Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present application better understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
To facilitate understanding, referring to fig. 1, the present application provides an embodiment of a scissor door control system, comprising: a door ultrasonic sensor 101, a main controller 102, and a main actuator 103.
And the vehicle door ultrasonic sensor 101 is used for detecting an obstacle in the range of the scissor door preset area and measuring the vehicle door obstacle distance between the scissor door and the obstacle.
Further, the door ultrasonic sensor is mounted on a door attachment of the scissors door.
An ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that converts an ultrasonic signal into another energy signal. Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves with a vibration frequency higher than 20 kHz. It has the features of high frequency, short wavelength, less diffraction, high directivity, directional propagation, etc. The detection mode of the ultrasonic wave is direct reflection, and the detected object in front of the sensor is detected by the sensor through partially reflecting the emitted sound wave back to a receiver of the sensor. The distance between the detected object and the ultrasonic sensor can be calculated through the wave speed and the reflection time.
It can be understood that the more reliable detection information can be obtained by mounting the door Ultrasonic sensor on the door accessory, and the Ultrasonic sensors (USS) on the scissors door are respectively mounted on the left door and the right door, that is, the door Ultrasonic sensors include a left door Ultrasonic sensor USS-L1 and a right door Ultrasonic sensor USS-R1. The door accessories are mounted on the door and provide various accessories with auxiliary functions, including door glass, window lifters, hinges, door locks, inner and outer handles, stoppers, sealing strips, and the like.
The preset area range is set according to the specific situation of the vehicle, and is generally at least the maximum space range swept by the fully opened scissor door of the vehicle or larger than the space range. The detection can be set to be real-time, and after the obstacle leaves the range of the preset area, the detection information without the obstacle can be continuously acquired.
And the main controller 102 is used for acquiring the vehicle door obstacle distance and generating a control instruction according to the vehicle door obstacle distance.
The main controller SCU (Single Control Unit, SCU) is mainly responsible for acquiring detection information, processing the detection information, and generating a related Control instruction. In the embodiment, the detection information mainly processed by the main controller SCU is the barrier distance of the vehicle door, the vehicle door cannot perform opening or closing actions due to the presence of a barrier near the vehicle door, if a door opening request is received at the moment, the main controller generates a control instruction for inhibiting the vehicle door from being opened, and if the vehicle door is in the opening process, the main controller generates a control instruction for stopping the vehicle door from being opened, so that the vehicle door is prevented from colliding with the barrier; the door closing request process can also be intelligently adjusted according to the principle, and details are not repeated.
Besides processing the detection information of the barrier distance of the vehicle door, the main controller can also detect other information of the scissor door control process according to actual requirements, even other detection information in the whole vehicle body system can be uniformly sent to the main controller to be processed.
And the main actuator 103 is used for sending a scissor door action request to the main controller, triggering the ultrasonic sensor of the car door to act, and controlling the scissor door to act according to the control command, wherein the scissor door action comprises opening, closing and stopping.
The main actuator SDC (Scissors Door Control, SDC) is a scissor Door controller, is configured to execute commands to Control the movement of the scissor Door, is disposed on the scissor Door, and can receive a request from a driver and send the request to the main controller, in addition to executing Control commands of the main controller. The driver request may be sent through a scissor door remote control or APP, and the detailed technology is not described herein. The main actuator may also be mounted on both the left and right vehicle doors, SDCL and SDCR.
It can be understood that the reason why the door ultrasonic sensor is triggered to operate at the same time when the scissor door operation request is sent to the main controller is that whether the scissor door needs to be opened or closed, the obstacle detection needs to be performed immediately, and the scissor door opening or closing operation needs to be suppressed once the obstacle is detected. The scissors door is stopped when an obstacle is detected in the opening or closing process of the scissors door, and the scissors door needs to be stopped to avoid collision danger.
In addition, the main actuator SDC can be connected with a Hall sensor for feeding back the opening angle and the opening degree of the car door and controlling the opening amplitude of the scissor door. The Hall sensor is a Hall sensor, which is a magnetic field sensor manufactured according to the Hall effect.
Further, still include: a millimeter wave radar;
the millimeter wave radar is installed at the door corner of the scissor door and used for monitoring other vehicle information in a preset DOW area of the vehicle, under the condition that the collision danger is judged to exist according to the other vehicle information, the main controller is triggered to start DOW early warning, a control command for restraining the scissor door from being opened is generated, and the other vehicle information comprises the distance between the other vehicle and the speed of the other vehicle.
The millimeter wave seeker has the characteristics of small volume, light weight and high spatial resolution; compared with optical probes such as infrared, laser, television and the like, the millimeter wave probe has strong capability of penetrating fog, smoke and dust and has the characteristics of all weather and all day long; in addition, the anti-interference and anti-stealth capabilities of the millimeter wave seeker are also superior to those of other microwave seekers; the millimeter wave radar can distinguish and identify very small targets and can simultaneously identify a plurality of targets. The millimeter wave radar is a sensing device capable of quickly sensing information such as the distance, the speed, the azimuth angle and the like of an object in an internal circumference environment within the range of 0-200 meters in all-weather scenes.
The millimeter wave radar mainly detects other vehicle conditions near the vehicle, and can acquire the distance between the vehicle and the speed of the vehicle if other vehicles close to the vehicle exist in a preset DOW (Door opening warning) area, and calculate the collision time according to the speed and the distance, so as to judge whether collision danger exists or not, and trigger the main controller to start DOW warning if the collision danger exists, so as to inhibit Door opening. If the vehicle has a smaller speed, the relative speed can be calculated, then the collision time is obtained, and finally the collision danger condition is judged.
It can be understood that if the collision time is less than a certain threshold, that is, there is a collision risk, at this time, if a door opening command needs to be executed, the DOW warning is triggered. Millimeter wave radars can be respectively arranged on the left door and the right door, and DOW alarms are respectively arranged on the doors on the two sides; and carrying out targeted early warning according to the vehicle information on different sides.
Further, still include: a camera device;
the camera device comprises a front-view camera, a rear-view camera and a panoramic camera;
the forward-looking camera is used for acquiring a forward video stream in a forward preset large and small visual field of the vehicle;
the rear-view camera is used for acquiring a rear-view video stream in a rear preset large and small visual field of the vehicle;
and the panoramic camera is used for acquiring a panoramic video stream within the preset radius range of the vehicle.
Accordingly, the above-mentioned detection information now includes a forward video stream, a backward video stream, and a panoramic video stream.
The camera device comprises cameras in various directions, so that video information of the vehicle can be comprehensively provided, the video information can reflect the conditions of obstacles around the current vehicle most visually, a driver can directly give up the decision of opening the vehicle door according to the conditions of the obstacles in the video, and collision is avoided.
The preset large and small visual fields are generally fan-shaped visual field ranges taking a camera as a vertex, and the side length of a fan shape can be set; the preset radius is based on the center of a vehicle as the center of a circle, a radius with a certain size is set, and a panorama of a circle within the radius range is selected.
The camera device can be combined with the control display assembly to realize human-computer interaction. The Control and Display Unit CDU (CDU) mainly displays video streams of various orientations on an interactive interface, or inputs a door motion request on the interactive interface according to an operation requirement.
Further, still include: a parking radar;
the parking radar is used for detecting obstacle information in a preset distance range of the vehicle, the obstacle information comprises a vehicle body obstacle distance, a vehicle body obstacle direction and a vehicle body obstacle area, and the parking radar triggers the main controller to generate a control command of the scissor door action according to the obstacle information.
The obstacle information acquired by the parking radar is based on the whole body of the vehicle as a reference standard, and is different from the obstacle acquired by the ultrasonic sensor of the vehicle door, the detected obstacle may be an obstacle at the head or the tail of the vehicle, and the obstacle at the position possibly has a space threat to the opening of the vehicle door, so that the detection needs to be carried out on the environment around the whole vehicle body, and the main controller is triggered to carry out self-adaptive adjustment control on the scissor door. It has been found that the scissor door operation can be controlled similarly to an obstacle near the door or an obstacle around the vehicle body, and that the scissor door operation is an effective monitoring means for avoiding a collision.
The detection of the obstacle information can be set to be in a real-time form, the opening of the vehicle door is restrained when the obstacle approaches, or the opening of the vehicle door is stopped, and the opening operation of the vehicle door can be continuously completed after the obstacle is far away from a preset distance range.
Further, still include: an ESP;
and the ESP is used for acquiring the vehicle speed and the vehicle speed validity signal of the vehicle in real time, and triggering the main controller to generate a control command for inhibiting the opening of the scissor door under the condition that the vehicle speed is judged to exceed the vehicle speed threshold value.
An Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is a system or Program that effectively prevents a vehicle from running away when it reaches its dynamic limits while improving the handling performance of the vehicle. Besides obtaining the current vehicle speed of the vehicle, the vehicle speed needs to be confirmed whether to be an effective vehicle speed, and the possibility of false detection and delay detection is eliminated.
When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain vehicle speed threshold value, the situation that the vehicle is still running or is not stopped stably is shown, and the driving door is obviously unsafe, so that the opening of the scissor door needs to be judged according to the vehicle speed. The vehicle speed threshold is set according to actual conditions, but theoretically, the vehicle speed threshold may be a positive number close to 0.
Further, the method also comprises the following steps: a vehicle control unit;
and the vehicle control unit is used for acquiring the current gear state of the vehicle in real time and triggering the main controller to generate a control instruction for inhibiting the scissors door from being opened under the condition that the current gear state is judged to be the preset gear state.
The Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) has many functions, and it is not simple to acquire the gear state information, but in the embodiments of the present application, the functions of the VCU in the gear state operation are mainly described, and other functions are not described herein again.
The preset gear state generally refers to a D gear (Drive) and an R gear (Reverse), and this indicates that the vehicle has a certain vehicle speed and may exceed a vehicle speed threshold while the vehicle is traveling. The preset gear state corresponds to a P gear (Parking gear) and an N gear (neutral gear), and the two gears of the vehicle are generally in a Parking state and are preliminary judgment that the vehicle door can be safely opened. The vehicle speed judgment and the gear judgment are processes of detection and judgment which need to be completed firstly when a door opening request exists, are preconditions for opening the scissor door and are used for ensuring the safety of personnel in the vehicle.
In addition, a positioning module can be added in the body of the vehicle, and is mainly used for providing an IMU + GPS signal for determining the position of the vehicle, such as a garage with good environment, an outdoor parking lot with poor environment or other non-parking areas. The information can provide reference for the height and the opening size of the scissor door.
For convenience of understanding, an example of a scissor door control system is provided, and referring to fig. 3, the scissor door control system includes a main controller SCU, door ultrasonic sensors USS (USS-R1 and USS-L1), and main actuators SDC (SDCL and SDCR), in an actual process, Short Range Radars (SRR) (SRR-RL and SRR-RR) may be used instead of millimeter wave radars, and the technical effect is similar to that of millimeter wave radars, and a positioning module (IMU + GPS) controls display modules CDU, ESP, vehicle controllers VCU, and XPU. The XPU only represents a connecting assembly, and because more detection devices exist, detection information obtained by detection devices except the door is firstly sent to the XPU, so the device connected with the XPU is provided with a camera device, a parking radar, a control display assembly and the like, wherein the camera device comprises a left front camera, a right rear camera, a right front camera, a right rear camera, a panoramic left camera and a panoramic right camera; it can be found that the panoramic camera is connected by an AVM (around view Monitor, panoramic camera system). Besides, a signal switching module CGW (Central Gate Way) is further included to realize information interaction between the main controller and each of the other detecting devices.
The information interaction process in the scissor door control system is as shown in fig. 4, a main controller SCU can respectively obtain detection information from a connector XPU, a car door ultrasonic sensor USS and an ESP, the main controller SCU can respectively realize the information interaction with a control display assembly CDU and a main actuator SDC, wherein the main controller SDC can also be connected with a Hall sensor, and the data of the Hall sensor of the stay bar motor comprises the percentage of opening the door and the real value of the Hall sensor of the stay bar motor. The intelligent control is mainly embodied in whether the scissor door can be opened in the current state or whether the scissor door in the opening process needs to stop to avoid collision, and the closed car door belongs to the car door which has been developed to the maximum space range and is generally in the safe state, and the detection and control judgment process is similar to the above, so that the information flow for closing the car door is not repeated herein.
According to the scissor door control system provided by the embodiment of the application, when the main actuator sends a scissor door action request, the ultrasonic sensor of the vehicle door is triggered to detect whether an obstacle exists near the vehicle door, and if the obstacle exists, the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle door is detected, namely the obstacle distance of the vehicle door; at the moment, if the scissor door action request is to open the scissor door, the main controller controls the main actuator to inhibit the opening of the vehicle door through the control instruction after receiving the detection information; if the scissor door detects that the obstacle approaches when the scissor door performs the opening action, the main controller controls the main actuator to stop the opening action of the automobile door through a control command, so that collision is avoided; the scissors door action is not a simple electric control process, but an adaptive action process. Therefore, the technical problem that the existing scissor door control technology lacks an intelligent control strategy and can not avoid collision danger in time can be solved.
