Positioning system for positioning a display device in a motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle
A positioning system for positioning a display device for presenting visually perceptible information in a motor vehicle, the positioning system includes a display and a guide system with at least one rail element, and with at least one slide element guidable with the rail element. One of the two elements is fixed by a connection device to the display device and the respective other element is designed to be connected to a supporting structure or a transverse member of an instrument panel. At least one securing element which is rigidly connected by a first end region to the display device and by a second end region to the element designed for connection to the supporting structure. Under action of specific pulses, the guide system can achieve a substantially translational displacement of the display device by a relative movement between the rail element and the slide element in the guide plane.
1. A positioning system for positioning a display device for presenting visualy perceptible information on a display in a motor vehicle, the positioning system comprising:
a guide system with at least one rail element and at least one slide element guidable with the at least one rail element, the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element being fixed via a connection device to the display device and the other of the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element being connectable to a supporting structure of an instrument panel of the motor vehicle, the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element fixed to the display device, via the connection device, is configured to break when a pulse p1 of more than 42 kg*m/s acts on a first display region that is farther away from a guide plane, defined by the guide system, than a dividing plane running substantially parallel to the guide plane; and
at least one securing element rigidly connected via a first end region to the display device and via a second end region to the other of the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element connected to the supporting structure,
wherein the at least one securing element is designed to become deformed or buckled when a pulse p2 of more than 42 kg*m/s acts on a second display device region, which is less distant from the guide plane than a dividing plane running substantially parallel to the guide plane so that the guide system achieves a substantially translational displacement of the display device by a relative movement between the at least one rail element and the at least one slide element in the guide plane.
2. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one securing element is designed such that a mechanical connection, realized via the at least one securing element, between the display device and the other of the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element connected to the supporting structure is maintained when the pulse p1 acts on the first display device section.
3. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein a distance substantially perpendicular to the guide plane, between the guide plane and the dividing plane, is in a ratio b/a to a distance b, substantially perpendicular to the guide plane, between the guide plane and a boundary of the display device farthest from the guide plane, where b/a>1, or b/a>3 or b/a>6.
4. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one slide element is not fixed to the display device and the at least one rail element is designed to be connected to the supporting structure of the instrument panel of the motor vehicle.
5. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one securing element comprises at least two legs arranged relative to one another such that the legs define an angle β, where 45°>β<180°.
6. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one slide element of the guide system comprises two slide elements, spaced from one another, for each respective one of the at least one rail element, wherein at least one of the two slide elements farther away from the first display device region and/or the connection device farther away from the first display device region, are designed to break when the pulse p1 acts on the first display device region.
7. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein the connection of the at least one securing element to the display device is pivotable and/or the connection of the at least one securing element to the other of the at least one rail element or the at least one slide element connected to the supporting structure corresponds to a fixed clamping.
8. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning system further comprises an instrument panel designed to position the display device in a motor vehicle interior.
9. The positioning system according to claim 8 , wherein at least when a pulse p2 is applied and the display device is displaced as a result, at least the instrument panel or a shaped element of the instrument panel is in contact with the display device, and wherein a distance between an area of contact of the instrument panel on the positioning system is the distance ‘a’ between the guide plane and the dividing plane.
10. A motor vehicle comprising at least one positioning system according to claim 1 for positioning a display device.
11. The positioning system according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting structure is a transverse member of the instrument panel of the motor vehicle.
