Abstract

The invention relates to a device for activating restraint means that takes a dangerous situation into account during the activation of the restraint means. The dangerous situation is identified based on variables of the surroundings and on a vehicle handling. A rain sensor is used as a surroundings sensor for generating the variables of the surroundings, and the identification of vehicle handling can ensue on the basis of a gearbox signal.

Description

Vorrichtung zur Ansteuerung von RückhaltemittelnDevice for controlling restraint devices
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zur Ansteuerung von Rückhaltemitteln nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a device for controlling restraint devices according to the type of the independent claim.
Aus DE 100 49 911 AI sind Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zur Aktivierung von Insassenschutzeinrichtungen bekannt. Dabei wird mittels eines Radarsensors das Umfeld um ein Fahrzeug überwacht, um bei einer gefährlichen Annäherung diese Gefahrensituation bei der Ansteuerung der Rückhaltemittel zu berücksichtigen.From DE 100 49 911 AI methods and devices for activating occupant protection devices are known. The environment around a vehicle is monitored using a radar sensor in order to take this dangerous situation into account when activating the restraint means in the event of a dangerous approach.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Die erfϊndungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Ansteuerung von Rückhaltemitteln mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass die Gefahrensituation anhand von wenigstens einem Umgebungssensor und/oder einer Fahrverhaltenserkennung erkannt wird. Damit ist es möglich, den Algorithmus, der zur Ansteuerung der Rückhaltemittel verwendet wird, in Abhängigkeit von der Fahrsituation entweder sensibler oder robuster zu schalten. Insbesondere ist es damit möglich, bereits sehr frühzeitig auf solche Gefahrensituation wie Regen oder sehr sportliches Fahren zu reagieren.The device according to the invention for actuating restraint devices with the features of the independent patent claim has the advantage that the dangerous situation is recognized by at least one environmental sensor and / or a driving behavior detection. This makes it possible to switch the algorithm that is used to control the restraint means to be either more sensitive or more robust, depending on the driving situation. In particular, it is possible to react very early to such dangerous situations as rain or very sporty driving.
Durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen und Weiterbildungen sind vorteilhafte Verbesserungen der im unabhängigen Patentanspruch angegebenen Vorrichtung zur Ansteuerung von RücW lternitteln möglich. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass als Umgebungssensor ein Regensensor verwendet wird. Mit dem Signal von einem Regensensor könnte auch ein erhöhtes Unfallrisiko beschlossen werden, so dass dann eine Auslösekennlinie empfindlicher gemacht wird, indem sie beispielsweise abgesenkt wird.The measures and further developments listed in the dependent claims permit advantageous improvements of the device for controlling back devices specified in the independent claim. It is particularly advantageous that a rain sensor is used as the environmental sensor. With the signal from a rain sensor, an increased accident risk could also be decided, so that a tripping characteristic is then made more sensitive, for example by lowering it.
Die Fahrverhaltenserkennung kann vorteilhafter Weise anhand eines Getriebesignals erkannt werden. Wird als Getriebesignal sportliche Fahrweise erkannt, könnte eine Absenkung der Empfindlichkeit erfolgen, um Fehlauslösungen, beispielsweise durch Fahrbahnunebenheiten, vorzubeugen. Damit wird ein sehr intelligenter Algorithmus geschaffen, der sich den individuellen Bedürfnissen anpasst.The driving behavior detection can advantageously be recognized on the basis of a transmission signal. If a sporty driving style is recognized as the transmission signal, the sensitivity could be reduced in order to prevent false tripping, for example due to uneven road surfaces. This creates a very intelligent algorithm that adapts to individual needs.

Beschreibungdescription
Airbags gehören seit Jahren zur Sicherheitsausstattung von Kraftfahrzeugen. Zur Auslösung des pyrotechnischen Systems wird in der Software des elektrischen Steuergeräts ein Algorithmus gerechnet. Eingangsgrößen in diese Algorithmus sind in der Regel Sensorsignale zur Erfassung der Crashschwere, beispielsweise Beschleunigungssignale und Drucksignale, sowie Informationen über eine Insassenbelegung und Gurtschlösser.Airbags have been part of the safety equipment of motor vehicles for years. An algorithm is calculated in the software of the electrical control device to trigger the pyrotechnic system. Input variables in this algorithm are usually sensor signals for detecting the crash severity, for example acceleration signals and pressure signals, as well as information about occupant occupancy and belt buckles.
Da die Zündung des Airbags nur im wirklichen Crash erfolgen soll, und möglichst keine Fehlauslösung, zum Beispiel bei Überfahren eines Bordsteins, erfolgen darf, muss der Algorithmus auf das jeweilige Fahrzeug angepasst werden. Dabei spricht man von einer Applikation. Dies bedeutet, das Feintuning des Parametersatzes, um optimale Auslösezeiten bei gleichzeitiger Robustheit gegenüber Fehlauslösungen zu garantieren.Since the airbag should only be triggered in the real crash, and if possible no false triggering, for example when driving over a curb, the algorithm must be adapted to the respective vehicle. One speaks of one Application. This means the fine tuning of the parameter set in order to guarantee optimal tripping times while being robust against false tripping.
Derzeit verwendete Algorithmen sind invariant gegenüber der Fahrsituation vor dem Crash. Somit ist es schwer, für die Applikation zwischen schnellen Auslösezeiten und der geforderten Robustheit gegenüber Fehlauslösungen zu priorisieren und die Festlegung kann im Fahrbetrieb nicht adaptiert werden.Algorithms currently used are invariant to the driving situation before the crash. It is therefore difficult to prioritize between fast tripping times and the required robustness against false tripping for the application and the definition cannot be adapted while driving.
Erfϊndungsgemäß werden daher Signale außerhalb des Airbagsystems in die Entscheidung des Algorithmus mit einbezogen, um so abhängig von der Fahrsituation entweder sensibler oder robuster auf die tatsächlich auslöserelevanten Signale wie Beschleunigung oder Druck reagieren zu können.According to the invention, signals outside of the airbag system are therefore included in the decision of the algorithm, so that depending on the driving situation, it can react to the signals that are actually triggered, such as acceleration or pressure, either more sensitively or more robustly.
Mit dem Signal aus einem Regensensor könnte prinzipiell auf ein erhöhtes Unfallrisiko geschlossen und so die Auslösekennlinie zu "sensitiv" verschoben werden. Ebenso könnte über das Getriebesignal "sportliche Fahrweise" eine Absenkung der Empfindlichkeit zu erfolgen, um Fehlauslösungen durch Fahrbahnunebenheiten vorzubeugen.In principle, the signal from a rain sensor could be used to infer an increased risk of an accident, and the triggering characteristic curve could thus be shifted to "sensitive". Likewise, the sensitivity could be reduced via the "sporty driving style" gear signal in order to prevent false tripping due to uneven road surfaces.
Figur 1 zeigt in einem Blockschaltbild die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung. Ein Steuergerät 10 für Rückhaltemittel ist üblicherweise am Fahrzeugtunnel eines Fahrzeugs angebracht. Über einen ersten Dateneingang ist das Steuergerät 10 mit einem Seitenaufprallsensor 13 verbunden und über einen zweiten Dateneingang mit einem Seitenaufprallsensor 14. Die Seitenaufprallsensoren 13 und 14 sind an gegenüberliegenden Seiten angebracht. Es ist möglich, dass mehr als diese zwei Seitenaufprallsensoren vorgesehen sind, beispielsweise zur Plausibilisierung oder um mehrere Seitenteile des Fahrzeugs genauer überwachen zu können. Beim dritten und vierten Dateneingang des Steuergeräts 10 sind Upfrontsensoren 11 und 12 angeschlossen. Die Upfrontsensoren 10 und 12 sind üblicherweise am Kühler eines Fahrzeugs angebracht. Es ist möglich, auch nur einen einzigen Upfrontsensor, beispielsweise in der Mitte des Kühlerquerträgers, anzubringen. An einen fünften Dateneingang des Steuergeräts 10 ist ein Regensensor 15 angeordnet. An einen sechsten Dateneingang des Steuergeräts 10 ist eine Getriebesteuerung 16 angeschlossen. Die Getriebesteuerung 16 liefert das Getriebesteuersignal an das Steuergerät 10. Über einen Datenausgang ist das Steuergerät 10 mit Rückhaltemitteln 17 verbunden. Darunter werden Airbags, Gurtstraffer und gegebenenfalls ein Überrollbügel verstanden. Die Sensoren 11 bis 14 sind hier Beschleunigungssensoren. Diese Beschleunigungssensoren sind üblicherweise mikromechanisch hergestellt. Als Seitenaufprallsensoren kommen aber auch Druck- oder Temperatursensoren in Frage, die in einem weitgehend geschlossenen Hohlraum angeschlossen sind. Diese Sensoren reagieren dann auf eine Verformung des Hohlraums, die eine Volumenverringerung mit sich bringt. Diese Volumenänderung drückt sich in einem adiabatischen Druckanstieg aus, den der Drucksensor als Druck- und der Temperatursensor als Temperaturerhöhung messen. Die Sensoren 11 bis 14 sind meist mikromechanisch hergestellt. Beschleunigungssensoren können sich auch im Steuergerät 10 selbst befinden, um gegebenenfalls als Plausibilitätssensoren oder auch zur Crashrichtungserkennung beizutragen. Die Beschleunigungssensoren sind bei Seitenaufprallsensoren vorzugsweise in Fahrzeugquerrichtung angeordnet und bei den Upfrontsensoren in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung. Gegebenenfalls sind winklige Anordnungen möglich, die eine bessere Crashrichtungserkennung ermöglichen. Der Regensensor 15 ist beispielsweise ein optischer Transmissionssensor, wobei jedoch auch andere Messprinzipien hier möglich sind. Die Getriebesteuerung 16 liefert, wie oben dargestellt, das Getriebesignal, um das Fahrverhalten charakterisieren zu können. Das Steuergerät 10 verwendet diese Signale der angeschlossenen Baugruppen, um die Rückhaltemittel 17 in Abhängigkeit von diesen Signalen ansteuern zu können. Dazu weist das Steuergerät 10 einen Prozessor und Speicher auf. Meldet der Regensensor 15, dass Regen erkannt wird, dann ist eine allgemeine Gefahrensituation vorhanden und der Auslösealgorithmus wird im Steuergerät 10 entsprechend schärfer geschaltet, indem beispielsweise den Auslösesignalen ein Zuschlag zugegeben wird, oder den Auslöseschwellen ein Abschlag. Zeigt das Getriebesignal 16 sportliches Fahrverhalten an, dann wird der Algorithmus im Steuergerät 10 unempfindlicher geschaltet, um Fehlauslösungen bei Fahrbahnunebenheiten zu vermeiden.FIG. 1 shows the device according to the invention in a block diagram. A control device 10 for restraint devices is usually attached to the vehicle tunnel of a vehicle. The control unit 10 is connected to a side impact sensor 13 via a first data input and to a side impact sensor 14 via a second data input. The side impact sensors 13 and 14 are attached on opposite sides. It is possible that more than these two side impact sensors are provided, for example for plausibility checking or in order to be able to monitor several side parts of the vehicle more precisely. Upfront sensors 11 and 12 are connected to the third and fourth data inputs of control unit 10. The upfront sensors 10 and 12 are usually attached to the radiator of a vehicle. It is also possible to attach only a single upfront sensor, for example in the middle of the radiator cross member. A rain sensor 15 is arranged at a fifth data input of the control device 10. A transmission control 16 is connected to a sixth data input of the control device 10. The transmission control 16 supplies the transmission control signal to the control device 10. The control device 10 is connected to restraint means 17 via a data output. This includes airbags, belt tensioners and, if necessary, a roll bar. The sensors 11 to 14 are acceleration sensors here. These acceleration sensors are usually made micromechanically. However, pressure or temperature sensors that are connected in a largely closed cavity can also be used as side impact sensors. These sensors then react to a deformation of the cavity, which leads to a reduction in volume. This change in volume is expressed in an adiabatic pressure increase, which the pressure sensor measures as a pressure sensor and the temperature sensor as a temperature increase. The sensors 11 to 14 are usually made micromechanically. Acceleration sensors can also be located in the control unit 10 itself, in order, if necessary, to contribute as plausibility sensors or also to detect the direction of the crash. The acceleration sensors are preferably arranged in the vehicle transverse direction in the case of side impact sensors and in the vehicle longitudinal direction in the case of the upfront sensors. If necessary, angular arrangements are possible which enable better detection of the crash direction. The rain sensor 15 is, for example, an optical transmission sensor, although other measuring principles are also possible here. As shown above, the transmission control 16 supplies the transmission signal in order to be able to characterize the driving behavior. The control unit 10 uses these signals of the connected modules in order to be able to control the restraint means 17 as a function of these signals. For this purpose, control unit 10 has a processor and memory. If the rain sensor 15 reports that rain is detected, then there is a general danger situation and the triggering algorithm is activated accordingly in the control unit 10, for example by adding a surcharge to the triggering signals or a discounting the triggering thresholds. If the transmission signal 16 indicates sporty driving behavior, then the algorithm in the control unit 10 is switched to be less sensitive in order to avoid false tripping in the event of uneven road surfaces.
Figur 2 zeigt in einem Ablaufdiagramm das Verhalten der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung. Ein Airbagalgorithmus 20, der im Steuergerät 10 in einem Prozessor abläuft, erhält von den Sensoren 11 bis 14 auslöserelevante Sensorsignale, von dem Regensensor 15 Umgebungsvariablen, ob Regen vorliegt, oder nicht und von der Getriebesteuerung 16 das Fahrverhalten, ob beispielsweise also ein sportliches Fahrverhalten vorliegt. Der Algorithmus ist damit durch die Umgebungsvariablen und das Fahrverhalten derart beeinflusst, dass er in Abhängigkeit davon und den auslöserelevanten Sensorsignalen eine Auslöseentscheidung gegebenenfalls trifft und danach die Rückhaltemittel 17 auslöst. Dabei werden dann auch weitere Daten wie Insassenbelegung u.s.w. berücksichtigt. FIG. 2 shows the behavior of the device according to the invention in a flow chart. An airbag algorithm 20, which runs in a processor in control unit 10, receives sensor signals relevant to triggering from sensors 11 to 14, environmental variables from rain sensor 15, whether or not there is rain, and transmission control 16, the driving behavior, for example whether there is a sporty driving behavior , The algorithm is thus influenced by the environment variables and driving behavior in such a way that it depends on it and the trigger-relevant sensor signals may make a trigger decision and then trigger the restraining means 17. Further data such as occupant occupancy etc. are then also taken into account.
