The invention provides a speed control method and device for an electric
tail gate. The speed control method for the
tail gate is applied to the electric
tail gate in a manual operation process and includes the following steps: S1, judging whether a first
control variable of the electric tail gate is larger than a manual operation threshold value or not, S2, conducting
brake control on the electric tail gate if the first
control variable of the electric tail gate is larger than the manual operation threshold value to ensure that the
control variable of the electric tail gate is not larger than the manual operation threshold value in the manual operation process and a mechanical supporting structure is not damaged, S3, making
brake measures instantly in a manually opened state when the electric tail gate is close to an
extreme position, S4, reducing the speed of the electric tail gate to zero to protect the mechanical structure of the electric tail gate, S5, judging whether the control variable of the electric tail gate is larger than a manual-lock
brake threshold value or not when the electric tail gate is in a manual-lock state, and S6, conducting
brake control if the control variable of the electric tail gate is larger than the manual-lock brake threshold value to prevent the electric tail gate from smashing into a gate lock and damaging the mechanical structure. According to the speed control method for the electric tail gate, the speed of the electric tail gate is guaranteed to be stable and a user can use the electric tail gate safely when the user opens or closes the electric tail gate manually too fast.
