MULTI-LIGHTING PROJECTION WARNING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE TURNING

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-lighting projection warning device for vehicle turning, which comprises a composite lamp and a control unit. The composite lamp is arranged on one side of a vehicle and combined with a range indicator light, a contour indicator light, and a text or pattern indicator light, so that the composite lamp can project lighting to a visual blind spot when the vehicle turns or reverses to appear a warning area. The range indicator light is used to illuminate an entire range of the warning area, the contour indicator light is used to clearly mark a contour of the warning area, and the text or pattern indicator light is used to project text or pattern on the warning area to enhance warning effect. The control unit is connected to the composite lamp to enable functions of controlling rotation and start-stop lighting of the composite lamp. Thereby, when the vehicle is turning, the invention projects composite lightings on the ground at the turning side to form the warning area, so as to actively warn other passers-by to dodge the warning area and increase the safety of passers-by.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0034] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the invention provides a multi-lighting projection warning device for vehicle turning, which mainly includes a composite lamp 100 and a control unit 200.

[0035] The composite lamp 100 is arranged on one side of a vehicle 300, which is combined with a range indicator light 110, a contour indicator light 120, and a text or pattern indicator light 130. The composite lamp 100 projects lighting towards a visual blind spot of the turning vehicle 300 to appear a warning area 400 when the vehicle 300 is turning. Among them, the range indicator light 110 is used to illuminate an entire range of the warning area 400, the contour indicator light 120 is used to clearly mark a contour 410 of the warning area 400, and the text or pattern indicator light 130 is used to project text or pattern 420 on the warning area 400 to enhance warning effect.

[0036] The control unit 200 is connected to the composite lamp 100, and enables functions of the control unit 200 to control rotation, start-stop lighting of the composite lamp 100.

[0037] By means of the aforementioned structure, the invention projects three kinds of lightings on the warning area 400. Usually, for the general designer's thinking, only the entire range of the warning area 400 will be irradiated. However, in practice, due to the influence of weather, time, and road conditions, the lighting within the warning area 400 cannot be consistent, and its edge is not obvious enough, which easy to make the overall lighting effect incomplete and it is difficult to provide useful warning effect for other passers-by 500. By using the design of the invention, in addition to the relatively vague entire range, the contour 410 of the warning area 400 can be clearly displayed to let the passers-by 500 follow. In addition, the vivid combination of the text or pattern 420 can actively warn the passers-by 500 to be careful to achieve the best effect.

[0038] To increase the warning effect, the control unit 200 can separately or simultaneously adjust the functions of the range indicator light 110, the contour indicator light 120, and the text or pattern indicator light 130, and make changes as needed. Then, it can also change the respective color, brightness, clarity, flashing and other actions of each lamp, and their combinations will become thousands, so it can naturally achieve the best effect. Of course, these warning actions must comply with relevant laws and regulations, and should not be too violent; otherwise it will have adverse effects on the passers-by 500.

[0039] With regard to the text or pattern indicator light 130, the control unit 200 may individually control the rotation of the text or pattern indicator light 130 to move or change the text or pattern 420 within the entire range of the warning area 400, or to make a marquee effect, so as to more clearly expose the entire range of the warning area 400.

[0040] In addition to using lightings, the control unit 200 can also be connected to an alarm 210 to send out a warning sound.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the setting of the warning area 400 of the different vehicle 300, the control unit 200 of the invention is further connected to a parameter unit 310 which records the model, length and other information of the vehicle 300, so that the control unit 200 can automatically adjust a projection direction and a range of the composite lamp 100 according to the parameters of the vehicle 300 to generate a best warning area 400 of the vehicle 300.

[0042] In addition, with regard to the composite lamp 100, a lampshade 140 is arranged on an outside of the composite lamp 100, which provides basic protection or waterproof, dustproof and heat dissipation functions. A knob 150 is arranged on an outside of the lampshade 140, which may control an angle of the composite lamp 100 to adjust a range of the warning area 400. By means of the knob 150 cooperates with the control unit 200 to obtain the best result.

[0043] A slit 160 is arranged on the lampshade 140, so that the light ray of the contour indicator light 120 passes through the slit 160 to project a sharper line of the contour 410.

[0044] In addition to the foregoing structure, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the control unit 200 is connected to an action sensor 220 which can be installed together with the composite lamp 100 or separately installed at the front or rear of the vehicle 300, and sense towards an edge of the contour 410 of the warning area 400. When an object enters the warning area 400, the action sensor 220 is triggered and the control unit 200 sends out the warning sound through the alarm 210.

[0045] Also, please refer to FIG. 6, in addition to adjusting the size of the composite lamp 100 according to the length of the vehicle 300, or for the vehicle 300 that is too long, a plurality of composite lamps 100 can be simultaneously arranged on one side of the vehicle 300, so that the light rays projected by the plurality of composite lamps 100 overlap each other to form the warning area 400 conforming to the size of the vehicle 300.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 7, in addition to the side of the vehicle 300, the invention also sets the composite lamp 100 behind the vehicle 300 to project a warning area 400 thereof as a warning function for reversing or reverse turning.

[0047] To sum up the above description, the functions that can be achieved by the invention have been clearly shown. Of course, there are many types of the range indicator light 110, the contour indicator light 120, and the text or pattern indicator light 130, such as LED lights, laser lights or halogen lights. All those that can perform effective lighting functions belong to the patent application scope of the invention.

[0048] The invention can be applied to any vehicle 300, but is mainly applied to large vehicles 300, such as large passenger vehicles, buses, trucks, dump trucks, tour buses, tractor-full trailers, tractor-semi trailers or freight cars, etc., and there is no restriction here.

[0049] While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
