[0041] Figure 1 The flowchart provided for the embodiments of the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the application. Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the application belongs.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is intended to include the plural form, and in addition, it should be understood that the terms "comprise" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0044] In the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0045] Embodiment one

[0046] In the prior art, most air pump control methods are to pump air by judging air pressure values, without fully considering the problem of pipe icing in winter. Therefore, the application provides an intelligent networked bus air pump control method.

[0047] The intelligent networked bus air pump control method comprises the following steps:

[0048] S1, obtaining a whole vehicle preparation signal (whole vehicle READY signal), an active pumping switch signal and a month signal, judging the vehicle state according to the whole vehicle preparation signal (whole vehicle READY signal), the active pumping switch signal and the month signal.

[0049] Among them, if the whole vehicle preparation signal (whole vehicle READY signal) is 0, the vehicle is in a low pressure state;

[0050] If the whole vehicle preparation signal (whole vehicle READY signal) is 1 and the active pumping switch signal is detected to change from 0 to 1 at the same time, it is judged that the vehicle is in an active pumping state;

[0051] If the whole vehicle preparation signal (whole vehicle READY signal) is 1 and the month signal is greater than 11 or less than 2, it is judged that the vehicle is in a winter pumping state;

[0052] If the whole vehicle preparation signal (whole vehicle READY signal) is 1, and no change of the active pumping switch signal is detected and the month signal is greater than 2 and less than 11, it is judged that the vehicle is in a regular pumping state.

[0053] When the vehicle is in a regular pumping state, an active pumping state or a winter pumping state, the whole vehicle controller controls the air pump to work;

[0054] The state priority is regular pumping state < active pumping state < winter pumping state. By increasing the state priority, the winter pumping is forced to run, because the icing mainly concentrates in winter, so the priority of the winter pumping state is set to the first place. In cold weather, the active pumping can be performed by operating the active switch in non-winter season, so the priority of the active pumping state is set to the second place. The regular pumping is the last guarantee for vehicle pumping, so the priority of the regular pumping state is set to the third place.

[0055] S2, obtaining a gas cylinder pressure value, a time signal, an exhaust switch signal or a date storage value according to the vehicle state, and outputting an air pump working instruction to the air pump to control the working state of the air pump according to the gas cylinder pressure value, the time signal, the exhaust switch signal or the date storage value.

[0056] When the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle is in the normal inflation state, the vehicle controller outputs a pump working instruction according to the pressure value of the air reservoir.

[0057] Specifically, if the pressure value of the air reservoir is less than 650 KPa, the pump working instruction is output to control the pump to start inflating; if the pressure value of the air reservoir is greater than or equal to 650 KPa and less than 950 KPa, the pump working instruction is equal to the working instruction at the previous moment; if the pressure value of the air reservoir is greater than or equal to 950 KPa, the vehicle controller starts timing, and if the time signal exceeds two minutes and no exhaust switch signal is detected, the pump working instruction is output to control the pump to stop inflating; if the time signal does not exceed two minutes and the exhaust switch signal is detected, the pump working instruction is output to control the pump to stop inflating after a delay of 4 seconds.

[0058] When the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle is in the active inflation state, the vehicle controller outputs a pump working instruction to make the pump start inflating and simultaneously starts timing; if the time signal exceeds 10 minutes, the vehicle controller outputs the pump working instruction to make the pump stop inflating, generates a ten-minute inflation completion flag and stores it, and closes the active inflation switch, wherein the ten-minute inflation completion flag is 1; if the time signal does not exceed 10 minutes, the vehicle enters a low-pressure state, generates the ten-minute inflation completion flag and stores it, and the pump stops inflating, wherein the ten-minute inflation completion flag is 0. When the vehicle controller is powered on again, the ten-minute inflation completion flag is obtained; if the ten-minute inflation completion flag is 1, the vehicle controller determines whether the vehicle enters the active inflation state according to the active inflation switch signal; if the ten-minute inflation completion flag is 0, the vehicle controller directly controls the vehicle to enter the active inflation state, and the vehicle controller restarts timing.

[0059] When the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle is in the winter inflation state, the date storage value is obtained, and the current date is compared with the date storage value; if the current date is not equal to the date storage value, the vehicle controller outputs a pump working instruction to control the pump to start inflating, and simultaneously starts timing; if the time signal exceeds 15 minutes, the vehicle controller outputs the pump working instruction to control the pump to stop inflating, generates a fifteen-minute inflation completion flag and stores it, wherein the fifteen-minute inflation completion flag is 1; if the time signal does not exceed 15 minutes, the vehicle enters a low-pressure state, generates the fifteen-minute inflation completion flag and stores it, wherein the fifteen-minute inflation completion flag is 0; when the vehicle controller is powered on again, the fifteen-minute inflation completion flag is obtained; if the fifteen-minute inflation completion flag is 0 and the current date is equal to the date storage value, the vehicle controller outputs the pump working instruction to control the pump to start inflating until the pump works for 15 minutes.

[0060] Next, combined with Figure 1The intelligent networked bus air pump control method disclosed in the embodiment is described in detail.

[0061] Exemplarily, the intelligent networked bus air pump control method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0062] (1) Vehicle state confirmation

[0063] After the vehicle controller is activated, the vehicle controller receives the vehicle preparation signal (vehicle READY signal), the air cylinder pressure signal P, the exhaust switch signal, the active pumping switch signal and the time signal through the CAN network. If the vehicle preparation signal (vehicle READY signal) is 0, the vehicle is in a low pressure state, and the air pump does not work; if the vehicle preparation signal (vehicle READY signal) is 1, and the rising edge change of the active pumping switch signal is detected from 0 to 1 at the same time, it is judged that the vehicle is in the active pumping state B; if the vehicle preparation signal (vehicle READY signal) is 1, and the time month CAN signal is greater than 11 or less than 2 at the same time, it is judged that the vehicle is in the winter pumping state C; if the vehicle preparation signal (vehicle READY signal) is 1, and no change of the active pumping switch is detected and the time month CAN signal is greater than 2 and less than 11, it is judged that the vehicle is in the regular pumping state A. When the vehicle is in any one of the states A, B and C, the vehicle controller controls the air pump to work, and the state priority is A < B < C.

[0064] (2) Regular pumping control

[0065] If the vehicle controller judges that the vehicle is in the regular pumping state A, and the air cylinder pressure value P < 650 Kpa, the air pump working instruction on = 1 is output, and the air pump starts pumping; if the air cylinder pressure value P ≥ 650 Kpa and P < 950 Kpa, the air pump working instruction is equal to the working instruction at the last moment, that is, on = on_last; if the air cylinder pressure value P ≥ 950 Kpa, the vehicle controller starts timing, and if the time t exceeds two minutes and no exhaust switch signal pq = 0 is received, the vehicle controller controls the air pump working instruction on = 0, and the air pump stops pumping; if the exhaust switch signal pq = 1 is received within two minutes, the vehicle controller delays for 4 seconds to control the air pump working instruction on = 0, and the air pump stops pumping. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0066]

[0067] Wherein, on is the air pump working instruction, P is the air cylinder pressure value, t is the time, pq is the exhaust switch signal, and on_last is the air pump working instruction at the last moment.

[0068] (3) Active pumping control

[0069] The vehicle controller judges that the vehicle is in the active inflation state B, that is, the rising edge change of the active inflation switch signal from 0 to 1 is detected, that is, switch_flag = 1, and outputs the air pump working instruction on = 1, and the air pump starts to inflate. At the same time, the vehicle controller performs timing, and if the time t1 exceeds 10 minutes, the vehicle controller controls the air pump to output the working instruction on = 0, and stores the 10-minute inflation completion flag ten_flag = 1 (wherein the initial value of ten_flag is set to 2) in the vehicle controller flash, and sets switch_flag to 0; if the time t1 does not exceed 10 minutes, the vehicle preparation signal (vehicle READY signal) becomes 0, that is, the vehicle becomes a low-pressure state, and the air pump stops inflating, and the vehicle controller stores ten_flag = 0 in the flash, and clears t1. When next power-on, the vehicle controller recovers the ten_flag value from the flash, and if ten_flag = 1, the vehicle controller needs to control whether the vehicle enters the active inflation state B according to the value of switch_flag; if ten_flag = 0, the vehicle controller does not need to judge whether switch_flag is 1, and directly controls the vehicle to enter the active inflation state B, and the air pump starts to inflate, and t1 is restarted, until the air pump works for 10 minutes, that is, the vehicle enters the active inflation control, and it is necessary to ensure that the air pump works continuously for 10 minutes to control the instruction to become 0. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0070]

[0071] Wherein, switch_flag is the active inflation switch signal, ten_flag is the 10-minute inflation completion flag, and t1 is the time.

[0072] (4) Winter inflation control

[0073] The vehicle controller judges that the vehicle is in the winter inflation state C, that is, the received time month CAN signal is greater than 11 or less than 2, and first judges whether the vehicle is powered on for the first time of the day. Among them, the first power-on is stored in the flash by storing the current date day_now, and then the date storage value is set as day_mem every time the power-on is obtained from the flash, and day_mem and day_now are compared to see if they are equal, if not, it is recorded as the first power-on of each day first_flag = 1, otherwise first_flag = 0, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0074]

[0075] Wherein, first_flag is the first power-on flag of each day, day_now is the current date, and day_mem is the date storage value.

[0076] If first_flag = 1, the vehicle controller outputs the air pump working instruction on = 1, the air pump starts to pump, and the vehicle controller starts timing. If the time t2 exceeds 15 minutes, the vehicle controller controls the air pump to output the working instruction on = 0, the air pump stops pumping, and a 15-minute pumping completion flag fifteen_flag = 1 (wherein the initial value of fifteen_flag is set to 2) is stored in the vehicle controller flash. If the time t2 does not exceed 15 minutes, the vehicle preparation signal (vehicle READY signal) becomes 0, that is, the vehicle becomes a low pressure state, the air pump stops pumping, and the vehicle controller stores fifteen_flag = 0 in the flash and clears t2. When next powered on, the vehicle controller restores the fifteen_flag value from the flash. If fifteen_flag = 0 and first_flag = 0, the vehicle controller outputs the air pump working instruction on = 1, t2 is restarted, and the air pump works for 15 minutes. The vehicle controller controls the air pump to output the working instruction on = 0, that is, the air pump must work continuously for 15 minutes every new day in winter to control the instruction to become 0. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0077]

[0078] Wherein, fifteen_flag is a 15-minute pumping completion flag, first_flag is a first-time pumping flag per day, and t2 is time.

[0079] Example two
