Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle seat control, and in particular to a seat damping control method, device, equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of automobile intelligence, the comfort of seat riding has become one of the important indicators to measure the performance of a vehicle. However, during the driving of a vehicle, the chassis and wheels of the vehicle are in constant contact with the road surface, and the unevenness of the road surface will continuously excite the chassis and wheels. This excitation will not only cause the vibration of the vehicle itself, but also be transmitted to the seat through the structure of the vehicle, thereby affecting the comfort of the passengers. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the damping of the seat, that is, to adjust the damping coefficient to control the response of the seat to external excitation, so as to convert mechanical energy into thermal energy and elastic potential energy by using a damping element (such as a damper), thereby reducing or eliminating the vibration amplitude of the seat and improving the riding comfort. In the related art, the seat is usually controlled by using a preset fixed damping coefficient. When a user rides the seat, the fixed damping coefficient makes the response of the seat constant, or the damping of the seat is manually adjusted by the user.

[0003] However, by using the fixed damping coefficient or manually adjusting the damping of the seat, the damping of the seat cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the road conditions, the weight of the passengers and other influencing factors, which makes it difficult for the seat to provide the best damping effect under different road conditions and passenger conditions, thereby limiting the improvement of the riding comfort.

[0023] The objectives, technical contents and effects of the present application can be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the preferred embodiments of the present application. The present application can be implemented or applied in other different specific embodiments, and the details in the description can be modified or changed based on different views and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present application, but not for limiting the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments only schematically illustrate the basic concepts of the present application, and only the components related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. The shapes, number and proportions of the components in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components can be more complex.

[0025] In the following description, a large number of details are discussed to provide a more thorough explanation of the embodiments of the present application. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented without these specific details, and in other embodiments, the known structures and devices are shown in the form of block diagrams instead of detailed forms, so as not to make the embodiments of the present application difficult to understand.

[0026] Seat damping control refers to adjusting the damper on the seat to change the damping characteristics of the seat to optimize the comfort of the seat. The damper is the core component of the seat damping control, which can slow down the movement of the seat by consuming energy when the seat is subjected to external force, thereby providing stable support and cushioning effect. The conventional way of seat damping control is mainly to use one or more fixed damping coefficients, wherein when only one fixed damping coefficient is used, the seat damping is constant, and when multiple fixed damping coefficients are used, the user usually manually adjusts the settings of the seat damping.

[0027] However, on the one hand, the difference in passenger weight can significantly affect the response characteristics of the seat to vibration, for example, a lighter passenger may expect a softer damping effect to reduce the sense of jolting, and the damping coefficient should not be too high, while a heavier passenger may need stronger support to maintain stability during driving, and the damping coefficient should not be too low; on the other hand, road vibration is another important factor affecting seat adjustment, from the smooth driving of the highway to the frequent start-stop of the city road, to the bumpy and unevenness of the unpaved road, each road condition has its unique vibration characteristics, and the adjustment requirements of the seat are also different, the seat needs to quickly respond to road vibration and absorb these vibrations to reduce the interference to the passengers, for example, on a smooth road, the seat needs to provide comfortable support; while on the unpaved road, the stability of the seat needs to be enhanced to cope with severe vibration. Therefore, it is obvious that the conventional seat damping control method is difficult to adapt to the diversity of passenger weight and the complexity of driving conditions, and cannot provide personalized comfort requirements for users.

[0028] Based on this, the present application proposes a seat damping control method to improve the adaptability of seat damping adjustment and the comfort of seat riding.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , a schematic diagram of an implementation environment of a seat damping control method is shown for an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the implementation environment includes a vehicle 110 and a controller 120, wherein the controller 120 is embedded in the vehicle 110 for implementing the seat damping control method, and the controller 120 includes but is not limited to a car system, a vehicle computer, etc. The target seat in the vehicle 110 is controlled by the controller 120.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 , a flowchart of a seat damping control method is shown for an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to Figure 1 the implementation environment shown, and can also be applicable to other exemplary implementation environments, it should be understood that the present embodiment does not limit the implementation environment to which the method is applicable. As Figure 2 shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the seat damping control method includes at least steps S210 to S250, which are described in detail as follows:

[0031] Step S210, obtaining the road condition information of the vehicle, and the passenger weight and feedback frequency of the target seat, the road condition information including road vibration conditions and road types.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, since the road conditions of the vehicle and the passenger weight will directly affect the vibration response of the seat, and the vibration feedback of the target seat itself is also a key factor affecting the riding comfort, therefore, the seat damping control needs to consider these three types of information comprehensively.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the road condition information of the vehicle can be current road condition information acquired in real time to ensure the timeliness of subsequent damping adjustment, or road condition information acquired in advance in front of the vehicle to predict the road surface vibration working condition and road type in front of the vehicle, thereby reducing the hysteresis of subsequent damping adjustment.

[0034] Specifically, in order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the passenger weight, the passenger weight borne by the target seat is acquired, including: if the vehicle is in a preset gear, detecting the passenger weight, the preset gear indicating that the vehicle is stationary; if the vehicle is not in the preset gear, detecting the passenger weight when the current vehicle speed is less than a preset speed threshold.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the preset gear is usually set to P gear (i.e., parking gear), when the vehicle is in the preset gear, the vehicle is fixed and prevented from moving, so that the vehicle is in a stationary state, the interaction between the seat and the passenger is more stable, reducing the error caused by the movement of the vehicle, which helps to more accurately measure the passenger weight. When the vehicle is not in the preset gear, for example, D gear (i.e., forward gear), or R gear (i.e., reverse gear), the passenger weight is detected only when the vehicle speed is less than the preset speed threshold, i.e., the vehicle is driving at low speed, so that when the vehicle is driving at low speed, the detection error caused by the movement of the vehicle can be minimized to ensure the accuracy of the passenger weight detection. In addition, the preset speed threshold can be adjusted according to actual needs to determine whether the vehicle is driving at low speed, for example, set to 5 km / h (kilometers per hour).

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the passenger weight is detected every interval of a preset time, and the detected passenger weight is memorized.

[0037] Step S220, matching the preset first mapping relationship in combination with the passenger weight and the road surface vibration working condition to determine the first damping coefficient, the preset first mapping relationship being a mapping relationship between the passenger weight, the road surface vibration working condition and the first damping coefficient.

[0038] Specifically, in order to adapt to the diversity of passenger weight and the difference of road vibration conditions at the same time, improve the individualization and damping effect of seat damping control, the passenger weight and the first sub-mapping relationship are matched to determine the reference damping coefficient and the weight adjustment coefficient, the first mapping relationship includes the first sub-mapping relationship, and the first sub-mapping relationship includes the mapping relationship between the passenger weight and the reference damping coefficient and the weight adjustment coefficient respectively; the road vibration condition and the second sub-mapping relationship are matched to determine the reference acceleration, the first mapping relationship includes the second sub-mapping relationship, and the second sub-mapping relationship includes the mapping relationship between the road vibration condition and the reference acceleration; the target adjustment coefficient is determined by calculation according to the weight adjustment coefficient and the reference acceleration; and the first damping coefficient is determined by calculation of the reference damping coefficient and the target adjustment coefficient.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the first sub-mapping relationship includes different weight levels and reference damping coefficients and weight adjustment coefficients corresponding to the weight levels one by one, and each weight level represents a passenger weight value range. Matching the passenger weight and the first sub-mapping relationship is essentially determining the weight level of the passenger weight value range to which the passenger weight belongs, and matching the reference damping coefficient and the weight adjustment coefficient corresponding to the weight level. The second sub-mapping relationship includes a one-to-one correspondence between the road vibration condition and the reference acceleration. Because the flatness of the road changes when the vehicle is running, and the vibration characteristics of roads with different flatness are different, the road vibration condition is determined based on the severity of the road vibration when the vehicle is running, i.e. the severity of the road vibration is divided into multiple vibration levels, and different vibration levels correspond to road vibration conditions one by one.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, considering that the intensity of various vibrations and impacts from the road during vehicle running can be reflected in real time through the change of acceleration, it is necessary to introduce the acceleration change into the adjustment of the damping coefficient to cope with different road vibration conditions, i.e. the target adjustment coefficient is determined by calculation according to the weight adjustment coefficient and the reference acceleration, which is essentially determining the acceleration change value based on the real-time acceleration of the vehicle and the reference acceleration, and then determining the target adjustment coefficient according to the acceleration change value and the weight adjustment coefficient, and the passenger weight and the weight adjustment coefficient correspond one by one, so that passengers of different weights can have a comfortable riding experience in various road conditions.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, the mapping relationship related to the passenger weight is shown in Table 1:

[0042] Table 1

[0043] Weight class Passenger weight range (kg) Seat height range (mm) Reference damping coefficient Weight adjustment coefficient Lightweight 0~60 60~55 0.9 0.8 Middleweight 60~80 55~45 1 1.0 Heavyweight 80~100 45~35 1.1 1.2 Super heavyweight 100 or more 35 or less 1.2 1.5

[0044] As shown in Table 1, the vehicle weight is divided into four value ranges, i.e., 0-60, 60-80, 80-100 and 100 or more, in units of kg (kilogram), which correspond to light weight, medium weight, heavy weight and super heavy weight, respectively. For example, the passenger weight is light weight, the corresponding reference damping coefficient is calibrated as 0.9, and the weight adjustment coefficient is calibrated as 0.8.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, to further improve the comfort of the user, the height of the target seat can also be adjusted, including: matching the passenger weight and the third sub-mapping relationship to determine the height range of the target seat, the first mapping relationship including the third sub-mapping relationship, and the third sub-mapping relationship including the mapping relationship between the passenger weight and the height range; and controlling the height of the target seat to be adjusted to the height range. As shown in Table 1, the height range of the seat and the weight level to which the passenger weight belongs correspond to each other. For example, the passenger weight is 65 kg, which belongs to the medium weight level, and the corresponding seat height range is set to 55-45 mm (millimeter). In this way, the seat height is adjusted according to the passenger weight, so that the seat height is more suitable for the passenger's weight, and the individual needs of different passengers are met, thereby providing a more comfortable and comfortable riding experience.

[0046] Specifically, to avoid the seat being too sensitive to the acceleration change, leading to excessive adjustment of the seat damping and unnecessary disturbance to the passenger, a target adjustment coefficient related to the target seat acceleration is determined, including: matching the road vibration condition and the second sub-mapping relationship to determine the damping adjustment coefficient, the second sub-mapping relationship including the mapping relationship between the road vibration condition and the damping adjustment coefficient; obtaining the real-time acceleration of the target seat, and calculating according to the reference acceleration and the real-time acceleration to determine the acceleration change value; and multiplying the damping adjustment coefficient, the acceleration change value and the weight adjustment coefficient to determine the target adjustment coefficient.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, since the different vibration conditions of the road have a significant impact on the acceleration change, for example, the acceleration change of the flat road is relatively stable, and the acceleration change of the uneven road is relatively large. Therefore, for different road vibration conditions, a one-to-one corresponding damping adjustment coefficient is set to constrain the acceleration change, so that when responding to different road vibration conditions, the seat response to the acceleration change is both sensitive and appropriate, which improves the comfort and adaptability of the seat while avoiding excessive disturbance to the passenger.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the second sub-mapping relationship is shown in Table 2:

[0049] Table 2

[0050] Working condition Reference acceleration Damping adjustment coefficient Smooth road surface 0.5 1 Slightly vibrating road surface 1.5 1.2 Moderately vibrating road surface 2.5 1.4 Violently vibrating road surface 3.5 1.6

[0051] As shown in Table 2, the road vibration conditions include four levels: smooth road surface, slight vibration road surface, moderate vibration road surface, and severe vibration road surface. The base acceleration calibration for smooth road surface is 0.5, and the damping adjustment coefficient is 1; the base acceleration calibration for slight vibration road surface is 1.5, and the damping adjustment coefficient is 1.2; the base acceleration calibration for moderate vibration road surface is 2.5, and the damping adjustment coefficient is 1.4; and the base acceleration calibration for severe vibration road surface is 3.5, and the damping adjustment coefficient is 1.6.

[0052] Table 1 and Table 2 above are only examples and can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, the expression for determining the first damping coefficient is as follows:

[0054] C1=C d +K×(|a 实时 |-|a 基准 |)×W Formula (1)

[0055] Wherein, C1 in formula (1) represents the first damping coefficient, C d represents the base damping coefficient, K represents the damping adjustment coefficient, W represents the weight adjustment coefficient, a 实时 Indicates real-time acceleration, a 基准 represents the baseline acceleration. Furthermore, as can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, the baseline damping coefficient and the weight adjustment coefficient are linearly positively correlated with the passenger weight, and the damping adjustment coefficient and the baseline acceleration are linearly positively correlated with the level of the road vibration condition. The more intense the road vibration represented by the road vibration condition, the higher its level. Therefore, Equation (1) is a linear formula. Thus, a linear variable of the first damping coefficient can smoothly control the seat damping based on the first damping coefficient, thus avoiding sudden changes in the seat damping adjustment.

[0056] For example, the passenger weight is 70 kg, the filtering threshold range of the road acceleration is in the range of 1.5 to 2.5, it is calibrated as a medium vibration road surface, and the real-time acceleration is 2.8 m / s^2 (meters per second squared). As shown in Table 1 and Table 2, the first mapping relationship is that the passenger weight belongs to the middle weight, the corresponding reference damping coefficient is 1, the weight adjustment coefficient is 1, the reference acceleration corresponding to the medium vibration road surface is 2.5, and the damping adjustment coefficient is 1.4. The first damping coefficient calculated according to formula (1) is: 1+1.4x(2.8-2.5)x1=1.42.

[0057] By the above manner, the real-time changes of the passenger weight and the road vibration working condition are introduced, and the first damping coefficient is dynamically adjusted, so that the abrupt feeling in the adjustment process is avoided, the conditions of the seat damping are more linear and smooth, and different weights and road conditions can be flexibly adapted, and the comfort and adaptability of the seat are improved.

[0058] In step S230, the second damping coefficient is determined by matching the feedback frequency with the preset second mapping relationship, and the preset second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the feedback frequency and the second damping coefficient.

[0059] Specifically, the feedback frequency of the seat can reflect the vibration state and the actual response of the seat, including whether there is excessive vibration, insufficient damping and the like, therefore, the feedback frequency is matched with the preset second mapping relationship to determine the frequency adjustment coefficient, and the preset second mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between the feedback frequency and the frequency adjustment coefficient; the second damping coefficient is determined by calculating according to the feedback frequency and the frequency adjustment coefficient. In this way, the second damping coefficient determined based on the feedback frequency of the seat can further optimize the adjustment of the seat damping, so that the seat can automatically adapt to the actual vibration state, eliminate unnecessary high-frequency or low-frequency vibration, reduce the slight vibration interference to the passenger, and help to reduce body fatigue, relieve muscle and joint pressure, and improve the comfort of the ride when the passenger rides for a long time.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, the number of times that the acceleration of the seat passes through zero in a preset period is taken as the feedback frequency of the seat, and the frequency interval in which the feedback frequency of the seat is located and the frequency adjustment coefficient are one-to-one corresponding. For example, when the feedback frequency of the seat is between 0-3Hz (Hertz), the frequency adjustment coefficient is calibrated to 0.05; if the feedback frequency of the seat is between 4-6Hz, the frequency adjustment coefficient is calibrated to 0.1; if the feedback frequency of the seat is between 4-6Hz, the frequency adjustment coefficient is calibrated to 0.15, and if the feedback frequency of the seat is between 7-10Hz, the frequency adjustment coefficient is calibrated to 0.2. Wherein, the division of the frequency interval and the setting of the frequency adjustment coefficient can be adjusted according to the actual demand, which is not limited.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the expression of the second damping coefficient is as follows:

[0062] Q = γ · f Formula (2)

[0063] Wherein, Q in formula (2) represents the second damping coefficient, γ represents the frequency adjustment coefficient, and f represents the feedback frequency.

[0064] By the above manner, the fine adjustment mechanism based on the feedback of the seat can further optimize the adjustment of the seat damping.

[0065] Step S240, the third damping coefficient is determined by matching the third preset mapping relationship with the road type and the road surface vibration condition. The third preset mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the road type, the road surface vibration condition and the third damping coefficient.

[0066] Specifically, although different damping adjustment coefficients are introduced in the first damping coefficient according to different road surface vibration conditions to control the sensitivity of damping coefficient adjustment, in order to reduce the error caused by misjudgment of the road surface vibration condition, and considering that the road type will affect the severity of the road surface vibration, i.e. the road surface vibration condition, the road type and the road surface vibration condition are matched with the third mapping relationship respectively to determine the road adjustment coefficient and the vibration adjustment coefficient. The third mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between the road type and the road adjustment coefficient, and a mapping relationship between the road surface vibration condition and the vibration adjustment coefficient. The third damping coefficient is determined by calculating according to the road adjustment coefficient and the vibration adjustment coefficient.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the vibration adjustment coefficient is an adjustment coefficient related to the degree of road surface bumping, i.e. the severity of road surface vibration, which is positively correlated with the grade of the road surface vibration condition. The value of the vibration adjustment coefficient is within a preset fluctuation range, for example, the vibration adjustment coefficient is calibrated between 0.05 and 0.45. The vibration adjustment coefficient corresponding to different road surface vibration conditions can be adjusted within the range according to actual needs. The road adjustment coefficient is one-to-one corresponding to the road type. The degree of road surface vibration is usually different under different road types. The more severe the vibration, the greater the damping required to filter the vibration transmitted by the road surface. Therefore, the setting of the road adjustment coefficient is positively correlated with the grade of the road surface vibration condition. For example, if the road type is a highway, the road adjustment coefficient is calibrated to 0.7; if the road type is an urban road, the road adjustment coefficient is calibrated to 0.9; if the urban road is a non-paved road, the road adjustment coefficient is calibrated to 1.2. In this way, the error caused by misjudgment of the road type to the road surface vibration condition is reduced, the first damping coefficient can be further optimized, and the accuracy of the seat damping control is improved.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, the expression for calculating the third damping coefficient is as follows:

[0069] S = δ · D Equation (3)

[0070] Wherein, S in equation (3) represents the third damping coefficient, δ represents the vibration adjustment coefficient, and D represents the road adjustment coefficient.

[0071] Step S250, the first damping coefficient is compensated and calculated according to the second damping coefficient and the third damping coefficient to obtain a target damping coefficient for damping control of a target seat.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, the second damping coefficient and the third damping coefficient are added to the first damping coefficient to compensate for the first damping coefficient, further optimizing the damping control of the target seat and ensuring the accuracy of the control.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present application, the expression for calculating the target damping coefficient is as follows:

[0074] C=C1+Q+S Formula (4)

[0075] Wherein, C in formula (4) represents the target damping coefficient, C1 represents the first damping coefficient, S represents the third damping coefficient, Q represents the second damping coefficient, and D represents the road adjustment coefficient.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, the target seat may be damped by a magnetorheological damper, or other types of dampers may be used for control.

[0077] In the above manner, the target damping coefficient calculated is formed by a combination of multivariable linear functions, which can achieve a smooth transition of the damping adjustment and ensure that the damping coefficient changes smoothly with changes in variables such as passenger weight and road conditions, thereby avoiding the abrupt feeling during the seat damping adjustment process and providing passengers with a smoother and more comfortable riding experience.

[0078] The seat damping control method provided in this application has the following advantages: First, a preset first mapping relationship is matched based on passenger weight and road vibration conditions to determine a first damping coefficient, so that the first damping coefficient is adaptively adjusted based on passenger weight and the intensity of road vibration, two factors that directly affect the seat vibration response. Furthermore, a preset second mapping relationship is matched based on the feedback frequency to determine a second damping coefficient, taking into account the impact of the seat's own vibration feedback on ride comfort. Furthermore, a preset third mapping relationship is matched based on road type and road vibration conditions to determine a third damping coefficient, taking into account the impact of road type on road vibration conditions and avoiding misjudgment. Finally, the first damping coefficient is compensated and calculated based on the second and third damping coefficients to obtain a target damping coefficient for damping control of the target seat. In this way, the seat damping coefficient can be dynamically and adaptively adjusted based on the diversity of passenger weight and the intensity of road vibration, improving the adaptability and comfort of seat damping control.

[0080] The acquisition module 310 acquires the road condition information of the vehicle, and the passenger weight and the feedback frequency borne by the target seat, wherein the road condition information includes the road surface vibration condition and the road type.

[0081] The first determination module 320 matches the preset first mapping relationship in combination with the passenger weight and the road surface vibration condition to determine the first damping coefficient, wherein the preset first mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the passenger weight, the road surface vibration condition and the first damping coefficient.

[0082] The second determination module 330 matches the preset second mapping relationship based on the feedback frequency to determine the second damping coefficient, wherein the preset second mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the feedback frequency and the second damping coefficient.

[0083] The third determination module 340 matches the preset third mapping relationship in combination with the road type and the road surface vibration condition to determine the third damping coefficient, wherein the preset third mapping relationship is a mapping relationship between the road type, the road surface vibration condition and the third damping coefficient.

[0084] The damping control module 350 compensates and calculates the first damping coefficient according to the second damping coefficient and the third damping coefficient to obtain the target damping coefficient, so as to perform damping control on the target seat.
