Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating sculpture for influencing vehicle functions and a vehicle with at least one such operating sculpture. This is designed as an elevation or depression in relation to a surface surrounding it and can be operated within this plane and perpendicular to it.
  • the operating sculpture according to the invention also has an actuation path in the plane of the surface surrounding it of no more than 0.4 millimeters.
  • buttons, switches and other controls for example to influence audio functions, driver assistance functions or the air conditioning in the vehicle interior. Many of these are concentrated on the steering wheel or in a central input area on the vehicle's dashboard or center console. Some of them are also designed as multifunctional buttons with touch-sensitive design.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a control element with which a large number of functions in a vehicle can be controlled, wherein it has a compact design and is intuitive to use and preferably also has good blind operability.
  • an operating sculpture for influencing vehicle functions, the operating sculpture being arranged or designed as an elevation or depression relative to a surface surrounding it in a vehicle, to be actuated in the plane of a surface surrounding it and perpendicular to this plane, and an actuation path in the plane of the surrounding surface of 0.4 millimeters or less.
  • a control sculpture should be understood as a control element with which various vehicle functions can be operated or influenced. Which function is influenced can be assigned directly and permanently to the control sculpture, for example in the case of a control sculpture for controlling audio functions, or it can depend on a menu structure and the selection made therein and therefore vary, which would create a generic control sculpture. In a generic operating sculpture, a context-dependent influence on vehicle functions can also be provided. Depending on the selected or activated vehicle function to be influenced, the possible operating actions on or with the operating sculpture have different effects, as will become clear from examples below.
  • Influencing a vehicle function means the selection of functional parameters, a selection between different selection options, a confirmation in a selection or input process or the like.
  • the vehicle functions that can be influenced include, among other things, controlling audio or media applications, influencing the interior climate (temperature, ventilation intensity), influencing the vehicle's interior lighting (color, intensity, lighting scenarios), accepting, making and/or rejecting calls , starting and ending a voice input, influencing Driver assistance systems and/or the influence of available views on display devices in the vehicle count, without this list being intended to be exhaustive.
  • the operating sculpture is arranged or designed as an elevation or depression relative to a surface surrounding it in a vehicle, that is to say that it protrudes positively above it or is designed as a depression in it.
  • a surface surrounding it is the surface of the area in the vehicle on or in which the operating sculpture is arranged. This can be, for example, the surface of a dashboard if the control sculpture is arranged there. If it is arranged on a steering wheel of the vehicle, the surface surrounding it is that of the area of the steering wheel around the control sculpture. To put it simply, a surrounding surface is the circumferential area adjacent to the operating sculpture.
  • the shape of the control sculpture can be freely chosen and can also follow design specifications. Its base area can be square, rectangular, round, oval or any other shape.
  • the operating sculpture is to be operated in the plane of the surface surrounding it and perpendicular to it. Based on an arrangement on a horizontally oriented surface, this would correspond to actuation forwards, backwards, right and left as well as any directions in between in the horizontal plane, as well as vertically, i.e. perpendicular to it. Combinations of these directions of movement, i.e. movement in the surface plane and perpendicular to it, are also expressly within the scope of the invention. For a user, this operation on the plane can be perceived as pushing in the directions mentioned and pressing the control sculpture downwards.
  • pressing to the right or left can cause music tracks to be skipped or a radio station to be changed; pressing can cause playback to start or pause.
  • pressing to the right and left can adjust the intensity of the ventilation and pressing to the front and back can adjust the temperature.
  • pressing in the level of the surrounding surface can correspond to cursor navigation and pressing perpendicular to this level can correspond to a selection or confirmation.
  • the possible actuation path of the operating sculpture in the plane of the surface surrounding it should be limited to a maximum of 0.4 millimeters, i.e. 0.4 millimeters or less.
  • the actuation path is the amount by which the operating sculpture can be moved in one direction. Due to the aforementioned limitation, the operating sculpture appears almost stationary. Only very little installation space needs to be provided to realize the actuation path and yet an actuation path can be perceived by a user, which indicates to the user that he has successfully operated the operating sculpture.
  • the limitation can preferably also be made to 0.2 millimeters and even more preferably 0.1 millimeters in order to further reduce the actuation path to be provided.
  • control sculpture designed according to the invention allows vehicle functions to be influenced flexibly with just one control or input element. It can be operated intuitively and can therefore also be operated blindly. Due to its almost fixed design, the installation space requirement and material costs are very low, which makes a compact and cost-effective implementation possible.
  • the operating sculpture must be integrated into the vehicle's operating structures in the usual way.
  • the actuation of the operating sculpture must be detected using suitable devices and transmitted to a control device, which converts the actuation into control signals in order to influence the vehicle function to be influenced in accordance with the actuation that has taken place.
  • suitable devices for detecting the actuation can be sensors known per se, such as optical sensors or Hall sensors, which are provided in or on the operating sculpture and are assigned to it.
  • the operating sculpture is seamlessly integrated into the surface surrounding it. This should be understood to mean that there is no joint between the operating sculpture and the surface surrounding it, but rather a closed surface is formed from which the operating sculpture rises or into which it is recessed. This ensures that no dirt or moisture gets into the joints The control sculpture can penetrate, which could otherwise possibly lead to malfunctions or defects.
  • the seamless integration can preferably be achieved with an elastic material in the joint area and/or by a cohesive connection of a surface of the operating sculpture with the surface surrounding it.
  • an elastic material can be, for example, a silicone, with which any joint can be closed so that a seamless surface is formed.
  • the elasticity of the material to be used allows the control sculpture to move within the maximum actuation path that can be achieved.
  • a cohesive connection can be achieved, for example, by welding a surface of the operating sculpture to the surface surrounding it. It proves to be advantageous if the materials with which the surface(s) of the operating sculpture and/or the surface surrounding it are formed are at least partially flexible in order to provide the necessary actuation paths.
  • a multi-component injection molding process or multi-raw material injection molding process also enables the operating sculpture to be seamlessly integrated into the surrounding surface.
  • the same or different raw materials are processed into a component or assembly in several passes, whereby hard-soft connections or sealing areas can also be formed. This also makes it possible to create a seamless connection between the operating sculpture and the surrounding surface.
  • the raw materials to be used should be selected so that they adhere to each other to ensure a permanent joint seal.
  • Another embodiment of the operating sculpture according to the invention provides that the operating sculpture is designed with a lever element, which is moved when the operating sculpture is actuated in accordance with the actuating movement carried out, and a device for detecting the movement of the lever element, the movement of the lever element with regard to the actuation direction, actuation angle and /or actuation intensity is detected.
  • the operating sculpture should therefore have a lever element.
  • This is to be understood as an element with a length that can be moved about a point of rotation in the directions of the plane of the surface surrounding the operating sculpture. This The rotation point should be at the end that is away from the operating area of the control sculpture.
  • the free end of the lever element faces this actuation area.
  • the lever element is aligned essentially perpendicular to the plane of the surface surrounding the operating sculpture. Accordingly, actuation of the operating sculpture in the plane of the surface surrounding it leads to a deflection of the lever element about the mentioned point of rotation.
  • One or more restoring elements ensure that the lever element returns to its starting position after the control sculpture has been actuated.
  • the operating sculpture In order to detect this deflection or rotation and, derived from it, the direction of actuation, the angle of actuation and/or the intensity of actuation, the operating sculpture also has a device for detecting the movement of the lever element.
  • This can include Hall sensors, optical sensors and the like, but particularly preferred is detection using resistive strain gauges, which are designed and arranged in such a way that when the operating sculpture and therefore the lever element is actuated, the resistance in the resistive strain gauges increases as a result of tension or pressure changes these areas and allows conclusions to be drawn about the direction, angle and/or intensity of the activity.
  • resistive strain gauges which are designed and arranged in such a way that when the operating sculpture and therefore the lever element is actuated, the resistance in the resistive strain gauges increases as a result of tension or pressure changes these areas and allows conclusions to be drawn about the direction, angle and/or intensity of the activity.

  • the actuation perpendicular to the plane surrounding the operating sculpture is also detected by suitable sensors, which are provided in the device for detecting the movement of the lever element.
  • An actuation preferably triggers visual and/or acoustic feedback. It can happen that a user changes the actuation path when operating the control sculpture cannot feel it and is therefore uncertain whether it has been activated. This can happen, for example, in poor road conditions. It is therefore provided that actuation of the operating sculpture causes visual and/or acoustic feedback.
  • Visual feedback can, for example, be the adaptation of a display on a display device on which the vehicle function to be influenced and possible operating actions and their effect are displayed.
  • a display can be the central display in the dashboard area or the center console, but also a head-up display.
  • Visual feedback also includes the display and adjustment of symbols in the area of the control sculpture or other suitable location, whereby these symbols indicate the vehicle function to be influenced and the possible operating actions. These symbols can be designed, for example, as backlit symbols that become visible by switching on a light source behind or below the symbol, but also in the form of smallest display devices that allow the display of different symbols depending on the vehicle function to be influenced.
  • acoustic feedback can be triggered.
  • tones or tone sequences a user of the control sculpture can be shown whether an actuation was successful or not.
  • the type of influence can also be reproduced using tones and tone sequences, for example increasing the interior temperature using an increasing tone sequence.
  • the operating sculpture can have a device for providing haptic feedback and this device should be arranged and mounted in such a way that the haptic feedback is only provided in the area of the operating sculpture.
  • Haptic feedback is a tactile feedback to the user as a result of an operation of the control sculpture.
  • the haptic feedback can be generated in various ways, for example actively using a vibration motor, an unbalance motor, a linear motor, a piezo motor or using a pulse input.

  • such haptic feedback can give a user the impression of a longer actuation path, which increases operating comfort.
  • the haptic feedback should remain limited to the area of the operating sculpture and stimulation of the area surrounding the operating sculpture should be avoided as far as possible.
  • the device for providing haptic feedback must be arranged and stored in such a way that the vibrations, impulses and the like it generates are transmitted to the operating sculpture and not to the surrounding surface.
