[0042] Example 1:
[0043] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a first embodiment of the electric door lock control method for a car collision provided by the present invention. The flowchart specifically includes:
[0044] S11: The body control system receives vehicle mode status signals from the vehicle mode control system and power mode status signals from the power mode control system. Specifically, vehicle mode status signals include user mode, showroom mode, factory mode, transportation mode, etc., and power mode status signals include OFF / ACC / ON positions, etc.
[0045] S12: When the vehicle is in user mode and the power status is switched from ON to OFF, if the airbag control system sends a collision signal to the vehicle control system || the vehicle's six-axis acceleration sent by the electronic stability control system or intelligent driving control system is greater than threshold 1 || the vehicle's six-axis roll angle sent by the intelligent driving control system is greater than threshold 2 || the vehicle's six-axis roll angular velocity sent by the intelligent driving control system is greater than threshold 3. Specifically, the settings of threshold 1, threshold 2, and threshold 3 are designed according to vehicle type, volume, weight, and other indicators.
[0046] S13: The vehicle control system determines that a collision has occurred and sets the vehicle status to unlocked.
[0047] S14: If the vehicle body control system detects that the switch signal from the exterior door of the interior and exterior door switch systems is valid, the vehicle body control system sends an unlock command to the door lock control system. The door lock control system then drives the motor to automatically open the electric door. Specifically, at this time, the vehicle body control system only detects that the switch signal from the exterior door of the interior and exterior door switch systems is valid, i.e., it sends an unlock command to the door lock control system, and the door lock control system drives the motor to automatically open the electric door, without further checking whether the door lock control switch on the interior or exterior door has been manually pressed. This allows the electric door to open immediately, preventing situations where occupants are slow to react or unconscious due to a vehicle collision, thus avoiding delays in escape or rescue by outside personnel.
[0048] Example 2:
[0049] Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a second embodiment of the electric door lock control method for a car collision provided by the present invention. The flowchart specifically includes:
[0050] S10: A main power system and a backup power system are configured for the vehicle. These systems simultaneously supply power to the body control system, vehicle mode control system, airbag control system, electronic stability control system, intelligent driving control system, door lock control system, and interior and exterior door opening and closing systems. The main power system serves as the primary power source for the vehicle, while the backup power system provides auxiliary power in case the main power system fails. The backup power system's power supply capacity and power output can be lower than the main power system. This ensures dual power supply for the electric door lock control systems while minimizing vehicle costs.
[0051] Furthermore, the vehicle's main power system and backup power system are located at the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively. This arrangement ensures that if a frontal or rearal collision causes a power outage in one power source, the other power source can continue to supply power normally.
[0052] Furthermore, the vehicle's main power system and backup power system are located outside and inside the driver's compartment, respectively. The engine compartment is preferred as the location outside the driver's compartment. This design ensures that if the vehicle falls into water or experiences a power outage outside the driver's compartment due to rain or snow, the backup power system can still function normally.
[0053] S11: The body control system receives vehicle mode status signals from the vehicle mode control system and power mode status signals from the power mode control system. Specifically, vehicle mode status signals include user mode, showroom mode, factory mode, transportation mode, etc., and power mode status signals include OFF / ACC / ON positions, etc.
[0054] S12: When the vehicle is in the user mode and the power state is switched from the ON mode to the OFF mode, if the airbag control system sends a collision signal to the body control system, or the vehicle six-axis acceleration sent by the body electronic stability control system or the intelligent driving control system is greater than threshold 1, or the vehicle six-axis roll angle sent by the intelligent driving control system is greater than threshold 2, or the vehicle six-axis roll angle speed sent by the intelligent driving control system is greater than threshold 3. Specifically, the set values of the threshold 1, threshold 2, and threshold 3 are designed according to the indicators such as vehicle type, volume, weight, etc.
[0055] S13: The body control system judges that the vehicle has collided, and sets the vehicle state to the unlocking state. S13 specifically includes: S131: The body control system judges that the vehicle has collided; S132: The body control system judges that the vehicle speed is lower than threshold 4 through the vehicle speed sensor; S133: The body control system sets the vehicle state to the unlocking state. Threshold 4 can be set to 3Km / h. At this time, even if the electric vehicle door is opened, it will not cause secondary damage caused by the person inside the vehicle being thrown out of the vehicle.
[0056] S14: If the body control system detects that the door outside switch signal fed back by the inside and outside door switch system is valid, the body control system sends an unlocking instruction to the door lock control system, and the door lock control system drives the motor to automatically open the electric door. Specifically, at this time, the body control system only detects that the door outside switch signal fed back by the inside and outside door switch system is valid, i.e. sends an unlocking instruction to the door lock control system, and the door lock control system drives the motor to automatically open the electric door, without further judging whether the door inside panel or the door outside door lock control switch is pressed manually. In this way, the electric vehicle door can be opened in the first time, avoiding the situation that the vehicle inside personnel delays escape or external personnel rescue due to the vehicle door not being opened in the first time because of delayed reaction or unclear consciousness caused by vehicle collision.
[0057] Further, S14 step further includes: If the body control system detects that the door outside switch signal fed back by the inside and outside door switch system is invalid or the electric door cannot be automatically opened, press the outside handle in the hidden state of the door, the outside handle pops out, the outside handle is connected to the electric door lock bolt through wire drawing, and the electric vehicle door is opened by pulling the outside handle. Specifically, when the vehicle has collided and the vehicle has been automatically forced to the unlocking state by the system, the outside handle in the hidden state of the door can only be popped out by pressing it. If the vehicle is normally used and the vehicle is in the locking state, the outside handle in the hidden state of the door cannot be popped out. Through such a setting, it can be ensured that in an extreme case, such as insufficient main power system and backup power system to support subsequent opening of the door through the inside or outside switch, rescue personnel can open the door through the physical structure. At the same time, when the vehicle is normally used and the vehicle is in the locking state, the electric vehicle door outside is prevented from being opened, which affects the privacy and safety of the vehicle inside personnel.
[0058] Further, after the step S14, there is further included S15: the door lock control system feeds back the state signal of the door to the vehicle body control system, and if the electric door is not automatically opened, the vehicle central control screen and the vehicle audio system issue a sound and light reminder for manually opening the door. Through such a setting, the vehicle occupants can be reminded to react as soon as possible, and leave the vehicle in which the collision occurs as soon as possible through pressing the door inner plate control switch or pulling the door switch or other methods such as breaking the window to save themselves.
[0059] Embodiment 3
[0060] Figure 3 Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of the electric door lock control method of the vehicle in normal use according to the present application, which specifically includes:
[0061] S21: When the vehicle is in the user mode and the vehicle power supply mode is in any state, the vehicle body control system receives the central control unlocking control signal or the unlocking control signal provided by the remote unlocking and locking system when the vehicle power supply mode is in the OFF gear. Specifically, the remote unlocking and locking system includes a Bluetooth key, a remote APP, a remote control key, etc.
[0062] S22: The vehicle body control system sets the vehicle state to the unlocking state.
[0063] S23: Pressing the door lock control switch on the door inner plate or the door outer side.
[0064] S24: Determining whether there is an obstruction outside the door by the photoelectric sensor.
[0065] S25: If there is no obstruction outside the door, the vehicle body control system sends an unlocking instruction to the door lock control system, and the door lock control system drives the motor to realize automatic opening of the electric door; if there is an obstruction outside the door, the vehicle body control system does not send an unlocking instruction to the door lock control system, and the vehicle central control screen and the vehicle audio system issue a sound and light reminder that there is an obstruction outside the door. Through such a setting, damage to the vehicle caused by the obstruction outside the door during the opening process of the electric vehicle door is avoided.
[0066] S26: The door lock control system feeds back the state signal of the door opening to the vehicle body control system. The vehicle body control system can send an instruction to the vehicle central control screen and the vehicle audio system according to the state signal of the door opening, so that the latter issues a sound and light reminder of the electric door opening.
