[0037] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more. Additionally, the use of "based on" or "in accordance with" implies openness and inclusivity, because a process, step, calculation, or other action "based on" or "in accordance with" one or more of the stated conditions or values may, in practice, be based on additional conditions or values beyond those stated.

[0039] An embodiment of the present invention provides a braking control method. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the method includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 101: When the vehicle is under high-voltage power-on, obtain the VCU communication status, the vehicle speed uploaded by the VCU, and the wheel speeds uploaded by the wheel speed sensors through the braking controller.

[0041] Specifically, the braking controller receives the vehicle speed collected by the VCU from the transmission through the CAN bus, and receives the wheel speed sensor information uploaded by each wheel end through a hard wire or the CAN bus.

[0042] Step 102: Determine whether the vehicle has an abnormal power-off according to the VCU communication status, the vehicle speed uploaded by the VCU, and the wheel speeds uploaded by the wheel speed sensors.

[0043] Specifically, the VCU communication status refers to the communication status between the braking control system and the VCU. The vehicle power-off refers to the vehicle's high-voltage power cut-off.

[0044] In a possible implementation manner, the determining whether the vehicle has an abnormal power-off according to the VCU communication status, the vehicle speed uploaded by the VCU, and the wheel speeds uploaded by the wheel speed sensors includes:

[0045] Referring to Figure 3 , if the VCU communication status is normal, the vehicle speed uploaded by the VCU is 0, and the wheel speeds uploaded by the wheel speed sensors are 0, it is determined that the vehicle has a non-abnormal power-off, that is, a normal power-off.

[0046] If the VCU communication is lost, the vehicle speed uploaded by the VCU is not 0, or the wheel speeds uploaded by the wheel speed sensors are not 0, it is determined that the vehicle has an abnormal power-off.

[0047] Step 103: If it is not an abnormal power-off, start the power-off automatic parking function and control the braking controller to apply the maximum parking braking force; if it is an abnormal power-off, apply a linear braking force through the braking controller according to the mass of the vehicle and the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off.

[0048] Specifically, the braking force applied by the brake can be the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic system, the air pressure of the pneumatic braking system, or the braking torque of the EMB system. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0049] In a possible implementation manner, if it is an abnormal power-off, according to the mass of the vehicle and the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off, a linear braking force is applied through the brake controller, including:

[0050] Obtain the mass of the vehicle before power-off;

[0051] Read the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle obtained by the wheel speed sensor;

[0052] Determine the deceleration of braking based on the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle;

[0053] Determine the applied braking force according to the deceleration and the mass of the vehicle.

[0054] Specifically, the mass of the vehicle can be calculated and determined by the brake controller. The brake controller collects vehicle acceleration or deceleration information through the acceleration sensor to calculate the vehicle mass, and the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off is obtained by the feedback of the wheel speed sensor. The brake controller applies a corresponding deceleration according to the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle to avoid vehicle rear-end collisions. Finally, the braking force is determined according to the magnitude of the deceleration and the mass of the vehicle.

[0055] In a possible implementation manner, the determining the deceleration of braking based on the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle includes:

[0056] If the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the first vehicle speed threshold, the deceleration of braking is the first deceleration;

[0057] If the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the second vehicle speed threshold and less than the first vehicle speed threshold, the deceleration of braking is the second deceleration;

[0058] If the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the third vehicle speed threshold and less than the second vehicle speed threshold, the deceleration of braking is the third deceleration;

[0059] If the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power-off of the vehicle is less than the third vehicle speed threshold, the maximum parking braking force is applied to the vehicle; wherein, the first vehicle speed threshold is greater than the second vehicle speed threshold; the second vehicle speed threshold is greater than the third vehicle speed threshold; the first deceleration is greater than the second deceleration; the second deceleration is greater than the third deceleration.

[0060] Exemplarily, the first vehicle speed threshold can be set to 60 km / h, the second vehicle speed threshold can be set to 20 km / h, and the third vehicle speed threshold can be set to 7 km / h. The first deceleration is set to 5 m / s 2 , the second deceleration is set to 4 m / s 2 , and the third deceleration is set to 3 m / s 2 . Here, only the recommended values under normal control are used for illustration. The specific vehicle speed thresholds and deceleration values can be set by the implementer according to the vehicle operation scenario. If the vehicle has an intelligent connected vehicle system with vehicle-road cooperation or vehicle-vehicle cooperation, the deceleration value can be adjusted according to the road conditions and vehicle conditions to ensure driving safety. When the vehicle speed during abnormal power-off exceeds 60 km / h, compared with the vehicle speeds in other vehicle speed threshold ranges, the vehicle spacing corresponding to this vehicle speed is relatively large at this time, and a deceleration of 5 m / s can be applied 2 to stop the vehicle. When the vehicle speed during abnormal power-off is greater than or equal to 20 km / h and less than 60 km / h, compared with the previous situation, the vehicle spacing is relatively shorter, and a deceleration of 4 m / s can be applied 2 . When the vehicle speed during abnormal power-off is greater than or equal to 7 km / h and less than 20 km / h, compared with the previous two vehicle speeds, the vehicle is driving at a low speed, and a deceleration of 3 m / s can be applied 2 . In the above three cases, after determining the corresponding deceleration, refer to the axle load transfer value under this braking deceleration with a road adhesion coefficient of 0.7 for front and rear axle braking force distribution, apply the braking force, and at the same time, the vehicle can be transferred to a safe area by steering. Specifically, the brake controller calculates the braking torque required to be distributed to each wheel according to the deceleration requirement and the front and rear axle braking force distribution principle, and drives the electronic control braking system to apply the braking force to the front and rear axles, or applies the braking force to each wheel in the electro-mechanical braking system

[0061] When the vehicle speed during abnormal power-off is less than 7 km / h, the wheel speed sensor feedback of the vehicle information is not accurate enough at this time. Compared with the above situation, the vehicle is driving at an ultra-low speed, and the power-off parking logic can be adopted to apply the maximum parking braking force to stop the vehicle

[0062] In a possible implementation manner, the vehicle is equipped with a redundant power supply, and when the vehicle has an abnormal power-off, the redundant power supply supplies power to the brake controller of the vehicle

[0063] Specifically, as Figure 4As shown in the figure, where the dashed line represents the control power and the solid line represents the power supply. Here, only the vehicle with an EMB system configuration is used for illustration, and the system configuration of the vehicle is not limited in this embodiment. The voltage of the EMB system is 48V. To meet the requirement of 8 - 9 full - stroke brakings when the power supply fails, a 48V battery or a supercapacitor module is configured separately. On this basis, a 48V - to - 24V DC - DC converter is added to provide 24V power redundancy. When the 24V power supply of the vehicle fails, the redundant power supplies power to the brake controller to control the vehicle to brake according to the abnormal power - off logic, thus ensuring driving safety.

[0064] When the vehicle is powered off, the 24V control power is normal, and the vehicle control unit (VCU) and the brake controller are in the power - on and wake - up mode. After the vehicle has completed parking, the VCU and the brake controller can be powered off.

[0065] In a possible implementation, when the vehicle is abnormally powered off, the redundant power is used to control the brake lights and the hazard lights on the vehicle to turn on.

[0066] Specifically, the redundant power can also supply power to the vehicle control unit (VCU) and other control systems, such as for controlling the brake lights and the hazard lights, to ensure certain signal transmission and control functions, improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing redundant power, when the vehicle has an abnormal power cut - off, power is supplied to the brake controller to ensure parking safety. By distinguishing normal power - off and abnormal power - off and implementing corresponding braking schemes, the vehicle locking and skidding caused by unexpected braking are avoided, and accidents are avoided to a certain extent. In the case of abnormal power - off, according to the vehicle speed, linear braking force is applied, thus reducing the risk of vehicle skidding. At the same time, the brake lights and the hazard lights are turned on to remind the following vehicle, reducing the risk of rear - end collision.

[0068] The embodiment of the present invention provides a braking control device, including:

[0069] An acquisition module, configured to obtain the VCU communication status, the vehicle speed uploaded by the VCU, and the wheel speed uploaded by the wheel speed sensor through the brake controller when the vehicle is under high - voltage power - off;

[0070] A judgment module, configured to judge whether the vehicle is abnormally powered off according to the VCU communication status, the vehicle speed uploaded by the VCU, and the wheel speed uploaded by the wheel speed sensor;

[0071] A processing module, configured to, if it is not abnormally powered off, start the power - off and automatic parking function and control the brake controller to apply the maximum parking braking force; if it is abnormally powered off, apply linear braking force through the brake controller according to the mass of the vehicle and the vehicle speed at the time of abnormal power - off.

[0072] An embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle, which includes a processor and a memory. At least one instruction or at least one program segment is stored in the memory, and the at least one instruction or at least one program segment is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the braking control method as described in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0074] As described above, the above is only a specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
