Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle control, and in particular to an electrically adjusted steering column control method, device, equipment and medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electrically adjusted steering column of a vehicle is a torque transmission device that transmits the steering torque of a driver acting on a steering wheel to a steering gear assembly through a steering column to realize the steering function of the vehicle. In addition, the electrically adjusted steering column of the vehicle can also be driven by a motor to adjust the extension and angle of the steering wheel, so that the extension and angle of the steering wheel can be adjusted according to the comfort of the driver, thereby improving the driving comfort.

[0003] However, when the ambient temperature is too low, such as in an environment below-30℃, the grease resistance of the lubricating oil in each part of the electrically adjusted steering column increases, so that the probability of successful driving of the electrically adjusted steering column by the motor is low, which easily leads to failure of the electrically adjusted steering column and affects the user experience. Therefore, how to reduce the probability of failure of the electrically adjusted steering column in a low-temperature environment is a problem that needs to be solved at present. SUMMARY

[0081] The embodiment of the present application provides an electrically adjusted steering column control method, and solves the technical problem of high failure probability of the electrically adjusted steering column after the environment temperature is too low in the prior art.

[0082] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problem, and the general idea is as follows:

[0083] The embodiment of the present application monitors the environment temperature in which the vehicle is located in the vehicle parking state; in the case that the environment temperature is less than a first environment preset temperature, the passenger cabin temperature of the vehicle is monitored; in the case that the passenger cabin temperature is less than a first cabin preset temperature, the electrically adjusted steering column of the vehicle is controlled to drive the steering wheel of the vehicle to move to a preset driving position, and the preset driving position refers to a position convenient for the driver to drive the vehicle. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application analyzes the environment temperature and the passenger cabin temperature, determines whether the electrically adjusted steering column of the vehicle needs to be controlled to drive the steering wheel of the vehicle to move to a preset driving position in advance, so as to realize the welcome and courtesy function of the electrically adjusted steering column in the case of ensuring driving priority. In this way, when the driver needs to use the vehicle, the probability of failure of the electrically adjusted steering column in the low-temperature environment can be reduced to the maximum, and the user experience is improved.

[0084] In order to better understand the above technical scheme, the above technical scheme will be described in detail in combination with the description of the drawings and the specific embodiments.

[0085] Firstly, the term "and / or" appearing in the present text is only to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean that there are three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, the character " / " in the present text generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.

[0086] The vehicle electrically adjustable steering column is a torque transmission device that transmits the steering torque of the driver acting on the steering wheel to the steering gear assembly through the steering column to realize the vehicle steering function. In addition, the vehicle electrically adjustable steering column can also be driven by the motor to adjust the extension and angle of the steering wheel, and the extension and angle of the steering wheel can be adjusted according to the comfort of the driver to improve the riding comfort.

[0087] For example, when the driver parks the vehicle and prepares to get off, the electrically adjustable steering column can be away from the driver's seat, so that the space of the driver's seat is larger, and the driver can get off the vehicle conveniently. When the driver opens the door and prepares to get on the vehicle, the electrically adjustable steering column can be close to the driver's seat, so that the steering wheel is in a position where the driver can normally drive, and the driver can control the vehicle conveniently.

[0088] However, when the environmental temperature is too low, for example, in an environment below-30℃, the grease resistance of the lubricating oil in each part of the electrically adjustable steering column increases, so that the probability of successful driving of the motor to drive the electrically adjustable steering column is low, which can easily cause the electrically adjustable steering column to fail and affect the user experience.

[0089] For example, under the condition that the environmental temperature is too low, when the driver needs to use the vehicle, the electrically adjustable steering column cannot be adjusted to the driving position at low temperature, which causes the driver to be unable to drive the vehicle. Or, when the electrically adjustable steering column stays in the driving position and cannot be adjusted to the avoiding position, the convenience of the driver getting on and off the vehicle is reduced, and the customer experience is reduced.

[0090] The above problems are mainly solved in the related art by two ways. Among them, the first way is that under the condition that the environmental temperature is too low, the driver needs to start the air conditioner and wait for a period of time before the electrically adjustable steering column can be adjusted to the driving position. Usually, the driver needs to wait for about 10 minutes to start the vehicle. The second way is that after the driver gets on the vehicle, the electrically adjustable steering column is adjusted extremely slowly, and it takes about 15s to reach the driving position.

[0091] It can be seen that both of the two ways provided in the related art have the problem that the probability of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column in a low-temperature environment is high. Therefore, how to reduce the probability of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column in a low-temperature environment is a problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0092] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an electrically adjustable steering column control system as shown in Figure 1 The electrically adjustable steering column control system comprises an electronic control unit, a region control unit, an electrically adjustable steering column, an outside temperature sensor, an inside temperature sensor, a clock, a power supply, the Internet, a driver's seat door, and a driver's seat safety belt.

[0093] The outside temperature sensor is configured to detect the ambient temperature of the location where the vehicle is located, the inside temperature sensor is configured to detect the cabin temperature of the passenger cabin of the vehicle, the clock is configured to provide the current time (or current time), the power supply is configured to wake up the Internet, the Internet is configured to update the clock and obtain the air temperature forecast data of the location where the vehicle is currently located. The driver's seat door is configured to provide a driver's seat door opening signal, so as to trigger the electrically adjustable steering column to move to a preset driving position, and the driver's seat safety belt is configured to provide a driver's seat safety belt unbuckling signal, so as to trigger the electrically adjustable steering column to move to a preset avoiding position.

[0094] The electronic control unit can be a newly added controller on the vehicle, or an existing controller of the vehicle, configured to obtain data corresponding to the outside temperature sensor, the inside temperature sensor, the clock, the power supply, the Internet, the driver's seat door and the driver's seat safety belt, and execute a kind of electrically adjustable steering column control method subsequently provided by the data of the embodiment of the application. The area control unit is the control unit corresponding to the electrically adjustable steering column in the vehicle.

[0095] Now continue to describe a kind of electrically adjustable steering column control method provided by the embodiment of the application as follows.

[0096] The control method provided by the embodiment of the application is mainly applied to the parking state of the vehicle, that is, the electrically adjustable steering column can be controlled only in the non-moving state such as keeping still and turning off the engine of the vehicle, to ensure the safety of driving and the safety of the electrically adjustable steering column control.

[0097] In addition, the control method provided by the embodiment of the application is mainly applied to a low-temperature scene. For example, the starting condition of the electrically adjustable steering column control method can be preset, and the electrically adjustable steering column control method subsequently mentioned is executed only when the starting condition is met. The starting condition can be that the ambient temperature is below zero (such as-10℃), and the starting condition can also be the duration of winter in the place where the vehicle is located, such as the winter in a certain place is from November 1st to April 30th.

[0098] After the starting condition is met, a kind of electrically adjustable steering column control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be executed, which is specifically described with reference to Figure 2 The method comprises steps S21-S23.

[0099] Step S21, monitoring the ambient temperature of the vehicle;

[0100] Step S22, monitoring the passenger cabin temperature of the vehicle when the ambient temperature is less than the first ambient preset temperature;

[0101] Step S23, in the case that the passenger cabin temperature is less than the first preset cabin temperature, controlling the electric adjustment steering column of the vehicle to drive the steering wheel of the vehicle to move to a preset driving position, the preset driving position refers to a position which is convenient for the driver to drive the vehicle.

[0102] Regarding step S21, the ambient temperature in which the vehicle is located is monitored.

[0103] The ambient temperature is collected by an outside temperature sensor of the vehicle, and the collection frequency of the ambient temperature can be set according to actual conditions, or the frequency of collecting the ambient temperature of the vehicle itself can be used, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0104] After or before step S21 is performed, the first ambient preset temperature can be determined first, which is used to judge whether the current environment is a low-temperature environment, and specifically is used to judge the temperature at which the probability of failure of the electric adjustment steering column is large or small in the current environment. The first ambient preset temperature can be obtained according to industry standards, for example, it can be -30℃.

[0105] In the case that the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first ambient preset temperature, steps S211 and S212 can be continued to be executed.

[0106] Step S211, in response to a driver seat door opening signal of the vehicle, controlling the electric adjustment steering column to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset driving position.

[0107] Step S212, in response to a driver seat safety belt unbuckling signal of the vehicle, controlling the electric adjustment steering column to drive the steering wheel to move to a preset avoiding position, the preset avoiding position is used to facilitate the driver to leave the driver seat.

[0108] Regarding step S211, when the driver opens the driver seat door, a driver seat door opening signal is generated, which means that the driver needs to sit on the driver seat, and then the electric adjustment steering column can be controlled to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset driving position in response to the driver seat door opening signal of the vehicle, so that the driver can sit on the driver seat to drive the vehicle.

[0109] The preset driving position is a position which is convenient for the driver to drive the vehicle, and can be set according to the needs of the driver himself. The mode of the electric adjustment steering column driving the steering wheel to move to the preset driving position is recorded as a welcome mode in the embodiments of the present application.

[0110] Regarding step S212, when the driver unbuckles the driver's seat belt, a driver's seat belt unbuckle signal is generated, which means that the driver needs to get off the vehicle. In response to the driver's seat belt unbuckle signal of the vehicle, the electrically adjustable steering column can be controlled to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset avoidance position, thereby increasing the space of the driver's seat so that the driver can leave the driver's seat.

[0111] The preset avoidance position is a position where the driver can leave the driving seat conveniently and can be set according to the driver's own needs. In the embodiment of the present application, the mode in which the electrically adjustable steering column drives the steering wheel to move to the preset avoidance position is recorded as the courtesy mode.

[0112] When the ambient temperature is lower than the first preset ambient temperature, it indicates that the current environment is an environment where the probability of failure of the electric steering column is relatively high, and step S22 may be continued.

[0113] Regarding step S22 , when the ambient temperature is less than a first ambient preset temperature, the passenger compartment temperature of the vehicle is monitored.

[0114] The passenger compartment temperature is collected by the vehicle's in-vehicle temperature sensor. The frequency of collecting the passenger compartment temperature can be set according to actual conditions, or the frequency of collecting the passenger compartment temperature by the vehicle itself can be used. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0115] When the ambient temperature is lower than the first ambient preset temperature, the vehicle's passenger compartment temperature is monitored, and different strategies are adopted according to the different temperature stages of the passenger compartment temperature. Specifically, the embodiment of the present application sets a first cabin preset temperature, a second cabin preset temperature, and a third cabin preset temperature, and four corresponding temperature stages can be obtained. For details, please refer to Figure 3 The temperature axis diagram is shown.

[0116] The first chamber preset temperature is less than or equal to the second chamber preset temperature, and the third chamber preset temperature is greater than or equal to the second chamber preset temperature. This embodiment of the application provides a method for determining the second chamber preset temperature, specifically comprising steps S221 and S222.

[0117] Step S221, measuring the limit driving temperature corresponding to each component of the electrically adjustable steering column of the vehicle;

[0118] Step S222: determining a preset temperature in the second cabin according to the limit driving temperatures corresponding to the respective components in the electrically adjustable steering column.

[0119] The second cabin preset temperature is used to judge whether the power-adjustable steering column is likely to fail in the current environment. The rotation, rolling or other movements of each part in the power-adjustable steering column mainly rely on lubricating oil and other oils. As the temperature of the lubricating oil decreases, the resistance will become larger and larger. When the resistance is greater than or equal to the driving force of the corresponding part in the power-adjustable steering column, the part cannot move. The temperature at which the part just cannot move is recorded as the limit driving temperature.

[0120] The more parts in the power-adjustable steering column that cannot move, the more serious the failure of the power-adjustable steering column. The limit driving temperatures of different parts in the power-adjustable steering column can be different.

[0121] In specific implementation, the highest limit driving temperature of the corresponding part in the power-adjustable steering column can be used as the second cabin preset temperature, so that the failure of the power-adjustable steering column can be basically avoided. However, this can cause the subsequent step strategy to be implemented frequently, that is, the power-adjustable steering column carrying the steering wheel is frequently driven to switch between the welcome mode and the courtesy mode, causing wear of the parts and affecting user experience.

[0122] The relative central limit driving temperature among the limit driving temperatures of the plurality of parts in the power-adjustable steering column can be used as the second cabin preset temperature. Although this cannot completely avoid the failure of the power-adjustable steering column, it can greatly reduce the probability of the failure of the power-adjustable steering column and reduce the frequency of implementation of the subsequent step strategy. Specifically, the frequency of driving the power-adjustable steering column carrying the steering wheel to switch between the welcome mode and the courtesy mode is reduced, the wear of the parts is reduced, and user experience is improved.

[0123] The second cabin preset temperature is-30℃, which is used as an example to illustrate the subsequent steps. For details, refer to Figure 3 . The first cabin preset temperature can be the second cabin preset temperature itself or smaller than the second cabin preset temperature. The first cabin preset temperature is-32℃, which is used as an example for subsequent illustration. The third cabin preset temperature can be the second cabin preset temperature itself or larger than the second cabin preset temperature. The third cabin preset temperature is-28℃, which is used as an example for subsequent illustration.

[0124] In a case where the passenger cabin temperature is less than the first preset cabin temperature, step S23 is continued. In a case where the passenger cabin temperature is equal to the second preset cabin temperature, steps S31-S33 are continued. In a case where the passenger cabin temperature is greater than the second preset cabin temperature, steps S41-S42 are continued. In a case where the passenger cabin temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset cabin temperature, steps S51-S52 are continued.

[0125] Regarding step S23, in a case where the passenger cabin temperature is less than the first preset cabin temperature, the electric power steering column of the vehicle is controlled to drive the steering wheel of the vehicle to move to a preset driving position, which is a position facilitating driving of the vehicle by the driver.

[0126] In a case where the passenger cabin temperature is less than the first preset cabin temperature, it means that the electric power steering column is highly likely to fail, and therefore, the electric power steering column needs to be controlled in advance to move the steering wheel to the preset driving position, that is, to be in the welcome mode. In this way, the electric power steering column can be in a normal driving state before the driver temporarily uses the vehicle, and the driver does not need to face the risk of failure of the electric power steering column, and can start the vehicle normally after getting on the vehicle.

[0127] For example, at 2:00 in the morning, it is detected that the passenger cabin temperature is less than the first preset cabin temperature, and the electric power steering column of the vehicle is controlled to drive the steering wheel of the vehicle to move to a preset driving position, which is completed at 2:10. At 3:00 in the morning, the driver needs to drive to the hospital, and at this time, the driver can directly start and drive normally after getting on the vehicle, and no longer needs to wait for the electric power steering column to act, reducing the probability of the driver encountering failure of the electric power steering column and improving user experience.

[0128] If the related art is used, at 3:00 in the morning, the driver needs to use the vehicle, and the motor starts to drive the electric power steering column to act when the driver opens the door. Since the electric power steering column is frozen, the driver needs to wait for ten or more minutes to drive normally, which affects user experience.

[0129] Regarding steps S31-S34:

[0130] Regarding step S31, in a case where the passenger cabin temperature is equal to the second preset cabin temperature, weather forecast data between a current time and a preset time at which the sun meets a target state in the future is obtained, the target state is a preset state in which the sun is first met after the current time, and the preset state is sunrise or sunset; and the first preset cabin temperature is less than or equal to the second preset cabin temperature.

[0131] In the case that the temperature in the passenger compartment is equal to the second preset temperature in the cabin, the probability of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column at this temperature is small, but as time goes on and the temperature changes, it can lead to the electrically adjustable steering column developing in the direction of increasing probability of failure, or it can lead to the electrically adjustable steering column developing in the direction of decreasing probability of failure.

[0132] In order to further determine the possibility of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column in the future, the air temperature forecast data between the current time and the preset time when the sun meets the target state in the future can be obtained, and the possibility of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column in the future is predicted according to the air temperature forecast data. The air temperature forecast data can be weather forecast data obtained through the Internet.

[0133] For example, if the current time is in the afternoon, the nearest target state of the sun is sunset, which will cause the temperature to further decrease, and thus the electrically adjustable steering column will develop in the direction of increasing probability of failure. For example, if the current time is 3:00 in the morning, the nearest target state of the sun is sunrise, which will cause the temperature to rise, and thus the electrically adjustable steering column will develop in the direction of decreasing probability of failure.

[0134] On this basis, the embodiment of the present application sets a preset ambient temperature for determining the possibility of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column in the future due to changes in the ambient temperature in the future.

[0135] In the case that the air temperature forecast data indicates that the temperature in the place where the vehicle is located will decrease below the predicted ambient temperature in the future, it indicates that the electrically adjustable steering column has a high probability of failure in the future, and step S32 is continued. In the case that the air temperature forecast data indicates that the temperature in the place where the vehicle is located will not decrease below the predicted ambient temperature in the future, it indicates that the electrically adjustable steering column has a low probability of failure in the future, and step S34 is continued.

[0136] Regarding step S32, in the case that the air temperature forecast data indicates that the temperature in the place where the vehicle is located will decrease below the predicted ambient temperature in the future, it is determined whether the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is less than the predicted ambient temperature.

[0137] The air temperature forecast data generally indicates the temperature data of a large area, and there is a certain difference between the location of the vehicle and the air temperature forecast data. Therefore, in the case that the air temperature forecast data indicates that the temperature in the place where the vehicle is located will decrease below the predicted ambient temperature in the future, it is further determined whether the ambient temperature corresponding to the vehicle at the current time is less than the predicted ambient temperature, in order to determine the influence of the actual ambient temperature around the vehicle on the possibility of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column.

[0138] If the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time around the vehicle is greater than or equal to the predicted ambient temperature, it means that the current location of the vehicle is warmer than the large area corresponding to the temperature prediction data, and the current ambient temperature is less likely to cause the electric power steering column to fail. The electric power steering column can be controlled to remain in the current state, and the monitoring of the ambient temperature is continued to step S21.

[0139] If the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time around the vehicle is less than the predicted ambient temperature, step S33 is continued.

[0140] Regarding step S33, in the case that the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is less than the predicted ambient temperature, the electric power steering column is controlled to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset driving position.

[0141] In the case that the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is less than the predicted ambient temperature, it means that the current location of the vehicle is colder than the large area corresponding to the temperature prediction data, and the current ambient temperature is more likely to cause the electric power steering column to fail. The electric power steering column needs to be controlled to move the steering wheel to the preset driving position, that is, to put the electric power steering column in the welcome mode. In this way, the electric power steering column can be in a normal driving state before the driver temporarily uses the vehicle, so that the driver does not need to face the risk of electric power steering column failure, and can start the vehicle normally after getting on the vehicle.

[0142] Regarding step S34, in the case that the temperature prediction data indicates that the temperature in the local area where the vehicle is located will not decrease below the predicted ambient temperature in the future, the electric power steering column is controlled to maintain the current state.

[0143] In the case that the temperature prediction data indicates that the temperature in the local area where the vehicle is located will not decrease below the predicted ambient temperature in the future, it indicates that the electric power steering column is less likely to fail in the future, and the electric power steering column can be controlled to maintain the current state, and the monitoring of the ambient temperature is continued to step S21.

[0144] Regarding steps S41-S42, they are performed in the case that the passenger compartment temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset cabin temperature.

[0145] Step S41, in response to the seat belt unbuckling signal of the vehicle, the electric power steering column is controlled to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset avoidance position.

[0146] Step S42, in response to the driver seat door opening signal of the vehicle, controlling the electric adjusting steering column to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset driving position.

[0147] The principle of step S41 is similar to that of step S211, and the principle of step S42 is similar to that of step S212. For details, refer to the related description of steps S211-S212, which will not be repeated here.

[0148] Regarding steps S51-S52:

[0149] Step S51, in the case where the passenger cabin temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset cabin temperature, determining whether the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is greater than or equal to the passenger cabin temperature corresponding to the current time; the third preset cabin temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset cabin temperature.

[0150] Step S52, in the case where the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is greater than or equal to the passenger cabin temperature corresponding to the current time, controlling the electric adjusting steering column to drive the steering wheel to move to a preset avoidance position, the preset avoidance position being used to facilitate the driver to leave the driver seat.

[0151] Regarding step S51, in the case where the passenger cabin temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset cabin temperature, continue to determine whether the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is greater than or equal to the passenger cabin temperature, that is, to determine whether the temperature outside the vehicle is higher than the temperature inside the vehicle, and further to determine whether the temperature inside the vehicle can rise with the temperature outside the vehicle.

[0152] In the case where the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is less than the passenger cabin temperature corresponding to the current time, it is determined that the temperature outside the vehicle is lower than the temperature inside the vehicle, which means that the temperature inside the vehicle will continue to decrease with the temperature outside the vehicle. At this time, the possibility of failure of the electric adjusting steering column is still high, and thus it is necessary to control the electric adjusting steering column to continue to maintain the welcome mode, so that the driver can normally drive after getting on the vehicle.

[0153] In the case where the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is greater than or equal to the passenger cabin temperature corresponding to the current time, step S52 is continued to be executed.

[0154] As to step S52, when the ambient temperature corresponding to the current time is greater than or equal to the passenger cabin temperature corresponding to the current time, it means that the temperature inside the vehicle is higher than the temperature outside the vehicle, and the temperature inside the vehicle will rise with the temperature outside the vehicle, so the possibility of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column is reduced, and the electrically adjustable steering column can be controlled to move the steering wheel to the preset avoidance position, that is, to switch to the courtesy mode, so as to facilitate the driver to get in the vehicle, and the electrically adjustable steering column can be controlled to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset driving position in response to the vehicle door opening signal of the driver's seat, so as to ensure that the driver can normally drive after getting in the vehicle.

[0155] For example, when the temperature decreases from daytime to night, in order to ensure that the driver can normally drive the vehicle at night, the electrically adjustable steering column can be controlled to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset driving position in advance, so as to ensure that the driver can normally drive after getting in the vehicle, and reduce the probability of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column.

[0156] When the temperature rises from night to daytime, in order to ensure that the driver can enjoy the courtesy function, the electrically adjustable steering column can be controlled to drive the steering wheel to move to the preset avoidance position after the temperature rises in daytime, so as to control the electrically adjustable steering column to switch between the courtesy and the courtesy in the case that the driver is unaware, which can reduce the probability of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column, and can enable the driver to enjoy the courtesy function when the driver wants to drive the vehicle in daytime, reduce the driver's doubts about driving the vehicle, and improve the user experience.

[0157] In summary, in the vehicle parking state, the ambient temperature of the vehicle is monitored, and when the ambient temperature is less than the first ambient preset temperature, the passenger cabin temperature of the vehicle is monitored, and when the passenger cabin temperature is less than the first cabin preset temperature, the electrically adjustable steering column of the vehicle is controlled to drive the steering wheel of the vehicle to move to the preset driving position. It can be seen that the ambient temperature and the passenger cabin temperature are analyzed to determine whether the electrically adjustable steering column of the vehicle needs to be controlled to drive the steering wheel of the vehicle to move to the preset driving position in advance, so as to realize the courtesy function of the electrically adjustable steering column while ensuring the priority of driving, which can reduce the probability of failure of the electrically adjustable steering column to the greatest extent when the driver needs to drive the vehicle in a low-temperature environment, and improve the user experience.
