Abstract:
The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for electrically controlling and/or regulating the movement of an electrically driven unit (2), especially a window lifter or sliding roof of a motor vehicle, and to a method for operating said circuit arrangement. According to the invention, a jamming protection system is characterized in that a correlation variable (K) for the adjusting force of the unit (2) is measured and the adjusting movement is stopped or reversed in order to prevent jamming if the correlation variable (K) for the adjusting force exceeds a threshold value that corresponding to a predetermined jamming force. A filter (140) is used for temporally filtering the correlation variable (K) for the adjusting force of the unit. The invention is characterized in that the filter parameters (142, 143), especially the cutoff frequency (fg) and/or the order of the filter (140), can be controlled.
Abstract:
Transmitting and receiving stations are usually used in automotive engineering in key-less locking systems as electronic key modules or evaluation units for identifying the key module. Deactivation of the locking system is prevented if the key module allocated by means of a clear identification number from the evaluation unit is not in the immediate vicinity of the evaluation unit. Communication between the evaluation unit and the key module is carried out by transmitting data telegrams between transmitting and receiving stations. The aim of the invention is to determine the distance between the transmitting and receiving stations with high resolution. According to the novel method, a transmission signal is respectively generated in the transmitting and receiving station and transmitted as a series of microwave pulses having a predefined pulse repetition rate to the other respective transmitting and receiving station. The coincidence of pulses of the transmission signal sent by the respective transmitting and receiving station and the signal thus received is detected in each transmitting and receiving station as a coincidence event and the number of pulses transmitted and received by the respective transmission and receiving station at the time of the coincidence event is determined. The distance between the transmitting and receiving stations is then calculated on the basis of the determined pulses.

Abstract:
A method for electrical control and/or regulation of the movement of an electrically-driven unit, in particular, a window winder for a sunroof of a motor vehicle, is disclosed. A correlation parameter for the operating force of the unit is measured for trapping protection and a switching off or reversing of an operating movement is carried out as trapping protection, when the correlation parameter for the operating force exceeds a threshold value which corresponds to a given trapping force. A filter for temporal filtering of the correlation parameter for the operating force of the unit is provided, whereby the filter is deactivated in the presence of given operating conditions. According to the invention, the decision on the activation and deactivation of the filter is achieved, depending on an alternating signal fraction of the measured correlation parameter, or another parameter proportional thereto. The motor current is preferably recorded as the correlation parameter for the operating force and a decision is made, based on a parameter characterising the size of the alternating current fraction and/or a parameter characterising the size of the alternating voltage fraction and/or a parameter characterising the rotational speed of the rotor, as to whether the directly detected motor current signal or the filtered motor current signal is used for calculation of the operating force.

Deactivation of the locking system is prevented if the key module allocated by means of a clear identification number from the evaluation unit is not in the immediate vicinity of the evaluation unit. Communication between the evaluation unit and the key module is carried out by transmitting data telegrams between transmitting and receiving stations. The aim of the invention is to determine the distance between the transmitting and receiving stations with high resolution. According to the novel method, a transmission signal (S1, S2) is respectively generated in the transmitting and receiving stations (1,2) and transmitted as a series of microwave pulses (Fp1, Fp2) having a predefined pulse repetition rate to the other respective transmitting and receiving station and received thereby in the form of a received signal. The pulse repetition frequencies of the transmission signals vary according to a predefined differential frequency value (Fd) which is preferably small in relation to the impulse repetition frequencies. Points of coincidence (t11, t12…; t21, t22) are determined in the transmitting and receiving station, corresponding to moments in time when the pulses of the transmission signal sent by the respective transmitting and receiving station and the received signal (E1, E2) coincide. The distance between the transmitting and receiving stations is then determined from said points of coincidence.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a simple, cost-effective and reliable method for protecting an electrical motor against thermal overloads. To this end, a motor equation for said electrical motor is defined, said equation combining at least one temperature-dependent parameter and at least one characteristic curve of said motor based on a model of the motor. The actual values of the at least one characteristic curve of the motor are determined during at least two consecutive measuring intervals of a measuring process. The value of the at least one temperature-dependent parameter of the motor for the measuring intervals of a measuring process is determined on the basis of the motor equations. The absolute value of the temperature of the electrical motor is determined on the basis of the motor equations which are derived from the measuring intervals of a measuring process taking into account the functional relationship between the at least one temperature-dependent parameter of the motor and the temperature. If the absolute temperature value of the electrical motor reaches a predetermined limit temperature, given measures concerning current conduction through the electrical motor are taken. The invention also relates to a method for protecting an electrical motor in an electrical drive unit for window lifter drive mechanisms.
