Abstract

The method involves transmitting an electrical signal of a driver and of a co-driver by signal generators (3,4,17). Each generator controls the control member (16) for controlling the generator. The driver and co-driver signals are fed into the over-controlling device (5). In case the device receives the signal of the co-driver, an over-controlling of the co-driver signal over driver takes place. In case of over-controlling co-driver signal, the control of the control member (16) takes place. An independent claim is also included for a device for over-controlling of a vehicle in the driving school.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Übersteuerung bei einem Fahrzeug im Fahrschulbetrieb.The invention relates to a method and a device for overriding in a vehicle in driving school operation.

Für die Fahrerausbildung an einem Fahrzeug werden Ausbildungsfahrzeuge eingesetzt. Diese müssen zuvor mit einer speziellen Fahrschuleinrichtung ausgestattet werden. Zu diesem Zweck werden wichtige Bedienelemente, wie beispielsweise die Lenkung, das Gaspedal oder das Bremspedal für einen Beifahrer, d.h. in der Regel für einen Fahrlehrer, eingebaut. Die Fahrschuleinrichtung kann ebenfalls Übersteuerungseinheiten umfassen, welche die Übersteuerung wichtiger Bedienelemente leisten, so dass der Beifahrer in die Fahrzeugsteuerung eingreifen oder diese übernehmen kann.Training vehicles are used for driver training on a vehicle. These must first be equipped with a special driving school facility. For this purpose, important controls, such as the steering, the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal for a passenger, that is usually installed for a driving instructor. The driving school device may also comprise override units, which provide the override of important controls, so that the passenger can intervene in the vehicle control or take it over.

Die Erfindung findet insbesondere Einsatz an Fahrzeugen, welche ein elektromechanisches Gaspedal oder andere elektromechanische Bedienelemente (z. B. Lenkung oder Bremspedal) aufweisen. Beim elektromechanischen Gaspedal wird beispielsweise die Bewegung des Pedals nicht über ein Gestänge oder über mechanische Züge, sondern elektrisch an eine Motorsteuerung übertragen, welche mit dem Motor verbunden ist. Das Fahrzeug weist zu diesem Zweck ein Fahrer-Bedienelement mit einen Fahrer-Signalgeber, welcher elektrische Fahrer-Signale sendet, und ein Beifahrer-Bedienelement mit einem Beifahrer-Signalgeber, welcher elektrische Beifahrer-Signale sendet, auf. Die Signale der beiden Signalgeber werden einem Steuerungselement zugeführt, im Beispiel der Gasübersteuerung der Motorelektronik eines Antriebsmotors, und leisten die Steuerung des Steuerungselements.The invention finds particular application to vehicles which have an electromechanical accelerator pedal or other electromechanical operating elements (eg steering or brake pedal). In the case of the electromechanical accelerator pedal, for example, the movement of the pedal is not transmitted via a linkage or via mechanical cables, but electrically to a motor control which is connected to the motor. For this purpose, the vehicle has a driver control element with a driver signal transmitter, which transmits electrical driver signals, and a passenger control element with a passenger signal transmitter, which transmits electrical passenger signals. The signals of the two signal generators are supplied to a control element, in the example of gas override of the engine electronics of a drive motor, and provide the control of the control element.

Die Übersteuerung wichtiger Bedienfunktionen an einem Fahrschulfahrzeug wird bisher durch mechanische, pneumatische oder hydraulische Vorrichtungen mit direktem Zugriff auf die Bedienelemente des Fahrschülers vorgenommen. Nachteilig hieran ist der mechanische Verschleiß sowie die hohen räumlichen Anforderungen. Ferner ist eine aufwändige Anpassung des Fahrzeuges notwendig und es tritt ein erhöhter Aufwand durch die Installation von Zusatzaggregaten auf. Des Weiteren müssen die Bedienelemente des Fahrschülers eine ausreichende mechanische Stabilität aufweisen und mechanische Schäden führen zu hohen Kraftaufwendungen an den Bedienteilen.The override of important operating functions on a driving school vehicle has been made by mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic devices with direct access to the controls of the student. The disadvantage of this is the mechanical wear and the high spatial requirements. Furthermore, a complex adaptation of the vehicle is necessary and there is an increased effort through the installation of additional equipment. Furthermore, the operating elements of the driving pupil must have sufficient mechanical stability and mechanical damage leads to high force expenditures on the operating parts.

Elektrische Umschaltlösungen sehen eine Auftrennung der originalen Verbindungsleitungen zwischen dem originalen Fahrer-Signalgeber und dem Steuerungselement sowie ein Umschalten zwischen übersteuertem Fahrer-Signal und übersteuerndem Beifahrer-Signal vor. Hierbei treten allerdings Totzeiten und undefinierte Zustände während der Signalumschaltung auf. Des weiteren müssen die Leitungen von Rechnern überwacht werden, welche bei Signalfehlern in den Notbetrieb umschalten.
Bei der Umrüstung eines Fahrzeuges auf ein Fahrschulfahrzeug wird bei der elektrischen Umschaltlösung der originale Signalweg vom Signalgeber zum Steuerungselement aufgetrennt. Dies ist nachteilig, weil Montage-Fehler während der Umrüstung auftreten können.Electrical switching solutions provide a separation of the original connecting lines between the original driver signal generator and the control element and a switchover between overdriven driver signal and oversteering passenger signal. In this case, however, dead times and undefined states occur during the signal switching. Furthermore, the lines must be monitored by computers, which switch to signal errors in emergency mode.
When converting a vehicle to a driving school vehicle, the original signal path is separated from the signal generator to the control element in the electrical switching solution. This is disadvantageous because assembly errors can occur during the conversion.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, die beschriebenen Nachteile zu überwinden. Aufgabe ist ferner die Umrüstung eines Fahrzeug auf ein Fahrschulfahrzeug, bei welcher die beschriebenen Nachteile nicht auftreten.The object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages described. Another object is the conversion of a vehicle to a driving school vehicle, in which the disadvantages described do not occur.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe verfahrensmäßig mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und vorrichtungsmäßig mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 6. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The invention solves the problem procedurally with the features of claim 1 and device-wise with the features of claim 6. Advantageous further developments are described in the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Stellglied dazu verwendet, einen Signalgeber zu steuern. Dieser Signalgeber ist insbesondere der originale Signalgeber, welcher im nicht auf den Fahrschulbetrieb umgerüsteten Fahrzeug direkt an das Fahrer-Bedienelement angeschlossen ist. Das Stellglied übernimmt somit im umgerüsteten Fahrzeug die mechanische Funktion des Fahrer-Bedienelements. Bei dieser Ausführung kann insbesondere vermieden werden, dass der originale Signalweg vom originalen Signalgeber zum Steuerungselement aufgetrennt wird. Ferner werden die Fahrer-Signale und Beifahrer-Signale einer Übersteuerungseinheit zugeführt, welche, falls sie Beifahrer-Signale vom Beifahrer-Signalgeber empfängt, eine Übersteuerung der Beifahrer-Signale über die Fahrer-Signale leistet, so dass im Fall der Übersteuerung die Beifahrer-Signale die Steuerung des Stellglieds leisten.According to the invention, an actuator is used to control a signal generator. This signal generator is in particular the original signal generator, which is connected directly to the driver control element in the vehicle not converted to the driving school mode. The actuator thus takes over the mechanical function of the driver control element in the converted vehicle. In this embodiment, it can be avoided, in particular, that the original signal path is separated from the original signal generator to the control element. Further, the driver signals and passenger signals of an override unit which, if it receives passenger signals from the front passenger signal transmitter, provides an override of the passenger signals via the driver signals, so that in the case of override the passenger signals provide the control of the actuator.

Vorteilhafterweise weist die Übersteuerungseinheit zwei A/D-Wandler, einen Datenselektor, eine Auswertelogik und einen D/A-Wandler auf. Die beiden Signalgeber geben analoge Signale aus, welche mittels der A/D-Wandler in digitale Signale gewandelt werden, welche dem Datenselektor zugeführt werden. Das digitalisierte Beifahrer-Signal wird zudem der Auswertelogik zugeführt, welche die Steuerung des Datenselektors leistet. Das vom Datenselektor ausgewählte Signal wird mittels des D/A-Wandler in ein analoges Signal gewandelt, welches die Steuerung des Stellglieds leistet.Advantageously, the override unit has two A / D converters, a data selector, an evaluation logic and a D / A converter. The two signal transmitters output analog signals, which are converted into digital signals by means of the A / D converters, which are supplied to the data selector. The digitized passenger signal is also fed to the evaluation logic, which provides the control of the data selector. The signal selected by the data selector is converted by means of the D / A converter into an analog signal, which performs the control of the actuator.

Die vom D/A-Wandler analogisierten Signale können mittels eines Ausgangsverstärkers verstärkt werden.The signals analogized by the D / A converter can be amplified by means of an output amplifier.

Damit die Übersteuerungseinheit für eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugen und Motoren einsetzbar ist, kann der Verstärkungsgrad des Ausgangsverstärkers einstellbar ausgeführt ein.In order for the override unit to be used for a variety of different vehicles and engines, the gain of the output amplifier can be made adjustable.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens geeignet. Die Vorrichtung weist ein Stellglied, insbesondere einen Stellmotor, und eine Übersteuerungseinheit auf, welcher die Signale der Signalgeber zugeführt werden, und welche, falls sie Signale vom Beifahrer-Signalgeber empfängt, eine Übersteuerung der Beifahrer-Signale über die Fahrer-Signale leistet, so dass im Fall der Übersteuerung die Beifahrer-Signale die Steuerung des Stellglieds leisten.The device according to the invention is suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention. The device comprises an actuator, in particular a servomotor, and an override unit, to which the signals of the signal generator are supplied, and which, if it receives signals from the front passenger signal transmitter, an override of the passenger signals via the driver signals, so that in the case of override, the passenger signals provide control of the actuator.

Vorzugsweise weist die Übersteuerungseinheit zwei A/D-Wandler, einen Datenselektor, eine Auswertelogik und einen D/A-Wandler auf, wobei die A/D-Wandler die von den beiden Signalgebern gesendeten analogen Signale in digitale Signale wandeln, welche dem Datenselektor zugeführt werden, wobei die Auswertelogik, welcher das digitalisierte Beifahrer-Signal zugeführt wird, die Steuerung des Datenselektors leistet, wobei der Datenselektor ein Signal auswählt, und wobei der D/A-Wandler das ausgewählte Signal in ein analoges Signal wandelt, welches die Steuerung des Stellglieds leistet.Preferably, the override unit comprises two A / D converters, a data selector, an evaluation logic and a D / A converter, wherein the A / D converters convert the analog signals sent by the two signal generators into digital signals which are supplied to the data selector wherein the evaluation logic to which the digitized passenger signal is applied provides control of the data selector, wherein the data selector selects a signal, and wherein the D / A converter converts the selected signal into an analog signal which provides control of the actuator ,

Die Übersteuerungseinheit kann einen Ausgangsverstärker aufweisen, welcher die vom D/A-Wandler analogisierten Signale verstärkt.The override unit may comprise an output amplifier which amplifies the signals analogized by the D / A converter.

Bei der Umrüstung des Fahrzeugs auf ein Fahrschulfahrzeug werden neben dem Einbau eines Beifahrer-Bedienelements und eines zugehörigen Beifahrer-Signalgebers zwischen das Fahrer-Gaspedal und den originalen Signalgeber ein weiterer Signalgeber als neuer Signalgeber und eine an diesen angeschlossene Übersteuerungseinheit zwischengeschaltet, wobei der Beifahrer-Signalgeber ebenfalls an die Übersteuerungseinheit angeschlossen wird. Der originale Signalweg vom insbesondere originalen Signalgeber zum Steuerungselement wird nicht aufgetrennt und bleibt somit erhalten. Es werden ferner außer dem notwendigerweise zu installierenden Beifahrer-Bedienelement keine mechanischen Einbauten benötigt und mechanische Schäden durch zu hohe Übersteuerungskräfte werden vermieden. Es treten keine Anpassprobleme in der elektrischen Verdrahtung und keine Probleme zum Zeitpunkt eines Umschaltens auf.In the conversion of the vehicle to a driving school vehicle next to the installation of a passenger control element and an associated passenger signal transmitter between the driver's accelerator pedal and the original signal transmitter another signal transmitter interposed as a new signal generator and connected to this override unit, the passenger signal generator also connected to the override unit. The original signal path from the particular original signal generator to the control element is not separated and thus remains. Furthermore, apart from the passenger control element that is necessarily to be installed, no mechanical installations are required and mechanical damage due to excessive oversteer forces is avoided. There are no matching problems in the electrical wiring and no problems at the time of switching.

Im Folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung an Hand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert.In the following an embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Die Figur 1 zeigt ein Prinzipschaltbild der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Dargestellt ist das Fahrer-Gaspedal 1 als Fahrer-Bedienelement, an welches ein Potentiometer als Fahrer-Signalgeber 3 angeschlossen ist. Es ist ferner ein Beifahrer-Gaspedal 2 als Beifahrer-Bedienelement dargestellt, an welches ein Potentiometer als Beifahrer-Signalgeber 4 angeschlossen ist. Das Fahrzeug ist bereits für den Fahrschulbetrieb umgerüstet. (Im nicht umgerüsteten Zustand ist an das Fahrer-Gaspedal 1 direkt der originale Signalgeber 17 angeschlossen). Die Signale des originalen Signalgebers werden einem Steuerungselement, nämlich einer nicht dargestellten Motorelektronik eines Antriebsmotors zugeführt.
Des Weiteren ist eine Übersteuerungseinheit 5 dargestellt, welche einen ersten A/D-Wandler 6 und einen zweiten A/D-Wandler 7, einen Datenselektor 9, eine Auswertelogik 8 und einen D/A-Wandler 10 aufweist.FIG. 1 shows a schematic circuit diagram of the device according to the invention. Shown is the driver accelerator pedal 1 as a driver control element, to which a potentiometer is connected as a driver signal generator 3. It is also shown a passenger accelerator pedal 2 as a passenger control element, to which a potentiometer is connected as a passenger signal generator 4. The vehicle is already converted for driving school operation. (In the unconverted state, the original signal generator 17 is connected directly to the driver's accelerator pedal 1). The signals of the original signal generator are fed to a control element, namely an engine electronics, not shown, of a drive motor.
Furthermore, an override unit 5 is shown which has a first A / D converter 6 and a second A / D converter 7, a data selector 9, an evaluation logic 8 and a D / A converter 10.

Durch Betätigung des Fahrer-Gaspedals 1 werden mittels des Fahrer-Signalgebers 3 elektrische, analoge Fahrer-Signale erzeugt, welche von dem ersten A/D-Wandler 6 in digitale Signale gewandelt werden. Diese Signale werden dem Datenselektor 9 zugeführt.
Durch Betätigung des Beifahrer-Gaspedals 2 werden mittels des Beifahrer-Signalgebers 4 elektrische, analoge Beifahrer-Signale erzeugt, welche von dem zweiten A/D-Wandler 7 in digitale Signale gewandelt werden. Diese Signale werden ebenfalls dem Datenselektor 9 zugeführt. Ferner werden diese Signale der Auswertelogik 8 zugeführt, welche die Steuerung des Datenselektors 9 leistet.
Sobald die Auswertelogik 8 Beifahrer-Signale empfängt, sendet sie ein Signal an den Datenselektor 9, so dass dieser die Beifahrer-Signale auswählt und weiterleitet. Ansonsten werden vom Datenselektor 9 die Fahrer-Signale weitergeleitet. Es erfolgt somit an dieser Stelle die Übersteuerung der Beifahrer-Signale über die Fahrer-Signale.By actuating the driver's accelerator pedal 1, electrical, analog driver signals are generated by means of the driver signal generator 3, which signals are converted by the first A / D converter 6 into digital signals. These signals are supplied to the data selector 9.
By operating the passenger accelerator pedal 2, electrical passenger co-driver signals are generated by means of the co-driver signal generator 4, which signals are converted by the second A / D converter 7 into digital signals. These signals are also supplied to the data selector 9. Furthermore, these signals are supplied to the evaluation logic 8, which performs the control of the data selector 9.
As soon as the evaluation logic 8 receives co-driver signals, it sends a signal to the data selector 9 so that it selects and forwards the co-driver signals. Otherwise, the data selector 9 forwards the driver signals. There is thus at this point the override of the passenger signals via the driver signals.

Vom Datenselektor werden die Signale an den D/A-Wandler 10 weitergeleitet, welcher die digitalen Signale analogisiert. Diese analogen Signale werden von einem Ausgangsverstärker 11 verstärkt. Der Verstärkungsgrad ist durch die Spannungsanpassung 12 einstellbar. Es ist somit möglich, die Übersteuerungseinheit für verschiedene Motoren oder sonstige Steuerungselemente zu verwenden. Die Spannungsanpassung 12 ist durch Jumper realisiert.
Ein Spannungswächter 15 kontrolliert die Betriebsspannung und erteilt der Elektronik erst die Freigabe, wenn eine stabile Spannung, beispielsweise 5V, anliegt. Danach überwacht er weiterhin die Versorgungsspannung und deren Pegel.From the data selector, the signals are forwarded to the D / A converter 10, which analogizes the digital signals. These analog signals are amplified by an output amplifier 11. The gain is adjustable by the voltage adjustment 12. It is thus possible to use the override unit for various motors or other control elements. The voltage adjustment 12 is realized by jumpers.
A voltage monitor 15 controls the operating voltage and only gives the electronics permission when a stable voltage, for example 5V, is applied. Thereafter, it continues to monitor the supply voltage and its level.

Die Signale werden einer motorspezifischen Adaption 13 zugeführt, welche mit der Stellmotorelektronik 14 eines Stellmotors 16 verbunden ist. Der Stellmotor 16 steuert den originalen Signalgeber 17.
Falls beispielsweise der Fahrer das Fahrer-Gaspedal 1 betätigt und der Beifahrer das Beifahrer-Gaspedal 2 nicht betätigt, so wird der originale Signalgeber 17 auf die Weise angesteuert, als wenn er direkt am Fahrer-Gaspedal 1 angeschlossen wäre, d.h. wie im nicht umgerüsteten Zustand des Fahrzeugs.The signals are fed to a motor-specific adaptation 13, which is connected to the servomotor electronics 14 of a servomotor 16. The servomotor 16 controls the original signal generator 17th
For example, if the driver operates the driver accelerator pedal 1 and the passenger does not actuate the passenger accelerator pedal 2, the original signal generator 17 is actuated in the manner as if it were directly connected to the driver's accelerator pedal 1, ie as in the unconverted state of the vehicle.

Die Übersteuerungseinheit ist gekapselt in einem Aluminiumgehäuse ausgeführt.The override unit is encapsulated in an aluminum housing.
