Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of public transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a bus stop sign device integrated with the right-side rearview mirror of a passenger vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the actual operation of large and medium-sized passenger vehicles, bus stop signs are key components for displaying route information to passengers, and their location and display effect have a significant impact on passengers' access to information. Currently, bus stop signs on existing large and medium-sized passenger vehicles are usually located above the windshield or on the side of the vehicle.

[0003] However, this traditional method of setting up bus stop signs has many drawbacks in practical applications. When vehicles are densely packed into the station, the close proximity of the vehicles makes it easy for them to block each other's view. Passengers in the following vehicle or adjacent lane will have their view obstructed by the vehicles in front or next to them when observing the bus stop information, making it impossible to clearly see the vehicle route information displayed on the sign.

[0004] The problem is particularly pronounced when multiple vehicles are entering the station side-by-side. In such situations, the bus stop signs on the side of the vehicles are highly likely to be completely obscured by adjacent vehicles, making it difficult for passengers to obtain the necessary route information even if they try to adjust their viewing angle. This not only causes significant inconvenience and reduces the passenger experience, but may also lead to passengers missing their routes, increasing travel time and costs, and ultimately impacting the efficiency and service quality of passenger transport operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated bus stop sign device for the right-side rearview mirror of a passenger vehicle, so as to avoid the problem that passengers cannot see the bus stop sign information due to vehicle obstruction.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide a bus stop sign device integrated with the right-side rearview mirror of a passenger vehicle, the bus stop sign device integrating the right-side rearview mirror of a passenger vehicle comprising:

[0007] Mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket is disposed at the front end of the right rearview mirror;

[0008] The display panel is mounted on the mounting bracket and is electrically connected to the vehicle control system via a CAN bus. The display panel displays vehicle wiring information.

[0009] An anti-glare transparent cover is fixed to the right rearview mirror and is positioned over the outside of the display panel.

[0010] In one embodiment, the display panel is oriented at an outward angle of 15°-30° with respect to the direction of vehicle travel.

[0011] In one embodiment, the center line of the display panel is 1.8-2.2 meters above the ground.

[0012] In one embodiment, the display panel is an LED electronic display screen.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket is made of aluminum alloy.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket includes:

[0015] A pivot is rotatably mounted on the right rearview mirror, the axis of the pivot is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the display panel is fixed on the pivot.

[0016] The motor is mounted on the right rearview mirror, and the power output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0017] The above-described technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0018] This utility model provides an integrated bus stop sign device for the right-side rearview mirror of passenger vehicles, breaking through the traditional bus stop sign design. A mounting bracket is installed on the right-side rearview mirror, and the display panel is fixed to the front of the mirror using this bracket. Because the rearview mirror protrudes from the vehicle body, when vehicles are densely packed into the station or multiple vehicles are entering in parallel, adjacent vehicles are unlikely to completely obstruct the display panel located at the front of the mirror. This allows passengers to clearly observe the vehicle route information displayed on the panel, greatly improving the convenience and accuracy of information access.

[0019] Furthermore, the display panel is electrically connected to the vehicle control system via a CAN bus. This connection method ensures the stability and efficiency of data transmission, enabling real-time and accurate acquisition of vehicle route information and its display on the panel. Simultaneously, an anti-glare transparent cover is installed on the outside of the display panel. While ensuring normal display, this effectively reduces interference from external light, especially in bright sunlight, allowing passengers to clearly see the displayed content and further enhancing the information display effect.

[0020] Furthermore, integrating the bus stop sign into the right-side rearview mirror eliminates the need for a large additional bus stop structure above the windshield or on the side of the vehicle. This fully utilizes the space of the existing rearview mirror component, without increasing the overall size and weight of the vehicle or interfering with other functional components, thus achieving a rational and optimized use of vehicle space.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an integrated bus stop sign device for the right-side rearview mirror 4 of a passenger vehicle, including a mounting bracket 1, a display panel 2, and an anti-glare transparent cover 3. The mounting bracket 1 is located at the front end of the right-side rearview mirror 4; the display panel 2 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and electrically connected to the vehicle control system via a CAN bus, displaying vehicle route information; the anti-glare transparent cover 3 is fixed to the right-side rearview mirror 4 and covers the outside of the display panel 2. This invention, by using the mounting bracket 1 on the right-side rearview mirror 4 to mount the display panel 2, fixes the display panel 2 to the front end of the right-side rearview mirror 4 and displays vehicle route information. Because the rearview mirror protrudes from the vehicle body, it is less likely to be obstructed by adjacent vehicles, making it easier for passengers to access vehicle route information. Optionally, a wiring groove is pre-reserved inside the rearview mirror base for wiring of the display panel 2.

[0033] In one embodiment, the display panel 2 is oriented at an outward angle of 15°-30° to the vehicle's direction of travel. This carefully designed angle range allows the display panel 2 to cover a wider area of ​​the displayed information. Passengers at different angles, whether positioned to the right front, directly to the side, or slightly behind the vehicle, can more easily observe the vehicle's route information on the display panel 2, significantly expanding the visible range and improving the efficiency of information transmission.

[0034] In one embodiment, the center line of the display panel 2 is 1.8-2.2 meters above the ground. Setting the center line of the display panel 2 within this range (1.8-2.2 meters) fully considers the viewing height of passengers of different heights. Whether adults, children, or groups of varying heights, all can easily observe the information on the display panel 2 while standing normally.

[0035] In one embodiment, the display panel 2 is an LED electronic display screen. LED electronic displays screens have high brightness, allowing for clear display of vehicle route information even in strong light environments, such as direct sunlight during the day, ensuring passengers can accurately obtain the information they need under various lighting conditions.

[0036] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of low density and light weight. Using aluminum alloy to make the mounting bracket 1 can reduce the weight of the entire bus stop device, reduce the load on the vehicle's rearview mirror and body structure, and avoid adverse effects on vehicle performance due to excessive weight of the device.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 includes a rotating shaft 11 and a motor 12. The rotating shaft 11 is rotatably mounted on the right-side rearview mirror 4, and its axis is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The display panel 2 is fixed to the rotating shaft 11. The motor 12 is mounted on the right-side rearview mirror 4, and its power output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft 11.

[0038] By incorporating a rotatable shaft 11 and a connected motor 12, the angle of the display panel 2 is adjustable. In different operational scenarios, such as when the vehicle stops at different stations or when ambient light changes, operators can control the motor 12 to rotate the shaft 11, thereby flexibly adjusting the orientation and angle of the display panel 2. This ensures the display panel 2 always faces passengers at the optimal angle, allowing them to see the vehicle route information more clearly and improving the relevance and effectiveness of information delivery. The motor 12, connected to the vehicle control system or remote control equipment, enables automatic adjustment of the display panel 2's angle without manual operation.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
