[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] This application provides a method for disconnecting vehicle power; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the implementation environment of the method provided in this application embodiment. This implementation environment may include: a vehicle 11 and a vehicle control system 12.

[0034] Optionally, when a collision occurs in vehicle 11, a collision signal is issued based on the airbag controller of vehicle 11, and if the collision occurs in the scenario where vehicle 11 is not powered off and is parked or while vehicle 11 is in motion, vehicle control system 12 controls at least one of vehicle controller, battery management system controller or on-board charger to acquire the collision signal issued by airbag controller.

[0035] Based on the collision signal received by the vehicle controller, the vehicle control system 12 controls the vehicle controller to issue a power-down command; based on the collision signal received by the battery management system controller, the vehicle control system 12 controls the battery management system controller to disconnect the relay; based on the collision signal received by the on-board charger, the vehicle control system 12 controls the on-board charger to stop charging and discharge. Furthermore, if the motor controller receives the power-down command from the vehicle controller, the vehicle control system 12 controls the motor controller to reduce the voltage of the voltage bus to a reference value within a reference time period.

[0036] Optionally, the vehicle control system 12 can store the power-on / off status and driving speed of the vehicle 11 to determine the scenario of a collision involving the vehicle 11.

[0037] Optionally, the vehicle 11 and the vehicle control system 12 establish a communication connection via a wired or wireless network.

[0038] Based on the above Figure 1 The implementation environment shown in this application embodiment provides a method for powering off a vehicle, and the flowchart of the method is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Taking the application of this method to a vehicle control system as an example, the method includes steps 201-207.

[0039] In step 201, a first detection result is obtained in the event of a collision. The first detection result is used to indicate whether the vehicle's airbag controller issues a collision signal.

[0040] In one possible implementation, in the event of a vehicle collision, the vehicle control system communicates with the vehicle's airbag controller via at least one of a bus or hardwired connection to obtain information emitted by the airbag controller. If the obtained information from the airbag controller includes a collision signal, a first detection result instructs the vehicle's airbag controller to issue a collision signal; if the information from the airbag controller does not include a collision signal, the first detection result instructs the vehicle's airbag controller not to issue a collision signal.

[0041] Optionally, the hardwired communication between the vehicle control system and the airbag controller can be PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), and the bus can be CAN (Controller Area Network).

[0042] For example, in addition to acquiring information from the airbag controller, the vehicle control system can also acquire fault codes generated by the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle's airbag controller has issued a collision signal. These fault codes are generated when a sensor or actuator in the vehicle malfunctions, and are used to indicate the fault and the faulty sensor or actuator. If the fault codes generated by the vehicle include codes related to the airbag controller, the first detection result indicates that the vehicle's airbag controller should issue a collision signal.

[0043] For example, the vehicle control system can also determine whether the vehicle's airbag controller issues a collision signal based on the airbag inflation record. When a collision occurs, the airbag inflates rapidly, and the start time of inflation is recorded. If the airbag generates an inflation record during the trip, the first detection result indicates that the vehicle's airbag controller issues a collision signal; if the airbag does not generate an inflation record during the trip, the first detection result indicates that the vehicle's airbag controller does not issue a collision signal.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the vehicle control system can obtain the airbag inflation records and fault codes in the vehicle through the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) interface, where the OBD interface is located on the vehicle.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the airbag controller is instructed to issue a collision signal based on the first detection result, thereby controlling the collision power-off switch to close. By controlling the collision power-off switch to close, the vehicle's power battery stops supplying power to the vehicle, preventing the power battery from continuously supplying power to the vehicle and causing safety issues after the high-voltage system is damaged in a collision. Optionally, the vehicle control system controls the output current of the airbag controller to drive the collision power-off switch to close. The collision power-off switch is located on the vehicle and is used to disconnect the output voltage of the power battery. When the collision power-off switch is open, the vehicle's power battery supplies power to the vehicle; when the collision power-off switch is closed, the vehicle's power battery stops supplying power to the vehicle.

[0046] This application does not limit the magnitude of the airbag controller output current. For example, the magnitude of the airbag controller output current can be determined based on experimental settings, and the magnitude of the current that can drive the collision power-off switch to close can be used as the magnitude of the airbag controller output current.

[0047] In step 202, the airbag controller is instructed to issue a collision signal based on the first detection result, and a second detection result is obtained. The second detection result is used to indicate whether the collision scenario is a vehicle that is not powered off and parked or a vehicle that is in motion.

[0048] For example, if a collision occurs while the vehicle is parked without power off or while in motion, voltage-related faults can easily occur because the vehicle's relays are not disconnected, the vehicle's voltage bus voltage is high, the on-board charger stores electrical energy, and the on-board charger is charging the vehicle's power battery. Therefore, when it is determined that the first detection result indicates that the airbag controller should issue a collision signal, a second detection result is obtained to indicate whether the scenario of the vehicle collision is a parked vehicle without power off or a vehicle in motion. This includes: obtaining the vehicle's driving speed and power-on / off status. If the vehicle's driving speed is 0 and the vehicle's power-on / off status is "power on," then the scenario of the vehicle collision is a parked vehicle without power off; if the vehicle's driving speed is not 0, then the scenario of the vehicle collision is a vehicle in motion.

[0049] Optionally, the vehicle control system can obtain the vehicle's speed from the vehicle's central control system, wherein the vehicle control system and the vehicle's main control system can communicate via CAN. Optionally, the methods for obtaining the vehicle's power-on / off status include, but are not limited to, determining the vehicle's power-on / off status through the ignition switch position information. For example, the vehicle control system obtains the ignition switch position information; when the ignition switch is in the ON (on) position, the vehicle is in a power-on state; when the ignition switch is in the OFF (off) position, the vehicle is in a power-off state.

[0050] For example, the vehicle control system obtains the ignition switch position information in ways including but not limited to detecting the ignition switch position information via CAN. When the ignition switch is detected to be in the ON position, the vehicle is in a powered-on state; when the ignition switch is detected to be in the OFF position, the vehicle is in a powered-off state.

[0051] In step 203, based on the second detection result indicating that the vehicle collision scenario is a vehicle stopped without power off or a vehicle in motion, at least one of the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, or on-board charger is controlled to acquire the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller.

[0052] In one possible implementation, after determining that the scenario in which the second detection result indicates a vehicle collision is a power-off parking or vehicle in motion, at least one of the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, or on-board charger is controlled to acquire the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller, including: controlling at least one of the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, or on-board charger to acquire the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller via at least one of a bus or hardwire.

[0053] Optionally, the hardwired communication between the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, on-board charger, and airbag controller can be PWM, and the bus can be CAN.

[0054] For example, if the information emitted by the airbag controller obtained by the vehicle controller includes a collision signal, then the vehicle controller obtains the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller; if the information emitted by the airbag controller obtained by the battery management system controller includes a collision signal, then the battery management system controller obtains the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller; if the information emitted by the airbag controller obtained by the on-board charger includes a collision signal, then the on-board charger obtains the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller.

[0055] In step 204, based on the collision signal obtained by the vehicle controller from the airbag controller, the vehicle controller is controlled to issue a power-down command.

[0056] In one possible implementation, upon determining that the vehicle controller has received a collision signal from the airbag controller, the vehicle controller is controlled to issue a power-down command, including but not limited to: the vehicle control system controlling the vehicle controller to issue a power-down command to the motor control system and battery management system controller via PWM or CAN.

[0057] For example, after the vehicle controller issues a power-down command, the vehicle's power system, lighting system, and audio system are all turned off to prevent the risk of leakage, short circuit, or battery fire caused by the continued operation of the power system, lighting system, and audio system.

[0058] In step 205, based on the collision signal received by the airbag controller from the battery management system controller, the battery management system controller is controlled to disconnect the relay.

[0059] For example, the relay includes a main positive relay and a main negative relay. The main positive relay is the main relay on the positive terminal side of the power battery, and the main negative relay is the main relay on the negative terminal side of the power battery. When disconnecting the relays, if the main negative relay is disconnected first, a short circuit may easily occur because the line between the main positive relay and the main negative relay is relatively long. Therefore, the main positive relay is disconnected first, followed by the main negative relay.

[0060] Optionally, upon determining that the battery management system controller receives a collision signal from the airbag controller, the controller is instructed to disconnect the relays. This includes: first disconnecting the main positive relay, and then disconnecting the main negative relay after the main positive relay is disconnected. By disconnecting both the main positive and main negative relays, a short circuit and fire in the power battery after a collision can be prevented.

[0061] In step 206, based on the collision signal received by the on-board charger from the airbag controller, the on-board charger is controlled to stop charging and discharge.

[0062] In one possible implementation, upon determining that the on-board charger receives a collision signal from the airbag controller, the system controls the on-board charger to stop charging and discharge. This includes: the vehicle control system controlling the on-board charger to release stored electrical energy and stop charging the vehicle's power battery. By controlling the on-board charger to actively discharge and stop charging, safety issues such as fires or even explosions caused by short circuits between the positive and negative terminals of the battery during a collision are avoided.

[0063] In step 207, based on the power-down command issued by the vehicle controller obtained by the motor controller, the motor controller is controlled to reduce the voltage of the voltage bus to the reference value within the reference time period.

[0064] In one possible implementation, the voltage busbar is impacted during a vehicle collision, potentially causing insulation damage or damage to electrical equipment inside the vehicle, which could lead to hazards such as electric shock or fire. If the voltage on the high-voltage busbar is too high at this time, it may exacerbate the fault and cause injury to occupants inside the vehicle. Therefore, upon confirming that the motor controller receives a power-down command from the vehicle controller, the motor controller reduces the voltage on the voltage busbar to a reference value within a reference time period and actively discharges the vehicle's drive motor and power battery.

[0065] This application does not limit the reference duration; it can be determined based on the vehicle type and the corresponding duration limit for each type. This application also does not limit the reference voltage; for example, the reference voltage can be set to 30 volts AC or 60 volts DC based on experience.

[0066] In one possible implementation, based on the second detection result indicating that the vehicle collision scenario is not a vehicle stopped without power or in motion, a third detection result is obtained. This third detection result indicates whether the vehicle collision scenario involves charging or external discharge. Based on the third detection result indicating that the vehicle collision scenario involves charging or external discharge, the on-board charger is controlled to stop charging and discharge. The on-board charger converts the AC power from the charging station into DC power, which is then input to the vehicle's power battery.

[0067] For example, obtaining a third detection result to indicate whether the scenario in which the vehicle collision occurs is charging or external discharge includes: the vehicle control system obtaining the vehicle's charging and discharging status from the central control system via CAN, wherein the vehicle's charging and discharging status includes charging or external discharge.

[0068] In one possible implementation, after determining that the collision scenario indicated by the third detection result is charging or external discharge, controlling the on-board charger to stop charging and discharge includes: the vehicle control system controlling the on-board charger to stop charging the vehicle's power battery and release the stored electrical energy via PWM or CAN. At this time, the charging station also stops charging the vehicle. The reason for stopping charging and discharging during a collision is that gas is generated inside the power battery during charging. If a collision occurs during charging, it may damage the battery, leading to gas leakage and potentially even an explosion. Therefore, to ensure vehicle safety, charging and discharging must be stopped during a collision.

[0069] Optionally, the body controller receives a collision signal from the airbag controller; based on the collision signal received by the body controller from the airbag controller, the body controller performs at least one of the following operations: unlocking the door, illuminating the hazard warning lights, turning on the hazard lights, or displaying a warning message, to alert pedestrians or vehicles that a collision has occurred.

[0070] For example, if the information received by the body controller from the airbag controller via PWM or CAN includes a collision signal, then the body controller receives the collision signal from the airbag controller. Upon determining that the body controller has received the collision signal from the airbag controller, the vehicle control system controls the body controller to perform at least one of the following operations: unlocking the doors, illuminating the hazard warning lights, turning on the hazard flashers, or displaying a warning message, to alert pedestrians or the vehicle to a collision.

[0071] This application does not limit the prompts used for display. For example, a text prompt may be displayed saying "A vehicle collision has occurred, please take precautions" or "Pedestrians or vehicles around the vehicle that has collided should take precautions and ensure safety."

[0072] In this embodiment of the application, when a vehicle collision occurs, the airbag controller of the vehicle emits a collision signal. In cases where the vehicle collision occurs when the vehicle is stopped without power off or while the vehicle is in motion, at least one of the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, or on-board charger is controlled to acquire the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller, thereby enabling the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger to identify the vehicle collision.

[0073] Based on collision signals received from the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger, the system controls the vehicle controller to issue a power-down command, the battery management system controller to disconnect the relay, and the on-board charger to stop charging and discharge. This achieves power-off control for the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger in the event of a collision. If the motor controller receives a power-down command, it controls the motor controller to reduce the voltage of the voltage bus to a reference value within a reference time period. This prevents the voltage bus from becoming too high after a collision, and avoids the danger of damage to the voltage system caused by the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger not being powered off, thus ensuring vehicle safety.

[0074] See Figure 3 This application provides a device for cutting off power to a vehicle, and a schematic diagram of the device is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0075] The first acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the first detection result of the vehicle in the event of a collision. The first detection result is used to indicate whether the vehicle's airbag controller issues a collision signal.

[0076] The second acquisition module 302 is used to instruct the airbag controller to send a collision signal based on the first detection result and acquire the second detection result. The second detection result is used to indicate whether the scenario in which the vehicle collision occurs is when the vehicle is parked without power off or while the vehicle is in motion.

[0077] The first control module 303 is used to control at least one of the vehicle controller, battery management system controller or on-board charger to acquire the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller based on the second detection result indicating that the vehicle collision scenario is a vehicle stopped without power or a vehicle in motion.

[0078] The second control module 304 is used to control the vehicle controller to issue a power-down command based on the collision signal obtained by the vehicle controller from the airbag controller.

[0079] The third control module 305 is used to control the battery management system controller to disconnect the relay based on the collision signal sent by the airbag controller obtained by the battery management system controller.

[0080] The fourth control module 306 is used to control the on-board charger to stop charging and discharge based on the collision signal sent by the airbag controller obtained by the on-board charger;

[0081] The fifth control module 307 is used to control the motor controller to reduce the voltage of the voltage bus to a reference value within a reference time period based on the power-down command issued by the vehicle controller after the motor controller receives the power-down command.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the first acquisition module 301 is further configured to instruct the airbag controller to issue a collision signal based on the first detection result, and control the collision power-off switch to close. The collision power-off switch is located on the vehicle and is used to disconnect the output of the internal voltage of the power battery.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the second acquisition module 302 is further configured to acquire a third detection result based on the second detection result indicating that the vehicle collision scenario is not a vehicle that is not powered off and is parked or is in motion. The third detection result is used to indicate whether the vehicle collision scenario is charging or external discharge. Based on the third detection result indicating that the vehicle collision scenario is charging or external discharge, the on-board charger is controlled to stop charging and discharge.

[0084] In one possible implementation, the device further includes: a sixth control module for controlling the body controller to acquire a collision signal from the airbag controller; and a seventh control module for controlling the body controller to perform at least one of the following operations based on the collision signal received from the airbag controller: unlocking the door, illuminating the hazard warning lights, turning on the hazard lights, or displaying a warning message, in order to alert pedestrians or vehicles to a collision.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the first control module 303 is used to control at least one of the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, or on-board charger to acquire the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller via at least one of the bus or hardwire.

[0086] When a vehicle collision occurs, this device, based on the collision signal emitted by the vehicle's airbag controller, and in cases where the vehicle is stopped without power or while in motion, controls at least one of the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, or on-board charger to acquire the collision signal emitted by the airbag controller, thereby enabling the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger to identify the vehicle collision.

[0087] Based on collision signals received from the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger, the system controls the vehicle controller to issue a power-down command, the battery management system controller to disconnect the relay, and the on-board charger to stop charging and discharge. This achieves power-off control for the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger in the event of a collision. If the motor controller receives a power-down command, it controls the motor controller to reduce the voltage of the voltage bus to a reference value within a reference time period. This prevents the voltage bus from becoming too high after a collision, and avoids the danger of damage to the voltage system caused by the vehicle controller, battery management system controller, and on-board charger not being powered off, thus ensuring vehicle safety.

[0105] Optical sensor 1513 is used to collect ambient light intensity. In one embodiment, processor 1501 can control the display brightness of display screen 1505 based on the ambient light intensity collected by optical sensor 1513. Specifically, when the ambient light intensity is high, the display brightness of display screen 1505 is increased; when the ambient light intensity is low, the display brightness of display screen 1505 is decreased. In another embodiment, processor 1501 can also dynamically adjust the shooting parameters of camera assembly 1506 based on the ambient light intensity collected by optical sensor 1513.

[0106] The proximity sensor 1514, also known as a distance sensor, is typically installed on the front panel of the terminal. The proximity sensor 1514 is used to detect the distance between the user and the front of the terminal. In one embodiment, when the proximity sensor 1514 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal is gradually decreasing, the processor 1501 controls the display screen 1505 to switch from a screen-on state to a screen-off state; when the proximity sensor 1514 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal is gradually increasing, the processor 1501 controls the display screen 1505 to switch from a screen-off state to a screen-on state.
