Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur überwachung des Schließvorganges einer motorisch angetriebenen Fensterscheibe, insbesondere einer Kraftfahrzeugfensterscheibe, mit einem Sender und einem Empfänger für elektromagnetische Strahlung, mit mindestens einem lichtablenkenden Mittel, das die elektromagnetische Strahlung vom Sender zum Empfänger leitet und bei der der Antrieb der Fensterscheibe gestoppt oder umgekehrt wird, wenn sich während des Schließvorganges des Fensters die vom Empfänger aufgenommene Strahlungsintensität ändert.The invention relates to a device for monitoring the closing process of a motor-driven window pane, in particular a motor vehicle window pane, with a transmitter and a receiver for electromagnetic radiation, with at least one light-deflecting means which conducts the electromagnetic radiation from the transmitter to the receiver and in which the window pane is driven is stopped or vice versa if the radiation intensity recorded by the receiver changes during the closing process of the window.

Solche Vorrichtungen sind bekannt und dienen dazu, während des Schließvorganges eines motorisch angetriebenen Fensters das Einklemmen von Gliedmaßen oder von Gegenständen zu verhindern.Such devices are known and are used to prevent the trapping of limbs or objects during the closing process of a motor-driven window.

So wird beispielsweise in der DE-PS 31 07 847 eine Vorrichtung vorgeschlagen, bei der entlang der Schließkante eines Fensterrahmens ein Lichtleiter angebracht ist, der mittels Totalreflexion einen Lichtstrahl von einem Sender zu einem Empfänger leitet. Wird dieser als Lichtleiterfaserbündel ausgebildete Lichtleiter zusammengedrückt, etwa weil ein Gegenstand zwischen Fenster und Fensterrahmen eingeklemmt ist, so ändert sich die vom Empfänger aufgenommene Lichtintensität, woraufhin der Fensterantrieb gestoppt oder umgesteuert wird.For example, DE-PS 31 07 847 proposes a device in which a light guide is attached along the closing edge of a window frame and guides a light beam from a transmitter to a receiver by means of total reflection. If this light guide, which is designed as an optical fiber bundle, is pressed together, for example because an object is jammed between the window and window frame, the light intensity received by the receiver changes, whereupon the window drive is stopped or reversed.

In einer weiteren in der DE 31 07 847 beschriebenen Ausführungsform wird vorgeschlagen, den Lichtleiter als zusammendrückbares, innenverspiegeltes Kunststoffrohr auszubilden.
Beide Ausführungsformen weisen den Nachteil auf, daß für die Herstellung einer solchen überwachungsvorrichtung ein relativ aufwendig gestalteter und kostenintensiver Lichtleiter benötigt wird.In a further embodiment described in DE 31 07 847, it is proposed to use the light guide as form compressible, internally mirrored plastic tube.
Both embodiments have the disadvantage that a relatively complex and expensive light guide is required for the production of such a monitoring device.

Noch gravierender wirkt sich der Nachteil aus, daß zum Ansprechen dieser überwachungsvorrichtung der Lichtleiter deformiert werden muß, so daß die überwachungsvorrichtung erst dann reagiert, nachdem bereits ein Gegenstand oder ein Körperteil mit einer gewissen Kraft eingeklemmt wurde.The disadvantage is even more serious that the light guide must be deformed in order to respond to this monitoring device, so that the monitoring device only reacts after an object or a body part has already been pinched with a certain force.

Auch wenn die zum Ansprechen der überwachungsvorrichtung nötigen Einklemmkräfte im allgemeinen nicht allzu hoch sind, so ist ein Einklemmen zumindest unangenehm. Eine Schreck- oder Panikreaktion kann ebenfalls nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Ein Einklemmen kann sich sogar schädigend auswirken, beispielsweise wenn Körpergliedmaße von Kindern betroffen sind.Even if the pinching forces required to respond to the monitoring device are generally not too high, pinching is at least uncomfortable. A shock or panic reaction cannot be ruled out either. Pinching can even have a damaging effect, for example if children's limbs are affected.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine überwachungsvorrichtung zu schaffen, die besonders einfach und kostengünstig aufgebaut ist und bei der eine Beeinflussung des Fensterscheibenantriebes möglich ist, ohne daß ein Einklemmvorgang stattfindet.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a monitoring device which is of particularly simple and inexpensive construction and in which it is possible to influence the window pane drive without a pinching process taking place.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das lichtablenkende Mittel entlang, zumindest von Teilbereichen, des oberen Randbereichs der Fensteröffnung angeordnet ist.This object is achieved in that the light-deflecting means is arranged along, at least in part, the upper edge region of the window opening.

Als lichtablenkende Mittel können hierbei brechende oder reflektierende Mittel vorgesehen werden.Refractive or reflecting means can be provided as light-deflecting means.

Als brechende Mittel eignen sich zum Beispiel Prismen- und/oder Linsenanordnungen, welche die elektromagnetische Strahlung vom Sender zum Empfänger leiten.Suitable refractive agents are, for example, prism and / or lens arrangements which conduct the electromagnetic radiation from the transmitter to the receiver.

Reflektierende Mittel können geeignet ausgestaltete ebene oder konkave Reflexionsflächen sein, über die die elektromagnetische Strahlung mittels ein- oder mehrfacher Reflexion vom Sender zum Empfänger geleitet wird.Reflective means can be suitably designed flat or concave reflection surfaces, via which the electromagnetic radiation is guided from the transmitter to the receiver by means of single or multiple reflection.

Hierdurch ist es auf besonders einfache Weise, beispielsweise mit nur einer einfachen aus einem Infrarotsender und einem Infrarotempfänger bestehenden Lichtschrankenanordnung möglich, den gesamten oberen Randbereich der Fensteröffnung zu überwachen. Das infrarote Licht wird hierzu durch das lichtablenkende Mittel entlang des oberen Randbereichs der Fensteröffnung zum Empfänger geleitet. Gelangt nun während des Schließvorganges des Fensters ein Gegenstand oder ein Körperteil in diesen Bereich, so gelangt nur noch eine verminderte Strahlungsintensität zum Empfänger, der daraufhin über eine Steuerelektronik ein Anhalten oder Umkehren der Scheibenbewegung bewirkt.This makes it possible to monitor the entire upper edge region of the window opening in a particularly simple manner, for example with only a simple light barrier arrangement consisting of an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. For this purpose, the infrared light is guided to the receiver by the light-deflecting means along the upper edge region of the window opening. If an object or a body part comes into this area during the closing process of the window, only a reduced radiation intensity reaches the receiver, which then causes the pane movement to be stopped or reversed via control electronics.

Ein besonderer Vorteil einer solchen Anordnung besteht darin, daß kein lichtleitendes Medium verwendet wird, dessen lichtleitende Eigenschaften durch eine äußere Krafteinwirkung verändert wird, wie es z. B. bei einem Lichtleiterfaserbündel oder bei einem zusammendrückbaren, innenverspiegelten Schlauch oder Rohr der Fall ist.A particular advantage of such an arrangement is that no light-guiding medium is used, the light-guiding properties of which are changed by an external force, as is the case, for. B. is the case with an optical fiber bundle or with a compressible, internally mirrored hose or tube.

Ein einklemmgefährdeter Gegenstand oder Körperteil kann also sensiert werden, ohne daß dieser vorher eingeklemmt wird. Auch ist die Anordnung besonders einfach und kostengünstig, da trotz des gekrümmten Strahlenganges nur ein Sender und Empfänger benötigt wird.An object or part of the body at risk of being pinched can thus be sensed without being pinched beforehand. The arrangement is also particularly simple and inexpensive since, despite the curved beam path, only one transmitter and receiver is required.

Auch ist die Ausgestaltung der lichtablenkenden Mittel ohne besonderen Aufwand möglich.The design of the light-deflecting means is also possible without any special effort.

Ist eine kompliziert geformte oder besonders ausgedehnte Fensterkontur zu überwachen, so können auch mehrere Sender zusammen mit mehreren Empfängern mehrere Lichtschrankenanordnungen ausbilden.If a complicatedly shaped or particularly extensive window contour is to be monitored, several transmitters together with several receivers can also form several light barrier arrangements.

Eine besonders kostengünstige Anordnung kann man dadurch erhalten, daß ein Strahlungssender mehrere Empfänger bestrahlt oder ein Empfänger von mehreren Sendern bestrahlt wird, wobei das einzelne Element an geeigneter, zentral gelegener Stelle zwischen den mehrfach vorhandenen Elementen angeordnet wird.A particularly inexpensive arrangement can be obtained in that a radiation transmitter is irradiated with several receivers or a receiver is irradiated with several transmitters, the individual element being arranged at a suitable, central location between the multiple elements.

Vorteilhaft ist auch ein reflektierendes Mittel, beispielsweise einen Spiegel, derart anzuordnen, daß Sender und Empfänger an eng benachbarten Orten angeordnet werden können.It is also advantageous to arrange a reflecting means, for example a mirror, in such a way that the transmitter and receiver can be arranged in closely adjacent locations.

Besonders vorteilhaft hinsichtlich des Aufbau-, Montage- und Verkabelungsaufwandes ist es bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung, wenn Sender und Empfänger in einem Gehäuse angeordnet werden können. Selbstverständlich sind auch hierbei Aufbauten mit mehreren Sendern und/oder Empfängern möglich.With such an embodiment, it is particularly advantageous with regard to the construction, assembly and cabling expenditure if the transmitter and receiver can be arranged in one housing. Of course, structures with several transmitters and / or receivers are also possible here.

Für die Ausbildung des lichtablenkenden Mittels sind ebenfalls eine Reihe von vorteilhaften Varianten möglich.A number of advantageous variants are also possible for the formation of the light-deflecting means.

Beispielhaft sollen im folgenden Ausbildungen des lichtablenkenden Mittels beschrieben werden, bei denen das lichtablenkende Mittel als reflektierendes Mittel ausgeführt ist.In the following, examples of the light-deflecting means in which the light-deflecting means is designed as a reflecting means will be described as an example.

So kann beispielsweise ein Bereich der Unterseite des oberen Türholms als reflektierendes Mittel ausgestaltet werden, beispielsweise indem dessen Oberfläche poliert und mit einem reflektierenden Lack überzogen wird. Diese Ausgestaltung ist besonders im Hinblick auf den geringen Materialaufwand günstig.For example, an area of the underside of the upper door pillar can be designed as a reflecting means, for example by polishing the surface thereof and is covered with a reflective varnish. This configuration is particularly advantageous in view of the low cost of materials.

Als reflektierendes Mittel kann ebenso ein Streifen Metallfolie oder Metallblech entlang der Unterseite des oberen Türholms aufgebracht werden. Eine solche Gestaltung bietet den Vorteil, daß keine besonderen Anforderungen an die Formgebung des Türholms gestellt werden müssen und daß an diesem auch keine nachträglichen Formgebungsmaßnahmen vorgenommen werden müssen, da die Vorgabe des Lichtweges durch die Formgebung des aufgebrachten reflektierenden Mittels bewirkt wird und beispielsweise leicht durch Zurechtbiegen eines als reflektierendes Mittel wirkenden Metallblechstreifen erfolgen kann.A strip of metal foil or sheet metal can also be applied as a reflecting agent along the underside of the upper door spar. Such a design offers the advantage that no special requirements have to be made of the shape of the door spar and that no subsequent shaping measures have to be carried out on it, since the specification of the light path is brought about by the shape of the reflecting means applied and, for example, easily by bending a sheet metal strip acting as a reflecting agent can take place.

Ein vergleichbarer Vorteil ergibt sich, wenn das reflektierende Mittel als Teil einer Türinnenverkleidung ausgebildet ist. Auch hier kann die Reflexionsrichtung auf einfache Weise durch die Formgebung der Türinnenverkleidung vorgegeben werden, ohne daß eine Veränderung des Türrahmens erforderlich ist.A comparable advantage is obtained if the reflective means is designed as part of an interior door panel. Here, too, the direction of reflection can be predefined in a simple manner by the shape of the inner door lining without the need to change the door frame.

In allen diesen Fällen ist es vorteilhaft, die als reflektierendes Mittel wirkende Oberfläche durch eine Schutzschicht beispielsweise gegen Zerkratzen zu schützen. Die Schutzschicht kann dabei z. B. als eine dunkle infrarotdurchlässige Kunststoffolie oder auch als infrarotdurchlässige Lackschicht ausgebildet sein.In all these cases, it is advantageous to protect the surface acting as a reflecting agent against scratching, for example, by means of a protective layer. The protective layer can, for. B. can be designed as a dark infrared-transparent plastic film or as an infrared-transparent lacquer layer.

Solche Schutzschichten können auch, insbesondere wenn das reflektierende Mittel als blank polierte Metalloberfläche ausgeführt ist, eine Verbesserung der ästhetischen Wirkung des reflektierenden Mittels bewirken.Such protective layers can also bring about an improvement in the aesthetic effect of the reflective agent, in particular if the reflective agent is in the form of a brightly polished metal surface.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele für die erfindungsgemäße überwachungsvorrichtung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt und werden im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.

  • Die Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Anordnung der erfindungsgemäßen überwachungsvorrichtung,
  • die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen in zwei Ausführungsbeispielen jeweils einen Schnitt durch den mit A-A gekennzeichneten Teilbereich der Figur 1.
Two exemplary embodiments of the monitoring device according to the invention are shown in the drawing and are explained below with reference to the drawing.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic arrangement of the monitoring device according to the invention,
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 each show, in two exemplary embodiments, a section through the subarea of FIG. 1 marked with AA.

In der Figur 1 ist die Außenansicht einer Kraftfahrzeugtür, die eine motorisch betriebene Fensterscheibe (1) sowie eine erfindungsgemäße überwachungsvorrichtung aufweist, dargestellt.FIG. 1 shows the external view of a motor vehicle door which has a motor-operated window pane (1) and a monitoring device according to the invention.

Im Bereich des oberen Randes der Fensteröffnung (5) ist auf der Türinnenseite auf noch zu beschreibende Weise ein reflektierendes Mittel (4) angebracht.In the area of the upper edge of the window opening (5), a reflective means (4) is attached to the inside of the door in a manner to be described.

An jeweils gegenüberliegenden Seiten des oberen Randbereichs der Fensteröffnung ist ein Infrarotstrahlungssender (2) bzw. ein Infrarotstrahlungsempfänger (3) an der Tür angeordnet oder in die Tür eingelassen.An infrared radiation transmitter (2) or an infrared radiation receiver (3) is arranged on the door on each opposite side of the upper edge region of the window opening or is embedded in the door.

Vom Infrarotsender (2) gelangt über einfache oder mehrfache Reflexion zumindest ein Teil der vom Sender (2) abgegebenen Strahlungsintensität zum Empfänger (3). In der Figur 1 ist beispielhaft ein möglicher Strahlenverlauf eingezeichnet.At least part of the radiation intensity emitted by the transmitter (2) reaches the receiver (3) from the infrared transmitter (2) via single or multiple reflection. A possible beam path is shown as an example in FIG.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen einen Querschnitt durch den in der Figur 1 mit A-A gekennzeichneten Bereich. Die Bezugszeichen für gleiche oder gleichwirkende Gegenstände entsprechen im folgenden denen der Figur 1.FIGS. 2 and 3 show a cross section through the area marked A-A in FIG. In the following, the reference symbols for identical or equivalent objects correspond to those in FIG. 1.

Die Figur 2 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch den oberen Türholm (7). In den oberen Türholm (7) ist eine Gummidichtung (10) eingepaßt, in welche die motorisch angetriebene Fensterscheibe (1) während des Schließvorgangs einläuft.Figure 2 shows a cross section through the upper door spar (7). In the upper door spar (7) is one Rubber seal (10) fitted into which the motor-driven window pane (1) runs in during the closing process.

Als reflektierendes Mittel (4) wird hier ein flächig ausgebildeter Bereich des oberen Türholmes (7) verwendet.A flat area of the upper door handle (7) is used here as reflecting means (4).

Zur Erzielung reflektierender Eigenschaften ist in diesem Bereich die Oberfläche des Türholmblechs poliert worden. Es ist vorteilhaft, diesen Bereich des Türholms (7) mit einer schützenden Abdeckung (9) zu versehen. Hierzu eignet sich beispielsweise ein infrarotdurchlässiger Schutzlack oder eine infrarotdurchlässige Folie.The surface of the door bar plate has been polished in this area to achieve reflective properties. It is advantageous to provide this area of the door spar (7) with a protective cover (9). For example, an infrared-transparent protective lacquer or an infrared-transparent film is suitable for this.

Anstatt den als reflektierendes Mittel (4) vorgesehenen Bereich des Türholms (7) zu polieren, kann der Türholm (7) auch mit einer reflektierenden Lackschicht versehen werden. Als reflektierende Mittel (4) eignen sich auch polierte Metallfolien oder Metallbleche, die auf diesen Bereich des Türholms (7) aufgebracht werden. Durch die Formgebung der aufgebrachten Metallfolie oder des aufgebrachten Metallbleches kann leicht der Strahlenverlauf vom Sender (2) zum Empfänger (3) vorgegeben werden.Instead of polishing the area of the door spar (7) provided as reflecting means (4), the door spar (7) can also be provided with a reflective lacquer layer. Polished metal foils or metal sheets which are applied to this area of the door spar (7) are also suitable as reflecting means (4). The shape of the applied metal foil or sheet can easily be used to specify the beam path from the transmitter (2) to the receiver (3).

Eine andere Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen überwachungsvorrichtung zeigt die Figur 3. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist der obere Türholm (7) an der Fahrzeuginnenseite mit einer Türinnenverkleidung (8) versehen. Das reflektierende Mittel (4) wird hier durch eine reflektierende Fläche an der Türinnenverkleidung (8) ausgebildet. Die reflektierende Fläche, die an geeigneter Stelle an der Türinnenverkleidung (8) aufgebracht ist, kann auch hier als reflektierende Lackschicht oder als polierte Metallfolie bzw. Metallblech ausgebildet sein. Ein besonderer Vorteil gerade dieser Ausführungsform ist darin zu sehen, daß die Einstellung des Lichtweges durch Formgebungsmaßnahmen beispielsweise der Türinnenverkleidung (8) schon vor dem Anfügen der Türinnenverkleidung (8) an den Türholm (7) erfolgen kann. Die Montage und Einstellung des reflektierenden Mittels (4) kann daher auf vorteilhafte Weise unabhängig von der Montage des Türrahmens erfolgen.Another embodiment of the surveillance device according to the invention is shown in FIG. The reflective means (4) is formed here by a reflective surface on the inner door panel (8). The reflective surface, which is applied at a suitable point on the inner door trim (8), can also be designed here as a reflective lacquer layer or as a polished metal foil or sheet metal. A particular advantage of this embodiment can be seen in the fact that the adjustment of the light path by means of shaping measures, for example the door interior trim (8) can be done before attaching the door lining (8) to the door spar (7). The assembly and adjustment of the reflecting means (4) can therefore advantageously take place independently of the assembly of the door frame.

Die auf die Türinnenverkleidung (8) aufgebrachte reflektierende Oberfläche (4) wird auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch eine geeignete Schutzschicht (infrarotdurchlässige Kunststoffolie oder infrarotdurchlässiger Schutzlack oder ähnliches) abgedeckt.The reflecting surface (4) applied to the door interior trim (8) is also covered in this exemplary embodiment by a suitable protective layer (infrared-transparent plastic film or infrared-transparent protective lacquer or the like).

In der Figur 1 ist beispielhaft der Strahlenverlauf (11) des vom Sender (2) zum Empfänger (3) geleiteten Lichts stark vereinfacht dargestellt. Tatsächlich sind, insbesondere abhängig von der Formgebung des reflektierenden Mittels (4) verschiedene Strahlenwege und zwar insbesondere über Mehrfachreflexionen möglich. Vorteilhaft ist daher, den Empfänger (3) bzw. die damit verbundene Elektronik so auszulegen, daß sie nicht allein auf ein Ausbleiben, sondern bereits auf eine Verminderung der Lichtintensität reagiert, so daß eine Beeinflussung des Fensterantriebs schon bei Unterbrechung eines möglichen Lichtweges erfolgt.In FIG. 1, the beam path (11) of the light directed from the transmitter (2) to the receiver (3) is shown in a highly simplified manner. In fact, different beam paths are possible, in particular depending on the shape of the reflecting means (4), in particular by means of multiple reflections. It is therefore advantageous to design the receiver (3) or the electronics connected to it in such a way that it does not react solely to a lack of light, but already to a reduction in the light intensity, so that the window drive is influenced as soon as a possible light path is interrupted.

Umgekehrt ist es auch möglich, nur den direkt (also mittels einfacher Reflexion) vom Sender (2) zum Empfänger (3) geleiteten Lichtanteil zur überwachung zu benutzen. Hierdurch kann man die Anbringung reflektierender Mittel (4) auf einen kleineren Teilbereich des oberen Randes der Fensteröffnung (5) beschränken.Conversely, it is also possible to use only the light component which is directed directly (ie by means of simple reflection) from the transmitter (2) to the receiver (3) for monitoring. As a result, the attachment of reflecting means (4) can be restricted to a smaller partial area of the upper edge of the window opening (5).

Weitere zur überwachungseinrichtung gehörende Einrichtungen, wie z. B. die Steuerschaltungen oder der mechanische Teil des Fensterantriebs, sind ausreichend bekannt, so daß auf eine Darstellung hier verzichtet werden kann. Als vorteilhafte Maßnahmen sollen hier lediglich vorgeschlagen werden, daß der Sender (2) gepulst betrieben und der Empfänger (3) mit einem Tubus versehen werden sollte, um eine Störung durch Gleich- bzw. Streulicht auszuschließen und die Empfindlichkeit der Anlage weiter zu erhöhen.Other devices belonging to the monitoring device, such as. B. the control circuits or the mechanical part of the window drive are well known, so that it can be omitted here. The only advantageous measures to be proposed here are that the transmitter (2) is operated in pulsed mode and the receiver (3) should be provided with a tube in order to rule out interference from direct or scattered light and to further increase the sensitivity of the system.
