Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control, and more specifically to an antifreeze control method, device, vehicle terminal, and vehicle for concealing door handles. Background Technology

[0002] Concealed door handles are gaining popularity due to their numerous advantages. Firstly, their design significantly enhances a vehicle's aesthetics, creating smoother lines and a stronger overall sense of unity, satisfying modern consumers' aesthetic preferences. Secondly, this design imbues the vehicle with a stronger sense of technology, automatically popping out via sensors or touch, providing users with a more convenient experience and adding to the driving experience with a futuristic feel. Finally, concealed door handles are almost flush with the vehicle body when the door is closed, effectively reducing the vehicle's surface area exposed to wind, thus optimizing aerodynamics and helping the vehicle save energy, achieving a dual improvement in environmental protection and efficiency.

[0003] However, in high-latitude regions, concealed door handles are prone to freezing in winter. Document CN216110200U discloses a car door, an antifreeze system, and a vehicle, including an outer door panel, a door handle, and a support base. The support base is fixed to the outer door panel, and the door handle is movably connected within the support base. It also includes a heating wire disposed on the outer door panel to heat the area around the door handle. However, this strategy typically only activates the de-icing mode after the concealed door handle has frozen, and requires additional heating wires and sensors, increasing costs. Furthermore, the heating wire is prone to failure, necessitating other physical methods (such as watering or tapping) for repair, which is extremely inconvenient and can damage the vehicle. To prevent concealed door handles from freezing while saving costs, this application proposes a new antifreeze control method for concealed door handles.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content only provides background information related to the present invention and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the current vehicle status of the target vehicle based on the aforementioned scheme, the method further includes: detecting the current vehicle status; if the current vehicle status is detected to include a power-off locked state, then prompting the user of the target vehicle to activate the anti-freeze mode; if an anti-freeze activation request is received, then controlling the hidden door handle of the target vehicle to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval; if the current vehicle status is detected not to include a power-off locked state, then re-acquiring the current location information of the target vehicle at a third preset interval.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the aforementioned scheme, after prompting the user of the target vehicle to activate the antifreeze mode, the method further includes: monitoring whether an antifreeze activation request is received; if an antifreeze activation request is received, controlling the hidden door handle of the target vehicle to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval; if the antifreeze activation request is not received, after a preset waiting time, re-acquiring the current location information of the target vehicle every fourth preset time.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the aforementioned scheme, after controlling the hidden door handle of the target vehicle to perform an unfolding and closing operation at preset intervals, the method further includes: monitoring whether a request to turn off the antifreeze is received, and acquiring new current location information, new current weather information, and new current vehicle status; if at least one of the following is satisfied: receiving the request to turn off the antifreeze, the new current location information not satisfying the preset location condition, the new current weather information not conforming to the preset weather information, and the new current vehicle status not including the power-off locking state, then controlling the hidden door handle of the target vehicle to stop the unfolding and closing operation.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the foregoing scheme, the preset location conditions include preset altitude information; after obtaining the current location information of the target vehicle, the method further includes: comparing the current altitude information with the preset altitude information, wherein the current location information includes the current altitude information; if the current altitude information is higher than the preset altitude information, then obtaining the current weather information of the target vehicle; if the current altitude information is lower than or equal to the preset altitude information, then re-obtaining the current location information of the target vehicle at a fifth preset time interval.

[0014] According to one aspect of the present invention, an antifreeze control device for a concealed door handle is provided, comprising: an acquisition module for acquiring current location information of a target vehicle; a first determination module for acquiring current weather information of the target vehicle if the current location information satisfies a preset location condition; a second determination module for acquiring current vehicle status of the target vehicle if the current weather information matches the preset weather information; and a control module for controlling the concealed door handle of the target vehicle to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval if the current vehicle status includes a power-off locked state and an antifreeze activation request is received.

If the current location information meets the preset location conditions, it obtains the current weather information of the target vehicle. If the current weather information matches the preset weather information, it obtains the current vehicle status of the target vehicle. If the current vehicle status includes a power-off locked state and a request to activate antifreeze is received, the hidden door handle of the target vehicle is controlled to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0028] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the invention.

[0029] First, it's important to clarify that motor stall is an abnormal situation encountered during motor operation. Specifically, the motor continues to output torque even at 0 RPM, but cannot rotate normally or its speed is significantly reduced. In other words, motor stall refers to the phenomenon where, during startup or operation, the motor cannot continue to rotate normally due to some reason (such as excessive load, mechanical failure, electrical fault, etc.). At this time, although the motor is still energized, its speed is almost zero, and abnormal current and heat are generated.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary system architecture as shown in an exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0031] Reference Figure 1As shown, the system architecture may include a data acquisition device 101 and a computer device 102. The computer device 102 may be at least one of a desktop graphics processing unit (GPU) computer, a GPU computing cluster, or a neural network computer. The data acquisition device 101 is used to acquire the current location information of the target vehicle. In this embodiment, the data acquisition device 101 acquires the current location information and provides it to the computer device 102 for processing. Those skilled in the art can use the computer device 102 to compare the current location information with preset location conditions. If the current location information meets the preset location conditions, the computer device 102 controls the data acquisition device 101 to acquire the current weather information of the target vehicle. In this embodiment, the data acquisition device 101 acquires the current weather information and provides it to the computer device 102 for processing. Those skilled in the art can use the computer device 102 to match the current weather information with preset weather information. If the current weather information matches the preset weather information successfully, the computer device 102 controls the data acquisition device 101 to acquire the current vehicle status of the target vehicle. In this embodiment, the data acquisition device 101 acquires the current vehicle status and provides it to the computer device 102 for processing. Relevant technicians can use the computer device 102 to detect the current vehicle status. If the current vehicle status includes a power-off locked state and an antifreeze activation request is received, the hidden door handle of the target vehicle will be controlled to open and close once at preset intervals to prevent the hidden door handle of the target vehicle from freezing. It should be noted that the data acquisition device 101 and computer device 102 provided in this embodiment are only examples and should not impose any limitations on the function and scope of use of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that the antifreeze control method for concealing door handles provided in this application embodiment is generally executed by computer device 102, and correspondingly, the antifreeze control device for concealing door handles is generally installed in computer device 102.

[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the present application of an antifreeze control method for concealing a door handle. This antifreeze control method for concealing a door handle can be executed by a computing processing device, which may be... Figure 1 The computer device 102 shown is illustrated. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, the antifreeze control method for concealing door handles includes at least steps S210 to S240, which are described in detail below:

[0034] In step S210, the current location information of the target vehicle is obtained.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the current location information of the target vehicle is acquired through a location acquisition device, which includes one or more of GPS (Global Positioning System), a GPS vehicle-mounted positioning terminal, and the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). Specifically, GPS determines the vehicle's location by receiving signals from GPS satellites, which contain the vehicle's latitude and longitude coordinates, enabling the GPS positioning system to accurately pinpoint the vehicle's location. Secondly, by receiving signals from multiple GPS satellites and utilizing techniques such as triangulation or differential positioning, the GPS system can calculate the vehicle's altitude. Furthermore, the GPS vehicle-mounted positioning terminal not only combines GPS satellite positioning technology but also incorporates high-tech technologies such as GIS geographic information technology (electronic maps), GPRS wireless communication technology, distributed server technology, and Internet technology. This allows the GPS vehicle-mounted positioning terminal to not only locate the vehicle's position in real time but also provide rich map information and vehicle driving data, such as driving direction, speed, and trajectory. Simultaneously, these technologies also enable the GPS vehicle-mounted positioning terminal to automatically record and generate driving reports, providing strong support for vehicle management.

[0036] In step S220, if the current location information meets the preset location conditions, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the preset location conditions include preset latitude information. After obtaining the current location information of the target vehicle, the current latitude information is compared with the preset latitude information. The current location information includes the current latitude information. If the current latitude information is higher than the preset latitude information, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained. If the current latitude information is lower than or equal to the preset latitude information, the current location information of the target vehicle is obtained again after a first preset time interval.

[0038] In this embodiment, taking a preset latitude of 40°N (i.e., 40° North latitude) as an example, if the current latitude of the target vehicle is higher than 40°N, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained; if the current latitude is lower than or equal to 40°N, the current location information of the target vehicle is re-obtained after a first preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes). Example 1: If the current latitude is 50°N, since 50°N is higher than the preset latitude of 40°N, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained. Example 2: If the current latitude is 30°N, since 30°N is lower than the preset latitude of 40°N, the current location information of the target vehicle is re-obtained after a first preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes).

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the preset location conditions include preset altitude information. After obtaining the current location information of the target vehicle, the current altitude information is compared with the preset altitude information. The current location information includes the current altitude information. If the current altitude information is higher than the preset altitude information, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained. If the current altitude information is lower than or equal to the preset altitude information, the current location information of the target vehicle is obtained again after a fifth preset time interval. The fifth preset time may be the same as the first preset time or different from the first preset time, and can be set according to actual needs. Preferably, the fifth preset time is the same as the first preset time.

[0040] In this embodiment, taking a preset altitude of 800 meters as an example, if the current altitude is higher than 800 meters, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained; if the current altitude is lower than or equal to 800 meters, the current location information of the target vehicle is re-obtained after a fifth preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes). Example 1: If the current altitude is 1000 meters, since the current altitude of 1000 meters is higher than the preset altitude of 800 meters, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained. Example 2: If the current altitude is 300 meters, since the current altitude of 300 meters is lower than the preset altitude of 800 meters, the current location information of the target vehicle is re-obtained after a fifth preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes).

[0041] In step S230, if the current weather information matches the preset weather information, the current vehicle status of the target vehicle is obtained.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, after obtaining the current weather information of the target vehicle, the current weather information is matched with preset weather information; if the current weather information and the preset weather information are successfully matched, the current vehicle status of the target vehicle is obtained; if the current weather information and the preset weather information are not matched, the current location information of the target vehicle is obtained again after a second preset time interval. The second preset time may be the same as the first preset time or different from the first preset time, and can be set according to actual needs. Preferably, the second preset time is the same as the first preset time.

[0043] In this embodiment, the preset weather information may include one or more of the following: intermittent snow, light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, blizzard, freezing rain, etc. The preset weather information may also be an ambient temperature lower than or equal to a preset temperature, such as 0°C, or an ambient humidity higher than a preset humidity. In other words, the preset weather information may include weather phenomena such as intermittent snow, light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, blizzard, freezing rain, etc., and ambient temperature, ambient humidity, etc., can be parameters representing weather information. If the current weather information matches the preset weather information successfully—for example, if the current weather information includes intermittent snow, the current weather information includes an ambient temperature lower than or equal to 0°C, and the current weather information includes an ambient humidity higher than a preset humidity, then the current vehicle status of the target vehicle is obtained through the vehicle system or other devices. If the current weather information fails to match the preset weather information—for example, if the current weather information includes sunny weather, the current weather information includes an ambient temperature higher than 0°C, or the current weather information includes an ambient humidity lower than a preset humidity—the current location information of the target vehicle is re-obtained after a second preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes).

[0044] In step S240, if the current vehicle status includes the power-off locked state and an antifreeze activation request is received, the hidden door handle of the target vehicle is controlled to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, after obtaining the current vehicle status of the target vehicle, the current vehicle status is detected; if the current vehicle status includes the power-off locking state, the user of the target vehicle is prompted to activate the antifreeze mode; if the antifreeze activation request is received, the hidden door handle of the target vehicle is controlled to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval; if the current vehicle status does not include the power-off locking state, the current location information of the target vehicle is re-obtained at a third preset interval, wherein the third preset interval may be the same as the first preset interval or may be different from the first preset interval, and may be set according to actual needs. Preferably, the third preset interval is the same as the first preset interval.

[0046] In this embodiment, a prompt message is sent to the user's terminal of the target vehicle to prompt the user to activate the antifreeze mode. The prompt message can be one or more of the following: text, voice, icon, vibration, etc. Text messages can include static and dynamic text, and voice messages can include prompt voice, prompt tone, and alarm sound. The user of the target vehicle decides whether to activate the antifreeze mode. If activated, a request to activate the antifreeze mode is sent; otherwise, no request is sent. The power-off locked state typically refers to a state where the vehicle's doors and windows are closed and locked after the power-off operation. In this state, the vehicle's power is disconnected, but the vehicle's safety system remains active to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its contents.

[0047] In one embodiment of this application, after prompting the user of the target vehicle to activate the antifreeze mode, the system monitors whether an antifreeze activation request has been received. If an antifreeze activation request is received, the system controls the hidden door handle of the target vehicle to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval. If no antifreeze activation request is received, the system re-acquires the current location information of the target vehicle every fourth preset time interval after a preset waiting time. The fourth preset time may be the same as or different from the first preset time, depending on actual needs. Preferably, the fourth preset time is the same as the first preset time.

[0048] In this embodiment, taking a preset interval of 10 seconds as an example, if an antifreeze activation request is received, the hidden door handle of the target vehicle is controlled to open and close once every 10 seconds; if no antifreeze activation request is received, the current location information of the target vehicle is reacquired every fourth preset time (e.g., 10 minutes) after a preset waiting time (e.g., 24 hours).

[0049] In one embodiment of this application, after controlling the hidden door handle of the target vehicle to perform an opening and closing operation once at a preset interval, it monitors whether a request to turn off the antifreeze is received, and obtains new current location information, new current weather information, and new current vehicle status; if at least one of the following is met: receiving a request to turn off the antifreeze, the new current location information does not meet the preset location conditions, the new current weather information does not meet the preset weather information, and the new current vehicle status does not include the power-off locking state, then the hidden door handle of the target vehicle is controlled to stop the opening and closing operation.

[0050] In this embodiment, the current location information of the target vehicle is obtained. If the current location information meets the preset location conditions, the current weather information of the target vehicle is obtained. If the current weather information matches the preset weather information, the current vehicle status of the target vehicle is obtained. If the current vehicle status includes the power-off locked state and a request to activate the antifreeze is received, the hidden door handle of the target vehicle is controlled to perform an opening and closing operation once every preset interval until the request to deactivate the antifreeze is received. Alternatively, within a preset duration, it is determined that the current location information does not meet the preset location conditions, the current weather information does not match the preset weather information, and the current vehicle status does not include the power-off locked state, at least one of these conditions is not met.

[0051] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of an antifreeze control system for concealing door handles, as illustrated in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Figure 3As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the anti-freezing control system for concealed door handles includes a data acquisition module, a vehicle body control module, and a network module. The data acquisition module includes, but is not limited to, a meteorological data acquisition module and a latitude data acquisition module. The data acquisition module and the vehicle body control module can be connected via CAN (Controller Area Network), the data acquisition module and the network module can be connected via CAN, the anti-freezing control system for concealed door handles can be connected to the user terminal via a network, and the anti-freezing control system for concealed door handles and the concealed door handle motor module can be connected via LIN (Local Interconnect Network). The meteorological data acquisition module is used to acquire meteorological data, i.e., current weather information, at the location of the target vehicle; the latitude data acquisition module is used to acquire the geographical latitude, i.e., current latitude information, at the location of the target vehicle; the vehicle body control module is used to control the meteorological data acquisition module and the latitude data acquisition module to acquire the geographical latitude and meteorological data, and to determine whether the geographical latitude and meteorological data at the location of the target vehicle meet the pre-icing conditions, so as to enter the door handle anti-freezing mode before the concealed door handle freezes, i.e., send anti-freezing operation commands to repeatedly open and close the concealed door handle to prevent the concealed door handle of the target vehicle from freezing.

[0052] In this embodiment, the latitude information acquired by the latitude acquisition module (i.e., the aforementioned geographical latitude) is compared with a preset latitude threshold (i.e., preset latitude information) to determine whether the latitude information is higher than the preset latitude threshold. If the latitude information is higher than the preset latitude threshold, the next step is performed. The current meteorological information acquired by the meteorological acquisition module is compared with preset meteorological data to determine whether the current meteorological information matches the preset meteorological data. If the meteorological data of the vehicle's location (i.e., the current meteorological information) matches the preset meteorological data, the next step is performed. It is determined whether the target vehicle is in a power-off locked state. If the target vehicle is in a power-off locked state, a notification is sent to the user via the network module to determine whether to activate the door handle anti-freeze mode. If the user responds to the request to activate the door handle anti-freeze mode, that is, if an anti-freeze activation request is received, the hidden door handle is controlled to repeatedly open and close at preset intervals (during which time the vehicle remains locked) until the user cancels the door handle anti-freeze mode or the door handle action stops when the preconditions are not met. The preconditions include at least one of the following: latitude information is higher than a preset latitude threshold, current weather information matches preset weather data, and the current vehicle status is in a power-off locked state. In this embodiment, the preset latitude threshold can be 40°N, and the preset weather data includes one or more of the following: light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, blizzard, freezing rain, etc.

[0053] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating an antifreeze control method for concealing a door handle, as shown in another exemplary embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 4As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the latitude information of the vehicle's location is acquired through a latitude acquisition module, and it is determined whether the latitude information is higher than a preset latitude threshold (e.g., 40°N). If the latitude information is determined to be lower than or equal to the preset latitude threshold (40°N), the latitude information of the vehicle's location is reacquired through the latitude acquisition module at a first preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes). If the latitude information is determined to be higher than the preset latitude threshold, the process proceeds to the next step. Further, meteorological information of the vehicle's location is acquired through a meteorological acquisition module, and it is determined whether the meteorological information matches preset meteorological data (including but not limited to one or more of the following: light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, blizzard, and freezing rain). If the meteorological data of the vehicle's location does not match the preset meteorological data, the latitude information of the vehicle's location is reacquired through the latitude acquisition module at a second preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes). If the meteorological data of the vehicle's location matches the preset meteorological data, the process proceeds to the next step. Further, it is determined whether the vehicle is in a power-off locked state. If the vehicle is not in a power-off locked state, the latitude information of the vehicle's location will be collected again via the latitude acquisition module after a third preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes). If the vehicle is in a power-off locked state, a notification will be sent to the user via the network module to determine whether to activate the door handle anti-freeze mode. If the user does not respond to activate the door handle anti-freeze mode, the latitude of the location will be collected again via the latitude acquisition module every fourth preset time interval (e.g., 10 minutes) after a preset waiting time interval (e.g., 24 hours). If the user responds to activate the door handle anti-freeze mode, the hidden door handle of the target vehicle will be controlled to open and close once at a preset interval time (e.g., 10 seconds) (which can also be understood as repeatedly opening and closing a preset number of times (e.g., 3 times) every preset time interval (e.g., 30 seconds) until the user cancels the door handle anti-freeze mode or the weather information of the vehicle's location continues for a preset duration (e.g., 2 hours) and the pre-hidden door handle anti-freeze condition is no longer met, at which point the door handle action will stop.

[0054] This application obtains the current location information of the target vehicle. If the current location information meets preset location conditions, it obtains the current weather information of the target vehicle. If the current weather information matches the preset weather information, it obtains the current vehicle status of the target vehicle. If the current vehicle status includes a power-off locked state and an anti-freeze activation request is received, the application controls the hidden door handle of the target vehicle to perform an opening and closing operation at preset intervals. This prevents the hidden door handle of the target vehicle from freezing while saving costs. This application solves the problem of delayed judgment in traditional door handle anti-freeze control strategies, which require heating with a heating wire after the door handle is determined to be stuck, increasing costs. By issuing anti-freeze commands to the door handle in advance using meteorological and geographical latitude information, it improves the reliability and convenience of the vehicle in cold environments and reduces the cost of door handle anti-freeze control strategies.
