[0028] Example 2:
[0029] As Figure 7 shown, when the electric door stopper is used in an electric door control system, the electric door stopper is installed in a vehicle door as a driving device through the fixed support 4, the mounting bracket 5 on the screw rod 3 penetrates out of the vehicle door and is mounted on the vehicle body, and an anti-pinch device, an obstacle detection device, a main control unit and a door lock device are provided in the control system, so that the following functions can be realized:
[0030] 1、In this system, the car can automatically open the door by identifying the driver in a specific way (such as scanning the code, gestures, fingerprints, keyless control, mobile phone, etc.). If the vehicle user fails to properly close the door after getting off, the vehicle will automatically close the door through the electric door limiter after parking or before the next trip.
[0031] 2、According to different vehicle models, brake 22 (damper) is selected and equipped, that is, when the vehicle with lighter doors is used, the doors can be suspended by short-circuiting the drive motor 2 through its internal resistance under the control of the ECU, and when the doors are heavier, brake 22 can be equipped. For example, on a slope, when the door is stationary, the brake 22 is in a locked state, generating friction to prevent the drive motor from rotating; when the door needs to be opened (manual door opening, electric door opening), the brake 22 is powered on to cancel the friction, and the drive motor 2 drives the control screw 3 to rotate and open the door. When the door is in an open state, the brake does not work, generating friction, that is, the weight of the door is less than the main force distance (tilt and wind force), meeting the suspension requirements of the door. When the door needs to be closed, only the vehicle power supply needs to be controlled through the electric key, and the brake cannot work to control the screw 3 to close the door. At the same time, it can also be closed manually, that is, the manual door opening force is greater than the resistance distance, which can activate the brake 22 to power on, cancel the friction, and automatically start the drive motor 2 to close the door, realizing the door limit suspension.
[0032] 3、By setting the anti-pinch device and obstacle detection device, the door can detect the environment around the door in real time during closing or opening to avoid collision when the door is opened or hand pinch when the door is closed.
