Description

Traffic turning light filling structure

The present invention relates to a vehicle turning fill-in light structure, mainly referring to a fill-in light structure that can be used when a vehicle turns.

At present, people often use two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycles and bicycles powered by fuel, electricity or human power as a light-riding means of transportation. Such vehicles are often equipped with headlights and turn signals to provide front lighting and warning. For motorcycles, the headlights are located in front of the motorcycle, with low beams and high beams, and can emit light toward the front of the vehicle. However, when the vehicle turns left, the vehicle will tilt to the lower left due to the centrifugal force, and a dark area will be formed in the upper left. When turning right, a dark area will also be formed in the upper right, resulting in a narrow illumination range in front of the vehicle when turning, which reduces driving safety.

To improve the above shortcomings, TWM587622 has two LEDs for supplementary lighting installed on the motorcycle headlights, which can supplement lighting when turning to improve the safety of vision when turning. However, the structure of the turning LED and the headlight that is always on are integrated into one lamp housing, which will cause the problem of poor heat concentration and heat dissipation. In addition, the design causes motorcycles that do not have this type of headlight to replace expensive headlights before installing the headlight with the turning LED, which has the problem of high installation and replacement costs.

For example, TWI780621 is provided with a headlight housing and a turn signal housing. The turn signal housing has the turn signal and both the headlight housing and the headlight housing are arranged in the front outer shell of the vehicle body, which can reduce the volume and avoid heat concentration loss.

However, the aforementioned structure must use the corresponding type of the previous housing and turn signal housing, which will make it difficult to replace and install the turn signal on other vehicle bodies, and has the disadvantage of high replacement cost.

For example, TWI285606 has a headlight and a swivel fill light installed on the front hood of the vehicle. However, the light is embedded in the front hood, so that other vehicles without the front hood need to drill holes to install the light, which is inconvenient to install and damages the vehicle body.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a directional auxiliary lighting structure which can provide directional auxiliary lighting and has better installation applicability and lighting range.

The invention comprises a headlight, a left turn signal, a right turn signal, a right fill light device, a left fill light device, and a detection control device. The headlight is arranged in front of the vehicle body and can output low beam and high beam. The left turn signal is arranged on the left side of the vehicle body and has a left lamp housing. A left light-emitting body capable of flashing is arranged in the left lamp housing. The right turn signal is arranged on the right side of the vehicle body and has a right lamp housing. A right light-emitting body capable of flashing is arranged in the right lamp housing. The right fill light device has at least one The right fill light emitting body is arranged at the position of the left turn light, and the light emitting direction thereof is toward the right front of the vehicle body; the left fill light device has at least one left fill light emitting body, and the left fill light emitting body is arranged at the position of the right turn light, and the light emitting direction thereof is toward the left front of the vehicle body; the detection control device is arranged on the vehicle body, electrically connected to the right fill light device and the left fill light device, and can control the movement of the right fill light emitting body or the left fill light emitting body when the vehicle body turns right or left.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the right fill light emitting body and the left fill light emitting body can respectively output light to the right side or left side extension position of the output light of the headlamp.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the right fill light emitter has a first right fill light emitter, a second right fill light emitter, and a third right fill light emitter. The first right fill light emitter emits light to the right side of the headlight output light in a parallel direction; the second right fill light emitter emits light to the right side of the headlight output light and extends upward in a horizontal direction to a first angle surrounding position; the third right fill light emitter emits light to the headlight output light and extends upward in a horizontal direction to the right side of the headlight output light. The second angle The left fill light device has a first left fill light emitting body, a second left fill light emitting body, and a third left fill light emitting body. The first left fill light emitting body emits light to the left side of the headlight output light in a parallel direction. The second left fill light emitting body outputs light to the left side of the headlight output light at a third angle surrounding position extending upward from the horizontal direction; the third left fill light emitting body outputs light to the left side of the headlight output light at a fourth angle surrounding position extending upward from the horizontal direction, and the fourth angle is greater than the third angle.

In one embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle body is moving straight, the headlight, the first right fill light emitting body, and the first left fill light emitting body emit light simultaneously; when the vehicle body turns right to the corresponding first angle, the headlight, the second right fill light emitting body, and the first left fill light emitting body emit light, and when the right turn signal flashes, the first left fill light emitting body stops emitting light; and when the vehicle body turns right to the corresponding second angle, the headlight, the third right fill light emitting body, and the first left fill light emitting body emit light, and the right turn signal flashes. When the turn signal light flashes, the first left fill light emitting body stops emitting light; when the vehicle body turns left to the corresponding third angle, the headlight, the second left fill light emitting body, and the first right fill light emitting body emit light, and when the left direction light flashes, the first right fill light emitting body stops emitting light; when the vehicle body turns left to the corresponding fourth angle, the headlight, the third left fill light emitting body, and the first right fill light emitting body emit light, and when the left direction light flashes, the first right fill light emitting body stops emitting light.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection control device has an angle detector or a tilt detector.

The present invention can make the right fill light device or the left fill light device fill light when the driver turns right or left to improve lighting safety. When the vehicle body turns right, due to the centrifugal force and inertia, the vehicle body is tilted toward the lower right, but the left turn signal light will be correspondingly raised, and its height is greater than the height of the right turn signal light. Therefore, the right fill light emitting body in the left turn signal light will not mainly emit light downward, but can be directed to the front and the upper right side of the headlight output light, which can improve the right side for better brightness. When the vehicle body turns left, the left fill light emitting body in the right turn signal light will not mainly emit light downward, but can be directed to the front and the upper left side of the headlight output light, which can improve the left side for better brightness.

The right fill light device and the left fill light device of the present invention are respectively arranged on the left turn light and the right turn light, so the original left and right turn lights of the vehicle body can be removed for replacement, which is simple and convenient. The cost of the left and right turn lights is low, which can greatly reduce the replacement cost and make the present invention easy to popularize.

In the following embodiments, the front and rear directions of the present invention correspond to the front and rear directions of the driver when riding a vehicle. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. The present invention includes a headlight 1, a left turn signal light 2, a right turn signal light 3, a right fill light device 4, a left fill light device 5, and a detection control device 6. The headlight 1 is arranged in front of the vehicle body and can output a low beam and a high beam.

The left turn signal lamp 2 is disposed on the left side of the vehicle body and has a left lamp housing 21. The left lamp housing 21 has a left light emitting body 22 capable of flashing and emitting light.

The right turn signal lamp 3 is disposed on the right side of the vehicle body and has a right lamp housing 31. The right lamp housing 31 has a right light emitting body 32 capable of flashing and emitting light.

The right fill light device 4 is disposed in the left lamp housing 21 of the left turn signal lamp 2, and its light emitting direction is toward the right front of the vehicle body. It has a first right fill light emitting body 41, a second right fill light emitting body 42, and a third right fill light emitting body 43. As shown in the light shape of L1 in FIG. 3 , the first right fill light emitting body 41 emits light to the right side of the output light of the headlamp 1 (as shown in the dotted line portion of the figure) and extends in a parallel direction; as shown in the light shape of L2 in FIG. 3 , the second right fill light emitting body 42 emits light to the right side of the output light of the headlamp 1 and extends upward in the horizontal direction around a first angle θ1; as shown in the light shape of L3 in FIG. 3 , the third right fill light emitting body 43 emits light to the output light of the headlamp 1 and extends upward in the horizontal direction around a second angle θ2, and the second angle θ2 is greater than the first angle θ1.

The left fill light device 5 is disposed in the right lamp housing 31 of the right turn light 3, and the light emitted by the left fill light device 5 is directed toward the left front of the vehicle body. The left fill light device 51, the second fill light device 52, and the third fill light device 53 are provided. As shown in the light pattern of L1 in FIG. 3, the first fill light device 51 emits light to the left side of the output light of the headlight 1 (as shown in the dotted line part of the figure) and extends in a parallel direction; as shown in L4 in FIG. 3 As shown in the light shape of FIG. 3 , the second left fill light emitting body 52 outputs light to the left side of the light output of the headlamp 1 at a third angle θ3 extending upward from the horizontal direction around the position; as shown in the light shape of FIG. 3 L5, the third left fill light emitting body 53 outputs light to the left side of the light output of the headlamp 1 at a fourth angle θ4 extending upward from the horizontal direction around the position, and the fourth angle θ4 is greater than the third angle θ3.

The detection control device 6 is disposed on the vehicle body and has an angle detector or a tilt detector. In this embodiment, it is an angle detector and is electrically connected to the first, second, and third right fill light emitting bodies 41, 42, and 43 of the right fill light device 4 and the first, second, and third left fill light emitting bodies 51, 52, and 53 of the left fill light device 5.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. When the low beam or high beam of the headlight 1 of the present invention is turned on, it can emit light in front of the vehicle body. At this time, the detection control device 6 detects that the angle of the front of the vehicle is facing forward or not tilted, and makes the first right fill light emitting body 41 and the first left fill light emitting body 51 emit light at the same time. At this time, the headlight 1 can output light to the left and right sides to form a light shape L1 in Figure 3 extending to the left and right, which can enhance the lighting effect of a larger range in front of the vehicle body.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. When the driver turns right, the right light emitting body 32 of the right turn signal lamp 3 can flash and emit light, and the detection control device 6 can stop the first left fill light emitting body 51 from emitting light when the right light emitting body 32 flashes and emits light, so as to prevent the light outputted by the first left fill light emitting body 51 from affecting the flashing and emitting effect of the right light emitting body 32. As shown in the light shapes L2 and L3 of Figure 3, when the right light emitting body 32 emits light, the dotted line position does not emit light. If the right light emitting body 32 stops emitting light, the first left fill light emitting body 51 keeps emitting light.

When the turning angle or the tilting angle corresponds to the state in which the second right fill light emitting body 42 should emit light, the detection control device 6 makes the second right fill light emitting body 42 emit light. At this time, although the vehicle body is tilted toward the lower right due to the centrifugal force and inertia when the vehicle body turns right, as shown in FIG. 5 , the left turn signal 2 will be correspondingly raised, and its height H1 is greater than the height H2 of the right turn signal 3. Therefore, the second right fill light emitting body 42 in the left turn signal 2 will not mainly emit light downward, and can output light to the position around the first angle θ1 above the right side of the light output of the headlight 1 as shown in FIG. 3 , which can enhance the brighter effect on the right side.

In the present invention, when the right bending angle or the tilting angle is larger, corresponding to the lighting state of the third right fill light emitting body 43, the detection control device 6 enables the third right fill light emitting body 43 to emit light, and because the position of the left turn signal lamp 2 is further raised, the light emitted by the third right fill light emitting body 43 can be directed toward the upper right side of the output light of the L3 light-shaped headlight 1 in Figure 3 and the position around the second angle θ2, which can illuminate in the direction of the turning angle to have a brighter effect.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 6 and 7. Similar to the lighting methods of Figures 4 and 5 above, the present invention can turn on the low beam or high beam of the headlight 1 and the driver turns left, so that the left light emitting body 22 of the left turn signal 2 can flash and emit light, and the detection control device 6 can stop the first right fill light emitting body 41 from emitting light when the left light emitting body 22 emits light, so as to prevent the output light of the first right fill light emitting body 41 from affecting the flashing lighting effect of the left light emitting body 22. For example, in the light shapes L4 and L5 of Figure 3, when the left light emitting body 22 emits light, the dotted line position does not emit light. If the left light emitting body 22 stops emitting light, the first right fill light emitting body 41 continues to emit light.

The present invention is similar to the above-mentioned vehicle body right turn situation. When the vehicle body turns left at an angle or tilt angle corresponding to the second left fill light emitting body 52 or the third left fill light emitting body 53 should emit light, the vehicle body turns left inertialy to the lower left side, but the right turn light 3 will be correspondingly raised, and the height H3 of the right turn light 3 is greater than the height H4 of the left turn light 2. Therefore, the second left fill light emitting body 52 or the third left fill light emitting body 53 in the right turn light 3 will not mainly emit light downward, and can output light to the front as shown in Figure 3 L4, L5 light shape and the upper left side of the headlight 1 output light around the third angle θ3 or the fourth angle θ4 to enhance the left side for better brightness effect.

The right fill light device 4 and the left fill light device 5 of the present invention are respectively arranged on the left turn light 2 and the right turn light 3, so the original left and right turn lights 2 and 3 of the vehicle body can be removed for replacement, and the replacement is simple. In addition, the right and left fill light devices 4 and 5 are integrated into the left and right turn lights 2 and 3, and there is no need to drill holes in the vehicle body for installation, which can make the vehicle body appearance better. In addition, the left and right turn lights 2 and 3 are low in cost, which can greatly reduce the replacement cost and make the present invention easy to popularize.

Please refer to FIG8 which is another schematic diagram of the fill light structure of the present invention disposed on a vehicle body, wherein the difference between FIG8 and FIG1 is that the left light emitting body 22 and the right light emitting body 32 capable of emitting amber light or red light are respectively disposed behind the lenses (not shown) of the right fill light device 4 and the left fill light device 5 emitting white light, and the left turn signal lamp 2 and the right turn signal lamp 3 of the present invention can have a more concise texture.

Therefore, from the above, the present invention can effectively respond to the angle of the vehicle body turning, and its main direction of filling light will not be downward, and it can be easily installed, and can have better economic benefits. The right and left filling light devices of the present invention can also be respectively set around the left and right turn lights, and do not necessarily need to be set in the left and right lamp housings. The above embodiments are examples of the present invention and are not limited to the present invention. Any equivalent changes made according to the spirit of the present invention should also fall within the scope of the present invention.
