Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle configuration, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and readable storage medium for configuring instruments in a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with continuous technological development and users' close attention to fuel costs, commercial vehicles are using an increasing variety of fuels, including diesel, liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and dual-fuel (LNG and CNG). Natural gas fuels involve single or multiple cylinders, and the instrument display methods differ depending on the fuel type and number of cylinders. Information related to the vehicle's fuel or natural gas is crucial for users and must be displayed accurately. Incorrect or unreadable information not only affects driving safety but also leads to user complaints.

[0003] In related technologies, the problem of inaccurate vehicle instrument displays is usually solved by increasing the number of instrument model numbers. However, as fuel types and the number of gas cylinders gradually increase, continuously adding instrument model numbers to match requires ongoing investment in management and technological development, increasing the overall cost of the vehicle. Furthermore, since simply adding instrument model numbers solves the inaccuracy problem, the instrument displays produced in vehicles have low versatility. Therefore, there is a technical problem of low instrument versatility during vehicle manufacturing.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for configuring an instrument in a vehicle is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a method for configuring an instrument panel in a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S101: Obtain material information for the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0027] In the technical solution provided in step S101 of the present invention, the material information is used to indicate the materials required to manufacture the vehicle to be manufactured. The material information can also be called a Bill of Materials (BOM). For example, the material information may include, but is not limited to: material number, material type, material name, specifications, etc. The vehicle to be manufactured may also be referred to as a vehicle in the following context.

[0028] In this embodiment, the material information of the vehicle to be manufactured is obtained, for example, by obtaining the material information through a product data management system. This is only an example and does not limit the specific method of obtaining the material information of the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0029] For example, when a vehicle's data system is being built, the product data management system is used to add classification attributes for the vehicle's fuel type and the number of gas cylinders. The fuel type and the number of gas cylinders in the classification attributes correspond one-to-one with the configuration items in the instrument cluster diagnostic protocol; thus, the product data management system is used to obtain material information.

[0030] Optionally, obtaining material information about the vehicles to be manufactured can help to develop more accurate production plans and ensure that resources are allocated rationally at each stage of production.

[0031] Step S102: Based on the material information, determine the energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0032] In the technical solution provided by step S102 of the present invention, energy information is used to indicate the energy required for the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0033] In this embodiment, the energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured is determined based on the material information of the vehicle to be manufactured obtained in step S101. For example, the energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured can be determined by parsing the material information through a commercial vehicle BOM system. This is only an exemplary example and does not limit the specific method for determining the energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0034] Optionally, energy information may include, but is not limited to, attributes such as fuel oil and natural gas, their specific types, and the number of gas cylinders.

[0035] For example, the commercial vehicle BOM system receives vehicle data from the product data management system, that is, the material information is parsed to determine the vehicle's fuel type and the number of gas cylinders, etc.

[0036] Optionally, by analyzing material information, the energy information required by the vehicle can be accurately identified, thereby enabling the vehicle to be equipped with appropriate instruments to ensure that the instruments can correctly display the vehicle's energy status.

[0037] Step S103: Based on energy information, configure instruments for the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0038] In the technical solution provided in step S103 of the present invention, the instrument is used to display energy information, and the instrument can also be called a combination instrument.

[0039] In this embodiment, after determining the energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured in step S102, the instrument panel is configured on the vehicle to be manufactured based on the energy information. For example, when the production vehicle rolls off the production line, the configuration parameter information in the instrument panel is automatically written through the off-line writing system. This is only an exemplary example and does not limit the specific method of configuring the instrument panel on the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0040] For example, after the commercial vehicle BOM system parses the energy information of the whole vehicle, the offline flashing system reads the energy information. When the whole vehicle rolls off the production line, the commercial vehicle BOM system connects to the offline flashing system to automatically flash the configuration information to the instrument cluster controller, thereby achieving the purpose of configuring the instrument.

[0041] Optionally, by configuring the instrument panel according to specific energy information, it can be ensured that the displayed information accurately matches the vehicle's energy needs and usage. This improves the accuracy of the information and helps the driver better manage the vehicle's energy use.

[0042] Step S104: Output energy information to the instrument.

[0043] In the technical solution provided by step S104 of the present invention, after configuring the instrument on the vehicle to be manufactured in step S103, energy information will be output to the instrument.

[0044] In this embodiment, by outputting energy information to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster can accurately display vehicle fuel-related information, allowing users to obtain energy information in a timely manner. This can help drivers avoid emergencies such as breakdowns due to insufficient energy and improve driving safety.

[0045] Optionally, outputting energy information to the instrument panel can not only help drivers better control the vehicle, but also improve the driving experience and safety, while also contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be implemented using a commercial vehicle multi-fuel precision display system.

[0047] In this embodiment, material information of the vehicle to be manufactured is obtained, wherein the material information indicates the materials required to manufacture the vehicle; based on the material information, energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured is determined, wherein the energy information indicates the energy required by the vehicle; based on the energy information, instruments are configured on the vehicle to be manufactured, wherein the instruments are used to display the energy information; and the energy information is output to the instruments. This application determines energy information through the material information of the vehicle to be manufactured, and thus configures the vehicle's instruments according to the energy information, avoiding the low instrument versatility caused by simply adding instrument models. Furthermore, because this application comprehensively configures the instruments during the vehicle manufacturing process, it achieves the goal of comprehensively configuring vehicle instruments, thereby solving the technical problem of low instrument versatility in vehicle manufacturing and realizing the technical effect of improving instrument versatility in vehicle manufacturing.

[0048] The method described in this embodiment will be further described below.

[0049] As an optional embodiment, step S103, configuring instruments on the vehicle to be manufactured based on energy information, includes: determining configuration information of the vehicle to be manufactured based on energy information, wherein the configuration information is used to indicate parameter information of the instruments configured on the vehicle to be manufactured; configuring instruments on the vehicle to be manufactured according to the configuration information.

[0050] In this embodiment, the configuration information of the vehicle to be manufactured is determined based on the energy information. For example, the configuration information of the vehicle to be manufactured is determined by parsing the energy information through the commercial vehicle BOM system. This is only an example and does not limit the specific method for determining the configuration information of the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0051] Optionally, the configuration information includes, but is not limited to: fuel oil and natural gas, their specific types, and the number of gas cylinders.

[0052] For example, the commercial vehicle BOM system receives material information from the product data management system and parses it to extract classification attribute values ​​for fuel type and cylinder quantity. For instance, fuel type can be divided into: fuel oil (marked as 00), dual-fuel LNG+CNG (marked as 01), LNG (marked as 10), CNG (marked as 11) and reserved; LNG cylinder quantity: 0 (marked as 000), 1 (marked as 001), 2 (marked as 010), 3 (marked as 011), 4 (marked as 100) and reserved; CNG cylinder quantity: 0 (marked as 00), 1 (marked as 01), 2 (marked as 10), 3 (marked as 11) and reserved, etc.

[0053] Optionally, after determining the configuration information of the vehicle to be manufactured, instruments are configured on the vehicle according to the configuration information. The specific configuration method is described later.

[0054] Optionally, by configuring the instrument based on the vehicle's energy information (such as fuel type, battery capacity, energy efficiency, etc.), energy efficiency can be better optimized, allowing the driver to understand the vehicle's energy consumption in real time and thus adopt a more energy-efficient driving style.

[0055] As an optional embodiment, configuring instruments on the vehicle to be manufactured according to configuration information includes: obtaining the production status of the vehicle to be manufactured; and configuring instruments on the vehicle to be manufactured according to configuration information in response to the production status being offline.

[0056] In this embodiment, the production status of the vehicle to be manufactured is obtained. When the production status of the vehicle to be manufactured is "off-line status", it usually means that the vehicle has completed all manufacturing steps on the production line and has been removed from the production line, ready for final quality inspection, configuration or delivery. Based on this, instruments are configured on the vehicle to be manufactured according to the configuration information.

[0057] For example, when a vehicle rolls off the production line, the off-line flashing system automatically flashes the configuration information to the instrument cluster controller.

[0058] Optionally, equipping the vehicle with an instrument cluster when it rolls off the production line allows for better quality control, ensuring that the instrument cluster's functions and displays meet specifications and standards.

[0059] As an optional embodiment, the method for configuring instruments in a vehicle further includes: obtaining the fault status of the instrument; in response to the fault status of the instrument being an abnormal state, obtaining the manufacturing status of the vehicle to be manufactured; in response to the manufacturing status being a manufacturing completion state, obtaining the replacement new instrument and configuration information; and configuring the new instrument to the vehicle to be manufactured according to the configuration information.

[0060] In this embodiment, the fault status of the instrument is obtained. When the fault status of the instrument is abnormal, it indicates that the instrument has malfunctioned. Based on this, the manufacturing status of the vehicle to be manufactured is obtained, and further processing methods are determined according to the manufacturing status of the vehicle to be manufactured.

[0061] Optionally, when the manufacturing status of the vehicle to be manufactured is "manufacturing completed", it means that the vehicle has been shipped. If the instrument malfunctions, a new instrument needs to be replaced. Based on this, the replacement instrument and configuration information are obtained; and the new instrument is configured for the vehicle to be manufactured according to the configuration information.

[0062] For example, if the instrument panel malfunctions and requires repair or replacement during subsequent vehicle use, the service station can use a diagnostic tool to re-encode the instrument panel's configuration information to ensure that the instrument panel can accurately display the vehicle's fuel-related information.

[0063] Optionally, when the manufacturing status of the vehicle to be manufactured is completed, the replacement of the new instrument and configuration information is obtained; then, according to the configuration information, the new instrument is configured to the vehicle to be manufactured. This application realizes the accurate display of the vehicle's fuel information by utilizing the existing design production system and combined instrument, without the need for additional development of configuration flashing tools, which brings benefits to users and reduces development costs.

[0064] As an optional embodiment, the method for configuring instruments in a vehicle further includes: in response to a manufacturing state being an incomplete manufacturing state, determining and outputting fault information, wherein the fault information is used to indicate a fault in the instrument.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the manufacturing status of the vehicle to be manufactured is incomplete, it indicates that the vehicle is in the manufacturing state. At this time, the instrument may have problems such as quality defects. Based on this, the fault information of the instrument is determined and the determined fault information is output.

[0066] Optionally, by identifying and resolving instrument malfunctions early, problems can be corrected in a timely manner during the production process, thereby improving the overall production quality of vehicles.

[0067] As an optional embodiment, step S102, based on the material information, determines the energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured, including: parsing the material information to obtain at least one of the following energy information: fuel, gas and gas cylinder quantity.

[0068] In this embodiment, the material information is parsed to obtain energy information. For example, energy information can be extracted from the vehicle material information using natural language processing technology through a commercial vehicle BOM system. This is only an example and does not limit the specific method for obtaining energy information.

[0069] Optionally, by analyzing the material information to determine the energy information, the instrument can be configured based on the energy information, thereby improving the accuracy of the instrument configuration.

[0070] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be implemented using a commercial vehicle multi-fuel precision display system.

[0071] The method for configuring instruments in a vehicle provided in this application involves acquiring material information of the vehicle to be manufactured, wherein the material information indicates the materials required to manufacture the vehicle; determining energy information of the vehicle to be manufactured based on the material information, wherein the energy information indicates the energy required by the vehicle; configuring instruments in the vehicle to be manufactured based on the energy information, wherein the instruments are used to display the energy information; and outputting the energy information to the instruments. This application determines energy information based on the material information of the vehicle to be manufactured, and thus configures the vehicle's instruments according to the energy information. This avoids the low instrument versatility caused by simply adding instrument models. Furthermore, because this application comprehensively configures the instruments during the vehicle manufacturing process, it achieves the goal of comprehensively configuring vehicle instruments, thereby solving the technical problem of low instrument versatility in vehicle manufacturing and realizing the technical effect of improving instrument versatility in vehicle manufacturing.

[0072] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be illustrated below with reference to preferred embodiments.

[0073] Currently, with continuous technological development and users' close attention to fuel costs, commercial vehicles are using an increasing variety of fuels, including diesel, liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), and dual-fuel vehicles. Natural gas fuel involves single-cylinder and multi-cylinder systems, and the instrument display methods differ depending on the fuel type and number of cylinders. Information related to the vehicle's fuel or natural gas is crucial for users and must be displayed accurately. Incorrect or non-existent display not only affects driving safety but also leads to user complaints.

[0074] In related technologies, the problem of inaccurate vehicle instrument displays is usually solved by increasing the number of instrument model numbers. However, as fuel types and the number of gas cylinders gradually increase, continuously adding instrument model numbers to match requires ongoing investment in management and technological development, increasing the overall cost of the vehicle. Furthermore, since simply adding instrument model numbers solves the inaccuracy problem, the instrument displays produced in vehicles have low versatility. Therefore, there is a technical problem of low instrument versatility during vehicle manufacturing.

[0075] There is currently no effective solution to the problem of low instrument versatility in vehicle manufacturing processes.

[0076] However, this invention proposes a method for accurate display of multiple fuel types on commercial vehicle instruments. Starting from the initial vehicle configuration, when building the vehicle configuration in the vehicle product data management system, the fuel type and cylinder quantity are transmitted as product classification attributes to the commercial vehicle BOM system. The accurate fuel type and cylinder quantity configuration is then written after the vehicle is manufactured, and the instrument displays the correct information based on this data. This achieves the goal of configuring the vehicle's instruments during the manufacturing process, thus solving the problem of low instrument versatility in vehicle manufacturing and improving the technical effect of instrument versatility during vehicle manufacturing.

[0077] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below.

[0078] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a multi-fuel precision display system for commercial vehicles according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the commercial vehicle multi-fuel precision display system 200 includes: a product data management system 201, a commercial vehicle BOM system 202, an offline flashing system 203, a combination instrument assembly 204, and a diagnostic tool 205.

[0079] Product Data Management System 201, used to mark vehicle parts.

[0080] Optionally, due to the fuel and gas engines and corresponding sensors, this information can be marked on the component products according to the product classification attributes through the product data management system 201, and the classification attributes can be transmitted to the commercial vehicle BOM system 202.

[0081] Commercial vehicle BOM system 202 is used to parse the entire vehicle BOM.

[0082] Optionally, the commercial vehicle BOM system 202 can parse out fuel vehicles and natural gas vehicles based on the vehicle model code and vehicle classification attributes. Based on the classification attributes, it can parse out the configuration information of fuel and natural gas of the vehicle model, as well as its specific type and number of gas cylinders.

[0083] The offline flashing system 203 is used to automatically flash the configuration items of various controllers in the vehicle.

[0084] Optionally, after obtaining the vehicle BOM information, when the vehicle is off the production line, the off-line flashing system 203 automatically flashes the configuration items of each controller of the vehicle.

[0085] The instrument cluster 204 is used to display vehicle and fuel-related information.

[0086] Optionally, the instrument cluster assembly 204 is developed through modular instrument cluster program development. Program modules for different fuel types and the number of gas cylinders can be matched accordingly based on the configuration information. The instrument cluster assembly 204 can accurately display the vehicle's fuel type, number of gas cylinders, remaining fuel, and corresponding fault information.

[0087] Diagnostic instrument 205 is used to rewrite configuration instruments.

[0088] Optionally, when a user's instrument panel malfunctions and requires repair or replacement, a diagnostic tool can be used to rewrite the configuration information of fuel and gas, including their specific types and the number of gas cylinders, to ensure that the instrument panel accurately displays vehicle fuel-related information.

[0089] Optionally, a Bill of Materials (BOM) is a detailed list of a product's components, including all parts, assemblies, and raw materials. For automotive manufacturing, the BOM lists all the parts required for a vehicle, from large body components to small screws and nuts. This list is crucial for production planning, procurement, and inventory management because it helps ensure that all necessary parts are available at the right time and place.

[0090] Alternatively, the vehicle's instrument cluster, also known as the dashboard or instrument panel, is a control panel located in front of the driver inside the car, displaying various information about the vehicle's operating status. This information typically includes: speedometer, tachometer, etc.

[0091] For example, a speedometer displays the vehicle's speed; a tachometer displays the engine's RPM; a fuel gauge displays the remaining fuel in the tank; a temperature gauge displays the engine coolant temperature; an odometer records the total mileage traveled, sometimes including short-distance trips; warning lights include various warning signs such as the engine malfunction indicator, oil pressure warning light, ABS warning light, and seatbelt unfastened indicator; other information on some modern car dashboards can also display navigation information, trip computer information, driving modes, tire pressure monitoring, etc.

[0092] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for accurate display of multiple fuel types on a commercial vehicle's instrument panel, according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3As shown, the method for accurate display of multiple fuel types in commercial vehicle instruments includes the following steps:

[0093] Step S301: Add fuel type and cylinder quantity classification attributes.

[0094] In this embodiment, the vehicle adds fuel type and gas cylinder quantity classification attributes through the product data management system.

[0095] Optionally, when building the data system for the vehicle, a classification attribute for the vehicle's fuel type and number of gas cylinders can be added to the product data management system. The fuel type and number of gas cylinders in the classification attribute correspond one-to-one with the configuration item information in the instrument cluster diagnostic protocol.

[0096] Optionally, fuel oil and gas type refer to the specific type of fuel oil or gas used in the product. For example, fuel oil can include diesel, gasoline, etc., while gas can include natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), etc. Adding this attribute helps identify and classify products, allowing for management and optimization based on the required fuel type.

[0097] Optionally, there is a cylinder quantity classification attribute, which is typically used to describe the number of cylinders involved in the use or storage of the product.

[0098] Step S302: Parse the category attribute values ​​corresponding to the category attributes.

[0099] In this embodiment, the commercial vehicle BOM system parses the classification attribute values ​​corresponding to the classification attributes.

[0100] Optionally, the commercial vehicle BOM system receives and parses the vehicle data from the product data management system. The classification attribute information such as fuel type and gas cylinder quantity can be parsed out one by one. Table 1 is a schematic table showing the correspondence between classification attributes, production parsing and configuration item information. As shown in Table 1, the classification attribute parsing yields the classification attribute value, and the number in parentheses is the specific value of the configuration item of the corresponding instrument diagnostic protocol.

[0101] Table 1. Illustration of Category Attributes, Production Analysis, and Configuration Item Information

[0102]

[0103] Optionally, as shown in Table 1, the fuel types are divided into: fuel oil (00), dual-fuel LNG+CNG (01), LNG (10), CNG (11) and reserved. The number of LNG cylinders is: 0 (000), 1 (001), 2 (010), 3 (011), 4 (100) and reserved. The number of CNG cylinders is: 0 (00), 1 (01), 2 (10), 3 (11) and reserved. The specific configuration information can be found in the vehicle production BOM.

[0104] Step S303: Automatically rewrite the configuration information of the instrument.

[0105] In this embodiment, the offline flashing system reads the vehicle's BOM information and automatically flashes the instrument cluster configuration information, or a diagnostic tool is used to flash the instrument cluster configuration information.

[0106] Optionally, the vehicle information parsed by the commercial vehicle BOM system can be read by the offline flashing system. When the vehicle rolls off the production line, connecting to the offline flashing system can automatically flash the configuration information to the instrument cluster assembly controller.

[0107] Optionally, if the instrument panel malfunctions and requires repair or replacement during subsequent vehicle use, the service station can use a diagnostic tool to re-encode the instrument panel's configuration information to ensure that the instrument panel can accurately display the vehicle's fuel-related information.

[0108] Step S304: Accurately display the vehicle's fuel information based on the configuration information.

[0109] In this embodiment, the instrument panel accurately displays the vehicle's fuel information based on the configuration information.

[0110] Optionally, the instrument cluster has been pre-developed with program modules corresponding to fuel type and number of gas cylinders based on the configuration information of the diagnostic protocol. After the instrument cluster is taken offline and the system automatically flashes the configuration information, the instrument cluster can accurately display the vehicle's fuel-related information, and the vehicle can be put into storage normally after passing the inspection.

[0111] Optionally, the instrument panel can accurately display vehicle fuel-related information throughout the entire driving process, ensuring safe driving for the user.

[0112] Alternatively, as the type of fuel and the number of gas cylinders gradually increase, a common solution is to design a dedicated instrument panel model for specific vehicle configurations and fuel types. This ensures that the instrument panel accurately reflects the parameters and status of a specific vehicle, such as fuel level, speed, and engine speed.

[0113] Alternatively, while this approach can solve the problem, its drawback is the need to develop and manufacture different instrument cluster models for each configuration, leading to increased research and development and production costs. Furthermore, with the increasing variety of vehicles and fuel types, managing and maintaining these different instrument cluster models becomes more complex.

[0114] In this embodiment, when assembling the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the entire vehicle, this application adds classification attributes for fuel and natural gas, their specific types, and the number of gas cylinders through a product data management system. Then, the commercial vehicle BOM system parses the vehicle's production BOM list to display configuration parameters for fuel and natural gas, their specific types, and the number of gas cylinders. Finally, when the vehicle rolls off the production line, the configuration parameters are automatically updated through an offline flashing system. The instrument cluster accurately displays the vehicle's fuel-related information based on the configuration information, and vehicle testing ensures that the vehicle can accurately display this information even after leaving the factory. If the vehicle's instrument cluster is replaced or other problems arise, a concurrently developed diagnostic tool can directly flash the vehicle's fuel information onto the instrument cluster. Therefore, this application does not require the instrument cluster to power on and identify information such as the vehicle's fuel type and the number of gas cylinders; the accuracy of the instrument cluster's fuel-related information is guaranteed from the production design stage.

[0115] Optionally, this application not only utilizes existing design and production systems and instrument clusters to achieve accurate display of vehicle fuel information, but also eliminates the need for additional development of configuration flashing tools, bringing benefits to users.
