Description
技术领域

发明内容
在第一实施例中,用于提供转向盘位置的视觉指示的装置包括编码器和显示***。编码器具有用于将部分编码器安装到转向***的活动部件的机构,该活动部件结合到转向盘。编码器产生关于活动部件的位置的输出信号;显示***响应于由编码器产生的输出信号,显示转向盘的位置的视觉指示。

在第四实施例中,一种转向***的活动部件包括涂到活动部件的反射代码图案。
还公开了其它实施例。
附图说明
本发明的示例性和目前优选的实施例在附图中示出,其中:
图1示出用于提供转向盘位置的视觉指示的示例方法;
图2-图5示出可以实施图1中所示方法的示例性***;
图6和图7示出在图2-图5所示的显示器的示例性实施例。
具体实施方式
驾驶员会发现有用的(或至少时髦)的指示器是车轮位置指示器(例如,让驾驶员知道其车轮是否向左或向右定向,和定向到什么程度的指示器)。因而,图1示出用于提供转向盘位置的视觉指示的示例方法100。方法100包括对连接到转向盘的转向***的活动部件的位置进行编码(102)。接着,活动部件的编码位置被解码(104),然后与转向盘的位置关联(106)。接着显示转向盘位置的视觉指示(108)。
图2-图5示出可以实施方法100的示例性***200、300、400、500。通过示例的方式,每一个***200、300、400、500的活动部件包括转向柱202和转向齿条204。转向柱202结合到转向盘206,转向齿条204结合到一个或多个轮子208、210(可以通过诸如横拉杆的连接元件)。通过示例的方式,转向齿条可以是纯粹的机械转向齿条或液压转向齿条(例如,动力转向齿条)。
如在许多转向***中所熟知,转向盘206向转向柱202施加转动,转向柱202使得转向齿条204平移。接着,转向齿条204的平移使得转向齿条204所结合的轮子208、210在向左和向右的位置之间移动。
在每一个***200、300、400、500中,编码器与***的活动部件以能够运行的方式关联,以便产生与活动部件的位置相关的输出信号。接着向显示***212提供这些输出信号,该显示***212显示***轮子208、210的位置的视觉指示。
在***200中,编码器214包括结合到***转向柱202的码盘216。码盘215可以使用各种诸如扣件、粘附衬垫、焊料或固定螺钉的机构结合到或安装到转向柱202。取决于码盘216的安装位置和其暴露于其中的条件,码盘216可以由诸如金属或塑料的各种材料制造。而且,取决于转向柱202能够转动的程度,码盘216可以是全码盘或部分码盘(例如,一半或三分之二码盘)。针对本说明书的目的,全码盘和部分码盘都将总称为“码盘”。
在一个实施例中,编码器214可以是模拟编码器,其产生的模拟输出信号由随码盘216的位置而变化的电阻所确定。在另一个实施例中,编码器214可以是数字编码器,诸如光学编码器。
如果编码器214是光学编码器,则码盘216可以包括窗口图案,光学编码器的光源通过该窗口照射。由于码盘216运动的结果,光学编码器的检测器接着可以接收通过码盘216的发送的“代码”。在另一个实施例中,码盘216可以在其上具有反射码图案,编码器可以借助于码盘216将来自光源的光反射到检测器。在任何一个情况下,编码器检测透射通过码盘216的光或从码盘216反射的光。该检测的光接着转换成与转向柱202的位置有关的输出信号。
在透射型光学编码器的情况下,相对的光源和用于通过码盘216出射光(和检测来自码盘216的光)的检测器组218能够安装到转向柱的固定护套。在反射型编码器的情况下,提供光源和检测器的单个单元可以安装到转向柱202的固定护套,或安装到邻近转向柱202的固定支撑。
优选地,编码器214是绝对编码器。例如,如果编码器214是光学编码器,则编码器214可以包括具有一系列同心窗口或反射图案的码盘。以这种方式,能够使用单个检测圆来确定转向盘202的位置。如果编码器214不是绝对编码器,则显示***212需要在某点上初始化,并且会需要包括非易失性存储器来存储所检测的窗口或反射点的不间断计数的增量或减量。否则,显示***212会失去对车轮位置的跟踪。
在***300中,光学编码器302包括绕转向柱202的圆周涂成环形的反射码图案304。提供光源和检测器的单个单元306可以安装到转向柱202的固定护套,或安装到邻近转向柱202的固定支撑。***300在一些情况下会是有利的,因为其降低***部件数量。
在***400中,编码器402包括结合或安装到***转向齿条204的码带404。码带404可以使用各种诸如扣件、粘附衬垫、焊料或固定螺钉的机构结合到转向齿条204。取决于码带404的安装位置和其暴露于其中的条件,码带404可以由诸如金属或塑料的材料制造。
在一个实施例中,编码器402可以是模拟编码器,产生的模拟输出信号由随着码带404的位置而变化的电阻所确定。在另一个实施例中,编码器402可以是诸如光学编码器的数字编码器。
如果编码器402是光学编码器,码带404可以包括窗口图案,光学编码器402的光源通过该窗口照射。由于码带404运动的结果,光学编码器的检测器接着可以接收通过码带发送的“码”。在另一个实施例中,码带404可以在其上具有反射码图案,编码器402可以经由码带404将来自光源的光反射到检测器。在任何一个情况下,编码器检测透射通过码带404的光或从码带404反射的光。该检测的光接着转换成与转向齿条204的位置有关的输出信号。
在透射型光学编码器的情况下,相对的光源和用于通过码带404出射光(和检测来自码带404的光)的检测器组406能够安装到转向齿条406的固定支撑。在反射型编码器的情况下,提供光源和检测器的单个单元可以安装到邻近转向齿条406的固定支撑。
优选地,编码器402是绝对编码器。例如,如果编码器402是光学编码器,则编码器402可以包括具有成排窗口或反射图案的码带204。以这种方式,能够使用单个检测圆来确定转向盘202的位置。
在***500中,光学编码器502包括涂成沿转向齿条204的主轴延伸的直线的反射码图案504。提供光源和检测器的单个单元506可以安装到邻近转向齿条204的固定支撑。***500在一些情况下会是有利的,因为其降低***部件数量。
在包括其它活动部件和杆系的转向***中,编码器可以与未在图2-图5中示出的活动部件相连。例如,在循环球式转向***中,编码器能够与转向柱或活动转向杆(或臂)相连。
针对***200、300、400、500所提供的显示***212可以采取各种形式。通常,显示***212将至少包括显示器220和控制电路222,控制电路解释编码器的输出信号,并且产生用于显示220的适合的驱动信号(见图2)。在一些情况下,显示器可以是模拟的(例如,一对或系列指示灯),在其它情况下,显示器可以是数字的(例如,液晶显示器(LCD))。
在一个实施例中,显示器220包括多段600、602、604、606、608、610(诸如,饼形段;见图6),其中的预定段响应于由编码器产生的输出信号而被点亮。点亮段表示一个或多个转向盘的208、210的位置。例如,如图6所示,当车辆的轮子208、210(例如,在车辆616上)向右转,段602会被点亮。此外,或可替换地,指示器612、614可以表示轮子208、210向右转(R),并且转多少度(例如,30°)。如在图7中示出,当车辆的轮子208、209向左转,段606会被点亮,指示器612、614可以表示轮208、210向左转15°(L)。
在其它实施例中,显示器220可以包括或多或少的精密的元件。
尽管上述***和其变型可以结合到包括转向盘的任何***或车辆,但可以认为在汽车和卡车中特别有用。例如,当驾驶员刚进入车辆,并且不确定转向盘朝哪一个方向时,此处描述的装置和***尤其有用。当驾驶员沿路边进行平行驻车,所公开的装置和***也可以是有用的。对于新手或老驾驶员,所公开的装置和***可以提高驾驶员的信心和判断。
