  A configuration of a power window device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of a vehicle equipped with a power window device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an external view of a driver's seat door provided with a window operation switch, and FIG. 3 is a window operation switch. FIG. 4 shows a control block of the power window device.

  An outline of the vehicle will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in the figure, a driver's seat door 2 is provided on the driver's seat 1a side of the vehicle 1, and a passenger's seat door 3 is provided on the passenger seat side. The driver's seat door 2 supports a driver's seat window 4 that can be raised and lowered (openable and closable), and the passenger's seat door 3 supports a passenger seat window 5 that can be raised and lowered (openable and closable). Further, a right rear window 6 and a left rear window 7 are supported on the rear seat portion of the vehicle 1 so as to be movable up and down (openable and closable).

  The driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are each controlled to be opened and closed by an electric motor (drive motor). The driver's seat door 2 on the driver's seat 1a side is provided with a window operation switch (open / close operation means) for operating each window.

  The driver's seat door 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in the drawing, a driving motor 15 that opens and closes is provided inside the driver's seat door 2. In addition, a drive motor that opens and closes each window for the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is provided.

  A window operation switch 9 is provided at a portion of the armrest 8 of the driver's seat door 2, and the operation information of the operation switch is sent to the control means 11 when the occupant appropriately operates the operation switch of the window operation switch 9. From the control means 11, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger's seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are controlled to be opened or closed individually or simultaneously in a desired state based on the operation information of the operation switches. Thus, a drive command is sent to the drive motor 15 and other drive motors. The opening degree of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is detected by an opening degree detecting means.

  The configuration of the window operation switch will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the window operation switch 9 includes a first switch 21 for operating the drive motor 15 for opening and closing the driver's seat window 4, a second switch 22 for operating the drive motor for opening and closing the passenger seat window 5, and the right rear part. A third switch 23 for operating a drive motor for opening and closing the window 6 and a fourth switch 24 for operating a drive motor for opening and closing the left rear window 7 are provided.

  For example, when each switch is pressed, the corresponding window is individually controlled to open, and when each switch is operated toward the front, the corresponding window is individually controlled to close (second mode).

  Further, for example, when the first switch 21 is pressed strongly, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are simultaneously controlled to open to a predetermined state, and the first switch 21 Is strongly controlled to the front side, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are simultaneously controlled to the closed side (first mode).

  Further, in a state in which any window is set to a desired opening position, for example, when the first switch 21 is strongly operated or pushed forward, any desired window is opened to any opening position. Are controlled to the closed side or the open side all at once (first mode).

  The control in the first mode by the operation of the first switch 21 is regarded as a window on which the driver's seat window 4 is a reference, and the first switch 21 is controlled so that the driver's seat window 4 is controlled toward a predetermined position. When operated, control in the first mode is executed. When the first switch 21 is operated so that the driver's seat window 4 is controlled toward the side opposite to the predetermined position, the second mode is executed.

  In a state where an arbitrary window is controlled to a desired opening position, that is, it is detected that the window to be controlled is in a predetermined position (the first mode is executed), and the window operation switch 9 (first switch 21 which is an opening / closing operation means) is operated, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are simultaneously controlled to the fully closed or fully opened position. (Third mode).

  The control block configuration of the control means 11 will be described based on FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the control means 11 is provided with setting means 31 for setting the above-described first mode, second mode, and third mode. Further, the drive state of the drive motor including the drive motor 15 is inputted, and the storage means 32 for storing and recognizing the opening positions of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7. Is provided. Further, a desired opening position of the window in the first mode, an arbitrary desired window in the first mode, and a setting storage means 33 for storing and recognizing an arbitrary opening position of the window are provided.

  Information on the window operation switch 9, information on the door lock switch, and information on the engine ECU are input to the control means 11. Based on these pieces of input information, the control means 11 determines the operation state of each switch of the window operation switch 9, the door lock state, and the status of whether the ignition is on.

  In accordance with various types of input information, the control means 11 outputs a drive command to drive motors such as the drive motor 15, and the windows are driven and controlled to a desired state. The power window device is provided with a pinching prevention function, and when something is pinched when each window is closed, the closing operation of the window is canceled and the opening operation is slightly performed. When the information on the pinching prevention function is input to the control means 11 and the window is closed, if anything is pinched, the closing operation is temporarily stopped.

  A specific processing flow of the above-described power window device will be described with reference to FIGS.

  A process for selecting a mode will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 5 shows a flowchart for executing processing in the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode.

  When the process starts, as a precondition, it is confirmed in step S1 that the door is unlocked (occupant is on board), and in step S2, the operation statuses of various switches of the window operation switch 9 are input.

  In step S3, it is determined whether the ignition is on (IG / ON). If it is determined in step S3 that the ignition is on, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, the left In step S4, it is determined whether or not the operation is a concentrated operation for controlling the rear windows 7 all at once.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the operation is not a concentrated operation, any one of the first switch 21, the second switch 22, the third switch 23, and the fourth switch 24 of the window operation switch 9 is operated, and the corresponding window is individually set. It is determined that the mode is controlled to open or closed (a mode for controlling the opening / closing of at least one window), and the second mode is executed in step S5.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the operation is a concentrated operation, it is determined in step S6 whether or not the operation is in a predetermined direction. For example, the opening operation is performed by the first switch 21 in a state in which a predetermined position is set on the opening direction side with respect to the current position of the reference window (for example, the driver's seat window 4). If it is determined in step S6 that the operation is in the predetermined direction, and if the first switch 21 is operated in the closing direction, it is determined in step S6 that the operation is not in the predetermined direction.

  If it is determined in step S6 that the operation is in the predetermined direction, it is determined that the first switch 21 is operated in the direction in which the window is directed to the predetermined position in the control of the first mode by the operation of the first switch 21. In S7, the first mode is executed. That is, when the first switch 21 is operated so that the reference driver's seat window 4 is opened and closed in the direction of a predetermined position, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 The (arbitrary window) is controlled to each preset predetermined position (fully closed, fully open, predetermined open position) (first mode).

  If it is determined in step S6 that the operation is not in the predetermined direction, in the control of the first mode by the operation of the first switch 21, the first switch 21 is operated in a direction opposite to the predetermined position of the window. The determination is made, and the process proceeds to step S5 to execute the second mode. That is, when the first switch 21 is operated so that the reference driver's seat window 4 is opened and closed in the direction opposite to the predetermined position, the driver's seat follows the signal transmitted by the output of the first switch 21. The window 4 is individually controlled (second mode).

  Therefore, the first mode for controlling the opening / closing operation of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 based on the output of the window operation switch 9, and the signal of the output of the window operation switch 9 The second mode for controlling the opening / closing of at least one window can be executed. For this reason, it becomes possible to arbitrarily open and close a plurality of windows by a simple operation.

  After the first mode is executed in step S7 or after the second mode is executed in step S5, whether or not the opening degree of the window to be controlled (driver's seat window 4) is at a predetermined position is determined. This is determined in step S8. When it is determined in step S8 that the opening of the window to be controlled is at a predetermined position (a predetermined opening position), it is determined whether or not the first switch 21 is operated in step S9.

  If it is determined in step S9 that the first switch 21 has been operated, the third mode is executed in step S10, and all of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are fully closed. Or it is controlled to open fully.

  That is, it is detected that an arbitrary window (driver's seat window 4) is controlled to a desired opening position, that is, that the window to be controlled is at a predetermined position (the first mode is executed). When the window operation switch 9 (the first switch 21 as the opening / closing operation means) is operated, the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are fully closed or It is controlled to the fully open position (third mode).

  If it is determined in step S8 that the opening of the window to be controlled is not at a predetermined position (fully closed or fully open), or if it is determined in step S9 that the first switch 21 is not operated, the process is performed. End.

  The processing in the first mode will be specifically described based on FIGS.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for selecting the type of processing in the first mode, FIG. 7 is the full opening / closing control routine processing, FIG. 8 is the set amount opening control routine processing, and FIG. 9 is the arbitrary opening / closing control routine processing. Processing is shown.

  The process selection status will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in the figure, based on the operation of the window operation switch 9, it is determined in step S11 whether or not full open / close control is performed. If it is determined in step S11 that the full open / close control is set, a full open / close control routine is executed in step S12. If it is determined in step S11 that it is not full opening / closing control, it is determined in step S13 whether or not it is set opening / closing control.

  If it is determined in step S13 that the set open / close control is set, a set open / close control routine is executed in step S14. If it is determined in step S13 that it is not the set opening / closing control, the arbitrary opening / closing control routine is executed in step S15 because it is not the full opening / closing control and the setting opening / closing control.

  The state of the full opening / closing control routine will be described based on FIG.

  The full opening / closing control routine is performed by, for example, operating the first switch 21 so that the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are in a predetermined state all at once, This process is controlled to be closed.

  When the process is started, the open / close positions of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are read in step S21. The opening / closing position of the window is set based on, for example, the count value of the operation time of the drive motor (opening degree detecting means). The opening / closing position of the window can also be detected directly using a sensor.

  After the window position is read in step S21, it is determined in step S22 whether there is an open window. Whether or not there is an open window is determined by comprehensively determining the count value of the operating time of all the power windows, and when the count value of the operating time of the drive motor is other than plus or minus 0, It is determined that all windows are open.

  If it is determined in step S22 that there is an open window, in step S23, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6 and the left rear window 7 are opened all at once (open operation). It is determined whether or not there is.

  If it is determined in step S23 that the operation is to open the windows all at once, the position of the most open window among the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is displayed. The process of aligning the windows is performed. That is, the alignment opening control is executed in step S24.

  If it is determined in step S23 that the operation is not to fully open the windows all at once, that is, if it is determined to be the operation to fully close the windows all at once, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear portion Of the window 6 and the left rear window 7, a process of aligning other windows at the position of the most closed window is performed. That is, the alignment closing control is executed in step S25.

  After the alignment opening control is executed in step S24, the full opening control for fully opening the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is executed in step S26, and the process ends. .

  If it is determined in step S22 that there are no open windows, it is determined in step S27 whether or not it is an operation for opening the windows all at once. In step S27, the windows are opened all at once. If it is determined, the process proceeds to step S24. If it is determined in step S27 that the operation is not an operation for opening the windows all at once, that is, if it is determined that the operation is for the windows being fully closed while the windows are fully closed, the processing is ended.

  On the other hand, after the alignment closing control is executed in step S25, full closing control for fully closing the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is executed in step S28. In the process in which the window is fully closed, it is determined in step S29 whether or not there is a pinch determination, and if it is determined in step S29 that there is no pinch determination, the process ends. If it is determined in step S29 that there is a pinch determination, the process proceeds to step S22.

  In the above-described processing, when there are windows opened in the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7, the other window is located at the position of the most opened window during the full open control. In the fully closed control, the position of the other window is aligned with the position of the most closed window, and all the windows are aligned, and the fully open control or the fully closed control is executed all at once. .

  Thereby, for example, by operating the first switch 21, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 can be controlled to be fully opened or fully closed all at once. Then, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are aligned at the most fully opened position or a position close to the fully closed position, and are controlled to be fully opened or fully closed. .

  The status of the setting opening / closing control routine will be described based on FIG.

  In the setting opening / closing control routine, for example, by operating the first switch 21, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are simultaneously set in a predetermined state ( This is a process for controlling the position (stored in the setting storage means 33).

  When the processing is started, the open / close positions of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are read in step S31. The opening / closing position of the window is set based on, for example, the count value of the operation time of the drive motor (opening degree detecting means). The opening / closing position of the window can also be detected directly using a sensor.

  After the window position is read in step S31, it is determined whether or not there is an open window in step S32. Whether or not there is an open window is determined by comprehensively determining the count value of the operating time of all the power windows, and when the count value of the operating time of the drive motor is other than plus or minus 0, It is determined that all windows are open.

  If it is determined in step S32 that there is an open window, the other windows are aligned at the position of the most closed window among the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7. Processing is performed. That is, the alignment closing control is executed in step S33.

  After the alignment closing control is executed in step S33, full closing control for fully closing the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is executed in step S34. In the process in which the window is fully closed, it is determined in step S35 whether or not there is a pinch determination, and if it is determined in step S35 that there is no pinch determination, the window has been fully closed. The process proceeds to step 36, where a process for opening a predetermined amount of windows is executed, and the process ends.

  In step 36, the drive motor is driven in the opening direction for a predetermined time, for example, the time stored in the setting storage means 33 (see FIG. 4), and the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, the left The rear window 7 is opened by a predetermined amount (for example, 20 mm). That is, all windows are once fully closed and then opened by a predetermined amount and controlled to a predetermined opening position all at once.

  For this reason, when the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are opened to predetermined positions set in advance, the amount of movement up to the opening position can be minimized. Even when a plurality of windows are controlled simultaneously, the windows can be accurately adjusted to a predetermined opening position, and predetermined opening positions of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 can be adjusted. Can be easily arranged.

  The situation of the arbitrary opening / closing control routine will be described based on FIG.

  In the arbitrary opening / closing control routine, for example, any or all of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are set in advance by operating the first switch 21. This is a process of controlling to an arbitrary opening position (stored in the setting storage means 33).

  When the process is started, the open / close positions of the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are read in step S41. The opening / closing position of the window is set based on, for example, the count value of the operation time of the drive motor (opening degree detecting means). The opening / closing position of the window can also be detected directly using a sensor.

  After the window position is read in step S41, it is determined in step S42 whether there is an open window. Whether or not there is an open window is determined by comprehensively determining the count value of the operating time of all the power windows, and when the count value of the operating time of the drive motor is other than plus or minus 0, It is determined that all windows are open.

  If it is determined in step S42 that there is an open window, it is determined in step S43 whether the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are opened to the opening side. Is judged.

  When it is determined in step S43 that the opening operation is performed, a process of aligning the other windows at the position of the most open window among the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is performed. Done. That is, the alignment opening control is executed in step S44.

  If it is determined in step S43 that the operation is not a window opening operation, that is, if it is determined that the windows are closed all at once, the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6 In the left rear window 7, the process of aligning the other windows at the position of the window that is most closed is performed. That is, the alignment closing control is executed in step S45.

  After the alignment opening control is executed in step S44, the arbitrary opening control is executed in step S46, and the process ends. Arbitrary opening control is a process of controlling any window desired by the occupant among the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 by an opening operation to an arbitrary opening position desired by the occupant. It has become. Arbitrary windows and arbitrary opening positions are stored in the setting storage means 33 (see FIG. 4).

  If it is determined in step S42 that there is no open window, it is determined in step S47 whether it is a window opening operation, and if it is determined in step S47 that it is a window opening operation, step S46 is performed. Then, the arbitrary opening control is executed. If it is determined in step S47 that the window is not opened, that is, if it is determined that the window is closed when the window is fully closed, the process ends.

  On the other hand, after the alignment closing control is executed in step S45, the arbitrary closing control is executed in step S48. Arbitrary closing control is a process for controlling an arbitrary window desired by the occupant among the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 to an arbitrary opening position desired by the occupant by a closing operation. It has become. Arbitrary windows and arbitrary opening positions are stored in the setting storage means 33 (see FIG. 4).

  In the process of closing the window, it is determined in step S49 whether or not there is a pinch determination. If it is determined in step S49 that there is no pinch determination, the process ends. If it is determined in step S49 that there is a pinch determination, the process proceeds to step S42.

  In the above-described processing, when there are windows opened in the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7, during the arbitrary opening control, another window is located at the position of the most opened window. Adjust the position of the window, and at the time of arbitrary closing control, align the position of the other window with the position of the window that is most closed, and with all the windows aligned, any window desired by the occupant opens, or The opening operation is controlled to an arbitrary opening position desired by the passenger.

  Thus, for example, by operating the first switch 21, any window desired by the passenger among the driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 is controlled to an arbitrary opening position. can do. The driver seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 are once aligned at the same position, and an arbitrary window is controlled to an arbitrary opening position. For this reason, the operation to an arbitrary opening position is shortened, and the opening position can be accurately adjusted even when there are a plurality of arbitrary windows.

  In the above-described embodiment, all windows are aligned at the same position and then an arbitrary window is moved to an arbitrary position. However, the process of aligning the positions of all windows can be omitted. .

  Based on the output of the window operation switch 9, the power window device described above controls the opening / closing operations of the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 to be fully opened and closed all at once. The first mode can be executed such as controlling to an arbitrary position all at once, or controlling an arbitrary window to an arbitrary position. In addition, the second mode for controlling the opening / closing of at least one window can be executed following the output signal of the window operation switch 9.

  Therefore, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 can be arbitrarily opened and closed with a simple operation.

  Another embodiment of the window operation switch will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 10 shows the appearance of a window operation switch according to another embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member as the window operation switch 9 shown in FIG. 3, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The window operation switch 35 will be described with reference to FIG.

  A select switch 36 is provided in the window operation switch 35 shown in FIG. The select switch 36 is a switch for selecting the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode. For example, three positions of the select switch 36 are selected according to the rotation position, and “first” in the first mode, “second” in the second mode, and “third” in the third mode are displayed.

  When the “first” display position is selected by the select switch 36, for example, by operating the first switch 21 of the window operation switch 35, the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7. It is possible to execute a first mode in which the opening / closing operations are controlled to be fully open and fully closed all at once, controlled to an arbitrary position all at once, and an arbitrary window is controlled to an arbitrary position.

  When the “second” display position is selected with the select switch 36, the operation of the first switch 21, the second switch 22, the third switch 23, and the fourth switch 24 of the window operation switch 35 is followed (sent by output). The second mode for controlling the opening and closing of the corresponding window can be executed.

  When the “third” display position is selected with the select switch 36, after the control in the first mode is finished, for example, by operating the first switch 21 of the window operation switch 35, all windows are fully closed or fully opened. A third mode of controlling the position can be executed.

  The window operation switch 38 will be described with reference to FIG.

  A mode operation switch 39 is provided in the window operation switch 38 shown in FIG.

  By operating the mode operation switch 39, the opening / closing operations of the driver's seat window 4, the passenger seat window 5, the right rear window 6, and the left rear window 7 can be controlled to be fully opened and closed all at once, It is possible to execute the first mode in which the control is performed in a controlled manner or an arbitrary window is controlled to an arbitrary position.

  Further, by operating the mode operation switch 39, the first mode is prohibited and the window is opened and closed following the operation of the first switch 21, the second switch 22, the third switch 23, and the fourth switch 24. Two modes can be executed. Further, by operating the mode operation switch 39, it is possible to execute the third mode in which all windows are controlled to the fully closed position or the fully open position.

  The present invention can be used in the industrial field of power window devices that can arbitrarily operate a plurality of windows.
