Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remote control system for closures with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic remote control system is known (DE 30 43 627 C2). It is based on a portable infrared (hand) transmitter, which can be used outside of a vehicle to remote control the vehicle lock or an electric garage door operator and which can be inserted into a receptacle inside the vehicle, its transmit button being actuated automatically and triggered by the A safety device is switched off via a light guide cable and its own receiver.
  • a remote control system is also known (US Pat. No. 2,543,789) which enables the control of a garage door drive via two transmitters which are fixedly arranged in a vehicle and which can be activated together from the passenger compartment for signal generation and transmission.
  • a control of vehicle locking functions and an arrangement of the transmitters that can be detached from the vehicle is not disclosed there.
  • the object of the invention is to enable better and more convenient use of the movable (hand-held) transmitter of a generic remote control system.
  • the light guide cable is extended to at least one mouth arranged in or immediately behind the outer skin of the body, so that the signals from the handheld transmitter in the receptacle can reach a second receiver located outside the vehicle.
  • this arrangement can be used to control a second receiver, which is assigned to a garage door drive, without the vehicle user having to take the transmitter out of the receptacle and align it with the second receiver.
  • This is of course particularly advantageous if the infrared hand-held transmitter is assembled with the mechanical ignition key in a manner known per se (DE 33 14 072 C2, DE 38 28 794 A1). Then the ignition key does not need to be removed from the ignition / starter lock - which in this case serves as the "receiver" for the handheld transmitter - in order to be able to control the garage door drive.
  • the at least one opening of the light guide cable can advantageously be arranged behind a transparent cover, which is present anyway in the form of the lenses of the headlights or other light sources, or also behind the passenger compartment glazing.
  • the at least one mouth is preferably arranged on the front of the motor vehicle; of course, several mouths can be provided, which then z. B. are arranged in pairs on the front and rear of the motor vehicle.
  • a signal converter in the light guide cable which, with preferably different coding of the first - in-vehicle - or second - in-vehicle external - receiver adapts the coded signals of the handheld transmitter matched to the code of the first receiver to the code of the second receiver.
  • the signal converter can be an independent transmitter, in which the same code as in the second receiver is stored and which can be controlled by the hand transmitter via the fiber optic cable between the receptacle and the plug connection to emit its code signal, which is then via the branches of the Light guide cable is transmitted to the mouths in the body shell.
  • a special variant consists in coupling the transmitter signals into light guides, which, as has already been proposed, is used anyway in the vehicle to direct the light from Signal lights are provided and open in the outer skin of these signal lights as light exit surfaces.
  • a motor vehicle 1 shown in outline is equipped with a first receiver 2 and a control unit 3 of a central locking system, not shown.
  • motor vehicle 1 there is also a movable hand-held transmitter 4 with a transmit button 4T and an emitter 4E (FIG. 2), which is provided for remote control of the central locking system and is assembled with a mechanical ignition key 5, in an advantageously formed by the ignition / starter lock Recording 6.
  • a light guide cable 7 opens, which is branched at a line branch 7 'to a plurality of openings 8 arranged on the outer skin of the body.
  • These orifices are arranged behind diffusing screens of vehicle headlights SW or other light sources or behind the passenger compartment glazing F, preferably, as shown, on the front and rear of the motor vehicle 1.
  • a second receiver 9 is arranged outside the motor vehicle 1, to which - indicated by dashed lines - signals from at least one of the openings 8 arranged on the outer skin of the body can be transmitted without contact.
  • the second receiver 9 preferably belongs to a garage door drive, not shown.
  • the openings 8 of the light guide cable 7 in the outer skin of the body must be designed such that a sufficient signal intensity (e.g. beam bundling by suitable lenses at the openings 8) is ensured on the second receiver 9 even if the vehicle 1 is only approximately aligned thereon .
  • Both receivers 2 and 9 and the hand transmitter 4 are in a known manner with coding means, for. B. coding switches or code memories.
  • a code other than that in the first receiver 2 is preferably stored in the second receiver, so that the signals of the hand transmitter 4 coded in accordance with the first receiver must be converted in order to be able to trigger switching effects on the garage door drive.
  • FIG. 2 This task is taken over by a signal converter 10 shown in FIG. 2 , in which the same components have the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1, which is connected to the light guide cable 7 directly behind its mouth into the receptacle 6.
  • the mouth is closed by a collecting lens L, which is opposite the emitter 4E of the hand-held transmitter 4 when it is in the working position.
  • the working position can be defined by one or more of the positions of the ignition / steering lock, which is not shown in detail and forms the receptacle 6.
  • the code matching the second receiver 9 is stored in the mentioned signal converter 10.
  • a symbolically indicated plug connection 11 between the light guide cable 7 and the signal converter 10 enables its rapid exchange z. B.
  • the rapid access to the signal converter 10 is used to accommodate z. B. in a lockable glove compartment 12 of the motor vehicle 1, which is usually arranged in the vicinity of the ignition / steering lock.
  • a simple bypass can of course be provided instead of another signal converter;
  • a bridging is also provided if the vehicle owner should explicitly request the same coding of the first and the second receiver in order to be able to operate the garage door drive with the hand transmitter 4 remotely even outside the vehicle.
  • amplification of the signals from the handheld transmitter is provided in the fiber optic cable;
  • a suitable amplifier 10 ' is integrated into the signal converter 10 or into a bypass which replaces it.
