Example 1:

As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment discloses a control method for an electric vehicle, which is applied to a control system of an electric vehicle. The method includes the following steps:

S1: When receiving the third input information input by the user, determine whether it is currently in a running state. The running state is a state in which the vehicle wheel hub motor is energized and does not hinder wheel movement;

S2: If the third input information is received, enter the temporary parking mode. The temporary parking mode includes an electric locking state in which the vehicle wheel hub motor is energized but hinders wheel movement;

S3: When receiving the first input information input by the user, determine whether it is currently in the temporary parking mode. If so, the vehicle enters the running state; the first input information is the corresponding information preset by the user for determining whether to enter the running state. .

In the above method, the electric vehicle has a temporary parking function. In the temporary parking mode, there is no need to turn off the control system to turn off the vehicle wheel hub motor, but the vehicle wheel hub motor blocks wheel movement to achieve a locked state. Users with vehicle access rights can trigger temporary parking or unlocking through preset input information. They do not need to use a mechanical lock or mobile terminal app to control the locking or unlocking of the vehicle. It is easy to use and can ensure the safety of vehicle use.

In the above S1, in the running state, the vehicle hub motor works normally and does not hinder wheel movement. At this time, the vehicle can be driven to move according to the selected riding mode. In this embodiment, the riding modes of the electric vehicle include a manual mode, a power-assisted mode and a pure electric drive mode. The manpower mode is manpower driven, the pure electric mode is pure electric drive, and the assist mode is manpower and electric hybrid drive. The specific driving methods in each of the above modes are conventional settings in the field and will not be described again here.

In the above steps S1-S2, the third input information is the information preset by the user to determine whether to enter the temporary parking mode. After receiving the third input information in the running state, it enters the temporary parking mode. In the temporary parking mode, the wheels are locked through the hub motor. At this time, the control system of the electric vehicle is in working condition, but the electric vehicle can no longer move forward and backward, nor can it move forward or backward. Re-implementation ensures the safety of electric vehicles.

In the above step S3, the first input information is an unlocking password or biometric information. Passwords such as numbers or graphics can be used as unlocking passwords, and biometric information can use common biometric information such as fingerprint data, pupils, voiceprints or faces commonly used in the existing technology. Using the above information as unlocking information, the electric vehicle can be unlocked without using additional mechanical structures such as keys, which is easy to use and has a low risk of being stolen. Moreover, the reliability of biometric information is high and can improve vehicle safety.

In a specific embodiment, the vehicle includes a locked state, which is an electrically locked state in which the vehicle hub motor is energized but wheel movement is inhibited. Although both the locked state and the temporary parking mode are electrically locked states in which the vehicle's wheel hub motor is energized but hinders wheel movement, there is a difference between the two. Although both the locked state and the temporary parking mode include an electric locking state in which the vehicle's wheel hub motor is energized but hinders wheel movement, the locked state has different additional functions and/or reacts differently to the same input information compared to the temporary parking mode. Moreover, the timing of triggering the locking state and entering the temporary parking mode are different. In this embodiment, the control system enters the locking state by default after being powered on, and enters the temporary parking mode only after receiving the third input information in the running state. When the preset first input information is received in the locked state, the wheel hub motor's obstruction to the wheel can also be released. Specifically, when receiving the first input information input by the user, determining whether it is in a locked state, and if so, the vehicle enters a running state.

In the above method, the unlocking information needs to be set in advance so that when the user input information is received, it can be compared with the preset first input information to confirm whether the unlocking can be performed. For example, when using fingerprint information as the first input information, it is necessary to compare the received fingerprint information with the fingerprint information pre-stored in the database to confirm whether it is the first input information. Before fingerprint verification, the user's fingerprint needs to be entered first. In the fingerprint entry mode, the user's fingerprint data is read, the corresponding relationship between the user and the fingerprint data is established and stored. In a specific embodiment, the user ID and fingerprint data are stored locally, or the controller and the server are connected through a network, and the above information is stored on the server side. As a preference, in this embodiment, the correspondence table between users and fingerprint data is stored in the local memory. When fingerprints need to be entered or fingerprint verification needs to be performed, the data can be directly stored locally, or the data can be read from the local for verification. , there is no need to send user fingerprint data through the network, and the security of user identity data can be ensured. It can be understood that when using a password or biometric information, it is also necessary to set a password in advance or enter the biometric information as unlocking information in advance, and then verify whether the first input information received is the preset information.

As an optional implementation, the contents of the first input information and the third input information are the same, so that only one information entry can be used to trigger the electric vehicle to enter different states, which is simple to set up and helps reduce memory usage. In specific operations, as described in the above steps S1-S3, the state that needs to be switched is determined based on the current state, so that the same information can be used to trigger different states. For example, the contents of the first input information and the third input information may be the same fingerprint information. When used, the current state of the vehicle and/or the number of inputs of the fingerprint information may be combined to determine whether the currently input fingerprint information is Used to trigger temporary parking mode or for unlocking.

As a preferred embodiment, the contents of the first input information and the third input information are different. As an optional implementation, the first input information is biometric information, and the third input information is preset touch information. For example, the third input information may be a specific touch operation method such as clicking or sliding, or may be combined with one of the touch duration of the touch operation, the touch pressure, and the number of consecutive touches (such as the number of consecutive clicks) or Various combinations serve as the third input information. The above settings use biometric information as the first input information, which can ensure the security of unlocking; use touch information as the third operation method, and trigger the temporary parking mode through touch operation, which is relatively simple in data processing and can reduce the cost of unlocking. amount of calculation.

In the above method, the first input information is used as the unlocking information of the vehicle. As a preference, different user permissions can be set. In the case of setting up an administrator user, the unlocking information can be set only with the authorization of the administrator; the user can be deleted with the authorization of the administrator. Default unlock information. For example, when fingerprint data is used as unlocking information, administrator authorization is required to delete the entered user fingerprint data.

The above-mentioned control method of the electric vehicle requires that the above-mentioned steps S1-S3 can be executed only after the control system of the electric vehicle is turned on. In specific embodiments, the system can be started through a mechanical key or a mechanical button, or controlled through a preset touch operation. An app corresponding to the electric vehicle control system can also be set, and the startup can be controlled through a smart terminal loaded with the app. . As a preference, the control system of the electric vehicle is in a locked state by default after it is turned on. It needs to be unlocked before riding. It needs to be further unlocked before riding after starting up, which can enhance the anti-theft effect of the vehicle.

When the control system of the vehicle is turned on based on a preset touch operation, in actual use, there may be a situation where the control system is accidentally touched and the vehicle is turned on. In this case, there is actually no need to use the vehicle. After the control system is turned on, the vehicle is in a locked state, and if it is not detected that the vehicle enters the running state within a preset time, the control system is turned off. The above settings can handle the situation where the control system is turned on accidentally and reduce power consumption. As a preferred solution, after the control system is turned on, in the locked state, if the running information of the wheel hub motor is not detected within the first preset time, it will enter the standby state. In the standby state, if the operation information of the wheel hub motor is not detected within the second preset time, When external information is input, the control system is shut down, and the standby state is a low power consumption state. In a specific embodiment, the low power consumption state may be a state in which the display screen and/or the lighting are turned off, and only the wheel hub motor is powered on to hinder wheel movement. If it is currently in temporary parking mode, the wheels are always in an electrically locked state where the wheel hub motor is energized but hinders wheel movement, and the control system is not turned off. Through the above method, the automatic shutdown of the electric vehicle control system can be realized, which can prevent power consumption caused by the user forgetting to shut down the system, or prevent other users from accidentally touching the fingerprint touch module and continuing to consume power. Whether to automatically shut down in locked state and temporary parking mode is also at least one difference between the two.

As shown in Figure 2, before receiving the third input information or the first input information input by the user, the method includes the step of determining the type of the input information. Preferably, the first input information is fingerprint data, and the third information data is touch data. The above steps include: receiving signal input from the fingerprint touch module, and determining whether the type of the received signal is touch information or fingerprint data. The above setting allows the user to input the first input information and the third input information through the same hardware module, and the hardware structure is relatively simple. In a specific implementation, the specific type can be determined by analyzing the input information, or different data input modes can be entered in advance, and the specific type of input information received can be determined in combination with the current data input mode. For example, when receiving the third input input by the user Before receiving the information or the first input information, it is determined that the current state is in the fingerprint information input mode or the touch information input mode, the first input information is obtained in the fingerprint information input mode, and the third input information is obtained in the touch information input mode. By using the same module to input different types of input data to achieve different controls, it is beneficial to reduce the size of the electric vehicle. The third input information is a specific touch operation method, which can be a common touch operation method such as clicking or sliding, or can be based on one of the touch duration, touch pressure, and number of consecutive touches of the second input information. One or more combinations determine whether the temporary parking mode can be triggered. As an option, you can switch the operating mode of the electric vehicle or set the function according to different operating methods of the fingerprint touch module. For example, double-click to switch the riding mode of the electric vehicle, click N times in succession to enter the fingerprint input mode, click M times in succession Enter fingerprint deletion mode. Similar corresponding functions such as touch duration and touch pressure can be set according to actual needs. In a specific embodiment, a one-to-one correspondence between specific operation modes and control modes or functions is preset, a correspondence table is established, and the control mode or function corresponding to the currently received operation mode is determined according to the correspondence table. By determining the corresponding control mode or function of the electric vehicle through different operating modes of the same hardware module, there is no need to set additional physical buttons or virtual buttons corresponding to each function, which can help reduce the size of the electric vehicle control part. Moreover, there is no need to use another app to control the electric vehicle, and there is no need to use other mobile terminals with corresponding apps installed during use, making it easy to use. Optionally, when an app corresponding to the electric vehicle control system is set, functions corresponding to various operating modes can be integrated into the app and the corresponding functions can be implemented through the app. Optionally, the electric vehicle control system can be turned on and off by operating the fingerprint touch module, for example, a long press can be used to control the electric vehicle control system to turn off.

As a preferred solution, the controller outputs prompt information to the user terminal to prompt the current vehicle usage situation, which includes the current vehicle's riding mode, vehicle speed, battery power and other information. A display screen can be set up on the electric vehicle to display the above information. In the scenario where an app corresponding to the electric vehicle control system is set up, the above information can also be sent to the corresponding app for information prompts.

An electric vehicle applies the above control method of the electric vehicle.

As a preferred solution, an electric vehicle includes a fingerprint unlocking module, a controller and a wheel hub motor. The fingerprint unlocking module and the wheel hub motor are respectively connected to the controller. The fingerprint unlocking module includes a housing and a fingerprint touch module installed on the housing. The fingerprint unlocking module is installed on the electric vehicle through the housing. The fingerprint touch module is a modular setting, which can increase the versatility of the fingerprint touch module. You can directly add this module to the electric vehicle that needs to set the fingerprint unlocking function, and set the corresponding software functions of the electric vehicle.

The fingerprint touch module includes a touch unit and a fingerprint unit. The fingerprint unit is used to read fingerprint data and use the fingerprint data for fingerprint recording or fingerprint unlocking. The touch unit is used to perform operations according to different touch operation modes. Selection of electric vehicle operating mode and triggering temporary parking mode. The above control method of the electric vehicle is realized through the cooperation of the fingerprint unlocking module, the controller and the wheel hub connection.

实施例Example 22 ：:

This embodiment discloses an unlocking method for an electric vehicle, which is applied to the control system of the electric vehicle. As shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps:

When the second input information input by the user is received, it is determined whether it is currently in a locked state. The locked state is an electric locking state in which the vehicle wheel hub motor is energized but hinders wheel movement; the second input information is the user's preset Used to determine whether to enter the running state and open the information corresponding to the second preset control function;

If so, it enters the guest mode. In the guest mode, the vehicle hub motor is energized and the obstruction to the wheels is released, and the second preset control function is opened to the user;

When the first input information input by the user is received, it is determined whether it is currently in a locked state. If so, the vehicle enters the running state and opens the first preset control function to the user; the first input information is the user's preset function. To determine whether to enter the running state and open the information corresponding to the first preset control function; the first input information and the second input information are different.

In the above method, the wheels are locked by electrically locking the wheel hub motor, and can be unlocked through the first input information or the second input information. There is no need to use other devices such as keys or smart terminals loaded with apps to lock or unlock the electric vehicle, making it easy to use. . And different control functions are opened to the user after unlocking through the first input information and the second input information. The first input information is used for normal unlocking, and the second input information is used for triggering the guest mode. Setting the guest mode makes it easy to use for temporary car use scenarios without setting unlock permissions for temporary car users.

In the above method, the first input information is an unlocking password or biometric information. Passwords such as numbers or graphics can be used as unlocking passwords, and biometric information can use common biometric information such as fingerprint data, pupils, voiceprints or faces commonly used in the existing technology. Using the above information as unlocking information, the electric vehicle can be unlocked without using additional mechanical structures such as keys, which is easy to use and has a low risk of being stolen.

Preferably, when the first input information fails to be verified, the user is prompted to re-enter, and if the number of consecutive input errors reaches a preset number, an alarm is issued. Or, when it is detected that the unlocking information has not been set in advance, the user is prompted to set the unlocking information. Taking fingerprint data as the first input information as an example, when it is detected that fingerprint data verification fails, the user is prompted to re-enter the fingerprint data. If the number of consecutive input errors reaches a preset number, an alarm is issued. Or, after detecting fingerprint data that has not been entered, the user is prompted to enter fingerprints.

As a preference, different user permissions can be set. In the case of setting up an administrator user, the unlocking information can be set only with the authorization of the administrator; the unlocking information preset by the user can be deleted with the authorization of the administrator. For example, when fingerprint data is used as unlocking information, administrator authorization is required to delete the entered user fingerprint data. As an optional implementation, after the number of errors in continuously inputting the first input information reaches a preset number, the administrator is required to process the alarm, or the administrator is required to operate to unlock the vehicle control system.

In a specific embodiment, the first preset control function opened to the user after receiving the first input information is different from the second preset control function opened to the user after receiving the second input information. The type of the second preset control function is less than or equal to the first preset control function, and/or the authority of the second preset function is lower than or equal to the authority of the first preset control function. As an optional implementation, the first preset control function is all the functions of the electric vehicle control system, the type of the second preset control function is less than the type of the first preset control function, and/or for the same function, the visitor Mode, the authority of the second preset control function is lower than the authority of the first preset control function. For example, the first preset control function includes the selection of electric vehicle riding mode and speed limit mode. The riding modes include human power mode, power-assisted mode and pure electric drive mode; while the riding mode of the second preset control function only It includes a power assist mode, and the maximum speed limit in the speed limit mode under the second preset control function is smaller than the maximum speed limit under the first preset control function. Preferably, a user with administrator rights sets the specific content of the second preset control function in the guest mode according to actual needs, and sets the access rights in the guest mode. You can set up an app corresponding to the electric vehicle control system, and log in to the administrator account through a smart terminal loaded with the app to perform permission setting operations. The smart terminal may be a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet, a notebook computer, or a smart watch, or a fixed terminal such as a desktop computer.

In this embodiment, the first input information is fingerprint data, and the second input information is touch information. A fingerprint touch module is provided, and the first input information and the second input information are received through the fingerprint touch module. As shown in Figure 3, before receiving the second input information input by the user or receiving the fingerprint data of the first user, the steps include: receiving a signal input from the fingerprint touch module, and determining that the type of the received signal is touch information. or fingerprint data. In a specific implementation, the specific type can be determined by analyzing the input information, or different data input modes can be entered in advance, and the specific type of input information received can be determined in combination with the current data input mode. For example, after receiving the second input input by the user Before receiving the information or the first input information, it is determined that the current state is in the fingerprint information input mode or the touch information input mode, the first input information is obtained in the fingerprint information input mode, and the second input information is obtained in the touch information input mode. By using the same module to input different types of input data to achieve different controls, it is beneficial to reduce the size of the electric vehicle. The second input information is a specific touch operation method, which can be a common touch operation method such as clicking or sliding, or can be based on one of the touch duration, touch pressure, and number of consecutive touches of the second input information. One or more combinations determine whether guest mode can be triggered. For example, long press twice and short press once within 5 seconds to enter guest mode. Combined with the above touch attributes, the specific touch operation used to trigger the guest mode makes the touch operation unique and prevents others from entering the guest mode through a simple attempt.
