Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a control device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of vehicles, vehicle technology is constantly being updated. Vehicle technology is quite complex, with key technologies including vehicle control technology, which can be further divided into braking control technology, throttle control technology, and so on. These technologies typically involve related control devices, most of which are simple switch-signal type devices. These control devices have simple control methods, mainly through stepped transmission (such as mechanical transmission), which suffers from issues such as inconsistent and unsmooth control and low control precision, thus reducing the driving experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing methods by proposing a control device and vehicle to solve the technical problems of unsmooth control jumps and low control precision, which reduce the driving experience.

[0004] In the first aspect, this utility model provides a control device, including a base, a movable block, a trigger switch, and a gradient sensor; The movable block is movably mounted on the base, and the trigger switch is located on the movable path of the movable block; The base is provided with a mounting position. The gradient sensor includes a sensing element and a trigger element. One of the sensing element and the trigger element is provided on the movable block, and the other of the two is provided on the mounting position. The sensing element is connected to the trigger switch. As the movable block moves closer to or further away from the mounting position, it continuously triggers the trigger switch. After the trigger switch activates the sensor, the distance between the sensor and the trigger increases or decreases, thereby strengthening or weakening the sensing signal of the sensor.

[0005] Optionally, the sensing element is a Hall switch, and the trigger element is a magnet.

[0006] Optionally, the trigger switch is a tactile switch.

[0007] Optionally, a torsion spring may also be included; The movable block includes a rotating plate, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the base; one end of the torsion spring acts on the base, and the other end acts on the rotating plate; and the trigger switch is mounted on the base. An external force is applied to the rotating plate, reducing the angle between the rotating plate and the base and compressing the torsion spring. The rotating plate then acts on the trigger switch to activate the sensing element.

[0008] Optionally, the rotating plate is provided with an arc-shaped surface, which extends away from the rotation center axis of the rotating plate and the curvature gradually increases; The end of the arc-shaped surface closest to the rotation center axis of the rotating plate is defined as the starting end, and the other end is defined as the ending end. When an external force is applied to the rotating plate, the angle between the rotating plate and the base decreases and the torsion spring is compressed. During this process, the trigger switch rotates with the rotating plate, and the arc-shaped surface continuously acts on the trigger switch from the starting end to the ending end.

[0009] Optionally, the trigger is disposed on the rotating plate, and the sensor is disposed on the base.

[0010] Optionally, a surrounding plate is provided around the base, and a cavity is formed between the surrounding plates, with the trigger switch and the gradient sensor located in the cavity; The movable block also includes a guide plate, which is disposed on the rotating plate and inserted into the surrounding cavity; When the rotating plate rotates toward the base to reduce the angle between the rotating plate and the base, the guide plate moves into the cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the movable block further includes a travel baffle, and an abutment block is provided in the surrounding cavity; The travel baffle is disposed on the guide plate and located in the cavity. An external force is applied to the rotating plate to drive the guide plate to move into the cavity. When the trigger switch is applied to the terminal end, the travel baffle acts on the abutment block to stop the rotating plate from moving towards the base.

[0012] Secondly, this utility model embodiment provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body, a braking system and an accelerator system disposed on the vehicle body, and the control device, wherein the braking system is connected to the control device, and the control device is used to control the braking system; And / or, the throttle system is connected to the control device, which is used to control the throttle system.

[0013] The beneficial technical effects brought about by the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment include: First, this invention achieves stepless control through a gradient sensor. Stepless control enables minute-level control, improving both the precision and smoothness of control.

[0014] In addition, by controlling the opening and closing of the sensor 41 through the trigger switch 30, the self-sensing problem of the sensor and the trigger can be avoided, the situation of the vehicle starting without operation can be avoided, the problem of runaway can be avoided, and the safety of stepless control can be improved.

It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have the same meaning as in the context of the prior art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless specifically defined as herein.

It should be further understood that the term “comprising” as used in this specification means the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0020] The present invention provides a control device and a vehicle, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model and how the technical solution of this utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments.

[0022] This utility model provides a control device and a vehicle product, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, it includes: The system comprises a base 10, a movable block 20, a trigger switch 30, and a gradient sensor 40. The movable block 20 is movably mounted on the base 10, and the trigger switch 30 is positioned along the movement path of the movable block 20. A mounting position is provided on the base 10. The gradient sensor 40 includes a sensing element 41 and a trigger element 42. One of the sensing element 41 and the trigger element 42 is mounted on the movable block 20, and the other is mounted on the mounting position. The sensing element 41 is connected to the trigger switch 30. During the movement of the movable block 20 towards or away from the mounting position, the trigger switch 30 is continuously triggered. After the trigger switch 30 activates the sensing element 41, the distance between the sensing element 41 and the trigger element 42 decreases or increases, thereby increasing or decreasing the sensing signal of the sensing element 41.

[0023] In this embodiment, the stepless control effect is achieved through the gradient sensor 40 (for example, a control system that can continuously obtain any transmission ratio within the speed range). Stepless control can achieve micro-level control, improving control precision. Furthermore, the sensor 41 only senses the trigger element 42 after the trigger switch 30 activates the sensor 41, preventing situations where the moving block 20 is not operated but the gradient sensor 40 senses the sensor automatically. This prevents uncontrolled problems caused by self-excitation of control and improves the safety of stepless control.

[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of external force, this is the initial state of the active block 20. The active block 20 does not interact with the trigger switch 30, so the trigger switch 30 is not triggered. After an external force is applied to the active block 20, the active block 20 enters the active path and acts on the trigger switch 30.

[0025] Optionally, the sensing element 41 is a Hall switch, and the trigger element 42 is a magnet.

[0026] It is understandable that the closer the Hall switch is to the magnet, the stronger the induced magnetic field and the stronger the induced signal; conversely, the further away from the magnet, the weaker the signal. This embodiment uses a Hall switch and a magnet for gradual control, resulting in a simple overall structure and good sensing performance.

[0027] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the sensing element 41 can be a receiver and the trigger element 42 can be an infrared transmitter. The closer the two are, the shorter the reception time, and vice versa.

[0028] Optionally, the trigger switch 30 is a tactile switch. As is known from the prior art, a tactile switch is triggered when its contacts are subjected to external forces, and it has the characteristic of being highly sensitive to triggering.

[0029] Optionally, it also includes a torsion spring 50; the movable block 20 includes a rotating plate 21, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the base 10, one end of the torsion spring 50 acts on the base 10, and the other end acts on the rotating plate 21, and a trigger switch is mounted on the base 10; an external force acts on the rotating plate 21, the angle between the rotating plate 21 and the base 10 decreases and the torsion spring 50 is compressed, and the rotating plate 21 acts on the trigger switch to activate the sensing element 41.

[0030] Specifically, the lower end of the rotating plate 21 is provided with a hinge shaft, which serves as a hinge to one end of the base 10. The space between the rotating plates forms an acute angle, and a torsion spring 50 is disposed between the rotating plate 21 and the base 10 to provide spatial support for both. Preferably, the rotating plate 21 and the base 10 are each provided with a first slot, and the two ends of the torsion spring 50 are respectively engaged in the two first slots, thereby forming a reliable connection.

[0031] For example, consider the initial state of the rotating plate 21 in its natural state with the torsion spring 50, at which point the included angle between the rotating plates 21 is at its maximum. When an external force is applied to the rotating plate 21, it moves towards the base 10, thus its trajectory is an arc. Preferably, the tactile switch is positioned on the base 10 near the hinge axis, and the projection of the rotating plate 21 onto the base 10 covers the tactile switch. The rotating plate 21 begins to act on the tactile switch after rotating a small angle, until it reaches a specific angle. During this process, the tactile switch remains triggered, the Hall switch remains open, and as the magnet gradually approaches, the signal sensed by the Hall switch gradually strengthens, increasing the control intensity.

[0032] In addition, during the process of the angle decreasing, the torsion spring 50 is compressed. After the external force on the rotating plate 21 is removed, the torsion spring 50 is released and pushes the rotating plate 21 back to its original position, thereby restoring it to its initial state.

[0033] Optionally, combined Figure 3 An arc-shaped surface 210 is provided on the rotating plate 21. The arc-shaped surface 210 extends away from the rotation center axis of the rotating plate 21 and the curvature gradually increases. The end of the arc-shaped surface 210 near the rotation center axis of the rotating plate 21 is defined as the starting end and the other end as the ending end. When an external force is applied to the rotating plate 21, the angle between the rotating plate 21 and the base 10 decreases and the torsion spring 50 is compressed. During this process, the trigger switch 30 rotates with the rotating plate 21. The arc-shaped surface 210 continuously acts on the trigger switch 30 from the starting end to the ending end.

[0034] As described above, the movement trajectory of the rotating plate 21 is an arc. To allow the rotating plate 21 to have a larger rotation angle, this embodiment provides an arc-shaped surface 210 on the side (inner side) of the rotating plate 21 near the base 10. Specifically, the rotating plate 21 is provided with a gradient protrusion, and the arc-shaped surface 210 is located on the side of the gradient protrusion near the base 10. As mentioned above, the thickness of the arc-shaped surface 210 that mates with the gradient protrusion gradually decreases from the bottom end to the top end of the rotating plate 21. Furthermore, the arc-shaped surface 210 is located near the hinge axis, with the end of the rotating plate 21 with greater thickness being the starting end and the end with less thickness being the ending end.

[0035] In the above, the increased curvature of the arc surface 210 enables the contact of the tactile switch to be squeezed with the minimum amount of force while acting on the tactile switch, avoiding premature bottoming out of the contact, thereby maximizing the rotation angle of the rotating plate 21 and widening the control range of the stepless control.

[0036] Alternatively, if the arcuate surface 210 is provided on the base 10, then, in the opposite direction from the base 10 near the hinge axis away from the hinge axis, the thickness of the mating arcuate surface 210 of the gradient protrusion gradually increases, which will not be elaborated here.

[0037] Optionally, the trigger 42 is disposed on the rotating plate 21, and the sensing element 41 is disposed on the base 10.

[0038] For example, the aforementioned trigger 42 is a magnet, and the sensing element 41 is a Hall switch. In this embodiment, a second slot 211 is provided on the inner side of the rotating plate 21 near the hinge shaft. The magnet is embedded in the second slot 211, and the Hall switch is located below the magnet. When the angle between the rotating plate 21 and the base 10 decreases, it indicates that the magnet is moving closer to the Hall switch, and vice versa. In other embodiments, the trigger 42 is disposed on the base 10 and the sensing element 41 is disposed on the rotating plate 21. This arrangement has only position adjustment, but the principle remains the same, and will not be described again here.

[0039] Optionally, a surrounding plate 60 is provided around the base 10, and a cavity is formed between the surrounding plates 60. The trigger switch 30 and the gradual sensor 40 are located in the cavity. The movable block 20 also includes a guide plate 22, which is disposed on the rotating plate 21 and inserted into the cavity. When the rotating plate 21 rotates toward the base 10 to reduce the angle between the rotating plate 21 and the base 10, the guide plate 22 moves into the cavity.

[0040] For example, the base 10 has a four-sided structure. Except for the side hinged to the rotating plate 21, the other three sides of the base 10 are provided with surrounding plates 60, but the rotating plate 21 is located outside the surrounding cavity. Preferably, the outer wall of the guide plate 22 is arc-shaped, wherein the inner wall of the surrounding plate 60 away from the hinge axis is adapted to the outer wall of the guide plate 22. In the initial state, the outer wall of the guide plate 22 and the inner wall of the surrounding plate 60 away from the hinge axis are either closed or have a small gap. Thus, when the angle between the rotating plate 21 and the base 10 decreases, the surrounding cavity of the guide plate 22 restricts and guides movement, preventing the rotating plate 21 from swinging.

[0041] More preferably, side baffles 70 are provided on both sides of the guide plate 22. The side baffles 70 are inserted into the cavity and are located inside the two side walls 60 respectively. The side baffles 70, like the guide plate 22, activate the limiting and guiding function. It should be noted that the guide plate 22 and the side baffles 70 will not interfere with other components during the process of the angle between the rotating plate 21 and the base 10 decreasing.

[0042] Optionally, the movable block 20 also includes a travel baffle 23, and an abutment block is provided in the cavity. The travel baffle 23 is provided on the guide plate 22 and located in the cavity. An external force is applied to the rotating plate 21 to drive the guide plate 22 to move into the cavity. When the trigger switch 30 is applied at the end, the travel baffle 23 acts on the abutment block to stop the rotating plate 21 from moving towards the base 10.

[0043] Based on the foregoing, the rotation angle of the rotating plate 21 should be limited by the length of the arc surface 210. That is, when the tactile switch is applied to the terminal end, the rotating plate 21 should stop rotating towards the base 10 to prevent the tactile switch from disengaging from the arc surface 210 and causing the sensor 41 to close. Closing the sensor 41 would cause control failure. Therefore, in this embodiment, the travel baffle 23 acts on the abutment block (not shown) to prevent the rotating plate 21 from rotating excessively towards the base 10.

[0044] Alternatively, the aforementioned control device can be used for foot pedal operation, in which case a foot pedal 80 is fitted on the outside of the rotating plate 21, and further, the foot pedal 80 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 81 on the side for foot pedaling.

[0045] Extending this further, the aforementioned example of the movable block 20 being a rotating plate 21 has an arc-shaped motion trajectory. In other embodiments, the movable block 20 is slidably disposed on the base 10, thereby allowing the motion trajectory to be selected as a straight trajectory. What is special about this embodiment is that the trigger switch 30 is disposed on one side of the straight trajectory, so the trigger part (which can be understood as the aforementioned contact) is located in the straight trajectory for triggering. The gradient sensor 40 is also not particularly limited, and it can achieve movement that moves closer or further away from each other.

[0046] Based on the same utility model concept, a vehicle includes a vehicle body, a braking system and an accelerator system disposed on the vehicle body, and a control device as described above, wherein the braking system is connected to the control device, and the control device is used to control the braking system; and / or, the accelerator system is connected to the control device, and the control device is used to control the accelerator system.

[0047] By combining the aforementioned control devices to achieve stepless control, the vehicle's accelerator or brake can be steplessly controlled, enabling seamless speed transitions under precise control and improving the driving experience. Furthermore, this vehicle's accelerator or brake pedal system features both a touch switch and a Hall effect switch for dual protection, preventing the vehicle from starting and moving without pressing the pedal, avoiding runaway acceleration, and mitigating driving risks.

[0048] The main solution in this embodiment is that the control device can be used to control the accelerator or brake of the vehicle. According to the prior art, the control logic is: the stronger the sensing signal, the greater the throttle input, or the stronger the sensing signal, the greater the braking resistance, and vice versa. This will not be elaborated here.
