Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle body control, and more specifically, to a control method, device, vehicle and storage medium of an engine hood. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle's engine hood is also called the engine cover. Its main functions are: to protect the engine and surrounding pipes and other accessories; to prevent the engine from exploding when running in a high temperature, high pressure, and flammable environment for a long time; and to enhance the appearance of the vehicle.

[0003] Traditional engine hood is generally opened by the user's manual control mechanical lock. Specifically, the user can pull the mechanical lock of the engine compartment in the vehicle cab to unlock the engine hood.

[0004] The above-mentioned method of opening the engine hood is relatively complicated. In order to open the engine hood more conveniently and quickly, a micro switch can be provided in the engine hood, so that the user only needs to touch the micro switch to open the engine hood.

[0005] However, although the above method is convenient for users to open or close the engine hood, since the micro switch is arranged outside the vehicle, the anti-theft performance of the motor compartment may be reduced. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present application provides a method, a device, a vehicle and a storage medium for an engine hood, wherein the method can improve the anti-theft performance of the engine compartment.

[0007] In a first aspect, a method for controlling an engine hood is provided, the method comprising:

[0008] When receiving a control request for the engine hood, detecting whether there is a vehicle key within a preset range of the vehicle, the control request including an opening instruction or a closing instruction for controlling the engine hood;

[0009] When there is a vehicle key within a preset range, controlling the engine hood to execute an opening command or a closing command in the control request;

[0010] When the vehicle key does not exist in the preset range, the engine hood is controlled not to execute the opening command or the closing command in the control request.

[0011] In the above technical solution, when a control request for the engine hood is received, it is detected whether there is a vehicle key within a preset range of the vehicle. The engine hood is controlled to be opened or closed only when the key is present. This can prevent other people who do not carry the vehicle key from opening or closing the engine compartment. On the one hand, detecting the key when opening the engine hood can improve the anti-theft performance of the engine compartment. On the other hand, detecting the key when closing the engine hood can prevent the engine hood from being closed due to other factors when the owner wants to open the engine hood.

[0045] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0046] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0047] In the related art, after a micro switch (or a sensor or other device) is set in the engine hood, the user no longer needs to pull the buckle in the cab and manually operate the mechanical lock in the engine hood to open the engine hood, but only needs to touch (press) the micro switch to unlock and open the engine hood. However, in the case of setting a micro switch, anyone including the car owner can open the engine compartment, resulting in a lack of protection for the components and items stored in the engine compartment.

[0048] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a method for controlling an engine hood. This method controls the opening or closing of the engine hood only when the vehicle key is detected, thereby improving the anti-theft performance of the engine compartment.

[0049] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a system architecture provided in an embodiment of the present application. The engine hood control method provided in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 In the system architecture shown, the system may include an engine hood 110 , a body component 120 , a body domain controller 130 , an engine hood controller 140 , and a terminal 150 .

[0050] Among them, the engine hood 110, also known as the engine cover, mainly protects the engine and surrounding pipes and other accessories; prevents the engine from exploding when operating in a long-term high temperature, high pressure, and flammable environment; and improves the appearance of the vehicle.

[0051] Component 120 may be a micro switch, a vehicle display screen, an image acquisition device, a vehicle key, etc., which are arranged on the engine hood 110. The user may initiate a controller request for the engine hood 110 through component 120, such as touching a micro switch, touching a vehicle display screen, etc., to initiate a request to open or close the engine hood 110.

[0052] The body domain controller 130 integrates all basic drivers of body electronics, such as controllers for keys, windows, doors, engine hood, etc.

[0053] The hood control 140 mainly controls the opening and closing of the hood 110 .

[0054] The terminal 150 may be a user's smart phone, smart bracelet or other device, and the user may also initiate a control request for the engine hood 110 through the device.

[0055] Next, the control method of the engine hood provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

[0056] Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling an engine hood provided in an embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the method may be Figure 1 The body domain controller 130 or other controllers in the vehicle shown in the figure are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0057] Exemplarily, the method includes:

[0058] S210, when a control request for the engine hood is received, detecting whether there is a vehicle key within a preset range of the vehicle.

[0059] The engine hood control request includes an opening instruction or a closing instruction of the engine hood.

[0060] Exemplarily, when the body domain controller receives an engine hood opening or closing command initiated by a component or terminal, it detects whether the vehicle key is within a preset range of the vehicle, wherein the preset range includes an interior area of ​​the vehicle (i.e., the cockpit), or an external preset area of ​​the vehicle, such as a range of 10 meters centered on the vehicle.

[0061] It should be understood that when the vehicle key enters a certain range of the vehicle, such as 30m to 50m, the vehicle can detect the vehicle key that matches itself. For example, Figure 3 3 is a schematic diagram of vehicle key detection provided by an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle key 310 is equipped with a radio remote control information generator that can send radio signals. When the key 310 enters a certain range of the vehicle 320 (30 meters to 50 meters around the vehicle), the low-frequency antenna on the vehicle 320 can detect the radio signal sent by the key 310. At this time, the user can unlock the door of the vehicle 320, open the trunk, start the vehicle, etc.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment, since the coverage range of antenna detection is relatively wide (for example: 30m, 50m, etc.), it is not only necessary for the vehicle key to be within the range that the vehicle can recognize, but also necessary to further determine the location of the vehicle key. When the vehicle key position is within the preset range, the body domain controller sends an opening instruction or a closing instruction to the hood controller, and the hood controller controls the hood to execute the opening instruction or the closing instruction in the control request; when the vehicle key position is not within the preset range, the hood is controlled not to execute the opening instruction or the closing instruction in the control request.

[0063] Optionally, the distance between the vehicle key and the vehicle may be determined by a positioning device installed in the vehicle key; the distance between the vehicle key and the vehicle may also be determined based on a received radio signal, which is not specifically limited here.

[0064] Optionally, the engine hood in the embodiment of the present application may be as follows: Figure 4 The conventional hood 410 shown in FIG. (a) may also be as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in Figure (b), a butterfly-open hood includes a left hood 420 (first hood) and a right hood 430 (second hood), and the left hood 420 and the right hood 430 can be controlled separately. For the butterfly-open hood, the user can selectively open the left hood 420 or the right hood 430. When inspecting the engine, the hood to be opened can be selected according to the actual inspection position, thereby reducing the interference of the hood on the field of vision of the maintenance personnel.

[0065] In some embodiments, when the engine hood is a butterfly-opening hood, the control request of the engine hood may include a control request for the first hood (left hood), that is, an opening instruction or a closing instruction to control the first hood (left hood); it may also include a control request for the second hood (right hood), that is, an opening instruction or a closing instruction to control the second hood (right hood).

[0066] In some embodiments, the engine hood control request may be received in any of the following ways:

[0067] Method 1: receiving a user's voice command, and obtaining a control request for the engine hood based on the voice command.

[0068] For example, see Figure 5As shown, when the vehicle is powered on and the speed is less than or equal to 5 km / h, after the vehicle voice function is activated, the user issues a voice command of "open the hood on both sides or the left side or the right side", the voice module transmits the opening request to the body domain controller 130, and the body domain controller 130 makes a judgment and sends an opening command to the engine hood controller 140. After receiving the opening command, the engine hood controller 140 determines whether the current vehicle state meets the conditions for opening the hood, such as whether there is an obstacle above the hood, etc. If the conditions are met, the hood lock buzzer (on both sides or the left side or the right side) is controlled to sound once, and after a delay of 0.5s, the hood lock (on both sides or the left side or the right side) is driven to unlock and the electric support rod (on both sides or the left side or the right side) is rotated forward to the fully open position, and then the hood stops moving;

[0069] When the user issues a voice command of "close the hood on both sides or the left or right side", the voice module transmits the closing request to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a judgment, it sends a closing command to the engine hood controller 140. After receiving the closing command, the engine hood controller 140 determines whether the current vehicle state meets the conditions for closing the hood, such as whether there are obstacles in the engine compartment, etc. If the conditions are met, the (both sides or the left or right side) lock buzzer is controlled to sound once, and after a delay of 0.5s, the (both sides or the left or right side) hood electric support rod is driven to reverse movement, and the (both sides or the left or right side) hood lock is stopped after the (both sides or the left or right side) electric support rod is stopped, and the (both sides or the left or right side) hood lock is driven to self-prime to the full lock position, and the hood stops moving.

[0070] The technical solution in the above example embodiment controls the opening and closing of the engine hood through voice, replacing manual opening and closing of the engine hood, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of use.

[0071] Method 2: receiving a first touch operation of the user on the central control screen of the vehicle, and obtaining a control request for the engine hood based on the first touch operation.

[0072] For example, see Figure 6As shown, when the vehicle is powered on, the speed is less than or equal to 5 km / h, and the vehicle central control screen is activated, click the display logo of the hood on both sides or the left side or the right side on the vehicle central control screen, and the host module will transmit the opening request to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a judgment, it sends an opening instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After receiving the opening instruction, the engine hood controller 140 determines whether the current vehicle state meets the conditions for opening the hood. If so, the hood on both sides or the left side or the right side is controlled to open; when the hood on both sides or the left side or the right side is opened, the user clicks the corresponding logo again, and the host module transmits the closing request to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a judgment, it sends a closing instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After receiving the closing instruction, the engine hood controller 140 determines whether the current vehicle state meets the conditions for closing the hood. If so, the hood on both sides or the left side or the right side is controlled to close.

[0073] The technical solution in the above example embodiment controls the opening and closing of the engine hood through the central control screen, replacing the manual opening and closing of the engine hood, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of use.

[0074] Method 3: receiving a control signal from a key of the vehicle, and obtaining a control request for the engine hood based on the control signal.

[0075] For example, see Figure 7 As shown, under the conditions that the vehicle is powered on, the vehicle speed is less than or equal to 5 km / h, and the vehicle key is within the first predetermined range (30 m) of the vehicle, the hood control key on the key is pressed once, and the high-frequency receiving module sends a left hood opening request to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a determination, it sends a left hood opening instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After the engine hood controller 140 determines that the current vehicle state meets the left hood opening condition, the controller opens the left hood. If the hood control key on the key is pressed twice in succession, the high-frequency receiving module sends a right hood opening request to the body domain controller The body domain controller 130 sends a right-side hood opening instruction to the hood controller 140 after making a determination. After the hood controller 140 determines that the current vehicle state meets the right-side hood opening condition, it controls the right-side hood to open. If the hood control key on the key is pressed continuously for a preset time (2s), the high-frequency receiving module sends a hood opening request on both sides to the body domain controller 130. After making a determination, the body domain controller 130 sends a right-side hood opening instruction to the hood controller 140. When the hood controller 140 determines that the current vehicle state meets the right-side hood opening condition, it controls the hoods on both sides to open simultaneously.

[0076] When the left hood is open, the hood control key is pressed once again, and the high-frequency receiving module sends a request to close the left hood to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a determination, it sends a left hood closing instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After the engine hood controller 140 determines that the vehicle meets the conditions for closing the left hood, it controls the left hood to close; when the right hood is open, the hood control key is pressed twice again, and the high-frequency receiving module sends a request to close the right hood to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a determination, it sends a right hood closing instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After the engine hood controller 140 determines that the vehicle meets the conditions for closing the right hood, it controls the right hood to close; when both sides of the hood are open, the hood control key is pressed for 2 seconds, and the high-frequency receiving module sends a request to close the hoods on both sides to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a determination, it sends a right hood closing instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After the engine hood controller 140 determines that the vehicle meets the conditions for closing the hoods on both sides, it controls the hoods on both sides to close.

[0077] The technical solution in the above example embodiment controls the opening and closing of the engine hood by the vehicle key, replacing the manual opening and closing of the engine hood, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of use.

[0078] Method 4: receiving an operation instruction issued by the user through a terminal device connected to the vehicle, and obtaining a control request for the engine hood based on the operation instruction.

[0079] For example, see Figure 8 As shown, when the vehicle is powered on and the vehicle speed is less than or equal to 5 km / h, the user initiates a control request for the left or right side or both sides of the hood in the APP by operating the APP that establishes a connection with the vehicle, and the vehicle remote communication terminal (Telematics Box, TBOX) module sends the control request to the body domain controller 130. After the body domain controller 130 makes a determination, it sends the opening or closing instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After determining that the vehicle meets the hood opening or closing conditions, the engine hood controller 140 controls the left or right side or both sides of the hood to open or close.

[0080] For another approach, see Fig. 9 As shown, the user initiates a control request for the left side, right side, or both sides of the hood through Bluetooth, the vehicle's Bluetooth low energy (BLE) module receives the control request, and after determination by the body domain controller 130, sends an opening or closing instruction to the hood controller 140. After determining that the vehicle meets the hood opening or closing conditions, the hood controller 140 controls the left side, right side, or both sides of the hood to open or close.

[0081] The technical solution in the above example embodiment controls the opening and closing of the engine hood through APP or Bluetooth, replacing the manual opening and closing of the engine hood, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of use.

[0082] Method 5: receiving a user's gesture operation, and obtaining a control request for the engine hood based on the gesture operation.

[0083] For example, see Fig.10 As shown, when the vehicle is powered on and stationary and the user carries the vehicle key, the user raises his arm for 0.5 seconds on the left or right side of the vehicle within the second predetermined range (5m) of the vehicle, and the image acquisition devices (such as cameras) on both sides of the hood recognize the action and send an opening request to the body domain controller 130. The body domain controller 130 sends an opening instruction to the engine hood controller 140. After determining that the vehicle meets the hood opening conditions, the engine hood controller 140 controls the left or right side or both sides of the hood to open; the user raises his arm in front of the vehicle for 0.5 seconds, and the image acquisition device on the front side of the hood recognizes the action, and controls the hoods on both sides to open via the engine hood controller 140.

[0084] When the left or right hood is in the open state, the user lowers his arm on the left or right side of the vehicle for 0.5 seconds, and the body domain controller 130 sends a closing command to the hood controller 140. After determining that the vehicle meets the hood closing conditions, the hood controller 140 controls the left or right hood to close; the user lowers his arm in front of the vehicle for 0.5 seconds, and the hood controller 140 controls the hoods on both sides to close.

[0085] Through the technical solution in the above example embodiment, the opening and closing of the engine hood is controlled by gestures, instead of manually opening and closing the engine hood, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of use.

[0086] Mode 6: receiving a second touch operation of the user on a micro switch provided on the vehicle, and acquiring a control request for the engine hood based on the second touch operation.

[0087] To facilitate users to open the engine hood outside the vehicle, micro switches can be set on the left and right hoods respectively. Users initiate a control request for the hood by touching the micro switches. The engine hood controller 140 controls the opening or closing of the left or right hood according to the user's touch operation on the left or right micro switches.

[0088] S220: When the vehicle key is within the preset range, the engine hood is controlled to execute an opening instruction or a closing instruction in the control request.

[0089] For example, when there is a vehicle key within a preset range of the vehicle, it can be considered that the control request for the hood is initiated by the vehicle owner, and the body domain controller sends the control request to the hood controller to control the hood to execute the opening instruction or closing instruction in the control request.

[0090] In some embodiments, when the control request for the engine hood is a control request for the left engine hood and / or the right engine, the first engine hood is controlled to execute an opening instruction or a closing instruction in the control request for the first engine hood, and / or the second engine hood is controlled to execute an opening instruction or a closing instruction in the control request for the second engine hood.

[0091] In one possible scenario, the owner forgets the vehicle key in the vehicle. At this time, the vehicle can detect the vehicle key, so non-owners can also open the hood. Therefore, in order to further identify whether the person who initiates the hood control request is the owner, the user who initiates the hood control request can be authenticated. Specifically: when the vehicle key is within a preset range of the vehicle, user image information captured by an image acquisition device is obtained; identity authentication is performed based on the user image information; when the user's identity information is the owner of the vehicle, the hood is controlled to execute the opening or closing instruction in the control request.

[0092] The image acquisition device may be a camera, an infrared imager, a radar, etc. The number of the camera, the infrared imager, and the radar may be one or more, and the installation position may be directly in front of the engine hood or on both sides of the engine hood, which is not specifically limited here.

[0093] Furthermore, the image information collected by the image acquisition device is matched with the pre-entered identity information of the car owner. If the identity authentication is successful, the engine hood is controlled to be opened or closed. If the identity authentication fails, the engine hood is controlled to be in a closed state, and the collected user image information is saved for the convenience of the car owner to view.

[0094] In the above technical solution, when the vehicle key is detected, the user is further authenticated. Only when the authentication is passed, the opening or closing of the engine hood is controlled, which further improves the safety of the engine compartment and prevents non-owners from controlling the engine hood when the vehicle key is left in the car.

[0095] S230: When there is no vehicle key within the preset range, the engine hood is controlled not to execute an opening instruction or a closing instruction in the control request.

[0096] When there is no vehicle key within the preset range, the person who initiates the hood control request may be a non-owner. Therefore, to prevent a non-owner from opening or closing the hood, the body domain controller controls the hood not to execute the opening or closing command in the control request, that is, to keep the hood in its original state at all times.

[0097] In some embodiments, when the control request is a control request for a first hood and / or a second hood, the first hood is controlled not to execute an opening instruction or a closing instruction in the control request for the first hood, and / or the second hood is controlled not to execute an opening instruction or a closing instruction in the control request for the second hood.

[0098] Another possible situation is that when the engine hood is in the open or closed state, an opening or closing instruction of the engine hood is received, for example, the user accidentally touches the engine hood micro switch or the hood logo on the display screen. At this time, the opening instruction or closing instruction in the engine hood control request is not executed.

[0099] In some embodiments, when there is no vehicle key within the preset range, the user can also be reminded of the abnormality through the user terminal. Optionally, the user terminal can remind the user through a pop-up window and display it to the user in text form in the pop-up window, remind the user in the form of a voice broadcast, or remind the user through an alarm sound emitted by the vehicle itself. The user terminal can be a smart device such as a vehicle central control screen, a user's mobile phone, a watch, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0100] Providing reminders to users through user terminals can enable users to discover abnormalities in a timely manner and improve user experience.

[0101] Exemplarily, when there is no key to the vehicle within a preset range, it can be considered that the owner is next to the vehicle but does not carry the key. In the case that the owner does not carry the key, the owner can be further authenticated. If the authentication is successful, the engine hood is controlled to execute the opening or closing instruction in the control request. Specifically, the regular owner of the vehicle can enter the identity information into a database. When the image information collected by the image acquisition device, such as facial information, matches the identity information in the database, it can be determined that the authentication is successful. When the owner is confirmed to be the owner after the authentication is successful, the engine hood can be controlled to open even if the key is not detected within the preset range. On the one hand, the engine hood can be opened conveniently when the owner forgets to carry the key; on the other hand, the engine hood can be opened only after the authentication is successful, which improves the safety of the engine compartment.

[0102] For example, if there is no vehicle key in the preset range, it can be considered that the owner is not next to the vehicle. If the non-owner wants to open the hood when the owner is not next to the vehicle, the owner can be contacted and notified, and after the owner confirms, the hood is remotely controlled to open.

[0103] In one possible scenario, if the owner is not at the vehicle and wants others to help check whether the engine compartment is abnormal, the owner can send a message to the owner. After the owner confirms that he allows others to help check the engine compartment, he can remotely control the opening of the engine hood. For example, he can remotely send an opening command to the engine hood through the terminal bound to the vehicle to control the opening of the engine hood. After checking the engine compartment, if others determine that they need to enter the cockpit for further inspection, they can send a request to open the door to the owner's terminal. After the owner confirms that he allows entry to the cockpit, he can remotely control the opening of the door so that non-owners can enter the cockpit for inspection.

[0104] In another possible scenario, if the owner sends the vehicle to a repair shop for repair, the vehicle key cannot be detected within the preset range because the owner is not next to the vehicle. When the maintenance personnel want to open the hood, the owner can remotely control the hood to open. Specifically, the maintenance personnel can notify the owner through text messages, phone calls, etc. that the hood needs to be opened. The owner can then initiate a control request for the hood on a mobile phone or other terminal. Since the owner's mobile phone is bound to the vehicle, the owner can also remotely control the hood to open in scenarios where the maintenance personnel cannot open it. After the maintenance personnel inspect the engine compartment, if it is determined that further entry into the cockpit is required for inspection, a request to open the door can be sent to the owner's terminal. After the owner confirms that entry to the cockpit is allowed, the door can be remotely opened so that the maintenance personnel can enter the cockpit for inspection.

[0105] When the owner is not next to the vehicle, the hood or door can be opened remotely with the owner's permission for others to inspect and repair it. When the vehicle's engine compartment or other components fail, the vehicle can be repaired in a timely manner to avoid safety hazards and further improve vehicle safety.

[0106] In the above technical solution, when a control request for the engine hood is received, it is detected whether there is a vehicle key within a preset range of the vehicle. The engine hood is controlled to be opened or closed only when the key is present, which can prevent other people who do not carry the vehicle key from opening or closing the engine compartment. On the one hand, detecting the key when opening the engine hood can improve the anti-theft performance of the engine compartment. On the other hand, detecting the key when closing the engine hood can prevent the engine hood from being closed due to other factors when the owner wants to open the engine hood. When the vehicle key is detected, the identity of the user is verified to prevent non-owners from opening or closing the engine hood when the vehicle key is left in the vehicle, thereby further improving the safety of the engine compartment.
