[0029] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0032] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a vehicle center of gravity adjustment device. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of a vehicle center of gravity adjustment device according to an embodiment of this application. The device is mounted on the lower body assembly 110 of the vehicle, and its positional relationship with the vehicle tires 120 is shown in the figure. The device includes:

[0033] The moving track group 130 extends along a predefined center of gravity adjustment direction;

[0034] Gravity block 140 can move along the center of gravity adjustment direction on the moving track group to adjust the center of gravity of the vehicle.

[0035] The drive module is used to drive the gravity block to move according to the received drive command;

[0036] The control module is used to send the drive commands to the drive module.

[0037] In one embodiment, the drive module can be mounted on the gravity block 140 or on the moving track group 130. In fact, the drive module is used to drive the gravity block 140 to move on the moving track group 130, and the specific structural form is not limited in this application.

[0038] In one embodiment, the control module can receive information from the on-board computer. Based on the received information from the on-board computer, it determines the current operating condition of the vehicle and the location where the gravity block 130 needs to be moved, thereby instructing the drive module to drive the gravity block to move to the required location. Therefore, this application does not limit the specific structural form of the control module.

[0039] In one embodiment, the predefined center-of-gravity adjustment direction can be at least one of the following: the vehicle's X-direction, the vehicle's Y-direction, and the diagonal direction of the angle between the X and Y directions. As shown in the figure, the vehicle's X-direction refers to the length direction of the vehicle, i.e., from the rear to the front; the vehicle's Y-direction refers to the width direction of the vehicle, i.e., from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat; the diagonal direction of the angle between the X and Y directions refers to the direction indicated by the vehicle's diagonal, i.e., from the front left to the rear right, and from the front right to the rear left. Further, the predefined center-of-gravity adjustment direction can also be a combination of the X-direction, Y-direction, and diagonal direction, for example... Figure 1 The center of gravity of the moving track group shown is adjusted in the X and Y directions.

[0040] In one embodiment, the moving track group can be structurally in the form of a groove or a fixed sliding rod. When the moving track group is a groove, a gravity block can be placed in the groove, and the center of gravity can be adjusted by sliding in the groove; when the moving track group is a sliding rod, a gravity block can be fitted onto the sliding rod, and the center of gravity can be adjusted by sliding on the sliding rod.

[0041] In one embodiment, a slot can be provided at a preset position on the moving track group 140 to fix the gravity block in the preset position. Different distances the gravity block moves along the same direction on the moving track group will cause different degrees of adjustment to the center of gravity. Therefore, by providing a slot on the moving track group, the distance the gravity block moves along the moving track group can be flexibly adjusted, thereby flexibly adjusting the center of gravity and avoiding overcorrection of the center of gravity adjustment.

[0042] In one embodiment, the mass of the gravity block 140 is related to the mass of the vehicle. Different vehicle weights require different gravity blocks to effectively change the vehicle's center of gravity through the movement of the gravity blocks. Testing can determine the mass of the gravity block that achieves the optimal center of gravity adjustment effect.

[0043] In one embodiment, the gravity block may include multiple sub-gravity blocks. By driving the sub-gravity blocks to move on the moving track array, the vehicle's center of gravity can be adjusted more flexibly and accurately. Figure 1 As shown, the gravity block 140 is divided into 30 sub-gravity blocks by a group of moving tracks set along the X direction and a group of moving tracks set along the Y direction. Through the control of the drive module, any sub-gravity block can be adjusted and moved to any moving track.

[0044] This application does not impose any restrictions on the materials or shapes of the moving track group and gravity blocks; the materials and shapes of the moving track group and gravity blocks can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0045] The vehicle center of gravity adjustment device proposed in this application allows gravity blocks to move under control along a series of moving tracks, thereby positioning the gravity blocks at different locations on the vehicle and adjusting the vehicle's center of gravity. This adjustment is particularly useful in situations where the vehicle's center of gravity shifts, preventing loss of control due to this shift. Proper adjustment of the center of gravity better ensures vehicle safety and avoids dangerous situations such as rollovers and falls caused by center of gravity shifts.

[0046] In one embodiment, the mobile track group includes: an X-direction mobile track group deployed along the X direction of the vehicle and a Y-direction mobile track group deployed along the Y direction of the vehicle. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this allows the gravity block to move in the X and Y directions of the vehicle, thereby adjusting the vehicle's center of gravity in all directions, including forward, backward, left, and right.

[0047] In one embodiment, the gravity block comprises multiple sub-gravity blocks. By moving these sub-gravity blocks to movement tracks in the X and Y directions, the vehicle's center of gravity can be adjusted diagonally. A sub-gravity block moving forward in the X direction shifts the vehicle's center of gravity forward, while a sub-gravity block moving to the right in the Y direction shifts the vehicle's center of gravity to the right. Therefore, when the multiple sub-gravity blocks move forward in the X direction and to the right in the Y direction, the vehicle's center of gravity can shift to the right front.

[0048] In one embodiment, the moving track group includes multiple moving tracks, and the gravity block includes multiple sub-gravity blocks segmented within the multiple moving tracks. The control module is further configured to: upon receiving an adjustment command, select a target sub-gravity block and control the target sub-gravity block to move within the corresponding moving track, wherein the target sub-gravity block includes some or all of the sub-gravity blocks. The control module can select some or all of the multiple sub-gravity blocks, and then, as needed, instruct the target sub-gravity block to move along the moving track group in a target direction, so as to cause an appropriate shift in the vehicle's center of gravity towards the target direction, thereby adjusting the vehicle's center of gravity to avoid dangers caused by the shift in the vehicle's center of gravity under certain operating conditions.

[0049] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structural hierarchy of a vehicle center of gravity adjustment device in a vehicle, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle includes a driver and passenger compartment 210, a gravity block layer 230 containing the vehicle center of gravity adjustment device proposed in this application, and a power source device layer 250.

[0050] In one embodiment, the power source device can be a vehicle battery layer. Positioning the vehicle battery layer at the bottom of the vehicle hierarchy, with all power-required facilities above it, ensures that the current output from the battery layer flows upwards along the conductor direction, facilitating the collection and arrangement of wires and reducing unnecessary branching. Furthermore, placing the battery layer at the bottom of the vehicle hierarchy, away from the passenger compartment, prevents the heat and noise from the battery from affecting occupants, ensuring they are unaware of the battery layer and reducing noise and heat interference, thus providing a better driving and riding experience.

[0051] In one embodiment, the device further includes: providing a sound-absorbing and heat-insulating layer 220 between the device and the passenger compartment 210; and / or providing a heat-insulating and fire-resistant layer 240 between the device and the vehicle's power source device. Since the gravity block may generate heat and noise during its movement, to prevent discomfort to occupants in the passenger compartment 210, a sound-absorbing and heat-insulating layer 220 can be provided between the passenger compartment 210 and the layer 230 containing the gravity block, serving to provide sound insulation, heat insulation, and prevent electrical leakage. On the other hand, the heat generated by the gravity block's movement may also adversely affect the power source device. To eliminate the impact of the heat generated by the gravity block's movement, a heat-insulating and fire-resistant layer can also be provided between the layer 230 containing the gravity block and the power source device.

[0052] It should be noted that the power source device can be as follows: Figure 2The battery layer 250 shown in the figure can also be a fuel engine located at the front or rear of the vehicle. The corresponding heat-insulating and fire-resistant insulation layer can separate the power source device from the gravity block and the moving track group. There are no restrictions on the specific location and shape of the heat-insulating and fire-resistant insulation layer.

[0053] After a vehicle is equipped with the vehicle center of gravity adjustment device proposed in the above embodiments of this application, the vehicle hardware can support the adjustment of the vehicle's center of gravity. However, in order to truly achieve the goal of avoiding vehicle accidents by adjusting the vehicle's center of gravity at appropriate times, i.e., in some dangerous operating conditions, a corresponding vehicle center of gravity control method is also required.

[0054] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the center of gravity of a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method is applied to an on-board computer, and the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle center of gravity adjustment device as described in any one of the embodiments in Part One of this application. The method includes:

[0055] In step S301, the vehicle status is obtained;

[0056] In step S302, if the vehicle status indicates that the vehicle's center of gravity is deviating and / or there is a risk of the vehicle's center of gravity being deviating, a center of gravity adjustment command is sent to the adjustment device, causing the gravity block to move along the moving track group to adjust the vehicle's center of gravity.

[0057] In one embodiment, the vehicle state includes at least one of the following: geographical environment information of the vehicle, steering information, vehicle speed, pressure information of the vehicle seats, navigation information of the vehicle, and rotation angle of the vehicle. Specifically, the geographical environment information of the vehicle can be acquired by vehicle radar through an image acquisition device; the steering information can be acquired by detecting the rotation angle of the vehicle's steering wheel and / or wheels; the vehicle speed can be acquired by detecting the rotational speed of the wheels; the pressure information of the vehicle seats can be acquired by pressure sensors located under the seats to determine the distribution of occupants in the vehicle; the navigation information of the vehicle can be acquired based on navigation positioning functions; and the rotation angle of the vehicle can be acquired by a vehicle balance system, such as a gyroscope, to determine the vehicle's tilt in the Z-direction.

[0058] In one embodiment, based on the vehicle's condition, if it indicates that the vehicle's center of gravity is deviating and / or there is a risk of the vehicle's center of gravity deviating, a center of gravity adjustment command is sent to the adjustment device to perform center of gravity adjustment.

[0059] A vehicle's center of gravity shifting indicates that its center of gravity has already deviated. If the vehicle is not adjusted in time, it may cause a serious accident. In this case, adjusting the vehicle's center of gravity can prevent an accident caused by the current center of gravity shift. A risk of center of gravity shifting indicates that the vehicle's center of gravity has not yet shifted, but based on driving conditions, a shift is imminent, or based on driving conditions, it is judged that a shift would have serious consequences. In this case, adjusting the vehicle's center of gravity in advance can prevent the vehicle from shifting its center of gravity later, or prevent serious consequences should a shift occur.

[0060] This application obtains the vehicle status through the onboard computer, determines whether the center of gravity needs to be adjusted based on the vehicle status, and determines how to adjust the center of gravity. Then, it sends a command to the vehicle's center of gravity adjustment device to achieve the center of gravity adjustment, thereby avoiding accidents caused by center of gravity deviation.

[0061] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the center of gravity of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of this application, wherein sending a center of gravity adjustment command to the control module includes:

[0062] In step S401A, if it is determined that the vehicle's steering causes the center of gravity to deviate, a first adjustment command is sent to the control module. The first adjustment command is used to instruct the control module to control the gravity block to move along the moving track group to the side of the vehicle's steering.

[0063] In step S401B, if it is determined that the tilt of the vehicle causes the center of gravity to deviate, a second adjustment command is sent to the control module. The second adjustment command is used to instruct the control module to control the gravity block to move along the moving track group to the side where the vehicle is tilted.

[0064] In step S401C, if uneven distribution of passengers on the vehicle is detected, causing a deviation in the center of gravity, a third adjustment command is sent to the control module. The third adjustment command is used to instruct the control module to control the gravity block to move along the moving track group so that the center of gravity of the vehicle is kept at a preset position.

[0065] In one embodiment, when a vehicle is turning, it is prone to rollover to the opposite side of the turn. To avoid this, a first adjustment command can be sent to the vehicle's center of gravity adjustment device during the turn to adjust the vehicle's center of gravity, enabling the vehicle to smoothly corner and avoid rollover. For example, when the vehicle is turning left, insufficient centripetal force may cause the vehicle to rollover to the right. In this case, the gravity block is adjusted to the left side of the vehicle.

[0066] In one embodiment, the vehicle steering scenario described above can be supplemented with a speed determination; that is, a first adjustment command is sent to the vehicle's center of gravity adjustment device only when the vehicle speed exceeds a first speed. Rollovers are more likely to occur at higher vehicle speeds and less likely at lower speeds; therefore, by determining the vehicle speed, it can be ascertained whether adjusting the vehicle's center of gravity is necessary to prevent a rollover.

[0067] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the vehicle is about to turn, the gravity block can be adjusted and moved to the side of the vehicle that will be turning. Adjusting the gravity block to the side of the vehicle that will be turning can provide the vehicle with a certain centripetal force required for turning, thus helping the vehicle to turn.

[0068] In one embodiment, if the vehicle tilts in the Z-direction, causing a shift in its center of gravity, it may overturn or fall. For example, when a vehicle is driving along a cliff edge, if the left side of the vehicle is suspended in the air, causing the vehicle to shift to the left in the Z-direction, the center of gravity shifts to the left, potentially posing a risk of falling off the cliff. In this case, a second adjustment command can be used to move the gravity block to the right side of the vehicle, i.e., to the side of the vehicle that is tilted, to prevent the vehicle from accidentally sliding towards the left side of the cliff and rolling off. As another example, if the right wheel of a vehicle has climbed a large embankment while the left wheel remains on a level surface, meaning the vehicle is shifted to the left in the Z-direction, the center of gravity shifts to the left, and the left side of the vehicle is lower and the right side is higher and tilted, if the vehicle speed is high, it may cause the vehicle to overturn to the left. In this case, adjusting the gravity block to the right side of the vehicle can also prevent overturning. It should be noted that although the two examples given in this embodiment both involve the vehicle tilting in the left and right direction, this embodiment of the present application can also be used for situations where the vehicle tilts forward or backward. For example, if the rear wheel and the rear body of the vehicle accidentally slip off the road surface during reversing, or if the vehicle encounters a large slope while moving forward, causing the front of the vehicle to lift up, the corresponding countermeasures and effects can be found in other examples of this embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] In one embodiment, uneven distribution of the weight and position of passengers in the vehicle can also cause the vehicle's center of gravity to deviate. In this case, the position of the gravity block can be adjusted accordingly by sensing the distribution of the passengers' weight and position, so that the vehicle's center of gravity is kept at a preset position, thus making the vehicle more stable during driving.

[0070] In one embodiment, sending a center of gravity adjustment command to the control module includes: acquiring terrain information of the vehicle's location; if the terrain information indicates that there is no road surface on one side of the vehicle, determining that the vehicle is in a dangerous road condition, and sending a fourth adjustment command to the control module; wherein the fourth adjustment command is used to: instruct the control module to control the gravity block to move along the moving track group to the side of the vehicle away from the road surface.

[0071] Terrain information can be obtained by collecting terrain information around the vehicle using vehicle-mounted radar or other image acquisition equipment, or based on terrain information recorded by the navigation system. If the terrain information indicates that the vehicle may be traveling on a mountain road with a mountain wall on one side and a cliff on the other, even if the vehicle's center of gravity has not shifted, a shift towards the cliff side could potentially lead to the vehicle rolling off the cliff. Therefore, in this situation, the weights can be pre-positioned towards the mountain wall, away from the cliff side without a road surface, to avoid serious consequences should the center of gravity shift towards the cliff side.
