DOOR MIRROR ROTATION CONTROL DEVICE AND DOOR MIRROR ROTATION CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326693 titled 'DOOR MIRROR ROTATION CONTROL DEVICE AND DOOR MIRROR ROTATION CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a device that controls the rotation of a door mirror, allowing it to switch between folded and unfolded positions. The control part of the device includes a motor drive controller and a motor action determination part that detects raindrop information to determine the motor's drive content as either a normal action or a specific action.
- The device controls the drive of the motor to switch the door mirror between folded and unfolded positions.
- The motor action determination part detects raindrop information during motor operation to determine the drive content as normal or specific action.
- In the specific action, the motor rotates more frequently until the drive ends.
- The motor drive controller adjusts the motor's drive based on the determination made by the motor action determination part.
Potential Applications: 1. Automotive industry for vehicles with automated folding door mirrors. 2. Home automation for controlling the orientation of mirrors in smart homes. 3. Security systems for adjusting mirrors to monitor different areas.
Problems Solved: 1. Efficient control of door mirror rotation. 2. Automatic adjustment based on environmental conditions. 3. Enhanced functionality for users.
Benefits: 1. Improved convenience for users. 2. Enhanced safety features in vehicles. 3. Energy-efficient operation.
Commercial Applications: Smart Mirror Rotation Control System for Vehicles: Enhances driver visibility and safety by automatically adjusting door mirrors based on driving conditions.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or publications on automated mirror control systems in vehicles or smart home devices.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in motor control systems and smart mirror technologies for potential improvements in efficiency and functionality.
Questions about Mirror Rotation Control: 1. How does the device differentiate between normal and specific actions based on raindrop information? 2. What are the potential implications of increased motor rotation frequency during specific actions on the device's longevity and performance?
Original Abstract Submitted
a door mirror rotation control device includes a control part controlling drive of a motor to cause a door mirror to switch between a folded status and an unfolded status. the control part includes a motor drive controller controlling drive of the motor and a motor action determination part determining a drive content of the motor. the motor action determination part detects raindrop information during drive of the motor, and determines the drive content of the motor as a normal action or a specific action based on whether the raindrop information is acquired. compared to the normal action, a frequency of rotation changes of the motor during a period until drive of the motor ends is high in the specific action. the motor drive controller is configured to control drive of the motor in the normal action or the specific action determined by the motor action determination part.
