Abstract:
In a method for the commissioning of a door or window closer which comprises an energy accumulator, a damping device with an electric motor being operable as a generator and a transmission element, the leaf is opened and/or closed at least once in a teach-in process, the angular position of the motor shaft is detected during opening and/or closing, a functional relationship is determined between the angular position of the motor shaft and an angular position of the rotatable leaf at least over an area of the opening width of the leaf and the functional connection is automatically taken as a basis for a subsequent actuation of the electric motor for the damping of the closing movement of the leaf.

In an aspect, a vehicle door control system is provided for a vehicle having a vehicle body and a vehicle door. The door control system includes a check arm mounted to one of the vehicle body and the vehicle door, a check arm holder at least a portion of which is mounted to the other of the vehicle body and the vehicle door, and a controller. The controller is programmed to apply a resistive force on the vehicle door based on a determination of whether an obstacle is approaching the vehicle, data relating to the obstacle, and a position of the vehicle door.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive arrangement for the motorized adjustment of an adjustment element of a vehicle, wherein at least one drive comprising an electric drive motor and a drive control means and is connected to a supply, wherein the drive is designed in a non-self-locking manner, the drive motor operates as a generator and generates a generator voltage, wherein the drive control means has a driver unit for supplying electrical power to the at least one drive. The invention proposes that the drive control means has a switching device and has a detection device for detecting a non-motorized adjustment of the adjustment element, and that the drive control means, when a predetermined, non-motorized adjustment of the adjustment element is detected, connects the supply voltage to the supply connections of the driver unit by means of the switching device in one switching operation.

Abstract:
Provided is a heating cooker which allows a door on a cooking chamber to be opened without direct handling of the door by a user. The heating cooker includes a body having a cooking chamber defined therein, a door hingably mounted to the body to open and close the cooking chamber, a door holder positioned in the body to hold the door and keep the cooking chamber closed by the door, and a hinge part connected between the door and the body to guide rotation of the door such that when the door is released from the door holder, the door is automatically opened.
Abstract:
A brake member for a slide gate mechanism which includes a slanted drive mechanism engaging face adapted to engage at least one drive wheel of the drive mechanism for the slide gate so as to gradually brake the gate.The preferably a pair of opposed drive wheels are adapted to frictionally engage a drive rail on a gate so as to provide a slide gate mechanism. The pair of opposed wheels are spring biased toward the railing to ensure adequate frictional engagement with the rail. Limit switches are disposed to deactivate operation of the drive mechanism and a pair of brake members are disposed so as to positive a slanted drive mechanism engaging face toward the drive wheels of the drive mechanism such that when utilized the brake member operates to gradually brake the gate as the slanted drive mechanism engaging face engages at least one of the drive wheels. Further, the present invention includes a method for controlling the movement of the gate member by providing a switch engaging member on the gate which is adapted to deactivate the operation of the drive mechanism for the gate and further positioning the brake member at a point on the gate after the point at which the gate will normally stop movement. In this manner the brake member operates in emergency situations where the gate does not stop prior to the brake member.
Abstract:
A method for driving an electromechanical sliding door in a transportation vehicle, wherein the sliding door has an adjusting mechanism with a rolling carriage guided in a guide rail and a first electric drive motor. A fixing mechanism with a second electric drive motor and also a locking mechanism is also provided, which locking mechanism allows the rolling carriage to be arrested in any desired position. Here, the locking mechanism is driven by the second electric drive motor. The method may include driving the second electric drive motor with an input voltage which lies below a threshold voltage for tripping the locking mechanism, continuously increasing the input voltage for the second electric drive motor, and locking the locking mechanism when the input voltage for the second electric drive motor exceeds the threshold voltage for tripping the locking mechanism.
Abstract:
An operation assistance system for assisting a user in operating an opening and closing portion includes: a sensor configured to detect an acceleration applied to the opening and closing portion; a drive unit configured to generate a driving force for displacing the opening and closing portion; a manual operation detection unit configured to detect, based on the acceleration detected by the sensor, a manual operation of displacing the opening and closing portion when the user applies a force to the opening and closing portion; a state detection unit configured to detect, based on an opening degree of the opening and closing portion, whether the opening and closing portion is in a small opening degree state in which the opening and closing portion has a first opening degree or less, or in an intermediate holding state in which the opening and closing portion is held at a second opening degree larger than the first opening degree; an obstacle detection unit configured to detect a distance from the opening and closing portion to an obstacle present in an area in an opening direction of the opening and closing portion; and a drive control unit configured to control the drive unit to reduce or increase an operation force of the user required for the manual operation based on a detection result of the manual operation detection unit, a detection result of the state detection unit, and a detection result of the obstacle detection unit. When the user performs an opening operation of opening the opening and closing portion in the small opening degree state and the obstacle is present within a predetermined distance from the opening and closing portion, the drive control unit controls the drive unit to generate a first braking force for increasing the operation force required for the opening operation, and when the user performs a first additional opening operation of further opening the opening and closing portion in the intermediate holding state, the drive control unit controls the drive unit to generate a second braking force that is a force for increasing the operation force required for the first additional opening operation and is smaller than the first braking force.
