Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bicycle lighting technology, and more specifically, to a bicycle safety taillight with radar monitoring and camera functions. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of green travel, environmental protection concepts, and outdoor sports, people are using bicycles more and more frequently.

[0003] Traditional bicycle taillights are mostly passive reflective devices without active light emission. In low-visibility environments, their reflective effect is poor, making it difficult for drivers behind to see the cyclist in time, which can easily lead to rear-end collisions and scrapes. Because cyclists lack effective warning methods, they not only have difficulty perceiving the presence and distance of vehicles behind them, but also have to frequently look back to check the road conditions. This not only distracts them and disrupts their balance, but also, due to limited visibility at night or in bad weather, makes it difficult to see oncoming vehicles even when they look back, further increasing the risk of riding and making nighttime riding full of safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a bicycle safety taillight with radar monitoring and camera functionality.

[0005] The technical solution for a bicycle safety taillight with radar monitoring and camera function provided in this application is as follows: A bicycle safety taillight with radar monitoring and camera function includes a taillight body, and a monitoring component and a warning component are provided on one side of the taillight body; The monitoring components include a camera module and a radar module, which are used to monitor the road conditions behind the bicycle in real time. The warning components include a lamp core and a COB light source. A lens body is located on one side of the taillight body. The lens body consists of a front mirror and two side mirrors. The lamp core, COB light source, front mirror, and side mirrors are used to warn vehicles behind.

[0006] Furthermore, both the radar module and the lamp core are installed inside one side of the taillight body, with two lamp cores and the radar module located between the two lamp cores.

[0007] Furthermore, the number of COB light sources is set to two, with the two COB light sources located on both sides of the radar module, and the two side mirrors located on both sides of the front mirror, with the two side mirrors and the two COB light sources arranged in a corresponding manner.

[0008] Furthermore, the lens body is made of a high-transmission optical lens.

[0009] Furthermore, both side mirrors have vertical stripes on their outer walls.

[0010] Furthermore, a metal decorative piece is provided on one side of the camera module, and a light guide ring is provided on the other side of the camera module. The light guide ring is made of high-transparency light-guiding PC material, and the outer wall of the light guide ring has a corrugated texture.

[0011] The above technical solutions enable cyclists to know the road conditions behind them in real time, and can also serve as a warning to vehicles and cyclists behind them at night or in low visibility environments.

[0012] Furthermore, two buttons are located on the top of the taillight body.

[0013] The above technical solutions can improve ease of use.

[0014] Furthermore, the taillight body has sockets on both sides, and each socket has a silicone plug connected to one side.

[0015] The above technical solutions effectively prevent rainwater and dust from entering, ensuring the normal operation of the taillight body.

[0016] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided on one side of the taillight body, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the side of the taillight body near the mounting base. One side of the locking block has rounded corners, and two limiting grooves are opened on one side of the taillight body. The locking block is located between the two limiting grooves.

[0017] Furthermore, the mounting base has a locking hole inside, which engages with the locking block. The mounting base has two limiting blocks on the side near the taillight body, and two limiting slots are inserted into the two limiting blocks.

[0018] The above technical solution can keep the taillights in a fixed position under complex road conditions, ensuring the normal operation of monitoring and warning functions.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This invention enables cyclists to obtain real-time distance and speed data of vehicles within 200 meters behind them using a radar module through a monitoring component. Combined with information from the bicycle's speedometer, cyclists can perceive the dynamics of oncoming vehicles without turning around, effectively avoiding distraction and loss of balance caused by frequent looking back. Furthermore, the camera module can record the road conditions behind the rider throughout the journey, providing crucial evidence in case of accidents, and can also be used for recording cycling scenery and sharing on social media. Thus, the radar monitoring and camera recording functions work together to comprehensively enhance environmental perception capabilities in complex road conditions and significantly reduce cycling risks. This invention, through its warning components, enables vehicles behind to clearly see the cyclist from different angles at night or in low-visibility environments, significantly reducing the risk of rear-end collisions. Furthermore, the 300LM high-brightness flashing light provides a strong visual impact, quickly attracting the attention of drivers behind. Simultaneously, the lens enhances light penetration, maintaining a good warning effect even in adverse weather conditions such as rain and fog. This eliminates the need for cyclists to frequently look back to check road conditions, allowing for more focused and stable riding, thus enabling them to enjoy the ride with peace of mind and providing reliable safety in complex road conditions.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-5 A bicycle safety taillight with radar monitoring and camera function includes a taillight body 1, and a monitoring component and a warning component are provided on one side of the taillight body 1. The monitoring components include camera module 3 and radar module 4, which are used to monitor the road conditions behind the bicycle in real time. The warning assembly includes a lamp core 5 and a COB light source 6. A lens body 2 is provided on one side of the taillight body 1. The lens body 2 consists of a front mirror 7 and two side mirrors 8. The lamp core 5, COB light source 6, front mirror 7 and side mirrors 8 are used to warn vehicles behind.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 The radar module 4 and the lamp core 5 are both installed inside one side of the taillight body 1. There are two lamp cores 5, and the radar module 4 is located between the two lamp cores 5. The lens body 2 is made of a high-transparency optical lens. The outer walls of the two side mirrors 8 are provided with vertical stripes. One side of the camera module 3 is provided with a metal decorative piece 9. One side of the camera module 3 is provided with a light guide ring 10. The light guide ring 10 is made of high-transparency light guide PC material, and the outer wall of the light guide ring 10 is provided with a wavy texture.

[0025] The monitoring module allows cyclists to monitor the road conditions behind their bicycles in real time. Specifically, the monitoring module uses radar module 4 and camera module 3 to monitor the road conditions behind the bicycle in real time. Radar module 4 uses advanced radar scanning technology to monitor the distance and speed of vehicles approaching from behind within 200 meters. When a vehicle is detected approaching from behind or to the side, the information is synchronized to the cycling computer (a device used on bicycles to display riding data, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated here). This allows cyclists to perceive the dynamics behind them without having to turn around. Camera module 3 is equipped with a 1080P main camera with a wide-angle parameter of up to 146°, which can capture every detail on the road and record high-definition images of the road conditions behind the bicycle. This can not only serve as important evidence in case of an accident, but also be used for documentary and sharing the joy of cycling.

[0026] The monitoring components allow cyclists to obtain real-time distance and speed data of vehicles within 200 meters behind them using radar module 4. Combined with information from the bicycle's speedometer, cyclists can perceive the dynamics of oncoming vehicles without turning around, effectively avoiding distraction and loss of balance caused by frequent looking back. Furthermore, the camera module 3 can record the road conditions behind the rider throughout the journey, providing crucial evidence in case of accidents, and can also be used for recording cycling scenery and sharing on social media. Thus, the radar monitoring and camera recording functions work together to comprehensively enhance environmental perception capabilities in complex road conditions and significantly reduce cycling risks.

[0027] The warning components can serve as a warning to vehicles and cyclists behind at night or in low-visibility environments. Specifically, the warning method is as follows: First, the COB light sources 6 on both sides and the two lamp cores 5 form a light-emitting unit, which is matched with a high-transmittance optical lens body 2 composed of a front mirror 7 and a side mirror 8 (the front mirror 7 optimizes the collimation of the central beam through precision optical design, so that the light is concentrated and directly shines to enhance the penetration distance, while the vertical stripe texture on the outer wall of the side mirror 8 enhances the lateral light scattering through structural design and expands the light coverage angle). When radar module 4 detects an approaching vehicle from behind, it transmits distance and speed data to the control system in real time, triggering a dynamic warning mechanism. The control system then instructs COB light source 6 and lamp core 5 to flash at a high brightness of 300LM with adjustable frequency. This brightness setting meets the requirements for strong light warning at night while avoiding excessive power consumption. Compared to a constant light source, this dynamic flashing light source is more likely to trigger visual nerve responses and can quickly attract the attention of drivers behind in complex lighting environments. After the light passes through the optical refraction and texture diffuse reflection of the lens body 2, it can still maintain strong light penetration in scenarios such as rain, fog, and darkness, thereby enhancing the visual attraction to drivers behind and effectively reducing the risk of collision.

[0028] The warning components ensure that cyclists are clearly visible to vehicles behind from different angles at night or in low-visibility environments, significantly reducing the risk of rear-end collisions. The 300LM high-brightness flashing lights are visually striking and quickly attract the attention of drivers behind. Meanwhile, the lens body 2 enhances light penetration, maintaining a good warning effect even in adverse weather conditions such as rain and fog. This eliminates the need for cyclists to frequently look back to check road conditions, allowing them to focus more on stable riding and enjoy the ride with peace of mind, while also providing reliable safety in complex road conditions.

[0029] In addition, the corrugated texture on the outer wall of the light guide ring 10 made of high-transparency PC material can further homogenize the emitted light, thereby improving the light efficiency while avoiding glare.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 The taillight body 1 has two buttons 11 on its top.

[0031] Two buttons 11 can be used to operate the functional zones, such as controlling power on / off, mode switching (light / camera / radar), and sensitivity adjustment, avoiding the complicated operation of a single button 11 and improving ease of use and reliability.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 The taillight body 1 has sockets 18 on both sides, and a silicone plug 12 is connected to one side of each socket 18.

[0033] With the combination of the two side sockets 18 and silicone plugs 12, the charging and card insertion needs can be met, while the sealing effect of the silicone plugs 12 effectively prevents rainwater and dust from entering, ensuring the normal operation of the taillight body 1.

[0034] Reference Figures 6-7 A mounting base 13 is provided on one side of the taillight body 1. A locking block 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the taillight body 1 near the mounting base 13. One side of the locking block 14 has a rounded corner. Two limiting grooves 15 are opened on one side of the taillight body 1. The locking block 14 is located between the two limiting grooves 15. A locking hole 16 is opened inside the mounting base 13. The locking hole 16 is engaged with the locking block 14. Two limiting blocks 17 are provided on the side of the mounting base 13 near the taillight body 1. The two limiting grooves 15 are inserted into the two limiting blocks 17.

[0035] The mounting bracket 13 allows for quick connection to the taillight body 1. Specifically, the rounded corner design on one side of the locking block 14 facilitates insertion into the locking hole 16, reducing installation resistance. The engagement between the locking block 14 and the locking hole 16 withstands vibrations during riding, preventing the taillight from falling off. Then, the insertion structure of the two limiting slots 15 and the limiting block 17 precisely positions the taillight installation direction, preventing offset and simultaneously creating a lateral limit, enhancing connection stability. This dual fixing method supports quick installation and removal while maintaining the taillight's position in complex road conditions, ensuring the normal operation of monitoring and warning functions.

[0036] Working principle: First, through the radar module 4 and camera module 3 in the monitoring component (both radar module 4 and camera module 3 are existing technologies, and their specific internal structure is not shown in the diagram), real-time monitoring of the road conditions behind the bicycle can be achieved. Among them, the radar module 4 uses advanced radar scanning technology to monitor the distance and speed of vehicles approaching from behind within 200 meters in real time. When a vehicle is detected approaching from behind or to the side, the information is synchronized to the cycling computer (the device used on the bicycle to display riding data, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here), allowing the rider to perceive the dynamics behind without turning around. The camera module 3 is equipped with a 1080P main camera with a wide-angle parameter of up to 146°, which can capture every detail on the road and record high-definition images of the road conditions behind. This can not only serve as important evidence in case of an accident, but also be used for documentary and sharing the joy of cycling. Next, in nighttime or low-visibility environments, the COB light sources 6 on both sides and the two lamp cores 5 form a light-emitting unit, which is paired with a high-transmittance optical lens body 2 composed of a front mirror 7 and a side mirror 8 (the front mirror 7 optimizes the collimation of the central beam through precision optical design, so that the light is concentrated and directly shines to enhance the penetration distance, while the vertical stripe texture on the outer wall of the side mirror 8 enhances the lateral light scattering through structural design and expands the light coverage angle). When radar module 4 detects an approaching vehicle from behind, it transmits distance and speed data to the control system in real time, triggering a dynamic warning mechanism. The control system then instructs COB light source 6 and lamp core 5 to flash at a high brightness of 300LM with adjustable frequency. This brightness setting meets the requirements for strong light warning at night while avoiding excessive power consumption. Compared to a constant light source, this dynamic flashing light source is more likely to trigger visual nerve responses and can quickly attract the attention of drivers behind in complex lighting environments. After the light passes through the optical refraction and texture diffuse reflection of the lens body 2, it can still maintain strong light penetration in scenarios such as rain, fog, and darkness, thereby enhancing the visual attraction to drivers behind and effectively reducing the risk of collision.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
