Description

Sensorvorrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug Sensor device for a motor vehicle
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Sensorvorrichtung für ein Kraftahrzeug. The invention relates to a sensor device for a motor vehicle.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, Sensorvorrichtungen an Kraftfahrzeugen anzuordnen. Die Sensorvorrichtungen können beispielsweise so genannte ACC-Radarsensoren, also Sensoren für die Abstandsregelung, umfassen, die beispielsweise an einer Fahrzeugfront anordenbar sind. Wenn es sich bei dem Kraftfahrzeug um ein Neigefahrzeug handelt, kann die Sensorvorrichtung beispielsweise unterhalb einer Streuscheibe angeordnet sein. It is known from the prior art to arrange sensor devices on motor vehicles. The sensor devices can include, for example, so-called ACC radar sensors, ie sensors for distance control, which can be arranged, for example, on the front of the vehicle. If the motor vehicle is a tilting vehicle, the sensor device can be arranged below a lens, for example.
Um die Verkehrssicherheit des Kraftfahrzeugs zu erhöhen, ist eine genaue Positionierung und Ausrichtung des Sensors notwendig. Bei den bekannten Sensorvorrichtungen für Kraftfahrzeuge werden die Sensorvorrichtungen im Zuge der Fertigung am Band am Kraftfahrzeug festgelegt und unter der Verwendung von Schrauben bezüglich ihrer Ausrichtung manuell eingestellt. Dieses erweist sich als zeitaufwändig. In order to increase the traffic safety of the motor vehicle, precise positioning and alignment of the sensor is necessary. In the known sensor devices for motor vehicles, the sensor devices are fixed to the motor vehicle during production on the assembly line and their orientation is manually adjusted using screws. This proves to be time consuming.
Eine Aufgabe eines Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung ist, eine Sensorvorrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug vorzuschlagen, bei der ein Ausrichten der Sensorvorrichtung am Kraftfahrzeug vereinfacht ist. An object of an exemplary embodiment of the invention is to propose a sensor device for a motor vehicle in which alignment of the sensor device on the motor vehicle is simplified.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Sensorvorrichtung für ein Kraftahrzeug, insbesondere für ein Neigefahrzeug, mit mindestens einem Halterahmen, mit mindestens einer Festlegeeinrichtung, durch die der Halterahmen an mindestens einer Komponente des Kraftfahrzeugs relativ zur This object is achieved by a sensor device for a motor vehicle, in particular for a tilting vehicle, with at least one holding frame, with at least one fixing device, through which the holding frame is fixed to at least one component of the motor vehicle relative to the
ERSATZBLATT (REGEL 26) mindestens einen Komponente ortsfest festlegbar oder festgelegt ist, mit mindestens einer ersten Ausrichteinheit zum Ausrichten des Halterahmens beim Festlegen in einer SOLL-Ausrichtung, wobei die erste Ausrichteinheit mindestens drei Berührstellen umfasst, an denen der Halterahmen berührend an der mindestens einen Komponente und/oder einem weiteren Bauteil des Kraftfahrzeugs in der festgelegten Anordnung berührend anliegt, und mit mindestens einem Sensormittel, das in den Halterahmen einführbar und darin relativ zum Halterahmen ortsfest festlegbar ist. SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) at least one component can be fixed or fixed in place, with at least one first alignment unit for aligning the holding frame when it is fixed in a TARGET alignment, the first alignment unit comprising at least three contact points at which the holding frame touches the at least one component and/or another Component of the motor vehicle is in contact in the specified arrangement, and with at least one sensor means which can be inserted into the holding frame and fixed in place relative to the holding frame.
Dadurch, dass der Halterahmen durch die erste Ausrichteinheit mit mindestens drei Berührstellen an der Komponente des Kraftfahrzeugs und/oder einem weiteren Bauteil des Kraftfahrzeugs in der festen Anordnung berührend anliegt, kann auf eine nachträgliche Justage des Halterahmens nach dem Fügen verzichtet werden. Durch das Anliegen an mindestens drei Berührstellen ist die Ausrichtung des Halterahmens ausreichend geometrisch bestimmt. Hierdurch ist das Anordnen der Sensorvorrichtung am Kraftfahrzeug und das Einstellen der Ausrichtung der Sensorvorrichtung in einem einzigen gemeinsamen Montageschritt ermöglicht. Because the holding frame is in contact with the component of the motor vehicle and/or another component of the motor vehicle in the fixed arrangement by the first alignment unit with at least three contact points, there is no need for subsequent adjustment of the holding frame after joining. The orientation of the holding frame is determined sufficiently geometrically by the contact at at least three contact points. This enables the sensor device to be arranged on the motor vehicle and the alignment of the sensor device to be adjusted in a single joint assembly step.
Grundsätzlich ist es denkbar, dass der Halterahmen lediglich an einer einzigen Komponente des Kraftfahrzeugs festlegbar ist. Darüber hinaus kann der Halterahmen an mehreren Komponenten des Kraftfahrzeugs festgelegt sein. In principle, it is conceivable that the holding frame can only be fixed to a single component of the motor vehicle. In addition, the holding frame can be fixed to a number of components of the motor vehicle.
Um die Genauigkeit der Ausrichtung der Sensorvorrichtung im gefügten Zustand zu erhöhen, kann durch die erste Ausrichteinheit ein Anliegen des Halterahmens an mindestens vier Berührstellen oder mehr als vier Berührstellen vorgesehen sein. An jeweils einer Berührstelle kann der Halterahmen punktförmig, linienförmig oder flächenhaft an der Komponente oder einem weiteren Bauteil des Kraftfahrzeugs anliegen. Das Kraftfahrzeug kann ein Neigefahrzeug umfassen. Unter einem Neigefahrzeug werden Fahrräder, Motorräder oder motorradähnliche Kraftfahrzeuge, wie Motorroller, insbesondere zwei-, drei- oder vierrädrige Motorroller, Scooter, neigbare Trikes, Quads oder Dergleichen verstanden. In order to increase the accuracy of the alignment of the sensor device in the assembled state, the first alignment unit can provide for the holding frame to rest against at least four contact points or more than four contact points. At each point of contact, the holding frame can contact the component or another part of the motor vehicle in a point-like, line-like or area-like manner. The motor vehicle may include a tilting vehicle. A tilting vehicle is understood to mean bicycles, motorcycles or motor vehicles similar to motorcycles, such as motor scooters, in particular two-, three- or four-wheeled motor scooters, scooters, tiltable trikes, quads or the like.
Um die Montage der Sensorvorrichtung am Kraftfahrzeug zu erleichtern, kann der Halterahmen werkzeuglos über die Festlegeeinrichtung gefügt werden. Solchenfalls kann der Halterahmen beispielsweise an die Komponente angeclipst werden. Hierzu erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, wenn die Festlegeeinrichtung mindestes einen Vorsprung am Halterahmen umfasst, der in oder an einer Aufnahme der mindestens einen Komponente, einen Hintergriff bezüglich einer ersten Fügerichtung bildend, festlegbar oder festgelegt ist und/oder wenn die Festlegeeinrichtung mindestes einen Vorsprung an der mindestens einen Komponente umfasst, der in oder an einer Aufnahme des Halterahmens, einen Hintergriff bezüglich der ersten Fügerichtung bildend, festlegbar oder festgelegt ist. In order to facilitate the installation of the sensor device on the motor vehicle, the holding frame can be fitted over the fixing device without the use of tools. In such a case, the holding frame can be clipped onto the component, for example. For this purpose, it has proven to be advantageous if the fixing device comprises at least one projection on the holding frame, which can be fixed or is fixed in or on a receptacle of the at least one component, forming a catch from behind with respect to a first joining direction and/or if the fixing device has at least one projection which comprises at least one component which can be fixed or fixed in or on a receptacle of the holding frame, forming a catch from behind with respect to the first joining direction.
Die Aufnahme kann technisch beliebig ausgebildet sein, sofern sie der technischen Funktion nachkommt, in der gefügten Anordnung einen Hintergriff bezüglich der ersten Fügerichtung zu bilden. Die Aufnahme lässt sich einfach und kostengünstig ausbilden, wenn sie hakenförmig ausgebildet ist oder eine Ausnehmung umfasst, in die der Vorsprung eingreifbar und einen Hintergriff bildend festlegbar ist. The receptacle can have any technical design as long as it fulfills the technical function of forming a rear grip with respect to the first joining direction in the joined arrangement. The receptacle can be formed easily and inexpensively if it is hook-shaped or includes a recess into which the projection can be engaged and fixed to form a rear grip.
Die erste Ausrichteinheit und die Festlegeeinrichtung können voneinander separierbare und/oder separate Bauteile umfassen. Solchenfalls kann der Halterahmen einen Berührpunkt an einer ersten Komponente des Kraftfahrzeugs umfassen und an einer zweiten Komponente durch die Festlegeeinrichtung festgelegt sein. Es erweist sich als vorteilhaft, wenn die erste Ausrichteinheit Element der Festlegeeinrichtung ist und/oder wenn die erste Ausrichteinheit und die Festlegeeinrichtung mindestens ein gleiches gemeinsames Bauteil umfassen. The first alignment unit and the fixing device can comprise components that can be separated from one another and/or are separate. In such a case, the holding frame can include a contact point on a first component of the motor vehicle and can be fixed on a second component by the fixing device. It proves to be advantageous if the first alignment unit is an element of the fixing device and/or if the first alignment unit and the fixing device comprise at least one common component.
Solchenfalls ist der Halterahmen an mindestens drei Stellen an der mindestens einen Komponente festgelegt. Gleichzeitig mit dem Fügen des Halterahmens wird der Halterahmen solchenfalls auch ausgerichtet. In such a case, the holding frame is fixed at at least three points on the at least one component. In such a case, the holding frame is also aligned at the same time as the holding frame is being joined.
Hierdurch ist die Montage der Sensorvorrichtung am Kraftfahrzeug erleichtert. This makes it easier to mount the sensor device on the motor vehicle.
Um zu gewährleisten, dass durch den Halterahmen auch höhere Gewichtskräfte des Sensormittels aufgenommen und bei Betrieb des Kraftfahrzeugs gehalten werden können, umfasst bei einer Weiterbildung der Sensorvorrichtung die Festlegeeinrichtung mindestens ein schrauben- oder bolzenförmiges Festlegemittel, durch das der Halterahmen, insbesondere zusätzlich, an der mindestens einen Komponente oder einer weiteren Komponente des Kraftfahrzeugs festlegbar ist. In order to ensure that higher weight forces of the sensor means can also be absorbed by the holding frame and held during operation of the motor vehicle, in a further development of the sensor device the fixing device comprises at least one screw-shaped or bolt-shaped fixing means by which the holding frame, in particular additionally, can be attached to the at least a component or another component of the motor vehicle can be fixed.
Das Festlegemittel umfasst solchenfalls ein zusätzliches Bauteil. Durch Verwendung des schrauben- oder bolzenförmigen Festlegemittels findet keine Ausrichtung des Halterahmens statt. In such a case, the fixing means comprises an additional component. By using the screw or bolt-like fixing means, there is no alignment of the holding frame.
Um das Ausrichten der Sensorvorrichtung bei der Montage weiter zu verbessern, umfasst eine Weiterbildung der Sensorvorrichtung mindestens eine zweite Ausrichteinheit, durch die das Sensormittel in einer gefügten Anordnung an mindestens drei Berührstellen am Halterahmen berührend anliegt. In order to further improve the alignment of the sensor device during assembly, a development of the sensor device includes at least one second alignment unit, through which the sensor means lies in contact with at least three contact points on the holding frame in a joined arrangement.
Dadurch, dass das Sensormittel an mindestens drei Berührstellen an dem Halterahmen berührend anliegt, ist das Sensormittel bezüglich des Halterahmens schon beim Fügen ausrichtbar. Bei Weiterbildungen der Sensorvorrichtungen kann das Sensormittel durch die zweite Ausrichteinheit an mindestens vier Berührstellen am Halterahmen anliegen. Die Berührstelle kann punktförmig, linienförmig oder flächenhaft ausgebildet sein. Due to the fact that the sensor means is in contact with the holding frame at at least three contact points, the sensor means can already be aligned with respect to the holding frame during assembly. In further developments of the sensor devices, the second alignment unit allows the sensor means to bear against the holding frame at at least four contact points. The point of contact can be in the form of a point, a line or a surface.
Das Ausrichten des Sensormittels bezüglich des Halterahmens lässt sich weiter verbessern, wenn das Sensormittel quer zur einer zweiten Fügerichtung, entlang der das Sensormittel in den Halterahmen anordenbar ist, einen Querschnitt umfasst, der korrespondierend, insbesondere komplementär zu einer Öffnung des Halterahmens ausgebildet ist. The alignment of the sensor means with respect to the holding frame can be further improved if the sensor means comprises a cross section transverse to a second joining direction, along which the sensor means can be arranged in the holding frame, which cross section is designed to correspond to, in particular complement, an opening in the holding frame.
Das Sensormittel kann im Halterahmen beliebig festgelegt werden. Ein Anordnen des Sensormittels im Halterahmen lässt sich vereinfachen, wenn die Sensorvorrichtung mindestens eine Koppeleinrichtung umfasst, durch die das Sensormittel relativ zum Halterahmen werkzeuglos ortsfest festlegbar oder festgelegt ist. The sensor means can be arbitrarily fixed in the holding frame. Arranging the sensor means in the holding frame can be simplified if the sensor device comprises at least one coupling device, by means of which the sensor means can be fixed or fixed in place relative to the holding frame without tools.
Die Koppeleinrichtung kann beispielsweise ein Festlegen des Sensormittels am Halterahmen durch Reibschluss, Kraftschluss und/oder Formschluss realisiert werden. Bei einer Weiterbildung letztgenannter Ausführungsform erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, wenn die Koppeleinrichtung mindestes einen Vorsprung am Halterahmen umfasst, der in oder an einer Aufnahme des Sensormittel, einen Hintergriff bezüglich der zweiten Fügerichtung bildend, festlegbar oder festgelegt ist und/oder dass die Koppeleinrichtung mindestes einen Vorsprung am Sensormittel umfasst, der in oder an einer Aufnahme des Halterahmen, einen Hintergriff bezüglich der zweiten Fügerichtung bildend, festlegbar oder festgelegt ist. For example, the coupling device can be used to fix the sensor means to the holding frame by means of a friction fit, force fit and/or form fit. In a further development of the last-mentioned embodiment, it has proven to be advantageous if the coupling device comprises at least one projection on the holding frame, which can be fixed or is fixed in or on a receptacle of the sensor means, forming a rear grip with respect to the second joining direction, and/or that the coupling device has at least one Includes projection on the sensor means, which is in or on a receptacle of the holding frame, forming a rear grip with respect to the second joining direction, fixed or fixed.
Solchenfalls kann das Sensormittel auf einfache Weise im Halterahmen festgeclipst werden. Die Aufnahme im Halterahmen kann beispielsweise hakenförmig ausgebildet sein oder eine Ausnehmung umfassen. Die Sensorvorrichtung lässt sich bauteilreduziert ausbilden, wenn die zweite Ausrichteinheit Element der Koppeleinrichtung ist und/oder wenn die zweite Ausrichteinheit und die Koppeleinrichtung mindestens ein gleiches gemeinsames Bauteil umfassen. In such a case, the sensor means can easily be clipped into the holding frame. The receptacle in the holding frame can be hook-shaped, for example, or can include a recess. The sensor device can be designed with fewer components if the second alignment unit is an element of the coupling device and/or if the second alignment unit and the coupling device comprise at least one common component.
Solchenfalls wird das Sensormittel unmittelbar beim Fügen des Sensormittels im Halterahmen mit dem Festlegen auch ausgerichtet. Hierdurch ist eine Montage der Sensorvorrichtung weiter erleichtert. In such a case, the sensor means is also aligned immediately when the sensor means is joined in the holding frame with the fixing. This further facilitates assembly of the sensor device.
Schließlich erweist es sich als vorteilhaft, wenn mindestens eine der mindestens einen Komponente eine Streuschreibe oder ein Scheinwerfergehäuse und/oder wenn das Sensormittel einen Radarsensor, insbesondere einen Abstandsregelsensor (ACC) umfasst. Finally, it proves to be advantageous if at least one of the at least one component includes a diffuser or a headlight housing and/or if the sensor means comprises a radar sensor, in particular an adaptive cruise control sensor (ACC).
Die Streuscheibe kann eine Streuscheibe für einen Scheinwerfer des Kraftfahrzeugs, insbesondere des Neigefahrzeugs, umfassen. The diffusing screen can comprise a diffusing screen for a headlight of the motor vehicle, in particular of the tilting vehicle.
Wenn die mindestens eine Komponente eine Streuscheibe umfasst, kann das Sensormittel durch den ausgerichteten Halterahmen präzise bezüglich der Streuscheibe ausgerichtet festgelegt werden. Hierdurch kann die Gefahr einer ungewünschten Reflektion von Licht in Richtung auf das Sensormittel reduziert werden. If the at least one component comprises a lens, the sensor means can be fixed precisely aligned with respect to the lens by the aligned holding frame. As a result, the risk of undesired reflection of light in the direction of the sensor means can be reduced.
Die Streuscheibe kann ebenfalls in einer vordefinierten Anordnung am Kraftfahrzeug angeordnet werden. Dieses kann beispielsweise durch eine Montage an einem Unterbau erfolgen, an dem die Streuscheibe festlegbar ist und der mit einer Tragstruktur des Kraftfahrzeugs verbunden ist. Die Komponente, an der der Halterahmen festlegbar ist, kann solchenfalls den Unterbau umfassen, an dem der Halterahmen festlegbar ist. Hierdurch ist ein Ausrichten des Halterahmens und des Sensormittels bezüglich der Streuscheibe weiter verbessert. The lens can also be arranged in a predefined arrangement on the motor vehicle. This can be done, for example, by mounting it on a substructure to which the lens can be fixed and which is connected to a supporting structure of the motor vehicle. In such a case, the component to which the holding frame can be fixed can comprise the substructure to which the holding frame can be fixed. This further improves alignment of the holding frame and the sensor means with respect to the lens.
Ferner ist es denkbar, dass der Halterahmen an mindestens drei Berührstellen am Unterbau berührend anliegt. Bei einer Weiterbildung kann der Halterahmen in Gänze formschlüssig und flächenhaft an dem Unterbau anliegen. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the holding frame touches at least three contact points on the substructure. In a further development, the holding frame can be in full contact with the substructure in a form-fitting manner and over a large area.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann die Komponente ein Scheinwerfergehäuse umfassen. Solchenfalls ist der Halterahmen bezüglich eines Scheinwerfers ausrichtbar. In another embodiment, the component may include a headlamp housing. In such a case, the holding frame can be aligned with respect to a headlight.
