Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a car door opening warning device which can emit a warning flash through the side rearview mirror of the car before the driver or passenger in the car reaches out to open the car door. Background Art

[0002] In crowded streets, the act of exiting a car door often leads to unexpected collisions. Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and even cars cannot predict whether a car door will suddenly open while moving forward. This sudden opening of a door often leaves those behind unable to react, leading to collision injuries. Furthermore, the faster the vehicle behind, the greater the risk of injury.

[0003] However, existing car doors do not have any warning signals to alert people or vehicles outside when they open. People or vehicles on the road cannot predict which car on the roadside will suddenly open its door, which could lead to a collision risk. Therefore, the present invention addresses this situation and aims to provide an early warning to people or vehicles outside the car when a car door opens from the inside, so that those who receive the warning can slow down or avoid the car. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a car door opening warning device, which can provide an early warning function to people and vehicles around the car before the car door is about to be opened.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention is a car door opening warning device that can be installed on a vehicle such as a car A. When the car is equipped with the car door opening warning device provided by the present invention, before the driver or the passenger in the car extends a finger B to start the door opening member 21, a strong warning flash C will be emitted in advance through the side rearview mirror 1 of the car A to warn the surrounding pedestrians or vehicles that the door of this car is about to open, thereby achieving the function of car door opening warning and reducing the risk of collision.

[0027] Please also see Figures 3 to 5 As shown in the figure, the vehicle door opening warning device provided by the present invention mainly includes a warning module 3 and a detection module 4; the warning module 3 is installed on the side rearview mirror 1 on the outside of the vehicle, and the detection module 4 is installed in a door panel groove 2 installed with a door opening member 21. The door opening member 21 can be a door handle or a door opening start button.

[0028] The warning module 3 includes a light-emitting element 30 disposed inside or outside the mirror base housing 10 of the vehicle side rearview mirror 1, and a signal receiving element 33 electrically connected to the light-emitting element 30; the light-emitting element 30 and the signal receiving element 33 can be connected to a power supply inside the vehicle or to an external power supply via a power cord 32, and the power supply provides the required power.

[0029] In this embodiment, the light-emitting element 30 is an annular light ring disposed within the mirror base housing 10 of the side rearview mirror 1. The side rearview mirror 1 comprises a mirror base housing 10, within which is disposed a central partition 101, a movable mirror base 11, a control motor 12 coupled to the movable mirror base 11, and a rearview mirror 13 coupled to the movable mirror base 11. The control motor 12 is disposed behind the central partition 101 and passes through the central partition 101 to connect to the movable mirror base 11 disposed in front of the central partition 101, thereby controlling the angle adjustment of the movable mirror base 11 and the rearview mirror 13.

[0030] The warning module 3 provided in the present invention further includes a light-emitting element fixing base 31 for mounting the light-emitting element 30 and fixing it within the mirror base housing 10. The light-emitting element fixing base 31 has a plurality of fasteners 311, which can be fastened to the corresponding fastener holes 102 of the middle partition 101 through the plurality of fasteners 311. The light-emitting element fixing base 31 is made of a light-transmitting material so that the light generated by the light-emitting element 30 can be projected outward through the light-emitting element fixing base 31.

[0031] As shown in the figure, the light-emitting member 30 provided in this embodiment is an annular light ring provided in the mirror base housing 10 of the vehicle side rearview mirror 1. In this manner, the flash generated by the light-emitting member 30 is projected outward from the annular gap between the rearview lens 13 and the inner side wall 103 of the mirror base housing 10 to form a circular warning flash.

[0032] The detection module 4 is installed in the door panel groove 2 where the door opener 21 is installed to provide a detection function. The door panel groove 2 is provided with a groove bottom partition 22, and the groove bottom partition 22 is used to separate an accommodating space 20 for the detection module 4.

[0033] The detection module 4 has a control circuit board 40, a sensing element 41 electrically connected to the control circuit board 40, and a signal emitting element 43; wherein, when the sensing element 41 detects that a person's finger B enters the sensing range of the door panel groove 2, it will send an activation signal to the signal receiving element 33 via the signal emitting element 43, and after the signal receiving element 33 receives the activation signal, it will immediately drive the light-emitting element 30 to emit a warning flash.

[0034] During implementation, the signal transmitting component 43 may transmit the activation signal to the signal receiving component 33 via wired transmission or wireless transmission.

[0035] Furthermore, the control circuit board 40, the sensor element 41, and the signal emitting element 43 can be connected to a power supply within the vehicle or to an external power supply via a power cord 42, which provides the required power. In practice, the detection module 4 can further include a status indicator light 44 electrically connected to the control circuit board 40, and the status indicator light 44 can emit different light levels according to the different detection states of the sensor element 41. For example, if the sensor element 41 has not yet detected a person's finger B entering the sensing range of the door panel groove 2, the status indicator light 44 will normally display a blue light state. Once the sensor element 41 detects a person's finger B entering the sensing range of the door panel groove 2, the status indicator light 44 will immediately change to a warning red light state, or change to a flashing state.

[0036] Among them, when the status display light 44 is provided at the same time, in order to enable the driver or passenger in the car to see the current light source status emitted by the status display light 44, the groove bottom partition 22 can be made of a fully translucent or partially translucent material, or one or more light-transmitting holes can be opened on the groove bottom partition 22, so that the driver or passenger in the car can see and identify the light source emitted by the status display light 44 from the door panel groove 2.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, after the warning module 3 and the detection module 4 of the present invention are respectively installed in the side mirror 1 and the door panel groove 2, when the driver or passenger's finger B is inserted into the door panel groove 2 to activate the door opening element 21, once the sensing element 41 of the detection module 4 detects the finger B entering the sensing range, it will send an activation signal to the signal receiving element 33 of the warning module 3 via the signal transmitting element 43, driving the light emitting element 30 to emit a warning flash. In this way, the warning flash emitted by the light emitting element 30 on the side mirror 1 can warn nearby pedestrians or vehicles that the vehicle door is about to open, thereby achieving a door opening warning function and reducing the risk of collision.

[0038] See also Figure 6 The figure shows another embodiment of the warning module of the present invention, in which the light-emitting element in the warning module 3 can also be an annular light ring 30a provided on the outside of the mirror base housing 10 of the vehicle side rearview mirror 1; preferably, the annular light ring 30a is provided at a position located at the edge of the opening of the mirror base housing 10.

[0039] See also Figure 7The diagram shows another embodiment of the warning module of the present invention, wherein the light emitting element in the warning module 3 may also be one or more warning lights 30 b, 30 c provided outside the mirror base housing 10 of the vehicle side rearview mirror 1 .
