DE102008044785A1 - Motor vehicle i.e. passenger car, has electrical window lifter and airbag attached to common seat, where electrical window lifter attached to seat is deactivatable by central controller during deactivation of airbag - Google Patents

Abstract

The vehicle (1) has an electrical window lifter (3) and a front seat passenger airbag (2) attached to a common seat. The electrical window lifter attached to the seat is deactivatable by a central controller (4) during deactivation of the airbag. An additional child safety-mode is executable, and additional window lifters are controllable in a front passenger seat. The electrical window lifter is activatable by a driver over an operating element, and the deactivation of the window lifter is suppressable, where the deactivation is optical and/or acoustically displayable.

Description

The The invention relates to a motor vehicle with an electric Power windows and with an airbag assigned to a common seat are.

The Equipment of motor vehicles with multiple airbags, for example in a baffle of a steering wheel for the driver as well in the area of a dashboard for the passenger, is common nowadays. Should be on the front passenger seat a correspondingly approved and with a safety belt secured baby rocker with a toddler are transported, it is known that the passenger seat assigned Airbag, for example, with the help of the vehicle key manually disable. Failure to do so may result in the event a rear-end collision unfold the passenger airbag, resulting in a Injury to the toddler in the baby crib can result.

Farther It is known motor vehicles with power windows, for example to equip on the driver and passenger side, each one Power windows activated with a separate actuator can be to bring up and down a window.

The DE 43 27 341 A1 describes a motor vehicle with a pulse generator to activate or deactivate a passenger airbag by closing a buckle.

In addition, the shows EP 1 366 939 A1 a board for controlling four windows of a motor vehicle, with two switches primarily the two front windows are actuated and are determined with a selection switch, the two switches for controlling the rear windows. After a predetermined period of time, the selector switch is automatically switched such that the front windows are to be operated by means of the two switches.

at The known motor vehicles can indeed a passenger airbag automatically be disabled if a child is in an appropriate place Child seat or a baby rocker transported in the passenger seat but it is not possible the danger of Injuries to the child due to careless actuation of the child Window lift on the passenger side further decrease.

It is the object of the invention, a motor vehicle of the aforementioned To create kind with which an inadvertent injury in particular one transported toddler is effectively avoided. In addition, should the ease of use of the motor vehicle can be increased.

According to the invention solved the problem that at a deactivation the airbag of the corresponding seat associated electric windows is also deactivated.

One Such motor vehicle is in a conventional manner with a or more airbags ausgestat tet, in particular with a passenger airbag to to increase the passive safety of all inmates. Becomes For example, a child seat or a baby rocker in the passenger seat parked and secured for transport, the passenger airbag to avoid a risk of injury to the transported Toddler disabled. Furthermore, at the same time or with a time delay the power window for the window on the passenger side disabled. This can be done, for example, by a central control unit in the Motor vehicle carried over the data bus lines with all components of the motor vehicle for control and monitoring communicates. Thus, the transported toddler can also unintentionally the corresponding button for the window regulator Although press, but this is not the window open.

Of the Advantage of the invention is that the corresponding embodiment the motor vehicle virtually no additional effort is necessary because the appropriate functionality in simple Way hardware and / or software, preferably in the central Control unit can be deposited. By disabling of the window associated with the corresponding seat The transported child can not hurt himself, for example could be by opening and then closing of the window through the windowpane a body part clamped become. Thus, a driver is not distracted from the traffic, since he does not have to pay attention that the corresponding window regulator not operated.

Around for example, close an open window To be able to, is preferably the window with a time delay deactivatable to the airbag, in particular after the airbag.

Of course can disable the functionality of the airbag and Windows are part of a parental control mode for be the motor vehicle, and the rear doors are not can be opened from the inside.

Naturally can be the appropriate functionality or deactivation an airbag for any seat, like one in the rear the motor vehicle integrated child seat, designed to be means, the one or more associated windows, so for example the windows on the right or left rear of a rear bench of a passenger car, will be deactivated accordingly.

Conveniently, The airbag deactivation can be automatic or manual be executed. A manual deactivation takes place for example with the help of an additional lock, which is operated with the vehicle key. A automatic airbag deactivation can u. a. by a Sitzplatzbelegungs- or a buckle sensor.

Would like to the driver nevertheless operates the corresponding window lifter, even if it is deactivated together with the corresponding airbag, he can do this via the associated actuators for usually all windows in the vehicle still perform. Only one press the actuating button, for example, on the passenger door for the passenger side window does not lead to Raise or lower the corresponding window.

in principle can disable the functionality of the window lift together with the corresponding seat associated airbag can also be suppressed or switched off by a user in general, if this is desired by him. For this the user can For example, press a correspondingly marked switch.

He follows during a longer drive a driver change, Thus, the new driver by optical and / or acoustic display means, such as a warning light, a beep or the like, on the condition one or more deactivated windows are pointed out.

It It is understood that the above and below to be explained features not only in the specified Combination, but also usable in other combinations. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims.

The Invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. The sole figure of the drawing shows an inventive Motor vehicle in a schematic plan view.

The car 1 is including a passenger airbag 2 and a power window 3 equipped for the passenger side. All components and functions of the motor vehicle 1 be from a central control unit 4 of the motor vehicle 1 driven, as by the connecting lines 6 indicated.

Will with the help of a sensor 5 , For example, a seat occupancy sensor or a buckle sensor, found that the passenger seat is occupied by a child seesaw or a child seat, in a conventional manner, the passenger airbag 2 from the control unit 4 disabled to prevent any risk of injury to a child in the child seat.

Furthermore, the associated electric windows 3 also disabled on the passenger side, so that the transported toddler can not unintentionally open this window. Thus, a distraction of the driver is effectively avoided.

Of course Also seats in the rear or another row of seats be equipped so that when recognizing a seat occupancy the corresponding electric windows are blocked.
