Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Schließvorrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug. Aus der DE-OS 44 22 906 ist ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Schließsystems für verschließbare Gegenstände bekannt, das den Datenaustausch zwischen einem Schlüsselmodul und einem Schloßmodul beschreibt. Das Schloßmodul besteht aus einer Empfangseinheit, die die Signale des Schlüsselmoduls detektiert, einer Auswerteeinheit sowie einer Steuereinheit, die den Öffnungs- bzw.

From DE-OS 44 22 906 a method for operating a locking system for lockable objects is known which describes the data exchange between a key module and a lock module. The lock module consists of a receiving unit that detects the signals of the key module, an evaluation unit and a control unit that performs the opening or closing process of the vehicle door.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schloßmodul zur Verriegelung oder Entriegelung einer Kraftfahrzeugtür in sicherheits- und fertigungstechnischer Hinsicht zu optimieren.

Broadcast and Receiver electronics of an antenna and a lock electronics access common bus electronics. These components are structurally integrated in a housing for the lock module. If the lock module is housed in a motor vehicle door, its components are extreme
Temperaturschwankungen und Witterungseinflüssen ausgesetzt. Das Gehäuse bietet den empfindlichen Elektronikkomponenten ausreichenden Schutz sowohl gegen widrige Umwelteinflüsse als auch gegen feindliche Angriffe. Da eine Buselektronik sowohl für die Antennenelektronik als auch für die Schloßelektronik zuständig ist, läßt sich der Verdrahtungsaufwand reduzieren. Durch die hohe Integration der Bauelemente können darüber hinaus Stecker eingespart werden. Entsprechende Signale des Bussystems lösen eine Ansteuerung der Schloßmechanik zur Ver- oder Entriegelung insbesondere einer Kraf fahrzeugtür durch das Schloßmσdul aus. Dadurch ist eine gezielte Manipulation von außen erschwert, da ein verschlüsseltes Busprotokoll simuliert werden muß und das Anlegen der Versorgungsspannung allein nicht ausreicht, einen Öffnungs- oder Schließvorgang derExposed to temperature fluctuations and weather influences. The housing offers the sensitive electronic components adequate protection against adverse environmental influences as well as against hostile attacks. Since bus electronics are responsible for both the antenna electronics and the lock electronics, the wiring effort can be reduced. Thanks to the high level of integration of the components, connectors can also be saved. Corresponding signals of the bus system trigger a control of the lock mechanism for locking or unlocking, in particular a motor vehicle door, through the lock module.

Betriebszustände der einzelnen Elektronikkomponenten lassen sich mit Hilfe des Bussystems ohne zusätzlichen Verkabelungsaufwand erfassen und auswerten. Das Schloßmodul kann für mehrere Fahrzeugtypen konzipiert sein, weshalb zunehmende Stückzahlen Kostensenkungen bewirken.To bring about lock mechanics. The structural integration of the components in a lock module allows for quick assembly. Operating states of the individual electronic components can be recorded and evaluated with the help of the bus system without additional wiring. The lock module can be designed for several vehicle types, which is why increasing numbers result in cost reductions.
Durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung möglich. Eine Verbesserung sieht vor, daß in dem Gehäuse ein Versteilantrieb untergebracht ist, der die Schloßmechanik betätigt. Dadurch werden Manipulationsversuche von außen erschwert. Die räumliche Integration verringert den Platzbedarf und den Verkabelungsaufwand. Eine gezielte Manipulation des VerStellantriebs setzt eine Zerstörung des Gehäuses voraus.The measures listed in the dependent claims allow advantageous developments of the device according to the invention. An improvement provides that an adjusting drive is housed in the housing, which actuates the lock mechanism. This makes it difficult to manipulate from outside. The spatial integration reduces the space requirement and the Cabling effort. Targeted manipulation of the actuator requires the housing to be destroyed.
Als zweckmäßige Maßnahme ist anzusehen, das Schloßmodul über einen Antennenanschluß mit einer Antenne elektrisch zu verbinden. In Abhängigkeit von den jeweiligen Einbauverhältnissen läßt sich die Antenne individuell an den Fahrzeugtyp anpassen.An expedient measure is to be seen in that the lock module is electrically connected to an antenna via an antenna connection. Depending on the respective installation conditions, the antenna can be individually adapted to the vehicle type.
In einer zweckmäßigen Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, daß in jeder Tür des Kraftf hrzeugs ein Schloßmodul untergebracht ist, wobei alle Schloßmodule durch das Bussystem vernetzt sind. Ein baulich gleiches Schloßmodul für alle Türen des Kraftfahrzeugs reduziert die Teilevielfalt. Andererseits läßt diese Variante zu, daß die Empfangselektronik die relative Position des Benutzers zu der jeweiligen Türe bestimmt. Die Vernetzung der Schloßmodule durch das Bussystem ermöglicht es, mehrere Türen gezielt zu entriegeln oder zu verriegeln.In an expedient development, it is provided that a lock module is accommodated in each door of the motor vehicle, all lock modules being networked by the bus system. An identical lock module for all doors of the motor vehicle reduces the number of parts. On the other hand, this variant allows the receiving electronics to determine the relative position of the user to the respective door. The networking of the lock modules through the bus system makes it possible to specifically unlock or lock several doors.
In einer Verbesserung ist dem Schloßmodul ein Signalzustand eines Schalters zugeführt. Dadurch läßt sich dieser Signalzustand über das Bussystem an das Steuergerät weitergeben, welches beispielsweise in Abhängigkeit des Signalzustands einen Öffnungs- oder Schließvorgang einleitet .In an improvement, a signal state of a switch is supplied to the lock module. As a result, this signal state can be passed on to the control device via the bus system, which initiates an opening or closing process, for example, depending on the signal state.
In einer erfindungsgemäßen Weiterbildung ist der Verstellantrieb verschlüsselt angesteuert. Der Diebstahlschutz kann durch diese Maßnahme erhöht werden, da das Anlegen der VersorgungsSpannung an den Verstellantrieb allein nicht zu einem Öffnen der Schließmechanik führt.In a further development according to the invention, the adjustment drive is controlled in an encrypted manner. Theft protection can be increased by this measure, since the application of the supply voltage to the adjustment drive alone does not lead to the locking mechanism being opened.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zum Öffnen einer Schließvorrichtung sieht vor, daß in einem ersten Schritt ein Signal zur Einleitung eines ÖffungsVorgangs erzeugt wird, daß in einem zweiten Schritt in Abhängigkeit von dem Signal eine Antenne angesteuert wird, die einen Befehl an einen Transponder sendet, daß in einem dritten Schritt der Transponder eine Antwort erzeugt und diese an die Antenne sendet und daß in einem vierten Schritt in Abhängigkeit von der Antwort die Schloßmechanik angesteuert wird. Ein Entriegelungsvorgang ist ohne Benutzung eines Schlüssels möglich. Der Datenaustausch zwischen Transponder und Antenne verhindert unberechtigtes Öffnen, da die Schloßmechanik nur dann angesteuert wird, wenn die Antwort des Transponders mit der erwarteten übereinstimmt.A method according to the invention for opening a locking device provides that in a first step a signal to initiate an opening process is generated, that in a second step, depending on the signal, an antenna is driven which sends a command to a transponder, that in a third step the transponder generates a response and sends it to the antenna, and that in a fourth step, the lock mechanism is controlled depending on the answer. An unlocking process is possible without using a key. The data exchange between the transponder and antenna prevents unauthorized opening, since the lock mechanism is only activated if the response of the transponder matches the expected one.

Auslösen des Öffnungεvorganges bei Betätigen eines Türgriffs erhöht den Bedienkomfort, da das herkömmliche Aufsperren des Schlosses entfallen kann.Triggering the opening process when a door handle is actuated increases the ease of use, since the conventional unlocking of the lock can be omitted.
Weitere zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen aus weiteren abhängigen Ansprüchen ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung.Further expedient further developments from further dependent claims result from the description.

Übermittelt das Bussystem 12 über die Buselektronik 22 der Sendeelektronik 24 einen Sendebefehl, steuert die Sendeelektronik 24 die Antenne 28 entsprechend an. Empfängt die Antenne 28 hingegen ein Signal, so wandelt die Empfangselektronik 25 dieses in ein Datenformat um, das beispielsweise das Steuergerät 11 nach der Datenübertragung auswerten kann. Der die Schloßmechanik 31 zum Zwecke der Ver- und Entriegelung insbesondere einer Tür betätigende Verstellantrieb 30 kann als Elektroantrieb ausgeführt sein.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit, ein Signal gemäß Schritt 101 zu erzeugen, besteht darin, daß der Transponder 13 an die Antenne 28 ein Signal sendet. Die Empfangselektronik 25 wertet dieses aus und teilt dem Steuergerät 11 mit, daß ein Signal des Transponders 13 empfangen wurde. Stimmt das gesendete Transpondersignal mit dem vom Steuergerät 11 erwarteten Signal überein, startet der ÖffnungsVorgang. Im folgenden Schritt 102 wird ein Befehl an den Transponder 13 gesendet. Es können unterschiedliche Strategien zum Einsatz kommen, welche Antenne 28 der Schloßmodule 19a bis 19e den Befehl an den Transponder 13 senden soll. Eine erste Variante sieht vor, daß die Antenne 28 des Schloßmoduls 19 sendet, der das Signal „Öffnen einleiten" zugeordnet ist. In einer zweiten Variante trifft das Steuergerät 11 zentral in Abhängigkeit von einem dort hinterlegten Algorithmus eine Entscheidung, welche Schloßmodule 19 mit einem Sendebefehl anzusteuern sind. Eine weitere Alternative besteht darin, daß alle Antennen 28 der Schloßmodule 19a bis 19e den Befehl an den Transponder 13 senden. Der Transponder 13 empfängt den Befehl, der eine Prozedur auslöst, eine Antwort zu senden, Schritt 103. Der Transponder 13 stellt die Antwort in Abhängigkeit von dem gesendeten Befehl, von der im Transponder 13 hinterlegten Antworterstellungs-Prozedur und gegebenenfalls von einem fahrzeugspezifischen Schlüsselwort bereit und sendet sie. Die Antenne 28 des Schloßmoduls 19 empfängt die Antwort, die von der Empfangselektronik 25 ausgewertet und auf das Bussystem 12 gegeben wird.Figure 3 describes a possible opening process. At the beginning of the opening process, a "initiate opening" signal is to be generated, step 101. A driver who wants to open or unlock the motor vehicle 10 actuates the switch 32 via a door handle. The bus electronics 22 detects the change in the signal state 33 and shares it it via the bus system 12 to the control unit 11. The change in the signal state 33 triggers a command procedure in the control unit 11 to initiate the opening process described below. A further possibility of generating a signal in accordance with step 101 is that the transponder 13 sends a signal to the antenna 28. The receiving electronics 25 evaluates this and informs the control unit 11 that a signal of the transponder 13 has been received, if the transmitted transponder signal matches the signal expected by the control unit 11, starts the opening process. In the following step 102, a command is sent to the transponder 13. Different strategies can be used as to which antenna 28 of the lock modules 19a to 19e should send the command to the transponder 13. A first variant provides that the antenna 28 of the lock module 19 transmits to which the signal "initiate opening" is assigned. In a second variant, the control unit 11 makes a decision based on an algorithm stored there, which lock module 19 with a send command A further alternative is that all antennas 28 of the lock modules 19a to 19e send the command to the transponder 13. The transponder 13 receives the command which triggers a procedure to send a response, step 103. The transponder 13 provides the response depending on the command sent, on the response generation procedure stored in the transponder 13 and possibly on a vehicle-specific key word is ready and sent, the antenna 28 of the lock module 19 receives the response, which is evaluated by the receiving electronics 25 and sent to the bus system 12 is given.
Die Schloßmechanik 31 wird in Abhängigkeit von der Antwort angesteuert, Schritt 104. Eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsabfrage überprüft die Antwort, ob sie mit der erwarteten übereinstimmt. Sollte dies nicht der Fall sein, wird der ÖffungsVorgang unterbunden. Bei einer zulässigen Antwort entscheidet das Steuergerät 11, welchen Schloßmodulen 19 der Öffnungsbefehl übermittelt wird. Mehrere Möglichkeiten sind denkbar. In einer ersten Variante erhält nur das Schloßmodul 19 der Fahrertür den Öffnungsbefehl, während dieser in einer zweiten Variante an alle Schloßmodule 19a bis l9e ergeht. Das Bussystem 12 übermittelt den Öffnungsbefehl des Steuergeräts 11 der Buselektronik 22, die diesen an die Schloßelektronik 26 weitergibt. Die Schloßelektronik 26 setzt den Befehl in entsprechende Steuersignale für den Verstellantrieb 30 um, der daraufhin die Schloßmechanik 31 im Sinne eines ÖffnungsVorganges betätigt. In einer dritten Variante ist vorgesehen, daß nur das Schloßmodul 19 im Sinne einesThe lock mechanism 31 is activated depending on the answer, step 104. An additional security question checks the answer whether it matches the expected one. If this is not the case, the opening process is prevented. If the answer is admissible, the control unit 11 decides which lock modules 19 the opening command is transmitted to. Several options are possible. In a first variant, only the lock module 19 of the driver's door receives the opening command, while in a second variant it is sent to all lock modules 19a to l9e. The bus system 12 transmits the opening command from the control unit 11 to the bus electronics 22, which sends this to the lock electronics 26 passes on. The lock electronics 26 converts the command into corresponding control signals for the adjustment drive 30, which then actuates the lock mechanism 31 in the sense of an opening process. In a third variant it is provided that only the lock module 19 in the sense of a
Öffnens angesteuert wird, das die Antwort des Transponders 13 empfangen hat.Opening is controlled, which has received the response of the transponder 13.
Das Verfahren eignet sich insbesondere zum Betreiben der eingangs beschriebenen Schließvorrichtung.The method is particularly suitable for operating the locking device described at the beginning.
Um alle Elektronikkomponenten, die bislang räumlich verteilt in einer Tür untergebracht sind, in einem einzigen Modul zu integrieren, vervollständigt die Steuerelektronik eines Fensterheberantriebs das Schloßmodul 19. In order to integrate all electronic components that were previously housed in a door in a single module in a single module, the control electronics of a window lifter drive complete the lock module 19.
