Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention automatically turns on or off the headlight according to the running of the car, eliminating glare from oncoming vehicles and front vehicles when waiting for a signal, It reduces the discharge of the battery.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Until now, when the headlights were turned on when waiting for a signal, oncoming vehicles and passengers in front of the vehicle were dazzled and the battery was easily discharged. The driver who disliked it was troublesome because he had to switch between the headlights and the side lights each time he was driving on a busy road or waiting for a signal. In addition, even after the vehicles started, many of them were still running without forgetting to switch to the headlights, which was extremely dangerous.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Except for its drawbacks, the main idea is to develop a headlight that is kind to the surrounding people and cars and has high durability and safety.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 (1) When the light control switch is turned on and the stop lamp switch and parking brake / operation detection switch are not turned on, turn on the headlight or increase the light intensity via the control circuit. (2) When the back up lamp switch is turned on, turn off the headlight or reduce the light intensity via the control circuit. (3) If the vehicle speed sensor detects that the vehicle is stopped when the stop lamp switch is on, turn off the headlight or reduce the light intensity via the control circuit.

[0005]

[Action and Example]

 (1) When driving at night, when the car is completely stopped, the headlights are automatically turned off. (2) The headlight that had been turned off automatically turns on when the vehicle is started. (3) Automatically turn off unnecessary headlights when moving the car backwards.

[0006]

[Effect of device]

 By installing the present invention in an automobile, there is no need to switch the headlights and side lights when driving on traffic roads or waiting for a signal. Eliminate the glare of passengers. In addition, there is no need to drive without forgetting to switch to the headlights, which greatly contributes to traffic safety.

[Action and Example]

 (1) When driving at night, when the car is completely stopped, the headlights are automatically turned off. However, it is not desirable to turn off the headlights instantly at the time of suspension, so it is necessary to provide a time lag of about 2 to 3 seconds. In addition, in order to indicate the intention to start (to indicate the intention to start an oncoming vehicle on one side of a road or to wait for a priority vehicle to pass at an intersection and then to drive from a priority direction after passing that vehicle) Since the light may be turned on, it is preferable to provide a temporary release switch. (2) The headlight that was off goes on automatically when the vehicle is started. Also, when the vehicle starts off with the brakes applied on a steep downhill, or when an automatic vehicle starts using the creep phenomenon, the vehicle speed sensor detects the forward movement of the vehicle and automatically It is more effective to turn on. (3) When moving the vehicle backward, unnecessary headlights are automatically turned off.
