摘要:
An arrangement for operating a wiper includes a sensor for detecting a wetting state of a pane and outputting a sensor signal based thereon, an evaluator for receiving the sensor signal from the sensor, and evaluating the sensor signal, and an actuator for actuating the wiper, the actuator being actuated by the evaluator to produce one of a plurality of wiping modes, including a stage II wiping mode for heavy wetting conditions. The evaluator includes an evaluation stage for determining whether a degree of wetting corresponding to a stage II wiping condition occurs after a prolonged wiping break, for example after passing through a tunnel, and a processing stage. If a degree of wetting corresponding to a stage II wiping condition is determined to occur after a prolonged wiping break, the processing stage is actuated by the evaluation stage to cause a change-over to stage II wiping within a shorter time period than in a case where a prolonged wiping break is not present for a comparable degree of wetting.
摘要:
A device for checking the evaluation circuit for automatic switching operations of the illumination devices in vehicles. A sensor device contains a global sensor for detecting the light conditions in the environment of the vehicle and a directional sensor for the directed detection of the light conditions in the direction of travel in front of the vehicle. The signals of the sensor device are supplied to the evaluation circuit, to determine whether a change in the switching state of the illumination devices is necessary. In order to check the evaluation circuit which is designed using analog technology, in the operating state, the voltage supply to the sensor unit is briefly interrupted at predetermined intervals, as a result of which the condition “night” is simulated. When the evaluation circuit is functioning correctly, this is detected by it as such. When the evaluation circuit is not functioning correctly, a signal is generated, directing attention to the faulty functioning and causing further steps to be initiated. In an embodiment, the checking operation and the voltage interruption are carried out by a microcontroller. In a second checking operation, it is established, in particular in the software, whether the emitted signal values of the evaluation circuit do not exceed a lower value that is determined by the hardware. In a third checking operation, the correct functioning of the A/D converter unit is ascertained.

摘要:
A sensor arrangement for detecting a wetting, in particular a precipitation and dirt accumulation, on a window (13) is proposed, with at least one transmitter (14) and at least one receiver (15) for the transmitter light (17) emitted by the transmitters (14), where the transmitters (14) and receivers (15) are disposed on the vertex points of an imaginary trapezoid.

摘要:
A sensor device, by which the light intensity in the surroundings of the vehicle is detected and which is connected to an evaluation device, by which the signals (S) of the sensor device for the light intensity are compared with at least one threshold value, and from that it is ascertained whether a change in the switching state of the lighting devices is necessary. The evaluation device evaluates signals (S) of the sensor device for the presence of at least one periodically variable signal component (Sk), and in the presence of such a signal component (Sk), the lighting devices are either turned on at a certain level, or remain turned on at that level. By this evaluation, light originating from artificial light sources and having a variable intensity depending on the alternating voltage with which these sources are operated, are detected and assure that the lighting devices will be turned on or will remain turned on if the vehicle is driving in a tunnel or underground garage, for instance, where lighting is provided by artificial light sources.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method and an arrangement for monitoring a computing unit, such as is used, for example, in control devices. The monitoring device generates a reset signal if the supply voltage drops below a voltage level, below which a defined operation is not ensured. Following the occurrence of a reset signal, a fixedly predetermined code is compared with the content of a volatile memory unit and a signal is emitted based on the comparison result, which determines the further process sequence. A fast and secure determination of the continued optimum process sequence is obtained by continuing with the control of the operating state as it exists at the time when the reset signal occurs, provided the content of the volatile memory unit coincides with the code, whereas a new initialization is carried out if the content of the volatile memory unit deviates from the code.

An apparatus for operating a windshield wiper having a sensor device for determining the state of wetness of a windshield, an evaluation device which receives the sensor signal, a dirt-recognition stage and an adjusting device for updating a reference value when dirt is present on the windshield, and an actuating unit for the windshield wiper which can be actuated by the evaluation device in order to initiate a wiping process if the difference between the reference value and a current measured value of the sensor signal exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The measured values can be evaluated by the dirt-recognition stage with respect to signal breaks of the sensor signal caused by the wiping action of the wiper across the sensor surface.
