For example, the driver may not recognize the door open warning at all and the driver may not be aware of the door open warning at all when the visual alert or the auditory warning caused by the door opening is to focus on the front, or especially when the room is noisy to distract the driver's concentration. Taking a start will lead to an unexpected situation.

If the driver is not aware of this situation and the vehicle is not noticed at all, the driver may stop at a low speed, such as a parking shift, or a minor accident, such as a door damage. It can lead to serious accidents due to the opening.

On the other hand, eco pedals (or smart pedals or intelligent organs) can improve vehicle fuel economy by implementing Eco Mode, which reduces the number of accelerator pedal operations by allowing the pedal pedal driver to feel a completely different pedal reaction while driving. Pedal) is applied.

The eco-pedal (or smart pedal or intelligent organ pedal) as described above provides the driver with at least two different vibrations with separate power to the driver who presses the pedal, which will be an eco mode in which the driving conditions of a particular vehicle are satisfied. Through this, the driver who feels different touch stops the operation of the accelerator pedal and reduces the frequency of the accelerator pedal operation.

However, a door lock device and an eco pedal (or smart pedal or intelligent organ pedal) with an eco mode provide the driver with their respective functions independently of each other, so that synergy and effects between the two devices cannot be expected, especially for door opening. By limiting the unrecognized situation to the door lock device, it is inconvenient to require a separate additional device and design change.

The controller may be replaced with the ECU or the ECU may be replaced with the controller.

The vibration mode and the recognition mode have the same pattern.

The vibration mode and the recognition mode are transmitted to the pedal operated by the driver through the actuator of the accelerator pedal.

The vibration mode is at least three or more eco modes that provide the driver with a vibration different from the normal mode according to the operation of the actuator together with the normal mode implemented without the actuator, and the recognition mode is the eco mode. to be.

In addition, the door opening warning method of the present invention for achieving the above object is to check whether the current engine start is applied with the execution of the logic, and if the engine starting state is checked, the current vehicle is moved or not A logic preparation step;

A logic satisfying step of checking whether the door is open in the current state if the current vehicle is in a moving state;

A logic execution step of implementing a recognition mode of at least one different pattern according to the operation of the actuator to give a different feeling from reaction force transmitted to the driver through the pedal when the door is currently open;

The engine start information of the logic preparation step is determined from the ECU controlling the engine or the controller controlling the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle movement is determined from the wheel speed sensor.

The door opening information of the logic satisfying step is determined using a signal of a door lock device, or is determined using a signal sent from a body control module (BCM), or the ECU or the acceleration controlling the engine that recognizes the door opening. Judging from the controller that controls the pedals.

The recognition mode of the logic execution step is at least three or more eco-modes that provide the driver with a vibration different from the normal mode according to the operation of the actuator, unlike the normal mode implemented without the operation of the accelerator pedal.

In the three or more eco modes, only one pattern is used, at least two types are sequentially used, or three types are continuously used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Since the exemplary embodiments of the present invention may be embodied in various different forms, one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains may be described herein. It is not limited to the Example to make.

1 shows the configuration of the door opening warning apparatus according to the present embodiment.

As shown, the door opening warning device is a door lock device (1) for generating a signal for the locking and unlocking state of the door, and the door display device (10a) indicating whether the door lock is locked by the signal of the door lock device (1) Equipped with a cluster 10, an accelerator pedal 5 for implementing various vibration modes related to the driving state of the vehicle, and receiving and processing various vehicle information provided from the information providing means 30 and the door lock device 1 ECU 40 for receiving and processing a signal and a controller 20 having various logics for controlling various modes of the accelerator pedal 5 by receiving information through communication associated with the ECU 40.

The door lock device 1 is of a conventional configuration that is operated by a button.

The accelerator pedal 5 includes an actuator 7 controlled by the controller 20 together with a pedal 6 that the driver presses and manipulates, and the actuator 7 is in an eco mode in which a driving condition of a specific vehicle is satisfied. When the pedal 6 is pressed, the driver provides at least four or more different vibrations to the driver with separate power, and the driver's accelerator pedal 5 is operated by stopping the operation of the accelerator pedal by the driver having a different touch. The number of times can be reduced.

The accelerator pedal 5 in this manner is commonly referred to as an ecopedal or a smart pedal or an intelligent organ pedal.

The vibration mode 21 provided to the driver in at least four types of the accelerator pedal 5 is a general mode (a) for braking the reaction force to the driver in proportion to the pedal force of the pedal 6 without the actuator 7 being operated. And the actuator 7 is divided into three eco-modes (b, c, d) which provide the driver with a different feeling from the basic general mode (a).

Among the eco modes b, c, and d, the first type eco mode b is a stepping force diagram that provides a quick and short and trembling reaction force through a quick repetitive operation of the actuator 7, and a second type eco mode c. ) Is a stepping force diagram that provides a reaction force by keeping the operation of the actuator 7 constant, and the third type eco mode (d) is a stepping force diagram that provides a high reaction force instantaneously through a quick one-time operation of the actuator 7. Are distinguished.

In addition to the vibration mode 21 of the actuator 7 in the accelerator pedal 5, when the engine start is turned on and the lock state of the door is not confirmed through the door lock device 1 in the stopped state, the pedal ( The recognition mode 22 provided to the driver through 6) is further implemented.

The recognition mode 22 may provide the driver with a different feeling from the vibration mode 21 or may provide the driver with the same feeling as the vibration mode 21.

However, in the present embodiment, the recognition mode 22 provides the driver with the same feeling as the vibration mode 21, which is implemented while the vibration mode 21 is in a running state, whereas the recognition mode 22 is provided. This is possible because the engine start-up is large and the implementation conditions are different, such as the stationary state.

That is, the driver is able to recognize clearly when the vehicle is stopped, even if the recognition mode 22 has the same vibration pattern as the vibration mode 21.

In addition, the door display 10a provided in the cluster 10 visually informs the driver of the locked state of the door lock device 1, which is typically configured in the same manner as the case.

The door display 10a may send an electric signal to the controller 20 or the ECU 40 to inform information about the locked state of the door lock device 1.

In addition, the controller 20 is configured to implement a vibration mode 21 for implementing the normal mode (a) and the eco mode (b, c, d) in the accelerator pedal 5 together with logic for receiving and processing various vehicle information. Other logic for controlling the actuator 7 is provided, and further logic for implementing at least three or more recognition modes 22 in relation to the locked state of the door lock device 1.

However, as described above, since the recognition mode 22 according to the present embodiment is implemented in the same manner as the vibration mode 21, another logic for implementing the recognition mode 22 is not required.

The controller 20 may provide information about the locked state of the door lock device 1 by a signal sent from the door display 10a or a signal sent from a body control module (BCM) or a signal sent from the ECU 40. Recognize.

Normally, the controller 20 communicates with the ECU 40 and controls the accelerator pedal 5, but actually integrates the functions of the controller 20 into the ECU 40 or the functions of the ECU 40 are controlled by the controller ( By incorporating 20) only one of the controller 20 or the ECU 40 can be used.

2 shows the control logic of the door opening warning method according to the present embodiment.

As shown, when the logic of the controller 20 for controlling the accelerator pedal 5 is executed in step S10, it is first checked whether the engine is started as shown in step S20.

Here, the engine start check uses information provided from the ECU 40, and the engine start signal may be directly used by the controller 20 without passing through the ECU 40.

Subsequently, if it is determined that the engine is started, as shown in the step S20, after checking whether the vehicle is currently moving (or traveling) as in step S30, it is controlled differently according to whether the vehicle is moved.

Here, the vehicle running check checks the information obtained by the ECU 40 from the wheel speed sensor, and the signal of the wheel speed sensor may be directly used by the controller 20 without passing through the ECU 40.

If the vehicle is in the moving state as a result of the check in step S30, the current moving state is maintained as in step S31, which indicates that there is no driving of the actuator 7 of the accelerator pedal 5 through the controller 20 or the ECU 40. it means.

On the other hand, if the vehicle movement state as a result of the check in step S30, it is checked whether the door is open in the current state as in step S40.

 Here, the door opening check is information on the lock state of the door lock device 1 as a signal sent from the door display 10a or a signal sent from a body control module (BCM) or a signal sent from the ECU 40. Is recognized through.

Subsequently, if the door is not opened as a result of the check in step S40, the current driving state is maintained as in step S42, which means that the drive of the actuator 7 of the accelerator pedal 5 through the controller 20 or the ECU 40 is stopped. It means no state.

On the other hand, if the door is opened as a result of the check in step S40, the controller 20 or the ECU 40 as shown in step S50 by driving the actuator 7 of the accelerator pedal 5 to the driver through the pedal (6) It will recognize the open state.

In the step S50 according to the control logic is implemented a recognition mode 22 that the driver can feel through the foot stepped on the accelerator pedal 5, the recognition mode 22 is at least 4 in the accelerator pedal 5 as described above It is the same as the vibration mode 21 provided to the driver more than a branch.

In the present embodiment, the recognition mode 22 is the three eco-modes (b, c, d) of the vibration mode 21 implemented by the actuator (7), which is fast through the rapid repetitive operation of the actuator (7) The first type of eco-mode (b), which is a vibrational reaction that vibrates briefly and repeatedly, the second type of eco-mode (c), which is a vibrational reaction, which makes the operation of the actuator 7 constant, and the quick one-time operation of the actuator 7 It is a third type eco mode (d) which is a reaction force transmitted momentarily high through.

When actually implemented, only one type of eco-mode of the first type eco mode (b), the second type eco mode (c), and the third type eco mode (d) is implemented or at least two types of echo modes. The modes may be sequentially implemented, or the third type eco mode d may be continuously implemented through the second type eco mode c in the first type eco mode b.

Other implementations of the first type eco mode (b), the second type eco mode (c), and the third type eco mode (d) as described above are determined according to design specifications.

As described above, the present embodiment has at least three or more recognition modes in which an accelerator pedal 5 which stops the driver's operation in at least four different vibration modes 21 depends on the door lock state of the door lock device 1. By implementing the (22) together, it is possible to prevent the vehicle running or movement of the door open state by simple control logic without improving the structure of the door lock device (1) or any additional device, and in particular, the door lock device (1) and eco-pedal ( In addition, it is possible to greatly increase the merchandise through technology convergence between devices that perform different functions such as smart pedals or intelligent organ pedals.
