    CONTROL DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH AN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM
    Field of the invention
    The present invention relates to the automotive field and is particularly aimed at motor vehicles with an autonomous driving system.
    Background of the invention
    Driver assistance systems are now widely used in recent motor vehicles and are growing rapidly.
    Adaptive Cruise Control, better known by the acronym ACC (for "Adaptive Cruise Control" or "Autonomous Cruise Control"), has thus been known for a number of years. Such a mode of assistance automatically adjusts the speed to maintain a constant safety interval with the vehicle preceding the user from the information collected on this vehicle (including distance and approach speed) using one or more sensors of the radar, lidar or infrared type.
    More recently, we have also seen the appearance of dynamic systems anti-crossing line involuntary. These are commonly referred to as ALKA (for Active Lane Keep Assist), LKAS (for Lane Keep Assistance System), ALA (for Active Lane Assist) or ALC (for Active Lane Control). lines of markings on the ground using sensors and / or optical cameras, and intervene dynamically on the vehicle when the latter deviates from its traffic sight. In such a case, the driver assistance system will then automatically correct the direction of the vehicle and / or activate the braking.
    These driver assistance systems are improving and becoming more and more autonomous. Recently, thus appeared driving assistance devices capable of managing fully autonomously the longitudinal and transverse displacement of the vehicle.
    This is particularly the case of traffic jam assistants (better known by the acronym TJC for "Traffic Jam Chauffeur") intended to relieve the driver in situations of heavy traffic or traffic jams (speed below 50/70 km / (h) on divided highways (motorways and expressways).
    It may also be mentioned the highway driving assistants commonly referred to by the acronyms HC (for "Highway Chauffeur") and able to fully offload the driver in situations of fluid traffic (speed close to the regulatory limit) on paved roads separated.
    However, during the autonomous driving phases of the vehicle, the driver must be able to exert some influence on the driving, for example to adjust the maximum speed of the vehicle, to change the driving lane or to overtake the vehicle. vehicle preceding it.
    To do this, the vehicles must have new controls generally located on the steering wheel (push buttons) or behind it (selectors with one or more rotary knobs).
    This multiplication of the number of controls at the steering wheel is particularly difficult to apprehend for the driver who tends to get lost, especially when they are not directly visible.
    US Pat. No. 8,374,743 discloses a control device for an autonomous driving system comprising a joystick mounted for free rotation and able to be moved by the driver towards a multitude of positions from a central position, the displacement from this joystick to each of these positions causing the transmission to the autonomous driving system of an instruction requiring the adjustment of a driving parameter or the achievement of a maneuver predefined by the vehicle. The implementation of such a joystick in the central console of the vehicle is however particularly delicate because of the small space available in this area traditionally hosting the control member of the gearbox and some control elements ( buttons, thumbwheel, etc.) of the infotainment device of the vehicle.
    Object and summary of the invention
    The present invention therefore aims to provide such an intuitive control device for the driver and integrating perfectly into the cabin.
    It proposes for this purpose a control device for a motor vehicle with an autonomous driving system, said device comprising a multidirectional control member protruding from the central console of said vehicle and for adjusting certain driving parameters and / or order the maneuvering by said vehicle during an autonomous driving phase; characterized in that said control device further comprises an outer ring movable between a retracted position in which it is retracted into said central console and an extended position in which it surrounds said control member; said control member being adapted, when said ring occupies said retracted position, to be displaced in translation or to pivot in several directions from a central position towards which it is resiliently biased to allow the adjustment of said parameters and / or to order the production of said maneuvers; said control member being further adapted, when said crown occupies said extended position, to be rotated on itself with said ring in one direction or the other to allow the selection of one of the positions of the box automatic speed of said vehicle.
    The dual functionality offered by the device according to the invention allows it to be easily integrated within the center console of a motor vehicle in place of the traditional control lever of the automatic gearbox, thereby avoiding to have to add commands on or sub-flying difficult to identify.
    This control device also has the advantage of being a particularly easy and intuitive handling for the driver.
    According to preferred features of the invention, taken alone or in combination: - said control device comprises means for automatically moving said ring from said retracted position to said deployed position during the transition from an autonomous driving phase to a phase of manual driving and vice versa; said control member comprises at its apex a tiltable switch with several active positions making it possible to adjust other driving parameters and / or to order the carrying out of additional maneuvers by said vehicle during an autonomous driving phase; - Said control member is adapted, when said ring occupies said retracted position, to pivot in four perpendicular directions from a central position to which it is urged in the absence of external stress; the rotation of said control member is of the impulse type from a stable position towards which it is resiliently biased; - The rotation of said control member is effected by a plurality of indexing notches each corresponding to a particular position of said automatic gearbox; said control device comprises a validation button making it possible to confirm the execution of certain sensitive maneuvers requested via said control member; said validation button is located on the upper face of said console near said control member; when said ring is in its retracted position, the rotation of said control member on itself is prevented by mechanical blocking means or is not associated with any particular setpoint transmission; and / or - said control device comprises a series of luminous indications located on the upper face of said console near said control member and intended to signal to said driver that an autonomous driving phase is in progress or to the inform of the current position of said automatic gearbox when said vehicle is in the manual driving phase.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The description of the invention will now be continued by the detailed description of an exemplary embodiment, given below by way of illustration but without limitation, with reference to the appended drawings, in which: FIG. a perspective view of a portion of the center console of a motor vehicle equipped with a control device according to the invention, the crown is shown in the retracted position; - Figure 2 is a view of the control device according to the invention taken from above, the crown is in its retracted position while the multidirectional control member is moved to the left; - Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 but on which the ring is shown in the deployed position; and - Figure 4 is a view of the control device according to the invention taken from above, the crown occupies its deployed position while the multidirectional control member is rotated in a clockwise direction.
    Detailed description of a preferred embodiment
    The central console 1 illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 is located in a motor vehicle with automatic gearbox and having a system capable of managing the driving of the vehicle completely independently.
    According to the invention, the central console 1 comprises a control device 10 comprising a multidirectional control wheel 11 projecting from the upper face of this console 1 and mounted at the end of a lever (not visible in the figures) hinged to pivoting in four perpendicular directions (front, rear, left and right) from a central position to which it is resiliently biased.
    This wheel 11 is also able to be impully driven in rotation on itself along the axis of the lever, this rotation can be performed in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction and on a small angular latitude of about 5 ° from a stable position towards which it is recalled elastically.
    The wheel 11 further comprises at its top a multidirectional switch 12 associated with four micro-switch type internal contactors, so as to offer four active positions (front, rear, left and right).
    The control device 10 also comprises an outer ring 14 concentric with the wheel 11. This ring 14 is slidably mounted, via motor driven drive means controlled by the intelligent service housing of the vehicle, between a retracted position (FIG. and 2) in which it is retracted inside the central console 1 and an extended position (FIGS. 3 and 4) in which it surrounds the wheel 11 so as to prevent it from pivoting while being integral in rotation with it .
    The motorized drive means, not shown in the figures but well known per se, comprise for example a rack integral with the outer ring 14 and cooperating with a toothed gear rotatably mounted on a motorized axis.
    These motorized drive means are managed by the intelligent servo housing of the vehicle so that the ring 14 moves automatically from its retracted position to its deployed position during the transition from an autonomous driving phase to a driving phase. manual and vice versa.
    The control device 10 further comprises a touch-type validation button 15 implanted on the upper face of the "Black panel" type of the console 1 at the rear and near the wheel 11.
    This button 15 allows the driver to confirm the achievement of certain sensitive maneuvers requested via the wheel 11 or to validate adjustments of parameters proposed directly by the autonomous driving system via the display screen of the infotainment device or that of the instrument cluster of the vehicle. It is advantageously associated with a luminous pictogram 16 here representing a tick and illuminating automatically when the autonomous driving system is waiting for the validation of a set by the driver.
    The control device finally comprises a series of aligned light indications 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 displayed on the upper face of the "Black panel" type of the console 1 at the front and near the wheel 11 .
    The luminous indications 17, 18, 19, 20 represent the various letters associated with the positions that can be adopted by the automatic gearbox of the vehicle (P for the parking, R for the recoil, N for the neutral, and D for drive) while that the textual indication 21 of the textual type displays the term "AUTO PILOT" for autonomous driving.
    Alternatively, the text indication 21 may for example be replaced by a luminous pictogram associated with the autonomous driving.
    These different light indications are permanently illuminated, but the one corresponding to the current driving situation is displayed in larger and more prominent ones than the others (see Figures 2 and 4).
    Alternatively, it can be expected that only the light indication corresponding to the current situation is illuminated.
    The operation of the control device 10 according to the invention will now be described in detail as a function of the driving context.
    When the system ensures the autonomous driving of the vehicle and the outer ring 14 thus occupies its retracted position, the light indication 21 is displayed roughly and highlighted to signal to the driver that an autonomous driving phase is in progress (FIG. 2).
    In this configuration, the wheel 11 can be moved in the four perpendicular directions so as to allow the driver to adjust certain driving parameters and / or order the realization of maneuvers predefined by the vehicle.
    Thus according to a preferred embodiment: the forward displacement of the wheel 11 causes the increase of a predetermined pitch of the maximum speed of the vehicle (for example: 5km / h), while its displacement towards the rear causes a decrease at the same pace of this maximum speed; - The displacement to the left of this wheel 11 causes the issuance of an overtaking order by the left of the previous vehicle, while its movement to the right causes the issuance of an order to exceed the right of the vehicle .
    Such an order of exceeding being considered as a sensitive setpoint, that will be executed by the system after confirming the driver by pressing the validation button 15 whose associated pictogram 16 is illuminated (Figure 2).
    During such a phase of autonomous driving, the driver can also adjust other driving parameters and / or order the realization of additional maneuvers via the switch 12. As an indication and not limiting, it can for example provide that: - the pressing on the front portion of the switch 12 causes an increase of a predetermined step (for example: 0.5 s) of the time interval separating the vehicle from the preceding vehicle, while the support on its rear part causes the decrease this time interval at the same pace; - Pressing on the left side of this switch 12 causes the vehicle to move in the driving lane by a predetermined step to the left (for example 75 cm), while the support on its right side causes its movement towards the right at the same pace.
    It will also be noted that, when the ring 14 is in its retracted position, the rotation of the wheel 11 on itself is prevented by mechanical blocking means or is not associated with any particular instruction transmission.
    Alternatively, it is also possible that this rotation of the wheel 11 in one direction or the other is associated with the transmission of additional instructions.
    When the driving of the vehicle is performed manually and the outer ring 14 thus occupies its deployed position, the light indication 17, 18, 19 or 20 corresponding to the current position of the automatic gearbox is displayed roughly and highlighted (Figure 4).
    In this manual driving configuration, the wheel 11 can only be impully driven in rotation with the crown 14 in a clockwise or anti-clockwise manner so as to allow the driver to select the desired position of the automatic transmission of the vehicle. .
    Thus, the rotation of the wheel assembly 11 - outer ring 14 in the clockwise direction causes the change of position of the box in the order P, RN, D, while its rotation in the counterclockwise direction causes a change of position according to the order D, N, R, P.
    According to alternative embodiments not shown, the control wheel can make it possible to adjust other parameters in autonomous driving mode (such as the time interval separating the vehicle from the preceding vehicle) and / or to order the production of different maneuvers (such as changing lanes).
    According to other embodiments, the wheel has no multidirectional switch at its top. In such a configuration, the top of the wheel may for example house the validation button instead.
    In still other embodiments: - the control wheel is not pivotally mounted but in translation in the four directions perpendicular front, rear, left and right; and the rotation of the wheel is not of impulse type but is carried out according to a plurality of angularly spaced indexing notches (each corresponding notch, when the manual driving mode is activated, at a particular position of the gearbox). automatic speed P, R, N or D). In general, it is recalled that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but encompasses any embodiment within the scope of those skilled in the art.
