[0073] The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with

[0074] According to the embodiments of the present application, in one aspect, a control device for a vehicle is provided, comprising:

[0075] The handrail assembly 1 is adapted to move in a first direction, and the handrail assembly 1 comprises a handrail body 11 and an actuator 12, the actuator 12 moving with the handrail body 11;

[0076] The forward touch switch 53;

[0077] The handrail assembly 1 has an initial state and a forward first trigger state of forward movement in the first direction to make the actuator 12 trigger the forward touch switch 53;

[0078] Wherein, the forward direction of the first direction is arranged at an angle A with the seat direction of the vehicle, and A<90° is satisfied.

[0079] In this embodiment, the carrier can be a vehicle, a ship or an aircraft, etc. The following is described by taking a vehicle as an example.

[0080] The handrail assembly 1 can be arranged on the door of the carrier, so that the passenger can place the arm on the handrail assembly 1, thereby playing a supporting role.

[0081] In this embodiment, the execution member 12 and the handrail body 11 can be of an integrated structure or a split structure. The execution member 12 moves with the handrail body 11, specifically, the execution member 12 can move in the same direction as the handrail body 11, or the execution member 12 can move in the opposite direction of the handrail body 11.

[0082] It should be noted that the forward movement of the handrail assembly 1 along the first direction can be in the same direction as the forward direction of the carrier, or in the opposite direction of the forward direction of the carrier, or in other angles with the forward direction of the carrier. The forward direction of the first direction defined herein is not directly related to the forward direction of the carrier.

[0083] By movably arranging the handrail assembly 1, the handrail assembly 1 can move along the first direction, so that the passenger can drive the handrail assembly 1 to move only by moving the arm. In order to improve the human-machine comfort, the forward direction of the first direction is arranged at an angle A with the seat direction of the seat of the carrier, which satisfies A < 90°, and specifically, the first direction can be arranged parallel to the seat direction of the seat of the carrier. Thus, when the passenger moves the handrail assembly 1, the passenger does not need to rotate the body, and the human-machine comfort is higher.

[0084] Here, the seat direction of the seat 7 of the carrier is taken as the reference direction of the first direction. When the passenger sits on the seat 7 of the carrier, the direction facing the normal sitting posture of the passenger is the seat direction of the seat 7 of the carrier.

[0085] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 5 The angle A between the forward direction of the first direction and the seat direction of the seat of the carrier satisfies A < 90°, and otherwise, the angle B between the reverse direction of the first direction and the seat direction of the seat of the carrier is B = 180°-A. Preferably, the angle A between the forward direction of the first direction and the seat direction of the seat of the carrier is A = 0°, and the angle B between the reverse direction of the first direction and the seat direction of the seat of the carrier is B = 180° at this time.

[0086] In this embodiment, the forward touch switch 53 has a correlation with the door of the carrier, specifically, the forward touch switch 53 can be electrically connected with the door of the carrier, or the forward touch switch 53 can be connected with the door of the carrier through the control module, or the forward touch switch 53 can be communicatively connected with the door of the carrier, or the forward touch switch 53 can be communicatively connected with the door of the carrier through the control module.

[0087] The handrail assembly 1 has an initial state and a forward first trigger state in which the handrail assembly 1 is moved in the first direction to make the actuator 12 trigger the forward touch switch 53, and when the actuator 12 triggers the forward touch switch 53, a signal for controlling the door to open can be sent, so that the door of the carrier is opened.

[0088] In some embodiments, the carrier control device further comprises a reset assembly 6 adapted to drive the handrail assembly 1 to move to the initial state.

[0089] After the handrail assembly 1 is moved, the reset assembly 6 drives the handrail assembly 1 to move to the initial state for the next operation.

[0090] The current position of the handrail assembly 1 can be detected by a force sensor, a distance sensor, a torque sensor, or the like. The specific detection method is a common solution in the prior art, and a person skilled in the art can reasonably select the method according to actual needs, which will not be described here.

[0091] In some embodiments, the reset assembly 6 comprises a gear 62, and the actuator 12 comprises a rack portion 123, and the gear 62 is engaged with the rack portion 123.

[0092] The reset assembly 6 further comprises a motor 61 adapted to drive the gear 62 to rotate.

[0093] By engaging the gear 62 with the rack portion 123, the gear 62 can drive the rack portion 123 to move, thereby driving the actuator 12 to move to the initial state, i.e., driving the handrail assembly 1 to move to the initial state.

[0094] In some embodiments, the carrier control device further comprises:

[0095] The reverse first touch switch 51 and the reverse second touch switch 52.

[0096] The handrail assembly 1 further has a reverse first trigger state in which the handrail assembly 1 is moved in the first direction to make the actuator 12 trigger the reverse first touch switch 51, and a reverse second trigger state in which the handrail assembly 1 is moved in the first direction to make the actuator 12 trigger the reverse second touch switch 52.

[0097] The distance of the handrail assembly 1 moved in the first direction in the reverse second trigger state is greater than the distance of the handrail assembly 1 moved in the first direction in the reverse first trigger state.

[0098] In this embodiment, the reverse first touch switch 51 is associated with the window of the vehicle, specifically, the reverse first touch switch 51 can be electrically connected with the window of the vehicle, or the reverse first touch switch 51 can be electrically connected with the window of the vehicle through the control module, or the reverse first touch switch 51 can be communicatively connected with the window of the vehicle, or the reverse first touch switch 51 can be communicatively connected with the window of the vehicle through the control module. Similarly, the reverse second touch switch 52 is also associated with the window of the vehicle, specifically, the reverse first touch switch 51 can be electrically connected with the window of the vehicle, or the reverse first touch switch 51 can be electrically connected with the window of the vehicle through the control module, or the reverse first touch switch 51 can be communicatively connected with the window of the vehicle, or the reverse first touch switch 51 can be communicatively connected with the window of the vehicle through the control module.

[0099] Specifically, in this embodiment, the reverse first touch switch 51 is adapted to control the closing of the window of the vehicle, and the reverse second touch switch 52 is adapted to control the opening of the window of the vehicle.

[0100] Taking the position of the handrail assembly 1 in the initial state as the starting point, the distance of the reverse movement of the handrail assembly 1 in the first direction when the handrail assembly 1 is in the reverse second trigger state is greater than the distance of the reverse movement of the handrail assembly 1 in the first direction when the handrail assembly 1 is in the reverse first trigger state; in order to distinguish the movement distance of the handrail assembly 1, the movement of the handrail assembly 1 from the initial state to the position of the reverse first trigger state is defined as the first gear distance, and the movement of the handrail assembly 1 from the initial state to the position of the reverse second trigger state is defined as the second gear distance, that is, the second gear distance is greater than the first gear distance. In order to more clearly feedback whether the movement of the passenger handrail assembly 1 reaches the predetermined position, when the handrail assembly 1 moves to the first gear distance or moves to the second gear distance, a touch feedback is provided, thereby facilitating the operation of the passenger. Thus, when the first gear distance is moved, the window opening operation is realized, and when the second gear distance is further moved, the window closing operation is realized.

[0101] In this embodiment, the handrail assembly 1 is moved to enable the passenger to control the window without rotating the body, and the window opening operation and the window closing operation are operated in the same direction, thereby realizing integrated design and higher man-machine comfort.

[0102] In some embodiments, the control device for the vehicle further comprises a selection assembly 3, and the selection assembly 3 comprises:

[0103] a selection key 31;

[0104] a total control bit 34 and at least one sub-control bit 35, which are adapted to be electrically connected with the circuit module, respectively;

[0105] The selection key 31 is adapted to connect one of the total control bit 34 and the sub-control bit 35 with the circuit module in conduction.

[0106] Since the vehicle usually includes multiple windows, for example, four windows. The selection assembly 3 of the embodiment is adapted to select a target window, wherein the total control bit 34 is adapted to control all the windows at the same time, and the sub control bits 35 are adapted to control one of the windows, and the number of the sub control bits 35 corresponds to the number of the windows, so that each sub control bit 35 controls one of the windows.

[0107] The circuit module can be a glass lifter. In the embodiment, one glass lifter is provided for each window. When the total control bit 34 is selected, the glass lifters of all the windows are controlled at the same time. When one of the sub control bits 35 is selected, the glass lifter of the corresponding window is controlled.

[0108] In some embodiments, the selection key 31 includes a rotary knob, and the rotary knob is provided with an indication mark 33.

[0109] The total control bit 34 and the sub control bits 35 are arranged around the rotary knob.

[0110] The indication mark 33 is adapted to be opposite to one of the total control bit 34 and the sub control bits 35, so that one of the total control bit 34 and the sub control bits 35 is in conduction with the circuit module.

[0111] As a variant, the selection assembly 3 can also be in the form of a button. By pressing different buttons, one of the total control bit 34 and the sub control bits 35 is in conduction with the circuit module.

[0112] As a variant, the selection assembly 3 can also be in the form of a touch screen, a slide key or a scroll wheel, and the specific implementation structure is not described here.

[0113] In combination with FIGS. 3 and 4, Figure 3 Figure 4 As shown, the sub control bits 35 can include a first sub control bit 351, a second sub control bit 352, a third sub control bit 353 and a fourth sub control bit 354. Each sub control bit 35 is associated with a window. For example, the first sub control bit 351 is associated with the window of the left front door, the second sub control bit 352 is associated with the window of the right front door, the third sub control bit 353 is associated with the window of the left rear door, and the fourth sub control bit 354 is associated with the window of the right rear door.

[0114] In some embodiments, the vehicle control device further includes a lock and unlock button 32, which is adapted to control the on-off of the circuit module.

[0115] ​In the embodiment, the circuit module can be a glass lifter, and the locking and unlocking button 32 is arranged to control the on-off of the glass lifter of all windows, for example, when the locking and unlocking button 32 is pressed, the power supply circuit is disconnected from the power supply of all the glass lifters, and the movement of the glass of all the windows is stopped; when the locking and unlocking button 32 is pressed again, the power supply circuit is connected to the power supply of all the glass lifters.

[0116] In some embodiments, the actuator 12 comprises:

[0117] The traction part 124 is adapted to be connected to the pull cable 41 of the door lock 4.

[0118] The handrail assembly 1 also has a forward movement in the first direction to trigger the forward second trigger state of the pull cable 41.

[0119] The distance of the forward movement of the handrail assembly 1 in the first direction when the handrail assembly 1 is in the forward second trigger state is greater than the distance of the forward movement of the handrail assembly 1 in the first direction when the handrail assembly 1 is in the forward first trigger state, starting from the position of the handrail assembly 1 in the initial state.

[0120] The door lock 4 has a pull cable 41, and when the pull cable 41 is pulled, the door lock 4 can be unlocked.

[0121] The actuator 12 of the embodiment is connected to the pull cable 41 of the door lock 4 through the traction part 124, and when the handrail assembly 1 is further moved forward in the first direction, the pull cable 41 can be triggered, thereby unlocking the door lock 4.

[0122] When the vehicle is out of power or fails, in order to realize emergency unlocking, the traction part 124 is connected to the pull cable 41 of the door lock 4, so that the mechanical safety switch can be triggered to facilitate manual unlocking. In addition, the forward trigger switch 53 and the trigger of the pull cable 41 both require forward movement of the handrail assembly 1 in the first direction, thereby maintaining the habit of passengers and avoiding the need to change habits to use the emergency switch in special situations.

[0123] The distance of the forward movement of the handrail assembly 1 in the first direction when the handrail assembly 1 is in the forward second trigger state is greater than the distance of the forward movement of the handrail assembly 1 in the first direction when the handrail assembly 1 is in the forward first trigger state, starting from the position of the handrail assembly 1 in the initial state; thereby realizing electric door opening operation when moving the first gear distance, and realizing manual emergency door opening operation when further moving the second gear distance.

[0136] Controlling the window of the vehicle based on the conduction state of the reverse first touch switch 51 or the reverse second touch switch 52, and based on the conduction state of the lock-unlock button 32 and the target control bit of the selection assembly 3.

[0137] When the handrail assembly 1 moves in the first direction from the initial state, the actuator 12 can trigger the forward touch switch 53, and the forward touch switch 53 is turned on. When the handrail assembly 1 moves in the first direction from the initial state by a first distance, the actuator 12 can trigger the reverse first touch switch 51, and the reverse first touch switch 51 is turned on. When the handrail assembly 1 moves in the first direction from the initial state by a second distance, the actuator 12 can trigger the reverse second touch switch 52, and the reverse second touch switch 52 is turned on.

[0138] The lock / unlock button 32 can control all the window glass lifters at the same time. When the lock / unlock button 32 is turned on, and the selection assembly 3 selects a target control bit, the target window can be controlled.

[0139] The selection assembly 3 is adapted to select a target window, and then control the specified window. The target window can include all the windows of the vehicle, or one or more windows of the vehicle.

[0140] In some embodiments, the door of the vehicle is controlled based on the on / off state of the forward touch switch 53, including:

[0141] When the on / off state of the forward touch switch 53 is connected, the door of the vehicle is opened.

[0142] Conversely, when the on / off state of the forward touch switch 53 is disconnected, the door of the vehicle cannot be opened electrically.

[0143] In some embodiments, the target control bit includes a total control bit 34 and at least one sub-control bit 35.

[0144] The window of the vehicle is controlled based on the on / off state of the reverse first touch switch 51 or the reverse second touch switch 52, and based on the on / off state of the lock / unlock button 32 and the target control bit of the selection assembly 3, including:

[0145] When the on / off state of the reverse first touch switch 51 is connected, and the on / off state of the lock / unlock button 32 is connected, the corresponding target window of the vehicle is controlled based on the target control bit of the selection assembly 3.

[0146] When the on / off state of the reverse first touch switch 51 is connected, and the on / off state of the lock / unlock button 32 is disconnected, the window remains in the current state.

[0147] When the on / off state of the reverse second touch switch 52 is connected, and the on / off state of the lock / unlock button 32 is connected, the corresponding target window of the vehicle is controlled based on the target control bit of the selection assembly 3.

[0148] When the conductive state of the reverse second touch switch 52 is connected, and the conductive state of the lock / unlock button 32 is disconnected, the window keeps the current state.

[0149] The lock / unlock button 32 can control the on / off of the glass lifters of all windows at the same time. Only when the conductive state of the lock / unlock button 32 is connected, the reverse first touch switch 51 or the reverse second touch switch 52 can realize the control of the window after being turned on.

[0150] The selection assembly 3 is suitable for selecting a target window. The target control bit of the selection assembly 3 is selected alternatively, and the target control bit includes the total control bit 34 and at least one sub-control bit 35. That is, the target control bit of the selection assembly 3 is either in the total control bit 34 which is suitable for controlling all windows at the same time, or in one of the sub-control bits 35, each of which is suitable for controlling one window. The number of the sub-control bits 35 corresponds to the number of the windows, so that each sub-control bit 35 can control one window.

[0151] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: detecting whether the handrail assembly 1 is in the initial position in real time;

[0152] If not, the handrail assembly 1 is controlled to reset to the initial position.
