Hereinafter, the door opening/closing device according to the present embodiment will be described by exemplifying the vehicle door opening/closing device 1 . Here, FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the control configuration of the vehicle door opening/closing device 1. As shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the door handle device 10 provided on the sliding door 2. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, (a) is a front view of the appearance of the door handle device 10, and (b) is a schematic cross-sectional view of the door handle device 10. As shown in FIG.

A vehicle door opening/closing device 1 is a device for controlling opening and closing of a slide door 2 installed in a vehicle. The sliding door 2 is supported on the side surface of the vehicle body, and opens and closes a door opening provided on the side surface of the vehicle body by moving in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The slide door 2 is fully closed when positioned at the most forward position, and is fully opened when positioned at the most rearward position. A sliding door 2 is provided with a door lock device 3 . The door lock device 3 is a device that keeps the slide door 2 in a locked state. On the other hand, in the unlocked state, the slide door 2 can be moved in the opening direction.

The vehicle door opening/closing device 1 mainly includes a door handle device 10 , a sensor input section 40 , an authentication section 50 , a lock drive section 60 , a door drive section 70 and a door control section 80 .

The door handle device 10 is arranged on the sliding door 2 . A door handle device 10 according to this embodiment is a door outside handle device arranged outside the slide door 2 . The door handle device 10 has a handle base 11 fixed to the slide door 2 and an operation handle 12 connected to the handle base 11, and is assembled to the slide door 2 in a posture along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

The operating handle 12 has a shape extending longitudinally along the vehicle front-rear direction. A grip portion 12 a for gripping the operating handle 12 by the user is provided in the central portion of the operating handle 12 . The grip portion 12a is separated from the outer surface of the sliding door 2 so as to form a space for inserting the hand. As one of the features of the present embodiment, the operating handle 12 functions as an operating section for the user to perform a contact operation on the surface of the operating handle 12 when opening and closing the sliding door 2 . However, the operating handle 12 also has a general handle function, and also functions as an operating section for the user to hold the operating handle 12 and rotate it when opening and closing the sliding door 2 .

The operating handle 12 is constructed by fitting together a front cover 13 forming its front surface and a rear cover 14 forming its rear surface. A hollow portion 12 b is formed between the front cover 13 and the back cover 14 . The front cover 13 and the back cover 14 are made of, for example, a synthetic resin material in order to reduce weight and enable wireless communication using an antenna 30, which will be described later.

The door handle device 10 further comprises two capacitive sensors 20, an antenna 30 and the like. The two capacitive sensors 20, the antenna 30, and the like are housed in the hollow portion 12b of the operating handle 12. As shown in FIG. These electronic components are electrically connected to a harness for external connection, and the harness is pulled out from the operating handle 12 and connected to the vehicle.

The two capacitive sensors 20 detect the user's contact state (including approaching state) to the operating handle 12 . These capacitance sensors 20 are mounted on the back cover 14 and arranged on the back side of the front cover 13 . In this embodiment, a swipe operation of tracing the shape of the operation handle 12 (front cover 13) with a finger along the longitudinal direction of the operation handle 12 is adopted as one of the user operations. The two capacitive sensors 20 are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the operation handle 12 to detect the swipe operation and its direction.

Each capacitive sensor 20 is mainly composed of a sensor electrode 21 and a control board 22 .

The sensor electrode 21 detects a change in capacitance in response to human contact with the operating handle 12 . An insulating spacer 24 is provided between the sensor electrode 21 and the back cover 14 . The sensor electrode 21 is connected to the control board 22 and is applied with a driving voltage at a predetermined cycle.

The control board 22 detects the contact state of the user with respect to the operating handle 12 based on the change in capacitance of the sensor electrode 21 . Information detected by the control board 22 is output to the sensor input section 40 .

The antenna 30 communicates with the portable device K owned by the user.

The sensor input section 40 is connected to the capacitance sensor 20 and monitors the output from the capacitance sensor 20 . When there is an output from the capacitance sensor 20 , the sensor input section 40 outputs this to the door control section 80 .

Authentication unit 50 is connected to antenna 30 and operates under the control of door control unit 80 . The authentication unit 50 can communicate with the portable device K possessed by the user via the antenna 30 . Upon receiving the unique ID information transmitted from the portable device K, the authentication unit 50 collates this ID information with an ID stored in advance (authentication processing). If the two match, the authentication unit 50 outputs to the door control unit 80 information indicating that the authentication is established. This authentication operation is triggered by reception of ID information transmitted from the mobile device K when the user operates a switch on the mobile device K. FIG. Alternatively, when ID information transmitted from the mobile device K in response to an ID request signal transmitted from the authentication unit 50 via the antenna 30 is received, the reception of the ID information may be used as a trigger.

The lock drive unit 60 is connected to the door lock device 3 and operates under the control of the door control unit 80 . The lock drive unit 60 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state by driving the door lock device 3 .

The door drive unit 70 includes an actuator such as a motor and a drive mechanism such as a drive cable. The door drive unit 70 transmits the driving force generated by the actuator to the slide door 2 via the drive mechanism, thereby moving the slide door 2 in the opening direction or the closing direction.

The door control unit 80 comprehensively controls the vehicle door opening/closing device 1 . The door control unit 80 controls the lock driving unit 60 and the door driving unit 70 based on information input from the capacitance sensor 20 via the sensor input unit 40 and information input from the authentication unit 50. to control the opening and closing of the slide door 2 . A microcomputer mainly composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I/O interface can be used as the door control unit 80 .

Hereinafter, the control concept of the vehicle door opening/closing device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . 3A is an explanatory diagram showing a swipe operation on the operating handle 12, and FIG. 3B is an explanatory diagram showing a tapping operation on the operating handle 12. FIG. In this embodiment, opening and closing of the slide door 2 is realized by swiping the surface of the operation handle 12 according to the opening and closing direction of the slide door 2 .

For example, if the slide door 2 is to be moved in the closing direction, the operation handle 12 is swiped in the closing direction of the slide door 2 . When a swipe operation is performed in the closing direction of the slide door 2, the user's finger moves forward on the surface of the operation handle 12 from the rear. At this time, the user's finger passes through the two capacitive sensors 20 in turn. Therefore, after the user's contact is detected by the rear-side capacitive sensor 20, the front-side capacitive sensor 20 detects the user's contact. Therefore, by monitoring the sensor outputs of the two capacitive sensors 20, it is possible to detect a rear-to-front swipe operation on the operation handle 12 from these detection results.

On the other hand, if the slide door 2 is to be moved in the opening direction, the operation handle 12 is swiped in the opening direction of the slide door 2 . When a swipe operation is performed in the opening direction of the slide door 2, the user's finger moves from front to back on the surface of the operation handle 12. FIG. In this case, the user's contact is detected by the rear-side capacitive sensor 20 after the user's contact is detected by the front-side capacitive sensor 20 . Therefore, by monitoring the sensor outputs of the two capacitive sensors 20, it is possible to detect a front-to-back swipe operation on the operation handle 12 from these detection results.

By the way, when the user passes by the side of the vehicle, or when another person passes by the side of the vehicle while the user is near the vehicle (that is, in a state where authentication is established), the arm, etc. may touch the operating handle 12 unintentionally. Therefore, there is a possibility that the two capacitive sensors 20 continuously detect the user's contact. In this case, the door control unit 80 erroneously detects the outputs of these two capacitive sensors 20 as a swipe operation.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to suppress such erroneous detection, the user is requested to perform a tap operation to confirm the swipe operation after the swipe operation. This is because even if a user or other person passes by the side of the vehicle, even if a reaction similar to a swipe operation appears, as long as the user or other person passes the vehicle, the capacitance This is because the sensor 20 does not react. Therefore, by using the tap operation as the intention of the user who performs the swipe operation, a true swipe operation and a reaction similar to the swipe operation are separated.

In addition, in this embodiment, it is also required that the hand be removed from the operation handle 12 for a certain period of time or longer before the swipe operation transitions to the tap operation. This request makes it possible to distinguish whether a series of actions from swiping to tapping (or sensor output similar to these actions) occurred accidentally or was deterministically performed based on the user's intention. It is assumed that

As described above, the door control unit 80 according to the present embodiment determines the validity of the user's operation by a two-stage operation consisting of a swipe operation and a tap operation. Specifically, on condition that a swipe operation and a tap operation are detected, the door control unit 80 determines the swipe operation as the user operation. Then, the door control section 80 controls the door drive section 70 based on the confirmed user operation to open and close the slide door 2 .

Next, the opening/closing operation of the slide door 2 by the vehicle door opening/closing device 1 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the flow of the opening/closing operation of the slide door 2 by the vehicle door opening/closing device 1. As shown in FIG. The processing shown in this flowchart is executed by the door control unit 80 .

First, in step S<b>10 , the door control unit 80 waits for inputs from the two capacitance sensors 20 . If there is an input from one of the capacitance sensors 20, the standby process is terminated and the process proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, the door control unit 80 determines whether or not a swipe operation has been performed. After the user's contact is detected in the rear-side capacitive sensor 20, the user's contact is detected in the front-side capacitive sensor 20, and when these detections are continuously performed, the rear It means that a swipe operation from to the front was performed. On the contrary, after the user's contact is detected by the front-side capacitive sensor 20, the user's contact is detected by the rear-side capacitive sensor 20, and these detections are continuously performed. , it means that a front-to-back swipe operation was performed. The door control unit 80 monitors the sensor outputs of the two capacitive sensors 20 and makes a determination in step S11.

If the swipe operation has been performed, an affirmative determination is made in step S11, and the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, if a user operation other than the swipe operation is performed, a negative determination is made in step S11, and the process returns to step S10.

In step S12, the door control unit 80 stores the direction of the swipe operation.

In step S13, the door control unit 80 stores the number of user operations. When the swipe operation is detected for the first time, the number of operations is stored as the first operation in step S13.

At step S14, the door control unit 80 starts a timer.

In step S15, the door control unit 80 refers to the count value of the timer and determines whether or not the count value exceeds the valid operation time. This effective operation time is the upper limit of time for judging that the swipe operation and the tap operation are performed within a certain period of time, and that these operations are performed in a series of user actions. Optimal values are preset through simulation. This valid operation time is set to be longer than an operation transition time, which will be described later.

When the count value of the timer exceeds the effective operation time, an affirmative determination is made in step S15, and the process proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, if the count value of the timer does not exceed the valid operation time, a negative determination is made in step S15, and the process proceeds to step S17.

In step S16, the door control unit 80 resets the stored swipe operation direction, the number of user operations, and the count value of the timer. Then, the process returns to step S10.

In step S17, the door control unit 80 determines whether or not a tap operation has been performed. When the user taps the front side of the operating handle 12, the front capacitance sensor 20 detects the user's contact for a certain period of time. Similarly, when the user taps the rear side of the operating handle 12, the user's contact is detected by the rear-side capacitance sensor 20 for a certain period of time. Alternatively, when the user taps the center of the operating handle 12, the user's contact is simultaneously detected by the front-side capacitance sensor 20 and the rear-side capacitance sensor 20 for a certain period of time. The door control unit 80 monitors sensor outputs of the two capacitive sensors 20 and determines whether or not a tap operation has been performed.

If the tap operation has been performed, an affirmative determination is made in step S17, and the process proceeds to step S18. On the other hand, if a user operation other than a tap operation has been performed, a negative determination is made in step S17, and the process returns to step S15.

In step S18, the door control unit 80 refers to the count value of the timer and determines whether or not the count value has exceeded the operation transition time. This operation transition time is a judgment time for judging whether or not the hand is away from the operation handle 12 for a certain period of time or longer before the swipe operation transitions to the tap operation.

When the count value of the timer exceeds the operation transition time, an affirmative determination is made in step S18, and the process proceeds to step S19. On the other hand, if the count value of the timer does not exceed the operation transition time, a negative determination is made in step S18, and the process proceeds to step S16.

In step S19, the door control unit 80 confirms the swipe operation determined in step S11 as the user operation.

In step S20, the door control unit 80 determines whether or not the direction of the swipe operation satisfies a prohibited condition. For example, when the sliding door 2 is fully closed, the sliding door 2 cannot be moved in the closing direction. Therefore, when the slide door 2 is fully closed, a swipe operation in the closing direction, that is, a swipe operation from back to front is prohibited. Similarly, when the sliding door 2 is fully open, the sliding door 2 cannot be moved in the opening direction. Therefore, when the slide door 2 is fully open, a swipe operation in the opening direction, that is, a swipe operation from front to back is prohibited. Therefore, the door control unit 80 determines whether or not the prohibition condition is satisfied based on the state of the sliding door 2 and the direction of the swipe operation.

If the determination in step S20 is affirmative, that is, if the direction of the swipe operation satisfies the prohibition condition, the process proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S20, that is, if the direction of the swipe operation does not satisfy the prohibition condition, the process proceeds to step S21.

In step S21, the door control section 80 controls the door driving section 70 based on the direction of the swipe operation. As a result, the sliding door 2 is driven by the door driving section 70, and the sliding door 2 is moved in the direction of the swipe operation. For example, when a rear-to-front swipe operation is performed, the door control unit 80 determines that there is a swipe operation in the closing direction, and moves the slide door 2 in the closing direction. On the other hand, when a front-to-back swipe operation is performed, the door control unit 80 determines that there is a swipe operation in the opening direction, and moves the slide door 2 in the opening direction.

In step S22, the door control unit 80 monitors the sensor outputs of the two capacitance sensors 20 and determines whether or not the operation handle 12 has been operated by the user. The determination in step S22 applies to all user operations including non-swipe operations regardless of swipe operations.

If the determination in step S22 is affirmative, that is, if the user operates the operating handle 12, the process proceeds to step S23. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S22, that is, if the operating handle 12 is not operated by the user, the process proceeds to step S24.

In step S23, the door control unit 80 controls the door driving unit 70 to stop the slide door 2.

In step S24, the door control unit 80 determines whether or not the slide door 2 is fully closed or fully opened. Specifically, when the sliding door 2 moving in the closing direction is fully closed, or when the sliding door 2 moving in the opening direction is fully opened, an affirmative determination is made in step S24. Exit the routine. On the other hand, if the slide door 2 is not fully closed or fully opened, a negative determination is made in step S24, and the process returns to step S22.

Through such a series of processes, the door control unit 80 controls the opening and closing of the slide door 2 .

It should be noted that the above description of the flow chart is based on the premise that the door lock device 3 is in the unlocked state when the slide door 2 is fully closed at the start of the process. However, even when the sliding door 2 is in the locked state, the flow of processing is basically the same, but the difference is that the following processing is added. Specifically, after completing the standby process (step S10), the door control unit 80 controls the authentication unit 50 to perform authentication processing, and after the authentication is established, the process proceeds to step S11 and subsequent steps. Further, in step S21, the door control unit 80 controls the lock driving unit 60 to switch the door lock device 3 to the unlocked state prior to the control of the door driving unit 70. FIG.

Further, when the slide door 2 is fully closed, the door lock device 3 can be switched to the locked state by operating the switch of the portable device K or the request switch mounted on the door handle device 10. can.

Further, the process shown in the above flowchart is not limited to the case where the slide door 2 is fully closed or fully open at the start of the process, and the slide door 2 is stopped at any position between the fully closed and fully open at the start of the process. It is applicable even when the door is half-open. When the door is half-open, the sliding door 2 can move in either direction, so the processing in step S20 does not satisfy any prohibition condition regardless of the direction of the swipe operation.

Thus, in this embodiment, the vehicle door opening/closing device 1 controls the opening/closing of the slide door 2 based on the user's operation by touching the operation handle 12 . The vehicle door opening/closing device 1 includes a detection unit that detects a contact state of the user with respect to the operation handle 12, a door driving unit 70 that drives the sliding door 2 to open and close, and a swipe operation and a tap operation that are detected by the detection units. provided that the swipe operation is determined as a user operation. Then, the door control unit 80 controls the door driving unit 70 based on the confirmed user operation to open and close the slide door 2 .

According to this configuration, by requesting a two-step operation consisting of a swipe operation and a tap operation for confirming the swipe operation, it is possible to appropriately determine the validity of the user's operation. Therefore, when a user or another person passes by the side of the vehicle, even if an arm or the like touches the operation handle 12 unintentionally and a sensor output similar to a swipe operation is generated, this is regarded as a swipe operation. False detection is suppressed. This makes it possible to provide a highly reliable system.

Note that, in the present embodiment, after the swipe operation, a tap operation is performed to confirm the swipe operation. However, this order may be reversed. That is, the legitimacy of the swipe operation may be determined on the condition that the tap operation for confirming the swipe operation and the subsequent swipe operation are performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the tap operation of tapping the surface of the operating handle 12 is exemplified as the user operation (second operation) for confirming the swipe operation (first operation with direction). However, the second operation is not limited to the tap operation, and may be various operations such as a swipe operation in the same direction and a double tap operation.

The second operation may be a simple tapping operation, or may be a tapping operation limited to a specific position on the operating handle 12 (the front end of the handle, the rear end of the handle, the center of the handle, or the like). For example, a tap operation at the end of the handle that exists on the opposite side of the direction of the first operation is treated as a valid second operation. Normally, when a user or other person passes by the side of the vehicle, the direction of passage is only one direction. Therefore, since the execution position of the second operation is in the direction opposite to the direction of the first operation, it is possible to appropriately separate the mere passage of the human body from the second operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, the door control unit 80 detects a swipe operation and a tap operation, and the interval between the swipe operation and the tap operation is equal to or longer than the operation transition time (predetermined determination time). The swipe action is confirmed as a user action.

According to this configuration, the user is requested to release the hand from the operation handle 12 for a certain period of time or longer before the swipe operation transitions to the tap operation. This makes it possible to distinguish whether a series of actions from swiping to tapping occurred accidentally or was performed intentionally by the user. As a result, erroneous detection can be suppressed, so a highly reliable system can be provided.

In order to make the user aware of this operation transition time, a process of outputting an alarm sound during the operation transition time or outputting an alarm sound when the operation transition time elapses may be added. As a result, it is possible to guide the timing of shifting from the swipe operation to the tap operation, so it is possible to provide a user-friendly system.

Also, in this embodiment, the detection unit is composed of two capacitance sensors 20 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the operation handle 12 .

According to this configuration, it is possible to appropriately detect a swipe operation involving a direction. It should be noted that three or more capacitance sensors 20 may be provided as long as they can detect a swipe operation. Alternatively, a single capacitive sensor 20 may be used as long as the swipe operation and its direction can be detected.

Although the door opening/closing device according to the present embodiment has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the door opening/closing device may be applied not only to a vehicle sliding door but also to a sliding door installed in a building or facility.

Further, the operation detection device that functions as part of the door opening/closing device also functions as part of the present invention. That is, the operation detection device detects a user operation performed by touching the operation unit, and is provided in the operation unit. and a control unit that determines the first operation as a user operation on condition that a first operation accompanied by and a second operation different from the first operation are detected.

In addition, in the door opening/closing device and the operation detection device, the operation portion may be not only an operation handle that serves as a handle when opening and closing the door, but also a dedicated portion for performing only contact operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, a swipe operation involving a linear movement has been described. Not limited. For example, when the operation part has an L-shaped curved shape, the operation of moving the finger in any direction along the shape of the operation part is also applicable.
