Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle horn, in particular to a vehicle honking method, a controller, a vehicle and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] The horn is one of the devices of the vehicle. The honking sound of the horn can warn pedestrians and attract the attention of other vehicles to ensure traffic safety, and is also used for urging and signal transmission. Since the horn is built-in, the honking sound of the built-in horn is difficult to be transmitted to the outside of the vehicle through the cabin sealing system, resulting in that the honking sound of the built-in horn is weakened when being transmitted to the outside of the vehicle. If the honking sound outside the vehicle is too small, the effect of warning pedestrians and attracting the attention of other vehicles cannot be achieved. In the related art, the honking sound is improved by increasing the number of built-in horns or replacing the built-in horn with a high-power one. However, both of the above-mentioned ways will increase the cost of the vehicle. Therefore, how to improve the honking sound of the built-in horn outside the vehicle without increasing the cost of the vehicle has become a technical problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0036] It should be noted that although the functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram, and the logical order is shown in the flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a manner different from the module division in the device or the order in the flow chart. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0038] First, the terms involved in the present application are analyzed:

[0039] Air intake grille: It is a grille that can automatically adjust the opening degree. It is the largest area in the front face of the vehicle and plays an important role in the role of a vehicle "door face". The core function of the air intake grille is to ensure that the water tank, engine and air conditioner and other components in the vehicle obtain sufficient air ventilation, and at the same time, effectively prevent external foreign objects from causing damage to the interior of the vehicle during driving. In addition, the air intake grille also plays an important role in decorating the front of the vehicle.

[0040] The vehicle horn is generally installed in the vehicle. In the process of transmitting the sound of the built-in horn to the outside of the vehicle, the sound of the built-in horn is weakened when the sound is transmitted to the outside of the vehicle because the built-in horn is in the cabin sealing system, and the built-in horn cannot play a role in warning pedestrians and attracting the attention of other vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the sound of the built-in horn outside the vehicle. In the related art, the sound of the built-in horn can be improved by increasing the number of built-in horns or replacing high-power built-in horns, but both ways will increase the cost of the vehicle.

[0041] Therefore, the vehicle honking method and the controller, the vehicle and the storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are used to receive a honking instruction, control the built-in horn to honk based on the honking instruction, and control the air intake grille to open to a preset target angle based on the honking instruction, so that the honking sound of the built-in horn is transmitted to the outside of the vehicle through the opened air intake grille. That is, the air intake grille is in an open state while the built-in horn is honking, so that the honking sound is not weakened in the process of transmitting the honking sound of the built-in horn to the outside of the vehicle, and the honking sound of the built-in horn outside the vehicle is improved without increasing the cost of the vehicle.

[0042] The vehicle honking method and the controller, the vehicle and the storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail as follows. First, the vehicle honking method in the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is an optional flowchart of the vehicle honking method provided by the embodiments of the present application. The vehicle honking method is applied to a controller of a vehicle, and the vehicle includes a built-in horn and an air intake grille installed in the vehicle, and the air intake grille is communicated with the outside of the vehicle. Figure 1 The method in the above embodiment can include but is not limited to steps S101 to S102.

[0048] Step S101, receiving a honking instruction;

[0049] Step S102, controlling the built-in horn to honk based on the honking instruction, and synchronously controlling the air intake grille to open to a preset target angle, so that the honking sound of the built-in horn is transmitted to the outside of the vehicle.

[0050] In step S101 of some embodiments, when the driver needs to warn pedestrians or attract the attention of other vehicles during driving the vehicle, the driver needs to press the horn button to honk, at which time the controller receives the honking instruction.

[0051] In step S102 of some embodiments, the built-in horn includes a horn relay, and the controller controls the horn relay to close based on the honking instruction, so as to control the built-in horn to honk, so as to achieve the purpose of warning pedestrians or attracting the attention of other vehicles. When the controller controls the horn relay to open, the built-in horn stops honking.

[0052] Specifically, when the built-in horn is controlled to honk, the motor is controlled to open the air intake grille to a preset target angle synchronously. The opening angle of the air intake grille ranges from 0° to 90°, and the preset target angle is greater than 0°. When the air intake grille is opened to the preset target angle, the air intake grille is in an open state, and the honking sound of the built-in horn can be transmitted to the outside of the vehicle through the opened air intake grille.

[0053] It should be noted that when the built-in horn is honking, if the air intake grille is in a closed state, the honking sound will be weakened in the process of being transmitted to the outside of the vehicle due to the blocking of the air intake grille, and the honking sound outside the vehicle will be smaller. When the air intake grille is in an open state, the honking sound can be transmitted to the outside of the vehicle through the opened air intake grille, so as to improve the honking sound of the built-in horn outside the vehicle without increasing the cost of the vehicle.

[0054] Specifically, for some vehicle models with an externally embedded air intake grille, the air intake grille is opened when the built-in horn is honking, and the air intake grille is closed when the built-in horn stops honking. The honking (stopping honking) of the built-in horn is accompanied by the opening (closing) of the air intake grille, which is like the vehicle “speaking with an open mouth”. Through the linkage of the built-in horn and the air intake grille, the agility of the vehicle can be increased to a certain extent.

[0055] The steps S101 to S102 shown in the embodiments of the present application receive the honking instruction, control the built-in horn to honk based on the honking instruction, and synchronously control the air intake grille to open to a preset target angle, so as to transmit the honking sound of the built-in horn to the outside of the vehicle. That is, the built-in horn honks, and the air intake grille is opened at the same time, so that the honking sound is not weakened in the process of being transmitted to the outside of the vehicle without the blocking of the air intake grille, thereby improving the honking sound of the built-in horn outside the vehicle without increasing the cost of the vehicle.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the preset target angle includes a candidate angle or a selected angle, and step S102 can include but is not limited to steps S201 to S203:

[0057] Step S201: controlling the built-in horn to honk based on the honking instruction, and synchronously acquiring an initial angle of the air intake grille;

[0058] Step S202, when the initial angle is in the first preset angle range, control the air intake grille to open to a candidate angle; wherein the candidate angle is the upper limit of the first preset angle range;

[0059] Step S203, when the initial angle is in the second preset angle range, control the air intake grille to open to a selected angle; or, when the initial angle is in the second preset angle range, control the air intake grille to maintain at the initial angle; wherein the selected angle is the upper limit of the second preset angle range, the selected angle is greater than the candidate angle, and any value of the second preset angle range is greater than the upper limit of the first preset angle range.

[0060] In step S201 of some embodiments, it takes a certain length of time for the opening angle of the air intake grille to open from 0° to 90°. Immediately after pressing the horn button, the horn sound will last for a certain length of time, but the duration will be less than the time required for the air intake grille to open from 0° to 90°. For example, if the time required for the opening angle of the air intake grille to open from 0° to 90° is 1s, immediately after pressing the horn button, the duration of the sound of the built-in horn is 0.5s, and the duration of the sound of the built-in horn is less than the time required for the air intake grille to open from 0° to 90°.

[0061] In order to prevent the air intake grille from continuing to open after the built-in horn stops honking, the final opening angle of the air intake grille needs to be controlled according to the initial angle of the air intake grille. Therefore, the preset target angle includes the candidate angle or the selected angle, and the candidate angle or the selected angle is taken as the preset target angle according to different initial angles. The candidate angle is less than the selected angle, the candidate angle is taken as the preset target angle when the initial angle is small. The selected angle is taken as the preset target angle when the initial angle is large. Therefore, in addition to controlling the built-in horn to honk based on the honking instruction, the initial angle of the air intake grille is also obtained based on the honking instruction.

[0062] In step S202 of some embodiments, the first preset angle range can be set to [0°, 45°], and the candidate angle is the upper limit of the first preset angle range, so the candidate angle is 45°. When the initial angle is 0°, it means that the initial angle is in the first preset angle range, and the motor is controlled to drive the air intake grille to open to 45°. Continuing the above example, the time required for the opening angle of the air intake grille to open from 0° to 45° is 0.5s, and immediately after pressing the horn button, the duration of the honking sound is also 0.5s. Therefore, after the built-in horn stops honking, the air intake grille will not continue to open, achieving the improvement of the honking sound of the built-in horn without invalidating the continuous opening of the air intake grille.

[0063] In step S203 of some embodiments, the second preset angle range can be set as (45°, 90°], and the selected angle is the upper limit of the second preset angle range, that is, the selected angle is 90°. When the initial angle is 50°, it indicates that the initial angle is within the second preset angle range, and the control motor drives the air intake grille to open to 90°. The greater the opening angle of the air intake grille, the louder the horn sound outside the vehicle. The time required for the opening angle of the air intake grille to open from 50° to 90° is less than 0.5s. The horn button is pressed and immediately released after the horn button is pressed. The duration of the horn sound is 0.5s. Therefore, after the built-in horn stops honking, the air intake grille will not continue to open. While further improving the honking sound of the built-in horn, the air intake grille will not be continuously opened.

[0064] In step S203 of other embodiments, the second preset angle range can be set as (45°, 90°], and when the initial angle is 50°, the opening angle of the air intake grille can be kept at the initial angle, without the need to control the air intake grille to actuate, while also improving the honking sound of the built-in horn.

[0065] The steps S201 to S203 shown in the embodiment not only control the built-in horn to honk based on the honking instruction, but also obtain the initial angle of the air intake grille based on the honking instruction. When the initial angle is within the first preset angle range, the air intake grille is controlled to open to the candidate angle. When the initial angle is within the second preset angle range, the air intake grille is controlled to open to the selected angle. This can prevent the air intake grille from continuously opening after the built-in horn stops honking, and improve the honking sound of the built-in horn without continuously opening the air intake grille.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, after step S202, the vehicle honking method can further include but is not limited to steps S301 to S302:

[0067] Step S301: obtaining a target duration of continuously receiving a honking instruction;

[0068] Step S302: when the target duration is greater than a preset duration, controlling the air intake grille to open from the candidate angle to the selected angle.

[0069] In step S301 of some embodiments, when the driver presses the horn button and does not immediately release it, the vehicle will continuously receive the honking instruction. The duration of continuously receiving the honking instruction is obtained to obtain the target duration.

[0070] In step S302 of some embodiments, the target duration is acquired in real time, and when the target duration is greater than the preset duration, the motor is controlled to drive the air intake grille to open from the candidate angle to the selected angle. Continuing with the above example, when the target duration is greater than the preset duration, the motor is controlled to drive the air intake grille to open from 45° to 90°.

[0071] In an example, the preset duration can be the duration required for the opening angle of the air intake grille to open from 0° to 90°. For example, if the duration required for the opening angle of the air intake grille to open from 0° to 90° is 1s, the preset duration is set to 1s.

[0072] The steps S301 to S302 shown in this embodiment acquire the duration for which the horn instruction is continuously received to obtain the target duration. When the target duration is greater than the preset duration, the air intake grille is controlled to open from the candidate angle to the selected angle. Thus, when the driver presses the horn button for a long time, the air intake grille is controlled to open to a larger angle, and the larger the opening angle of the air intake grille, the louder the sound of the built-in horn, thereby further improving the sound of the built-in horn.

[0073] In some embodiments, the preset target angle further includes a selected angle, and step S102 can further include, but is not limited to, the following: controlling the built-in horn to sound based on the horn instruction, and synchronously detecting the current driving condition of the vehicle, and when the vehicle is currently in a low-temperature environment working condition and / or a high-speed driving state, controlling the air intake grille to open to the selected angle; wherein the selected angle is less than the candidate angle.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in a low-temperature environment working condition and / or a high-speed driving state, the air intake grille needs to be opened to the selected angle. The selected angle is less than the candidate angle, and the selected angle can be set to 25°.

[0075] In an example, a preset temperature and a preset speed are set, when it is detected that the ambient temperature is less than the preset temperature, it indicates that the vehicle is in a low-temperature environment working condition. When it is detected that the vehicle speed is greater than the preset speed, it indicates that the vehicle is in a high-speed driving state. After receiving the horn instruction, the built-in horn is controlled to sound based on the horn instruction, and the current driving condition of the vehicle is synchronously detected, and when the vehicle is currently in a low-temperature environment working condition and / or a high-speed driving state, the air intake grille is controlled to open to the selected angle.

[0076] In this embodiment, by detecting the current driving condition of the vehicle, when the vehicle is currently in a low-temperature environment working condition and / or a high-speed driving state, only the air intake grille is controlled to open to the selected angle, and the selected angle is less than the candidate angle. Not only can the sound of the built-in horn be improved, but also the performance of the vehicle can be prevented from being affected when the opening angle of the air intake grille is too large.

[0077] Please refer toFigure 4 In some embodiments, after step S102, the vehicle honking method further includes, but is not limited to, steps S401-S402:

[0078] Step S401, receiving a stop honking instruction;

[0079] Step S402, based on the stop honking instruction, controlling the built-in horn to stop honking, and controlling the air intake grille to perform an air intake grille closing action in response to the stop honking instruction after an interval preset time period;

[0080] In step S401 of some embodiments, after the driver presses the horn button, the driver releases the horn button, and then the controller receives the stop honking instruction.

[0081] In step S402 of some embodiments, when the honking instruction is received, the air intake grille is controlled to open to a preset target angle. When the stop honking instruction is received, if the air intake grille is controlled to close from the preset target angle to 0°, the air intake grille will be frequently opened and closed when the horn button is frequently pressed. Therefore, when the stop honking instruction is received, the air intake grille is not controlled to close from the preset target angle to 0°, but is controlled to perform an air intake grille closing action in response to the stop honking instruction after an interval preset time period. Thus, when the honking instruction is received again within the preset time period, step S102 is performed. The preset time period can be set to 1s.

[0082] The steps S401-S402 shown in the embodiment control the air intake grille to perform an air intake grille closing action in response to the stop honking instruction after an interval preset time period when the stop honking instruction is received. This prevents the air intake grille from being frequently opened and closed when the horn button is frequently pressed in order to improve the honking sound of the built-in horn.

[0083] In some embodiments, while step S402 is performed, the vehicle honking method can further include, but is not limited to, the following: if a grille opening instruction is obtained within the preset time period, the air intake grille is controlled to respond to the grille opening instruction, and the stop honking instruction is invalid for the air intake grille.

[0084] In this embodiment, in addition to the horn instruction, there are other instructions on the vehicle that need to control the intake grille to open. These instructions are referred to as grille opening instructions. Specifically, when the temperature of the power component in the power system is greater than the temperature threshold, it indicates that the power component has cooling requirements and needs to open the intake grille for cooling. At this time, the controller receives the grille opening instruction. The controller calculates the angle at which the intake grille needs to be opened according to the temperature of the power component, the current vehicle speed and the ambient temperature, and controls the intake grille to open to the corresponding angle. When the air conditioner compressor is working, the cooling requirement of the air conditioner compressor needs to be ensured. At this time, the controller also receives the grille opening instruction. The controller calculates the angle at which the intake grille needs to be opened according to the current vehicle speed and the ambient temperature, and controls the intake grille to open to the corresponding angle. If the grille opening instruction is obtained within a preset time period, the intake grille is controlled to respond to the grille opening instruction, and the intake grille is controlled to open to the opening degree indicated by the grille opening instruction. The stop horn instruction is invalid for the intake grille, and the intake grille does not respond to the stop horn instruction, so that the intake grille is not closed.

[0085] Through this embodiment, when the grille opening instruction is obtained within the preset time period, the intake grille is controlled to respond to the grille opening instruction, and the stop horn instruction is invalid for the intake grille. Therefore, while the intake grille is controlled to open according to the horn instruction to improve the sound of the built-in horn, the intake grille is not directly closed according to the stop horn instruction, but the opening degree of the intake grille is adjusted to the opening degree indicated by the grille opening instruction according to the grille opening instruction, so that when other instructions need to control the intake grille to open within the preset time period, the intake grille does not need to be adjusted from 0°, and the response speed of the intake grille is improved.

[0086] In some embodiments, while step S402 is performed, the vehicle honking method can further include, but is not limited to including: if a grille closing instruction is obtained within a preset time period, controlling the intake grille to respond to the grille closing instruction, and the stop horn instruction being invalid for the intake grille.

[0087] In this embodiment, the grille opening instruction cannot be obtained within the preset time period, which indicates that there is no other functional requirement to open the intake grille at the moment. When the grille closing instruction is obtained, the intake grille is controlled to respond to the grille closing instruction to perform the intake grille closing action. The intake grille does not need to be closed after an interval of the preset time period based on the stop horn instruction, so that the intake grille can be closed in advance. Through this embodiment, intelligent control of the intake grille is realized.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 5 The embodiments of the present application also provide a controller applied to a vehicle, which can implement the vehicle honking method described above. The vehicle includes a built-in horn installed in the vehicle and an intake grille communicating with the outside of the vehicle. The controller includes:
