[0061] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a steering wheel dynamic adjustment system provided in an embodiment of this application. The system includes: a steering wheel 1, an information acquisition module 2, a command generation module 3, and a mode selection module 4. The information acquisition module 2 is disposed within the steering wheel 1, and the information acquisition module 2, command generation module 3, and mode selection module 4 are connected sequentially.
[0062] As an optional implementation, the information acquisition module 2 collects feature information and sends it to the instruction generation module 3. The instruction generation module 3 generates control instructions based on the feature information and sends these instructions to the mode selection module 4. The mode selection module 4 is connected to the steering wheel 1. Based on the control instructions, the mode selection module 4 determines the adjustment mode and generates steering wheel adjustment instructions based on the adjustment mode and the control instructions. These steering wheel adjustment instructions are used to adjust the structure and / or temperature of the steering wheel 1. This enables dynamic adjustment of the steering wheel 1, allowing it to adapt to the driver's hand shape in real time, ensuring the driver can maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and improving driving safety.
[0063] As an optional implementation method, Figure 2 This paper illustrates a schematic diagram of a steering wheel dynamic adjustment system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the feature information includes hand shape information. Correspondingly, the information acquisition module 2 includes a hand shape information acquisition module 21, which is used to acquire hand shape information. The hand shape information is used to characterize the position of the driver's palm on the steering wheel 1, and the part of the driver's palm that contacts the steering wheel 1.
[0064] As an optional implementation, the hand shape information acquisition module 21 is also used to acquire grip strength information.
[0065] As an optional implementation, the hand shape information acquisition module 21 is equipped with a force sensor. The force sensor is used to acquire the force at various positions on the steering wheel 1 and determine the hand shape information and grip force information.
[0066] As an optional implementation, the feature information may also include vital signs information and environmental information. Accordingly, the information acquisition module 2 may also include a vital signs information acquisition module 22 and an environmental information acquisition module 23. The vital signs information acquisition module 22 is used to acquire vital signs information, and the environmental information acquisition module 23 is used to acquire environmental information.
[0067] As an optional implementation, the vital signs information may include body temperature information. The vital signs information acquisition module 22 may be equipped with a temperature sensor to detect the temperature of the driver's palm, thereby obtaining body temperature information.
[0068] As an optional implementation, the environmental information may include temperature information inside the vehicle. The environmental information acquisition module 23 may be equipped with a temperature sensor to detect the temperature inside the vehicle or on the steering wheel 1, thereby obtaining the temperature information.
[0069] As an optional implementation, the vital signs information acquisition module 22 and the environmental information acquisition module 23 can share a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor corresponding to the position where the steering wheel 1 contacts the driver's palm is designated as the temperature sensor of the vital signs information acquisition module 22, while the temperature sensors corresponding to other positions on the steering wheel 1 are designated as the temperature sensors of the environmental information acquisition module 23. The division of the temperature sensors varies depending on the position where the driver holds the steering wheel 1; that is, the temperature sensors included in the vital signs information acquisition module 22 and the environmental information acquisition module 23 change continuously with the position where the driver holds the steering wheel 1.
[0070] As an alternative implementation, considering that drivers generally hold their hands on the left and right sides of the steering wheel 1, the temperature sensors of the vital signs information acquisition module 22 can be placed on the left and right sides of the steering wheel 1, and the temperature sensors of the environmental information acquisition module 23 can be placed on the upper and lower sides of the steering wheel 2.
[0071] As an alternative implementation, the environmental information acquisition module 23 can also be set separately outside the steering wheel 1, or other equipment in the car, such as the air conditioning system, can be used to detect the temperature information inside the car.
[0072] As an optional implementation, the vital signs information may also include humidity information. A humidity sensor may be set in the vital signs information acquisition module 22 to detect the humidity of the driver's palms, thereby obtaining humidity information to characterize the sweating of the driver's palms.
[0073] As an optional implementation, the environmental information may also include the ambient humidity information inside the car. The environmental information acquisition module 23 may be equipped with a humidity sensor to detect the humidity inside the car or on the steering wheel 1, thereby obtaining the ambient humidity information.
[0074] As an optional implementation, the vital signs information acquisition module 22 and the environmental information acquisition module 23 can share a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor corresponding to the position where the steering wheel 1 contacts the driver's palm is designated as the humidity sensor of the vital signs information acquisition module 22, while the humidity sensors corresponding to other positions on the steering wheel 1 are designated as the humidity sensors of the environmental information acquisition module 23. The allocation of humidity sensors varies depending on the position where the driver holds the steering wheel 1; that is, the humidity sensors included in the vital signs information acquisition module 22 and the environmental information acquisition module 23 change continuously with the position where the driver holds the steering wheel 1.
[0075] As an alternative implementation, considering that drivers generally hold their hands on the left and right sides of the steering wheel 1, the humidity sensor of the vital signs information collection module 22 can be placed on the left and right sides of the steering wheel 1, and the humidity sensor of the environmental information collection module 23 can be placed on the upper and lower sides of the steering wheel 2.
[0076] As an alternative implementation, the environmental information acquisition module 23 can also be set separately outside the steering wheel 1, or other equipment in the car, such as the air conditioning system, can be used to detect the environmental humidity information inside the car.
[0077] As an optional implementation, the hand shape information acquisition module 21, vital sign information acquisition module 22, and environmental information acquisition module 23 of the information acquisition module 2 are respectively connected to the instruction generation module 3, and send the acquired hand shape information, vital sign information, and environmental information to the instruction generation module 3. The instruction generation module 3 generates control instructions based on the received hand shape information, vital sign information, and environmental information, and sends them to the mode selection module 4. The mode selection module 4 determines the adjustment mode based on the control instructions.
[0078] As an optional implementation, the instruction generation module 3 generates a first control instruction and / or a second control instruction corresponding to the different information received. Accordingly, the adjustment modes include a structural adjustment mode and a temperature regulation mode. The first control instruction instructs the mode selection module 4 to determine the adjustment mode as the structural adjustment mode, and the second control instruction instructs the mode selection module 4 to determine the adjustment mode as the temperature regulation mode.
[0079] As an optional implementation, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding first control instruction when it detects a change in hand shape information, that is, when the current hand shape information is inconsistent with the historical hand shape information.
[0080] As an optional implementation, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding first control instruction when it detects that the grip strength information is less than the preset grip strength information.
[0081] As an optional implementation, the preset grip strength information can be average grip strength information, which is obtained by collecting grip strength information during normal vehicle operation.
[0082] As an optional implementation, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding first control instruction when it detects that the humidity information is greater than the preset humidity.
[0083] As an optional implementation, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding second control instruction when it detects that the body temperature information is greater than a preset temperature and / or the humidity information is greater than a preset humidity.
[0084] As an optional implementation, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding second control instruction when it detects a preset ambient temperature and / or an ambient humidity greater than a preset ambient humidity.
[0085] As an optional implementation, the mode selection module 4 determines the structural adjustment mode based on the first control command, and generates a structural adjustment command based on the structural adjustment mode and the first control command; the mode selection module 4 determines the temperature adjustment mode based on the second control command, and generates a temperature adjustment command based on the temperature adjustment mode and the second control command.
[0086] As an optional implementation, the adjustment mode may also include modes related to vehicle driving conditions, such as commuter mode, high-speed mode, and road bump mode. These modes are used to guide the mode selection module 4 to make adjustments in different directions based on control commands and structural adjustment mode and / or temperature regulation mode, without conflicting with the structural adjustment mode and temperature regulation mode. For example, for the same first control command to adjust the steering wheel structure, if commuter mode is selected, when adjusting the structure of steering wheel 1 based on the adjustment command, not only will the structure of the position where the driver holds steering wheel 1 be adjusted, but the structure of the frequently held area during steering will also be adjusted to allow the driver to quickly grip steering wheel 1 during steering and prevent the driver's hands from slipping when gripping steering wheel 1. If high-speed mode is selected, when adjusting the structure of steering wheel 1 based on the adjustment command, after adjusting the structure of the position where the driver holds steering wheel 1, the structure at that position will be dynamically changed to massage the driver's hands and relieve hand fatigue caused by long-term driving. If bumpy road mode is selected, when adjusting the structure of steering wheel 1 based on the adjustment command, after adjusting the structure of the position where the driver holds steering wheel 1, a raised point will be added at that position to increase the friction between the driver's palm and steering wheel 1, thereby increasing the driver's grip on steering wheel 1 and preventing the steering wheel 1 from slipping out of the hands during bumpy roads.
[0087] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned commuter mode, highway mode, road bump mode, and other modes related to vehicle driving conditions can be selected via the in-vehicle display screen or by setting selection buttons inside the car, or the vehicle control center can determine and select based on information such as the vehicle's current speed, travel time, and road conditions.
[0088] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 2As shown, the steering wheel 1 is equipped with a temperature adjustment module 11 and a structural adjustment module 12, which are respectively connected to the mode selection module 4. The temperature adjustment module 11 receives temperature adjustment commands sent by the mode selection module 4 and adjusts the temperature of the steering wheel 1 based on the temperature adjustment commands; the structural adjustment module 12 receives structural adjustment commands sent by the mode selection module 4 and adjusts the structure of the steering wheel 1 based on the structural adjustment commands.
[0089] As an optional implementation, the structure adjustment module 12 adjusts the structure of the steering wheel 1 differently depending on the received structure adjustment command. For a structure adjustment command indicating a change in hand shape information, the structure adjustment module 12 adjusts the diameter of the position on the steering wheel 1 where the change in hand shape information is detected, thereby adjusting the structure of the steering wheel 1 to fit the driver's hand shape. For structure adjustment commands indicating that the grip strength information is less than a preset grip strength information and the humidity information is greater than a preset humidity information, the structure adjustment module 12 adds a raised point at the position where the steering wheel 1 contacts the driver's palm to increase the friction between the driver and the steering wheel 1, thereby increasing the driver's grip strength on the steering wheel 1.
[0090] As an optional implementation, the air conditioning system in the car can also be connected to the mode selection module 4 to receive temperature adjustment commands sent by the mode selection module 4 and adjust the temperature inside the car based on the temperature adjustment commands.
[0091] This application also provides a method for dynamically adjusting a steering wheel.

[0099] As an optional implementation, the environmental information may include the humidity information inside the car. This can be obtained by setting a humidity sensor in the environmental information acquisition module 23 to detect the humidity inside the car or on the steering wheel 1.
[0100] S303: The instruction generation module 3 generates control instructions based on feature information.
[0101] In this embodiment, the control commands include a first control command and a second control command, and the adjustment modes include a structural adjustment mode and a temperature regulation mode. Specifically, the first control command instructs the mode selection module 4 to determine the adjustment mode as a structural adjustment mode, and the second control command instructs the mode selection module 4 to determine the adjustment mode as a temperature regulation mode.
[0102] As an optional implementation, when a change in hand shape information is detected, i.e., the current hand shape information is inconsistent with the historical hand shape information, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding first control instruction.
[0103] As an optional implementation, when the detected grip strength information is less than the preset grip strength information, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding first control instruction.
[0104] As an optional implementation, the preset grip strength information can be average grip strength information, which is obtained by collecting grip strength information during normal vehicle operation.
[0105] As an optional implementation, when the detected humidity information is greater than the preset humidity, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding first control instruction.
[0106] As an optional implementation, when the detected body temperature information is greater than the preset temperature and / or the humidity information is greater than the preset humidity, the corresponding second control command is generated by the command generation module 3.
[0107] As an optional implementation, when the temperature information preset ambient temperature and / or the ambient humidity information is detected to be greater than the preset ambient humidity, the instruction generation module 3 generates a corresponding second control instruction.
[0108] S305: The adjustment mode is determined based on the control command through the mode selection module 4; the steering wheel adjustment command is generated based on the adjustment mode and the control command.
[0109] In this embodiment, determining the adjustment mode based on control commands includes determining a structural adjustment mode based on a first control command and / or determining a temperature adjustment mode based on a second control command. Correspondingly, the steering wheel adjustment commands also include structural adjustment commands and temperature adjustment commands. Generating steering wheel adjustment commands based on the adjustment mode and control commands includes generating a structural adjustment command based on the structural adjustment mode and the first control command, and / or generating a temperature adjustment command based on the temperature adjustment mode and the second control command.
[0110] As an optional implementation, the adjustment mode may also include modes related to vehicle driving conditions, such as commuter mode, high-speed mode, and road bump mode. These modes are used to guide the mode selection module 4 to make adjustments in different directions based on control commands and structural adjustment mode and / or temperature regulation mode, without conflicting with the structural adjustment mode and temperature regulation mode. For example, for the same first control command to adjust the steering wheel structure, if commuter mode is selected, when adjusting the structure of steering wheel 1 based on the adjustment command, not only will the structure of the position where the driver holds steering wheel 1 be adjusted, but the structure of the frequently held area during steering will also be adjusted to allow the driver to quickly grip steering wheel 1 during steering and prevent the driver's hands from slipping when gripping steering wheel 1. If high-speed mode is selected, when adjusting the structure of steering wheel 1 based on the adjustment command, after adjusting the structure of the position where the driver holds steering wheel 1, the structure at that position will be dynamically changed to massage the driver's hands and relieve hand fatigue caused by long-term driving. If bumpy road mode is selected, when adjusting the structure of steering wheel 1 based on the adjustment command, after adjusting the structure of the position where the driver holds steering wheel 1, a raised point will be added at that position to increase the friction between the driver's palm and steering wheel 1, thereby increasing the driver's grip on steering wheel 1 and preventing the steering wheel 1 from slipping out of the hands during bumpy roads.
[0111] As an optional implementation, the aforementioned commuter mode, highway mode, road bump mode, and other modes related to vehicle driving conditions can be selected via the in-vehicle display screen or by setting selection buttons inside the car, or the vehicle control center can determine and select based on information such as the vehicle's current speed, travel time, and road conditions.
[0112] S307: Adjust the structure and / or temperature of steering wheel 1 based on steering wheel adjustment commands.
[0113] In this embodiment of the application, adjusting the structure and / or temperature of the steering wheel 1 based on the steering wheel adjustment command may specifically include: adjusting the structure of the steering wheel 1 based on the structure adjustment command, and / or adjusting the temperature of the steering wheel 1 based on the temperature adjustment command.
[0114] As an optional implementation, the steering wheel 1 is provided with a temperature adjustment module 11 and a structure adjustment module 12. The temperature adjustment module 11 adjusts the temperature of the steering wheel 1 based on temperature adjustment commands. The structure adjustment module 12 adjusts the structure of the steering wheel 1 based on structure adjustment commands.
[0115] As an optional implementation, the structural adjustment of the steering wheel 1 varies depending on the structural adjustment command. For a structural adjustment command corresponding to a change in hand shape information, the diameter of the position on the steering wheel 1 where the change in hand shape information is detected is adjusted by the structural adjustment module 12, thereby adjusting the structure of the steering wheel 1 to fit the driver's hand shape. For structural adjustment commands corresponding to grip strength information less than a preset grip strength information and humidity information greater than a preset humidity information, a raised point is added at the contact point between the steering wheel 1 and the driver's palm by the structural adjustment module 12 to increase the friction between the driver and the steering wheel 1, thereby increasing the driver's grip strength on the steering wheel 1.
