Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to ensure the use of the seat belts of a motor vehicle, when it is in motion, by preventing the vehicle from being fixed as long as the passengers thereof do not have properly disposed of its corresponding seat belt.
  • the device that the invention proposes fulfills its function because, in addition to requiring for the ignition of the vehicle that the driver is wearing the belt, it detects the presence in the vehicle of one or more companions and requires, for said ignition that such companions have also put their respective belts.
  • the non-use of the seat belt is generated by two different causes, sometimes due to forgetfulness and sometimes due to rejection due to discomfort that for some people involves traveling "tied".
  • the device that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the problem set forth above because, as already stated above, it does not allow the vehicle engine to be started if all the seat belts thereof, corresponding to the people located inside, are not conveniently implanted.
  • the device of the invention is embodied in a group of switches, one for each seat or armchair, and a series of load sensors, also for respective seats and armchairs, but in this case with the exception of the of the driver, it is understood that when the The vehicle is running, it will always be busy, and all of them connected, through a logic detector in the vehicle's starting circuit, so that the contact corresponding to the driver's belt interrupts the vehicle's ignition circuit itself, while that the rest of the switches are only operative in this regard when the corresponding sensors detect the presence of respective occupants.
  • the vehicle's engine does not start if its driver is not wearing a seatbelt, or if one of the passengers is not wearing it.
  • warning module with optical and / or acoustic means, that indicates at all times to the driver of the vehicle that some of the safety belts that must be in use are not being used or have been accidentally released.
  • a timer preferably adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds, which once the vehicle is in motion causes it to stop , after said timing, from the moment in which the driver or any of his companions opens his belt.
  • the said timing can be extended by the driver, by acting on a button, in any suitable magnitude, such as 1 minute more.
  • this timer circuit acts exclusively with respect to the front seats of the vehicle, that is to say those of the driver and his companion, these conditions may also be extended to the rear seats, although in the latter case it may optionally exist greater flexibility, so that when a sensor / switch is disconnected, due to the detachment of the belt, only a light and / or acoustic signal is activated on the dashboard, indicating to the driver this circumstance, but without activating the timer and, consequently, without stopping the engine.
  • Figure 1 Shows a schematic representation in plan of a five-seater vehicle in which, also schematically, the corresponding load switches and sensors have been represented. different seats or seats.
  • Figure 2. Shows a block diagram corresponding to the safety device as a whole duly implanted in the vehicle's ignition circuit.
  • switches (1 ') are set in correspondence with each of the seats of the vehicle, with the particularity that these seats or seats (3) and (4) have respective load sensors (5), located under the seat and duly set to disable the switches (1 ') when said seats are empty, so that the system is inoperative for those seats that are not being used at any given time.
  • switches (1-1 ') provide information, regarding the situation in which the respective safety belts are, to a logic detector (6) or to any equivalent electronic element, which receives the vehicle's battery voltage, the 12 volt classic, and transmits it or not to the ignition switch (7) of the vehicle, operable by the classic ignition key.
  • the vehicle's engine cannot be started while some of the switches (1-1 ') are open, that is to say while the driver and his occupants are not wearing the seat belt, but also the circuit may incorporate a timer (8) that, once the vehicle is in operation and in the event of activation of one of such switches (1-1 ') for opening the driver's belt or any of its companions, causes the vehicle engine to stop after said timing without the switch or the open switches having been closed again
  • the logic detector (6) also sends information to a group of optical and / or acoustic signaling devices (9), indicating that one or more belts that should be properly implanted on the body of the respective passengers, are not.
  • the circuit has an emergency switch
  • Both the logic detector (6) and the timer (8) will be arranged on the dashboard of the vehicle, while the emergency switch (10) will be placed under the hood of the vehicle, so that said switch is not directly available to the driver from the passenger compartment, lending itself to its use outside the emergency situation for which it was intended.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif visant à garantir l'utilisation des ceintures de sécurité à bord d'un véhicule automobile. Ce dispositif comprend un interrupteur (1) situé sur le siège du conducteur, permettant, moyennant un détecteur logique (6), de couper l'alimentation de l'interrupteur (7) d'allumage du moteur du véhicule si le conducteur n'a pas mis sa ceinture de sécurité et, ainsi, d'empêcher le moteur de fonctionner. Parallèlement, chacun des sièges du véhicule est équipé d'un interrupteur (1') qui est également actionné par une ceinture de sécurité correspondante, empêchant l'allumage du véhicule. Cependant, ces interrupteurs (1') sont reliés à des capteurs de charge (5) respectifs, situés sous chacun des sièges, permettant de désactiver les interrupteurs (1') situés sous les sièges vides.
