Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Neigungssensor mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruches 1.The The invention relates to a tilt sensor having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Ein durch Benutzung bekannter Neigungssensor dieser Art weist ein geschlossenes Gehäuse auf, welches teilweise mit Quecksilber als einem Signalgeber gefüllt ist und in einer Ausgangsstellung oberhalb des Quecksilberpegels zwei Kontakte aufweist. Bei einer bestimmten Neigung des Gehäuses tauchen die beiden Kontakte ins Quecksilber ein, wodurch ein Signalstrom fließen kann. Problematisch ist die Verwendung einer hochgiftigen Substanz – wie Quecksilber – in einem von Menschen benutzten Fahrzeug.One by using known inclination sensor of this type has a closed Housing on, which is partially filled with mercury as a signal generator and in a home position above the mercury level two Has contacts. Dive at a certain inclination of the housing the two contacts into the mercury, creating a signal current flow can. The problem is the use of a highly toxic substance - such as mercury - in one vehicle used by humans.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Neigungssensor der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Neigungssensor mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Of the Invention is based on the object, a tilt sensor of to improve the type mentioned above. This object is achieved by a tilt sensor with the features of claim 1 solved. advantageous Embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Dadurch, dass am Gehäuse wenigstens ein Hallsensor vorgesehen ist, welcher in einer Ausgangsstellung vom Signalgeber beabstandet ist und sich bei einer Neigungsänderung des Gehäuses relativ zum Signalgeber an den Signalgeber annähert und bei Erreichen einer Schaltschwelle aufgrund einer elektromagnetischen Wechselwirkung mit dem Signalgeber ein Signal abgibt, steht ein ungiftiger Neigungssensor zur Verfügung, der zudem einfach herzustellen ist. Die elektromagne tische Wechselwirkung zwischen Signalgeber und Hallsensor erlaubt es, den Hallsensor in einer gewissen Distanz zum Signalgeber anzuordnen, beispielsweise außerhalb des Gehäuses. Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn im Gehäuse noch ein Dämpfungsmittel, beispielsweise Öl, enthalten ist, welches aufgrund seiner Viskosität eine Bewegung des Signalgebers dämpft, um Überschwingen oder Resonanzen zu vermeiden. Der Hallsensor kommt dann nicht in Kontakt mit dem Öl. Spezielle Geometrien des Gehäuses, beispielsweise Luftspalte oder enge Blenden für das Dämpfungsmittel, sind ebenfalls zur Dämpfung geeignet. Die Schaltschwelle ist durch die Position des Hallsensors am Gehäuse einstellbar ist, d.h. durch die Relativanordnung zum Signalgeber und zur Neigungsachse des Gehäuses in der Ausgangsstellung. Für ein konstengünstige Herstellung besteht das Gehäuse aus Kunststoff, welcher zudem die elektromagnetische Wechselwirkung nicht behindert.Thereby, that on the case at least one Hall sensor is provided, which in an initial position spaced from the signal generator and at a change in inclination of the housing relative to the signal generator approaches the signal generator and upon reaching a Switching threshold due to an electromagnetic interaction with the signal generator emits a signal, is a non-toxic tilt sensor to disposal, which is also easy to make. The electromagnetic interaction between the signal transmitter and Hall sensor allows the Hall sensor in to arrange a certain distance to the signal generator, for example outside the Housing. This is particularly advantageous if the housing still a damping means, for example, oil, is contained, which dampens due to its viscosity movement of the signal generator to overshoot or to avoid resonances. The Hall sensor will not come in then Contact with the oil. Special geometries of the housing, For example, air gaps or narrow apertures for the damping means are also suitable for damping. The switching threshold is adjustable by the position of the Hall sensor on the housing is, i. by the relative arrangement to the signal generator and to the tilt axis of the housing in the starting position. For a cheapest Production consists of the housing made of plastic, which also has the electromagnetic interaction not disabled.
Der vorzugsweise als träge Masse dienende Signalgeber weist vorzugsweise einen Permanentmagneten auf, kann aber alternativ oder in Kombination durch ein Ferrofluid gebildet werden, welches dann außer der Funktion als Signalgeber vorzugsweise zugleich die Funktion des Dämpfungsmittels beinhaltet.Of the preferably as sluggish Ground serving signal generator preferably has a permanent magnet but may alternatively or in combination by a ferrofluid are formed, which then except the function as a signal generator preferably at the same time includes the function of the damping means.
