[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobiles, and more particularly to a vehicle reminder system and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the electrification of urban service vehicles is gaining momentum, with an increasing number of electric vehicles being widely used in urban services. Regulations require electric vehicles to use low-speed pedestrian warning devices, which use special sound sources to alert pedestrians. Furthermore, vehicles like street sweepers are required to play music while operating, and they also require audible warnings when turning right.

[0003] Currently, the solutions used in the market are a patchwork. One module is used for low-speed pedestrian alerts, another for external music playback (the industry generally refers to systems dedicated to cleaning, sweeping, and garbage collection as "upper-mounted electrical systems"), and yet another module is used for right-turn alerts. These solutions utilize independent modules for each of these alert functions, resulting in numerous modules and a significant cost penalty. Utility Model Content

[0025] For the purpose of reference and clarity, the following technical terms, abbreviations or abbreviations are summarized as follows:

[0026] Low-speed pedestrian alert device: It stands for "Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System", also known as "electric vehicle warning system". This system is designed to alert pedestrians and other road users to the presence of electric vehicles by emitting sound.

[0027] VCU: Vehicle Control Unit. The VCU is the core electronic control unit that implements vehicle control decisions. It is generally only equipped in new energy vehicles and is not required in traditional fuel vehicles. The VCU determines the driver's driving intention by collecting signals from the accelerator pedal, gear position, brake pedal, etc.; by monitoring vehicle status information (speed, temperature, etc.), the VCU determines and processes the information and sends vehicle operating status control instructions to the power system and power battery system, while also controlling the operating mode of the vehicle's accessory power system; the VCU has vehicle system fault diagnosis, protection, and storage functions.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle reminder system disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. The vehicle reminder system disclosed in the present application is a reminder system used in electric vehicles, which can realize many reminder functions such as playing music, low-speed pedestrian reminder, right turn reminder, etc. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle reminder system may include:

[0030] The vehicle controller 10 is used to obtain and output a vehicle status signal.

[0031] The vehicle controller is connected to various detection devices on the vehicle body and can obtain various vehicle states, such as vehicle speed, temperature, accelerator pedal opening, etc. In this application, the vehicle status signal obtained by the vehicle controller is a status signal related to vehicle reminders. Since the vehicle reminder system needs to implement a low-speed pedestrian reminder function, the vehicle status signal obtained by the vehicle controller VCU here can include, but is not limited to, a vehicle speed signal.

[0032] Normally, when the vehicle speed is within the range of 0-30km / h, a low-speed pedestrian reminder will be issued periodically. The reminder sound can be played through the vehicle's external speakers. The low-speed pedestrian reminder sound can be a warning sound, a simulated engine sound or other sounds with a reminder function. This application does not have fixed restrictions on this.

[0033] After obtaining the vehicle status signal, the vehicle controller VCU can promptly output the vehicle status signal to the center console through the connection line between the vehicle controller VCU and the center console.

[0034] The combination switch 20 is used to obtain and output a vehicle turning signal.

[0035] The combination switch is used in this application to provide a turn signal. Since the electric vehicle needs to issue a corresponding sound reminder when turning right, and the vehicle's turn signal can be determined by the switch state of the turn signal, the combination switch can obtain the vehicle's turn signal.

[0036] After receiving the vehicle turning signal, the combination switch can output the vehicle turning signal to the center console in a timely manner through the connection line between the combination switch and the center console.

[0037] The center console 30 is connected to the vehicle controller and the combination switch respectively, and is used to receive the vehicle status signal and / or the vehicle steering signal, generate a playback instruction of the sound source data matching the vehicle status signal and / or the vehicle steering signal, and execute the playback instruction.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, different vehicle signals or different reminder functions correspond to different reminder sound sources. For example, the reminder sound source corresponding to the low-speed pedestrian reminder function (low-speed signal) is a simulated engine sound, and the reminder sound source corresponding to the vehicle right turn reminder (vehicle right turn signal) is the voice "The vehicle is turning right, please pay attention."

[0039] After the center console receives the vehicle status signal or vehicle turn signal, it can first match the target sound source according to the pre-set correspondence between the matching signal and the reminder sound source, and then automatically generate and execute the playback instruction for playing the target sound source to complete the output of the reminder sound source.

[0040] In addition, the center console can also integrate an external music playback function, which can be directly triggered and enabled by the user on the center console.

[0041] The external speaker 40 is connected to the central console, and the user plays and outputs the sound source data.

[0042] Since the vehicle's low-speed pedestrian reminder function, vehicle right turn reminder function and music playback are all concentrated in the center console, and the external speaker is connected to the center console, the external speaker is used for all reminder sound sources and external music playback.

[0043] The above solution integrates the electric vehicle's low-speed pedestrian reminder function, external music playback function and right turn reminder function into the center console, and these functions are all achieved by playing the sound source through the same external speaker. This implementation reduces the number of modules in the entire vehicle and reduces vehicle costs.

[0044] In one implementation, the vehicle controller is used to obtain the vehicle speed signal collected by the vehicle speed sensor, so that when the center console analyzes the vehicle speed signal and determines that the current vehicle speed is in a set range, such as the 0-30km / h range, it automatically matches the corresponding reminder sound source and generates the corresponding playback instruction to complete the playback of the reminder sound source through the external speaker.

[0045] Specifically, the vehicle controller provides the vehicle speed. After the central console receives the vehicle speed signal, it can drive the external speaker to play the reminder sound source according to the calibrated logic.

[0046] In one implementation, the combination switch is used to detect a vehicle's right turn signal. Upon determining a right turn, the center console automatically matches the corresponding audio source and generates a corresponding playback command, which then plays the audio source through an external speaker. Specifically, the combination switch provides a turn signal for a right turn. Upon receiving the right turn signal, the center console activates the external speaker to play the audio source and alert pedestrians.

[0047] In one implementation, the center console includes a memory for storing different sound sources, each of which corresponds to different signals or commands. Thus, the user can configure reminder sound sources for different reminder functions through the center console, including adding reminder sound sources or alternative music, deleting reminder sound sources or alternative music, and replacing the default reminder sound source or default music, thereby allowing users to more flexibly customize sound source configuration.

[0048] In one implementation, the central console includes a touch screen for receiving a trigger operation triggered by a user on a user interface, and the central console is further configured to analyze the trigger operation, generate a music playing instruction, and execute the music playing instruction.

[0049] The touchscreen displays a user interface containing various touchable objects. Users can control or configure the aforementioned vehicle reminder functions through touch operations within the interface. This includes, but is not limited to, enabling and disabling the reminder function and configuring the reminder audio source. For example, the center console touchscreen can be designed with a soft switch. When the vehicle is a city service vehicle, such as a sprinkler truck, the user can operate the interface to select different music tracks.

[0050] Therefore, users can configure the reminder function and reminder sound source according to their own preferences or actual on-site conditions to better meet their needs.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of another vehicle reminder system disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, in one implementation, the vehicle reminder system may include, in addition to the vehicle controller 10, combination switch 20, center console 30, and external speaker 40, a voice acquisition device 50 connected to the center console for collecting voice signals. The center console is also used to generate voice output instructions based on the voice signals and execute the voice output instructions. In some special scenarios, the user may need to speak to the outside world. For example, when the vehicle's low-speed pedestrian reminder function fails and there are pedestrians on the road, the user can speak through the voice acquisition device inside the vehicle, and the voice of the shouting is played through the external speaker to remind the pedestrian.

[0052] This implementation ensures that if some reminder functions fail or in some special scenarios, users can independently shout out relevant instructions and reminders through external speakers, which is suitable for more application scenarios.

[0053] Furthermore, the present application also discloses a vehicle, including any vehicle reminder system described in the aforementioned embodiments.

[0054] The vehicle integrates the electric vehicle's low-speed pedestrian reminder function, external music playback function and right turn reminder function into the center console, and these functions are all achieved through the same external speaker playback sound source. This implementation reduces the number of modules in the entire vehicle and reduces vehicle costs.

[0055] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0056] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
