Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle control, in particular to a control method and device for a vehicle spoiler and tailgate, and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] When a vehicle is running at high speed, it will be subjected to air resistance in multiple directions according to the principle of aerodynamics. In recent years, the application of spoilers has gradually become widespread. The role of the spoiler is to offset a part of the lift, effectively control the vehicle to float, so that the vehicle can run closely to the road surface, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle running.

[0003] The spoiler is generally installed on the tailgate and is controlled by the vehicle controller to open and close. In the parked state, when the user needs to open the tailgate, the spoiler needs to be closed first to avoid the risk of the spoiler hitting obstacles (such as the ceiling of the garage) during the upward opening of the tailgate due to the open state of the spoiler. Generally, the vehicle controller does not simultaneously perform the actions of closing the spoiler and opening the tailgate, because if the user's hand or other objects are caught in the spoiler when it is closed, the user's hand will be lifted upward with the tailgate, causing danger.

[0004] In recent years, some existing technologies for controlling the tailgate and the spoiler have appeared. For example, the current state of the tailgate and the spoiler is collected in real time, and it is determined whether the tailgate opening condition is met according to the current state of the tailgate and whether the spoiler closing condition is met according to the current state of the spoiler. When these conditions are met at the same time, the tailgate and the spoiler are controlled in linkage: the spoiler is closed first, and then the tailgate is opened. When the current state of the spoiler does not meet the spoiler closing condition, the tailgate is controlled to open under the condition that the user performs the opening tailgate operation multiple times to meet the user's demand for opening the tailgate.

[0005] In the above-mentioned existing technology, first, after receiving the user's request to open the tailgate, it is necessary to determine whether the current state of the tailgate meets the opening condition, and then to determine whether the current state of the spoiler meets the closing condition. These judgment processes need to take a lot of time, so the user needs to wait for a long time, which easily leads to the user's impatience and dissatisfaction, affecting the user experience.

[0006] Also, in the prior art, when it is determined that the current state of the tailgate does not satisfy the tailgate closing condition, i.e., the tailgate closing is not performed, although the tailgate is opened after the user performs the tailgate opening operation multiple times, the user may have generated impatience and dissatisfaction at this time, or generated confusion about the inability to open the tailgate and frequently operated the tailgate opening button, thereby reducing the user experience; and if the user does not operate the tailgate opening button multiple times but is waiting for the tailgate opening at the rear of the vehicle, in this case, the tailgate will not be opened, which will further lead to user dissatisfaction and confusion, further reducing the user experience.

[0007] In addition, in the prior art, in the case where it is determined that the current state of the tailgate does not satisfy the tailgate closing condition, the tailgate needs to be opened by relying on the user's multiple manual operations, and the entire control process cannot be intelligent.

[0008] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of clearly and completely describing the technical solutions of the present application, and for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art. The above technical solutions cannot be considered as known to those skilled in the art merely because they are described in the background section of the present application. SUMMARY

[0009] In order to solve one or more problems or similar problems in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method and device for a vehicle tailgate and tailgate, and a vehicle, which can shorten the user's waiting time for the tailgate to open and improve the user's convenience and user experience when using the vehicle.

[0010] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a control method for a vehicle tailgate and tailgate is provided, the method comprising: in response to a request signal for opening the tailgate, controlling the tailgate to perform a closing action; when no signal of completion of the closing action of the tailgate is received within a preset time, cutting off the linkage control of the tailgate and the tailgate, and controlling the tailgate to perform an opening action.

[0011] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a control device for a vehicle tailgate and tailgate is provided, the device comprising: a memory; a processor for implementing the control method for a vehicle tailgate and tailgate according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application when executing the computer program.

[0012] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a vehicle is provided, comprising a tailgate, a tailgate, and a control device for a vehicle tailgate and tailgate according to the second aspect of the embodiments of the present application, the tailgate being mounted on the tailgate, and the control device being connected to the tailgate and the tailgate, respectively.

[0013] One of the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application is that:

[0014] In response to a request to open the tailgate, if no signal of tailgate closing completion is received within a preset time after the tailgate starts to close, the linkage control between the tailgate and the tailgate is immediately cut off and the tailgate is opened, so that the tailgate can be opened in time in the case of tailgate failure or other abnormal state that cannot be normally closed, thus shortening the time for the user to wait for the tailgate to open, improving the convenience of the user using the vehicle, and improving the user experience;

[0015] Moreover, automatic control of the tailgate and the tailgate can be achieved without additional manual operation by the user, thereby realizing intelligent control of the vehicle.

[0016] Further, the preset time for triggering the opening of the tailgate is determined according to the time required for the closing action of the tailgate to be completed, for example, the preset time is slightly greater than the time required for the closing action of the tailgate to be completed, so that the tailgate closing completion can be waited for as much as possible, but the user will not wait for too long, and the safety of the tailgate and the user experience are taken into account.

[0017] Further, the time required for the closing action of the tailgate to determine the preset time is the fixed time required for the tailgate to be closed from the maximum opening angle, so that the tailgate closing completion can be waited for as much as possible, and the preset time determined accordingly is a fixed value, which is simple to judge and process in the control process.

[0018] Further, the time required for the closing action of the tailgate to determine the preset time is the time required for the tailgate to be closed from the current opening angle, so that when the tailgate is currently opened at a certain angle without being fully opened, the preset time can be set to be shorter, and therefore the time for the user to wait for the tailgate to open is shorter.

[0019] Further, when controlling the tailgate to perform the opening action, the tailgate is controlled to perform the opening action according to the current state of the tailgate, for example, the greater the current opening angle of the tailgate, the smaller the opening angle of the tailgate is controlled to open; the smaller the current opening angle of the tailgate, the greater the opening angle of the tailgate is controlled to open. In this way, the opening angle of the tailgate can be flexibly determined according to the current opening angle of the tailgate, so as to balance the convenience of the user using the trunk while reducing the risk of the tailgate hitting an obstacle.

[0020] Further, the tailgate is controlled to remain in the current state after the linkage control between the tailgate and the tailgate is cut off, which can facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the tailgate, for example, the tailgate remaining in a partially opened state can make the diagnosis and maintenance of the problem more intuitive, and the maintenance personnel can more easily access the driving mechanism and related components of the tailgate without the need to specially deploy or retract the tailgate;

[0021] In addition, after cutting off the linkage control between the tail wing and the tail gate, the tail wing is controlled to remain in the current state, which can reduce mechanical wear and tear, for example, to avoid the tail wing continuing to close or repeatedly opening and closing due to a fault, and keeping the tail wing at the current opening amplitude can reduce the action of the tail wing and prolong the service life of the components.

[0022] In addition, after cutting off the linkage control between the tail wing and the tail gate, the tail wing is controlled to remain in the current state, which can reduce further damage, for example, if the tail wing attempts to continue to open or retract but encounters resistance, continued attempts can exacerbate damage to the mechanical or electrical system. Stopping the action in a partially open state can prevent the motor or transmission from bearing more pressure.

[0023] Further, in the case where the tail wing is detected to be clamped with foreign matter, the tail wing is controlled to open to a preset angle in the current state; when the foreign matter is removed, the tail wing is controlled to return to the state before opening the preset angle. In this way, in the case where the tail wing is clamped with foreign matter, such as a user's hand or the like, a certain angle can be opened to remove the foreign matter, and then the tail wing is controlled to return to the original state, which can improve the safety of the user using the vehicle and meet the troubleshooting needs of the tail wing.

[0024] Further, during the control of the tail wing to perform the closing action, the user is informed of the information that the tail gate will be opened after the tail wing is closed, so that the user can timely know the reason for the slight waiting of the opening of the tail gate, further improving the user experience.

[0025] Further, after cutting off the linkage control between the tail wing and the tail gate, the user is informed of the fault information of the tail wing, so that the user can timely know the fault information of the tail wing without waiting for the tail gate to be opened, so as to perform troubleshooting as early as possible or contact the maintenance agency for processing.

[0026] Further, when the tail gate is in a state of being closed again after the opening action is completed, and the opening request signal of the tail gate is received again, the state of cutting off the linkage control between the tail wing and the tail gate is maintained, and the tail gate is controlled to perform the opening action. In this way, when the user needs to open the tail gate again, it is not necessary to repeatedly judge whether the tail wing closing completion signal is received within a preset time, but the tail gate is directly opened, further reducing the waiting time of the user, thereby further improving the convenience and user experience of the user using the vehicle.

[0027] Further, when the vehicle is powered off and powered on again, it is detected whether the spoiler is faulty; in the case that the detection result is that the spoiler is not faulty, the linkage control of the spoiler and the tailgate is resumed; in the case that the detection result is that the spoiler is faulty, the state of cutting off the linkage control of the spoiler and the tailgate is maintained. In this way, in the case that the spoiler is detected to be faulty after the vehicle is restarted or the circuit system of the vehicle is restarted, the linkage control of the spoiler and the tailgate is cut off, so that when the user needs to open the tailgate, the user does not need to repeatedly judge whether the signal of completion of closing of the spoiler is received within the preset time, but directly opens the tailgate, further reducing the waiting time of the user, thereby further improving the convenience of the user in using the vehicle and the user experience.

[0028] Further, the linkage control of the spoiler and the tailgate refers to that after the spoiler is completely closed, the tailgate performs an opening action. In this way, the safety during opening of the tailgate can be improved, and the risk of collision of the spoiler with an obstacle can be reduced.

[0029] In addition, the linkage control can be cut off or resumed under different conditions, so that the tailgate and the spoiler can be appropriately controlled under different conditions, improving the safety of use of the spoiler and other vehicle components, and improving the convenience of the user in using the tailgate and the user experience.

[0030] Further, when the vehicle switches to a preset driving mode or the speed of the vehicle is reduced to be less than a preset speed, and the closing action of the spoiler fails, the user is informed of the fault information of the spoiler, so that the user can timely know the information that the spoiler is faulty, thereby being able to troubleshoot as early as possible or contact a maintenance agency for processing.

[0031] Further, when the signal of completion of the closing action of the spoiler is received within the preset time, the tailgate is controlled to perform an opening action, so that the tailgate can be timely opened regardless of whether the spoiler is closed.

[0044] The foregoing and other features of the present application will become more apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0045] A control method of a vehicle spoiler and tailgate, a control apparatus of a vehicle spoiler and tailgate, and a vehicle according to embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Embodiments of the first aspect

[0047] A control method of a vehicle spoiler and tailgate according to embodiments of the present application is provided.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vehicle can be a vehicle for various purposes, such as a small passenger car, a truck, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, the vehicle can be a vehicle of various powers, for example, a car, a new energy vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, the spoiler of the vehicle is also called a spoiler.

[0051] In some embodiments, the spoiler of the vehicle is an electric spoiler, that is, a spoiler capable of opening or closing action by control of a controller or other control device.

[0052] In some embodiments, the opening of the spoiler can also be referred to as the unfolding or opening or lifting of the spoiler, for example, gradually rotating from flush with the surface of the tail of the vehicle (i.e. the included angle is 0) to a certain included angle with the surface of the tail of the vehicle.

[0053] In some embodiments, the opening of the spoiler includes complete opening and partial opening, complete opening refers to opening the spoiler to the maximum opening angle, and partial opening refers to opening the spoiler to an angle smaller than the maximum opening angle.

[0054] In some embodiments, the opening of the spoiler has a maximum opening angle, for example, the maximum opening angle is 20 degrees.

[0055] In some embodiments, the complete closing of the spoiler can also be referred to as the closing or folding or lowering of the spoiler, for example, gradually rotating from a certain included angle with the surface of the tail of the vehicle to flush with the surface of the tail of the vehicle (i.e. the included angle is 0).

[0056] In some embodiments, the action of the spoiler is driven by an electric motor, and the opening angle of the spoiler can be controlled by controlling the parameters (such as the number of revolutions or the rotation angle) of the electric motor, and in addition, the current state (opening angle) of the spoiler can be determined according to the parameters of the electric motor.

[0057] In some embodiments, the shape and size of the spoiler can be designed according to actual needs, for example, the spoiler is a generally long strip-shaped plate structure.

[0058] In some embodiments, the tail door of the vehicle is also called a trunk door.

[0059] In some embodiments, the tail door of the vehicle is an electric tail door, that is, a tail door capable of opening or closing action by control of a controller or other control device.

[0060] In some embodiments, the opening of the tail door can also be referred to as the opening or lifting of the tail door, for example, gradually rotating from fitting with the tail of the vehicle to a certain included angle with the tail of the vehicle.

[0061] In some embodiments, the opening of the tailgate includes full opening and partial opening, the full opening refers to the tailgate being opened to a maximum opening angle, and the partial opening refers to the tailgate being opened to an angle smaller than the maximum opening angle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the opening of the tailgate has a maximum opening angle, for example, the maximum opening angle is 100 degrees.

[0063] In some embodiments, the closing of the tailgate can also be referred to as the closing of the tailgate or the folding up of the tailgate or the lowering of the tailgate, for example, gradually rotating from a certain angle with the tail of the vehicle to fit the tail of the vehicle.

[0064] In some embodiments, the action of the tailgate is driven by the motor, and the opening angle of the tailgate can be controlled by the parameters (such as the number of revolutions or the rotation angle) of the motor, and in addition, the current state (opening angle) of the tailgate can be determined according to the parameters of the motor.

[0065] In some embodiments, the tailgate and the spoiler of the vehicle are both located at the tail of the vehicle, and the spoiler of the vehicle is installed on the tailgate, that is, the spoiler changes position along with the opening action or closing action of the tailgate. Therefore, when the spoiler is in a state of not being fully closed, that is, in an open angle state, if the tailgate is opened, the spoiler in the open state will also rise along with the tailgate.

[0066] In some embodiments, the user can be at least one person using the vehicle, for example, one or more of the driver, passenger, etc. of the vehicle.

[0067] Figure 1 is a block diagram of a control method of a vehicle spoiler and tailgate according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the control method includes: Figure 1

[0068] Step 101: in response to a request signal for opening the tailgate, control the spoiler to perform a closing action;

[0069] Step 102: when no signal of the completion of the closing action of the spoiler is received within a preset time, cut off the linkage control of the spoiler and the tailgate, and control the tailgate to perform an opening action.

[0070] In some embodiments, the control method of the vehicle spoiler and the tailgate is performed by a control device on the vehicle, for example, by a vehicle controller, for example, the vehicle controller is a controller in the vehicle control system.

[0071] In step 101, in response to a request signal for opening the tailgate, control the spoiler to perform a closing action.

[0072] In some embodiments, the request signal for opening the tailgate is generated based on the user's operation or instruction for opening the tailgate. ​

[0073] For example, when the vehicle is parked, the user can operate the tailgate opening button in or near the vehicle's central control area, or operate the tailgate opening button on the car key, or issue a voice command to open the tailgate through the in-vehicle voice interaction system.

[0074] In some embodiments, upon receiving a request signal to open the tailgate, the rear wing is immediately controlled to close. That is, in the initial or default state, the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate is activated.

[0075] For example, the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate includes: closing the rear wing before opening the tailgate. In other words, the tailgate opens only after the rear wing is completely closed.

[0076] This improves safety during tailgate opening and reduces the risk of the tail wing colliding with obstacles;

[0077] In addition, this linkage control can be cut off or restored under different circumstances, thereby enabling appropriate control of the tailgate and rear spoiler for different situations. This improves the safety of vehicle components such as the rear spoiler while enhancing the convenience and user experience of using the tailgate.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the tail fin is currently in the open state (including fully open or partially open), the closing action begins, that is, the opening angle is gradually reduced, and when the fully closed position is reached, a signal indicating that the closing action is complete is generated and sent to the controller; while when the tail fin is currently in the closed state, a signal indicating that the closing action is complete is directly generated and sent to the controller.

[0079] In some embodiments, a timer is started upon receiving a request signal to open the tailgate (or when the tail wing is controlled to close).

[0080] In step 102, if no signal indicating that the tail wing has closed is received within a preset time, the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate is cut off, and the tailgate is controlled to open.

[0081] In some embodiments, the preset time starts at the moment when a request signal to open the tailgate is received, or at the moment when the tail wing is controlled to perform a closing action.

[0082] For example, if no signal indicating that the tail wing has closed is received when the timer reaches the preset time, the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate will be immediately cut off, that is, the tail wing and the tailgate will be controlled independently. For example, the current state of the tail wing will be maintained while the tailgate is opened.

[0083] In this way, if no signal indicating that the tailgate is closed is received within a preset time after the tailgate is controlled to start closing in response to the request to open the tailgate, the linkage control between the tailgate and the tailgate will be immediately cut off and the tailgate will be opened. This allows the tailgate to be opened in a timely manner even if the tailgate malfunctions or other abnormal conditions prevent it from closing properly. As a result, the time users have to wait for the tailgate to open is shortened, the convenience of using the vehicle is improved, and the user experience is enhanced.

[0084] For example, after a user presses the button to open the tailgate from inside the car and walks to the vicinity of the tailgate, a preset time has already elapsed and the tailgate opening process has begun, thus not affecting the user experience.

[0085] Furthermore, it can automatically control the rear spoiler and tailgate without requiring additional manual operation from the user. For example, the tailgate can be opened promptly without the user having to press the tailgate opening button multiple times, thus achieving intelligent vehicle control.

[0086] In some embodiments, the preset time is determined based on the time required for the tail fin to close.

[0087] For example, the preset time is slightly longer than the time required for the tail fin to close. That is, the preset time is equal to the time required for the tail fin to close plus a preset value. This preset value can be set according to the actual situation, such as the user's waiting tolerance.

[0088] For example, if the tail fin closing action takes 2.5 seconds to complete, and the preset value is 0.5 seconds, then the preset time is 3 seconds.

[0089] This allows for waiting for the rear wing to close completely, but without making the user wait too long. The tailgate is opened before it exceeds the user's tolerance, thus balancing rear wing safety and user experience.

[0090] In some embodiments, the time required for the tail fin to close is a fixed time required for the tail fin to move from its maximum opening angle to complete closing.

[0091] This fixed time can be pre-calculated based on the maximum opening angle of the tail fin and the motor speed. For example, the fixed time is 4 seconds, and the preset time is 4.5 seconds.

[0092] In this way, we can wait for the tail fin to close completely, and the preset time is a fixed value, which makes it simple to make judgments and handle the situation during the control process.

[0093] In some embodiments, the time required for the tail fin to complete its closing action, which is used to determine the preset time, is the time required for the tail fin to go from its current opening angle to complete its closing.

[0094] For example, if the current opening angle of the tail fin is 10 degrees (e.g., the maximum opening angle is 20 degrees), and the time required from the current opening angle to the completion of closing is calculated to be 2 seconds, then the preset time is shortened to 2.5 seconds.

[0095] In this way, when the tail wing is currently open to a certain angle but not fully open, the preset time can be set to be shorter, so that the tailgate can be opened faster. Therefore, the user waits less time for the tailgate to open, resulting in a better user experience.

[0096] In some embodiments, step 102, controlling the tailgate to open includes: controlling the tailgate to open based on the current state of the tail wing. For example, determining the opening angle of the tailgate based on the current opening angle of the tail wing.

[0097] For example, the larger the current opening angle of the tail wing, that is, the higher the opening height of the tail wing, the smaller the control angle of the tailgate opening, thereby preventing the tail wing, which is opened at a large angle, from hitting obstacles such as the ceiling.

[0098] For example, the smaller the current opening angle of the tail wing, that is, the lower the height of the opened tail wing, the larger the control angle of the tailgate opening, so as to maximize the opening angle of the tailgate even when the tail wing opening angle is small.

[0099] This allows for flexible determination of the tailgate opening angle based on the current opening angle of the rear wing. This reduces the risk of the rear wing hitting obstacles while also ensuring user convenience when using the trunk. In other words, it maximizes the tailgate opening angle while minimizing the risk of the rear wing hitting obstacles, making it easier for users and further improving the user experience.

[0100] In some embodiments, in step 102, when no signal indicating completion of the tail wing closing action is received within a preset time, after cutting off the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, the control method may further include: controlling the tail wing to remain in its current state.

[0101] For example, after disconnecting the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate, the rear wing is kept in its current state while the tailgate begins to open.

[0102] In this way, by keeping the tail wing in its current state (e.g., maintaining the current opening angle) after disconnecting the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, it is easier to inspect and repair the tail wing. For example, keeping the tail wing in a partially open state may make the diagnosis and repair of the problem more intuitive, and maintenance personnel can more easily access the tail wing's drive mechanism and related components without having to specifically deploy or retract the tail wing.

[0103] In addition, after disconnecting the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, keeping the tail wing in its current state (e.g., maintaining the current opening angle) can reduce mechanical wear. For example, it can prevent the tail wing from continuing to close or from repeatedly opening and closing due to malfunction. Keeping the tail wing at its current opening angle can reduce the movement of the tail wing and extend the life of the components.

[0104] Additionally, after disengaging the linkage control between the tail wing and tailgate, maintaining the tail wing in its current state (e.g., maintaining the current opening angle) reduces further damage. For example, if the tail wing attempts to continue opening or retracting but encounters resistance, continued attempts may exacerbate damage to the mechanical or electrical systems. Stopping operation in a partially open state prevents the motor or transmission from being subjected to additional stress.

[0105] In some embodiments, in step 102, the tail fin is controlled to remain in its current state. However, there may be some special circumstances, such as the detection that the tail fin has caught a foreign object (e.g., the user's hand or other parts or other foreign objects), triggering the foreign object removal mode (also known as the anti-pinch mode).

[0106] Specifically, when a foreign object is detected stuck in the tail fin, the tail fin is first controlled to open to a preset angle in the current state; when the foreign object is removed, the tail fin is then controlled to return to the state before it opened to the preset angle.

[0107] For example, if the tail wing encounters resistance exceeding a preset safety threshold during the closing process, it will immediately stop closing and open to a certain extent, allowing the user to remove their hand.

[0108] In this way, if a foreign object, such as a user's hand, gets caught in the rear wing, the wing can be opened at a certain angle to remove the object before being controlled to return to its original state. This improves the safety of the user when using the vehicle and also addresses the need for troubleshooting the rear wing.

[0109] In some embodiments, when a signal indicating that the tail wing has completed closing is received within a preset time, the tailgate is controlled to open. This ensures the tailgate can be opened promptly regardless of whether the tail wing has closed.

[0110] In some embodiments, in addition to steps 101 and 102 described above, the control method may also include one or more optional steps. These optional steps are described in detail below.

[0111] In some embodiments, the control method may optionally further include: when a request signal to open the tailgate is received again after the tailgate has been closed again following the opening action, maintaining the state of cutting off the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, and controlling the tailgate to perform the opening action.

[0112] Figure 2 This is another block diagram of the control method for the vehicle rear spoiler and tailgate according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0113] Step 201: In response to the request signal to open the tailgate, control the tail wing to perform the closing action;

[0114] Step 202: If no signal indicating that the tail wing has closed is received within the preset time, disconnect the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, keep the tail wing in its current state, and control the tailgate to open, thus completing the opening of the tailgate.

[0115] Step 203: In response to the request signal to close the tailgate, control the tail wing to perform the closing action, and complete the closing of the tailgate;

[0116] For example, the user can operate the close button on the tailgate, or the user can operate the tailgate close button on the car key, or the user can issue a voice command to open the tailgate through the in-vehicle voice interaction system.

[0117] Step 204: Upon receiving the request signal to open the tailgate again, maintain the state of disconnecting the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, and control the tailgate to perform the opening action to complete the opening of the tailgate.

[0118] In this way, when the user needs to open the tailgate again, there is no need to repeatedly check whether the signal that the rear spoiler has been closed has been received within the preset time. Instead, the tailgate can be opened directly, further reducing the user's waiting time and thus further improving the convenience and user experience of using the vehicle.

[0119] In addition, steps 201 and 202 can be referred to the specific content of steps 101 and 102, which will not be repeated here.

[0120] In some embodiments, the control method may optionally further include: when the vehicle is powered off and then powered on again, detecting whether the rear wing is faulty; if the detection result indicates that the rear wing is not faulty, restoring the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate; if the detection result indicates that the rear wing is faulty, maintaining the state of disconnecting the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate.

[0121] Figure 3 This is another block diagram of the control method for the vehicle rear spoiler and tailgate according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0122] Step 301: In response to the request signal to open the tailgate, control the tail wing to perform the closing action;

[0123] Step 302: If no signal indicating that the tail wing has closed is received within the preset time, disconnect the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, keep the tail wing in its current state, and control the tailgate to open, thus completing the opening of the tailgate.

[0124] Step 303: Power off and then power back on the vehicle;

[0125] For example, after the vehicle is turned off or the power to the electrical system is cut off, power can be restored via IG ON or ACC.

[0126] Step 304: Check the tail fin for malfunctions;

[0127] For example, a preset self-test program can be used to check whether the wiring circuit of the tail wing is normal and whether the tail wing can perform its movements normally.

[0128] Step 305: If the test result shows that there is no fault in the tail wing, restore the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate; for example, when a request signal to open the tailgate is received, first close the tail wing, and then open the tailgate after the tail wing has closed.

[0129] Step 306: If the detection result indicates that the tail wing is faulty, maintain the state of disconnecting the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate; for example, when a request signal to open the tailgate is received, do not control the tail wing, and directly open the tailgate.

[0130] In this way, after the vehicle restarts or the vehicle's electrical system restarts, if a fault is detected in the rear wing, the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate is kept off. This means that when the user needs to open the tailgate, there is no need to repeatedly check whether the signal indicating that the rear wing has closed has been received within a preset time. Instead, the tailgate is opened directly, further reducing the user's waiting time and thus further improving the convenience and user experience of using the vehicle. If no fault is detected in the rear wing, the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate is restored, thus returning to normal control.

[0131] In addition, steps 301 and 302 can be referred to the specific content of steps 101 and 102, which will not be repeated here.

[0132] In some embodiments, the control method may optionally further include: after disconnecting the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, notifying the user of the tail wing's fault information.

[0133] Figure 4 This is another block diagram of the control method for the vehicle rear spoiler and tailgate according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0134] Step 401: In response to the request signal to open the tailgate, control the tail wing to perform the closing action;

[0135] Step 402: If no signal indicating that the tail wing has closed is received within the preset time, disconnect the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, keep the tail wing in its current state, and control the tailgate to open.

[0136] Step 403: After disconnecting the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate, notify the user of the rear wing malfunction information.

[0137] The user can be notified of tail fin malfunctions in various ways. For example, one or more of the following methods can be used to notify the user of tail fin malfunctions:

[0138] The vehicle's central control screen displays fault information about the rear spoiler.

[0139] The fault information of the rear wing was broadcast through the car's speakers;

[0140] The malfunction information of the rear wing was broadcast through the external speakers of the vehicle;

[0141] The system pushes fault information about the tail fin to the user's mobile phone.

[0142] In this way, users can be informed of the malfunction of the rear wing without having to wait until the tailgate is opened, allowing them to troubleshoot the problem or contact a repair shop as soon as possible.

[0143] In addition, steps 401 and 402 can be referred to the specific content of steps 101 and 102, which will not be repeated here.

[0144] In some embodiments, the control method may optionally further include: during the process of controlling the tail wing to perform the closing action, notifying the user of information that the tailgate will be opened after the tail wing is closed.

[0145] Figure 5 This is another block diagram of the control method for the vehicle rear spoiler and tailgate according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0146] Step 501: In response to the request signal to open the tailgate, control the tail wing to perform the closing action;

[0147] Step 502: During the process of controlling the tail wing to close, notify the user that the tailgate will open after the tail wing is closed.

[0148] In some embodiments, the aforementioned "process of controlling the tail fin to perform the closing action" can be the process in which the tail fin can close completely normally; or, it can be the "process of partially closing the tail fin" in the case where the tail fin is partially closed but cannot be completely closed.

[0149] Users can be notified of the tailgate opening after the tail wing has been closed in various ways. For example, one or more of the following methods can be used to notify users of tail wing malfunctions:

[0150] The information about opening the tailgate after closing the rear spoiler is displayed on the vehicle's central control screen;

[0151] The message to open the tailgate after closing the rear spoiler will be broadcast through the vehicle's speakers.

[0152] The message to open the tailgate after closing the rear spoiler is broadcast through the vehicle's external speakers.

[0153] In this way, users can know in a timely manner why the tailgate needs to be opened slightly, further improving the user experience.

[0154] In addition, step 501 can refer to the specific content of step 101, which will not be repeated here.

[0155] In some embodiments, the control method may optionally further include: controlling the rear wing to open when the vehicle switches to a first driving mode or the vehicle's speed is greater than or equal to a preset speed; and controlling the rear wing to close when the vehicle switches to a second driving mode or the vehicle's speed is less than the preset speed.

[0156] In some embodiments, the control method may optionally further include: notifying the user of malfunction information of the rear wing when the vehicle switches to a preset driving mode (e.g., the second driving mode described above) or the vehicle speed decreases to less than a preset speed and the rear wing fails to close.

[0157] Figure 6 This is another block diagram of the control method for the vehicle rear spoiler and tailgate according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the method includes:

[0158] Step 601: In response to the request signal to open the tailgate, control the tail wing to perform the closing action;

[0159] Step 602: If no signal indicating that the tail wing has closed is received within a preset time, disconnect the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate, keep the tail wing in its current state, and control the tailgate to open.

[0160] Step 603: When the vehicle switches to the first driving mode or the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed, control the rear wing to open.

[0161] For example, the first driving mode is Sport mode or other similar mode, and the preset speed is 80 km / h or other preset value;

[0162] In this way, for example, when the vehicle switches to sport mode or is driving at high speed, the rear wing is automatically controlled to open, so that the rear wing can play its role in a timely manner and improve the stability of the vehicle.

[0163] Step 604: When the vehicle switches to the second driving mode or the vehicle speed is less than the preset speed, control the rear wing to close.

[0164] For example, the second driving mode is an economy mode or an energy-saving mode or other similar mode, and the preset speed is 80 km / h or other preset value;

[0165] In this way, for example, when the vehicle switches to economy or energy-saving mode, or when driving at low speed, the rear wing is automatically closed, thereby reducing wind resistance and improving energy efficiency.

[0166] Step 605: When the vehicle switches to the second driving mode or the vehicle speed decreases to less than the preset speed, and the rear wing fails to close, notify the user of the rear wing malfunction information.

[0167] For example, a failure to close the tail fin means that the tail fin cannot close completely.

[0168] For example, one or more of the following methods can be used to notify the tail fin of malfunction information:

[0169] The vehicle's central control screen displays fault information about the rear spoiler.

[0170] The fault information of the rear wing was broadcast through the car's speakers;

[0171] The malfunction information of the rear wing was broadcast through the external speakers of the vehicle;

[0172] The system pushes fault information about the tail fin to the user's mobile phone.

[0173] In this way, users can be informed of tail wing malfunctions in a timely manner, enabling them to troubleshoot the problem or contact a repair shop as early as possible.

[0174] In addition, steps 601 and 602 can be referred to the specific content of steps 101 and 102, which will not be repeated here.

[0175] Steps 603 to 605 are optional steps, and one or more of them can be executed. When multiple steps are executed, there is no restriction on the execution order of these steps.

[0176] Additionally, it should be noted that for Figures 2 to 6 Optional steps in, namely, Figure 2 Steps 203 and 204 in the process, Figure 3 Steps 303 to 306 in the process, Figure 4 Step 403 in the middle,Figure 5 Step 502 in the middle, Figure 6 Steps 603 to 605 in the text can be executed independently or in combination. When executed in combination, there is no restriction on the execution order of these steps.

[0177] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating one embodiment of the control method for the vehicle's rear spoiler and tailgate according to an example of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, the method includes:

[0178] Step 701: While the vehicle is parked, a request signal to open the tailgate is received;

[0179] Step 702: Control the tail fin to begin closing and start timing;

[0180] In addition, step 702 is executed immediately after step 701;

[0181] Step 703: Determine whether a signal indicating the tail fin's closing action has been received within a preset time; if the determination result is "yes", proceed to step 704; if the determination result is "no", proceed to step 705.

[0182] Step 704: Control the tailgate to open;

[0183] Step 705: Disconnect the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate;

[0184] Step 706: Keep the rear wing in its current state while simultaneously controlling the tailgate to open.

[0185] In addition, step 706 is executed immediately after step 705, or step 706 and step 705 are executed simultaneously.

[0186] Step 707: The tailgate opening action is complete;

[0187] Step 708: In response to the request signal to close the tailgate, control the tail wing to perform the closing action, and complete the closing of the tailgate;

[0188] After step 708 is completed, if a request signal to open the tailgate is received, proceed to steps 709 to 710 as follows; if the vehicle is powered off and then powered on again, proceed to steps 711 to 714 as follows.

[0189] Step 709: Another request signal to open the tailgate is received;

[0190] Step 710: Maintain the state of disconnecting the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate, and control the tailgate to perform the opening action to complete the opening of the tailgate;

[0191] Step 711: Power off the vehicle and then power it back on;

[0192] Step 712: Check if there is a fault in the tail fin; if the detection result is "yes", proceed to step 713; if the detection result is "no", proceed to step 714.

[0193] Step 713: Maintain the state of disconnecting the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate;

[0194] Step 714: Restore the linkage control between the rear wing and the tailgate.

[0195] The specific implementation of steps 701 to 714 can be found in the details of the preceding steps, which will not be repeated here.

[0196] In addition, steps 708 to 714 are optional steps.

[0197] in addition, Figure 7 The control method shown may also include Figures 4 to 6 One or more optional steps in the process.

[0198] The control method of this invention will be illustrated by a specific example below:

[0199] During vehicle operation, when the user switches the driving mode to Sport mode, the rear spoiler is activated. After the vehicle stops, if the user attempts to open the tailgate, the rear spoiler begins closing and a timer starts in response to the tailgate opening request signal. If no closing signal is received within a preset time (e.g., 3 seconds), the linkage between the rear spoiler and tailgate is severed, maintaining the rear spoiler in its current state while simultaneously opening the tailgate. This allows the user to open the tailgate promptly, avoiding excessive waiting. After the tailgate opens, the user closes it. If, after some time, the user attempts to open the tailgate again, the linkage between the rear spoiler and tailgate remains severed, and the tailgate opens again upon receiving the renewed request signal.

[0200] Additionally, when the user turns off the vehicle after arriving at their destination, and then restarts the vehicle after a period of time, the system checks for a malfunction in the rear spoiler. If the test result indicates that the rear spoiler is not malfunctioning, the linkage control between the rear spoiler and the tailgate is restored. If the test result indicates that the rear spoiler is malfunctioning, the linkage control between the rear spoiler and the tailgate remains disconnected.

[0201] Through the above embodiments, if no signal indicating that the tail wing has finished closing is received within a preset time after the tail wing is controlled to start closing in response to the request to open the tailgate, the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate is immediately cut off and the tailgate is opened. This allows the tailgate to be opened in a timely manner even if the tail wing malfunctions or other abnormal conditions prevent it from closing properly. As a result, the time users have to wait for the tailgate to open is shortened, the convenience of using the vehicle is improved, and the user experience is enhanced.

[0202] Furthermore, it can automatically control the rear wing and tailgate without requiring additional manual operation from the user, thus achieving intelligent vehicle control.

[0203] In addition, keeping the tail wing in its current state after disconnecting the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the tail wing. For example, keeping the tail wing in a partially open state may make the diagnosis and maintenance of the problem more intuitive. Maintenance personnel can more easily access the tail wing's drive mechanism and related components without having to specifically deploy or retract the tail wing.

[0204] In addition, keeping the tail wing in its current state after disconnecting the linkage control between the tail wing and the tailgate can reduce mechanical wear. For example, it can prevent the tail wing from continuing to close or from repeatedly opening and closing due to malfunction. Keeping the tail wing at its current opening position can reduce the movement of the tail wing and extend the life of the components.

[0205] Additionally, after disengaging the linkage control between the tail wing and tailgate, keeping the tail wing in its current state reduces further damage. For example, if the tail wing attempts to continue opening or retracting but encounters resistance, continued attempts could exacerbate damage to the mechanical or electrical systems. Stopping operation in a partially open state prevents the motor or transmission from being subjected to excessive stress.
