[0040] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electric vehicle door anti-collision device in the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the electric vehicle door anti-collision device may include: a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a housing module 1002, a power supply and clock module 1003, a communication module 1004, and a memory 1005. The power supply and clock module 1003 is used to connect and start the entire system. The communication module 1004 may include standard wired and wireless interfaces. Wireless interfaces may include Wireless-Fidelity (WI-FI) interfaces. Wired interfaces may include Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART), Controller Area Network (CAN) interfaces, and LEN interfaces. The memory 1005 may be high-speed random access memory (RAM) or stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk storage device. Optionally, the memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0043] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the electric vehicle door anti-collision device, and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the memory 1005, which serves as a storage medium, may include an operating system, a data storage module, a control logic program, and an electric vehicle door anti-collision program.

[0045] exist Figure 1 In the electric vehicle door anti-collision device shown, the communication module 1004 is mainly used for data communication with the vehicle; the processor 1001 and memory 1005 in the electric vehicle door anti-collision device of the present invention can be set in the electric vehicle door anti-collision device. The electric vehicle door anti-collision device calls the electric vehicle door anti-collision program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001 and executes the electric vehicle door anti-collision method provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] This invention provides a method for preventing collisions with electric vehicle doors, referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the electric vehicle door anti-collision method of the present invention.

[0047] In this embodiment, the electric vehicle door anti-collision method includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S10: During the opening process of the electric vehicle door, obstacle detection is performed based on the opening range of the electric vehicle door to obtain the first position information of the obstacle.

[0049] It should be noted that the executing entity of the method in this embodiment can be an in-vehicle device with object detection, network communication, and program execution functions, such as an electric door anti-collision device; it can also be other automotive electronic control devices with the same or similar functions, or an intelligent vehicle equipped with such automotive electronic control devices. This embodiment and the following embodiments will use an electric door anti-collision device as an example to illustrate the electric door anti-collision method of the present invention.

[0050] Understandably, during the opening process of an electric door, the area centered on the door hinge and with the longer of the upper and lower edges of the door as the radius can be detected as the openable range. Obstacles can include both stationary and moving objects.

[0051] It should be noted that the first position information of the obstacle can be the distance and angle of the obstacle relative to the electric vehicle door, or it can be the distance and angle of the detection point.

[0052] Furthermore, to more accurately detect obstacles prone to collision, a detection range can be preset. Obstacles exceeding this range are not included in subsequent calculations and analyses, which can further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of calculating the opening angle. Therefore, step S10 includes: the opening range is defined by the electric vehicle door and a plane extending beyond the door at preset distances in all directions as the detection plane, and the detection plane is opened from the closed position to the range traversed by the original opening angle, wherein the original opening angle is the opening angle without considering the influence of obstacles.

[0053] It should be understood that the opening range can be measured using the electric door anti-collision system and the planes extending beyond the electric door anti-collision system at preset distances in all directions as the detection plane. For example, to more accurately detect obstacles prone to collision, the preset distances extending beyond the door in all directions can be set to 10cm. The detection plane is then moved from the closed position of the electric door to the range traversed by the original opening angle. The original opening angle of the electric door anti-collision system is the opening angle without considering the influence of obstacles, i.e., the maximum opening angle of the door determined at the factory.

[0054] Step S20: Determine the second position information of the obstacle relative to a preset reference point based on the first position information, wherein the preset reference point is the preset position of the door hinge of the electric vehicle door.

[0055] It's worth noting that the first position information can be relative to the electric door or a detection point. While the detection point's location facilitates obstacle detection, a location relative to the detection point might not be convenient for calculating the door's opening angle and remaining openable angle. Therefore, a reference point can be set to facilitate subsequent calculations of the obstacle's position and remaining openable angle. The highest or lowest point of the electric door's hinge can be used as a preset reference point. Based on this, the first position information can be converted into position information relative to the preset reference point for easier subsequent calculations.

[0056] Step S30: Determine the remaining openable angle of the electric vehicle door based on the second position information and the current opening degree of the electric vehicle door.

[0057] Understandably, the first vertical distance of the obstacle relative to the car door and the second vertical distance relative to the door hinge can be determined based on the second position information. Then, the third vertical distance between the vertical point of the obstacle relative to the car door and the door hinge can be obtained. Finally, the angle between the obstacle and the car door can be calculated from the first vertical distance, the second vertical distance and the third vertical distance to obtain the remaining openable angle.

[0058] Step S40: Control the electric vehicle door to continue opening according to the remaining openable angle.

[0059] Understandably, the door controller installed in the car can receive the remaining open angle and control the motor's operation based on that angle. When the motor's operating angle reaches the same as the remaining open angle, the motor stops, and the door stops, thus preventing the door from colliding with obstacles.

[0060] In this embodiment, during the opening process of the electric door, obstacle detection is performed based on the door's openable range to obtain the first position information of the obstacle. Based on the first position information, a second position information of the obstacle relative to a preset reference point is determined, where the preset reference point is the preset position of the door hinge. Based on the second position information and the current opening degree of the electric door, the remaining openable angle of the electric door is determined. The electric door is then controlled to continue opening based on the remaining openable angle. Because this embodiment detects obstacles during the opening process, determines the obstacle's position relative to the preset position of the door hinge, and determines the remaining openable angle based on the position information and the current opening degree of the electric door, and then controls the electric door to continue opening, it can accurately locate the obstacle's position, improving the effectiveness of collision avoidance.

[0061] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the electric vehicle door anti-collision method of the present invention.

[0062] Furthermore, to measure the position of obstacles more accurately and conveniently, detection equipment can be installed at a convenient location on the vehicle door. By utilizing the multiple pieces of information detected by the equipment, the accuracy of the obstacle's position and angle can be improved. Therefore, based on the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, step S10 includes:

[0063] S101: The first position information is the position information of the obstacle relative to the detection device. The first position information includes the straight-line distance, orientation, horizontal angle and speed information of the obstacle relative to the detection device.

[0064] It is understood that the obstacle detection equipment can be radar equipment, such as ultrasonic radar or millimeter-wave radar. This application uses millimeter-wave radar as an example. Because millimeter-wave radar has a large beam, small blind zone, can operate in all weather conditions, has stable distance detection, high detection sensitivity, and low power consumption, and uses MIMO antennas in both pitch and azimuth directions, it has low angular resolution but high accuracy. Therefore, it can accurately measure the distance, azimuth, horizontal angle, and speed of obstacles, and can more accurately calculate the relationship between the obstacle and the door opening angle, effectively improving the effectiveness of door collision avoidance.

[0065] It should be understood that the detection equipment can be installed outside the car door in a location that facilitates the detection of obstacles, such as about 10cm from the bottom edge of the door or about 70cm from the door hinge, so that obstacles can be detected more promptly.

[0066] Furthermore, considering that the detection device may not be installed at a fixed position on the door, making it inconvenient to calculate the remaining openable angle of the electric door based on the position of the obstacle relative to the detection device, the first position information can be converted into second position information relative to a preset reference point. Therefore, step S20 includes: determining the position coordinate information of the detection device based on the preset reference point; determining the second position information of the obstacle relative to the preset reference point based on the position coordinate information and the first position information, wherein the second position information is the coordinate information of the obstacle relative to the preset reference point.

[0067] Understandably, to more accurately mark the positions of detection equipment and obstacles, a coordinate system can be established using a preset reference point as the origin. Here, the lowest point of the door hinge can be selected as the origin to establish the coordinate system, as shown in the reference. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the coordinate system established in the electric vehicle door anti-collision method of the present invention. The Y-axis can be a direction extending horizontally towards the rear of the vehicle from the origin when the door is closed; the X-axis can be a direction extending outwards from the origin perpendicular to the plane when the door is closed; and the Z-axis can be a direction extending upwards from the origin perpendicular to the XY plane. Therefore, the coordinates of the detection device can be marked as (x1, y1, z1). If the length of the door is Rcm, then the coordinates of the bottom rear of the door are (0, R, 0).

[0068] Understandably, the detection equipment emits electromagnetic waves and processes the received echo signals to obtain primary point information of the obstacle. This information includes the obstacle's distance, orientation, pitch, speed, amplitude, etc. The primary point data is then aggregated and preprocessed. Using the detection equipment as the origin, the coordinates (x`, y`, z`) of the obstacle relative to the detection equipment are obtained, which is the first position information. Then, combined with the coordinates of the detection equipment (x1, y1, z1), the coordinates of the obstacle are converted into coordinates (x, y, z) relative to the coordinate origin, which is the second position information.

[0069] Accordingly, if the door height is H, the openable range can be defined by X and Y values ​​within the range of (0, R+10cm), with the X value within the range of (-5cm, H+10cm). This openable range is used as the alarm trajectory for obstacle detection. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the process of determining the alarm trajectory in the electric vehicle door anti-collision method of the present invention. The distance beyond the door is considered a transition zone, and the area beyond the transition zone does not affect the opening of the door; therefore, it can be excluded from the alarm zone, further improving the effectiveness of the anti-collision method.

[0070] Furthermore, determining the remaining openable angle based on the angle between the obstacle and the door hinge can further improve the accuracy of the openable angle and more effectively prevent door collisions. Therefore, step S30 includes: determining the angle between the obstacle and the plane when the electric door is closed based on the second position information; determining the remaining openable angle of the electric door based on the angle and the current opening degree of the electric door, wherein the remaining openable angle is the difference between the angle and the current opening degree.

[0071] It should be understood that the azimuth angle relative to the origin can be determined based on the coordinate information of the obstacle's second position. Since the obstacle may be large and irregularly shaped, the angle of the minimum azimuth angle between the obstacle and the origin can be used as the angle between the obstacle and the plane (i.e., the plane formed by the Y-axis and Z-axis) when the electric door is closed. If this angle is 60° and the current opening degree of the door is 30°, then the remaining openable angle of the electric door is 60° - 30°, i.e., 30°.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first position information is the position information of the obstacle relative to the detection device. The first position information includes the straight-line distance, orientation, horizontal angle and speed information of the obstacle relative to the detection device, so as to more accurately and conveniently measure the position of the obstacle.

[0073] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a flowchart illustrating the third embodiment of the electric vehicle door anti-collision method of the present invention.

[0074] Furthermore, by updating the remaining openable angle in real time based on the door opening information, and controlling the electric door to continue opening based on the updated openable angle, the problem of door collision can be more effectively prevented. Therefore, based on the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, step S40 includes:

[0075] S401: Update the remaining openable angle according to the opening angular velocity of the electric door, the second position information and the real-time opening degree of the electric door, and control the electric door to continue opening according to the updated openable angle.

[0076] It should be understood that during the opening of a car door, the current opening angle, the remaining openable angle, and the position of obstacles may change in real time. Therefore, the remaining openable angle can be updated in real time. The system can acquire the current opening angle of the door, the opening angular velocity of the door, and the position information of obstacles in real time, calculate the remaining openable angle of the door, filter the openable door angle, obtain the remaining openable angle after filtering, and send the data to the door domain controller. The door domain controller controls the operation of the motor based on the remaining openable angle. When the motor's rotation angle reaches the same as the remaining openable angle, the motor stops, and the door stops, thus assisting in door opening and preventing collisions.

[0077] Furthermore, considering potential errors in calculating the remaining openable angle, to improve the collision avoidance effect and safety when the door is open, the door can be stopped from opening further when it is within a preset danger distance from the obstacle, thus reducing the error fluctuation of the remaining openable angle. Therefore, before step S40, the method further includes: determining the vertical distance of the obstacle relative to the electric door based on the second position information and the current opening degree; and controlling the electric door to stop opening when the vertical distance is less than or equal to the preset danger distance.

[0078] It is worth noting that, since there may be errors in calculating the remaining openable angle, in order to improve the anti-collision effect when the door is open, the vertical distance of the obstacle relative to the electric door can be determined based on the second position information and the current opening degree. When the vertical distance is less than or equal to the preset danger distance, for example, when the vertical distance is less than or equal to 10cm, the remaining openable angle can be directly set to 0°, and the door domain controller can control the electric door to stop opening.

[0079] In this embodiment, the remaining openable angle is updated based on the opening angular velocity of the electric door, the second position information, and the real-time opening degree of the electric door. The electric door is then controlled to continue opening based on the updated openable angle, thereby more effectively preventing door collisions.

[0080] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also proposes a storage medium storing an electric vehicle door anti-collision program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the electric vehicle door anti-collision method described above.
