As a result, the problems that the LOGO light can only be controlled to light up or turn off based on the LOGO light switch in the related technology are solved, and the LOGO light function is relatively simple and the user experience is poor.

[0023] Specifically, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a LOGO light control system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the LOGO light control system 10 includes: a LOGO light group 11 of a target shape mark, a LOGO light controller 12, a cockpit domain controller 13, a battery management controller 14 and a central controller 15.

[0025] Among them, the LOGO light controller 12 is used to drive the LOGO light group 11 to light up or turn off, wherein the LOGO light controller 12 is connected to the LOGO light group 11 through a hard line; the cockpit domain controller 13 is used to send a LOGO light lighting signal or an extinguishing signal to the central controller; the battery management controller 14 is used to monitor the real-time power of the vehicle during charging, and send the real-time power signal to the central controller; the central controller 15 is used to generate a LOGO light control instruction according to the LOGO light lighting signal, the extinguishing signal or the real-time power signal, and send the LOGO light control instruction to the LOGO light controller 12, the LOGO light controller 12 drives the LOGO light group 11 to light up or turn off according to the LOGO light control instruction, wherein the LOGO light control instruction can be to light up the LOGO light to make the LOGO always on, turn off the LOGO light, light up the LOGO light with breathing, etc.

[0026] It can be understood that the LOGO light controller of the embodiment of the present application is connected to the LOGO light group through a hard line, and drives the LOGO light group 11 to light up or off. The central controller 15 is connected to the cockpit domain controller 13 and the battery management controller 14, and is used to generate a LOGO light control instruction according to the LOGO light lighting signal, extinguishing signal or the remaining power information of the battery management controller 13 issued by the cockpit domain controller 14, and send the LOGO light control instruction to the LOGO light controller 12. The LOGO light controller 12 drives the LOGO light group 11 to light up or off according to the LOGO light control instruction, so that the LOGO light can be directly controlled by the cockpit domain controller, and the real-time power of the vehicle when charging can be automatically controlled to display the real-time power of the vehicle. The LOGO light is used as a prompt to display the vehicle power, so as to realize more functions of the LOGO light and enhance the user experience.

[0027] For example, if the current battery management controller monitors that the real-time power level of the vehicle is 30%, the information that the real-time power level is 30% will be sent to the central controller.

[0028] It should be noted that the target shape of the LOGO light group in the embodiment of the present application can be a diamond, square, etc. There is no limitation on the shape of the LOGO light group. The LOGO light controller can drive the LOGO light to light up or turn off through PWM (pulse width modulation) to achieve a constant light or breathing light effect.

[0029] Further, the LOGO light group 11 includes a plurality of LOGO lights, wherein the plurality of LOGO lights include at least one of a LOGO light for a welcome function, a LOGO light for a driving auxiliary lighting function, a LOGO light for a charging indication function, and a LOGO light for a remote operation indication function.

[0030] It can be understood that the LOGO light group 11 of the embodiment of the present application includes multiple LOGO lights, and the multiple LOGO lights include at least one of a LOGO light for a welcome function, a LOGO light for a driving auxiliary lighting function, a LOGO light for a charging indication function, and a LOGO light for a remote operation indication function. More functions of the LOGO light can be realized, and corresponding LOGO lights can be lit according to corresponding functions, further bringing a more intelligent use experience to users.

[0031] Furthermore, the LOGO light has at least one LED light built in.

[0032] It is understandable that the LOGO light has at least one LED light built in to realize the lighting function of the LOGO light.

[0033] Furthermore, a LOGO light switch is provided in the cockpit domain controller 13 , and the cockpit domain controller 13 is connected to the central controller 15 via a CAN line.

[0034] It can be understood that a LOGO light switch can be set in the cockpit domain controller 13 of the embodiment of the present application, for example, a soft switch for turning the LOGO light on and off can be used. The driver can turn the LOGO light on or off through the soft switch, and then generate a LOGO light on and off signal according to the LOGO light on and off soft switch, so that a LOGO light control instruction can be generated subsequently according to the LOGO light on or off signal.

[0035] Furthermore, the LOGO light control system 10 of the embodiment of the present application also includes: a vehicle power supply.

[0036] Among them, the vehicle power supply supplies power to the LOGO light control system 10.

[0037] Furthermore, the central controller 15 is connected to the LOGO light controller 12 via a LIN bus, and the battery management controller 14 is connected to the central controller 15 via a CAN line.

[0038] Furthermore, the LOGO light control system 10 of the embodiment of the present application also includes: a TBOX controller.

[0039] Among them, the TBOX controller is connected to the central controller 15 through a CAN line, which is used to receive the lighting or extinguishing instructions of the LOGO light issued by the mobile device, and send it to the lighting or extinguishing instruction central controller 15. The central controller 15 generates a LOGO light control instruction according to the lighting or extinguishing instruction, and sends the LOGO light control instruction to the LOGO light controller. The LOGO light controller drives the LOGO light group to light up or extinguish according to the LOGO light control instruction.

[0040] It can be understood that the LOGO light control system 10 of the embodiment of the present application also includes a TBOX controller, which is used to receive the LOGO light lighting or extinguishing instructions issued by the mobile device, and send it to the lighting or extinguishing instruction central controller 15. The central controller 15 generates a LOGO light control instruction according to the lighting or extinguishing instruction, wherein the mobile device can be a mobile phone, etc., thereby realizing remote welcoming and car-finding lighting functions, bringing an intelligent user experience to the user.

[0041] It should be noted that the mobile device can remotely control the vehicle's LOGO light. The TBOX controller receives the LOGO light turning on or off command issued by the mobile device and sends it to the central controller. The central controller performs subsequent operations. However, the mobile device and the TBOX controller need to receive commands based on the TSP cloud platform. The mobile device sends remote controller commands to the TSP cloud platform, and the TSP cloud platform sends the LOGO light turning on or off command to the TBOX controller.

[0042] The following is a specific example of the LOGO light control system of the present application. Taking the front LOGO light control system of an electric vehicle as an example, the LOGO light icon is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes 6 lights, namely LOGO light 1, LOGO light 2, LOGO light 3, LOGO light 4, LOGO light 5, and LOGO light 6. The specific structure of the control system is as follows Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0043] Vehicle power supply, cockpit domain controller, battery management controller, central controller, TBOX controller, LOGO light controller, LOGO light 1, LOGO light 2, LOGO light 3, LOGO light 4, LOGO light 5, LOGO light 6, cockpit domain controller, battery management controller, TBOX controller are all connected to the central controller through CAN line, and the central controller is connected to the LOGO light controller through LIN line.

[0044] Among them, the vehicle power supply provides voltage power for the cockpit domain controller, battery management controller, central controller, TBOX controller and LOGO light controller.

[0045] A soft switch for turning on and off the LOGO light is designed in the cockpit domain controller. The LOGO light switch is turned on by default when the vehicle is powered on, and the driver can turn off the LOGO light through the soft switch. The cockpit domain controller is connected to the central controller through a CAN line, and the LOGO light soft switch on or off signal (i.e., the LOGO light on or off signal) is sent to the central controller through the CAN line. The central controller generates a corresponding LOGO light on or off control instruction according to the LOGO light on or off signal sent by LOGO, and sends the LOGO light on or off control instruction to the LOGO light controller, thereby controlling the turning on or off of LOGO lights 1-LOGO lights 6.

[0046] The battery management controller can monitor the remaining power of the vehicle's power battery. After the vehicle is charged, the battery management controller sends the real-time battery power to the CAN line through a periodic signal. The central controller generates corresponding LOGO light control instructions based on the real-time battery power signal received through the CAN line. For example, when the real-time power is <20%, the central controller generates a LOGO light control instruction for LOGO light 1 to be always on, and LOGO lights 2-LOGO lights 6 to light up with a breathing pattern. The LOGO light controller controls LOGO light 1 to be always on, and LOGO light 2, LOGO light 3, LOGO light 4, LOGO light 5, and LOGO light 6 to light up with a breathing pattern according to the LOGO light control instruction.

[0047] In addition, the central controller can also monitor the vehicle door lock unlocking / closing signal and execute the LOGO light welcome lighting control. For example, after the central controller receives the remote control key unlocking command, it can control LOGO light 1-LOGO light 3 to be always on, and LOGO light 4-LOGO light 6 to light up with breathing, thereby improving the user experience; the central controller can also monitor the vehicle's position light lighting / off signal and the vehicle's high-voltage power-on status. The central controller needs to judge the vehicle's high-voltage power-on status and the position light on status. When it is detected that the vehicle's high-voltage power-on status is in the ready state and the vehicle's position lights are in the on state, it indicates that the vehicle is in the night driving state. Therefore, LOGO light 1-LOGO light 6 can be lit to achieve the effect of auxiliary lighting for night driving. If the user does not need auxiliary lighting, the LOGO light can be turned off through the LOGO light switch in the cockpit.

[0048] In summary, the above embodiments can realize multiple controls of the LOGO light. The control of the LOGO light is realized by different signals sent by multiple controllers in the LOGO light control system, and more functions of the LOGO light can be realized, specifically: first, the LOGO light is lit after the driver unlocks the vehicle, and the LOGO light is used to welcome the driver; second, the LOGO light is lit during the driver's driving of the vehicle, and the LOGO light is used to provide auxiliary lighting for the driver; third, the LOGO light is lit as a vehicle charging indicator, and the LOGO light is used to display the power battery charging range for the driver, and to grasp the vehicle charging status in real time; fourth, the LOGO lighting control is operated through a mobile phone APP, so that the driver can light the LOGO light more conveniently, thereby bringing the driver a comfortable, convenient, intelligent, and electric driving experience, and thus attracting more potential customers for the vehicle.

[0049] According to the LOGO light control system proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the LOGO light controller is connected to the LOGO light group through a hard wire, and drives the LOGO light group of the target shape mark to light up or go out. The central controller is used to generate corresponding LOGO light control instructions according to the LOGO light lighting signal, extinguishing signal issued by the cockpit domain controller, or the real-time power signal issued by the battery management controller, and send the LOGO light control instruction to the LOGO light controller. The LOGO light controller drives the LOGO light group to light up or go out according to the LOGO light control instruction, so that the lighting or going out of the LOGO light can be directly controlled by the cockpit domain controller, and the LOGO light can be used as a prompt to display the vehicle's power. The LOGO light group is automatically controlled to light up or go out based on the real-time power of the vehicle, thereby realizing more functions of the LOGO light, allowing users to observe the vehicle's power more intuitively, thereby improving the user's usage experience.
