2. Description of the Related Art As an electric opening / closing device for a vehicle window in which an opening / closing mechanism for a window glass of a vehicle is driven by an electric motor, for example, one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-57512 is known. In this conventional technique, the switch of the motor control circuit is operated via two flip-flops.
Each relay is energized so that the motor rotates in the direction to open or close the window glass, and the flip-flop is immediately reset when the voltage drop due to the current passing through the relay becomes a predetermined value or more. To prevent damage to the motor due to overcurrent.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, once the opening or closing is commanded,
A window in a specific seat, equipped with a switch for automatic opening and closing that continues the opening or closing operation without further commands until it is in a fully opened or fully closed state,
For example, the automatic opening / closing operation can be performed only in the driver's seat, and with the switches for manual operation installed in other seats, the electric motor can be rotated only while the switch is being pressed, so the window glass must be fully opened. Alternatively, in order to bring it into the fully closed state, it is necessary to keep pressing the switch until the state is reached, which is troublesome and inconvenient.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and when a person other than a particular seat wants to open and close the window glass, it happens to be a person in the particular seat, for example, the driver's seat. If you press the automatic opening / closing switch because you want to move the window glass in the same way, a person in a seat other than a specific seat, such as a person in the back seat, must continue to press the switch for the manual opening / closing operation. The challenge is to be able to escape the trouble.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention relates to an electric opening / closing device for a vehicle window in which an electric motor drives an opening / closing mechanism for a window glass via a control circuit. , Once opened or closed, until fully open or closed, respectively.
A first switch for automatic opening and closing which continues the opening or closing operation without any subsequent command;
A second switch for manually opening and closing the opening and closing operations, respectively, only while the switch is closed, and for the control circuit for seats other than the specific seat, the same function as above. When the switch for manual opening or closing of seats other than the specific seat is closed, the control circuit firstly opens the window of the specific seat automatically or Check whether the seats are closed automatically, and if the operation commanded in the seats other than the specific seat matches the automatic motion commanded in the specific seats, the switches for the seats other than the specific seats should be operated manually. In spite of this, the electric motors of the seats other than the specific seats are controlled so as to continue the automatic operation until the seats are fully opened or fully closed, and when the command operation of both seats is opposite, Switch for seats other than specific seats And to operate the motor for a period is closed as normal switch for manual.

[0006]

[Function] Usually, a person in the same vehicle often feels the same, such as when it is hot or cold, or when he wants to change the air inside the vehicle by putting in the outside air, and the driver opens the window glass. Sometimes people in the backseat who watched the game try to imitate it. By taking the above-mentioned means according to the present invention, it is very convenient because a person sitting in a specific seat, for example, a seat other than the driver's seat, does not have to perform the above-mentioned actions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention applied to a two-seat vehicle.
It is a figure explaining an Example. Reference numeral 1 denotes an opening / closing operation switch for opening / closing the window glass of the driver's seat, which includes a movable contact 2 that is manually switched and fixed contacts 3 to 6 for switching. The fixed contact 3 is for automatic closing, the fixed contact 4 is for manual closing, the fixed contact 5 is for manual opening, and the fixed contact 6 is for automatic opening. When the movable contact 2 is connected to any of these fixed contacts, the window of the fixed contact 4 or 5 is opened or closed only while the fixed contact 4 or 5 is connected,
In addition, even if the movable contact 2 is once connected to the fixed contact 3 or 6 and then the connection with the movable contact 2 is released, the opening / closing operation of the window is continued until the fully opened or fully closed state. Numeral 7 is an opening / closing operation switch which is installed in a seat other than the driver's seat, that is, in the front passenger seat, for opening / closing the front passenger window.
There is no fixed contact for automatic opening and closing, and it is composed of the movable contact 8 and the fixed contacts 9, 10. The fixed contact 9 is for manual closing, and the fixed contact 10 is for manual opening. 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes a switch input unit, and when input from the opening / closing operation switch 1 or 7, switch signals corresponding to the values are output to the output control unit 13 through the switch signal line 12. The output control unit 13 inputs the switch signal from the switch signal line 12, and according to the value, the power window motor 14
Or 15 is supplied with power, the rotation state of the power window motor 14 or 15 is monitored, and the fully open or fully closed state of the window is detected. When the fully open or fully closed state is detected, the power window is closed. The power supply to the dor motor 14 or 15 is stopped. Further, the output control unit 13 detects and confirms whether the power window motor 14 or 15 is in the automatic opening / closing operation, and at the same time, the switch signal line 12
It is determined whether or not the switch signal from is a signal requesting rotation in the same direction as the rotation of the power window motor during the automatic opening / closing operation, and the power window motor 14 or 15 is controlled according to the determination result. The opening / closing operation switch 1 and the power window motor 14 are installed in the driver's seat window, and the opening / closing operation switch 7 and the power window motor 15 are installed in the passenger seat window. Normally, for example, when the movable contact 2 is connected to the fixed contact 5 for manual opening, the switch input section 11 detects an ON signal and outputs a manual opening signal for the driver's seat window to the switch signal line 12. When the manual opening signal of the driver's seat window is input, the output control unit 13 outputs to the power window motor 14 so that the motor rotates in the opening direction of the window while the signal is input. When the movable contact 2 is connected to the fixed contact 6 for automatic opening, the switch input section 11 detects an ON signal and outputs an automatic opening signal for the driver's seat window to the switch signal line 12. When the automatic opening signal of the driver's seat window is input, the output control unit 13 then outputs the window to the power window motor 14 until it detects that the driver's seat window is fully opened, even if the driver's seat window opening signal is not input. Output so that the motor rotates in the opening direction. Next, when the movable contact 8 is connected to the fixed contact 10 for manual opening during the automatic opening operation of the power window motor 14 by the switch operation, the switch input unit 11 detects the ON signal, and the switch signal line is detected. A manual opening signal for the passenger seat window is output to 12. When the output control unit 13 inputs a manual opening signal for the passenger seat window, the output control unit 13 enters processing 100 of the flowchart shown in FIG. When the process 200 is performed by the signal detection, it is determined whether the input switch is the automatic opening / closing switch or the manual opening / closing switch. Since the manual open / close switch is turned on here, the process proceeds to step 300, where it is next determined whether or not there is a power window motor in the automatic open / close operation.
Here, since the power window motor 14 for the driver's seat window is in the automatic opening operation, the process goes to step 400. Process 400
Then, it is determined whether or not the request for the switch input signal detected in the process 100 is in the same rotation direction as the rotation direction of the power window motor during the automatic opening / closing operation. Here, it is required to manually open the passenger seat window, and the request is for the same rotation direction as the power window motor 14 for the driver seat window that is being automatically opened. The window motor 15 also performs the automatic opening operation. Further, according to the above, when the movable contact 8 is turned on to the fixed contact 9 for manual closing during the automatic opening / closing operation of the power window motor 15, it is determined in the process 400 that the same rotation direction is not required. ,
Going to process 800, the automatic opening operation of the power window motor 15 is stopped, and the switch input signal detected in process 100, that is, the power window motor 1 for the passenger seat window.
In response to the manual closing request of No. 5, the manual closing operation of the power window motor 15 is executed.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the assumption of a four-door vehicle. Compared with the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the opening / closing operation switch 16 for the right rear seat window, the power window motor 34, and the opening / closing operation for the left rear seat window. Switch 20 and power window motor 35,
Further, an opening / closing operation switch 24 is provided in which the opening / closing operation switches for the passenger seat, the rear seat right window, and the rear seat left window are centralized in one place. The operation when each switch is requested is the same as in the first embodiment. It is similar to the case.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, the means for detecting and confirming that the motor is in the automatic opening / closing operation is provided, and the switch request of the other window is the same as the rotation of the motor in the automatic opening / closing operation. Since a structure is provided to determine whether or not a direction rotation request is made, even if a window without an automatic opening / closing request switch is in the automatic opening / closing operation, the power in the automatic opening / closing operation remains The effect that automatic opening and closing can be performed in the same rotation direction as the window motor is obtained.
