  • Publication number: 20240110425
    Abstract: A vehicle door control device is provided to a vehicle including a door and a drive device. The vehicle door control device executes door control processing when the door moves in a closing direction from a stopped state in a state where a closing operation command signal for commanding a closing operation of the door is not received. In the door control processing, the vehicle door control device executes a braking mode, in which a braking force is applied to the door by regenerative braking action of a motor, when the door opening degree is less than the determination opening degree, and executes a closing operation mode, in which the door performs the closing operation such that a moving speed of the door is constant, when the door opening degree is equal to or greater than the determination opening degree.

  • Publication number: 20240110426
    Abstract: A vehicle door control device controlling a motor and a door lock device of a door. During a closing operation of the door based on a closing operation command signal, the motor is driven to cause the door to perform the closing operation until shift of a latch mechanism from the unlatching state to the half-latching state is detected. The latch mechanism is shifted from the half-latching state to the full-latching state by starting driving of the door lock device simultaneously with or before or after completion of the closing operation of the door. When the shift of the latch mechanism from the half-latching state to the full-latching state is detected, position correction control of correcting a position of the door by driving the motor such that a force in an opening direction acts on the door is executed.

  • Patent number: 11309813
    Abstract: An opening/closing body drive device includes: a motor which opens or closes an opening/closing body; a drive unit which rotates the motor; and a control unit which controls the drive unit. The drive unit includes first and second integrated circuits having first and second switching elements and third and fourth switching elements which are connected to each other in series with respect to a power source and connection points of which are connected to one and the other terminals of the motor, respectively. The control unit turn-on drives only the second switching element when braking the motor during the forward rotation and turn-on drives only the fourth switching element when braking the motor during the reverse rotation, or turn-on drives only the third switching element when braking the motor during the forward rotation and turn-on drives only the first switching element when braking the motor during the reverse rotation.

  • Patent number: 10326400
    Abstract: An overcurrent protection device has a threshold value for determination of a magnitude of motor current and performs: a first detection of detecting a period, during which the motor current takes a value larger than the threshold value, as a first value; a second detection of detecting a maximum value of the motor current as a second value by frequently detecting the motor current; and a signal formation of forming a motor stop signal based on determination using the first value and the second value.

  • Publication number: 20190145151
    Abstract: A control apparatus controlling an opening and closing member for a vehicle includes a motor driving portion, a contact determination portion, a speed setting portion specifying a target speed and a determination speed of the opening and closing member in a manner that a difference therebetween changes depending on an opening degree of the opening and closing member, and an opening degree setting portion specifying a stop opening degree of the opening and closing member. In a case where a deceleration stop control is performed, the speed setting portion is configured to decrease the target speed from a deceleration start opening degree to the stop opening degree with increase of the opening degree, the speed setting portion being configured to decrease the determination speed from the deceleration start opening degree to the stop opening degree as compared to a case where the deceleration stop control is not performed.
