[0046] The core of the present invention is to provide a control method, device and system for a tidal seat. Before controlling the tidal seat to be folded or unfolded, it is necessary to determine whether safety conditions are met to avoid accidental injury to passengers. When the number of passengers does not exceed the first preset number, the tidal seat can be unfolded to provide better comfort for the passengers. When the number of passengers exceeds the first preset number, the tidal seat can be folded to increase the standing area so that the vehicle can accommodate more passengers.

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method of a tidal seat provided by the present invention is applied to a processor of a control device of a tidal seat of a vehicle. The control method of the tidal seat includes:

[0049] S11: Determine whether the safety conditions for the tidal seat action are met; if so, proceed to step S12;

[0050] S12: Determine the number of passengers in the vehicle;

[0051] S13: when the number of passengers exceeds a first preset number and a folding signal is received, controlling the tidal seat to fold based on the folding signal;

[0052] S14: When the number of passengers does not exceed a first preset number and a deployment signal is received, controlling the tidal seat to deploy based on the deployment signal.

[0053] Traditional urban rail vehicle seats are all fixedly installed. Regardless of whether the vehicle is in peak or off-peak periods, the seats in the passenger compartment cannot be unfolded or folded. The status of the seats in the passenger compartment cannot be changed according to the actual passenger flow changes, and more humane services cannot be provided to passengers. Tidal seats have the function of folding and unfolding, and can be folded and unfolded according to the actual passenger capacity of the passenger compartment. If the passenger flow is at a peak period, the tidal seats in the passenger compartment will automatically fold to provide passengers with a larger standing area, allowing more passengers to stand in the carriage; if the passenger flow is at a low peak period, the tidal seats in the passenger compartment will automatically unfold to provide passengers with better riding comfort.

[0054] In order to improve the safety of the tidal seat during the unfolding and folding process, certain safety conditions need to be met before the tidal seat can be operated. For example, the tidal seat can be controlled to unfold and fold only when the vehicle is stationary, which can improve the safety of passengers riding in the vehicle. The original intention of the tidal seat is to determine whether the tidal seat is in a folded or unfolded state based on the passenger flow, that is, the number of passengers in the vehicle, so it is necessary to obtain the number of passengers in the vehicle and determine the state of the tidal seat based on the number of passengers.

[0055] Specifically, when there are many passengers, the tidal seats occupy a larger area, which will reduce the standing area, thereby reducing the number of passengers that the vehicle can accommodate. Therefore, the tidal seats are folded at this time to reduce the area occupied by the tidal seats, increase the standing area, and increase the number of passengers that the vehicle can accommodate. When there are fewer passengers, the tidal seats can be unfolded so that passengers can sit down, which improves the comfort of passengers.

[0056] The present application provides a control method for a tidal seat, which relates to the field of vehicle control, including determining whether the safety conditions for the tidal seat action are currently met (including whether there are passengers leaning or standing in the tidal seat area, etc.); determining the number of passengers in the vehicle; when the safety conditions are met and the number of passengers exceeds a first preset number, controlling the tidal seat to fold based on a received folding signal; when the safety conditions are met and the number of passengers does not exceed a first preset number, controlling the tidal seat to unfold based on a received unfolding signal. Before controlling the tidal seat to fold or unfold, it is necessary to determine whether the safety conditions are met to avoid accidental injury to passengers. The tidal seat is controlled to be folded or unfolded based on the number of passengers. When the number of passengers does not exceed the first preset number, the tidal seat can be unfolded to provide better comfort for the passengers. When the number of passengers exceeds the first preset number, the tidal seat can be folded to increase the standing area so that the vehicle can accommodate more passengers.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments:

[0058] In some embodiments, determining whether the safety condition of the tidal seat action is met includes:

[0059] Determine whether the driver's cab of the vehicle sends an occupancy signal;

[0060] Determine whether the vehicle is stationary;

[0061] Determine whether there is no passenger seat backrest in the preset area around the tidal seat;

[0062] Determine whether there are no passengers standing in the area after the tidal seat is deployed;

[0063] If the driver's cab sends an occupancy signal, the vehicle is stationary, there are no passenger seat backs in the preset area around the tidal seat, and no passengers are standing in the area after the tidal seat is deployed, it is determined that the safety conditions for the tidal seat to operate are met.

[0064] When the driver enters the cab and inserts the key, the cab will send an occupation signal to the controller. If the vehicle is not controlled by the driver, it is very unsafe to unfold and fold the tidal seat by itself. In addition, when the vehicle is in operation, it is very unsafe for passengers to unfold or fold the tidal seat, so it is necessary to make sure that the vehicle is stationary, that is, at zero speed.

[0065] If a passenger is leaning on the unfolded tidal seat, folding the tidal seat at this time may cause the passenger to fall. In addition, if the tidal seat is in a folded state, but there are passengers standing in the area after the tidal seat is unfolded, then there are passengers in the nearby area when the tidal seat is unfolded, which may easily hit the passengers.

[0066] Specifically, whether there is a passenger near the seat is determined by using a camera.

[0067] In some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a camera, and determining the number of passengers in the vehicle includes:

[0068] The image inside the vehicle is photographed by a photographing device arranged on the top of the vehicle;

[0069] The number of passengers in the vehicle is determined based on the image within the vehicle.

[0070] The vehicle is equipped with a PIS (Passenger Information System) camera, which will take photos of the passengers and the tidal seats in the vehicle, and determine the number of passengers in the vehicle through the captured images. In addition, the PIS camera will also determine whether there are passengers near the tidal seats. If the tidal seats are leaning against the passenger seat or there are passengers in the unfolded area, the tidal seats will not be moved.

[0071] In some embodiments, the vehicle further comprises a weight collection device;

[0072] Determine the number of occupants in the vehicle, including:

[0073] When the number of passengers in the vehicle is lower than a second preset number, determining the number of passengers in the vehicle according to the image in the vehicle, the second preset number being smaller than the first preset number;

[0074] When the number of passengers in the vehicle is not less than the second preset number and less than the first preset number, determining the number of passengers in the vehicle according to the number of passengers collected by the weight collection device, the weight corresponding to the weight collection device, the number of passengers in the vehicle determined according to the image in the vehicle, and the weight corresponding to the image;

[0075] When the number of passengers in the vehicle is not less than a first preset number, the number of passengers in the vehicle is determined according to the number of passengers collected by the weight collection device.

[0076] Taking into account that when there are many passengers, the number of passengers determined by the captured images is not accurate, and when the number of passengers is small, the number of passengers determined based on the weight collection device is also relatively inaccurate, so the present application also provides a weight collection device, which will determine the number of passengers in the vehicle based on the set weight and the collected total weight.

[0077] Specifically, taking the second preset number of 80 people, the first preset number of 150 people, and the weights of both being 50% as an example, when the number of people in the passenger compartment is less than 80, the PIS video counting signal is used as the vehicle load signal; when the number of people in the passenger compartment is greater than 80 but less than 150, the vehicle load signal uses the video counting signal*0.5+the empty spring load signal*0.5; when the number of people in the passenger compartment is greater than 150, the vehicle load signal uses the empty spring load signal*100%.

[0078] In some embodiments, the control device of the tidal seat further includes a folding switch, a centralized control switch and a remote control module all connected to the controller, and controls the folding of the tidal seat based on the folding signal, including:

[0079] The folding of the tidal seat is controlled based on the folding signal sent when the folding switch is pressed, the folding signal sent by the centralized control switch, or the folding signal sent by the remote control module when the remote control module receives the folding signal sent by the ground control center through the control line, and when it is determined that there are no passengers near the tidal seat.

[0080] Local offline mode control: When it is determined that the mode is not maintenance mode and the local offline mode is valid, the tidal seat is controlled according to the local offline mode regardless of whether there is a remote centralized control signal. When a folding signal is received, the tidal seat is folded and stowed, and when an unfolding signal is received, the tidal seat is unfolded and flipped.

[0081] Remote centralized control mode: When the non-maintenance mode and local offline mode are judged to be invalid, the tidal seats are controlled according to the remote centralized control mode. When the centralized control switch or remote control module provides a valid folding signal (high, valid driver's cab occupancy signal, vehicle zero speed signal, valid load signal and tidal seat area personnel approaching signal), the tidal seats are folded and stowed to provide passengers with a larger passenger compartment standing area and improve the space of the crowded passenger area.

[0082] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0083] When the inspection signal is received, no matter whether the folding signal or the unfolding signal is received or not, the tidal seat is controlled to be locked and is not allowed to be unfolded or folded.

[0084] The folding tidal seat control is divided into remote centralized control, local offline control and maintenance mode control. The maintenance mode has the highest priority, the local offline mode is second, and the remote centralized control mode is the lowest. When in maintenance mode, the processor will lock the maintenance mode signal. Regardless of whether there is a remote centralized control signal or a local offline mode signal, the tidal seat is not allowed to fold or unfold, and will remain in the current state until the maintenance mode is released.

[0091] The processor 22 is used to determine whether the safety conditions for the tidal seat action are currently met when the cab occupancy switch K01 is closed and the zero speed signal switch K02 is closed.

[0092] In some embodiments, it also includes a photographing device D4 and a weight collecting device D5;

[0093] The photographing device D4 is connected to the number signal receiving end of the processor and the tidal seat area personnel signal receiving end, and is used to send the number signal representing the number of passengers to the processor 22 through the number signal receiving end, and send the tidal seat area personnel signal representing whether there are passengers near the tidal seat to the processor 22 through the tidal seat area personnel signal receiving end;

[0094] The weight collection device D5 is connected to the load signal receiving terminal of the processor, and is used to send a load signal representing the number of passengers in the vehicle to the processor 22 through the load signal receiving terminal;

[0095] The processor 22 is used to determine the number of passengers in the vehicle according to the number of people signal and the load signal, and to determine whether there are passengers near the tidal seat according to the image signal of people photographed in the tidal seat area.

[0096] The ground control center D1 can send control instructions to the remote control module D2 through the control line, and the remote control module can send signals to the processor 22 or the centralized control switch can send signals to the processor 22.

[0097] In some embodiments, it also includes an offline switch S02, a folding switch S03, an unfolding switch S04, a maintenance mode switch S05 and a centralized control switch S01;

[0098] The first ends of the offline switch S02, the folding switch S03, the unfolding switch S04, and the maintenance mode switch S05 are all connected to a power supply, the second end of the offline switch S02 is connected to the offline signal receiving end of the processor, the second end of the folding switch S03 is connected to the folding signal receiving end of the processor, the second end of the unfolding switch S04 is connected to the unfolding signal receiving end of the processor, and the second end of the maintenance mode switch S05 is connected to the maintenance signal receiving end of the processor;

[0101] The offline switch S02, folding switch S03, unfolding switch S04 and maintenance mode switch S05 all input a high level to the processor 22 when pressed, and the processor 22 determines that the switch is pressed when receiving the high level. When the 1st and 2nd terminals of the centralized control switch S01 are pressed, a folding centralized control signal is input, and when the 3rd and 4th terminals are pressed, an unfolding centralized control signal is input.

[0102] In summary, taking the first preset number of 150 people as an example, the control logic of this application is:

[0103] When the number of passengers in the passenger compartment is less than 150 and the tidal seat area personnel approaching signal (D4) is satisfied at the same time, the tidal seat is allowed to be unfolded, flipped and lowered only when the valid unfolding and flipping centralized control signal (high level) provided by the S01 tidal seat centralized control switch (3-4) or the remote control module (D2) + the driver's cab occupancy signal (K01) is valid (high level) + the vehicle zero speed signal (K02) is valid (high level) are satisfied. When the number of passengers in the passenger compartment is greater than 150, even if the valid unfolding and flipping centralized control signal (high level) provided by the S01 tidal seat centralized control switch (3-4) or the remote control module (D2) + the driver's cab occupancy signal (k01) is valid (high level) + the vehicle zero speed signal (K02) is valid (high level) + the load signal is valid + the tidal seat area personnel approaching signal (D4) are satisfied, the tidal seat is not allowed to be unfolded, flipped and lowered.

[0104] When the number of passengers in the passenger compartment is less than 150 and the tidal seat area personnel approach signal (D4) is met at the same time, the effective folding control signal (high level) provided by the S01 tidal seat control switch (1-2) or the remote control module (D2) + the driver's cab occupancy signal (k01) is valid (high level) + the vehicle zero speed signal (K02) is valid (high level) must also be met, and the tidal seat can also be allowed to be folded and stowed.

[0105] As long as there are passengers on the tidal seat (the personnel approaching signal D4 in the tidal seat area is at a low level), the tidal seat is not allowed to be folded, stowed or flipped down.
