Claims17
A roof device for a vehicle, the roof device comprising:
- a plurality of plate members;
- and
- a frame coupled to a vehicle body and configured to support the plurality of plate member,
- wherein at least a portion of the frame is configured to rotate around its edge, and at least one of the plurality of plate members is configured to slide along an inner edge of the frame.
A control method of a roof device for a vehicle including a control unit for controlling a first motor configured to supply power to a power transmission mechanism such that at least one of a plurality of plate members slides on supporting members, and control a second motor configured to supply its power to at least one of the supporting members to rotate the at least one of the supporting members around its edge, the control method comprising:
- receiving, by the control unit, a speed of the vehicle from a wheel speed sensor;
- determining, by the control unit, whether the vehicle is driving;
- and
- controlling, by the control unit, a rotation amount of each of the first motor and the second motor, so that a change in the rotation amount of the first motor with respect to a change in the speed of the vehicle, and a change in the rotation amount of the second motor with respect to a change in the speed of the vehicle have a value less than or equal to 0, when it is determined that the vehicle is driving.
