[0061] The specific embodiments of the application have been shown in the above drawings, and will be described in more detail hereinafter. The drawings and the written description are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the application for those skilled in the art by referring to the specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The description of the exemplary embodiments is not meant to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0063] To facilitate the understanding of the technical content of the present application, the application scenarios of the present application are described in detail below. Figure 1 The application scenario schematic diagram provided for the present application is shown in Figure 1 , the soft top convertible's top is at the end of the second stroke, stacked above the tailgate, since the opening mode of the soft top convertible's tailgate is to pull outwards, therefore, when the top is completely opened to the end of the second stroke, forcibly opening the tailgate will cause scratching between the tailgate and the top, causing damage to the tailgate and the top to some extent, and further affecting the normal use of the vehicle.

[0064] Therefore, the inventor considers that when the top is completely opened, the user needs to open the tailgate, the top can be controlled to close to a preset position on the roof, and after determining that the top is closed in place, the tailgate opening means is controlled to open, avoiding scratching between the tailgate and the top stacked above it when the tailgate is opened, thereby effectively solving the problem of user intervention when the top is completely opened and the tailgate needs to be opened.

[0065] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0066] Figure 2 The flowchart of the control method of the soft top convertible provided for Embodiment One of the present application is shown in Figure 2 , which comprises:

[0067] S101, when the tailgate of the soft top convertible is in a closed state and the top is at the end of the second stroke, if a tailgate opening instruction is obtained, the top is controlled to close to the front end of the second stroke.

[0068] Wherein, the stroke of the top of the soft top convertible from completely closed to completely opened includes a first stroke and a second stroke; the front end of the second stroke is a preset position of the roof of the soft top convertible; and the end of the second stroke is the upper edge position of the tailgate of the soft top convertible.

[0069] It should be noted that the scheme is used for controlling the soft-top convertible car which can be completely opened to the tailgate upper edge position, and can be realized by a vehicle control unit (VCU) of the soft-top convertible car or by cooperation of a body controller, a tailgate controller and a convertible controller in the soft-top convertible car.

[0070] The soft-top convertible car includes at least two strokes from the completely closed state to the completely opened state, i.e., a first stroke and a second stroke. The front end of the first stroke is, for example, the front end of the roof, the end of the first stroke is, for example, the front end of the second stroke, and the front end of the second stroke is a preset position of the roof. The end of the second stroke is the tailgate upper edge position. Specifically, when the convertible is at the front end of the first stroke, the convertible is in the completely closed state. When the convertible is at the end of the second stroke, the convertible is in the completely opened state.

[0071] For example, the preset position can be determined according to a position at which the convertible no longer affects the opening and closing of the tailgate, for example, a position selected in the rear area of the roof. The preset position can be determined according to the actual application of the scheme, and the selection of the preset position is not limited in the application.

[0072] In actual application, the tailgate opening instruction is usually obtained based on a response to a corresponding operation of a user. For example, after the user presses a button corresponding to the tailgate switch on the car key or clicks a key corresponding to the tailgate switch in the car or presses the tailgate switch, the tailgate opening request is received in response to the operation of the user. Based on the tailgate opening request, the tailgate opening instruction is generated.

[0073] In this step, after the controller obtains the tailgate opening instruction, in order to avoid interference between the tailgate and the convertible, the convertible is first controlled to be closed to the front end of the second stroke.

[0074] In addition, in a possible implementation manner, before this step, the embodiment further provides a method for obtaining a tailgate opening instruction, comprising:

[0075] Step 1.1: receiving a tailgate opening request in response to an operation of a user on a remote key or a tailgate switch.

[0076] Step 1.2: determining whether the soft-top convertible car meets a preset tailgate opening condition according to state information of the soft-top convertible car.

[0077] In this step, it is necessary to determine whether the soft-top convertible car meets the precondition for opening the tailgate (i.e., the preset tailgate opening condition).

[0078] The state information can include a driving speed of the soft-top convertible, and the preset tailgate opening condition includes that the driving speed of the soft-top convertible is less than or equal to a preset speed, for example, 0 Km / h.

[0079] Optionally, the state information can further include a fault state of the tailgate, and the preset tailgate opening condition includes that the tailgate mechanism of the soft-top convertible is not faulty.

[0080] Step 1.3: If the soft-top convertible meets the tailgate opening condition, a tailgate opening instruction is generated.

[0081] In this step, if the soft-top convertible meets the tailgate opening condition, a tailgate opening instruction is generated to realize the opening control of the tailgate.

[0082] In this implementation, after receiving the tailgate opening request, it is determined whether the soft-top convertible currently meets the precondition for the tailgate opening, and the tailgate opening instruction for the tailgate opening control is generated only when the condition is met, thereby effectively ensuring the reliability of the tailgate opening control.

[0083] In a possible implementation, to avoid that the user selects to open the second stroke of the convertible during the process of closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke, thereby causing the convertible to be opened to the end of the second stroke again, and causing the tailgate to be unable to be opened due to the user operation problem, the method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0084] During the process of closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke, if the convertible opening instruction is detected, the response of the convertible controller to the convertible opening instruction is controlled to be closed.

[0085] The method provided in this implementation controls the response of the convertible controller to the convertible opening instruction to be closed during the process of closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke, from the beginning of closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke to the monitoring of the response message of closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke, so that the user cannot operate the second stroke of the soft-top convertible to be opened during the process of closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke, thereby effectively avoiding that the tailgate is unable to be opened due to the user operation problem.

[0086] In a possible implementation, the control of closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke can be implemented by the following method:

[0087] The convertible controller is sent a convertible closing instruction, so that the convertible controller controls the convertible to be closed to the front end of the second stroke according to the convertible closing instruction.

[0088] The convertible controller is sent a convertible closing instruction, so that the convertible controller controls the convertible to be closed to the front end of the second stroke according to the convertible closing instruction.

[0089] S102, in response to the detection of the response message that the soft top is closed to the second stroke front end, controlling the tail gate to open according to the tail gate opening instruction.

[0090] In this step, in order to ensure that the soft top is closed in place, the response message that the soft top is closed to the second stroke front end needs to be detected, and after detecting the response message, the tail gate is controlled to open according to the tail gate opening instruction.

[0091] In a possible implementation, the tail gate is controlled to open according to the tail gate opening instruction, which can be implemented in the following method:

[0092] The tail gate opening instruction is sent to the tail gate controller, so that the tail gate controller controls the tail gate to open after receiving the tail gate opening instruction.

[0093] The present implementation sends the tail gate opening instruction to the tail gate controller, so that the tail gate controller controls the tail gate to open after receiving the tail gate opening instruction, thereby achieving the opening control of the tail gate.

[0094] The control method of the soft top convertible provided in the embodiment of the application avoids the interference between the tail gate and the soft top stacked above the tail gate when the tail gate is opened, effectively solves the interference problem when the soft top is completely opened and the user needs to open the tail gate.

[0095] Further, the second embodiment of the application provides a method based on the above-mentioned embodiments, since the tail gate of the soft top convertible is in an open state and the tail gate is in an open state, there is also an interference problem between the soft top being completely opened and the closing operation of the tail gate. Based on this, the method provided in the embodiment further includes:

[0096] When the tail gate of the soft top convertible is in an open state, if the soft top opening instruction is detected, the soft top controller is controlled to close the response to the soft top opening instruction.

[0097] The present scheme controls the soft top controller to close the response to the soft top opening instruction when the tail gate of the soft top convertible is in an open state, so that the user will not be able to operate the second stroke of the soft top convertible when the tail gate is opened, thereby effectively avoiding the interference problem with the soft top convertible when the tail gate is subsequently closed.

[0098] Further, Figure 3 The flowchart of the control method of the soft top convertible provided in the third embodiment of the application is shown in Figure 3 The method provided in the embodiment of the application further includes:

[0099] S201, if the response message is not detected within the preset time length, the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is controlled again, and the response message of the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is detected again.

[0100] In a possible implementation, the action of "controlling the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end again" can be initiated by the user. For example, if the response message is not detected within the preset time length, the tail door will not be opened, at this time, the user can try to press the tail door switch again to open the tail door. Correspondingly, after the tail door opening instruction is obtained again, the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is controlled again, and the response message of the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is detected again.

[0101] The preset time length can be determined according to the time required for closing the convertible from the second stroke end to the second stroke front end. For example, the preset time length is slightly greater than the time required for closing the convertible from the second stroke end to the second stroke front end, for example, 5s, 6s, etc.

[0102] S202, if the response message of the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is detected within the preset time length, the tail door is controlled to open according to the tail door opening instruction.

[0103] In this step, after the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is controlled again, if the response message of the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is detected within the preset time length, the tail door is directly controlled to open according to the tail door opening instruction.

[0104] S203, if the response message is not detected within the preset time length, the step is repeated until the number of times that the response message is not detected reaches a preset number of times, the convertible is determined to be faulty, and the tail door is controlled to open according to the tail door opening instruction.

[0105] In this step, after the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is controlled again, if the response message of the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end is still not detected within the preset time length, the step of "controlling the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end again, and detecting the response message of the closure of the convertible to the second stroke front end again" will be repeated until the response message is not detected within the preset time length when the number of repetitions reaches the preset number of times. The convertible state is determined to be faulty, and the tail door is controlled to open according to the tail door opening instruction.

[0106] It should be understood that in order to prevent the second stroke of the convertible from failing (such as the convertible being unable to close to the position within the preset time period due to multiple stallings), the tailgate is completely unable to open. Therefore, the embodiment provides an emergency opening mechanism for the tailgate, that is, when the user attempts to open the tailgate multiple times and the controller continues to fail to detect a response message within the preset time period, it is determined that the state of the convertible is a failure state, and the tailgate is forced to open according to the tailgate opening instruction.

[0107] The specific number of the preset number of times can be determined according to the actual application of the scheme. In order to avoid the scratching problem caused by the convertible not being closed to the position as much as possible, the tailgate forced opening mechanism is started after the user attempts to open the tailgate multiple times, so as to avoid the scratching problem between the convertible and the tailgate as much as possible. Therefore, the preset number of times is at least 2 times. For example, the preset number of times is 3 times, 4 times, etc. The specific value is not limited in the present application.

[0108] A specific example will be provided below to illustrate the method provided by the embodiment, which specifically includes the following contents:

[0109] First, when the tailgate of the soft-top convertible is in a closed state and the convertible is at the end of the second stroke, if a tailgate opening instruction is obtained, the failure state of the second stroke of the convertible is obtained.

[0110] The emergency opening mechanism for the tailgate provided by the embodiment effectively avoids the situation that the tailgate cannot be opened due to multiple stallings and other failures in the second stroke of the convertible. At the same time, the scheme sets the emergency opening mechanism for the tailgate to be triggered after multiple attempts to open the tailgate, which reduces the scratching risk between the tailgate and the convertible as much as possible on the premise that the tailgate cannot be completely opened.

[0111] Figure 4 The controller interaction diagram provided by Embodiment Four of the present application provides a specific control method for a soft-top convertible, as shown in Figure 4 The method provided by the embodiment is realized by cooperation of a vehicle body controller 301, a convertible controller 302, and a tailgate controller 303. The method provided by the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0112] Step 3.1: The vehicle body controller 301 receives a tailgate opening request in response to the user's operation on the remote key or the tailgate switch; determines whether the soft-top convertible satisfies a preset tailgate opening condition according to the state information of the soft-top convertible; generates a tailgate opening instruction if the soft-top convertible satisfies the tailgate opening condition; and sends the tailgate opening instruction to the tailgate controller 303.

[0113] Step 3.2: After receiving the tailgate opening instruction, the tailgate controller 303 acquires the second stroke fault state of the convertible fed back by the convertible controller 302 forwarded by the body controller 301 and the switch state of the second stroke of the convertible:

[0114] If the fault state indicates that the second stroke of the convertible has no fault and the closing state indicates that the second stroke of the convertible is open, the body controller 301 sends a convertible closing instruction to the convertible controller 302 to make the convertible controller start closing the convertible to the front end of the second stroke, and the tailgate controller 303 starts a countdown for a preset time (such as 5s): if the tailgate controller 303 receives the response message of the convertible closing to the front end of the second stroke sent by the convertible controller 302 forwarded by the body controller 301 before the countdown ends, the tailgate controller 303 drives the tailgate to be electrically released according to the tailgate opening instruction to open the tailgate, and the counter is cleared; if the tailgate controller 303 does not receive the response message of the convertible closing to the front end of the second stroke sent by the convertible controller 302 forwarded by the body controller 301 before the countdown ends, the counter is incremented by 1. If the current tailgate opening instruction is not opened, the user can try to trigger the tailgate opening request again to send the tailgate opening instruction to the tailgate controller again and execute step 3.2 again until the counter is equal to a preset number (such as 3), the tailgate controller 303 sends a fault state update instruction to the convertible controller 302 through the body controller 301 to make the convertible controller 302 update the second stroke fault state of the convertible to fault, and the tailgate controller 303 triggers the emergency opening mechanism of the tailgate to directly drive the tailgate to be electrically released according to the tailgate opening instruction to open the tailgate.

[0115] If the fault state indicates that the second stroke of the convertible has a fault and the closing state indicates that the second stroke of the convertible is open, the tailgate is directly driven to be electrically released according to the tailgate opening instruction to open the tailgate.

[0116] If the closing state indicates that the second stroke of the convertible is closed, the tailgate is directly driven to be electrically released according to the tailgate opening instruction to open the tailgate.

[0117] The specific control method of the soft-top convertible provided in the embodiment can effectively solve the problem that the user needs to open the tailgate when the convertible is completely opened by cooperating with the data interaction among the body controller, the convertible controller and the tailgate controller to control the tailgate and the convertible.
