Description

The present invention relates to a switch for opening and closing an auto slide door of an automobile from the outside.

Auto-sliding doors of automobiles automatically open and close by a driving means such as a motor. An electric signal is sent to the control device for the driving means of the automatic sliding door, whereby the driving means is operated to open when the sliding door is closed, and to close when it is open.

However, pulling the door handle requires a certain amount of force, and there is a problem that the door cannot be opened by children and elderly people. Also, if you have a load in your hand, it will be difficult to pull the door handle, and you will often have to unload the load.

In view of such problems, the present invention has an object to provide a touch switch device for an auto slide door that can eliminate an operation of pulling a door handle during an opening operation in an auto slide door of an automobile. .

The invention described in claim 1 is a switch device that generates a signal for opening and closing an auto-sliding door of an automobile, and is electrically connected to a door handle or a touch switch mechanism provided near the door handle and the touch switch mechanism. By connecting the touch switch mechanism part to a capacitive touch switch, the control means opens and closes the door by touching an operation of detecting a contact based on a change in capacitance and inputting the switch. An automatic sliding door touch switch device having a signal terminal for outputting a signal.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the touch switch device for an automatic sliding door, a transparent resin is applied to the capacitive touch electrode of the touch switch mechanism and one end of the door handle so as to be waterproof. The door handle plating cover is attached.

Device effect

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a switch mechanism that generates a signal for opening and closing an auto-sliding door of an automobile is a capacitive touch switch. The input is operated by touch. This makes it easy for even people without power, such as children, to touch, and even if you have a baggage, you can easily touch it, so people with luggage can easily open and close it. Can be performed and mechanical action is unnecessary.

The invention according to claim 2 engages the touch electrode of the capacitive touch switch of the touch switch mechanism and the door handle plating cover coated with a transparent resin so as to be waterproofed at one end of the door handle. Is. By coating the door handle plating cover with resin, the switch mechanism does not get wet even if the outer surface of the car gets wet due to rain or car wash, etc., and even if it touches anything with low capacitance such as plastic or baggage Since the human body is completely protected from static electricity, the capacitive touch electrode can touch the door handle plating cover from the outside without malfunctioning.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a partially enlarged front view of an auto-sliding door D provided with a touch switch device according to the embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows an AA enlarged sectional view. The auto-sliding door D is provided with a door handle L, and a door handle cover C and a door handle plating cover B are provided at one end of the door handle. And the touch switch mechanism part 11 is built in between the sliding doors D so that it may be hidden by the door handle cover C. A door handle plating cover B coated with a transparent resin so as to be waterproof is formed so as to cover the door handle cover C. The touch switch mechanism unit 11 is a commercially available capacitive touch switch, and a connector F is connected to the touch switch mechanism unit 11, and four conductor wires covered with Sumitube are connected to the connector F. One of the conductive wire terminals is bonded and fixed to the tip through a not-shown giboshi terminal so as to be engaged from the inside of the door handle plating cover B. Three of the conductive wire terminals are connected to a slide door control unit described later. Two of the terminals are connected to a power supply terminal that receives power supply from a power supply and a ground (GND) terminal that matches a voltage with the microcomputer. One of the terminals is a signal terminal that outputs a signal that causes the sliding door control unit to open and close the door when the touch switch is touched.

FIG. 3 shows a functional block diagram of an automatic sliding door device including a touch switch device. The sliding door control unit 101 is constructed around a microcomputer M (microcomputer) 102 having a built-in ROM and RAM. The sliding door control unit includes a vehicle speed signal 103 for detecting the vehicle speed, a power slide switch 104, a handle. The switch device 105, the touch switch device 106, the sliding door constant power source 107, the sliding door drive motor 108, the GND (earth) 109, the body computer 110, etc. are connected to the control device. The microcomputer M follows the stored program. Perform the operation. The auto-sliding door drive motor 108 drives to close the door when the door is open, and opens the door when the door is closed. The slide door D can be driven by operating a power slide door switch 104 provided in the driver's seat. The door handle switch device 105 includes a switch that operates when the door handle L is pulled and a switch circuit. When the door handle L is pulled, a signal is sent to the microcomputer M102. The touch switch device 106 includes a touch electrode 106a and a capacitance switch circuit 106b, and sends a signal to the microcomputer M102 by touching the touch electrode 106a of the touch switch mechanism unit 11.

FIG. 4 shows a circuit configuration of the touch switch device 106.

Next, the operation of the automatic sliding door driving device having such a configuration will be described.
6 is a flowchart showing the operation according to FIG. The microcomputer M102 always waits for signals from the handle switch device 105 and the touch switch device 106 (s101, s102). When the touch electrode of the touch switch device 106 is touched, it is input to the microcomputer M102, and the microcomputer M102 drives the slide door drive motor 108 in response to this (s101, s103). When the door handle L is pulled instead of the touch switch device 106, a signal is also input to the microcomputer M102, and the microcomputer M102 drives the slide door drive motor 108 accordingly (s102, s103). When the sliding door driving motor is opened, the automatic sliding door driving device can be driven with the vehicle speed of 0 km and the door lock released. The time required for driving signals from the power slide door switch 104 and the touch switch device 106 provided in the driver's seat is set, and 0.5 to 0.6 seconds are set until driving from the microcomputer M102. .

As described above, a touch switch device that opens and closes a sliding door with a single touch can be used in combination with a handle switch, so that children and the elderly, such as those with weak power and those with luggage, can selectively open the door handle. The sliding door can be opened and closed using a touch switch device that can eliminate the action of pulling.

It is a partial enlarged front view of an auto slide door provided with a touch switch device. It is an AA expanded sectional view of FIG. It is a functional block diagram of an auto slide door drive device including a touch switch device. It is a block diagram which shows the circuit structure of a touch switch apparatus. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of an auto slide door drive device.
