Abstract

The system has an ambient sensor for controlling an electromechanical actuator, which is provided in headlights of a vehicle to adjust a distribution of a beam of the headlights, based on the brightness detected by the sensor. The electromechanical actuator has a diaphragm shaft that is arranged between a headlight lens and a headlight reflector. The diaphragm shaft is adjusted about a rotating axis that runs horizontal and transverse to an axis of the lens, where a lateral surface of the diaphragm shaft has a diaphragm line for each rotational position.

Description

System zur Ansteuerung von Scheinwerfern für Fahrzeuge, wobei die Scheinwerfer mindestens einen elektromechanischen Aktuator zur Einstellung der Scheinwerferlichtverteilung aufweisen.system for controlling headlamps for vehicles, wherein the headlamps at least one electromechanical actuator for Adjust the headlight distribution.

Aus der EP 0 935 728B1 ist ein Scheinwerfer mit einem elektromechanischen Aktuator, der eine sogenannte Blendenwelle zur Einstellung der Scheinwerferlichtverteilung umfasst, bekannt. Dabei ist die Blendenwelle zwischen einer Scheinwerferlinse und dem Scheinwerfer-Reflektor angeordnet ist und um eine horizontale und quer zur optischen Achse der Linse verlaufende Drehachse in mehrere Drehstellungen verstellbar, wobei die Mantelfläche der Blendenwelle für jede Drehstellung eine Blendenlinie aufweist, die eine Hell-Dunkelgrenze einer Lichtfigur erzeugt.From the EP 0 935 728B1 is a headlamp with an electromechanical actuator, which includes a so-called diaphragm shaft for adjusting the headlight distribution known. In this case, the diaphragm shaft between a headlight lens and the headlamp reflector is arranged and about a horizontal and transverse to the optical axis of the lens axis of rotation adjustable in several rotational positions, wherein the lateral surface of the diaphragm shaft for each rotational position has a diaphragm line, the light-dark boundary of a Light figure generated.

Mit einer derartigen Blendenwelle lassen sich je nach Drehstellung unterschiedliche Lichtverteilungen/Lichtfiguren erzeugen, und zwar

  • – in einer ersten Drehstellung: symmetrisches Abblendlicht (Stadtlicht), das nur den nahen Bereich der Fahrbahn vor dem Fahrzeug ausleuchtet,
  • – in einer zweiten Drehstellung: asymmetrisches Abblendlicht, bei dem die eigene Fahrbahnseite wesentlich weiter ausgeleuchtet ist als die Gegenfahrbahnseite,
  • – in einer dritten Drehstellung: Autobahnlicht,
  • – in einer vierte Drehstellung: asymmetrisches Fernlicht.
Depending on the rotational position, different light distributions / light patterns can be generated with such a diaphragm shaft, namely
  • In a first rotational position: symmetrical dipped beam (city light), which illuminates only the near area of the road ahead of the vehicle,
  • In a second rotational position: asymmetrical dipped beam, in which the own road side is substantially further illuminated than the opposite road side,
  • In a third turning position: motorway light,
  • - in a fourth rotational position: asymmetrical high beam.

Bei Fahrzeugen mit einem sogenannten Advanced/Adaptive Frontlighting System (AFS-System) werden die verschiedenen Drehstellungen und damit die verschiedenen Lichtverteilungen im AFS-Modus über die Ansteuerung des Aktuators in Abhängigkeit der Fahrgeschwindigkeit und ggf. zusätzlich in Abhängigkeit des Lenkwinkels und/oder der Gierrate eingestellt.at Vehicles with a so-called Advanced / Adaptive Frontlighting System (AFS system) are the different rotational positions and so that the different light distributions in AFS mode over the activation of the actuator as a function of the driving speed and possibly in addition depending on the steering angle and / or the yaw rate.

Bei Fahrzeugen, die zwar ein AFS-System, aber kein separates Tagfahrlicht aufweisen, wird die Tagfahrlichtfunktion über das Einschalten der AFS-Scheinwerferlichtquelle realisiert. Problematisch hierbei ist, dass dann auch bei Tageshelligkeit die Blendenwelle betätigt wird, wodurch es in bestimmten Drehstellungen zu unerwünschten Blendungen der übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer kommen kann, wobei auch die Leistung der Scheinwerfer-Lichtquelle im Vergleich zu der Leistung einer Tagfahrlichtquelle wesentlich höher ist.at Vehicles that have an AFS system, but no separate daytime running lights have, the daytime running light function on the switching the AFS headlight source realized. Problematic here is that then actuates the aperture wave even at daytime brightness which makes it undesirable in certain rotational positions May dazzle the other road users, also comparing the performance of the headlight source to the performance of a daytime running light source much higher is.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein blendungsfreies Tagfahrlicht für Fahrzeuge zu realisieren, die zwar ein AFS-System, aber kein separates Tagfahrlicht aufweisen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Die sich daran anschließenden Unteransprüche enthalten vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.task The invention is therefore a glare-free daytime running lights for To realize vehicles, although an AFS system, but no separate Have daytime running lights. This task is characterized by the characteristics of Claim 1 solved. The adjoining Dependent claims contain advantageous embodiments of Invention.

Erfindungsgemäß weist das System einen Umgebungslichtsensor auf, wobei die die Ansteuerung des Aktuators zur Einstellung der Scheinwerferlichtverteilung in Abhängigkeit der vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierten Helligkeit erfolgt. Dabei wird der Aktuator der Blendenwelle derart angesteuert, dass die Blendenwelle sich in der ersten Drehstellung (= Stadtlicht) befindet, wenn die vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierte Helligkeit oberhalb eines Helligkeitsschwellwertes liegt. Mit dieser symmetrischen Ablendlichtverteilung, die nur den nahen Bereich der Fahrbahn vor dem Fahrzeug ausleuchtet, wird eine Blendung der übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer sicher vermieden. Dadurch das der Aktuator und die Blendenwelle nicht mehr betätigt werden, solange die vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierte Helligkeit oberhalb eines Helligkeitsschwellwertes liegt, wird darüber hinaus der mechanische Verschleiß deutlich reduziert. In vorteilhafter Weise wird außerdem noch die Leistung der Scheinwerfer-Lichtquelle reduziert, wenn die vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierte Helligkeit oberhalb eines Helligkeitsschwellwertes liegt, wodurch in positiver Weise eine Energieeinsparung erzielt wird.According to the invention the system includes an ambient light sensor, wherein the control of the actuator for adjusting the headlight distribution in Dependence of detected by the ambient light sensor Brightness occurs. In this case, the actuator of the diaphragm shaft is so controlled that the diaphragm shaft in the first rotational position (= City light) when detected by the ambient light sensor Brightness is above a brightness threshold. With this symmetrical Ablendlichtverteilung, which only the near area of the road Illuminates in front of the vehicle, glare the rest Road users safely avoided. This causes the actuator and the shutter shaft can not be operated as long as the brightness detected by the ambient light sensor above a brightness threshold In addition, the mechanical wear becomes clear reduced. In an advantageous manner, also the Power of the headlight source is reduced when that of the ambient light sensor detected brightness is above a brightness threshold, whereby a positive energy saving is achieved.

Aus der DE 196 30 216 C2 ist zwar ein Fahrzeug mit einem Umgebungslichtsensor bekannt. Dort wird der Umgebungslichtsensor jedoch ausschließlich dazu benutzt, um bei Eintritt der Dämmerung das Abblendlicht automatisch einzuschalten.From the DE 196 30 216 C2 Although a vehicle with an ambient light sensor is known. There, however, the ambient light sensor is used exclusively to automatically turn on the dipped beam at dawn.

Each of the two headlights has an electromechanical actuator for driving the diaphragm shaft.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann jeder der beiden Scheinwerfer noch einen Kurvenlicht-Aktuator zur Erzeugung einer Kurvenlichtverteilung durch Verschwenken des Scheinwerfers oder von Scheinwerferkomponenten um eine vertikale Achse aufweisen. Dabei wird auch der Kurvenlicht-Aktuator derart angesteuert wird, dass die Scheinwerferlichtverteilung in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung ausgerichtet ist, wenn die vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierte Helligkeit oberhalb eines Helligkeitsschwellwertes liegt.In a further embodiment, each of the two headlights may also have a cornering light actuator for generating a curve light distribution by pivoting the headlight or headlight components about a vertical axis. In this case, the cornering light actuator is controlled such that the headlight distribution is aligned in the vehicle longitudinal direction when the brightness detected by the ambient light sensor above a Hellig threshold is exceeded.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann jeder der beiden Scheinwerfer noch einen Leuchtweitenregulierungs-Aktuator zur Anpassung der Scheinwerferleuchteweite in Abhängigkeit der Fahrzeugneigung aufweisen. Dabei wird die Leuchtweite abgesenkt, wenn die vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierte Helligkeit oberhalb eines Helligkeitsschwellwertes liegt.In In another embodiment, each of the two headlights nor a headlamp leveling actuator to adjust the headlight range depending on the vehicle inclination. It will the headlight range lowered when detected by the ambient light sensor Brightness is above a brightness threshold.

Außerdem kann jedem der beiden Scheinwerfer noch ein elektronisches Vorschaltgerät zur Einstellung der Leistung der Scheinwerfer-Lichtquelle zugeordnet sein, wobei die Leistung reduziert wird, wenn die vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierte Helligkeit oberhalb eines Helligkeitsschwellwertes liegt. Bei der Scheinwerfer-Lichtquelle kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Hochdruckgasentladungslampe (sogenannte Xe- Lampe) handeln, wobei die Leistung über das Vorschaltgerät um ca. 10% gegenüber der normalen Betriebsleistung reduziert wird.Furthermore Each of the two headlights can still have an electronic ballast assigned to adjust the power of the headlight source its performance is reduced when that of the ambient light sensor detected brightness is above a brightness threshold. For example, the headlight source may be a high-pressure gas discharge lamp (so-called Xe lamp), the power over the ballast around about 10% compared to the normal operating performance reduced becomes.

Die Ansteuerung der Aktuatoren und der Vorschaltgeräte erfolgt über eine Steuereinheit, der die Signale des Umgebungslichtsensors zugeführt werden.The Control of the actuators and the ballasts via a control unit which supplies the signals of the ambient light sensor become.

Die erfindungsgemäß realisierte Tagfahrlichteinstellung umfasst vorzugsweise auch Ansteuerung der Heckleuchten und der Innenraumbeleuchtung. Dabei wird sichergestellt, dass, wenn die vom Umgebungslichtsensor detektierte Helligkeit oberhalb eines Helligkeitsschwellwertes liegt, das Schlußlicht nicht eingeschaltet wird und die Instrumentenbeleuchtung im Tagfahrlichtbetrieb eingestellt ist.The Daytime running light adjustment realized according to the invention preferably also includes control of the tail lights and the interior lighting. This ensures that when the from the ambient light sensor detected brightness is above a brightness threshold, the tail lamp is not turned on and the instrument lighting is set in daytime running mode.
