| 发明名称 | Vehicle door swing governor | ||
| 摘要 | A vehicle door swing governor is positioned between a door and a body of a vehicle. The door swing governor includes a motor and a controller for controlling the mechanical resistance applied by the motor to the door so as to control velocity of the door swing. The mechanical resistance applied to the door is a function of the velocity of the swing of the door. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A vehicle door swing governor positioned between a door and a body of a vehicle, the governor comprising: an electric motor operatively coupled to the door and configured to function as a generator to apply a variable mechanical resistance; and a controller configured to control the mechanical resistance applied by the electric motor to the door in response to a voltage generated by the motor due to a swing of the door induced by an applied load, wherein the mechanical resistance applied to the door is a function of the velocity of the swing, wherein the swing of the door causes the electric motor to rotate in a first direction and generates the voltage, and the controller detects the voltage generated by the electric motor. | ||
