The DE29505673 U1 discloses a device for processing electrically measurable state variables in motor vehicles having a measured value recording unit and a separate evaluation unit, wherein the measured value recording unit and the evaluation unit are connected to one another by a cable. From the US 2010/0314521 For example, a vehicle interior mount is known to hold one or more objects. The DE 196 12 843 A1 discloses a housing with means for attachment to a mounting plate. The object of the invention is to provide a vehicle data recording device of the type mentioned above with a data memory, which data storage is on the one hand fixed and reliable in the vehicle data recording device, but on the other hand can also be easily removed from the device.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst mit einer Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsvorrichtung nach dem unabhängigen Anspruch 1. Die erfindungsgemäße Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsvorrichtung ist zur Anordnung und Verwendung in einem Kraftfahrzeug, insbesondere in einem Nutzkraftfahrzeug, vorgesehen. Bei dem Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerät kann es sich insbesondere um einen Tachographen oder um ein auch unter der Bezeichnung On-Board Recorder bekanntes Aufzeichnungsgerät in einem Kraftfahrzeug handeln. Das Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerät kann beispielsweise auch die Funktionen eines Mautgerätes umfassen. Kraftfahrzeuge, insbesondere auch Nutzkraftfahrzeuge, und in diesen angeordnete Geräte sind im Betrieb der Kraftfahrzeuge regelmäßig Schwingungen, insbesondere in Form von Vibrationen, ausgesetzt. Daher ist es bei der Erfindung von besonderem Vorteil, dass der Datenspeicher mit Hilfe der Halterung zuverlässig und sicher sowie fest getragen wird. Auch bei starken Verzögerungen, wie sie zum Beispiel bei einem scharfen Abbremsen des Kraftfahrzeugs auftreten können, wird der Datenspeicher sicher in der Halterung gehalten. Der Datenspeicher kann zum Beispiel zur Sicherung von mittels des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes aufgezeichneten Daten dienen. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn der Datenspeicher nicht nur von der Halterung lösbar ist, beispielsweise um ihn zur Datenweitergabe leichter mit einem anderen Gerät verbinden zu können, sondern wenn der Datenspeicher zudem auch von dem Verbindungskabel trennbar ist. Ist der Datenspeicher ferner ein transportabler Datenspeicher, so kann er in einfacher Weise von einem Benutzer des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes beispielsweise zur sicheren Verwahrung der auf dem Datenspeicher vorhandenen Daten oder zum Überspielen dieser Daten auf einen stationären Computer aus dem Kraftfahrzeug mitgenommen werden. Vorzugsweise ist zwischen Datenspeicher und Verbindungskabel eine das Verbindungskabel mit dem Datenspeicher verbindende normierte Schnittstelle vorgesehen. Für eine freizügige Verbindbarkeit des Datenspeichers mit anderen Geräten als dem Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerät, zum Beispiel mit stationären Computern, kann die normierte Schnittstelle insbesondere eine USB-Schnittstelle sein. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei dem Datenspeicher um einen sogenannten USB-Speicherstick. Die Außenwandung des Gehäuses des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes, in welcher die Geräteschnittstelle zum Anschluss des Datenspeichers vorgesehen ist, ist vorzugsweise eine einem Benutzer der Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsvorrichtung zugewandte Frontseite des Gehäuses. Vorzugsweise ist das Verbindungskabel mittels einer Steckverbindung mit der Geräteschnittstelle verbunden. Das Verbindungskabel könnte grundsätzlich unlösbar, das heißt nicht beschädigungsfrei lösbar, mit dem Datenspeicher verbunden sein; vorzugsweise ist aber der Datenspeicher mit dem Verbindungskabel mittels einer Steckverbindung, welche Steckverbindung vorzugsweise die oben genannte normierte Schnittstelle aufweist, verbunden. Von besonderem Vorteil ist bei der Erfindung ferner eine mechanische Entkoppelung von Geräteschnittstelle und Datenspeicher aufgrund des zwischen diesen angeordneten Verbindungskabels. So führen Schwingungen des Datenspeichers nicht zu einer mechanischen Belastung der Geräteschnittstelle.This object is achieved according to the invention with a vehicle data recording device according to independent claim 1. The vehicle data recording device according to the invention is intended for arrangement and use in a motor vehicle, in particular in a commercial vehicle. The vehicle data recording device may, in particular, be a tachograph or a recording device in a motor vehicle, also known as an on-board recorder. The vehicle data recording device may also include, for example, the functions of a toll device. Motor vehicles, in particular utility vehicles, and devices arranged in these devices are regularly subjected to vibrations, in particular in the form of vibrations, during operation of the motor vehicles. Therefore, it is particularly advantageous in the invention that the data storage by means of the holder is reliably and securely and firmly worn. Even with strong delays, as may occur, for example, in a sharp deceleration of the motor vehicle, the data storage is securely held in the holder. The data memory can serve, for example, for securing data recorded by means of the vehicle data recording device. It is particularly advantageous if the data storage is not only solvable from the holder, for example, to connect it to the data transfer easier with another device, but if the data storage is also separable from the connection cable. If the data storage device is also a portable data storage device, then it can easily be taken by a user of the vehicle data recording device for safekeeping the data present on the data storage device or for transferring this data to a stationary computer from the motor vehicle. Preferably, a standardized interface connecting the connection cable to the data memory is provided between the data memory and the connection cable. For a permissive connectivity of the data memory with devices other than the vehicle data recording device, for example, with stationary computers, the normalized interface can be in particular a USB interface. Preferably, the data memory is a so-called USB memory stick. The outer wall of the housing of the vehicle data recording device, in which the device interface is provided for connection of the data memory, is preferably a front of the housing facing a user of the vehicle data recording device. Preferably, the connection cable is connected by means of a plug connection with the device interface. The connection cable could basically be unsolvable, that is, not free of damage detachable connected to the data memory; Preferably, however, the data memory with the connecting cable by means of a plug connection, which connector preferably has the above-mentioned normalized interface connected. A particular advantage of the invention is also a mechanical decoupling of device interface and data storage due to the connection cable arranged between them. Thus vibrations of the data memory do not lead to a mechanical load on the device interface.

Für eine besonders einfache Entnehmbarkeit des Datenspeichers aus der Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsvorrichtung weist gemäß der Erfindung die Halterung zumindest ein den Datenspeicher klemmend tragendes Klemmelement auf. Besonders einfach im Aufbau und kostengünstig in der Herstellung kann das Gehäuse des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes sein, wenn gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung das Klemmelement eine eine Druckkraft auf den Datenspeicher ausübende Federlasche aufweist. Die Druckkraft ist dabei eine Klemmkraft für den Datenspeicher. Die Federlasche kann beispielsweise aus Metall oder aus einem Kunststoff bestehen.For a particularly simple removability of the data memory from the vehicle data recording device, according to the invention, the holder has at least one clamping element carrying the data memory in a clamping manner. Particularly simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture, the housing of the vehicle data recording device be, if, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the clamping element has a pressure force on the data storage exerting spring tab. The pressure is there a clamping force for the data memory. The spring clip can for example consist of metal or of a plastic.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das Klemmelement U-förmig ausgebildet, und der Datenspeicher ist zwischen den Schenkeln des U angeordnet. Damit weist die Halterung bei einfacher konstruktiver Ausgestaltung eine besonders hohe Funktionssicherheit auf. Die Schenkel des U klemmen den Datenspeicher zwischen sich ein.
Vorteilhaft noch weiter vereinfacht kann der Aufbau der Halterung werden, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Federlasche einen ersten Schenkel des U aufweist und wenn der zweite Schenkel des U von der Gehäuseaußenseite gebildet wird.
Insbesondere bei einer Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsvorrichtung in einem in unebenem Gelände eingesetzten Kraftfahrzeug, zum Beispiel einem Baustellenlastkraftwagen oder einem Geländelastkraftwagen, oder beispielsweise bei einer regelmäßig besonders starker Vibrationsbeanspruchung ausgesetzten Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsvorrichtung ist es sehr vorteilhaft, wenn gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Halterung ein ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Datenspeichers verhinderndes Sicherungselement aufweist. Das Sicherungselement kann zum Beispiel einen Klemmbügel oder eine Gummilasche aufweisen. Auch kann das Sicherungselement für ein besonders einfaches Öffnen und Schließen des Sicherungselementes beispielsweise einen sogenannten Klettverschluss aufweisen.
Der Schutz des Datenspeichers zum Beispiel auch bei einer starken Vibrations- oder Schwingungsbelastung der erfindungsgemäßen Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsvorrichtung ist vorteilhaft zusätzlich verbessert, wenn gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Halterung ein den Datenspeicher gegenüber dem Gehäuse abstützendes Dämpfungselement aufweist. Das Dämpfungselement kann zum Beispiel ein Polsterelement sein. Es kann einteilig oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Das Dämpfungselement kann beispielsweise an der dem Datenspeicher zugewandten Innenseite eines oder beider Schenkel des U des U-förmig ausgebildeten Klemmelementes angeordnet sein; alternativ oder zusätzlich kann das Dämpfungselement auch an der dem Datenspeicher zugewandten Innenseite der zwischen den beiden Schenkeln angeordneten Senke des U angeordnet sein.
Man könnte sich vorstellen, dass das Gehäuse des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes an einer Frontseite des Gehäuses die den Datenspeicher tragende Halterung aufweist. Jedoch wird vorteilhaft die Zugänglichkeit des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes und insbesondere von Bedienelementen an der Frontseite des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes nicht eingeschränkt, wenn gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung das Gehäuse eine einem Benutzer zugewandte Frontseite aufweist und wenn die Halterung an einer unter einem Winkel mit der Frontseite verbundenen Gehäuseaußenseite angeordnet ist. Bevorzugt ist das Gehäuse zumindest im wesentlichen quaderförmig ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist die Gehäuseaußenseite, an welcher die Halterung angeordnet ist, unter einem zumindest im wesentlichen rechten Winkel mit der Frontseite verbunden und liegt bezogen auf den Benutzer neben und hinter der Frontseite.
Einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung gemäß ist das Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerät ein Einzelgerät. Damit kann das Gehäuse die Halterung für den Datenspeicher in einfacher Weise an besonders gut zugänglicher Stelle aufweisen. Einzelgerät bedeutet, dass das Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerät kein Einbaugerät zum Einbau in eine Armaturentafel oder ein Cockpit des Kraftfahrzeugs ist; damit ist auch ein Einbaurahmen für eine solche Montage des Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerätes nicht erforderlich. Im Gegensatz zu einem Einbaugerät ist das Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerät als erfindungsgemäß weitergebildetes Einzelgerät vorzugsweise ein Aufbaugerät oder gegebenenfalls ein Anbau- oder Unterbaugerät. Als Aufbaugerät kann das Fahrzeugdatenaufzeichnungsgerät beispielsweise auf eine Armaturentafel des Kraftfahrzeugs aufgesetzt und dort montiert werden, als Unterbaugerät kann es zum Beispiel unter einem Dachhimmel einer Fahrerkabine oder eines Fahrgastraumes des Kraftfahrzeuges hängend montiert werden.According to the invention, the clamping element is U-shaped, and the data memory is arranged between the legs of the U. Thus, the holder has a simple design refinement on a particularly high reliability. The legs of the U clamp the data storage between them.
Advantageously even further simplified can be the structure of the holder, if, according to an embodiment of the invention, the spring tab has a first leg of the U and when the second leg of the U is formed by the housing outside.
In particular, in a vehicle data recording device in a motor vehicle used on uneven terrain, for example a construction site truck or a terrain truck, or for example regularly exposed to a particularly strong vibration stress vehicle data recording device, it is very advantageous if according to another embodiment of the invention, the holder an unintentional release of the data memory having preventive securing element. The securing element may, for example, have a clamping strap or a rubber strap. Also, the securing element for a particularly simple opening and closing of the securing element, for example, have a so-called hook and loop fastener.
The protection of the data memory, for example, even with a strong vibration or vibration load of the vehicle data recording device according to the invention is advantageously additionally improved if, according to another embodiment of the invention, the holder has a data storage relative to the housing supporting damping element. The damping element may be, for example, a cushioning element. It can be formed in one piece or multiple parts. The damping element may be arranged, for example, on the inside of the data memory facing one or both legs of the U of the U-shaped clamping element; Alternatively or additionally, the damping element may also be arranged on the inside of the drain of the U disposed between the two legs on the data memory.
One could imagine that the housing of the vehicle data recording device on a front side of the housing has the memory carrying the data storage. However, the accessibility of the vehicle data recording apparatus and in particular of operating elements on the front side of the vehicle data recording device is advantageously not restricted if, according to another embodiment of the invention, the housing has a front facing a user and if the holder is arranged at an outside of the housing connected at an angle to the front side , Preferably, the housing is at least substantially parallelepiped-shaped. Preferably, the housing outside, on which the holder is arranged, connected at an at least substantially right angle to the front and is based on the user next to and behind the front.
According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the vehicle data recording device is a single device. Thus, the housing may have the holder for the data storage in a simple manner in a particularly accessible place. Single device means that the vehicle data recorder is not a built-in device for installation in a dashboard or a cockpit of the motor vehicle; Thus, a mounting frame for such a mounting of the vehicle data recording device is not required. In contrast to a built-in device, the vehicle data recording device as a further developed according to the invention single device preferably a body or optionally a mounting or base unit. As a bodywork device, the vehicle data recording device can be placed, for example, on a dashboard of the motor vehicle and mounted there, as an underbody device, it can be mounted hanging, for example, under a headliner a cab or a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.
