Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a central locking system and a security device for motor vehicles with the features of the preambles of claims 1 and 2 and a central locking system and security device with the features of the preambles of claims 3 and 8, which from DE 35 13 555 C2 are known.
  • the respective generic control method can also be derived from the same patent specification.
  • To control an additional security or blocking device for the actuating elements of a central locking system via a locking cylinder there is a first microswitch for switching on and a second microswitch for switching off the actuating element blocking - which mechanically prevents the opening of a secured vehicle from the inside after a window pane has been knocked in - Assigned to the lock cylinder mentioned.
  • a third microswitch is assigned to the locking cylinder for controlling the central locking system; this control itself is not described in the cited patent.
  • a lockable actuator that can be used in a generic device is known from DE 38 04 838 C1.
  • the additional safety device is switched on, the purely mechanical unlocking of the lock assigned to it and thus the use of the vehicle is possible even in the event of a possible failure of the on-board voltage required to switch off the safety device.
  • the central locking system is controlled by the switching states 1) and 2) in the unlocking or locking direction, and by the switching state 3) the safety device is switched on.
  • the sequence "first lock, then secure” is easily adhered to, because the central locking system is already activated in the locking direction by the single signal from the locking control switch and the safety device is only activated in the locking direction after the simultaneous actuation of the unlocking control switch can.
  • a separate "unlocking position” is not necessary here because the safety device - in a manner known per se (DE 33 34 049 C2) - can be switched off again by a simple control signal "unlocking" the unlocking control switch (when the key is turned in the unlocking direction).
  • the required ranking is guaranteed by internal signal processing.
  • the method claim 2 discloses, as well as the switching state 3), in which the two control switches are operated simultaneously after switching, can advantageously be evaluated to produce different switching effects by taking into account the switching sequence of the control switches.
  • the mechanical safety device unlock when the first and both remain one for the lock and then used for the unlocking control switch is operated operated even once. So far the arrangement corresponds to that already described.
  • the mechanical locking device can only be switched off when first actuated for unlocking and then used for the locking control switch and control both remain still actuated at the same time.
  • the time sequence "first unlock, then unlock” is ensured, which can happen, for example, by not processing a simple unlocking control signal from the unlocking control switch when the safety device is switched on due to electrical suppression.
  • the respective switching state of the safety device can be easily stored and queried in a central control device in a known manner.
  • a central control circuit 1 is divided into a central locking part ZV and a safety part DS, both of which are connected to a voltage source 2.
  • the central control circuit 1 is followed by control elements 3, which in turn each have a central locking drive ZVE and a safety drive DSE, wherein the drive ZVE can be activated by the central locking part ZV and the drive DSE by the safety part DS of the central control circuit 1.
  • control elements 3 which in turn each have a central locking drive ZVE and a safety drive DSE, wherein the drive ZVE can be activated by the central locking part ZV and the drive DSE by the safety part DS of the central control circuit 1.
  • the central locking part ZV and the drives ZVE together form the central locking system, while the security device is formed by the security part DS and the drives DSE.
  • the drives ZVE and DSE shown only schematically, can be operated in a known manner electromagnetically, electromotively or pneumatically.
  • First (unlocking) control switches 5 are connected to an unlocking control input ZV ent of the central locking part ZV via a control line 4 and second (locking) control switches 7 are connected to a locking control input ZV ver via a control line 6, the structural arrangement and execution of which will be discussed later.
  • Second (locking) control switches 7 are connected to a locking control input ZV ver via a control line 6, the structural arrangement and execution of which will be discussed later.
  • a pair of an unlocking control switch 5 and a locking control switch 7 is assigned to a locking point FT in the driver's door or BT in the passenger's door, further locking points being able to be electrically connected in the same way.
  • all the control switches with respect to the central control circuit 1 or their inputs are at the same electrical potential P.
  • a DS DS performs a control line 8 are connected to the outputs of AND gates.
  • control switches are connected 5 and 7 a closed position at the two inputs in each case one of the AND gates 9, so that an output signal of the AND gates and therefore a signal on control line 8 and the backup control input DS only results when both control switches 5 AND 7 are switched simultaneously (see FIG. 3a).
  • this signal is used to switch on or activate the mechanical safety device or control element blocking.
  • voltage supplies for the logic gates and any necessary inverters, etc. have been omitted.
  • the unlocking control switches 5 of the various locking points are connected to a control line 10 which is connected to an unlocking control input DS from the securing part DS;
  • a control line 10 which is connected to an unlocking control input DS from the securing part DS;
  • the security device DS / DSE is first switched off, if appropriate, and the central locking system ZV / ZVE is then activated in the unlocking direction.
  • the dashed continuation of the control lines 4, 6, 8 and 10 makes it clear that in principle any number of closing points or pairs of control switches can be connected.
  • a possible structural arrangement of the control switches 5 and 7 at a closing point can be seen in FIG. 2 .
  • a locking cylinder 11 can be pivoted with a key S out of the neutral center or key withdrawal position shown in the locking or securing direction (arrow V, clockwise) and in the unlocking or unlocking direction (arrow E, counterclockwise).
  • a pressure point device 13 On a lock nut 12, which, as indicated by a broken double line, is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the lock cylinder 11, on the one hand a pressure point device 13 is shown in simplified form, which has a noticeable mechanical resistance at a pivoting angle ⁇ of approximately 55 ° in the sense of securing the further pivoting opposed. This mechanical resistance is desirable to provide tactile information to the vehicle user to turn on the safety condition of his vehicle.
  • the lock nut 12 are the two control switches 5 and 7 - pushbutton switches in micro design with switching plungers 5.1 and 7.1 - spatially adjacent; for its actuation, the lock nut has 12 different switching cams corresponding to the switching plungers.
  • the arrangement in the drawing was chosen according to size ratios and relative positions with the purpose of clarifying the position of the switching angle at which the control switches 5 and 7 are actuated or switched on when the locking cylinder 11 is pivoted, and is therefore not to scale.
  • the indicated switching plungers 5.1 and 7.1 of the control switches are located in different levels - which in turn lie parallel to the plane of the drawing -, and the corresponding switching cams are located in correspondingly different levels on the circumference of the lock nut 12.
  • the first switching cam 14 actuates the control switch 5 when the locking cylinder 11 is pivoted counterclockwise, its switching angle ⁇ , which defines the regular unlocking position of the locking cylinder 11, being approximately 20 °.
  • the second switching cam 15 actuates the control switch 7 when the locking cylinder 11 is pivoted clockwise, its switching angle ⁇ , which defines the regular locking position of the locking cylinder 11, also being approximately 20 °.
  • control switch 7 remains switched at the same time, there is a common switching state which can be evaluated to switch on the safety device DS / DSE, as has already been described in connection with FIG. 1. All switching angle information relates to the neutral key withdrawal position (0 °).
  • FIG. 3 shows a simple example circuit with the logic gates of which the common switching state of both control switches 5 and 7 can still be evaluated according to the switching sequence of the two switches in order to produce different effects, as already described.
  • the locking cylinder can also be pivoted in a known manner in the unlocking direction beyond the regular unlocking position into a unlocking position, the unlocking control switch 5 being switched first and then the locking control switch 7 being additionally switched in the unlocking position, in reverse of that already associated with FIG 2 described operation. The latter is of course also maintained here when the lock cylinder is pivoted in the locking direction.
  • the mechanical arrangement essentially corresponds to that shown in FIG. 2, with a switching cam 16 ′ (indicated by dashed lines in FIG.
  • FIG 3a the schematic qualitative diagram of the switching times of the control switches 5 and 7 plotted over shows the pivoting angles of the locking cylinder 11, there is a vertical axis for the neutral key withdrawal position of the locking cylinder 11 at 0 °.
  • An upper horizontal axis stands for the control switch 5, a lower horizontal axis for the control switch 7.
  • the (positive) pivoting angles of the locking cylinder in the clockwise direction in the direction V or in the left in the E direction are the (negative) pivoting angles thereof applied counterclockwise.
  • the respective switching states of the control switches are shown here only by logic levels "0" (unactuated idle state) and "1" (switched state).
  • control switch 7 is switched to the state "1" at a swivel angle + ⁇ of the locking cylinder. It remains switched during further swiveling of the lock cylinder in the same direction, whereby after passing the pressure point angle + ⁇ a swivel angle + ⁇ is finally reached, in which the control switch 5 is also switched to its switching state "1", which results in a first common switching state, as above already mentioned.
  • the angle + ⁇ corresponds to the regular locking position of the lock cylinder 11, while the angle + ⁇ corresponds to the locking position SI, as has already been described above.
  • control switch 5 is initially switched to its "1" state, corresponding to the regular unlocking position of the locking cylinder 11. If the swivel movement is continued beyond a further pressure point angle - ⁇ - the control switch 7 remains in the "1" state "-, in addition, the control switch 5 is also switched to its" 1 "state at a swivel angle - ⁇ , which corresponds to the already mentioned unlocking position, so that there is a further common switching state of both control switches.
  • the two common switching states which are set in each case at swivel angles + ⁇ and - ⁇ , can easily be distinguished by the switching sequence in which they come about, as described below.
  • the output signal of the timing element T5 is fed to a third input of the AND gate 9.1 and the output signal of the timing element T7 is fed to a third input of the AND gate 9.2.
  • AND gates 17 and 18 could also be implemented by relays with break contacts, which in turn should be controllable by the timing elements T5 and T7.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 For the sake of clarity, the control inputs for the central locking system and the safety device are shown separately in FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • a central control circuit 1 ' is shown with only two inputs E1 and E2, to which the control switches 5 and 7 are connected directly via control lines 4' and 6 ', ie, here are the logic gates shown in Figures 1 and 3 or Timers and their connections integrated into the central control circuit 1 '.
  • outputs 5 'and 7' of a control device 19 (code comparator, amplifier, etc.) of an infrared remote control device are now connected to the control lines 4 'and 6'.
  • the two outputs 5 'and 7' of the control unit 19 are mutually electrically interlocked internally, so that the safety device - which can only be switched on when signals from both control switches are present on the control lines 4 'and 6' - cannot be switched on via the remote control .
  • a hand transmitter HS with an emitter EM, an unlocking key ET and a locking key VT is provided, which is assembled in a known manner with the mechanical key S.
  • the lines 4 'and 6' can be used at least in sections in two directions ("bidirectional"), as in the section between the control device 19 and the electrical coupling of the control switches 5 and 7 indicated by small arrows in both directions, so that a transmission of signals from the control switches 5 and 7 to the control unit 19 and their reception and processing therein is possible.
  • this in turn has a blocking circuit which, when a signal from one or both of the control switches 5 and / or 7 is present at one or both of the outputs 5 'and 7', has at least the effect of a control signal from the infrared remote control device line 4 'or 6' suppressed.
  • This effect suppression or blocking circuit can be easily implemented by an internal logical combination of the control signal of the infrared remote control device with a signal from the control switches 5 and 7, the control signal mentioned only being passed to the central control circuit 1 when no signal from one of the said control switches is present ("AND NOT" link).
