[0025] With the rapid development of vehicle technology, vehicles have become an important means of transportation in people's daily lives. The rear-wheel steering function of a vehicle can provide a control method in the opposite direction of the front wheels in low-speed reverse parking scenarios, which can shorten the turning radius of the vehicle.

[0026] However, since the rear-wheel steering keeps turning in the opposite direction during reverse parking, there are safety hazards such as increased risk of scratches, magnification of the driver's delicate operations, and increased lateral movement of the vehicle.

[0027] Based on the above description, this embodiment proposes a wheel control method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0028] Step 101: Detect that the vehicle gear is in reverse gear, and determine the target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0029] During specific implementation, the vehicle gear information is obtained. If it is detected that the vehicle gear is the reverse gear, if the vehicle stops and the driver shifts into the reverse gear, it means that the driver has a parking demand, and the target front and rear wheel angle ratio is determined, wherein the target front and rear wheel angle ratio is the ratio of the front wheel angle to the rear wheel angle.

[0030] Step 102, obtaining the front wheel steering angle of the vehicle, and determining the initial rear wheel steering angle according to the target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio and the front wheel steering angle.

[0031] In a specific implementation, the front wheel steering angle of the vehicle is obtained, and the front wheel steering angle of the vehicle can be determined by the steering angle information corresponding to the user's steering wheel. The front wheel steering angle of the vehicle is multiplied by the target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio to obtain the initial rear wheel steering angle.

[0032] Specifically, the vehicle's front wheel turning angle is A, the target front and rear wheel turning angle ratio is B, and the initial rear wheel turning angle is C. The initial rear wheel turning angle is expressed by the formula: C=A×B.

[0033] Exemplarily, the target front and rear wheel turning angle ratio is 0.8, and the vehicle front wheel turning angle is 45 degrees, then the target front and rear wheel turning angle ratio is multiplied by the vehicle front wheel turning angle to obtain an initial rear wheel turning angle of 36 degrees.

[0034] Step 103, in response to detecting an obstacle within the reversing range of the vehicle, obtaining a center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle, and adjusting the initial rear wheel turning angle according to the center of mass distance to obtain a target rear wheel turning angle.

[0035] In specific implementation, the vehicle reversing range is detected, and if an obstacle is detected in the vehicle reversing range, the centroid distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is obtained, wherein the vehicle reversing range is the area detected by the distance detectors arranged around the rear and sides of the vehicle after the vehicle is engaged in the reverse gear, wherein the distance detectors may be radar detection, infrared detection or camera detection, etc. The vehicle range may include the rear area and the side area of ​​the vehicle.

[0036] The detection of obstacles within the reversing range of the vehicle may be performed by a camera or a radar in the vehicle. In this embodiment, the method for determining whether there are obstacles within the reversing range of the vehicle is not specifically limited.

[0037] In this embodiment, obstacles are only a general term, which may include physical obstacles within the reversing range of the vehicle, such as vehicles, people, pets, objects, etc., and may also include objects that restrict parking, such as lane lines.

[0038] After determining the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle, the initial rear wheel turning angle is adjusted according to the center of mass distance to obtain the target rear wheel turning angle.

[0039] Step 104, controlling the rear wheel steering angle of the vehicle to adjust from the current steering angle value to the target rear wheel steering angle.

[0040] In specific implementation, after the target rear wheel steering angle is obtained, the rear wheel steering angle of the vehicle is controlled to be directly adjusted from the current steering angle value to the target rear wheel steering angle.

[0041] Through the above scheme, it is detected that the vehicle gear is in the reverse gear, and the target front and rear wheel angle ratio is determined, so that the rear wheel angle can be determined later according to the target front and rear wheel angle ratio. The front wheel angle of the vehicle is obtained, and the initial rear wheel angle is determined according to the target front and rear wheel angle ratio and the front wheel angle. When an obstacle is detected within the vehicle's reversing range, in order to avoid collision with the obstacle, the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is obtained, and the initial rear wheel angle is adjusted according to the center of mass distance to obtain the target rear wheel angle, and the vehicle's rear wheel angle is controlled to be adjusted from the current angle value to the target rear wheel angle, thereby avoiding collision with the obstacle and reducing safety hazards. At the same time, the rear wheel angle is adjusted in real time during the reversing process to reduce the risk of scratches caused by the reverse rotation of the rear wheel steering, thereby increasing driving safety and improving the convenience of reverse parking.

[0042] In some embodiments, step 101 specifically includes:

[0043] Step 1011, obtaining the vehicle's speed and the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0044] Step 1012: In response to the vehicle speed being less than or equal to a preset speed threshold, taking the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio as a target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0045] or,

[0046] Step 1013, in response to the vehicle speed being greater than a preset speed threshold, a target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor is determined according to the vehicle speed, and the target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor and the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio are multiplied to obtain a target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0047] In a specific implementation, the vehicle includes a vehicle sensor, and the vehicle speed is acquired through the vehicle sensor. An initial front and rear wheel turning angle ratio is acquired, wherein the initial front and rear wheel turning angle ratio is a default front and rear wheel turning angle ratio.

[0048] If the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold, it means that the vehicle speed is low and there is no need to adjust the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio. The initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio is directly used as the target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0049] If the vehicle speed is greater than a preset speed threshold, a target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor corresponding to the vehicle speed is searched in a database according to the vehicle speed, wherein the database stores a correspondence between the vehicle speed and the target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor, wherein the correspondence satisfies that the greater the vehicle speed, the smaller the corresponding target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor. In this embodiment, the target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor is a value less than 1.

[0050] The target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor is multiplied by the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio to obtain the target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0051] Through the above scheme, during the vehicle reversing process, if the vehicle speed is fast, in order to ensure driving safety, the target rear wheel angle control safety factor can be determined to reduce the vehicle's rear wheel angle, eliminate the problem of excessive yaw rate caused by the reverse rotation of the rear wheel angle, and reduce the risk of increasing vehicle instability due to the reverse rotation of the rear wheel at high speed.

[0052] In some embodiments, step 103 specifically includes:

[0053] Step 1031, obtaining the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle.

[0054] Step 1032: In response to the center-of-mass distance being less than a preset distance threshold, determine a first steering angle adjustment value, perform a difference process on the initial rear wheel steering angle and the first steering angle adjustment value, and obtain a target rear wheel steering angle.

[0055] Step 1033, in response to the center-of-mass distance being greater than or equal to a preset distance threshold, determining a second steering angle adjustment value, and adding the initial rear wheel steering angle and the second steering angle adjustment value to obtain a target rear wheel steering angle.

[0056] In a specific implementation, the distance between the center of mass of the obstacle and the vehicle is obtained, and if the center of mass distance is less than a preset distance threshold, a first turning angle adjustment value is determined. The process of determining the first turning angle adjustment value may specifically be:

[0057] The vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed are obtained, and the minimum value of the vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed is selected as the target speed. According to the target speed, a database is searched to obtain a first turning angle adjustment value corresponding to the target speed, wherein the database stores a corresponding relationship between the target speed and the turning angle adjustment value.

[0058] The initial rear wheel steering angle and the first steering angle adjustment value are subjected to a difference process to obtain a target rear wheel steering angle, which is equivalent to reducing the rear wheel steering angle according to the first steering angle adjustment value until the rear wheel steering angle is zero.

[0059] If the centroid distance is greater than or equal to the preset distance threshold, a second turning angle adjustment value is determined. The process of determining the second turning angle adjustment value may specifically be:

[0060] The vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed are obtained, and the minimum value of the vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed is selected as the target speed. According to the target speed, a database is searched to obtain a second turning angle adjustment value corresponding to the target speed, wherein the database stores a corresponding relationship between the target speed and the turning angle adjustment value.

[0061] The initial rear wheel steering angle and the second steering angle adjustment value are added together to obtain a target rear wheel steering angle, which is equivalent to increasing the rear wheel steering angle according to the second steering angle adjustment value until the rear wheel steering angle is the same as the rear wheel steering angle value corresponding to the default front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0062] Through the above scheme, the initial rear wheel turning angle is adjusted according to the center of mass distance, and the adjustment is more accurate. At the same time, when the center of mass distance is less than the preset distance threshold, it can be considered that the current control angle of the rear wheel turning angle increases the risk of scratches, so the rear wheel turning angle should be appropriately reduced to avoid scratches.

[0063] In some embodiments, step 103 specifically includes:

[0064] Step 1031, continuously obtaining the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle for a first preset number of periods, and determining a center of mass distance change state based on the multiple center of mass distances.

[0065] Step 1032, in response to the center of mass distance changing state being continuously reduced within a first preset number of cycles, determining a third steering angle adjustment value, performing a difference process on the initial rear wheel steering angle and the third steering angle adjustment value to obtain a target rear wheel steering angle.

[0066] or,

[0067] Step 1033, in response to the center of mass distance changing state continuously increasing within a first preset number of cycles, determining a fourth turning angle adjustment value, adding the initial rear wheel turning angle and the fourth turning angle adjustment value to obtain a target rear wheel turning angle.

[0068] In specific implementation, the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is continuously obtained for a first preset number of cycles, that is, the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is continuously obtained for a preset number of cycles, and the center of mass distance change state is determined based on multiple center of mass distances, wherein the center of mass distance change state indicates that the center of mass distance continuously increases or continuously decreases within the preset number of cycles.

[0069] If the mass center distance change state is continuously reduced within the first preset number of cycles, a third turning angle adjustment value is determined. The process of determining the third turning angle adjustment value may specifically be:

[0070] The vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed are obtained, and the minimum value of the vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed is selected as the target speed. According to the target speed, a database is searched to obtain a third turning angle adjustment value corresponding to the target speed, wherein the database stores a corresponding relationship between the target speed and the turning angle adjustment value.

[0071] The initial rear wheel steering angle and the third steering angle adjustment value are subjected to a difference process to obtain a target rear wheel steering angle, which is equivalent to reducing the rear wheel steering angle according to the third steering angle adjustment value until the rear wheel steering angle is zero.

[0072] If the mass center distance change state is continuously increasing within the first preset number of cycles, a fourth turning angle adjustment value is determined. The process of determining the fourth turning angle adjustment value may specifically be:

[0073] The vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed are obtained, and the minimum value of the vehicle steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle driving speed is selected as the target speed. According to the target speed, a database is searched to obtain a fourth turning angle adjustment value corresponding to the target speed, wherein the database stores a corresponding relationship between the target speed and the turning angle adjustment value.

[0074] The initial rear wheel steering angle and the fourth steering angle adjustment value are added to obtain a target rear wheel steering angle, which is equivalent to increasing the rear wheel steering angle according to the fourth steering angle adjustment value until the rear wheel steering angle is the same as the rear wheel steering angle value corresponding to the default front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0075] Through the above scheme, the initial rear wheel turning angle is adjusted according to the center of mass distance, and the adjustment is more accurate. At the same time, the center of mass distance of a preset number of cycles is continuously obtained. If the center of mass distance continues to decrease within the preset number of cycles, it can be considered that the current control angle of the rear wheel turning angle increases the risk of scratches. Therefore, the rear wheel turning angle should be appropriately reduced to avoid scratches.

[0076] In some embodiments, step 103 specifically includes:

[0077] Step 103a, obtaining the radar distance between the obstacle and the vehicle and the number of radar distances.

[0078] Step 103b: In response to the number of radar distances being one, using the radar distance as the centroid distance between the obstacle and the vehicle.

[0079] or,

[0080] Step 103c: in response to the number of radar distances being multiple, obtaining vehicle size information, and determining the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle according to the multiple radar distances and the vehicle size information.

[0081] In a specific implementation, the vehicle parking radar can detect the distance information of obstacles during parking, and obtain the radar distance between the obstacle and the vehicle and the number of radar distances, wherein the radar number is the radar distance that can be obtained when the radar detects the obstacle.

[0082] For example, if the vehicle detects an obstacle at only a single angle, there is only one radar distance, and the number of the radar distances is one.

[0083] For another example, if the vehicle detects obstacles at multiple angles, there are multiple radar distances, and the number of radar distances is multiple.

[0084] If the number of radar distances is one, the radar distance is directly used as the centroid distance between the obstacle and the vehicle. If the number of radar distances is multiple, vehicle size information is obtained, and the centroid distance between the obstacle and the vehicle is determined based on the multiple radar distances and the vehicle size information.

[0085] Specifically, coordinate calculation is performed based on multiple radar distances and vehicle size information to obtain the center of mass distance between the obstacle and the vehicle.

[0086] Through the above scheme, when there is only a single corner radar distance, the radar distance is used as the centroid distance. When there are multiple corner radar distances, the centroid distance can be calculated based on the multiple radar distances and the vehicle size, and the determination of the centroid distance is more accurate.

[0087] In some embodiments, step 102 specifically includes:

[0088] Step 1021, determining the rear wheel turning angle to be processed according to the target front and rear wheel turning angle ratio and the front wheel turning angle.

[0089] Step 1022, continuously obtain the vehicle steering wheel angles of a second preset number of cycles before the current cycle, and determine the average steering wheel angle based on the multiple vehicle steering wheel angles.

[0090] Step 1023, obtaining the current vehicle steering wheel angle of the current cycle, performing a difference processing on the current vehicle steering wheel angle and the steering wheel angle mean, and obtaining a steering wheel angle difference.

[0091] Step 1024: determining an initial rear wheel angle according to the steering wheel angle difference and the rear wheel angle to be processed.

[0092] In specific implementation, the rear wheel turning angle to be processed is determined according to the target front and rear wheel turning angle ratio and the front wheel turning angle. Specifically, the vehicle front wheel turning angle is multiplied by the target front and rear wheel turning angle ratio to obtain the rear wheel turning angle to be processed.

[0093] The vehicle steering wheel angles of a second preset number of cycles before the current cycle are continuously obtained, and the steering wheel angles of the multiple vehicles are averaged to obtain the steering wheel angle average.

[0094] Exemplarily, the second preset number of cycles is 10, then the vehicle steering wheel angles of 10 consecutive cycles before the current cycle are collected respectively, and the obtained 10 vehicle steering wheel angles are averaged to obtain the steering wheel angle average.

[0095] The current vehicle steering wheel angle of the current cycle is obtained, the current vehicle steering wheel angle is subtracted from the steering wheel angle mean to obtain a steering wheel angle difference, and an initial rear wheel angle is determined according to the steering wheel angle difference and the rear wheel angle to be processed.

[0096] In some embodiments, step 1024 specifically includes:

[0097] Step 10241: In response to the steering wheel angle difference being less than or equal to a preset difference threshold, the historical rear wheel angle of the previous cycle of the current cycle is used as the initial rear wheel angle.

[0098] Step 10242: In response to the steering wheel angle difference being greater than a preset difference threshold, taking the rear wheel angle to be processed as an initial rear wheel angle.

[0099] In specific implementation, if the steering wheel angle difference is less than or equal to the preset difference threshold, it means that the driver has fine-tuned the steering wheel, and it is considered that the driver has the need to fine-tune the steering wheel to adjust the parking trajectory, and the historical rear wheel angle of the previous cycle of the current cycle is used as the initial rear wheel angle.

[0100] If the steering wheel angle difference is greater than a preset difference threshold, the rear wheel angle to be processed is directly used as the initial rear wheel angle.

[0101] Through the above scheme, when the driver fine-tunes the steering wheel and there is a need to fine-tune the steering wheel to adjust the parking trajectory, since the inverse proportional control of the rear-wheel steering has the effect of amplifying the steering of the steering wheel, it is necessary to control the initial rear wheel angle to be the value of the previous cycle that meets the conditions, so as to avoid the rear wheel angle adjustment from affecting the driver's normal parking and improve the user's driving experience.

[0102] Based on the same inventive concept, another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a wheel, specifically comprising:

[0103] The vehicle stops, the driver shifts into reverse gear to prepare for parking, and obtains the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio. The vehicle speed is determined, and if the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the preset speed threshold, the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio is used as the target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio.

[0104] If the vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold, the target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor is determined according to the vehicle speed. The higher the vehicle speed, the lower the target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor. The target rear wheel steering angle control safety factor and the initial front and rear wheel steering angle ratio are multiplied to obtain the target front and rear wheel steering angle ratio. The problem of excessive yaw rate caused by the reverse rotation of the rear wheel steering angle is eliminated, and the risk of vehicle instability caused by the reverse rotation of the rear wheel at high speed is reduced.

[0105] The driver's steering wheel angle is detected, and several operating cycle values ​​are stored and averaged. For example, the cycle is 10 ms, and 10 cycle values ​​are stored and averaged.

[0106] The current steering wheel average value and the current steering wheel angle value are subtracted to obtain the steering wheel angle difference. If the steering wheel angle difference is less than or equal to the preset difference threshold, it is considered that the driver has fine-tuned the steering wheel. At this time, the driver has the need to fine-tune the steering wheel to adjust the parking trajectory. Because the rear wheel steering inverse proportional control has the effect of amplifying the steering wheel steering, the historical rear wheel angle of the previous cycle of the current cycle is used as the initial rear wheel angle.

[0107] If the steering wheel angle difference is greater than a preset difference threshold, the rear wheel angle to be processed is used as an initial rear wheel angle.

[0108] According to the obstacle distance information detected by the vehicle parking radar during parking, if there is only a single corner radar distance, it is considered to be the distance to the center of mass of the vehicle. If there are multiple corner radar distance information, the obstacle distance to the center of mass of the vehicle is calculated based on multiple radar distances and vehicle size.

[0109] Detect the change in the distance between the obstacle and the center of mass of the vehicle. If the distance value continues to decrease for a preset number of cycles or decreases to a preset distance threshold, it is considered that the current control angle of the rear wheel steering angle increases the risk of scratches, and the initial rear wheel steering angle is controlled to decrease according to the calibrated gradient until it decreases to 0. The calibrated gradient should be less than the smaller value of the steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle speed change.

[0110] If the distance value continues to increase for a preset number of cycles or is greater than a preset distance threshold, the initial rear wheel steering angle is controlled to increase according to a calibrated gradient until the rear wheel steering angle corresponding to the default front and rear wheel steering angle ratio is reached. The calibrated gradient should be less than the smaller value of the steering wheel rotation speed and the vehicle speed change.

[0111] It should be noted that the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be performed by a single device, such as a computer or a server. The method of the present embodiment can also be applied in a distributed scenario and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In the case of such a distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only perform one or more steps in the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the described method.

[0112] It should be noted that the above describes some embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in an order different from that in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired results. In addition, the processes depicted in the accompanying drawings do not necessarily require the specific order or continuous order shown to achieve the desired results. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.
