Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a control device for a sliding door closer device which brings a door in an incompletely closed state into a fully closed state by operating a driving force source.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a control device for a sliding door closer device of this type, a control device from Toyota Motor Corporation
The one disclosed in the Estima Emina new model car manual published in January 995 is known.

This is to control the power supply system so as to supply power to the closer system provided on the door by the operation of the power supply system provided between the door and the body based on the contact between the door and the body. The closer system is controlled to operate the closer system to fully close the door to the body based on detection of an incompletely closed state of the door to the body.

In this conventional apparatus, the power supply system is operated by detecting the contact between the door and the body, and the closer system is operated by detecting the incompletely closed state of the door with respect to the body. , There was no relationship between the two.

[0005]

Normally, since the contact between the door and the body is in the incompletely closed state with respect to the body of the door, the operation start timings of the power feeding system and the door closer are substantially the same, but the door is closed. There is a case in which there is a gap between the operation start timings of the two, for example, when the is slid with respect to the body from the open state to the closed state extremely slowly.

In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, when the operation start timings of both of them are substantially coincident with each other, the closer system is operated from the operation start to the operation end while the power supply system is operating to supply power to the closer system.
If there is a discrepancy between the operation start timings of the two, there is no relationship between the operation start timing of the power feeding system and the operation start timing of the closer system depending on the amount of deviation, so before the closer system ends operation. The operation of the power supply system may stop, and the power supply from the power supply system to the closer system may stop. As a result, the door remains in the process of changing from the incomplete state to the fully closed state with respect to the body, and thereafter, the door can be completely closed with respect to the body and vice versa. Things can also be difficult.

Therefore, it is a technical problem of the present invention to ensure that the power feeding system is operated during the operation of the closer system.

[0008]

The technical means taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problem is a defining means for defining the operation start timing of the closer system based on the operation start timing of the power feeding system, Specifically, it is provided with a timer unit that defines an elapsed time from the start of operation of the power supply system to the start of operation of the closer system.

According to this technical means, the elapsed time from the start of the operation of the power supply system to the start of the operation of the closer system is measured by the regulating means, more specifically, the timer means, and the closer system operates only when it is within the predetermined measurement time. If it operates and is outside the predetermined measurement time, the operation of the closer system is canceled. That is, the operation start timing of the closer system is defined based on the operation start timing of the power feeding system. Therefore, during the operation of the closer system, the power supply system can be surely operated.

It is designed to be connected to T. As shown in FIG. 1, the junction switch 5 is composed of a male terminal 51 provided on the body 2 and a female terminal 52 provided on the door 3, and the door 3 in the open state is closed to the body 2. On the other hand, when the door 3 and the body 2 come into contact with each other when the opening 2a is closed by the sliding operation, the two are connected.

The door control relay 12 is a timer 1
2a built-in microcomputer. As described above, the power supply terminal UINT of the door control relay 12 is connected to the unit of the power feeding relay 11 through the junction switch 5, and the lock mechanism 6 is provided at the output ports P3 and P4. It is connected to the motor 71 of the closer mechanism 7. As shown in FIG. 1, the lock mechanism 6 is provided between the body 2 and the door 3 and, as is well known, by the engagement of the door side latch (not shown) and the body side striker 61. The door 3 that closes the opening 2a of the body 2 is configured to be in an incompletely closed state or a completely closed state with respect to the body 2. The closer mechanism 7 is configured to move the latch of the lock mechanism 6 by the operation of the motor 71 so as to change the door 3 from the incompletely closed state to the fully closed state with respect to the body 2. Also, the input port P6 of the door control relay 12
A half-latch switch 8 for detecting the incompletely closed state 3 of the door 3 with respect to the body 2 from the operation of the lock mechanism 6 is connected to the. The half-latch switch 8 is built in the lock mechanism 6, and when the door 3 is opened from the body 2 to the incompletely closed state, the latch of the lock mechanism 5 is switched from off to on. Is.
Further, a cam switch 9 is connected to the input port 1 of the door control relay 12. The cam switch 9 is built in the closer mechanism 7, and switches from the movement of the closer mechanism 7 to OFF to ON and from OFF to ON. The power supply terminal GND of the door control relay 12 is grounded via the junction switch 5.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

When the door 3 in the open state slides with respect to the body 2 to close the opening 2a, the junction switch 5 is connected by the contact between the door 3 and the body 2, and the SEN of the power supply relay 11 and the door control. The GND of the relay 12 is grounded via the junction switch 5, and the UNIT of the power feeding relay 11 is grounded via the junction switch 5.
Connected to the unit of. As a result, the power supply relay 11
The timer 11a in the inside starts measurement, and the power supply system 11
UNIT to the door control relay 12 UNIT
Power is supplied for a predetermined time A measured by the timer 11a, the door control relay 12 operates for a predetermined time A measured by the timer 11a, and the timer 12a starts measurement. . When the door control relay 12 operates, it is determined in step S1 whether or not the door 3 is incompletely closed with respect to the body 2 from the state of the half latch switch 8, and the half latch switch 8 is turned on, that is, the door 3 is turned on. If it is determined that the half-closed state is incomplete, then in step S2, it is determined from the state of the timer 12a whether or not the half-latch switch 8 has been turned on within the predetermined time B measured by the timer 12a. It In step S2, the timer 12a has passed the predetermined time, that is, the door 3
Is determined to be in the incompletely closed state outside the predetermined time B measured by the timer 12a, the processing is terminated regardless of the lapse of the predetermined time A, that is, the operation of the door control relay 12 is stopped, and the timer 12a is still in operation. The predetermined time has not elapsed, that is, the predetermined time B measured by the timer 12a by the door 3
If it is determined that the incompletely closed state is reached in step S
At 3, the closer mechanism 7 is operated to change the door 3 from the incompletely closed state to the fully closed state. Thereafter, in step S4, it is determined from the state of the cam switch 9 whether or not the door 3 is completely closed with respect to the body 2, and it is determined that the cam switch 9 is off, that is, the door 3 is completely closed. Then, in step S4, the operation of the closer mechanism 7 is stopped, and the process ends.

The predetermined time A measured by the timer 11a
Is determined by a value obtained by subtracting the operating time of the closer mechanism 7 and its error amount, and the predetermined time B measured by the timer 12a is determined by a value obtained by subtracting the operating time of the closer mechanism 7 and its error amount from the predetermined time A. To be done.
