As shown in Figures 2 to 6, the direction indicating system that can guide the driving direction of the bicycle 100 without manipulation according to the present invention includes a frame 130, a handle 110, and a braking unit for stopping the wheels. A bicycle 100 including (120), a taillight 200 formed on the rear of the frame 130 and providing information to check the driving state of the bicycle 100 from the rear, and a taillight 200 to be worn on the driver's head. It is formed so as to be connected wirelessly to the tail light 200 and is characterized by including a helmet 300 that remotely operates the tail light 200 according to the driver's actions.

In addition, the helmet 300 is equipped with an IMU sensor 310 including an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, and a magnetic field sensor to detect the driver's nodding motion in the roll, yaw, and pitch directions. And the tail light 200 is characterized in that the information output is formed differently depending on the detection direction of the helmet 300.

In addition, the tail light 200 is formed on the left and right sides respectively to change the driving direction of the bicycle 100, and the turn signal lamp 220 blinks to generate a signal, and after detecting the driving speed of the bicycle 100, the speed is reduced. It is characterized by a deceleration light (230) that lights up when the vehicle is decelerating so that the presence or absence of deceleration can be confirmed from the rear.

The bicycle 100 is designed to be moved by pedaling two wheels formed at the front and rear of the frame 130, and a handle 110 is formed at the front of the frame 130 so that the rider can use the handle. It is formed so that the direction can be controlled by holding (110).

At this time, the handle 110 is provided with a lever 121 for driving the braking unit 120 formed to stop the wheel, and the strength of contact between the braking unit 120 and the wheel is high according to the pressing force of the lever 121. As the speed decreases, the speed of the bicycle 100 can be reduced and stopped.

Since details regarding the bicycle 100 are general, they will be omitted.

The tail light 200 is mounted on the rear of the frame 130 of the bicycle 100 to guide people or means of transportation riding from behind to the current location of the bicycle 100 and to indicate the direction of rotation when the bicycle 100 turns left or right. You can transmit a signal by blinking.

Here, the means of transportation refers to passenger cars, two-wheeled vehicles, kickboards, and other vehicles that can be ridden.

The tail light 200 has a housing 210 formed so that it can be attached to the frame 130, and a turn signal light 220 having a left arrow and a right arrow is formed in the housing 210.

The turn signal light 220 blinks when changing the driving direction of the bicycle 100 and is used to guide the driving direction to people or means of transportation present behind the bicycle. The turn signal light 220 is turned on by the helmet 300. This will blink.

The helmet 300 is worn on the driver's head and is used to protect the head in the event of an accident or impact. The helmet 300 is wirelessly connected to the taillight 200 to exchange signals and is equipped with an IMU sensor. Since 310 is built in, it is possible to detect the direction in which the helmet 300 is rotated.

Here, the IMU sensor 310 is an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, and a geomagnetic field sensor formed as an integrated module, and the helmet worn on the head in the roll, yaw, and pitch directions in three-dimensional space (300) ) is used to detect which direction it has been rotated.

At this time, the acceleration sensor can measure movement inertia, the gyroscope can measure rotational inertia, and the geomagnetic field sensor can measure azimuth. Through this, when the driver nods left or right or up and down while wearing the helmet (300), the IMU sensor (310) ) can detect the direction in which the head was nodded.

Additionally, the IMU sensor 310 is preferably controlled to transmit a control signal to the tail light 200 based on the measured speed generated while the bicycle is traveling.

The tail light 200 determines that the detected direction and number of times match the set direction and number of times, and is controlled to operate the turn signal light 220 or deceleration light 230 according to the detected direction and number of times.

For example, the turn signal light 220 formed on the tail light 200 turns on when the driver nods to the left twice based on the front of the traveling direction of the bicycle 100 while wearing the helmet 300. If you make it blink and nod to the right twice, the right turn signal light 220 can be set to blink.

In addition, it is desirable to automatically turn off the turn signal light 220 after a set time, and if necessary, the turn signal light 220 and deceleration light 230 lit in the tail light 200 can be turned off by nodding the user's head. There will be.

Here, the turn signal light 220 or the deceleration light 230 can be turned on and off depending on the direction and number of nods, and it is desirable for the driver to be able to set these settings directly.

In addition, it is possible to measure the running speed of the bicycle 100 through the IMU sensor 310 formed on the helmet 300. When the measured running speed decreases, the deceleration light 230 formed on the tail light 200 turns on and the rear light 230 lights up. People or means of transportation present in the vehicle can check this and prevent a collision from occurring.

In this case, it is possible to prevent the inability to check whether the traveling speed of the bicycle 100 in front is reduced while riding the bicycle 100, and this allows the bicycle 100 or vehicle traveling in the rear to be in a decelerated state. It is possible to prevent collision accidents due to failure to check.

It is desirable that the deceleration light 230 automatically turns off when the traveling speed of the bicycle 100 increases again, and when the traveling speed continues to decrease and reaches a stopped state, the deceleration light 230 automatically turns off after a set time of 10 to 30 seconds. It is desirable to do this as much as possible.

Additionally, the deceleration light 230 may be configured to be linked with the lever 121 that drives the braking unit 120 and turn on according to the operation of the lever 121.

The helmet 300 and the tail light 200 can be connected wirelessly using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and various wireless communication means can be applied.

In addition, it further includes a terminal 400 for controlling the operation of the helmet 300 and the tail light 200, and the terminal 400 can set an action for operating the tail light 200. It is characterized by being able to adjust the sensitivity of the rotation direction detected by the helmet 300.

The terminal 400 is attached to the handle 110 or frame 130 of the bicycle 100 and records information such as the driving path, speed, time, and calories of the bicycle 100, and selects the target point to determine the driving route. It can be formed to provide guidance.

At this time, the terminal 400 is linked to the helmet 300 and the tail light 200 through wireless communication to control the operation of the helmet 300 and the tail light 200 and output the operating status of the tail light 200 through the display. It becomes possible.

In addition, the driver can set the conditions under which the taillight 200 will operate when turning it on or off by nodding, and accordingly, the driver can individually determine the direction and number of nods that he or she can most comfortably operate, depending on the signal type. You can set and save it.

Through this, the driver can easily remember the settings when controlling the taillight 200 by nodding after wearing the helmet 300 for the first time, and the operating status can be easily checked through the display of the terminal 400, enabling more stable operation. I do it.

In addition, the helmet 300 further includes a vibration motor 320 formed on the left and right sides of the interior to generate vibration, and the vibration motor 320 generates vibration according to the operating state of the tail light 200 so that the driver can use the tail light. It is characterized by being able to check the operating status of (200).

The vibration motor 320 is located in the left and right directions inside the helmet 300 and generates vibration near the driver's temple and is used to check whether the turn signal 220 is operating normally when the driver turns on the turn signal lamp 220 by nodding his head.

When either the left or right turn signal light 220 is turned on, the vibration motor 320 operates the vibration motor 320 in the lighted direction, allowing the driver to check the operating status through vibration, and the vibration time, pattern, and number of times. The user can check the lighting status of the turn signal lamp 220 by using one or more of the following.

At this time, when the turn signal light 220 is turned on and off, it is desirable to have one or more of the vibration time, pattern, and frequency formed differently so that the driver can distinguish whether the turn signal light 220 is turned on or off based on vibration alone.

In addition, when the bicycle 100 must be stopped urgently depending on the situation ahead or the driver's health condition, the turn signal lights 220 formed on the left and right sides are turned on simultaneously by nodding so that people or means of transportation approaching from the rear cannot recognize this. You can do it.

In addition, if necessary, bone conduction earphones may be provided in the helmet 300 so that the on and off state can be recognized by voice or sound, and a wirelessly connected terminal 400 formed separately from the helmet 300 , The operating status can also be recognized through the earset, earphone, or bone conduction earphone worn by the driver.

In addition, the tail light 200 further includes a rear sensor 240 that detects a person or means of transportation approaching from the rear of the bicycle 100 and outputs detection information to the user through the helmet 300.

The rear sensor 240 is formed in the housing 210 of the tail light 200 and detects a person or means of transportation approaching from the rear of the bicycle 100 and measures the approaching distance to predict a collision or change the driving direction or lane. It is used to inform the driver when a collision is expected.

When the turn signal 220 is turned on and a person or means of transportation is detected at the rear, the rear sensor 240 uses the vibration motor 320 of the helmet 300 to guide the person or means of transportation in which direction the person or means of transportation exists in the rear, left or right. I do it.

Additionally, for more accurate guidance, the information detected by the rear sensor 240 is output to the display of the terminal 400 to prevent accidents from occurring when the driver changes driving direction or lane.

If necessary, the rear sensor 240 may warn the driver through the vibration motor 320 of the helmet 300 or the terminal 400 when a person or means of transportation at the rear approaches within 1 m so that the driver can avoid it. do.

In addition, it is formed on the handle 110 to photograph and detect one or more of people, means of transportation, objects, and lanes existing in front, and turns on the tail light 200 by predicting lane changes according to the traveling speed of the bicycle 100. It is characterized in that it further includes a camera 500.

In addition, after measuring the distance to one or more of the people, means of transportation, and objects present in the front and formed on the handle 110, the running speed of the bicycle 100 and the measured distance are analyzed to determine if deceleration is necessary, the distance to one or more of the people, means of transportation, and objects present in the front is measured. It is characterized in that it further includes a front sensor 600 that operates the tail light 200 to reduce the speed of the person or means of transportation.

The camera 500 and front sensor 600 can be used by being mounted on the handle 110, and the measured information is designed to be linked with the terminal 400.

First, the camera 500 captures an image of the front, captures one or more of people, means of transportation, objects, and lanes, and then distinguishes between people, means of transportation, objects, and lanes in the captured image and detects them to interfere with driving ahead. The factors that become are determined and it is determined whether the traveling direction of the bicycle 100 along the lane is correct.

Based on the information captured by the camera 500, the terminal 400 sets the driving path of the bicycle 100 and guides the driver through the display to avoid people, means of transportation, and objects in front. do.

In addition, the camera 500 can recognize the lane and determine whether the driver is in the correct position in the lane in which he or she is driving, and when the driver deviates from the lane, a warning can be issued through the display and the vibration motor 320 of the helmet 300.

If necessary, when the handlebar 110 is rotated in a direction that deviates from the lane, the direction indicator light 220 of the tail light 200 may be automatically turned on by recognizing that the driving direction of the bicycle 100 has changed.

The front sensor 600 is used to prevent a collision while the bicycle 100 is riding by detecting the distance to one or more of people, means of transportation, and objects existing in front.

At this time, based on the information detected by the front sensor 600, if an obstacle exists in the driving path of the bicycle 100 or a speed reduction is necessary, the deceleration light 230 of the tail light 200 is turned on to prevent a rear collision from occurring. can be induced.

As described above, according to the turn signal system that can guide the driving direction of the bicycle without manipulation according to the present invention, it is possible to turn on the turn signal light without using hands, so that it is possible to deal with an accident in an emergency situation, and can respond to an accident in the front or rear.
