Description

DISPOSITIVO DE SEGURIDAD PARA PUERTAS DE VEHÍCULOS SAFETY DEVICE FOR VEHICLE DOORS
La presente Patente de Invención se refiere a un dispositivo de seguridad para puertas de vehículos.This Invention Patent refers to a safety device for vehicle doors.
El dispositivo en cuestión se destina a evitar accidentes derivados de la apertura rápida de las puertas de un vehículo entre otros vehículos en movimiento.The device in question is intended to prevent accidents resulting from the rapid opening of the doors of a vehicle among other moving vehicles.
Como es sabido, se producen a menudo accidentes, que a veces resultan fatales, cuando una perdona sale del interior de un automóvil sin tener la precaución de cerciorarse primeramente de que el espacio que queda en la parte lateral del vehículo se halla libre de obstáculos o, lo que es más importante, de que no se halla en las proximidades otro vehículo cuya trayectoria pueda afectar al citado espacio lateral. Esta circunstancia se produce con cierta frecuencia en el caso de calles estrechas, cruces de calles, carreteras, estaciones de servicio y similares.As is known, accidents often occur, which are sometimes fatal, when a pardon leaves the interior of a car without being careful to first make sure that the space left on the side of the vehicle is clear of obstacles or , more importantly, that another vehicle whose trajectory may affect the aforementioned lateral space is not nearby. This circumstance occurs with some frequency in the case of narrow streets, street crossings, roads, service stations and the like.
En el anterior estado de la técnica no existe ningún dispositivo que permita avisar a un ocupante de un vehículo, sea conductor o pasajero acompañante, de la llegada , a las inmediaciones del lugar donde aquella persona se dispone a abandonar su automóvil, de otro vehículo en movimiento que pueda llegar a tocar la puerta abierta del primero y, en su caso, la persona que sale de él.In the prior state of the art there is no device that allows an occupant of a vehicle to be notified, whether it is a driver or an accompanying passenger, of the arrival, near the place where that person is about to leave their car, of another vehicle in movement that can touch the open door of the first and, where appropriate, the person who leaves it.
La presente Patente de Invención proporciona a los automovilistas, conductores y acompañantes, una indicación de que, si es el caso, se aproxima otro vehículo que, por su trayectoria, podría llegar a ponerse en contacto con una puerta abierta o con una persona que en un momento dado esté saliendo del interior de aquél.This Invention Patent provides motorists, drivers and companions with an indication that, if this is the case, another vehicle is approaching which, due to its trajectory, could get in contact with an open door or with a person who a given moment is coming out of the interior of that one.
A tal fin, la nueva Patente establece un tiempo de retraso en la acción de la apertura de una o más puertas , y proporciona al usuario una indicación acústica y/o visual de la circunstancia indicada: presencia y aproximación de otro automóvil, de una motocicleta, de un ciclista, etc., detectado por la existencia de un radar que selecciona el campo, la velocidad de aproximación del vehículo y el volumen del mismo.To this end, the new Patent establishes a delay in the action of opening one or more doors, and provides the user with an acoustic and / or visual indication of the indicated circumstance: presence and approach of another car, of a motorcycle , of a cyclist, etc., detected by the existence of a radar that selects the field, the approach speed of the vehicle and its volume.
Es evidente que el beneficio derivado del aviso obtenido con el dispositivo que se describirá repercute también en el conductor o usuario del vehículo en movimiento cuya presencia es comunicada a la persona que se dispone a salir de su automóvil. En efecto, en caso de colisión, el vehículo incidente o el motorista o ciclista experimentarían por su pane un fuerte golpe, que podría asimismo ser de fatales consecuencias para ellos. Para facilitar la explicación, se acompaña la presente memoria de unos dibujos en los que se ha representado, a título de ejemplo ilustrativo y no limitativo, un caso de realización de un dispositivo de seguridad para puertas de vehículos, según los principios de las reivindicaciones. En los dibujos:It is evident that the benefit derived from the warning obtained with the device to be described also affects the driver or user of the moving vehicle whose presence is communicated to the person who is preparing to leave his car. In fact, in the event of a collision, the incident vehicle or the motorcyclist or cyclist would experience a severe blow due to its pane, which could also be fatal for them. To facilitate the explanation, the present report is accompanied by drawings in which, by way of illustrative and non-limiting example, a case of realization of a safety device for vehicle doors, according to the principles of the claims, has been represented. In the drawings:
La figura 1 representa el nuevo dispositivo de seguridad aplicado a un automóvil con sistema de cierre de puertas centralizado, y la figura 2 es el esquema teórico de la instalación correspondiente.Figure 1 represents the new safety device applied to a car with centralized door closing system, and Figure 2 is the theoretical scheme of the corresponding installation.

La figura 5 representa otro caso de aplicación del dispositivo de seguridad, aquí un automóvil con sistema de bloqueo de la palanca de apertura de cada una de las puertas, las figuras 6, 7 y 8 son detalles de la propia instalación, y la figura 9 es el esquema teórico perteneciente a dicho sistema.Figure 5 represents another case of application of the safety device, here a car with locking system of the opening lever of each of the doors, Figures 6, 7 and 8 are details of the installation itself, and Figure 9 It is the theoretical scheme belonging to this system.
Los elementos designados con números en los dibujos corresponden a las partes indicadas a continuación.The elements designated with numbers in the drawings correspond to the parts indicated below.
Primer caso: Sistema de cierre centralizado.First case: Central locking system.
Se aprovechan todos los mecanismos y elementos del cierre de origen, aunque introduciendo ligeras modificaciones.All the mechanisms and elements of the closure of origin are used, although introducing slight modifications.
Apertura de una puerta: cuando un ocupante del automóvil se dispone a abrir la puerta, esta acción se retrasa un breve espacio de tiempo, por ejemplo, de 3 a 4 segundos cuando el radar ha detectado la aproximación de otro vehículo con riesgo de colisión, y al mismo tiempo se produce el encendido de las luces exteriores de aviso, corrientemente denominadas "warning", y el accionamiento de una señal sonora (zumbador o pitido) y visual (luz de aviso), que llama inmediatamente la atención de la persona que se dispone a salir del vehículo.Opening a door: when an occupant of the car is about to open the door, this action is delayed a short time, for example, from 3 to 4 seconds when the radar has detected the approach of another vehicle with a risk of collision, and at the same time there is the lighting of the exterior warning lights, commonly referred to as "warning", and the activation of an audible (buzzer or beep) and visual (warning light) signal, which immediately catches the attention of the person who He is about to leave the vehicle.
El bloqueo de la puerta se realizaría siempre que el vehículo esté parado. En caso de accidente debe desactivarse el sistema. El desbloqueo se efectúa cuando el vehículo está en marcha.The door lock would be carried out whenever the vehicle is stopped. In case of an accident, the system must be deactivated. Unlocking is done when the vehicle is running.
La apertura de una puerta no desbloquea las demás, es decir, las puertas están individualizadas por lo que respecta al dispositivo de seguridad. El sistema propuesto puede funcionar mediante circuito neumático (con cilindros, distribuidores y válvulas de regulación) o bien mediante motores eléctricos de reducida potencia.The opening of one door does not unlock the others, that is, the doors are individualized with regard to the safety device. The proposed system can be operated by pneumatic circuit (with cylinders, distributors and regulating valves) or by electric motors of reduced power.
La implantación del sistema sólo requiere un cambio de las funciones pilotadas. Cada puerta podrá desbloquearse por la acción de la llave (función convencional) o por la señal enviada una vez transcurrido el tiempo de seguridad.The implementation of the system only requires a change of the piloted functions. Each door can be unlocked by the action of the key (conventional function) or by the signal sent after the safety time has elapsed.
En la figura 1, -1- es la puerta que comporta la maneta de apertura -2- y, junto a ella, la luz de aviso o "warning" -3-, adosados al contrapanel -4- y cubiertos por el embellecedor -8-. El motor bloqueador -5- se relaciona con la maneta -2- mediante la varilla -6- y se oculta con el panel -7-.In figure 1, -1- is the door that carries the opening handle -2- and, next to it, the warning light or -3-, attached to the counterpanel -4- and covered by the trim - 8-. The blocking motor -5- is related to the handle -2- by means of the rod -6- and is hidden with the panel -7-.
En el esquema de la figura 2, correspondiente a la parte eléctrica, -9- es un fusible de protección, -10- el interruptor bloqueador de la puerta, -11- y -12- son los interruptores asociados a las manetas de las puertas delanteras derecha e izquierda, y -13- y -14- los interruptores asociados a las manetas de las puertas traseras derecha e izquierda, respectivamente; -15- y -16- son los motores bloqueadores de las puertas posteriores derecha e izquierda, y -17- y -18- los motores de las puertas anteriores derecha e izquierda respectivamente, -19- es un relé electrónico de mando del dispositivo bloqueador. Segundo caso: Sistema de cierre mediante cerradura asistida. Esta realización , de moderna concepción, comprende un motor electromagnético que cierra o abre una puerta lentamente. En nuestro caso, basta con retrasar adecuadamente el desbloqueo de la cerradura, y para ello se programará convenientemente el microprocesador que gobierna diferentes funciones del vehículo considerado.In the scheme of figure 2, corresponding to the electrical part, -9- is a protection fuse, -10- the door lock switch, -11- and -12- are the switches associated with the door handles front right and left, and -13- and -14- the switches associated with the right and left rear door handles, respectively; -15- and -16- are the right and left rear door blocking motors, and -17- and -18- the right and left front door motors respectively, -19- is an electronic control relay of the blocking device . Second case: Closing system with assisted lock. This embodiment, of modern conception, comprises an electromagnetic motor that closes or opens a door slowly. In our case, it is sufficient to properly delay the unlock of the lock, and for this purpose the microprocessor that governs different functions of the vehicle under consideration will be conveniently programmed.
La implantación del dispositivo, en el presente caso, se diferencia de la anterior en el hecho de que no hace falta dar un segundo impulso para desbloquear la cerradura, y por consiguiente no se produce ningún bloqueo adicional al hecho normal de tener una puerta cerrada. Cuando se acciona la manecilla, sólo se está enviando una señal eléctrica. En caso de avería, la seguridad es la habitual en estos sistemas, es decir, la puerta se puede abrir manualmente.The implantation of the device, in the present case, differs from the previous one in the fact that it is not necessary to give a second impulse to unlock the lock, and consequently there is no additional block to the normal fact of having a closed door. When the hand is operated, only one electrical signal is being sent. In the event of a breakdown, security is common in these systems, that is, the door can be opened manually.
En la figura 3, -20- es la cerradura asistida, -21- el cable mecánico de seguridad y - 22- el cable de alimentación eléctrica. En el esquema de la figura 4, los números -23-, - 24-, -25- y -26- corresponden respectivamente a los motores de cierre de las puertas delanteras y traseras, derechas e izquierdas. Tercer caso: Sistema de bloqueo de la palanca de apertura.In figure 3, -20- is the assisted lock, -21- the mechanical safety cable and - 22- the power supply cable. In the scheme of figure 4, the numbers -23-, -24-, -25- and -26- correspond respectively to the front and rear, right and left door closing motors. Third case: Opening lever lock system.
En los vehículos no provistos de sistema centralizado de cierre de puertas o de un sistema de cerradura asistida, el dispositivo que se describe consiste en impedir que la palanca o manecilla de apertura pueda accionarse antes de haber transcurrido el período de tiempo de seguridad. Este sistema es aplicable a la gran mayoría de vehículos en uso actualmente, salvo casos muy limitados.In vehicles not equipped with a centralized door closing system or an assisted lock system, the device described consists in preventing the opening lever or hand from being operated before the safety period has elapsed. This system is applicable to the vast majority of vehicles currently in use, except for very limited cases.
La implantación de este sistema implica montar un cilindro neumático, alimentado mediante aire comprimido por una pequeña bomba, disponiéndose ambos elementos en la contrapuerta correspondiente. El orden de operaciones es el siguiente: montaje de la cerradura en la contrapuerta, montaje de la carcasa de la palanca o manecilla interior, montaje del cable de la cerradura y de la palanca, colocación del circuito neumático y del cilindro, montaje del revestimiento de la contrapuerta y montaje de la carcasa embellecedora de la palanca o manecilla.The implementation of this system involves mounting a pneumatic cylinder, fed by compressed air by a small pump, both elements being arranged in the corresponding counter door. The order of operations is as follows: mounting of the lock on the counter door, mounting of the housing of the lever or inner hand, mounting of the cable of the lock and the lever, placement of the pneumatic circuit and of the cylinder, assembly of the lining of the counter door and assembly of the cover trim of the lever or hand.
Las operaciones antedichas son de fácil realización, los componentes del dispositivo son perfectamente accesibles en el caso de avería o revisión, y su estructura es relativamente simple.The above operations are easily performed, the device components are perfectly accessible in the event of a breakdown or overhaul, and its structure is relatively simple.
En la figura 5, la cerradura -27- se halla acoplada a la palanca o manecilla -2- por el reenvío -28-, siendo -29- el circuito neumático y -30- el interruptor neumático (válvula) accionado por cable o varilla. En la figuras 6, 7 y 8, -31- es la contrapuerta, -32- la carcasa del mecanismo accionador y -33- el cilindro neumático alimentado por el circuito -29- y gobernado por la válvula -30-.In figure 5, the lock -27- is coupled to the lever or handle -2- by the forwarding -28-, with -29- the pneumatic circuit and -30- the pneumatic switch (valve) actuated by cable or rod . In figures 6, 7 and 8, -31- is the counter door, -32- the actuator mechanism housing and -33- the pneumatic cylinder fed by the circuit -29- and governed by the valve -30-.
En el esquema de la figura 9, los números -34-, -35-, -36- y -37 corresponden a los interruptores asociados a las manecillas -2- de las puertas delanteras y traseras, derechas e izquierdas, respectivamente, -38-, -39-, -40- y -41- son las válvulas neumáticas correspondientes, y -42- el motor de bloqueo neumático de la palanca o manecilla de accionamiento.In the scheme of Figure 9, the numbers -34-, -35-, -36- and -37 correspond to the switches associated with the hands -2- of the front and rear doors, right and left, respectively, -38 -, -39-, -40- and -41- are the corresponding pneumatic valves, and -42- the pneumatic locking motor of the lever or drive handle.
Con este sistema, la puerta sólo se bloquea cuando el vehículo se detiene; durante la marcha se comporta como cualquier vehículo convencional. El dispositivo actúa independientemente en la cuatro puertas del vehículo, de forma que se evitan accidentes por imprevisión o por imprudencias en cualquiera de ellas. Las puertas pueden abrirse siempre desde el exterior, lo cual permitiría la salida de los ocupantes en el caso de fallo del dispositivo.With this system, the door only locks when the vehicle stops; during the march it behaves like any conventional vehicle. The device acts independently on the four doors of the vehicle, so that accidents due to unforeseen or imprudence in any of them are avoided. The doors can always be opened from the outside, which would allow the occupants to leave in case of device failure.
En definitiva, cabe destacar que el sistema se activa cuando se acciona la apertura de las puertas desde el interior del vehículo mediante el accionamiento del sensor de posición del mando correspondiente, pudiendo responder dicho sensor a impulsos electromecánicos, transductor de posición, proximidad de la mano, etc. Con ello se activa el equipo anticolisión. Si no se detecta ningún objeto que pueda interferir en la línea de apertura de la puerta, el sistema no se ve afectado y la apertura de la puerta se realiza normalmente. Por el contrario, si se detecta un objeto que pueda interferir en la línea de apertura de la puerta, el sistema , según su programación, puede bloquear las puertas, señalizando la presencia del objeto referenciado mediante señalización lumínica y/o acústica o bien señalizar únicamente la presencia del objeto detectado.In short, it should be noted that the system is activated when the doors are opened from inside the vehicle by actuating the corresponding control position sensor, which sensor can respond to electromechanical impulses, position transducer, proximity of the hand , etc. This activates the anti-collision equipment. If no object is detected that may interfere with the door opening line, the system is not affected and the door is opened normally. On the contrary, if an object that can interfere with the door opening line is detected, the system, according to its programming, can block the doors, signaling the presence of the referenced object by means of light and / or acoustic signaling or signal only the presence of the object detected.
La invención, dentro de su esencialidad, puede ser llevada a la práctica en otras formas de realización que difieran en detalle de la indicada a título de ejemplo en la descripción y a las cuales alcanzará igualmente la protección que se recaba. Podrá, pues realizarse con los materiales y medios más adecuados por quedar todo ello comprendido en el espíritu de las reivindicaciones. The invention, within its essentiality, can be practiced in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example in the description and to which the protection that is sought will also be achieved. It may, therefore, be carried out with the most appropriate materials and means because all of this is included in the spirit of the claims.
