Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control arrangement for a motor vehicle lock system according to the preamble of claim 1, a motor vehicle lock system according to the preamble of claim 14 and a method for operating a motor vehicle lock system according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • the motor vehicle lock system in question has motor vehicle locks, which can be assigned to any locking element of a motor vehicle.
  • the term “closure element” must be interpreted broadly.
  • the term “closure element” includes, for example, a side door, a tailgate, a tailgate, a trunk lid, a front hood, a hood or the like.
  • the closure element can be hinged to the body of the motor vehicle in the manner of a swing door or in the manner of a sliding door.
  • a convenience function of the motor vehicle lock system in question is the so-called “closing function”, for the implementation of which locking arrangements are provided.
  • the closing arrangement takes over the motorized transfer of the closure element from a pre-closing position to a main closing position, so that the vehicle operator or a drive arrangement of the closure element is relieved of this last adjustment section, which usually has to be carried out against a high door seal pressure.
  • motor vehicle lock systems with at least two motor vehicle locks are used, which are arranged, for example, on opposite sides of the closure element.
  • equipping the motor vehicle lock system with a locking function has proven successful, with the motor vehicle locks each being equipped with a locking arrangement which causes the respective motor vehicle lock to be closed independently of one another.
  • the JP 2002 129812 A relates to a door device with a locking mechanism.
  • the door can be closed and opened using a drive mechanism.
  • a combined locking device with main lock and additional lock is described, which are coupled to each other via respective opening mechanisms for joint opening.
  • At least one of the locks is equipped with a closing aid.
  • the invention is based on the problem of designing and developing the control arrangement for a motor vehicle lock system in such a way that the implementation of the closing function is further improved.
  • the invention assumes that the control arrangement for a motor vehicle lock system is set up with at least a first motor vehicle lock and a second motor vehicle lock.
  • a motor vehicle lock system is set up with at least a first motor vehicle lock and a second motor vehicle lock.
  • several motor vehicle locks are provided, with one of these motor vehicle locks being referred to as the “first” and another as the “second” motor vehicle lock. Additional motor vehicle locks can be provided.
  • the first and the second motor vehicle lock are assigned to one, preferably the same, locking element of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle locks each being able to be brought into a main locking position and possibly a pre-locking position for a holding engagement between a lock latch of the motor vehicle lock and a locking part and into an open position.
  • the motor vehicle lock system has a sensor arrangement that determines sensor values for the respective position of the motor vehicle locks.
  • first and second motor vehicle locks each have a closing arrangement, which is provided for closing the respective motor vehicle lock in a respective closing process and which acts on the lock latch and/or the locking part, the motor vehicle lock system having at least one, in particular one in each case , electric closing drive for the closing arrangements.
  • the control arrangement triggers a closing routine in which the control arrangement controls the at least one closing drive.
  • control arrangement generates a respective control specification for the locking processes depending on the sensor values and in accordance with a coordination specification, so that according to the coordination specification, the closing process of the first motor vehicle lock and the closing process of the second motor vehicle lock each depend on both the position of the first motor vehicle lock and depend on the position of the second motor vehicle lock, and that the control arrangement controls the at least one closing drive according to the control specifications.
  • the coordination specification is a regulation as to how the closing processes of the individual motor vehicle locks should be carried out in comparison to one another and depending on the respective position of the motor vehicle locks.
  • the coordination specification is used as the basis for generating the control specification, which in turn is representative of the course of the control and thus of the course of movement in the respective closing process, which is brought about by means of the at least one closing drive.
  • the control specification is in particular representative of the time at which the respective motor vehicle lock should be moved and at what speed when it is closed.
  • the position of both the first and the second motor vehicle lock influences the generation of the control specification, so that the closing of the respective motor vehicle lock can be adapted to the position of both motor vehicle locks.
  • the solution according to the invention is particularly advantageous if there is a low mechanical coupling of the motor vehicle locks via the closure element, for example due to the size and deformability of the closure element. Even in the event of changing mechanical conditions, for example due to wear or contamination, coordination of the closing processes can be reliably achieved, since the positions of both motor vehicle locks are taken into account in the control via the sensor values.
  • the coordination specification specifies a substantially simultaneous start of closing the motor vehicle locks, whereby a particularly harmonious closing function is realized.
  • the coordination specification can specify a successive closing of the motor vehicle locks, for example a sequence of closing that is particularly advantageous for the sequence of the closing movement of the adjusting element. According to a further embodiment, if the closing of one of the motor vehicle locks begins after the closing of another of the motor vehicle locks has ended, the power consumption of the closing drive is significantly reduced.
  • the starting criterion is defined in the likewise preferred embodiment according to claim 3 in that at least one of the motor vehicle locks, preferably all motor vehicle locks, has or have reached a predetermined starting position, in particular the pre-locking position. This results in a high level of reliability of the closing function.
  • the reliability of the closing function can also be increased in the further embodiment according to claim 4 in that the control specifications have a predetermined waiting time in accordance with the coordination specification. This can ensure that the locking element on all motor vehicle locks is sufficiently closed at the start of the closing routine.
  • the preferred embodiment according to claim 5 is also particularly advantageous for the coordination of the motor vehicle locks, according to which the coordination specification relates to the speed at which the motor vehicle locks are closed. Among other things, different mechanical boundary conditions of the individual motor vehicle locks are taken into account in the control.
  • the coordination specification preferably specifies a respective speed of the closing processes of the motor vehicle locks that is essentially the same.
  • Claims 6 and 7 relate to further preferred embodiments of the control arrangement, which is set up to determine the speed of the closing.
