Abstract
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lenkrad eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit integrierter Leuchtanzeige, über welche dem Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs eine Information übermittelbar ist, wobei die genannte Information einen ergonomisch günstigen Griffbereich der Hände des Fahrers betrifft, welcher mit bestimmter Lichtintensität und/oder bestimmter Farbe und/oder mit bestimmter Leuchtfläche angezeigt wird. Vorzugsweise wird dabei dem Fahrer im Rahmen einer Verdrehbewegung des Lenkrads angezeigt, wann und an welcher Stelle ein Umgreifen ergonomisch günstig ist.The invention relates to a steering wheel of a motor vehicle with integrated indicator, via which the driver of the motor vehicle information can be transmitted, said information relates to an ergonomic grip area of the driver's hands, which with certain light intensity and / or color and / or certain Illuminated area is displayed. Preferably, the driver is shown within the scope of a rotational movement of the steering wheel when and at which point embracing is ergonomically favorable.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lenkrad eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit integrierter Leuchtanzeige, über welche dem Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs eine Information übermittelbar ist. Zum Stand der Technik wird auf die
In der genannten Schrift ist ein Fahrzeug-Lenkrad beschrieben, auf dessen Kranz eine Vielzahl von Licht emittierenden Elementen vorgesehen sind, mittels derer unterschiedliche Hinweise oder Warnungen an den Fahrer des Fahrzeugs übermittelt werden können.In the cited document, a vehicle steering wheel is described on the garland a plurality of light-emitting elements are provided, by means of which different instructions or warnings can be transmitted to the driver of the vehicle.
Hiermit soll nun eine weitere für den Fahrer eines Kraftfahrzeugs äußerst hilfreiche und in direktem Zusammenhang mit seinem Lenkrad stehende Information aufgezeigt werden, welche in besonders vorteilhafter Weise auch optisch direkt am Lenkrad angezeigt und damit dem Fahrer übermittelt werden kann.This is to show a more helpful for the driver of a motor vehicle extremely helpful and directly related to his steering wheel information, which can be displayed in a particularly advantageous manner visually directly on the steering wheel and thus transmitted to the driver.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist für ein Lenkrad nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die genannte Information einen ergonomisch günstigen Griffbereich der Hände des Fahrers betrifft, welcher mit bestimmter Lichtintensität und/oder bestimmter Farbe und/oder mit bestimmter Leuchtfläche angezeigt wird. Bevorzugt ist dabei vorgesehen, dass dem Fahrer im Rahmen einer Verdrehbewegung des Lenkrads angezeigt wird, wann und an welcher Stelle ein Umgreifen mit seinen Händen am Lenkradkranz ergonomisch günstig ist.The solution to this problem is for a steering wheel according to the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that said information relates to an ergonomically favorable grip area of the driver's hands, which is displayed with a certain light intensity and / or color and / or specific light area. Preferably, it is provided that the driver is displayed as part of a twisting movement of the steering wheel when and at which point embracing his hands on the steering wheel rim is ergonomically favorable.
Es ist bekannt, dass ein Fahrer eines Kraftfahrzeugs sein Lenkrad zum Lenkrad des Fahrzeugs bei Geradeausfahrt am besten im mittleren Bereich mit seiner rechten und seinen linken Hand am Lenkradkranz ergreifen sollte, d.h. dort wo bei Übertragung des Lenkrads auf eine Uhr die dritte und die neunte Stunde angezeigt wird. Zumindest theoretisch sollte dies jedem Fahrer bekannt sein, jedoch wird dies oftmals vergessen oder nicht berücksichtigt, weshalb vorliegend vorgeschlagen wird, dies dem Fahrer durch ein Lichtsignal im Lenkradkranz kontinuierlich oder zumindest dann anzuzeigen, wenn der Fahrer das Lenkrad nicht an diesen Stellen festhält. Beispielsweise kann mittels einer geeigneten Sensorik durch eine elektronische Steuereinheit festgestellt werden, ob der Fahrer das Lenkrad in den ergonomisch günstigsten Abschnitten des Lenkrad-Kranzes festhält, wonach bejahendenfalls keine Leucht-Anzeige erfolgen muss. Hält hingegen der Fahrer sein Lenkrad nicht entsprechend fest, so wird ihm die Notwendigkeit hierfür unter Angabe des ergonomisch sinnvollsten Haltebereichs mittels einer Leuchtanzeige am Lenkradkranz signalisiert.It is known that a driver of a motor vehicle should best take his steering wheel to the steering wheel of the vehicle when driving straight ahead in the middle region with his right and left hand on the steering wheel rim, i. where the third and the ninth hour are displayed when the steering wheel is transferred to a watch. At least theoretically, this should be known to every driver, but this is often forgotten or not taken into account, which is why it is suggested in the present case to the driver by a light signal in the steering wheel rim continuously or at least when the driver does not hold the steering wheel at these locations. For example, it can be determined by means of a suitable sensor system by an electronic control unit, whether the driver holds the steering wheel in the ergonomically most favorable sections of the steering wheel rim, after which, if necessary, no light display must be made. If, on the other hand, the driver does not keep his steering wheel firmly in place, he will be notified of the need to do so by stating the most ergonomically useful holding range by means of a light indicator on the steering wheel rim.
Insbesondere kann dies beim Lenken, d.h. beim Verdrehen des Lenkrads hilfreich sein, wenn der Fahrer mit seinem Fahrzeug eine Kurve befahren möchte. In Abhängigkeit vom zu befahrenden Kurvenradius ist das Lenkrad um einen mehr oder weniger großen Verdrehwinkel zu verdrehen, wobei es manchem Fahrer Schwierigkeiten bereitet, in der jeweils günstigsten Lenkrad-Verdrehposition umzugreifen, d.h. seine beiden Hände zeitlich nacheinander an einer anderen günstigen Stelle des Lenkrad-Kranzes zu positionieren. Letzteres kann dem Fahrer mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Lenkrad vereinfacht werden, indem ihm die jeweils günstigsten Griffpositionen angezeigt werden. Letzteres kann durch Aufleuchten geeigneter Segmente des Lenkradkranzes erfolgen.In particular, this can be done while steering, i. Helpful when turning the steering wheel, if the driver wants to drive a curve with his vehicle. Depending on the radius of curvature to be traveled, the steering wheel is to be rotated by a more or less large angle of rotation, whereby it is difficult for some drivers to engage in the respectively most favorable steering wheel rotational position, i. to position his two hands in chronological succession at another convenient point of the steering wheel rim. The latter can be simplified to the driver with a steering wheel according to the invention by the most favorable grip positions are displayed to him. The latter can be done by lighting appropriate segments of the steering wheel rim.
