Definitions
- the invention relates to a device on a vehicle A ⁇ column at the level of the windshield for keeping an adjacent vehicle side portion of deflected by the windshield dirty water according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Prior art devices are known on a vehicle A pillar at the level of the windshield for keeping an adjacent vehicle side area of dirty water deflected through the windshield.
- This document discloses a passenger car with a windshield and arranged on a vehicle A-pillar in height of the windshield profile strip, which can be transferred via a servo motor from a rest position into an operative position.
- the profile strip is used to selectively dissipate water, which acts on the windshield.
- DE 31 19 358 C2 discloses a corresponding device in which the servomotor is controlled in dependence on the position of a windshield wiper switch or a humidity sensor.
- the invention is based on the object to provide a generic device for keeping a vehicle adjacent to the windshield of a vehicle side area, satisfying both the requirements of the Aeorakustik as well as the dirt-free of motor vehicles satisfactorily.
- the invention is characterized by a guide element, which is arranged in an adjacent to the windshield vehicle side region and serves to dissipate deflected by the windshield dirty water laterally.
- the guide element is arranged displaceable from a storage position into a plurality of different active position. It is conceivable, the transition from one active position into another operative position continuously, that is steplessly. According to another embodiment, however, the action positions can also differ so much from one another that an adjustment takes place from one active position to another active position via a step.
- the number of effective positions can be selected depending on the specific application. In the case of a continuous transition from one active position to another, infinitely many effects are conceivable.
- the invention has the advantage that the adjustment of the guide element is dependent on demand can. Depending on how much water hits the windscreen and has to be removed, one of the effective positions can be selected. In this way, in each case the optimum operative position with respect to the amount of water to be discharged, but also simultaneously with respect to the noise generated by the guide element can be adjusted.
- the impact positions may differ, for example, in the height of the guide element.
- the guide element depending on which active position it occupies, extended to different heights.
- the effective positions differ by other features, such as the angle of attack of the guide element relative to the windshield.
- each of the aeroacoustically quietest position of the guide element according to the motto: "as high as necessary, as low as possible” can be adjusted, so that only in very heavy rain, the guide element is fully extended.
- the operative positions of the guide element can be adjusted, for example, as a function of the amount of water impinging on the windshield.
- a demand-dependent control of the guide element is provided, for example, works such that the guide element is extended the farther, the more water is on the windshield and must be removed.
- a control unit may be provided, which is a servomotor acting, which transfers the guide element of the ⁇ blagegna into its operative positions. It is conceivable that the control unit is fed with data of the rain sensor. The rain sensor provides information about the amount of water on the windshield so that the data of the rain sensor can be used to adjust the guide depending on the amount of water impinging on the windshield. It is also conceivable to feed the control unit with data of the wiper frequency selected by the driver. The wiper frequency can be an indication of the amount of water on the windshield. Likewise, any other influencing variable for the control is conceivable, which provides information about the amount of water on the windshield.
- the guide element is transferred to its operative position already before a first wiping cycle of the windscreen wiper. This has the advantage that the impact on the windshield water can be optimally dissipated from the first moment.
- a corresponding advantage provides the feature that the guide element is transferred to its storage position only after the last wiping cycle. This is also controllable for example via the rain sensor.
- the guide element is transferred into its operative position upon activation of the washing process. Wiping the windows - operating the windscreen wipers with additional wiper water to clean the window must also be taken into account when controlling the guide element. It is conceivable to provide a delay in the spraying of the wiper water, so that this only hits the disc when the guide element has taken its operative position.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective plan view of the left A-
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the A-pillar according to line II-II in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram.
- the front area of the A-pillar 4 of a vehicle is completely covered over its entire height with a panel designed as a displaceable guide element 1.
- the windshield is in the drawing with 2 and the left of the A-pillar adjacent side window with 3 bezeich ⁇ net.
- a is in the A-pillar 4 provided with the Stanfords ⁇ element 1 connected actuator 5.
- a ent speaking joint 6 is indicated schematically.
- the actuators 5 can also cooperate with springs provided between the guide element 1 and the A-pillar 4, the springs advantageously having potential spring-tension energy at a storage position of the guide element 1, which can be released to open the flow channel.
- the guide element 1, which can serve as a full-surface front A- pillar trim is made of elastic, but high-strength material, in particular plastic.
- FIG. 3 shows a possible circuit. It can be seen from this circuit that a control unit is provided which acts on the actuator (s) 5, which in turn transfer the guide element 1 from a discharge position into an operative position.
- the control unit receives signals from a rain sensor so that the control unit transmits signals to the actuator (s) 5 such that the more rain hits the windshield 2, the further the guide element 1 is placed.
- the control unit may also receive signals from a windshield wiper switch. The higher the frequency of the windscreen wiper is set, the higher is the on. the windshield striking amount of rainwater and the higher the guide element is set.
- the control unit can also work in dependence on other sensors which provide information about the amount of water reaching the windshield 2.
