Kraftfahrzeug mit Blinkleuchten unterschiedlicher Blinkfrequenz
5Motor vehicle with flashing lights of different flashing frequencies
5
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftfahrzeug, welches mit einer Blinkanlage ausgestattet ist, deren Signalleuchten in Abhängigkeit davon, ob ein Richtungsblinken oder ein Warnblinken signalisiert werden soll, mit unterschiedlicher Frequenz aufleuchten.The invention relates to a motor vehicle which is equipped with a flashing system whose signal lights light up at different frequencies depending on whether a direction indicator or a hazard indicator is to be signaled.
Des weiteren ermöglicht die Erfindung ein Richtungsblinken an der einen Seite bei gleichzeitigem Warnblinken an der anderen Seite, beispielsweise im Falle des beabsichtigten Richtungswechsels eines im Abschleppzustand befindlichen Kraftfahrzeuges.Furthermore, the invention enables direction indicators to be activated on one side while simultaneously activating hazard warning lights on the other side, for example in the event of an intended change of direction of a motor vehicle that is being towed.
Bekannt sind Kraftfahrzeuge, die mit Warnblinkanlagen
ausgestattet sind, die in solchen Fällen vom Fahrzeugführer eingeschaltet werden, in denen der
nachfolgende oder entgegenkommende Fahrzeugverkehr über den vom normalen Verkehrsverhalten abweichenden
Betrieb des auf sich aufmerksam machenden Fahrzeuges in Kenntnis gesetzt wird.
Derartige Warnblinkanlagen sind in die der Richtungsanzeige dienenden vorderen, hinteren, manchmal
auch seitlich angeordneten Blinkleuchten in der Weise integriert, daß sich der Betrieb der Warnblinkanlage
vom Betrieb der Richtungsanzeige lediglich dadurch unterscheidet, daß beim Warnblinksignal
jeweils beide der vorderen und hinteren und beim Richtungsblinken die jeweils linken oder rechten der
vorderen und hinteren Blinkleuchten aufleuchten. Die Frequenz des Blinkens der Richtungsanzeige und
des Warnblinkens ist dabei jeweils die gleiche.Motor vehicles are known to be equipped with hazard warning lights which are switched on by the driver in such cases in which following or oncoming traffic is informed that the operation of the vehicle drawing attention to itself deviates from normal traffic behaviour.
Such hazard warning systems are integrated into the front, rear and sometimes side-mounted indicator lights used to indicate the direction in such a way that the operation of the hazard warning system differs from the operation of the direction indicator only in that both the front and rear indicator lights light up when the hazard warning signal is activated, and the left or right of the front and rear indicator lights light up when the direction indicator is activated. The frequency of the direction indicator and the hazard warning lights flashing is always the same.
Der Nachteil dieser identischen Frequenzen besteht nun darin, daß das Warnblinken als solches nicht er-The disadvantage of these identical frequencies is that the hazard warning lights as such are not
kannt wird, wenn eine der beiden jeweils an der Vorder- oder Hinterseite eines Fahrzeuges angeordneten Blinkleuchten durch ein anderes Fahrzeug verdeckt ist,is detected when one of the two indicators located at the front or rear of a vehicle is obscured by another vehicle,
Dieser Nachteil des derzeitigen Standes der Technik führt insofern zu mißverständlichen Verkehrssituationen, als das Warnblinken dann oft als Fahrtrichtungsanzeige fehlgedeutet wird. So kann ein solches Mißverständnis beispielsweise die Ursache dafür sein, daß Überholvorgänge nicht ausgeführt werden,. weil ein Ausscheren des blinkenden Fahrzeuges ancjenommen wird.This disadvantage of the current state of technology leads to misunderstandings in traffic situations, as the hazard warning lights are often misinterpreted as direction indicators. Such a misunderstanding can, for example, be the reason why overtaking maneuvers are not carried out, because it is assumed that the vehicle flashing the lights is pulling out.
Bekannt sind weiterhin technische Lösungen für Warnblinkanlagen mit einem Doppelblinkimpuls, deren Wahrnehmbarkeit insbesondere bei schlechten Witterungs- bzw. Sichtverhältnissen zwar deutlich gesteigert werden konnte, deren Nachteil allerdings darin besteht, daß beim Abschleppen eines einen Doppelblinkimpuls ausstrahlenden Fahrzeuges eine gleichzeitige Richtungsanzeige nicht möglich ist.Technical solutions for hazard warning systems with a double flashing pulse are also known, the perceptibility of which could be significantly increased, particularly in poor weather or visibility conditions, but the disadvantage of which is that when towing a vehicle emitting a double flashing pulse, a simultaneous direction indication is not possible.
Das Wesen der Erfindung besteht nun darin, daß ein Kraftfahrzeug mit Blinkleuchten unterschiedlicher Blinkfrequenz entwickelt wurde, bei dem die Bauelemente zum Betreiben der Blinkleuchten so angeordnet sind daß die vier an der rechten und linken Vorder- und Hinterseite des Kraftfahrzeuges angeordneten Signallampen - von denen die jeweils rechts- bzw. linksseitig angeordneten parallelgeschaltet sind einen Doppelblinkimpuls abgeben, wahlweise aber auch die Abgabe eines einfachen Blinkimpulses für jeweils ein Paar der parallelgeschalteten Signallampen möglich ist.The essence of the invention is that a motor vehicle with indicator lights with different flashing frequencies has been developed, in which the components for operating the indicator lights are arranged in such a way that the four signal lamps arranged on the right and left front and rear of the motor vehicle - of which those arranged on the right and left sides are connected in parallel - emit a double flashing pulse, but optionally the emission of a single flashing pulse is also possible for each pair of the parallel-connected signal lamps.
Dementsprechend ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die elektrischen Bauelemente im Kraft-Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention to improve the electrical components in the power
fahrzeug so anzuordnen, daß ein Blinken in der Weise möglich wird, daß das Richtungsblinken bei nicht eingeschalteter Warnblinkanlage weiterhin in der bisher bekannten Art erfolgt, darüber hinaus jedoch die gleichen, im Kraftfahrzeug vorhandenen Blinkleuchten genutzt werden, um den anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern durch eine abweichende Frequenz sowie ein in Intervallen erfolgendes Doppelblinken ein Warnblinken zu signalisieren.vehicle in such a way that it is possible to flash in such a way that the direction indicators continue to be used in the usual way when the hazard warning lights are not switched on, but in addition the same flashing lights present in the vehicle are used to signal hazard warning lights to other road users by means of a different frequency and double flashing at intervals.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es weiterhin, daß diese Art des Warnblinkens auch dann beibehalten werden kann, wenn, beispielsweise bei einem Abschleppvorgang, das jeweilige Paar der vorderen und hinteren Lampe zur Anzeige der beabsichtigten Fahrtrichtungsänderung genutzt wird, indem die vordere und hintere Blinkeinrichtung jeweils an der rechten oder linken Seite des Fahrzeuges im Blinkrhythmus aufleuchtet. The object of the invention is further that this type of hazard warning flashing can be retained even if, for example during a towing operation, the respective pair of front and rear lamps is used to indicate the intended change in direction by the front and rear flashing devices on the right or left side of the vehicle lighting up in a flashing rhythm.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß der Frequenzgenerator mit einem Logikteil elektrisch verbunden ist, welches den Blinkleuchten einundderselben Seite drei verschiedene Blinkfrequenzen zuordnet. Das Logikteil seinerseits steht elektrisch jeweils mit den beiden die rechte oder linke Blinkrichtung signalisierenden Blinkschaltern und einem Warnblinkschalter in der Weise in Kontakt, daß sowohl die beiden das jeweilige Erkennen der rechten oder linken defekten Glühlampe gewährleistenden Lastkontrollen, als auch jeweils eine rechte und linke Schaltstufe sowie ein alle elektrischen Impulse verarbeitender Umschalter zwischengeschaltet sind.According to the invention, this is achieved in that the frequency generator is electrically connected to a logic part, which assigns three different flashing frequencies to the indicator lights on one and the same side. The logic part, in turn, is electrically connected to the two indicator switches that signal the right or left flashing direction and to a hazard warning switch in such a way that both the two load controls that ensure the respective detection of the right or left defective bulb, as well as a right and left switching stage and a changeover switch that processes all electrical impulses are interposed.
Nachfolgend soll das erfindungsgemäße Kraftfahrzeug mit Blinkleuchten unterschiedlicher BlinkfrequenzThe motor vehicle according to the invention is then to be equipped with flashing lights of different flashing frequencies

anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert werden:will be explained in more detail using an example:
Die Abbildung zeigt die Anordnung der Bauelemente einer Blinkanlage für Kraftfahrzeuge, bestehend aus dem Frequenzgenerator 1, der mit dem Logikteil 2 elektrisch verbunden ist und der den Blinkleuchten drei verschiedene Blinkfrequenzen zuordnet. Anderseits steht das Logikteil 2 elektrisch jeweils mit den beiden die rechte oder linke Blinkrichtung signalisierenden Blinkschaltern 4 und einem Warnblinkschalter 5 in Kontakt. Zwei das jeweilige Erkennen der rechten oder linken defekten Glühlampe 3 gewährleistende Lastkontrollen 6,7, eine rechte und linke Schaltstufe 8,9 sowie ein alle elektrischen Impulse verarbeitender Umschalter 10 sind zwischengeschaltet .The illustration shows the arrangement of the components of a flashing system for motor vehicles, consisting of the frequency generator 1, which is electrically connected to the logic part 2 and which assigns three different flashing frequencies to the flashing lights. On the other hand, the logic part 2 is electrically connected to the two flashing switches 4, which signal the right or left flashing direction, and a hazard warning switch 5. Two load controls 6,7, which ensure the respective detection of the right or left defective bulb 3, a right and left switching stage 8,9 and a changeover switch 10, which processes all electrical impulses, are connected in between.
