본 발명은 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 방향지시레버에 의해 차량의 회전이 지시되면 조향핸들의 회전각을 검출하여 그 회전각에 대응하여 전조등의 각도를 회전시켜 전방시계를 충분하게 확보하도록 된 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a steering angle adaptive headlight control device, and more particularly, when the rotation of the vehicle is instructed by the direction indication lever, the steering wheel detects the rotation angle of the steering wheel and rotates the headlight angle corresponding to the rotation angle. The present invention relates to a steering angle adaptive headlight control device configured to sufficiently secure the engine.

일반적으로, 전체의 차량에는 야간운전시에 운전자가 전방의 시계를 확보하기 위한 수단으로서 전조등이 구비되는 바, 그 전조등은 통상적으로 차체의 전단부분에 고정된 상태로 제공된다.In general, the whole vehicle is provided with a headlight as a means for securing a watch in front of the driver when driving at night, the headlight is usually provided fixed to the front end of the vehicle body.

따라서, 차량이 직선도로를 운행하는 경우에는 그 고정식의 전조등에서 방사되는 광비임이 적절하게 전방의 시계를 확보하도록 작용하게 되지만, 예컨대 차량이 굽은 도로를 운행하거나 차선의 변경 또는 좌회전 또는 우회전하는 경우에도 차량의 조향각은 직선방향에 대해 좌측 또는 우측으로 치우치게 되어도 전조등에서 조사되는 광비임은 운전자가 관찰해야하는 회전방향을 적절하게 조명해주지 못하게 된다.Therefore, when the vehicle is driving on a straight road, the light beam emitted from the fixed headlamp serves to secure the clock in front of the vehicle properly. Even if the steering angle of the vehicle is biased to the left or right with respect to the straight direction, the light beam irradiated from the headlamp does not adequately illuminate the direction of rotation that the driver should observe.

그러한 이유에서, 차량이 직선주행상태에서 일정한 정도 이상의 각도로 조향되는 경우에는 운전자가 고정된 조명을 행하는 전조등에 의해서는 차량이 회전되는 방향의 전방시계의 확보 곤란하게 된다.For that reason, when the vehicle is steered at an angle of a certain degree or more in a linear driving state, it is difficult to secure the front clock in the direction in which the vehicle is rotated by the headlamps where the driver performs fixed illumination.

본 발명은 상기한 사정을 감안하여 이루어진 것으로, 방향지시레버가 조작된 상태에서 핸들의 조향각을 인코딩수단에 의해 검출하여 그 검출된 조향각이 기준치 이상으로 검출되면 그 조향각을 기초로 전조등의 조명각을 차량의 회전방향에 적응적으로 제어해서 운전자의 시계확보에 용이함을 도모하도록 된 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치를 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances. When the steering angle of the steering wheel is detected by the encoding means while the direction indicating lever is operated, and the detected steering angle is detected above the reference value, the illumination angle of the headlamp is determined based on the steering angle. It is an object of the present invention to provide a steering angle adaptive headlight control device that is adapted to control the rotation direction of the vehicle to facilitate the driver's field of view.

상기한 목적을 달성하기 위해, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따르면 핸들에 의해 조향각이 설정됨과 더불어 전조등을 갖추어 전방의 시계확보가 가능한 차량에 있어서, 진행방향의 변경을 지시하는 방향지시레버와, 조향축의 주변에 설치된 구동기어와 그 구동기어에 종동되는 종동기어 및 그 종동기어의 회전각을 조향각으로 인코딩하는 인코더를 갖춘 조향각검출수단과, 그 조향각검출수단에서 검출된 조향각을 기준치와 비교하여 그 조향각이 기준치 이상이면 그 조향각을 연산하여 전조등의 제어치를 산출하는 연산수단 및, 상기 연산수단에서 연산된 전조등의 제어치를 기초로 전조등의 각도를 조절하는 전조등각도조절수단을 갖추어 구성되고, 그 전조등각도조절수단은 상기 전조등의 후단에 설치된 섹터기어와 상기 전조등의 조명각도를 조절하기 위한 스텝핑모터, 그 스텝핑모터의 회전각을 상기 섹터기어에 전달하는 피니언기어 및, 상기 전조등 하우징의 회동을 지지하는 회동지지부재를 갖추어 구성된 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치가 제공된다.In order to achieve the above object, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the steering angle is set by the steering wheel, the headlight is provided in the vehicle capable of securing the front of the clock, the direction indicating lever for indicating a change in the direction of travel, and steering Steering angle detection means having a drive gear installed around the shaft, a driven gear driven to the drive gear and an encoder for encoding the rotation angle of the driven gear into a steering angle, and a steering angle detected by the steering angle detecting means by comparing the steering angle with a reference value. If the reference value is higher than the reference value, the steering angle is calculated to calculate the control value of the headlight, and the headlight angle control means for adjusting the angle of the headlight based on the control value of the headlight calculated by the calculating means, the headlight angle control The means adjusts the illumination angle of the headlight and the sector gear installed at the rear end of the headlight. There is provided a steering angle adaptive headlamp control device including a stepping motor for transmitting a pinion gear for transmitting a rotation angle of the stepping motor to the sector gear, and a rotation support member for supporting rotation of the headlamp housing.

상기한 구성의 본 발명에 따른 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치에 의하면, 방향지시레버에 의해 차량의 진행방향변경이 표시되는 상태에서 핸들의 조향축 주변에 형성된 구동기어와 종도기어에 의한 조향각이 인코더에 의해 검출되면, 그 조향각을 기준치와 비교하여 그 조향각이 기준치 이상이면 그 조향각을 기초로 연산수단이 전조등의 회전각을 연산하여 전조등각도조절수단의 스텝핑모터를 회전제어하게 되고, 그 스텝핑모터의 회전각에 대응하여 피니언기어와 섹터기어에 의해 전조등이 상기 차량의 회전방향으로 회동하여 조명하게 되므로, 차량의 회전진행방향에 대한 전방시계의 확보가 용이하게 된다.According to the steering angle adaptive headlight control device according to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the steering angle formed by the drive gear and the longitudinal gear formed around the steering shaft of the steering wheel in the state in which the direction change of the vehicle is indicated by the direction indicating lever is applied to the encoder. When detected by the steering angle is compared with the reference value and the steering angle is equal to or greater than the reference value, the calculating means calculates the rotation angle of the headlamps based on the steering angle to control the rotation of the stepping motor of the headlight angle control means, the rotation of the stepping motor Since the headlight rotates in the rotational direction of the vehicle by the pinion gear and the sector gear in correspondence to the angle, it is easy to secure the forward clock in the rotational direction of the vehicle.

이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 대해 첨부도면을 참조하여 상세하게 설명한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

제 1도는 본 발명에 따른 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치의 블럭구성을 나타낸 도면으로, 참조부호 10은 해당하는 차량의 진행방행을 우회전/좌회전 형태로 표시하기 위한 방향지시레버를 나타내고, 20은 핸들의 조향각을 검출하는 조향각검출부로서, 그 조향각검출부(20)는 제 2도에 예시된 바와 같이, 핸들(21)의 조향축(22)의 주변에 형성된 종동기어(23)와 그 종동기어(23)에 치합되어 종동구동되는 종동기어(24) 및, 그 종동기어(24)의 회전방향 및 회전량을 기초로 차량의 조향각을 인코딩검출하는 인코더(25)를 갖추어 구성된다.1 is a block diagram of a steering angle adaptive headlight control device according to the present invention. Reference numeral 10 denotes a direction indicating lever for displaying a traveling direction of a corresponding vehicle in a right turn / left turn direction, and 20 denotes a steering wheel. As a steering angle detection unit for detecting a steering angle, the steering angle detection unit 20 includes a driven gear 23 and a driven gear 23 formed around the steering shaft 22 of the handle 21, as illustrated in FIG. And an encoder 25 which encodes and detects a steering angle of the vehicle based on the rotational direction and the rotation amount of the driven gear 24 that are driven and driven by the driven gear.

또, 제 1도에서 30은 상기 조향검출부(20)의 인코더(25)에서 출력되는 차량의 조향각을 후술하는 전조등의 회전각으로 연산하는 연산부를 나타내는 바, 그 연산부(30)에는 상기 핸들(21)의 조향각의 조향정도를 비교하기 위한 기준치저장메모리(30a)가 구비되어 상기 핸들(21)의 조향각이 그 기준치를 초과하는 경우에 조향각 적응의 조명등각도제어를 위한 제어치를 산출하게 된다.In FIG. 1, 30 denotes a calculation unit for calculating a steering angle of the vehicle output from the encoder 25 of the steering detection unit 20 at a rotation angle of a headlamp, which will be described later. A reference value storage memory 30a for comparing the steering angles of the steering angles is provided to calculate a control value for illumination angle control of steering angle adaptation when the steering angle of the handle 21 exceeds the reference value.

40은 상기 연산부(30)에서 연산된 전조등의 회전각을 기초로 그 전조등을 회전구동하는 스텝핑모터(50)를 제어하는 전조등각도조절부를 나타내는 바, 그 전조등각도조절부(40)는 제 3도에 예시된 바와 같이 상기 스텝핑모터(50)의 축에 결합된 피니언기어(51)와 그 피니언기어(51)에 치합되면서 전조등(52)의 후단에 형성된 반구형상의 섹터기어(53), 상기 전조등(52)의 회동을 지지하는 회동지지부재(54)를 갖추어 구성된다.40 shows the headlight angle control unit for controlling the stepping motor 50 for rotating the headlight based on the rotation angle of the headlight calculated by the calculating unit 30, the headlight angle control unit 40 is a third degree As illustrated in FIG. 2, a hemispherical sector gear 53 formed at a rear end of the headlamp 52 while being engaged with the pinion gear 51 and the pinion gear 51 coupled to the shaft of the stepping motor 50, the headlamp ( 52 is provided with the rotation support member 54 which supports the rotation of 52. As shown in FIG.

이어, 상기한 구성의 본 발명에 따른 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치의 동작에 대해 상세하게 설명한다.Next, the operation of the steering angle adaptive headlight control device according to the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.

먼저, 상기 방향지시레버(10)에 의해 차량의 진행방향이 우회전/좌회전으로 지시되면 상기 연산부(30)는 조명등(52)의 회전방향을 결정하게 되고, 그 상태에서 상기 핸들(21)이 좌측 또는 우측으로 일정한 각도 회전하게 되면 그 핸들(21)의 조향축(22)상에 형성된 종동기어(23)가 상기 핸들(21)의 회전방향으로 회전하게 된다. 상기 종동기어(23)의 회동에 의해 종동기어(24)도 역방향으로 회전하게 되고, 그 종동기어(24)의 회전량이 상기 인코더(25)에 의해 검출되어 상기 연산부(30)에 인가된다.First, when the driving direction of the vehicle is instructed to turn right / left by the direction indicating lever 10, the operation unit 30 determines the rotation direction of the lamp 52, and in this state, the handle 21 is left. Alternatively, when rotated to the right by a predetermined angle, the driven gear 23 formed on the steering shaft 22 of the handle 21 rotates in the rotation direction of the handle 21. As the driven gear 23 rotates, the driven gear 24 also rotates in the reverse direction, and the amount of rotation of the driven gear 24 is detected by the encoder 25 and applied to the calculation unit 30.

따라서, 상기 연산부(30)에서는 상기 인코더(25)에서 제공되는 핸들(21)의 조향각을 상기 기준치저장메모리(30a; 대략 45도의 회전각에 대한 기준치)에 저장된 기준치와 비교하여 그 기준치 이상으로 검출되는 경우 상기 인코더(25)에서 검출된 조향각을 상기 전조등(52)의 회전각으로 연산하여 그 회전각을 상기 전조등각도조절부(40)에 인가하게 된다.Accordingly, the operation unit 30 detects the steering angle of the handle 21 provided by the encoder 25 with the reference value stored in the reference value storage memory 30a (the reference value for the rotation angle of approximately 45 degrees) and detects the reference value or more. When the steering angle detected by the encoder 25 is calculated as the rotation angle of the headlight 52 to apply the rotation angle to the headlight angle control unit 40.

그러면, 상기 전조등각도조절부(40)에서는 상기 연산부(30)에서 인가되는 전조등(52)의 회전각에 기초하여 상기 스텝핑모터(50)를 회동시키게 되고, 그 스텝핑모터(50)의 회동에 의해 상기 피니언기어(51)가 섹터기어(53)를 차량의 회전방향(즉, 상기 핸들(21)의 회전방향)을 따라 이동시키게 된다. 따라서, 상기 섹터기어(53)에 결합된 전조등(52)이 상기 회동지지부재(54)의 지원하에 차량의 회전진행방향으로 회동되어 그 전방의 조명을 실행하게 된다.Then, the headlight angle control unit 40 rotates the stepping motor 50 based on the rotation angle of the headlamp 52 applied from the calculating unit 30, and by the rotation of the stepping motor 50. The pinion gear 51 moves the sector gear 53 along the direction of rotation of the vehicle (that is, the direction of rotation of the handle 21). Accordingly, the headlamp 52 coupled to the sector gear 53 is rotated in the direction of rotation of the vehicle with the support of the pivot support member 54 to perform illumination in front of the vehicle.

한편, 이상에서는 방향지시레버(10)가 조작되는 상태에서 차량의 조향각을 검출하여 전조등을 제어하게 되지만, 예컨대 굽은 도로상을 주행하는 상태에서는 조향각이 변화되게 되면 상기 방향지시레버(10)의 비작동시에도 상기 조향각검출부(20)에서 검출되는 조향각이 상기 기준치저장메모리(30a)에 저장된 기준치 이상으로 되면 상기한 전조등(52)의 회전이 제어되게 됨은 물론이다.On the other hand, the headlight is controlled by detecting the steering angle of the vehicle in the state in which the direction indicating lever 10 is operated, but, for example, when the steering angle is changed in the state of driving on a curved road, the ratio of the direction indicating lever 10 is changed. Even during operation, when the steering angle detected by the steering angle detector 20 is greater than or equal to the reference value stored in the reference value storage memory 30a, the rotation of the headlamp 52 is of course controlled.

상기한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 조향각 적응형 전조등제어장치에 의하면, 방향지시레버에 의해 방향지시가 이루어진 상태에서 핸들의 조향각을 검출하여 전조등의 회전각으로 연산하여 차량의 회전방향에 대해 전조등을 회전시켜 운전자가 차량의 진행방향에 대한 전방의 시계확보가 훨씬 용이하게 된다.As described above, according to the steering angle adaptive headlight control apparatus according to the present invention, the steering angle of the steering wheel is detected by the direction indicating lever to calculate the steering angle of the steering wheel to calculate the rotation angle of the headlight, and thus the headlight is controlled with respect to the rotational direction of the vehicle.
