Method for the automatic operation of a vehicle door and device for carrying out said method
First Claim
1. A method for automatically actuating a vehicle door (1), in particular a side door or a tailgate of a motor vehicle, from a first into a second position by means of a drive (5;
-
26) which is connected to a control device (6) and acts on the vehicle door (1) via at least one transmission element (12;
30), characterized in that, after the drive (5;
26) is activated, the speed at which the vehicle door (1) is pivoted from its first into its second position is measured continuously or at predetermined time intervals within a predetermined pivoting-angle range (100) of the vehicle door (1) with the aid of at least one sensor (14;
31), in that the actual speed of the vehicle door (1) is compared with a predetermined, angle-dependent desired value curve, and in that, if the actual speed deviates from the desired value curve, the control device (6) is used to regulate the drive (5;
26) to bring the speed of the vehicle door (1) to the predetermined desired value, so that said vehicle door is moved into its second position at the speed predetermined by the desired value curve.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the automatic operation of a vehicle door (1), in particular a side door, or a rear hatch of a motor vehicle, from a first to a second position, by means of a drive (5; 26), connected to a controller (6), which acts on the vehicle door (1), by means of at last one transfer element (12; 30). The invention further relates to a device for carrying out said method. According to the invention, an automatically operated vehicle door (1) in the first position thereof, may be simply swung into the second position thereof at the same speed, even with differing street inclinations where the vehicle is standing, whereby, after activating the drive (5), the speed of the relevant vehicle door (1) is measured within a given angular range and compared with a set value curve. So long as the measured actual value for speed of the vehicle differs from the given set value curve, the speed of the door is changed until the speed as given by the set value curve is achieved.
