[0048] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the application and not to limit the application.

[0049] REFERENCE Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device related to a hardware running environment of an embodiment scheme of the application;

[0050] As Figure 1 shown, the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device can include a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. The communication bus 1002 is used to realize the connection communication between the components. The user interface 1003 can include a display, an input unit such as a keyboard, and can also include a standard wired interface, a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 can optionally include a standard wired interface, a wireless interface (such as a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The memory 1005 can be a high-speed random access memory (RAM), and can also be a stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk memory. The memory 1005 can also be an independent storage system from the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0051] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 the structure shown in the above description does not constitute a limitation on the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device, and can include more or fewer components than the illustrated components, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, the memory 1005 as a storage medium can include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a pedestrian protection active hood ignition control program.

[0053] In Figure 1 the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device, the network interface 1004 is mainly used for data communication with a network server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used for data interaction with a user; the processor 1001 and the memory 1005 in the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device can be arranged in the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device, and the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device calls the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001, and executes the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0054] The embodiment of the present application provides a pedestrian protection active hood ignition control method, which refers to Figure 2 , Figure 2 the flowchart of the first embodiment of the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control method of the present application.

[0055] The pedestrian protection active hood ignition control method in the embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0056] Step S10: Upon receiving the collision signal, determine the impact area according to the collision signal, wherein the impact area comprises a grille lamp area and a non-grille lamp area.

[0057] It is easy to understand that the execution subject of the embodiment can be a pedestrian protection active hood ignition control device with functions of data processing, network communication, program running, etc., or other computer devices with similar functions, and the embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0058] It should be noted that the airbag controller (ACU) in the vehicle receives the pressure signal of the pedestrian protection pressure tube sensor, the acceleration signal of the pedestrian protection acceleration sensor, and the impact area signal corresponding to the camera, and performs a series of ignition logic algorithm calculation according to the pressure signal, the acceleration signal, and the impact area signal, and outputs the ignition instruction and the ignition current to the active hood. The pedestrian protection pressure tube sensor is a tubular air pressure sensor arranged between the front bumper energy-absorbing block and the bumper beam, which can sense and output the pressure signal; the pedestrian protection acceleration sensor is arranged on the front bumper skin, which can sense and output the acceleration signal; the camera inputs to the airbag controller, which is used for area identification; the active hood is a hood with a top support that can be lifted, and the top support lifts the hood after ignition.

[0059] It should also be understood that a camera is arranged at the center of the top end of the vehicle, and the camera is calibrated in real vehicle through experiments to ensure the accuracy of the area identification of the camera. The ACU receives the area identification signal of the camera, and accurately sets the ignition threshold according to the signal for different impact areas, thereby realizing the accurate control of different areas.

[0060] Further, before determining the impact area according to the collision signal upon receiving the collision signal, the pressure signal corresponding to the row protection pressure tube sensor, the acceleration signal corresponding to the row protection acceleration sensor, and the impact area signal corresponding to the camera are also needed, and then the collision signal is generated according to the pressure signal, the acceleration signal, and the impact area signal.

[0061] When the ACU identifies a sensor or camera failure, it also needs to light up the airbag warning light, etc.

[0062] The collision signal comprises the pressure signal, the acceleration signal, and the impact area signal, and then the collision signal needs to be sent to the airbag controller for processing, etc.

[0063] It should also be noted that the front section of the vehicle is divided into two areas in advance, namely the grille lamp area and the non-grille lamp area.

[0064] Further, the processing manner for determining the impact area according to the collision signal is extracting an impact area signal from the collision signal, and then determining the impact area according to the impact area signal, judging whether the impact area is in the first preset area, and determining the impact area as the grating lamp area when the impact area is in the first preset area; and judging whether the impact area is in the second preset area when the impact area is not in the first preset area, and determining the impact area as the non-grating lamp area if yes.

[0065] The impact area being in the first preset area can be understood as the impact area being completely in the first preset area, and the first preset area being the grating lamp area; and the impact area being in the second preset area can be understood as the impact area being completely in the second preset area, and the second preset area being the non-grating lamp area.

[0066] It should also be understood that when the impact area is not in the first preset area or the second preset area, it is judged whether the impact area is in the third preset area, and when the impact area is in the third preset area, the proportion of the impact area in the grating area corresponding to the grating area and the proportion of the impact area in the non-grating area are determined, and the impact area is determined as the grating area when the proportion of the grating area is greater than or equal to the proportion of the non-grating area, and the impact area is determined as the non-grating area when the proportion of the grating area is less than the proportion of the non-grating area.

[0067] It should be noted that the third preset area includes part of the first preset area and part of the second preset area, and the third preset area includes the boundary line between the grating area and the non-grating area.

[0068] In the present embodiment, when the impact object is completely located in the grating lamp area, the camera determines and sends that the impact area is the grating area A; when the impact object is completely located in the non-grating lamp area, the camera determines and sends that the impact area is the non-grating lamp area B; when the impact object is not identified, the camera determines and sends that no target is found; and when the impact object appears at the boundary of the A area and the B area, the proportion of the width of the object in the A area and the B area is judged, and if the proportion of the A area is high, it is judged and sent that the impact area is the A area, and if the proportion of the B area is high, it is judged and sent that the impact area is the B area, etc.

[0069] Step S20: determining vehicle collision information according to the collision signal and the impact area.

[0070] In the present embodiment, the vehicle collision information can be pedestrian collision, and can also be animal collision, and the processing flow of the pedestrian collision and the processing flow of the animal collision are consistent.

[0071] In specific implementation, the vehicle collision information can be identified according to the pressure signal, the acceleration signal and the impact area signal.

[0072] Further, the ACU performs pedestrian protection active hood non-ignition control according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information when detecting that the vehicle collision information is a non-living collision.

[0073] Step S30: When the vehicle collision information is a pedestrian collision, it is determined whether the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area.

[0074] It should be noted that the impact area is different, and the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area is also different. For reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 The area collision ignition threshold curve diagram of the first embodiment of the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control method of the application is shown in the figure. The preset ignition condition corresponding to the grid area is that the signal strength value corresponding to the collision signal is less than or equal to the preset threshold value. The preset ignition condition corresponding to the non-grid area is that the signal strength value corresponding to the collision signal is greater than the preset threshold value.

[0075] Further, when the vehicle collision information is a pedestrian collision, the processing mode of determining whether the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area is that when the vehicle collision information is a pedestrian collision or an animal collision, the pressure signal and the acceleration signal are extracted from the collision signal, the signal strength value is generated according to the pressure signal and the acceleration signal, and it is determined whether the signal strength value meets the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area.

[0076] Step S40: When the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area, pedestrian protection active hood ignition control is performed according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information.

[0077] It should also be noted that when the collision signal does not meet the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area, pedestrian protection active hood non-ignition control is performed according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the collision signal is received, the impact area is first determined according to the collision signal, the impact area includes the grid lamp area and the non-grid lamp area, then the vehicle collision information is determined according to the collision signal and the impact area, when the vehicle collision information is a pedestrian collision, it is determined whether the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition of the impact area, and when the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition of the impact area, pedestrian protection active hood ignition control is then performed according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information. In the prior art, the impact position cannot be identified, and the same speed of different positions of impact can only set the same ignition threshold. In this embodiment, the impact area is identified according to the collision signal, and then the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control is performed according to the preset ignition condition of the impact area, so as to avoid the problems of impact non-explosion and false explosion.

[0079] For reference Figure 4 ,Figure 4 Flowchart of the second embodiment of the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control method of the present application.

[0080] Based on the first embodiment, in the present embodiment, the step S10 further comprises:

[0081] Step S101: Upon receiving the collision signal, extracting the impact area signal from the collision signal.

[0082] In the present embodiment, the vehicle collision information can be pedestrian collision, and can also be animal collision, wherein the processing flow of pedestrian collision is consistent with that of animal collision.

[0083] The collision signal includes pressure signal, acceleration signal and impact area signal, and then needs to be sent to the airbag controller for processing, etc.

[0084] Step S102: determining the impact area according to the impact area signal.

[0085] It should be noted that the front section of the vehicle is divided into two areas, namely the grille lamp area and the non-grille lamp area. The ACU can identify the impact area according to the impact area signal.

[0086] Step S103: determining whether the impact area is in the first preset area.

[0087] It can be understood that the first preset area is the grille lamp area.

[0088] Step S104: when the impact area is in the first preset area, determining that the impact area is the grille lamp area.

[0089] In a specific implementation, the impact area being in the first preset area can be understood as the impact area being completely in the first preset area, and then determining that the impact area is the grille lamp area.

[0090] Step S105: when the impact area is not in the first preset area, determining whether the impact area is in the second preset area.

[0091] The impact area being in the second preset area can be understood as the impact area being completely in the second preset area, and the second preset area is the non-grille lamp area.

[0092] Step S106: if yes, determining that the impact area is the non-grille lamp area.

[0093] It should also be understood that when the impact area is not in the first preset area or the second preset area, it is judged whether the impact area is in the third preset area, when the impact area is in the third preset area, it is determined that the impact area is in the grid area corresponding to the grid area ratio and the impact area is in the non-grid area ratio, when the grid area ratio is greater than or equal to the non-grid area ratio, the impact area is the grid area, and when the grid area ratio is less than the non-grid area ratio, the impact area is the non-grid area.

[0094] It should be noted that the third preset area includes part of the first preset area and part of the second preset area, wherein the third preset area includes the boundary line of the grid area and the non-grid area.

[0095] In the present embodiment, when the impact object is completely located in the grid lamp area, the camera determines and sends that the impact area is the grid area A; when the impact object is completely located in the non-grid lamp area, the camera determines and sends that the impact area is the non-grid lamp area B; when the impact object is not identified, the camera determines and sends that no target is found; when the impact object appears at the boundary of A and B, the width of the object in A and B is judged, if A is high, it is judged and sent that the impact area is A, if B is high, it is judged and sent that the impact area is B, etc.

[0096] In the present embodiment, when the impact signal is received, the impact area signal is extracted from the impact signal, and then the impact area is determined according to the impact area signal, it is judged whether the impact area is in the first preset area, when the impact area is in the first preset area, it is determined that the impact area is the grid lamp area; when the impact area is not in the first preset area, it is judged whether the impact area is in the second preset area, if yes, it is determined that the impact area is the non-grid lamp area, the impact area is not divided in the prior art, and the impact area signal collected by the camera is used to accurately set the ignition threshold of different impact areas in the present embodiment, thereby realizing regional accurate control.

[0097] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The structure block diagram of the first embodiment of the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control system of the present application is shown in the figure.

[0098] As Figure 5 shown, the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control system of the present application comprises:

[0099] The receiving module 5001 is used for determining the impact area according to the impact signal when the impact signal is received, and the impact area includes the grid lamp area and the non-grid lamp area.

[0100] It should be noted that the airbag controller (ACU) in the vehicle receives the pressure signal of the pedestrian protection pressure tube sensor, the acceleration signal of the pedestrian protection acceleration sensor and the impact area signal corresponding to the camera, and performs a series of ignition logic algorithm calculation according to the pressure signal, the acceleration signal and the impact area signal, and outputs the ignition instruction and the ignition current to the active hood. The pedestrian protection pressure tube sensor is a tubular air pressure sensor arranged between the front bumper energy absorption block and the bumper beam, which can sense and output the pressure signal; the pedestrian protection acceleration sensor is arranged on the front bumper skin, which can sense and output the acceleration signal; the camera inputs to the airbag controller, which is used for area identification; the active hood is a hood with a top support that can be lifted after the top support is ignited.

[0101] It should also be understood that a camera is arranged at the center of the top end of the vehicle, which is calibrated by test in the real vehicle to ensure the accuracy of the area identification of the camera. The ACU receives the area identification signal of the camera, and accurately sets the ignition threshold according to the signal for different impact areas, so as to realize the accurate control of different areas.

[0102] Further, before determining the impact area according to the collision signal, the pressure signal corresponding to the row protection pressure tube sensor, the acceleration signal corresponding to the row protection acceleration sensor and the impact area signal corresponding to the camera are also needed to be obtained, and then the collision signal is generated according to the pressure signal, the acceleration signal and the impact area signal.

[0103] When the ACU identifies the failure of the sensor or the camera, it also needs to light up the airbag warning light and the like.

[0104] The collision signal includes the pressure signal, the acceleration signal and the impact area signal, and then the collision signal needs to be sent to the airbag controller for processing and the like.

[0105] It should be noted that the front section of the vehicle is divided into two areas in advance, which are the grille lamp area and the non-grille lamp area.

[0106] Further, the processing method for determining the impact area according to the collision signal is to extract the impact area signal from the collision signal, and then determine the impact area according to the impact area signal, judge whether the impact area is in the first preset area, if the impact area is in the first preset area, determine that the impact area is the grille lamp area; if the impact area is not in the first preset area, judge whether the impact area is in the second preset area, if yes, determine that the impact area is the non-grille lamp area.

[0107] The impact area being in the first preset area can be understood as the impact area being completely in the first preset area, and the first preset area is the grid lamp area. The impact area being in the second preset area can be understood as the impact area being completely in the second preset area, and the second preset area is the non-grid lamp area.

[0108] It should also be understood that when the impact area is not in the first preset area or the second preset area, it is determined whether the impact area is in the third preset area. When the impact area is in the third preset area, it is determined that the impact area is in the grid area corresponding to the grid area ratio and the impact area is in the non-grid area ratio. When the grid area ratio is greater than or equal to the non-grid area ratio, the impact area is the grid area. When the grid area ratio is less than the non-grid area ratio, the impact area is the non-grid area.

[0109] It should be noted that the third preset area includes part of the first preset area and part of the second preset area, and the third preset area includes the boundary line between the grid area and the non-grid area.

[0110] In the embodiment, when the impact object is completely located in the grid lamp area, the camera determines and sends that the impact area is the grid area A. When the impact object is completely located in the non-grid lamp area, the camera determines and sends that the impact area is the non-grid lamp area B. When the impact object is not identified, the camera determines and sends that no target is found. When the impact object appears at the boundary between the A area and the B area, the width of the object in the A area and the B area is determined, and if the A area ratio is high, it is determined and sent that the impact area is the A area. If the B area ratio is high, it is determined and sent that the impact area is the B area, and so on.

[0111] The determination module 5002 is configured to determine vehicle collision information according to the collision signal and the impact area.

[0112] In the embodiment, the vehicle collision information can be pedestrian collision, and can also be animal collision. The processing flow of the pedestrian collision is consistent with the processing flow of the animal collision.

[0113] Further, when the ACU detects that the vehicle collision information is non-living collision, the ACU performs pedestrian protection active hood no-fire control according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information.

[0114] In a specific implementation, the vehicle collision information can be identified according to the pressure signal, the acceleration signal, and the impact area signal.

[0115] The determination module 5003 is configured to determine whether the collision signal satisfies a preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area when the vehicle collision information is pedestrian collision.

[0116] It should be noted that the impact area is different, and the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area is also different, for example Figure 3 , Figure 3 The area collision ignition threshold curve diagram of the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control method of the first embodiment of the application is shown in the figure. The preset ignition condition corresponding to the grid area is that the signal strength value corresponding to the collision signal is less than or equal to the preset threshold value. The preset ignition condition corresponding to the non-grid area is that the signal strength value corresponding to the collision signal is greater than the preset threshold value.

[0117] Further, when the vehicle collision information is a pedestrian collision, the processing manner of judging whether the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area is that when the vehicle collision information is a pedestrian collision or an animal collision, the pressure signal and the acceleration signal are extracted from the collision signal, the signal strength value is generated according to the pressure signal and the acceleration signal, and it is judged whether the signal strength value meets the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area.

[0118] The control module 5004 is configured to perform pedestrian protection active hood ignition control according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information when the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area.

[0119] It should be further noted that when the collision signal does not meet the preset ignition condition corresponding to the impact area, the pedestrian protection active hood non-ignition control is performed according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information.

[0120] In this embodiment, when the collision signal is received, the impact area is first determined according to the collision signal, the impact area includes the grid lamp area and the non-grid lamp area, then the vehicle collision information is determined according to the collision signal and the impact area, when the vehicle collision information is a pedestrian collision, it is judged whether the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition of the impact area, when the collision signal meets the preset ignition condition of the impact area, then the pedestrian protection active hood ignition control is performed according to the collision signal and the vehicle collision information. In the prior art, the impact position cannot be identified, and the same speed of different positions of impact can only set the same ignition threshold.
