Definitions
- the invention is based on an arrangement for side impact sensing according to the type of the independent claim.
- the arrangement according to the invention for side impact sensing with the features of the independent claim has the advantage that the temperature sensor and the acceleration sensor are combined in one structural unit. This reduces interfaces, sensor housings, cable harnesses and assembly costs.
- a device is here understood to mean, for example, be closed by a housing, wherein the components are not connected to each other by long cables •.
- the arrangement has a processor for evaluating at least one of the sensor signals, so that the sensor used as a plausibility sensor, that is to say either the acceleration sensor or the temperature sensor, is already checked in the arrangement according to the invention as to whether the
- Plausibility condition i.e. a threshold value
- the result of this evaluation is then transmitted to the control unit, which then compares the result of the side impact sensor with the plausibility sensor.
- an interface module of the arrangement according to the invention forms a multiplex of the sensor values. This can be a frequency or time division multiplex. However, even if the arrangement according to the invention itself evaluates the sensor values of the plausibility sensor, the interface module forms a multiplex from the result of this evaluation and the sensor values of the side impact sensor.
- the arrangement according to the invention has a common housing for the Has temperature sensor and the acceleration sensor. Both sensors are preferably produced by means of micromechanics and can even be arranged on the same substrate.
- FIG. 1 shows a first block diagram of two arrangements according to the invention which are connected to a control unit and
- FIG. 2 shows a second block diagram of the arrangement according to the invention.
- Side impact sensors are increasingly being used in motor vehicles to sense a side impact and then to use appropriate restraint devices. These sensors for side-impact sensing are used in particular, offset from the central control unit, which is placed on the tunnel of the vehicle, in side parts or on side parts of the motor vehicle. This includes a cavity in the side section, a seat cross member, a sill, the B-pillar or the door. The sensor signals are then transmitted to the control unit by means of a digital interface in order to be processed there directly.
- a temperature sensor for side impact sensing is now combined with an acceleration sensor for side impact sensing in an arrangement that represents a structural unit. This saves cable effort, housing effort and effort on interface modules, because now these two sensors can share cables, an interface module and housing.
- the sensors are usually manufactured using micromechanics, and it is also possible to produce different sensor types, such as the temperature sensor and the acceleration sensor, on a common substrate.
- Remote sensors are connected to the central control unit on the tunnel via a two-wire line. Furthermore, a so-called powerline transmission is carried out here, i.e. The control unit supplies the remote sensors with electrical energy via this two-wire line, while the sensors modulate this electrical energy for data transmission and these modulation signals are then received by the control unit.
- FIG. 1 shows a configuration as it can be provided in a motor vehicle for a left and right side airbag.
- a central control device 1 without a plausibility sensor is arranged on a vehicle tunnel.
- the control unit 1 is connected to a sensor arrangement 2 via a first data input and to a sensor arrangement 3 via a second data input.
- the sensor arrangement 2 is installed in a side part on the left side of the vehicle, while the sensor arrangement 3 is arranged on the right side of the vehicle.
- the arrangements 2 and 3 are each in a side part which is designed as a cavity. Both sensor arrangements 2 and 3 have both a temperature and one Accelerometer on. If there is a side impact, the side part is pressed in and the air in the hollow body in which the sensor arrangements 2 and 3 are located is compressed. This leads to an adiabatic pressure rise and an accompanying adiabatic temperature rise. At the same time, the side impact leads to acceleration in the transverse direction.
- Both the temperature rise as well as the acceleration in the transverse direction of the acceleration sensor are 'detected by the temperature sensor or by ,,.
- These respective sensor values are either transmitted directly to the control unit 1, or the sensor values of the plausibility sensor, i.e. either the temperature sensor or the acceleration sensor, are already evaluated in relation to a threshold value in the arrangement 2 or 3 according to the invention by means of a processor or a dedicated hardware module. Only this result is then transmitted to the central device 1.
- the central device 1 then calculates with the sensor, which is not considered
- Plausibility sensor uses the triggering algorithm and checks whether the plausibility sensor also indicates a side impact, if this is the result of the triggering algorithm.
- the restraint means which are not shown here, are actuated by the central device 1 in order to trigger them and to protect the vehicle occupants accordingly.
- FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the arrangement according to the invention.
- the arrangement 4 according to the invention is designed as a structural unit with a housing.
- An acceleration sensor 5 with a measuring amplifier is connected to an analog / digital converter 7, which digitizes the acceleration values and transmits them to an interface module 9.
- a temperature sensor 6 with a connected measuring amplifier is connected to an analog / digital converter 8, which also digitizes the temperature signals and also transmits them to the interface module 9. If the sensor values are transmitted directly to control unit 1, then interface module 9 forms a multiplex from the digitized acceleration and temperature signals, that is to say either a time or frequency multiplex.
- the interface module 9 has a processor unit which compares the temperature signals of the temperature sensor 5 with a predetermined threshold value, which is stored in the interface module 9. If the temperature signals are above this threshold value, then the plausibility sensor 5 indicates that a side impact has been detected. This result is then transmitted from the interface module 9 to the central device 1.
- the acceleration sensor 6 is used here as the side impact sensor and the
- Acceleration sensor values are transmitted directly to the central device 1. But here too, the interface module 9 forms a multiplex from the result of the plausibility check of the temperature signals and the acceleration values.
- the acceleration sensor 6 can also be used as a plausibility sensor. Then the acceleration values are compared by the interface module 9 with a predetermined threshold value and only if this threshold value is exceeded is a side impact detected. In this case, the temperature signals from the temperature sensor 5 are transmitted to the control unit 1 for calculating the triggering algorithm.
