Abstract

The monitoring circuit for motor vehicle rear (4) wheel and brake (3) lights has the changes in luminosity sensed by a monitor, with defects signaled (2). If only one brake or rear light is defective, if the rear light fails, the brake light is dimmed (5) to take over its function and it continues its own function. If more than one brake or rear light malfunctions, such as both rear lights fail, the brake lights take over.

BeschreibungDescription

Vorrichtung zur Überwachung und Reglung der Brems- und Rücklichter von Kraftfahrzeugen.Device for monitoring and controlling the brake and tail lights of motor vehicles.

In heutigen Fahrzeugen sind nur Signalisierungsvorrichtungen installiert, die den Defekt von Leuchtmitteln anzeigen.In today's vehicles, only signaling devices are installed that indicate the defect of lamps.

Der im Schutzanspruch angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Rück-Bremslichteinheit zu schaffen, die in der Lage ist, defekte Leuchtmittel nicht nur zu signalisieren, sondern zu kompensieren.The invention specified in the protection claim is based on the problem of creating a rear brake light unit which is able not only to signal defective lamps but also to compensate for them.

Dieses Problem wird mit den im Schutzanspruch aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim.

Das Fahrzeugheck ist auch dann beleuchtet, wenn alle Rücklichter ausgefallen sind. Ein Bremsvorgang wird auch dann dem nachfolgenden Verkehr signalisiert, wenn alle Bremslichter ausgefallen sind.The rear of the vehicle is illuminated even if all tail lights have failed. Braking is signaled to following traffic even if all brake lights have failed.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel wird anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. Sie zeigt alle nötigen Komponenten als Blockschaltbilder.An example of implementation is explained using the drawing. It shows all the necessary components as block diagrams.

Claims (2)

1. Vorrichtung zur Überwachung und Reglung der Brems- und Rücklichter von Kraftfahrzeugen, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Glimmwendel der Leuchtmittel während ihres Betriebs überwacht (1) werden. Der Defekt eines oder mehrerer Glimmwendel signalisiert (2) wird und - wenn nur ein Brems- und Rücklicht (3, 4) vorhanden ist, im Defektfall des Rücklichtes (4), das Bremslicht (3) derart gedimmt eingeschaltet (5) wird, so dass es die Funktion des Rücklichtes (4) übernimmt. Die Funktion des Bremslichtes (3) bleibt erhalten. - wenn mehr als ein Brems- und Rücklicht (3, 4) vorhanden ist, erst bei Defekt aller Rücklichter (4), die Bremslichter (3) derart gedimmt eingeschaltet (5) werden, so dass sie die Funktion der Rücklichter (4) übernehmen. Die Funktion der Bremslichter (3) bleiben erhalten. 1. Device for monitoring and controlling the brake and tail lights of motor vehicles, characterized in that the glow coils of the lamps are monitored during their operation ( 1 ). The defect of one or more glow coils is signaled ( 2 ) and - if only one brake and tail light ( 3 , 4 ) is present, in the event of a defect in the tail light ( 4 ), the brake light ( 3 ) is switched on ( 5 ) in a dimmed state so that it takes over the function of the tail light ( 4 ). The function of the brake light ( 3 ) is retained. - if there is more than one brake and tail light ( 3 , 4 ), only if all tail lights ( 4 ) are defective, the brake lights ( 3 ) are switched on ( 5 ) in a dimmed state so that they take over the function of the tail lights ( 4 ). The function of the brake lights ( 3 ) is retained. 2. Überwachung und Regelung nach Schutzanspruch 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, - dass wenn nur ein Brems- und Rücklicht (3, 4) vorhanden ist, im Defektfall des Bremslichtes (3), das Rücklicht (4) zu blinken beginnt (6), solange die Bremse (7) betätigt wird. Nach der Bremslichtsimulation (8) kehrt das Rücklicht (4) in seinen vorherigen Zustand zurück (an oder aus). - wenn mehr als ein Brems- und Rücklicht (3, 4) vorhanden ist, erst bei Defekt aller Bremslichter (3), die Rücklichter (4) zu blinken beginnen (6), solange die Bremse (7) betätigt wird. Nach der Bremslichtsimulation (8) kehren die Rücklichter (4) in ihren vorherigen Zustand zurück (an oder aus). 2. Monitoring and control according to claim 1, characterized in that - that if only one brake and tail light ( 3 , 4 ) is present, in the event of a defect in the brake light ( 3 ), the tail light ( 4 ) begins to flash ( 6 ) as long as the brake ( 7 ) is applied. After the brake light simulation ( 8 ), the tail light ( 4 ) returns to its previous state (on or off). - if there is more than one brake and tail light ( 3 , 4 ), only if all brake lights ( 3 ) are defective do the tail lights ( 4 ) start to flash ( 6 ) as long as the brake ( 7 ) is applied. After the brake light simulation ( 8 ), the tail lights ( 4 ) return to their previous state (on or off).
