DE10002285A1 - Child securing system for vehicle, with two securing functions for rear doors on each side combined through single operating element - Google Patents

Abstract

The child securing system includes several securing functions which can be activated and deactivated selectively by an operating device (15). At least two securing functions for the rear doors (1, 2) on each side of the vehicle are combined so that a single operating movement of the service element (16, 17) activates or deactivates the operating device.

Description

The invention relates to a child safety system for a motor vehicle according to the waiter Concept of claim 1.

Child safety systems are required for motor vehicles with side rear doors, to prevent children from being carelessly opened when transporting children Protect door or window. Child safety systems should optionally activate bar and can be deactivated so that, on the other hand, adults are not unnecessarily involved in the actuation possibilities of the rear doors and windows are limited.

Mechanical actuators on the door frame are known, about which at Open the door, activate or deactivate the inner door opener of the relevant door ren leaves. Furthermore, it is known the electric window lifters for the two rear side doors together for individual actuation by the relevant In from the driver's seat to activate or deactivate them together.

DE 44 42 530 A1, among other measures, is known via a central Control unit by means of a control line as well as a window lock to address a rear door lock.

In addition, from DE 196 29 709 A1 a locking system for a motor vehicle be knows, in which individual child safety switches are provided.

Finally, from DE 44 32 799 A1 a motor vehicle door lock with child safety tion device known, except for a joint operation of the child safety tion facilities also each motor vehicle door lock individually and over several days can be controlled.

The invention has for its object a child safety system for a motor vehicle testify to improve that the operating comfort for the activation and Deactivating is further increased.

This task is in a child protection system according to the preamble of the An claim 1 solved by the features of this claim.

Further developments and advantageous refinements of the invention result from the Dependent claims.

While known systems either have a separate activation or deactivation of the inner door opener and window regulator and / or only one ge joint activation or deactivation of the functions of both rear side doors enable, the solution according to the invention combines simple operation with egg ner individual separate activation or deactivation option of the two rear side doors. At least two security functions can be performed activate or deactivate a single actuation process together. This Be Ease of use follows the increasing simplification and automation the handling of a motor vehicle and increases safety, one of several others omit their operations. At the same time, an individual activation or deactivation of the safety functions depending on whether a child or an adult is traveling on the relevant side.

The combination with other security functions is possible. This could be restraint systems such as belt tensioners or airbags, each for adults and children are differently dimensioned and accordingly activated who have to. Furthermore, the activation or deactivation of additional electri equipment that is accessible to the rear seat occupants.

Combined activation or deactivation is of particular importance for safety the locking of the inner rear door opener and that of the respective Insas individually assigned controls for the window regulator. Here could be one careless operation of both the window regulator and the door opener independently mutually dangerous consequences for the child.  

A further development provides that the control element of the actuating device assigned security functions are separately programmable. Let it through the necessary security functions that can be activated at the same time after Adapt the respective level of development and maturity of the child concerned.

The switching states of the fuse functions are expediently optical and / or mecha nisch representable. The driver can thus ensure at any time whether the security radio functions are switched on or not.

It is particularly useful if the switching states of the fuse functions on or can be displayed in the immediate vicinity of the assigned control element. This improves ergonomics when operating and checking the controls.

The invention is explained below using an exemplary embodiment which is shown in FIG Drawing is shown.

The drawing shows a diagram of a child lock for the two rear side Motor vehicle doors.

Each rear side door 1 , 2 are assigned actuators that activate and deactivate the inner door opener 5 ; 6 and the control element 3 ; 4 are assigned for the window regulator. In addition, further actuators 7 , 8 can be provided, but are not further specified here. Control lines 9 , 10 , 11 lead from the actuators; 12 , 13 , 14 to an actuating device 15 . The actuating device 15 enables those safety functions to be programmed which are controlled via the control lines 9 , 10 , 11 ; 12 , 13 , 14 should be activated or deactivated at the same time. In order to activate or deactivate the fuse functions, two control elements 16 are used ; 17 , which are each clearly assigned to a vehicle side. When operating the respective control element 16 ; 17 the inner door opener 5 ; 6 and the switch 3 ; 4 activated or deactivated to control the window regulator at the same time. The mechanical position of the control element 16 ; 17 , signals the switching status at the same time.

With a single actuation process for each side of the vehicle, it is thus possible to open both the door opener 5 ; 6 and the window regulator 3 ; 4 , i.e. both together, to activate or deactivate. This is possible separately for both sides of the vehicle.

If two children are transported, the security systems can be activated for both sides become. The window regulators can then no longer be used by the rear occupants accessible controls, but only from the driver's seat. Even the rear side doors can no longer be opened by the inner door openers open, but only from the outside. If two adults are promoted, they can Security systems for both sides can be deactivated. Becomes a child and an adult If transported, the security system can be activated for the door on which the Child sits while the security system for the other door on which the adult is sits, is deactivated.
