Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for detecting an inclination, change in inclination or acceleration of moving objects, e.g. Change in the direction of a vehicle or in industrial processes in which a sensor attached to the object is coupled to evaluation electronics, in particular a microprocessor, which generates output signals with a control for the control.
- Such a device is used, for example, in motor vehicles in connection with a triggering device for an airbag, the signals supplied by the sensor being in evaluation electronics, in particular a microprocessor or microcontroller with programs and / or values implemented therein and, if a limit criterion is exceeded, to form a control signal to trigger the airbag.
- evaluation electronics in particular a microprocessor or microcontroller with programs and / or values implemented therein and, if a limit criterion is exceeded, to form a control signal to trigger the airbag.
- the accelerations can be linear accelerations or radial accelerations.
- Another device of this type relates to a direction indicator of motor vehicles.
- the direction indicators of motor vehicles are switched on manually by the driver.
- the driver indicators on the steering column are designed to reset the direction indicator when the steering column is turned back.
- the steering angle is small in two-wheeled vehicles, since cornering is essentially achieved by the weight shift and the associated inclined position of the vehicle. For this reason, the direction indicator is switched off manually for two-wheeled vehicles or according to distance-time criteria for more complex vehicles.
- the convenience of automatic resetting that is customary in cars has not yet been achieved.
- the operation of the direction indicator or the control of the correct functioning of the automatic reset according to distance-time criteria requires the driver to check and steer the traffic situation from. A reliable automatic reset of the direction indicator would therefore also make sense for two-wheelers.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type specified, with the simple, inexpensive structure reliable controls with a variety of uses with the same sensor are possible.
- the senor is installed in a vehicle and that the measuring axis of the sensor is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle when driving straight ahead and parallel to the road surface when driving on a lane, changes in direction of travel can be recorded and when a completed turning process is detected, in which a turn signal was previously used can be set using the
- an acceleration sensor and / or inclination sensor is coupled to a comparator and that an output signal is only changed when a predetermined acceleration and / or inclination is exceeded.
- the sensor has two vials, in which the position of the respective bubble in the
- Dragonfly is determined via light barriers or capacitively. With the two dragonflies e.g. Accelerations in different or opposite directions are recorded.
- An advantageous simple embodiment also consists in the sensor consisting of a spirit level with a strongly curved inner surface of the vessel.
- a reliable automatic resetting of the direction indicator on a two-wheeler is achieved in that the sensor is rigidly connected to the handlebar of a two-wheeled vehicle and that the evaluation electronics, with the help of algorithms implemented in it, recognize whether it is a complete turning process and dependent of which triggers an output signal for resetting the direction indicator.
- the configuration that at least one dragonfly attached in or on the moving object is aligned in the direction of movement and that the evaluation electronics are designed to determine a linear acceleration and output a related output signal enables the detection of a linear acceleration in or against the direction of movement for any moving objects, e.g. even in an industrial process.
- the strength of the acceleration to be detected can be predefined in a simple manner in that the spirit level is inclined for triggering at higher acceleration. With a greater incline there is increased acceleration necessary to force the liquid of the dragonfly in the direction of acceleration, whereby the gas bubble shifts in the opposite direction.
- the inclined position or the change in the inclined position at the beginning and at the end of the turning process is measured and evaluated using acceleration and / or inclination sensors.
- Acceleration so-called acceleration sensors
- inclination sensors can be used equally.
- boundary conditions For the selection of the sensors, their placement and the evaluation of the signals, boundary conditions must be observed, which are explained with the aid of the drawings. Show:
- FIG. 1 a schematically shows a motorcycle when driving straight ahead
- 1 b schematically shows the motorcycle when cornering
- 3 shows the orientation of measuring axes, 4a a sensor with two dragonflies,
- Fig. 4c is a schematic representation in connection with a turn signal circuit
- 5a and 5b show a schematic view of a sensor arrangement in a device for detecting a linear acceleration or a radial acceleration.
- Fig. 1 a a motorcycle is shown when driving straight ahead and in Fig. 1 b when cornering.
- an acceleration sensor which measures the acceleration perpendicular to the direction of movement (measuring axis 1 near the center of gravity 2), is rigidly connected to the frame, the sensor shows no or only small accelerations during straight ahead and cornering, because the Balance of power is balanced. If the vehicle is accelerated or braked, this acceleration also acts perpendicular to the measuring axis and is therefore not displayed. The state of equilibrium is only disturbed at the beginning or at the end of cornering by a shift in weight and the associated changes in the inclination of the vehicle.
- An inclination or acceleration sensor which detects accelerations in the measuring axis 1 in the vicinity of the center of gravity, would ideally only produce a measuring signal when the vehicle inclination changes deliver.
- the dashed line 1 indicates the measuring axis of the sensor.
- the balance of the forces acting on the sensor is initially just as balanced as before in the center of gravity of the vehicle (as can easily be shown using the torque conservation theorem).
- the gravitational force 3 acts perpendicularly on the measuring axis 1 of the acceleration sensor.
- the sensor therefore shows no accelerations.
- cornering see FIG. 1 b
- the weight 3 generates a force component 3 a in the direction of the measurement axis 1 of the acceleration sensor. This force component is compensated for by the corresponding component 4a of the centrifugal force 4.
- the sensor axis 1 When driving straight ahead, the sensor axis 1 is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 7 of the vehicle and thus parallel to the surface of the road in the case of a level road. Due to the usual inclination 8 (see FIG. 2a) of the handlebar axis 5 against the longitudinal axis 7 of the vehicle, the measuring axis 1 is inclined more (T) when the vehicle is inclined. Accordingly, the balance of forces for this measuring axis is no longer balanced. A clearly detectable measurement signal is obtained from which the inclination of the vehicle can be detected. It is therefore particularly advantageous to rigidly connect the sensor to the handlebar. The sensor could also be located lower or higher without changing anything. However, the measurement axis should be arranged in a plane perpendicular to the direction of travel so that the measurement signal is independent of the acceleration of the vehicle in the direction of travel.
- the measuring axis is rigidly connected to the handlebar, according to FIG. 2b it is located, for example, in front of the axis of rotation 5 of the handlebar, but again in a plane perpendicular to the vehicle movement 6.
- the movement of the handlebar about the axis of rotation 5 generates an additional centrifugal acceleration that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. This acceleration is greater the further the sensor is from the axis of rotation.
- 2b shows various positions 9, 10, 11, 11 'of the sensor on the measuring axis 1 with the centrifugal accelerations 12 caused by a handlebar rotation. In position 10 directly in front of the axis of rotation, the displayed acceleration is minimal. The acceleration directly above the axis of rotation 5 would be zero.
- a position of the sensor in the vicinity of the handlebar axis of rotation 5 is particularly favorable if the sensor is rigidly connected to the handlebar.
- the handlebar rotation causes accelerations of the same height but with different signs. If you add these signals, you can see the influence of the centrifugal force generated by the handlebar rotation will also suppress.
- a disadvantage of this arrangement is that the sensors must have a larger measuring range.
- this signal can be evaluated with a simple logic circuit.
- two comparators In order to be able to detect left and right inclinations, two comparators must then be used or a correspondingly designed comparator acceleration sensor that shows three switching states (left, right, incline, perpendicular). It is useful to also integrate the hazard warning device, which is usually not available on a motorcycle, into the evaluation logic.
- Zero point detections can usually be carried out very precisely and often very easily. If corresponding comparator arrangements are used which, due to their design, have the switching shaft in the zero point - that is to detect the sign of the acceleration - the required switching threshold can be set by inclining the measuring axis 1 'of the acceleration sensor against the actual measuring axis 1 (Fig 3). As a result, the sensor indicates an acceleration in the equilibrium position, and the resulting acceleration only becomes zero if the inclination is appropriate. 3 shows the orientation of the measurement axes 1 ', 1 "of two sensors to the measurement axis 1.
- the measuring axes 1 ', 1 "in the plane perpendicular to the vehicle movement should be selected.
- a particularly cost-effective embodiment is shown in FIG. 4a
- the sensor has two vials 20, 20 '.
- the position of the bubble 21 in the dragonfly is detected via light barriers 14, 15. Due to the inclined arrangement of the
- Fig. 4b shows a dragonfly with a strong curvature 16 of the vessel.
- the respective light barrier only detects the bladder 21 when it is sufficiently strong
- Two-wheeled vehicles and resetting a direction indicator can also be used on other vehicles (three- and multi-wheeled vehicles, cars, trucks, rail vehicles, watercraft and possibly also aircraft). In these cases, in which the vehicle may not have a strong incline during cornering, the same sensors can be used with a sensor
- the vials work as acceleration sensors.
- the arrangement shown in FIG. 4a measures the acceleration in an axis perpendicular to the direction of travel and parallel to the rear axle of the vehicle. For example, if the liquid of the right dragonfly 20 'is pressed to the outer end of the right end of the dragonfly by centrifugal force during a left-hand turn, the gas bubble moves sam to the lower end of the same level in front of the light barrier and is evaluated with the aid of a comparator / logic circuit of an evaluation electronics.
- the problem here is a strong inclination of the vehicle to the horizon caused by possible topological conditions, which triggers the sensor without turning, because in this case the inclination of the road is detected by the sensor. If one chooses a correspondingly strong inclination of the two opposite dragonflies (FIG. 4a), an incorrect detection is prevented.
- sensors listed here record vehicle movements, they are also suitable for monitoring vehicle movement when parked or parked.
- An evaluation circuit activated by removing the ignition key or an activation device attached to the vehicle can warn the vehicle user of theft by e.g. a detected change in inclination to generate a warning signal is evaluated.
- the sensors described here also leave a combination of automatic
- the senor With suitable component dimensions (length of the vial, set hysteresis, liquid used, arrangement of the light barriers), the sensor clearly differentiates between the balance situation when driving straight ahead and the inclination situation when cornering, which occurs when turning.
- the evaluation electronics connected to the conventional or the semiconductor relays can recognize, in particular in the form of a microcontroller ⁇ C, by implemented algorithms whether a
- Sensor is able to monitor the vehicle movement in the parked state by suitable 'focusing' and to trigger an alarm if necessary. It is advantageous to also include the hazard warning device of the vehicle in the
- 4c shows a schematic illustration in connection with a turn signal circuit.
- the signal from receiver diodes E which receive light from transmitter diodes S, is fed to the microcontroller ⁇ C (supply with Uv), which acts on the control of the right and left turn signals RB, LB.
- a device with a spirit level 20 as a sensor in which the position of the gas bubble 21 is recorded electronically, for example optoelectronically or capacitively, and which thus held sensor signals to the evaluation electronics, in particular a microcontroller, and calculated with programs and comparison values implemented therein, can also be used for detecting inclinations, changes in inclinations or accelerations of moving physical objects in other systems, for example in industrial processes.
- (negative or positive) linear accelerations a of the moving objects when stopped or started can also be monitored in order to determine critical situations (FIGS. 5a, 5b).
- Strength of the acceleration to be detected can be varied, the dragonfly can be used with a different inclination, similar to that described in connection with FIGS. 4a, 4b.
- Compliance with the orientation of a moving object can be monitored by detecting the inclination.
