Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a power supply capable of auto-down / auto-up operation of a power window for a seat other than the driver's seat together with the driver's seat power window by a driver's seat centralized operation switch unit installed in the driver's seat. It relates to a window control device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a power window control device having a one-touch automatic function on a power window of each seat door including a driver's seat, a centralized operation switch unit is installed near a driver's seat for a sedan vehicle, and a passenger seat is also provided. A self-operation switch is installed near each of the rear left and rear right seats, and from the driver's seat, the power window of the self-seat is operated manually or one-touch auto by operating the self-operation switch in the centralized operation switch unit. The remote control of the power window can be performed manually, and a manual or one-touch automatic operation of the power window of the own seat can be performed in each of the other seats by a self-operation switch.

[0003] For manual-one-touch automatic operation of each seat power window, a self-operation switch for each seat including the driver's seat can be operated in two stages. The automatic operation of up / down is selected by stepping / pressing two steps, and the one-touch automatic operation is started when the operation switch returns to the OFF position at the end of the operation. In many simple devices, only the driver's seat window operation switch has a two-stage operation mechanism, and the driver's seat operation switches installed in the other seats can be operated only manually.

[0004]

However, such a conventional power window control device does not have a specification in which a remote one-touch automatic operation of another seat can be performed from a driver's seat central operation switch unit. In order to enable remote one-touch automatic operation of the power window of the other seat, a switch mechanism that can perform two-stage operation must be incorporated in the other-seat operation switch in the centralized operation switch unit, resulting in a complicated structure and cost. There was a problem that becomes high. Further, it is practically difficult to simultaneously raise or lower the power windows of the own seat and the other seat at the same time by one-touch auto, and it is necessary to prepare another simultaneous operation switch for the simultaneous operation.

[0005] By the way, assuming that it is necessary to raise or lower the door window of the other seat from the driver's seat by one-touch automatic operation in the car, if it is found that the driver forgets to close the window of the other seat when parking,
All seats, including the driver's seat, when there is a change in the weather (sudden rain), such as when rain suddenly starts, or when there is a change in the environment, such as when entering a tunnel filled with exhaust gas. In most cases, the power windows need to be simultaneously moved up and closed. Also, when it is necessary to open the window of another seat from the driver's seat with one-touch automatic operation, it is also necessary to replace the air in the car after ventilation or leaving it in the hot sun, in which case the driver's seat was also included It is necessary to open windows by moving down the windows of all seats at once.

Therefore, when it is necessary to raise or lower the power window of the other seat from the driver's seat by one-touch automatic operation, it is often possible to substitute all the seats for simultaneous power up or down.

The present invention has been made based on such considerations, and the power window centralized operation switch unit installed near the driver's seat has the same specifications as the conventional one. One-touch auto-up / all power windows for all seats simultaneously

In the power window control device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the driver's window raising / lowering operation switch in the centralized operation switch unit installed near the driver's seat is operated to the one-touch auto position in the down direction or the up direction. At the same time, a command to automatically operate the driver's seat window in the down direction or the up direction is given to the power window driving means, and any other seat window elevating operation switch is operated in the same direction during the auto down or auto up driving of the driver's seat window. In response to this, a command is issued to the power window drive means to automatically drive the corresponding other window in the same direction as the driver's window in the same direction as the driver's window. .

Therefore, without changing the mechanical structure of the centralized operation switch unit conventionally installed in the driver's seat, one-touch automatic operation of the driver's window up / down operation switch can be used to operate any other-seat window operation switch. By simply doing so, one-touch automatic up or down operation of any other seat window can be performed simultaneously with the driver's seat window.

[0015]

According to the power window control device of the first aspect of the present invention, the mechanical structure of the centralized operation switch unit conventionally installed in the driver's seat is not changed.
By simply repeating the one-touch automatic operation of the driver's seat window raising / lowering operation switch, the power windows of all the seats can be simultaneously operated by one-touch automatic up or down operation.

During the one-touch auto-up operation of the driver's seat power window, any one of the other-seat power window operation switches 21 to 23 (in the following description, the passenger seat power window operation switch 21 is used in the same manner as described above). However, the same applies to the one-touch automatic operation of the other power window of the other seat.) At timing t3.
4, the driver's seat power window control circuit 1 transmits a one-touch auto-up command to the passenger seat power window control circuit 2, and the passenger seat power window control circuit 2 drives the power window motor 10 of the driver's seat. One-touch auto-up operation is performed simultaneously with the driver's seat power window.

Conversely, the driver's seat central operation switch unit 5
When the driver's seat window operation switch 20 is pressed in two steps at timings t41 and t42, the driver's seat power window motor 6 performs a one-touch auto-down operation from timing t43 when the driver's seat window operation switch 20 returns to the OFF position.

Then, during the one-touch auto-down operation of the driver's seat power window, any one of the other seat power window operation switches 21 to 23 (in the following description, the passenger seat power window operation switch 21 is used similarly as described above). ) Is down-operated at timing t44, the driver's seat power window control circuit 1 transmits a one-touch auto-down command to the passenger's seat power window control circuit 2, and the passenger's seat power window control circuit 2 controls the power window motor 10 of the driver's seat. One-touch auto-down operation is performed simultaneously with the driver's seat power window by driving.

Thus, according to the power window control device of the second embodiment, the driver's seat window operation switch can be operated without changing the mechanical configuration of the centralized operation switch unit 5 conventionally installed in the driver's seat. After performing the one-touch auto operation of 20, the driver's seat and the power window of any other seat are simultaneously operated by one-touch auto up or down operation by simply operating the power window operation switches 21 to 23 of any other seat in the same direction. You can do it. Then, after the one-touch auto operation of the driver's seat window operation switch 20, if the other seat window operation switches 21 to 23 are sequentially operated in the same direction, the simultaneous automatic up operation or the down operation of all the seat windows can be performed. .
