Description
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Schutzvorrichtung mit einer Insassenerkennung nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs.The invention is based on one Protection device with an occupant detection according to the genus of independent Claim.
Aus
Die erfindungsgemäße Schutzvorrichtung mit einer Insassenerkennung mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass die Insassenerkennung nunmehr auch dazu verwendet wird, um wenigstens ein Steuerelement im Fahrzeug anzusteuern. Unter Steuerelementen sind hier solche Vorrichtungen gemeint, die direkt durch die Fahrzeuginsassen aktivierbar sind. Dazu zählen die Zündung, Gaspedal, Bremspedal und Kupplung sowie die Schaltung. Auch andere Steuerelemente wie Licht, Hupe und Scheibenwischer können in Abhängigkeit von der Insassenklassifizierung angesteuert werden. Stellt sich nämlich heraus, dass eine nicht fahrzeugtaugliche Person auf dem Fahrersitz erkannt wurde, dann werden die entsprechenden Steuerelemente deaktiviert. Weiterhin kann ein Steuerelement wie eine Bremse aktiviert werden, um das Fahrzeug zu fixieren. Die Erfindung nutzt, dass verschiedene Geräte und Funktionen im Fahrzeug miteinander vernetzt werden, so dass es möglich ist, mittels der Insassenerkennung die von einem Fahrzeug ausgehenden Risiken bei unsachgemäßer Benutzung, wie es bei nicht fahrzeugtauglichen Personen wie Kindern, vorkommen kann, zu verringern.The protective device according to the invention with a Has occupant detection with the features of the independent claim in contrast to that Advantage that the occupant recognition is now also used for this to control at least one control element in the vehicle. Under Control elements are meant here as devices that directly can be activated by the vehicle occupants. These include the Ignition, Accelerator pedal, brake pedal and clutch as well as the gear shift. Other controls too such as lights, horns and wipers can vary depending on the occupant classification can be controlled. It turns out that one is not vehicle-capable person was recognized in the driver's seat, then the corresponding controls are deactivated. Furthermore can a control such as a brake can be activated to the vehicle to fix. The invention uses various devices and functions be networked together in the vehicle so that it is possible the risks posed by a vehicle by means of occupant detection improper use, as happens to non-vehicle-compatible people such as children can decrease.
Durch die in den abhängigen Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen und Weiterbildungen sind vorteilhafte Verbesserungen der im unabhängigen Patentanspruch angegebenen Schutzvorrichtung mit einer Insassenerkennung möglich.Through the measures listed in the dependent claims and further developments are advantageous improvements in the independent claim specified protective device with an occupant detection possible.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass das Steuerelement ein Motorsteuergerät ist. Das Motorsteuergerät kann in Abhängigkeit von der Insassenerkennung derart angesteuert werden, dass es ein Starten des Motors verhindert, also beispielsweise die Zündung unterbricht. Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, dass das wenigstens eine Steuerelement eine Feststellbremse ist, beispielsweise eine elektronische Feststellbremse, um bei Erkennung eines Kindes diese zu aktivieren, um das Fahrzeug festzusetzen. Darüber hinaus ist es von Vorteil, dass das wenigstens eine Steuerelement eine Getriebesteuerung ist, die im Falle des Erkennens eines Kindes, eines Jugendlichen, eines freien Fahrersitzes oder eines Gegenstandes den Leerlauf oder die Parkposition einlegt. Dies wird insbesondere beim laufenden Motor aktiviert.It is particularly advantageous that the Control an engine control unit is. The engine control unit can be dependent be controlled by the occupant recognition in such a way that it is a Prevents the engine from starting, for example by interrupting the ignition. It is also advantageous that the at least one control element is a parking brake, for example an electronic parking brake, to activate the vehicle when a child is recognized increase. About that it is also advantageous that the at least one control element is a transmission control that, if a child is recognized, of a young person, a free driver's seat or an object engages the idle or the parking position. This will be particularly activated while the engine is running.
Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, dass die Schutzvorrichtung mit einer Schaltvorrichtung verbindbar ist, die derart konfiguriert ist, dass eine Betätigung der Schaltvorrichtung die Ansteuerung durch die Schutzvorrichtung rückgängig macht. Dies wird insbesondere dann Verwendung finden, wenn die Insassenerkennung die Person nicht richtig erkennen kann und auf eine nicht fahrzeugtaugliche Person erkennt, oder wenn die Sperrung durch die Insassenerkennung noch anhält. Die Schutzvorrichtung ist dabei vorteilhafterweise sichtgeschützt und versteckt angeordnet. Diese Schaltvorrichtung kann insbesondere mittels eines Codes betätigbar sein.It is also advantageous that the protective device can be connected to a switching device, which is configured such that an actuation of the switching device reverses the activation by the protective device. This will be particularly then be used when the occupant recognition does not identify the person can recognize correctly and on a person not suitable for vehicles recognizes, or if the lock by the occupant recognition still stops. The protective device is advantageously protected from view and arranged hidden. This switching device can in particular by means of operated by a code his.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt und werden in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert.Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing and are shown in the following Description closer explained.

Beschreibungdescription
Das Haupteinsatzgebiet von einer Insassenerkennung ist die Klassifizierung von Personen auf einem Fahrzeugsitz. Je nach erkannter Personengruppe wird derzeit das Verhalten von passiven Rückhaltemitteln im Fahrzeug beeinflusst.The main area of application of one Occupant recognition is the classification of people on one Vehicle seat. Depending on the group of people recognized, this is currently Behavior of passive restraint devices influenced in the vehicle.
Erfindungsgemäß wird nun eine Schutzvorrichtung mit einer Insassenerkennung vorgeschlagen, die bei Erkennen einer nicht fahrzeugtauglichen Person Schaltelemente im Fahrzeug ansteuert. Damit soll verhindert werden, dass bei einer nicht fahrzeugtauglichen Person es zu unvorhergesehenen Risiken durch das Fahrzeug kommt. Weiterhin nutzt die Erfindung die Vernetzung von Geräten in einem Fahrzeug, die beispielsweise über einen Fahrzeugbus wie den CAN-Bus erfolgen kann. Die Insassenerkennung wird hier als eine aktive Insassenerkennung verstanden, die anhand eines oder mehrerer Körpermerkmale eine Klassifizierung der Person in eine Gruppe vornimmt.According to the invention, there is now a protective device proposed with an occupant recognition, which when recognizing a Controls switching elements in the vehicle not suitable for vehicles. This is to prevent a vehicle-unsuitable Person can experience unforeseen risks from the vehicle. Furthermore, the invention uses the networking of devices in one Vehicle, for example, about a vehicle bus such as the CAN bus can take place. The occupant detection is understood here as an active occupant recognition that is based on one or more physical features classifies the person into a group.
