Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for controlling a motor vehicle door lock according to the preamble of claim 6.

  • the motor vehicle door lock further comprises a sensor for detecting the position, in particular rotational position of the drive or the associated actuating element, and a control device for positioning the drive or the actuating element in a desired position, the drive at a temporally or locally before the target position lying off switching point shuts off or short circuits.
  • the electromotive drive has at the shutdown on a certain kinetic energy, which leads to a not inconsiderable caster, so a further movement until the drive and thus the control element come to a standstill.
  • an accurate positioning of the actuating element in the desired position is only possible if the occurring caster is taken into account in the determination of the switch-off point. In practice it has been found that the caster depends on various influences such that the positioning accuracy suffers.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a motor vehicle door lock with an electric motor positioning drive and a method for controlling the same, so that in a simple, cost-effective manner, especially in different operating conditions and in particular of manufacturing tolerances independent accurate positioning is possible.
  • a basic idea of the present invention is that the actual position of the drive and / or the actuator is detected or determined in the off state and that in case of deviations from the desired position of the switch-off point is corrected in future positioning accordingly.
  • an adaptation is easily made possible, which leads to a highly accurate positioning in the desired position.
  • manufacturing tolerances can be compensated automatically by the aforementioned measure.
  • such a very accurate positioning is possible even under different operating conditions.

  • the temperature of the drive which exerts a significant influence on the braking or shutdown behavior of the drive, can be estimated or at least approximately determined by means of these startup characteristic values from the two startup characteristics mentioned. Accordingly, depending on the estimated temperature or directly as a function of the two mentioned start-up characteristics required for an accurate positioning advancing the cut-off can be determined.
  • the temperature can be detected directly as an important parameter for determining the switch-off point by means of an additional sensor.
  • the switch-off point is preferably determined as a function of at least one operating parameter during the switched-on drive.
  • a corresponding table or a corresponding characteristic field is used to determine a switch-off point as a function of an operating parameter or of several current operating parameters.
  • previously determined deviations can be stored as a correction table or correction field, so that a correction value is then determined after the current switch-off point has been determined by means of the correction table or the correction field as a function of the at least one current operating parameter, by which the switch-off point is to be corrected.
  • a basic idea of the present invention is thus to realize a feedback in the control.
  • control which is undesirable in terms of time in particular, for positioning the actuating element in a desired position, but only readjusting or adapting the control parameters for future positioning after a deviation has been detected.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a proposed motor vehicle door lock 1 with a dashed line indicated housing 2.
  • the motor vehicle door lock 1 has an electric motor drive 3.
  • the drive 3 comprises in particular an electric motor, not shown separately, and in particular a subsequent transmission, such as a worm 4.

  • the adjusting element 5 is formed for example as a worm wheel and meshes with the worm. 4
  • the closing or adjusting element 5 represents in particular a part of a conventional locking mechanism of the motor vehicle door lock 1 and acts, for example - as in the illustration - on a pawl 6, which serves to secure an associated latch 7 of the motor vehicle door lock 1 o. It goes without saying that other types of locking mechanisms can be used here.
  • the closing or adjusting element 5 can also perform other or further functions and possibly also a plurality of actuating functions, wherein it can be positioned, in particular in the last case, in a plurality of desired positions.
  • the motor vehicle door lock 1 further has a sensor 8, which is associated with the representation example of the adjusting element 5 for detecting the current position of the actuating element 5.
  • the sensor 8 can also be assigned to the drive 3 or possibly integrated in it.
  • the sensor 8 is formed, for example, as an incremental encoder for detecting the angular position of the actuating element 5, the electric motor, the worm 4 o.
  • the sensor 8 can also be formed by another means for detecting or optionally also indirect determination of the setting or rotational position, speed and / or acceleration of the drive 3 and / or the actuating element 5.

  • the positioning in a desired target position will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the adjusting element 5 is formed here disk-like and carries a pin-like functional element 11, which protrudes in particular in the axial direction and the pawl 6 pivots depending on the rotational position of the adjusting element 5.
  • the drive 3 or its electric motor is switched off at a shutdown 14 of a direction of movement or rotation of the control element 5 according to arrow 13 and - ever after execution of the drive 3 or of the electric motor and depending on the desired deceleration - preferably short-circuited.
  • the shut-off point 14 is compared with the target position 12 either locally advanced by a braking distance or a braking angle 15 against the direction of movement or rotation 13 or in time by a braking time.
  • the braking distance or braking time actually required by the drive 3 or the adjusting element 5 after switching off the drive 3, ie from the switch-off point 14, depends on the caster of the drive 3 and of the actuating element 5 after the drive 3 has been switched off.

  • the restart characteristic value which is preferably determined each time the device is switched on or started up, is then used to establish or vary the switch-off point 14.
  • the detection or updating of the start-up characteristic values takes place each time the drive 3 is started or switched on.
  • this is not absolutely necessary. Rather, the detection can also, for example to be repeated only after a predetermined minimum time has elapsed.
  • starting characteristic value is to be understood here in particular in the sense that at least one parameter is included which permits a characterization of the starting behavior of the drive 3 which is dependent on the current operating state. In particular, several startup parameters can also be detected. The same applies to other operating parameters that can be detected alternatively or additionally to the determination of the switch-off point 14.
  • a starting characteristic in particular a movement distance or a movement angle by which the drive 3 or the adjusting element 5 has moved or turned in a preferably predeterminable time from starting or switching on the drive 3 can be detected.
  • the time required for a specific movement distance or a specific angle of movement can also be detected as a starting characteristic value.
