Abstract

A sliding door driving device includes: a power source; a motor that outputs power to open and close the door, a motor driving circuit that connects the power source and the motor to each other; and a motor control device that controls the motor driving circuit. The motor control device includes an inverter that converts DC power supplied from the power source into AC power, and a shunt resistor disposed between the power source and the inverter. The position detection unit of the motor control device obtains the rotation angle of the motor based on the output of the shunt resistor.

Claims (23)

1 . A sliding door driving device comprising:

a power source;

a motor configured to output power to open and close the sliding door;

a motor driving circuit that connects the power source and the motor to each other; and

a control device configured to control the motor driving circuit,

wherein the motor driving circuit comprises:

a power conversion device configured to convert DC power supplied from the power source into AC power; and

a shunt resistor disposed between the power source and the power conversion device, and

wherein the control device obtains a rotation angle of the motor based on a voltage generated in the shunt resistor by the current flowing through the power conversion device.

2 . The sliding door driving device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the shunt resistor is disposed between a negative electrode side of the power source and a negative electrode side of the power conversion device.

3 . The sliding door driving device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device is configured to control the power conversion device according to the rotation angle of the motor obtained based on the output of the shunt resistor.

4 . The sliding door driving device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device is configured to determine whether or not foreign matter is pinched based on the output of the shunt resistor.

5 . The sliding door driving device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the motor further comprises a position sensor configured to output a signal that corresponds to a rotation position of a rotor, and

wherein the control device is configured to:

obtain a position of the sliding door based on the output of the position sensor; and

determine whether or not foreign matter is pinched in a case where the output of the shunt resistor reaches a threshold value that corresponds to the position of the sliding door.

6 . The sliding door driving device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the motor driving circuit comprises a switch that is disposed between a positive electrode side of the power source and a positive electrode side of the power conversion device and is configured to open and close a power transmission path between the power source and the power conversion device, and

wherein the control device is configured to execute a first brake control comprising charging the power source in a closed state of the switch in a case where the output of the shunt resistor reaches a first predetermined value when the motor is not driven.
