Description
Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der Gestaltung von Fahrzeuginnenräumen beziehungsweise von Einrichtungen in Fahrzeuginnenräumen, die zur Bedienung oder zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit und des Fahrkomforts vorgesehen sind.The Invention is in the field of the design of vehicle interiors or of facilities in vehicle interiors intended for service or to increase safety and ride comfort.
Der Trend bei modernen Fahrzeugen geht zu einer effizienteren und komfortableren Gestaltung des Fahrzeuginnenraums, wobei je nach Zielsetzung beispielsweise zusätzlich Platz eingespart werden soll oder das subjektive Platzempfinden eines Fahrers verbessert werden soll. Dies führt dazu, dass Fahrzeugeinbauten wie beispielsweise der Sitz in bezug auf Sitzhöhe, Weichheit und Formung sowie die Kopfstütze in bezug auf ihre Form und Lage zur Erhöhung des Fahrkomforts und der Sicherheit immer spezieller angepasst werden. Dies ist jedoch grundsätzlich nur für Personen einer bestimmten festliegenden Größe beziehungsweise anatomischen Beschaffenheit optimiert möglich.Of the Trend in modern vehicles is becoming more efficient and comfortable Design of the vehicle interior, depending on the objective, for example additionally Space should be saved or the subjective sense of space a driver should be improved. This leads to vehicle installations such as the seat in terms of seat height, softness and shaping as well the headrest in terms of their shape and location to increase driving comfort and the Security to be more and more customized. However, this is basically only for persons a certain fixed size or anatomical Texture optimized possible.
Daher sehen die meisten Fahrzeugeinbauten Einstellmöglichkeiten zur Anpassung an die individuelle Anatomie des Fahrers beziehungsweise des Fahrzeuginsassen vor.Therefore see most vehicle bodies adjustment options for customization the individual anatomy of the driver or the vehicle occupant in front.
Jedoch wird oft aus Bequemlichkeit oder Vergesslichkeit nicht daran gedacht, die jeweils optimierte Position der Fahrzeugeinbauten einzustellen, insbesondere wenn das Fahrzeug häufig von wechselnden Personen benutzt wird.however is often not thought of for convenience or forgetfulness to set the respectively optimized position of the vehicle bodies, especially if the vehicle is frequent used by changing people.
Hierzu ist es bereits bekannt, bestimmte Profile für beispielsweise Sitzstellungen oder auch Lenkradpositionen in einer elektronischen Speichereinrichtung innerhalb des Fahrzeugs zu speichern und beim Einsteigen eines Fahrers in das Fahrzeug diesen zum Beispiel elektronisch durch seinen Fahrzeugschlüssel zu identifizieren und die entsprechenden Parameter selbsttätig einzustellen.For this it is already known, certain profiles for example sitting positions or also steering wheel positions in an electronic storage device to store inside the vehicle and when boarding a driver in the vehicle this example, electronically through his car key identify and adjust the corresponding parameters automatically.
Dies setzt jedoch eine Identifikationsmöglichkeit des Fahrgastes voraus sowie, dass die entsprechend optimierten Parameter vorher eingespeichert worden sind.This however, requires an identification possibility of the passenger and that the correspondingly optimized parameters are previously stored have been.
Es
sind außerdem
Systeme bekannt, bei denen, wie beispielsweise gemäß der Deutschen
Patentschrift Nr.
Aus der genannten Patentschrift ist beispielsweise bekannt, mit einer Art Lichtschranke die Position des Kopfes eines Fahrers zu ermitteln und die Höhe einer Kopfstütze in Abhängigkeit von der Kopfposition einzustellen.Out the said patent is known, for example, with a Type photoelectric sensor to detect the position of the head of a driver and the height a headrest dependent on from the head position.
Ebenso ist es gemäß der genannten Patentschrift bekannt, die Position des Kopfes mittels Ultraschall oder durch ein Wärmemessgerät beziehungsweise durch einen Augenscanner zu bestimmen.As well it is according to the mentioned Patent known, the position of the head by means of ultrasound or by a heat meter or to be determined by an eye scanner.
All diese Einrichtungen haben gemeinsam, dass speziell zur Bestimmung der Positionen von Körperteilen eines Fahrers bestimmte Sensoren eingebaut werden, die den entsprechenden anatomischen Parameter erfassen, so dass bestimmte geometrische Parameter der Fahrzeugeinbauten eingestellt werden können.Alles These institutions have in common that specifically for the purpose of determination the positions of body parts a certain sensor sensors are installed, the corresponding capture anatomical parameters, so that certain geometric Parameters of vehicle fittings can be adjusted.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich zur Aufgabe gestellt, eine derartige Optimierung von Fahrzeugeinbauten mit einem möglichst geringen konstruktiven Aufwand zu erlauben.The The present invention has for its object to provide such Optimization of vehicle installations with the least possible constructive To allow effort.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Zur Optimierung von geometrischen Parametern von Fahrzeugeinbauten wie beispielsweise der Sitzposition, Sitzhöhe, der Höhe einer Kopfstütze beziehungsweise der Neigung einer Kopfstütze wird mittels einer Erfassungseinrichtung in Form einer elektronischen Kamera, die auf die Person gerichtet ist, ein Bild aufgenommen, das in einer Bildauswerteeinrichtung verarbeitet wird.The The object is achieved by the Characteristics of claim 1 solved. To optimize geometric Parameters of vehicle installations such as the seat position, seat height, the Height of one headrest or the inclination of a headrest is by means of a detection device in the form of an electronic camera aimed at the person is an image taken, which processes in an image evaluation device becomes.
Derartige Kameras sind in vielen Fahrzeugen heute schon beispielsweise als Bestandteil einer Ermüdungsüberwachungseinrichtung vorhanden, so dass ohne zusätzlichen Einbau von Hardware lediglich die aufgenommenen Bilder dieser Kameras einer zusätzlichen Auswertung unterzogen werden müssen, um Körperpositionen des Fahrers oder eines Beifahrers zu erfassen und daraus Schlussfolgerungen für die Verstellung von Parametern von Fahrzeugeinbauten zu ziehen. Es können damit mit geringem Hardwareaufwand beide Features, sowohl die Wachsamkeitsüberwachung als auch die automatische Optimierung von der Position von Fahrzeugeinbauten bei einem Fahrzeug angeboten werden.such Cameras are in many vehicles today, for example, as Part of a fatigue monitoring device present, so without additional Installation of hardware only the recorded images of these cameras an additional one Evaluation must be subjected around body positions of the driver or a passenger and to draw conclusions for the Adjustment of parameters of vehicle bodies to pull. It can handle it with low hardware cost both features, both the vigilance monitoring as well as the automatic optimization of the position of vehicle installations be offered at a vehicle.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Bildauswerteeinrichtung der äußeren Erscheinung der Person anatomische Parameter zuordnet und dass eine Verarbeitungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die den anatomischen Parametern optimierte geometrische Para meter der Fahrzeugeinbauten zuordnet. Beispielsweise kann aus bestimmten vermessbaren Parametern der Person, der Länge der Unter- oder Oberschenkel und der Größe anderer Körperteile die Sitzgröße, das heißt auch die Position des Kopfes in der normalen Sitzposition bestimmt und hieraus die optimierte Position für eine Kopfstütze bestimmt werden. Besonders einfach ist dies dadurch möglich, dass in sitzendem Zustand der Person die Position des Gesichts oder markanter Merkmale des Gesichts im Erfassungsbereich der Kamera vermessen und mit der augenblicklichen Position der Kopfstütze beziehungsweise mit einer Soll-Position des Gesichts der Person verglichen wird. Aus entsprechenden Abweichungen können dann Schlüsse darüber gezogen werden, ob die Position der Kopfstütze oder die Sitzhöhe nachjustiert werden sollte oder ob eine entsprechende Information an die Person, beispielsweise den Fahrer abgegeben wird, um ihm selbst das Einstellen der Sitzparameter zu erlauben.An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the image evaluation device of the external appearance of the person assigns anatomical parameters and that a processing device is provided which assigns the anatomical parameters optimized geometric para meters of vehicle installations. For example, determined from certain measurable parameters of the person, the length of the lower or thigh and the size of other body parts, the seat size, that is, the position of the head in the normal sitting position and from this the optimized position for a headrest can be determined. This is particularly easy because in the sitting state of the person the position of the face or prominent features of the face in the detection area the camera is measured and compared with the current position of the headrest or with a desired position of the face of the person. From corresponding deviations conclusions can then be drawn as to whether the position of the headrest or the seat height should be readjusted or whether appropriate information is given to the person, for example the driver, to allow him to set the seat parameters.
Besonders vorteilhaft weist die Einrichtung eine Verstelleinrichtung mit wenigstens einem Aktor auf, mittels dessen wenigstens ein geometrischer Parameter von Fahrzeugeinbauten vom Ist-Wert auf einen Soll-Wert verstellt wird.Especially Advantageously, the device has an adjusting device with at least an actuator, by means of which at least one geometric parameter of vehicle installations from the actual value to a target value becomes.
Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung sorgt somit selbstständig dafür, dass für einen Fahrzeuginsassen, also insbesondere für den Fahrer ein oder mehrere geometrische Parameter bei den Fahrzeugeinbauten, die ihn direkt umgeben, optimal eingestellt werden. Dadurch wird einerseits der Komfort für die Person erhöht ohne dass er selbst für eine Einstellung Sorge tragen muss und andererseits wird die Fahrsicherheit vergrößert, beispielsweise dadurch, dass auch die Sicherheitseinrichtungen des Fahrzeugs in ihrer Wirkung optimiert werden. Beispielsweise kann der Sicherheitsgurt auf die Sitzhöhe beziehungsweise Größe des Fahrers oder eines Beifahrers optimiert eingestellt werden oder die Höhe und Funktionsweise des Sitzes kann auf eine optimierte Sicht des Fahrers und auf eine optimierte Wirkung eines Airbags eingestellt werden. Auch die Stellung einer Kopfstütze kann für eine optimierte Wirkung im Kollisionsfall eingestellt werden.The inventive device thus ensures independently for this, that for a vehicle occupant, so in particular for the driver one or more geometric parameters in the vehicle installations that direct him surrounded, optimally adjusted. As a result, on the one hand the Comfort for the Person increases without him for himself An attitude must take care and on the other hand, the driving safety enlarged, for example in that also the safety devices of the vehicle in their effects are optimized. For example, the seat belt on the seat height or size of the driver or a passenger's tuned to be adjusted or the height and functioning The seat can be adjusted to an optimized view of the driver and on one optimized effect of an airbag can be adjusted. Also the position a headrest can for an optimized effect can be set in the event of a collision.
Insbesondere kann dabei die Höhe der Kopfstütze oder ihre Neigung eingestellt werden, damit bei einem Auffahrunfall von hinten oder einem Zusammenstoß mit einem Hindernis vor dem Fahrzeug Halswirbelsäulenverletzungen der Fahrzeuginsassen minimiert werden. Auch die Höhe der Sitzfläche kann mittels eines Aktors optimiert eingestellt werden, wobei vorteilhaft auch für eine abgestimmte Einstellung der Kopfstütze und der Sitzfläche gesorgt wird.Especially can do the height the headrest or their inclination can be adjusted so that in a rear-end collision from behind or a collision with an obstacle in front of you Vehicle cervical spine injuries the vehicle occupants are minimized. Also, the height of the seat can be set optimized by means of an actuator, which is advantageous also for a coordinated adjustment of the headrest and the seat is ensured.
Zusätzlich kann auch die Lenkradposition, das heißt Höhe und Neigung des Lenkrades auf die Größe oder andere Parameter der Person abgestimmt und entsprechend mittels Aktoren eingestellt werden.In addition, can also the steering wheel position, ie the height and inclination of the steering wheel on the size or other parameters of the person matched and accordingly by means of Actuators are set.
Letztlich ist, wenn die Größe des Fahrers erfasst worden ist, auch die Neutralposition eines Pedals, beispielsweise eines Gas- oder Bremspedals auf bestimmte Parameter wie beispielsweise die Beinlänge des Fahrers einstellbar.Ultimately is if the size of the driver has been detected, including the neutral position of a pedal, for example a gas or brake pedal to certain parameters such as the leg length adjustable by the driver.
Vorteilhaft kann die Erfindung beispielsweise dadurch ausgestaltet werden, dass ein Aktor für die Verstellung der Kopfstütze in der Sitzrückenlehne einen dort eingebauten Elektromotor aufweist, der mittels eines Untersetzungsgetriebes mit der Kopfstütze verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise wird ohne weiteren Platzbedarf der Elektromotor untergebracht und dieser kann mittels weniger kinematischer Elemente mit der Kopfstütze derart verbunden werden, dass diese zur Anpassung an die anatomischen Merkmale des Fahrzeuginsassen eingestellt werden kann. Dabei ist insbesondere die Sitzhöhe des Fahrzeuginsassen, das heißt die Position seines Kopfes in sitzender Haltung für die anzustrebende Position der Kopfstütze ausschlaggebend.Advantageous For example, the invention may be embodied in that an actor for the adjustment of the headrest in the seat back has a built-in electric motor there by means of a Reduction gear is connected to the headrest. To this Way is accommodated without further space requirement of the electric motor and this can by means of less kinematic elements with the headrest in such a way be connected, that these adapt to the anatomical features the vehicle occupant can be adjusted. It is in particular the seat height of the vehicle occupant, that is the position of his head in a sitting position for the desired Position of the headrest is crucial.
Vorteilhaft kann die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung auch direkt Merkmale des Gesichts der Person erfassen und die Position einer Kopfstütze unmittelbar in eine bestimmte Position relativ zu den erfassten Merkmalen des Gesichts bewegen.Advantageous can the device of the invention also directly capture features of the person's face and position a headrest directly into a certain position relative to the detected Move features of the face.
Es ist damit, ohne dass zunächst bestimmte anatomische Parameter der Person selbst ermittelt werden, gewährleistet, dass beispielsweise eine bestimmte Markierung an der Kopfstütze immer in Augenhöhe der sitzenden Person gebracht wird, um die Funktion der Kopfstütze im Havariefall zu optimieren.It is with it, without that first certain anatomical parameters of the person himself are determined guaranteed that, for example, a certain mark on the headrest always at eye level The seated person is brought to the function of the headrest in case of emergency to optimize.
Das Funktionieren der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung kann somit durch ein einfaches Regelverfahren verwirklicht werden. Es ist auch denkbar, dass die Sitzhöhe derart verstellt wird, dass die entsprechenden Gesichtsmerkmale in die richtige Position zu einer feststehenden Kopfstütze durch Anheben oder Absenken der Person gebracht werden.The Functioning of the device according to the invention can thus be realized by a simple control method. It is also conceivable that the seat height is adjusted so that the appropriate facial features in the right position too a fixed headrest be brought by raising or lowering the person.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich außerdem auf ein Verfahren zur Optimierung von geometrischen Parametern bei Fahrzeugeinbauten für eine in einem Sitz eines Fahrzeugs sitzende Person, bei dem die Person wenigstens teilweise mittels einer elektronischen Kamera erfasst und unter Berücksichtigung der Position von Körpermerkmalen der Person wenigstens ein Aktor einer Verstelleinrichtung angesteuert wird. Eine derartige Verstelleinrichtung kann beispielsweise durch eine Höhenverstellung einer Kopfstütze oder eine Verstellungseinrichtung für die Neigung einer Kopfstütze gebildet sein. Es ist aber auch denkbar, eine Verstelleinrichtung für die Höhe einer Sitzfläche vorzusehen. Im Normalfall sind die Verstelleinrichtungen mit Aktoren in Form von Elektromotoren versehen, die mit dem elektrischen Bordnetz eines Fahrzeugs betreibbar sind.The Invention also relates to a method for optimizing geometric parameters Vehicle installations for a person sitting in a seat of a vehicle, in whom the Person at least partially by means of an electronic camera recorded and taken into account the position of body features the person controlled at least one actuator of an adjustment becomes. Such adjusting can, for example, by a height adjustment a headrest or an adjustment device for the inclination of a headrest be formed. But it is also conceivable, an adjustment for the Height of one seat provided. Normally, the adjustment with actuators in the form of electric motors provided with the electrical system a vehicle are operable.
