Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zur Aufprallerkennung mittels Körperschall in einem Fahrzeug nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs.The invention is based on one Device for impact detection using structure-borne noise in a vehicle according to the genus of the independent Claim.
Die Verwendung von Körperschall
zur Charakterisierung von einem Aufprall ist bereits bekannt. So
ist aus der
Nachteilig an solchen Körperschallsensoren ist, dass damit kein unmittelbarer Vorteil gegenüber dem ungefilterten Signal eines zentralen Beschleunigungssensors erzielt werden konnte. Die Zusatzinformation durch die Körperschallsignale ist also nicht ausreichend.A disadvantage of such structure-borne noise sensors is that this is not an immediate advantage over the unfiltered signal of a central acceleration sensor could be achieved.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of invention
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Aufprallerkennung mittels Körperschall in einem Fahrzeug mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung durch die verteilten Detektoren im Fahrzeug und einen Schwingungssensor, mit dem die Detektoren über Schallleiter verbunden sind, eine frühzeitige und ausführliche Crashanalyse möglich ist. Es liegt damit die Auswertung eines sogenannten Crashsounds vor. Diese Körperschallinformationen, die von den Detektoren erzeugt werden, liefern Informationen über ein sehr frühes Stadium des Crashes. Da die Schallleiter, die beispielsweise Festkörper sind eine hohe Schallgeschwindigkeit von ungefähr 5000 m/s aufweisen, ist eine schnelle Übertragung zu einem beispielsweise zentral angeordneten Schwingungssensor möglich. Anhand dieses Signals über den Körperschall, den die Detektoren in Abhängigkeit von dem Aufprall erzeugen, sind interessante Informationen über den Aufprall beinhaltet. Dazu gehört beispielsweise die Abschätzung der effektiven Masse. Über den Impulssatz kann die effektive Masse unter Hinzunahme eines Signals von einem Aufprallsensor, vorzugsweise einem Precrashsensor, ermittelt werden. Beim Aufprall erfolgt ein Impulsübertrag auf das Fahrzeug und damit den Detektor. Es besteht damit ein Zusammenhang zwischen charakteristischen Eigenschaften (Frequnez und Amplitude) des erzeugten Schalls und/oder dem Impulsübertrag. Mit diesem Zusarmenhang könnte in einem frühen Stadium des Unfalls eine Abschätzung des Impulsübertrags vorgenommen werden. Damit ist eine Voraussage der Schwere des Crashes möglich und damit eine verbesserte Ansteuerung der Rückhaltemittel. Mithin führt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zu einer angepassteren und sichereren Verwendung von Rückhaltemitteln und damit zu einem besseren Schutz für die Insassen. Das von den Detektoren erzeugte charakteristische Körperschallsignal kann auch zur Beurteilung des Crashtyps dienen. Beispielsweise kann damit auf einen Crash mit einer deformierbaren Barriere oder einer nicht deformierbaren Barriere geschlossen werden.The device for impact detection according to the invention by means of structure-borne noise in a vehicle with the features of the independent claim In contrast, the advantage that in the device according to the invention by the distributed Detectors in the vehicle and a vibration sensor with which the Detectors over Sound conductors are connected, an early and detailed crash analysis possible is. It is the evaluation of a so-called crash sound in front. This structure-borne information, generated by the detectors provide information about very early Stage of the crash. Because the sound conductors, which are solid, for example a high speed of sound of approximately 5000 m / s is one fast transfer possible for a centrally located vibration sensor, for example. Based this signal over the structure-borne noise, depending on the detectors generate from the impact is interesting information about the impact includes. That is part of it for example the estimate the effective mass. about The pulse rate can be the effective mass with the addition of a signal determined by an impact sensor, preferably a pre-crash sensor become. In the event of an impact, impulses are transmitted to the vehicle and thus the detector. There is thus a connection between characteristic ones Properties (frequency and amplitude) of the sound generated and / or the momentum transfer. With this connection could in an early Stage of the accident an estimate of momentum transfer be made. This is a prediction of the severity of the crash possible and thus an improved control of the restraint means. Hence the device according to the invention for a more adapted and safer use of restraint devices and thus better protection for the occupants. That of the Characteristic structure-borne noise signal generated by detectors can also serve to assess the crash type. For example, with it for a crash with a deformable barrier or not deformable barrier to be closed.
Durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen und Weiterbildungen sind vorteilhafte Verbesserungen der im unabhängigen Patentanspruch angegebenen Vorrichtung zur Aufprallerkennung mittels Körperschall in einem Fahrzeug möglich.Through the measures listed in the dependent claims and further developments are advantageous improvements in the independent claim specified device for impact detection by means of structure-borne noise possible in one vehicle.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass der wenigstens eine Detektor mit dem wenigstens einen Schwingungssensor über wenigstens einen Schallleiter verbunden ist. Diese Schallleiter sind entweder tragende Teile der Fahrzeugkonstruktion oder speziell dafür vorgesehene Schallleiter, die zum Beispiel aus Festkörpern bestehen und, wie oben dargestellt, eine Schallgeschwindigkeit der Longitudinalwellen von typischerweise einigen tausend m/s ermöglichen. Hier sind auch Flüssigkeiten als Schallleiter denkbar.It is particularly advantageous that the at least one detector with the at least one vibration sensor via at least a sound conductor is connected. These sound conductors are either load-bearing Parts of the vehicle construction or specially designed sound conductors, which for example consist of solid bodies exist and, as shown above, a speed of sound of Enable longitudinal waves of typically a few thousand m / s. There are liquids here too conceivable as a sound conductor.
Der Schwingungssensor kann zentral im Fahrzeug, beispielsweise im Bereich des Fahrzeugtunnels, angeordnet sein und ist vorzugsweise als Beschleunigungsaufnehmer ausgebildet. Als Beschleunigungsaufnehmer, insbesondere als ein elektronischer Beschleunigungssensor, ist er dabei für eine Bandbreite von bis zu 50 kHz und einer Abtastrate von 5 bis 10 μs ausgebildet.The vibration sensor can be central arranged in the vehicle, for example in the area of the vehicle tunnel be and is preferably designed as an accelerometer. As an accelerometer, especially as an electronic one Accelerometer, he is there for a bandwidth of up to 50 kHz and a sampling rate of 5 to 10 μs.
Die Detektoren der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind derart ausgebildet, dass sie den Schall nach dem Stimmgabelprinzip erzeugen. Solche Detektoren können beispielsweise mikromechanisch hergestellt sein, vorzugsweise aus Metall. Die Detektoren sind dabei im Fahrzeug verteilt angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist jeweils einer an der Fahrzeugseite angebracht und im Bereich der Fahrzeugfront sollte wenigstens ein Detektor angeordnet sein. Die Verwendung von zwei Detektoren ist für die Lokalisierung des Aufprallpunkts von besonderem Vorteil.The detectors of the device according to the invention are designed so that they sound according to the tuning fork principle produce. Such detectors can be produced, for example, micromechanically, preferably from Metal. The detectors are distributed in the vehicle. Preferably one is attached to each side of the vehicle and in the area at least one detector should be arranged on the front of the vehicle. The use of two detectors is for the location of the impact point of particular advantage.

Beschreibungdescription
Zur frühen Charakterisierung von Aufprallvorgängen an Kraftfahrzeugen werden zur Zeit beispielsweise sogenannte Upfront-Sensoren verwendet, deren Beschleunigungsdaten insbesondere bei schweren Frontalcrashs deutlich früher eine Erkennung des Unfalls zulassen als ein Beschleunigungssensor im zentralen Steuergerät. Diese liefern nämlich aufgrund der Verformung der Fahrzeugfront erst deutlich später höhere Beschleunigungswerte.So-called upfront sensors, for example, are currently used for the early characterization of impact processes on motor vehicles, the acceleration data of which, in particular in the event of severe frontal crashes, allow the accident to be detected much earlier than an acceleration sensor in the central control unit. Due to the deformation of the front of the vehicle, these deliver higher acceleration values only significantly later.
Es wurde versucht, mit Körperschallsensoren, vor allem bei Seitencrashes, eine frühere Detektion des Aufpralls zu ermöglichen. Dies ist besonders wichtig, da gerade bei einem Seitencrash die Deformationszone besonders klein ist und entsprechend die Auslösezeiten für Rückhaltesysteme, beispielsweise Seitenairbags, extrem kurz sind. Mit speziellen Körperschallsensoren konnte jedoch kein unmittelbarer Vorteil gegenüber dem ungefiltertem Signal des zentralen Beschleunigungssensors erzielt werden.An attempt was made to use structure-borne noise sensors, especially in the event of a side crash, an earlier detection of the impact to enable. This is particularly important, because the Deformation zone is particularly small and the trigger times accordingly for restraint systems, for example side airbags, are extremely short. With special structure-borne noise sensors however, could not have an immediate advantage over the unfiltered signal of the central acceleration sensor can be achieved.
Erfindungsgemäß wird nun eine Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen, die im Fahrzeug verteilte Detektoren aufweist, die in Abhängigkeit von einem Aufprall Schall erzeugen, der über Schallleiter zu wenigstens einem zentralen Schwingungssensor übertragen wird. Die Übertragung dieses sogenannten Crashsounds, der direkt in unmittelbarer Nähe vom Aufprallort erzeugt wird, geht über die Schallleiter, also beispielsweise tragende Teile der Karosserie, sehr schnell vonstatten, wobei bei einer Schallgeschwindigkeit von 5000 m/s innerhalb von Bruchteilen einer ms eine Übertragung zu einem zentral angeordneten Schwingungssensor möglich ist. Aus diesem Crashsound kann durch Signalauswertung eine sehr frühzeitige Analyse des Aufpralls durchgeführt werden. Wie oben dargestellt, kann daraus unter Zuhilfenahme der Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen dem Fahrzeug und dem Aufprallobjekt eine Schätzung der effektiven Masse des Aufprallobjekts durchgeführt werden und damit eine Vorhersage über die Unfallschwere. Ist eine Vorhersage über die Unfallschwere möglich, dann können die Rückhaltemittel angepasst aktiviert werden und so der Schutz der Insassen verbessert werden. Durch Anordnung von mehreren Detektoren kann beispielsweise durch Verwendung verschiedener Frequenzen des erzeugten Schalls eine Zuordnung zum Aufprallort vorgenommen werden. Damit ist dann eine Richtungsbestimmung möglich. Dies ersetzt beispielsweise Beschleunigungssensoren, die in verschiedenen Richtungen angeordnet sind.According to the invention, a device is now proposed which has detectors distributed in the vehicle which are dependent generate sound from an impact that is transmitted to at least one via sound conductors central vibration sensor is transmitted. The transfer this so-called crash sound, which is in the immediate vicinity of the point of impact is generated passes the sound conductors, for example load-bearing parts of the body, very quickly, with a speed of sound of 5000 m / s a transmission within fractions of a ms to a centrally located vibration sensor is possible. This crash sound can result in a very early signal evaluation Impact analysis performed become. As shown above, this can be done with the help of Relative speed between the vehicle and the impact object an estimate the effective mass of the impact object and thus a prediction about the severity of the accident. If it is possible to predict the severity of the accident, then can the restraint can be activated to improve occupant protection become. By arranging several detectors, for example by using different frequencies of the sound generated an assignment to the impact location can be made. Then that is a direction determination possible. This replaces, for example, acceleration sensors in different Directions are arranged.
Die Detektoren D1, D2, D3 und D4 sind hier nach dem Stimmgabelprinzip ausgebildet. Es ist jedoch möglich, dass die Detektoren D1, D2, D3 und D4 auch nach anderen Prinzipien gefertigt werden, die die Erzeugung von Schall ermöglichen. Es ist auch möglich, hier elektronische Aktoren zu verwenden.The detectors D1, D2, D3 and D4 are trained according to the tuning fork principle. However, it is possible, that the detectors D1, D2, D3 and D4 also work according to other principles be manufactured that allow the generation of sound. It is also possible, to use electronic actuators here.
