[0002] With the progress of electronic and electrical technology, the intelligent level of automobiles is continuously improved, and the automobile architecture is also changing from distributed control to domain integrated control. The domain controller integrates more functions, but in the process of integrating multiple functions into the domain controller, the existing technology mainly considers the computing power of the chip and the cost of the integrated circuit, without considering their position arrangement and function distribution within the vehicle.

[0063] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0064] Reference Figure 1This diagram illustrates a step-by-step flowchart of a method for setting up a vehicle domain controller according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applied to a vehicle, which includes at least one domain controller and at least one functional device. The domain controller is used to connect to the functional device via a wiring harness. Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

[0065] Step 101: Based on the location of the functional device in the vehicle and the function of the functional device, the functional device is divided into at least one device group;

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle may include at least one domain controller and at least one functional device. The vehicle may also include an ECU (Engine Control Unit). The functional device may include sensors and actuators, etc. The ECU can receive signals from sensors, process and calculate them; the ECU can also send commands to actuators to control their actions.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the domain controller can integrate the functions of at least one electronic control unit, such as the functions of electronic control units for the vehicle's powertrain, body, intelligent driving, cockpit, and chassis. The domain controller can be connected to functional devices via wiring harnesses to realize the functions of the electronic control units integrated within the domain controller.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the location and function of the functional devices in the vehicle, and according to the principle of similar function and similar location, the functional devices can be divided into at least one device group.

[0069] Step 102: Determine the location of the domain controller in the vehicle and the number of domain controllers based on the location of the functional device;

[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, the location and number of domain controllers within the vehicle can be determined based on the vehicle's model platform. Specifically, the model platform may include the locations of vehicle functional devices, such as the engine, sensors, and actuators. When determining the location and number of domain controllers, they can be placed around the functional devices. The number of domain controllers is determined based on the location, number, and functional type of the functional devices that each domain controller needs to manage. If one domain controller can effectively manage multiple functional devices, then only one domain controller may be needed. If the functional devices are more dispersed or require independent management, then multiple domain controllers may be required.

[0071] Step 103: For any of the device groups, determine the target domain controller to be connected to the device group based on the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional devices in the device group to any of the domain controllers.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, after dividing the functional devices into at least one device group and determining the location and number of domain controllers, for any device group, a target domain controller can be assigned to that device group based on the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional devices in the device group to any domain controller. Specifically, among all domain controllers, the wiring harness length between the functional devices in the device group and the target domain controller is the shortest, and the distance between the functional devices in the device group and the target domain controller is also the smallest. It should be noted that functional devices connected to the same target domain controller have similar functions.

[0073] Step 104: Determine the length of the target wiring harness for connecting the functional devices in the device group to the target domain controller;

[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, after assigning a corresponding target domain controller to each device group, the target wiring harness length for connecting the functional devices in each device group to the corresponding target domain controller can be determined. Specifically, a topology plugin can be used to simulate the target wiring harness for connecting the functional devices in each device group to the corresponding target domain controller, and the length of the target wiring harness can be calculated.

[0075] Reference Figure 2 This diagram illustrates an embodiment of the present invention for assigning corresponding target domain controllers to functional devices. Based on the location and function of the functional devices in the vehicle, and according to the principle of similar function and location, the functional devices can be divided into at least one device group. Each device group includes at least device group n1: left front headlight, device group n2: gear shift switch, device group n3: right front door lock, and device group n4: seat controller. The target domain controller assigned to device group n1 is domain controller a1, the target domain controller assigned to device group n2 is domain controller a2, the target domain controller assigned to device group n3 is domain controller a3, and the target domain controller assigned to device group n4 is domain controller a4. It should be noted that all domain controllers in this invention can be controlled by the same control chip or control system; that is, all domain controllers can constitute a general domain controller, and each domain controller can be called a sub-controller of this general domain controller.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a connection between a functional device and a corresponding target domain controller via a wiring harness, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Rectangles 31, 32, and 33 represent different target domain controllers, circles 34, 35, and 36 represent different functional devices, and 37 represents the wiring harness connecting the target domain controller and the functional device.

[0077] Step 105: Based on the target wiring harness length, determine whether the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions;

[0078] In this embodiment of the invention, the sum of the target harness lengths connecting the functional devices in all device groups to their corresponding target domain controllers can be calculated, and this sum of target harness lengths is taken as the vehicle's harness length. Then, based on the vehicle's harness length, it is determined whether the vehicle's harness meets the preset harness conditions.

[0079] In a specific example, if the length of the vehicle's wiring harness is less than a preset length threshold, then the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions.

[0080] In another specific example, if the vehicle's wiring harness has different specifications, the cost of the vehicle's wiring harness can be calculated by multiplying the length of the different specifications of the wiring harness by their unit price. If the cost of the vehicle's wiring harness is less than a preset cost threshold, then the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness condition.

[0081] Step 106: If the vehicle's wiring harness does not meet the preset wiring harness conditions, adjust at least one of the functional devices included in the device group, the location of the domain controller, and the number of the domain controllers until the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, if the vehicle's wiring harness does not meet the preset wiring harness conditions, at least one of the functional devices included in the vehicle's equipment group, the location of the vehicle's domain controller, and the number of domain controllers can be adjusted. A corresponding target domain controller can be reassigned to each equipment group, and the target wiring harness length of each equipment group can be calculated. The vehicle's wiring harness can then be re-determined to meet the preset wiring harness conditions until the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions.

[0083] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the location and function of the functional devices in the vehicle, the functional devices are divided into at least one device group; according to the location of the functional devices, the location and number of domain controllers in the vehicle are determined; for any device group, based on the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional devices in the device group to any domain controller, the target domain controller connected to the device group is determined; the target wiring harness length connecting the functional devices in the device group to the target domain controller is determined respectively; based on the target wiring harness length, it is determined whether the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions; if the vehicle's wiring harness does not meet the preset wiring harness conditions, at least one of the locations of the functional devices and domain controllers included in the device group, and the number of domain controllers, is adjusted until the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions. This not only guides the early functional development planning of the domain controller, but also saves wiring harness usage, provides support for the functional integration scheme of the domain controller, and reduces the overall vehicle material cost from the design stage.

[0084] Further, in any of the above embodiments, the method includes:

[0085] Sub-step S11: If the wiring harness of the vehicle meets the preset wiring harness conditions, determine the number of target domain controllers;

[0086] Sub-step S12: If the number of target domain controllers is less than the number of domain controllers, then based on the location of the domain controllers, remove the domain controllers that are not connected to the functional devices in the device group.

[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, the location and number of domain controllers in the vehicle can be determined based on the vehicle's model platform. If there is only one domain controller in the vehicle, it is not necessary to divide the vehicle's functional devices into at least one device group; all functional devices of the vehicle can be connected to the same domain controller.

[0088] For any device group, a target domain controller can be assigned to the device group based on the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional devices in the device group to any domain controller. The target wiring harness lengths for connecting the functional devices in the device group to the target domain controllers are then determined. Based on the target wiring harness lengths, it can be determined whether the vehicle's wiring harness meets preset wiring harness conditions. If the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset conditions, the number of target domain controllers can be determined. If the number of target domain controllers is greater than the number of domain controllers, it indicates that domain controllers not connected to functional devices are redundant, and these domain controllers can be removed.

[0089] Further, in any of the above embodiments, step 106 includes:

[0090] Sub-step S21: If the vehicle's wiring harness does not meet the preset wiring harness conditions, based on the location and function of the functional device, the functional device is re-divided into at least one device group, and / or, based on the location of the functional device, the number of domain controllers is re-determined, and / or, based on the location of the functional device, the location of the domain controllers is re-determined.

[0091] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the length of the vehicle's wiring harness, it can be determined whether the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions. If the vehicle's wiring harness does not meet the preset wiring harness conditions, the functional devices can be re-divided into at least one device group based on the location and function of the functional devices, and / or, the number of domain controllers can be re-determined based on the location of the functional devices, and / or, the location of the domain controllers can be re-determined based on the location of the functional devices, and a corresponding target domain controller can be reassigned to each device group, and the target wiring harness length of each device group can be recalculated. The determination of whether the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions can be repeated until the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions.

[0092] Further, in any of the above embodiments, step 105 includes:

[0093] Sub-step S31: Determine the length of the vehicle's wiring harness based on the target wiring harness length;

[0094] Sub-step S32: Determine whether the length of the wiring harness of the vehicle is less than a preset length threshold;

[0095] Sub-step S33: If the length of the wiring harness of the vehicle is less than the preset length threshold, then it is determined that the wiring harness of the vehicle meets the preset wiring harness condition.

[0096] In this embodiment of the invention, the sum of the target harness lengths required for each functional device in all device groups to connect to its corresponding target domain controller can be calculated, and this sum can be used as the vehicle's harness length. Then, it is determined whether the vehicle's harness length is less than a preset length threshold. If the vehicle's harness length is less than the preset length threshold, then the vehicle's harness meets the preset harness condition.

[0097] If the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions, then the number and location of the domain controllers in the vehicle are determined.

[0098] Furthermore, in any of the above embodiments, step 103 is preceded by:

[0099] Sub-step S41: Based on the location of the functional device in the device group and the location of any of the domain controllers, determine the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional device in the device group to any of the domain controllers.

[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, after dividing the functional devices into at least one device group and determining the location and number of domain controllers, the wiring harness length connecting the functional devices in the device group to any domain controller can be determined based on the location of the functional devices in the device group and the location of any domain controller. Then, based on the wiring harness length connecting the functional devices in the device group to any domain controller, a target domain controller can be assigned to the device group. Among all domain controllers, the wiring harness length between the functional devices in the device group and the target domain controller is the shortest, and the distance between the functional devices in the device group and the target domain controller is also the smallest. It should be noted that functional devices connected to the same target domain controller have similar functions.

[0101] Further, in any of the above embodiments, sub-step S41 includes:

[0102] Sub-step S51: Based on the location of the functional device in the device group and the location of any of the domain controllers, a preset wiring harness simulation tool is used to determine the simulated wiring harness connecting the functional device and any of the domain controllers.

[0103] Sub-step S52: Based on the simulated wiring harness, determine the length of the wiring harness used to connect the functional device and any of the domain controllers.

[0104] In this embodiment of the invention, after dividing the functional devices into at least one device group and determining the location and number of domain controllers, a wiring harness simulation tool can be used to determine the simulated wiring harness connecting the functional devices and any domain controller, based on the location of the functional devices in the device group and the location of any domain controller. Then, based on the simulated wiring harness, the length of the simulated wiring harness connecting the functional devices and any domain controller is determined. Based on the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional devices in the device group to any domain controller, a target domain controller can be assigned to the device group.

[0105] In this embodiment of the invention, the software platform is used to quickly analyze the amount of wiring harness material used under different functional integration schemes of the domain controller, thereby reducing the material cost of the whole vehicle by starting from the functional allocation of the domain controller.

[0106] Further, in any of the above embodiments, the method includes:

[0107] Sub-step S61: If the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions, integrate the preset management function of the electronic control unit into the target domain controller; the management function is the function of the electronic control unit to manage the functional devices in the device group connected to the target domain controller.

[0108] In this embodiment of the invention, for any device group, a target domain controller can be assigned to the device group based on the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional devices in the device group to any domain controller, and the target wiring harness length for connecting the functional devices in the device group to the target domain controller can be determined respectively. Based on the target wiring harness length, it can be determined whether the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions. If the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions, it indicates that the functional allocation of different domain controllers is reasonable, and the management function of the electronic control unit can be integrated into the target domain controller. The management function of the electronic control unit refers to the function of the electronic control unit in managing the functional devices in the device group connected to the target domain controller. If the functional device is a sensor, the management function of the electronic control unit includes receiving information collected by the sensor; if the functional device is an actuator, the management function of the electronic control unit includes sending instructions to the actuator.

[0109] In this embodiment of the invention, functional devices are divided into different device groups, and functional devices in the same device group are connected to the corresponding target domain controller. This avoids the repetitive process of redrawing wiring harnesses when studying the integration of different functions in a domain controller, thus saving development time.

[0110] Reference Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a step flowchart of another vehicle domain controller configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0111] Step 401, Begin.

[0112] Step 402: Divide the equipment into groups, quantity = S.

[0113] Based on the location and function of the functional devices in the vehicle, the functional devices are divided into at least one device group, and there can be a total of S device groups.

[0114] Step 403: Determine the number of domain controllers A (A = 1, 2, 3).

[0115] Based on the location of the functional devices, determine the location of the domain controller in the vehicle and the number of domain controllers. The number of domain controllers can be A.

[0116] Step 404: Determine if A is greater than 1. If A is greater than 1, proceed to step 405. If A is not greater than 1, calculate the lengths of wires of different specifications, multiply the lengths of wires of different specifications by their weights, output the length L and cost C, and execute step 408.

[0117] If there is only one domain controller in the vehicle, all functional devices of the vehicle can be connected to the same domain controller, and it can be determined whether the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions.

[0118] Step 405: For any device group n, determine whether device group n is connected to domain controller A1. If yes, proceed to step 406. If no, determine whether device group n is connected to domain controller A2. If yes, proceed to step 406. If no, determine whether device group n is connected to domain controller A3. If yes, proceed to step 406.

[0119] If there is more than one domain controller in the vehicle, for any device group, based on the length of the wiring harness connecting the functional device in the device group to any domain controller, determine the target domain controller to be connected to the device group, and determine the target wiring harness length connecting the functional device in the device group to the target domain controller respectively.

[0120] Step 406: Summarize the lengths of wires of different specifications.

[0121] Step 407: Determine if n is equal to S. If it is, multiply the lengths of wires of different specifications by their weights, and output the length L and cost C.

[0122] If a corresponding target domain controller has been assigned to each device group in the vehicle, and the vehicle's wiring harness has different specifications, the cost of the vehicle's wiring harness can be calculated by multiplying the length of the different specifications of the wiring harness by its unit price. If the cost of the vehicle's wiring harness is less than a preset cost threshold, then the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness condition.

[0123] Step 408: Determine whether to end the current solution analysis. If yes, proceed to step 409; otherwise, proceed to step 404.

[0124] If the vehicle's wiring harness meets the preset wiring harness conditions, the current scheme analysis ends, and the design of the domain controller in the vehicle is completed.

[0125] Step 409, End.
