[0019] The following is a brief explanation of the contents of each of the accompanying drawings and the markings in the drawings:
[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the control system of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the preferred embodiments.
[0022] In the context of car locking, two technical issues need to be addressed. One is preventing children or pets from being accidentally locked inside the car, as the temperature inside the closed vehicle can rise, posing a safety hazard to children or pets. The other is addressing scenarios where users intentionally lock children or pets temporarily inside the car, such as when the driver leaves the vehicle to use the restroom, leaving the pet inside to prevent it from getting lost. To solve these two technical problems, this solution improves existing car locking control systems to create an intelligent car locking control system.
[0023] like Figure 1 The vehicle locking intelligent control system shown includes an ECU control module, a vehicle BCM, a smart key, and an active switch installed in the vehicle.
[0024] The core controller of the control module ECU system is implemented by reusing the on-board controller. The control module ECU function of this solution is implemented by the on-board ECU controller. The selected solutions include vehicle controller, chassis domain controller, cockpit domain controller, etc.
[0025] The lock vehicle or unlock vehicle signal of the smart key is sent to the control module ECU in a wireless manner, the control module ECU is connected with the vehicle BCM, the control module ECU receives the lock vehicle signal, and in the case of locking the vehicle, the vehicle door, the vehicle lamp, the showcase, the air conditioner and the like can be controlled by the BCM after the vehicle is locked.
[0026] The active switch is connected with the control module ECU and is used for receiving the on-off signal of the active switch; the on-off signal of the active switch is sent to the ECU, and the ECU locks the vehicle after receiving the lock signal and at the same time or after receiving the on-off signal, which indicates that the user has the demand of temporarily locking the vehicle, and only when the user has the demand of temporarily locking the vehicle, the active switch is triggered, at this time, it is indicated that the user temporarily leaves and there is a pet or a child in the vehicle, therefore, the ECU controls the air conditioner of the vehicle to be in the working state after the vehicle is locked by the BCM, and the working state of the air conditioner can be set at a standard temperature, so that the temperature in the vehicle during the temporary locking period can be prevented from rising, and the safety of the child or the pet in the vehicle is improved.
[0027] In order to realize the control of locking the vehicle or starting the air conditioner, the BCM is adopted to realize the control, the vehicle BCM is used for controlling the locking of the vehicle, the closing of the vehicle window and the starting and stopping of the air conditioner. Taking the control of the air conditioner as an example, the vehicle BCM is connected with the vehicle air conditioner controller, the control module ECU controls the locking state of the vehicle and the state of the air conditioner through the vehicle BCM and the vehicle air conditioner controller according to the on-off signal of the active switch. After receiving the lock signal of the remote key and the starting signal of the active switch, the ECU controls the BCM to execute the lock signal of the vehicle, and at the same time, the ECU controls the starting of the air conditioner through the BCM and runs to the preset temperature state, so as to ensure the temperature balance in the vehicle during the temporary locking period.
[0028] The active switch is set to be triggered by the user, and the user sets or triggers the active switch according to the demand, once the active switch is triggered, it is indicated that the user needs to temporarily lock the pet or the child in the vehicle, therefore, in order to facilitate the user to use and operate, the active switch is integrated in the smart key, and the on-off signal of the active switch is sent to the control module ECU through the wireless signal of the smart key. The active switch is a key or a button and is integrated in the remote key, and the on-off signal of the active switch is acquired by the remote key chip and is sent to the ECU in a wireless manner.
[0029] Since the active switch is triggered, the air conditioner needs to be turned on for a certain period of time, so a delay or timing needs to be performed, a delay module is set, the delay module is realized by a delay chip, the IO interface of the control module ECU is connected to the delay module, and after the start of the opening signal of the active switch, the delay is performed by the delay module and after the delay reaches the set time threshold, the control module ECU sends an alarm to the user through the connected alarm module. That is, after meeting the temporary locking, if the vehicle does not receive the unlocking signal within the set delay time, the user is alerted to remind the user that there is a child or pet in the vehicle.
[0030] In the present embodiment, the alarm module includes a user's mobile phone app, the control unit ECU is connected to the cloud server through the Internet of Vehicles, the cloud server is connected with the mobile phone app, and is used for transmitting alarm information. The user is notified remotely through the mobile phone app, and an alarm signal is sent.
[0031] In another preferred embodiment of the present application, when the user triggers the active switch, the driver is consciously locking the pet or child in the vehicle, but in many cases, it is caused by unconsciousness or negligence, so the present scheme starts the detection module to detect the state in the vehicle when the active switch is not triggered, i.e. the signal of the active switch is a closing signal, to realize automatic detection of whether there is a pet or child in the vehicle, so as to avoid locking the pet or child in the vehicle due to negligence, thereby meeting the user's intention to temporarily lock the vehicle and the automatic detection and alarm in the case of unintentional. The detection module is used for detecting whether there is a person or pet signal in the vehicle, and the output end thereof is connected to the control module ECU; the output end of the control module ECU is connected to the window lifter control unit, the horn controller, and the vehicle lamp controller.
[0032] The control for receiving the BCM respectively realizes the window lifting control, the horn alarm control, and the vehicle lamp flickering alarm control.
[0033] Preferably, the detection module includes one or more of a pressure sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a thermal imaging sensor, a temperature sensor, and an AI face sensor. At least multiple detection sensors can effectively and accurately detect whether there is a person or pet in the vehicle.
[0034] The setting position of the detection sensor specifically includes that the pressure sensor is arranged in the seat to detect the pressure signal on the seat; the thermal imaging sensor is arranged in the vehicle to detect the thermal imaging data in the vehicle; and the temperature sensor and the ultrasonic sensor are both arranged in the vehicle to obtain the temperature data and the ultrasonic imaging signal in the vehicle.
[0035] The scheme is equipped with a detection module, which is a multi-module sensing system composed of multiple sensors such as a seat pressure sensor (installed in the seat), a thermal imaging sensor (installed above the A / B / C pillar interior trim panel in the vehicle), an ultrasonic sensor (installed above the interior rearview mirror), and a temperature sensor (installed near the auxiliary instrument), which is used to monitor the vehicle interior environment when locking the vehicle. The sensing system can accurately identify living beings and non-living beings through calculation and analysis. When a living being is sensed, the system will automatically enter a protection mode. After receiving the abnormal instruction from the sensing system, the ECU will automatically execute the unlocking operation, and the vehicle window glass will be lowered to a certain height. The ambient temperature output by the external temperature sensor is used to automatically adjust the air conditioning temperature in the vehicle, thereby maintaining the comfort of the vehicle interior environment.
[0036] The utility model is equipped with an alarm system. When the sensing system detects the presence of a living being in the vehicle during locking, the system will emit an abnormal locking alarm sound through the external horn, reminding the driver of the locking failure and the need to take measures.
[0037] When remote alarm is implemented through a mobile phone app, it also has cloud transmission function. The system sends the abnormal locking information to the cloud and sends it to the mobile phone APP or SMS, reminding the vehicle owner to pay attention to the vehicle locking state. Users can choose according to the use environment. When the user identifies a safe environment and needs to temporarily lock the living being in the vehicle, the user can give an instruction on the mobile phone APP or a remote key to give an on-off instruction. After receiving the instruction, the vehicle will lock the door, control the temperature in the vehicle to a comfortable temperature, and lower the window to a certain height to improve the air circulation in the vehicle.
