The present invention relates to a light adjustable car threshold pedal which when a car door is opened/closed or a car engine is started or a lamp in the car is turned on/off, the two illumination portions of each light-emitting pedal assembly controls a power source and a light luminance, and the light controller is used to control the two illumination portions of each light-emitting pedal assembly so as to change the light luminance.
A conventional light emitting device for a car emits decorative light and illuminative light, wherein the decorative light emits from a first emitting element fixed on an invisible portion of the car so as to vary illumination, and the illuminative light illuminates from visible portions of the car so as to make the driver and passengers clearly view objects in the car.
For example, at least one light accessory is mounted on a floor or a door threshold of the car so as to vary illumination and/or to make the driver and passengers clearly view objects in the car.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a light adjustable car threshold pedal which when a car door is opened/closed or a car engine is started or a lamp in the car is turned on/off, two illumination portions of each light-emitting pedal assembly controls a power source and a light luminance.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a light adjustable car threshold pedal which also contains a light controller for controlling the two illumination portions of each light-emitting pedal assembly so as to change the light luminance.
To obtain the above objectives, a light adjustable car threshold pedal provided by the present invention contains: at least one light-emitting pedal assembly, a controlling unit, and an input unit.
Each includes a body, a first light penetrating element disposed on the body, a second light penetrating element fixed on the body, a first illuminating element for emitting lights to the first light penetrating element, and a second illuminating element for emitting lights to the second light penetrating element.
The controlling unit is electrically connected with the first illuminating element and the second illuminating element so as to turn on/off the first illuminating element and the second illuminating element and to control luminance of the first illuminating element and the second illuminating element.
The input unit is electrically connected with the controlling unit so as to control a varying illumination of the first illuminating element and the second illuminating element.
Preferably, the first light penetrating element has a light transmitting shell and a light reflecting plate coupling with the light transmitting shell.
Preferably, the first illuminating element is a lighting panel comprised of a plurality of light-emitting diodes.
Preferably, the first illuminating element is a lighting panel comprised of a plurality of bulbs.
Preferably, the second light penetrating element is a strapped light transmitting plate.
Preferably, the second light penetrating element having a light guiding bar coupled with a second illuminating element.
Preferably, the second illuminating element is selected from the group consisting of a light-emitting diode and a bulb.
Preferably, the light adjustable car threshold pedal further comprising a light controller electrically connected with the controlling unit so as to adjust a varying illumination of the first illuminating element and the second illuminating element.
Preferably, the light controller is wirely connected with the controlling unit.
Preferably, the light controller is a remote control.
Preferably, the light controller includes a touch panel.
The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Each light-emitting pedal assembly 11 includes a body 111, a first light penetrating element 112 disposed on the body 111, a second light penetrating element 113 fixed on the body 111, a first illuminating element 114 for emitting lights to the first light penetrating element 112, and a second illuminating element 115 for emitting lights to the second light penetrating element 113, wherein the body 111 has a first receiving hole 116 for fixing the first light penetrating element 112 and has a second receiving hole 117 for fixing the second light penetrating element 113, such that each light-emitting pedal assembly 11 obtains two illumination portions. In addition, the body 111 also has a decoration piece 118 mounted thereon, and the decoration piece 118 is made of metal material, plastic material or composite material of metal and plastic.
The controlling unit 12 is electrically connected with the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115 so as to turn on/off the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115 and to control luminance of the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115.
The input unit 13 is electrically connected with the controlling unit 12 so as to control a varying illumination of the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115.
Also, the light controller 14 is electrically connected with the controlling unit 12 so as to adjust the varying illumination of the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115, wherein the light controller 14 is wirely connected with the controlling unit 12 or the light controller 14 is a remote control and includes a touch panel 141.
Referring further to
Thereby, the two illumination portions of each light-emitting pedal assembly 11 are capable of turning on/off the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115 and controlling the luminance of the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115 by means of the input unit 13. It is to be noted that the input unit 13 is an interior control system of a car, so when a car door is opened/closed or a car engine is started or a lamp in the car is turned on/off, the two illumination portions control a power source and a light luminance. Furthermore, the light controller 14 is used to control the two illumination portions of the each light-emitting pedal assembly 11 so as to change the light luminance.
In other words, when the input unit 13 operates to open/close the car door or to start the car engine or to turn on/off the light in the car or when the light controller 14 operates, the first illuminating element 114 and the second illuminating element 115 are controlled by the input unit 13 to turn on/off the lamp of the car or to change the light luminance, and the light penetrates through the first light penetrating element 112 and the second light penetrating element 113 to illuminate the car.
After the car door is closed or the car engine is started or the lamp in the car is turned off, the controlling unit 12 controls the first illuminating element 114 to power off, and the second illuminating element 115 still emits light, such that the each of the four light-emitting pedal assemblies 11 keeps the decorative light from the second light penetrating element 113 (as illustrated in
However,
Also, a driver is capable of controlling the varying illumination of the two illumination portions of the at least one light-emitting pedal assemblies 11 based on using requirement by using the light controller 14.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
