- the conventional entrapment detection device has a motor-driven trunk lid, and indirectly entraps the object based on a change in the driving state of the motor that occurs when an object is interposed between the body opening and the trunk lid.
- an object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an entrapment detection device and an opening / closing device that reliably detect entrapment by a trunk lid with a lower load.
- the present invention provides a pressure-sensitive sensor disposed on a periphery of a trunk lid of a vehicle, and a pod opening of the vehicle and the trunk lid based on an output signal of the pressure-sensitive sensor. It is provided with a judging means for detecting the entrapment of an object in between, and the entrapment in the trunk lid can be detected by the pressure sensor.

- the pressure sensor has a flexible piezoelectric sensor and is disposed on the trunk lid using a contact-type pressure switch composed of a plurality of electrodes facing each other as the pressure sensor, the trunk lid If there is a bent portion, the force of the electrodes touching each other there and erroneous detection will occur. Even if the piezoelectric sensor has no contact and is arranged in the bent portion, the pinch can be detected without erroneous detection, and the reliability will be improved.
- the pressure-sensitive sensor has a nonlinear flexure member whose displacement amount with respect to the load is non-linear, and the piezoelectric sensor is disposed adjacent to the nonlinear flexure member, for example, when the closing speed of the trunk lid is low.
- the non-linear bending member is suddenly deformed, and the adjacently arranged piezoelectric sensor is also suddenly deformed and has a large output.
- a signal is output, and the pinching can be determined by the determination means, thereby further improving the reliability of pinching detection.

- the pressure-sensitive sensor has a buffer that can be re-compressed by the pressure of the sandwiched object. Even if the trapping is detected, the buffer is compressed until the trunk lid is reversed, so It is possible to suppress an increase in the applied sandwiching load, and to reduce stress and damage to the sandwiched object.
- the apparatus includes the above-described entrapment detection device and driving means for driving the trunk lid, and has control means for controlling the driving means so as to cancel the entrapment at the time of the entrapment determination based on the output signal of the judging means. Sometimes, the pinching is released, so that unnecessary pinching can be stopped in the P direction.
- the driving means is controlled so that the trunk lid is once moved in the opening direction by a predetermined distance and then closed, so that an object is in contact with the piezoelectric sensor before the trunk lid starts to close. Even after moving the trunk lid a predetermined distance in the opening direction, By performing the closing operation, the inertial force of the object moved in the opening direction is applied to the piezoelectric sensor by the closing operation, and the piezoelectric sensor is reliably pressed, so that the entrapment can be reliably detected.

- the determination means determines whether or not the object is continuously in contact with the pressure-sensitive sensor based on the output signal of the piezoelectric sensor, it is determined that the object is continuously in contact with the pressure-sensitive sensor, for example. In such a case, it is possible to control such that the closing of the trunk lid is prohibited, thereby improving reliability.
- FIG. 9 is a characteristic diagram showing the applied voltage Vm to the driving means 24.
- the vertical axis is Vm
- the horizontal axis is time t.
- the trunk lid 1 In the direction, and after time t7, the trunk lid 1 is closed with Vm set to + Vd until completely closed at time t8.
- the setting of the time from the time t6 to the time t7 may be optimized by the weight of the trunk lid 1, the capacity of the driving means 24, and the like, but may be at least several hundred milliseconds.
- the piezoelectric sensor 8 will not be sufficiently deformed even if the trunk lid 1 force ⁇ closing operation is started, and
- the trunk lid 1 is once moved in the opening direction by a predetermined distance and then closed, whereby the inertial force of the object moved in the opening direction is sensed by the closing operation.
- the pressure applied to the pressure sensor 2 increases the pressure applied to the pressure-sensitive sensor 2, and the piezoelectric sensor 8 is sufficiently deformed, so that the entrapment can be reliably detected.
- the closing operation is stopped after performing the closing operation for a predetermined time, and then the trunk lid 1 is temporarily moved in the opening direction as described above. It may be configured to perform the closing operation after moving a distance.
- the pressure-sensitive sensor is arranged to be able to bend along the shape of the trunk lid of the vehicle, it is possible to detect pinching by the trunk lid. It has an effect.
- the pressure sensor has a flexible piezoelectric sensor and is not a contact-type pressure-sensitive switch but a non-contact sensor, pinching can be detected without erroneous detection even if it is installed at a bent part, This has the effect of improving reliability.
- the pressure-sensitive sensor has a non-linear flexure member whose displacement amount with respect to the load is non-linear, and the piezoelectric sensor is disposed in contact with the non-linear flexure member. Even if it is trapped, if the pressure load on the pressure-sensitive sensor by the object exceeds a predetermined value, the nonlinear flexure member is suddenly deformed, and the adjacent piezoelectric sensor is also suddenly deformed and generates a large output signal. Then, the jamming can be judged by the judging means and the reliability of the jamming detection is further improved.
- the determining means determines whether or not the object is continuing to contact the pressure-sensitive sensor based on the output signal of the piezoelectric sensor. Prohibiting the closure of the lid makes it possible to control the vehicle at any time, while improving the reliability has an effect.
- the pressure-sensitive sensor since the pressure-sensitive sensor has a buffer that can be recompressed by being pressed by the sandwiched object, the buffer is compressed until the trunk lid reverses even if the trapping is detected. This has the effect of suppressing the increase in the sandwiching load and reducing the stress and damage to the sandwiched object.
- the present invention includes the above-described pinch detection device and a drive unit that drives the trunk lid, and further includes a control unit that controls the drive unit to release the pinch at the time of pinch determination based on an output signal of the determination unit. Since the pinching is released at the time of the pinching determination, unnecessary pinching can be prevented.
- the driving means is controlled so that the trunk lid is once moved in the opening direction by a predetermined distance and then closed, and even if an object is in contact with the piezoelectric sensor before the closing of the trunk lid starts.
- the trunk lid is once moved in the opening direction by a predetermined distance and then closed, the inertial force of the object that has moved in the opening direction is applied to the piezoelectric sensor by the closing operation, and the piezoelectric sensor is reliably pressed. This has the effect that pinching can be reliably detected.
