Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle locking systems and to a method for detecting the closed position of a movable part of a vehicle according to a separate method claim, a computer program product according to a further separate claim, and a vehicle locking system according to a separate system claim.

[0002] Vehicle locking systems are generally used to reliably lock and unlock the movable parts of a vehicle accordingly. They are therefore vehicle safety systems that function to reliably protect the vehicle's occupants. According to the prior art, whether the movable parts of a vehicle are properly locked and / or closed is usually queried via door contact switches. The signals of the door contact switches are converted into visual and / or acoustic information, for example, to allow identification of open and / or unlocked doors. Furthermore, as an alternative to door contact switches, it is known that switches are integrated into the corresponding vehicle locks of the movable parts. These query the position of the locking mechanism and then send a signal similar to that of the door contact switches.

[0003] DE 10 2010 052 582 A1 discloses a method for detecting the open position of a door by means of a door contact switch: when an occupant activates an electric vehicle lock with an opening request, the door contact switch is interrogated to detect whether the door is open or not.

[0004] DE 102016202975 A1 discloses a method for detecting a closed state, which is determined by a door contact switch on the B-pillar or door hinge sending a corresponding signal to output a visual warning if the vehicle doors are not locked.

[0005] A drawback of the prior art is that the known systems can be operated using the simplest means. For example, the door contact switch can be activated intentionally or unintentionally from the outside, even if the door is not locked. Also, the locking mechanism of the vehicle lock can be switched to the locked state from the outside, even if the door is not engaged with the lock holder. Thus, a locked door is simulated for the vehicle, even if it is not actually locked at all.

[0006] This problem is particularly important in the case of automatically operable vehicles, especially those that are operated without a driver.

[0007] overview

[0008] The object of the present invention is to at least partially eliminate the drawbacks known from the state of the art, in particular to enable reliable detection of a closed door and thereby provide improved protection against manipulation.

[0009] The above object is achieved by a method having the features of the independent method claims, a computer program product according to the corresponding independent claims, and a system having the features of the independent system claims.

[0010] Further advantageous embodiments are specified in particular in the dependent claims and in the description. It should be pointed out that the features recited in the claims can be combined with one another in any technically reasonable manner to represent further embodiments of the invention. Features and details explained in connection with the method according to the invention naturally also apply in connection with the vehicle locking system according to the invention and / or the computer program product according to the invention and vice versa, so that the disclosures of the individual aspects of the invention can always be referred to interchangeably.

[0011] According to the invention, a method for detecting the closed position of a moving part of a vehicle, in particular of an automatically operable vehicle, is proposed, the method comprising: The control unit receives a first position signal from a first signal source as a first closure criterion including at least one lock position of a lock of the vehicle relative to the movable part; the control unit adding a conditional test command to the received first position signal, the conditional test command including checking at least one second position signal as a second closure criterion after detecting the first position signal, wherein the first closure criterion is also satisfied; receiving, by the control unit, a second position signal from a second signal source as a second closure criterion, the second signal source being different from the first signal source and capable of assigning the second position signal to the movable part; the control unit outputting a confirmation signal when both closure criteria are met; Includes:

[0012] The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not necessarily intended to be performed in the particular order described or presented, unless indicated as the order in which they should be performed. Method steps can be performed at least partially simultaneously or sequentially in time, and the order of method steps is not limited to the order defined by numbering, so individual steps can be performed in different orders. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps can be used.

[0013] Thus, the present invention essentially utilizes a multi-element, particularly a two-element, query of different location signals, with signals originating from different sources.

[0014] In a first step, the control unit receives a first position signal from a first signal source as a first closing criterion, which includes at least one lock position of a vehicle lock for a movable part. The lock position of the vehicle lock for the movable part is detected by the first signal source in the form of a position signal and interpreted as a first closing criterion for the movable part. According to the present invention, the control unit may be a (higher) control unit of the vehicle, a lock control unit, or a server. In any case, the control unit is connected to the first signal source by signal (wireless and / or wired).

[0015] In a further step, the control unit adds a conditional test command to the received first position signal, which includes checking at least one second position signal as a second closing criterion after detecting the first position signal, so that the first closing criterion is also met. The conditional test command thus serves to request at least one further closing criterion only when the first closing criterion is met, i.e., when the locked position of the vehicle lock is detected, and the first closing criterion must still be met. This is therefore an AND operation, not an OR operation, of the two signals. However, when the second closing criterion is queried / checked, the first closing criterion must still be met. This prevents alternate interrogations of the signal source, for example, preventing the output of a confirmation signal based on only one position signal. Therefore, detecting the locked position in which the lock locks the moving part is always the first prerequisite for outputting a confirmation signal.

[0016] In a further step, the control unit receives a second position signal from a second signal source as a second closure criterion. The second signal source is different from the first signal source, and the second position signal can be related to the position of the movable part, particularly the closed position. Therefore, the second signal source is different from the first signal source. This at least makes it more difficult to manipulate the signal. Even if the first signal source provides a position signal that confirms the locked position of the lock, the second signal source is used to verify the first closure criterion, for which a further signal from another signal source is required. For example, the second position signal may be independent of the locked position of the vehicle lock. It is important to note that, according to the present invention, the second position signal can also be related to the movable part, particularly the closed position of the movable part. Therefore, a relationship can be established between the position of the movable part, particularly the closed position, so that the closed position of the movable part can be estimated. This can be, for example, the position of the movable part relative to the vehicle body.

[0017] The control unit generates and outputs a confirmation signal only if it receives the second position signal and the second closure criterion is met, thereby confirming that the conditional test command has been fulfilled. Therefore, fulfillment of both closure criteria is absolutely essential for the output of the confirmation signal. According to the present invention, the confirmation signal is a signal indicating that the vehicle's moving parts are in the closed position. The confirmation signal can be an output signal, in particular an acoustic signal, a visual signal, and / or a tactile signal (vibration). The output signal can be used to prevent or limit other vehicle functions. For example, starting, launching, or accelerating the engine can affect or trigger other restrictions that prevent or slow down the vehicle's operation.

[0018] The invention thus has the advantage that it is possible to reliably detect the closure state of the moving parts of the vehicle, and furthermore to detect a fault or failure in at least one signal source.

[0019] Within the scope of the present invention, the movable part may be a side door, a sliding door, a wing door, a flap, a tank flap, a charging plug flap, a rear door, and / or a hood.

[0020] The control unit may have at least one computing unit for processing signals or data, at least one memory unit for storing signals or data, at least one interface to a signal source and / or at least one interface for inputting a position signal from the signal source or outputting a data or control signal to an output unit, and / or at least one communication interface for inputting or outputting data incorporated in a communication protocol. The computing unit may be, for example, a signal processor, a microcontroller, etc., and the memory unit may be a flash memory, an EEPROM, or a magnetic memory unit. The communication interface may be designed to input or output data wirelessly and / or via a wire (except for electrical), where a communication interface capable of inputting or outputting data via a wire (except for electrical) can input or output this data electronically or optically from or to a corresponding data transmission line. In particular, it is conceivable to locate the control unit and / or computing unit outside the vehicle. It makes sense to use IT infrastructure in the form of cloud computing or similar computer systems based on netting (except for metal or asbestos). Such a solution is advantageous, particularly in the case of vehicles that can be operated in an automated manner, since remote maintenance or remote control and monitoring is possible, and the risk of operating the vehicle can be reduced.

[0021] The control unit can be designed to run diagnostic routines, which can determine whether the signal source is operational or malfunctioning. Depending on the diagnostic routine, the system can be recalibrated if necessary, system parameters can be reset, or errors can be displayed to allow maintenance. In this way, relevant measurements of predetermined positions, preferably the main ratchet position, can be stored and compared with each other to detect deviations and draw conclusions about possible malfunctions. During the product's lifecycle, changes, especially those caused by wear and tear or external environmental influences, can be detected and included in the position determination. This increases the reliability of the position determination.

[0022] It is advantageous for the control unit to output an error signal if the first and / or second closure criteria are violated. If the first and / or second signal source does not transmit a position signal, or if the control unit does not receive such a signal, the error signal indicates that the closed position of the movable part does not exist, i.e., cannot be verified / guaranteed. This allows not only a positive determination that the movable part is in the closed position, but also a positive determination that the movable part is not in the closed position. It is also considered that the error signal can identify existing error sources, i.e., signal sources that do not provide a position signal. Therefore, possible operations can be determined, for example, unintended destructive effects can be detected, thereby further increasing reliability.

[0023] Within the scope of the present invention, the control unit can determine the time interval between the first and second position signals as a first time criterion and compare it with a second time criterion, preferably a fixed time criterion stored in the control unit. If the second time criterion violates (deviates from) the first time criterion, the control unit outputs a corresponding error signal. As a result, reliability can be further improved. The time check can be part of a conditional test command, meaning that the time criterion is checked for satisfaction within the conditional test command. A different, especially a too long, time interval between the two position signals can indicate a malfunction or an error.

[0024] According to the invention, the first signal source can be a locking mechanism sensor of the vehicle lock, in particular a pawl sensor, which preferably detects a locked position in which the pawl blocks the catch of the vehicle lock. The locking mechanism sensor according to the invention can be, for example, an inductively, capacitively, magnetically, or optically operated sensor. Furthermore, a microswitch or a Hall sensor can be used, in particular, to detect the position of the locking mechanism, in particular the locked position. The locked position can preferably be the pre-ratchet position and / or the main ratchet position of the locking mechanism. By assuming the locked position, in particular the pre-ratchet position and / or the main ratchet position, it can be determined whether the lock holder of the movable part is engaged with the locking mechanism of the vehicle lock, so that the first closing criterion is represented by the pre-ratchet position or the main ratchet position.

[0025] It is also conceivable that the second signal source is a contact switch that is inaccessible from outside the moving part. The contact switch is preferably a door contact switch, which detects the closed position of the door. Contact switches of this type are regularly arranged in the area of ​​the mounting or suspension of the moving part, or on the side opposite the mounting, where the vehicle lock is usually located. This invention is particularly advantageous when the contact switch is not accessible to personnel, so that its operation is at least made more difficult or prevented. For this purpose, the contact switch according to the invention may be arranged, for example, in the area of ​​the door mounting / door suspension and at least partially covered by parts of the vehicle body. Particularly preferably, multiple contact switches can be arranged at different positions on the moving part, so that incorrect or intentional activation is at least made more difficult.

[0026] It is advantageous if the first or second signal source is a closing assist device for a vehicle lock and / or a drive for a movable part. The closing assist device according to the present invention allows the locking mechanism of the vehicle lock to be moved from the pre-ratchet position to the main ratchet position. For this purpose, the closing assist device can be operatively coupled to or interact with the catch so that it can rotate about a rotation axis in the direction of the main ratchet. The drive device according to the present invention for a movable part can be designed, for example, as a drive device for a door and / or a rear door and can convert the movable part, preferably a door, from an open position to a closed position and vice versa. Furthermore, the drive device for a movable part can also be understood as a positioner for the movable part, which positioner can move the movable part from at least a closed position to a partially open position and / or vice versa. The drive device according to the present invention and / or the positioner according to the present invention regularly have a position sensor that allows the position of the movable part to be determined.

[0027] Within the scope of the present invention, the second signal source can be a lock holder sensor. The lock holder sensor of the present invention generates a reliable second position signal by detecting whether the movable part is in a closed position, particularly a locked position. It is particularly preferable that the lock holder sensor be located on the movable part or vehicle so that it is inaccessible to people from the outside or is not affected by the environment. This further reduces intentional or unintentional operation, thereby further improving reliability and safety.

[0028] According to the present invention, the second signal source is a force sensor that detects the sealing pressure of the movable part. In this case, the force sensor detects the pressure on the seal, particularly the pressure generated by the closed state of the movable part in the form of door sealing pressure. The seal may be located on the movable part or on the vehicle. The force sensor may be located on the seal and / or at least partially within the seal. The force sensor may be located on / in the seal selectively or over the entire periphery. In this way, the force sensor can detect the closed position of the movable part and provide a second position signal that can be reliably used as a second closing criterion. This is particularly advantageous in that the force sensor is essentially protected from destructive environmental influences, thereby increasing reliability and reducing the possibility of failure.

[0029] The second signal source may be an image acquisition unit of the vehicle, which detects the position of the movable part. The image acquisition unit may be arranged on and / or inside the vehicle, for example on the rear door or on a rear-view mirror. In particular, the image acquisition unit may form part of the rear-view mirror. The image acquisition unit may, for example, be designed as a camera and may capture an image of at least a portion of the movable part, thereby detecting the closed position of at least one of the movable parts. In this case, it is particularly advantageous that the image acquisition unit cannot be brought into the closed position by operating it from the outside. A correspondingly reliable second signal source is provided, by means of which the closed position of the movable part can be detected.

[0030] It is advantageous if the second signal source is a displacement sensor for the moving part, which measures the distance between the moving part and the vehicle. The displacement sensor can be located, for example, in the hinge of the moving part or inside the moving part itself. The sensor measures the distance between the moving part and the vehicle, particularly the distance or position covered after the moving part moves. Thus, the position of the moving part, particularly the closed position, can be determined, providing a reliable second closure criterion.

[0031] Within the scope of the present invention, a secure transmission channel with end-to-end encryption can be established / exist between the control unit and at least the first signal source and / or the second signal source, which can reduce manipulation and increase reliability.

[0032] According to another aspect of the invention, a computer program product is claimed. The computer program product according to the invention comprises an executable program code which, when executed by a data processing apparatus, performs the method according to the invention. The program code is preferably stored on a machine-readable medium or storage medium, such as a semiconductor memory, a hard disk memory or an optical memory, and is used to execute, perform and / or control the steps of the method according to the invention, the program product or computer program being stored in particular in a computer or apparatus, for example in a control unit.

[0033] According to another aspect of the present invention, what is claimed is a machine-readable medium storing the claimed computer program product.

[0034] Another aspect of the invention claims a vehicle lock system for detecting a closed position of a movable part of a vehicle, comprising a vehicle lock for locking the movable part to the vehicle, a second signal source, and a control unit having a data processing device, in particular a non-volatile computer readable storage medium, wherein the vehicle lock can be mounted on the movable part or on the vehicle, and the vehicle lock has at least one lock mechanism sensor as a first signal source for detecting at least one first position signal, in particular in the form of a locked position of the lock mechanism, and the second signal source detects a second position signal different from the first signal source and corresponding to the movable part, and wherein the storage medium has stored thereon a computer program product according to the invention, and the data processing device is designed to execute at least the program code of the computer program product.

[0035] The second signal source is preferably designed as claimed in at least one of the dependent claims of the method according to the invention and / or as described in connection therewith.

[0036] Further means for improving the present invention will become apparent from the following description of some exemplary embodiments of the invention, which are illustrated diagrammatically in the drawings. All of the features and / or advantages arising from the claims, the specification or the drawings, including structural details, spatial arrangements and method steps, are essential to the invention, both in themselves and in their most diverse combinations. It should be noted that the drawings are merely illustrative in nature and are not intended to limit the invention in any way. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0037] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a vehicle having an exemplary embodiment of a vehicle locking system according to the invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 shows a possible exemplary embodiment of a vehicle locking system according to the invention. Detailed Description

[0038] FIG. 1 shows a vehicle 100 having a vehicle locking system according to the present invention for movable parts 110 of the vehicle. The movable parts 110 of the vehicle 100 are shown in FIG. 1 as a rear door 110, a hood 110, and a side door 110. A vehicle locking system 10 according to the present invention may be associated with each of these movable parts 110. To this end, the movable parts 110 may have a vehicle lock 11 used to lock the movable parts 110 to the vehicle 100. Accordingly, within the scope of the present invention, the vehicle lock 11 may be designed as a side door lock, a rear door lock, and / or a hood lock. The side door of FIG. 1 thus has a vehicle lock 11, which is signal-connected to the control unit 20 and a closing assist device 30. According to the present invention, the closing assist device 30 serves, inter alia, to move the locking mechanism of the vehicle lock 11 from the pre-ratchet position to the main ratchet position. The closing assist device 30 may also be provided according to the present invention as a second signal source. The second position signal can be detected via the closing assist device 30, which generates a second position signal when the main ratchet position is reached, reflecting the locked and closed position of the movable part 110, in this case the side door. In addition to the locking mechanism sensor of the vehicle lock 11, the second position signal provided by the closing assist device 30 can also be used together with the first position signal of the locking mechanism sensor of the vehicle lock 11 to determine the closed position of the movable part (i.e., in this case the side door 110). In one embodiment, the control unit 20 is located in the side door 110. However, according to the present invention, the control unit 20 can be located anywhere in the vehicle. It can be the control unit of the motor vehicle lock 11 or a superordinate control unit for the vehicle.

[0039] 1 also shows a drive 40 for opening and closing the movable part 110. Door drives 40 of this type are already well known in the prior art. The drive 40 can move the movable part at least to an open position or a closed position. At the same time, the position of the movable part can be determined via the drive 40. For this purpose, a position sensor can be provided in the drive 40. The drive 40 for opening and closing the movable part 110 is also signal-connected to the control unit 20.

[0040] Contact switches 50 on the two side doors 110 of the vehicle 100 are also shown in FIG. 1 as an example. The contact switches 50 according to the present invention can be used as a second position signal source. When the contact switches 50 are in their closed position, they are contacted by the movable part 110, thereby ensuring the closed position of the movable part 110 (in this case, the side doors). According to the present invention, the contact switches 50 are preferably arranged on the movable part 110 or on the vehicle body of the vehicle 100 so that operation from at least the outside is more difficult. For this purpose, the contact switches 50 are preferably arranged outside the user's accessible area. At the same time, the contact switches 50 are preferably designed so that their operation is triggered only when the movable part is in the closed position. This ensures that the second position signal is generated by the contact switches 50 only when the vehicle doors 110 are closed. According to the present invention, the contact switches 50 are also signal-connected to the control unit 20, which is shown in dashed lines.

[0041] 1 also shows an image acquisition unit 80, which can detect a second position signal, and can detect the position of the movable part 110. In particular, the image acquisition unit 80 is designed so that at least one closed position of the movable part 110 is determined by the image acquisition unit 80. This allows the image acquisition unit 80 to generate the closed position of the movable part 110 as a second position signal for verifying the closed position of the movable part 110. According to the present invention, the image acquisition unit 80 is also signal-connected to the control unit 20, and can transmit the second position signal from the image acquisition unit 80 to the control unit 20.

[0042] FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a vehicle locking system 10 according to the present invention. The vehicle locking system comprises a vehicle lock 11 having a locking mechanism 13, the locking mechanism 13 being composed of at least one catch and at least one pawl. A locking mechanism sensor 12 is associated with the locking mechanism 13, and the locked position of the locking mechanism 13 can be detected by the locking mechanism sensor 12. The locking mechanism 13 is used to lock movable parts of the vehicle, particularly the side doors, rear doors, hood, and sliding doors, to the vehicle body. The locked state thus corresponds to a closed position of the movable parts, and the locking mechanism further secures the closed position of the movable parts. For this purpose, the locking mechanism, particularly the catch of the locking mechanism, engages with a lock holder, which is preferably arranged on the vehicle body. However, it is also conceivable to arrange the vehicle lock 11 on the vehicle or vehicle body and, accordingly, to arrange the lock holder on the movable parts. This is achieved, for example, by a hood lock.

[0043] The vehicle lock 11 is signal-connected to the control unit 20, with the data connections shown here by dashed lines. Also associated with the vehicle lock 11 in Figure 2 is a lock holder sensor, on which a lock holder sensor according to the invention is arranged so as to be able to detect the position of the lock holder in the vehicle lock 11. In particular, the lock holder sensor 60 is able to detect the position of the lock holder, which corresponds to the locked position of the lock holder with the lock mechanism 13. The lock holder sensor 60 and the lock mechanism sensor 12 therefore emit two position signals which are sent to the data processing device.

[0044] 2 further shows a closing assist device 30 operatively connected to the vehicle lock 11, in particular the locking mechanism 13. The closing assist device 30 can thus be used to move the locking mechanism from the pre-ratchet position to the main ratchet position. It is also conceivable that the closing assist device 30 can verify the closed position of the movable part using a third position signal. Thus, the control unit 20 can verify the closed position of the movable part using at least three position signals.
