In one embodiment, fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a radar control method in one embodiment, and referring to fig. 2, a radar control method is provided. The present embodiment is mainly illustrated by applying the method to the radar control system in fig. 1, where the radar control method specifically includes the following steps:
in step S210, the interface circuit 110 receives the state switching information sent by the external device 100, and sends the state switching information to the signal processing device 120.
Specifically, the external device 100 refers to a device such as a vehicle, an aircraft, a robot, and the like, which needs to apply a laser radar, the external device 100 provides a main power supply for the laser radar through the interface circuit 110, and simultaneously transmits state switching information to the laser radar through the interface circuit 110, the state switching information is used for indicating a working requirement of the external device 100 for the laser radar, and the state switching information includes information of different data types, such as a power-on reset signal, a sleep instruction, a WAKE instruction, and the like, where the power-on reset signal is recorded as a WAKE signal, for example, the external device 100 is a vehicle, and when the vehicle does not need the laser radar to provide road condition information, the interface circuit 110 receives the state switching information sent by the vehicle and used for indicating that the laser radar enters the sleep state; when the vehicle needs the laser radar to provide the road condition information, the interface circuit 110 receives the state switching information which is sent by the vehicle and used for indicating the laser radar to enter the wake-up state. Interface circuit 110 also provides an interface for the lidar to communicate with an external network.
In step S220, the signal processing device 120 generates an enable signal according to the state switching information, and sends the enable signal to the bus power supply 130.
Specifically, the signal processor transmits an enable signal to an enable pin of the bus power supply 130 corresponding to the power chip, where the enable signal is used to trigger a corresponding function of the power chip enable pin.
In step S230, the bus power supply 130 enters a corresponding power supply state according to the level state of the enable signal.
Specifically, the level state includes a high level and a low level, the power supply state of the bus power supply 130 includes power supply on and power supply off, a corresponding relationship is preset between the level state of the enable signal and the power supply state, specifically, the power supply state corresponding to the enable signal when the enable signal is the high level is power supply on, the power supply state corresponding to the enable signal when the enable signal is the low level is power supply off, the power supply state corresponding to the enable signal when the enable signal is the low level is power supply on, and the power supply state corresponding to the enable signal when the enable signal is the high level is power supply off. Therefore, the power supply state corresponding to the level state of the enabling signal is determined according to the corresponding relation between the level state of the enabling signal and the power supply state.
In this embodiment, when the enable signal is at a high level, the power supply state is power supply on, and the bus power supply 130 drives the radar operating circuit 140 to enter the wake-up state; when the enable signal is at a low level, the power supply state is power off, and the bus power supply 130 drives the radar operating circuit 140 to enter a sleep state. Realize laser radar in this way and switch between awakening state and dormancy state, avoid laser radar to be in operating condition for a long time, still can postpone laser radar's life when the energy saving.
In one embodiment, the signal processing device 120 includes a main control chip 121 and a decoding chip 122, and the main control chip 121 and the decoding chip 122 are electrically connected to the bus power supply 130 respectively.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, the master control chip 121 is a core control chip of the laser radar, and is configured to perform data analysis processing on the state switching information, and the master control chip 121 may select chips with models of XAZU2EG, XAZU5EV, STM32, and the like. The main control chip 121 is electrically connected to the decoding chip 122, the decoding chip 122 includes a low power consumption module and a communication module, the decoding chip 122 can receive ethernet data through the communication module and decode the ethernet data, that is, the ethernet data is converted into serial stream data, the serial stream data is encoded according to the encoding rule of the physical layer, the encoded data is converted into a digital signal to be output, that is, when the decoding chip 122 receives the data, the analog signal is converted into a digital signal, and the digital signal is decoded to obtain data, which is then sent out through the MII interface. The low power consumption module in the decoding chip 122 is used for controlling the level state of the enable signal. The decoding chip may be a PHY chip including a low power module. The decoding chip can be selected from BCM89881, 88Q2220 and other chips.
In one embodiment, the signal processing device 120 generates an enable signal according to the state switching information, including: the main control chip 121 recognizes the level state indicated by the state switching information, and generates an enable signal when the level state indicated by the state switching information is the first level state.
Specifically, the main control chip 121 recognizes the level state indicated by the state switching information, the level state indicated by the state switching information includes a low level and a high level, and the main control chip 121 only when the level state indicated by the state switching information is the first level state, the corresponding enable signal is generated, the first level state is a trigger level state of the main control chip 121 for generating the enable signal, the first level state may be specifically a low level or a high level, which means that the main control chip 121 can only trigger to generate the enable signal when the level state indicated by the state switching information is the low level or the high level, that is, the main control chip 121 can trigger the generation of the enable signal only in one level state, for example, the first level state is high level, the main control chip 121 can trigger generation of the enable signal only when receiving the state switching information of the high level, and cannot trigger generation of the enable signal when receiving the state switching information of the low level.
If the first level state includes a low level and a high level, it indicates that the main control chip 121 can trigger to generate a corresponding enable signal in both level states, for example, the main control chip 121 triggers to generate an enable signal in a corresponding third level state when receiving the state switching information of the low level, the main control chip 121 triggers to generate an enable signal in a corresponding fourth level state when receiving the state switching information of the high level, and the third level state is different from the fourth level state, that is, the main control chip 121 triggers to generate enable signals in different level states when receiving the state switching information of different level states.
In one embodiment, the signal processing device 120 generates an enable signal according to the state switching information, including: the decoding chip 122 recognizes the level state indicated by the state switching information, and generates an enable signal when the level state indicated by the state switching information is a second level state.
Specifically, the decoding chip 122 recognizes a level state indicated by the state switching information, the decoding chip 122 generates a corresponding enable signal only when the level state indicated by the state switching information is a second level state, where the second level state is a trigger level state of the decoding chip 122 for generating the enable signal, and the second level state may specifically be a low level or a high level, which indicates that the decoding chip 122 can trigger generation of the enable signal only when the level state indicated by the state switching information is the low level or the high level, that is, the decoding chip 122 can trigger generation of the enable signal only in two level states, for example, when the second level state is the low level, the decoding chip 122 can trigger generation of the enable signal when receiving the low level state switching information, and cannot trigger generation of the enable signal when receiving the high level state switching information.
If the second level state includes a low level and a high level, it indicates that the decoding chip 122 can trigger to generate a corresponding enable signal in both level states, for example, the decoding chip 122 triggers to generate an enable signal in a corresponding third level state when receiving the state switching information of the low level, the decoding chip 122 triggers to generate an enable signal in a corresponding fourth level state when receiving the state switching information of the high level, and the third level state is different from the fourth level state, that is, the decoding chip 122 triggers to generate an enable signal in different level states when receiving the state switching information of different level states.
In combination with the above embodiment, the first level state and the second level state may be different level states or the same level state. In a case where the first level state and the second level state may be different level states, for example, when the first level state is a low level, the second level state is a high level; when the first level state is a high level, the second level state is a low level. That is, the main control chip 121 and the decoding chip 122 respectively respond to the state switching information of different level states, for example, the main control chip 121 is triggered by the state switching information of high level and the decoding chip 122 is triggered by the state switching information of low level, or alternatively, the main control chip 121 is triggered by the state switching information of low level and the decoding chip 122 is triggered by the state switching information of high level. Then the main control chip 121 is triggered to make the laser radar enter a sleep state, and the decoding chip 122 is triggered to make the laser radar enter an awake state; or, the main control chip 121 is triggered to make the lidar enter a wake-up state, and the decoding chip 122 is triggered to make the lidar enter a sleep state. Specifically, the rule setting can be performed according to the actual scene.
When the first level state and the second level state are the same level state, the main control chip 121 may generate a corresponding enable signal according to the state switching information, and the decoding chip 122 may also generate a corresponding enable signal according to the state switching information. Namely, the laser radar can enter a sleep state or an awake state through two modes of the main control chip 121 and the decoding chip 122, and when the main control chip 121 is abnormal or the decoding chip 122 is abnormal, the working state of the laser radar can still be switched through a normal chip. In a specific embodiment, the signal processing device 120 generates the enable signal of the corresponding level state according to the level state indicated by the state switching information.
Specifically, when the state switching information is the power-on reset signal, the enable signal in the corresponding level state is generated according to the level state of the power-on reset signal, that is, a preset corresponding relationship is preset between the level state of the power-on reset signal and the level state of the enable signal, specifically, the enable signal corresponding to the power-on reset signal in the high level is in the high level, the enable signal corresponding to the power-on reset signal in the low level is in the low level, or the enable signal corresponding to the power-on reset signal in the low level is in the high level, and the enable signal corresponding to the power-on reset signal in the high level is in the low level.
For example, if the corresponding enable signal is at a high level when the power-on reset signal is at a high level, the main control chip 121 generates a high-level enable signal according to the high-level power-on reset signal when the power-on reset signal is at a high level. The decoding chip 122 generates the enable signal in a corresponding level state according to the power-on reset signal according to the corresponding relationship between the level state of the power-on reset signal and the level state of the enable signal, similarly to the main control chip 121. The enable signal of high level sends bus power supply 130 to, and the power supply state of bus power supply 130 is updated and is opened for the power supply, and bus power supply 130 begins to supply power for radar working circuit 140, makes radar working circuit 140 get into the state of awakening, and the laser radar complete machine gets into the state of awakening promptly.
In one embodiment, the signal processing device 120 generates an enable signal according to the state switching information, including: the main control chip 121 generates a register control instruction according to the state switching information, and sends the register control instruction to the decoding chip 122; after the decoding chip 122 executes the register control instruction, the enable signal is generated.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the state switching information is a power-on reset signal, the main control chip 121 may receive the power-on reset signal through the interface circuit 110, generate a register control instruction according to the power-on reset signal, and send the register control instruction to the decoding chip 122, where the register control instruction is used to adjust a sleep wake-up register in the decoding chip 122, the decoding chip 122 executes the register control instruction, that is, adjusts the sleep wake-up register in the decoding chip 122 according to a parameter corresponding to the register control instruction, and the decoding chip 122 may generate a corresponding enable signal according to the adjusted sleep wake-up register.
Illustratively, when the main control chip 121 receives a low-level power-on reset signal, the main control chip 121 adjusts parameters of a sleep wake-up register in the control decoding chip 122, the decoding chip 122 can generate a low-level enable signal based on the adjusted sleep wake-up register, the decoding chip 122 sends the low-level enable signal to the bus power supply 130, and updates the power supply state of the bus power supply 130 to power off, so as to drive the radar working circuit 140 to enter a sleep state, that is, to make the entire laser radar enter the sleep state.
In one embodiment, the signal processing device 120 generates an enable signal according to the state switching information, including: the decoding chip 122 decodes the state switching information; wherein, the state switching information is information acquired by the interface circuit 110 from an ethernet; when the decoding chip 122 successfully decodes the state switching information, an enable signal is generated.
Specifically, the state switching information may be a sleep instruction or a wake-up instruction acquired by the interface circuit 110 from the ethernet, and when a transmission protocol corresponding to the sleep instruction or the wake-up instruction matches a communication protocol supported by the decoding chip 122, the decoding chip 122 may successfully decode the sleep instruction or the wake-up instruction, that is, the decoding chip 122 may convert the sleep instruction or the wake-up instruction into a corresponding digital signal and output the digital signal, where the digital signal is an enable signal.
Illustratively, when the decoding chip 122 receives a sleep command from the ethernet through the interface circuit 110, after the decoding chip 122 successfully decodes the sleep command, a low-level enable signal is generated, the decoding chip 122 sends the low-level enable signal to the bus power supply 130, the bus power supply 130 updates the power supply state to power off according to the low-level enable signal, the bus power supply 130 stops supplying power to the radar working circuit 140, so that the radar working circuit 140 enters the sleep state, that is, the entire laser radar enters the sleep state; when the decoding chip 122 receives the wake-up instruction from the ethernet through the interface circuit 110, the decoding chip 122 generates a high-level enable signal after successfully decoding the wake-up instruction, the decoding chip 122 sends the high-level enable signal to the bus power supply 130, the bus power supply 130 updates the power supply state to power supply on according to the high-level enable signal, the bus power supply 130 starts to supply power to the radar working circuit 140, so that the radar working circuit 140 enters the wake-up state, that is, the laser radar complete machine enters the wake-up state.
In one embodiment, after the decoding chip 122 decodes the state switching information, the method further includes: when the decoding chip 122 fails to decode the state switching information, the state switching information is sent to the main control chip 121; the main control chip 121 generates a register control instruction corresponding to the state switching information, and sends the register instruction to the decoding chip 122; after the decoding chip 122 executes the register control instruction, an enable signal is generated.
Specifically, the decoding chip 122 fails to decode the status switching information, which indicates that the transmission protocol corresponding to the status switching information fails to match the communication protocol corresponding to the decoding chip 122, the decoding chip 122 cannot convert the status switching information into a corresponding digital signal, that is, the decoding chip 122 cannot directly output the corresponding enable signal according to the state switching information, the state switching information which cannot be decoded successfully is sent to the main control chip 121, the main control chip 121 generates the corresponding register control instruction according to the state switching information, the main control chip 121 further sends the register control instruction to the decoding chip 122, the decoding chip 122 executes the register control instruction, that is, the decoding chip 122 adjusts the sleep/wake-up register therein according to the parameter corresponding to the register control instruction, and the decoding chip 122 generates a corresponding enable signal based on the sleep/wake-up register after the parameter adjustment.
Illustratively, the state switching information is a sleep instruction, but the decoding chip 122 cannot convert the sleep instruction into a corresponding low-level enable signal, the decoding chip 122 sends the sleep instruction to the main control chip 121 through the internal communication module, the main control chip 121 generates a register control instruction according to the sleep instruction and sends the register control instruction to the decoding chip 122, the decoding chip 122 executes the register control instruction and then generates a low-level enable signal, the decoding chip 122 outputs the low-level enable signal to the bus power supply 130, the bus power supply 130 updates the power supply state to power off according to the low-level enable signal, that is, the power supply for the radar working circuit 140 is stopped, so that the radar working circuit 140 enters the sleep state, even if the entire laser radar enters the sleep state.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the radar control system further includes an independent power source 150, wherein the independent power source 150 is electrically connected to the interface circuit 110 and the decoding chip 122, respectively; the method further comprises the following steps: the independent power supply 150 outputs a driving voltage to the decoding chip 122 when the radar operating circuit 140 enters the sleep state.
In particular, the independent power source 150 may be composed of any component and/or integrated circuit capable of storing electrical energy and providing electrical energy to the decoding chip 122. When the laser radar is in the wake-up state, the independent power supply 150 receives the electric energy provided by the external device 100 through the interface circuit 110 for storing energy, and at this time, the decoding chip 122 can directly receive the electric energy provided by the external device 100 through the interface circuit 110 without the independent power supply 150 supplying power to the decoding chip 122; when laser radar is in the dormant state, utilize the inside electric energy of storing of independent power source 150 to decode chip 122 output driving voltage this moment, driving voltage is used for supplying power for the low-power consumption module in decoding chip 122 to maintain laser radar and be in the low-power consumption state.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises: when the bus power supply 130 receives the state switching information sent by the interface circuit 110, the bus power supply enters a corresponding power supply state according to the level state indicated by the state switching information.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the bus power supply 130 is electrically connected to the interface circuit 110, that is, the bus power supply 130 may also receive the state switching information from the interface circuit 110, for example, when the state switching information is a power-on reset signal, the bus power supply 130 enters a corresponding power supply state according to the level state of the power-on reset signal, for example, the bus power supply 130 enters a power supply off state according to the low-level power-on reset signal, and enters a power supply on state according to the high-level power-on reset signal; or, the power supply is started according to the low-level power-on reset signal, and the power supply is stopped according to the high-level power-on reset signal.
