FR2775453A1 - TWO-SEAT MOTOR VEHICLE COMPRISING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS - Google Patents

Abstract

A two-seater motor vehicle comprises several functional or other electrical components. At least one of the components is a transmitting and / or receiving unit (4) placed in the passenger compartment in the area behind the seats (2) or between the vehicle seat backs. It is in particular a unit (4) processing signals coming from outside the vehicle and / or emitting signals. At least one other electrical component (3), formed in particular by a CD changer, is placed in roughly the same location. Applicable to convertibles in particular.

Description

The invention relates to a dual-motor vehicle

  place with several electrical components.

  It is becoming increasingly difficult to house electrical components in a motor vehicle due to the greatly increased importance of equipment

  of this nature, frequently requiring the use of apparatus

  electrical control reils which are added. The possibilities of accommodation in the engine compartment are practically exhausted and installation there is also relatively complicated and expensive due to

  the necessary protection against environmental conditions

  nantes, such as relative temperature fluctuations

  strong and stains. Installation in the

  trunk comes at the cost of a reduction in the volume used

  trunk readable or often involves larger cable harnesses due to the distance from the cockpit. It is also known to house electrical components inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle in

  the dashboard or center console area.

  The downside is that the usable space in the living room

tackle is thus reduced.

  It is already known to mount speakers

  behind the seats in the passenger compartment of motor vehicles

  biles, for example on a rear shelf. In connection with two-seater vehicles, it is known from document DE 296 20 037 Ul to provide a box for storing various objects and in the external surface of which

  can be integrated from the loudspeakers of an installation

  audio. This creates the possibility of housing the loudspeakers in the passenger compartment - anyway also in the passenger compartment if

it is a two-seater vehicle.

  It is also known (DE 91 16 602 U1) to integrate

  manage a CD changer (digital compact discs) in

  an armrest. This provision allows on the one hand to pre-

  save space in the trunk and also make the CD changer accessible to the occupants during

  vehicle running, for example to replace CDs.

  The object of the present invention is to optimize the housing of electrical components in a motor vehicle.

  According to the invention, this re-

  the result is that at least one of the components consists of a transmitting and / or receiving unit, which is arranged in the passenger compartment of the vehicle in the area behind the seats or between the seat backrests of the vehicle.

  It turns out to be advantageous in this respect that this

  posing is usually of flat conformation and that,

  if it is installed according to the invention, it extends transversely

  dirty to the direction of walking. Signals emitted for example by road signs, can be optimally received by the arrangement of the reception unit with its oriented flat shape

  transverse to the direction of travel.

  This gives the additional advantage that this component or these electrical components are not exposed to unfavorable surrounding conditions, as is the case for example if they were housed in the engine compartment of the vehicle. In addition, there is no loss of space which the vehicle user would possibly need, as is the case for example in the case of installation in the trunk. In addition, the electrical components are protected almost optimally in the event of a vehicle collision.

  since the components are not housed in the area

  formable. According to an embodiment of the invention, said component consists of a unit which processes signals coming from outside the vehicle and / or which

emits signals.

  It can be for example, according to a mode of

  advantageous realization of an apparatus delivering automatically

  only an emergency call in case the vehicle has a

  accident, which is detected by this device. If this

  nier is housed behind the vehicle seats - preferably in the area between the two seats - it is in a much safer place, even in the case

  of an accident, so that the issuance of the emergency call

course is practically guaranteed.

  One embodiment of the invention comprises

  the provision of at least one other electrical component

  in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, in the area behind

  the seats or between the backs of the vehicle seats

  hicule, this other component being in particular a chan-

CD player.

  It turns out to be advantageous for the discs to

  pacts contained in the CD changer can then also

  They must also be replaced by a passenger during the journey because the changer is accessible in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Compared with the known installation of CD changers in the trunk, it is also advantageous that it is not necessary to provide for

  place for him in the trunk. This is an advantage over-

  everything if it is a two-seater vehicle because the

  trunk is often limited already. This is so in part

  culier for two-seater convertibles where the roof or cab

  open buddy also occupies part of the trunk.

  An example of a non-limiting embodiment of the example is shown in the drawing, o: - Figure 1 is a side view of a two-seater vehicle; and

  - Figure 2 is a top view of this vehicle

  cule. Figure 1 shows a two-seater vehicle 1 in a side view. Electrical components of the vehicle 1 are housed behind the seats 2. In the embodiment shown, it is a CD changer 3, as well as a unit 4 for transmitting, receiving and processing signals to be sent by vehicle 1 or to

receive by it.

  Regarding the CD changer 3, it turns out to be advantageous that this device does not take up space

  in the trunk. In addition, the passenger can also

  place compact discs in the changer during

vehicle running.

  As for unit 4, it turns out to be advantageous that

  signals emitted for example by signal panels

  road station can be received particularly well since the unit 4 extends essentially in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. If installed in the area between seats 2 of the vehicle, as shown in Figure 2, it

  also proves to be advantageous for this area to be particular

  well protected in the event of an accident. This is forward

  especially when the unit has to issue an emergency call in the event of an accident in vehicle 1, an accident that the unit concerned is capable of detecting. The installation according to the invention also ensures high reliability

functional in the event of an accident.

  In addition, by mounting the electrical components according to the invention, it turns out that the wiring is

  simple since the cables can be passed vertically-

  down towards the tunnel from the

posers concerned.
