  • Patent number: 9334684
    Abstract: A sliding door device for a vehicle is disclosed. The sliding door device for a vehicle includes a sliding door installed in a vehicle body to be slidingly moved to open and close a door opening formed in the vehicle body. A vehicle body weather strip is attached to the door opening. A sensing device is installed in the vehicle body weather strip to sense that an object or an occupant is jammed in a state where the sliding door is closed. An electronic control unit (ECU) for receives a sensing signal of the sensing device to control opening and closing of the sliding door. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent an object or an occupant from being jammed in a process of closing the sliding door.

  • Patent number: 9051767
    Abstract: A sliding door device for a motor vehicle includes a slidably movable sliding door, a door weather strip attached to the sliding door, and a vehicle body weather strip tightly attached to the door weather strip to maintain airtightness in a state in which the sliding door is closed. A pressure switch senses an internal pressure of the door weather strip, and a pneumatic line connects the door weather strip and the pressure switch such that they communicate with each other. An electronic control unit (ECU) controls an opening and closing operation of the sliding door upon receiving a sensing signal from the pressure switch, and an opening and closing valve allows the pneumatic line to communicate with atmospheric pressure or closes the pneumatic line to atmospheric pressure. An object or a passenger is effectively prevented from being caught when a sliding door is being closed.
