[0030] The present disclosure is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are all illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a smart door system for a vehicle is provided, which is applied to a vehicle door, wherein the vehicle door comprises a vehicle door body, wherein the vehicle door body is connected to a swing arm, and the swing arm cooperates with a mounting point arranged on the vehicle body, so that the vehicle door body can swing with the swing arm to open / close the vehicle door;

[0035] The swing arm mechanism is arranged at a position on the vehicle body corresponding to the door frame, and the swing arm includes an integrally arranged straight section and a track-changing section, and the track-changing section and the straight section have an arc-shaped transition; the straight section is arranged outside the vehicle body, and the track-changing section extends toward the vehicle body; when the door is opened, the door body is swung out through the introduction mechanism, so that the door body can escape from the door frame and open along the direction of the vehicle body; when the door is closed, the door body slides from the straight section into the track-changing section, so that the door body can be completely embedded in the door frame;

[0036] The swing arm is driven by a driving assembly, and the driving assembly is arranged on the vehicle body. The driving assembly drives the swing arm to move, thereby driving the door body to open / close.

[0037] Furthermore, the door includes a door body and a window, the door body is connected to a swing arm, the other end of the swing arm is hinged to the door, the motor is installed on the swing arm, and the swing arm, the electric support rod, the door 2 and the body 1 form a spatial parallel four-bar linkage. The swing arm is hinged to the inner side of the C-pillar of the body;

[0038] Furthermore, when the front and rear doors need to be opened, the motor drives the swing arm, which makes the rear door swing forward and backward while bearing the weight, and the electric strut at the bottom of the door works together to control the movement trajectory of the door and make the door swing clockwise;

[0039] The electric strut is hinged on the vehicle body, and is specifically fixed on the door sill; due to the characteristics of the electric strut, the vehicle door is very stable during the forward and backward translation process and is not prone to shaking.

[0040] The swing structure uses the principle of a parallel four-bar linkage mechanism, and controls the motor through a controller to drive the swing mechanism, so that the door can be swung outwards and the stability of the door can be ensured.

[0041] Further, the vehicle door includes a front door 2, a rear door 3, a left top door 5 and a right top door 4. The front door 2 is provided with a front door window 6, and the rear door 3 is provided with a rear door window 7. The front door and the rear door can be displaced on the side of the vehicle with the swing arm, and can be displaced laterally outward from the B-pillar of the vehicle and toward the rear of the vehicle. The pulley is configured to be selectively locked on the B-pillar. When it is opened, it can fully open the corresponding side entrances and exits of the vehicle body.

[0042] Furthermore, the controller controls the motor, electric strut and other mechanisms to enable the door to open and close.

[0043] The swing arm is driven by a driving assembly, and the driving assembly, that is, a motor, is arranged on the vehicle body. The driving assembly drives the pulley to swing on the slide rail, thereby driving the door body to open.

[0044] The top door is a frame structure, which can be opened to any angle by a control method, and is movably mounted to the vehicle body. The top door can be opened together with the lateral opening of the rear door, thereby providing an opening space for passengers to enter and exit the vehicle more conveniently. Passengers can enter and exit through the door more conveniently, without having to bend down when entering and exiting the vehicle. This helps to improve the user experience of passengers.

[0045] The roof door is disposed at the top of the vehicle and opens in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle during the opening process.

[0046] Furthermore, the door system is related to the state of the vehicle's charging port / fueling port during the opening process. When the vehicle's charging port / fueling port is opened, the door is in a closed state, so the door and the vehicle's charging port / fueling port are provided with an interlocking logic.

[0047] Furthermore, the interlock logic controls the status of the door and the vehicle charging port / fuel port through the controller, and then determines whether the door can be opened at this time.

[0048] The automobile door system includes a sensing device that can sense the external environment of the vehicle. The top door can be adjusted to an openable state and a closed state based on the external environment of the vehicle. In the openable state, the top door can be opened in response to an opening operation or a closing operation of a side door.

[0049] Furthermore, the sensing device is a fusion device of a temperature sensor and a millimeter-wave radar to detect obstacles above the top cover door and temperature changes.

[0050] The vehicle door system may further include a switch, the switch being capable of receiving a control command. The top door may be configured to be capable of opening in response to the control command received by the switch.

[0051] As an embodiment, when passengers need to get on or off the vehicle, the door controller identifies, judges and processes the received instructions to achieve the door opening angle or time, and completes the door opening or closing action through the door lock mechanism or other related components.

[0052] As an example, Figure 1 As shown, a schematic diagram of an exemplary swing-type vehicle door and a top cover vehicle door of the present disclosure shows the opening process of the vehicle door. Specifically, the top cover vehicle door 4 opens and closes (opens or closes) the top of the vehicle body. The side door includes a front door window 6 corresponding to the front vehicle door 2 on the front side, a rear vehicle door 3 on the rear door side and a corresponding rear door window 7, and the top edges and side edges of the front door window 6 and the rear door window 7 are configured to have a frame.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, when the top cover door 4 of the present disclosure is in operation, it forms an unobstructed space relative to the vehicle body 1, thereby allowing more space above the vehicle body to facilitate passengers to enter and exit.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the door is in an open state, and the door assembly consisting of the front door 2 and the rear door 3 is arranged along the side of the vehicle body 1. The front door 2 and the rear door 3 are moved by the rails to gradually expose the interior space of the vehicle. After the front door 2 is opened, the front door 2 is located on the side of the vehicle body 1 as a whole, thereby completely exposing the interior space of the vehicle.

[0055] Different from the prior art, the vehicle door of the present invention swings relative to the body surface of the vehicle when in operation. After the door is opened, it can save space on the side of the vehicle, allowing more space on the side of the vehicle body to be used as entrances and exits, making it easier for passengers to get on and off the vehicle.

[0056] According to the vehicle door system of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the roof door 4 and the vehicle door can be operated separately, that is, when one of the roof door 4 and the vehicle door is being opened or closed, the other one remains in a closed or open state.

[0057] In one example, the top door 4 can be set to be able to be adjusted to an openable state and a closed state according to the external environment of the vehicle. The door system can open one of the top door 4 and the door while keeping the other closed. For example, when the weather is clear, the external environment of the vehicle body 1 can be sensed, and the door can be controlled to remain closed in the corresponding scene through the built-in logic of the door controller, and only the top door 4 can be opened separately to meet the needs of passengers.

[0058] In one embodiment, when the vehicle door system is in the opening process, when the vehicle charging port / fueling port 8 is opened, the vehicle door is in a closed state, and the required vehicle door and the vehicle charging port / fueling port 8 are provided with an interlocking logic.

[0059] In one embodiment, a door controller is used to control the opening angle and speed of the side door body and the top cover door 4, so that automatic opening and closing can be achieved, thereby improving the comfort of passengers getting on the vehicle.

[0060] For example, when the weather is clear, the system can sense the external environment of the vehicle and control the side doors to remain closed in the corresponding scenario through the built-in logic of the door controller, and only open the roof door to meet the needs of passengers. People need to bend over to get on and off the vehicle every day. This implementation scheme can open the door and the roof door at the same time when getting off the vehicle, meeting the scenario where passengers need to get on and off the vehicle upright.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a control method for an intelligent door system of a vehicle is provided, comprising:

[0063] The sensing device senses the external environment, and the controller receives external information for identification, judgment and processing to realize the door opening angle or time, and sends out the door opening command. The switch receives the command requiring the door to open and controls the door to open, thereby completing the door opening or closing action.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the control method of the door system includes: when working, the charging port / fueling port 8 is locked, and the door controller sends an opening signal, and after receiving the opening angle instruction, the door opening angle and the door opening and closing time are controlled. In addition, the door controller can also execute the following control method.

[0065] In one example, the door controller receives a door opening request and sends an opening signal to control the door / top door 4 to open.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, a door opening request is detected, and the door opening request is used to request the vehicle door and / or the top cover door 4 to be opened; upon receiving the request, proceed to the next step;

[0067] Check whether the car door is in normal condition. If it is in normal condition, proceed to the next step.

[0068] Send an opening signal, the opening signal is used to control the opening of the door or the top cover door 4, and can only open the door or only open the top cover door 4 to proceed to the next step;

[0069] Detect whether the door has reached the opening angle, if it has, proceed to the next step to complete the opening of the door or the top cover door 4;

[0070] It should be noted that during the opening process, the vehicle door can be controlled to be opened only while the top door 4 is not opened, and the opening action is completed; the vehicle door and the top door 4 can also be controlled to be opened together to complete the opening and closing. The top door 4 can also be controlled to be opened while the vehicle door is not opened.
