[0028] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, wherein the same or similar components are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals, and therefore repeated description is omitted. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and are not to be understood as limiting the present application.

[0029] A control method of a steering column stowage system, a control device of a steering column stowage system, a computer readable storage medium, and a steering column stowage system according to embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method of a steering column stowage system according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the control method of the steering column stowage system according to an embodiment of the present application can include the following steps:

[0032] S1, receiving and responding to a control instruction.

[0033] S2, determining the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel.

[0034] S3, controlling the steering column according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel.

[0035] Specifically, the steering column is connected with the steering wheel, and when the steering column is controlled, a control instruction can be first received and responded, for example, during the power-on process of the vehicle greeting mode, that is, when the driver opens the vehicle door, enters the vehicle and sits on the seat, the steering column can receive and respond to the control instruction of the greeting mode, and the steering column can be automatically unfolded from the storage state to unfold the steering wheel to a set position, thereby highlighting the ceremony and making the vehicle more advanced. For example, during the power-on process of the vehicle greeting mode, that is, when the vehicle is powered off and the user leaves the seat, the steering column can receive and respond to the control instruction of the greeting mode, and the steering column can be automatically stored from the unfolded state to store the steering wheel to a set position, thereby freeing up the internal space of the vehicle for the driver to get out of the vehicle, etc.

[0036] Whether in the process of the steering column from the storage state to the unfolded state or from the unfolded state to the storage state, in order to ensure that the surrounding parts are not touched during the unfolding or storage process, the positional relationship between the steering column and the steering wheel needs to be determined, that is, after receiving and responding to the control instruction, the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is determined, so that the steering column can be controlled according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel until the steering column is unfolded to the position required by the driver or the steering column is stored to the specified position. When the steering column is unfolded to the position required by the driver, it is confirmed that the driver can drive, wherein whether the steering column is unfolded to the position required by the driver can be determined by a position sensor, and if not, the vehicle can be prevented from driving, and the steering column can be controlled to continue to unfold until it is unfolded to the position required by the driver. When the steering column is unfolded to the storage to the specified position, such as whether the steering column is stored to the specified position according to the position sensor, the steering wheel steering column storage system can be controlled to be in a power-off state. In addition, when the steering column starts to be stored, it needs to be performed after the steering wheel is folded, and it is ensured that the steering wheel is in the center position.

[0037] Therefore, after receiving and responding to the control instruction, the steering column is controlled according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel, which can make the driver more convenient and comfortable when getting on or off the vehicle, and the surrounding parts will not be touched when the steering column is unfolded or stored.

[0038] The specific working process of the control method of the steering wheel steering column storage system of the present application will be described in detail below.

[0039] According to one embodiment of the present application, the steering column is controlled according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel, which includes: when the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, the steering column is controlled to be longitudinally unfolded or stored.

[0040] Specifically, when the steering column is controlled according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel, it is necessary to determine whether the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, and the steering column can be controlled to be longitudinally unfolded or stored only when the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, so as to prevent the steering column from touching surrounding parts during unfolding or storing.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present application, the steering column is controlled according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel, which comprises: controlling the steering column to move laterally until the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, when the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is not the center position of the steering wheel.

[0042] Specifically, when the steering column is controlled according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel, it is necessary to determine whether the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, and the steering column can be controlled to be longitudinally unfolded or stored only when the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, so as to prevent the steering column from touching surrounding parts during unfolding or storing.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present application, the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is determined by: obtaining the angle of the steering column relative to the steering wheel; and determining the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel according to the angle.

[0044] Specifically, in determining the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel, the angle of the steering column relative to the steering wheel can be obtained first, for example, an angle sensor can be arranged in the steering wheel, and the physical value of the corresponding angle sensor is zero when the steering wheel is in the center position. After determining the angle of the steering column relative to the steering wheel, the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel can be determined according to the angle, for example, when the angle of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is zero degrees, it can be determined that the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, and for example, when the angle of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is not zero degrees, it can be determined that the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is not the center position of the steering wheel, for example, when the angle value of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is positive, for example, the obtained angle is five degrees, it is determined that it is on the right side of the center position of the steering wheel, and for example, when the angle value of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is negative, for example, the obtained angle is minus five degrees, it is determined that it is on the left side of the center position of the steering wheel, so that the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel can be determined according to the angle.

[0045] According to one embodiment of the present application, the control method of the steering wheel and steering column storage system further comprises: if an abnormality of the steer-by-wire system and / or an abnormality of the automatic driving system is received when the vehicle is in an automatic driving mode, controlling the steering column to expand longitudinally.

[0046] Specifically, in the device steer-by-wire system and the vehicle with a storable steering wheel, in the scenario of advanced intelligent driving, the complete storage of the steering wheel can be realized, for example, when the driver uses the automatic driving function of the vehicle, the steering wheel of the vehicle can be stored by the steering column to a position below the instrument panel, etc., bringing more imagination space to the intelligent cabin, and realizing the true sense of full intelligent driving. However, in the case that the vehicle is in an automatic driving mode, if an abnormality of the steer-by-wire system is received, for example, a problem occurs in the controller for controlling the steering of the wheels in the steer-by-wire system, which cannot accurately realize the steering of the wheels, the steering column can be controlled to expand longitudinally, so that the driver can be ready to take over the steering wheel at any time, and the vehicle movement is controlled by the driver, avoiding traffic accidents.

[0047] In the case that the vehicle is in an automatic driving mode, if an abnormality of the automatic driving system is received, for example, when the vehicle is in automatic driving, the left and right movements of the vehicle can be determined by the cameras or radars on the left and right sides of the vehicle respectively, when the cameras or radars of the vehicle have a problem and cannot normally provide signals to the vehicle, in order to ensure the safety when driving the vehicle, the steering column can be controlled to expand longitudinally, so that the driver can be ready to take over the steering wheel at any time, and the vehicle movement is controlled by the driver, avoiding traffic accidents.

[0048] For example, in the case that the vehicle is in an automatic driving mode, if an abnormality occurs in the steer-by-wire system and an abnormality also occurs in the automatic driving system, for example, a controller in the steer-by-wire system is faulty, and a camera or radar of the vehicle is faulty and cannot normally provide a signal to the vehicle, and in order to ensure safety when driving the vehicle, the steering column can be controlled to expand longitudinally so that the driver can be ready to take over the steering wheel at any time, and the vehicle can be controlled by the driver to move to avoid a traffic accident.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present application, the control method of the steering wheel steering column storage system further comprises: detecting a first power supply signal of the steering wheel steering column storage system; in the case that the first power supply signal is abnormal, detecting a second power supply signal of the steering wheel steering column storage system, wherein the first power supply signal is provided by a main power supply of the vehicle, and the second power supply signal is provided by a backup power supply of the vehicle.

[0050] In order to avoid the failure of the steering wheel storage system to cause the driver to lose control of the steering wheel, and further cause the entire steering wheel steering column storage system to fail and affect the safe driving of the vehicle in the lateral movement, it is necessary to increase a safety fault-tolerant design in the steering column to improve the steering safety. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The steering wheel steering column storage system can adopt a redundant design of two power supplies to meet the fault-tolerant requirements of the system, for example, a first power supply signal can be provided by a main power supply of the vehicle, and a second power supply signal can be provided by a backup power supply of the vehicle. The first power supply signal of the steering wheel steering column storage system can be detected in real time, and when the first power supply signal is abnormal, for example, the line of the main power supply of the vehicle is damaged and the first power supply signal cannot be normally obtained, the second power supply signal of the steering wheel steering column storage system can be detected at this time to ensure the normal operation of the steering wheel steering column storage system.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present application, the control method of the steering wheel steering column storage system further comprises: detecting a first communication signal between the steering wheel steering column system and the steer-by-wire system; in the case that the first communication signal is abnormal, detecting a second communication signal between the steering wheel steering column system and the steer-by-wire system, wherein the first communication signal is provided by a main communication unit of the vehicle, and the second communication signal is provided by a backup communication unit of the vehicle.

[0052] In order to avoid the failure of the steering wheel storage system to cause the driver to lose control of the steering wheel, and further cause the entire steering wheel steering column storage system to fail and affect the safe driving of the vehicle in the lateral movement, it is necessary to increase a safety fault-tolerant design in the steering column to improve the steering safety. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the steering wheel steering column storage system can adopt a redundant design of two-way communication when communicating with the steer-by-wire system to meet the fault-tolerant requirements of the system. For example, a first communication signal can be provided by the main communication unit of the vehicle, and a second communication signal can be provided by the backup communication unit of the vehicle. The first communication signal between the steering wheel steering column system and the steer-by-wire system can be detected in real time. When the first communication signal is abnormal, for example, the main communication unit of the vehicle fails, and the first communication signal cannot be normally obtained. At this time, the second communication signal between the steering wheel steering column system and the steer-by-wire system can be detected to ensure normal communication between the steering wheel steering column system and the steer-by-wire system.

[0053] The control method of the steering wheel steering column storage system of the present application will be described below in conjunction with Figure 3

[0054] As a specific example, the control method of the steering wheel steering column storage system of the present application can include the following steps:

[0055] S101, receiving and responding to a control instruction.

[0056] S102, obtaining the angle of the steering column relative to the steering wheel.

[0057] S103, determining the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel according to the angle.

[0058] S104, determining whether the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel. If yes, step S105 is executed; if no, step S106 is executed.

[0059] S105, controlling the steering column to longitudinally expand or be stored.

[0060] S106, controlling the steering column to move laterally until the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is the center position of the steering wheel, and entering step S105.

[0061] In summary, according to the control method of the steering wheel steering column storage system of the present application, the control instruction is first received and responded to, then the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel is determined, and finally the steering column is controlled according to the position of the steering column relative to the steering wheel. Thus, the method can make it more convenient and comfortable for the driver to get on or off the vehicle, and the surrounding parts will not be touched when the steering column is expanded or stored. At the same time, a fault-tolerant design device for realizing the storage and expansion of the steering column is proposed in the high-order intelligent driving scenario.
