The switch is also operated by control equipment such as wheelslip correction and antilock braking systems (3,4), electronic transmission control (5), engine control (6) or air bag inflation appts. (7). An interior lamp (8) is switched-on simultaneously to enable occupants to escape more quickly in darkness. Headlamps and other electrical loads can be switched-off to prolong the flashing warning and reduce risk of fire.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sicherheitsvorrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug zum Aktivieren der Warnblinkanlage.The invention relates to a safety device for a Motor vehicle to activate the hazard warning lights.

Jedes Kraftfahrzeug weist eine Warnblinkanlage auf, die über einen Warnblinkschalter im Fahrzeuginneren von dem Fahrer zu betätigen ist. Ist der Fahrer jedoch infolge eines Unfalls ohnmächtig oder steht er unter Schockeinwirkung, so ist er nicht mehr in der Lage die Warnblinkanlage einzuschalten.Every motor vehicle has a hazard warning system that over a hazard warning switch inside the vehicle from the driver is pressed. However, the driver is due to an accident passed out or is in shock, so he is unable to switch on the hazard lights.

Eine bekannte Sicherheitsvorrichtung (DE 40 25 742 A1) weist eine Einrichtung auf, die die Verzögerung des Kraftfahrzeugs feststellt. Überschreitet die Verzögerung einen vorgegebenen Wert, so wird die Warnblinkanlage eingeschaltet. Ein Defekt oder Ausfall eines Steuergeräts kann mit dieser Vorrichtung jedoch nicht erkannt werden.A known safety device (DE 40 25 742 A1) has a device on the deceleration of the motor vehicle notes. If the delay exceeds a predetermined one Value, the hazard warning lights are switched on. A defect or failure of a control unit can be done with this device however not be recognized.

Der Erfindung liegt daher das Problem zugrunde, eine Warnung für andere Verkehrsteilnehmer auszugeben, wenn ein Defekt oder Ausfall eines Steuergeräts erkannt wird.The invention is therefore based on the problem of a warning to spend on other road users if a defect or failure of a control unit is detected.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of Claim 1 solved.

Dabei ist der Warnblinkschalter mit einem ohnehin im Kraft­ fahrzeug vorhandenen Steuergerät verbunden. Infolge eines si­ cherheitsrelevanten Zustandes wird der Warnblinkschalter durch das Steuergerät geschlossen, so daß die Warnblinkanlage akti­ viert wird.The hazard warning switch is in operation anyway existing control unit connected to the vehicle. As a result of a si the hazard warning switch is switched off by the safety-relevant state the control unit closed so that the hazard warning lights acti fourth.

Die Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß infolge einer sicherheits­ kritischen Situation die Warnblinkanlage sofort eingeschaltet wird. Selbst wenn ein sicherheitsrelevantes Steuergerät aus­ fällt und der Fahrer dies nicht merken sollte, so wird die Warnblinkanlage aktiviert. Somit wird der Fahrer auf das Aus­ fallen des Steuergeräts aufmerksam gemacht, falls er nicht bemerkt haben sollte, das ein Steuergerät ausgefallen ist.The solution has the advantage that as a result of security critical situation, the hazard lights are switched on immediately becomes. Even if a safety-related control unit is off falls and the driver should not notice this, so the  Hazard warning lights activated. Thus, the driver is off fall of the control unit alerted if it is not should have noticed that a control unit has failed.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unter­ ansprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the sub claims marked.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden an­ hand der schematischen Zeichnung näher erläutert. An embodiment of the invention will follow hand of the schematic drawing explained in more detail.  

Die Figur zeigt ein Blockschaltbild der erfindungsgemäßen Si­ cherheitsvorrichtung. Die Warnblinkanlage eines Kraftfahr­ zeugs wird über einen Warnblinkschalter 1 eingeschaltet. Der Warnblinkschalter 1 ist im Fahrzeuginneren in Griffweite des Fahrers angeordnet. Bei erkannter Gefahr kann der Fahrer den Warnblinkschalter 1 betätigen, so daß dann alle vier Fahrt­ richtungsanzeiger 2 gleichzeitig mit einer vorgegebenen Fre­ quenz blinken. Die Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger 2 sind über einen nicht dargestellten Kabelbaum oder Kfz-Bus mit dem Warnblink­ schalter 1 verbunden.The figure shows a block diagram of the safety device according to the invention. The hazard warning system of a motor vehicle is switched on via a hazard warning switch 1 . The hazard warning switch 1 is arranged inside the vehicle within easy reach of the driver. When danger is detected, the driver can operate the hazard switch 1, so that then all four direction indicators 2 simultaneously at a predetermined fre quency flashing. The direction indicators 2 are connected to the hazard warning switch 1 via a cable harness or vehicle bus, not shown.

Der Warnblinkschalter 1 ist erfindungsgemäß mit mehreren, in einem Kraftfahrzeug ohnehin vorhandenen Steuergeräten, wie der Antischlupfregelung 3 (ASR), dem Antiblockiersystem 4 (ABS), der elektronischen Getriebesteuerung 5 (EGS), der Mo­ torsteuerung 6 (MS) oder dem Airbagsteuergerät 7 (Airbag), verbunden. Über diese Steuergeräte kann ebenfalls der Warn­ blinkschalter 1 eingeschaltet und somit die Warnblinkanlage aktiviert werden.The hazard warning switch 1 is according to the invention with a plurality of control units already present in a motor vehicle, such as the anti-slip control 3 (ASR), the anti-lock braking system 4 (ABS), the electronic transmission control 5 (EGS), the engine control 6 (MS) or the airbag control unit 7 ( Airbag), connected. The warning flashing switch 1 can also be switched on via these control units, thus activating the hazard warning system.

Sobald der Crash-Sensor im Airbagsteuergerät 7 den Airbag in­ folge eines Unfalls auslöst, wird auch der Warnblinkschalter 1 unverzüglich eingeschaltet. Gleichzeitig kann eine Innen­ leuchte 8 des Fahrzeugs eingeschaltet werden, damit sich die Insassen während der Dunkelheit schneller aus dem Fahrzeug befreien können. Weiterhin können im Falle eines Unfalls Fern- oder Abblendlicht sowie weitere Stromverbraucher abge­ schaltet werden, um eine möglichst lange Blinkdauer der Warn­ blinkanlage zu ermöglichen. Hierdurch wird auch das Risiko eines Fahrzeugbrandes infolge eines Kurzschlusses in der elektrischen Anlage verringert.As soon as the crash sensor in the airbag control unit 7 triggers the airbag as a result of an accident, the hazard warning switch 1 is also switched on immediately. At the same time, an interior light 8 of the vehicle can be switched on so that the occupants can free themselves from the vehicle more quickly during the dark. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, high beam or low beam as well as other electricity consumers can be switched off in order to enable the hazard warning lights to flash for as long as possible. This also reduces the risk of a vehicle fire due to a short circuit in the electrical system.

Meldet beispielsweise die Motorsteuerung 6 einen Ausfall des Motors, so wird ebenfalls die Warnblinkanlage eingeschaltet. Andere Verkehrsteilnehmer werden daher sofort darauf hinge­ wiesen, daß das betreffende Fahrzeug in Schwierigkeiten ist. If, for example, the engine control unit 6 reports a failure of the engine, the hazard warning system is also switched on. Other road users are therefore immediately informed that the vehicle in question is in trouble.

Auch wird bei Ausfall oder Defekt der sicherheitsrelevanten Steuergeräte 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 die Warnblinkanlage eingeschaltet. Somit wird auch der Fahrer darauf hingewiesen, daß ein Steu­ ergerät 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 defekt ist und sich das Kraftfahrzeug in einem sicherheitsrelevanten Zustand befindet.The hazard warning system is also switched on if the safety-related control units 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 fail or become defective. Thus, the driver is advised that a control unit 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 is defective and the motor vehicle is in a safety-relevant state.

Wenn der Fahrer wegen einer bevorstehenden Gefahr sehr stark sein Bremspedal betätigen muß, wird abhängig von der Fahrge­ schwindigkeit und der Bremskraft das ABS-System aktiv. In diesem Fall schließt das ABS-Steuergerät 4 den Warnblink­ schalter 1, da der Fahrer selbst dazu nur schwer in der Lage ist, da er sich auf das Bremsen und das eventuelle Ausweichen eines Hindernisses konzentrieren muß.If the driver has to press his brake pedal very strongly because of an impending danger, the ABS system becomes active depending on the speed and the braking force. In this case, the ABS control unit 4 closes the hazard warning switch 1 , since the driver himself is difficult to do so because he has to concentrate on braking and possibly avoiding an obstacle.

Falls in dem Fahrzeug eine Abstandswarnanlage vorhanden ist, so kann diese ebenfalls mit dem Warnblinkschalter 1 verbunden sein. Wird z. B. bei Nebel ein zu geringer Abstand zu einem vorausfahrenden Fahrzeug erkannt, so wird der Fahrer gewarnt und der Warnblinkschalter 1 eingeschaltet.If a distance warning system is present in the vehicle, it can also be connected to the hazard warning switch 1 . Is z. B. in fog too little distance to a vehicle in front is detected, the driver is warned and the hazard warning switch 1 is turned on.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Sicherheitsvorrichtung wird si­ chergestellt, daß nachfolgende Verkehrsteilnehmer frühzeitig im Falle eines Unfalles oder eines Ausfalls von sicherheits­ relevanten Steuergeräten gewarnt werden.By the safety device according to the invention si made sure that subsequent road users early in the event of an accident or failure of safety relevant control units are warned.
