ABSTRACT:
A seat belt winding apparatus with a rotation detection unit, for detecting a rotation of a belt winder shaft, and a driving unit, controlled by a detection signal from the rotation detection unit so as to apply a winding force to the belt winder shaft.
When the seat belt is pulled by a passenger and a buckle is coupled with a tongue, the driving unit is controlled so that a rotational position of the belt winder shaft in a winding termination state is stored in a storage unit as a reference rotational position, thus establishing a correspondence between a reference rotational position and a count in the storage unit.
In the belt fastened state, when the rotational position of the belt winder shaft is shifted from the reference rotational position, the shifted rotational position of the belt winder shaft is compared with the reference rotational position. The belt winder shaft is driven by the driving unit in accordance with the comparison result so as to return the belt winder shaft to the reference rotational position in the belt fastening state. Meanwhile, when the rotational position of the belt winder shaft is shifted from the reference rotational position by the pull-out operation of the seat belt in the condition that the seat belt is not worn by the passenger and the tongue and buckle are not coupled, the winder shaft is driven only in a winding direction so as to return to a reference rotational position in the retracted state.
