Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug, bei der jeder der Fahrzeugtüren eine Verriegelungseinrichtung mit mindestens einem Stellelement zum Schalten einer mechanischen Logik zugeordnet ist, wobei die mechanische Logik zumindest drei Stellungen einnehmen kann, nämlich eine Entriegelungsstellung, eine Verriegelungsstellung, in welcher über ein im Fahrgastraum angeordnetes Sperrelement die mechanische Logik in die Entriegelungsstellung bringbar ist, und eine Save-Stellung, in welcher eine Betätigung der mechanischen Logik über das Sperrelement nicht möglich ist, wobei die mechanische Logik der Verriegelungseinrichtungen durch einmalige Betätigung eines von außerhalb des Fahrzeuginnenraums zugänglichen Schließmechanismus einer der Verriegelungseinrichtungen in die Save-Stellung stellbar ist.The invention relates to a central locking device for a motor vehicle, in which each of the vehicle doors has a locking device with at least one Control element for switching a mechanical logic is assigned, the mechanical logic can take at least three positions, namely one Unlocking position, a locking position, in which one in the passenger compartment arranged locking element, the mechanical logic can be brought into the unlocked position and a save position in which actuation of the mechanical logic via the Locking element is not possible, the mechanical logic of Locking devices by one operation from outside the Locking mechanism accessible from the vehicle interior is one of the Locking devices can be placed in the save position.

In der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 195 12 184 A1 ist ein Autovordertürschloß offenbart, bei dem das Verriegelungssystem von einer elektronischen Logik gesteuert wird, welche die Motoren der Schlösser steuert, welche wiederum die mechanische Logik dieser Schlösser in Gang setzen. Ebenso umfassen die Schlösser elektrische Meßfühler, welche die Informationen zur mechanischen Funktion der Schlösser bei ihrer Benutzung an die Zentralelektronik übertragen. Die mechanische Logik kann dabei zwei Verriegelungsebenen bzw. -stellungen einnehmen. Die erste Verriegelungsebene entspricht einer Verriegelung der Schlösser von außerhalb des Kraftfahrzeuges, läßt jedoch noch die Möglichkeit des freien Zugangs zur mechanischen oder elektrischen Steuerung der Entriegelung vom Kraftfahrzeuginnenraum aus zu. In diesem Fall genügt es, eine Scheibe einzuschlagen und beispielsweise den Verriegelungsknopf hochzuziehen, um die Fahrzeugtür zu öffnen. Die zweite Verriegelungsebene (Save-Stellung) entspricht einer völligen Verriegelung des Fahrzeuges von innen wie von außen. Die einzige Möglichkeit zur Sicherungsentriegelung besteht im mechanischen Entriegeln einer Vordertür mit Hilfe des Schlüssels. Diese Save-Stellung wird durch das aufeinanderfolgende Drücken zweier Knöpfe einer Fembedienung mit einer Zeitverzögerung von einigen Sekunden zwischen dem zweimaligen Drücken erreicht. Zur Kontrolle, ob tatsächlich nach Betätigung der Sicherungsverriegelung die Schlösser sich in der Save-Stellung befinden, ist bei dem bekannten Schloß ein Anzeigeschalter vorgesehen, der die Save-Stellung dieses Schlosses anzeigt. In der Praxis hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß die abschließenden Personen, insbesondere wenn Zeitknappheit herrscht, nur eine einmalige Betätigung durchführen und auf die Anzeige nicht achten, wodurch das Fahrzeug nicht diebstahlsicher abgestellt wird.In the German patent application DE 195 12 184 A1 there is a car front door lock in which the locking system is controlled by electronic logic which controls the motors of the locks, which in turn controls the mechanical logic start these locks. The locks also include electrical sensors, which provides information on the mechanical function of the locks when they are used transferred to the central electronics. The mechanical logic can do two Assume locking levels or positions. The first level of locking corresponds to locking the locks from outside the motor vehicle, lets however, the possibility of free access to mechanical or electrical Control of unlocking from the motor vehicle interior too. In this case it is sufficient it is to break a window and, for example, the locking button pull up to open the vehicle door. The second locking level (save position) corresponds to a complete locking of the vehicle from the inside as well as from Outside. The only way to unlock the fuse is by mechanical means Unlock a front door using the key. This save position is determined by the successive pressing of two buttons on a remote control with a time delay of a few seconds between two presses. For control, whether the locks are actually in the Save position, a display switch is provided in the known lock, which indicates the save position of this lock. In practice, however, that the closing persons, especially when there is a shortage of time, only one Carry out one operation and do not pay attention to the display, which causes the vehicle is not parked theft-proof.

Des weiteren ist eine Verriegelungseinrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeugschloß bekannt, bei dem zwar zwei Verriegelungsebenen vorhanden sind, jedoch von außerhalb des Kraftfahrzeuges mit Hilfe eines Schlüssels oder einer Fernbedienung nur die Verriegelungsstellung, in welcher ein Öffnen der Türen vom Fahrzeuginnenraum noch möglich ist, erreicht werden kann. Befindet sich die mechanische Logik in dieser Stellung, wird auch die Diebstahlwamanlage aktiviert. Erst bei einem umbefugten Versuch, das Schloß zu öffnen, beispielsweise durch Einschlagen eines Fensters und Betätigung des im Fahrzeuginnenraum befindlichen Verriegelungsknopfes wird über das Steuergerät ein Befehl an das Stellelement erzeugt, welches dann die mechanische Logik in die Save-Stellung überführt. Hier besteht nun das Problem, daß bei einem Spannungsausfall, die Save-Stellung nicht eingestellt werden kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil liegt darin, daß die Diebstahlwarnanlage in die Verriegelungsstellung gekoppelt ist, dies bedeutet, daß bei einem Einbruchsversuch der unbefugten Person nach erfolgreicher Umschaltung der mechanischen Logik aus der Save-Stellung in die Verriegelungsstellung Zeit bleibt, nach Möglichkeiten zu suchen, die Diebstahlwarnanlage zu deaktivieren.Furthermore, a locking device for a motor vehicle lock is known for which have two locking levels, but from outside the Motor vehicle using only a key or a remote control Locking position in which the doors from the vehicle interior still open is possible can be achieved. The mechanical logic is in this Position, the anti-theft alarm system is also activated. Only with an authorized person Try to open the lock, for example by breaking a window and Actuation of the locking button located in the vehicle interior is via the Control unit generates a command to the actuator, which is then the mechanical Logic transferred to the save position. The problem now is that with one Power failure, the save position cannot be set. Another disadvantage is that the anti-theft alarm system is coupled in the locked position, this means that if an intrusion is attempted by the unauthorized person after successful Switching the mechanical logic from the save position to the Lock position Time remains to look for opportunities that Deactivate the anti-theft alarm system.

Außerdem ist eine Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art aus der DE 43 23 813 A bekannt, bei der jedoch ein Drehen des Türschlüsselzylinders in eine verriegelnde Richtung den in die Save-Stellung schaltenden Motor in Betrieb setzt und dadurch eine Save-Position bewirkt.In addition, a central locking device of the type mentioned in the DE 43 23 813 A is known, but in which a turning of the door key cylinder in a locking direction puts the motor into the save position into operation and causes a save position.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, eine Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung mit den Fahrzeugtüren zugeordneten Verriegelungseinrichtungen zu schaffen, welche die beschriebenen Nachteile bekannter Einrichtungen nicht aufweist. The object of the invention is therefore a central locking device to create locking devices associated with the vehicle doors, which does not have the described disadvantages of known devices.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen dargestellt.The object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous training and further developments are presented in the subclaims.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung ist nicht nur - wie in der DE 43 23 813 A beschrieben - die mechanische Logik der Verriegelungseinrichtungen aller Fahrzeugtüren durch eine einmalige Betätigung eines von außerhalb des Fahrzeuginnenraumes zugänglichen Schließmechanismus einer der Verriegelungseinrichtungen in die Save-Stellung stellbar, was den Vorteil hat, daß die Bedienperson beim Abstellen des Kraftfahrzeuges eine Verriegelungseinrichtung und damit auch die anderen Verriegelungseinrichtungen bei einmaliger Betätigung des Schließmechanismus immer in die Save-Stellung überführt und damit das Fahrzeug unabhängig von einem Spannungsab- oder -ausfall vor Einbruch geschützt ist, sondern die Bedienperson kann auch wahlweise durch mehrmalige Betätigung, vorzugsweise zweimalige Betätigung, eines der von außerhalb des Fahrzeuginnenraumes zugänglichen Schließmechanismen die mechanische Logik aller Verriegelungseinrichtungen in die Verriegelungsstellung versetzen, in welcher über über ein im Fahrzeuginnenraum angeordnetes Sperrelement, welches sowohl mechanisch als auch elektronisch ausgeführt sein kann, die jeweilige mit dem Sperrelement zusammenwirkende mechanische Logik oder die mechanische Logik aller Verriegelungseinrichtungen in die Entriegelungsstellung gebracht werden kann. Damit ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, daß Personen, die sich im Fahrzeuginnenraum befinden, das Fahrzeug verlassen können. Im Gegensatz zu bekannten Verriegelungseinrichtungen wird diese Handlung von der Bedienperson gezielt ausgeführt.In the central locking device according to the invention is not only - as in the DE 43 23 813 A described - the mechanical logic of the locking devices all vehicle doors by pressing once from outside the vehicle interior accessible locking mechanism one of the Locking devices in the save position adjustable, which has the advantage that the Operator when parking the motor vehicle a locking device and thus also the other locking devices when the The locking mechanism is always transferred to the save position and thus the vehicle is protected against burglary regardless of a voltage drop or failure, but the operator can also optionally by repeated actuation, preferably double actuation, one from outside the vehicle interior accessible locking mechanisms the mechanical logic of all Put locking devices in the locking position, in which over a locking element arranged in the vehicle interior, which is both mechanically and can also be carried out electronically, the respective with the locking element interacting mechanical logic or the mechanical logic of all Locking devices can be brought into the unlocked position. So that is given the possibility that people who are in the vehicle interior, the Can leave the vehicle. In contrast to known locking devices the operator carries out this action in a targeted manner.

Der von außen zugängliche Schließmechanismus kann sowohl über einen mechanischen Schlüssel als auch über eine Signale aussendende Fernbedienung betätigt werden.The locking mechanism, which is accessible from the outside, can be operated via a mechanical Keys as well as a remote control emitting signals.

Ein weiterer optionaler erfindungswesentlicher Aspekt der obigen Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung nach der Erfindung besteht darin, daß eine vorhandene Diebstahlwarnanlage aktiviert wird, wenn die mechanische Logik aller Verriegelungseinrichtungen in die Save-Stellung geschaltet ist. Damit gibt die Diebstahlwamanlage schon bei einem versuchten Einbruch, auch wenn dieser erfolglos geblieben ist, ein Warnsignal ab, beispielsweise bei versuchter Betätigung eines der im Fahrzeuginnenraum befindlichen Sperrelemente. Another optional inventive aspect of the above Central locking device according to the invention is that an existing Anti-theft alarm system is activated when the mechanical logic of all Locking devices is switched to the save position. So that gives Anti-theft alarm system even in the event of an attempted break-in, even if this is unsuccessful has remained, a warning signal, for example when trying to operate one of the Locking elements located in the vehicle interior.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung weist die Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung eine Anzeige auf, welche den aktiven Zustand der Diebstahlwarnanlage und/oder auch die Save-Stellung der mechanischen Logik aller Verriegelungseinrichtungen angibt.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the central locking device has a display showing the active state of the anti-theft alarm system and / or indicates the save position of the mechanical logic of all locking devices.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher beschrieben. Die zugehörige Zeichnung zeigt ein Blockschaltbild eines Schließsystems eines Kraftfahrzeuges.The invention is described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. The accompanying drawing shows a block diagram of a locking system Motor vehicle.

Das in der Figur gezeigte Schließsystem für ein Kraftfahrzeug beinhaltet neben den Verriegelungseinrichtungen VL, VR, HL, HR für die vorderen und hinteren Türen auch die Verriegelungseinrichtung HK für die Heckklappe des Kraftfahrzeuges. Jede der Verriegelungseinrichtungen weist eine mechanische Logik 1 bis 5 auf, deren nicht dargestellte Stellelemente (z. B. Elektromotoren) von einem dezentralen Steuergerät E1 bis E5 angesteuert werden, das mit einer zentralen Steuereinheit ZSG in Verbindung steht. Die Verriegelungseinrichtungen VL, VR der vorderen Türen und die Verriegelungseinrichtung HK der Heckklappe können des weiteren über einen mechanischen Schließmechanismus 6 bis 8 betätigt werden. Außerdem stehen die Verriegelungseinrichtungen VL, VR, HL und HR mit einem ihnen zugeordneten Sperrelement 10 (Verriegelungsknopf) über ihre dezentralen Steuergeräte E1, E2 in Verbindung, so daß diese Türen geöffnet werden können, wenn die mechanische Logik 1 bis 5 der Verriegelungseinrichtungen sich in der Verriegelungsstellung befindet. Außerdem ist die zentrale Steuereinheit ZSG mit einer Diebstahlwarnanlage 9 verbunden, die bei unbefugter Betätigung beispielsweise eines der Sperrelemente 10 akustische und/oder optische Warnsignale abgibt. Die Aktivierung der Diebstahlwamanlage 9 wird durch die Anzeige 16 angezeigt.The locking system for a motor vehicle shown in the figure includes in addition to the Locking devices VL, VR, HL, HR for the front and rear doors also the Locking device HK for the tailgate of the motor vehicle. Each of the Locking devices have mechanical logic 1 to 5, but not their shown control elements (e.g. electric motors) from a decentralized control unit E1 can be controlled to E5 in connection with a central control unit ZSG stands. The locking devices VL, VR of the front doors and the Locking device HK of the tailgate can also via a mechanical locking mechanism 6 to 8 are operated. In addition, the Locking devices VL, VR, HL and HR with one assigned to them Locking element 10 (locking button) via their decentralized control units E1, E2 in Connection so that these doors can be opened if the mechanical logic 1 to 5 of the locking devices is in the locking position. In addition, the central control unit ZSG with an anti-theft alarm system 9 connected, for example, one of the locking elements 10 when unauthorized actuation emits acoustic and / or optical warning signals. The activation of the Theft alarm system 9 is indicated by the display 16.

Im weiteren wird die Wirkungsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung näher erläutert. Die mechanische Logik 1 bis 5 der Verriegelungseinrichtungen VL, VR, HL, HR, HK kann drei Stellungen einnehmen, nämlich eine Entriegelungsstellung, eine Verriegelungsstellung, in welcher eine Rückschaltung der mechanischen Logik in die Entriegelungsstellung durch das Sperrelement 10 möglich ist, und eine Save-Stellung, in welcher die Betätigung der mechanischen Logik über das Sperrelement 10 nicht möglich ist. Für eine einfache Bedienung der Verriegelungseinrichtungen und eine sichere Schaltung der mechanischen Logik 1 bis 5 in die Save-Stellung beim Abstellen des Kraftfahrzeuges wird einer der von außerhalb des Fahrzeuginnenraums zugängliche Schließmechanismen 6 bis 8 der Verriegelungseinrichtungen VL, VR, HK einmalig durch einen einführbaren Schlüssel 11 oder eine Signale aussendende Fernbedienung betätigt.The mode of operation of the device according to the invention is explained in more detail below. The mechanical logic 1 to 5 of the locking devices VL, VR, HL, HR, HK can assume three positions, namely an unlocked position, one Locked position, in which a switch back of the mechanical logic in the Unlocking position by the locking element 10 is possible, and a save position, in which the actuation of the mechanical logic via the locking element 10 is not possible is. For easy operation of the locking devices and safe Switching the mechanical logic 1 to 5 to the save position when the Motor vehicle becomes one of those accessible from outside the vehicle interior Locking mechanisms 6 to 8 of the locking devices VL, VR, HK once an insertable key 11 or a remote control emitting signals.

Bei erfolgreicher Überführung der mechanischen Logik 1 bis 5 aller Verriegelungseinrichtungen in die Safe-Stellung kann eine Quittierung über ein akustisches Signal vorgesehen sein. Nach Erreichen der Save-Stellung der mechanischen Logik 1 bis 5 aller Verriegelungseinrichtungen wird außerdem die Alarmanlage 9 über die zentrale Steuereinheit ZSG aktiviert und deren Aktivierung und damit auch die erreichte Save-Stellung von der Anzeige 16 angezeigt.If mechanical logic 1 to 5 of all is successfully transferred Locking devices in the safe position can be acknowledged via a acoustic signal can be provided. After reaching the save position of the mechanical Logic 1 to 5 of all locking devices also becomes the alarm system 9 activated via the central control unit ZSG and their activation and thus also the reached save position indicated by the display 16.

Bei einer zweimaligen Betätigung eines der Schließmechanismen 6 bis 8 wird die mechanische Logik 1 bis 5 der Verriegelungseinrichtungen VL, VR, HK in die einfache Verriegelungsstellung gebracht, in welcher über das Sperrelement 10 im Fahrzeuginnenraum die mechanische Logik 1 bis 5 in die Entriegelungsstellung versetzbar ist.If one of the locking mechanisms 6 to 8 is actuated twice, the mechanical logic 1 to 5 of the locking devices VL, VR, HK in the simple Brought locking position, in which the locking element 10 in the vehicle interior mechanical logic 1 to 5 can be moved to the unlocked position is.

Vorraussetzung für ein Schalten der mechanischen Logik 1 bis 5 in die Safe- oder Verriegelungsstellung ist jedoch, daß die Fahrertür, im Ausführungsbeispiel die linke Vordertür geschlossen ist. Ist dies nicht der Fall wird der Safe- oder Verriegelungsbefehl der Schließmechanismen 6, 7 oder 8 ignoriert. Auch bei eingeschalteter Zündung ist ein Umschalten der mechanischen Logik 1 bis 5 der einzelnen Verriegelungseinrichtungen nicht möglich.Prerequisite for switching mechanical logic 1 to 5 into the safe or Locking position is, however, that the driver's door, in the embodiment, the left Front door is closed. If this is not the case, the safe or lock command is issued of locking mechanisms 6, 7 or 8 ignored. Even when the ignition is switched on, a Switching the mechanical logic 1 to 5 of the individual locking devices not possible.
