Abstract

Control device for the field of vision of the exterior rearview mirrors of a motor vehicle. The invention is a system for controlling the field of vision provided by the exterior rear view mirrors and for displaying an area of the existing dead angle. This system is included in the active safety systems of vehicles and has the function of preventing an accident occurring mainly in lane change maneuvers, both in overtaking and in additions to a road. The mechanism is formed by a sectioned mirror, whose outer part makes a movement of abatement, controlled by an electric motor located inside the rearview mirror housing and with a return system to the initial position when the mechanism is deactivated.

Breve descripción de la invenciónBrief Description of the Invention

La presente invención es un conjunto de componentes que tienen la misión de controlar la dirección de parte del campo de visión que proporcionan los espejos retrovisores exteriores al conductor de un automóvil. Para ello, se utiliza un espejo partido, cuya parte exterior puede realizar un movimiento de abatimiento, permitiendo visualizar una zona más alejada del lateral del vehículo y aumentando la seguridad en maniobras de cambio de carril, tanto en adelantamientos como en incorporaciones realizadas a través de carriles de aceleración.The present invention is a set of components that have the mission of controlling part direction of the field of vision provided by the rearview mirrors outside the driver of a car. To do this, a split mirror, whose outer part can perform a movement of despondency, allowing to visualize an area farther from the side of the vehicle and increasing safety in maneuvers of lane change, both in overtaking and incorporation made through acceleration lanes.

El movimiento de la parte exterior del retrovisor se consigue mediante un accionamiento eléctrico controlado electrónicamente y complementado por un mecanismo que devuelve el conjunto a la posición original cuando ha terminado la maniobra.The movement of the outside of the rearview mirror is achieved by an electric drive electronically controlled and complemented by a mechanism that returns the set to the original position when the maneuver.

Descripción detallada de la invenciónDetailed description of the invention

El sistema objeto de la presente invención es un dispositivo que permite controlar el campo de visión proporcionado por los espejos retrovisores exteriores al conductor de un vehículo automóvil. El sistema se instala en el interior de un espejo retrovisor exterior con regulación eléctrica convencional y se basa en el movimiento de abatimiento de la parte externa del espejo, para poder visualizar objetos alejados de la parte lateral del vehículo.The system object of the present invention is a device that allows to control the field of vision provided by the rearview mirrors outside the driver of a vehicle car. The system is installed inside a mirror exterior mirror with conventional electrical regulation and is based in the downward movement of the outside of the mirror, to visualize objects away from the side of the vehicle.

El sistema está integrado por la carcasa (1), propia de los espejos retrovisores exteriores y que únicamente debe contener las fijaciones interiores del motor (6), la parte interior del espejo (2), que permanece fija durante el accionamiento pero que continúa siendo orientable mediante el motor eléctrico (5) y la parte externa exterior del espejo retrovisor (3), y la parte interna de esta misma zona (4), que se le añade la unión con el mecanismo.The system is integrated by the housing (1), own of the exterior rearview mirrors and that only must contain the inner fixings of the engine (6), the inner part of the mirror (2), which remains fixed during operation but which continues to be adjustable using the electric motor (5) and the external outer part of the rearview mirror (3), and the part internal of this same area (4), which adds the union with the mechanism.

El sistema dispone de un motor eléctrico paso a paso (6) que se accionará cuando el conductor se disponga a realizar una maniobra de cambio de carril y se señalice mediante la señal adecuada. Este motor incluye una transmisión para adaptar la velocidad y el par de salida a las necesidades del sistema.The system has an electric motor step by step (6) to be activated when the driver is ready to perform a lane change maneuver and be signaled by the adequate signal. This engine includes a transmission to adapt the speed and output torque to system needs.

El conjunto mecánico se completa con un brazo del motor (7), una biela que une brazo y soporte en el interior del espejo (9) y la pieza de unión a la parte interior del espejo (8), que permite giros para que sea compatible con la regulación eléctrica del conjunto del espejo.The mechanical assembly is completed with an arm of the engine (7), a connecting rod that joins arm and support inside the mirror (9) and the connection piece to the inside of the mirror (8), which allows turns to be compatible with the regulation Electric mirror assembly.

El sistema de unión de ambos tramos de espejo se realiza mediante dos bisagras (10), que contienen un muelle torsional cada una, y que serán los encargado de devolver el conjunto a su posición inicial después de la maniobra de manera automática, sin necesidad de seguir alimentando el motor.The joining system of both mirror sections is made by two hinges (10), which contain a spring torsional each, and they will be responsible for returning the set to its initial position after the maneuver so automatic, no need to continue feeding the engine.
