Embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1, the motor that is used for vehicle door latch is integrally with 10 expressions.This device comprises motor 12, and it has output shaft 14, this output shaft in use will be rotated and parts in the driving gate breech lock with the lock door breech lock or open breech lock (for example).
Motor 12 has first terminals 16 and second terminals 18, is used for being electrically connected with power supply and makes output shaft 14 rotations.
In this embodiment, electronic device 10 is assemblied in the left hand side door of vehicle, and this requires the output shaft 14 of motor 12 to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction, and purpose is to make the parts in the breech lock move to the open site and unlatching from first latched position.
Very clearly, if with respect to the polarity of the power supply of introducing by cable 22,24, the terminals 16 of motor 12,18 orientation is not right, and then the output shaft 14 of motor 12 will rotate in a clockwise direction, and this will prevent that door is opened between the active stage of motor 12.
Fig. 2 is the schematic block diagrams of having assembled the latch lock component 30 of electronic device 10 shown in Figure 1.Breech lock 30 comprises first parts 32, the rotation of output shaft in its response motor device 10 and rotate to the second place from primary importance on pivot, thereby locking breech lock 30.Breech lock 30 also comprises sensor 34, and it is set to detection part 32 and whether has moved to the second place.
In the typical assembling process of vehicle, motor 12 was installed in the latch 30 before being electrically connected to wire harness 38.Latch 30 is installed to after corresponding door goes up, and door is closed to cause the mode that breech lock 30 enters lock-out state.Under lock-out state, first parts 32 are in primary importance, thereby when the output shaft 14 of motor 12 rotated with correct direction, parts 32 will be caused and move to the second place, and then breech lock 30 is rendered as opening.
Should be noted that the ECU36 among Fig. 2 comprises control module 40, its operation is controlled by computer program.Now with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 electronic device 10 typical operation that is carried out that combines with control module 40 is launched to describe.
When breech lock 30 is in known lock-out state, control module 40 is programmed for " first checks " pattern that enters.Under this pattern, module 40 is communicated by letter with ECU36, thereby begins motor 12 is powered by wire harness 38, and purpose is that the output shaft 14 of motor 12 is rotated along first direction.
Drive the first time in response to motor 12, control module 40 is programmed for the parts 32 that recognize in the latch 30 should moves to the second place from primary importance.Particularly, in response to the current driving of motor 12, control module 40 is programmed for prediction sensor 34 will detects latch 32 and move to the second place from primary importance.
After the time period of setting, control module 40 is programmed for " second checks " pattern that enters, wherein module 40 detects ECU36 and whether receives the signal that moves that indication latch 32 carries out requirement from sensor 34, promptly detects breech lock 32 and whether has presented opening.
If detecting, control module 40 in the preset time section, do not receive this signal, then control module 40 is programmed for " fault finding " (fault finding) pattern that enters, whether incorrect to measure the orientation of motor 12 in latch 30, perhaps measure assembling process and whether have more great fault.
In the first step of " fault finding " pattern, control module causes ECU36 to reverse the polarity of the power supply of driving motor 12.For example, if wire harness 38 be set in advance jumper cable 22,24 respectively just-negative supply, then reverse polarity and make wire harness 38 with negative-positive dirction effectively to motor 12 power supplies.
After the polarity of power supply was reversed, control module 40 reentered " first check " pattern, and purpose is to start the power supply of motor 12 and mobile latch 32.Enter the next one " second checks " pattern afterwards to wait for signal from sensor 34.
In next second checking mode, if detecting ECU36, control module 40 receives signal, then control module 40 stops its program, and allows vehicle to enter the next stage of assembling process.
On the contrary, during next second checking mode, do not detect moving of latch 32 if control module 40 recognizes sensor 34, then control module 40 is sent alerting signal and is required to carry out more approaching inspection with indication, as carries out manual inspection.
Should be appreciated that control module 40 and ECU36 can be connected with the motor of any number in any given breech lock, and can be connected with a plurality of given breech locks on the vehicle.Controller can be set at and simultaneously or in a sequence detect each motor as requested.Can be each motor but the operational movement that an independent sensor detects motor is set, for example monitoring is used for that general locking/unblank, superlock, power in one or more breech locks discharges, the motor of power maintenance (power cinch) and child-resistant operation.
Should be appreciated that the present invention is useful especially to the number of times aspect that reduces manual examination (check), otherwise, when beginning to be installed to breech lock on the car door between the erecting stage first time, necessarily require to carry out manual examination (check) at vehicle.
Determined as above-mentioned method, control module can comprise storer, and it is programmed to store the operational orientation of each motor in the given breech lock.This is very favourable under the situation that ECU is reset after vehicle begins to assemble.Especially, by the operational orientation of store electricity motivation, control module can guarantee when ECU resets that the polarity to the power supply of motor power supply is correct.
This module also can detect motor and whether have basic problem.Whether for example, control module can be set at, during first checking mode, detect motor by the electric current of monitoring beginning during the motor power supply and begin to rotate fully.
The advantage of this module is that not only it can be used for detecting motor in the vehicle door latch whether to want The orientation running of asking also can help to detect whether have other faults in the vehicle door latch, for example electricity In the motivation or the fault in all the other parts of breech lock or unusual, concrete as relevant sensor or removable The fault of latch.
