Abstract

It is known that if children are transported in a motor vehicle, especially a passenger car, certain safety parameters such as the locking of doors, windows and the child seat are manually or automatically activated or deactivated. In practice, certain safety measures are accidentally not taken or the activation or deactivation of the safety parameters is not optimally adapted to the respective situation. The aim of the invention is therefore to improve such a child safety device in such a manner that the respective status of the safety parameters is easier to monitor and adapt to the respective requirements. To this end, devices (9) are provided in the area of sight and operation of the driver that indicate the parameters of the child-safety device and that are used to adjust said parameters.

Description

Kindersicherung für ein Kraftfahrzeug Child lock for a motor vehicle
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Kindersicherung für ein Kraftfahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine derartige Kindersicherung ist bekannt durch die DE 4442530 A1.The invention is based on a child safety device for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a child safety device is known from DE 4442530 A1.
In einem Kraftfahrzeug, insbesondere einem Pkw, ist es bekannt, bei einem aktivierten Kindersitz im Fahrzeug manuell oder auch automatisch verschiedene Maßnahmen vorzunehmen, die der Sicherheit des Kindes dienen und unerwünschte oder gefährliche Tätigkeiten des Kindes im Fahrzeug verhindern. Ein Beispiel dafür ist die Verriegelung der Türen in dem Sinne, daß die Türen vom Innenraum des Fahrzeugs nicht geöffnet werden können. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, das manuelle oder elektrische Öffnen und Schließen eines Fensters zu sperren, damit das Kind nicht in unerwünschter Weise während der Fahrt das Fenster öffnen und sich hinauslehnen kann. Es ist auch bekannt, bei aktiviertem Kindersitz einen vor dem Kind angeordneten Airbag zu deaktivieren.In a motor vehicle, in particular a car, it is known to carry out various measures, manually or automatically, with an activated child seat in the vehicle, which serve the safety of the child and prevent undesired or dangerous activities of the child in the vehicle. An example of this is the locking of the doors in the sense that the doors cannot be opened from the interior of the vehicle. Another possibility is to block the manual or electrical opening and closing of a window so that the child cannot undesirably open the window and lean out while driving. It is also known to deactivate an airbag arranged in front of the child when the child seat is activated.
Bei derartigen Kindersicherungen kann es vorkommen, daß bestimmte Maßnahmen vergessen werden, das heißt ein für die Sicherheit des Kindes wichtiger Parameter nicht eingestellt oder verändert wird. Andererseits kommt es häufig vor, daß ohne die Anwesenheit von Kindern im Fahrzeug Parameter einer Kindersicherung in unerwünschter oder nachteiliger Weise aktiviert sind, zum Beispiel eine erwachsene Person im Fond des Fahrzeuges wegen der noch aktivierten Türverriegelung das Fahrzeug nicht ohne weiteres verlassen kann.With such child safety devices, it can happen that certain measures are forgotten, that is, an important parameter for the safety of the child is not set or changed. On the other hand, it often happens that, without the presence of children in the vehicle, parameters of a child lock are activated in an undesirable or disadvantageous manner, for example an adult person in the rear of the vehicle cannot easily leave the vehicle because the door lock is still activated.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kindersicherung der beschriebenen Art so weiterzubilden, daß das Aktivieren von für die Sicherheit wichtigen Funktionen weniger leicht vergessen wird, Nachteile einer aktivierten Kindersicherung weitestgehend vermieden werden und insbesondere die Anpassung der Kindersicherung an die jeweilige spezielle Situation erleichtert und verbessert wird. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The invention has for its object to develop a child lock of the type described so that the activation of important functions for safety is less easily forgotten, disadvantages of an activated child lock are largely avoided and in particular the adaptation of the child lock to the particular situation easier and improved becomes. This object is achieved by the invention specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung wird also dem Fahrer die Möglichkeit gegeben, auch während der Fahrt alle Parameter und Funktionen einer Kindersicherung auf einfache Weise zu überwachen, im Bedarfsfall einzustellen, zu ändern oder der jeweilig vorliegenden speziellen Situation optimal anzupassen. Dadurch kann die Gesamtsicherheit für das Kind erhöht werden, da eine für die Sicherheit wichtige, jedoch nicht optimal eingestellte Funktion unverzüglich dem Fahrer angezeigt wird und von diesem auch während der Fahrt korrigiert werden kann. Wenn zum Beispiel im Fond nur Erwachsene sitzen, die Kindersicherung in Form einer Türverriegelung aber noch von einer vorangehenden Fahrt mit einem Kind aktiviert ist, kann der Fahrer die Türverriegelung für das Aussteigen der Personen aus dem Fond aufheben, ohne das Fahrzeug verlassen zu müssen. Die Möglichkeit der Betätigung oder Änderung der Sicherheitsfunktionen durch den Fahrer kann auch im Falle eines Unfalls vorteilhaft sein, indem der Fahrer zum Beispiel die Türverriegelungen deaktiviert. Der Fahrer kann auch die jeweiligen Sicherungsfunktionen an das Alter eines mitfahrenden Kindes besser anpassen, wenn zum Beispiel eine Sicherungsfunktion aktiviert, jedoch in Anbetracht des Alters des mitfahrenden Kindes nicht notwendig oder sogar nachteilig ist. Wenn zum Beispiel im Fond Personen sitzen, deren Verhalten unberechenbar ist, zum Beispiel kranke oder desorientierte Erwachsene, kann der Fahrer auch bei nicht aktiviertem Kindersitz bestimmte, zur Sicherheit der Personen nützliche Funktionen wie zum Beispiel die Tür- und Fensterverriegelung aktivieren.In the solution according to the invention, the driver is thus given the opportunity to monitor all parameters and functions of a childproof lock in a simple manner even while driving, to adjust or change them if necessary, or to optimally adapt them to the particular situation in question. The overall safety for the child can thereby be increased, since a function that is important for safety but is not optimally set is immediately displayed to the driver and can be corrected by the driver even while driving. If, for example, only adults are sitting in the rear, but the child lock in the form of a door lock is still activated from a previous trip with a child, the driver can release the door lock to get people out of the rear without having to leave the vehicle. The possibility of the driver actuating or changing the safety functions can also be advantageous in the event of an accident, for example by the driver deactivating the door locks. The driver can also better adapt the respective safety functions to the age of a traveling child, for example if a safety function is activated, but is not necessary or even disadvantageous in view of the age of the traveling child. For example, if there are people in the rear whose behavior is unpredictable, such as sick or disoriented adults, the driver can activate certain functions that are useful for the safety of people, such as the door and window lock, even when the child seat is not activated.
Vorzugsweise ist im oder unter dem Armaturenbrett im Bereich des Fahrersitzes oder auf dem Lenkrad ein Anzeige- und Bedienfeld vorgesehen, das für jeden einzelnen Parameter, wie zum Beispiel die Türverriegelung, eine Anzeige für die Aktivierung des Parameters, eine Anzeige für die Deaktivierung des Parameters und ein Betätigungsmittel für die Änderung des Parameters enthält. Diese Anzeige- und Betätigungsmittel können zusätzlich auch an anderen Plätzen des Fahrzeugs vorgesehen sein. Das kann zum Beispiel vorteilhaft sein, wenn der Fahrer durch die Verkehrssituation zu stark in Anspruch genommen ist oder bei einem Unfall nicht mehr in der Lage ist, wichtige Maßnahmen vorzunehmen. Vorzugsweise wird bei Betätigung eines Einstellmittels für einen bestimmten Parameter ein Quittiersignal über die erfolgreich durchgeführte Einstellung oder Änderung des Parameters zu den Anzeigemitteln beim Fahrer zurückübertragen und dort angezeigt. Dadurch wird vermieden, daß bei der Betätigung eines Einstellmittels für den Fahrer unerkennbar die gewünschte Einstellung, zum Beispiel Arretierung des Kindersitzes, in Wirklichkeit nicht erfolgt ist. Durch die Quittierung in Form eines optischen oder akustischen Signals wird dem Fahrer die Gewißheit vermittelt, daß seine Einstellung erfolgreich durchgeführt wurde.Preferably, a display and control panel is provided in or under the dashboard in the area of the driver's seat or on the steering wheel, for each parameter, such as the door lock, a display for activating the parameter, a display for deactivating the parameter and contains an actuator for changing the parameter. This display and actuation means can also be provided in other places of the vehicle. This can be advantageous, for example, if the driver is too busy due to the traffic situation or is no longer able to take important measures in the event of an accident. When actuating a setting means for a specific parameter, an acknowledgment signal about the successfully carried out setting or change of the parameter is preferably transmitted back to the display means at the driver and displayed there. This avoids the fact that when a setting means is actuated by the driver, the desired setting, for example locking the child seat, has not actually been made. The acknowledgment in the form of an optical or acoustic signal gives the driver the certainty that his setting has been carried out successfully.
In der Praxis kann es vorkommen, daß eine für die Sicherheit wichtige Funktion für eine spezielle Situation in sinnvoller Weise deaktiviert wird, jedoch später in unerwünschter Weise inaktiviert bleibt. Um dieses zu vermeiden, können Mittel vorgesehen sein, die die deaktivierte Funktion nach einer vorgegebenen Zeit, zum Beispiel mehreren Stunden, selbsttätig wieder aktivieren.In practice, it can happen that a function that is important for security is appropriately deactivated for a special situation, but later remains deactivated in an undesirable manner. To avoid this, means can be provided which automatically reactivate the deactivated function after a predetermined time, for example several hours.
Die ständige Anzeige für die Aktivierung oder Deaktivierung der einzelnen Parameter während der Fahrt kann für die Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers nachteilig sein, insbesondere bei längeren Fahrten, bei denen ohnehin keine Änderung der Parameter erfolgt. Deshalb können Mittel vorgesehen sein, mit denen der Fahrer die gesamten Anzeigemittel abschalten kann.The constant display for the activation or deactivation of the individual parameters during the journey can be disadvantageous for the driver's attention, in particular for longer journeys in which the parameters are not changed anyway. Therefore, means can be provided with which the driver can switch off the entire display means.
Ein Kindersitz wird in der Regel am Fahrzeug, zum Beispiel auf der hinteren Sitzbank, durch formschlüssige Rastmittel arretiert. Die Mittel können mit einer elektrischen Steckverbindung kombiniert sein, die Informationen über die einwandfreie Verriegelung zu den Anzeigemitteln beim Fahrer überträgt. Dann kann zum Beispiel dem Fahrer angezeigt werden, daß der Kindersitz nicht an allen Verriegelungspunkten, in der Regel zwei zu jeder Seite, einwandfrei verriegelt ist. Zusätzlich können in der Bedieneinheit beim Fahrer Mittel zur elektromechanischen Fernverriegelung durch den Fahrer über ein elektromechanisches Steuergerät vorgesehen sein.A child seat is usually locked on the vehicle, for example on the rear seat, by means of positive locking means. The means can be combined with an electrical plug connection which transmits information about the correct locking to the display means for the driver. Then, for example, the driver can be shown that the child seat is not properly locked at all locking points, usually two on each side. In addition, means for electromechanical remote locking by the driver via an electromechanical control unit can be provided in the operator's control unit.
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht in folgendem: Die Verriegelung des Sicherheitsgurtes der hinteren Sitze ist mit der Kindersicherungsverriegelung in der zugehörigen Tür gekoppelt. Wenn eine Person auf einem hinteren Sitz angegurtet ist, wird die Kindersicherung in der zugehörigen Tür automatisch aktiviert und beim Lösen des Sicherheitsgurtes automatisch deaktiviert. Diese Lösung ist anwendbar sowohl für den eigentlichen Sicherheitsgurt für Erwachsene als auch für den davon getrennten Sicherheitsgurt für den Kindersitz. Die ausgelöste automatische Türverriegelung kann dann in bestimmten Fällen bei Erwachsenen an sich nicht notwendig sein. Sie stört aber auch nicht, weil sie vor dem Aussteigen der Person durch die dann unbedingt erforderliche Aufhebung der Angurtung zwangsläufig wieder deaktiviert wird.A further development of the invention consists in the following: The locking of the seat belt of the rear seats is coupled to the child safety lock in the associated door. If a person is seated in a rear seat, the child lock in the associated door is automatically activated and automatically deactivated when the seat belt is released. This solution is applicable for both the actual seat belt for adults as well as the separate seat belt for the child seat. The triggered automatic door lock may not be necessary in adults in certain cases. However, it does not bother you either, because it is inevitably deactivated again before the person gets out of the car by lifting the seat belt, which is then absolutely necessary.

Die Wirkungsweise ist folgende: Verschiedene Bauteile oder Vorrichtungen in dem Pkw 1 , die eine Kindersicherung darstellen oder für diese einstellbar sind, sind über in Figur 1 nicht dargestellte Steuerleitungen mit der Steuereinheit 7 verbunden. Alle Steuerleitungen sind bidirektional ausgebildet und können somit Signale über den Zustand einer Kindersicherung an die Steuereinheit 7 liefern und in entgegengesetzter Richtung Steuersignale für die Einstellung oder Änderung von Parametern an die einzelnen Bauteile oder Vorrichtungen für eine Kindersicherung übertragen. Die Signale über den Zustand der einzelnen Kindersicherungsparameter werden über die Leitung 8 zu dem Anzeige- und Bedienfeld 9 übertragen und dort angezeigt. Der Fahrer auf dem Fahrersitz 4 kann also auch während der Fahrt erkennen, ob zum Beispiel die Türverriegelung oder die Verriegelung der Fensterbetätigung aktiviert oder deaktiviert ist, ob der Kindersitz 6 einwandfrei an der Rückbank 5 verriegelt ist, ob sich ein aktivierter Airbag vor dem Kind befindet oder dergl.. Ebenso kann der Fahrer durch Betätigungselemente auf dem Anzeige- und Bedienfeld 9 eingreifen und zum Beispiel eine Türverriegelung aktivieren, die Befestigung des Kindersitzes auslösen oder korrigieren oder einen Airbag deaktivieren. Dabei werden entsprechende Steuersignale von dem Anzeige- und Bedienfeld 9 über die Leitung 8, die Steuereinheit 7 und die übrigen Leitungen an das entsprechende Bauteil übertragen.The mode of operation is as follows: Various components or devices in the car 1, which represent a child safety lock or can be adjusted for it, are connected to the control unit 7 via control lines (not shown in FIG. 1). All control lines are bidirectional and can thus supply signals about the state of a child lock to the control unit 7 and transmit control signals for setting or changing parameters to the individual components or devices for a child lock in the opposite direction. The signals about the state of the individual childproofing parameters are transmitted via line 8 to the display and control panel 9 and displayed there. The driver in the driver's seat 4 can thus also recognize while driving whether, for example, the door lock or the window actuation lock is activated or deactivated, whether the child seat 6 is properly locked on the rear seat 5, whether there is a lock activated airbag is in front of the child or the like. Likewise, the driver can intervene by actuating elements on the display and control panel 9 and, for example, activate a door lock, trigger or correct the fastening of the child seat or deactivate an airbag. Corresponding control signals are transmitted from the display and control panel 9 via the line 8, the control unit 7 and the other lines to the corresponding component.
Figur 2 zeigt die in Figur 1 beschriebene Anordnung anhand eines Funktionsschaubildes. Von der Fahrzeugtür 10 werden Signale über den Zustand der Türverriegelung und der Fensterverriegelung über die bidirektionale Leitung 11 zu der Steuereinheit 7 übertragen. Ebenso kann die Steuereinheit 7 vom Bedienfeld 9 kommende Signale zu der Fahrzeugtür 10 übertragen, um zum Beispiel eine Türverriegelung oder Fensterverriegelung zu aktivieren oder zu deaktivieren. In ähnlicher Weise überträgt die bidirektionale Leitung 12 Signale über den Zustand der Verriegelung des Kindersitzes 6 an der Rückbank 5 zu dem Anzeigefeld 9 und ggf. Steuersignale für eine elektromechanische Verriegelung des Kindersitzes 6 an der Rückbank 5 von dem Bedienfeld 9 über die Steuereinheit 7 zu der elektromechanisch steuerbaren Verriegelung. Als Beispiele sind noch dargestellt ein Airbag (AB) 13 und ein Anschnallgurt (AG) 14 für den Kindersitz 6, die ebenfalls überwacht werden und ggf. eine Maßnahme durch den Fahrer auslösen.Figure 2 shows the arrangement described in Figure 1 using a functional diagram. Signals about the state of the door locking and the window locking are transmitted from the vehicle door 10 to the control unit 7 via the bidirectional line 11. Likewise, the control unit 7 can transmit signals coming from the control panel 9 to the vehicle door 10, for example to activate or deactivate a door lock or window lock. Similarly, the bidirectional line 12 transmits signals about the state of the locking of the child seat 6 on the back seat 5 to the display panel 9 and possibly control signals for an electromechanical locking of the child seat 6 on the back seat 5 from the control panel 9 via the control unit 7 to the Electromechanically controllable locking. An airbag (AB) 13 and a seat belt (AG) 14 for the child seat 6 are also shown as examples, which are also monitored and possibly trigger a measure by the driver.
Der Kindersitz 6 enthält selbst noch ein optisches Anzeigemittel 15, das von der Steuereinheit 7 angesteuert wird und anzeigt, daß der Kindersitz 6 einwandfrei an der Rückbank 5 verriegelt ist, oder auch eine Warnanzeige betätigt, die eine mangelhafte Verriegelung anzeigt. Eine Sicherheitsgurtverriegelung für die Rückbank 5 oder den Kindersitz 6 kann über die Steuereinheit 7 so mit der Fahrzeugtür gekoppelt sein, daß bei einem geschlossenen Sicherheitsgurt automatisch die Türverriegelung oder Fensterverriegelung der Fahrzeugtür 10 aktiviert und beim Lösen des Sicherheitsgurtes automatisch deaktiviert wird.The child seat 6 itself also contains an optical display means 15, which is controlled by the control unit 7 and indicates that the child seat 6 is locked properly on the back seat 5, or actuates a warning indicator which indicates a defective locking. A seat belt lock for the rear seat 5 or the child seat 6 can be coupled to the vehicle door via the control unit 7 in such a way that the door lock or window lock of the vehicle door 10 is automatically activated when the seat belt is closed and is automatically deactivated when the seat belt is released.
Figur 3 zeigt die Anordnung gemäß Figur 1 und 2 aus der Sicht des Fahrers mit dem die üblichen Bedienelemente und Meßinstrumente enthaltenden Armaturenbrett 2, dem Lenkrad 3 und dem im Bereich des Armaturenbretts 2 angeordneten Anzeige- und Bedienfeld 9. Das Bedienfeld 9, das zur Vereinfachung nur für einen Sicherheitsparameter dargestellt ist, enthält eine grüne Leuchtdiode, sogenannte LED 16, die den aktivierten Zustand eines Parameters anzeigt, und eine rote LED 17, die den deaktivierten Zustand des Parameters anzeigt. Mit der Taste 18 kann der Fahrer über die Leitung 8 den Parameter einstellen oder ändern, zum Beispiel eine deaktivierte Türverriegelung aktivieren oder eine aktivierte Türverriegelung deaktivieren, ohne anhalten oder das Fahrzeug verlassen zu müssen.Figure 3 shows the arrangement of Figures 1 and 2 from the driver's perspective with the dashboard 2 containing the usual controls and measuring instruments, the steering wheel 3 and the display and control panel 9 arranged in the area of the dashboard 2. The control panel 9, for simplification Only shown for a safety parameter contains a green light-emitting diode, so-called LED 16, which indicates the activated state of a parameter, and a red LED 17, which indicates the deactivated state of the parameter. Using the button 18, the driver can set or change the parameter via line 8, for example activate a deactivated door lock or deactivate an activated door lock without having to stop or leave the vehicle.
Figur 4 zeigt eine spezielle Ausführung des Anzeige- und Bedienfelds 9 mit vier Bereichen A, B, C, D für die Sicherheitsparameter Türverriegelung, Fensterverriegelung, Kindersitzbefestigung und Airbag. Jeder dieser Parameter wird in einem der Bereiche A- D angezeigt und kann dort aktiviert/deaktiviert und geändert werden.Figure 4 shows a special version of the display and control panel 9 with four areas A, B, C, D for the safety parameters of door locking, window locking, child seat attachment and airbag. Each of these parameters is displayed in one of the areas A-D and can be activated / deactivated and changed there.
Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen eine praktische Ausführungsform für die Zustandsmeldung und die Betätigung der Verriegelung des Kindersitzes 6 an der Rückbank 5. Wie durch die Einzelheit S dargestellt, ist der Verriegelung eine elektrische Steckverbindung aus einem Steckerteil 19 am Kindersitz 6 und einer Steckbuchse 20 an der Rückbank 5 zugeordnet. Die Steckbuchse 20 ist wie in Figur 2 über die bidirektionale Leitung 12 mit der Steuereinheit 7 verbunden. Die Leitung 12 überträgt somit Signale über den Zustand der Verriegelung des Kindersitzes 6 an der Rückbank 5 zu dem Anzeigefeld 9 und ggf. Steuersignale für die Aktivierung, Deaktivierung oder Korrektur der Verriegelung des Kindersitzes 6 an der Rückbank 5 von dem Bedienfeld 9 zu der elektromechanisch steuerbaren Verriegelung. Figures 5 and 6 show a practical embodiment for the status message and the actuation of the locking of the child seat 6 on the rear seat 5. As shown by the detail S, the locking is an electrical connector from a plug part 19 on the child seat 6 and a socket 20 on the Back seat 5 assigned. As in FIG. 2, the plug socket 20 is connected to the control unit 7 via the bidirectional line 12. The line 12 thus transmits signals about the state of the locking of the child seat 6 on the back seat 5 to the display panel 9 and possibly control signals for activating, deactivating or correcting the locking of the child seat 6 on the back seat 5 from the control panel 9 to the electromechanically controllable Interlock.
