Luz de freno mejorada.Enhanced brake light
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una luz de freno mejorada, aportando a la función a que se destina varias ventajas y características de novedad, frente a otros dispositivos y sistemas actualmente conocidos en el mercado para el mismo fin.The invention, as expressed in the statement of The present specification refers to a brake light improved, contributing to the function to which several advantages and Novelty features, compared to other devices and systems currently known in the market for the same purpose.
Más en particular, el objeto de la invención se centra en una luz de freno, del tipo que se instala como tercera luz de freno en la zona superior central de la parte posterior de los vehículos automóviles, presentando la particularidad de que está conectada a un circuito electrónico con el objeto de aumentar la seguridad de los conductores facilitándoles información visual de la intensidad de la frenada o desaceleración del vehículo cuando se pisa el freno.More particularly, the object of the invention is focuses on a brake light, of the type that is installed as a third light brake in the upper central area of the back of the motor vehicles, presenting the peculiarity that it is connected to an electronic circuit in order to increase the driver safety by providing visual information of the braking intensity or deceleration of the vehicle when Step on the brake.
Como es sabido, las luces de freno consisten, básicamente, en unas luces (dos en los vehículos automóviles) montadas mirando hacia atrás en un vehículo, cuyo encendido está controlado por un interruptor que es cerrado al funcionar el dispositivo de freno, habiéndose incorporado en los últimos años una tercera luz de freno situada elevada y en el centro de dicha parte de atrás de los vehículos.As is known, the brake lights consist, basically, in some lights (two in motor vehicles) mounted looking back on a vehicle, whose ignition is on controlled by a switch that is closed when the brake device, having incorporated in recent years a third brake light located high and in the center of said part from behind the vehicles.
Sin embargo, estas luces solo indican que se ha pisado el pedal de freno del vehículo al que están asociadas pero no muestran el grado de desaceleración o la intensidad con que se ha pisado el freno y por tanto, los conductores de los vehículos que van detrás no reciben ninguna indicación sobre la urgencia de la frenada.However, these lights only indicate that you have stepped on the brake pedal of the vehicle to which they are associated but not show the degree of deceleration or the intensity with which it has been stepped on the brake and therefore the drivers of the vehicles that they go behind do not receive any indication about the urgency of the braking
Para evitar este inconveniente se han dado a conocer diferentes soluciones, tales como las descritas en la patente ES 2247761, relativa a un sistema de luces de freno progresivas o la patente ES 2112295, relativa a un sistema de activación de luces de freno con un dispositivo de inercia.To avoid this inconvenience they have been given to know different solutions, such as those described in the patent ES 2247761, relating to a brake light system progressive or the patent ES 2112295, relating to a system of activation of brake lights with an inertia device.
Asimismo, cabe mencionar las patentes WO 93/15931 que describe un sistema con medios para la detección de un vehículo detenido y un indicador que presenta la magnitud de la deceleración, la patente US 4894652 que da a conocer un dispositivo de luz de freno adelantada que se vale de un sensor electromagnético montado en el pedal del acelerador, o la patente EP 0360167 que da a conocer un sistema de aviso de desaceleración que se basa en un sensor piezo-eléctrico.Also, WO patents should be mentioned 93/15931 describing a system with means for detecting a stopped vehicle and an indicator that shows the magnitude of the deceleration, US patent 4894652 which discloses a device of advanced brake light that uses an electromagnetic sensor mounted on the accelerator pedal, or patent EP 0360167 that gives know a deceleration warning system that is based on a piezoelectric sensor.
Sin embargo, en la mayoría de los casos, dichos sistemas constituyen soluciones de compleja instalación y/o escasa efectividad, y en todo caso, suponen alternativas distintas a la que aquí se propone, sobre la cual, por otra parte, debe señalarse que se desconoce la existencia de ninguna otra que presente características técnicas, estructurales o constitutivas semejantes.However, in most cases, said systems constitute complex installation solutions and / or scarce effectiveness, and in any case, suppose alternatives other than here it is proposed, on which, on the other hand, it should be noted that the existence of any other present is unknown technical, structural or constitutive characteristics similar.
Así, la luz de freno mejorada que la presente invención propone se configura como una destacable novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, estando los detalles caracterizadores que la distinguen de lo ya conocido en el mercado, adecuadamente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente memoria descriptiva.Thus, the improved brake light than present proposed invention is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, being the characterizing details that the distinguish from what is already known in the market, properly collected in the final claims that accompany the present specification descriptive
De manera concreta lo que la invención preconiza es una luz de freno, concretamente una tercera luz de freno del tipo constituida por una pluralidad de Leds, la cual está conectada a un circuito electrónico, de forma que, cuando se pisa el freno, se capta la desaceleración que se produce, se procesa electrónicamente y el resultado de dicho procesamiento se envía en forma de una frecuencia variable, proporcional a la intensidad de la frenada, para hacer oscilar el encendido y apagado de los Leds que conforman dicha tercera luz de freno.Specifically what the invention advocates it is a brake light, specifically a third brake light of the type constituted by a plurality of LEDs, which is connected to a electronic circuit, so that when the brake is pressed, it captures the deceleration that occurs, is processed electronically and the result of said processing is sent in the form of a variable frequency, proportional to the braking intensity, to swing the on and off of the LEDs that make up said third brake light.
De esta forma, transmitimos al conductor que se halla detrás la información de cuando se pisa el freno y, además, la intensidad de la frenada, ya que el dispositivo electrónico está capacitado para que a mayor frenada o desaceleración, mayor sea la frecuencia de oscilación de encendido y apagado de los Leds. Además, cuando la velocidad disminuye por debajo de un cierto limite, los Leds dejen de oscilar y se mantienen encendidos hasta que se deje de pisar el pedal de freno.In this way, we transmit to the driver that is behind the information of when the brake is pressed and, in addition, the braking intensity, since the electronic device is capable of greater braking or deceleration, the greater the oscillation frequency on and off of the LEDs. Further, when the speed decreases below a certain limit, the LEDs stop swinging and stay on until you stop press the brake pedal.
Asimismo, el dispositivo está pensado para que cuando la frenada sea muy brusca, al detenerse el vehículo, entre en funcionamiento de forma permanente (mientras el freno se mantenga pisado) una frecuencia fija de oscilación de los Leds, para informar a los vehículos que se aproximan por detrás de un posible peligro, yendo acompañado de un ligero sonido acústico que informe al conductor del vehículo que lleva instalado el dispositivo de que la tercera luz de freno esta manteniendo dicha oscilación continua.Also, the device is designed so that when the braking is very abrupt, when the vehicle stops, enter permanent operation (while the brake is maintained stepped on) a fixed oscillation frequency of the LEDs, to inform to vehicles approaching behind a possible danger, accompanied by a slight acoustic sound that informs the driver of the vehicle carrying the device that the Third brake light is maintaining said continuous oscillation.
Además, esta oscilación mantenida, es decir, esta indicación de peligro el conductor la podrá activar en cualquier momento que lo crea oportuno, para lo cual deberá pisar el pedal de freno de forma rápida dos veces seguida y mantenerlo pisado. En ese momento se produce la intermitencia de los Leds acompañada de un sonido que informa al conductor de que el sistema intermitente está activado, tanto si el vehículo está parado como en movimiento. Esta indicación de peligro puede resultar muy útil en caso de incidencias o retenciones, cuando se quiere transmitir esta situación a otros conductores.Also, this swing maintained, that is, this danger indication can be activated by the driver in any time it deems appropriate, for which you must step on the brake pedal quickly twice in a row and keep it stepped on. At that time the intermittence of the LEDs occurs accompanied by a sound that informs the driver that the system flashing is activated, whether the vehicle is stationary or in movement. This hazard indication can be very useful in case of incidents or retentions, when you want to transmit this situation to other drivers.
Finalmente, el dispositivo electrónico está capacitado para que, cuando el coche esté parado y el freno pisado transcurridos unos segundos, la intensidad de la luminosidad de los leds disminuya a más del 50%, con el objeto de reducir el consumo eléctrico.Finally, the electronic device is trained so that when the car is stopped and the brake is depressed After a few seconds, the intensity of the brightness of the LEDs decrease to more than 50%, in order to reduce consumption electric.
El volumen que ocupa el dispositivo electrónico es equivalente a una caja de cerillas, por lo que se puede integran en la propia barra de Leds y se conecta en serie con esta.The volume occupied by the electronic device It is equivalent to a matchbox, so it can be integrated in the LED bar itself and connected in series with it.
La descrita luz de freno mejorada representa, pues, una estructura innovadora de características estructurales y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita.The described improved brake light represents, therefore, an innovative structure with structural characteristics and constitutives unknown so far, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the exclusivity privilege requested.

Así, la luz de freno (1) en cuestión, es una tercera luz de freno constituida por una barra de fuentes de luz tipo Leds (2), a los que se encuentra conectado en serie un dispositivo electrónico (3).Thus, the brake light (1) in question is a third brake light consisting of a light source bar type Leds (2), to which a series is connected electronic device (3).
Dicho dispositivo electrónico comprende un acelerómetro (4) y un microcontrolador (5) dotado del correspondiente programa para conseguir el objetivo deseado.Said electronic device comprises a accelerometer (4) and a microcontroller (5) equipped with corresponding program to achieve the desired objective.
Cuando se pisa el freno, se alimenta el dispositivo electrónico (3) y el acelerómetro (4) envía unos impulsos eléctricos hacia el microcontrolador (5), siendo el ancho de dichos impulsos proporcional a la desaceleración.When the brake is pressed, the electronic device (3) and the accelerometer (4) sends about electrical impulses to the microcontroller (5), the width being of said pulses proportional to the deceleration.
El microcontrolador (5) mide el ancho de estos impulsos y procesa la información para obtener una frecuencia variable y logarítmica para la oscilación de los Leds (2). Es decir, se transforma el ancho de los impulsos del acelerómetro en una frecuencia proporcional que después se aplica para conectar y desconectar la barra de Leds, siendo esta frecuencia proporcional a la desaceleración.The microcontroller (5) measures the width of these impulses and processes the information to obtain a frequency variable and logarithmic for the oscillation of the LEDs (2). That is to say, the width of the accelerometer pulses is transformed into a proportional frequency that is then applied to connect and disconnect the LED bar, this frequency being proportional to the slowdown.
El dispositivo cuenta con un regulador de tensión (6) de 12v a 5v y con un diodo (7) para proteger toda la electrónica de posibles conexiones erróneas de polaridad de los 12v.The device has a regulator of voltage (6) from 12v to 5v and with a diode (7) to protect all the electronics of possible wrong polarity connections of the 12v
Cuando se pisa el pedal de freno (8), además de producirse la conexión con las luces de freno laterales (11), el transistor (9) del dispositivo (3), que lógicamente deberá contar con características acordes al consumo de los Leds (2), conecta y desconecta la barra de Leds (2) a una frecuencia variable que depende de la desaceleración mientras el coche está en movimiento. Si el coche está parado, conecta y desconecta según se actúe sobre el pedal del freno (8). Si se activa el modo intermitente, por frenada brusca o por que el conductor así lo desea, pisando dos veces seguida de forma rápida el pedal de freno (8), la frecuencia de encendido y apagado de los Leds es fija.When the brake pedal (8) is pressed, in addition to the connection with the side brake lights (11), the transistor (9) of the device (3), which logically must count with characteristics according to the consumption of the LEDs (2), connect and disconnect the LED bar (2) at a variable frequency that It depends on the deceleration while the car is moving. If the car is stopped, connect and disconnect as you act on the brake pedal (8). If the intermittent mode is activated, then sudden braking or because the driver wants it, stepping on two Quickly followed the brake pedal (8), the frequency On and off of the LEDs is fixed.
El dispositivo electrónico (3) que integra la luz de freno (1) preconizada cuenta, asimismo, con un altavoz piezoeléctrico (10) que tiene la finalidad de informa al conductor cuando se activa la intermitencia constante de los Leds anteriormente señalado, emitiendo un ligero sonido. Este sistema de intermitencia constante se desactiva y todo se resetea en el momento que se deja de pisar el pedal de freno (8), dado que en dicho momento el microcontrolador electrónico (5) deja de recibir los 12v de alimentación.The electronic device (3) that integrates the brake light (1) recommended also has a speaker piezoelectric (10) that aims to inform the driver when the constant flashing of the LEDs is activated previously indicated, emitting a slight sound. This system of constant flashing is deactivated and everything is reset at the moment that the brake pedal (8) is stopped, since in said moment the electronic microcontroller (5) stops receiving the 12v of feeding.
