Abstract

An electronic device for limiting the speed of tractor-trailer units to about 60 mph has a contact pole in the tractor coupling which activates it as soon as a trailer is hitched up.

Description

Gattung des AnmeldungsgegenstandesGenre of the object of registration

Die Erfindung betrifft die Aktivierung eines elektronischen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzers am Motor des Zugfahrzeuges (Tempomat), der bei Ankupplung eines Anhängers die erreichbare Höchstgeschwindigkeit des Zugfahrzeuges auf maximal 100 km/h begrenzt.The invention relates to the activation of a electronic speed limiter on the engine of the towing vehicle (cruise control), which when coupling a Trailer the maximum achievable speed of the Towing vehicle limited to a maximum of 100 km / h.

Angaben zur GattungInformation on the genus

Die technische Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung von Gespannen erfolgt über die Anschlußbuchse der Anhängerkupplung am Zugfahrzeug, über die die elektronische Versorgung des Anhängers für dessen Licht- und Signaleinrichtungen erfolgt.The technical speed limit of Tensioning takes place via the connection socket of the Trailer coupling on the towing vehicle, via which the electronic supply of the trailer for its light and signaling devices.

Über einen zusätzlichen Kontaktpol in der Anschlußbuchse wird bei Herstellen der Steckverbindung ein am Motor des Zugfahrzeuges befindlicher (handelsüblicher) Tempomat aktiviert, der die erreichbare Geschwindigkeit auf maximal erreichbare 100 km/h begrenzt.Via an additional contact pole in the Connection socket is used when establishing the plug connection one on the engine of the towing vehicle (Commercial) cruise control activated, which the achievable Speed to the maximum achievable 100 km / h limited.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Eigene Nachforschung ergab, daß ein der Erfindung entsprechendes System nicht auf dem Markt erhältlich ist. Die Systemkomponenten (Tempomat etc.) sind nicht Gegenstand der Erfindungsanmeldung.Own research showed that one of the invention corresponding system is not available on the market. The system components (cruise control etc.) are not Subject of the invention application.

Kritik des Standes der TechnikCritique of the state of the art

Entfällt mangels Angebot.Not applicable due to lack of offer.

Aufgabetask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Überschreiten der gesetzlich zugelassenen Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 80 km/h bei Gespannen mit technischem Zwang auf maximal 100 km/h zu begrenzen, um damit zwangsweise einen aktiven Beitrag zur Verkehrssicherheit zu erreichen. The invention has for its object that Exceeding the legally permitted Maximum speed of 80 km / h for teams with to limit technical constraints to a maximum of 100 km / h, to make an active contribution to To achieve traffic safety.  

Lösungsolution

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Einrichtung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is done with a generic Establishment by the characteristic features of the Claim 1 solved.

Weitere Ausgestaltung der ErfindungFurther embodiment of the invention

Die beim Zugfahrzeug erforderliche Technologie zur Tempobegrenzung läßt sich problemlos dem Stand der Technik anpassen (Modifizierung der heute gebräuchlichen Tempomaten). Eine technische Nachrüstung in Gebrauch befindlicher Anhängerkupplungen und Zugfahrzeuge ist laut Aussage namhafter Hersteller von Anhängerkupplungen und KFZ-Elektronik jederzeit möglich.The technology required for the towing vehicle to limit the speed can be easily the state of the Adapt technology (modification of today common cruise control). A technical Retrofit in use Towbars and towing vehicles is according to the statement Well-known manufacturer of towbars and Automotive electronics possible at any time.

Erzielbare VorteileAchievable advantages

  • - Verhinderung erheblicher Geschwindigkeitsüber­ schreitungen bei Gespannen, die häufig zu beobachten sind und statistisch belegt sehr oft zu schweren Unfällen führen.- Prevention of significant speed over riots in teams that are often too are observed and statistically proven to very often cause serious accidents.
  • - Verhinderung von Unfällen, die auf überhöhte Geschwindigkeit von Gespannen zurückzuführen sind.- Prevention of accidents that are inflated Due to the speed of teams are.
  • - Volkswirtschaftlicher Nutzen durch Vermeidung von Unfall- und Unfallfolgekosten.- Economic benefits by avoiding Accident and consequential costs.
  • - Günstige Beeinflussung der Fahrzeug- und Anhängerversicherungsprämien.- Favorably influencing the vehicle and Trailer insurance premiums.
  • - Umweltschonend, weil zwangsläufig geringerer Kraftstoffverbrauch.- Environmentally friendly because inevitably less Fuel consumption.
