OPENING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

An opening system for a vehicle includes a frame having an opening, an opening member that is movable relative to the frame between a closed position and an open position, and a retaining device. The retaining device includes a ferromagnetic element provided on the opening member, a magnet provided on the frame and magnetically coupled to the ferromagnetic element when the opening member is in the closed position, an electromagnet coupled to the magnet, and a control unit having a control module that controls the electromagnet upon reception of a control command. The control unit includes a detection module which, in the absence of a control command being received by the control module, is enabled for the detection of a signal, originating from the electromagnet, representative of the opening member reaching the closed position.

1. An opening system for a vehicle, comprising:
a frame having an opening;
an opening member that is movable relative to the frame between a closed position where it obstructs the opening of said frame and an open position where it unobstructs the opening of said frame; anda retaining device comprising:
a ferromagnetic element provided on one of the frame and opening member;a permanent magnet provided on the other of the frame and opening member and magnetically coupled to the ferromagnetic element when the opening member is in the closed position so as to apply a closure force;an electromagnet magnetically coupled to one of the ferromagnetic element and permanent magnet; anda control unit comprising a control module electrically coupled to the electromagnet and adapted to control the electromagnet upon reception of a control command, wherein the control unit further comprises a detection module which, in the absence of the control module receiving a control command, is enabled for the detection of a signal, originating from the electromagnet, representative of the opening member reaching the closed position, and for generating information indicating that the opening member is in the closed position.
