DE102018008748A1 - System for cleaning visual impairments on the inside of vehicle windscreens - Google Patents

Abstract

Especially when the position of the sun is low, this leads to very spontaneous and strong obstructions with the associated risk of accidents. It becomes very dangerous if a driver is forced to brake the vehicle (21) spontaneously, or if possible to remove the obstruction while driving. Available tools for cleaning the inside of vehicle windshields (20) are insufficiently suited to to make all places of the front screen (20) easily accessible. The effect of manual cleaning is also usually unreliable, since the lighting conditions required for the control can hardly be created artificially. A (partially) automatic cleaning system (1) for the reliable removal of contamination on, among other things, is presented. Motor vehicle windshields with an irregularly curved surface (10) in any position as a special construction with holding device (2), control device (3), transport device (4), cleaning device (5), energy supply device (6 The cleaning system (1) and the associated procedures significantly reduce dangerous visual obstructions on the inside of car windscreens (20). Safety and driving comfort are significantly improved, dangerous cleaning attempts while driving can be prevented.

Description

At the current state of development of well-equipped vehicles, there are hardly any inconveniences for the driver or passengers for whom there is no technical solution on the market. Inconveniences from earlier times, such as in the case of icing, are prevented with windscreen, rear window and mirror heaters, awkward side views are supported with blind spot detectors, and much more
Contamination on the inside of the windshield (20) of cars and trucks, however, still hold a considerable potential for danger, especially when the sun is low, and there is still no reliable solution. Despite the intake air filter and automatic air intake / recirculation flap, a light film forms over time on the inside of the windscreen, caused, among other things, by exhaust gases from vehicles in front and other air pollution (20) . Even with intensive vehicle cleaning, this film can hardly be removed without leaving any residue, especially since the view-disturbing effect only comes to light at certain angles of incidence, which is rarely available when cleaning the vehicle to check the cleaning result. With the cleaning aids available on the market (e.g. cleaning pads with a handle), it is difficult to get to all the places and the cleaning result is usually inadequate, or only satisfactory with a lot of time. The described visual impairments due to this pollution mostly occur unexpectedly, spontaneously and very clearly if you happen to look exactly at the low sun. This dangerous situation could only be remedied by stopping the vehicle immediately and removing the dirt before driving on. However, an immediate stop is often not permitted or is not possible without an additional hazard.

All too often, this problem leads to the driver being forced to try to remove the pollution while driving. The resulting danger often even significantly exceeds the two described above.

With the invention, a device for the non-manual removal of impurities on an unevenly curved surface of any position (10) , in the following also cleaning system (1) called, especially for cleaning the inside of car windscreens (20) proposed, which can perform the cleaning reliably and, depending on the equipment variant, even more or less independently.

The proposed problem solution is to be prioritized in the automotive sector, but can also be used for other inaccessible or convex or concave curved panes or other surfaces such as mirrors.
According to the state of the art, there are cleaning robots for flat glass based on different techniques and for various objects such as window panes, solar cells, etc. However, there are no solutions on the market for the inside of vehicle windscreens (20) . Magnetic cleaning systems customary on the market are also known, for example from the aquarium accessories trade, but they cannot be used on concave disks and usually do not offer self-sufficient cleaning processes.
Cleaning robots are also known for the swimming pool area and also in the industrial area, but their concepts are not suitable, not even in a changed order of magnitude, for eliminating visual obstructions on the concave inside of motor vehicle windscreens.

Compared to various other glass cleaning machines, the application in the automotive sector also has various different requirements for the technical properties, the installation space, in particular the quality of the cleaning result and the price structure.
Due to the fact that it can work automatically for the most part, the proposed system enables cleaning at short time intervals without great effort for the user, so that the described risk potential can be avoided, which contributes significantly to the safety when driving motor vehicles.
The big advantage is that the cleaning is not carried out only when there is already a hazardous contamination, but that the system is able to prevent contaminants from building up to a risky strength.

According to the invention, similar to window cleaning robots for buildings, a self-moving unit moves the window independently, or is steered by an operator, and with a cleaning arrangement (5) clean. The holding device that creates the adhesion to the pane (2) In contrast to the window cleaning systems mentioned, it is designed so that it also adheres to concave curved windows. Parts of this holding device (2) can in one embodiment also the cleaning device (5) represent yourself. The system consists of at least one holding device (2) and at least one transport device (4) , which serve to ensure that the cleaning device gradually reaches all areas of the pane to be cleaned. Two or more of these tasks are preferably performed by one type of mechanical component. The movement takes place via ultrasound, wheel drive, belt drive, chain drive. Liability is assumed either by a) a vacuum system, or b) an electrostatic or c) magnetic system which attracts magnetic elements embedded in the pane or on the outside of the pane. In an embodiment variant, this counter element is placed in the windshield wiper, which moves to the necessary point during cleaning in order to represent the necessary counter pole for the cleaning system which is located on the inside. The system is supplied with energy via the energy supply device (6) and can be realized in a first variant with a battery. In this case, the user can manually charge the battery outside the vehicle or on a special recharging device (22) can be loaded in the vehicle, or the system can be automatically loaded into a reloading device on the edge of the pane for reloading or after cleaning is complete (22) drive and is safely stored there for the journey. In a further variant, the system can be supplied with electrical energy for normal operation or for charging an energy store alone or as an additional supply via an inductive coupling by means of a charging device which is partly located in the windshield wiper. In a further variant, energy supply without a battery is possible directly via electrical conductors.
The system is navigated on the disc by a control device (3) , which uses special routines to ensure that all parts of the pane to be cleaned are gradually cleaned. Optionally, sensors can check the degree of soiling at the currently approached position and intensify or prolong the cleaning locally if necessary, for example by ultrasound application, heat application and or the use of additional cleaning agents or mechanical means.
Optionally, sensors for better alignment can tell the system the current position on the slide or the direction of gravity.
Optionally, the system can be based on the structure of an existing window heater or heat protection glazing, which can be done by optical detection of the heating wires or electrical signals in the wires. In a special embodiment, the windshield itself is part of the system and contains special structures for orientation and for local or total heating of the windshield to improve the cleaning result.
Optionally, the system can also be guided through the windshield wipers by following the wipers with sensors (optical, electrical, or other). In addition, the longitudinal direction along the wiper blade can be automatically scanned by the system, or can be specified by the wiper using appropriate electrical signatures which the wiper emits at various points in its longitudinal direction.
Optionally, the system can also determine its position via coded light signals originating from different points by means of a light sensor or can be controlled by an external control unit. In one variant, time-of-light methods are also taken into account in order to determine the degree of soiling of the windscreen and / or the position.
In a solution specially designed for the qualitatively demanding user, the cleaning system forms a unit with the vehicle (21) .

The following advantages result when using the cleaning system according to the invention in vehicles:

• - less effort for car maintenance,
• - increased driving comfort,
• - Avoidance of several safety risks (visual impairment, stopping at unsuitable places, cleaning while driving)

With the system according to the invention, the "dislocations" required for various types of vehicles in manual cleaning are eliminated; there are no residues which disturb the view as is usual in manual cleaning. The windscreen (20) is clean at all times and you have the maximum possible view in all lighting conditions. This significantly reduces the risk of accidents in poor visibility. Accidents or violations of the road traffic regulations by spontaneous cleaning attempts while driving are also eliminated. All in all, the invention eliminates one of the few serious inconveniences for the driver and passengers of motor vehicles remaining to the current state of the art and also prevents the risk of accidents which this inconvenience entails.

The applicant estimates the accident risk described as higher than, for example, the tire burst due to insufficient air pressure.
Tire pressure monitoring systems are now legally required.
The cleaning system described or a pure sensor system that checks the quality of the transparency of the panes would also have the potential to be prescribed by law in the future. The full version of the system can be used or retrofitted to new vehicles. Simple systems can also be marketed in the automotive accessories trade (without the need to manipulate the vehicle). In the automotive service area, mobile systems can be used to service customer vehicles or fleet vehicles in the manner described.
