A vehicular slide door apparatus includes a movable slide door, inside and outside door handles operable to initiate opening and closing movement of the door, a drive device that assists the slide door movement, and a remote control device that includes a door lock device and a switch. An open lever is operatively associated with the inside door handle to transmit operation of the inside door handle to the lock device, and a child-proof lever is operable to prevent operation of the inside door handle from being transmitted to the open lever. The switch is engageable by the open lever and is operatively associated with the drive device such that operation of the inside door handle produces selective actuation and non-actuation of the switch depending upon the position of the child-proof lever, with the actuation of the switch effecting driving operation of the drive device.

A door speed is detected at every predetermined detecting time, and a door position is calculated at a timing detected the door speed. A target speed according to the door position is obtained by a map. A microcomputer calculates a speed difference &Dgr;VD between the target speed and the actual or present speed, and an acceleration/deceleration value &Dgr;VC such as the speed difference between the door speed at the last detecting time and the present detecting time. A duty increasing value and the decreasing value of a PWM duty command value for adjusting a torque of the motor are set based on the speed difference &Dgr;VD and the acceleration/deceleration value &Dgr;VC, the motor is driven by the PWM duty command value based on the duty increasing value and the decreasing value.

Opening/closing control apparatus of opening/closing body for vehicle and method thereof

An opening and closing device for a sliding vehicle door that covers and uncovers a door opening portion defined in a vehicle body includes a driving mechanism installed in the sliding vehicle door and provided with an output drum and a cable wound by the output drum. The ends of the cable are operatively engaged with the vehicle body.

Opening and closing device for sliding vehicle door

A door closing apparatus that is adapted to be disposed on a vehicle door having a door inner panel and an indoor trim includes a door lock mechanism having a latch, a pawl and a latch lever fixedly secured to a rotary shaft of the latch, a bracket adapted to be supported in a fixed relationship with respect to the door panel, and a passive lever rotatably supported by the bracket and provided with a free end portion adapted to contact the latch lever, and a drive source which rotates the passive lever. A shaft portion rotatably supports the passive lever with respect to the bracket, and a nut threadedly engages the shaft portion and is removable from the shaft portion, with the nut being positioned at a side of the bracket facing the indoor trim. In the event the latch lever is unable to rotate (e.g., due to disconnection of an electrical wire or motor malfunction), the indoor trim of the vehicle door can be partially peeled off and the nut removed to manually move the passive lever.

Door closing apparatus provided with passive lever having access from an interior of a vehicle

A sliding door of a vehicle is braked in accordance with a position of the door. The braking is controlled such that the door speed is greater at the beginning of a door-opening or door-closing operation than at the end of the door-opening or door closing operation.

Open/close body control equipment and method

In a door closer device which requires at least three switches consisting of a half door detection switch, a full lock (completely closing) detection switch and a switch for detecting the return to the initial position, the number of switches can be reduced. Two cam switch operating portions are formed on a cam plate fixedly secured to an output shaft of a motor. The motor is stopped by making use of one operating portion and the motor is rotated in a reverse direction by making use of the other operating portion.

Door lock device for motor vehicles

A vehicular slide door apparatus includes a slide door which is movable between an open position and a closed position, and a drive device having a shaft which couples the slide door and an electric motor. When the motor is turned on, the slide door moves. The shaft is provided with a magnetic member which is sensed while the shaft is rotating by a sensor having a Hall element. This allows a direct determination of the shaft rotation so that such determination and successive determinations of the slide door movement become as accurate and precise as possible.

Drive device for vehicular slide doors

A door control device is adapted to smoothly shift the mode of operation to the door closer operation at the time the door is being moved by pushing in the door closing condition, without requiring a large size motor and without the need for increasing the strength of the drive medium. The door control device includes a closer for shifting a slide door from the half door condition to the fully closed condition, and a clutch mechanism which is interposed in a power transmission system between the slide door and a motor for driving the slide door. If the slide door is electrically driven, a clutch of the clutch mechanism is rendered operational to move the slide door and the closer operation is started after the sliding operation. The door control device further includes a pole switch which detects the condition of the slide door and a junction switch which establishes the connection when the condition of the slide door is between a condition right before the half door condition and the fully closed condition, and effects the supply of electricity to the closer. If the junction switch is connected in the midst of the closing operation of the slide door, the closer operation is started and then the motor is stopped when the slide door is moved a given distance.

Door control equipment

A drive device for a vehicle slide door apparatus includes a first rotation disc assembly mounted on a shaft to be rotated together with the shaft and a second rotation disc assembly mounted on the shaft to be rotatable relative to the shaft. The second rotation disc assembly is coupled to the first rotation disc assembly in detachable manner, and the second rotation disc assembly is operatively associated with an electric driving source. An output gear is mounted on the shaft so as to be rotated together with the shaft.

Drive device for a vehicle slide door

An electricity feeding device used in conjunction with a vehicle having a slide door mounted on the vehicle body includes a flexible conductive part having a curved portion, with the curved portion being displaced with sliding movement of the slide door for alternately opening and closing an opening area formed in a side wall of a vehicle body. The flexible conductive part also includes a wire providing an electrical connection between components in the slide door and the vehicle body. In addition, an insulating member covers the wire, and a steel-made belt extends along the insulating member so that the insulating member is mounted on the belt. The belt has a vertical cross-section with respect to a sliding direction of the slide door that possesses a concave surface.
