Description

Driver assistance device, motor vehicles with ultrasonic sensor and for operating The method of ultrasonic sensor
Technical field
The present invention relates to the driver assistance device for motor vehicles, the driver assistance device has supersonic sensing Device and the control device for actuating ultrasonic sensor.Ultrasonic sensor includes the diaphragm for being used to transmit ultrasonic wave (diaphragm) and it is designed as producing oscillator signal or clock signal encouraging the oscillator of diaphragm.In addition, the present invention relates to tool There are the motor vehicles of such driver assistance device, and the method for operating the ultrasonic sensor in motor vehicles.
Background technology
The use of ultrasonic sensor has been in the motor vehicle prior art.On the one hand ultrasonic sensor is used to measure Spacing between motor vehicles, on the other hand for measuring the spacing with the barrier in its surrounding environment.Supersonic sensing The commonly known part for parking assisting system of device, the parking assisting system is used to aid in driver to operate motor vehicle , i.e., driver's operation vehicle is aided in when specifically being parked in parking position.The spacing of measurement is by parking assisting system or drives The person's of sailing servicing unit is exported to driver, for example, by means of the mode of display or additionally by means of the mode of loudspeaker.
In order to measure the purpose of the spacing between motor vehicles and barrier, this is related to the time delay of measurement ultrasonic wave. Ultrasonic sensor transmits ultrasonic wave, and then the ultrasonic wave is reflected by barrier and be back to ultrasonic sensor.Ultrasonic wave Whether sensor thus receives the amplitude for the ultrasonic wave that the ultrasonic wave of reflection and detection are received higher than defined threshold value.If Higher than defined threshold value, it is determined that the time delay of ultrasonic wave, and the time delay is used to speculate the spacing with barrier.This Individual time delay also is known as changing with environment temperature, because the speed of sound depends on temperature.Accordingly, it would be desirable to be based on phase Answer current environmental temperature compensation detection time delay so that spacing can be measured it is more accurate.In modern vehicle, Environment temperature is sensed by means of one or more temperature sensors, and then the temperature sensor passes to the temperature value of measurement Control device.Control device is by the way that environment temperature to be taken into account to and compensated time delay of measurement.In other words, between measurement Away from thus compensated.
Exist or additionally in the control of temperature sensor and ultrasonic sensor without temperature sensor in the motor vehicle Problem occurs in the case of no offer communication chain between device processed.Therefore, when control device not can be used for the corrective delay Between available measurement temperature value.For example, in this case, it is true by the change of the oscillation behavior of the diaphragm from sensing The method for determining environment temperature provides remedial measure.
The content of the invention
In the case that the purpose of the present invention is the driver assistance device for being illustrated in the universal class for starting to quote herein, temperature Degree compensation how in low technical sophistication degree, especially in the case where not needing temperature in use sensor the solution party that carries out Method.
The present invention is by means of driver assistance device, motor vehicles and also by means of with will according to respective independent right The method for the feature asked and realize.The advantageous embodiment of the present invention is dependent claims, the theme of specification and drawings.
Creative driver assistance device for motor vehicles has ultrasonic sensor and is designed as actuating The control device of the ultrasonic sensor.Ultrasonic sensor has the diaphragm for being used for transmitting ultrasonic wave and provided for encouraging The oscillator of the oscillator signal of diaphragm.Oscillator signal is thus the clock signal for encouraging diaphragm.Oscillator is to be based on temperature Oscillator, in this case, the frequency of oscillator signal depends on the environment temperature of ultrasonic sensor or with environment temperature And change.Control device can use the sensor signal from ultrasonic sensor to determine environment temperature, the sensor Signal is produced based on oscillator signal.
Formulated according to the present invention, therefore in particular for the measurement of environment temperature is not obtained by means of temperature sensor Measure, environment temperature will be obtained from oscillator signal or clock signal based on temperature.Present invention uses ultrasonic sensor Diaphragm be normally based on temperature the fact that, it means that the resonant frequency of diaphragm depends on environment temperature, and means The oscillator based on temperature can be used first to match the resonant frequency of the frequency of oscillator signal and diaphragm.Therefore, as past It is often the same in order to realize maximum transmitted sound levels, thus transmission frequency be traced as diaphragm based on the corresponding of environment temperature Resonant frequency.This can also be employed so that based on being produced according to resonance signal and be transferred to control from ultrasonic sensor The sensor signal of device determines environment temperature.Reason is that this is based on the oscillator signal or clock signal for coming from oscillator The frequency of sensor signal change with environment temperature.This can be detected by control device and be used to determine environment temperature.Cause This, single TEMP can not be especially needed the invention enables environment temperature with minimum technical sophistication degree determination Device.Because environment temperature can ad hoc be determined by calculating.In this case, the determination of temperature is also especially accurate Ground, it means that the time delay of ultrasonic wave can also be compensated based on environment temperature with maximal accuracy.
Preferably, sensor signal is message (message) signal or is known as being transferred to control from ultrasonic sensor The telegram of device.Such message signal includes the related information of the sensor being stored in ultrasonic sensor.For example, so An information now can given threshold, the amplitude of ultrasonic wave that ultrasonic sensor is received is compared with the threshold value.No matter How, such message signal is transferred to control device from ultrasonic sensor in the motor vehicle.This means control device Environment temperature can be determined from the message signal generally existed anyway so that especially ultrasonic sensor and control device Between the bandwidth of communication port do not negatively affected by extra signal.
However, sensor signal can be substantially any signal from ultrasonic sensor, the signal is by oscillator signal Produce and be transferred to control device.
As already explained, the environment temperature of determination is used as the time delay of the measurement of compensation ultrasonic wave by control device Basis is particularly preferred.Because the spread speed of ultrasonic wave changes with environment temperature.Thus, this compensation allows Obtain to the spacing between one side and motor vehicles, the extreme of another aspect and the spacing between barrier is accurately measured.
Preferably, ultrasonic sensor is not the wish transmission of sensor signals according to oneself, but only relies upon and The request of self-control device.This means control device can transmit order to ultrasonic sensor, ultrasonic sensor is based on The order sends sensor signal to control device.Therefore, sensor signal is only when its controlled device is asked, i.e., for example when Control device is intended to determine to transmit during current environmental temperature.
For example, control device can send a request to especially and periodically ultrasonic wave biography at predetermined intervals Sensor.
If the frequency of oscillator signal depend on environment temperature, then the duration of the bit of sensor signal also with Variation of ambient temperature.In one embodiment, it is therefore true for the duration of at least one bit based on sensor signal Fixed environment temperature works out measures.This is the method for special low complex degree, and it only asks the duration for the bit to be measured, And environment temperature can be from table of the duration for example by storage or additionally mathematical formulae determination.
For the precision of the determination that improves environment temperature, control device can be from multiple bits of sensor signal (especially All bits of sensor signal) the respective duration and calculating prolongeding time average value.Control device then can Environment temperature is determined based on duration average value.In this case, environment temperature is determined with high precision, because not Using individual bit but used multiple bits to determine environment temperature.
Alternatively, it can also be worked out measures for the environment temperature that the duration based on whole sensor signal determines.Example Such as, if it is known that the quantity of the bit of specific message signal, then the measurement of the duration of whole sensor signal is for determining It is simplest option for environment temperature.This is only it needs to be determined that the duration of sensor signal, and environment temperature can It is determined directly based on the duration.
In addition, then, in order to increase precision, can be worked out measures to control device, with from from many of ultrasonic sensor The respective duration of individual successive sensor signal calculates average value and determines environment temperature based on the average value.
Control device is always from the respective sensor signal of at least two ultrasonic sensors of driver assistance device Determine that environment temperature is found to be very advantageously.Reason is that motor vehicles are usually mounted between four to eight, sometimes Even 12 ultrasonic sensors are wherein., can be by if average value is formed by the ultrasonic sensor of all installations Precision increases to maximum.For example, this can show as:Holding from the respective sensor signals of multiple ultrasonic sensors first Continuous Time Calculation average value, is then based on the common duration average value and determines environment temperature.However, for determining environment Temperature, it is also possible that:First coming from all the sensors signal of corresponding ultrasonic sensor is used to determine respective temperature Value, then environment temperature is confirmed as the average value of single temperature value.
Creative motor vehicles include creative driver assistance device.
The invention further relates to operate motor vehicle in the case of the oscillator of ultrasonic sensor is used for and provides oscillator signal Ultrasonic sensor method, the oscillator signal be used to encouraging ultrasonic sensor be used for transmit the diaphragm of ultrasonic wave. Oscillator based on temperature is used for the frequency of wherein oscillator signal depending on the situation of the environment temperature of ultrasonic sensor.Vibration Signal is used to determine environment temperature.
The preferred embodiment and the Dominant Facies of the embodiment showed with reference to creative driver assistance device should Ground is applied to creative motor vehicles and creative method.
Other features of the present invention can be found in the description of claim, accompanying drawing and accompanying drawing.In description above The feature quoted in the combination of all features and feature quoted and the description of following accompanying drawing and/or single accompanying drawing and spy Levy the combination that combination is used not only for pointing out respectively, additionally it is possible to for other combinations or their own.

For actuating ultrasonic sensor 3, driver assistance device 2 includes control device 4.Alternatively, can be with a side Face is that preceding ultrasonic sensor 3 provides single control device 4, on the other hand provides single control for rear ultrasonic sensor 3 Device 4 processed.Control device 4 is controller and is used for actuating ultrasonic sensor 3.Control device 4 is by means of single signal The communication bus 5 of line or motor vehicles 1 is electrically connected to ultrasonic sensor 3 so that control device 4 and single supersonic sensing Data communication between device 3 becomes possible to.
Ultrasonic sensor 3 can transmit ultrasonic wave and receive the ultrasonic wave of return again.During delay based on ultrasonic wave Between, on the one hand control device 4 can calculate the spacing between motor vehicles, on the other hand calculate and the barrier in its surrounding environment Hinder the spacing between thing.These spacing can be by means of output device 6, such as by means of loudspeaker and/or by means of display Output.
The Basic Design of the ultrasonic sensor 3 used is shown in the schematical of Fig. 2 and extremely abstract diagram.It is super Sonic sensor 3 has the diaphragm 7 for being used for transmitting ultrasonic wave.For example, diaphragm 7 can be formed by aluminium.Known to the resonant frequency of diaphragm 7 For depending on the environment temperature of ultrasonic sensor 3 and therefore as environment temperature changes.In order to central control unit 4 Communication, ultrasonic sensor 3 include control unit 8, such as microcontroller, it is electrically coupled to central control via communication bus 5 Device 4.Control unit 8 is by passing through clock signal or oscillator signal 9 that oscillator 10 is produced and timing.Oscillator signal 9 is also used In excitation diaphragm 7, as schematically shown in Fig. 2 by arrow diagramming 11.
In order to encourage diaphragm 7 at the resonant frequency of diaphragm 7 in each case, oscillator 10 is similarly to be based on temperature Oscillator, come from the vibrator oscillator signal 9 have depending on temperature frequency.Oscillator 10 is matched with diaphragm 7, is made The frequency for obtaining oscillator signal 9 is always identical with the resonant frequency of diaphragm 7.Because the frequency of oscillator signal 9 depends on environment temperature, So the frequency for the sensor signal 12 that control unit 8 is exported is also dependent on temperature.According to sensor signal 12, center control Device 4 processed is it is then determined that environment temperature.Corresponding current environmental temperature is subsequently used for compensating the time delay of the measurement of ultrasonic wave Or the interval of measurement.
As already explained, the timing by means of oscillator signal 9 of control unit 8.It means that particularly, it is single by control The message that member 8 is delivered to control device 4 is also had with the identical frequency of oscillator signal 9 or produced based on oscillator signal 9.Therefore control Unit 8 processed can transmission of sensor signals 12 arrive central control unit 4, the sensor signal be based on oscillator signal 9 produce. The sensor signal 12 can be the binary coded signal for including multiple bits.
Sensor signal 12 comprising the related information of sensor and is transferred to control from ultrasonic sensor 3 in particular The message signal of device 4.For example, such telegram can include the information on threshold value currently in ultrasonic sensor 3, And the amplitude of the ultrasonic wave received compares therewith.Such message signal be typically based on come from the request of control device 4 by Ultrasonic sensor 3 is transmitted.For example, such message signal has the length of 64 bits.Control device 4 can thus be transmitted please The signal asked is ordered to ultrasonic sensor 3 so that then ultrasonic sensor 3 regard the order as transmission of sensor signals 12 arrive the basis of control device 4.However, the purpose in order to determine environment temperature, sensor signal 12 with any information or Any sensor signal 12 is enough for control device 4.Only demand is that ultrasonic sensor 3 will be based on vibration The signal that signal 9 is produced is transferred to control device 4.
Thus, control device 4 determines current environment temperature based on sensor signal 12.Therefore, for example, biography can be measured The length of the individual bit of sensor signal 12 or duration, and environment temperature can be determined based on the duration.If Average value is formed by the bit of multiple transmission, then the precision of temperature survey can be improved.
If the quantity of the bit of known sensor signal 12 in control device 4, can use whole sensor to believe Numbers 12 duration is to determine environment temperature.The quantity of the bit of sensor signal 12 can be also tested in control device 4 Amount.
