[0002] Currently, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more vehicles are equipped with electric side pedals.

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] As described above, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more vehicles are equipped with electric side steps. The automotive electric side step is a device to assist in getting in and out of the vehicle. It can be driven by an electric motor to automatically extend and retract the step beside the vehicle door, facilitating passengers to get in and out of the vehicle. The electric side step can enhance the technological sense and luxury sense of the whole vehicle. The traditional side step uses a traditional four-link mechanism + a drive motor to drive to a fixed deployment position. In actual application scenarios, in the prior art, there are mainly the following two types of anti-slip steps: The first is to add anti-slip plastic parts to the product. Since the anti-slip plastic parts will deform when stepped on, the anti-slip performance is not good, and there is also a risk that the plastic parts will catch fire and melt at high temperatures; the second is to directly spray powder with a large coefficient of friction on the product. When the weather is bad and the road is muddy, the gaps on the surface of the step covered with powder are filled with water and sediment, and the anti-slip effect is greatly reduced. The automotive side step in the prior art has the technical defect of poor anti-slip performance.

[0045] In view of this, this application provides a side step control method, system, device and vehicle. By adjusting the positions of the two-layer structure of the side step based on a control instruction, the position of the side step is made to meet the requirements of the control instruction. Compared with the fixed side step position in the prior art, the position of the side step in this application is flexibly adjusted, which better meets the requirements of the vehicle occupants and the actual application scenarios of the side step. Thus, the flexibility and safety of side step control are improved.

[0046] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] The following uses an embodiment to illustrate a side step control method provided by this application. Refer to Figure 1 , the Figure 1 is a flowchart of a side step control method provided by an embodiment of this application. The method provided by the embodiment of this application can be executed by a controller or a control unit. The method includes:

[0048] S101. Obtain status information.

[0049] The status information is used to characterize the environmental state of the side step and / or the surface state of the side step. The environmental state of the side step can include relevant status information such as rainfall duration, snowfall duration, rainfall amount, snowfall amount, and wiper gear for characterizing the weather environment where the current side step is located. The surface state of the side step is the status information used to characterize the side step itself, such as the temperature and humidity of the side step surface, whether the side step surface is frozen, etc.

[0050] S102. In response to the status information meeting the preset mode activation condition, adjust the position of the first layer structure and / or the position of the second layer structure of the side step based on the status information to increase the surface friction of the side step. The second layer structure includes a plurality of polyhedron grooves, and the first layer structure includes a plurality of polyhedron structures that fit with the polyhedron grooves of the second layer structure.

[0051] Among them, the preset mode can be an anti-slip mode, that is, when the status information obtained in the above steps is sufficient to trigger the anti-slip mode of the vehicle side step, the shape and position of the vehicle side step are adjusted accordingly according to the status information. In actual application scenarios, different adjustment parameters can correspond to different status information for the side step. Among them, the adjustment parameters can be at least one of the side step width, side step height, and side step length. In actual application scenarios, the adjustment parameters can be set by the vehicle occupants during the extension start process of the side step this time. For example, set the target side step height, that is, the height of the side step from the ground is 20 cm, and the target side step width is 25 cm. The system queries according to the data set by the occupants themselves. If the current data is reasonable and feasible, the data set by the user is obtained as the adjustment parameter.

[0052] The side step includes a first layer structure and a second layer structure. The second layer structure includes a plurality of polyhedron grooves, and the first layer structure includes a plurality of polyhedron structures that fit with the polyhedron grooves of the second layer structure. Among them, the first layer structure and the second layer structure can be independent of each other. For example, the first layer structure includes ten cuboids connected to a connecting rod, and the second layer structure includes ten cuboid grooves connected to the connecting rod. In actual application scenarios, the cuboids and the cuboid grooves can be completely fitted. That is, when the first layer structure and the second layer structure are spliced together, the upper surface of the side step formed by the combination of the cuboids and the cuboid grooves is flat, and there is no height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure. See Figure 2 , Figure 2 is the axonometric view of the side step unfolded provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 is the top view of the side step unfolded provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0053] In an actual application scenario, different settings can be made for the adjustment strategies corresponding to each adjustment instruction. For example, different adjustment target positions can be controlled according to the identity of the occupant who issues the adjustment instruction. For example, when occupant A issues an instruction to indicate widening the footrest, the footrest is widened to width a, and when occupant B issues an instruction to indicate widening the footrest, the footrest is widened to width b. The same applies to other adjustment instructions.

[0054] In one possible implementation manner, in response to the state information meeting the preset mode start condition, based on the state information, the position of the first-layer structure of the side pedal and / or the position of the second-layer structure are adjusted, including:

[0055] Step A1, in response to at least one of the rainfall duration being greater than a first preset time, the rainfall amount being greater than a first preset rainfall amount, the wiper gear being greater than a first preset gear, and the temperature and humidity on the surface of the side pedal being greater than a first preset temperature and humidity, control the side pedal to move to the target side pedal height.

[0056] Among them, the rainfall duration being greater than the first preset time, the rainfall amount being greater than the first preset rainfall amount, the wiper gear being greater than the first preset gear, and the temperature and humidity on the surface of the side pedal being greater than the first preset temperature and humidity are the judgment criteria for determining whether the state information meets the preset mode start condition. When the obtained state information satisfies at least one of the above conditions, it indicates that the current rainfall level is the first level. In the settings of this embodiment, at this time, only the side pedal structure needs to be separated up and down to perform the first-strength anti-slip corresponding to the first level.

[0057] For example, when the first preset time is set to 2 seconds, when the electric side pedal receives an instruction to widen the side pedal, the normal side pedal drive motor drives the side pedal active four-link to rotate, first realizing the unfolding of the side pedal and unfolding the side pedal to the target side pedal height. After a delay of 2 seconds, control the movement of the first-layer structure and / or the second-layer structure of the side pedal.

[0058] During the adjustment of the side step this time, it is first necessary to control the side step to move to the target side step height, which is a position perpendicular to the horizontal plane and lower than the default parking position of the side step. That is, through the CEM (Central Electronic Module, vehicle electronic module), also known as the body control module, an opening command for indicating the deployment of the side step is generated. At this time, the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure of the side step are controlled to deploy within the first preset time, and the target position of the deployment is the target side step height, which can be set independently by the vehicle occupant or the default deployment position of the vehicle. This position is between the lowest edge of the car door and the ground. The distance between the inner edge of the side step and the vehicle can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, different distances can be set for different occupants. For occupant A, the first preset position is set to a distance of a1 from the ground and a distance of a2 from the car door; for occupant B, the first preset position is set to a distance of b1 from the ground and a distance of b2 from the car door. Among them, the process of confirming the occupant's identity can be to identify the identity of the command issuer according to the in-vehicle camera and / or the voice recognition device.

[0059] Step A2: During the process of the side step deploying to the target side step height or after the side step has been at the target side step height for the first preset time, control at least one of the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground so that the height difference between the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure is the first preset value.

[0060] That is to say, the smooth upper surface composed of the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure is transformed into a result with a height difference between the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure. Such a structure effectively increases the surface friction and prevents the vehicle occupants from slipping in rainy or snowy weather corresponding to the current state information. Among them, when the first-layer structure includes several cuboid structures, the state after the side step is separated up and down can be seen in Figure 4 , Figure 4 is the schematic diagram of the side step separated up and down provided by the embodiment of the present application. In the figure, the first-layer structure is slightly higher than the second-layer structure. Among them, the first preset value can be set independently by the vehicle occupant and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs.

[0061] That is, in the above two possible implementation manners, the process of separating the side step up and down can be during the process of controlling the side step to move to the target side step height or after the process of moving the side step to the target side step height is completed.

[0062] In the first case, when the side step moves from the default parking position and during the process of moving to the target side step height, at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure is controlled to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that there is a height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure. Such an adjustment process is highly efficient and can quickly complete the separation of the upper and lower parts of the side step.

[0063] In the second case, when the electric side step receives an instruction to widen the side step, while the normal side step drive motor drives the active four-link of the side step to rotate, the first layer structure and the second layer structure of the side step are controlled to separate. When the side step moves from the default parking position and starts timing after moving to the target side step height, after the side step is at the target side step height for a preset time, at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure is controlled to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that there is a height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure. Such an adjustment process is highly safe and can avoid rubbing against the personnel around the vehicle. In actual application scenarios, if a person or an object is touched during the unfolding process, anti-pinch protection is triggered.

[0064] In actual application scenarios, the methods for adjusting the two-layer structure to make the height difference be the first preset value can include one of the following methods:

[0065] To make the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure be the first preset value, it includes one of the following methods:

[0066] First, control the first layer structure of the side step to move upward by a first preset value with the direction perpendicular to the ground as the reference, so that the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure is the first preset value. That is, only the first layer structure is moved upward to make the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure be the first preset value.

[0067] Second, control the second layer structure of the side step to move downward by a first preset value with the direction perpendicular to the ground as the reference, so that the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure is the first preset value. That is, only the second layer structure is moved downward to make the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure be the first preset value.

[0068] Third, control the first layer structure of the side step to move upward by a first distance with the direction perpendicular to the ground as the reference, and control the second layer structure of the side step to move downward by a second distance with the horizontal direction as the reference, so that the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure is the first preset value. That is, control the first layer structure to move upward and control the second layer structure to move downward, and the sum of the first distance and the second distance is the first preset value.

[0069] Fourth, control the first - layer structure of the side pedal to move upward by a third distance with respect to the direction perpendicular to the ground, and control the second - layer structure of the side pedal to move upward by a fourth distance with respect to the direction perpendicular to the ground, so that there is a height difference of a first preset value between the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure. That is, control the first - layer structure to move upward, control the second - layer structure to move upward, and the difference between the third distance and the fourth distance is the first preset value.

[0070] Fifth, control the first - layer structure of the side pedal to move upward by a fifth distance with respect to the direction perpendicular to the ground, and control the second - layer structure of the side pedal to move downward by a sixth distance with respect to the direction perpendicular to the ground, so that there is a height difference of a first preset value between the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure. That is, control the first - layer structure to move downward, control the second - layer structure to move downward, and the difference between the sixth distance and the fifth distance is the first preset value.

[0071] In a possible implementation manner, the adjusting the position of the first - layer structure of the side pedal and / or the position of the second - layer structure based on the state information in response to the state information meeting the preset mode start condition includes:

[0072] Step B1: In response to at least one of the rainfall duration being greater than a second preset time, the rainfall amount being greater than a second preset rainfall amount, the wiper gear being greater than a second preset gear, the temperature and humidity on the surface of the side pedal being greater than a second preset temperature and humidity, and the ground flatness within the preset range of the vehicle meeting the first flatness condition, control the side pedal to move to the target side - pedal height.

[0073] Among them, the rainfall duration being greater than a second preset time, the rainfall amount being greater than a second preset rainfall amount, the wiper gear being greater than a second preset gear, the temperature and humidity on the surface of the side pedal being greater than a second preset temperature and humidity, and the ground flatness within the preset range of the vehicle meeting the first flatness condition are the judgment criteria for determining whether the state information meets the preset mode start condition. When the acquired state information satisfies at least one of the above conditions, it indicates that the current rainfall level is the second level. In the setting of this embodiment, at this time, not only the side - pedal structure needs to be separated up and down, but also the side pedal needs to be widened, that is, the second - level corresponding second - intensity anti - skid is performed. That is, the current second - level rainfall makes the ground muddy and difficult to walk on, and the side pedal also needs to improve the anti - skid intensity. In the setting of this embodiment, at this time, not only the side - pedal structure needs to be separated up and down, but also the two - layer structure of the side pedal needs to be separated left and right, that is, the side - pedal extension process is further performed.

[0074] Among them, the relevant settings for the target side pedal are the same as those in steps A1 - A2 above. For details, refer to the previous text and will not be elaborated here.

[0075] Step B2: During the process of the side pedal expanding to the target side pedal height or after the side pedal has been at the target side pedal height for a second preset time, control at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure is a second preset value; control at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side step is a first width value.

[0076] Both the first edge and the second edge are parallel to the vehicle direction. The first edge and the second edge are the inner and outer edges of the side pedal respectively. That is, the first edge can be the inner edge of the side pedal on the side close to the vehicle, and the second edge can be the outer edge of the side pedal on the side parallel to the vehicle direction.

[0077] Among them, for the process analysis of controlling the up-and-down separation of the structure during the process of the side pedal expanding to the target side pedal height or after the side pedal has been at the target side pedal height for a second preset time, please refer to the previous text. The process of this part is the same. There are two situations for the up-and-down separation of the side pedal: it can be during the process of controlling the side pedal to move to the target side pedal height, or after the process of moving the side pedal to the target side pedal height is completed. This will not be elaborated here.

[0078] Among them, for the up-and-down movement method of controlling at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground so that there is a height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure, please refer to the previous description. This movement can also be one of the five up-and-down movement methods. This will not be elaborated here. It should be noted that the second preset value of the height difference in this movement can be set according to actual needs, and it can be the same as the first preset value provided in the previous text or different.

[0079] In this adjustment of the side pedal position, it is necessary to adjust the width of the side pedal so that the driver and passengers have a larger area to step on when using the side pedal, improving safety. In actual application scenarios, the methods for widening the side step can be one of the following:

[0080] First, control the second layer structure of the side pedal, with the horizontal direction as the reference, to move in a direction away from the vehicle, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side pedal is widened to the target width value. Both the first edge and the second edge are parallel to the vehicle direction. That is, control the distance that the second layer structure extends outward to be the target width value. Among them, the target width value can be the first width value in this movement. Thus, the widening of the side pedal width is achieved, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side pedal is widened to the first width value.

[0081] Second, control the first-layer structure of the side pedal to move in the vehicle direction based on the horizontal direction, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side pedal is widened to the target side pedal width, and both the first edge and the second edge are parallel to the vehicle direction.

[0082] That is, control the first-layer structure to extend in the vehicle direction, which is applicable to the situation where the control instruction issued by the user indicates both pulling in the side step position and operating the side step widening mode. Such an extension method makes the extended side pedal closer to the door direction, avoiding physical harm to the passengers due to the excessive distance between the side step and the vehicle, and is applicable to children riding.

[0083] Third, control the first-layer structure of the side pedal to move in the vehicle direction based on the horizontal direction, and control the second-layer structure of the side pedal to move in the vehicle direction based on the horizontal direction, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side pedal is widened to the target side pedal width.

[0084] Such an extension method makes the extended side pedal closer to the door direction, avoiding physical harm to the passengers due to the excessive distance between the side step and the vehicle, and is applicable to children riding. That is, both the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure are translated in the direction of the whole vehicle, and the distance difference between the movements of the two layers is the target side pedal width, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side step is widened.

[0085] Fourth, control the first-layer structure of the side pedal to move in the vehicle direction based on the horizontal direction; control the second-layer structure of the side pedal to move in the direction opposite to the vehicle based on the horizontal direction, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side pedal is widened to the target side pedal width.

[0086] That is, the first-layer structure is translated in the direction opposite to the whole vehicle, and the second-layer structure is translated in the direction of the whole vehicle, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side step is widened. It is applicable to the situation where the control instruction issued by the user indicates both pulling in the side step position and operating the side step widening mode.

[0087] Fifth, control the first-layer structure of the side pedal to move in the direction opposite to the vehicle based on the horizontal direction, and control the second-layer structure of the side pedal to move in the direction opposite to the vehicle based on the horizontal direction, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side pedal is widened to the target side pedal width.

[0088] That is, both the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure are translated in the direction opposite to the vehicle body, and the distance difference between the two - layer structures is the width of the target side step, so as to widen the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side step. This is applicable to the situation where the control instruction issued by the user indicates both pushing the side step to a farther position and running the side - step widening mode. The process of extending the side step can be during the process of controlling the side step to move to the target side - step height, or after the process of moving the side step to the target side - step height is completed.

[0089] It should be noted that in the actual application scenario, a time limit can be set for each movement. For example, it is set to complete controlling the first - layer structure of the side step to move in the vehicle direction based on the horizontal direction within 3 seconds, and it is set to complete controlling the second - layer structure of the side step to move in the direction opposite to the vehicle based on the horizontal direction within 5 seconds. Among them, 3 seconds and 5 seconds are preset times that can be adaptively adjusted.

[0090] In a possible implementation manner, the adjusting the position of the first - layer structure of the side step and / or the position of the second - layer structure based on the state information in response to the state information meeting the preset mode startup condition includes:

[0091] Step C1: In response to at least one of the rainfall duration being greater than the third preset time, the rainfall amount being greater than the third preset rainfall amount, the wiper gear being greater than the third preset gear, the temperature and humidity on the surface of the side step being greater than the third preset temperature and humidity, and the ground flatness within the preset range of the vehicle meeting the second flatness condition, control the side step to move to the target side - step height.

[0092] Among them, the rainfall duration being greater than the third preset time, the rainfall amount being greater than the third preset rainfall amount, the wiper gear being greater than the third preset gear, the temperature and humidity on the surface of the side step being greater than the third preset temperature and humidity, and the ground flatness within the preset range of the vehicle meeting the second flatness condition are the judgment criteria for determining whether the state information meets the preset mode startup condition. When the acquired state information meets at least one of the above conditions, it indicates that the current rainfall level is the third level. In the setting of this embodiment, at this time, not only the upper - lower separation of the side - step structure and the widening of the side step are required, but also the length of the side step needs to be adjusted, that is, the third - level corresponding third - intensity anti - slip is performed. That is, the current third - level rainfall makes the ground more muddy and difficult to walk on compared to the second - level rainfall, and the side step also needs to further improve the anti - slip intensity. In the setting of this embodiment, at this time, not only the upper - lower separation of the side - step structure is required, but also the left - right separation and front - back separation of the two - layer structure of the side step are required, that is, the extension processing in two directions of the side step is further performed.

[0093] Step C2: During the process of the side pedal being deployed to the target side pedal height or after the side pedal has been at the target side pedal height for a third preset time, control at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure is a third preset value.

[0094] Among them, for the process analysis of controlling the up-and-down separation of the structure during the process of the side pedal being deployed to the target side pedal height or after the side pedal has been at the target side pedal height for a third preset time, please refer to the previous text. The process of this part is the same. There are two situations for the process of up-and-down separation of the side pedal: it can be during the process of controlling the side pedal to move to the target side pedal height, or after the process of moving the side pedal to the target side pedal height is completed. This will not be elaborated here.

[0095] Among them, for the up-and-down movement method of controlling at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground so that there is a height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure, please refer to the previous description. In this movement, it can also be one of the five up-and-down movement methods. This will not be elaborated here. It should be noted that the third preset value of the height difference in this movement can be set according to actual needs, and it can be the same as the first preset value provided in the previous text or different.

[0096] Step C3: Control at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side step is a second width value, and both the first edge and the second edge are parallel to the vehicle direction; control at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure of the side pedal to move in the direction of the vehicle head or the vehicle tail with the direction parallel to the vehicle as the reference, so that the distance between the third edge and the fourth edge of the side pedal increases to the target side pedal length, and both the third edge and the fourth edge are perpendicular to the vehicle direction.

[0097] Both the third edge and the fourth edge are perpendicular to the vehicle direction. The third edge and the fourth edge are the left and right side edges of the side pedal respectively. That is, the third edge can be the side edge of the side pedal that is close to the vehicle head and perpendicular to the vehicle direction, and the fourth edge can be the side edge of the side pedal that is perpendicular to the vehicle direction and close to the vehicle tail.

[0098] Control at least one of the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure of the side pedal to move in the direction of the vehicle head or the vehicle tail with respect to the direction parallel to the vehicle, so that the distance between the third edge and the fourth edge of the side pedal is increased to the target side - pedal length. In actual application scenarios, the following situations may exist. First, the first - layer structure moves in the direction of the vehicle head on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle. Second, the second - layer structure moves in the direction of the vehicle tail on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle. Third, both the second - layer structure and the first - layer structure move in the direction of the vehicle tail on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle. Fourth, both the second - layer structure and the first - layer structure move in the direction of the vehicle head on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle. Fifth, the second - layer structure moves in the direction of the vehicle head on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle; the first - layer structure moves in the direction of the vehicle tail on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle. Sixth, the second - layer structure moves in the direction of the vehicle tail on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle; the first - layer structure moves in the direction of the vehicle head on the premise of being parallel to the direction of the whole vehicle.

[0099] That is, the moving method in the above data is used to realize the left - right separation of the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure. The original distance between the third edge and the fourth edge is the length of the first - layer structure or the second - layer structure. After moving, the distance between the third edge and the fourth edge becomes larger, and in the maximum case, it can be greater than the sum of the length of the first - layer structure and the length of the second - layer structure. Thus, the area of the side pedal is increased from both the length and width aspects of the side pedal, and the two - layer structures obtained after separation are not completely smooth surfaces, which can also play a certain degree of anti - slip effect.

[0100] In an actual application scenario, after the distance between the third edge and the fourth edge of the side pedal is increased to the target side - pedal length, the first - layer structure or the second - layer structure can be moved up and down so that there is no height difference between the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure.

[0101] In a possible implementation manner, the response to the state information meeting the preset mode startup condition, and based on the state information, adjusting the position of the first - layer structure of the side pedal, and / or, the position of the second - layer structure, includes:

[0102] Step D1: In response to the ice - covering thickness of the side pedal being greater than the first preset ice - covering thickness, control the side pedal to move to the target side - pedal height; during the process of the side pedal unfolding to the target side - pedal height or after the side pedal is at the target side - pedal height for a first preset time, control at least one of the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure to move in the direction perpendicular to the ground so that the height difference between the first - layer structure and the second - layer structure is a fourth preset value.

[0103] That is, the current step corresponds to the scenario where the side pedals of the vehicle are frozen in snowy weather. When the vehicle detects that the ice thickness on the side pedals is greater than the first preset ice thickness, the two-layer structure of the side pedals is activated to move up and down, causing the ice attached to the surfaces of the two-layer structure to crack.

[0104] In this ice-breaking process, for the movement modes of the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure, any one of the five movement modes provided in the foregoing steps can also be adopted, which will not be elaborated here. In actual application scenarios, the movement mode can be selected according to actual needs.

[0105] Step D2: In response to the ice thickness on the side pedals being less than the second preset ice thickness, control at least one of the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that the height difference between the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure is the fifth preset value.

[0106] It should be noted that at this time, the height difference of the fourth preset value between the two-layer structure caused by ice-breaking may be relatively large in order to break the ice attached to the surface of the side pedals more quickly. This height difference may not be suitable for the subsequent use of the side pedals by the vehicle occupants. Therefore, after the ice-breaking is completed, the height difference between the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure can be readjusted. That is, when it is detected that the ice thickness on the side pedals is less than the second preset ice thickness, control the first-layer structure and / or the second-layer structure to move, so that the height difference between the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure is the fifth preset value, and then subsequent use can be carried out.

[0107] For the movement modes of the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure, any one of the five movement modes provided in the foregoing steps can also be adopted, which will not be elaborated here. In actual application scenarios, the movement mode can be selected according to actual needs.

[0108] In a possible implementation manner, the adjusting the position of the first-layer structure and / or the second-layer structure of the side pedals based on the status information in response to the status information meeting the preset mode activation condition includes:

[0109] Step E1: In response to the ice thickness on the side pedals being greater than the first preset ice thickness and the ground ice coverage rate within the preset range of the vehicle being greater than the first preset ice coverage rate, control the side pedals to move to the target side pedal height; during the process of the side pedals being deployed to the target side pedal height or after the side pedals are at the target side pedal height for the first preset time, control at least one of the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that the height difference between the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure is the fourth preset value.

[0110] Among them, the first preset icing rate is used to characterize the icing condition of the ground within the preset range of the current vehicle. The preset range of the vehicle can be set to the range near one meter from the car door. When it is detected that 50% of the part within the preset range is covered with ice, the current adjustment method is started, and the anti-slip performance of the side step is increased from two aspects: the height difference of the side step and the width of the side step.

[0111] Step E2, in response to the icing thickness of the side step being less than the second preset icing thickness, control at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground, so that the height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure is the fifth preset value; control at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction away from the vehicle with the horizontal direction as the reference, so that the distance between the first edge and the second edge of the side step is widened to the third width value, and both the first edge and the second edge are parallel to the vehicle direction.

[0112] Among them, for controlling at least one of the first layer structure and the second layer structure to move in a direction perpendicular to the ground so that there is a height difference between the first layer structure and the second layer structure, the up and down movement modes are as described above. In this movement, it can also be one of the five up and down movement modes, which will not be elaborated here. The widening and extension of the side step this time can also be one of the five widening methods mentioned above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0113] In a possible implementation, during the movement of the first layer structure of the side step and / or the second layer structure of the side step, when it is detected that there is a target object within the target range of the first layer structure of the side step and / or the second layer structure of the side step, adjust the side step to a stationary state. That is, start the anti-pinch protection mode to prevent damage to the target object. Subsequently, the first layer structure and the second layer structure can be adjusted to the default parking position of the side step.

[0114] In an actual application scenario, the current obstruction situation of the side step can be fed back to the head-up display system, and the position of the target object and the side step obstruction warning can be displayed on the front windshield.

[0115] When it is detected that the current temperature of the side step is higher than the first preset temperature value or the temperature of the motor controlling the operation of the side step is higher than the second preset temperature value, adjust the side step to a stationary state and do not perform subsequent adjustment processes.

[0116] Regarding the control process of the electric side step in this mode, reference can be made to Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the side pedal control process provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the CEM (Central Electronic Module, vehicle electronic module) is used to feedback the power mode of the vehicle and the adjustment instruction for indicating the widening of the side pedal to the side pedal controller. This adjustment instruction is obtained through human recognition. That is, when the vehicle occupants recognize that the current application scenario requires a widened side pedal, they send a mode selection instruction to the CEM, and then the CEM sends an adjustment instruction for indicating the widening of the side pedal to the side pedal controller. The controller uses the side pedal drive motor and the side pedal intelligent bench drive motor to drive the side pedal motor, thereby performing relevant control on the position adjustment of the first layer and / or the second layer of the side pedal. When the side pedal is obstructed during movement, the obstruction situation is fed back to the head-up display system. Among them, the drive motor records the target adjustment position based on Hall position memory. Hall position memory is a technology for storing and reading digital information, which uses the Hall effect to achieve. On a magnetic material, by applying magnetic fields at different positions, the material can have different magnetic properties at different positions. In this way, digital information can be encoded into magnetic states at different positions, and then the digital information can be obtained by reading the magnetic states at different positions.

[0117] In a possible implementation manner, an anti-slip structure is provided on the surface of the first-layer structure and / or the second-layer structure, and a hole-shaped drainage structure is provided on the anti-slip structure.

[0118] That is, a hole-shaped drainage structure can be provided on at least one of the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure for draining accumulated water.

[0119] In a possible implementation manner, the adjustment of the position of the first-layer structure and / or the second-layer structure of the side pedal according to the adjustment instruction includes:

[0120] When the adjustment instruction is used to indicate closing the side pedal, control the first-layer structure and the second-layer structure of the side pedal to move to the default parking position of the side pedal.

[0121] That is, after receiving the closing signal, all movement controls of the side pedal are synchronously closed and move to the default parking position of the side pedal within a preset time. Among them, the default parking position can be set by the vehicle occupants according to actual needs.

[0122] It should be noted that the above-mentioned several preset times or preset positions can be adjusted and set according to actual needs.
