Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electric vehicle braking technology, and in particular to a control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium for a brake pedal assist mode. Background Technology

[0002] Based on user groups' requirements for automotive braking comfort, electric power-assisted braking systems have been widely used in various types of vehicles. In daily use, different drivers have different requirements for brake pedal force. Generally, male users have more strength and prefer a more sporty brake pedal assist mode, while female users have less strength and prefer a more comfortable mode with lighter brake pedal force.

[0003] In related technologies, to cater to users' comfort needs, there are multiple brake pedal assist modes. The selection of brake pedal assist modes can be defined in two ways:

[0004] The brake pedal assist mode is switched via the soft button, and is not related to the overall vehicle driving mode.

[0005] The brake pedal assist mode is automatically selected based on the vehicle's driving mode. When the driving mode is Sport, the brake pedal force is automatically set to Sport, and when the driving mode is Comfort, the brake pedal force is automatically set to Light.

[0006] While the above two methods can solve the problem of the lightness or heaviness of the brake pedal assist mode, they lack versatility and are not suitable for all users. When users want to adjust the brake pedal assist mode in a specific driving mode, they need to perform more complicated operations, which is not conducive to improving the user experience and needs to be improved.

[0015] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the interactive instructions include driving mode selection instructions, brake pedal assist mode selection instructions, and / or mode association instructions.

[0016] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the first control module includes: a parsing unit for parsing the interaction command; a first extraction unit for extracting the driving mode selection command and the mode association command from the interaction command; and a second extraction unit for extracting the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode from a preset association database, using the target driving mode as an index.

[0029] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0030] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium for controlling brake pedal assist modes according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the technical problem mentioned in the background section of the related art, where switching and adjusting brake pedal assist modes is difficult to balance between ease of operation and user personalization, thus hindering a better user experience, this application provides a method for controlling brake pedal assist modes. In this method, based on user interaction commands, it can determine whether the driving mode and brake pedal assist mode are associated. When they are associated, a coordinated switching between them is performed. When they are not associated, either the driving mode or the brake pedal assist mode can be switched according to user interaction commands. This ensures ease of operation while also catering to user personalization needs, increasing user comfort while driving. Therefore, this solves the technical problem in the related art where switching and adjusting brake pedal assist modes is difficult to balance between ease of operation and user personalization, thus hindering a better user experience.

[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a brake pedal assist mode provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method for this brake pedal assist mode includes the following steps:

[0033] In step S101, the user's interaction command is received, and it is determined whether the interaction command meets the preset mode association conditions.

[0034] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can obtain the user's interaction instructions through the interaction information between the user and the central control console, mobile terminal, in-vehicle hard switch, etc., and then determine whether the user's interaction instructions meet the preset mode association conditions.

[0035] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the interactive instructions include driving mode selection instructions, brake pedal assist mode selection instructions, and / or mode association instructions.

[0036] The user's interaction commands may include driving mode selection commands, brake pedal assist mode selection commands, and / or mode association commands. When the interaction command includes a mode association command, this embodiment of the application can determine that the interaction command meets the preset mode association conditions. When the interaction command does not include a mode association command, this embodiment of the application can determine that the interaction command does not meet the preset mode association conditions.

[0037] It should be noted that the associated command can be obtained based on the associated query results sent to the user after the user issues the driving mode selection command, or it can be obtained by the user triggering associated hard switches, soft switches, etc.

[0038] In step S102, if the interaction command meets the preset mode association conditions, then based on the interaction command, the vehicle is controlled to switch to the target driving mode, and at the same time, the vehicle is controlled to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode.

[0039] As one possible implementation, in this application embodiment, when the interactive command meets the preset mode association conditions, that is, when the interactive command includes both a driving mode selection command and a mode association command, this application embodiment can control the vehicle to switch to the target driving mode according to the driving mode selection command, and control the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode, thereby realizing the association switching of the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode without requiring the user to perform repeated operations, which is more convenient.

[0040] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, controlling the vehicle to switch to a brake pedal assist mode associated with a target driving mode includes: parsing an interaction command; extracting a driving mode selection command and a mode association command from the interaction command; and extracting the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode from a preset association database using the target driving mode as an index.

[0041] Specifically, in this application embodiment, the interactive instructions can be parsed first, and the driving mode selection instructions and mode association instructions can be extracted from the interactive instructions. The target driving mode in the driving mode selection instructions can be determined, and then the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode can be found in the preset association database using the target driving mode as the index.

[0042] It should be noted that the preset association database can be the vehicle's local database or a cloud database. The association relationships in the preset association database can be stored uniformly or separately for different user identities, so that users can customize the mapping relationship between driving modes and brake pedal assist modes. The specific settings can be made by those skilled in the art, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0043] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, before controlling the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode while controlling the vehicle to switch to the target driving mode based on interactive commands, the method further includes: obtaining the current driving parameters of the vehicle; determining whether the current driving parameters meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions; if the current driving parameters do not meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions, then while controlling the vehicle to switch to the target driving mode, monitoring the current driving parameters until the current driving parameters meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions, and then controlling the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode.

[0044] It is understandable that the requirements for vehicle driving parameters are different for switching driving modes and switching brake pedal assist mode. Switching brake pedal assist mode requires certain pedal force and vehicle speed. Therefore, this application embodiment can preset the conditions for switching brake pedal assist mode and determine whether the vehicle can switch to brake pedal assist mode based on the current driving parameters of the vehicle. For example, when the current vehicle speed is greater than 10km / h, this application embodiment can determine that the current driving parameters of the vehicle do not meet the preset conditions for switching brake pedal assist mode.

[0045] Furthermore, when the vehicle's current driving parameters do not meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions, this embodiment of the application can prioritize switching to the target driving mode and monitor the vehicle's current driving parameters in real time until the vehicle's current driving parameters meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions. Then, the vehicle is controlled to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode. For example, when the vehicle's current speed is less than or equal to 10 km / h, this embodiment of the application can control the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode after determining that the vehicle's current driving parameters meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions.

[0046] In step S103, if the preset mode association conditions are not met in the interaction command, the vehicle is controlled to switch to the target driving mode based on the interaction command, and / or the vehicle is controlled to switch to the brake pedal assist mode corresponding to the interaction command based on the interaction command.

[0047] In actual implementation, when the preset mode association conditions are not met in the interactive command, i.e. when the interactive command does not include the mode association command, the present application embodiment can control the vehicle to switch to the target driving mode based on the driving mode selection command, and / or control the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode corresponding to the interactive command based on the brake pedal assist mode selection command. This allows users to set the driving mode and brake pedal assist mode separately, avoiding unnecessary unbinding operations when the mapping relationship in the preset association database does not meet the user's needs. At the same time, it also facilitates personalized settings for users of public vehicles such as shared cars.

[0048] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: obtaining the vehicle's current driving mode and / or current brake pedal assist mode; determining, based on interactive commands, whether the vehicle's current driving mode and / or current brake pedal assist mode meet preset switching success conditions; and sending a failure reminder to the user if the preset switching success conditions are not met.

[0049] In some embodiments, the present application can obtain the current driving mode of the vehicle and compare the current driving mode with the target driving mode corresponding to the driving mode selection instruction in the interaction command. When the two are consistent, it can be determined that the current driving mode of the vehicle meets the preset successful switching conditions and a success reminder is sent to the user; otherwise, it can be determined that the current driving mode of the vehicle does not meet the preset successful switching conditions and a failure reminder is sent to the user, so that the user can promptly discover vehicle faults or readjust the driving mode.

[0050] This application embodiment can also obtain the current brake pedal assist mode, and based on the mode association command, compare the current driving mode with the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode, or compare the current driving mode with the brake pedal assist mode corresponding to the brake pedal assist mode selection command. When the two are consistent, it can be determined that the current brake pedal assist mode of the vehicle meets the preset successful switching conditions, and a success reminder is sent to the user; otherwise, it can be determined that the current brake pedal assist mode of the vehicle does not meet the preset successful switching conditions, and a failure reminder is sent to the user, so that the user can promptly detect vehicle faults or readjust the brake pedal assist mode.

[0051] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the working principle of the brake pedal assist mode control method of this application embodiment will be described in detail with reference to one embodiment.

[0052] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can be applied based on, for example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The framework shown enables signal transmission and control within the vehicle.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The framework shown may include: ICM (Instrument Cluster Module), DVD (Digital Video Disc), CGW (Central Gateway), IBS (Intelligent Building System), electric power-assisted braking module, and brake pedal feel module.

[0054] The ICM module can communicate with the CGW module via Body CAN (body bus, CAN (Controller Area Network)). The ICM module can send the driving mode selection signal to the CGW module via Body CAN to send the user-selected driving mode to the CGW module via Body CAN.

[0055] The DVD module can communicate with the CGW module via Infotainment CAN (Signal Entertainment Bus). The DVD module can send driving mode association signals and brake pedal assist mode selection signals to the CGW module via Infotainment CAN. This allows the CGW module to send the user's selected driving mode association and brake pedal assist mode selection signals to the CGW module via Infotainment CAN, thereby enabling personalized selection of driving mode association and brake pedal assist mode selection signals according to different user driving needs, improving driving personalization, increasing driving pleasure and safety.

[0056] The CGW module can communicate with the electric power-assisted braking module via Chassis CAN (chassis bus). The CGW module can receive control signals from the ICM module and DVD module via Chassis CAN and send the control signals to the IBS. The IBS can switch modes according to the received control signals. The IBS can determine the user's brake pedal assist mode requirements based on the received control signals and switch the brake pedal assist mode accordingly to provide the user with the required brake pedal assist mode.

[0057] After a successful switch to the boost mode, the IBS module can send the current boost mode signal status back to the DVD module via the CGW module. The DVD module can then display the received boost mode signal to confirm whether the user's settings were successful.

[0058] Specifically, the IBS can determine the user's needs based on the driving mode signal received from the ICM module and the driving mode association and brake pedal assist mode selection signal received from the DVD module, and provide the brake pedal assist mode requested by the user. The brake pedal assist mode can be the pedal force of sport mode or comfort mode provided by the IBS itself after determining the driving mode signal received from the ICM module and the driving mode association and electric assist braking mode selection signal received from the DVD module.

[0059] After successfully switching modes based on the received control signal commands, IBS sends the current assist mode signal status back to the DVD module. The DVD module then displays the received assist mode signal to confirm whether the user's settings were successful.

[0060] The electric power-assisted braking module can provide corresponding assistance to the brake pedal based on interactive commands.

[0061] The brake pedal feel module can be used to determine whether the vehicle's current driving parameters meet the preset conditions for switching brake pedal assist mode.

[0062] In this embodiment, the selection of the brake pedal assist mode can follow the overall vehicle driving mode without requiring manual switching by the user, thus achieving automatic following of the driving mode. At the same time, the user can also set the overall vehicle driving mode to be unrelated, thereby achieving that the electric assist braking mode does not automatically follow the driving mode, meeting the personalized choices of customers. It can meet the brake pedal force selection requirements of different drivers with multiple modes and needs, improve braking comfort, and enhance the user experience.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the ICM module may also be provided with an E / S hard button, wherein the E / S hard button is used to switch between sport and comfort driving modes; the DVD module may also be provided with a mode association button, wherein the mode association button may be a virtual button or a hard button; the mode association may include a "yes" option and a "no" option, and the brake pedal assist mode button may include a "sport" option and a "comfort" option, so as to facilitate users to make personalized selections, define the user's preferred driving mode and brake pedal assist mode, and improve the user's user experience and driving pleasure.

[0064] In this embodiment, the driving mode signal can be a periodic signal. The ICM module can continuously send the current driving mode selection status to the IBS. For example, if the user selects the sport driving mode, the signal will continuously send the sport mode signal periodically. The mode association signal and brake pedal assist mode selection signal sent by the DVD module can be event-type signals. When the user makes a selection, the DVD module will send a preset number of event-type signals (such as 3 times) to the IBS. The IBS can make a judgment and execute the command.

[0065] It's important to note that event-based signals are only emitted upon triggering. The signal is emitted when the user clicks the mode association button and selects the corresponding brake pedal assist mode. If the IBS fails to meet the conditions within a preset number of event-based signal transmissions, the IBS must memorize the previously received control signal until the conditions are met before performing the switching operation.

[0066] Understandably, the switching conditions for driving mode and brake pedal assist mode are different. Switching to brake pedal assist mode has certain requirements for pedal force and vehicle speed, such as 36-53N at 0.3g and a vehicle speed of ≤10km / h. If these conditions are not met, the driving mode will switch successfully, while the brake pedal assist mode will wait until the conditions are met before switching. Therefore, it is necessary to set the pedal force and vehicle speed for switching brake pedal assist mode to provide users with sufficient setting convenience.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, after switching between driving mode and / or brake pedal assist mode, it can determine whether the switching was successful and provide corresponding feedback.

[0068] For example, when the mode association button selects the "Yes" option, the DVD module determines the driving mode status of the E / S hard button and sends the driving mode signal to the IBS. The IBS receives the driving mode signal and provides feedback:

[0069] When IBS determines that the preset switching success conditions are met, IBS sends a feedback signal to the DVD module after the switching is successful. The DVD module determines that the feedback signal is consistent with the sent signal, completes the switching and displays the result.

[0070] When the EPS module determines that the preset switching success conditions are not met, the IBS sends a feedback signal to the DVD module. The DVD module determines that there is a difference between the feedback signal and the sent signal, and continues to send a switching signal to the IBS until the switching is successful.

[0071] When the mode association button is selected as "No", the DVD module can send the assist mode signal to the IBS, and the IBS receives the assist mode signal and provides feedback:

[0072] When IBS determines that the preset switching success conditions are met, IBS sends a feedback signal to the DVD module after the switching is successful, and the DVD module then displays the result.

[0073] When IBS determines that the preset conditions for successful switching are not met, IBS sends a feedback signal to the DVD module, which then displays a message to inform the user that the switching was unsuccessful.

[0074] The brake pedal assist mode control method proposed in this application can determine whether the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode are associated based on the user's interaction commands. When the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode are associated, a linkage switch between the two modes is performed. When the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode are not associated, the corresponding driving mode switch or brake pedal assist mode switch can be performed according to the user's interaction commands. This ensures ease of operation while also catering to the user's personalized needs, increasing the user's driving comfort. Therefore, it solves the technical problem in related technologies where it is difficult to balance ease of operation and user personalization when adjusting the brake pedal assist mode, which is detrimental to improving the user experience.

[0075] Next, the control device for brake pedal assist mode according to an embodiment of this application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] Figure 4 This is a block diagram of the control device for the brake pedal assist mode according to an embodiment of this application.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, the control device 10 for the brake pedal assist mode includes: a receiving module 100, a first control module 200, and a second control module 300.

[0078] Specifically, the receiving module 100 is used to receive the user's interaction command and determine whether the interaction command meets the preset mode association conditions.

[0079] The first control module 200 is used to control the vehicle to switch to the target driving mode based on the interaction command when the interaction command meets the preset mode association conditions, and at the same time control the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode.

[0080] The second control module 300 is used to control the vehicle to switch to the target driving mode based on the interaction command when the preset mode association conditions are not met in the interaction command, and / or control the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode corresponding to the interaction command based on the interaction command.

[0081] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the interactive instructions include driving mode selection instructions, brake pedal assist mode selection instructions, and / or mode association instructions.

[0082] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the first control module 200 includes: a parsing unit, a first extraction unit, and a second extraction unit.

[0083] The parsing unit is used to parse interactive instructions.

[0084] The first extraction unit is used to extract driving mode selection instructions and mode association instructions from the interactive instructions.

[0085] The second extraction unit is used to extract the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode from a preset associated database, using the target driving mode as an index.

[0086] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the first control module 200 further includes: an acquisition unit, a judgment unit, and a control unit.

[0087] The acquisition unit is used to acquire the vehicle's current driving parameters.

[0088] The judgment unit is used to determine whether the current driving parameters meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions.

[0089] The control unit is used to control the vehicle to switch to the target driving mode when the current driving parameters do not meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions, while monitoring the current driving parameters until the current driving parameters meet the preset brake pedal assist mode switching conditions, and then controlling the vehicle to switch to the brake pedal assist mode associated with the target driving mode.

[0090] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the control device 10 for the brake pedal assist mode further includes an acquisition module and a reminder module.

[0091] The acquisition module is used to acquire the vehicle's current driving mode and / or current brake pedal assist mode.

[0092] The reminder module is used to determine whether the vehicle's current driving mode and / or current brake pedal assist mode meet the preset switching success conditions based on interactive commands, and to send a failure reminder to the user if the preset switching success conditions are not met.

[0093] It should be noted that the explanation of the control method embodiment for the brake pedal assist mode described above also applies to the control device for the brake pedal assist mode of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0094] The brake pedal assist mode control device proposed in this application can determine whether the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode are associated based on the user's interactive commands. When the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode are associated, the device performs a linked switching between the two modes. When the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode are not associated, the device can switch between the driving mode and the brake pedal assist mode according to the user's interactive commands. This ensures ease of operation while also catering to the user's personalized needs, increasing the user's driving comfort. Therefore, it solves the technical problem in related technologies where it is difficult to balance ease of operation and user personalization when adjusting the brake pedal assist mode, which is detrimental to improving the user experience.
