An opening-closing body control device is provided, including a switch unit provided between a power supply device and a drive source, a control unit configured to electrically connect or cut off the connection between the power supply device and the drive source by controlling a conductive state or a cut-off state of the switch unit, a voltage restriction unit configured to restrict a generated voltage of the drive source generated when the drive source is rotated by an external force to a predetermined voltage in a case in which the connection between the power supply device and the drive source is cut off, and a current detection unit configured to detect a generated current output from the drive source when the generated voltage is restricted to the predetermined voltage, wherein the control unit electrically connects the power supply device to the drive source by controlling the switch unit to be in the conductive state in response to the generated current being detected.

Opening-closing body control device

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.

Control device for opening and closing bodies

An armature assembly (4 or 15) for an electromagnetic coupling device has a stop plate (9), rubber dampers (11) and an armature (12). Stop plate (9), which is formed in a press from a single steel plate, has a boss (9b), flanges (9c) and a periphery wall (9a). The periphery wall (9a) reinforces the stop plate (9) and forms damper covers (9e) on the ends of the flanges (9c). The damper covers (9e) have a wall surface (9d) that surrounds the damper chamber except for an opening on one side of the damper cover facing toward the boss (9b). A rubber damper (11) with a torque pin (10) is mounted in each damper cover (9e). An armature (12) is secured to the torque pins (10) by staking. The opening in one side of the damper cover permits the rubber damper 11 adjacent to the opening to move toward the torque pin (10) when that portion of the rubber damper is subjected to a tension force. This movement of the rubber damper (11) reduces the maximum stress in the damper and increases damper life.
