Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle information display technology, specifically to a method, device, equipment, and medium for displaying vehicle air suspension height. Background Technology

[0002] For vehicles equipped with air suspension, the air suspension height can be adjusted via the Air Suspension Control System (ASC) to improve vehicle comfort. During the adjustment process, the air suspension height can be displayed via the central infotainment screen (IVI) using a human-machine interface (HMI), allowing the driver to monitor the air suspension status in real time.

[0003] Air suspension height has a stable height node and an intermediate height between the stable height node. The ASC system also has multiple adjustment states, including adjustable and non-adjustable. There are two methods for displaying air suspension height in related technologies. One method displays the stable height when the air suspension reaches its stable height and displays "adjusting" when the air suspension is in the intermediate height. This method may result in a mismatch between the displayed adjustment status and the actual vehicle height. The other method displays all heights based on the current actual air suspension height. This method leads to a large number of displayed heights and cannot accurately represent the current state of the air suspension. Summary of the Invention

[0063] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0064] First, some of the technical terms used in this application will be explained to help those skilled in the art understand this application.

[0065] ASC: Air Suspension Control System;

[0066] IVI: Central control screen;

[0067] HMI: Human-Computer Interface.

[0068] 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.

[0069] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for displaying the height of a vehicle's air suspension.

[0070] In one embodiment, the vehicle air suspension height display method provided in this application includes: determining the air suspension display height based on the vehicle power status, the current actual height of the air suspension, and the ASC system status, and then displaying it.

[0071] It is worth noting that the vehicle power status in this embodiment includes two states: ON and OFF. When the vehicle power status is ON, it indicates that the vehicle is powered on. When the vehicle power status is OFF, it indicates that the vehicle is powered off.

[0072] In this embodiment, the air suspension height is divided into two categories: stable height and intermediate height. The stable height is a height node set in the suspension height adjustment mileage and can be selected as the target height for the air suspension. The intermediate height is the height between the two stable heights. Furthermore, the stable height can be divided into different levels, and the number of levels and the position of the level nodes can be set according to the air suspension adjustment mileage and adjustment requirements.

[0073] Exemplary, such as Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the air suspension stability height settings include the highest stability height (Very high level), the highest stability height (High-level), the middle stability height (Normal level), the lowest stability height (Low level), and the lowest stability height (Very low level). All five stability height settings can be selected as the target height; therefore, the target air suspension height can be any one of the following: highest stability height, highest stability height, middle stability height, lowest stability height, or lowest stability height.

[0074] The intermediate height is located between the stable heights. The intermediate heights include: the intermediate height between the highest gear and the highest gear (between very high and high level), the intermediate height between the high gear and the middle gear (between high and normal level), the intermediate height between the middle gear and the low gear (between normal and low level), and the intermediate height between the low gear and the lowest gear (between low and very low level).

[0075] The ASC system has four states: the first state, AxisLifting, indicates that the ASC system is in normal condition and is in the lifting process; the second state, AxisLowering, indicates that the ASC system is in normal condition and is in the lowering process; the third state, AxisHolding, indicates that the ASC system is in normal condition and is in the adjustment completed state; and the fourth state, Function Shutdown, indicates that the ASC system is malfunctioning.

[0076] The following is combined Figure 1 This application describes the specific method for determining the air suspension display height based on the vehicle's power status, the current actual height of the air suspension, and the ASC system status.

[0077] After initializing the ASC and IVI systems, the first step is to determine the vehicle's power status. When the vehicle's power status is OFF, it indicates the vehicle is powered down, and no air suspension adjustment will be performed. The IVI screen will also be black, thus the air suspension height display logic is not involved. If the vehicle's power status is ON, it's necessary to further determine whether the ASC air suspension adjustment process occurs within the same power-on cycle or after a vehicle power-on / off cycle. This requires considering whether the vehicle's power status data from the previous moment showed a transition from OFF to ON.

[0078] The specific determination method is as follows: if the current vehicle power status is ON, and the previous vehicle power status was OFF, it indicates that the vehicle has experienced a power-on / off cycle; if the current vehicle power status is ON, and the previous vehicle power status was ON, it indicates that the vehicle has been continuously powered on. The air suspension height display logic differs depending on whether the vehicle is experiencing a power-on / off cycle or is continuously powered on. This will be explained below with reference to specific implementation examples.

[0079] In one embodiment, when the vehicle is powered on or off, determining the air suspension display height based on the vehicle's power status, the current actual height of the air suspension, and the ASC system status includes: when the vehicle's power status is ON and the previous moment's power status was OFF, determining whether the current actual height of the air suspension is a steady-state height. If yes, then the current actual height of the air suspension is used as the air suspension display height; otherwise, the air suspension display height is determined based on the ASC system status and the relative position of the current actual height of the air suspension and the target height of the air suspension.

[0080] As an example, when it is determined that the vehicle is powered on or off, the system first checks whether the current actual height of the air suspension is within one of the five steady-state heights mentioned above. If so, the current actual height of the air suspension is displayed directly, without needing to consider the status of the ASC system. If the current actual height of the air suspension is a non-steady-state height (i.e., within the intermediate heights mentioned above), the display height of the air suspension needs to be further determined based on the ASC system status and the relative position of the current actual height of the air suspension to the target height of the air suspension, and then displayed accordingly.

[0081] Furthermore, determining the air suspension display height based on the ASC system status and the relative position of the current actual height of the air suspension and the target height of the air suspension includes: determining whether there is an abnormality in the ASC system status; if so, determining the air suspension display height based on the relative position of the current actual height of the air suspension and the target height of the air suspension; otherwise, directly displaying that the ASC system is in adjustment mode.

[0082] As an example, when the vehicle is powered on or off, if the current actual height of the air suspension is a non-steady-state height (i.e., intermediate height), it is determined whether the ASC system is in the fourth state (ASC system malfunction). If the ASC system is not in the fourth state (i.e., ASC system is not malfunctioning), it means that the ASC can adjust the air suspension normally. The height can be displayed when the air suspension is adjusted to a stable height. Therefore, the IVI is directly controlled to display the current height of the air suspension as "adjusting", indicating that the ASC system is in the adjustment state.

[0083] When the IVI directly displays the current air suspension height as being adjusted, the specific display rules are as follows: if the air suspension is adjusted from low to high, the IVI directly displays that the ASC is in the first state, AxisLifting; if the air suspension is adjusted from high to low, the IVI directly displays that the ASC is in the second state, AxisLowering.

[0084] If the ASC system is in state four, it indicates that there is an abnormality in the ASC system. This means that the ASC cannot adjust the air suspension normally, and the air suspension may not be able to adjust to a stable height before displaying the height. Therefore, the height needs to be displayed so that the driver can understand the suspension height status.

[0085] It is understandable that when the vehicle power is ON, the air suspension will not be at the middle height and the ASC system will not be in the third state at the same time; this will only happen when the power is OFF.

[0086] Furthermore, determining the air suspension display height based on the relative position of the current actual height of the air suspension and the target height of the air suspension includes: determining whether the current actual height of the air suspension is within the steady-state height range of two adjacent gears before and after the target height of the air suspension; if so, then, based on the adjustment direction of the air suspension, the steady-state height before the target height of the air suspension is taken as the air suspension display height; otherwise, the steady-state height closest to the current actual height of the air suspension is taken as the air suspension display height.

[0087] It's worth noting that when the vehicle is powered on or off, if the air suspension's current actual height is a non-steady-state height (i.e., at an intermediate height) and the ASC system is in state four, it determines whether the current ASC height is between the two steady-state heights before and after the target height. If so, the IVI displays the height one level before the target height according to the ASC adjustment direction and the principle of displaying the previous value in the adjustment direction. This avoids the situation where the vehicle resumes adjustment after the unadjustable conditions are met, but the height does not change, and also avoids directly displaying an unknown position, leaving the driver unclear about the current suspension height status.

[0088] Exemplary, such as Figure 2As shown, when the vehicle is powered on or off, and the current actual height of the air suspension is between the high-gear stable height and the mid-gear stable height, and the ASC system is malfunctioning, and the target height of the air suspension is the mid-gear stable height, it can be determined that the stable heights of the two gears adjacent to the target height are the high-gear stable height and the low-gear stable height. The current actual height of the air suspension is within the range of these two gears, and the air suspension is adjusted from top to bottom. Therefore, the air suspension height will reach the high-gear stable height before reaching the target height (i.e., the mid-gear stable height). Thus, the high-gear stable height is used as the air suspension display height for IVI display to avoid displaying an unknown position, which would cause the driver to be unclear about the current suspension height status.

[0089] like Figure 3 As shown, when the vehicle is powered on or off, and the current actual height of the air suspension is the middle height between the highest gear and the highest gear, and the ASC system is malfunctioning, and the target height of the air suspension is the stable height of the middle gear, it can be determined that the current actual height of the air suspension is not within the range of the stable height of the highest gear and the stable height of the lowest gear. However, the distance between the current actual height of the air suspension and the stable height of the highest gear is the closest. Therefore, the stable height of the highest gear is used as the air suspension display height for IVI display.

[0090] In one embodiment, when the vehicle is always powered on, determining the air suspension display height based on the vehicle power status, the current actual height of the air suspension, and the ASC system status further includes: when the vehicle power status is ON, and the vehicle power status was ON at the previous moment, determining whether the current actual height of the air suspension is a steady-state height; if so, then using the current actual height of the air suspension as the air suspension display height; otherwise, determining the air suspension display height based on the ASC system status combined with the current actual height of the air suspension and the air suspension adjustment process.

[0091] As an example, when the vehicle is always powered on, the system first determines whether the current actual height of the air suspension is within one of the five steady-state heights mentioned above. If so, the current actual height of the air suspension is displayed directly, without needing to consider the status of the ASC system. If the current height is a non-steady-state height (i.e., within the intermediate heights mentioned above), the air suspension display height needs to be determined based on the ASC system status, combined with the current actual height of the air suspension and the air suspension adjustment process, and then displayed accordingly.

[0092] Furthermore, determining the air suspension display height based on the ASC system status combined with the current actual height of the air suspension and the air suspension adjustment process includes: determining whether there is an abnormality in the ASC system status; if so, determining the air suspension display height based on the current actual height of the air suspension and the air suspension adjustment process; otherwise, directly displaying that the ASC system is in adjustment mode.

[0093] The step of determining the air suspension display height based on the current actual height of the air suspension and the air suspension adjustment process includes: taking a steady-state height reached before reaching the current actual height of the air suspension as the air suspension display height.

[0094] It is worth noting that if the vehicle is always powered on, the current actual height of the air suspension is a non-steady-state height (i.e., at the intermediate height), and there is an anomaly in the ASC system, then the IVI will display the previous steady-state height based on the ASC adjustment process and the principle of sending the previous value according to the order of adjustment actions.

[0095] It's important to understand that when the vehicle is constantly powered on, ASC is aware of the entire adjustment process. For example, if the current real-time height of the air suspension is the steady-state height at the mid-range setting, and the target height is the steady-state height at the high-range setting, and during the adjustment process, the ASC system experiences an anomaly and interrupts the process, then requests the steady-state height at the low-range setting as the target height, the displayed height will not be determined according to the adjustment direction, but will only be displayed based on the steady-state height before the system anomaly.

[0096] Exemplary, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the vehicle is always powered on, the current actual height of the air suspension is the middle height between the high and medium settings. When the ASC system is malfunctioning and the target height of the air suspension is the stable height of the medium setting, it can be determined that the air suspension is adjusted from top to bottom. Therefore, the air suspension height has reached the stable height of the high setting before reaching the current actual height. Thus, the stable height of the high setting is used as the air suspension display height for IVI display.

[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, when the vehicle is always powered on, the current actual height of the air suspension is the intermediate height between the highest gear and the highest gear. The ASC system is abnormal. The initial target height of the air suspension is the stable height of the highest gear. If the target height adjustment signal is received again and the target height is adjusted to the stable height of the lower gear, then the air suspension height will reach the stable height of the higher gear before reaching the current actual height. Therefore, the stable height of the higher gear is used as the air suspension display height for IVI display.

[0098] The aforementioned height display logic can be stored in the ASC and IVI software and run independently, aiming to provide users with a clearer and more intuitive IVI air suspension height HMI interaction.

[0099] This embodiment provides a method for displaying the height of a vehicle's air suspension. By combining multiple signals such as the vehicle's power status, the current height of the air suspension, the target height of the air suspension, and the status of the ASC system, the air suspension display height is determined through logical judgment, and the current height or status is displayed through IVI. This method can accurately display the air suspension height, allowing users to grasp the accurate air suspension height in real time, thereby improving the driving comfort and safety of the vehicle.

[0100] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle air suspension height display device.

[0101] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a functional module diagram of an embodiment of the vehicle air suspension height display device of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle air suspension height display device includes:

[0105] If so, the current actual height of the air suspension will be used as the displayed height of the air suspension.

[0106] Otherwise, the air suspension display height is determined based on the ASC system status and the relative position of the current actual height of the air suspension and the target height of the air suspension.

[0107] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the determining module is further configured to:

[0108] Determine if there is any abnormality in the status of the ASC system;

[0109] If so, the air suspension display height is determined based on the relative position of the current actual height of the air suspension and the target height of the air suspension;

[0110] Otherwise, it will directly display that the ASC system is in adjustment mode.

[0111] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the determining module is further configured to:

[0112] Determine whether the current actual height of the air suspension is within the steady-state height range of two adjacent gears before and after the target height of the air suspension;

[0113] If so, the steady-state height one level before the target height of the air suspension will be used as the air suspension display height, depending on the adjustment direction of the air suspension.

[0114] Otherwise, the steady-state height that is closest to the current actual height of the air suspension will be used as the displayed air suspension height.

[0115] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the determining module is further configured to:

[0116] When the vehicle power supply is in the ON position, and the vehicle power supply was in the ON position at the previous moment, determine whether the current actual height of the air suspension is the steady-state height.

[0117] If so, the current actual height of the air suspension will be used as the displayed height of the air suspension.

[0118] Otherwise, the air suspension display height is determined based on the ASC system status, the current actual height of the air suspension, and the air suspension adjustment process.

[0119] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the determining module is further configured to:

[0120] Determine if there is any abnormality in the status of the ASC system;

[0121] If so, the air suspension display height is determined based on the current actual height of the air suspension and the air suspension adjustment process;

[0125] The functions of each module in the above-mentioned vehicle air suspension height display device correspond to the steps in the above-mentioned vehicle air suspension height display method embodiment, and their functions and implementation processes will not be described in detail here.
