As the first open / close switch 62L and the second open / close switch 63L, for example, a push switch that outputs a signal by a pushing operation can be used. The signals from the open / close switches 62L and 63L are output to the ECU 100.

The ECU 100 determines whether to move the slide door DL in the open direction or the closed direction based on the signals of the open / close switches 62L and 63L and the signals of the open sensor 2L and the closed sensor 3L. Specifically, when the ECU 100 receives a signal from the first open / close switch 62L or the second open / close switch 63L when the slide door DL is in the fully open state, the ECU 100 determines that the operation of closing the slide door DL has been performed. Further, when the ECU 100 receives a signal from the first open / close switch 62L or the second open / close switch 63L when the slide door DL is in the fully closed state, it determines that the operation of opening the slide door DL has been performed.

The ECU 100 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and an input / output circuit, such as switches 61 and 62 and sensors 2, 3, 71, and 72. Control is executed by performing various arithmetic processes based on the input from the CPU and the programs and data stored in the ROM. In particular, in the present embodiment, the ECU 100 controls the opening and closing of the slide door D and controls the shift lock mechanism 90.

The ECU 100 has the first condition that the left rear seat DL is open and the left rear seat S4 is located at the second position, and the first condition that an object is placed on the seat surface of the left rear seat S4. It has a function of restricting the closing of the slide door DL by the lock mechanism 4L when the two conditions are satisfied. Further, in the ECU 100, the first condition that the right rear seat DR is open and the right rear seat S3 is located at the second position, and the object is placed on the seat surface of the right rear seat S3. When the second condition such as the above is satisfied, the lock mechanism 4L has a function of restricting the closing of the sliding door DR.

In the structure on the left side, the ECU 100 is in a state in which the slide door DL on the left side is opened to closed when the first condition described above and the third condition such that no object is placed on the seat surface are satisfied. When operated to move toward, the ball screw mechanism 5L has a function of moving the left rear seat S4 from the second position to the first position. Further, in the structure on the right side, the ECU 100 is closed from the open state of the slide door DR on the right side when the first condition described above and the third condition such that no object is placed on the seat surface are satisfied. It has a function of moving the right rear seat S3 from the second position to the first position by the ball screw mechanism 5R when the ball screw mechanism 5R is operated so as to move toward the vertical state.

Even when the seat movement switch 61 is operated, the ECU 100 does not operate the ball screw mechanism 5 when the shift lever 81 is located at a position other than the parking position “P”, so that the rear right is rearward. It has a function of restricting the movement of the seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 from the first position to the second position. Further, when at least one of the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 is located at the second position, the ECU 100 locks the position of the shift lever 81 to the parking position "P" by the shift lock mechanism 90. It has a function of restricting the shift lever 81 from moving from the parking position "P" to another position.

Next, the operation of the ECU 100 will be described in detail.
The ECU 100 executes the door lock control shown in FIG. 3, the shift lever control shown in FIG. 4, and the seat movement control shown in FIG. Specifically, the ECU 100 individually executes the door lock control and the seat movement control for each of the left rear seat S4 and the right rear seat S3. In each drawing, for convenience, the left rear seat S4 and the right rear seat S3 are collectively referred to as "seats", and the left and right sliding doors DL and DR are collectively referred to as "doors".

The ECU 100 constantly repeatedly executes door lock control, shift lever control, and seat movement control. In the following description, the door lock control and the seat movement control will be described on behalf of the control of the structure on the left side.

In the door lock control shown in FIG. 3, the ECU 100 first determines whether or not the left sliding door DL is in the fully open state based on the signal from the open sensor 2L (S11). If it is determined in step S11 that the state is fully open (Yes), the ECU 100 determines whether or not the left rear seat S4 is located in the second position based on the signal from the second position sensor 73L (Yes). S12).

If it is determined in step S12 that the left rear seat S4 is located at the second position (Yes), the ECU 100 outputs an ON signal from the load sensor 71L of the left rear seat S4, that is, the seat of the left rear seat S4. It is determined whether or not an object is placed on the surface (S13). If it is determined in step S13 that an ON signal is being output from the load sensor 71L (Yes), the ECU 100 locks the slide door DL to the fully open state by the lock mechanism 4L (S14), and ends this control. .. If No is determined in any of steps S11 to S13, the ECU 100 unlocks the slide door DL by the lock mechanism 4L (S15), and ends this control.

In the shift lever control shown in FIG. 4, the ECU 100 first determines whether or not the shift lever 81 is located at the parking position "P" based on the signal from the shift position sensor (not shown) of the shift lever mechanism 80. (S21). If it is determined in step S21 that the shift lever 81 is not located at the parking position "P" (No), the ECU 100 ends this control.

If it is determined in step S21 that the shift lever 81 is located at the parking position "P" (Yes), the ECU 100 determines that the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat are based on the signal from the first position sensor 72L. It is determined whether or not both S4 are located at the first position (S22). If it is determined in step S22 that the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 are located in the first position (Yes), the ECU 100 unlocks the shift lever 81 at the parking position "P" (S23).

If it is determined in step S22 that at least one of the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 is not located in the first position (No), the ECU 100 sets the shift lever 81 in the parking position "P" by the shift lock mechanism 90. (S24) to end this control. That is, when at least one of the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 is located at the second position, it is determined as No in step S22, and the shift lever 81 is locked to the parking position “P”.

In the seat movement control shown in FIG. 5, the ECU 100 first determines whether or not the seat movement switch 61L has been operated based on the signal from the seat movement switch 61L (S31). When it is determined in step S31 that the seat movement switch 61L has been operated (Yes), the ECU 100 sets the shift lever 81 to the parking position "P" based on the signal from the shift position sensor (not shown) of the shift lever mechanism 80. It is determined whether or not it is located in (S32).

If it is determined in step S32 that the shift lever 81 is located at the parking position "P" (Yes), the ECU 100 moves the left rear seat S4 in response to the signal of the seat movement switch 61L (S33). After step S33, or when it is determined as No in steps S31 and S32, has the ECU 100 received a signal for operating the slide door DL, specifically, a signal from the first open / close switch 62L or the second open / close switch 63L? It is determined whether or not (S34).

If it is determined in step S34 that a signal for operating the slide door DL has been input (Yes), the ECU 100 determines whether or not the slide door DL is in the fully open state based on the signal from the open sensor 2L (Yes). S35). If it is determined in step S35 that the slide door DL is in the fully open state (Yes), the ECU 100 determines whether or not the left rear seat S4 is located in the second position based on the signal from the second position sensor 73L. Is determined (S36).

If it is determined in step S36 that the left rear seat S4 is located at the second position (Yes), the ECU 100 determines whether the load sensor 71L is OFF, that is, whether or not an object exists on the seat surface of the left rear seat S4. Is determined (S37). When it is determined in step S37 that the load sensor 71L is OFF (Yes), the ECU 100 moves the left rear seat S4 from the second position to the first position by the ball screw mechanism 5L (S38). If it is determined as No after step S38 or in any of steps S34 to S37, the ECU 100 ends this control.

Next, the operation and effect of the vehicle C according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. In detail, the action and effect when a plurality of occupants are sequentially shared in the vehicle C will be described. The positions of the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 in the initial state are the first positions. Further, in FIGS. 6 to 9, for convenience, the members such as the operating switch are painted in black and displayed.

As shown in FIG. 6A, when the driver X driving the vehicle C arrives at the meeting place with the first occupant Y, the vehicle C is stopped and the shift lever 81 is moved from the drive position “D”. Shift to the parking position "P". Next, the driver X operates the first open / close switch 62L as shown in FIG. 6B. As a result, the left sliding door DL moves from the fully closed state to the fully open state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7A, the occupant Y operates the left and right seat movement switches 61L and 61R in order to move both the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 to the second position. At this time, since the shift lever 81 is located at the parking position “P”, the ECU 100 determines Yes in each of the processes of steps S31 and S32, and both the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 are second. Move to position. As a result, the aisle PS is formed between the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4.

When the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 move to the second position in this way, the ECU 100 determines No in the process of step S22, and the shift lock mechanism 90 sets the shift lever 81 to the parking position “P”. Lock.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the occupant Y moves to the rearmost seat S5 through the aisle PS between the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 and is seated. At this time, if the luggage CB carried by the occupant Y is placed in the left rear seat S4, all the conditions in steps S11 to S13 are satisfied. Therefore, the ECU 100 fully opens the slide door DL by the lock mechanism 4L. Lock to state. Therefore, even if the driver X operates the first open / close switch 62L, the slide door DL on the left side does not close, so that it is possible to prevent the slide door DL from coming into contact with the luggage CB.

As shown in FIG. 8A, when the occupant Y withdraws the luggage CB from the left rear seat S4, the condition of step S31 is not satisfied, so that the ECU 100 unlocks the slide door DL by the lock mechanism 4L. After that, when the driver X operates the first open / close switch 62L again as shown in FIG. 8B, the unlocked slide door DL moves from the fully open state to the fully closed state. Further, at this time, the ECU 100 determines Yes in each of the processes of steps S34 to S37, and moves the left rear seat S4 located at the second position to the first position.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the sliding door DL from interfering with the left rear seat S4. In particular, for example, when the position where the left rear seat S4 protrudes outward in the left-right direction from the opening HL of the side BL of the vehicle body B is set as the second position in order to make the aisle PS larger, the interference is good. Can be suppressed to.

After the sliding door DL is closed, the driver X tries to move the shift lever 81 from the parking position "P" to the drive position "D" in order to pick up the next occupant. However, since the right rear seat S3 remains in the second position, that is, the condition of step S22 is not satisfied, the shift lever 81 remains locked to the parking position “P”, and the driver X uses the shift lever 81. Cannot be moved from the parking position "P".

As a result, the vehicle C cannot be started unless the right rear seat S3 is returned to the first position. Therefore, the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4 can be arranged at appropriate positions while the vehicle C is traveling. can.

The driver X who notices that the shift lever 81 is locked urges the occupant Y to operate the seat movement switch 61R on the right side. When the occupant Y operates the seat movement switch 61R, the right rear seat S3 moves from the second position to the first position as shown in FIG. As a result, the condition of step S22 is satisfied, and the lock of the shift lever 81 is released.

After that, the driver X shifts the shift lever 81 from the parking position “P” to the drive position “D” and starts the vehicle C. If the occupant Y mistakenly operates the seat movement switches 61L and 61R while the vehicle C is traveling, it is determined as No in the process of step S32, so that the right rear seat S3 is determined while the vehicle C is traveling. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the left rear seat S4 from moving to the second position.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be appropriately modified and carried out as shown in the following other embodiments.

In the above embodiment, it is decided to restrict the sliding door DL from closing when the first condition and the second condition are satisfied, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only the first condition is satisfied. In addition, the sliding door DL may be restricted from closing. Specifically, the ECU 100 may execute the door lock control according to the flowchart according to the first modification shown in FIG. Here, the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 is obtained by deleting step S13 from the flowchart shown in FIG. Even in this case, since the slide door DL does not close if the first condition is satisfied, it is possible to prevent the slide door DL from coming into contact with the object placed on the left rear seat S4.

In the above embodiment, the lock mechanism 4L regulates the closing of the slide door DL, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the ECU 100 does not output a signal for operating the slide door DL to the slide mechanism 1L. May restrict the sliding door DL from closing. However, in the case of restricting by the lock mechanism 4L as in the above embodiment, since the sliding door DL can be mechanically locked, it is possible to satisfactorily restrict the closing of the sliding door DL. Similarly, the regulation of the movement of the shift lever 81 is not limited to the mechanical lock such as the shift lock mechanism 90, and may be controlled by the control means.

In the above embodiment, the sliding door DL is locked to the fully open state, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that the sliding door DL is restricted from closing. That is, for example, the movement of the slide door DL in the closing direction may be restricted before the slide door DL is completely closed.

In the above embodiment, the sliding door DL is exemplified as an example of the door, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a rotary door may be used.

In the above embodiment, the optical sensor is exemplified as the position detecting means and the opening / closing detecting means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other sensors such as a pressure sensor may be used.

In the above embodiment, the load sensor 7L is exemplified as the object detection means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other sensors such as an optical sensor may be used.

In the above embodiment, the ball screw mechanism 5L is exemplified as the seat moving device, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the seat moving device may include a spring that urges the seat from the second position to the first position and a lock member that locks the seat to the second position. That is, a seat moving device may be used in which the movement of the seat from the first position to the second position is performed manually, and the movement from the second position to the first position is performed by a spring. According to this, for example, in a situation where the first condition and the third condition are satisfied, when the door is operated, the lock member is unlocked by the control of the control means, so that the seat is placed in the second position. Can be moved from to the first position.

In the above embodiment, the movement of the left rear seat S4 to the second position during traveling is restricted by not outputting the signal for operating the left rear seat S4 from the ECU 100 to the ball screw mechanism 5L. It is not limited to this. For example, a lock member that locks the seat to the first position may be provided. According to this, when the shift lever is located in another position, the position of the seat is locked by the lock member, and when the shift lever is located in the parking position, the position of the seat is unlocked. By configuring the control means, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to both the right rear seat S3 and the left rear seat S4, but the present invention may be applied to only one of the left and right seats.

In the above embodiment, both the left and right slide doors DL and DR are electric, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one of the left and right slide doors may be electric, or both slides. The door may be manual. In this case, the present invention may be applied to a manual sliding door.

In the above embodiment, the sliding door DL is prevented from coming into contact with the luggage CB by restricting the closing of the sliding door DL, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the seat is placed in the second position to the first position. You may prevent the sliding door from coming into contact with the luggage by moving it to. Specifically, the ECU 100 may be configured to execute the seat movement control according to the second modification shown in FIG. 11 instead of the controls shown in FIGS. 3 and 5. Here, since the sheet movement control shown in FIG. 11 is a modification of a part of the sheet movement control shown in FIG. 5, the same reference numerals are given to the same processes, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the seat movement control shown in FIG. 11, when the ECU 100 determines that all the processes in steps S34 to S36 are Yes, the ECU 100 moves the left rear seat S4 to the first position (S40). That is, when the first condition that the slide door DL is open and the left rear seat S4 is located at the second position is satisfied, the ECU 100 moves from the open state to the closed state of the slide door DL. When the left rear seat S4 is operated to move, the left rear seat S4 is moved from the second position to the first position. Further, when the ECU 100 determines No in any of the processes of steps S34 to S36, the ECU 100 ends this control.

Further, in this second modification, the seat evacuation control shown in FIG. 12 is executed in the process (S40) of moving the left rear seat S4 from the second position to the first position. In the seat evacuation control, the ECU 100 first starts moving the left rear seat S4 from the second position to the first position (S41).

After step S41, the ECU 100 determines whether or not the left rear seat S4 has reached a predetermined position (S42). Here, in this second modification, the predetermined position is a position between the first position and the second position. The predetermined position may be any position other than the second position among the positions between the first position and the second position, and may be, for example, the first position.

Further, it can be determined whether or not the predetermined position has been reached, for example, by determining whether or not the elapsed time from the time when the movement of the left rear seat S4 is started has reached the predetermined time. The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a position sensor for detecting that the left rear seat S4 is positioned at a predetermined position may be provided, and the above determination may be made based on a signal from this position sensor.

If it is determined in step S42 that the predetermined position has been reached (Yes), the ECU 100 starts moving the slide door DL (S43). That is, when the left rear seat S4 is moved from the second position to the first position, the ECU 100 moves the slide door DL after the left rear seat S4 reaches a predetermined position. In other words, when the left rear seat S4 is moved from the second position to the first position, the ECU 100 starts moving the left rear seat S4 before moving the slide door DL.

After step S43, the ECU 100 determines whether or not the left rear seat S4 has reached the first position (S44). If it is determined in step S44 that the first position has been reached (Yes), the ECU 100 stops the movement of the left rear seat S4 (S45).

After step S45, the ECU 100 determines whether or not the slide door DL is closed based on the signal from the closing sensor 3L (S46). If it is determined in step S46 that the slide door DL is closed (Yes), the ECU 100 stops the movement of the slide door DL (S47) and ends this control.

According to this second modification, the operation of closing the slide door DL is performed when the slide door DL is open and the left rear seat S4 is located at the second position, that is, a position near the slide door DL. Then, since the left rear seat S4 is moved from the second position to the first position by the ECU 100, it is possible to prevent the slide door DL from coming into contact with the luggage CB on the left rear seat S4 moved to the vicinity of the slide door DL. can.

Further, the movement of the left rear seat S4 is started before the slide door DL is moved. Specifically, since the slide door DL is moved after the left rear seat S4 reaches a predetermined position, the left rear seat moved to the vicinity of the slide door DL. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the slide door DL from coming into contact with the luggage CB on the rear seat S4.

The sheet evacuation control described above may be executed in the embodiment. Specifically, in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the process of step S40 may be provided instead of the process of step S38.

In the seat movement control shown in FIG. 11, when the first condition is satisfied and the slide door DL is operated to move from the open state to the closed state, the left rear seat S4 is moved from the second position. Although it has been moved to the first position, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the ECU 100 changes from an open state to a closed state of the slide door DL when the first condition and the second condition such that an object is placed on the seat surface are satisfied. When operated to move toward, the left rear seat S4 may be configured to move from the second position to the first position. Specifically, the sheet movement control shown in FIG. 13 includes the processes of steps S31 to S36 and S40 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, and a new step S39 is provided between the steps S36 and S40.

When the ECU 100 determines Yes in step S36, it determines whether an ON signal is output from the load sensor 71L, that is, whether or not an object is placed on the seat surface of the left rear seat S4 (S39). After step S39, the ECU 100 executes the process of step S40. Also in this third modification, it is possible to prevent the slide door DL from coming into contact with the luggage CB on the left rear seat S4 moved to the vicinity of the slide door DL.

Further, each element described in the above-described embodiment and modification may be arbitrarily combined and carried out.
