Detailed Description
In order to make the embodiments, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a main flow chart of an automobile tire performance prompting method of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the method for prompting the performance of the automobile tire of the present invention includes: s110, detecting the ambient temperature of the current location of the automobile; and S120, prompting the tire performance information of the automobile according to the ambient temperature. Wherein a mapping relationship is pre-established between tire performance and ambient temperature. Therefore, the method can prompt the tire performance of the automobile to the user according to the environmental temperature, so that the user can know the tire performance more intuitively, the tire is maintained in time, and the safety of the user in driving the automobile is improved.
The tire performance may be the grip of the tire, and as an example, the mapping between the grip and the ambient temperature of the tire may be determined as follows: the grip of the tires at different temperatures was first tested and then compared to the standard grip of the tires, and the remaining percentage of the grip of the tires at different temperatures was recorded. Wherein the tire grip capacity is qualified tire grip capacity, and the tire standard grip capacity is defined as 100%. "test-qualified tire grip capability" herein may be understood as the grip capability of a tire that passes quality testing at the time of shipment; it is also understood that the grip of the tire when it is used in its intended environment of use. Specifically, when the ambient temperature of the vehicle is suitable for the current tire, the tire grip capacity is kept in an optimal state, that is, the tire grip capacity at this time is the tire standard grip capacity, the grip capacity of the tire at this state is defined as 100%, and the braking distance and the handling performance data of the tire at this time are also standard data. That is, when the tire grip is in the optimum state, the braking distance and the steering performance of the tire are also in the optimum state. The braking distance and the control performance of the tire are tested at different temperatures to obtain multiple groups of data, and each group of data is compared with the standard data to obtain the remaining percentage of the gripping ability of the tire at different temperatures. For example, if the tire grip capacity is 50% of the standard grip capacity at a temperature of 1 ℃, it means that 50% of the tire grip capacity remains at a temperature of 1 ℃, and then the environment of 1 ℃ and the remaining 50% of the tire grip capacity are mapped, and thus, when the detected environment temperature is 1 ℃, the user is directly prompted that 50% of the tire grip capacity remains.
As another example, the mapping between the grip capacity of the tire and the ambient temperature may be determined as follows: the optimum use temperature range of the tire is first judged from the characteristics of the tire, and the grip ability of the tire in the optimum use temperature range is defined as the tire standard grip ability and as 100%. By "tyre characteristics" it is herein understood the type of tyre, for example summer, winter, etc., for which the optimum temperature ranges differ for different types of tyre. In other words, the type of tire may be determined based on the characteristics of the tire, i.e., whether the tire is a summer tire suitable for use in an environment where the temperature in summer is high or a winter tire suitable for use in an environment where the temperature is low, or other types of tires. Outside the optimal service temperature range, the grip capacity of the tire is tested at preset temperature intervals and compared with the standard grip capacity of the tire, and the remaining percentage of the grip capacity of the tire at the corresponding temperature is recorded. For example, for a tire in summer, when the temperature is lower than 7 ℃ (which is only an exemplary illustration and is not limited to a specific temperature), the grip capability of the tire starts to decrease, so that the environment temperature above 7 ℃ can be taken as the optimal use temperature range of the tire, the grip capability of the tire when the tire is used in the environment temperature above 7 ℃ is defined as 100%, and the braking distance and the handling performance data of the tire are standard data, that is, when the tire grip capability is in the optimal state, the braking distance and the handling performance of the tire are also in the optimal state. When the ambient temperature is lower than 7 ℃, the braking distance and the handling performance of the tire are tested at preset temperature intervals (such as 2 ℃, 3 ℃, 5 ℃ or other suitable temperatures), the obtained data are compared with standard data, and the remaining percentage of the tire gripping capacity at the corresponding temperature is recorded. For example, if the tire grip capacity is 50% of the standard grip capacity at a temperature of 1 ℃, it means that 50% of the tire grip capacity remains at a temperature of 1 ℃, and then the environment of 1 ℃ and the remaining 50% of the tire grip capacity are mapped, and thus, when the detected environment temperature is 1 ℃, the user is directly prompted that 50% of the tire grip capacity remains.
As an example, in step S120, when the tire performance information of the automobile is prompted, the user may be prompted by sound, may be prompted by images, or may be prompted by a combination of graphics and sound.
By the method, the performance of the automobile tire of a user can be prompted by detecting the ambient temperature only by establishing the mapping relation between the tire performance and the ambient temperature in advance, so that the user can know the tire performance more intuitively, the tire is maintained in time, and the safety of driving the automobile by the user is improved. And the mapping relation pre-established between the Tire performance and the ambient temperature can be recorded into a database and integrated into a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS for short) or other systems, so that additional hardware is not needed, and the cost is saved.
The invention also provides a vehicle tire performance prompting system. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the automobile tire performance prompt system of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the vehicle tire performance prompting system of the present invention includes a detection unit, a storage unit and a processing unit. The detection unit is used for obtaining the ambient temperature of the current location of the automobile, the storage unit stores the mapping relation established between the tire performance and the ambient temperature in advance, and the processing unit can prompt the tire performance information of the automobile according to the ambient temperature detected by the detection unit based on the data stored by the storage unit.
It should be noted that the detection unit of the present invention may be an existing ambient temperature sensor on the automobile, or may be a device separately installed for detecting the ambient temperature; the processing unit of the invention can be a processing chip of a vehicle-mounted computer, and also can be a microprocessor which is added independently; the memory unit of the invention can be used as a stand-alone memory module or can be integrated into other systems. The skilled person can flexibly choose the application according to the actual application scenario.
The tire performance may be tire grip performance, and the manner of establishing the mapping relationship between the tire performance and the ambient temperature is described above and will not be described herein again. The person skilled in the art can flexibly select the appropriate way.
