[0002] With the advancement of technology, automobile strategies are becoming more and more intelligent, and more and more users are paying more attention to the driving experience. In order to meet the needs of users, most merchants use return-type electronic shifters with a fashionable and technological look. In order to meet the needs of users to switch forward gears, neutral gears, and reverse gears in return-type electronic shifters, merchants often need to use five-point return-type electronic shifters. The five-point return-type electronic shifter includes a parking gear button, that is, the P gear button. The five-point return-type electronic shifter requires more than four position signals and parking gear signals to achieve the shifting needs. Therefore, the use of a five-point return-type electronic shifter has high cost for merchants, resulting in high purchase costs for users. Summary of the invention

[0042] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0043] Figure 1 A flow chart of a gear control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0044] Step 101 : The vehicle controller determines whether a status signal sent by an electronic shifter is received. If so, step 102 is executed; if not, step 101 is continued.

[0045] After the vehicle is powered on, the electronic shifter sends a status signal to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller receives the status signal sent by the electronic shifter, determines that the electronic shifter is in the awake state, and then continues to execute step 102.

[0046] After the vehicle is powered on, the vehicle controller does not receive the status signal sent by the electronic shifter, and determines that the electronic shifter is not in the awake state, then the vehicle controller continues to determine whether it has received the status signal sent by the electronic shifter, waiting for the electronic shifter to send a status signal.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle may include a new energy vehicle.

[0048] Step 102: The vehicle controller sends an unlocking signal to the electronic shifter.

[0049] If the vehicle controller determines that the electronic shifter has been awakened, it can control the electronic shifter to unlock.

[0050] Step 103: The electronic shifter is unlocked according to the unlocking signal.

[0051] After receiving the unlocking signal, the electronic shifter unlocks its own state from the locked state to the normal working state according to the unlocking signal, so that the electronic shifter can work normally.

[0052] Step 104 , the electronic shifter determines whether a driver operation input by the driver is received, and if so, executes step 105 ; if not, executes step 104 .

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic shifter may include a three-point return type electronic shifter, and the driver operation may include the driver's operation on the electronic shifter, and the driver operation may include pushing up, pushing down, or pressing the P gear button. In actual applications, the electronic shifter may also use other types of electronic shifters, and the driver operation may also include other operations, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0054] When the electronic shifter is unlocked, the driver can use the electronic shifter to perform a driver operation to input the driver operation to the electronic shifter. The electronic shifter will receive the driver operation input by the user and continue to execute step 105 .

[0055] When the electronic shifter is unlocked, the driver does not use the electronic shifter to perform driver operation, and the electronic shifter does not receive the driver operation instruction input by the user, then the electronic shifter continues to determine whether the driver operation input by the driver is received to wait for the driver to input the driver operation.

[0056] Step 105: The electronic shifter generates a target gear position based on the actual gear position of the vehicle and the driver's operation.

[0057] The electronic shifter searches for a target gear position corresponding to the actual gear position of the vehicle and the driver's operation according to the gear position identification control state table, wherein the gear position identification control state table may include the correspondence between the actual gear position of the vehicle, the driver's operation and the target gear position.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, the actual gear position of the vehicle includes parking gear, neutral gear, forward gear or reverse gear. Table 1 shows a gear position identification control state table.

[0059] Table 1

[0060]

[0061] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes the parking gear and the driver's operation includes pushing up, the target gear position queried by the electronic shifter includes the neutral gear. The electronic shifter uses the neutral gear as the target gear position. After the driver completes the pushing up operation, the electronic shifter resets to the balance position and continues to use the neutral gear as the target gear position.

[0062] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes the parking gear and the driver's operation includes pushing down, the target gear position queried by the electronic shifter includes the forward gear. The electronic shifter uses the forward gear as the target gear position. After the driver completes the push-down operation, the electronic shifter resets to the equilibrium position and continues to use the forward gear as the target gear position.

[0063] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes neutral and the driver's operation includes pushing up, the target gear position queried by the electronic shifter includes reverse gear. The electronic shifter uses reverse gear as the target gear position. After the driver finishes the pushing up operation, the electronic shifter resets to the balance position and continues to use reverse gear as the target gear position.

[0064] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes neutral and the driver's operation includes push-down, the target gear position queried by the electronic shifter includes the forward gear. The electronic shifter uses the forward gear as the target gear position. After the driver finishes the push-down operation, the electronic shifter resets to the balance position and continues to use the forward gear as the target gear position.

[0065] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes neutral and the driver's operation includes pressing the P gear button, the target gear position queried by the electronic gear shifter includes the parking gear. When the electronic gear shifter is reset to the balance position, the electronic gear shifter uses the parking gear as the target gear position.

[0066] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes a forward gear and the driver's operation includes a push-up and the push-up time is less than or equal to the set threshold, the target gear position queried by the electronic shifter includes a neutral gear. When the electronic shifter is reset to the balance position, the electronic shifter uses the neutral gear as the target gear position.

[0067] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear of the vehicle includes the forward gear and the driver's operation includes pushing up and the pushing up time is greater than the set threshold, the target gear queried by the electronic shifter includes the reverse gear. The electronic shifter takes the reverse gear as the target gear. After the driver finishes the pushing up operation, the electronic shifter resets to the balance position and continues to take the reverse gear as the target gear.

[0068] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear of the vehicle includes the forward gear and the driver's operation includes pushing down, the target gear queried by the electronic shifter includes the forward gear. The electronic shifter uses the forward gear as the target gear. After the driver finishes the pushing down operation, the electronic shifter resets to the balance position and continues to use the forward gear as the target gear.

[0069] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes the forward gear and the driver's operation includes pressing the P gear button, the target gear position queried by the electronic gear shifter includes the parking gear. When the electronic gear shifter is reset to the balance position, the electronic gear shifter uses the parking gear as the output target gear position.

[0070] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear of the vehicle includes reverse gear and the driver's operation includes pushing up, the target gear queried by the electronic shifter includes reverse gear. The electronic shifter takes reverse gear as the target gear, and after the driver finishes the pushing up operation, the electronic shifter resets to the balance position, and the electronic shifter continues to take reverse gear as the target gear.

[0071] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes reverse gear and the driver's operation includes push-down and the push-down time is less than or equal to the set threshold, the target gear position queried by the electronic shifter includes neutral gear. When the electronic shifter is reset to the balance position, the electronic shifter uses neutral gear as the target gear position.

[0072] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear of the vehicle includes reverse gear and the driver's operation includes push-down and the push-down time is greater than the set threshold, the target gear queried by the electronic shifter includes forward gear. The electronic shifter uses the forward gear as the target gear. After the driver finishes the push-down operation, the electronic shifter resets to the balance position and continues to use the forward gear as the target gear.

[0073] As shown in Table 1, if the actual gear position of the vehicle includes reverse gear and the driver's operation includes pressing the P gear button, the target gear position queried by the electronic gear shifter includes the parking gear. When the electronic gear shifter is reset to the balance position, the electronic gear shifter uses the parking gear as the target gear position.

[0074] As shown in Table 1, when the current vehicle gear includes any gear and the driver's operation includes keeping pushing up or keeping pushing down and pressing the P gear button at the same time, the target gear queried by the electronic shifter is the previous target gear, and the electronic shifter uses the previous target gear as the current target gear.

[0075] Step 106: The vehicle controller generates an actual gear position of the vehicle according to the target gear position and the current vehicle state, and outputs the actual gear position of the vehicle to the electronic gear shifter.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present invention, the current vehicle status includes whether there is a fault, the vehicle speed, whether it is in a high pressure state, the brake pedal state or the driving direction.

[0077] In a possible implementation, if the vehicle controller determines that the target gear meets the target gear switching condition based on the current vehicle state, the actual gear of the vehicle is determined as the target gear.

[0078] For example, if the current vehicle state includes no faults and the target gear is the forward gear, the vehicle controller determines that the forward gear meets the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state without faults, and determines the actual gear of the vehicle as the forward gear.

[0079] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes a low speed and a target gear of neutral, the vehicle controller determines that neutral meets the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state of low speed, and determines the actual gear of the vehicle to be neutral.

[0080] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle being in a high-pressure state and the target gear being a forward gear, the vehicle controller determines that the forward gear meets the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state of the vehicle being in a high-pressure state, and determines the actual gear of the vehicle as the forward gear.

[0081] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle brake pedal being in a pressed state and the target gear being a forward gear, the vehicle controller determines that the forward gear meets the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state of the vehicle brake pedal being in a pressed state, and determines the actual gear of the vehicle as the forward gear.

[0082] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle traveling in the forward direction and the target gear being neutral, the vehicle controller determines that neutral satisfies the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state of the vehicle traveling in the forward direction, and determines the actual gear of the vehicle to be neutral.

[0083] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle traveling in the backward direction and the target gear being the parking gear, the vehicle controller determines that the parking gear meets the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state of the vehicle traveling in the backward direction, and determines the actual gear position of the vehicle as the parking gear.

[0084] In another possible implementation, if the vehicle controller determines that the target gear does not meet the target gear switching condition based on the current vehicle state, the actual gear of the vehicle is determined as the current gear corresponding to the current vehicle state.

[0085] For example, if the current vehicle state includes a fault and the target gear is the forward gear, the vehicle controller determines that the forward gear does not meet the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state with the fault, and keeps the actual gear of the vehicle unchanged.

[0086] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle speed being at high speed and the target gear being the parking gear, the vehicle controller determines that the parking gear does not meet the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state of the vehicle speed being at high speed, and keeps the actual gear of the vehicle unchanged.

[0087] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes that the vehicle is not in a high-pressure state and the target gear is a forward gear, the vehicle controller determines that the forward gear does not meet the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state that the vehicle is not in a high-pressure state, and determines the actual gear of the vehicle as neutral.

[0088] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle brake pedal not being pressed and the target gear is the forward gear, the vehicle controller determines that the forward gear does not meet the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state that the vehicle brake pedal is not pressed, and determines the actual gear of the vehicle as neutral.

[0089] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle traveling direction being forward and the target gear being reverse gear, the vehicle controller determines that the reverse gear does not meet the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state if the vehicle traveling direction is forward, and keeps the actual gear of the vehicle unchanged.

[0090] For another example, if the current vehicle state includes the vehicle traveling in the backward direction and the target gear being the forward gear, the vehicle controller determines that the forward gear does not meet the target gear switching conditions based on the current vehicle state if the vehicle traveling in the backward direction, and keeps the actual gear of the vehicle unchanged.

[0091] Step 107: The electronic shifter receives the actual gear position of the vehicle output by the vehicle controller.

[0092] Step 108: The electronic shifter switches the current gear position to the actual gear position of the vehicle.

[0093] The electronic shifter shifts gears according to the actual gear position of the vehicle received.

[0094] In an example of the present invention, the electronic shifter generates a target gear based on the actual gear of the vehicle and the driver's operation, the vehicle controller generates the actual gear of the vehicle based on the target gear sent by the electronic shifter and the current vehicle status, the electronic shifter receives the actual gear of the vehicle output by the vehicle controller and switches the current gear to the actual gear of the vehicle. The electronic shifter using the above-mentioned gear control method in an embodiment of the present invention can effectively reduce the merchant's manufacturing cost, thereby reducing the user's purchase cost.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic shifter generates a target gear based on the actual gear of the vehicle and the driver's operation, and the vehicle controller generates the actual gear of the vehicle based on the target gear and the current vehicle status. The electronic shifter receives the actual gear of the vehicle and switches the current gear to the actual gear of the vehicle to complete the gear shift. In an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic shifter is able to switch between forward gear, neutral gear, reverse gear and parking gear.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a threshold value for the push-up time of the push-up electronic shifter or the push-down time of the push-down electronic shifter, the driver can complete the direct switch between the forward gear and the reverse gear with only one driver operation, avoiding the need for the driver to operate the shifter twice to switch between the forward gear and the reverse gear when the gear shifting conditions are met, thereby simplifying the driver's gear shifting operation.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, the driver's operation includes keeping the electronic shifter pushed up or keeping the electronic shifter pushed down and pressing the P gear button at the same time, so that the target gear position is the same as the previous target gear position. This ensures that the target gear position can be the same as the previous target gear position when the driver makes an erroneous operation, thereby avoiding problems during vehicle driving due to driver's erroneous operation, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle during driving.

[0102] Furthermore, the vehicle controller 10 is also used to determine whether the electronic shifter 20 is awakened; if it is determined that the electronic shifter 20 is awakened, an unlocking signal is sent to the electronic shifter 20 so that the electronic shifter 20 is unlocked according to the unlocking signal, and the electronic shifter 20 continues to execute the step of determining whether the driver's operation input by the driver is received by the electronic shifter 20; if it is determined that the electronic shifter 20 is not awakened, the step of determining whether the electronic shifter 20 is awakened is continued.

[0107] Furthermore, the device further includes: a judgment module 15. The judgment module 15 is used to judge whether a driver operation input by a driver is received; if the judgment module 15 judges that the driver operation input by the driver is received, the generation module 11 is triggered to continue to execute the step of generating the target gear position based on the actual gear position of the whole vehicle and the driver operation; if the judgment module 15 judges that the driver operation input by the driver is not received, the step of judging whether the driver operation input by the driver is received is continued.

[0108] Furthermore, the device further comprises: an unlocking module 16. The receiving module 13 is further used to receive an unlocking signal sent by the vehicle controller.
