Definitions

the invention relates to a signal horn, in particular for motor vehicles, with a membrane which is moved by a drive and which acts on a pressure chamber, with a funnel which connects to the pressure chamber, which is wound up parallel to the membrane and which ends in a sound outlet opening and means for connecting a portion of the bugle to the surrounding air.
Such a bugle is known from DE-AS 12 56 115.
the known bugle has disadvantages, however, because no measures are specified to free the horn of the bugle from water, which can form due to condensation in the hopper or due to a surge of water, for. B. when driving the motor vehicle through rain through the sound outlet into the funnel.
water in the funnel impedes the sound transformation of the funnel and can thus lead to a sound that is attenuated in volume through to a falsification of the sound, or even to the complete failure of the signal horn.
the object of the invention is to create a signal horn in which the sound emitted by water in the funnel is avoided.
the funnel has a substantially downward opening at a turn lying at the lowest point for a given mounting position of the signal horn, to which an essentially downward-pointing channel adjoins.
an essentially downward-pointing channel is also provided, which connects to the opening.
the channel is an open tube, which is quasi "open" acoustically only for its resonant frequencies, but acts like an acoustic closure for the frequency ranges in between. In these intermediate areas there is therefore no appreciable weakening of the frequency components conducted within the funnel.
the signal horn according to the invention thus has the advantage over the known one that water located in the funnel can run out of the funnel via the opening and the channel and so that an adverse impairment of the sound by water in the funnel is avoided.
the channel can prevent the influences of the opening in certain frequency ranges that impair the sound of the signal horn.
a channel alone is required so that the bugle according to the invention with the above. acoustic advantages can be built easily and inexpensively.
the length of the channel dependent on the frequency position of the harmonics generated by the signal horn.
the sound of the bugle is composed of a number of harmonics.
the lowest harmonic is called the fundamental and the frequencies of the higher harmonics are an even multiple of the fundamental.
the length of the channel can then be selected depending on the location of these frequencies. This takes advantage of the fact that the channel has the acoustic properties of an open tube that draws vibrational energy from the funnel in its resonance frequencies, but blocks this energy transport in the frequency ranges in between. This fact takes advantage of the invention and the length of the channel is advantageously chosen such that the resonance frequencies of the tube do not match in frequency with the harmonics generated by the signal horn, but in between, but preferably above the volume-determining harmonics.
horns with funnels When used in motor vehicles, horns with funnels are used, the volume-determining harmonics of which are between 1000 ... 3000 Hz. With signal horns of this type, it has proven to be particularly advantageous if the length of the channel is approximately 2 to 6 cm. This applies in particular to channel cross sections of 3 ... 9 square millimeters.
the cross-sectional area of the opening is larger than 3 square millimeters.
a quick drain of the water from the funnel is guaranteed, but the effective acoustic effectiveness of the channel decreases due to the effects of the mouth.
a maximum cross-sectional area of 9 square millimeters has proven to be the upper limit.
the cross-sectional area of the channel is approximately equal to the cross-sectional area of the opening and if the channel and / or opening have a round cross section.
the channel extends from the deepest turn to the sound outlet opening, because with the usually in the Motor vehicle used horns the length of the channel is then in the advantageous range of about 2 ... 6 cm.
the single figure shows a signal horn according to the invention which is attached to the motor vehicle with the membrane plane perpendicular to the direction of travel and whose sound outlet opening is arranged parallel to the membrane plane.
the sound outlet opening (5) thus hangs down and points to the road on which the motor vehicle is moving.
a funnel (1) is shown, which connects to a pressure chamber, which is not recognizable in the figure behind the funnel.
the membrane also not shown, is also located behind the funnel, approximately parallel to the plane of the drawing.
the drive of the horn according to the invention is also covered by the funnel (1).
the funnel (1) opens into a sound outlet opening (5) and has a downward and deepest turn (2) which has an essentially downward opening (3).
the opening (3) merges into an essentially downward-pointing channel (4) which is arranged in such a way that the channel (4) extends from the deepest winding (2) to the sound outlet opening (5).
the signal horn according to the invention is fastened to the body of the motor vehicle (not shown in the figure) by a fastening tab (6).
the measure according to the invention can thus reliably prevent the sound emitted by the signal horn according to the invention from being distorted by water in the funnel (1).
