Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive testing automation, and more particularly to a method and related equipment for automated vehicle power-on. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing and testing field, achieving automatic vehicle power-on is a crucial step in improving production line efficiency and realizing unmanned operation. Currently, for vehicles equipped with keyless entry systems, the standard power-on process includes steps such as "unlocking from outside the vehicle, moving the key into the vehicle, closing the door, and applying the brakes to power on." Existing unlocking technology still relies entirely on manual operation. This necessary human intervention directly disrupts the automation continuity of the "unlock-power-on" process, introducing not only delays and uncertainties caused by human operation but also preventing the entire process from operating in a closed loop under unattended conditions. This becomes a fundamental bottleneck restricting the improvement of testing efficiency and the realization of full automation. Therefore, the existing vehicle testing power-on process suffers from significant drawbacks due to its reliance on manual key transfer in key steps, resulting in low automation and the inability to achieve full unmanned operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a vehicle automated power-on method and related equipment, the main purpose of which is to solve the problem that the existing vehicle testing power-on process has low automation due to reliance on manual key transfer.

[0004] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical problems, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for automated power-on of a vehicle, the method comprising: The vehicle key is used to send an unlocking command from outside the vehicle, wherein the vehicle key is located at a starting position outside the vehicle, and the unlocking command is sent by the vehicle key based on an automated mechanical mechanism. Upon receiving the unlock command, the vehicle key is moved from the starting position to the target position via a preset slide rail channel to generate a key in place signal, wherein the target position is located in the vehicle key sensing area inside the vehicle. The vehicle's power-on process is triggered based on the key-in-place signal.

[0005] Optionally, the method further includes: Obtain the initial state of the vehicle, which includes the vehicle parking state, the door lock state, and the vehicle key position state; When the vehicle's initial state meets the conditions for automatic start-up, the automated mechanical mechanism is triggered to control the vehicle key to issue the unlock command.

[0006] Optionally, the method further includes: When the vehicle key issues the unlock command, the door actuator is controlled to adjust the door to a false lock state, wherein the false lock state is the door opened to a preset angle to ensure that the preset slide rail channel is unobstructed.

[0007] Optionally, upon receiving the unlock command, moving the vehicle key from the starting position to the target position via a preset slide rail to generate a key-in-place signal includes: The preset channel coordinates of the preset slide rail channel are constructed based on the in-vehicle coordinate system; When the vehicle key is moved from the starting position to the target position through a preset slide rail channel, the real-time movement coordinates of the vehicle key are obtained; If the deviation between the real-time moving coordinates and the preset channel coordinates is greater than a preset deviation, a fine-tuning signal is triggered, wherein the fine-tuning signal is used to adjust the speed of the drive motor in the preset slide rail channel used to move the vehicle key.

[0008] Optionally, the process of triggering the vehicle's power-on based on the key-in-place signal includes: Upon generating the key-in-place signal, the door actuator is controlled to adjust the door to the locked state; Detect the brake signal when the car door is locked; Upon detection of a braking signal, the vehicle's power-on process is triggered based on the key-in-position signal.

[0009] Optionally, the method further includes: The vehicle key is moved from the target position to the starting position based on the preset slide rail channel, so as to reset the vehicle key to a position controllable by the automated mechanical mechanism.

[0010] Optionally, the preset slide rail channel includes: The slide rail body has its starting end located outside the vehicle and configured as the starting position, and its end extending into the vehicle key sensing area inside the vehicle and configured as the target position. A movable seat is slidably mounted on the slide rail body for fixing and carrying the vehicle key; A drive motor, connected to the movable seat, is used to receive control commands and drive the movable seat to move along the slide rail body.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a vehicle automated power-on device, comprising: An acquisition unit is used to acquire an unlocking command sent by the vehicle key from outside the vehicle, wherein the vehicle key is set at a starting position outside the vehicle, and the unlocking command is issued based on the control of the vehicle key by an automated mechanical mechanism; A moving unit is used to move the vehicle key from the starting position to the target position through a preset slide rail channel when the unlocking command is received, so as to generate a key in place signal, wherein the target position is located in the vehicle key sensing area inside the vehicle; A triggering unit is configured to trigger the vehicle power-on process based on the key-in-place signal. To achieve the above objective, according to a third aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium comprising a stored program, wherein, when the program is executed by a processor, the steps of the above-described vehicle automated power-on method are implemented.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising at least one processor and at least one memory connected to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to invoke program instructions in the memory to execute the steps of the above-described vehicle automatic power-on method.

[0013] By employing the above technical solution, the vehicle automated power-on method and related equipment provided by this invention address the problem of low automation in existing vehicle testing power-on processes due to reliance on manual key transfer. This invention obtains an unlocking command sent by the vehicle key from outside the vehicle, wherein the vehicle key is positioned at a starting position outside the vehicle, and the unlocking command is issued based on an automated mechanical mechanism controlling the vehicle key. Upon receiving the unlocking command, the vehicle key is moved from the starting position to a target position via a preset sliding rail channel to generate a key positioning signal, wherein the target position is located within the vehicle key sensing area inside the vehicle. The vehicle power-on process is triggered based on the key positioning signal. In this solution, a fixed key starting position is first set outside the vehicle, and an automated mechanical mechanism simulates the action of a human hand pressing a key button, automatically completing the sending of the door unlocking command, thus replacing the manual operation in the initial stage of the process. Subsequently, a pre-set sliding rail physically connects the starting position outside the vehicle with the target position inside the vehicle—the key sensing area. Upon receiving an unlock command, the key is automatically moved along this sliding rail. The guide effect of the rail constrains the key's movement trajectory, thus avoiding path uncertainties and positioning errors that may occur when manually handling and moving the key. When the key is transported to the target position inside the vehicle by the sliding rail, a key positioning signal is generated. This signal marks the completion of the key spatial transfer task and serves as the trigger condition for the next process. Finally, this key positioning signal automatically triggers the vehicle's standard power-on process. By integrating the "key position migration" step into the automated control sequence, the previously discrete and partially manual steps of unlocking outside the vehicle, key migration, and power-on inside the vehicle can be linked into a coherent, system-led automated process. This reduces the overall process's reliance on human intervention and improves the level of automation.

[0014] Correspondingly, the vehicle automated power-on device, equipment, and computer-readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present invention also have the above-mentioned technical effects.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Various other advantages and benefits will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the same reference numerals denote the same parts throughout the drawings. In the drawings: Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of an automated vehicle power-on method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 This diagram illustrates a schematic block diagram of a vehicle automated power-on device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This diagram illustrates the composition of an automated power-on electronic device for vehicles according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0017] 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.

[0018] To address the issue of low automation in existing vehicle testing power-on processes due to reliance on manual key transfer, embodiments of this invention provide an automated vehicle power-on method, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: S101. Obtain an unlocking command sent from outside the vehicle by the vehicle key, wherein the vehicle key is set at a starting position outside the vehicle, and the unlocking command is issued based on the vehicle key being controlled by an automated mechanical mechanism; For example, the vehicle key refers to the remote key actually used in a car, with its starting position being a pre-set fixed point on the exterior of the vehicle. The automated mechanical mechanism refers to the mechanical pressing component driven by a relay board. By placing the vehicle key in a specific starting position, a spatial reference is established for subsequent automated operations.

[0019] This application sends commands to a relay board via a controller, driving a mechanical finger to press the unlock button on the remote key, simulating manual button operation to generate an unlock command. Specifically, when the system detects that the vehicle is parked and the doors are locked, the automated mechanical mechanism precisely executes the physical trigger of the key button, ensuring the reliable generation of the unlock command. This process transforms the traditional manual key-pressing action into a programmable, controllable mechanical motion.

[0020] By incorporating the key operation process into the automation sequence through the above technical solution, the reliance on direct human intervention in the testing process is reduced. By replacing manual operation with mechanical mechanisms, the original physical characteristics of key signal transmission are maintained, while the prerequisites for triggering subsequent key spatial migration actions are created, enabling seamless integration of the external unlocking process with the overall automation process.

[0021] S102. Upon receiving the unlocking command, the vehicle key is moved from the starting position to the target position via a preset sliding rail channel to generate a key in place signal, wherein the target position is located in the vehicle key sensing area inside the vehicle. For example, a preset sliding rail channel refers to a rigid guide rail erected between a starting position outside the vehicle and a target position inside the vehicle. The target position specifically refers to the key sensing area of ​​the keyless entry system inside the vehicle. The key arrival signal is a confirmation signal generated by the system when the key arrives at the sensing area. The sliding rail channel establishes a physical path connecting the inside and outside of the vehicle, providing a constrained channel for the spatial transfer of the key.

[0022] Upon receiving an unlocking command, this application activates the drive motor of the slide rail channel, causing the movable seat, which is fixed with the vehicle key, to move smoothly along the slide rail body from the starting point outside the vehicle to the end inside. When the movable seat carrying the key reaches the target position next to the driver's seat, the positioning sensor located at the end of the slide rail detects that the key has entered the vehicle key sensing area and then sends feedback to the control system indicating that the key is in place.

[0023] Using the above technical solution, the spatial migration of the key from outside the vehicle to inside is automated through a pre-set mechanical track. The rigid guiding characteristics of the track ensure the certainty of the key's movement path, while real-time monitoring by positioning sensors ensures the accuracy of the key reaching the target position. By transforming the physical operation of manually transferring the key into controlled mechanical movement, the key position migration can be seamlessly integrated into the automated power-on process, reducing the dependence of the entire power-on sequence on manual intervention.

[0024] S103. Trigger the vehicle power-on process based on the key in place signal.

[0025] For example, the power-on process refers to the standard startup sequence in which the vehicle enters a drivable ready state. This signal, as a key node in the process transition, marks the completion of the key space migration task.

[0026] After generating the key-in-place signal, this application directly transmits the signal as an input condition to the vehicle control unit, automatically initiating the vehicle's standard power-on procedure. Based on the valid state of the key-in-place signal, subsequent power activation operations can be executed seamlessly without manual confirmation of the key position or operation of the ignition switch, putting the vehicle into a power-on state.

[0027] Using the above technical solution, the vehicle power-on process is triggered entirely based on the automated detection and signal feedback of the key position, reducing the delays or errors introduced by manual operation during the testing process. By automatically responding to the key's position status, a seamless connection is achieved between the power-on phase and the aforementioned key transfer process, enhancing the coherence and reliability of the entire test sequence and making automated operation in unattended environments possible.

[0028] In the above scheme, a fixed starting position for the key is first set outside the vehicle. An automated mechanical mechanism simulates the action of a human hand pressing the key button, automatically sending the unlock command to the car door, replacing the manual operation in the initial stage of the process. Subsequently, a preset sliding rail physically connects the starting position outside the vehicle with the target position inside the vehicle, i.e., the key sensing area. Upon receiving the unlock command, the key is driven to automatically move along this sliding rail. The guiding effect of the sliding rail constrains the movement trajectory of the key, thereby avoiding the path uncertainty and positioning error that may occur when manually handling and moving the key. When the key is transported to the target position inside the vehicle by the sliding rail, a key positioning signal is generated. This signal marks the completion of the key spatial transfer task and serves as the trigger condition for the next process. Finally, this key positioning signal is used to automatically trigger the vehicle's standard power-on process. By integrating the "key location migration" step into the automated control sequence in the above manner, the originally discrete and partially manual processes of unlocking the vehicle from the outside, key migration, and powering on the vehicle from the inside can be linked into a coherent, system-led automated process. This reduces the overall process's reliance on human intervention and improves the level of automation.

[0029] In one embodiment, the method further includes: Obtain the initial state of the vehicle, which includes the vehicle parking state, the door lock state, and the vehicle key position state; When the vehicle's initial state meets the conditions for automatic start-up, the automated mechanical mechanism is triggered to control the vehicle key to issue the unlock command.

[0030] For example, the initial vehicle state refers to the current state of the vehicle collected by the vehicle body sensors, including whether the vehicle is parked, whether the doors are locked, and whether the vehicle key is fixed at the starting position of the external sliding rail; the automatic start condition refers to the trigger threshold set by the system when the initial vehicle state simultaneously meets the preset requirements of parking, door locking, and key placement; the automated mechanical mechanism refers to the execution component controlled by the relay board and driving the mechanical fingers to perform physical pressing operations. These parameters collectively define the necessary detection elements before the system starts.

[0031] This application acquires initial vehicle status data in real time through a sensor network integrated on the vehicle, and the controller analyzes and verifies the data. When it is determined that the vehicle is parked, the doors are locked, and the key is securely placed in the starting position, the conditions for automatic start are confirmed to be met. Then, a command is sent to the relay board to trigger the action of the automated mechanical mechanism, controlling the mechanical finger to precisely press the unlock button on the vehicle key, thereby automatically generating a valid unlock command.

[0032] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, a multi-dimensional status verification mechanism is introduced at the initial stage of the automated process, reducing the risk of process errors caused by directly triggering operations due to vehicle incompetence or improper key placement. Conditional judgments ensure that the issuance of unlocking commands is based on a safe and reliable foundation, enabling subsequent key transfer and power-on processes to commence in a controlled environment, thereby improving the coherence and success rate of the entire automated sequence.

[0033] In one embodiment, the method further includes: When the vehicle key issues the unlock command, the door actuator is controlled to adjust the door to a false lock state, wherein the false lock state is the door opened to a preset angle to ensure that the preset slide rail channel is unobstructed.

[0034] For example, the door actuator refers to the electrically driven component that controls the opening and closing state of the door. The false lock state refers to the intermediate state in which the door is controlled to be opened to a specific angle. The preset angle refers to the degree of door opening set to ensure unobstructed access to the sliding rail channel. This state is different from being fully locked or fully open; it is a transitional state specifically designed for key relocation.

[0035] This application involves sending a control signal to the door actuator immediately after the vehicle key issues an unlock command via an automated mechanical mechanism. This actuator drives the door from a fully locked state to a preset slightly open angle, maintaining the door at this specific opening. In this state, a physical space is created between the door and the vehicle body, allowing a sliding rail passage, while the door locking mechanism remains partially engaged to prevent the door from being accidentally opened or closed by external force. For example, after the key sends the unlock signal from its initial position outside the vehicle, the door automatically opens to approximately 15 degrees and remains fixed, providing an unobstructed passage for the key to subsequently slide into the passenger compartment along the rail.

[0036] It should be noted that the door actuator includes a self-locking function or uses a motor with holding torque, which can keep the door rigidly at a preset angle after receiving a false lock command, resisting external interference until a closing command is received.

[0037] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, a controlled physical channel is established during the key transfer process. By maintaining the car door at a specific opening degree, both the obstruction caused by a fully closed door to key transfer and the potential security risks posed by a wide-open door are avoided. This transitional state setting allows mechanical components to work in an orderly and coordinated manner, reducing the possibility of interruptions due to component interference in the automated process and creating the necessary spatial conditions for the automated transfer of the key from outside to inside the vehicle.

[0038] In one embodiment, upon receiving the unlocking command, moving the vehicle key from the starting position to the target position via a preset sliding rail channel to generate a key-in-place signal includes: The preset channel coordinates of the preset slide rail channel are constructed based on the in-vehicle coordinate system; When the vehicle key is moved from the starting position to the target position through a preset slide rail channel, the real-time movement coordinates of the vehicle key are obtained; If the deviation between the real-time moving coordinates and the preset channel coordinates is greater than a preset deviation, a fine-tuning signal is triggered, wherein the fine-tuning signal is used to adjust the speed of the drive motor in the preset slide rail channel used to move the vehicle key.

[0039] For example, the in-vehicle coordinate system refers to a spatial reference system with the driver's seat as the origin; the preset channel coordinates are the key movement path coordinates pre-set based on the in-vehicle coordinate system; the real-time movement coordinates are the actual position coordinates continuously acquired by sensors during key movement; the preset deviation is the position deviation threshold allowed by the system; and the fine-tuning signal is a control signal triggered when the deviation between the real-time movement coordinates and the preset channel coordinates is greater than the preset deviation, used to adjust the speed of the drive motor.

[0040] Upon receiving an unlock command, this application first constructs preset channel coordinates for a pre-defined sliding rail based on the vehicle's in-vehicle coordinate system, planning an optimized movement path for the key from its starting position to the target position. During the key's movement along the sliding rail, position sensors, such as infrared sensors, continuously collect the key's real-time movement coordinates. The system continuously compares these real-time coordinates with the preset channel coordinates. When a deviation greater than a preset deviation is detected, a fine-tuning signal is immediately triggered. This signal instructs the motor to adjust its speed, thereby dynamically correcting the key's trajectory. For example, if the key deviates from its path due to mechanical transmission backlash or external vibration, the deviation is identified through real-time coordinate comparison, and the key is gradually guided back to the preset path through subtle adjustments to the motor speed, ultimately reaching the target position accurately.

[0041] The specific adjustment logic includes two operating conditions: When the real-time coordinates lag behind the preset coordinates, meaning the key moves too slowly, the fine-tuning signal will appropriately increase the input voltage of the drive motor or increase the PWM duty cycle to accelerate the motor and drive the key carrier to approach the target position more quickly. When the real-time coordinates lead the preset coordinates, meaning the key moves too quickly, the voltage will be reduced or the duty cycle will be decreased to slow down the motor and prevent the key from overshooting the target point due to inertia.

[0042] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, a closed-loop feedback mechanism is introduced into the control of the key movement process. Through real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment, the cumulative error of position migration is reduced. It can automatically respond to minute deviations in the movement path and correct them promptly, resulting in a more stable and precise key movement trajectory. This coordinate comparison-based fine-tuning method reduces sensitivity to external interference, improves the reliability and consistency of automated key migration, and thus provides a more solid foundation for the smooth triggering of subsequent power-on procedures.

[0043] In one embodiment, the process of triggering the vehicle's power-on based on the key-in-place signal includes: Upon generating the key-in-place signal, the door actuator is controlled to adjust the door to the locked state; Detect the brake signal when the car door is locked; Upon detection of a braking signal, the vehicle's power-on process is triggered based on the key-in-position signal.

[0044] For example, the locked state refers to the safe state where the doors are completely closed and locked, and the brake signal refers to the electrical signal generated when the vehicle's brake pedal is triggered. These signals together constitute the chain conditions that trigger the vehicle's power-on process.

[0045] After generating the key-in-place signal, this application first controls the door actuator to fully close the door, which is in a false lock state, and verifies whether the door is locked using a door lock sensor. Once the door is confirmed locked, the brake pedal status is detected. This detection can be achieved by integrating an automatic brake pedal mechanism or receiving an actual brake signal. Finally, only when the key-in-place signal, door lock signal, and brake signal are simultaneously verified to be valid will the standard vehicle power-on process be triggered, putting the vehicle into power-on mode. For example, in an automated testing scenario, when the key is moved to the sensing area inside the vehicle, the door will automatically close and a brake pedal action will be simulated, ultimately starting the vehicle.

[0046] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, a multi-layered safety verification mechanism is established for triggering the vehicle power-on process. By linking and verifying the three conditions—key in place, door locked, and brake signal—the risk of misoperation due to a single misjudgment is reduced. This sequential control logic simulates safe manual power-on operating habits, ensuring the vehicle starts in a fully ready state and improving the safety and reliability of the automated process. Simultaneously, integrating multiple discrete operations into a coherent automated sequence reduces the time gaps between each stage, making the entire power-on process smoother and more efficient.

[0047] In one embodiment, the method further includes: The vehicle key is moved from the target position to the starting position based on the preset slide rail channel, so as to reset the vehicle key to a position controllable by the automated mechanical mechanism.

[0048] For example, the controllable position of the automated mechanical mechanism refers to the preset external starting position that the vehicle key needs to return to after completing the power-on process. This position facilitates the automated mechanical mechanism to perform physical operations on the key buttons again.

[0049] This application, after triggering the vehicle power-on process based on the key-in-position signal and completing it, sends a reset command to the slide rail drive motor, driving the movable seat with the vehicle key fixed thereon to move in the opposite direction along the preset slide rail channel from the target position inside the vehicle to the starting position outside the vehicle. For example, in a batch vehicle testing scenario, when a single power-on operation ends, the key automatically returns to the initial position via the slide rail, ensuring that the automated mechanical mechanism can directly control the next unlocking without requiring manual key repositioning.

[0050] Understandably, after the key is reset to the starting position, the doors are closed and locked, and all sensors and actuators return to their initial standby state. At this point, the vehicle's initial state will be checked again, including whether the vehicle is parked, the doors are locked, and the key is in the starting position, in preparation for receiving the next automated trigger command.

[0051] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, the automated reset of the key's spatial position reduces the reliance on manual intervention for repetitive operations in the testing process. By ensuring the key returns to its predetermined starting point after each use, conditions are created for multiple consecutive automated tests, improving equipment utilization and the continuity of the test sequence. This cyclical reuse mechanism allows the entire system to prepare for subsequent operations without interruption, reducing job intervals and enhancing the sustainability of the automated process.

[0052] In one embodiment, the preset slide rail channel includes: The slide rail body has its starting end located outside the vehicle and configured as the starting position, and its end extending into the vehicle key sensing area inside the vehicle and configured as the target position. A movable seat is slidably mounted on the slide rail body for fixing and carrying the vehicle key; A drive motor, connected to the movable seat, is used to receive control commands and drive the movable seat to move along the slide rail body.

[0053] For example, the slide rail body refers to a rigid guide rail installed between the exterior and interior of the vehicle, with its starting end configured as the starting position of the vehicle key and its ending end extending into the key sensing area inside the vehicle and configured as the target position. The movable seat refers to a support mechanism slidably mounted on the slide rail body for securing and carrying the vehicle key. The drive motor refers to an electrically driven component connected to the movable seat for receiving commands from the control system and generating driving force.

[0054] In this application, a preset slide rail channel provides a physical path guide for the key's movement via the slide rail body. Driven by a drive motor, the moving seat slides along the slide rail body from its starting position to its target position. When the control system issues a movement command, the drive motor starts and, through a transmission mechanism, drives the moving seat to move at a constant or variable speed, allowing the vehicle key to be smoothly transferred with the moving seat. The continuity of this path depends on the physical gap formed by the door in a false lock state. When the door actuator opens the door to a preset angle, a sufficient gap is created between the door and the vehicle body, and the slide rail body achieves continuous passage from the outside to the inside of the vehicle through this gap. For example, in an automated testing scenario, the drive motor precisely adjusts its output torque and speed according to the control signal to ensure that the moving seat carrying the key accurately stops at the sensing area inside the vehicle.

[0055] It's important to note that the sliding rail itself employs a telescopic structure. Once the key reaches the target position, the drive motor controls the sliding rail to retract in segments, completely retracting the portion that passes through the door gap, leaving ample space for the door to close. This time-sharing reuse mechanism ensures both unobstructed access during key movement and complete space when the door closes. Through precise timing control, the sliding rail and door movement work in tandem, ultimately achieving a seamless, automated process of "key in place - sliding rail retraction - door closing - power-on start."

[0056] It is understandable that the installation path of the slide rail body can be adaptively adjusted according to the internal space layout of different vehicle models. By adjusting the position of the support point and the extension angle of the slide rail, the path can be ensured to be unobstructed and not interfere with fixed components inside the vehicle.

[0057] Using the above technical solution, the movement of the key from outside the vehicle to inside is automated through a mechanical track and an electric drive system, reducing the physical effort and time required for manual key transfer. The fixed path design of the slide rail reduces the risk of deviation during movement, and the integration of the moving base and the drive motor enables precise control of key handling, thereby improving the continuity and reliability of the vehicle power-on process.

[0058] In summary, this application first sets a fixed starting position for the key outside the vehicle. An automated mechanical mechanism simulates the action of a human hand pressing the key button to automatically generate an unlocking command, replacing manual unlocking. Then, a pre-set sliding rail connects the outside and inside of the vehicle. This rail acts as a rigid guide rail, ensuring the determinacy of the key's movement path. Upon receiving the unlocking command, a drive motor moves the moving seat along the sliding rail, precisely transferring the key from its starting position to the target sensing area inside the vehicle. During this process, position sensing and coordinate comparison achieve dynamic control of the movement accuracy. Once the key is in place, a positioning signal is generated, automatically triggering the vehicle's standard power-on process, ultimately forming a coherent automated sequence of "unlocking outside the vehicle - key transfer - power-on inside the vehicle." This design integrates discrete operational steps into a controlled closed-loop system, reducing the uncertainty introduced by manual key handling and minimizing operational errors through path fixation and real-time correction. This allows the crucial step of key position transfer to be seamlessly integrated into the automated chain, thereby improving the overall process's coherence and reliability.
