Description

操作装置、车辆方向盘以及用于运行操作装置的方法
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于车辆方向盘的操作装置、一种车辆方向盘以及一种用于运行用于车辆方向盘的操作装置的方法。
背景技术
在汽车领域中，许多车辆功能还有多媒体应用(例如无线电、音乐或电话)通过按键或操作面板来控制，所述按键或操作面板这样设置在车辆方向盘上，使得驾驶员(Fahrzeuginsasse)可以操作所述车辆功能及多媒体应用，而不必松开车辆方向盘。然而，应通过这样的操作装置来控制的应用的数量越来越多。但是，基于提供的地方并且出于清楚明了的原因，车辆方向盘上的开关和按键的数量不可以随意增加。此外，必须阻止操作装置的无意操作或者说错误操作。
由现有技术已知例如具有多个按键的操作面板，其中，所述按键可以具有多次分配。也就是，通过操纵转换器可以利用一个按键操作不同的功能。但是，出于外观的原因，在方向盘上设置太多的按键是不期望的。此外，这样的按键的操作面的支承部是相当复杂的并且对于按键需要最小尺寸，以便操作所述按键。此外，已知触敏的传感器面，通过所述传感器面可以操作多个车辆功能。
发明内容
本发明的任务在于，提供一种用于车辆方向盘的操作装置以及一种车辆方向盘，该车辆方向盘能实现大量车辆功能的较简单的操作。此外，本发明的任务在于，提供一种用于运行这样的操作元件的方法。
为了解决该任务，设置有用于车辆方向盘的操作装置，该操作装置具有封闭的、触敏的、优选三维成型的传感器面并且具有至少两个机械的开关元件，所述开关元件设置在所述传感器面的下面并且可以通过所述传感器面的变形来操纵。触敏的传感器面这样柔性地构成，使得所述机械的开关元件可以单独地操纵。此外，设置有转换器，该转换器可以激活和/或去活所述机械的开关元件和/或所述触敏的传感器面。按照本发明，开关元件和传感器面不是并排地设置，而是开关元件设置在传感器面的下方。如果触敏的传感器面被去活，则由于传感器面的柔性可以单独地操作处于其下面的机械的开关元件。可选地，也可以去活机械的开关元件，从而可以仅通过触摸传感器面来控制功能。
所述传感器面可以构成为平面的，但是也可设想的是，该传感器面三维地预成型，从而例如处于其下面的开关元件的位置可以被触摸到。由此，驾驶员在操作操作装置时非常少地分散注意力并且可以专注于交通上。但是，传感器面也可以通过三维的形状匹配于车辆方向盘的表面，从而所述传感器面不从车辆方向盘伸出。此外，因为传感器面是封闭的，则保证车辆方向盘的较简单的清理并且可靠地阻止机械的开关元件的污染。
所述机械的开关元件例如是电的短程开关，该短程开关可以以非常小的触发路径被激活或去活。由此，仅需要传感器面的小压入，从而所述传感器面可以构成为较刚性的，以便改善车辆方向盘的手感。此外，通过小的操作路径可靠地阻止传感器面的损坏。
为了可以准确地操作开关元件，例如在传感器面的背侧上设置有操纵元件，所述操纵元件操纵短程开关。短程开关具有相对小的尺寸，从而要准确操作该短程开关是困难的。操纵元件可以具有较大的面积以及具有操作突出部，该操作突出部贴靠在短程开关上，由此在传感器面上提供较大的区域，以便操作相应的机械的开关元件。
优选地，所述传感器面至少区段式地构成为透明的或半透明的，并且设置有至少一个光源、特别是发光二极管，所述光源可以在背侧照亮所述传感器面。通过相应的照亮，例如可以突显各个区域，在所传感器面的平面的实施方案中，通过所述各个区域标记开关元件或者说操纵元件。但是也可设想的是，通过照亮来突显传感器面的各个区域。特别是操纵元件同样可以构成为透明的，使得光源可以穿过该操纵元件照亮传感器面的背侧。
所述传感器面例如可以是电容式触摸敏感的传感器面，使得可以通过触摸传感器面进行简单的输入。
此外按照本发明，设置具有这样的操作装置的车辆方向盘，其中，所述操作装置设置在方向盘辐条和/或方向盘轮缘的区域中。优选地，所述操作装置这样设置，使得该操作装置在驾驶员可以不必改变手在方向盘上的位置的情况下被操作。出于这个原因，所述操作装置优选设置在方向盘辐条的径向外部区域中。由此，例如利用拇指的操作是可能的，而驾驶员不必松开方向盘。
所述转换器可以与所述传感器面和所述机械的开关元件分开地设置在车辆方向盘上，从而可以较简单地操作所述转换器。所述转换器例如可以这样设置，使得该转换器可以用一只手操作，而所述传感器面和处于其下面的机械的开关元件这样设置，使得传感器面和机械的开关元件可以用另一只手操作。
为此，所述转换器和所述传感器面以及所述机械的开关元件例如可以沿周向位错地设置在车辆方向盘上。
所述转换器可以设置在第一方向盘辐条上并且所述传感器面和所述机械的开关元件可以设置在第二方向盘辐条上。所述方向盘辐条对于驾驶员来说能实现附加地较简便的方位辨识，从而可以简单地找到和操作所述操作装置，由此阻止驾驶员分散注意力并且使操作变得简单。
此外按照本发明，设置用于运行按照本发明的操作元件的方法，其中，将所述传感器面和/或所述机械的开关元件选择性地通过操纵所述转换器加以去活，从而要么仅开关元件、要么仅传感器面的有针对性的操作是可能的。
所述开关元件或所述传感器面的激活或去活例如可以与时间有关地、与功能有关地或手动地解除。例如可设想的是，传感器面通过转换器激活，以便通过传感器面控制期望的功能，并且在输入和识别输入之后传感器面自动重新被去活，以便阻止另一个可能错误的输入。也可设想的是，在激活传感器面之后给驾驶员提供一个时间空档，在该时间空档之内必须进行输入。但是，去活也可以手动地通过转换器或者传感器面的确定操作来进行。
附图说明
其他优点和特征由以下与附图相结合的说明得出。附图中：
图1示出按照本发明的车辆方向盘，以及
图2示出用于图1中的车辆方向盘的操作装置的局部剖视图。
具体实施方式
在图1中示出具有方向盘轮缘12以及三个辐条14的车辆方向盘10，方向盘轮缘12以所述辐条保持在方向盘轮毂16上。
在所述辐条14的其中两个辐条上设置有分成两部分的操作装置18。在第一辐条14上设置有操作装置18的转换器24，在第二辐条14上设置有触敏的传感器面20，该传感器面的表面30是封闭的。
优选地，传感器面20是电容式触摸敏感的，从而该传感器面也可以记录驾驶员的轻微触摸。此外，传感器面20在这里示出的实施方式中部分构成为透明的或半透明的且柔性的。
如特别是在图2中可见的那样，在传感器面20的下面设置有多个机械的开关元件22，所述开关元件在这里示出的实施方式中是短程开关。
在传感器面20的背侧26上，在机械的开关元件22的区域中相应地设置有操纵元件28。所述操纵元件28面状地贴靠在传感器面20的背侧26上并且特别是与该传感器面材料锁合地连接。此外，所述操纵元件28分别具有一个突出部30，所述突出部贴靠在短程开关或者说机械的开关元件22上，从而在逐点地压入传感器面时在操纵元件28的区域中进行对相应的机械的开关元件22的操纵。
在传感器面20的表面32上设置有标志34，所述标志标明操纵元件28的或处于其下面的机械的开关元件22的位置。
此外，在所述传感器面20的背侧26上设置有多个光源36，所述光源分别具有发光二极管38。通过光源36，在背侧照亮传感器面20是可能的。传感器面20以及操纵元件28优选构成为透明的或半透明的，从而通过光源36可以照亮和/或标明传感器面20的表面32上的各区域。
传感器面20柔性地构成，从而该传感器面可以通过对传感器面20的较强的压力而变形，由此操纵元件28可以向机械的开关元件22的方向移动并且操纵所述机械的开关元件。
通过设置在第二辐条14上的转换器24，机械的开关元件22和/或触敏的传感器面20选择性地被去活或激活。此外，通过转换器24可以在机械的开关元件22的和传感器面20的不同的操作平面之间转换。
由此，不同车辆功能的操作或输入是可能的。
为了操作开关元件22，例如去活传感器面20，从而通过传感器面20的变形或压入仅操作机械的开关元件22。
为了操作其他功能(传感器面22对于所述功能是必需的)，可以激活传感器面20，从而通过对表面32的轻微触摸进行输入是可能的。可选地，可以同时去活处于其下面的开关元件22，以便排除对开关元件22的无意操作。
通过光源36可以照亮或标记传感器面20的相应的区域，所述区域可被压入或触摸以输入或操纵开关元件22或传感器面。光源36例如可以这样操控或者与转换器24耦合，使得例如当激活机械的开关元件22时，仅照亮标志34。
优选地，显示器也可以集成到传感器面20中，通过该显示器标记传感器面20的各操作区域。
传感器面20的表面32也可以三维地预成型，从而该传感器面匹配于车辆方向盘10的形状。由此备选地，可以在传感器面20的表面32上标记这样的区域，使得所述区域可以较简单地被触摸到。
传感器面20或开关元件22在操纵功能之后的去活可以通过转换器24进行。但是，接着的去活例如也可以根据输入的手势或功能进行，从而例如在识别完全输入之后激活或去活传感器面20或开关元件22，以便阻止进一步输入。备选地，也可以与时间有关地进行去活，从而给驾驶员提供用于输入的限定的时间空档。
以理想的方式，包括具有处于下面的开关元件22的传感器面20以及转换器24的操作装置设置在方向盘14的径向外部区域中或者设置在方向盘轮缘12上，从而无需松开车辆方向盘由驾驶员操作是可能的。
