Definitions
- the invention relates to an anti-pinch system for a closure system associated with an aperture of a motor vehicle. More specifically, the invention relates to an anti-pinch system for an aperture of a motor vehicle wherein the anti-pinch system differentiates a number of zones.
- an anti-pinch assembly is used for a closure panel supported by the motor vehicle.
- the closure panel is movable between an open position and a closed position.
- a controller is operably connected to the closure panel for controlling the operation of the closure panel.
- a position sensor is connected to the controller for indicating the position of the closure panel as the closure panel moves between the open and closed positions.
- a capacitive sensor is mounted on the frame of the vehicle and connected to the controller for providing an output signal to the controller indicative of the presence of a foreign object in the path of the closure panel.
- the controller varies the function of the capacitive sensor through a plurality of threshold levels as a function of the position of the closure panel as indicated by the position indicator. In a critical zone of travel, namely, travel of the closure panel nearing the closed position, the capacitive sensor can be utilized in either a contact mode or a non-contact mode or a combination of both.
- Figure 1 is a schematic of one embodiment ofthe invention
- Figure 4 is a cross section of a portion of an aperture and a window pane disposed adjacent a graphic representation of zones
- closure panels 12 include windowpanes, doors, liftgates, sunroofs and the like. Apertures include window frames, door openings, sunroof openings and the like. For purposes of simplicity, the remainder of this disclosure will focus on the windowpane and window frame combination.
- a motor 24 receives electricity through a conductor 26 that, directly or indirectly, operatively extends between the power source 20 and the motor 24.
- the motor 24 rotates a shaft 28 operatively connected to the closure panel 12 in a conventional manner.
- the operative connection transforms the rotational energy into mechanical energy. More specifically, the electric output ofthe motor 24 into an opening and closing movement of the closure panel 12.
- the motor 24 optionally may be provided with separate motor controller. Operation ofthe motor 24 is effected by the motor controller.
- a position sensor 30 is disposed adjacent the motor 24. The position sensor 30 identifies the position of the shaft 28 of the motor 24 and generates a position signal.
- the capacitive sensor 32 is preferably a long conductor that extends out from and along a window frame 40 at a predetermined distance from the window frame 40.
- the predetermined distance creates a specific capacitance for the capacitive sensor 32 because the capacitive sensor 32 uses the window frame 40 as ground. Any changes in the distance between the capacitive sensor 32 and the window frame 40 changes the capacitance in a manner far greater than when an object extends through the window frame 40 but does not touch the capacitive sensor 32. This change in capacitance is monitored by the controller 18. If an object, regardless of its dielectric constant, contacts the capacitive sensor 32 enough to flex it out of its position, the change is detected by the controller 18, which will subsequently stop and/or reverse the closure ofthe window.
- the controller 18 When detection of an obstacle is made, the controller 18 then changes the motor signal being sent to the motor 24.
- the new motor control signal directs the motor 24 to either stop the closure panel 12 from moving or to reverse the direction in which the shaft 28 is rotating, retracting the closure panel 12. If the closure panel 12 is returned to its open position, the controller 18 normalizes the motor control signal and allows the motor 24 to operate according to normal operation. If the closure panel 12 remains in the same position, the anti-pinch assembly 10 will not allow the closure panel 12 to continue to its closed position until after the compare value is eliminated.
- the controller 18 applies a second predetermined threshold that has a magnitude and/or duration greater than the first predetermined threshold.
