Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to a vehicle door lock control system and a control method. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing safety requirements of the China-New Car Assessment Programme (C-NCAP), ensuring timely and accurate door unlocking after a collision has become a key challenge in automotive electrical system development. Currently, most vehicles utilize an airbag controller to sense the collision and then signal the body controller to unlock the door. However, severe collisions, such as those involving an MPDB (Moving Progressive Deformable Barrier) barrier, can cause a power outage in the power supply system, prematurely powering down the body controller and preventing door unlocking.

[0003] Power outages in the power supply system are mainly caused by short circuits and breaks in the wiring harnesses and cables. If the body controller loses power before receiving an airbag unlock request, the door locks cannot be unlocked.

[0004] Existing technical solutions optimize the signal transmission time from the airbag controller to the body controller, allowing the body controller to unlock before the power system loses power. However, in rear-wheel drive electric vehicles, the front cabin has fewer components, and a collision within 50ms can damage the fuse box. The signal transmission time from the airbag controller to the body controller is much longer than this.

[0005] Therefore, there is a risk that the door locks of the car in the prior art cannot be opened when a collision occurs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the risk in the prior art that the door locks of a car cannot be opened when a collision occurs.

[0007] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a vehicle door lock control system for controlling the operation of a locking mechanism of a vehicle door, comprising a main unlocking control circuit and a collision unlocking control circuit; the main unlocking control circuit and the collision unlocking control circuit are connected in parallel to the signal input end of the locking mechanism; wherein,

[0008] An unlocking control unit is provided in the collision unlocking control circuit, and the unlocking control unit includes a control module, a detection module and a drive control module. The detection module is used to detect the driving status information of the car, and the signal output end of the detection module is connected to the chip pin of the control module to send the driving status information to the control module. The signal output end of the control module is connected to the drive control module, and the drive control module is communicatively connected with the lock mechanism. The control module obtains the collision information of the car according to the received driving status information, and controls the drive control module according to the collision information to control the action of the lock mechanism. When the collision information indicates that the car has collided, the control module controls the lock mechanism to unlock by controlling the drive control module. When the collision information indicates that the car has not collided, the lock mechanism is not unlocked.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the door lock control system of this embodiment is provided with an unlocking control unit, which includes a control module, a detection module and a drive control module. The detection module can directly detect the collision information of the car, and the control module can control the drive control module according to the collision information to change the state of the lock mechanism. Especially when the car collides, the detection module can quickly transmit the detected information directly to the control module, and the control module directly controls the lock mechanism to unlock through the drive control module. This process is not affected by the on-off of the airbag controller wiring harness circuit and the main unlocking control circuit, and can save a lot of time compared to the main unlocking control circuit, thereby reducing the risk of the door lock failing to open when the car collides.

[0010] In addition, the door lock control system in this embodiment has two parallel main unlocking control circuits and collision unlocking control circuits. The on and off of one circuit will not interfere with the other circuit. It can be seen that when the car collides, if the main unlocking control circuit wiring harness fails, the door lock mechanism can be automatically unlocked through the collision unlocking control circuit. This can ensure that the passengers in the car can escape to the outside of the car in time when an accident occurs, providing the passengers with sufficient escape time.

[0011] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle door lock control system is provided, wherein the main unlocking control circuit includes a battery, a fuse box, and a body controller connected in series, wherein the body controller is communicatively connected to a signal input terminal of the lock mechanism;

[0012] The connection terminals of the unlocking control unit are electrically connected to the connection terminals of the battery.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, this embodiment can conveniently power the unlocking control unit by connecting it to the battery, and can conveniently install the unlocking control unit on the car without modifying other wiring harnesses of the car.

[0018] A plug-in is provided on the frame, and a signal output end of the control module is communicatively connected with the locking mechanism via the plug-in.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, this embodiment can make it easier to connect the unlocking control unit with the battery, lock mechanism and other components of the car by arranging the positive electrode clamp, the negative electrode clamp and the plug-in on the frame.

[0020] In addition, in the event of a collision, the frame moves with the battery as a whole, and the control module, detection module and drive control module in the frame are not easily squeezed.

[0021] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a door lock control system is provided.

[0022] The unlocking control unit also includes an integrated circuit; the drive control module is configured as a control switch; wherein the control switch is electrically connected to the integrated circuit, and the control switch is communicatively connected to the lock mechanism, the signal output end of the control module is communicatively connected to the control switch, and the control module controls the lock mechanism to unlock or lock through the control switch according to the collision information.

[0023] With the above technical solution, since the power supply of the drive control module is directly connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery through the positive and negative pole clamps on the frame, the power supply of the control switch during the collision process can be effectively guaranteed.

[0024] According to a vehicle door lock control system provided in another embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking control unit further integrates a basic chip, an external crystal oscillator and a CAN transceiver.

[0025] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle door lock control method, wherein the vehicle door lock control method applies the vehicle door lock control system of the above structure, and comprises the following steps:

[0026] Step S1: the detection module detects the driving state information of the vehicle during driving and sends the driving state information to the control module;

[0027] Step S2: the control module determines whether the vehicle has collided according to the driving state information;

[0028] If yes, go to step S3;

[0029] If not, proceed to step S4;

[0030] Step S3: the control module controls the lock mechanism to unlock by controlling the drive control module;

[0031] Step S4: the control module controls the locking mechanism not to unlock, and the main unlocking control circuit controls the action of the locking mechanism.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the door lock control method of this embodiment can directly detect the collision information of the car through the detection module, and the control module can control the state of the lock mechanism according to the collision information. Especially when the car collides, the detection module can quickly transmit the detected information directly to the control module, and the control module directly controls the drive control module to control the lock mechanism to unlock. This process is not affected by the connection and disconnection of the airbag controller wiring harness and other wiring harnesses, thereby reducing the risk of the door lock failing to open when the car collides.

[0033] According to another embodiment of the present invention, in the vehicle door lock control method, in step S1, the detection module detects acceleration information of the vehicle during driving and sends the acceleration information to the control module;

[0034] In step S2, the control module determines whether the car has collided based on the acceleration information, wherein:

[0035] When the acceleration information is less than or equal to the acceleration threshold, the control module determines that the vehicle has collided and proceeds to step S3;

[0036] When the acceleration information is greater than the acceleration threshold, the control module determines that the vehicle has not collided and proceeds to step S4.

[0037] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle door lock control method is provided.

[0038] The step S2 further includes:

[0039] Step S21: When the control module determines that a collision occurs with the vehicle, the control module controls the drive control module to cut off power after a time threshold.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, when the control module determines that the car has collided, the control module controls the drive control module to cut off the power after the time threshold, which can not only ensure a certain period of power supply for unlocking, but also avoid fire caused by line short circuit and endanger the safety of passengers.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, an unlocking control unit 210 is provided in the collision unlocking control circuit 200. The unlocking control unit 210 includes a control module 211, a detection module 212 and a drive control module.

The control module 211 sends the driving state information to the control module 211. The signal output end of the control module 211 is connected to the drive control module. The chip pins of the drive control module are connected. The drive control module is communicatively connected with the lock mechanism 300. The control module 211 obtains the collision information of the vehicle based on the received driving state information, and controls the drive control module based on the collision information to control the action of the lock mechanism 300. When the collision information indicates that the vehicle has collided, the control module 211 controls the drive control module to unlock the lock mechanism 300.
