Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adjusting device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such adjusting devices are generally known. They are used, for example, for automatically opening and closing doors and/or tailgates of motor vehicles, in particular passenger cars.
  • the drive arrangement can be provided with a connecting unit for connecting the drive arrangement to a higher-level assembly of the vehicle, i.e. one that does not belong to the actuating device, while the actuating element can be provided with a further connecting unit for connecting the actuating device to a further higher-level one, i.e. not belonging to the actuating device, assembly of the vehicle can be provided.
  • one superordinate assembly can be the body of the vehicle, while the other superordinate assembly can be the vehicle part that can be moved relative to the body. All of this also applies to the adjusting device according to the invention.
  • the door is opened or closed automatically by means of the drive unit after a switch provided for this purpose has been actuated, for example by pulling on the door handle.
  • the movement state sensor is used here to monitor the operation of the actuating device. If the door is opened or closed by hand or if the door is also moved by hand during the automatic opening or closing, this can have adverse effects on the drive unit in the case of the known actuating devices. In particular, this can permanently impair the efficiency of the drive unit, and in extreme cases even damage it.
  • the WO 2015/186275 A1 has set itself the goal of providing an actuating device for a vehicle part that can be moved relative to a body of a vehicle, in which the time span between the beginning of a movement of the trunk lid and the intervention of an assistant is reduced.
  • the DE 101 17 933 A1 discloses an actuating device for a vehicle door, which does not include any motion sensor, but rather a load sensor, so that when an open vehicle door is detected acting force, an automated closing process of the vehicle door can be initiated.
  • this object is achieved by an adjusting device according to claim 1 .
  • An actuation of the drive unit in adaptation to its actual state of motion can in principle consist in actuating the drive unit only to the extent that it is no longer forcibly actuated from the outside.
  • This forced operation is namely usually the cause of the impairment of the drive unit.
  • control unit can be designed to actuate the drive unit to support the movement causing the actual movement state when the movement state signals forwarded by the movement state sensor to the control unit indicate an actual movement state of the drive unit that deviates from a target movement state.
  • the target state of motion can be, for example, the idle state, i.e. the deactivated state, of the drive unit.
  • the control unit assumes that the vehicle door is being actuated manually and controls the drive unit in such a way that it supports the manual actuation of the door in the manner of a power steering system.
  • the goal can advantageously be to be able to actuate the door with a small force of the order of 5 to 10 N even when the vehicle is on an incline or in a lateral position.
  • the desired state of motion can also be a predetermined state of motion, for example a state of motion corresponding to an automatic opening or closing process of the door.
  • the control unit assumes that automatic opening or closing is no longer desired and the vehicle door should be operated manually. In this case, too, the drive unit controls in such a way that it supports the manual actuation of the door in the manner of a power steering system.
  • the adjusting device according to the invention can also be designed to automatically open and close the door.
  • the actuating device can be designed, for example, to interpret a long pull on the door handle as a desire for automated opening and closing, while a brief pull on the door handle is interpreted as a desire for power-assisted opening and closing.
  • manual actuation of doors differs in their movement pattern, in particular at the beginning of the movement, from other types of actuation, for example gravity-induced actuation of the door.
  • the manual opening of a door initially involves a strong actuation, as it were "tearing", while a door under the influence of gravity initially moves only slowly, quasi “creeping".
  • the acceleration with which the door starts to move is used as a distinguishing criterion.
  • the control unit is designed to actuate the drive unit in adaptation to the actual state of movement only when a movement pattern of the actual state of movement satisfies at least one predetermined condition.
  • the drive unit is assigned a braking device.
  • the braking device is a permanently acting braking device, the braking force being set, for example, in such a way that it is greater than the force of gravity usually acting on the door, as long as the vehicle is standing on a surface whose inclination does not exceed a predetermined value, for example 15° .
  • a predetermined value for example 15° .
  • the braking device can be a friction brake, for example.
  • the braking device can include a braking element that rotates with an output shaft of the drive unit and a braking element that is non-rotatably arranged on the drive arrangement and that frictionally engages with one another.
  • the brake element arranged non-rotatably on the drive arrangement can be pressed under the preload of a spring against the brake element rotating with the output shaft of the drive unit in order to generate the frictional engagement.
  • the effect of the braking device ie its braking force
  • the spring pretensioning force which acts on the brake element arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the drive arrangement, can be adjustable.
  • the braking device in principle, it is also conceivable, but not according to the invention, for the braking device to include a braking force interruption unit.
  • this braking force interruption unit can be designed, for example, to interrupt the frictional engagement of the two brake elements.
  • the braking force interruption unit can be actuated by means of the control unit.
  • the control unit can be designed to actuate the braking force interruption unit when the drive unit is activated in the sense of interrupting the braking force.
  • the control unit has a signal input to which at least one obstacle detection sensor, which does not form part of the actuating device, can be connected for forwarding obstacle detection signals to the control unit, and that the control unit is designed to use the drive unit when the obstacle detection signals indicate the presence of an obstacle in the path of movement of the vehicle part.
  • the obstacle sensor can be a radar sensor, an optical sensor, a laser scanner sensor, an ultrasonic sensor or a camera, for example.
  • the actuating element includes a spindle.
  • the output shaft of the drive unit runs orthogonally to the adjustment direction of the actuating unit.
  • a compact arrangement that takes up little installation space can be achieved, for example, in that the output shaft of the drive unit carries a worm wheel, the worm wheel preferably meshing with a gear wheel which has or carries a spindle nut radially on the inside, which has a thread the spindle is in thread engagement.
  • the gear wheel is supported axially in relation to the direction of adjustment of the setting unit the.
  • this can be provided in a simple manner by the housing of the drive arrangement.
  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle with a body and a vehicle part that can be moved relative to the body and is equipped with an actuating device according to the invention. It is of particular advantage that in this motor vehicle the vehicle part that can be moved relative to the body of the vehicle can be free of a tether designed with preferred positions. This has advantages not only with regard to the space required, but also with regard to the production costs.
  • an embodiment of an adjusting device according to the invention is denoted generally by 10 . It is used to move a vehicle part 52, for example a vehicle door or a vehicle flap (in figure 1 dash-dot-dotted), of a motor vehicle 50, for example a passenger car, relative to the body 54 (in figure 1 dash-dotted line) of motor vehicle 50.
  • Actuating device 10 includes a drive arrangement 12 with a drive unit 14, for example an electric motor, and a motion state sensor 16, for example a Hall sensor, for detecting the motion state of drive unit 14.
  • Drive unit 14 and the motion state sensor 16 are in a joint Housing 18 added.
  • a braking device 20 (see figure 3 ) arranged, which is able to brake a movement, in particular rotation, of the drive unit 14 .
  • the adjusting device 10 also includes an adjusting element 22, which is designed as a spindle in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • the actuating element 22 is articulated on the movable vehicle part 52 by means of a bracket 26, while the drive arrangement 12 is connected to the body 54 of the vehicle 50 via a cardanic suspension 27.
  • the degrees of freedom of movement provided by the cardanic suspension 27, namely its ability to pivot about the axes C and D (see figure 2 ), the pivotability of the holder 26 about the axis B and the rotatability of the spindle 22 relative to the drive arrangement 12 about the axis A reliably prevent the adjusting device 10 from tilting.
  • an output shaft 28 of the drive unit 14 carries a worm wheel 30 which meshes with a gear wheel 32 which surrounds the spindle 22 .
  • the gear wheel 32 is connected radially on the inside to a spindle nut 34 which is in threaded engagement with a thread of the spindle 22 . In this way, a rotary movement of the drive unit 14 is converted into a linear movement of the spindle 22 in its longitudinal direction A
  • the braking device 20 is also assigned to the output shaft 28 of the drive unit 14 .
  • it is designed as a permanently acting friction brake.
  • it comprises a brake element 42 that is permanently connected to the output shaft 28, i.e. that rotates with the output shaft 28, and a brake element 44 that is permanently connected to the housing 18, that is, that is arranged in a rotationally fixed manner this frictional engagement by means of a (not shown) spring is maintained permanently.
  • the braking force generated by this permanent frictional engagement is preferably selected in such a way that the movable vehicle part 52 cannot set itself in motion as long as the vehicle 50 is standing on a surface whose inclination angle relative to the horizontal, depending on the design of the braking device 20, is, for example, at most 15 ° is. In this way, the movable vehicle part 52 can be held in any desired intermediate position on its adjustment path.
  • the drive assembly 12 is also provided with a (in figure 3 only shown schematically) control unit 24 assigned.
  • Output signals of the motion state sensor 16 can be supplied to the control unit 24 via a signal input 36 .
  • the output signals of an obstacle detection sensor 40 can be fed to the control unit 24 via a signal input 38 .
  • control unit 24 uses the signals from the movement state sensor 16 to determine that the movable vehicle part 52 is being moved by hand, it controls the drive unit 14 to support the desired movement, i.e. in the manner of a power steering system.
  • the proportion of the force required to move the movable vehicle part 52, which is taken over by the drive unit 14, can be adjusted as desired, but is advantageously selected in such a way that the vehicle part 52 can also be moved when the vehicle 50 is on an incline or is in a lateral position, can be actuated with a small force of the order of 5 to 10 N.
  • control unit 24 If control unit 24 does not determine a desire for manual actuation of movable vehicle part 52, but has received a command to automatically move movable vehicle part 52, control unit 24 takes into account the obstacle detection signals supplied to it by obstacle detection sensor 40 when executing this command. Provides the Control unit 24 determines that there is an obstacle in the path of movement of the movable vehicle part 52, so it deactivates the drive unit 14 so that the movable vehicle part 52 comes to a standstill in front of the obstacle without colliding with it and being damaged as a result.
