Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Aufzeichnung und Darstellung von Verbrauchs- und Fahrdaten.The invention relates to a method and a device for recording and displaying of consumption and driving data.
Häufig möchte der Kraftfahrzeugführer sein Fahrverhalten analysieren. Hierzu möchte der Kraftfahrzeugführer beispielsweise wissen, wie häufig er sein Kraftfahrzeug überhaupt benutzt, was er für Fahrstrecken zurücklegt oder wieviel Kraftstoff er verbraucht. Um alle diese Informationen zu erhalten, muß der Kraftfahrzeugführer ein Fahrtenbuch führen und die entsprechenden Angaben von Anzeigeelementen, wie beispielsweise Kilometerzählern und Füllmenge an der Zapfsäule, notieren. Neben der sehr mühseligen Schreibarbeit liegt ein weiteres Problem darin, daß die Aussagekraft der aufgezeichneten Daten von deren Vollständigkeit abhängt. Vergißt der Kraftfahrzeugführer zwischenzeitlich die Aufzeichnung, so sind die Daten größtenteils wertlos.The motor vehicle driver often wants to analyze his driving behavior. For this, the Motor vehicle drivers, for example, know how often they drive their motor vehicle at all uses what it travels or how much fuel it uses. To everyone to obtain this information, the driver must keep a logbook and the corresponding information from display elements, such as odometers and fill quantity at the petrol pump. Besides the very tedious paperwork lies Another problem is that the meaningfulness of the recorded data from their Completeness depends. If the driver forgets the record in the meantime, so the data is largely worthless.
Der Erfindung liegt daher das technische Problem zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Aufzeichnung und Darstellung von Verbrauchs- und Fahrdaten zu schaffen, mittels derer eine automatische Aufzeichnung und Darstellung der interessierenden Verbrauchs- und Fahrdaten ermöglicht wird.The invention is therefore based on the technical problem, a method and a To provide a device for recording and displaying consumption and driving data, by means of which an automatic recording and representation of the interested Consumption and driving data is made possible.
Die Lösung des technischen Problems ergibt sich durch die Gegenstände der Patentansprüche 1 und 3. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The solution to the technical problem arises from the subjects of Claims 1 and 3. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.
Hierzu umfaßt die Vorrichtung mindestens ein Steuergerät mit einer Bordnetzuhr und mindestens einem Zähler, wobei dem Steuergerät ein Betriebssignal des Kraftfahrzeuges und/oder ein Signal über die zurückgelegte Fahrstrecke und/oder ein Signal über den Füllstand des Kraftfahrzeuges zuführbar und mittels der Zähler aufaddierbar ist, wodurch ein "elektronisches Fahrtenbuch" realisiert wird. Dabei kann die Vorrichtung im wesentlichen auf vorhandene Daten zurückgreifen. Durch ein Startsignal wird der Aufzeichnungszeitraum definiert und die Zeit vom Startzeitpunkt kontinuierlich erfaßt. Mittels eines Betriebssignals kann dann ein Zähler bzw. ein Speicherelement angesteuert werden. Hierzu sind verschiedene Signale verwendbar, wie beispielsweise ein die Zündung oder den Generatorbetrieb anzeigendes Signal. Die zurückgelegte Fahrstrecke wird bereits bei herkömmlichen Kraftfahrzeugen erfaßt und muß daher nur in Form eines elektronischen Signals dem Steuergerät zugeführt werden. Der Kraftstoffverbrauch kann mittels eines Füllstandssensors erfaßt werden, wobei Tankvorgänge aufgrund der Sprünge des Füllstandes mit erfaßt werden. Selbstverständlich können bei Bedarf auch der Verbrauch anderer Betriebsflüssigkeiten wie Motoröl oder Kühlwasser mit aufgezeichnet und dargestellt werden.For this purpose, the device comprises at least one control unit with an on-board power supply and at least one counter, the control device receiving an operating signal from the motor vehicle and / or a signal about the distance traveled and / or a signal about the Fill level of the motor vehicle can be supplied and added by means of the counter, which means "electronic logbook" is realized. The device can essentially be based on use existing data. The recording period is indicated by a start signal defined and the time from the start time recorded continuously. By means of an operating signal can then be controlled a counter or a memory element. For this are Various signals can be used, such as the ignition or the Generator operation signal. The distance traveled is already at conventional motor vehicles and therefore only needs to be in the form of an electronic Signals are fed to the control unit. The fuel consumption can be determined by means of a Fill level sensor are detected, fueling due to the jumps of the Fill level can be detected with. Of course, if necessary, the consumption other operating fluids such as engine oil or cooling water are also recorded and displayed become.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird aus der zurückgelegten Fahrstrecke und der Fahrzeit eine Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit berechnet und angezeigt. Aus der zurückgelegten Fahrstrecke und dem Kraftstoffverbrauch läßt sich darüber hinaus ein mittlerer Kraftstoffverbrauch berechnen und anzeigen.In a further preferred embodiment, the distance traveled is and the driving time calculated and displayed an average speed. From the distance traveled and fuel consumption can also be entered Calculate and display average fuel consumption.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt eine beispielhafte Darstellung von Verbrauchs- und Fahrdaten.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of a preferred exemplary embodiment explained. The single figure shows an example of consumption and Driving data.
Die Darstellung umfaßt ein erstes Feld 1, in dem das Datum des Startsignals dargestellt ist. Hierzu wird beispielsweise mit dem Startsignal das aktuelle Datum von der Bordnetzuhr abgefragt und in einem Speicher abgelegt. Dort bleibt dieses Datum solange erhalten, bis durch die Taste 2 "Zurücksetzen" ein neues Startsignal für einen neuen Aufzeichnungszeitraum generiert wird. In einem zweiten Feld 3 wird der Aufzeichnungszeitraum in Tagen dargestellt. Dieses Datum kann prinzipiell auf zwei Arten berechnet werden. Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, daß ein Zähler jeweils bei Tagesablauf einen Zählimpuls von der Bordnetzuhr erhält. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht in einer direkten Berechnung aus dem aktuellen Datum und den Daten des Steuersignals mittels der bekannten Algorithmen für Datumsberechnungen. In einem weiteren Feld 4 wird die reale Fahrzeit dargestellt. Hierzu wird beispielsweise bei Beginn des Startvorganges durch das Zündungssignal die Uhrzeit von der Bordnetzuhr abgespeichert. Analog wird bei der Abschaltung des Zündungssignals erneut die Bordnetzuhrzeit abgespeichert. Aus der Differenz der beiden Uhrzeiten kann dann die reale Fahrzeit ermittelt und sukzessive aufaddiert werden. Alternativ kann auch ein Zähler mit der Zündung eingeschaltet bzw. ausgeschaltet werden. In einem Feld 5 wird die absolut zurückgelegte Fahrstrecke im Aufzeichnungszeitraum dargestellt, wozu beispielsweise auf die Daten des im Tachometer angeordneten Kilometerzählers zurückgegriffen wird. Des weiteren erfaßt das nicht dargestellt Steuergerät die Daten von einem Füllstandssensor des Kraftstoffes, woraus das Steuergerät den Verbrauch an Kraftstoff berechnen kann. Dieser absolute Verbrauch wird dann zur gesamten zurückgelegten Fahrstrecke in Feld 5 in Relation gesetzt. Das Ergebnis ist der durchschnittliche Kraftstoffverbrauch, der bezogen auf 100 km in Feld 6 dargestellt ist. Aus der zurückgelegten Fahrstrecke in Feld 5 und der Fahrzeit in Feld 4 kann eine Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit berechnet und in Feld 7 dargestellt werden.The representation comprises a first field 1 , in which the date of the start signal is shown. For this purpose, the current date is queried by the on-board power supply with the start signal, for example, and stored in a memory. This date is retained there until key 2 "Reset" generates a new start signal for a new recording period. The recording period is shown in days in a second field 3 . In principle, this date can be calculated in two ways. One possibility is that a counter receives a counting pulse from the on-board power supply each day. Another possibility is a direct calculation from the current date and the data of the control signal using the known algorithms for date calculations. In another field 4 the real travel time is shown. For this purpose, the time is saved by the on-board power supply, for example at the start of the starting process by the ignition signal. Similarly, when the ignition signal is switched off, the on-board electrical system time is saved again. The real travel time can then be determined from the difference between the two times and added successively. Alternatively, a counter can be switched on or off with the ignition. A field 5 shows the distance traveled in absolute terms during the recording period, for which purpose, for example, the data from the odometer arranged in the speedometer is used. Furthermore, the control unit (not shown) captures the data from a fuel level sensor, from which the control unit can calculate the fuel consumption. This absolute consumption is then related to the total distance traveled in field 5 . The result is the average fuel consumption, which is shown in field 6 for 100 km. An average speed can be calculated from the distance traveled in field 5 and the driving time in field 4 and displayed in field 7 .
