Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for acting on a motor vehicle actuating element such as a motor vehicle door, with a locking device and a drive device, and with a control unit which acts on one or both devices according to signals from at least one sensor.
- the control unit ensures that the locking device, the drive device or the locking device and the drive device are acted upon.
- different functional positions of the motor vehicle actuating element can be implemented.
- the motor vehicle actuating element and in particular the motor vehicle door can be moved back and forth or opened and closed relative to a motor vehicle body with the aid of the drive device. Intermediate states such as a half-open state are also conceivable.
- the motor vehicle actuating element in question or the motor vehicle door can also be fixed in any position. The locking device takes care of this.
- a drive device for externally operated and manual adjustment of such a motor vehicle adjusting element is described in detail.
- a drive device is provided, with the help of which the motor vehicle actuating element can be adjusted by external force both in an opening direction and in an opposite closing direction.
- the drive device can be switched between a holding position and a release position.
- a desired adjustment on the part of a user can be detected with the aid of a sensor. This means that an adjustment in the adjustment direction desired by the user is initially triggered via the drive device before the drive device is switched to its release position. This is intended to improve overall comfort during operation and when changing between the holding position and the release position of the drive device.
- the door drive provided at this point changes from the holding position to its release position, for example in such a way that a coupling between a drive motor and a drive element is interrupted on the transmission side or a clutch is opened.
- An abrupt transition associated with this is admittedly intercepted overall within the framework of the known teaching.
- both the assumption of the holding position and the release position require activation of the drive device or the known door drive. Depending on the duration of taking an associated functional position of the motor vehicle actuator, this can correspond to an increased power consumption.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a device for acting on a motor vehicle actuating element such as a motor vehicle door, for example, in such a way that the required electrical energy consumption is reduced while the design is functional.
- the invention proposes, in a generic device for acting on a motor vehicle actuating element, that the control unit controls the locking device, which preferably fixes without current, and the drive device depending on signals from the sensor with a time overlap.
- the locking device preferably works in such a way that the motor vehicle actuating element is regularly fixed without current using the locking device.
- the locking device is responsible for fixing or locking the motor vehicle actuating element, this is usually done without current.
- the transition from the fixing to the non-fixing or releasing position of the locking device requires actuation using a drive motor as part of the locking device and consequently by applying an electric current.
- the locking device is generally switched off, so that no electrical energy is consumed at this point.
- the invention or the control unit ensures that the locking device and the drive device are controlled with a time overlap. That is, in contrast to the generic teaching according to EP 3 272 987 B1, there is no switching back and forth between the locking device and the drive device in the sense of a respective alternative.
- the locking device on the one hand and the drive device on the other hand are designed to be technologically and functionally separate from one another.
- a locking device such as that described in detail in the applicant's DE 10 2019 134 979 A1 may be used as a locking device within the scope of the invention.
- a drive device such as that described in detail in DE 10 2018 120 553 A1 can be used as the drive device.
- the spatially and functionally separate design of the locking device on the one hand and the drive device on the other favors the design according to the invention, namely that the two aforementioned devices can be controlled with a time overlap using the control unit.
- the locking device and the drive device can also be combined with one another. This means that a functionally separate design is not absolutely necessary and merely represents a particularly suitable option.
- the design according to the invention initially leads to a significant reduction in the consumption of electrical energy compared to the prior art. Because, for example, during the entire time within which the motor vehicle actuating element is fixed using the locking device, the currentless fixing design of the locking device ensures that electrical energy is not unnecessarily consumed at this point. At the same time, the functionality and safety are guaranteed as in the state of the art. Because as soon as the sensor, for example, receives an operating signal from a User is detected, the control unit ensures that typically the locking device and the drive device are controlled with a time overlap. As a result, for example, the locking device can be transferred from its previously fixing position to the releasing position. The drive device controlled in this context at the same time and with a time overlap then ensures that the motor vehicle actuating element is not released in an uncontrolled manner during this process, but rather is held in its position with the help of the now active drive device.
- the drive device releases the motor vehicle actuating element so that it can be moved manually by the user. Or it is also possible that the manual movement is supported using the drive device. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
- the senor is an external force sensor which detects an external force acting on the motor vehicle actuating element.
- This external force can, for example, be compared with a threshold value stored in the control unit. If this threshold value is exceeded, this is interpreted as a user signal to act on the motor vehicle actuator.
- the senor can also be a time sensor, which can be displayed using the control unit.
- the sensor can also be designed as a displacement sensor and, for example, an opening angle sensor of the motor vehicle actuating element.
- the sensor or path sensor for example, a specific opening path of the motor vehicle actuator relative to a Motor vehicle body measured. A corresponding opening angle may correspond to this.
- the invention also relates to a method for operating the device described.
- a user interaction is detected with the aid of the external force sensor.
- the drive device is then acted upon in addition to the locking device. That is, as soon as a user interaction in the form of, for example, the user's wish to open is detected with the aid of the external force sensor when the motor vehicle actuating element is open and the locking device is energized without current, the control unit, depending on this sensor signal and according to the invention, ensures that the drive device is then and additionally acted upon . That is, the locking device and the drive device are controlled with a time overlap—as described.
- the procedure can be such that the locking device is released while the drive device is acted upon at the same time.
- a so-called release criterion for the motor vehicle actuating element is then usually checked.
- This release criterion can be, for example, a time measurement using the time sensor. If this release criterion is not met, the result is that the locking device is acted upon again.
- the detected user interaction first ensures that the drive device is acted upon with the aid of the control unit in addition to the locking device, so that the locking device can then be released when the drive device is acted upon at the same time.
- the motor vehicle actuating element is fixed as before and unchanged with the aid of the drive device.
- release criterion checked This may correspond to the fact that a new user interaction has taken place within a specified period of time or that the user interaction that has already taken place is continuing. The latter variant is typically present.
- control unit ensures that the previously released locking device is acted upon again and holds or fixes the motor vehicle actuating element.
- the procedure is such that during operation of the device in question and when the motor vehicle actuating element is closed and for opening an acted upon drive device, the achievement of a target position is detected using the travel sensor and/or the external force sensor.
- the locking device is then additionally activated and there is a time overlap between the drive device and the locking device.
- the achievement of a target position of the motor vehicle actuating element can be detected by the control unit with the aid of the displacement sensor and/or the external force sensor. As soon as the target position is reached, the locking device is activated in addition to the drive device.
- the locking device is typically activated only when a so-called retention criterion is met.
- This retention criterion may, for example, be linked to a time measurement using the time sensor. That is, if the motor vehicle actuating element, for example, maintains a specific position for a previously specified period of time using the control unit, which can be measured via the time sensor, this is interpreted as a target position and at the same time indicates that the holding criterion is met. The control unit then ensures that the locking device is activated.
- the drive device can then be deactivated.
- the motor vehicle actuating element is subsequently fixed solely with the aid of the de-energized locking device.
- unnecessary power consumption is also prevented in such a case.
- the motor vehicle actuating element can reach the target position in such a way that a certain traveled distance of the motor vehicle actuating element corresponds to this, which can be detected using the displacement sensor or via an opening angle.
- the control unit establishes that the motor vehicle actuating element is not (or no longer) acted upon by a force acting on the motor vehicle actuating element. This may also correspond to the fact that the speed of the motor vehicle actuating element or the force acting on it is below a threshold value for a defined time.
- the signal from the displacement sensor is time-differentiated and the speed of the motor vehicle actuating element is deduced from this. Or based on changes in the signal of the external force sensor over time, conclusions are drawn as to whether the target position has been reached.
- the procedure is such that the locking device is only activated when the retention criterion is met.
- the locking device is only activated when it can be safely assumed that the motor vehicle actuating element has reached its target position and this is also desired by the user.
- the drive device is subsequently deactivated so that it no longer contributes to the power consumption.
- a device for acting on a motor vehicle actuating element and a method for its operation are presented, which not only works properly, but can also be operated with reduced electrical energy consumption. Because the alternating loading of the locking device and the drive device and In particular, the possibility of being able to control both devices with a time overlap ensures that the relevant motor vehicle actuating element does not have any indifferent functional states and can be operated with minimal electrical energy consumption and held in the desired position. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 shows the device according to FIGS. 1 to 4 in connection with an opening process of the motor vehicle actuating element and its subsequent fixing using the locking device.
- the motor vehicle actuating element 1 is a motor vehicle door and in particular a motor vehicle side door 1 that can be rotated or pivoted relative to a motor vehicle body 2.
- the motor vehicle actuating element 1 can in principle also be a sliding door or else a flap or an actuating element of a motor vehicle that can be adjusted in any other way in relation to the body 2 .
- the basic structure of the device includes a drive device 3 and a locking device 4.
- the drive device 3 and the locking device 4 are functional and according to the embodiment technologically separate from each other and can both be applied together using a control unit 5.
- the control unit 5 is also provided and set up to evaluate signals from a sensor 6 . With the help of the two devices 3.4, the motor vehicle actuator 1 can be moved and fixed.
- the senor 6 which in the present case is designed as an external force sensor 6
- another sensor or time sensor 7 is also provided, which according to the exemplary embodiment is integrated into the control unit 5 and is used for time measurement.
- a further sensor 8 in the form of a displacement sensor 8 is provided.
- the displacement sensor 8 is an opening angle sensor 8, with the aid of which an opening angle of the pivotable motor vehicle actuating element 1 relative to the motor vehicle body 2 can be determined.
- a first procedure for the operation of the device described above in principle will now be explained with reference to a sequence of FIGS.
- a user interaction can then first be measured and recorded with the motor vehicle actuating element 1 open and the locking device 4 acted upon, namely with the aid of the external force sensor 6 .
- the drive device 3 is then acted upon with the aid of the control unit 5 .
- the motor vehicle actuating element or the motor vehicle door 1 is fixed using the locking device 4 , specifically according to the exemplary embodiment and as previously described without current.
- the locking device 4 may engage behind a recess or an opening on or in the motor vehicle actuating element 1 with a hook that can be moved, for example.
- the control unit 5 then ensures that the drive device 3 is acted upon in addition to the locking device 4 .
- this can be done and designed in such a way that an electric motor as part of the drive device 3 is engaged in comparison to the motor vehicle actuating element 1 and in this way can work mechanically on the motor vehicle actuating element 1 .
- the locking device 4 is now released while the drive device 3 is acted upon at the same time. In the example, this corresponds to the previously mentioned hook being pivoted away from its engagement with the opening on the motor vehicle actuating element 1 as part of the locking device.
- this release criterion corresponds to a time measurement which is carried out with the aid of the time sensor 7 .
- a specific and predetermined detection period may correspond to this. If the control unit 5 observes a still existing user interaction or an application of the external force sensor 6 within the detection period, this is interpreted by the control unit 5 to mean that the release criterion is met.
- the release criterion is not observed within the detection period, i.e. there is no ongoing or renewed user interaction within the detection period, the first User interaction interpreted as a sort of false signal.
- failure to meet the release criterion means that the locking device 4 is acted upon again, as can be understood from FIG. 4 .
- the result of this is that the motor vehicle actuating element 1 is fixed unchanged (without current) using the locking device 4 .
- the drive device 3 is switched off if this has not already happened.
- the control unit 5 shows another mode of operation of the device. The point here is that when the motor vehicle actuating element is initially closed, the drive device 3 is acted upon to open the motor vehicle actuating element. With the aid of the displacement sensor 8 and/or the external force sensor 6, the control unit 5 can now detect that the motor vehicle actuating element 1 has reached a specific target position during this opening process. Reaching the target position can correspond to the user no longer applying a force to the motor vehicle actuating element 1 , so that in this case the force sensor 6 reports a falling signal of the application of force to the control unit 5 . However, it is also possible for the target position to be reached to be accompanied by a specific signal from displacement sensor 6 . The target position may be stored in the control unit 5 for this purpose.
- the signal from the displacement sensor 8 is time-differentiated. If the speed signal thus determined is interpreted by the control unit to mean that the door speed is below a threshold value for a specific time, for example, then this is again interpreted as reaching the target position shown as an example in FIG.
- reaching the target position as a whole means that the locking device 4 is not activated until an additional holding criterion is met.
- This retention criterion is linked to a time measurement using the time sensor 7 . If, therefore, the speed of the motor vehicle actuating element 1 is within the range set by the time sensor 7 predetermined period of time below the threshold value or has dropped to zero or if a force has been applied within the period of time has ceased, this is interpreted by the control unit 5 as a fulfilled retention criterion. This then leads to the locking device 4 being activated with the aid of the control unit 5 . At the same time, the fulfillment of the retention criterion ensures that the drive device 3 can then be deactivated and is also deactivated in order to reduce the electrical energy consumption overall.
