The present invention is related to a rear approaching vehicle detecting and warning device, which is simple in structure, easy to assemble and low in cost, and the safety of riding can be improved, especially suitable for installation on various kinds of motorbike or electric scooters.
With the rise of international oil prices, motorbikes that are fuel-saving, environmentally friendly, energy-saving and carbon-reducing have always been popular goods due to the convenience of traversing between streets and their mobility. In addition, with the change in lifestyle, people pay more and more attention to leisure sports. The natural environment such as countryside and suburbs has become people's new favorite. It is also very common to use motorbikes as leisure vehicles or for off-road sports, etc.
The safety equipment of motorbikes is also constantly improved. For example, anti-lock brake system (ABS) installation and using disc brakes on both front and rear wheels keep improving the safety and practicability of motorbikes. The more common safety equipment, such as balance terminals with counterweight assembled on the ends of the handlebars, not only makes the motorbikes more stable, not easy to shake or assist in suppressing the front wheel shake, etc., but also increases the visual appearance and the grip feel. In addition, combining a handguard that can protect the hands of the rider on the handlebars, or installing a terminal mirror on the handlebars, etc., is also very common safety configurations on heavy motorcycles.
However, in the existing motorbike safety equipment, there is no such a car-like design such as blind spot detection for detecting a vehicle approaching from behind. Although there is the structure for viewing the rear, such as a pair of left and right rear mirrors or terminal mirrors, it does not have a mechanism to remind when a vehicle is approaching from behind. And the rear view range and the angle are very limited. Even when the rider judges that the rear object is approaching through the rear mirrors, it cannot fully reflect the actual approaching distance of the rear object. Hence, it often causes the rider to be too late to react, resulting in the danger of a collision. Therefore it needs to be improved.
Therefore, in order to solve the existing problems of how to provide a car-like warning effect when a vehicle approaches from behind has always been the research direction of the inventor.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a rear approaching vehicle detecting and warning device, which is simple in structure, easy to assemble and low in cost, and the safety of riding can be improved, especially suitable for installation on various kinds of motorbike or electric scooters.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a rear approaching vehicle detecting and warning device which comprises a detecting device, a signal processing module, and a riding safety component capable of being assembled on a pair of left and right handlebars of a motorbike. The detecting device is installed at an appropriate position behind a body of the motorbike. The detecting device is provided with at least a sensing module, a control circuit, and a signal transmitting module, wherein when the sensing module senses a vehicle approaching around, the sensing module generates a detection signal. The signal transmitting module receives the detection signal through the control circuit and then transmits the detection signal. The signal processing module is used for receiving and processing the detection signal transmitted by the signal transmitting module to generate a warning signal. The riding safety component is provided with a light module. The riding safety component is electrically connected to the signal processing module. The riding safety component is used for receiving the warning signal to display on the light module.
In implementation, the signal processing module is buried in the pair of left and right handlebars of the motorbike.
In implementation, the riding safety component capable of being assembled on the pair of left and right handlebars of the motorbike is a balance terminal, a terminal mirror, or a handguard.
In implementation, the detecting device and the signal processing module are connected to a power supply module, respectively.
For further understanding the characteristics and effects of the present invention, some preferred embodiments referred to drawings are in detail described as follows.
Please refer to
The detecting device 11 is installed at an appropriate position behind a body of the motorbike 2. The detecting device 11 is provided with at least a sensing module 111, a control circuit 112, and a signal transmitting module 113, wherein when the sensing module 111 senses a vehicle approaching around, the sensing module 111 generates a detection signal. The signal transmitting module 113 receives the detection signal through the control circuit 112 and then transmits the detection signal.
The signal processing module 12 is used for receiving the detection signal transmitted by the signal transmitting module 113 to generate a warning signal. In implementation, the signal processing module 12 is capable of being assembled and hidden in the pair of left and right handlebars 21 of the motorbike 2.
The riding safety component 13 is provided with a light module 131. The riding safety component 13 is electrically connected to the signal processing module 12. The riding safety component 13 is used for receiving the warning signal to display on the light module 131. The riding safety component 13 capable of being assembled on the pair of left and right handlebars 21 of the motorbike 2 may be a balance terminal 132, a terminal mirror 133, or a handguard 134 (as shown in
In implementation, the detecting device 11 and the light module 131 are connected to a power supply module 14, respectively. The power supply module 14 may be a battery module or a circuit device connected to a mobile power supply. The detecting device 11 may be installed at the position under the seat cushion, on the shelf behind the body of the motorbike 2, on the license plate or other convenient position (as shown in
Hence, taking an example that the riding safety component 13 is a balance terminal 132 (as shown in
While taking an example that the riding safety component 13 is a terminal mirror 133 (as shown in
Similarly, taking an example that the riding safety component 13 is a handguard 134 (as shown in
Thereby, the design of the present invention has following advantages:
As disclosed in the above description and attached drawings, the present invention can provide a rear approaching vehicle detecting and warning device. It is new and can be put into industrial use.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, many modifications and variations may be made by those skilled in the art from the teachings disclosed hereinabove. Therefore, it should be understood that any modification and variation equivalent to the spirit of the present invention be regarded to fall into the scope defined by the appended claims.
