この発明は道を通行する人に、近づいて来た車両の存在を、報知させる手段に関するものである。The present invention relates to a means for notifying a person passing by a road of the presence of a vehicle approaching.
道を歩いていると、すぐそばを通り抜ける車両に、ひやっとしたり、ビックリしたりする事がある。自転車に加え、最近の車両は、とても静かに走って来るので、接近して来ている事が分らず、通り過ぎてから、その存在に気が付き、危なかったと、驚くことが多い。少し前までは自動車はエンジン音が聞こえ、自転車はバンドブレーキのキーキーと言う音や、たるんだチエーンがこすれて、接近して来るのが分かる事もあった。又、警笛や、ベル、警報具等、音を出して車両の存在を示す事に、不満を持つ人は少なかった。又、歩きスマホと言われるような、スマートフォンやゲーム等の増加により、画面を見ながら歩く人が増え、車両の接近に気付かず、歩行者自身が危険な状況を、自ら作り出している社会と成ってしまった。As you walk along the road, you may be surprised or surprised at the vehicle that passes by. In addition to bicycles, modern vehicles run very quietly, so it is often surprised that they did not know that they were approaching and were aware of their existence after passing and were dangerous. Until a while ago, the car could hear the engine sound, and the bicycle could be heard as a key to the band brake, or the loose chain rubbed and approached. In addition, few people were dissatisfied with the presence of vehicles such as horns, bells, and alarms. Also, with the increase in smartphones and games, which are said to be walking smartphones, the number of people walking while watching the screen increases, and it is a society in which pedestrians themselves create dangerous situations themselves without noticing the approach of vehicles. I have.
交通ルールでは自転車は車道を走る事になっているらしい。自転車で歩道を走って、歩行者に警笛を鳴らす事も、違反らしい。しかし速度の遅い自転車が車道を走る事は、速度の速い自動車に、次々と追い越される事を意味している。又バイクは時速３０ｋｍが制限速度なのに、普通車は６０ｋｍである。この事は同じ道路上を、違う速度の物が並行して走り、抜き去る事を意味している、つまり、時速３０、６０ｋｍで走る車両に追突される要因、物理的可能性を、ルール上秘めていて、事故の発生確率を上げる事に繋がっている。又バイクは自転車の後方につくたびに、車線変更をして、追い抜かなければならない。トラック等の４輪車に、二輪車である自転車やバイクが接触すれば、転倒し、死亡事故に結び付く事は容易に考えられる。この間も重要ポストの政治家が自転車で転倒し、入院されている。政治日程にも影響するらしい。このバイクが走る所を、転倒する自転車にも走れと言うのである。道路横断面は平坦では無く、排水勾配を取る為に、基本的にかまぼこ状の横断面である、更に車道は頻繁に車両の通る所はワダチが出来て凹んでいる、そのしわ寄せで２輪車の走る道路側端は盛り上がっている所がある。国道１号線京都山科区にはこの現象が顕著で６０ｃｍ程の幅で１０ｃｍ以上の高低差があった。更にアスファルト舗装の道路側端にはコンクリート製のエル型側溝が多くあり、この取り合いに段差がある所は無数にある。２輪車はこの勾配や段差で、ハンドルを取られたり転倒したりする。これは実体験である。道路が新設された当時は同じ高さであっても、コンクリートとアスファルトでは熱膨張係数、伸縮率等、物理的要素が違うので、経年変化で段差が出来る事は自然な事でもある。この様な路面を転倒する特性がある２輪車で走るには、常に５〜１０ｍ程先を見て、その状況に合わせ、体重移動やハンドル操作等のバランスを保つ運転が必要と成る。路面が濡れる雨天の日には視界も悪く、危険度は更に増す。雨量が多いと排水能力以上に降る雨は、水溜りと成って道路端を水浸しにする。山、谷、斜面等、路面に勾配の付いたこの上を２輪車で走る事は、水により摩擦係数が減り、滑って転倒する事は物理的事実である。更に道路上に停車中の車両が、進路を妨げる事例は、ごくごく普通にある事で、そのたびにバイク、自転車共に車線変更して自動車走行路線に入り、進行することに成る。速度の遅い自転車やバイクが数倍近くもの速度で走る車線に入って、停車車両をかわす訳である。危険極まり無い行為だと言える。又、走行線の描いていない道を人が歩いていて、自転車に追い抜かれる時、ビックリする事がある。最近は自動車音も静かなので、同じ事例がある。例えば歩行者が後方から接近してくる車両に気づかないで、歩く方向を変えたり、道路を横断すると、事故が起きる。特に高齢者になると、首を回して後方を確認すると言う、若い時には無意識のうちに出来た簡単な動作が出来難く、後方確認もしないで進行方向を変える人に、自転車を含む車両が衝突する事例は多い。後方から速度の速い自転車を含む車両が、歩行者を追い抜くのは当たり前の事で、この時、進行方向を変えた歩行者に車両が衝突、追突する事例は、高齢者の増加と静粛な車両の増加と共に増えつつある。更にはスマートフォンやゲーム等の増加で、画面を見ながら歩いたり、歩行者自身も、車両の接近を感知、察知し難い状況を、自ら作り出している。この様な状況を考えると、現行法や警報音を出す事を禁止している条例等は、不都合であるとも言える。According to traffic rules, bicycles are supposed to run on the road. Running a sidewalk on a bicycle and sounding a horn on a pedestrian seems to be a violation. However, running a slow bicycle on the road means that it is overtaken by fast cars one after another. A motorcycle has a speed limit of 30km / h, but a regular car has a speed limit of 60km. This means that objects of different speeds run on the same road in parallel and are removed. In other words, the factors that cause rear-end collisions with vehicles running at 30 and 60 km / h, the physical possibility, It leads to raising the probability of accidents. Also, every time you ride a bike behind the bicycle, you must change lanes and overtake it. If a bicycle or motorcycle, which is a two-wheeled vehicle, comes into contact with a four-wheeled vehicle such as a truck, it can easily be assumed that it will fall and lead to a fatal accident. Meanwhile, politicians from important posts fell on bicycles and were hospitalized. It seems to affect the political schedule. The place where this bike runs is said to run on a falling bicycle. The cross section of the road is not flat and basically has a semi-cylindrical cross section in order to take a drainage gradient. Furthermore, the roadway is frequently crumpled and recessed where the vehicle passes, and the two-wheeled vehicle is wrinkled. There is a place where the road side where the road runs is raised. This phenomenon was remarkable in National Highway No. 1 Kyoto Yamashina-ku, and there was a height difference of 10 cm or more in a width of about 60 cm. Furthermore, there are many concrete elbow gutters at the road side edge of asphalt pavement, and there are countless places where there are steps in this connection. Two-wheeled vehicles can be handled or fall over at this slope or step. This is a real experience. Even when the road was newly built, even though it was the same height, concrete and asphalt differed in physical factors such as thermal expansion coefficient and expansion / contraction rate, so it is natural to have a step due to aging. In order to run on a two-wheeled vehicle that has such a characteristic that the road surface falls over, it is necessary to always look ahead about 5 to 10 meters and to maintain a balance such as weight shift and steering operation according to the situation. Visibility is poor on rainy days when the road surface gets wet, and the danger increases further. If there is a lot of rain, the rain that falls beyond the drainage capacity will form a puddle and flood the road edge. It is a physical fact that running on a motorcycle with a slope on the road, such as a mountain, valley, or slope, with a two-wheeled vehicle reduces the coefficient of friction due to water and slips and falls. Furthermore, there are cases where a vehicle parked on the road obstructs the route, and every time a vehicle and a bicycle change lanes, they enter an automobile travel route and proceed. A slow bicycle or motorcycle enters the lane where the speed is several times faster, and the stopped vehicle is dodged. It can be said that this is an act with no danger. Also, when a person is walking on a road that does not draw a running line and is overtaken by a bicycle, he may be surprised. There is the same case because the car noise is quiet recently. For example, if a pedestrian is unaware of a vehicle approaching from behind and changes his walking direction or crosses a road, an accident occurs. In particular, when you are an elderly person, you turn your neck to check the back. When you are young, it is difficult to perform unintentional simple movements, and vehicles including bicycles collide with people who change their direction of travel without checking the back. There are many cases. It is natural that vehicles including bicycles with high speed from behind will overtake pedestrians. At this time, there are cases where vehicles collide and collide with pedestrians whose direction of travel has changed. It is increasing with the increase. Furthermore, with the increase in smartphones and games, etc., walking while looking at the screen, and pedestrians themselves have created a situation where it is difficult to sense and detect the approach of the vehicle. Considering such a situation, it can be said that the current law and the ordinances prohibiting the alarm sound are inconvenient.
これらを防ぐ為に、車道と自転車道と歩道を分離新設したり、道路幅を広げる都市計画等の都市基盤整備がある。しかしこれらを実現するには莫大な費用と敷地が必要であり、現実には机上の空論であり、理想論である事が分る。道路を拡幅するには沿道の土地所有者に、買取りか、賃貸を求める事になる、沿線上に切れ目なく連続してこれが出来るとは、誰が考えても無理だと言う事が分る。田んぼ道ならいざ知らず、町中で土地が削られれば生活出来ない敷地、家屋が多い地域では、無理な事は誰にでもわかる。道路拡幅が必要な所は、必然的に家屋密集地が多い。それでなくても山ほどの課題に財政はひっ迫している。故に解決策のないまま、時間だけが経過していく。法律的解決策や政治的、行政的解決策は、非常に時間と経費がかかる、計画を立て、専門家を加えた審議会を開き、議会を重ね、計画決定、事業決定まで持って行くには１０年はすぐに過ぎ去る。その割に効果も小さいものが少なくない。またそのルール維持にも費用や行政官の経費、歳費も必要である。他の事例でも、実態に合わないルールで、損害を被った被害者が、裁判で争っている事実は、真に集団社会、民主主義社会の難しさを露呈している。時間と経費、歳費の無駄である。その間にも事故は起こり、犠牲者は発生する。その結果、前述した不都合なルールでしか、解決策が無いのが社会の現実である。他方、車両側から警笛、警報、振動等、歩行者に車両が接近してきている事を知らせれば、かなりの事故件数が減る。しかし、いきなり後ろからベルや警笛を鳴らされると、ビックリするのと同時に、腹が立つ事もある。特に最近は権利意識が高揚しているので、この現象は顕著である。また歩道で警笛を鳴らすことがルール違反である不可解な規則もあるらしい。そこで音がしても、あまり歩行者が怒りの感情を抱かない物が必要となる。エンジン音を響かして後方から迫って来る自動車に対しては、道端に寄ったり、立ち止まって後方を確認したりする。しかしいきなりクラクションを、鳴らされたり、自転車の警報ベルを鳴らされると、ビックリすると共に腹が立つことがある。人間の性かもしれない。そこでなるべく、人為的作動に聞こえない、車両接近報知装置が必要だと考える。アイデアで課題解決が出来れば、事故が減り、これらに関わる行政経費も削減出来、社会としてその効果は大きい。In order to prevent these problems, there are roadside, bicycle, and sidewalks that have been newly established, and urban infrastructure such as urban planning that expands the width of roads. However, to realize these, enormous costs and grounds are necessary, and in reality, it is understood that it is an empty theory on the desk and an ideal theory. In order to widen the road, the landowners along the road will be asked to buy or rent, and it can be said that no one can think that this can be done continuously along the line. In the area where there are many houses and houses where you can't live if the land is shaved in the town without knowing if it is a rice field road, anyone can understand that it is impossible. Where roads need to be widened, there are inevitably many densely populated areas. Even so, finances are tight on many challenges. Therefore, only time passes without a solution. Legal solutions and political and administrative solutions are very time consuming and expensive to plan, open up a council with experts, repeat the assembly, bring to planning decisions, business decisions 10 years will soon pass away. In spite of this, there are many things that are less effective. In addition, expenses, administrative expenses, and annual expenses are also required to maintain the rules. In other cases, the fact that victims who suffered damages in courts with rules that do not match the actual situation is truly revealing the difficulties of collective society and democratic society. It is a waste of time, money, and year expenses. In the meantime, accidents occur and victims occur. As a result, the reality of society is that there is no solution only with the inconvenient rules described above. On the other hand, if the vehicle informs the pedestrian that the vehicle is approaching, such as a horn, alarm, or vibration, the number of accidents will be reduced considerably. However, suddenly, if a bell or horn is sounded from behind, you will be surprised and at the same time angry. This phenomenon is particularly prominent because rights awareness has been rising recently. There seems to be an incomprehensible rule that sounding a horn on the sidewalk is a violation of the rule. Therefore, there is a need for a pedestrian that does not have the feeling of anger even if it makes a sound. For cars approaching from behind with engine noise, stop by the roadside or stop and check the back. However, suddenly horns are sounded or a bicycle alarm bell is sounded, which can be surprised and angry. It may be human nature. Therefore, as much as possible, I think that a vehicle approach notification device that does not sound like an artificial operation is necessary. If problems can be solved with ideas, accidents can be reduced, and administrative expenses related to these can be reduced.
特許文献１の特開２０１２−０８８９６５号公報、警報システムおよびそれに用いられる車載装置はハイブリッド等の静音自動車が、その接近を歩行者に知らせる為に信号を発し、その信号を受けた道路側装置が振動を発生させ、歩行者に知らせる装置である。この装置は非常に大掛かりな仕掛けが必要であり、費用対効果が不適当である、従って容易には普及出来ない。又自動車側から信号を発し、歩行者側のスマートフォン等に信号を送り、注意喚起する方法や疑似エンジン音等を発生させる技術も多数出願されている。これらも容易に普及出来るかとの観点から見ると容易ではなく、機器を持っていない人には伝わらないし、容易に普及出来るとは思えず、人為的行為である感覚は否めない。Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-088965 of Patent Document 1, an alarm system and a vehicle-mounted device used therefor, a silent vehicle such as a hybrid emits a signal to inform a pedestrian of the approach, and a roadside device that receives the signal It is a device that generates vibration and informs pedestrians. This device requires a very large scale and is not cost effective and therefore cannot be easily spread. A number of applications have also been filed for generating a signal from the automobile side, sending a signal to a smartphone on the pedestrian side, etc., and generating a pseudo engine sound. From the viewpoint of whether these can be easily spread, it is not easy, it is not transmitted to people who do not have the equipment, and it cannot be easily spread, and it cannot be denied that it is an artificial act.
特許文献２の特開２００１−３２２５８２号公報は昔からある考え方で、実際に使われていた時代を知っている。車両の少なかった時代なら良いと思う。これも人為的に音の発生を入り切りしても、自然に発生する音の様には捉えられない。Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-322582 of Patent Document 2 is based on a long-standing idea and knows the times when it was actually used. I think it would be good if there were few vehicles. Even if the generation of sound is artificially turned on and off, it does not look like a naturally occurring sound.
特許文献３の特開２００３−３２７１７９号公報は空気の出入りによって音が発生するので、前記案に比べて比較的穏やかな気がするが、人為的作動によって、発音している感じは否めない。In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-327179 of Patent Document 3, since sound is generated by the entry and exit of air, it feels relatively gentle compared to the above-mentioned proposal, but it cannot be denied that it is sounding by an artificial operation.
この発明は、昔、外国映画で見た、新婚旅行に出かける車の後ろに、空き缶を多数、紐でぶら下げて走るシーンを見たのがヒントである。空き缶をぶら下げた車が走り出すと、路面にすれ、ガラガラと音を出し、見送りの人が見えなくなると空き缶を取り外し、普通走行して新婚旅行に出かける。このガラガラと音を出す行為に、入り、切り、オン、オフの制御ができれば、自然な音が発生できるので、歩行者に怒りの感情を持たす事少なく、車両の接近を知らせる事が出来る。本発明はこの様に非常に簡単な考え方で、歩行者に怒りの感情を持たれる事少なく、車両の接近を報知できる考え方であり、現実の実態にそぐわない、苦し紛れのルールでも解決できないこの課題を、採用し易いアイデアによって解決しようとするものである。The idea of this invention is that I saw a scene where a lot of empty cans were hung with a string behind a car going out for a honeymoon, which I saw in foreign movies. When a car with empty cans starts running, it rubs on the road and makes a rattling sound. If you can control on, off, on and off in this rattling action, a natural sound can be generated, so you can tell the pedestrian that the vehicle is approaching with little feeling of anger. In this way, the present invention is a very simple way of thinking, it is possible to notify the approach of the vehicle with little feeling of anger to the pedestrian, and this problem that cannot be solved even by the rules of suffering that is not suitable for the actual situation. The idea is to solve it with easy-to-adopt ideas.
請求項１の発明は車両構成部材（８）から、車両の走る路面に向かって伸びる発音体（３）を路面に対して、接地、離反、可能に、車両構成部材に設けた事を特徴とする、車両接近報知装置並びに該車両接近報知装置を備えた車両である。発音体（３）とは走行車両に繋がれた発音体が、路面に接触した時に音を出すものなら何でもよく、金属、木材、樹脂、パイプ、鈴、缶、等、多くの物が使用できる。The invention of claim 1 is characterized in that a sounding body (3) extending from the vehicle component (8) toward the road surface on which the vehicle runs is provided on the vehicle component so as to be able to contact and separate from the road surface. A vehicle approach notification device and a vehicle including the vehicle approach notification device. The sounding body (3) may be anything that produces sound when the sounding body connected to the traveling vehicle comes into contact with the road surface, and many things such as metal, wood, resin, pipes, bells, cans, etc. can be used. .
路面に対して、接地、離反、可能にとは、例えば紐で発音体（３）をぶら下げている場合は紐の長さを、長短に出し入れする手段、例えば紐の巻き取り装置で、紐を繰り出した時に、発音体（３）が接地し音を出し、巻き取り装置を巻き、紐を短くした時は発音体（３）が路面から離れ離反し、発音が止まる。発音体が路面と接触した時に、摩擦、振動、衝撃いずれかの現象で音を発し、発音する。For example, when the sounding body (3) is hung with a string, the length of the string can be taken into and out of the road surface, for example, by means of a string winding device. When extended, the sounding body (3) comes into contact with the ground, makes a sound, winds the winding device, and shortens the string, the sounding body (3) moves away from the road surface and the sounding stops. When the sounding body comes into contact with the road surface, it emits sound and produces sound by any of friction, vibration, or shock.
請求項２の発明は、発音体（３）が車両構成部材に繋がれたアームＢ（２）の先端に設けられた多角形、円の外周一部を欠いた形、円の外周一部が突起した形、いずれかの車輪形状であり、路面に接触した時、回転し、音、振動を発する請求項１記載の車両接近報知装置並びに該車両接近報知装置を備えた車両である。発音体（３）をアームＢ（２）の先端に設けられた星形車輪にすると、路面に接触した時、回転し、路面を叩き、音、振動を発する。発音体の種類によっては路面を叩く事も出来、この場合は振動を大きく路面に与える事が出来、聴覚障害者に路面振動を伝える事により、車両の接近を報知する事も出来る。例えば接触面をお椀状にすれば、馬のひずめの様にパカパカと低周波の空気を響かす音を出し、路面の振動と共に大きな空気振動をも起こし、聴覚障碍者にも車両の接近を知らす事が出来る事もある。In the invention of claim 2, the polygon provided at the tip of the arm B (2) where the sounding body (3) is connected to the vehicle component, the shape lacking a part of the outer periphery of the circle, and the part of the outer periphery of the circle are The vehicle approach notification device according to claim 1, which has a protruding shape or any wheel shape, and rotates and emits sound and vibration when contacting a road surface, and a vehicle including the vehicle approach notification device. When the sounding body (3) is a star-shaped wheel provided at the tip of the arm B (2), when it comes into contact with the road surface, it rotates, hits the road surface, and generates sound and vibration. Depending on the type of sounding body, it is possible to hit the road surface. In this case, a large amount of vibration can be given to the road surface, and the approach of the vehicle can be notified by transmitting the road surface vibration to the hearing impaired person. For example, if the contact surface is made into a bowl shape, it will make a sound that resonates with low-frequency air like a horse's fountain, causing a large air vibration along with the vibration of the road surface, also informing the hearing impaired about the approach of the vehicle Sometimes things can be done.
請求項３の発明は発音体（３）が自転車のペダル（４）に設けられた、請求項１、２いずれかに記載の車両接近報知装置並びに該車両接近報知装置を備えた車両である。自転車のペダルの下面に発音体（３）を設けておき、ペダルが水平の時は発音体（３）が路面から離れており、ペダルを傾けると発音体が接地する事で音が出る。発音体を金属管とすれば走行路面とこすれて音が発生する、ペダルの角度を水平にすれば離反し音が止まり、角度を傾けると路面に接地し、発音体が音を出す。角度を変える事で路面を押す力の強弱も変える事が出来、音色を変える事も出来る。押しつけ力を強くすれば高音になり、弱くすれば低音に出来る。発音体（３）の先を多角形の車輪にする事で路面を傷つけないで音を出す事も出来る。The invention according to claim 3 is a vehicle equipped with the vehicle approach notification device and the vehicle approach notification device according to claim 1, wherein the sounding body (3) is provided on a pedal (4) of a bicycle. A sounding body (3) is provided on the lower surface of the pedal of the bicycle, and when the pedal is horizontal, the sounding body (3) is away from the road surface. If the sounding body is made of a metal tube, it will rub against the road surface and sound will be generated. If the angle of the pedal is leveled, the sound will come off and the sound will stop. If the angle is tilted, the sounding body will touch the road surface and make sound. By changing the angle, you can also change the strength of pressing the road surface, you can also change the tone. If the pressing force is increased, the sound will be high, and if it is weakened, the sound will be low. By making the tip of the sound generator (3) a polygonal wheel, it is possible to make a sound without damaging the road surface.
請求項４の発明は車両構成部材（８）からバネ、ゴム等のクッション材を介して発音体（３）が車両構成部材に繋がれている請求項１、２、３いずれかに記載の車両接近報知装置並びに該車両接近報知装置を備えた車両である。車両構成部材（８）から直接金属管の発音体（３）を設けても本発明の効果は発揮できる。しかし振動を伴う発音体を、クッション材を介して車両構成部材（８）に繋ぐと、振動をクッション材に吸収あるいは減衰させながら繋ぐことが出来るので、取り付け箇所の耐久性があがり、発音体の姿勢変形にも柔軟性が生まれ、製品寿命が長持ちする。The invention according to claim 4 is the vehicle according to any one of claims 1, 2 and 3, wherein the sounding body (3) is connected to the vehicle constituent member from the vehicle constituent member (8) through a cushion material such as a spring or rubber. The vehicle includes an approach notification device and the vehicle approach notification device. The effect of the present invention can be exhibited even if the sound generator (3) of a metal tube is provided directly from the vehicle component (8). However, if the sounding body with vibration is connected to the vehicle component (8) via the cushioning material, the vibration can be connected to the cushioning material while being absorbed or attenuated. Flexibility is also created in posture deformation and the product life is long-lasting.
請求項５の発明は発音体（３）が、路面に接地し、音振動を出す現象を感知し、この現象を電気的信号で車両に伝え、この信号をマイク、アンプ、スピーカー等に繋ぎ、音を出す手段を車両に設けた事を特徴とする、請求項１、２、３、４いずれかに記載の車両接近報知装置並びに該車両接近報知装置を備えた車両である。実際に路面を走る車から伸びた発音体（３）が路面に接した所から音、振動を収集するので、走っている車の様子を一番正確に音源、振動源を電気的信号に変える事が出来、自然な音を再現できる。According to the invention of claim 5, the sounding body (3) is grounded on the road surface and senses a phenomenon of generating sound vibration, and this phenomenon is transmitted to the vehicle by an electrical signal, and this signal is connected to a microphone, amplifier, speaker, etc. The vehicle approach notification device according to any one of claims 1, 2, 3, and 4, and a vehicle including the vehicle approach notification device, characterized in that a means for generating sound is provided in the vehicle. The sounding body (3) that extends from the car that actually runs on the road surface collects sound and vibration from the place where it touches the road surface, so that the state of the car that is running most accurately changes the sound source and vibration source to electrical signals And can reproduce natural sounds.
請求項６の発明は発音体（３）を路面に対して、接地、離反、可能にする手段は、発音体に繋がれたワイヤーがブレーキレバーに繋がれている事を特徴とする請求項１に記載の車両接近報知装置並びに該車両接近報知装置を備えた車両である。ワイヤーの先を手の届くハンドル近くに設けた操作レバーに繋ぎ、そのレバー操作で、接地、離反を可能にする事は出来るが、ワイヤーの先をブレーキレバーに繋ぐ事で、ブレーキレバーを握ればワイヤーが引っ張られ、発音体（３）が接地し発音される、ワイヤーには長さ調節が出来る機能が付いている従来技術で、使い易いように調節できる。ブレーキレバーには通常遊びがあり、軽く握れば発音体（３）が接地し、強く握れば発音体（３）と共にブレーキも効く調節をする事で操作がし易くなる。The invention of claim 6 is characterized in that the means for grounding, separating, and enabling the sounding body (3) with respect to the road surface is characterized in that a wire connected to the sounding body is connected to a brake lever. The vehicle approach notification device described in 1) and a vehicle including the vehicle approach notification device. You can connect the tip of the wire to an operating lever near the handle that you can reach, and the lever can be grounded and separated, but if you hold the brake lever by connecting the tip of the wire to the brake lever The wire is pulled, and the sounding body (3) is grounded and sounded. The wire has a function capable of adjusting the length, and can be adjusted for ease of use. The brake lever normally has play, and if it is lightly gripped, the sounding body (3) is grounded, and if it is strongly gripped, the brake is effective together with the sounding body (3).
この発明は以上の様に、発明が解決しようとする課題を解決したものである。すなわち従来に無かった、警報音では無い、走行する路面との接触で音を発生させるものなので、走行速度に応じた音が出るので、人為的に聞こえる度合い少なく、歩行者に車両の接近を知らせる事が出来、更に簡単な方法なので産業化、普及実施化され易く、前記課題を解決出来る度合いが非常に高い。As described above, the present invention solves the problems to be solved by the invention. In other words, it is not an alarm sound, it is not an alarm sound, and it generates a sound when it touches the road surface it travels, so a sound according to the running speed is produced, so there is little human noise and the pedestrian is notified of the approach of the vehicle Since it is a simpler method, it can be easily industrialized and popularized, and the degree to which the above problems can be solved is very high.
発音する間隔を一定にする為の規格を作って自転車は自転車、自動車は自動車の発音時間間隔を規格統一化出来れば、歩行者に車両の迫って来る速度を周知され易い物も出来る。
If the standard for making the sounding interval constant is made and the sounding time interval of the bicycle is standardized for bicycles and cars, the speed at which the vehicle is approaching can be easily made known to pedestrians.
図１に示すのは自動車に本発明の車両接近報知装置を備えた車両の概略側面図である。詳細は実施例にて順次説明するFIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a vehicle provided with a vehicle approach notification device of the present invention in an automobile. Details will be sequentially described in the examples.
図１に示す概略側面図にはアクセルやブレーキペダルを踏む高さに位置にペダル（４）を設けた。昔の自動車にあった、クラッチペダルの位置である。ペダル（４）を踏むとアームＡ（１）が支軸（５）に回動自在に支えられているので先端がアームＢ（２）を押し上げる。すると支軸Ｂ（６）に回動自在に支えられているアームＢ（２）の先端は路面に向かって押し下げられ、路面に接地する。この図では星形車輪状の発音体（３）が先端に付いているので車輪状の発音体（３）が回り、路面を叩きながら車両が走行する。アームＢ（２）はバネＡ（７）を介して車両構成部材と星形車輪状の発音体（３）に繋がれているので、路面を叩く振動は車両構成部材に振動を伝えにくく保持されている。ペダル（４）を踏む行為を止めると星形車輪状の発音体（３）は離反し路面から離れ、音が止まる。ペダル（４）を踏む行為を止めると元の位置に戻る仕掛けは、バネを介入さす等、従来技術を採用する。ペダル（４）が音を出す行為の、オン、オフの切り替えをする手段の一例である。この例でこの発明の意図はお分かり頂けたと思う。オン、オフの切り替えは手動レバーやモーターを使った電動の入り切りスイッチ、液晶画面を使ったＩＣ技術、他の既存技術でもかまわない。In the schematic side view shown in FIG. 1, a pedal (4) is provided at a height at which the accelerator and the brake pedal are depressed. This is the position of the clutch pedal in an old car. When the pedal (4) is depressed, the arm A (1) is rotatably supported by the support shaft (5), so that the tip pushes up the arm B (2). Then, the tip of the arm B (2) rotatably supported by the support shaft B (6) is pushed down toward the road surface and comes into contact with the road surface. In this figure, since the star-shaped wheel-like sounding body (3) is attached to the tip, the wheel-like sounding body (3) rotates and the vehicle travels while hitting the road surface. Since the arm B (2) is connected to the vehicle component and the star-shaped wheel-like sounding body (3) via the spring A (7), the vibration that hits the road surface is held difficult to transmit the vibration to the vehicle component. ing. When the act of stepping on the pedal (4) is stopped, the star-shaped wheel-like sound generator (3) separates from the road surface and the sound stops. The mechanism for returning to the original position when the act of stepping on the pedal (4) is stopped employs a conventional technique such as interposing a spring. It is an example of a means for switching on and off of the action of the pedal (4) producing sound. You can see the intention of this invention in this example. Switching on and off can be done by an electric on / off switch using a manual lever or motor, IC technology using a liquid crystal display, or other existing technology.
発音体（３）はアームＢ（２）その物が発音するものでもかまわない。その場合は星形車輪状の発音体（３）は必要が無い。例えば金属管だけでも良いし、金属管の中に小石を入れた楽器のマスカラの様な物、鈴をつけた物等、多種の方法が考えられる。先端をゴム製の車輪にして金属管の中に小石を入れた物をアームＢ（２）として使えば路面を傷付ける事なく、発音が出来る。ゴム製の車輪の一部を切り欠いた物や、突起を設けた車輪を使えば、音の強弱やリズムを付ける事も出来る。The sounding body (3) may be the one that arm B (2) sounds. In that case, the star-shaped sounding body (3) is not necessary. For example, only a metal tube may be used, and various methods such as a musical instrument mascara with a pebble in a metal tube and a bell attached may be considered. If you use a rubber wheel at the tip and a pebble in a metal tube as the arm B (2), you can produce sound without damaging the road surface. If you use a rubber wheel with a part of it cut out or a wheel with protrusions, you can add sound intensity and rhythm.
図２は本発明を自転車ペダルに設けた斜視図である。多くの自転車は水平状態のとき、ペダル下面から路面までの間隔寸法は約１０ｃｍである。このペダルの下面に発音体（３）を設けた物が図２に描かれている。発音体はペダルの前後長さより長くしたり、曲げたりしておく。ペダルは回転できるので任意の角度に傾けられる。発音体は傾けた時、接地出来る長さにする。発音させる場合はペダルを後ろに傾ける。すると発音体の先端は路面に接地し、接触音が発生する。接触音は路面の平滑度や凹凸度合により、又発音体の状態により種々、摩擦音や打撃音等、色んな音が出るので、適当なものを採用する。発音体を金属管とし中間にバネを設ける事で路面から受ける衝撃を和らげる物も出来る。FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bicycle pedal provided with the present invention. When many bicycles are in a horizontal state, the distance from the lower surface of the pedal to the road surface is about 10 cm. The thing which provided the sounding body (3) on the lower surface of this pedal is drawn by FIG. The sounding body should be longer or bent than the length of the pedal. Since the pedal can rotate, it can be tilted at any angle. The sounding body should be long enough to touch when tilted. Tilt the pedal backward to make it sound. Then, the tip of the sounding body contacts the road surface and a contact sound is generated. Since various sounds such as frictional sounds and striking sounds are generated depending on the smoothness and unevenness of the road surface and the state of the sounding body, an appropriate sound is adopted. By using a sound generator as a metal tube and a spring in the middle, it is possible to reduce the impact received from the road surface.
請求項５の発明は発音体（３）が、路面に接地し、音振動を出す現象を感知し、この現象を電気的信号で車両に伝え、この信号をアンプ、スピーカー等に繋ぎ、音を出す手段を車両に設けた事を特徴とする、請求項１に記載の車両接近報知装置並びに該車両接近報知装置を備えた車両である。実際に路面を走る車から伸びた発音体（３）が路面に接した所から音、振動をひらうので、走っている車の様子を一番正確に音源、振動源を電気信号に変える事が出来、自然な音を再現できる。発音体に直接音を出させなくても、発音体を振動、衝撃を伝えるセンサーとし、センサーによってひらい上げた振動、衝撃を電気信号に変え、これをアンプやスピーカーを使って増幅したり、変調する事で多種の音振動を発する物が出来る。この場合、原因事象が接地した時に出来る、振動や衝撃なので、リアルな物が出来、自然に近い物がつくれる。The invention of claim 5 senses the phenomenon that the sound generator (3) is grounded on the road surface and generates sound vibrations, transmits this phenomenon to the vehicle by an electrical signal, and connects this signal to an amplifier, a speaker, etc. The vehicle approach notifying device according to claim 1 and a vehicle provided with the vehicle approach notifying device according to claim 1, characterized in that a means for taking out is provided in the vehicle. The sounding body (3) that extends from the car that actually runs on the road generates sound and vibration from the place where it touches the road, so that the state of the car that is running most accurately changes the sound source and vibration source to electrical signals. Can reproduce the natural sound. Even if the sounding body does not emit sound directly, the sounding body is used as a sensor that transmits vibrations and shocks, and the vibrations and shocks generated by the sensor are converted into electrical signals that can be amplified or modulated using an amplifier or speakers. By doing so, you can make things that emit various kinds of sound vibration. In this case, since the cause event is the vibration or impact that can be generated when the ground is touched, a realistic object can be made and a natural object can be created.
図３に示す請求項６の発明は発音体（３）の先をワイヤーロープで繋ぎその先を自転車のブレーキレバーに、繋いだ側面図である。ブレーキレバーには遊びがある。ブレーキレバーに発音体につながったワイヤーも繋ぎ、ブレーキレバーを握ると発音体が接地し、更に強く握るとブレーキがかかる。ブレーキレバーとは別のレバーやスイッチを設けて使う事も考えられるが、使い易さを考えると、ブレーキレバーに発音体につながったワイヤーも繋がっている方が使い易く、レバーを軽く握ると発音体が接地し、音が出、更に強く握るとブレーキもかかる。この例で分るように実施例は簡単な物で色々考えられる。The invention of claim 6 shown in FIG. 3 is a side view in which the tip of the sounding body (3) is connected with a wire rope and the tip is connected to the brake lever of the bicycle. There is play in the brake lever. The wire connected to the sounding body is also connected to the brake lever. When the brake lever is gripped, the sounding body is grounded, and when it is gripped further, the brake is applied. It may be possible to use a lever or switch that is separate from the brake lever, but for ease of use, it is easier to use the brake lever connected to the wire connected to the sounding body. The body comes into contact with the ground, makes a noise, and brakes are applied when gripping more strongly. As can be seen in this example, the embodiment is simple and can be variously considered.
現代は不況である、政府は緩やかな回復基調だと言うが庶民には実感できない。何故か、格差社会と言われるように金が回らないのである。高額累進税制度が緩和され、一部の金持ちに財産が集中し、企業の内部留保が増え、おまけにタックスヘイブン迄、庶民に金が回らない、世の大きな仕組みになっている。価格競争に晒されない、企業が魅力を感じるアイデアが必要だと感じている。安価至上主義でしか戦略を持たない企業は、値引きを下請け企業に強い、すぐに壊れる安価商品や海外商品を世にばらまき、今までリターナブル（繰り返し反復使用）商品であった物を、使い捨て商品にし、廃棄物を増やす事で人件費を減らし、安価を維持している。大量の廃棄物は、結局行政の負担と成って、環境問題に繋がり、必ず人類を脅かす。明日を生きる為に廃棄物を減らす事など無頓着である、と言うか、分っていても明日を生きる為には、価格競争に打ち勝つためには、法にさえ触れなければゴミを増やす事など眼中にない、と言うかその余裕が無い。やはり価格競争に晒されない、環境負荷の無い産業雇用の創出が必要だと思う。世が必要としているものであれば、採用企業が出て来る。人々の雇用を守る産業が生まれる事を願うものである。It is said that the present is a recession, and the government is on a gradual recovery trend, but the public cannot realize it. For some reason, money doesn't turn as it is called a disparity society. The high progressive tax system has been relaxed, the wealth has been concentrated on some rich people, the company's internal reserves have increased, and the tax hasn has been added to the general public. I feel that companies need an idea that makes them attractive without being exposed to price competition. Companies that have a strategy only on the basis of low-cost supremacy are strong in subcontracting companies, disseminating cheap products and overseas products that break quickly, and making products that have been returnable (repeated and repeated use) products into disposable products, By increasing waste, labor costs are reduced and low costs are maintained. A large amount of waste eventually becomes a burden on the government, which leads to environmental problems and always threatens humanity. In order to live tomorrow even if it is known, it is inevitable to reduce waste to live tomorrow. To overcome price competition, increase garbage if you do not even touch the law. It ’s not in my eyes, or I ca n’t afford it. I think it is necessary to create industrial jobs that are not exposed to price competition and have no environmental impact. If it is what the world needs, employers will come out. I hope that an industry will be created to protect people's employment.
