Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a control method, device, vehicle and storage medium for an electric side pedal of a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In the process of using vehicles, users' demands for basic vehicle functions have developed towards diversification, youthfulness and intelligence. Based on users' demands for vehicle chassis and performance, sports utility vehicles have emerged. However, although this type of vehicle has good passability, it is generally high above the ground, which is not convenient for some smaller passengers to get on and off the vehicle. Therefore, side pedals are required on this type of vehicle to assist passengers in getting on and off the vehicle.

[0003] Among them, the vehicle side pedals are divided into fixed side pedals and electric side pedals. The fixed side pedals are fixed on both sides of the vehicle door sills and cannot adjust the ground clearance. There is a problem of scratching the trouser legs during getting on and off the vehicle. Moreover, since the fixed side pedals cannot adjust the height from the ground, for cars with a relatively high ground clearance, the convenience of use is not greatly improved. The electric side pedals can reduce the ground clearance of the pedals by flipping the electric side pedals, making it easier for passengers to get on and off the vehicle. At the same time, they can be folded up when not in use, which is more aesthetically pleasing and more practical.

[0004] However, in the related art, the electric side steps are all long strips that run through the front and rear doors and are arranged on both sides of the vehicle body. As long as one door on one side is opened, the electric side step on one side will extend, and the electric side step under the closed door will also extend, resulting in a waste of resources. In addition, the use of the side steps is relatively simple, that is, the electric side steps on both sides of the vehicle body are extended and retracted at the same time, and the control logic is relatively simple and unreasonable, which needs to be improved.

[0028] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0029] The following describes the control method, device, vehicle and storage medium of the vehicle electric side pedal of the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the technical problems that the pedal length runs through the front and rear doors in the related art mentioned in the above background technology, the pedal is too long and the cost is too high, the pedal under the door is not opened will be linked to open, resulting in a waste of resources, and the uniform configuration is difficult to meet the personalized configuration needs of users, the present application provides a control method for the vehicle electric side pedal, in which after receiving the door opening signal of any door of the vehicle, the electric side pedal corresponding to any door is determined, and the corresponding extension action is controlled for the set electric side pedal to switch the operating state of the electric side pedal from the retracted state to the extended state, so as to realize more targeted automatic control of the electric side pedal, with a higher level of intelligence, no need for manual control by the occupant or driver, and safer, and the electric side pedal without opening the door does not need to be extended, the control of the electric side pedal is more reasonable, while effectively reducing the waste of electric energy, avoiding the collision of the electric side pedal with surrounding obstacles.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for controlling an electric side pedal of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the vehicle electric side pedal includes the following steps:

[0032] In step S101 , a door opening signal of any door of the vehicle is received.

[0033] In the actual implementation process, the embodiment of the present application can obtain the door opening signal sent by the door control switch through the vehicle ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and determine which door of the vehicle is opened.

[0034] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, before receiving a door opening signal from any door of the vehicle, it also includes: receiving an electric side pedal mode control instruction from the driver; when the electric side pedal mode control instruction is a lock instruction, prohibiting the electric side pedal from switching states; when the electric side pedal mode control instruction is an open instruction, operating the electric side pedal to switch states.

[0035] In some embodiments, the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application may include a one-touch locking or one-touch opening function of the electric side pedal, and perform corresponding locking or opening actions according to the driver's electric side pedal mode control instructions.

[0036] Among them, the driver's electric side pedal mode control command can be triggered by the vehicle's electronic remote control, the APP of the mobile terminal matched with the vehicle, the instrument screen control or the hard buttons in the car.

[0037] After being triggered, the embodiment of the present application can perform corresponding control according to the driver's electric side pedal mode control instruction. For example, when the driver does not want to use the electric side pedal, he can lock it with one click through the locking instruction to prohibit the electric side pedal from being extended when opening the door.

[0038] In step S102, in response to the door opening signal, the electric side pedal corresponding to any vehicle door is determined, and a telescopic control instruction of the electric side pedal is generated.

[0039] After the vehicle ECU obtains the door opening signal, the embodiment of the present application can determine the electric side pedal corresponding to the door, thereby generating an extension and retraction control instruction for the electric side pedal, so that after the door is opened, only the corresponding electric side pedal is controlled to realize independent linkage between each door and the electric side pedal.

[0040] In step S103, the electric side step is controlled to perform a corresponding extension action by using the extension control instruction, so as to switch the operation state of the electric side step from the retracted state to the extended state.

[0041] As a possible implementation method, the embodiment of the present application can use the extension control instruction to control the electric side pedal to perform the corresponding extension action, so that the operating state of the electric side pedal is switched from the initial retracted state to the extended state.

[0042] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, it also includes: receiving a door closing signal from any vehicle door; updating the telescopic control instruction in response to the door closing signal, and using the updated telescopic control instruction to control the electric side pedal to perform a corresponding retraction action to switch the operating state to the retraction state.

[0043] Similarly, in the embodiment of the present application, when the door is closed, the vehicle ECU can obtain the door closing signal of any door and update the extension and retraction control instruction to control the corresponding electric side pedal to automatically retract, so that the operating state of the electric side pedal is switched from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0044] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, it also includes: when the operating state is the extended state, using at least one sound alarm device and / or at least one optical display device to continuously remind the operating state of the electric side pedal until the operating state is switched to the retracted state.

[0045] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present application can associate the electric side pedal control signal with at least one sound alarm device and / or at least one optical display device to remind the driver of the passengers' getting on / off the vehicle, and cancel the reminder after the passengers get on or off the vehicle and close the door.

[0046] For example, the embodiment of the present application may associate the electric side pedal control signal with the instrument screen and the alarm, and remind the driver through the display on the instrument screen and the prompt sound of the alarm of the passengers getting on / off the vehicle. After the passengers get on / off the vehicle and close the door, the display and the alarm are cleared, indicating that the passengers have completed the action of getting on / off the vehicle.

[0047] In other embodiments, the embodiments of the present application also associate the electric side pedal control signal with an image acquisition device, at least one sound alarm device and / or at least one optical display device.

[0048] For example, an embodiment of the present application can use the vehicle's camera to obtain image data of any door when the electric side step is in the extended state, and use feature collection and / or feature matching to identify the actions of passengers getting on / off the vehicle, and based on the actions of the passengers, use an alarm or instrument screen to make corresponding action reminders to remind the driver of the passengers getting on / off the vehicle, and to facilitate the driver to pay attention to whether the passengers have difficulty getting on / off the vehicle.

[0049] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, while using the updated extension and retraction control instructions to control the electric side pedal, it also includes: obtaining the motor torque of the motor corresponding to the electric side pedal during the retraction action of the electric side pedal; using the motor torque to determine whether the electric side pedal meets the preset retraction obstacle condition; if the electric side pedal meets the preset retraction obstacle condition, then generating a corresponding retraction obstacle reminder based on the motor torque, controlling the electric side pedal to extend in the opposite direction to the target length, and performing the retraction action again until the electric side pedal does not meet the preset retraction obstacle condition.

[0050] It is understandable that during the recovery process of the electric side pedal, an obstacle may be caught. In this case, the motor torque of the motor used to control the extension or recovery of the electric side pedal will change accordingly.

[0051] When the motor torque is greater than a certain torque threshold, the embodiment of the present application can determine that the electric side pedal meets the preset obstacle retraction condition, that is, an obstacle is clamped. At this time, the embodiment of the present application can issue a retraction obstacle reminder and use the motor to control the electric side pedal to operate in reverse, thereby releasing the clamped obstacle.

[0052] Among them, the torque threshold can be set accordingly by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here. The target length can be set accordingly according to the motor torque, the size of the clamped obstacle, etc., or it can be pre-set by the driver. For example, the target length can be set to 3 cm in the embodiment of the present application. After the first reverse operation, the electric side pedal is extended by 3 cm, and then it is determined whether the obstacle is still clamped. If it still exists, it continues to be extended by 3 cm and is determined again until the electric side pedal is extended to the longest length or the obstacle is released.

[0053] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, while using the telescopic control instruction to control the electric side pedal to perform a corresponding extension action, it also includes: obtaining the light intensity in the external environment of the vehicle; when the light intensity is less than or equal to a preset intensity threshold, turning on the lighting of the electric side pedal.

[0054] As a possible implementation method, the electric side step of the embodiment of the present application can be equipped with an active lighting function, which monitors the ambient light in real time through a light sensor. When the brightness of the use environment reaches a certain value, that is, the light intensity in the environment is less than or equal to a certain intensity threshold, the lighting function is automatically turned on, otherwise it is turned off. This is convenient for passengers to get on and off the vehicle in an environment with relatively low brightness, so that passengers can clearly know the location of the pedal to avoid injuries caused by stepping on air. At the same time, it can also prevent smaller animals in the surrounding area from running under the electric side step and being clamped when the electric side step is retracted. It can also remind other traffic participants in the surrounding area to avoid collision accidents when passengers get on and off the vehicle.

[0055] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the working principle of the control method of the vehicle electric side pedal of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail with an embodiment.

[0056] like Figure 2 The structure shown is involved in the actual implementation process of the embodiment of the present application.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, firstly, each door is independently linked with the electric side step to avoid the electric side steps on the closed door side from being extended at the same time, thereby reducing energy waste; secondly, the display and alarm functions of the large central control screen are realized to promptly remind the driver and passengers of the boarding and getting on the vehicle, thereby improving driving safety; thirdly, the electric side step is equipped with an automatic lighting function, so that the driver and passengers can clearly know the position of the pedal in dimly lit scenes, thereby avoiding injuries caused by stepping on empty space.

[0058] Specifically, the embodiments of the present application can be divided into the following five functions:

[0059] The electric side pedal has an independent operation function: the electric side pedal control signal is integrated with the four door control switch signals, and each door is independently linked to the electric side step. When the door is opened, the door control switch sends a door opening signal to the vehicle ECU. After receiving the signal, the vehicle ECU sends a pedal extension signal to control the electric side pedal to extend. When the door is closed, the door control switch sends a door closing signal to the vehicle ECU. After receiving the signal, the vehicle ECU sends a pedal retraction signal to control the electric side pedal to retract, so as to realize the extension / retraction of the electric side pedal on which door is opened / closed, and avoid the simultaneous extension / retraction of the electric side pedal on the side where the door is not opened, so as to use the electric side pedal more reasonably and reduce energy waste.

[0060] The electric side pedal has an operating status feedback function: the electric side pedal control signal is associated with the instrument screen and alarm, and reminds the driver through the display on the instrument screen and the prompt sound of the alarm of the passengers getting on / off the vehicle. After the passengers get on / off the vehicle and close the door, the display and alarm are cleared, indicating that the passengers have completed the action of getting on / off the vehicle.

[0061] The electric side step has an active lighting function: The electric side step is equipped with an active lighting function, which is monitored in real time by a light sensor. When the brightness of the use environment reaches a certain value, the lighting function is automatically turned on, otherwise it is turned off. This makes it convenient for drivers and passengers to get on and off the vehicle in an environment with relatively low brightness, so that drivers and passengers can clearly know the location of the pedal and avoid injuries caused by stepping on empty space.

[0062] The electric side step has an anti-pinch function: when an obstacle is caught during the retraction of the electric side step, when the motor torque reaches a certain value, the electric side step will continuously sound an alarm and run in reverse to release the caught obstacle.

[0063] The electric side pedal has a one-button customization function: the electric side pedal has a one-button locking or one-button opening function. When the driver does not want to use the electric side pedal, the driver is allowed to achieve the one-button locking or one-button opening function through the car's electronic remote control, mobile phone APP or instrument screen.

[0064] According to the control method of the vehicle electric side pedal proposed in the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the door opening signal of any door of the vehicle, the electric side pedal corresponding to any door can be determined, and the corresponding extension action can be controlled for the set electric side pedal to switch the operating state of the electric side pedal from a retracted state to an extended state, thereby realizing more targeted automatic control of the electric side pedal with a higher level of intelligence. It does not require manual control by the occupants or the driver, and is safer. In addition, the electric side pedal does not need to be extended when the door is not opened, and the control of the electric side pedal is more reasonable. While effectively reducing the waste of electric energy, it avoids the collision of the electric side pedal with surrounding obstacles.

[0065] Next, the control device for the electric side pedal of a vehicle proposed in accordance with an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Figure 3 It is a block diagram of a control device for a vehicle electric side pedal according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the control device 10 of the vehicle electric side pedal includes: a first receiving module 100 , a generating module 200 and a first control module 300 .

[0068] Specifically, the first receiving module 100 is used to receive a door opening signal of any door of the vehicle.

[0069] The generating module 200 is used to determine the electric side pedal corresponding to any vehicle door in response to the door opening signal, and to generate a control instruction for extending and retracting the electric side pedal.

[0070] The first control module 300 is used to control the electric side pedal to perform a corresponding extension action using the extension control instruction, so as to switch the operation state of the electric side pedal from the retracted state to the extended state.

[0071] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the control device 10 for the vehicle electric side pedal further includes: a second receiving module and a second control module.

[0072] Wherein, the second receiving module is used to receive a door closing signal of any vehicle door.

[0073] The second control module is used to update the telescopic control instruction in response to the door closing signal, and use the updated telescopic control instruction to control the electric side pedal to perform a corresponding retraction action to switch the operating state to the retraction state.

[0074] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the control device 10 for the vehicle electric side pedal further includes: a reminder module.

[0075] Among them, the reminder module is used to continuously remind the operating state of the electric side pedal using at least one sound alarm device and / or at least one optical display device when the operating state is the extended state until the operating state is switched to the retracted state.

[0076] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the control device 10 for the vehicle electric side pedal further includes: a first acquisition module, a judgment module and a third control module.

[0077] The first acquisition module is used to acquire the motor torque of the motor corresponding to the electric side pedal when the electric side pedal performs a retracting action.

[0078] The judgment module is used to use the motor torque to judge whether the electric side pedal meets the preset retraction obstacle condition.

[0079] The third control module is used to control the electric side pedal to extend to a target length in the opposite direction and perform the retraction action again when the electric side pedal meets the preset retraction obstacle condition, while generating a corresponding retraction obstacle reminder based on the motor torque, until the electric side pedal no longer meets the preset retraction obstacle condition.

[0080] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the control device 10 for the vehicle electric side pedal further includes: a second acquisition module and a fourth control module.

[0081] The second acquisition module is used to acquire the light intensity in the external environment of the vehicle.

[0082] The fourth control module is used to turn on the lighting of the electric side pedal when the light intensity is less than or equal to a preset intensity threshold.

[0083] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present application, the control device 10 for the vehicle electric side pedal further includes: a third receiving module, a fifth control module and a sixth control module.

[0084] Among them, the third receiving module is used to receive the driver's electric side pedal mode control instruction.

[0085] The fifth control module is used to prohibit the electric side pedal from switching the state when the electric side pedal mode control instruction is a locking instruction.

[0086] The sixth control module is used to operate the electric side pedal to switch the state when the electric side pedal mode control instruction is an on instruction.

[0087] It should be noted that the above explanation of the embodiment of the control method of the vehicle electric side pedal is also applicable to the control device of the vehicle electric side pedal of this embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0088] According to the control device for the vehicle electric side pedal proposed in the embodiment of the present application, after receiving a door opening signal from any door of the vehicle, it can determine the electric side pedal corresponding to any door, and control the corresponding extension action of the set electric side pedal to switch the operating state of the electric side pedal from a retracted state to an extended state, thereby realizing more targeted automatic control of the electric side pedal, with a higher level of intelligence. It does not require manual control by the occupants or the driver, and is safer. The electric side pedal does not need to be extended when the door is not opened, and the control of the electric side pedal is more reasonable. While effectively reducing the waste of electric energy, it also avoids the collision of the electric side pedal with surrounding obstacles.
