[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a canvas top control device for an automobile, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a canvas top control device for an automobile, and more particularly, when the top member is stored in the storage position at the rear of the vehicle body, the trunk is prevented from opening. The present invention relates to a control device.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Canvas top systems are already known in vehicles such as automobiles, in which a large opening provided in the roof is covered with a foldable hood member that can be opened and closed in order to provide a wide open feeling in the roof.

In such a system, the rear end of the hood member is fixed to the rear part of the roof, the front end is attached to a sliding body guided by guide rails provided on both sides of the opening, and the sliding body is moved back and forth to close the opening. Many of them are configured to open and close the parts. Incidentally, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-30525 describes an apparatus for this type of system.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional canvas top system, when opening the canopy, the sliding body is moved rearward while the canopy member is folded and stored in a storage position at the rear of the roof. Therefore, even when the opening is fully opened, the rear portion of the roof housing the hood member cannot be opened, resulting in a problem in that a sufficient sense of openness cannot be achieved.

For this reason, similar to the conventional system described above, the hood member can be folded to the rear of the roof and locked in that position, and the hood member can be lowered further rearward by the moving means and placed above the trunk lid. in the storage position! ! Systems have been proposed that can also store 2x. In such a system, it is desirable that measures be taken to prevent the trunk from being opened when the top member is in the retracted position.

This is because it is necessary to avoid contact or interference between the hood member and the trunk lid in the retracted state, and to prevent damage or damage to both.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and is a canvas top system that allows the hood member to be moved and stored further rearward from the roof, and when the hood member is stored, it is not possible to open the trunk. The challenge is to prevent this from happening.

[Means to solve the problem]

As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 2, the present invention relates to an automobile in which a roof opening 2 is covered with a hood member 3 so as to be openable and closable. 3 from a storage position C where it is stored on the roof 4 with the roof opening 2 open to a storage position H at the rear of the vehicle body 1; and a trunk locking means 13 for locking the trunk lid 5. , a hood storage state detection means 32 detects that the hood member 3 is stored in the storage position C, and when the hood storage state detection means 32 detects that the hood member 3 is stored, the trunk lock is activated. Means 1
Trunk opening operation prohibition means 15 is provided for prohibiting unlocking of the trunk.

[For production]

When the hood member 3 is moved to the storage position H on the trunk lid 5 by the drive means 10, it is detected by the hood storage state detection means 32, and the trunk opening operation prohibition means 15 is detected by the detection signal from the hood storage state detection means 32. is activated, and unlocking of the trunk locking means 13 is prohibited.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention provides a driving means for moving a hood member from a storage position on the roof to a storage position at the rear of a vehicle body with a roof opening open, a trunk locking means for locking a trunk lid, and a hood member. hood storage state detection means for detecting that the hood member is stored in the storage position; and when the hood storage state detection means detects that the hood member is stored, the trunk locking means is unlocked. Since the trunk opening operation inhibiting means is provided, the hood member and the trunk are prevented from coming into contact with each other or interfering with each other, thereby preventing damage and damage to them.

〔Example〕

The present invention will be described in detail below based on examples thereof.

The automotive canvas top control device shown in this example is as follows:
The canvas top system has been adopted to allow the canopy component stored at the rear of the roof to be moved and stored further back, and the trunk cannot be opened when the canopy component is stored at the rear of the vehicle body. This is to prevent these scratches and damage.

Figures 26 to 2 showing the overall view of the canvas top car
As shown in FIG. 8, the roof opening 2 of the vehicle body 1 is covered by a hood member 3 that can be opened and closed. From the closed position shown in FIG.
It is slid rearward along the upper rule 28, folded onto the board member 24, stored and locked in storage position C at the rear of the roof 4, and the roof opening 2 is fully opened. There is. Then, with the hood member 3 folded onto the board member 24, slide it from the rear of the roof 4 to the rear of the rear window 35, and place it in the storage position H on the support stand 7 provided on the trunk lid 5. 2
As shown in Figure 8, it can be stored and locked.

On the other hand, the trunk lid 5 can be opened upward by operating a trunk opener switch 6 provided in the driver's seat or a key only when the top member 3 is not stored in the storage position H. It's like that.

In order to smoothly, safely, and reliably perform the opening/closing, storage, unlocking, and movement of the canopy member 3, the storage/locking operations, and the trunk locking operation, the steps shown in Fig. 1 (
b) and a control system as shown in FIG.

The opening/closing operation of the hood member 3 is performed by a motor unit 8 provided on the board member 24, as shown in FIG.
The roof opening 2 is folded at an open position K on the board member 24, so that the roof opening 2 is fully opened. Then, when the hood member 3 is slid backward by a predetermined distance from the open value 'IIK on the board member 24 by the motor unit 8, the lock mechanism 9a is unlocked. Next, the board member 24 is moved to the storage position H at the rear of the hood members 3 & 6 via the rocker #RS by the motor unit 10 which is a driving means provided on the vehicle body l side.
will be moved to When the canopy member 3 on the board member 24 is slid and returned to the open position K forward by a predetermined distance by the motor unit 8, the board member 24 is locked onto the support base 7 by the locking mechanism 9b. In this locked state, the motor unit 8 causes the canopy member 3 to
The board member 24 is released by sliding backward from the open position K by the predetermined distance, and the board member 24 can be moved to the storage position C on the roof 4 and the canopy member 3 can be closed. .

When the hood member 3 is stored in the storage position H, in order to avoid contact or interference between the hood member 3 and the board member 24 and the trunk lid 5, a trunk opening operation inhibiting means 15 is installed as described later. The trunk locking means 13 is locked, and the trunk lid 5 is prevented from opening regardless of the driver's trunk opening operation.

The positional states of the hood member 3 and the board member 24 are detected by limit switches 30, 31, 32, and 33. That is, the board member 24 includes a limit switch 30 that detects that the hood member 3 has been moved to the open position K, and a limit switch 30 that detects when the hood member 3 is slid a predetermined distance backward from the open position K on the board member 24. , and a limit switch 31 for detecting that the board member 24 is unlocked.

A limit switch 32 is provided on the support base 7 of the trunk lid 5 to detect whether the board member 24 on which the folded top member 3 is placed is moved to the storage position I]. You can now check. In this storage position H, the canopy member 3 is attached to the board member 2.
4. When the lock mechanism 9b returns to the open position K from the state where it has been slid backward a predetermined distance from the upper open position K, the lock mechanism 9b
As a result, the board member 24 is locked to the support base 7, which is confirmed by the limit switch 30.

When the canopy member 3 retreats to a position a predetermined distance backward from the open position K on the board member 24, the lock is released, the position is confirmed by the limit switch 31, and the board member 24 is moved to the storage position C of the roof 4. You will be able to move to. On the other hand, a limit switch 33 is provided on the base frame 23 of the vehicle body l, and can detect that the board member 24 has been moved from the storage position H to the storage position C.

In addition, the instrument panel (not shown) has a first
As shown in Figure (b), there is a trunk opener switch 6 that is selectively operated by the driver, main switches 12a and 12b that operate the opening/closing and vertical movement of the top member 3;
12c is provided.

The main switch 12a has an OPN contact for opening the canopy member 3 and a CLS contact for closing the hood member, and the main switch 12b has an OPN contact for opening the hood member 3, and a CLS contact for closing the hood member 3.
The DOWN contact for moving the board member 24 to the storage position C, the UP contact for moving the board member 24 to the storage position C, and the main switch 12c are used to store the canopy member 3 from the closed state and then continuously move it to the storage position G. AUT contacts are provided for each.

The control unit 11 is composed of a microcomputer, and controls and drives the motor unit 8 and IO according to instructions from the driver according to a pre-stored program, thereby controlling the overall operation of the canvas top system as described above. be. control unit 1
On the input side of 1, there are an ignition contact IG2 for receiving power supply, main switches 12a, 12b, 12
c1 and limit switches 30, 31, 32°33 are connected. On the other hand, on the output side, a solenoid 17, which constitutes a trunk opening operation inhibiting means 15 provided in the trunk locking means 13 and receives power from the ignition contact 1G2 via a relay switch 17b, and relays 8a, 8b, and A motor unit 8.10 is connected via 10a, 10b, which receives power from the ignition contacts.

This control unit 11 includes a main switch 1
When receiving a signal instructing an opening/closing operation from 2a, an opening/closing control section 11a outputs an operating signal to the motor unit 8 to control the opening/closing operation of the hood member 3, and receives a signal instructing a movement operation from the main switch 12b. and motor unit 8
an lock release control unit 11b that outputs an activation signal to move the hood member 3 as described above and release the lock of the board member 24 in the locked state; and the board member 240
When the lock is released, the top movement control section 11C outputs an activation signal to the motor unit IO to move the board member 24 from the storage position C to the storage position H, or from the storage position H to the storage position C. It is provided. and,
When the canopy member 3 is stored in the storage position H on the support base 7, an ON signal from the limit switch 32 causes
A trunk lock circuit lid is provided which demagnetizes the solenoid 17 and interlocks the trunk lock means 13 by opening the relay switch 17b. In addition, this trunk in clock circuit lid
When the driver takes off the key and exits the vehicle, power is supplied directly from battery B (see FIG. 6(a)).

As shown in FIG. 6(a), the trunk locking means 13 is comprised of a solenoid 16 and a trunk locking mechanism 18, which are energized when the trunk opener switch 6 is turned on, and lock normally when the trunk lid 5 is closed. The trunk opener switch 6 is turned on or the key is unlocked to release the lock. In particular, in this embodiment, when the hood member 3 is stored in the storage position H,
so that the trunk locking means 13 is interlocked,
A solenoid 17 that demagnetizes when the relay switch 17b is opened in response to an in-lock command from the trunk interlock circuit 11d is arranged in correspondence with the upper and lower trunk lock mechanisms 18. This ink lock by the trunk ink lock circuit lid is different from the normal lock state, and as described above, the ink lock by the trunk opener switch 6
It is not released by the key or key, but is released only by an uninterlock command sent from the trunk interlock circuit lid when the top member 3 is moved from the storage position H.

In the trunk lock mechanism 18, a lock lever 21, which is provided on the trunk lid 5 side and pivoted by a support shaft 20, is urged to rotate clockwise by a spring 19, and a lock recess formed in the lower part of the lock lever 21 is rotated clockwise by a spring 19. 21
a is engaged with a hinge 1a on the vehicle body side to maintain a locked state as shown in the figure, and is configured to be unlocked when rotated counterclockwise from the shown state.

That is, the protrusion 2 protruding from the upper end of the lock lever 21
1b is loosely fitted into the long hole 16b formed in the plunger 16a of the solenoid 16, and when the solenoid 16 is energized by turning on the trunk opener switch 6, the plunger 16a moves in the direction of the arrow p. The lock lever 21 is rotated counterclockwise to release the locked state.

Although not shown, by inserting a key into a trunk key cylinder arranged perpendicularly to the plane of the paper and operating the lock, the lock lever 21 can be directly rotated counterclockwise to release the locked state. You can also do it.

On the other hand, the plunger 17a of the solenoid 17 provided on the side of the vehicle body 1 engages the lock lever 21 in the interlock state in a demagnetized state corresponding to the ink lock recess 21c formed on the back of the lock lever 21. It is positioned so that it stops. In this demagnetized state, as described above, the hood member 3 is in the retracted position H, the relay switch 17b is opened in response to the interlock command from the trunk ink clock circuit lid, and the solenoid 17 is demagnetized, so that the plunger 17a is moved upward, and the trunk locking means 13 is in an in-locked state, which will not be released even by an unlocking operation of the trunk opener switch 6 or the trunk key. When the hood member 3 is moved from the stored value IH and an uninterrupt command is sent from the trunk ink clock circuit lid, the relay switch 17b is closed, the solenoid 17 is energized, and the plunger 17a is
moves downward to release the latching state from the lock lever 21, and the ink lock is released. When this ink lock is released, the normal lock state is achieved.

Therefore, when the driver gets out of the vehicle with the hood member 3 stored in the storage position)-[, the trunk lid 5 remains locked, and the driver carelessly locks the trunk lid 5 with the key from outside the vehicle. Even if I try to open 5, it won't open. At that time, get on the vehicle again and move the top member 3 from the stored value MH to the stored position C.
After releasing the ink lock of the trunk lock means 13, the trunk opener switch 6 or the key can be used to open the trunk. The dashed line is enclosed so that even when the driver removes the key and exits the vehicle, the trunk lid 5 can be opened and closed without any problem and the trunk lock system will operate without wasting battery B. An auxiliary circuit 11fl is provided. The auxiliary circuit 11fl includes a switch 5a that closes when the key is inserted into the trunk key cylinder, a switch 5b that turns on just before the trunk lid 5 closes, and a timer TM that is connected to the switch 5a. , switch 5b, and timer TM are connected in parallel to connect the normally closed contact of relay switch 17b and battery B. With this auxiliary circuit 1ift, if you get off the vehicle while the top member 3 is in the storage position C,
Although the relay switch 17b is closed by the uninterlock command from the trunk interlock circuit lid,
IC2 is turned off, solenoid 17 is demagnetized, plunger 17a moves upward, and an interlock state is established. However, when the driver opens the trunk lid 5 with the key, the switch 5a turns on and the solenoid 17
As soon as power is supplied from battery B, plunger 17a moves downward, and the interlock of trunk locking means 13 is released. In addition, when closing the opened trunk lid 5 with the key removed, the solenoid 17 is demagnetized and the plunger 17a moves upward, but just before the trunk lid 5 is closed, the switch 5b is turned on and the plan is turned on. The jar 17a moves downward, and the lock lever 21 comes into contact with the hinge 1a, so that counterclockwise rotation is not hindered. Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the timer TM turns off, and the power from battery B is cut off.

Therefore, while the vehicle is stopped, the trunk lock means 13 and the ink lock system operate normally without wasting the power of battery B.

Incidentally, the auxiliary circuit 11f2 provided in the trunk ink clock circuit lid may be configured as shown in FIG. 6(b). That is, the relay switch 170b is normally open, the plunger 170a of the solenoid 170 is in the lower position in a demagnetized state, and is energized in the upper position, and the relay switch 1 is closed by an interlock command from the trunk in clock circuit lid.
70b is closed and the plunger 170a is moved upward so that the trunk locking means 13 is locked.

In this case, when the hood member 3 is in the retracted position I with the key removed, the relay switch 170b is closed by an interlock command from the trunk-in clock circuit lid, but IO2 and the switch 5a are turned off, and the solenoid 170 is demagnetized and the plunger 170a is in the lower position shown by the solid line, so the trunk locking means 13 is in an uninterlocked state. However, when attempting to directly open the trunk lid 5 with the key, the switch 5a turns on, the solenoid 170 receives power from the battery B and is energized, the plunger 170a moves upward, and the trunk locking means 13 is locked. state, and opening of the trunk lid 5 is prohibited.

The control operation of the trunk-in lock system is basically shown in the flowchart of FIG.

That is, when the limit switch 32 detects that the canopy member 3 is stored in the storage position [I on the support base 7 (step 1, hereinafter referred to as 31, etc.), the detection signal is sent to the control unit 7) 11 The trunk interlock circuit 11d is activated (S2), and the relay switch 17b is excited and opened by the interlock command signal from the trunk interlock circuit 11d (S3).
), the solenoid 17 is demagnetized (S4), and the trunk locking means 13 is interlocked. As mentioned above, even if the driver turns on the trunk opener switch 6 or repeatedly unlocks the trunk key cylinder with the key, the trunk lid 5 remains in an interlocked state and will not open. There is. If it is not detected in step 1 that the top member 3 has been moved to the storage position H, an uninterlock command is sent from the trunk interlock circuit lid (S5), and the relay switch 17b is closed (S6). , the solenoid 17 is energized and the interlock of the trunk locking means 13 is released.

The operation of the canvas top control system incorporating such a trunk interlock system will be explained based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

(1) When the canopy member 3 in the closed state is opened and retracted, as shown in FIG. 4, when the OPN contact of the main switch 12a is turned on (Sll), the control unit 11 opens and closes. A normal rotation signal is output from the control section 11a to the motor unit 8, and the hood member 3 slides backward due to the normal rotation operation of the motor unit 8 (312). When the limit switch 30 is turned on (313)
, the motor unit 8 should stop S14), the hood member 3
is folded and stored in the open position K on the board member 24 in the storage position C, and the roof opening 2 is fully opened.

Then, when the DOWN contact of the main switch 12b is turned on (315), a forward rotation signal is output from the lock release control section 11b to the motor unit 8, and the forward rotation of the motor unit 8 causes the hood member 3 to rotate (Si2). further retreats by a predetermined distance, and the limit switch 31 is turned on (
S17) and stops at the position (818). At this time, the locking of the board member 24 by the locking means 9a is released.

Next, the motor unit l is transferred from the hood upward movement control section 11c.
A normal rotation signal is output to O, and by the normal rotation of the motor unit 10, the board member 24 storing the top member 3 is moved rearward via the swing mechanism S (519), and the board member 24 is moved toward the trunk lid. When the motor unit 10 is placed on the support stand 7 of No. 5 and the limit switch 32 is turned on (S20), the motor unit 10 is stopped (S21). At this time, the flow from step 2 onwards in FIG. 3 is executed, the trunk lock circuit lid is activated (S2), and the trunk lock means 13 is locked (S4).

In this state, as described above, even if the driver turns on the trunk opener switch 6 or attempts to unlock the trunk with the key, the trunk lid 5 remains interlocked and will not open.

On the other hand, following step 21, the lock release control section 11a
A reverse rotation signal is output to the motor unit 8, and the motor unit 8 starts a reverse rotation operation (522), and the top member 3 moves forward until it reaches the open position K on the board member 24.
When the vehicle moves forward to the limit, the limit switch 30 is turned on (S
23) It is detected that the board member 24 is locked onto the support base 7 by the locking mechanism 9b, and the motor unit 8 is stopped (S24).

(2) When the hood member 3 in the retracted state is moved onto the roof 4 and closed, as shown in FIG. 5, when the UP contact of the main switch 12b is turned on (S31 ), the motor unit 8 starts normal rotation (S32). When the canopy member 3 retreats a predetermined distance from the open position K on the board member 24 which is in the locked state at the storage position H, and the limit switch 31 is turned on (333),
The board member 24 is unlocked and the motor unit 8
stops (S34). Next, motor unit 1
0 begins to reverse (535), and the board member 24 is moved upward from the storage position H. At this time, when the limit switch 32 is turned off (336), step 5 in FIG.
Then, the ink lock of the trunk lock means 13 is released by an uninterlock command from the trunk ink lock circuit lid.

On the other hand, when the limit switch 33 is turned on (S37),
It is confirmed that the board member 24 has been moved to the storage position Hc, the motor unit 10 stops (338), and the motor unit 8 starts reverse rotation (539), and the hood member 3 advances a predetermined distance and returns to the open position. The limit switch 30 is turned on at K (S40), and the board member 24 is moved to the roof 4.
The motor unit 8 is locked in the example storage position C and stops (S41).

After the driver confirms the stored state, when the CLS contact of the main switch 12a is turned on (
S42), the motor unit 8 rotates in reverse 543), and the hood member 3 slides in the closing direction and stops in the fully closed state (S4
4).

Note that the canopy member 3 can be stopped at any position during the opening/closing operation. That is, when the OPN contact of the main switch 12a or the CLS contact of the main switch 12b is turned off in steps 12 to 13 in FIG. 4 or steps 45 to 46 in FIG. 5, the hood member 3 stops at that position.

Incidentally, when the hood member 3 in the closed state is opened and stored in the storage position H continuously, when the AUT contact of the main switch 12c is turned on, the hood member 3 in the fully closed state is opened. After being stored on the No. 3 board member 24, step 12 to step 1 in FIG.
7, move the hood member 3 to the open position K on the board member 24.
The motor unit 8 is stopped by sliding the motor unit 8 backward by a predetermined distance to a position where the lock is released (S18).
The process immediately proceeds to step 19 and subsequent steps. Therefore, a series of operations from storage to movement, storage, and locking of the canopy member 3 are performed continuously in a fully automatic manner, and when the canopy member 3 is moved onto the support base 7 together with the board member 24, the limit switch 32 detected (S20), the third
The flow from step 1 in the figure is executed, and the trunk lock means 13 is in-locked. Note that while the AUT contact of the main switch 12c is turned on, the CLS contact of the main switch 12a or the main switch 1
When the UP contact 2b is turned on, the motor unit 8
Alternatively, the motor unit 10 starts reverse rotation, and the hood member 3 closes or moves upward.

In this way, the trunk interlock system is incorporated into the canvas top control system, and when the top member 3 is stored in the storage position H, the trunk lid 5 is in-locked. 3 and the trunk lid 5 do not come into contact with each other or interfere with each other, safety is improved and the hood member 3 and the trunk lid 5 are prevented from being damaged or damaged.

The structure and mechanical system of a preferred canvas top system for implementing the above-described control will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 29, the canvas top vehicle has a vertically elongated opening 22 formed in the roof 4, into which the canvas top assembly Z is assembled.

When the front moving device Q further slides rearward from this state, the slide body 122 of the rear moving device R slides rearward with respect to the bracket 89, as shown in FIG. Similarly to the case of the moving device Q, the second panel 82 moves upward and is separated from the sealing surface of the base frame 23. At this time, the height difference before and after the rotation of the first engagement pin 129 of the first link 126 in the front movable bag RQ and the third guide groove 12 of the third link 128 are determined.
By appropriately setting the relative relationship between the second panel 82 and the first rule 28, the second panel 82 is made to be substantially parallel to the second rule 28. Therefore, in the connected state between the front moving device Q and the rear moving device R, the first panel 81 and the second panel
Since the inclination angles of the panels 82 are different, the first panel 81 and the second panel 82 are stored in an overlapping state in the vertical direction, and there is a sufficient gap between them to accommodate the first canvas 84. will be done.

When the cable lOO is pulled further rearward, the front moving device Q and the rear moving device R integrally slide rearward while folding the second canvas 85, and move from the second rule 28 to the second rail 29 side. Then, as shown in FIG. 17, it is stored on the board member 24 at the storage position C together with the hood member 3. In this state, the first panel 81 and the second panel
The panel 82 and the third panel 83 are folded in an overlapping state, and the first canvas 84 is between the first panel 81 and the second panel 82, and the second canvas 85 is between the second panel 82 and the third panel. They are each housed between the panel 83 and the panel 83. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 18,
A folding guide member 50 is provided at the rear end portions of the first panel 81 and the second panel 82 to prevent the first canvas 84 and the second canvas 85 from being bent at a sharp angle.

On the other hand, when the top member 3 is closed from its open state, the front side moving device Q and the rear side moving device R are operated until the rear side moving device R reaches a predetermined position in the closed position of the top member 3, i.e. , the locking pin 133 in the rear moving device R moves forward in the connected state until it reaches the position of the second notch 73 (see FIG. 14) of the second rule 28. When the locking pin 133 engages in the second notch 73 of the second rule 28, the arm 135 rotates downward, and accordingly, the slide bin 134 moves to the locking portion 107 of the front moving device Q. The front moving device Q and the arm 13
The connection with 5 is canceled.

Therefore, from then on, only the front moving device Q moves forward to its original position, leaving the rear moving device R behind.
The canopy member 3 is positioned in the closed position. That is, during the closing operation, the top member 3 is extended in order from the rear side of the vehicle body 1.

This takes place by means of a motor unit 8.10 which is controlled and driven via the motor unit 8.10. Therefore, as mentioned above, the driver no longer needs to get out of the vehicle and lock or unlock the hood member 3, unlike in the past, which improves comfort and safety. I will do it.

Particularly, since the unlocking operation is performed smoothly by simply and reliably sliding the canopy member 3 backward by a predetermined distance from the open position K by the motor unit 8, there is no need to provide a separate member for unlocking. This makes it easier to control.

Therefore, troubles are less likely to occur, and the operability of the canvas top system is significantly improved.

By providing the above-mentioned trunk ink lock system to the canvas top system that operates smoothly, safety is improved and the hood member 3, board member 24, and trunk lid 5 are prevented from being damaged or damaged. , the commercial value of the vehicle will be further increased.

In this embodiment, a solenoid is used as an actuator for interlocking the trunk locking means, but an electromagnetic locking motor may be used to interlock the lock lever. In addition, when configuring a trunk lock system intended only for driving, a relay switch is connected to the trunk opener switch 6, and when an interlock command is sent from the trunk opener switch 6, the trunk opener switch 6 A circuit may be provided to cut off the power supply.
