Abstract

The unit described is intended for two objects moving relative to one another in the near distance (up to 100 m), esp motor vehicles. The first object has a light pulse radiator, a receiver and in series with it an evaluating unit for determining the distance of the second object by means of the transit time of a pulse transmitted by the first to the second, reflected back and received by the first. The evaluation unit is controlled by a microprocessor. The light source (3) radiates not only light pulses but also HF pulses which are are received by the same aerial (2) or another one (5) after reflection and which are subjected to amplification or delay before reaching the signal processor (11) with the light pulses. USE/ADVANTAGE - Distance to another vehicle or obstruction. Releasing alarm and/or safety equipment such as protective air cushion, braking, switching off engine, tightening seat belt.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Bestimmung von Abständen zwischen zwei Objekten im Nahbereich gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for determining distances between two objects in the close range according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist eine solche Einrichtung bereits bekannt aus der Deutschen Patent­ schrift 36 40 449 der Anmelderin. Auch die bekannte Einrichtung soll möglichst unabhängig von atmosphärischen Einflüssen arbeiten können und geeignet sein Nutzsignale von stark verrauschten Empfangssignalen zu ei­ ner genauen Entfernungsbestimmung heranzuziehen.Such a device is already known from the German patent document 36 40 449 of the applicant. The well-known facility should also can work as independently as possible from atmospheric influences and be suitable to egg from very noisy received signals exact distance determination.

Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung ist es, die gleiche oder noch größere Si­ cherheit bei der Abstandsbestimmung zwischen zwei Objekten, die sich re­ lativ zueinander bewegen insbesondere zwei Kraftfahrzeugen im Nahbereich zu erhöhen ohne die Kosten einer solchen Einrichtung wesentlich zu erhö­ hen oder gar zu verdoppeln.The object of the present invention is to use the same or even larger Si safety when determining the distance between two objects that are right relative to one another, in particular two motor vehicles move in the vicinity to increase without significantly increasing the cost of such a facility hen or even double.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst, wobei die Auswerte­ schaltung prozessorgesteuert sein kann, wie in der Deutschen Patent­ schrift 36 40 449 beschrieben, jedoch auch eine an sich bekannte Auswer­ telogik oder Plausibilitätslogik Anwendung finden kann.This object is achieved according to the invention by the in the characterizing part of the specified features solved, the evaluations circuit can be processor-controlled, as in the German patent Scripture 36 40 449 described, but also a known Auswer telogic or plausibility logic can be used.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, daß obwohl die Si­ cherheit der Abstandsbestimmung oder Entfernungsmessung in dem sensiblen Nahbereich (unter 100 m) entscheidend verbessert wird, sich die Einrich­ tung nicht entsprechend verteuert. Erreicht wird dies vor allem dadurch, daß mit den gleichen Einheiten das Senden und Empfangen sowohl von Lichtimpulsen als auch Hochfrequenzimpulsen erfolgen kann. Über einen gemeinsamen Kanal und Vergleich der gemessenen rückgestreuten Signalver­ läufe wird eine sichere Abstands- bzw. Entfernungsangabe möglich, auch im sensiblen Nahbereich, ohne die Kosten von z.B. zwei Sendern und zwei Empfängern und entsprechenden separaten Verarbeitungskanälen. The main advantage of the invention is that although the Si safety of distance determination or distance measurement in the sensitive Short range (under 100 m) is significantly improved, the facility not expensive accordingly. This is mainly achieved by that with the same units sending and receiving both Light pulses as well as high-frequency pulses can take place. About one common channel and comparison of the measured backscattered signal ver runs, a safe distance or distance specification is possible, too in the sensitive close range, without the costs of e.g. two transmitters and two Receivers and corresponding separate processing channels.  

Auf diese Weise ist es erfindungsgemäß möglich, eine Einrichtung zum Be­ stimmen von Abständen im Nahbereich zu schaffen, bei der wenn z.B. ein vorgegebener Abstand zwischen zwei Objekten, die sich relativ zueinander bewegen, z.B. zwischen zwei Fahrzeugen oder zwischen einem Fahrzeug und einem Hindernis, eine Warnanzeige erfolgt, sobald dieser Abstand unter­ schritten wird, oder/und eine Zündstufe ausgelöst wird, die ein Rückhal­ tesystem auslöst, z.B. ein Gaskissen aufbläst mit Hilfe eines bekannten Gasgenerators oder Rückhaltegurte mit Hilfe eines Gurtstrammers fest­ zieht. Auch andere Maßnahmen für den Kollisionsfall können ausgelöst werden, wie Motor-Abschaltung, Bremsbetätigung, Warnblinker, Warnleuch­ ten, Warntöne oder andere Warnsignale ausstoßen, Puffer und Stoßdämpfer aktualisieren (in Wirkstellung bringen).In this way it is possible according to the invention to provide a device for loading to create distances in the close range, at which if e.g. a given distance between two objects that are relative to each other move, e.g. between two vehicles or between one vehicle and an obstacle, a warning is given as soon as this distance is below is stepped, and / or an ignition stage is triggered, the back system, e.g. inflates a gas cushion using a known one Gas generator or restraint belts with the help of a belt tensioner pulls. Other measures in the event of a collision can also be triggered such as engine shutdown, brake actuation, hazard lights, warning lights emit warning tones or other warning signals, buffers and shock absorbers update (bring into active position).

AusführungsbeispielEmbodiment

Aus dem Pulsgeber (Halbwertsbreite ca. 1-50 ns) für die Laserdiode wird über eine bekannte geeignete Einrichtung (z.B. Strip-linetechnik) eine Hochfrequenzpulsleistung abgeleitet, z.B. aus dem Steuerstrom der Laser­ diode im Bereich von etwa 50 MHz bis etwa 60 GHz (aperiodisch) ausge­ koppelt und über eine Antenne abgestrahlt. Die vom zu detektierenden Gegenstand rückgestreuten Hochfrequenzpulssignale werden über die gleiche Antenne empfangen und direkt oder/und nach Verstärkung und/oder Verzögerung dem gleichen Signalprozessor (Dual-Gate, oder adaptive Sig­ nalverarbeitung) zur Auswertung zugeführt. Damit wird die Laufzeit des Hochfrequenzimpulses verglichen oder ermittelt und eine Abstandsmessung durchgeführt. In einer Auswerte- oder Plausibilitätslogik werden die ge­ wonnenen Abstandsmessungen auf dem optischen und hochfrequenten Kanal verglichen und eine sichere Entfernungsangabe oder Messung für eine festeingestellte Entfernung ermittelt.The pulse generator (half-value width approx. 1-50 ns) for the laser diode becomes via a known suitable device (e.g. strip-line technology) High frequency pulse power derived, e.g. from the control current of the lasers diode in the range from about 50 MHz to about 60 GHz (aperiodic) couples and radiated via an antenna. The one to be detected Object backscattered high frequency pulse signals are over the same antenna received and directly or / and after amplification and / or Delay the same signal processor (dual gate, or adaptive Sig processing) for evaluation. With this, the term of the High-frequency pulse compared or determined and a distance measurement carried out. In an evaluation or plausibility logic, the ge distance measurements on the optical and high-frequency channel compared and a safe distance specification or measurement for a fixed distance determined.

In der einzigen Zeichnung ist als Beispiel eine Einrichtung zum Bestim­ men von Abständen im Nahbereich dargestellt. Dort dient eine Laserdiode als optischer Sender 1 und eine PIN-Diode 2 als optischer Empfänger. Von dem Sender wird eine Hochfrequenzenergie ausgekoppelt, vom Sendepulser 3 über eine Streifenleitung 4, die an eine aperiodische Antenne 5 ange­ schlossen ist. Der Streifenleitung 4 ist ein Richtkoppler 6 zugeordnet zur Unterscheidung der Ein- und Ausgangssignale oder über den Zeitver­ lauf der Signale. Diese Signale werden verstärkt und/oder verzögert in einer Verzögerungsleitung 7 und einer Dual-Gate-Stufe 8 zugeführt. Eine gleiche Dual-Gate-Stufe 9 ist mit der Ablaufsteuerung 10 und diese mit dem Sendepulser 3 verbunden. Die Dual-Gate-Stufen 8 und 9 sind mit der Auswertelogik 11 verbunden und die Dual-Gate Stufe 8 ist ihrerseits an den optischen Empfänger 2 angeschlossen. Die Ausgabe 12 ist der Auswer­ telogik 11 zugeordnet.In the single drawing, a device for determining distances in the close range is shown as an example. There, a laser diode serves as an optical transmitter 1 and a PIN diode 2 as an optical receiver. A radio frequency energy is coupled out from the transmitter, from the transmitter pulser 3 via a strip line 4 , which is connected to an aperiodic antenna 5 . The stripline 4 is assigned a directional coupler 6 to differentiate the input and output signals or the time course of the signals. These signals are amplified and / or delayed in a delay line 7 and a dual gate stage 8 . An identical dual-gate stage 9 is connected to the sequence controller 10 and this is connected to the transmit pulser 3 . The dual-gate stages 8 and 9 are connected to the evaluation logic 11 and the dual-gate stage 8 is in turn connected to the optical receiver 2 . The output 12 is assigned to the evaluation telogic 11 .

Die Signalausgabe erfolgt z.B. an eine Zündstufe 13 als Auslöser für ein Sicherheitssystem wie Rückhaltesystem, wenn im Kfz angewandt. Dort wird dann in bekannter Weise ein Gasgenerator gezündet, welcher ein Gaskissen aufbläst oder einen Gurt strammt.The signal is output, for example, to an ignition stage 13 as a trigger for a safety system such as a restraint system when used in a motor vehicle. There, a gas generator is then ignited in a known manner, which inflates a gas cushion or tightens a belt.

Selbstverständlich können auch andere Maßnahmen ausgelöst werden. Die Anwendung ist nicht auf Kraftfahrzeug (Kfz) beschränkt.Of course, other measures can also be triggered. The Application is not limited to motor vehicles.
