Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Abdeckung für eine Radnabe oder eine Radfelge eines Kraftfahrzeugrades nach der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 näher definierten Art.The The invention relates to a cover for a wheel hub or a wheel rim a motor vehicle wheel according to the closer defined in the preamble of claim 1 Art.
Eine
gattungsgemäße Abdeckung
ist aus der
Diese Art der Stromversorgung des Beleuchtungsmittels ist jedoch äußerst aufwändig und für die Serienfertigung bei Kraftfahrzeugen nicht geeignet.These However, the type of power supply of the lighting means is extremely complex and for serial production not suitable for motor vehicles.
Die
Beleuchtung von Radkappen bzw. Radblenden ist außerdem in der
Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Abdeckung für eine Radfelge oder eine Radnabe eines Kraftfahrzeugrads zu schaffen, die mit einem Beleuchtungsmittel versehen ist, wobei die Stromversorgung des Beleuchtungsmittels auf möglichst einfache Art und Weise gelöst ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention, a cover for a wheel rim or to create a wheel hub of a motor vehicle wheel with a Lighting means is provided, wherein the power supply of the lighting means on as possible simple way solved is.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die in Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention this Problem solved by the features mentioned in claim 1.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Photovoltaikeinheit ist eine autarke Stromversorgung des wenigstens einen Beleuchtungsmittels ohne die Notwendigkeit eines elektrischen Anschlusses gegeben, die auf sehr einfache Art und Weise auch in dem beengten Bauraum eines Kraftfahrzeugrades realisiert werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Speichereinheit ist dabei in der Lage, die von der Photovoltaikeinheit erzeugte elektrische Energie zu speichern und bei Bedarf an das Beleuchtungsmittel abzugeben. Auf diese Weise kann tagsüber die Speichereinheit aufgeladen und nachts mit dem von der Photovoltaikeinheit erzeugten Strom das Beleuchtungsmittel betrieben werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass die Stromversorgungseinrichtung vollkommen wartungsfrei betrieben werden kann und außerdem keine Änderungen an der Radfelge vorgenommen werden müssen.By the photovoltaic unit according to the invention is a self-sufficient power supply of at least one lighting means given without the need for an electrical connection, the in a very simple way even in the cramped space of a Motor vehicle wheel can be realized. The storage unit according to the invention is capable of doing that generated by the photovoltaic unit to store electrical energy and if necessary to the lighting means leave. In this way, the storage unit can be charged during the day and at night with the electricity generated by the photovoltaic unit Lighting means are operated. It is particularly advantageous that the power supply device operated completely maintenance-free can be and as well no changes must be made on the wheel rim.
Um ein automatisches Ein- und Ausschalten des wenigstens einen Beleuchtungsmittels in Abhängigkeit der Helligkeit zu ermöglichen, kann in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, dass ein Helligkeitssensor zur Ansteuerung des wenigstens einen Beleuchtungsmittels vorgesehen ist. Auf diese Weise wird, ohne dass der Benutzer des Kraftfahrzeugs eingreifen muss, eine automatische Ansteuerung des wenigstens einen Beleuchtungsmittels erreicht.Around an automatic switching on and off of the at least one lighting means dependent on to allow the brightness can be provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention be that a brightness sensor for controlling the at least a lighting means is provided. This way, without the user of the motor vehicle having to intervene, a automatic control of the at least one lighting means reached.
Eine besonders effektvolle Anordnung des Beleuchtungsmittels ergibt sich, wenn das wenigstens eine Beleuchtungsmittel in einem Lichthof angeordnet ist.A particularly effective arrangement of the illuminant results, when the at least one illumination means is arranged in an atrium is.
Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass das wenigstens eine Beleuchtungsmittel in eine Nachbildung einer Schraube integriert ist. Auf diese Weise kann das Beleuchtungsmittel äußerst unauffällig in die Abdeckung integriert werden.alternative or additionally can also be provided that the at least one illumination means integrated into a replica of a screw. In this way The lighting can be extremely inconspicuous in the cover will be integrated.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den restlichen Unteransprüchen. Nachfolgend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung prinzipmäßig dargestellt.Further yield advantageous embodiments and refinements of the invention from the remaining subclaims. Below is an embodiment of the invention shown in principle with reference to the drawing.
