摘要:
The invention relates to a sensor arrangement for the capacitive sensing of approximations close to a motor vehicle (1), comprising a capacitive sensor electrode (2, 3; 25) and at least one control and evaluation device (4) which is coupled to the sensor electrode and which senses a change in the capacitance of the sensor electrode. Said sensor electrode (2, 3; 25) is an elongate flat electrode, wherein in the longitudinal direction of the sensitive electrode, first electrode sections (a) having a first surface width and a first deformability alternate with second sections (b) having a second, narrower surface width and a second deformability such that electrode surfaces, which have different levels of deformability, have different measurements and which are continuously conductive and joined, are formed. A deformable and electrically insulating sheathing (30; 40) surrounds the sensor electrode.
摘要:
In order to trigger functions in a vehicle, two sensors (20, 30) which cooperate with one another are used in the interior of an activator (10), said sensors (20, 30) being a proximity sensor (20) with a capacitive electrode (21) and a pressure sensor (30) with a pressure-measuring element (31). The intention is that the pressure-measuring element (31) will be acted on when pressure is applied manually (44) to an application point (43) on the outside of the actuator (10). In order to improve the method of functioning, it is proposed that the electrode (21) of the proximity sensor (20) be provided with a breakthrough (22) and that the pressure transmission between the application point (43) on the actuator (10) and the pressure-measuring element (31) be led through the breakthrough (22) in the electrode (21). The space between the application point (43) and the pressure-measuring element (31) is spanned by a pressure-transmitting means (50) which passes through the breakthrough (22). The adverse effect of this arrangement on the method of functioning of the proximity sensor (20) is no greater than that of the pressure-measuring element (31), (figure 1).

摘要:
The invention relates to a sensor device for a motor vehicle, comprising a multi-layer circuit board (2), on which a plurality of metallization levels are formed. A capacitive sensor electrode is formed on one of the metallization levels for detection by means of capacitive proximity sensing. A control device (3) controls the sensor electrode as a capacitive sensor electrode in order to detect approaches of a user toward the sensor electrode by means of an evaluating device. At least one planar electrode region (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) is formed on each of a plurality of the metallization levels, wherein each of the electrode regions is coupled to the control device (3). At least two of the electrode regions on different metallization levels are controlled and evaluated as sensor electrodes in alternation in time, and at least two of the electrode regions on different metallization levels are controlled and evaluated as a ground in alternation in time.
