Description
Background technology
Vehicle has become the private and primary demand of commercial use.Being significantly greatly increased of vehicle fleet size causes the problem relevant to the safety of the additional feature that environmental conservation, fuel economy and the possible the most uncompromising vehicle performance attracting consumer or prospective buyer are also not intended to novelty.It is developed for the various technology and equipments of efficient fuel consumption to provide more efficient vehicle.Despite such development, but inappropriate process may still result in the fallback of vehicle.The fallback of vehicle may cause the increase of fuel consumption, and therefore may cause uncontrolled and unaccounted pollution.Such as, so that inappropriate fuel utilization may be caused higher than the rotating speed of optimal engine rotating speed (being weighed by rotating speed per minute or RPM) driving vehicle.May unnecessarily make the electromotor of vehicle be under pressure additionally, operate such vehicle with relatively low RPM, this may affect its operation and durability in the long run.
As is well understood, when the transmission gear of vehicle is in inappropriate time point upshift or downshift, generally may occur that.Such as, when RPM is slightly above or below the optimum range of RPM, the operator of vehicle generally may gearshift.Estimation about the time point when shifted gears generally is obtained by experience.Therefore, the operator of long period of operation vehicle likely shifts gears at reasonable time point compared to the operator lacking such experience.The less operator of experience may tend to shift gears in out of season mode.This may undesirably result in increasing and also causing the unnecessary pressure on vehicle motor of fuel consumption.
It should also be noted that, estimate that the time point when shifted gears is carried out generally according to subjectivity.The estimation of such time point is likely to different by different operators.Being also likely to be this situation: during operating process, operator may be unaware that suitable gear.Additionally, the operator in other respects with considerable experience is likely to the problem that the suitable timing experiencing to operate new vehicle about when shifting gears, when starting is relevant.
The multiple systems indicating current or effective gear is developed.Except instruction gear, it is also possible to transmit out of Memory, such as engine speed (that is, RPM value), engine temperature, mileage and the fuel consumption of estimation.Such instruction about different parameters can be arranged on the dash panel.The example of such system is provided in the application (' 362 application) that U.S. Patent Publication No. is 2013/0225362A1.' 362 application provides the expression of combination instrument by Fig. 8.The combination instrument of ' 362 application provides speedometer, tachoscope, fuel quantity ga(u)ge, thermometer, mileometer and one group of display lamp.Display lamp is for operator of the motor vehicle or drives offer prompting, to initiate gear shift operation in good time.By this way, gear can change at reasonable time point.Such problem puzzlement may may fail to remember the most experienced driver of effective gear inadvertently.In the case of such situation possibly be present at driver fatigue.Additionally, in the case of motor vehicles are adjusted to higher performance, driver may not have about when from the suitable idea of gear upshift.As a result of which it is, motor vehicles can suffer from engine stall.In some cases, it is likely to affect the function of variator.
Although such as those mechanisms described in the application of ' 362 provide about the instruction when shifted gears, but it may not indicate gear.Additionally, gear can not be associated in the way of understanding and be simple and clear by such mechanism with engine speed.In this case, if RPM value is determined, then the operator of vehicle may have to independent reference rotation velocity table.During operating process, such reference of tachoscope must be quick.In this case, whether the RPM of the possibly electromotor that cannot determine vehicle of operator is in optimum range.When with reference to tachoscope, the operator of vehicle may not notice that gearshift indicator, and thus may be in correct time point gearshift.With reference to for determine different parameters different indicators may the attention of unnecessarily scatter operation person, thus increase the probability having an accident.
Summary of the invention
Thering is provided present invention is to introduce the concept relevant to the integrated display system for providing the instruction for changing current shift and engine speed value during vehicle operating process.It is described further in a specific embodiment below this concept.Present invention is not intended as identifying the scope that the essential feature of theme required for protection is intended to be used to determine or limit theme required for protection.
In one embodiment, control module can obtain instruction or the value of the effective gear corresponding to vehicle, and describes the value (describing with RPM) of engine speed.Once it is determined that effective gear and RPM value, activate to the control module property of may be selected by one group of display element to represent the character corresponding to effective gear.Additionally, for describing the display element that is selectively activated of effective gear, control module can control the display element that display element makes at least one be selectively activated further and illuminate by the color relevant to the value of RPM.

Detailed description of the invention
As it was previously stated, when operating vehicle, be favorably improved fuel efficiency, preferable vehicle performance and the durability of vehicle in the gearshift of reasonable time point.At unsuitable time point i.e., the time the lowest or the highest when engine speed, the different system of vehicle may be caused excessive pressure by gearshift.The example of such system includes, but not limited to transmission system and the electromotor of vehicle.
Additionally, correctly estimate that the time point when shifted gears completes on the basis of specific, or it is subjective at most according to standard such as operator's experience.The custom when shifted gears is likely to different for different operators.Gear possibly cannot correctly be associated by the conventional system providing gearshift instruction with engine speed (being indicated by RPM value).Such system can not provide gear, the instruction of gearshift or RPM value in the view of single merging.It is observed that in the case of there is not such system, can may be affected in the way of operation vehicle, and the most also cause the problem relevant to safety.
To this end, describe the integrated display system of a kind of instruction for providing for changing current shift and engine speed value.According to the embodiment of this theme, integrated display system comprises display floater and control module.Control module is the operation for controlling the display floater for providing the instruction changing current shift and engine speed value.Display floater is made up of the matrix of display element.Each display element of display floater is independently operable.In one embodiment, display floater may be implemented as based on light emitting diode (LED) or the display screen of liquid crystal display (LCD).In current embodiment, Panel Logic can be divided into multiple region, the most each region is display element.In another embodiment, display floater may be implemented as the matrix of LED, and the most each LED is display element.
In operation, control module can obtain instruction or the value of the effective gear corresponding to vehicle, and describes the value (describing with RPM) of engine speed.Once it is determined that effective gear and RPM value, activate to the control module property of may be selected by one group of display element to represent the character corresponding to effective gear.Character can be the numerical character according to effective gear or alphanumeric character.Additionally, for describing the display element that is selectively activated of effective gear, control module can control the display element that display element makes at least one be selectively activated further and illuminate by the color relevant to the value of RPM.Such as, if RPM value predefined be considered as optimal such scope in, then control module can use green illumination display element.Along with RPM value changes from optimum range, control module can use yellow illuminant display element further.In the case of RPM exceedes predefined margin, control unit can use red illumination display element.
In one embodiment, color can be different based on different driving models from the relatedness of RPM value.The example of driving model includes general mode, motor pattern, economic model and landform driving model.Normal mode can correspond to riving condition universal during city driving.In this case, RPM value and can be based on the RPM value that will occur when driving under the conditions of in normal or city from the relatedness of different color instructions.
In the case of motor pattern, vehicle drive may frequently involve and depend on higher RPM value.In such pattern, when just operating vehicle in motor pattern, high RPM value is typically considered for city driving conditions and is considered normally.Therefore, when just operating vehicle in motor pattern, for higher RPM value, display element can only use green to activate (thereby indicating that the normal RPM condition for motor pattern).In a similar fashion, different pattern and be considered as that the relatedness between optimal such different RPM value can be implemented in any vehicle.Therefore, gearshift instruction also will be delayed by according to the type of selected pattern or promotes.Such as, when relative to when the gearshift instruction generated being considered when just operating vehicle in normal mode or economic model, the gearshift for motor pattern indicates and is likely to later (that is, occurring in higher RPM value).
In another embodiment, according to the value of RPM, it is also possible to activate selected a few row's display elements to provide the prompting for changing effective gear according to RPM value.Such as, if vehicle is in first gear while that RPM value being the highest, then display element can be that the operator of vehicle provides upshift to the instruction of higher gear.In an identical manner, if driving vehicle (that is, RPM value is the lowest) higher than the gear of optimal gear, then display element can provide the user the instruction that downshift makes vehicle operate in optimal performance scope to relatively low gear.
Allow to form numerical character, effective or current shift to be sent to operator by the one or more display elements of activation at this integrated system provided.Additionally, one or more display elements can illuminate by specific color further according to the value of engine speed.Based on current shift and the value of engine speed, one or more display element can be controlled further to provide the prompting instruction that operator is shifted gears by upshift or downshift.
Above example can be one or more based on processing or implementing in the equipment of other logic.Such equipment can be integrated in vehicle or may be implemented as autonomous device.Such autonomous device can be used for vehicle controlling and operating integrated display system subsequently alternately.

The working method of integrated display system 102 combines Fig. 3 A and 3B and illustrates.Fig. 3 A depicts the exemplary display floater 108 of the embodiment according to this theme.As shown in Figure 3A, display floater 108 is made up of multiple display elements 302.Each display element 302 can be with control module 110 separate communications, thus it is individually controllable for allowing each display element 302.In the example shown, display floater 108 is made up of 3 × 7 matrixes of display element 302.In order to describe character, the combination of multiple display elements on display floater 108 can be activated.In current example, display floater 108 represents the neutral gear position described by numerical character " 0 ".In order to describe character " 0 ", the display element 302 of the profile describing display floater 108 can be activated.The controlled module of activation 110 of any one or more display elements 302 affects.In order to activate display element 302, activation signal can be provided suitable display element 302 by control module 110.By this way, it is also possible to activate other display elements 302 to represent other numerical characters for corresponding gear.
Which in one embodiment, can provide mapping in 218 about the information activating display element 302 in order to describe required character.Such as, each display element 302 can be identified by unique identifier (ID).Map 218 and can map required character (character on display floater 108 to be displayed) and unique ID, the display element 302 being activated when indicating the character needed for describing.
In operation, integrated display system 102 can receive vehicle parameter data from sensor 104.Such as, integrated display system 102 can receive instruction current shift and the value of engine speed value from sensor 104.Upon receipt of gear and the value of engine speed, control module 110 is just respectively stored in RPM data 214 and gear data 216.Once it is determined that the value of current shift, control module 110 just analyzes mapping 218.When analyzed, value based on the gear provided in the map, control module 110 determines corresponding unique ID of the display element 302 provided in mapping 218.Therefore, control module 110 may determine which display element 302 of display floater 108 will be activated.
Subsequently, control module 110 can activate one or more display element 302 to describe the character corresponding to gear.In order to activate, control module 110 can send one or more lower circuit system (not shown) controlling signal to display floater 108.Based on control signal, required display element 302 can be activated.
In another embodiment, display floater 108 can be further provided with the indicating graduation 304 of neighbouring display floater 108.In one embodiment, indicating graduation 304 can be provided by printing labelling, or can be provided by the additional column of display element.Indicating graduation 304 provides the measurement markers of the centrifugal pump for engine speed.In current embodiment, measurement markers provides the scope of the RPM value originating in 750-5250 in an upward direction.It should be pointed out that, the present scope of RPM value simply means to the property shown, and should not be construed as limited to.For different vehicles, RPM value scope can be different.Such as, for the vehicle run by Diesel engine, RPM value will be in shorter scope, such as 750-4250.
Each measurement markers on indicating graduation 304 corresponds at least one row's display element 302.In other words, the scope of RPM value corresponds at least one row's display element 302.In one embodiment, corresponding to measured RPM data 214, control module 110 may determine that row's display element of the measurement markers on display floater 108 corresponding to indicating graduation 304.Once it is determined that this row's display element 302, control to control module 110 property of may be selected by the illuminating color of the display element 302 being activated below this row's display element 302 determined by being in.In this case, a part for display floater 108 will be displayed as illuminated to certain level (that is, until this row's display element 302 of the measurement markers corresponding to the RPM value measured by closest match).When being watched by the operator of vehicle, the illuminated part of display floater 108 on indicating graduation 304 side will provide the estimation of RPM value.
Continuing this example, in another embodiment, control module 110 can also control the illuminating color of display element 302 according to measured RPM data 214.Such as, for the high RPM value of given gear, the display element 302 being activated can illuminate by redness, and instruction vehicle motor just operates in worthless RPM range.Similarly, for the optimal RPM value of given gear, control module 110 can use green illumination display element 302, operation in the RPM range that instruction vehicle motor is the most optimal or desirable.Although this specification is described as only using limited color, but other colors can also be used without departing from the scope of the present invention to indicate other kinds of operating condition.
In one embodiment, color can be different based on different driving models from the relatedness of RPM value, and it can be stored in RPM data 214.The example of driving model includes general mode, motor pattern, economic model and landform driving model.Normal mode can correspond to riving condition universal during city driving.In this case, RPM value and can be based on the RPM value that will occur when driving under the conditions of in normal or city from the relatedness of different color instructions.
In the case of motor pattern, vehicle drive may frequently involve and depend on higher RPM value.In such pattern, high RPM value is typically considered for city driving conditions, is considered when just operating vehicle in motor pattern normal.Therefore, when just operating vehicle in motor pattern, for higher RPM value, display element can only use green to activate (thereby indicating that the normal RPM condition for motor pattern).Therefore, gearshift instruction also will be delayed by according to the type of selected pattern or promotes.
In another embodiment, display element 302 can also provide the instruction that prompting operator is correlated with from the gear that current or effective gear is shifted gears.It should be pointed out that, during operation, when the RPM value of electromotor exceeds or is less than the optimal RPM range of vehicle motor, gearshift may generally be needed.In current situations, during optimum range can be stored in other data 220.RPM data 214 can be compared by control module 110 with optimum range.Once it is determined that RPM value exceedes optimum range, control module 110 just can further provide for, by one or more display elements 302, the instruction that the gear of prompting operator's upshift is correlated with.The instruction that exemplary gear is relevant is described by arrow upwards in figure 3 a, as instruction 306 provides.In a similar fashion, if control module 110 determines that RPM value will be greater than optimum range, then control module 110 can provide the instruction from current shift downshift by display element 302.In one embodiment, the instruction of downshift can be described by the arrow that shape is downward.
As indicated, this theme provides the estimation of the RPM value of current shift, electromotor and whether from current shift upshift or the integrated view of the instruction of downshift.Therefore, operator is in the position quickly checking RPM value and current shift.If needing gearshift, it is also learned from the display floater 108 of integrated display system 102.
