Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeug-Lenkrad mit zumindest einem auf diesem angeordneten Schalter oder Taster, der in zumindest zwei im wesentlichen senkrecht aufeinander stehenden Richtungen betätigt werden kann. Zum technischen Umfeld wird bspw. auf die DE 100 41 590 A1 verwiesen. The invention relates to a vehicle steering wheel with at least one on it arranged switch or button, which in at least two essentially perpendicular directions can be operated. To the technical environment, reference is made, for example, to DE 100 41 590 A1.
Im bekannten Stand der Technik, wonach viele einfache Drucktaster oder Schalter auf einem Lenkrad angeordnet sind, wird die Bedienung häufig genutzter Funktionen im Fahrzeug aufgrund der hohen Zahl an Dreh- und Kippschaltern in Multifunktionslenkrädern erschwert. Aus Gründen der Verkehrssicherheit sollte jedoch die Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers nicht derartig beeinträchtigt werden, dass sein Blick zu lange vom Verkehrsgeschehen auf die Bedienung der Schalter am Lenkrad abgelenkt wird. Auch kann eine hohe Zahl an Dreh- und Kippschaltern häufig zu Fehlbedienungen führen, da eine rein intuitive Handhabung nicht mehr möglich ist. In the known prior art, according to which many simple push buttons or Switches are arranged on a steering wheel, the operation is common functions used in the vehicle due to the high number of turning and Toggle switches in multifunction steering wheels more difficult. Because of Road safety, however, should not attract driver attention like this be impaired that his view of the traffic situation for too long Operation of the switch on the steering wheel is distracted. Can also be high Number of rotary and toggle switches often lead to incorrect operation, as one purely intuitive handling is no longer possible.
Neben einfachen Ausführungen mit einfachen Drucktastern oder Schaltern, die nur eine einzige Betätigungsrichtung zulassen, zeigt die DE 100 41 590 A1 ein Fahrzeug-Lenkrad, auf dessen Lenkradkranz eine Reihe von Schaltern angeordnet ist, von denen zumindest einige in zwei zueinander senkrechte Richtungen betätigt werden können. Damit können einem einzigen Schalter vorteilhafterweise mehrere Funktionen nebeneinander zugeordnet werden. In addition to simple designs with simple push buttons or switches, that only allow a single direction of operation, shows the DE 100 41 590 A1 a vehicle steering wheel, on the steering wheel rim one Row of switches is arranged, at least some of which are in two directions perpendicular to each other can be operated. So that can a single switch advantageously multiple functions side by side be assigned.
Eine Anordnung von Schaltern auf dem Lenkradkranz nach dem bekannten Stand der Technik erweist sich jedoch als ungünstig, da die Schalter, wenn sie durch eine Lenkbewegung aus ihrer ursprünglichen Position verschoben werden, ergonomisch ungünstig zu erreichen sind. Es erweist sich generell als schwierig, die geforderte Zahl von Schaltern in ergonomisch sinnvoller Größe unterzubringen. Gerade eine Bedienung mit Handschuhen wird hier praktisch unmöglich. An arrangement of switches on the steering wheel rim according to the known State of the art proves to be unfavorable, however, because the switches when they are moved from their original position by a steering movement are ergonomically unfavorable to achieve. It turns out in general as difficult, the required number of switches in ergonomically meaningful Accommodate size. Operation with gloves is particularly important here practically impossible.
Eine Abhilfemaßnahme für diese geschilderte Problematik aufzuzeigen, ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist an einem Fahrzeug-Lenkrad nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Schalter auf einer Speiche des Lenkrads angeordnet ist. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen sind Inhalt der Unteransprüche. A remedial measure for this problem is to be shown Object of the present invention. The solution to this problem is on a vehicle steering wheel according to the preamble of claim 1 thereby characterized in that the switch is arranged on a spoke of the steering wheel is. Advantageous training and further education are included in the subclaims.
Vorteilhaft ist es, einen Schalter, der in zumindest zwei im wesentlichen senkrecht aufeinander stehenden Richtungen betätigt werden kann, auf einer durchgehenden Speiche anzuordnen, damit der Fahrer den Schalter jederzeit, insbesondere während eines Lenkmanövers so erreichen kann, dass seine Aufmerksamkeit nicht vom Verkehrsgeschehen abgelenkt wird. Ein dort vorgesehener Schalter ist auf einfache Art und Weise während der Fahrt blind zu bedienen. Der Schalter lässt aufgrund der verschiedenen Betätigungsrichtungen mindestens vier eindeutige Betätigungen zu intuitiv verständlichen Funktionen zu. It is advantageous to have a switch that is in at least two essentially perpendicular directions can be operated on one continuous spoke to arrange for the driver to switch can achieve at any time, especially during a steering maneuver, that his attention is not distracted from the traffic situation. On switch provided there is simple while driving to operate blindly. The switch leaves due to the different Actuating directions at least four clear actuations too intuitive understandable functions.
Dabei kann der Schalter in jeder Betätigungsrichtung translatorisch und/oder rotatorisch betätigbar sein, d. h. dass der Schalter in einer Betätigungsrichtung verschoben (und zwar bevorzugt sowohl vor als auch zurück, d. h. in einander entgegengesetzte Richtungen) und/oder verdreht werden kann. Dabei kann es günstig sein, wenn der Schalter in einer ersten Betätigungsrichtung translatorisch und in einer zweiten Betätigungsrichtung rotatorisch bewegt werden kann. The switch can be translatory and / or in any direction of actuation be rotationally operable, d. H. that the switch in one Actuating direction shifted (preferably both forwards and backwards, i.e. in opposite directions) and / or can be rotated. It can be advantageous if the switch is in a first Direction of actuation translationally and in a second actuation direction can be rotated.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung liegt vor, wenn ein Fahrzeug-Lenkrad auf dessen durchgehender Speiche symmetrisch zum Lenkrad-Mittelpunkt zumindest ein Paar von Schaltern angeordnet ist. Die Hände des Fahrers, die das Lenkrad bereits links und rechts umfassen, können die symmetrisch angeordneten Schalter links und rechts betätigen, ohne dass der Lenkradkranz hierzu losgelassen werden muss, und zwar auch dann, wenn das Lenkrad aus seiner Neutralstellung heraus verdreht wurde. Davon ausgehend, dass das Lenkrad in der üblichen Weise gehalten wird, ist der Weg vom Lenkradkranz zu einem symmetrisch angeordneten Schalter minimal. Die Konzentration des Fahrers auf das Verkehrsgeschehen wird daher nahezu überhaupt nicht beeinträchtigt. An advantageous further development is when a vehicle steering wheel is on its continuous spoke symmetrical to the center of the steering wheel at least one pair of switches is arranged. The driver's hands that the steering wheel already include left and right, which can be symmetrical Operate the arranged switches on the left and right without the steering wheel rim this must be released, even if the steering wheel was twisted out of its neutral position. Assuming that the steering wheel is held in the usual way is the way of Steering wheel rim minimal to a symmetrically arranged switch. The The driver's concentration on the traffic situation is therefore almost at all not affected.
Der Schalter oder Taster des Fahrzeug-Lenkrads kann im übrigen zusätzlich in einer dritten auf den beiden genannten zueinander im wesentlichen senkrecht stehenden Betätigungsrichtungen im wesentlichen senkrechten Richtung zu betätigen sein. Hierdurch wird die Auswahl zusätzlicher Funktionen ermöglicht. Diese weitere Betätigungsrichtung kann auch als Schnittgerade der anderen beiden Betätigungsebenen beschrieben werden, wobei in dieser dritten Betätigungsrichtung insbesondere eine translatorische Betätigung erfolgt. The switch or button of the vehicle steering wheel can additionally in a third on the two mentioned to each other essentially vertical operating directions essentially vertical Direction. This will make the selection of additional functions allows. This further direction of actuation can also be a straight line the other two levels of operation are described, in this third actuation direction, in particular a translatory actuation he follows.
Neben einer einfacheren und sicheren Bedienung und einer verbesserten Erreichbarkeit der Schalter gibt es noch weitere Vorteile der Erfindung. Durch die platzsparende Anordnung auf einer den Lenkradkranz durchmessenden Speiche wird nämlich das erforderliche Bauraumvolumen im Lenkrad gesenkt. Da sich die symmetrische Anordnung der Schalter auf der Speiche zentral im Blickfeld des Fahrers befindet, kann die Notwendigkeit die Schalter zu beleuchten, entfallen; zumindest jedoch kann eine Schalterbeleuchtung einfacher und effizienter gestaltet sein. Dadurch können auch Kosten reduziert werden. In addition to easier and safer operation and improved Accessibility of the switches gives further advantages of the invention. By the space-saving arrangement on a diameter of the steering wheel rim The spoke is the required installation space in the steering wheel lowered. Because the symmetrical arrangement of the switches on the spoke located centrally in the driver's field of vision, the need for the switches to illuminate, omitted; at least, however, a switch lighting be made simpler and more efficient. This can also result in costs be reduced.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles weiter erläutert, wobei die einzige Figur die Aufsicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeug-Lenkrades zeigt. In the following, the invention is based on a preferred Exemplary embodiment explained further, the sole figure being the supervision of a Vehicle steering wheel according to the invention shows.
Das gezeigte Fahrzeug-Lenkrad besteht wie üblich aus einem Lenkradkranz 1, der um einen Mittelpunkt 2 verdrehbar ist. Eine den Lenkradkranz durchmessende Speiche 3 ist durch eine Speiche 4, die senkrecht auf die Speiche 3 und den Mittelpunkt 2 trifft, mit dem Lenkradkranz 1 verbunden. The vehicle steering wheel shown consists, as usual, of a steering wheel rim 1 which can be rotated about a center point 2 . A spoke 3 measuring the steering wheel rim is connected to the steering wheel rim 1 by a spoke 4 which perpendicularly meets the spoke 3 and the center point 2 .
Ein Paar von Schaltern 5 ist symmetrisch zum Lenkrad-Mittelpunkt 2 auf der den Lenkradkranz 1 durchmessenden Speiche 3 angeordnet. Jeder dieser beiden Schalter 5 ist in eine erste Richtung 6a und eine zweite Richtung 6b verschiebbar. Die erste Betätigungsrichtung 6a verläuft hier im wesentlichen vertikal, d. h. jeder Schalter 5 kann nach oben oder nach unten verschoben oder umgelegt werden oder dgl. Die zweite Betätigungsrichtung 6b verläuft zur Betätigungsrichtung 6a im wesentlichen senkrecht und somit horizontal, d. h. jeder Schalter 5 kann nach links oder nach rechts verschoben oder umgelegt werden oder dgl. Zusätzlich ist auch eine dritte, abermals senkrechte und somit axiale Betätigungsrichtung senkrecht zur Zeichenebene möglich. A pair of switches 5 is arranged symmetrically to the center of the steering wheel 2 on the spoke 3 which measures the steering wheel rim 1 . Each of these two switches 5 is displaceable in a first direction 6 a and a second direction 6 b. The first actuation direction 6 a here runs essentially vertically, ie each switch 5 can be shifted up or down or folded or the like. The second actuation direction 6 b runs essentially perpendicular to the actuation direction 6 a and thus horizontally, ie each switch 5 can shifted to the left or to the right or folded over or the like. In addition, a third, again vertical and thus axial actuation direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing is also possible.
Bevorzugt werden den jeweiligen Betätigungsrichtungen 6a, 6b intuitiv verständliche Funktionen zugeordnet. So kann bspw. eine Betätigung nach oben die Radiolautstärke erhöhen, wohingegen eine Betätigung nach unten die Radiolautstärke verringert. Oder die Betätigung nach links bzw. nach rechts regelt das Umschalten zwischen Radiosendern oder ermöglicht das Blättern in einem Telefonbuch (eines Bordcomputers oder Note-Books) oder schaltet eine automatische Geschwindigkeitsregelung in geeigneter Weise. Intuitively understandable functions are preferably assigned to the respective actuation directions 6 a, 6 b. For example, an actuation upwards can increase the radio volume, whereas an actuation downwards reduces the radio volume. Or the actuation to the left or to the right regulates switching between radio stations or enables browsing in a telephone book (on-board computer or note book) or switches automatic speed control in a suitable manner.
Die Form der Schalter 5 ist für die vorliegende Erfindung nicht von besonderer Bedeutung, solange sie in der angegebenen Weise betätigt werden können. Es sind Ausführungen als sehr kurzer Stift, konvexe Kalotte, als verschiebbares Speichensegment usw. vorstellbar. Dabei stellt die vorliegende Erfindung ein einheitliches Bedienkonzept dar, das durchaus mit anderen Bedienelementen des Fahrzeugs verbunden sein kann. The shape of the switches 5 is not of particular importance for the present invention as long as they can be operated in the manner indicated. Versions as a very short pin, convex spherical cap, as a movable spoke segment, etc. are conceivable. The present invention represents a uniform operating concept that can certainly be connected to other operating elements of the vehicle.
Die Vereinfachung bzw. die Zusammenfassung mehrerer Funktionen in Schaltern, die auf einer Lenkradspeiche symmetrisch zum Lenkrad- Mittelpunkt angeordnet sind, ermöglicht dem Fahrer infolge der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung der leicht zugänglichen Schalter eine intuitivere Mandhabung derselben, und trägt somit zu mehr Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr bei, wobei noch darauf hingewiesen sei, dass eine Vielzahl weiterer Details insbesondere konstruktiver Art durchaus abweichend vom gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel gestaltet sein kann, ohne den Inhalt der Patentansprüche zu verlassen. The simplification or the combination of several functions in Switches on a steering wheel spoke symmetrically to the steering wheel Are arranged allows the driver as a result of inventive arrangement of easily accessible switches a more intuitive Handling them, and thus contributes to more safety in road traffic, although it should be noted that a variety of other details in particular of a constructive nature, quite different from the one shown Embodiment can be designed without the content of the claims leave.
