Definitions

  • Switching arrangement that includes a selector that is biased to return to an initial position from any position among a plurality of positions.
  • Driver authorization systems for vehicles have developed so far that a mechanical ignition circuit is no longer required.
  • the driver authorization systems can use a transponder system which enables them to discover and query a key containing a transponder when the key is within a predetermined area of the vehicle or a vehicle component. If the transponder is verified as belonging to a valid key of the vehicle after the query, then a driving authorization can be issued by the system which authorizes the engine of the vehicle to start.
  • Such authorization systems are sometimes referred to as' PASSIVE GO * systems.
  • the systems must take into account procedures related to starting the vehicle and entering the vehicle locking system and providing the driver with access to other controls that are typically associated with a traditional ignition switch.
  • German Patent No. DE 19811872 Cl discloses a rocker switch for igniting / starting a vehicle engine, which includes temporary switching positions; but the rocker design of the switch is less intuitive and pleasant to use when used in conjunction with a full range of conventional switch positions and associated vehicle functions. It is the object of the present invention to present an intuitive and easier-to-use selector in a driver authorization system.
  • the driving authorization system comprises a switching arrangement for activating a plurality of vehicle functions, in particular starting the engine, characterized by a rotary selector which can be moved between an initial position and any one of a plurality of other positions associated with separate vehicle functions; and
  • Biasing means for resetting the selector from each of the other positions to the starting position from each of the other positions to the starting position after an operator of the switching arrangement has been released.
  • the other positions preferably correspond to the functions ACC (access), IGN (ignition), OFF (off), START or LOCK (locking), or a selection thereof.
  • the movement of the selector to one of the other positions preferably triggers a safety dialog before the engine is allowed to start.
  • the selector is preferably designed in the form of a push-button for movement from the initial position in order to trigger the safety dialog and the IGN (ignition) function.
  • the START function is preferably accessed by pressing and turning the button.
  • the selector positions are preferably arranged on different levels.
  • the starting position and the other positions can be arranged on a common plane.
  • the turning of the button for access to the other positions is preferably locked electromechanically until the driver authentication is completed.
  • the switching arrangement preferably includes electrical contacts or sensors which are optionally occupied after the selector has been moved from the initial position in order to bring about the desired vehicle functions.
  • the initial position preferably corresponds to the position of the selector in a central, electrically isolated state.
  • the system preferably further comprises a key including a transponder and a control system for querying and verifying the transponder.
  • the system includes control means that determine one of the vehicle functions based on the selector position and operating status of other resources, including one or more of the following Selectors: handbrake, footbrake, accelerator pedal, clutch or gearshift.
  • Figure 1 - a schematic representation of the preferred implementation of a driver authorization system according to the invention with a switching arrangement for a vehicle;
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a working diagram of a first preferred implementation of a selector of the switching arrangement
  • Figure 3 - a working diagram of a second preferred implementation of the selector
  • Figure 4 is a working diagram of a third preferred implementation of the selector
  • Figure 4a is an illustration of a preferred form of selector
  • Figure 5 - a schematic side view of a switching arrangement according to the invention.
  • a driving authorization system 1 comprises a switching arrangement 2, which is coupled to a control device 3, which in turn is connected to a plurality of vehicle component modules 4.
  • the switching arrangement includes one Selector 5, which is shown schematically in FIG. 1b as a rotatable button 6, which has an optional central opening 7 for the insertion of a key, which is preferably a transponder key.
  • the selector 6 can be moved from a neutral starting position 8 in a first direction, either in the axial direction or plane, and can then be rotated between a first and a second position 9, 10. Moving the selector from the initial position causes a switch 1 1 to be closed, which closes the circuit 12 and is indicated on the control device 3 by a "PUSH" (pressing) status.
  • the depressed state of the selector corresponds to a third position in which a security dialog with the key for driver authentication is set up. If proper
  • the subsequent movement of the selector into the active first and second positions is prevented by an appropriate electromechanical lock (not shown). However, if authentication is confirmed, the lock is turned off to allow subsequent rotation of the selector to the left or right into positions 9 or 10 to close the associated circuit 13 or 14 to indicate in the controller whether the selector turned left or right.
  • the movement of the selector need not be in a particular or strictly linear or rotating direction as long as the end positions are achieved. For example, a relatively arbitrary movement between the neutral position 8 and the first and second positions 9, 10 may be possible.
  • the control device determines which vehicle function should be initiated. For example, if the circuit 12 is closed. the vehicle's electrical accessories can be switched on. while turning the selector to position 9 can occupy the steering wheel lock and turning the selector to the right activates a start sequence to start the vehicle engine.
  • the switching arrangement can be equipped with associated LEDs (light-emitting diodes) 15 or the like, which indicate the respectively selected position.
  • the vehicle functions are dependent on the control device Inputs on the part of the selector, possibly combined with the status inputs of other operating means / component modules 4 of the vehicle related to the status of, for example, a handbrake, footbrake, accelerator, clutch or gearshift selector switched on.
  • the control device can only allow the engine to start when the gear stick is in neutral or
  • Parking position is as determined with reference to the shift stick position module 16.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the operation of the selector 6, where PN indicates the neutral initial position of the selector and P2 and P3 indicate the first and second positions 9 and 10, where P 1 represents the selector in a position which further advanced from PN in the axial direction is.
  • FIG. 3 shows an alternative selector mode in which two further positions P4 and P5 are provided. These are preferably at the same level as the initial position of the selector.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further preferred selector operating sequence, ignition positions, neutral and deactivated positions 17, 18, 19 being provided in a single rotating or rectilinear plane and a starting position 20 being arranged in a second plane.
  • the end positions can be accessed arbitrarily and the movement between them need not be limited to the indicated path.
  • FIG. 4a A further preferred implementation of the current selector is shown in FIG. 4a, in which the selector can be operated in one of three possible ways:
  • the print function is only used for an IGN position to enable the selector to be set to START.
  • the selector is then reset to NEUTRAL (zero degrees) by spring force as in the other implementations.
  • the selector has no push button function at all. Instead, a soft ratchet can be provided at the IGN position.
  • the ratchet wheel position provides tactile feedback on the positioning of the IGN position.
  • the spring force is strong enough to overcome the soft ratchet and return the selector to the NEUTRAL position.
  • the selector again has no push button function and can move freely into the OFF or IGN position. However, the selector also returns to the neutral position automatically (by spring force).
  • an electromagnetic lock or the like can be included for additional security to block or enable the selector to advance to the START position.
  • selector positions can be in a linear arrangement with the possibility that additional functions can be triggered by combining expenses from other vehicle functions.
  • the selector may only have three possible positions, but can trigger any number of desired functions depending on the status of associated vehicle components, such as a hand brake, foot brake, gear shift, zero speed etc. or the selector itself can be constructed differently, e.g. in the form of a joystick, in which the central position of the joystick corresponds to the neutral starting position.
  • the selector is preferably electrically isolated from the control device, specifically because the circuit 12 is open.
  • the selector is fastened on a central shaft 30.
  • the shaft passes through a pretensioner 31, which includes springs which resist the axial and rotating movement of the selector.
  • the shaft is designed so that it moves within a housing 32 of the switching arrangement, so that the selector effects the respectively required movement into the positions described, for example, in FIGS. 2 to 4a.
  • the shaft 30 terminates in an end portion 33 which includes protrusions such as 34, 35, 36 which serve as cam surfaces to trip associated switches 38, 39, 40 to form circuits 12, 13, 14 with the controller 3 ,
  • the projections 34 are engaged in the switch 38 to close the circuit 12 of Figure 1 and turn on the "ACC" function.
  • the protrusion 34 extends around at least part of the circumference of the shaft 30 so that the selector, even in the rotated state, holds the ACC in the switched-on state, while one of the protrusions 33, 36 and an associated switch 39, 40 are occupied by to effect one of the other functions of the vehicle, such as IGN or LOCK, by closing the associated circuits 13, 14.
  • the switches 38, 39, 40 are preferably mounted on a Leite ⁇ latte 41 to facilitate installation and electrical coupling with the control device 3.
  • the switching arrangement according to the invention differs from currently existing switching arrangements in that the selector is automatically reset to a neutral starting position. There is a significant advantage in that the selector is not left in an improper position and can further discover the system when the driver authorization is removed, e.g. when a driver leaves the vehicle and activates the door locking system 29.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système (1) pour autoriser la conduite d'un véhicule, comportant un dispositif de commutation (2) qui sert à activer une pluralité de fonctions du véhicule, notamment le démarrage du moteur. Ce système est caractérisé par un sélecteur rotatif qui peut être déplacé entre une position initiale (8) et une pluralité d'autres positions quelconques, comprenant une première et une deuxième position (9, 10) reliées à des fonctions séparées du véhicule. Il est en outre caractérisé par des moyens de sollicitation (31) qui servent à replacer le sélecteur dans sa position initiale à partir d'une position quelconque, lorsque ledit sélecteur est libéré par une commande du dispositif de commutation. Ce dernier est destiné de préférence à être utilisé avec une clé de transpondeur, et la position initiale correspond de préférence à une position neutre du sélecteur, isolée électriquement, de sorte que ce dernier soit replacé automatiquement dans sa position initiale afin d'éviter que le véhicule soit laissé dans un état inapproprié, lorsque le conducteur quitte le véhicule avec le transpondeur.
