(7) touched as described above by fixed contact of the relay switching control in power supply limitation relay 35 with movable Electric arc is produced between point, high signal whether is detected to conduction detection portion 36, and (whether power supply limitation relay 35 restores To normal condition) judged (step S8).(step S8 in the case of not detecting high signal in conduction detection portion 36: "No"), it is determined as that power supply limitation relay 35 is not restored to normal condition, relay switching control is repeated.With this Relatively, (step S8 in the case of detecting high signal in conduction detection portion 36:"Yes"), it is determined as that power supply limits relay Device 35 is restored to normal condition, performs aftermentioned driving (step S10) of unlocking.
(8) the execution number of relay switching control and execution time are to measure member by the number for being built in microcomputer 19 respectively What part 29 and time measurement element 30 measured, before the execution number of relay switching control reaches stipulated number or hold The row time reach the stipulated time before, in the case that conduction detection portion 36 detects high signal, be judged as that power supply limits Relay 35 restores to normal condition and performs unlocking driving (step S10).For example, as shown in fig. 7, performing relay three times At the time point of device switching control, examined because eliminating foreign matter from the contact of power supply limitation relay 35 by conduction detection portion 36 High signal is measured, in the case, is judged as that power supply limitation relay 35 restores to normal condition and terminates relay Switching control, the control relay 25 that will unlock such as remains like this with power supply limitation relay 26 shown in Fig. 5 (a) to be connected State, and perform unlocking driving (step S10).
Restored not making power supply limit relay 35 by primary relay switching control to the situation of normal condition Under, relay switching control is repeated a number of times, whether rule are reached to the execution number that acquisition is counted by number measuring cell 29 Whether the execution time determined number or acquisition is counted by time measurement element 30 reaches the stipulated time and is judged (step S9). Not up to stipulated time between in the case where the execution number of relay switching control is not up to stipulated number or upon execution In the case of (step S9:"No"), perform relay switching control (step S7).In addition, in the execution time of relay switching control Number reaches stipulated number or performs time (step S9 when reaching the stipulated time:"Yes"), terminate relay switching control.In addition, Even if relay switching control be repeated stipulated number or before the stipulated time, power supply limitation relay 35 restore to Normal condition, also can make relay switching control that stipulated number or stipulated time be repeated.That is, controlled even if switching in relay Power supply limits relay reset to normal condition during system performs, and can also be not diverted into unlocking driving.In this case, under When detecting that power supply limitation relay 35 is restored to normal condition in the processing of secondary above-mentioned (2), driving of unlocking is performed.
Herein, dual lock driving illustrates.
In driving of unlocking, supplied from battery 23 via motor power feed path 24 towards motor driving control section 22 Driving current be supplied to motor 14 via the path shown in arrow in Fig. 5 (a), therefore, start the motor 14, its While being slowed down by worm screw 15 and worm gear 12a, an edge direction is transferred to gear part by 90 degree of conversion for the rotation of output shaft 14a 12, so that the gear part 12 rotates.Therefore, the driver 7 formed with outer screw section 7a overcome spring 13 active force and to Lower movement, wherein, above-mentioned outer screw section 7a is screwed togather with carving the female threaded portion 12b of the inner circumferential arranged on gear part 12.When driver 7 When so moving down, the arm 7A being integrally formed with the driver 7 and the locking bolt 8 being connected using pin 9 with driver 7 are downward It is mobile.
When the arm 7A of driver 7 as described above moves down, locking bolt 8 reaches the lockset position of coupler of lower limit as shown in Figure 2 When, the magnetic force of magnet 11 is unlocked sensor 18 and detects, power supply limitation relay 35 is switched to NC sides and becomes and cut Disconnected state (off-state), to stop the power supply towards motor 14, so as to stop the driving of the motor 14.Such one Come, the upper end of locking bolt 8 just retreats to the inside of the locking bolt inserting hole 3d of housing 3, and therefore, locking bolt 8 is with turning Engaging to axis is released from.As a result, the locking of steering spindle is released from and becomes unlocking condition, driver being capable of implementing direction The rotation process of disk, vehicle can travel.
In addition, confirming to make power supply control relay 35 to restore to normal condition by relay switching control When, (power supply limitation relay 35 and unlocking control relay 25 and locking control relay 26 are not cut like this Move work) perform the above unlocking driving, therefore, shorten unlock driving complete untill time.
2) lock out action:
In relay switching control in lock out action, abnormal situation is produced in power supply limits relay 35 Lower performed relay switching control is identical with relay switching control during unlocking action.That is, as shown in figure 4, ought incite somebody to action Control relay 25 of unlocking is connected to above-mentioned electric power under the contacts status of ground side (disconnection side) with control relay 26 is locked During supply limitation 35 switching-on state of relay, power supply limitation relay 35 is not detected in conduction detection portion 36 In the case of conducting state, the microcomputer 19 of electric steering-lock device 1 performs relay switching control.
In relay switching control in lock out action, supply power to limitation relay 35 and switch to dissengaged positions (off-state), and controlled as shown in Fig. 5 (b) by the contact change-over for control relay 25 of unlocking to off-state, by locking In the state of the contact change-over of relay 26 to on-state, supply power to limitation 35 switching-on state of relay and (connect Logical state), electric arc is produced to remove foreign matter between the moving contact of power supply limitation relay 35 and fixed contact.
