Description

  The present invention relates to a control device for an electric sliding door.

  One-box type and minivan type vehicles employ a sliding door that opens and closes by sliding in the front-rear direction on the rear side door. Depending on the option or grade, the sliding door can be opened and closed by the driving force of the motor. It is equipped with a so-called electric sliding door (power sliding door).

  In the electric slide door, for example, a door slide unit and a door closer unit each including a motor are provided. Further, the slide door is provided with a lock mechanism, and the slide door is held in a closed state by the lock mechanism. As a lock mechanism, a configuration in which a latch and a ratchet are provided on a slide door so as to be rotatable is common.

  For example, when the user performs an operation of pulling the door handle provided on the slide door toward the user with the slide door fully opened, the slide operation by the door slide unit is started and the slide door moves in the closing direction. Due to the movement of the sliding door, the striker provided in the vehicle body is received in the engagement groove formed in the latch, and the latch rotates to the half latch position, the latch restrains the striker and the ratchet engages with the latch. Thereby, a slide door will be in a half door state. When the half-door state is reached, the sliding operation by the door sliding unit is terminated, and the closing operation by the door closer unit is started. By the closing operation, the latch is rotated from the half latch position to the full latch position, and the ratchet and the latch are engaged. By this engagement, the rotation of the latch is restricted, and the sliding door is held in the fully closed state. .

JP-A-11-200708

  The lock mechanism is configured to mechanically move the latch from the full latch position to a position where the striker is released by operation of the door handle. Therefore, if the door handle is continuously operated even after the sliding door starts to move, even if the sliding door reaches the fully closed state, the latch does not rotate and the striker is not restrained by the latch. When the operation of the door handle is released in this state, the striker is not restrained by the latch, so that the slide door becomes slidable, and there is a concern that the slide door moves by its own weight when parking on a slope.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an electric sliding door control device capable of restraining a striker by a latch even when a sliding door reaches a fully closed state with a door handle being operated.

  In order to achieve the above object, an electric sliding door control device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a sliding door, a door handle provided on the sliding door, and a sliding door in a state where the latch releases the striker. The sliding door is held in the half-door state by restraining the striker at the half-latch position of the latch, and the sliding door is kept fully closed by restraining the striker at the full-latching position of the latch. , A lock mechanism configured to release the striker restraint by the latch mechanically in conjunction with the operation of the door handle, a slide device that electrically slides the slide door in the opening and closing direction, and the latch from the half latch position Used in vehicles with closers displaced to the full latch position to open and close sliding doors An electric sliding door control device for controlling the operation, a half latch determining means for determining whether or not the latch is located at a half latch position, an operation determining means for determining whether or not the door handle is operated, During sliding in the closing direction of the sliding door by the sliding device, it is determined that the door handle is not operated by the operation determining means in a state where the sliding door is positioned within a predetermined range from the position where the sliding door is fully closed, and A closing operation continuation means for continuing sliding in the closing direction of the sliding door by the sliding device without operating the closer when the half latch determining means determines that the latch is not located at the half latch position. .

  According to this configuration, when the sliding device is slid in the closing direction by the sliding device and enters the predetermined range from the position where the sliding door is fully closed, whether the door handle is operated and the latch is It is determined whether or not it is in the half latch position. When the door handle is not operated and the latch is not positioned at the half latch position, the sliding device continues to slide in the closing direction of the sliding door. Thereby, it can suppress that a slide door becomes slidable (free). Further, since the sliding door slides in the closing direction, the striker can be engaged with the latch, and the latch can be displaced to the half latch position by this engagement.

  Then, if the closer is operated after the latch is displaced to the half latch position, the latch can be displaced from the half latch position to the full latch position, and the slide door can be held in the fully closed state.

  An electric sliding door control device according to another aspect of the present invention includes a sliding door, a door handle provided on the sliding door, and a latch that can be opened and closed in a state where the latch releases the striker. The latch locks the striker at the position to hold the sliding door in the half-door state, and the latch locks the striker at the fully latched position of the latch to hold the slide door in the fully closed state, which is mechanical for door handle operation. A locking mechanism configured to release the striker restraint by the latch, a sliding device that electrically slides the sliding door in the opening and closing direction, and a closer that displaces the latch from the half latch position to the full latch position. Electric slide that is used in vehicles equipped to control the opening and closing operation of the slide door A control device for determining whether or not the latch is positioned at the half-latch position, operation determining means for determining whether or not the door handle is being operated, and a sliding door opening / closing operation. Current value acquisition means for acquiring a current value supplied to a motor as a driving source and a current in a state where it is determined that the door handle is being operated while the sliding device slides in the closing direction of the sliding door. When the current value acquired by the value acquisition means exceeds the determination threshold, the sliding door is stopped by the sliding device, and when it is determined that the door handle is not operated, the sliding door is fully closed. If the latch is not located in the half latch position by the half latch judging means, the clutch is Without operating the over The, and a closing operation resuming means resuming the slide in the closing direction of the sliding door by the slide apparatus.

  According to this configuration, when the door handle is being operated while the sliding device is sliding in the closing direction of the sliding door, if the current value supplied to the motor exceeds the determination threshold, the sliding door by the sliding device The slide in the closing direction is stopped. When the current value supplied to the motor exceeds the determination threshold, there is a possibility that a foreign object is caught between the sliding door and another member, and a possibility that the sliding door has reached a position where the sliding door is fully closed. Conceivable. When pinching occurs, the slide door is stopped from sliding, so that damage to foreign objects due to pinching can be reduced.

  Thereafter, when the operation of the door handle is stopped, it is determined whether or not the sliding door at that time is located within a predetermined range from the position where the sliding door is fully closed. If the sliding door is positioned within the predetermined range but the latch is not positioned in the half-latch position (when the sliding door is not in the half-door state), the sliding device is operated without sliding the closer. The sliding in the door closing direction is resumed. Thereby, it can suppress that a slide door becomes slidable (free). Further, since the sliding door slides in the closing direction, the striker can be engaged with the latch, and the latch can be displaced to the half latch position by this engagement.

  If the closer is operated while the latch is displaced to the half latch position, the latch can be displaced from the half latch position to the full latch position, and the slide door can be held in the fully closed state.

  According to the present invention, even when the sliding door reaches the fully closed state with the door handle operated, the striker can be restrained by the latch, and the half door state or the fully closed state of the sliding door can be maintained. .

It is a block diagram which shows the structure regarding control of the opening / closing operation | movement of a slide door. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of fully closed operation control. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of full open operation control.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<Vehicle configuration>
FIG. 1 is a right side view of a vehicle 1 on which an electric sliding door control device according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted.

  The vehicle 1 is, for example, a minivan type automobile. Although only the right side surface of the vehicle 1 is shown in FIG. 1, a front door opening 2 and a rear door opening 3 are formed on both left and right side surfaces of the vehicle 1, and the front door opening 2 and the rear door opening are formed. The hinge door 4 and the slide door 5 which open and close 3 are provided.

  The hinge door 4 opens and closes the front door opening 2 by swinging with the hinge disposed at the front end as a fulcrum. An outdoor handle 6 that is operated to open and close the hinge door 4 is provided on the outer surface of the hinge door 4.

  As shown by a two-dot chain line and a solid line in FIG. 1, the slide door 5 opens and closes the rear door opening 3 by sliding in the front-rear direction. An outdoor handle 7 that is operated to open and close the slide door 5 is provided on the outer surface of the slide door 5.

  Although not shown, door handles (indoor handles) operated to open and close the hinge door 4 and the slide door 5 are also provided on the surfaces of the hinge door 4 and the slide door 5 on the vehicle interior side. In the following description, there is no need to distinguish between the outdoor handle 7 and the indoor handle of the slide door 5, and these are collectively referred to as “door handle 7”.

<Electric sliding door>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration relating to the control of the opening / closing operation of the slide door 5.

  The vehicle 1 is equipped with an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) including a microcomputer (microcontroller unit). The microcomputer includes, for example, a CPU, ROM and RAM, data flash (flash memory), and the like. Although only an ECU (slide door ECU) 11 for controlling the opening / closing operation of the slide door 5 is shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of ECUs are mounted on the vehicle 1 to control each part. . The plurality of ECUs including the slide door ECU 11 are connected so as to be capable of bidirectional communication using a CAN (Controller Area Network) communication protocol.

  The slide door 5 employs an electric slide door (power slide door), and the slide door 5 can be opened and closed electrically as well as manually opened and closed. The slide door 5 is provided with a door slide unit 21 for electric opening and closing. The door slide unit 21 includes a door motor 22 and a slide mechanism 23.

  The slide mechanism 23 is, for example, a mechanism that includes a pulley that is rotated by the driving force of the door motor 22 and a belt that travels with the rotation of the pulley, and that slides the slide door 5 in the front-rear direction by the driving force of the door motor 22. . The slide mechanism 23 employs a so-called clutchless configuration in which no electromagnetic clutch is provided on the power transmission path.

  The door slide unit 21 further includes a door position sensor 24 and a motor current sensor 25.

  The door position sensor 24 is provided in association with, for example, a rotating body (such as a roller) that rotates as the slide door 5 moves, and outputs a pulse signal synchronized with the rotation of the rotating body as a detection signal. A detection signal of the door position sensor 24 is input to the slide door ECU 11. The slide door ECU 11 acquires the position of the slide door 5 based on the number of pulse signals input from the door position sensor 24.

  The motor current sensor 25 outputs a detection signal corresponding to the current supplied to the door motor 22. A detection signal of the motor current sensor 25 is input to the slide door ECU 11. The slide door ECU 11 acquires the current value flowing through the door motor 22 from the detection signal of the motor current sensor 25.

  The slide door 5 is provided with a door closer unit 31. The door closer unit 31 includes a closer motor 32 and a lock mechanism 33.

  The lock mechanism 33 includes a latch and a ratchet that are provided on the slide door 5 so as to be rotatable, and the ratchet engages the latch while the latch restrains a striker provided on the vehicle body. Is a mechanism for holding the fully closed state.

  More specifically, when the sliding door 5 moves in the closing direction from the fully open state, the striker provided in the vehicle body is received in the engaging groove formed in the latch in the middle of the movement, and the latch is in the half latch position. To turn. Thus, the latch restrains the striker and the ratchet engages with the latch, so that the slide door 5 is in a so-called half-door state. When the sliding door 5 further moves in the closing direction from the half-door state, the latch is rotated from the half-latch position to the full-latch position, and once the engagement between the ratchet and the latch is once released, the latch is engaged again. By this engagement, the rotation of the latch is restricted, and the slide door 5 is held in the fully closed state. The lock mechanism 33 is operated when the user pulls the door handle 7 (see FIG. 1) forward (hereinafter simply referred to as “operation”) when the slide door 5 is in a half-door state or a fully-closed state. The latch is mechanically configured to move from the half latch position or the full latch position to a position where the striker is released.

  When the closer motor 32 is driven while the latch is in the half latch position, the latch is rotated from the half latch position to the full latch position by the driving force of the closer motor 32 (close operation). As the latch rotates from the half-latch position to the full-latch position, the striker moves and the slide door 5 changes from the half-door state to the fully-closed state.

  The door closer unit 31 further includes a half latch switch 34, a full latch switch 35, and a ratchet switch 36 for detecting the rotational position of the latch.

  For example, the half latch switch 34 outputs an off signal when the latch is located at the half latch position, and outputs an on signal when the latch is located at a position other than the half latch position.

  For example, the full latch switch 35 outputs an off signal (no signal output) when the latch is located at the full latch position, and outputs an on signal (with signal output) when the latch is located at a position other than the full latch position. .

  The ratchet switch 36 outputs, for example, an off signal when the ratchet is engaged with the latch, and outputs an on signal when the engagement between the ratchet and the latch is released.

  In the sliding door ECU 11, the latch is located at any of the half latch position, the full latch position, or the half latch position and a position other than the full latch position based on signals output from the half latch switch 34, the full latch switch 35, and the ratchet switch 36. Get that.

  Further, an on / off signal of the door handle switch 41 is input to the slide door ECU 11. The door handle switch 41 is a momentary operation type switch, and outputs an ON signal while the door handle 7 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal when the operation is not performed.

  For example, when the door handle 7 is operated with the slide door 5 fully closed, the slide door ECU 11 controls the slide door 5 based on the position and moving speed of the slide door 5 and the current value of the current flowing through the door motor 22. Is controlled so that the current supplied to the door motor 22 from the battery mounted on the vehicle 1 is controlled. Further, when the door handle 7 is operated with the slide door 5 fully opened, the vehicle door 1 is closed by the slide door ECU 11 based on the current value of the current flowing through the door motor 22. The current supplied to the door motor 22 from the mounted battery is controlled. Further, in order to displace the latch of the lock mechanism 33 from the half latch position to the full latch position, the current supplied from the battery to the closer motor 32 is controlled by the slide door ECU 11.

<Fully closed motion control>
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of the fully-closed operation control.

  The door handle 7 is operated while the slide door 5 is fully open, or the door handle 7 is operated while the slide door 5 is not in the fully open state, the fully closed state, or the half door state. When moved in the closing direction, the fully-closed operation control shown in FIG. 3 is executed by the slide door ECU 11.

  When the fully closing operation control is started, first, the current supplied to the door motor 22 is controlled, and the closing operation of the sliding door 5 by the sliding door unit 21 (hereinafter referred to as “PSD closing operation”) is started. (Step S11).

  Next, the position of the slide door 5 is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the slide door 5 is located in a predetermined reverse open operation prohibition range in the opening direction from a position where the slide door 5 is fully closed (fully closed position). (Step S12).

  If the sliding door 5 is not located in the reverse opening operation prohibition range (NO in step S12), the PSD closing operation is continued (step S11).

  When the sliding door 5 moves in the closing direction and enters the reverse opening operation prohibition range (YES in step S12), it is determined whether or not the condition A is satisfied (step S13). Condition A is a condition that the door handle switch 41 outputs an off signal (the door handle switch 41 is off).

  If condition A is satisfied (YES in step S13), that is, if the door handle switch 41 is OFF, it is determined whether condition B or condition C is satisfied (step S14). Condition B is a condition in which the half latch switch 34 outputs an off signal and the ratchet switch 35 outputs an off signal. Condition C is a condition that the half latch switch 34 outputs an OFF signal and the state continues for a predetermined time. Therefore, when the condition B or the condition C is satisfied, the latch is located at the half latch position, and the slide door 5 is in the half door state. On the other hand, when neither condition B nor condition C is satisfied, the latch is not located at the half latch position.

  If both condition B and condition C are not satisfied (NO in step S14), the PSD closing operation is continued (step S11). As a result, the PSD closing operation is continued when the sliding door 5 is positioned in the reverse opening operation prohibition range, the door handle 7 is not operated, and the latch is not positioned at the half latch position. Become.

  When condition B or condition C is satisfied (YES in step S14), that is, the latch is located at the half latch position, and both the half latch switch 34 and the ratchet switch 35 are turned off, or the half latch switch 34 is turned off. If a certain state continues for a predetermined time, the PSD closing operation is stopped (step S15: PSD stop).

  After the PSD closing operation is stopped, in order to bring the sliding door 5 in the half door state into the fully closed state, a current is supplied to the closer motor 32, and the closing operation by the door closer unit 31 is performed (step S16). Operation control is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the condition A is not satisfied (NO in step S13), that is, when the door handle switch 41 is turned on by the operation of the door handle 7, the pinch determination and the lock determination are performed (step S17).

  In the pinching determination, it is determined whether pinching has occurred during the PSD closing operation. When a foreign object is caught between the slide door 5 and another member such as a vehicle body during the PSD closing operation, the moving speed of the slide door 5 is rapidly reduced, and the rotational acceleration of the door motor 22 is changed accordingly. . In accordance with the change in the rotational acceleration of the door motor 22, the current value supplied to the door motor 22 increases so that the rotational speed of the door motor 22 is maintained at a predetermined speed. Therefore, whether or not the jamming has occurred can be determined based on whether or not the current value supplied to the door motor 22 exceeds a predetermined jamming current threshold value.

  In the lock determination, it is determined whether or not the slide door 5 has reached the fully closed position while the door handle 7 is being operated. When the sliding door 5 reaches the fully closed position while the door handle 7 is being operated, the latch collides with the striker, and the moving speed of the sliding door 5 is suddenly reduced. Accordingly, the rotational acceleration of the door motor 22 is changed. To do. In accordance with the change in the rotational acceleration of the door motor 22, the current value supplied to the door motor 22 increases so that the rotational speed of the door motor 22 is maintained at a predetermined speed. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the slide door 5 has reached the fully closed position while the door handle 7 is being operated, depending on whether or not the current value supplied to the door motor 22 exceeds a predetermined lock current threshold value. it can.

  If the occurrence of pinching is not determined in the pinching determination and the arrival of the slide door 5 to the fully closed position is not determined in the lock determination (NO in step S17), the PSD closing operation is continued (step S11). When the door handle 7 is operated even after the sliding door 5 enters the reverse opening prohibition range, the latch is not located at the half latch position, so the PSD opening operation is stopped and the closing operation by the door closer unit 31 is performed. The latch does not rotate, and the striker is not restrained by the latch. Therefore, when the PSD opening operation continues while the door handle 7 is operated after the sliding door 5 enters the reverse opening operation prohibition range, the PSD closing operation is continued as it is.

  When the occurrence of pinching is determined by the pinching determination, or when it is determined that the sliding door 5 has reached the fully closed position by the lock determination (YES in step S17), the PSD closing operation is stopped (step S18: PSD stop).

  Thereafter, it is determined again whether or not the condition A is satisfied (step S19). Here, when pinching occurs, it is considered that the user operates the door handle 7 to open the slide door 5. On the other hand, when the slide door 5 reaches the fully closed position while the door handle 7 is being operated, it is considered that the user stops the operation of the door handle 7.

  If condition A is not satisfied (NO in step S19), that is, if the operation of the door handle 7 is continued, there is a possibility that pinching has occurred, so the PSD closing operation continues to stop. Thereby, the damage to the foreign material by pinching can be reduced.

  When the condition A is satisfied (YES in step S19), that is, when the operation of the door handle 7 is stopped, the position of the slide door 5 is acquired and the slide door 5 is positioned in the reverse opening operation prohibition range. It is determined whether or not there is (step S20).

  When the slide door 5 is located in the reverse opening operation prohibition range (YES in step S20), it is determined whether or not the condition B or the condition C is satisfied (step S21).

  If both condition B and condition C are not satisfied (NO in step S21), the PSD closing operation is resumed (step S11). As a result, the PSD closing operation is continued while the door handle 7 is operated, the slide door 5 reaches the fully closed position, the operation of the door handle 7 is stopped, and the latch is positioned at the half latch position. If not, the PSD closing operation is resumed.

  When one of the condition B or the condition C is satisfied (YES in step S21), that is, when the latch is located at the half latch position, the slide door 5 is in the half door state. In order to bring the slide door 5 into the fully closed state, a current is supplied to the closer motor 32, the closing operation by the door closer unit 31 is performed (step S16), and the fully closing operation control is ended.

  On the other hand, when the condition A is satisfied and the slide door 5 is not located in the reverse opening operation prohibition range (NO in step S20), that is, when the operation of the door handle 7 is stopped, the slide is performed. When the door 5 is positioned outside the reverse opening operation prohibition range, there is a possibility that the user has tried to open the sliding door 5 due to the occurrence of pinching, and therefore the sliding door 5 is temporarily stopped (step S22). Then, the fully closed operation control is terminated. The slide door 5 can be held in a stopped state by controlling the current supplied to the door motor 22 so that the rotation speed of the door motor 22 matches zero.

<Fully open operation control>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of full opening operation control.

  The door handle 7 is operated while the slide door 5 is fully closed, or the door handle 7 is operated while the slide door 5 is not in the fully open state, the fully closed state, or the half door state. Is moved in the opening direction, the fully open operation control shown in FIG. 3 is executed by the slide door ECU 11.

  When full opening operation control is started, first, the current supplied to the door motor 22 is controlled, and the opening operation of the sliding door 5 (hereinafter referred to as “PSD opening operation”) by the sliding door unit 21 is started (hereinafter referred to as “PSD opening operation”). Step S31).

  Next, the position of the slide door 5 is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the slide door 5 is positioned within a predetermined reverse closed operation prohibition range in the closing direction from the position where the slide door 5 is fully opened (fully opened position) (step). S32).

  When the sliding door 5 is not located in the reverse closing operation prohibition range (NO in step S32), the PSD opening operation is continued (step S31).

  When the sliding door 5 moves in the opening direction and enters the reverse closing operation prohibition range (YES in step S32), a lock determination is performed (step S33).

  In the lock determination, it is determined whether or not the slide door 5 has reached the fully open position. When the sliding door 5 reaches the fully open position, the moving speed of the sliding door 5 decreases rapidly, and the rotational acceleration of the door motor 22 changes accordingly. In accordance with the change in the rotational acceleration of the door motor 22, the current value supplied to the door motor 22 increases so that the rotational speed of the door motor 22 is maintained at a predetermined speed. Therefore, whether or not the slide door 5 has reached the fully open position can be determined based on whether or not the current value supplied to the door motor 22 exceeds a predetermined lock current threshold value.

  If the lock determination does not determine that the slide door 5 has reached the fully open position (NO in step S33), the PSD opening operation is continued (step S31).

  If it is determined in the lock determination that the slide door 5 has reached the fully open position (YES in step S33), it is determined whether or not the door handle switch 41 outputs an off signal (the door handle switch 41 is off). (Step S34).

  If the door handle 7 is not operated and the door handle switch 41 is OFF (YES in step S34), the sliding door 5 has reached the fully open position, so the PSD closing operation is stopped (step S35: PSD). Stop), the fully open operation control is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the lock determination that the slide door 5 has reached the fully opened position (NO in step S34), when the door handle 7 is operated and the door handle switch 41 is on (NO in step S34), It is considered that the user tried to stop the slide door 5 by operating the door handle 7 during the PSD opening operation. Therefore, even when the door handle switch 41 is on (NO in step S34), the PSD closing operation is stopped (step S36: PSD stop).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not an off signal is output from the door handle switch 41 (step S37).

  While the operation of the door handle 7 is continued (NO in step S37), the PSD closing operation is stopped (step S36).

  When the operation of the door handle 7 is stopped and the door handle switch 41 is turned off (YES in step S37), the PSD opening operation is resumed (step S31).

<Effect>
As described above, in the fully closed operation control, when the sliding door 5 enters the predetermined reverse opening operation prohibition range in the opening direction from the fully closed position by the PSD closing operation, the door handle 7 is operated by the sliding door ECU 11. If the door handle 7 is not operated, it is determined whether or not the latch is in the half latch position. When the door handle 7 is not operated and the latch is not located at the half latch position, the PSD closing operation is continued. Thereby, it can suppress that the slide door 5 becomes slidable (free). Moreover, since the slide door 5 slides in the closing direction by continuing the PSD closing operation, the striker can be engaged with the latch, and the latch can be displaced to the half latch position by this engagement.

  Further, when the door handle 7 is operated during sliding of the sliding door by the PSD closing operation, the current value supplied to the door motor 22 exceeds a predetermined pinching current threshold value or a predetermined lock current threshold value is set. If exceeded, the PSD closing operation is stopped (canceled). When pinching occurs, the PSD closing operation is stopped, so that damage to foreign objects due to pinching can be reduced.

  Thereafter, when the operation of the door handle 7 is stopped, it is determined whether or not the slide door 5 is positioned in the reverse opening operation prohibition range. When the slide door 5 is positioned in the reverse opening operation prohibition range but the latch is not positioned at the half latch position, the PSD closing operation is resumed. Thereby, it can suppress that the slide door 5 becomes slidable. Moreover, since the slide door 5 slides in the closing direction by continuing the PSD closing operation, the striker can be engaged with the latch, and the latch can be displaced to the half latch position by this engagement.

  Then, the closing operation by the door closer unit 31 is performed in a state in which the latch is displaced to the half latch position, whereby the latch can be displaced from the half latch position to the full latch position, and the slide door 5 is held in the fully closed state. be able to.
