Process for controlling lateral vehicle door - involves using electric motors to actuate door, window, mirror and lock and microprocessor to coordinate their operation

摘要

The process involves opening and closing the vehicle door (2) by swinging it upwards or downwards about a vertical axis (13) in response to being driven by an electric motor 911) and roller (15). The door window (4) is actuated by an electric motor and pinion (18) (19) driving a lever mechanism (20,22). The wing mirror (10) is operated by a further electric motor and rack (26,27) and the locks by an electromagnet (67). A microprocessor receives all commands from either outside or inside the vehicle and ensures that all door, window, mirror, and lock operations are in the correct sequence. ADVANTAGE - Mechanical power and remote infra red control may be used and all operations take place in correct sequence.
