Abstract

The invention results in substantial improvement of the current state of rearviewing in motor vehicles. The conventional fixed adjustment of rearview mirrors is to be replaced by a variable mirror fixing system. As a result of this, the mirror is automatically pivoted in accordance with the steering lock. Consequently, the rearview, eg. of bends which have been negotiated, is better adapted to the section of road situated behind the vehicle. Example for countries with right-hand-drive traffic: it is primarily the right outside mirror which, by its pivotability, permits or improves recognition of a vehicle travelling on the right-hand side of the road behind the vehicle travelling on the left. This makes traffic safer on multi-lane bends in cities. Pivoting of the mirror may be designed to be either rapid or delayed, depending on the travelling speed, and the speed of the pivoting movement itself may be optimised according to the wishes of the driver. The installation of a motor-driven adjusting element in the mirror casing and sensing of an electrical signal analogous to the steering lock are necessary for implementation of the invention.

Description

Beschreibungdescription

Vom Lenkungseinschlag automatisch beeinflußter KFZ-Rückblickspiegel.Vehicle rearview mirror automatically influenced by the steering angle.

Die heute übliche feste Einstellung des Rückblickspiegels dient im Idealfall dazu, das Geschehen auf dem Straßenabschnitt geradeaus hinter dem KFZ zu beobachten. Auch in Kurven bleibt die Rückblickmöglichkeit exakt in Richtung der Fahrzeug-Längsachse.The fixed setting of the rearview mirror that is customary today is used in the Ideally, what is happening on the road section straight ahead behind the vehicle to observe. Even when cornering, the possibility of looking back remains exactly in the direction the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.

Im Blick nach vorne folgt das Auge automatisch und unbewußt einer kurvigen Straße, es ist nicht durch den Blickwinkel eines Spiegels eingeschränkt. Diese Möglichkeit beim Blick nach hinten existiert bei fest eingestelltem Rückblickspiegel nicht. Die optische Geometrie Auge -Spiegel - Objekt ist starr; durch Kopfschwenkung kann sie bei dicht am Auge liegendem Spiegel korrigiert werden, wenn die hinter dem Fahrer liegende kurvige Straße am Spiegelrand endet.When looking ahead, the eye automatically and unconsciously follows one winding road, it is not restricted by the angle of a mirror. This possibility of looking backwards exists with a fixed rearview mirror not. The optical geometry of the eye-mirror-object is rigid; by tilting the head it can be corrected with the mirror close to the eye if the behind The curvy road lying to the driver ends at the edge of the mirror.

Am gravierendsten wird das Problem an dem der Fahrerseite gegenüberliegenden Außenspiegel deutlich. Durch die rel.The problem becomes most serious on the one opposite the driver's side Exterior mirrors clearly. Through the rel.

große Entfernung Auge - Spiegel kann das Bild bei Kopfschwenkung nur in geringem, nicht ausreichendem Maß verbreitert werden.large distance eye - mirror can only see the image when tilting the head be widened to a small, insufficient extent.

Mittels eines kleinen elektromotorischen Antriebs (Stellmagnet, Elektromotor...), der im Spiegelgehäuse unterzubringen ist, wird der Spiegel um seine senkrechte Achse verschwenkt. Das hierfür notwendige Stell-Signal wird aus der Lenkung abgegriffen, z.B. mittels elektr. Wegaufnehmer an der Zahnstange. Damit wird jeder Lenkungsstellung ein gewisser Verschwenkwinkel des Spiegels zugeordnet.By means of a small electric motor drive (solenoid, electric motor ...), which is to be accommodated in the mirror housing, the mirror becomes around its vertical axis pivoted. The control signal required for this is tapped from the steering, e.g. by means of electr. Displacement transducer on the rack. So that every steering position assigned a certain pivot angle of the mirror.

Dieses analoge Nachstell-Prinzip kann durch die momentangefahrene Geschwindigkeit noch eine zeitliche Beschleunigung oder Verzögerung erhalten, damit der Blick nach hinten beim Beginn oder Ende eines Lenkungseinschlags immer optimal bleibt.This analogue readjustment principle can be implemented by the current Speed still get a temporal acceleration or deceleration so the view to the rear at the beginning or end of a steering angle is always optimal remain.

In einfacherer Ausführung kann die Spiegelverschwenkung auch nur an Rasterstellungen orientiert sein. Die punktuelle Spiegelverschwenkung, z.B. Lenkung links - Spiegel links, ist technisch einfacher zu lösen; an das optische "Klick" kann sich der Fahrer gewöhnen.In a simpler design, the mirror pivoting can also only be Be oriented grid positions. The selective mirror pivoting, e.g. steering left - mirror on the left, is technically easier to solve; to the optical "click" the driver can get used to it.

Die Verschwenkgeschwindigeit selbst kann von 0 bis Max.The swivel speed itself can be from 0 to max.

an die individuellen Fahrerwünsche anpaßbar gestaltet werden.be designed to be adaptable to the individual driver's wishes.
