Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a garage entry warning device, which is used when vehicles such as large trucks and buses enter the garage, especially when they are driving on the road and stop once. This relates to a warning device that warns vehicles to enter the garage when the vehicle backs up to the left or right and enters the garage, informing the following vehicle that the vehicle is entering the garage to the right or left to prevent rear-end collisions and other dangers. It is something.

(Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention) Conventionally, as a cautionary measure for vehicles, the driver or his assistant got out of the vehicle and warned the following vehicle. However, it was difficult to take prompt precautions.

In view of this situation, the present invention was devised as a device that quickly alerts following vehicles when backing up to a garage.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Figures 1 to 5 show a main display panel 1 capable of displaying backing and the required direction of backing to the left or right by coloring or emitting white light; A rotating means that is mounted on an axis at the end 3 of the display panel 1 and rotates by energization controlled by the driver's seat 9 to move to the side of the main display panel 1 to a position where it can be seen by the following vehicle. 5, and the sub-display panel 2 is provided with an attention-calling means 4 that emits light when energized and controlled by the driver's seat 9 to alert the following vehicles. A warning device indicating when to enter the garage is shown.

In practice, as shown in FIG. 1, the main display panel 1 is equipped with a luminous character 11 that is colored or emits white light when energized and controlled from the driver's seat 9 only when in use, that is, a display indicating that the vehicle is backing up. Luminous font and right arrow 7
and a left arrow 6 are provided. As a means for displaying the required back direction to the left or right on the main display panel 1 by light emission, the left or right arrow 6 (or 7) is shown in the figure in which it emits blinking light.

As shown in Figure 1, the sub-display panel 2 has sub-luminous characters 12 that are colored or emit white light when energized and controlled by the driver's seat 9 only when in use. A sub-light-emitting character font is provided.

(Function) Immediately before a vehicle such as a truck or bus temporarily stops and backs up to the right or left to enter the garage, the instruction switch 10 provided on the driver's seat 9 is turned on to activate the garage entry warning device of the present invention. It operates,
When the instruction switch 10 is turned on, the main display panel 1 displays the back movement and the required back direction to the left or right using colored or white light, and at the same time, the sub display panel 2 displays the following: Due to the operation of the rotation means 5, the main display panel 2 is moved to the side so that it can be seen by the following vehicle, and the attention calling means 4
When energized, the light emits light to alert following vehicles. In this way, it plays a role in preventing accidents.

Next, when the driver completes parking and puts the reverse gear into neutral, this instruction switch is turned OFF, the sub-display panel 2 returns to its original position when not in use, and all the light-emitting parts turn off.

(Embodiment) FIGS. 3 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which the rotating means 5 of the sub-display panel 2 is shown.
However, an embodiment is shown in which the shape-memory alloy rod 8 is twisted by being energized.

As shown in FIG. 4, the left end 13 of the square shape memory alloy rod 8 is fixed to the main display panel 1 side, and the right end 14 is attached to the sub display panel 2 side. When the power is turned on by turning on the instruction switch 10 from the driver's seat 9, the right end 14 of the shape memory alloy rod 8 is twisted to the position 14' shown by the dotted line in FIG. It will rotate until
Accordingly, the sub-display panel 2 rotates as shown by the arrow 15 from the location indicated by the two-dot chain line to the location indicated by the solid line in FIG. In Figure 3, 16, 16
17 and 18 are hinges for pivoting the sub-display panel 2 to the main display panel 1, respectively.
The fixtures 4, 19, 19 are shaft bearings that support both end portions of the central portion 20 of the shape memory alloy rod 8.
It goes without saying that other means such as a small servo motor can be used as the rotation means.

In FIG. 1, it is preferable that the word "back" of the luminous character 11 "back" be displayed in a particularly large size. The light-emitting character body 11 is made to emit yellow light, for example, and the indicator lights 6 and 7 on the left or right side are made to blink and emit red flashing lights to make them more visible to the following vehicles. It is preferable that "Sorry" and "Wait" of "Sorry, please wait a moment" of the sub-luminous font 12 be displayed in a particularly large size. The sub-light-emitting character body 12 is made to emit light in yellow, for example, so as to be noticeable to the following vehicles. In the diagram,
21 is a screw insertion hole for attaching the main display panel.

The device of the present invention is mounted on the outer wall of a vehicle at a location where it can be easily seen by following vehicles, such as at the rear of the vehicle.

In the present invention, "switch operation to the left or right" does not mean that the switch itself turns to the left or right, but rather to the operation of the left and right arrows 6 and 7. This means that the switch is operated to energize the indicator light of the desired arrow (for example, the left arrow in the illustrated example) (see the circuit diagram in Figure 5. In the figure, 22 is the left turn indicator). 23 is a right turn display switch contact, 24 is a right turn display switch contact.
is the switch contact for turning off the light. ) (Effects) As described above, the present invention can be used for large trucks,
When a vehicle such as a bus is parked in a garage, especially when it is traveling on the road, stops, backs up to the left or right, and enters the garage, there is a warning to the following vehicle that it is parked to the right or left. It is possible to prevent dangers such as rear-end collisions by quickly and accurately conveying information, and furthermore, the garage parking instruction warning device of the present invention has the great features of being inexpensive to manufacture and extremely easy to handle.
