Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Signalisierungseinrichtung zur Anzeige von Warn- und/oder Informationshinweisen in einem Kraftfahrzeug mit einer optischen Anzeigeeinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The The present invention relates to a signaling device for Display of warning and / or information in a motor vehicle with an optical display device according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Aus der DE 10 2004 016 808 A1 ist eine gattungsgemäße Signalisierungseinrichtung für ein Fahrzeug bekannt, die auf der Grundlage eines zur Verfügung gestellten Signals, beispielsweise aus einem Kollisions-Vermeidungssystem, eine richtungsbezogene Information für einen Fahrer des Fahrzeugs bereitstellt, die in Zusammenhang mit einem auf ein bestimmtes Objekt bezogenen Ereignis steht, auf das der Fahrer aufmerksam gemacht werden soll. Die Signalisierungseinrichtung weist zu diesem Zwecke eine zweischalige Windschutzscheibe auf, wobei zwischen den beiden Schalen mehrere, ausschließlich in aktiviertem Zustand sichtbare Anzeigeelemente zur Anzeige eines Warn- und/oder Informationshinweises selektiv sichtbar gemacht werden können. Eine derartige Signalisierungseinrichtung erfordert die Verwendung der beschriebenen spezifischen Windschutzscheibe und ist daher bezüglich ihres Aufbaus dementsprechend aufwändig.From the DE 10 2004 016 808 A1 a generic signaling device for a vehicle is known which on the basis of an available signal, for example from a collision avoidance system, provides directional information for a driver of the vehicle, which is related to an event related to a particular object that the driver should be alerted. The signaling device has for this purpose a double-shell windshield, wherein between the two shells several visible only in the activated state display elements for displaying a warning and / or information notice can be selectively made visible. Such a signaling device requires the use of the specific windshield described and is therefore correspondingly expensive in terms of its structure.

Die vorliegende Erfindung befasst sich mit dem Problem, für eine gattungsgemäße Signalisierungseinrichtung eine verbesserte oder zumindest eine alternative Ausführungsform anzugeben, die konstruktiv einfach aufgebaut und daher kostengünstig zu realisieren ist.The The present invention addresses the problem of a generic signaling device an improved or at least one alternative embodiment specify that structurally simple and therefore inexpensive to realize is.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.These The object is achieved by the Subject of the independent Claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent Claims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, eine Signalisierungseinrichtung zur Anzeige von Warn- und/oder Informationshinweisen in einem Kraftfahrzeug mit einer optischen Anzeigeeinrichtung auszustatten, die im wesentlichen aus einem sich entlang eines oberen und/oder unteren Randes der Windschutzscheibe erstreckenden Lichtband besteht und die in der Lage ist, einzelne Lichtsignale auf diesem Lichtband zu erzeugen, so dass der Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs auf eine Richtung, aus der das auftretende Ereignis erwartet wird, hingewiesen wird. Im Vergleich zu der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Signalisierungseinrichtung ist ein derartiges Lichtband kostengünstig herzustellen und vergleichsweise einfach zu montieren. Zugleich wird ein von der erfindungsgemäßen Anzeigeeinrichtung ausgesandtes Lichtsignal vom Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs weniger störend empfunden als beispielsweise akustische oder haptische Signale, die zudem die Richtung, aus der das auftretende Ereignis erwartet wird, naturgemäß nicht wiederzugeben vermögen.The The invention is based on the general idea of a signaling device for displaying warning and / or information in a motor vehicle equipped with an optical display device which substantially from one extending along an upper and / or lower edge of the Windscreen extending strip of light exists and in the Able to produce individual light signals on this light band, allowing the driver of the motor vehicle to follow a direction from which the occurring event is expected to be pointed out. Compared to the signaling device known from the prior art Such a light band is inexpensive to manufacture and comparatively easy to assemble. At the same time, one emitted by the display device according to the invention Light signal from the driver of the motor vehicle felt less disturbing as for example acoustic or haptic signals, in addition the direction from which the occurring event is expected, naturally not able to reproduce.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Signalisierungseinrichtung derart ausgebildet, dass diese den Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs durch einen auf der Anzeigeeinrichtung erzeugten Lichtpunkt auf die Richtung des auftretenden Ereignisses hinweist. Je nach Anwendungsfall sind anstelle der Erzeugung eines Lichtpunkts jedoch auch beliebige andere geometrische Formen des Lichtsignals vorstellbar. So kann der Hinweis auf das auftretende Ereignis alternativ durch Erzeugung eines flächenförmigen, insbesondere kreisförmigen oder elliptischen Lichtflecks, oder aber einer in vertikaler Richtung der Windschutzscheibe verlaufenden Lichtlinie erfolgen.advantageously, the signaling device is designed such that it the driver of the motor vehicle by a on the display device generated light spot on the direction of the event occurring points. Depending on the application, instead of generating a But also any other geometric shapes of the Light signal conceivable. Thus, the reference to the occurring Event alternatively by generating a sheet-like, in particular circular or elliptical light spot, or one in the vertical direction take the windshield extending light line.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Signalisierungseinrichtung weist die Anzeigeeinrichtung mehrere Leuchtdioden auf. Leuchtdioden sind heutzutage in nahezu allen Farben erhältlich und benötigen im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Glühlampen deutlich weniger elektrische Energie.at a further advantageous embodiment of the signaling device according to the invention the display device has a plurality of light emitting diodes. LEDs are available in nearly every color today and require Compared to conventional lightbulbs significantly less electrical energy.

Hierbei ist es denkbar, das von den Leuchtdioden ausgesandte Licht innerhalb der Anzeigeeinrichtung durch Verwendung eines Lichtleiters zu übertragen, der seinerseits mehrere lichtleitende Fasern aufweist, die verteilt über die Länge der Anzeigeeinrichtung an unterschiedlichen Stellen enden und ein entsprechendes Lichtsignal im Bereich des oberen und/oder unteren Randes der Windschutzscheibe erzeugen.in this connection It is conceivable that the light emitted by the LEDs within the display device by using a light guide to transmit which in turn has a plurality of photoconductive fibers distributed over the Length of Display device ends at different locations and a corresponding Light signal in the region of the upper and / or lower edge of the windshield produce.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Signalisierungseinrichtung ist eine Steuerungseinrichtung vorgesehen, die die von der Anzeigeeinrichtung erzeugten Lichtsignale, insbesondere im Hinblick auf deren Farbe oder Helligkeit, an die jeweilige Art des auftretenden Ereignisses und damit an die jeweilige Warn- und/oder Informationssituation anpasst. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Dringlichkeit der anzuzeigenden Information hervorzuheben, wobei ein rotes Lichtsignal eine erhöhte Dringlichkeit, ein gelbes oder ein grünes Lichtsignal eine eher geringe Dringlichkeit signalisiert. Die Dringlichkeit wird beispielsweise von einem Kollisions-Vermeidungssystem beurteilt, das über Abstandssensoren das Herannahen eines auftretenden Ereignisses, beispielsweise eines in die Fahrbahn laufenden Rehs, detektiert.at a further advantageous embodiment of the signaling device according to the invention a control device is provided, which is the one of the display device generated light signals, in particular with regard to their color or brightness, to the particular type of event occurring and thus to the respective warning and / or information situation adapts. This makes it possible for the To emphasize urgency of the information to be displayed, wherein a red light signal an increased urgency, a yellow or a green one Light signal indicates a rather low urgency. The urgency will for example, judged by a collision avoidance system, the above Distance sensors the approach of an event occurring, for example a deer running into the road, detected.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen, aus der Zeichnung und aus der zugehörigen Figurenbeschreibung anhand der Zeichnung.Further Advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims the drawing and the associated Description of the figures with reference to the drawing.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert.One preferred embodiment The invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be described in the following Description closer explained.

Die einzige Figur zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Signalisierungseinrichtung im Bereich einer Windschutzscheibe eines nicht dargestellten Kraftfahrzeugs.The single figure shows a signaling device according to the invention in the area of a windshield of a motor vehicle, not shown.

Gemäß der Figur ist in einem nur teilweise dargestellten Kraftfahrzeug 1 im Bereich eines Armaturenbretts 2 eine Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 zur Anzeige von Warn- und/oder Informationshinweisen angeordnet. Die Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 weist eine sich entlang eines unteren, im wesentlichen horizontalen Randes einer Windschutzscheibe 4 erstreckende Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 auf. Selbstverständlich ist es auch denkbar, dass die Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 zusätzlich oder alternativ an einem oberen, im Wesentlichen horizontalen Rand der Windschutzscheibe 4 angeordnet ist. Die Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 steht mit einer nicht dargestellten Detektierungseinrichtung, insbesondere einem Kollisions-Vermeidungssystem oder dergleichen, in Verbindung, wobei die Detektierungseinrichtung üblicherweise mehrere Abstandssensoren oder optische Erkennungseinrichtungen aufweist, mittels derer mögliche Hindernisse entlang der vorausliegenden Fahrtstrecke erkannt werden können.According to the figure is in a motor vehicle only partially shown 1 in the area of a dashboard 2 a signaling device 3 arranged to display warning and / or informational instructions. The signaling device 3 has a along a lower, substantially horizontal edge of a windshield 4 extending display device 5 on. Of course, it is also conceivable that the display device 5 additionally or alternatively on an upper, substantially horizontal edge of the windshield 4 is arranged. The signaling device 3 is connected to a detection device, not shown, in particular a collision avoidance system or the like, in which the detection device usually has a plurality of distance sensors or optical recognition devices, by means of which possible obstacles along the route ahead can be detected.

Grundsätzlich ist die Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 derart ausgebildet, dass diese den Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 durch einen auf der Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 erzeugten Lichtpunkt 6 auf die Richtung des auftretenden Ereignisses 7, das beispielsgemäß als ein auf die Fahrbahn springendes Reh dargestellt ist, hinweist. Selbstverständlich kann die Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 auch andere, ein Fahrverhalten des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 beeinflussende Ereignisse 7, wie beispielsweise eine Ampel oder ein Verkehrsschild, erkennen bzw. anzeigen.Basically, the signaling device 3 designed such that this the driver of the motor vehicle 1 by one on the display device 5 generated light spot 6 on the direction of the occurring event 7 , which is exemplified as a jumping on the road deer, points. Of course, the signaling device 3 others, a driving behavior of the motor vehicle 1 influencing events 7 , such as a traffic light or a traffic sign, recognize or display.

Die Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 weist vorzugsweise mehrere entlang derselben angeordnete Leuchtdioden (LEDs) zur Erzeugung des das Ereignis 7 signalisierenden Lichtpunkts 6 auf.The display device 5 preferably has a plurality along the same arranged light emitting diodes (LEDs) for generating the event 7 signaling light point 6 on.

Wie in der Figur wiedergegeben ist, betritt ein Reh von rechts kommend die Fahrbahn, woraufhin die Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 im rechten unteren Rand einen für den Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 sichtbaren Lichtpunkt 6 erzeugt und diesen auf das Ereignis 7 hinweist.As shown in the figure, a deer from the right enters the road, whereupon the signaling device 3 in the lower right one for the driver of the motor vehicle 1 visible point of light 6 generated and this on the event 7 points.

Die Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 kann derart angeordnet sein, dass die ausgesandten Lichtpunkte 6 direkt vom Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 erkannt werden können. Denkbar ist es aber auch, dass die Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 mittels der einzelnen Leuchtdioden ein auf die Windschutzscheibe 4 gerichtetes Licht aussendet, das an dieser reflektiert wird, so dass der Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 den Lichtpunkt 6 nur indirekt über die Windschutzscheibe 4 sehen kann.The display device 5 may be arranged such that the emitted light spots 6 directly from the driver of the motor vehicle 1 can be recognized. It is also conceivable that the display device 5 by means of the individual LEDs on the windshield 4 emits directional light, which is reflected at this, allowing the driver of the motor vehicle 1 the point of light 6 only indirectly through the windshield 4 able to see.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 ist zusätzlich eine nicht gezeigte Steuerungseinrichtung vorgesehen, die die erzeugten Lichtpunkte 6 an die Art des auftretenden Ereignisses 7 anpasst. Hierbei ist es denkbar, dass bei Gefahrensituationen mit hoher Dringlichkeit rote Lichtpunkte 6, und bei reinen Informationshinweisen grüne oder gelbe Lichtpunkte 6 ausgesandt werden. Ferner ist es vorstellbar, dass die erfindungsgemäße Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 die von einem separaten Assistenzsystem ermittelten Informationen auswertet und den Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 beispielsweise mit grünen, gelben und roten Lichtpunkten 6 über den Wechsel einer Ampelphase informiert. Die Steuerungseinrichtung ist in der Lage, die von der Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 erzeugten Lichtpunkte 6, insbesondere hinsichtlich deren Farbe oder Helligkeit, an die jeweilige Art des auftretenden Ereignisses 7 und damit an eine jeweils auftretende Warn- und/oder Informationssituation anzupassen.In an advantageous embodiment of the signaling device 3 In addition, a control device, not shown, is provided which the generated light spots 6 to the type of event occurring 7 adapts. In this case, it is conceivable that in the case of dangerous situations with high urgency red spots of light 6 , and in the case of pure informational notes, green or yellow points of light 6 to be sent out. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the signaling device according to the invention 3 evaluates the information determined by a separate assistance system and the driver of the motor vehicle 1 for example, with green, yellow and red points of light 6 informed about the change of a traffic light phase. The control device is capable of that of the display device 5 generated points of light 6 , in particular with regard to their color or brightness, to the respective type of event occurring 7 and thus adapt to a respective occurring warning and / or information situation.

Bei einer derartigen Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 kann ebenfalls eine nicht gezeigte Ablenkeinrichtung vorgesehen sein, die den von der Leuchtdiode erzeugten Lichtpunkt 6 derart ablenkt, dass dieser in Richtung einer zwischen dem Fahrer und dem auftretenden Ereignis 7 verlaufenden optischen Achse projiziert wird. Dies bietet den besonderen Vorteil, dass der Blick des Fahrers beim Aufleuchten des Lichtpunktes 6 unmittelbar in Richtung des auftretenden Ereignisses 7 gelenkt wird. Die Ablenkeinrichtung kann dabei eine vom Fahrer eingenommene Sitzposition erfassen und somit den Lichtpunkt 6 entsprechend der Veränderung der optischen Achse nachführen.In such a signaling device 3 can also be provided a deflector, not shown, which the light spot generated by the light emitting diode 6 so distracts that in the direction of a between the driver and the event occurring 7 extending optical axis is projected. This offers the particular advantage that the driver's gaze when the light spot lights up 6 immediately in the direction of the occurring event 7 is steered. The deflection device can detect a seated position occupied by the driver and thus the point of light 6 track according to the change of the optical axis.

Ferner ist es vorstellbar, dass die erfindungsgemäße Anzeigeeinrichtung 5 zusätzlich an einem vertikalen Seitenrand 8 der Windschutzscheibe 4 angeordnet ist und auf diese Weise außerhalb der Fahrbahn liegende Ereignisse 7 anzeigen kann.Furthermore, it is conceivable that the display device according to the invention 5 additionally on a vertical margin 8th the windshield 4 is arranged and thus lying outside the lane events 7 can show.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Signalisierungseinrichtung 3 kann auf besonders kostengünstige Weise ein effektiver Warn- und/oder Informationshinweis an den Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 übermittelt werden, der dessen Aufmerksamkeit auf ein in der nahen Zukunft liegendes Ereignis 7 lenken und dadurch die Fahrsicherheit erhöhen kann.By the signaling device according to the invention 3 can in a particularly cost effective manner an effective warning and / or information to the driver of the motor vehicle 1 that draws its attention to an event in the near future 7 steer and thereby increase driving safety.
