Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0026] The application scenario proposed in this application is a car wash scenario. Existing car wash methods generally include conveyor belt methods and non-conveyor belt methods. When using a 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 vehicle's foot pedals need to be retracted to ensure that the vehicle can pass through the conveyor belt smoothly. When using a non-conveyor belt method, such as manual washing or washing with mechanical tools in a room, the car's foot pedals can be unfolded so that the foot pedals can be cleaned.

[0027] The automobile pedal control method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a car pedal control method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps: S11: Upon receiving a car wash mode entry command, determine the car wash mode corresponding to the car wash mode entry command.

[0029] In this embodiment, the car wash mode entry command is the command received by the vehicle controller after the driver selects to enter the car wash mode on the car's central control screen. The car wash modes correspond to at least the following car wash methods: conveyor belt car wash, non-conveyor belt car wash, etc.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the vehicle's electric foot pedal is not in car wash mode, the door is determined to be folded or unfolded based on the vehicle's parking or moving state and the door's open / closed state. When the driver drives the vehicle to the vicinity of a car wash location, they select to enter car wash mode on the vehicle's infotainment system and choose the corresponding car wash method. At this time, the vehicle's body controller receives the car wash mode entry command and then determines the car wash method corresponding to the car wash mode entry command.

[0031] For example, the driver selects to enter car wash mode, and the selected car wash method is conveyor belt type.

[0032] S12: According to the car wash method, control the vehicle's foot pedal to enter the corresponding state, including a folded state and an unfolded state.

[0033] In this embodiment, after the vehicle control determines the car wash mode, it controls the vehicle's foot pedals to enter the corresponding state according to the current car wash mode. When the space through which the car wash mode passes is relatively narrow, the foot pedals are controlled to fold to prevent them from touching obstacles. When the space through which the car wash mode passes is relatively wide, the foot pedals are controlled to unfold to ensure that the foot pedals are adequately cleaned.

[0034] S13: Upon receiving a command to exit the car wash mode, restore the state of the foot pedal to the state before entering the car wash mode.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the car wash is completed, the driver clicks the car wash mode exit button on the vehicle's central control screen. The vehicle's body controller receives the car wash mode exit command, determines the state of the foot pedal before entering the car wash mode, and controls the foot pedal to return to the state before the car wash mode, so that the driver can drive the vehicle normally.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the car enters the car wash mode, the car's foot pedals are flexibly controlled according to the current car wash method, ensuring that the car can pass through narrow environments and that the foot pedals can be thoroughly cleaned in wide environments, thereby improving the car's cleaning efficiency and preventing damage to the vehicle due to car washing.

[0037] In another embodiment of this application, upon receiving a command to enter car wash mode, the method further includes: S21: Terminate the current pedal control mode of the vehicle.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the vehicle body controller receives a command to enter the car wash mode, it terminates the current foot pedal control mode to prepare for entering the car wash mode.

[0039] S22: Record the state of the foot pedal.

[0040] In this embodiment, the vehicle body controller records the current state of the foot pedal to ensure that the foot pedal can be restored to its current state after the car wash is completed.

[0041] In another embodiment of this application, controlling the vehicle's foot pedal to enter a corresponding state according to the car wash method includes: S31: When the car wash method is a conveyor belt car wash, control the foot pedal to enter the folding state.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the car wash method is a conveyor belt car wash, the vehicle body controller controls the foot pedal to enter the folded state. When the vehicle's foot pedal is in the unfolded state, the electric foot pedal is immediately controlled to fold back; when the vehicle's foot pedal is in the folded state, no state switching occurs.

[0043] S32: When the car wash method is a non-conveyor belt car wash, control the foot pedal to enter the unfolded state.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the car wash method is a non-conveyor belt car wash, the vehicle body controller controls the foot pedal to enter the unfolded state. When the vehicle's foot pedal is in the folded state, the electric foot pedal is immediately unfolded; when the vehicle's foot pedal is in the unfolded state, no state switching occurs.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the vehicle body controller receives the car wash mode selected by the driver, it also needs to determine the vehicle's gear and speed. When the vehicle is in P gear (brake gear) and the speed is less than the preset speed (e.g., 3km / h), it is determined that the vehicle is stationary. At this time, the car wash mode can be entered, and the state of the vehicle's foot pedal is controlled according to the car wash mode selected by the user.

[0046] In this embodiment, the state of the vehicle's foot pedal is controlled according to the car wash method, ensuring that the car's foot pedal can be flexibly unfolded and folded according to the scenario.

[0047] In another embodiment of this application, restoring the state of the foot pedal to its state before entering the car wash mode upon receiving a car wash mode exit command includes: S41: Read the pre-recorded status of the foot pedal.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the vehicle's body controller receives a command to exit the car wash mode, it exits the car wash mode and reads the pre-recorded status of the foot pedal.

[0049] For example, the pre-recorded state of the foot pedal is the deployed state.

[0050] S42: When the pre-recorded state of the pedal is the same as the current state, keep the pedal in the current state.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the pre-recorded state of the pedal is the same as the current state, the pedal state is kept in the current state.

[0052] For example, if the current state is the unfolded state and the pre-recorded state is also the unfolded state, then there is no need to switch states; simply maintain the current pedal state.

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

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

[0055] For example, if the current state is folded and the pre-recorded pedal state is unfolded, then the pedal state will be switched to unfolded.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the vehicle exits the car wash mode, the foot pedal state is switched back to the state before entering the car wash mode, and then the foot pedal control logic for normal driving is entered to ensure that the normal driving of the vehicle is not affected.

[0057] In another embodiment of this application, the method further includes: S51: Monitor the vehicle's gear and speed during the car wash process.

[0058] In this embodiment, the vehicle's gear and speed are monitored in real time during the car wash process. When the gear or speed changes, it can be determined immediately whether to exit the car wash mode.

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

[0060] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in a non-braking gear, it indicates that the vehicle's gear has changed. When the vehicle's speed exceeds a preset speed, it indicates that the vehicle has started to move, at which point the vehicle is controlled to exit the car wash mode.

[0061] For example, if the vehicle is detected to be in D gear and its speed exceeds the preset speed (3km / h) during a car wash, the vehicle will be controlled to exit the car wash mode.

[0062] In this embodiment, the vehicle's gear and speed are monitored during the car wash process. If the speed exceeds a preset threshold when the vehicle's gear and speed change, the car wash mode is exited, and the foot pedal is controlled by the control logic during normal driving. This helps to ensure that the control mode of the foot pedal is switched in time when exiting the car wash mode, without affecting normal driving.

[0063] In another embodiment of this application, the method further includes: S61: When there are vehicles queuing up to wash in front of the vehicle, the number and spacing of the vehicles in front are detected by vehicle-mounted radar.

[0064] In this embodiment, when there are vehicles queuing up to wash in front of the vehicle, it is necessary to determine the waiting time. First, the number and spacing of the vehicles in front are detected by the vehicle-mounted radar. The vehicle-mounted radar emits millimeter waves forward and calculates the number and spacing of the vehicles in front based on the time difference between the received reflected wave and the emitted wave.

[0065] For example, a vehicle navigates to the electronic fence of a car wash location. Millimeter-wave radar detects the number and spacing of vehicles queuing ahead. It first transmits 77GHz (or 24GHz) millimeter waves (wavelength 3.9mm) using linear frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW), with the frequency increasing linearly over time. f(t) = f0 + Kt (f0 = starting frequency, K = frequency modulation slope) (1) When a millimeter wave encounters a vehicle in front, it is reflected. There is a time difference Δt between the reflected wave and the emitted wave, and the frequency difference Δf = K·Δt.

[0066] Distance and velocity calculation: (c = speed of light, Δf = frequency difference between emitted and reflected waves) (2) Detecting frequency shift of reflected waves using the Doppler effect: (λ = wavelength, f_d = Doppler frequency shift) (3) Perform a two-dimensional FFT on the received signal to generate a range-dimensional FFT spectrum and a velocity-dimensional FFT spectrum; each peak point corresponds to a potential target (other vehicles).

[0067] Next, cluster analysis is performed on the peak points. Using the DBSCAN clustering algorithm, adjacent reflection points are clustered into one class. The specific calculation process is as follows: The parameters include: ε, the neighborhood radius, which represents the range of searching for neighboring points centered on a certain point; MinPts: the minimum number of points contained within the ε radius; core point: a point that contains at least MinPts points (including itself) within the ε neighborhood; boundary point: a point that is not a core point but falls within the ε neighborhood of a core point; noise point: an isolated point that is neither a core point nor a boundary point.

[0068] The input millimeter-wave radar generates a set of reflection points, each containing distance R and velocity v information; initialization is performed first, marking all points as unvisited.

[0069] For each point pi∈P, iterate through it, skipping if it has already been visited; find the ε neighborhood of pi: (4) like Then create a new cluster, and All points are incorporated into the core points, for Repeat the above search and core point judgment steps for each unvisited point q.

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

[0071] Calculate the Euclidean distance between pi = (Ri, vi) and pj = (RJ, vj): (5) Here, α is the speed difference weighting factor (usually taken as 0.1~0.3), which reduces the impact of speed difference on distance.

[0072] This allows us to obtain the distance between each vehicle.

[0073] S62: Connect to the cloud system of the car wash location and obtain historical data of the car wash location.

[0074] In this embodiment, the system connects to the car wash's cloud system via a corresponding API interface to obtain historical data about the car wash. This historical data includes information reflecting the car wash's operational efficiency, such as the time required to wash different car models.

[0075] S63: Determine the estimated queuing time based on the historical data and the number and spacing of vehicles ahead.

[0076] In this embodiment, after obtaining historical data on car wash locations, the corresponding queuing time can be estimated based on the efficiency of the car wash locations and the number and spacing of vehicles queuing in front of the vehicle in the obtained historical data.

[0077] For example, if a car wash operates at a rate of one standard-sized sedan every 10 minutes, and there are 3 cars in the queue with a 5-meter distance between each car, then the estimated waiting time would be 30 minutes plus the time required to travel 15 meters.

[0078] In this embodiment, the number and spacing of vehicles queuing ahead are accurately determined by the vehicle-mounted millimeter-wave radar, and the waiting time is determined by combining the historical data, which helps drivers to make reasonable time arrangements.

[0079] In another embodiment of this application, the method further includes: S71: If the number of vehicles ahead exceeds a preset threshold and the estimated queuing time exceeds a preset queuing time, switch the foot pedal to the deployed state.

[0080] In this embodiment, if the number of vehicles ahead is greater than a preset threshold and the expected queuing time is greater than the preset queuing time, the driver will need to wait a long time before the car can be washed. At this time, the foot pedal is switched to the unfolded state so that the driver can get out of the car and wait.

[0081] For example, the queue length is greater than a threshold (e.g., 3 cars), and the queue time is greater than a threshold (based on...). Where N is the number of vehicles ahead, tavg is the average car wash time (which can be obtained from cloud data for conveyor belt and manual car wash times), and k is a dynamic correction coefficient (including factors that affect car wash time, such as vehicle type and size). The current GPS location is at the designated drop-off electronic fence.

[0082] S72: Prompt the driver of the vehicle to get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe area.

[0083] In this embodiment, after the foot pedal is extended, the central control screen displays corresponding prompts to the driver, such as "Please get off and wait in this safe area," and issues corresponding voice prompts, such as "It is expected to be windy in XX area; it is recommended to get off and wait in advance," to remind the driver to get off and wait in the safe area. A countdown timer starts after the door is opened.

[0084] S73: If the driver of the vehicle is detected to have left the vehicle, control the foot pedal to switch to the state corresponding to the car wash mode.

[0085] In this embodiment, after detecting that the driver has left the vehicle, the vehicle body controller switches the foot pedal to the state corresponding to the car wash mode. While the driver is waiting, the foot pedal is automatically controlled according to the car wash mode selected by the driver.

[0086] In this embodiment, the foot pedal can be folded even when there is no driver, based on triggering conditions such as the distance from the car wash machine being less than a preset threshold, the vehicle being at the front of the queue, or the car wash's RFID tag sending an entry signal to the vehicle.

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

[0088] In this embodiment, the driver can be reminded to get out of the car and wait while queuing, so the driver does not have to sit in the car to queue for car washing. The vehicle automatically controls the queuing for car washing, saving the driver's time.

[0089] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the foot pedal control for a car wash mode according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, when not in car wash mode, it determines whether the driver has activated the car wash mode. If activated, it determines whether it is a conveyor belt car wash or a non-conveyor belt car wash. If it is a conveyor belt car wash, it controls the pedal to fold; if it is a non-conveyor belt car wash, it controls the pedal to unfold.

[0090] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the control for exiting the car wash mode according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, when the driver turns off the car wash mode, it determines whether the current pedal status is the previously recorded status. If not, it switches to the status recorded before entering the car wash mode. During the car wash process, if it is detected that the gear is not in P gear and the vehicle speed is greater than 3km / h, it controls the pedal to enter the folding state and exits the car wash mode.

[0091] In another embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a hardware structure proposed in an embodiment of this application, as shown below.
