Description

Dynamische Zusatz-BremsleuchteDynamic additional brake light

Die Erfindung betrifft eine zusätzliche dritte Bremsleuchte für Kraftfahrzeuge, welche je nach aufgewendetem Bremsdruck ein verschiedenartiges Leuchtverhalten aufweist.The invention relates to an additional third brake light for motor vehicles, which has a different lighting behavior depending on the brake pressure applied.

Im Stand der Technik ist bisher eine dritte Bremsleuchte am Heck des Kfz bekannt, welche bei Betätigung des Bremspedals die volle Leuchtkraft entwickelt. Da ebenfalls die zwei standardmäßigen Bremsleuchten des Kfz das eigentliche Bremsverhalten (Bremsintensität) nicht wiederspiegelt, fehlt für den nachfolgenden Verkehr ein Orientierungsmoment zur Regulierung des eigenen Bremsverhaltens.The current state of the art includes a third brake light at the rear of the vehicle, which develops full luminosity when the brake pedal is pressed. Since the two standard brake lights on the vehicle do not reflect the actual braking behavior (braking intensity), following traffic lacks an orientation moment for regulating their own braking behavior.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, daß durch frühzeitiges Erkennen der Bremsintensität des vorherfahrenden Kfz Auffahrunfälle und Kettenreaktionen vermieden werden können, welche zum völligen Stillstand des Nachfolgeverkehrs führen.Based on this state of the art, the invention is based on the object of preventing rear-end collisions and chain reactions by early detection of the braking intensity of the preceding vehicle, which lead to the complete standstill of the following traffic.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung eine dynamische zusätzliche dritte Bremsleuchte vor, welche entweder stufenlos (Figur 1) oder in einem 3-Stufen-System (Figur 3) in Abhängigkeit von der Bremsintensität anspricht. Das Leuchtband (5) besteht aus einer Vielzahl von parallel zueinander angeordneten Leuchtdioden (2). Bei vorherrschendem Bremsdruck beginnt eine Illumination der Leuchtdioden (2) im Leuchtband (5) immer gleichzeitig von von den beiden Außenpositionen des Leuchtbandes (5), so daß bei stärkerem Bremsverhalten zur Mitte des Leuchtbandes (5) hin mehr Leuchtdioden angeregt werden. Bei starkem Bremsverhalten sind somit alle Leuchtdioden (2) illuminiert.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a dynamic additional third brake light, which responds either continuously (Figure 1) or in a 3-stage system (Figure 3) depending on the braking intensity. The light strip (5) consists of a large number of LEDs (2) arranged parallel to one another. When the brake pressure prevails, the LEDs (2) in the light strip (5) always start to illuminate simultaneously from the two outer positions of the light strip (5), so that when the braking behavior is stronger, more LEDs are stimulated towards the middle of the light strip (5). When the braking behavior is strong, all LEDs (2) are illuminated.

Figur 2 zeigt vier äußere illuminierte Leuchtdioden (3). Es herrscht schwacher Bremsdruck vor.Figure 2 shows four external illuminated LEDs (3). There is weak braking pressure.

Das 3-Stufen-System (Figur 3) ist in fünf Bereiche (a-e) eingeteilt, die je
nach Stärke des Bremsdruckes erleuchten.The 3-stage system (Figure 3) is divided into five areas (ae), each
illuminate according to the strength of the brake pressure.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und im folgenden näher beschrieben. Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das Ausführungsbeispiel
beschränkt, sondern im Rahmen der Offenbarung vielfach variabel.An embodiment is shown in the drawings and described in more detail below. The invention is not limited to the embodiment
limited, but variable in many ways within the framework of revelation.
