[0021] In Fig. 3 The utility model discloses an embodiment of a kind of laser kicks control module, including host box 1 and the fixed block 9 of fixed in the both ends of host box 1, the front end of host box 1 is provided with wiring port 4, and light transmission hole 2 is respectively provided with in the upper end of host box 1, circuit board 7 is installed in the inside of host box 1, projection lamp 5, lens 6 and sensing module 8 are installed on circuit board 7, the entire laser kicks control module can be installed at the rear bumper of car by fixed block 9, and make light transmission hole 2 and sensing cover 3 towards ground;Again, wiring port 4 is connected with external power supply and electric tailgate system by trigger line;Specific mark is sent by projection lamp 5, mark is projected to ground designated position after light concentration and constraint light by lens 6 and through light transmission hole 2, for indicating the sensing area of kicking;The size of projection mark indicates sensing range, that is, how big the mark is, then how big the sensing range is, so that user is convenient in designated area to execute specific action;Sensing module 8 is used for controlling the lighting and extinguishing action of projection lamp 5, and simultaneously detecting human position and human foot action, when meeting specified action, then output trigger signal.
[0022] S1, human position sensing module scans whether human is close, for example, 1 time is scanned every 2 seconds, to reduce power consumption;At this time, projection lamp 5 and human foot action sensing module are in dormant state;
[0023] S2, when person is close to a certain distance from the back of car, for example, close to 1.5 meters range, human position sensing module controls projection lamp 5 to work, and projects specific mark to ground, projection lamp diameter is about 10cm, and specific size can be adjusted according to actual needs;
[0024] S3, when person is close to the front of projection lamp, for example, 0.5 meters range, human position sensing module controls human foot action sensing module to work;
[0025] S4, when person steps on projection lamp mark, human foot action sensing module identifies the action of foot and returns to human position sensing module;After judging to meet set action, human position sensing module informs electric tailgate system to execute door opening operation;When person steps on projection lamp mark, it is not identified as effective action;
[0026] S5, when the person is in the trunk detection range, the electric tailgate system enters the waiting mode, when the person leaves the trunk detection range, the electric tailgate system informs the electric tailgate to perform the door closing operation, and the electric tailgate system reenters the scanning state and waits for a person to approach.
[0027] In Fig. 4 , the human body position sensing module includes a position sensing antenna, a position sensing chip and a position master control chip, the position sensing chip is a micro-wave position chip or a millimeter-wave position chip;
[0028] The position master control chip controls the position sensing chip to periodically scan, and after the high-frequency wave is sent out through the position sensing antenna, the distance, signal strength and azimuth angle of the human body are calculated, and the position master control chip is returned through a mode including but not limited to a serial port, IIC and SPI;
[0029] Different from the capacitive kick and the common microwave kick or ultrasonic detection mode, the output signal of the human body position sensing module has an azimuth angle, that is, it can be judged whether the person stands in the middle of the rear of the vehicle or deviates to the left or right, so as to realize that when the person approaches from the rear of the vehicle, the projection lamp is lit, and when the person walks from the left to the right of the vehicle or from the right to the left, no kick recognition action is performed; in this way, the situation of accidental triggering when the person walks randomly outside the vehicle is greatly avoided.
[0030] In Fig. 5 , the human foot action sensing module includes an action sensing antenna, an action sensing chip and an action master control chip, the action sensing chip is a micro-wave action chip or a millimeter-wave action chip;
[0031] The action master control chip controls the action sensing chip to periodically scan, and after the high-frequency wave is sent out through the action sensing antenna, the speed, change rate, signal strength and azimuth angle of the human foot are calculated, and the action master control chip is returned through a mode including but not limited to a serial port, IIC and SPI;
[0032] Different from the human body position sensing module, the human foot action sensing module identifies the human foot action, and since the human foot is relatively thin and the distance changes little when the human foot performs a specified action, the data processed is not distance, but distance change detected, so as to obtain speed and change rate data and judge whether the specified action is met;
[0033] In addition, the human foot action sensing module can determine the azimuth angle of the human foot, so as to set a small azimuth angle, so that the foot action must be realized in the specified range, thereby reducing the risk of false triggering; for example, set the left and right of the sensing antenna each 10° as the detection range, generally the rear bumper of the vehicle is only 30-40 cm from the ground, assuming that the rear bumper is 30 cm from the ground, according to the triangular calculation formula, the detection range projected to the ground is about a circular area with a radius of 5 cm;
[0034] Unlike the capacitive kick and the common microwave kick, the human foot action sensing module limits the area of the human foot action, for example, it can be recognized within the marker projection range, and it is not recognized outside the projection range; the capacitive type cannot limit the sensing area too small, otherwise the sensitivity is not enough; the common microwave kick has no azimuth angle signal and cannot limit the recognition range.
[0035] In Fig. 6 In the projection lamp 5, the high-brightness LED lamp bead and the LED constant current driving chip are included, a fixed current is stably output through the LED constant current driving chip, the driving current is prevented from exceeding the maximum rated value of the high-brightness LED lamp bead, and the reliability of the high-brightness LED lamp bead is protected.
[0036] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
