Description

Apparatus for Anti-Safety Accident by Sunroof

The present invention relates to a sunroof for automobiles, and more particularly, by changing the control logic of the sunroof operation switch to prevent the sunroof from automatically closing by the operation of only the closing switch. It relates to a safety accident prevention device by a sunroof to prevent the safety accidents caused by.

Unlike other window panes installed in the car to secure a driving clock, the sunroof creates an opening in the roof panel to brighten the inside of the car, and the space is psychologically enlarged to give the occupant a sense of freedom and provide good ventilation. It plays a role to improve the comfort.

Such sunroofs are largely classified into a sliding type and a tilt up type according to the operation of the panel covering the opening of the roof panel.

The slide type is to open and close the opening of the roof panel while the roof glass of the sunroof slides along the roof panel. The sliding type is an outer sliding type in which the roof glass slides along the upper surface of the roof panel, and the roof glass is looped. It is classified as an inner sliding type that slides along the lower surface of the panel.

On the other hand, the tilt-up type is the type in which the rear end of the roof glass is raised to mainly aim to ventilate the vehicle.

For reference, since the air flow outside the roof panel is very fast while the vehicle is driving, the air pressure outside the roof panel is lower than the air pressure (atmospheric pressure) in the vehicle.

Accordingly, the sunroof ventilates the inside of the vehicle through the opening of the roof panel due to the pressure difference of the air, while ventilating the inside of the vehicle, while corresponding to the opening when the opening of the roof panel is to be blocked, such as during rain. It is to close the opening through the roof glass of size.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a vehicle with a typical sunroof, Figure 2 is a front view showing an operation switch for operating a conventional sunroof.

As shown in FIG. 1, an opening having a predetermined size is formed at one side of the roof panel 1 of the vehicle so that the inside and the outside of the vehicle communicate with each other, and the opening is appropriately opened and closed as necessary. The sunroof 2 is installed to be movable in the roof panel 1.

Here, the sliding structure or the tilt-up structure of the sunroof (2) is not related to the subject matter of the present invention, and should be regarded as belonging to the conventional publicly known bar, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The slide open switch 20 is a switch to open the sunroof in a slide type as described above, the tilt-up switch 30 is a switch to open in a tilt-up form in which the rear end of the sunroof is raised, The closing switch 40 is a switch to close the open sunroof.

 Typically, a tilt up switch 30 is disposed between the slide open switch 20 and the close switch 40 so that the slide open switch 20 and the close switch 40 do not neighbor each other, which is a slide open switch. This is to prevent the wrong operation that the 20 and the closing switch 40 is pressed at the same time.

Here, the closing switch 40 performs an automatic closing function that closes the sunroof to the end even if the button is pressed once with one touch for the convenience of operation.

Therefore, conventionally, the sunroof is automatically closed when the closing switch 40 is slightly pressed by the carelessness or misoperation of another passenger in a situation in which a part of the passenger's body is exposed outside the sunroof while the sunroof is slide-opened. There is a problem that injuries to the occupant exposed to the body part by performing.

Of course, in recent years in North America, as part of the purpose of preventing the risk, the "FMVSS118" legislation that the contents of the automatic closing function of the sunroof even if the closing switch 40 is pressed (hereinafter referred to as "line Loop Safety Accident Prevention Law "has been promulgated.

Accordingly, the sunroof mounted on the North American export vehicle in the future should meet the sunroof safety accident prevention legislation, and the method of testing the suitability of the legislation is a 20 mm circular sphere with the operation switch 10 shown in FIG. It is to see if the automatic closing function of the sunroof is performed when rolled under pressure after contacting.

Therefore, as a way to pass the test, it has been proposed to install the closing switch 40 itself less than the surrounding skin surface so that the closing switch 40 is not in contact with the circular sphere at the source, this is an active alternative In addition, the operation of the closing switch 40 of the user may be difficult, and the height of the operation switch 10 may be different, thereby deteriorating appearance quality.

The present invention is to solve the problems described above, the object of the sunroof is to close the sunroof automatically closed by preventing the sunroof auto-close function even if the closing switch of the sunroof is pressed once by carelessness or incorrect operation To prevent injuries caused by the accident.

In addition, the same height of the sunroof operation switch to pass the sunroof safety accident prevention test without deteriorating the appearance quality.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems,

It provides a safety accident prevention device by a sunroof, characterized in that comprises a.

In addition, on the circuit to which the slide open switch is connected, a relay is provided so that the circuit of the slide open switch is disconnected when the tilt up switch is operated.

In addition, the motor unit, characterized in that both the tilting and the slide of the sunroof can be performed.

The motor unit may be divided into a tilting motor for allowing the sunroof to tilt up and a slide motor for sliding the sunroof.

According to the present invention, even if the closing switch of the sunroof is pressed by inadvertent or incorrect operation, the automatic closing function of the sunroof is not performed, and only the signal of the closing switch is input within a predetermined time after the slide opening switch is pressed. The control logic is configured to close by, so there is an excellent effect of significantly reducing the occurrence of injuries caused by misoperation of the sunroof switch.

In addition, according to the present invention, through the active measures to improve the control logic of the sunroof, the closing switch does not have to be recessed than the surrounding skin surface, so that the sunroof safety accident without deteriorating the appearance quality of the sunroof operation switch It has the advantage of passing the prevention legislation test.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a circuit diagram showing a basic embodiment of the control logic of the sunroof safety accident prevention apparatus according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a circuit diagram showing a modified embodiment of the control logic of the sunroof safety accident prevention apparatus according to the present invention. to be.

First, the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The present invention relates to a sunroof device for an automobile provided with a closing switch 40, a tilt-up switch 30, and a slide opening switch 20. 110, the timer means 120, the end gate 130, and the motor 140.

The control unit 110 is electrically connected to the closing switch 40, the tilt up switch 30, and the slide opening switch 20, respectively, to receive the operation presence of each of the switches.

That is, the control unit 110 is electrically connected to the switches through a wire or a printed circuit as shown in FIG. 3, so that each of the switches can be turned off or on. You will be judged.

On the other hand, the timer means 120 is electrically connected to the slide open switch 20, so that the ON (ON) signal of the slide open switch 20 is maintained for a predetermined time, typically the slide open The switch 20 outputs a signal that is energized only when the switch is pressed to reach the contact point. The timer unit 120 generates a time when the on signal of the slide open switch 20 is generated even once. The slide open switch 20 is actually turned off so that the on signal is output after passing through the timer means 120.

Here, the time set in the timer means 120 can be appropriately adjusted according to the needs of the user, in the embodiment of the present invention is set in the range of about 1.5 to 3 seconds.

In this case, the circuit connected to the control unit 110 should not pass through the timer means 120. As shown, it is preferable to be connected between the slide open switch 20 and the timer means 120.

On the other hand, the end gate portion 130 outputs an on signal when an on signal is output from both the slide open switch 20 and the close switch 40, and the slide and the circuit to which the close switch 40 is connected. The opening switch 20 is installed between the connected circuits.

Accordingly, when the closing switch 40 is operated within the set time of the timer means 120 in the state where the slide opening switch 20 is pre-operated, an automatic closing input signal A is provided to the controller 110. do.

That is, the AND gate 130 sends the automatic closing input signal A to the control unit 110 only when the slide opening switch 20 and the closing switch 40 are both in the on state. The switch 20 and the closing switch 40 may be operated at the same time, and may be operated with a time difference as long as it is within the time set by the timer means 120.

Therefore, in order to perform the automatic closing function of the sunroof, only the closing switch 40 should not be operated. The slide opening switch 20 must be operated first, and then the closing switch 40 must be operated. The automatic closing input signal A is transmitted to the controller 110 by the 130.

Here, when only the closing switch 40 is operated, the control unit 110 does not perform the automatic closing function of the sunroof and closes the sunroof only when the closing switch 40 is operated. In this case, the user is closed. When the hand 40 is released from the switch 40, the sunroof is closed.

Of course, pressing only the slide open switch 20, the control unit 110 allows the sunroof to be opened in a slide type, the sunroof can be opened only while pressing the slide open switch 20 or the slide open switch (one-touch) You can also set it to open automatically when you press 20) once, which you can select according to your needs.

In addition, the motor unit 140 is operated in each mode by different control signals of the control unit 110, where each mode is the sunroof is closed by pressing only the closing switch 40 as described above. A function, a function of opening the sunroof by pressing only the slide open switch 20, a function of tilting the sunroof by pressing the tilt up switch 30, and a function of pressing the slide open switch 20 and the closing switch 40. Pressing it means the sunroof performs the auto close function.

That is, the motor unit 140 is a bidirectional motor performing a corresponding operation by different control signals of the controller 110, and the motor unit 140 is a sunroof as one motor as shown in FIG. Both tilting and slide of may be performed.

In addition, the motor unit 140 may be provided in two, as shown in Figure 4, one is a tilting motor 141 for the sunroof to tilt up, the other is a slide motor (sliding the sunroof) ( 142).

Therefore, the controller 110 controls only the tilting motor 141 based on the signal input from the tilt up switch 30, and controls the signal from the closing switch 40 or the slide opening switch 20. The slide motor 142 is controlled based on the above, and the control signals of the controller 110 controlling the slide motor 142 are three types as described above.

On the other hand, even if the on-off signal of the closing switch 40 is input within the time set by the timer means 120 after the slide opening switch 20 is turned on (ON), the tilt-up switch 30 is operated therebetween. If the condition is, the control unit 110 should not be input to the automatic closing input signal (A).

This is because the user touches the slide open switch 20, the tilt up switch 30, and the close switch 40 in sequence or in reverse order by a misoperation of the switch regardless of the intention of the user to automatically close the sunroof. In order to prevent the problem that may occur in advance, it is also a measure to pass the compliance test of the "Sunroof Safety Accident Prevention Law" with a 20mm circular sphere as described in the prior art.

That is, the conformity test of the sunroof safety accident prevention legislation pushes the circular sphere in contact with the slide opening switch 20 and the tilt-up switch 30 and the closing switch 40 while pressing in one direction. If within the set time of the timer means 120, when the slide switch 40 is turned on and the closing switch 40 is turned on, the sunroof is automatically closed.

Accordingly, when the on signal of the tilt up switch 30 is input between the slide open switch 20 and the close switch 40, the slide open switch 20 does not perform the automatic closing function of the sunroof. The relay 150 is preferably installed on the circuit connected to the relay 150 to disconnect the circuit of the slide open switch 20 when the tilt-up switch 30 is operated.

The relay 150 is normally connected so that both contacts are energized, but when the tilt-up switch 30 is turned on and current flows, the coil 151 of the relay 150 is magnetized to switch the switching unit 152. By pulling out, the circuit to which the slide open switch 20 is connected is disconnected.

Accordingly, in the state in which the tilt up switch 30 is operated, the auto closing input signal A cannot be input to the controller 110 through the end gate 130.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated in detail using the preferable Example, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific Example described, and the person of ordinary skill in the art is not limited within the scope of this invention. Substitution and modification of the components are possible, which also belongs to the rights of the present invention.
