Abstract

A vehicle door device includes: a braking control unit applying a braking force to a swing door of a vehicle by controlling an operation of a braking device; an action position detection unit detecting an action position of the swing door; and a vertical displacement detection unit detecting a vertical displacement of the swing door. The braking control unit does not execute braking control in a case where the action position of the swing door changes with the vertical displacement exceeding a predetermined gripping operation determination value, even in a case where an execution condition of braking control for applying the braking force is satisfied.

Claims (21)

1 . A vehicle door device comprising:

a braking control unit applying a braking force to a swing door of a vehicle by controlling an operation of a braking device;

an action position detection unit detecting an action position of the swing door; and

a vertical displacement detection unit detecting a vertical displacement of the swing door, wherein

the braking control unit does not execute braking control in a case where the action position of the swing door changes with the vertical displacement exceeding a predetermined gripping operation determination value, even in a case where an execution condition of braking control for applying the braking force is satisfied.

2 . The vehicle door device according to claim 1 , wherein

the vertical displacement detection unit is formed by a distortion sensor being disposed in a connecting member intervening between the swing door and a vehicle body.

3 . The vehicle door device according to claim 1 , wherein

the vertical displacement detection unit is provided with a distance sensor capable of detecting the vertical displacement in a non-contact manner.

4 . The vehicle door device according to claim 1 , wherein

the braking control unit executes the braking control on the execution condition that an action speed of the swing door exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

5 . The vehicle door device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a disturbance detection unit detecting input of disturbance changing the action position of the swing door, wherein

the braking control unit executes the braking control on the execution condition of the input of the disturbance.

6 . The vehicle door device according to claim 1 , wherein

the braking control unit holds the action position of the swing door by applying a braking force to the swing door in a case where the vertical displacement exceeding a door holding determination threshold value set to a value larger than the gripping operation determination value is detected.

7 . The vehicle door device according to claim 6 , wherein

the braking control unit increases the braking force over time in a case where the braking force is applied to the swing door so that the action position of the swing door is held.

8 . A vehicle door device comprising

a vertical displacement detection unit detecting a vertical displacement of a swing door provided in a vehicle; and

a braking control unit applying a braking force to the swing door in a case where the vertical displacement exceeding a predetermined holding determination threshold value is detected.
