Abstract

A control device for opening and closing bodies of vehicles comprises a driving device that drives an opening and closing body of a vehicle and a controlling unit that controls operation of the driving device. The controlling unit is configured so as to cause the opening and closing body to move while controlling the speed of the opening and closing body movement by executing speed feedback control and to set a plurality of control regions over the range of movement of the opening and closing body and change control properties for the speed feedback control in each of the control regions.

Claims (26)

1. A vehicle opening-closing body controller comprising:

a driver that drives an opening-closing body of a vehicle; and

a control unit that controls operation of the driver, wherein the control unit is configured to

move the opening-closing body while controlling movement speed of the opening-closing body by executing speed feedback control, and

set a plurality of control regions in a movement route of the opening-closing body and change a control characteristic of the speed feedback control for each control region, wherein

a movement path of the opening-closing body includes a curved portion,

the movement route of the opening-closing body includes a curved portion passage section, in which the opening-closing body passes through the curved portion,

the control regions include a control region that corresponds to the curved portion passage section, and

the control unit is configured to lower responsivity of the speed feedback control in the control region corresponding to the curved portion passage section from the responsivity of the speed feedback control before the opening-closing body reaches the control region corresponding to the curved portion passage section.

2. The vehicle opening-closing body controller according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to change the control characteristic of the speed feedback control by changing a control cycle, in which the speed feedback control is executed.

3. A vehicle opening-closing body controller comprising:

a driver that drives an opening-closing body of a vehicle; and

a control unit that controls operation of the driver, wherein the control unit is configured to

move the opening-closing body while controlling movement speed of the opening-closing body by executing speed feedback control, and

set a plurality of control regions in a movement route of the opening-closing body and change a control characteristic of the speed feedback control for each control region, wherein

the movement route of the opening-closing body includes a fixed-speed section, in which the movement speed of the opening-closing body is kept fixed, and a varying-speed section, in which the movement speed of the opening-closing body is gradually varied,

the control regions include a first control region that corresponds to the fixed-speed section and a second control region that corresponds to the varying-speed section, and

the control unit is configured to increase responsivity of the speed feedback control in the second control region from responsivity of the speed feedback control of the first control region,

a movement path of the opening-closing body includes a curved portion,

the movement route of the opening-closing body includes a curved portion passage section, in which the opening-closing body passes through the curved portion,

the control regions include a third control region that corresponds to the curved portion passage section, and

the control unit is configured to lower the responsivity of the speed feedback control in the third control region from the responsivity of the speed feedback control before the opening-closing body reaches the third control region.

4. The vehicle opening-closing body controller according to claim 3 , wherein the varying-speed section is a deceleration section, in which the opening-closing body is decelerated.

5. The vehicle opening-closing body controller according to claim 4 , wherein

the fixed-speed section follows the deceleration section, and

the curved portion passage section traverses the deceleration section and the fixed-speed section.
