[0055] Ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” cited in the present application are merely identifications and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term “first component” itself does not imply the existence of the “second component”, and the term “second component” itself does not imply the existence of the “first component”.

[0056] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0057] The present application provides a door control method for a vehicle. The vehicle has a door, a hinge device, a clutch device and a vehicle body. The door is pivotally mounted to the vehicle body via the hinge device. The hinge device has a side-opening working mode and a special-shaped working mode. The clutch device is mounted to the hinge device. The clutch device is configured to switch to an engaged state or a disengaged state when controlled, thereby adjusting the working mode of the hinge device. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the door control method according to the present application may include the following steps:

[0058] Obtain door opening mode information, determine the door opening mode according to the door opening mode information, and control the door opening according to the door opening mode.

[0059] The door opening mode is one of a side opening mode, a special opening mode and an automatic selection opening mode. The special opening mode here can be a door opening mode for doors such as scissor doors, gull-wing doors, and swing-wing doors that move in the height direction of the vehicle.

[0060] According to the vehicle door control method of the present application, it is possible to selectively determine the door opening mode among the side opening mode, the special opening mode and the automatic selection opening mode, and control the vehicle door to open in the selected door opening mode according to the determined door opening mode. In this way, the user can select the corresponding door opening mode according to the needs, thereby meeting the needs of the user in different scenarios, and thus improving the user's car experience.

[0061] For example, the door opening mode information includes three door opening modes: a side opening mode, a special opening mode, and an automatic selection mode. According to the door opening mode information, a door opening mode can be determined, so that the vehicle door is controlled to open in the determined door opening mode.

[0062] In addition, the door control method may further include:

[0063] Obtain a door opening request signal, and control the door unlocking according to the door opening request signal.

[0064] For example, obtaining a door opening request signal and controlling the door unlocking according to the door opening request signal may include:

[0065] Determine whether a door opening request signal is received. If so, send an unlock signal to control the door lock motor to perform an unlocking action. If not, continue to determine whether a door opening request signal is received.

[0066] In the process of controlling the door lock motor to perform the unlocking action, it is determined whether the door lock fully open signal is received. If so, the vehicle door is controlled to be opened in the determined door opening mode. If not, it is further determined whether the door lock fully open signal is received or the door lock fully open signal is waited for. That is, when it is determined that the door lock is opened, the actual door opening action is performed.

[0067] In addition, controlling the door opening according to the door opening mode includes:

[0068] Obtain obstacle information, and determine the target distance between the vehicle door and the obstacle based on the obstacle information;

[0069] Control the door opening according to the target distance and door opening mode.

[0070] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In an application scenario of the present application, controlling the door opening according to the target distance and the door opening mode includes:

[0071] The door opening mode is side-opening mode;

[0072] The target distance is the first distance between the door and the obstacle along the first direction. The first direction here is the width direction of the vehicle, that is, Figure 2 In the Y direction.

[0073] For example, controlling the door opening according to the target distance and the door opening mode further includes:

[0074] If the first distance is determined to be greater than the first target distance, the door is controlled to be opened in a side-opening mode. On the contrary, if the first distance is determined to be not greater than or less than the first target distance, an early warning or warning message is output to indicate that the door is too close to the obstacle and the door cannot be opened.

[0075] Furthermore, the first target distance here can be selected between 150 mm and 300 mm. For example, the first target distance is 200 mm.

[0076] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 In another application scenario of the present application, controlling the door opening according to the target distance and the door opening mode also includes:

[0077] The door opening mode is a special opening mode;

[0078] The target distance is the second distance between the door and the obstacle along the first direction and the third distance between the door and the obstacle along the second direction. The first direction here is the width direction of the vehicle, that is, the Y direction. The second direction is the height direction of the vehicle, that is, the Z direction.

[0079] For example, controlling the door opening according to the target distance and the door opening mode also includes:

[0080] If it is determined that the second distance is greater than the second target distance and the third distance is greater than the third target distance, the door is controlled to be opened in a different opening mode. If it is determined that the second distance between the door and the obstacle is not greater than the second target distance, or if it is determined that the third distance is not greater than the third target distance, an early warning or warning message is output to indicate that the door is too close to the obstacle and cannot be opened.

[0081] Further, the second target distance can be selected between 150 mm and 300 mm, for example, the second target distance is 200 mm. The third target distance can also be selected between 150 mm and 300 mm, for example, the third target distance is 200 mm.

[0082] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In another application scenario of the present application, controlling the door opening according to the target distance and the door opening mode also includes:

[0083] The door opening mode is an automatic selection opening mode;

[0084] The target distance is the fourth distance between the vehicle door and the obstacle along the second direction, or the target distance is the fourth distance between the vehicle door and the obstacle along the second direction and the fifth distance between the vehicle door and the obstacle along the first direction.

[0085] For example, controlling the door opening according to the target distance and the door opening mode also includes:

[0086] It is determined that the fourth distance is greater than the fourth target distance, and the vehicle door is controlled to open in an abnormal opening mode.

[0087] For another example, controlling the door opening according to the target distance and the door opening mode also includes:

[0088] Determine that the fourth distance is not greater than the fourth target distance and the fifth distance is greater than the fifth target distance, and control the vehicle door to open in the side-opening opening mode.

[0089] That is, if it is determined that the fourth distance is not greater than the fourth target distance, it is then determined whether the fifth distance is greater than the fifth target distance. If it is determined that the fifth distance is greater than the fifth target distance, the door is controlled to open in the side-opening mode. If it is determined that the fifth distance is not greater than the fifth target distance, an early warning or warning message is output to indicate that the door is too close to the obstacle and the door cannot be opened.

[0090] In other words, if the determined door opening mode is the automatic selection opening mode, the following steps are performed:

[0091] Sending a distance detection request signal to control the second direction distance detection device to detect a fourth distance between the vehicle door and the obstacle along the second direction;

[0092] Determine whether the fourth distance is greater than the fourth target distance. If so, control the door to open in a special opening mode; if not, continue to execute the subsequent steps. Here, it is prioritized to determine whether the space in the second direction meets the requirements, so that the special opening mode can be selected when the space in the second direction meets the requirements. In the process of the door being controlled to open in a special opening mode, the distance between the door and the obstacle along the first direction and the second direction can be detected again to determine whether the door opening process is safe. For example, determine whether the distance between the door and the obstacle along the first direction is greater than any value in the range of 150 to 300 mm and whether the distance along the second direction is greater than any value in the range of 150 to 300 mm. If so, determine that the door opening process is safe and continue to execute the door opening action. If not, output an early warning or warning message to prompt that the distance between the door and the obstacle is too close and the door cannot be opened.

[0093] Furthermore, the fourth target distance may be selected between 910 mm and 1100 mm, for example, the fourth target distance is 1000 mm.

[0094] When it is determined that the fourth distance is not greater than the fourth target distance, a fifth distance detection request signal is sent to control the first direction distance detection device to detect the fifth distance between the door and the obstacle along the first direction, and determine whether the fifth distance is greater than the fifth target distance. If the fifth distance is greater than the fifth target distance, the door is controlled to open in the side-opening mode. In the process of the door being controlled to open in the side-opening mode, the distance between the door and the obstacle along the first direction can be detected again to determine whether the door opening process is safe. For example, it is determined whether the distance between the door and the obstacle along the first direction is greater than any value between 150 and 300 mm. If so, it is determined that the door opening process is safe and the door opening action continues. If not, an early warning or warning message is output to prompt that the distance between the door and the obstacle is too close and the door cannot be opened.

[0095] Further, the fifth target distance may be selected between 700 mm and 900 mm, for example, the seventh target distance may be 800 mm.

[0096] Furthermore, if the fourth distance is greater than the fourth target distance, the following steps may also be performed:

[0097] A first state control signal is sent to the hinge clutch device according to the special opening mode to control the hinge clutch device to switch to one of the engaged state and the disengaged state. For example, if the door opening mode is determined to be the special opening mode, the hinge clutch device is controlled to be powered off so that the clutch device switches to the disengaged state.

[0098] If the fourth distance is not greater than the fourth target distance but greater than the fifth target distance, the following steps may also be performed:

[0099] The door opening mode is determined to be the side opening mode, and a second state control signal is sent to the hinge clutch device according to the side opening mode to control the hinge clutch device to switch to the other of the engaged state and the disengaged state. For example, if the door opening mode is determined to be the side opening mode, the hinge clutch device is energized to switch the clutch device to the engaged state.

[0100] For example, the above-mentioned controlling the door opening according to the determined door opening mode may include:

[0101] Obtain a door opening request signal, and send a door opening start signal to the drive motor according to the door opening request signal to control the start of the drive motor. The drive motor here is a power source for driving the hinge to perform the door opening action;

[0102] The door opening angle information detected by the angle detection device is obtained. When the door opening angle reaches the preset door opening angle, a door opening stop signal is sent to the drive motor to control the drive motor to stop, thereby controlling the vehicle door to stop moving.

[0103] For example, before controlling the door to open, you can first perform the following steps:

[0104] If it is determined that the door opening mode is one of the side opening mode and the special opening mode, a first state control signal is sent to the hinge clutch device to control the hinge clutch device to switch to the engagement state;

[0105] If it is determined that the door opening mode is another one of the side-opening mode and the special-shaped opening mode, a second state control signal is sent to the hinge clutch device to control the hinge clutch device to switch to a separated state.

[0106] In addition, the door control method may further include:

[0107] Get the door closing request signal;

[0108] The corresponding door closing mode is determined according to the door opening mode, and the vehicle door is controlled to close according to the door closing request signal and the door closing mode.

[0109] Among them, the side-open closing mode is a door closing mode corresponding to the side-open opening mode, the special-form closing mode is a door closing mode corresponding to the special-form opening mode, and the automatic selection closing mode is a door closing mode corresponding to the automatic selection opening mode. That is, if the side-open opening mode is used to perform the door opening action during the door opening process, the side-open closing mode is automatically selected to perform the door closing action during the door closing process.

[0110] Optionally, the door closing is controlled according to the door closing request signal and the door closing mode:

[0111] The door locking is controlled according to the door closing request signal. Specifically, a door closing start signal is sent to the drive motor to control the drive motor to start, and here, for example, the rotation direction of the drive motor can be controlled to be opposite to the rotation direction of the door opening process so that the door moves in the closing direction.

[0112] Optionally, controlling the vehicle door to close according to the door closing request signal and the door closing mode may include:

[0113] The door closing angle information is obtained, and the door is controlled to stop moving according to the door closing angle information. Specifically, the door closing angle information detected by the angle detection device is obtained, and when the door closing angle information reaches a preset door closing angle, a door closing stop signal is sent to the drive motor to control the drive motor to stop, thereby controlling the door to stop moving.

[0198] According to the computer-readable storage medium of the present application, when the computer program stored in the computer-readable storage medium is executed by the processor, it is possible to control the vehicle door to open according to the selected door opening mode, thereby meeting the needs of users in different scenarios and helping to improve the user's car experience.

[0199] The present application also provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program. When the computer program is executed by the processor, the above-mentioned vehicle door control method is implemented.

[0200] According to the electronic device of the present application, by executing a computer program stored in a memory through a processor, it is possible to control the vehicle door to open according to a selected door opening mode, thereby meeting the needs of users in different scenarios and helping to improve the user's vehicle experience.

[0201] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle door and the above-mentioned electronic device.

[0202] According to the vehicle of the present application, by applying the above-mentioned electronic device, the user can set the door opening mode according to the needs to control the door to open according to the selected door opening mode, thereby meeting the needs of the user in different scenarios and helping to improve the user's car experience.

[0203] This application has the following beneficial effects:

[0204] (1) The present application provides a control logic that allows users to select the door opening mode, so that users have more usage permissions to meet the needs of users in different scenarios. Users can make preferences based on their own preferences through the central control screen, that is, choose one of the three modes: side opening mode, automatic selection opening mode, and special opening mode. Among them, the automatic selection opening mode is a functional mode that can intelligently select the door opening method according to the parking space of the driving vehicle. The door is equipped with two sets of detection radar sensors, which are used to detect the distance information of obstacles on the door opening direction or path during the process of opening the door in the side opening mode and the process of opening the door in the special opening mode.

[0205] (2) The present application provides a functional mode for automatically selecting door opening. According to the parking space of the driving vehicle, the domain control as a control unit detects the obstacle distance through the radar sensor to select the most convenient way to open the door, so as to achieve the convenience of passengers getting on and off the vehicle. For example, after the vehicle is parked in a narrow space, the user can set the door opening mode to automatic electric opening on the central control screen. At this time, the car determines which door opening mode to use by detecting the spatial distance with the surrounding environment. If the lateral space is large enough, the side opening mode is used to open the door; if the space above the vehicle is large enough, the special opening mode can be used to open the door. And during the door opening process, the domain control ensures the safety of the opening process based on the obstacle distance information detected by the radar sensor, and finally achieves the convenience of passengers getting on and off the vehicle.

[0206] (3) The present application also provides a control logic for changing the door closing mode. The domain control as a control unit can automatically close the door in a corresponding manner according to the different electric door opening modes. During this door closing process, the user does not need to repeatedly select the door closing mode, thereby improving the user's car experience. For example, during the electric door opening process, the domain control as a control unit will continuously record the door opening method and movement trajectory information. After the user operates the door closing switch, the user does not need to select the door closing mode again. The domain control will automatically select the door closing mode corresponding to the door opening mode based on the electric door opening mode selected by the user before, allowing the user to more intuitively feel the intelligence of the changeable door closing mode, thereby bringing more convenience to the user and helping to further improve the user's car experience.
