Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne la signalisation automobile permettant d'informer les usagers de la route de l'action de freinage d'un véhicule. The present invention relates to automobile signaling for informing road users of the braking action of a vehicle.
Les signaux de freinage usités émettent sous l'action de la pedale de frein, un éclairage continu rouge à l'arrière du véhicule. La signalisation de freinage cesse avec l'arrêt de la pression sur la pédale de frein. The usual braking signals emit, under the action of the brake pedal, a continuous red light at the rear of the vehicle. The brake signaling stops when the pressure on the brake pedal stops.
Par temps pluvieux ou la nuit, les automobilistes perçoivent peu la manifestation de freinage du véhicule qui les précède, les signaux stop actuels se confondent souvent avec les autres éclairages de signaux lisation carrière tel que feux rouges, feux de gabarit, feux de brouillard, souvent en nombre important sur les poids lourds ; l'utilisation du mme boîtier, du même réflecteur, du même support de lampes à deux filaments accroît la confusion des automobilistes suiveurs, les feux rouges et les feux stop ayant souvent le même foyer. Cette confusion atteint son paroxisme sur auto-route et voie rapide par temps de brouillard avec la dépréciation des distances et la fixation visuelle des feux carrière de brouillard. In rainy weather or at night, motorists hardly perceive the manifestation of braking of the vehicle which precedes them, the current stop signals are often confused with other career signaling lights such as red lights, clearance lights, fog lights, often in large numbers on heavy goods vehicles; the use of the same housing, of the same reflector, of the same lamp holder with two filaments increases the confusion of the following motorists, the red lights and the stop lights often having the same focus. This confusion reaches its climax on motorways and expressways in foggy weather with the depreciation of distances and the visual fixation of career fog lights.
Le dispos;tif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.
Il comporte un boîtier caractérisé par une centrale clignotante électronique associée à un relais électromagnétique à contact F ouvert au repos, le circuit intégré de la centrale clignotante est piloté par un circuit électronique de commande qui est constitué d'un thyristor et de résistances d'accompagnement. Le boîtier est muni de bornes de raccordement électrique et d'une patte support assurant la liaison avec la masse. Ce boîtier inséré dans le circuit électrique des feux de brouillard arrière permet le clignotement ou ltéclairage continu de ces feux de brouillard. It includes a box characterized by an electronic flashing unit associated with an electromagnetic relay with F contact open at rest, the integrated circuit of the flashing unit is controlled by an electronic control circuit which consists of a thyristor and accompanying resistors . The box is fitted with electrical connection terminals and a support lug ensuring connection to ground. This box inserted in the electrical circuit of the rear fog lights allows the flashing or continuous lighting of these fog lights.
Selon une première forme de réalisation, par temps de brouillard, feux de brouillard arrière allumés le moyen consiste de faire clignoter la signalisation de brouillard arrière lors d'une action de freinage Far pression sur la pédale de frein. According to a first embodiment, in foggy weather, rear fog lights on, the means consists in flashing the rear fog signaling during a braking action. Far pressure on the brake pedal.
Selon une variante par temps de brouillard feux de brouillard ar rière allumes, le moyen consiste de faire clignoter la signalisation stop et les feux de brouillard arrière de manière simultanée lors d'une action de freinage par pression sur la pédale de frein. Le clignotement des feux de brouillard arrière, avant de revenir à un eclai- rage continu, se maintient pendant une durée déterminée de quelques secondes, après le relachement de la pédale de frein. According to a variant in fog weather, rear fog lights on, the means consists in flashing the stop signaling and the rear fog lights simultaneously during a braking action by pressing the brake pedal. The flashing of the rear fog lights, before returning to continuous lighting, is maintained for a fixed period of a few seconds, after releasing the brake pedal.
La figure 1 représente le dispositif électrique et électronique selon l'invention. Figure 1 shows the electrical and electronic device according to the invention.
La figure 2 représente une variante de ce dispositif. Figure 2 shows a variant of this device.
Le dipositif représenté sur la figure 1 comporte un circuit intégré clignoteur (2), un relais électromagnétique avec un contact F (3), une borne (4) connecte au commutateur du circuit lampes feux de brouillard arrière, une borne (5) connectée aux lampes feux de brouillard ar rière (10), une borne (6) alimentation de commande de thyristor connectée au circuit au circuit lampes feux stop et des composants électroniques. The device represented in FIG. 1 comprises an integrated flashing circuit (2), an electromagnetic relay with an F contact (3), a terminal (4) connects to the switch of the rear fog lamp circuit, a terminal (5) connected to the rear fog lamp lamps (10), one terminal (6) thyristor control supply connected to the circuit to the brake lamp circuit and electronic components.
En circulation par temps de brouillard, commutateur de feux de brouillard arrière allumé le courant est établi sur le circuit intégré qui est passant la bobine du relais est excitée, le contact se ferme et la signalisation feux de brouillard arrière émet un éclairage continu. In circulation in foggy weather, rear fog lamp switch on, current is established on the integrated circuit which is passing the relay coil is energized, the contact closes and the rear fog lamp signaling emits continuous lighting.
Lors d'une pression sur la pédale de frein la signalisation stop s"é- claire, la commande du thyristor est excitée et autorise la fonction clignotante du circuit intégré les feux de brouillard arrière clignotent, ltéclairage des feux de brouillard arrière redevient fixe après le relachement de la pédale de frein, le circuit intégré est redevenu passant et non clignotant.When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light comes on, the thyristor control is energized and authorizes the flashing function of the integrated circuit the rear fog lights flash, the rear fog light becomes fixed again after release of the brake pedal, the integrated circuit is back on and not flashing.
Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure 2 le dispositif comporte en outre un relais électromagnétique à contact 0 fermé au repos (9), une borne supplémentaire (12) reliée aux feux stop (11), un système de temporisation comportant un condensateur et deux diodes de commutation de circuit (13). La signalisation stop clignote simultanément avec les feux de brouillard arrière et ce lors d'une action de freinage du véhicule par pression sur la pédale de frein. Après relachement de la pédale de frein les feux de brouillard arrière maintiennent leurs clignotements pendant un temps déterminé de quelques secondes avant de revenir à un éclairage continu. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the device also comprises an electromagnetic relay with contact 0 closed at rest (9), an additional terminal (12) connected to the stop lights (11), a time delay system comprising a capacitor and two circuit switching diodes (13). The stop signal flashes simultaneously with the rear fog lights and this when the vehicle is braking by pressing the brake pedal. After releasing the brake pedal, the rear fog lights continue to flash for a determined time of a few seconds before returning to continuous lighting.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est destin à améliorer la sécurité routière lors de freinage sur route et auto-route. The device according to the invention is intended to improve road safety during braking on roads and motorways.
