Definitions

  • the invention relates to a temperature sensor with a temperature-sensitive sensor element and connecting elements for establishing an electrical connection to the sensor element and an arrangement for climate control of a motor vehicle interior with such a temperature sensor.
  • Various sensors for determining actual conditions are used in control and regulating devices for motor vehicle air conditioning systems. Examples are sensors for determining the interior temperature, the outside temperature and the outlet temperature of the air supplied to the interior, and a sun sensor.
  • the temperature sensor for the interior temperature is usually hidden in the control and regulating device. So that the interior temperature can nevertheless be measured correctly, a suction fan is used in such an arrangement, which sucks in air from the interior of the motor vehicle and guides it past the temperature sensor.
  • This arrangement has proven itself in principle in the past, however, for a safe function the running of the suction fan must be constantly monitored in order to be able to recognize its failure in time. Furthermore, the noise caused by the suction fan is perceived as annoying.
  • DE 100 56 694 C2 discloses the arrangement of a non-ventilated temperature sensor in a motor vehicle, the sensor sorsystem includes a thermopile element and a temperature reference element assigned to the thermopile element.
  • the thermopile element detects the thermal radiation emitted by one or more objects within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.
  • the measurement signals generated by the thermopile element and the temperature reference element are fed to a control device of an air conditioner of the motor vehicle.
  • the measurement signal of the temperature reference element is used as a reference signal for determining a temperature signal from the measurement value of the thermopile element.
  • the temperature reference element is thermally coupled to a heat-conducting element, which in turn is in close thermal contact with the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, so that the measurement signal of the temperature reference element is largely proportional to an interior temperature of the passenger compartment.
  • the device disclosed for dp, rt for determining the temperature in the interior of a vehicle is provided with a temperature sensor for arrangement behind a wall adjacent to the interior and a processing unit.
  • the processing unit receives the measurement signal from the temperature sensor and outputs an output signal representing the temperature in the interior of the vehicle.
  • the device has a heat conduction element for detecting the temperature of the air of the interior within its region close to the wall, the heat conduction element being in heat conduction contact with the temperature sensor and being provided for extension through an opening in the wall.
  • the unventilated temperature sensors for measuring the interior temperature in motor vehicles should also not be visible in the passenger compartment and are therefore hidden.
  • the problem of falsification of measured values arises, for example, from the fact that heat generated in the control device acts on the temperature sensor or, more generally speaking, the temperature in the control and regulating device in which the temperature sensor is arranged deviates from the interior temperature.
  • the first-mentioned object is achieved by a temperature sensor with the features of claim 1. Due to the design of the connection elements of the temperature-sensitive sensor element as conductor tracks applied to a flexible film, the connection elements have an extremely small cross-section in comparison to connection wires. On- Due to the extremely small cross-section, the conductor tracks have a high thermal resistance, so that the transfer of heat from a control and regulating device to the sensor element is kept very small.
  • a flexible film also has the advantage of being easy to install. Tolerances between the installation location of the temperature-sensitive sensor element and a rigid printed circuit board, on which the processing of the measurement signal of the temperature sensor and the generation of control or regulating signals of the climate control takes place, can be easily compensated.
  • the sensor element is applied as an unwired sensor element on the same flexible film as the connection elements and directly with
  • the sensor element contains both a temperature-dependent resistor and an infrared sensor.
  • the temperature-dependent resistance can be
  • the infrared sensor can in particular be designed as a semiconductor sensor chip.
  • the sensor element can be provided with a covering for protection.
  • the envelope be opaque in the visible spectral range and transparent in an infrared spectral range.
  • the infrared sensor can be used as a sun sensor for determining the solar radiation in the motor vehicle interior.
  • the conductor tracks are widened in an end region remote from the sensor element as contact points, in particular for a plug connection.
  • the cross section of the conductor tracks is thus increased in the end region in order to facilitate a connection to a rigid printed circuit board. Since this end region only affects a relatively small section of the conductor tracks in relation to the total length of the connection elements, such an increase in the cross section remains without a negative effect on the transmission of undesired heat to the sensor element.
  • the film is reinforced with the contact points in this end region, this makes it easier to establish an electrical connection to the rigid printed circuit board, in particular a plug connection.
  • the temperature sensor according to the invention can advantageously be used to generate a measured value representing the interior temperature of the motor vehicle in an arrangement for climate control of a motor vehicle interior.
  • the temperature sensor is placed in such a way that it projects into or through an opening in a wall delimiting the vehicle interior.
  • the arrangement is arranged in a dashboard or in a central sole arranged front panel with controls, wherein in the front panel or one of the controls there is an opening through or into which the temperature sensor of the temperature sensor protrudes, and the arrangement has a rigid printed circuit board with electronic components arranged behind the front panel, with which the connection elements of the temperature sensor are electrically connected.
  • the sensor element is fastened on a spacer element made of a poorly heat-conducting material, in particular plastic, at a distance from the rigid circuit board, the spacer element being supported on the rigid circuit board.
  • the spacer element is designed as a hollow body.
  • the spacer element itself has only a small material cross section and thus a high thermal conduction resistance. Due to the design of the spacer element as a hollow body ... there is air inside the spacer element, which is known to have poor thermal conductivity.
  • the spacer element can be designed as a hollow cylinder or hollow cone.
  • the cavity can also be subdivided, so that individual air-filled chambers result.
  • the spacer element can also have two or more partial areas which are only connected to one another at points. This results in areas of particularly small cross-section which hinder undesired heat conduction.
  • connection elements of the temperature sensor are electrically conductive with the rigid conductor plate connected, this represents a particularly simple installation option.
  • a further temperature sensor for determining one is on the rigid printed circuit board
  • Correction value for the measured interior temperature and a correction unit for determining the correction value and for correcting the measured interior temperature are available. In this way, any remaining heat input from the climate control device into the temperature sensor can be compensated.

  • Fig. 4 a schematic representation of an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle.
  • FIG. 4 shows the essential components of an air conditioning and ventilation system of a motor vehicle, in which the temperature sensor according to the invention and the arrangement according to the invention for climate control are used.
  • Fresh air flap 2 is sucked in fresh air from the surroundings of the vehicle into the motor vehicle itself.
  • the position of the fresh air flap 2 is dependent on a servomotor 13. speed controlled by electrical signals that are output by the combined control and operating device 7.
  • Air can be drawn in from the passenger compartment 15 of the motor vehicle via the recirculation flap 3, which is controlled via a servomotor 14 as a function of electrical signals from the control and operating device 7. Circulating and fresh air are conveyed into the passenger compartment 15 by the fan 4.

  • Conductor tracks 23 applied to the film 20 serve as connection elements for establishing an electrical connection to the temperature-dependent resistor 21 and the infrared sensor 22
  • the width and thickness of the conductor tracks 23 are extremely small in relation to their length. While the length of the conductor tracks is typically a few centimeters, the width is of the conductor tracks 23, for example, only about a few 10 ⁇ m. Due to the resulting extremely small cross section of the conductor tracks 23, heat transfer via the conductor tracks 23 to the temperature-dependent resistor 21 and the infrared sensor 22 is largely avoided.
  • the conductor tracks 23 are widened as contact points 25 in an end region remote from the temperature-dependent resistor 21.
  • the flexible film 20 is also reinforced in the end region 24. This can be achieved, for example, by applying one or more further, possibly thicker films to the end region 24.
  • the formation of the conductor tracks 23 in the end region 24 as widened contact points 25 and the reinforcement of the film 20 in the end region 24 make the end region 24 with the contact points 25 suitable for producing a plug connection.
  • a plastic sheath (not shown here) is applied to the temperature-dependent resistor 21 and the infrared sensor 22 for protection, which also acts as a blocking filter for daylight, but is transparent in an infrared spectral range. As a result, daylight is kept away from the infrared sensor 22. Furthermore, the flexible film 20 has also been reinforced in the area 28 in which the temperature-dependent resistor 21 and the infrared sensor 22 are arranged.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un capteur thermique servant avant tout à mesurer la température de l'habitacle dans un système de climatisation automobile. Ce capteur thermique (1) comprend un élément de détection (21) sensible à la température et des éléments de raccordement pour établir une liaison électrique avec l'élément de détection (21). L'invention est caractérisée en ce que ces éléments de raccordement se présentent sous forme de piste conductrice (23) montée sur un film souple (20). Les éléments de raccordement étant ainsi conçus, seule une très faible quantité de chaleur est transmise à l'élément de détection (21) par conduction thermique des éléments de raccordement, une altération des valeurs de mesures étant ainsi largement évitée.
