VEHICULAR POWER DOOR SENSING AND OPERATING SYSTEM
20230089000 · 2023-03-23 ·

A vehicular access system includes a sensing panel at a door of a vehicle including a panel, at least one capacitive touch sensor for sensing proximity of a user at a touch sensing region of the panel, and a radar sensor sensing exterior of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes a data processor for processing sensor data captured by the radar sensor to detect presence of objects exterior of the vehicle. At least one indicator visually indicates status of the system. Responsive to receiving an open door command, (i) the at least one indicator illuminates and (ii) the system determines, using the sensor data, whether a detected object is within a swing path of the door. The system, responsive to determining that no object is within the swing path of the door, opens the door.

Anti-trap system for an open roof assembly

An open roof assembly is configured for providing a closable roof opening in a vehicle roof. Thereto, the open roof assembly comprises a closure member that is moveably arranged for opening and closing the roof opening and a detection system for detecting an object in the roof opening. The detection system is configured to provide an entrapment signal if a foreign object is detected in the roof opening, when the closure member is moving and a collision may occur. The detection system is further configured to provide an operating signal, when an object is detected performing a predefined action. Based on the operating signal a control unit may execute an associated function.

Driving Device And Vehicle Window Lifter Comprising Same
20170328113 · 2017-11-16 ·

A driving device and a vehicle window lifter are disclosed. The driving device includes a motor and a gearbox. The motor includes a stator and a rotor. The gearbox includes a housing and a gear. The motor is mounted in the housing and includes a rotary shaft driving the gear. The housing supports the motor through a soft support structure. Two bearings are mounted in the housing at the same side of the stator for supporting and determining an orientation of the rotary shaft. Over-constraint to the rotary shaft is eliminated by reducing the number of the rigid support points between the rotary shaft and housing. The soft connection between the motor and housing can avoid or reduce motor vibrations transferred to the gearbox.

ANTI-PINCHING WINDOW

A window can be used to detect objects located within an opening. A structure can define the opening. The window can be operatively positioned within the opening. The window can be movable to selectively open and close the opening. The window can include an optical grating operatively positioned near a closing edge of the window. A light source configured to emit light toward the optical grating. A detector operatively positioned to acquire spectroscopic data of the light emitted from the light source after the light has interacted with the optical grating. A processor can be operatively connected to the detector. The processor can be configured to: determine a temperature based on the spectroscopic data; determine, based on the temperature, whether an object is located in the opening; and responsive to determining that an object is located in the opening, control a movement of window.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media may be configured to control wind up of windows. A window of a vehicle may be controlled to start a window closing motion. Interior activity information for the vehicle may be obtained. The interior activity information may characterize activity inside the vehicle. A window obstruction event for the window may be detected based on the interior activity information. The window obstruction event may include an object obstructing the window closing motion. Responsive to detection of the window obstruction event, the window closing motion may be stopped before the window touches the object.

VEHICLE SLIDING CLOSURE NON-CONTACT OBSTABLE DETECTION SYSTEM
20200208455 · 2020-07-02 ·

A non-contact obstacle detection (NCOD) system for an opening in a vehicle includes a cover panel, such as a glass pane, slidable between opened and closed positions within the opening. The system includes one or more infrared time-of-flight (IR-TOF) sensors which measure the length of a beam of infrared light by measuring the time that the infrared light in the beam takes to travel the length of the beam and to reflect back to the sensor. The IR-TOF sensors may be configured to provide a beam of light along either the side edge of the frame parallel to the sliding direction or a terminal edge generally transverse to the sliding direction. Methods are provided for detecting obstacles within the opening of the frame by controllers using the lengths of beams from each of those different beam configurations, and for self-calibrating the system.
