[0029] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0031] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0032] With the development of automotive electronics technology, OEMs are placing increasingly higher demands on vehicle driver assistance systems. Lane departure warning is one of the commonly used functions of vehicle driver assistance systems, and the smoothness of lane departure warning control is also one of the important factors affecting the driving experience.

[0033] In related technologies, lane departure warnings can be categorized into audible and haptic alerts. Vibration alerts are typically implemented by the EPS (Electric Power Steering) motor vibrating to cause the steering wheel to vibrate.

[0034] In vehicles using related technologies, when the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) function is triggered, there may be a problem of the steering wheel shifting and vibrating to one side. This is because at the moment the LDW function is triggered, there is a significant sudden change in the detected current in the EPS system. The current will start to vibrate in the form of a rectangular wave. The amplitude and frequency of the rectangular wave are adjustable. When the amplitude is too large and the frequency is too small in the first half cycle of the rectangular wave response, it will cause an excessive current surge, causing the steering wheel to shift. This results in the steering wheel turning in the direction of the current surge. Therefore, when the motor vibration is not smooth enough, it will cause a shift in the steering angle, resulting in steering wheel deflection. This phenomenon can cause the driver to feel unsafe and panicked, affecting the driving experience.

[0035] Therefore, embodiments of this application can provide a vibration alert method, device, vehicle, and storage medium to solve the above-mentioned problems; specifically, Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart of a vibration alert method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0036] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vibration alert method includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S101: Obtain the vibration alert signal and desired amplitude of the steering wheel.

[0038] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can acquire the vibration alert signal and the desired amplitude when the vehicle steering wheel vibrates. For example, Figure 2 As shown, after receiving the LDW request from the host computer, the EPS system can superimpose a rectangular wave on the original current to generate a vibration alert signal. The following embodiments will be based on the rectangular wave amplitude A, frequency f, and vibration time T, where amplitude A, frequency f, and vibration time T are all calibrable quantities; the expected amplitude in this embodiment can be calculated based on actual conditions and the calibration value of the steering motor.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the desired amplitude can be calculated using the calibration value of the steering motor. Since the amplitude of the rectangular wave is related to the amplitude of the vibration alert, this embodiment of the application can directly determine the desired amplitude based on the amplitude of the rectangular wave. That is, the desired amplitude is the value of the LDW response current (i.e., amplitude A) that can satisfy the vibration alert, thus quickly and accurately determining the desired amplitude of the vibration alert.

[0040] Step S102: Obtain the amplitude rise limit of the steering wheel when it responds to the vibration reminder at the current moment so that there is no angle deviation.

[0041] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can obtain in real time the amplitude rise limit value of the steering wheel without angular deviation when the vibration is alerted. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can use the expected amplitude to compare with the rise limit value to determine whether the current gradual in and out stage has been entered, thereby improving the smoothness of the vibration alert process and avoiding steering wheel deviation caused by sudden changes in current when the vibration is alerted, thereby improving the driver's sense of security and driving experience.

[0042] Specifically, obtaining the amplitude rise limit of the steering wheel when responding to the vibration alert at the current moment includes: obtaining the duration of continuous vibration of the steering wheel and the current rise slope when responding to the vibration alert; and calculating the amplitude rise limit of the steering wheel when responding to the vibration alert at the current moment based on the duration of continuous vibration and the current rise slope.

[0043] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can obtain the current rise slope and the duration of continuous vibration of the steering wheel when the steering wheel responds to the vibration reminder in real time, and calculate the amplitude rise limit value at which the steering wheel does not deviate from its angle when the vibration reminder is given. This amplitude rise limit value can represent the critical value at which the steering wheel deviates from its angle. Since the amplitude rise limit value will also change with the increase of the vibration duration, that is, different vibration durations correspond to different amplitude rise limit values, the embodiments of this application can accurately calculate the amplitude rise limit value based on the current rise slope and the duration of continuous vibration, thereby providing vibration reminders to the user while avoiding angle deviation when the steering wheel vibrates.

[0044] Specifically, the calculation process for the amplitude rise limit in this application embodiment can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a calibrable LDW current rise slope, LDWCURRENT_CLIP_INC, is added to the original LDW function, with units of A / ms; after receiving the LDW response signal, as... Figure 3 As shown, timer T1 is started, and the system first enters the gradual entry phase, calculating the current rise limit value A1 (i.e., the amplitude rise limit A1). The magnitude of A1 can be obtained by multiplying the current rise slope by the time, as expressed in the following expression:

[0045] A1=LDWCURRENT_CLIP_INC×T1.

[0046] Step S103: Control the steering wheel to provide vibration alerts based on the desired amplitude and amplitude rise limit.

[0047] It is understandable that since the amplitude of the vibration alert is related to the steering wheel offset and also to the effectiveness of the vibration alert, this embodiment of the application can use the expected amplitude and the amplitude rise limit to determine and control the steering wheel for vibration alerts. This ensures the steering wheel remains stable and does not deviate while maintaining the effectiveness of the vibration alert, improving the smoothness of the vibration alert, avoiding safety hazards while driving, enhancing driving safety, and preventing the driver from experiencing insecurity and panic, thus providing a more user-friendly alert experience. Specifically, the method of controlling the steering wheel for vibration alerts based on the expected amplitude and the amplitude rise limit in this embodiment of the application is as follows:

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, controlling the steering wheel to provide vibration alerts based on the desired amplitude and the amplitude rise limit includes: determining the minimum value between the desired amplitude and the amplitude rise limit; and controlling the steering wheel to provide vibration alerts according to the minimum value between the desired amplitude and the amplitude rise limit.

[0049] It can be understood that, the embodiment of the present application can select the minimum value of the expected amplitude and the amplitude rising limit to control the steering wheel to perform a fade-in vibration reminder, that is, the embodiment of the present application is in the fade-in control stage at this time, so as to avoid steering wheel deviation caused by large sudden current change and improve the smoothness of starting the vibration reminder.

[0050] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can respond to the expected amplitude when the expected amplitude is smaller than the amplitude rising limit, and control the vibration amplitude of the vibration reminder to be the amplitude rising limit when the expected amplitude changes suddenly, so that the vibration amplitude can be limited by the amplitude rising limit, sudden amplitude change during vibration reminder is avoided, the smoothness of vibration reminder is improved, potential safety hazards during driving are avoided, driving safety is improved, and a more friendly reminder experience is provided for users.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the embodiment of the present application can compare the expected amplitude A with the current rising limit value A1, and determine the absolute value of the LDW response current, that is, the expected amplitude A and the current rising limit value A1: when A1 < A, the system outputs with the amplitude of A1 and the frequency of f; when it is detected that A1 ≥ A, the system outputs with the amplitude of A and the frequency of f.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, after controlling the steering wheel to perform vibration reminder according to the expected amplitude and the amplitude rising limit, the method further includes: acquiring the continuous vibration duration of the steering wheel; if the continuous vibration duration is longer than the preset response duration, acquiring an amplitude falling limit at which the steering wheel will not have angular deviation when exiting the vibration reminder at the current moment; and controlling the steering wheel to exit the vibration reminder according to the amplitude falling limit.

[0053] Wherein, the acquisition of the continuous vibration duration of the steering wheel can be completed by the timer in the above embodiment; the preset duration can be set according to actual conditions, for example, it can be set to 4s, 5s, 6s, etc., which is not specifically limited herein.

[0054] It can be understood that, after performing vibration reminder control according to the expected amplitude and the amplitude rising limit, the embodiment of the present application can also perform a fade-out control for vibration reminder, which uses the vibration duration of the steering wheel to determine whether the effect of the vibration reminder has been achieved, that is, it determines whether to end the vibration control through the continuous vibration duration of the steering wheel, and when the end condition is satisfied, controls the steering wheel to exit the vibration reminder smoothly, so as to avoid steering wheel deviation that may be caused by suddenly ending the vibration reminder, and improve the smoothness of exiting the vibration reminder.

[0055] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can limit the vibration amplitude when exiting the vibration reminder, avoid angular deviation of the steering wheel caused by sudden change of the vibration amplitude when exiting, so as to gradually exit the vibration reminder, improve the smoothness of exiting the vibration reminder, avoid potential safety hazards during driving, improve driving safety, and provide a more friendly reminder experience for users.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the LDW vibration ends (i.e., after a vibration time T has elapsed since the LDW request signal was received), a gradual exit phase is entered: The continuous vibration duration T is compared with a preset response duration; if the continuous vibration duration is greater than the preset response duration, an amplitude reduction limit is obtained to ensure the steering wheel will not deviate from the vibration alert angle when it exits; if the continuous vibration duration is less than the preset response duration, no acquisition is performed; after obtaining the amplitude reduction limit, the limit is used to control the steering wheel to exit the vibration alert; The specific methods for obtaining the amplitude reduction limit and controlling the steering wheel to exit the vibration alert in this embodiment are as follows:

[0057] (1) Obtaining the amplitude drop limit

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, obtaining the amplitude reduction limit of the steering wheel without angle deviation when the vibration reminder is removed at the current moment includes: obtaining the current drop slope when the steering wheel is removed from the vibration reminder; and calculating the amplitude reduction limit of the steering wheel without angle deviation when the vibration reminder is removed at the current moment based on the expected amplitude, the current drop slope, the duration of continuous vibration, and the preset response duration.

[0059] It is understandable that the amplitude drop limit will change as the vibration duration increases, i.e., different vibration durations correspond to different amplitude drop limits. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can calculate the amplitude drop limit based on the expected amplitude, the current drop slope, the continuous vibration duration and the preset response duration, so as to provide vibration reminders to the user while avoiding angular deviation when the steering wheel vibration reminder is exited.

[0060] Specifically, this application embodiment can add a calibrable LDW current drop slope LDWCURRENT_CLIP_DEC, with units of A / ms, to the original LDW function; in the following embodiments, the output is based on an amplitude of A2 and a frequency of f, and the amplitude A2 is calculated as follows:

[0061] A2=A-LDWCURRENT_CLIP_DEC×(T1-T).

[0062] (2) Control the steering wheel to disable vibration alert

[0063] In this embodiment of the application, controlling the steering wheel to exit the vibration reminder according to the amplitude reduction limit includes: identifying whether the amplitude reduction limit is less than or equal to a preset amplitude; if the amplitude reduction limit is less than or equal to the preset amplitude, then ending the vibration reminder of the steering wheel; otherwise, controlling the steering wheel to exit the vibration reminder according to the amplitude reduction limit.

[0064] The preset amplitude can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the preset amplitude can be set to 0, and there is no specific limitation on this.

[0065] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can compare the amplitude drop limit and the preset amplitude. When the amplitude drop limit is greater than the preset amplitude, the steering wheel can be controlled to gradually exit the vibration reminder according to the amplitude drop limit. When the vibration drop limit is less than or equal to the preset amplitude, it can be considered that the end requirement of the vibration reminder response is met, thereby ending the vibration reminder.

[0066] Therefore, this embodiment of the application can limit the amplitude of vibration reminder withdrawal by limiting the vibration reduction limit, gradually withdrawing the vibration reminder, thereby improving the smoothness of vibration reminder withdrawal, avoiding safety hazards while driving, improving driving safety, and providing users with a more user-friendly reminder experience.

[0067] The vibration alert method of this application will be described below through a specific embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0068] After receiving the LDW request from the host computer, the EPS will superimpose a rectangular wave on the original current. The amplitude A, frequency f, and vibration time T of the rectangular wave are all calibrable quantities. In this embodiment, the response can be started through the LDW function when a response request signal is received. At this time, the timer T1 starts counting. By comparing the timer T1 and the response time T, when T1 is less than T, the gradual entry control stage is entered, and when T1 is greater than T, the gradual exit control stage is entered.

[0069] (1) Gradual control

[0070] This embodiment of the application can add a calibrable LDW current rise slope LDWCURRENT_CLIP_INC, with units of A / ms, to the original LDW function; when T1 is less than T, the current rise limit A1 (i.e., amplitude rise limit) is calculated, where the current rise limit A1 is the current rise slope multiplied by time, and its calculation formula can be:

[0071] A1=LDWCURRENT_CLIP_INC×T1;

[0072] Compare the magnitude of A with the calculated magnitude of A1. When the current rise limit A1 is less than the preset set amplitude A, output a rectangular wave current with amplitude A1 and frequency f. When A1 is greater than or equal to A, output a rectangular wave current with amplitude A and frequency f. This completes the current gradual control for vibration reminder and returns to the judgment step of timer T1 and response time T.

[0073] (2) Fade-out control

[0074] This embodiment of the application can add a calibrable LDW current drop slope LDWCURRENT_CLIP_DEC, with units of A / ms, to the original LDW function; when T1 is greater than or equal to T, the current drop limit A2 (i.e., amplitude drop limit) is calculated, where the current drop limit A2 is the current drop slope multiplied by time, and its calculation formula can be:

[0075] A2=A-LDWCURRENT_CLIP_DEC×(T1-T);

[0076] Determine whether A2 has dropped to 0. When A2 is greater than 0, output a rectangular wave current with A2 as the amplitude and f as the frequency, thereby completing the current fade-out control for vibration reminder and returning to the determination step of timer T1 and response time T. When A2 is less than or equal to 0, this embodiment of the application can directly end the current LDW function response.

[0077] Therefore, the embodiments of this application can introduce amplitude rise and fall limits to control the steering wheel to perform gradual entry and gradual exit vibration reminders, thereby smoothly completing the process of steering wheel entering and exiting vibration reminders, avoiding steering wheel deviation caused by large current changes, improving the driver's sense of security, and thus enhancing the driving experience.

[0078] In summary, the vibration alert method according to the embodiments of this application can limit the vibration amplitude of the steering wheel vibration alert by setting an amplitude rise limit, thereby preventing sudden changes in the amplitude of the vibration alert from causing an angle shift in the steering wheel. By limiting the amplitude of the vibration alert, the smoothness of the vibration alert is improved, avoiding safety hazards while driving, enhancing driving safety, and providing users with a more user-friendly alert experience.

[0090] According to the vibration reminder device of this application embodiment, the vibration amplitude of the steering wheel vibration reminder can be limited by the amplitude rise limit value, so as to avoid the steering wheel angle deviation caused by the sudden change of vibration amplitude. In this way, by limiting the amplitude of vibration reminder, the smoothness of vibration reminder is improved, safety hazards are avoided when driving, driving safety is improved, and a more user-friendly reminder experience is provided.
