Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle control, in particular to a control method and device of a vehicle door handle, an electronic device, a vehicle and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the times, the hidden door handle is a popular trend of door handle assemblies in recent years, commonly used in new energy vehicles. The hidden door handle is retracted into the sheet metal inside the door, which can reduce the wind resistance of the vehicle, reduce energy consumption, improve the aesthetic and intelligent level, and pop out when needed to allow the user to open the door.

[0003] At present, the inward turning door handle and the flat-out door handle have a handle with a self-locking mechanism in the closing stroke of the door handle after locking the vehicle. However, it is found in actual use that the door handle clamps the hand, the hand cannot be pulled out in a very short time, and forced pulling out can easily injure the hand. For example, in a scene with multiple people, one person prepares to open the door, and the other person actively locks the vehicle, resulting in the door handle closing and clamping the hand. Or one person prepares to open the door, and the other person carries the key away, triggering the remote drop lock, resulting in the door handle closing and clamping the hand.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the safety of the hidden door handle and reduce the occurrence of the problem of the door handle clamping the hand. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a control method and device of a vehicle door handle, an electronic device, a vehicle and a storage medium to solve the technical problem of the hidden door handle clamping the hand, improve the safety of the hidden door handle and reduce the occurrence of the problem of the door handle clamping the hand.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a control method of a vehicle door handle, comprising:

[0007] When the door handle closing signal is received, start the timer to time, and obtain the first timing duration;

[0008] When the first timing duration is less than the first duration threshold, determine whether the hand stays on the door handle;

[0009] If yes, control the timer to restart timing;

[0010] If no, control the timer to continue timing until the first duration threshold;

[0011] When the first timing duration reaches the first duration threshold, control the door handle to perform a closing action to delay the closing time of the door handle.

[0012] The application provides a control method of a vehicle door handle. When a vehicle door handle closing signal is received, the vehicle door handle is not immediately closed, but a timer is started to time, and when a first timing duration reaches a first duration threshold, the timer is controlled to stop timing, and the vehicle door handle is controlled to perform a closing action, so that the closing time of the vehicle door handle is delayed, enough reaction time is left for the user to timely remove the hand, the problem of hand clamping is reduced, and the safety of use is improved.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the control of the vehicle door handle to perform the closing action specifically includes:

[0014] controlling the vehicle door handle to perform a closing motion from an open state to a first closed state;

[0015] when the vehicle door handle is in the first closed state, controlling the timer to restart timing to obtain a second timing duration;

[0016] when the second timing duration is less than a second duration threshold, determining whether a hand stays on the vehicle door handle;

[0017] if yes, controlling the timer to restart timing, and controlling the vehicle door handle to stop the closing motion;

[0018] if no, controlling the timer to continue timing until the second duration threshold;

[0019] when the second timing duration reaches the second duration threshold, controlling the vehicle door handle to perform a motion from the first closed state to a target closed state;

[0020] wherein a stroke of the vehicle door handle from the open state to the first closed state accounts for 10% to 80% of a total stroke of the vehicle door handle from the open state to the target closed state, and the second timing duration is a stay duration of the vehicle door handle in the first closed state.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the determination of whether a hand stays on the vehicle door handle includes: determining whether a microswitch signal or a capacitive switch signal of the vehicle door handle is received.

[0022] if yes, it is determined that the hand stays on the vehicle door handle;

[0023] if no, it is determined that the hand does not stay on the vehicle door handle.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the control method of the vehicle door handle further includes:

[0025] determining whether a vehicle door handle opening signal is received;

[0026] If so, then control the timer to stop counting and control the door handle to move to the open state;

[0027] If not, the door handle will continue to perform the closing action.

[0028] In one possible implementation, determining whether a door handle opening signal is received specifically includes: determining that the current of the motor driving the door handle is greater than or equal to a preset current threshold.

[0029] If so, it is determined that a door handle opening signal has been received;

[0030] If not, it is determined that no door handle opening signal was received.

[0031] In one possible implementation, before starting the timer, the method further includes resetting the timer to zero.

[0032] The present invention also provides a control device for a car door handle, comprising:

[0033] A timer, used to start timing when a signal is received that the door handle is closed;

[0034] The judgment module is used to determine whether there is a hand on the door handle when the first timing duration is less than the first duration threshold.

[0035] The control module includes a first control module, a second control module, and a third control module. The first control module is used to control the timer to restart when a hand is detected on the door handle. The second control module is used to control the timer to continue counting until a first duration threshold is reached when no hand is detected on the door handle. The third control module is used to control the door handle to perform a closing action when the first counting duration reaches the first duration threshold.

[0036] The present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising: a processor and a memory;

[0037] The memory is used to store computer programs;

[0038] The processor is configured to execute the aforementioned door handle control method by executing the computer program.

[0039] The present invention also provides a vehicle including the above-described electronic equipment.

[0040] The present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method for controlling the car door handle.

[0041] This application enables segmented closing of the car door handle. During the process of the car door handle moving from the open state to the first closed state, if the user's hand does not leave the car door handle, the user will feel that the car door handle is closing. This allows the user to know that the car door handle is closing and that the car door cannot be opened and needs to be unlocked. It also gives the user enough time to remove their hand, reducing the risk of pinching their hand and improving safety.

[0066] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0067] In multi-person scenarios, if one person is preparing to open the door while another person actively locks the car, it can easily cause the door handle to close and trap a hand. Alternatively, if one person is preparing to open the door while another person is carrying the key away, triggering the remote locking mechanism, it can also cause the door handle to close and trap a hand. In addition, in automatic locking scenarios, if the waiting time after unlocking is too long, such as when charging and unplugging the charging gun takes time, and the automatic locking time is reached by the time the action is completed and the door is ready to be opened, the door handle may close and trap a hand, posing a safety hazard and increasing the risk of injury to the user.

[0068] In view of this, the door handle control method, device, electronic device, vehicle and storage medium provided by the present invention do not cause the door handle to close immediately when a door handle closing signal is received. Instead, a timer is started and the door handle is controlled to reach the target closed state when the timer reaches a first preset time. This delays the closing time of the door handle, reduces the occurrence of hand pinching problems and improves the safety of use.

[0069] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a method, apparatus, electronic device, vehicle, and storage medium for controlling a car door handle according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0070] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for controlling a car door handle, comprising:

[0071] Step S10: Upon receiving the door handle closing signal, start the timer to obtain the first timing duration;

[0072] Step S20: When the first timing duration is less than the first duration threshold, determine whether there is a hand on the door handle;

[0073] Step S30: If yes, then control the timer to restart.

[0074] Step S40: If not, control the timer to continue counting until the first duration threshold.

[0075] Step S50: When the first timing duration reaches the first duration threshold, control the door handle to perform a closing action to delay the closing time of the door handle.

[0076] The present invention provides a method for controlling a car door handle. When a door handle closing signal is received, the door handle is not immediately closed. Instead, a timer is started to count down the time. When the first countdown time reaches a first timedown threshold, the timer is stopped and the door handle is controlled to perform the closing action. This delays the closing time of the door handle, giving the user enough reaction time to remove their hand in time, reducing the occurrence of hand pinching problems and improving safety.

[0077] In this application, the door handle closing signal may be received via a signal sensor or similar means. (Refer to...) Figure 8 As shown, the situations in which the door handle closing signal is received include, but are not limited to: locking from inside the vehicle, vehicle speed greater than or equal to 15km / h, automatic door locking, PE locking, locking away from the vehicle, facial recognition locking, and NFC locking. In these situations, the vehicle central locking system locks the door handle, and the vehicle central locking system outputs the door handle closing signal to the control module that controls the movement of the door handle. The control module that controls the movement of the door handle receives the door handle closing signal.

[0078] It should be noted that the door handle in this embodiment is equipped with a motor, which can drive the door handle to perform opening and closing movements by rotating the motor clockwise and counterclockwise. For example, when the motor rotates clockwise, the door handle performs an opening movement; conversely, when the motor rotates counterclockwise, the door handle performs a closing movement.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the door handle can be a concealed door handle, etc., without being specifically limited here.

[0080] Step S30 takes into account that if the user's hand has not yet left the door handle, it is convenient to interrupt the closing movement of the door handle in time and execute the opening action of the door handle so that the door handle is kept in the open state, reducing the accident of pinching the hand.

[0081] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 2 As shown, controlling the door handle to perform a closing action specifically includes:

[0082] Step S51: Control the door handle to move from the open state to the first closed state;

[0083] Step S52: When the door handle is in the first closed state, control the timer to start counting again to obtain the second timing duration;

[0084] Step S53: When the second timing duration is less than the second duration threshold, determine whether there is a hand on the door handle;

[0085] Step S54: If yes, then control the timer to restart and control the door handle to stop closing.

[0086] Step S55: If not, control the timer to continue counting until the second duration threshold;

[0087] Step S56: When the second timing duration reaches the second duration threshold, control the door handle to move from the first closed state to the target closed state.

[0088] The travel distance of the door handle from the open state to the first closed state accounts for 10% to 80% of the total travel distance of the door handle from the open state to the target closed state, and the second timing duration is the dwell time of the door handle in the first closed state.

[0089] The target closed state in this application embodiment is the state where the door handle is fully closed, refer to... Figure 7 As shown, the door handle 850 is movably mounted within the handle mounting base 840. The target closed state of the door is when the door handle 850 moves to position A, and the open state is when the door handle 850 moves to position B. The first closed state is when the door handle 850 moves to a position between position A and position B, i.e., within the range indicated by the dashed arrow.

[0090] In one possible implementation, the travel distance of the door handle from the open state to the first closed state can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, or 80% of the total travel distance of the door handle from the open state to the target closed state.

[0091] In one possible implementation, the calculation of the travel distance of the door handle movement can be done by calculating the angle of movement of the door handle. For example, the angle of movement of the door handle from the open state to the first closed state is θ, and the angle of movement of the door handle from the open state to the target closed state is Φ, where θ / Φ is in the range of 10% to 80%.

[0092] Of course, the travel distance of the door handle can also be calculated by the distance the motor that drives the door handle to rotate.

[0093] In this embodiment, the door handle is closed in stages. During the process of the door handle moving from the open state to the first closed state, if the user's hand does not leave the door handle, the user will feel that the door handle is closing. This allows the user to know that the door handle is closing and that the door cannot be opened and needs to be unlocked. It also gives the user enough time to remove their hand, thus improving safety.

[0094] After the user's hand leaves the door handle, the door handle will not immediately move from the first closed state to the target closed state. Instead, it will wait for the second timer to reach the second timer threshold before moving from the first closed state to the target closed state. This further improves the anti-pinch effect of the door handle and enhances the safety of use.

[0095] Furthermore, since the travel distance of the door handle from the open state to the first closed state accounts for 10% to 80% of the total travel distance from the open state to the target closed state, it ensures that when the door handle moves to the first closed state, there is sufficient space for the door handle to open, which will not interfere with the user's hand, making it easy to remove the hand smoothly without causing injury.

[0096] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 3 As shown, determining whether a hand is resting on the door handle includes: step S21, determining whether a micro switch signal or a capacitive switch signal is received from the door handle;

[0097] Step S22: If yes, then it is determined that there is a hand on the door handle;

[0098] Step S23: If not, it is determined that no hand is resting on the door handle.

[0099] The micro switch and the capacitive switch are integrated into the door handle to control the opening of the door handle. This application utilizes the micro switch signal or the capacitive switch signal to switch from the open state to the closed state. The capacitive switch signal will change. Therefore, based on the state of the micro switch or the capacitive switch of the door handle, it can be determined whether there is a hand on the door handle, so as to determine whether the hand has left the door handle.

[0100] When a user touches the microswitch, it causes a change in the signal of the capacitive switch. After the user removes their hand from the door handle, the switching signal of the microswitch or capacitive switch on the door handle will disappear.

[0101] When the microswitch or capacitive switch on the door handle generates a switching signal, it indicates that a hand is on the door handle. When the signal from the microswitch or capacitive switch disappears, it indicates that the switching signal from the microswitch or capacitive switch has disappeared after the user's hand has left the door handle.

[0102] The door handle micro switch is used to control the opening of the electric release lock and is connected to the vehicle's central control system via a wiring harness.

[0103] In one possible implementation method, the test Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the door handle control method provided by the present invention further includes: step S60, determining whether a door handle opening signal is received;

[0104] Step S70: If yes, then control the timer to stop timing and control the door handle to move to the open state;

[0105] Step S80: If not, control the door handle to continue performing the closing action.

[0106] This is to improve safety and prevent accidental pinching of hands. Especially when a person's hand hasn't touched the microswitch on the door handle, and they sense the door handle moving from the open to the first closed state, but haven't promptly removed their hand from the handle, continuing the closing motion could easily result in a pinched hand. Therefore, this application, upon determining that a pinching is likely, controls the door handle to stop closing and controls it to open, achieving a better anti-pinch effect and preventing hand injuries to the user.

[0107] In one possible implementation method, the test Figure 5 As shown, step S60, determining whether a door handle opening signal has been received, specifically includes:

[0108] Step S61: Determine that the current of the motor driving the door handle is greater than or equal to a preset current threshold.

[0109] Step S62: If yes, then it is determined that a door handle opening signal has been received;

[0110] Step S63: If not, it is determined that no door handle opening signal was received.

[0111] It is easy to understand that the door opening signal requires the user to perform a corresponding operation to trigger it. In this example, when the user needs to open the door handle, or prevents the door handle from closing, or when the user's hand is caught in the door handle, the user will touch the door handle and apply force. The sensor detects the change in current of the motor that drives the door handle to determine whether the door opening signal has been received.

[0112] When a user's hand is trapped by a car door handle, the current of the motor that moves the door handle will be greater than or equal to a preset current threshold. The door handle needs to be opened promptly to release the trapped hand and allow the user to easily remove it, preventing further injury. Therefore, a door handle opening signal is determined when the current of the motor moving the door handle is greater than or equal to the preset current threshold.

[0113] If the user applies external force to prevent the door handle from closing during the process of the motor driving the door handle to close, it will be judged that the door handle needs to be opened. This will cause a change in the current of the motor that drives the door handle to move, and the motor will receive a door handle open signal.

[0114] In one possible implementation, during the process of the motor driving the door handle to close, the current signal of the motor driving the door handle is monitored in real time, and the current value of the motor current signal is compared with a preset current threshold. If the current value of the motor current signal is greater than or equal to the preset current threshold, it is determined that the door handle opening signal has been received. In this case, the timer is stopped and the door handle is controlled to move to the open state.

[0115] Conversely, if the motor current signal value is less than the preset current threshold, it is determined that no door opening signal has been received, and the user does not need to open the door handle. In this case, the door handle is controlled to continue to perform the closing action.

[0116] The preset current threshold is a pre-set anti-pinch current value. If the motor current is greater than the preset current value, it means that the motor rotation is obstructed. The reason may be that there is an external force preventing the door handle from closing.

[0117] In related technologies, to prevent hand pinching from car door handles, it is usually necessary to determine the increase in motor current or the decrease in Hall effect value within a certain time period (e.g., 100-200ms) to prevent the problem from occurring. In this application, it is not necessary to determine the decrease in current or Hall effect value. Instead, it determines whether the motor current reaches a preset current threshold within a short period of time, such as 5m (step S-100ms). If the motor current reaches the preset current threshold, it is determined that an opening signal has been received, and the user needs to open the car door handle. By controlling the car door handle to stop its closing movement and controlling the car door handle to open its movement to the open state, the injury caused by the car door handle pinching the hand is avoided.

[0118] The preset current threshold is the current threshold that triggers the anti-pinch function. It can be flexibly set according to usage needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0119] When the motor current is greater than or equal to the preset current threshold, the controller brakes the motor within 10-500ms by short-circuiting it, quickly stopping the motor drive and preventing inertia from continuing to close. After braking, the controller drives the motor to reverse at full voltage, realizing the opening movement of the door handle. Compared with the traditional anti-pinch strategy, which reverses at normal low speed after the anti-pinch is triggered, this application can reduce the time the door handle is pressed against the hand and reduce injury.

[0120] In one possible implementation, before starting the timer, the process also includes resetting the timer to zero.

[0121] In one possible implementation, the first duration threshold is 0–10 s; the second duration threshold is 0–10 s.

[0122] In one possible implementation, the first duration threshold can be a fixed value, such as 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, or 10s. It can be flexibly selected according to the needs of use.

[0123] A shorter first time threshold indicates a shorter closing time for the door handle, thus improving the efficiency of door handle closure. A longer first time threshold provides users with more time to remove their hands from the door handle, resulting in better prevention of hand pinching.

[0124] In one possible implementation, the second duration threshold can be, for example, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, or 10s. It can be flexibly selected according to the needs of use.

[0125] In some examples, the control method for the car door handle provided by the present invention is described in general, including the following steps:

[0126] Step S10: Upon receiving the door handle closing signal, start the timer to obtain the first timing duration;

[0127] Step S20: When the first timing duration is less than the first duration threshold, determine whether there is a hand on the door handle;

[0128] Step S30: If yes, then control the timer to restart.

[0129] In this example, after the timer starts, if the user's hand is still on the door handle and touches the microswitch, the state of the microswitch or capacitive switch will change after the user's hand leaves the door handle. Therefore, based on the state of the microswitch or capacitive switch on the door handle, it can be determined whether the user's hand has moved from touching the door handle to leaving it. For safety reasons, after the user's hand leaves, the timer restarts, and when the first timer reaches the first time threshold, the door handle is controlled to close, thus delaying the closing time of the door handle.

[0130] In some embodiments, the control method for the vehicle door handle provided by the present invention will be described in its entirety, including the following steps:

[0131] Step S10: Upon receiving the door handle closing signal, start the timer to obtain the first timing duration;

[0132] Step S20: When the first timing duration is less than the first duration threshold, determine whether there is a hand on the door handle;

[0133] Step S40: If not, control the timer to continue counting until the first duration threshold.

[0134] Step S50: When the first timing duration reaches the first duration threshold, control the door handle to perform a closing action to delay the closing time of the door handle.

[0135] Specifically, controlling the door handle to perform a closing action includes:

[0136] Step S51: Control the door handle to move from the open state to the first closed state;

[0137] Step S52: When the door handle is in the first closed state, control the timer to start counting again to obtain the second timing duration;

[0138] Step S53: When the second timing duration is less than the second duration threshold, determine whether there is a hand on the door handle;

[0139] Step S55: If not, control the timer to continue counting until the second duration threshold;

[0140] Step S56: When the second timing duration reaches the second duration threshold, control the door handle to move from the first closed state to the target closed state.

[0141] The logic is simple: upon receiving a signal to close the door handle, a timer starts to count down the initial duration. After the timer begins, it checks if a hand is still on the door handle. If so, the timer restarts until the hand is removed. Once the initial duration reaches a threshold, the door handle closes. This takes into account the possibility that the user's hand hasn't yet removed from the door handle. For safety, restarting the timer delays the closing time, effectively preventing hand pinching.

[0142] During the first timing period, if a door handle opening signal is received, specifically when the current of the motor driving the door handle is greater than or equal to a preset current threshold, it is determined that a door handle opening signal has been received. Then, the timer is stopped and the door handle is moved to the open state.

[0143] When the first timing duration reaches the first duration threshold, control the door handle to perform a closing action.

[0144] The door handle closing action is controlled in two stages: The first stage involves moving the door handle from an open state to a first closed state, followed by a short wait before the second stage of closing, where the door handle moves from the first closed state to the target closed state. The electric closing motion in this first stage accounts for 10% to 80% of the total closing motion. During this first stage, the user can feel pressure on the door handle, indicating that it is about to close and the door cannot be opened without unlocking. After the first stage of electric closing, the door handle stops closing, and the controller times out (0-10 seconds) before initiating the second stage of electric closing.

[0145] Specifically, the door handle is controlled to move from the open state to the first closed state. Then, when the door handle is in the first closed state, the timer is restarted to obtain a second timing duration. If the second timing duration is less than the second timing threshold, and the user's hand touches the micro switch or capacitive switch, it will be determined that there is a hand on the door handle. The timer will then stop and the door handle will stop closing until the user's hand leaves. When it is determined that there is no hand on the door handle, the timer will restart to the second timing threshold. When the second timing duration reaches the second timing threshold, the door handle will move from the first closed state to the target closed state.

[0146] If, during the process of controlling the door handle to perform a closing action, specifically during the period when controlling the door handle to move from the open state to the first closed state, when the door handle is in the first closed state, and during the period when controlling the door handle to move from the first closed state to the target closed state, if a door handle opening signal is received, specifically when the current of the motor driving the door handle is greater than or equal to a preset current threshold, it is determined that a door handle opening signal has been received, then the timer is stopped, and the door handle is moved to the open state.

[0147] refer to Figure 9 As shown, the present invention also provides a control device for a car door handle, comprising:

[0148] Timer 810 is used to start the timer when a door handle closing signal is received;

[0149] The judgment module 820 is used to determine whether there is a hand on the door handle when the first timing duration is less than the first duration threshold.

[0150] The control module 830 includes a first control module 831, a second control module 832, and a third control module 833. The first control module 831 is used to control the timer to restart when a hand is detected on the door handle.

[0151] In one possible implementation, the door handle control device also includes a timer reset module, which is used to reset the timer before starting the timer.

[0152] The timer, the judgment module, the first control module, the second control module, and the third control module are electrically connected to implement the above control method.

[0153] refer to Figure 10 As shown, the present invention also provides an electronic device, including: a memory 910 and a processor 920;

[0154] Memory 910 is used to store computer programs;

[0155] The processor 920 is configured to execute the aforementioned door handle control method by executing a computer program.

[0156] The memory 910 and the processor 920 are connected via bus 930.

[0157] The processor 920 can be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. The processor can be a general-purpose processor. For example, it can be a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, or discrete hardware components, capable of implementing or executing the methods, steps, and logic block diagrams disclosed in the embodiments of this application.

[0158] The memory 910 may be, but is not limited to, random access memory, read-only memory, programmable read-only memory, erasable programmable read-only memory, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory, etc.

[0159] In this embodiment, the memory 910 can be used to store a program, and the processor 920 executes the program after receiving an execution instruction.

[0160] The present invention also provides a vehicle including the above-described electronic equipment.

[0161] The present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the above-described method for controlling the car door handle.

[0163] This disclosure also provides a program product including executable instructions stored in a storage medium, which is a readable storage medium, from which a processor 920 can read the executable instructions, and at least one processor 920 executes the executable instructions, thereby enabling the implementation of the various embodiments described above.

[0164] This invention can effectively solve the problem of hand pinching caused by the handle closing when one person is about to open the car door and another person actively locks the car, or when one person is about to open the door and another person is away with the key, triggering the remote locking mechanism. It allows users to quickly pull their hands out, reducing hand pinching injuries and improving safety.

[0165] In automatic door locking scenarios, the waiting time after unlocking without opening the door can be too long. For example, the charging process may take time, and by the time the user is ready to open the door, the automatic locking time may have elapsed, potentially causing the door handle to close and trap a hand. This invention allows users to quickly remove their hand, reducing the risk of injury and improving safety.
