The individual control units are connected to one another via a bus system, the bus system having a hierarchical structure. The advent of modern means of communication, especially of mobile phones and tablet computers, these are used to display information and to enter control commands. In addition, more and more previously mechanically operated components are electrified in a motor vehicle. So nowadays hardly cranks for operating the side windows in a motor vehicle are conceivable.

So far, the air vents are operated in the interior of a motor vehicle mechanically by a user. This, too, will change in the next generations of vehicles towards the electrification of the air vents.

An adjustment of the air guiding means and / or further components via a central operating unit and / or independently as a function of the detectable data values of sensors has not previously been considered and would also burden the bus system present in the motor vehicle, as stated, with further data communication.

Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a system which makes it possible to provide in an existing data-related hierarchical structure a special control unit which exclusively serves to control the components of the air feed into the interior of a motor vehicle. At the same time, a possibility is shown for these comfort-related components, so that the control unit according to the invention adapts the components of the air supply into the interior of a motor vehicle to the current conditions in the interior of a motor vehicle on the basis of detectable data values of sensors.

In 1 is a construction of a unidirectional bus system 1-1 shown in which a control unit 1-5 is integrable. The bus system 1-1 consists inter alia of a second control unit 1-2 , as so-called "master", which is also called clock-master, and others, in the bus system 1-1 arranged bus components 1-3 . 1-4 , With these bus components 1-3 . 1-4 it is, for example, the air conditioning or another arranged in a motor vehicle comfort component. The components 1-2 . 1-3 . 1-4 of the bus system 1-1 are all together via the bus system 1-1 connected. The second control unit 1-2 controls the function of the bus system 1-1 as well as the timing for sending the data packets in the bus system 1-1 , The other components 1-3 and 1-4 are with fixed addresses at the second control unit 1-2 Registered. This means that the second control unit 1-2 these network participants 1-3 and 1-4 can address exactly with address and send these participants with address their data.

The control unit 1-5 can be in the network of the bus system 1-1 be easily integrated. The control unit has this 1-5 an interface 1-6 connected to the bus system 1-1 can be connected. About the interface 1-6 communicates the control unit 1-5 with the bus system 1-1 and the components there 1-2 . 1-3 . 1-4 , The control unit 1-5 a corresponding address can be assigned. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the interface 1-6 in the bus system 1-1 transmitted data to a presettable address and, if data is sent for this address, this from the bus system 1-1 extracts. Such an approach is particularly relevant when the bus system 1-1 should not be extended extremely. In this case, the control unit takes over 1-5 with the interface 1-6 the task as slave in the bus system 1-1 and waits for a corresponding identification address.

The control unit 1-5 owns a microcomputer 1-7 which is embodied in a particular embodiment of the invention as a microcomputer unit, microprocessor unit or microcontroller. The control unit 1-5 are in the execution after 1 three air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 each having at least one mechanical adjustment device that can be operated via a servo or electric motor, assigned. In each of the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 can or is at least one limit switch and / or arranged at least one sensor. By means of the limit switch, the possible freedom of movement of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 limited, so that an end position can not be exceeded. The at least one sensor is used to detect setting data of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 , which from the control unit 1-5 are queriable. It is therefore the control unit 1-5 with each air vent 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 and connected to each at least one limit switch and / or at least one sensor. The control unit 1-5 controls the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 , 1-11 and their components and adjusts the air vents on the arranged in the air vents and electrically actuated components. A control command for such a measure, for example, is the signal of insertion of the ignition key in the motor vehicle, with the same time the driver's identification, which is assigned to this key, is transmitted. If such an address data record is transmitted, this recognizes the control unit 1-5 , extracts these data from the data stream, evaluates them and controls their associated components, such as the servo or the electric motor of one of the air nozzles 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 , which serves to adjust the mechanical adjustment of the Luftausströmers on.

The control unit 1-5 indicates in its execution according to 1 a storage unit 1-8 on. In the storage unit 1-8 For example, multiple position data, motion sequences, animations, and / or adjustment data may be provided to the control unit 1-5 to be connected air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 be stored, and z. B. based on the driver identification, the control unit 1-5 the bus system 1-1 removes, and each of the individual connected Luftausströmern 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 associated adjustment parameters or setting configurations.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the one memory unit 1-8 a read-only memory, for example in the form of a "static RAM".

A user now represents by means of a control unit, the in 1 not shown, and via electronic / electrical, to the air vent 1-9 arranged actuating units, such as actuator and / or electric motors, the air vent, as he likes to set for himself while driving, a. These data are from the control unit 1-5 in the storage unit 1-8 , in each case assigned to the corresponding Luftausströmer and optionally stored for the corresponding key identifier.

The control unit 1-5 now controls as soon as the vehicle is turned off and the vehicle key is removed and this information via the bus system 1-1 is provided, the air vent 1-9 in a neutral starting position or a closed position, for example, the air vent is closed by a folding mechanism, so that there is no longer any opening of the air vent to the interior of the vehicle. If the vehicle is now restarted via the vehicle key, this recognizes the control unit 1-5 , removes from the storage unit 1-8 the corresponding associated data and then adjust according to the air vents 1-9 with the adjustment configuration data, as the driver has stored or as the air vent 1-9 was set at the time the driver removed the vehicle key or parked the vehicle.

The data for setting the air vent 1-9 become central in the control unit 1-5 in their storage unit 1-8 stored and will not be sent to the second control unit 1-2 and / or to one in the bus system 1-1 transferred memory unit transferred. This relieves the bus system 1-1 and reduces the amount of data and at the same time makes it possible to flexibly adjust the possibilities of adjusting the air vent 1-9 to enter and the control unit 1-5 to specifically adapt to an air vent. This also makes it possible at a later date to retrofit an air vent with several electrically operated adjustment options. It only needs the control unit 1-5 be reprogrammed accordingly.

In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the control unit 1-5 in the air vent 1-9 integrated. Thus, when a new air vent is integrated, the entire bus system does not have to 1-1 adapted, it is sufficient if an adjustment of the control unit 1-5 he follows.

The control unit 1-5 is with the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 connected in the way that the control unit 1-5 the individual actuators or electric motors or the other elements of the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 showing the settings and parameters of the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 effect accordingly, recognizes or accepts their addresses for control.

The second control unit 1-2 , as a higher-level control unit, corresponds with the driver who controls the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 want to stop in the vehicle. Look for a not in 1 shown input system, the driver can specifically adjust the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 make. These adjustment data are then from the second control unit 1-2 over the bus system 1-1 to the control unit 1-5 which then convert this setting data into control data for each of the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 converts and the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 and their electrical components, the one or more actuators or electric motors, controls accordingly. The actuators or electric motors then provide the fins or lamella blocks and / or the closing flap of the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 accordingly.

The second control unit 1-2 is arranged in the motor vehicle and connected to the existing bus system there. The second control unit 1-2 is data technology and data organization of the control unit 1-5 superior, and it's from the second control unit 1-2 over the bus system 1-1 targeted to the interface 1-6 the control unit 1-5 Instructions, or even a single instruction, to make a setting for one or more of the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 transmittable. The control unit 1-5 , which receives this instruction to execute a setting, converts it into at least one drive command for the one or more air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 and transfers it to the one or more air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 and their associated actuators or electric motors, which then execute the drive command or the drive commands and actuate the slats, the slat blocks or the closing flap.

The control unit 1-5 and the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 are, for example, designed as a separate bus system in the form of a Local Interconnect Network, also referred to as LIN for short. Such a LIN bus is a serial communication system and is based on a single-wire bus. A LIN bus is easy to set up and inexpensive to implement.

In the embodiment according to 1 is the LIN bus from the control unit 1-5 which acts as master in the LIN bus and the three air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 that act as a slave. But it can also be the LIN bus between the actuators or electric motors of the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 and the control unit 1-5 be formed. Each slave must have its own control unit to receive the data.

The control unit 1-5 has the knowledge about the temporal order of the data to be transmitted. The data is either from the air vents 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 to the control unit 1-5 when requested by the latter. Such a request is made by the control unit 1-5 by sending out a header identified by a particular message address. Afterwards, the air vent addressed in the header is placed 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 the data bytes requested in the header on the bus.

A data transfer in the LIN bus always takes place via a request, which consists of a header and data with Nutzbites. These data are available to each slave for reception; their acquisition depends solely on the decision of the associated ECUs. It can always be a data transfer, a parallel data transmission is not provided.

All data to be transmitted is transmitted once within one cycle. The chronological order is defined in a control table. This can be changed as needed.

In the storage unit 1-8 the control unit 1-5 are at least three mechanical adjustment positions for the at least one mechanical adjusting device of each Luftausströmers 1-9 . 1-10 . 1-11 stored, and each of these at least three mechanical adjustment positions are each associated with control command, which the control unit 1-5 to the at least one actuator of the air vents 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 each transmits when one of these at least three positions of the mechanical actuator is set.

The first of the at least three mechanical adjustment positions of the mechanical actuator of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 is the position of the mechanical actuator in which the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 is closed, a second of the at least three mechanical adjustment positions of the mechanical actuator of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 is the position in which the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 is fully open and the third of the at least three mechanical adjustment positions of the mechanical actuator of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 is that position of the mechanical actuator in which the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 assumes a position lying between the first and the second setting positions.

The control unit 1-5 transmits time-spaced drive commands to an actuator of one of the air vents 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 , which is one of the three aforementioned mechanical adjustment positions for the mechanical adjusting device of the air vents 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 represents, so that the mechanical adjusting device and thus the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 performs a continuous movement.

This continuous movement of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 that the mechanical actuator of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 here is a kind of animation of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 so that it performs continuous movements and through this continuous movement of the air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 In the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, a wave-like air flow is generated.

It is the other sensors or sensor units 1-12 . 1-13 . 1-14 . 1-15 present, which data on the current conditions in the interior or the environment of the motor vehicle capture and processing for the control units 1-2 and 1-5.

For example, a sensor unit 1-12 present, which detects the occupancy of seats in the vehicle. Based on the occupancy of the seats represents the control unit 1-5 the at least one air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 in the passenger compartment according to the actuators, by means of which the control unit 1-5 respectively. 1-2 the at least one air vent 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 can adjust, as it is almost optimal in the current seat occupancy and various preselected adjustment parameters to create a so-called feel-good climate for the occupants.

If, for example, only the driver's seat is occupied, then the corresponding control unit provides 1-5 those air vents 1-9 to 1-11 so that the driver has an optimal feel-good climate. It will be the air vents 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 , which are located far away from the driver, adjusted so that they guide the air in the direction of the driver and at the same time the other air vents 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 adjusted so that the driver is supplied almost fresh air free with fresh air.

If, for example, the driver's seat and the passenger's seat are occupied, the air vents arranged in the area of the rear seats become 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 supplied with less fresh air than the air vents 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 , which are assigned to the front seats.

Are all seats occupied in the vehicle, so the control unit 1-5 the air vents 1-9 ; 1-10 ; 1-11 in such a way that each of the passengers is sufficiently supplied with supplied fresh air, so that each passenger, and also the driver, are in a comfortable climate.

In this way, based on the seat occupancy, the air supply can be varied.

At the sensor unit 1-13 For example, these are sensors which detect the position of the side windows. For example, if the side window is lowered on the driver's side and the side window on the passenger side closed and both the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat are occupied, controls the control unit 1-5 the air vents 1-9 to 1-11 such that the passenger sits almost free of draft and the driver sits directly in a stream of air.

At the sensor unit 1-14 These are air quality sensors located in or near the air vents 1-9 to 1-11 are arranged. If these detect a drop in the air quality, the control unit diminishes 1-5 the air flow rate until the air quality again exceeds a pre-settable threshold.

The sensor unit 1-15 consists in the execution according to 1 from temperature sensors, one sensor detecting the outside temperature and another sensor detecting the temperature inside the vehicle. The control unit 1-5 respectively. 1-2 controls the air conditioning unit in the vehicle so that the temperature difference of both sensors does not exceed a predefinable value. Advantageously, a hysteresis of five degrees Celsius is preselected.

If, for example, it is detected by an intended sensor unit that a cool box is connected in the trunk or that - in the case of a station wagon, an animal is in the trunk, the control unit provides 1-5 the air vents 1-9 to 1-11 so that even the area of the boot fresh air is streamed, so that this area is supplied with fresh air; if the air conditioning system of the motor vehicle is switched on, the control unit ensures 1-5 that even cooled air gets into the trunk.

Furthermore, the solar radiation can be detected by means of sensors and the control unit can be used based on the detected value 1-5 the air vents 1-9 to 1-11 a, so that in the motor vehicle interior for the passengers almost felt optimal feel-good climate is generated.

Another value that the control unit 1-5 considered, is the past period since the start of the motor vehicle. Known, only a warm engine in cool seasons and low outside temperatures heat the supply air into the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, the control unit diminishes 1-5 the amount of air to be supplied to the interior when it is to be heated, as long as the engine is still cold (in internal combustion engines). Only when a sufficient amount of heated air can be supplied to the interior, increases the control unit 1-5 the air flow rate. Alternatively, the control unit closes 1-5 the air vent 1-9 to 1-11 , which is not intended for direct air supply to the windscreen and / or side windows.

This avoids that a vehicle occupant is "puffed" with cold air. The feel-good climate in the interior should be preserved.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the control unit 1-5 based on the data coming from a navigation unit, the air vents 1-9 to 1-11 controls. Detects the control unit 1-5 For example, an entrance of the motor vehicle in a tunnel, it reduces the air flow rate and / or closes the air supply, so that no pollutants in the form of exhaust gases from the outside penetrate into the interior. It is then automatically switched to recirculation.
