Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lenkrad für ein Fahrzeug mit einem Dekorelement.The The invention relates to a steering wheel for a vehicle with a decorative element.
Dekorelemente werden an Lenkrädern in Fahrzeugen angebracht, um dem Lenkrad ein individuelles, hochwertiges Aussehen zu verleihen. Aus dem Stand der Technik sind beispielsweise rückseitig beleuchtete Dekorelemente bekannt, bei denen ein teilweise lichtdurchlässiges Element rückseitig beleuchtet wird. Es sind auch Dekorelemente bekannt, die individuell angefertigt werden und anschließend an einem Teil des Lenkrades dauerhaft befestigt werden.decorative elements be on steering wheels mounted in vehicles to give the steering wheel an individual, high quality To give appearance. For example, from the prior art backlit Decorative elements are known in which a partially translucent element on the back is illuminated. There are also decorative elements known individually be made and then to a part of the steering wheel are permanently attached.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Dekorelement zu schaffen, das eine einfache individuelle Anpassung an Kundenwünsche erlaubt.task The invention is to provide a decorative element that is a simple individual adaptation to customer requests allowed.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist ein Lenkrad für ein Fahrzeug vorgesehen mit einem an einem Lenkradteil befestigten Dekorelement, das ein teilweise lichtdurchlässiges Abdeckelement aufweist. Das Dekorelement hat eine Aufnahmetasche für ein zumindest teilweise lichtdurchlässiges, flächiges Designteil, in die das Designteil auswechselbar zwischen Abdeckteil und Lenkrad eingesetzt ist. Das Designteil ist durch das lichtdurchlässige Abdeckelement zu sehen und verleiht dem Lenkrad ein individuelles Design. Das Designteil ist austauschbar und erlaubt somit eine schnelle Änderung des Designs, beispielsweise zur Anpassung an Kundenwünsche. Das Abdeckteil kann gegebenenfalls auch nur einseitig lichtdurchlässig sein.to solution The task is a steering wheel for a Vehicle provided with a decorative element attached to a steering wheel part, this is a partially translucent Has cover. The decorative element has a receiving pocket for a at least partially translucent, flat Design part in which the design part interchangeable between cover and steering wheel is used. The design part is through the translucent cover to see and gives the steering wheel an individual design. The Design part is interchangeable and thus allows a quick change of the design, for example to adapt to customer requirements. The Cover may optionally be translucent only on one side.
Zur Beleuchtung des Dekorelements kann eine Lichtquelle zwischen Lenkrad und Designteil vorgesehen sein, die in Richtung zum Abdeckelement leuchtet. Ein auf dem Designteil aufgebrachter Aufdruck oder ein Muster wird so von außen sichtbar. Dadurch ergeben sich weitere Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für das Dekorelement.to Lighting the decor element can be a light source between the steering wheel and design part provided in the direction of the cover shines. An imprint applied on the design part or a Pattern becomes so from the outside visible, noticeable. This results in further design options for the Decorative element.
Als Lichtquelle werden beispielsweise LEDs verwendet. LEDs haben eine lange Lebensdauer und weisen einen geringen Stromverbrauch auf, sodass ein geringer Wartungsaufwand notwendig ist.When Light source, for example, LEDs are used. LEDs have one long life and low power consumption, so a low maintenance is necessary.
Um eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung zu erreichen, kann aber auch eine Leuchtfolie oder ein alternatives flächiges Leuchtelement wie etwa ein OLED-Display als Lichtquelle verwendet werden.Around a uniform illumination but can also be a luminescent film or an alternative flat Luminous element such as an OLED display used as a light source become.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Abdeckelement zerstörungsfrei vom Lenkrad abnehmbar. Die Aufnahmetasche ist in dieser Ausführungsform so ausgebildet, dass sie nur bei abgenommenem Abdeckelement zu erreichen ist. Das Designteil ist so sicher in der Aufnahmetasche gelagert, und ein versehentliches Herausfallen ist sicher verhindert.In a preferred embodiment the cover is non-destructive detachable from the steering wheel. The receiving pocket is in this embodiment designed so that they can only be reached with the cover removed is. The design part is stored so securely in the receiving bag, and accidental falling out is certainly prevented.
Das Abdeckelement ist beispielsweise mit Rastvorsprüngen am Lenkrad fixiert. Dadurch ist eine Montage ohne Werkzeug möglich.The Cover is fixed, for example, with locking projections on the steering wheel. Thereby a mounting without tools is possible.
Das Abdeckelement kann auch, wenn eine festere Verbindung gewünscht ist, mit einer Schraubverbindung am Lenkrad fixiert sein.The Cover member may also, if a tighter connection is desired, be fixed with a screw on the steering wheel.
Das Designteil besteht beispielsweise aus einem lichtdurchlässigen Material und ist bedruckt. Das Designteil kann mit einem Drucker auf einfache Art an Kundenwünsche angepasst werden. Dazu kann beispielsweise ein Laserdrucker oder ein Tintenstrahldrucker verwendet werden. Durch das lichtdurchlässige Material wird das aufgedruckte Muster auf das Abdeckelement projiziert. Das Bedrucken kann auch vom Kunden selbst vorgenommen werden.The Design part consists for example of a translucent material and is printed. The design part can work with a printer in a simple way to customer requirements be adjusted. For this example, a laser printer or an inkjet printer can be used. Through the translucent material The printed pattern is projected onto the cover. The Printing can also be done by the customer.
Alternativ könnte die Lichtdurchlässigkeit des Designelements durch ein aktiv ansteuerbares optisches Sperrelement bestimmt sein, das beispielsweise auf der Basis eines LCD-Displays arbeitet.alternative could the translucence of the Design element by an actively controllable optical blocking element be determined, for example, on the basis of an LCD display is working.
Das Designteil besteht z. B. aus einem lichtundurchlässigen Material und weist Aussparungen auf. Dadurch ist eine einfache Anfertigung von einfarbigen Mustern möglich.The Design part exists z. B. from an opaque material and has recesses. As a result, a simple production of monochrome patterns is possible.
Vorzugsweise ist die Aufnahmetasche einstückig am Dekorelement ausgebildet, womit eine einfache Herstellung möglich ist, da die Anzahl der Bauteile verringert wird.Preferably is the receiving pocket in one piece formed on the decorative element, whereby a simple production is possible, because the number of components is reduced.
Das Dekorelement kann eine eine Lenkradspeiche umgreifende Spange sein.The Decorative element may be a spreader embracing a steering wheel spoke.
Das Dekorelement ist vorzugsweise zumindest vorderseitig PVD-beschichtet und in diesem Bereich transparent oder transluzent ausgebildet. Durch die Beschichtung erhält das Dekorelement ein hochwertiges, metallisches Aussehen. Wird die Beschichtung rückseitig angeleuchtet, wird sie teilweise lichtdurchlässig, so dass die durchleuchteten Bereiche des Designteils hinter der Beschichtung sichtbar werden. Bei ausgeschalteter Beleuchtung ist nur die metallische Oberfläche zu sehen.The Decorative element is preferably PVD-coated at least on the front side and formed in this area transparent or translucent. Obtained by the coating the decorative element a high-quality, metallic appearance. Will the Coating on the back Illuminated, it becomes partially translucent, so that the transilluminated Areas of the design part will be visible behind the coating. When the lighting is off, only the metallic surface is visible.
