Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] The terms "first", "second", and the like in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / ", generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are in a "or" relationship.

[0026] The application scenario proposed in the embodiments of the present application is a car washing scenario. The existing car washing methods generally include a conveyor belt method and a non-conveyor belt method. When the car is washed by using the conveyor belt method, the vehicle passes through the conveyor belt and is cleaned by various mechanical tools. At this time, the width of the conveyor belt is limited, and the foot pedal of the vehicle needs to be retracted to ensure that the vehicle passes through the conveyor belt smoothly. When the car is washed by using the non-conveyor belt method, for example, manual cleaning or cleaning in a certain room by using mechanical tools, the foot pedal of the car can be unfolded at this time so that the foot pedal can be cleaned.

[0027] The car foot pedal control method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below by combining the drawings, specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a flowchart of the car foot pedal control method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The method specifically includes the following steps: S11: In the case of receiving a car washing mode entering instruction, determining a car washing method corresponding to the car washing mode entering instruction.

[0029] In the embodiment, the car washing mode entering instruction is an instruction received by the vehicle body controller after the driver selects the car washing mode on the car central control screen. The car washing method corresponding to the car washing mode at least includes a conveyor belt method of washing a car, a non-conveyor belt method of washing a car, and the like.

[0030] In this embodiment, the electric running board of the vehicle in the non-washing mode is folded or unfolded according to the parking or moving state of the vehicle, the opening or closing state of the door, and the like. When the driver drives the vehicle to the vicinity of the washing site, the washing mode is selected in the vehicle machine, and the corresponding washing mode is selected. At this time, the vehicle body controller receives the washing mode entering instruction, and determines the washing mode corresponding to the washing mode entering instruction.

[0031] For example, the driver selects the washing mode, and the selected washing mode is the conveyor belt type.

[0032] S12: According to the washing mode, the running board of the vehicle is controlled to enter the corresponding state, and the state includes the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0033] In this embodiment, after the vehicle control determines the washing mode, the running board of the vehicle is controlled to enter the corresponding state according to the current washing mode. When the washing mode passes through a relatively narrow space, the running board is controlled to be folded to prevent the running board from touching the obstacle. When the washing mode passes through a relatively wide space, the running board is controlled to be unfolded to ensure that the running board is fully washed.

[0034] S13: In the case of receiving the washing mode exiting instruction, the state of the running board is restored to the state before the washing mode is entered.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the washing is completed, the driver clicks the washing mode exiting button on the central control screen of the vehicle. The vehicle body controller receives the washing mode exiting instruction, determines the state of the running board before the washing mode is entered, and controls the running board to return to the state before the washing mode is entered. The driver can normally drive the vehicle.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the vehicle enters the washing mode, the running board of the vehicle is flexibly controlled according to the current washing mode. The vehicle can pass through a narrow environment, and the running board can be fully washed in a wide environment. The cleaning efficiency of the vehicle is improved, and the vehicle is prevented from being damaged due to washing.

[0037] In another embodiment of the present application, in the case of receiving the washing mode entering instruction, the method further comprises: S21: Terminate the current running board control mode of the vehicle.

[0038] In this embodiment, the vehicle body controller terminates the current running board control mode of the vehicle in the case of receiving the washing mode entering instruction, and prepares for entering the washing mode.

[0039] S22: Record the state of the running board.

[0040] In this embodiment, the vehicle body controller records the current state of the running board, so that the running board can be restored to the current state after the vehicle is washed.

[0041] In another embodiment of the present application, the control of the running board of the vehicle into the corresponding state according to the washing mode includes: S31: in the case of the washing mode being the conveyor belt washing, the running board is controlled into the folded state.

[0042] In this embodiment, in the case of the washing mode being the conveyor belt washing, the vehicle body controller controls the running board into the folded state. When the running board of the vehicle is in the unfolded state, the electric running board is immediately controlled to be folded and retracted, and when the running board of the vehicle is in the folded state, no state switching is performed.

[0043] S32: in the case of the washing mode being the non-conveyor belt washing, the running board is controlled into the unfolded state.

[0044] In this embodiment, in the case of the washing mode being the non-conveyor belt washing, the vehicle body controller controls the running board into the unfolded state. When the running board of the vehicle is in the folded state, the electric running board is immediately controlled to be unfolded, and when the running board of the vehicle is in the unfolded state, no state switching is performed.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the vehicle body controller receives the washing mode selected by the driver, it also needs to judge the gear and speed of the vehicle. When the gear of the vehicle is P (parking) and the speed is less than a preset speed (for example, 3 km / h), it is judged that the vehicle is in a stationary state, at this time, the washing mode can be entered, and the state of the running board of the vehicle is controlled according to the washing mode selected by the user.

[0046] In this embodiment, the state of the running board of the vehicle is controlled according to the washing mode, so that the running board of the vehicle can be flexibly unfolded and folded according to the scene.

[0047] In another embodiment of the present application, the state of the running board is restored to the state before the washing mode is entered when the washing mode exit instruction is received, including: S41: reading the pre-recorded state of the running board.

[0048] In this embodiment, the vehicle body controller of the vehicle exits the washing mode when the washing mode exit instruction is received, and reads the pre-recorded state of the running board.

[0049] For example, the pre-recorded state of the running board is the unfolded state.

[0050] S42: when the pre-recorded state of the running board is the same as the current state, the running board is kept in the current state.

[0051] In the embodiment, when the pre-recorded state of the foot pedal is the same as the current state, the foot pedal state is maintained as the current state.

[0052] For example, when the current state is the unfolded state and the pre-recorded state is also the unfolded state, no state switching is needed, and the current foot pedal state is maintained.

[0053] S43: When the pre-recorded state of the foot pedal is different from the current state, the state of the foot pedal is switched to the pre-recorded state of the foot pedal.

[0054] In the embodiment, when the pre-recorded state of the foot pedal is different from the current state, the state of the foot pedal is switched to the pre-recorded state of the foot pedal.

[0055] For example, when the current state is the folded state and the pre-recorded state of the foot pedal is the unfolded state, the state of the foot pedal is switched to the unfolded state.

[0056] In the embodiment, when the vehicle exits the car washing mode, the state of the foot pedal is switched to the state before entering the car washing mode, and the foot pedal control logic in the normal driving mode is entered again, so that the normal driving of the vehicle is not affected.

[0057] In another embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises: S51: Monitoring the gear and speed of the vehicle during the car washing process.

[0058] In the embodiment, the gear and speed of the vehicle are monitored in real time during the car washing process. When the gear and speed change, it can be determined in the first time whether the car washing mode needs to be exited.

[0059] S52: When the gear of the vehicle is a non-braking gear and the speed exceeds a preset speed, the vehicle is controlled to exit the car washing mode.

[0060] In the embodiment, when the gear of the vehicle is a non-braking gear, it indicates that the gear of the vehicle has changed. When the speed of the vehicle exceeds the preset speed, it indicates that the vehicle starts to move, and the vehicle is controlled to exit the car washing mode.

[0061] For example, when the gear of the vehicle is detected to be D gear and the speed exceeds the preset speed (3 km / h) during the car washing, the vehicle is controlled to exit the car washing mode.

[0062] In the embodiment, the gear and speed of the vehicle are monitored during the car washing process. When the gear and speed of the vehicle change, if the speed exceeds the preset threshold, the car washing mode is exited, and the foot pedal is controlled by the control logic in the normal driving mode, which is beneficial to switch the control mode of the foot pedal in time when the car washing mode is exited, and does not affect the normal driving.

[0063] In another embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises: S61: In the case that there are vehicles queuing for car washing in front of the vehicle, the number and spacing of the vehicles in front are detected by the vehicle-mounted radar.

[0064] In this embodiment, in the case that there are vehicles queuing for car washing in front of the vehicle, the waiting time needs to be determined, and first the number and spacing of the vehicles in front are detected by the vehicle-mounted radar. The vehicle-mounted radar calculates according to the time difference between the received reflected wave and the transmitted wave by transmitting millimeter waves to the front, and then obtains the number and spacing of the vehicles in front.

[0065] For example, the vehicle is positioned to the electronic fence of the car washing site by navigation, and the number and spacing of the vehicles queuing in front are detected by the millimeter wave radar. First, the radar transmits 77GHz (or 24GHz) millimeter waves (wavelength 3.9mm) by using linear frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW), and the frequency increases linearly with time: f(t) = f0+ Kt (f0= initial frequency, K = frequency modulation slope) (1) The millimeter wave is reflected after encountering the vehicles in front, and there is a time difference Δt between the reflected wave and the transmitted wave, and the frequency difference Δf = K·Δt.

[0066] Distance and speed solution: (c = speed of light, Δf = transmitted / reflected wave frequency difference) (2) Detect the frequency shift of the reflected wave by Doppler effect: (λ = wavelength, f_d = Doppler shift) (3) Perform two-dimensional FFT on the received signal to generate distance and speed FFT spectra; each peak point corresponds to a potential target (other vehicles).

[0067] Then, the peak points are subjected to clustering analysis, and adjacent reflection points are clustered into a class by the DBSCAN clustering algorithm. The specific calculation process is as follows: The parameters include: ε, neighborhood radius, indicating the range of searching adjacent points with a certain point as the center; MinPts: minimum point number, containing at least MinPts points within the ε radius; core point: containing at least MinPts points (including itself) within the ε neighborhood; boundary point: not a core point itself, but falls within the ε neighborhood of a certain core point; noise point: neither a core point nor a boundary point.

[0068] Each point in the input millimeter wave radar generated reflection point set contains distance R and speed v information; first, all points are marked as unvisited.

[0069] For each point pi∈P, if it has been visited, skip it; find the ε neighborhood of pi: (4) If create a new cluster, add all points in to the core point, and repeat the above steps for each unvisited point q in .

[0070] If pi is not a core point but is included in a cluster, mark it as a boundary point, and mark points not included in any cluster as noise.

[0071] Calculate the Euclidean distance between pi= (Ri, vi) and pj= (Rj, vj): (5) where α is a speed difference weight factor (usually 0.1-0.3), which reduces the influence of speed difference on distance.

[0072] Further, the distance between each vehicle is obtained.

[0073] S62: Access the cloud system of the car washing site to obtain historical data of the car washing site.

[0074] In this embodiment, the cloud system of the car washing site is accessed through the corresponding API interface, and the historical data of the car washing site is obtained from the cloud system of the car washing site. The historical data includes data reflecting the working efficiency of the car washing site, such as the time required to wash different car models.

[0075] S63: Determine the estimated queuing time according to the historical data and the number and distance of vehicles in front.

[0076] In this embodiment, after obtaining the historical data of the car washing site, the corresponding queuing time can be estimated according to the efficiency of the car washing site in the obtained historical data and the number and distance of vehicles queuing in front of the vehicle.

[0077] For example, the working efficiency of the car washing site is to wash one ordinary size car every 10 minutes, the number of vehicles queuing in front is 3, and the distance between each vehicle is 5m, so the estimated waiting time is 30 minutes plus the time of driving 15m.

[0078] In this embodiment, the number and distance of vehicles queuing in front are accurately determined according to the vehicle-mounted millimeter wave radar, and the time required for queuing is determined in combination with the history, which is helpful to help the driver arrange the time reasonably.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises: S71: In the case that the number of front vehicles is greater than a preset number threshold and the estimated queuing time is greater than a preset queuing time, the state of the footboard is switched to an unfolded state.

[0080] In this embodiment, in the case that the number of front vehicles is greater than a preset number threshold and the estimated queuing time is greater than a preset queuing time, the driver needs to wait for a long time before he can have the car washed, and at this time, the state of the footboard is switched to an unfolded state for the driver to get off the car and wait.

[0081] For example, the queuing length is greater than a threshold (such as 3 cars), and the queuing time is greater than a threshold (according to , where N is the number of front vehicles, tavg is the average washing time, which can be obtained based on cloud data to transmit the belt and manual washing time, k is a dynamic correction coefficient, including factors such as vehicle model and size that affect washing time), and the current GPS positioning is in a designated electronic fence for getting off the car.

[0082] S72: Corresponding prompts are given to the driver of the vehicle to prompt the driver of the vehicle to get off the car and wait in a safe area.

[0083] In this embodiment, after the footboard is unfolded, the central control unit displays corresponding prompt information on the screen for the driver of the vehicle, such as "please get off the car and wait in this safe area", and gives corresponding voice prompts, such as "estimated waiting time XX wind, it is suggested to get off the car and wait in advance", to prompt the driver to get off the car and wait in a safe area. The countdown for getting off the car is started after the door is opened.

[0084] S73: In the case that the driver of the vehicle is detected to get off the vehicle, the footboard is controlled to switch to a state corresponding to the washing mode.

[0085] In this embodiment, after the driver of the vehicle is detected to get off the vehicle, the body controller controls the footboard to switch to a state corresponding to the washing mode. In the case that the driver is waiting, the footboard is automatically controlled according to the washing mode selected by the driver.

[0086] In this embodiment, the vehicle can also trigger the folding of the footboard according to trigger conditions in the case that there is no driver, such as the distance from the car washing machine being less than a preset threshold, the vehicle being at the head of the queue, and the car washing field RFID tag sending an entry signal to the vehicle.

[0087] For example, the preset threshold of the distance from the car washing machine can be set to 3m.

[0088] In this embodiment, the driver can be reminded to get off the car and wait when queuing, and the driver does not need to sit in the car to queue for car washing, and the vehicle is automatically controlled to queue for car washing, saving the time of the driver.

[0089] In another embodiment of the present application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a car washing mode pedal control according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , when the car washing mode is not entered, it is determined whether the driver starts the car washing mode, if so, it is determined whether the car is washed by a conveyor belt or not, if the car is washed by a conveyor belt, the pedal is controlled to be folded, if the car is not washed by a conveyor belt, the pedal is controlled to be unfolded.

[0090] In another embodiment of the present application, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a car washing mode exit control according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 , when the driver turns off the car washing mode, it is determined whether the current pedal state is the state recorded before the car washing mode is entered, if not, it is switched to the state recorded before the car washing mode is entered, during the car washing process, if the gear is not P and the vehicle speed is greater than 3km / h, the pedal is controlled to be folded and the car washing mode is exited.
