Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen kapazitiven Näherungssensor gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The The invention relates to a capacitive proximity sensor according to the Preamble of claim 1.
Solche Sensoren sind an sich bekannt und werden im Kraftfahrzeugbau eingesetzt, um bei elektromotorisch angetriebenen Vorrichtungen z. B. Schutzfunktionen zu bewirken. Diese Vorrichtungen sind z. B. Fenster, Türen, falt- oder klappbare Dächer. Die bekannten Sensoren weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass sie einen einzelnen Wassertropfen nicht von einem kleinen Gegenstand oder Körperteil unterscheiden können. Hierdurch kann es zu solchen Fehlfunktionen kommen, dass sich die Vorrichtung bei Vorhandensein von einzelnen Tropfen nicht ordnungsgemäß schließen lässt. Dies kann insbesondere bei Cabrio-Dächern ärgerlich sein.Such Sensors are known per se and are used in motor vehicle construction, in order for electric motor driven devices z. B. Protection functions to effect. These devices are z. Windows, doors, folding or folding roofs. The known sensors have however, they have the disadvantage of being a single drop of water do not differ from a small object or body part can. This can lead to such malfunctions that the device in the presence of single drops does not close properly. This can be annoying, especially with convertible roofs be.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen kapazitiven Näherungssensor zu schaffen, der in der Lage ist, Wassertropfen von kleinen Objekten, die nicht eingeklemmt werden sollen oder dürfen, zu unterscheiden.task The invention is a capacitive proximity sensor able to create drops of water from small objects, which should not or should not be pinched.
Die Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die Größe der Elektroden beträgt 1 mm bis 20 mm und der gegenseitige Abstand der Elektroden ist kleiner als 10 mm. Hierdurch werden Objekte einschließlich Wassertropfen sicher erfasst. Durch den geringen Abstand der Elektroden ist eine Größe der Objekte erfassbar, so dass hieraus auf deren Qualität geschlossen werden kann. Auf diese Weise können Wassertropfen von anderen Objekten unterschieden werden. Als Größe ist hier eine maximale Ausdehnung, z. B. eine Länge, ein Durchmesser oder eine Diagonale definiert.The The object is solved by the features of claim 1. The size of the electrodes is 1 mm to 20 mm and the mutual distance of the electrodes is smaller than 10 mm. This will cause objects including drops of water safely detected. Due to the small distance of the electrodes is a size of the objects detectable, so that on their quality can be closed. In this way, water droplets can be differentiated from other objects. As a size here is a maximum extent, z. As a length, a Diameter or diagonal defined.
Kammartige oder kreisscheibenförmige Elektroden sind einfach herstellbar und können an die jeweiligen örtlichen Verhältnisse angepasst werden.comb-like or circular-shaped electrodes are easy to produce and can be adapted to local conditions be adjusted.
Bei einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Elektroden in einer Ebene des Trägers von einer Abschirmsonde umgeben, das heißt, die Elektroden und die Abschirmsonde sind in einer Ebene auf dem Träger angeordnet. Hierdurch werden Störeinflüsse vermindert.at an alternative embodiment of the invention are the electrodes surrounded in a plane of the carrier by a shielding probe, that is, the electrodes and shielding probe are in a plane arranged on the carrier. This will be Interference reduced.
Bevorzugt werden Daten über geometrisch bedingte Kapazitätsänderungen in einer Auswertevorrichtung gespeichert. Hierdurch werden aufgrund von z. B. Besonderheiten des Kraftfahrzeugs vorhersehbare Störungen beim Betätigen der Vorrichtungen vermieden.Prefers become data about geometrically caused capacity changes stored in an evaluation device. This will be due to z. B. Special features of the motor vehicle predictable disturbances avoided when operating the devices.
Wenn ein Multiplexer eine Einteilung in Auswertegruppen erlaubt, wird die Auswertung beschleunigt.If a multiplexer is allowed to be divided into evaluation groups the evaluation accelerates.
Anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert.Based In the accompanying drawings, the invention will be described below explained in more detail.
