Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a vehicle side marker light integrated control device, which can provide warnings to pedestrians and vehicles in the surrounding area during the vehicle's turning and cornering phases. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the installation of vehicle external lighting and light signal devices must comply with national standards. If a vehicle has three or more side marker lights that flash simultaneously with the turn signal lights on the same side, the following regulations do not apply: MMN and N category vehicles with a length greater than 6m and not exceeding 9m may optionally install one Category 5 auxiliary light; MM, N and N category vehicles with a length greater than 9m must have three Category 5 auxiliary lights installed on each side, and they should be evenly distributed on each side as much as possible; O3 and O4 category vehicles must have three Category 5 auxiliary lights installed on each side, and they should be evenly distributed on each side as much as possible.

[0003] As a result, since the side marker lights on vehicles already announced and those announced under the new regulations do not have a turn signal flashing function, when the vehicle has a long cargo box, they cannot provide corresponding warnings to pedestrians and vehicles in the surrounding area when turning, which can easily lead to accidents. Adopting a lighting system that integrates side marker lights and side turn signals requires changing the entire vehicle control and power supply wiring, expanding the lighting system model to the new or old announcement for filing, modifying the vehicle body mounting holes and molds, which is costly and not conducive to modularization and standardization.

[0004] Therefore, how to modularize and universally solve the problem of providing appropriate warnings to pedestrians and other vehicles when a vehicle turns is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes a vehicle side marker outline light integrated control device that can provide corresponding warnings to pedestrians and vehicles around the vehicle when the vehicle turns, and has good modularity and versatility.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is, The aforementioned integrated control device for vehicle side marker contour lights includes an ABS upper cover, an ABS rear cover, and a circuit board. The upper cover is recessed from one end face to form an accommodating space, with an opening at the rear end and a connection cable port on one side. The rear cover is snapped onto the rear opening of the upper cover to form a closed space. The circuit board is disposed within the accommodating space of the upper cover and is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply through the connection cable port. The circuit board has a data acquisition module, an IC driver module, a sawtooth wave module, a load module, and a signal module.

[0007] The vehicle side marker contour light integrated control device includes: the acquisition module is used to receive the DC24V high-potential signals from the left turn switch and right turn switch of the combination switch, convert them into signals that can be recognized by the IC driver module, and the signal output terminal is connected to the IC driver module.

[0008] The vehicle side marker contour light integrated control device includes an IC driver module that receives the signal output by the acquisition module, converts it into a drive signal, drives the load relay, and connects its output terminal to the sawtooth wave module and the signal module respectively.

[0009] The vehicle side marker contour light integrated control device includes: a sawtooth wave module that outputs a flashing frequency conforming to national standards through a flashing frequency driving circuit, and has two sets, including a first sawtooth wave module and a second sawtooth wave module; a load module that outputs voltage, current, and maximum power to meet load requirements, and has two sets, including a first load module and a second load module; the first load module is connected to the output terminal of the first sawtooth wave module, and the second load module is connected to the output terminal of the second sawtooth wave module.

[0010] The vehicle side marker contour light integrated control device includes: the signal module for receiving the combination switch position light signal, logically interlocking with the IC driver module, converting it into a relay control signal, and connecting the output terminal to the load module.

Beneficial effects

[0014] This invention presents a novel dual-function integrated control device for side marker lights. It directly controls the hard-wired signals via the position light switch and turn signal switch in a combination switch to drive the device, enabling the side marker lights to function as both side marker lights and side turn signals. This dual-function design simplifies customer selection, promotes product modularization, shortens product development cycles, and reduces manufacturing costs. For example, implementing new regulations typically requires using integrated side marker lights and side turn signals, modifying the vehicle's control and power supply wiring, expanding the light model to meet new or old regulatory requirements, and modifying vehicle mounting holes and molds—all of which are costly and hinder modularization and universalization. This invention offers universality, as it can be applied to all vehicles with side marker lights without modifying the hardware interface or software logic. Attached Figure Description
