Abstract

Abstract A control device (1) for a movable member includes a dc motor (11) for establishing position transfer of the movable member in such a manner that after a first position of the movable member is stored in a memory, even if the movable member is at a second position, the moving member is returned to the first position only upon manipulating a switch (8); and a motor pulse generating circuit (3) generating a cut-off frequency which is variable depending on a ripple pulse frequency which is indicative of a rotational number of the motor. <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 90 words
A control device for a movable member comprising; a dc motor for establishing position transfer of the movable member in such a manner that after a first position of the movable member is stored in a memory, even if the movable member is at a second position, the moving member is returned to the first position only upon manipulating a switch; and a motor pulse generating circuit generating a cut-off frequency which is variable depending on a ripple pulse frequency which is indicative of a rotational number of the motor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 97 words
A control device as set forth in Claim 1, wherein the motor pulse generating circuit includes a switched capacitance filter for eliminating noise from the motor, a cut-off frequency of the switched capacitance filter being depended on a clock input thereof, a pulse shaping circuit for generating a ripple pulse signal indicative of the rotational number of the motor by wave-shaping an output of the switched capacitance filter, and a pulse generating circuit providing pulses to the clock input of the switched capacitance filter, the pulses controlling the cut-off frequency on the basis the ripple pulse frequency.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 159 words
A control device for a movable member comprising; a dc motor for establishing position transfer of the movable member in such a manner that after a first position of the movable member is stored in a memory, even if the movable member is at a second position , the moving member is returned to the first position only upon manipulating a switch; a pulse generating circuit generating a signal which is in synchronization with a movement of the movable member; position determining means for calculating a distance between the first position and the second position of the movable member; detection means for detecting an instant when the motor is turned off; correction means for storing a correction number which is indicative of an additional movement of the movable member due to inertia of the motor after its turning-off; and calculating means for calculating an absolute position of the movable member by adding the corection number to the second position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
A control device as set forth in Claim 3, wherein the pulse generating circuit is connected to a downstream side terminal of switching means for establishing bi-directional operations of the motors while a power source voltage is being fed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
A control device as set forth in Claim 3, wherein the first position is stored when the motor is turned on.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
A control device as set forth in Claim 3, wherein the correction number is set based on rotational conditions of the motor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
A control device as set forth in Claim 3, wherein the correction number is set based on the power source voltage applied to the motor.
