Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Innenrück spiegel für Kraftfahrzeuge mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 genannten Merkmalen.The invention relates to an inner back mirrors for motor vehicles with the in the preamble of Features mentioned claim 1.
Spiegel dieser Art sind beispielsweise aus DE 35 30 198 A1 bekannt. Um die Fahrsicherheit zu erhöhen, wird ein Innenrückspiegel bei Blinkerbetätigung aus einer Normalstellung in eine (je nach Blinksignal) zur Seite verschwenkte Stellung überführt. So ist es möglich, vor Abbiege- oder Spurwechselvorgängen komfortabel den soge nannten Totwinkelbereich auf der Straße zu beobachten. Ein derartiges System ist auch aus DE 39 26 560 A1 für einen Außenspiegel bekannt.Mirrors of this type are, for example, from DE 35 30 198 A1 known. To increase driving safety, an interior rear-view mirror is turned from a Normal position in one (depending on the flashing signal) to the side transferred pivoted position. So it is possible before Turning or changing lanes comfortably the so-called called blind spot on the road. Such a system is also known from DE 39 26 560 A1 known an outside mirror.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, den Komfort für einen Fahrzeugführer zusätzlich mit geringem Aufwand zu verbessern, wobei insbesondere eine problemlose Beobach tung der Insassen auf Fahrzeugrücksitzen möglich sein soll.It is an object of the invention to provide comfort for an additional driver with little effort improve, in particular a problem-free observation the occupants in the rear of the vehicle should.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe zeichnet sich der er findungsgemäße Innenrückspiegel durch die im Patentan spruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale aus. Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Patentansprüchen 2-7. To solve this task, he excels interior rear view mirror according to the invention in the patent pronounced 1 characteristics. more details the invention result from the claims 2-7.
Ein elektromotorisch verstellbarer Innenrück spiegel ist nach Betätigung eines Schaltelementes automa tisch in eine Zusatzstellung zur Beobachtung der Fahr zeuginsassen auf den Fahrzeugrücksitzen verstellbar. So können beispielsweise Eltern ihre Kinder oder Taxifahrer ihre Insassen problemlos beobachten, ohne den Innenrück spiegel aufwendig von Hand in die gewünschte Position überführen zu müssen.An inner back adjustable by an electric motor mirror is automa after actuation of a switching element table in an additional position to observe the driving Vehicle occupants adjustable on the rear seats. So For example, parents can have their children or taxi drivers watch their occupants easily without the inside back mirror by hand in the desired position to have to convict.
Von Vorteil ist, wenn ausschließlich ein Tast kontakt betätigt werden muss, der insbesondere gut er reichbar am Spiegelgehäuse angeordnet ist. Der Spiegel wird bei Betätigung des Tastkontaktes in die Zusatzstel lung verschwenkt und verweilt in dieser für eine be stimmte Zeit oder so lange, wie der Tastkontakt betätigt wird. Danach verstellt er sich selbsttätig elektromoto risch zurück in seine Normalstellung. Der Fahrer wird so entlastet und nur geringfügig vom Verkehrsgeschehen abge lenkt.It is advantageous if only one key contact must be actuated, which is particularly good is arranged on the mirror housing. The mirror is in the additional position when the push button is pressed lung pivots and lingers in it for one movement right time or as long as the tactile contact is pressed becomes. Then it automatically adjusts itself electromoto back to its normal position. The driver is like that relieved and only slightly distanced from the traffic situation directs.
Von Vorteil ist zusätzlich, wenn eine Dimmung des Innenrückspiegels aufgehoben und eine Beleuchtung des hinteren Insassenraumes eingeschaltet wird, solange sich der Innenrückspiegel in der genannten Zusatzstellung be findet. So wird eine sehr gute Sicht zu den hinteren Fahrzeuginsassen gewährleistet, ohne dass der Fahrer auf wendige Betätigungshandlungen ausführen muss.It is also an advantage if dimming of the interior rearview mirror and an illumination of the rear passenger compartment is turned on as long as the interior rear-view mirror be in the additional position mentioned finds. So a very good view to the rear Vehicle occupants ensured without the driver being on must perform agile operations.
Details der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der fol genden kurzen Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels. Die zugehörige Figur zeigt einen gemäß der Erfindung ge stalteten Innenrückspiegel eines Kraftfahrzeugs und Be reiche eines Fahrzeuginnenraumes. Details of the invention emerge from the fol brief description of an embodiment. The associated figure shows a ge according to the invention designed interior rear view mirror of a motor vehicle and Be range of a vehicle interior.
Ein Innenrückspiegel 1 ist im oberen Bereich einer Windschutzscheibe bzw. am Fahrzeughimmel, wie be kannt, befestigt. Er ist elektromotorisch einstellbar, wobei die dazu nötigen Mittel nicht in der Zeichnung ver deutlicht sind.An interior rear-view mirror 1 is fixed in the upper area of a windshield or on the vehicle headlining, as is known. It is adjustable by an electric motor, the means required for this are not shown in the drawing.
Am unteren Rand des Spiegels 1 befindet sich ein Schalter 2, durch dessen Betätigung der Spiegel 1 dimmbar ist. Der Schalter 2 ist mit einem Taster 3 kombi niert. Der Taster 3 gibt bei Betätigung Steuersignale an eine Steuerung der Spiegelverstellmotorik ab. Diese liest aus einem Speicher Einstelldaten für eine von einer Nor malstellung des Spiegels 1 abweichende Zusatzstellung aus und steuert die Verstellmotorik so an, dass die Zusatz stellung eingestellt wird. In der Normalstellung ist der Spiegel 1 üblicherweise so ausgerichtet, dass durch ein Heckfenster die Straße hinter dem Fahrzeug beobachtet werden kann. In dieser Normalstellung sind von Insassen auf den Rücksitzen des Fahrzeugs nur dann die Köpfe und die Schulterbereiche im Spiegel 1 zu sehen, wenn die Per sonen relativ groß sind.At the lower edge of the mirror 1 there is a switch 2 , by means of which the mirror 1 can be dimmed. The switch 2 is combined with a button 3 . When actuated, the button 3 emits control signals to a controller of the mirror adjustment motor system. This reads setting data from a memory for an additional position deviating from a normal position of the mirror 1 and controls the adjusting motor in such a way that the additional position is set. In the normal position, the mirror 1 is usually oriented so that the road behind the vehicle can be observed through a rear window. In this normal position, occupants in the rear seats of the vehicle can only see the heads and shoulder areas in the mirror 1 when the people are relatively large.
In der Zusatzstellung wird der Spiegel 1 jedoch nach unten und eventuell auch etwas zur Mitte hin ver schwenkt, so dass ein maximaler Einblick in den hinteren Sitzbereich genommen werden kann.In the additional position, however, the mirror 1 is pivoted down and possibly also a little towards the center, so that a maximum view of the rear seating area can be taken.
Der Sichtbereich in der Normalstellung des Spiegels 1 ist in der Zeichnung durch gestrichelte Linien 4 verdeutlicht und in der Zusatzstellung etwa durch die strichpunktierten Linien 5 begrenzt.The field of view in the normal position of the mirror 1 is illustrated in the drawing by dashed lines 4 and in the additional position is limited by the dash-dotted lines 5 .
Nach Betätigen des Tasters 3 bleibt der Spiegel 1 entweder für eine festgelegte Zeit in der Zusatzstel lung, um dann selbsttätig wieder in die vorherige Normal stellung zu verschwenken, oder der Spiegel 1 verweilt so lange in der Zusatzstellung wie der Taster 3 gedrückt gehalten wird.After pressing the button 3 , the mirror 1 either remains in the additional position for a defined time, in order to then automatically pivot back into the previous normal position, or the mirror 1 remains in the additional position as long as the button 3 is held down.
Falls der Spiegel 1 bei Betätigung des Tasters 3 gedimmt ist, wird diese Dimmung selbsttätig so lange ausgeschaltet, wie sich der Spiegel 1 in der Zusatzstel lung befindet. Gleichzeitig können auch in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Beleuchtungsmittel für den hinteren Insassenraum eingeschaltet werden, solange der Spiegel 1 die Zusatzstellung einnimmt. Dies sollte nur dann erfol gen, wenn Fahrzeugscheinwerfer eingeschaltet sind oder wenn ein sich beispielsweise auf der Armaturentafel 6 be findlicher Sonnensensor Dunkelheit sensiert.If the mirror 1 is dimmed when the button 3 is pressed, this dimming is automatically switched off as long as the mirror 1 is in the additional position. At the same time, lighting means for the rear passenger compartment, not shown, can also be switched on, as long as the mirror 1 assumes the additional position. This should only be successful if vehicle headlights are switched on or if a sun sensor, for example on the dashboard 6, senses darkness.
