Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lid lock control device for controlling locking / unlocking of a lid of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] As is well known, the body of a vehicle (for example, a gasoline-powered vehicle) is provided with a cap (fuel cap) for opening and closing a fuel filler opening. A cover locking device is provided on such a cover, which prevents unauthorized opening of the cover. Usually, the lid lock device includes a lid lock pin (lid lock bin) that can be locked on the lid. Once the cover locking pin is locked on the cover, the cover is locked, and once the cover locking pin leaves the cover, the cover will not be unlocked. [0003] Conventionally, in the hood lock device, when the door is unlocked and the ID verification by the electronic key is established, when the hood switch (or hood unlock lever) is operated, the hood lock device performs unlocking control ( Refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-280586, as long as the doors are locked, even if the ID verification of the electronic key is performed by operating the lid switch, the lid lock cannot be unlocked.

In this case, since the doors need to be unlocked intentionally, there is a problem that door unlocking work is cumbersome.

[0006] On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-133529, since the user must move into the detection area of ​​the foot sensor in order to unlock the cover, it is sometimes inconvenient.

That is to say, since the operating range of the foot sensor is limited to the vicinity of the vehicle, there is a problem that the user's convenience is low.

In addition, when the user is working near the vehicle, the lid may be unlocked against the user's intention.
