Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to beach buggies, and more particularly to a beach buggy warning device with multiple warning functions. Background Technology

[0002] ATVs, also known as beach buggies, are special vehicles designed for riding on soft terrain such as beaches and deserts. Their unique off-road capabilities and recreational appeal have made them popular among enthusiasts. However, the driving environment for ATVs is often complex, with potential pedestrians, vehicles, or obstacles nearby. Therefore, effective warning devices are crucial for ensuring driving safety.

[0003] Currently, most ATV warning systems on the market rely on headlights and taillights. Headlights are primarily used to illuminate the road ahead, helping drivers see clearly at night or in low-light conditions; taillights mainly serve to alert vehicles or pedestrians behind. However, side warnings are noticeably lacking while the vehicle is in motion.

[0004] During the day, due to ample lighting, this lack of side warning may not be very noticeable. However, at night or in dimly lit environments, it is difficult for people around the ATV to promptly perceive the vehicle's presence and movement from the side. Especially in areas with frequent pedestrian and vehicle traffic on beaches, the inability to clearly observe the ATV's movement from the side can easily lead to collisions and other safety accidents.

[0005] Furthermore, existing ATV warning systems are rather simplistic and lack the ability to dynamically adjust to different environments and driving conditions. For example, in bright light, the warning lights may be too bright, wasting electricity and potentially causing visual disturbance to those nearby; conversely, in dim light, the lights may be insufficient to draw attention. Additionally, the warning effect does not adjust accordingly to changes in vehicle speed, failing to effectively alert those around the vehicle based on speed. Moreover, there is no specific warning mechanism to alert the driver and surrounding personnel when the vehicle approaches an obstacle from the side.

[0006] In conclusion, the existing ATV warning system has obvious shortcomings and cannot meet the safety requirements in actual use. There is an urgent need for a more complete and intelligent warning device to improve the driving safety of ATVs. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention addresses the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a beach buggy warning device with multiple warning functions.

[0008] The above-mentioned objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a beach buggy warning device with multiple warning functions, comprising a vehicle body shell, wheel covers on both sides of the vehicle body shell, and a warning light installed on the bottom side of the wheel cover. The warning light includes a lamp housing and a cover, and an LED light is installed in the internal space formed by the lamp housing and the cover. Specifically, the lamp housing and cover of the warning light are designed as an arc-shaped structure adapted to the edge of the wheel cover. This unique arc-shaped design, on the one hand, ensures a tight fit to the edge of the wheel cover, guaranteeing stable installation; on the other hand, the lamp holder naturally extends downwards with an arc-shaped light-transmitting part exposed outside the edge of the wheel cover. In this way, the warning light can emit clearly visible light from both sides of the vehicle body, greatly improving the warning effect of existing beach buggies, allowing surrounding personnel to clearly observe the vehicle's driving status from the side of the vehicle body, and significantly improving driving safety.

[0009] To achieve multiple warning functions, this device is also equipped with a multi-sensor collaborative system, including an ambient light sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, a distance sensor, a control circuit, a microcontroller, and a power module.

[0010] The ambient light sensor is installed on one side of the warning light and connected to the control circuit. Its main function is to sense the ambient light intensity in real time and accurately transmit the acquired signal to the control circuit. The control circuit has a preset light intensity threshold and can intelligently adjust the brightness of the warning light based on the signal from the ambient light sensor. For example, in bright daylight, the brightness of the warning light is automatically reduced to avoid energy waste and unnecessary visual interference to people in the surrounding area; while at night or in dimly lit environments, the brightness of the warning light is increased to ensure the warning effect. This function realizes automatic adjustment of the warning light brightness according to the ambient light intensity, which is both energy-saving and efficient.

[0011] The vehicle speed sensor is mounted on the vehicle frame and connected to a microcontroller, which in turn is connected to a control circuit. The vehicle speed sensor collects pulse signals of the vehicle's speed. After receiving these signals, the microcontroller accurately calculates the appropriate brightness or flashing frequency of the warning light based on the vehicle speed and sends the corresponding control signal to the control circuit. The control circuit flexibly controls the brightness and operating mode of the warning light based on the received control signal. When the vehicle is traveling at low speed, the warning light remains constantly on with low brightness; as the vehicle speed increases, the warning light increases its brightness and flashing frequency, thus dynamically adjusting the warning effect according to the vehicle speed to more effectively attract the attention of those around.

[0012] The distance sensor, connected to the control circuit, can be installed inside or on the side of the warning light. It can be an ultrasonic or infrared sensor. The sensor's function is to continuously detect the distance between the vehicle's side and obstacles, transmitting the detected signal to the control circuit. Once the detected distance is less than a preset threshold, the control circuit immediately triggers the warning light to enter a rapid flashing mode, thereby alerting surrounding personnel and the driver to the safety conditions on the side of the vehicle and effectively preventing side collisions.

[0013] The power module is connected to the warning light, ambient light sensor, vehicle speed sensor, distance sensor, control circuit and microcontroller respectively, providing sufficient power support for the stable operation of the entire device and ensuring that each component can work continuously and normally.

[0014] The positional design of each component in this utility model:

[0015] The ambient light sensor is fixed to the housing of the warning light by a small bracket. This installation method is not only easy to operate, but also ensures that the ambient light sensor can accurately sense the light intensity near the warning light, providing accurate light data for the control circuit.

[0016] The vehicle speed sensor is mounted on the vehicle frame and connected to the microcontroller via a signal line. This ensures that the vehicle speed sensor can stably collect vehicle speed pulse signals and reliably transmit the collected pulse signals to the microcontroller, thus ensuring accurate collection and transmission of vehicle speed signals and laying the foundation for the realization of the vehicle speed linkage warning function.

[0017] The control circuit is installed below the dashboard of the ATV or in another location that is convenient for wiring and protection. The space below the dashboard is relatively regular, which facilitates wiring and also provides some protection for the control circuit, ensuring its normal operation and facilitating future maintenance.

[0018] The microcontroller and control circuit can be integrated together or installed separately near the control circuit. Regardless of the installation method, the goal is to facilitate fast and stable signal transmission and collaborative operation between the two, ensuring the efficient execution of control commands for the entire device.

[0019] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0020] 1. This device has warning lights installed on the bottom side of the wheel covers on both sides of the vehicle body. The lights can be emitted from both sides of the vehicle body, which improves the warning effect of the existing beach buggies and allows people to clearly observe the driving status of the vehicle from the side of the vehicle body, thereby improving driving safety.

[0021] 2. The ambient light sensor adjustment function can automatically adjust the brightness of the warning light according to the ambient light intensity, which saves power and avoids visual interference.

[0022] 3. The speed-linked warning mode dynamically adjusts the brightness and flashing frequency of the warning lights according to the vehicle speed, more effectively attracting the attention of those around.

[0023] 4. Obstacle detection warning function: When the vehicle approaches an obstacle on the side, the warning light flashes rapidly to remind surrounding people and the driver to pay attention to side safety. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 6As shown, a multi-functional warning device for beach buggies includes a vehicle body shell 1, with wheel covers 2 on both sides of the body shell 1. Warning lights 3 are installed on the bottom side of the wheel covers 2 on both sides. The lamp housing 31 and the cover 32 of the warning light 3 are designed as arc-shaped structures to fit the edge of the wheel cover 2. An LED light (not shown) is installed in the internal space formed by the lamp housing 31 and the cover 32 to ensure a firm and aesthetically pleasing installation. The lamp housing 31 is fixed to the inside of the wheel cover 2 with screws, and the lamp housing 31 extends downward with an arc-shaped light-transmitting part 33 exposed on the edge of the wheel cover 2. An ambient light sensor 4 is fixed to the lamp housing 31 of the warning light 3 by a small bracket (not shown) to accurately sense the ambient light intensity. A vehicle speed sensor 5 is installed on the frame and connected to a microcontroller 8 via a signal line 51 to collect vehicle speed pulse signals. A distance sensor 6, which is an ultrasonic sensor, is installed on the side of the warning light 3 and connected to a control circuit 7. The control circuit 7 is installed below the dashboard of the beach buggy, and the microcontroller 8 is integrated with the control circuit 7. The power module 9 is connected to the warning light 3, ambient light sensor 4, vehicle speed sensor 5, distance sensor 6, control circuit 7 and microcontroller 8 respectively, providing power support for the entire device.

[0032] Work process:

[0033] Ambient light sensing adjustment: Ambient light sensor 4 senses the ambient light intensity in real time and transmits the signal to control circuit 7. When the ambient light is strong, control circuit 7 reduces the brightness of warning light 3 according to a preset light intensity threshold to avoid wasting power and causing visual interference to people in the surrounding area; when the ambient light is dim, control circuit 7 increases the brightness of warning light 3 to attract the attention of people in the surrounding area.

[0034] Vehicle speed-linked warning: Vehicle speed sensor 5 collects pulse signals of vehicle speed, and microcontroller 8 calculates the brightness value or flashing frequency of warning light 3 based on the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed is low, microcontroller 8 controls warning light 3 to remain constantly lit at a low brightness; when the vehicle speed is high, microcontroller 8 controls warning light 3 to increase brightness and flashing frequency, thereby more effectively attracting the attention of those around.

[0035] Obstacle detection warning: Distance sensor 6 continuously detects the distance between the side of the vehicle and obstacles and transmits the signal to control circuit 7. When the detected distance is less than a set threshold, control circuit 7 triggers warning light 3 to enter a rapid flashing mode to remind surrounding personnel and the driver to pay attention to side safety.

[0036] Example 2: The structure of this example is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that the distance sensor 6 is an infrared sensor, installed inside the warning light 3. The microcontroller 8 is installed separately near the control circuit 7.

[0037] Working process: Similar to the working process of Embodiment 1, except that the infrared sensor uses the infrared sensing principle when detecting the distance between the side of the vehicle and obstacles. When an obstacle is detected, a signal is transmitted to the control circuit 7, which triggers the warning light 3 to enter a rapid flashing mode, realizing the obstacle detection warning function.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
