[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments and drawings described herein are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0028] With the continuous development of automotive technology, the electronic and electrical architecture of vehicles now typically adopts a central computing plus regional control architecture. The regional controller usually integrates multiple sensors, actuators and various communication interfaces, and can be used to realize multiple functions such as data interaction, signal control and power distribution.
[0029] For example, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the hardware architecture of a region controller in related technologies. For example... Figure 1As shown, a region controller typically includes system modules, a minimum processor system, analog signal processing circuits, digital signal processing circuits, pulse width modulation (PWM) signal processing circuits, communication interface circuits, drive output circuits, brushless direct current motor (BLDC) drive circuits, and stepper motor drive circuits, etc.
[0030] The system module provides system power and basic hardware for the area controller. The minimum processor system can include a microcontroller unit (MCU) or a system-on-chip (SOC) processor, as well as peripheral circuitry for processor operation. Specifically, this may include a power management IC (PMIC) / system base chip (SBC), a real-time clock (RTC), an inertial measurement unit (IMU), memory, and a debug interface. The memory may include electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory (DDR), non-volatile NOR flash memory, and embedded multi-media card / universal flash storage (EMMC / UFS). The clock and inertial measurement unit can be connected to the processor via a Serial Peripheral interface (SPI) / Integrated Circuit (IC) interface. Furthermore, the processor can communicate with other microcontrollers, such as the KL30 and KL31 models.
[0031] Analog signal processing circuits can be used to acquire analog signals, for example, analog signals can be acquired from sensor 1; digital signal processing circuits can be used to acquire digital signals, for example, digital signals can be acquired from sensor 2; PWM signal processing circuits can acquire PWM signals, for example, PWM signals can be acquired from sensor 3.
[0032] Communication interface circuits can include Controller Area Network (CAN) communication, Local Interconnect Network (LIN) communication, Ethernet (ETH) communication, Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) communication, and Peripheral Sensor Interface (PSI5) communication, enabling communication with other controllers or sensors. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the processor can communicate with Electronic Control Unit (ECU) 1, ECU 2, and ECU 3 via CAN transceiver, LIN transceiver, and Ethernet Physical Layer (ETH PHY), respectively.
[0033] The drive output circuit includes high-side drive circuits, low-side drive circuits, H-bridge drive circuits (HB), relays, etc., and can be used to drive actuators. BLDC drive circuits can be used to drive BLDC motors. Stepper motor drive circuits can be used to drive stepper motors.
[0034] In related technologies, area controller hardware is usually developed and designed as a whole. However, due to different vehicle configurations, the number and type of sensors, actuators, drive interfaces, and communication interfaces will vary greatly. In order to meet the configuration requirements such as cost and structure, the area controller hardware usually needs to be redesigned and developed as a whole. This results in a long development cycle, high system cost, and poor scalability of the area controller.
[0035] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a region controller and a vehicle. The region controller includes a basic system module and multiple independent functional modules. Each independent functional module integrates hardware resources and connects to a corresponding first system connector of the basic system module via a second system connector. Thus, the independent functional modules used to implement functions in this application adopt a modular structure, rather than being integrated into the region controller. When the configuration requirements of the region controller change, independent functional modules can be added or their hardware resources modified, eliminating the need for redevelopment of the entire hardware. This shortens the development cycle of the region controller, reduces costs, and improves its scalability.
[0036] The following detailed description of the solution presented in this application is provided through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments may exist independently or in combination with each other; identical or similar content will not be repeated in different embodiments.
[0037] In this embodiment, the area controller includes a basic system module and multiple independent functional modules. The basic system module provides the foundational system for the area controller. The independent functional modules integrate hardware resources to implement the functions of the area controller.
[0038] Specifically, a system foundation module can refer to an independent functional module that provides basic system resources. For example, a system foundation module can provide hardware resources such as power supply, communication bus, and input / output (I / O) interface bus for the entire area controller system. Other independent functional modules in the area controller, besides the system foundation module, can be connected to the first system connector of the system foundation module through a second system connector.
[0039] Independent functional modules can refer to independent modules composed of hardware resources with the same or similar functions. A region controller may include multiple independent functional modules with different functions. Each independent functional module may integrate the hardware resources required to implement the corresponding function. For example, a processor module may include hardware resources such as a processor and peripheral circuits.
[0040] In the area controller provided in this application, each of the multiple independent functional modules is connected to the basic system module.
[0041] In one embodiment, independent functional modules and basic system modules can be connected via a system connector, which can be a hardware interface used to enable communication interconnection between the various independent functional modules.
[0042] In one embodiment, the basic system module is provided with multiple first system connectors, which are used to connect to corresponding multiple independent functional modules. For example, when the area controller includes three independent functional modules, the basic system module includes three first system connectors, which are used to connect to the three independent functional modules respectively.
[0043] Accordingly, the independent functional module is provided with a second system connector, which is used to connect to the corresponding first system connector in the basic system module, so that the independent functional module is connected to the basic system module.
[0044] In this way, the independent functional modules used to implement the functions in this application adopt a modular structure instead of being integrated into the area controller. When the configuration requirements of the area controller change, an independent functional module can be added or the hardware resources in the independent functional module can be changed in the area controller. Therefore, there is no need to redevelop the overall hardware, thereby shortening the development cycle of the area controller, reducing costs, and improving the scalability of the area controller.
[0045] For example, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a system basic module provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the system basic module in the area controller may include an input connector, a system power supply, and multiple first system connectors. The input connector can be used to send and receive data; the system power supply can be used for power supply, power protection, and power conversion; the first system connectors may include first system connector 1, first system connector 2, first system connector 3, ..., first system connector n. Through the first system connectors, the system basic module can be connected to other independent functional modules in the area controller.
[0046] For example, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of an independent functional module in a region controller, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the area controller may include multiple independent functional modules, such as a system basic module, a processor module, an analog signal processing module, a digital signal processing module, a communication module, and a sensor interface module. Figure 3 The system includes a processor module (not shown), a drive output module, and a motor drive module. Each independent functional module has a second system connector, which can be used to connect to the corresponding first system connector in the system base module. Specifically, the second system connector 1 in the processor module connects to the first system connector 1 in the system base module; the second system connector 2 in the analog signal processing module connects to the first system connector 2 in the system base module; the second system connector 3 in the digital signal processing module connects to the first system connector 3 in the system base module; the second system connector 4 in the communication module connects to the first system connector 4 in the system base module; the second system connector 5 in the sensor interface module connects to the first system connector 5 in the system base module; the second system connector 6 in the drive output module connects to the first system connector 6 in the system base module; and the second system connector 7 in the motor drive module connects to the first system connector 7 in the system base module.
[0047] Each independent functional module may also include an input connector for sending and receiving data. The connection method based on the system connector can correspond to the type of the independent functional module. For example, analog signal processing modules, digital signal processing modules, and sensor interface modules can use unidirectional data connections, while processor modules, communication modules, drive output modules, and motor drive modules can use bidirectional data connections.
[0048] It should be noted that the number of first system connectors in the system basic module can be greater than the number of other independent functional modules. That is, the system basic module of the area controller can reserve idle first system connectors, which can facilitate the addition of independent functional modules in the future and improve the scalability of the area controller.
[0049] In one possible implementation, the circuit boards containing the independent functional modules of the multiple independent functional modules are each plugged into the circuit board containing the system basic module to form an integrated circuit board.
[0050] In this embodiment, other independent functional modules in the area controller can be connected to the system's basic module via plug-in connections. For example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a plug-in structure for an independent functional module of a region controller, provided as an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the processor module, analog signal processing module, and communication module can be configured according to... Figure 4 The connection shown is made to the system's basic module. Other independent functional modules, not shown in the diagram, are connected in the same way. This modular plug-in structure of the area controller makes updating and upgrading individual functional modules more convenient and faster. When configuration requirements change, only the plug-in structure of specific independent functional modules needs to be adjusted, without redesigning the area controller's hardware and software, thus shortening the area controller hardware development cycle.
[0051] In one possible implementation, the area controller includes a housing, an integral circuit board formed by the circuit board containing the system base module and the circuit boards containing multiple independent functional modules, which is mounted in the housing.
[0052] In this embodiment, the outer casing can refer to the protective casing of the area controller. The overall circuit board corresponding to multiple independent functional modules within the area controller can be installed in the casing, which protects each independent functional module and ensures the safety of the area controller. Thus, in this embodiment, other independent functional modules of the area controller are plugged into the system base module, each independent functional module connector outputs its own data, and the overall circuit board is installed in the casing, which improves the scalability of the area controller while ensuring safety.
[0053] In one possible implementation, each independent functional module includes an input connector for receiving external data or outputting data.
[0054] In this embodiment, the input connector can refer to the external interface of an independent functional module, capable of receiving external data or outputting data. Each independent functional module in the area controller can include an input connector, enabling each module to independently send and receive data, ensuring the normal operation of its functions.
[0055] In one possible implementation, the independent functional module includes a processor module; the processor module includes a processor and peripheral circuitry, and the processor module can be used to control other independent functional modules in the area controller.
[0056] In this embodiment, the independent functional modules of the region controller may include a processor module, which is the "brain" of the region controller, and specifically may include a processor and peripheral circuitry. For example, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a processor module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, the processor in the processor module can be a microcontroller unit or a system-level circuit. The peripheral circuitry of the processor in the processor module may include a power management circuit (PMIC), clock, memory, debug interface, etc. The processor can connect to the system base module through the second system connector 1, specifically through SPI, Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), and Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII) for data communication. The processor can send and receive data through input connectors, specifically through general-purpose input / output (GPIO) devices.
[0057] In one possible implementation, the independent functional module includes an analog signal processing module; the analog signal processing module is connected to the processor module through the basic system module, and the processor module is used to control the analog signal processing module to process analog signals.
[0058] In this embodiment, the independent functional module of the area controller may include an analog signal processing module. This analog signal processing module can process analog signals such as analog voltage signals and analog resistance signals, and connect the processed signals to the processor module via the second system connector 2 to complete the acquisition of analog signals.
[0059] For example, Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an analog signal processing module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the analog signal processing module in the area controller includes a signal processing circuit. Analog signals such as analog voltage input signals and analog resistance input signals are input to the signal processing circuit through input connectors (such as analog input connectors). The signal processing circuit then sends the processed signals (such as analog voltage output signals) to the processor module through the second system connector 2.
[0060] In one possible implementation, the independent functional module includes a digital signal processing module; the digital signal processing module is connected to the processor module through the basic system module, and the processor module is used to control the digital signal processing module to process digital signals.
[0061] In this embodiment, the independent functional module of the area controller may include a digital signal processing module. This digital signal processing module can process digital signals such as active high signals, active low signals, and PWM signals, and connect the processed signals to the processor module via the second system connector 3 to complete the digital signal acquisition.
[0062] For example, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a digital signal processing module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, the digital signal processing module in the area controller includes a signal processing circuit. Digital signals such as digital active high signals, digital active low signals, and PWM signals are input to the signal processing circuit through the input connector. The signal processing circuit outputs the processed signals (such as digital signals, PWM signals, etc.) to the processor module through the second system connector 3.
[0063] In one possible implementation, the independent functional module includes a communication module, which is connected to the processor module via the basic system module. The processor module controls the communication module to perform communication.
[0064] In this embodiment, the independent functional module in the area controller also includes a communication module. This communication module can be used for signal conversion and communication. It may integrate a CAN transceiver, a LIN transceiver, and an Ethernet physical layer (ETH PHY), enabling it to convert CAN, LIN, and ETH data from the processor module to the CAN bus and LIN bus.
[0065] For example, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8As shown, the communication module includes a signal processing circuit, which can receive or send CAN bus data, LIN bus data, and ETH T1 data through the input connector. The signal processing circuit can receive or send various data from the processor module through the second system connector 4, which can specifically include receive data (Transmit Data, TXD), receive data (RXD), and reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) data. Figure 8 The letter 'n' in the figure can indicate that the corresponding type of data has multiple interfaces or multiple channels. The meaning of 'n' in other figures is similar, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.
[0066] In one possible implementation, the independent functional module includes a sensor interface module; the sensor interface module is connected to the processor module through the basic system module, and the processor module is used to control the sensor interface module to acquire sensor data.
[0067] In this embodiment, the independent functional module in the area controller also includes a sensor module. The sensor interface module can be used to acquire sensor data, specifically wheel speed data, etc.
[0068] For example, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a sensor interface module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, the sensor interface module of the area controller may include a sensor processing circuit. The wheel speed signal is input to the sensor processing circuit through the input connector, and the sensor processing circuit outputs a PWM signal to the processor module through the second system connector 5. The SENT signal is input to the sensor processing circuit through the input connector, and the sensor processing circuit outputs the SENT signal to the processor module through the second system connector 5. The Peripheral Sensor Interface 5 (PSI5) signal is input to the sensor processing circuit through the input connector, and the sensor processing circuit outputs an SPI signal to the processor module through the second system connector 5.
[0069] In one possible implementation, the independent functional module further includes a drive output module; the drive output module is connected to the processor module through the basic system module, and the processor module is used to control the drive output module to drive the actuator; the drive output module includes a drive circuit for driving the actuator.
[0070] In this embodiment, the independent functional module of the area controller may further include a drive output module. The drive output module may include multiple drive circuits that can be used to drive corresponding actuators.
[0071] For example, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a driver output module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, the drive output module in the area controller may include multiple drive circuits, such as a high-side switch (HSD), a low-side switch (LSD), and an H-bridge drive circuit (HB). Input / output (IO) signals sent by the processor module are input to the drive circuits via the second system connector 6. The drive circuits then output high-side drive signals, low-side drive signals, and H-bridge output signals through the input connectors.
[0072] In one possible implementation, the independent functional module further includes a motor drive module; the motor drive module is connected to the processor module through the basic system module, the processor module is used to control the motor drive module to drive the motor, and the motor drive module includes a motor drive circuit for driving stepper motors and brushless DC motors.
[0073] In this embodiment, the independent functional modules of the area controller may further include a motor drive module. The motor drive module may include multiple motor drive circuits (i.e., drivers) for driving corresponding motors, specifically stepper motors or brushless DC motors, etc.
[0074] For example, Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a motor drive module provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 As shown, the motor drive module may include multiple drivers. The IO signal and SPI signal output by the processor module are input into the driver through the second system connector 7. The driver can output BLDC drive signal to the outside through the input connector. The IO signal output by the processor module is input into the driver through the second system connector 7. The driver can output stepper motor drive signal to the outside through the input connector.
[0075] It should be noted that the above-mentioned independent functional modules in the area controller are only examples. Based on actual configuration requirements, the area controller may include more independent functional modules, and this application embodiment does not limit this.
[0076] In this embodiment, based on the vehicle model's configuration requirements, the area controller can include multiple independent functional modules through combination, thereby achieving the complete functionality of the area controller. When configuration requirements change, the hardware upgrade of the area controller can be completed by modifying the local circuits of the independent functional modules or replacing them with other models of independent functional modules. This improves the scalability of the area controller, enhances the flexibility of controller function integration, shortens the area controller hardware development cycle, reduces reserved resources, lowers system costs, reduces controller hardware costs, and allows for a smaller area controller size.

[0081] The communication module can use a 5-channel, 8-channel, or 10-channel CAN transceiver, and can also use a 3-channel or 5-channel LIN transceiver, as well as a 1-channel or 2-channel ETH transceiver. The drive output module can use a 6-channel or 8-channel HSD, and can also use an 8-channel LSD, as well as a 4-channel or 8-channel HB.

The motor drive module can use a 2-channel or 4-channel BLDC drive signal, and can also use a 2-channel stepper motor drive signal.
[0082] Of course, the independent functional modules in the area controller can also be of other types or in other combinations, and this application embodiment does not limit this.
