Device for motorically and manually adjusting a vehicle part

Abstract

A device for motorically and manually adjusting a second vehicle part relative to a first vehicle part in an adjustment range is provided. The device comprising at least a driving device by means of which the second vehicle part is motorically adjustable in at least one adjustment direction and can be held in an adjustment position within the adjustment range relative to the first vehicle part, wherein the driving device is switchable between a holding position and a release position and in the holding position the second vehicle part is held in an adjustment position via the driving device and in the release position is manually adjustable within the adjustment range, and an electronic control device by means of which the driving device is switchable between the holding position and the release position in response to an operating event triggered by a user in order to permit a manual adjustment of the second vehicle part by the user relative to the first vehicle part. The electronic control device is configured to, in response to an operating event triggered by a user, initially actuate the driving device for a power-operated adjustment out of the adjustment position in that adjustment direction in which the manual adjustment is to be made before switching into the release position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for forcefully and manually adjusting a second vehicle component relative to a first vehicle component in an adjusting region and a method for forcefully and manually adjusting a second vehicle component. Background technique [0002] A device of this type has at least one drive, by means of which the second vehicle part can be adjusted externally in at least one adjustment direction and can be held in an adjustment position within an adjustment range relative to the first vehicle part. Thus, the second vehicle component is mounted adjustably relative to the first vehicle component and, if appropriate, even on the vehicle component itself, wherein an adjustment of the electric motor drive of the second vehicle component can take place, for example, via a drive. Furthermore, the second vehicle component is held in the assumed adjustment position within the defined adjustment range via the drive device. For example, the...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the degree of freedom of the door, which usually pops up here, is considered to be less pleasing to the user.

Furthermore, a sudden changeover to the release state during the service life of the device poses particular problems, since here, in particular as a function of temperature, adjustment noises and / or a blocking effect of the drive in the hold state and the door in the holding state can occur. The difference between the degrees of freedom in which the drive is in the released state is relatively large, and switching occurs at seemingly unpredictable points in time for the user
