Description

Vehicle with window pane with cover and sun visor {MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING A WINDOW PANE HAVING A SUN VISOR AND A COVER}

The present invention provides a window pane, preferably a windshield having an upper and a lower pane section, a sun visor for the upper pane section and a cover having a lower pane section via a first position such that the cover does not show the upper pane section from the starting position. It relates to a vehicle having a cover provided to be movable to a second position where it is further invisible.

DE 20 2006 011 455 U1 describes a vehicle with a windshield. Known windshields of a vehicle may be divided into an upper pane section facing the vehicle roof and a lower pane section facing away from the vehicle roof. An impermeable and fixed sun visor is provided in a known vehicle and is movable on the front section of the roof. If the driver is blinded by the incident light through the upper pane section, the driver can pivot the light-impermeable sun visor from the non-use position to the use position so that the sun visor does not see the upper pane section. The incident light through the pane section is completely blocked and the driver no longer sees glare. In addition, the cover is provided in the vehicle and is located above the front section of the roof lining in the starting position. Known covers in the form of awning stretchable from the roll can be manually moved from the starting position to a second position where the cover further hides the lower pane section via a first position that prevents the cover from showing the upper pane section. . The driver will move the cover from the starting position to the second position to block incident light passing through the upper and lower pane sections, thereby preventing heating inside the vehicle in the parked vehicle.

The shape according to the prior art described above has proven itself, but has some problems. If suddenly strong incident light is generated through the upper pane section during the movement, the driver must pivot the sun visor from the non-use position to the use position as quickly and manually as possible so as not to cause glare. In this way, the driver is temporarily distracted from the traffic situation, thereby increasing the risk of an accident. If the sun visor of a known vehicle is already in use, the driver will not be blinded by incident light but will permanently limit the driver's field of view through the windshield, causing any traffic signs or similar components near the vehicle to be removed. It can no longer be perceived. For example, when the vehicle is directly in front of a red traffic light, the driver must bend forward to see the change of traffic signal through the lower pane section. The driver can pivot the sun visor back to its unused position for better visibility of the traffic lights, but in the unused position the sun visor can increase the risk of the above mentioned accidents during movement. Therefore, satisfactory handling of the sun visor is not guaranteed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle having a window pane, sun visor and cover, which ensures satisfactory handling of the sun visor and cover, reducing the risk of an accident and improving the monitoring of the vehicle environment by the driver. To allow.

This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are defined by the dependent claims.

The vehicle according to the invention preferably has a window pane which is a windshield. In turn, the window pane has an upper pane section and a lower pane section. A sun visor is provided for the upper pane section to prevent glare of the vehicle occupant due to incident light through the upper pane section. In addition, a cover is provided, which can be moved from the starting position to a second position where the cover further hides the lower pane section via a first position that prevents the cover from showing the upper pane section. The cover, which may then be provided, for example, as an awning extendable from a roll, may be moved to the second position if the vehicle is parked to prevent heating inside the vehicle. The cover can be provided, for example, partially or light-transmissively. According to the invention, the sun visor is provided light-transmitting so that incident light is attenuated through the upper pane section, ie the sun visor does not completely block the incident light through the upper pane section.

When the sun visor is provided at least partially light-transmissive, the vehicle occupant can recognize the surrounding situation of the vehicle through the upper pane section and also the sun visor and the upper pane section. Since the sun visor is provided light-transmitting to attenuate incident light through the upper pane section, the vehicle occupant is prevented from glare from incident light passing through the upper pane section. Even sunvisors movably located inside the vehicle can, on the one hand, be permanently arranged in the use position without glare due to incident light through the upper pane section on the other hand without limiting the driver's field of view. Particular effects of the invention include a combination of sun visor and cover. When excessively strong incident light passes through the upper pane section, the sun visor alone is not sufficient to prevent glare of the vehicle occupant, and the cover can be moved from its starting position to the first position. In the first position, the cover supports a sun panel that blocks incident light through the upper pane section. The cover ensures further attenuation or complete blocking of incident light through the upper pane section at the first position depending on how the cover is provided, for example light-transmissive or light-transmissive, which attenuates incident light. The vehicle occupant or driver becomes active accordingly if the incident light through the upper pane section is particularly strong, which means that better security against the vehicle occupant means that the risk of an accident is reduced. Additionally, the vehicle occupant may move the cover to a second position to prevent heating inside the vehicle if the vehicle is parked.

Basically, the shape according to the invention can be used for any window pane of the vehicle. However, because the driver must be protected from a certain degree of glare and have a good view of traffic conditions, the window pane is a windshield, i.e. a front pane assigned to the driver in a preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention. to be.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the cover can be fixed in the first position. In this way, the cover can be permanently arranged in the first position to complement the sun visor, whereby the driver and / or the vehicle occupant is reliably prevented from glare.

In a preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the cover is provided in light-transparent or light-opaque, which attenuates incident light through the upper pane section and possibly the lower pane section. do. In the first case, the cover can complement the sun visor in the first position so that the incident light through the upper pane section is more strongly attenuated but not completely blocked. In addition, in this case the driver can look outward through the sun visor, cover and upper pane section to recognize the surroundings of the vehicle. In the second case, incident light through the upper pane section is completely blocked and / or reflected due to the cover located in the first position. Accordingly, in the second case, the glare of the driver is entirely prevented due to the incident light through the upper pane section.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the cover is located above the roof lining of the vehicle in the starting position at which the opening is provided, through which the cover can be moved from the starting position to the first or second position. . Preferably the openings are provided at intervals that can be provided in the roof lining or between the roof lining and adjacent vehicle parts, for example a vehicle roof. In addition, the roof lining may consist of individual modules, the cover being located above one of the modules, and preferably connected to the module. This has the advantage that the roof lining module can be mounted together with the cover in the vehicle. Basically, this embodiment has the advantage that the cover is located in the vehicle in a particularly space-saving manner without excessively limiting the freedom of movement of the vehicle occupant.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the cover is provided as an awning which can be unfolded from the roll, in order to provide a particularly simple cover which further ensures simple handling. Or on the above mentioned roof lining module.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the light transparency of the sun visor can be varied. The basic structure of a light-transmissive object whose light transmittance can be varied is known and therefore the prior art mentions this. Basic light-transmissive sun visors with variable light transmittance are known for known light-transmissive sun visors where vehicle occupants do not need to adjust and grip the sun visor as is the case for light-impermeable sun visors. It has a decisive advantage. Thus, the vehicle occupant does not need to grasp upwards to pivot the sun visor when sudden intense incident light passes through the upper pane section. This reduces the risk of an accident in any case in dangerous situations.

In a further particularly preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the light transmission of the sun visor can be set by the vehicle occupant. Therefore, the vehicle occupant can set the light transmittance of the sun visor according to the request of the occupant. It is particularly preferred that the corresponding drive element for setting the light transmittance of the sun visor, for example, is arranged within the reach of the vehicle occupant, so that the drive element can be quickly removed if sudden and intense incident light passes through the upper pane section. Can be reached. As described above, in this way the risk of an accident is significantly reduced.

In a further particular preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the sun visor is provided such that its light transmission can be automatically varied as a function of the intensity of solar radiation. The structure of the sun visor provided in this way can be referred to the prior art. Thus, for example, self-colored glass is known, the light transmittance of which is automatically varied as a function of the intensity of solar radiation. Thus, the sun visor can be made, for example, of self-tinting glass or plastic. In this embodiment, the vehicle occupant no longer needs to react quickly as unexpected strong incident light passes through the upper pane section. This reduces the risk of an accident, such as a dangerous situation.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the light transmission of the sun visor can be reduced upon strong solar radiation and increased on relatively weak solar radiation. Accordingly, the vehicle occupant, in particular the driver, is automatically and reliably protected from the strong solar radiation which dazzles the driver.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, in particular in order to position the sun visor in a space-saving manner, the sun visor is fixed on the upper pane section or provided integrally with the upper pane section. In the second case, the upper pane section thus forms a sun visor concurrently.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the sun visor is fixed on the upper pane section, where it is connected to the upper pane section to be compressed flat against the upper pane section, and is preferably glued thereto. . Thus, the sun visor may be provided as a colored, colorable and / or self-colored film or glass pane that is connected flat to the upper pane section.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the upper pane section, which simultaneously implements the sun visor, is provided with colored, tinted and / or self-painted pane sections.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, a rearview mirror is provided, which is provided on the roof lining, preferably on the side of the roof lining facing towards the interior of the vehicle. Thus, the rearview mirror is not located inside the window pane which blocks the movement of the cover from the starting position to the first or second position. Thus, the cover does not need to be slotted to allow its collision-free movement to the first or second position, rather the cover prevents the vehicle from heating inside the vehicle reliably when parked, and the window It may be preferred to be provided continuously in the transverse direction to allow for the most complete concealment of the pane.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, a camera for recording rear traffic conditions, in order to monitor rear traffic conditions, if the roof lining does not extend far enough forward to allow a suitable shape of the rearview mirror on the roof lining. And a monitor for displaying the images registered by the camera. Whereas a general rearview mirror should always be located at a predetermined position in a vehicle, for example on a windshield or on a roof lining, to monitor traffic behind, the monitor may be located at any position inside the vehicle according to this embodiment. It can be located at. Thus, for example, the shape of the monitor in the area of the dashboard may be formed such that the monitor is not provided as an obstruction to the cover when moving from the starting position to the first or second position. In addition, the monitor can be formed by the window pane itself, the rear traffic state is expressed on the window pane.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the sun visor is located in the vehicle, a gap is provided between the sun visor and the inside of the upper pane section in synchronization, and the cover is in the first or second position from the starting position. Can be moved through the gap. In this embodiment, the sun visor is also positioned to allow unobstructed movement of the cover from the starting position to the first or second position. This gap is opposite toward the opening, through which the cover can be moved from the starting position to the first or second position. For example, the sun visor is fixed on a part of the vehicle, such as a roof lining or an A-column, due to the position of the sun visor spaced from the inside of the upper pane section.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the cover can be supported and / or guided on the side of the sun visor facing the gap. Thus, the sun visor is additionally used when the cover is moved from the starting position to the first or second position to support and / or guide the cover, so that no additional support and / or guide means may be provided in this area. have. In addition, the present embodiment is particularly preferably provided with a flexible awning because the sun visor can reliably prevent tilting or vertical movement during vertical excitation due to the bumpy road. The carriage cover is guided in the direction of movement and supported on the floor.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the sun visor is fastened on the roof lining, i. E. Not moving. As mentioned above, the basic light-transmissive sun visor according to the present invention does not need to pivot to a nonusage position to allow a view through the upper pane section. Thus, no pivot means is required for the sun visor and in this embodiment a particularly simple shape of the sun visor is provided. In addition, the sun visor is arranged permanently and / or fixed in the position of use.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, a rearview mirror fixed on the sun visor is provided. The sun visor providing spacing while at the same time spaced apart from the upper pane section allows the rearview mirror to be positioned particularly far forward without disturbing the cover while moving from the starting position to the first or second position. Preferably, the rearview mirror is fixed on the side of the sun visor facing away from the upper pane section.

As an alternative to the two above embodiments, in a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, the sun visor is fixed on the roof lining so as to be movable, preferably pivotable, and the incident light through the upper pane section It may be moved from the use position to be attenuated to the non use position. Thus, the vehicle occupant can withdraw the protection function of the sun visor as a whole, and the occupant moves the sun visor to an unused position. In this way, the vehicle occupant has a particularly good view through the upper pane section, although additional pivot means must be provided for the sun visor for this purpose. In addition, attachment of the rearview mirror on the sunvisor movable in this manner is no longer allowed and / or undesirable. Instead, when the rearview mirror is again positioned on the roof lining, the sunvisor is then designed so that no collision occurs between the sunvisor and the rearview mirror in the non-use position.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, in order to further reduce the risk of an accident, the cover is only when the vehicle is stopped, the engine or the ignition is turned off and / or the central lock is actuated. This can be moved to the second position. In this way, the vehicle occupant is prevented from unintentionally moving the cover from the first position to the second position during movement, thereby reducing the view through the two pane sections of the window pane from the driver.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, in order to handle the cover more suitably, the cover located in the second position is automatically removed if the engine or the ignition is turned on or the center lock is activated. It is moved to position 1. Thus, the vehicle occupant does not need to manually move the cover located in the second position back to the first position before the vehicle can drive.

In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle according to the invention, a drive unit is provided for moving the cover. For example, such a drive unit may be a double-spindle drive with only one motor or a two-part synchronous spindle drive with a motor and a spindle on each vehicle side. ). The further drive unit may for example comprise a cable pull system. In addition to this motorized drive, a manually operable emergency drive is preferably provided which allows the movement of the cover if the motor drive breaks down. Basically, the drive unit has the advantage that the vehicle occupant does not need to reach upward to the cover located in the vehicle. In addition, corresponding drive elements such as buttons, switches, and the like can be provided within the reach of the vehicle occupant's hand. In this way the handling of the cover is considerably simplified, in particular a particularly rapid response to strong incident light through the upper pane section.

The invention will be described in more detail below on the basis of illustrative embodiments according to the accompanying drawings.

The vehicle 2 has a vehicle body, in particular two B-columns 18 spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction 8 or 10 and two A-columns 16 spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction 8 or 10. With only one of these transverse directions being shown in each case in the figures. The B-column 18 is located behind the A-column 16 in the reverse direction 6. The vehicle body also has a vehicle loop 20 that forms a boundary of the vehicle interior 22 from above in the vertical direction 12. In addition, a back rest of the driver's seat 24 is shown in the figure and is located in the front area of the vehicle interior 22 in front of the dashboard 26.

In the forward direction 4, the vehicle interior 22 is bounded by a window pane used as a windshield 28. The windshield 28 comprises an upper pane section 30 in the vertical direction 12, the upper pane section 32 being the front edge 32 of the vehicle roof 20 in the vertical direction 12. Adjacent to the windshield 28, the windshield 28 comprises a lower pane section 34 adjacent to the upper pane section 30, and the lower pane section 30 in the vertical direction 14. Is located underneath.

In the vehicle 2, the roof lining 36 is fixed on the side of the vehicle roof 20 facing the vehicle interior 22. A receptacle space 38 extending in the transverse direction 8 or 10 is between the inside of the vehicle roof 20 facing the roof lining 36 and the inside of the roof lining 36 facing the vehicle roof 20. The roof lining 36 is provided in the form of a through at the end of the roof lining 36 which faces in the forward direction 4 to be provided. In turn, the storage space 38 has an opening 40 into the vehicle interior 22, which is provided as an interval extending in the transverse direction 8 or 10. This spacing and / or opening 40 is provided between the front edge 32 of the vehicle roof 20 and the front boundary 42 of the roof lining 36. In addition, a cover 44 is provided inside the vehicle 2 in order to hide the upper pane section 30 and possibly the lower pane section 34. In the starting positions shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 7, 8 and 9, the cover 44 is located in the vertical direction 12 in the storage space 38 and above the roof lining 36. In an embodiment according to the invention, the cover 44 is a roll 46 which extends in the transverse directions 8, 10 in the storage space 38 above the roof lining 36 in the vertical direction 12. It is provided as an awning that can be unfolded from. Thus, the axis of rotation 48 of the roll 46 is formed in the transverse direction 8 or 10. The cover 44 provided as unrollable awning is provided in a light-transmissive or light-transmissive manner in such a way as to attenuate the incident light passing through the upper and possibly lower pane sections 30, 34. It is made of a material.

The cover 44 is the first shown in FIGS. 2 and 5 from the starting position shown in FIGS. 1, 4, 7, 8 and 9 by a drive unit (not shown in more detail) for driving the roll 46. May extend through the gap-shaped opening 40 into position. In the first position, the cover 44 hides the upper pane section of the windshield 28 from the inside so that incident light passing through the upper pane section 30 is attenuated or completely absorbed. The cover 44 is fixable in the first position, which can be caused by turning off the drive unit (not shown). In a further step, the cover 44 may extend with the aid of a drive unit (not shown) to a second position beyond the first position shown in FIGS. 3 and 6. In the second position, the cover 44 further hides the lower pane section 34 of the windshield 28 from the inside, and the stretch-side end 50 of the cover 44 abuts the dashboard 26. . In the second position, also incident light through the lower pane section 34 of the windshield 28 is attenuated or completely blocked.

The occupant will move the cover 44 to the second position if the occupant wants to prevent the vehicle interior 22 from heating up because the incident light passes through the windshield 28 when the vehicle 2 is parked. In order to prevent the cover 44 from inadvertently moving from the first position to the second position during movement, the vehicle 2 is stopped, the engine or ignition of the vehicle 2 is turned off and / or the vehicle ( If the central locking of 2) is fixed and / or actuated a control system (not shown in more detail) for the drive unit used to be able to move only from the starting position or from the first position to the second position Is provided. In addition, the control device automatically switches the cover 44 arranged in the second position to the first position if the engine or ignition of the vehicle 2 is switched off or if the central fixation of the vehicle is activated, i.e. the central lock is opened. It is operated together with the drive unit for the cover 44 to move to. The use of the cover 44 is quite convenient in this way.

In addition, the embodiments from FIGS. 1-9 share a feature with one or more sun visors 52 for the upper pane section 30 of the windshield 28. The sun visor 52 is light-transmissive in such a way as to attenuate incident light through the upper pane section 30. In this embodiment, however, the light transparency of the sun visor 52 is not fixed to a specific value, and the light transmittance of the sun visor 52 may vary. Thus, the light transmittance of the sun visor 52 can be set by the vehicle occupant via a drive element (not shown in detail) in the vehicle 2. Therefore, the vehicle occupant can set the light transmittance of the sun visor 52 according to the request thereof. Alternatively or additionally, the light transmission of the sun visor 52 can be automatically varied as a function of the intensity of solar radiation. Thus, a corresponding sensor can be provided for measuring the intensity of solar radiation, and the light transmittance of the sun visor 52 is reduced when the solar radiation is relatively strong, and the light transmittance is automatically automatically when the solar radiation is relatively weak. Is increased. This has the advantage that the vehicle occupant or driver does not need to operate the anti-glare device in case of sudden strong incident light through the upper pane section 30.

The operating mode of the cover 44 and the sun visor 52 is described below according to FIGS. During movement, the cover 44 is initially arranged in the starting position shown in FIG. 1. If solar radiation is increased, the light transmittance of the sun visor 52 is automatically reduced, so that incident light through the upper pane section 30 is reduced, and the glare of the driver is also prevented. If the solar radiation is increased enough so that the sun visor 52 no longer adequately attenuates the incident light through the upper pane section 30, the driver may cover the cover (from the starting position (FIG. 1) to the first position shown in FIG. 2). The drive unit of roll 46 can be actuated to move 44. In the first position, the cover 44 together with the sun visor 52 attenuates incident light through the upper pane section 30 such that the driver's glare is prevented even in the event of intense solar radiation. If the cover 44 is provided light-impermeable, the glare of the driver is completely prevented due to the incident light through the upper pane section 30. If the driver parks the car and turns off the engine or ignition of the vehicle 2, the cover 44 is moved from the first position (FIG. 1) to the second shown in FIG. 3 to prevent the vehicle interior 22 from heating up. Can be moved to a location.

Further features of the second embodiment of the vehicle 2 according to the invention are described below according to FIGS. 4 to 6.

To this end, the sun visor 52 is configured such that the incident light around the pivot axis 58 is attenuated by the upper pane section 30 and from the use position shown in FIG. 7 to the non-use position shown in FIG. 8. It can pivot around a pivot axis 58 formed in the transverse direction 8 or 10. In the non-use position, the sun visor 52 pivots towards the side of the opposing roof lining 36 towards the vehicle interior 22 to achieve a substantially space-saving shape. Thus, the driver can be removed as a whole anti-glare device, the driver pivots the sun visor 52 to the non-use position. However, the rearview mirror 54 may thus not be fixed with the sun visor 52 but again fixed on the side of the roof lining 36 facing towards the vehicle interior 22. It should also be ensured that in this case the sun visor 52 does not collide with the rearview mirror 54 fixed with the roof lining 36 in the non-use position shown in FIG. 8. In addition, the third embodiment has the same advantages as the second embodiment of FIGS. 4 to 6.

Further features of the fourth embodiment of the vehicle 2 according to the invention are described below according to FIG. 9. Substantially the fourth embodiment corresponds to the first embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, whereby only the differences are described below, and the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar parts, and accordingly the aforementioned The description applies.
