Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[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 clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts 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, with the cargo box side panels integrated into the cab. A pickup truck is a dual-purpose vehicle with a front similar to a sedan and a cargo box at the back.

[0060] Because conventional pickup trucks lack rain protection, some trucks install a canopy on top of the cargo box to protect the cargo inside in rainy and snowy conditions. To achieve comprehensive protection, the canopy needs to cover a portion of the tailgate when closed. However, this interferes with the tailgate, preventing it from opening or closing smoothly when the canopy is closed.

[0061] In the existing technology, 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. This is especially inconvenient for the user to operate 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 realize the 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 smoothly realizing the rapid start-up and rapid closing of the tailgate, effectively improving the user experience.

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

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

[0065] It should be noted that the execution entity of this embodiment is the vehicle's central controller, an electronic device with data processing, network communication, and program execution capabilities, such as an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), BCM (Body Control Module), or CEM (Central Electronic Module). This embodiment will be described using the CEM as the execution entity. The CEM integrates existing controllers such as the BCM, GW (gateway), and ALCM (ambient light controller), serving as the main control unit for the vehicle body. It implements functions such as message routing and forwarding, body control, and network management.

[0066] It should be further clarified that the vehicle can be a pickup truck, truck, or other vehicle equipped with a canopy and a tailgate. The canopy is equipped with a canopy controller and a canopy motor, while the tailgate is equipped 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 open or close the canopy based on canopy control commands sent by the CEM, while the tailgate controller is used to control the tailgate motor to open or close the tailgate based on tailgate control commands sent by the CEM.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the canopy is installed above the vehicle's cargo box. A mounting slot is provided on the side of the cargo box near the cab. The side of the canopy near the cab is reversibly connected to the bottom of the mounting slot. Retractable first supports are provided on both sides of the canopy, respectively connected to the two side panels of the cargo box. The first supports are connected to a canopy motor. The motor controls the extension or retraction of the first supports to rotate the canopy along the mounting slot, thereby opening or closing 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 of opening or closing the canopy.

[0070] In this embodiment, users can trigger tailgate control requests in a variety of ways based on their tailgate usage needs. For example, users can trigger a tailgate control request to the CEM by triggering a preset tailgate button on the smart key, a micro switch pre-installed on the tailgate, a preset virtual button on the central control display, or directly issuing a voice command. In response to the user-triggered tailgate control request, the CEM obtains the current canopy status to determine whether the canopy is interfering with the tailgate.

[0071] S102: When the awning is currently closed, control the awning to open to a 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 the 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 the CEM detects that the awning is in the open state, it determines that the awning does not interfere with the tailgate. At this time, the 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, when the CEM controls the opening of the awning through the awning controller, it 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 will determine that the awning has been released from interference. At this time, the corresponding tailgate control instruction will be sent to the tailgate controller to enable the tailgate controller to drive 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, which 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. While effectively avoiding interference between the canopy and the tailgate, the tailgate can be quickly started and closed, 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, to avoid user mis-triggering and ensure vehicle safety, after receiving the tailgate control request triggered by the user, the CEM will collect vehicle 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 smart key information. That is, the CEM determines that the status information meets the tailgate control condition when it 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.

[0084] In this embodiment, the vehicle speed threshold can be set to 5 km / h. That is, when the current vehicle speed exceeds 5 km / h, the tailgate control request will not be executed, ensuring vehicle safety and user operational safety. By detecting the current vehicle speed, tailgate control requests triggered by the user at high speeds are invalidated, effectively ensuring vehicle safety. At the same time, the user can operate the tailgate when the vehicle is stopped or traveling at very low speeds, improving tailgate operability and safety.

[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, the CEM sends detection information to the smart key at a preset detection interval. Based on the feedback from the smart key regarding the detection information, it determines the target distance between the smart key and the vehicle. If the target distance is less than a distance threshold, the smart key is determined to be within a preset range. The preset range is the 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 embodiment, 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, considering that when a user has a demand to open the tailgate, it is usually necessary to transport goods. At this time, in order to facilitate the user's transport 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 a first preset distance. For example, the first preset distance can be set to the maximum distance 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 receiving 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 prevent 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 move 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 to a second preset distance, where 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 does not interfere with the tailgate. In other words, the CEM will not control the canopy to open to the fully open position, but only to a distance that does 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. After the tailgate is closed, the canopy can also be quickly closed, thereby effectively improving the overall closing efficiency of the tailgate.

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

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

[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 demands to close the tailgate, it is usually when the transportation is completed or there is no need to use the vehicle. In this case, 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 status of the tailgate fed back by the tailgate controller to determine whether the tailgate is closed in place.

[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 a user needs to close the tailgate, they can send a tailgate closing request to the vehicle using the smart key. Alternatively, if the user is carrying cargo, they can send a tailgate closing request to the vehicle by voice or by touching a microswitch. After receiving the tailgate closing request and detecting that the vehicle meets the tailgate control conditions, the CEM sends a canopy opening command to the canopy controller to open the canopy to the second target position, and then sends a tailgate closing command to the tailgate controller to close the tailgate. Once the CEM detects that the tailgate is closed, it sends a canopy closing command to the canopy controller to automatically close the canopy, thereby preventing rain from entering the cargo box and effectively protecting the cargo inside.

[0107] In a feasible embodiment, 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, when controlling the opening or closing of the awning, the awning controller will monitor in real time whether the awning motor has a stall current, and when a stall current occurs, it will trigger the timing of the first duration. When the first duration is greater than the first duration threshold, a first prompt signal will be sent to the CEM. 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 can 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 can be set to the same; when the tailgate motor and the canopy motor have different stall current protection times, different duration thresholds can be set based on their respective stall current protection times. 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 both 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 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 tailgate from closing. At this time, the canopy motor will be controlled to reverse drive the canopy to the open position or the tailgate motor will be 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 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 of the preset angle or the tailgate motor will be controlled to drive the tailgate to rotate in the opposite direction of the preset angle.

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