Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicles, and more specifically, to a vehicle control method, device, vehicle and storage medium in the field of vehicles. Background Art

[0002] The trailer hook is an essential component for off-road vehicles. When using the trailer hook, users usually need to control the opening or closing of the trailer hook through a trailer hook switch. In the prior art, the trailer hook is usually located on the frame at the rear of the vehicle; when the trailer hook of the vehicle is turned on, the trailer hook is in a raised state on the frame at the rear of the vehicle, which makes the trailer hook of the vehicle easily bumped, affecting the function of the trailer hook of the vehicle.

[0003] Therefore, when controlling the opening of the trailer hook of the vehicle, how to prevent the trailer hook from being bumped, which may affect the function of the trailer hook, is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a vehicle control method, device, vehicle and storage medium. When controlling the deployment of a trailer hook of a vehicle, the method sends a first target signal to a target controller so that the vehicle shields the target function corresponding to the target controller, thereby ensuring that the probability of collision of the trailer hook can be reduced, thereby avoiding affecting the function of the trailer hook.

[0005] In a first aspect, a vehicle control method is provided, the method comprising:

[0006] Obtaining a control signal of a trailer hook in a vehicle;

[0007] If the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook, the rear door of the vehicle is controlled to close;

[0008] When it is detected that the back door is in a closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be unfolded, and a first target signal is sent to the target controller; wherein the first target signal is used to indicate shielding of a target function corresponding to the target controller.

[0009] In one implementation, the target function is used to represent a vehicle function that will affect the trailer hook when the trailer hook is in the deployed state.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present application, if the control signal of the trailer hook indicates to open the trailer hook, the back door of the vehicle is controlled to be closed; when the back door is in a closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be unfolded, and a first target signal is sent to the target controller to shield the target function corresponding to the target controller. Since the trailer hook is in a raised state at the rear of the vehicle during the unfolding of the trailer hook, if the back door of the vehicle is in an open state, the back door of the vehicle may be bumped; therefore, when the opening control signal of the trailer hook is detected, the back door is controlled to be closed, and the trailer hook is controlled to be unfolded when the back door is in a closed state to avoid the collision between the trailer hook of the vehicle and the back door of the vehicle. In addition, since when the trailer hook is in an unfolded state, if the target function of the target controller (for example, the tailgate controller or the reversing radar controller of the vehicle) is turned on, the trailer hook of the vehicle may collide with the relevant components of the target controller, resulting in the function of the trailer hook being affected, therefore, the first target signal is sent to the target controller to shield the target function corresponding to the target controller. Ensure that when the trailer hook is turned on, the probability of the trailer hook bumping is reduced, thereby avoiding the function of the trailer hook being affected.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes:

[0012] If the control signal indicates closing the trailer hook and the tailgate is detected to be in a closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be retracted;

[0013] A second target signal is sent to the target controller, wherein the second target signal is used to instruct to enable a target function corresponding to the target controller.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present application, when the control signal indicates to close the trailer hook and the tailgate is detected to be in a closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be retracted; and a second target signal is sent to the target controller to start the target function corresponding to the target controller. Since when the trailer hook is in an extended state, the function of the target controller in the vehicle may affect the function of the trailer hook, and when the trailer hook of the vehicle is in a retracted state, the function of the target controller will no longer affect the function of the trailer hook, nor will it be affected by the function of the trailer hook; therefore, the second target signal is sent to start the target function. Ensure that the target function is turned on when the trailer hook of the vehicle is not affected, so that the target controller can normally achieve its target function.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, obtaining a control signal of a trailer hook in a vehicle includes:

[0016] Detecting the current state of the trailer hook and a third target signal detected by a target sensor in the vehicle; wherein the target sensor is located at the rear of the vehicle;

[0017] Based on the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal, a control signal for the trailer hook is determined.

[0018] In an embodiment of the present application, a control signal of the trailer hook is determined based on the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal detected by the target sensor; compared with the prior art of controlling the trailer hook by clicking a control button on the center console of the vehicle, since in this solution the control signal to the trailer hook is triggered by a target sensor located at the rear of the vehicle, the user does not need to enter the vehicle for operation, or bend over to press a control button; therefore, the control method of the trailer hook in this solution is more convenient and easy for the user to operate.

[0019] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, determining the control signal of the trailer hook based on the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal includes:

[0020] If the current state of the trailer hook is the open state, and the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within the preset time period, determining that the control signal indicates closing the trailer hook;

[0021] If the current state of the trailer hook is the closed state, and the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, it is determined that the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present application, when the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, the control signal for the trailer hook is determined according to the current state of the trailer hook, thereby avoiding erroneous operation of the trailer hook caused by false touching of the target sensor, thereby improving the accuracy of the control signal.

[0023] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the following further includes:

[0024] Acquire the location information of the target user; wherein the target user carries a target device; the target device is used to control the unlocking and locking of the vehicle;

[0025] Based on the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal, a control signal of the trailer hook is determined, including:

[0026] If the target user is located in a preset area behind the vehicle, a control signal for the trailer hook is determined based on a current state of the trailer hook and a third target signal.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, the location information of the target user is obtained, and when the target user is located in a preset area behind the vehicle, the control signal of the trailer hook is determined according to the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal. Since the target user is a user carrying a target device, and the target device is used to control the unlocking and locking of the vehicle; therefore, the target user has control authority over the vehicle. When it is detected that the target user is located in the preset area behind the vehicle, the control signal is determined to ensure that the control signal is a control signal triggered by the target user with control authority, thereby preventing an illegal user from controlling the vehicle; thereby improving the safety of vehicle control.

[0028] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the target controller includes a radar controller and a back door controller of the vehicle;

[0029] Sending a first target signal to a target controller includes:

[0030] A first target signal is sent to the radar controller and the back door controller so that the vehicle shields target functions corresponding to the radar controller and the back door controller.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, since the functions of the radar controller and the back door controller may affect the trailer hook function of the vehicle when the trailer hook is in the unfolded state, and the functions of the radar controller and the back door controller may be affected by the trailer hook function; therefore, the target controller includes the radar controller and the back door controller. When controlling the trailer hook to unfold, a first target signal is sent to the radar controller and the back door controller to shield the target functions corresponding to the radar controller and the back door controller, so as to prevent the functions of the radar controller and the back door controller from affecting the trailer hook function of the vehicle.

[0032] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, after sending the first target signal to the target controller, the method further includes:

[0033] If a control instruction of the target controller by the target user is detected, a target prompt message is sent; wherein the target prompt message is used to prompt that there is a risk of collision of the vehicle if the target function of the target controller is turned on.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, if a first target signal is sent to the target controller and the target function of the target controller is shielded, the target user's control instructions on the target controller are detected; it means that the user is not aware that the current target function of the target controller is in a shielded state; therefore, a target prompt message is sent to enable the user to promptly perceive that the current target function is in a shielded state. If the target function is forcibly turned on, the vehicle will be at risk of collision, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] The trailer hook is an essential component for off-road vehicles. In the prior art, if a vehicle is equipped with an electric trailer hook, the user needs to control the opening or closing of the trailer hook through the trailer hook switch when using the trailer hook. For example, the user controls the opening or closing of the vehicle's trailer hook by clicking a control button near the trunk or on the center console of the vehicle. When the deployment button is pressed, the electric trailer hook automatically extends from the bumper and locks in place; when the retraction button is pressed, the electric trailer hook automatically retracts to a hidden position.

[0058] For example, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the scene 100 includes a vehicle 110 ; the vehicle 110 includes a vehicle back door (or a tailgate of the vehicle) 120 , an electric trailer hook 130 , and a vehicle kick sensor 140 .

[0060] It should be noted that, for the convenience of description, the "electric trailer hook" will be expressed as "trailer hook" below. It should be understood that the electric trailer hook and the trailer hook in this application have the same meaning.

[0061] For example, when the trailer hook of the vehicle is deployed, Figure 1As shown in 130 in the figure; when the trailer hook is retracted, the trailer hook is hidden in the bumper of the vehicle. Since the trailer hook is usually located on the frame at the rear of the vehicle, when the trailer hook of the vehicle is opened, the trailer hook is in a raised state on the frame at the rear of the vehicle; if a trailer is connected to the trailer hook of the vehicle and the back door 120 of the vehicle is in an open state, the back door of the vehicle may collide with the trailer, and the back door may also collide with the trailer hook. If the trailer hook of the vehicle is not connected to the trailer, but the trailer hook of the vehicle is in an extended state (for example, the user forgets to retract the trailer hook), when the vehicle is reversing, the trailer hook may collide with other obstacles, causing damage to the trailer hook.

[0062] It can be seen that when the trailer hook of the vehicle is turned on, the function of the target controller in the vehicle (including the tailgate controller and the reversing radar controller of the vehicle) may affect the function of the trailer hook. If the function of the target controller is turned on, the trailer hook of the vehicle may be easily bumped. Therefore, when controlling the trailer hook of the vehicle to be turned on, how to avoid bumping the trailer hook and affecting the function of the trailer hook is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0063] In view of this, the present application provides a vehicle control method, device, vehicle and storage medium. Through the embodiments of the present application, when controlling the vehicle's trailer hook to unfold, a first target signal is sent to the target controller so that the vehicle shields the target function corresponding to the target controller, ensuring that the function of the vehicle's target controller will not affect the function of the trailer hook; ensuring that the probability of collision of the trailer hook can be reduced, thereby avoiding affecting the function of the trailer hook.

[0064] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a framework of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0065] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the framework diagram 200 includes a trailer control module, a kick sensor, a body controller, a smart key, an electric trailer hook, a reversing radar system and a power lift-gate (PLG) controller.

[0066] Among them, the trailer control module is used to send out trailer hook deployment and retraction signals to control the deployment and retraction of the electric trailer hook; the kick sensor is used to detect the kick signal and send the detected signal to the trailer control module; the body controller is used to determine the position of the smart key and send the signal to the trailer control module; the smart key is used to determine the position of the smart key and send the signal to the trailer control module; the electric trailer hook is used to receive the control signal of the trailer control module and execute the control signal; the reversing radar system is used to receive the signal of the trailer control module and respond to the signal of the trailer control module to shield or turn on the reversing radar function; the PLG controller is used to receive the signal of the trailer control module and respond to the signal of the trailer control module to shield or turn on the control function of the electric tailgate.

[0067] It should be noted that the PLG controller is used to control the opening or closing of the vehicle's electric tailgate (electric rear door); for example, the vehicle's electronic control unit receives instructions from the body control system and communicates indirectly with the keyless entry system; the command signals of the vehicle's tailgate opening key, vehicle's smart car key and other operations are transmitted to the body control module through the controller area network (Controller Area Network, CAN) bus, and then the signal is sent to the PLG controller through the local area interconnect network (Local Interconnect Network, LIN) bus, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the electric tailgate.

[0068] Figure 3 It is a schematic flow chart of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0069] For example, Figure 3 The method 300 shown may be performed by Figure 1 The vehicle 110 is shown as executing; or may be executed by a trailer control module of the vehicle; or may be executed by a processor or chip in the vehicle.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle control method 300 includes S310 to S330, and S310 to S330 are described in detail below.

[0071] S310, obtaining a control signal of a trailer hook in the vehicle.

[0072] Among them, the control signal of the trailer hook includes a control signal for opening the trailer hook and a control signal for closing the trailer hook; the method for obtaining the control signal of the trailer hook in the vehicle is further explained below.

[0073] In one implementation, obtaining a control signal of a trailer hook in a vehicle includes:

[0074] Detecting a current state of the trailer hook and a third target signal detected by a target sensor of the vehicle; and determining a control signal of the trailer hook based on the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal.

[0075] Exemplarily, the target sensors include but are not limited to the vehicle's kick sensor, infrared sensor and proximity sensor; wherein the kick sensor is used to detect the user's kick signal, the infrared sensor is used to detect whether the user is in the detection area of ​​the infrared sensor through infrared rays, and the proximity sensor triggers the corresponding operation by detecting the distance of the approaching object.

[0076] Exemplarily, the target sensor is located at the rear of the vehicle; for example, the target sensor can be located at the center below the rear bumper, or at both sides of the rear bumper of the vehicle, or at the bottom of the trunk or near the trunk. The target sensor located at the rear of the vehicle triggers the control signal of the trailer hook, so that the user does not need to enter the vehicle for control, or bend over to press the control button; the control method is more convenient and easy for users to operate.

[0077] Exemplarily, if the current state of the trailer hook is the open state, and the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, it is determined that the control signal indicates to close the trailer hook; if the current state of the trailer hook is the closed state, and the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, it is determined that the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook.

[0078] For example, if the target sensor is a kick sensor (such as Figure 1 140 in the figure), the vehicle can determine the control signal of the trailer hook by detecting the third control signal of the kick sensor and the current state of the trailer hook. The third control signal of the kick sensor is used to trigger the control of the trailer hook; that is, the third control signal is used to trigger the change of the state of the trailer hook. If the current state of the trailer hook is the open state (or the unfolded state), and the kick sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time length, the state of the trailer hook is triggered to change to the closed state; if the trailer hook is currently in the unfolded state, then in response to the control signal to the trailer hook, the trailer hook is controlled to be retracted; if the trailer hook is currently in the unfolding process, the unfolding is stopped and the trailer hook is controlled to be retracted.

[0079] If the trailer hook is currently in a closed state (or a retracted state), and the kick sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, the state of the trailer hook is triggered to change to an open state; if the trailer hook is currently in a closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be deployed in response to the control signal to the trailer hook; if the trailer hook is currently in the process of being retracted, the retraction is stopped and deployed from the current position.

[0080] For example, if the current state of the trailer hook is the open state, and the kick sensor detects the third target signal three times within 2s, it is determined that the control signal indicates to close the trailer hook; if the current state of the trailer hook is the closed state, and the kick sensor detects the third target signal three times within 2s, it is determined that the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook.

[0081] It should be understood that when the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, the control signal for the trailer hook is determined according to the current state of the trailer hook, thereby avoiding erroneous operation of the trailer hook caused by accidental touching of the target sensor, thereby improving the accuracy of the control signal.

[0082] For example, if there is an obstacle near the target sensor, the obstacle may accidentally touch the target sensor, which may cause misoperation of the trailer hook. Since the present application triggers control of the trailer hook when a preset number of target signals are detected within a preset time period, misoperation of the trailer hook can be effectively avoided due to accidental touch.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the control signal of the trailer hook is determined based on the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal detected by the target sensor. Since the control signal of the trailer hook is triggered by the target sensor, compared with the prior art of controlling the trailer hook by clicking a control button on the center console of the vehicle, since the control signal of the trailer hook is triggered by the target sensor located at the rear of the vehicle, the user does not need to enter the vehicle for control, or bend over to press the control button, the control method is more convenient and easy for the user to operate.

[0084] Optionally, the kick sensor in the present application can be used to control both the back door and the trailer hook of the vehicle.

[0085] Specifically, the kick sensor is used to control the opening and closing of the vehicle's tailgate; for example, waving your foot under the rear bumper triggers the kick sensor, the PLG controller starts the motor, and the tailgate automatically rises to the fully open position; waving your foot under the rear bumper again triggers the kick sensor, the PLG controller starts the motor, and the tailgate automatically descends to the fully closed position and locks. At the same time, the trailer hook can be controlled by reusing the kick sensor signal, which can effectively reduce the user's operating steps and vehicle costs, that is, there is no need to add a new detection device to control the trailer hook; instead, the existing kick sensor in the vehicle is used for detection, and the trailer hook is controlled by reusing the kick sensor signal.

[0086] For example, when the third target signal of the kick sensor is detected twice within 2 seconds, it is determined that the third target signal is used to control the opening or closing of the vehicle's back door, and the control command for the back door is determined according to the current state of the back door. If the third target signal of the kick sensor is detected three times within 2 seconds, it is determined that the third target signal is used to control the opening or closing of the vehicle's trailer hook, and the control signal of the trailer hook is determined in combination with the current state of the trailer hook.

[0087] It should be noted that the above is an example of the control method of the kick sensor; this application does not limit this.

[0088] Optionally, the present application can also trigger a control signal to the vehicle trailer hook through a control button near the trunk of the vehicle or on the center console; or use any triggering method in the prior art to trigger a control signal to the trailer hook.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, since the control of the trailer hook can be triggered by a kick sensor, the control signal of the trailer hook can also be triggered by any method in the prior art, making the method of triggering the trailer hook control signal more diversified, making it convenient for the user to choose a suitable operation method to trigger the control signal of the trailer hook.

[0090] In one implementation, location information of a target user is obtained; wherein the target user carries a target device; the target device is used to control unlocking and locking of the vehicle; if the target user is located in a preset area behind the vehicle, a control signal of the trailer hook is determined based on the current state of the trailer hook and a third target signal.

[0091] Among them, the target device is used to control the unlocking or locking of the vehicle; for example, the target device can be a smart key of the vehicle, or the target device can be a smart terminal device used to control the unlocking or locking of the vehicle, including smart bracelets, smart watches, mobile phones and other terminal devices.

[0092] Exemplarily, the preset area behind the vehicle refers to the preset area behind the rear of the vehicle; for example, the preset area behind the vehicle is a preset area extending x meters backward from the rear bumper of the vehicle and extending to y meters outside the width of the vehicle on both sides.

[0093] Exemplarily, since the target sensor is located at the rear of the vehicle, if the target user is located in the preset area behind the vehicle, it indicates that the third target signal may be a signal triggered by the target user. For example, if the target sensor located at the rear of the vehicle is taken as the center of the circle and 2m is taken as the radius, the preset area behind the rear of the vehicle is determined. If the target user is detected to be in the area and the target sensor detects the third target signal, it indicates that the third target signal is a control signal triggered by the target user, and then the control signal of the trailer hook is determined according to the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal.

[0094] It should be noted that the above is an example of a preset area; this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the location information of the target user is obtained, and when the target user is located in a preset area behind the vehicle, the control signal of the trailer hook is determined according to the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal. Since the target user is a user carrying a target device, and the target device is used to control the unlocking and locking of the vehicle; therefore, the target user has control authority over the vehicle. When it is detected that the target user is located in the preset area behind the vehicle, the control signal is determined to be a control signal for the trailer hook triggered by the target user; thus, illegal users are prevented from controlling the trailer hook of the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of vehicle control.

[0096] S320: If the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook, the rear door of the vehicle is controlled to be closed.

[0097] Exemplarily, if the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook, the PLG controller of the vehicle controls the tailgate of the vehicle to be closed.

[0098] Optionally, if the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook, the state of the vehicle's back door is obtained; if the back door is in the open state, the vehicle's back door is controlled to be closed; when the back door is in the closed state, the control operation corresponding to the control signal is executed. If the back door is in the closed state, the control operation corresponding to the control signal can be directly executed.

[0099] It should be noted that, since the trailer hook of the vehicle is located on the frame at the rear of the vehicle (the rear of the vehicle), when the trailer hook is opened, the trailer hook is in a raised state on the frame at the rear of the vehicle. If a trailer is connected to the trailer hook of the vehicle and the rear door of the vehicle is open, the rear door of the vehicle may collide with the trailer behind, and the rear door may also collide with the trailer hook. Therefore, when the control instruction indicates to open the trailer hook, the rear door of the vehicle is controlled to close to avoid collision between the trailer hook or the rear door of the vehicle, resulting in damage to the trailer hook or the rear door.

[0100] S330, when it is detected that the back door is in a closed state, controlling the trailer hook to unfold, and sending a first target signal to a target controller.

[0101] Among them, the first target signal is used to indicate the target function corresponding to the shielding target controller; the target function is used to indicate the function that will affect the trailer hook function of the vehicle when the trailer hook is in the unfolded state, or the function that will be affected by the trailer hook function when the trailer hook is in the unfolded state.

[0102] Exemplarily, the state of the tailgate is detected in real time by the PLG controller. When it is detected that the tailgate is in a closed state, the trailer hook of the vehicle is controlled to be deployed, and a first target signal is sent to the target controller, and the function of the target controller is shielded by the first target signal.

[0103] In one implementation, the target controller includes a radar controller and a back door controller.

[0104] Specifically, sending the first target signal to the target controller includes: sending the first target signal to a radar controller and a rear door controller of the vehicle, so that the vehicle shields target functions corresponding to the radar controller and the rear door controller.

[0105] For example, since the vehicle's back door controller (PLG controller) is used to control the vehicle's back door; when the vehicle's trailer hook is deployed, if the back door is in an open state, if the user mistakenly opens the back door, it may cause the back door to collide with the trailer hook, or the back door to collide with the trailer connected to the trailer hook. Therefore, it is necessary to shield the corresponding function of the back door controller to avoid the back door from colliding with the trailer hook during the deployment of the vehicle's trailer hook.

[0106] Exemplarily, the vehicle's radar controller includes a controller in a reversing radar system; since the trailer hook of the vehicle is in a raised state at the rear of the vehicle when it is deployed, reversing the vehicle may cause the trailer hook of the vehicle to collide. Secondly, since a trailer is usually connected to the trailer hook of the vehicle when the trailer hook of the vehicle is deployed; if the reversing radar function is activated after the vehicle is engaged in reverse gear, the distance between the vehicle and the rear trailer is within the radar detection range, which triggers a radar alarm. Therefore, in order to avoid the mutual influence between the function of the vehicle's radar controller and the function of the vehicle's trailer hook, the function of the radar controller is shielded when controlling the deployment of the trailer hook.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, since when the trailer hook is in the deployed state, the functions of the radar controller and the back door controller will affect the trailer hook function of the vehicle, and the functions of the radar controller and the back door controller may be affected by the trailer hook function; therefore, the target controller includes the radar controller and the back door controller. When controlling the deployment of the trailer hook, a first target signal is sent to the radar controller and the back door controller to shield the target functions corresponding to the radar controller and the back door controller, so as to prevent the functions of the radar controller and the back door controller from affecting the trailer hook function of the vehicle.

[0108] In a possible implementation, after sending the first target signal to the target controller, it also includes: if a control instruction of the target controller by the target user is detected, sending a target prompt information; wherein the target prompt information is used to prompt that there is a risk of collision for the vehicle if the target function of the target controller is turned on.

[0109] For example, if a first target signal is sent to a target controller, after the target function of the target controller is shielded, the target user's control instruction to the target controller is detected, indicating that the user may not be aware that the target function of the current target controller is in a shielded state. Therefore, a target prompt message is sent so that the user can promptly notice that the current target function is in a shielded state. If the target function is forcibly turned on, the vehicle may be at risk of collision, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle. For example, the target prompt message may be "To avoid damage to the vehicle trailer hook, this function is currently shielded, please do not turn on this function."

[0110] It should be noted that the prompt form of the target prompt information includes but is not limited to text prompt, voice prompt, etc.; this application does not specifically limit the prompt form of the prompt information.

[0111] In one implementation, the method further includes: if the control signal indicates closing the trailer hook and the tailgate is detected to be in a closed state, controlling the trailer hook to be retracted; sending a second target signal to the target controller; wherein the second target signal is used to indicate turning on a target function corresponding to the target controller.

[0112] Exemplarily, when the control signal indicates closing the trailer hook and the tailgate is detected to be in a closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be retracted; and a second target signal is sent to the target controller to start the target function corresponding to the target controller. Since when the trailer hook is in an extended state, the function of the target controller in the vehicle may affect the function of the trailer hook, and when the trailer hook of the vehicle is in a retracted state, the function of the target controller will no longer affect the function of the trailer hook, nor will it be affected by the function of the trailer hook; therefore, the second target signal is sent to start the target function. Ensure that the target function is turned on when the trailer hook of the vehicle is not affected, so that the target controller can normally achieve the target function.

[0113] In the above embodiment, if the control signal of the trailer hook indicates to open the trailer hook, the back door of the vehicle is controlled to be closed; when the back door is in the closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be unfolded, and a first target signal is sent to the target controller to shield the target function corresponding to the target controller. Since the trailer hook is in a raised state at the rear of the vehicle during the unfolding of the trailer hook, if the back door of the vehicle is in the open state, it may cause the back door of the vehicle to collide; therefore, when the opening control signal of the trailer hook is detected, the back door is controlled to be closed, and the trailer hook is controlled to be unfolded when the back door is in the closed state to avoid the collision between the trailer hook of the vehicle and the back door of the vehicle. In addition, since when the trailer hook is in the unfolded state, if the target function of the target controller (for example, the tailgate controller or the reversing radar controller of the vehicle) is turned on, it may cause the trailer hook of the vehicle to collide with the relevant components of the target controller, resulting in the function of the trailer hook being affected, therefore, the first target signal is sent to the target controller to shield the target function corresponding to the target controller. Ensure that when the trailer hook is turned on, the probability of the trailer hook being bumped is reduced, thereby avoiding the function of the trailer hook being affected.

[0114] Figure 4 It is a schematic flow chart of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0115] Figure 4 The method 400 shown may be performed by Figure 1 The vehicle 110 is shown as executing; or may be executed by a trailer control module of the vehicle; or may be executed by a processor or chip in the vehicle.

[0116] like Figure 4 The vehicle control method 400 shown includes S401 to S409, which are described in detail below.

[0117] S401, obtaining location information of a target user.

[0118] Exemplarily, the target user is a user carrying a target device, and the target device is used to control the unlocking and locking of the vehicle.

[0119] Optionally, the vehicle may obtain the location information of the target user through a camera located on the top or rear of the vehicle; or the vehicle may determine the location of the target user carrying the target device by determining the location of the target device. For example, if the target device is a smart key of the vehicle, the vehicle may determine the location of the target user by determining the location of the smart key.

[0120] For example, the method of determining the location information is described by taking the target device as a smart key as an example. Since the smart key of a vehicle is usually equipped with low-power Bluetooth technology, it can communicate with the vehicle over a short distance; when the key is close to the vehicle, the vehicle can determine the location of the key through the Bluetooth signal strength; or the smart key of the vehicle can use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, when the smart key is close to the vehicle, the vehicle can detect the presence of the smart key and locate the smart key.

[0121] S402: If the target user is located in a preset area behind the vehicle, determine the current state of the trailer hook.

[0122] Exemplarily, the current state of the trailer hook includes the trailer hook being in an open state (deployed state), or the trailer hook being in a closed state (retracted state); the trailer control module of the vehicle monitors the trailer hook and determines the current state of the trailer hook in real time.

[0123] S403: Acquire a third target signal detected by the target sensor.

[0124] Exemplarily, a third target signal detected by a target sensor is obtained; wherein the target sensor is located at the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with at least one target sensor; the present application does not limit the number of target sensors.

[0125] S404, determining a control signal of the trailer hook according to the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal.

[0126] Exemplarily, if the current state of the trailer hook is the open state, and the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, it is determined that the control signal indicates to close the trailer hook; if the current state of the trailer hook is the closed state, and the target sensor detects the third target signal a preset number of times within a preset time period, it is determined that the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook.

[0127] Optionally, the implementation of S401 to S404 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant description of S310 is not repeated here.

[0128] S405: If the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook, the back door is controlled to close.

[0129] Exemplarily, if the control signal indicates to open the trailer hook, a signal is sent to the back door controller or the tail gate controller so that the back door controller or the tail gate controller controls the back door of the vehicle to close.

[0130] It should be noted that the above-mentioned control of closing the back door can be understood as controlling the back door of the vehicle to be in a closed state. If the back door is currently in an open state, the back door is controlled to be closed. If the back door is currently in a closed state, the back door of the vehicle is controlled to remain in a closed state.

[0131] S406, controlling the trailer hook to unfold, and sending a first target signal to the target controller.

[0132] Exemplarily, after controlling the tailgate to close, the trailer hook is controlled to unfold to avoid the tailgate from colliding with the trailer hook, and to avoid the tailgate from colliding with the trailer connected to the trailer hook; and a first target signal is sent to the target controller to shield the target function of the target controller through the first target signal; wherein the target controller may include the vehicle's PLG controller and the vehicle's reversing radar controller.

[0133] Optionally, the implementation of S406 can refer to Figure 3 The relevant description of S330 is not repeated here.

[0134] S407: If a control instruction to the target controller is detected, target prompt information is sent.

[0135] Exemplarily, since the first target signal is used to shield the target function of the target controller; if the target user's control instructions to the target controller are detected after the target function of the target controller is shielded, it means that the target user may not be aware that the target function of the current target controller is in a shielded state; therefore, the target prompt information is sent to enable the target user to promptly perceive that the current target function is in a shielded state. If the target function is forcibly turned on, it will cause a collision risk to the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0136] Optionally, the target prompt information may be in the form of: sending a message to a user terminal, displaying prompt information on a central control screen of a vehicle, or light prompts, sound prompts, etc.

[0137] S408: If the control signal indicates to close the trailer hook, the back door status is detected.

[0138] For example, if the control signal indicates closing the trailer hook, the state of the back door is detected to ensure that the trailer hook of the vehicle can be controlled according to the state of the back door. If the back door is in the open state, the back door of the vehicle is controlled to be closed first, and the trailer hook is controlled to be retracted after the back door of the vehicle is closed. If the back door is in the closed state, the trailer hook is controlled to be retracted.

[0139] S409, if the tailgate is in the closed state, control the trailer hook to be retracted, and send a second target signal to the target controller.

[0140] For example, when the trailer hook is in the extended state, the function of the target controller in the vehicle may affect the function of the trailer hook, while when the trailer hook of the vehicle is in the retracted state, the function of the target controller will no longer affect the function of the trailer hook, nor will it be affected by the function of the trailer hook; therefore, the second target signal is sent to start the target function, ensuring that the target controller can achieve the target function without affecting the target function.

[0141] In one example, in implementing the above Figure 4 When implementing the control method, it is necessary to first determine whether the vehicle meets the prerequisites for implementing the control method; wherein the prerequisites include: the vehicle is equipped with a trailer hook, and the rear door has an electric opening and closing function.

[0142] In the embodiment of the present application, the control signal of the trailer hook is determined based on the current state of the trailer hook and the third target signal detected by the target sensor; the user does not need to enter the vehicle for control, or bend over to press the control button, and the control method is more convenient and easy for the user to operate; further, the tailgate is controlled to be closed, and the trailer hook is controlled to be unfolded when the tailgate is closed to avoid the collision between the trailer hook of the vehicle and the tailgate of the vehicle. A first target signal is sent to the target controller to shield the target function corresponding to the target controller, thereby avoiding the target function from affecting the function of the trailer hook of the vehicle.

[0143] Figure 5 It is a schematic flow chart of another vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0144] like Figure 5 The vehicle control method 500 shown includes S501 to S507, which are described in detail below.

[0145] S501, system starts.

[0146] Exemplarily, system startup can be understood as the vehicle being in a powered-on state, or can be understood as the vehicle's power mode being in the ON position.

[0147] S502: The vehicle body controller obtains the location of the smart key and sends a location signal.

[0148] Exemplarily, the vehicle body controller may obtain the location of the smart key through the Bluetooth signal strength; or may obtain the location of the Bluetooth key through radio frequency identification technology or near field communication technology, and send a location signal, which is used to indicate the location of the smart key.

[0149] Exemplarily, the vehicle body controller generates a position signal and transmits the position signal to the trailer control module.

[0150] Optionally, the implementation of S502 can refer to Figure 4 The relevant description of S401 is not repeated here.

[0151] S503, the kick sensor detects a kick signal and sends a kick signal.

[0152] Exemplarily, the kick sensor is located at the rear of the vehicle, and when the kick sensor detects a kick operation, a kick signal is issued.

[0153] Exemplarily, the kick sensor generates a kick signal and sends the kick signal to the trailer control module.

[0154] S504, the smart key determines the target position and sends a target signal.

[0155] Exemplarily, the smart key determines a target position of the smart key and sends a target signal.

[0156] Exemplarily, the smart key sends a target signal, and transmits the target signal to the trailer control module.

[0157] S505, the trailer control module determines a control instruction for the trailer hook according to the position signal, the kick signal and the target signal.

[0158] Exemplarily, the trailer control module determines a control instruction for the trailer hook according to the received position signal, kick signal and target signal.

[0159] Specifically, if the position signal and the target signal indicate that the smart key is at the rear door position of the vehicle, and the kick sensor is triggered 3 times within 2S, the trailer hook switch is triggered from off to on, and it is determined that the control instruction indicates to open the trailer hook. If the position signal and the target signal indicate that the smart key is at the rear door position of the vehicle, and the trailer controller detects that the kick sensor is triggered 3 times within 2S, the trailer hook switch is triggered from on to off, and it is determined that the control instruction indicates to close the trailer hook.

[0160] Optionally, the trailer control module can also obtain the status information of the tailgate; if the position signal and the target signal indicate that the smart key is at the tailgate position of the vehicle, the tailgate is in the closed state, and the kick sensor is detected to be triggered 3 times within 2 seconds, the control command for the trailer hook is determined.

[0161] S506, the trailer control module sends a control instruction to the trailer hook to open or close the trailer hook.

[0162] Exemplarily, the trailer control module sends a control instruction to the trailer hook; if the control instruction instructs to open the trailer hook, the trailer hook is controlled to open; if the control instruction instructs to close the trailer hook, the trailer hook is controlled to close.

[0163] S507, the trailer control module sends a control signal to the reversing radar system and the PLG controller to shield or enable the functions of the reversing radar system and the PLG controller.

[0164] Exemplarily, when the trailer control module sends the control command to the trailer hook, the control signal is sent to the reversing radar system and the PLG controller to shield or enable the functions of the reversing radar system and the PLG controller.

[0165] Specifically, if the control instruction indicates to turn on the trailer hook, the control signal is used to shield the functions of the reversing radar system and the PLG controller, so as to prevent the functions of the reversing radar system and the PLG controller from affecting the functions of the trailer hook of the vehicle. If the control instruction indicates to turn off the trailer hook, the control signal is used to turn on the functions of the reversing radar system and the PLG controller, so as to ensure that the functions of the reversing radar system and the PLG controller are turned on without affecting the functions of the trailer hook of the vehicle.
