Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Scheiben-Reinigungsanlage für Fahrzeuge der im Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 genannten Art. The invention relates to a disc cleaning system for vehicles referred to in the preamble of
Solche Scheiben-Reinigungsanlagen finden insbesondere bei Personenkraftwagen, Lastkraftwagen und Arbeitsfahrzeugen Verwendung, um beispielsweise die Front-Windschutzscheibe, die Heckscheibe, die Scheinwerfer-Abdeckscheiben oder auch die Außenspiegelgläser zu reinigen. Such disc cleaning systems are used in particular in passenger cars, trucks and work vehicles use, for example, to clean the front windshield, the rear window, the headlight cover plates or the exterior mirror lenses.
Zu diesem Zweck umfassen diese Scheiben-Reinigungsanlagen eine Pumpe, welche die zur Reinigung dienende Flüssigkeit, bei der es sich üblicherweise um Wasser oder um ein Gemisch aus Wasser und Reinigungsmittel handelt, wobei in beiden Fällen auch noch ein Frostschutzmittel zugegeben sein kann, aus einem Vorratsbehälter zu wenigstens einer Düse fördert, die einen Flüssigkeitsstrahl auf die zu reinigende Fahrzeugscheibe versprüht. For this purpose, these disc cleaning systems include a pump, which is the serving for cleaning fluid, which is usually water or a mixture of water and detergent, in both cases, an antifreeze may be added from a reservoir promotes to at least one nozzle that sprays a jet of liquid on the vehicle window to be cleaned.
Die dem Stand der Technik entsprechenden Scheiben-Reinigungsanlagen weisen keine über den Reinigungsvorgang hinausgehenden, zusätzlichen Funktionen auf. The disc cleaning systems according to the state of the art have no additional functions beyond the cleaning process.
Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Scheiben-Reinigungsanlage der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine erheblich erweiterte Funktionalität besitzt. In contrast, the present invention seeks to provide a disc cleaning system of the type mentioned, which has a significantly enhanced functionality.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung die im Anspruch 1 niedergelegten Merkmale vor. To solve this problem, the invention provides the features set out in
Gemäß der Erfindung ist eine Lichtquelle vorgesehen, die während des Sprühvorganges zur Abgabe von Licht ansteuerbar ist, das auf den von der wenigstens einen Düse versprühten Flüssigkeitsstrahl übertragbar ist, sodass dieser leuchtet bzw. zu leuchten scheint. According to the invention, a light source is provided which is controllable during the spraying process for the delivery of light, which is transferable to the liquid jet sprayed by the at least one nozzle, so that it shines or lights up.
Wird, wie dies besonders bevorzugt ist, als Lichtquelle eine RGB-LED verwendet, die durch entsprechende Ansteuersignale dazu gebracht werden kann, wahlweise weißes, rotes, grünes oder blaues Licht abzugeben, so dass auch der aus der Düse austretende Flüssigkeitsstrahl jeweils in einer dieser Farben leuchtet, können nicht nur reizvolle optische Effekte erzielt werden, sondern es ist auch möglich, dem Benutzer des Fahrzeugs hilfreiche Hinweise, insbesondere Warnhinweise bezüglich des Zustandes der Scheiben-Reinigungsanlage zu geben. Is, as is particularly preferred, used as a light source RGB LED, which can be made by appropriate control signals to deliver either white, red, green or blue light, so that also emerging from the nozzle liquid jet in each of these colors lights, not only attractive visual effects can be achieved, but it is also possible to give the user of the vehicle helpful information, in particular warnings regarding the state of the windshield cleaning system.
So kann beispielsweise ein Füllstandsensor für den Vorratsbehälter der zur Reinigung dienenden Flüssigkeit vorgesehen sein, dessen Ausgangssignal beim Unterschreiten eines oder mehrerer vorgegebener Pegel dazu verwendet wird, die Farbe des von der Lichtquelle abgegebenen Lichtes zu ändern, um dem Benutzer des Fahrzeugs eine entsprechende Information über den Füllstand im Vorratsbehälter zu liefern. Thus, for example, a level sensor for the reservoir of serving for cleaning liquid may be provided, the output signal is used when falling below one or more predetermined levels to change the color of the light emitted from the light source to the user of the vehicle corresponding information about the Fill level in the reservoir.
Auch ist es möglich, einen Sensor für den Frostschutzmittelgehalt der zur Reinigung dienenden Flüssigkeit vorzusehen, dessen Ausgangssignal dazu verwendet wird, die Farbe des von der Lichtquelle abgegebenen Lichts zu ändern, um anzuzeigen, dass der Frostschutzmittelgehalt der Flüssigkeit unter einen vorgebbaren Grenzwert abgesunken ist. It is also possible to provide a sensor for the antifreeze content of the liquid to be cleaned, whose output signal is used to change the color of the light emitted by the light source to indicate that the antifreeze content of the liquid has dropped below a predeterminable limit.
Die Übertragung des von der Lichtquelle abgegebenen Lichts auf den Flüssigkeitsstrahl kann entweder mithilfe einer an der wenigstens einen Düse angeordneten Beleuchtungsoptik erfolgen. The transmission of the light emitted by the light source to the liquid jet can be done either by means of an arranged at the at least one nozzle illumination optics.
Es kann aber auch eine Einkoppelstelle vorgesehen sein, an welcher das von der Lichtquelle abgegebene Licht in die durch die Scheiben-Reinigungsanlage strömende Flüssigkeit eingestrahlt wird, die dann zumindest abschnittsweise als Lichtleiter dient. Die Einkoppelstelle kann an jeder geeigneten Stelle vor oder auch direkt in der den Flüssigkeitsstrahl abgebenden Düse bzw. Düsen vorgesehen sein. However, it can also be provided a Einkoppelstelle at which the light emitted by the light source is irradiated into the liquid flowing through the disc cleaning system, which then at least partially serves as a light guide. The coupling-in point can be provided at any suitable point in front of or also directly in the nozzle or nozzles emitting the liquid jet.
Dabei kann die Lichtquelle flüssigkeitsdicht so verbaut sein, dass sie unmittelbar in die Flüssigkeitsleitung der Scheiben-Reinigungsanlage hineinragt. In this case, the light source can be liquid-tight so installed that it protrudes directly into the liquid line of the disc cleaning system.
Alternativ hierzu kann aber auch ein Festkörper-Lichtleiter vorgesehen sein, der ein außerhalb der Flüssigkeitsleitung liegendes Licht-Einkoppelende, in dessen Bereich die Lichtquelle angeordnet ist, und ein in die Flüssigkeitsleitung hineinragendes Licht-Auskoppelende aufweist. In diesem Fall kann die Lichtquelle auch in einem größeren Abstand von der Scheiben-Reinigungsanlage positioniert werden, der durch den Festkörper-Lichtleiter überbrückt wird. Alternatively, however, it is also possible to provide a solid-state light conductor which has a light-coupling end lying outside the liquid line, in the region of which the light source is arranged, and a light-coupling end projecting into the liquid line. In this case, the light source can also be positioned at a greater distance from the disk cleaning system, which is bridged by the solid-state light guide.
Diese und andere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Scheiben-Reinigungsanlage sind in den Unteransprüchen niedergelegt. These and other advantageous developments of the disc cleaning system according to the invention are laid down in the dependent claims.
