Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung zur Ermittlung des Verschmutzungsgrades zumindest eines Glasscheibenabschnittes eines Fahrzeugleuchtenmoduls.The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for determining the degree of soiling of at least one glass pane section of a vehicle lighting module.
Herkömmliche Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Kraftfahrzeuge, Lastwagen oder Motorräder weisen unterschiedliche Beleuchtungssysteme auf, die beispielsweise mehrere Fahrzeugleuchtenmodule aufweisen, die an der Front- oder Heckseite sowie an den beiden Längsseiten eines Fahrzeugs angebracht sind.Conventional vehicles, especially motor vehicles, trucks or motorcycles have different lighting systems, for example, have a plurality of vehicle lamp modules, which are mounted on the front or rear side and on the two longitudinal sides of a vehicle.
Derartige Fahrzeugleuchtenmodule bestehen aus einem einen Innenraum aufweisenden Leuchtengehäuse mit zumindest einem Glasscheibenabschnitt, über welchen das von zumindest einer im Innenraum des Leuchtengehäuses angeordneten Leuchte erzeugte Licht nach außen abgestrahlt wird. Die abgestrahlte Lichtleistung der Leuchte ist bei einem hohen Verschmutzungsgrad des zumindest einen Glasscheibenabschnittes, beispielsweise eines Klarglasscheibenabschnittes oder eines Streuscheibenabschnittes deutlich reduziert. Hierdurch ist sowohl die Ausleuchtung der Fahrbahn als auch die Sichtbarkeit des Fahrzeuges durch den Gegenverkehr verschlechtert.Such vehicle lamp modules consist of a light housing having an interior space with at least one glass pane section, via which the light generated by at least one light arranged in the interior of the lamp housing light is emitted to the outside. The radiated light output of the luminaire is significantly reduced at a high degree of contamination of the at least one glass pane section, for example a clear glass pane section or a diffuser pane section. As a result, both the illumination of the road and the visibility of the vehicle is deteriorated by oncoming traffic.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, den Verschmutzungsgrad zumindest des Glasscheibenabschnitts eines Fahrzeugleuchtenmoduls zu erkennen, um geeignete Maßnahmen zur Beseitigung der dadurch bedingten verschlechterten Sichtverhältnisse für den Fahrer als auch die Sichtbarkeit des Fahrzeuges für die weiteren Verkehrsteilnehmer einleiten zu können.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide a way to detect the degree of contamination at least the glass pane portion of a vehicle lamp module to appropriate measures to eliminate the consequent deteriorated visibility for the driver and the visibility of the vehicle for the other road users to be able to initiate.
Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a method and an arrangement according to the independent claims. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Zur Ermittlung des Verschmutzungsgrades des zumindest einen Glasscheibenabschnittes eines Fahrzeugleuchtenmoduls, bei dem über zumindest eine im Fahrzeugleuchtenmodul angeordnete Leuchte Licht mit einer Lichtleistung erzeugt wird, wird vorteilhaft die Lichtleistung des durch den zumindest einen verschmutzten Glasscheibenabschnitt hindurch tretenden Lichtes und/oder die Lichtleistung des durch den zumindest einen verschmutzten Glasscheibenabschnitt reflektierte Lichtes gemessen und abhängig davon der Verschmutzungsgrad des zumindest einen Glasscheibenabschnittes ermittelt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Lichtleistung der Lampeneinheit abhängig vom ermittelten Verschmutzungsgrad des Glasscheibenabschnittes des Fahrzeugleuchtenmoduls angepasst werden kann, um somit auch bei verschmutzen Fahrzeugleuchtenmodulen eine vorgegebene Mindestleuchtleistung sicherstellen zu können. Hierbei ist eine Anpassung der Lichtleistung nur so weit möglich, dass die Lebensdauer der Leuchte nicht merklich reduziert wird.In order to determine the degree of soiling of the at least one glass pane section of a vehicle lighting module in which light with a light output is generated via at least one luminaire arranged in the vehicle luminaire module, the light output of the light passing through the at least one contaminated glass pane section and / or the light output of the at least luminaire is advantageously achieved measured a dirty glass pane portion of reflected light and determined depending on the degree of contamination of the at least one glass pane section. This has the advantage that the light output of the lamp unit can be adjusted depending on the determined degree of contamination of the glass pane portion of the vehicle lamp module, so as to be able to ensure a predetermined minimum luminous power even with dirty vehicle lamp modules. Here, an adjustment of the light output is only possible so far that the life of the lamp is not significantly reduced.
Erfindungsgemäß wird abhängig vom ermittelten Verschmutzungsgrad zumindest eine weitere im Fahrzeugleuchtenmodul vorgesehene Leuchte und/oder ein weiteres Fahrzeugleuchtenmodul zu- oder abgeschaltet.According to the invention, at least one further lamp provided in the vehicle lighting module and / or another vehicle lighting module is switched on or off depending on the determined degree of contamination.
Die Lichtleistung wird mittels einer im Fahrzeugleuchtenmodul integrierten und/oder im Bereich des Glasscheibenabschnittes des Fahrzeugleuchtenmoduls angeordneten Sensoreinheit gemessen und zur Ermittlung des Verschmutzungsgrades die gemessene Lichtleistung mit einem vorgegebenen Lichtleistungssollwert verglichen. Anschließend wird abhängig vom ermittelten Verschmutzungsgrad die Lichtleistung des von der Leuchte erzeugten Lichtes erhöht, um besonders vorteilhaft die verschmutzungsbedingte Reduzierung der Lichtleistung des Fahrzeugleuchtenmoduls zumindest teilweise zu kompensieren.The light output is measured by means of an integrated in the vehicle lamp module and / or arranged in the region of the glass pane portion of the vehicle lamp module sensor unit and compared to determine the degree of contamination, the measured light output with a predetermined light power setpoint. Subsequently, will depending on the determined degree of contamination increases the light output of the light generated by the lamp to compensate for the pollution-related reduction of the light output of the vehicle lamp module at least partially particularly advantageous.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ wird abhängig vom ermittelten Verschmutzungsgrad zumindest ein im Fahrzeug vorgesehenes Leuchtenreinigungssystem gesteuert oder geregelt.Additionally or alternatively, depending on the determined degree of contamination, at least one lamp cleaning system provided in the vehicle is controlled or regulated.
Vorteilhaft wird der ermittelte Verschmutzungsgrad dem Fahrer des Fahrzeuges über eine Anzeigeneinheit angezeigt.Advantageously, the determined degree of contamination is displayed to the driver of the vehicle via a display unit.

Es zeigen:Further advantageous embodiments of the invention, in particular an arrangement for determining the degree of soiling at least one glass pane section of a vehicle lighting module connected to a control unit are described in more detail by means of selected exemplary embodiments by means of drawings.
