Abstract

Parental Control System for a Motor vehicle with side rear doors (1, 2) for the occupants, the Several safety features include that of an actuator (15) are selectively activatable or deactivatable, characterized that separately for each vehicle side has at least two safety functions for the rear doors (1, 2) combined by a single operation of two controls (16, 17) of the actuator (15), each of which is uniquely assigned to one side of the vehicle, can be activated or deactivated.

Description

The The invention relates to a child restraint system for a motor vehicle after Preamble of claim 1.

at Vehicles with side rear doors are child safety systems required to transport children from these consequences a careless opening the door or the window to protect. Parental control systems should be either activated and deactivated on the other hand, adults on the other hand do not unnecessarily in the operating possibilities the rear doors and windows limited become.

Known are mechanical actuators on the door frame, over the at open Door respectively the inner door opener of door concerned enable or disable. Farther It is known the power windows for the two rear side Doors together for one individual operation shared by the occupants concerned from the driver's seat enable or disable.

From the DE 199 43 991 A1 a child restraint system for a motor vehicle is known, wherein the child restraint system comprises a plurality of comfort and / or security functions. Storage means are provided for storing a plurality of data records, each data record defining the respective comfort and / or security functions to be activated. The selection of the stored data records takes place via a keyboard.

From the DE 43 39 113 A1 It is known to automatically switch safety functions depending on the seat load.

From the DE 44 42 530 A1 is known, among other measures, via a central control unit by means of a control line to address both a power window lock and a rear door lock.

Moreover, from the DE 196 29 709 A1 a locking system for a motor vehicle, are provided in the individual child safety switch.

Finally, out of the DE 44 32 799 A1 a motor vehicle door lock with child safety device known in which in addition to a common operation of the child safety devices and each motor vehicle door lock can be controlled individually and via several buttons.

Of the Invention is based on the object, a child protection system for a Improve motor vehicle to the effect that the operating comfort for activating and deactivation is further increased.

These Task becomes with a child protection system after the generic term of claim 1 solved by the features of this claim.

further developments and advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent the dependent claims.

While known Systems either a separate activation or deactivation of the inner door opener and make the window lift required and / or only a common Activation or deactivation of the functions of both rear side Enable doors, the solution according to the invention combines one simple operation with an individual separate activation or deactivation option the two rear side doors. It can be at least two security functions by a single operation enable or disable jointly. This ease of use follows the increasing simplification and automation when handling a motor vehicle and increases safety, one of otherwise omit several actuation processes. At the same time, an individual activation or deactivation depending on the safety functions be made of whether on the page concerned a child or an adult is traveling.

The Combination with other security functions is possible. in this connection could these are restraint systems, such as seatbelt pretensioners or airbags, each for adults and children are sized differently and accordingly also need to be activated. Furthermore, the activation or deactivation of additional electrical Equipment, the for which are accessible to rear seat occupants.

From of special importance for safety is the combined activation or deactivation of the Locking the inner rear door opener and the respective one Inmates individually assigned control element for the window. Here could a careless act both the window regulator and the door opener independently dangerous Consequences for have the child.

A Continuing provides that the the operating element of the actuator associated backup functions are separately programmable. This allows the necessary backup functions, the can be activated at the same time, according to the respective state of development and the degree of maturity of the child concerned.

Are useful the switching states the backup functions optically and / or mechanically displayed. The driver can always make sure that the safety features are turned on or not.

Especially is appropriate it, if the switching states the backup functions on or in the immediate vicinity of the assigned Operating element can be displayed. This improves the ergonomics during operation and review of Controls.

following The invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment which is shown in the drawing.

The Drawing shows a scheme of parental control for the two one rear side doors Motor vehicle.

Each rear side door 1 . 2 are assigned to actuators that enable and disable the inner door opener 5 ; 6 and the operating element 3 ; 4 are assigned for the window. In addition, other actuators can 7 . 8th be provided, which are not specified here, however. From the actuators lead control cables 9 . 10 . 11 ; 12 . 13 . 14 to an actuator 15 , The actuator 15 allows programming of those backup functions that are via the control lines 9 . 10 . 11 ; 12 . 13 . 14 be activated or deactivated simultaneously. Two controls are used to enable or disable the backup features 16 ; 17 , which are each clearly assigned to a vehicle side. When pressing the respective control element 16 ; 17 becomes the inner door opener 5 ; 6 and the switch 3 ; 4 to control the power window simultaneously activated or deactivated. The mechanical position of the control element 16 ; 17 , simultaneously signals the switching state.

By a single operation for each vehicle side, it is thus possible, both the door opener 5 ; 6 as well as the window regulator 3 ; 4 So, both together, enable or disable. This is possible separately for both sides of the vehicle.

Become transported two children, can the security systems for both sides are activated. The windows can then no more of those for the rear occupants accessible Controls operated but only from the driver's seat. Also the back side doors can not be opened by the inner door openers, but only by Outside. If two adults are being promoted, can the security systems for both sides are disabled. Becomes a child and an adult promoted can the backup system for that door be activated, on which the child sits, while the security system for the other Door, on which the adult sits, is disabled.
