Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Lenkrad für ein Kraftfahrzeug nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a Steering wheel for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
Durch die
Aus der
Problematisch bei den genannten Lösungen ist jedoch, dass Fahrzeugführer bei Dunkelheit auch von den aktiven Leuchtelementen irritiert werden können, was insbesondere dann möglich ist, wenn das Lenkrad verdreht wird.The problem with the solutions mentioned is however, that driver in the dark, the active lighting elements can irritate what especially possible then is when the steering wheel is turned.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Lenkrad der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, dass bei Ausschluss der genannten Nachteile eine gegenüber dem Stand der Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass bei dem Lenkrad nach dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1 ein oder mehrere Leuchtelement/e an der dem Fahrer abgewandten Unterseite des Lenkradkranzes angeordnet ist/sind.It is an object of the invention Steering wheel of the type mentioned to create that when excluded of the disadvantages mentioned one compared to the state of the invention Task solved by that in the steering wheel according to the preamble of claim 1 or several lighting elements on the underside facing away from the driver the steering wheel rim is / are arranged.
Damit ist es möglich, ohne Blendwirkungen oder Irritationen bei dem Fahrer eines Kraftfahrzeuges zu verursachen, dem Fahrer bei Dunkelheit eine Orientierungshilfe im Kraftfahrzeug zu geben. Der Fahrer hat im Kraftfahrzeug sitzend keinen unmittelbaren Blickkontakt zu den unterhalb des Lenkradkranzes angeordneten Leuchtelementen.It is possible without glare or Cause irritation to the driver of a motor vehicle, the driver gets an orientation aid in the motor vehicle in the dark to give. The driver has no immediate seated in the motor vehicle Eye contact to the lighting elements arranged below the steering wheel rim.
Bevorzugt werden mehrere Leuchtelemente gleichmäßig über den Umfang des Lenkradkranzes an dessen Unterseite verteilt, oder es wird alternativ dazu dort ein über den gesamten Umfang des Lenkradkranzes reichendes lang gestrecktes Leuchtelement angeordnet. So erhält das Lenkrad auch bei aktivierten Leuchtelementen ein sehr gleichmäßiges Erscheinungsbild unabhängig von der Drehstellung des Lenkrades.A plurality of lighting elements are preferably uniformly arranged over the Circumference of the steering wheel rim distributed on its underside, or it alternatively, an over there elongated the entire circumference of the steering wheel rim Luminous element arranged. So get the steering wheel has a very uniform appearance even when the lighting elements are activated independently from the turning position of the steering wheel.
Besteht das genannte lang gestreckte Leuchtelement aus mehreren Leuchtsektoren oder sind mehrere Leuchtelemente gleichmäßig am Umfang des Lenkradkranzes verteilt, besteht die vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, die Leuchtelemente bzw. Leuchtsektoren unabhängig voneinander anzusteuern. Es kann also eine Auswahl von Leuchtelementen/Leuchtsektoren aktiviert werden, oder die Aktivierung erfolgt mit unterschiedlicher Intensität oder auch in unterschiedlicher Leuchtfarbe, womit sich eine erweiterte Funktionalität ergibt.There is the elongated lighting element mentioned from several light sectors or are several light elements evenly around the circumference distributed of the steering wheel rim, there is the advantageous possibility to control the lighting elements or lighting sectors independently of one another. A selection of lighting elements / lighting sectors can thus be activated be, or the activation takes place with different intensity or in different fluorescent colors, which results in an extended functionality.
Die Leuchtelemente werden über an sich bekannte Mittel an eine Steuervorrichtung angeschlossen und von dieser angesteuert, was vorzugsweise abhängig von Betriebskennwerten des Kraftfahrzeuges erfolgt. Beispielsweise kommen als Betriebskennwerte in Betracht:
- – der Schließzustand von vorderen Fahrzeugtüren,
- – der Schaltzustand einer Fahrzeugzündung,
- – der Schaltzustand einer Fahrzeugaußenbeleuchtung ...
- - the closed state of front vehicle doors,
- - the switching state of a vehicle ignition,
- - the switching status of vehicle exterior lighting ...
Besonders vorteilhaft erscheint es jedoch, die Leuchtelemente bzw. Leuchtsektoren auch abhängig von sensorisch erfassten Drehbewegungen des Lenkrades anzusteuern. Da die Abstrahlrichtung der Leuchtelemente sich mit Verdrehungen des Lenkrades ändert, werden nicht konstante Fahrzeugbereiche beleuchtet, was nicht von Vorteil sein muss. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass sich gerade oben am Lenkrad befindliche aktivierte Leuchtelemente in der Windschutzscheibe des Kraftfahrzeuges spiegeln, was unerwünschte Effekte hat. Durch die Möglichkeit der unabhängigen Ansteuerung einzelner Leuchtelemente bzw. Leuchtsektoren, können solche Erscheinungen vermieden werden. Es wird nur eine Auswahl von Leuchtelementen/Leuchtsektoren aktiviert. Speziell werden nur solche Leuchtelemente/Leuchtsektoren aktiviert, die bestimmte, gewünschte Fahrzeugbereiche beleuchten. Bei Drehbewegungen am Lenkrad und Einbeziehung dieser (in modernen Kraftfahrzeugen bereits für andere Zwecke erfasster) Werte in die Leuchtelemente/Leuchtsektoren – Steuerung, können trotz Verdrehung des Lenkrades immer nahezu konstante Fahrzeugbereiche beleuchtet werden. Solche Bereiche können beispielsweise sein: der Fußraum des Fahrers, Armaturentafelbereiche oder Bereiche der Mittelkonsole eines Kraftfahrzeuges.It appears to be particularly advantageous however, the lighting elements or sectors also depend on to control sensor-detected rotary movements of the steering wheel. There the direction of radiation of the light elements changes with rotations of the steering wheel non-constant vehicle areas illuminated, which is not an advantage have to be. There is a possibility that there are activated lighting elements just above the steering wheel reflect in the windshield of the motor vehicle, causing undesirable effects Has. By the possibility the independent Activation of individual lighting elements or lighting sectors can cause such phenomena be avoided. There will only be a selection of light elements / light sectors activated. Only such light elements / light sectors are special activated the specific, desired Illuminate vehicle areas. With turning movements on the steering wheel and inclusion this one (already recorded for other purposes in modern motor vehicles) Values in the light elements / light sector control can, despite Twisting of the steering wheel always almost constant vehicle areas be illuminated. Such areas can be, for example: the footwell of the driver, dashboard areas or areas of the center console of a motor vehicle.
Somit kann erreicht werden, dass am Lenkrad einerseits blendfrei Leuchtelemente angeordnet werden und andererseits wurde eine bislang nicht bekannte Funktiona lität von Leuchtelementen am Lenkrad geschaffen. Es können Fahrzeugbereiche beleuchtet werden, die bislang nur mit hohem Aufwand zu beleuchten waren.It can thus be achieved that glare-free lighting elements are arranged on the steering wheel and on the other hand, a previously unknown functionality of lighting elements created on the steering wheel. It can Vehicle areas are illuminated that were previously only with great effort were illuminate.
