Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Anzeige des Abstandes zwischen der hinteren Begrenzung eines Anhängers einer in eine Parklücke einfahrenden Kraftfahrzeuges, insbesondere eines Lastzuges, und den die Parklücke begrenzenden ortsfesten Gegenständen oder Fahrzeugen, aufweisend mindestens einen hinten am Anhänger angebrachten Sender für Ultraschall-, Infrarot-, Mikrowellen- oder andere -signale, mindestens einen hinten am Anhänger angebrachten Sensor zum Auffangen reflektierter Signale, eine Auswerteschaltung für die ausgesendeten und empfangenen Signale und eine Anzeige des vorhandenen Abstandes in der Fahrerkabine der Zugmaschine des Lastzuges.The invention relates to a device for displaying the Distance between the rear boundary of a trailer a motor vehicle entering a parking space, especially a truck and the parking space limiting fixed objects or vehicles, having at least one attached to the rear of the trailer Transmitter for ultrasound, infrared, microwave or other -signals, at least one attached to the rear of the trailer Sensor for collecting reflected signals, one Evaluation circuit for the transmitted and received signals and an indication of the existing distance in the driver's cabin the tractor unit of the truck.
Es ist bekannt, über ausgesendete Signale den Abstand zwischen dem hinteren Ende eines Fahrzeuges und den einer Parklücke begrenzenden Gegenstände oder anderen parkenden Fahrzeugen zu bestimmen und dem Kraftfahrer am Steuerrad eine entsprechende Abstandsangabe zu übermitteln. Im Zusammenhang mit Fahrzeugen ist dies von besonderer Bedeutung, da die hier bislang eingesetzten Spiegel dem Kraftfahrer nur ein unvollkommenes Bild der Situation insbesondere des kritischen Abstandes vermitteln. It is known to use the emitted signals the distance between the rear end of a vehicle and that of a parking space limiting objects or other parked vehicles determine and the driver at the steering wheel a corresponding Distance information to be transmitted. In connection with vehicles this is of particular importance since so far used mirrors the driver only an imperfect Picture of the situation, especially the critical distance convey.
Die bei Personenkraftfahrzeugen verwendeten Distanzmeßeinrichtungen können nicht ohne weiteres auch bei Lastzügen eingesetzt werden, da zwischen der Meßstelle und der Fahrerkabine erhebliche Abstände zu überbrücken sind. Man muß daher entsprechende Signalleitungen an der Zugmaschine und dem Anhängerfahrzeug verlegen und an der Anhängerkupplung auch miteinander verbinden. Es kommt noch hinzu, daß der recht rauhe Betrieb bei Lastzügen sehr schnell mit sich bringt, daß diese empfindlichen Leitungen ge- oder zerstört werden, so daß die gewünschte Distanzmessung nicht durchgeführt werden kann. Auch ist es beim Ankuppeln eines Anhängers an ein Zugfahrzeug mißlich, nicht nur die mechanische Kupplung und die elektrische Verbindung über eine Stecker-Kupplungsverbindung herstellen zu müssen, sondern eben noch zusätzlich eine weitere Verbindungsleitung durchzuschalten, die der Übertragung der Distanzsignale dienen soll.The used in passenger cars Distance measuring devices cannot easily be used for Road trains are used because between the measuring point and the Driver's cab must be bridged considerably. One must therefore appropriate signal lines on the tractor and the Lay the trailer vehicle and the trailer coupling too connect with each other. In addition, it is quite rough Operation on road trains very quickly entails that sensitive lines are damaged or destroyed, so that the desired distance measurement cannot be carried out. Also it is when coupling a trailer to a towing vehicle annoying, not just the mechanical coupling and the electrical one Establish connection via a plug-coupling connection must, but just another one Connect through the transmission line Distance signals should serve.
Die Erfindung will hier eine wesentliche Vereinfachung beim Umgang bzw. im Betrieb einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art schaffen.The invention aims to simplify the process considerably Handling or in the operation of a device of the type mentioned Create kind.
Erreicht wird dies dadurch, daß bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art ein Modulator am Anhänger die Signale der Auswerteschaltung bzw. die Abstandssignale auf einen HF-Träger gibt und ein Demodulator in der Fahrerkabine die über die Gleichspannungsversorgungsleitung übertragenen Signale demoduliert und der Anzeigeinrichtung zuführt.This is achieved in that the device type mentioned a modulator on the trailer the signals the evaluation circuit or the distance signals to one RF carriers and a demodulator in the driver's cabin the DC power line transmitted signals demodulates and feeds the display device.
Aufgrund der Verwendung eines Hochfrequenzträgers kann die ohnehin vorhandene Gleichstromleitung eines Lastzuges oder eines Personenkraftwagens mit Anhänger als Signalübertragungsleitung eingesetzt werden, so daß beim Ankuppeln eines Anhängerfahrzeuges an eine Zugmaschine keine besonderen Vorkehrungen zu treffen sind. Ist erst einmal die ohnehin notwendige Gleichstromverbindungsleitung, insbesondere für die Beleuchtung, hergestellt worden, so ist bereits auch die entsprechende Signalleitung durchgeschaltet worden, die der Übertragung der Distanzsignale dient.Due to the use of a radio frequency carrier, the DC line of a truck train already present or of a passenger car with a trailer as Signal transmission line are used so that when Coupling a trailer vehicle to a tractor none special precautions must be taken. First is that DC connection line necessary anyway, in particular for lighting, has already been manufactured the corresponding signal line has been switched through, the Transmission of distance signals is used.
In der einzigen Figur der Zeichnung ist ein Lastzug mit eine
Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung schematisch gezeigt
In der Figur ist mit 10 die Zugmaschine bezeichnet, wobei die
Fahrerkabine die Bezugszahl 11 trägt. An der Zugmaschine ist
ein Anhängerfahrzeug 12 befestigt, wobei hierzu eine
mechanische und elektrische Kupplung allgemein mit der
Bezugszahl 21 bezeichnet ist.In the single figure of the drawing, a truck with a device according to the invention is shown schematically
In the figure, 10 denotes the tractor, the driver's cab bearing the reference number 11 . A trailer vehicle 12 is fastened to the tractor, for which purpose a mechanical and electrical coupling is generally designated by the reference number 21 .
An dem hinteren Begrenzungsende des Anhängerfahrzeugs 12 ist die Vorrichtung 20 gemäß der Erfindung angeordnet. Diese besteht u. a. aus einem Sensor für Signale, einem Empfänger für reflektierte Signale sowie einer Auswerteschaltung für die ausgesendeten und empfangenen Signale.The device 20 according to the invention is arranged at the rear boundary end of the trailer vehicle 12 . This consists among other things of a sensor for signals, a receiver for reflected signals as well as an evaluation circuit for the transmitted and received signals.
Diese Signale werden nun einem Modulator zugeführt, der sie auf einen Hochfrequenzträger aufmoduliert und sodann auf die Gleichspannungsversorgungsleitung gibt. In der Fahrerkabine 11 werden diese Signale demoduliert und schließlich dem Distanzanzeigegerät zugeführt.These signals are then fed to a modulator, which modulates them onto a high-frequency carrier and then gives them to the DC voltage supply line. These signals are demodulated in the driver's cabin 11 and finally fed to the distance display device.
Auf diese Art und Weise hat der Fahrer ohne besondere Vorkehrungen die Möglichkeit, eine Aussage über den Abstand der hinteren Begrenzung des Anhängerfahrzeugs zu ortsfesten Gegenständen, insbesondere anderen parkenden Fahrzeugen zu erhalten.In this way, the driver has no special Precautions the ability to make a statement about the distance of the rear boundary of the trailer vehicle to be stationary Objects, especially other parked vehicles receive.
Es liegt im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Vorrichtung auch während der Fahrt einzusetzen, also beispielsweise wenn ein Lastzug gerade ein anderes Fahrzeug oder einen Lastzug überholt hat. Die dann ausgesendeten und übertragenen Signale können in gleicher Weise, wie beim Einparken, ausgewertet werden und vermitteln dem Fahrer, ob er einen ausreichenden Abstand zu einem überholten Fahrzeug hat und entsprechend die Fahrspur wechseln kann.It is within the scope of the present invention, the device can also be used while driving, for example if a trailer truck is just another vehicle or a trailer truck has overtaken. The signals then transmitted and transmitted can be evaluated in the same way as when parking and convey to the driver whether he has sufficient Has a distance to an overhauled vehicle and accordingly the Can change lane.
