Aus der EP-A-O 246 772 ist eine Anordnung zur Dämpfung von Karosserieschwingungen bei Kraftfahrzeugen bekannt, wobei die Schwingungen z. B. durch das Überfahren von Fahrbahnunebenheiten verursacht werden. Die Karosserieschwingungen werden dazu mittels eines Beschleunigungssensors erfaßt und das Meßsignal in einer Recheneinheit ausgewertet. Die Fahrwerksdämpfer des Fahrzeuges werden in Abhängigkeit des Meßsignals so abgestimmt, daß Karosserieschwingungen reduziert werden.EP-A-O 246 772 describes an arrangement for damping Body vibrations in motor vehicles known, wherein the vibrations z. B. by driving over bumps caused. The body vibrations are detected by means of an acceleration sensor and the measurement signal is evaluated in a computing unit. The Suspension of the vehicle are dependent on the Measuring signal adjusted so that body vibrations be reduced.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, für eine fahrgeräuschabhängige Steuerung der Lautstärke eines Autoradios die Ableitung eines fahrgeräuschabhängigen Signals dahingehend zu verbessern, daß sich Maßnahmen zum Entfernen von Nutzsignalanteilen aus den Steuersignalen erübrigen.The object of the present invention is for a Control of the volume of a vehicle based on driving noise Car radios the derivation of a driving noise dependent Signals to improve that measures to Removal of useful signal components from the control signals spare.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Einrichtung nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Dabei kann vereinfachend vorgesehen sein, daß der Beschleunigungssenor im wesentlichen vertikale Beschleunigungen mißt.This object is achieved by the device according to claim 1. Doing so can be simplistic be provided that the acceleration sensor in measures significant vertical accelerations.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß Fahrgeräusche hauptsächlich als Körperschall in den Innenraum (Fahrgastkabine) des Kraftfahrzeugs übertragen werden. Dieses sind insbesondere die Motorgeräusche und das Abrollgeräusch der Reifen. Maßnahmen zur Entfernung des Nutzsignalanteils aus dem mit Hilfe des Beschleunigungssenors gewonnenen Signal sind bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung nicht erforderlich.The invention is based on the knowledge that driving noises mainly as structure-borne noise in the interior (Passenger cabin) of the motor vehicle are transmitted. This is especially the engine noise and that Tire rolling noise. Measures to remove the Useful signal portion from the with the help of the acceleration sensor obtained signal are in the invention Setup not required.

Insbesondere wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Beschleunigungssensor im Autoradio angeordnet ist, weist die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung den weiteren Vorteil auf, daß im Kraftfahrzeug selbst keine weiteren Installationen erforderlich sind - wie beispielsweise die Verlegung von Leitungen und die Montage eines Mikrofons. In particular if according to a further development of the Acceleration sensor is arranged in the car radio, the The inventive device has the further advantage that no further installations in the motor vehicle itself are required - such as laying Lines and mounting a microphone.

Vorzugsweise ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung vorgesehen, daß der Beschleunigungssensor starr mit dem Gehäuse des Autoradios verbunden ist. Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung besteht darin, daß der Beschleunigungssensor eine Signalbandbreite von etwa 1 kHz aufweist. Dadurch wird der gesamte eine Maskierung erforderliche Spektralbereich des Körperschalls abgedeckt und es können auf dem Markt erhältliche Beschleunigungssensoren verwendet werden, wie beispielsweise der Beschleunigungssensor Typ ADXL50 der Firma Analog Devices.Preferably in the device according to the invention provided that the acceleration sensor rigid with the Car radio housing is connected. An advantageous one Design of the device according to the invention exists in that the acceleration sensor has a signal bandwidth of about 1 kHz. This makes the whole one Masking required spectral range of structure-borne noise covered and it can be available on the market Acceleration sensors are used, such as the acceleration sensor type ADXL50 from Analog Devices.

Obwohl die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung grundsätzlich auch für eine frequenzunabhängige Lautstärkeregelung geeignet ist, werden bessere Ergebnisse mit einer frequenzabhängigen Maskierung erzielt, für die gemäß einer Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung vorgesehen ist, daß ein Ausgang des Beschleunigungssensors über eine Signalverarbeitungsschaltung mit einem vorgegebenen Algorithmus und die vom Autoradio erzeugten Audiosignale einem Mehrkanal-Equalizer zuführbar sind, dessen Ausgänge mit Steuereingängen der Signalverarbeitungsschaltung und mit Eingängen von Endstufen verbunden sind.Although the device according to the invention also in principle suitable for frequency-independent volume control is, better results with a frequency dependent Masking achieved for which according to a training of device according to the invention is provided that a Output of the acceleration sensor via a Signal processing circuit with a predetermined Algorithm and the audio signals generated by the car radio a multi-channel equalizer can be fed, the outputs with control inputs of the signal processing circuit and with Inputs from power amplifiers are connected.

Durch Doppelpfeile sind jeweils die auf die Räder einwirkenden Kräfte und die vom Motor ausgehenden auf die Karosserie wirkenden Kräfte veranschaulicht. Man erkennt, daß somit senkrecht wirkende Kräfte einen maßgeblichen Anteil am Körperschall haben. Ein Beschleunigungssensor 8 ist daher so angeordnet, daß er die senkrechte Beschleunigung erfaßt.Fig. 1 shows schematically a car with a body 1, front wheels 2, rear wheels 3, an engine 4 and one Car radio 5, the speakers 6, 7 only hinted at are.

Von der NF-Quelle 11 werden die Audiosignale L und R einem Mehrkanal-Equalizer 12 zugeführt, der über vier Ausgänge mit vier Endstufen 13, 14, 15, 16 für vier Lautsprecher 17, 18, 19, 20 verbunden ist. Dabei bedeuten LF und RF die Signale für den linken und den rechten vorderen Lautsprecher, während die Signale LR und RR die Signale für den linken hinteren und rechten hinteren Lautsprecher kennzeichnen. Die Endstufen 14 und 15 invertieren jeweils das Ausgangssignal, was durch ein Minuszeichen gekennzeichnet ist.Fig. 3 shows a block diagram of an inventive Facility where the not specifically for the Invention adapted parts of the car radio, such as for example receiving part, if necessary Cassette player, stereo decoder and audio amplifier in one Circuit 11 are summarized as an NF source.
