[0024] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides a method for controlling the tailgate of a vehicle, which will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle tailgate control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by a vehicle tailgate control device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware, and is generally integrated into the vehicle's processor. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0026] Step 101: When the tailgate opening operation is detected, identify the actual distance between the tailgate and the obstacle behind it.
[0027] The tailgate opening operation can include clicking the tailgate opening control or using voice commands containing keywords such as "open tailgate".
[0028] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the tailgate opening operation is detected, the actual distance between the tailgate and the rear obstacle is identified. The rear obstacle may include any object that affects the opening of the tailgate, such as a wall or a tree.
[0029] The actual distance between the tailgate and obstacles behind it can be obtained through sensors on the tailgate.
[0030] Step 102: Compare the standard distance required for the tailgate to open to the preset standard angle with the actual distance, and determine whether the tailgate can be opened to the preset standard angle based on the comparison result.
[0031] The preset standard angle can be the default tailgate opening angle set at the factory, or it can be a tailgate opening angle set by the user according to their height or preference. Figure 2 The tailgate opening angle refers to the angle that the tailgate traverses from its initial closed position to its open position. It is easy to understand that the distance required to open the tailgate to different opening angles is different. Therefore, in the embodiments of this disclosure, a standard distance required to open to a preset standard angle is predetermined.
[0032] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the relationship between the standard distance required for the tailgate to open to a preset standard angle and the actual distance is compared, and the tailgate is determined to be able to open to the preset standard angle based on the comparison result.
[0033] In this embodiment, when the standard distance is greater than the actual distance, it indicates that the tailgate opening space is insufficient, that is, the tailgate cannot be opened to the preset standard angle. When the standard distance is less than or equal to the actual distance, it indicates that the tailgate opening space is sufficient, that is, the tailgate can be opened to the preset standard angle.
[0034] Step 103: When it is determined that the tailgate cannot be opened to the preset standard angle, calculate the vehicle movement distance based on the standard distance and the actual distance.
[0035] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when it is determined that the tailgate cannot be opened to a preset standard angle, in order to allow the tailgate to have sufficient opening space to move the vehicle forward, the vehicle movement distance is calculated based on the standard distance and the actual distance.
[0036] It should be noted that the methods for calculating the vehicle's travel distance based on the standard distance and the actual distance differ in different application scenarios, as shown in the following examples:
[0037] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the standard distance is directly used as the vehicle movement distance. Therefore, since the tailgate only requires a standard distance of space to fully open to a preset standard angle, controlling the vehicle movement by a preset standard distance ensures that the tailgate is fully opened to the preset standard angle.
[0038] In one embodiment of this disclosure, calculating the vehicle travel distance based on the standard distance and the actual distance includes: calculating the distance difference between the standard distance and the actual distance. For example, if the standard distance is B and the actual distance is A, then C = BA, where C is the distance difference.
[0039] Furthermore, the first product of the distance difference and the preset coefficient is calculated, and the first product is determined to be the vehicle travel distance. The preset coefficient is greater than 1. For example, D = 1.2 * C is calculated, where D is the vehicle travel distance. It should be noted that in this disclosure, after calculating the distance difference between the standard distance and the actual distance, the distance difference is not directly used as the vehicle travel distance. Instead, the first product value is calculated by multiplying the preset coefficient and the distance difference, and then the first product value is used as the vehicle travel distance. Since the preset coefficient is greater than 1, the vehicle travel distance is relatively large compared to the distance difference, which can ensure that the space for opening the tailgate is relatively sufficient.
[0040] It should be noted that the aforementioned preset coefficients can be customized. For example, the preset preference coefficient can be set to 1.2. In some possible embodiments, after setting the preset coefficients, when the parking module in the vehicle detects that the vehicle is in outdoor weather, it can also determine whether to update the preset coefficients based on the outdoor weather. For example, it can determine the type of outdoor weather. If the weather type belongs to the preset first type (under the first type, the impact on vehicle driving safety is relatively low; for example, the weather type under the first type can include sunny days, cloudy days, etc.), the preset coefficients will not be updated. That is, if the weather type belongs to the preset second type (under the second type, the impact on vehicle driving safety is relatively high; for example, the weather type under the second type can include rainy days, snowy days, etc.), the preset coefficients will be updated. Because the weather is bad in the second type, the user may need to use an umbrella, etc., and therefore needs more space when going to the tailgate. Therefore, after updating the coefficients in the second type, the updated coefficients will be larger than the original coefficients.
[0041] The method for updating the preset coefficients can be customized, as shown in the following example: In some possible embodiments, the coefficient increment corresponding to each second type is preset, the sum of the preset coefficients and the coefficient increments is calculated, and the preset coefficients are updated according to the sum.
[0042] Step 104: Determine whether there are any obstacles within the distance of the vehicle moving in front of the vehicle.
[0043] Step 105: When there are no obstacles, control the vehicle to move forward according to the vehicle's moving distance, and then control the tailgate to open.
[0044] In embodiments of this disclosure, the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle in front can be determined, and it can be determined whether the distance is greater than the distance the vehicle has traveled. If the distance is greater than the distance the vehicle has traveled, it is determined that there is no obstacle within the distance of the distance the vehicle has traveled in front of it.
[0045] When there are no obstacles, the vehicle is moved forward according to the distance it has traveled, which increases the space for the tailgate to open, thus allowing the tailgate to be opened directly.
[0046] In actual implementation, to ensure vehicle safety, in one embodiment of this disclosure, before controlling the vehicle to move forward based on the vehicle's travel distance, a movement request message carrying the vehicle's travel distance is sent to the user equipment. In response to receiving a confirmation operation for the movement request message, the vehicle is controlled to move forward based on the vehicle's travel distance. Otherwise, if no confirmation operation is received from the user, or if a cancellation operation is received from the user, the vehicle is not controlled to move forward based on the vehicle's travel distance. The movement request message can be played through the vehicle's speakers, thereby allowing the user's confirmation operation to be obtained through the vehicle's microphone (the confirmation operation may include voice confirmation information containing keywords such as "confirm driving forward").
[0047] In summary, the tailgate control method of this embodiment identifies the actual distance between the tailgate and any obstacles behind it when a tailgate opening operation is detected. It compares the standard distance required for the tailgate to open to a preset standard angle with the actual distance, and determines whether the tailgate can be opened to the preset standard angle based on the comparison result. If it is determined that the tailgate cannot be opened to the preset standard angle, the method calculates the vehicle movement distance based on the standard distance and the actual distance, and determines whether there are any obstacles within the vehicle movement distance in front of the vehicle. If there are no obstacles, the method controls the vehicle to move forward based on the vehicle movement distance and then controls the tailgate to open. This technical solution achieves automated adjustment of the tailgate opening space, ensuring sufficient tailgate opening while avoiding collisions during tailgate opening, thus improving the user experience.
[0048] In actual operation, the environment in which the vehicle is located may not be suitable for moving forward based on the distance the vehicle has traveled. For example, if there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle at a relatively close distance, directly controlling the vehicle to move forward based on the distance the vehicle has traveled may cause the vehicle to collide with the obstacle in front.
[0049] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, after determining whether there is an obstacle within the distance the vehicle has traveled in front of it, the method further includes:
[0050] Step 301: When there are obstacles, calculate the actual openable angle of the tailgate based on the preset standard angle, standard distance and actual distance, wherein the actual openable angle is less than the preset standard angle.
[0051] Step 302: Control the tailgate to open to the actual openable angle.
[0052] In one embodiment of this disclosure, when it is determined that there is an obstacle within the vehicle's forward movement distance, and it is confirmed that the vehicle does not meet the conditions for moving forward, the actual openable angle of the tailgate is calculated based on a preset standard angle, a standard distance, and the actual distance. The actual openable angle is less than the preset standard angle, meaning that when the tailgate opening space is insufficient, in order to balance the user's need to open the tailgate and avoid collisions, the tailgate is controlled to open to the actual openable angle, i.e., the tailgate is partially opened.
[0053] In different application scenarios, the actual openable angle of the tailgate is calculated based on a preset standard angle, a standard distance, and the actual distance. The method for determining if the actual openable angle is less than the preset standard angle varies, as shown in the following examples:
[0054] In some possible examples, the distance difference between the standard distance and the actual distance is calculated. Then, the ratio of the preset standard angle to the standard distance is calculated, which represents the distance required per unit standard angle. The second product of the ratio and the distance difference is calculated, which represents the lost angle corresponding to the distance difference. Then, the difference between the preset standard angle and the second product is calculated to obtain the actual openable angle.
[0055] For example, if the distance difference between the standard distance B and the actual distance A is C, calculate the ratio G / B of the preset standard angle G and the standard distance B. Then, calculate the second product of the ratio G / B and the distance difference C (G*C) / B. Finally, calculate G-(G*C) / B to obtain the actual opening angle.
[0056] In some possible examples, a correspondence can be pre-constructed based on experimental data. This correspondence includes the correspondence between the distance difference range and the actual openable angle. After calculating the distance difference between the standard distance and the actual distance, the above correspondence is queried based on the distance difference, and the actual openable angle is determined based on the query result.
[0057] In summary, the tailgate control method of this embodiment determines whether the vehicle meets the conditions for forward movement before controlling the vehicle to move forward based on the vehicle's travel distance. If the conditions for forward movement are not met, the actual openable angle of the vehicle's tailgate is calculated, and the tailgate is opened according to the actual openable angle. This ensures vehicle safety.
