Abstract: An opening and closing control device of opening and closing member for a vehicle includes a motor for actuating the opening and closing member, and a control unit for driving the motor so as to become a predetermined target speed and for driving the motor in reverse direction as a detection of entrapped obstacles when the actual speed of the motor reaches to an entrapment judgment speed which is set lower than the target speed. The control unit sets a threshold speed which is higher than the target speed and outputs an output duty to the motor for achieving the target speed by feedback control. The control unit switches the output duty after the actual speed of the motor becomes higher than the threshold speed to an output by feedforward control based on the target speed.

Abstract: A position detection device enables an accurate detection of a position of a moving object. Two cam surfaces are formed on an outer peripheral surface of a rotary body (22) and micros-witches (38, 39) are brought into contact with respective cam surfaces and a logic (L, H) can be established based on signals from two switches.

Abstract: A vehicle door apparatus includes a drive mechanism and a closure mechanism including a striker and a latch. The striker is positioned within a region where the striker is engageable with the latch when the drive mechanism drives the door in a closing direction. The latch is driven to engage with the striker and shifted to a final locked position by the closure mechanism. The vehicle door apparatus also includes a control mechanism for controlling operations of the drive mechanism and the closure mechanism, a detection mechanism for detecting the striker to be positioned within the region where the striker is engageable with the latch, and a drive force decreasing mechanism provided in the control mechanism for decreasing an output of the drive mechanism after the detecting mechanism detects that the strikes is positioned within the region where the striker is engageable with the latch.

Abstract: An opening and closing device for an opening and closing member of a vehicle includes a driving motor, a feedback control unit for controlling an output duty to the driving motor so that a preset target speed of the driving motor can be achieved, a high-pass filter for filtering a frequency of an actual speed of the driving motor, and a pinching determination unit for determining a pinching of an object based on an output from the high-pass filter.

Abstract: A control apparatus for opening and closing a convertible top of a vehicle includes first detecting device for outputting a first signal representing that a movable roof is closed, a second detecting device for outputting a second signal representing that a locking mechanism is in a locked condition, a third detecting device for outputting a third signal representing that a driving mechanism is turned to an excessive load condition, and a controller for controlling the driving mechanism according to the first signal, the second signal and the third signal. The controller includes a processing device for executing an error step when the third signal is inputted to the controller and the second signal is not inputted to the controller while the first signal is inputted to the controller.

Abstract: In an open roof operating method, when a pulse of a value equal to or greater than a set value is inputted to an ECU when the outputting of motors is stopped, simultaneous operations of respective components are stopped. By adding a sequential non-interference operation flow to a simultaneous operation flow, the interference among respective components under specific conditions can be obviated.
