Specific details for implementing the invention

[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached exemplary drawings.

[0015] FIGS. 2 to 9 illustrate a safety guide light according to the present invention, comprising: a main body (10) made of a transparent synthetic resin material, having a concave groove (11) formed on the lower side that is concave toward the upper side and a through hole (12) formed on the front and rear sides that extends in the front and rear directions and is connected to the concave groove (11); an LED lamp (21) coupled to the through hole (12) so as to protrude to the outside of the main body (10); a light intensity measuring sensor (22) provided on one side of the main body (10) for measuring ambient light intensity; a solar panel (23) provided inside the concave groove (11); a rechargeable battery (24) for storing electricity output from the solar panel (23); and a control means (25) for receiving a signal from the light intensity measuring sensor (22) and controlling the operation of the LED lamp (21), wherein a filler material (26) made of a transparent synthetic resin material is formed inside the concave groove (11). It is filled.

[0016] The above main body (10) is configured in the shape of a low-height square block, and the front and rear sides are configured to slope downward toward the outside, that is, toward the front and rear, and a stepped portion (13) having a vertical portion (13a) and a horizontal portion (13b) is formed concavely downward on the front and rear sides.

[0017] The above-mentioned stepped portion (13) is formed to face forward and backward at the corner portion of the main body (10).

[0018] The above through hole (12) is formed at a position as close as possible to both sides of the main body (10) so that its outer end is open to the vertical portion (13a) of the stepped portion (13).

[0019] At this time, the concave groove (11) is provided with a plurality of support pins (14) extending downward.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the LED lamp (21) is configured in a cylindrical shape and is inserted so as to protrude from the inside to the outside of the through hole (12), and is configured to irradiate light to the front and rear of the main body (10) when turned on.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the light intensity measuring sensor (22) is provided on one side of the upper surface of the control means (25).

[0022] The above solar panel (23) is configured in the shape of a square plate and is designed to generate power when sunlight is irradiated. The above solar panel (23) is fixed to the inner upper surface of the concave groove (11) by means of a transparent acrylic tape (23a) attached to the upper surface.

[0023] The above rechargeable battery (24) uses a standard lithium polymer battery.

[0024] The above control means (25) is configured in a physical form in which a semiconductor is mounted on a general PCB and is coupled to the lower end of a support pin (14) provided in the concave groove (11).

[0025] At this time, the control means (25) controls the charging state in which electricity generated from the solar panel (23) is stored in the battery (24), and when the light intensity measured by the light intensity measuring sensor (22) is lower than a preset reference value, the LED lamp (21) is turned ON using the electricity stored in the battery (24).

[0026] The above filler (26) uses a general epoxy resin.

[0027] Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 8, when the main body (10) is inverted in the vertical direction, an LED lamp (21), a solar panel (23), a battery (24), and a control means (25) are placed in the concave groove (11) of the main body (10), and then a filling material (26) is filled and cured in the concave groove (11). This allows the LED lamp (21), the solar panel (23), the battery (24), and the control means (25) to be firmly and watertightly fixed inside the concave groove (11), thereby completing the production of the safety guide light.

[0028] At this time, the safety guide lights produced in this manner can be installed on roads as in the past, or in various locations including fences on both sides or in the center of the road.

[0029] In addition, when installing the above-mentioned safety guide lights, various methods such as using fixing bolts, adhesives, or snap-fit ​​connections can be used.

[0030] The safety guide light configured in this manner has the advantage that when the LED lamp (21) is inserted into the through hole (12) formed to extend in the front-rear direction of the main body (10) and turned on, it emits light in the front-rear direction of the main body (10), thereby allowing the driver of the vehicle to easily recognize the safety guide light.

[0031] In particular, the front and rear surfaces of the main body (10) are configured to slope downward outward, and a stepped portion (13) having a vertical portion (13a) and a horizontal portion (13b) is formed concavely downward on the front and rear surfaces of the main body (10). The through hole (12) is configured so that its outer end is open to the vertical portion (13a) of the stepped portion (13), so that the end of the LED lamp (21) coupled to the through hole (12) is located inside the stepped portion (13). This provides the advantage that when a vehicle traveling on the road runs over the safety guide light, the LED lamp (21) is protected by the stepped portion (13).

[0032] In addition, a transparent synthetic resin filler (26) for fixing an LED lamp (21), a solar panel (23), a battery (24), and a control means (25) is filled into the concave groove (11) of the main body (10), thereby fixing the LED lamp (21), the solar panel (23), the battery (24), and the control means (25) firmly and watertightly in the concave groove (11) of the main body (10), which has the advantage of improving durability.

[0033] And, the solar panel (23) is fixed to the inner upper surface of the concave surface by means of a transparent acrylic tape (23a) attached to the upper surface, so that no gap is created between the main body (10) and the solar panel (23).

[0034] Therefore, there is an advantage in that a gap is created between the main body (10) and the solar panel (23), thereby preventing condensation from forming on the upper surface of the solar panel (23).

[0035] FIGS. 10 and FIGS. 11 illustrate another embodiment according to the present invention, wherein a proximity sensor (27) for detecting a vehicle passing over the top of the main body (10) is provided on one side of the main body (10).

[0036] The above proximity sensor (27) is fitted into a coupling groove (15) formed on the upper surface of the main body (10) and emits ultrasonic waves to the surroundings to detect whether there is a vehicle passing around the safety guidance light (within a radius of 0.5m).

[0037] And, the control means (25) is configured to turn off the LED lamp (21) when the LED lamp (21) is turned on and the time at which a vehicle passing around the main body (10) is detected is longer than a preset reference time after receiving a signal from the proximity sensor (27).

[0038] That is, the safety guidance light according to the present invention is generally installed on quiet roads without streetlights, and in such cases, vehicles generally pass through at high speeds while maintaining a distance.

[0039] At this time, the fact that the vehicle is continuously detected by the proximity sensor (27) for longer than a preset standard time means that the road is congested and the distance between vehicles is very narrow, or that the vehicle is driving very slowly. In such cases, even if the LED lamp (21) is lit, it is not easily visible to the driver due to the vehicle's headlights.

[0040] Therefore, in this case, the control means (25) has the advantage of reducing the consumption of electricity stored in the rechargeable battery (24) and increasing the operating time of the LED lamp (21) by turning off the LED lamp (21). Explanation of the symbols
