[0027] Example 1

[0028] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a car chassis scratch prevention system is provided, comprising a vehicle controller, a first laser sensor arranged in front of the car, a second laser sensor arranged on the front side of the car, and a third laser sensor arranged in front of the car roof;

[0029] The first laser sensor, the second laser sensor and the third laser sensor respectively collect the road surface information in front and on the side, and transmit the road surface information to the vehicle controller to calculate the height, width or pit depth and diameter of the front obstacle. The vehicle controller compares the stored chassis data information, the position of each component and the distance information of each position of the chassis from the horizontal ground with the calculation results, controls the steering system, air suspension system and braking system of the car to work, and controls the speed of the vehicle to make the vehicle pass smoothly and safely.

[0030] As an embodiment, the first laser sensor is arranged in front of the automobile, the second laser sensor is arranged on the front side of the automobile for measuring the obstacles on both sides, and the third laser sensor is arranged in front of the roof of the automobile. The vehicle controller receives the road surface signals collected by the first laser sensor, the second laser sensor and the third laser sensor and calculates the height and width of the front obstacle or the depth and diameter of the pit. According to the results of the calculation and analysis, the steering system, the air suspension system and the brake system of the automobile are controlled to work to ensure the safe passing of the vehicle and avoid the problem of scratching the chassis. Among them, the first laser sensor and the second laser sensor are horizontally arranged, and the third laser sensor is obliquely arranged to facilitate the measurement of the depth of the pit.

[0031] The vehicle controller stores the chassis data information, which can clearly show the positions of various components and the distances between various positions of the chassis and the horizontal ground.

[0032] After the vehicle controller obtains the front road surface condition, it compares it with the height of the chassis, then controls the steering system and the air suspension system of the automobile to work, and controls the speed of the vehicle, so that the vehicle can smoothly pass through the front road and avoid the damage of the chassis caused by scratching.

[0033] As an embodiment, when the vehicle drives forward at a certain speed, the first laser sensor, the second laser sensor and the third laser sensor obtain the information of the front road surface in real time. When the road surface is uneven, the vehicle controller first judges whether it is a convex obstacle or a pit, and whether it is a single obstacle or a continuous obstacle.

[0034] 1) When it is determined as a single convex obstacle, the width of the obstacle is obtained by the first sensor, and the vertical distance between the obstacle and the chassis when the vehicle passes is calculated by the vehicle controller according to the driving track of the current vehicle, to determine whether the scratch occurs, if the scratch does not occur, it is determined that the vehicle can pass smoothly, if the calculation result occurs, the vehicle controller receives the signal of the second laser sensor, to determine whether there are barriers on both sides of the convex obstacle and the distance between the convex obstacle and the barriers on both sides, so as to calculate the distance that the vehicle can be translated left and right, and then calculate the maximum distance between the chassis and the convex obstacle on the passing path, if the maximum distance is greater than zero, the vehicle controller controls the vehicle to turn, and determines whether to collide with the barriers on both sides after turning, so that the chassis passes the convex obstacle at the maximum gap, and safely passes the convex obstacle at the minimum turning angle, to ensure the safety of driving. If all positions of the chassis passing through the convex obstacle will cause scratch, it is considered whether the left wheel or the right wheel can pass through the convex obstacle, the vehicle controller is used to calculate the inclination angle of the vehicle with the single wheel on the convex obstacle, to prevent the vehicle from tilting sideways, and the scheme that does not cause side is preferred; at the same time, combined with the distance between the vehicle body and the barriers on both sides, the side that can safely pass through with offset distance is selected, after the analysis is completed, the vehicle controller controls the vehicle to turn, so that the vehicle safely passes through. If the single wheel on the convex obstacle will cause side, the turning angle is considered to be increased to bypass the convex obstacle, if the above cannot pass through the convex obstacle, the vehicle controller controls the brake system to work to stop.

[0035] As an embodiment, the air suspension system is intervened, the air suspension system is lifted by the vehicle controller to lift the chassis, so as to safely pass through the convex obstacle.

[0036] 2) When the vehicle passes through the undulating road surface, the vehicle controller receives the road surface information fed back by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor, and calculates the height difference of the front road surface, and then combines the current vehicle speed to calculate the swing of the vehicle passing through the front road surface at the current speed and the current motion track, and whether the vehicle chassis will be scratched with the ground in the swing process, if not, the current speed is maintained to pass through, if the chassis will be scratched, the vehicle controller calculates whether it can pass safely by reducing the vehicle speed to reduce the swing of the vehicle, if it can, the vehicle speed is reduced to pass through.

[0037] If the vehicle cannot pass through the original driving track smoothly, the whole vehicle controller obtains the signal of the second laser sensor, calculates the lateral displacement of the two sides when passing through the uneven road surface, and obtains the minimum offset angle and the vehicle speed that the vehicle can pass through smoothly within the allowable range of the offset amount in combination with the road height difference information obtained by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor. The whole vehicle controller controls the steering system and the braking system to work according to the calculation result, so as to safely pass through the uneven road surface with the minimum turning radius.

[0038] In addition, during the above calculation, the adjustment amount of the air suspension is taken into account, and the amplitude of the swing and the minimum ground clearance of the chassis are adjusted by adjusting the height of the air suspensions on the left and right sides.

[0039] 3) When the vehicle passes through the uneven road surface, the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor obtain the depth, width and length in the driving direction of the pit ahead. When the width of the pit is less than the wheel track, it is judged whether the wheels pass through the pit in the current driving track. If not, it is determined that it can pass through normally. If the wheels pass through the pit, the whole vehicle controller judges whether the wheels will fall into the pit according to the shape of the pit. If not, it is determined that it can pass through normally. If the wheels on one side will fall into the pit, the distance between the obstacles on the left and right sides is calculated by the second laser sensor to judge the allowable offset amount. Within the allowable offset amount, the steering system is controlled to steer to avoid the wheels from the pit. If the vehicle cannot be offset to the two sides, the inclination of the vehicle when the wheels on one side enter the pit is calculated, and whether the chassis will scratch the road surface when it is inclined is calculated to determine whether the vehicle can pass through. At the same time, according to the speed of the vehicle, the diving force when the wheels enter and the stretching amount of the suspension when it is stressed are calculated to obtain the instantaneous sinking amount of the vehicle at the current speed and whether it will knock the chassis when it sinks. If not, it is determined that it can pass through safely. If so, the allowable passing speed is obtained by calculation, and then the braking system is controlled to work to limit the speed to pass through the pit. If none of the above solutions can pass through, the braking system is controlled to stop.

[0040] When the width of the pit is greater than the wheel track and the length is greater than the wheel diameter, the slope of the pit is calculated according to the depth information obtained by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor, and whether the sinking amount of the vehicle under the action of the diving force when the vehicle enters the pit will scratch the chassis is calculated in combination with the vehicle speed. If not, it is determined that it can pass through safely. If so, the maximum safe passing speed is calculated, and then the braking system is controlled to work to enter the pit at the set speed to ensure the safe passing of the vehicle.

[0041] If the slope of the pit is greater than the maximum allowable passing slope, the distance between the obstacles on the two sides is obtained by the second laser sensor to judge whether it can bypass. If so, the steering system is controlled to steer to bypass the pit road. If not, the braking system is controlled to work to stop to prevent the wheels from sinking into the pit road.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a control method of an automobile chassis scratch prevention system is provided, comprising:

[0044] After the vehicle controller obtains the road conditions in front, the height of the chassis is compared, and then the steering system and the air suspension system of the automobile are controlled to work, and the speed of the vehicle is controlled to make the vehicle pass through the road in front smoothly, avoiding the chassis from being scratched and damaged.

[0045] When the vehicle drives forward at a certain speed, the first, second and third laser sensors obtain the information of the road in front in real time, and when the road is uneven, the vehicle controller first judges whether it is a convex obstacle or a pit, and whether it is a single obstacle or a continuous obstacle.

[0046] When it is determined to be a single convex obstacle, the width of the obstacle is obtained through the first sensor, and the vertical distance between the obstacle and the chassis when the vehicle passes through is calculated by the vehicle controller according to the current driving track of the vehicle, to judge whether scratching occurs. If no scratching occurs, it is determined that the vehicle can pass through smoothly; if scratching occurs, the vehicle controller receives the signal of the second laser sensor to judge whether there are obstacles on both sides of the convex obstacle and the distance between the convex obstacle and the obstacles on both sides, so as to calculate the distance that the vehicle can move left and right; then the maximum distance between the chassis and the convex obstacle on the passing path is calculated, and if the maximum distance is greater than zero, the vehicle controller controls the automobile to turn, and judges whether it collides with the obstacles on both sides after turning, so that the chassis passes through the convex obstacle at the maximum gap and safely passes through the convex obstacle at the smallest turning angle, to ensure the safety of driving. If it is calculated that the chassis will be scratched when passing through the convex obstacle at all positions, it is considered whether it is feasible for the left or right wheel to ride on the convex obstacle to pass through. First, the vehicle controller calculates the inclination angle of the vehicle when the single wheel rides on the convex obstacle to prevent the vehicle from tilting sideways, and preferentially selects the scheme that will not cause tilting. At the same time, combined with the distance of the vehicle body from the obstacles on both sides, one side that can safely pass through is selected by offsetting the distance, and after the analysis is completed, the vehicle controller controls the vehicle to turn, so that the vehicle safely passes through. If the single wheel riding on the convex obstacle will cause tilting, the turning angle is considered to be increased to bypass the convex obstacle; if none of the above can pass through the convex obstacle, the vehicle controller controls the brake system to work to stop.

[0047] In addition, in the above solution strategy, the air suspension system can also be intervened to be lifted by the vehicle controller to raise the chassis, so as to safely pass through the convex obstacle.

[0048] When the vehicle passes through the undulating road, the vehicle controller receives the road information fed back by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor, calculates the height difference of the front road, and then combines the current vehicle speed to calculate the swing of the vehicle passing through the front road at the current speed and the current motion trajectory, and whether the vehicle chassis will be scratched with the ground during the swing. If not, keep the current speed to pass through; if the chassis will be scratched, the vehicle controller first calculates whether it can pass safely by reducing the vehicle speed to reduce the swing of the vehicle, and if so, reduce the speed to pass through.

[0049] If the vehicle cannot pass smoothly under the original driving trajectory, the vehicle controller obtains the signal of the second laser sensor, calculates the lateral displacement amount that can be offset on both sides when passing through the pothole road, and within the allowable range of the offset amount, combines the road height difference information obtained by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor to calculate the minimum offset angle and vehicle speed that the vehicle can pass smoothly. The vehicle controller controls the steering system and brake system to work according to the calculation result, so as to safely pass through the undulating road with the smallest turning radius.

[0050] In addition, during the above calculation, the adjustment amount of the air suspension can be taken into account, and the swing amplitude and the minimum ground clearance of the chassis can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the air suspension on the left and right sides.

[0051] When the vehicle passes through the pothole road, the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor obtain the depth, width and length in the driving direction of the front pothole. When the width of the pothole is less than the wheel track, it is judged whether the wheels pass through the pothole under the current driving trajectory. If not, it is determined that it can pass normally; if the wheels pass through the pothole, the vehicle controller judges whether the wheels will fall into the pit according to the shape of the pothole. If not, it is determined that it can pass normally; if the single-sided wheels will sink into the pit, the distance between the left and right obstacles is calculated by the second laser sensor to judge the allowable offset amount. Within the allowable offset amount, the steering system is controlled to turn to make the wheels avoid the pothole; if the vehicle cannot be offset to both sides, the inclination of the vehicle when the single-sided wheels enter the pothole is calculated, and whether the chassis will be scratched when it is inclined. To determine whether the vehicle can pass; at the same time, according to the speed of the vehicle, the diving force when the wheels enter, the stretching amount when the suspension is stressed, the instantaneous sinking amount of the vehicle at the current speed, and whether it will knock to the chassis when it sinks, if not, it is determined to pass safely; if so, the allowable passing speed is obtained by calculation, and then the brake system is controlled to work to limit the speed to pass through the pothole; if the above schemes cannot pass, the brake system is controlled to stop.

[0052] When the width of the pit is greater than the wheel track and the length is greater than the wheel diameter, the slope of the pit is calculated according to the depth information obtained by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor, and the sinking amount of the vehicle under the action of the diving force when the vehicle enters the pit is calculated in combination with the vehicle speed, whether the vehicle will scratch the chassis, if not, it is determined that it can be safely passed; if so, the maximum safe passing speed is calculated, and then the brake system is controlled to work to enter the pit at a set speed to ensure the safe passing of the vehicle.

[0053] If the slope of the pit is greater than the maximum allowable passing slope, the distance of the obstacles on both sides is obtained by the second laser sensor to determine whether it can be bypassed, if so, the steering system is controlled to steer to bypass the pit road, if not, the brake system is controlled to work to stop to prevent the wheels from sinking into the pit road.

The control method of an automobile underbody scratch prevention system according to claim 6, characterized by, It includes: When the vehicle passes through the undulating road, the vehicle controller receives the road information fed back by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor, and calculates the height difference of the front road, combines the current vehicle speed, calculates the swing of the vehicle passing through the front road at the current speed and the current motion trajectory, and whether the vehicle chassis will be scratched with the ground in the swinging process, if not, the current vehicle speed is kept through; if the chassis is scratched, the vehicle controller calculates whether it can pass safely by reducing the vehicle speed and reducing the swing of the vehicle, if it can, the vehicle speed is reduced to pass; If the vehicle cannot pass smoothly under the original driving trajectory, the vehicle controller obtains the signal of the second laser sensor, calculates the lateral displacement amount that can be offset on both sides when passing through the pothole road, and within the allowable range of the offset amount, combines the road height difference information obtained by the first laser sensor and the third laser sensor to calculate the minimum offset angle and vehicle speed that the vehicle can pass smoothly, and the vehicle controller controls the steering system and brake system to work according to the calculation result, so as to safely pass through the undulating road with the smallest turning radius.

8. The control method of an automobile chassis scratch prevention system according to claim 6, characterized by, It includes: When the vehicle passes the pothole road, the first and third laser sensors acquire the depth and width of the pothole in front and the length in the driving direction, when the width of the pothole is less than the wheel track, it is judged whether the current driving track passes the pothole, if not, it is determined that it can pass normally; if the wheel passes the pothole, the vehicle controller judges whether the wheel will fall into the pit according to the shape of the pothole, if not, it is determined that it can pass normally; if the single wheel will sink into the pit, the distance of the obstacles on the left and right sides is calculated by the second laser sensor to judge the allowable offset, within the allowable offset range, the steering system is controlled to steer to make the wheel avoid the pothole; if the vehicle cannot be offset to both sides, the inclination of the vehicle when the single wheel enters the pothole is calculated, and whether the chassis will scratch the road surface when it is inclined, to judge whether the vehicle can pass.
