Description
Gegenstand der Erfindung 111 eirTVirfahr^n fur Verringerung schwerer Unfälle im Straßenverkehr hervorgerufen Infolge mangelnder geistiger Konzentration und einer zu dieser Ausführung dienenden technischen Einrichtung. Subject of the invention: a method for reducing serious road traffic accidents caused by a lack of mental concentration and a technical device for carrying this out.
Verfahren, bzw Gewohnheiten zur Eindämmung von Unfällen, werden in der Regei, bei rechtzeitiger Erkennung, durch eine Art Selbstbefragung des einzelnen Fahrers, also mehr nach Gefühl, gelöst. Dies sind zumeist Feststellungen die eine Beeinträchtigung des Sehvermögens ausmachen. Der Fahrer entscheidet dann nach eigenen Ermessen welche Maßnahme ergriffen werden soll. Dabei dient ihm lediglich der dem aktuellen Stand nacheilenden Verkehrsfunk als technische Hilfe.Procedures or habits for reducing accidents are usually resolved, if detected early, by a kind of self-questioning by the individual driver, i.e. more by feeling. These are usually findings that indicate an impairment of vision. The driver then decides at his own discretion which measure should be taken. The only technical aid he has is the traffic information, which keeps up with the latest situation.
Tritt eine rechtzeitige Erkennung nicht ein, dieses kann schon durch Ablenkung eintreten, so ist die Selbsteinschätzung gestört. Dann bricht die alleinige visuelle Wahrnehmung zusammen und das Fahrzeug wird zum fahrenden Risiko.If timely recognition is not achieved, which can be caused by distraction, self-assessment is impaired. Visual perception alone then breaks down and the vehicle becomes a driving risk.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich zur Aufgabe gestellt, eine technisches Verfahren anzubieten, das das Verantwortungsbewußtsein anregt und den Lenkkontakt kontinuierlich überprüft.The present invention aims to offer a technical method that stimulates a sense of responsibility and continuously checks the steering contact.
Das Verfahren nach der Erfindung beruht darauf, das eine Art Multikontaktband als Ring-Sensor geformt am innenkranz des Lenkrades angebracht, den Lenkontakt der HandumschlieSung an den Fingerkuppen^ P ) feststeht und bei SchlieÖdruckunterschreitung mitteis eines nachgeschalteten elektronischen Moduls eine akustisch wahrnehmbare Meldung absetzt. The method according to the invention is based on a type of multi-contact band shaped as a ring sensor attached to the inner rim of the steering wheel, the steering contact of the hand grip on the fingertips^ P ) is fixed and, when the closing pressure falls below the limit, sends an acoustically perceptible message by means of a downstream electronic module.
Diese Aufgaben werden erfindungsgemäß dadurch geiöBt, daß ein plastisch verformbares Muitikontaktband, bestehend aus einer durchgehenden Kontaktseele, einen teilisolierten Zwischenraum, einer darüber liegenden Kontaktwickiung und einer flexiblen Umhüllung , wobei die elektrisch leitende Kontaktwickiung ( 4- ) eine sägezahnähnliche Wickeisteigung annimmt und eine ovale Querschnittsform erhält, die Kontaktwickiung ( 4- ) um einen mit Durchgriffenster ( 31 } versehenen Isolierschlauch { 3 ) gewickelt ist und eine plastisch verformbare Kontaktseele ( 1 ) im durchbrochenen isolierschlauch ( 3 ) vorhanden ist.These objects are achieved according to the invention in that a plastically deformable multi-contact strip, consisting of a continuous contact core, a partially insulated intermediate space, a contact winding above it and a flexible sheath, whereby the electrically conductive contact winding (4-) assumes a sawtooth-like winding pitch and has an oval cross-sectional shape, the contact winding (4-) is wound around an insulating tube (3) provided with a penetration window (31) and a plastically deformable contact core (1) is present in the perforated insulating tube (3).
Die mit dem Verfahren erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin,daß ein Dialog zwischen Mensch und Maschine ( Fahrzeug ) hergestellt wird, welcher eine Art "Wir Gefühl" erzeugt. Dabei wird die Tatsache ausgenutzt, daß sich ein intensiveres Verantwortungsbewustsein gegenüber dem geführten Fahrzeug, gleichwohl auf alle von außen kommenden das Fahrzeug tangierenden Verkehrssutiatlonen fortpflanzt. Dies führt zu einer vermehrten Umsichtigkeit, woraus folgt, - ein größerer Abstand zum Vordermann, - ein vermehrter Wunsch nach möglicher Weltsicht nach vorne sowie nach hinten, also Insgesamt eine Verbesserung des VerkehrsfluBabbiides im direkten Umfeld.The advantages achieved with the method are in particular that a dialogue is established between man and machine (vehicle), which creates a kind of "we feeling". This exploits the fact that a more intense sense of responsibility towards the vehicle being driven also spreads to all traffic situations coming from outside that affect the vehicle. This leads to increased caution, which results in - a greater distance from the vehicle in front, - an increased desire for a possible view of the world both to the front and to the rear, thus overall an improvement in the traffic flow pattern in the immediate vicinity.
Beschreibung des formbar'en'Muitik'ontaktbandes :Description of the moldable multi-contact tape:
Jede der Im relativ flachen Winkel zur Kontaktseele ( 1 ) stehenden Kontaktwindungen ( 4- ) bildet im Bereich einer Fensteröffnung &iacgr; 31 ) zusammen mit der Kontaktseele ( 1 3 einen Arbeitskontakt.Each of the contact windings (4-) which are at a relatively flat angle to the contact core (1) forms a working contact in the area of a window opening (31) together with the contact core (13).
Beim Angreifen einer Kraft auf die Betätigungszone wird eine oder mehrere der Kontaktwindungen ( 4· ) durch die Fensteröffnungen ( 31 3 dringen und eine elektrische Verbindung zur Kontaktseele ( 1 5 hersteilen. Gleichzeitig reibt sich, infoige der verbleibenden Winkeisteiiung die Berührungsfläche stets sauber. Die Rückstellkraft wird einerseits erzeugt durch eine Spiralfederkraft der flachgedrückten Einzelwendel und andererseits erzeugt durch die zusammengepreßten Gummiteile im Bereich der Fensterränder.When a force is applied to the actuation zone, one or more of the contact windings (4·) will penetrate through the window openings (31 3) and establish an electrical connection to the contact core (1 5). At the same time, the contact surface always rubs cleanly due to the remaining angle. The restoring force is generated on the one hand by a spiral spring force of the flattened individual coil and on the other hand by the compressed rubber parts in the area of the window edges.
Das verwendete Material der Kontaktseeie ( 1 ) und der Kontaktwindungen ( 4 ) ist nun derart gewählt worden, daß eine plastische Verformung des schlauchähnlichen Kontaktbandes erfolgen kann. Dabei ist ein minimaler Biegeradius C 5.1 ) erreichbar der es gestattet das Muitikontaktband plastisch so zu formen, daß z.B. Kfz,- Lenkräder nebst Umführung der Lenkradspeichen , im inneren Lenkkranz umlaufend, damit ausgerüstet werden können.The material used for the contact wire (1) and the contact windings (4) has been chosen in such a way that the hose-like contact band can be plastically deformed. A minimum bending radius C 5.1) can be achieved, which allows the multi-contact band to be plastically formed in such a way that, for example, vehicle steering wheels can be equipped with it, along with the steering wheel spokes, running around the inner steering rim.
