Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem zumindest eine Seitenwange aufweisenden Sitz gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1The invention relates to a motor vehicle with at least one Side cheek seat according to the preamble of claim 1

Aus der WO 97/48571 ist ein Kraftfahrzeugsitz mit sich selbsttätig einstel­ lenden Seitenstützen bekannt. Die Anpassung der Seitenstützen erfolgt in Abhängigkeit von den auftretenden Querbeschleunigungen des Fahrzeuges und/oder der Größe des Lenkradeinschlages und/oder der Fahrzeugge­ schwindigkeit. Zur Erfassung der Größen sind entsprechende Beschleuni­ gungs- bzw. Bewegungssensoren vorgesehen.WO 97/48571 automatically adjusts a motor vehicle seat lumbar side supports known. The side supports are adjusted in Dependence on the lateral acceleration of the vehicle and / or the size of the steering wheel angle and / or the vehicle dizziness. Appropriate accelerations are required to record the quantities Provided or motion sensors.

Die DE 35 05 088 C1 zeigt und beschreibt einen Kraftfahrzeugsitz mit in der Polsterung eingelassenen aufblasbaren Kissen. Durch eine Druckverteilein­ richtung lassen sich die in den randseitigen Sitzbereichen eingebetteten Seitenkissen zur Erzielung der gewünschten Seitenabstützung aktivieren. Zusätzlich ist ein Querbeschleunigungssensor vorgesehene der bei seinem Ansprechen und nicht zugeschalteter Seitenunterstützung ein Füllen der Seitenkissen bis zu einem vorbestimmten Wert herbeiführt. Durch die Ein­ richtung soll im Gefahrenfall, unabhängig von der vorher gewählten Einstel­ lung der Seitenkissen, eine wirksame Seitenabstützung gewährleistet wer­ den.DE 35 05 088 C1 shows and describes a motor vehicle seat in the Upholstery recessed inflatable pillow. Through a pressure distribution direction embedded in the peripheral seating areas Activate side pillows to achieve the desired side support. In addition, a lateral acceleration sensor is provided at his Addressing and not activated side support a filling the Side pillows up to a predetermined value. By the one In the event of danger, the direction should be independent of the previously selected setting side cushions, who ensures effective side support the.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde den Aufwand zur Steuerung der Seitenwange des Fahrzeugsitzes zu reduzieren.The invention has for its object the effort to control the To reduce the side bolster of the vehicle seat.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. The object is solved by the features of claim 1.  

In jüngerer Zeit werden Kraftfahrzeuge zunehmend mit einer elektronisch geregelten Stabilisierungseinrichtung für das Fahrwerk des Kraftfahrzeuges ausgerüstet. Diese Stabilisierungseinrichtungen kontrollieren im Fahrzu­ stand nicht nur längsdynamische Kräfte, sondern ergänzen diese um die Kontrolle querdynamischer Kräfte. Das System wird dann aktiv, wenn das Kraftfahrzeug instabil wird und aus der Spur gerät. Durch eine Sensorik werden die maßgeblichen Parameter ermittelt und in einem Rechner verar­ beitet. Darüber wird ein gezieltes Abbremsen einzelner Räder eingeleitet um das Kraftfahrzeug zu stabilisieren.More recently, motor vehicles are increasingly using an electronic regulated stabilization device for the chassis of the motor vehicle equipped. These stabilization devices control in the Fahrzu stood not only longitudinally dynamic forces, but complement them with the Control of lateral dynamic forces. The system becomes active when that Motor vehicle becomes unstable and gets off track. Through a sensor system the relevant parameters are determined and processed in a computer works. In addition, a targeted braking of individual wheels is initiated to stabilize the motor vehicle.

Dadurch, daß die Signale zumindest eines der Sensoren der Stabilisie­ rungseinrichtung zur Steuerung der Seitenwange des Sitzes verwendet wer­ den, sind separate Sensoren entbehrlich.In that the signals of at least one of the stabilization sensors tion device used to control the side cheek of the seat separate sensors are not necessary.

Die meisten der vorbeschriebenen, elektronisch geregelten Stabilisierungs­ einrichtungen umfassen Sensoren für die Querbeschleunigung, den Lenk­ radwinkel, die Radgeschwindigkeiten und die Gierrate. Die Signale eines oder mehrerer dieser Sensoren können vorteilhaft zur Steuerung der Sei­ tenwange des Sitzes dienen.Most of the previously described electronically controlled stabilization devices include sensors for lateral acceleration, steering wheel angle, wheel speeds and yaw rate. The signals of a or several of these sensors can advantageously be used to control the screen serve the side cheek of the seat.

Bevorzugt wird ein die Querbeschleunigung des Fahrzeuges erfassender Sensor der Stabilisierungseinrichtung zur Steuerung der Bewegung der Seitenwange verwendet.A lateral acceleration of the vehicle is preferred Sensor of the stabilization device for controlling the movement of the Sidewall used.

In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können Sensoren zur Er­ fassung des Lenkradwinkels und der Radgeschwindigkeit und/oder der Gier­ rate des Kraftfahrzeuges die Signale zur Steuerung der Seitenwange des Sitzes liefern. Die Verarbeitung der Signale erfolgt in sinnfälliger Weise für die Fälle, in denen der Insasse eine verbesserte seitliche Abstützung benö­ tigt. In an sich bekannter Weise kann die Anpassung kontinuierlich erfolgen. Oftmals ist es gewünscht, daß bei stehendem Fahrzeug zumindest die der Türe zugewandte Seitenwände ihre tiefste Stellung einnimmt, um das Ein- und Aussteigen zu erleichtern. Auch dies läßt sich durch die Signale der vorhandenen Sensoren der Stabilisierungseinrichtung steuern.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, sensors for Er Detection of the steering wheel angle and the wheel speed and / or greed rate of the motor vehicle the signals for controlling the sidewall of the Deliver seat. The processing of the signals takes place in a sensible manner for the cases in which the occupant needs improved lateral support does. The adaptation can be carried out continuously in a manner known per se. It is often desired that at least that of the vehicle when stationary Sidewalls facing the door assume their lowest position in order to and facilitate getting out. This can also be demonstrated by the signals from the control existing sensors of the stabilization device.

Vorteilhaft ist eine Ausgestaltung, bei der durch den Gierratensensor der Stabilisierungseinrichtung ermittelten relativ hohen Gierraten die Seiten­ wange ihre eine größtmögliche Abstützung des Insassen gewährende Stel­ lung einnimmt. Hohe Gierraten treten auf, wenn sich das Fahrzeug um einen größeren Winkelbetrag um seine Hochachse dreht. Wenn ein Ausgleich durch die Stabilisierungseinrichtung nicht mehr möglich ist, dann stellt dies eine äußerst unfallträchtige Fahrsituation dar. Um den Insassen bei einem möglichen Aufprall, insbesondere bei einem Seitenaufprall, verbessert zu schützen, sollen bei diesem Fahrzustand die Seitenwangen in ihre eine größtmögliche Seitenabstützung gewährleistende Stellung gebracht werden.An embodiment is advantageous in which the yaw rate sensor Stabilization device determined relatively high yaw rates the sides cheek their stel providing the greatest possible support to the occupant lung occupies. High yaw rates occur when the vehicle is around you  larger angular amount rotates about its vertical axis. If a compensation is no longer possible by the stabilizing device, then this constitutes represents an extremely accident-prone driving situation. To the occupant at one possible impact, especially in the event of a side impact, is improved should protect the sidewalls in their one in this driving condition position ensuring the greatest possible side support.

Durch diese Maßnahme wird der Insasse verbessert im Sitz gehalten; die Gefahr, aufgrund der Massenträgheitskräfte gegen die Seitenstruktur des Fahrzeuges geschleudert zu werden, reduziert sich für den Insassen.As a result of this measure, the occupant is better kept in the seat; the Danger due to the inertial forces against the side structure of the Being thrown into the vehicle is reduced for the occupant.

Hervorzuheben ist, daß die Steuerung über den Gierratensensor auch dann wirksam ist, wenn das Fahrzeug durch äußere Kräfte in eine Drehbewegung um die Hochachse versetzt wird. Dies kann beispielsweise der Fall sein, wenn das Fahrzeug einen seitlichen Stoßimpuls durch Kontakt mit einem Gegenstand oder einem anderen Fahrzeug erhält. Auch dann, wenn sich das Fahrzeug beispielsweise bei Glatteis um die Hochachse dreht, ergibt der Gierratensensor einen zuverlässigen Impuls. Die bekannten Sensoren zur Erfassung der Querbeschleunigung, des Lenkradwinkels oder der Rad­ geschwindigkeit lassen in diesem Betriebszustand keine eindeutige Aus­ wertung zu.It should be emphasized that the control via the yaw rate sensor also then is effective when the vehicle is rotated by external forces is offset around the vertical axis. This can be the case, for example, when the vehicle has a side impact pulse from contact with a Object or other vehicle. Even if it is the vehicle rotates around the vertical axis, for example in the case of black ice the yaw rate sensor provides a reliable pulse. The well-known sensors to record the lateral acceleration, the steering wheel angle or the wheel speed do not leave a clear stop in this operating state rating to.

Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, daß die Verwendung der Sensoren der Stabilisierungseinrichtung zur Steuerung der Seitenwange des Sitzes nicht nur Kosten spart, sondern auch die Sicherheit erhöht, da weitere Betriebs­ zustände des Fahrzeuges erfaßt werden, die eine Ansteuerung der Seiten­ wangen in ihre eine größtmögliche Abstützung des Insassen gewährende Stellung (Schutzstellung) erfordern.In summary, it can be stated that the use of the sensors of the Stabilizing device for controlling the side cheek of the seat is not only saves costs, but also increases security, since further operations States of the vehicle are detected, the control of the pages cheeks in her providing the greatest possible support to the occupant Require position (protective position).

Abschließend sei darauf hingewiesen, daß unter verstellbaren Seitenwan­ gen des Sitzes alle seitlichen Abstützungen eines Sitzes zu verstehen sind, die im Bereich des Sitzkissens, der Rückenlehne oder der Kopfstütze ange­ ordnet sind. Zur Verstellung der Seitenwangen können an sich bekannte Maßnahmen Verwendung finden, beispielsweise solche, die mit Luftkissen oder mit einem Gestänge arbeiten.Finally, it should be pointed out that under adjustable side wall all side supports of a seat must be understood in relation to the seat, those in the area of the seat cushion, the backrest or the headrest are arranged. Known to adjust the side cheeks Measures are used, for example those with air cushions or work with a boom.
