[0048] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a heating control method of a steering wheel provided by an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 , the present application provides a heating control system of a steering wheel, which comprises a steering wheel module 110, a gateway 120, an air conditioning module 130 and a central control screen 140.

[0051] The steering wheel module 110 comprises a steering wheel, a heater, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The steering wheel is provided with a hand holding area, which is a placing area of the driver's hand during driving, and is usually located on the left and right sides of the steering wheel. Heating the hand holding area can improve the driving experience of the driver and improve the comfort of driving. The heater is used to heat the hand holding area in the steering wheel. The temperature sensor is used to collect the temperature of the hand holding area in the steering wheel in real time. The humidity sensor is used to collect the humidity of the hand holding area in the steering wheel in real time. The steering wheel module 110 can determine whether to stop heating the steering wheel based on the collected temperature and humidity.

[0052] The gateway 120 is used to forward data between the steering wheel module 110, the air conditioning module 130 and the central control screen 140. The gateway 120 communicates with the steering wheel module 110 and the central control screen 140 through a first Controller Area Network (CAN) bus (i.e. CAN1 in Figure 1 ), and communicates with the air conditioning module 130 through a second CAN bus (i.e. CAN2 in Figure 1 ).

[0053] The air conditioning module 130 is used to blow the steering wheel to dry the driver's hand sweat when the driver's hand sweat is caused by heating the steering wheel.

[0054] The central control screen 140 is used to configure the opening and closing of the steering wheel heating function, and is also used to configure the blowing function of the air conditioning module 130.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 , a method flowchart of a heating control method of a steering wheel is shown, which can be applied to the heating control system shown in Figure 1 . The heating control method of the steering wheel can comprise:

[0056] Step 201, the gateway acquires the configuration information of the steering wheel, and determines whether to start the steering wheel heating function according to the configuration information.

[0057] The steering wheel heating function refers to heating the hand-holding area in the steering wheel so that the driver will not feel cold when holding the steering wheel and improve the driving comfort.

[0058] The vehicle is provided with an operation button of the steering wheel heating function, which can be a physical button or a virtual button on the central control screen. When the user clicks the operation button, the gateway can obtain configuration information generated according to the clicking behavior, and determine whether to start or stop the steering wheel heating function according to the value of the configuration information. For example, 0 represents starting the steering wheel heating function, and 1 represents stopping the steering wheel heating function. If the value of the configuration information obtained by the gateway is 0, it is determined to start the steering wheel heating function; if the value of the configuration information obtained by the gateway is 1, it is determined to stop the steering wheel heating function.

[0059] Of course, in addition to the manual method, the steering wheel heating function can also be started or stopped through voice, gesture and other methods, and the configuration method is not limited in the embodiment.

[0060] In step 202, if it is determined to start the steering wheel heating function, the gateway sends a heating instruction to the steering wheel module, and the heating instruction at least includes a target temperature and a first target humidity.

[0061] In the embodiment, the steering wheel has two trigger conditions for stopping heating. The first trigger condition is that the surface temperature of the hand-holding area in the steering wheel reaches the target temperature, and the second trigger condition is that the surface temperature of the hand-holding area in the steering wheel does not reach the target temperature, but the surface humidity reaches the first target humidity. Here, the humidity is measured after the driver's hand sweat wets the steering wheel.

[0062] The configuration information obtained by the gateway includes the target temperature and the first target humidity, and the gateway can generate a heating instruction carrying the target temperature and the first target humidity. The target temperature and the first target humidity can be default or set according to the individual needs of the driver, and are not limited in the embodiment.

[0063] In step 203, the steering wheel module controls the heater to heat the steering wheel according to the heating instruction, controls the temperature sensor to collect the current temperature of the hand-holding area in the steering wheel in real time, and controls the humidity sensor to collect the current humidity of the hand-holding area in the steering wheel in real time. The current humidity is collected when the driver's hand sweat wets the steering wheel after heating.

[0064] The steering wheel module obtains the current temperature collected by the temperature sensor in real time and the current humidity collected by the humidity sensor in real time, reads the target temperature and the first target humidity from the heating instruction, and judges whether the trigger condition for stopping heating is met according to the current temperature, the current humidity, the target temperature and the first target humidity.

[0065] Specifically, the steering wheel module compares the current temperature with the target temperature, compares the current humidity with the first target humidity, if the current temperature does not reach the target temperature, and the current humidity does not reach the first target humidity, continue to heat; if the current temperature does not reach the target temperature, but the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, stop heating, that is, execute step 204; if the current temperature reaches the target temperature, whether the current humidity reaches the first target humidity or not, stop heating.

[0066] Step 204, if the current temperature does not reach the target temperature, and the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, the steering wheel module controls the heater to stop heating the steering wheel.

[0067] In summary, the heating control method of the steering wheel provided by the embodiment of the application, in the process of controlling the heater to heat the steering wheel according to the heating instruction, the current temperature of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel is collected by the temperature sensor in real time, the current humidity of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel is collected by the humidity sensor in real time, if the current temperature does not reach the target temperature, but the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, it indicates that the driver's hand sweat has wetted the steering wheel, at this time, the hand holding the steering wheel will not feel cold, and there is no need to continue to heat the steering wheel, which can not only save resources, but also avoid safety accidents and improve the safety of driving.

[0068] As shown in Figure 3 , it shows a flow chart of the heating control method of the steering wheel provided by an embodiment of the application, which can be applied to the heating control system shown in Figure 1 . The heating control method of the steering wheel can include:

[0069] Step 301, the gateway obtains the configuration information of the steering wheel, and determines whether to start the steering wheel heating function according to the configuration information.

[0070] The steering wheel heating function refers to heating the hand-holding area of the steering wheel to make the driver not feel cold when holding the steering wheel, and improve the comfort of driving.

[0071] The operation button of the steering wheel heating function is provided in the vehicle, which can be a physical button or a virtual button on the central control screen.

[0072] Taking the steering wheel heating function item provided on the central control screen as an example, the central control screen receives the start operation of the driver on the steering wheel heating function item, generates configuration information for indicating starting the steering wheel heating function according to the start operation, and sends the configuration information to the gateway; the gateway receives the configuration information sent by the central control screen.

[0073] For example, 0 represents turning on the steering wheel heating function, and 1 represents turning off the steering wheel heating function. When the driver triggers the turning-on operation of the steering wheel heating function, the central control screen generates configuration information with a value of 0, and sends the configuration information to the gateway through the first CAN bus. The gateway receives the configuration information through the first CAN bus.

[0074] In step 302, if it is determined to turn on the steering wheel heating function, the gateway sends a heating instruction to the steering wheel module, and the heating instruction at least includes a target temperature and a first target humidity.

[0075] If the value of the configuration information obtained by the gateway is 0, it is determined to turn on the steering wheel heating function.

[0076] In this embodiment, the steering wheel has two trigger conditions for stopping heating. The first trigger condition is that the surface temperature of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel reaches the target temperature. The second trigger condition is that the surface temperature of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel does not reach the target temperature, but the surface humidity reaches the first target humidity. Here, the humidity is the humidity measured after the driver's hand sweat wets the steering wheel.

[0077] The configuration information obtained by the gateway includes the target temperature and the first target humidity. The gateway can generate a heating instruction carrying the target temperature and the first target humidity, and send the heating instruction to the steering wheel module through the first CAN bus. The target temperature and the first target humidity can be default or set according to the personalized needs of the driver, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0078] In step 303, the steering wheel module controls the heater to heat the steering wheel according to the heating instruction, controls the temperature sensor to collect the current temperature of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel in real time, and controls the humidity sensor to collect the current humidity of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel in real time. The current humidity is the humidity collected when the driver's hand sweat wets the steering wheel after heating.

[0079] The steering wheel module obtains the current temperature collected by the temperature sensor in real time and the current humidity collected by the humidity sensor in real time, reads the target temperature and the first target humidity from the heating instruction, and judges whether the trigger condition for stopping heating is met according to the current temperature, the current humidity, the target temperature and the first target humidity.

[0080] Specifically, the steering wheel module compares the current temperature with the target temperature and compares the current humidity with the first target humidity. If the current temperature does not reach the target temperature and the current humidity does not reach the first target humidity, heating continues. If the current temperature does not reach the target temperature, but the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, heating is stopped, that is, step 304 is executed. If the current temperature reaches the target temperature, heating is stopped regardless of whether the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, that is, step 312 is executed.

[0081] If the current temperature does not reach the target temperature and the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, the steering wheel module controls the heater to stop heating the steering wheel.

[0082] Since the driver's hand sweat has already wet the steering wheel, and the hand sweat will cause the driver's hand to slip and cause a safety accident, after it is found that the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, the air conditioning module needs to be controlled to blow air to the steering wheel to dry the driver's hand sweat, that is, steps 305-307 are executed.

[0083] In step 305, the steering wheel module sends a blowing request to the gateway.

[0084] The steering wheel module can send the blowing request to the gateway through the first CAN bus.

[0085] In step 306, the gateway sends a blowing instruction to the air conditioning module according to the blowing request.

[0086] After receiving the blowing request through the first CAN bus, the gateway generates the blowing instruction and sends the blowing instruction to the air conditioning module through the second CAN bus.

[0087] When generating the blowing instruction, the gateway can obtain the preset blowing angle, wind level and cooling temperature, and generate the blowing instruction carrying the blowing angle, wind level and cooling temperature; or the gateway can generate the corresponding blowing instruction according to the preset blowing mode, and the blowing mode is provided with the blowing angle, wind level and cooling temperature. The blowing angle is used to indicate that the air conditioning module blows air to the position of the steering wheel, the wind level is used to indicate the wind size of the air conditioning module blowing air; the cooling temperature is used to indicate the refrigeration temperature of the air conditioning module, and the cooling temperature is usually lower than the target temperature to achieve the purpose of cooling.

[0088] In step 307, the air conditioning module blows air to the hand holding area of the steering wheel according to the blowing instruction.

[0089] Specifically, the air conditioning module blows air to the hand holding area of the steering wheel according to the blowing instruction, which can include:

[0090] (1) When the blowing instruction includes the blowing angle, wind level and cooling temperature, the air conditioning module blows air to the hand holding area of the steering wheel according to the blowing angle, wind level and cooling temperature.

[0091] (2) The air conditioning module determines the blowing mode corresponding to the blowing instruction, obtains the preset blowing angle, wind level and cooling temperature from the blowing mode, and blows air to the hand holding area of the steering wheel according to the blowing angle, wind level and cooling temperature.

[0092] For example, the cooling temperature is 21°, and the wind level is 3 levels, then the air conditioning module blows 21° 3-level wind to the hand holding area of the steering wheel.

[0093] The air conditioning module can time when starting to blow, and stop blowing when the timing duration reaches a predetermined duration. Alternatively, the air conditioning module can monitor the humidity of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel through the steering wheel module, and determine whether to stop blowing according to the humidity, i.e., steps 308-311 are executed.

[0094] In step 308, the steering wheel module controls the humidity sensor to collect the current humidity of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel in real time.

[0095] The steering wheel module can collect the current humidity in real time, compare the current humidity with the second target humidity, and if the current humidity reaches the second target humidity, trigger the air conditioning module to stop blowing, i.e., step 309 is executed. If the current humidity does not reach the second target humidity, the current humidity continues to be monitored.

[0096] In step 309, if the current humidity reaches the second target humidity, the steering wheel module sends a stop blowing request to the gateway, and the second target humidity is less than the first target humidity.

[0097] The steering wheel module sends the stop blowing request to the gateway through the first CAN bus.

[0098] In step 310, the gateway sends a stop blowing instruction to the air conditioning module according to the stop blowing request.

[0099] After receiving the stop blowing request through the first CAN bus, the gateway generates a stop blowing instruction and sends the stop blowing instruction to the air conditioning module through the second CAN bus.

[0100] In step 311, the air conditioning module stops blowing the hand-holding area of the steering wheel according to the stop blowing instruction.

[0101] After receiving the stop blowing instruction through the second CAN bus, the air conditioning module stops blowing the hand-holding area of the steering wheel.

[0102] Optionally, if the air conditioning module is in a working state before the steering wheel is heated, the air conditioning module returns to the original working state after stopping blowing the hand-holding area of the steering wheel.

[0103] In step 312, if the current temperature reaches the target temperature, the steering wheel module controls the heater to stop heating the steering wheel.

[0104] In summary, the heating control method of the steering wheel provided by the embodiment of the present application controls the temperature sensor to collect the current temperature of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel in real time and controls the humidity sensor to collect the current humidity of the hand-holding area of the steering wheel in real time in the process in which the steering wheel module controls the heater to heat the steering wheel according to the heating instruction. If the current temperature does not reach the target temperature, but the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, it indicates that the driver's hand sweat has already wetted the steering wheel, at this time, the hand holding the steering wheel will not feel cold any more, and it is not necessary to continue heating the steering wheel. In this way, resources can be saved, and safety accidents can be avoided, and the safety of driving can be improved.

[0105] When the current humidity reaches the first target humidity, the air conditioning module is controlled to blow air to the steering wheel to dry the driver's hand sweat, and the safety of driving is improved.

[0106] If the current humidity does not reach the first target humidity all the time, heating is continued until the current temperature reaches the target temperature, and heating of the steering wheel is stopped, so that the driver will not feel cold when holding the steering wheel, and the comfort of driving is improved.
