Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ablageanordnung mit zumindest einem Ablagefach und einer in dieses integrierten Desinfektionsvorrichtung mit zumindest einer UV-C-Strahlung emittierenden Lichtquelle. The invention relates to a storage arrangement with at least one storage compartment and a disinfection device integrated in this compartment with at least one light source emitting UV-C radiation.
Aus der US 2015/0137747 A1 ist ein Lade- und Desinfektionsfach für ein Fahrzeug bekannt. Das Lade- und Desinfektionsfach umfasst ein kabelloses Ladegerät zum Laden eines elektronischen Gerätes und eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung. Die Beleuchtungsvorrichtung umfasst eine Desinfektionsvorrichtung, die mindestens einen Photolumineszenz-Indikator enthält. Eine Steuerung steht mit dem kabellosen Ladegerät und der Beleuchtungsvorrichtung in Verbindung und kann den Photolumineszenz- Indikator steuern, indem ein Sterilisationsvorgang mit der Desinfektionsvorrichtung eingeleitet wird. A charging and disinfection compartment for a vehicle is known from US 2015/0137747 A1. The charging and disinfecting compartment includes a wireless charger for charging an electronic device and a lighting device. The lighting device includes a disinfection device containing at least one photoluminescent indicator. A controller is in communication with the wireless charger and the lighting device and can control the photoluminescent indicator by initiating a sterilization process with the disinfection device.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ablagefachanordnung mit einem Ablagefach und einer in dieser integrierten Desinfektionsvorrichtung anzugeben. The invention is based on the object of specifying a storage compartment arrangement with a storage compartment and a disinfection device integrated in this compartment.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Ablageanordnung gelöst, welche die in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale aufweist. The object is achieved according to the invention by a storage arrangement which has the features specified in claim 1 .
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Advantageous configurations of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
Eine Ablageanordnung, insbesondere für ein Fahrzeug, weist zumindest ein Ablagefach und eine in dieses integrierte Desinfektionsvorrichtung mit zumindest einer UV-C- Strahlung emittierenden Lichtquelle auf. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Ablagefach, in welches die Desinfektionsvorrichtung integriert ist, ein Deckelelement aufweist und das Ablagefach bei geschlossenem Deckelelement strahlendicht ausgeführt ist. Zudem ist eine Sicherheitsvorrichtung vorgesehen, welche insbesondere an einem Gehäuse der Desinfektionsvorrichtung angeordnet ist, und welche ausgebildet ist, anhand erfasster Signale einen Zustand des Deckelelementes zur Aktivierung oder Deaktivierung der Desinfektionsvorrichtung zu ermitteln. A storage arrangement, in particular for a vehicle, has at least one storage compartment and a disinfection device integrated into this compartment with at least one light source emitting UV-C radiation. According to the invention, it is provided that the storage compartment, in which the disinfection device is integrated, has a cover element and the storage compartment is designed to be radiopaque when the cover element is closed. In addition, a safety device is provided, which is arranged in particular on a housing of the disinfection device, and which is designed using detected signals to determine a state of the cover element for activating or deactivating the disinfection device.
Mittels einer derart ausgebildeten Ablagefachanordnung kann ein Gefährdungspotential, dass ein Nutzer der Desinfektionsvorrichtung von der UV-C-Strahlung geblendet wird oder mit seiner Haut mit der UV-C-Strahlung in Kontakt kommt, erheblich verringert werden. Zum einen ist das Ablagefach mit der Desinfektionsvorrichtung mittels des Deckelelementes strahlendicht verschließbar und zum anderen ist die Sicherheitsvorrichtung vorgesehen, mittels welcher sichergestellt werden kann, dass die zumindest eine UV-C-Strahlung emittierende Lichtquelle nur dann aktiviert wird, wenn ermittelt wird, dass das Deckelelement geschlossen ist. Es wird also weitestgehend sichergestellt, dass eine UV-C-Bestrahlung eines in dem Ablagefach abgelegten Gegenstandes, bei welchem es sich beispielsweise um ein Smartphone, ein Portemonnaie oder einen Schlüssel handeln kann, ausschließlich bei geschlossenem Ablagefach erfolgt, so dass keine UV-C-Strahlung nach außen, d. h. nach außerhalb des Ablagefaches, dringen kann. Mittels der Ablagefachanordnung kann eine Gebrauchssicherheit bei einer Nutzung der Desinfektionsvorrichtung erheblich erhöht werden. By means of a storage compartment arrangement designed in this way, a risk potential that a user of the disinfection device is blinded by the UV-C radiation or comes into contact with his skin with the UV-C radiation can be significantly reduced. On the one hand, the storage compartment with the disinfection device can be closed in a radiation-tight manner by means of the cover element and, on the other hand, the safety device is provided, by means of which it can be ensured that the light source emitting at least one UV-C radiation is only activated if it is determined that the cover element closed is. It is thus ensured as far as possible that UV-C irradiation of an object stored in the storage compartment, which can be a smartphone, a wallet or a key, for example, only takes place when the storage compartment is closed, so that no UV-C Radiation to the outside, i. H. outside of the storage compartment. By means of the storage compartment arrangement, operational safety when using the disinfection device can be significantly increased.
In einer Ausführungsform ist die Sicherheitsvorrichtung ausgebildet, die zumindest eine UV-C-Strahlung emittierende Lichtquelle bei geschlossenem Deckelelement zu aktivieren und bei geöffnetem Deckelelement zu deaktivieren. Somit kann weitestgehend sichergestellt werden, dass die zumindest eine UV-C-Strahlung emittierende Lichtquelle nur dann aktiviert wird, wenn das Deckelelement geschlossen ist. Somit kann zudem ein Augen- und/oder Hautkontakt eines Nutzers der Desinfektionsvorrichtung mit der emittierten UV-C-Strahlung im Wesentlichen ausgeschlossen werden. In one embodiment, the safety device is designed to activate the light source emitting at least one UV-C radiation when the cover element is closed and to deactivate it when the cover element is open. It can thus be largely ensured that the light source emitting at least one UV-C radiation is only activated when the cover element is closed. Thus, eye and/or skin contact of a user of the disinfection device with the emitted UV-C radiation can also be essentially ruled out.
In einerweiteren Ausführungsform der Ablagefachanordnung sind bzw. ist das Ablagefach bildende Wandungen und/oder eine dem Ablagefach zugewandte Innenseite des Deckelelementes mit einer UV-C-Strahlung reflektierenden Verkleidung versehen. Somit kann eine Strahleneffizienz zur Desinfektion des in dem Ablagefach abgelegten Gegenstandes erhöht werden. Beispielsweise kann dadurch eine erforderliche Zeitdauer zur Desinfektion des Gegenstandes verringert werden. In a further embodiment of the storage compartment arrangement, walls forming the storage compartment and/or an inner side of the cover element facing the storage compartment are provided with a lining that reflects UV-C radiation. Radiation efficiency for disinfecting the object placed in the storage compartment can thus be increased. For example, the time required to disinfect the object can be reduced in this way.
In einer Weiterbildung weist die Verkleidung zumindest eine Aluminiumbeschichtung auf, durch welche die Strahleneffizienz der UV-C-Strahlung, welche von der zumindest einen Lichtquelle der Desinfektionsvorrichtung emittiert wird, erhöht wird. In das Ablagefach sind bzw. ist in einer Ausbildung der Ablagefachanordnung eine UV-C- Strahlung reflektierende Matte und/oder eine reflektierende wannenförmigen Aufnahmeeinheit mit von einem Bodenbereich in regelmäßigen Abständen zueinander abragenden Abstandshaltern angeordnet. Der zu desinfizierende Gegenstand wird auf der Matte und/oder in der Aufnahmeeinheit angeordnet, wobei der Gegenstand im Wesentlichen punktuell auf den Abstandshaltern aufliegt. Die Matte und/oder Aufnahmeeinheit sind bzw. ist reflektierend ausgebildet, so dass eine Unterseite des zu desinfizierenden Gegenstandes, welcher auf den Abstandshaltern angeordnet ist, gleichzeitig mit einer Oberseite des Gegenstandes desinfiziert werden kann. Dadurch kann nochmals eine Zeitdauer zur Desinfektion des Gegenstandes verringert werden, so dass es in vergleichsweise kurzer Zeit möglich ist, den Gegenstand effektiv zu desinfizieren. In a development, the cover has at least one aluminum coating, which increases the radiation efficiency of the UV-C radiation emitted by the at least one light source of the disinfection device. In one embodiment of the storage compartment arrangement, a UV-C radiation-reflecting mat and/or a reflective trough-shaped receiving unit with spacers projecting from a floor area at regular intervals from one another are arranged in the storage compartment. The object to be disinfected is arranged on the mat and/or in the receiving unit, with the object resting essentially at certain points on the spacers. The mat and/or receiving unit are or is designed to be reflective, so that an underside of the object to be disinfected, which is arranged on the spacers, can be disinfected at the same time as an upper side of the object. As a result, a period of time for disinfecting the object can be further reduced, so that it is possible to effectively disinfect the object in a comparatively short time.
Eine weitere Ausbildung der Ablagefachanordnung sieht vor, dass zumindest die wannenförmige Aufnahmeeinheit und/oder die Matte in einem aus dem Ablagefach entnehmbaren Rahmenelement angeordnet sind bzw. ist. Somit kann die Desinfektionsvorrichtung insbesondere als Nachrüstlösung in das Ablagefach integriert sein, wobei hierzu ein entsprechender elektrischer Anschluss zur elektrischen Kontaktierung der zumindest einen Lichtquelle und der Sicherheitsvorrichtung mit einem Bordnetz des Fahrzeuges in dem Ablagefach vorhanden ist. A further embodiment of the storage compartment arrangement provides that at least the trough-shaped receiving unit and/or the mat are/is arranged in a frame element that can be removed from the storage compartment. The disinfection device can thus be integrated in the storage compartment, in particular as a retrofit solution, with a corresponding electrical connection for electrical contacting of the at least one light source and the safety device with an on-board network of the vehicle being present in the storage compartment.
In einer weiteren möglichen Ausführungsform der Ablagefachanordnung ist das Ablagefach unterhalb eines weiteren Ablagefaches angeordnet, wobei das Deckelelement des Ablagefaches zumindest bereichsweise ein Bodenelement des weiteren Ablagefaches bildet. Somit weist die Ablagefachanordnung zwei Ablagefächer auf, von denen in das untere Ablagefach die Desinfektionsvorrichtung integriert ist und das obere weitere Ablagefach zur Verstauung weiterer Gegenstände oder bereits desinfizierter Gegenstände genutzt werden kann. In a further possible embodiment of the storage compartment arrangement, the storage compartment is arranged below a further storage compartment, with the cover element of the storage compartment forming a base element of the further storage compartment at least in regions. The storage compartment arrangement thus has two storage compartments, of which the disinfection device is integrated into the lower storage compartment and the upper additional storage compartment can be used to store further objects or objects that have already been disinfected.
Das weitere Ablagefach weist in einer möglichen Ausbildung ein weiteres Deckelelement zum Verschließen des weiteren Ablagefaches auf und die Sicherheitsvorrichtung ist zusätzlich ausgebildet, anhand erfasster Signale einen Zustand des weiteren Deckelelementes zu ermitteln. Hierzu sieht ein Sicherheitskonzept der Ablagefachanordnung vor, dass die Desinfektionsvorrichtung nur dann aktiviert werden kann, wenn sowohl das Deckelelement des Ablagefaches als auch das weitere Deckelelement des weiteren Ablagefaches geschlossen sind. In einer Ausführungsform weist die Sicherheitsvorrichtung zumindest einen Sensor, insbesondere einen lidarbasierten Sensor, einen RFID-Transponder, einen infrarotbasierten Sensor, einen Hall-Sensor und/oder einen kapazitiven Sensor zur Ermittlung des Zustandes des jeweiligen Deckelelementes auf. Insbesondere weist die Sicherheitsvorrichtung eine Erfassungseinheit auf, die zumindest im Betrieb des Fahrzeuges fortlaufend Signale erfasst, anhand derer der Zustand des Deckelelementes und gegebenenfalls des weiteren Deckelelementes zuverlässig detektierbar ist. Somit kann dann weitestgehend sichergestellt werden, dass ein Augen- und/oder Hautkontakt eines Nutzers mit der UV-C-Strahlung in Berührung kommt. In one possible embodiment, the further storage compartment has a further cover element for closing the further storage compartment, and the safety device is additionally designed to determine a state of the further cover element on the basis of detected signals. For this purpose, a safety concept of the storage compartment arrangement provides that the disinfection device can only be activated when both the cover element of the storage compartment and the further cover element of the further storage compartment are closed. In one embodiment, the safety device has at least one sensor, in particular a lidar-based sensor, an RFID transponder, an infrared-based sensor, a Hall sensor and/or a capacitive sensor for determining the state of the respective cover element. In particular, the safety device has a detection unit that continuously detects signals, at least when the vehicle is in operation, by means of which the state of the cover element and optionally of the further cover element can be reliably detected. It can then be ensured as far as possible that a user's eyes and/or skin come into contact with the UV-C radiation.
In einer weiteren Ausführung sind bzw. ist das Deckelelement und/oder das weitere Deckelelement als schwenkbarer Klappdeckel oder als Schieberolle ausgebildet. Insbesondere ist zumindest das Deckelelement des Ablagefaches mit der integrierten Desinfektionsvorrichtung derart ausgebildet, dass dieses Ablagefach strahlendicht ist und somit keine UV-C-Strahlung nach außen dringt. In a further embodiment, the cover element and/or the further cover element are designed as a pivotable hinged cover or as a sliding roller. In particular, at least the cover element of the storage compartment with the integrated disinfection device is designed in such a way that this storage compartment is radiation-tight and therefore no UV-C radiation penetrates to the outside.

Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Ausschnittes eines Ablagefaches F1 mit einer integrierten Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 einer Ablagefachanordnung A. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a section of a storage compartment F1 with an integrated disinfection device 1 of a storage compartment arrangement A.
In Figur 2 ist eine Schnittdarstellung der Ablagefachanordnung A mit dem Ablagefach F1 und einem weiteren Ablagefach F2 gezeigt, wobei in Figur 3 eine Schnittdarstellung der Ablagefachanordnung A mit dem Ablagefach F1 und einem geöffneten Deckelelement 3 und dem weiteren Ablagefach F2 dargestellt ist. FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the storage compartment arrangement A with the storage compartment F1 and a further storage compartment F2, with FIG. 3 showing a sectional view of the storage compartment arrangement A with the storage compartment F1 and an open cover element 3 and the further storage compartment F2.
Figur 4 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht des Ablagefaches F1 mit der integrierten Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 und dem teiltransparent dargestellten Deckelelement 3. Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the storage compartment F1 with the integrated disinfection device 1 and the partially transparent cover element 3.
Die Ablagefachanordnung A ist in einem nicht näher gezeigten Fahrzeug angeordnet, wobei es sich beispielsweise um ein sogenanntes Kinematikfach oder ein Handschuhfach handeln kann. Auch kann die Ablagefachanordnung in eine Mittelkonsole des Fahrzeuges integriert sein. The storage compartment arrangement A is arranged in a vehicle, not shown in detail, which can be, for example, a so-called kinematics compartment or a glove compartment. The storage compartment arrangement can also be integrated into a center console of the vehicle.
Mittels der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 kann, insbesondere im Fährbetrieb des Fahrzeuges, ein in dem Ablagefach F1 abgelegter Gegenstand, beispielsweise ein Smartphone, ein Schlüssel, ein Mund- und Nasenschutz, das Ablagefach F1 selbst etc. desinfiziert werden. Hierzu weist die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 eine Anordnung von UV- C-Strahlung S emittierenden Lichtquellen 2, insbesondere ein sogenanntes LED-Array, auf. Dabei kann eine Anzahl der Lichtquellen 2 variieren, wobei die Desinfektionsvorrichtung zumindest eine Lichtquelle 2, z. B. eine LED aufweist. Using the disinfection device 1, an object stored in the storage compartment F1, for example a smartphone, a key, a mouth and nose protection, the storage compartment F1 itself, etc., can be disinfected, in particular when the vehicle is in ferry mode. For this purpose, the disinfection device 1 has an arrangement of light sources 2 emitting UV-C radiation S, in particular a so-called LED array. The number of light sources 2 can vary, with the disinfection device having at least one light source 2, e.g. B. has an LED.
Mittels UV-C-Strahlung S ist es möglich, Bakterien und Keime unschädlich zu machen, wodurch ein Ansteckungs- und Erkrankungsrisiko, insbesondere für Menschen, verringert werden kann. Die kurzwellige UV-C-Strahlung S ist ebenfalls vergleichsweise gefährlich für Menschen, so dass ein Augen- und Hautkontakt vermieden werden sollte. Aufgrund des Gefährdungspotentials ist es erforderlich, sicherzustellen, dass eine Bestrahlung ein in dem Ablagefach F1 abgelegten Gegenstandes ausschließlich bei geschlossenem Ablagefach F1 durchgeführt wird und keine UV-C-Strahlung S nach außen dringt. UV-C radiation S makes it possible to render bacteria and germs harmless, which can reduce the risk of infection and illness, especially for people. The short-wave UV-C radiation S is also comparatively dangerous for humans, so that eye and skin contact should be avoided. Because of the risk potential, it is necessary to ensure that an object placed in the storage compartment F1 is irradiated only when the storage compartment F1 is closed and that no UV-C radiation S penetrates to the outside.
Hierzu ist das Ablagefach F1 mittels des Deckelelementes 3 verschließbar, welches, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, als Klappdeckel ausgebildet sein kann. Alternativ dazu kann das Deckelelement 3 als Schieberollo ausgebildet sein und/oder eine andere geeignete Form aufweisen. Ist das Deckelelement 3 geschlossen, ist das Ablagefach F1 in Bezug auf die UV-C-Strahlung S strahlendicht ausgeführt, so dass keine UV-C-Strahlung S nach außen dringt. Dadurch, dass das Ablagefach F1 strahlendicht ausgeführt ist, kann die UV-C- Strahlung S vergleichsweise sicher eingegrenzt werden. Beispielsweise kann zum strahlendichten Verschließen des Ablagefaches F1 ein Magnetverschluss vorgesehen sein, wobei ein Magnet, insbesondere ein Permanentmagnet oder eine Elektromagnet in dem Deckelelement 3 angeordnet ist und ein ferromagnetisches Gegenstück in einem Randbereich des Ablagefaches F1 angeordnet ist, wobei eine Position des Magnetes mit einer Position des ferromagnetischen Gegenstückes korrespondiert. For this purpose, the storage compartment F1 can be closed by means of the cover element 3, which, as shown in FIG. 3, can be in the form of a hinged cover. Alternatively, it can Cover element 3 can be designed as a sliding roller blind and/or have another suitable shape. If the cover element 3 is closed, the storage compartment F1 is designed to be radiation-proof with respect to the UV-C radiation S, so that no UV-C radiation S penetrates to the outside. Due to the fact that the storage compartment F1 is designed to be radiation-tight, the UV-C radiation S can be contained comparatively reliably. For example, a magnetic closure can be provided to close the storage compartment F1 in a radiation-tight manner, with a magnet, in particular a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, being arranged in the cover element 3 and a ferromagnetic counterpart being arranged in an edge region of the storage compartment F1, with a position of the magnet corresponding to a position of the ferromagnetic counterpart.
In einer möglichen Ausführung weist das Deckelelement 3 einen sogenannten Butterflyverschluss auf, so dass ein versehentliches Öffnen des Deckelelementes 3 weitestgehend ausgeschlossen werden kann. In one possible embodiment, the cover element 3 has a so-called butterfly lock, so that accidental opening of the cover element 3 can be largely ruled out.
Wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigt ist, weist die Ablagefachanordnung A eine Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 auf, die in dem in den beiden Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel in die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 integriert ist. Insbesondere weist die Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 zumindest einen Sensor 5 auf, welcher, beispielsweise bei aktiver Zündung des Fahrzeuges, fortlaufend Signale erfasst, anhand derer ein Zustand des Deckelelementes 3 ermittelt wird. Insbesondere wird als Zustand ermittelt, ob das Deckelelement 3 geöffnet oder geschlossen ist. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the storage compartment arrangement A has a safety device 4 which is integrated into the disinfection device 1 in the exemplary embodiment shown in the two figures. In particular, the safety device 4 has at least one sensor 5 which, for example when the ignition of the vehicle is active, continuously detects signals based on which a state of the cover element 3 is determined. In particular, whether the cover element 3 is open or closed is determined as the state.
Beispielsweise kann als Sensor 5 ein Schalter angeordnet sein, wobei in Abhängigkeit einer jeweiligen Schalterstellung ermittelbar ist, ob das Ablagefach F1 geschlossen oder geöffnet ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist der Zustand des Deckelelementes 3 anhand erfasster Signale eines lidarbasierten Sensors 5, eines Transponders, eines infrarotbasierten Sensors 5, eines Hall-Sensor und/oder eines kapazitiven Sensors 5 als Komponente oder Komponenten der Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 ermittelbar. For example, a switch can be arranged as the sensor 5, it being possible to determine whether the storage compartment F1 is closed or open as a function of a respective switch position. Alternatively or additionally, the state of the cover element 3 can be determined using detected signals from a lidar-based sensor 5, a transponder, an infrared-based sensor 5, a Hall sensor and/or a capacitive sensor 5 as a component or components of the safety device 4.
Insbesondere weist die Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 einen lidarbasierten Sensor 5 auf, dessen Erfassungsbereich in Richtung des Deckelelementes 3 ausgerichtet ist. In particular, the safety device 4 has a lidar-based sensor 5 whose detection range is aligned in the direction of the cover element 3 .
Der Sensor 5 ist an einem Gehäuse 6 der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 angeordnet, wobei erfasste Signale einer nicht näher gezeigten Steuereinheit zur Auswertung und Verarbeitung zugeführt werden. Sensor 5 und Lichtquellen 2 sind dabei in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in ein gemeinsames Modul, d. h. in die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1, integriert, welche auch gemeinsam eingebaut und ausgetauscht werden kann. Darüber hinaus kann es, je nach gegebenen Bauraum-Verhältnissen, sinnvoll sein, Sensor 5 und Lichtquellen 2 getrennt voneinander und/oder in einem Abstand zueinander an der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 anzuordnen. The sensor 5 is arranged on a housing 6 of the disinfection device 1, with detected signals being fed to a control unit (not shown in detail) for evaluation and processing. Sensor 5 and light sources 2 are in this embodiment in a common module, ie in the disinfection device 1, integrated, which can also be installed and exchanged together. In addition, depending on the given installation space conditions, it can be useful to arrange the sensor 5 and light sources 2 separately from one another and/or at a distance from one another on the disinfection device 1 .
Zum Betrieb der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 ist vorgesehen, dass diese aktiviert wird, sobald anhand erfasster Signale des Sensors 5 ermittelt wird, dass ein anhand eines Signalverlaufes V ermittelter Abstand zwischen dem Sensor 4 und dem Deckelelement 3 einen vorgegebenen Schwellwert unterschreitet. In Bezug auf den vorgegebenen Schwellwert ist eine Bauteiltoleranz berücksichtigt, so dass die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 aktiviert wird, wenn sich der ermittelte Abstand in einem mittels des Schwellwertes vorgegebenen Entfernungsbereich befindet. To operate the disinfection device 1 , it is provided that it is activated as soon as it is determined on the basis of detected signals from the sensor 5 that a distance between the sensor 4 and the cover element 3 determined on the basis of a signal curve V falls below a predetermined threshold value. A component tolerance is taken into account in relation to the predefined threshold value, so that the disinfection device 1 is activated if the determined distance is in a distance range predefined by means of the threshold value.
Aus Sicherheitsgründen wird die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 erst dann aktiviert, auch wenn der Abstand den vorgegebenen Schwellwert unterschreitet, wenn zusätzlich eine vorgegebene Zeitdauer, z. B. von zwei Sekunden, überschritten ist. For safety reasons, the disinfection device 1 is only activated, even if the distance falls below the predetermined threshold value, if an additional predetermined period of time, e.g. B. of two seconds is exceeded.
Der Abstand zwischen dem Deckelelement 3 und dem Sensor 5 wird in vergleichsweise kurzen Zeitabständen ermittelt, so dass eine Fehlbedienung der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 weitestgehend ausgeschlossen werden kann. The distance between the cover element 3 and the sensor 5 is determined at comparatively short time intervals, so that incorrect operation of the disinfection device 1 can be largely ruled out.
Gegebenenfalls kann hierzu vorgesehen sein, dass die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 vor der Ermittlung des Abstandes aktiviert wird, ohne dass die jeweilige Lichtquelle 2 eingeschaltet ist und eine Bestrahlung des abgelegten Gegenstandes oder der abgelegten Gegenstände mit UV-C-Strahlung S erst nach der Überprüfung des Abstandes zwischen dem Sensor 5 und dem Deckelelement 3 aktiviert wird. If necessary, provision can be made for the disinfection device 1 to be activated before the distance is determined without the respective light source 2 being switched on and for the deposited object or objects to be irradiated with UV-C radiation S only after the distance between the sensor 5 and the cover element 3 is activated.
Bei dieser oben beschriebenen Variante zur Ermittlung, ob das Deckelelement 3 geschlossen oder geöffnet ist, ist ein zuvor definierter Abstandsbereich erforderlich, welcher in Abhängigkeit einer jeweiligen Umgebung angepasst werden muss. In this variant described above for determining whether the cover element 3 is closed or open, a previously defined distance range is required, which must be adapted depending on the respective environment.
Um die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 an weitere Umgebungsbedingungen und/oder Ablagefächer F1 , F2 anzupassen, ist vorgesehen, die Auswertung ohne zuvor festgelegten, spezifischen Zielwert, d. h. Schwellwert, durchzuführen. Dabei wird die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 aktiviert, sobald sich keine oder eine sehr geringe Abstandsänderung über die Zeit ergibt. Ist das Deckelelement 3 geschlossen, ändert sich der ermittelte Abstand zwischen dem Deckelelement 3 und dem Sensor 5 in einem Zeitintervall, beispielsweise vibrationsbedingt, nur gering, so dass die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 aktiviert bleibt. In order to adapt the disinfection device 1 to other environmental conditions and/or storage compartments F1, F2, provision is made for the evaluation to be carried out without a previously defined, specific target value, ie a threshold value. The disinfection device 1 is activated as soon as there is no or a very small change in distance over time. If the cover element 3 is closed, the determined distance between the cover element 3 and the sensor 5 changes only slightly in a time interval, for example due to vibration, so that the disinfection device 1 remains activated.
Wird ermittelt, dass eine Abstandsänderung über die Zeit einen vorgegebenen weiteren Schwellwert überschreitet, wird die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 deaktiviert. Die Aktivierung der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 kann unter den gleichen Umständen erfolgen. If it is determined that a change in distance over time exceeds a further predetermined threshold value, the disinfection device 1 is deactivated. The activation of the disinfection device 1 can take place under the same circumstances.
Insbesondere ist ein Abstandsbereich vorgegeben, innerhalb welchem die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 üblicherweise aktivierbar ist, beispielsweise bei einem ermittelten Abstand zwischen dem Deckelelement 3 und dem Sensor 5 von In particular, a distance range is specified within which the disinfection device 1 can usually be activated, for example when the distance between the cover element 3 and the sensor 5 is determined
10 cm bis 15 cm. Ansonsten besteht das Risiko, dass bei geöffnetem Deckelelement 3 ein Dachhimmel des Fahrzeuges detektiert wird, bei welchen ebenfalls eine geringe Abstandsänderung über die Zeit möglich ist. Mittels des definierten Abstandsbereiches kann diese Fehlbedienung weitestgehend vermieden werden. 10cm to 15cm. Otherwise there is a risk that when the cover element 3 is open, a roof liner of the vehicle will be detected, in which case a slight change in distance over time is also possible. This operating error can be largely avoided by means of the defined distance range.
Eine Kombination der weiter oben beschriebenen Variante und einer Variante ohne den spezifischen Zielwert ist ebenfalls denkbar. A combination of the variant described above and a variant without the specific target value is also conceivable.
Neben einer Sicherheitsfunktion kann der Sensor 5 außerdem als Schaltelement zur Aktivierung und Deaktivierung der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 genutzt werden. In addition to a safety function, the sensor 5 can also be used as a switching element for activating and deactivating the disinfection device 1 .
Sobald ein Fahrzeugnutzer mit Identifikationsmerkmal einen Finger, beispielsweise einen Zeigefinger, für eine bestimmte Dauer, beispielsweise für 2 Sekunden, auf den Sensor 5 legt, und anhand erfasster Signale zuvor ein vorgegebener, verhältnismäßig geringer Wert, ein Wert von 0 oder ein nicht messbarer Abstand detektiert wurde, wird die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 ohne Einschalten der UV-C-Strahlung S emittierenden Lichtquellen 2 aktiviert. As soon as a vehicle user with an identification feature places a finger, for example an index finger, on sensor 5 for a specific period of time, for example for 2 seconds, and based on detected signals previously detects a predetermined, relatively low value, a value of 0 or an immeasurable distance was, the disinfection device 1 is activated without switching on the UV-C radiation S emitting light sources 2.
Zudem ist es zur Aktivierung der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 möglich, eine bestimmte Gestik, z. B. mittels Programmieren, vorzugeben. In addition, it is possible to activate the disinfection device 1, a specific gesture, z. B. by programming to specify.
Nachdem der Fahrzeugnutzer das Deckelelement 3 geschlossen hat und mittels der Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 der entsprechende Abstand des Deckelelementes 3 in Bezug auf den Sensor 5 ermittelt wurde, werden die Lichtquellen 2 aktiviert und die Bestrahlung, d. h. ein Desinfektionsvorgang eines in dem Ablagefach F abgelegten Gegenstandes, wird gestartet. Ein Aktivierungsvorgang der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 in Abhängigkeit des mittels der Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 ermittelten geschlossenen Zustandes des Ablagefaches F1 durch den Fahrzeugnutzer mittels Finger auf Sensor 5 erfasster Annäherung an den Sensor 5 und/oder mittels bestimmter Gestik kann beispielsweise mittels einer für den Fahrzeugnutzer sichtbar am Ablagefach F1 angeordneten Leuchtdiode und/oder mittels einer haptischen Rückkopplung, z. B. an der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 und/oder dem Ablagefach F1 bestätigt werden. After the vehicle user has closed the cover element 3 and the corresponding distance of the cover element 3 in relation to the sensor 5 has been determined by means of the safety device 4, the light sources 2 are activated and the irradiation, ie a disinfection process of an object placed in the storage compartment F, is started . An activation process of the disinfection device 1 depending on the closed state of the storage compartment F1 determined by the safety device 4 by the vehicle user detecting the approach to the sensor 5 with a finger on sensor 5 and/or by means of specific gestures can be arranged, for example, by means of a device visible to the vehicle user on the storage compartment F1 LED and/or by means of haptic feedback, e.g. B. be confirmed on the disinfection device 1 and / or the storage compartment F1.
Wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigt ist, umfasst die Ablagefachanordnung A gemäß der in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigten Ausführungsform zwei Ablagefächer F1, F2, wobei ein weiteres Ablagefach F2 oberhalb des Ablagefaches F1 mit der integrierten Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 angeordnet ist. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the storage compartment arrangement A according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 comprises two storage compartments F1, F2, with a further storage compartment F2 being arranged above the storage compartment F1 with the integrated disinfection device 1.
Dabei bildet das Deckelelement 3 des Ablagefaches F1 zumindest bereichsweise ein Bodenelement des weiteren Ablagefaches F2. The cover element 3 of the storage compartment F1 forms a base element of the additional storage compartment F2, at least in some areas.
Beabsichtigt ein Fahrzeugnutzer oder ein anderer Insasse des Fahrzeuges, einen Gegenstand zu desinfizieren, ist es zunächst erforderlich, ein weiteres Deckelelement 7 des weiteren Ablagefaches F2 zu öffnen. Anschließend wird das in dem weiteren Ablagefach F2 befindliche Deckelelement 3 des Ablagefaches F1 geöffnet, um den zu desinfizierenden Gegenstand für die Bestrahlung mit der UV-C-Strahlung S in dem Ablagefach F1 abzulegen. If a vehicle user or another occupant of the vehicle intends to disinfect an object, it is first necessary to open a further cover element 7 of the further storage compartment F2. Subsequently, the cover element 3 of the storage compartment F1 located in the further storage compartment F2 is opened in order to deposit the object to be disinfected for the irradiation with the UV-C radiation S in the storage compartment F1.
Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass die Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 zur Desinfektion des Gegenstandes in dem Ablagefach F1 nur dann aktiviert wird, wenn anhand erfasster Signale der Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 ermittelt wird, dass sowohl das dem Ablagefach F1 zugeordnete Deckelelement 3 und das dem weiteren Ablagefach F2 zugeordnete weitere Deckelelement 7 geschlossen sind. Auch kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 mehrere, insbesondere zwei, Sensoren 5 zur Ermittlung des jeweiligen Zustandes der beiden Deckelelemente 3, 7 aufweist. Dabei können die oben genannten Erfassungseinheiten oder Sensoren 5 zum Einsatz kommen, um Signale zu erfassen, anhand derer der jeweilige Zustand der Deckelelemente 3, 7 ermittelt werden kann. Bei Verwendung von zwei Sensoren 5 wird anhand erfasster Signale eines Sensors 5 der Zustand des Deckelelementes 3 des Ablagefaches F1 und anhand erfasster Signale eines nicht näher gezeigten weiteren Sensors der Zustand des weiteren Deckelelementes 7 des weiteren Ablagefaches F2 ermittelt. Dadurch kann eine Sicherheit in Bezug auf die Ermittlung der Zustände der Deckelelemente 3, 7 für eine sichere Inbetriebnahme der Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 gesteigert werden. For this purpose, it is provided that the disinfection device 1 for disinfecting the object in the storage compartment F1 is only activated if it is determined on the basis of detected signals from the safety device 4 that both the cover element 3 assigned to the storage compartment F1 and the additional cover element 7 assigned to the further storage compartment F2 are closed. It can also be provided that the safety device 4 has several, in particular two, sensors 5 for determining the respective state of the two cover elements 3, 7. The above-mentioned detection units or sensors 5 can be used to detect signals, based on which the respective state of the cover elements 3, 7 can be determined. When using two sensors 5, the state of the cover element 3 of the storage compartment F1 is determined based on detected signals from a sensor 5 and the state of the further cover element 7 of the further storage compartment F2 is determined based on detected signals from a further sensor not shown in detail. This allows a security be increased in relation to the determination of the states of the cover elements 3, 7 for safe commissioning of the disinfection device 1.
Gemäß der in den Figuren 2 und 3 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Deckelelement 3 des Ablagefaches F1 mit der integrierten Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 als Klappdeckel ausgeführt, wobei die Sicherheitsvorrichtung 4 entsprechend angeordnet ist, um den Zustand des Deckelelementes 3 und des weiteren Deckelelementes 7 zu ermitteln. According to the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, the cover element 3 of the storage compartment F1 with the integrated disinfection device 1 is designed as a hinged cover, with the safety device 4 being arranged accordingly in order to determine the state of the cover element 3 and the further cover element 7.
Das Deckelelement 3 ist an seiner Innenseite mit einer reflektierenden Verkleidung, insbesondere Beschichtung, beispielsweise Aluminium, versehen, so dass die nach oben gerichtete UV-C-Strahlung S bei aktivierter Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 von dem Deckelelement 3, insbesondere seiner Beschichtung, reflektiert wird, um eine Strahleneffizienz zur Desinfektion des in dem Ablagefach F1 abgelegten Gegenstandes zu erhöhen. The inside of the cover element 3 is provided with a reflective covering, in particular a coating, for example aluminum, so that the upwardly directed UV-C radiation S is reflected by the cover element 3, in particular its coating, when the disinfection device 1 is activated To increase radiation efficiency for disinfecting the object stored in the storage compartment F1.
Zusätzlich oder alternativ können die das Ablagefach F1 bildende Wandungen mit einer reflektierenden Verkleidung, insbesondere Beschichtung, versehen sein, um die Strahleneffizienz zur Desinfektion des in dem Ablagefach F1 abgelegten Gegenstandes zu erhöhen. Additionally or alternatively, the walls forming the storage compartment F1 can be provided with a reflective covering, in particular a coating, in order to increase the radiation efficiency for disinfecting the object placed in the storage compartment F1.
Zudem ist auf einem Bodenbereich des Ablagefaches F1 eine die UV-C-Strahlung S reflektierende Matte 8 angeordnet, um die Strahleneffizienz zu erhöhen. Insbesondere weist die Matte 8 in Figur 4 beispielhaft dargestellte Abstandhalter 9 auf, die in regelmäßigen Abständen zueinander angeordnet sind. Ein zu desinfizierender Gegenstand liegt dann auf den Abstandshaltern 9 auf, so dass eine Unterseite des zu desinfizierenden Gegenstandes durch die mittels der reflektierenden Matte 8 reflektierte UV-C-Strahlung S ebenfalls bestrahlt wird. Dadurch können eine Effizienz des Desinfektionsvorganges gesteigert und eine erforderliche Zeitdauer zur Desinfektion verringert werden. In addition, a mat 8 reflecting the UV-C radiation S is arranged on a floor area of the storage compartment F1 in order to increase the radiation efficiency. In particular, the mat 8 has spacers 9, shown as an example in FIG. 4, which are arranged at regular intervals from one another. An object to be disinfected then rests on the spacers 9 so that an underside of the object to be disinfected is also irradiated by the UV-C radiation S reflected by the reflective mat 8 . As a result, an efficiency of the disinfection process can be increased and a time required for disinfection can be reduced.
Ist das Deckelelement 3 des Ablagefaches F1 geschlossen, kann das weitere Ablagefach F2 zur Verstauung weiterer Gegenstände, beispielsweise des Fahrzeugnutzers oder eines anderen Insassen, genutzt werden. Dadurch wird ein Desinfektionsvorgang in dem Ablagefach F1 nicht beeinflusst. If the cover element 3 of the storage compartment F1 is closed, the additional storage compartment F2 can be used to store additional objects, for example belonging to the vehicle user or another occupant. This does not affect a disinfection process in the storage compartment F1.
In einem in Figur 4 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel, welches eine Nachrüstlösung für einIn an embodiment shown in Figure 4, which is a retrofit solution for a
Fahrzeug darstellen kann, ist eine wannenförmige Aufnahmeeinheit 10 mit Abstandshaltern 9 vorgesehen, welche zur Ausbildung des Ablagefaches F1 mit integrierter Desinfektionsvorrichtung 1 in einer Ablagefachanordnung A angeordnet werden kann. Zusätzlich ist ein entnehmbares Rahmenelement 11 vorgesehen, in welches die wannenförmige Aufnahmeeinheit 10 eingesetzt werden kann. Beispielsweise kann die oben beschriebene reflektierende Matte 8 als wannenförmige Aufnahmeeinheit 10 ausgebildet sein. Vehicle can represent, is a trough-shaped receiving unit 10 with Spacers 9 are provided, which can be arranged in a storage compartment arrangement A to form the storage compartment F1 with an integrated disinfection device 1 .
