[0027] For brevity and illustrative purposes, the principles of the present invention are described herein mainly with reference to its exemplary embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the same principles are equally applicable to all types of electronic control units and methods of use thereof, and that these same or similar principles may be implemented therein, and any such changes do not depart from the true spirit and scope of the present patent application.
[0028] Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows an automotive electronic control unit 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the automotive electronic control unit 1000 includes a first chip 101, a second chip 102 and a switch circuit 103. The automotive electronic control unit 1000 may also include two DC motor control circuits 104 and 105.
[0029] exist Figure 1 In the automotive electronic control unit 1000 shown in the figure, the switch circuit 103 is configured to connect the first chip 101 with the two-way DC motor control circuits 104 and 105 and disconnect the second chip 102 from the two-way DC motor control circuits 104 and 105 when the first chip 101 is working normally, so that the first chip 101 controls the parking brake motors corresponding to the two-way DC motor control circuits 104 and 105 ( Figure 1 The switch circuit 103 is further configured to disconnect the first chip 101 from the at least one DC motor control circuit when the first chip 101 fails, and connect the second chip 102 to the at least one DC motor control circuit, so that the second chip 102 controls the parking brake motor corresponding to the at least one DC motor control circuit.
[0030] According to this embodiment, since the automotive electronic control unit 1000 includes two chips for controlling the DC motor control circuit, namely the first chip 101 and the second chip 102, even when the first chip 101 fails, the second chip 102 can be connected to the parking brake motor corresponding to at least one DC motor control circuit by switching the switch circuit 103, thereby increasing the vehicle braking capability and eliminating safety risks.
[0031] It should be pointed out that although Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the DC motor control circuits 104 and 105 are shown to be within the automotive electronic control unit 1000. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that in other embodiments, the DC motor control circuits may be disposed outside the automotive electronic control unit.
[0032] In the context of the present invention, "chip" refers to an integrated circuit in an automotive electronic control unit ECU for controlling a parking brake (MoC) through a DC motor control circuit (e.g., an H-bridge circuit), wherein MoC is an abbreviation for Motor on Caliper, and the parking brake includes a motor and a caliper. The expressions "first chip" and "second chip" are used to distinguish between different integrated circuits for controlling a brake motor that are also located in the ECU.
[0033] “Switch circuit” refers to an operating unit that uses electronic circuits to realize circuit switching. In one embodiment of the present invention, the switch circuit 103 is configured to connect the first chip 101 with the two DC motor control circuits 104 and 105 and disconnect the second chip 102 from the two DC motor control circuits 104 and 105 when the first chip 101 works normally, and disconnect the first chip 101 from at least one DC motor control circuit and connect the second chip 102 to the at least one DC motor control circuit when the first chip 101 fails.
[0034] In one embodiment, the switch circuit 103 performs circuit switching according to a signal received from the outside. For example, the switch circuit 103 is configured to switch the circuit when the enable signal from the first chip 101 is not received within a predetermined period. Of course, those skilled in the art understand that the enable signal can be any predetermined signal, such as a high level signal, a square wave signal, and a low level signal, etc., which is not limited here.
[0035] exist Figure 1 In the figure, two DC motor control circuits 104 and 105 are shown as two DC motor control circuits respectively controlled by two output control signals of the switch circuit. In one embodiment, the DC motor control circuit can be an H-bridge circuit. It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the DC motor control circuit can also be implemented by other types of control circuits, and is not limited to the H-bridge circuit.
[0036] In the context of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the term "connection" may include direct connection or indirect connection. For example, connecting the first chip 101 to the DC motor control circuit 104 may include two situations: one is to directly connect the first chip 101 to the DC motor control circuit 104 (without other components or circuits in between); the other is to indirectly connect the first chip 101 to the DC motor control circuit 104 through other circuits (such as a protection circuit or filter circuit composed of components such as capacitors and resistors).
[0037] In the context of the present invention, each DC motor control circuit is used to control one parking brake motor, ie, corresponds to one parking brake motor. In one embodiment, one H-bridge circuit is used to control one MoC, ie, corresponds to the MoC.
[0038] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows an automotive electronic control unit 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the automotive electronic control unit 2000 includes a microcontroller 201 , a dedicated custom chip 202 , a finished chip 203 , a switch circuit 204 , and two DC motor control circuits 205 and 206 .
[0039] exist Figure 2 In the automotive electronic control unit 2000 shown, the microcontroller 201 is used to send signals to the dedicated custom chip 202 and the finished product chip 203. In one embodiment, when the speed of the car is 0, the microcontroller 201 sends a signal to the dedicated custom chip 202 to inform it to control the parking brake motors 207 and 208 for braking. In another embodiment, when the dedicated custom chip 202 fails, the microcontroller 201 sends a signal to the finished product chip 203 to inform it to control the parking brake motor for braking.
[0040] The switch circuit 204 is configured to connect the dedicated custom chip 202 with the two DC motor control circuits 205 and 206 and disconnect the finished product chip 203 from the two DC motor control circuits 205 and 206 when the dedicated custom chip 202 is working normally, so that the dedicated custom chip 202 controls the parking brake motors 207 and 208 corresponding to the two DC motor control circuits 205 and 206. The switch circuit 204 is also configured to disconnect the dedicated custom chip 202 from at least one DC motor control circuit and connect the finished product chip 203 to the at least one DC motor control circuit when the dedicated custom chip 202 fails, so that the finished product chip 203 controls the parking brake motor corresponding to the at least one DC motor control circuit.
[0041] According to this embodiment, since the automotive electronic control unit 2000 includes two chips for controlling the DC motor control circuit, namely the dedicated customized chip 202 and the finished product chip 203, even when the dedicated customized chip 202 fails, the finished product chip 203 can be connected to the parking brake motor corresponding to at least one DC motor control circuit by switching the switch circuit 204, thereby increasing the vehicle braking capacity and eliminating safety risks.
[0042] It should be pointed out that although Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the DC motor control circuits 205 and 206 are shown to be within the automotive electronic control unit 2000. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that in other embodiments, the DC motor control circuits may be disposed outside the automotive electronic control unit.
[0043] In addition, in general, a dedicated custom chip is a chip designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of a specific user or a specific electronic system, and has the advantages of small size, light weight, and low power consumption. A finished chip is a chip sold on the market, which can be applied to various automotive systems and is dedicated to a certain purpose or function.
[0044] "Switch circuit" refers to an operating unit that uses electronic circuits to realize the on-off of a circuit. In one embodiment of the present invention, the switch circuit 204 is configured to connect the dedicated customized chip 202 with the two DC motor control circuits 205 and 206 and disconnect the finished product chip 203 from the two DC motor control circuits 205 and 206 when the dedicated customized chip 202 is working normally, and disconnect the dedicated customized chip 202 from at least one DC motor control circuit and connect the finished product chip 203 to the at least one DC motor control circuit when the dedicated customized chip 202 fails.
[0045] In one embodiment, the switch circuit 204 determines whether the dedicated custom chip 202 is in normal operation by the following method: whether the switch circuit 204 receives a high level signal from the dedicated custom chip 202 within a predetermined period. If so, the switch circuit 204 determines that the dedicated custom chip 202 is in normal operation, otherwise it is considered that the dedicated custom chip 202 is faulty. In another embodiment, the switch circuit 204 determines whether the dedicated custom chip 202 is in normal operation by the following method: whether the switch circuit 204 receives a low level signal from the dedicated custom chip 202 within a predetermined period. If so, the switch circuit 204 determines that the dedicated custom chip 202 is in normal operation, otherwise it is considered that the dedicated custom chip 202 is faulty. In yet another embodiment, the switch circuit 204 determines whether the dedicated custom chip 202 is in normal operation by the following method: whether the switch circuit 204 receives a predetermined signal from the dedicated custom chip 202, the finished chip 203 or other components within a predetermined period, and the predetermined signal has a specific format. For example, when the switch circuit 204 receives a predetermined signal from the finished chip 203 within a predetermined period, it can be determined that the dedicated customized chip 202 has failed, that is, the dedicated customized chip 202 is used by default, and the finished chip 203 is used as a backup only when it fails. Of course, those skilled in the art can also easily understand that in other embodiments, when the switch circuit 204 receives a predetermined signal from the finished chip 203 within a predetermined period, it can be determined that the dedicated customized chip 202 is working normally.
[0046] exist Figure 2In the figure, two DC motor control circuits 205 and 206 are shown as two DC motor control circuits respectively controlled by two output control signals of the switch circuit. In one embodiment, the DC motor control circuit can be an H-bridge circuit. It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the DC motor control circuit can also be implemented by other types of control circuits, and is not limited to the H-bridge circuit.
[0047] In the context of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the term "connection" may include direct connection or indirect connection. For example, connecting the dedicated customized chip 202 to the DC motor control circuit 205 may include two situations: one is to directly connect the dedicated customized chip 202 to the DC motor control circuit 205 (without other components or circuits in between); the other is to indirectly connect the dedicated customized chip 202 to the DC motor control circuit 205 through other circuits (such as a protection circuit or filter circuit composed of components such as capacitors and resistors).
[0048] Figure 3 FIG. 3 shows an automotive electronic control unit 3000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the automotive electronic control unit 3000 includes a microcontroller 301 , a system ASIC 302 , an automatic parking brake system ASIC (APB ASIC) 303 , an L99H01 chip 304 , a switch circuit 305 , and two H-bridge circuits 306 and 307 .
[0049] In the context of the present invention, ASIC is the abbreviation of Application Specific Integrated Circuit, which means a dedicated integrated circuit.
[0050] exist Figure 3 In the automotive electronic control unit 3000 shown, the microcontroller 301 is used to send signals to the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 and the system ASIC 302. In one embodiment, when the speed of the vehicle is 0, the microcontroller 301 sends a signal to the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303, informing it to control the MoC 308 and 309 for braking. In another embodiment, when the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 fails, the microcontroller 301 sends a signal to the system ASIC 302. Subsequently, the system ASIC 302 notifies the L99H01 chip 304 to control the corresponding MoC through the H-bridge circuit for braking. In another embodiment, when the system ASIC 302 determines that the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 fails, the system ASIC 302 will actively send a signal to notify the L99H01 chip 304 to control the corresponding MoC through the H-bridge circuit for braking without the need for the microcontroller 301 to send a signal.
[0051] In one embodiment, the switch circuit 305 is configured to connect the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 with the two H-bridge circuits 306 and 307 and disconnect the L99H01 chip 304 from the two H-bridge circuits 306 and 307 when the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 works normally, so that the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 controls the MoCs 308 and 309 corresponding to the two H-bridge circuits 306 and 307. The switch circuit 305 is also configured to disconnect the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 from at least one H-bridge circuit and connect the L99H01 chip 304 to the at least one H-bridge circuit when the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 fails, so that the L99H01 chip 304 controls the MoC corresponding to the at least one H-bridge circuit.
[0052] In another embodiment, the automatic parking brake system ASIC is configured to periodically send an enable signal to the switch circuit 305 during normal operation. The enable signal can be a predetermined signal, such as a high level signal, a square wave signal, or a low level signal. The switch circuit 305 is configured to disconnect the automatic parking brake system ASIC from at least one H-bridge circuit and connect the L99H01 chip to the at least one H-bridge circuit when the enable signal is not received within a predetermined period. The predetermined period can be set as needed, such as 1ms, 10ms, etc., which is not limited here.
[0053] In one embodiment, the switch circuit 305 is configured to connect the automatic parking brake system ASIC to the H-bridge circuits 306 and 307 and disconnect the L99H01 chip 304 from the H-bridge circuit 307 when the automatic parking brake system ASIC is working normally, so that the automatic parking brake system ASIC controls the MoCs 308 and 309 corresponding to the H-bridge circuits 306 and 307, respectively. The switch circuit 305 is also configured to disconnect the automatic parking brake system ASIC from the H-bridge circuit 307 and connect the L99H01 chip 304 to the H-bridge circuit 307 when the automatic parking brake system ASIC fails, so that the L99H01 chip 304 controls the MoC 309 corresponding to the H-bridge circuit 307.
[0054] In one embodiment, MoC 308 and 309 may be located on the left and right sides of the rear axle of the vehicle body, respectively.
[0055] In one embodiment, the microcontroller 301, the system ASIC 302 (e.g., the ESP system ASIC), and the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 receive signals from each other at a certain period to determine whether the microcontroller 301 and the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 are working properly. The period can be set as needed, for example, 1ms, 10ms, etc., which is not limited here. When the microcontroller 301 is found to have a fault, the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 still keeps sending a control signal to the switch circuit 305. When the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 is found to have a fault, the system ASIC 302 will send a specific signal to the L99H01 chip 304 to enable the L99H01 chip 304 as a backup control chip.
[0056] Since the automotive electronic control unit 3000 includes chips for controlling the H-bridge circuits 306 and 307, namely the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 and the L99H01 chip 304, even when the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 fails, the L99H01 chip 304 can be connected to the MoC corresponding to at least one H-bridge circuit by switching the switch circuit 305, thereby increasing the vehicle braking capability and eliminating safety risks.
[0057] Figures 4 to 6 The working principle of the automotive electronic control unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. According to an embodiment of the present invention, for example, Figure 3 In the automotive electronic control unit 3000 shown in FIG. 1 , when all components are working properly, the microcontroller 301 sends a signal to the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303, informing it to control the MoC (Motor on Caliper, parking brake) 308 and 309 for braking. Subsequently, the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 is connected to the two H-bridge circuits 306 and 307 via the switch circuit 305 to realize the control of the MoC 308 and 309, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 shown.
[0058] When the microcontroller 301 fails, Figure 5 As shown, after the microcontroller 301 is found to be inoperative or faulty, the switch circuit 305 still maintains the connection between the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 and the two H-bridge circuits 306 and 307, so that the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 still controls the MoC 308 and 309 via the H-bridge circuits 306 and 307 to perform braking.
[0059] When the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 fails, Figure 6As shown, the switch circuit 305 disconnects the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303 from the two H-bridge circuits, and connects the L99H01 chip 304 to the H-bridge circuit 307. In addition, the system ASIC 302 sends a signal to notify the L99H01 chip 304, so that the L99H01 chip 304 takes over the control task of the automatic parking brake system ASIC 303, controls the MoC 309 via the H-bridge circuit 307, and realizes the braking of the vehicle.
[0060] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the automotive electronic control unit 1000 , 2000 or 3000 of the aforementioned embodiments may be located in a vehicle body stabilization system.
[0061] Figure 7 The control method of the parking brake switch circuit is shown. In step S702, when the first chip works normally, the first chip is connected to the two DC motor control circuits and the second chip is disconnected from the two DC motor control circuits, so that the first chip controls the parking brake motor corresponding to the two DC motor control circuits. In step S704, when the first chip fails, the first chip is disconnected from at least one DC motor control circuit, and the second chip is connected to the at least one DC motor control circuit, so that the second chip controls the parking brake motor corresponding to the at least one DC motor control circuit.
[0062] In one embodiment, the control method may further include periodically receiving an enable signal from the first chip. In one embodiment, when the enable signal is not received within a predetermined period, the first chip is disconnected from at least one DC motor control circuit, and the second chip is connected to the at least one DC motor control circuit.

These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.
