Fahrpedaleinheit mit Aktor, Steuereinheit und Positionssensor Accelerator pedal unit with actuator, control unit and position sensor

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrpedaleinheit gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. dabei weist Fahrpedaleinheit einen auf das Fahrpedal einwirkenden Aktor und eine Steuereinheit zur Ansteuerung des Aktors auf. Zudem ist zumindest ein, vorzugsweise auch mehrere zumindest teilweise redundante Positionssensoren vorgesehen, deren Signal einerseits in der Steuereinheit zur Ansteuerung des Aktors berücksichtigt wird, zusätzlich aber auch insbesondere für die zentrale Motorsteuerung im Kraftfahrzeug.The invention relates to an accelerator pedal unit according to the preamble of claim 1. Accelerator pedal unit has an actuator acting on the accelerator pedal and a control unit for controlling the actuator. In addition, at least one, preferably also a plurality of at least partially redundant position sensors is provided, whose signal is taken into account on the one hand in the control unit for controlling the actuator, but also in particular for the central engine control in the motor vehicle.

An die beiden redundanten Signale der beiden Sensorelemente werden dabei zu Auswerte- und Diagnosezwecken in der Regel sehr hohe Genauigkeitsanforderungen, beispielsweise bezüglich Messwert, Gleichlauf und Beziehung der beiden Signale zueinander gestellt. To the two redundant signals of the two sensor elements are for evaluation and diagnostic purposes usually very high accuracy requirements, for example, with respect to measured value, synchronization and relationship of the two signals to each other.

Daher kann es nachteilig sein, eine der zur zentralen Motorsteuerung gehenden Signalleitungen, die jeweils mit einem Sensorelement verbunden sind, auch mit der Pedalsteuerung zu verbinden, da die Pedalsteuerung in der Regel mit einer anderen Spannungsversorgung und mit einer anderen Masseanbindung arbeitet und es so zu Signalversätzen, beispielsweise aufgrund eines Masseversatzes kommen kann und somit Gleichlaufanforderungen nicht mehr erfüllt werden können.  Therefore, it may be disadvantageous to also connect one of the central motor control signal lines, which are each connected to a sensor element, with the pedal control, since the pedal control usually works with a different power supply and with another ground connection and it thus signal offsets , For example, due to a mass offset can occur and thus synchronization requirements can no longer be met.

Daher ist beispielsweise aus der DE 102012220383 A1 eine solche Fahrpedaleinheit zu entnehmen, wobei dort 2 Pedalstellungssensoren vorgesehen sind, welche als Hallsensoren ausgeführt und auf einer gemeinsamen Platine angeordnet sind und jeweils einen am Pedalhebel befestigten Magneten gemeinsam erfassen. Die Pedalsteuerung ist dabei baulich getrennt von der gemeinsamen Positionssensoreinheit und über Signalleitungen mit dieser verbunden.  Therefore, for example, from DE 102012220383 A1 such an accelerator pedal unit can be seen, there 2 pedal position sensors are provided, which are designed as Hall sensors and arranged on a common board and each detect a magnet attached to the pedal lever together. The pedal control is structurally separated from the common position sensor unit and connected via signal lines with this.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine sichere, einfach aufgebaute und kostengünstige Fahrpedaleinheit bereitzustellen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, wobei auch Kombinationen und Weiterbildungen einzelner Merkmale miteinander denkbar sind. Ein erster Gedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Steuereinheit zur Ansteuerung des Aktors auf einer Seite der Achse und die Positionssensorbaugruppe auf der bezüglich der Achse gegenüber liegenden Seite angeordnet ist. Diese Anordnung weist Vorteile hinsichtlich der Bauraumverteilung und elektrischen Trennung der Positionssensorbaugruppe von der Steuereinheit auf. Will man dabei jedoch unabhängigen Positionssensoren für Motorsteuerung und Aktor-Steuerung in einer gemeinsamen Einheit, erhöht dies den Verdrahtungsaufwand. It is an object of the invention to provide a safe, simple and inexpensive pedal unit. This object is solved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, and combinations and developments of individual features are conceivable with each other. A first idea of the invention is that the control unit for controlling the actuator on one side of the axis and the position sensor assembly is arranged on the side opposite to the axis. This arrangement has advantages in terms of space distribution and electrical separation of the position sensor assembly from the control unit. However, if one wants independent position sensors for motor control and actuator control in a common unit, this increases the wiring effort.

Daher ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Steuereinheit zur Ansteuerung des Aktors einen weiteren, von dem in der Positionssensorbaugruppe verschiedenen Positionssensor aufweist. Dadurch kann dieser auf der gleichen Seite der der Achse angeordnet werden wie die Steuereinheit.  Therefore, it is preferably provided that the control unit for controlling the actuator has a further, different from the position sensor in the position sensor position sensor. This can be arranged on the same side of the axis as the control unit.

In einer Ausgestaltung dessen ist dann vorgesehen, dass beidseitig der Achse jeweils ein Positionsgeber angeordnet ist und der jeweilige Positionssensor die Position des jeweiligen Positionsgebers erfasst.  In one embodiment, it is then provided that on both sides of the axis in each case a position sensor is arranged and the respective position sensor detects the position of the respective position sensor.

In einer Alternativen besonders bevorzugten Weiterbildung wird jedoch die Achse als Hohlwelle ausgeführt und einer der Positionssensoren im Inneren der Hohlwelle angeordnet. So ist es möglich, einen gemeinsamen Positionsgeber so anzuordnen, dass dessen Position sowohl von dem im Inneren der Hohlwelle angeordneten Positionssensor als auch dem anderen Positionssensor erfassbar ist, d.h. vergleichbar dem Stand der Technik mit einem gemeinsamen Magneten für mehrere Positionssensoren zu arbeiten. In an alternative particularly preferred embodiment, however, the axis is designed as a hollow shaft and arranged one of the position sensors in the interior of the hollow shaft. Thus, it is possible to arrange a common position sensor so that its position can be detected both by the position sensor arranged inside the hollow shaft and by the other position sensor, i. comparable to the prior art to work with a common magnet for multiple position sensors.

Andererseits sind die Positionssensoren jeweils baulich, insbesondere elektrisch voneinander getrennt und somit die Signale völlig unabhängig und galvanisch getrennt.On the other hand, the position sensors are each structurally, in particular electrically separated from each other and thus the signals completely independent and galvanically isolated.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren noch näher erläutert. Es zeigen: The invention will be explained in more detail by means of embodiments with reference to the figures. Show it:

Die Figuren Fig. 1 a-1 c zeigen in den 3 Ansichten recht anschaulich die Fahrpedaleinheit mit der daran angeordneten Steuereinheit 1 auf der einen, hier linken Seite der Fahrpedaleinheit und der Positionssensorbaugruppe 2 auf der entgegengesetzten Seite, in diesem Figuren also rechts. Dazwischen liegt die hier in den Figuren nicht sichtbare Welle und Drehachse für das Fahrpedal 3. Zudem ist ein Aktor 4 für die Erzeugung eines haptischen Feedbacks auf das Fahrpedal 3 vorgesehen, welcher von der Steuereinheit 1 angesteuert wird. The figures Fig. 1 a-1 c show in the 3 views quite clearly the accelerator pedal unit with the control unit 1 arranged thereon on one, here left side of the accelerator pedal unit and the position sensor assembly 2 on the opposite side, in this figure so right. In between is not visible here in the figures wave and axis of rotation for the accelerator pedal. 3 In addition, an actuator 4 is provided for generating a haptic feedback on the accelerator pedal 3, which is controlled by the control unit 1.

Die nachfolgenden Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen alternative, bevorzugte Details der inneren Ausgestaltungen einer solchen Fahrpedaleinheit jeweils in einer Schnittdarstellung.  The following Figures 2 and 3 show alternative, preferred details of the internal configurations of such an accelerator pedal unit in each case in a sectional view.

Dabei ist jeweils die Steuereinheit 1 zur Ansteuerung des Aktors auf einer Seite der Achse 31 und die Positionssensorbaugruppe 2 auf der bezüglich der Achse oder eben auch dem Gehäuse 34 der Fahrpedaleinheit gegenüber liegenden Seite angeordnet. Steuereinheit 1 und Positionssensorbaugruppe 2 sind dabei also vorzugsweise in 2 zueinander parallelen Ebenen angeordnet, welche um die Breite der Welle (33,35) beabstandet sind und vorzugsweise zu der Drehachse 31 jeweils senkrecht angeordnet sind, wobei die Steuereinheit 1 und Positionssensorbaugruppe 2 dabei in der Ebene in Abhängigkeit von den Bauraum Erfordernissen frei positioniert war sind und insbesondere nicht symmetrisch zur Achse 31 angeordnet sein müssen.  In each case, the control unit 1 for controlling the actuator on one side of the axis 31 and the position sensor assembly 2 is arranged on the relative to the axis or just the housing 34 of the accelerator pedal unit opposite side. Control unit 1 and position sensor assembly 2 are thus preferably arranged in two mutually parallel planes, which are spaced by the width of the shaft (33,35) and are preferably arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation 31 respectively, wherein the control unit 1 and position sensor assembly 2 in the Level are freely positioned depending on the space requirements and in particular need not be arranged symmetrically to the axis 31.

Erkennbar ist, dass das Fahrpedal 3 mit seiner Welle (33,35) jeweils um eine Achse 31 mit Lagerschalen 32 am Gehäuse 34 der Fahrpedaleinheit drehbar gelagert angeordnet ist, wobei die Ausgestaltung der jeweiligen Welle (33,35) in den Figuren unterschiedlich ist.  It can be seen that the accelerator pedal 3 with its shaft (33, 35) is rotatably mounted in each case about an axis 31 with bearing shells 32 on the housing 34 of the accelerator pedal unit, the configuration of the respective shaft (33, 35) being different in the figures.

Die Positionssensorbaugruppe 2 weist dabei einen 1 . Positionssensor 21 zur Detektion des Fahrpedals oder eines damit verbundenen Teils, hier insbesondere der Wellen 33 bzw. 35 auf. In beiden Ausführungsbeispielen weist die Steuereinheit 1 zur Ansteuerung des Aktors jeweils einen weiteren, von dem in der Positionssensorbaugruppe 2 verschiedenen Positionssensor 1 1 auf.  The position sensor module 2 has a 1. Position sensor 21 for detecting the accelerator pedal or an associated part, here in particular the waves 33 and 35, respectively. In both exemplary embodiments, the control unit 1 for activating the actuator in each case has a further position sensor 1 1 different from that in the position sensor assembly 2.

In Figur 2 sind beidseitig der Achse 31 am jeweiligen Ende der Welle 35 jeweils ein Positionsgeber 51 ,52, also beispielsweise jeweils eine Magnetanordnung angeordnet und erfasst der jeweilige Positionssensor 1 1 ,21 die Position des jeweiligen Positionsgebers 51 ,52.  In Figure 2, the axis 31 at each end of the shaft 35 are each a position sensor 51, 52, so for example each arranged a magnet assembly on both sides and detects the respective position sensor 1 1, 21, the position of the respective position sensor 51, 52nd

Hingegen zeigt die Figur 3 eine abweichende Ausgestaltung, bei welcher die Achse als einseitig offene Hohlwelle 33 ausgeführt ist. Dadurch wird es möglich, dass der Positionssensor 1 1 im Inneren der Hohlwelle 33 angeordnet wird und ein gemeinsamer Positionsgeber 5 so angeordnet ist, dass dessen Position sowohl von dem im Inneren der Hohlwelle angeordneten Positionssensor 1 1 als auch dem anderen Positionssensor 21 erfassbar ist. Entsprechend ist also der Positionsgeber 5 am Ende der Hohlwelle 33 auf der zur Positionssensorbaugruppe 2 zugewandten Seite angeordnet, ragt der Positionssensor 1 1 auf einem Fortsatz 13 mit elektrischen Leiterbahnen 12, beispielsweise einer Stanzgitter- Struktur, Leadframe oder konventionellen Leiterplatte so weit in das Innere der Hohlwelle 33, dass der Positionssensor 1 1 ebenfalls den Positionsgeber 5 gut detektieren kann.On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows a different embodiment, in which the axle is designed as a hollow shaft 33 which is open on one side. This makes it possible that the position sensor 1 1 is disposed inside the hollow shaft 33 and a common position sensor 5 is arranged so that its position can be detected both from the arranged inside the hollow shaft position sensor 1 1 and the other position sensor 21. Accordingly, the position sensor 5 is arranged at the end of the hollow shaft 33 on the side facing the position sensor assembly 2 side, protrudes the position sensor 1 1 on an extension 13 with electrical conductors 12, such as a punched grid structure, leadframe or conventional circuit board so far into the interior of the Hollow shaft 33 that the position sensor 1 1 can also detect the position sensor 5 well.

Der Fortsatz 13 ist dabei vorzugsweise an der Steuereinheit 1 befestigt und ragt so ins Innere der Hohlwelle 33 und kann sich die Hohlwelle 33 somit entsprechend der Pedalstellung des Fahrpedals 3 mit bewegen, während der Positionssensor 1 1 demgegenüber lagefest angeordnet ist und so die Änderung der Positionierung des Positionsgebers 5 erfassen kann. The extension 13 is preferably attached to the control unit 1 and protrudes into the interior of the hollow shaft 33 and the hollow shaft 33 can thus move according to the pedal position of the accelerator pedal 3, while the position sensor 1 1 is arranged fixed in position and so the change of positioning of the position sensor 5 can detect.
