[0045] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted below for clarity and conciseness.

[0046] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0047] Figure 1 Exemplarily shows a structure of a lift related to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the lift may include two support rods and a vehicle support structure 14 that can move up and down on the support rods. It can be understood that the vehicle support structure 14 can be as Figure 1The structure of the retractable support plate is shown. The wheel is placed on the retractable support plate. In addition, the vehicle support structure 14 can also be the structure of an existing retractable support frame, and the specific structure of the vehicle support structure 14 is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. In addition, Figure 1 only the structure of a lift 10 is exemplarily shown, and for lifts with other structures, the safety control method provided in the embodiments of the present invention is also applicable.

[0048] For the lift 10, generally during vehicle 30 maintenance or vehicle servicing, such as Figure 2A as shown, the vehicle 30 drives in or is dragged in from one side. After the vehicle 30 travels to a specific position ( Figure 2B the relative position relationship between the vehicle 30 and the lift shown at the specific position), the tires of the vehicle 30 or a part of the chassis of the vehicle 30 are supported on the vehicle support structure 14, and then the vehicle support structure 14 is driven to move upward to lift the vehicle 30 ( Figure 2C the lift 10 shown lifts the vehicle 30 to a certain height).

[0049] During the process of the lift 10 lifting the vehicle 30, there may be occupants left in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 30 due to being too young or falling asleep, etc. In addition, pets, etc. may also be left in the passenger compartment. Once the vehicle support structure 14 lifts the vehicle 30, it may cause panic among the occupants or pets in the passenger compartment. If the vehicle door is opened or the window is opened or other operating components of the vehicle are touched, it will not only pose risks to the occupants or pets in the passenger compartment, but also affect vehicle maintenance or repair.

[0050] To solve the problem in the process of vehicle maintenance or repair for the scenario where a lift needs to be used, the embodiments of the present invention provide a safety control method for a lift. This safety control method can determine whether there are biological activity characteristics in the passenger compartment of the vehicle before the lift 10 lifts the vehicle 30, and only controls the lift 10 to move when there are no biological activity characteristics.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 3 shows the main flow schematic diagram of the safety control method for a lift provided by the embodiments of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, this safety control method for a lift may include the following steps:

[0052] Step S301: Determine the situation in the passenger compartment. The lift controller, in response to receiving a movement instruction for the lift it controls, determines whether there are biological activity characteristics in the passenger compartment of the vehicle; in the case K1 where it is determined that there are no biological activity characteristics in the passenger compartment, execute step S302; in the case K2 where it is determined that there are biological activity characteristics in the passenger compartment, execute step S303.

[0053] The lift controller 20 can be arranged on the lift 10 as Figure 1 shown. Additionally, the lift controller 20 can also be arranged at other positions, such as an independent device independent of the lift 10. Further, the lift controller 20 can control only one lift 10, or can control multiple lifts 10 simultaneously.

[0054] Among them, the movement instruction for the lift 10 controlled by the lift controller 20 can be a movement instruction sent by the maintenance personnel through a button, or a movement instruction sent by the maintenance personnel remotely, or a movement instruction automatically sent by the intelligent device to the lift controller when the intelligent device detects that the vehicle reaches a specific position of the lift 10.

[0055] The biological activity characteristics involved in the embodiments of the present invention generally refer to the characteristics used to indicate the presence of living beings such as occupants or pets in the vehicle cabin (such as characteristics indicating signs of human activities, signs of animal activities, etc.). Exemplarily, the characteristics can be the characteristic contour image of the occupant, the characteristic contour image of the pet, or the thermal imaging of the living being.

[0056] Step S302: Control the movement of the lift. Control the movement of the lift through the lift controller, and end the current process.

[0057] The control of the movement of the lift 10 in this step means controlling the up and down movement of the vehicle support structure 14 of the lift 10.

[0058] Step S303: Prohibit the movement of the lift.

[0059] Regarding Figure 3 the provided safety regulation method, it can determine whether there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin through the lift controller 20, and in the case where there are no biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin, control the movement of the lift 10 to avoid leaving occupants or pets in the vehicle cabin during vehicle maintenance, thereby avoiding accidents such as the opening of the vehicle door or the dropping of the occupants / pets in the cabin from the vehicle cabin during the movement of the lift and vehicle maintenance, and improving the operation safety of the lift 10 and the vehicle safety on the lift 10.

[0060] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the above lift is provided with a communication module 11, where the communication module 11 establishes a communication connection with the vehicle 30 located on the lift 10. Based on this communication connection, the specific implementation manner of the above step S301 can include: the lift controller 20 obtains the indication information indicating whether there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin from the vehicle 30 through the communication connection.

[0061] The communication module 11 can be NFC (Near Field Communication), or other near field communications such as Bluetooth or infrared near field communication. Additionally, it can also be a network communication module such as Wifi. Based on this, as Figure 1 shown, the communication module 11 can include an NFC reading device 111, and can also include other communication devices 112.

[0062] Specifically, as Figure 2A 、 Figure 2B and Figure 2C shown, an NFC device 31 can be provided on the rearview mirror of the vehicle 30. As Figure 1 and Figure 2A 、 Figure 2B and Figure 2C shown, the communication module 11 includes an NFC reading device 111. The above safety control method can further include: when the NFC reading device 111 establishes a communication connection with the NFC device 31 provided on the rearview mirror of the vehicle 30 located on the lift 10, the indication information provided by the NFC device 31 is read through the NFC reading device 111; the lift controller 20 obtains the indication information through the NFC reading device 111. It can be understood that the lift controller 20 and the NFC reading device 111 can be connected through a signal line or a wireless network. By directly obtaining the indication information from the NFC device 31 of the vehicle 30, the lift controller 20 can respond more quickly to whether to control the movement of the lift 10. Through the interaction between the lift controller 20, the NFC reading device 111 in the communication module 11 and the NFC device 31 on the vehicle 30, automatic control of the lift 10 is achieved, avoiding the vehicle 30 waiting at the position of the lift 10 for a long time, and ensuring the efficiency of the maintenance or repair of the vehicle 30.

[0063] It can be understood that in addition to being installed on the rearview mirror of the vehicle 30, the NFC device 31 can also be installed at other positions of the vehicle 30, such as an NFC device embedded in the door, etc., as long as it is convenient for the NFC reading device 111 to interact with the NFC device 31. The specific positions of the NFC reading device 111 and the NFC device 31 are not limited here.

[0064] Regarding the realization of controlling the lift 10 through the interaction between the NFC reading device 111 and the NFC device 31, there are two implementation methods.

[0065] Implementation Method 1: The in-vehicle processor installed on the vehicle analyzes whether there is biological activity in the vehicle cabin, generates a first feature code matching the analysis result, and sends the first feature code to the NFC device 31. Based on this, the specific implementation of reading the indication information provided by the NFC device 31 through the NFC reading device 111 may include: reading the first feature code provided by the NFC device 31 through the NFC reading device 111, and parsing the indication information from the first feature code. This process requires the participation of the in-vehicle processor, that is, the in-vehicle processor analyzes whether there is biological activity or a living body in the vehicle cabin of the vehicle 30, enabling the lift controller 20 to directly obtain the information indicating the biological activity characteristics from the NFC reading device 111, reducing the resource requirements for the lift controller 20, and thus reducing the cost of the lift controller 20.

[0066] Implementation Method 2: As Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C shown, the vehicle 30 is communicatively connected to the cloud 40, and the lift controller 20 is also communicatively connected to the cloud 40. Based on this, the in-vehicle processor installed on the vehicle 30 generates a second feature code for the storage address of the vehicle cabin image in the cloud 40; the in-vehicle processor sends the second feature code to the NFC device 31; the NFC reading device 111 reads the second feature code provided by the NFC device 31 and sends the second feature code to the lift controller 20; the lift controller 20 obtains the current vehicle cabin image of the vehicle 30 from the cloud 40 and analyzes whether there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin of the vehicle 30 based on the current vehicle cabin image. Compared with Implementation Method 1, this Implementation Method 2 reduces the participation of the in-vehicle processor, does not require excessive improvement of the vehicle 30, and can also achieve obtaining the current vehicle cabin image inside the vehicle 30.

[0067] In addition, in order to reduce the computational resource overhead of the lift controller 20, the cloud 40 can also analyze the current vehicle cabin image. If the second feature code indicates the analysis result of the cloud for the current vehicle cabin image (the analysis result directly gives whether there are biological activity characteristics or a living body in the vehicle cabin), then the lift controller 20 can directly learn whether there are biological activity characteristics or a living body in the vehicle cabin from the storage address in the cloud indicated by the second feature code without having to analyze the image again.

[0068] The above-mentioned Method 1 and Method 2 can coexist. Specifically, when the NFC device can provide the first signature and the second signature simultaneously, the above-mentioned security control method may further include: when the in-vehicle processor fails to analyze whether there is biological activity in the vehicle cabin or fails to generate the first signature matching the analysis result, execute the step of sending the second signature to the NFC device. That is, the method corresponding to the first signature of the in-vehicle processor analysis result can be selected first (i.e., the above-mentioned Implementation Method 1), and only after the failure of Implementation Method 1, Implementation Method 2 is carried out, so as to improve the reliability of determining whether there is a biological activity feature in the vehicle cabin and further improve the operation safety of the lift.

[0069] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the lift 10 is equipped with a camera 12. Based on this camera 12, the above-mentioned security control method may further include: taking a real-time vehicle cabin image of the vehicle 30 on the lift 10 through the camera 12 and sending the taken real-time vehicle cabin image to the lift controller 20; analyzing the real-time vehicle cabin image through the lift controller 20 and determining whether there is a biological activity feature in the vehicle cabin of the vehicle according to the analysis result. It can be understood that the camera 12 is communicatively connected to the lift controller 20. On the basis of the above-mentioned scheme in which the vehicle 30 directly provides the indication information indicating whether there is a biological activity feature in the vehicle cabin for the lift controller 20, the camera 12 provides the lift controller 20 with a real-time vehicle cabin image, and the lift controller 20 determines whether there is a biological activity feature in the vehicle cabin of the vehicle by analyzing the real-time vehicle cabin image can be a supplementary scheme, that is, when the lift controller 20 fails to obtain the indication information from the NFC device 31 of the vehicle 30 through the NFC reading device 111 or the vehicle 30 is not equipped with the NFC device 31, the scheme of cooperating the camera 12 with the lift controller 20 can be used to analyze whether there is biological activity in the vehicle cabin, so as to further improve the operation safety of the lift.

[0070] Further, the above-mentioned security control method may further include: positioning the lift 10 controlled by the lift controller 20 and regulating the warning device 13 provided on the lift 10 according to the position of the lift 10. Among them, the position of the lift 10 refers to the height or position where the vehicle support structure 14 of the lift 10 is located. As Figure 2A and Figure 2B shown, the vehicle support structure 14 is located on the ground. Figure 2C shown, the vehicle support structure 14 moves upward and drives the vehicle 30 to rise to a certain height. By regulating the warning device 13 provided on the lift 10, the warning device 13 can be used to remind the surrounding personnel to pay attention to the operation of the lift 10, and further improve the operation safety of the lift 10.

[0071] Specifically, the warning device 13 can be a warning light and / or a buzzer. Specific implementation manners of regulating the warning device 13 disposed on the lift 10 can include: during the movement of the lift 10, regulating the warning light disposed on the lift 10 to flash and / or the buzzer disposed on the lift 10 to buzz. Further, after the lift 10 reaches the working position, regulating the warning light disposed on the lift 10 to be constantly on and / or the buzzer disposed on the lift 10 to stop working. Additionally, after the lift 10 returns to the initial position, turning off the warning light disposed on the lift 10 and stopping the buzzer disposed on the lift 10 from working. By controlling the warning device 13 such as the warning light and / or the buzzer to generate different warning prompts when the lift 10 is in different positions, the surrounding personnel can be informed of the current state or position of the lift 10, so as to take relevant countermeasures in a timely manner.

[0072] The following takes Figure 2A 、 Figure 2B and Figure 2C as examples to detail the safety regulation method for a vehicle lift. As Figure 4 shown, the safety regulation method can include the following steps:

[0073] Step S401: The vehicle 30 is communicatively connected to the lift 10. The vehicle 30 travels to the lift 10, and a communication connection is established between the NFC device 31 on the vehicle 30 and the NFC reading device 111 on the lift 10. In the case where the communication connection is successful Y1, step S402 is executed; in the case where the communication connection fails Y2, step S408 is executed.

[0074] Exemplarily, as Figure 2A shown, when the NFC device 31 on the rearview mirror of the vehicle 30 passes by the lift 10, a communication connection is established between the NFC device 31 on the vehicle 30 and the NFC reading device 111 on the lift 10.

[0075] Step S402: Obtain indication information. The NFC reading device 111 on the lift 10 obtains the indication information indicating whether there is a biological activity feature in the vehicle cabin from the NFC device 31. In the case where the indication information indicates that there is no biological activity feature in the vehicle cabin Y3, step S403 is executed; in the case where the indication information indicates that there is a biological activity feature in the vehicle cabin Y4, step S407 is executed.

[0076] Step S403: Control the lift 10 to work. During the lifting process of the lift 10 Y5, step S404 is executed; when the lift 10 is lifted to the working position Y6, step S405 is executed; during the lowering process of the lift 10 Y7, step S404 is executed; when the lift 10 returns to the ground Y8, step S406 is executed.

[0077] If the subsequent vehicle 30 continues to move forward, the communication between the NFC device 31 on the vehicle 30 and the NFC reading device 111 on the lift 10 is disconnected. After the vehicle reaches the position as shown in Figure 2B , the lift 10 can enter the working state and lift the vehicle 30 to the position as shown in Figure 2C .

[0078] Step S404: Control the warning light to flash and the buzzer to sound, and end the current process.

[0079] Step S405: Control the warning light to be constantly on and the buzzer to stop sounding, and end the current process.

[0080] Step S406: Control the warning light to go out and the buzzer to stop sounding, and end the current process.

[0081] Step S407: Prohibit the lift 10 from working, and end the current process.

[0082] The above steps S403 to S407 can be controlled by the staff or, as in the above embodiment, by the lift controller 20.

[0083] Step S408: The camera 12 takes an image of the vehicle cabin, and the camera 12 on the lift 10 takes an image of the vehicle cabin.

[0084] Step S409: Analyze the image of the vehicle cabin to determine whether there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin. In the case Y9 where there are no biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin, execute step S403; in the case Y10 where there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin, execute step S407.

[0085] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a safety regulation system for a vehicle lift. As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C , the safety regulation system for a vehicle lift may include: a lift controller 20 and a lift 10. Among them,

[0086] The lift controller 20, in response to receiving a movement instruction for the lift it controls, determines whether there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin of the vehicle 30;

[0087] The lift controller 20 is further configured to control the lift 10 to move in the case where it is determined that there are no biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin.

[0088] It should be noted that the number of the lifts 10 can be one or multiple.

[0089] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1As shown in FIG. 2 , the lift 10 may be provided with a communication module 11 , and the communication module 11 establishes a communication connection with a vehicle 30 located on the lift 10 .

[0090] The lift controller 20 is further used to obtain indication information indicating whether there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin from the vehicle through a communication connection.

[0091] Further, as shown in FIG2 , an NFC device 31 is provided on the rearview mirror of the vehicle 30. Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 2 , the communication module 11 may include an NFC reading device 111 .

[0092] When the NFC reader 111 establishes a communication connection with the NFC device 31 provided on the rearview mirror of the vehicle 30 located on the lift 10, the NFC reader 111 is used to read the indication information provided by the NFC device 31; the lift controller 20 is further used to obtain the indication information through the NFC reader 111.

[0093] Furthermore, the on-board processor of the vehicle 30 analyzes whether there is biological activity in the vehicle cabin, generates a first feature code matching the analysis result, and sends the first feature code to the NFC device 31; based on this, the NFC reader 111 is used to read the first feature code provided by the NFC device 31 and parse the indication information from the first feature code. Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 2C As shown, the above safety control system for the vehicle lift may further include: a cloud 40.

[0094] Generate a second characteristic code for the storage address of the cabin image in the cloud 40 by using an onboard processor disposed on the vehicle 30; and send the second characteristic code to the NFC device 31 by using the onboard processor;

[0095] The NFC reading device 111 is further used to read the second feature code provided by the NFC device and send the second feature code to the lift controller 20;

[0096] The lift controller 20 is further used to obtain a current cabin image of the vehicle 30 from the cloud 40 , and analyze whether there are biological activity features in the cabin of the vehicle 30 based on the current cabin image.

[0097] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, in the above safety control system for a vehicle lift, the lift 10 is equipped with a camera 12;

[0098] The camera 12 is used to capture a real-time cabin image of the vehicle 30 on the lift 10 and send the captured real-time cabin image to the lift controller 20;

[0099] The lift controller 20 is further configured to analyze the real-time cabin image, and determine whether there are biological activity characteristics in the cabin of the vehicle 30 according to the analysis result.

[0100] Further, as Figure 1 shown, for the safety control system of the vehicle lift described above, a warning device 13 is installed on the lift 10.

[0101] The lift controller 20 is further configured to locate the position of the lift 10 it controls, and regulate the warning device 13 provided on the lift 10 according to the position of the lift 10.

[0102] Specifically, the lift controller 20 is further configured to regulate the flashing of the warning light provided on the lift 10 and / or the beeping of the buzzer provided on the lift 10 during the movement of the lift 10.

[0103] The lift controller 20 is further configured to regulate the warning light provided on the lift 10 to be always on and / or the buzzer provided on the lift 10 to stop working after the lift 10 reaches the working position.

[0104] The lift controller 20 is further configured to turn off the warning light provided on the lift 10 and stop the buzzer provided on the lift 10 from working after the lift 10 returns to the initial position.

[0105] Further, an embodiment of the present invention also provides an electronic device. The electronic device can be applied to a lift, and may include:

[0106] One or more processors;

[0107] A storage device for storing one or more programs,

[0110] When the computer program is executed by a vehicle-mounted processor, it implements the safety control method for the lift provided in the above embodiment.

[0111] The safety control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention determines whether there are biological activity characteristics in the vehicle cabin through the lift controller, and controls the movement of the lift when there are no biological activity characteristics in the cabin, so as to avoid leaving occupants or pets in the cabin during vehicle maintenance, thereby avoiding accidents such as the opening of the vehicle door or the dropping of the occupants / pets in the cabin during the movement of the lift and vehicle maintenance, and improving the operating safety of the lift and the safety of the vehicle on the lift.
