Abstract

The controller has a transmitter for wireless signal transfer. A receiver mounted in the vehicle causes the closure to be brought into the open position when the signal is received from the controller. The transmitter sends out the signal at equal intervals. The transmission operation is indicated by the transmitter and the transmitter is deactivated before a defined time expires. The transmitter can be deactivated by a deactivation button. The transmitter power is selected so that the signal can only be received when the transmitter is within a few metres of the receiver.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Fernbedienungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a remote control device with the features the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist in Verbindung mit einer Steuerung zur Entriegelung eines Türen- und/oder Klappen-Verschlusses von Bedeutung. Dabei wird der Verschluß durch den Empfänger entriegelt. Der Öffnungsvorgang des Verschlusses geschieht dann wie gewohnt manuell. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist die Vorrichtung aber in Verbindung mit einer Einrichtung zum selbsttätigen Öffnen einer Tür bzw. Klappe des Fahrzeugs. Ein bevorzugtes Beispiel besteht im Kofferraum oder in der Heckklappe. Dabei tritt häufig das Problem auf, vor der Heckklappe mit Gegenständen in beiden Händen zu stehen und den Sender nicht bedienen zu können. Ein Abstellen der Gegenstände kann dann beispielsweise aufgrund der Witterungsverhältnisse und/oder der Gefahr einer erheblichen Verschmutzung des Gegenstands am Boden ausgeschlossen sein. Die Öffnungs-Automatik ist dann in ihrer Wirksamkeit sehr eingeschränkt.Such a device is in connection with a control for unlocking a door and / or flap lock is important. The Closure unlocked by the receiver. The opening process of the Closure is then done manually as usual. Is of particular importance the device but in connection with a device for automatic opening a door or flap of the vehicle. A preferred example is Trunk or in the tailgate. The problem often arises before To stand the tailgate with objects in both hands and not the transmitter to be able to use. The objects can then be parked, for example due to the weather conditions and / or the risk of a significant Soiling of the object on the floor must be excluded. The The automatic opening mechanism is then very limited in its effectiveness.

Überlegungen, dieses Problem durch Verwendung eines Näherungsschalters zu lösen, der bei Annäherung des Fahrzeugbenutzers an die Heckklappe diese selbsttätig öffnet, führen nicht zum Ziel. Häufig tritt der Fall ein, daß der Fahrzeugbenutzer nur am Kofferraum vorbeigeht, ohne die Absicht, diesen zu öffnen. Ein sich dann automatisch öffnender Kofferraum wäre ebenfalls wenig sinnvoll.Considerations to this problem by using a proximity switch solve that when the vehicle user approaches the tailgate automatically opens, do not lead to the goal. It often happens that the Vehicle users only walk past the trunk without intending to to open. A trunk that then opens automatically would also be little sensible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der der Verschluß nur dann entriegelt bzw. geöffnet wird, wenn der Fahrzeugbenutzer dies tatsächlich beabsichtigt. The invention has for its object a device of the beginning to create the type mentioned, in which the closure only unlocks or opens if the vehicle user actually intends to do so.  

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the characterizing features of Claim 1.

Der Fahrzeugbenutzer kann nunmehr auch außerhalb der Reichweite des Senders diesen aktivieren, sein Gepäck in die Hand nehmen und sich dem Kofferraum nähern. Während dieser Zeit sendet der Sender mehrmals das Signals aus. Sobald dieses vom Empfänger aufgenommen wird, wird der Verschluß geöffnet. Erreicht der Fahrzeugbenutzer die Heckklappe, befindet sich diese in jedem Fall in der Offen-Position.The vehicle user can now also be outside the range of the transmitter Activate it, take your luggage in your hand and join the trunk approach. During this time the transmitter sends out the signal several times. As soon as this is picked up by the receiver, the closure is opened. If the vehicle user reaches the tailgate, it is in any case the open position.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Patentansprüchen 2 bis 6 beschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in claims 2 to 6 described.

Aus dem Patentanspruch 2 geht hervor, das Signal in regelmäßigen Abständen auszusenden. Alternativ dazu ist es möglich, die Häufigkeit, mit der das Signal ausgesandt wird, gegen Ende der vorgegebenen Zeit zu erhöhen. Dem liegt die Überlegung zugrunde, daß sich im Normalfall der Fahrzeugbenutzer dann dem Verschluß genähert hat und die Notwendigkeit, diesen zu öffnen, damit zugenommen hat. Dem wird durch eine entsprechende Erhöhung der Sendefrequenz Rechnung getragen.From patent claim 2 it appears that the signal at regular intervals send out. Alternatively, it is possible to change the frequency with which the signal is sent to increase towards the end of the specified time. That is the reason Consideration that normally the vehicle user then Has approached closure and the need to open it so has increased. This is achieved by increasing the Transmission frequency taken into account.

Um den Fahrzeugbenutzer die Sicherheit zu geben, daß der Sender tatsächlich im Sendebetrieb arbeitet, ist es möglich, den Sendebetrieb durch den Sender selbst anzuzeigen. Dies kann sowohl optisch als auch akustisch geschehen.To give the vehicle user the security that the transmitter is actually in the Transmission mode works, it is possible to transmit mode through the transmitter itself display. This can be done both optically and acoustically.

Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, den Sender vor Ablauf der vorgegebenen Zeit deaktivieren zu können. Dies ist beispielsweise dann sinnvoll, wenn der Sender versehentlich aktiviert wurde.Of course, it is also possible to switch the transmitter before the specified one To be able to deactivate time. This is useful, for example, if the Transmitter was accidentally activated.

Zur Deaktivierung kann, sofern für die Aktivierung eine entsprechende Taste vorgesehen ist, vorteilhafterweise dieselbe Taste verwendet werden.A corresponding key can be used for deactivation, provided that it is activated is provided, the same key is advantageously used.

Schließlich kann die Sendeleistung des Senders so bemessen sein, daß das Signal nur in einem Abstand von wenigen Metern vom Fahrzeug mit dem Empfänger aufnehmbar ist. Dadurch ist sowohl die Gefahr einer Fehlauslösung bei versehentlichem Betätigen des Senders als auch die Belastung des Fahrzeugbenutzers mit Elektrosmog vermindert.Finally, the transmission power of the transmitter can be such that the Signal only at a distance of a few meters from the vehicle with the  Receiver is recordable. This both contributes to the risk of false triggering accidental actuation of the transmitter as well as the load on the Vehicle user with electrosmog reduced.

Die vorgegebene Sendezeit des Senders kann beispielsweise gleich 2 min. betragen, die Häufigkeit, mit der das Signal in regelmäßigen Abständen ausgesandt wird, kann beispielsweise gleich 60 mal pro min erfolgen.The predefined transmission time of the transmitter can, for example, equal 2 minutes. amount, the frequency with which the signal periodically can be sent out, for example, 60 times per minute.
