Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sensor for engaging onto and around an insulated wire of a crash test vehicle, a sensor head for the measurement of a control signal in a circuit of an on-board electrical system of a crash-test vehicle and to a method of crash-testing a vehicle.
  • Crash testing may be carried out on many different types of vehicle as a key part of development to rate a vehicle's safety performance.
  • One major need for crash testing is for cars and similar, because new models need to be assessed before release to the market.
  • the invention may be used in crash testing of cars or the like, but may also be applied to other situations where there is a. need to non-intrasively sense current flow.
  • airbag control module When testing cars, data acquisition units in the car are used to record an accurate log of information relating to car conditions during the crash conditions.
  • One specific, although no-limiting situation that needs to monitored is the airbag trigger circuitry.
  • the airbag control module During a high-speed impact, it is the responsibility of the airbag control module to decide whether and when to deploy the airbag or airbags. The module is able to come to this decision based upon the information it receives from various accelerometers located around the vehicle.
  • a trigger signal generated by the control module and sent to the airbag must be such as to be able to burn out a resistor (the "squib") located within the airbag module, thereby igniting an explosive charge and deploying the airbag.
  • the airbag fails to deploy in the correct manner at the correct time during a crash test, it could be that the control module has failed to send a signal at the correct time or at all, or the harness is damaged and fails to convey the signal from the control module to the airbag module. It is also possible that the airbag itself could be at fault. It is therefore necessary to monitor the current at a predetermined point in the harness (often at, or close to, the electrical terminals of the airbag module) to determine when the signal is received with reference to the time of crash.
  • Such probes 10 have a jaw portion 12 with an aperture 14 through which the wire or cable (not shown) to be monitored passes.
  • the jaw portion 12 is openable by a jaw actuator 16 to allow positioning around the wire or cable.
  • a current sensing transducer (not shown) is associated with the jaw portion 12 to sense current in the wire by detection of the magnetic field surrounding the wire due to current in the wire. Conditioning circuitry in the probe "cleans up" the output of the transducer to provide an output indicative of current flow through the wire of concern.
  • the reliability of a probe 10 may be poor at high accelerations ("high g") and, as vehicle safety systems develop, the number of airbag/pre-tensioner channels is increasing with some car manufacturers already using two-stage devices thereby requiring an increase in the number of sensors required and the space required to accommodate them. As they are relatively large it is unlikely that they can be used in "tight" areas, such as behind vehicle trim. This may therefore undesirably constrain the test engineer. Also, probes of this type are quite heavy, around 250 grams for the probe itself, and under high g force, their inertia is sufficient that they are prone to move significantly during crash conditions.
  • the cost of probes of this general type is high and this makes it important to retrieve the probe(s) after use.
  • the act of retrieving the probe may however disturb the wiring, for example behind the dashboard, when it would be desirable for the wiring to be left undisturbed.
  • the insulated wires of the airbag harness usually has a diameter of around 1- 3 mm and is therefore very much smaller than the diameter of the aperture 14 of the jaw portion 12 which is typically 20 millimetres.
  • the wire 24 runs through the middle of the cork 22 whilst the jaw portion 12 of the probe 10 grips the cork in place.
  • the magnetic field produced by the current in the wire is most dense close to the wire and, as the sensor is necessarily somewhat removed from the wire, the response of the sensor may be of reduced magnitude, thereby requiring careful scrutiny of test results.
  • Another is that it is often necessary to apply the current sensor probe in awkward or inaccessible locations, and the need to manipulate a cork may add to the difficulty.
  • heavy duty tape (not shown) is used to clamp the jaws of the jaw portion 12 closed, to assist with the spring-bias of the jaws of the jaw portion 12.
  • the jaws can still rattle and vibrate during an impact especially under the g-forces arising out of crash conditions. Such vibrations can create noise in the sensor which is apparent on the output signal of the sensor.
  • FIG 3 shows a comparison between a typical desired result in Figure 3a and the type of result which is sometimes obtained using the probe and arrangement of Figures 1 and 2.
  • Figure 3a depicts a desired monitored signal 30 over a period of time, the detected airbag firing pulse 32 also being shown.
  • Figure 3b shows an actual monitored signal 34 which, as can be seen, comprises a substantial noise component and is quite different from the desired signal of Figure 3 a. It may still be possible to obtain some form of useful information the actual result of Figure 3b - closer inspection of section 36 of the signal 34 depicts a section 38 comprising a detected pulse 40 - but this is time consuming. It can also be difficult to assess the accuracy of the derived results.
  • the cost and the inertia of the sensor is significantly reduced. Indeed, as the expense of the sensor element has been significantly reduced, they can be considered "disposable"; there may be no need to spend time removing them from vehicles after the tests, and in turn the ability to leave the sensor in place reduces the impact of the sensor on the vehicle by reducing further disturbance
  • the sensor head clamps onto the insulation of a wire of the circuit to be monitored
  • the sensor head can remain immobile on the wire during crash conditions in which the sensor head can be subjected to deceleration forces of more than 40g. This means that the location at which the test is performed can be determined.
  • the sensor head can move along the wire during crash conditions and thus the physical impact of its inertia on the wire and the circuit components is reduced.
  • in-line conditioning circuitry has advantages over the in-head circuit, since for example, it is possible to select a region of the vehicle which is "safe". Since the region may be an accessible region, the conditioning circuitry may include indicators to enable the test engineer to confirm that power is available, that the sensor is correctly installed etc.

  • the housing portions 102a, 102b are injection moulded and extend one into the other via a web 104 of plastics material interconnecting the portions along corresponding height- parallel edges.
  • the web 104 is of a thickness so as to provide flexibility and allow the housing portions 102a, 102b to open and close, acting as a hinge 104.
  • Cut-outs 114a, 114b are disposed so that when the two housing portions are closed to form a cylinder, the cut-outs form holes 112 in the opposing major faces of the cylinder, the holes 112 being concentric with the cylinder.
  • the second housing portion 102b has a height-parallel slot 120 at a location remote from its ends, and a second slot 118b at a location near to the end distal to the hinge web 104.

  • the housing 102 is generally hollow and defines a circular-cylindrical enclosure.
  • the enclosure houses a ferrite core 106 that in this embodiment has an annular plan, and hence a central axial aperture 116, and a rectangular cross- section. In other embodiments, a toroid or other shape may be substituted.
  • the ferrite core 106 is used in conjunction with a Hall-effect sensor 108 to afford non-intrusive current sensing means for monitoring the current in the wire.
  • the core has two similarly-dimensioned parts in this embodiment. In the view of Figure 4, only one part is shown for the sake of clarity.
  • the Hall-effect sensor 108 is disposed in a slot (not shown) in the underside of the ferrite core 106 through the first slot 120 in the second housing portion 102b in the direction 122 as shown, to thereby become magnetically coupled with the core 106.
  • the Hall-effect sensor has three terminals 124 connected to a connecting cable 126 having individual conductors 128 and a screen and/or overall sheath 130.
  • the individual wires 128 are have individual screens (not shown).
  • the cable 126 may be chosen to be highly flexible where necessary.
  • the wire has an end connector 132 for connection to a conditioning circuit, which will be described below.
  • the holes 112 in the opposing end walls and the aperture 116 of the core allow a conductor (not shown) to pass through the sensor 100 so that a current through the conductor can be sensed.
  • the split structure of the sensor 100 allows positioning of around the conductor (not shown for the sake of clarity) after which the two halves are closed to engage onto and around the conductor.
  • the conductors are insulated, and the holes 112 in the present embodiment are dimensioned to lightly engage the insulation.

  • the cut out portions 114a and 114b engage onto the insulation of the wire sufficiently to allow the sensor to move by sliding along the wire.
  • the ferrite core 106 may alternatively have any suitable shape or form other than a toroid.
  • the catch 118a, 118b holds the distal regions of the two portions 102a, 102b in tight engagement so that the housing acts as though it were an integral body.
  • Other embodiments use other securing means, such as a clamping device around the periphery of the housing, a cable tie, glue.
  • packing of a suitable material such as a rubber grommet (not shown) may be used to ensure a tight fit of the sensor 100 on the wire, if that is required.
  • the ferrite core 106 is positioned into the slot 110 in the second housing portion 102b and placed in the desired position around the wire.
  • the second part of the ferrite core 106 (not shown) is placed over the conductor so that the ferrite core in this embodiment at least substantially encircles the wire and the housing 102 is closed by fixing the catch 118a, 118b.
  • the closing action provided by this catch together with the size of the holes 112 is sufficient to retain the sensor head on the wire under the g-forces arising out of crash conditions.
  • an alternative housing 150 for housing a core 206 generally similar to core 106 has first and second housing portions 152a, 152b having a circumferential surface 154.
  • the surface 154 is bounded by two opposing circumferentially-extending flange lips 156 of the housing to define a pathway for retaining a web (not shown) or similar around the housing.
  • the web may form a securing means, for example a cable tie disposed around the periphery of the housing 150 and pulled tight. The provision of such securing means ensures the sensor remains secure.

  • the portions 152a, 152b are connected together via a hinge 160 having a pivot point 153 offset outwardly from the respective diameter-parallel edges 152c,152d so that when the sensor head 150 is closed until the edges are mutually parallel, they are spaced apart - see Fig 5B.
  • the ferrite core 206 of this embodiment is in two parts, and is disposed in the housing enclosure of the housing so that end portions 206a, 206b project circumferentially from the distal ends 152e, 152f of the housing.

  • the projecting end portions 206a, 206b extend such that when they are in mutual engagement, the edges 152c, 152d are parallel. Hence this leaves a gap at the pivot end between the ends 206c, 206d. This gap is selected to correspond to the size of the Hall-effect sensor (not shown), which is secured in this location during manufacture.
  • edges 152c, 152d have cut-outs forming a hole 158 when closed corresponding with an aperture of the core 206 so that a conductor (not shown) can pass through the sensor housing 152 through aperture 158.
