Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method, system and vehicle for controlling the position of a vehicle window, and more particularly to a method, system and vehicle for controlling the position of a vehicle window based on ripple anti-pinch technology. Background Technology
[0002] When controlling car windows, if the window position is not corrected due to errors, the windows may frequently fail to close automatically or accidentally trigger the anti-pinch mechanism, causing great inconvenience to users and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method, system and vehicle for controlling the position of a vehicle window based on ripple anti-pinch technology. The technical problem to be solved is to detect in real time whether there is an abnormal working condition of the current position of the vehicle window or whether the window motor is stuck, and to take different corresponding strategies to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0004] This invention provides the following solution:
[0005] A method for controlling the position of a vehicle window based on ripple-induced anti-pinch features, specifically including:
[0006] During the automatic raising or lowering of the car window, the system detects in real time whether there are any abnormal conditions at the current position of the window and determines whether the window has been raised to the top or lowered to the bottom.
[0007] Receives commands for raising and lowering the windows and / or commands for automatic raising and lowering the vehicle body controller;
[0008] Depending on whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom, the window raising / lowering strategy and / or window position correction are executed in conjunction with the window opening / closing command and / or the automatic raising / lowering command from the body control.
[0009] Furthermore, the real-time detection of whether there are abnormal working conditions at the current position of the window during the automatic raising or lowering process also includes: detecting whether the window motor is stuck; if there is a ripple signal, the window position data will no longer be updated.
[0010] Furthermore, depending on whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom, the window raising / lowering strategy and / or window position correction are executed in conjunction with the window switch raising / lowering command and / or the body controller automatic raising / lowering command, specifically as follows:
[0011] If an abnormal condition is detected in the window position during the automatic window raising process, the current window position information will not be stored and the automatic window raising will be stopped.
[0012] The window position correction includes an automatic learning process: it learns automatically via CAN network signals. When it receives the CAN network automatic window raising command, it first lowers the window to the bottom to perform bottom position correction. The bottom position is set to the correct bottom position learned last time. Then it executes the automatic raising command, which has an anti-pinch function. It continues until it is raised to the top, and then the top position is corrected. If the top position is correct, the automatic window raising and anti-pinch functions are restored.
[0013] Furthermore, if no abnormal conditions are detected in the window position during the automatic window raising process, the current window position information is stored.
[0014] Furthermore, depending on whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom, the window raising / lowering strategy and / or window position correction are executed in conjunction with the window switch raising / lowering command and / or the body controller automatic raising / lowering command, specifically as follows:
[0015] If, during the automatic window descent process, the window has already reached the bottom and an abnormal window position is detected, the current position is not stored, the automatic window descent is stopped, and the window descent strategy is executed and / or window position correction is performed according to the automatic window descent control command or the window controller command.
[0016] If no abnormal conditions are detected at the window position, the location information is collected and stored according to the actual position of the window.
[0017] Furthermore, if the window fails to descend to the bottom during the automatic window descent process, an abnormal window position is detected. The window position data is then forcibly recorded as the previously learned bottom position, and the window descent strategy is executed according to the automatic window descent command or the window controller descent command. Alternatively, if no abnormal window position is detected, the window position information is collected and stored according to the actual window position.
[0018] A vehicle window position control system based on ripple anti-pinch mechanism, specifically comprising:
[0019] The abnormal working condition detection module for car windows is used to detect in real time whether there are any abnormal working conditions at the current position of the car window during the automatic raising or lowering process.
[0020] The window position detection module is used to determine whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom.
[0021] The window lifting command receiving module is used to receive window opening and closing commands and / or automatic lifting commands from the vehicle body controller;
[0022] Depending on whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom, the window opening and closing commands and / or the automatic opening and closing commands from the vehicle body controller are combined;
[0023] The window lifting strategy / window position correction module is used to execute the window lifting strategy and / or perform window position correction.
[0024] An electronic device is characterized in that it comprises: a processor, a communication interface, a memory, and a communication bus, wherein the processor, the communication interface, and the memory communicate with each other through the communication bus; the memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor performs the steps of the method.
[0025] A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program executable by an electronic device, which, when run on the electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform the steps of the method.
[0026] A vehicle, specifically comprising:
[0027] An electronic device for implementing the method described;
[0028] A processor that runs a program, which, when the program is running, performs the steps of the method in response to data output from the electronic device;
[0029] A storage medium for storing a program that, when run, executes the steps of the method in response to data output from an electronic device.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0031] This invention detects in real time whether there are any abnormal conditions in the current position of the car window during the automatic raising or lowering process, and executes the window raising and lowering strategy and / or performs window position correction based on the actual situation of whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom.

[0038] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device. Detailed Implementation
[0039] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] like Figure 1 The illustrated method flow for window position control based on ripple anti-pinch technology specifically includes:
[0041] Step S1: During the automatic raising or lowering of the car window, detect in real time whether there are any abnormal conditions at the current position of the car window, and determine whether the car window has been raised to the top or lowered to the bottom.
[0042] Specifically, this also includes: detecting whether the window motor is stuck; if a ripple signal is present, the window position data will not be updated.
[0043] Step S2: Receive window switch lifting command and / or automatic lifting command from the body control module (BCM);
[0044] Step S3: Depending on whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom, the window raising / lowering strategy and / or window position correction are executed based on the window opening / closing command and / or the body control module (BCM) automatic raising / lowering command. The calculation results obtained through the body control module or other onboard equipment determine the specific position of the window and whether it is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom.
[0045] For example, the specific position of the car window can be determined based on the calculation results of whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom.
[0046] Specifically, if an abnormal condition is detected in the window position during the automatic window raising process, the current window position information will not be stored, and the automatic window raising will be stopped.
[0047] The window position correction includes an automatic learning process: it learns automatically via CAN network signals. When it receives the CAN network automatic window raising command, it first lowers the window to the bottom to perform bottom position correction. The bottom position is set to the correct bottom position learned last time. Then it executes the automatic raising command, which has an anti-pinch function. It continues until it is raised to the top, and then the top position is corrected. If the top position is correct, the automatic window raising and anti-pinch functions are restored.
[0048] Specifically, if no abnormal conditions are detected in the window position during the automatic window raising process, the current window position information is stored.
[0049] For example, if the window is raised to the top and the window position information is normal: the window position information is set to 0 and stored; if the window is not raised to the top and the window position information is normal: the current position is stored and the automatic raising and lowering function is normal.
[0050] Specifically, if the window has already reached the bottom during automatic window descent and an abnormal window position is detected, the current position is not stored, automatic window descent is stopped, and the window descent strategy is executed and / or window position correction is performed according to the automatic window descent command or the window controller's descent command, or:
[0051] If no abnormal conditions are detected at the window position, the location information is collected and stored according to the actual position of the window.
[0052] Specifically, if the window fails to descend to the bottom during the automatic window descent process, an abnormal window position is detected. The window position data is then forcibly recorded as the previously learned bottom position. The window descent strategy is then executed according to the automatic window descent command or the window controller descent command. Alternatively, if no abnormal window position is detected, the window position information is collected and stored according to the actual window position.
[0053] For the purpose of simplicity, the method steps disclosed in the above embodiments are described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the described order of actions, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily essential to the embodiments of the present invention.
[0054] Any flowchart or other description of a process or method can be understood as representing a module, segment, or portion of code comprising one or more executable instructions for implementing a particular logical function or process. Furthermore, the scope of preferred embodiments of the invention includes additional implementations in which functions may be performed and implemented not in the order shown or discussed, including substantially simultaneously or in reverse order according to the functions involved, or by executing computer instructions and implementing corresponding functions according to program structures such as loops, branches, etc., as will naturally be understood by those skilled in the art when practicing embodiments of the invention.
[0055] like Figure 2 The ripple-based anti-pinch window position control system shown specifically includes:
[0056] The abnormal working condition detection module for car windows is used to detect in real time whether there are any abnormal working conditions at the current position of the car window during the automatic raising or lowering process.
[0057] The window position detection module is used to determine whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom.
[0058] The window lifting command receiving module is used to receive window opening and closing commands and / or automatic lifting commands from the vehicle body controller;
[0059] Depending on whether the window is raised to the top or lowered to the bottom, the window opening and closing commands and / or the automatic raising and lowering commands of the body control module (BCM) are combined.
[0060] The window lifting strategy / window position correction module is used to execute the window lifting strategy and / or perform window position correction.
[0061] It is worth noting that although only some basic functional modules are disclosed in the embodiments of this invention, it does not mean that the composition of this system is limited to the above-mentioned basic functional modules. On the contrary, what this embodiment intends to express is that, based on the above-mentioned basic functional modules, those skilled in the art can arbitrarily add one or more functional modules in combination with existing technology to form an infinite number of embodiments or technical solutions. That is to say, this system is open rather than closed. The fact that this embodiment only discloses a few basic functional modules should not be considered as the scope of protection of the claims of this invention being limited to the disclosed basic functional modules. At the same time, for the convenience of description, the above device is described separately according to its functions as various units and modules. Of course, in implementing this invention, the functions of each unit and module can be implemented in one or more software and / or hardware.
[0062] The implementation methods of the system described above are merely illustrative. For example, the various functional modules, units, or subsystems within the system may or may not be physically separate, or they may or may not be physical units; that is, they may be located in the same place or distributed across multiple different systems and their subsystems or modules. Those skilled in the art can select some or all of the functional modules, units, or subsystems to achieve the objectives of the embodiments of the present invention according to actual needs. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement the above-described situations without any creative effort.
[0063] like Figure 3 The schematic diagram of this embodiment of the invention shown includes a switch, a door controller, and a body control module (BCM). Both the door controller and the BCM are connected to the vehicle's CAN bus. The door controller is connected to the window motor and the switch, which is grounded. As can be seen from the schematic diagram, the window raising and lowering function is one of the most frequently used functions of the vehicle. The window motor is driven by the door controller. The commands for raising and lowering the window come from the local switch and the CAN network. The CAN network commands include remote raising and lowering, voice-activated raising and lowering, and closing the window in rainy weather.
[0064] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, due to frequent use of car windows, the window position actually collected by the door controller after multiple window raising and lowering operations may deviate from the actual physical position. Therefore, the top position of the window is set to 0, and the bottom position is set according to calibration data. A tolerance range is also set based on the window's movement stroke. Considering that position errors may occur when the window is raising, lowering, or stalling, the window position storage strategy is optimized based on these operating conditions, as follows:
[0065] 1. When the window motor stalls and is restarted, if a ripple signal is generated, the window position data will not be updated.
[0066] 2. If the window position becomes abnormal during the automatic window raising process, causing the window to accidentally reverse or fail to close completely, the current window position data will be cleared immediately, suppressing the automatic window raising and anti-pinch functions. After the window relearns, the automatic raising and anti-pinch functions will be restored. At this time, the automatic lowering function will not be affected.
[0067] 3. If the window position is abnormal during the automatic lowering process, the window may not stop at the set position. In this case, the door controller will not record the current position, but will record the bottom position learned last time as the current position. At this time, the automatic raising and anti-pinch functions are normal.
[0068] 4. When the automatic window raising and anti-pinch functions are suppressed, they can be manually learned via a switch or automatically learned via CAN network signal. The automatic learning process is as follows: When the automatic window raising command is received from the CAN network, the window will first be lowered to the bottom to correct the bottom position. The bottom position will be set to the correct bottom position learned last time. Then the automatic raising will be executed, and the anti-pinch function will be enabled. The window will continue to rise until it reaches the top, and then the top position will be corrected. If the top position is correct, the automatic raising and anti-pinch functions will be restored.
[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also discloses an electronic device, a storage medium, and a vehicle corresponding to the ripple-based anti-pinch window position control method and system:
[0070] An electronic device includes: a processor, a communication interface, a memory, and a communication bus, wherein the processor, the communication interface, and the memory communicate with each other through the communication bus; the memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor performs the steps of a ripple-based anti-pinch window position control method.
