Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Betätigen eines elektrischen Schließsystems und / oder eines in der Tür, einer Klappe oder dergl. eingebauten Schlosses für Fahrzeuge, mit einer beweglichen Handhabe zum Öffnen eines zugehörigen Tür- oder Klappenschlosses und einem angeordneten Sensor, womit ein Steuerbefehl aktiviert werden kann.The present invention relates to a device for actuating an electric locking system and / or built in the door, a flap or the like. Lock for vehicles, with a movable handle for opening an associated door or flap lock and a sensor arranged, whereby a control command is activated can be.
Aus der
Nachteilig ist bei dieser Anordnung, daß die Kabel aufwändig von Hand verlegt werden müssen, zum einen bei der Herstellung der Handhaben an sich und zum anderen bei der Montage der beweglichen Handhabe am Kraftfahrzeug.A disadvantage of this arrangement that the cables must be laboriously laid by hand, on the one hand in the production of the handle itself and on the other hand in the assembly of the movable handle on the motor vehicle.
Auch in der
Am Ende weist das Kabel einen Stecker auf, der bei der Montage der Handhabe am Fahrzeug mit einer Gegenkupplung, die im Trägerteil gelagert ist, gekuppelt wird. Dabei ist das Kupplungselement schwenkbar am Trägerelement gelagert, um die Montage zu vereinfachen.Also in the
At the end, the cable has a plug, which is coupled during assembly of the handle on the vehicle with a counter-coupling, which is mounted in the carrier part. In this case, the coupling element is pivotally mounted on the carrier element in order to simplify the assembly.
Nachteilig ist dabei, daß das Trägerteil aufwändig konstruiert sein muß, um ein Wegklappen der Kupplung zu ermöglichen. Des Weiteren sind hohe Anforderungen an den Stecker und an die Kupplung in Bezug auf Schmutz- und Feuchtigkeitseinflüsse zu stellen, denn die Verbindung ist in der Tür, im sogenannten Feuchtraum, angeordnet. In diesem Bereich dringt Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz durch die Öffnungen im Türaußenblech, den Halteelementen und durch die darüberliegenden Dichtgummis der öffnungsfähigen Seitenscheiben. Der Konstruktionsaufwand bei Kupplungselementen und Steckern erhöhen zudem die Herstellkosten.
Da die Handhaben wie Zieh- oder Klappgriffe häufig bewegt werden, besteht zudem die Gefahr von Kabelbrüchen. In der Fahrzeugelektronik sind Kabelstecker immer kritische Elemente, in Bezug auf ihre Betriebssicherheit.The disadvantage here is that the support member must be elaborately constructed to allow folding away of the clutch. Furthermore, high demands are placed on the plug and on the coupling with regard to the effects of dirt and moisture, because the connection is arranged in the door, in the so-called moist space. In this area, moisture and dirt penetrate through the openings in the door outer panel, the retaining elements and the overlying rubber seals of the openable side windows. The design effort for coupling elements and connectors also increase the manufacturing costs.
Since the handles such as pull or folding handles are often moved, there is also a risk of cable breaks. In vehicle electronics, cable plugs are always critical elements in terms of their operational safety.
In der
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde Vorrichtungen zum Betätigen von elektrischen Schließsysteme zu realisieren, die eine einfache Konstruktion und Montage zur Kostenreduzierung ermöglichen. Zusätzlich sollen Ausfälle durch Kabelbrüche an Handhaben aufgrund bewegter Kabelelemente vermieden und die Betriebssicherheit entgegen den negativen Einflüssen von Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz erhöht werden.The present invention is therefore based on the object to realize devices for actuating electrical locking systems, which allow a simple design and installation to reduce costs. In addition, failures due to cable breaks to handle due to moving cable elements should be avoided and the reliability against the negative effects of moisture and dirt can be increased.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features listed in claim 1.
Die Vorrichtung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß in der Handhabe mindestens eine Sendeeinheit integriert ist und die dazugehörige Empfangseinheit im Fahrzeug integrierbar ist und die Sendeeinheit die Sendeenergie aus einem piezoelektrischen Element, das in der Handhabe angeordnet ist, bezieht.The device is characterized in that at least one transmitting unit is integrated in the handle and the associated receiving unit can be integrated in the vehicle and the transmitting unit, the transmission energy from a piezoelectric element which is arranged in the handle relates.
Durch die Betätigung des Piezo-Elementes an der Handhabe durch einen berechtigten Nutzer, wird elektrische Energie freigesetzt und dem Sendebaustein zugeführt, wodurch dieser Sender aktiviert wird und ein Signal an die Empfangseinheit sendet. Dabei wird der im Piezoelement erzeugte Strom als Sendeenergie und als Signal an sich verwendet. Die Energie zur Sendung des Signals bezieht der Sender einzig aus dem elektrischen Strom, der bei der Betätigung des Piezo-Elementes erzeugt wird. Die dabei erzeugte relativ geringe elektrische Ladung reicht dazu aus.
Dadurch sind keine Kabelverbindungen zur Signalübertragung und auch Energieversorgung der Sendeeinheit zwischen der beweglichen Handhabe und den anzusteuernden Schlössern oder der zentralen Fahrzeugsteuereinheit bzw. dem Fahrzeug notwendig. So fallen auch jedwede Kabelverbindungsteile, wie Steckerelemente, in die Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz eindringen kann, weg, wodurch die Materialkosten und Einbaukosten gemindert werden. Der Einbauaufwand in das Fahrzeug verringert sich enorm, da kein Kabel mehr von Hand durch Türöffnungen gezogen werden muß. Des weiteren wird ein Ausfall der Handhabe wegen beschädigtem Kabel oder defekten Steckerkupplungen vermieden.
Durch die Verwendung eines piezoelektrischen Elementes als Energieträger, werden keine anderweitigen Energiespeicher benötigt.By actuating the piezoelectric element on the handle by an authorized user, electrical energy is released and supplied to the transmission module, whereby this transmitter is activated and sends a signal to the receiving unit. In this case, the current generated in the piezoelectric element is used as transmission energy and as a signal in itself. The energy for the transmission of the signal, the transmitter obtains only from the electric current generated when the piezo element is actuated. The resulting relatively low electrical charge is sufficient.
As a result, no cable connections for signal transmission and energy supply of the transmitting unit between the movable handle and the locks to be controlled or the central vehicle control unit or the vehicle are necessary. Thus, any cable connection parts, such as plug elements, into which moisture and dirt can penetrate, also fall away, whereby the material costs and installation costs are reduced. The installation effort into the vehicle is reduced enormously, since no more cables must be pulled by hand through door openings. Furthermore, a failure of the handle is avoided because of damaged cable or defective plug couplings.
By using a piezoelectric element as an energy source, no other energy storage are needed.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß die Empfangseinheit im Träger der zugehörigen Handhabe angeordnet ist.
Dadurch ist der Kommunikationsweg sehr kurz gehalten und es kann mit geringsten Sendeleistungen oder einfachen Sendemitteln gearbeitet werden. Der Energiebedarf des Senders wird dadurch minimal.
Durch diese Anordnung bildet der Träger zudem mit dem Empfänger eine ideale Baueinheit zum Einbau in ein Fahrzeug. Da die üblicherweise verwendeten Griffträger Kunststoffkonstruktionen sind, kann der Empfänger einfach integriert werden.It is preferably provided that the receiving unit is arranged in the carrier of the associated handle.
As a result, the communication is kept very short and it can be worked with the lowest transmission power or simple means of transmission. The energy requirement of the transmitter is thereby minimal.
This arrangement also makes the carrier an ideal one with the receiver Assembly unit for installation in a vehicle. Since the commonly used handle carriers are plastic structures, the receiver can be easily integrated.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß die Kommunikation der Sende- und Empfangseinheit auf Funkbasis, vorzugsweise im GHz-Bereich in Bluetooth-Technik erfolgt.
Dadurch ist eine einfache Sender-Empfängerkommuniktion mit hoher Geschwindigkeit für den Nahbereich gegeben, so daß eine Betätigungsauftrag an ein Schloß in Millisek. erfolgen kann. Eine derartige Anordnung ermöglicht zudem die Ansteuerung mehrerer Empfänger im Fahrzeug, bei niedrigstem Energieverbrauch.It is preferably provided that the communication of the transmitting and receiving unit takes place on a radio base, preferably in the GHz range in Bluetooth technology.
As a result, a simple transmitter-receiver communication is given at high speed for the near range, so that an actuating order to a lock in millisec. can be done. Such an arrangement also allows the control of multiple receivers in the vehicle, with the lowest energy consumption.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Kommunikation der Sende- und Empfangseinheiten über Infrarot-Sende- und Empfangseinheiten realisiert wird.A further advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the communication of the transmitting and receiving units via infrared transmitting and receiving units is realized.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausbildung wird die Kommunikation der Sende- und Empfangseinheit auf Ultraschallbasis realisiert.In a further advantageous embodiment, the communication of the transmitting and receiving unit is realized on ultrasound basis.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß mindestens ein Piezo-Element auf der zur Außenfläche der Tür oder Klappe zugewandten Seite der Handhabe angeordnet ist.It is preferably provided that at least one piezoelectric element is arranged on the side facing the outer surface of the door or flap side of the handle.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß mindestens ein Piezo-Element auf der zur Außenfläche der Tür oder Klappe abgewandten Seite der Handhabe angeordnet ist.It is preferably provided that at least one piezoelectric element is arranged on the side facing away from the outer surface of the door or flap side of the handle.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Sensor ein piezoelektrisches Element, so daß der Sensor zum einen zur Signalerzeugung dient und gleichzeitig als Energieerzeuger für die Sendeeinheit dienen kann.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the sensor is a piezoelectric element, so that the sensor serves for a signal generation and at the same time can serve as an energy generator for the transmitting unit.
Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß der Drucksensor als piezoelektrischer Lack auf der Handhabe aufgebracht ist. Dadurch kann das Piezoelement problemlos an jede Griffgeometrie angepaßt werden. Über die Flächengröße kann die Energiemenge eingestellt werden.It is preferably provided that the pressure sensor is applied as a piezoelectric paint on the handle. As a result, the piezoelectric element can be easily adapted to any handle geometry. About the area size, the amount of energy be set.
Vorteilhafterweise ist diese Vorrichtung an einem Schwenkgriff oder einer Druckhandhabe integriert.Advantageously, this device is integrated on a pivoting handle or a pressure handle.
Weitere Maßnahmen und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen und den Zeichnungen.Further measures and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments and the drawings.

In
Die Handhabe (6) weist Sensoren (7) auf, die durch Betätigung ein elektrisches Signal auslösen, die zu einer Steuereinheit (8) oder den elektrischen Schlössern (4) geleitet werden. Die Sensoren können Schaltelemente sein. Dort werden entsprechend Funktionen ausgelöst, wie z.B. Start der Identifizierungsabfrage zwischen einer Sende- und Empfangseinheit (9) und einem vom Benutzer mitgeführten ID-Geber, elektrisches Öffnen des Schlosses und damit der Tür (2), das automatische Schließen des gesamten Schließsystems (Zentralverriegelung) beim Verlassen des Fahrzeugs (1) oder Aktivieren der Double-Lock-Funktion, d.h. daß das Fahrzeug im abgeschlossenen Zustand auch nicht von innen geöffnet werden kann.
Ab dem Träger (5) des Türgriffes (3) werden die Signale über Kabel (10) an das Steuergerät (8) oder das Türschloß (4) übertragen. An der Heckklappe (11) ist auch ein Griff (3) mit entsprechendem Träger (5) und elektrischem Schloß (4) und Handhabe (6) vorgesehen.
In
In der Handhabe (6) sind zwei Drucksensoren (7, 17) auf piezoelektrischer Basis integriert, dabei sind diese Piezo-Elemente in Ausnehmungen (19,20) der Handhabe (6) eingesetzt.
Des weiteren befindet sich in der Handhabe (6) ein Sendemodul (13), das einen Modulator und eine Antenne umfaßt, um ein ausgelöstes Signal in ein sendefähiges Signal zu wandeln und zu senden. In diesem Fall wird das ausgelöste Signal per Funk in Bluetooth-Technik ausgesendet, wobei die Frequenz im Bereich von 1 bis 3 GHz liegt.
Im Griffträger (5) ist das Empfangsmodul (10) integriert.
Im Fall der Betätigung des Türgriffs (3) durch einen Benutzer wird durch die Hand des Benutzers Druck auf das Piezoelement (7,17) ausgeübt und ein Strom fließt, der das Sendemodul (13) aktiviert, so daß ein Funksignal gesendet wird. Das gesendete Signal wird von der Empfangseinheit (14) empfangen, in ein elektrisches Signal rückmoduliert und über eine Signalleitung/Kabel (10) zur zentralen Steuereinheit (8) oder direkt zum Schloß (4) gesendet, wonach eine Betätigung eines zugehörigen Schlosses (4) oder der angesprochenen Schlösser (4) erfolgt.
Das von der Sendeeinheit (13) gesendete Signal kann von mehreren Empfangseinheiten (14), die im Fahrzeug an verschiedenen Stellen integriert sein können, empfangen werden, um gleichzeitig an mehreren Stellen Betätigungen von Schlössern oder anderen Bauteilen zu realisieren. So kann das gesendete Signal von sämtlichen am Fahrzeug angeordneten Empfangseinheiten (14) zur Aktivierung einer Zentralverriegelungsfunktion empfangen werden oder aber auch nur von bestimmten Empfangseinheiten (14) im Fahrzeug (1), z.B. an Türinnengriffen zur Aktivierung deren Entkoppelung in der Double-Lock-Funktion.
Es ist auch denkbar, daß das von der Sendeeinheit ( 13) gesendete Signal von der zentralen Sende- und Empfangseinheit (9), die u.a. die Kommunikation mit dem ID-Geber herstellt, empfangen und von dort umgewandelt an die Steuereinheit (8) geleitet wird.
In
Die Handhaben können in allen Fällen auch als Klappgriffe oder Druckhandhaben, wie sie an Kofferraumdeckeln oder Innenraumklappen und Handschuhkästen Anwendung finden, ausgeführt sein.
Die Ausführung des Piezoelements ist zudem als piezoelektrischer Lack denkbar, der auf die Oberfläche der Handhabe aufgebracht wird. Dadurch können Aussparungen (19,20) in der Handhabe (6) vermieden werden.
Diese Anordnungen haben allesamt den Vorteil, daß keine elektrischen Leitungen von beweglichen Handhaben (6) zum Fahrzeug verlegt sein müssen. Durch die Verwendung von piezoelektrischen Elementen (7,17,21) wird die Handhabe (6) zu einem autarkem System, wobei auch auf Energiespeicher, wie Batterien, verzichtet werden kann.In
The handle (6) has sensors (7) which trigger an electrical signal by operation, which are passed to a control unit (8) or the electric locks (4). The sensors can be switching elements. There corresponding functions are triggered, such as start of the identification query between a transmitting and receiving unit (9) and a user-led ID transmitter, electrical opening of the lock and thus the door (2), the automatic closing of the entire locking system (central locking) when leaving the vehicle (1) or activating the double-lock function, ie that the vehicle in the closed state can not be opened from the inside.
From the carrier (5) of the door handle (3), the signals via cable (10) to the control unit (8) or the door lock (4) are transmitted. On the tailgate (11) and a handle (3) with a corresponding carrier (5) and electrical lock (4) and handle (6) is provided.
In
In the handle (6) two pressure sensors (7, 17) are integrated on a piezoelectric base, while these piezo elements in recesses (19,20) of the handle (6) are used.
Furthermore, located in the handle (6) a transmission module (13) comprising a modulator and an antenna to a triggered signal in a transceiver Signal to convert and send. In this case, the triggered signal is transmitted by radio in Bluetooth technology, the frequency is in the range of 1 to 3 GHz.
In the handle support (5), the receiving module (10) is integrated.
In the case of operation of the door handle (3) by a user, pressure is applied to the piezo element (7, 17) by the user's hand, and a current flows, which activates the transmission module (13) so that a radio signal is transmitted. The transmitted signal is received by the receiving unit (14), modulated back into an electrical signal and sent via a signal line / cable (10) to the central control unit (8) or directly to the lock (4), followed by actuation of an associated lock (4). or the mentioned locks (4) takes place.
The signal transmitted by the transmitting unit (13) can be received by a plurality of receiving units (14), which may be integrated in the vehicle at different locations, in order to simultaneously realize actuations of locks or other components in several places. Thus, the transmitted signal from all arranged on the vehicle receiving units (14) for activating a central locking function can be received or even only from certain receiving units (14) in the vehicle (1), for example, on door handles to activate their decoupling in the double-lock function ,
It is also conceivable that the signal transmitted by the transmitting unit (13) is received by the central transmitting and receiving unit (9), which among other things establishes the communication with the ID transmitter, and is converted therefrom to the control unit (8) ,
In
The handles can also be used as folding handles or pressure handles in all cases, such as on trunk lids or interior flaps and glove boxes Find application to be executed.
The design of the piezoelectric element is also conceivable as a piezoelectric paint, which is applied to the surface of the handle. As a result, recesses (19,20) in the handle (6) can be avoided.
These arrangements all have the advantage that no electrical cables from moving handles (6) must be routed to the vehicle. By the use of piezoelectric elements (7,17,21), the handle (6) to a self-sufficient system, which can be dispensed with energy storage, such as batteries.
Die Anwendung dieser System ist bei allen Arten von Türgriffen (2) mit ihren Handhaben (6) denkbar, insbesondere bei Schwenkgriffen von Türen und Druckhandhaben an Außen- und Innenklappen, wie Heckklappen und Handschuhkastenklappen. Zu den Schwenkhandhaben zählen Zieh- und Klappgriffe, als auch kombinierte Zieh-Klappgriffe.
Je nach Anzahl der geforderten Signale sind an der Handhabe eine Vielzahl von Sensorelemente mit zugehörigen Piezo-Elementen installiert. Diese können an verschiedensten Orten angebracht sein, wie an der Front-, Ober- und/oder Unterseite der Handhabe (6).
In einer alternativen Ausführung ist an der Handhabe zur Signalauslösung mindestens ein Sensor (7) integriert, sowie mindestens ein zusätzliches Piezoelement, das lediglich zur Aktivierung der Sendeeinheit (13) aktiviert werden muß. Dies kann notwendig sein, wenn große Energien zur Signalübertragung benötigt werden. In diesem Fall sind Signalstrom und Energiestrom in Gegensatz zu den vorher beschriebenen Beispielen nicht identisch.The application of this system is in all types of door handles (2) with their handles (6) conceivable, especially for swivel handles of doors and print handling on exterior and interior flaps, such as tailgates and glove box flaps. The swivel handles include pull and folding handles, as well as combined pull-folding handles.
Depending on the number of required signals, a plurality of sensor elements with associated piezo elements are installed on the handle. These can be attached to a variety of locations, such as at the front, top and / or bottom of the handle (6).
In an alternative embodiment, at least one sensor (7) is integrated on the handle for triggering the signal, as well as at least one additional piezoelectric element which only has to be activated to activate the transmitting unit (13). This may be necessary when large energies are needed for signal transmission. In this case, signal current and energy flow are not identical in contrast to the previously described examples.
