In order to realize the detection to tire pressure, correlation technique can arrange pressure transducer at the valve inside of each tire, baroceptor can also be set in inside tires, then wireless communication technique is used to send the force value of each tire/atmospheric pressure value to central processing unit, compared according to the tire pressure standard value preset by central processing unit, thus judge that tire pressure is the most normal.
But this mode, not only pressure transducer/baroceptor is set on each tire, there is provision of wireless communication module, also need to arrange power module to solve powerup issue, hardware cost is the highest, and installation cost and maintenance cost are the highest.
In order to avoid the problem that cost is high, disclosure one tire pressure detection method, by calculating each tire wheel speed aggregate-value in preset time period, and wheel speed aggregate-value is carried out the calibration wheel speed value of the calibration each tire of acquisition, maximum is calibrated the wheel speed value difference with minimum calibration wheel speed value with the alarm threshold value contrast preset, the tire pressure state of described vehicle is judged according to comparing result, thus utilize wheel speed to realize the detection to wheel load, avoid on vehicle tyre, arrange pressure transducer/baroceptor, wireless module, the hardware cost that power supply etc. bring, cost of installation and maintenance.
As it is shown in figure 1, Fig. 1 is the application flow chart according to a kind of tire pressure detection method shown in an exemplary embodiment, comprise the following steps 101 to step 105:
In a step 101, the wheel speed of each tire in vehicle operation is obtained.
In the embodiment of the present application, wheel speed be the speed of tire, such as wheel speed can be the linear velocity etc. of tire.As an example, due to onboard diagnostic system (On-BoardDiagnostic, OBD) data such as engine speed, speed, steering wheel angle, tire wheel speed are included, therefore wheel speed can directly be obtained from OBD, in addition, can also adopt the wheel speed obtaining tire in other ways, this is no longer going to repeat them.
Visible, the present embodiment directly obtains wheel speed from OBD, it is to avoid arrange hardware cost, cost of installation and maintenance that pressure transducer/baroceptor, wireless module, power supply etc. bring on vehicle tyre.
In a step 102, according to the acquired each tire of wheel speed calculation wheel speed aggregate-value in preset time period.
After obtaining wheel speed, each tire wheel speed aggregate-value in preset time period in this vehicle can be calculated.Preset time period is the time for adding up wheel speed set in advance, and the purpose of accumulative wheel speed is the error-detecting brought in order to avoid instantaneous wheel speed.
In an optional implementation, preset time period can be the time that in vehicle operation, wheel speed meets normal distribution.Visible, the wheel speed meeting normal distribution is added up, and accumulative wheel speed aggregate-value is compared and judges, the instantaneous error brought because of turn inside diameter, vibrations, wheel-slip etc. in can avoiding instantaneous wheel speed relatively, the most also detection will be caused to postpone due to the overlong time that preset time period is arranged, thus avoid postponing the loss that detection brings.
Such as, in the common scene set, the span of preset time period can be 4.5 minutes to 5.5 minutes, when particularly preset time period is 5 minutes, both can avoid instantaneous error, and can avoid again postponing the loss that detection brings.Wherein, the common scene of setting can be the shallower roads such as highway, gets rid of the scene of each wheel wheel speed in snowfield, winding road etc. have a strong impact on vehicle.
It addition, for different scenes, it is also possible to different preset time period is set according to the difference of scene.Such as, the Preset Time segment length that winding road is corresponding preset time period is more corresponding than mild highway.
Further, the erroneous judgement caused in order to avoid situations such as turning, traversing, tyre slips, particularly avoid road surface excessively uneven or erroneous judgement that the situation such as too much of turning causes, in non-common scene, can the value of preset time period be arranged is bigger, allows error cancel out each other, thus avoids wrong report.Such as, in different application scenarios, the duration of preset time period can be determined by the accounting of invalid mileage.Wherein, invalid mileage refers to mileage when vehicle does not has linear uniform motion or approximates linear uniform motion.As, invalid mileage accounts for 50%, then the preset time period under this scene at least doubles than the preset time period under linear uniform motion or approximation linear uniform motion.
In step 103, the calibration wheel speed value of each tire is determined according to the wheel speed aggregate-value of each tire and the wheel speed calibration factor of this tire.
Described wheel speed calibration factor is the calibration factor that the wheel speed by each tire met under calibration condition prestored is calibrated to unified wheel speed.When determining calibration factor, it can be determined that whether the tire pressure of vehicle meets calibration condition, in the case of meeting calibration condition, just carry out calibration obtain calibration factor.Calibration condition can be that tire pressure is normal, i.e. wheel speed calibration factor is the calibration factor that the wheel speed of subnormal for tire pressure each tire is calibrated to unified wheel speed.Such as can check the tire pressure of each tire, judge that according to the tire pressure detected the tire pressure of this tire is the most normal.And for example, the acquiescence normal scene of tire pressure can be preset, when default scene occurs, then judge that tire pressure is normal.The scene preset can be the scenes such as the tire that just tire to vehicle charges gas, just more new vehicle.After judging that tire pressure is normal, calibration factor can be determined according to the data in vehicle travel process.
Wheel speed calibration factor for the wheel speed aggregate-value according to each tire Yu this tire determines the calibration wheel speed value of each tire, can be different according to the difference of wheel speed calibration factor.Such as, when the ratio that wheel speed calibration factor is standard value and wheel speed, the wheel speed aggregate-value of each tire is multiplied with the wheel speed calibration factor of this tire, it is thus achieved that the calibration wheel speed value of each tire.When the ratio that wheel speed calibration factor is wheel speed and standard value, the wheel speed calibration factor of the wheel speed aggregate-value of each tire with this tire is divided by, it is thus achieved that the calibration wheel speed value of each tire.
At step 104, maximum is calibrated the wheel speed value difference with minimum calibration wheel speed value with the alarm threshold value contrast preset.
In this step, can first seek the difference of maximum calibration wheel speed value and minimum calibration wheel speed value, then difference is contrasted with the alarm threshold value preset.Visible, calibration wheel speed value in preset time period is compared, because the instantaneous error brought of the instantaneous velocity such as turn inside diameter, vibrations, wheel-slip in being possible not only to avoid instantaneous wheel speed relatively, it is also possible to avoid because the defect inconsistent in the case of air pressure is identical of the diameter of tyres that tire newness degree is different, the degree of wear causes on an equal basis;Meanwhile, maximum is calibrated wheel speed value with the difference of minimum calibration wheel speed value with default alarm threshold value contrast, can avoid specifying the wheel speed of two tires to compare the erroneous judgement caused, improve Detection accuracy.
Alarm threshold value is the threshold value of the tire pressure state for judging vehicle set in advance.In one implementation, road conditions and the wheel speed of vehicle when alarm threshold value can travel according to type of vehicle, vehicle determine, will travel with different wheel speeds under different road conditions by different types of vehicle, through testing many times, in the case of tire pressure condition adjudgement is correct, obtain alarm threshold value.It is 5 minutes with preset time period below, as a example by car type is passenger car, enumerates the most several groups of data and illustrate, it is to be understood that be not limited to following data in testing:
Visible, the span of alarm threshold value can be 8.5km/h to 11.5km/h, particularly during 10km/h, can reduce rate of false alarm.
In step 105, the tire pressure state of described vehicle is judged according to comparing result.
In this step, the tire pressure state of vehicle can be judged according to comparing result.In an optional implementation, when described maximum calibration wheel speed value calibrates the difference of wheel speed value less than alarm threshold value with described minimum, it is possible to determine that the tire pressure of vehicle is in normal condition.When described maximum calibration wheel speed value calibrates the difference of wheel speed value more than or equal to described alarm threshold value with described minimum, it is possible to determine that the tire pressure of described vehicle is in abnormality.
Further, it is also possible to the tire pressure state of described vehicle is reminded.Such as, when the tire pressure of vehicle is in normal condition, can not remind, it is also possible to remind tire pressure normal.When detecting that tire pressure is in abnormality, can carry out warning reminding, user can detect according to each tire to vehicle of reporting to the police.
In an optional implementation, owing to generally tire does not haves overvoltage condition, minimum then can be calibrated tire corresponding to wheel speed value and be judged to that there is normal tire pressure, when the difference of maximum calibration wheel speed value with minimum calibration wheel speed value is more than or equal to the alarm threshold value preset, it is determined that the tire that maximum calibration wheel speed value is corresponding is in under-voltage condition.
Visible, the tire being in under-voltage condition can be detected by the way, it is to avoid manually progressively detect the troublesome operation caused.
In order to remind user to detect and repairing tyre in time when tyre underpressure, it is to avoid the infringement that tyre underpressure causes, when the tire judging that maximum calibration wheel speed value is corresponding is in under-voltage condition, the tire being in under-voltage condition is carried out warning reminding.
Wherein, the mode of warning can be a variety of, such as the prompting of display alarm, flashing lamp or sound prompting etc..Display alarm can be on a display screen the tire being in under-voltage condition to be carried out display alarm prompting.It can be to utilize different lamp to flash different colors to remind that flashing lamp is reminded, and four tires, first lamp represent that the front-wheel on the left side is under-voltage when dodging red such as to utilize four lamps to represent, second lamp represents when dodging red that the front-wheel on the right is under-voltage etc..Sound prompting can be voice reminder, such as, utilize voice that the under-voltage condition of different kinds of tyre is carried out voice broadcast.Sound prompting can also is that the tinkle of bells is reminded, such as, utilize different the tinkle of bells that the state of different kinds of tyre is carried out warning reminding etc..
It is understood that a kind of alerting pattern can be used during warning reminding, it is also possible to combine multiple alerting pattern.Such as, display screen shows under-voltage tire, and coordinates the tinkle of bells of warning, then can increase the variation of prompting, reminds the timely inspection and maintenance of user.
Further, can select that minimum is calibrated tire corresponding to wheel speed value according to different scene and be judged to that there is normal tire pressure, or maximum is calibrated tire corresponding to wheel speed value be judged to that there is normal tire pressure.Such as, when judging current scene as default special screne, maximum is calibrated tire corresponding to wheel speed value and is judged to that there is normal tire pressure.The most just charge the vehicle of nausea when being currently running, in order to avoid because inflation too much causes tyre overpressure, then maximum being calibrated tire corresponding to wheel speed value and be judged to that there is normal tire pressure.
Based on this, can be in implementation at another, when the difference of maximum calibration wheel speed value and minimum calibration wheel speed value is more than or equal to alarm threshold value, it is determined that the tire that minimum calibration wheel speed value is corresponding is in overvoltage condition.Further, when the tire judging that minimum calibration wheel speed value is corresponding is in overvoltage condition, the tire being in overvoltage condition is carried out warning reminding.
Visible, the tire being in overvoltage condition can be detected by the way, it is to avoid manually progressively detect the troublesome operation caused.
