  • Patent number: 11085227
    Abstract: A vehicle opening and closing apparatus that opens and closes an opening and closing body provided on a vehicle includes: an electric motor that drives the opening and closing body; a position detection part that detects a position of the opening and closing body; a measurement part that measures a current value which flows in the electric motor when the opening and closing body arrives at a predetermined position; a counter that counts up a count value based on the current value; and a determination part that stops, for a predetermined period of time, the next and subsequent opening and closing operation of the opening and closing body when the count value exceeds a first threshold value.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080303685
    Abstract: A structure for installing a capacitance sensor which detects an object in vicinity of the capacitance sensor to a door of a vehicle, including a spacer disposed between the door and the capacitance sensor attached at a vehicle-inner side of an opening end of the door. A water-drop prevention portion is formed on an outer surface of the spacer for preventing water from flowing to the capacitance sensor from the door.

  • Publication number: 20050160674
    Abstract: The reduction of cost, size, and weight of an automatic opening and closing system for a vehicle provided with an electromagnetic clutch is achieved. An electromagnetic clutch is provided between a worm gear mechanism in a drive unit and an output shaft connected to a slide door. The electromagnetic clutch has a clutch coil fixed to inside of a worm wheel and an armature attached to the output shaft so as to be movable in the axial direction. Coil ends of the clutch coil are electrically connected to slip rings fixed to the worm wheel, and contacts connected to an electric power source are slidably brought into contact with the slip rings, and electric power is supplied to the clutch coil through these components. By magnetic attraction force generated by the clutch coil in a conducting state, the armature is attracted and engaged with the worm wheel.
