[0002] With the development of the automobile industry, new energy vehicles have been vigorously developed. At present, private cars are widely used in ordinary families. How to improve the driving safety of vehicles has become the focus of more and more attention. During the normal driving of the vehicle, when an emergency situation requires emergency braking, the driver may mistake the accelerator pedal for the brake pedal due to excessive tension, causing the vehicle to accelerate and cause more serious accidents.

[0003] Chinese patent 102139640A discloses a control system for accidental braking and accelerator pedaling with a switching function, which is composed of an intelligent control system for accidental braking and accelerator pedaling of a vehicle and a switching key. The intelligent control system for accidental braking and accelerator pedaling of a vehicle includes a display screen, a brake actuator, an oil supply actuator, a PLC, a pressure sensor, and a signal generator for accidental braking and accelerator pedaling of a vehicle. The control system is in a permanent state, and when an abnormal accelerator pedaling occurs, the acceleration can be automatically converted into braking instantly; however, if the vehicle is accelerated during overtaking in this state, the accelerator pedaling force must be controlled within the range set in advance by the PLC. Improper control can easily cause an accident.

[0030] The display module 1 adopts a vehicle-mounted display screen, and the vehicle-mounted display screen is connected to a speaker.

[0031] The present invention provides a control method for a throttle mis-stepping prevention system for a new energy passenger vehicle:

[0032] Step 1: The driver inputs the accelerator anti-misoperation function activation instruction to the control module 3 through the display module 1;

[0038] The following is a detailed description of a system and control method for preventing accidental stepping of the accelerator pedal of a new energy passenger vehicle according to the present invention.

[0039] The present invention discloses a new energy passenger vehicle throttle misstepping prevention system, which includes a display module 1, a radar module 2, a control module 3, a motor controller 6 and an accelerator pedal position detection module 4. The display module 1 uses a vehicle-mounted display screen, which is used to input the throttle misstepping prevention function activation instruction to the control module 3. At the same time, when the control module 3 determines that the driver has misstepped the accelerator, the accelerator misstepping icon on the vehicle-mounted display screen lights up. The vehicle-mounted display screen is connected to a speaker, which is used to sound an alarm when the driver missteps the accelerator. The radar module 2 uses a vehicle-mounted laser radar, which is used to detect the distance between the car and the obstacle. The advantage of the vehicle-mounted laser radar is that it can achieve long-distance detection. The control module 3 uses a vehicle controller, which is used to process the information input by the radar module 2, the accelerator pedal position detection module 4 and the vehicle speed detection module 5 and determine whether the driver has misstepped the accelerator. The vehicle controller in the embodiment of the present invention uses the VCU8 model vehicle controller of UMC. The accelerator pedal position detection module 4 includes two accelerator pedal angular displacement sensors, which are used to detect the opening information of the accelerator pedal. The vehicle speed detection module 5 uses an electromagnetic induction vehicle speed sensor to collect vehicle speed information. The motor controller 6 uses a microcontroller to execute the control instructions of the control module 3. Specifically, the control module 3 controls the torque and speed of the vehicle motor through the microcontroller. The model of the microcontroller in the embodiment of the present invention is CKS32F030C6T6.

[0040] The output end of the vehicle display is connected to the input end of the vehicle controller through the CAN bus, the output end of the vehicle controller is connected to the input end of the vehicle display through the CAN bus, the vehicle display is connected to the speaker through the CAN bus, the output end of the vehicle lidar is connected to the input end of the vehicle controller through the CAN bus, the output end of the accelerator pedal angular displacement sensor is connected to the input end of the vehicle controller through the CAN bus, the output end of the electromagnetic induction vehicle speed sensor is connected to the input end of the vehicle controller through the CAN bus, and the output end of the vehicle controller is connected to the input end of the microcontroller through the CAN bus.

[0041] A control method of a new energy passenger vehicle throttle mis-stepping prevention system of the present invention is as follows:

[0042] After the vehicle is powered on, the driver inputs the accelerator mis-stepping prevention function activation information to the control module 3 through the display module 1, and the control module 3 activates the accelerator mis-stepping prevention function to monitor in real time whether the driver has mis-stepped the accelerator.

[0043] The radar module 2 detects the obstacle ahead and inputs the distance information between the car and the obstacle to the control module 3; the two accelerator pedal angular displacement sensors respectively detect the position of the accelerator pedal and input the accelerator pedal opening information to the control module 3 in real time; in order to obtain a smooth accelerator opening curve, the present invention performs a first-order low-pass filtering process on the collected accelerator pedal opening information, and the formula is as follows:

[0044] Acc(t)=aAcc i (t)+(1-a)Acc0(t-1)

[0045] Where Acc(t) is the calculated value of the accelerator pedal opening voltage signal, Acc i (t) is the currently collected accelerator pedal opening voltage signal value, Acc0(t-1) is the accelerator pedal opening voltage signal value at the previous moment, and a is the filter coefficient. The acquisition frequency of the accelerator pedal angular displacement sensor in the embodiment of the present invention is 1000 Hz per second.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the filter coefficient is set to 0.5.

[0047] The control module 3 compares the calculated values ​​of the accelerator pedal opening voltage signals collected by the two accelerator pedal angular displacement sensors, selects the value with the smaller calculated value of the voltage signal as the reference value, and calculates the accelerator opening change rate, the formula is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] Where d(Acc(t)) is the throttle opening change rate, Acc(t) is the current throttle pedal opening voltage signal calculation value, Acc(t-1) is the throttle pedal opening voltage signal calculation value at the previous moment, and Δt is the acquisition period.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, Δt is 40 ms.

[0051] The electromagnetic induction vehicle speed sensor collects the vehicle speed information and inputs it into the control module 3.

[0052] The control module 3 determines whether the driver has stepped on the accelerator by mistake according to the distance information between the car and the obstacle, the accelerator opening rate and the car's driving speed. Taking the embodiment as an example,

[0053] When the vehicle speed is greater than 30 km / h, the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 15 m, and the throttle opening change rate is greater than 0.75% / ms, the control module 3 determines that the driver has stepped on the accelerator by mistake;

[0054] When the vehicle speed is greater than 30 km / h, the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is greater than 15 m, and the throttle opening change rate is greater than 1% / ms, the control module 3 determines that the driver has stepped on the accelerator by mistake;

[0055] When the vehicle speed is less than 30 km / h, the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 15 m, and the throttle opening change rate is greater than 0.5% / ms, the control module 3 determines that the driver has stepped on the accelerator by mistake;

[0056] When the vehicle speed is less than 30 km / h, the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is greater than 15 m, and the throttle opening change rate is greater than 0.625% / ms, the control module 3 determines that the driver has stepped on the accelerator by mistake;

[0057] When the control module 3 determines that the driver has accidentally stepped on the accelerator, the control module 3 stops outputting control instructions to the motor controller 6 and outputs an alarm message to the display module 1; specifically, the control module 3 stops outputting the vehicle's speed and torque control instructions to the motor controller 6, and outputs an alarm message to light up the accelerator accidental step icon on the vehicle display screen and control the speaker to emit an alarm tone.

[0058] After the car's throttle anti-misstep function is triggered, it will last for 0.5S. When you step on the accelerator again, the car will re-judge whether the accelerator is stepped on by mistake. If the accelerator misstep judgment conditions are not met, the car will work normally, the misstep accelerator icon on the car's instrument screen will go out, and the speaker will stop alarming.

[0059] The present invention determines whether the driver has stepped on the accelerator by mistake through multiple elements such as the distance information between the car and the obstacle, the rate of change of the accelerator opening, and the speed of the car. The judgment result is accurate, thereby improving the safety of car driving. The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned methods. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the above-mentioned concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
