Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Auslöseschalung für eine Insassenschutzein richtung in Kraftfahrzeugen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Auslöseschaltung für eine Insassensicher heitsvorrichtung, die im Lenkrad, insbesondere eines Kraftfahrzeuges, eingebaut ist. Die Sicherheitsvorrichtungen können von der Art sein, wie sie in der Automobiltechnischen Zeitschrift, Jahrgang 84 (1982), Seiten 77 ff. beschrieben ist. Angesprochen sind insbesondere Gaskissen und Gurt strammer. Auslöseschaltungen und Prüf- bzw. Überwachungsschaltungen sind beschrieben sowohl in dieser Zeitschrift wie auch in den nachfolgend genannten Schriften, nämlich in DE-AS 22 13 977, DE-OS 22 22 038, DE-OS 24 50 235, DE-PS 24 54 424, DE-OS 26 12 215 und DE-PS 28 08 872.The invention relates to a release formwork for an occupant protection direction in motor vehicles according to the preamble of the claim. It is a trigger circuit for a passenger safe safety device in the steering wheel, in particular of a motor vehicle, is installed. The safety devices can be of the type them in the automotive engineering magazine, volume 84 (1982), pages 77 ff. is described. Gas cushions and belts are particularly addressed tighter. Tripping circuits and test or monitoring circuits are described both in this journal and in the following mentioned writings, namely in DE-AS 22 13 977, DE-OS 22 22 038, DE-OS 24 50 235, DE-PS 24 54 424, DE-OS 26 12 215 and DE-PS 28 08 872.
Von der letztgenannten Schrift ausgehend, liegt der Erfindung die Aufga be zugrunde, das Ergebnis der Eigendiagnose eines Sensors für Gaskissen auf möglichst einfache Weise dem Fahrer bzw. dem Wartungspersonal anzuzeigen oder einem Diagnosegerät zu übermitteln.Starting from the latter document, the invention is the task be based, the result of self-diagnosis of a sensor for gas pillows to the driver or to the maintenance personnel or to be sent to a diagnostic device.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichenteil des Patentan spruchs angegebenen Merkmale.This problem is solved by the in the characterizing part of the patent characteristics specified.
Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind:The advantages of the invention are:
Zusätzliche Verbindungsleitungen für die Diagnose bzw. aufwendige Leitungsführungen ins Lenkrad entfallen.Additional connecting lines for diagnosis or complex Lines in the steering wheel are not required.
Bei einem Ausfall des Sensorsystems im Lenkrad durch fehlende Span nungsversorgung erfolgt eine sichere Anzeige des Ausfalls, da dann keine Datenimpulse im Datenempfänger erscheinen. Diese Möglichkeit, einen Totalausfall zu erkennen, ist z.B. bei einer im Sensor inte grierten Fehleranzeige nicht gegeben. In the event of failure of the sensor system in the steering wheel due to missing chip power supply there is a safe indication of the failure, since then no data pulses appear in the data receiver. This possibility, recognizing a total failure is e.g. with an inte error display not given.
Anhand der Zeichnung wird nachfolgend ein Ausführungsbeispiel beschrie ben. Das Ausführungsbeispiel betrifft eine Insassenschutzeinrichtung in der Art, wie sie in der eingangs genannten Zeitschrift "ATZ" beschrieben worden ist, die einen Gassack für Kraftfahrzeuge mit einem elektrischen Beschleunigungsaufnehmer für Abgabe eines der Verzögerung des Kraftfahr zeugs bei einem Aufprall auf ein Hindernis entsprechenden Signales sowie mit einer Auswerteschaltung und einer Prüfschaltung. Die Schutteinrich tung ist z.B. als Gassackeinheit am Lenkrad befestigt und im Lenkrad über vorhandene elektrische Leitungen (z.B. Hupenleitung) mit Strom ver sorgt. Als Stromquelle dient insbesondere die Autobatterie 1 (z.B. 12 V Gleichstrom). Der Demodulator - in der Zeichnung im linken Teil strich liert umrahmt - enthält einen Stromsensor 2, der realisiert ist entwe der induktiv als Spule 2 a, als ohmscher Widerstand 2 b oder mit Feldplat ten als Hallsensor 2 c.An exemplary embodiment is described below using the drawing. The embodiment relates to an occupant protection device in the manner as has been described in the above-mentioned magazine "ATZ", the gas bag for motor vehicles with an electrical accelerometer for delivery of a deceleration of the motor vehicle in the event of an impact on an obstacle corresponding signal and with an evaluation circuit and a test circuit. The Schutteinrich device is, for example, attached to the steering wheel as an airbag unit and supplied with electricity in the steering wheel via existing electrical lines (eg horn line). In particular, the car battery 1 (for example 12 V direct current) serves as the current source. The demodulator - framed in the drawing in the left part - contains a current sensor 2 , which is realized either inductively as a coil 2 a , as an ohmic resistor 2 b or with field plates as a hall sensor 2 c .
An den Stromsensor 2 angeschlossen ist eine Stufe 3, die zur Pegelanpas sung und zur Umsetzung der vom Sensor 2 kommenden analogen Signale in digitale Signale dient. Diese Signale werden ausgewertet in einer Aus werteschaltung 4, insbesondere einer Logikeinheit, die ihrerseits mit einer Anzeigeeinheit 5 verbunden sein kann. Die Auswerteeinheit 4 kann ferner wahlweise mit einem Bordcomputer verbunden werden.Connected to the current sensor 2 is a stage 3 , which is used for level adjustment and for converting the analog signals coming from the sensor 2 into digital signals. These signals are evaluated in an evaluation circuit 4 , in particular a logic unit, which in turn can be connected to a display unit 5 . The evaluation unit 4 can also optionally be connected to an on-board computer.
Die Sensorschaltung (7) für den Gassack - in der Zeichnung im rechten strichliert umrahmten Teil - weist einen Modulator 6 auf, der entweder als Stromsenke 6 a oder als Rechteckgenerator 6 b ausgeführt ist. Dieser Modulator 6 dient zur Signalerzeugung, die hier zur Erzeugung von Sta tusinformationen über den Zustand des Gassacksensors. Die Prüfimpulse werden im Modulator 6 erzeugt, z.B. durch ein hochfrequentes Wechsel stromsignal, das auf die Stromversorgungsleitung von der Batterie 1 her aufmoduliert wird. Auch andere bekannte Impulsformen können als Prüfsig nale dienen. The sensor circuit ( 7 ) for the gas bag - in the drawing in the right-hand framed part - has a modulator 6 , which is designed either as a current sink 6 a or as a rectangular generator 6 b . This modulator 6 is used for signal generation, which is used here to generate status information about the state of the gas bag sensor. The test pulses are generated in the modulator 6 , for example by a high-frequency alternating current signal which is modulated onto the power supply line from the battery 1 . Other known pulse shapes can also serve as test signals.
In dem in der Zeichnung links dargestellten strichliert umrahmten Teil erfolgt die Demodulation der über die Stromversorgungsleitung vom Modulator 6 kommenden Signale (insbesondere Statussignale), die dann der Anpaßeinheit 3 und der Auswerteeinheit 4 zugeführt werden. Die Anzeigeeinheit 5 kann z.B. angesteuert werden beim Fehlen von Modulationssignalen oder die Anzeige blinkt bei einer definierten Signalfolge mit verschiedenen Frequenzen oder die demodulierten Prüfimpulse werden an die serielle Schnittstelle eines Bordcompu ters oder an ein Diagnosegerät weitergegeben.In the part framed in dashed lines in the drawing on the left, demodulation of the signals coming from the modulator 6 via the power supply line (in particular status signals) takes place, which are then fed to the adaptation unit 3 and the evaluation unit 4 . The display unit 5 can be controlled, for example, in the absence of modulation signals or the display flashes in the case of a defined signal sequence with different frequencies or the demodulated test pulses are passed on to the serial interface of an on-board computer or to a diagnostic device.
Die Funktionsprüfung der Datenübertragung erfolgt entwederThe functional test of the data transmission is carried out either
- a) beim Überprüfen der Auslöseschaltung in einer Werkstatt nach einem Fehlerfall, odera) when checking the trigger circuit in a workshop an error, or
- b) beim Überprüfen während des Betriebs des Kraftfahrzeuges.b) when checking during the operation of the motor vehicle.
