[0039] As Figures 1-3As shown, the utility model embodiment provides a kind of in-car reading lamp control system, this control system includes reading lamp 1, detection module 2 and control module 3, the signal output end of detection module 2 is connected with the signal input end of control module 3, the signal output end of control module 3 is connected with reading lamp 1.

[0040] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, reading lamp 1 is equipped with multiple lighting modules 11, multiple lighting modules 11 are arranged along the length direction of vehicle in reading lamp 1, and the illumination area of different lighting modules 11 is different.

[0041] Specifically, detection module 2 is used to detect the state information of slidable seat or the distance information between the face of driver or passenger and corresponding reading lamp 1; control module 3 is used to control the on-off state of each lighting module 11 of reading lamp 1 according to the state information of slidable seat or the distance information between the face of driver or passenger and corresponding reading lamp 1 detected by detection module 2, so as to adjust the illumination area of reading lamp 1 and avoid direct light irradiation to the face of driver or passenger.

[0042] The working principle of in-car reading lamp control system of the embodiment is as follows:

[0043] By setting reading lamp 1 to include multiple lighting modules 11 with different illumination areas arranged along the length direction of vehicle, and setting detection module 2 to detect the state information of slidable seat or the distance information between the face of driver or passenger and corresponding reading lamp 1, the on-off state of each lighting module 11 is set corresponding to the state information of slidable seat or the distance information between the face of driver or passenger and corresponding reading lamp 1; when the system works, detection module 2 detects the state information of slidable seat or the distance information between the face of driver or passenger and corresponding reading lamp 1 and sends it to control module 3; control module 3 controls the on-off state of each lighting module 11 of reading lamp 1 according to the state information of slidable seat or the distance information between the face of driver or passenger and corresponding reading lamp 1 detected by detection module 2 to adjust the illumination area of reading lamp 1 and avoid direct light irradiation to the face of driver or passenger.

[0044] The in-car reading lamp control system of the embodiment can adjust the illumination area of reading lamp 1 by controlling the on-off state of each lighting module 11 of reading lamp 1 according to the state information of slidable seat or the distance information between the face of driver or passenger and corresponding reading lamp 1, which can realize intelligent adjustment of the illumination area of in-car reading lamp 1, effectively avoid direct light irradiation to the face of driver or passenger, and improve the comfort of user.

[0045] Specifically, in the embodiment, reading lamp 1 can be the reading lamp 1 of first-row seat of car, or the reading lamp 1 of second-row seat or other seat after second-row seat of car.

[0046] As Figure 1 shown in one embodiment, the state information of the slidable seat includes the current position gear of the slidable seat,

[0047] Correspondingly, the detection module 2 includes a position detection sensor 21 for detecting the current position gear of the slidable seat, and the signal output end of the position detection sensor 21 is connected with the signal input end of the control module 3.

[0048] In this embodiment, the detection module 2 adopts the position detection sensor 21 to detect the current position gear of the slidable seat, so as to control the on-off state of each lighting module 11 of the reading lamp 1 according to the different position gears of the slidable seat, thereby adjusting the lighting area of the reading lamp 1 and avoiding the direct light irradiation to the face of the driver or passenger.

[0049] Specifically, on the basis of the previous embodiment, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the position detection sensor 21 includes a plurality of proximity switches 211 uniformly and evenly arranged on the slide rail of the slidable seat, and each proximity switch 211 corresponds to a position gear, and the signal output ends of the plurality of proximity switches 211 are respectively connected with the signal input ends of the control module 3.

[0050] By arranging a plurality of proximity switches 211 uniformly and evenly on the slide rail of the slidable seat to respectively detect the different position gears of the slidable seat, when the slidable seat slides to a certain position, the corresponding proximity switch 211 on the position gear is turned on to send a corresponding position gear signal to the control module 3, and the control module 3 controls the corresponding lighting module 11 of the reading lamp 1 to be turned on according to the position gear signal.

[0051] Specifically, the number of position gears can be consistent with the number of lighting modules 11, for example, as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the reading lamp 1 comprises a shell 12 and five lighting modules 11 (first to fifth lighting modules 11 from back to front along the length direction of the vehicle) arranged uniformly in the shell 12 along the length direction of the vehicle, each lighting module 11 is connected with the signal output end of the control module 3, and the control module 3 can control the opening and closing of each lighting module 11. Five proximity switches 211 (first to fifth proximity switches 211 from back to front along the length direction of the vehicle) are arranged uniformly on the track of the slidable seat to detect the position gears (first to fifth gears from back to front along the length direction of the vehicle) of the first to fifth gears of the slidable seat. When the first proximity switch 211 detects that the slidable seat is located at the position gear of the first gear (the slidable seat is located at the limit position of backward sliding), all the lighting modules 11 are turned on; when the slidable seat slides forward from the limit position of backward sliding, and the second proximity switch 211 detects that the slidable seat is located at the position gear of the second gear, it indicates that the slidable seat is closer to the reading lamp 1, in order to avoid the light from shining on the face of the driver and passenger and affecting the comfort of the driver and passenger, the first lighting module 11 is turned off, and the second to fifth lighting modules 11 are turned on, so that the lighting area of the reading lamp 1 is reduced; when the slidable seat continues to slide forward from back to front to the third position gear, the third proximity switch 211 is connected, then the first and second lighting modules 11 are turned off, and the third to fifth lighting modules 11 are turned on, so that the lighting area of the reading lamp 1 is further reduced, and so on; when the slidable seat slides forward from back to front to the limit position of forward sliding, the fifth proximity switch 211 is connected, then the first to fourth lighting modules 11 are turned off, and only the fifth lighting module 11 is turned on.

[0052] As shown in the Figure 2 embodiment, the position detection sensor 21 comprises an infrared emitter 212 arranged on the slidable seat and a plurality of infrared receivers 213 arranged uniformly on the slide rail of the slidable seat, the position of each infrared receiver 213 corresponds to a position gear, and the signal output ends of the plurality of infrared receivers 213 are connected with the signal input end of the control module 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, the detection module 2 adopts a combination of an infrared emitter 212 and a plurality of infrared receivers 213, the infrared emitter 212 is arranged on the slidable seat, and the plurality of infrared receivers 213 are arranged uniformly on the slide rail of the slidable seat; when a certain infrared receiver 213 receives an infrared signal, it sends a corresponding position gear signal to the control module 3, and the current position gear of the slidable seat is detected through the cooperation of the infrared emitter 212 and the infrared receiver 213.

[0054] It should be noted that the detection method of the position gear in this embodiment is different from that of the Figure 1The above embodiment is different from the previous embodiment, but the control logic can be the same as the previous embodiment, and thus the description of the control logic thereof will not be repeated here.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 In one embodiment, the state information of the slidable seat further includes the orientation of the preceding row of seats corresponding to the seat of the reading lamp 1,

[0056] Correspondingly, the detection module 2 further includes a seat orientation detection sensor 22 for detecting the orientation of the preceding row of seats corresponding to the seat of the reading lamp 1, and the signal output end of the seat orientation detection sensor 22 is connected with the signal input end of the control module 3.

[0057] It should be noted that the present embodiment is applicable to the control of the reading lamp 1 of the other rows of seats except the first seat of the vehicle having the seats rotatable 180 degrees forward and backward. For example, when the reading lamp 1 is the reading lamp 1 of the second row of seats, the preceding row of seats (the first row of seats) corresponding to the seat (the second row of seats) of the reading lamp 1 can be rotatable 180 degrees forward and backward, i.e., the preceding row of seats can be oriented to the front of the vehicle or to the rear of the vehicle by rotation.

[0058] On the basis of the above embodiments, in the present embodiment, the detection module 2 detects the seat orientation of the preceding row of seats corresponding to the seat of the reading lamp 1 by setting the seat orientation detection sensor 22, and then controls the on-off state of each illumination module 11 of the reading lamp 1 according to the detected seat orientation, so as to adjust the illumination area of the reading lamp 1 and avoid the direct illumination of the light to the face of the driver or passenger.

[0059] For example, when the seat orientation detection sensor 22 arranged under the first row of seats detects that the first row of seats is oriented to the rear by rotating 180 degrees from the normal state (at this time, the first row of seats and the second row of seats are oriented oppositely), in order to avoid the direct illumination of the light of the reading lamp 1 of the second row of seats to the face of the driver or passenger, one or more illumination modules 11 in the front of the reading lamp 1 of the second row of seats can be controlled to be turned off, and the other illumination modules 11 are turned on according to the position gear of the second row of seats.

[0060] Specifically, the seat orientation detection sensor 22 can adopt a proximity sensor, which can be arranged under the seat. When the seat is rotated 180 degrees in the forward and backward directions from the normal use state, the proximity sensor is turned on and sends a seat orientation signal to the control module 3.

[0061] As shown in Figure 3As shown, in yet another embodiment, the detection module 2 comprises a vision sensor 23 for detecting distance information between the face of the occupant and the corresponding reading lamp 1, the vision sensor 23 is arranged on the reading lamp 1, and a signal output end of the vision sensor 23 is connected with a signal input end of the control module 3.

[0062] Since the occupant sitting on the seat can have different postures such as leaning forward and leaning back, and the distance between the face of the occupant and the reading lamp 1 will change under different postures, the light can directly irradiate the face of the occupant during the change of the posture of the occupant. In the embodiment, the detection module 2 adopts the vision sensor 23 to detect the distance information between the face of the occupant and the corresponding reading lamp 1, so as to control the on-off state of each lighting module 11 of the reading lamp 1 according to different position gears of the slidable seat, thereby intelligently and humanly adjusting the lighting area of the reading lamp 1 and avoiding the light directly irradiating the face of the occupant.

[0063] Specifically, a minimum distance threshold and a maximum distance threshold can be set, and a plurality of distance gears are set between the minimum distance threshold and the maximum distance threshold. When the distance between the face of the occupant and the reading lamp 1 is greater than the maximum distance threshold, all the lighting modules 11 of the reading lamp 1 are turned on. When the distance between the face of the occupant and the reading lamp 1 is less than the minimum distance threshold, all the lighting modules 11 of the reading lamp 1 are turned off. When the distance between the face of the occupant and the reading lamp 1 is between the minimum distance threshold and the maximum distance threshold, the corresponding lighting module 11 is controlled to be turned on according to the distance gear corresponding to the distance between the face of the occupant and the reading lamp 1.

[0064] It should be noted that the technology of detecting the distance information between the face of the user and the target point by the vision sensor 23 belongs to mature prior art. For example, the face of a person is detected by the vision sensor 23, and the key points of the face are determined, and then the distance between the key points of the face and the vision sensor 23 is measured by using a distance algorithm, so as to obtain the distance information between the face of the user and the target point. The specific detection and measurement process belongs to prior art, and will not be described here.

[0065] Specifically, in the above format example, the lighting module 11 comprises one or more LED lamp beads. When the lighting module 11 comprises a plurality of LED lamp beads, the plurality of LED lamp beads of the lighting module 11 are controlled to be synchronously turned on or synchronously turned off by the same control signal.

[0066] Specifically, in each of the above examples, the control module 3 can adopt an OHC controller. The OHC (Over Head Console) controller is a top control terminal system used in the interior of a car, which can be used for controlling the light in the car.

[0067] The utility model embodiment further provides an automobile comprising the in-vehicle reading lamp control system in any one of the above embodiments.

[0068] The bicycle in the embodiment has the same working principle and technical effects as the in-vehicle reading lamp control system in the above embodiment, and will not be described here again.

[0069] The embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. For the device disclosed in the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the related parts can be referred to the method part.
