【Example】

[First Embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Since the electrical configuration of the remote control device is the same as the conventional one, the same members are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

A door opening / closing actuator 11 as opening control means for opening / closing individual doors (not shown) is connected to the controller 9 as unlocking control means and opening control means of the receiver 3. In this embodiment, four doors are assumed, and four door opening / closing actuators 11 are actually connected to the controller 9.

When the determination result that the ID code as the identification code is matched is output to the controller 9, the controller 9 outputs a command signal to the unlocking actuator as unlocking control means provided in each door. It is designed to output to 10. Actuator for unlocking 10
Locks or unlocks the door based on the command signal. or,
When the unlocking actuator 10 locks or unlocks the respective doors, the unlocking actuator 10 outputs a completion signal to the controller 9.

Upon receiving the unlocking completion signal from the unlocking actuator 10, the controller 9 outputs an opening signal to the door opening / closing actuator 11.
When the door opened by the door opening / closing actuator 11 is not opened and the vehicle engine starts, a closing signal is output to the door opening / closing actuator 11. Then, the door opening / closing actuator 11 closes the door.

When the operation button 5 of the transmitter 2 is operated, the transmitter 2 reads the ID code stored in a memory (not shown) provided in the transmitter 2 based on the operation. The transmitter 2 modulates the read ID code and then transmits it to the receiver 3 by infrared rays.

The receiving circuit 6 of the receiver 3 demodulates the ID code transmitted from the transmitter 2 and then outputs the demodulated ID code to the judging circuit 8 as a judging means. The determination circuit 8 determines whether or not the ID code transmitted from the transmitter 2 and the ID code stored in the ID code memory 7 as the identification code memory match.

If the judging circuit 8 judges that the ID codes do not match with each other, it judges that the transmitted ID codes are different, stops the subsequent processing, and waits for the ID codes to be transmitted again.

Further, when the judging circuit 8 judges that the ID codes match with each other, it outputs the judgment result to the controller 9. The controller 9 outputs a command signal to the unlocking actuator 10 based on the determination result from the determination circuit 8 to lock or unlock the four doors. The unlocking / locking actuator 10 locks if the door at that time is unlocked, and unlocks if the door is locked. The unlocking actuator 10 outputs a lock completion signal to the controller 9 when the door is locked. At this time, the controller 9 receives the lock completion signal and ends the operation.

On the other hand, the unlocking actuator 10 outputs an unlocking completion signal to the controller 9 when the door is unlocked. Then, the controller 9 outputs an opening signal to the door opening / closing actuator 11. The door opening / closing actuator 11 opens the door based on the opening signal.

Therefore, even if both hands are blocked by baggage or the like, the door can be opened to a predetermined position by inserting a finger or the like into the gap between the vehicle and the door. As a result, the work of opening and closing the door can be easily performed.

If the opened door cannot be closed,
When the engine is started, the controller 9 outputs a closing signal to the door opening / closing actuator 11 again to close the opened door. As a result, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from traveling with the door open. [Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The same components as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition to the operation button 5, the transmitter 2 is provided with an opening button 13 as a door opening button.
The door can be opened arbitrarily by operating the opening button 13. That is, when the operation button 5 is operated and the release button 13 is operated, the transmitter 2 reads the ID code and the release code from a memory (not shown) based on these operations. The transmitter 2 modulates these codes and outputs them to the transmitter 3 as infrared rays. If only the operation button 5 is operated,
The release code is not transmitted to the receiver 3.

The receiving circuit 6 of the receiver 3 demodulates the ID code and the open code and outputs them to the judging circuit 8. Judgment circuit 8
Determines whether or not the ID code transmitted from the transmitter 2 matches the ID code stored in the ID code memory 7. When the determination circuit 8 determines that the ID codes match each other, the determination circuit 8 determines whether or not the open code is transmitted from the transmitter 2. Then, when the release code is transmitted, the determination circuit 8 outputs the determination result including the transmission of the release code to the controller 9. Further, when the release code is not transmitted, only the determination result that the ID codes match is output to the controller 9.

The controller 9 determines the unlocking actuator 1 based on the determination result that the release code has been transmitted.
A command signal is output to 0. Then, the unlocking actuator 10 unlocks or locks the door. Upon completion of unlocking or locking, the unlocking actuator 10 outputs an unlocking or locking completion signal to the controller 9.

When the unlocking completion signal is input to the controller 9 from the unlocking actuator 10, the controller 9 outputs an opening signal to the door opening / closing actuator 11.

When only the judgment result that the ID codes match is output to the controller 9, even if the unlocking completion signal is output from the unlocking actuator 10 to the controller 9, the controller 9 opens and closes the door. No opening signal is output to the actuator 11, that is, the door is not opened.

Now, first, a case where only the operation button 5 is operated will be described. Based on the operation of the operation button 5, the transmitter 2 reads the ID code from a memory (not shown). The transmitter 2 modulates this ID code and outputs it to the receiver 3 as infrared rays. The reception circuit 6 of the receiver 3 demodulates the ID code and outputs it to the determination circuit 8. The determination circuit 8 determines whether the ID code transmitted from the transmitter 2 and the ID code stored in the ID code memory 7 match.
If the determination circuit 8 determines that the ID codes do not match,
It judges that the transmitted ID codes are different and stops the subsequent processing, and waits for the next ID code to be transmitted.

When the judgment circuit 8 judges that the ID codes of the two coincide with each other, the judgment result is output to the controller 9. The controller 9 outputs a command signal to the unlocking actuator 10 based on this determination result. The unlocking actuator 10 unlocks or locks the door based on the command signal. Then, the unlocking actuator 10
When unlocking or locking is completed, outputs an unlocking or locking completion signal to the controller 9.

At this time, since the release button 13 is not operated and the release code is not transmitted to the receiver 3, even if the unlock completion signal is output to the controller 9, the controller 9 opens and closes the door. The door is not opened by outputting an opening signal to the actuator 11.

On the other hand, the case where the operation button 5 is operated and the release button 13 is operated will be described. Based on the operation of the operation button 5 and the open button 13, the transmitter 2 reads the ID code and the open code from a memory (not shown). The transmitter 2 modulates these ID codes and outputs them to the receiver 3 as infrared rays. The receiving circuit 6 of the receiver 3 demodulates the transmitted ID code and open code and outputs them to the judging circuit 8.

The determination circuit 8 sends the ID code and ID transmitted.
It is determined whether or not the ID code stored in the code memory 7 matches. When the determination circuit 8 determines that the ID codes do not match each other, it determines that the transmitted ID codes are different and stops the processing. Then, it waits for the ID code to be transmitted again.

When the judging circuit 8 judges that the ID codes match each other, it judges whether or not the release code has been transmitted. In this case, since the release code has been transmitted, the determination circuit 8 outputs the determination result including the fact that the release code has been transmitted to the controller 9. Then, the controller 9 outputs a command signal to the unlocking actuator 10 to lock or unlock the door. The unlocking actuator 10 outputs an unlocking or locking completion signal to the controller 9 when the locking or unlocking of the door is completed.

When the unlocking completion signal is output to the controller 9, the controller 9 outputs the opening signal to the door opening / closing actuator 10 because the opening code is output. Therefore, the door opening / closing actuator 10 opens the door.

Therefore, the door opening / closing actuator 11 operates to open the door only when the opening button 13 is operated. As a result, the user can select the opening of the door and can open the door as needed.

In the second embodiment, all the doors are unlocked by operating the open button 13 after operating the operation button 5 of the transmitter 2. After that, all the doors are configured to be opened by the door opening / closing actuator 11.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the transmitter 2 may be provided with a button for designating which door of the vehicle is to be opened. That is, the transmitter 2 has an opening button 15a as a door opening button for designating all the doors to be fully opened.

Therefore, by operating any of the buttons 15a to 15e after operating the operation button 5, only the door corresponding to the operated button 15a to 15e can be opened. As a result, the user can specify and open the door that the user wants to open.

In addition to this, as shown in FIG. 4, the transmitter 2 is provided with a lock button 17 for locking the door and an unlock / trunk opener button 18 for unlocking the door and opening the trunk. Further, a trunk opener actuator 19 for opening the trunk is connected to the controller 9.

Therefore, if the lock button 17 is operated,
The ID code and the lock code are transmitted from the transmitter 2. The receiving circuit 6 of the receiver 3 receives the ID code and the lock code, and when the judging circuit 8 judges that the ID code matches the ID code stored in the ID code memory 7, the lock code is transmitted. The determination result including the fact that it has been performed is output to the controller 9. The controller 9 outputs a command signal to the unlocking actuator 10 based on the determination result including the fact that the lock code is transmitted. The unlocking actuator 10 locks the door, outputs a locking completion signal to the controller 9, and ends the process.

When the unlock / trunk opener button 18 is operated, the ID code and the unlock / opener code are transmitted from the transmitter 2. When the receiving circuit 6 of the receiver 3 receives the ID code and the unlock opener code, and the judging circuit 8 judges that the ID code matches the ID code stored in the ID code memory 7, The determination result including that the lock opener code has been transmitted is output to the controller 9.

The controller 9 outputs a command signal to the unlocking actuator 10 based on the determination result including the fact that the unlock / opener code is transmitted. And
The unlocking / locking actuator 10 unlocks the door and outputs an unlocking completion signal to the controller 9.

Then, the controller 9 outputs an opening signal to the door opening / closing actuator 11 and the trunk opener actuator 19. Therefore, the door opening / closing actuator 11 and the trunk opener actuator 19 open the door and the trunk.

As a result, after the baggage held in both hands is accommodated in the luggage compartment, the doors can be opened and the passengers can enter the luggage compartment, and the doors and the luggage compartment can be easily opened.

Although all the doors are opened by the door opening / closing actuator 11, the controller 9 causes the door opening / closing actuator 11 to start when the engine is started.
A closing signal is output to and the door is closed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the transmitter 2 has a lock button 17, a trunk opener button 21, an open button 15a for designating all doors to be fully opened, and a driver seat button 15b for opening only the driver's door. , A passenger side button 15c for opening only the passenger side door, a driver side rear button 15d for opening only the driver side rear door, and a passenger side rear button 15e for opening only the passenger side rear door
To provide.

When the lock button 17 is operated,
The receiver 3 outputs a command signal to the unlocking actuator 10 to lock the door. When the trunk opener button 21 is operated, the receiver 3 outputs a command signal to the trunk opener actuator 19 to open the trunk. Further, when each of the buttons 15a to 15e is operated, the receiver 3 unlocks and opens the door corresponding to the button 15a to 15e. Note that these operations are performed on the assumption that the ID codes match.

As a result, the user can open only the trunk by operating the trunk opener button 21 or select any door to open it by operating the buttons 15a to 15e.

Further, although the remote control device 1 in the above-described embodiment performs communication between the transmitter 2 and the receiver 3 by infrared rays, the remote control device 1 performs communication between the transmitter 2 and the receiver 3 by radio waves. It may be applied to a control device.

Next, technical ideas other than the claims as understood from the above-mentioned embodiment will be described below together with their effects.
