The adjusting device (10) is characterized in that a manual adjustment of the movable body part (12) puts the control device (24) back from the idle state into the operating state. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding method for adjusting the movable body part (12).
The The invention relates to an adjusting device for a movable body part a motor vehicle and a method for adjusting the movable Body part according to the preamble of the independent claims.
In motor vehicles, actuators are increasingly being used which are intended to facilitate actuation of movable body parts or serve as anti-trap protection or closing aid. For example, from the DE-A 198 13 513 an opening and closing control system for a vehicle sliding door, which is mounted on one side of a vehicle body. The sliding door is driven by a drive source, such as an electric motor, according to inclination of the sliding door when the motor vehicle is vertically inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle body, that is, when the vehicle stops on an inclined road.
The DE-A 10 2005 019 846 discloses a control device for improving the function of opening and closing a tailgate equipped with a gas spring damper, comprising a sensor for detecting the temporary opening angle of the tailgate relative to a vehicle body. An electronic control unit receives a detected angle from the sensor and outputs a pressure regulating control signal. The gas spring regulates the pressure of a cylinder according to the control signal of the electronic control unit.
From the EP-A 1 652 708 Furthermore, a two-part tailgate with an upper and a lower body part is known. With the help of electric motors, the upper and lower body parts are controlled so that they move synchronously with each other. The JP-A 2005 194 767 shows a motion sensor for checking the position of a sliding door, wherein the sensor is arranged and configured such that a deep discharge of a vehicle battery is avoided. In the JP-A 2005 016 252 In addition, a motion sensor is disclosed which transmits a signal to a control arrangement for actuating an actuator for gently opening or closing a vehicle door.
From the DE-A 197 55 259 It is known that microprocessors for controlling various actuators can be brought into a sleep mode in order to reduce the power consumption in a motor vehicle. By means of an electronic circuit arrangement, the microprocessor can be acted upon by wake-up and action signals via an external switch associated with the circuit arrangement in order to transfer it from idle mode into a working mode. In this case, the circuit arrangement has a sleep mode circuit for generating a wake-up interrupt triggering wake-up signal when the microprocessor is to be brought from the sleep mode to the work mode, and a work mode circuit for generating action signals, the sleep mode circuit to a wake-up digital input and the work mode circuit abut an analog input of the microprocessor and two circuits is associated with the at least one external switch.
The Adjustment device according to the invention for a movable Body part of a motor vehicle, with an actuator for adjustment the movable body part, and with a control device for controlling the actuator in an operating state, wherein the Control device from the operating state goes into a sleep state when within a defined period of time no adjustment of the movable Body part takes place, and the corresponding method for adjusting the movable body part facing the said state of Technology has the advantage that, in addition to a further reduction of the Quiescent consumption on an additional Sensor element for detecting a movement of the movable body part, on an additional Switching means and / or waives a supplementary current measurement can be to return the controller from hibernation into the operating state. This is now by a Manual adjustment of the movable body part causes. In advantageously enough it thus that the control device exclusively on the already used Decoders for determining position or on a detector or Sensorless detection of the position of the movable body part recourse.
Further Advantages of the invention will become apparent from those specified in the dependent claims Features as well as from the drawing and the description below.
In an advantageous embodiment, the actuator is an electric motor which operates to generate the Aufwecksignais as a generator and thus the back EMF or counter-EMF (Electromotive Force), which acts as a result of the manual adjustment of the movable body part on the windings exploits. The manual adjustment of the movable body part thus generates a voltage and / or current pulse which serves as a wake-up signal for the control device. In an alternative embodiment, a wake-up agent is in one Interacting with the movable Karsosserieteil so that the manual adjustment of the movable body part causes a voltage and / or current change, which serves as a wake-up signal for the control device. In this case, a potentiometer, in particular a sliding potentiometer, and / or a Hall sensor integrated in the actuator is used as a wake-up means in an advantageous manner.
One Another advantage results from the detection of the current position the movable body part in the operating state of the control device by a position detector, wherein the control device by means of the position detector detected, current position of the movable Body part before her transition stored from the operating state to the idle state in a memory. This allows also an interruption of the power supply of the position detector by the control device for further reducing the quiescent current consumption. After re-putting the control device in the operating state the stored position is then read out of the memory again, wherein the control device again detects the position detector the position of the movable body part activated. It is it for cost reasons or to save space, further advantageous if the Position detector is the integrated in the actuator Hall sensor. This can take over the function of the wake-up means in an advantageous manner, in which case, however, an interruption of the power supply for quiescent current reduction is to be avoided. Alternatively or additionally, this can be done with the mobile Part in an operative connection awakening means as a position detector be used. As with the Hall sensor, so are also in this Case no action to interrupt the power supply of the wake-up means. It is also possible Completely to dispense with a position detector by recording the Position of the movable body part the ripple of a Commutation of the designed as an electric motor actuator controlling commutation signal in the context of a ripple count method is evaluated by the control device. In this case, too it is provided that the control device, the detected, current position the movable body part before its transition from the operating state in the idle state stores in the memory.
During the Adjustment of the movable body part at rest or In the wake-up phase of the control device, there may be a deviation between the stored and the actual position of the moving Body parts come. In a particularly advantageous manner, the control device therefore about Correction means for correcting during the wake-up phase of Hibernation in the operating state changed position of the displaced Body part, wherein the wake-up phase of the control device the Time span from the manual adjustment of the movable body part until reading the stored position from the memory. The correction means can for example in the form of a stored in the control device Algorithm or a look-up table be designed, where the correction value depends on from the detected back EMF of the actuator. As another Correction value can in this context be the detected slope the back EMF change serve, which is a measure of the force on the movable body part during manual adjustment represents. It is also conceivable, an average number of clock pulses of the position detector during the wake-up phase to determine and as a correction value in the control device save.
Around always one possible exact determination of the current position of the movable body part to ensure, is further provided that the control device to defined Time points in the respective end position of the movable body part, ie in the completely open or closed state, performs a calibration process. there depends on that frequency the performed calibration procedures of the required accuracy of the wake-up and Verstellvorgänge.
Especially at higher Ambient temperatures can over it the diagnostic branch and / or a suppression circuit of the actuator to come a leakage that leads to unintentional waking the control device leads. To prevent this, electrical means are provided which in the case of an embodiment as at least one switching means the Diagnostic branch and / or the suppression circuit decouple the actuator from an electrical ground potential. An alternative provides that the electrical means at least a connected to the diagnostic branch and / or the suppression circuit of the actuator Resistance network, which is dimensioned such that a voltage drop caused by the leakage current defines a defined one Limit for waking the control device does not exceed.
The Adjustment device according to the invention or the corresponding method are in a particularly advantageous manner for mobile Body parts in the form of a tailgate, a vehicle door, a folding top, an engine hood or a fuel cap closure of the motor vehicle suitable.
The invention will be described below with reference to the 1 to 5 exemplified, wherein the same Reference signs in the figures indicate the same components with the same operation. The figures of the drawing, the description and the claims contain numerous features in combination. A person skilled in the art will also consider these features individually and combine them into further meaningful combinations. In particular, a person skilled in the art will also combine the features from different exemplary embodiments into further meaningful combinations.

4 FIG. 2: a diagram of a voltage pulse as a function of time and. measured by manual adjustment of the movable body part on an actuator
5 FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a diagnostic branch of the actuator for providing the wake-up signal.
In 1 is a schematic representation of the adjusting device according to the invention 10 for a movable body part 12 of a motor vehicle 14 the example of a tailgate 16 and a rear side door 18 shown. With 20 is an actuator for adjusting the movable body part 12 marked on the bodywork of the motor vehicle 14 or on the movable body part 12 can be attached. The actuator 20 is in the example shown as an electric motor 22 educated. However, other suitable actuators for the invention 20 , such as gas spring or the like, are used. As movable body parts 12 come next to the tailgate shown 16 and the rear side door 18 also other doors of the motor vehicle 14 , an engine hood, a folding top, a tank cap or the like in question.
The electric motor 22 is via a control device 24 , For example, a microprocessor, an ASIC, or a corresponding discrete or integrated circuit, driven. This is the control device 24 , which is connected to a supply voltage U + and an electrical ground potential GND, a corresponding control signal S S of a not shown, preferably outside the adjusting device 10 handed arranged signal generator. This can, for example, as a radio receiver of a radio remote control for the motor vehicle 14 or as one within the motor vehicle 14 arranged switching or feeler be formed.
Likewise, it is also conceivable that the radio receiver already in the adjustment 10 or even the control device 24 is integrated.
For the sake of clarity, was in 1 on the representation of a ground connection for the electric motor 22 waived. This can be realized for example by means of a known half-bridge, which is located between the control device 24 and the electric motor 22 located. Via two control branches 25 and 26 , in each of which a Zener diode 27 is arranged for voltage stabilization, the electric motor 22 in two different directions for opening or closing the movable body part 12 be controlled. The switching of the direction of movement is effected by a polarity reversal by means of a relay 28 that in the Ansteuerzweig 26 is arranged. Likewise, it is possible without limiting the invention that the Ansteuerzweig 25 the relay 28 has, or that in both Ansteuerzweigen 25 and 26 a corresponding relay is located.
The control device 24 has a diagnostic interface 30 for diagnosis of the electric motor 22 via appropriate diagnostic branches 32 during the operating state. It is possible that - as in 1 shown - either all connections of the electric motor 22 or control branches 25 . 26 via a diagnostic branch 32 or only a subset of the ports are monitored. The diagnostic branches 32 are over circuits 34 , related to 5 will be discussed in more detail, and appropriate diagnostic lines 33 with the diagnostic interface 30 the control device 24 connected. Alternatively, it can also be used for every diagnostic branch 32 a separate diagnostic interface 30 in the control device 24 be provided. The diagnostic branches 32 serve in the idle state of the control device 24 but also, as in connection with the 2 to 5 is still shown, for waking up the control device 24 by means of a wake-up signal S A. They are about the circuits 34 and corresponding wake-up lines 35 with a wake-up interface 36 the control device 24 connected, which is active in idle state and inactive in the operating state. As for the diagnostic interface 30 , so also applies to the wake-up interface 36 in that this alternative for each control branch 25 . 26 or connection of the electric motor 22 can be provided. Are both control branches 25 and 26 over the circuit 34 with the wakeup 36 connected, this ensures a wake-up of the control device 24 by a manual adjustment of the movable body part 12 in both directions. Furthermore, it is possible that the diagnostic interface 30 and the awakening interface 36 are summarized in a common interface (in 1 Not shown). In this case, the common interface operates in the idle state of the control device 24 as a wake-up interface and in the operating state of the control device 24 as a diagnostic interface.
For position detection of the movable body part 12 serves a position detector 37 that's here as a hall sensor 38 trained and in the electric motor 22 is integrated. About a magnetic disk, not shown, the rotationally fixed on a rotor shaft of the electric motor 22 is mounted, in a simple and known manner, the position of the rotor and thus also the movable body part 12 be recorded. Likewise, other position detectors such as AMR sensors (anisotropic magnetoresistive sensors) or the like may be used. It is also possible that instead of a Hall sensor 38 a potentiometer 40 for position detection of the movable body part 12 is used, which is in operative connection with the rotor shaft of the electric motor 22 or the movable body part 12 itself stands. In the case of an operative connection with the movable body part 12 could the potentiometer 40 be designed in particular as a sliding potentiometer. Instead of the potentiometer 40 can also be a linear sensor or the like are used. Another alternative results from a detector-less or sensorless detection of the position of the movable body part by the ripple of a commutation of the electric motor 22 driving commutation signal S C in the context of a ripple count method by the control device 24 is evaluated. In the following, however, without limiting the invention of a Hall sensor 38 be assumed whose position signal S P to the control device 24 for storing the current position of the movable body part 12 in a store 42 is handed over. A corresponding procedure can also be applied to the already mentioned alternatives of the Hall sensor 38 apply.
With reference to the flow charts according to the 2 and 3 Now is the inventive method for adjusting the movable body part 12 to be discribed. With 100 is the operating state of the adjusting device 10 in which both a manual adjustment and an automatic adjustment of the movable body part 12 via the remote control or inside the vehicle 14 arranged switching or feeler is possible. In this case, under a manual adjustment, for example, an adjustment by hand and an automatic adjustment, an adjustment by means of the actuator 20 to understand. In a first step 102 the remote control or the switch is actuated, whereby the movable body part 12 is adjusted in the direction of a closed or opened state in response to the control signal S S. About the diagnostic branches 32 and the diagnostic interface 30 the control device 24 can be the actuator 20 be monitored by means of a diagnostic signal S D. In addition, the powered control device detects 24 the position of the movable body part 12 with the help of the position detector 37 or detectorless, as described above. In a subsequent step 104 becomes the movable body part 12 stopped in any position and the current, by means of the position detector 37 detected position as a position signal S P in the memory 42 the control device 24 stored. Storing the position signal S P immediately after each stop of the movable body part 12 however, is not required in principle.
Now within a defined period, for example 30 Seconds after the last adjustment, no manual or automatic adjustment of the movable body part 12 , so in step 106 the adjusting device 10 or the control device 24 put into a resting, sleeping or energy saving state and the currently detected position of the movable Karossieteils 12 as a position signal S P in the memory 42 the control device 24 stored. This is where the diagnostic interface becomes 30 disabled and the wake-up interface 36 activated. Since thus the power supply for the control device 24 , the position detector 37 as well as the electric motor 22 is greatly reduced or completely interrupted, sets a very low quiescent current. This is of considerable importance, in particular in today's motor vehicles, since the increasing number of electrical consumers requires a well-thought-out closed-circuit concept in order to stress the motor vehicle battery when the motor vehicle is switched off 14 as well as the associated risk of a deep discharge to minimize or avoid. Is a bus control of the actuator 20 for example via a CAN or LIN bus of the motor vehicle 14 before, it is according to the step shown in dashed lines 108 alternatively possible, the resting state of Vestellvorrichtung 10 to activate by means of the data bus.
A manual adjustment of the movable body part 12 in step 110 causes the electric motor 22 operates as a generator which generates a voltage and / or current pulse as a result of the resulting back or counter EMF. An example play for a voltage pulse U A as a function of time t shows 4 for a manual adjustment of the movable body part 12 in the direction of a more open (voltage pulse U A1 ) and a more closed state (voltage pulse U A2 ), wherein the basis of a base value U o outgoing positive or negative orientation of the voltage pulse U A of the direction of rotation of the electric motor 22 depends. The voltage pulse U A acts via the diagnostic branches 32 the respective control branches 25 . 26 for opening or closing the movable body part 12 , the circuits 34 and the wake-up lines 35 as a wake-up signal S A on the Aufweckschnittstellen 36 the control device 24 (see 1 ). Then the adjusting device 10 in step 112 put back from its idle state to the operating state. Alternatively, it is also possible that as a position detector 37 working potentiometers 40 the task of a wake-up agent 44 takes over. This causes the adjustment of the movable body part 12 a change in the ohmic resistance of the potentiometer 40 and consequently a change in voltage and / or current which, when a certain threshold value is exceeded, acts as the wake-up signal S A for the control device 24 serves. On the exact description of the circuit topology in connection with the potentiometer 40 can be omitted here, since, for example, a use of the potentiometer 40 within a correspondingly designed voltage divider is known. Also in this case it is possible the wake-up interface 36 to be used as input for the wake-up signal S A. Alternatively, however - as already described above - a common interface of the control device 24 be used for diagnosis and wake-up.
A detailed description of the wake-up phase and the correction of the stored position of the movable body part 12 according to step 110 takes place in connection with 3 , The manual adjustment of the movable body part 12 in step 110a generated in step 110b the already mentioned voltage and / or current pulse according to 4 in the electric motor 22 , This pulse acts as a wake-up signal S A via the diagnostic branches 32 on the awakening interface 36 the control device 24 , Likewise, with reference to the above description, it is conceivable that instead of the actuator 20 as a wake-up agent 44 serving potentiometers 40 or the Hall sensor 38 the wake-up signal S A generated.
In step 110c becomes the control device 24 as a result of the wake-up signal S A from its idle state into the operating state and supplied with energy. She then reads in step 110d those in their store 42 Position of the movable body part stored in the idle state before moving 12 out again. The during the steps 110a to 110d elapsed time thus defines the wake-up phase of the control device 24 ,
In step 110e causes the control device 24 an energy supply of the Hall sensor 38 or potentiometer 40 trained position detector 37 to recapture the current position of the movable body part 12 in step 110f , Works the potentiometer 40 in addition, as a wake-up agent 44 , so a renewed pressurization with the supply voltage U + is not required, since this must be applied permanently to generate the wake-up signal S A anyway. In this case, step 110e omitted. The same applies if the Hall sensor 38 in addition to its function as a position detector 37 also for generating the wake-up signal S A is used.
After the current position in step 110f by means of the position detector 37 recorded in step 110g an update of the stored position with the current position by the control device 24 , This ensures that the adjustment 10 works with the correct data. Nevertheless, due to the short-term adjustment of the movable body part 12 during the idle state or the wake-up phase of the control device 24 the occurrence of an inaccurate position signal S P possible because the actual position of the movable part 12 and those in the store 42 stored position may differ from each other. The control device 24 therefore has correction means 46 that a correction of the changed during the wake-up from the idle state to the operating state position of the displaced body part 12 enable. The correction means 46 For example, in the form of one in the control device 24 stored algorithm or a look-up table to be configured, wherein the correction value in dependence on the determined back EMF of the electric motor 22 results. As a further correction value can be used in this context, the detected slope of the back EMF change, which is a measure of the force on the movable body part 12 during manual adjustment. It is also conceivable, an average number of clock pulses of the position detector 37 during the wake-up phase and as a correction value in the memory 42 the control device 24 to store the originally stored position signal S P as a function of the adjustment direction of the movable body part 12 is corrected. Here is a detection of the adjustment - as from 4 apparent - on the basis of the electric motor 22 generated voltage and / or current pulse possible.
After the possible correction of the memory 42 read position is step 110 abge closed, and the process goes into step 112 according to 2 above. The adjusting device 10 has now returned to its normal operating state and allows manual or automatic adjustment of the movable body part 12 , The diagnostic interface 30 is then in an activated and the wake-up interface 36 in a deactivated state. In addition, it can be provided that the control device 24 At defined times in the respective end position of the movable body part, ie in the fully open or closed state, performs a calibration process, so that these absolute positions a reference (0% or 100%) for the detector or by means of the position detector 37 form measured positions during the adjustment. Among other things, the frequency of the calibration processes depends on the particular application, ie which type of movable body part 12 is adjusted, and / or the required accuracy of the adjustment and Aufweckvorgänge. The higher the accuracy requirements, the more frequently a calibration process should be performed. Furthermore, it is expedient to calibrate after each reset of the control device 24 or the adjusting device 10 For example, due to a battery voltage interruption or reduction perform. In this case, an early detection of the battery voltage reduction by the monitoring of a voltage regulator, not shown, or the like, with a corresponding output signal triggers the calibration process. In conjunction with a recalibration performed may be the functionality of the adjustment 10 be limited so that immediately after the recalibration no automatic adjustment of the movable body part 12 by means of the actuator 20 is possible. An exception to this, however, is in connection with a not shown anti-jamming sensor for the movable body part 12 possible, which allows to increase the safety of an automatic run despite lack of calibration. Furthermore, it is conceivable to define a maximum number of permitted adjustment processes, upon reaching which a calibration process has to be performed. For example, it may be provided that the movable body part 12 after each hundredth or twentieth adjustment is automatically calibrated at the next full opening and / or closing. Likewise, a calibration can also be carried out after each complete, manual opening or closing, wherein a correspondingly mounted sensor signals the respective end position and to the control device 12 forwards.
In 5 is a detail view of one of the 1 illustrated circuits 34 for diagnosis of the electric motor 22 or for waking up the control device 24 via the control branch 25 shown. In each case, a circuit is advantageously in each case 34 with the control branch 25 and 26 connected to a wake-up in both directions of adjustment of the movable body part 12 to enable. Every circuit 34 is still via the diagnostics line 33 with the diagnostic interface 30 and about the wake-up line 35 with the awakening interface 36 the control device 24 for the transfer of the diagnostic signal S D in the operating state or the wake-up signal S A connected in the idle state.
The circuits 34 have a first voltage divider 48 respectively. 49 , on the one hand to the Ansteuerzweig 25 respectively. 26 between the anode of the Zener diode 27 and a connection of the as an actuator 20 working electric motor 22 is switched and on the other hand via a switching means 50 can be connected to the electrical ground potential GND. For this purpose, for example, as a bipolar transistor, field effect transistor, relay or the like formed switching means 50 by means of a diagnosis switching signal S DS via a second voltage divider 52 can be activated or deactivated. In this case, the diagnosis switching signal S DS can be, for example, a DC voltage of approximately 5 V and from outside the adjusting device 10 arranged control device or by the control device 24 self-generated.
The with the Ansteuerzweig 26 connected circuit 34 is shown for clarity only in parts. Its structure corresponds essentially to that of the Ansteuerzweig 25 connected circuit 34 , In the event that a wake up of the control device 24 only in one direction of movement is required or only one of the Ansteuerzweige 25 . 26 can be monitored, the circuits 34 certainly also differ from each other, for example, by the Aufweckleitung 35 or the diagnostic line 33 and the related components is dispensed with. The following is the operation and structure of the circuits 34 based on the with the Ansteuerzweig 25 connected circuit 34 be explained. Between the two resistors 48a and 48b of the first voltage divider 48 is a center tap 48c for one out of a resistance 54 and a capacitor 56 existing RC element 58 provided, with a first connection 56a of the capacitor 56 via a center tap 58a of the RC element 58 with the anode of a diode 60 and a second connection 56b of the capacitor 56 is connected to the electrical ground potential GND. Furthermore, there is a connection of the center tap 58a via the diagnostics line 33 to the diagnostic input 30 the control device 24 for the transfer of the diagnostic signal S D in the operating state of the control device 24 with activated or low-impedance switching means 50 , The cathode of the diode 60 is finally about a resistance 62 and the up wake-up line 35 with the awakening interface 36 the control device 24 connected to the transmission of the wake-up signal S A at rest, while they have another resistance 64 is at the electrical ground potential GND.
In the operating state of the control device 24 is the switching means 50 activated by the diagnosis switching signal S DS , so that the second resistor 48b of the first voltage divider 48 has a connection to the electrical ground potential GND. In this case, due to the flow of current across the first resistor 48a of the first voltage divider 48 , the resistance 54 of the RC element 58 and the diagnostic line 33 a clear diagnosis of the electric motor 22 through the control device 24 possible.
In the idle state of the control device 24 is their diagnostic interface 30 disabled, allowing a current flow only to the wake-up interface 36 can work. As a result of an increased ambient temperature (eg 80 ° C), it may in a direct ground connection of the first voltage divider 48 however, a leakage current through the zener diode 27 come, the unintentional waking up of the control device 24 via the wake-up interface 36 pulls. A corresponding leakage current can also by a not shown and with the electric motor 22 connected suppression circuit are caused. To avoid such leakage currents, the switching means 50 for decoupling the first voltage divider 48 deactivated by the electrical ground potential GND by increasing the diagnosis switching signal S DS . Is the capacitor 56 of the RC element 58 charged, so there is no connection to the electrical ground potential GND on this. As the control device 24 is in sleep mode, there is no diagnosis of the electric motor 22 via the diagnostic interface 30 ,
In the following example, a typical for a tailgate application leakage current of about 200 uA at 80 ° C is assumed. This corresponds to a maximum quiescent current for applications in motor vehicles and for a temperature range of -40 ° C to +85 ° C, the setting for example via the first voltage divider 49 of the with the Ansteuerzweig 26 connected circuit 34 he follows. Assuming that this first voltage divider 49 two resistances 49a and 49b with values of respectively 6.8 kΩ and 1 kΩ, whereby the 1 kΩ resistor can be connected to the electrical ground potential GND, the result is a leakage current of 200 μA across the electric motor 22 decreasing voltage of approx. 1.56 V, which is also above that with the Ansteuerzweig 25 connected circuit 34 drops. The circuits 34 Although in this case are mainly the same structure, but have different sized components.
If one assumes by way of example that the first resistance 48a and the second resistance 48b of the first voltage divider 48 of the with the Ansteuerzweig 25 connected circuit 34 Have values of 47 kΩ and 27 kΩ and that the second resistor 48b of the first voltage divider 48 due to the deactivated switching means 50 as well as the 27 kΩ dimensioned resistor 54 of the RC element 58 due to the charged capacitor 56 have no connection to the electrical ground potential GND, so is above the 1MΩ demensioned resistor 64 taking into account that over the diode 60 a forward voltage of 0.6 V drops, a voltage of about 0.9 V at. Because of the wake-up line 35 with the awakening interface 36 the control device 24 connected resistance 62 opposite the resistance 64 has a negligible value of 1.2 kΩ, is therefore also at the wake-up interface 36 a voltage of almost 0.9V.
The awakening interface 36 is now designed so that a voltage of at least 1 V is needed to the control device 24 from their idle state to the operating state. Will the movable body part 12 Manually adjusted, it acts on the electric motor 22 , which operates as a generator due to the back-EMF or counter-EMF and a voltage pulse U A according to 4 generated. As a result of this voltage pulse U A increases at the wake-up interface 36 voltage of about 0.9 V to about 1 V, so that the voltage pulse U A in terms of a wake-up signal S A, the control device 24 wakes. Corresponding behavior is also possible if the diagnostic interface 30 and the awakening interface 36 are united in a common interface. In this case, only switching of the function of the common interface by the control device is 24 depending on their condition required.
The resistors 48a . 48b . 54 . 62 and 64 Together with the diagnostic branch 32 of the electric motor 22 connected resistor network 66 , which is dimensioned such that caused by the leakage current voltage drop at the wake-up interface 36 the defined limit of 1 V for waking up the control device 24 does not exceed. Also the resistances 49a and 49b and other resistors not shown with the Ansteuerzweig 26 connected circuit 34 can be part of the resistor network 66 be. This makes sense insofar as with the resistors 49a and 49b for example, the above the electric motor 22 As a result of the leakage current decreasing voltage can be set, which is a wesentli chen offset for exceeding or falling below the defined limit (in this case, 1 V) for waking the control device 24 due to manual adjustment of the movable body part 12 forms. The corresponding resistances of both circuits 34 can therefore the resistor network 66 to fine tune the awakening process. The resistance values mentioned here are not restrictive but only to be understood as examples. A person skilled in the art is able to adapt the resistances to the respective requirements, for example as a function of the limit value and / or the leakage current.
It should finally be noted that the embodiments shown neither on the 1 to 5 is still limited to the stated values for the resistors or the voltages. Also, the use of Zener diodes 27 in the control branches 25 . 26 is not to be understood as limiting the invention. It is also conceivable that the circuits 34 or the resistor networks 66 can be dimensioned differently for each Ansteuerzweig. That this represents a thoroughly useful measure, among other things 4 , which shows that the back-EMF or counter-EMF can depend strongly on the adjustment direction.
