Abstract

Air jets are mounted under the front bumper to direct blasts of compressed air onto the road immediately in front of the front wheels. The air jets are set at 75 deg. to vertical and driven either by an electric or mechanical pump coupled to the engine. Alternatively exhaust gases may be used to drive a turbo compressor. The jets are mounted on flexible fittings so that they are not damages by kerbs or other obstructions. In dry weather they are switched off, either manually, or by moisture monitors, to save power, while a further interlock inhibits their operation at low speeds.

Description

BESCHREIBUNG der ANTI- AQUAPLANING-ANLAGE ANWENDUNGSGEBIET Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, um die Gefahren von AQUAPLANING (aufschwimmen von Fahrzeugreifen auf Wasserflächen- und Pfützen ) zu beseitigen. DESCRIPTION OF THE ANTI-AQUAPLANING SYSTEM FIELD OF APPLICATION The invention concerns a device to avoid the dangers of AQUAPLANING (floating of vehicle tires on bodies of water and puddles).

ZWECK Beseitigung von Gefahrenmomenten, wo die Reifen von KFZ auf Wasserflächen aufschwimmen und infolge des fehlenden Fahrbahnkontaktes die Lenkfähigkeit aufheben.PURPOSE Elimination of dangerous moments where the tires of motor vehicles on Floating surfaces of water and, due to the lack of road contact, steering ability lift.

STAND DER TECHNIK Es ist bekannt, zwecks besserer Durchdringung dieser Wasserflächen die Fahrzeugreifen mit speziellen Profilierungen zu versehen, die die Wassermengen seitlich ableiten.BACKGROUND ART It is known for the purpose of better penetration of these Water surfaces to provide the vehicle tires with special profiles that drain off the water to the side.

KRITIK AM STAND DER TECHNIK Mit der alleinigen Verbesserung der Fahrzeugreifen ist eine gänzliche Problemlösung jedoch nicht zu erreichen.REVIEW OF THE PRIOR ART With the sole improvement of the vehicle tires however, a complete solution to the problem cannot be achieved.

Bei den üblicherweise gefahrenen Geschwindigkeiten treffen die Reifen unvermittelt und vehement auf die Wasserfläche, die bei dieser Geschwindigkeit nicht so rasch ausweichen kann.The tires hit at the speeds usually driven suddenly and vehemently on the surface of the water, not at this speed can evade so quickly.

BESCHREIBUNG der ANTI- AUAPLANING-ANLAGE Fortsetzung KRITIK AM STAND DER TECHNIK Besonders Niederquerschnittsreifen mit nicht mehr voller Profiltiefe, sind im besonderen Masse gefährdet.DESCRIPTION of the ANTI-AUAPLANING SYSTEM continued CRITICAL STANDARD TECHNOLOGY Particularly low profile tires with no longer full tread depth, are particularly endangered.

AUFGABE Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Problemlösung in der Beseitigung der Wasserpfützen anzubieten; sodass die bekannten Risiken des AQUAPLANING erst gar nicht mehr auftreten.OBJECT The invention is based on the object of solving the problem to offer in the elimination of puddles; so that the known risks of AQUAPLANING no longer occur at all.

LÖSUNG Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungssassig dadurch gelöst, dass unmittelbar jeweils vor den beiden Vorderreifen Luftdüsen 0 senkrecht im Winkel von ca. 75 nach unten auf die Fahrbahn gerichtet werden.SOLUTION This object is achieved according to the invention in that directly in front of the two front tires, air nozzles 0 vertically at an angle of approx. 75 after be directed at the bottom of the road.

Die Anordnung dieser Luftdüsen kann am Vorderteil des Radkastenausschnitts oder auf Stosstangenhöhe etc. erfolgen.The arrangement of these air nozzles can be on the front part of the wheel arch cutout or at bumper height etc.

Mittels Kompressor etc. etc., wird durch diese Düsen ein Hochdruck-Luftstrahl gepresst, der die evtl. Wasserflächen-und Pfützen -noch bevor sie vom Reifen erreicht werdenwegspritzt.By means of a compressor etc. etc., a high pressure air jet is generated through these nozzles pressed, which possibly reaches the surface of water and puddles before they are reached by the tire are splashed away.

Selbst wenn sich grössere Wasserflächen gebildet haben, die nicht gänzlich von der Druckluft weggeblasen werden können, sorgt die Druckluft doch dafür, dass- sich -die Höhe der Wasseraufstandsfläche verringert.Even if larger areas of water have formed, they don't can be completely blown away by the compressed air, the compressed air ensures that that the height of the water contact area is reduced.

BESCHREIBUNG der ANTI- AUAPLANING-ANLAGE Fortsetzung LÖSUNG Der nachfolgende Reifen kann dadurch die Wasserfläche besser durchdringen, ohne dass der Fahrbahnkontakt der Reifen aufgehoben wird.DESCRIPTION of the ANTI-AUAPLANING SYSTEM continued SOLUTION The following As a result, tires can penetrate the water surface better without making contact with the road the tire is lifted.

WEITERE AUSGESTALTUNG Für die Erzeugung der nötigen Druckluft, kann wahlweise ein Elektrokompressor, ein vom Motor angetriebener Kompressor oder ein von den Auspuffgasen angetriebener Turbolader herangezogen werden.FURTHER DESIGN For generating the necessary compressed air, can optionally an electric compressor, a compressor driven by the engine or a turbochargers driven by the exhaust gases are used.

Die auf diese Modalität gewinnbare Druckluft, ist zuschaltbar zu erzeugen, um bei trockenem Wetter einen evtl. geringfügigen Leistungsverlust der Motorstärke zu vermeiden.The compressed air that can be obtained in this modality can be switched on and off, in order to avoid a slight loss of engine power in dry weather to avoid.

Damit zusammenhängend brauchte die Anlage erst ab Geschwindigkeiten von ca. 70 km/h tätig zu werden, da unterhalb dieser Geschwindigkeiten ein aufschwimmen kaum erfolgt.In connection with this, the system only needed speeds upwards of approx. 70 km / h, as below these speeds a swim up hardly happened.

Die Einschaltung kann manuell oder durch einen speziellen Feuchtigkeitsfühler selbstätig erfolgen.It can be switched on manually or by means of a special humidity sensor take place automatically.

Um die Anlage auch bei Kurvenfahrten effektiv wirken zu lassen, könnten die Düsen synchron zu der Drehbewegung der Vorderräder schwenkbar angebracht sein.In order to make the system work effectively even when cornering, could the nozzles can be pivotably mounted in synchronism with the rotation of the front wheels.

Um Beschädigungen (Verbiegen, Abbrechen etc.) beim überfahren von Hindernissen (Bordsteinkanten etc.) zu vermeiden, ist die aus der Karosserie herausragende Düse federnd beweglich; kehrt jedoch immer wieder in die ihr zubestimmte Anordnung zurück.To avoid damage (bending, breaking, etc.) when driving over Avoiding obstacles (curbs, etc.) is the one that protrudes from the body Nozzle resiliently movable; However, it always returns to the order it was intended for return.

BESCHREIBUNG der ANTI- AQUAPLANING-ANLAGE ERZIELBARE VORTEILE Beseitigung der gefürchteten und gefährlichen Aquaplaning-Erscheinung und der damit im Z,sammenhang stehenden Unfall-Gefahr.DESCRIPTION OF THE ANTI-AQUAPLANING SYSTEM ACHIEVABLE BENEFITS Elimination the dreaded and dangerous aquaplaning phenomenon and the related Z. standing accident risk.

Allgemeine Sicherstellung des Fahrverhaltens bei Regenwetter.General assurance of driving behavior in rainy weather.
