Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Einstiegserleichterung bei einem Kraftfahrzeug gemäß den Oberbegriffen der Ansprüche 1 bzw. 4.The invention relates to a method and a device for facilitating boarding in a motor vehicle according to the preambles of claims 1 and 4, respectively.

Zur Erleichterung des Ein- oder Aussteigens bei engen Fahrzeugumgebungen, beispielsweise in engen Parklücken, ist es bekannt, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit rahmenlosen Fahrzeugtüren, die Scheibe einer Tür vollständig abzusenken. Gemäß einer bekannten Ausführungsform erfolgt ein vollständiges Absenken einer Türscheibe bei einem zweimaligen Entriegelungsbefehl zur Entriegelung der Fahrzeugtür, beispielsweise über einen Funkschlüssel oder über eine Befehlsstelle an der Tür.To facilitate entry or exit in tight vehicle environments, such as in tight parking spaces, it is known, especially in connection with frameless vehicle doors, completely lower the disc of a door. According to a known embodiment, a complete lowering of a door glass takes place in the case of a two-time unlocking command for unlocking the vehicle door, for example via a radio key or via an instruction point on the door.

Nachteilig bei dieser Vorgehensweise ist jedoch, daß in jedem Fall, wenn ein Entriegelungsbefehl zweimal gegeben wurde, die Fahrzeugscheibe abgesenkt wird. So kann es vorkommen, daß ein Fahrzeugbediener nur zufällig und unbeabsichtigt den zweimaligen Entriegelungsbefehl gibt und damit ein vollständiges Absenken der Scheibe einer Fahrzeugtür durchführt, ohne dass er dann in das Fahrzeug einsteigt oder auch nur in der unmittelbaren Nähe des Fahrzeuges ist.A disadvantage of this approach, however, is that in any case, when an unlock command was given twice, the vehicle window is lowered. Thus, it may happen that a vehicle operator gives only accidentally and unintentionally the two-time unlocking command and thus performs a complete lowering of the window of a vehicle door, without he then enters the vehicle or even in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle.

Überdies ist es bei rahmenlosen Türen, insbesondere bei Cabriofahrzeugen bekannt, die Scheibe beim Öffnen der Tür um nur wenige Zentimeter abzusenken, um so das Fenster aus seiner Dichtung zu fahren. Beim Schließen der Tür wird die Scheibe dann wieder hochverfahren, um sie gegen die Türdichtung fest anzudrücken.Moreover, it is known for frameless doors, especially in convertible vehicles, lower the disc when opening the door by only a few inches, so as to drive the window from its seal. When closing the door is the Then raise the disc again to press firmly against the door seal.

Die DE 196 12 065 A1 beschreibt eine Kraftfahrzeugtüre mit einer rahmenlosen Fensterscheibe, bei der ein automatisches Absenken der Fensterscheibe (für einen bequemeren Ein- und Ausstieg aus dem Fahrzeug) über einen im Fahrzeuginneren angeordneten zusätzlichen Drucktaster ermöglicht werden soll. Ein über den Drucktaster zu betätigendes Relais für die Freischaltung des automatischen Absenkens der Fensterscheibe wird dabei erst betriebsbereit geschaltet, wenn die Fahrzeugtüre geöffnet ist.The DE 196 12 065 A1 describes a motor vehicle door with a frameless window pane, in which an automatic lowering of the window pane (for a more convenient entry and exit from the vehicle) is to be made possible via an additional pushbutton arranged inside the vehicle. A via the push-button to be actuated relay for the activation of the automatic lowering of the window is thereby switched to ready only when the vehicle door is open.

Ferner ist aus der US 4,864,153 A ein Kraftfahrzeug mit elektrischen Fensterhebereinrichtungen bekannt, bei dem die Fenster durch die Betätigung von Tastern zu öffnen und zu verschließen sind oder die Fenster automatisch verschlossen werden, sobald der Verriegelungsknopf der Fahrzeugtüre niedergedrückt wird.Furthermore, from the US 4,864,153 A a motor vehicle with power windows, in which the windows are opened and closed by the actuation of buttons or the windows are automatically closed as soon as the locking button of the vehicle door is depressed.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat eine Weiterbildung des oben genannten Standes der Technik zur Aufgabe, wobei das System ein unbeabsichtigtes Offenstehen eines Fahrzeugfensters vermeiden soll.The present invention has a development of the above-mentioned prior art task, the system should avoid accidental opening of a vehicle window.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den Ansprüchen 1 und 4 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in claims 1 and 4.

Demgemäß ist es erfindungswesentlich, dass neben einem zweimaligen Entriegelungsbefehl die Fahrzeugtür auch wirklich geöffnet wird. Erst dann wird das Fenster der entsprechenden Tür vollständig abgesenkt, so dass ein erleichterter Einstieg in das Fahrzeug gegeben ist. Nachdem die Tür wieder geschlossen worden ist, wird die Scheibe der Fahrzeugtür dann wieder vollständig nach oben verfahren.Accordingly, it is essential to the invention that in addition to a two-time unlocking the vehicle door is really opened. Only then the window of the corresponding door is completely lowered, so that a facilitated entry into the vehicle is given. After the door has been closed again, the window of the vehicle door is then moved completely upwards again.

Gemäß einer vorzugsweisen Ausführungsform überwacht eine an sich bekannte Einklemmschutzvorrichtung den Schließvorgang der Scheibe nach dem Schließen der Fahrzeugtür.According to a preferred embodiment, a per se known anti-trap device monitors the closing operation of the disc after closing the vehicle door.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann der Entriegelungsbefehl über eine Funkfernbedingung oder über eine Befehlsstelle an der Fahrzeugtür erfolgen. Als Befehlstelle eignen sich beispielsweise herkömmliche Fahrzeugschlüssel, Funkschlüssel oder auch Fahrzeugschlüssel, die Signale in kodierter Form andersweitig abgeben können.According to a further advantageous embodiment, the unlocking command can be carried out via a remote radio condition or via a command point on the vehicle door. For example, conventional vehicle keys, radio keys or vehicle keys which can output signals in coded form in other ways are suitable as a command station.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist in den beiliegenden Zeichnungen dargestellt. Die Zeichnungen zeigen in

An embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The drawings show in
FIG. 1
a very simple embodiment of the present invention and
FIG. 2
a flow chart for a method according to the invention.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung umfaßt gemäß der Ausführungsform in Figur 1 einen elektrischen Fensterheber 10, der von einer Steuereinrichtung 12 beaufschlagt wird. Die Steuereinrichtung 12 kann als Modul in einem an sich bereits bekannten Steuergerät enthalten sein. Lediglich zur Beschreibung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist sie vorliegend separat dargestellt. Die Steuereinrichtung 12 umfaßt zwei Eingänge, über die Signale von einem Türkontaktschalter 14 und dem Empfänger einer Funkfernbedienung 16 eingehen. Über eine Fernsteuerung 18 kann dem Empfänger 16 ein Entriegelungssignal übermittelt werden, welches dieser an die Steuereinrichtung 12 weitergibt. Überdies erhält die Steuereinrichtung 12 von dem Türkontaktschalter 14 eine Information, ob die Fahrzeugtür geöffnet oder geschlossen ist.A device according to the invention comprises according to the embodiment in FIG. 1 an electric window 10, which acts on a control device 12 becomes. The control device 12 may be contained as a module in a control unit already known per se. For the sole purpose of describing the present invention, it is shown separately here. The controller 12 includes two inputs through which signals from a door contact switch 14 and the receiver of a radio remote control 16 are received. Via a remote control 18, an unlocking signal can be transmitted to the receiver 16, which transmits this to the control device 12. Moreover, the control device 12 receives information from the door contact switch 14 as to whether the vehicle door is open or closed.

Die Steuereinrichtung 12 ist nun so ausgebildet, dass der elektrische Fensterheber 10 zum vollständigen Absenken der Scheibe dann betrieben wird, wenn über die Fernbedingung 18 ein zweimaliger Entriegelungsbefehl abgegeben ist und gleichzeitig oder nachfolgend der Türkontaktschalter 14 signalisiert, dass die Tür geöffnet worden ist.The control device 12 is now designed so that the electric window 10 is operated to completely lower the disc when the Fernbedingung 18 a two-time unlocking command is issued and simultaneously or subsequently the door contact switch 14 signals that the door has been opened.

Mit dem vollständig abgesenkten Fenster ist sodann ein leichterer Einstieg in das Fahrzeug, insbesondere bei rahmenlosen Türen, gewährleistet.With the fully lowered window then easier access to the vehicle, especially in frameless doors, guaranteed.

Nach dem Schließen der Fahrzeugtür, was von dem Türkontaktschalter 14 an die Steuereinrichtung 12 signalisiert wird, wird dann die Scheibe wieder vollständig mit dem elektrischen Fensterheber 10 nach oben verfahrenAfter closing the vehicle door, which is signaled by the door contact switch 14 to the control device 12, then the disc is again completely moved with the power window 10 upwards

Nicht dargestellt ist vorliegend eine Einklemmschutzvorrichtung, welche an sich bekannt ist und den Schließvorgang der Scheibe überwacht. Die Einklemmschutzvorrichtung kann in der Steuereinrichtung 12 oder mit dem Fensterheber-Motor integriert sein.Not shown here is a anti-trap device, which is known per se and monitors the closing operation of the disc. The anti-trap device may be integrated in the control device 12 or with the window regulator motor.

Natürlich kann die vorliegende Erfindung auch anderweitig realisiert werden. Beispielsweise kann anstelle oder in Ergänzung zum Empfänger 16 auch eine Befehlsstelle an einer Fahrzeugtür verwendet werden. Eine solche Befehlsstelle kann ein herkömmliches, jedoch elektrisch überwachtes Schloss sein. Alternativ können auch codierte Schlüssel bzw. Codierstellen als Befehlstellen verwendet werden. Im übrigen kann man beispielsweise anstelle des Türschalters 14 auch eine Betätigung der Türhandhabe detektieren. Wesentlich bei der vorliegenden Erfindung ist lediglich, dass neben einem zweimaligen Entriegelungsbefehl auch das Öffnen und Schließen der Tür detektiert wird.Of course, the present invention may be otherwise realized. For example, instead of or in addition to the receiver 16, a command station on a vehicle door can also be used. Such an instruction location may be a conventional but electrically supervised lock. Alternatively, coded keys or coding points can also be used as command positions. Incidentally, for example, instead of the door switch 14 and an operation detect the door handle. Essential in the present invention is merely that in addition to a two-time unlock command and the opening and closing of the door is detected.

Dies geht auch aus dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Ablaufdiagramm hervor.This also goes from the in FIG. 2 shown flowchart.

Dort wird in dem Schritt S10 geprüft, ob ein zweimaliger Entriegelungsbefehl vorliegt. Ist dies nicht der Fall, so wird zurückverzweigt. Ist dies jedoch der Fall, so wird im Schritt S12 geprüft, ob die Fahrzeugtür geöffnet wird. ist dies nicht der Fall, so wird ebenfalls zurückverzweigt.There, it is checked in step S10 whether there is a two-time unlocking command. If this is not the case, then it is branched back. If this is the case, then it is checked in step S12 whether the vehicle door is opened. if this is not the case, then it is also branched back.

Ansonsten wird im Schritt S14 ein vollständiges Absenken des Fensters veranlaßt. Sodann wird fortwährend geprüft, ob die Tür auch wieder geschlossen wurde (Schritt S16). Ist dies nicht der Fall, so wird in einer Schleife zum Anfang von Schritt S16 zurückverzweigt. Wurde die Tür jedoch geschlossen (Ja), so wird im Schritt 18 ein vollständiges Schließen des Fensters veranlaßt.Otherwise, in step S14, a complete lowering of the window is caused. Then, it is continuously checked whether the door has been closed again (step S16). If this is not the case, the program branches back in a loop to the beginning of step S16. However, if the door has been closed (Yes), then in step 18 a complete closing of the window is initiated.

Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt insofern sicher, dass ein unbeabsichtigtes Offenstehen des Fensters möglichst verhindert wird.The present invention ensures that inadvertent opening of the window is prevented as far as possible.
