They are relative concepts and may change accordingly according to their different positions and different usage conditions. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0081] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above-mentioned in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0082] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the split central armrest in the embodiment of the present application includes a slide rail 1 and an armrest 2 , and the armrest 2 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 1 .

[0083] In this embodiment, when the control method of the split central armrest is in the state of controlling the armrest 2, if the occupant controls it through other control methods, the automatic control will stop.

[0084] The control method of the split central armrest in the present application example is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, including:

[0085] Step S501: In response to a pick-up or drop-off request, obtaining vehicle status information according to the pick-up or drop-off request;

[0086] Step S502: adjusting the state of the armrest according to the vehicle state information.

[0087] Specifically, the prerequisite for responding to the pick-up and drop-off request is that the vehicle has turned on the pick-up and drop-off function at this time. If the vehicle does not turn on this function, the vehicle will not respond to the pick-up and drop-off request.

[0088] When receiving a pick-up or drop-off request, the vehicle first determines the type of the pick-up or drop-off request, obtains different vehicle status information according to different types, and adjusts the status of the armrest 2 according to the obtained vehicle status information.

[0089] A control method for a split central armrest in an embodiment of the present application, the split central armrest includes a slide rail 1 and an armrest 2 slidably arranged on the slide rail 1, the control method includes obtaining vehicle status information according to a welcoming or seeing-off request, and adjusting the state of the armrest according to the vehicle status information, so that when passengers get on or off the vehicle, welcoming or seeing-off actions can be performed for the passengers according to the vehicle status information, filling the gap in the prior art that there is no method for automatically adjusting the central armrest and its small table, optimizing the linkage between the components, solving the conflict problem existing in the traditional central armrest system, and improving the overall riding comfort.

[0090] In one embodiment, the guest welcoming and guest seeing-off request includes a guest welcoming request and a guest seeing-off request, and the vehicle status information includes door status information and armrest status information;

[0091] In response to the pick-up and drop-off request, vehicle status information is obtained according to the pick-up and drop-off request, specifically including:

[0092] In response to the welcome request, obtaining door status information and armrest status information;

[0093] In response to a guest escort request, armrest status information is obtained.

[0094] In this embodiment, the pick-up and drop-off requests include a pick-up request and a drop-off request, wherein the pick-up request is applicable to the situation when the passenger just takes a seat, and the drop-off request is applicable to the situation when the passenger leaves the vehicle.

[0095] When the vehicle detects a welcome request, it will obtain door status information and armrest status information, where the door status information includes the status information of the main driver's door, the front passenger door and the rear door.

[0096] When the vehicle detects a request to drop off a guest, only the armrest status information will be obtained because the vehicle is locked and there is no one in the vehicle.

[0097] Different status information is obtained according to the difference between the welcoming request and the seeing-off request, and then the status of the armrest 2 is adjusted according to the obtained status information. When the welcoming request is made, the door status information and the armrest status information are obtained to determine whether the passenger is on the bus, thereby improving the passenger's riding experience. When the seeing-off request is made, only the armrest status information is obtained to reduce the system's resource consumption. The embodiments of the present application can provide specific and timely responses for different scenarios, thereby enhancing the passenger's vehicle experience.

[0098] In one embodiment, the door status information includes the opening and closing status of the main driver's door, the opening and closing status of the passenger door, and the opening and closing status of the rear door;

[0099] When the guest pick-up and drop-off request is a guest pick-up request, the state of the armrest 2 is adjusted according to the vehicle state information, specifically including:

[0100] If the main driver's door is open, the main driver's door passenger status is obtained, and the state of armrest 2 is adjusted according to the main driver's door passenger status and armrest status information;

[0101] Otherwise, obtain the opening and closing state of the passenger door. If the opening and closing state of the passenger door is open, obtain the main driver obstacle distance between the main driver door and the surrounding environment, and adjust the state of the armrest 2 according to the main driver obstacle distance and the armrest state information;

[0102] Otherwise, the rear door opening and closing state is obtained, and if the rear door opening and closing state is open, the state of the armrest 2 is adjusted according to the armrest state information.

[0103] In this embodiment, when responding to a welcome request, it is first determined how to adjust the status information of the armrest 2 based on the door status information. If the main driver's door is open, that is, the main driver's door opening and closing status is open, then it is continued to obtain whether there is someone in the main driver's seat, that is, the main driver's seat passenger status, and adjust the status of the armrest 2 based on the main driver's seat passenger status and the armrest status information.

[0104] The status of the main driver's door is judged first because when the main driver's door is open and there is someone in the main driver's door, the driver is very likely about to start driving. At this time, the main driver's seat should be adjusted first to improve the comfort and convenience of the vehicle.

[0105] If the main driver's door is closed, the status of the passenger door is obtained. If the passenger door is open, that is, the passenger door opening and closing status is open, the main driver's obstacle distance is obtained. The main driver's obstacle distance is the distance between the main driver's door and the surrounding environment. The status of armrest 2 is adjusted according to the main driver's obstacle distance and the armrest status information. When there is an obstacle near the main driver's door and the driver cannot get on the car, the driver can go around to the passenger door to get on the car. At this time, the main driver's obstacle distance is the key data for judging whether the driver can get on the car at the main driver's door.

[0106] Only when the main driver's door is closed will the status of the front passenger door be judged. When the front passenger door is open, it is possible that a front passenger passenger has gotten on the car, or there are obstacles around the main driver's door and the door cannot be opened normally. At this time, the main driver's door obstacle distance from the surrounding environment is obtained, and the main driver's door is judged based on the main driver's obstacle distance to understand the current scenario and make a judgment on the central armrest. Taking into account more situations, a more comprehensive and flexible automatic adjustment of the central armrest can be achieved, thereby improving the overall riding experience.

[0107] If the front passenger door is closed, the status of the rear door is obtained. If the rear door is open, that is, the rear door opening and closing status is open, it means that neither the main driver nor the front passenger door is in the car at this time, but there will be passengers at the rear door. In this case, the status of armrest 2 is adjusted according to the armrest status information.

[0108] The rear door status will only be judged when the main driver's door and the front passenger door are both closed. When the rear door is open, it is very likely that rear passengers are getting on the car. Adjusting the status of armrest 2 according to the armrest status information can improve the entry and exit experience of rear passengers and make the riding process smoother.

[0109] First, judge whether the main driver's door is opened or closed. If the main driver's door is opened first, it is very likely that the driver is preparing to get on the car and drive. At this time, armrest service is given priority to the main driver's seat. When the main driver's door is closed, judge whether the front passenger door is opened or closed. If the front passenger door is opened first, it is very likely that the front passenger is preparing to get on the car. At this time, based on whether the main driver's door can be opened as a reference, it can be judged whether the driver is getting on the car from the front passenger door. When the front passenger door is closed, judge whether the rear door is opened or closed. If the rear door is opened first, it is very likely that the passenger is preparing to get on the car at the rear door. At this time, the vehicle can welcome the rear passengers. Priority judgment based on door status information can cover most situations and is not prone to conflicts. The system can respond intelligently according to different door states, so that each situation can be properly handled, improving the overall intelligence level and response efficiency of the system and improving overall comfort.

[0110] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in one preferred embodiment, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 222, and the front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are respectively slidably disposed on the slide rail 1;

[0111] The armrest status information includes the front armrest position and the rear armrest position;

[0112] The front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front welcome position, and the rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear welcome position;

[0113] When the front armrest 21 slides to the front end of the slide rail 1, its position is the front initial position, and the rear armrest 22 slides to a position where it contacts the front armrest 21 at the front initial position, which is the rear initial position;

[0114] The position where the front armrest 21 slides backwards from the front initial position to a first preset distance is the front welcoming position, and the position where the rear armrest 22 slides backwards from the rear initial position to a first preset distance is the rear welcoming position;

[0115] Adjust the state of armrest 2 according to the main driver's passenger state and armrest state information, specifically including:

[0116] If the main driver's passenger status is "occupied", obtain the current rear armrest position;

[0117] If the current rear armrest position is the rear welcome position, adjust the front armrest position to the front initial position, and adjust the rear armrest position to the rear initial position;

[0118] Otherwise, obtain the current front armrest position. If the current front armrest position is the front welcome position, adjust the front armrest position to the front initial position.

[0119] Figure 6 A flow chart of a control method for a split central armrest in an embodiment of the present application is shown, which specifically includes:

[0120] Step S601: When an external signal is received to unlock the vehicle and the vehicle gear is in the parking gear, a welcome request is sent;

[0121] Step S602: In response to the welcoming request, obtaining vehicle status information, the vehicle status information including door status information and armrest status information;

[0122] Step S603: If the main driver's door is open, obtain the main driver's door passenger status;

[0123] Step S604: If the main driver's passenger status is that there is someone, obtain the current rear armrest position;

[0124] Step S605: If the current rear armrest position is the rear welcome position, adjust the front armrest position to the front initial position, and adjust the rear armrest position to the rear initial position;

[0125] Step S606: Otherwise, obtain the current front armrest position, and if the current front armrest position is the front welcome position, adjust the front armrest position to the front initial position.

[0126] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 222 , and the front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are respectively slidably arranged on the slide rail 1 .

[0127] Specifically, in step S601, a welcome request is sent only when the vehicle is unlocked by an external signal and the vehicle is in the parking position. This reduces manual operations and avoids conflicts between components. It can automatically adjust the state of the central armrest to provide passengers with a more convenient and comfortable boarding experience.

[0128] In step S602, in response to the welcome request, the vehicle status information includes door status information and armrest status information, wherein the door status information includes the opening and closing status of the main driver's door, and the armrest status information includes the front armrest position and the rear armrest position, the front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front welcome position, and the rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear welcome position. Adjusting the status of the front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 specifically means adjusting the positions of the front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 on the slide rail 1.

[0129] When the front armrest position is the front initial position and the rear armrest position is the rear initial position, the front armrest 21 is located at the front end of the slide rail 1, and the rear armrest 22 is in contact with the front armrest 21 at this time; when the front armrest position needs to be adjusted to the front welcoming position, the position of sliding backward from the front initial position by the first preset distance is the front welcoming position, and the position of sliding backward from the rear initial position by the first preset distance is the rear welcoming position.

[0130] In step S603, when the main driver's door is open, it is detected whether there is someone in the main driver's seat. If there is someone, it means that the driver has got on the car.

[0131] In step S604, when the main driver's seat is occupied, that is, the main driver's seat is occupied, the next step is determined based on the current position of the rear armrest.

[0132] In step S605, if the current rear armrest position is the rear welcome position, it means that the front armrest position is between the front initial position and the front welcome position. At this time, the rear seat may have been occupied and the driver has just gotten in. In order to facilitate the driver's driving needs, the front armrest position needs to be adjusted to the front initial position and the rear armrest position to the rear initial position.

[0133] In step S606, if the current rear armrest position is not the rear welcome position, it is determined that the rear armrest 22 may be in use by the rear row at this time, and the rear armrest position is not adjusted, and only the current front armrest position is obtained. If the current front armrest position is the front welcome position, the front armrest position is adjusted to the front initial position to facilitate the use of the main driver.

[0134] If the current front armrest position is not the front welcome position, then the front armrest position may be the front initial position at this time, and there is no need to adjust the front armrest position; if the current front armrest position is not the front welcome position or the front initial position, then the rear passengers may be using the front armrest 21, so the front armrest position is not adjusted, which prevents the situation where the front driver takes a seat while the rear passengers are using the central armrest, causing the central armrest to move forward automatically, and does not affect the use of the rear passengers.

[0135] This embodiment determines whether to adjust the various components of the central armrest based on the current status information of the armrest 21 when the main driving door is opened, and takes multiple situations into consideration to avoid the inconvenience caused by the front armrest 21 moving on its own when the rear passengers are using the central armrest, thereby ensuring the comfort of the rear passengers, reducing manual operation, and improving the overall user experience through seamless transition.

[0136] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in another preferred embodiment, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 22, the front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are slidably disposed on the slide rail 1, and the rear armrest 22 is further provided with an automatic table top 3;

[0137] The armrest status information includes the front armrest position and the rear armrest position. The front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front switching position. The rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear switching position.

[0138] When the front armrest 21 slides to the front end of the slide rail 1, its position is the front initial position, and the rear armrest 22 slides to a position where it contacts the front armrest 21 at the front initial position, which is the rear initial position;

[0139] The position where the front armrest 21 slides backward from the front initial position to the second preset distance is the front switching position, and the position where the rear armrest 22 slides backward from the rear initial position to the second preset distance is the rear switching position;

[0140] When the front armrest is in the forward switching position, a passage for passengers is formed between the passenger seat and the driver's seat;

[0141] Adjust the state of armrest 2 according to the main driver obstacle distance and armrest state information, including:

[0142] Determine the allowable opening degree of the main driving door according to the main driving obstacle distance;

[0143] If the allowable opening of the main driving door is less than the preset target opening, the current rear armrest position is obtained;

[0144] If the current rear armrest position is at or after the rear switching position, the current front armrest position is obtained; if the current front armrest position is before the front switching position, the front armrest position is adjusted to the front switching position;

[0145] If the current rear armrest position is the position before the rear switching position, obtain the current automatic table state. If the automatic table state is folded, check whether there is any item left on the current rear armrest. If there is no item left, adjust the front armrest position to the front switching position and the rear armrest position to the rear switching position.

[0146] If there is an item left on the rear armrest, the item left message will be sent;

[0147] If the automatic table top is in the open state, check whether there is any item left on the current automatic table top 3. If there is no item left, adjust the automatic table top 3 to be folded, the front armrest position to the front switching position, and the rear armrest position to the rear switching position;

[0148] Otherwise, send item left message.

[0149] Figure 7 A flow chart of a control method for a split central armrest in an embodiment of the present application is shown, which specifically includes:

[0150] Step S701: When an external signal is received to unlock the vehicle and the vehicle gear is in the parking gear, a welcome request is sent;

[0151] Step S702: In response to the welcoming request, obtaining vehicle status information, where the vehicle status information includes door status information and armrest status information;

[0152] Step S703: If the main driver's door is closed and the passenger door is open, obtain the main driver's door obstacle distance from the surrounding environment;

[0153] Step S704: determining the allowable opening degree of the main vehicle door according to the main vehicle obstacle distance;

[0154] Step S705: If the allowable opening of the main vehicle door is less than the preset target opening, the current rear armrest position is obtained;

[0155] Step S706: If the current rear armrest position is the rear switch position or a position thereafter, the current front armrest position is obtained;

[0156] Step S707: If the current front armrest position is the position before the front switching position, adjust the front armrest position to the front switching position;

[0157] Step S708: If the current rear armrest position is the position before the rear switch position, obtain the current automatic table board state;

[0158] Step S709: If the automatic table top is in the folded state, then check whether there is any item left on the current rear armrest. If there is no item left, adjust the front armrest position to the front switching position and the rear armrest position to the rear switching position;

[0159] Step S710: If there is any item left behind, send information about the item being left behind;

[0160] Step S711: If the automatic table is in the open state, check whether there is any item left on the current automatic table. If there is no item left, adjust the front armrest position of the automatic table to the front switching position and the rear armrest position to the rear switching position;

[0161] Step S712: If there is any item left behind, send information about the item being left behind.

[0162] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 222 . The front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are slidably arranged on the slide rail 1 , respectively. An automatic table top 3 is also arranged in the rear armrest 22 .

[0163] Specifically, in step S701, the welcome request is sent only when the vehicle is unlocked by an external signal and the vehicle gear is in the parking position. While reducing manual operations, it avoids conflicts between components and can automatically adjust the state of the central armrest to provide passengers with a more convenient and comfortable boarding experience.

[0164] In step S702, the door status information includes the opening and closing status of the main driver's door and the opening and closing status of the co-driver's door; the armrest status information includes the rear armrest position, the front armrest position, the automatic table top status, the rear armrest item left behind status and the automatic table top item left behind status; the front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front switching position; the rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear switching position; the automatic table top 3 in the rear armrest 22 can be opened or folded.

[0165] In step S703, the main driver's door obstacle distance is obtained only when the main driver's door is closed and the passenger door is open, because at this time the passenger may be getting on the car, or the main driver's door cannot be opened and closed normally due to the surrounding environment, and the driver gets on the car from the passenger door. At this time, the distance between the main driver's door and the surrounding environment is obtained as the main driver's door obstacle distance, and the status of the front armrest 21 and / or the rear armrest 22 and / or the automatic table top 3 is adjusted according to the main driver's door obstacle distance and the armrest status information.

[0166] When the front armrest position needs to be adjusted to the front switching position, the position of sliding backwards from the front initial position to the second preset distance is the front switching position. When the rear armrest 22 needs to be adjusted to the rear switching position, the position of sliding backwards from the rear initial position to the second preset distance is the rear switching position. When the front armrest 21 is in the front switching position, a passage for the occupant to pass through is formed between the co-driver seat and the main driver seat, and the main driver seat can easily move to the co-driver seat through this passage. When the car is parked in a narrow section and the main driver's door cannot be opened, the main driver can get off from the co-driver door through this passage. Similarly, when the main driver needs to get on the car, if the main driver's door cannot be opened normally, the main driver can get on from the co-driver door. When the main driver's door is closed and the co-driver's door is opened, the vehicle will use radar / camera to determine the main driver's obstacle distance of the surrounding environment of the main driver's door, so as to determine whether the main driver's door can get on. If not, the vehicle defaults to the driver entering from the co-driver's door, and the front armrest position will be adjusted to the front switching position. The passage formed at this time can make the driver easily switch from the co-driver seat to the main driver's seat.

[0167] In step S704, after obtaining the main driver's door obstacle distance, the allowable opening of the main driver's door is determined according to the main driver's door obstacle distance, that is, the opening of the main driver's door that can be opened under the influence of the surrounding environment at this time. If the allowable opening of the main driver's door is greater than or equal to the preset target opening, the main driver can enter normally from the main driver's door at this time. In this case, the person who opens the co-driver's door is assumed to be a passenger, and the central armrest is not adjusted.

[0168] In step S705, if the allowable opening of the main driving door is less than the preset target opening, that is, the main driving door cannot be opened normally to the opening that the driver can enter, the status of the front armrest 21 and / or the rear armrest 22 and / or the automatic table top 3 will be adjusted according to the armrest status information.

[0169] First, obtain the current rear armrest position. If the current rear armrest position is the rear switching position or later, the rear passenger may be using the rear armrest 22 at this time, and the position of the rear armrest 22 does not prevent the driver from switching from the passenger seat to the driver's seat, then only the position of the front armrest 21 can be adjusted.

[0170] In step S706, the current front armrest position is obtained again. If the current front armrest position is before the front switching position, the front armrest position is adjusted to the front switching position in step S707. If the current front armrest position is at the front switching position and thereafter, there is no need to adjust the central armrest because a passage for passengers to switch seats has been formed between the driver's seat and the front passenger seat.

[0171] In step S708, if the current rear armrest position is the position before the rear switching position, it means that the current front armrest position is also the position before the front switching position. At this time, the channel for the passengers to switch seats has not been formed. Then, the current automatic table status is obtained. If the automatic table status is not raised, it means that the rear passengers are not using the automatic table 3. When adjusting the rear armrest 22, the automatic table 3 will not cause harm to the passengers.

[0172] In step S709, if the items left on the current rear armrest 22 are detected to avoid damage to the left items when the rear armrest position is subsequently adjusted, if there are no items left on the rear armrest 22, the front armrest position is adjusted to the front switching position and the rear armrest position is adjusted to the rear switching position, forming a channel for the front passengers to switch seats, making it convenient for the driver to switch from the passenger seat to the driver's seat.

[0173] In step S710 , if there are items left on the rear armrest 22 , an item left message is sent to remind the driver to first remove the items on the rear armrest 22 to avoid unnecessary damage to the items when the rear armrest 22 is subsequently adjusted.

[0174] In step S711, if the automatic table top 3 is currently open, it is detected whether there are any items left on the automatic table top 3. If there are no items left, the table top can be directly adjusted to be folded, and then the front armrest position is adjusted to the front switching position, and the rear armrest position is adjusted to the rear switching position;

[0175] In step S712, if there are items left on the automatic table 3, it means that the rear passengers may be using the automatic table 3, or there are items left by the rear passengers on the automatic table 3, then the vehicle sends an item left behind information to the driver to remind the driver that there are items left behind in the back seat.

[0176] This embodiment determines whether the main driver's door cannot be opened normally based on the obstacle distance when the front passenger door is open, thereby facilitating the driver to switch from the front passenger seat to the main driver's seat. At the same time, multiple factors are taken into consideration to avoid affecting the passengers when the central armrest is automatically adjusted, thereby ensuring the comfort and safety of the passengers, reducing the need for manual operation, and improving operating efficiency.

[0177] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, in another embodiment, a lifting column 4 is further provided between the rear armrest 22 and the automatic table board 3. When the automatic table board 3 needs to be opened, the lifting column 4 needs to be raised first, and then the opening and folding of the automatic table board 3 are controlled;

[0178] In this embodiment, if the main driver's door is in the closed state and the passenger door is in the open state, when it is necessary to control the automatic table top 3 to be folded and adjust the position of the rear armrest 22, it is necessary to first control the automatic table top 3 to be folded and the lifting column 4 to be lowered before the position of the rear armrest 22 can be controlled.

[0179] When the automatic table top 3 needs to be controlled, it is necessary to first obtain the current state of the lifting column. If the state of the lifting column is not raised, the automatic table top 3 is not opened. At this time, it is assumed that the rear passengers have not used the automatic table top 3. At this time, it is only necessary to detect the state of items left behind on the rear armrest 22. When there is nothing left behind, the front armrest position and the rear armrest position can be directly adjusted to the front switching position and the rear switching position. If there is anything left behind, it is necessary to send item left behind information to remind the driver to clean up the left behind items on the rear armrest to avoid damaging the left behind items on the rear armrest when adjusting the rear armrest position later.

[0180] If the lifting column is in the raised state, the automatic table top 3 may be opened or folded at this time. At this time, it is necessary to judge the current state of the automatic table top. If the automatic table top is folded, the rear passengers are not using the automatic table top 3 at this time. At this time, the lifting column 4 can be adjusted to descend, and the front armrest position and the rear armrest position can be adjusted to the front switching position and the rear switching position.

[0181] If the lifting column is in the raised state and the automatic table is in the open state, the rear passengers are likely to have left items on the automatic table 3, so that the automatic table 3 is not in the folded state when leaving. In this case, the automatic table is checked to see if there are any items left.

[0182] If there are items left behind, the information about the items left behind is sent to remind the driver to remove the left items on the automatic table 3 first to avoid damage to the left items when the automatic table is put away later.

[0183] If there is nothing left on the automatic table top, the automatic table top can be adjusted to be folded, and the lifting column 4 can be lowered to adjust the front armrest position and the rear armrest position to the front switching position and the rear switching position.

[0184] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in another preferred embodiment, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 22, the front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are slidably disposed on the slide rail 1, and the rear armrest 22 is further provided with an automatic table top 3;

[0185] The armrest status information includes the front armrest position, rear armrest position and automatic table status;

[0186] The front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front welcome position, and the rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear welcome position;

[0187] When the front armrest 21 slides to the front end of the slide rail 1, its position is the front initial position, and the rear armrest 22 slides to a position where it contacts the front armrest 21 at the front initial position, which is the rear initial position;

[0188] The position where the front armrest 21 slides backwards from the front initial position to a first preset distance is the front welcoming position, and the position where the rear armrest 22 slides backwards from the rear initial position to a first preset distance is the rear welcoming position;

[0189] Adjust the state of armrest 2 according to the armrest state information, specifically including:

[0190] If the current rear armrest position is not the rear welcome position, obtain the current automatic table status;

[0191] If the automatic table board is in the folded state, check whether there are any items left on the rear armrest 22. If there are no items left, adjust the front armrest position to the front welcome position and the rear armrest position to the rear welcome position;

[0192] If the automatic table is in the open state, check whether there is any item left on the current automatic table 3. If there is no item left, adjust the automatic table to the closed state.

[0193] Figure 8 A flow chart showing a control method of a split central armrest in an embodiment of the present application is shown, including:

[0194] Step S801: When an external signal is received to unlock the vehicle and the vehicle gear is in the parking gear, a welcome request is sent;

[0195] Step S802: In response to the welcoming request, obtain vehicle status information, where the vehicle status information includes door status information and armrest status information.

[0196] Step S803: If the main driver's door is closed, the passenger door is closed, the rear door is open, and the current rear armrest position is not the rear welcome position, then obtain the current automatic table board state;

[0197] Step S804: If the automatic table board is in the folded state, then check whether there are any items left on the rear armrest 22. If there are no items left, adjust the front armrest position to the front welcome position and the rear armrest position to the rear welcome position;

[0198] Step S805: If the automatic table top is in the open state, detect whether there are any items left on the current automatic table top. If there are no items left, adjust the automatic table top to the folded state.

[0199] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 222 . The front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are slidably arranged on the slide rail 1 , respectively. An automatic table top 3 is also arranged in the rear armrest 22 .

[0200] Specifically, in step S801, the welcome request is sent only when the vehicle is unlocked by an external signal and the vehicle gear is in the parking position. While reducing manual operations, it avoids conflicts between components and can automatically adjust the state of the central armrest to provide passengers with a more convenient and comfortable boarding experience.

[0201] In step S802, the door status information includes the opening and closing status of the main driver's door and the opening and closing status of the co-driver's door; the armrest status information includes the rear armrest position, the front armrest position, the automatic table top status and the automatic table top item left status; the front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front welcome position; the rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear welcome position; the automatic table top 3 in the rear armrest 22 can be opened or folded.

[0202] When the front armrest position is the front initial position and the rear armrest position is the rear initial position, the front armrest 21 is located at the front end of the slide rail 1, and the rear armrest 22 is in contact with the front armrest 21 at this time; when the front armrest position needs to be adjusted to the front welcoming position, the position of sliding backward from the front initial position by the first preset distance is the front welcoming position, and the position of sliding backward from the rear initial position by the first preset distance is the rear welcoming position.

[0203] The front initial position, front welcome position, rear initial position and rear welcome position in the embodiment of the present application are consistent with the above. When only the rear door is open, it is assumed that the passenger is about to enter the vehicle. At this time, the central armrest is adjusted according to the armrest status information so that the passenger can feel the welcoming effect.

[0204] In step S803, the current rear armrest position is obtained only when the main driver's door and the front passenger door are both closed and the rear door is open. At this time, it is likely that the rear seat passengers are getting on the vehicle. The status of the front armrest 21 and / or the rear armrest 22 and / or the automatic table top 3 is adjusted according to the armrest status information.

[0205] If the current rear armrest position is the rear welcome position, the current front armrest position is between the front initial position and the front welcome position, which does not affect the rear passengers getting on the bus and sitting down. At this time, the driver may be using the front armrest 21, so the central armrest is not adjusted.

[0206] If the current rear armrest position is not the rear welcome position, the current automatic table status is obtained, and it is determined whether the rear passengers are using the automatic table and other functions based on the automatic table status.

[0207] In step S804, if the automatic table top is in the folded state, the automatic table top 3 is not being used by the rear passengers at this time, and then it is detected whether there are any items left on the rear armrest 22 to prevent safety problems from occurring when the automatic table top 3 is adjusted later. If there are no items left, it means that adjusting the rear armrest at this time will not affect the rear passengers, so the front armrest position can be adjusted to the front welcome position and the rear armrest position can be adjusted to the rear welcome position.

[0208] In step S805, if the automatic table top is in the open state, the automatic table top 3 may be being used by the rear passengers, or items may be left on the automatic table top 3, causing the automatic table top 3 to be unable to close automatically. At this time, it is detected whether there are items left on the automatic table top 3. If no items are left, it means that the rear passengers are not using the automatic table top 3 and no items are left on the automatic table top 3. At this time, the automatic table top can be adjusted to the folded state to facilitate the rear passengers to get on the vehicle.

[0209] If there are items left on the automatic table 3, the rear passengers may be using the automatic table 3, or there may be items left on it. In this case, the central armrest should not be adjusted to avoid damage to the items on the automatic table 3 when adjusting the central armrest.

[0210] The embodiment of the present application takes into account the position of the rear armrest, the status of items left on the rear armrest, the status of the automatic table top and the status of items left on the automatic table top in turn, and provides a flexible adjustment plan to avoid inconvenience to passengers who are using the central armrest. At the same time, it provides a welcoming function for passengers preparing to enter the vehicle, improves the convenience and safety of riding, and reduces the need for manual operation.

[0211] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, in another embodiment, a lifting column 4 is further provided between the rear armrest 22 and the automatic table board 3. When the automatic table board 3 needs to be opened, the lifting column 4 needs to be raised first, and then the opening and folding of the automatic table board 3 are controlled;

[0212] In this embodiment, if the main driver's door and the passenger door are both closed, and the rear door is open, when it is necessary to control the automatic table top 3 to be folded and adjust the position of the rear armrest 22, it is necessary to first control the automatic table top 3 to be folded and the lifting column 4 to be lowered before the position of the rear armrest 22 can be controlled.

[0213] When the automatic table 3 needs to be controlled, the current state of the lifting column must be obtained first. If the lifting column is not raised, the automatic table 3 is not opened. At this time, it is assumed that the rear passengers have not used the automatic table 3. At this time, it is only necessary to detect the status of items left in the rear armrest. When there is nothing left, the front armrest position and the rear armrest position can be directly adjusted to the front welcome position and the rear welcome position.

[0214] If the lifting column is in the raised state, the automatic table top 3 may be opened or folded at this time. At this time, it is necessary to judge the current state of the automatic table top. If the automatic table top is folded, the rear passengers are not using the automatic table top 3 at this time. At this time, the lifting column 4 can be adjusted to descend, and the front armrest position and the rear armrest position can be adjusted to the front welcoming position and the rear welcoming position.

[0215] If the lifting column is in the raised state and the automatic table is in the open state, the rear passengers are likely to have left items on the automatic table 3, so that the automatic table 3 is not in the folded state when leaving. In this case, the automatic table is checked to see if there are any items left.

[0216] If there is nothing left on the automatic table, the automatic table can be adjusted to be folded, and the lifting column 4 is lowered to adjust the front armrest position and the rear armrest position to the front welcome position and the rear welcome position;

[0217] If there are items left behind, the automatic table top will not be adjusted to avoid damage to the items when the automatic table top is folded up.

[0218] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in another preferred embodiment, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 22, the front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are slidably disposed on the slide rail 1, and the rear armrest 22 is further provided with an automatic table top 3;

[0219] The armrest status information includes the front armrest position, the rear armrest position and the automatic table board status; the front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front guest delivery position, and the rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear guest delivery position;

[0220] When the front armrest 21 slides to the front end of the slide rail 1, its position is the front initial position, and the rear armrest 22 slides to a position where it contacts the front armrest 21 at the front initial position, which is the rear initial position;

[0221] The position where the front armrest 21 slides backwards from the front initial position to a third preset distance is the front guest delivery position, and the position where the rear armrest 22 slides backwards from the rear initial position to a third preset distance is the rear guest delivery position;

[0222] When the guest pick-up and drop-off request is a guest drop-off request, the state of the armrest 2 is adjusted according to the vehicle state information, specifically including:

[0223] If the automatic table is in the folded state, adjust the front armrest position to the front guest position, and adjust the rear armrest position to the rear guest position;

[0224] Otherwise, check whether there is any item left on the current automatic table 3. If there is any item left, send the item left information and adjust the front armrest position to the front initial position;

[0225] Otherwise, adjust the automatic table top 3 to be folded, the front armrest position to be the front guest position, and the rear armrest position to be the rear guest position.

[0226] Fig. 9 A flow chart showing a control method of a split central armrest in an embodiment of the present application is shown, including:

[0227] Step S901: Sending a guest delivery request when the vehicle is powered off and in a locked state and the number of passengers in the vehicle is zero;

[0228] Step S902: in response to the guest escort request, obtaining vehicle status information, the vehicle status information including handrail status information;

[0229] Step S903: If the automatic table board is in the folded state, the front armrest position is adjusted to the front guest position, and the rear armrest position is adjusted to the rear guest position;

[0230] Step S904: Otherwise, check whether there is any item left on the current automatic table top. If there is any item left, send the item left information and adjust the front armrest position to the front initial position;

[0231] Step S905: Otherwise, adjust the automatic table top to be folded, the front armrest position to be the front guest position, and the rear armrest position to be the rear guest position.

[0232] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, the armrest 2 includes a front armrest 21 and a rear armrest 222 . The front armrest 21 and the rear armrest 22 are slidably arranged on the slide rail 1 , respectively. An automatic table top 3 is also arranged in the rear armrest 22 .

[0233] Specifically, in step S901, the passenger drop-off request is sent only when the vehicle is locked and there are no passengers. This avoids triggering unnecessary operations when there are people in the vehicle, increases safety, and can also prepare in advance for the passenger's next ride, realize automated management, reduce manual operations, and improve the vehicle's intelligence and humanization level.

[0234] In step S902, the vehicle status information includes armrest status information, and the armrest status information includes the front armrest position, the rear armrest position, the automatic table top status and the automatic table top item left status. The front armrest position includes the front initial position and the front guest position, and the rear armrest position includes the rear initial position and the rear guest position. The automatic table top 3 in the rear armrest 22 can be opened or folded.

[0235] When the front armrest position is the front initial position and the rear armrest position is the rear initial position, the front armrest 21 is located at the front end of the slide rail 1, and the rear armrest 22 is in contact with the front armrest 21 at this time; when the front armrest position needs to be adjusted to the front guest-delivering position, the position of sliding backward from the front initial position by the third preset distance is the front guest-delivering position, and the position of sliding backward from the rear initial position by the third preset distance is the rear guest-delivering position.

[0236] When responding to a request to send off a guest, the occupants in the vehicle have already left the vehicle, and the automatic adjustment of the central armrest will not affect the occupants. Therefore, it is possible to directly determine how to adjust the status information of the front armrest 21, the rear armrest 22 and the automatic table top 3 based on the armrest status information.

[0237] In step S903, the status of the automatic table is first obtained. If the status of the automatic table is folded, it is assumed that the rear seat passenger has not left any items on the automatic table 3. At this time, the front armrest position is directly adjusted to the front guest position and the rear armrest position is directly adjusted to the rear guest position.

[0238] In step S904, if the automatic table top is in the open state, it is possible that items are left on the automatic table top at this time. In this case, it is detected whether there are items left on the automatic table top to avoid direct adjustment of the rear armrest position and damage to the items left on the automatic table top. If there are items left, the item left behind information is sent and the front armrest position is adjusted to the front initial position to notify the driver that items are left behind in the back row. After receiving the item left behind information, the driver can remind the passengers to return to the vehicle and take away the left items. At this time, the front armrest position is adjusted to the front initial position to facilitate the driver to enter the main driver's seat to drive next time.

[0239] In step S905, if there is no item left on the automatic table, it is necessary to perform a guest escort operation, and directly adjust the automatic table 3 to be folded, the front armrest position to the front guest escort position, and the rear armrest position to the rear guest escort position.

[0240] This embodiment takes into account the various components of the central armrest under the premise that the passenger leaves the vehicle. When the passenger leaves items on the automatic table 3, the driver can be reminded by sending a message of the items left behind to ensure that the passenger takes all the items with him. After seeing off the passenger, the driver can also be presented with a farewell gift to give the passenger a sense of ceremony.

[0241] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, in another embodiment, a lifting column 4 is further provided between the rear armrest 22 and the automatic table top 3. When the automatic table top 3 needs to be folded, the automatic table top 3 needs to be adjusted to be folded first, and then the lifting column 4 needs to be controlled to descend;

[0242] In this embodiment, if the guest greeting request is a guest sending request, when it is necessary to control the automatic table top 3 to be folded and adjust the position of the rear armrest 22, it is necessary to first control the automatic table top 3 to be folded and the lifting column 4 to be lowered before the position of the rear armrest 22 can be controlled.

[0243] When the automatic table 3 needs to be controlled, the current state of the lifting column must be obtained first. If the lifting column is not raised, the automatic table 3 is not opened. At this time, it is assumed that the rear passengers are not using the automatic table 3. At this time, the front armrest position and the rear armrest position can be directly adjusted to the front guest position and the rear guest position.

[0244] If the lifting column is in the raised state, the automatic table top 3 may be opened or folded at this time. At this time, it is necessary to judge the current state of the automatic table top. If the automatic table top is folded, the rear passengers are not using the automatic table top 3 at this time. At this time, the lifting column 4 can be adjusted to descend, and the front armrest position and the rear armrest position can be adjusted to the front guest position and the rear guest position.

[0245] If the lifting column is in the raised state and the automatic table is in the open state, the rear passengers are likely to have left items on the automatic table 3, so that the automatic table 3 is not in the folded state when leaving. In this case, the automatic table is checked to see if there are any items left.

[0246] If there is nothing left on the automatic table, the automatic table can be adjusted to be folded, and the lifting column 4 is lowered to adjust the front armrest position and the rear armrest position to the front guest position and the rear guest position;

[0247] If any items are left behind, the system will send a message to remind the driver that there are items left on the automatic table to prevent passengers from leaving items behind, and adjust the front armrest position to the front initial position to facilitate the driver to drive the car next time.

[0248] In a preferred embodiment, the front passenger escort position is the aforementioned front welcoming position, and the rear passenger escort position is the aforementioned rear welcoming position. After the passenger leaves the vehicle, the front armrest position is adjusted to the front welcoming position, and the rear armrest position is adjusted to the rear welcoming position, to facilitate the passenger to get on the vehicle next time, thereby improving the convenience of the passenger getting on the vehicle next time.

[0249] In one embodiment, before responding to the guest pick-up and drop-off request, the method further includes:

[0250] When an external signal is received to unlock the vehicle and the vehicle gear is in the parking gear, a welcome request is sent;

[0251] A request to send a guest is sent when the vehicle is powered off and locked and the number of passengers in the vehicle is zero.

[0252] In this embodiment, the type of pick-up and drop-off request is determined according to the different situations of the vehicle, which is more intelligent. At the same time, the driver can also turn off this function, that is, the type of pick-up and drop-off request is not determined according to the vehicle situation, thereby canceling the pick-up and drop-off mode.

[0253] When the vehicle is unlocked by an external signal and the vehicle is in the parking position, if the driver's door is opened first, it is very likely that the driver is preparing to get on the vehicle to drive. At this time, armrest service is given priority to the driver's seat, that is, the front armrest and the rear armrest are adjusted to the front initial position and the rear initial position; if the front driver's door is opened first, it is very likely that the front passenger is preparing to get on the vehicle. At this time, based on whether the main driver's door can be opened as a reference, it can be judged whether the driver is getting on the vehicle from the front passenger door. At this time, the front armrest and the rear armrest are moved backwards to form a passage for the driver to switch from the passenger seat to the driver's seat; if the rear door is opened first, it is very likely that the passengers are preparing to get on the vehicle at the rear door. At this time, the vehicle can perform a welcoming operation for the rear passengers.

[0254] The embodiment of the present application simplifies the interaction process between passengers and vehicles by automatically processing pick-up and drop-off requests, while also making the use of vehicles more efficient. It automatically identifies the vehicle status to send pick-up requests or drop-off requests, and ensures that passengers have a smoother and more comfortable experience when getting on and off the vehicle.

[0255] In one embodiment, a welcome request is sent when an external signal unlocks the vehicle and the vehicle gear is in the parking gear. The welcome request will only respond to the first door opened and the welcome request will be exited after the center armrest is adjusted.

[0256] Specifically, when the main driving door is opened, only the following Figure 6 Logically speaking, if you close the main driver's door and open the passenger door, you will not enter the Figure 7The logic judgment is that only the first door opened is responded to, avoiding conflicts in the automatic adjustment of the central armrest. In another embodiment, when the external signal unlocks the vehicle and the vehicle gear is in the parking gear, a welcome request is sent. The welcome request will continue to respond to each open door, and the welcome request will only be exited when the vehicle gear is switched.

[0257] In another embodiment, a welcome request is sent when an external signal unlocks the vehicle and the vehicle gear is in the parking gear. The welcome request continues to respond to each open door until the vehicle gear changes, then the welcome request is exited.

[0258] Specifically, when the main driving door is opened, the vehicle proceeds as follows: Figure 6 The logic judgment shown in the figure, if the main driving door is closed and the passenger door is opened, the following will occur: Figure 7 The logic judgment shown in the figure shows that when the main driver's door and the passenger door are closed and then the rear door is opened, the following situation will occur: Figure 8 According to the logical judgment shown, the central armrest continuously and automatically adjusts the opening and closing of the door, which improves the smoothness of passengers getting on the car, reduces the need for manual operation, and improves passenger comfort.

[0259] In one of the embodiments, the seat will be adjusted at the same time as the center armrest. When adjusting the front armrest position and the rear armrest position, if the seat position needs to be adjusted as well, the movement speed of the front armrest 21, the rear armrest 22 and the seat is controlled according to the distance to be moved to ensure that the seat and the center armrest move synchronously.
