Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the operation of sliding doors. More particularly, the invention provides a mechanism comprising two sub-mechanisms for opening and closing a sliding vehicle door of the type commonly found in vans, buses and commercial vehicles.
  • Vehicle sliding doors are often manually operated, which is quite satisfactory where the driver or an assistant dismounts for this purpose and operation is infrequent.
  • a powered mechanism is however preferable where door operation is frequent and/or the driver is not to dismount during door operation.
  • Today vans and minibuses are commonly used to transport typically 6 -22 passengers or delivery vans, and on taxis running on city routes door opening is frequent, and occurs on the side opposite the driver's seat and in a situation where the driver needs to remain in place.
  • Clearly, such arrangement calls for a power-operated door.
  • Vehicle hinged doors can be pneumatically operated, but the long movement of a sliding door is more suitable for electrical operation.
  • a flexible hauling element is connected to the door via a carriage running in a drive rail.
  • a basic problem with prior art door closures is that the motor provided is called upon to carry out two quite different tasks.
  • the closing of car doors is so to say a two mode operation. In the first mode the door is moved to the closing position. In the second mode the locking mechanism attracts the locking pin to perform a latching operation which, so to say, seals the door. In order to open a door the first operation is to release the locking pin and the second to move the door to the open position. During door operation a fast, long, longitudinal stroke is required for covering/uncovering the open section of the vehicle side and to catch the locking pin.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a controller for controlling all functions of operating the door.
  • the present invention achieves the above objects by providing a mechanism for electrically opening and closing a sliding door on the side of a vehicle, said mechanism comprising a first and a second sub-mechanism, each of said sub-mechanisms being driven by its own electric motor, said first sub-mechanism being arranged to move said door in a direction parallel to the direction of vehicle motion, and said second sub-mechanism being arranged to move said door in a direction substationaly perpendicular to the direction of vehicle motion for latching and unlatching of said door.
  • an assembly mechanism for electrically opening and closing a sliding door attached to the body of the vehicle wherein said first sub mechanism comprises a cable drum driven by a geared electric motor, the extremities of the cable being anchored to said door and a second sub mechanism geared electric motor drives directly or indirectly a mechanism to operate said latching/unlatching of the door.
  • a controller for controlling and synchronizing the two sub-mechanism and for controlling the movement of the door and the latching and unlatching thereof.
  • the door is operated by RF signals.
  • the novel device of the present invention serves to relieve strain on the driver or assistant whether the vehicle is outfitted for carrying passengers or goods.
  • the electric motors used are powered by the vehicle electric system. Each motor is designed to drive at an optimum point on its speed/torque graph, and the design of one motor and drive system in no way inhibits design of the other.
  • the motors and drive are accessible for maintenance.
  • the present invention refers to moving and latching the door. After closure of the door the door may be locked using any prior-art method.
  • the lock is electrically operated, being easiest to merge into the door operation system. For safety purposes it is possible to open the door by hand if power is unavailable or there is a breakdown or accident.
  • the apparatus of the present invention may be used with these - or other- types of emergency drive release mechanisms, which are not described in the present text. Likewise the whole assembly could be disconnected to enable operating the door manually.
  • FIG. 1 a van 1 provided with a sliding door 14 to close opening 4.
  • the original van's locking pin member 6 is replaced by a movable mechanism 60 (FIG. 5 and 6).
  • Contacts 15 are adapted to charge the battery on the hand and enable the controller to recognize the position of the door on the other hand.
  • FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 There is seen in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 a first sub-mechanism 12 for electrically opening and closing a sliding door 14 on the side of a vehicle.
  • the first sub-mechanism 12 is a part of the mechanism assembly 10 represented in FIG. 7.
  • a geared electric motor 18 drives a cable drum 20.
  • both extremities 22, 24 of the cable 26 are firmly anchored to the sliding door 14 itself, or as seen in the figure, anchored to a beam 28 projecting therefrom, the door 14 is pulled longitudinally along prior-art rails (not seen) accessible along the outer side of the vehicle to close/open the vehicle aperture 4.
  • a bracket 44 rigidly attached to the vehicle pulls the door 14 in a direction parallel to the direction of vehicle motion, to open/close door 14.
  • first sub-mechanism 50 for electrically opening and closing a sliding vehicle door 14.
  • the first sub-mechanism 50 is provided with two spring-loaded tensioner pulleys 34, 38 in contact with the cable 26, as seen in the previous figures.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a second sub-mechanism 54 for electrically opening and closing a sliding door 14.
  • an electrical signal generated by pressure on the "OPEN" button 56 (see FIG. 7), accessible to the vehicle driver, will activate the second sub-mechanism 54 which comprises a geared electric motor 58 driving an eccentrically-mounted excenter element 60 which replaced the original locking pin member 6 and adapted to engage latching mechanism 78.
  • Latching mechanism 78 is released either in a conventional manner or by release mechanism 8 (FIG. 1), which enable the first sub-mechanism to slide-open the door.
  • Seen in FIG. 6 is a preferred embodiment of a second sub-mechanism 66 which is useful for vehicles wherein lateral space is limited.
  • the sub-mechanism 66 electrically moves the vehicle sliding door 14 between its inner, latched position and its outer position allowing longitudinal travel.
  • a geared electric motor 68 drives a rack 70 and pinion 72.
  • the rack 70 drives a crank mechanism 74 to operate the latching/unlatching slide 76.
  • FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic representation of the mechanism 10.
  • the mechanism 10 comprises a first 12 and a second sub-mechanism 54, each of the sub-mechanisms being driven by its own electric motor which have been described.
  • the Mechanism further comprises a release mechanism 8 and a transmitter 9.
