[0051] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure or the prior art, the drawings required to be used in the embodiments or the prior art description will be briefly introduced as follows. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings without creative labor.

[0052] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure can be practiced according to other embodiments that do not require some of the specific details described below. Obviously, the description is only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all the embodiments.

[0053] In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's economy and the rapid development of the automobile industry, the demand of users has changed from the past single demand for cars to diversified demand, and the driving conditions of customers are becoming more and more complex. Differentiated products represented by off-road vehicles have rapidly risen, and more and more people have begun to use off-road vehicles to complete various challenges such as jungle off-road, muddy road challenge, water challenge, deep pit challenge, desert crossing, desert climbing, desert brushing, and desert escape.

[0054] The off-road vehicle electric control silicon oil fan is connected with the engine wheel system and driven by the engine wheel system, so the fan torque is large. The silicon oil flow of the electric control silicon oil fan is usually controlled based on engine water temperature and other signals, so the fan does not have a stall protection device like an electronic fan. When the off-road vehicle is in a water challenge or the vehicle is in a water condition, when the water level of the water challenge is high or the vehicle speed is high, the fan rotates and pushes water, and the fan blade is under great stress, which may cause the fan blade to break or the fan to deform, thereby scratching the radiator core and causing core water leakage and other faults.

[0055] To solve the above problems, the present embodiment provides a vehicle control method, which will be described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0056] Figure 1 The vehicle control method provided by the present embodiment is shown in the flowchart. The method can be applied to a vehicle control device, such as a car machine, a smart phone, a palm computer, a tablet computer, a wearable device with a display screen, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, an all-in-one machine, etc. It can be understood that the vehicle control method provided by the present embodiment can also be applied in other scenarios.

[0057] The vehicle control method shown in the flowchart will be described below, and the specific steps of the method are as follows: Figure 1

[0058] S101, obtain the driving state information and the environment information of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured with a silicon oil fan.

[0059] The driving state information of the vehicle is various parameters of the vehicle in the current driving state, such as vehicle lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor data, vehicle body side rearview mirror water depth sensor data, vehicle speed signal, engine water temperature information, vehicle driving slope information, etc.

[0060] ​The vehicle lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensors can obtain the acceleration information of the vehicle in the horizontal direction (longitudinal direction) and the vertical direction (lateral direction). These data can help determine the driving state of the vehicle, such as whether it is climbing, descending, driving on a flat road, turning, etc.; the wading depth sensor can determine whether the vehicle is in a wading state and the depth of the wading; the vehicle speed information is used to determine the driving state of the vehicle, such as whether it is in high-speed driving or low-speed driving; the engine water temperature information is used to determine the running state of the engine, and whether the speed of the silicone oil fan needs to be adjusted to meet the heat dissipation demand.

[0061] The driving state information is monitored and analyzed by various sensors and controllers of the vehicle, providing comprehensive data for the control system of the vehicle.

[0062] The environmental information of the vehicle refers to the data related to the external conditions of the vehicle, which is used to help the vehicle control device determine the current driving scene and adjust the control strategy of the vehicle accordingly. For example, the laser radar, camera, etc. are used to obtain the information of obstacles and road conditions in the environment around the vehicle.

[0063] The silicone oil fan is a heat dissipation fan that uses silicone oil as a transmission medium. The viscous properties of silicone oil transmit the power of the engine to the fan, making the fan rotate to dissipate heat.

[0064] Specifically, the vehicle in the present disclosure is an off-road vehicle.

[0065] S102, determining whether the vehicle has a wading risk according to the driving state information and the environmental information.

[0066] Wherein, whether the vehicle has a wading risk includes whether the vehicle is currently in a wading state or whether the vehicle is about to pass through a wading section.

[0067] When the vehicle has a wading risk, it means that the silicone oil fan will soon come into contact with the accumulated water, and the speed of the vehicle and the rotation of the silicone oil fan may cause the blades of the silicone oil fan to be subjected to a large resistance from the accumulated water, which is prone to deformation or breakage.

[0068] The vehicle control device comprehensively evaluates the environmental situation of the vehicle based on the driving state information and the environmental information of the vehicle, and determines whether the vehicle is currently in a wading state or is about to be in a wading state, and then controls the vehicle to reduce the resistance on the blades of the silicone oil fan.

[0069] S103, when it is determined that the vehicle has a wading risk, adjusting the suspension height of the vehicle and controlling the silicone oil fan to reduce the speed.

[0070] Specifically, it is necessary to ensure that the silicone oil fan after reducing the speed can meet the basic heat dissipation demand of the engine.

[0071] When the vehicle is at risk of water, the suspension height of the vehicle is adjusted to raise the silicone oil fan as far as possible from the water surface or to reduce the water immersion depth of the silicone oil fan as much as possible, so as to reduce the resistance of the silicone oil fan blades from the water; at the same time, the speed of the silicone oil fan is reduced, and the speed of the silicone oil fan is no longer controlled based on the engine speed and the engine water temperature, but is reduced by controlling the silicone oil flow, so as to slow down the relative speed of the silicone oil fan blades in the process of contacting with the water, and further reduce the impact force of the silicone oil fan blades from the water.

[0072] Optionally, the control of the silicone oil fan to reduce the speed includes: control of the silicone oil fan to rotate at a minimum speed. The minimum speed of the silicone oil fan is related to the current engine speed, and the minimum speed of the silicone oil fan satisfies a preset speed ratio with the engine speed and meets the basic heat dissipation requirement of the engine.

[0073] The embodiments of the present disclosure obtain the driving state information and the environmental information of the vehicle, the vehicle is configured with a silicone oil fan; determine whether the vehicle is at risk of water according to the driving state information and the environmental information; when it is determined that the vehicle is at risk of water, the suspension height of the vehicle is adjusted and the speed of the silicone oil fan is controlled to be reduced; by obtaining the driving state information and the external environmental information of the vehicle, it is comprehensively determined whether the current driving condition of the vehicle is at risk of water, when the vehicle is at risk of water, the suspension height of the vehicle is adjusted to raise the silicone oil fan to reduce the resistance of the silicone oil fan blades from the water, and the speed of the silicone oil fan is reduced to further reduce the impact force of the silicone oil fan blades from the water, thereby reducing the risk of fracture and deformation of the silicone oil fan due to water to the greatest extent.

[0074] In some embodiments, the driving state information includes a vehicle inclination angle; the determination of whether the vehicle is at risk of water according to the driving state information and the environmental information includes: determination of the slope of the road section where the vehicle is located and the uphill and downhill state of the vehicle according to the vehicle inclination angle; when the slope is greater than a preset slope threshold and the vehicle is in a downhill state, it is determined according to the environmental information whether the vehicle is at risk of water.

[0075] Optionally, in the step of obtaining the driving state information of the vehicle, the vehicle inclination angle is obtained by: obtaining the data of the vehicle lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor to obtain the acceleration of the vehicle in the vertical and horizontal directions, and obtain the inclination angle of the vehicle, i.e. the slope of the road section where the vehicle is located.

[0076] Optionally, in the step of obtaining the driving state information of the vehicle, the vehicle inclination angle is obtained by: directly obtaining the inclination angle of the vehicle, i.e. the slope of the road section where the vehicle is located, by using a slope sensor.

[0077] When the slope value of the vehicle is greater than the preset slope threshold value, it is considered that the vehicle is in an uphill or downhill state.

[0078] When the vehicle is in a downhill state, if the vehicle is not currently in a wading state, it can also enter a wading state at a water accumulation at the bottom of the slope.

[0079] Specifically, whether the vehicle has a wading risk includes whether the vehicle is currently in a wading state, or whether there is a water accumulation section in the driving direction of the vehicle.

[0080] One possible case is that the vehicle control device obtains the current vehicle wading depth through the wading depth sensor, and then determines whether the vehicle is currently in a wading state. When the vehicle wading depth is greater than the wading depth threshold value, it is determined that the vehicle is in a wading state; correspondingly, when the vehicle wading depth is less than or equal to the wading depth threshold value, it is determined that the vehicle is not in a wading state.

[0081] Optionally, the wading depth sensor is a wading depth sensor on the two side mirrors of the vehicle body. Further, when the vehicle wading depth obtained by any one of the wading depth sensors on the two side mirrors is greater than the wading depth threshold value, it is determined that the vehicle is in a wading state; correspondingly, when the vehicle wading depth obtained by the wading depth sensors on the two side mirrors of the vehicle body is less than or equal to the wading depth threshold value, it is determined that the vehicle is not in a wading state.

[0082] Further, when the vehicle is in a wading state, the severity of the vehicle wading is determined, and different vehicle control strategies are executed according to different vehicle wading severities.

[0083] Specifically, when the vehicle wading depth is greater than a first preset depth, the front air suspension of the vehicle is raised, the rear air suspension is raised, and the speed of the silicone oil fan is reduced.

[0084] When the vehicle wading depth is greater than the first preset depth, it means that the vehicle wading is serious, and at this time the front and rear air suspensions of the vehicle need to be raised to raise the silicone oil fan as much as possible, and the speed of the silicone oil fan is reduced.

[0085] Alternatively, when the vehicle is in a wading state, but the vehicle wading depth is less than or equal to the first preset depth, the front air suspension of the vehicle is raised, and the speed of the silicone oil fan is reduced.

[0086] When the vehicle wading depth is less than or equal to the first preset depth, it means that the vehicle wading is general, and at this time the front air suspension of the vehicle is raised to a certain extent to raise the silicone oil fan, and the speed of the silicone oil fan is reduced.

[0087] Another possible case is that the vehicle control device obtains road condition information in the vehicle driving direction through sensors such as vehicle front-view cameras, laser radars, etc. If it is identified based on the road condition information that there is a waterlogged road section in the vehicle driving direction, it is determined that the vehicle will soon pass through the water-involved road section, and the vehicle has a water-involved risk. Or, if it is identified based on the road condition information that there is no waterlogged road section in the vehicle driving direction, it is determined that the vehicle will not pass through the water-involved road section in a short time, and the vehicle has no water-involved risk.

[0088] Specifically, taking the vehicle front-view camera as an example, the vehicle control device collects image data of the road scene in real time through the front-view camera, and pre-processes the collected image, including compression, grayscale, noise filtering, image enhancement, etc., to improve the image quality and facilitate subsequent waterlogging detection. The pre-processed image is input into a trained deep learning model (such as a convolutional neural network, CNN), which will output a segmentation result map of the waterlogged area. By detecting the brightness of the waterlogged area in the segmentation result map, image areas with brightness higher than a certain threshold are filtered out to exclude the possibility that the excessively high brightness area is a road surface reflection rather than a waterlogged area. If there is a waterlogged area, it is determined that there is a waterlogged road section in the vehicle driving direction.

[0089] Optionally, in combination with the point cloud data of the vehicle environment information of the laser radar, the point cloud data of the waterlogged area is screened out to further improve the accuracy of waterlogged area identification.

[0090] When it is identified according to the road condition information that there is a waterlogged road section in the vehicle driving direction, the suspension height of the vehicle is adjusted and the rotation speed of the silicone oil fan is controlled to be reduced, including: controlling the front air suspension of the vehicle to be raised, the rear air suspension to be lowered, and the rotation speed of the silicone oil fan to be reduced.

[0091] When there is a waterlogged road section in the vehicle driving direction, it means that the vehicle will soon enter a water-involved state. At the moment when the vehicle enters the water-involved state from the non-water-involved state, the blades of the silicone oil fan will bear a large impact force in the instant of entering the water surface, which will also bring a high risk of blade breakage or deformation. Therefore, when the vehicle is in a downhill state, even if the current vehicle is not in a water-involved state, the vehicle control device will predict the water-involved risk that may occur in the future based on the environmental information to prevent the blade damage that may occur in the instant of the silicone oil fan entering the water.

[0092] Therefore, before the vehicle enters the water-involved state, the front air suspension of the vehicle is controlled to be raised and the rear air suspension is controlled to be lowered in advance to reduce the impact force of the blades of the silicone oil fan in the instant of entering the water surface.

[0093] On the basis of the above embodiments, when it is determined that the vehicle is in a water-involved state or is about to enter a water-involved state, the current water-involved depth of the vehicle is monitored in real time; the rotation speed of the silicone oil fan is determined according to the water-involved depth, and the rotation speed of the silicone oil fan is proportional to the water-involved depth.

[0094] When the water depth is deeper, the silicon oil fan speed is lower; correspondingly, when the water depth is lower, the silicon oil fan speed is higher.

[0095] In the process of the vehicle wading, the deeper the water depth, the deeper the silicon oil fan blade enters the water, and the greater the impact force of the water on the silicon oil fan blade. In this case, gradually reducing the speed of the silicon oil fan with the increase of the water depth can further reduce the impact of the silicon oil fan blade.

[0096] Correspondingly, when the vehicle is driving out of the water area, the water depth of the vehicle decreases with the increase of the water time, and the silicon oil fan is controlled to increase the speed to meet the heat dissipation demand of the vehicle as much as possible.

[0097] The embodiment of the present disclosure dynamically adjusts the speed of the silicon oil fan based on the water depth of the vehicle. The deeper the water depth, the slower the speed of the silicon oil fan, which can make the speed of the silicon oil fan more consistent with the current water working condition, further reduce the impact force of the water on the silicon oil fan under the water working condition, and timely increase the speed of the silicon oil fan when the water depth gradually decreases, improve the heat dissipation performance while protecting the blade from deformation, and balance the needs of hardware protection and heat dissipation.

[0098] Figure 2 A vehicle control method flow chart provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiment, when the vehicle is in a downhill state, the vehicle control method comprises the following steps:

[0099] S201, obtaining the driving state information and the environmental information of the vehicle.

[0100] The driving state information of the vehicle at least includes the vehicle inclination angle and the vehicle water depth; the environmental information at least includes the road condition information in the driving direction of the vehicle.

[0105] S206, judging the water state and the water severity of the vehicle.

[0106] If the vehicle is not in a water state, execute S207;

[0107] If the vehicle is in the wading state and the vehicle wading depth is less than or equal to the first preset depth, S208 is performed;

[0108] If the vehicle is in the wading state and the vehicle wading depth is greater than the first preset depth, S209 is performed.

[0110] S208, control the front air suspension of the vehicle to be raised to lift the silicone oil fan.

[0111] S209, control the front air suspension of the vehicle to be raised and the rear air suspension of the vehicle to be raised to lift the silicone oil fan.

[0112] S210, no longer control the speed of the silicone oil fan according to the engine speed and the engine water temperature, but control the speed of the silicone oil fan to be reduced by controlling the silicone oil flow.

[0113] The embodiments of the present disclosure can execute corresponding vehicle control strategies according to the vehicle wading state and the vehicle wading depth when the vehicle is in the downhill state, lift the front air suspension and lower the rear air suspension in advance when the vehicle is not in the wading state but is about to be in the wading state, so as to relieve the impact force on the silicone oil fan in the water instantaneously and ensure the stability of the vehicle when climbing the slope; lift the front air suspension and the rear air suspension when the vehicle is in the extreme wading state, so as to lift the silicone oil fan and improve the off-road wading capability of the vehicle; lift the front air suspension to lift the silicone oil fan and reduce the resistance on the silicone oil fan when the vehicle is in the general wading state; and control the speed of the silicone oil fan to be reduced, so as to further relieve the stress on the silicone oil fan and avoid the silicone oil fan from being broken or deformed due to stress as much as possible.

[0114] In some embodiments, the driving state information includes a vehicle inclination angle and a vehicle wading depth. Determining whether the vehicle has a wading risk according to the driving state information and the environment information includes: determining a slope of a road section where the vehicle is located and an uphill or downhill state according to the vehicle inclination angle; and determining that the vehicle has a wading risk when the slope is less than or equal to a preset slope threshold and the wading depth is greater than a second preset depth.

[0115] When the slope is less than or equal to the preset slope threshold, it means that the vehicle is currently driving on a relatively gentle road section. At this time, when the vehicle wading depth is greater than the second preset depth, it is determined that the vehicle has a wading risk.

[0116] The second preset depth is less than the first preset depth.

[0117] Alternatively, the determining whether the vehicle is at a risk of wading according to the driving state information and the environment information further comprises: when the slope is greater than the preset slope threshold, the vehicle is in an uphill state, and the wading depth is greater than a third preset depth, determining that the vehicle is at the risk of wading.

[0118] When the slope is greater than the preset slope threshold, the vehicle is further determined to be in an uphill state or a downhill state according to the positive or negative of the slope. When the vehicle is in the uphill state and the wading depth of the vehicle is greater than the third preset depth, it is determined that the vehicle is at the risk of wading.

[0119] The third preset depth is less than the second preset depth.

[0120] That is, the first preset depth is greater than the second preset depth, and the second preset depth is greater than the third preset depth.

[0121] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the adjusting the suspension height of the vehicle and controlling the silicon oil fan to reduce the rotating speed when it is determined that the vehicle is at the risk of wading comprises: controlling the front air suspension of the vehicle to be raised and controlling the silicon oil fan to reduce the rotating speed when it is determined that the vehicle is at the risk of wading.

[0122] When the vehicle is driving on a flat road and the wading depth is greater than the second preset depth, or when the vehicle is driving on an uphill road section and the wading depth is greater than the third preset depth, it is considered that the vehicle is at the risk of wading. At this time, the front air suspension of the vehicle is controlled to be raised to lift the silicon oil fan, and the silicon oil fan is controlled to reduce the rotating speed.

[0123] Figure 3 A flow chart of a vehicle control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 3 As shown in the above-mentioned embodiments, when the vehicle is in an uphill state, the vehicle control method comprises the following steps:

[0125] The driving state information of the vehicle at least comprises a vehicle inclination angle and a vehicle wading depth.

[0126] S302, determining whether the vehicle is in an uphill state according to the vehicle inclination angle.

[0127] S303, determining whether the vehicle wading depth is greater than a third preset depth. If yes, S304 is executed; if no, S301 is executed.

[0128] S304, controlling the front air suspension of the vehicle to be raised and controlling the silicon oil fan to reduce the rotating speed.

[0129] The embodiments of the present disclosure raise the front air suspension of the vehicle and reduce the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan when the water depth exceeds the threshold value when the vehicle is running on a flat road or is in an uphill state, so as to reduce the resistance of the silicone oil fan to the water and reduce the impact force of the water on the blades when the blades rotate, thereby reducing the risk of the silicone oil fan being broken and deformed due to the water.

[0130] In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure set different water depth determination values for the vehicle in the uphill state, the flat road running state and the downhill state, so that the vehicle water determination is adapted to different working conditions, so that the vehicle water state can be accurately identified and corresponding measures can be taken in the uphill state, the flat road running state and the downhill state, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of the vehicle control method.

[0131] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, when the slope is less than or equal to the preset slope threshold value, and the water depth is greater than the second preset depth, after adjusting the suspension height of the vehicle and controlling the silicone oil fan to reduce the rotating speed, the method further comprises: when the driving speed of the vehicle is less than a preset speed threshold value, obtaining the water temperature of the engine; when the water temperature is higher than a preset temperature threshold value, determining a silicone oil flow increase amount according to the difference between the water temperature and the preset temperature threshold value; and increasing the silicone oil flow of the silicone oil fan based on the silicone oil flow increase amount, so as to increase the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan.

[0132] The slope is less than or equal to the preset slope threshold value, and the water depth is greater than the second preset depth, which represents that the vehicle is currently running on a flat road and there is a risk of water, at this time, after adjusting the suspension and the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan, the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan is further increased based on the vehicle speed and the water temperature of the engine.

[0133] The vehicle control device monitors the driving speed of the vehicle, when the driving speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed threshold value, the vehicle speed is high, and the air intake amount is relatively large, so that part of the heat generated by the engine is taken away, even if the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan is low, the heat dissipation demand of the vehicle can still be met, at this time, the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan is still reduced; when the driving speed is less than the preset speed threshold value, the vehicle speed is low, and the air intake amount is relatively small, the effect of taking away the heat generated by the engine is limited, at this time, the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan is still reduced, which may not meet the heat dissipation demand of the vehicle, and the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan is increased according to the difference between the water temperature of the engine and the preset temperature threshold value, so as to meet the heat dissipation demand of the vehicle.

[0134] Specifically, when the water temperature of the engine is higher than the preset temperature threshold value, the greater the difference between the water temperature of the engine and the preset temperature threshold value, the greater the silicone oil flow increase amount, so that the rotating speed of the silicone oil fan is higher.

[0135] Optionally, the silicone oil flow increase amount is calculated as follows:

[0136] P = a * (T1 - T0)

[0137] wherein, P is the silicon oil flow rate increase amount, a is a preset coefficient, T1 is the water temperature of the engine, and T0 is a preset temperature threshold.

[0138] The preset coefficient is used to introduce the correlation between the silicon oil temperature and the viscosity, so as to correct the change of the power provided by the silicon oil fan due to the change of the viscosity caused by the different silicon oil temperatures, so that the silicon oil flow rate increase amount is proportional to the difference between the water temperature and the preset temperature threshold, and the corresponding silicon oil flow rate increase amount can increase the silicon oil fan speed.
