Abstract

The invention relates to a periscope for improving visibility for drivers, a video camera being mounted on a movable mounting so as to be able to extend out of the interior of the vehicle and the video picture being displayed on a monitor so as to be visible from the driver's seat.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Periskop der im Oberbe­ griff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art. Die Sichtbedingun­ gen des Führers eines Kraftfahrzeuges stellen ein ganz we­ sentliches Kriterium der Fahrsicherheit dar.The invention relates to a periscope in the upper part handle of claim 1 specified type. The visual conditions against the driver of a motor vehicle pose quite a essential criterion of driving safety.

Bisher wurden Bestrebungen, die Sichtbedingungen zu ver­ bessern, vor allem auf die Optimierung der Verglasung und der Beleuchtung gerichtet. Sogenannte "tote Winkel", der von Sichtbehinderungen infolge das Dach tragenden Elementen oder durch Mitfahrer hervorgerufen wird, konnte damit jedoch nicht vermieden werden. Dazu kommt, daß aus der Position des Fahrers, bedingt durch die Form der Ka­ rosserie des Fahrzeugs, bestimmte Bereiche in der Umgebung des Kraftfahrzeugs auch dann nicht einsehbar wären, wenn der Winkel der Rundumsicht 360° betrüge. Auch Seitenspie­ gel können insbesondere bei sehr großen Fahrzeugen, wie Lastkraftwagen und Bussen, dieses Problem nur unzureichend lösen.So far efforts have been made to change the visual conditions improve, especially on the optimization of the glazing and the lighting. So-called "blind spots", those who are obstructing the roof due to visual impairments Elements or caused by passengers however, this cannot be avoided. On top of that comes from the position of the driver, due to the shape of the Ka body of the vehicle, certain areas in the area of the motor vehicle would not be visible even if the angle of the all-round view would be 360 °. Even side games Gel can be especially in very large vehicles, such as Trucks and buses, this problem is insufficient to solve.

Außerdem sind die außen angebrachten Seitenspiegel bei un­ günstigen Witterungsbedingungen, beispielsweise bei Regen oder Schneefall, nahezu unbrauchbar. Im Innenraum von Per­ sonenkraftwagen angebrachte Rückspiegel sind auch nur so lange vorteilhaft benutzbar, wie das Heckfenster des Fahr­ zeugs frei von Verunreinigungen ist. Im übrigen besitzen alle Spiegel nur ein sehr kleines und kaum variierbares Sehfeld.In addition, the outside side mirrors are at un favorable weather conditions, for example when it rains or snowfall, almost unusable. In the interior of Per Rear-view mirrors attached to motor vehicles are just that long usable as the rear window of the driver is free of contaminants. Otherwise own all mirrors only a very small and hardly variable Field of view.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein universell einsetzbares Beobachtungssystem für Fahrzeugführer zu fin­ den, das jederzeit einen umfassenden Überblick über Ver­ kehrsverhältnisse gestattet und insbesondere auch "tote Winkel" ausspart.The invention has for its object a universal applicable observation system for drivers to fin the one that provides a comprehensive overview of Ver traffic conditions allowed and especially "dead Recesses.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is carried out with the characteristic features of the Claim 1 solved.

Dabei wird insbesondere eine Videokamera mittels einer speziellen Halterung an der Peripherie des Fahrzeugs, vor­ zugsweise auf dem Dach, montiert und daß der Fahrzeugfüh­ rer das Videobild über einen Monitor empfangen kann. Die Halterung gestattet neben dem Ein- und Ausfahren der Kame­ ra auch die Bewegung der Kamera in mehreren Freiheitsgra­ den. Insbesondere motorisch aussteuerbare Nick- und Drebe­ wegungen der Kamera sind günstig realisierbar. Darüber hinaus kann bei größeren Fahrzeugen und abhängig vom Aus­ fahrbereich der Halterung sowie vom Anwendungszweck der Beobachtungseinrichtung auch eine zusätzliche Schwenkmög­ lichkeit der gesamten Halterung vorteilhaft sein. Diese gestattet es, über das Dach des Fahrzeugs jeden "toten Winkelbereich" direkt einzusehen. Auch das Einparken wird damit erheblich erleichtert.In particular, a video camera using a special bracket on the periphery of the vehicle preferably mounted on the roof and that the vehicle guide rer can receive the video image on a monitor. The Bracket allows the cam to be moved in and out ra also the movement of the camera in several degrees of freedom the. In particular, motorized pitch and turn movements of the camera can be realized cheaply. About that In addition, with larger vehicles and depending on the off range of the bracket and the application of the Observation device also an additional swivel the entire bracket be advantageous. These allows everyone to "kill" over the roof of the vehicle Angle range "can be viewed directly. Parking is also possible so much easier.

Insbesondere vorteilhaft ist, daß damit einerseits eine höhere Sichtposition eingenommen werden kann, als der Fah­ rer von seinem Sitz aus hat und andererseits aus dieser erhöhten Position durch Neigung der Kamera nicht nur eine größere Entfernung, sondern auch der Nahbereich an den Seiten des Fahrzeugs lückenlos eingesehen werden kann, so daß ein Rangieren ohne Blechberührung auf engstem Raum ermöglicht ist. Da dieses vollständige Sichtvermögen nicht unter allen Betriebsbedingungen notwendig ist, ist es be­ sonders günstig, wenn, gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausfüh­ rungsform, die Kamera in eine Mulde des Karosseriedachs einziehbar ist und die die Deckfläche der Kamera die Mulde dichtend und eben abdeckt. Somit verschlechtert sich bei schneller Fahrt, bei der in der Regel die Sicht aus der Fahrerposition ausreichend ist, der Luftwiderstandsbeiwert des Fahrzeugs nicht.It is particularly advantageous that on the one hand higher viewing position can be taken than the Fah rer from his seat and on the other hand from this elevated position by tilting the camera not just one greater distance, but also the close range to the Sides of the vehicle can be viewed without gaps, so  that maneuvering without contacting sheet metal in a confined space is possible. Because this complete vision is not is necessary under all operating conditions, it is particularly favorable if, according to an advantageous embodiment shape, the camera in a recess in the body roof is retractable and the top surface of the camera the trough sealing and covering. Thus worsens with faster ride, which is usually the view from the Driver position is sufficient, the drag coefficient of the vehicle.

Als vorteilhaft erweist sich des weiteren die Anbringung der Halterung auf dem Dachbereich hinter dem Führersitz in Ausrichtung auf einer Achse in Fahrtrichtung hierzu. Bei Ausrichtung der Kamera in Fahrtrichtung wird so ein pa­ rallaktischer Effekt in Querrichtung vermieden und die Fahrersicht wird auf natürliche Art und Weise unterstützt.The attachment also proves to be advantageous the bracket on the roof area behind the driver’s seat in Alignment on an axis in the direction of travel. At Orientation of the camera in the direction of travel is a few rallactic effect avoided in the transverse direction and the Driver's view is supported in a natural way.

Um die Kamera und die Halterung im eingezogenen Zustand möglichst platzsparend im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs unterzu­ bringen, befindet sich entsprechend einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung unmittelbar unter dem Dach des Fahrzeugs eine Mulde, in der die Halterung und die Kamera bei Nichtbenutzung Platz finden. Besonders günstig für ei­ ne platzsparende Verwahrung des Periskops ist dabei eine teleskopartige Bauform der Halterung, so daß diese sich zu einem kompakten Teil zusammenschieben läßt. Zusätzlich kann die Halterung durch ein Gelenk direkt unterhalb der Kameramontierung abgewinkelt werden. Dadurch läßt sie sich flach an die Innenfläche des Daches anlegen. To the camera and the holder in the retracted state as space-saving as possible in the interior of the vehicle bring, is according to an advantageous Development of the invention directly under the roof of the Vehicle has a trough in which the bracket and the camera find space when not in use. Particularly cheap for egg ne space-saving storage of the periscope is one telescopic design of the bracket, so that this too can be pushed together into a compact part. In addition can be held by a joint directly below the bracket Camera mount can be angled. This makes it possible lay flat against the inner surface of the roof.  

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung er­ gibt sich durch die Ausstattung des Rückteiles der Video­ kamera mit mindestens einer Bremsleuchte, die mit dem Bremsleuchtensystem des Fahrzeugs gekoppelt ist. zusätzli­ che Bremsleuchten, beispielsweise an der Heckscheibe von Personenkraftwagen, erübrigen sich dadurch. Statt der Bremsleuchte kann aber auch jede andere die Fahrsicherheit fördernde Leuchte an der Videokamera oder/und an der Hal­ terung angebracht werden. Insbesondere läßt sich ein Scheinwerfer zur Ausleuchtung des von der Videokamera auf­ genommenen Raumbereiches hinzufügen. Zweckmäßigerweise ist dieser Scheinwerfer direkt an der Videokamera befestigt und folgt damit jeder Bewegung der Kamera.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention he gives itself through the equipment of the back of the video camera with at least one brake light that works with the Brake light system of the vehicle is coupled. additional che brake lights, for example on the rear window of Passenger cars are unnecessary. Instead of the Brake light can also do any other driving safety Promotional light on the video camera and / or on the hal be attached. In particular, one can Headlights to illuminate the from the video camera add taken space. It is expedient this headlight attached directly to the video camera and follows every movement of the camera.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von bevorzugten Aus­ führungsvarianten näher erläutert:The invention based on preferred from guidance variants explained in more detail:

Bei der in Fig. 1 wiedergebenen Anordnung ist eine in ausgefahrenem Zustand über das Fahrzeugdach hinausragende Videokamera 1 mittels motorisch gesteuerter um eine verti­ kale und eine horizontale Achse schwenkbarer Drehlagerun­ gen 2 und 3 an einer Halterung 4 befestigt. Die aus zwei teleskopartig ausziehbaren, rohrförmigen Teilen 5 und 6 bestehende säulenartige Halterung 4 ist mittels eines Seilzuges 7 in unterschiedlichen Auszugsverlängerungen po­ sitionierbar. Der untere rohrförmige Teil 5 ist dabei ebenfalls in Führungen 5 a, die mit dem Fahrzeugdach 14 verbunden sind, vertikal verschieblich gelagert.In the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, a video camera 1 projecting beyond the vehicle roof in the extended state is fastened to a holder 4 by means of motor-controlled rotary bearings 2 and 3 pivotable about a vertical and a horizontal axis. The consisting of two telescopically extendable, tubular parts 5 and 6 columnar bracket 4 is po sitionable by means of a cable 7 in different extension extensions. The lower tubular part 5 is also vertically displaceably mounted in guides 5 a , which are connected to the vehicle roof 14 .

Ein Motor 8 bewirkt dabei über eine Schnecke 9 und ein Schneckenrad 10 mit einer Seiltrommel 10 a ein Verkürzen oder Verlängern des Seilzuges 7. Ein Ende 7 a des Seilzugs ist fest und die Seiltrommel 10 a drehbar mit dem Fahrzeug­ dach verbunden. Über eine Umlenkung des Seils von der Seiltrommels aus um eine Umlenkrolle 10 b am unteren Ende des äußeren Teils 5 in Richtung nach oben, um eine weitere Umlenkrolle 10 c am oberen Ende des Teils 5 in dieses hin­ ein zu zwei Umlenkrollen 10 d und 10 e am unteren Ende des Teils 6 um dieses herum zu weiteren Umlenkrolle 10 f und 10 g, die in ihrer Funktion den Umlenkrollen 10 c und 10 d entsprechen, zu dem fest mit der Karosserie verbundenen Endpunkt 7 a.A motor 8 causes a shortening or lengthening of the cable 7 via a worm 9 and a worm wheel 10 with a cable drum 10 a . One end 7 a of the cable pull is fixed and the cable drum 10 a is rotatably connected to the vehicle roof. About a deflection of the rope from the rope drum around a deflection roller 10 b at the lower end of the outer part 5 in an upward direction, around a further deflection roller 10 c at the upper end of the part 5 into one of two deflection rollers 10 d and 10 e at the lower end of the part 6 around this to further deflecting rollers 10 f and 10 g , which correspond in their function to the deflecting rollers 10 c and 10 d , to the end point 7 a firmly connected to the body.

Durch Verkürzen des Seils 7 werden der untere und der obe­ re Teil 5 bzw. 6 der Halterung nach oben geschoben und da­ bei teleskopartig ausgefahren. Der untere Teil Halterung 5 stützt sich gegen einen mit dem Karosseriedach fest ver­ bundenen Anschlag 11 ab.By shortening the rope 7 , the lower and the upper part 5 and 6 of the bracket are pushed upwards and extended telescopically. The lower part bracket 5 is supported against a fixed to the body roof ver connected stop 11 .

Beim Verlängern des Seiles gleitet die Halterung 4 wie ei­ ne teleskopartig in die Mulde 12. Diese ist zum Fahrzeu­ ginneren hin mit einem Faltenbalg 13 versehen, welcher sich nur beim Einfahren der Halterung 4 ausdehnt. Zum Ein­ fahren genügt das Eigengewicht des Periskops mit Kamera. Der Anschlag für den Einziehvorgang wird von der Videoka­ mera und dem Fahrzeugdach 14 gebildet. Damit im eingezoge­ nen Zustand ein glatter und regendichter Abschluß mit dem Fahrzeugdach erreicht wird, ist die Oberseite der Videoka­ mera 1 entsprechend der Aussparung im Fahrzeugdach gestal­ tet. Insbesondere bildet eine Abdeckung 27 der Kamere ei­ nen die Mulde glatt und dichtend abschließenden Deckel, so daß bei eingefahrener Kamera die aerodynamische Form der Karosserie nicht beeinträchtigt ist.When the cable is extended, the holder 4 slides like a telescope into the trough 12 . This is ginneren towards the vehicle with a bellows 13 which extends only when the holder 4 is retracted. The intrinsic weight of the periscope with camera is sufficient to retract it. The stop for the pull-in process is formed by the video camera and the vehicle roof 14 . So that a smooth and rainproof closure with the vehicle roof is achieved in the drawn-in state, the top of the Videoka mera 1 is designed according to the recess in the vehicle roof. In particular, a cover 27 of the camera forms the trough smooth and sealing cover, so that the aerodynamic shape of the body is not impaired when the camera is retracted.

Im ausgefahrenen Zustand bildet das Gehäuse der Kamere 1 einen Witterungsschutz durch wobei lediglich das Objektiv 15, gegebenenfalls mit einer Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 16, herausragt. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung 16 befindet sich an der Frontseite des Gehäuses 1 benachbart zum Objektiv und ist somit auch bei allen Schwenk- und Hubbewegungen auf das Objekt gerichtet. Die Beleuchtung 16 wird dabei entsprechend einem Suchscheinwerfer elektrisch angeschlos­ sen und betätigt. Eine vorzugsweise aus Kunststoffmaterial bestehende elastische, in Längsrichtung der säulenartigen Halterung Fahrzeugs schlauchartig dehnbare Hülle, in Form einer Manschette 26 ist mit ihrem einem Ende mit dem Ge­ häuse der Kamera und mit ihrem anderen Ende fest mit dem Dach 14 des Fahrzeugs verbunden.In the extended state, the housing of the camera 1 forms weather protection, with only the lens 15 , possibly with an illumination device 16 , protruding. The lighting device 16 is located on the front side of the housing 1 adjacent to the lens and is therefore also directed at the object during all swiveling and lifting movements. The lighting 16 is electrically connected and operated according to a searchlight. A preferably made of plastic material elastic, in the longitudinal direction of the column-like bracket vehicle hose-like stretchable shell, in the form of a sleeve 26 is at one end with the Ge housing of the camera and at its other end firmly connected to the roof 14 of the vehicle.

Eine Schwenkbewegung der Kamera 1 um eine vertikale Achse wird über einen Motor 17, eine Schnecke 18 und ein Schnec­ kenrad 19 erzeugt. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit sind in der schematischen Darstellung gemäß Fig. 2 der mit dem Teil 6 fest verbundene Motor 17 mit der Schnecke 18 um 90° gedreht dargestellt. Die beiden Teile 5 und 6 der Halte­ rung selbst sind bei ihrer vertikalen Verschiebebewegung durch nicht dargestellte Führungsmittel gegen Verdrehung in bezug auf das Fahrzeug gesichert.A pivoting movement of the camera 1 about a vertical axis is generated via a motor 17 , a worm 18 and a worm gear 19 . For the sake of clarity, the schematic representation according to FIG. 2 shows the motor 17 firmly connected to the part 6 with the worm 18 rotated through 90 °. The two parts 5 and 6 of the holding tion itself are secured against rotation with respect to the vehicle in their vertical displacement movement by guide means, not shown.

Entsprechend wird eine Neigung der Kamera um eine horizon­ tale Achse über einen Motor 20, eine Schnecke 21 und ein Schneckenrad 22 erreicht, wobei die Neigung nur einen Win­ kel von bis zu 90° umfaßt, so daß das Schneckenrad 22 als Schneckenradsegment ausgeführt sein kann.Accordingly, an inclination of the camera about a horizon tal axis via a motor 20 , a worm 21 and a worm wheel 22 is achieved, the inclination only comprising a win angle of up to 90 °, so that the worm wheel 22 can be designed as a worm gear segment.

In Fig. 1 sind zusätzlich zwei Varianten für die Brems­ leuchtenmontage dargestellt. Eine Leuchte 23 ist an der dem Objektiv 14 der Kamera abgewandten Seite des Gehäuses angebracht, während die Leuchte 24 am unteren Teil der Halterung vorgesehen ist. Durch die Montage an der Halte­ rung 4 wird erreicht, daß die Strahlungsrichtung der Leuchte 24 festgelegt ist, d.h., unabhängig von der Dreh­ oder Nickstellung der Kamera. Trotzdem ist die Sichtbar­ keit der Leuchte im Falle Das Objektiv 15 der Videokamera ist zum Schutz gegen Wit­ terungseinflüsse, speziell gegen Regen und Schneefall, an der Oberseite mit einem Blechabgedeckung 25 in Form einer Blende versehen.In Fig. 1 two variants for the brake light assembly are shown in addition. A lamp 23 is attached to the side of the housing facing away from the lens 14 of the camera, while the lamp 24 is provided on the lower part of the holder. By mounting on the holding tion 4 it is achieved that the radiation direction of the lamp 24 is fixed, that is, regardless of the rotation or pitch position of the camera. Nevertheless, the visibility of the light in the case The lens 15 of the video camera is provided with a sheet metal cover 25 in the form of an aperture to protect against weather influences, especially against rain and snowfall.

In Fig. 3 ist die vorteilhafte Montage der Videokamera 1, nämlich entgegengesetzt zur Fahrtrichtung direkt hinter dem Fahrersitz, in der Draufsicht wiedergegeben. Die in Fahrtrichtung ausgerichtete Kamera ist also genau in Blickrichtung des Fahrers eingestellt und ermöglicht so eine wesentliche Verbesserung der Sichtbedingungen des Kraftfahrers. Hier ist - wie auch in Fig. 1 - die Posi­ tion eines Bildschirms 28 im Sichtbereich des Fahrers in­ nerhalb des oder auf dem Armaturenbrett erkennbar.In Fig. 3, the advantageous mounting of the video camera 1 , namely opposite to the direction of travel directly behind the driver's seat, is shown in plan view. The camera, which is oriented in the direction of travel, is therefore set exactly in the driver's line of sight and thus enables a significant improvement in the driver's visibility conditions. Here, as in FIG. 1, the position of a screen 28 can be seen in the driver's field of vision within or on the dashboard.

Die Schaltmittel für die Betätigung des erfindungsgemäßen Periskops sind in Form von Schaltern (Heben/Senken; Neigen auf/ab und Schwenken links/rechts) in Reichweite des Fah­ rers vorgesehen. Vorteilhaft ist weiterhin eine Kupplung der Schwenkbewegung der Kamera an den Radeinschlag sowie an die Fahrtrichtung (vorwärts/rückwärts) vorgesehen, so daß die Blickrichtung der Kamera der Fahrtrichtung ent­ spricht. Bei starkem Radeinschlag wird Kamera außerdem nach unten geneigt, so daß auch beim Einparken gute Sicht­ bedingungen herrschen. (Bei Rückwärtsfahrt ist die Schwen­ krichtung der Kamera in Abhängigkeit vom Einschlag der Vorderräder umgekehrt im Vergleich zur Vorwärtsfahrt.The switching means for the actuation of the invention Periscopes are in the form of switches (raise / lower; tilt up / down and swiveling left / right) within range of the vehicle rers provided. A clutch is also advantageous the pivoting movement of the camera to the wheel lock as well to the direction of travel (forward / backward), see above that the line of sight of the camera ent the direction of travel speaks. When the wheel is turned hard, the camera also turns inclined downwards so that you can see well when parking conditions prevail. (When reversing is the turn k direction of the camera depending on the impact of the Front wheels reversed compared to driving forwards.
