TOP WITH ADAPTIVE MAGNETIC LOCKING MECHANISM LUGGAGE RACK SYSTEM

Abstract

The present invention relates to overhead luggage racks used in road passenger vehicles and is a system specifically designed to enhance the safety of luggage racks with lids. The system comprises a luggage rack body, a lid panel attached to this body, a hinge system enabling the opening and closing of the lid panel, and a locking mechanism that holds the lid panel in the closed position. Within the scope of the invention, the system includes at least one sensor that detects vibration and / or acceleration data related to vehicle movement, and a data processing module and / or control unit that processes the data obtained from these sensors. The locking force applied by the locking mechanism is dynamically adjusted by the control unit based on the sensor data. This ensures that the lid panel can be easily opened under low vibration conditions, while remaining securely closed under high vibration and sudden acceleration conditions.Thus, the system adapts to the vehicle dynamics, thereby enhancing passenger safety and improving user comfort.

1 TARIFF 5 TOP WITH ADAPTIVE MAGNETIC LOCKING MECHANISM LUGGAGE RACK SYSTEM Technological Field: This invention relates to interior fittings used in road passenger vehicles, in particular. The safety of the luggage racks with lids located above the passenger seats is 10 It is related to adaptive locking systems aimed at increasing performance. State of the Art: The overhead luggage racks used in current road passenger vehicles are generally open racks. It is structured in a way that does not include any cover or active locking mechanism. This The situation involves the effects of sudden braking, vibration, and acceleration that occur during vehicle movement. 15 This can cause luggage to fall off the rack, posing a risk to passenger safety. They consist of. Covered systems are used especially in the aviation sector, and The locking mechanisms in these systems are generally based on a fixed locking force. They are designed. However, such systems face the constantly varying conditions encountered in road vehicles. It is unable to adapt to vibration and acceleration conditions. Therefore, the current technology 20 Solutions that offer both safety and ease of use under varying vehicle dynamics. It falls short in this respect. The purpose of this invention is to make luggage rack covers used in road passenger vehicles more durable. safely depending on the vibrations and / or acceleration changes that occur during its movement to ensure it remains closed and also under normal operating conditions user 25 an overhead luggage rack system that ensures it can be easily opened. The aim is to improve; in this regard, vibration and / or acceleration detected through sensors. automatically adjusts the force applied by the locking mechanism based on the data. by adjusting and adapting to varying vehicle dynamics, thereby ensuring both passenger safety. an adaptive locking mechanism that both increases and improves user comfort 30 The aim is to create it.

Control software Description of the Invention: 25 The system described in the invention consists of an upper luggage rack body (1), which moves in connection with this body. a cover panel (2) that can be opened and closed, hinge that enables the cover panel (2) to be opened and closed adaptive locking system (3) and cover panel (2) which keeps the closed position It consists of the mechanism (4); the locking mechanism (4) in question, It is configured to be connected to the electromagnetic control unit (5) and 30 interacting with the metal plate (11) which is the lock strike located on the cover panel (2) It performs the locking operation. The system also detects vibrations caused by vehicle movement. and / or at least one vibration frequency positioned to detect acceleration effects It includes an electrical sensor (6) and / or at least one accelerometer (7), these sensors are electrical It is connected to the data processing module (8) via connection cables (12) and data processing 35 Module (8) also operates in conjunction with the electromagnetic control unit (5); control software located within the data processing module (8) and / or control unit (5) 3 (20) by processing the data obtained from the sensors, the electromagnetic control unit (5) 5 It enables the determination of the output characteristic. The control unit (5) receives information from the sensors. magnitude and / or time-dependent variation of the obtained vibration and / or acceleration data locking force created by the adaptive locking mechanism (4) according to its speed It is configured to adjust automatically, and in this context, the system threshold Using base and / or proportional control principles, the locking force is applied by at least two different 10 It is designed to generate a variable level or continuously variable sensor. Depending on the increase in the data, the signal transmitted to the control unit (5) is changed and Accordingly, the magnetic field strength created by the locking mechanism (4) It is directly affected. This enables low vibration and low acceleration operation. By applying a lower locking force under these conditions, the cover panel (2) user 15 while ensuring easy opening, high vibration or sudden acceleration by applying increased locking force in cases where changes occur The cover panel (2) is prevented from opening unintentionally. The cover panel (2) By using a soft closing damper (9) during the closing movement, impact and Noise effects are reduced, and the cover panel is made to move in a balanced manner. 20 In order to achieve this, the cover balancing spring (19) is integrated into the system and the overall vibration of the system Vibration damping elements (18) are used to improve its behavior. The system is configured in a user-controlled manner and allows user access. Access to the cover panel (2) via the handle (10) and the manual opening button (13). can be provided and an information warning indicator (14) 25 regarding the operating status of the system. It is transmitted to the user via the system components modular mounting rail (15) It is designed to be fixed to the vehicle's interior structure via a device, and the system's energy requirement power supply is provided via connection (16) in case of power outage or system failure In order to enable the cover panel (2) to be opened in such situations, the safety override The mechanism (17) is integrated into the system. The system detects vibration and / or acceleration 30 This can be achieved through different application variations based on its principles, The locking mechanism has electromagnetic or equivalent force generation principles. It is expandable in a way that can be implemented with alternative structures, and these structural features Thanks to this, the system adapts to the varying dynamic conditions encountered in road vehicles. by ensuring that the cover panel (2) is kept securely closed and 35 It offers a solution that optimizes both user comfort and safety.
