Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive electronics technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for calibrating the position of a rotating seat. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, consumers' demands for seat functions are increasing. As a result, car seats with swivel adjustment functions have emerged, enhancing the interactivity and comfort of the seating experience.

[0003] However, existing rotary motors complete position learning at the factory. If the motor position is lost during use, consumers must go to the 4S store for relearning, which not only increases time and economic costs but also affects the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, how to facilitate consumers in calibrating the position of the rotary motor and improve the ease of use of the car seat rotation adjustment function has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for calibrating the position of a rotating seat to overcome or at least partially solve the above problems. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A method for calibrating the position of a rotating seat includes:

[0007] When the seat controller detects that the position of the rotating motor controlling the rotating seat is lost, in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotating seat, it controls the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat's turntable. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, it calibrates the current position to -90° and stores it as the first reference angle of the rotating motor.

[0008] In response to the trigger signal of the second triggering device of the rotating seat, the rotating motor is controlled to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, and the rotation locking mechanism of the rotating motor is kept in a locked state during the movement. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, the current position is calibrated to 0° and stored as the second reference angle of the rotating motor.

[0009] Optionally, after the rotary motor moves to the lock hole position of the turntable's mechanical zero position, the rotary locking mechanism cooperates with the lock hole position to fix the turntable of the rotary seat, generating a stall signal indicating that the rotary motor has stalled.

[0010] Optionally, controlling the rotary motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the rotary seat in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotary seat includes:

[0011] When the rotating seat is the left seat, in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the left seat, the rotating motor is controlled to move clockwise toward the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the left seat;

[0012] The step of controlling the rotary motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotary seat's turntable in response to a trigger signal from the second triggering device of the rotary seat includes:

[0013] In response to the trigger signal from the second trigger device of the left seat, the rotary motor is controlled to move counterclockwise toward the mechanical zero position of the turntable of the left seat.

[0014] Optionally, controlling the rotary motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the rotary seat in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotary seat includes:

[0015] When the rotating seat is the right-side seat, in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the right-side seat, the rotating motor is controlled to move counterclockwise toward the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the right-side seat;

[0016] The step of controlling the rotary motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotary seat's turntable in response to a trigger signal from the second triggering device of the rotary seat includes:

[0017] In response to the trigger signal from the second trigger device of the right-side seat, the rotary motor is controlled to move clockwise toward the mechanical zero position of the turntable of the right-side seat.

[0018] Optionally, the first triggering device and the second triggering device are physical buttons or electronic switches.

[0019] Optionally, the first triggering device is a seat rotation control device corresponding to the mechanical hard stop of the turntable. When the seat controller receives the trigger signal from the first triggering device, it controls the rotating seat to rotate towards the mechanical hard stop of the turntable.

[0020] Optionally, the second triggering device is a seat rotation control device that controls the rotating seat to rotate to a specified angle, wherein the specified angle includes 90° and 180° based on the mechanical zero position of the turntable.

[0021] A rotating seat position calibration device includes: a position calibration unit and a zero-position reset unit.

[0022] The position calibration unit is used to control the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotating seat when the seat controller detects that the position of the rotating motor controlling the rotating seat is lost. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, the current position is calibrated to -90° and stored as the first reference angle of the rotating motor.

[0023] The zero-position reset unit is used to respond to the trigger signal of the second triggering device of the rotating seat, control the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, and keep the rotating locking mechanism of the rotating motor in a locked state during the movement. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, it calibrates the current position to 0° and stores it as the second reference angle of the rotating motor.

[0024] A computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements the rotary seat position calibration method.

[0025] An electronic device includes at least one processor, at least one memory connected to the processor, and a bus; wherein the processor and the memory communicate with each other via the bus; the processor is used to call program instructions in the memory to execute the rotating seat position calibration method.

[0026] By employing the above technical solution, the present invention provides a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for calibrating the position of a rotating seat. When the seat controller detects a loss of position of the rotating motor controlling the rotating seat, it responds to a trigger signal from a first triggering device of the rotating seat, controlling the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat's turntable. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, it calibrates the current position to -90° and stores it as the first reference angle of the rotating motor. Responding to a trigger signal from a second triggering device of the rotating seat, it controls the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, maintaining the rotating locking mechanism of the rotating motor in a locked state during the movement. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, it calibrates the current position to 0° and stores it as the second reference angle of the rotating motor. The present invention simplifies the rotating motor position calibration process by using triggering devices on the rotating seat to guide the rotating motor towards the mechanical hard stop point and the zero position direction respectively after the seat controller detects a loss of position, and performs position calibration when stalled. This helps consumers calibrate the rotating motor position themselves, thereby improving the convenience of using the car seat rotation adjustment function.

[0027] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.

In the drawings:

[0033] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0034] As the automotive industry continues to develop, consumers' demands for vehicle interiors and comfort are constantly increasing, especially in terms of seat design. Existing car seat functions mainly include backrest adjustment, level adjustment, height adjustment, and leg rest adjustment. While these functions meet basic user needs to a certain extent, they are still insufficient for some specific scenarios. For example, in business vehicles, many consumers hope that passengers in the second and third rows can face each other for social interaction and communication. However, traditional seat layouts often limit the realization of this function, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0035] To address this issue, car seats with swivel adjustment functions have gradually appeared on the market. These seats allow passengers to adjust their orientation as needed, enabling face-to-face communication and significantly improving interactivity and comfort. However, existing swivel motors have already completed position learning within the zero-position locking hole at the factory. If the motor position is lost during use, consumers cannot repair it themselves. This typically requires users to visit a 4S dealership for professional adjustment and position learning, increasing their time and financial burden, and in some cases, potentially leading to a further decline in the user experience.

[0036] Taking the mechanical structure of the left-side rotating turntable as an example, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The three points marked A, B, and C correspond to the three locking holes, while point D is the seat's mechanical hard stop, indicating the maximum physical position the seat can reach. Specifically, position A is zero, position B is 90°, position C is 180°, and position D is -90°. When the seat leaves the factory, the locking pin is in position A (zero). A professional calibration program can be used to learn the position directly at this zero position after sending a learning position request. However, if the position of the rotary motor is lost after subsequent manufacturing, the user needs to go to a 4S store to relearn the seat's position. To complete this process, the seat must first be manually adjusted to any position between A and B, and then a learning position request must be sent through the professional calibration program to ensure effective calibration at the zero position.

[0037] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new solution to simplify the rotation motor position learning process, enabling consumers to perform this operation independently at home or in other convenient locations. To address this need, this invention provides a rotation seat position calibration method that significantly improves the ease of use of automotive seat rotation adjustment functions. This allows users to independently calibrate the seat rotation motor position without requiring professional technical support, achieving greater flexibility and convenience.

[0038] like Figure 2 The diagram shows a flowchart of one embodiment of the rotating seat position calibration method provided by this invention. The method may include:

[0039] S200: When the seat controller detects that the position of the rotating motor controlling the rotating seat is lost, in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotating seat, the rotating motor is controlled to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat's turntable. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, the current position is calibrated to -90° and stored as the first reference angle of the rotating motor.

[0040] Among them, the seat controller refers to the electronic device that controls various functions of the seat, such as seat position adjustment and rotation, and realizes intelligent control of the seat by receiving user input and sensor feedback.

[0041] Among them, rotating seats refer to seats in vehicles that have a rotating function, which can be rotated and adjusted so that passengers can adjust the seat direction.

[0042] The rotary motor refers to the electric motor that drives the rotary seat to rotate. Its movement is managed by the seat controller to achieve precise position adjustment of the seat.

[0043] The triggering device is a component installed on the rotating seat that detects user operations and generates a trigger signal to instruct the seat controller to take corresponding action. The trigger signal is used to instruct the seat controller to perform a specific operation, such as controlling the rotating motor to rotate in a specified direction.

[0044] Optionally, the first triggering device and the second triggering device are physical buttons or electronic switches.

[0045] Optionally, the first triggering device is a seat rotation control device corresponding to the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable. When the seat controller receives the trigger signal from the first triggering device, it controls the rotating seat to rotate in the direction of the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable.

[0046] Optionally, the second triggering device is a seat rotation control device that controls the rotating seat to rotate to a specified angle, wherein the specified angle includes 90° and 180° based on the mechanical zero position of the turntable.

[0047] The turntable's mechanical hard stop is the physical limit position for rotating the seat, ensuring the maximum angle the seat can reach and preventing it from exceeding the safe range.

[0048] Specifically, when the seat controller detects a loss of position in the rotary motor, it prompts the user to enter seat position calibration mode. In this mode, the user triggers the first trigger device of the rotating seat. The seat controller then responds to the trigger signal from this device, controlling the rotary motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop of the turntable. During this process, the seat controller monitors the status of the rotary motor to ensure its normal operation. When a motor stall is detected, confirming that the turntable has reached the mechanical hard stop, the seat controller calibrates the current position to -90° and stores this value as the rotary motor's first reference angle. This ensures the rotary motor's position learning state remains effective after a power outage and restart, thereby ensuring the rotary motor can regain a valid reference position and allowing the rotating seat to function normally.

[0049] S210, in response to the trigger signal of the second triggering device of the rotating seat, control the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, and keep the rotating locking mechanism of the rotating motor in a locked state during the movement. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, calibrate the current position to 0° and store it as the second reference angle of the rotating motor.

[0050] Among them, the turntable mechanical zero position refers to the zero position of the rotating seat, which is the reference position of the seat when it is not rotating.

[0051] Among them, the rotary locking mechanism is a mechanical or electronic device used to control a rotating seat or other rotatable parts. Its main function is to lock or unlock the rotating parts under specific conditions to ensure that they maintain a stable and safe position when needed.

[0052] The reference angle is a set angle for the rotary motor, used to calibrate the rotational position of the seat. The first reference angle is usually calibrated to -90°, and the second reference angle is usually calibrated to 0°.

[0053] Specifically, after the seat controller stores the first reference angle, the user can trigger the second triggering device of the rotating seat. The seat controller responds to the trigger signal from the second triggering device and begins to control the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the turntable. During this movement, if the system detects that the seat is in a position calibration state, the rotating locking mechanism of the rotating motor will remain locked. When the rotating motor passes the lock hole at the mechanical zero position of the turntable, the locking pin of the rotating locking mechanism engages with the lock hole, automatically locking the turntable and causing the rotating motor to stall. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, it will calibrate the current position to 0° and store it as the second reference angle of the rotating motor, thus completing the position calibration of the rotating seat.

[0054] This invention provides a method for calibrating the position of a rotating seat. The method includes: when the seat controller detects a loss of position for the rotating motor controlling the rotating seat, responding to a trigger signal from a first triggering device of the rotating seat, controlling the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat's turntable; when the seat controller detects the rotating motor is stalled, calibrating the current position to -90° and storing it as a first reference angle for the rotating motor; responding to a trigger signal from a second triggering device of the rotating seat, controlling the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, and maintaining the rotating locking mechanism of the rotating motor in a locked state during the movement; when the seat controller detects the rotating motor is stalled, calibrating the current position to 0° and storing it as a second reference angle for the rotating motor. This invention simplifies the rotating motor position calibration process by using triggering devices on the rotating seat to guide the rotating motor towards the mechanical hard stop point and the zero position direction respectively after the seat controller detects a loss of position, and performing position calibration when stalled. This helps consumers calibrate the rotating motor position themselves, thereby improving the convenience of using the rotating seat adjustment function.

[0055] Optionally, in the above Figure 2 Based on one or more corresponding embodiments, in another optional embodiment provided by the present invention, after the rotary motor moves to the lock hole position of the turntable mechanical zero position, the rotary locking mechanism cooperates with the lock hole position to fix the turntable of the rotary seat, generating a stall signal that the rotary motor has stalled.

[0056] Under normal circumstances, the rotary locking mechanism is unlocked while the rotary motor is in motion, and locked when the motor stops. When the seat controller is in seat position calibration mode, to ensure the turntable smoothly reaches the lock hole position of the turntable's mechanical zero position, the rotary locking mechanism must remain locked during the turntable's movement from the mechanical hard stop point to the mechanical zero position. Once the turntable reaches the lock hole position of the mechanical zero position, the rotary motor will stop due to stalling, and its angle will be updated to 0°.

[0057] This invention controls a rotary motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the turntable while simultaneously ensuring the rotary locking mechanism is in a locked state. When the rotary motor reaches the lock hole position at the zero position, the locking mechanism precisely engages with the lock hole, thereby fixing the turntable. This allows for accurate location of the turntable's mechanical zero position during the rotational seat position calibration process, ensuring the effectiveness of the rotational seat position calibration.

[0058] Optionally, in the above Figure 2Based on one or more corresponding embodiments, in another optional embodiment provided by the present invention, in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotating seat, controlling the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat's turntable includes:

[0059] When the rotating seat is the left-hand seat, in response to the trigger signal of the first trigger device of the left-hand seat, the rotating motor is controlled to move clockwise toward the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the left-hand seat.

[0060] In response to a trigger signal from the second triggering device of the rotating seat, the rotary motor is controlled to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, including:

[0061] In response to the trigger signal from the second trigger device on the left side of the seat, the rotary motor is controlled to move counterclockwise toward the mechanical zero position of the turntable on the left side of the seat.

[0062] Specifically, based on the mechanical structure characteristics of the left seat, the hard stop point is typically located at the end of the clockwise rotation path. In response to the trigger signal from the first triggering device, the control motor rotates clockwise to the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable. In response to the trigger signal from the second triggering device, the control motor returns counterclockwise to the mechanical zero position, with the reverse movement path matching the seat's reset trajectory. Simultaneously, the rotating locking mechanism remains locked, ensuring that when the rotating locking mechanism rotates to the lock hole at the mechanical zero position of the left seat's turntable, the locking pin of the rotating locking mechanism automatically locks the turntable, causing the rotating motor to stall.

[0063] Based on the mechanical structure characteristics of rotating seats in vehicles, this invention provides a differentiated calibration control for the left-side seat, which first calibrates the position clockwise and then resets it to the zero position counterclockwise. This allows for flexible adaptation to the position calibration needs of different seats, avoids confusion between calibration commands for different seats, improves the accuracy of the position calibration of the rotating motor of the rotating seat, and helps consumers calibrate the position of the rotating motor of different rotating seats themselves, further enhancing the convenience of using the car seat rotation adjustment function.

[0064] Optionally, in the above Figure 2 Based on one or more corresponding embodiments, in another optional embodiment provided by the present invention, in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotating seat, controlling the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat's turntable includes:

[0065] When the rotating seat is the right-hand seat, in response to the trigger signal of the first trigger device of the right-hand seat, the rotating motor is controlled to move counterclockwise toward the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the right-hand seat.

[0066] In response to a trigger signal from the second triggering device of the rotating seat, the rotary motor is controlled to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, including:

[0067] In response to the trigger signal from the second trigger device on the right side of the seat, the rotary motor is controlled to move clockwise toward the mechanical zero position of the turntable on the right side of the seat.

[0068] Specifically, based on the mechanical structure characteristics of the right-side seat, the hard stop point is typically located at the end of the counter-clockwise rotation path. In response to the trigger signal from the second triggering device, the control motor rotates counter-clockwise to the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable. In response to the trigger signal from the second triggering device, the control motor returns clockwise to the mechanical zero position, with the reverse movement path matching the seat's reset trajectory. Simultaneously, the rotating locking mechanism remains locked, ensuring that when the rotating locking mechanism rotates to the lock hole at the mechanical zero position of the right-side seat's turntable, the locking pin of the rotating locking mechanism automatically locks the turntable, causing the rotating motor to stall.

[0069] Based on the mechanical structure characteristics of rotating seats in vehicles, this invention provides a differentiated calibration control for the right-side seat, which first performs counter-clockwise position calibration and then clockwise zero-position reset. This allows for flexible adaptation to the position calibration needs of different seats, avoids confusion between calibration commands for different seats, improves the accuracy of position calibration of the rotating motor of the rotating seat, and helps consumers to calibrate the position of the rotating motor of different rotating seats themselves, further enhancing the convenience of using the car seat rotation adjustment function.

[0070] Although the operations are described in a specific order, this should not be construed as requiring these operations to be performed in the specific order shown or in a sequential order. In certain environments, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous.

[0071] It should be understood that the various steps described in the method embodiments of the present invention may be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. Furthermore, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit the steps shown. The scope of the present invention is not limited in this respect.

[0072] Corresponding to the above method embodiments, this invention also provides a rotating seat position calibration device, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it may include: a position calibration unit 10 and a zero-position reset unit 20.

[0073] The position calibration unit 10 is used to control the rotary motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotary seat in response to the trigger signal of the first triggering device of the rotary seat when the seat controller detects that the position of the rotary motor controlling the rotary seat is lost. When the seat controller detects that the rotary motor is stalled, the current position is calibrated to -90° and stored as the first reference angle of the rotary motor.

[0074] The zero-position reset unit 20 is used to respond to the trigger signal of the second trigger device of the rotating seat, control the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, and keep the rotating locking mechanism of the rotating motor in a locked state during the movement. When the seat controller detects that the rotating motor is stalled, it calibrates the current position to 0° and stores it as the second reference angle of the rotating motor.

[0075] Optionally, the zero-position reset unit 20 can be specifically used to fix the turntable of the rotating seat by cooperating with the lock hole position of the rotating motor after it moves to the lock hole position of the turntable mechanical zero position, thereby generating a stall signal that the rotating motor has stalled.

[0076] Optionally, the position calibration unit 10 can be specifically used to control the rotary motor to move clockwise toward the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the left seat in response to the trigger signal of the first trigger device of the left seat when the rotating seat is the left seat; the zero position reset unit 20 can be specifically used to control the rotary motor to move counterclockwise toward the mechanical zero position of the turntable of the left seat in response to the trigger signal of the second trigger device of the left seat.

[0077] Optionally, the position calibration unit 10 can be specifically used to control the rotary motor to move counterclockwise toward the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable of the right seat in response to the trigger signal of the first trigger device of the right seat when the rotating seat is the right seat; the zero position reset unit 20 can be specifically used to control the rotary motor to move clockwise toward the mechanical zero position of the turntable of the right seat in response to the trigger signal of the second trigger device of the right seat.

[0078] Optionally, the first triggering device and the second triggering device are physical buttons or electronic switches.

[0079] Optionally, the first triggering device is a seat rotation control device corresponding to the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable. When the seat controller receives the trigger signal from the first triggering device, it controls the rotating seat to rotate in the direction of the mechanical hard stop point of the turntable.

[0080] Optionally, the second triggering device is a seat rotation control device that controls the rotating seat to rotate to a specified angle, wherein the specified angle includes 90° and 180° based on the mechanical zero position of the turntable.

[0081] This invention provides a rotating seat position calibration device. This device is used to: when the seat controller detects a loss of position of the rotating motor controlling the rotating seat, responding to a trigger signal from a first trigger device of the rotating seat, control the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop point of the rotating seat's turntable; when the seat controller detects the rotating motor is stalled, calibrate the current position to -90° and store it as the first reference angle of the rotating motor; responding to a trigger signal from a second trigger device of the rotating seat, control the rotating motor to move towards the mechanical zero position of the rotating seat's turntable, and maintain the rotating locking mechanism of the rotating motor in a locked state during the movement; when the seat controller detects the rotating motor is stalled, calibrate the current position to 0° and store it as the second reference angle of the rotating motor. This invention simplifies the rotating motor position calibration process by using trigger devices on the rotating seat to guide the rotating motor towards the mechanical hard stop point and the zero position direction respectively after the seat controller detects a loss of position, and performs position calibration when stalled. This helps consumers calibrate the rotating motor position themselves, thereby improving the convenience of using the rotating seat adjustment function.

[0082] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each unit performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0083] The rotating seat position calibration device includes a processor and a memory. The position calibration unit 10 and the zero-position reset unit 20 are stored in the memory as program units. The processor executes the program units stored in the memory to achieve the corresponding functions.

[0084] The processor contains a kernel that retrieves the corresponding program units from memory. One or more kernels can be configured. By adjusting the kernel parameters, when the seat controller detects a loss of position in the rotary motor, the trigger device on the rotating seat guides the motor to move towards the mechanical hard stop and zero position respectively. Position calibration is performed when the motor stalls, simplifying the rotary motor position calibration process and helping consumers calibrate the motor themselves, thus improving the ease of use of the car seat rotation adjustment function.
