Definitions
- the invention relates to a display device for emission parameters of an internal combustion engine with a range of values shown in a line.
- a generic device is known.
- the measured values of a probe integrated in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle are reproduced by a display instrument, which can be designed as an analogue instrument in the form of a pointer representation in front of a scale.
- a display instrument which can be designed as an analogue instrument in the form of a pointer representation in front of a scale.
- an audible or visual signal is possible, whereby the driver is advised to exceed a threshold and asked to visit a workshop.
- the primary goal of this device is thus the information about degraded operating conditions, based on a current state representation.
- the invention has for its object to provide the driver better support for low-emission driving as possible.
- the generic device for displaying difference values relative to a Predefined value is, wherein the default value can be fallen below. This ensures that the driver receives a positive reinforcement in his efforts to achieve the lowest possible driving style.
- the default value may be, for example, the manufacturer's indication of the average emission gas level of the respective vehicle type. If the value falls below the specified value, then a difference value is displayed, which is located in a negative subarea of the value range - for example by a percentage representation, by what extent the specified value is undershot.
- the default value is provided as a fixed marking, which advantageously corresponds to the uppermost position on a line realized as a circle segment, according to the manner in which the value range representation is predominantly used in pointer instruments used in the automotive industry.
- the difference value is indicated by a location variable marker, which in one embodiment is formed by the tip of a pointer.
- This pointer can be realized as a real component or as an image on a graphic display.
- the location-variable marking is formed by a single element or by the interaction of a plurality of elements, whose optical properties are changed to effect the display function, such as flashing or color-changing LED, backlit LCD segments; in single representation, as bargraph etc.
- the range of values is provided with a scaling, as a result of which the displayed difference value can be detected numerically.
- Scaling can - be set during production of the device or be made changeable; the first variant is more cost-effective, in the second variant it is possible to switch between different types of representation, for example a percentage deviation from the standard value and an absolute value for the difference value (eg .: low emission in -n grams of CO2 per kilometer).
- a scaling can in principle not be provided or be provided for display in an operating mode of the display device.
- Scaling is not necessarily proportional, but may be stepwise or slidably non-proportional. This depends on the desired performance of the display device, as well as the nature of the default value. It is also possible to apply in each case different scalings for the positive and negative subregions of the value range.
- FIG. 1 shows a device according to a first embodiment of the invention, in which a hybrid form of two scaling types for the range of values is shown,
- FIG. 2 shows a bar graph embodiment instead of a pointer for the positionable marker
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment without scaling, in which the representation of the range of values and the display of the mobile marking is effected by the same elements.
- the scaling 15 is set up to display absolute values (in g / km). It comprises a first subarea 11 and a second subarea 12 - which in the present case have the same size - for displaying positive or negative values. At a separation point between these subareas, the default value 13 is identified as the average value (.Average ') arranged at the topmost position of the circle segment.
- the scaling is subdivided into a first zone 16 with a proportional course and a second zone 17 with a non-proportional course, which results in a total of a mixed form for the scaling.
- the difference value is determined by a value starting from the preset value and extending over approximately 95 ° counterclockwise.
- Gersinnuxnden bar graph displayed the end zone 24 forms the location-variable marker by the corresponding element 21 is the last of several adjacent, light-emitting LED in a row.
- the hatched elements 22 are shown here for clarity, but not visible in the shown state for lack of light emission in this embodiment.
- Fig. 3 combines range display and difference value display using the same elements by color change.
- a bar graph analogous to FIG. 2 is indicated by the fact that the color of the elements 30a forming it is different from the remaining elements 30b visible in each operating state in this embodiment. Again, the default value is located at the same location as in the other embodiments. To distinguish the first from the second subarea, plus and minus symbols are retained. In this embodiment, there is no scaling except for the implicit staging by the plurality of elements 30.
