DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transmission control device for a side sliding door of a vehicle. The control function of the side sliding door is implemented by software to cope with a difference in specifications of a side sliding door opening / closing control system. In addition, it is possible to simplify the handling of the control device of the sliding door driving device and to share the hardware of the transmission control device of the side sliding door, thereby simplifying the construction and shortening the construction period. Can be shortened.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since conventional vehicle side sliding door control is based on relay logic using a relay panel, the control theory of the side sliding door depends on the specifications of the above-mentioned side sliding door opening / closing control system and the control equipment of the driving device of the side sliding door. It may be different, and in this case, it is necessary to design a new relay panel. In addition, when the opening and closing control of the side sliding door is performed by a conventional transmission control device using a relay panel, it is necessary to develop dedicated hardware according to different control systems,
Also, on the device side to be controlled (the control device of the driving device of the side sliding door), only the transmission control device using a relay panel dedicated to the manufacturer can be assembled because the number of I / Os (input / output) is different. . Therefore, a dedicated I / F (interface) for each manufacturer of the above equipment
It is necessary to develop hardware having There are various patterns for a side sliding door opening / closing control system of a vehicle. For example, for those that open and close only one side sliding door, those that can open and close both sides, and those that open the side sliding door again when things are caught and the side sliding door is not completely closed, half open all side sliding doors for a short time Later automatically closes,
For example, all the sliding doors are fully opened and then closed automatically after a short time. Which of these control patterns is used depends on the customer's requirements, but the relay logic by the relay panel for the side sliding door control differs depending on these requirements. An outline of this typical control system is as shown in FIG. In this vehicle, a control device 4 by a relay control circuit is provided for each of the left and right sliding doors of each vehicle, and the control device 4 by this relay control circuit is turned on and off by an open / close switch operated by a conductor. Through line 2,
3 and has a self-holding circuit. If the customer's request is to selectively open and close the left and right side sliding doors, the control device 4 will be installed. In this case, one of the left and right side sliding door open / close switches 1 will be installed. When the side sliding door "open" switch is operated, power is supplied to the lead-in line 2, the self-holding circuit of the control device 4 of each vehicle is closed, and the output is output from the output unit 4a.
The side sliding door control device 6a operates in response to this, and operates the side sliding door driving device 6b to release the side sliding doors all at once. Thereafter, when the "close" switch of the side sliding door is operated, power is supplied to the lead-in line 3, the self-holding circuit is opened, and the side sliding doors are closed at the same time. For example, when it is required from a customer to enable the re-opening / closing operation, a re-opening / closing switch is provided in the open / close switch 1 of the conductor, a memory circuit is added to the control device 4, and the O / O switch is operated by the re-opening / closing switch.
The N, OFF controlled lead-in line 5 is connected in parallel to the storage circuit of the control device 4. In this case, it is necessary to change the relay control circuit.

[0003] When a customer requests that two door leaves at one side entrance can be individually opened and closed, the relay control circuit of the control device 4 is changed accordingly. Further, when an automatic opening / closing control function is required such that only the side sliding door where an object is sandwiched is automatically half-opened and closed again, it is necessary to further change the relay control circuit. As described above, since the requirements of the customer's control system (sequence) are different, it is necessary to rearrange the relay control circuit for each request, and the control circuit becomes more complicated as the requirements increase. In addition, the driving device 6 for the side sliding door
There is a case where a customer is required to use a device of a specific maker also for a device constituting the control device 6 of the side sliding door driving device 6 every time the device maker is different.
Since the output unit to the side a and the input unit from the side sliding door driving device are different, if the control device 6a of the side sliding door driving device 6 is different, the control device is designed accordingly. As mentioned above, customer side sliding door control system (sequence)
Unless the requirements for are determined, it is not possible to start designing a control device using a relay panel, and it is not possible to start a specific design unless it is determined which manufacturer's equipment to use.

[0004]

Outputs an open signal. With this output, a control device (for example, an electromagnetic valve) of the driving device of the side sliding door operates to open the left side sliding door. When the left side sliding door “close” switch is turned on, the command control device (PC) identifies the switch ON signal and transmits a command signal corresponding to the signal to the transmission line. When the "reopen / close" switch on the left side is turned on, a command signal corresponding thereto is transmitted from the command control device (PC) to the transmission path, and the remote I / O of the left side sliding door takes in the signal, and the left side sliding door takes in the signal. Of the side sliding doors, only the side sliding doors that are not completely closed due to an obstacle are simultaneously reopened / closed in a short time. Turn on the "open" switch on the right side sliding door
Then, the command control device (PC) identifies the switch ON in accordance with the installed program, and transmits a command signal corresponding to the command to the transmission path. Only the remote I / O provided in the driving device 6 of the right sliding door of the vehicle receives this command signal, and according to the software installed in the remote I / O, the control device 6 of the driving device 6 of the side sliding door.
Output by I / F (interface) corresponding to a
The right side sliding doors are simultaneously opened. Also, for example, to open the left side sliding door of other vehicles except for the foremost vehicle and the rearmost vehicle, when the conductor pushes the excluded vehicle selection button and turns on the left side sliding door “open” switch, it is installed. The command control device (PC) identifies the command according to the program and transmits a command signal corresponding to the command to the transmission line. The driving device 6 for the left sliding door of the front vehicle and the rearmost vehicle
The remote I / O of the control device 6a does not take in the above-mentioned command signal by the installed software, and only the remote I / O of the control device 6a of the left side sliding door of another vehicle takes in the above-mentioned command signal, and To output the "open" signal. In addition, the side sliding door “open” switch is turned off,
After the side sliding door is closed, set the "reopen / close" switch to O.
When N, the command control device (PC) identifies the switch ON by the incorporated program, and transmits a command signal corresponding to the switch ON to the transmission path. Among the remote I / Os of each vehicle, the remote I / O that has not received the detection signal of “closed” of the side sliding door (the detection signal that the sliding door is completely closed).
Only, the built-in software takes in this command signal, outputs the side sliding door "open" signal to the control device of the driving device, and automatically sets the side sliding door "close" signal after a predetermined time according to the installed software. Is output. As a result, only the side sliding door which has not been completely closed is opened for a short time and automatically closed again.
