Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-125184

  However, even when the vehicle door is not opened while the vehicle is running using the vehicle speed sensor, the driver accidentally operates the door switch to the open side, or the door switch is maintained on the open side. In this case, the vehicle door may be opened when the vehicle is stopped by a signal or the like. Therefore, the driver needs to pay attention so that the vehicle door does not open accidentally.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a door opening / closing control method and a door opening / closing control device that reduce a driver's attention and burden on opening / closing operations of a vehicle door.

The present invention includes a control unit having a permission mode for permitting the opening of the vehicle door and a prohibition mode for prohibiting the opening of the vehicle door, and opens the door switch so that the vehicle door opening signal is received while the vehicle is running. In this case, the control unit shifts from the permission mode to the prohibit mode and prohibits the opening of the vehicle door. When the vehicle stops, the control unit shifts to the permission mode via a reset operation, and the vehicle door opening signal If there is, open the vehicle door ,
The resetting operation relates to a door opening / closing control method characterized in that the door switch is an operation for bringing the door switch to the closing side of the vehicle door .

  In the present invention, the permission mode may be maintained when there is a vehicle door opening signal while the vehicle is decelerating at a predetermined speed or less and the brake pedal is depressed.

The present invention includes a door switch for opening and closing a vehicle door from a driver's seat, a detection means for detecting the speed of the vehicle, and a control unit for controlling the opening and closing of the vehicle door in response to a signal from the door switch and the detection means. A door opening and closing control device comprising:
The control unit includes a permission mode for permitting the opening of the vehicle door and a prohibition mode for prohibiting the opening of the vehicle door, and is configured to open the door switch so that the vehicle door opening signal is given while the vehicle is running. In this case, the mode is shifted from the permission mode to the prohibit mode to prohibit the opening of the vehicle door, and when the vehicle is stopped, the mode is shifted to the permission mode through a reset operation. Configured to release ,

  Thus, according to the present invention, when there is a vehicle door opening signal while the vehicle is running, the control unit shifts to the prohibit mode, so that the vehicle door can be opened even when the vehicle is stopped. As a result, the driver's attention to the opening / closing operation of the vehicle door can be reduced so that the vehicle door is not accidentally opened. In addition, since the control unit shifts to the permission mode via the reset operation when the vehicle is stopped, the vehicle door can be easily opened even in the prohibit mode, and as a result, the driver can open and close the vehicle door. The burden to pay can be reduced.

  If the reset operation is an operation for returning the door switch to the closing side of the vehicle door, the vehicle door can be easily opened, so that the burden on the driver for the opening and closing operation of the vehicle door can be further reduced. it can.

  If the vehicle door open signal is received when the vehicle is decelerating below the predetermined speed and the brake pedal is depressed, maintaining the permission mode allows the door switch to be operated before the vehicle stops and the vehicle Since the vehicle door can be opened immediately as the vehicle stops, the burden on the driver for opening and closing the vehicle door can be greatly reduced.

  According to the door opening / closing control method and door opening / closing control apparatus of the present invention described above, the prohibition mode is used to prohibit the opening of the vehicle door due to a driver's erroneous operation, and the permission mode facilitates the opening of the vehicle door. It is possible to achieve an excellent effect that the driver's attention and burden on the opening / closing operation can be reduced.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 4 show an embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle door 2 that opens and closes via a drive mechanism (not shown) in a vehicle 1 such as a bus, a door switch 3 that is disposed in a driver's seat, and a detection that detects the speed of the vehicle 1. Means 4, and a control unit 6 that receives signals from the door switch 3, the detection means 4, and the brake pedal 5 are provided.

  The door switch 3 is constituted by a toggle type, a lock type, a seesaw type, a momentary type, etc. arranged in the driver's seat, and is not particularly limited as long as the vehicle door 2 is opened and closed.

  The detection means 4 is composed of a vehicle speed sensor that determines the stop and running state of the vehicle 1, and is not particularly limited as long as it can determine the stop or running state of the vehicle 1.

  The control unit 6 includes a permission mode for permitting the opening of the vehicle door 2 and a prohibition mode for prohibiting the opening of the vehicle door 2, and receives signals from the door switch 3, the brake pedal 5, and the detection means 4 and performs arithmetic processing. An opening / closing signal is output to the drive mechanism of the vehicle door 2.

  The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

  When the opening / closing control of the vehicle door 2 is performed, the control unit 6 performs processing as shown in FIG. 2 based on the operation of the door switch 3 and the brake pedal 5 and the state of the vehicle 1 by the detection means 4.

  First, as a state of the speed of the vehicle 1, a state in which the speed is higher than a predetermined speed (in FIG. 2, X km or higher) according to a signal from the detection means 4, and a speed is lower than a predetermined speed (in FIG. 2, X km or lower) And a stop state (in FIG. 2, 0 km / h) are discriminated (step S1).

  Next, in the case where the speed is higher than a predetermined speed (in FIG. 2, X km or more), it is determined from the signal from the door switch 3 whether the door switch 3 is on the open side or the closed side. If the state of the door switch 3 is determined (step S3) and the speed is lower than a predetermined speed (Xkm / h in FIG. 2), whether the vehicle 1 is decelerating by a signal from the detection means 4 Shift to the determination stage during deceleration to determine whether or not (step S2), in the case of a stop state (0 km / h in FIG. 2), according to the signal from the door switch 3, whether the door switch 3 is on the open side, The process proceeds to a step of determining the state of the door switch 3 for determining whether it is the closed side (step S4).

  If the vehicle 1 is decelerating (YES) in the determining step during deceleration (step S2), the process proceeds to a step of determining whether or not the brake pedal 5 is depressed based on a signal from the brake pedal 5 (step S5). ) When the vehicle 1 is accelerating / constant (NO), the state of the door switch 3 is determined based on a signal from the door switch 3 to determine whether the door switch 3 is open or closed. (Step S3).

  In the step of determining the state of the door switch 3 (step S3), if the door switch 3 is on the closing side (the closing side), the process is terminated, and if the door switch 3 is on the opening side (the opening side), the vehicle stops. In some cases, the process shifts to a prohibit mode for prohibiting the opening of the vehicle door 2 (step S6).

  Here, in the step of determining whether or not the brake pedal 5 is being depressed (step S5), if the brake pedal 5 is depressed (YES), the process is terminated and the brake pedal 5 is released (NO). ), The process proceeds to a determination step of the state of the door switch 3 for determining whether the door switch 3 is on the open side or the close side based on a signal from the door switch 3 (step S3).

  On the other hand, if the door switch 3 is on the closing side (the closing side) in the step of determining the state of the door switch 3 in the stopped state (step S4), the process shifts to a permission mode that permits the opening of the vehicle door 2 when the vehicle is stopped. (Step S7), and when the door switch 3 is on the open side (open side), the process proceeds to a mode discrimination stage for discriminating whether or not the vehicle door 2 is in the permission mode when the vehicle 1 is stopped. (Step S8).

  In the mode determination step (step S8), if the prohibit mode (prohibited) is set, the process is terminated, and if the permit mode (permitted) is set, the vehicle door 2 can be opened. (Step S9).

  Further, the control unit 6 constantly performs the processing shown in FIG. 2, and even when the initial state is the permission mode or the prohibition mode, the transition to the prohibition mode (step S6) or the transition to the permission mode ( According to step S7), the transition or switching is performed as it is.

  This process will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

Running at the vehicle 1 hour Xakm (Xa> X), when operated in the open side by mistake the door switch 3 (if there is a release signal of the vehicle door 2) (shown at time t ₀ in FIG. 3) Through steps S1, S3, and S6, a transition is made to a prohibit mode in which opening of the vehicle door 2 is prohibited when the vehicle is stopped.

Then, when it starts deceleration depresses the brake pedal 5 (shown in FIG. 3 the time t _1), when the vehicle 1 becomes equal to or less than an hour X km, via step S1, S2, S5 prohibition mode To maintain.

Subsequently, when the vehicle 1 is stopped (the speed 0 km) (shown in Figure 3 at time _{t 2),} under conditions door switch 3 is open side, the steps S1, S4, S8 through, in inhibit mode In some cases, the opening of the vehicle door 2 is prohibited.

  Accordingly, when the door switch 3 is operated to the open side by a driver's erroneous operation while the vehicle 1 is traveling, or the vehicle 1 is stopped by a traffic control signal or the like, the door switch 3 is operated to the open side. Alternatively, even when the door switch 3 is maintained on the open side, the opening of the vehicle door 2 is prohibited.

  Further, when the driver wishes to open the vehicle door 2 while the vehicle 1 is stopped, the following reset operation is performed.

The vehicle 1 stopped, the door switch 3 is open side, since it is prohibited mode, to issue a closing signal of the vehicle door 2 (shown in FIG. 3 at time t ₃₎ to switch the door switch 3 once closed side, step Through S1, S4, and S7, a transition is made to a permission mode for permitting the opening of the vehicle door 2 when the vehicle is stopped, and the door switch 3 is switched to the open side again so as to issue an opening signal of the vehicle door 2 (in FIG. indicated by t _4), the through steps S1, S4, S8, S9, to open the vehicle door 2.

  Accordingly, the control unit 6 shifts to the permission mode via the reset operation, and the vehicle door 2 is opened.

  Then, the process of step S1, S2, S5 in which the vehicle 1 is below Xkm / h is demonstrated using FIG. 2, FIG.

Traveling vehicle 1 is at a speed Xakm (Xa> X), starts to decelerate depresses the brake pedal 5 (shown at time _{t 0} in FIG. 4), when the vehicle 1 becomes equal to or less than an hour X km (in FIG. 4 A ), The driver maintains the permission mode through steps S1, S2, and S5, assuming that the driver intends to stop the vehicle 1.

Then, in the case of switching the door switch 3 to the open side (shown in Figure 4 at time t _1), at a speed Xkm below (in FIG. 4 hour Xbkm), during deceleration, and conditions that have stepped on the brake pedal 5 Under the assumption that the driver still intends to stop the vehicle 1, the permission mode is maintained through steps S1, S2, and S5. Here, it is preferable that the vehicle speed of X km or less of the vehicle 1 is a low speed just before the vehicle 1 stops.

Further, when the vehicle 1 is stopped (0 km / h) (indicated by time t ₂ in FIG. 4), the vehicle door 2 is opened simultaneously with the stop through the steps S1, S4, S8, and S9 through the permission mode. To do.

  As a result, when the door switch 3 is opened under the condition that the vehicle is decelerating at a speed of X km or less and the brake pedal 5 is depressed (when the vehicle door 2 is opened), the permission mode is maintained. As soon as 1 stops, the vehicle door 2 is opened.

  Thus, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when there is an operation on the opening side of the door switch 3 while the vehicle 1 is traveling due to an erroneous operation of the driver or the like (there is an opening signal for the vehicle door 2). In the case), the control unit 6 shifts to the prohibit mode, so that even when the vehicle 1 is stopped by a traffic control signal or the like, the vehicle door 2 is prohibited from being opened. In order not to accidentally open, the driver's attention to the opening / closing operation of the vehicle door 2 can be reduced. When the vehicle 1 is stopped and the door switch 3 is closed in the prohibit mode (when the vehicle door 2 is closed), the control unit 6 shifts to the permission mode as a reset operation. Therefore, the vehicle door 2 can be easily opened even in the prohibit mode, and as a result, the burden on the driver for the opening / closing operation of the vehicle door 2 can be reduced.

  If the reset operation is an operation for returning the door switch 3 to the closing side of the vehicle door 2, the vehicle door 2 can be easily opened, so that a burden imposed on the opening / closing operation of the vehicle door 2 by the driver is further increased. Can be reduced.

  If the door switch 3 is operated to the open side while the vehicle is decelerating below the predetermined speed and the brake pedal 5 is depressed (when the vehicle door 2 is opened), the permission mode is maintained. Since the door switch 3 can be operated before the vehicle 1 is stopped and the vehicle door 2 can be opened immediately when the vehicle 1 is stopped, the burden on the driver for the opening and closing operation of the vehicle door 2 can be reduced. It can be greatly reduced.

  The door opening / closing control method and door opening / closing control device of the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the processing procedure may be changed if the effects of the present invention can be achieved. The reset operation is not limited to the switching of the door switch, other switches may be used, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
