Method for controlling an adjusting movement of a vehicle closing element with collision avoidance for a lock region and anti-trap system

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling an adjusting movement of a vehicle closing element of a vehicle to be closed in a manner actuated by an external force, such as a tailgate lid, wherein an obstacle in the path of adjustment of the vehicle closing element can be detected by means of a capacitive anti-trap system in order to prevent this obstacle from being trapped, and the vehicle closing element has a locking part, via which the vehicle closing element can be locked in a closed position. An obstacle in a monitoring region around the locking part provided on the vehicle closing element can also be detected via the capacitive anti-trap system in order to prevent a collision of this locking part with an obstacle at least as the vehicle closing element closes.

1. A method for controlling movement of a vehicle closing element of a vehicle, the vehicle closing element configured to be moved into a closed position by an external force to close a body opening of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle closing element has a locking part for locking the vehicle closing element in the closed position, the method comprising:
detecting an obstacle in an adjustment path of the vehicle closing element moving to the closed position by using a capacitive anti-trap system; controlling the movement of the vehicle closing element using the capacitive anti-trap system such that an obstacle is prevented from being trapped between the vehicle closing element and a vehicle body defining body opening, and detecting an obstacle in a monitoring region around the locking part using the capacitive anti-trap system in order to prevent a collision of the locking part with the obstacle at least as the vehicle closing element moves towards the closed position, wherein the vehicle closing element comprises two different closing edges on the vehicle body on which each vehicle closing element rests in the closed position and wherein the locking part is located on one of the closing edges; and wherein at least two electrode pairs of the capacitive anti-trap system each comprise a transmitter electrode and a receiver electrode which each extend over at least a part of the two different closing edges such that an obstacle at least at one of the closing edges and an imminent collision of the locking part with the obstacle can be detected due to an electric capacitance of the electrode pair changing on account of the obstacle.
