Abstract:
A control device is used to move a pick-up tmck tailgate. Tue control device comprises a first gear arrangement connected to a drive cup and a second gear arrangement that is connected to a motor for driving the second gear arrangement. Tue control device also includes a clutch arrangement positioned between the first and second gear arrangements. When the clutch arrangement is in an engaged position, it couples the first gear arrangement and the second gear arrangement to transmit torque to the first gear ar- rangement and the drive cup. When the clutch arrange- ment is in the disengaged position, the first and second gear arrangements are not coupled. Optionally, the control device comprises a brake unit to slow or stop movement of the tailgate. The control device can be positioned within the pick-up truck tailgate
Abstract:
Un dispositivo de control (100) para una puerta trasera de vehículo que comprende: a. una disposición de engranajes (113); b. una copa de accionamiento (9) conectada a la disposición de engranajes (113), donde la copa de accionamiento (9) se puede conectar de forma liberable a una caja de camioneta (1) del vehículo; c. una unidad de freno (130) configurada para detener o ralentizar el movimiento de la disposición de engranajes (113); d. una disposición de embrague (114) conectada a la disposición de engranajes (113), la disposición de embrague (114) se puede mover entre una posición engranada y una posición desengranada, de modo que, en la posición engranada, la disposición de embrague (114) acople la disposición de engranajes (113) con la unidad de freno (130), y, en la posición desengranada, la disposición de engranajes (113) y la unidad de freno (130) no se acoplan; e. un sensor de movimiento angular (127) configurado para detectar un cambio en la velocidad y dirección del movimiento de la disposición de engranajes (113) cuando la disposición de engranajes (113) está girando, y para generar información de movimiento de puerta trasera sobre el cambio; y f. un controlador (126) configurado para recibir la información de movimiento de puerta trasera enviada desde el sensor de movimiento angular (127), y para ordenar a la disposición de embrague (114) que se mueva entre la posición engranada y la posición desengranada en función de la información; g. donde el dispositivo de control se puede posicionar dentro de la puerta trasera; y h. un amortiguador giratorio (250) que se acopla con la disposición de engranajes (113) en el que el amortiguador rotativo (250) limita un índice de rotación de la disposición de engranajes (113) cuando la disposición de embrague (114) está en la posición desengranada.
Abstract:
An automotive door system includes a hinge supporting a door. A door check module interconnects to one of the vehicle and the door by a linkage assembly. An output shaft is connected to the linkage assembly and rotates relative to a door check module housing. The output shaft provides an output torque to check the door in a desired door position. A sensor detects rotation of the shaft and produces a signal in response thereto. A brake assembly includes a shaft member operatively connected to the output shaft. The brake assembly has a normally closed position in which the shaft member is grounded to the housing in a door check mode. The brake assembly includes an open position that corresponds to one of a door closing mode and a door opening mode. The brake assembly moves from the normally closed position to the open position in response to the signal.

Abstract:
A method of actuating a door includes the steps of manually pivoting a door in an opening or closing direction about a hinge to open or close the door, providing a manual input in response to both opening the door and closing the door, detecting the manual input, and energizing a motor to drive the door in the direction in response to the manual input.

Abstract:
A door power drive module includes a housing and a motor arranged in the housing. First and second gearboxes are arranged in the housing and are coupled in series with one another by a shaft member. The first gearbox connects the motor to the second gearbox. An output shaft is coupled to the second gearbox. A brake assembly is selectively connected to the shaft member. The brake assembly has a normally closed position in which the shaft member is grounded to the housing. The brake assembly includes an open position corresponding to one of a door closing mode and a door opening mode. The shaft member is configured to be rotatable relative to the housing in the brake open position in response to the motor driving the first gearbox. The brake assembly includes a holding torque in the normally closed position. A torque is applied to the brake assembly above the holding torque that permits the shaft member to rotate in any direction of rotation. A position sensor is configured to detect rotation of the output shaft.
