Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, at least the inventors of the present invention have not found that the method of using such laser light to provide guidance and display in bad weather such as snowstorms is practical.
According to the study of the present inventors, it is found that when the laser beam is irradiated from the laser irradiation device to the boundary of the road, since the light output of the laser beam is small and the laser beam is thin, sufficient visibility cannot be obtained in bad weather such as a snowstorm, and the laser beam The color of the light is limited, and there is a problem that the freedom of color selection is small, such as that the color with good visibility cannot be selected.
[0007] If you want to use lasers to obtain discernible light even in bad weather, the laser device becomes huge and expensive
So, juxtaposing the arrow symbol on the road is essentially very difficult
[0008] Also, since this laser irradiation device is used outdoors, it may be seen by people
At this time, there is a danger of damage to the eyes due to the laser light

Embodiment 1

[0132] Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 to Figure 5 Representing the first embodiment, Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the use state of the road guidance display device, and Fig. 2 is a structural diagram of the road guidance display device, image 3 It is an explanatory diagram of the state of use of the road guidance display device installed at regular intervals on the road, Figure 4 It is a graph showing the light distribution of the road guidance display device, Figure 5 It is an explanatory diagram showing the vertical angle of 90° and the vertical angle of 80° of the road guidance display device.

[0133] As shown in FIG. 2, the road guidance display device 11 includes a housing 13 having a light projection opening 12 for projecting light toward one end in the direction of the optical axis. In the housing 13, a light source such as a metal halide lamp is accommodated. , a halogen lamp, a lam...

Embodiment 2

[0161] Additionally, if Image 6 As shown in the second embodiment of , by bending the reflective part 32a from the edge of the arrow-shaped symbol part on the lower end side of the arrow-shaped mark 32 toward the surface side on which the light 22 is irradiated, the reflection reflected by the reflective part 32a Irradiating the surface of the arrow-shaped mark 32 with light can make the arrow-shaped mark 32 brighter and further improve its visibility.

[0162] In addition, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the projection direction of the light 22 of the road guidance display device 11 is controlled by the control unit 23 to switch and move between the direction of the road surface 27a and the direction of the arrow-shaped mark 32 according to the time zone or the like. . For example, by projecting the light 22 of the road guidance display device 11 on the road surface 27a under normal circumstances, and in the late night time period when there is little ...

Embodiment 3

[0164] The third embodiment is as Figure 7 As shown, the arrow-shaped logo 32 has a long base 34 and a slightly triangular arrow-shaped symbol 35 connected to the lower end of the base 34 along the up-down direction. These bases 34 and arrow-shaped symbol 35 are bent to form a The central part of the surface opposite to the surface on which it is installed is a convex convex surface.

[0165] On the surface of the base portion 34 mounted on the light projecting portion 21, a rail 37 having a groove portion 36 with a slightly grooved cross-section is installed in the up-down direction, and the groove portion 36 of the rail 37 is slidably engaged and fixed. The fastening device 38 including bolts or the like provided at two positions above and below the side surface of the light projecting part 21 can adjust the position of the arrow-shaped mark 32 in the vertical direction of the light projecting part 21 .

[0166] A bracket 39 for mounting on the pillar 31 is attached to the...

Abstract

A road indication device is provided. The road-guidance indicating device has a light projection unit including light control means for controlling a lamp and light emitted from the lamp. The light projection unit project a light whose peak luminosity is 30000 cd or more, i.e., the light has a luminosity equal to or larger than a peak luminosity of a headlight of a car running on the road. Since a light pillar of light having a high light output and a thick light pillar is projected from the light projection unit, the visuality of the light pillar is improved even in the bad weather and the boundary between the driveway and the shoulder on the road can be affirmatively guided and indicated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a road guidance display device that guides and displays a position on a road, etc. with light. Background technique [0002] In the conventional technology, street lamps for normal road lighting are lit according to the surrounding brightness and illuminate a certain range of the road. Light curtains for snow that is falling, sometimes have a disabling glare. [0003] Moreover, in snowy areas, etc., sometimes snow covers the boundary between roads and road cliffs, and the boundary cannot be distinguished. Therefore, a so-called arrow-shaped mark is placed downward for guidance and display corresponding to the upper position of the road boundary, so that A driver of a vehicle can drive while confirming the boundary of the road by using the arrow-shaped marks provided at regular intervals along the road. However, in bad weather such as a snowstorm, the recognition of the arrow symbol is reduced, and it cannot play a suf...
