1/18 “ENERGIZED DOOR LOCK SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION RELATING TO AN EMERGENCY DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE USER” Field of the Invention [001] The present invention relates, in general, to doors for motor vehicles and, more particularly, to an energized lock system and a display that provides a user with information regarding the location of a mechanical reinforcement lock release that can be used if the vehicle's electrical power supply to the energized lock has been interrupted.
Background of the Invention [002] Electrically powered locks (electric locks) were developed for motor vehicle doors. The energized door locks can be unlocked by activating an “electric unlocking” switch. The actuation of the switch causes an electric motor to move a latch to a released / unlocked position that allows a lock claw to move and disengage from a stop to allow the vehicle door to open. Electrical locks can include an emergency or reinforcement device lever that is mechanically connected to the locking mechanism. The release lever can be manually activated from inside the vehicle to unlock the energized lock if the energized lock fails due to a loss of local electrical power to the energized door lock controller or other defects in the electronics or controller software from the energized lock to the door with the mechanical release lever.
Description of the Invention [003] One aspect of the present invention is an energized door lock system for vehicles that includes a controller configured for
2/18 receive data regarding vehicle operating conditions / parameters. The door lock system also includes at least one electrically powered door lock that has an electrical activator that can be activated by the controller to unlock the electrically powered lock. At least one manually operable emergency device is mechanically connected to at least one electrically powered lock to mechanically release the lock. The emergency device may comprise a lever or other suitable mechanical device. The system also includes a user communication device such as a display screen and / or audio devices (for example, a speaker) that is operationally connected to the controller. The controller causes the user communication device to provide a user with information regarding the location and / or operation of the emergency device if the controller determines that at least one predefined operational condition, such as a loss of electrical power, has occurred.
[004] Another aspect of the present invention is a method for providing a user with a vehicle that has an energized door lock with information related to an emergency device that is configured to mechanically unlock the energized door lock in the event of loss of electrical power for the energized lock. The method includes determining whether a predefined defect that prevents electrical unlocking of the energized door latch has occurred. The method also includes causing a communication device such as a screen inside the vehicle to display / provide information regarding the location of the emergency device if a predefined defect has occurred in at least one door with a mechanical release lever.
[005] These and other aspects, objectives, and resources of the present invention will be understood and verified by those skilled in the subject through
3/18 the study of the specification, claims and attached drawings below.
Brief Description of the Drawings [006] In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a partially fragmentary isomeric view of a portion of a vehicle interior that includes a display panel and screen;
Figure 2 is an isomeric view of a vehicle door;
Figure 3 is a schematic view of an energized door latch; and
Figure 4 is a diagram showing the architecture of a powered vehicle door lock system.
Description of Realizations of the Invention [007] For purposes of description in this document, the terms "top", "bottom", "right", "left," rear, "front", "vertical", "horizontal" and derivatives of they must relate to the invention as outlined in Figures 1 and 2. However, it should be understood that the invention can assume several alternative orientations, except where expressly specified to the contrary. It should also be understood that the specific processes and devices illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification are simply exemplary realizations of the inventive concepts defined in the attached claims. Therefore, the specific dimensions and other physical characteristics in relation to the achievements disclosed in this document should not be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise.
[008] Referring to Figure 1, vehicle 1 includes a panel 2 that has one or more instruments 4. Vehicle 1 also includes one or more display screens 8A and 8B can be used to provide visual information regarding the operation of vehicle to a user. The display screens 8A and 8B
4/18 may comprise LCD screens, LED screens, OLED screens, or other suitable displays with the ability to provide text and / or moving or static images. Vehicle 1 may also include one or more speakers 9 or other audio devices that generate audio signals (e.g., voice messages) to provide a user with information regarding the operation of the vehicle. Specifically, voice messages can be delivered to a vehicle user using a speaker.
[009] Vehicle 1 also includes one or more doors 10 that are movably mounted to the vehicle structure using joints or another suitable mechanism. With additional reference to Figure 2, the vehicle door 10 can include an interior handle 12 and an unlock switch that can be activated by a user to unlock a powered lock 6. As discussed in more detail below, switch activation 14 generates an unlock request that is processed by a lock controller to determine whether energized lock 6 should be unlocked. Port 10 can also include an unlock button 16 that can be used to unlock the energized door lock 6. As discussed in more detail below, energized lock 6 can include a booster power supply 28 and a controller 38. One emergency or reinforcement device, such as a lever 18 or other suitable device, is mechanically connected to the energized lock 6 by a cable 20, mechanical connection, or the like. The emergency device lever 18 can be mounted to the vehicle door 10 in a compartment 22 as shown in Figure 2. Alternatively, the emergency device lever 18 can be mounted on the inside face of the door or on the top of the door sill. vehicle 1, or in another suitable location. Due to the fact that switches 14 and 16 can normally be used to unlock energized lock 6, the emergency device lever 18 is typically used
5/18 occasionally. Consequently, the emergency device lever 18 can be mounted in a location that is remote from handle 12 and / or switches 12 and 14. In addition, the emergency device lever 18 can be mounted in a “hidden” location. (e.g., compartment 22) so that the emergency device lever 18 is not readily visible to an operator / occupant of the vehicle. Even if the emergency device lever 18 is in view, the function of the emergency device lever 18 may not be readily apparent to a user.
[010] With additional reference to Figure 3, the energized lock 6 may include a claw 80 that pivots around a pin 82 and a spring-supported tongue 86 that rotates around pin 88. The claw 80 is spring supported on the direction from an extended SOA position. In use, when door 10 is open, grapple 80 will normally be in the extended position 80A due to spring support. While the door 10 is closed, the claw surface 90 comes into contact with a stop 84 which is mounted to the vehicle structure. The contact between the stop 84 and the claw surface 90 causes the claw 80 to rotate around the pin 82 in the direction of the arrow “R1” until the claw 80 reaches the closed position 80B. A tongue 86 is pivotally mounted for rotation around a pin 88. The tongue 86 can move between a disengaged or unlocked position 86A and a locked or engaged configuration or position 86B. When the claw 80 is in the closed position 80B, and the tongue 86 is in the engaged position 86B, the tongue 86 prevents the rotation of the claw 80 to the open position 80A, thereby preventing the opening of the door 10. The claw 80 can be supported by a spring, or the like, for rotation in a direction opposite the arrow R1 so that the claw 80 rotates to the open position 80A, unless the tongue 86 is in the engaged position 86B. The tongue 86 can be supported by a spring, or the like, on the
6/18 direction of the arrow R2 so that the tongue 86 rotates to the engaged position 86B as the jaw 80 rotates to the closed position 80B while the stop 84 engages the jaw 80 as the door 10 is closed. The lock 6 can be unlocked by turning the latch 86 in a direction opposite to the arrow R2 to thereby allow the jaw rotation 80 from the closed position 80B to the open position 80A. An electric actuator, such as an electric motor 92, can be operatively connected to tongue 86 to thereby rotate tongue 86 to the disengaged or unlocked position 86A. Latch 6 can include a controller (38A to 38D, Figure 4) that can be configured to cause energized latch 6 to move from a configuration, or state, locked to a configuration, or state, locked, make sure that the electric activator 92 rotates the latch 86 from the locked or engaged position 86B to the unlocked configuration or position 86A. It should be understood that several types of energized latches can be used in the present invention, and the energized latch 6 does not need to include the claw 80 and the electrical tongue 86 as shown in Figure 3. For example, the electrical activator 92 could be interconnected operational form with the claw 80 with the use of a mechanical device other than the tongue 86 to thereby move the energized lock 6 between the locked and unlocked states. In addition, the energized lock 6 and stop 84 mounting locations can be reversed. Specifically, lock 6 can be mounted to a vehicle frame, and stop 84 can be mounted to vehicle door 10. In general, vehicle door 10 can be opened if energized lock 6 is in an unlocked state, but energized lock 6 holds vehicle door 10 in a closed position when energized lock 6 is in a locked state, or configuration.
[011] The emergency device lever 18 can be operatively connected to the tongue 86 so that the
7/18 rotation / movement of lever 18, as indicated by the arrow “A” causes the tongue 86 to move to the unlocked or disengaged position 86A. It is to be understood that the emergency device 18 can comprise virtually any release member that has the ability to unlock the energized lock 6, and the present invention is not limited to a specific lever or other device.
[012] With additional reference to Figure 4, the energized lock system 25 includes a left front energized lock 6A, a left rear energized lock 6B, a right front energized lock 6C and a rear energized lock 6D. The energized locks 6A to 6D selectively retain the front left, rear left, front right and rear right doors, respectively, in closed positions. One or more of the energized locks 6A to 6D can be operationally connected to the emergency releases 18 where the energized locks 6A to 6D can be mechanically released if a defect prevents the electrical unlocking of one or more of the locks 6A to 6D occur. For example, one or more emergency releases 18 can be used if a vehicle main power source (e.g. battery 26) for vehicle 1 is lost. The energized locks 6A to 6D can optionally include booster power supplies 28A to 28D, respectively. The booster power supplies 28A to 28D may comprise capacitors, batteries, or other suitable electrical devices with the capacity to store sufficient electrical power to activate electrical activator 92 (Figure 3) in case the electrical power from the main battery 26 is interrupted or lost. It is to be understood that the locking system 25 may include a single powered lock 6A, a pair of powered locks 6A and 6C, four powered locks 6A to 6D, or other powered lock combinations or configurations as required for a particular vehicle. In addition, powered locks 6A to 6D can also be used to retain rear compartment covers,
8/18 sliding doors, or other movable structures or panels.
[013] The energized locks 6A to 6D are operationally connected to the external unlocking switches 32A to 32D and to the internal unlocking switches 14A to 14D, respectively. In general, activating switches 32A to 32D or 14A to 14D will cause locks 6A to 6D to unlock if main power supply 26 is available, or if booster power supplies 28Α to 28D on a port are available , and if system 25 determines that unlocking is appropriate according to various vehicle operating parameters. The energized locks 6A to 6D may include controllers 38A to 38D, respectively. The controllers 38A to 38D of energized locks 6A to 6D can be configured (for example, programmed) to individually control the electrical activators / electric motors 92 of each energized lock 6A to 6D using inputs / data received from 32A switches to 32D, switches 14A to 14D, and the other system modules 25. Each of the energized locks 6A to 6D can include an electrical connection 36A to 36D that operationally connects energized locks 6A to 6D with the vehicle power supply main 26. As discussed in more detail below, controllers 38A to 38D can be operationally connected to a body control module 40 and / or other components via a data network and / or electrical conductors that “connect directly” the components together.
[014] The body control module 40 can be operationally interconnected to a 42A instrument panel, a constraint control module (“RCM”) that determines whether a collision has occurred, and a power train control module (“PCM”) 42 via a data network connection line 44. A centralized display 42D is also operationally connected to the body control module 40 by data / network 44. Network 44
9/18 can comprise a first High Speed Controller Area Network (“HS1-CAN”) that operates according to known industry standards. The instrument panel 42A may include one or more display screens 8A (Figure 1), and the centralized display 42D may include one or more display screens 8B (Figure 1). A vehicle speed sensor 46 (for example, an ABS speed sensor) is operatively connected to a data link controller 48 over a network 50. Network 50 may comprise a second High Speed Controller Area Network (“HS2-CAN'j that operates according to known industry standards. A digital logic controller port 48 is operationally connected to powered locks 6A to 6D by a main network bracket 52 that includes 52A to 52D tips. Network 52 can comprise a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (“MS-CAN) that operates according to known industry standards. Energized locks 6A to 6D are also operationally connected to body control module 40 by data lines 39A to 39D, respectively Data lines 39A to 39D can be used to transmit data from controllers 38A to 38D to body control module 40 and vice versa.
[015] The energized locks 6A to 6D can also be connected directly (“by hardwire”) to the body control module 40 via conductor / wires 41A to 41D that provide data (door ajar status) to the body control module 40.
[016] As discussed above, powered locks 6A to 6D include emergency power supplies or booster 28A to 28D, respectively. In case the main power supply 26 is interrupted, the controllers 38A to 38D can be configured to make the energized locks 6A to 6D enter a reserve power mode in which the locks 6A to 6D use the reinforcement power supplies 28A the 28D.
10/18 [017] The energized lock controllers 38A to 38D 6A to 6D can be configured to send periodic “heartbeat signals to the body control module 40 and / or other modules / system components 25. If the signal “heartbeat” is not received by the body control module 40, this usually indicates that a malfunction / loss of operation or communication has occurred. In use, if one or more of the energized locks 6A to 6D goes into reserve power mode, the corresponding one or more controllers can be configured to stop sending the “heartbeat” signal to conserve energy. The body control module 40 will then detect that one or more of the lock controllers 38A to 38D are offline (that is, without communication with the body control module 40). If the offline condition persists for a predefined period of time (for example, 5 minutes) or a predefined number of key cycles (Key ON / Key OFF), the body control module 40 can be configured to cause one or more of the display screens 8A and / or 8B provide a "service search" display to a user immediately after "Key ON" or "Key OFF" cases. This display (or audio signal) alerts a user to seek service for the energized door / lock or locks 6A to 6D that are offline. It should be understood that the “service search” display and / or audio / voice signal could comprise a variety of messages, images, sounds, etc. and the “service search” sign / display would not necessarily have to include the term “service search. On vehicles that do not have a mechanical emergency device lever 18 on each of the doors with an energized lock 6, the service seek failure may briefly result in a power reserve in a 38A to 38D lock controller that runs out slowly over a period of time (for example, a few days or a week), resulting in the inability to open these doors without processing the
11/18 reinforcement 18. For such situations, if the door cannot be opened to remove the finishing screws to obtain service access to the door interior power locking system, then such a condition will require extraordinary effort to serve the system power lock.
[018] In addition, when body control module 40 determines that the “service search” alert / warning should be given, display 8A and / or display 8B can provide text or other visual material (graphics / images ) that explains the location of the reinforcement release lever 18 and / or the operation of the lever 18. Displays 8A and / or 8B can also provide information regarding the operation of the reinforcement release lever 18 and / or other information regarding failure of one or more of the energized locks 6A to 6D. In addition to visual information, audio information can also be provided using one or more speakers 9 (Figure 1). For example, an audio message “The door lock energized on the driver's side is currently inoperable. Please pull the emergency device lever located inside the compartment below the door handle on the driver's side ”or other appropriate audio could be provided as a recommendation to seek service for a specified number of days, otherwise the door will remain closed . In addition, the location and / or operation of the reinforcement handle 18 could be transported using display screens 8A and / or 8B and / or an audio message (voice) during the first 160.93 km on the odometer ( Odometer miles (or other distance) to educate new vehicle owners.
[019] Powered locks 6A to 6D may optionally not include booster power supplies 28A to 28D, so powered locks 6A to 6D depend only on battery / main power supply 26. If system 25 is configured in this way, the
12/18 body control 40 can be configured to cause displays 8A and 8B to display a message or provide other information regarding emergency device lever location and / or operation 18 if a low battery charge state is detected and / or if other operating conditions indicate that a power failure is likely.
[020] The body control module 40 can be configured to detect when one or more of the vehicle doors are ajar. If a door is ajar, even though the body control module 40 has not activated the corresponding energized lock 6A to 6D, it may indicate that the emergency device lever 18 has been used to open the door. If the body control module 40 detects a plurality of door ajar conditions that do not follow the electrical activation of energized locks 6A to 6D, controller 40 can be configured to display “service search” messages / images / signals with the use of display 8A and / or 8B. In addition, during normal operation, activation of the exterior and interior release switches will occur in an alternate manner as users release locks 6A to 6D to enter and exit the vehicle. If module 40 detects that an outer release switch 32A to 32D or a corresponding inner release switch 14A to 14D has been activated, it also detects that both the outer switch 32A to 32D and the corresponding inner release switch 14A to 14D have also never been activated. enabled, controller 40 can be configured to display a “service search” warning (for example, on the ON and OFF switches) until a normal (alternating) pattern of indoor and outdoor switch activations is detected.
[021] In addition, controller 40 can be configured to display a graphic image or text instructions explaining the location and / or operation of the emergency device lever 18 on the driver's door
13/18 if controller 40 determines that several activation cycles (Key ON and Key OFF) occurred without opening the driver's door, but with opening the front or rear passenger door, each of the same activation cycles. In addition, controller 40 could be configured to provide a graphic image or text instructions explaining the location / operation of the emergency device lever 18 if controller 40 determines that in the case of half-openings on a specific door they occurred in the absence of safety triggers. inner handle release (i.e., activations of inner unlocking switches 14A to 14D) and no associated outer outer handle cases (e.g. activation of outer unlocking switches 32A to 32D).
[022] According to another aspect of the present invention, the rear doors of the vehicle could have a child-proof mechanical reinforcement handle 18 packaged in a location on the door that is difficult for a child to release, but relatively easy for a adult release if information regarding the emergency device is provided. Consequently, controller 40 can be configured to provide information (for example, text and / or image instructions) regarding the location and / or operation of child-proof emergency device levers located on or behind a vehicle's rear doors. the same.
[023] According to another aspect of the present invention, the rear doors of a vehicle could include a mechanical emergency device lever 18 that is in a location that is readily accessible, but where the emergency device lever is covered. or blocked by a childproof cover that requires specific movements or release operations. Controller 40 can be configured to provide specific information (for example, text instructions and / or
14/18 images) regarding the location and / or removal of a child-proof cover that selectively prevents access to an emergency device lever 18 for the rear doors of a motor vehicle.
[024] System 25 can also be configured to use passive magnetic sensor keys that are identified by the body control module 40. If the body control module 40 detects that an occasionally used passive magnetic sensor key has been used to give Upon departure from the vehicle, controller 40 can be configured to provide information (for example, text and / or image instructions) regarding the location and / or operation of the emergency device lever 18 using display screens 8A and / or 8B. In addition, the new driver's education routine could be repeated for other cases that may suggest a new driver such as a new phone that is synchronized with the vehicle, or a known phone that is absent during a trigger click.
[025] System 25 (for example, lock controllers 38A to 38D) can be configured to require a sequence of activations of indoor unlock switches 14A to 14D in order to activate (unlock) powered locks 6A to 6D, respectively, to allow the vehicle to exit. For example, controllers 38A to 38D can be configured to require that each interior unlock switch 14A to 14D be activated twice in 3 seconds to unlock powered locks 6A to 6D. A requirement for multiple switch activations can be used to prevent inadvertent unlocking of energized locks 6A to 6D. In addition, a multi-switch activation requirement can be used in situations in which controllers 38A to 38D of powered locks 6A to 6D lose connection to body control module 40 and / or other system components so that information vehicle speed settings are not available during the ON Switch.
15/18
During normal “Switch ON” operation, the 42B constraint control module generates periodic signals that are received by other components of system 25. If an expected signal from the 42B constraint control module is not received by the 38A controllers a 38D during the ON Switch, the controller 38A to 38D can be configured to require multiple activations of switches 14A to 14D. In addition, if the powered lock controllers 38A to 38D 6A to 6D do not send the expected “heartbeat” signal to the body control module 40 when the ON Switch condition occurs, it may indicate that the 38A to 38D controllers have been switched to the booster power supplies 28A to 28D, and also switched to a mode that requires multiple activations of indoor switches 14A to 14D. If a condition occurs indicating that controllers 38A to 38D have possibly switched to a multi-activation mode, controller 40 can be configured to provide information regarding multi-activation of indoor unlock switches 14A through 14D using display screens 8A and / or 8B. Consequently, if a specified failure has occurred, a user will be provided with information / instructions regarding the multiple indoor switch activation procedure.
[026] Vehicle 1 can also be configured so that the rear doors do not include emergency device levers 18. When the vehicle is configured in this way, powered door lock controllers 38A to 38D 6A to 6D can be configured to require multiple switch activations of indoor switches 14A through 14D. The child locking status of the system can be determined / stored by the body control module 40 or other system components other than the lock controllers 38A to 38D. So, if a loss of data connectivity occurs, the port locks
16/18 rear 6B and 6D may not retain the child lock state from the inside. Controllers 38B and 38D can be configured to unlock the rear energized locks 6B and 6D only if the interior unlock switches 34B, 34D are activated multiple times in a predefined time interval (for example, 3 seconds). If the child lock feature has been activated for the rear doors, the rear door locks 6B and 6D will unlock if a predefined multi-lock interior unlock switch sequence is performed. If the child lock feature for the rear doors is not active (for example, due to a loss of data communication), controller 40 can be configured to provide information to a user using 8Ae / or 8B screens that indicate that the child lock feature for the rear doors is not active, and provide information regarding any required interior unlocking switch sequences that may be required to unlock the rear locks 6B and 6D, Vehicle 1 may include a panel driver's door switch (for example, window lock) enable a driver to select child lock mode. If the child lock mode has been selected using the driver's door switch panel, but a loss of data connectivity has occurred, controller 40 can be configured to display a “child free lock” message on each switch cycle on until data connectivity or power loss situation is resolved.
[027] In addition, when one or more of the energized locks 6A to 6D enters a boost power mode, controller 40 can be configured to require that the external manipulating switches 32A to 32D be closed for a period of time (for example, 3 seconds) in order to lock and / or unlock the energized locks 6A
17/18 to 6D. Controller 40 can be configured to use displays 8A and / or 8B to provide a user with information on how to secure / lock the door from the outside by securing the external switches 32A to 32D for a minimum of 3 seconds (or other predefined time interval).
[028] Vehicle 1 can also include a transmitter 58 and booster power supply 60. Transmitter 58 can be configured to communicate with a portable cell phone or other wireless device of the type. System 25 can be configured to send information (for example, a text message) to a user's cell phone to have the cell phone provide / display information regarding the location and / or operation of the emergency device lever 18 Similarly, system 25 can be configured to send information (for example, a text message) to a user's cell phone when multiple activations of indoor switches 14A through 14D are required to unlock powered locks 6A through 6D, and when the rear child lock state or feature is not fully active. In addition, system 25 can be configured to use the backup power supply 60 to send a text message to a user's cell phone regarding the location and / or operation of the emergency device lever 18 and / or whether an activation multiple interior release switches 14A through 14D is required to exit the vehicle, and / or if the child lock feature is not completely available for the rear seats.
[029] In addition, system 25 may include a voice command system that provides a voice message to alert a user of a problem and provide instructions regarding the operation of energized locks 6A to 6D. For example, system 25 can provide a voice message Attention, the door lock on the left side of the vehicle is out of power and will not allow the exit, please use the reinforcement release handle as shown in the information screen
18/18 of your vehicle or other suitable message. The voice command can be provided in multiple languages. System 25 can be configured to include a preconfigured language, and system 25 can initially generate a voice command in the preconfigured language, followed by one or more additional languages.
[030] In addition, the system can be configured to determine whether the vehicle's ignition was active with a valid cell phone, but none of the previously synchronized phones are detected in the vehicle. Under these circumstances, system 25 could assume that the driver is not the owner, but rather a temporary driver.
