Die Erfindung betrifft eine Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein bewegliches Teil eines Kraftfahrzeuges, insbesondere eines Türaußengriffes.The invention relates to an actuating device for a movable part of a motor vehicle, in particular an outside door handle.
In der
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug derart weiterzubilden, wodurch die Funktionalität der Gesamtanordnung erweitert wird. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird eine Betätigungsvorrichtung mit sämtlichen Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 vorgeschlagen. In den abhängigen Ansprüchen sind bevorzugte Weiterbildungen ausgeführt.It is an object of the present invention to develop an actuating device for a motor vehicle in such a way, whereby the functionality of the overall arrangement is extended. To solve this problem, an actuating device with all the features of
Dazu ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein bewegliches Teil eines Kraftfahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Türaußengriffes, mit einem bewegbaren Träger, der durch einen Antrieb zwischen einer ersten Position, bei der der Träger innerhalb des Fahrzeuges eingefahren ist, und einer zweiten Position bewegbar ist, bei der der Träger aus dem Kraftfahrzeug herausragt, wobei am Träger eine Kamera zur Bilderfassung eines Außenbereiches des Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet ist, der Antrieb einen Hebelmechanismus mit zumindest einem derartigen Kraftaufnahmeelement aufweist, das eine auf den Träger vom Außenbereich wirkende Kraft zuverlässig aufnehmbar ist, so dass der Träger in seiner zweiten Position als manuelles Betätigungselement für das bewegliche Teil dient.For this purpose, the invention provides that the actuating device for a movable part of a motor vehicle, in particular an outside door handle, with a movable support which is movable by a drive between a first position in which the carrier is retracted inside the vehicle, and a second position, wherein the carrier protrudes from the motor vehicle, wherein on the carrier a camera for image capture of an outer region of the motor vehicle is arranged, the drive has a lever mechanism with at least one such force receiving element, which is reliably absorbable on the carrier from the outside force, so that the Carrier in its second position serves as a manual actuator for the movable part.
Durch die Integration der Kamera innerhalb der Betätigungsvorrichtung kann zum einen der Bauraum innerhalb des Kraftfahrzeuges eingespart werden. Darüber hinaus verringert sich der Aufwand während der Montage, da lediglich in einem Schritt sowohl die Kamera als auch das Betätigungselement in Form des Trägers am beweglichen Teil des Kraftfahrzeuges durch den Monteur befestigt werden kann. Der Träger hat gemäß der Erfindung mehrere Aufgaben und Funktionen. Zum einen transportiert der Träger die Kamera in die jeweilige Position, um eine zufriedenstellende Bilderfassung des Außenbereiches des Kraftfahrzeuges sicherzustellen. Zudem schützt der Träger die Kamera vor Umwelteinflüssen, wie Hitze, Feuchtigkeit, Staub etc.. Dieser Schutz kann sowohl in der ersten Position als auch in der zweiten Position des Trägers verwirklicht werden. Ebenfalls verhindert der Träger wirkungsvoll, dass eine unbefugte Manipulation der Betätigungsvorrichtung durch einen unberechtigten Dritten durchgeführt wird. Darüber hinaus dient der Träger als Betätigungselement für den im Außenbereich des Kraftfahrzeuges stehenden Benutzer. Befindet sich der Träger in seiner zweiten Position (im Folgenden auch als hervorspringende Position genannt), kann der Benutzer manuell eine definierte Kraft auf den Träger ausüben, um das bewegliche Teil des Kraftfahrzeuges, insbesondere den Türaußengriff zu bewegen. Der Träger übernimmt somit die Funktion eines bekannten Griffes, der durch den Benutzer manuell zu betätigen ist, um beispielsweise die Kraftfahrzeugtür oder die Heckklappe des Kraftfahrzeuges zu öffnen und/oder zu schließen. Zuvor muss eine Ver- und/oder Entriegelung des beweglichen Teils des Kraftfahrzeuges stattgefunden haben. Da zur Bewegung des beweglichen Teils des Kraftfahrzeuges erhöhte Kräfte auf den Träger wirken, ist es notwendig, dass die einwirkende Kraft vom Benutzer auf den Träger zuverlässig aufgenommen wird, um das bewegliche Teil des Kraftfahrzeuges in die entsprechende Lage zu bewegen. Hierzu ist der Hebelmechanismus mit zumindest einem Kraftaufnahmeelement ausgeführt, der diese auf den Träger wirkende Kraft zuverlässig in das bewegliche Teil des Kraftfahrzeuges einleitet, weiterleitet, ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass Bauteile der Betätigungsvorrichtung, insbesondere der Träger, die Kamera etc. zerstört, beschädigt etc. werden. Gleichzeitig dient das Kraftaufnahmeelement als Bestandteil des Antriebes, insbesondere des Hebelmechanismus, um den Träger zwischen der ersten Position (im Folgenden auch als eingefahrene Position genannt) und der zweiten Position zu bewegen.By integrating the camera within the actuating device, on the one hand, the installation space within the motor vehicle can be saved. In addition, the effort during assembly decreases because only in one step, both the camera and the actuator in the form of the carrier on the moving part of the motor vehicle can be fixed by the installer. The carrier has several objects and functions according to the invention. On the one hand, the carrier transports the camera into the respective position in order to ensure a satisfactory image capture of the exterior of the motor vehicle. In addition, the wearer protects the camera from environmental influences, such as heat, moisture, dust, etc. This protection can be realized both in the first position and in the second position of the wearer. Also, the wearer effectively prevents unauthorized manipulation of the actuator by an unauthorized third party. In addition, the carrier serves as an actuating element for the standing outside of the motor vehicle user. If the carrier is in its second position (also referred to below as a protruding position), the user can manually exert a defined force on the carrier in order to move the movable part of the motor vehicle, in particular the outside door handle. The carrier thus assumes the function of a known handle, which is to be operated manually by the user, for example, to open the motor vehicle door or the tailgate of the motor vehicle and / or close. Previously, a supply and / or Unlocking of the movable part of the motor vehicle have taken place. Since increased forces act on the carrier to move the movable part of the motor vehicle, it is necessary that the applied force is reliably absorbed by the user on the carrier in order to move the movable part of the motor vehicle in the appropriate position. For this purpose, the lever mechanism is designed with at least one force-receiving element that reliably initiates this force acting on the carrier in the movable part of the motor vehicle, passes without the risk that components of the actuator, in particular the carrier, the camera destroyed, etc. damaged etc. will be. At the same time, the force-absorbing element serves as a component of the drive, in particular the lever mechanism, in order to move the carrier between the first position (also referred to below as the retracted position) and the second position.
In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Träger ein Gehäuse aufweisen, in dem die Kamera angeordnet ist. Das Gehäuse kann unter anderem die Kamera umschließen und dient somit sowohl in der eingefahrenen Position als auch in der hervorspringenden Position des Trägers als zuverlässiger Schutz. Selbstverständlich sind innerhalb des Gehäuses des Trägers weitere Bauteile, elektrische Komponenten, elektrische Bauteile befestigbar. Der Träger kann an seinem Außenbereich Führungsmittel aufweisen, damit während der Bewegung zwischen der eingefahrenen Position und der hervorspringenden Position eine zuverlässige Führung und/oder Lagerung des Trägers gewährleistet ist, ohne das beispielsweise der Träger während der Bewegung sich verkantet etc., welches nachteiligerweise die Funktionalität der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung gefährden könnte.In a possible embodiment of the invention, the carrier may comprise a housing in which the camera is arranged. Among other things, the housing can enclose the camera and thus serves as a reliable protection both in the retracted position and in the protruding position of the carrier. Of course, further components, electrical components, electrical components can be fastened within the housing of the carrier. The carrier may have guiding means on its outer portion, so that during the movement between the retracted position and the protruding position a reliable guidance and / or storage of the carrier is ensured without, for example, the carrier canted during movement, etc., which disadvantageously the functionality could endanger the actuator according to the invention.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es denkbar, dass die Kamera unbeweglich am Träger angeordnet ist. Das bedeutet, dass die Kamera in der ersten Position und in der zweiten Position des Trägers stets die gleiche Lage am Träger einnimmt.According to the invention, it is conceivable that the camera is arranged immovably on the carrier. This means that the camera always occupies the same position on the carrier in the first position and in the second position of the carrier.
Ebenfalls kann es von Vorteil sein, dass die Kamera beweglich am Träger gelagert ist. Hierbei kann die Kamera zwischen einer aktiven Lage und einer passiven Lage über einen Kameraantrieb bewegt werden. In der ersten Position des Trägers befindet sich die Kamera in der passiven Lage. In der zweiten Position des Trägers kann sich die Kamera sowohl in der aktiven Lage als auch in der passiven Lage befinden. Falls beispielsweise der Benutzer den in der zweiten Position sich befindenden Träger manuell betätigen möchte, um das bewegliche Teil des Kraftfahrzeuges zu bewegen, befindet sich die Kamera in der passiven Lage. Falls jedoch eine Bilderfassung des Außenbereiches des Kraftfahrzeuges notwendig ist, erfolgt eine entsprechende Bewegung der Kamera in die aktive Lage. Die aktive Lage ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass zumindest bereichsweise die Kamera mit ihren wesentlichen Bestandteilen zur Bilderfassung aus dem Gehäuse des Trägers herausragt und/oder hervorspringt. In der passiven Lage hingegen befindet sich die Kamera geschützt und abgedichtet innerhalb des Gehäuses des Trägers.It may also be advantageous that the camera is movably mounted on the carrier. In this case, the camera can be moved between an active position and a passive position via a camera drive. In the first position of the carrier, the camera is in the passive position. In the second position of the carrier, the camera can be in both the active position and in the passive position. For example, if the user If the carrier in the second position wishes to manually operate to move the movable part of the motor vehicle, the camera is in the passive position. However, if an image capture of the exterior of the vehicle is necessary, a corresponding movement of the camera takes place in the active position. According to the invention, the active layer is characterized in that, at least in some areas, the camera protrudes with its essential components for image acquisition out of the housing of the carrier and / or protrudes. In the passive position, however, the camera is protected and sealed within the housing of the wearer.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Hebelmechanismus durch einen elektrischen Motor antreibbar sein, wobei insbesondere der Hebelmechanismus ein Hebelpaar aufweist, wobei der erste Hebel am Träger angeordnet ist und der zweite Hebel durch den elektrischen Motor bewegbar ist, wobei der zweite Hebel gelenkig mit dem ersten Hebel verbunden ist. Es können auch mehrere Hebelpaare vorgesehen sein, insbesondere zwei Hebelpaare, die beabstandet von einander auf den Träger wirken, so dass eine zuverlässige und gleichmäßige Bewegung zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Position des Trägers sichergestellt ist. Der erste Hebel ist gelenkig am zweiten Hebel angeordnet, so dass dieser Hebelmechanismus gewährleistet, dass eine ausreichende Kraft zur Bewegung des Trägers zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Die gelenkige Hebelanordnung ist zudem vorteilhaft, da Bauraum eingespart werden kann. Der erste Hebel kann direkt am Träger wirken. Ebenfalls ist denkbar, dass der erste Hebel lediglich mittelbar auf den Träger einwirken kann. Der zweite Hebel ist vorzugsweise um eine feste Drehachse gelagert. In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Träger ein Verbindungselement aufweisen, der an einem Befestigungsbereich des ersten Hebels verbunden ist. Das Verbindungselement kann mit dem Träger ein monolithisches, einstückiges Bauteil bilden. Der Befestigungsbereich des ersten Hebels stellt hierbei einen Knotenpunkt dar, an dem die Befestigung mit dem Träger bzw. mit dem Verbindungselement vorliegt.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the lever mechanism can be driven by an electric motor, wherein in particular the lever mechanism comprises a pair of levers, wherein the first lever is arranged on the carrier and the second lever is movable by the electric motor, wherein the second lever hinged to the first lever is connected. There may also be provided a plurality of pairs of levers, in particular two pairs of levers, which act at a distance from each other on the carrier, so that a reliable and uniform movement between the first and the second position of the carrier is ensured. The first lever is hinged to the second lever so that this lever mechanism ensures that sufficient force is provided to move the carrier. The articulated lever assembly is also advantageous because space can be saved. The first lever can act directly on the carrier. It is also conceivable that the first lever can act only indirectly on the carrier. The second lever is preferably mounted about a fixed axis of rotation. In one possible embodiment of the invention, the carrier may comprise a connecting element which is connected to a fastening region of the first lever. The connecting element can form a monolithic, one-piece component with the carrier. The attachment region of the first lever in this case represents a node at which the attachment to the carrier or with the connecting element is present.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass in der zweiten Position des Trägers das Hebelpaar eine V-artige Anordnung aufweist und/oder in der ersten Position des Trägers beide Hebel eine im Wesentlichen gleiche Ausrichtung aufweisen. Die V-artige Anordnung hat den Vorteil, dass für diesen Zustand des Hebelmechanismus wenig Bauraum erforderlich ist. Bei der Überführung des Hebelpaars von der V-artigen Anordnung in die Anordnung, bei der beide Hebel eine im Wesentlichen gleiche Ausrichtung haben, sorgt der Befestigungsbereich des ersten Hebels dafür, dass eine ausreichend hohe Kraft auf den Träger wirkt, um diesen in die entsprechende Position zu bewegen. In einer weiteren Alternative der Erfindung ist es denkbar, dass die V-artige Anordnung des Hebelpaares in der ersten Position des Trägers vorliegt, wobei in der zweiten Position des Trägers beide Hebel eine im Wesentlichen gleiche Ausrichtung aufweisen können.It is particularly advantageous that in the second position of the carrier, the lever pair has a V-like arrangement and / or in the first position of the carrier both levers have a substantially same orientation. The V-like arrangement has the advantage that little space is required for this state of the lever mechanism. In the transfer of the lever pair of the V-like arrangement in the arrangement, in which both Lever have a substantially same orientation, the mounting portion of the first lever ensures that a sufficiently high force acts on the support to move it into the appropriate position. In a further alternative of the invention, it is conceivable that the V-like arrangement of the lever pair is present in the first position of the carrier, wherein in the second position of the carrier both levers may have a substantially same orientation.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Betätigungsvorrichtung kann der Hebelmechanismus derart ausgeführt sein, dass der Träger um eine Schwenkachse zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Position bewegbar ist. Alternativ ist es möglich, dass der Hebelmechanismus derart aufgeführt ist, dass der Träger linear und/oder translatorisch zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Position bewegbar ist. Bezug nehmend auf beide Ausführungsalternativen kann das Kraftaufnahmeelement an der Schwenkachse angeordnet sein und/oder der Befestigungsbereich des ersten Hebels und/oder das Verbindungselement das Kraftaufnahmeelement bilden.In a preferred embodiment of the actuating device, the lever mechanism may be designed such that the carrier is movable about a pivot axis between the first and the second position. Alternatively, it is possible that the lever mechanism is listed such that the carrier is linearly and / or translationally movable between the first and the second position. With reference to both alternative embodiments, the force-receiving element can be arranged on the pivot axis and / or the fastening region of the first lever and / or the connecting element form the force-receiving element.
In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann lediglich ein elektrischer Motor zur Bewegung des Trägers sowie der Kamera vorgesehen sein. Alternativ ist es denkbar, dass ein separater Motor zur Bewegung des Trägers vorgesehen ist und ein weiterer elektrischer Motor in Wirkverbindung mit der Kamera steht, um diese zwischen der aktiven und der passiven Lage bewegen zu können. Dieser elektrische Motor zur Bewegung der Kamera kann innerhalb des Gehäuses des Trägers angeordnet sein.In one possible embodiment of the invention, only one electric motor may be provided for moving the carrier and the camera. Alternatively, it is conceivable that a separate motor is provided for moving the carrier and another electric motor is in operative connection with the camera in order to be able to move it between the active and the passive position. This electric motor for moving the camera can be arranged inside the housing of the carrier.
Innerhalb des Gehäuses des Trägers kann der Kameraantrieb, insbesondere der elektrische Motor sowie ein entsprechender Mechanismus, insbesondere Hebelmechanismus angeordnet sein, der in Wirkverbindung mit der Kamera steht. Das Gehäuse des Trägers weist vorzugsweise einen Zugang auf, um den elektrischen Motor zur Bewegung der Kamera mit der entsprechenden Spannung, Strom etc. zu versorgen.Within the housing of the carrier of the camera drive, in particular the electric motor and a corresponding mechanism, in particular lever mechanism may be arranged, which is in operative connection with the camera. The housing of the carrier preferably has an access to supply the electric motor for moving the camera with the appropriate voltage, current, etc.
Vorteilhafterweise kann der Träger ein lichtemittierendes Element aufweisen, das in der zweiten Position des Trägers zur Beleuchtung des Außenbereiches des Kraftfahrzeuges dient. Im Rahmen dieses Ausführungsbeispiels ist es denkbar, dass das lichtemittierende Element als Blinker und/oder zur Beleuchtung des Kraftfahrzeugnummernschildes dient, insbesondere das der Träger an der Heckklappe des Kraftfahrzeuges befestigbar ist. In einer bevorzugten Ausführung kann das lichtemittierende Element als OLED und/oder LCD und/oder LED ausgeführt sein, wobei insbesondere das lichtemittierende Element durch eine bewusste Aktion fahrzeuginnenseitig aktivierbar ist und/oder über einen Lichtsensor, der fahrzeugseitig oder am Träger angeordnet ist aktivierbar ist. Befindet sich beispielsweise der Benutzer innerhalb des Kraftfahrzeuges und stellt aufgrund der Dunkelheit über einen Taster, Schalter etc die Fahrzeugaußenbeleuchtung an, wird gleichzeitig das lichtemittierende Element aktiviert, welches ebenfalls den Außenbereich des Fahrzeuges beleuchtet. Zuvor fährt der Träger in die hervorspringende Position. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung kann beispielsweise oberhalb oder unterhalb oder auch seitlich zum Kraftfahrzeugnummernschild an der Heckklappe positioniert sein, wobei das lichtemittierende Element zuverlässig das Kraftfahrzeugnummernschild beleuchten kann. In einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das lichtemittierende Element den Außenbereich in unmittelbarer Nähe des Türaußengriffes beleuchten, damit beispielsweise der Benutzer bei Dunkelheit schnell und einfach den Türgriff visuell erkennen kann.Advantageously, the carrier may comprise a light-emitting element which serves in the second position of the carrier for illuminating the outer region of the motor vehicle. In the context of this embodiment, it is conceivable that the light-emitting element serves as a turn signal and / or for illuminating the motor vehicle license plate, in particular that the carrier is attachable to the tailgate of the motor vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, the light-emitting element may be designed as an OLED and / or LCD and / or LED, wherein in particular the light-emitting element can be activated inside the vehicle by a deliberate action and / or can be activated via a light sensor which is arranged on the vehicle or on the carrier. If, for example, the user is inside the motor vehicle and turns on the vehicle exterior lighting due to the darkness via a button, switch, etc., the light-emitting element is simultaneously activated, which likewise illuminates the exterior of the vehicle. Previously, the carrier moves in the protruding position. The actuating device can be positioned, for example, above or below or laterally to the motor vehicle license plate on the tailgate, the light-emitting element can reliably illuminate the vehicle license plate. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting element may illuminate the exterior in the immediate vicinity of the outside door handle so that, for example, the user can quickly and easily visually recognize the door handle in the dark.
Beispielsweise kann in einer besonderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung der Träger eine Außenfläche aufweisen, die in der ersten Position des Trägers bündig zur benachbarten Fahrzeugkaroserie angeordnet ist, wobei insbesondere der Träger und/oder die Außenfläche ein Logo, eine Grafik und/oder ein Zeichen aufweist. Befindet sich der Träger in der eingefahrenen Position, ist ein Betätigungselement, das als üblicher Griff dient, am Kraftfahrzeug unmittelbar nicht erkennbar. Der Benutzer kann manuell nicht ohne weiteres auf das bewegliche Teil des Kraftfahrzeuges wirken, um einen Öffnungsvorgang des beweglichen Teils zu bewirken. Vorteilhafterweise weist die Außenfläche des Trägers die gleiche Farbe, Gestalt, das gleiche Material auf, wie die benachbarte Karosseriefläche. In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das lichtemittierende Element lediglich in der hervorspringenden Position des Trägers in der Lage den Außenbereich des Kraftfahrzeuges zu beleuchten. In der eingefahrenen Position des Trägers befindet sich das lichtemittierende Element ebenfalls innenseitig innerhalb der Betätigungsvorrichtung. Alternativ ist ebenfalls möglich, dass das lichtemittierende Element an der Außenfläche des Trägers angeordnet ist, so dass sowohl in der ersten Position als auch in der zweiten Position des Trägers eine Beleuchtung des Außenbereiches des Kraftfahrzeuges über das lichtemittierende Element denkbar ist. Das lichtemittierende Element kann des Weiteren weitere Funktionen aufweisen, insbesondere kann das lichtemittierende Element als Bremslicht, Nebelschlussleuchte etc. wirken.For example, in a particular embodiment of the invention, the carrier may have an outer surface, which is arranged in the first position of the carrier flush with the adjacent vehicle body, wherein in particular the carrier and / or the outer surface has a logo, a graphic and / or a sign. If the carrier is in the retracted position, an actuating element which serves as a conventional handle is not immediately recognizable on the motor vehicle. The user can not easily manually act on the movable part of the motor vehicle to effect an opening operation of the movable part. Advantageously, the outer surface of the carrier has the same color, shape, the same material as the adjacent body surface. In one embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting element is only able to illuminate the exterior of the motor vehicle in the projecting position of the carrier. In the retracted position of the carrier, the light-emitting element is also inside inside the actuator. Alternatively, it is also possible that the light-emitting element is arranged on the outer surface of the carrier, so that both in the first position and in the second position of the carrier, an illumination of the outer region of the motor vehicle via the light-emitting element is conceivable. The light-emitting element may also have further functions, In particular, the light-emitting element can act as a brake light, rear fog lamp, etc.
Vorteilhafterweise kann ein Aktivierungselement kraftfahrzeugseitig oder am Träger angeordnet sein, wobei das Aktivierungselement über eine bewusste Handlung des Benutzers aktivierbar ist, wodurch der Träger aus seiner ersten Position in die zweite Position und/oder umgekehrt bewegbar ist, wobei insbesondere eine definierte Fußbewegung eines Benutzers durch das kraftfahrzeugseitige Aktivierungselement detektierbar ist. Ebenfalls ist denkbar, dass ein kraftfahrzeugseitiges Sicherheitssystem und/oder ein benutzerseitiger ID-Geber mit der Betätigungsvorrichtung in Datenkommunikation bringbar ist. Beispielsweise schließt die Erfindung mit ein, dass bei einer Aktivierung des Aktivierungselementes durch den Benutzer kraftfahrzeugseitig eine Überprüfung stattfindet, inwieweit eine Berechtigung vorliegt, dass der Benutzer das Aktivierungselement aktivieren "darf". Die Überprüfung der Berechtigung kann beispielsweise über Codes erfolgen, die zwischen dem Kraftfahrzeug und dem Benutzer, der beispielsweise einen ID-Geber bei sich trägt, ausgetauscht werden. Erst wenn die Überprüfung positiv ist, erfolgt eine Aktivierung des Antriebs sowie des Hebelmechanismus, um den Träger in die hervorspringende Position und/oder in die eingefahrene Position zu bewegen. Beispielsweise ist die Betätigungsvorrichtung mit einem Sicherheitssystem des Kraftfahrzeuges, insbesondere mit einer Zentralverriegelung kombinierbar, wobei das Sicherheitssystem mit der Betätigungsvorrichtung in Datenkommunikation steht. Somit hat der Benutzer die Gelegenheit über eine Aktivierung des Aktivierungselements bei der der Träger in die jeweilige Position verfahren wird, gleichzeitig eine Entriegelung des beweglichen Teils zu bewirken. Das Aktivierungselement kann unmittelbar am Träger angeordnet sein. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass das Aktivierungselement unabhängig vom Träger an einer anderen Stelle des Kraftfahrzeuges vorgesehen ist. Ebenfalls schließt die Erfindung mit ein, dass über eine entsprechende Aktivierung des ID-Gebers, den der Benutzer bei sich trägt, der Träger zwischen seinen beiden Positionen ausgefahren werden kann. Das Aktivierungselement kann insbesondere im unteren Bereich des Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet sein, so dass über eine definierte Fußbewegung des Benutzers das Aktivierungselement aktivierbar ist, um den Träger aus einer ersten Position in die zweite Position und/oder umgekehrt zu bewegen. Selbstverständlich erfolgt auch hier zuvor oder gleichzeitig eine Berechtigungsüberprüfung, inwieweit der Benutzer tatsächlich berechtigt ist, den Träger zu bewegen.Advantageously, an activation element can be arranged on the vehicle side or on the carrier, wherein the activation element can be activated via a conscious action of the user, whereby the carrier can be moved from its first position to the second position and / or vice versa, wherein in particular a defined foot movement of a user through the Motor vehicle side activation element is detectable. It is also conceivable that a motor vehicle-side safety system and / or a user-side ID transmitter with the actuator in data communication can be brought. For example, the invention includes that upon activation of the activation element by the user on the motor vehicle side, a check takes place to what extent there is authorization that the user "activate" the activation element. The authorization can be checked, for example, by codes which are exchanged between the motor vehicle and the user who carries, for example, an ID transmitter. Only when the check is positive, an activation of the drive and the lever mechanism to move the carrier in the projecting position and / or in the retracted position takes place. For example, the actuating device can be combined with a safety system of the motor vehicle, in particular with a central locking, wherein the safety system is in data communication with the actuating device. Thus, the user has the opportunity via an activation of the activation element in which the carrier is moved into the respective position, at the same time to effect an unlocking of the movable part. The activation element can be arranged directly on the carrier. It is also conceivable that the activation element is provided independently of the carrier at another location of the motor vehicle. The invention also includes that the carrier can be extended between its two positions via a corresponding activation of the ID transmitter, which the user carries with him. The activation element can be arranged in particular in the lower region of the motor vehicle, so that the activating element can be activated via a defined foot movement of the user in order to move the carrier from a first position to the second position and / or vice versa. Of course, also here or before at the same time an authorization check to what extent the user is actually entitled to move the carrier.
Ebenfalls kann vorgesehen sein, dass über die Aktivierung des Aktivierungselementes lediglich ein Ausfahren oder Hineinfahren des Trägers bewirkt wird, ohne dass eine Ver- und/oder Entriegelungsaktion bzw. Vorgang des beweglichen Teils des Kraftfahrzeuges erfolgt. Hierzu kann ein Aktionselement am Träger angeordnet sein, wobei das Aktionselement zur Ver- und/oder Entriegelung des beweglichen Teils dient, wobei insbesondere nur in der zweiten Position des Trägers das Aktionselement vom Außenbereich zugänglich ist. Sowohl für die Bewegung des Trägers als auch für die Ver- und/oder Entriegelung des beweglichen Teils kann eine Berechtigungsüberprüfung mit dem Sicherheitssystem stattfinden.It can also be provided that only activation or activation of the carrier is effected via the activation of the activation element, without there being any locking and / or unlocking action or operation of the movable part of the motor vehicle. For this purpose, an action element may be arranged on the carrier, wherein the action element for locking and / or unlocking of the movable part is used, wherein in particular only in the second position of the carrier, the action element is accessible from the outside. An authorization check with the security system can take place both for the movement of the carrier and for the locking and / or unlocking of the movable part.
Vorteilhafterweise verbleibt in einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung der Träger nur einen definierten Zeitraum in seiner hervorspringenden Position, insbesondere dann, falls das Aktionselement vom Benutzer noch nicht aktiviert worden ist. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung ist erfindungsgemäß derart konfiguriert, dass nach diesem definierten Zeitraum der Träger automatisch wieder in die eingefahrene Position verfährt, falls das Aktionselement nicht durch den Benutzer betätigt wurde. Auch die Kamera verbleibt in ihrer passiven Lage. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Betätigungsvorrichtung mit einem Sicherheitssystem, insbesondere Keyless-Entry-System in Verbindung setzbar.Advantageously, in one possible embodiment of the invention, the carrier only remains in its projecting position for a defined period of time, in particular if the action element has not yet been activated by the user. According to the invention, the actuating device is configured in such a way that, after this defined period of time, the carrier automatically moves back into the retracted position if the action element has not been actuated by the user. The camera also remains in its passive position. Advantageously, the actuator is settable with a security system, in particular keyless entry system.
Vorteilhafterweise kann das Aktivierungselement und/oder das Aktionselement als elektrisches Schaltelement, Taster, Schalter, Piezoelement, kapazitiver Schalter ausgebildet sein. Ebenfalls und/oder alternativ ist es möglich, dass das Aktivierungselement gleichzeitig das Aktionselement bildet. Der Vorteil des kapazitiven Schalters ist, dass in einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung eine Annäherung des Benutzers ausreicht, um das Aktivierungselement oder das Aktionselement "anzusprechen" bzw. zu aktivieren.Advantageously, the activation element and / or the action element can be designed as an electrical switching element, pushbutton, switch, piezoelectric element, capacitive switch. Likewise and / or alternatively, it is possible for the activation element to simultaneously form the action element. The advantage of the capacitive switch is that in one possible embodiment of the invention an approximation of the user is sufficient to "activate" or activate the activating element or the action element.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Träger ein Schutzelement aufweisen, das den Innenbereich des Trägers in der passiven Lage der Kamera verschießt. In einer möglichen Ausführungsform des Schutzelementes ist das Schutzelement direkt mit der Kamera verbunden, so dass über eine Bewegung der Kamera gleichzeitig das Schutzelement bewegt und/oder verschwenkt wird und somit die Kamera in den Außenbereich des Kraftfahrzeuges geführt wird, um eine Bilderfassung durchführen zu können.In a further embodiment of the invention, the carrier may comprise a protective element which shoots the interior of the carrier in the passive position of the camera. In one possible embodiment of the protective element, the protective element is connected directly to the camera, so that at the same time the camera is moved by a movement of the camera Protective element is moved and / or pivoted and thus the camera is guided in the outer area of the motor vehicle to perform an image capture can.
In einer die Erfindung verbessernden Maßnahme ist der Träger durch eine Öffnung des Kraftfahrzeuges zwischen seinen Positionen bewegbar, wobei die Öffnung des Kraftfahrzeuges bzw. der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie einen abdichtenden Rand aufweist, der sowohl in der ersten Position als auch in der zweiten Position des Trägers den Innenbereich des Kraftfahrzeuges vom Außenbereich des Kraftfahrzeuges zuverlässig abdichtet. Beispielsweise kann eine Doppeldichtung am Rand der Öffnung vorgesehen sein.In a measure improving the invention, the carrier is movable through an opening of the motor vehicle between its positions, wherein the opening of the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle body has a sealing edge, which in both the first position and in the second position of the carrier, the interior of the Motor vehicle reliably seals from the outside of the vehicle. For example, a double seal may be provided at the edge of the opening.
Der Träger kann ebenfalls eine Öffnung aufweisen, wobei das Schutzelement in der passiven Lage der Kamera die Öffnung verschließt. Auch diese Öffnung weist einen Rand auf, welcher zuverlässig über ein Dichtelement verfügt. Somit kann in einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung die Kamera in ihrer passiven Lage zweifach geschützt, bzw. abgedichtet sein, wenn der Träger sich in seiner eingefahrenen Position befindet. Das bedeutet, dass die erste Abdichtung an der Öffnung des Kraftfahrzeuges wirksam ist. Die zweite Abdichtung hingegen erfolgt an der Öffnung des Trägers, die durch das Schutzelement verschlossen ist.The carrier may also have an opening, wherein the protective element in the passive position of the camera closes the opening. This opening also has an edge which reliably has a sealing element. Thus, in one possible embodiment of the invention, the camera may be double-protected in its passive position when the carrier is in its retracted position. This means that the first seal at the opening of the motor vehicle is effective. The second seal, however, takes place at the opening of the carrier, which is closed by the protective element.
Der Mechanismus zum Antrieb und zur Bewegung des Trägers sowie zur Bewegung der Kamera kann derart ausgestaltet sein, dass die erste und die zweite Position des Trägers sowie die aktive Lage und die passive Lage der Kamera stabile Positionen bzw. stabile Lagen darstellen. Das bedeutet, dass der Hebelmechanismus bewirkt, dass die jeweilige Position bzw. die jeweilige Lage zuverlässig ohne jegliches Wackeln etc. gehalten wird.The mechanism for driving and moving the carrier as well as for moving the camera can be configured such that the first and the second position of the carrier as well as the active position and the passive position of the camera represent stable positions or stable positions. This means that the lever mechanism causes the respective position or the respective position is held reliably without any wobbling etc.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann am Träger ein Schließzylinder angeordnet sein, der beispielsweise in beiden Positionen des Trägers oder lediglich in der hervorspringenden Position des Trägers zugänglich ist. Der Schließzylinder ist vorzugsweise mit dem mechanischen Schloss des beweglichen Teils in Wirkverbindung. In den Schließzylinder kann ein Notschlüssel eingeführt werden, falls die elektrische Versorgung des Kraftfahrzeuges, insbesondere der Betätigungsvorrichtung aus etwaigen Gründen ausgefallen sein sollte. Mit Hilfe des Notschlüssels kann somit das bewegliche Teil manuell durch den Benutzer geöffnet werden, indem das Schloss über den Schließzylinder entriegelt, insbesondere geöffnet wird.In a further embodiment of the invention, a lock cylinder can be arranged on the carrier, which is accessible, for example, in both positions of the carrier or only in the protruding position of the carrier. The lock cylinder is preferably in operative connection with the mechanical lock of the movable part. In the lock cylinder, an emergency key can be introduced if the electrical supply of the motor vehicle, in particular the actuator should be down for any reason. With the help of the emergency key thus the moving part can manually be opened by the user by unlocking the lock on the lock cylinder, in particular, is opened.
Die Betätigungsvorrichtung kann über eine separate Stromversorgung verfügen. Beispielsweise ist eine Akkumulatoreinheit denkbar, die innenseitig an der Betätigungsvorrichtung befestigt ist. Zudem kann eine Riegelelektronik vorgesehen sein, die in Abständen, insbesondere in regelmäßigen Abständen überprüft, ob zumindest die Akkumulatoreinheit, die einen Energiespeicher darstellt, genügend Energie aufweist, um den Träger aus seiner eingefahrenen Position in die hervorspringende Position bewegen zu können. Falls der Energiespeicher eine zu geringe Energie aufweist, wird dies durch die Regelelektronik erkannt und eine Aufladung des Energiespeichers kann über das Kraftfahrzeugboardnetz erfolgen.The actuator may have a separate power supply. For example, an accumulator unit is conceivable, which is fastened on the inside to the actuating device. In addition, a latch electronics may be provided which checks at intervals, in particular at regular intervals, whether at least the accumulator unit, which is an energy store, has enough energy to move the carrier from its retracted position into the protruding position. If the energy store has too low an energy, this is detected by the control electronics and charging of the energy storage can be done via the motor vehicle board network.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Träger beheizbar ausgeführt sein. Beispielsweise können Heizelemente, insbesondere Heizdrähte innerhalb des Trägers verlaufen, die für eine entsprechende Erwärmung des Trägers sorgen. Falls bei niedrigen Temperaturen der Träger beispielsweise festgefroren sein sollte, kann über eine Erwärmung des Trägers in kürzester Zeit diese Störsituation behoben werden, wodurch eine Bewegung des Trägers zwischen seine beiden Positionen gewährleistet ist. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass über die Erwärmung des Trägers auch die Bewegung der Kamera zwischen der aktiven und der passiven Lage sichergestellt werden kann.In a further embodiment of the invention, the carrier can be designed to be heatable. By way of example, heating elements, in particular heating wires, can run within the carrier, which provide for a corresponding heating of the carrier. If, for example, the carrier is frozen at low temperatures, this interference situation can be remedied by heating the carrier in the shortest possible time, thereby ensuring movement of the carrier between its two positions. It is also conceivable that the movement of the camera between the active and the passive position can be ensured by the heating of the carrier.
Ebenfalls kann es sinnvoll sein, dass bei Erreichen der ersten und/oder der zweiten Position bzw. der passiven und/oder der aktiven Lage ein Informationssignal von der Betätigungsvorrichtung in das Kraftfahrzeug gesendet wird. Über dieses Informationssignal erhält der Benutzer innerhalb des Kraftfahrzeuges eine entsprechende Rückmeldung bzgl. der Position bzw. der Lage des Trägers bzw. der Kamera. Diese Rückmeldung kann beispielsweise optisch kommen, akustisch oder auch haptisch für den Benutzer erfolgen.It may also be useful that when the first and / or the second position or the passive and / or the active position is reached, an information signal is sent from the actuating device into the motor vehicle. By means of this information signal, the user within the motor vehicle receives a corresponding feedback regarding the position or the position of the carrier or the camera. This feedback can, for example, come visually, acoustically or haptically for the user.
Des weiteren kann es von Vorteil sein, dass der Träger zumindest im Bereich der Linse der Kamera aus einem Material ausgeführt ist, welches transparent oder einseitigtransparent ist oder das dieses Material in zwei Zustände, in einen transparenten und einen nichttransparenten Zustand gebracht werden kann. Somit ist es ebenfalls denkbar, dass bei einem transparenten oder einseitigtransparenten Bereich des Trägers eine Bilderfassung des Außenbereiches über die Kamera durchführbar ist, wenn die Kamera sich vollständig innerhalb des Trägers befindet.Furthermore, it may be advantageous for the support to be made, at least in the region of the lens of the camera, from a material which is transparent or one-sided transparent or which can be brought into two states, into a transparent state and a nontransparent state. Thus, it is also conceivable that at a transparent or one-sided transparent area of the carrier, an image capture of the outdoor area on the camera is feasible when the camera is completely within the carrier.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass in der eingefahrenen Position des Trägers die Kamera, die unbeweglich am Träger befestigt ist, eine Bilderfassung des Außenbereiches des Kraftfahrzeuges durchführen kann. Hierfür ist notwendig, dass zumindest ein Bereich des Trägers transparent ist, damit die Kamera zuverlässig eine Bilderfassung durchführen kann.In a further embodiment of the invention can be provided that in the retracted position of the carrier, the camera, which is immovably fixed to the carrier, can perform an image capture of the exterior of the motor vehicle. For this it is necessary that at least one area of the carrier is transparent, so that the camera can reliably perform image acquisition.
Ebenfalls kann es von Vorteil sein, dass die Betätigungsvorrichtung ein Reinigungselement aufweist, das während der Bewegung der Kamera Verschmutzungen an der Kamera bzw. an der Kameralinse entfernt. In einer möglichen Ausführungsform kann das Reinigungselement eine Fließfläche sein.It may also be advantageous that the actuating device has a cleaning element which removes dirt on the camera or on the camera lens during the movement of the camera. In one possible embodiment, the cleaning element may be a flow surface.
Erfindungsgemäß kann ein Abstandsmesser am Träger angeordnet sein. Bei Einlegen des Rückwärtsganges wird der Abstandsmesser aktiviert und teilt dem Benutzer des Kraftfahrzeuges neben der Bilderfassung des Außenbereiches über die Kamera zusätzlich die Information mit, wie groß der Abstand zu den jeweiligen Gegenständen ist, die sich am Heckbereich, am Seitenbereich des Kraftfahrzeuges befinden.According to the invention, a distance meter can be arranged on the carrier. When inserting the reverse gear, the distance meter is activated and notifies the user of the motor vehicle in addition to the image capture of the outside area via the camera with additional information about how large the distance to the respective objects, which are located at the rear, on the side of the motor vehicle.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Betätigungsvorrichtung von innen an die Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie montierbar. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, dass die Betätigungsvorrichtung am Kraftfahrzeugteil bzw. an der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie verrastet, angeclipst oder eingeschoben wird. Eine Klebverbindung ist ebenfalls denkbar.Advantageously, the actuating device can be mounted from the inside to the motor vehicle body. For example, it is conceivable that the actuating device is locked, clipped or inserted on the motor vehicle part or on the motor vehicle body. An adhesive bond is also conceivable.
