The UI controller causes the display device to display a state image including an image indicative of the advancing-retracting state.

Some embodiments are directed to a vehicle door assembly that includes a vehicle door, which defines an interior and is connected to the motor by the linkage, such that actuation of the actuator engages the motor, which thereby moves the vehicle door via the linkage. The vehicle door assembly also includes a powered door override. At least a portion of the powered door override can be disposed within the interior of the vehicle door. The powered door override is configured to disconnect the linkage from the motor so as to isolate the motor from the vehicle door and thereby enable the vehicle door to be moved manually. An interior panel is connected to the vehicle door so as to cover at least a portion of the interior of the vehicle door, such that the powered door override is at least partially enclosed between the interior panel and the vehicle door.

A vehicle door system includes a door with a door module and a hinge module. The hinge module is attached to the vehicle body. The door module is attached to the hinge module. The hinge module includes a hinge bracket attached to the vehicle body, and a pair of arms extending from the hinge bracket that can pivot relative to the hinge bracket and a cross brace attached at the ends of the arms. The door module attaches to the cross brace. The door module moves along with the cross brace, which moves along with the arms as they pivot relative to the hinge bracket. The door module includes a latch mechanism at a bottom edge, with the latch mechanism engaging with the vehicle body. A lateral edge of the door may seal against a lateral edge of the second door without a latch interface.

The disclosure relates to a drive arrangement for movement of a tailgate, wherein at least one drive unit is provided, having two drive connections, wherein a first drive unit is motor and spring-operated and has a drive unit motor as well as a drive unit spring, respectively acting on the two drive connections associated with the first drive unit, wherein the first drive unit comprises a movement sensor, representing movement information regarding a movement between the drive connections, wherein a second drive unit is spring-operated and has a drive unit spring, acting on the two drive connections associated with the second drive unit, wherein a drive unit controller is provided, which detects a predetermined deviation of the sensor signal of the movement sensor from a predetermined normal signal corresponding to the normal condition as an error condition and upon detecting an error condition carries out an error routine.

A passage barrier includes two guide elements that cooperate such that they define a gate region, through which a person passes from an entrance region into a passage region. The passage barrier has a drive with a drive unit and an output unit. The drive unit, output unit, and barrier element are operatively connected such that the barrier element is movable via the drive unit into a position closing and a position opening the gate region. The output unit has a hollow shaft with outer and inner shell surfaces. The inner shell surface and drive unit are configured such that the inner shell surface surrounds the drive unit in sections, preferably completely and the hollow shaft has a barrier element mount formed for fixing a barrier element on the hollow shaft. The barrier element mount is arranged on the outer shell surface and formed integrally with the hollow shaft.

An automatic door operator is disclosed, including a main control circuit, an actuating unit configured to output torque, and a transmission device. The main control circuit controls operation of the actuating unit to drive a movement of a door leaf through the transmission device. The automatic door operator further includes: a DC power supply configured to supply a DC voltage VDD to the main control circuit; and a standby power switching circuit, connected in series between the DC power supply and the main control circuit, and configured to acquire a switching signal and conduct, or cut off after a preset time period Δt has been elapsed, electric current between the DC power supply and the main control circuit according to the switch signal. A method for driving the automatic door operator is also disclosed. The present disclosure realizes the purpose of saving energy and electricity of the automatic door operator, while increasing the lifetime of the main control circuit.

A door presenting device for a motor vehicle door element, having an electric drive unit and an actuating means, wherein the actuating means can be adjusted by means of the drive unit and a gear mechanism arranged between the actuating means and the drive unit, with the result that a movement of the door element can be enabled, and further having a locking means. The door element can be maintained in position by means of the locking means and the locking means can be electrically actuated, namely indirectly, preferably manually, actuated.

A spindle structure includes a lower rail mounted at a lower side of a vehicle body, a lower rail roller unit rollably connected to the lower rail, a lower rail swing arm rotatably connected to the lower rail roller unit and a door, a lower guide rail mounted on the door and configured to form a lower guide route, and a spindle assembly positioned at one end of the lower rail, the spindle assembly including a spindle connected to a fixing unit fixed to the vehicle body, the spindle having one end rollably connected to the lower guide rail, having a threaded portion formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and being configured to be movable in a threaded manner between the vehicle body and the door.

A window regulator includes a carrier plate to support a window glass of a vehicle, a guide rail along an ascending/descending direction of the window glass to slidably support the carrier plate, a wire to pull the carrier plate, a driving portion arranged at one end of the guide rail in the ascending/descending direction to drive the wire, and a turnaround portion arranged at an other end of the guide rail in the ascending/descending direction to turn the wire around. The wire arranged between the turnaround portion and the carrier plate is positioned shifted from the guide rail. The wire arranged between the driving portion and the turnaround portion is positioned on the guide rail to push and contact the guide rail.
