Turn signal indicator device

摘要

There is provided a turn signal indicator device that drives a turn signal indicators provided on a vehicle based on on/off states of a switch, and includes an operation state discrimination part that discriminates between first turn signal indication for lane change of the vehicle and second turn signal indication for course change of the vehicle based on on/off signals supplied from the switch.

1. A turn signal indicator device that drives a turn signal indicator provided on a vehicle, the turn signal indicator device comprising:
an operation lever swingable from a neutral position disposed between a first operation position and a second operation position to the first operation position or the second operation position; a switch to be turned on/off when the operation lever is swung to the first operation position or the second operation position; an operation state discrimination part that discriminates, based on an on/off signal supplied from the switch, between first turn signal indication performed for lane change of a vehicle and second turn signal indication performed for course change of the vehicle; a drive part that switches timing for energizing the turn signal indicator in accordance with the turn signal indication discriminated by the operation state discrimination part; and a pressure sensor that detects a quantitative value of magnitude of pressing force applied to the operation lever when the operation lever is operated to the first operation position or the second operation position, wherein the operation state discrimination part discriminates between the first turn signal indication and the second turn signal indication based on a difference in the magnitude of pressing force detected by the pressure sensor.
