[0099] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0100] It should be noted that a pickup truck is a light truck with a roofless cargo box behind the cab, and the cargo box side panels are connected to the cab. A pickup truck is a passenger and cargo vehicle with a sedan-like front and a cargo box at the back.

[0101] Since conventional pickup trucks lack rainproof devices, a canopy is usually installed on the top of the pickup truck's cargo box to protect the cargo in rainy and snowy weather. However, such canopies still require the driver to manually lift or close them, which is inconvenient for users to operate, especially when transporting goods. It is difficult to quickly start and close the canopy, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0102] In response to the problem in related technologies that vehicle awnings require manual operation by the driver, resulting in a poor user experience, the present application aims to provide a vehicle awning control method and system that can realize automatic control of the awning, so that the user can quickly control the start and close of the awning according to the awning usage requirements without manual operation, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0103] Reference Figure 1 , shows a vehicle canopy control method of the present application, applied to a central controller, the method may include the following steps:

[0104] S101: In response to a canopy control request triggered by a user, trigger detection of a smart key.

[0105] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment is the central controller of the vehicle, which is an electronic device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as ECU (Electronic Control Unit), BCM (Body Control Module), CEM (Central Electronic Module), etc. This embodiment will be described with CEM as the execution subject. CEM integrates the original BCM, GW (gateway), ALCM (ambient light controller) and other controllers, and as the main control unit of the vehicle body, it can realize functions such as message routing and forwarding, body control, and network management.

[0106] It should be further explained that the vehicle can be a pickup truck, a truck or other vehicle type equipped with a canopy, and the canopy is provided with a canopy controller and a canopy motor, wherein the canopy controller is connected to the central controller and the canopy motor, and is used to control the canopy motor to drive the canopy to open or close according to the canopy control instructions sent by the central controller.

[0107] In this embodiment, an opening is provided at the upper end of the cargo box of the vehicle, and a canopy is provided above the opening, and the canopy can be opened or closed relative to the cargo box to open or cover the opening. Specifically, when the canopy is opened to the open position, the canopy completely opens or partially opens the opening; when the canopy is closed to the closed position, the canopy completely covers the opening.

[0108] In a specific implementation, the canopy is arranged above the opening of the cargo box, a mounting groove is arranged on the side of the cargo box close to the cab, the side of the canopy close to the cab is flipably connected to the bottom of the mounting groove, and retractable first supporting members are arranged on both sides of the canopy and are respectively connected to the two side baffles of the cargo box. The first supporting member is connected to the canopy motor, and the canopy motor can control the side of the canopy close to the cab to rotate along the mounting groove by controlling the extension or contraction of the first supporting member, and the side of the canopy away from the cab rises or falls synchronously, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the canopy.

[0109] In a specific implementation, retractable second support members can be provided on both sides of the awning and connected to the two side baffles of the cargo box respectively. The awning motor can control the extension or contraction of the second support members to control the awning to rise or fall parallel to the cargo box to realize the opening or closing of the awning.

[0110] It should be noted that this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on the hardware implementation method of opening or closing the canopy.

[0111] In this embodiment, the user can trigger the canopy control request in a variety of ways according to his or her canopy usage needs. For example, the user can trigger the canopy control request to the CEM by triggering the canopy button preset on the smart key, or triggering the micro switch pre-set on the canopy, or triggering the virtual button preset on the central control display screen, or directly issuing a voice command, and the CEM responds to the canopy control request triggered by the user and triggers the detection of the smart key.

[0112] In the specific implementation, CEM will send detection information to the smart key according to the preset detection cycle. If feedback information returned by the smart key in response to the detection information is received, it is determined that the smart key is detected; if no feedback information returned by the smart key in response to the detection information is received after a preset number of consecutive detection cycles, it is determined that the smart key is not detected.

[0113] Furthermore, after obtaining the feedback information returned by the smart key in response to the detection information, the CEM will determine the target distance between the smart key and the vehicle based on the feedback information, and determine that the smart key is detected when the target distance is less than a first distance threshold. The first distance threshold can be set to 5 meters.

[0114] In this embodiment, by detecting the smart key and calculating the target distance between the smart key and the vehicle, it can ensure that during the control of the canopy, the user is in a safe area with the vehicle as the center and the first distance threshold as the radius, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of the vehicle.

[0115] S102: When a smart key is detected, a canopy control instruction is sent to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller responds to the canopy control instruction, obtains vehicle status information, and controls the canopy to execute an action corresponding to the canopy control instruction when the status information satisfies the canopy control condition.

[0116] In this embodiment, after detecting that the smart key is located in a safe area, the CEM will send a canopy control instruction to the canopy controller. After receiving the canopy control instruction, the canopy controller will obtain the vehicle status information to determine whether the canopy can be operated accordingly.

[0117] Specifically, in order to avoid unnecessary additional wiring, the target status information in the status information that needs to be obtained by the canopy controller will be obtained through CEM, that is, when CEM sends the canopy control command, it will also send the target status information to the canopy controller. For example, when the status information includes the current vehicle speed, the canopy controller can obtain the current vehicle speed through CEM, and there is no need to lay out additional data lines to connect the canopy controller and the vehicle speed sensor.

[0118] In this embodiment, if the canopy controller detects that the status information meets the canopy control condition, it controls the canopy to execute the action corresponding to the canopy control instruction, which may specifically include opening and closing the canopy. If the canopy controller detects that the status information does not meet the canopy control condition, it feeds back corresponding failure prompt information, which is used to prompt the content in the status information that does not meet the canopy control condition. For example, when the user triggers a canopy opening request, if the current vehicle speed does not meet the corresponding canopy control condition, the feedback failure prompt information is used to prompt that the vehicle speed is too fast to open the canopy.

[0119] In this embodiment, by judging whether the status information satisfies the canopy control condition, false triggering can be effectively avoided, thereby achieving automatic control of the canopy while ensuring safety.

[0120] In this embodiment, by providing the user with an automatic control function of the awning, the user can quickly start and close the awning according to the use requirements of the awning without manual operation, thereby effectively improving the user's use experience.

[0121] In a feasible implementation manner, the awning control request includes an awning opening request and an awning closing request; the awning control condition includes an awning opening condition and an awning closing condition; S102 may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0122] S102-1: When the canopy control request is a canopy opening request, a canopy opening instruction is sent to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller responds to the canopy opening instruction, obtains vehicle status information, and controls the canopy to move to the open position when the status information meets the canopy opening condition.

[0123] S102-2: When the canopy control request is a canopy closing request, a canopy closing instruction is sent to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller responds to the canopy closing instruction, obtains vehicle status information, and controls the canopy to move to a closed position when the status information satisfies the canopy closing condition.

[0124] In this embodiment, the user can control the canopy controller to automatically open the canopy by triggering a canopy opening request; at the same time, to ensure the safety of the canopy startup, the canopy opening condition will be set for the canopy startup. The user can also control the canopy controller to automatically close the canopy by triggering a canopy closing request; at the same time, to ensure the safety of the canopy closing, the canopy closing condition will be set for the canopy closing.

[0125] In a specific implementation, when the side of the canopy close to the cab is reversibly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove provided on the cargo box, the canopy can be controlled to be opened or closed by controlling the canopy to rotate along the bottom of the groove to a corresponding angle. For example, it can be set that when the canopy rotates 0°, the canopy is in a closed position; when the canopy rotates 80°, the canopy is in an open position. It should be noted that the opening angle or closing angle of the canopy can be set according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0126] In one example, when the user needs to move goods into the cargo box, he can send a canopy opening request to the vehicle through the smart key, or when he is moving goods, he can send a canopy opening request to the vehicle through voice or touching the micro switch. After CEM obtains the canopy opening request and detects the presence of a valid smart key near the vehicle, it will send a canopy opening instruction to the canopy controller to enable the canopy controller to automatically open the canopy to facilitate the user to move the goods. After the user has moved the goods and observes that it is raining, he can send a canopy closing request to the vehicle through the smart key. After CEM obtains the canopy closing request and detects the valid smart key, it will send a canopy closing instruction to the canopy controller to enable the canopy controller to automatically close the canopy, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the cargo box and achieving effective protection for the goods in the cargo box.

[0127] In a feasible implementation manner, the vehicle canopy control method may further include the following steps:

[0128] S103: Obtain the current awning status information sent by the awning controller.

[0129] In this embodiment, the canopy controller will send the updated current canopy status information to the CEM according to a preset update frequency.

[0130] S104: Control the vehicle instrument to display the current canopy status information.

[0131] In a specific implementation, the current canopy status information can be displayed in a variety of ways. For example, the vehicle instrument can be a central control display screen, or a prompt icon set separately on the center console. After obtaining the current canopy status information, the CEM can display the current canopy status information through the central control display screen, or control the prompt icon to display the target pattern corresponding to the current canopy status information and flash. Among them, the prompt icon can include a first pattern indicating that the canopy is fully open, a second pattern indicating that the canopy is fully closed, and a third pattern indicating that the canopy is half open.

[0132] In this embodiment, by displaying the current awning status information, the user can observe the current status of the awning intuitively and conveniently.

[0133] In a feasible implementation manner, after S103, the vehicle canopy control method may further include the following steps:

[0134] S105: Obtain the current speed of the vehicle.

[0135] In this embodiment, every time the CEM obtains the latest current canopy status information sent by the canopy controller, it will obtain the current vehicle speed and then determine whether the vehicle is traveling at a faster speed at this time.

[0136] S106: When the current vehicle speed is greater than the first vehicle speed threshold and the current canopy status information is open, output a first prompt message.

[0137] In this embodiment, the first vehicle speed threshold can be set to 6km / h, that is, when it is detected that the current vehicle speed is greater than 6km / h and the canopy is not in a closed state, a first prompt message is output, and the first prompt message is used to prompt that the canopy is not closed.

[0138] In a specific implementation, the first prompt information may be output in a combination of sound and icon, that is, while controlling the warning icon to flash, a corresponding warning voice is output.

[0139] In this embodiment, by real-time detection of the current vehicle speed and the current canopy status information, timely reminders can be given when it is detected that the canopy is not closed or not closed properly, thereby preventing the goods in the cargo box from being wetted by rain or snow or being damaged during high-speed driving.

[0140] In a feasible implementation manner, after S103, the vehicle canopy control method may further include the following steps:

[0141] S107: When it is detected that the vehicle is in a locked state and the current canopy status information is a closed state, the location information of the smart key is obtained.

[0142] In this embodiment, in order to promptly remind the user when the user accidentally leaves the smart key in the cargo box, the CEM will trigger a position detection of the smart key when it detects that the vehicle is in a locked state and the canopy is in a closed state to determine whether the smart key is left in the cargo box.

[0143] S108: When the location information indicates that the smart key is located in the cargo box, a second prompt message is output, and a second canopy opening instruction is sent to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller responds to the second canopy opening instruction and controls the canopy to move to the open position.

[0144] In this embodiment, after obtaining the location information of the smart key, the CEM will calculate the relative distance between the smart key and the canopy, and when the relative distance is less than a second distance threshold, determine that the location information indicates that the smart key is located in the cargo box. The second distance threshold is less than the first distance threshold.

[0145] In this embodiment, after detecting that the smart key is in the cargo box, the CEM will output a second prompt message to promptly remind the user that the smart key is left in the cargo box. At the same time, the awning is automatically controlled to open to facilitate the user to find the smart key.

[0146] In a specific implementation, in order to improve the reminder effect, when outputting the second prompt information, the CEM can control the vehicle's turn signal to flash and the vehicle's horn to sound.

[0147] In this embodiment, by providing a canopy anti-mislocking function, when it is detected that the smart key is left in the cargo box, the user can be reminded in time and the canopy can be controlled to open automatically, avoiding the user's difficulty in finding the smart key and being unable to effectively open the vehicle.

[0148] In the second aspect, based on the same inventive concept, refer to Figure 2, shows another vehicle canopy control method of the present application, which is applied to a canopy controller. An opening is provided at the upper end of the cargo box of the vehicle, and the canopy is provided above the opening. The canopy can be opened or closed relative to the cargo box to open or cover the opening. The method may include the following steps:

[0149] S201: Obtain the canopy control instruction sent by the central controller.

[0150] It should be noted that the executor of this embodiment is a canopy controller, which is an electronic device with data processing, network communication and program running functions.

[0151] In this embodiment, the canopy controller is connected to the central controller and the canopy motor, and is used to control the canopy motor to drive the canopy to open or close according to the canopy control instruction sent by the central controller. The canopy control instruction is generated by the central controller in response to the canopy control request triggered by the user, triggering the detection of the smart key, and when the smart key is detected.

[0152] S202: In response to the canopy control instruction, obtain vehicle status information.

[0153] In this embodiment, in order to avoid accidental triggering by the user, after receiving the canopy control instruction, the canopy controller will obtain the vehicle status information to determine whether the canopy can be operated accordingly.

[0154] S203: When the status information satisfies the canopy control condition, the canopy is controlled to execute an action corresponding to the canopy control instruction.

[0155] In this embodiment, if the awning controller detects that the status information meets the awning control conditions, it controls the awning to execute the action corresponding to the awning control instruction, which may specifically include opening and closing the awning; if it detects that the status information does not meet the awning control conditions, it feeds back corresponding failure prompt information.

[0156] In this embodiment, by providing the user with an automatic control function of the awning, the user can quickly start and close the awning according to the use requirements of the awning without manual operation, thereby effectively improving the user's use experience.

[0157] In a feasible implementation manner, the awning control request includes an awning opening request and an awning closing request; the awning control condition includes an awning opening condition and an awning closing condition; S201 may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0158] S201-A1: Obtain the awning opening instruction sent by the central controller.

[0159] It should be noted that the awning opening instruction is generated by the central controller based on the awning opening request triggered by the user. In other words, the user can trigger the awning opening request to control the awning to open automatically.

[0160] S201-A2: Obtain the awning closing instruction sent by the central controller.

[0161] It should be noted that the awning closing instruction is generated by the central controller based on the awning closing request triggered by the user. In other words, the user can trigger the awning closing request to control the awning to close automatically.

[0162] Specifically, S202 may include the following sub-steps:

[0163] S202-A1: In response to the canopy opening instruction, obtain vehicle status information.

[0164] S202-A2: In response to the canopy closing instruction, obtain vehicle status information.

[0165] In this embodiment, after obtaining the canopy opening instruction or the canopy closing instruction, the canopy controller will collect the vehicle status information.

[0166] Specifically, the status information may include the current vehicle speed, power mode and current canopy status information. The current canopy status information is acquired by the canopy controller itself, while the current vehicle speed and power mode can be acquired by the central controller.

[0167] Specifically, S203 may include the following sub-steps:

[0168] S203--A1: When the awning control instruction is a awning opening instruction and the status information satisfies the awning opening condition, the awning is controlled to move to the open position.

[0169] In a specific implementation, after receiving the canopy opening command, if the canopy controller detects that the current vehicle speed is less than or equal to the second vehicle speed threshold, the power mode is the first preset mode, and the current canopy status information is in the closed state, it determines that the status information meets the canopy opening conditions; and then controls the canopy to move to the open position.

[0170] S203-A2: When the awning control instruction is a awning closing instruction and the status information satisfies the awning closing condition, the awning is controlled to move to the closed position.

[0171] In a specific implementation, after receiving the canopy closing command, if the canopy controller detects that the current vehicle speed is less than or equal to the second vehicle speed threshold, the power mode is the first preset mode, and the current canopy status information is in the open state, it determines that the status information meets the canopy closing conditions; and then controls the canopy to move to the closed position.

[0172] It should be noted that the power mode refers to the power working mode of the entire vehicle, which may specifically include OFF mode, ACC mode, ON mode and CRANK mode.

[0173] In this embodiment, the second vehicle speed threshold may be set to 5 km / h, and the first preset mode may include an OFF mode and an ON mode. That is, when the vehicle is in a parking state or a very low speed driving state, the canopy is allowed to be opened or closed.

[0174] In a feasible implementation manner, after the step of controlling the canopy to move to the open position, the vehicle canopy control method may further include the following steps:

[0175] S204-A: When it is detected that the current vehicle speed is greater than the second vehicle speed threshold, or the power mode is the second preset mode, or the awning opening instruction is obtained again before the awning reaches the opening position, or the awning has reached the opening position, the awning is controlled to stop moving.

[0176] In a specific implementation, the second preset mode can be set to CRANK mode. It should be noted that the CRANK mode corresponds to the START position of the vehicle keyhole. When starting the vehicle, the key is usually turned to the bottom, that is, the START position, to start the engine. After the ignition is successful, it will return to the ON mode and start successfully. Since the generator works suddenly in the CRANK mode, the battery voltage may rush very high at once, and it will not return to normal levels until it starts successfully. Therefore, during the process of opening the canopy, if the power mode is detected to be CRANK mode, the canopy needs to be controlled to stop moving, and the canopy continues to open after the vehicle exits the CRANK mode.

[0177] In this embodiment, during the awning opening process, if the above four situations are encountered, the awning will be controlled to stop moving, while ensuring the safety of the awning opening process, allowing the user to control the opening angle of the awning. In other words, the user can control the awning to stop at any time by triggering the awning opening command again during the awning opening process.

[0178] Furthermore, after the step of controlling the canopy to move to the open position, the vehicle canopy control method may further include the following steps:

[0179] S204-B: When it is detected that the power mode is the second preset mode, or the awning closing instruction is obtained again before the awning reaches the closed position, or the awning has reached the closed position, the awning is controlled to stop moving.

[0180] In this embodiment, during the closing process of the awning, if the above four situations are encountered, the awning will also be controlled to stop, while ensuring the safety of the awning closing process, allowing the user to control the closing angle of the awning. In other words, the user can control the awning to stop at any time by triggering the awning closing command again during the closing process of the awning.

[0181] In a feasible implementation manner, the vehicle canopy control method may further include the following steps:

[0182] S205-A: In the process of controlling the awning to move to the open position, if it is detected that the duration of the stall current of the awning motor is greater than the duration threshold, the awning motor is controlled to reversely drive the awning a preset distance.

[0183] S205-B: In the process of controlling the awning to move to the closed position, if it is detected that the duration of the stall current of the awning motor is greater than the duration threshold, the awning motor is controlled to reversely drive the awning to the open position.

[0184] In this embodiment, the awning controller will monitor in real time whether the awning motor has a stall current during the process of controlling the awning to open or close, and trigger the timing of the duration when a stall current occurs. When the duration is greater than the duration threshold, it is determined that the awning has encountered an obstacle and the anti-pinch function will be triggered.

[0185] Specifically, when the anti-pinch function is triggered, if the canopy is in the process of opening, in order to allow the obstacle to smoothly leave the canopy, the canopy motor will be controlled to drive the canopy in reverse for a preset distance, that is, drive the canopy to move in the closing direction for a preset distance; and when the anti-pinch function is triggered, if the canopy is in the process of closing, it means that the user may have the need to continue moving the cargo box. At this time, the canopy motor will be directly controlled to drive the canopy in reverse to the open position, so that the user does not need to re-trigger the canopy opening request.
