[0040] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0043] The control method for the one-button start protective cover in various embodiments of the present invention is used to achieve automatic control of the one-button start protective cover. Specifically, the one-button start protective cover includes a protective cover body, an electromagnetic relay, and a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module is used to receive control commands from the vehicle T-Box and output the control commands to the electromagnetic relay to control the electromagnetic relay to turn on or off. When the electromagnetic relay is turned on or off, it corresponds to the opening or closing of the protective cover body. The one-button start protective cover is a structure capable of being controlled by an electromagnetic relay to open or close; it can be any structure capable of achieving this function, and the present invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a circuit diagram of an electromagnetic relay. An electromagnetic relay typically consists of an iron core, coil, armature, and contact springs. When a certain voltage is applied across the coil, a certain current flows through it, generating an electromagnetic effect. The armature, attracted by the electromagnetic force, overcomes the tension of the return spring and is drawn towards the iron core, causing the moving contact of the armature to engage with the stationary contact (normally open contact). When the coil is de-energized, the electromagnetic attraction disappears, and the armature returns to its original position under the spring's reaction force, releasing the moving contact from the original stationary contact (normally closed contact). This engagement and disengagement achieves the purpose of turning the circuit on and off. In some embodiments, the wireless communication module can be a Bluetooth module, a WIFI module, etc. Correspondingly, a wireless communication module is provided on the vehicle T-Box side to establish a communication connection between the vehicle T-Box and the one-button start cover.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of the control method for the one-button start protective cover of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the control method for the one-button start protective cover of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the control method for the one-button start protective cover in this embodiment of the invention includes the following steps:

[0047] Step S101: The vehicle-mounted T-Box receives door status information via the CAN bus.

[0048] Specifically, door status information can characterize the vehicle's current state to a certain extent. For example, when the door status information indicates the door is open, the vehicle is usually in a parked state. When the door status information indicates the door is closed, the vehicle may be in a parked or moving state. Based on different vehicle states, the driver's need to operate the one-button start button can be determined, thus deciding whether to open or close the one-button start button cover. For instance, when the door status information indicates the door is open and the vehicle is parked, the driver does not need to operate the one-button start button, and operating it poses a certain risk; therefore, the one-button start button cover should be kept closed. When the door status information indicates the door is closed, the driver can operate the one-button start button regardless of whether the vehicle is parked or moving. For example, starting the vehicle when switching from a parked state to a moving state, or turning off the vehicle when switching from a moving state to a parked state, can all be done by operating the one-button start button; therefore, the one-button start button cover should be kept open. Based on the above factors, this embodiment of the invention uses door status information to generate control commands.

[0049] Specifically, the door status information may include the status information of each door on the vehicle, such as the driver's side door (generally the left front door), the left rear door, the right front door, and the right rear door, or it may only include the status information of some of the doors. Preferably, in one embodiment, the door status information may be the door status information of the driver's side door. In a specific implementation, the door status information is detected by door sensors and transmitted to the on-board T-BOX via the CAN bus.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of a central locking system for automobiles in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the central locking system is controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM receives relevant input signals, performs logical operations, and outputs control signals to achieve its functions. Locking and unlocking signals are directly transmitted from the door lock control switch to the BCM. Mechanical key locking and unlocking signals are transmitted from the door lock mechanism to the door control modules (PDM or DDM) via sensors. The door control modules then transmit this information to the BCM via the MS-CAN network. Door position signals are obtained by the BCM from the individual door modules through the MS-CAN network via lock / unlock feedback. The locking or unlocking control signals output by the BCM are transmitted via the CAN network to the left and right front door control modules (DDM and PDM). The DDM and PDM then issue commands to drive the left and right front door lock motors. The opening or closing of the left and right rear door locks is driven by commands from the left and right rear door control modules (LDM / RDM). However, the open commands received by the LDM and RDM are transmitted by the DDM or PDM via the LIN network. Figure 3 The central locking system shown in the image can obtain the door status information of each door through the BCM, and then upload the door status information to the vehicle T-Box via the CAN bus.

[0051] In step S102, the vehicle-mounted T-Box processes the door status information and generates control commands.

[0052] Specifically, when the door status information indicates the door is open, the generated control command is a closing command, used to control the automatic closing of the one-button start cover. When the door status information indicates the door is closed, the generated control command is an opening command, used to control the automatic opening of the one-button start cover.

[0053] Step S103: Output the control command to the one-key start button protective cover to control the automatic opening or closing of the one-key start button protective cover.

[0054] Specifically, the control command is output to the electromagnetic relay of the one-button start cover via Bluetooth module, and the automatic opening or closing of the one-button start cover is controlled by controlling the conduction state of the electromagnetic relay.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the control method of the one-button start cover in this embodiment of the invention transmits the door status information to the vehicle T-Box via the CAN bus, processes the door status information through the vehicle T-Box to generate control commands, and outputs the control commands to the one-button start cover. Thus, based on vehicle networking technology, the one-button start cover is automatically opened or closed by controlling the door status information, avoiding manual operation by the driver and improving the user experience.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the current state of the vehicle is characterized by integrating door status information and driver status information. The driver status information indicates whether the driver is in the driver's seat. In this case, the control method for the one-button start cover further includes the following steps: the vehicle-mounted T-Box receives the driver status information via the CAN bus; correspondingly, the vehicle-mounted T-Box processes the door status information and driver status information to generate control commands. In some embodiments, the driver status information can be detected by a pressure sensor installed on the driver's seat and transmitted to the vehicle-mounted T-Box via the CAN bus, or it can be detected by other sensors in the vehicle, such as cameras or radar. This embodiment does not limit the specific implementation method.

[0058] Since the door status information indicates the door is open, the vehicle is typically in a parked state. In this case, the driver doesn't need to operate the start button. Therefore, regardless of the driver's status (whether the driver is in the driver's seat or not), the start button cover should automatically close. However, if the door status information indicates the door is closed, and the driver is in the driver's seat (meaning they might operate the start button), the control command is an "open" command. If the driver is not in the driver's seat, there's no need to operate the start button, so the control command is a "close" command.

[0059] Compared with Example 1, this example generates control commands by combining door status information and driver status information. Compared with generating control commands based solely on door status information, it better meets the actual needs of users and achieves more intelligent control over the opening or closing of the one-button start cover. This avoids the one-button start cover being open when the door is closed but the driver is not in the driver's seat, thus failing to protect the one-button start button in this scenario.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 This invention provides a control device 100 for a one-button start protective cover, comprising a CAN communication module 10, a data processing module 11, and an instruction output module 12. Wherein:

[0063] Data processing module 11 is used to process the door status information and generate control commands;

[0064] The instruction output module 12 is used to output the control instruction to the one-key start button protective cover to control the automatic opening or closing of the one-key start button protective cover.

[0065] Specifically, the door status information includes the door status information of the driver's side door; the data processing module 11 is specifically used for: when the door status information indicates that the door is open, the control command is a closing command to control the automatic closing of the one-button start button protective cover; when the door status information indicates that the door is closed, the control command is an opening command to control the automatic opening of the one-button start button protective cover.

[0066] In some embodiments, the CAN communication module 10 is further configured to: receive driver status information via a CAN bus, the driver status information being used to characterize whether the driver is in the driver's seat;

[0067] Correspondingly, the data processing module 11 is used for:

[0068] The system processes the door status information and the driver status information to generate control commands. Specifically, when the door status information indicates the door is open, the control command is a closing command to automatically close the one-button start cover; when the door status information indicates the door is closed, if the driver status information corresponds to the driver being in the driver's seat, the control command is an opening command; if the driver status information corresponds to the driver not being in the driver's seat, the control command is a closing command.

[0069] In some embodiments, the instruction output module 12 is specifically used for:

[0070] The control command is output to the electromagnetic relay of the one-button start cover via Bluetooth module. The automatic opening or closing of the one-button start cover is controlled by controlling the conduction state of the electromagnetic relay.
