All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
Example 1
The embodiment provides an automatic anti-collision auxiliary method for an electric bicycle, which predicts the contact time between the electric bicycle and an obstacle based on the imaging principle of a pinhole camera and inhibits the speed of the electric bicycle through a back electromotive force speed reducer. The flow of the automatic anti-collision auxiliary method is shown in the attached figure 1 of the specification. The specific scheme is as follows:
an automatic anti-collision auxiliary method for an electric bicycle comprises the following steps:
101. after the speed of the electric bicycle exceeds a preset value, starting an automatic anti-collision process:
102. continuously shooting image data of the electric bicycle head in a preset advancing range according to a preset time interval through a preset pinhole camera;
103. analyzing whether an obstacle exists in the image data, and when the obstacle exists, two-dimensionally defining the obstacle as a rectangle with a corresponding size according to the outline of the obstacle so as to position the obstacle;
104. selecting image data of two moments, and calculating the ratio of the distances between the electric bicycle and the obstacle at the two moments based on the image height of the same obstacle at the same focal length of the pinhole camera at each moment;
105. substituting the ratio of the distances into a preset contact time relation to calculate the contact time between the electric bicycle and the obstacle, and if the contact time is greater than 0 and lower than a set value, gradually approaching the obstacle by the electric bicycle and being in an emergency state at present;
106. when the electric bicycle is in an emergency state, the back electromotive force speed reducer is started to forcedly reduce the speed, and meanwhile, a rider senses the change of the speed of the bicycle due to inertia force, so that follow-up measures are taken.
The automatic anti-collision auxiliary method of the embodiment can be realized by means of a specific automatic anti-collision auxiliary system, and the automatic anti-collision auxiliary system at least comprises a vehicle speed detection device, an obstacle detection device, an image analysis device and a back electromotive force speed reduction device.
Specifically, the vehicle speed detection device is integrated with a device capable of detecting the vehicle speed, such as a speed sensor, and the like, so that the vehicle speed of the electric bicycle can be monitored in real time. After the electric bicycle power supply is started, the speed detection device is started to monitor the speed of the electric bicycle in real time, and if the speed exceeds a set value, for example, the speed per hour is more than 10km/h, the processor starts a subsequent automatic anti-collision process. The electric bicycle has strong flexibility, and the purpose of setting the lower speed per hour limit is to avoid unnecessary deceleration and even parking caused by the safe slow running of the electric bicycle. If the road condition is complex, the electric bicycle usually runs at a lower speed to ensure safety. The set value is not limited to speed of time >10km/h, for example.
Specifically, a pinhole camera is integrated into the obstacle detection device. Pinhole cameras, also called photographic camera bellows, are prototypes of cameras, the basic part comprising a sealed camera bellows, followed by a focusing screen; in front of the seal box is a small Kong Huohui focus lens on which a clear image can be seen. The principle is as follows: light rays emitted by the object pass through the small holes or the lenses and then generate inverted real images on the focusing screen of the sealing box. The very small holes allow the light at each point of the object to reach the respective image point without overlapping, thereby obtaining a clear image. The smaller the pinhole, the less light passes through the pinhole and the lower the brightness of the image. The principle of aperture imaging is applied so that light propagates straight.
And continuously shooting image data of the electric bicycle head in a preset advancing range according to a preset time interval through a preset pinhole camera. The forward range of the vehicle head can be set according to practical situations, and generally, the driving range at least includes a range in which an obstacle may be encountered during forward driving of the vehicle head. The forward range is mainly a range of transverse radiation with the vehicle head as a starting point.
Specific images of the front obstacle at different shooting moments are recorded in the image data, and the image height needs to be analyzed and extracted from the specific images. The image data of two moments can be selected, two adjacent shooting moments can be selected, a time interval can be set in advance, and the image data before and after the interval can be selected. The image height is the height of the nearest position of the obstacle from the electric bicycle under the preset focal length based on the principle of small hole imaging. In fig. 2, the obstacle in front of the electric bicycle is processed by the pinhole camera, and the obstacle is displayed in a scaled-down mode, and the obstacles with different distances have different image heights under the processing of the pinhole camera. The automatic anti-collision auxiliary method of the embodiment calculates the contact time between the vehicle and the front obstacle by means of the height proportion of the height of the pinhole camera to the image of the object at different moments. It should be noted that, the scheme of this embodiment does not need to actually calculate the specific distance between the electric bicycle and the obstacle, only needs to calculate the ratio of the distances at different moments, so that no special distance measuring device such as radar is needed, the cost is low, and the installation is convenient. The distance between the electric bicycle and the obstacle is the distance between the pinhole camera and the nearest position of the obstacle to the electric bicycle.
The image analysis device defines the obstacle as a rectangular obstacle with a corresponding size according to the outline of the obstacle, and is used for positioning and calculating the distance and the contact time between the electric bicycle and the obstacle. The rectangular obstacle must completely encompass the overall shape of the obstacle, with the longest points in the horizontal and vertical directions of the obstacle being long and tall. For example, an obstacle is a bicycle, which is defined as a plane rectangle, the length of the rectangle is the maximum degree of the bicycle body, and the height of the rectangle is the maximum degree of the bicycle body. As shown in fig. 4, the pinhole camera captures images at the same focal length f at a time interval t, respectively at time t0 and time t1, at a height h 0 H 1 To calculate the distance d between the electric bicycle and the obstacle at time t0 and time t1 0 D 1 The derivation procedure is as follows:
at time t0, the speed per hour of the electric bicycle is v 1 Acceleration a 1 The speed of the obstacle per hour is v 2 Acceleration a 2 The distance between the two is d 0 Relative velocity v r Relative acceleration a r The method comprises the following steps:
v r ＝v 1 -v 2
a r ＝a 1 -a 2
after the shooting time interval t of the pinhole camera, the distance between the electric bicycle and the obstacle is d 1 ：
If the relative acceleration between the electric bicycle and the obstacle is 0, that is, the relative speed of the electric bicycle and the obstacle is maintained at v r Distance d between electric bicycle and obstacle is unchanged 1 The method comprises the following steps:
d 1 ＝d 0 -vrt
the expression of the contact time relationship is:
wherein TTC represents contact time, t represents time difference between two moments, h 1 Representing the image height, h, of the obstacle displayed at the latter time (i.e., time t 1) 0 The image height of the obstacle displayed at the previous time (i.e., time t 0) is shown.
Therefore, whether the electric bicycle approaches an obstacle or not and the contact time can be judged according to the TTC. The electric bicycle is approaching an obstacle, i.e. v r >0，
TTC>0. Specifically, if the contact time is equal to infinity, the distance between the electric bicycle and the obstacle remains unchanged at two moments; if the contact time is less than 0, the electric bicycle is far away from the obstacle in two moments.
Preferably, two pinhole cameras are placed in front of the electric bicycle to respectively detect the range of 135 degrees and jointly detect the obstacle in the range of 270 degrees in the direction of the front of the electric bicycle, and the two pinhole cameras are particularly shown in fig. 3. 270 degrees is the forward range, basically covers the front obstacle which may influence the electric bicycle, and the scheme of the embodiment can be solved no matter what angle the front obstacle affects.
In a practical environment, a sudden obstacle is often critical to the occurrence of accidents. When an emergency exists, excessive warning can lead to misoperation caused by distraction of a rider. Therefore, when the system calculates that the TTC is positive and lower than the set value, the back electromotive force speed reducer is automatically started to reduce the speed of the electric bicycle. In addition to decelerating the electric bicycle, the rider can feel the deceleration due to inertia force so as to improve the alertness and take further action. The complete flow is shown in fig. 5.
In a preferred embodiment, after the back emf reduction device is activated to forcibly reduce the speed, if the contact time continues for several moments still below the set point or the rider does not take effective measures to reduce the vehicle speed, the reduction force is increased until the contact time is above the set point or braking is forced after the vehicle speed is below a preset safe speed. The contact time is continuously lower than the set value, which indicates that the obstacle still affects the electric bicycle, and forced intervention is needed to release the effect. No effective measures are taken to reduce the speed of the vehicle, and the situation that the driver forgets to brake due to distraction, brake failure or no-measure state is considered. The back electromotive force speed reducer increases the speed-restraining force to force braking, so that the front obstacle is prevented from being bumped.
Further preferably, the back electromotive force decelerating device controls braking force of the electric bicycle during braking through a preset torque limit, so as to prevent instant locking of tires caused by excessive braking force during braking, and prevent slipping and even rollover. The back electromotive force speed reducer converts kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy during speed reduction so as to charge a battery, realize cyclic utilization of energy and expand the functionality of the back electromotive force speed reducer.
Preferably, the radar device is used for detecting the pavement depression in the running direction of the electric bicycle; the radar device can be used all-weather without being influenced by weather, and can detect road condition information such as pavement pits besides detecting obstacles.
Preferably, the pinhole camera is illuminated by an infrared illumination device in the case of insufficient brightness to reduce the influence of environmental factors. The pinhole camera is relatively simple in the detection or operation system which is required to be matched correspondingly, the operation time is short, and the relative cost performance is high. However, the use condition may be affected by an external severe environment, for example, in case of severe weather such as insufficient luminosity or heavy rain, a pinhole camera may not recognize or misjudge an obstacle, and an infrared illumination or other illumination system is required to reduce the influence of environmental factors.
In one embodiment, a pinhole camera is provided at the tail of the electric bicycle to detect the vehicle behind the electric bicycle, and the process is similar to a pinhole camera at the head of the electric bicycle. Specifically, a pinhole camera is arranged at the tail of the electric bicycle, so that the pinhole camera continuously shoots image data of the tail of the electric bicycle in a preset rear range according to a preset time interval; analyzing whether a trailing vehicle exists in the image data, and when the trailing vehicle exists, two-dimensionally defining the trailing vehicle as a rectangle with a corresponding size according to the contour of the trailing vehicle so as to position the trailing vehicle; selecting image data of two moments, and calculating the ratio of the distances between the electric bicycle and the trailing vehicle at the two moments based on the image height of the same obstacle at the same focal length of the pinhole camera at each moment; substituting the ratio of the distances into a preset contact time relation to calculate the contact time between the electric bicycle and the obstacle, if the contact time is greater than 0 and lower than a set value, gradually approaching the electric bicycle by the trailing vehicle, and reminding the user of paying attention to the rear vehicle.

Example 2
The embodiment provides an automatic anti-collision auxiliary system of an electric bicycle, which is used for realizing the automatic anti-collision auxiliary method of the electric bicycle in the embodiment 1. The schematic block diagram of the automatic anti-collision auxiliary system is shown in fig. 6, and the specific scheme is as follows:
an automatic anti-collision auxiliary system of an electric bicycle, comprising:
the vehicle speed detection device 1 is used for detecting the speed of the electric bicycle and starting an automatic anti-collision process after the speed exceeds a preset value. After the electric bicycle power supply is started, the automatic anti-collision auxiliary system monitors the speed of the electric bicycle in real time, and if the speed exceeds a set value, for example, the speed per hour is more than 10km/h, the processor starts the obstacle detection device. The lower limit of the speed per hour is set to avoid unnecessary deceleration or even stopping of the electric bicycle caused by complex road conditions when the electric bicycle runs safely and slowly, and the set value is not limited to the speed per hour of more than 10km/h.
The obstacle detecting device 2 is provided with a pinhole camera for continuously shooting image data of the electric bicycle in a preset forward range according to a preset time interval through the preset pinhole camera. Preferably, two image detectors are placed in front of the electric bicycle to detect 135 ranges respectively and to detect 270 obstacles altogether.
An image analysis device 3 for analyzing whether an obstacle exists in the image data, and defining the obstacle as a rectangle of a corresponding size according to the outline of the obstacle when the obstacle exists, so as to position the obstacle; selecting image data of two moments, and calculating the ratio of the distances between the electric bicycle and the obstacle at the two moments based on the image height of the same obstacle at the same focal length of the pinhole camera at each moment; substituting the ratio of the distances into a preset contact time relation to calculate the contact time between the electric bicycle and the obstacle, and if the contact time is greater than 0 and lower than a set value, gradually approaching the obstacle by the electric bicycle and being in an emergency state at present. By comparing the images at different times, it is further determined whether the contact time (TTC) is lower than the set value. If the contact time (TTC) is lower than the set value, for example, the contact time is less than 2.5 seconds, the automatic anti-collision auxiliary system automatically starts the counter electromotive force speed reducer to reduce the speed of the electric bicycle. The set point is not limited to <2.5 seconds, considering the response time of the system and the response time of human beings.
The back electromotive force decelerating device 4 is used for forcedly decelerating the electric bicycle when the electric bicycle is in an emergency state, and simultaneously enabling a rider to sense the change of the vehicle speed due to inertia force so as to take follow-up measures. The back electromotive force speed reducer 4 can control the braking force of the braking system through the preset torque limit, can effectively prevent the situation that the tire is locked, slipped or even overturned due to the fact that the braking force is too strong by pressing dead braking during emergency, and can convert kinetic energy into electric energy during speed reduction to charge a battery. In addition to decelerating the electric bicycle, the back electromotive force decelerating device 4 can also sense deceleration due to inertial force, thereby improving the alertness and taking corresponding measures.
In a specific embodiment, the automatic crash assist system further comprises:
and the forced deceleration unit is used for enhancing the deceleration force until the contact time is higher than the set value or braking is forced after the vehicle speed is lower than the preset safety speed if the contact time is still lower than the set value for a plurality of moments or the rider does not take effective measures for reducing the vehicle speed after starting the forced deceleration of the back electromotive force deceleration device.
The embodiment provides an automatic anti-collision auxiliary system of an electric bicycle, which is used for realizing the automatic anti-collision auxiliary method of the electric bicycle in embodiment 1, so that the automatic anti-collision auxiliary system has more practicability.
The invention provides an automatic anti-collision auxiliary method and a system thereof for an electric bicycle, which are used for predicting the contact time between the electric bicycle and a front obstacle based on the imaging principle of a pinhole camera, and inhibiting the speed of the electric bicycle through a back electromotive force speed reducer, so that the method not only alerts a rider of possible problems, but also prevents or avoids possible collision in advance, thereby reducing accidents caused by collision.
