Definitions

  • Ignition switch for motor vehicles and method of operating an ignition switch
  • the present invention relates to an ignition device for a vehicle engine comprising a key unit and a lock unit, and also a method for operating an ignition device.
  • Engine starting systems whereby a keycard is placed in an identification unit, followed by the engine being started by a separate starting key or a separate starting button, have recently been introduced.
  • Such ignition systems usually have the following states: ignition-off state in which the card has not yet been placed in the identification unit, ignition-neutral state in which the vehicle's radio is powered so that it can be listened to without switching on all the consumers, e.g. the driving lamps, ignition-on state in which starting of the engine is possible, and engine starting state in which the vehicle's engine is started by the starting key being turned or the starting button being pressed in.
  • a problem with the aforesaid engine starting systems with a card and a starting key or a card and a starting button is that starting the vehicle's engine involves the driver having to operate several different units, which is a burden, particularly on vehicles in which the engine has to be started and stopped many times during a working day, e.g. in goods delivery operations in built-up areas.
  • An example of an ignition device for vehicles is referred to in DE 198 53 075, in which a card is insertable to different distances in an electronically coded card identification device arranged in the vehicle whereby pushing the card in to the ignition-neutral position (I) unlocks an electronic starting lock, pushing the card in to the ignition-on position (II) switches on the ignition and subsequently pushing the card in to the engine starting position (III) starts the vehicle's engine, after which the card, when released, springs back to the ignition-on position (II). The engine is stopped by the card being pulled out to the ignition-neutral position.
  • a device having the characteristics that the ignition device comprises a lock unit in which a key unit is adapted to being inserted in an insertion direction in order to operate the ignition device, the key unit being further adapted to being able, when placed in the lock unit, to being rocked in an operating direction about an axis substantially transverse to said insertion direction in order to connect at least one ignition state of the vehicle's electrical system, affords the advantage of making it possible to provide a large number of different ignition states in which different consumers are connected so that those not needed at the time consume no current, thereby reducing power consumption through a driver being able to select appropriate ignition states as necessary.
  • a driver can easily start and stop the vehicle's engine without having to operate more than one unit.
  • Figure 1 depicts schematically an ignition device for a vehicle engine according to a first embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 2 depicts schematically a section through a lock unit of an ignition device according to Figure 1
  • FIGS 3 to 7 depict schematically a lock unit according to Figure 2 with a key unit placed in the lock unit.
  • FIG. 1 depicts schematically an ignition device for a vehicle engine according to a first embodiment of the invention, which ignition device 2 comprises a lock unit 4 and a key unit 6.
  • the lock unit 4 further comprises a port 8 in which the key unit 6 is adapted to being placed in order to operate the ignition device 2.
  • various ignition states of the vehicle's electrical system can be effected by rocking the key unit 6 in an operating direction 5, 7 about an axis 9 substantially transverse to the key unit's insertion direction 3.
  • the lock unit 4 is thus the vehicle's ignition lock.
  • Figure 2 depicts schematically a section through a lock unit 4 of an ignition device 2 according to Figure 1, showing the lock unit 4 in its locked state A, i.e. the state in which the key unit 6 has not yet been inserted in the port 8.
  • locked state A the vehicle's steering wheel is locked and the vehicle's starting lock, i.e. the vehicle's immobiliser, is activated.
  • FIGs 3 to 7 depict schematically a lock unit 4 according to Figure 2 with a key unit 6 placed in the lock unit 4.
  • FIG. 3 depicts schematically a lock unit 4 with a key unit 6 inserted in the lock unit 4.
  • the diagram shows the lock unit 4 in its activation state B, i.e. the state in which the key unit 6 has been inserted in the port 8 but has not been moved further in an operating direction about an axis 9 substantially transverse to said insertion direction.
  • the vehicle's steering lock is preferably released and the vehicle's starting lock is preferably deactivated when the ignition device 2 has verified the correctness of the key unit 6.
  • the starting lock can be deactivated, for example, by an immobiliser chip 11 being fitted in the key unit 6.
  • FIG. 4 depicts schematically a lock unit 4 with a key unit 6 inserted in the lock unit 4.
  • the diagram shows the lock unit 4 in its radio state C, i.e. a state in which the key unit 6 has been inserted in the port 8 in the lock unit 4 and has thereafter been moved in an operating direction 5 about an axis 9 substantially transverse to the insertion direction 3 of the key unit 6.
  • this radio state C consumers such as, for example, a radio and interior lighting are powered and can therefore be switched on or off as the driver wishes.
  • FIG. 5 depicts schematically a lock unit 4 with a key unit 6 inserted in the lock unit 4.
  • the diagram shows the lock unit 4 in its ignition-active state D, i.e. a state in which the key unit 6 has been inserted in the port 8 in the lock unit 4 and has thereafter been moved in an operating direction 5 about an axis 9 substantially transverse to the insertion direction 3 of the key unit 6.
  • this ignition-active state D at least the majority, if not all, of the vehicle's consumers are powered and can therefore be switched on or off as the driver wishes.
  • Figure 6 depicts schematically a lock unit 4 with a key unit 6 inserted in the lock unit 4. It shows the lock unit 4 in its starting state E, i.e. a state in which the key unit 6 has been inserted in the port 8 in the lock unit 4 and has thereafter been moved in an operating direction 5 about an axis 9 substantially transverse to the insertion direction 3 of the key unit 6.
  • the starting state E differs from the activation state B, the radio state C and the ignition-active state D in that the key unit 6 remains in its current state when the driver lets go of the key unit 6 if the lock unit 4 is in the activation state B, the radio state C or the ignition-active state D, but the key unit 6 reverts to the ignition- active state D if the driver lets go of the key unit 6 in the starting state E.
  • the starting state E of the lock unit 4 can therefore only persist so long as the driver keeps the key unit 6 in that state.
  • a control unit may be adapted to refraining from powering the vehicle's starter motor when the key unit 6 is moved to the starting state E in situations where the engine is already running.
  • the vehicle's engine is stopped by the key unit 6 being moved, while the engine is running, from the ignition-active state D to a stop state.
  • the stop state is preferably the same as the radio state C but may also be any desired state other than the ignition- active state D.
  • the stop state is preferably not the same as the starting state E. It should nevertheless be possible for the stop state to be the same as the starting state E, in which case the control unit would decide whether the state E is to be interpreted as a starting state or a stop state, depending on whether the vehicle's engine is running or not.
  • FIG. 7 depicts schematically a lock unit 4 with a key unit 6 inserted in the lock unit 4.
  • the diagram shows the lock unit 4 in another preferred state, the alternative state F, in which the key unit 6 has been inserted in the port 8 in the lock unit 4 and has thereafter been moved in a second operating direction 7 about an axis substantially transverse to the insertion direction 3 of the key unit 6.
  • this alternative state F whichever of the vehicle's consumers the driver wishes to have the possibility of using are powered.
  • This state thus makes it possible for the driver to use more consumers than is possible in the radio state C, but without having to use the ignition- active state D, which is a state of high power consumption, particularly if the vehicle's driving lamps are connected in such a way that they are lit in this ignition-active state D.
  • the activation state B, the radio state C, the ignition-active state D and the starting state E are situated on one side of the activation state B of the lock unit 4, while the alternative state F is preferably situated on the other side of the activation state B, since the alternative state F is a state which does not usually occur in ignition devices for vehicle engines.
  • the alternative state F is a state which does not usually occur in ignition devices for vehicle engines.
  • several different ignition states are described. It is possible to arrange the ignition device in such a way that the activation state B described above has in other embodiments of the invention the functions described above for one or more of ignition states C and/or D.
  • the activation state B in a further embodiment has also the functions of the ignition states C and D, the starting state E can therefore be effected by rocking the key unit 6 one step in an operating direction 5 about an axis 9 substantially transverse to the previously mentioned insertion direction 3 in which the key unit 6 is inserted in the lock unit 4.
  • the claims set out below comprise all embodiments in which at least one ignition state can be effected by rocking the key unit 6 at least one step in an operating direction 5 about an axis substantially transverse to the previously mentioned insertion direction 3.
  • the lock unit 4 is preferably fitted in such a way in the driving cab, e.g. in the instrument panel, that the key unit 6 is switched between the various states B, C, D, E, F in the lock unit 4 in a substantially vertical direction, the starting state E being preferably the state situated furthest down in the vertical direction.
  • the lock unit 4 may alternatively be so arranged that the key unit 6 is operated in the lock unit 4 in a substantially horizontal direction, i.e. in the longitudinal direction or lateral direction of the vehicle.
  • a remote control 13 for vehicle door locks is preferably provided in the key unit 6.
  • the invention thus relates to an ignition device for a vehicle engine, which ignition device 2 comprises a lock unit 4 and a key unit 6, the lock unit 4 having a port in which the key unit 6 is adapted to being inserted in an insertion direction 3 in order to operate the ignition device 2, the key unit 6 being adapted to being able, when placed in the lock unit 4, to be rocked in an operating direction 5, 7 about an axis substantially transverse to said insertion direction 3 in order to effect at least one ignition state C, D, E, F of the vehicle's electrical system.
