Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Fahrtrichtungsanzeige für Kraftfahrzeuge nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The Invention relates to a device for indicating the direction of travel for motor vehicles after the preamble of claim 1.
Durch
die
Bei modernen Kraftfahrzeugen ist durch eine Betätigungshandlung an einer Betätigungsvorrichtung jedoch nicht nur linkes oder rechtes Dauerblinken einstellbar, sondern es ist auch vorgesehen, dass durch eine andere Betätigungshandlung auch linkes oder rechtes Kurzblinken einstellbar ist. Kurzblinken bedeutet, dass die Blinkleuchten nur eine vorgegebene Anzahl von Blinkimpulsen (ein bis drei) abgeben. Beim Dauerblinken hingegen werden die Blinkleuchten dauerhaft aktiviert. Sie stellen sich erst nach bestimmten Lenkmanövern selbsttätig aus oder müssen manuell mittels der Betätigungsvorrichtung abgestellt werden. An der Betätigungsvorrichtung selbst ist oft nicht eindeutig und ohne Ablenkung des Fahrers ablesbar, welche Art des Blinkens eingestellt wurde. Optische und akustische Signale sind unabhängig von der Art des aktivierten Blinkvorgangs gleich. Ist der Fahrer nun im Irrtum über die Art des aktivierten Blinkens, kann es zu Fehlbedienungen kommen, was zu Verkehrsirritationen führt. Beispielsweise könnte an Stelle des Abstellens eines (vom Fahrer falsch vermuteten) Dauerblinkens das Aktivieren eines entgegengesetzten Blinkvorgangs vorgenommen werden, wenn tatsächlich nur ein Kurzblinken eingestellt war.at modern motor vehicles is due to an actuation action on an actuation device not only adjustable left or right continuous flashing, but it is also contemplated that by some other act of actuation left or right short flashing is also adjustable. short flashing means that the direction indicators are only a predetermined number of Give flashing pulses (one to three). However, when flashing continuously the direction indicators are activated permanently. They only pretend certain steering maneuvers automatic out or must manually turned off by the actuator become. On the actuator itself is often not clear and can not be read without distracting the driver, what type of flashing has been set. Optical and acoustic Signals are independent the type of flashing activated. Is the driver now mistaken about the type of flashing activated, incorrect operation can occur, which leads to traffic irritation. For example instead of stopping flashing (incorrectly assumed by the driver) activated the opposite blinking be when actually only a short flash was set.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, mit geringem Aufwand eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die Verkehrsirritationen vermeidet und dem Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs ablenkungsfrei einen klaren Rückschluss darüber gibt, welche der möglichen Arten des Blinkens er aktiviert hat.It is therefore an object of the invention, a device with little effort of the type mentioned at the beginning to create traffic irritation avoids and the driver of the motor vehicle a distraction-free clear conclusion about that gives which of the possible Types of blinking he has activated.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 Mittel zur Abgabe verschiedener, sich voneinander unterscheidender akustischer Signale aufweist, die in Abhängigkeit davon abgegeben werden, welche Blinkfunktion mittels der Betätigungsvorrichtung aktiviert wurde.According to the invention Task solved by that the device according to the preamble of claim 1 means to emit different, different acoustic signals which is dependent of which flashing function are emitted by means of the actuating device was activated.
Von Vorteil ist nun, dass der Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs sofort nach Einstellen einer Blinkfunktion nicht nur eine eindeutige Rückmeldung darüber bekommt, dass eine Blinkfunktion aktiviert wurde, sondern auch darüber, welche Blinkfunktion aktiv ist. Dadurch sind Folge-Fehlbedienungen und somit Verkehrsirritationen vermeidbar. Diese Lösung des Problems erfordert einen sehr geringen Aufwand, da Blinkgeräusche (die akustischen Signale) in modernen Kraftfahrzeugen bereits elektronisch erzeugt werden und somit nur modifiziert werden müssen.Of The advantage is now that the driver of the motor vehicle immediately after Setting a flashing function is not just a clear feedback about that a flashing function has been activated, but also about which one Flashing function is active. This results in incorrect operation and thus traffic irritation can be avoided. This requires solving the problem very little effort, because blinking noises (the acoustic signals) are already generated electronically in modern motor vehicles and therefore only need to be modified.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist, wenn das Dauerblinken, wie an sich bekannt, durch ein aussetzendes Blinkgeräusch und das Kurzblinken davon abweichend akustisch signalisiert wird. Dabei könnte sich das Kurzblinken signalisierende akustische Signal einerseits in der Blinktonfrequenz (Dauer eines Pulses: Ton und Aussetzen oder Verhältnis der Dauer zwischen Ton und Aussetzen) und/oder andererseits in der Tonfrequenz vom Dauerblinken signalisierenden Signal unterscheiden. Die Blinktonfrequenz sollte beispielsweise deutlich höher beim Kurzblinken, als beim Dauerblinken sein. Dies würde auf einen schneller ablaufenden Vorgang, der das Kurzblinken ja ist, hinweisen.Of It is particularly advantageous if the continuous flashing, as is known per se, by an intermittent flashing sound and the short flashing is signaled differently acoustically. This could be the short flash signaling acoustic signal on the one hand in the flashing tone frequency (duration of a pulse: tone and pause or relationship the duration between sound and exposure) and / or on the other hand in the Distinguish the tone frequency from the signal that signals continuous flashing. The flash tone frequency should, for example, be significantly higher when Flashing briefly than when flashing continuously. This would result in a faster expiration Indicate the process, which is the short flashing yes.

Bei anderer Ausführung der Erfindung könnte auch die Tonfrequenz selbst in Abhängigkeit von der aktivierten Blinkfunktion variiert werden, oder es könnte ein ganz anderes Tonmuster gewählt werden. Diese Ton-Signalvariationen sind zur Erreichung des gewünschten Unterscheidungseffektes auch miteinander kombinierbar.at other version of the invention also the tone frequency itself depending on the activated Blinking function can be varied, or it could be a completely different sound pattern chosen become. These tone signal variations are to achieve the desired one Differentiation effect can also be combined.
