具体实施方式
按照要求，在此公开本发明的具体实施例；然而，应当理解，所公开的实施例仅为本发明的示例，该示例可以包含各种可选形式。附图不一定是具体设计；某些图可能放大或缩小，以便整体显示功能。因此，在此公开的具体结构和功能描述不解释为限制，而是仅作为有代表性的基础，用于教导本领域的技术人员多样地实施本发明。
参照图1和图2，其总体上表示机动车辆10内部的乘客室，根据一个实施例，其具有一对灯和开关总成20和多个安装在头顶控制台12的接近开关24。车辆10总体上包括组装在乘客室顶部的车顶或天花板下侧的顶篷上的头顶控制台12，该头顶控制台12总体上在前排乘客座位区的上方。每对灯和开关总成20提供灯和接近开关的整体组装，用于激活光源使等打开或关闭。每个灯和接近开关总成20包括具有灯透明窗的透镜、设置在透镜后方使光线穿过透镜的透明窗照射的光源以及具有一个或多个设置在透镜的透明窗边缘附近并邻近透镜的透明场产生激活场的接近传感器，用于感应接近开关的激活，以控制光源的激活。用户可以用激活与灯和开关总成20一体的接近开关激活光源。根据一个实施例，灯可以作为内部地图或阅读灯，为车辆10提供内部照明。灯和开关总成20还可以作为顶灯为车辆10提供内部照明。应当理解，灯可以作为车辆的内部照明用于其他用途，并且灯和开关总成20可以位于车辆10的任何位置。例如，灯和开关总成20可以位于顶篷、遮盖、握柄、中心控制台或车辆10的任何位置。
根据一个实施例，在此示出并描述的每个灯和开关总成20中提供的接近开关为电容开关。每个接近开关包括一个或多个接近传感器，其提供感应激活场以感应物体的接触或靠近，例如，用户的手指，靠近一个或多个接近传感器，例如由用户的手指轻拍或挥动动作。因此，在示例性实施例中，由每个接近开关的接近传感器产生的感应激活场为电容场，并且使用者的手指具有引起感应激活场变化或干扰的导电性和介电性，这对那些本领域的技术人员来说是很显然的。然而，本领域技术人员还应该认识到的是，可以使用其他的或可选择的类型的接近开关，例如但不限于电感式传感器、光学传感器、温度传感器、电阻式传感器等等或它们的结合。2009年4月9日爱特梅尔公司
的10620 D-AT42-04/09触摸式传感器设计指南（Touch SensorsDesign Guide）中描述了示例性的接近传感器，该文献在这里以参考引用的方式结合于此。
还示出多个设置在头顶控制台12上彼此靠近的开关24。各种接近开关24可以控制任何数量的车辆设备和功能，例如控制天窗16的移动、控制天窗罩18的移动、控制一个或多个诸如内部地图/阅读和顶灯32的照明设备的启动以及各种其他的设备和功能。然而，应当理解，接近开关24可以位于车辆10的任何地方，例如在仪表板上、在例如中央控制台的其他控制台上、集成到用于诸如导航和/或音频播放的收音机或信息娱乐系统的触摸屏显示器中，或根据各种车辆应用位于车辆10的任何其他地方。根据一个实施例，在此示出并描述的接近开关24为电容开关。每个接近开关24包括至少一个提供感应启动场的接近传感器，以感应用户相对于一个或多个接近传感器的接触或靠近，例如用户的手指划动的动作。因此，在示例性实施例中，每个接近开关22的感应启动场是电容场，用户的手指具有引起感应启动场中的变化和扰动的电导率和介电性能，这对于本领域的技术人员来说应当是显而易见的。
参考图3和图4，其总体上表示灯和开关总成，该灯和开关总成具有由透明材料制成的透镜32，作为头顶控制台12的部分的整体成型。透镜的透明窗32是光透性的，以允许可视光波穿过透明窗32。灯或光源34设置在透镜的透明窗32上方，使光线穿过透镜的透明窗32照射。根据一个实施例，光源34可以包括安装在电路板36上的发光二极管（LED）。根据其他实施例，可以应用其他光源，例如白炽灯泡或一个或多个光源的组合。根据一个实施例，透镜32可以作为头顶控制台12的部分整体成型，并且具有形成于其上的透明窗。在该实施例中，透明窗32可以作为头顶控制台12的部分成型或形成于头顶控制台12的聚合物材料中。根据其他实施例，透镜32可以作为单独组件形成，并安装在头顶控制台12上。在这样的实施例中，透镜32可以通过紧固件、粘合剂或其他安装连接固定安装在头顶控制台12上，并且通常不会相对于头顶控制台12移动。
灯和接近开关总成20包括位于靠近透镜的透明窗32边缘的接近开关22。接近开关22具有一个或多个接近传感器40，用于产生邻近透明窗32的激活场44，以感应接近开关22的激活，控制光源34的激活。在所示实施例中，具有单个接近传感器40的接近开关22实质上围绕透镜的透明窗32。在该实施例中，接近开关22实质上围绕透镜32，以产生如图4所示通常实质上穿过透镜32的整个底部表面的激活场44。
根据一个实施例，接近传感器40基底上涂覆有传导墨水，如透镜32的边缘头顶控制台12的上部所示。传导墨水形成用于提供产生激活场44的电容的电极。应当理解，电容传感器的其他形式可以用于产生激活场44。应当理解，由接近开关22产生的激活场44在透镜的透明窗32下方延伸，使物体例如用户的手指70、手或其他肢体进入激活场44，以激活光源34打开或关闭。当例如手指70的物体充分进入激活场44时，检测激活场44中的干扰，使得开始开关的激活，以便将光源34打开或将光源34关闭。
应当理解，激活场44通常限于在透镜的透明窗32下方区域，以使其不干扰邻近的接近开关24。所示接近开关24组装在灯总成20附近的头顶控制台12。每个接近开关24都具有接近传感器25，该接近传感器25可以用涂覆于基底，例如聚合头顶控制台12的上表面上的传导墨水形成。应当理解，接近传感器25还可以作为预装配垫形成。接近开关24设置于距离灯和开关总成20充分远。
参考图5和图6，根据另一实施例示出了灯和开关总成20，其中，接近开关22设置在透镜的内部区域，在透明窗32的不干扰来自光源34的穿过透镜的光传播路径的边缘附近。在该实施例中，在透镜内围绕透镜边缘的对侧提供接近开关22。光源34设置在透镜的透明窗32上方，以使光线穿过透镜32的透明窗照射。通过将接近开关40安装在透镜上，而不是透明窗32的外部，可以提供整体形成的透镜和接近开关。接近开关22具有在透镜32的透明窗下方区域产生激活场44的接近传感器40，让物体例如用户的手指70、手或其他肢体激活光源34打开或关闭。
参考图7，其示出了根据第一实施例的单个传感器设置的单个接近开关和灯总成及其相关电路。第一和第二电线56和58向第一和第二交叉电容指状物52和54提供电信号，所述指状物产生用户激活场44的电容。第一导线56可以接收脉冲驱动信号，同时导线58输出与电容成比例的电压。交叉电容指状物52和54形成实质上围绕透镜的透明窗32边缘延伸的电容传感器40，以便提供实质上覆盖透镜的透明窗32的激活场44。电容传感器40可以用使用传导墨水形成的传导垫提供。
参考图8，其表示根据第二实施例的灯和接近开关总成20具有两个接近开关40A和40B。在该实施例中，由电极52和54在透镜的透明窗32的一侧提供第一接近开关传感器40A，同时由电极52和54在透镜的透明窗32的相对的第二侧提供第二电容开关传感器40B。向每个电极52和54提供来自导线56和58的电信号，以产生电容。第一和第二电容传感器40A和40B分别产生激活场44A和44B。电容传感器40A和40B可以作为贴在透镜、装饰面板或头顶控制台12上的衬垫形成。激活场44A和44B可以以所需形式在实质上朝向透镜的透明窗32的中心的区域中产生。当用户的手指或其他物体充分进入其中一个或两个激活场44A和44B时，可以发生接近开关的激活。根据一个实施例，开关总成20配置为只有在物体充分进入第一和第二激活场44A和44B时才激活灯，从而需要物体靠近灯的透明窗32的中心的区域。
参考图9，其表示根据采用四个接近开关传感器40A-40D的第三实施例的灯和接近开关总成20。接近传感器40A-40D分别在透镜的透明窗32的不同的四分之一处产生四个激活场44A-44D。每个激活场44A-44D的产生实质上都朝向透明透镜的中心延伸。因此，四个激活场44A-44D实质上覆盖了透镜的透明窗32。通过采用四个传感器垫，提供增强的灵活性以调节接近传感器40A-40D，因此接近开关22的切换能防止非故意的启动。例如，当其他电容开关，例如开关24，位于透镜32附近时，可以调整施加于邻近传感器例如传感器40B的电荷信号的突发长度，缩短突发长度，以给出减少的可测量的信号，同时可以增加不与其他开关邻近的传感器的信号突发长度，已给出增加的可测量的信号，从而产生远离邻近开关24的激活场。这具有通过降低更靠近其他开关24的一侧的一个或多个传感器的灵敏度，减少非故意的启动的效果，用于提供足够的灵敏度以提供对于整个透镜32的覆盖范围。应当理解，可以实现调节激活场的强度或形状的其他方式，以便在不干扰邻近开关24的情况下提供所需的激活信号。
因此，灯和接近开关总成20有优势地提供一种易于使用的整体接近开关和灯设置，特别在机动车中。接近开关可以易于由物体的接触和靠近激活，例如，由接近开关与用户手指的关系打开或关闭灯。接近开关围绕透镜的透明窗边缘的设置允许透明窗以成本有效的方式节省开关总成材料。
应当理解，可以对上述结构做出改变和修改，而不偏离本发明的概念，并且还应当理解，这种概念应由权利要求覆盖，除非权利要求的文字明确地另外指明。
