  The operation device 30 is a device for operating the window regulator 20 to move up and down, and is provided with a touch panel 31 that detects a contact operation at a position that is easily operated by an occupant inside the door panel. The touch panel 31 includes a press detection unit 31a that detects pressed coordinates and a coordinate processing unit 31b that processes the coordinates detected by the press detection unit 31a. In this embodiment, an electrostatic capacitance type is used.

  Here, the present embodiment will be described using the touch panel 31 described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is provided with image display means for displaying an image, and the window regulator can be touched by touching the position of the display content. You may use what can operate 20 raising / lowering.

  The press detection unit 31a is a unit that detects that the touch panel 31 is pressed by a finger or the like, and can detect information on the touched screen position as coordinates. The press detection means 31a can detect that an arbitrary position is pressed, or can detect that the switch is operated at a predetermined operation distance or operation speed in the vertical and horizontal directions while being pressed. The operated information is transmitted to the coordinate processing means 31b described later.

  The coordinate processing unit 31b is a unit that processes information operated by the press detection unit 31a, and processes position information operated by the press detection unit 31a or information on a predetermined operation distance or operation speed when pressed. I do. Here, the coordinate processing means 31b performs arithmetic processing on the information operated in a state where the press detection means 31a is pressed, and then transmits the information to the arithmetic control device 40 described later.

  The arithmetic control device 40 calculates and controls the drive amount of the elevating motor 24c included in the window regulator 20 based on the information processed by the coordinate processing means 31b of the operating device 30.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the windshield elevating system 10 of the present invention can drive the window regulator 20 and elevate the window glass 21 a by operating the touch panel 31 of the operating device. The procedure for opening the window glass 21a from the closed state to an arbitrary position will be described.

  The window glass 21 a in the closed state starts to descend when the occupant touches an arbitrary position of the operating device 30. Here, the pressing detection means 31a of the operating device 30 detects the information on the touched screen position as coordinates, and transmits the information to the arithmetic control device 40 via the coordinate processing means 31b.

  The calculation control device 40 calculates the information obtained by the operation device 30 and then transmits the control information to the lifting motor 24c provided in the window regulator 20, thereby driving the lift arm 23 and lowering the movable rail 21 to wind the window. The glass 21a is lowered. Here, since the window glass 21a can appropriately determine the signal calculated by the calculation control device 40 with the pulse sensor of the lifting motor 24c and rotate the lifting motor 24c, the window glass 21a can be moved to an arbitrary position. Can be released.

  In addition, the window glass lifting system 10 of the present invention can not only lower the window glass 21c but also raise the window glass 21c. When the window glass 21a at an arbitrary position is opened, The window glass 21a is raised by the window regulator 20 by newly selecting the position in the glass 21a closing direction.

Here, the occupant operates at a predetermined operation distance or operation speed in a state where the pressing detection means 31a of the operating device 30 is pressed.

  The window glass 21a in the closed state is instructed to descend by operating from the top to the bottom at a predetermined operation distance or operation speed while the occupant presses down the pressing detection means 31a of the operating device 30. Then, the coordinate processing means 31b transmits a signal for opening the window glass 21a to the lowest position from the information on the operation distance or operation speed to the arithmetic and control unit 40.

  The arithmetic and control unit 40 calculates the information obtained by the operating device 30 and then transmits it to the elevating motor 24c provided in the window regulator 20, thereby driving the lift arm 23 and lowering the movable rail 21 to move the wind glass 21a. Descend. Here, since the window glass 21a can appropriately determine the signal calculated by the calculation control device 40 with the pulse sensor of the lifting motor 24c and rotate the lifting motor 24c, the window glass 21a reaches the lowest position. 21 can be lowered.

  Further, the window glass lifting system 10 of the present invention can not only open the window glass 21a in the closed state to the lowest position but also raise the window glass 21a from the lowest position to the closed state. Then, when the pressing detection means 31a of the operating device 30 is pressed, the window glass 21a is instructed to rise by operating from the bottom to the top at a predetermined operating distance or operating speed. Then, the coordinate processing means 31b transmits a signal for closing the window glass 21a to the arithmetic and control unit 40 from information on the operation distance or operation speed. Receiving the signal, the arithmetic unit 40 controls the drive of the lifting motor 24c to close the window glass 21.

  Here, the window glass 21a moving from the closed state to the lowermost position or from the lowermost position to the closed state temporarily moves up and down when it is detected that the operating device 30 is operated or an object is caught in the window glass 21a. The structure is to be interrupted.

In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the operating device 30 is provided at a position where the occupant inside the door panel can easily operate is described. However, the operating device 30 can be directly provided on the window glass 21a. In this case, a highly transmissive touch panel 31 is installed.
