BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, It can be easily carried out. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a configuration of an embodiment of a vehicle side mirror driving apparatus according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle side mirror driving apparatus according to the present invention includes a mode setting unit 10, an ignition key sensing unit 20, and a side mirror driving unit 30.

Looking at the respective components, first, the mode setting unit 10 has a switch-type structure, and allows the driver to select the operation mode of the side mirror. That is, the mode setting unit 10 enables setting of the UNFOLD mode, the AUTO mode, and the FOLD mode.

In this case, when the driver sets the unfold mode, regardless of whether the ignition key detected by the ignition key detecting unit 20 is operated, the mode setting unit 10 may supply a power supply unit for unfolding the vehicle side mirror. (Not shown) is applied to the side mirror driving unit 30.

In addition, when the driver sets the fold mode, regardless of whether the ignition key sensed by the ignition key detecting unit 20 operates, the mode setting unit 10 supplies power from a power supply unit for folding the vehicle side mirror. Is applied to the side mirror driving unit 30.

Meanwhile, when the driver sets the automatic mode, when the ignition key detecting unit 20 detects the operation of the ignition key, the driver applies the power from the power supply unit for unfolding the side mirror driver 30 to the side mirror driving unit 30. .

On the other hand, if the start key detecting unit 20 does not detect the operation of the start key, the power from the power supply for folding the side mirror for the vehicle is applied to the side mirror driver 30.

Next, the ignition key detecting unit 20 may detect whether the ignition key is inserted and the on / off state of the ignition, and may be provided in the ignition key box, and the ignition key box may be formed at the steering wheel in front of the driver's seat. It may be provided on the lower side.

In addition, the starter key detecting unit 20 may be provided in various ways. For example, the starter key detecting unit 20 may be provided inside the starter key box to detect whether the key is inserted or detect a rotational direction of the key to detect an on / off state of the starter. It may be provided with a start key position sensor.

Meanwhile, when applied to a vehicle equipped with a smart key, the start key detecting unit 20 may detect whether the smart key is mounted in the vehicle.

Next, the side mirror driving unit 30 is driven by the forward voltage or the reverse voltage applied through the mode setting unit 10 or the start key detecting unit 20 to fold or unfold the vehicle side mirror.

In addition, the side mirror driver 30 may be provided separately from the first driver driven in the forward direction and the second driver driven in the reverse direction.

Hereinafter, the operation of the mode setting unit 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

FIG. 2A is an exemplary view illustrating an operating state of the side mirror driving unit 30 when the mode setting unit 10 is set to the unfold mode, and FIG. 2B is a side mirror when the mode setting unit 10 is set to the fold mode. It is an exemplary figure which shows the operation state of the drive part 30. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2A, when the mode setting unit 10 is set to the unfolded mode, forward power is applied to the side mirror driving unit 30 to unfold the side mirror.

On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the mode setting unit 10 is set to the fold mode, the reverse side power is applied to the side mirror driving unit 30 to fold the side mirror.

Meanwhile, when the mode setting unit 10 is set to the automatic mode, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the side mirror driving unit 30 has the forward power or the reverse power depending on whether the start key detecting unit 20 is detected. Is approved.

3A illustrates a state in which the start key detecting unit 20 detects the operation of the start key and applies forward power to the side mirror driving unit 30 so that the side mirror driving unit 30 unfolds the side mirror, and FIG. 3B. Since the start key detecting unit 20 does not detect the operation of the start key, the side mirror driving unit 30 applies reverse power, and the side mirror driving unit 30 shows the state of folding the side mirror.

Figure 4 is a flow diagram of an embodiment of a vehicle side mirror driving method according to the present invention.

First, the mode setting unit 10 receives an operation mode of the side mirror for a vehicle from a driver (401).

When the operation mode is the automatic mode, when the ignition key detecting unit 20 detects the operation of the ignition key (402), the ignition key detecting unit 20 applies forward power to the side mirror driving unit 30 to the vehicle side. Unfold the mirror (403).

When the operation mode is the automatic mode, if the start key detecting unit 20 does not detect the operation of the start key (402), the start key detecting unit 20 applies the reverse power to the side mirror driving unit 30 for the vehicle The side mirror is folded (404).

If the operation mode is the unfolded mode, the mode setting unit 10 applies the forward power to the side mirror driver 30 to unfold the vehicle side mirror (405).

If the operation mode is the fold mode, the mode setting unit 10 applies the reverse power to the side mirror driver 30 to fold the vehicle side mirror (406).

Through this process, the additional cost of installing the BCM can be reduced, and the side mirror can be driven with a simpler structure.

Meanwhile, the method of the present invention as described above can be written in a computer program. And the code and code segments constituting the program can be easily deduced by a computer programmer in the field. In addition, the created program is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (information storage medium), and is read and executed by a computer to implement the method of the present invention. The recording medium may include any type of computer readable recording medium.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The present invention is not limited to the drawings.
