Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile equipment, and in particular to a control component, an automobile energy interface, an automobile armrest box, and an automobile glove box for an automobile. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the prior art, physical contact switches are often used for switch control components on automobiles to realize the judgment of the status of automobile components. For example, the opening and closing status of the fuel tank cap or charging port cover of the automobile, as well as the opening and closing status of the glove box and armrest box, usually depends on whether the movable part triggers the contact switch.

[0003] However, the contact switch is large in size, resulting in a complex structure, and usually requires a reserved perforation at the installation location. At the same time, the contact triggering method will cause inevitable abnormal noise and wear, which will affect its service life. In addition, in certain circumstances, the contact switch is prone to failure and misjudgment, which may easily cause safety hazards. For example, the fuel tank cap is not locked after the contact switch is triggered and is bounced open by the contact switch.

[0004] In cars with a higher degree of automation or intelligence, moving parts are often directly driven by a drive device, so that the vehicle control module can directly control the moving parts through the drive device; in this scenario, the car control module only needs to infer the opening and closing state of the moving parts through the operating state of the drive device, so there is no need to set up specific control components.

[0005] However, the above technical solution cannot directly monitor the actual state of the movable parts when the driving device fails (for example, stuck, failed, etc.), and due to the additional driving state, there is insufficient space for setting the control components of the contact switch, making it difficult to use them simultaneously. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem of poor convenience and safety of the control components used in automobiles in the prior art. Therefore, the present application provides a control component, a vehicle energy interface, a vehicle armrest box and a vehicle glove box for automobiles, which utilizes the characteristic that the Hall sensor can output different signals according to the change of magnetic force, replacing the original contact switch commonly used in automobiles, and can accurately monitor the state of the cover plate in components such as the vehicle energy interface, the armrest box or the glove box, and the magnetic strength of the magnetic part changes greatly with the distance when it approaches the Hall sensor, so that the Hall sensor can detect the difference within a very small range of travel and output different signals, and its control accuracy is high;

[0007] In addition, since the magnetic component and the Hall sensor only rely on magnetic induction without contact, and most materials except metal iron can be placed between the two, it is more convenient and easier to arrange the installation position, and the contact-free and friction-free characteristics greatly improve the service life of the control component.

[0008] Furthermore, a power amplifier is provided between the Hall sensor and the electronic control component, so that after receiving the signal of magnetic force change, the Hall sensor can independently control the operation of the electronic control component, so that the electronic control component does not need an additional power line, which is conducive to reasonable layout and saves interior space of the car; further, the Hall sensor directly controls the electronic control component through the power amplifier, and there is no need to set up a line for receiving the signal change of the Hall sensor and then control the electronic control component through the line, so that the entire control component is more independent. The car only provides power to the Hall sensor and does not directly participate in the control of the electronic control component, so that the control component can be applicable to a variety of different models of vehicles at the same time, with a wider range of use, and it is also conducive to subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0009] An embodiment of the present application provides a control assembly for an automobile, comprising a housing and a control assembly;

When it is detected that the charging port cover is open, the external module supplies power to the electronic control component integrated in the control component to start the electronic control component. The power supply form can be normal power or PWM waveform power.

Furthermore, the control component is small in size and can be applied to the scenario of electrically opening and closing the second cover. That is, the Hall sensor is integrated in the control motor component.

Although the description of the present invention will be introduced in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, this does not mean that the features of this invention are limited to this implementation. On the contrary, the purpose of introducing the invention in conjunction with the implementation is to cover other options or modifications that may extend based on the claims of the present invention. In order to provide a deep understanding of the present invention, the following description will include many specific details. The present invention can also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion or blurring the focus of the present invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0100] It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0101] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0104] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0105] It should be noted that the Hall induction element 3, also known as the Hall sensor, is a transducer that converts a changing magnetic field into a change in output voltage. The Hall sensor is first practical for measuring magnetic fields. In addition, it can also measure physical quantities that generate and affect magnetic fields. For example, it is used for contact switches, Hall, position measurement, speed measurement and current measurement equipment. In its simplest form, the sensor acts as an analog transducer and directly returns a voltage. Under a known magnetic field, its distance from the Hall induction element can be set. The current passing through the conductor will generate a magnetic field that changes with the current, and the Hall effect sensor can measure the current without interfering with the current. The typical structure is to integrate it with the winding core or a permanent magnet next to the conductor being measured. Usually, the Hall effect sensor is connected to the circuit to allow the device to operate in a digital (on / off) mode, in which case it can be called a switch.

[0106] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A three-dimensional diagram of an automobile control component provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0107] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a control component 1 for a car, comprising a housing and a control component 1;

[0108] The control component 1 includes a Hall sensor 3 disposed in a housing, and at least one magnetic component 5 disposed separately from the housing, and when the at least one magnetic component 5 approaches the Hall sensor 3, the Hall sensor 3 is triggered;

[0109] Specifically, the control component 1 includes a power supply / voltage stabilization circuit, a protection circuit, etc., so as to meet various electrical performance requirements of the automotive grade.

[0110] Specifically, the Hall sensor 3 can be connected to the in-vehicle control module and transmit signals to the in-vehicle control module. In some embodiments, the signal can provide closed-loop information for the control of the in-vehicle control module. For example, when the vehicle control module sends a control command to control the motor to rotate and intends to close the charging door, the Hall sensor on the charging door can output a signal to the vehicle control module to confirm whether the state of the charging door is open or closed, thereby realizing a closed loop.

[0111] The Hall sensor 3 is connected to the vehicle control module and the electronic control component 4;

[0112] A power amplifier such as a transistor 10, a MOS tube, etc. may be provided between the Hall sensor 3 and the electric control component 4. The Hall sensor 3 directly outputs a first signal to the electric control component 4 through the power amplifier and supplies power.

[0113] The vehicle control module is communicatively connected and / or electrically connected to the Hall sensor 3 and can supply power to the Hall sensor 3 ; for example, the vehicle control module can be communicatively connected and electrically connected to the Hall sensor 3 via a wiring harness.

[0114] In some embodiments, the vehicle control module may also be connected to the electric control component 4 through a wiring harness, and the current first flows through the electric control component 4 and then flows into the Hall sensor 3 to supply power to the Hall sensor 3 and the electric control component 4;

[0115] In some embodiments, the vehicle control module may also be connected to the Hall sensor 3 through a wiring harness, and the current first flows through the Hall sensor 3 and then flows into the electronic control component 4 to supply power to the Hall sensor 3 and the electronic control component 4;

[0116] Specifically, in some embodiments, the vehicle control module and the electric control component 4 are integrated on a circuit board, and the current first flows through the electric control component 4 and then flows into the Hall sensor 3 to supply power to the electric control component and the Hall sensor 3;

[0117] In some embodiments, the current first flows through the Hall sensor 3 and then flows into the electric control component 4 to supply power to the electric control component 4 and the Hall sensor 3 .

[0118] See also Fig.11a and Fig.11b , Fig.11a It is a schematic diagram of a connection method between a contact switch 9 and an electric control component in the prior art; Fig.11b It is a schematic diagram of a connection mode of using a circuit composed of a Hall sensor and a transistor 10 to replace the contact switch 9 and to connect with an electric control component.

[0119] like Fig.11a and Fig.11b As shown, in some embodiments, the Hall sensor 3 and the transistor 10 can also be used to simulate the contact switch 9;

[0120] The Hall sensor 3 and the electric control component 4 are powered by an external module, and the Hall sensor 3 outputs a signal to control the on and off of the transistor 10, thereby simulating the same on and off effect as the contact switch 9;

[0121] For example, the output signal of the Hall sensor controls the on and off of the analog contact switch 9, thereby realizing the short circuit and open circuit of the internal circuit, and then changes the resistance value detected by the external module, and then determines the opening and closing state of the vehicle energy interface cover. When it is detected that the vehicle energy interface cover is opened, the external module outputs power to the electronic control component integrated in the control component to start the electronic control component. The power supply form can be normal power or PWM waveform power.

[0122] In one embodiment, at least one magnetic member 5 is disposed on an operating member in the vehicle;

[0123] The operating element triggers the Hall sensor 3 via at least one magnetic element 5 , and controls the electric control component 4 via the Hall sensor 3 .

[0124] Specifically, the strength of the magnetism of the magnet or the magnetic induction parameters of the Hall sensor 3 can be adjusted to adapt to the differences in assembly distances of different components, thereby achieving flexible implementation in various structures and greatly improving the scope of application.

[0125] Specifically, the electronic control component 4 may include all electronic devices controlled by the Hall sensing principle, or electronic devices controlled by a control module after Hall sensing judgment.

[0126] Specifically, the Hall sensor 3 includes independent ones or integrated with other control modules, and as long as it is used to detect the opening and closing status, it belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0127] It should be noted that the magnetic variation range of the magnetic part 5 in the area close to the magnetic part 5 is extremely large, and a small distance change will produce a large magnetic force change. Therefore, the Hall sensor 3 can accurately and efficiently identify the small range distance change of the magnetic part 5, thereby ensuring the detection sensitivity and accuracy of the Hall sensor 3.

[0128] Thus, the combination of the Hall sensor 3 and the magnetic member 5 is used to replace the original contact switch, so that the volume of the housing required to accommodate the Hall sensor 3 is greatly reduced, and the space utilization rate is improved; further, a power amplifier is provided between the Hall sensor 3 and the electric control component 4, so that the Hall sensor 3 can feedback the first signal to the electric control component 4, and there is no need to power the Hall sensor and the electric control component 4 separately, which reduces the lines, improves the integration of the control component 1, and further reduces the volume of the control component 1. At the same time, the Hall sensor 3 can detect the difference within a very small range of travel and output different signals, and its control accuracy is high.

[0129] In one embodiment, the magnetic member 5 may be a permanent magnet in any form, and the permanent magnet may be embedded or directly disposed in any component whose status needs to be monitored.

[0130] In one embodiment, a circuit board is disposed in the housing, and the Hall sensor 3, the electric control component 4 and the power amplifier are all disposed on the circuit board and connected via the circuit board;

[0131] A mounting portion 2 is disposed outside the housing, and the housing is detachably fixed in the vehicle via the mounting portion 2 .

[0132] By integrating the Hall sensor 3, the electronic control component 4 and the power amplifier on the circuit board, the shell can be better used for packaging, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the control component 1; at the same time, the shape and structure of the circuit board can be designed according to the actual installation position of the control component 1. At the same time, the circuit board can also support and rigidly protect the Hall sensor 3, the electronic control component 4 and the power amplifier, further improving the installation flexibility and reliability of the control component 1.

[0133] At the same time, a mounting portion 2 is provided on the outside of the shell, so that the shell can be directly installed into the car through the mounting portion 2, so that the Hall sensor 3, the electronic control component 4 and the power amplifier can be installed simultaneously at one time, further reducing the installation cost of the control component 1.

[0134] In other alternative embodiments, the Hall sensor 3, the electric control component 4 and the power amplifier in the control component 1 can also be connected only by a wiring harness, so that the arrangement position between the Hall sensor 3 and the electric control component 4 can be set arbitrarily. For example, the electric control component 4 is arranged outside the housing and connected to the Hall sensor 3 in the housing through a wiring harness.

[0135] In one embodiment, only a single Hall sensor 3 is provided in the housing;

[0136] At least one magnetic member 5 is provided in two pieces and is symmetrically arranged relative to the Hall sensor 3;

[0137] When the two magnetic elements 5 approach the Hall sensor 3 at the same time, the Hall sensor 3 is triggered.

[0138] In some implementations, the threshold of the Hall sensor 3 may be set so that when any one of the magnetic elements 5 approaches the Hall sensor 3 , the Hall sensor 3 is triggered.

[0139] It should be noted that the cost of the Hall sensor 3 accounts for a relatively large proportion in the control component 1. Therefore, using a single Hall sensor 3 can minimize the manufacturing cost of the control component 1. In addition, by controlling the triggering magnetic force of the Hall sensor 3, the Hall sensor 3 can be triggered under the superimposed magnetic force strength of the two magnetic components 5.

[0140] In other alternative embodiments, the Hall sensor 3 can be triggered by any one of the multiple magnetic members 5, or the magnetic strength of any combination of magnetic forces. This greatly improves the flexibility and universality of the application of the control component 1. The control component 1 has the advantages of small size, flexible control logic, good reliability, and is flexibly applicable to automobiles.

[0141] In one embodiment, the housing is arranged in a strip shape, and the Hall sensor 3 and the electric control component 4 are located at both ends of the housing;

[0142] The Hall sensor 3 is wrapped in the housing, and when the Hall sensor 3 is triggered, it is spaced apart from at least one magnetic element 5;

[0143] The electric control component 4 is configured as a lighting lamp 73;

[0144] The end surface of one end of the housing provided with the electric control component 4 is provided with a wiring port, and the control board in the housing is connected to the vehicle control module through the wiring port.

[0145] In other alternative embodiments, the electronic control component 4 may also be other functional parts, such as a motor, a timer, an alarm, etc.

[0146] In one embodiment, the mounting portion 2 includes two fastening portions 21 formed by extending outward from the middle section of the housing, and a plurality of clamping portions 22 located on both sides of the housing;

[0147] The two fastening parts 21 are arranged axially symmetrically with respect to the housing;

[0148] A plurality of clamping portions 22 are disposed at two ends of the housing and are axially symmetrically distributed relative to the housing.

[0149] In some embodiments, the control component 1 can be used for components in the vehicle that are in an open or closed state. A Hall sensor is set on the open or closed component, and a corresponding magnetic component 5 is set in the sensing area of ​​the Hall sensor. When the component is opened or closed, the magnetic component 5 moves away from or closes to the Hall sensor, thereby triggering the electronic control component 4 connected to the Hall sensor.

[0155] One end of the housing provided with the Hall sensor 3 is embedded in the first cover 6, and at least one magnetic member 5 is provided as a single one and is provided in the second cover 61 corresponding to the Hall sensor 3;

[0156] The control component 1 determines the closing state of the second cover 61 and / or controls the electronic control component 4 according to the triggering state of the Hall sensor 3 .

[0157] The car charging port directly determines whether the charging port is closed based on the opening and closing state of the second cover body 61 covering the first cover body 6, and the judgment accuracy and reliability are extremely high.

[0158] In one embodiment, the second cover 61 is connected to a driving device, and the vehicle control module controls the state of the second cover 61 through the driving device. At this time, the control component 1 is connected to the vehicle control module, and the Hall sensor 3 directly feeds back the closing state of the second cover 61 to the vehicle control module according to the magnetic member 5 of the second cover 61. This improves the accuracy of the vehicle control module's sensing.

[0159] In one embodiment, the electric control component 4 can be an integrated light for displaying the charging status of the charging port and the opening and closing status of the second cover 61. The integrated light can be always on, flash, change color, etc. The integrated light can be powered by the Hall sensor through a power amplifier, or by an external vehicle control module, and the vehicle control module receives the signal from the Hall sensor to determine the opening and closing status of the second cover.

[0160] In one usage scenario, the control component 1 can also be applied to a car fuel filler port, specifically:

[0163] One end of the housing provided with the Hall sensor 3 is embedded in the third cover body, and at least one magnetic member 5 is provided as a single one and is provided in the fourth cover body corresponding to the Hall sensor 3;

[0164] The control component 1 determines the closing state of the fourth cover and / or controls the electronic control component 4 according to the triggering state of the Hall sensor 3 .

[0165] The automobile fuel inlet directly judges the opening and closing state of the fourth cover body according to the distance between the fourth cover body and the third cover body, and the judgment accuracy and reliability are extremely high.

[0166] In one embodiment, the fourth cover is connected to a driving device, and the vehicle control module controls the state of the fourth cover through the driving device. At this time, the control component 1 is connected to the vehicle control module, and the Hall sensor 3 directly feeds back the closing state of the fourth cover to the vehicle control module according to the fourth cover magnetic member 5. This improves the accuracy of the vehicle control module's sensing.

[0171] The first cover plate 71 and the second cover plate 72 are rotatably disposed on both sides of the opening of the box body 7 and are symmetrically disposed;

[0172] The housing of the control assembly 1 is only provided with a single Hall sensor 3, and one end of the housing provided with the Hall sensor 3 is arranged at the side of the opening of the box body 7 and is located between the first cover plate 71 and the second cover plate 72;

The first magnetic member 5 is disposed in a region of the first cover plate 71 corresponding to the Hall sensor 3 , and the second magnetic member 5 is disposed in a region of the second cover plate 72 corresponding to the Hall sensor 3 .

[0174] Among them, the control component 1 can accurately identify the opening and closing status of the first cover plate 71 and the second cover plate 72, and the judgment accuracy and reliability are extremely high, which is conducive to improving user experience and reducing the installation cost of the control component 1.

The Hall induction element 3 directly supplies power to the electric control component 4 through the transistor 10 or the MOS tube. With this technical solution, the electric control component 4 can be set at a position far away from the Hall induction element, and the arrangement of the electric control component 4 is more flexible.

[0178] In one embodiment, when the first cover plate 71 and the second cover plate 72 cover the opening of the box body 7 at the same time, the first magnetic member 5 and the second magnetic member 5 are close to the Hall sensor 3 at the same time and trigger the Hall sensor 3, and the Hall sensor 3 controls the first sensor light to turn off;

[0181] In some embodiments, the control component 1 can also be used for a single-door armrest box, where there is only one cover plate covering the opening of the box body 7, and only one corresponding Hall sensor 3 is provided.
