Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the automotive field, and more specifically, to a method, device, vehicle and storage medium for controlling an automotive pedal in the automotive pedal control field. Background Art

[0002] In the related technology, with the development of automobile intelligence, the automobile pedal can be an automatically retractable pedal. For example, when the user is preparing to get off or get on the car, the automobile pedal automatically unfolds, and when the user does not need it, the automobile pedal automatically retracts, thereby improving the user's sense of convenience during use and the car's sense of technology.

[0003] However, the car pedals in the related art are all suitable for ordinary vehicles, such as SUVs, to facilitate users to get on and off the vehicle. However, there are applicability issues with some special vehicles, such as pickup trucks with vehicle cargo boxes. For example, the car pedals only facilitate users to get on and off the cabin, but they cannot play their due role when users get on and off the vehicle cargo box, or take items from the vehicle cargo box. As a result, the convenience and practicality of the car pedals are low, and they cannot meet the user experience, and are in urgent need of improvement. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a control method, device, vehicle and storage medium for a vehicle pedal. The method can extend an unfolded vehicle pedal when the vehicle pedal needs to be extended, such as making it convenient for a user to use the extended portion of the vehicle pedal to take items placed on a cargo box of the vehicle, thereby ensuring convenience during vehicle use while effectively improving the practicality of the vehicle pedal. There is no need to consider the problem of uneven gap between the pedal and the vehicle body, thereby improving the user experience and effectively improving the refined perception of the entire vehicle.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, when the car pedal needs to be extended, the unfolded car pedal can be extended, and when the car pedal is folded, it can be unfolded first and then extended, thereby ensuring convenience during car use. At the same time, the length of the car pedal can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, especially when the car has a cargo box. The practicality of the car pedal is effectively improved, and there is no need to consider the problem of uneven gap between the pedal and the car body.

[0070] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text 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 mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0071] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0072] Before explaining the control method of the automobile pedal provided in the embodiment of the present application, the background involved in the embodiment of the present application is first explained.

[0073] Existing vehicles can expand or close the car pedal of the corresponding side door by detecting the running state of the car, the speed of the car, and the expansion signal of the door, etc. In particular, when the car is a pickup truck, there are generally two mainstream electric car pedals: a short electric car pedal and a long electric car pedal. Among them, the front end of the short electric car pedal is connected to the front wheel fender of the vehicle, and the rear end of the short electric car pedal is connected to the bottom of the vehicle cargo box, that is, the short electric car pedal is not set relative to the vehicle cargo box, while the front end of the long electric car pedal is connected to the front wheel fender of the vehicle, and the rear end of the long electric car pedal is connected to the rear wheel fender of the vehicle, that is, the long electric car pedal can be set relative to the vehicle cargo box, so that the user can not only step on the car pedal to get on and off the seat, but also step on the car pedal to take and put the goods on the vehicle cargo box or get on and off the vehicle cargo box.

[0074] However, the short electric vehicle pedal only provides the condition of stepping on the side of the door, which has great limitations in use and cannot effectively meet the needs of users. Once the gap requirements between the front compartment and the rear cargo box of the vehicle are inconsistent, the appearance gap is uneven, and the rear cargo box is lower than the front compartment in the Z direction, the long electric vehicle pedal cannot be configured, which reduces the reliability and safety of the vehicle. In summary, the convenience and practicality of existing automobile pedals are low, which cannot meet the user experience and urgently need to be improved.

[0075] This application is based on the above-mentioned problem and proposes a control method for a vehicle pedal.

[0076] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling a car pedal provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0077] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0078] In step S101, an extension instruction of a vehicle pedal is received.

[0079] It is understandable that in actual use by users, when encountering a situation where a car pedal needs to be extended, such as a car with a cargo box (such as a pickup truck), when it is necessary to take the goods on the cargo box, the user can issue a car pedal extension instruction to the car. The instruction may be, but is not limited to, the user triggering a trigger button of the car key, a cargo box mode start button on the vehicle, etc., thereby generating a car pedal extension instruction. The user may also make corresponding gestures or voice commands to generate a car pedal extension instruction. This application does not impose specific restrictions and can be set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions.

[0080] As a possible implementation method, the user can trigger the cargo box mode on button, send an extension command to the car pedal, and obtain the actual mode of the car pedal, such as collecting the working voltage and status image of the car pedal, so as to perform subsequent related operations.

[0081] The embodiment of the present application can send an extension command to extend the car pedal when the car pedal needs to be extended, and adjust the length of the car pedal according to the actual needs of the user to ensure convenience during car use, especially when the car has a cargo box. The practicality of the car pedal is effectively improved without considering the problem of uneven gap between the pedal and the car body, thereby enhancing the technological sense of the car and better meeting the actual needs of the user.

[0082] In step S102, when it is detected that the vehicle pedal is in the pedal deployment mode, the vehicle pedal is controlled to enter a first state.

[0083] It is understandable that the modes of the car pedal can be divided into: an extended mode and a retracted mode; the states of the car pedal can be divided into: an extended state and a retracted state. Among them, the first state in the embodiment of the present application is the extended state, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a car pedal in a first state according to a specific implementation of the present application

[0084] In the actual implementation process, when the automobile pedal is in the unfolded mode, if the automobile pedal extension instruction is received, the automobile pedal is extended, that is, the extended part of the automobile pedal is unfolded, and the automobile pedal enters the first state. It should be noted that the extended part of the automobile pedal can be set in any way, such as being built into the main body of the automobile pedal, or being set in parallel with the main body, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0085] For example, Figure 3As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode on button, if the car pedal is in the unfolded mode, that is, the car pedal has been unfolded and is in a normal state, the car pedal controller performs an extension action, extending or extending the extended part. In addition, the car pedal controller of the embodiment of the present application can, but is not limited to, perform the unfolding, extending, retracting or stowing action of the car pedal based on the Hall position memory of the drive motor, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of the control.

[0086] The embodiment of the present application can directly extend the car pedal when the car pedal is in the expanded mode, so that when the user has additional needs for the car pedal, the user can step on the extended part to perform related operations such as taking goods from the vehicle cargo box, thereby effectively meeting the user's usage needs in multiple scenarios.

[0087] In step S103, when it is detected that the vehicle pedal is in the pedal retracted mode, the vehicle pedal is unfolded to enter the second state, and after being in the pedal unfolded mode, the vehicle pedal is controlled to enter the first state, wherein the pedal length in the first state is greater than the pedal length in the second state. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle pedal in a second state according to a specific implementation of the present application.

[0088] It can be understood that the first state in the embodiment of the present application is the extended state of the car pedal. At this time, due to the extension of the extended part, the length of the car pedal is greater than the length of the car pedal when it is retracted and extended; and the second state is the retracted state of the car pedal. At this time, the length of the car pedal is the initial length.

[0089] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present application can first perform a car pedal unfolding action to unfold the car pedal when the car pedal is in the folding mode, and then perform an extension action on the car pedal after the unfolding to extend the extended part of the car pedal.

[0090] For example, Figure 3 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode start button, if the car pedal is in the folded mode, the car pedal controller first performs the unfolding action, and then performs the extension action, so that the user can step on the extended part of the car pedal, which is convenient for user use, such as taking and placing goods in the vehicle cargo box or getting on and off the vehicle cargo box.

[0091] The embodiments of the present application can adjust the length of the car pedal according to the actual needs of the user, especially when the car has a cargo box, which effectively improves the practicality of the car pedal without considering the problem of uneven gap between the pedal and the car body, thereby enhancing the technological sense of the car and better meeting the actual needs of the user.

[0092] Optionally, in some embodiments, the embodiments of the present application also include: receiving a folding instruction of the car pedal; folding the car pedal when the car pedal is in the second state; retracting the extended part of the car pedal when the car pedal is in the first state, and folding the car pedal after the car pedal enters the second state.

[0093] During the actual execution process, after receiving the instruction to retract the car pedal, the embodiment of the present application judges the state of the car pedal. If the car pedal is in a retracted state, the car pedal retracting instruction is directly executed to retract the car pedal; if the car pedal is in an extended state, the extended part of the car pedal is first retracted, and then the car pedal retraction instruction is executed to retract the car pedal.

[0094] For example, Figure 5 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode closing button, the retraction action is first performed to retract the extended part of the car pedal, and then the folding action is performed to fold the car pedal and retract it to the bottom of the car or restore it to an unused state.

[0095] The embodiment of the present application can fold the car pedal in a retracted state when the car pedal needs to be folded, and when the car pedal is extended, it can be retracted first and then folded, thereby achieving orderly folding of the car pedal in different modes, avoiding structural damage of the car pedal caused by disorderly folding, effectively adapting to various vehicle structures, improving the reliability and applicability of control, and enhancing the user experience.

[0096] Optionally, in some embodiments, retracting the car pedal includes: obtaining the actual state of all doors of the car; if the actual state of any door among all doors is open, prohibiting retracting the car pedal, and retracting the car pedal until the actual state of all doors is closed.

[0097] It can be understood that all doors may be all doors on the vehicle, that is, if any door is open, it is prohibited to retract the vehicle pedal, and the vehicle pedal can be retracted only when all doors on the vehicle are closed;

[0098] It can also be all doors on the same side, that is, when all doors on the left side of the car are closed but the right door is partially open, the left car pedal can be retracted, and the right car pedal is prohibited from being retracted. The right car pedal can be retracted only when all doors on the right side are closed. The same applies to the situation where all doors on the right side are closed but the left door is partially open. It can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0099] Specifically, during the operation of the embodiments of the present application, when a vehicle door is in an open state, the present application prohibits the retraction of the vehicle pedal to avoid accidentally triggering the cargo box mode closing button or a vehicle failure, which may cause the vehicle pedal to be accidentally retracted when it is in use or has not been used, causing a safety accident to the user; the action of retracting the vehicle pedal is performed when and only when all the vehicle doors are closed, thereby effectively improving the safety of the vehicle and further avoiding safety accidents.

[0100] Generally, the pedal automatically extends when the vehicle is turned off or the door is opened, and automatically retracts when the door is closed or the vehicle is locked.

[0101] For example, Figure 5 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode closing button, if any of the doors are open at this time, the car pedal retracting action is not performed, and the retracting action is performed after all the doors are closed. There are many ways to detect the state of the door, such as based on the voltage or current of each door, the state image of each door, the open and close state of each door, the actual angle of each door, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the car pedal can be folded only when all the car doors are closed. If any of the car doors are open, the car pedal cannot be folded, which effectively improves the user experience and increases user stickiness.

[0103] Optionally, in some embodiments, the car pedal is prohibited from being retracted until the actual state of all vehicle doors is a closed state, and retracting the car pedal includes: if the car pedal is in a first state, retracting an extended portion of the car pedal, and after the car pedal enters a second state, detecting the actual state of at least one vehicle door of the vehicle; and retracting the car pedal when it is detected that the actual state of at least one vehicle door is a closed state.

[0104] During the actual implementation process, when the embodiment of the present application issues a car pedal folding action when the car doors are open, the car pedal retraction action can be performed first, and then the state of the car doors can be judged. If and only if the car doors are all closed, the car pedal folding action is performed.

[0105] Generally speaking, when the car doors are open, if a command to retract the car pedal is issued, the car pedal can be retracted but not retracted. When all the car doors are closed, the car pedal can be retracted.

[0106] For example, Figure 5As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode closing button on the vehicle's central control, if the door is open, only the retraction action is performed, and the pedal retraction action is not performed. When all the doors of the car are closed, the pedal retraction action is performed.

[0107] The embodiment of the present application can allow the extended part of the car pedal to be retracted first when it is prohibited to fold up the car pedal, so that when it is allowed to fold up the car pedal, it can be folded up as soon as possible, meeting different usage needs in different scenarios, and improving the intelligence and convenience of the car pedal while meeting safety requirements, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0108] Optionally, in some embodiments, retracting the vehicle pedal includes: collecting the retracting resistance applied to the vehicle pedal during the retracting process; determining whether the retracting resistance is greater than a preset threshold; if the retracting resistance is greater than the preset threshold, controlling the vehicle pedal to return to the second state, or maintaining the current state of the vehicle pedal being subjected to the retracting resistance.

[0109] As a possible implementation method, during the execution of the embodiment of the present application, when the resistance of the vehicle pedal is greater than the set value, the vehicle pedal is controlled to remain in the retracted state or maintain the current state of the vehicle pedal during the retraction process of the vehicle. The set value is set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose any specific restrictions.

[0110] Generally, when a car pedal is folded up, it will encounter a certain amount of resistance. The source of the resistance may be, but is not limited to, uneven height of the car compartment, obstacles at the bottom of the car, car faults, and internal factors of the car.

[0111] For example, Figure 6 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode off button on the vehicle's central console, if the resistance signal received during the extension or retraction process of the vehicle pedal is greater than the set value, the extension or retraction action is stopped.

[0112] The embodiment of the present application can collect the folding resistance of the car pedal during the folding process, and when the folding resistance is greater than a certain threshold, stop folding the car pedal or re-expand the car pedal, thereby avoiding pinching incidents and pedal damage and improving the safety and stability of the pedal.

[0113] When the retracting resistance of the automobile pedal is greater than a set value, the automobile pedal is controlled to maintain an extended state or maintain the automobile pedal in a current state, thereby saving automobile energy consumption and improving energy utilization.

[0114] Optionally, in some embodiments, before retracting the car pedal, it also includes: collecting a first actual vehicle speed of the car; when the actual vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first preset vehicle speed and the current mode of the car is a pedal deployment mode, sending a pedal abnormality alarm prompt to the user.

[0115] It can be understood that the abnormal alarm prompt method in the present application can be but is not limited to: acoustic equipment prompts, such as voice prompts, horn prompts, etc., optical equipment, such as display screen prompts, car light prompts, etc., among which the specific prompt method is set by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions, and this application does not make specific restrictions.

[0116] In the actual implementation process, when the actual vehicle speed of the vehicle is greater than the first actual vehicle speed, if the vehicle pedal is still in the deployment mode, an abnormal alarm message needs to be sent to the user. The first actual vehicle speed is set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not make any specific restrictions.

[0117] Generally speaking, when the car is in driving state, the car pedal needs to be automatically closed. If the car pedal is in the expanded mode, an abnormal alarm needs to be sent to the user.

[0118] For example, Figure 7 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode off button on the vehicle's central console, if the vehicle speed is ≥5km / h, the vehicle pedal is not in the folded state and cannot be folded, the vehicle pedal abnormal alarm signal is triggered in the vehicle.

[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a certain speed and the pedal is in the deployed mode, a fault is determined and a pedal abnormality alarm is sent to the user to remind him to check the vehicle pedal to ensure the reliability of the vehicle pedal.

[0120] Optionally, in some embodiments, it also includes: receiving an instruction to deploy the car pedal and collecting a second actual speed of the car; when the second actual speed is greater than or equal to a second preset speed, prohibiting responding to the deployment instruction, deploying the car pedal, and entering the second state.

[0121] As a possible implementation method, after receiving the deployment instruction of the vehicle pedal, the embodiment of the present application determines the actual vehicle speed of the vehicle, and prohibits the deployment of the vehicle pedal when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the second actual vehicle speed. The second actual vehicle speed is set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not make any specific limitation.

[0122] Generally, when the car is in motion, it is forbidden to unfold the car pedal. When the user has a need to unfold the car pedal, it is necessary to first determine the car speed. When the actual speed of the car is greater than or equal to the second actual speed, the car pedal unfolding action is forbidden. Only when the actual speed of the car is less than the second speed can the car pedal unfolding action be performed.

[0123] For example, Figure 7 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode off button on the vehicle's central console, if the vehicle speed is ≥5km / h, the cargo box mode is prohibited from starting or automatically shutting down.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a certain speed, the vehicle pedal is prohibited from being deployed to avoid accidental deployment of the vehicle pedal, or the deployment is prohibited in unsafe circumstances, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle and ensuring the safety of the user.

[0125] During the driving process of the car, the car pedal is generally not deployed. The car pedal can be deployed only when the actual speed of the car is less than a certain value, which saves the energy consumption of the car and improves the energy utilization rate of the vehicle.

[0126] Combination Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the working principle of the automobile pedal control method of the embodiment of the present application is explained through an embodiment.

[0127] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the user presses the cargo box mode start button on the vehicle's central control, if the vehicle pedal is in the retracted and extended state, the vehicle pedal will perform an extension action; if the vehicle pedal is in the retracted and raised state, the vehicle pedal will first perform an extension action and then perform an extension action. The user can step on the extended vehicle pedal to take or put the cargo in the rear cargo box.

[0128] like Figure 5 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode closing button on the vehicle's central console, the recovery action is performed first, and then the folding action is performed (if the door is in the open state, only the shortening action is performed).

[0129] like Figure 6 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode off button on the vehicle's central console, if the resistance signal received during the extension or recovery process of the vehicle's pedal is greater than the set value, the action is stopped.

[0130] like Figure 7 As shown, when the user presses the cargo box mode off button on the vehicle's central control, when the vehicle speed is ≥5km / h, the cargo box mode is prohibited from starting or automatically shutting down. If the vehicle speed is ≥5km / h, the vehicle pedal is not in the retracted state and cannot be retracted, the vehicle pedal abnormality alarm signal is triggered in the vehicle.

[0131] In summary, the present application can extend the unfolded car pedal when the car pedal needs to be extended, such as to facilitate the user to use the extended part of the car pedal to pick up items placed on the vehicle cargo box, and can adopt different folding strategies based on the car pedal mode, folding resistance, door status, and vehicle speed when the car pedal needs to be folded, thereby ensuring convenience during vehicle use while effectively improving the practicality of the car pedal. There is no need to consider the problem of uneven gap between the pedal and the vehicle body, thereby improving the user experience and effectively improving the refined perception of the entire vehicle.
