Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly relates to a vehicle control method, a vehicle control device, an electronic device, and a computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] The roll angle and the pitch angle of a vehicle are two important indicators for evaluating the degree of motion of the vehicle. The roll angle is generated when the vehicle turns at a high speed, and an excessively large roll angle can cause the wheels to leave the ground and even lead to vehicle rollover in severe cases. The pitch angle is generated when the vehicle accelerates or decelerates rapidly, and an excessively large pitch angle can cause "brake nodding" or "acceleration nodding", which reduces the comfort of the ride.

[0003] In order to ensure the safety of driving and the comfort of the ride, the vehicle can be controlled by estimating the roll angle and the pitch angle. However, in the current vehicle control method, the roll angle and the pitch angle are estimated based on an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, and a vehicle speed sensor. However, the acceleration sensor and the gyroscope are relatively expensive, and when the vehicle is driving on a slope, the use of the gyroscope can reduce the accuracy of the calculation of the roll angle and the pitch angle. That is, the current vehicle control method cannot determine the roll angle and the pitch angle with high precision at a low cost. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a vehicle control method, a vehicle control device, an electronic device, and a computer readable storage medium, which can determine the roll angle and the pitch angle with high precision at a low cost.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a vehicle control method, wherein a specified suspension control arm of the vehicle is provided with a height sensor, and the control method comprises:

[0006] When the specified suspension control arm moves, determining a voltage value of the height sensor corresponding to the specified suspension control arm;

[0007] Determining the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle based on the voltage value.

[0011] In a third aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0012] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer readable storage medium, wherein the computer readable storage medium stores a computer program, and the computer program is executable by a processor to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0013] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a computer program product, wherein the computer program product comprises a computer program, and the computer program is executable by one or more processors to implement the steps of the method according to the first aspect.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the beneficial effects that: for a vehicle provided with a height sensor on a specified suspension control arm, the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle can be determined by the voltage value of the height sensor corresponding to the specified suspension control arm when the specified suspension control arm moves. In this control method, no additional acceleration sensor and gyroscope are needed, and only the height sensor is relied on to determine the roll angle and the pitch angle of the vehicle, so that the cost of the control method can be reduced, and even if the vehicle is driving on a slope, the accuracy of the determination of the roll angle and the pitch angle will not be reduced due to the interference of the slope on the gyroscope. That is, the control method can determine the roll angle and the pitch angle with high accuracy at a low cost.

[0015] It can be understood that the beneficial effects of the second aspect to the fifth aspect can be referred to the related description in the first aspect, which will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0025] In the following description, for the purpose of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system configurations, techniques, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

[0026] In the related art, in the process of controlling a vehicle, the side tilt angle and the longitudinal tilt angle of the vehicle are mostly determined based on an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, and a vehicle speed sensor. However, the price of the acceleration sensor and the gyroscope is relatively high, and when the vehicle is driving on a slope, the slope will interfere with the gyroscope, thereby reducing the accuracy of the determination of the side tilt angle and the longitudinal tilt angle. Therefore, the current vehicle control method is difficult to determine the side tilt angle and the longitudinal tilt angle with high precision at a low cost.

[0027] To solve this problem, the present application proposes a vehicle control method, which can determine the side tilt angle and the longitudinal tilt angle with high precision at a low cost. The control method proposed by the present application will be described below through specific embodiments.

[0028] The control method of the scenario mode provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a smart vehicle and other electronic devices capable of sending control instructions to the vehicle, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted device, an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific type of the electronic device.

[0029] For ease of illustration, the vehicle will be taken as the execution subject to describe each embodiment.

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a control method of a vehicle provided in the present application is shown, the specified suspension control arm of the vehicle is provided with a height sensor, and the control method comprises the following steps:

[0031] In step 110, when the specified suspension control arm moves, the voltage value of the height sensor corresponding to the specified suspension control arm is determined.

[0032] When the roll and / or pitch occurs, the vehicle not only generates a roll angle and / or a pitch angle, but also swings upward or downward. The more serious the roll and / or pitch is, the greater the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle is, and the greater the swing amplitude of the suspension control arm is. Therefore, the vehicle can determine the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle by measuring the swing amplitude of the suspension control arm, and then evaluate the degree of the roll and / or the pitch of the vehicle.

[0033] Specifically, the vehicle can first determine the voltage value of the height sensor corresponding to the specified suspension control arm when the specified suspension control arm moves. The voltage value can reflect the swing amplitude of the specified suspension control arm, so as to subsequently determine the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle.

[0034] In step 120, the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle is determined based on the voltage value.

[0035] After the voltage value is determined, the vehicle can determine the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle according to the voltage value.

[0036] In this embodiment, for vehicles equipped with height sensors on designated suspension control arms, the roll angle and / or pitch angle can be determined by the voltage value of the height sensor corresponding to the designated suspension control arm when the designated suspension control arm moves. Because this control method eliminates the need for additional accelerometers and gyroscopes, relying solely on height sensors to determine the roll and pitch angles, it not only reduces the cost of the control method but also achieves high accuracy in roll and / or pitch angles even when the vehicle is traveling on a slope, as a gyroscope is not used. In other words, this control method can determine highly accurate roll and pitch angles at a lower cost.

[0037] In some embodiments, the height sensor may include a body, a crossbar, and a straight bar. In order to accurately determine the voltage value of the height sensor, the connection relationship between the various components of the height sensor and the connection relationship between the height sensor and the designated suspension control arm may be as follows: one end of the straight bar is connected to the designated suspension control arm, the other end of the straight bar is connected to one end of the crossbar, and the other end of the crossbar is connected to the body.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the height sensor 10 may include a body 11, a crossbar 12, and a straight bar 13. The body 11 is connected to one end of the crossbar 12, and the other end of the crossbar 12 is connected to one end of the straight bar 13, thus forming the height sensor 10. The height sensor 10 installed on a designated suspension control arm 20 is connected to the designated suspension control arm 20 through the other end of the straight bar 13.

[0039] Accordingly, determining the voltage value of the height sensor corresponding to the specified suspension control arm may include:

[0040] Determine the voltage value generated by the movement of the crossbar and the straight bar, which are the movements of the crossbar and the straight bar under the drive of the specified suspension control arm.

[0041] When a designated suspension control arm moves, the crossbar and straight bar will move in the same direction as the designated suspension control arm under its drive, so that the main body can generate a corresponding voltage value. It can be understood that the voltage value output by the main body is also the voltage value of the height sensor that the vehicle needs to determine. The vehicle can further determine the roll angle and pitch angle based on this voltage value.

[0042] It can be understood that when the specified suspension control arm swings upward, the straight rod connected with the suspension control arm can drive the cross rod to move upward under the pushing of the suspension control arm; and in the process of upward movement of the straight rod and the cross rod, the body is fixed; thus, the body can output a corresponding voltage value according to the amplitude of the upward movement of the straight rod and the cross rod, and the voltage value is also the voltage value corresponding to the height sensor when the specified suspension control arm swings upward; similarly, when the specified suspension control arm swings downward, the straight rod connected with the suspension control arm can drive the cross rod to move downward under the pushing of the suspension control arm; similarly, in the process of downward movement of the straight rod and the cross rod, the body is fixed; thus, the body can output a corresponding voltage value according to the amplitude of the downward movement of the straight rod and the cross rod, and the voltage value is also the voltage value corresponding to the height sensor when the specified suspension control arm swings downward.

[0043] In some embodiments, in order to be able to determine the roll angle and / or the pitch angle based on the voltage value of the height sensor, the specified suspension control arm can be a first suspension control arm corresponding to each wheel in a set of target wheels, and the line connecting two wheels in the target wheels passes through the suspension center of the vehicle, for example, the front left wheel and the rear right wheel of the vehicle, or the front left wheel or the rear right wheel of the vehicle. Correspondingly, each first suspension control arm is provided with a height sensor.

[0044] For example, assuming that the set of target wheels is the front left wheel and the rear right wheel of the vehicle, a height sensor can be arranged on the first suspension control arm corresponding to the front left wheel, and a height sensor can be arranged on the first suspension control arm corresponding to the rear right wheel. That is, the number of first suspension control arms corresponds to the number of height sensors, and the voltage value output by each height sensor can represent the swing amplitude of the corresponding first suspension control arm.

[0045] In some embodiments, the specified suspension control arm can also be a second suspension control arm corresponding to each wheel of the vehicle. It can be understood that for the suspension control arm, the first and the second are only to distinguish the two possible setting conditions of the specified suspension control arm.

[0046] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic view of the bottom structure of a vehicle (only the structure related to the present application is shown) is shown, each wheel 30 of the vehicle is provided with a second suspension control arm 20, correspondingly, four wheels are provided with four second suspension control arms 20, and each second suspension control arm 20 is provided with a height sensor 10, and the connection relationship between each height sensor 10 and the second suspension control arm 10 is described in the above embodiments, which will not be described here.

[0047] For the convenience of understanding, the subsequent embodiments will be described taking the second suspension control arm as an example.

[0048] In some embodiments, in order to improve the accuracy of the roll angle and / or pitch angle determination, the above step 120 specifically comprises:

[0049] Step 121, obtaining a relationship curve between the theoretical voltage value of the height sensor and the theoretical wheel jump value.

[0050] The swing of the second suspension control arm is a concomitant phenomenon of the wheel jump of the corresponding wheel. Therefore, the voltage value of the height sensor also indirectly represents the wheel jump value of the corresponding wheel. In order to be able to determine the wheel jump value of the corresponding wheel based on the voltage value, the vehicle can obtain the relationship curve between the theoretical voltage value of the height sensor and the theoretical wheel jump value.

[0051] For different height sensors, the accuracy of each height sensor is different due to the structural differences between them, and accordingly, the relationship curve corresponding to each height sensor is also different. In order to accurately determine the wheel jump value of the wheel, the vehicle can first obtain the relationship curve corresponding to the height sensor.

[0052] It can be understood that if the height sensors corresponding to each second suspension control arm are the same, there is only one relationship curve; but if the height sensors corresponding to each second suspension control arm are different, there are at least two relationship curves.

[0053] For example, the second suspension control arm corresponding to the left front wheel and the second suspension control arm corresponding to the right front wheel are provided with one kind of height sensor; the second suspension control arm corresponding to the left rear wheel and the second suspension control arm corresponding to the right rear wheel are provided with another kind of height sensor, then the relationship curves of the two kinds of height sensors can be obtained respectively, and the two relationship curves are respectively corresponding to the two kinds of height sensors, so as to subsequently determine the wheel jump value with higher accuracy based on the corresponding height sensor.

[0054] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 a relationship curve between the theoretical voltage of a height sensor and the theoretical wheel jump value is shown. Wherein, the positive and negative of the wheel jump value of a certain wheel respectively represent two kinds of jumps of the wheel; when the wheel jump value is positive, it means that the wheel jumps up; when the wheel jump value is negative, it means that the wheel jumps down.

[0055] Step 122, determining the wheel jump value of the wheel corresponding to the specified suspension control arm based on the relationship curve and the voltage value.

[0056] After obtaining the relationship curve, the vehicle can find the wheel jump value corresponding to the voltage value in the relationship curve to obtain the wheel jump value of the wheel corresponding to the specified suspension control arm.

[0057] Specifically, in the case that the specified suspension control arm is the second suspension control arm, then four second suspension control arms can determine the wheel jump value of each wheel according to the voltage value of the corresponding height sensor. If the four wheels are distinguished, the second suspension control arms corresponding to the left front wheel, the right front wheel, the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel can be respectively recorded as suspension control arm 1, suspension control arm 2, suspension control arm 3 and suspension control arm 4; then the voltage values of the height sensors corresponding to each second suspension control arm can be recorded as U1, U2, U3 and U4 respectively; and the four wheel jump values determined based on the four voltage values can be recorded as S1, S2, S3 and S4 respectively.

[0058] Step 123, determine the roll angle and / or the pitch angle based on the wheel jump value and the positional relationship between the height sensors.

[0059] After determining the wheel jump value, the vehicle can determine the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle according to the motion characteristics between the wheels when the vehicle rolls and / or pitches. Specifically, the motion characteristics between the wheels when the vehicle rolls and / or pitches can be characterized by the positional relationship between the height sensors, that is, the roll angle and / or the pitch angle of the vehicle can be determined according to the wheel jump value and the positional relationship between the height sensors.

[0060] The positional relationship between the height sensors can include a first distance, a second distance, a third distance and a fourth distance; the first distance is the distance between the first straight rod corresponding to the left front wheel and the second straight rod corresponding to the right front wheel; the second distance is the distance between the third straight rod corresponding to the left rear wheel and the fourth straight rod corresponding to the right rear wheel; the third distance is the distance between the second suspension control arm corresponding to the left front wheel and the second suspension control arm corresponding to the left rear wheel; and the fourth distance is the distance between the second suspension control arm corresponding to the right front wheel and the second suspension control arm corresponding to the right rear wheel.

[0061] Specifically, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the vehicle bottom structure is shown, in which L1 is the first distance, L2 is the second distance, L3 is the third distance, and L4 is the fourth distance.

[0062] In some embodiments, the roll angle can be determined by the following steps:

[0063] Step A1, determine the first roll angle of the vehicle based on the first wheel jump value of the left front wheel of the vehicle, the second wheel jump value of the right front wheel and the first distance.

[0064] When the vehicle is in roll, the wheels on the left and right sides of the vehicle behave as one side jumps down and the other side jumps up. Specifically, in the case of the vehicle rolling to the left, the left front wheel and the left rear wheel behave as jumping down, and the right front wheel and the right rear wheel behave as jumping up; similarly, in the case of the vehicle rolling to the right, the left front wheel and the left rear wheel behave as jumping up, and the right front wheel and the right rear wheel behave as jumping down. That is, for the wheels belonging to the same left side or the same right side, when the vehicle is in roll, the wheel jump value directions and the wheel jump values of the two wheels should be the same in theory; based on this, the roll angle can be determined only by the left front wheel and the right front wheel.

[0065] But in actual application scenarios, the vehicle may be affected by factors such as uneven road surface, small obstacles, and potholes, so that the wheel jump values of the two wheels on the same side are different. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the determination of the roll angle, the vehicle can first determine the roll angle of the front side of the suspension according to the first wheel jump value of the left front wheel, the second wheel jump value of the right front wheel, and the first distance, that is, the first roll angle.

[0066] Referring to Figure 6 , Figure 6 a first roll angle is shown in an angle diagram from the perspective of the vehicle. As can be seen from Figure 6 , the calculation formula of the first roll angle may be where S1 is the first wheel jump value, S2 is the second wheel jump value, and L1 is the first distance.

[0067] Step A2, determining a second roll angle of the vehicle based on a third wheel jump value of a left rear wheel of the vehicle, a fourth wheel jump value of a right rear wheel of the vehicle, and a second distance.

[0068] Similarly to step A1, the vehicle can determine the roll angle of the rear side of the suspension according to the third wheel jump value of the left rear wheel, the fourth wheel jump value of the right rear wheel, and the second distance, that is, the second roll angle. The second roll angle can be denoted as Specifically, the calculation formula of the second roll angle may be where S3 is the third wheel jump value, S4 is the fourth wheel jump value, and L2 is the second distance.

[0069] Step A3, calculating the average of the first roll angle and the second roll angle, and determining the average as the value of the roll angle.

[0070] Assuming the vehicle body is rigid, the roll angle at the center of gravity can be determined geometrically and thus defined as the vehicle's roll angle. However, considering that the center of gravity changes when the positions of occupants and luggage change, this embodiment uses the roll angle at the suspension center point to assess the degree of vehicle roll. Specifically, the roll angle at the suspension center point can be denoted as... roll angle The calculation formula can be

[0071] This embodiment determines the vehicle's roll angle based on the suspension center point, which can reduce the change in roll angle caused by changes in the vehicle's center of gravity position, thereby improving the accuracy of roll angle determination.

[0072] In some embodiments, the pitch angle can be determined by the following steps:

[0073] Step B1: Determine the first pitch angle of the vehicle based on the first wheel bounce value of the left front wheel, the third wheel bounce value of the left rear wheel, and the third distance.

[0074] When a vehicle tilts, the wheels on one side bounce upwards and the other side bounces downwards. Specifically, during a vehicle's "braking dive," the left and right front wheels bounce downwards, while the left and right rear wheels bounce upwards; similarly, during a vehicle's "acceleration lift," the left and right front wheels bounce upwards, while the left and right rear wheels bounce downwards. That is, theoretically, for both front and rear wheels, when the vehicle tilts, the wheel bounce values ​​and directions should be the same; based on this, the tilt angle can be determined using only the left front and left rear wheels.

[0075] Similar to determining the roll angle, in real-world applications, vehicles may be affected by various factors, causing differences in wheel hop values ​​between the front and rear wheels on the same side. Therefore, to improve the accuracy of the roll angle determination, the vehicle can first determine the roll angle on the left side of the suspension, i.e., the first roll angle, based on the first wheel hop value of the left front wheel, the third wheel hop value of the left rear wheel, and the third distance. This first roll angle is denoted as θ1, and its calculation formula is as follows: Where S1 is the jump value of the first round, S3 is the jump value of the third round, and L3 is the third distance.

[0076] Step B2: Determine the second pitch angle of the vehicle based on the second wheel hop value of the right front wheel, the fourth wheel hop value of the right rear wheel, and the fourth distance.

[0077] As step B1, the vehicle can determine the roll angle of the left side of the suspension according to the second wheel jump value of the right front wheel, the fourth wheel jump value of the right rear wheel and the fourth distance, that is, the second roll angle. The second roll angle can be denoted as θ2, and the calculation formula of the first roll angle denoted as θ2 can be wherein S2 is the second wheel jump value, S4 is the fourth wheel jump value, and L4 is the fourth distance.

[0078] Step B3, calculating the average of the first roll angle and the second roll angle, and determining the average as the value of the roll angle.

[0079] Similar to the calculation of the roll angle, the roll angle of the suspension center point can also be used to evaluate the roll degree of the vehicle. Specifically, the roll angle of the suspension center point can be denoted as θ, and the calculation formula of the roll angle θ can be θ=(θ1+θ2) / 2.

[0080] The embodiment determines the roll angle of the vehicle based on the suspension center point, which can reduce the change of the roll angle caused by the change of the mass center position of the vehicle, thereby improving the accuracy of the roll angle determination.

[0081] It can be understood that after the roll angle and / or the roll angle are determined, the vehicle can control the vehicle based on the data, for example, control the suspension damping or the motor torque, to ensure the driving safety and improve the comfort of the ride.

[0082] In some embodiments, the vehicle can be controlled by the following steps:

[0083] Step C1, determining the roll direction and / or the roll direction of the vehicle based on the wheel jump value of each wheel.

[0084] In the above steps, only the size of the roll angle and / or the size of the roll angle of the vehicle is determined, and the roll direction and / or the roll direction of the vehicle can be determined by the wheel jump value of each wheel. Still taking the wheel jump values S1, S2, S3 and S4 as an example for illustration:

[0085] For the roll direction: when S1, S3 are negative and S2, S4 are positive, it can be determined that the vehicle has rolled to the left; on the contrary, when S1, S3 are positive and S2, S4 are negative, it can be determined that the vehicle has rolled to the right;

[0086] For the roll direction: when S1, S2 are positive and S3, S4 are negative, it can be determined that the vehicle has rolled forward; on the contrary, when S1, S2 are negative and S3, S4 are positive, it can be determined that the vehicle has rolled backward.

[0087] Step C2, controlling the suspension damping of the vehicle based on the roll angle and the roll direction to reduce the roll amount of the vehicle; and / or, controlling the suspension damping of the vehicle based on the roll angle and the roll direction to reduce the roll amount of the vehicle.

[0088] After determining the roll direction, the vehicle can control the suspension damping of the vehicle according to the roll angle and the roll direction, so as to reduce the roll amount. For example, when the vehicle rolls to the left, the roll direction is the left side, and then the vehicle can increase the suspension damping of the left side, or reduce the suspension damping of the right side, so as to reduce the roll amount of the vehicle. Of course, the vehicle can also increase the suspension damping of the left side while reducing the suspension damping of the right side, so as to quickly reduce the roll amount of the vehicle.

[0089] After determining the roll direction, the vehicle can control the suspension damping of the vehicle according to the roll angle and the roll direction, so as to reduce the roll amount. For example, when the vehicle rolls to the left, the roll direction is the left side, and then the vehicle can increase the suspension damping of the left side, or reduce the suspension damping of the right side, so as to reduce the roll amount of the vehicle. Of course, the vehicle can also increase the suspension damping of the left side while reducing the suspension damping of the right side, so as to quickly reduce the roll amount of the vehicle.

[0090] It should be understood that the size of the serial number of each step in the above embodiment does not mean the order of execution, and the execution order of each process should be determined according to its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
