Description

Be used to control to adjust the method and the control apparatus of adjustable driver element of device

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of according to claim 1 or claim 16 as described in the preamble be used to control to adjust method and a kind of control apparatus as described in the preamble of adjustable driver element of device according to claim 17.

Background technology

In this control apparatus, actuating device drives drive element via middleware, and wherein driver element, middleware and drive element are respectively around the S. A. rotatably support.The form of implementation of the example of this control apparatus is regulating mechanism seat reclining apparatus or window regulator, and the middleware of said regulating mechanism comprises coil spring.At this; Can rotate around the driver element that its S. A. rotates; Therefore make said driver element affact on the spring arm or shank of coil spring, said coil spring can be given in addition the drive element that joins with the coil spring coupling with importing to transmission of torque in the coil spring.Usually, driver element, drive element and be arranged in the common housing and around the common axis of rotation rotatably support as the coil spring of middleware.

Coil spring prestrain becomes; Make its inwall that constitutes brake hoop or brake cylinder that under the situation of the effect that does not have driver element, presses housing compress; Therefore and form frictional engagement, the position that makes after regulating the expection through driver element lock adjustment device and maintenance drive element.When driver element affacts on the coil spring, strain said coil spring, make with transmission of torque to be possible to drive element.As long as on the spring end that therefore driver element is loaded before no longer power being applied to, coil spring just opens and rests on inwall or the brake hoop to frictional engagement once more.

Coil spring prevention as middleware simultaneously causes (significantly) to regulate driver element at slave end by power or the torque that drive element imports middleware.Therefore, coil spring is arranged within control apparatus, makes the frictional engagement that the torque that imports at slave end causes coil spring further to open and strengthen having existed.Therefore, stop the importing or the transmission of the torque of slave end through middleware.

DE 196 53 722 C2 have described a kind of control apparatus at double side acting, described principle before wherein implementing.At this, the control apparatus of DE 196 53 722 C2 preferably can use the regulating mechanism at the height adjustment that is used for automobile seat.

But also use control apparatus as described in the preamble according to claim 1 for the adjusting of the glass for vehicle window in self-propelled vehicle.At this, the driver element that joins with the CD-ROM drive motor coupling rotates around S. A., forms effective bonded assembly drive element so that regulate with glass for vehicle window to be regulated.Also in this case, via middleware, for example stop torque directly to be delivered on the driver element with slave end by coil spring.Therefore, when being pushed downwards by hand or upwards spurring glass for vehicle window, middleware especially checks the manual regulation of having a mind to of the glass for vehicle window of electrically actuatable.Under both of these case, middleware stops the adjusting motion that imports at slave end, the feasible adjusting of forbidding glass for vehicle window.

In addition, be known that via the current location of driver element release glass for vehicle window and/or the change in location of glass for vehicle window.At this, sensed the motion of the minimum of driver element, so that for example detect blocking case reliably, between glass for vehicle window that said blocking case lower body parts are promoting and bezel, block.

But; When apply at slave end power or torque and middleware is corresponding stop before; Just in time in dynamic process;---load that wherein weakens or increase repeatedly affacts on the control apparatus at slave end---, the small gap of depending on structure on middleware just cause the adjusting extremely when young of driver element.Therefore, power or torque suddenly are directed in the middleware at slave end in dynamic loading procedure.This often causes, and regulates the portion's section that directly is close in said drive element that forms effective bonded assembly or middleware with drive element at least a little, applies or stops enough antagonistic forces or enough reactives torque up to middleware.

Therefore, when coil spring repeatedly is loaded or unloads by the power of the variation of slave end, for example in as the coil spring of middleware, at first sufficiently strengthen the frictional engagement of coil spring on brake hoop by further opening a little.But, because when regulating driver element affact on the middleware and therefore for this reason with said middleware direct contact, so even if driver element also keeps being close to middleware usually after the adjusting that finishes expection.But, even if therefore the adjusting slightly of middleware also can cause the adjusting of driver element.This measurement that leads to errors in position of electronic measurement driver element or when moving.

Summary of the invention

Therefore; The object of the invention based on; A kind of method and a kind of control apparatus that is used to control to adjust adjustable driver element of device is provided, overcomes top described shortcoming at least in part and said control apparatus especially is being optimized aspect the use of this control apparatus that is used for window lift mechanism by said method or by said control apparatus.

This purpose is by realizing according to the method for claim 1 or 16 and according to the control apparatus of claim 17; Wherein be provided with control unit in 17 the control apparatus on request in right, said control unit comes work according to the control method of claim 1 and/or 16.

Correspondingly, the S. A. of driver element from dead position around driver element is along two possible and reciprocal adjusting direction rotations, so that expectedly regulate drive element.At this, driver element is regulated on the portion's section that affacts middleware on the direction and middleware will be given drive element to be driven via the transmission of torque that portion's section of middleware imports in the middleware by driver element first.After drive element reaches the position of expection,, the adjusting of expection stops driver element after finishing.According to the present invention; Also propose now; After drive element reaches the position of expection; Driver element away from portion's section of middleware along in contrast to first regulate second of direction regulate direction to the preset highway section of back rotation in midway location, wherein driver element at first affacts on the middleware via said section.

At this, before adjusting motion begins the dead position of driver element and after the adjusting motion midway location of driver element also can be consistent about driver element with respect to the position of portion's section of middleware respectively.

Therefore, drive element is adjusted in the position of expection via driver element after, be provided at qualification and the adjustable distance between portion's section of driver element and middleware.Through driver element from the final position to the midway location or dead position reset motivatedly and can avoid with realizing; Driver element directly rests on portion's section of middleware after drive element is regulated in addition or is close to said section at least, and wherein eliminating is used to drive the real adjusting motion of drive element in said final position.

Preferably, the control apparatus by control method work according to the present invention is following control apparatus: wherein drive element and driver element and the middleware that constitutes coil spring are arranged within the common housing.At this, coil spring by prestrain and frictional engagement rest on the inwall that constitutes brake hoop of housing.Through affacting on the spring end of coil spring around the driver element that S. A. rotates; Tension coil spring and unclamp the frictional engagement with brake hoop makes coil spring to rotate and directly or by means of additional parts to affact on the drive element together with driver element.As long as driver element is no longer affacting on the spring end on the coil spring, via coil spring just stopping from the driver element to the drive element in this relevant transmission of torque.Coil spring opens and the therefore position that reached of locking once more.On the contrary, slave end, import to torque in the coil spring by drive element and only cause coil spring (continuation) to open and strengthen the friction force on the brake surface from the coil spring to the brake hoop.

Yet as beginning is illustrated, possiblely based on structure be, before the final locking of middleware, middleware under the load of slave end,---especially under dynamic and/or unexpected load---, allow motion slightly at first at least.Before the torque of middleware (finally) locking slave end, middleware or form therefore motion stop highway section at first of effective bonded assembly portion section with driver element.But this can also cause the motion of not expecting of driver element.

Now; Through be used to expect regulate drive element driver element at first along first regulate direction move after along second regulate direction is preferably greater than said stop highway section from middleware to back rotation the highway section of presetting, can get rid of any not conditioning desired of the driver element that carries out via the power or the torque of slave end lastingly reliably.At this; When slave end is introduced torque before the final locking of said middleware; Driver element is via the electronic control unit that joins with the control apparatus the coupling a certain amount of or stretch section to back rotation motivatedly; Make that section stop highway section of the distance that after this obtains of portion's section of driver element and middleware and portion middleware section process that possibly allow greater than middleware, wherein via said section driver element at first through the middleware transmitting torque.

Select in the form of implementation replacing of control apparatus; Said control apparatus obviously can also constitute; Making the middleware constitute coil spring not rest on brake hoop or the brake cylinder of the said control apparatus of (at least in part) encirclement through frictional engagement ground stops; But surround through the axle that passes said control apparatus, supporting to the coil spring frictional engagement on the said axle within it on the circumference, so that locking.

In said development of method form; Driver element is in that in the possible adjusting direction turns in the holding position along two after midway location to back rotation; Driver element rests on portion's section of middleware in said holding position, and effect has torque slave end, that imported by drive element on said section.

Therefore, in the control apparatus of double side acting, driver element can turn to the holding position from middle position (continuation), so that for example stop the servo-actuated of drive element, wherein said driver element at first turns in the said midway location.Therefore, as the example of the adjusting parts that are used to treat regulate, be used for reducing and promoting glass for vehicle window at the control apparatus of double side acting by control apparatus.At this; Be arranged on that wherein driver element can regulate that directions affact middleware respectively around its S. A. along two with (first or second) the portion's section that is associated at the driver element of regulating on the direction on; So that adjusting drive element and adjusting and the glass for vehicle window that said drive element coupling joins thus promptly promote and perhaps fall glass for vehicle window.Especially when falling glass for vehicle window to be regulated, can take place, glass for vehicle window also slightly further descends after driver element stops, i.e. " servo-actuated ".

In described improved form; Driver element is crossed midway location now or still is rotated further the holding position from said midway location; Driver element rests on first section of middleware, to be used to promote glass for vehicle window on the first adjusting direction in said holding position.Said first section for example can be first spring end as the coil spring of middleware.When the glass for vehicle window of regulating through control apparatus at first descends, correspondingly for example and then arrive the holding position on first section; Therefore driver element affacts on second section of middleware, for example affacts on second spring end that is different from first spring end of coil spring.Therefore; Can be always except expectedly affacting on the drive element at first with respect to after the driver element of two (first and second) portion sections motions of middleware is on affacting (first) portion section of middleware;---when needing after occupying midway location momently---; Do not affact on the drive element and and turn to, make said driver element rest on another (second) portion section of middleware with respect to middleware.Can stop the servo-actuated of the glass for vehicle window that just descends like this, because driver element rests on middleware (first) the portion section, effect has the torque that imports at slave end usually on said section.Then; Therefore driver element rests on (first) portion section of middleware; Said section causes the for example locking of the middleware of the spring end of coil spring when continuing to fall or deliberately depressing glass for vehicle window; Applying on the said spring end under the situation of torque at slave end, coil spring continues to open via said spring end.

On the one hand, middleware forwards under the state of not load once more motivatedly, and said middleware (more quickly) reacts on not conditioning desired under said state, because driver element no longer affacts on the middleware in initial control apparatus.On the other hand, driver element is in the holding position with second section of middleware and contacts, and makes the self-locking also must overcome the force of inertia that acts on the driver element or to be used for the adjusting that triggers at slave end of drive element.As an alternative, after drive element reached the position of expection, driver element directly rotated preset highway section in the holding position.Therefore; The holding position in this case;---when needing also only the definite direction of in the adjusting direction possible regulate after the driver element---along two; Play the effect of " midway location ", driver element rests on portion's section of middleware in said midway location, and effect maybe has torque slave end, that imported by drive element with effect on said section.So therefore, when the decline of the glass for vehicle window that at first carries out via driver element driving, preferably reach said (second) midway location or holding position by control apparatus.

Therefore in the embodiment deformation program, can also mate the preset highway section that is used for driver element according to the adjusting motion of at first being implemented to back rotation.In the motor vehicle windows lifting mechanism; Regulating driver element with after being used to promote glass for vehicle window; And then driver element can move first highway section in (first) midway location; Two of driver element and middleware portion's sections separate in said midway location, and via said section, passing torque to middleware by driver element is possible on each adjusting direction.After glass for vehicle window was fallen once more, driver element moved bigger highway section from (second) portion section that rests on middleware to the holding position to another (first) portion section that rests on middleware.Therefore; Said holding position can also be expressed as second midway location of driver element; Make in this case; Via middleware transmission of torque is not being given under the situation of drive element and after drive element reaches the position of expection at this, always motivatedly with respect to centre part with driver element be adjusted to two with midway location in one in.

In a form of implementation; Driver element in the holding position not only reacts on the adjusting owing to force of inertia of drive element with auxiliary mode; For example when the glass for vehicle window servo-actuated, but also before hold torque was imported in the corresponding portion section of middleware by driver element.Said hold torque is towards the directive effect of portion's section of middleware, and the driver element in the holding position rests on said the section.

If for example by at least one sensor that joins with the control apparatus coupling to following (key) situation: in said situation; Usually can estimate to import the torque of slave end through drive element; The driver element that is in so in the holding position had before applied reactive hold torque, so that the latch functions of auxiliary middleware.Likewise, driver element can just move to the holding position from middle position after critical situation via at least one sensor.

Correspondingly; This sensor allows via the importing of automatically estimating whether to carry out the torque of slave end through the sensor signal that it generated, makes driver element to turn in the holding position and/or can be by hold torque load driver element according at least one sensor signal.

Sensor is for example according to the parts of the motion of self-propelled vehicle and/or mode of operation and/or self-propelled vehicle, and the motion of especially parts of window lift mechanism, car door and/or car door glass for vehicle window generates sensor signal.The sensor that generates sensor signal according to self-propelled vehicle motion is for example with assessing as follows: whether self-propelled vehicle is current receives bigger vibrations, promptly for example on rugged moving traffic lane, goes.Cross this so-called abominable highway section and cause, the glass for vehicle window of treating to regulate by control apparatus repeatedly up-and-down movement and the drive element that therefore joins with said glass for vehicle window coupling alternately is loaded on reciprocal action direction effectively.But, unload middleware because repeatedly load perhaps, so this condition of loading that dynamically replaces possibly be able to cause the not conditioning desired of glass for vehicle window.But, avoided regulating the adjusting of direction at least reliably through apply hold torque via driver element along (second), promptly for example fall glass for vehicle window.

As long as the load that glass for vehicle window occurs with therefore drive element because at slave end and at least slightly along first regulate that direction is moved and driver element because the hold torque that applies above that possibly and moved a bit of along another first adjusting direction by " tension "; This is confirmable for for the sensing device of driver element coupling location recognition that join, that be used for glass for vehicle window, being not only so, but also clearly can with along first regulate direction movements.Because the hold torque of passing through to be applied is got rid of along the adjusting of the second adjusting direction reliably,, the adjusting that is detected of driver element carry out so only can regulating direction along first.On the contrary, in system so far commonly used, must assess the sensor signal by this sensing device generation of the driving sensor unit that is used for driver element at first as follows, promptly which direction driver element possibly regulated along.

On the glass for vehicle window that sensor obviously can also be arranged on the window lift mechanism, treat to regulate by control apparatus and/or on the car door of self-propelled vehicle or among, wherein confirm and/or prediction has the critical situation of torque of the slave end of (possibility) appearance via the sensor signal of said sensor.Therefore; Through closing via the definite door of sensor that joins with the control apparatus coupling and be arranged in the car door; Even if driver element especially also can move in the holding position and/or be loaded with hold torque when door is closed; Wherein likewise, big relatively masterpiece is used on the glass for vehicle window and therefore and at slave end power or moment is imported in the control apparatus usually.

Likewise, when detecting following critical situation, under said situation, expect the importing of the power or the moment of slave end consumingly, with after promoting glass for vehicle window, can arrive the holding position by driver element at the adjusted device.Therefore after promoting glass for vehicle window; Wherein driver element is regulated direction along first and is rotated, driver element at first along second regulate direction to back rotation in said midway location or midway location and when critical situation occurring or before regulate direction along first once more and rotate dress until the holding position.

In other words; In form of implementation according to the method for the invention; When the dynamic power to be expected of carrying out via driven device is introduced, for example on the inclement weather highway section, go when perhaps door is closed, the driver element that joins with electrically operated actuator coupling moves along regulating direction; Reach the holding position up to driver element, carry out the lifting of glass for vehicle window along said adjusting direction.Next, can import hold torque up to the no longer power importing of desired dynamic.At this, the sensing device that has existed during via the needing of self-propelled vehicle is made the decision of whether expecting that dynamic power imports, for example according to the information of whether opening or closing about car door, and/or according to the Dynamic Signal that goes.

Can propose in addition; Regulate according to the sensor signal of at least one sensor and to be used for described hold torque before the driver element is remained on time length and/or the size of hold torque on portion's section of middleware; Wherein based on the parts of parts, especially window lift mechanism self-propelled vehicle and/or self-propelled vehicle, glass for vehicle window car door and/or car door detected motion and/or detected mode of operation generate sensor signal.

Especially in this article, according on the self-propelled vehicle or within detected dynamic force in the measured temperature, the glass for vehicle window treating to regulate by control apparatus import and/or treat that the position of the glass for vehicle window regulated by control apparatus is regulated is used to keep the time length of hold torque and/or the size of hold torque.Therefore, in the time of for example can either also can aspect it is big or small, being based on abominable highway section in time and going, import in qualitative, the detected dynamic force of glass for vehicle window when for example on pothole, going and regulate hold torque.Perhaps replenish ground as an alternative, the adjusting that is used for the value of hold torque depends on whether the car door with glass for vehicle window to be regulated is under the state of opening and whether glass for vehicle window is also opened, and promptly falls.Especially can assess glass for vehicle window and whether be arranged in described short travel position; In said short travel position; The seamed edge on glass towards the vehicle roof direction of glass for vehicle window is positioned at outside the sealing bound edge of sealing member, and said sealing member is arranged in the framework that holds glass for vehicle window.

In a form of implementation, carry out under the open mode of the glass for vehicle window that can regulate through control apparatus and before the monitoring electronics package carries out the transition to energy saver mode driver element to back rotation.At this,, detect and/or assess the current location and/or the motion of glass for vehicle window by the monitoring electronics package.Especially in the reveal glass in self-propelled vehicle, monitor the position and/or the motion of said glass for vehicle window, so that detect the blocking case that possibly occur.After adjusting motion finished, the monitoring electronics package that for this reason is provided with was linked into energy saver mode, and the monitoring electronics package no longer detects the position of representing glass for vehicle window and/or the sensor signal of motion in said energy saver mode.Therefore in this case, after the adjusting motion of reveal glass finishes and corresponding monitoring electronics package carry out the transition to energy saver mode carry out before driver element according to of the present invention to back rotation.

In the development of method form of the driver element of the control apparatus that is used for being controlled at the motor vehicle windows lifting mechanism, propose, when the door lock of operating motor vehicle, automatically trigger driver element to back rotation.Therefore; The controlling and driving element or in this bonded assembly motor so that driver element is side by side carried out with control door lock or reveal lock in midway location or the dead position to back rotation after the adjusting of expection, make driver element be used for be submerged in main lock noise to the noise of the control that adds of back rotation.

In addition, in form of implementation according to the method for the invention, propose,, reduce the speed of driver element continuously along corresponding adjusting direction in order to stop driver element when the position of the expection that reaches drive element.Usually, drive driver element electronicly, make it possible to reach and stop through breaking off drive current.Therefore now suddenly do not carry out the disconnection of drive current, but reduce drive current on the contrary continuously and reduce the speed of driver element, stop up to driver element.

For this reason, at the control unit that is used for driver element or in this bonded assembly actuator, preferably be provided with and have semi-conductive circuit branch, said circuit branch ramped shaped ground connects the trend that reduces the drive current of being imported.Through using this slope-branch road can reach the position of the expection of drive element not too suddenly.In addition; Just in time when regulating glass for vehicle window via described control apparatus; Reaction force acts is on glass for vehicle window or drive element; Said antagonistic force through glass for vehicle window elastic reaction and through the tension in window frame to drive element, the glass for vehicle window that wherein guiding remains to be regulated in said window frame.If now driver element suddenly or suddenly stops, so with drive element bonded assembly glass for vehicle window affact reset force on the drive element obviously greater than the reset force that slows down continuously at driver element and up to driver element fully stops after, act on.

In addition, the speed that is used for per time or every time quantum of driver element reduce degree and driver element before during the rotation of driver element measured speed relevant.Correspondingly, the slope of the slope-branch road in the circuit arragement of control unit according to driver element around its S. A., before the turn speed that draws during the rotation carried out change so that perhaps carry out the deceleration of driver element relatively more by force more weakly.

The speed of driver element and/or position are monitored through at least one the driving sensor unit that generates the driving sensor signal in form of implementation according to the method for the invention, via said driving sensor signal can automatically release position driver element and/or drive element and/or.For this reason, a driving sensor signal or a plurality of driving sensor signal are assessed by one or more driving sensors of electronics assessment unit.Therefore, especially can have what kind of position and/or speed through the anti-drive element that drives by driver element of releasing of the measurement on driver element.

Therefore fully generally, in the control apparatus of motor vehicle windows lifting mechanism, release the position of glass for vehicle window by the position of driver element.Therefore, for example confirm the position along its adjustable track of glass for vehicle window via the angular position of rotation of the driver element that can center on the S. A. rotation.Through the association that between the angular position of rotation of driver element and glass position, exists, the position of monitoring driver element and/or the driving sensor unit of speed can also be used for anti-card protection.Especially at this, work by the advantage of discussing according to formation of the present invention of described method.Therefore; In the method according to the invention because driver element motivated to back rotation, the adjusting slightly, that import at slave end of middleware up to said middleware locking all do not cause driver element and therefore the mistake of the position of glass for vehicle window measure and infringement anti-sticking defencive function.

Likewise; If when applying hold torque, begin to regulate driver element from the holding position; The adjusting direction of driver element can easily be released in so this driving sensor unit; Because when dynamically loading drive element, because the hold torque that is applied or imported only is allowed on definite, a preset adjusting direction.Therefore, for example can discern according to the Hall pulse (Hallimpulsen) that when driver element moves, produces with the form formation of armature and with the adjusting motion of electrically operated driver element bonded assembly driver element.The frequency of the quantity of the Hall pulse that therefore, is produced and the Hall pulse that is produced provides about the speed of driver element and the situation of change in location in (expectedly trigger and/or caused through the torque that imports at slave end) adjusting motion of driver element.

In order not make the driving sensor cell operation constantly and after the adjusting motion of expection finishes, to practice thrift the electric current that is used to make the driving sensor cell operation; Can propose; When driver element stopped after adjusting motion finishes, the driving sensor unit was inoperative.For this reason, the electronics package that is associated is in energy saver mode, promptly so-called " dormancy " pattern (English " sleep " is German " Schlaf ").When user's adjusted device, the driving sensor unit just is activated from this energy saver mode usually once more.On the contrary; In form of implementation of the present invention, propose; The driving sensor unit design becomes can " wake " (English " wake up " is German " aufwachen ") up; Make when at least one with drive that the sensing device coupling joins or when being arranged on wherein sensor and arriving the motion of driver element, the driving sensor unit automatically works once more.Therefore, as long as the motion of record driver element, for example because the torque that suddenly imports at slave end, the driving sensor unit just automatically and with the operation of the expection of control apparatus irrespectively works once more.

For select in or be complemented at the driving sensor unit, can also irrespectively detect current glass position with driver element, said driving sensor unit is the part that is used to treat the supervisory circuit of the glass for vehicle window regulated by control apparatus when needing.Directly and therefore therefore, via for example can irrespectively detecting actual glass position with corresponding related between the position of the position of driver element and/or motion and glass for vehicle window to be regulated and/or motion through glass for vehicle window or driver element at (additional) the glass sensing device on the driven device of electrically operated driver element or at least one (additional) sensor.

A kind of method of proposition on the other hand that especially can easily combine of the present invention with the method feature of being illustrated before; Wherein driver element respectively around its S. A. along two possible and reciprocal first and second rotations of regulating in the directions, so that affact in two portion's sections of middleware one and go up and will give drive element to be driven via one in portion's section of middleware transmission of torque that imports in the middleware by driver element along regulating in the direction one.With regard to this respect, this above-mentioned mode of action with described control apparatus is consistent.

In addition, the adjusting motion of driver element is monitored through at least one the driving sensor unit that generates the driving sensor signal now, can release the position of driver element after adjusting motion finishes via said driving sensor signal.Said (theory) position of driver element for example is stored in the integrated evaluation module of driving sensor unit.

According to a further aspect in the invention; Driver element is carrying out adjusting motion so that before via a transmitting torque in portion's section of middleware along the first adjusting direction; At first regulating direction along second rotates; In portion's section of driver element and middleware another contacts, and is based on and regulates direction along first and carry out regulating direction up to the stored position of check, the highway section of another process of said section along second before the adjusting motion.

Can get rid of reliably by this way; (at first) of driver element not detected motion or displacement causes the deviation between real (reality) position and stored (theory) position, and wherein said not detected motion or displacement possibly appear between two (activating) adjusting motions of driver element and drive element motivatedly.Therefore; Another (second) portion section of detection from the driver element to the middleware the highway section of process; And therefore allow following assessment automatically, promptly driver element before, that is to say before initially regulating on another (second) portion section that rests on middleware where be physically located in.

This especially preferred be important when using said method for the control apparatus in (self-propelled vehicle) window lift mechanism, wherein release the current location of glass for vehicle window to be regulated via the position that is drawn of driver element.If stored (theory) position of driver element maybe be for example since motor-driven vehicle going on abominable highway section no longer with real (reality) position consistency of driver element, so also draw the current location of glass for vehicle window by error.Thus; The estimation that makes a mistake aspect for example can the blocking case when the adjusting motion of glass for vehicle window is because (theory) distance that real (reality) between seamed edge on the glass for vehicle window and door case distance does not go out with respect to the position calculation based on the storage of driver element.

Preferably; By the position of being monitored driver element by the rotational pulse that when driver element moves, is produced, and (theory) position that will be after adjusting motion finishes stores or passes to corresponding exterior memory module as the meter reading of detected rotational pulse by the driving sensor unit.Through regulate the real adjusting motion of direction execution along (first) before; Wherein driver element is conditioned together with drive element; Under less than the situation that affacts drive element at this, regulate driver element along another (second) adjusting direction motivatedly; Up to detecting (second) portion section on the second adjusting direction that is positioned at that contact perhaps rests on middleware; Can via up to contact or rest on second section process the highway section and for example at this measured rotational pulse, before drawing reliably by actual (reality) position that occupies of driver element.If measured or (reality) position that calculates and stored so far (theory) position are inconsistent; So correspondingly revise stored (theory) position or be used for really that the value of (reality) position covers, i.e. correction position meter reading for example.

For example draw at this, up to measured quantity during the adjusting motion formerly performed, check that rests on rotational pulse on (being positioned at second regulates on a direction) end portion section whether be greater than or less than through before stored (theory) position predict or the quantity of preset rotational pulse.

At this; By measure commonly used; For example rise or descend, detect whether driver element contacts with (second) portion section of middleware before real adjusting motion via the rotating speed of confirming in the perhaps rotational motion that rotatablely moves at driver element through detecting at the electric current on (electrically operated) driver element that drives driver element.

At this; The inventive aspect of being illustrated before can also easily combining is used the calibration of (theory) position of the illustrated check of stored (theory) position or opposite (reality) position that rotation drew, original through driver element and storage, wherein implements the motivated to back rotation of driver element.Therefore, especially can also driver element motivatedly to back rotation before the midway location or after carry out the check of (theory) position of storage.

Explain like the front, another aspect of the invention is a kind of according to right 17 described control apparatuss on request.

Control apparatus according to the present invention has at least one adjustable drive element, middleware and driver element.At this, driver element drives drive element via middleware, and being used for motion, and driver element and middleware and drive element center on the S. A. rotatably support respectively.Preferably, be unique, common axis of rotation at this, so that can driver element, middleware and drive element be rotatably supported in the common housing.In addition, control apparatus also constitutes, make through middleware with transmission of torque drive side, that import by driver element to drive element, and through torque middleware locking slave end, that import by drive element.According to top form of implementation; This control apparatus preferably constitutes coil spring; Rest on the inwall of housing to said coil spring frictional engagement, and said coil spring strains when driver element affacts on the middleware, and when drive element affacts on the middleware, open; Make driver element can expectedly give drive element, and middleware pin under the torque situation that is produced by drive element with transmission of torque via middleware.

The specific embodiment

In Figure 1A and 1B, the form of implementation according to control apparatus 1 of the present invention is described with the lateral plan that dissects.Main member at control apparatus 1 shown in the yz section plane.Have the load moment locking mechanism, comprise the middleware 3 and the drive element 4 of driver element 5, coil spring form at the control apparatus shown in this at double side acting, in the section-drawing of Figure 1A and 1B with said drive element bonded assembly or form above that first and

second contact claw

41 and 42 and protrude from said drive element.Driver element 5, middleware 3 and drive element 4 are arranged in the common housing along S. A. M each other continuously or each other abreast.

Driver element 5, middleware 3 and drive element 4 are rotatably supported within the common housing around S. A. M respectively.Although possible in principle is that the corresponding S. A. that is used for each described parts differs from one another, i.e. for example skew ground setting a little each other in the yz section plane.But; Under the situation that control apparatus 1 constitutes compactly and assembling capacity in order to be more prone to; Preferably; Three said parts (driver element 5, drive element 4 and middleware 3) are rotatably mounted around unique, common axis of rotation M, and said S. A. also is provided for the bolster of the entity of driver element 5 and drive element 4 except (virtual) S. A..In other words, the driver element 5 of shown control apparatus 1 is rotatably supported on the S. A. M of entity with drive element 4.

Driver element 5 is positioned within the common housing with middleware 3 and drive element 4, wherein at the peviform housing component 2 that has circular basal plane shown in Figure 1A and the 1B.The medial surface of housing component 2 forms brake surface 20, and said brake surface limits the hollow inner space of housing component 2.Brake surface 20 is opposite to the friction face 30 of middleware 3 with little distance.At this, the friction face 30 of middleware 3 directly rests on the brake surface 20 at least in part.Correspondingly, Figure 1A illustrates dead position, does not just in time have (fully) frictional engagement ground perhaps to rest on the brake surface 20 of housing component 2 by its friction face 30 along its circumference all sidedly when wherein middleware 3 needs.At this, the brake surface of middleware 3 30 limits through lateral surface, and said lateral surface forms the middleware 3 that constitutes coil spring, and said middleware has it along the continuous each other coil (referring to Fig. 8 A) of S. A. M (on the x direction).Therefore, middleware 3 extends in housing component 2 along S. A. M and around S. A. M basically tubularly.

Middleware 3 is formed by material for example spring steel, longitudinal extension, rod, and said material forms middleware 3 around axis with reeling.Correspondingly, said middleware has two (end) portion sections 31 and 32.First end portion section (31) and the second end portion section (32) are opened and are basically vertically extend in the inner space of housing 2 away from brake surface 20 and friction face 30.The material thickness 33 of middleware 3 is explained in Figure 1A and 1B equally.

The

contact claw

41 and 42 of drive element 4 has two respectively in the claw portion section 44.1 and 44.2 or 45.1 and 45.2 that is projected on the x direction on the driver element 5, the extension along circular arc around S. A. M of said claw portion's section.At this; Correspondingly have length ε big microscler claw portion section 44.2 or 45.2 and the little microscler claw portion section 44.1 or 45.1 that correspondingly has a littler length δ constitute each other with the pyramidal type of ladder respectively; Make little claw portion section 44.1 or 45.1 with respect in the lateral plan that dissects under the big claw portion section 44.2 or 45.2 of extending protuberance, and basically medially protruding on corresponding big claw portion section 44.2 or 45.2.

On the claw portion section 44.1 of (first) contact claw 41, be provided with the first stop surface 43a, the first end portion section 31 of middleware 3 is being regulated direction S along first ₁Rest on during adjusting on the said stop surface.On the darker big claw portion section 44.2 of the first contact claw 41, be provided with the second stop surface 43b again, the second end portion section 32 of middleware along with first regulate direction S ₁The second opposite adjusting direction S ₂Rest on during adjusting on said second stop surface.Two

stop surface

43a, 43b are basically parallel to S. A. M respectively and extend.Therefore, by driver element 5 along two possible adjusting direction S ₁, S ₂In the middleware 3 of a driving affact on the drive element 4 at the plane of action 43a of claw 41 or the

end portion section

31 and 32 on the 43b via it respectively so that said middleware rotates within stationkeeping or static housing component 2 around S. A. M.

Driver element 5 constitutes two opposed driving

claws

51,52 symmetrically.In the said driving

claw

51,52 each has (top) big microscler contact part section 54.1 or 55.1 and thereunder point to (bottom) little microscler contact part section 54.2 or 55.2 of drive element 4 along the x direction respectively.Therefore; The end regions adjacent to friction face 30 that drives

claw

51 or 52 constitutes; Make and have under the big contact part section 54.1,55.1 of length b (towards the direction of drive element 4); Little contact part section 54.2 or 55.2 with littler length a is protruding respectively, and wherein said end regions has big respectively and littler contact part section 54.1 and 54.2 or 55.1 and 55.2 that form above that.

(the first) the big claw portion section 54.1 of driving claw 51 has (first) plane of action 53a, is regulating direction S along first ₁When regulating, promptly regulate direction S along first at driver element 5 ₁During rotation, can rest on the first end portion section 31 through said plane of action driver element 5, so as with transmission of torque on middleware 3 and passive element 4.On the opposed little claw portion section 55.2 of (second) driving claw 52, be provided with (second) plane of action 53b, regulating direction S along second ₂When regulating, rest on the second end portion section 32, so that transmission of torque is delivered on the drive element 4 by stop surface 43b to middleware 3 and therefore through said plane of action driver element 5.

Therefore, the driver element 5 of control apparatus 1 can be regulated direction S along first via first end portion section 31 ₁Affact on the middleware 3, and via middleware 3 with transmission of torque to drive element 4.Therefore; The first end portion section 31 of middleware 3 is opposite to the contact claw 41 of drive element 4 with little distance il; Make with power by driver element 5 towards the directive effect of contact claw 41 to 3 last times of middleware, said power is transferred to or is delivered on the contact claw 41.At this, when first end portion section 31 when the direction of contact claw 41 stands power or the torque of driver element 5, the middleware 3 that flexibly constitutes is strained within housing component 2.Diameter through tension middleware 3 said middlewares diminishes, and feasible gap or this gap that is formed between brake surface 20 and the friction face 30 becomes big, and middleware 3 does not have frictionally with respect to housing component 2 rotations or rotation together with driver element 5.

Middleware 3 by driver element 5 along regulating direction S ₁That be in that first section 31 of motion must process and rest on the amount that highway section on (first) stop surface 43a of claw 41 of drive element 4 is equivalent to distance il up to first section 31, said distance is described the angle of departure of middleware 3 at this.Prestress by middleware 3 draws said angle of departure η, so that the friction face 30 of middleware is rested on the brake surface 20.Under the driving situation, before middleware 3 begins to rotate, first end portion section 31, i.e. first shank of coil spring must at first be driven the amount of the said angle of departure η of motion by driver element 5.

Through the contact claw 41 together with the first end portion section 31 that is driven and then co-rotation drive drive element 4.Therefore, as long as drive element is driven via middleware 3 by driver element 5 for this reason, drive element 4 is just implemented the rotation around S. A. M.

The angular dependence of also in Figure 1A, explaining relate between the little claw portion section 55.2 that drives claw 52 in (conversion) gap (angle ω) that structurally is provided with between drive element 4 and the driver element 4, at middleware 3 and second or in the gap (angle ψ) between middleware 3 and the driver element 5 and the gap (angle μ) between middleware 3 and drive element 4.At this; Angle ω is greater than angle ψ and η sum; So that guarantee that driver element 5 is when the conversion rotational motion; Promptly be transformed into the decline of glass for vehicle window or when vice versa, always at first arrive and correspondingly do not receive the

end portion section

31,32 of load and can eliminate Separation or angle of departure η in lifting from glass for vehicle window GS.

If stop to driving the adjusting motion that drive element is carried out; So elastomeric middleware 3 is lax once more; Make the friction face 30 of said middleware once more near brake surface 20, make friction face 30 and brake surface 20 be in the contact of friction each other at least or be connected to frictional engagement each other.Usually, first drives claw 51 keeps next-door neighbour's first end portion section 31 after driver element 5 stops, and said first end portion's section is because the prestress of middleware 3 and the tension of said middleware are at first left angle of departure η from plane of action 43a.

If import in the middleware 3 via contact claw 41 according to the power F of the slave end of Figure 1B on drive element 4 or the torque of slave end now; Middleware 3 is supported on the inwall that constitutes brake surface 20 of housing component 2 by its friction face 30 so, and therefore stops the motion of drive element 4.Therefore, the coil spring of middleware 3 opens, and makes its diameter become greatly and strengthen the friction force that causes the frictional engagement between brake surface 20 and friction face 30.Therefore, can not cause the adjusting motion that still for this reason is positioned at the driver element 5 on the x direction equally along S. A. M via the drive element 4 (almost) that in shown embodiment deformation program, is positioned on the x direction along S. A. M.

Because current, wherein regulate direction S by driver element 5 along two through said control apparatus for having the control apparatus 1 at double side acting of coil spring drg ₁, S ₂(conter clockwise and cw on the one hand on the other hand) can be with transmission of torque to drive element 4; So be provided with (second) contact claw 42 that is opposite to (first) contact claw 41 of drive element 4; The said second contact claw; As illustrated, can with the second end portion section 32 of middleware 3, promptly second spring end of coil spring or shank the contact.

The shown control apparatus 1 current parts that constitute the regulon V motor vehicle windows lifting mechanism or corresponding window regulator FH especially can be adjusted the glass for vehicle window GS (referring to Fig. 8 B) of car door via said parts.At this, drive via the driver element 5 that actuator A or driver element by for example electrical motor cause motion with glass for vehicle window GS bonded assembly drive element 4 so that with glass for vehicle window GS along the preset adjustable track in car door along moving direction R ₁Promote and along opposite moving direction R ₂Fall.Via the stopping function of middleware 3 can avoid reliably glass for vehicle window GS not conditioning desired motion or to the not conditioning desired limit movement of major general's glass for vehicle window to minimum.

Main in this article problem is dynamic load, and wherein glass for vehicle window GS is along reciprocal action direction (R ₁, R ₂) alternately load effectively along its adjustable track.Special when going on the rugged traffic way of self-propelled vehicle in for example pavement of stone block, glass for vehicle window GS is because the balleting of self-propelled vehicle is born alternately makes progress (towards the direction R of roof ₁) and downward (the direction R at the bottom of the car ₂) effect power.Because glass for vehicle window GS for example also is given to said power the drive element 4 of control apparatus 1 via the drivening piece M1 that can move along its adjustable track, M2 with in this bonded assembly driver train Z, thus elastomeric middleware 3 through occur at slave end and repeatedly be loaded and unload at the torque of its action direction and/or thickness up conversion power F according to Figure 1B.

Although middleware 3 has been avoided the unallowed bigger adjusting of drive element 4 in principle through the supporting of its described frictional engagement on the brake surface 20 of the housing component 2 of basin shape and has therefore been avoided the unallowed bigger adjusting GS of glass for vehicle window GS.Yet; The power peak value or the torque peak that just in time when dynamically loading, occur can take place more frequently; Provide enough frictional engagement with brake surface 20 so that before (finally) locking at middleware 3; The corresponding

end portion section

31,32 that loads through drive element 4 of middleware 3, for example the end portion section 31, at first motion stop highway section κ.If now driver element 5 after the adjusting of expection, be close to middleware 3 respective end

portions portion section

31,32 or even after regulating, directly rest in addition on the

end portion section

31,32 of middleware 3 (referring to Figure 1A and 1B), so driver element 5 maybe be also the perhaps said stop highway section κ of its (end)

portion section

31,32 of motion middleware 3 at least in part.At this, the torque of this slave end current along with driver element 5 before adjusting direction S ₁Opposite adjusting direction S ₂Effect and therefore represent that glass for vehicle window GS moves downward.

Current, said problem is by improved control apparatus 1 and be used to treat that the control corresponding method of the driver element 5 of motorized adjustment solves.At this, after drive element 4 reached the position of expection, driver element 5 was motivatedly in contrast to its adjusting direction S before ₁Or S ₂To the preset highway section of back rotation, driver element 5 had before affacted on the middleware 3 via said section away from (end)

portion section

31,32 of middleware 3.

This especially will explain by following accompanying drawing further.

Also in the section-drawing of the signal of Fig. 2, through the most important function element within the housing 2 that is placed in of control apparatus, promptly driver element 5, the middleware 3 that constitutes coil spring and drive element 4 are explained control apparatus 1.

At this, the middleware 3 that constitutes coil spring is also worked as driver element 5 along regulating direction S around perhaps surrounding driver element 5, making ₁Or S ₂(conter clockwise or cw) turns to first section 31 or second 32 last time of section around S. A. M, being formed in it respectively and driving on first or the second

end portion section

31 or 32 that plane of

action

53a and 53b on

claw

51,52 can affact middleware 3 of driver element 5.At this, driver element 5 can be at two end portion sections 31, the gap ψ that rotate to allow respectively between 32, up to two portion's

sections

31,32 in one contact, and driver element 5 not with transmission of torque to middleware 3.

Constitute basically vertically the extending in the inner space in the inside of this housing component that no longer illustrates 2, that partly form through drive element 4 and driver element 5 of middleware 3 of coil spring, and correspondingly protrude from the brake surface 30 of middleware 3 towards the direction of said inner space along the direction of S. A. M as the

end portion section

31 and 32 of spring end.

Dead position has been described in Fig. 2, and driver element 5, middleware 3 and drive element 4 especially directly occupy said dead position mutually after assembling control apparatus 1.At this, through angle [alpha] _HExplanation between middleware 3 and driver element 5 the gap that is provided with according to structure and through angle μ _HThe gap of explanation between drive element 4 and middleware 3.Correspondingly, stop surface 43a that on drive element 4, is provided with and 43b are positioned at the first and second end portion sections 31 that are associated with said stop surface respectively of

middleware

3 or 32 distance along being used for adjustable track drive element 4, that preset around S. A. M respectively.Said distance is passed through angle μ respectively in shown dead position _H(as the amount that is used for primary clearance) or μ-μ _HRepresent.

Similarly, (first) plane of action 53a of driver element 5 and (second) plane of action 53b lay respectively in the distance of first end portion section 31 or the second end portion section 32 of middleware 3, and said distance is passed through angle [alpha] _H(as the amount that is used for primary clearance) or ψ-α _HRepresent.

For regulate drive element 4 (for for example promote according to Fig. 8 B with drive element 4 bonded assembly motor vehicle window pane GS), driver element 5 is through propulsive effort F _AAlong regulating direction S ₁Rotate around S. A. M.The first end portion section 31 (first shank or first spring arm) that rests on middleware 3 up to the plane of action 53a of driver element 5 goes up and affacts on the middleware via first end portion section 31, and therefore, said driver element is through highway section α _HUp to driver element 5 can via first end portion section 31 with transmission of torque to drive element 4, driver element 5 still must be along regulating direction S together with middleware 3 ₁Through highway section μ _HThitherto, first section 31 just touches on the first stop surface 43a of drive element 4, makes first end portion section 31 be clamped between drive element 4 and the driver element 5 and drive element 4 is driven by driver element 5, to be used for along regulating direction S ₁Around S. A. M motion.This is shown in Fig. 3 A.

In Fig. 4 A explanation when drive element 4 needs through driver element more than 5 time fully around S. A. M rotate, driver element 5 stops and after back rotation resetted angle α, drive element 4 arrived the position of expection.The distance of the second stop surface 43b of drive element 4 and the second end portion section 32 of middleware 3 deducts angle of departure η at this by the gap μ between drive element 4 and middleware 3 and representes.Angle of departure η be illustrated in the locking, frictional engagement of middleware 3 and housing component 2 or at least friction ground lean on the brake surface of putting 20 to separate and middleware 3 does not have the highway section of

end portion section

31,32 necessary processes before the associated movement frictionally together with driver element 5.The distance of the end portion section 32 of middleware 3 and the second plane of action 53b of driver element 4 deducts the angle α that resets by the gap ψ between middleware 3 and driver element 5 and representes in the said midway location of driver element 5.

In the final position shown in Fig. 4 A, middleware 3 no longer keeps and the contacting of driver element 5 via its end portion section.On the contrary, driver element 5 is along regulating direction S ₂To the back rotation angle α that resets, making wins drives claw 51 and is positioned at the distance of the end portion section 31 of middleware 3 by its plane of action 53a, and said distance is greater than stop highway section or stop angles κ.Therefore; Even at middleware 3 because drive element 4 suddenly just must be through stop highway section perhaps corresponding process stop angles κ when slave end loads; So that middleware 3 by enough friction force frictional engagement rested on 20 last times of brake surface; Before middleware 3 (finally) locking, under the torque situation that slave end imports, driver element 5 is the amount of associated movement stop angles κ no longer.

Illustrate as top, monitor the position and/or the motion of driver element 5 possibly via the driving sensor unit AS that in Fig. 2, schematically illustrates, so that release position drive element 4 or connected member.When especially in the motor vehicle windows lifting mechanism, using control apparatus 1;---wherein promote via drive element 4 and perhaps fall glass for vehicle window GS---is preferably by position and/or the adjusting motion of assessing glass for vehicle window through the Hall pulse of driver element 5 generations.

Therefore according to the present invention, driver element 5 passes through electronic control unit motivatedly in contrast to adjusting direction S before ₁Along regulating direction S ₂Around S. A. M to back rotation be equivalent to the to reset preset highway section of angle α; Make between the first end portion section 31 of driver element 5 and middleware 3, to have enough distances that driver element 5 at first causes the adjusting (referring to Fig. 4 A) of drive element 4 via said first end portion section.Therefore; Be used for driver element 5 to back rotation, through the preset highway section of electronic control unit greater than the stop highway section or greater than must by the first end portion section 31 of middleware 3 through or the stop angles κ that stride across, even if up to middleware 3 also locking under emergent torque situation at slave end.Therefore; Can get rid of the damage of not expecting of driver element 5 reliably, because driver element 5 separates (also referring to Fig. 6) with driver element 5 coefficient (end) the

portion section

31 and 32 with being used to regulate drive element 4 of middleware 3 or middleware fully.

But, reset or after back rotation at driver element 5, the end portion section 31 that the angle α that resets is not equivalent to middleware 3 and the first plane of action 53a perhaps with the distance of driver element 5.Therefore, through driver element 5 along regulating direction S ₂That has a mind to also allows the lax of elastomeric middleware 3 to back rotation, makes the portion's section 31 of winning because opening of middleware 3 centers on the direction moved apart angle η of central S. A. M towards driver element 5.Therefore, first end portion section 31 at first just in time shortens said angle of departure η with the distance of driver element 5.

Therefore; According to Fig. 4 A; Driver element 5 according to the present invention to back rotation in midway location; When said midway location needs two

end portion sections

31,32 of driver element 5 and middleware 3 apart from aspect dead position with Fig. 3 A consistent, said dead position is equivalent to the delivery status of control apparatus 1 when needing, wherein said driver element is along two adjusting direction S ₁And S ₂Be bearing in movingly between the said end portion section.At this, angle α so and the gap α between middleware 3 and driver element 5 reset _HEquate.

According to which regulates direction S along ₁, S ₂The adjusting of the expection of drive element 4 at first takes place, and resetting of driver element 5 perhaps also can be carried out with highway section α different, that preset to back rotation.For example; Falling motor vehicle window pane (through rotating drive element 5 in a clockwise direction in Figure 1A, 1B, 2,3A, 4A and 5A) afterwards; Driver element 5 can to back rotation between driver element 5 and the middleware 3, compare gap ψ bigger aspect amount with the angle α that resets in (second) midway location or holding position; Make driver element 5 rest on the first end portion section 31 and reduce the servo-actuated of glass for vehicle window GS, promptly further descend (referring to Figure 1A).

Preferably, the state of opening of the glass for vehicle window GS that can regulate through control apparatus 1 down and the monitoring electronics package carry out the transition to energy saver mode carry out before driver element 5 to back rotation.At this, perhaps combine to be used for the driving sensor unit AS that the is elucidated later herein below detection of driver element 5 and/or current position and/or the motion of assessment glass for vehicle window GS when needing independently by the monitoring electronics package.

Therefore, (adjusting) motion (also) that is perhaps triggered by the user that activates at this control unit by driver element 5 is monitored through at least one driving sensor unit AS.Therefore, release the position of when therefore needing (and glass for vehicle window GS) of after adjusting motion finishes driver element 5 based on the driving sensor signal that generates by driving sensor unit AS.This (theory) position of driver element 5 (for example is position P among below accompanying drawing 3B, 4B and the 5B ₂ ^*And/or P ₃ ^*) for example be stored in the evaluation module or memory module of driving sensor unit AS.This said positional value that is stored can so be used to continue to handle; For example be particularly useful for anti-sticking system, wherein assess the distance of crossbeam on top of last seamed edge and door case of position or the said glass for vehicle window of glass for vehicle window GS in addition at the window lift mechanism shown in Fig. 8 B.

Possibly between two adjusting motions of initiatively carrying out of driver element 5, (at first) that occur, driver element 5 not have detected motion or displacement in order getting rid of reliably, to regulate direction S along one ₁Or S ₂Carry out adjusting motion so that via before the transmitting torque in the

end portion section

31 or 32 of middleware 3, driver element 5 is at first regulated direction S along another ₂Or S ₁Rotate, contact with the other

end portion section

32 or 31 formation of middleware 3 up to driver element 5.Based on regulating direction S along another ₂Or S ₁The highway section of portion's

section

32 or 31 processes up to the other end;---under the situation that is not affacting middleware 3 and drive element 4 through said highway section drive element 5, rotating---can be used for checking stored (theory) position of driver element 5 before for the real adjusting motion of drive element 4 transmission of torque.

Therefore, detect highway section by driver element 5 portion's

section

32 or 31 processes up to the other end of middleware 3.Said highway section allows as follows assessment automatically, and where in fact originally driver element 5 be positioned at, and is promptly beginning adjusting before resting on respective end portions portion section 32 or 31.Therefore, at driver element 5 along opposite adjusting direction S ₁Or S ₂Rotate so that affact on the drive element 4 and before said drive element rotates around S. A. M, revise when needing driver element 5 stored position and through be used for measured or from the value of (reality) position of calculating, the highway section of process substitute.So guaranteed directly before the adjusting of drive element 4 finishes with afterwards; Storage be used for driver element 5 verified and with actual conditions consistent location value; And therefore as long as release the position of glass for vehicle window GS via the position of driver element 5, also be used for when also storage needs the attested of glass for vehicle window GS and with actual conditions consistent location value.

Therefore; Driver element 5 possibly not have the detected displacement of not expecting; For example because the strong vibrations when self-propelled vehicle goes on abominable highway section; The processing again of the mistake of (theory) positional value that does not cause being stored, said positional value be real (reality) position consistency of (again) and driver element 5 not.

Also by Fig. 3 B and 4B explain once more driver element 5 according to control of the present invention.At this, two accompanying drawings illustrate stroke-time diagram respectively, wherein depict respectively by the stroke of drive element 4 and 5 processes of driver element or by they the highway section d of process respectively ₄Or d ₅, for example as around pivot angle S. A. M, that represent with the number of degrees, and with the different scalar of the glass adjustment travel of for example representing with mm of glass for vehicle window GS respectively and the relation between the time.

Therefore, according to Fig. 3 B, driver element 5 is the dead position P among Fig. 3 A, explaining at first ₀ ^*The section I of part portion in total highway section ₁In along regulating direction S ₁Regulate highway section α _HAnd μ _HThe P up to the position ₁ ^*The P in the position ₁ ^*In, the first end portion section 31 of middleware 3 is adjusted to by driver element and together with driver element 5, makes said middleware rest on the first stop surface 43a of drive element 4.So far, drive element 4 and glass for vehicle window GS are at the section I of portion of said first ₁Begin not to be conditioned from corresponding initial position during this time, wherein said initial position illustrates as same position P0 in the figure of Fig. 3 B.Therefore, the back to back adjusting of driver element 5 directly causes the adjusting of drive element 4.Correspondingly, driver element 5 and the position P among the figures of Fig. 3 B of drive element 4 from driver element 5 ₁ ^*Or the position P of drive element 4 and glass for vehicle window GS ₁Beginning is at the section I of part portion ₂In when continue regulating driver element 5 around S. A. M through identical highway section, make in shown figure, to draw the segment section that the linearity under whole three kinds of situation rises.

If drive element 4 reaches expection (finally) position P ₂, driver element 5 perhaps stops (position P in this bonded assembly actuator so ₂ ^*).Position P ₂For example can be the final position or the final place on the top of the glass for vehicle window GS that treats to regulate by drive element 4 of car door, on said position, glass for vehicle window GS closes and covers fully the vehicle window opening in the car door.

The P in the position of the said expection that reaches drive element 4 ₂Afterwards, driver element 5 according to the present invention the P from its final position once more ₂ ^*Along opposite adjusting direction S ₂Reset the amount of angle α to midway location P to back rotation ₃ ^*, and do not affact (Fig. 4 B) on the drive element 4.

Simultaneously, in fact draw drive element 4 and reset at visible (the section I of part portion among Fig. 4 B slightly ₃) lax angle β _eAmount.For example draw the lax angle β that resets owing to tension force intrinsic in door case and/or through the elastic seal in door case _e, glass for vehicle window GS wherein to be regulated is directed in said door case, and glass for vehicle window GS rests on the said door case.Therefore, glass for vehicle window GS and affiliated drive element 5 occupy the position P3 that resets a little.

Because the speed of driver element 5 slows down continuously when the adjusting of expection, can reduce lax angle β _eAmount.Correspondingly, in embodiment deformation program according to the method for the invention, propose, driver element 5 does not suddenly stop, or but brakes continuously and slow down.For this reason, in the circuit arragement of the control unit that joins with control apparatus 1 coupling, for example can be provided with slope-branch road (Rampen-Glied).At this, the slope of this slope branch road can also be according to measured velocity variations before the driver element 5.The slope on this slope especially can be according to controlling in the period of the rotational pulse that when S. A. M rotates, produces through driver element 5.Therefore, can realize the angle β that relaxes owing to be used for the reduction of continuous ramped shaped of the motor current of actuator A after the final place of the top of glass for vehicle window GS within reaching car door or bottom _eAmount reduction and therefore realize resetting of glass for vehicle window GS.

As illustrating position P before ₂ ^*And/or P ₃ ^*Especially can store by evaluation module or the assessment unit of driving sensor unit AS, can also confirm the current location P of glass for vehicle window GS by said driving sensor unit ₂Or P ₃

In addition, the control unit that joins with control apparatus 1 coupling can join with the sensor coupling of vehicle side, said sensor is following allow relevant whether carry out via drive element 4 import slave ends torque (according to the power F of Figure 1B and 6) automatic evaluation or assess.For example close by means of critical situation this identification or prediction for the perhaps detected door that goes of self-propelled vehicle on so-called abominable highway section; Wherein can estimate under two kinds of situation that big relatively force of inertia affacts on the glass for vehicle window of treating to regulate by control apparatus 1, said force of inertia also imports in the drive element 4.

If recognize this critical situation, so driver element 5 from the midway location of Fig. 4 B once more towards the direction motion (referring to Figure 1B) of the first end portion section 31 of middleware 3 and by hold torque along regulating direction S ₁Direction towards first end portion section 31 loads (not shown).Said hold torque reacts on maybe be at slave end along regulating direction S ₂The torque that imports.If now, first end portion section 31 dynamically loads or unloads via drive element 4, so through assisting through the locking of middleware 3 by the driver element 5 of hold torque loading and under any circumstance avoiding regulating direction S along second ₂Regulate drive element 4.

Because regulate direction S ₂The current decline that is equivalent to drive element 4 bonded assembly glass for vehicle window GS, thus since hold torque in case of necessity (momently) along moving direction R ₁Promote glass for vehicle window GS, yet, in no case allow to fall glass for vehicle window GS.This also is favourable for the position finding of carrying out glass for vehicle window GS via driver element 5; Therefore because be arranged in the holding position and driver element 5 that load by hold torque, the possible adjusting motion of driver element 5 and the Hall pulse that is produced thus or rotational pulse can be directly with driver element 5 along the first adjusting direction S ₁Movements.Therefore, driver element 5 is because the hold torque that is applied only can be regulated direction S along second ₂Motion.

Especially in this article, be used for keeping the size of time length and/or the hold torque of hold torque can be, import and/or the position of glass for vehicle window GS is regulated in the detected dynamic power of glass for vehicle window GS to be regulated according to temperature measured on self-propelled vehicle or in the self-propelled vehicle.Therefore, in the time of can either also can aspect it is big or small, being based on abominable highway section in time and going, when for example on pothole, going, import in the qualitative detected dynamic power of glass for vehicle window and to regulate hold torque.Perhaps replenish ground as an alternative, the adjusting that is used for the value of hold torque depends on whether the car door with glass for vehicle window GS to be regulated is under the state of opening and whether glass for vehicle window GS also opens, and promptly falls.Especially can assess glass for vehicle window GS and whether be arranged in so-called short travel position, in said short travel position, the seamed edge on glass towards the vehicle roof direction of glass for vehicle window GS can be positioned at outside the sealing bound edge.

Fig. 5 A and 5B also explain now along second and regulate direction S ₂The adjusting of the drive element 4 that carries out, according to the figure of Fig. 8 B, said second regulates direction is equivalent to along moving direction R ₂Expectedly fall motor vehicle window pane GS.At this, driver element 5 from its in the position P ₃In midway location at first pass through the section I of part portion ₄Highway section ψ-α and μ-η+β _e, be with rotation together by driver element 5 up to drive element 4.According to Fig. 4 A, the said part section I of portion ₄The length amount that is equivalent to the gap ψ between driver element 5 and middleware 3 amount that deducts the angle α that resets add following amount, said amount deducts angle of departure η and adds lax angle β from the gap μ between middleware 3 and drive element 4 _eAmount and draw.(position P driver element 5 rests on the second stop surface 43b of drive element 4 through the second end portion section 32 of said highway sections and middleware 3 after ₄Or P ₄ ^*), drive element 4 is just once more along the section I of part portion ₅Rotate correspondingly identical amount by driver element 5 around S. A. M, and in a similar fashion along regulating direction R ₂Fall glass for vehicle window GS.

Also after glass for vehicle window GS fell, driver element 5 can move in the midway location according to Fig. 4 A once more, so that also get rid of reliably in two ends 31,32 that driver element 5 directly rests on middleware 3 at this.In order to avoid the servo-actuated of glass for vehicle window GS in addition; Promptly because the force of inertia glass for vehicle window that acts on the glass for vehicle window continues decline; Illustrate as top; Can propose in addition, in order to promote glass for vehicle window, driver element 5 is perhaps crossed midway location and is regulated direction S away from the second end portion section 32 ground along first from middle position ₁To swivel motion, rest on up to driver element 5 (the holding position or second midway location with respect to middleware 3 of driver element 5) on the first end portion section 31 of middleware 3.Correspondingly, to the preset highway section of back rotation, said highway section is equivalent to the gap ψ between driver element 5 and middleware 3 to driver element 5 at this.Therefore, reduce perhaps even suppress fully the servo-actuated of glass for vehicle window GS.

Be used for the improved form according to control method of the present invention of driver element 5, via the motion of driving sensor unit AS monitoring driver element 5 with the ability of waking up.That is to say, after the adjusting of expection, make driving sensor unit AS inoperative and be in energy saver mode, and can when having at least one definite sensor signal, automatically work once more.At this; From the monitoring of the motion of driver element 5, can distinguish the sensor signal of activation; Only confirm via said sensor signal; Driver element 5 fully moves and because said sensor signal driving sensor unit AS works once more, wherein in said monitoring, measures the speed and/or the current location of the driver element 5 of motion constantly and continuously.

Can propose in addition, be used for the door interlock coupling of control unit and self-propelled vehicle of the control apparatus 1 of motor vehicle windows lifting mechanism, make when also operating door lock, can automatically trigger driver element 5 to midway location according to of the present invention to back rotation.By this way, be used for the control of driver element 5 and be submerged in the main noise of door lock to the noise of back rotation.

In Fig. 6, explain, when driver element owing to when back rotation mediates, import the moment of slave ends via drive element 4.

In addition, according to diagram of circuit embodiment deformation program according to the method for the invention is described schematically by Fig. 7.

At this, driver element 5 is in first step A in the dead position or midway location according to Fig. 2 or 4A.In following step B, carry out the adjusting of driver element 5, so that drive drive element 4 by means of middleware 3.

If the position that reaches the expection of drive element 4 according to method step C is (for example according to the P of Fig. 3 B, 4B and 5B ₂), so according to the present invention, driver element 5 according to method step D along opposite adjusting direction S ₂Or S ₁(according to previous adjusting direction, so that reach the position of the expection of drive element 4) is to reset the preset and highway section that clearly limit of amount of angle α to back rotation.

After this (as an alternative also before method step D) checks in method step E, whether with drive element 4 bonded assembly glass for vehicle window GS owing to the adjusting motion of driver element 5 descends.If glass for vehicle window GS descends through the adjusting motion of driver element 5; Control unit triggering driver element 5 via control apparatus 1 continues to back rotation gap ψ altogether so; Up to reaching the holding position, driver element 5 rests on the opposite adjusting direction S of being in of middleware 3 in said holding position ₁In (first) (end) portion section 31 (spring end of coil spring or first shank) on so that therefore minimize the possible servo-actuated of the glass for vehicle window GS that descends this moment.

If on the contrary, at first promote glass for vehicle window GS, so according to method step E2 keep driver element 5 according to Fig. 4 A to the reset amount of angle α of back rotation.In other words, driver element 5 is only to the reset amount of angle α and not altogether to the amount of the gap ψ of back rotation between driver element 5 and middleware 3 of back rotation.

If in method step F, confirm now via one or more sensors in the self-propelled vehicle side; Exist or be about to face the critical situation that can expect in the importing of the torque of slave end; In control unit, carry out following evaluation according to method step G so; Driver element 5 is moved with the mode that contacts with the

end portion section

31,32 of middleware 3, on said end portion section, carry out or will carry out the importing of the torque of slave end.Before in the illustrated embodiment deformation program, this is preferably the first end portion section 31 of middleware 3, as long as glass for vehicle window continues to descend with the mode of not expecting, power F or moment just are applied on the said first end portion section so.If driver element 5 has rested on middleware 3 " correct " (first) the end portion section 31 (or also resting on as an alternative on the second end portion section 32) in method step G, so correspondingly do not carry out the continuation of driver element 5 and regulate.

Now; In ensuing method step H, check; Whether hold torque is imported in the driver element 5, even if so that the locking effect of auxiliary middleware 3 and avoid driver element 5 under dynamic load also with unallowed mode along two possible adjusting direction S ₁And S ₂In a definite adjusting direction motion, perhaps guarantee driver element 5, if---really so---, only on the action direction of hold torque, move.

In method step I, also via driving sensor unit AS check, whether be loaded with the motion of the driver element 5 of hold torque in this case as the parts of monitoring electronics package.If because the motion of driver element 5 is confirmed in the Hall pulse that the load dynamic and that therefore change on drive element 4 still for example passes through to be produced, this is assessed as the adjusting direction S along unique permission according to method step I1 so now ₁Adjusting.Under the situation of the pulse that detects not having, according to method step I2 measured position before the driver element is retained in the memory device of the control unit that joins with control apparatus 1 coupling value as the current location that is used for driver element 5.When needing; As long as irrespectively draw the real actual position of glass for vehicle window GS via self monitoring electronics package with driving sensor unit AS, the value stored or that remeasure that is used for the position of driver element just also is assessed as and is used for so the value of the position of glass for vehicle window GS to be regulated.

In method step J, when the critical situation that before sensing, is detected stops, rely on the sensor signal of the sensor of vehicle side to interrupt the input of hold torque.

In addition, (method step B) can propose before at adjusting motion again, to be carried out, and driver element 5 is being regulated direction S along first ₁Or S ₂Carry out regulating direction S along second at first during this period before the adjusting motion ₂Or S ₁Rotate, up to the be positioned at said adjusting direction S of driver element 5 with middleware 3 ₂Or S ₁On

end portion section

32 or 31 contacts regulate direction S so that be based on along first ₁Or S ₂Carry out regulating direction S along second before the adjusting motion ₂Or S ₁Stored position P before the highway section of said

end portion section

32 or 31 processes check driver element 5 ₂ ^*And/or P ₃ ^*

In Fig. 8 A and 8B; Be illustrated in three-dimensional side view and the lateral plan of (self-propelled vehicle) window regulator FH of the coil spring of this middleware that constitutes coil spring 3 or middleware 3, the control apparatus of being described before in the regulon V of said window regulator, existing 1.Regulon V has electrically operated actuator A and drives via draw-off mechanism Z pliable and tough, longitudinal extension in known manner can be along adjustable track at two moving direction R ₁And R ₂The glass for vehicle window GS of adjusted.Draw-off mechanism Z acts on two drivening piece M1 and the M2 for this reason, and said two drivening pieces are connected with glass for vehicle window GS and are directed slidably along guide rail FS1 or FS2 respectively.

Briefly; Therefore can avoid at the transfer of energy of not expecting aspect driven device or the drive element 4 and avoid the reseting movement that do not expect, regeneration of driver element 5 by the present invention, said driver element 5 is preferably the parts of the motor armature of electrically operated actuator A.Reduce the quantity of the necessary controller of the driver element 5 that is used for control apparatus 1 significantly.These noise and wearing and tearing to electromagnetism and parts machinery of control apparatus 1 play a positive role.

Can also improve the association between the angular position of rotation of driver element 5 and drive element 4, the glass for vehicle window GS that especially drives, be used for because the possibility of the mistake measurement that the not conditioning desired of driver element 5 causes because minimized by drive element 4.

Because the prestrain of passing through hold torque of control apparatus 1; Promptly especially through in the motor vehicle windows lifting mechanism along the prestrain of direction of improvement, even if in the dynamic load stage, also got rid of the opposite motion of driver element 4 reliably and therefore for example got rid of the decline of vehicle window GS.If the Hall pulse by the drive electronics generation of monitoring during such stage, still occurs, so said Hall pulse can perhaps definite with the rotation direction of driver element 5 clearly adjusting direction S ₁(lifting) or S ₂(decline) is associated.
