Abstract

A door opening and closing device includes: a door opening and closing drive unit capable of opening and closing a door with respect to a vehicle body; a detection unit configured to detect a plurality of detection objects around the door; a memory part configured to store a detection result of the plurality of detection objects which are detected by the detection unit; and a control unit configured to perform an open/close control of the door by way of the door opening and closing drive unit. The control unit performs an open/close control of the door based on a detection result of the detection unit and a plurality of stored information stored in the memory part.

Claims (15)

1. A door opening and closing device comprising:

a door opening and closing drive unit capable of opening and closing a door with respect to a vehicle body;

a detection unit configured to detect, at a same time, a plurality of detection objects within a detection range, the detection range being set around the door;

a memory part configured to store a plurality of detection results corresponding to the plurality of detection objects, respectively, which are detected by the detection unit;

a control unit configured to perform a control of the door by the door opening and closing drive unit based on the plurality of detection results and a plurality of stored information stored in the memory part; and

a determination part configured to determine whether a first detection object among the plurality of detection objects existing within the detection range is an object with a set movement or an object that is an obstacle, based on a detection result,

wherein the control unit performs the control of the door by way of the door opening and closing drive unit when the determination part determines that the first detection object has the set movement.

2. The door opening and closing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a measurement part configured to measure a first distance from the detection unit to the first detection object, wherein

the first distance information of the first detection object measured by the measurement part is stored in the memory part, and

the determination part determines whether the first detection object is the object with the set movement or the object that is the obstacle based on a change amount in the first distance from the detection unit to the first detection object.

3. The door opening and closing device according to claim 2 , wherein the first distance information of the first detection object is stored in the memory part, and

wherein second distance information of a second detection object among the plurality of detection objects existing within the detection range is additionally stored in the memory part.

4. The door opening and closing device according to claim 2 , wherein the determination part determines that the first detection object is the object that is the obstacle when a state where a difference between a second distance from the detection unit to the first detection object which is measured by the measurement part and the first distance information of the first detection object measured by the measurement part that is stored in the memory part is continuously detected as smaller than a set threshold value.

5. The door opening and closing device according to claim 4 , wherein the determination part excludes a detection result of the first detection object which the determination part continuously determines as the object that is the obstacle, and determines an object with set movement based on another detection result of another detection object among the plurality of detection objects.

6. The door opening and closing device according to claim 5 , wherein the determination part, when distances of detection objects among the plurality of detection objects which are measured by the measurement part do not correspond with distance information of the object that is the obstacle, sets the detection objects as objects with set movement.
