Drive assembly of a closure element assembly

The disclosure relates to a drive assembly of a closure element assembly of a motor vehicle, wherein the drive assembly comprises a drive motor and, connected to the drive motor, a feed gearing for generating linear drive movements along a geometrical drive axis, wherein the drive motor and the feed gearing are arranged in a drive train of the drive assembly and the drive train extends between two mechanical drive connections for putting out drive movements and wherein the drive assembly comprises a brake for braking at least a portion of the drive train. It is proposed that the brake is designed such that the braking action of the brake is reduced with an increasing load in the drive train.

Adaptive door sealing using power cinching latch

The invention controls a power cinching function of a motor vehicle door latch in order to improve door seal performance under conditions wherein vibrations could otherwise reduce seal effectiveness. With the door latched closed in a flush condition, the vehicle speed is compared to a slow-speed threshold. When the vehicle speed is greater than the slow-speed threshold, then a vehicle vibration parameter is compared to a vibration threshold. When the vibration parameter is greater than the vibration threshold, then the power cinching function is activated to move the door to to a subflush condition which increases a compression of the seal between the door and a vehicle door frame. When the door is in the subflush condition, the vehicle speed continues to be compared to the slow-speed threshold, and when the vehicle speed is less than the slow-speed threshold then the door is released back to the flush condition.

Control device for opening and closing bodies

Provided is a control device for an opening and closing member configured to drive a driving source of an opening and closing member that opens and closes an opening section of a vehicle, and the control device for an opening and closing member includes a power generation detector configured to detect power generation of the driving source, and a controller configured to control driving of the driving source, wherein the controller is changed to a sleep state upon stoppage of the opening and closing member, and is activated from the sleep state to control a braking of the driving source when the power generation detector detects power generation of the driving source.

Method and mechanism for automatically detecting door or window faults

The present invention discloses a method for automatically detecting door or window faults, comprising the following steps: mounting a displacement sensor at at least one monitoring position of the door or window frame and leaf and/or door or window hardware to monitor a relative position change of the door or window frame and leaf and/or relative displacement of the hardware at said at least one monitoring position; and connecting the displacement sensor to a controller which judges whether the relative position change of the door or window frame and leaf and/or relative displacement of the hardware at said at least one monitoring position exceeds a displacement threshold, and thereby perform combined judgment for door or window faults. The present invention further discloses a mechanism for automatically detecting door or window faults. The present invention can automatically detect possible faults occurring during use of the door or window, and thereby eliminate hidden risks endangering the user and other persons' personal safety, and exhibit important social significance.
