[0099] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0100] It should be noted that the pickup is a light-duty truck with a cab and a no-roof cargo box behind the cab, and the side plate of the cargo box is integrated with the cab. The pickup is a passenger and cargo dual-purpose car with a car-like front and a cargo box at the back.

[0101] Since the cargo box of the conventional pickup lacks a corresponding rainproof device, in order to cope with various rainy and snowy weather, a rain canopy is usually installed on the upper end of the cargo box of the pickup to protect the goods in the cargo box. However, such a rain canopy still needs to be manually lifted or closed by the driver, especially when transporting goods, which is not convenient for user operation and is difficult to quickly start and close the rain canopy, resulting in poor user experience.

[0102] In view of the problem in the related art that the vehicle rain canopy needs to be manually operated by the driver, resulting in poor user experience, the present application aims to provide a vehicle rain canopy control method and system, which can realize automatic control of the rain canopy, so that the user can quickly control the start and stop of the rain canopy according to the use demand of the rain canopy without manual operation, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0103] Reference Figure 1 , a vehicle rain canopy control method of the present application is shown, which is applied to a central controller. The method can include the following steps:

[0104] S101: In response to a rain canopy control request triggered by a user, detecting an intelligent key.

[0105] It should be noted that the execution subject of the present 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) and the like. The present embodiment will be described taking CEM as the execution subject. CEM integrates original BCM, GW (gateway), ALCM (ambience light controller) and other controllers, as the main control unit of the vehicle body, can realize the functions of message routing and forwarding, vehicle body control, network management and the like.

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

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

[0108] In a specific implementation, the canopy is arranged above the opening of the cargo box, the cargo box is provided with a mounting groove at the side close to the cab, the side of the canopy close to the cab is reversibly connected with the groove bottom of the mounting groove, and the canopy is provided with first extendable support members at two sides respectively and connected with two side aprons of the cargo box. The first support members are connected with a canopy motor, the canopy motor can control the first support members to extend or contract, control the side of the canopy close to the cab to rotate along the mounting groove, and the side of the canopy away from the cab is synchronously raised or lowered, thereby realizing opening or closing of the canopy.

[0109] In a specific implementation, second extendable support members can also be arranged at two sides of the canopy respectively and connected with two side aprons of the cargo box, and the canopy motor can control the second support members to extend or contract, control the canopy to rise or descend parallel to the cargo box, to realize opening or closing of the canopy.

[0110] It should be noted that the embodiment does not specifically limit the hardware implementation of opening or closing of the canopy.

[0111] In the embodiment, the user can trigger a canopy control request in multiple ways according to the user's own canopy use requirements. For example, the user can trigger a pre-set canopy button on the smart key, or trigger a pre-set micro switch on the canopy, or trigger a pre-set virtual button on the central control display screen, or directly issue a voice instruction, to send a canopy control request to the CEM. The CEM responds to the canopy control request triggered by the user to trigger detection of the smart key.

[0112] In a specific implementation, the CEM will send detection information to the smart key according to a pre-set detection period, and 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 continuous pre-set number of detection periods, it is determined that the smart key is not detected.

[0113] Further, 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 if the target distance is less than a first distance threshold. The first distance threshold can be set to 5 meters.

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

[0115] S102: In the case of detecting the smart key, the sunroof control instruction is sent to the sunroof controller, so that the sunroof controller acquires the state information of the vehicle in response to the sunroof control instruction, and controls the sunroof to perform the action corresponding to the sunroof control instruction in the case that the state information meets the sunroof control condition.

[0116] In the embodiment, after the CEM detects that the smart key is located in the safety area, the CEM will send the sunroof control instruction to the sunroof controller, and the sunroof controller will acquire the state information of the vehicle after receiving the sunroof control instruction to determine whether the sunroof can be operated accordingly.

[0117] Specifically, in order to avoid unnecessary additional wiring, the target state information in the state information that needs to be acquired by the sunroof controller will be acquired by the CEM, that is, the CEM will send the target state information to the sunroof controller at the same time when sending the sunroof control instruction. For example, when the current vehicle speed is included in the state information, the sunroof controller can acquire the current vehicle speed through the CEM, thereby not needing to arrange an additional data line for connecting the sunroof controller and the vehicle speed sensor.

[0118] In the embodiment, if the sunroof controller detects that the state information meets the sunroof control condition, the sunroof controller controls the sunroof to perform the action corresponding to the sunroof control instruction, which can specifically include the opening and closing of the sunroof. If the sunroof controller detects that the state information does not meet the sunroof control condition, the sunroof controller feeds back the corresponding failure prompt information, which is used to prompt the content in the state information that does not meet the sunroof control condition. For example, when the user triggers the sunroof opening request, if the current vehicle speed does not meet the corresponding sunroof control condition, the failure prompt information is fed back to prompt that the sunroof cannot be opened due to the too fast vehicle speed.

[0119] In the embodiment, by judging whether the state information meets the sunroof control condition, the false triggering can be effectively avoided, thereby realizing the automatic control of the sunroof under the premise of ensuring safety.

[0120] In the embodiment, by providing the user with the sunroof automatic control function, the user can realize the quick start and quick closing of the sunroof according to the sunroof use demand without manual operation, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0121] In an implementable embodiment, the canopy control request comprises a canopy opening request and a canopy closing request; the canopy control condition comprises a canopy opening condition and a canopy closing condition; S102 can specifically comprise the following sub-steps:

[0122] S102-1: in the case that the canopy control request is the canopy opening request, a canopy opening instruction is sent to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller acquires the state information of the vehicle in response to the canopy opening instruction, and controls the canopy to move to the opening position in the case that the state information meets the canopy opening condition.

[0123] S102-2: in the case that the canopy control request is the canopy closing request, a canopy closing instruction is sent to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller acquires the state information of the vehicle in response to the canopy closing instruction, and controls the canopy to move to the closing position in the case that the state information meets the canopy closing condition.

[0124] In the embodiment, the user can control the canopy controller to realize automatic opening of the canopy by triggering the canopy opening request; meanwhile, to ensure the safety of starting the canopy, the canopy opening condition is set for starting the canopy. The user can also control the canopy controller to realize automatic closing of the canopy by triggering the canopy closing request; meanwhile, to ensure the safety of closing the canopy, the canopy closing condition is set for closing the canopy.

[0125] In a specific implementation, in the case that the side of the canopy close to the cab is reversibly connected with the groove bottom of the mounting groove arranged on the cargo box, the canopy can be controlled to open or close by controlling the canopy to rotate by a corresponding angle along the groove bottom. For example, the canopy can be set to rotate by 0°, and the canopy is in the closing position; the canopy can be set to rotate by 80°, and the canopy is in the opening position. It should be noted that the opening angle or the closing angle of the canopy can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0126] In an example, when the user needs to carry the goods into the cargo box, the user can send a canopy opening request to the vehicle through the intelligent key, or send a canopy opening request to the vehicle through voice or touch of the micro switch while carrying the goods, and the CEM sends a canopy opening instruction to the canopy controller to make the canopy controller realize automatic opening of the canopy after acquiring the canopy opening request and detecting the presence of a legal intelligent key near the vehicle, so as to facilitate the user to carry the goods; and after the user finishes carrying the goods, it is observed that it is raining at this time, and then the user can send a canopy closing request to the vehicle through the intelligent key, and the CEM sends a canopy closing instruction to the canopy controller to make the canopy controller realize automatic closing of the canopy after acquiring the canopy closing request and detecting the presence of a legal intelligent key, so as to avoid rainwater from entering the cargo box and effectively protect the goods in the cargo box.

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

[0128] S103: Obtain the current canopy state information sent by the canopy controller.

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

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

[0131] In specific implementation, the current canopy state information can be displayed in various ways. For example, the vehicle instrument can be a central control display screen, or a prompt icon separately provided on the center console. Then, the CEM can display the current canopy state information through the central control display screen after obtaining the current canopy state information, or control the prompt icon to display the target pattern corresponding to the current canopy state information and flash. 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 canopy state information, the user can intuitively and conveniently observe the current state of the canopy.

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

[0134] S105: Obtain the current vehicle speed.

[0135] In this embodiment, the CEM will obtain the current vehicle speed after obtaining the current canopy state information sent by the canopy controller, and then determine whether the vehicle is currently at a relatively high speed.

[0136] S106: In the case that the current vehicle speed is greater than a first vehicle speed threshold and the current canopy state information is in an open state, output a first prompt information.

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

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

[0139] In the embodiment, by detecting the current vehicle speed and the current canopy state information in real time, timely reminding can be performed when it is detected that the canopy is not closed or not closed in place, so as to avoid the goods in the cargo box from being wetted by rain and snow or the goods from being damaged during high-speed driving.

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

[0141] S107: In the case where it is detected that the vehicle is in a locked state and the current canopy state information is in a closed state, position information of the smart key is acquired.

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

[0143] S108: In the case where the position information indicates that the smart key is located in the cargo box, second prompt information is output, and a second canopy opening instruction is sent to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller controls the canopy to move to an open position in response to the second canopy opening instruction.

[0144] In the embodiment, after acquiring the position information of the smart key, the CEM will calculate the relative distance between the smart key and the canopy, and in the case where the relative distance is less than a second distance threshold, it is determined that the position 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 the embodiment, after detecting that the smart key is located in the cargo box, the CEM will output the second prompt information to timely remind the user that the smart key is left in the cargo box, and automatically control the canopy to open to facilitate the user to find the smart key.

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

[0147] In the embodiment, by providing the canopy anti-mislocking function, timely reminding of the user and automatic opening of the canopy can be performed when it is detected that the smart key is left in the cargo box, so as to avoid the user from being unable to effectively open the vehicle due to difficulty in finding the smart key.

[0148] In a second aspect, based on the same inventive concept, referring to Figure 2The application further provides another vehicle canopy control method, which is applied to a canopy controller, and a vehicle box is provided with an opening at an upper end, and a canopy is arranged above the opening and can be opened or closed relative to the vehicle box to open or shield the opening. The method can include the following steps:

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

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

[0151] In the embodiment, the canopy controller is connected with the central controller and the canopy motor respectively, 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 a canopy control request triggered by a user, detection of the smart key, and detection of the smart key.

[0152] S202: acquiring state information of the vehicle in response to the canopy control instruction.

[0153] In the embodiment, to avoid user mis-triggering, the canopy controller will acquire the state information of the vehicle after receiving the canopy control instruction to determine whether the canopy can be operated accordingly.

[0154] S203: controlling the canopy to perform an action corresponding to the canopy control instruction in a case where the state information meets a canopy control condition.

[0155] In the embodiment, the canopy controller controls the canopy to perform an action corresponding to the canopy control instruction if it is detected that the state information meets the canopy control condition, which can specifically include opening and closing of the canopy; and feedbacks corresponding failure prompt information if it is detected that the state information does not meet the canopy control condition.

[0156] In the embodiment, by providing the user with an automatic canopy control function, the user can realize quick starting and quick closing of the canopy according to canopy use requirements without manual operation, thereby effectively improving the user's use experience.

[0157] In a feasible embodiment, the canopy control request includes a canopy opening request and a canopy closing request; the canopy control condition includes a canopy opening condition and a canopy closing condition; and S201 can specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0158] S201-A1: acquiring a canopy 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. That is, 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. That is, the user can trigger the awning closing request to control the awning to close automatically.

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

[0163] S202-A1: In response to the awning opening instruction, obtain the state information of the vehicle.

[0164] S202-A2: In response to the awning closing instruction, obtain the state information of the vehicle.

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

[0166] Specifically, the state information can include the current vehicle speed, the power mode, and the current awning state information. Among them, the current awning state information is obtained by the awning controller itself, and the current vehicle speed and the power mode can be obtained through the central controller.

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

[0168] S203-A1: In the case that the awning control instruction is the awning opening instruction and the state information meets the awning opening condition, control the awning to move to the opening position.

[0169] In a specific implementation, after receiving the awning opening instruction, if it is detected 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 awning state information is in the closed state, it is determined that the state information meets the awning opening condition; and then the awning is controlled to move to the opening position.

[0170] S203-A2: In the case that the awning control instruction is the awning closing instruction and the state information meets the awning closing condition, control the awning to move to the closed position.

[0171] In a specific implementation, after receiving the awning closing instruction, if it is detected 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 awning state information is in the opened state, it is determined that the state information meets the awning closing condition; and then the awning is controlled to move to the closed position.

[0172] It should be noted that the power mode represents the power operation mode of the whole vehicle, and can specifically include OFF mode, ACC mode, ON mode and CRANK mode.

[0173] In the embodiment, the second vehicle speed threshold can be set as 5Km / h, and the first preset mode can include OFF mode and ON mode. That is, when the vehicle is in a parking state or an extremely low-speed driving state, the sunroof is allowed to be opened or closed.

[0174] In a feasible embodiment, after the step of controlling the sunroof to act to the open position, the vehicle sunroof control method can further include the following steps:

[0175] S204-A: In the case that the current vehicle speed is greater than the second vehicle speed threshold, or the power mode is the second preset mode, or the sunroof reaches the open position before the sunroof opening instruction is acquired again, or the sunroof has reached the open position, the sunroof is controlled to stop acting.

[0176] In a specific implementation, the second preset mode can be set as 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 screwed to the bottom, i.e., the START position, to drag the engine. After successful ignition, it will return to the ON mode and start successfully. Because the generator suddenly works in the CRANK mode, the voltage of the storage battery may be suddenly high, and only after starting successfully will it return to the normal level. Therefore, during the sunroof opening process, if it is detected that the power mode is the CRANK mode, the sunroof needs to be controlled to stop acting, and after the vehicle exits the CRANK mode, the sunroof continues to open.

[0177] In the embodiment, during the sunroof opening process, if the above four conditions are encountered, the sunroof will be controlled to stop acting, which ensures the safety of the sunroof opening process and allows the user to control the opening angle of the sunroof. That is, the user can control the sunroof to stop at any time by triggering the sunroof opening instruction again during the sunroof opening process.

[0178] Further, after the step of controlling the sunroof to act to the open position, the vehicle sunroof control method can further include the following steps:

[0179] S204-B: In the case that the power mode is the second preset mode, or the sunroof reaches the closed position before the sunroof closing instruction is acquired again, or the sunroof has reached the closed position, the sunroof is controlled to stop acting.

[0180] In the present embodiment, during the closing process of the canopy, if the above four situations occur, the canopy will also be controlled to stop moving, thereby ensuring the safety of the closing process of the canopy and allowing the user to control the closing angle of the canopy. That is, the user can control the canopy to stop at any time during the closing process of the canopy by triggering the canopy closing instruction again.

[0181] In a feasible embodiment, the vehicle canopy control method can further include the following steps:

[0182] S205-A: During the process of controlling the canopy to move to the opening position, if it is detected that the duration of the locked-rotor current of the canopy motor is greater than the duration threshold, the canopy motor is controlled to drive the canopy in the reverse direction by a preset distance.

[0183] S205-B: During the process of controlling the canopy to move to the closing position, if it is detected that the duration of the locked-rotor current of the canopy motor is greater than the duration threshold, the canopy motor is controlled to drive the canopy to the opening position in the reverse direction.

[0184] In the present embodiment, the canopy controller will monitor whether the locked-rotor current of the canopy motor occurs during the process of controlling the canopy to open or close, and will trigger the timing of the duration when the locked-rotor current occurs. When the duration is greater than the duration threshold, it is determined that the canopy encounters 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 opening process, the canopy motor is controlled to drive the canopy in the reverse direction by a preset distance, i.e., to drive the canopy to move in the closing direction by a preset distance, so that the obstacle can smoothly escape from the canopy. When the anti-pinch function is triggered, if the canopy is in the closing process, it indicates that the user may have the need to continue to carry the cargo box, and at this time, the canopy motor is directly controlled to drive the canopy in the reverse direction to the opening position, so that the user does not need to trigger the canopy opening request again.
