Beschreibungdescription
Technisches Gebiet der ErfindungTechnical field of the invention
Die Erfindung betrifft ein beleuchtetes Gurtschloß für einen Fahrzeugsicherheitsgurt, mit einem Gehäuse, einer in dem Gehäuse angeordneten Verriegelungsmechanik, einer öffung in dem Gehäuse, in welcher eine Drucktaste und ein Einführschlitz für eine Gurtzunge angeordnet ist, und einer Lichtquelle, die dem Gehäuse und/oder der Drucktaste zugeordnet ist.The invention relates to an illuminated belt buckle for a vehicle seat belt, comprising a housing, a locking mechanism disposed in the housing, an opening in the housing in which a push button and an insertion slot for a belt tongue is arranged, and a light source, the housing and / or assigned to the pushbutton.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Ein derartiges Gurtschloß ist bereits aus der DE 39 04 125 A1 bekannt. In diesem Gurtschloß ist eine LED vorgesehen, die außerhalb der zu beleuchtenden Funktionsteile angeordnet ist, wobei die Verbindung zwischen der LED und dem vorgesehenen Lichtaustritt über einen Lichtleitweg erfolgt, der aus mehreren Materialabschnitten zusammengesetzt ist. Die vorgesehene LED strahlt das Licht entsprechend der konstruktionsbedingt er- zwungenen Einbauposition ab, so dass im Anschluß ein entsprechend aufwendig zu gestaltender Lichtleitweg vorgesehen werden muß, um das Licht an die gewünschte Lichtaustrittsstelle zu leiten. Ferner besitzt die dort vorgeschlagene Lösung den Nachteil, dass die Energieversorgung der LED über elektrische Kabel erfolgt, die frei in dem Gehäuse verlaufen und somit ebenfalls einen entsprechenden Bauraum erfordern bzw. der Gefahr der Zerstörung durch mechanische Belastung unterliegen.
Geqenstand der ErfindungSuch a buckle is already known from DE 39 04 125 A1. In this buckle, an LED is provided, which is arranged outside the functional parts to be illuminated, wherein the connection between the LED and the intended light exit via a Lichtleitweg, which is composed of several material sections. The envisaged LED emits the light according to the design-enforced installation position, so that subsequently a correspondingly complicated to be designed Lichtleitweg must be provided to direct the light to the desired light exit point. Furthermore, the solution proposed there has the disadvantage that the power supply of the LED via electrical cables that run freely in the housing and thus also require a corresponding space or are subject to the risk of destruction due to mechanical stress. Current situation of the invention
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gurtschloß mit einer möglichst kostengünstigen Beleuchtung zu schaffen, wobei die Beleuchtung auch für sehr flache Gurtschlösser geeignet sein soll und keinerlei Veränderung der Verriegelungsmechanik in dem Gurtschloß erfordern soll.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a buckle with the cheapest possible lighting, the lighting should also be suitable for very flat buckles and should not require any change in the locking mechanism in the buckle.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Gurtschloß mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object of the invention is achieved by a buckle with the features of claim 1. Further advantageous developments are specified in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert, wobei die Figuren im Einzelnen zeigen:The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a preferred exemplary embodiment, wherein the figures show in detail:

Beschreibung bevorzugter AusführungsformenDescription of preferred embodiments
In Fig.1 ist eine Gehäusehälfte 5b für ein beleuchtetes Gurtschloß darge- stellt. Die Gehäusehälfte 5b wird über den Gehäuserand 10 mit einer später beschriebenen Gehäusehälfte 5a zum Beispiel über eine Schweißverbindung zu einem Gurtschloßgehäuse verbunden. In die Wandung der Gehäusehälfte 5b ist eine elektrische Leitung in Form einer gedruckten Lei-
terplatte oder als Flachbandkabel 2 aufgeklebt oder eingespritzt, die mit einer externen Leitung 3 zur Energieversorgung von außen z.B. über eine Lötstelle verbunden ist. Auf die elektrische Leitung sind die LED's 1a und 1b nach der SMD (Surface Mounted Device) Technik oder als CoB (Chip on Board)Technik aufgebracht. Die Verwendung dieser speziellen Form von LED's bietet den Vorteil einer sehr flach bauenden Bauweise, so dass die in dem Schloß vorgesehenen Verriegelungsmechanik nicht verändert werden muß, und die LED's bis möglichst dicht an die vorgesehene Lichtaustrittsstelle positioniert werden können. Damit wird die nachfolgend er- forderliche Lichtleitoptik in Teilen und Aufwand erheblich reduziert, was zu einer Reduzierung der Kosten führt. Ferner werden durch die reduzierte Länge der Lichtleitstrecke und die reduzierte Anzahl von Übergängen zwischen den Lichtleitelementen die Verluste reduziert und insgesamt die Lichtausbeute verbessert.FIG. 1 shows a housing half 5b for an illuminated belt buckle. The housing half 5b is connected via the housing edge 10 with a housing half 5a described later, for example via a welded connection to a Gurtschloßgehäuse. In the wall of the housing half 5b is an electrical line in the form of a printed Lei terplatte or glued or injected as a ribbon cable 2, which is connected to an external line 3 for power supply from the outside, for example via a solder joint. The LEDs 1a and 1b are applied to the electrical line according to the SMD (Surface Mounted Device) technique or as CoB (Chip on Board) technology. The use of this particular form of LED's offers the advantage of very flat design construction, so that the measures provided in the lock locking mechanism need not be changed, and the LEDs can be positioned up to as close as possible to the intended light exit point. This considerably reduces the subsequently required optical fiber optics in parts and effort, which leads to a reduction in costs. Furthermore, the losses are reduced by the reduced length of the light guide path and the reduced number of transitions between the light guide elements, and overall the luminous efficacy is improved.
In Fig.2 ist die andere Gehäusehälfte 5a dargestellt, an welcher die Lichtleiter 9a und 9b vorgesehen sind. In der Fig.4 ist zu erkennen, wie die beiden Gehäusehälften 5a und 5b sich im zusammengebauten Zustand zu dem Gehäuse 5 ergänzen. Der Lichtleiter 9 ist dabei derart in der Gehäu- sehälfte 5a positioniert, dass er mit seiner Lichteintrittsseite über der erkennbar flach bauenden LED 1 zu liegen kommt, wenn beide Gehäusehälften 5a und 5b zusammengefügt sind. Das von der LED 1 im wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem angrenzenden Abschnitt des Gehäuses 5 abgestrahlte Licht wird dann durch den Lichtleiter 9 aufgenommen und zu der vorgesehenen Lichtaustrittsfläche geleitet. Die LED 1 besitzt eine Grundfläche die parallel zu der Fläche der Wandung des Gehäuses 5 angeordnet ist, die zu deren Befestigung dient. Damit ist eine sehr flach bauende Art der Anordnung der LED gegeben, die eine Positionierung der LED an einer beliebigen Stelle des Gehäuses ermöglicht, ohne dass angrenzende Teile oder die Verriegelungsmechanik verändert werden müssen. Die in dem Gehäuse angeordnete Verriegelungsmechanik 8 ist aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nur schematisch dargestellt. In der Fig.3 ist die Gehäusehälfte 5a in Sicht auf die Drucktaste 6 dargestellt. Zwischen der Drucktaste
6 und dem Rand der Gehäusehälfte 5a ist der Einführschlitz 7 für die Gurtzunge vorgesehen. Damit der Einführschlitz 7 von dem Benutzer auch bei Dunkelheit leicht gefunden wird, werden dessen Enden durch die Lichtaustrittsflächen 4a und 4b gekennzeichnet. Der Benutzer erkennt somit durch die beiden leuchtenden Lichtaustrittsflächen 4a und 4b den dazwischen liegenden Einführschlitz 7. Alternativ oder ergänzend kann zu der Kennzeichnung des Einführschlitzes 7 an seinen Enden auch eine Lichtaustrittsfläche 4c parallel zu dem Schlitz vorgesehen sein, oder auch die Drucktaste selbst mit einem Lichtleiter und einer Lichtaustrittsfläche verse- hen sein. Nach dem Einführen und Verriegeln der Gurtzunge kann eine automatische Steuerung vorgesehen sein: durch die die Beleuchtung automatisch abgeschaltet wird. Damit dient die Beleuchtung gleichzeitig als Warnsignal für ein nicht verriegeltes Schloß, und es wird eine unnötiger Energieverbrauch vermieden.
2, the other housing half 5a is shown, on which the light guides 9a and 9b are provided. It can be seen in FIG. 4 how the two housing halves 5 a and 5 b complement each other in the assembled state to form the housing 5. The light guide 9 is positioned in the housing half 5a in such a way that it comes to lie with its light entrance side over the recognizably flat LED 1 when both housing halves 5a and 5b are joined together. The light emitted by the LED 1 substantially perpendicular to the adjacent portion of the housing 5 is then received by the light guide 9 and guided to the intended light exit surface. The LED 1 has a base which is arranged parallel to the surface of the wall of the housing 5, which serves to attach them. This is a very flat-built type of arrangement of the LED is given, which allows positioning of the LED at any point of the housing without adjacent parts or the locking mechanism must be changed. The arranged in the housing locking mechanism 8 is shown only schematically for reasons of clarity. In Figure 3, the housing half 5a is shown in view of the push button 6. Between the pushbutton 6 and the edge of the housing half 5a of the insertion slot 7 is provided for the belt tongue. Thus, the insertion slot 7 is easily found by the user even in the dark, the ends of which are characterized by the light exit surfaces 4a and 4b. The user thus recognizes by the two luminous light exit surfaces 4a and 4b the insertion slot therebetween 7. Alternatively or additionally, may be provided parallel to the slot to the identification of the insertion slot 7 at its ends a light exit surface 4c, or even the push button itself with a light guide and a light exit surface be provided. After inserting and locking the belt tongue, an automatic control can be provided : by which the lighting is switched off automatically. Thus, the illumination also serves as a warning signal for an unlocked lock, and it is unnecessary energy consumption avoided.
