Definitions

  • the invention relates to a read-out device for reading data from a data memory of a motor vehicle and to a system for reading data from a data memory of a motor vehicle.
  • VCI Vehicle Communication Interface
  • OBD connector On-board diagnostic connectors and jacks are hereafter abbreviated to OBD connector and OBD connector.
  • the data of many different sensors are recorded in motor vehicles. These can in particular be compared with desired values and, in the case of larger deviations of the measured values from these predetermined desired values, trigger error messages to the driver, for example by the lighting up of a small lamp.
  • desired values for example by the lighting up of a small lamp.
  • the vehicle has a so-called OBD socket.
  • OBD plug and socket as well as the space available for the OBD plug are standardized so that an OBD plug fits into the OBD sockets of all vehicles that meet the respective standard.
  • the OBD cable is typically fixed or pluggable connected to a so-called VCI. If the VCI is connected to the motor vehicle via the OBD cable, it can read out data from the data memory of the motor vehicle. It forwards them to an evaluation computer, a so-called host, which typically corresponds to a personal computer. This forwarding can be wired, fixed or pluggable, but also wirelessly via WLAN, Bluetooth or the like.
  • the necessary high-performance computational core must be integrated in a VCI in order to meet the real-time requirements from the point of view of metrological and protocol engineering.
  • an energy store in the form of a battery or a battery is conventionally provided.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a VCI and a system for reading data from the memory of a motor vehicle to develop so that it is easier and more flexible to handle and use, and also the manufacturing and investment costs are reduced.
  • the invention solves this problem by a generic VCI for reading data from a data memory of a motor vehicle, in which an OBD connector is provided for insertion into a dedicated OBD socket of the motor vehicle as part of the outer contour of the VCI and the VCI over at least a plug connection with an external additional module is connectable.
  • the conventionally existing wired OBD connector used to connect the VCI to the motor vehicle is a very frequently defective component. It therefore leads to high service and manufacturing costs for vehicle manufacturers.
  • the inventive solution of the problem it is possible, inter alia, to completely avoid this cable with OBD connector. As a result, a cost reduction of the overall system and the subsequent service costs is achieved and also eliminates a possible source of failure and error.
  • Add-on module Due to the fact that the VCI has at least one plug connection with an external one Add-on module is connectable, it is possible to make the VCI itself small and easy, and so improve the handling.
  • additional functions such as data transfer to the host, can be outsourced to the external add-on module.
  • a workshop can decide which data transmission technology it wants to use and only purchase the additional module required for it. This considerably simplifies handling for the end customer and significantly reduces the purchase price for the VCI.
  • future extensions need no space reservation within the VCI, since these can also be connected via an external additional module through the connector with the VCI.
  • the outer contour of the VCI has a maximum width of 53 mm, a maximum height of 28 mm and a maximum length of 132 mm. It has proved to be particularly advantageous if the outer contour of the VCI has a maximum width of 48 mm, a maximum height of 25 mm and a maximum length of 120 mm.
  • the SAE J1962 standard defines these dimensions as the minimum size for the space available for the OBD connector in front of the OBD socket of a motor vehicle. However, since these are absolute minimum sizes, it is sufficient for the vast majority of vehicles, if the outside dimensions of the VCI exceed the slightly larger dimensions defined above.
  • VCI For the vast majority of vehicles even such a slightly larger VCI fits easily in the space provided for the OBD connector, as in particular a handling margin for the plug inside the vehicle must be provided. By allowing the size of the VCI to be reduced so much that it fits into this industry-standard space, it is possible to connect VCI directly to the OBD socket in all vehicles that comply with that standard.
  • the at least one connector is advantageously a particular special, workshop suitable USB connector. This will give you the flexibility and versatility of the VCI significantly, since many different technical additional functions in the form of external add-on modules can be connected to the VCI.
  • the user is allowed to use a corresponding additional module depending on the application.
  • This allows the VCI to be extended by a specific function without affecting or changing the base hardware of the VCI.
  • the VCI has a very low weight and a small size, so that the transport costs and the environmental impact of global transport are significantly reduced.
  • the end user is protected against bad investments because he only has to acquire the necessary functions in the form of external additional modules.
  • functional enhancements in the field ie at the end user, can be carried out by simply inserting a further additional module into the VCI and do not have to be carried out professionally after being returned to the manufacturer.
  • the invention solves this problem by a system for reading data from a data memory of a motor vehicle with a VCl described above and at least one external additional module, which is connectable via at least one connector with the VCI.
  • the system comprises several external add-on modules.
  • the external additional modules can both different communication interfaces include, for example, UMTS, WLAN or Bluetooth transmitter and receiver for data transmission of the data read to the host computer; But it is just as possible to connect mass storage devices, such as hard disks or solid state data storage (for example, solid state disks). Also conceivable are vehicle-related external add-on modules which expand the function of the actual VCI hardware.
  • At least one of the external additional modules advantageously comprises a data transmission device, with which data can be transmitted to a data processing device or a data storage device. This ensures that the data read from the data memory of the motor vehicle can also be transmitted to the host computer. This can be done, for example, by a data transmission device being a cable, for example a USB or network cable.
  • the data transmission device comprises a radio transmitter with which data can be transmitted wirelessly, in particular via UMTS, WLAN or Bluetooth. All other wireless data transmission methods are of course possible.
  • an external add-on module is a data memory, in particular a hard disk.
  • data read from the data memory of the motor vehicle can be stored, even if no data processing device in the form of a host is currently available.
  • the at least one plug connection between the external additional module and the VCI advantageously has a mechanical interlock. This ensures that the external additional module can not be detached from the VCI by mechanical pull. This ensures safe operation of the system for reading the data from the data memory of a motor vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 shows a system for reading data from a data memory of a motor vehicle 2 according to the prior art.
  • the vehicle 2 has an OBD socket 4 into which an OBD plug 6 is inserted.
  • OBD socket 4 and OBD connector 6 and the space available for plugging in are specified and standardized in accordance with standard SAE J1962.
  • the OBD connector 6 is connected to a VCI 12.
  • the VCI 12 has an in FIG. 1 only as a box schematically illustrated internal extension interface 14, in which, for example, a data transmission device is plugged in the form of a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver. About this, the data read out from the vehicle 2 wirelessly to a data processing device, in. In FIG. 1 shown embodiment, a host computer 16, transmitted. The wireless transmission is in FIG. 1 indicated by a dashed line 18.
  • the data transfer technology to be used in the VCI 12 depends on the existing hardware in the host computer 16, which naturally varies from workshop to workshop.
  • each VCI 12 usually several data transmission components provided that allow different ways of data transmission, such as UMTS, WLAN or Bluetooth. This has the disadvantage that usually some of these components provided by the respective workshop are not used, because each workshop uses only a single way of data transmission. This results in bad investments and thus too high a price for the VCI 12.
  • a VCI 12 is thereby large, heavy and unwieldy.
  • FIG. 2 a system for reading data from a data memory of a motor vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Again, data from a motor vehicle 2 are read.
  • the motor vehicle has an OBD socket 4.
  • an OBD connector 6 is located directly on a VCI 12 and is part of the outer contour of VCls 12th This drops that in FIG. 1 shown cable 8 and the other connector 10 away. As a result, the expenditure on equipment is reduced, simplifies handling and excluded a possible source of error.
  • VCI 12 At the opposite end of the OBD connector 6 VCI 12 is a connector 20. This is in the in FIG. 2 shown embodiment in the form of a socket 22 which is located on the VCl 12, and a plug 24 is formed. About this connector 24, an external additional module 26 is connected to the VCI.
  • the external additional module 26 advantageously comprises a data transmission device. This may, for example, be a UMTS transmitter and receiver or a Bluetooth or WLAN transmitter and receiver. It is thus possible with the external additional module 26 to transmit the data read from the motor vehicle 2 from the VCI 12 to a host computer 16. Also in FIG. 2 this wireless transmission is indicated by a dashed line 18.
  • the external add-on module 26 can also be a data memory, for example in the form of a hard disk, and thus allow the caching of data read from the vehicle 2 data.
  • the VCI 12 can, unlike in FIG. 2 shown embodiment, also have a plurality of plug-in connections 20, via which various external additional modules 26 can be connected to the VCI.
  • multiple external add-on modules may be connected to an external hub that may be connected to the VCI 12 through a connector 20. This makes it possible, for example, also easy to connect additional functions for the VCI 12, without a new VCI 12 would have to be purchased, or the existing VCI 12 would have to be returned to the manufacturer for expert extension. This simplifies handling and greatly reduces the service effort and service costs.
  • the VCl 12 has external dimensions which are selected such that the VCI 12 fits into the space which has been left in front of the OBD socket 4 in accordance with the SAE J1962 standard in a motor vehicle 2.
  • the preferred dimensions are in particular a maximum width of 53 mm, more preferably a maximum of 48 mm, a height of 28 mm, more preferably a maximum of 25 mm, and a length of 132 mm, particularly preferably not more than 120 mm. This ensures that the VCI 12 fits into all motor vehicles 2 that meet the said standard.
