[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and specifically provides a vehicle control method and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, in addition to the safety and power of automobiles, comfort has also become a key factor that manufacturers consider. For example, many medium and large SUVs or MPVs adopt a 223 seat layout in the cabin, that is, two independent seats spaced apart from each other are arranged in the middle row of the cabin, and armrests are provided on both sides of each seat. This not only improves the comfort of the seats, but also forms an aisle between the two seats, which is convenient for rear passengers to get in and out, and improves the flexibility of the space.

[0003] However, the outer armrests of existing vehicle seats will affect passengers getting on and off the vehicle when they are unfolded, making it impossible to take into account both riding comfort and convenience of getting on and off the vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position or the stowed position according to the locking and unlocking state of the seat belt" specifically includes: if the seat belt is in a locked state, controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position; and / or if the seat belt is in an unlocked state, controlling the armrest to rotate to the stowed position.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned control method, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position or the stowed position according to the locking and unlocking status of the seat belt" specifically includes: if the seat belt is in a locked state, controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position; and / or if the seat belt is in an unlocked state, further obtaining the switch status of the vehicle door; according to the switch status of the vehicle door, selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position or the stowed position.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position or the stowed position according to the switch state of the vehicle door" specifically includes: if the vehicle door is in a closed state, controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position; and / or if the vehicle door is in an open state, controlling the armrest to rotate to the stowed position.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the above control method, when the armrest is in the deployed position, the control method of the present invention further includes: obtaining the angle of the seat backrest; and controlling the armrest to rotate to a corresponding position according to the angle of the seat backrest.

[0015] A vehicle comprises a controller configured to execute the above control method.

[0016] In the case of adopting the above technical solution, the vehicle of the present invention includes: a seat, which is slidably connected to the middle row of the vehicle and can move along the width direction of the vehicle; an armrest, which is pivotally connected to the side of the seat close to the door; a driving device, which is drivingly connected to the armrest and can drive the armrest to rotate around a horizontal axis between an extended position and a retracted position; the control method of the present invention includes: obtaining the position of the seat; and selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the extended position or the retracted position according to the position of the seat. Through such a setting, the deployment or retraction of the outer armrest can be controlled according to the seat position in different usage scenarios, so that the armrest can take into account both the comfort of riding and the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle, thereby improving the intelligence level of the vehicle and the user experience.

[0017] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: obtaining the distance between the seat and the door; and selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position according to the distance. Through such a setting, the retraction and extension of the armrest can be more accurately controlled, making the timing of the deployment and retraction of the armrest more accurate and reasonable.

[0018] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: comparing the distance with a preset distance; and selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the extended position or the retracted position according to the comparison result. By such a setting, the seat position adjustment range can be divided into multiple intervals using the preset distance, so that the seat has a corresponding armrest angle corresponding to any position.

[0019] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: if the distance is greater than the preset distance, controlling the armrest to rotate to the extended position; and / or if the distance is not greater than the preset distance, controlling the armrest to rotate to the retracted position. Through such an arrangement, when the seat is close to the door, the horizontal surface on the door interior panel can be used to support the passenger's arm, which not only facilitates the passenger's getting on and off the vehicle, but also ensures the comfort of riding; when the seat is away from the door, the passenger's arm is prevented from not being able to reach the plane structure on the inner side of the door and being unable to be supported.

[0020] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: if the distance is greater than a preset distance, controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position; and / or if the distance is not greater than the preset distance, further obtaining the locking and unlocking state of the seat belt; and selectively controlling the armrest to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position according to the locking and unlocking state of the seat belt. Through such a setting, the control logic of the armrest retraction and extension is refined, the armrest retraction conditions are increased, the probability of misjudgment of passengers getting on and off the vehicle is reduced, and the accuracy of the armrest control is improved.

[0021] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: if the seat belt is in a locked state, the armrest is controlled to rotate to the deployed position; and / or if the seat belt is in an unlocked state, the armrest is controlled to rotate to the stowed position. Through such a setting, a specific use case is added, that is, during the normal driving of the vehicle, the passenger only adjusts the seat to a position close to the door without getting on or off the vehicle. At this time, there is no need to rotate the armrest to the stowed position, so as to ensure that the passenger can use the armrest normally when the seat is in a position close to the door, thereby improving the riding comfort of the seat at the doorside position.

[0022] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: if the seat belt is in a locked state, the armrest is controlled to rotate to the deployed position; and / or if the seat belt is in an unlocked state, the switch state of the door is further obtained; according to the switch state of the door, the armrest is selectively controlled to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position. Through such a setting, the control logic of the armrest is further refined, the door switch state is added as a retractable condition, the probability of misjudgment of passengers getting on and off the vehicle is further reduced, and the accuracy of the armrest control is improved.

[0023] Furthermore, the control method of the present invention further includes: if the door is closed, the armrest is controlled to rotate to the extended position; and / or if the door is open, the armrest is controlled to rotate to the stowed position. Through such a setting, a specific use case is added, that is, when the vehicle stops midway, the passenger adjusts the seat to a position close to the door and unfastens the seat belt to rest without actually getting on or off the vehicle. At this time, there is no need to rotate the armrest to the stowed position, ensuring that the passenger can use the armrest normally when stopping and resting, thereby improving the riding comfort of the seat at the doorside position.

[0024] Furthermore, when the armrest is in the unfolded position, the control method of the present invention further includes: obtaining the angle of the seat backrest; and controlling the armrest to rotate to a corresponding position according to the angle of the backrest. Through such a setting, the angle of the armrest can be adaptively adjusted with the angle of the backrest to ensure that the armrest can provide good support for the arm at different backrest tilt angles.

[0025] In addition, the vehicle further provided by the present invention on the basis of the above-mentioned control method has the technical effects of the above-mentioned control method due to the adoption of the above-mentioned control method.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, terms such as "inside", "outside", and "bottom" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] Based on the problem pointed out in the background art that the outer armrests of existing vehicle seats cannot take into account both riding comfort and convenience of getting on and off the vehicle at the same time. The present invention provides a vehicle control method and a vehicle, aiming to link the angle adjustment of the armrest with the position adjustment of the seat, and control the retraction and extension of the armrest according to the position of the seat, so that when the seat moves to the viewing position inside the cabin, the armrest can be unfolded to improve the riding comfort of the seat; when the seat moves to a position close to the door, the armrest can be retracted to ensure normal getting on and off of the vehicle by passengers.

[0040] At present, many medium and large SUVs or MPVs adopt a 223 seat layout in the cabin, that is, two independent seats spaced apart from each other are arranged in the middle row of the cabin, and armrests are provided on both sides of each seat. This not only improves the comfort and functionality of the seats, but also forms an aisle between the two seats, making it easier for rear passengers to get in and out, thereby improving the flexibility of the space.

[0041] However, since the armrests arranged on the outside of the seats are close to the vehicle door, they will cause certain obstacles to passengers getting on and off the vehicle when they are unfolded, causing passengers to easily collide with the armrests, affecting the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle.

[0042] This means that passengers need to fold up the armrests before getting on and off the vehicle, and then unfold them after sitting down. In particular, the seats of many vehicles also have a position adjustment function, which allows the seats to move along the width of the vehicle body, so that the seats can be adjusted to a position close to the middle during normal driving of the vehicle, which is convenient for passengers to use the on-board screen in front and improve the viewing effect; when getting on and off the vehicle, the seats can be adjusted to a position close to the door for easy getting on and off. In the process of adjusting the seat position laterally, the armrests on the outside of the seat also need to be adjusted frequently to meet the riding comfort when the seat is in the middle position and the convenience when it is near the door. The adjustment process is cumbersome and affects the passengers' car experience.

[0043] Based on the above reasons, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle of the present invention is also equipped with a position-adjustable seat 1, and a set of moving devices 4 is arranged at the bottom of the seat 1, which can drive the seat 1 to move on the vehicle body floor. Exemplarily, the moving device 4 can be set as a combination of a driving motor and a slide rail assembly, wherein the slide rail assembly includes a first slide rail extending along the length direction of the vehicle body and a second slide rail extending along the width direction of the vehicle body, so that the front and rear position and the left and right position of the seat 1 can be adjusted under the drive of the driving motor.

[0044] The lateral adjustment of seat 1 is designed to meet the different usage needs of users during riding. For example, when seat 1 is adjusted to the outermost side of the cabin, that is, close to the door, it can facilitate passengers to get on and off the vehicle; when seat 1 is adjusted to the middle of the cabin, that is, away from the door, it can facilitate passengers to watch the on-board screen in front, thereby enhancing the viewing experience.

[0045] The chair 1 of the present invention is preferably provided with armrests 2 on both the inner and outer sides, wherein 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the outer armrest 2 is pivotally connected to the backrest of the seat 1, and a driving device 3 is also arranged inside it, preferably set as a driving motor, under the action of the driving motor, the armrest 2 is rotated to adjust the armrest 2 to different angles and positions. The two most commonly used positions are the unfolded position and the stowed position, wherein, when the armrest 2 is in the unfolded position, the armrest 2 is nearly parallel to the seat cushion, or maintains a horizontal state to support the passenger's arm; when the armrest 2 is in the stowed position, the armrest 2 is nearly parallel to the backrest, or maintains a vertical state to completely hide the armrest 2 to the side of the backrest, so as not to affect the lateral entry and exit of the passenger. It should be noted that when the armrest 2 rotates from the unfolded position to the stowed position, the armrest 2 can be controlled to rotate downward, or it can be controlled to rotate upward.

[0046] The drive motor of seat 1 and the drive motor of armrest 2 are both communicatively connected to the controller to transmit their respective position information to the controller. The controller can perform unified control based on the position information of the two, so that the position adjustment of seat 1 is linked with the angle adjustment of armrest 2. By optimizing the control logic, the deployment and retraction timing of armrest 2 is made more accurate and reasonable, while meeting the passengers' needs for the comfort and convenience of seat 1 in different usage scenarios, thereby improving the vehicle's intelligence level and the user's experience.

[0047] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes:

[0048] S1000: Obtain the position of seat 1;

[0049] S2000: According to the position of the seat 1, the armrest 2 is selectively controlled to rotate to the extended position or the retracted position.

[0050] Regarding the position of the seat 1 in the width direction of the vehicle body, the most commonly used ones are the getting-off position closest to the door and the viewing position close to the middle of the cabin. In actual applications, the getting-off position and the viewing position of the seat 1 can be respectively corresponded to the stowed position and the deployed position of the armrest 2, that is, when the seat 1 is adjusted to the getting-off position, the armrest 2 is controlled to be turned to the stowed position; when the seat 1 is adjusted to the viewing position, the armrest 2 is controlled to be turned to the deployed position.

[0051] However, in actual application, the seat 1 can be adjusted to any position between the getting-off position and the viewing position. Therefore, the adjustment range of the seat 1 can also be divided into multiple intervals so that the position of the armrest 2 can be switched according to different adjustment intervals of the seat 1.

[0052] Preferably, if Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the step of “obtaining the position of the seat 1 and selectively controlling the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position according to the position of the seat 1” specifically includes:

[0053] S1100: Obtaining the distance between seat 1 and the door;

[0054] S2100: Selectively control the armrest 2 to rotate to the extended position or the retracted position according to the distance.

[0055] This distance is the distance between the side of the seat cushion of the seat 1 and the inner side of the door. This arrangement allows the seat 1 to have a corresponding angle of the armrest 2 at any position within the adjustable range, so as to more accurately control the retraction and extension of the armrest 2 and make the timing of deploying and retracting the armrest 2 more accurate and timely.

[0056] Preferably, if Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position according to the distance" specifically includes:

[0057] S2110: Compare the distance with a preset distance;

[0058] S2120: According to the comparison result, the armrest 2 is selectively controlled to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position.

[0059] Taking the door as a reference, the distance between the seat 1 and the door is divided into two intervals by a preset distance. The preset distance is set based on whether the passenger can reach the plane structure on the door panel. That is, when the distance between the seat 1 and the door is not greater than the preset distance, the passenger can use the plane structure on the door interior panel as the armrest 2 to support the arm. When the distance exceeds the preset distance, the passenger's arm cannot reach the plane structure on the door panel and can only support the arm by unfolding the armrest 2. Therefore, such a setting can ensure that the armrest 2 is in a retracted state at the lower position of the seat 1, which is convenient for getting on and off the vehicle, and ensure that the passenger's arm can be supported at all adjustable positions of the seat 1.

[0060] The length of the preset distance can be flexibly set according to the internal dimensions of the vehicle body and the structure of the seat 1 and the door. In the present application, the preset distance is preferably set to between 5 cm and 15 cm.

[0061] Regarding the control logic of folding armrest 2, Figure 5As shown, in the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position according to the comparison result" specifically includes:

[0062] S2121: If the distance is greater than the preset distance, control the armrest 2 to rotate to the unfolded position;

[0063] S2122: If the distance is not greater than the preset distance, control the armrest 2 to rotate to the retracted position.

[0064] Through such an arrangement, when the distance between the seat 1 and the door does not exceed the preset distance, the passenger can use the planar structure on the door interior panel to support his arms, which not only facilitates the passengers to get on and off the vehicle, but also ensures the riding comfort; and when the distance between the seat 1 and the door exceeds the preset distance, the armrest 2 is controlled to unfold to prevent the passenger's arms from not being supported and affecting the comfort.

[0065] In the actual use of the car, there may be some special circumstances that cause the system to misjudge the passengers' boarding and alighting behaviors. Figure 6 As shown, in the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position according to the comparison result" specifically includes:

[0066] S2121: If the distance is greater than the preset distance, control the armrest 2 to rotate to the unfolded position;

[0067] S2122: If the distance is not greater than the preset distance, further obtaining the locking and unlocking status of the seat belt;

[0068] S2130: According to the locking and unlocking state of the seat belt, the armrest 2 is selectively controlled to rotate to the deployed position or the stowed position.

[0069] Preferably, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position or the stowed position according to the locking and unlocking state of the seat belt" specifically includes:

[0070] S2131: If the seat belt is in a locked state, control the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position;

[0071] S2132: If the seat belt is in the unlocked state, control the armrest 2 to rotate to the stowed position.

[0072] By refining the control logic of the retraction and extension of the armrest 2, a judgment of a specific usage scenario is added, that is, during the normal driving of the vehicle, the passenger only adjusts the seat 1 to a position close to the door without getting off the vehicle. In this case, there is no need to fold the armrest 2, and the armrest 2 is kept in the unfolded state to ensure normal use by the passenger. Since the armrest 2 provides stronger support and comfort for the arms than the planar structure on the door interior panel, such a setting helps to improve the riding comfort of the seat 1 in the exit position.

[0073] In order to further reduce the probability of misjudgment of passengers getting on and off the bus and improve the accuracy of the control of the handrail 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, in the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of "selectively controlling the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position or the stowed position according to the locking and unlocking state of the seat belt" specifically includes:

[0074] S2131: If the seat belt is in a locked state, control the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position;

[0075] S2132: If the seat belt is in the unlocked state, further obtaining the switch state of the vehicle door;

[0076] S2140: According to the opening and closing state of the vehicle door, the armrest 2 is selectively controlled to rotate to the extended position or the retracted position.

[0077] Preferably, the step of “selectively controlling the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position or the retracted position according to the open / closed state of the vehicle door” specifically includes:

[0078] S2141: If the door is in the closed state, control the armrest 2 to rotate to the deployed position;

[0079] S2142: If the vehicle door is in the open state, the armrest 2 is controlled to rotate to the stowed position.

[0080] By further refining the control logic of the armrest 2, a specific use situation is added on the basis of the original armrest 2 folding condition, that is, when the vehicle stops midway, the passenger only adjusts the seat 1 to a position close to the door and unfastens the seat belt to rest, and does not actually get on or off the vehicle, and there is no need to fold the armrest 2 at this time. Therefore, the system will continue to keep the armrest 2 in the unfolded state to ensure normal use by the passenger, which helps to improve the riding comfort of the seat 1 at the door position, further reduces the system's probability of misjudgment of passengers getting on and off the vehicle, and improves the accuracy of the control of the armrest 2.

[0081] In addition to being able to be adjusted according to the position of the seat 1, the armrest 2 of the present invention can also be adjusted according to the angle of the seat back 1, so that the armrest 2 can be adjusted to the most comfortable support angle at different backrest inclination angles to meet the arm support needs.

[0082] Therefore, preferably, when the armrest 2 is in the deployed position, the control method of the present invention further includes:

[0083] Get the backrest angle of seat 1;

[0084] According to the angle of the backrest, the armrest 2 is controlled to rotate to a corresponding position.

[0085] Specifically, a functional relationship curve or comparison table between the backrest angle and the armrest 2 angle is preset in the system, so that the backrest has a suitable armrest 2 angle corresponding to it at any inclination angle, further improving the riding comfort of the seat 1.

[0086] In addition, the vehicle further provided by the present invention on the basis of the above-mentioned control method has the technical effects of the above-mentioned control method due to the adoption of the above-mentioned control method. Compared with the vehicle before the improvement, the vehicle of the present invention can take into account both comfort and convenience in different usage scenarios, thereby improving the intelligence level of the vehicle and the user's experience.

However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
