  • Publication number: 20220290483
    Abstract: A drive device for adjusting a vehicle assembly including an electromotive adjustment drive to adjust the vehicle assembly and a control device for controlling the adjustment drive, the control device configured to actuate the adjustment drive in an automatic mode, for adjusting the vehicle assembly with a predetermined rotational speed, and in a servo mode for providing a supporting force during a manual adjustment of the vehicle assembly by a user. The control device includes a speed regulation module for determining a first setpoint current value in dependence on a rotational speed of the adjustment drive, a servo regulation module for determining a second setpoint current value in dependence on a load acting on the vehicle assembly and a current regulation module for regulating a current of the adjustment drive.

  • Publication number: 20220290481
    Abstract: A drive device for adjusting a vehicle assembly including an electromotive adjustment drive for adjusting the vehicle assembly and a control device for controlling the adjustment drive, the control device is configured to actuate the adjustment drive in a holding mode for holding the vehicle assembly. It is provided that the control device includes a regulation module for regulating a characteristic variable of the adjustment drive and a control module, wherein the regulation module is configured to determine a correcting variable for regulating the characteristic variable of the adjustment drive in the holding mode with reference to a specified setpoint value, and the control module is configured to evaluate a change of the correcting variable to detect an adjustment request for adjusting the vehicle assembly.

  • Patent number: 9388762
    Abstract: In order to control an adjusting device of a motor vehicle, in particular a window lift, having a motor-driven adjusting part, the speed of the drive is controlled to a desired speed value during normal operation at least in a sub-range of an adjustment travel and the driving force is controlled to a desired force value in the event of difficult motion for a first time period. After the first time period has ended, the adjusting part is reversed or the drive is at least stopped in the event of pinching. If the difficult motion is not an event of pinching, the speed of the drive is controlled anew to the desired speed value, wherein the driving force is first reduced to a first force and is increased to the desired force value within a second time period and/or a value realized during normal operation is used as a desired force value for the driving force.
