Abstract:
A motor car (10) has windows (28, 49) which can have a first H 1 fully closed position and a lower H 2 position in which water tightness is still provided but opening of a frameless window assembly/door assembly can be achieved more quickly from the point in time in which the door handle 44, 46) is operated. The Hi position may be selected as the vehicle accelerates above a given speed and the H 2 position may be selected when the vehicle door is closed, and the window may also have a short-drop H 3 lower re-spool H 4 position or in the case of a rear window a three quarter lowered H 5 position.
Abstract:
Verfahren zum Betreiben einer elektromechanischen Verstellvorrichtung, mit einem Stellteil (1), das angetrieben von einem Motor (2), den eine Steuereinrichtung (4) steuert, abhängig von einer manuellen Vorgabe an einem Bedienelement (6) der Steuereinrichtung (4), zwischen einer ersten Endposition (21) und einer zweiten Endposition (20) verstellbar ist, wobei die Steuereinrichtung (4) dazu eingerichtet ist, aus zugeleiteten Gebersignalen (17) eines Gebermittels (5) positionsgenau ein Blockieren einer Verstellbewegung zu erkennen, wobei man jeweils durch eine am Bedienelement (6) vorgenommene Benutzerhandlung bewirkt, dass das Stellteil (1) durch eine erste zur ersten Endposition (21) gerichtete Verstellbewegung bis zu einer Position verstellt wird, an der ein mechanisches Blockieren eintritt, um eine Referenzposition zu ermitteln, und dass das Stellteil (1) durch eine zweite Verstellbewegung in die zweite Endposition (20) verstellt wird, um mittels eines in der Steuereinrichtung (4) bereitgehaltenen Prüfprogramms die Validität der zuvor ermittelten Referenzposition zu prüfen, wobei das Prüfprogramm in Abhängigkeit des Prüfergebnisses entscheidet, ob ein automatischer Betriebsmodus, bei dem ein am Bedienelement (6) ausgelöster Verstellvorgang selbsttätig abläuft, frei geschaltet oder gesperrt wird.
Abstract:
A system and method for coordinating movement of a powered sliding door module and an access ramp for a vehicle. An OEM key fob is modified to send a non-OEM signal when a passenger side sliding door button is pressed. A non-OEM controller receives the non-OEM signal and, depending on whether the passenger side sliding door is opened or closed, and whether the access ramp is stowed or deployed, sends the OEM signal to open the door before deploying the ramp, or delays sending the OEM signal until the ramp is stowed. In another embodiment, an OEM receiver is modified to receive a non-OEM signal and the controller is configured to receive the OEM signal and send or delay sending of the non- OEM signal depending on the condition of the door and ramp.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for detecting an automobile's window regulating status by using a window control switch, a central controller, which receives window regulating requests from the window control switch, sends instructions to windows concerned and makes queries to window motors concerned regarding each window's regulating status; if a concerned window fails to execute a relevant instruction correctly, the central controller actuates an alarm to send out an alarming signal.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einklemmschutzvorrichtung für bewegliche Teile eines Fahrzeugs mit einem Bedienschalter für ein oder mehrere zu bewegende Teile, einem oder mehreren, dem Bedienschalter zugeordneten Aktuatoren, einer Steuereinrichtung für den oder die Aktuatoren, die bei Betätigung des Bedienschalters ein Schließsignal von dem Bedienschalter erhält und darauf hin die Bewegung startet, und mit einer mit der Steuereinrichtung gekoppelten Einrichtung zur Ermittlung einer Unregelmäßigkeit bei der Bewegung des beweglichen Teils. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Steuergerät derart ausgestaltet ist, dass bei dem Detektieren einer Unregelmäßigkeit bei der Bewegung des beweglichen Teiles eine Fehlerdiagnosefunktion zur Ermittlung eines Bedienschalterdefektes aktiviert wird, wobei die Fehlerdiagnosefunktion zumindest ein Signal des Bedienschalters überwacht.
Abstract:
A window actuation assembly (10) for a vehicle (5) which is structured to automatically lower at least one, but preferably all of the windows (6) of a vehicle (5) in the event that a vehicle (5) becomes partially or totally submerged in a body of water and regardless if the orientation of the vehicle (5) is up-right, inverted, on its side, etc. One or more fluid sensors are located strategically throughout the various portions of the vehicle (5) and are specifically structured activate a drive assembly for the lowering of the windows (6) upon sensing a predetermined amount of water within an associated proximity of the vehicle, to the extent that the one or more sensors are themselves at least partially submerged. The sensors are further structured not to be activated in the unlikely event that liquid inadvertently is spilled upon or otherwise applied thereto. The one or more sensors may be associated with a single drive assembly and/or independent drive assemblies associated with each of the windows (6) such that only one, or more preferably all of the windows (6) may be lowered in an emergency, submerged condition of the vehicle (5). The windows (6) may be restricted from being raised into the normally closed position once they have been lowered under emergency circumstances, in order to prevent inadvertent closing of the windows (6) by an occupant of the vehicle (5) suffering from injury or being otherwise disoriented because of the emergency.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system and a method for simulating and evaluating management algorithms of a panel or mobile window powered by an electric motor, with an anti-jam safety system and a program for the execution thereof. It comprises a modular structure that includes a series of models representing the electrical parameters of the electric motor, the behavior of the mobile panel, the incidence of a possible obstacle and an actuation and control methodology implemented by a sequential state machine related to the starting, stopping and/or sense of displacement of the panel, and a module for evaluating the algorithm to be validated, to which the power supplied to the motor and its angular speed is fed, said module analyzing these values, their time evolution and the combinations of said values. Said models and modules are implemented in a high-level programming language.
Abstract:
A window control system including at least one operator actuator and a housing, the operator actuator mounted and movable in the housing, and where the relative position of the operator actuator in the housing generates a position command signal to a window control circuit for moving the window in response to the position command.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating an adjusting drive in a motor vehicle. Said method comprises the following steps: measuring the actuating force exerted by the adjusting drive, comparing said actuating force with a limit force, reversing the adjusting drive when the limit force is exceeded. According to a first method, the measured values of the actuating force are filtered before they are compared in order to suppress any rapid changes of the actuating forces in relation to the distance already covered by the adjusting drive, while the vehicle is moving. According to a second method, said measured values are not filtered at all while the vehicle is stationary with the engine switched off. Rapid changes are therefore suppressed less in the second method than in the first method. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the inventive method.
