Then, the inoperative position detection switch (SW7) is activated, the return relay (113) is deenergized, and the motor (61) is stopped.

The closing operation of the door (2) is not directly related to the present invention, but will be briefly described as follows.

Manually move the door (2) through the half open position, half latch position,
That is, when the latch (14) contacts the striker (13) and closes to the position of the door (2) when it is rotated to the half-latch position, the locking rod ( 82), the inclined surface (82a) of the engaging plate (8a)
By contacting the upper edge of the outer end of 7) and climbing up, the spring (87) is once lifted against the downward biasing force, and then the engaging hole (86) is engaged, and then the inclined surface (82a). Slides along the upper edge of the inner end of the engagement hole (86) and rides on the upper surface of the engagement plate (87) again.

During that time, the door range detection switch (SW9) is operated, but it does not affect the operation of the motors (26) and (61).

When the door (2) and the latch (14) reach the half-latch position, the half-latch detection switch (SW3) is activated, and the closure relay (111) causes the motor (26).
Is energized as indicated by the broken line in the drawing, the rotating plate (29) is rotated clockwise in FIG. 1, and the closing device (B
-2) is activated.

Due to the operation of the closing device (B-2), the door (2) is forcibly closed from the half-latch position to the fully closed position.

When the door (2) reaches the fully closed position and the latch (14) reaches the fully latched position, the full latch detection switch (SW4) is actuated, the closure relay (111) is deenergized, and the latch release relay ( 110) is energized, and a current flows through the motor (26) in the direction indicated by the solid line in FIG.

As a result, the rotating plate (29) is returned and rotated in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 1, and when it reaches the neutral position, the neutral detection switch (SW6) operates and the motor (26) is stopped. The entire device returns to the original state when the door (2) is fully closed.

Other operations are not directly related to the present invention, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.
