Straßenfahrzeug-Warneinrichtung über Airbag-AuslöserRoad vehicle warning device via airbag trigger

BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Warneinrichtung für Straßenfahrzeuge, die durch das Signal des Airbag-Auslösers aktiviert wird.The subject of the invention is a warning device for road vehicles which is activated by the signal of the airbag trigger.

Die überwältigende Mehrheit der Straßenfahrzeüge hat bereits einen oder mehrere Airbags. Bei einem Unfall wird/werden dieser/diese Airbag/s zum Schutz vor und zur Verringerung von Verletzungen ausgelöst.The overwhelming majority of road vehicles already have one or more airbags. In the event of an accident, this airbag(s) will be deployed to protect against and reduce injuries.

Trotz der schützenden Wirkung des/der Airbags kommt es häufig vor, daß die Fahrzeuginsassen nach dem Unfall und dem Auslösen des Airbags unter Schock stehen und/oder verletzt und/oder eingeklemmt sind.Despite the protective effect of the airbag(s), it often happens that the vehicle occupants are in shock and/or injured and/or trapped after the accident and the airbag is deployed.

Sie können in diesen Fällen weder die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer warnen noch auf sich selbst aufmerksam machen, um Hilfe zu bekommen.In these cases, you can neither warn other road users nor draw attention to yourself in order to get help.

Die Gefahr ist also vorhanden, daß andere Verkehrsteilnehmer mangels Warnung in den Unfall verwickelt werden, weil sie nicht rechtzeitig und deutlich auf die Gefahr hingewiesen werden.There is therefore a risk that other road users will be involved in the accident due to a lack of warning because they are not made aware of the danger in a timely and clear manner.

Den Insassen des verunglückten Fahrzeuges selbst kann häufig auch deshalb nicht geholfen werden, weil der Aufinerksamkeitswert des verunglückten Fahrzeuges nicht hoch genug ist.The occupants of the crashed vehicle themselves often cannot be helped because the accident vehicle’s visibility is not high enough.

Die erfindungsgemäße Straßenfahrzeug-Warneinrichtung macht es sich zunutze, daß bei einem Unfall ein Impuls ( 0) den Airbag-Auslöser ( 1 ) in Gang setzt ( BILD 1). Hierdurch wird der Airbag gezündet.The road vehicle warning device according to the invention makes use of the fact that in the event of an accident, an impulse ( 0 ) sets the airbag trigger ( 1 ) in motion ( FIGURE 1). This ignites the airbag.

Gleichzeitig läßt sich mit dem Aktivieren des Airbag-Auslösers (1) auch die Warnblinkanlage (2) automatisch in Betrieb setzen.At the same time, activating the airbag trigger (1) also automatically activates the hazard warning lights (2).

Hierdurch werden auch ohne Zutun der Insassen des verunfallten Fahrzeuges die übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer gewarnt bzw. wird deren Aufmerksamkeit erhöht, was insbesondere bei Verletzten im Unfallauto lebensrettend sein kann.This means that other road users are warned or their attention is increased even without the occupants of the vehicle involved in the accident having to do anything, which can be life-saving, especially for those injured in the vehicle involved in the accident.

Um einen noch höheren Aufmerksamkeitswert zu erreichen ist es darüberhinaus möglich und sinnvoll zusätzlich zur Warnblinkanlage ( 2) andere Fahrzeugleuchteneinheiten wie z.B. die Bremsleuchten (2A) und/oder die Scheinwerfer ( Fern- und/oder Abblendlicht ) ( 2 B ) und/oder die Nebelschlußleuchte(n) (2C) durch das Signal des Airbag-Auslösers (1 ) einzuschalten ( BILD 2 ).In order to achieve an even higher level of attention, it is also possible and sensible to switch on other vehicle lighting units in addition to the hazard warning lights ( 2 ), such as the brake lights ( 2A ) and/or the headlights (high and/or low beam) ( 2 B ) and/or the rear fog light(s) ( 2C ) using the signal from the airbag trigger ( 1 ) ( FIGURE 2 ).

Straßenfahrzeug-Warneinrichtung über Airbag-AuslöserRoad vehicle warning device via airbag trigger

Hierbei ist es jedoch notwendig zwischen Airbag-Auslöser ( 1) und diese Fahrzeugleuchteneinheiten (2), (2A), (2B) usw. einen oder mehrere Intervallschalter ( 3 ) einzubauen, um das Dauersignal für diese Fahrzeugleuchteneinheiten im Notfall in ein getaktetes - und damit mit ungleich höherem Aufmerksamkeitswert versehenes - Blinklicht zu verändern.However, it is necessary to install one or more interval switches (3) between the airbag trigger (1) and these vehicle light units (2), (2A), (2B) etc., in order to change the continuous signal for these vehicle light units in an emergency into a timed flashing light - and therefore with a much higher attention value.

Um nicht automatisch zusätzlich die Fahrzeugleuchteneinheiten (2), (2A), (2B) usw. zu aktivieren, kann es sinnvoll sein, zunächst nur im Fahrzeuginnenraum eine Warnlampe (4A) ggf. in Kombination mit einem akustischen Signalgeber (4B) durch das Signal des Airbag-Auslösers ( 1) einzuschalten und erst nach einer vorgegebenen Zeit nach dem Auslösen des Airbags über ein Zeitschaltglied ( 5 ) die Fahrzeugleuchteneinheiten ( 2), (2 A), ( 2 B ) usw. in Gang zu setzen (BILD 3 ).In order not to automatically activate the vehicle lighting units (2), (2A), (2B), etc., it may be advisable to initially switch on a warning lamp (4A) in the vehicle interior, possibly in combination with an acoustic signal generator (4B), using the signal from the airbag trigger (1), and only to activate the vehicle lighting units (2), (2A), (2B), etc. after a specified time has elapsed after the airbag has been triggered, using a timer (5) (FIGURE 3).

Das Auslösen über das Zeitschaltglied (5 ) kann dabei durch einen Schalter (6) manuell innerhalb einer vorgegebenen Zeit unterbrochen werden.The triggering via the timer (5) can be interrupted manually by a switch (6) within a specified time.

Eine andere zusätzliche - ggf. lebensrettende - Maßnahme ist die automatische Aktivierung eines im Fahrzeug befindlichen und mit dessen Elektonik verbundenen Telefons ( 7 ), über das durch das Signal des Airbag-Auslösers ( 1 ) ein Notruf ( 8 ) nach Freigabe durch ein Zeitschaltglied ( 5 ) selbsttätig ausgesandt wird ( BILD 4 ).Another additional - potentially life-saving - measure is the automatic activation of a telephone ( 7 ) located in the vehicle and connected to its electronics, via which an emergency call ( 8 ) is automatically sent out by the signal from the airbag trigger ( 1 ) after being released by a timer ( 5 ) ( FIGURE 4 ).

Das Zeitschaltglied für das Telefon muß dabei nicht unbedingt dasselbe sein, das die Aktivierung der Fahrzeugleuchteneinheiten (2), (2A), (2B) usw. veranlaßt. Es kann z.B. eine deutlich längere Zeit bis zur Deaktivierung zur Verfugung stellen, weil die akute Gefährdung der übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer hierdurch nicht beeinflußt würde.The timer for the telephone does not necessarily have to be the same one that activates the vehicle lighting units (2), (2A), (2B), etc. It can, for example, provide a significantly longer time until deactivation because the acute danger to other road users would not be affected by this.
