20100156139 | Device and Method for Controlling the Movement of a Both Motorically and Manually Movable Vehicle Part - A device for controlling the movement of a both motorically and manually movable vehicle part comprises a drive unit controllable in its rotational speed for motorically moving the vehicle part, a coupling device for coupling the drive unit with the vehicle part and a control unit which controls the drive unit and the coupling device such that during manually moving the vehicle part the coupling device couples the drive unit with the vehicle part if the vehicle part has reached a pre-defined position. For this, the control unit ( | 06-24-2010 |
20140165469 | DRIVE ARRANGEMENT OF THE MOTORIZED ADJUSTMENT OF A CLOSURE ELEMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - The invention relates to a drive arrangement for the motorized adjustment of a closure element of a motor vehicle, wherein the drive arrangement, in the installed state, is coupled in drive terms to the closure element. It is proposed for the drive arrangement to have at least one drive, which is intended for generating drive movements and in or on which is arranged an acoustic indicator for supplying acoustic feedback to the user. | 06-19-2014 |
20140167445 | DOOR MODULE WITH INTEGRATED SENSOR ELECTRODE - A door module for a door of a motor vehicle. The door module has a support for receiving a window lifter drive and fixing points at which the door module can be fixed to the corresponding door. At least one sensor electrode of a capacitive and/or inductive control device is attached to the support in order to contactlessly operate an actuator in the motor vehicle. | 06-19-2014 |
20150267454 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ADJUSTING MOVEMENT OF A VEHICLE CLOSING ELEMENT WITH COLLISION AVOIDANCE FOR A LOCK REGION AND ANTI-TRAP SYSTEM - The invention relates to a method for controlling an adjusting movement of a vehicle closing element of a vehicle to be closed in a manner actuated by an external force, such as a tailgate lid, wherein an obstacle in the path of adjustment of the vehicle closing element can be detected by means of a capacitive anti-trap system in order to prevent this obstacle from being trapped, and the vehicle closing element has a locking part, via which the vehicle closing element can be locked in a closed position. An obstacle in a monitoring region around the locking part provided on the vehicle closing element can also be detected via the capacitive anti-trap system in order to prevent a collision of this locking part with an obstacle at least as the vehicle closing element closes. | 09-24-2015 |
20150275561 | METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A CAPACITIVE ANTI-TRAP SYSTEM AND ANTI-TRAP SYSTEM - The present invention relates to methods for controlling a capacitive anti-trap system of a vehicle. At least two transmission electrodes and one reception electrode of the capacitive anti-trap system are used for detecting an obstacle, and an electrical field is generated by a pair comprising transmission electrode and reception electrode by actuation of the respective transmission electrode by alternating electric current, said electrical field being influenced by an obstacle such that an electrical capacitance is measurably changed. A changing electrical capacitance is determinable on the basis of a signal received via the reception electrode and this signal is evaluated by means of an electronic evaluation unit at least during closing of the vehicle closing element in order to determine the presence of an obstacle in the displacement path of the vehicle closing element. | 10-01-2015 |
20150300070 | METHOD FOR TESTING THE OPERATION OF AN ANTI-TRAP SYSTEM AND DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE - The present invention relates to a method for testing the operation of a capacitive anti-trap system for an adjustable vehicle closing element actuated by external force, such as a side door, a window, a sunroof or a tailgate, by means of which a body opening of a vehicle can be locked in a closed position and that is can be moved into a closed position by means of a motorized drive unit. By means of the capacitive anti-trap system, the trapping of an obstacle is detectable when closing the vehicle closing element by evaluating an electrical capacitance that is changed by the obstacle. The electrical capacitance which also changes when the vehicle closing element is opened is evaluated on the basis of at least one measured value in order to test the proper operation of the anti-trap system. | 10-22-2015 |
