Abstract

A control method of a powered sliding device for sliding a vehicle sliding door slidably attached to a vehicle body with the power of a motor in the door opening direction and in the door closing direction, wherein when a first abnormal sliding of the sliding door is detected during the door closing sliding of the sliding door by the door closing rotation of the motor, the motor is rotated again in the door closing direction after being stopped for a specified time, and after that, the re-judgment of the abnormal sliding is performed, and when the abnormal sliding is again detected in the re-judgment, safety processing operation is performed.

Claims

1. A control method of a powered sliding device for sliding a vehicle sliding door slidably attached to a vehicle body in the door opening direction and in the door closing direction by power of a motor, wherein when a first abnormal sliding of the sliding door is detected during the door closing sliding of the sliding door by door closing rotation of the motor, the motor is again rotated in the door closing direction after being stopped for a specified time, and after that, re-judgment of the abnormal sliding is performed, and when the abnormal sliding is again detected in the re-judgment, safety processing operation is performed.

2. A control method of a powered sliding device for sliding a vehicle sliding door slidably attached to a vehicle body in the door opening direction and in the door closing direction by power of a motor, wherein when a first abnormal sliding of the sliding door is detected during the door closing sliding of the sliding door by door closing rotation of the motor, vehicle speed measurement is performed, and when the measured vehicle speed is less than a specified speed, safety processing operation is immediately performed, and when the measured vehicle speed is the specified speed or more, the motor is again rotated in the door closing direction after being stopped for a specified time, and after that, re-judgment of the abnormal sliding is performed, and when the abnormal sliding is again detected in the re-judgment, safety processing operation is performed.

3. A control method of a powered sliding device for sliding a vehicle sliding door slidably attached to a vehicle body in the door opening direction and in the door closing direction by power of a motor, wherein when a first abnormal sliding of the sliding door is detected during the door closing sliding of the sliding door by door closing rotation of the motor, a first vehicle speed measurement is performed, and when the first measured vehicle speed is less than a specified speed, safety processing operation is immediately performed, and when the first measured vehicle speed is the specified speed or more, re-measurement of the vehicle speed is performed after stopping the motor for a specified time, and when the re-measured vehicle speed is less than the specified speed, clamping processing control is immediately performed, and when the re-measured vehicle speed is the specified speed or more, the motor is again rotated in the door closing direction, and after that, re-judgment of the abnormal sliding is performed, and when the abnormal sliding is again detected in the re-judgment, safety processing operation is performed.
