Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, specifically to a vehicle control method, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer device. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle's body components enclose the passenger space (cabin space). For example, the front seats in the cabin typically include a driver's seat and a front passenger seat; in most cases, the cabin also includes rear seats. Correspondingly, door components are also provided on the sides of the body components corresponding to the front and rear seats. These door components have handles or other operating parts at the locations corresponding to the opening / closing positions. Door lock components are located at the corresponding operating positions. The basic functions of the door lock components include: when the door lock components are locked, the door components are not allowed to be opened when the driver or passenger performs conventional door opening / closing operations such as pulling; that is, the door components will not be opened by the driver or passenger's operation and thus remain closed; when the door lock components are unlocked, the door components are allowed to be opened when the driver or passenger performs conventional door opening / closing operations such as pulling.

[0003] Typically, door lock components include an actuator. By controlling the actuator, the door lock component can be in either a locked or unlocked state. The inventors' research revealed the following scenarios in current collision accidents involving door lock components: When a vehicle experiences a collision, such as a side impact, the door lock component may be deformed or cracked due to compression. In such cases, because the reliability of the actuator cannot be guaranteed, the door lock component may jump from the locked state to the unlocked state. Consequently, if the operating end experiences an external force similar to the aforementioned door opening / closing operation during a collision, the door component may be opened. Clearly, this significantly reduces the protective effect of the door component on the occupants, thereby increasing safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to solve at least part of the above-mentioned technical problems and / or solve at least part of the above-mentioned technical problems. Specifically, it aims to ensure the reliability of the door lock assembly so as to avoid phenomena such as the lock being released in the event of a collision involving the door assembly.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a vehicle control method, the vehicle including a door lock assembly and a control assembly, the door lock assembly including a first engaging component and a second engaging component, the control assembly including an actuator capable of moving the first engaging component to a first position where it is not engaged with the second engaging component; the vehicle also includes a switching unit, the switching unit including a first switching component, the control method including: causing the first switching component to move the first engaging component to a third position; wherein, when the first engaging component is in the third position, the first engaging component and the second engaging component are not engaged; wherein, the third position is the same as or different from the first position.

[0006] With this configuration, it is possible to ensure that the vehicle remains reliably locked even in the event of a side collision or other similar incidents, thanks to the first switching component.

[0007] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the activation timing for placing the first engaging component in the first / second / third position based on actual needs. In other words, the conditions under which the locking / unlocking state of the door assembly is switched can be determined based on actual needs. For example, the activation timing for the three positions can be determined based on collected image / video data, electromagnetic signals, sound and / or light-based alerts, manual triggering by the driver or passenger, and relevant logic in autonomous driving.

[0008] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned vehicle control method, the step of "causing the first switching component to drive the first engaging component to the third position" includes: obtaining the current state of the control component and / or the door lock component; determining, based on the current state, whether the vehicle door component needs to remain locked; and if so, causing the first switching component to drive the first engaging component to the third position.

[0009] This configuration ensures the reliability of the locked state based on the first switching component.

[0010] The current state of the control component and / or the door lock component can be determined by means of image data, position information, relative position information, contour information, electrical signals, etc. For example, the position of the actuator can be determined by image data to determine whether it is in a state corresponding to a first position, or the actuator can be determined by image data to determine whether it is currently reliably defining the first engaging component in the first position.

[0011] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned vehicle control method, the phrase "causing the first switching component to drive the first engaging component to the third position" includes: causing the first switching component to drive the first engaging component to rotate to the third position.

[0012] This configuration provides a possible way of viewing the first engaging component to switch to the third position, such as by using any reasonable rotating module to achieve the rotation amount corresponding to the third position.

[0013] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned vehicle control method, the phrase "causing the first switching component to drive the first engaging component to the third position" includes: causing the actuator to be in the fourth position; and causing the first switching component to drive the first engaging component to the third position.

[0014] With this configuration, it is possible to ensure that the door assembly can be reliably locked by means of the first switching component by limiting the position of the actuator.

[0015] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned vehicle control method, the switching unit includes a second switching component, and the "putting the first engaging component in a third position" includes: causing the second switching component to drive the actuator to a fourth position; and causing the first switching component to drive the first engaging component to a third position.

[0016] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned vehicle control method, the control component includes a drive mechanism that can drive the actuator to move the first engaging member to a first position. The "moving the first engaging member to a third position" includes: moving the drive mechanism to move the actuator to a fourth position; and moving the first switching component to move the first engaging member to a third position.

[0017] If the drive connection between the drive mechanism and the actuator is not severed, the actuator can be positioned in a region that does not interfere with the operation of the first switching component by means of reverse drive, etc. Obviously, the fourth position achieved by the drive mechanism and the second switching component can be the same or different. For example, if the drive connection between the drive mechanism and the actuator is not severed, the actuator can reach the fourth position by moving vertically upwards. If the drive connection between the drive mechanism and the actuator is severed, the actuator can be transferred vertically or horizontally to a region that does not interfere with the operation of the first switching component by means of magnetic adsorption, etc.

[0018] In one possible implementation of the above-described vehicle control method, the actuator can drive the first engaging component to a second position engaging with the second engaging component, wherein the fourth position is different from the position of the actuator when the first engaging component is in the second position.

[0019] This configuration allows for further assurance against unnecessary interference with the control logic based on the first switching component.

[0020] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned vehicle control method, the step of "determining whether the vehicle door assembly needs to remain locked based on the current state" includes: determining whether the actuator is in a state capable of limiting the first engaging member to the first position based on the current state; if not, adjusting the vehicle door assembly to the locked state.

[0021] This configuration allows for maintaining the locked state via the first switching component even when the reliability of the actuator cannot be guaranteed. For example, in the current state of the actuator, the first engaging component can be directly switched to the third position using the first switching component, or the actuator can be switched to the fourth position simultaneously or afterward, and then the first engaging component can be switched to the third position.

[0022] In a second aspect, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium including a memory adapted to store a plurality of program codes adapted to be loaded and run by a processor to perform the aforementioned vehicle control method.

[0048] Preferred embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. For example, although this embodiment is described in conjunction with a door lock assembly containing a specific transmission path (two sets of meshing pairs), it is obvious that the type and number of meshing pairs can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. Furthermore, although this embodiment uses a torsion spring as an example to illustrate the control method of this application, it is obvious that those skilled in the art can determine the specific structural form and corresponding control logic that enable the door lock assembly to maintain the locked state according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the actuator can be placed in an intermediate position by introducing additional rotation / telescopic mechanisms, magnetic adsorption components, etc.

[0049] It should be noted that in the description of this application, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setup," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can still be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, the structure and principles of door lock components well-known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail, in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0052] Main reference Figures 1 to 3 In one possible implementation, the vehicle includes an operating terminal 1, a door lock assembly 2, and a control assembly 3. The operating terminal is disposed on the door assembly, and the door lock assembly and control assembly are positioned on the vehicle corresponding to the operating terminal. Through the cooperation of the door lock assembly and the control assembly, the door assembly can be reliably locked or unlocked. For example, when the door assembly is unlocked, the door can only be opened when the user operates the operating terminal.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the operating end 1 is pivotally (rotatably) mounted on the door assembly. The first end of the operating end (right end in the figure) is a door lever, allowing the user to open the door assembly by pulling down the door lever. The second end of the operating end (left end in the figure) is pivotally connected to the door lock assembly. Clearly, those skilled in the art can flexibly choose the structural form of the operating end and the corresponding operating method according to actual needs; for example, the user can open and close the door using any other reasonable operating method such as horizontal flipping.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the door lock assembly 2 includes at least one engagement pair. In this example, the engagement pair includes two (e.g., referred to as the first engagement pair and the second engagement pair, respectively). Exemplarily, the first engagement pair includes a first engagement component and a second engagement component capable of engaging with each other. In this example, the first engagement component is a pawl push rod 21, and the pawl 22 belongs to both the first and second engagement pairs. Specifically, the first end of the pawl push rod 21 is pivotally connected to the second end of the operating end, and the second end of the pawl push rod 21 engages with the first engagement end 221 of the pawl 22. Furthermore, the pawl 22 is equipped with a limiting structure 223, such as a limit post, to ensure reliable engagement. The second engagement pair includes the pawl 22 (the second engagement end 222 of the pawl 22 engages with a ratchet 23) and a ratchet 23, which engage with each other. Based on the mating connection between the ratchet 23 and the (door) latch 24, the door assembly can be switched between an open state and a switched state.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the control component 3 includes a drive mechanism 31 and an actuator 32, with the actuator 32 engaging with the aforementioned pawl push rod 21. In this example, the drive mechanism is a drive motor, and the actuator is a rod-shaped structure arranged vertically, with a mating feature on the rod-shaped structure that connects to the power output end of the drive motor. In this example, the power output shaft of the actuator's drive motor is fixedly connected to a rocker arm, and the rod-shaped structure serving as the actuator has a feature, such as a groove, that engages with the rocker arm, allowing the end of the rocker arm to extend into the receiving space formed by this feature. Thus, driven by the drive motor, the actuator can move vertically, thereby moving the pawl push rod 21 to different heights and adjusting the engagement state between the pawl push rod 21 and the pawl 22.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 1 When the door assembly is locked, the actuator 32 drives the pawl push rod 21 to a lower first position where it cannot engage with the first engagement end 221 of the pawl 22. Specifically, when the door assembly is locked, the drive mechanism drives the rod-like structure downward, thus restricting the pawl push rod to the lower first position. At this position, since the second end of the pawl push rod is lower than the first engagement end of the pawl, it cannot engage with the first engagement end of the pawl. At this time, if the door opening lever is pulled down, since the first engagement pair cannot form an effective transmission path, the pawl will not be driven to rotate. In this way, the pawl can continuously constrain the ratchet by engaging with the ratchet, thereby allowing the door assembly to maintain its current locked state.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figure 2When the door assembly is in the unlocked state, the actuator 32 drives the pawl push rod 21 to a higher second position where it engages with the second engagement end 222 of the pawl 22. Specifically, in the closed / unlocked state, the drive mechanism drives the rod-like structure upward, thus restricting the pawl push rod to a higher first position. In this position, the second end of the pawl push rod can engage with the first engagement end of the pawl. At this time, if the door opening lever is pulled downward, the ratchet can be driven to rotate based on the transmission path formed by the first and second engagement pairs. Since the ratchet no longer constrains the latch, the door assembly will be opened along with the downward movement of the door opening lever.

[0058] Obviously, the above-described door lock assembly and control assembly are merely exemplary descriptions. Those skilled in the art can determine the structural form and corresponding cooperation method of the door lock assembly and control assembly according to actual needs. For example, those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust the number of meshing pairs included in the door lock assembly (e.g., two separate meshing pairs), the specific form of each meshing pair (e.g., gear meshing), the relative position between the meshing pairs, and the structural form of the drive mechanism in the control assembly (e.g., drive motor or any reasonable linear or rotary module), the structural form of the actuator (e.g., hook mechanism, clamping mechanism, pressing mechanism), the movement mode of the actuator (e.g., rotation, telescopic movement along the inclined direction), and the drive connection method between the drive mechanism and the actuator (e.g., direct drive connection or indirect drive connection through a transmission mechanism), etc., according to actual needs.

[0059] Furthermore, those skilled in the art can flexibly determine the specific quantification method of the first and second positions according to actual needs. Accordingly, it can be determined how to drive the actuator through a drive mechanism (such as a power cylinder, linear module, etc.) to make the ratchet push rod reach the first / second position.

[0060] Among them, when the vehicle is in Figure 1 In the locked state shown, if the vehicle is involved in a side collision, the door lock assembly and / or control assembly may experience problems such as displacement or deformation. In this situation, the following problems may occur: the drive mechanism may not reliably constrain the actuator; for example, in this example, the lever structure may be removed from its position corresponding to the first position, or a deviation may occur. This would compromise the reliability of the constraint mechanism for the power transmission path corresponding to the locked state, potentially causing the locked state to switch to the unlocked state or remain in a state between the two (e.g., incomplete engagement). If the door handle is accidentally pulled due to the collision, the door assembly may be opened. If the door assembly is accidentally opened during a collision, it poses an uncertain safety risk. To address this issue, this application adds a switching unit.

[0061] Main reference Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the switching unit includes a first switching component 41, which can switch and restrict the pawl push rod to a third position. When the pawl push rod is in the third position, the pawl push rod is in a state where it cannot engage with the pawl.

[0062] In this example, the first switching component 41 is a torsion spring that enables the pawl push rod to rotate in the opposite direction. When the vehicle is involved in a side collision, the rod-like structure is removed. As a result, driven by the torsion spring, the pawl push rod rotates away from the first engagement end of the pawl by rotating in the opposite direction, thereby ensuring that the door assembly can be reliably locked. At this time, although the pawl push rod loses the constraint of the rod-like structure, the door assembly can still maintain a state similar to a closed and locked state with the help of the switching component.

[0063] Obviously, those skilled in the art can flexibly adjust and determine the structural form of the first switching component (such as the structural form of the components, the number of components, the relative positions between components, the placement of components on the vehicle, the spatial / logical association between the switching component and the control component, etc.), the timing of action, the movement mode achieved by it driving the pawl push rod, and the quantitative definition of the determined third position, etc., according to actual needs. For example, it may include, but is not limited to: switching the pawl push rod to the third position by other means such as another telescopic mechanism that moves in a vertical / inclined manner; switching the pawl push rod to the third position by one or more movements (mechanisms); the third position may coincide with, be close to, be opposite to, or not form a significant comparison in dimensions with the first position (such as moving away from the engagement position in different directions); the third position may be different from the second position, such as being away from the second position in different dimensions / degrees. In addition, if the structural form of the pawl push rod in the door lock assembly is adjusted, the switching component may also be adjusted accordingly.

[0064] Main reference Figure 5In one possible implementation, the switching unit includes a second switching component 42, which is mainly used to selectively switch the current position of the actuator, such as switching it to a fourth position, to ensure the reliability of the switching logic based on the third position. For example, in the event of a side collision, the rod-shaped structure may not only be removed, but may also remain in other states, such as still having some connection with the pawl push rod, interfering with other structures like the pawl, or affecting the movement of the first switching component. Therefore, the second switching component removes the actuator from the area that might affect the switching reliability based on the first switching component or deactivates its state, ensuring that the door assembly remains continuously locked. For example, the second switching component is a spring, wherein the extension / retraction direction of the spring is approximately perpendicular to the locking / unlocking direction of the actuator. In this way, if situations arise such as the connection between the actuator and the pawl push rod being disengaged or no longer accurate due to deformation, the drive connection between the drive mechanism and the actuator still existing (such as being the same as or different from the connection reliability under normal conditions) / being disengaged, or the actuator being deformed, the actuator can be pushed away by the intervention of a spring, that is, pushed away from the area / state that affects the switching reliability, thereby ensuring the switching reliability corresponding to the first switching component.

[0065] Obviously, the spring whose extension direction is roughly perpendicular to the movement direction of the actuator is only an exemplary description of the second switching component. Similar to the first switching component, those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, movement mode, and quantitative limitation of the determined fourth position of the second switching component according to actual needs. For example, the second switching component can also be a magnetic component, and the movement mode can be movement, rotation, and combinations thereof. Under the premise of ensuring the reliability of the first switching component, the fourth position can be flexibly selected according to the actual structure.

[0066] Main reference Figure 6 In one possible implementation, this application provides a vehicle control method, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0067] S610. When the vehicle is in normal driving condition, the drive mechanism drives the actuator to move the first engaging component to the first position.

[0068] During normal driving, the door assembly should be locked, meaning it cannot be opened, to ensure the safety of passengers in the cabin. In this situation, the drive mechanism drives the actuator to position the first engaging component in a lower, first position where it cannot engage with the second engaging component.

[0069] S620. In the event of a side collision or other accident, as mentioned above, the door lock may be unexpectedly released. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the current state of the control components and / or the door lock components.

[0070] In cases where the drive connection between the drive mechanism and the actuator in the control component is disconnected, or the actuator is removed, the locked state of the door assembly may be accidentally released.

[0071] S630: Based on the current state, determine whether the vehicle door components need to remain locked. If yes, proceed to S640; otherwise, return to S620 to continuously obtain the latest current state in order to follow up on the need to keep the vehicle door components locked.

[0072] In situations where a collision is still ongoing (making it unsuitable for occupants to open the doors), or where the vehicle's current posture makes it difficult for occupants to exit (e.g., severely tilted towards a cliff / river, or the vehicle's current state is stable), the vehicle's door components need to remain locked. The decision to keep the vehicle's door components locked can be made using any reasonable method, such as manual assessment, vehicle operating parameters, or image parameters.

[0073] S640, the second switching component in the switching unit drives the actuator to a fourth position that does not interfere with the switching action based on the first switching component.

[0074] S650, the first switching component in the switching section drives the first engaging component to a third position where it is not engaged with the second engaging component.

[0075] In this example, the difference between the first and third positions is that the pawl push rod, which is the first engaging component, is rotated clockwise to the third position, where it cannot engage with the second engaging component.

[0076] As can be seen, in the preferred embodiment of this application, when the reliability of the locking state of the door assembly is affected by accidents such as side collisions (e.g., the door lock / control component is crushed), the intervention of the switching unit ensures that the locking state can still be reliably maintained. Specifically, by means of the first switching component in the switching unit, the first engaging component is switched to a third position that still prevents engagement with the second engaging component. If necessary, to ensure the reliability of the switching, the actuator in the control component can be switched to a fourth position that does not interfere with the switching logic of the first switching component by means of the second switching component in the switching unit.

[0077] It should be noted that although the steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art will understand that, in order to achieve the effects of this application, different steps do not necessarily have to be executed in this order. They can be executed simultaneously or in other orders, and some steps can be added, replaced, or omitted. For example, S650 can be omitted, or the second switching component in S650 can be replaced by reverse drive of the drive mechanism. In addition, S640 and S650 can also be performed simultaneously.

[0078] It should be noted that although the vehicle control method described above is presented as an example, those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited thereto. In fact, users can flexibly adjust the relevant steps and parameters in the steps according to actual application scenarios and other circumstances. For example, those skilled in the art can flexibly determine the quantitative limits of the first / second / third / fourth positions and the specific form of the mechanism used to achieve the corresponding position adjustment according to actual needs.

[0079] The technical solutions of this application have been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
