Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of human-computer interaction for special vehicle drivers, and in particular relates to a method and a device for quickly locating special vehicle operation instructions. Background Art

[0002] In special vehicles, due to the various functional mission systems, the number of switches arranged is much greater than that of traditional vehicles. Drivers need to find the required switches quickly and accurately during operation, otherwise they may cause misoperation and affect the normal operation of the vehicle. Therefore, how to find the required switches quickly and accurately is an important issue that needs to be solved in the design of special vehicles.

[0003] Generally speaking, there are two main types of vehicle-mounted switch layout devices, one is the traditional operation panel, and the other is the driver display and control terminal, which are generally allocated according to frequency of use and usage scenarios.

[0004] The operation panel is controlled by a single-chip microcomputer, which is simple and reliable. The switch settings rely on logical indicator lights. Various three- and two-position switches are responsible for the control functions of vehicle quick operation and function settings. Due to limitations such as the size of the front side of the cockpit, the number of switches arranged is limited.

[0005] The on-board driver display and control terminal is a computer-based system that is complex and multifunctional. Its main function is related to information-based charge and control. Soft switches are set as a supplement to the auxiliary control function of the operation panel. It is responsible for debugging some system versions, fine suspension operations, single settings of temporary loads, and various functions. It is arranged in a menu format using peripheral keys, and the switches are generally in the 2nd or 3rd level menu.

[0006] In engineering applications, the two complement each other and are relatively independent.

[0007] In the design, due to the large number of functional switches and the difficulty in positioning, some projects, in pursuit of aesthetics, artificially reduce the hardware of the traditional driver operation panel, and integrate most switches into the on-board computer terminal. Some solutions even add the basic operating functions of the vehicle to the terminal.

[0008] As a special vehicle on-board display terminal, it generally adopts a real-time processor and a Kirin embedded operating system (the normal startup time is 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Due to the harsh environment, it will go black and freeze under special circumstances). It is generally used for scheduling, status management and video fusion of complex tasks performed by the vehicle. It has powerful functions, but compared with the single-chip microcomputer system widely used in the driver's operating panel of the electrical system (the normal startup time is in milliseconds, and the watchdog can support fast reset in case of fault), there is a big gap in reliability and convenience. Adding switches closely related to the functions to the on-board display terminal essentially reduces the operability and reliability of the chassis operating functions.

[0009] The design principle of the switches on the operation panel is compact design, simple and fast operation, clear operation feedback, combined with backlight, indicator light, internal logic and internal hard wiring to achieve various control and power supply functions for the whole vehicle.

[0010] On the basis of maintaining the display and control functions of the traditional operating panel, the present invention invents various quick input methods involved in various daily use conditions for special vehicle drivers, including blind operation, visual operation, and function switch operation guidance, etc., and forms a set of quick positioning devices to solve the problem of driver quick positioning under multiple switch conditions. Summary of the invention

[0011] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0012] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to provide a method and device for quickly locating special vehicle operation instructions, which can quickly and accurately find the required switch and improve the operation efficiency.

[0013] (II) Technical solution

[0014] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for quickly locating special vehicle operating instructions. The method uses the transverse guardrail of the operating panel as a transverse positioning device, and sets a raised contact on each switch button as a longitudinal positioning device. Under the condition that the driver looks forward, the dimension is located by touching the transverse guardrail with his left hand, and the longitude is located by the raised contact on the transverse guardrail with the located dimension. The required vehicle control operation can be directly performed by using the mastered position definition.

[0015] When receiving a locked danger warning, the vehicle must maneuver at high speed for emergency avoidance, and the thermal smoke screen needs to be opened quickly. At this time, the driver's eyes are not allowed to leave the field of vision ahead. The driver only needs to master the pre-determined position definition, 2nd row, right 1 is the thermal smoke screen, and then, while looking forward, the driver can extend his left hand to touch the operation panel to locate the 2nd row of horizontal guardrails, count from the first protrusion on the right, and manually operate the thermal smoke screen switch directly opposite it to quickly implement this function.

[0016] The method divides the operation panel into an emergency operation area, an engine operation area, a vehicle posture operation area, a heating operation area, and a protection operation area, and marks different area colors or backlights.

[0017] The method provides a corresponding indicator light above the switch button of the operation panel;

[0018] When the alarm information associated with the switch function of the operation panel is valid, the indicator light above the switch button of the operation panel flashes at a certain frequency, prompting the driver to operate quickly and input instructions.

[0019] The certain frequency is 4 Hz.

[0020] In addition, the present invention also provides a special vehicle operating instruction rapid positioning device, characterized in that the device uses the transverse guardrail of the operating panel as a transverse positioning device, and sets a raised contact on each switch button as a longitudinal positioning device, so that the driver can locate the dimension by touching the transverse guardrail with his left hand while looking forward, and locate the longitude by using the raised contact on the transverse guardrail with the located dimension, and directly perform the required vehicle control operation by using the mastered position definition.

[0021] When receiving a locked danger warning, the vehicle must maneuver at high speed for emergency avoidance, and the thermal smoke screen needs to be opened quickly. At this time, the driver's eyes are not allowed to leave the field of vision ahead. The driver only needs to master the pre-determined position definition, 2nd row, right 1 is the thermal smoke screen, and then, while looking forward, the driver can extend his left hand to touch the operation panel to locate the 2nd row of horizontal guardrails, count from the first protrusion on the right, and manually operate the thermal smoke screen switch directly opposite it to quickly implement this function.

[0022] The device divides the operation panel into an emergency operation area, an engine operation area, a vehicle posture operation area, a heating operation area, and a protection operation area, and marks different area colors or backlights.

[0023] The device is provided with a corresponding indicator light above the switch button on the operation panel;

[0033] In order to make the purpose, content, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0034] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for quickly locating special vehicle operating instructions. The method uses the transverse guardrail of the operating panel as a transverse positioning device, and sets a raised contact on each switch button as a longitudinal positioning device. Under the condition that the driver looks forward, the dimension is located by touching the transverse guardrail with his left hand, and the longitude is located by the raised contact on the transverse guardrail with the located dimension. The required vehicle control operation can be directly performed by using the mastered position definition.

[0035] When receiving a locked danger warning, the vehicle must maneuver at high speed for emergency avoidance, and the thermal smoke screen needs to be opened quickly. At this time, the driver's eyes are not allowed to leave the field of vision ahead. The driver only needs to master the pre-determined position definition, 2nd row, right 1 is the thermal smoke screen, and then, while looking forward, the driver can extend his left hand to touch the operation panel to locate the 2nd row of horizontal guardrails, count from the first protrusion on the right, and manually operate the thermal smoke screen switch directly opposite it to quickly implement this function.

[0036] The method divides the operation panel into an emergency operation area, an engine operation area, a vehicle posture operation area, a heating operation area, and a protection operation area, and marks different area colors or backlights.

[0037] The method provides a corresponding indicator light above the switch button of the operation panel;

[0038] When the alarm information associated with the switch function of the operation panel is valid, the indicator light above the switch button of the operation panel flashes at a certain frequency, prompting the driver to operate quickly and input instructions.

[0039] The certain frequency is 4 Hz.

[0040] In addition, the present invention also provides a special vehicle operating instruction rapid positioning device, which uses the transverse guardrail of the operating panel as a transverse positioning device, and sets a raised contact on each switch button as a longitudinal positioning device, so that the driver can locate the dimension by touching the transverse guardrail with his left hand while looking forward, and locate the longitude by using the raised contact on the transverse guardrail with the located dimension, and directly perform the required vehicle control operation by using the mastered position definition.

[0041] When receiving a locked danger warning, the vehicle must maneuver at high speed for emergency avoidance, and the thermal smoke screen needs to be opened quickly. At this time, the driver's eyes are not allowed to leave the field of vision ahead. The driver only needs to master the pre-determined position definition, 2nd row, right 1 is the thermal smoke screen, and then, while looking forward, the driver can extend his left hand to touch the operation panel to locate the 2nd row of horizontal guardrails, count from the first protrusion on the right, and manually operate the thermal smoke screen switch directly opposite it to quickly implement this function.

[0042] The device divides the operation panel into an emergency operation area, an engine operation area, a vehicle posture operation area, a heating operation area, and a protection operation area, and marks different area colors or backlights.

[0043] The device is provided with a corresponding indicator light above the switch button on the operation panel;

[0044] When the alarm information associated with the switch function of the operation panel is valid, the indicator light above the switch button of the operation panel flashes at a certain frequency, prompting the driver to operate quickly and input instructions.

[0045] The certain frequency is 4 Hz.

[0046] Based on the traditional operation panel, the present invention adds a positioning device to the transverse guardrail (the traditional guardrail only protects the left and right sides). When the driver is driving normally and is in front of the vehicle, he can touch the transverse guardrail with his left hand to directly locate the required operation through the transverse guardrail and the raised contact point.

[0047] In the past, the operation panel was arranged according to the switch type, and various functional switches were combined together without any associated logic. During operation, the driver had to visually read the text description of each switch. The present invention adds functional partitions and cooperates with the horizontal and vertical positioning devices above to achieve the rapid implementation of the driver's intention.

[0048] When the vehicle detects signals such as water ingress, low temperature, or danger, in non-automatic conditions, the vehicle requires the driver to quickly perform manual operations. In this case, time is life. In conjunction with blind operation and area positioning, an operation guidance mode based on indicator lights was invented.

[0049] (1) Positioning guardrail

[0050] A horizontal guardrail is arranged above each row of switches to prevent accidental touch operation and serve as a positioning latitude; a raised contact point is set on each row of guardrails facing the switch as a longitude. It is mainly for switches that need to be operated by the driver when the driver is driving normally.

[0051] If the weather is cold and the glass is frozen, the periscope needs to be heated. In this case, the driver of the special vehicle must stop the car and look for this function on the operation panel or display terminal (screen switching required). After finding it, the driver manually turns it on and then re-engages the gear and starts. This operation is time-consuming and laborious, and in critical missions or dangerous environments, parking operations may lead to major accidents.

[0052] To solve this problem, the lateral guardrail of the traditional operating panel is used as a lateral customization device, and a protrusion that completely corresponds to the button position is added as a longitudinal positioning device. During normal driving, the driver can look ahead at the vehicle and locate the dimension by touching the guardrail with his left hand. The protrusion on the guardrail locates the longitude by the located dimension. The required operation can be performed directly using the mastered position definition.

[0053] For example, when receiving danger warnings such as being locked, the vehicle must maneuver at high speed for emergency avoidance, and the thermal smoke screen needs to be quickly opened. At this time, the driver's eyes are not allowed to leave the front field of vision. In the past, the driver could only leave the field of vision to find the switch on the panel when the vehicle was maneuvering, and then look back after the operation, which may cause various accidents. Under the conditions of the present invention, as long as the driver knows the 2 rows, the right 1 is the thermal smoke screen, he can stretch out his left hand to touch the operation panel to locate the 2nd row of guardrails under the condition of visually looking forward, count the first protrusion from the right, and directly manually operate the switch at the opposite position, so as to quickly realize the function.

[0054] (2) Functional division

[0055] In the layout of the operation panel, the switches are often arranged according to their categories, which has nothing to do with their own functions. This product has good processing technology, but it causes a lot of interference to the driver during use. The above is a partial switch layout diagram of the driver's operation panel of a certain model ( Figure 3 It accounts for about 1 / 3 of the number of switches). During static or dynamic driving, the driver needs to observe visually for a period of time if he wants to find the required switch, especially in external dangerous environments.

[0056] According to the functional system of the whole vehicle, it can be divided into the whole vehicle operation needs, and the panel can be divided into emergency operation area, engine operation area, vehicle posture operation area, heating operation area, protection operation area, etc., and different area colors or backlights can be marked.

[0057] This is the engine working area divided according to typical operating requirements. In the case of the whole vehicle, during the starting phase, the driver can realize the relevant functions by operating the switches in sequence.

[0058] (3) Execute operation instructions

[0059] A large number of sensors are arranged on the vehicle to remind the driver. This part is mainly used for the alarm system to remind the driver. In many cases, after the alarm signal is activated, the driver is required to perform necessary operations to solve such problems.

[0060] Traditional operation panels only execute actions performed by the driver and indicate the completion of the actions through indicator lights. Especially when many systems are in manual mode, this places higher demands on the driver to quickly locate switch commands.

[0061] The present invention is designed that when the alarm information associated with the panel switch function is valid, the indicator light above the switch of the operation panel flashes at a frequency of 4 Hz, prompting the driver to operate quickly and input instructions.

[0062] For example, when the water level sensor detects the water level alarm, the system's secondary alarm is activated to remind the driver to turn on the drain pump switch. If this switch is in the off state, the system cannot automatically perform related automatic drainage operations. However, the driver's operation panel can be set to flash the drain pump's closing indicator light at 4 Hz after receiving the water level alarm, prompting the driver to perform the closing operation as soon as possible.

[0063] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
