Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of lowering a windowpane of a vehicle door of a vehicle to facilitate entry and exit into and out of the vehicle for the vehicle occupant.
  • the vehicle doors are hinged to the vehicle body about the vertical axis or approximately about the vertical axis of the vehicle. When opening such vehicle doors, these pivot in the lateral environment of the vehicle. In these vehicles, the entry into and out of the vehicle for the vehicle occupant is particularly cumbersome, especially when the vehicle is parked in a place where in the immediate lateral environment of the vehicle objects such as other vehicles or walls, trees, Fences or the like are located. The vehicle doors rotating around the vertical axis of the vehicle can then be opened only by a small door opening angle, so that the released space through which the vehicle occupant can leave the vehicle is very small.
  • the vehicle doors can also be struck so that they are not rotatable about the vertical axis of the vehicle, but about the longitudinal axis. Such doors are posted in the roof of the vehicle and are often referred to as gullwing doors.
  • the doors can also be arranged so as to be pivotable about the transverse axis or about a rotational axis of the vehicle which is slightly inclined with respect to the transverse axis, as is the case with so-called scissors doors.
  • a battered vehicle doors when opening the vehicle door is not or only slightly moved in the lateral environment of the vehicle, but in a space above the vehicle, where except for garages with low ceiling height generally a sufficiently large space without obstacles is available ,
  • a disadvantage of these wing and scissor doors is that the vehicle design deviates significantly from the usual vehicle concepts, so that such vehicle doors are only conditionally applicable for mass production. Consequently, one encounters such vehicle doors only in very few vehicles, especially in sports cars of the upper class, which are built in smaller series.
  • the DE 10 2014 003 909 A1 and the DE 20 2007 002 405 U1 disclose devices with which it is possible to facilitate entry and exit into and out of the vehicle for the vehicle occupant when the vehicle is parked in a location where there are objects such as other vehicles or walls in the immediate lateral environment of the vehicle , Trees, fences or the like are located. If such objects are detected in the environment of the vehicle, the device causes the DE 10 2014 003 909 A1 the complete lowering of the windowpane. In the DE 20 2007 002 405 U1 the driver has to knock on the window pane, whereupon the window pane is lowered completely.
  • Object of an embodiment of the present invention is to facilitate entry and exit for a vehicle occupant, even if the vehicle door is hinged to the vehicle about the vertical axis rotatable without further changes to the vehicle design are necessary.
  • an automatic complete or partial lowering of the window pane takes place when a situation is detected by vehicle sensors in which an entry or exit operation of a vehicle occupant takes place such action is imminent, in which the entry and exit can be facilitated by the lowered window position.
  • the lowering position may be determined depending on how closely the entry or exit situation is detected.
  • the lowering of the window can be completely or partially suppressed.
  • the door unlocking device of a given vehicle door includes an inner and an outer unlocking lever.
  • the vehicle door is opened by pulling one of the release levers.
  • the door unlocking device can also be activated by a specific gesture or by pressing a button, for example inside the vehicle or on the vehicle key, or actuated by touching a designated field and the vehicle door may also be opened without the active participation of the vehicle occupant, for example using a servomotor.
  • the unlocking sensor may be configured so that it already registers the approaching hand of the vehicle occupant before the intended field has already been touched.
  • Some vehicles may also recognize that the vehicle key is being introduced into the environment of the vehicle. In this case, it is likely that the operation of the door unlocking device is imminent. This circumstance is described with the forthcoming operation of the door unlocking device.
  • the window of the vehicle door is lowered so that the entry and exit is easier for the vehicle occupant.
  • a drive device is described with which the windows can be lowered and raised.
  • the lowering and lifting refers to the intended orientation of the vehicle when it is on a substantially horizontal plane.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that in particular when the vehicle door can only be opened by a small door opening angle due to objects in the lateral surroundings of the vehicle, the window pane constitutes an obstacle for the vehicle occupant.
  • the window is lowered so far that such touches are avoided. Consequently, the vehicle occupant has a larger space available to get in or out of the vehicle. In particular He can move his upper body over the open vehicle door, making it easier to get in or out.
  • the measures necessary for implementing the idea presented here are limited to the provision of the corresponding sensors on a proposed programming of the control unit, on which algorithms are deposited, with which it can be determined how far the window pane must be lowered to the entry and exit for the vehicle occupant in the event that the vehicle door can only be opened by a small door opening angle.
  • the aim is to lower the window pane as far as necessary, but too little as possible.
  • a complete lowering should be prevented as much as possible in order to avoid unnecessary movements of the window and thus to keep the noise level, energy consumption and the burden on the window pane itself and the seals and mechanics low. It has been found that a lowering from the maximum raised position and in relation to the height by 30 to 50% already provide significant facilities for getting in and out.
  • the drive device is not activated.
  • the window pane is not raised when it is in a position which is below the position determined by the control unit for facilitating entry and exit.
  • Design changes to the vehicle design, as it is necessary in the use of scissor or wing doors instead of conventional, rotatably hinged to the vertical axis vehicle doors are, as proposed not required.
  • a short stroke is a lowering of the windows to understand a measure in which the windows no longer engage in the seals.
  • the windows are lowered only a few millimeters, which does not lead to a relief of entry and exit.
  • the window pane may be lowered into various positions according to the particular door parameter signals as proposed.
  • the window pane can be lowered to different extents.
  • the consideration of the door parameter signals makes it possible to lower the window pane only as far as necessary in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the vehicle occupant. As a result, an unnecessarily far lowering of the window pane and the associated noise, the energy consumption and loads on the seals, the mechanism and the window pane are reduced to the necessary level.
  • Distance sensors and cameras are a common feature of modern vehicles and are used, for example, for parking and / or lane change assistants.
  • the distance sensors or cameras can determine whether an object is located in the vicinity of the vehicle and, if so, at what distance. From this it can be determined how far or around which door opening angle the vehicle door can be opened. Taking into account the distance of the objects located in the vicinity of the vehicle, the position of the window pane, in which the entry and exit is facilitated, can be determined relatively accurately. In this case, it may be advisable to lower the windowpane the closer the objects are to the vehicle. This also avoids unnecessarily far lowering the window pane with the disadvantages described above.
  • the vehicle occupant will open the vehicle door more slowly if there is an object in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle, with which the vehicle door may collide when opening, in order to avoid damage. If the door opening speed sensors register a slow door opening, this can closed on an object in the lateral environment of the vehicle and the window pane are already moved in the direction of the position in which the entry and exit is facilitated before the vehicle door has reached the open position. As a result, the speed at which the windowpane is lowered can be kept low, which can reduce the stress on the seals and the energy consumption as well as the noise level.
  • the door opening speed sensors can also be used as redundancy for the unlocking sensors, as they also indicate the opening of the vehicle door. Consequently, the present method can be carried out even if the unlocking sensors should fail.
  • the door opening angle sensors measures how far the vehicle door has been opened from the closed position. In the open position, the vehicle door is stationary. This door opening angle can either be processed directly by the control unit or the control unit compares the maximum possible door opening angle with the measured door opening angle and forms a difference. The windowpane is lowered only when the measured door opening angle below or the difference is above a threshold. If these conditions are fulfilled, the position is determined, in which the window pane is lowered. This also makes it possible to determine the position in which the entry and exit is made very accurate, which in turn an unnecessary lowering of the window is avoided.
  • the rain sensors register a particularly strong precipitation, such as rain or snow, so can be dispensed with the lowering of the window or lowering the window is lowered only by a reduced level, so that although the entry and exit slightly, but not the best possible becomes. This prevents the lowering of the window pane from causing snow or rain to enter the interior of the vehicle, causing it to become dirty and damp.
  • the rain sensor can be used even if it is only able to detect the presence of precipitation, but not to determine its strength.
  • the wiper activity means register activity of the windshield wipers, this indicates a precipitate.
  • this can be dispensed with the lowering of the window or the window is lowered only by a reduced level, so that the entry and exit only a little, but still noticeably easier, but without achieving the ideal case. This prevents the lowering of the window pane from causing snow or rain to enter the interior of the vehicle, causing it to become dirty and damp.
  • the door edge protection device comprises an elastic edge protection element, which is arranged in the closed state of the vehicle door on its rear end wall and therefore is not visible from the outside.
  • the edge protection element surrounds the furthest projecting area of the door edge and thus protects the edge of the door from contact with objects in the lateral surroundings of the vehicle. If the vehicle door is closed again, the edge protection element is moved back to the rear end wall.
  • the door edge protection device can be set up so that contact with neighboring objects can be registered. For example, the squeezing of the edge protection element can be detected, thereby generating door edge protection signals become.
  • These door edge protection signals provide information as to how far the vehicle door can be maximally opened and that the vehicle occupant is about to get in or out of the vehicle. From this information, the control unit calculates the position in which the entry or exit is facilitated and causes the lowering of the window pane in this position.
  • the window pane can be lowered into a fixed predetermined position in which experience has shown that getting in and out of and out of the vehicle is facilitated. It has been found that a lowering from the maximum raised position and in relation to the height by 30 to 50% already provide significant facilities for getting in and out.
  • a short stroke is a lowering of the windows to understand a measure in which the windows no longer engage in the seals, as for example in the DE 10 2011 119 369 B4 , the DE 10 2011 113 174 A1 , the DE 10 2008 014 520 A1 , the DE 198 48 652 C1 and the DE 103 38 767 A1 the case is.
  • the windows are lowered only by a few millimeters.
  • a vehicle with a vehicle door is proposed to solve the object of the invention, the window can be lowered by a method according to one of the previous embodiments.
  • the technical effects and advantages that can be achieved with the proposed vehicle are similar to those discussed for the present method.
  • the present method can also be used in particular in vehicles which have a vehicle door which is rotatably hinged about the vertical axis of the vehicle.
  • the measures necessary to implement the present method are in many cases limited to programming the control unit. In particular, no changes in the vehicle design are necessary, as would be the case, for example, if you wanted to use wing or scissor doors.
  • the vehicle has activation means for activating the control unit.
  • the vehicle occupant is given the opportunity to prevent the lowering of the window when entering and exiting in the event that the vehicle door can not be fully open.
  • the granting of this option gives the vehicle occupant control over the procedures involved in boarding and disembarking, especially when the vehicle occupant can or will forego the benefits of the present method.
  • the activation and / or the deactivation can be displayed graphically, for example by the activation device assuming a certain color-differentiable illumination upon activation and / or deactivation or by a corresponding symbol being shown or hidden in the instrument display.
  • the activation device can also be configured so that when the vehicle occupant actuates the activation device, the window pane is lowered in any case, especially when the vehicle door can be opened so far that the control unit comes to the conclusion that the Window pane does not have to be lowered.
  • This option increases the comfort for the vehicle occupant, for example, in the event that the vehicle occupant feels disturbed even when the vehicle door is maximally wide open from the window or the vehicle occupant does not want to open the vehicle door to the maximum extent, although this would be possible.
  • the proposed method is not limited to a specific design of vehicle doors. However, it is particularly suitable for frameless vehicle doors, since when lowering the window pane no disturbing frame remains behind, which can make it difficult to get in and out of the window despite lowered vehicle door. As previously mentioned, in the case of frameless vehicle doors, the window panes are in many cases lowered so much that they no longer engage in the seals of the stationary part of the vehicle. In this case, the additional effort to implement the proposed idea is particularly simple because only the control unit must be reprogrammed accordingly.
