An embodiment of a vehicle opening/closing body control device will be described below with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 1 includes a slide door 4 that opens and closes a door opening 3 provided on the side surface 2s of the vehicle body 2. As shown in FIG. Specifically, the vehicle 1 has a plurality of guide rails 5a to 5c extending in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 1), and a plurality of guide roller units 6a to 6c connected to the guide rails 5, respectively. and is provided. The slide door 4 is supported by the side surface 2s of the vehicle body 2 via these guide rails 5 and guide roller units 6. As shown in FIG.

These guide rails 5 and guide roller units 6 are capable of relatively displacing the connecting position of the guide roller unit 6 with respect to the guide rails 5 along the extending direction of the guide rails 5 . As a result, a sliding door device 10 is formed that enables the opening and closing operation of the sliding door 4 provided in the door opening 3 .

The sliding door 4 is configured to be in a fully closed state that closes the door opening 3 by moving to the front side of the vehicle (left side in FIG. 1). The slide door 4 is configured to be in an open state by moving to the rear side of the vehicle (right side in the drawing) so that passengers of the vehicle 1 can get in and out of the vehicle 1 through the door opening 3 .

The vehicle 1 also includes a door opening 13 provided at a rear end portion 2r of the vehicle body 2 and opening rearward. A so-called flip-up back door 14 is provided in the door opening 13 .
The back door 14 is opened upward with the upper end portion of the door opening 13 as a fulcrum of rotation. A pair of support devices 15 having a shaft shape that is extendable is provided at both ends of the door opening 13 in the width direction. The pair of support devices 15 are rotatably connected to the vehicle body 2 and the back door 14 at their axial ends. The vehicle 1 is provided with a back door device 20 that opens and closes the door opening 13 based on the operation of the support device 15 . The back door device 20 has a so-called rear hatch configuration.

The vehicle 1 is also provided with a PSD actuator 31 that drives the slide door 4 to open and close using the motor 30 as a drive source, and a PSDECU 35 that controls the operation of the PSD actuator 31 . Further, the vehicle 1 is provided with a PBD actuator 41 that drives the back door 14 to open and close using the motor 40 as a drive source, and a PBD ECU 45 that controls the operation of the PBD actuator 41 . As a result, the slide door device 10 and the back door device 20 are respectively configured as a so-called power slide door and a power back door that are opened and closed by motor drive.

Specifically, a pulse signal Sp<b>1 synchronized with the operation of the PSD actuator 31 is input to the PSDECU 35 . The PSD ECU 35 detects the movement position Xsd of the slide door 4 that opens and closes based on the driving force of the PSD actuator 31 by counting the pulse signal Sp1.

Similarly, a pulse signal Sp2 synchronized with the operation of the PBD actuator 41 is input to the PBD ECU 45 as well. The PBD ECU 45 detects the movement position Xbd of the back door 14 that opens and closes based on the driving force of the PBD actuator 41 by counting the pulse signal Sp2.

The movement position Xsd of the slide door 4 is represented by, for example, the fully closed position or a pulse count value based on the fully closed position. Similarly, the movement position Xbd of the back door 14 is represented by the fully closed position or a pulse count value or the like based on the fully closed position.

The PSDECU 35 also receives an operation input signal Scr1 for an operation input unit 53 provided in the door handle 51 of the sliding door 4, the interior of the vehicle, and the portable device 52 held by the user of the vehicle 1. The PSD ECU 35 controls the operation of the PSD actuator 31, that is, executes opening/closing drive control of the slide door 4 based on the opening/closing operation request of the slide door 4 indicated by the operation input signal Scr1 and the detected movement position Xsd.

Similarly, the PSDECU 35 also receives an operation input signal Scr2 for the operation input unit 55 provided in the back door 14, the vehicle body 2, the portable device 52, and the like. Specifically, the vehicle 1 includes an operation switch 56 that is an operation input unit 55 for the back door 14 . The operation switch 56 is provided on the side surface 2s of the vehicle body 2 in the vicinity of the rear end portion 2r where the back door 14 is provided. The PBD ECU 45 controls the operation of the PBD actuator 41, that is, controls the opening and closing drive of the back door 14, based on the opening/closing operation request for the back door 14 indicated by the operation input signal Scr2 and the detected movement position Xbd.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the PSDECU 35 and the PBDECU 45 respectively detect an opening/closing operation request (step 101: YES), they specify the driving directions of the slide door 4 and the back door 14 to be opened/closed (step 102). . Then, the PSDECU 35 and the PBDECU 45 each execute opening/closing drive control in the specified drive direction (step 103).

The PSD ECU 35 holds the opening/closing operation request detected in step 101 and the drive direction specified in step 102 during execution of the opening/closing drive control. Accordingly, when no new operation input signal Scr1 is detected, the slide door 4 driven by the PSD actuator 31 is moved to the fully closed position or the fully opened position by the drive control executed by the PSDECU 35 .

Similarly, the PBDECU 45 also holds the opening/closing operation request detected in step 101 and the drive direction specified in step 102 during execution of the opening/closing drive control. As a result, when no new operation input signal Scr2 is detected, the back door 14 driven by the PBD actuator 41 is moved to the fully closed position or fully opened position by the drive control executed by the PBDECU 45 .

The slide door 4 can be manually opened and closed by using the door handle 51 as a grip. Similarly, the back door 14 can also be manually opened and closed.

The PSDECU 35 also receives an entrapment detection signal Scd1 indicating that an entrapment has occurred in the sliding door 4 that is being opened/closed by executing drive control or manually, that is, in the sliding door 4 that is in operation. As the pinch detection signal Scd1 of the slide door 4, for example, an output signal of a touch sensor (not shown) provided at the front edge portion 4f of the slide door 4 is used. When entrapment is detected, reverse driving control of the slide door 4 is executed.

Similarly, the PBDECU 45 receives an entrapment detection signal Scd2 indicating that an entrapment has occurred in the operating back door 14 . As the pinch detection signal Scd2 of the back door 14, for example, an output signal of a touch sensor (not shown) provided on the back door 14 is used. When entrapment is detected, reverse driving control of the back door 14 is executed.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the PSDECU 35 and the PBDECU 45 respectively detect entrapment (step 201: YES), they stop driving control of the slide door 4 and the back door 14 to be opened/closed (step 202). In the stopped drive control, the PSDECU 35 and the PBDECU 45 each execute reverse drive control in which the drive direction indicated by the opening/closing operation request is reversed, that is, the direction of the drive request is reversed (step 203). .

(Sliding door operation restriction control when back door switch is operated)
Next, the slide door operation restriction control when the back door switch mounted on the vehicle 1 is operated will be described.

As shown in FIG. 4, the operation switch 56 provided on the side surface 2s of the vehicle body 2 is arranged near the terminal position of the guide rail 5b forming the center rail behind the door opening 3. That is, the operation switch 56 is provided on the side surface 2 s of the vehicle body 2 so as to be positioned on the leading side of the door opening 3 in the opening direction of the slide door 4 . Therefore, there is a possibility that the user 60 outside the vehicle who operates the operation switch 56 to open and close the back door 14 may enter the movement locus Tsd of the slide door 4 .

Based on this point, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the vehicle 1, the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 includes the fully open position Xo of the slide door 4 based on the detection of the operation input to the operation switch 56. An opening operation regulation region α is set. That is, when the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 is operated, it is highly likely that the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 has entered the movement locus Tsd of the slide door 4 . Therefore, in the opening operation regulation region α, the PSD ECU 35 does not execute the opening drive control of the slide door 4, thereby suppressing interference between the slide door 4 and the user 60 outside the vehicle who operates the operation switch 56 for the back door 14. do.

The opening operation restriction region α is set in a manner that bisects the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 from the fully closed position Xc to the fully open position Xo. When the opening operation regulation area α is set, the PSDECU 35 applies a braking force to the slide door 4 within the opening operation regulation area α to perform braking control to regulate the opening operation.

Specifically, the motor 30 of the PSD actuator 31 employs a brushless motor. The braking control executed when the opening operation regulation region α is set is brake control of the motor 30, for example, energization control in which the energization phase of the motor coil is fixed, which is called "single-phase energization" or "phase-fixed energization". , or by regenerative braking control or the like.

Further, when the opening restriction region α is set, the opening drive control of the slide door 4 by the PSDECU 35 is performed only in the opening permission region β on the fully closed position Xc side of the opening restriction region α.

　In other words, when the movement position Xsd of the slide door 4 is within the opening operation regulation region α, the PSD ECU 35 does not start the opening drive control. In addition, the PSD ECU 35 stops the opening drive control when the slide door 4 moving in the opening direction due to the execution of the opening drive control enters from the opening permission region β to the opening regulation region α. As a result, the slide door 4 stopped within the opening restriction region α moves in the opening direction toward the fully open position Xo, that is, does not perform the opening operation.

Specifically, the PSDECU 35 maintains the opening restriction region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 while an operation input to the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 is detected. Further, the PSDECU 35 maintains the opening operation regulation region α until the opening/closing operation of the back door 14 is stopped by an operation input to the operation switch 56, that is, until the opening/closing drive control by the PBDECU 45 ends. Furthermore, the PSDECU 35 maintains the set opening regulation region α during the opening operation of the slide door 4 even when the condition for maintaining the opening regulation region α is eliminated. In other words, if an operation input to the operation switch 56 is detected even once, the opening restriction region α set to the movement range 4X is not canceled while the slide door 4 is being opened. This more effectively suppresses interference between the user 60 outside the vehicle who operates the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 and the slide door 4 .

In addition, when setting the opening regulation region α, the PSD ECU 35 changes the size of the opening regulation region α to be set depending on whether or not the slide door 4 is in the process of opening. The "opening operation" in this case includes movement of the slide door 4 in the opening direction by the open drive control of the PSD ECU 35 and movement of the slide door 4 in the opening direction by manual operation. The PSD ECU 35, when setting the opening operation regulation region α during the opening operation of the slide door 4, sets the opening operation regulation region α while the slide door 4 is not being operated to open, that is, during the non-opening operation. Also, the opening operation regulation region α is set narrowly.

In other words, the second opening restriction region α2 set during the opening operation is closer to the fully open position Xo than the first opening restriction region α1 set during the non-opening operation of the slide door 4. It has a boundary position Xb with the region β. As a result, the opening operation restriction region α is set after the opening operation is started, and the opening operation restriction region α is closer to the fully open position Xo than when the opening operation restriction region α is set at the time the opening operation is started. The slide door 4 is opened to the position.

Specifically, the first opening operation regulating region α1 has an amount of opening that allows an occupant to get in and out of the door through the door opening 3 when the sliding door 4 stops at the boundary position Xb1 with the fully closed position Xc as a reference. is set to ensure The second opening operation restriction region α2 is defined by the user 60 operating the operation switch 56 who has entered the movement locus Tsd of the slide door 4 even when the slide door 4 stops at the boundary position Xb2 with the fully open position Xo as a reference. is set to avoid interference with

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the PBDECU 45 transmits to the PSDECU 35 an opening restriction signal Sld for the slide door 4 based on detection of an operation input to the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 . Transmission and reception of the opening operation restriction signal Sld is performed using an in-vehicle network (not shown). The PSD ECU 35 sets the opening restriction region α for the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 based on the opening restriction signal Sld.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, when the PBDECU 45 detects an operation input to the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 (step 301: YES), the PBDECU 45 outputs an opening regulation signal of the slide door 4 to the PSDECU 35. Sld is sent (step 302). Further, the PBDECU 45 executes the

above steps

301 and 302 and the following steps 303 to 305 at predetermined calculation cycles. As a result, while the user 60 outside the vehicle is operating the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 , the PBDECU 45 continues to transmit the opening regulation signal Sld to the PSDECU 35 .

When the PBDECU 45 detects no operation input to the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 in step 301 (step 301: NO), the PBDECU 45 determines whether the back door 14 is in operation (step 303). . Further, when the back door 14 is in operation (step 303: YES), the PBDECU 45 determines whether the operation of the back door 14 is due to drive control initiated by detection of an operation input to the operation switch 56 ( step 304). Then, the PBDECU 45 also executes the process of step 302 when the operation of the back door 14 is due to the drive control started by the detection of the operation input to the operation switch 56 (step 304: YES). In other words, the PBDECU 45 continues to transmit the opening regulation signal Sld to the PSDECU 35 even after the detection of the operation input to the operation switch 56 is stopped until the drive control of the back door 14 started by the detection of the operation input ends. .

When the back door 14 is not in operation (step 303: NO), the PBDECU 45 does not transmit the opening regulation signal Sld (step 305). The PBDECU 45 does not transmit the opening regulation signal Sld to the PSDECU 35 even when the back door 14 is operated by a trigger other than the detection of the operation input to the operation switch 56 (step 304: NO).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the PSDECU 35 receives the opening regulation signal Sld (step 401: YES), the opening regulation region α is set for the movement range 4X of the slide door 4, that is, the setting It is determined whether it is inside (step 402). If the opening operation regulation region α has already been set (step 402: YES), the opening operation regulation region α that is being set is maintained (step 403). The setting determination of the operation restriction region α is executed (step 404).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, in determining the setting of the opening regulation region α, the PSD ECU 35 determines whether or not the slide door 4 is being opened (step 501). The PSD ECU 35 sets the first opening regulation region α1 as the opening regulation region α (step 502, see FIG. 5). When the slide door 4 is being opened (step 501: YES), the PSDECU 35 sets the second opening regulation region α2 as the opening regulation region α (step 503, see FIG. 6).

Also, as shown in FIG. 8, even when the PSD ECU 35 does not receive the opening regulation signal Sld (step 401: NO), it determines whether the opening regulation region α has already been set (step 405). When the opening operation regulation area α has already been set (step 405: YES), the PSD ECU 35 determines whether to cancel the set opening operation regulation area α (step 406).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the PSDECU 35 also determines whether or not the slide door 4 is in the process of opening when determining whether to release the opening regulation region α (step 601). When the slide door 4 is not in the opening operation, i.e., in the non-opening operation (step 601: NO), the PSDECU 35 cancels the opening restriction region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 ( step 602). When the slide door 4 is being opened (step 601: YES), the PSDU 35 maintains the setting of the opening restriction region α for the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 (step 603).

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the PSD ECU 35 determines that the sliding door 4 is within the opening restriction region α when the opening restriction region α is set in the movement range 4X of the sliding door 4 (step 701: YES). It is determined whether it is located (step 702). The PSD ECU 35 determines the direction of movement of the slide door 4 (step 703) when the slide door 4 is positioned within the opening operation regulation region α (step 702: YES). Then, when the slide door 4 positioned within the opening restriction region α is moving in the opening direction or is about to start moving in the opening direction (step 702: YES), the PSD ECU 35 controls the opening of the slide door 4 to restrict the opening operation. (step 704).

Furthermore, when the PSD ECU 35 detects that the slide door 4 is caught in the above manner, it executes reverse driving control of the slide door 4 (see FIG. 3). When the reversing drive control is executed, the slide door 4 is driven in the opening direction even if the slide door 4 is positioned within the opening restriction region α.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the PSD ECU 35 determines whether or not the slide door 4 is positioned in the opening restriction region α when there is a request to drive the slide door 4 to open (step 801: YES). step 802). If the slide door 4 is not located in the opening regulation region α (step 802: NO), that is, if it is located in the opening permission region β, the opening drive control of the slide door 4 is executed based on the open drive request. (step 803).

In this case, the PSD ECU 35 does not perform braking control of the slide door 4 due to the setting of the opening regulation region α. The PSD ECU 35 thereby starts a new open drive control of the slide door 4 based on the open drive request of step 801, and continues the open drive control being executed.

Further, when the slide door 4 is located in the opening operation regulation region α (step 802: YES), the PSDECU 35 subsequently determines whether the open drive request in step 801 is due to reverse drive control (step 804). ). The PSD ECU 35 also drives the slide door 4 in the opening direction by executing step 803 when the open drive request is for reverse drive control (step 804: YES). The PSD ECU 35 rejects the open drive request of step 801 when the open drive request is not due to reverse drive control (step 804: NO) (step 805).

In other words, the PSD ECU 35 executes braking control to restrict the opening operation of the slide door 4 within the opening operation restriction region α when the open drive request is based on the operation input signal Scr1. Furthermore, the PSDECU 35 does not perform opening drive control of the slide door 4 in the opening regulation region α. As a result, new opening drive control is not started for the slide door 4 located in the opening operation regulation region α, and the opening drive control being executed is stopped.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
While the user 60 outside the vehicle is operating the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 , the PBDECU 45 continuously transmits the opening operation restriction signal Sld to the PSDECU 35 . Further, while the PSD ECU 35 is receiving the opening regulation signal Sld, the opening regulation region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 is maintained by receiving the opening regulation signal Sld. Therefore, while the user 60 outside the vehicle is operating the operation switch 56 for the back door 14, the opening operation of the slide door 4 is restricted in the opening restriction region α.

In addition, the PBDECU 45 continues to transmit the opening operation restriction signal Sld to the PSDECU 35 until the drive control of the back door 14 started by detecting the operation input to the operation switch 56 ends. Accordingly, the opening operation of the slide door 4 in the opening operation restriction region α is restricted until the drive control of the back door 14 based on the operation input to the operation switch 56 is completed.

Furthermore, even when the opening restriction signal Sld from the PBDECU 45 is interrupted, the opening restriction region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 is maintained during the opening operation of the slide door 4 . That is, when the PSDECU 35 receives the opening restriction signal Sld transmitted by the PBDECU 45 even once, the set opening restriction region α is not canceled while the slide door 4 is being opened. Therefore, for the slide door 4 that is opening the opening permission region β, the opening drive control is stopped and the braking control is executed by entering the opening regulation region α. Accordingly, after the opening operation of the slide door 4 is stopped, the opening restriction region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 is canceled based on the interruption of the opening restriction signal Sld.

Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1) The slide door device 10, which is a vehicle opening/closing body control device, includes a PSD actuator 31, which is a driving device for opening and closing the slide door 4, which is an opening/closing body. The sliding door device 10 also includes a PSD ECU 35 that controls the operation of the PSD actuator 31 . The PSD ECU 35 functions as a drive control section 70 a that controls the operation of the PSD actuator 31 to drive the slide door 4 . The PSDECU 35 also functions as a movement position detector 70b that detects the movement position Xsd of the slide door 4. As shown in FIG. On the side surface 2s of the vehicle body 2 provided with the door opening 3 which is an opening to be opened and closed by the slide door 4, a back door 14 is provided at a position leading to the door opening 3 in the opening direction of the slide door 4. operation switch 56 is provided. Furthermore, the PSD ECU 35 sets an opening restriction region α including the fully open position Xo of the slide door 4 in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 based on the detection of the operation input to the operation switch 56. It has a function as Then, when the PSD ECU 35 sets the opening operation regulation region α, the PSDECU 35 regulates the opening operation of the slide door 4 in the opening operation regulation region α.

When the operation switch 56 located on the leading side of the door opening 3 in the opening direction of the slide door 4 is operated, it is possible that the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 has entered the movement locus Tsd of the slide door 4. have a nature. According to the above configuration, in such a case, the opening operation of the slide door 4 is restricted within the opening operation restriction region α by setting the opening operation restriction region α including the fully open position Xo. Thereby, interference between the slide door 4 and the user 60 outside the vehicle who operates the operation switch 56 provided in the opening direction of the slide door 4 can be suppressed. In addition, it is possible to prevent the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 from feeling the psychological oppression of the approaching slide door 4 .

(2) The PSD ECU 35 does not execute opening drive control of the slide door 4 in the opening regulation region α when the opening regulation region α is set.
According to the above configuration, the execution of the opening drive control restricts the opening operation of the slide door 4 that has moved into the opening operation restriction area α, and the opening drive control is performed for the slide door 4 positioned within the opening operation restriction area α. It is possible to regulate the start of the opening operation by execution. Thereby, interference between the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 and the slide door 4 can be suppressed.

(3) The PSD ECU 35 applies a braking force to the slide door 4 within the opening restriction region α when the opening restriction region α is set, and performs braking control to restrict the opening operation of the slide door 4. .

According to the above configuration, the opening operation of the slide door 4 that has moved within the opening operation restriction region α is restricted, and the opening operation of the slide door 4 that is positioned within the opening operation restriction region α is restricted, including the case of manual operation by the occupant. Start of actuation can be regulated. Thereby, interference between the slide door 4 and the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 provided in the opening direction of the slide door 4 can be suppressed.

(4) The PSDECU 35 maintains the opening regulation region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 while the operation input to the operation switch 56 is detected.
While the operation switch 56 is being operated, it is estimated that the user 60 operating the operation switch 56 is likely to be entering the movement locus Tsd of the slide door 4 . Therefore, according to the above configuration, interference between the slide door 4 and the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 provided in the opening direction of the slide door 4 can be suppressed more effectively.

(5) The PSDECU 35 maintains the opening operation regulation region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 until the opening/closing operation of the back door 14, which is an in-vehicle device that has been started by an operation input to the operation switch 56, stops. .

While the back door 14, which has been activated by the operation of the operation switch 56, is opening and closing, there is a high possibility that the user 60 operating the operation switch 56 has entered the movement locus Tsd of the slide door 4. Presumed. Therefore, according to the above configuration, interference between the slide door 4 and the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 provided in the opening direction of the slide door 4 can be suppressed more effectively.

(6) The PSDECU 35 performs opening drive control even when the conditions for maintaining the opening operation regulation region α described in (4) and (5) above are canceled while the slide door 4 is being controlled to open. During execution, the opening operation regulation region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 is maintained.

According to the above configuration, when an operation input to the operation switch 56 is detected even once, the opening restriction region α set in the movement range 4X is not canceled while the slide door 4 is being opened. As for the slide door 4 that moves in the opening direction within the opening permission area β, the opening operation is restricted when the slide door 4 enters the opening restriction area α. After the opening operation of the slide door 4 is stopped, if the operation input to the operation switch 56 is not detected, the opening restriction region α set in the movement range 4X is canceled.

As a result, the slide door 4 can be opened in a state in which the possibility that the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 has entered the movement locus Tsd of the slide door 4 is reduced. Thereby, interference between the slide door 4 and the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 provided in the opening direction of the slide door 4 can be suppressed more effectively.

(7) The opening restriction region α is a first opening restriction region α1 set when the slide door 4 is not opened, and a second opening restriction region set when the slide door 4 is open. and α2. The second opening regulation region α2 is narrower than the first opening regulation region α1.

According to the above configuration, for example, even if the operation switch 56 is operated immediately after the slide door 4 starts to open, interference between the user 60 who operates the operation switch 56 and the slide door 4 is suppressed. The opening operation of the slide door 4 is continued as long as possible. That is, if the slide door 4 is likely to interfere with the user 60 who has entered the movement trajectory Tsd in the opening operation restriction region α, then during the opening operation of the slide door 4 in the opening operation restriction region α In addition, the possibility that the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 is operated is low. Therefore, according to the above configuration, even if the operation switch 56 is operated immediately after the start of the opening operation, interference is suppressed, and at least the first opening operation restriction area α1 and the second opening operation restriction area α2 are maintained. , the opening operation of the slide door 4 can be continued. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the slide door 4 suddenly stops immediately after starting the opening operation, and to ensure a high quality feel.

(8) The PSDECU 35 functions as an entrapment detection unit 70d that detects entrapment occurring in the slide door 4. When the PSD ECU 35 detects that the sliding door 4 is caught, the PSD ECU 35 executes reverse driving control for reversing the driving direction of the sliding door 4 . Then, the PSD ECU 35 drives the slide door 4 in the opening direction even in the opening operation regulation region α when executing the reverse drive control.

According to the above configuration, when entrapment of the slide door 4 is detected, priority is given to eliminating the entrapment by executing the reversing drive control. Thereby, high safety can be ensured.

Note that the above embodiment can be implemented with the following changes. The above embodiments and the following modifications can be combined with each other within a technically consistent range.

· In the above-described embodiment, the PSD ECU 35 receives the opening restriction signal Sld transmitted by the PBDECU 45, so that the opening restriction region α is set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4. However, not limited to this, the detection signal of the operation input to the operation switch 56 for the back door 14 and the driving state signal of the back door 14 by the PBDECU 45 may be input to the PSDECU 35 . As a result, the PSDECU 35 may be configured to determine the possibility of the user 60 entering the movement trajectory Tsd of the slide door 4 corresponding to the transmission of the opening regulation signal Sld by the PBDECU 45 .

That is, the PSD ECU 35 may detect the operation input to the operation switch 56 . The PSDECU 35 may independently determine whether or not to set the opening operation regulation region α based on the detection of the operation input, and whether to maintain the set opening operation regulation region α.

・Furthermore, the condition for maintaining the opening restriction region α set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 may be changed arbitrarily.
- In the above-described embodiment, the set positions of the boundary position Xb1 of the first opening regulation region α1 and the boundary position Xb2 of the second opening regulation region α2 may be changed arbitrarily. The opening operation restriction area α is set in the movement range 4X of the slide door 4 when the opening operation restriction area α is set during the operation of the slide door 4 and when the opening operation restriction area α is set during the non-opening operation. may be the same size.

· In the above embodiment, the configuration of the operation switch 56 provided on the vehicle body 2 so as to be positioned on the leading side of the door opening 3 in the opening direction of the slide door 4 may be set arbitrarily. For example, it may be a button type or a slide type. Furthermore, a configuration using a touch sensor may be used. For example, a non-contact type switch such as a capacitive type switch may be used.

The configuration of the motor 30 that serves as the drive source may also be changed arbitrarily, for example, a DC motor with a brush.

· Further, the magnitude of the braking force applied to the slide door 4 within the opening operation restriction region α by executing the braking control may be set arbitrarily. For example, a strong braking force may be applied so that the slide door 4 does not open even when the passenger manually operates the slide door 4, and the passenger who manually opens the slide door 4 requires a large operating force. It may be one that imparts a braking force. Further, for example, when only the emergency door handle 51 is provided on the slide door 4, in a configuration in which the slide door 4 is opened mainly by the opening drive control executed by the PSDECU 35, the stop position of the slide door 4 It may be a braking force to the extent of holding. The opening operation of the slide door 4 within the opening operation restriction area α may be restricted by execution of position control instead of explicit braking control.

In the above embodiment, the slide door 4 that opens and closes the door opening 3 provided on the side surface 2s of the vehicle body 2 is used as an opening/closing body, and the vehicle opening/closing body control device controls the opening/closing drive of the slide door 4, and the PSDECU 35 and the PSD A sliding door device 10 having an actuator 31 is embodied. On the side surface 2s of the vehicle body 2 where the door opening 3 is provided, an operation switch 56 for the back door 14 is provided at a position on the leading side of the door opening 3 in the opening direction of the slide door 4. .

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to, for example, a vehicle opening/closing body control device for opening/closing bodies other than slide doors, such as a sunroof device. Furthermore, the operation switch 56 provided in the opening direction of the opening/closing body may be an operation switch 56 other than the operation input portion 55 of the back door 14 . Further, the vehicle-mounted device that starts to operate by an operation input to the operation switch 56 does not necessarily have to drive a movable member such as the back door 14 .
