Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Innenraumbeleuchtung in einem Kraftfahrzeug mit mehreren Lichtquellen.The The invention relates to an interior lighting in a motor vehicle with multiple light sources.
Moderne Kraftfahrzeuge, insbesondere Personenkraftwagen, verfügen über eine aufwändige Innenraumbeleuchtung. So ist es bekannt, in einem Fond des Kraftfahrzeugs mehrere einzeln ansteuerbare Leseleuchten, beispielsweise am Dachhimmel, anzuordnen, um den Fondpassagieren das Lesen auch bei Dunkelheit zu ermöglichen. Weiterhin können dem Fahrer- und/oder Beifahrer separate Lichtquellen zugeordnet sein. Schließlich können eine oder mehrere Lichtquellen für den gesamten Innenraum und/oder einen Kofferraum des Kraftfahrzeugs vorgesehen sein, ebenso wie Beleuchtungen für Make-Up-Spiegel und dergleichen.modern Motor vehicles, in particular passenger cars, have an elaborate interior lighting. So it is known in a rear of the motor vehicle several individually controlled reading lights, For example, on the headliner, to arrange to the rear passengers to allow reading even in the dark. Farther Can the driver and / or passenger separate light sources be assigned. Finally, one or several light sources for the entire interior and / or be provided a trunk of the motor vehicle, as well as Illuminations for make-up mirrors and the like.
Weiterhin ist es zur Vermittlung eines erhöhten Komfortgefühls bekannt, im Innenraum des Kraftfahrzeugs eine so genannte Ambiente-Beleuchtung vorzusehen, mit der beispielsweise ein Fußraum oder seitliche Türbereiche aufgehellt werden können, damit dem Fahrer bei einer Fahrt in Dunkelheit ein angenehmes Fahrgefühl vermittelt wird.Farther It is to convey an increased sense of comfort known to provide a so-called ambient lighting in the interior of the motor vehicle, with the example of a footwell or side door areas can be brightened, thus the driver in one ride in the dark a pleasant driving feeling is conveyed.

Zwar ist es bekannt, eine Innenraum- oder Ambiente-Beleuchtung hinsichtlich Lichtfarbe und/oder Intensität in gewünschter Weise zu verändern, jedoch ist es nicht möglich, mit einer solchen Innenraumbeleuchtung weitere Informationen an den Fahrer zu vermitteln.Though It is known, in terms of interior or ambient lighting Light color and / or intensity in the desired Way to change, but it is not possible with such interior lighting more information to mediate the driver.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Innenraumbeleuchtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit der dem Fahrer weitere Informationen vermittelt werden können, um so die Verkehrssicherheit zu erhöhen.It Object of the invention, an interior lighting of the beginning to create said type, with the driver provides more information to increase traffic safety.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Innenraumbeleuchtung entsprechend eines gesetzten Fahrtrichtungsanzeigers ansteuerbar ist.According to the invention the task solved by the interior lighting can be controlled according to a set direction indicator is.
Eine derartige Innenraumbeleuchtung oder Ambiente-Beleuchtung wird vorzugsweise von einem zentralen Steuergerät des Kraftfahrzeugs derart angesteuert, dass sie im Takt des blinkenden Fahrtrichtungsanzeigers aufleuchtet. Dies ist in einfacher Weise realisierbar, da der Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger beziehungsweise das Betätigungselement zum Setzen des Fahrtrichtungsanzeigers nach links oder rechts sowie die Innenraumbeleuchtung selbst mit dem Steuergerät vernetzt sind. Wird der Fahrtrich tungsanzeiger in eine Richtung gesetzt, so werden die Lichtquellen auf der, in Fahrtrichtung des Kraftfahrzeugs gesehen, entsprechenden Seite im Takt aktiviert. Vorzugsweise bleibt die Beleuchtung auf der anderen Fahrzeugseite im Innenraum unverändert. Somit wird der Fahrer neben einer im Armaturenbrett vorgesehenen optischen Anzeige auch durch die Innenraumbeleuchtung auf den gesetzten Fahrtrichtungszeiger aufmerksam gemacht.A Such interior lighting or ambient lighting is preferred from a central control unit of the motor vehicle in such a way controlled to the beat of the flashing direction indicator lights. This can be realized in a simple manner, since the direction indicator or the actuator for setting the direction indicator to the left or right as well as the interior lighting itself with are networked to the control unit. Will the driving direction indicator set in one direction, the light sources on the, in Direction of travel of the motor vehicle seen, corresponding page in Clock activated. Preferably, the lighting remains on the other Vehicle side in the interior unchanged. Thus, the Driver next to an optical display provided in the dashboard also through the interior lighting on the set direction indicator made aware.
Selbstverständlich wird vorzugsweise eine im Innenraum des Kraftfahrzeugs vorhandene Ambiente-Beleuchtung derart angesteuert, dass weitere Lichtquellen, beispielsweise eine oder mehrere Lampen zur gesamten Ausleuchtung des Innenraums oder Leselampen, nicht mit angesteuert werden, sondern separat von einem Nutzer des Kraftfahrzeugs ein- und ausgeschaltet werden können.Of course is preferably present in the interior of the motor vehicle Ambient lighting controlled in such a way that additional light sources, For example, one or more lamps for the entire illumination of the interior or reading lamps, not to be controlled with, but switched on and off separately by a user of the motor vehicle can be.
Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass sie in einfacher Weise ohne erheblichen Aufwand realisierbar ist, wobei bei einem gesetzten Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger der Fahrer dies auf jeden Fall wahrnimmt. Bei einer nachfolgenden Geradeausfahrt kann er diesen, falls sich der Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger nicht selbsttätig wieder deaktiviert haben sollte, somit rasch wieder selbst deaktivieren.Of the Advantage of the invention is that in a simple manner without considerable effort is feasible, with a set Direction indicator the driver perceives this in any case. In a subsequent straight ahead he can this, if the direction indicator does not automatically deactivate again should have, thus quickly disable itself again.
Vorzugsweise sind die an sich beliebigen Lichtquellen im seitlichen Bereich einer Türverkleidung beziehungsweise im Fond an den Innenverkleidungen der Karosserie angeordnet, um diese Seitenflächen im Takt des Fahrtrichtungsanzeigers aufzuhellen. Ist der Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger nach links gesetzt, so kann die Fahrertür innen blinkend aufleuchten. Ebenso kann ein Fußraum und/oder ein Dachhimmel mit einer derartig ansteuerbaren Ambiente-Beleuchtung versehen sein.Preferably are any light sources in the lateral area of a Door trim or in the rear of the interior panels the bodywork arranged to these side surfaces in time to illuminate the direction indicator. Is the direction indicator set to the left, the driver's door can blink inside come on. Likewise, a footwell and / or a headliner be provided with such a controllable ambient lighting.
Zur Verdeutlichung des gesetzten Fahrtrichtungsanzeigers wird bevorzugt die Farbe der Lichtquellen beim Blinken verändert. Ist die Ambiente-Beleuchtung im Normalbetrieb rötlich/orange gehalten, so kann sie beim Blinken auf grün umgeschaltet werden und zwar entsprechend der bekannten optischen Anzeige im Armaturenbrett. Selbstverständlich sind aber auch alle anderen Farbwechsel möglich beispielsweise von einer blauen Ambiente-Beleuchtung auf rot blinkend. Prinzipiell können auch mehrere der Lichtquellen jeweils unterschiedliche und/oder sich zeitlich ändernde Lichtfarben abgeben.To clarify the set direction indicator, the color of the light sources is preferably changed when flashing. If the ambient lighting is reddish / orange during normal operation, it can be switched to green when flashing, in accordance with the familiar visual display in the dashboard. Of course, all other color changes are possible, for example, from a blue ambient lighting to red flashing. In principle, several of the light sources may each have different and / or themselves release time-changing light colors.
Wird in einer Notsituation die Warnblinkanlage des Kraftfahrzeugs aktiviert, wodurch alle außen liegenden Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger aufblinken, kann die Innenraum- oder Ambiente-Beleuchtung entsprechend angesteuert werden, d. h. dass die Lichtquellen auf beiden Seiten des Innenraums des Kraftfahrzeugs blinkend betrieben werden, vorzugsweise in der Warnfarbe rot oder orange.Becomes activates the hazard warning system of the motor vehicle in an emergency situation, causing all exterior direction indicators to flash, can control the interior or ambient lighting accordingly be, d. H. that the light sources on both sides of the interior of the motor vehicle are operated flashing, preferably in the Warning color red or orange.
Als Lichtquellen können alle dem Fachmann bekannten Lichtquellen eingesetzt werden, zum Beispiel Glühlampen oder ein zentrales Leuchtmittel mit einer Lichtverteilung über Lichtleiter. Vorzugsweise werden LED's eingesetzt, die einen geringen Stromverbrauch aufweisen und Licht unterschiedlicher Farben erzeugen können.When Light sources can all known to the expert light sources be used, for example, incandescent or a central Light source with a light distribution via optical fibers. Preferably, LEDs are used, the low power consumption and can produce light of different colors.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen verwendbar sind. Der Rahmen der Erfindung ist nur durch die Ansprüche definiert.It It is understood that the above features not only in the specified combination, but also in others Combinations are usable.
