Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of child seats, and in particular, to a child safety seat with an intelligent retractor device and a pre-tightening control method therefor. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the popularization and development of the transportation industry, the travel safety of children as special occupants has become an important research topic in the field of road traffic safety. Statistical data shows that the injury rate of minors aged 3 - 12 in traffic accidents is 47% higher than that of adults, and their casualties mostly result from the mismatch between the occupant restraint system and the physiological structure of children. Specifically, the traditional three-point seat belt is designed based on adult ergonomics, and there are significant adaptation contradictions with the immature musculoskeletal system of children; the adult seat belt may strangle a child's neck or injure internal organs during a collision. The existing child safety seats in the prior art use a five-point seat belt to fix children, thereby achieving the protection of children.

[0003] However, there are at least one of the following problems in the related art: Although the existing child seats can reduce most of the injuries, in the event of a high-speed or offset collision, they may not be able to fix the violent forward movement of the child occupant's body, resulting in insufficient protection for the occupant. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present invention is that although the existing child seats can reduce most of the injuries, in the event of a high-speed or offset collision, they may not be able to fix the violent forward movement of the child occupant's body, resulting in insufficient protection for the occupant.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pre-tightening control method for a child safety seat with an intelligent retractor device. The child safety seat is installed in a vehicle. The child safety seat includes a retractor device and a side wing protection device. The pre-tightening control method includes: obtaining the composite motion data of the child safety seat and the current speed data of the vehicle, and dynamically calculating a composite collision risk index; when the composite collision risk index exceeds a preset safety boundary value, controlling the retractor device to execute a first protection response strategy; obtaining the legal speed limit data of the road section where the vehicle is located, and when it is detected that the vehicle is in an overspeed state or the current speed data is greater than a preset safety speed, triggering the side wing protection device to deploy; after the first protection response strategy is executed, dynamically adjusting a buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and the composite motion data.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: By obtaining the composite motion data of the child safety seat and the current speed data of the driving vehicle, and dynamically calculating the composite collision risk index and comparing it with the preset safety boundary value, it is possible to more accurately determine whether there is a collision risk in the driving vehicle, reducing the possibility of false positives and false negatives. At the same time, after determining that there is a collision risk, the retractor device is controlled to execute the first protection response strategy. When it is detected that the driving vehicle is in an overspeed state or the current speed data is greater than the preset safety speed, the side wing protection device is triggered to deploy, which can better restrain the occupant before a collision occurs, thereby providing timely protection to the occupant and avoiding the violent forward impact of the occupant. After the first protection response strategy is executed, the buffer protection strategy is dynamically adjusted according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, which can better cope with different collision situations and effectively absorb and disperse the impact force generated by the collision.

[0007] In an example of the present invention, the driving vehicle is built-in with a CAN bus, and the child safety seat includes a three-axis acceleration sensor and a gyroscope sensor. Obtaining the composite motion data of the child safety seat and the current speed data of the driving vehicle, and dynamically calculating the composite collision risk index, including: obtaining the three-axis acceleration data of the child safety seat through the three-axis acceleration sensor, obtaining the yaw angular velocity data of the child safety seat through the gyroscope sensor, and obtaining the current speed data through the CAN bus; adopting a synchronous compensation strategy for the three-axis acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data through a clock error model, and calculating the composite collision risk index in combination with the current speed data; the calculation of the composite collision risk index satisfies the following formula 1; where formula 1 is: P = k1*(a x 2 + a y 2 + a z 2 ) 1 / 2 + k2*V + k3*Ω 2 ; where a x , a y and a z are respectively the three components of the three-axis acceleration data after adopting the synchronous compensation strategy; V is the current speed data; Ω is the yaw angular velocity data after adopting the synchronous compensation strategy; P is the composite collision risk index, k1 = 0.2, k2 = 0.05, k3 = 0.1.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: In the traditional method, due to the single data source, the calculation of the composite collision risk index is inaccurate. In the present invention, triaxial acceleration data is obtained through a triaxial acceleration sensor, yaw angular velocity data is obtained through a gyroscope sensor, and the current speed data is obtained through a CAN bus. Then, a synchronous compensation strategy is adopted for the triaxial acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data by using a clock error model, and the composite collision risk index is calculated in combination with the current speed data, solving the problem of time-base drift between multi-sensor samplings, improving the accuracy of data acquisition and processing, reducing the situations of misjudgment and missed judgment, and thus providing more reliable data support for collision risk judgment.

[0009] In an example of the present invention, the child safety seat is further provided with an inflatable buffer assembly; the buffer protection strategy is dynamically adjusted according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, including: if the current speed data reaches the high-speed interval threshold, activating the full-inflation mode of the inflatable buffer assembly; when it is detected that the current speed data drops to the safe speed threshold and the composite value of the triaxial acceleration data is less than the preset safe acceleration value, controlling the inflatable buffer assembly to execute a pressure gradient release strategy; when it is detected that the composite value of the triaxial acceleration data drops to zero and the current speed data drops to zero, controlling the inflatable buffer assembly to execute an exhaust reset strategy.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: In the traditional method, the buffer protection strategy cannot be adjusted specifically according to the current speed data and the triaxial acceleration data; this method dynamically adjusts the buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, improving the specificity and effectiveness of the buffer protection; in the case of a high-speed collision, more effective buffer protection measures are required. This method activates the full-inflation mode of the inflatable buffer assembly when the current speed data reaches the high-speed interval threshold, providing a stronger protection effect; in the case of a low-speed collision, over-inflation of the buffer assembly may cause resource waste and unnecessary injuries. This method controls the inflatable buffer assembly to execute a pressure gradient release strategy when it is detected that the current speed data drops to the safe speed threshold and the composite value of the triaxial acceleration data is less than the preset safe acceleration value, realizing reasonable control of the buffer assembly.

[0011] In an example of the present invention, before dynamically adjusting the buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, the pre-tightening control method further includes: obtaining the head image data of the occupant, generating the head orientation data of the occupant according to the head image data; determining the pop-up position of the inflatable buffer assembly according to the head orientation data.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: In the existing method, the buffer protection strategy cannot be adjusted personalized according to the specific posture or position of the occupant, resulting in poor buffering effect; In this method, by obtaining the head image data of the occupant, generating the head orientation data according to the head image data, and determining the pop-up position of the inflatable buffer component according to the head orientation data, the personalized adjustment of the buffer protection strategy is realized, ensuring that the buffer component can better protect the key parts of the occupant and improving the buffering effect.

[0013] In an example of the present invention, the retractor is connected to the seat belt in the child safety seat, and the driving vehicle includes a panoramic imaging system; Controlling the retractor to execute the first protection response strategy includes: Controlling the retractor to tighten the seat belt at a basic rate until the seat belt is in complete contact with the body surface of the occupant; When the panoramic imaging system recognizes a collision risk in the driving vehicle, controlling the retractor to switch to an emergency rate to tighten the seat belt until the seat belt reaches the target restraint strength; Wherein, the emergency rate is greater than the basic rate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: By controlling the retractor to tighten the seat belt at a basic rate until the seat belt is in complete contact with the body surface of the occupant, this method can achieve a pre-tightening effect; At the same time, when the panoramic imaging system recognizes a collision risk, controlling the retractor to switch to an emergency rate to tighten the seat belt so that the seat belt reaches the target restraint strength can better restrain the occupant before a collision and ensure the safety of the occupant.

[0015] In an example of the present invention, a pressure detection device is built into the child safety seat; Before controlling the retractor to execute the first protection response strategy, the pre-tightening control method further includes: Detecting the weight parameter of the occupant through the pressure detection device, determining the restraint strength adjustment coefficient according to the weight parameter; Determining the target restraint strength according to the restraint strength adjustment coefficient and the preset restraint strength.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: In the traditional method, the binding force of the seat belt cannot be reasonably set according to the weight of the occupant, resulting in poor protection effects for occupants of different weights; By detecting the weight parameter of the occupant through the pressure detection device, determining the restraint strength adjustment coefficient according to the weight parameter, and generating the target restraint strength according to the restraint strength adjustment coefficient and the preset restraint strength, this method can better meet the needs of occupants of different weights and improve the protection effects for occupants of different weights.

[0017] In an example of the present invention, after detecting the weight parameter of the occupant through the pressure detection device, the pre-tightening control method further includes: if it is detected that the weight parameter changes, and the change in the weight parameter exceeds a preset ratio and the duration exceeds a first preset time, then trigger the occupant posture calibration program; after the occupant posture calibration program ends, re-detect the calibrated weight parameter of the occupant, and re-determine the restraint strength adjustment coefficient according to the calibrated weight parameter.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: The change in the posture of the occupant may cause inaccurate weight detection, which in turn affects the accuracy of determining the target restraint strength. When this method detects that the weight parameter changes, the change exceeds the preset ratio, and the duration exceeds the first preset time, it triggers the occupant posture calibration program, re-detects the calibrated weight parameter of the occupant after the occupant posture calibration program ends, and re-determines the restraint strength adjustment coefficient according to the calibrated weight parameter, ensuring the accuracy of the target restraint strength and being beneficial to ensuring the safety and comfort of the occupant.

[0019] In an example of the present invention, the child safety seat is internally provided with an environmental voiceprint acquisition module, and the pre-tightening control method further includes: collecting environmental sound signals through the environmental voiceprint acquisition module; if the current speed data is in a low-speed state, then increase the capture sensitivity of the environmental voiceprint acquisition module to high-frequency abnormal noises to focus on identifying high-frequency metal friction sounds; if the current speed data is in a high-speed state, then control the environmental voiceprint acquisition module to enable a wind noise suppression algorithm to focus on identifying the characteristic sound of glass breakage; identify the environmental sound signals, and if it is identified that the environmental sound signals include high-frequency metal friction sounds or the characteristic sound of glass breakage, then execute the first protection response strategy in advance.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: In extreme cases such as the failure of the triaxial acceleration sensor, this method collects environmental sound signals through the environmental voiceprint acquisition module, and respectively focuses on identifying high-frequency metal friction sounds and the characteristic sound of glass breakage according to the state of the current speed data, improving the safety performance and early warning ability of the child safety seat.

[0021] In an example of the present invention, when it is detected that the driving tool is in an overspeed driving state or the current speed data is greater than the preset safety speed, trigger the deployment of the side wing protection device, including: if the current speed data is lower than the first preset speed value, then control the side wing protection device to deploy at the first rotation speed; if the current speed data is higher than the first preset speed value and lower than the second preset speed value, then adjust the deployment speed of the side wing protection device according to the magnitude of the current speed data; if the current speed data is higher than the second preset speed value, then control the side wing protection device to deploy at the second rotation speed; where the second preset speed value is greater than the first preset speed value.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: By controlling the deployment speed of the side protection device according to the current speed data, it can better adapt to different collision situations, avoid the risk of occupant injury caused by unreasonable deployment speed of the side protection device, and improve the protection effect on the occupant.

[0023] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a child safety seat with an intelligent retractor, which can implement the pre-tensioning control method in any of the above examples. The child safety seat includes a seat body, a retractor, a tightening belt, a triaxial acceleration sensor, an inflatable buffer assembly, and a side protection device; the seat body has opposite front and back surfaces, the front surface is used to carry a child occupant, and a seat belt is provided on the front surface. The seat body is provided with a retraction hole communicating the front and back surfaces; the retractor is arranged on the back surface; one end of the tightening belt is connected to the seat belt, and the other end is connected to the retractor through the retraction hole; the triaxial acceleration sensor is arranged on the back surface and is communicatively connected to the retractor; the inflatable buffer assembly is arranged on the front surface; the side protection device is movably connected to both sides of the seat body.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: It can achieve the technical effects corresponding to any of the above examples, which will not be elaborated here.

[0025] After adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0026] (1) By obtaining the composite motion data of the child safety seat and the current speed data of the driving vehicle, and dynamically calculating the composite collision risk index and comparing it with the preset safety boundary value, this method can more accurately determine whether there is a collision risk for the driving vehicle, reducing the possibility of misjudgment and missed judgment; at the same time, after determining that there is a collision risk, it controls the retractor to execute the first protection response strategy. When it is detected that the driving vehicle is in an overspeed state or the current speed data is greater than the preset safety speed, it triggers the deployment of the side protection device, which can better restrain the occupant before the collision occurs, thereby providing timely protection for the occupant and avoiding the violent forward impact of the occupant; after the first protection response strategy is executed, and dynamically adjusting the buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, it can better cope with different collision situations and effectively absorb and disperse the impact force generated by the collision;

[0027] (2) In the traditional method, due to the single data source, the calculation of the composite collision risk index is inaccurate. In the present invention, triaxial acceleration data is obtained through a triaxial acceleration sensor, yaw angular velocity data is obtained through a gyroscope sensor, and the current speed data is obtained through a CAN bus. Then, a synchronous compensation strategy is adopted for the triaxial acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data by using a clock error model. Combining the current speed data to calculate the composite collision risk index, the problem of time-base drift existing between multi-sensor samplings is solved, the accuracy of data acquisition and processing is improved, the situations of misjudgment and missed judgment are reduced, and thus more reliable data support is provided for collision risk judgment;

[0028] (3) In the traditional method, the buffer protection strategy cannot be adjusted specifically according to the current speed data and triaxial acceleration data; in this method, the buffer protection strategy is dynamically adjusted according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, improving the pertinence and effectiveness of the buffer protection; in the case of high-speed collision, more effective buffer protection measures are required. In this method, when the current speed data reaches the high-speed interval threshold, the global inflation mode of the inflatable buffer component is activated, providing a stronger protection effect; in the case of low-speed collision, over-inflation of the buffer component may cause resource waste and unnecessary injuries. In this method, when it is detected that the current speed data drops to the safe speed threshold and the composite value of the triaxial acceleration data is less than the preset safe acceleration value, the inflatable buffer component is controlled to execute the air pressure gradient release strategy, realizing the reasonable control of the buffer component;

[0029] (4) In the traditional method, the restraint force of the seat belt cannot be reasonably set according to the weight of the occupant, resulting in poor protection effects for occupants with different weights; in this method, the weight parameter of the occupant is detected through a pressure detection device, the restraint strength adjustment coefficient is determined according to the weight parameter, and the target restraint strength is generated according to the restraint strength adjustment coefficient and the preset restraint strength, which can better meet the needs of occupants with different weights and improve the protection effects for occupants with different weights.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0040] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is made with reference to the drawings.

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 , which is a flowchart of a pre-tightening control method for a child safety seat with an intelligent retraction device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The child safety seat is installed in a driving tool. The child safety seat includes a retraction device and a side wing protection device. The pre-tightening control method includes:

[0042] S100: Obtain the composite motion data of the child safety seat and the current speed data of the driving vehicle, and dynamically calculate the composite collision risk index;

[0043] S200: When the composite collision risk index exceeds the preset safety boundary value, control the retractor to execute the first protection response strategy;

[0044] S300: Obtain the legal speed limit data of the section where the driving vehicle is located. When it is detected that the driving vehicle is in an overspeed state or the current speed data is greater than the preset safety speed, trigger the side wing protection device to deploy;

[0045] S400: After the first protection response strategy is executed, dynamically adjust the buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and the composite motion data.

[0046] Specifically, by obtaining the composite motion data of the child safety seat and the current speed data of the driving vehicle, dynamically calculating the composite collision risk index, and comparing it with the preset safety boundary value, this method can more accurately determine whether there is a collision risk for the driving vehicle, reducing the possibility of misjudgment and missed judgment; at the same time, after determining that there is a collision risk, control the retractor to execute the first protection response strategy. When it is detected that the driving vehicle is in an overspeed state or the current speed data is greater than the preset safety speed, trigger the side wing protection device to deploy, which can better restrain the occupant before the collision occurs, thereby providing timely protection to the occupant and avoiding the violent forward impact of the occupant; after the first protection response strategy is executed, and dynamically adjust the buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, which can better handle different collision situations and effectively absorb and disperse the impact force generated by the collision.

[0047] Preferably, the driving vehicle is built - in with a CAN bus, and the child safety seat includes a three - axis acceleration sensor and a gyroscope sensor; obtaining the composite motion data of the child safety seat and the current speed data of the driving vehicle, and dynamically calculating the composite collision risk index, includes: obtaining the three - axis acceleration data of the child safety seat through the three - axis acceleration sensor, obtaining the yaw angular velocity data of the child safety seat through the gyroscope sensor, and obtaining the current speed data through the CAN bus; adopting a synchronous compensation strategy for the three - axis acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data through a clock error model, and calculating the composite collision risk index in combination with the current speed data;

[0048] Calculating the composite collision risk index satisfies the following formula 1;

[0049] Wherein, formula 1 is:

[0050] P = k1*(a x 2 +a y 2 +a z2 ) 1 / 2 + k2 * V + k3 * Ω 2 ;

[0051] Among them, a x , a y and a z are respectively the three components after synchronous compensation of the three-axis acceleration data; V is the current speed data; Ω is the yaw angular velocity data after adopting the synchronous compensation strategy; P is the composite collision risk index, k1 = 0.2, k2 = 0.05, k3 = 0.1.

[0052] Furthermore, the preset safety boundary value is 2. When P is greater than 2, that is, the composite collision risk index exceeds the preset safety boundary value.

[0053] Furthermore, due to the time-base drift in multi-sensor sampling, such as the sampling frequencies of the three-axis acceleration sensor and the gyroscope sensor being different; the synchronous compensation strategy for the three-axis acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data is adopted through the clock error model to satisfy the following formulas 2 and 3:

[0054] Among them, formula 2 is: Δt acc = t acc − t sync ;

[0055] Formula 3 is: Δt gyro = t gyro − t sync ;

[0056] Among them, Δt acc is the time deviation of the three-axis acceleration data, t acc is the sampling moment of the three-axis acceleration data, t sync is the system unified time reference, Δt gyro is the time deviation of the yaw angular velocity data, t gyro is the sampling moment of the yaw angular velocity data.

[0057] Furthermore, obtain the acceleration gradients of the three components of the three-axis acceleration data according to the three-axis acceleration data; obtain the yaw velocity gradient according to the yaw angular velocity data.

[0058] Furthermore, perform synchronous compensation calculations on the three components of a x0 , a y0 and a z0 of the three-axis acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data respectively through the clock error model;

[0059] The synchronous compensation calculations satisfy the following formulas 4, 5, 6 and 7;

[0060] Among them, Equation 4 is: a x = a x0 + 0.2 * Δt acc * da x0 / dt;

[0061] Equation 5 is: a y = a y0 + 0.2 * Δt acc * da y0 / dt;

[0062] Equation 6 is: a z = a z0 + 0.2 * Δt acc * da z0 / dt;

[0063] Equation 7 is: Ω = Ω0 + 0.2 * Δt gyro * dΩ / dt;

[0064] Among them, a x0 , a y0 and a z0 are the three components of the triaxial acceleration, da x0 / dt, da y0 / dt and da z0 / dt are the acceleration gradients of the three components of the triaxial acceleration respectively, Ω0 is the yaw angular velocity data, and dΩ / dt is the yaw angular velocity data gradient.

[0065] Specifically, in the test scenario of emergency braking, according to the data, the negative acceleration in the X-axis direction is significant during emergency braking, while the yaw angular velocity shows that the child safety seat hardly rotates. After adopting the synchronous compensation strategy for the triaxial acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data through the clock error model, the synchronous error reduction rate is 92%, and the multi-sensor data synchronization is significantly improved.

[0066] Table 1 Comparative experiment on the compensation effect after adopting the synchronous compensation strategy for the triaxial acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data through the clock error model under different test scenarios

[0067]

[0068] Specifically, in the test scenario of emergency braking, according to the data, the negative acceleration in the X-axis direction is significant during emergency braking, while the yaw angular velocity shows that the child safety seat hardly rotates. After adopting the synchronous compensation strategy for the triaxial acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data through the clock error model, the synchronous error reduction rate is 92%, and the multi-sensor data synchronization is significantly improved.

[0069] Specific calculation cases of the composite collision index for different driving events are shown in Table 2:

[0070] Table 2 Calculation cases of the composite collision index

[0071]

[0072] Specifically, in the event of a rear-end collision in the city, based on the current speed, the compensated three-axis acceleration, and the compensated angular velocity, the calculated P value is 2.01, and the first protection response strategy is executed.

[0073] Specifically, due to the single data source of the traditional method, the calculation of the composite collision risk index is inaccurate. In the present invention, the three-axis acceleration data is obtained through a three-axis acceleration sensor, the yaw angular velocity data is obtained through a gyroscope sensor, and the current speed data is obtained through the CAN bus. Then, a synchronous compensation strategy is adopted for the three-axis acceleration data and the yaw angular velocity data by using the clock error model, and the composite collision risk index is calculated in combination with the current speed data, solving the problem of time-base drift between multi-sensor samplings, improving the accuracy of data acquisition and processing, reducing the situations of misjudgment and missed judgment, and thus providing more reliable data support for collision risk judgment.

[0074] Preferably, the child safety seat is further provided with an inflatable buffer assembly; the buffer protection strategy is dynamically adjusted according to the current speed data and the composite motion data, including: if the current speed data reaches the high-speed interval threshold, the global inflation mode of the inflatable buffer assembly is activated; when it is detected that the current speed data drops to the safe speed threshold and the composite value of the three-axis acceleration data is less than the preset safe acceleration value, the inflatable buffer assembly is controlled to execute the air pressure gradient release strategy; when it is detected that the composite value of the three-axis acceleration data drops to zero and the current speed data drops to zero, the inflatable buffer assembly is controlled to execute the exhaust reset strategy.

[0075] Further, the high-speed interval threshold is that the current speed data is greater than 60 km / h; the safe speed threshold is that the current speed data is less than or equal to 60 km / h; the preset safe acceleration value is 2 m / s².

[0076] Further, the composite value of the three-axis acceleration data satisfies the following formula 8;

[0077] Wherein, formula 8 is:

[0078] X=(a x 2 +a y 2 +a z 2 ) 1 / 2 ;

[0079] Wherein, X is the composite value of the three-axis acceleration data.

[0080] Specifically, in the traditional method, the buffer protection strategy cannot be adjusted specifically according to the current speed data and triaxial acceleration data; this method dynamically adjusts the buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and composite motion data, improving the pertinence and effectiveness of buffer protection; in the case of high-speed collisions, more effective buffer protection measures are required. When the current speed data reaches the high-speed interval threshold in this method, the global inflation mode of the inflatable buffer component is activated, providing a stronger protection effect; in the case of low-speed collisions, over-inflation of the buffer component may cause resource waste and unnecessary injuries. When it is detected that the current speed data drops to the safe speed threshold and the composite value of the triaxial acceleration data is less than the preset safe acceleration value in this method, the inflatable buffer component is controlled to execute the air pressure gradient release strategy, realizing reasonable control of the buffer component.

[0081] Preferably, before dynamically adjusting the buffer protection strategy according to the current speed data and composite motion data, the pre-tension control method further includes: obtaining the head image data of the occupant, generating the head orientation data of the occupant according to the head image data; determining the ejection position of the inflatable buffer component according to the head orientation data.

[0082] Specifically, in the existing method, the buffer protection strategy cannot be adjusted personalized according to the specific posture or position of the occupant, resulting in poor buffer effect; this method realizes personalized adjustment of the buffer protection strategy by obtaining the head image data of the occupant, generating the head orientation data, and determining the ejection position of the inflatable buffer component according to the head orientation data, ensuring that the buffer component can better protect the key parts of the occupant and improving the buffer effect.

[0083] Preferably, the retractor is connected to the seat belt in the child safety seat, and the driving tool includes a panoramic imaging system; controlling the retractor to execute the first protection response strategy includes: controlling the retractor to tighten the seat belt at the basic speed until the seat belt is in complete contact with the surface of the occupant; when the panoramic imaging system recognizes that there is a collision risk for the driving tool, controlling the retractor to switch to the emergency speed to tighten the seat belt until the seat belt reaches the target restraint strength; wherein, the emergency speed is greater than the basic speed.

[0084] Furthermore, the occupant posture calibration program includes controlling the retractor to tighten the seat belt.

[0085] Specifically, this method can achieve a pre-tightening effect by controlling the retractor to tighten the seat belt at the basic speed until the seat belt is in complete contact with the surface of the occupant; at the same time, when the panoramic imaging system recognizes the collision risk, controlling the retractor to switch to the emergency speed to tighten the seat belt so that the seat belt reaches the target restraint strength, which can better restrain the occupant before the collision and ensure the safety of the occupant.

[0086] Preferably, a pressure detection device is built into the child safety seat; before the retractor device executes the first protection response strategy, the pre-tightening control method further includes: detecting the weight parameter of the occupant through the pressure detection device, determining a restraint strength adjustment coefficient according to the weight parameter; and determining a target restraint strength according to the restraint strength adjustment coefficient and a preset restraint strength.

[0089] Preferably, after detecting the weight parameter of the occupant through the pressure detection device, the pre-tightening control method further includes: if it is detected that the weight parameter changes, and the change in the weight parameter exceeds a preset ratio and lasts for more than a first preset time, then trigger an occupant posture calibration program; after the occupant posture calibration program ends, re-detect the calibrated weight parameter of the occupant, and re-determine the restraint strength adjustment coefficient according to the calibrated weight parameter.

[0091] Further, when the calibrated weight parameter is less than or equal to 18 kg, the restraint strength adjustment coefficient K is 0.7; when the calibrated weight parameter is greater than 18 kg and less than or equal to 36 kg, the restraint strength adjustment coefficient K is 1; when the calibrated weight parameter is greater than 36 kg, the restraint strength adjustment coefficient K is 1.3.

[0092] Specifically, the change in the posture of the occupant may cause inaccurate weight detection, which in turn affects the accuracy of determining the target restraint strength; this method triggers the occupant posture calibration program when it is detected that the weight parameter changes, and the change exceeds the preset ratio and lasts for more than the first preset time, and re-detects the calibrated weight parameter of the occupant after the occupant posture calibration program ends, and re-determines the restraint strength adjustment coefficient according to the calibrated weight parameter, ensuring the accuracy of the target restraint strength and being beneficial to ensuring the safety and comfort of the occupant.

[0094] Further, the low-speed state is that the current speed data is less than or equal to 40 km / h; the high-speed state is that the current speed data is greater than 40 km / h.

[0095] Specifically, in extreme cases such as when the triaxial acceleration sensor fails, this method collects environmental sound signals through the environmental voiceprint acquisition module, and respectively focuses on identifying high-frequency metal friction sounds and glass breakage characteristic sounds according to the state of the current speed data, improving the safety performance and early warning ability of the child safety seat.

[0096] Preferably, when it is detected that the driving tool is in an overspeed driving state or the current speed data is greater than the preset safety speed, triggering the deployment of the side wing protection device, including: if the current speed data is lower than the first preset speed value, controlling the side wing protection device to deploy at the first rotation speed; if the current speed data is higher than the first preset speed value and lower than the second preset speed value, adjusting the deployment speed of the side wing protection device according to the size of the current speed data; if the current speed data is higher than the second preset speed value, controlling the side wing protection device to deploy at the second rotation speed; wherein, the second preset speed value is greater than the first preset speed value.

[0097] Further, when the current speed data V is lower than 40 km / h, the first rotation speed v1 of the side wing protection device is 20° / s; when the current speed data V is higher than 40 km / h and lower than 100 km / h, the deployment speed v2 of the side wing protection device = 20° + 0.5(V - 40)° / s; when the current speed data V is higher than 100 km / h, the second rotation speed v3 of the side wing protection device is 50° / s.

[0098] Specifically, controlling the deployment speed of the side wing protection device according to the current speed data can better adapt to different collision situations, avoid the risk of occupant injury caused by unreasonable deployment speed of the side wing protection device, and improve the protection effect on the occupant.
