Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung schlägt ein Transponder-System für ein Fahrzeug vor.The present invention proposes a transponder system for a vehicle.
Es gibt Entwicklungen für passive Fahrzeug-Zugangssysteme, bei denen berechtigte Personen Zugang zu einem Fahrzeug dadurch erhalten, dass sie einen elektronischen Schlüssel an das Fahrzeug innerhalb eines bestimmten Bereichs heranführen. Der elektronische Schlüssel, der eine Chipkarte oder eine ähnliche Vorrichtung sein kann, beinhaltet normalerweise einen Transponder, der innerhalb dieses bestimmten Bereichs von der Bordelektronik erregt werden kann oder wird. Die Bordelektronik beinhaltet ein Sendeempfänger-System, welches so entworfen ist, dass es ein magnetisches Feld erzeugt, welches den Transponder des Schlüssels erregt. Der Sendeempfänger und der Schlüssel sind dann in der Lage, Sicherheitskennungen auszutauschen, welche dazu benutzt werden können, um zu bestimmen, ob Zugang für den Träger des Schlüssels erlaubt werden soll.There are developments for passive vehicle access systems where Authorized persons can gain access to a vehicle by electronic key to the vehicle within a certain range bring up. The electronic key, which is a chip card or similar Device typically includes a transponder that is inside this specific area can or will be excited by the on-board electronics. The on-board electronics include a transceiver system, which is designed in this way is that it creates a magnetic field, which is the transponder of the key excited. The transceiver and the key are then able to Exchange security identifiers that can be used to determine whether access should be allowed to the key wearer.
Die Sendeempfänger enthalten Antennen, wobei sie insbesondere eine Doppelantenne in einem Sendeempfänger-Gehäuse enthalten können. Ein Sendeempfänger mit Doppelantennen wird an einer geeigneten Stelle im Fahrzeug, wie z.B. in der Rückspiegeleinheit, angebracht. Es wurden jedoch bei Konfigurationen mit Doppelantennen Schwierigkeiten beobachtet, wobei das magnetische Feld, das von den Antennen des Sendeempfängers erzeugt wird, oft eine vergleichsweise begrenzte Reichweite hat, was in bestimmten Fällen dazu führen kann, dass der Transponder des Schlüssels nicht erregt wird, wenn der Transponder anders als die Doppelantennen ausgerichtet ist. Bei Sendeempfängern mit Doppelantennen wurden erhebliche Verluste beobachtet, wobei vermutet wird, dass das Feld, welches von den beiden Antennen erzeugt wird, einen auslöschenden Effekt auf das Feld der jeweils anderen Antenne hat. Eine der Antennen benötigt eventuell einen Ferritkern, damit die Leistung entsprechend gesteigert wird. Es wird gewünscht, diese Probleme zu verringern oder zumindest eine nützliche Alternative zu bieten. The transceivers contain antennas, in particular one Dual antenna can be contained in a transceiver housing. On Transceivers with double antennas are located at a suitable point in the vehicle, such as. in the rearview mirror unit. However, there were Difficulties observed with configurations with double antennas, the magnetic field, which is generated by the antennas of the transceiver, often has a comparatively limited range, which in certain cases does this lead that the key transponder is not excited when the Transponder is oriented differently than the double antennas. For transceivers Considerable losses were observed with double antennas, whereby it is assumed that the field generated by the two antennas is an extinguishing one Effect on the field of the other antenna. One of the antennas needed possibly a ferrite core, so that the performance is increased accordingly. It will wanted to alleviate these problems or at least be a useful alternative to offer.
Die vorliegende Erfindung schlägt ein Transponder-System für ein Fahrzeug vor, welches einen Sendeempfänger mit zumindest zwei Antennen enthält, wobei jede Antenne eine Antennenrichtung definiert, dadurch ausgezeichnet, dass die Antennen voneinander getrennt im Fahrzeug angebracht sind, wobei die Richtungen der Antennen im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zueinander sind.The present invention proposes a transponder system for a vehicle, which contains a transceiver with at least two antennas, each Antenna defines an antenna direction, characterized in that the Antennas are mounted separately in the vehicle, with the directions the antennas are substantially perpendicular to each other.
Bevorzugte Realisierungen der vorliegenden Erfindung sind anschließend mit
Bezug auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen als Beispiel beschrieben, wobei:
Ein Transponder-System für ein Fahrzeug, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, enthält ein
Sendeempfänger-System 2, welches ein Gehäuse 4 hat, welches die gesamte
Elektronik 6 zum Erregen eines Transponders in einem entfernten elektronischen
Schlüssel enthält. Das Sendeempfängergehäuse kann in bestimmten Fällen in
bestehende Komponenten des Fahrzeuges nicht sichtbar eingebaut werden, zum
Beispiel in die Rückspiegeleinheit oder in einen hinteren Türgriff. Das
Sendeempfängergehäuse 4 enthält außer der Elektronik die erste Antenne 10.
Alternativ dazu kann die Antenne 10 ein eigenes separates Gehäuse haben. Die
Antenne 10 kann in die Rückspiegeleinheit oder in einen hinteren Türgriff
eingebaut sein, während das Sendeempfängergehäuse an der Karosserie angebracht
ist. Die Antenne 10 beinhaltet eine Drahtspule 12 und einen Widerstand 13. Sie
wird benutzt, um ein magnetisches Feld zum Erregen des Transponders im
Schlüssel zu erzeugen. Die Antennenspule 12 ist so angeordnet, dass sie eine
Antennen- oder Feldrichtung, wie durch den Pfeil 14 angezeigt, festlegt. Der
Sendeempfänger kann entweder ständig aktiv sein oder er wird durch die
Bordelektronik des Fahrzeuges angesteuert und aufgefordert, den Transponder zu
erregen. Die Bordelektronik kann den Sendeempfänger zum Beispiel ansteuern,
wenn erkannt wird, dass ein Türgriff bewegt wurde. Sobald der Schlüssel erregt
wird, kommuniziert er mit dem Sendeempfänger, um Sicherheitskennungen
auszutauschen, welche dazu dienen festzustellen, ob Zugangsberechtigung besteht. A transponder system for a vehicle, as shown in FIG. 1, contains a
Der Sendeempfänger 2 enthält darüber hinaus zwei Anschlussdrähte 16 am
Gehäuse 4, an welche eine zweite Antenne 18, die sich an einem anderen Ort im
Fahrzeug befindet, angeschlossen wird. Die zweite Antenne 18 enthält ebenfalls
eine Spule 20 und einen Widerstand 22, die Spule 20 legt eine Antennen- oder
Feldrichtung, wie durch den Pfeil 24 angezeigt, fest. Durch Anordnung der beiden
Antennen 10 und 18 an voneinander getrennten Orten und durch Anordnung der
Richtungen 14 und 24 so, dass sie im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zueinander sind,
zeigt der Sendeempfänger einen deutlichen Leistungsgewinn von bis zu 20 bis 30%
im Vergleich zu den bekannten Doppel-Antennenspulen für Fahrzeuge. Die
Reichweite des magnetischen Feldes, das durch die Antennen erzeugt wird, erhöht
sich wesentlich, so dass die Fähigkeit, den Transponder in einem Schlüssel, der sich
an verschiedenen Orten befinden kann, zu erregen, in bedeutendem Maße verbessert
wird, so dass Ferritkerne für die Spulen wegfallen können.The
Die Antennen 10 und 18 können sich an verschiedenen Stellen befinden, wie in
Figur 2 gezeigt. Wenn zum Beispiel die erste Antenne 10 im
Sendeempfängergehäuse 4 sich in einer Außenspiegeleinheit 32 vorne am Fahrzeug
befindet, dann könnte sich die zweite Antenne 18 in einem nebenliegenden
vorderen Türgriff 34 befinden, oder alternativ in der Nähe in einer Gummi- oder
Chrom-Zierleiste, welche sich zum Beispiel an einem Außenblech des Fahrzeuges
30 befindet. Wenn die erste Antenne 10 in dem Sendeempfängergehäuse 4 sich im
Fahrzeugheck befindet, zum Beispiel in einem hinteren Türgriff 38, dann kann die
zweite Antenne 18 entweder in einem nebenliegenden hinteren Radkasten 40 oder
in dem hinteren Stoßfänger 42 angebracht sein. Die erste Antenne 10 kann
ebenfalls in einer Zierleiste 36 sein und die zweite Antenne 18 entweder in einem
nebenliegenden hinteren Radkasten 40 oder*1 in dem hinteren Stoßfänger 42. Die
Antennen 10 und 18 können sich ebenfalls in den Rückleuchten 44 bzw. 46
befinden. The
Die Antennen 10 und 18 sind am Fahrzeug getrennt voneinander angebracht.
Darüber hinaus müssen sie so angeordnet sein, dass sie zusammen ein elliptisches
polarisiertes magnetisches Feld zum Erregen des Transponders des Schlüssels
erzeugen. Es gibt eine optimale Entfernung zwischen den Antennen 10 und 18,
welche groß genug ist, um den Auslöschungseffekt zu vermeiden und klein
genug, um sicherzustellen, dass das elliptische polarisierte magnetische Feld
erzeugt wird. Sie hängt dabei von den Materialien und Bauteilen, die in Fahrzeug
und Schlüssel verbaut sind, ab.The
Dem Fachkundigen werden hierzu eine Vielzahl von Änderungen gegenwärtig werden, ohne dass der Umfang der vorliegenden Erfindung, wie sie hiermit unter Bezug auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen beschrieben wird, überschritten wird.A large number of changes are currently being made to the person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention, as hereby under Described with reference to the accompanying drawings is exceeded.
Die Bezugszahlen in den folgenden Ansprüchen begrenzen in keiner Weise den Umfang der entsprechenden Ansprüche.The reference numbers in the following claims in no way limit the Scope of the corresponding claims.
