[0008] Preferably, when the folding position is 0 < hall value < 1 / 3 HALL total value, and the motor enters locked-rotor and the hall value does not change, the folding is driven with a duty cycle of 40%, and stopped after reaching the mechanical limit locked-rotor for a second time period.
[0009] Preferably, when the hall value is not equal to 0 and the hall value does not change, the motor does not reach the locked-rotor current, and the hall value remains unchanged after continuous driving for a third time period, then the duty cycle is increased to 100% driving, and after running to the folding inner limit, it runs to the mechanical limit with a duty cycle of 60%, and stops driving after locked-rotor for a third time period.
[0010] Preferably, when hall value ≠ 0, and the hall value does not change, the motor enters the locked-rotor current, and after the fourth time period of continuous driving, the hall value still does not change, then the duty cycle is increased to 100% for driving.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0024] The embodiment provides a hidden door handle control method, which comprises a folding driving step and an unfolding driving step.
[0025] The folding driving step: in the folding process, the duty cycle is controlled to perform the folding operation according to the hall value and whether the motor enters the locked rotor; when the door handle motor hall value is 0 and the current does not enter the locked rotor, the controller continues for 1500 ms and then stops, and the software flag position is 0. The software flag position is set to 1 when the handle executes the driving instruction, and is set to 0 when the handle table stops driving; the maximum driving time is 5 s, and the controller drives for 5 s and then is forced to be 0.
[0026] When the HALL total value is greater than the hall value and is greater than 1 / 3 of the HALL total value, and the motor enters the locked rotor, the same duty cycle is maintained to continuously drive for a first time period; if the hall value starts to decrease within 500 ms, the folding is normal, if the hall value remains unchanged beyond the first time period, the duty cycle is increased to 100% driving. When the folding position is 0 < hall value < 1 / 3 HALL total value, and the motor enters the locked rotor and the hall value does not change, the folding is driven at a duty cycle of 40%, and stopped after reaching the mechanical limit and locked rotor for 100 ms. hall ≠ 0 and the hall value does not change, at this time the motor does not reach the locked rotor current, the hall value still does not change after continuously driving for a third time period, then the duty cycle is increased to 100% driving, and runs to the folding inner limit position, and then runs to the mechanical limit at a duty cycle of 60%, and stops driving after locked rotor for 100 ms. When the hall value ≠ 0 and the hall value does not change, at this time the motor enters the locked rotor current, the hall value still does not change after continuously driving for 500 ms, then the duty cycle is increased to 100% driving.
[0027] The unfolding driving step: when unfolding, according to the hall value and whether the motor enters the stall, the ice breaking mode and the obstacle mode are controlled. During the unfolding process, when 0 < hall value < 1 / 3 HALL total value, and the motor enters the stall, the ice breaking mode is executed. HALL total value ≥ hall value > 1 / 3 HALL total value, the hall value does not change, and the motor stall is detected between the folding soft stop inner limit and the unfolding soft stop limit, then the obstacle mode is executed. In the ice breaking mode, the door handle is driven according to 100% duty ratio, when HALL total value ≥ hall value > 1 / 3 HALL total value, it is still driven according to 100% duty ratio, if the hall value is detected without change in 500 ms during the continuous driving process, and is between the unfolding outer limit and the folding soft stop inner limit, then the obstacle mode is executed.
[0028] The position calibration step is also included: during the running process of the door handle unfolding and folding once, the hall value is recorded, and the internal calibration hall value of the register is compared. If the error is within 1%, the operation is normally executed, if the error is greater than 1%, a self-learning position calibration is performed once.
[0029] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
