[0035] The present embodiment is described in detail below. Examples of the embodiment are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] A low-speed pedestrian alarm and an electric vehicle according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of a low-speed pedestrian alarm according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the low-speed pedestrian alarm 100 includes a main control module 10, a voice module 20, and a power amplifier module 30, which are connected in sequence. The main control module 10 is used to output a corresponding voice call instruction based on the vehicle speed; the voice module 20 is used to call the corresponding voice information from the voice module 20 according to the voice call instruction; and the power amplifier module 30 is used to amplify the voice information to realize the voice alarm.

[0038] In this embodiment, the main control module 10 can obtain the vehicle speed and then output a corresponding voice call instruction according to the vehicle speed.

[0039] As an example, when the main control module 10 determines that the vehicle speed is lower than the preset value based on the obtained vehicle speed, it can output a low-speed voice call instruction. Then, after the voice module 20 receives the low-speed voice call instruction, it calls the internal sound source to obtain a continuous prompt sound at low speed, and after amplification through the power amplifier module 30, it issues a voice alarm to warn pedestrians that there are low-speed vehicles on the road.

[0040] As another example, when the main control module 10 determines that the acquired vehicle speed is higher than another preset value, it can output a high-speed voice call instruction. Then, after receiving the high-speed voice call instruction, the voice module 20 calls the internal sound source to obtain continuous prompt sound at high speed, and after amplification through the power amplifier module 30, a voice alarm is issued to warn pedestrians that there are high-speed vehicles on the road.

[0041] It should be noted that the main control module 10 can also output a vehicle start-up voice call instruction when detecting that the vehicle is started. Then, after the voice module 20 receives the vehicle start-up voice call instruction, it calls the internal sound source to obtain the continuous prompt sound when the vehicle is started, and after amplification by the power amplifier module 30, a voice alarm is issued to emit a continuous prompt sound when the vehicle starts to warn pedestrians.

[0042] It is understandable that the sound source information corresponding to various continuous prompt sounds can be stored in the voice module 20 in advance, so that the main control module 10 can output corresponding voice call instructions according to different vehicle speeds or vehicle states.

[0043] In this embodiment, a solution of combining a main control module 10, a voice module 20 and a power amplifier module 30 is adopted to store the sound source in the voice module 20, thereby reducing the storage and call pressure of the main control module 10. During operation, the sound source is directly called from within the voice module 20, thereby saving resources of the main control module 10 and improving the sound source quality. In addition, upgrading the voice module 20 during maintenance and upgrades can reduce maintenance and upgrade costs.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the main control module 10 is a S9KEAZ128AMLH single chip microcomputer, the voice module 20 is a WT2003H4-16S voice chip, and the power amplifier module 30 is a TDA2050A power amplifier chip.

[0045] In this embodiment, the S9KEAZ128AMLH single-chip microcomputer is low-cost, has abundant resources, and offers advantages such as low power consumption, high performance, high reliability, and ease of development. In this embodiment, the WT2003H4-16S voice chip is used to increase the audio sampling point, resulting in better voice output, thereby enabling the output of continuous prompt tones with better voice quality and improved tone continuity. Furthermore, the TDA2050A power amplifier chip and its peripheral circuitry further enhance voice quality.

[0046] The peripheral circuits of each module are described in detail below.

[0047] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the peripheral circuit structure of the main control module of the embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 As shown, the tenth capacitor C10 to the fourteenth capacitor C14 are connected in parallel between the +5V power supply and GND to stabilize the voltage of the main control module 10, which can improve the system's resistance to external interference. The seventh capacitor C7 and the eighth capacitor C8 are two capacitors of different capacities, which are connected in parallel between the VCAP pin of the main control module 10 and GND, which can effectively stabilize the internal VCAP voltage of the main control module 10 and further improve the stability of the system. The seventh resistor R7 and the crystal oscillator Y1 can provide an external 8M clock source for the main control module 10. The eighth resistor R8 and the ninth capacitor C9 can provide a reset RESET pull-up for the main control module 10 to ensure that the reset function of the main control module 10 can operate normally. PIN46, PIN49, PIN60, and PIN7 of the main control module 10 together constitute the programming port, which can be used for programming the main control module 10.

[0048] Figure 3 This is a structural block diagram of a low-speed pedestrian alarm according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the low-speed pedestrian alarm 100 further includes a vehicle speed sensor 50. Figure 2As shown, it is connected to the fifty-first and fifty-second pins of the main control module 10. The main control module 10 reads the vehicle speed information through its own fifty-first and fifty-second pins, namely the TXCAN and RXCAN terminals, thereby outputting corresponding voice call instructions according to different vehicle speeds.

[0049] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the peripheral circuit of the voice module of the present utility model embodiment. Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the sixth pin of the voice module 20 is connected to the thirty-eighth pin of the main control module 10 to achieve clock synchronization, and the sixteenth pin of the voice module 20 is connected to the thirty-ninth pin of the main control module 10 to achieve reception of the voice call instruction.

[0050] In this embodiment, the main control module 10 can send a CLK2 clock signal to achieve clock synchronization with the voice module 20, and send a DATA2 signal, i.e., a voice call instruction, so that the voice module 20 calls the corresponding voice information after receiving the DATA2 signal.

[0051] The fifteenth capacitor C15 and the sixteenth capacitor C16 stabilize the internal voltage of the voice module 20. The eleventh resistor R11 is connected in series between the system analog ground and the external ground network to achieve impedance matching between the internal and external ground networks, thereby improving the stability of the entire system.

[0052] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the peripheral circuit of the power amplifier module of the embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the ninth pin of the voice module 20 is connected to the first pin of the power amplifier module 30 to implement the transmission of voice information.

[0053] In this embodiment, after retrieving the voice information, the voice module 20 may send the voice information, ie, the DACL signal, to the power amplifier module 30. The peripheral circuit of the power amplifier module 30 includes first to sixth capacitors C1 to C6 and first to sixth resistors R1 to R6.

[0054] Among them, the first pin of the power amplifier module 30 is connected to the ninth pin of the voice module 20 through the first capacitor C1; the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 of the power amplifier module 30 are connected to a first node, and the first pin of the power amplifier module 30 is also grounded through the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2; one end of the third resistor R3 and the second capacitor C2 of the power amplifier module 30 is connected to the first node, the other end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded, and the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to the fifth pin of the power amplifier module 30, and the fifth pin of the power amplifier module 30 is also connected to the 12V power supply and grounded through the third capacitor C3; the fourth pin of the power amplifier module 30 serves as an output end and is grounded through the fourth resistor R4, the fourth capacitor C4 and the fifth resistor R5, wherein the fourth resistor R4 and the fourth capacitor C4 are connected to a second node, the second pin of the power amplifier module 30 is connected to the second node, and the third pin of the power amplifier module 30 is grounded; the fourth pin of the power amplifier module 30 is also grounded through the sixth resistor R6 and the fifth capacitor C5, and is connected to the playback module 40 through the sixth capacitor C6.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first capacitor C1 processes the signal output by the voice module 20, filtering out the DC component while retaining the AC component. The first through third resistors R1, R3, and second capacitor C2 provide a stable DC bias for the AC component, which is then input to the first pin of the power amplifier module 30. Furthermore, in this embodiment, by adjusting the parameters of the fourth resistor R4, the fifth resistor R5, and the fourth capacitor C4, a desired amplified audio signal is obtained. This signal is then filtered by the sixth resistor R6, the fifth capacitor C5, and the sixth capacitor C6, driving the external speaker, i.e., the playback module 40, to produce the desired continuous prompt tone.

Figure 6 As shown, the playing module 40 can be a speaker, the positive end of which is connected to the output end of the power amplifier module 30, and can be used to play the voice information after power amplification to realize voice alarm.

[0057] Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 7 As shown, the electric vehicle 1000 includes the low-speed pedestrian alarm 100 described above.

[0058] In summary, the present invention adopts a solution that combines a main control module, a voice module, and an amplifier module. The sound source, i.e., the voice information, is stored in the voice chip, i.e., the voice module. This reduces the storage and call pressure of the main control module. During operation, the sound source is directly called from within the voice module, thereby saving the resources of the main control module and improving the sound source quality. Furthermore, the present invention directly upgrades the voice module during maintenance and upgrades, thereby reducing maintenance and upgrade costs. Furthermore, the present invention uses the WT2003H4-16S voice chip to increase the audio sampling point, thereby improving the output of the continuous prompt tone voice effect. Furthermore, the TDA2050A amplifier chip and its peripheral circuits can output a continuous prompt tone with better voice effect, improving the continuity of the prompt tone, thereby improving the user experience and effectively enhancing road safety. Furthermore, the main control module in the present invention is also connected to the vehicle speed sensor, thereby obtaining the vehicle speed in real time and outputting corresponding voice call instructions based on the vehicle speed. This allows for voice warning functions at different vehicle speeds, thereby improving road safety.
