[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work based on the embodiments in the basic application are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0049] As Figure 1 , 2 , 10, the figure includes the car tail of the door and the ground door, the door through the connection of the first execution device to make it in the open and closed position and closed position hinge movement, the ground door through the connection of the second execution device to make it in the open and closed position and closed position hinge movement.

[0050] The first execution device and the second execution device are connected to the same control unit, the first execution device and the second execution device are controlled by a control unit, real-time receiving speed and position information of the first execution device and the second execution device, and joint speed and position information are calculated in real time to obtain the current motion characteristics of the door and the ground door, and the future motion trend is adjusted in time according to the situation.

[0051] In normal state, the control unit receives external control instruction, controls the first execution device, the second execution device, and the system of the door and the ground door joint motion to the maximum opening position or the car door locking position, as Figure 1 As shown in figure Figure 2 , the door and the ground door are normally closed, as , the door and the ground door are normally opened.

[0052] Meanwhile, the control unit also controls the motion control of the door and the ground door and the control of the door and the ground door lock execution device. The control unit advocates the logic of the door and the ground door in the door, the door priority.

[0053] Figure 9 The control unit has the data and state information of the door sensor and the first execution device; the control unit also has the data and state information of the ground door sensor and the second execution device, according to the real-time data to judge whether there is potential collision problem, and timely adjust the speed or / and position, or timely alarm, potential collision problem as , the main conditions of the collision are two: 1) at least one door in the shadow part of the potential collision area in the figure, which is identified by the position sensor on the door and the ground door; 2) the difference between the angle a of the door and the angle b of the ground door is too small, and is lower than 10°-20°.

[0054] The control unit is provided with opening instruction and closing instruction, the opening instruction includes: the first opening instruction of opening the door and the ground door at the same time, the second opening instruction of opening only the door, the third opening instruction of opening only the ground door, the closing instruction includes: the first closing instruction of closing the door and the ground door at the same time, the second closing instruction of closing only the door in the ground door first closing position state, the third closing instruction of closing only the ground door, the control unit will make corresponding action according to the opening instruction and the closing instruction.

[0055] The control unit receives the speed and position information of the first and second execution devices, and combines the speed and position information to perform real-time calculation to obtain the current motion characteristics and future motion trend of the sky door and the ground door, so as to realize the pre-judgment of whether there is a collision risk in the area to be passed based on the motion trend before or during the automatic motion process:

[0056] A) If the control unit determines that there is a collision risk between the sky door and the ground door in the area to be passed, but the collision risk can be avoided by speed control or / and action sequence, the action is completed according to the safe speed or / and safe sequence calculated by the control unit;

[0057] B) If the control unit determines that the collision risk cannot be avoided in the motion to be performed, the control unit causes the door to produce a certain degree of shaking by driving the door in the positive and negative directions for several times in the form of alarm or without obstruction to the open door, so as to significantly prompt the user that the current position state of the sky door and the ground door does not meet the requirements of the motion trend, so that the system cannot respond to the motion requirements.

[0058] As Figures 1-8 , wherein Figure 1 is the normal fully closed state, Figure 2 is the normal fully open state, resulting in Figures 3-8 The position state of the sky door and the ground door may be caused by various reasons, mainly divided into two categories: 1) the sky door and the ground door are interrupted by external reasons during automatic operation; 2) the sky door and the ground door are moved to the position shown in the figure by external factors, such as manual or other external force.

[0059] The control unit controls the first and second execution devices to drive the sky door and the ground door, and the sky door and the ground door are respectively set with a reference speed, and the control unit adjusts the speed in real time when encountering different states, that is, the angular velocity is additionally increased by [5~20]° / s or the angular velocity is additionally reduced by [5~20]° / s relative to the original set reference speed. Example one:

[0060] The control unit drives the sky door and the ground door according to the input instruction and the speed of real-time control, and the input instruction is the first door opening instruction:

[0061] a, when the sky door is located outside the ground door, the sky door is driven to move towards the second opening angle of the sky door at a relatively fast set speed relative to the ground door according to the logic of giving priority to the opening of the sky door, and the ground door is driven to move towards the second opening angle of the ground door at a relatively slow set speed after the ground door is determined to have no collision risk based on the speed and position of the sky door. See Figure 1 , 3, the state of the sky door and the ground door shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 8, at this time the sky door is located outside the ground door, and the sky door is driven according to the sky door priority opening logic, and the motion control of the sky door is controlled by the control unit, so that the sky door moves at a speed of [5-20] ° / s additionally increased on the basis of the original set speed towards the second opening angle of the sky door, and after the ground door is dynamically calculated based on the speed and position of the sky door and determined to have no collision risk, the ground door is driven to move at a speed of [5-20] ° / s additionally reduced on the basis of the original set speed towards the second opening angle of the ground door, and the speed is adjusted through the speed adjustment, Figure 1 、 3 , the state of the sky door and the ground door shown in Figs. 5, 6 and 8 can be smoothly operated according to the first opening instruction to Figure 2 state;

[0062] b. When the ground door is located outside the sky door, and the lower horizontal line of the sky door is higher than the highest position of the upper horizontal line of the ground door, then the sky door is driven to move towards the second opening angle of the sky door at a relatively fast speed relative to the ground door according to the sky door priority opening logic, and after the ground door is dynamically calculated based on the speed and position of the sky door and determined to have no collision risk, the ground door is driven to move towards the second opening angle of the ground door at a relatively slow speed, as shown in Figure 7 , at this time, although the ground door is located outside the sky door, the lower horizontal line of the sky door is higher than the highest position of the upper horizontal line of the ground door, and the sky door will not collide with the ground door according to the sky door priority opening logic, the motion control of the sky door is controlled by the control unit, so that the sky door moves at a speed of [5-20] ° / s additionally increased on the basis of the original set speed towards the second opening angle of the sky door, and the ground door is driven to move at a speed of [5-20] ° / s additionally reduced on the basis of the original set speed towards the second opening angle of the ground door; as shown in Figure 4 , the lower horizontal line of the sky door is lower than the highest position of the upper horizontal line of the ground door, then the ground door is driven to move towards the second opening angle of the ground door at a relatively fast speed relative to the sky door, and after the ground door is dynamically calculated based on the speed and position of the sky door and determined to have no collision risk, the ground door is driven to move towards the second opening angle of the ground door at a relatively slow speed, that is, the sky door and the ground door can be opened at the same time, the relatively fast speed refers to a speed of [5-20] ° / s additionally increased on the basis of the original set speed; the relatively slow speed refers to a speed of [5-20] ° / s additionally reduced on the basis of the original set speed. Example Two:

[0063] The control unit drives the sky door and the ground door according to the speed of the input instruction for execution and real-time control, and the instruction is the second opening instruction:

[0064] a. When the sky door is located outside the ground door, the sky door moves towards the second opening angle of the sky door, and the ground door does not act, as shown in Figure 1 、 35, 6, and 8: The top gate is located outside the bottom gate. At this time, under the second opening command, the control unit controls the first actuator to open the top gate directly at the set reference speed.

[0065] b. When the Earth Gate is located outside the Heaven Gate, and the lower horizontal line of the Heaven Gate is higher than the highest point of the upper horizontal line of the Earth Gate, then the Earth Gate moves according to the second opening angle of the Heaven Gate, and the Earth Gate does not move. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 As shown, when the lower horizontal line of the Heavenly Gate is higher than the upper horizontal line of the Earthly Gate at its highest position, the control unit controls the first actuator to directly open the Heavenly Gate at a set reference speed. When the lower horizontal line of the Heavenly Gate is lower than the upper horizontal line of the Earthly Gate at its highest position, the Heavenly Gate does not move, and the Earthly Gate will either trigger an alarm or undergo several brief forward and reverse directional drives, causing the gate to vibrate to a certain extent. This serves as a clear indication to the user that the current position of both the Heavenly and Earthly Gates does not meet the movement trend requirements, preventing the system from responding to the movement requirements. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 4 In the diagram, the lower horizontal line of the top gate is lower than the highest point of the upper horizontal line of the bottom gate. Opening the top gate directly in this state will cause a collision. The control unit determines that the risk of collision cannot be avoided in the upcoming movement, so it drives the bottom gate to trigger an alarm or drives it in several short forward and reverse directions to cause the gate to vibrate to a certain extent, so as to significantly remind the user that the current position of the top and bottom gates does not meet the requirements of the movement trend, so that the system cannot respond to the movement requirements. Example 3:

[0066] The control unit executes and controls the speed of the top and bottom doors according to the input instructions, when the instruction is the third door opening instruction:

[0067] a. When both the Heavenly Gate and the Earthly Gate are in their first closed position, neither the Heavenly Gate nor the Earthly Gate will move. (See below) Figure 1 As shown, both the Heavenly Gate and the Earthly Gate are closed, and neither of them is activated.

[0068] b. When the Heavenly Gate is located outside the Earthly Gate, and the lower horizontal line of the Heavenly Gate is higher than the highest position of the upper horizontal line of the Earthly Gate, then the Earthly Gate moves towards its second open position, and the Heavenly Gate does not move. See [reference needed]. Figure 5 , 6 At this moment, the lower horizontal line of the top gate is higher than the highest point of the upper horizontal line of the bottom gate. The control unit controls the movement of the bottom gate, controlling the second actuator to move the bottom gate towards the second open position at a set reference speed. When the lower horizontal line of the top gate is lower than the highest point of the upper horizontal line of the bottom gate, the bottom gate does not move, and the top gate performs several brief forward and reverse directional drives, causing the gate to vibrate to a certain extent. This is to clearly indicate to the user that the current position of both the top and bottom gates does not meet the movement trend requirements, so that the system cannot respond to the movement requirements. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 , 8As shown, the lower horizontal line of the heaven door is lower than the highest position of the upper horizontal line of the earth door, so the earth door does not move, and the heaven door is driven in the positive and negative directions for several times to cause the door to vibrate to some extent, so as to significantly prompt the user that the current position state of the two doors does not meet the movement trend requirement, so that the system cannot respond to the movement requirement.

[0069] c. When the earth door is located outside the heaven door, the earth door is moved toward the second opening position of the earth door, and the heaven door does not move, as shown in Figure 4 、 7 In this state, the earth door can be directly opened, and the second execution device is controlled by the control unit to move the earth door toward the second opening position of the earth door at a set reference speed. Example Four:

[0070] The control unit drives the heaven door and the earth door according to the speed of the input instruction and real-time control, and the instruction is the first closing instruction:

[0071] a. When the heaven door is located outside the earth door, the earth door is driven toward the first closing position of the earth door at a relatively fast speed relative to the heaven door according to the closing priority logic of the earth door, and the heaven door is driven toward the first closing position of the heaven door at a relatively slow speed based on the dynamic calculation of the speed and position of the earth door without collision risk, as shown in Figure 2 、 3 , 5, 6, the heaven door is located outside the earth door, the control unit controls the movement control of the earth door, the earth door is moved toward the first closing position of the earth door at an angular velocity of [5~20]° / s based on the original set speed, and the heaven door is driven toward the first closing position of the heaven door at an angular velocity of [5~20]° / s based on the original set speed after the control unit determines that there is no collision risk based on the dynamic calculation of the speed and position of the earth door.

[0072] b. When the earth door is located outside the heaven door, the heaven door does not move, and the earth door is driven in the positive and negative directions for several times to cause the door to vibrate to some extent, so as to significantly prompt the user that the current position state of the two doors does not meet the movement trend requirement, so that the system cannot respond to the movement requirement, as shown in Figure 4 、 7 , the earth door is located outside the heaven door, the control unit predicts this state, and the earth door is driven in the positive and negative directions for several times to cause the door to vibrate to some extent.

[0073] c. When the earth door is in the closed state, the earth door does not move, and the heaven door is moved toward the first closing position at a set reference speed, as shown in Figure 8 , the earth door is in the closed state, and the control unit controls the movement control of the heaven door to directly move the heaven door toward the first closing position at a set reference speed. Example Five:

[0074] The control unit drives the sky door and the ground door according to the input instruction and the real-time control speed, and when the instruction is the second door closing instruction:

[0075] a. When the ground door is at the first ground door closing position, the ground door does not move, and the sky door moves towards the first sky door closing position, as shown in Figure 8 In the ground door closing state, the control unit only needs to control the movement of the sky door, and directly drives the sky door to move towards the first closing position at the set reference speed;

[0076] b. When the ground door is not at the first ground door closing position, and the sky door is outside the ground door, the ground door does not move, and the sky door performs alarm in the form of sound and light or several short positive and negative direction drives to cause the door to vibrate to a certain extent, so as to significantly prompt the user that the current position state of the sky and ground doors does not meet the movement trend requirement, so that the system cannot respond to the movement requirement. Since the second door closing instruction is a door closing instruction for closing only the sky door when the ground door is at the first ground door closing position, when the ground door is not at the first ground door closing position, as shown in Figure 2 , 3 , the state diagram of 5, 6, at this time the ground door does not move, and the sky door performs alarm in the form of sound and light or several short positive and negative direction drives to cause the door to vibrate to a certain extent, so as to significantly prompt the user that the current position state of the sky and ground doors does not meet the movement trend requirement, so that the system cannot respond to the movement requirement;

[0077] c.
