Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a refueling control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Gasoline is the primary power source for vehicles. Due to the special nature and inherent dangers of gas stations, refueling presents significant safety hazards. For example, if a driver is negligent or otherwise causes the vehicle to be left running while refueling, or if the nozzle is left attached after refueling and the vehicle is driven with the nozzle towed, these actions can easily lead to dangerous situations and cause serious harm.

[0003] In related technologies, with the development of vehicle control technology, sensors installed at gas stations can detect the vehicle's status and transmit the data to the control system via electrical connections, thereby issuing corresponding instructions based on different situations. Alternatively, a solenoid valve on the engine fuel line can detect the status of the fuel tank cap and send the data to the control module, thus enabling detection and alerts during vehicle refueling.

[0004] However, in related technologies, the use of sensors installed at gas stations has low control accuracy and is difficult to implement because the vehicle and gas station detection systems are two independent systems. Adding extra devices increases costs and has poor reliability, so improvements are urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a refueling control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium to solve the problems in related technologies, such as low control accuracy during vehicle refueling, high construction difficulty in establishing related equipment, difficulty in implementation, increased cost due to additional equipment, and poor reliability.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a vehicle refueling control method, comprising the following steps: obtaining the current state of the vehicle, and determining whether the vehicle meets preset refueling conditions based on the current state; if the vehicle meets the preset refueling conditions, controlling the vehicle to enter a refueling mode, controlling the vehicle to enter a parking gear, opening the fuel tank cap, and controlling the vehicle to power off and turn off the engine; detecting the actual state of the fuel tank cap, and when the actual state is open, prohibiting the vehicle from engaging gear shifting until exiting the refueling mode, and allowing the vehicle to engage gear shifting when the actual state is closed.

[0007] Based on the above technical means, the embodiments of this application can realize one-click refueling after the vehicle enters the refueling mode, and prohibit the vehicle's gear shifting operation while the vehicle is in the refueling mode. The vehicle's gear shifting operation can only be responded to after the vehicle exits the refueling mode and the fuel tank cap is closed. This effectively prevents safety accidents caused by driving with the engine on and fuel nozzle off while the vehicle is in the refueling mode, improves the safety of vehicle refueling, reduces operation steps, improves control precision, and enhances the automation and intelligence of the vehicle.

[0008] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the process of prohibiting the response to the vehicle's gear shifting operation further includes: identifying the actual intention of the first driver; and if the actual intention is a gear shifting intention, generating a refueling risk warning to remind the driver.

[0009] Based on the above technical means, the embodiments of this application can send a refueling risk warning to the driver when the vehicle is in refueling mode and the driver intends to shift gears, so as to avoid some illegal operations by the driver when refueling the vehicle, ensure that the vehicle is refueled safely and smoothly, and improve the safety of refueling the vehicle.

[0010] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, after prohibiting the response to the vehicle's gear shifting operation, the method further includes: when the actual state is the off state, controlling the vehicle to exit the refueling mode, turning off the refueling prompt for the vehicle, and controlling the vehicle to power on.

[0011] Based on the above technical means, the embodiments of this application can exit the refueling mode with one click and power on the vehicle after the fuel tank cap is closed. The operation is simple and convenient, improves control precision, enhances the automation and intelligence of the vehicle, saves the driver's operation time, and improves the driver's satisfaction.

[0012] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, when the actual state is open, the method further includes: receiving a refueling command from the second driver; and prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap when the actual state is open.

[0013] Based on the above technical means, the embodiments of this application can check the actual status of the fuel tank cap after receiving the refueling command. When the actual status of the fuel tank cap is open, the driver is reminded to close the fuel tank cap, ensuring that the fuel tank cap is closed in a timely and accurate manner after the vehicle is refueled, preventing accidents caused by forgetting to close the fuel tank cap, and improving the safety of vehicle refueling.

[0014] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, after prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap, the method further includes: determining whether the actual state is the closed state within a first preset time period; and responding to the gear shifting operation if the actual state is detected to be the closed state within the first preset time period.

[0015] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the embodiments of this application can detect the status of the fuel tank cap again after prompting the driver to close the fuel tank cap, and only start responding to the vehicle's gear shifting operation after the fuel tank cap is closed. This avoids the increased fuel loss caused by not closing the fuel tank cap after refueling, which would increase the vehicle's operating costs. It also avoids the occurrence of safety accidents caused by not closing the fuel tank cap, thereby improving the vehicle's driving safety.

[0016] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, when prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap, the method further includes: detecting the number of times the second driver performs the gear shifting operation within a second preset time period; and responding to the gear shifting operation when the number of times is detected to be greater than the preset number.

[0017] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the embodiments of this application can detect the number of times the driver shifts gears when prompting the driver to close the fuel tank cap. If the number of shifts exceeds the preset number, the driver can respond to the shifting operation. At this time, it can be determined that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap of the vehicle. The driver can be promptly informed that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap and asked to repair it in time to avoid damage to the fuel tank and engine caused by the missing fuel tank cap, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0018] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, before controlling the vehicle to enter the refueling mode, the method further includes: collecting the actual vehicle speed; and allowing entry into the refueling mode when the actual vehicle speed is less than a preset refueling speed threshold.

[0019] Based on the above technical means, the embodiments of this application can use the actual speed of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle is powered off and turned off. Only after the vehicle speed is zero can the vehicle be allowed to enter the refueling mode, ensuring that the vehicle is powered off and turned off before refueling, so as to enter the vehicle refueling mode in a safe state and ensure the safety of vehicle refueling.

[0020] A second aspect of this application provides a vehicle refueling control device, comprising: an acquisition module, configured to acquire the current state of the vehicle and determine whether the vehicle meets preset refueling conditions based on the current state; a control module, configured to, when the vehicle meets the preset refueling conditions, control the vehicle to enter a refueling mode, control the vehicle to enter a parking gear, open the fuel tank cap, and control the vehicle to power off and shut off; and a first detection module, configured to detect the actual state of the fuel tank cap, and when the actual state is open, prohibit the vehicle from engaging gear shifting until exiting the refueling mode, and when the actual state is closed, allow the vehicle to engage gear shifting.

[0021] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, it further includes: an identification module, used to identify the actual intention of the first driver during the process of prohibiting the response to the gear shifting operation of the vehicle; and a generation module, used to generate a refueling risk warning to remind the driver when the actual intention is a gear shifting intention.

[0022] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, it further includes: an exit module, configured to, after prohibiting the response to the vehicle's gear shifting operation, when the actual state is the off state, control the vehicle to exit the refueling mode, turn off the refueling prompt for the vehicle, and control the vehicle to power on.

[0023] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, it further includes: a receiving module, configured to receive a refueling shut-off command from the second driver when the actual state is open; and a prompting module, configured to prompt the second driver to close the fuel tank cap when the actual state is open.

[0024] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, it further includes: a judgment module, configured to determine whether the actual state is the closed state within a first preset time period after prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap; and a first response module, configured to respond to the gear shifting operation when it is detected that the actual state is the closed state within the first preset time period.

[0025] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, it further includes: a second detection module, used to detect the number of times the second driver performs the gear shifting operation within a second preset time period when prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap; and a second response module, used to respond to the gear shifting operation when the number of times is detected to be greater than a preset number.

[0026] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, it further includes: a data acquisition module, used to acquire the actual vehicle speed before controlling the vehicle to enter the refueling mode; and an enabling module, used to enable entry into the refueling mode when the actual vehicle speed is less than a preset refueling speed threshold.

[0027] A third aspect of this application provides a vehicle, including: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the refueling control method for the vehicle as described in the above embodiments.

[0028] A fourth aspect of this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the vehicle refueling control method as described in the above embodiments.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0030] (1) The embodiments of this application can realize one-click refueling after the vehicle enters the refueling mode, and prohibit the vehicle's gear shifting operation while the vehicle is in the refueling mode. The vehicle's gear shifting operation can only be responded to after the vehicle exits the refueling mode and the fuel tank cap is closed. This effectively prevents safety accidents caused by driving with the fuel nozzle still running or without removing the nozzle while the vehicle is in the refueling mode, improves the safety of the vehicle during refueling, reduces the number of operation steps, improves the control precision, and enhances the automation and intelligence of the vehicle.

[0031] (2) In this embodiment of the application, when the vehicle is in refueling mode, if the driver intends to shift gears, a refueling risk warning can be sent to the driver to avoid some illegal operations by the driver when refueling the vehicle, so as to ensure that the vehicle is refueled safely and smoothly and improve safety.

[0032] (3) In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the instruction to close the refueling tank, the actual status of the fuel tank cap can be checked. When the actual status of the fuel tank cap is open, the driver is reminded to close the fuel tank cap. The driver is asked to close the fuel tank cap in a timely and accurate manner to prevent accidents caused by forgetting to close the fuel tank cap. When the fuel tank cap malfunctions, if the number of gear shifts is greater than the preset number, the gear shifting operation can be responded to. At this time, it can be determined that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap of the vehicle, and the driver is promptly informed that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap. The driver is asked to repair it in time to avoid damage to the fuel tank and engine caused by the missing fuel tank cap, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0033] (4) The embodiments of this application can control the vehicle to power on after the vehicle exits the refueling mode and closes the fuel tank cap, and respond to the vehicle's gear shifting operation. The operation is simple and convenient, saves the driver's operation, improves satisfaction, and is more intelligent to implement, enhancing the vehicle's automation and intelligence.

[0044] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0045] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a refueling control method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the issues of low control precision during vehicle refueling, high construction difficulty in establishing related equipment, increased costs due to additional equipment, and poor reliability mentioned in the background art, this application provides a vehicle refueling control method. This method enables one-click refueling after the vehicle enters refueling mode, reducing driver operation steps and improving vehicle automation and intelligence. While the vehicle is in refueling mode, the driver is prohibited from shifting gears, effectively preventing safety accidents caused by refueling and improving refueling safety. Furthermore, this method directly utilizes existing vehicle components without adding extra parts, saving costs. Therefore, it solves the problems of low control precision during vehicle refueling, high construction difficulty in establishing related equipment, increased costs due to additional equipment, and poor reliability in the related art.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle refueling control method according to an embodiment of this application.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the refueling control method for this vehicle includes the following steps:

[0048] In step S101, the current status of the vehicle is obtained, and it is determined whether the vehicle meets the preset refueling conditions based on the current status.

[0049] It is understood that the current state of the vehicle can be, but is not limited to, whether the vehicle key is turned on, whether the vehicle speed is zero, whether the vehicle's fuel level is low, whether the fuel gauge on the vehicle's dashboard is below one-quarter of the fuel tank level, and whether the vehicle has entered a gas station. Furthermore, the preset refueling conditions can be, but are not limited to, the vehicle key being off, the vehicle speed being zero, the vehicle's fuel level being low, and the fuel gauge on the vehicle's dashboard being below one-quarter of the fuel tank level; this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0050] Specifically, the embodiments of this application can obtain the current status of the vehicle based on the VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) and the intelligent cockpit control unit, and identify whether the current status of the vehicle meets certain refueling conditions through the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus, making it more intelligent.

[0051] In addition, the preset refueling conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0052] As one possible implementation, embodiments of this application can determine whether a vehicle meets the refueling conditions based on the current state of the vehicle. When the vehicle is currently in a turned-off state and the fuel tank alarm is triggered, it can be determined that the preset refueling conditions are met, thereby preparing the vehicle for refueling, which is more intelligent.

[0053] In step S102, if the vehicle meets the preset refueling conditions, the vehicle is controlled to enter the refueling mode, the vehicle is controlled to enter the parking gear, the fuel tank cap of the vehicle is opened, and the vehicle is controlled to power off and turn off.

[0054] It is understood that the vehicle's refueling mode is a vehicle function that the driver can choose and set independently. This can be displayed on the in-vehicle screen, set using vehicle buttons, selected using the vehicle key, or added to the driver's mobile phone. The specific setting method can be configured by those skilled in the art according to actual circumstances, and this application does not impose specific limitations. Furthermore, the method for setting the vehicle to enter the parking gear and the method for setting the vehicle to power off and turn off can be, but is not limited to, the in-vehicle display screen, vehicle buttons, and vehicle key; this application does not impose specific limitations. In addition, the method for opening the vehicle's fuel tank cap can be automatic or manual; this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0055] For example, when the fuel gauge on the vehicle's dashboard is below one-quarter of the fuel tank level, and the driver clicks the fuel button on the in-vehicle display screen, the vehicle enters fueling mode. At this time, after the VCU receives the fueling mode as activated, the intelligent cockpit control unit can transmit the fueling signal to the CAN bus. The VCU controls the current vehicle to enter P gear (parking gear) and automatically controls the vehicle to open the fuel tank cap. Subsequently, it controls the vehicle to complete operations such as power off and engine shutdown.

[0056] As one possible implementation, embodiments of this application can complete the refueling operation of a vehicle with one click when the vehicle meets preset refueling conditions. For example, the VCU can be used to control the vehicle to enter the refueling mode, and then the VCU can be used to control the vehicle to enter the parking gear, automatically open the fuel tank cap, and control the vehicle to power off and turn off the engine.

[0057] This application embodiment allows for one-click refueling once the vehicle meets the refueling conditions. The operation is convenient and simple, saving the driver's operation time and avoiding safety accidents caused by driver misoperation or negligence. In addition, it is quicker and easier to implement, better meeting the needs of drivers' daily use, improving driver satisfaction, and enhancing the automation and intelligence of the vehicle.

[0058] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, before controlling the vehicle to enter the refueling mode, the method further includes: collecting the actual vehicle speed; and allowing the vehicle to enter the refueling mode when the actual vehicle speed is less than a preset refueling speed threshold.

[0059] It is understood that the methods for collecting vehicle speed data can include, but are not limited to, using sensors to collect vehicle speed data, receiving vehicle speed data through a controller, and engine speed data collection, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations. Furthermore, the preset refueling speed threshold can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and is not specifically limited here.

[0060] In actual implementation, before controlling the vehicle to enter the refueling mode, this application embodiment also needs to determine the actual vehicle speed. If the actual vehicle speed meets the refueling speed threshold, it is determined that the vehicle can be safely refueled, and then the vehicle can be allowed to enter the refueling mode; otherwise, the vehicle is not allowed to enter the refueling mode.

[0061] For example, in an embodiment of this application, when the VCU detects that the vehicle's actual speed is less than the refueling speed threshold via sensors, the vehicle is allowed to enter refueling mode after the driver clicks the refueling button on the in-vehicle display screen. If the vehicle's actual speed is not less than the refueling speed threshold, it indicates that the vehicle cannot refuel safely or does not meet the conditions for refueling. In this case, the vehicle is not allowed to enter refueling mode after the driver clicks the refueling button on the in-vehicle display screen, and the vehicle's current state is maintained.

[0062] This application embodiment can prevent the vehicle from entering refueling mode when the actual vehicle speed does not meet the refueling speed threshold, effectively avoiding some illegal operations by the driver when refueling the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle is refueled safely and smoothly, and improving the safety of vehicle refueling.

[0063] In step S103, the actual state of the fuel tank cap is detected, and when the actual state is open, the vehicle's gear shifting operation is prohibited until the refueling mode is exited. When the actual state is closed, the gear shifting operation is allowed.

[0064] It is understandable that the state of the fuel tank cap can be, but is not limited to, open, closed, or faulty. The detection methods for the fuel tank cap can be, but are not limited to, opening degree detection, electrical signal detection, or image detection.

[0065] As one possible implementation, this application embodiment can also detect the actual state of the fuel tank cap in real time during the vehicle refueling process. If the fuel tank cap is open, it indicates that the vehicle is refueling. Shifting gears is an unsafe operation. Therefore, to ensure the safety of the vehicle, the driver, and others, responding to the vehicle's gear shifting operation is prohibited. After the vehicle exits the refueling mode and the fuel tank cap is closed, responding to the vehicle's gear shifting operation is permissible.

[0066] For example, when the vehicle is in refueling mode, this embodiment of the application can use the VCU to identify whether the fuel tank cap is open via a fuel tank cap detection device. If the fuel tank cap is open, it indicates that the vehicle is refueling. To ensure safety, shifting gears is prohibited, such as reversing, driving, or neutral. After the fuel tank cap is closed, the vehicle can respond to gear shifting operations.

[0067] This embodiment of the application can prevent the vehicle from responding to the driver's gear shifting operation when the vehicle's fuel tank cap is open, until the vehicle exits the refueling mode and the fuel tank cap is closed, at which point the vehicle can respond to gear shifting operation, thus avoiding accidents caused by the vehicle not removing the fuel nozzle and improving the safety of vehicle refueling.

[0068] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the process of prohibiting the vehicle from shifting gears further includes: identifying the actual intention of the first driver; and generating a refueling risk warning to remind the driver if the actual intention is to shift gears.

[0069] It is understood that the driver's actual intention may be, but is not limited to, shifting gears, resting, etc. Furthermore, in this application embodiment, the driver's actual intention can be identified by an image sensor. When the image sensor detects that the driver is shifting gears, the driver's actual intention is determined to be shifting gears. Alternatively, the controller can receive the driver's operation signal. When the controller receives the driver's shifting signal, the driver's actual intention is determined to be shifting gears. The vehicle's engine can also be detected. When the vehicle's engine is detected to be starting, the driver's actual intention is determined to be shifting gears, etc. The specific method of identifying the driver's actual intention can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation. This application does not impose any specific limitations.

[0070] Furthermore, refueling risk warnings can be provided through, but are not limited to, voice prompts generated by acoustic devices, light prompts generated by optical devices, and video prompts generated by video devices. Acoustic devices can include, but are not limited to, in-vehicle audio systems, in-vehicle microphones, in-vehicle amplifiers, speakers, and AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System), which can be installed in locations such as the center console, A-pillars, B-pillars, headliner, doors, and trunk. Optical devices can include, but are not limited to, cameras, optical sensors, and interior lights, which can be installed at the front, rear, and around the vehicle. Video devices can include, but are not limited to, in-vehicle displays and HUDs (Head-Up Displays), which can be installed at the front of the vehicle or behind the seats, and HUDs can be installed at the front of the vehicle.

[0071] For example, in the process of prohibiting the vehicle from shifting gears, the intelligent cockpit control unit can control the HUD installed on the front of the vehicle to provide text prompts to remind the driver to close the fuel tank cap before driving to avoid disturbing others. If the driver sees the text prompt and the VCU detects that the driver still intends to shift gears, the intelligent cockpit control unit can control the speaker installed on the front of the vehicle to provide voice prompts to remind the driver to close the fuel tank cap before driving.

[0072] This application embodiment can detect the driver's intention to shift gears during the vehicle refueling process and prohibit the driver from doing so through multi-dimensional prompts. This minimizes the possibility of the driver failing to remove the fuel nozzle during refueling due to misoperation or other reasons, thus ensuring vehicle driving safety.

[0073] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, when the actual state is open, the method further includes: receiving a refueling command from the second driver; and prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap when the actual state is open.

[0074] It is understandable that the refueling shutdown command can be generated by triggering the refueling shutdown button on the vehicle display screen, or by automatically triggering the refueling full indicator on the vehicle dashboard, or by selecting it via a mobile phone. This application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0075] Furthermore, the prompt to close the fuel tank cap can be displayed via text on the HUD at the front of the vehicle controlled by the smart cockpit control unit, or via voice prompt through the speaker controlled by the smart cockpit control unit; this application does not impose any specific limitations.

[0076] As one possible implementation, this application embodiment can prompt the driver to close the fuel tank cap when the fuel tank cap is open after receiving the driver's instruction to close the refueling.

[0077] For example, in this embodiment of the application, when the driver triggers the refueling shut-off button on the vehicle display screen to prepare to end the refueling process, if the VCU detects that the fuel tank cap is open, it means that the vehicle is still refueling. Closing it abruptly at this time could be dangerous. Therefore, the intelligent cockpit control unit can use the speaker to give a voice prompt to the driver that the fuel tank cap is not closed and asks the driver to close the fuel tank cap before driving.

[0078] This application embodiment can check the actual status of the fuel tank cap after receiving the driver's instruction to close the refueling tank. When the fuel tank cap is in the open state, it reminds the driver to close the fuel tank cap, ensuring that the fuel tank cap is closed in a timely and accurate manner after the vehicle is refueled, preventing accidents caused by forgetting to close the fuel tank cap, and improving the safety of vehicle refueling.

[0079] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, after prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap, the method further includes: determining whether the actual state is closed within a first preset time period; and responding to a gear shifting operation if the actual state is detected to be closed within the first preset time period.

[0080] It is understood that the first preset duration can be the driver's reaction time or the operation time for the fuel tank cap to close automatically. The size of the preset duration can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0081] In some embodiments, after prompting the driver to close the fuel tank cap, the system can check again within a preset time period whether the fuel tank cap is closed, and respond to the driver's gear shifting operation if the fuel tank cap is closed.

[0082] For example, after the intelligent cockpit control unit uses a speaker to give a voice prompt to the driver to close the fuel tank cap, the driver can click on the operation to close the fuel tank cap on the vehicle display screen. After 3 minutes, the system will check again to see if the fuel tank cap is closed. Once it is confirmed that the fuel tank cap is actually closed, the vehicle can engage gears and drive normally.

[0083] This embodiment of the application can detect the status of the fuel tank cap again after reminding the driver to close the fuel tank cap, and respond to the vehicle's gear shifting operation after the fuel tank cap is closed. This avoids increased fuel loss due to the fuel tank cap not being closed after refueling, which would increase the vehicle's operating costs, effectively prevent safety accidents, and improve vehicle driving safety.

[0084] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, when prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap, the method further includes: detecting the number of times the second driver engages gear shifting within a second preset time period; and responding to the gear shifting operation when the detected number exceeds the preset number.

[0085] It is understood that the second preset duration can be the response time for the driver to engage gears, or the reaction time for a vehicle that fails to close the fuel tank cap; this application does not impose specific limitations. The preset number of times is a positive integer, such as once, twice, etc.; this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0086] In actual implementation, when the fuel tank cap is closed, the embodiment of this application detects the number of times the driver shifts gears. If the number of shifts exceeds a preset number, the shifting operation can be responded to normally.

[0087] For example, if a driver receives a voice prompt to close the fuel tank cap and then closes the fuel tank cap, and then engages gear again within 3 seconds, it can be determined that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap, and the vehicle can be driven normally.

[0088] This application embodiment can detect the number of times the driver shifts gears when prompting the driver to close the fuel tank cap. If the number of shifts exceeds a preset number, the system can respond to the driver's gear shifting operation and further determine that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap. The system can then promptly inform the driver that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap and ask the driver to repair it in time to avoid damage to the fuel tank and engine caused by the missing fuel tank cap, thereby improving vehicle driving safety.

[0089] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, after prohibiting the vehicle's gear shifting operation, the method further includes: when the actual state is off, controlling the vehicle to exit the refueling mode, turning off the refueling prompt for the vehicle, and controlling the vehicle to power on.

[0090] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the vehicle can be controlled to exit the refueling mode by triggering the exit refueling button on the vehicle display screen, or the vehicle can be controlled to exit the refueling mode by triggering the mobile phone. This application does not make any specific limitations.

[0091] As one possible implementation, in this embodiment of the application, after the vehicle has finished refueling and the fuel tank cap has been closed, a single button can be used to control the vehicle to exit refueling mode, turn off the refueling prompt, and control the vehicle to power on.

[0092] For example, if the VCU detects that the fuel tank cap is closed, it indicates that refueling is complete. The vehicle can then exit refueling mode and automatically power on. Furthermore, the intelligent cockpit control unit automatically disables text and voice prompts during refueling. At this point, refueling is complete, and the vehicle can exit refueling mode with a single button press and resume normal driving.

[0093] In this embodiment, after refueling and closing the fuel tank cap, the vehicle can exit refueling mode with a single button and power on. This simple and convenient operation enhances the vehicle's automation and intelligence, saves the driver's time, improves driver satisfaction, and prevents traffic accidents caused by driver error after refueling, thus improving vehicle driving safety.

That is, in this embodiment of the application, when the current vehicle speed meets the refueling speed threshold and the current vehicle speed is 0 km / h, the vehicle is allowed to enter the refueling mode, and step S2 is executed.

[0099] Step S2: Determine whether the refueling button is clicked. If the driver does not click the refueling button on the vehicle display screen, proceed to step S3. If the driver clicks the refueling button on the vehicle display screen, proceed to step S4.

[0100] Step S3: Maintain the vehicle's current state.

[0101] Step S4: The VCU controls the vehicle to enter the parking position. The intelligent cockpit control unit transmits the refueling signal to the CAN bus. Upon receiving the refueling mode as enabled, the VCU controls the vehicle to enter the parking position and continues with step S5.

[0102] Step S5: The VCU controls the vehicle to open the fuel tank cap, and then controls the vehicle to complete operations such as power off and engine shutdown.

[0103] Step S202: The vehicle is in refueling mode, achieving the following: Figure 4 The control flow shown executes the following steps:

[0104] Step S1: When the vehicle is in refueling mode, this embodiment of the application can use the VCU to identify whether the fuel tank cap is open through the fuel tank cap detection device. If the fuel tank cap is open, proceed to step S2.

[0105] Step S2: If the fuel tank cap is open, do not engage any gears, such as reverse, forward, or neutral. Use the intelligent cockpit control unit to control the HUD installed on the front of the vehicle to provide text prompts. Then proceed to step S3.

[0106] Step S3: Determine if the driver intends to shift gears. If the driver intends to shift gears, proceed to step S4.

[0107] Step S4: Prohibit the vehicle from engaging gears and use the intelligent cockpit control unit to control the speaker installed on the front of the vehicle to provide voice prompts, reminding the driver to close the fuel tank cap before driving, to avoid driving with the fuel nozzle towed, and to ensure the safety of the vehicle when refueling.

[0108] Step S203: The vehicle exits refueling mode, achieving the following: Figure 5 The control flow shown executes the following steps:

[0109] Step S1: Detect whether the fuel tank cap is closed. If the VCU detects that the fuel tank cap is closed, proceed to step S2. If the fuel tank is not closed, proceed to step S3.

[0110] Step S2: Closing the fuel tank cap indicates that refueling is complete and the vehicle has exited refueling mode. At this time, the VCU can automatically control the vehicle to exit refueling mode and automatically power on. The intelligent cockpit control unit can automatically turn off text prompts, voice prompts, and other notification information in refueling mode, and the vehicle can be driven normally.

[0111] Step S3: The vehicle is in refueling mode. When the driver triggers the refueling shut-off button on the vehicle display, the VCU detects that the fuel tank cap is open and proceeds to step S4.

[0112] Step S4: Provide text and voice prompts. Text prompts can be provided via the HUD installed on the front of the vehicle, controlled by the intelligent cockpit control unit. Voice prompts can also be provided via the speaker, such as: "The fuel tank cap is not closed. Please close the fuel tank cap before driving." Proceed to step S5.

[0113] Step S5: If the driver receives the voice prompt and performs the operation of closing the fuel tank cap, determine whether the driver will perform the gear shifting operation again within 3 seconds. If the driver shifts gears again, proceed to step S7.

[0114] Step S6: Check the fuel tank cap again within 3 minutes. If the fuel tank cap is found to be closed, it indicates that the vehicle can be driven normally.

[0115] Step S7: The vehicle can be driven normally by engaging gears. At this point, it can be determined that there is a problem with the fuel tank cap. The driver should be informed of the problem in a timely manner and asked to repair it promptly. This prevents the vehicle from being unable to drive when the fuel tank cap is faulty and cannot be closed. It also avoids the safety accident caused by the driver not knowing that the fuel tank cap is damaged and failing to repair it in time, thus improving the driving safety of the vehicle.

[0116] The vehicle refueling control method proposed in this application allows for one-click refueling after the vehicle enters refueling mode, reducing driver operation steps and improving vehicle automation and intelligence. While the vehicle is in refueling mode, the driver is prohibited from shifting gears, effectively preventing safety accidents caused by refueling and improving refueling safety. It directly utilizes existing vehicle components without adding extra parts, saving costs. After the vehicle exits refueling mode, the status of the fuel tank cap is monitored in real time. If the fuel tank cap malfunctions, the driver is promptly notified, and normal gear shifting and driving are possible. This effectively prevents situations where the vehicle cannot move due to a faulty fuel tank cap, and avoids accidents caused by the driver being unaware of fuel tank cap damage and failure to repair it in time, thus improving vehicle driving safety. Therefore, this method solves the problems of low control precision during vehicle refueling, high construction difficulty in establishing related equipment, implementation challenges, increased costs due to additional equipment, and poor reliability in related technologies.

[0117] Next, referring to the accompanying drawings, a vehicle refueling control device according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0119] like Figure 6 As shown, the refueling control device 10 of the vehicle includes: an acquisition module 100, a control module 200, and a first detection module 300.

[0120] Specifically, the acquisition module 100 is used to acquire the current status of the vehicle and determine whether the vehicle meets the preset refueling conditions based on the current status.

[0121] The control module 200 is used to control the vehicle to enter the refueling mode, control the vehicle to enter the parking gear, open the fuel tank cap, and control the vehicle to power off and turn off the engine when the vehicle meets the preset refueling conditions.

[0122] The first detection module 300 is used to detect the actual state of the fuel tank cap. When the actual state is open, it prohibits the vehicle from engaging gear shifting until the refueling mode is exited. When the actual state is closed, it allows the vehicle to engage gear shifting.

[0123] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the vehicle refueling control device 10 further includes an identification module and a generation module.

[0124] The identification module is used to identify the actual intention of the first driver during the process of prohibiting the vehicle from shifting gears.

[0125] The generation module is used to generate a refueling risk warning when the actual intention is to shift gears, in order to remind the driver.

[0126] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the vehicle refueling control device 10 further includes an exit module.

[0127] The exit module is used to control the vehicle to exit the refueling mode and turn off the refueling prompt when the actual state is off after the vehicle's gear shifting operation is prohibited. It also controls the vehicle to power on.

[0128] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the vehicle refueling control device 10 further includes a receiving module and a prompting module.

[0129] The receiving module is used to receive the second driver's command to close the refueling when the actual state is open.

[0130] The prompting module is used to prompt the second driver to close the fuel tank cap when the actual state is open.

[0131] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the vehicle refueling control device 10 further includes a judgment module and a first response module.

[0132] The judgment module is used to determine whether the actual state is closed within a first preset time period after prompting the second driver to close the fuel tank cap.

[0133] The first response module is used to respond to the gear shifting operation when the actual state is detected to be closed within a first preset time period.

[0134] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the vehicle refueling control device 10 further includes: a second detection module and a second response module.

[0135] The second detection module is used to detect the number of times the second driver engages gear shifting within a second preset time period when the second driver is prompted to close the fuel tank cap.

[0136] The second response module is used to respond to the gear shifting operation when the number of detected values ​​exceeds the preset number.

[0137] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the vehicle refueling control device 10 further includes a data acquisition module and an authorization module.

[0138] The data acquisition module is used to collect the vehicle's actual speed before controlling the vehicle to enter refueling mode.

[0139] The permission module is used to allow entry into refueling mode when the actual vehicle speed is less than a preset refueling speed threshold.

[0140] It should be noted that the explanation of the above-described embodiment of the vehicle refueling control method also applies to the vehicle refueling control device of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0141] The vehicle refueling control device proposed in this application embodiment enables one-button refueling after the vehicle enters refueling mode, reducing driver operation steps and improving vehicle automation and intelligence. While the vehicle is in refueling mode, the driver is prohibited from shifting gears, effectively preventing safety accidents caused by refueling and improving refueling safety. It directly utilizes existing vehicle components without adding extra parts, saving costs. After the vehicle exits refueling mode, the status of the fuel tank cap is monitored in real time. If the fuel tank cap malfunctions, the driver is promptly notified, and normal gear shifting and driving are possible. This effectively prevents situations where the vehicle cannot move due to a faulty fuel tank cap, and avoids accidents caused by the driver being unaware of fuel tank cap damage and failure to repair it in time, thus improving vehicle driving safety. Therefore, it solves the problems of low control precision during vehicle refueling, high construction difficulty in establishing related equipment, implementation challenges, increased costs due to additional equipment, and poor reliability in related technologies.
