[0053] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative work.

[0055] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of a vehicle control device in one embodiment of the present application.

[0056] Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a vehicle control system in one embodiment of the present application.

[0057] Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of a vehicle in one embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.

[0060] Since conventional pickup trucks lack rainproof devices, some pickup trucks choose to install a canopy on the top of the cargo box to protect the cargo in the cargo box in order to cope with various rainy and snowy weather. In order to achieve a comprehensive protection effect, the canopy needs to cover a part of the tailgate when it is closed. At this time, the canopy will inevitably interfere with the tailgate, that is, when the canopy is closed, the cargo box tailgate will not be able to open or close smoothly.

[0061] In the prior art, both the awning and the tailgate usually require manual operation by the driver. When the awning and the tailgate interfere with each other, the user needs to manually lift the awning and then manually open or close the tailgate, which is inconvenient for the user to operate, especially when transporting goods, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0062] In response to the problem that the tailgate of the cargo box cannot be opened or closed smoothly when the vehicle canopy is in the closed state, the present application aims to provide a vehicle control method that can achieve linkage control between the canopy and the tailgate, so that when the user controls the tailgate, the canopy can be automatically opened without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby effectively avoiding interference between the canopy and the tailgate and achieving rapid startup and closing of the tailgate, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 , showing a vehicle control method of the present application, the method may include the following steps:

[0064] S101: In response to a tailgate control request triggered by a user, a current awning state of the awning is obtained.

[0065] 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.

[0066] It should be further explained that the vehicle can be a pickup truck, a truck or other vehicle type equipped with a canopy and a cargo box tailgate, wherein the canopy is provided with a canopy controller and a canopy motor; the tailgate is provided with a tailgate controller and a tailgate motor. Specifically, the CEM is connected to the canopy controller and the tailgate controller respectively. The canopy controller is used to control the canopy motor to drive the canopy to open or close according to the canopy control instruction sent by the CEM; the tailgate controller is used to control the tailgate motor to drive the tailgate to open or close according to the tailgate control instruction sent by the CEM.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the canopy is arranged above the cargo box of the vehicle, 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 canopy to rotate along the mounting groove by controlling the extension or contraction of the first supporting member, so as to realize the opening or closing of the canopy.

[0068] 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.

[0069] It should be noted that this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on the hardware implementation method of opening or closing the canopy.

[0070] In this embodiment, the user can trigger the tailgate control request in a variety of ways according to his or her tailgate usage needs. For example, the user can trigger the preset tailgate button on the smart key, or trigger the micro switch pre-set on the tailgate, or trigger the preset virtual button on the central control display, or directly issue a voice command to send a tailgate control request to the CEM. The CEM responds to the tailgate control request triggered by the user and obtains the current canopy status of the canopy to determine whether the canopy interferes with the tailgate.

[0071] S102: When the current awning state is closed, control the awning to open to the target position.

[0072] In this embodiment, after detecting that the awning is in the closed state, the CEM determines that the awning has interfered with the tailgate. At this time, the CEM will automatically control the awning to open to the target position to eliminate the interference.

[0073] In a specific implementation, after detecting that the awning is in a closed state, the CEM will send an awning opening instruction to the awning controller, so that the awning controller responds to the awning opening instruction and controls the awning motor to drive the awning to open to the target position.

[0074] It should be noted that if CEM detects that the awning is in the open state, it determines that the awning does not interfere with the tailgate. At this time, CEM will generate a corresponding tailgate control instruction based on the tailgate control request triggered by the user, and send the tailgate control instruction to the tailgate controller.

[0075] S103: When it is detected that the awning has been opened to the target position, the tailgate is controlled to perform an action corresponding to the tailgate control request.

[0076] In this embodiment, during the process of controlling the opening of the awning through the awning controller, the CEM will obtain the current awning status feedback from the awning controller in real time, and then after detecting that the awning has been opened to the target position, it determines that the awning has been released from interference. At this time, the corresponding tailgate control instruction will be sent to the tailgate controller, so that the tailgate controller drives the tailgate motor to execute the action corresponding to the tailgate control request, thereby realizing control of the tailgate.

[0077] The embodiment of the present application provides a canopy linkage function to achieve linkage control between the canopy and the tailgate, so that when the user controls the tailgate, the canopy can be automatically opened without the need for manual operation by the user. This can effectively avoid interference between the canopy and the tailgate and simultaneously achieve rapid startup and closing of the tailgate, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0078] In a feasible implementation, S101 may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0079] S101-1: Responding to a tailgate control request triggered by a user, obtaining vehicle status information;

[0080] In this embodiment, in order to avoid user's accidental triggering and ensure vehicle safety, after obtaining the tailgate control request triggered by the user, the CEM will collect the vehicle's status information and then determine whether the tailgate can be operated.

[0081] S101-2: When the status information satisfies the tailgate control condition, the current awning status is obtained.

[0082] In this embodiment, after the CEM determines that the status information meets the tailgate control condition, it indicates that the user has a need to use the tailgate. At this time, the CEM will further obtain the current awning status to determine whether the awning interferes with the tailgate.

[0083] In a specific implementation, the status information may include the current vehicle speed and the smart key information. That is, when the CEM detects that the current vehicle speed is less than or equal to the vehicle speed threshold and the smart key information indicates that the smart key is within a preset range, it determines that the status information meets the tailgate control condition.

[0084] In this embodiment, the vehicle speed threshold can be set to 5km / h. That is, when the current vehicle speed is greater than 5km / h, the operation corresponding to the tailgate control request will not be performed to ensure the safety of vehicle use and the safety of user operation. By detecting the current vehicle speed, the tailgate control request triggered by the user in a high-speed driving state is invalidated, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of vehicle use, and allowing the user to operate the tailgate when the vehicle is stopped or driving at a very low speed, thereby improving the operability and safety of the tailgate.

[0085] In this embodiment, by detecting the smart key, the tailgate of the vehicle can be operated under the supervision of the user, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle.

[0086] In a specific implementation, CEM will send detection information to the smart key according to a preset detection cycle, and determine the target distance between the smart key and the vehicle based on the feedback information returned by the smart key for the detection information, and determine that the smart key is within a preset range when the target distance is less than the distance threshold. The preset range is a range area with the vehicle as the center and the distance threshold as the radius. For example, the distance threshold can be set to 5 meters.

[0087] In a feasible implementation manner, the tailgate control request includes a tailgate opening request and a tailgate closing request; S102 may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0088] S102-1: When the tailgate control request is a tailgate opening request, control the awning to open to a first target position.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the user has a demand to open the tailgate, it is usually necessary to move goods. At this time, in order to facilitate the user to perform the moving operation, the CEM will control the awning to open to the first target position.

[0090] In this embodiment, the distance between the first target position and the closed position of the canopy can be set as the first preset distance. For example, the first preset distance can be set to the maximum distance that the canopy can be opened. In this case, the first target position is the fully open position of the canopy.

[0091] In this embodiment, after obtaining the tailgate opening request triggered by the user, the CEM controls the awning to open to the first target position, which can not only effectively avoid the awning from interfering with the tailgate, but also further avoid blocking the user from carrying goods without opening the awning separately, that is, realizing the function of opening the tailgate and awning with one click.

[0092] S102-2: When the tailgate control request is a tailgate closing request, control the awning to open to a second target position.

[0093] In this embodiment, considering that when the user has a need to close the tailgate, the user usually does not have a need to carry the canopy. At this time, in order to achieve rapid closing of the tailgate, the CEM will control the canopy to open to the second target position.

[0094] In this embodiment, the distance between the second target position and the closed position of the canopy can be set as a second preset distance, wherein the second preset distance is less than or equal to the first preset distance. Preferably, the second preset distance can be set as the minimum opening distance, which represents the minimum distance at which the canopy will not interfere with the tailgate. In other words, the CEM will not control the canopy to open to the fully open position, but to open to a distance that will not interfere with the tailgate. In this way, when the canopy is quickly opened to the minimum opening distance, the tailgate can be controlled to close, and after the tailgate is closed, the canopy can also be quickly closed, thereby effectively improving the closing efficiency of the tailgate as a whole.

[0095] In a specific implementation, when the awning can move up and down parallel to the cargo box, the awning can be opened to a first target position by controlling the awning to rise a first preset distance; or the awning can be opened to a second target position by controlling the awning to rise a second preset distance.

[0096] In a specific implementation, when the side of the canopy close to the cab is reversibly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove set on the cargo box, the canopy can be controlled to open to the first target position or the second target position by controlling the canopy to rotate along the bottom of the groove to a corresponding angle. For example, when the opening angle corresponding to the first target position is 80°, the canopy can be controlled to open to the first target position by controlling the canopy to rotate upward 80° along the bottom of the groove; when the opening angle corresponding to the second target position is 20°, the canopy can be controlled to open to the second target position by controlling the canopy to rotate upward 20° along the bottom of the groove.

[0097] It should be noted that the first target position and the second target position of the awning can be set according to actual needs. It only needs to meet the condition that the awning at the first target position or the second target position does not interfere with the tailgate. This embodiment does not make specific restrictions.

[0098] In this embodiment, CEM controls the awning to open to different target positions according to the two situations of the tailgate being open and the tailgate being closed, which can further meet the user's usage needs and is more humane and intelligent.

[0099] In a feasible implementation manner, after step S103, the vehicle control method may further include the following steps:

[0100] S104: When the tailgate control request is a tailgate closing request, obtain the current state of the tailgate.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the user has a need to close the tailgate, it is usually because the transportation has been completed or there is no need to use the vehicle. At this time, after the tailgate is quickly closed, the CEM will control the awning to close accordingly.

[0102] In a specific implementation, the CEM will obtain the current state of the tailgate fed back by the tailgate controller to determine whether the tailgate is fully closed.

[0103] S105: When the current status indicates that the tailgate has moved to the closed state, the awning is controlled to move to the closed position.

[0104] In this embodiment, after detecting that the tailgate has moved to the closed state, the CEM will send a canopy closing instruction to the canopy controller, so that the canopy controller responds to the canopy controller and controls the canopy to move to the closed position.

[0105] In this embodiment, the CEM controls the awning to close along with the closing of the tailgate, so that the user does not need to manually control the awning to close after the tailgate is closed, that is, the function of closing the tailgate and awning with one button is realized.

[0106] In one example, when the user needs to control the tailgate to close, he can send a tailgate closing request to the vehicle through the smart key, or send a tailgate closing request to the vehicle through voice or touching the micro switch when carrying goods. After obtaining the tailgate closing request and detecting that the vehicle meets the tailgate control conditions, the CEM will send a canopy opening instruction to the canopy controller to control the canopy to open to the second target position, and then send a tailgate closing instruction to the tailgate controller to control the tailgate to close. After detecting that the tailgate is closed, the CEM will send a canopy closing instruction to the canopy controller to control the canopy to close automatically, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the cargo box and achieving effective protection of the goods in the cargo box.

[0107] In a feasible implementation manner, the vehicle control method may further include the following steps:

[0108] S201: During the operation of the canopy, obtaining a first duration of the stall current of the canopy motor; and / or, during the operation of the tailgate, obtaining a second duration of the stall current of the tailgate motor.

[0109] 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 first duration when a stall current occurs. When the first duration is greater than the first duration threshold, a first prompt signal is sent to the CEM, and the first prompt signal is used to indicate that the awning has encountered an obstacle.

[0110] In this embodiment, the tailgate controller monitors in real time whether a stall current occurs in the tailgate motor during the process of controlling the opening or closing of the tailgate, and triggers the timing of the second duration when a stall current occurs. When the second duration is greater than the second duration threshold, a second prompt signal is sent to the CEM, and the second prompt signal is used to indicate that the tailgate encounters an obstacle.

[0111] It should be noted that the second duration threshold may be the same as or different from the first duration threshold. Specifically, when the tailgate motor and the canopy motor have the same stall current protection time, the second duration threshold and the first duration threshold may be set to be the same; when the tailgate motor and the canopy motor have different stall current protection times, different duration thresholds may be set according to their corresponding stall current protection times. Among them, the first duration is less than or equal to the stall current protection time corresponding to the canopy motor, and the second duration is less than or equal to the stall current protection time corresponding to the tailgate motor.

[0112] S202: When the first duration is greater than a first duration threshold, and / or when the second duration is greater than a second duration threshold, control the awning and the tailgate to stop moving.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the CEM detects that any one or all of the awning and the tailgate encounter an obstacle, it will trigger the linkage anti-pinch function, thereby simultaneously controlling the awning and the tailgate to stop moving.

[0114] In the specific implementation, when the linkage anti-pinch function is triggered, if the canopy or the tailgate is in the closing process, it means that the user may have the need to continue carrying the cargo box and actively prevent the canopy or the tailgate from closing. At this time, the canopy motor is controlled to reverse drive the canopy to the open position or the tailgate motor is controlled to reverse drive the tailgate to the open position, so that the user does not need to re-trigger the canopy opening request or the tailgate opening request.

[0115] In the specific implementation, when the linkage anti-pinch function is triggered, if the awning or the tailgate is in the closing process, in order to allow the obstacle to smoothly leave the awning, the awning motor will be controlled to drive the awning to rotate in the opposite direction at a preset angle, or the tailgate motor will be controlled to drive the tailgate to rotate in the opposite direction at a preset angle.

[0116] In this embodiment, by triggering the linkage anti-pinch function when any or all of the awning and the tailgate encounter obstacles, it is possible to effectively ensure the user's operational safety while avoiding damage to the awning motor and the tailgate motor caused by the stall current lasting too long.

[0117] In the second aspect, based on the same inventive concept, refer to Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control device 200, wherein the vehicle includes a canopy disposed above a cargo box and a tailgate disposed at the rear end of the cargo box, wherein the canopy and the tailgate are in a closed state, and part or all of the tailgate is located inside the canopy, and the vehicle control device 200 includes:
