Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung für ein automatisches Abblenden eines Rückspiegels und/oder Außenspiegels für ein Fahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The The invention relates to an arrangement for automatic dimming a rearview mirror and / or outside mirror for a Vehicle according to the generic term of claim 1
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Arten von abblendbaren Rückspiegeln zur Vermeidung von Blendung eines Fahrzeugführers durch Scheinwerfer eines nachfolgenden Fahrzeuges bekannt. Eine Art der Abblendung erfolgt insbesondere durch eine mechanische Betätigungseinrichtung. Hierbei wird der Rückspiegel vom Fahrzeugführer von Hand entweder in eine Position für Tageslicht oder in eine Position für Nachtfahrten eingestellt.Out The prior art includes various types of dimming rearview mirrors to avoid dazzling a driver by headlights of a following vehicle known. A kind of dimming takes place in particular by a mechanical actuator. in this connection becomes the rearview mirror from the driver of Hand either in a position for Daylight or set in a position for night driving.
Darüber hinaus erfolgt ein automatisches Abblenden des Rückspiegels bei einfallendem Licht von hinten über eine Elektronik, welche im Rückspiegel angeordnet ist. Ein Teil dieser Elektronik bilden Sensoren, welche vordere und hintere Lichtverhältnisse erfassen.Furthermore there is an automatic dimming of the rearview mirror when incident Light from behind over an electronics, which in the rearview mirror is arranged. Part of this electronics form sensors, which front and rear light conditions to capture.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Anordnung zum Abblenden eines Rückspiegels anzugeben, welche kostengünstig und einfach aufgebaut ist.Of the Invention is based on the object, an improved arrangement for dimming a rearview mirror indicate which cost and is simple.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The The object is achieved by the achieved in claim 1 features. Advantageous developments The invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung für ein automatisches Abblenden eines Rückspiegels und/oder Außenspiegels für ein Fahrzeug sind zwei Sensoren vorgesehen, von denen der eine Umgebungslicht und der andere hintere Lichtverhältnisse erfasst und deren Lichtsignale einer Auswerteeinheit zuführbar sind. Anhand einer von der Auswerteeinheit gebildeten Differenz aus Lichtsignalen des erfassten Umgebungslichtes (= vordere Lichtverhältnisse) und der hinteren Lichtverhältnisse erzeugt die Auswerteeinheit ein Steuersignal zum automatischen Abblenden des Rückspiegels und/oder der Außenspiegel.at the inventive arrangement for a automatic dimming of a rear-view mirror and / or outside mirror for a Vehicle are provided two sensors, one of which is an ambient light and the other rear light conditions detected and whose light signals can be fed to an evaluation unit. On the basis of a the evaluation unit formed difference of light signals of the detected Ambient light (= front light conditions) and the rear lighting conditions the evaluation unit generates a control signal for automatic dimming the rearview mirror and / or the outside mirror.
Um das Messfeld des beispielsweise nach vorn oder unten gerichteten Sensors nicht durch eine Rückspiegelstellung, ein Fahrzeugdach oder eine partiell an der Frontscheibe angeordnete Tönungsfolie (so genannter Blendstreifen) zu beeinträchtigen, wird insbesondere der das Umgebungslicht erfassende Sensor erfindungsgemäß außerhalb des Rückspiegels beispielsweise an einer Frontscheibe des Fahrzeuges angeordnet. Dadurch ist ein uneingeschränktes Messfeld sichergestellt. Durch die Anordnung des das Umgebungslicht erfassenden Sensors außerhalb des Rückspiegels werden Bauteile der Rückspiegelelektronik reduziert. Hierdurch können in den Rückspiegel durch den zusätzlich gewonnenen Bauraum weitere Steuergeräte für andere Funktionen angeordnet und/oder integriert werden.Around the measuring field of, for example, forward or downward Sensor not by a rear-view mirror position, a vehicle roof or a partially arranged on the windshield Window film (so-called Blendstreifen) to affect, in particular the ambient light detecting sensor according to the invention outside the rearview mirror arranged for example on a windscreen of the vehicle. This is an unrestricted Measuring field ensured. By the arrangement of the ambient light detecting sensor outside the rearview mirror become components of the rearview mirror electronics reduced. This allows in the rearview mirror by the addition obtained space further control devices arranged for other functions and / or integrated.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung kann zusätzlich der Sensor zur Erfassung der hinteren Lichtverhältnisse außerhalb des Rückspiegels und darüber hinaus bevorzugt außerhalb des Fahrzeuges angeordnet werden. Hierdurch ist für den nach hinten ausgerichteten Sensor ebenfalls ein uneingeschränktes Messfeld ermöglicht. Durch die sowohl nach vorne als auch nach hinten erfolgende Lichtmessung und deren Auswertung ist eine differenzierte, automatische Abblendung hinsichtlich des Rück- und der Außenspiegel möglich. Somit können auch bei Fahrzeugen, die aufgrund ihrer Bauart, z. B. Kastenwagen, keinen Lichteinfall von hinten zulassen, deren Außenspiegel abgeblendet werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention can additionally the sensor for detecting the rear lighting conditions outside the rearview mirror and above also preferred outside of the vehicle are arranged. This is for the after Rear-facing sensor also an unrestricted measuring field allows. Through the forward and the backward light measurement and their evaluation is a differentiated, automatic dimming in terms of of the return and the outside mirror possible. Thus, you can also in vehicles that due to their design, eg. B. Van, allow no light from the rear, the outside mirrors dimmed.
Vorzugsweise werden als Sensoren bereits im Fahrzeug vorhandene Sensoren, wie beispielsweise ein Regensensor, ein Lichtsensor, ein Umgebungslichtsensor, eine optische Aufnahmeeinheit, wie z. B. eine Kamera, und/oder ein Helligkeitssensor, verwendet.Preferably be as sensors already in the vehicle existing sensors, such as For example, a rain sensor, a light sensor, an ambient light sensor, an optical recording unit, such. As a camera, and / or a Brightness sensor, used.
