- Increasing the visibility of a message becomes all the more important the more control lights are provided, each of which must stand out in a specific way to achieve its signal effect.

- This mode of operation of a light emitting diode is realized in light emitting diodes which are continuously energized and thus permanently lit.
- resistors 7 and 8 are dimensioned so that in normal operation, the current through the light emitting diodes 3 and 4, the current through the light emitting diodes 1 and 2, which are not provided for an amplification of their signal effect corresponds.
- the voltage level UL at the anode of the LEDs 3 and 4 is raised to the level of the operating voltage UB by the functional element 13, the current path between the line for the the circuit supplying operating voltage UB and the anode of the light emitting diodes 3 and 4 switches through virtually unrestricted. Then flows through the LEDs 3 and 4, a normal state increased current, which in turn leads to a greater light intensity in the LEDs 3 and 4 respectively.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Anzeigen einer Meldung mit einer Leuchtdiode und einer den Betriebsstrom der Leuchtdiode steuernden Steuereinheit gemäß dem Oberbegriff des ersten Anspruchs. Insbesondere bezieht sich die Erfindung auf einen Verbund von mehreren in einem Fahrzeug angeordneten Kontrollleuchten, wobei jede Kontrollleuchte mit einer Leuchtdiode ausgestattet ist und die Kontrollleuchte dem Fahrer eine spezifische Meldung vermittelt. Derartige Kontrollleuchten können zum Beispiel in einem in einem Armaturenbrett des Fahrzeugs angeordneten Kombiinstrument angeordnet sein, wobei das Kombiinstrument in seiner Baugruppe mehrere anzeigende Vorrichtungen vereinigt.The invention relates to a device for displaying a message with a light emitting diode and a control unit controlling the operating current of the light emitting diode according to the preamble of the first claim. In particular, the invention relates to a combination of several arranged in a vehicle control lights, each indicator light is equipped with a light emitting diode and the indicator gives the driver a specific message. Such warning lights may be arranged, for example, in an instrument cluster arranged in a dashboard of the vehicle, wherein the combination instrument unites a plurality of indicating devices in its assembly.
Zum Anzeigen von Meldungen werden heute in gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen aus Kostengründen zunehmend aus einem Halbleitermaterial bestehende Leuchtdioden eingesetzt, die jedoch nach ihrem gegenwärtigen Stand der Technik als einzelne Lichtquelle nicht dieselbe Lichtstärke zu erzeugen vermögen wie herkömmliche Glühlampen, die mit einer elektrischen Leistung von einigen Watt belastbar sind. Leuchtdioden stoßen dahingegen schnell an die Grenzen ihrer physikalischen Belastbarkeit. Das Problem kann Kostengründen nicht dadurch gelöst werden, dass bei einer Vorrichtung zum Anzeigen einer Meldung in jeder ihrer Leuchtkammern mehrere Leuchtdioden vorgesehen werden.To display messages are increasingly used today in generic devices for cost reasons existing light-emitting diodes of a semiconductor material, but their current state of the art as a single light source can not produce the same light intensity as conventional light bulbs, which can be loaded with an electrical power of a few watts , By contrast, light-emitting diodes quickly reach the limits of their physical capacity. The problem can not be solved by cost reasons that are provided in a device for displaying a message in each of their light-emitting multiple light emitting diodes.
Aus der
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, bei einer Vorrichtung zum Anzeigen einer Meldung mit einer Leuchtdiode zumindest die gleiche Sichtbarkeit und Signalwirkung zu erzeugen wie die bei herkömmlichen Glühlampen, die bisher in Armaturenbrettern eingesetzt wurden.It is therefore the object of the present invention, in a device for displaying a message with a light-emitting diode at least the same To produce visibility and signal effect as with conventional incandescent lamps, which were previously used in dashboards.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des ersten Anspruchs gelöst. Die abhängigen Ansprüche zeigen vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der gefundenen Lösung.This object is solved by the features of the first claim. The dependent claims show advantageous embodiments and developments of the solution found.
Die Lösung macht sich die Erkenntnis zunutze, daß das menschliche Auge Intensitätsänderungen einer optischen Anzeige stärker wahrnimmt als eine statische Anzeige. Die Wahrnehmung einer bestimmten Meldung ist somit nicht allein von der Lichtstärke abhängig, mit der eine Lichtquelle leuchtet, sondern auch davon, wie sehr sich die Anzeige der Meldung von ihrer Umgebung unterscheidet. Insbesondere wenn mehrere Kontrolleuchten in einem Verbund in einem Kombiinstrument im Armaturenbrett eines Fahrzeugs betrieben werden, kann die Aufmerksamkeit eines Fahrers für eine bestimmte Meldung dadurch erheblich erhöht werden, daß sich diese Meldung blinkend von den übrigen Meldungen abhebt. Die Erhöhung der Wahrnehmbarkeit einer Meldung wird um so wichtiger, desto mehr Kontrolleuchten vorgesehen sind, von denen sich jede einzelne zur Erzielung ihrer Signalwirkung in spezifischer Weise abheben muß. In heutigen Nutzfahrzeugen können durchaus dreißig und mehr Kontrolleuchten vorhanden sein, so daß es wichtig ist, eine Lösung zu finden, um eine einzelne Meldung in der Flut aller auf den Fahrer einströmenden Meldungen hervorzuheben.The solution makes use of the knowledge that the human eye perceives intensity changes of an optical display more than a static display. The perception of a particular message is thus dependent not only on the light intensity with which a light source shines, but also on how much the message display differs from its surroundings. In particular, when multiple lights are operated in a composite in an instrument cluster in the dashboard of a vehicle, a driver's attention to a particular message can be significantly increased by the fact that this message is flashing from the other messages. Increasing the visibility of a message becomes all the more important the more control lights are provided, each of which must stand out in a specific way to achieve its signal effect. In today's commercial vehicles, there may well be thirty and more pilot lights, so it is important to find a solution to highlight a single message in the tide of all messages flowing to the driver.
Diese Wirkung wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erzielt, daß die Steuereinheit, die den Betriebsstrom der Leuchtdiode steuert, zur Anhebung der Signalwirkung der Meldung den Betriebsstrom der Leuchtdiode kurzzeitig wiederholt über das sonstige Niveau des Betriebsstroms anhebt. Diese Betriebsweise einer Leuchtdiode wird bei Leuchtdioden realisiert die kontinuierlich bestromt werden und damit dauerhaft leuchten.This effect is achieved according to the invention in that the control unit which controls the operating current of the light-emitting diode briefly raises the operating current of the light-emitting diode over the other level of the operating current to increase the signal effect of the message. This mode of operation of a light emitting diode is realized in light emitting diodes which are continuously energized and thus permanently lit.
Anhand von drei Figuren soll die Erfindung nun noch näher erläutert werden.
In der
Der Stromimpuls IP wird zur Steigerung seiner Signalwirkung von einer Steuereinheit periodisch ausgelöst. Die Wiederholzeit tW für den Stromimpuls IP kann frei programmierbar sein. Sie wird jedoch in der Regel der üblichen Blinkfrequenz für gattungsgemäße Kontrolleuchten angepaßt. Es hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Dauer tP der Stromimpulse IP mit etwa 170 bis 200 Millisekunden zu bemessen. Die Intensität der Stromimpulse IP richtet sich nach den Leistungsdaten der verwendeten Leuchtdiode, denn die gemittelte an der Leuchtdiode auftretende Verlustleistung sollte auch bei hohen Betriebstemperaturen innerhalb der für die Leuchtdiode geltenden Belastbarkeitsgrenzen bleiben, um die Betriebsdauer der Leuchtdiode nicht unnötig durch eine zu hohe Strombelastung zu vermindern.

- Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the boosting of the operating current (ILED) of the light-emitting diode (1, 2, 3 or 4) takes place by virtue of the fact that, in parallel with a series resistor (7 or 8) which is connected in series with the light-emitting diode (1, 2, 3 or 4), a further current path, whose current is limited by a resistor (9 or 10), is isolated from an electrical potential, which is sufficiently reduced in comparison with the operating voltage (UB) applied to the anode of the light-emitting diode (1, 2, 3 or 4), by means of signals (D, F1, F2) from the control unit.
- Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the boosting of the operating current (ILED) of the light-emitting diode (3 or 4) which is provided for the short-term signal amplification takes place by virtue of the facta) that an element (Z) is provided which produces a voltage drop and which lowers the voltage level (UL) applied to the anode of the light-emitting diode (3 or 4) in comparison with the operating voltage (UB) for another light-emitting diode (1 or 2) for which signal amplification is not provided,b) that a current-limiting element (7 or 8) is provided which adjusts the current which flows through the light-emitting diode (3 or 4) provided for the signal amplification in such a way that this current in the normal case corresponds to the current which flows through the other light-emitting diode (1 or 2) for which signal amplification is not provided.c) that a switching element (T) is provided which, for the case in which signal amplification is desired for the light-emitting diode (3 or 4), bridges the element (Z), which produces a voltage drop, when instructed to do so by a control signal (FS) coming from the control unit, as a result of which the operating current (ILED) is boosted by the light-emitting diode (3 or 4) provided for the signal amplification.
- Apparatus according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the control unit periodically triggers a current pulse (IP), which is superimposed on the other level of the operating current (IN) for the light-emitting diode (1, 2, 3 or 4), with the repetition time (tW) for the current pulse (IP) being freely programmable, but being matched to the usual flashing clock (tT) for control luminaires of the generic type.
