Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Purpose of the invention) (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a signal light used for traffic regulation and security.

(Prior Art) Signal lights are generally used for traffic control and security during road construction, security, etc., in which a light bulb is placed inside a plastic cylinder and the light bulb is turned on.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, since such signal lights are direct, when the signal lights are used in a crossed manner for traffic control etc., it is necessary to hold the signal lights in each hand and cross the signals. As a result, both hands are always occupied, which is extremely inconvenient.Furthermore, since such signal lights are often waved by hand, failures such as bulb burnouts often occur.

The present invention attempts to solve these problems as described below.

(Structure of the Invention) (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to solve the problems by energizing a plurality of light emitting diodes in the length direction of each of two bases. The two base bodies are placed side by side as much as possible, and the two base bodies are overlapped and connected to each other at the center so as to be rotatable, and a handle is attached to the end of one of the base bodies to form a signal light.

(Function) The above-mentioned signal light can be used both in a direct shape and in a cross shape by rotating one of the two stacked base bodies around the connecting portion.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Figure 1 is a plan view showing the outline of the exterior, Figure 2 is A-
In the A cross-sectional view, 1 and 2 are the base body, 3 is a light emitting diode, 4 is a handle, and 5 and 6 are reflectors.

The bases 1 and 2 each have a rod shape, in this case a plate body shaped like a gutter, and have a plurality of light emitting diodes 3 installed and positioned in the longitudinal direction so as to be energized, and are rotatably connected to each other around the center. The parts are connected. The handle 4 is attached to one of the stacked parts 1 and 2, here to the end of the base body 2 located on the lower side. 5 and 6 are each base 1,
A reflector is attached to cover the surface of the light emitting diode 2, and when the light emitting diode 3 is energized and emits light, it plays the role of diffusing the light emitted from the light emitting diode 3 from the rear surface to the surface.

FIG. 3 shows an example of connection between the bases 1 and 2 at the center.The base 1 located above and the base 2 located below are connected by a hollow shaft 7 to the bottom 1 of the base 1.
a and a reflector 6 located on the front side of the base body 2 to be rotatably connected by passing through the reflector 6 and the spring 8
is under pressure. Here, grooves are formed in the rotation direction on the back surface of the base body 1 and the surface of the base body 2,
Since the bearing 9 is inserted here, even if the base body 1 and the base body 2 are pressed by the spring 8, a gap will be created between the two by the bearing 9.
The bearing 9 allows smooth rotation. Note that it goes without saying that the rotation of the base 1 and the base 2 may be performed manually, mechanically, or electrically.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a circuit of a light emitting system for light emitting diodes. According to this circuit, the power source is a battery 14, and when the power switch 10 is turned on and the changeover switch 11 is turned on, the bases 1 and 2 are turned on. All of the light emitting diodes 3 are lit. At this time, when the changeover switch 11 is turned OFF, the light emitting diode 3 of the base 2 is turned off. The controller 13 can be used to change the light emission method to a dimming light emission type, a continuous light emission type, or a continuous light emission type.
Either sequential light emitting type can be adopted.

(Operation) Since the present invention constitutes a signal light as a whole in this way, in order to cause the entire light emitting diodes of base 1 and base 2 to emit light, first, the power switch 1 must be turned on.
0 and changeover switch 11 are turned on, and the base 1 is turned on.
When it is necessary to cause only the light emitting diode 3 to emit light, the changeover switch 11 is turned off.

When it is necessary to perform traffic control and stop a vehicle, etc., the light emitting diode 3 emits light with the bases 1 and 2 crossed to send a signal to the vehicle to stop, and also to cancel the stop and stop the vehicle. When advancing the light emitting diode 3 of the base 2, the switch 11 is turned OFF, or the base 1 and the base 2 are swung in a straight line by rotating the base 1 around the center.

(Effects of the invention) Since the invention is made as described above, it has the following effects.

First, the signal light has two bases, and these two are rotatably connected at the center in a straight line or cross shape, so traffic lights do not need to have two signal lights as in the past. It is possible to send signals to vehicles, such as to stop or cancel stop, in regulations, etc. Since the light emitter is a light emitting diode, the bulb will not run out and the battery will last a long time. Storage is convenient because the two base bodies can be made in a straight line. If necessary, the two bases can be connected with their light emitting surfaces facing outward, so that light emission from both sides is also possible.
