Description

汽车警报装置
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于汽车的警报装置,该警报装置具有可显示出轨迹变化的闪光信号装置,其至少包括安装在汽车驾驶员视野内的信号显示装置,该警报装置还具有用来探测死角区域内的障碍物的传感系统,当传感系统探测到障碍物时会产生报警信号。
背景技术
为了避免事故的发生,观测死角区域对于汽车驾驶员而言很重要,同时又很难。死角区域在汽车的侧面,在没有侧视镜和后视镜或者汽车驾驶员不大幅度挪动身体的情况下很难看得见。
这个区域的大小根据车窗户和后视镜的数量而有不同,并且不可能完全避免。死角的问题在卡车,公共汽车和摩托车上尤其严重,因为由于它们的尺寸和构造只能有一个受限制的可视半径。按照目前的法律规定,死角被定义为38%。
死角阻碍或者降低了驾驶员对事故的反应。当右边轮胎紧靠路基边或者在卡车拐弯的时候尤其明显。几乎所有的驾驶员在事故发生时都认为,因为死角的原因看不到右边的骑车人。其他因为死角而来不及反应同样会导致事故的发生。在德国每年(至2003)有大约140个骑车人和步行者死于右拐弯的卡车所引发的事故中。
迄今存在多种不同的公知技术装置,可以更容易地观测到死角区域。
US 6,859,148公开了这样一种警报装置,在该警报装置中,与第二辆汽车的距离通过具有相应的智能型的摄像机识别,然后通过光学或者声音的方式显示出来,在这里驾驶员为了集中精力地观察必须专著地把注意力放到这里。声音警报有这样的缺点,即它不适用于所有的行驶状况和驾驶员,而且不能把观测到的汽车的方向显示出来。
US 6,812,833公开了另外一种警报装置,其中闪光信号装置的闪光灯控制杆在观测到障碍物或者其他车辆时会在观测区域里震动。这种警报装置安装比较复杂,并且只有在驾驶员把手长时间放在控制杆时才能起到警报作用。
EP1450330A1公开了这样一种警报装置,只有当某一个汽车镜探测到障碍物时,警报装置才会对相应的汽车镜产生信号。信号首先显示在汽车镜中。这种警报装置不能对死角区域进行充分的观测,因为障碍物必须被汽车镜观测到。可选的,可以利用专门的指示器,借助指示方向的箭头指示障碍物所在的方向。
发明内容
本发明的目的因此在于,提供一种汽车警报装置,其提供一种简单的方式来观测死角并具有简单的构造,驾驶员不用太多地改变驾驶习惯就可以使用。
该目的通过提供一种用于汽车的警报装置得以实现,该警报装置具有可显示出轨迹变化的闪光信号装置,其至少包括安装在汽车驾驶员视野内的信号显示装置,该警报装置还具有用来探测死角区域内的障碍物的传感系统,当传感系统探测到障碍物时会产生报警信号,其中,闪光信号装置的信号显示装置和传感系统相联,以使报警信号通过信号显示装置以光学形式显示出来。
因为,闪光信号装置的信号显示装置和传感系统连接,以使报警信号通过信号显示装置以光学形式显示出来,可能的是,对驾驶员用适合驾驶员心理且简单的已有方式报警,因为在实际中为了方便理解,所有的汽车都把闪光信号装置安装在视野中突出的位置,根据驾驶员平常的驾驶习惯能保持较高的注意力。驾驶员不必把新的系统或警报装置带入驾驶习惯并重新学习它们。
优选的是,闪光信号装置的信号显示装置具有分隔的区域来分开显示左方和右方的轨迹变化。那么通过有目的地操作相应的区域可以指示出探测到的死角区域内障碍物所在的方向。闪光信号装置的信号显示装置的分隔区域和传感系统连接,以使分隔区域对应于探测到的障碍物的方向。
进一步地,信号显示装置可以具有用与正常使用有差别的颜色设计的发光装置来显示报警信号。闪光信号装置一般情况下发绿光。报警信号最好是与此有所差别,比如红色或者黄色,这可以通过简单的方式比如通过两色的LED来实现。
为了提高紧急情况下的光学警觉性,合理的是信号显示装置能够连续地快速闪烁。信号显示装置可以设计成使光学报警信号被间歇性地显示出来。
出于对光学报警的支持可以考虑附加的声音信号,比如报警声,语音提示等。因此信号显示装置还可以设计有一种发声装置来对光学显示进行支持。
光学报警信号不只可以通过不同的颜色来产生,也可以附加地或可选地通过改变光亮度来产生。因此信号显示装置具有用与正常使用有差别的光亮度设计的发光装置来显示报警信号。这种功能在黑暗中具有优势,并且在夜晚或者是隧道中可以自动激活。
优选的是,信号显示装置设计成根据障碍物的位置和/或距离,使光学报警信号以不同的间歇时间和/或不同的光强度显示出来。
在一种优选的方案中,警报装置具有发声装置,可以相对于光学报警信号产生附加的声音信号。于是警报装置设计一种对光学信号产生附加的声音支持的装置。声音信号可以是普通的报警音,比如很多应用于汽车上的功能音,如闪烁噪音,安全带安全识别,车门锁死,也可以是语音的提示或报警音。
有益的是,光学报警信号和声音信号可具有相同的间歇时间或光强度,与相同的音量以及音频,也就是说两种信号可同时出现并具有相同的节奏。当闪光信号较暗的时候声音信号比较轻且频率低。闪光信号变明亮时,声音信号变得响亮并且频率高。由此把驾驶员的注意力吸引到报警信号上来。
另外一种设计是,光学报警信号和声音信号可具有不同的间歇时间或光强度,与不同的音量与音频。当障碍物和汽车之间的距离处于确切的状态时,这是很有益的。光学和声音的报警信号可以按照全然不同的比例表现,也就是说,光学报警信号可以明亮或者暗,声音信号可以响亮或者轻,低频或者高频,和/或光学报警信号与声音信号具有不同的节奏。这样障碍物相对于汽车的位置可以通过不同的信号组合显示出来。
报警信号光强度的改变可以通过灯光的亮或暗实现或者是通过信号颜色的改变实现,比如当靠近障碍物时,信号灯由绿向黄然后向红色改变。报警信号光强度的改变还可以是亮度变化和颜色变化的组合。
在一些闪光信号装置中,出于技术的原因,有益的是,警报装置围绕或者是镶在通用的显示装置的周围。这样信号显示装置带有发光装置来显示报警信号,其中发光装置至少部分包围正常使用的区域。
警报装置可以完全或者是部分地与轨迹变化辅助装置联合使用,从而观测汽车的广泛的后方区域。其中轨迹变化辅助装置可以完全或者是部分地与传感系统联合应用,从而观测汽车的广泛的后方区域。
本发明的其他特征、细节和优点来自下面借助附图对实施例的说明。

具体实施方式
图1示出了典型的汽车1,其具有可向驾驶员提供信息和报警的汽车警报装置2,此时第二辆汽车3位于死角区域4中。
在死角区域4中,驾驶员不移动身体无法从侧视镜5进行观察。由于汽车和汽车镜的外形等,死角区域4可以是多样性的并具有不同的范围。
其他附图示出了汽车警报装置2的不同实施方式,其之间没有太大的区别。因此接下来用一致的附图标记来说明,并研究其中的不同之处。
安装警报装置2的汽车1具有可显示出轨迹变化的闪光信号装置6,其包括安装在汽车驾驶员视野内的信号显示装置7。
目前信号显示装置7安装在汽车仪表盘的中心仪表区8的突出位置,位于速度计9和转速计10之间并位于显示区11之上。
警报装置2具有未在图中示出的用于探测在死角区域4中的障碍物或其他汽车的传感系统。此传感系统可以使用各种型号的传感器,只要传感器能够准确地观察到其他汽车进入到死角区域4。传感器可以是超声波传感器,摄像机,激光或者是红外线传感器等。
传感系统具有控制功能,在探测到障碍物3时,操控闪光信号装置6的信号显示装置7,从而通过信号显示装置7把报警信号用光学形式显示出来。
在图2所示的方案中,信号显示装置7仅有单一的区域,通过不同颜色的闪烁来达到对此区域的控制。这里运用的发光装置即为两色的LED。
在图3所示的方案中,信号显示装置7′具有两个分隔的区域7′A,B来分开显示左方和右方的轨迹变化,用此来向驾驶员提供附加的死角区域4中的汽车3的方向信息。
图1中所示的举例由图3所示的闪光信号装置6中的信号显示装置7′的区域7′A显示出来。
图3所示的信号显示装置7′的特点是,其由显示装置的闪光控制,并且带有附加的报警音“Gong”。
在图4所示的方案中,信号显示装置7″也具有两个分隔的区域7″A,B来分开显示左方和右方的轨迹变化,此外区域7″A,B还具有附加的光学显示区域12A,B镶边,边上的区域与7″A,B分离并用来显示轨迹变化。
因此有类似图3的设置,所不同的是还通过显示区域12A,B向驾驶员显示报警。在这种实施方式中7″A,B和12A,B可以提高闪光的效果。
