DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0068] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application.

[0069] The vehicle window in the embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of partitions, each of which is configured to be able to independently adjust the light transmittance;

[0070] The vehicle window includes a dimming film, the dimming film includes an ITO conductive layer, and the ITO conductive layer includes a plurality of dimming areas corresponding to the partitions.

[0071] Specifically, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle window capable of performing zone dimming, wherein the area on the vehicle window is divided into multiple zones that can perform independent dimming respectively, and the transmittance of each zone can be controlled and adjusted by matching components, and the above-mentioned transmittance generally includes parameters such as light transmittance and haze.

[0072] In order to achieve the above-mentioned effects, the vehicle window in the embodiment of the present application also includes a dimming film 5 provided with an ITO conductive layer, wherein ITO refers to tin-doped indium oxide. Exemplarily, the dimming film 5 is a dye black PDLC dimming film, wherein PDLC refers to polymer dispersed liquid crystal. The above-mentioned ITO conductive layer is provided with a plurality of dimming areas that can realize a one-to-one correspondence with the partitions on the vehicle window, and each dimming area is responsible for adjusting and controlling the transmittance of the corresponding vehicle window partition. The main function of the ITO conductive layer is to provide an electrical signal transmission channel corresponding to each partition of the vehicle window. It should be noted that the size and number of the above-mentioned dimming areas can be designed in advance, and are formed by performing surface treatment on the original material through laser engraving or other surface treatment processes. In this way, the number of partitions on the vehicle window that can be independently dimmed can be achieved by processing the ITO conductive layer to obtain a corresponding number of dimming areas according to the actual situation of the vehicle window.

[0073] In this way, the vehicle window provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a dimming film with an ITO conductive layer, and the vehicle window is partitioned by multiple dimming areas configured on the ITO conductive layer, thereby realizing zoned dimming control of the vehicle window. In this way, the number of partitions on the vehicle window can be adjusted by the number of dimming areas on the ITO conductive layer, thereby realizing flexible setting of the partitions, thereby improving the user experience of using the vehicle.

[0074] In some embodiments, the dimming film further includes a solid liquid crystal layer, and the solid liquid crystal layer is covered by the ITO conductive layer.

[0075] In some embodiments, the dimming film further includes a PET film layer, and the PEI film layer covers the ITO conductive layer.

[0076] In certain embodiments, the width of a partition is less than or equal to 70 mm.

[0077] In some embodiments, the vehicle window includes a first plate and a second plate, the first plate and the second plate are arranged opposite to each other, and the dimming film is arranged between the first plate and the second plate.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first plate and / or the second plate is a glass plate.

[0079] In some embodiments, the original visible light transmittance of the first plate body and / or the second plate body is less than or equal to 25%.

[0080] In certain embodiments, the vehicle window further includes a protective film, which covers the dimming film.

[0081] In certain embodiments, the vehicle window further includes a filler film, which is disposed around the outer periphery of the dimming film.

[0082] Specifically, in some examples, the outermost surface of the vehicle window is provided with a first plate 1 and a second plate 2, and the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are arranged to form a complete vehicle window body, and there is a space between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 for placing components for dimming. In particular, in some application scenarios, the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are both glass plates. Exemplarily, in order to achieve the privacy function of the vehicle window, the glass used in the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 is privacy glass, including light gray glass or dark gray glass lamp tinted glass, and the visible light transmittance of the original glass used is less than or equal to 25%.

[0083] Based on the above example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 5 shows the cross-sectional structure of the dimming film 5. Figure 2 In the structure shown, the outermost parts are the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 of the window, and a protective film 4 is fixedly arranged inside the first plate 1 and the second plate 2. The protective film 4 covers the dimming film 5 inside, thereby playing the role of the dimming film 5. The dimming film 5 is inside the protective film 4, which is a PET film layer, the ITO conductive layer and the solid liquid crystal layer from the outside to the inside, wherein PET refers to polyethylene terephthalate. The PET film layer is coated outside the ITO conductive layer, and its main function is to protect the ITO conductive layer inside the dimming film 5 for conducting and transmitting signals and the solid liquid crystal layer that actually presents the dimming effect. The solid liquid crystal layer responds to the changes in the electrical signals in each dimming area on the ITO conductive layer to execute the dimming control effect, and finally realizes the zoned dimming of the window.

[0084] Exemplarily, the PET film layer includes two groups of PET sub-films, and the ITO conductive layer includes two groups of ITO sub-conductive layers. Regarding the process of processing the above-mentioned dye black PDLC dimming film according to the partitions of the car window, please refer to the following example: For the ITO conductive layer of the dimming film 5, the laser energy is controlled to pass through one group of PET sub-film layers of the dimming film 5 to act on a group of ITO sub-conductive layers to perform laser engraving. The above-mentioned laser engraving process etches the surface of the group of ITO sub-conductive layers into relatively independent different areas to correspond to the multiple different partitions of the above-mentioned car window, and it is also necessary to pay attention not to etch to another group of ITO sub-conductive layers.

[0085] Furthermore, through the above-mentioned laser processing process, multiple dimming areas are generated in the ITO conductive layer, and each dimming area corresponds to a partition of the car window. In order to make the appearance of the car window more refined, and to make the dimming of each partition cooperate with each other to achieve the stepless adjustment effect of the window partition dimming, it is necessary to limit the width of each partition. The smaller the upper limit of the width of each partition, the finer the partition setting, the finer the overall appearance of the car window, and the smoother the visual effect between the partitions during partition dimming. Therefore, by way of example, the upper limit of the width of each partition of the car window is set to 70mm.

[0086] In certain embodiments, the vehicle window includes a partition line, which is disposed between the first plate and the second plate, and the partition line is configured to divide the vehicle window into a plurality of partitions.

[0087] In certain embodiments, the width of the partition line is less than or equal to 45 μm.

[0088] Specifically, in some examples, the above-mentioned car window is divided into a plurality of partitions with the partition line 6 as the boundary, and the light transmittance of each partition can be controlled and adjusted independently. Specifically, the partition line 6 is set in the space between the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2. In order to ensure the overall appearance of the car window glass, the partition line 6 needs to be as thin as possible so that the user can hardly notice the existence of the partition line 6. Therefore, for example, the line width of the partition line 6 does not exceed 45μm. In addition, for the overall beauty of the car window, the partition line 6 is set to the width of the partition line 6. Figure 1 The direction shown is for reference. A shielding area 3 is provided between the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 on the left and right sides of the vehicle window. The shielding area 3 uses ink as a shielding material. Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematically shows Figure 1 The structure of the AA section is based on Figure 3 It can be seen that the partition line 6 is set at the interface between the dimming film 5 and the protective film 4. In addition, please refer to Figure 3 Since the dimming film 5 is in a liquid crystal state as a whole, the dimming film 5 is relatively brittle in terms of material, and its edge needs to be protected to avoid problems such as cracks or missing corners on the edge of the dimming film 5. Therefore, illustratively, the edge of the dimming film 5 is also provided with a filler film 7. The filler film 7 and the protective film 4 are both made of PVB, that is, polyvinyl butyral.

[0089] In certain embodiments, the vehicle window further comprises a signal receiver, an integrated electrode, and a preset circuit board;

[0090] The integrated electrode is connected to the first side of the dimming film by edge sealing adhesive. The integrated electrode includes sub-electrodes corresponding to each partition of the vehicle window. Each sub-electrode is connected to a signal receiver via a preset circuit board.

[0091] In some embodiments, the vehicle window further includes a common electrode, the common electrode is connected to the second side of the dimming film by edge sealing adhesive, and the common electrode is connected to the signal receiver.

[0092] In certain embodiments, the vehicle window further includes a liquid crystal edge seal, and the liquid crystal edge seal is configured to seal between the common electrode and the dimming film and / or seal between the integrated electrode and the dimming film.

[0093] In some embodiments, each dimming area in the dimming film includes a corresponding film electrode, and the film electrode, the common electrode and the integrated electrode together form a power-on circuit.

[0094] In certain embodiments, the vehicle window further includes a first shielding area, the first shielding area is configured to shield the common electrode, and a width of the first shielding area is greater than or equal to a first preset width threshold.

[0095] In some embodiments, the vehicle window further includes a second shielding area, the second shielding area is configured to shield the integrated electrode, and the width of the second shielding area is greater than or equal to a second preset width threshold, wherein the second preset width threshold is positively correlated with the number of partitions.

[0096] For details, please refer again to Figure 1 The vehicle window also includes a signal receiver 14, a common electrode 9, an integrated electrode 12 and a preset circuit board 11. Figure 1 The current orientation is for reference. The integrated electrode 12 is fixed to the bottom of the dimming film 5 by the edge sealing adhesive through the liquid crystal edge sealing 10. The positional relationship between the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5 and the corresponding liquid crystal edge sealing 10 can be referred to. Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 The common electrode 9 is fixed on the top of the dimming film 5 by the liquid crystal edge seal 10 using the edge seal adhesive. The positional relationship between the common electrode 9, the dimming film 5 and the corresponding liquid crystal edge seal 10 can be referred to. Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 1 Structure of the middle BB section.

[0097] The above-mentioned integrated electrode 12 and common electrode 9 are both connected to the signal receiver 14 of the vehicle window to form a dimming circuit. The above-mentioned signal receiver 14 mainly functions to obtain the partition display signal from the vehicle window dimming system that is set outside and can directly control the dimming of the vehicle window partitions, and based on the signal, use the above-mentioned dimming circuit to perform partition dimming on each partition of the vehicle window. In addition, after the above-mentioned laser engraving process for the dimming film 5, in the ITO conductive layer, a group of processed ITO sub-conductive layers are etched with independent film electrodes for each partition of the vehicle window, and another group of ITO sub-conductive layers together constitute a complete electrode for all partitions of the vehicle window at the same time.

[0098] For some examples, see Figure 1 , the integrated electrode 12 includes a plurality of sub-electrodes, each of which corresponds to a partition of the above-mentioned window. Further exemplary, each sub-electrode is electrically connected to the film electrode corresponding to the partition in the dimming film 5, so that the partition display signal that controls the dimming can be transmitted to the fixed liquid crystal layer in the corresponding partition via the sub-electrode and the above-mentioned ITO sub-conductive layer, thereby realizing the dimming of the partition. In contrast, the common electrode 9 is an electrode that completely corresponds to all partitions on the window. The above-mentioned common electrode 9 is electrically connected to the ITO sub-conductive layer in the dimming film 5 that is not engraved by the laser. In this way, the common electrode 9, the dimming film 5 and the integrated electrode 12 together constitute the above-mentioned dimming circuit.

[0099] Furthermore, each sub-electrode in the integrated electrode 12 is bundled and connected to the above-mentioned signal receiver 14 through a preset circuit board 11. In order to achieve the above-mentioned connection relationship, a plurality of metal traces arranged in parallel are arranged on the preset circuit board 11, and each metal trace corresponds to a sub-electrode in the integrated electrode.

[0100] In particular, in some examples, in order to control the area of ​​the above-mentioned preset circuit board 11 and thereby expand the dimming field of view of the vehicle window as much as possible, the above-mentioned metal routing is arranged in parallel and closely, and the line arrangement of the metal routing is arranged orthogonally, and each time the metal routing changes direction, the turning angle at the turning point is 90 degrees.

[0101] In some examples, the Figure 1From the appearance of the car window shown, it can be seen that the integrated electrode 12 and the preset circuit board 11 cover part of the area below the car window, while the common electrode 9 covers part of the area above the car window. In order to improve the aesthetics of the car window when used, and to ensure the clear boundary of the effective dimming area on the car window, the above-mentioned car window is provided with a first shielding area 31 and a second shielding area 32, wherein the first shielding area 31 is used to shield part of the area covered by the common electrode 9, and the second shielding area 32 is used to shield part of the area covered by the integrated electrode 12 and the preset circuit board 11. Exemplarily, the above-mentioned two groups of shielding areas use ink as the shielding material.

[0102] Furthermore, in order to clearly define the visual range of the effective dimming area on the vehicle window, the width of the first shielding area 31 and the second shielding area 32 needs to be limited. Therefore, for example, for the first shielding area 31, refer to Figure 5 Considering the space covered by the edge-filling film 7, the common electrode 9 and the corresponding liquid crystal sealing edge 10 arranged in conjunction with the dimming film 5, illustratively, the width Wg of the first shielding area 31 should be greater than or equal to 28 mm.

[0103] In addition, for the second shielding area 32, please refer to Figure 1 ,according to Figure 1 It can be seen that when the number of partitions of the vehicle window increases, the number of sub-electrodes required to be set in the integrated electrode 12 will increase, which will lead to an increase in the number of metal traces arranged in parallel on the preset circuit board 11, and thus an increase in the area covered by the preset circuit board 11 and the integrated electrode 12 as a whole. Figure 4 Considering the space covered by the edge-filling film 7, the integrated electrode 12, the preset circuit board 11 and the corresponding liquid crystal edge seal 10 arranged in conjunction with the dimming film 5, the width Wj of the second shielding area 32 should also be set to a minimum value, and the above minimum value is positively correlated with the number of partitions of the vehicle window. Exemplarily, the width Wj of the above second shielding area 32 should be greater than or equal to 3n+35, in mm, where n is the number of vehicle window partitions.

[0104] In some embodiments, the window further includes a lifting actuator 15 and a bracket 13, wherein the lifting actuator 15 is electrically connected to a signal receiver 14. In addition to being used for dimming control, the signal receiver 14 can also obtain a lifting control signal from an external window control system that can directly control the lifting of the window, and based on the signal, the lifting control signal is sent to the lifting actuator 15 using the electrical connection relationship between the lifting actuator 15 and the signal receiver 14, so that the lifting actuator 15 controls the lifting of the entire window according to the lifting control signal. The main function of the bracket 13 is to provide a connection method between the window and the door sheet metal of the vehicle, so as to facilitate the installation of the window on the corresponding door sheet metal.

[0105] In this way, the vehicle window provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve a zone dimming effect that is close to stepless adjustment by limiting the width of the split line and the width of the partition, thereby achieving zone privacy, improving the user experience of using the vehicle, and the convenience of vehicle operation. At the same time, the present application also ensures that the dimming field of view interval can be as clear as possible by setting the relationship between the shielding area of ​​the area where the adjustment electrode is located and the number of partitions, thereby improving the field of view of the vehicle window, thereby improving the experience of driving or using the vehicle, and improving the safety of vehicle driving.

[0106] The vehicle control method in the embodiment of the present application is used to control the light transmittance of the above-mentioned vehicle window.

[0107] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the vehicle control method includes:

[0108] 01: In response to a vehicle input signal, a partition control signal is sent to a signal receiver of the vehicle window to control the light transmittance of at least one partition of the vehicle window, and the vehicle input signal is used to indicate the current operating condition of the vehicle.

[0109] Specifically, the vehicle control method in the implementation mode of the present application is mainly used to perform zone dimming for the vehicle windows in the above-mentioned implementation mode, wherein the above-mentioned dimming process can perform dimming control separately for any zone in the above-mentioned vehicle windows, and the above-mentioned dimming control process is mainly triggered based on the vehicle input signal that can represent the current working condition of the vehicle, and the dimming control method changes with the different working conditions of the vehicle.

[0110] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the vehicle input signal includes a first input signal, the first input signal being used to indicate that the vehicle is currently operating in a shutter mode;

[0111] Step 01 includes the following steps:

[0112] 011: In response to the first input signal, a first partition dimming signal is sent to a signal receiver of the vehicle window to control the light transmittance of at least one partition of the vehicle window.

[0113] The first subarea dimming signal is configured to control the transmittance of any two adjacent subareas of the vehicle window to be different.

[0114] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first subarea dimming signal is further configured to control the transmittance of two adjacent subareas on both sides of at least one subarea of ​​the vehicle window to be the same.

[0115] Specifically, for the control of window transmittance on a real vehicle, it is first necessary to clarify that a vehicle generally includes at least two types of windows, one of which is a vehicle side window installed on a door sheet metal, and the other is a rear door corner window installed on a door sheet metal and / or a side panel dimming window installed on a side panel metal. Secondly, the above vehicle control method is implemented by a window control system configured on the vehicle.

[0116] In some examples, when the vehicle is currently working in the blinds mode, the signal input module in the window control system introduces the blinds mode operation signal (corresponding to the first input signal). In this case, the domain control module in the window control system sends the first partition display signal to the signal receiver 14 of each window respectively, and the signal receiver 14 of each window performs partition dimming on each partition on the window through the loop formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5, and the common electrode 9 to adjust the transmittance of each partition on the window, so that the transmittance of each partition in the vehicle side window, the rear corner window of the door, and the side dimming window can present a light and dark interval effect like a blind, that is, the transmittance of adjacent partitions is set to a state with obvious differences. It should be explained in detail that the above-mentioned transmittance generally includes two sets of data, one is the light transmittance, and the other is the haze. In addition, the above-mentioned light and dark interval effect like blinds includes the case where the two adjacent partitions on both sides of the same partition have the same light transmittance, and the case where the two adjacent partitions on both sides of the same partition have different light transmittances. The specific control method can be adjusted according to the actual state of the vehicle. For example, the light transmittance of the odd-numbered partitions on the car window is controlled to be the maximum, and the light transmittance of the even-numbered partitions on each car window is controlled to be the minimum, so that the partition dimming of each car window is performed in blinds mode.

[0117] It should be added that after the signal input module in the window control system introduces the blinds mode operation signal, it is also necessary to determine, for example, whether the blinds mode is already turned on in the window dimming setting of the current vehicle. If the blinds mode is not turned on, the above steps will not be entered, and the window dimming will not be performed. The above steps will only be triggered when the blinds mode is turned on.

[0118] In this way, the present application can perform zone dimming for the vehicle side windows, door corner windows or side glass when the vehicle side windows are completely closed based on the blinds dimming mode, so that the vehicle side windows, door corner windows or side glass as a whole present a blinds-like light and dark interval effect. In addition, the present application can further perform zone dimming for the vehicle side windows, door corner windows or side glass individually based on user needs, so as to realize the user's personalized adjustment of zone dimming.

[0119] See also Figure 8 In some embodiments, the vehicle input signal includes a second input signal, and the second input signal is used to indicate that the vehicle is currently in a collision condition;

[0120] Step 01 also includes:

[0121] 012: In response to the second input signal, sending a second partition dimming signal to the signal receiver of the vehicle window to control the light transmittance of at least one partition of the vehicle window,

[0122] The second partition dimming signal is configured to control the light transmittance of each partition of the vehicle window to reach a maximum value.

[0123] When the vehicle is in an accident state such as a collision, the pop-up of the vehicle airbag or other components detects that the vehicle is in a collision condition, the signal input module in the window control system introduces a collision condition mode operation signal (corresponding to the second input signal). On this basis, the domain control module in the window control system sends the second partition display signal to the signal receivers 14 of each vehicle side window, rear door corner window and side dimming window based on the above-mentioned collision condition mode operation signal, and the signal receivers 14 of each window perform partition dimming on each partition on each vehicle side window, rear door corner window and side dimming window through the loop formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5 and the common electrode 9, so that the transmittance of each partition on each vehicle side window, rear door corner window and side dimming window reaches the highest. Such adjustment can set the transmittance of the vehicle side window, rear door corner window and side dimming window to the highest level, so that people outside the vehicle can observe the internal environment of the vehicle more clearly through the window.

[0124] In addition, it is necessary to add to the above control process that when the signal input module in the window control system introduces the collision operating mode operation signal, the domain control module of the window control system will also send an alarm signal to the vehicle's automatic alarm system, thereby completing the vehicle alarm and rescue and assistance functions.

[0125] In this way, the present application can be based on the collision condition dimming mode. When the vehicle is currently in a collision condition, the transmittance of the vehicle's side windows, rear door corner windows or side glass can be adjusted to the highest based on the vehicle's collision signal, thereby providing the outside world with as much information as possible about the interior of the vehicle while ensuring the safety of the vehicle's internal environment as much as possible, so as to facilitate subsequent rescue work and protect the safety of users' lives and property.

[0126] See also Fig. 9 , in some embodiments, the vehicle input signal includes a third input signal, and the third input signal is used to indicate that the vehicle is currently operating in a dim mode;

[0127] Step 01 includes:

[0128] 013: In response to the third input signal, sending a third subarea dimming signal to the signal receiver of the vehicle window to control the light transmittance of at least one subarea of ​​the vehicle window,

[0129] The third zone dimming signal is configured to control the light transmittance of each zone of the window to reach a minimum value.

[0130] Furthermore, the dim mode includes a movie viewing mode. When the third input signal is used to indicate that the vehicle is currently operating in the movie viewing mode, the vehicle control method further includes:

[0131] 014: In response to a third input signal, when a target display corresponding to the movie viewing mode in the vehicle is not turned on, a start signal is sent to the target display to control the target display to turn on.

[0132] Specifically, when the user needs to reduce the brightness inside the vehicle (for example, when watching a movie inside the vehicle), the user can switch the current working mode of the vehicle to the dim mode by interacting with the vehicle system. At this time, in response to the above working mode switching to the dim mode, the signal input module in the window control system introduces the dim mode operation signal (corresponding to the third input signal). Then, in response to the above viewing mode operation signal, the domain control module in the window control system sends the third partition display signal to the signal receivers 14 of the above-mentioned vehicle side windows, rear door corner windows and side dimming windows, respectively. The signal receivers 14 of each window perform partition dimming on each partition through the loop formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5 and the common electrode 9, so that the transmittance of each partition is minimized. Such adjustment can minimize the brightness of the vehicle's interior environment by setting the transmittance of the vehicle's side windows, rear door corner windows and side dimming windows to the lowest, and reduce the impact of the external light environment on the vehicle's interior light environment, thereby providing users with a higher viewing experience and atmosphere.

[0133] In addition, in addition to performing zone dimming for the above-mentioned windows, exemplarily, before the window control system performs dimming control for the windows, in order to ensure the user's viewing experience, the vehicle's controller will also detect whether the current vehicle's ceiling screen (corresponding to the target display) has been opened. Among them, the above-mentioned ceiling screen is arranged on the top of the vehicle cabin, and the opening and closing of the ceiling screen is controlled by an opening and closing motor. Its main function is to serve as a display screen for watching movies, and its display brightness can be adjusted by the user through manual operation or voice commands. When the above-mentioned ceiling screen is not opened, the vehicle's controller will also control the above-mentioned opening and closing motor to rotate to control the opening of the ceiling screen.

[0134] In addition, when the transmittance of the vehicle's side windows, door rear corner windows and side dimming windows are adjusted to the lowest, the vehicle will feed back the current transmittance of each window to the on-board system, and the on-board system will adjust the display brightness of the ceiling screen to make the display brightness of the ceiling screen consistent with the transmittance of each window and the current brightness inside the vehicle. At the same time, it also provides users with a control channel so that users can update and calibrate the display brightness of the ceiling screen according to their own preferences.

[0135] In this way, the present application can also perform dimming linkage control on the vehicle's ceiling screen and windows based on the movie viewing dimming mode, reduce the light transmittance of the windows, thereby darkening the interior environment of the vehicle, and reduce the negative impact of the external light environment on the viewing environment inside the vehicle, thereby improving the user's viewing experience and sense of atmosphere.

[0136] In some embodiments, the vehicle control method further includes:

[0137] In response to the dimming control instruction input by the user, a fourth subarea dimming signal is sent to the signal receiver of the vehicle window to control the light transmittance of at least one subarea of ​​the vehicle window.

[0138] Users can also actively customize the transmittance of each partition on each window by manual input or voice input. Generally, the vehicle can remind the user whether to choose to actively control and adjust the transmittance of each partition in each window through a pop-up window on the central control screen or through voice prompts. Exemplarily, the condition for judging whether the user chooses to actively control and adjust the transmittance can be that the user actively selects "yes" or does not select "no" within a preset time period. The above conditions can also be adaptively adjusted according to the actual control logic design, and this application does not make specific limitations. In the case where the user chooses to actively control and adjust the transmittance, the user manually or voice adjusts the specific transmittance parameters of each window and each partition. The specific transmittance parameters can be found in Table 1:

[0139] Table 1 Comparison table of adjustment data of light transmittance of each partition of the window

[0140]

[0141] The adjustment percentage and adjustment gear in Table 1 are representative data used when the user performs manual or voice adjustment. The light transmittance and haze are the light transmittance and haze data used when adjusting the transmittance of the corresponding window partition after the user determines the representative data through adjustment.

[0142] When the user selects the adjustment percentage or adjustment gear, the domain control module in the window control system sends the above-mentioned adjustment percentage or adjustment gear in the form of a fourth partition display signal to the signal receiver 14 of the corresponding window. The signal receiver 14 of the corresponding window is based on the above-mentioned fourth partition display signal, through the loop formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5, and the common electrode 9, and performs dimming on the target partition on the window according to the light transmittance and haze data corresponding to the above-mentioned adjustment percentage or adjustment gear, thereby realizing the user's customized control of the window partition dimming.

[0143] In this way, the present application can also perform manual dimming control for each partition of the vehicle window based on user control.

[0144] In some embodiments, the vehicle window includes a first vehicle window, and the first vehicle window is a switchable vehicle window. The vehicle control method further includes:

[0145] In response to the vehicle input signal, when the first window is not completely closed, the first window is controlled to close.

[0146] Specifically, on the basis of the above-mentioned implementation, the difference between the above-mentioned vehicle side windows, rear door corner windows and side dimming windows is that the vehicle side windows can be controlled on the door sheet metal to achieve lifting and lowering, while the rear door corner windows and side dimming windows are fixed on the corresponding sheet metal and cannot be lifted and lowered. For the above-mentioned control process, if it is detected that the vehicle side windows are not completely closed, the domain control module in the window control system sends a lifting control signal to the signal receiver of the vehicle side windows that are not completely closed, and the signal receiver 14 corresponding to the vehicle side windows further sends the above-mentioned lifting control signal to the corresponding lifting actuator, so that the lifting actuator controls the vehicle side windows to rise until they are completely closed. It should be noted that the above-mentioned incomplete closure includes the state where the vehicle side windows are fully opened, and the state where they are neither fully opened nor fully closed.

[0147] In this way, the present application can also control the unclosed windows to complete closing before executing dimming, so as to show the effect of window zone dimming.

[0148] Further, in certain embodiments, if the vehicle input signal is a second input signal, controlling the first window to be closed is performed when the first window is not fully opened, and the second input signal is used to indicate that the vehicle is currently in a collision condition.

[0149] Specifically, when the vehicle is in a collision condition, in order to further improve the effect of outsiders observing the internal environment of the vehicle, it is also necessary to confirm and adjust the opening and closing and light transmittance of each vehicle side window. Therefore, illustratively, when the light transmittance of each rear door corner window and the side dimming window is adjusted to the highest, it is detected whether each vehicle side window is completely closed and completely opened. It should be noted that what is detected here is whether each vehicle side window is between completely closed and completely opened. Only when the vehicle side window is neither completely closed nor completely opened, the domain control module in the window control system sends a lifting control signal to the signal receiver 14 of the vehicle side window that is neither completely closed nor completely opened, and the signal receiver of the corresponding vehicle side window further sends the lifting control signal to the corresponding lifting actuator, so that the lifting actuator controls the vehicle side window to rise until it is completely closed. Such an adjustment can first close the half-open and half-closed vehicle window, thereby improving the protection effect of the internal environment of the vehicle, and at the same time facilitates the subsequent dimming of the closed vehicle side window. If a vehicle side window is currently fully open, then for the vehicle side window, people outside the vehicle can directly observe the interior environment of the vehicle through the open vehicle side window. At this time, the vehicle side window does not need to be adjusted, and the vehicle side window can remain in the fully open state.

[0150] In this way, the present application can also control whether the windows are closed or not according to the actual situation of the windows when in a collision condition, so as to enable people outside the vehicle to observe the situation inside the vehicle as quickly as possible.

[0151] For example, the above examples may be performed with reference to the following embodiments:

[0152] See also Fig.10 For the window dimming control in the blinds mode, the vehicle's onboard system first detects whether the blinds mode function is turned on. If not, the window dimming process will not be triggered. When the blinds mode function is confirmed to be turned on, the window dimming process begins, and the window control system detects whether the vehicle's side windows are currently fully closed.

[0153] If it is detected that the vehicle side window is not completely closed, the domain control module in the window control system sends a lifting control signal to the signal receiver of the vehicle side window that is not completely closed, and the signal receiver of the corresponding vehicle side window further sends the above lifting control signal to the corresponding lifting actuator, so that the lifting actuator controls the vehicle side window to rise until it is completely closed.

[0154] If it is detected that the vehicle side windows are all closed, the domain control module in the window control system sends a first partition display signal to the signal receiver 14 of each window respectively. The signal receiver 14 of each window then transmits the above-mentioned first partition display signal through the dimming circuit formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5, and the common electrode 9 to perform partition dimming on each partition on the window to adjust the transmittance of each partition on the window, so that the transmittance of each partition in the vehicle side window, the door rear corner window and the side surround dimming window can present a light and dark interval effect like a blind.

[0155] Then, on the basis of executing the automatic zone dimming control for each window based on the above-mentioned blinds mode operation signal, the user can also actively customize the transmittance of each zone on each window by manual input or voice input. Generally, after the above-mentioned automatic zone dimming control is completed, the vehicle can remind the user whether to choose to actively control and adjust the transmittance of each zone in each window through a pop-up window on the central control screen or through voice prompts. Exemplarily, the condition for judging whether the user chooses to actively control and adjust the transmittance can be that the user actively selects "yes" or does not select "no" within a preset time period. The above conditions can also be adaptively adjusted according to the actual control logic design, and this application does not make specific limitations. In the case where the user chooses to actively control and adjust the transmittance, the user manually or voice adjusts the specific transmittance parameters of each zone of each window. For specific parameters, please refer to Table 1 in the above-mentioned implementation.

[0156] When the user selects the adjustment percentage or adjustment gear, the domain control module in the window control system sends the above-mentioned adjustment percentage or adjustment gear in the form of a fourth partition display signal to the signal receiver 14 of the corresponding window. The signal receiver 14 of the corresponding window is based on the above-mentioned fourth partition display signal, and the dimming circuit formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5, and the common electrode 9 performs dimming on the target partition on the window according to the light transmittance and haze data corresponding to the above-mentioned adjustment percentage or adjustment gear, thereby realizing the user's customized control of the window partition dimming.

[0157] See also Fig.11 For the window dimming control under collision conditions, when the vehicle is currently in an accident state such as a collision, the vehicle airbag pops out or other components detect that the current vehicle is in a collision condition, the signal input module in the window control system introduces a collision condition mode operation signal. Then, when the signal input module in the window control system introduces a collision condition mode operation signal, the domain control module of the window control system will first send an alarm signal to the vehicle's automatic alarm system, thereby completing the vehicle alarm and rescue and assistance functions.

[0158] On this basis, the domain control module in the window control system operates the signal based on the above-mentioned collision operating mode, and the domain control module in the window control system sends the second partition display signal to the signal receiver 14 of each window respectively. The signal receiver 14 of each window transmits the above-mentioned second partition display signal through the dimming circuit formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5, and the common electrode 9 to perform partition dimming on each partition on each window, so that the transmittance of each partition on each rear door corner window and the side dimming window reaches the highest.

[0159] Then, in order to further improve the effect of outsiders observing the internal environment of the vehicle, it is also necessary to confirm and adjust the opening and closing and light transmittance of each vehicle side window. Therefore, illustratively, when the light transmittance of each window has been adjusted once, it is detected whether each vehicle side window is completely closed. It should be noted that the "completely closed" detected here refers to whether each vehicle side window is in a state between completely closed and completely open. Only when it is detected that there are vehicle side windows that are neither completely closed nor completely opened, the domain control module in the window control system sends a lifting control signal to the signal receiver of the above-mentioned vehicle side window that is neither completely closed nor completely opened, and the signal receiver of the corresponding vehicle side window further sends the above-mentioned lifting control signal to the corresponding lifting actuator, so that the lifting actuator controls the vehicle side window to rise until it is completely closed. In this way, the half-open and half-closed windows can be closed first, thereby improving the protection effect of the internal environment of the vehicle, and at the same time, it is convenient for the subsequent dimming of the closed vehicle side windows.

[0160] Next, it is detected whether the side windows of each vehicle are fully open. If it is detected that a side window of a vehicle is fully open, then for this vehicle side window, people outside the vehicle can directly observe the interior environment of the vehicle through the open vehicle side window. At this time, the vehicle side window does not need to be adjusted, and the vehicle side window can remain fully open without performing any action.

[0161] Finally, the above-mentioned window dimming process is re-executed for each vehicle side window that has just been closed through the above-mentioned process, and the domain control module in the window control system sends a second partition display signal to the signal receiver 14 of the above-mentioned vehicle side window respectively. The signal receiver 14 of each window transmits the above-mentioned second partition display signal through the dimming circuit formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5, and the common electrode 9 to perform partition dimming on each partition of the above-mentioned vehicle side window, so that the light transmittance of each partition on the above-mentioned vehicle side window reaches the highest.

[0162] See also Fig.12, for the window dimming control in the movie viewing mode, the user can switch the current working mode of the vehicle to the movie viewing mode by interacting with the vehicle-mounted system. At this time, the vehicle-mounted system switches to the movie viewing mode in response to the above working mode. At this time, the vehicle's onboard system determines whether the above viewing mode has been turned on in the window dimming setting of the current vehicle. If the above viewing mode is not turned on, the above steps will not be entered, and the window dimming will not be performed. If it is detected that the above viewing mode is turned on, it is detected whether the vehicle ceiling screen used for viewing movies is currently closed. If the ceiling screen is currently closed, the domain control module of the window control system sends a motion signal to the opening and closing motor matching the ceiling screen to control the opening and closing motor to drive the ceiling screen to open.

[0163] When the ceiling screen is already opened, it is further detected whether the vehicle side windows are currently completely closed. If it is detected that the vehicle side windows are not completely closed, the domain control module in the window control system sends a lifting control signal to the signal receiver of the vehicle side window that is not completely closed, and the signal receiver of the corresponding vehicle side window further sends the above lifting control signal to the corresponding lifting actuator, so that the lifting actuator controls the vehicle side window to rise until it is completely closed.

[0164] When all the side windows of the vehicle are closed, it is detected whether the light transmittance of each window is currently the lowest. If not, the domain control module sends a third partition dimming signal to the signal receiver 14 corresponding to each window whose light transmittance is not the lowest. The signal receiver 14 of each window transmits the second partition display signal through the dimming circuit formed by the integrated electrode 12, the dimming film 5, and the common electrode 9 to perform partition dimming on each partition on each window, so that the light transmittance of each partition on the above-mentioned windows reaches the lowest.

[0165] After the above-mentioned transmittance adjustment process is completed, the signal receiver 14 of each window will feed back the dimming completion status information to the domain control module, and the domain control module will feed back the gear information corresponding to the minimum transmittance to the user control module according to Table 1. The user control module sets the display transparency and the transmittance of each window to be consistent based on the vehicle's central control screen or other controlled display screens, and provides the user with a user interface that can be directly controlled, such as an injection slider, so that the user can directly recalibrate and adjust the transparency of the window and the display screen in the interface.

[0166] Furthermore, when the user manually exits the movie viewing mode or exits the movie viewing mode through voice commands, or controls the entire vehicle to power off, the domain control module sends a closing signal to the opening and closing motor of the ceiling screen in response to the above-mentioned control action, and the opening and closing motor drives the ceiling screen based on the closing signal, thereby closing the ceiling screen.

[0167] The window control system in the implementation manner of the present application is used to execute the above-mentioned vehicle control method.

[0168] See also Fig.13 In some embodiments, the vehicle window control system includes a signal input module, which is configured to obtain an input signal, and the input signal is configured to trigger the vehicle control method.

[0169] In certain embodiments, the vehicle window control system further includes a first domain control module, wherein the first domain control module is configured to control the light transmittance of the vehicle window in response to the input signal.

[0170] In some embodiments, the system further includes a second domain control module, wherein the second domain control module is configured to replace the first domain control module when the first domain control module fails to work properly.

[0171] Specifically, see Fig.13 , Fig.13 The components of the vehicle window control system and the installation positions of the components on the actual vehicle are shown more completely. The signal input module is used to introduce input signals to the first domain control module and the second domain control module in the vehicle window control system to trigger the above-mentioned vehicle control method.

[0172] The first domain control module is the core component of the window control system. Its main purpose is to control the dimming process of each window partition and the lifting and lowering of each vehicle side window by transmitting partition display signals for each window. In addition, the first domain control module can also communicate with the vehicle's automatic alarm system to send an alarm signal to the outside through the vehicle's automatic alarm system, thereby completing the vehicle alarm and rescue and assistance functions. Moreover, the first domain control module can also control the vehicle's ceiling screen to open and close by controlling the drive motor.

[0173] In order to ensure the reliability of the operation of the window control system, in some examples, the window control system is also provided with a second domain control module. The functions of the second domain control module are the same as those of the first domain control module. Its main function is redundancy. The second domain control module does not work during the normal operation of the first domain control module. When the first domain control module fails or cannot work normally due to other reasons, the second domain control module plays the role of the first domain control module and becomes the core component of the window control system.

[0174] Then please refer to Fig.13In order to achieve the above technical effects, the first domain control module is configured with a communication connection relationship with the signal input module, the automatic alarm system, the lifting and lowering actuators of each vehicle side window, the partition dimming device of each window and the vehicle ceiling screen, wherein the partition dimming device of each window includes the integrated electrode 12, the common electrode 9, the dimming film 5 and the signal receiver 14 in the above embodiment. The communication connection configuration of the second domain control module is exactly the same as that of the first domain control module. In addition, Fig.13 The installation positions of various windows and ceiling screens on the vehicle are also shown, wherein the ceiling screen is installed on the inner sheet metal of the vehicle's roof, the vehicle's side windows and rear door corner windows are installed on the corresponding door sheet metals, and the side panel dimming windows are installed on the corresponding side panel sheet metals.

[0175] In some embodiments, the system further includes a user control module, which is configured to obtain an execution instruction from a user and control the light transmittance of the vehicle window via the first domain control module according to the execution instruction.

[0176] Specifically, on the basis of the above-mentioned implementation mode, in order to realize the customized dimming control of each window executed by the user manually or by voice command in the above-mentioned vehicle control method, exemplarily, the above-mentioned window control system also includes a user control module (not shown in the figure), and the user control module is communicatively connected with the first domain control module and the second domain control module. The user control module is provided with a touch operation device and / or a voice control device. The user can perform customized dimming control on each window by directly manually operating the touch operation device or by using the voice control device through voice commands.

[0177] In this way, the window control system in the embodiment of the present application can obtain input signals that can trigger the above-mentioned vehicle control method from other components in the vehicle based on the signal input module, and directly perform dimming control on each vehicle window based on the first domain control module, and further improve the operational stability of the window control system through the redundant design of the second domain control module. In addition, the window control system can also provide users with a control path so that users can customize the light transmittance of the windows through a variety of different command input methods such as manual control and voice control, thereby improving the electrification and intelligence of the side window partition dimming while improving the vehicle's user experience.

[0178] The vehicle in the embodiments of the present application includes the above-mentioned vehicle window; or is equipped with the above-mentioned vehicle window control system.

[0179] In certain embodiments, the above-mentioned vehicle is capable of executing the above-mentioned vehicle control method.
