Definitions
- the present invention relates to active impact protection for a knee / lower leg area of a vehicle occupant in a motor vehicle, in particular in a passenger car, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- a drive is provided which makes it possible to move the impact element between a retracted passive position and an extended active position. This means that the impact element actively approaches the vehicle occupant or his knee / lower leg area in the event of a crash. As a result, there is a greater distance available for braking the respective vehicle occupant, as a result of which the effective braking forces and thus the risk of injuries can be reduced.
- a passive impact protection which has an energy absorbing impact element.
- the impact element In contrast to active impact protection, in the case of passive impact protection the impact element essentially remains in its assembled position, so that the respective vehicle occupant comes into contact with the stationary impact element at a relatively high relative speed in the event of a crash.
- the stationary impact element is formed by a cover of a footwell airbag.
- the present invention is concerned with the problem of specifying an improved embodiment for active impact protection of the type mentioned at the outset, which can in particular be optically integrated into the vehicle interior.
- the invention is based on the general idea of designing a cover of a glove compartment as an actively adjustable impact element.
- This construction gives the glove compartment cover, which is referred to below as a baffle cover, an additional function that is important for personal safety. Since a glove compartment cover is already integrated as a design element in the interior of a vehicle interior, the construction according to the invention results in an optically advantageous integration of the impact element into the vehicle interior.
- a drive device for adjusting the baffle cover can in principle be designed such that any suitable adjustment kinematics result for the baffle cover.
- the drive device is designed such that it moves the baffle cover essentially bidirectionally and one-dimensionally. In the event of a crash, this results in a constant orientation of the braking or deceleration forces applied by the impact cover in terms of their direction of action.
- the drive device can have a drive train for moving the baffle cover, which is designed such that it enables the baffle cover to be moved into its passive position when a force acts on the baffle cover from the outside and acts in the direction of retraction, the drive device at least one Has damper element which is inserted into the drive train and interacts with it in such a way that it dampens a force which acts on the baffle cover from the outside and drives the baffle cover in its passive position.
- the deceleration / braking force generated by the impact protection in the event of a crash depends on the speed at which the vehicle occupant drives the impact cover with its knees and / or lower legs in its direction of entry.
- the glove box can have a storage container which can be adjusted by means of the drive device of the baffle cover together with the baffle cover between a retracted closed position in which the storage container is closed and in which the baffle cover is in its passive position and an extended open position in which the storage container is accessible from the vehicle interior.
- the drive device receives an additional function in which it enables an increase in comfort.
- the drive device moves the baffle cover together with the storage container in a glove specialist company, while for the activation of the baffle cover it extends independently of the storage container.
- This measure allows the baffle cover to be extended particularly quickly in the event of a crash, since the mass of the storage container and the contents accommodated therein do not have to be moved when the baffle cover is activated.
- the drive device can extend the baffle cover to a predetermined preventive position if the passenger has not fastened a seat belt while the vehicle is in operation.
- a corresponding control of the impact protection can recognize this special situation, for example, from the fact that a seat occupancy detection of the front passenger seat senses the presence of a front passenger, a corresponding sensor system reports the closed state of all vehicle doors, the vehicle engine is started, but a belt tongue is not locked in the associated belt buckle.
- the preventive position which expediently lies between the passive position of the maximally extended extended position of the baffle cover, the distance to be overcome in the event of a crash is shortened until the vehicle occupant hits the baffle cover, thereby providing an absorption path. This can reduce the risk of injury, at least at lower speeds.
- the baffle cover can release the view of a note visually recognizable by the passenger for putting on the seat belt when moving into its preventive position.
- This note can be formed, for example, by a visually conspicuous sign, in particular with lighting, and thus point out to the passenger that it could be advantageous for his health to wear the seat belt.
- the preventive position can be specifically selected so that the impact cover disturbs the passenger at least aesthetically, so that for this reason alone he receives an incentive to properly fasten the seat belt.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 shows a perspective view as in FIGS. 1 to 4, but from a different viewing direction with a view of a drive device of the impact protection.
- an active impact protection 1 comprises an impact element 2, which according to the invention is formed by a cover of a glove compartment 3.
- the baffle element 2 is therefore also referred to below as the baffle cover 2.
- the impact protection 1 is active because its impact element 2, ie the impact cover 2, is moved from a retracted passive position shown in FIG. 1 into a passive position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 by means of a drive device 4 explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. extended active position ver ⁇ is mobile.
- the impact protection 1 serves to protect a knee and / or lower leg area due to its arrangement a vehicle occupant, not shown here, namely a passenger, in a motor vehicle, preferably in a passenger car.
- the impact protection 1 serves to provide additional support in the knee and lower leg area in order to have a positive overall impact on the occupant kinematics in the event of a crash.
- the glove compartment 3 is usually located in a motor vehicle on the passenger side and is integrated in the shape of an instrument panel 5. Since the impact element 2 forms the lid of the glove compartment 3, the impact protection 1 or its impact element 2 is thus optically integrated into the dashboard 5, that is to say into the interior of the vehicle interior. When extending, the baffle cover 2 moves towards the passenger in accordance with an arrow 6.
- the drive device 4 is designed in such a way that a bidirectional, that is to say one-dimensional or linear, adjustment movement results for the impact cover 2.
- a distance between the retracted baffle cover 2 and the knee or lower leg region to be protected can be shortened particularly quickly in the event of a crash.
- the baffle cover 2 an adjustment kinematics in which when it is extended it additionally pivots about a swivel axis that runs transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and horizontally, in order to thereby improve the support effect on the knee / lower leg region.
- An embodiment is preferred in which the baffle cover 2 is activated preventively, that is to say in the event of a possible accident, in particular as a function of a pre-crash sensor system.
- a pre-crash sensor system works when predetermined boundary conditions are present, for example from driving namik and environment sensing are determined from an increased crash probability.
- boundary conditions can be, for example: the simultaneous activation of an electronic stability system and an electronic brake assistance system and / or the detection of an obstacle by means of a distance measuring device, with which a collision appears unavoidable due to the vehicle speed and direction of travel.
- the baffle cover 2 In the event that the baffle cover 2 is activated as a function of a pre-crash sensor system, the baffle cover 2 must be moved into its active position comparatively quickly.
- the baffle cover 2 is equipped with a contact sensor system, not shown here, which is designed so that it extends when the baffle cover is extended 2 detects a contact of the baffle cover 2 with an obstacle, a control of the drive device 4 being designed such that the extension movement is stopped and in particular locked in the event of such a contact.
- the baffle cover 2 extends to a predetermined maximum extended end position, in which experience has shown that there is only a very small distance between the knee / lower leg area the passenger seat seated passenger and the baffle cover 2 prevails.
- the drive device 4 it is expedient to design the drive device 4 in such a way that it moves the baffle cover 2 back into the passive position according to FIG. 1 if the suspected crash does not occur. This deactivation of the baffle cover 2 then takes place at a retraction speed which can be significantly lower than the extension speed for activating the baffle cover 2.
- the baffle cover 2 serves as a mobile baffle protector 1 which moves with the knee / lower leg region supported on it in the direction of travel and thereby absorbs kinetic energy.
- the baffle cover 2 is also advantageously designed such that it forms a stationary, energy-absorbing, deformable impact protection, at least in its passive position.
- the baffle cover 2 can be designed as such as a conventional passive baffle element.
- the glove compartment 3 has a storage container 7, which is designed in the manner of a drawer open at the top and is adjustable in the same direction as the baffle cover 2.
- a special feature is seen in the fact that the adjustment movement of the storage container 7 takes place on the one hand with the same drive device 4 as the adjustment of the baffle cover 2, and on the other hand can be carried out together with the baffle cover 2. Accordingly, the storage container 7 can be adjusted together with the baffle cover 2 between a retracted closed position according to FIG. 1 and an extended open position according to FIG. 3. In the closed position, the storage container 7 is optimally retracted and the baffle cover 2 is in its passive position. In the open position of FIG.
- this open position can coincide with the maximum extended end position of the baffle cover 2.
- the baffle cover 2 will only extend part of the maximum possible extension range to achieve a suitable open position for the storage container 7.
- the baffle cover 2 can also be adjusted independently of the storage container 7. This is advantageous if the baffle cover 2 has to be moved relatively quickly in order to reach its active position. During this rapid adjustment movement, the storage container 7 can remain in its current position, in particular in its closed position according to FIG. 2. As a result, the drive device 4 has to overcome fewer moments of inertia, so that a highly dynamic adjustment can be achieved for the baffle cover 2. Accordingly, a variant is preferred in which the drive device 4 for opening and closing the storage compartment 7 enables a significantly lower adjustment speed than the extension speed with which the drive device 4 extends the baffle cover 2 for its activation.
- the baffle cover 2 can be extended further independently of the storage container 7 in order to move the baffle cover 2 even closer to the knee / lower leg region of the passenger in order to activate it.
- the baffle cover 2 is extended into a predetermined preventive position in which the distance between the baffle cover 2 and the knee / lower leg region of the passenger is shortened. In any case, the baffle cover 2 is not maximal in this preventive position, but only partially extended.
- the impact lid 2 is then moved by the drive means 4 in its preventive position of FIG. 4, when a suitable control unit detects predetermined constraints, in de ⁇ the preventive position nen to avoid or to reduce injuries in the event of a crash can be helpful.
- the baffle cover 2 should primarily be adjusted to its preventive position if the front passenger does not wear his seat belt. In order not to prevent the passenger from getting in and out, the preventive position should only be set when the passenger door or all vehicle doors are locked.
- the baffle cover 2 is moved into its preventive position if the engine of the vehicle is also started when the aforementioned conditions are met.
- the baffle cover 2 moved into its preventive position can better protect the passenger who is not buckled up, at least at lower driving speeds in the event of a crash, than a purely passive impact protection.
- Another important aspect of the preventive position is seen, however, in that the partially extended baffle cover 2 is the driver and / or the assistant driver is so annoying that the passenger could be motivated to wear the seat belt.
- the control deactivates the baffle cover 2 and controls the drive device 4 to move the baffle cover 2 back into its passive position.
- the baffle cover 2 can make a note visible to the front passenger when driving out, which encourages the front passenger to wear the seat belt.
- Such an indication can be seen, for example, in a lettering and / or in a graphic representation, which encourages the passenger to fasten the seat belt.
- such an indication can be attached to a band-shaped section 8 which the baffle cover 2 hides in its passive position according to FIG. 1.
- the hint 8 can be provided with suitable lighting, which is coupled in particular with the vehicle lighting, in order to give the passenger, even in the dark, the hint that his seat belt is not fastened or not worn correctly.
- the drive device 4 can also be expediently designed such that it keeps the adjustment speed significantly lower for this purpose than for the extension of the baffle cover 2 for its activation.
- the baffle cover 2 can also with a pinch sensor system, not shown here. be provided, which during the adjustment of the impact lid 2 in its passive position and during the adjustment of the impact lid 2 together with the dust container 7 in its closed position, the drive device 4 stops, so ⁇ soon detects the clamping sensor that the impact lid 2 or the storage container 7 starts up against an obstacle when entering.
- a pinch sensor system like the aforementioned contact sensor system, can have pressure-sensitive mats, as can a device for monitoring the motor output if an electric motor is used for the drive device.
- the drive device 4 has a drive train 9 which is connected to the baffle cover 2 and is used to move the baffle cover 2.
- This drive train 9 here comprises two parallel rods 10, which are designed here, for example, as toothed racks.
- the rods 10 can also be designed as telescopic rods or as threaded rods.
- the drive train 9 also includes a drive element, which is formed here by an electric motor 11. Pneumatic, hydraulic or other drives are also conceivable.
- the electric motor 11 drives two gear arrangements 13 in parallel via flexible drive shafts 12, which translate the incoming rotary movements into linear movements of the rods 10. In principle, however, any other type of force transmission into the rods 10 is also possible.
- the drive train 9 is formed appropriately so that it is possible to reduce the impact lid 2 passively move back into its passive position.
- a force acting in the entry direction can act on the baffle cover 2 from the outside.
- the baffle cover 2 can thus yield in the event of an impact against an extension direction.
- the drive train 9 contains at least one damper element 14.
- each rod 10 is assigned such a damper element 14, which is integrated into the respective transmission 13. Accordingly, that is reference line leading to the respective damper element 14 is shown interrupted.
- damper elements 14 are inserted into and coupled to the drive train 9 in such a way that they dampen a force 15 which acts on the baffle cover 2 from the outside and drives the baffle cover 2 in its retracting direction. That is, the damper elements 14 brake the baffle cover 2, which is driven into its passive position, the braking force generated being greater, the greater the speed at which the baffle cover 2 is driven into its passive position.
- a damper element 14 can be designed, for example, as a rotary damper and can be arranged on the rotating side of the drive train 9.
- the damper elements 14 can expediently be activated and deactivated, so that the electric motor 11 does not have to work against the resistance of the damper elements 14 when the impact device 4 retracts or extends the impact cover 2.
- the damping elements 14 are either useful only enabled via an appropriate mechanical coupling or by ⁇ control when the impact lid 2 is extended to its active position, ie when the impact lid is extended to the maximum or when extending through an obstacle, usually the knee / Lower leg area of the passenger, is stopped.
