Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle control device, and more particularly, in an automatic transmission type, the shift is shifted from a position other than the "P" position to the "P" position, or the shift is changed from the "P" position to the "P" position. "The electric retractable door mirror and the door lock mechanism are designed to operate automatically by using the signal when moving to another position other than the position.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a conventional vehicle, an electric retractable door mirror is provided or a door lock mechanism is provided. The electric retractable mirrors described above can be placed in a functional state (opened) or stored (folded) by operating a mirror storage switch installed at an appropriate location in the vehicle. With regard to the door lock mechanism, a signal from a vehicle speed sensor mounted on the vehicle is used to automatically set the door lock state or release the door lock state.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned conventional configuration has the following problems. First of all, with regard to the electric retractable mirror, it was necessary to operate the switch each time, which complicated the work. In particular, when parking in a parking lot or the like, the mirror was often stored to prevent interference with other vehicles, which was troublesome. Regarding the door lock mechanism, if you try to do this automatically, there is no problem if the vehicle has a vehicle speed sensor, but if you do not have a vehicle speed sensor, you must install a vehicle speed sensor separately. There was a problem that it had to be.

The present invention has been made on the basis of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to automatically open and close the electric retractable mirror without adding a large-scale device. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle control device that can realize an automatic door lock mechanism without separately mounting it.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle control device according to the present invention comprises a detecting means for detecting whether or not the shift of the automatic transmission is in the "P" position, and a mirror storing motor based on a signal from the detecting means. And at least one of the door lock motors is controlled to shift the shift to the “P” position by storing the mirror and unlocking the door when the shift shifts from a position other than the “P” position to the “P” position. To a position other than the “P” position, the control means for expanding the mirror or locking the door is provided. At that time, it is conceivable to provide a canceling means to cancel the control based on the detection signal of the detecting means.

[0006]

[Action]

 The vehicle control device according to the present invention is configured to drive and control the electric retractable mirror and the door lock mechanism by detecting whether or not the shift of the automatic transmission is in the "P" position. is there. That is, in an automatic transmission type vehicle, if the shift interlock mechanism is installed and the shift is in a position other than the "P" position, the engine cannot be turned on and the engine cannot be turned on. Even after it is turned off, the ignition key cannot be removed from the cylinder if the shift is in a position other than the "P" position. In other words, the operation needs to be performed via the “P” position when the vehicle shifts from the parked state to the traveling state and vice versa. In consideration of this point, the present invention is configured to drive and control the electric retractable mirror and the door lock mechanism by detecting whether or not the shift is in the "P" position as described above. is there.

Specifically, when the shift shifts from a position other than the “P” position to the “P” position, the mirror is stored and the door lock is released. Further, when the shift shifts from the "P" position to another position other than the "P" position, the mirror is opened and the door is locked. The configuration is not necessarily limited to controlling both the electrically retractable mirror and the door lock mechanism, but may be configured to control either one. Further, when the canceling means is provided, it becomes possible to appropriately cancel the control based on the detection signal from the detecting means.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, there is a "P" position switch 1 as a detection means. This "P" position switch 1 turns on when the shift is moved to the "P" position, and shifts to a position other than the "P" position. It will be turned off in some cases. ON / OFF of the "P" position switch 1 is detected by the rising pulse detection circuit 3 and the falling pulse detection circuit 5 of the control means 2, respectively. That is, when the vehicle is parked, the shift is in the "P" position and therefore the "P" position switch 1 is in the off state. When starting traveling from that state, the shift shifts from the "P" position to another position, whereby the "P" position switch 1 is turned off. At the same time, the terminal portion "2" rises to the power supply voltage level, the rising pulse detection circuit 3 detects it, and the one-shot pulse generation circuit 7 generates a pulse for a fixed time.

On the other hand, when the vehicle is traveling, the shift is in a position other than the “P” position, and therefore the “P” position switch 1 is in the off state. When the vehicle is parked from that state, the shift shifts to the "P" position, whereby the "P" position switch 1 is turned on. This is detected by the falling pulse detection circuit 5, and the one-shot pulse generation circuit 9 generates a pulse for a fixed time.

The signals from the one-shot pulse generation circuits 7 and 9 are input to the logic circuit 11. The logic circuit 11 controls the mirror storage controller 15 via the transistor circuit 13 and the terminal portion “4” to input the signal from any of the one-shot pulse generation circuits 7 and 9 for mirror storage. Rotate the motor 17 forward / backward. As a result, a mirror (not shown) is expanded to the functional position or stored to the retracted position. Further, the signals from the one-shot pulse generation circuits 7 and 9 are input to the door lock controller 18 via the terminal portions "5" and "6", whereby the door lock motor 19 is controlled, The door is locked or unlocked.

A cancel switch 21 is provided, and by operating the cancel switch 21 as appropriate, shift shift to the “P” position position, or shift from the “P” position position to another position. The control by the signal indicating can be released. Further, when the "P" position indicator lamp 23 is provided and the shift is in the "P" position and the "P" position switch 1 is on, the fact is displayed by lighting it. It is like this. Further, the mirror storing controller 15 is connected to a mirror storing switch 25 which is conventionally installed. Incidentally, reference numerals 27, 29 and 31 in the drawing are transistor circuits.

The operation will be described based on the above configuration. First, the case where the vehicle is parked and the vehicle starts traveling from there will be described. When the vehicle is parked, the mirror is stored in the retracted position and the door lock state is released. Also, since the shift is in the "P" position, the "P" position switch 1 is in the ON state, and the "P" position indicator lamp 23 is on. If the shift is moved from the "P" position to a position other than the "P" position in order to start traveling in that state, the "P" position switch 1 turns from ON to OFF, and the pulse detection circuit 3 rises. Detected by. Then, a pulse signal is output from the one-shot pulse generation circuit 7 for a certain period of time.

The pulse signal from the one-shot pulse generation circuit 7 causes the logic circuit 11 to output a signal to the mirror storage controller 15 via the transistor circuit 13 and the terminal section “4”. Then, the mirror storage controller 15 drives the mirror storage motor 17 to expand the mirror to the functional position. Further, the pulse signal from the one-shot pulse generating circuit 7 is also input to the door lock controller 18 via the transistor circuit 29, whereby the door lock motor 19 is driven to enter the door lock state.

Next, a case where the vehicle is in a traveling state and is parked from there will be described. When the vehicle is running, the mirror is in the functional position and the door is locked. Also, since the shift is in a position other than the "P" position, the "P" position switch 1 is in the off state, and the "P" position indicator lamp 23 is off. When the shift is moved to the "P" position to park the vehicle in that state, the "P" position switch 1 is turned from off to on, which is detected by the falling pulse detection circuit 5. Then, the one-shot pulse generation circuit 9 outputs a pulse signal for a certain period of time.

The pulse signal from the one-shot pulse generation circuit 9 causes the logic circuit 11 to output a signal to the mirror storage controller 15 via the transistor circuit 13 and the terminal section “4”. The mirror storing controller 15 drives the mirror storing motor 17 to store the mirror in the retracted position. The pulse signal from the one-shot pulse generation circuit 9 is also input to the door lock controller 18 via the transistor circuit 31, whereby the door lock motor 19 is driven and the door lock state is released. When it is desired to stop the function as described above, the cancel switch 21 may be operated to stop the supply of circuit power from the circuit power supply unit 33.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, in the past, when the mirror was opened or stored, it was necessary to operate the mirror storing switch 25 each time, but in the case of the present embodiment, if the vehicle is run or parked, The mirror automatically expands and retracts. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the complicated operation which is conventionally required. The same applies to the door lock, and when the vehicle travels or is parked, the door is automatically locked or unlocked. Further, in order to realize such a function, a particularly large-scale device is not required, and it can be realized by an extremely simple circuit by using a signal which detects a shift position shift. It does not require sensors, etc.

Further, since the cancel switch 21 is provided, when the above function is unnecessary, it can be canceled. In particular, the mirror will be opened because it is running during the parking operation, but depending on the situation of the parking place, the parking method, etc., it may be desirable to store the mirror. In that case, operate the cancel switch 21. Then, the above function is canceled, and the mirror is stored by operating the switch 25 for storing the mirror.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, the relay circuit 41 is used in place of the transistor circuit 13 in the first embodiment, and the same effect can be obtained even with such a configuration.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This embodiment is applied to a mirror storing switch provided with a switch 25 for "unfolding" and a switch 25 for "folding" separately. That is, two transistor circuits 13 in the case of the first embodiment are provided, and when a pulse signal is output from the one-shot pulse generation circuit 9, the mirror storage controller 15 is connected via another transistor circuit 13. It is designed to function. That is, the transistor circuit 13 and the transistor circuit 13 which are different from each other are used for the case of expanding the mirror and the case of storing it. Even with this structure, the same effects as those of the first and second embodiments can be obtained.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, the relay circuits 41, 41 shown in the second embodiment are used instead of the transistor circuits 13, 13 in the configuration of the third embodiment. Therefore, the same effects as those of the first to third embodiments can be obtained.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the configurations of the detection means and the control means are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.
