Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of motorized opening of motor vehicles. It relates to a motorized opening control method comprising a sensor.
  • the control device used to maneuver a motorized opening comprises a motor designed to drive the opening so as to move it between its two extreme open and closed positions.
  • the engine is controlled to control the opening in one of three states: stop opening or closing. In the state stop the opening is stopped, in the open state the opening moves to its open end position and, in the closed state the opening moves to its closed end position.
  • the opening further comprises an anti-pinch sensor designed to trigger an anti-pinch operation when it detects an obstacle while the opening is in the closed state. The anti-pinch operation corresponds to the switch from the closed state to the open state.
  • the control method further comprises an opening operation corresponding to the switchover from the stop state to the open state and a closing operation corresponding to the switchover from the stop state to the state. closure.
  • a handle arranged on the opening or via a remote control device.
  • the handle or the remote control device may not be easily accessible to the user. If the vehicle is parked near an obstacle, for example a tree, this makes the vehicle access to the handle difficult. When the user is loaded it can hardly maneuver a mechanical handle.
  • the invention describes a device and a method for controlling a motorized motorized opening of the type described above, characterized in that at least one of the two opening and closing operations is provided. to be triggered by a predefined voluntary manual action on the anti-pinch sensor.
  • the user can control the opening and closing of the opening more easily even when only the portion of the opening provided with the sensor is accessible.
  • the solution according to the invention uses the anti-pinch sensor, already present on the opening, which allows to keep a simple construction without adding additional element.
  • the invention improves the ergonomics and the human-machine interface.
  • control method comprises a controlled mode in which the movements of the opening follow the movements of the hand of a user who remains in contact with the sensor and the movements of the sash interrupt when the hand is no longer in contact with the sensor.
  • the controlled mode has the advantage of providing control in position and speed of the movements of the opening.
  • the user ensures the safety of the movements of the sash while permanently maintaining during operation the total control of the opening and can even reflexe stop the opening in removing the hand that is in contact with the sensor.
  • a predefined voluntary manual action controls a movement of the sash in autonomous mode so that the manual action makes it possible to initiate the displacement of the sash in a chosen direction and the movement of the sash. opening continues when the hand is no longer in contact with the sensor.
  • a predefined voluntary manual action commands the shutter to stop moving in autonomous mode.
  • the autonomous mode has the advantage of allowing a complete movement of the motorized opening even in the case where the user is embarrassed and can not accompany the hand all the movement of the opening.
  • the invention also provides a motorized opening of the type described above, comprising a central control unit which controls the motor, characterized in that the central control unit is provided to implement the previously described method.
  • the senor is made in the form of a seal arranged in the vicinity of an edge of the opening.
  • the detection zone of the sensor is constituted by the body panel of the opening.
  • This detection zone offers the user a zone to which the user will have easy access.
  • FIG. 1 A general embodiment is illustrated by the block diagram of the figure 1 which represents schematically a vehicle 10.
  • the vehicle 10 is equipped with a motorized opening 12 set in motion by an electric motor 14 controlled by a control unit 16.
  • the motorized opening 12 is a sliding side door 13.
  • the side door 13 comprises a body panel 17 on which an anti-pinch sensor 18 is installed.
  • Anti-pinch sensor 18 defines a detection zone 20 on the body panel 17, this zone 20 extending at least partly along a lateral edge 24 of the panel 17 to enable the presence of an obstacle 34 to be detected. opposing the displacement of the side door 13 and allow the triggering of an anti-pinch operation Oap.
  • the figure 3 illustrates a second embodiment in which the motorized opening 12 is a tailgate 30 articulated around an upper articulation 32.
  • the tailgate 30 also comprises a body panel 17 on which the anti-pinch sensor 18 is installed.
  • sensor 18 here defines a detection zone 20 which extends at least along the lower edge 25 of the panel 17.
  • the sensor 18 can also be arranged so that its detection zone 20 also extends along the edges
  • the sensor 18 is provided to detect the presence of an obstacle 34 opposing the closing of the tailgate 30 as for the first embodiment.
  • the anti-pinch sensor 18 can be made, according to a first type, in the form of a capacitive sensor which uses the entire metal surface of the body panel 17 as a detection zone 20.
  • the senor 18 is arranged in a seal, for example made of plastic material, which is arranged on the lateral edge 24 of the panel 17, for the first embodiment, and which is arranged at least on the edge lower 25, for the second embodiment.
  • the detection zone 20 of the sensor 18 is then located on the outer surface of the seal.
  • the motor 14 is designed to drive the motorized opening 12 in displacement between its two extreme open positions OP and closed PF.
  • the opening 12 can also occupy an intermediate position PI between its two extreme positions PO, PF.
  • an anti-pinch operation Oap is implemented.
  • the anti-pinch Oap operation corresponds to the reversal of the direction of movement or the stopping of the opening 12.
  • the anti-pinch operation Oap may correspond to the switchover from the closing state EF to the stop state EA.
  • the anti-pinch operation Oap can also correspond to the changeover of the state opening EO to the closing state EF or stopping EA.
  • At least one of the two Oouv opening and Ofer closing operations is provided to be triggered by a voluntary manual action 22 predefined on the anti-pinch sensor 18 so that the user can directly control the movements of the opening 12 through the anti-pinch sensor 18, without passing through a mechanical handle or auxiliary switch.
  • the voluntary manual action 22 may consist, for the user, in placing the hand, or another part of the body, in the detection zone 20 of the sensor 18.
  • This voluntary manual action 22 may comprise a code that determines the type of sensor. operation implemented or the manner in which the operation is carried out.
  • the code for triggering the opening operation Oouv can consist of several touches on the detection zone 20 in a determined time interval and the code for triggering the Ofer closing operation can be constituted by by a prolonged touch on the detection zone 20 during a determined period of time.
  • the control method comprises a slipped mode in which a sliding movement of the user's hand on the body panel 17 , in the detection zone 20, is a control code which triggers an opening operation Oouv or closing Ofer during which the opening 12 moves in the direction of the sliding of the hand. It can be expected that the speed of movement of the opening 12 is a function of the sliding speed of the hand.
  • the removal of the hand triggers a stop of the opening 12, which has a security advantage to prevent for example pinching.
  • the contacts are not limited to only hand contact but can be performed with another part of the body. Also, the contact can be made at any place of the opening 12. In contrast, the invention may require that the contact takes place at a predetermined location of the opening 12.
  • the sensor 18 can be any system that detects the presence of a part of the human body.
  • the sensor 18 may be of capacitive type detecting the capacity changes related to the presence of a hand.
  • Other types of sensors can also be used such as radar based, or optical sensors (such as infrared cameras ).
  • the present invention can be used without physical contact with the opening 12 but when the hand is close to the opening 12.
