[0096] With the rapid development of the automobile industry and the improvement of people's living standards, the number of cars owned by households has increased rapidly, and cars have gradually become one of the indispensable means of transportation in people's lives.

[0097] Vehicle steering usually uses electronic steering. The steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft, and the torque sensor is connected to the steering shaft. When the user turns the steering wheel, the steering shaft rotates, and the torque sensor starts working, converting the relative rotational angular displacement of the input shaft and the output shaft under the action of the torsion bar into an electrical signal and sending it to the controller. The controller determines the rotation direction of the motor and the size of the power assist current based on the signals from the vehicle speed sensor and the torque sensor, thereby completing real-time control of the vehicle steering.

[0098] At present, the level of vehicle intelligence is relatively low, and a new vehicle steering solution needs to be provided.

[0099] In response to the above technical problems, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a vehicle includes a vehicle body, a steering wheel and a controller arranged on the vehicle body; the steering wheel includes a hand support and a steering gear; the hand support is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body and cannot be rotated, and is used to provide support for the user's hands; the steering gear is mounted on the hand support, and is used to generate a turn signal under the user's trigger operation. The user does not need to rotate the hand support, and the turn signal can be generated by triggering the steering gear on the hand support; the controller is used to receive the turn signal sent by the steering gear and control the vehicle to perform a steering action according to the turn signal. It can be suitable for users who are unable to rotate the hand support as well as normal users, thereby improving the intelligence level of the vehicle and enhancing the user experience.

[0100] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0101] Figure 1 and Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle 29 provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1-2 As shown, the vehicle 29 includes a vehicle body and a steering wheel 1, a controller 31, a steering actuator 30 and wheels 28 arranged on the vehicle body. A steering gear is arranged on the steering wheel 1, and the steering gear includes a left steering gear 4 and a right steering gear 5.

[0102] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a steering wheel 1 provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the steering wheel 1 includes a support column 101 and a hand support 102 installed on the top of the support column 101. The structure of the steering wheel 1 is simple and compact. The hand support 102 is fixedly installed on the support column 101 and cannot rotate.

[0103] Figure 4a FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hand support member 102 provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4aAs shown, the hand support 102 includes a middle support plate and a left handshake area 2 and a right handshake area 3 arranged on the left and right sides of the middle support plate. The middle support plate is installed on the top of the support column 101. The hand support 102 is fixed to the vehicle body and the hand support 102 cannot rotate. The left handshake area 2 and the right handshake area 3 are fan-shaped structures. The left handshake area 2 includes a left connecting column 201 and a left handshake lever 202, and the right handshake area 3 includes a right connecting column 301 and a right handshake lever 302. The left steering gear 4 and the right steering gear 5 are installed on the inner sides of the left handshake area 2 and the right handshake area 3, respectively. It should be noted that Figure 4a The hand support 102 shown is an exemplary description and does not limit the hand support 102. The hand support 102 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the hand support 102 can be a circular structure. The structure of the hand support disclosed in the present invention is simple and compact, which is conducive to structural miniaturization.

[0104] In addition, if Figure 4a As shown, the middle support plate is provided with an airbag area 6, the upper part of the left handshake area 2 is provided with an upper control button area 7, and the lower part of the left handshake area 2 is provided with a lower control button area 8; the upper part of the right handshake area 3 is provided with an upper control button area 9, and the lower part of the right handshake area 3 is provided with a lower control button area 10. It should be noted that keys with corresponding functions can be set in each button area according to actual conditions to perform corresponding functions.

[0105] Combination Figure 4a In some embodiments of the present disclosure, each steering gear includes a steering paddle and an angular velocity sensor; the steering paddle is used to undergo elastic deformation under the user's steering operation; the angular velocity sensor is connected to the steering paddle, collects the rotation angle corresponding to the elastic deformation of the steering paddle to generate a steering signal, and sends the steering signal to the controller 31.

[0106] Furthermore, the left steering gear 4 includes a left steering paddle and a left angular velocity sensor, and the right steering gear 5 includes a right steering paddle and a right angular velocity sensor. The left steering paddle and the right steering paddle are respectively arranged on both sides of the hand support 102; the left steering paddle is used to realize the left turn of the vehicle under the user's steering operation; the right steering paddle is used to realize the right turn of the vehicle under the user's steering operation. The embodiment of the present disclosure is respectively provided with a left steering gear and a right steering gear to control the left and right steering of the vehicle. The user can use the left and right hands to control the left steering gear and the right steering gear respectively, which can better control the left and right steering of the vehicle and improve driving safety.

[0107] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the number of steering gears and the implementation form of the steering gears, and can be adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, a steering gear can be provided, and the left and right steering of the vehicle can be controlled by operating the steering paddle on the steering gear in the up and down directions.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 4a The steering paddle is a sheet-like structure, one end of the steering paddle is connected to the inner side of the hand support 102, and the other end of the steering paddle is movable and adjustable. The steering paddle in the disclosed embodiment can be turned upward to trigger the vehicle to turn. When the user holds the hand support, the user's finger will extend under the steering paddle. Therefore, it is more convenient for the user to turn the steering paddle upward, and the user experience is good. Obviously, the steering paddle can also be set to turn downward.

[0109] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a turn signal indicator light provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, the steering wheel 1 also includes a turn indicator light 103 for indicating the current steering degree of the vehicle. The user can indicate the current steering degree of the vehicle through the indicator light, so that the user can more intuitively understand the magnitude of the steering and better control the vehicle.

[0110] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the location and number of the turn signal lights 103, and adjustments can be made according to actual conditions. In one embodiment, the turn signal lights 103 include a left turn signal light and a right turn signal light, the left turn signal light is arranged above the left handshake area 2, above the left turn paddle, and the right turn signal light is arranged above the right handshake area 3, above the right turn paddle.

[0111] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the user has clear prompts when using steering and ensure the safety of vehicle steering. The turn indicator 103 can be adjusted accordingly in combination with the driving state of the vehicle. In the case of high speed or slippery roads, after the steering paddle turns the vehicle, the wheel rotation will be corrected, and the level indicated by the turn indicator 103 will be reduced, that is, the dial level is very large, but because the vehicle's rotation angle will be less than the dialing requirement to ensure safety, the turn indicator 103 will also indicate an intermediate level, and will not indicate the maximum level, giving the user accurate rotation feedback. And when the steering paddle is pressed to the maximum, the turn indicator 103 will turn bright red and flash, and start vibration and beeping sounds at the same time to remind the user that the maximum rotation angle has been reached at this time. Prompt the user to adjust according to the actual driving state. At this time, when the user releases the steering paddle, the wheel will correct the return speed according to the vehicle speed and external environmental conditions.

[0112] To increase safety, turning the paddles to turn will add vehicle corrections to correct the steering and return speeds. While quickly responding to the rotation of the wheels, it will also consider vehicle speed, external environmental factors, radars and cameras to correct and stop the steering operation. When the vehicle speed is high, the wheel rotation will be corrected according to the vehicle speed to avoid the vehicle's grip being reduced due to rapid response and excessive wheel steering, resulting in vehicle loss of control. When it rains outside or the road is slippery, the wheel rotation will be corrected according to the vehicle speed to avoid the vehicle's grip being reduced due to rapid response and excessive wheel steering, resulting in vehicle loss of control. When the radar or camera tests that there are obstacles such as objects, people or animals around, the vehicle's turning angle will be corrected to avoid the surrounding obstacles. At the same time, the turn indicator 103 will turn bright red and flash, and vibration and buzzing sounds will be activated at the same time to prompt the user of abnormal rotation. Release the steering paddles and the wheels will gradually return to the center. The return speed can also be corrected according to the vehicle speed and environmental factors. Under the premise of ensuring safety, the vehicle will follow quickly, and if the radar or camera detects obstacles such as objects, people or animals around, the vehicle will be corrected to avoid the obstacles. At the same time, the turn indicator 103 will turn bright red and flash, and start vibration and beeping sounds at the same time to remind the user of abnormal rotation.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the steering wheel 1 further includes a force adjustment mechanism, which is installed on the hand support, and is connected to the steering paddle. According to the driving state of the vehicle, the steering paddle's steering force is adjusted to a steering force corresponding to the driving state under the control of the controller. The present disclosure prompts the user to turn the steering paddle by adding a force adjustment mechanism to the steering paddle to adjust the steering force of the steering paddle. For example, when driving at high speed, adding a force adjustment mechanism increases the steering force of the steering paddle, allowing the user to clearly perceive the increase in the steering force of the steering paddle, and then the user perceives that the vehicle needs a smaller turning angle at this time. At the same time, the force feedback of turning the paddle increases the user's driving pleasure and improves the user's driving safety.

[0114] Figure 8 A flow chart of a vehicle control method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The steering control of the vehicle of the present disclosure is described.

[0115] like Figure 1As shown, when the vehicle needs to turn left, the user pulls the left steering paddle on the steering wheel 1 upwards. During the user's pulling process, the left angular velocity sensor collects the rotation angle of the left steering paddle, and generates steering information and sends it to the controller 31. After receiving the steering signal, the controller 31 couples the vehicle speed signal, the ambient temperature signal, the ice and snow road signal, etc., and corrects the wheel steering speed, and transmits the corrected wheel steering speed to the steering actuator 30. The steering actuator 30 executes left steering, controls the wheel 28 to rotate left, and controls the vehicle to rotate left.

[0116] like Figure 1 As shown, when the vehicle needs to turn right, the user pulls the right steering paddle on the steering wheel 1 upwards. During the user's pulling process, the right angular velocity sensor collects the rotation angle of the left steering paddle, and generates steering information and sends it to the controller 31. After receiving the steering signal, the controller 31 couples the vehicle speed signal, the ambient temperature signal, the ice and snow road signal, etc., and corrects the wheel steering speed, and transmits the corrected wheel steering speed to the steering actuator 30. The steering actuator 30 performs right steering, controls the wheel 28 to rotate right, and controls the vehicle to rotate right.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to the steering paddle being turned to the maximum rotation angle, the steering wheel is controlled to perform a first reminder operation. When the steering paddle is turned to the maximum rotation angle, the user can no longer control the vehicle to turn in more directions, and the steering wheel performs the first reminder operation to remind the user, thereby improving the user experience.
