Abstract

Electronic switching device for motor vehicle lights. The specified switching device assumes switching processes of the motor vehicle lights independently of human faculties. The said device switches on the motor vehicle lights automatically when it becomes dark or dusk or visibility is poor due to weather conditions. The advantages achieved with the invention consist in the fact that the risk at which many road users are placed is eliminated if the motor vehicle lights have to be switched on precisely in the case of dusk or poor visibility due to weather conditions. Furthermore the switching device provides additional safety on all public roads since switching processes for the motor vehicle lights are controlled automatically.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektronisches Schaltgerät für die KFZ-Beleuchtung. Das vorgegebene Schaltgerät befindet sich im oder am Innenspiegel des KFZ zur Windschutzscheibe hin gelegen. Es schaltet automatisch bei einbrechender Dunkelheit; Dämmerung oder witterungsbedingter schlechter Sichtverhältnisse die KFZ-Beleuchtung ein. Nach dem heutigen Stand der Technik werden alle elektr. Schaltvorgänge der KFZ-Beleuchtung noch handlich getätigt.The invention relates to an electronic Switchgear for automotive lighting. The specified switching device is located in or on the inside mirror of the car to the windshield located there. It switches automatically when it breaks Darkness; Twilight or weather related poor visibility the car lighting a. According to the current state of the art, everyone electr. Switching operations of car lighting still made handy.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, unabhängig vom menschlichen Geist Schaltvorgänge der KFZ-Beleuchtung automatisch zu steuern.The invention is based, independently switching operations from the human mind to control the vehicle lighting automatically.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das elektrische Schaltgerät für die KFZ-Beleuchtung unabhängig arbeitet.
Es ist in den vorhandenen elektrischen Stromkreislauf der KFZ-Beleuchtung mittels Schaltrelais geschaltet.This object is achieved in that the electrical switching device for automotive lighting works independently.
It is connected to the existing electrical circuit of the vehicle lighting using a switching relay.

Das Schaltgerät befindet sich im oder am Innenspiegel des KFZ und wird durch eine Photozelle gesteuert. Der Lichteinfall zur Photozelle befindet sich auf der Rückseite des Innenspiegels zur Windschutzscheibe hin gelegen.The switching device is located in or on the inside mirror of the vehicle and is replaced by a photocell controlled. The incidence of light to the photocell is on the back of the inside mirror facing the windshield located there.

Die Verkabelung des Schaltgerätes erfolgt über den Haltebügel des Innenspiegels; entlang der Windschutzscheibe seitlich unter die Armkonsole und weiter unter die Motorhaube.The switching device is cabled via the bracket of the interior mirror; along the Windshield under the arm console and further under the hood.

Der äussere Lichteinfall des Steuergerätes ist so gestellt, daß bei eventuell starkem Gegenlichteinfall von aussen z. B. Fernlicht von entgegenkommenden KFZ keine Steuerungsverzögerungen eintreten können. The external light incidence of the control unit is so that if there is a strong backlight from the outside z. B. high beam from oncoming Motor vehicle control delays do not occur can.  

Die electrischen Schaltleitungen und Schaltstellungen zu den Verbraucherstellen der KFZ Beleuchtung Fig. 3 verlaufen wie folgt:The electrical switching lines and switching positions to the consumer points of the vehicle lighting Fig. 3 run as follows:

Vom electronischen Schaltgerät (1) welches sich im oder am Innenspiegelgehäuse des KFZ (2) zur Windschutzscheibe (3) in Fahrtrichtung gelegen befindet, über die Zündung des KFZ (4) durch eine Kontrolleuchte (5) welche die Beleuchtung des KFZ durch das electronische Schaltgerät anzeigt, in ein Sicherungsgehäuse (6).From the electronic switching device ( 1 ) which is located in or on the inside mirror housing of the vehicle ( 2 ) to the windshield ( 3 ) in the direction of travel, via the ignition of the vehicle ( 4 ) by a control lamp ( 5 ) which illuminates the vehicle through the electronic switching device indicates in a fuse housing ( 6 ).

Deren einzelne Sicherungselemente die electr. Leitungen und Schaltungen zusätzlich absichern, zu einem Schaltrelais (7) und von dort zu den einzelnen electrischen Verbraucherstellen der der KFZ Beleuchtung; wie vordere Scheinwerfer (8) sowie den Schluss- und Kennzeichenleuchten (9).The individual fuse elements the electr. Secure lines and circuits additionally, to a switching relay ( 7 ) and from there to the individual electrical consumer points of the vehicle lighting; such as front headlights ( 8 ) and the rear and license plate lights ( 9 ).

Die electrische Energie des Schaltgerätes und der KFZ Beleuchtungsanlage erfolgt über die Batterie des KFZ (10).The electrical energy of the switching device and the vehicle lighting system comes from the battery of the vehicle ( 10 ).
