Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicles, specifically relating to a parking control system and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, vehicles have become a common means of transportation for people's daily travel. During vehicle use, parking is usually required. Related technologies include an Electronic Park Brake (EPB) system, which consists of an EPB controller. By electrically connecting the parking switch to the EPB controller, the parking switch sends a command to the controller, causing it to control the electronic calipers to achieve parking. Additionally, vehicles also have a brake controller, electrically connected to the brake pedal. While the vehicle is in motion, the user presses the brake pedal, sending a braking signal to the brake controller to apply the brakes. This setup results in multiple controllers in the vehicle, which is not conducive to reducing vehicle costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a parking control system and vehicle, which at least solves the problem that having too many controllers in a vehicle is not conducive to reducing vehicle costs.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a parking control system, which includes: a brake controller, a parking switch assembly, and an electronic caliper assembly; The parking switch assembly and the electronic caliper assembly are both electrically connected to the brake controller. The brake controller is used to respond to signals from the vehicle's service brake assembly to brake the vehicle, and / or to respond to signals from the parking switch assembly to park the vehicle so that the electronic caliper assembly is in a clamped state.

[0005] Optionally, the parking switch assembly includes a parking soft switch and a parking hard switch, and the brake controller includes a main control unit and a slave control unit that are coupled to each other; The parking soft switch is communicatively connected to both the main control unit and the slave control unit, the parking hard switch is communicatively connected to the main control unit, and the service brake assembly is communicatively connected to both the main control unit and the slave control unit.

[0006] Optionally, the parking soft switch is communicatively connected to at least one of the main control unit and the slave control unit, and / or the parking hard switch is communicatively connected to at least one of the main control unit and the slave control unit; The service braking assembly is communicatively connected to both the main control unit and the slave control unit.

[0007] Optionally, if the parking hard switch fails, the parking soft switch is normal, the main control unit is normal, and the slave control unit fails, the parking soft switch is communicatively connected to the main control unit.

[0008] Optionally, if the parking hard switch fails, the parking soft switch is normal, the slave control unit is normal, and the master control unit fails, the parking soft switch is communicatively connected to the slave control unit.

[0009] Optionally, if the parking hard switch is normal, the parking soft switch is faulty, the main control unit is normal, and the slave control unit is faulty, the parking hard switch is communicatively connected to the main control unit.

[0010] Optionally, if the parking hard switch is normal, the parking soft switch is faulty, the slave control unit is normal, and the master control unit is faulty, the parking hard switch is communicatively connected to the master control unit.

[0011] Optionally, the parking control system further includes a vehicle controller, wherein the parking hard switch, the parking soft switch, the main control unit, and the slave control unit are all electrically connected to the vehicle controller; If at least one of the parking hard switch, the parking soft switch, the main control unit, and the slave control unit fails, the vehicle controller issues a fault warning message.

[0012] Optionally, the parking control system includes intelligent driver assistance equipment, a vehicle controller, and a display screen; At least one of the intelligent driver assistance device, the vehicle controller, and the display screen integrates the parking soft switch.

[0013] Optionally, the parking switch is a control button, which is located in the driver's cabin of the vehicle.

[0014] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle that includes the parking control system described in any of the first aspects above.

[0015] In this embodiment, both the parking switch assembly and the electronic caliper assembly are electrically connected to the brake controller. Therefore, the parking switch assembly can send a parking signal to the brake controller, causing the brake controller to control the electronic caliper assembly to perform corresponding operations. Specifically, when the parking switch assembly is triggered, it sends a parking signal to the brake controller, indicating that the vehicle needs to be parked. The brake controller can also control the electronic caliper assembly to be in a clamped state, thereby increasing the resistance to wheel rotation and achieving vehicle parking. In other words, in this embodiment, by electrically connecting the parking switch assembly to the brake controller, and the brake controller to the electronic caliper assembly, the function of the electronic parking controller is essentially integrated into the brake controller, i.e., the function of the EPB controller is integrated into the brake controller, thereby achieving vehicle parking. This saves on the EPB controller, meaning the vehicle no longer needs an EPB controller, reducing the number of controllers and thus lowering vehicle costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the parking control system includes: a brake controller 10, a parking switch assembly 30, and an electronic caliper assembly 40.

[0022] The parking switch assembly 30 and the electronic caliper assembly 40 are both electrically connected to the brake controller 10. The brake controller 10 is used to brake the vehicle in response to a signal from the vehicle's service brake assembly 20, and / or to park the vehicle in response to a signal from the parking switch assembly 30, so that the electronic caliper assembly 40 is in a clamped state.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the parking switch assembly 30 is triggered, the parking switch assembly 30 sends a parking signal to the brake controller 10, and the brake controller 10 controls the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state.

[0024] In this embodiment, both the parking switch assembly 30 and the electronic caliper assembly 40 are electrically connected to the brake controller 10. Therefore, the parking switch assembly 30 can also send a parking signal to the brake controller 10, causing the brake controller 10 to control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to perform corresponding operations. Specifically, when the parking switch assembly 30 is triggered, it sends a parking signal to the brake controller 10, indicating that the vehicle needs to be parked. The brake controller 10 can then control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state, thereby increasing the resistance to wheel rotation and parking the vehicle. Additionally, the brake controller 10 can also respond to signals from the vehicle's service brake assembly 20 to brake the vehicle, thus diversifying the functions of the brake controller 10. In other words, in this embodiment of the application, by electrically connecting the parking switch assembly 30 to the brake controller 10, and the brake controller 10 to the electronic caliper assembly 40, the function of the electronic parking controller is essentially integrated into the brake controller 10, that is, the function of the EPB controller is integrated into the brake controller 10, thereby realizing the parking of the vehicle, which can save the EPB controller, that is, the EPB controller is no longer used in the vehicle, reducing the number of controllers in the vehicle, and thus helping to reduce the cost of the vehicle.

[0025] It should be noted that when the electronic caliper assembly 40 is in the clamping state, the electronic caliper assembly 40 can apply force to the vehicle's wheels, that is, the electronic caliper assembly 40 clamps the vehicle's wheels, which increases the resistance to wheel rotation, thereby reducing the vehicle's speed or parking the vehicle.

[0026] Additionally, the parking control system may also include a service brake assembly 20, which is connected to a brake controller 10. The brake controller 10 can respond to the service brake assembly 20, causing it to control the service brake assembly 20 to perform corresponding operations. Specifically, the service brake assembly 20 includes a hydraulic module, a brake pedal, and a brake pedal travel sensor. When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake pedal travel sensor transmits a signal to the brake controller 10. The brake controller 10 controls the hydraulic module based on the signal from the brake pedal travel sensor. The hydraulic module then controls the hydraulic pumps in the brake assemblies of all the vehicle's wheels, causing the brake assemblies to brake the wheels, thereby applying service brakes to the vehicle. Each wheel of the vehicle is equipped with a brake assembly, which is connected to the hydraulic module. When the vehicle has four wheels, when the brake pedal is depressed, the brake assemblies of all four wheels brake all four wheels simultaneously.

[0027] Additionally, when the vehicle has four wheels, the two rear wheels can be equipped with electronic caliper assemblies 40. When parking is required, the electronic caliper assemblies 40 on the two rear wheels brake the two rear wheels to achieve parking. The electronic caliper assembly 40 includes a parking motor and electronic calipers. The parking motor drives the electronic calipers to brake the rear wheels, thus achieving parking.

[0028] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the parking switch assembly 30 includes a parking soft switch 31 and a parking hard switch 32, and the brake controller 10 includes a main control unit 11 and a slave control unit 12 coupled to each other; the parking soft switch 31 is communicatively connected to at least one of the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12, and / or, the parking hard switch 32 is communicatively connected to at least one of the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12; the service brake assembly 20 is communicatively connected to the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 respectively.

[0029] Since the parking soft switch 31 is communicatively connected to at least one of the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12, it can send a parking signal to both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12, causing one of them to control the electronic caliper assembly 40 in a clamped state. Furthermore, the setup of the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 effectively achieves safety redundancy; that is, if the main control unit 11 fails, the slave control unit 12 can operate to perform parking, and if the slave control unit 12 fails, the main control unit 11 can operate to perform parking. Additionally, the parking hard switch 32 is communicatively connected to at least one of the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12, and therefore, it can send a parking signal to both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12, causing one of them to control the electronic caliper assembly 40 in a clamped state. Furthermore, the service brake assembly 20 is communicatively connected to both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12. Therefore, once the service brake assembly 20 is pressed, it can send braking signals to both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12, causing one of them to control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to clamp and brake the vehicle. Additionally, by providing a parking hard switch 32 and a parking soft switch 31, the user can choose the specific switch for parking. The parking hard switch 32 and parking soft switch 31 provide safety redundancy; if the parking hard switch 32 fails, parking can be initiated using the parking soft switch 31, and vice versa. In short, by providing the parking hard switch 32, parking soft switch 31, main control unit 11, and slave control unit 12, safety redundancy is achieved while ensuring the vehicle can brake or park, thus improving vehicle safety during use.

[0030] It should be noted that the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 can be chips with control functions. The main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 can be the two original chips of the brake controller 10. Through programming, the two chips in the brake controller 10 can be made to have parking functions, which is equivalent to integrating the parking function of the EPB controller into the brake controller 10. The EPB controller is no longer used in the vehicle's hardware structure, thus saving the EPB controller and reducing the cost of the vehicle.

[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, the parking hard switch 32 can be communicated with the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 via a CAN bus, and the parking soft switch 31 can also be communicated with the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 via a CAN bus. The service brake assembly 20 can also be communicated with the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 via a CAN bus.

[0032] In addition, in this embodiment, the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 are coupled to each other, so that the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 can acquire signals from each other and can detect each other to determine whether the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 have failed.

[0033] Additionally, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the parking hard switch 32 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is normal, the main control unit 11 is normal, and the slave control unit 12 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is connected to the main control unit 11.

[0034] Specifically, when the parking hard switch 32 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is normal, and the main control unit 11 is normal, if the slave control unit 12 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is connected to the main control unit 11. The user can send a parking signal to the main control unit 11 through the parking soft switch 31, and the main control unit 11 can then control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamping state, thereby enabling the vehicle to be parked.

[0035] If the control unit 12 is not malfunctioning, the parking soft switch 31 can also communicate with the control unit 12. In this case, it is equivalent to the parking soft switch 31 communicating with both the main control unit 11 and the control unit 12. The user can operate the parking soft switch 31 to send parking signals to both the main control unit 11 and the control unit 12. However, the main control unit 11 controls the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state, that is, the main control unit 11 performs parking control. This means that when both the main control unit 11 and the control unit 12 are normal, the main control unit 11 can perform parking control first.

[0036] Of course, in this embodiment, when both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 are normal, the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 can also perform parking control simultaneously.

[0037] Additionally, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the parking hard switch 32 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is normal, the slave control unit 12 is normal, and the main control unit 11 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is connected to the slave control unit 12.

[0038] Specifically, when the parking hard switch 32 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is normal, and the slave control unit 12 is normal, if the main control unit 11 fails, the parking soft switch 31 is connected to the slave control unit 12. The user can send a parking signal to the slave control unit 12 through the parking soft switch 31, and the slave control unit 12 can then control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamping state, thereby enabling the vehicle to be parked.

[0039] If the main control unit 11 is not faulty, the parking soft switch 31 can also communicate with the main control unit 11. This means the parking soft switch 31 is connected to both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12. The user can operate the parking soft switch 31 to send a parking signal to the slave control unit 12. The main control unit 11 receives the parking signal from the slave control unit 12 and controls the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state. Alternatively, when the slave control unit 12 receives the parking signal, it can also control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state, thus achieving parking. In other words, when both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12 are functioning correctly, the slave control unit 12 can control the electronic caliper assembly 40, and the main control unit 11 can also control the electronic caliper assembly 40. If the main control unit 11 fails, the slave control unit 12 controls the electronic caliper assembly 40, achieving safety redundancy.

[0040] Additionally, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the parking hard switch 32 is normal, the parking soft switch 31 is malfunctioning, and the main control unit 11 is normal while the slave control unit 12 is malfunctioning, the parking hard switch 32 is in communication connection with the main control unit 11.

[0041] Specifically, when the parking hard switch 32 is normal, the parking soft switch 31 is malfunctioning, and the main control unit 11 is normal, if the slave control unit 12 fails, the parking hard switch 32 is connected to the main control unit 11. The user can operate the parking hard switch 32 to send a parking signal to the main control unit 11. The main control unit 11 can then control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamping state, thereby enabling the vehicle to be parked.

[0042] If the control unit 12 is not malfunctioning, the parking hard switch 32 can also communicate with the control unit 12. This means the parking hard switch 32 is effectively connected to both the main control unit 11 and the control unit 12. The user can manipulate the parking hard switch 32 to send parking signals to both the main control unit 11 and the control unit 12. However, the main control unit 11 will control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state. Alternatively, when the control unit 12 receives the parking signal, it can also control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state, thus achieving parking. In other words, even if both the control unit 12 and the parking soft switch 31 fail, the main control unit 11 can still control the electronic caliper assembly 40 via the parking hard switch 32, allowing the vehicle to still be parked.

[0043] Additionally, in the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the parking hard switch 32 is normal, the parking soft switch 31 is malfunctioning, and the slave control unit 12 is normal while the master control unit 11 is malfunctioning, the parking hard switch 32 and the slave control unit 12 are in communication connection.

[0044] Specifically, when the parking hard switch 32 is functioning normally, the parking soft switch 31 is malfunctioning, and the slave control unit 12 is functioning normally, if the main control unit 11 fails, the parking hard switch 32 and the slave control unit 12 will be connected. The user can operate the parking hard switch 32 to send a parking signal to the slave control unit 12, which will then control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state, thus parking the vehicle. In other words, even when both the main control unit 11 and the parking soft switch 31 fail, the parking hard switch 32 can still be used to control the electronic caliper assembly 40 via the slave control unit 12, allowing the vehicle to still be parked.

[0045] If the main control unit 11 is not malfunctioning, the parking hard switch 32 can also communicate with the main control unit 11. This is equivalent to the parking hard switch 32 communicating with both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12. The user can operate the parking hard switch 32 to send parking signals to both the main control unit 11 and the slave control unit 12. However, the slave control unit 12 controls the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state. Alternatively, when the main control unit 11 receives the parking signal, it can control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamped state to achieve parking.

[0046] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the parking hard switch 32 is normal, the parking soft switch 31 is malfunctioning, the main control unit 11 is malfunctioning, and the slave control unit 12 is normal, the parking hard switch 32 is in communication connection with the main control unit 11.

[0047] Specifically, when the parking hard switch 32 is normal, the parking soft switch 31 is malfunctioning, and the control unit 12 is normal, if the main control unit 11 is malfunctioning, the user can operate the parking hard switch 32 to send a parking signal to the main control unit 11. The control unit 12 obtains the parking signal from the main control unit 11, and thus the control unit 12 can control the electronic caliper assembly 40 to be in a clamping state, thereby enabling the vehicle to be parked.

[0048] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the parking control system also includes a vehicle controller 50. The parking hard switch 32, parking soft switch 31, main control unit 11, and slave control unit 12 are all electrically connected to the vehicle controller 50. If at least one of the parking hard switch 32, parking soft switch 31, main control unit 11, or slave control unit 12 fails, the vehicle controller 50 issues a fault warning message. With this configuration, if at least one of the parking hard switch 32, parking soft switch 31, main control unit 11, or slave control unit 12 fails, the vehicle controller 50 will issue a fault warning message, allowing the user to be promptly informed of vehicle malfunctions and thus enabling timely vehicle maintenance, improving vehicle safety.

[0049] It should be noted that if any one of the parking hard switch 32, parking soft switch 31, main control unit 11, or slave control unit 12 fails, the vehicle controller 50 can issue a fault message corresponding to the failed component, thus allowing the user to know which specific component has failed. For example, when the parking hard switch 32 fails, the vehicle controller 50 issues a fault message corresponding to the parking hard switch 32. As another example, when both the parking hard switch 32 and slave control unit 12 fail, the vehicle controller 50 issues a fault message corresponding to both the parking hard switch 32 and slave control unit 12. Furthermore, when the vehicle has an instrument panel located in front of the steering wheel, the vehicle controller 50 is electrically connected to the instrument panel, enabling the instrument panel to display corresponding fault control information. For example, when the parking hard switch 32 fails, the vehicle controller 50 displays "Parking hard switch 32 failed" on the instrument panel to alert the user, or flashes a fault light on the instrument panel to alert the user.

[0050] In some embodiments, the parking control system includes an intelligent driver assistance device, a vehicle controller 50, and a display screen; at least one of the intelligent driver assistance device, the vehicle controller 50, and the display screen integrates a parking soft switch 31. With this configuration, when the parking control system is applied to a vehicle, the user can perform parking operations through the display screen, i.e., the display screen can show virtual buttons that represent the parking soft switch 31, allowing the user to park the vehicle by operating the virtual buttons. Of course, the vehicle controller 50 can be connected to the vehicle's gear shift system, so that once the user shifts the vehicle to P gear (parking gear), the vehicle controller 50 sends a parking signal to the main control unit 11 or the slave control unit 12 to park the vehicle. Furthermore, when the intelligent driver assistance device integrates the parking soft switch 31, when the vehicle is driven with the assistance of the intelligent driver assistance device, the device can send a parking signal to the main control unit 11 or the slave control unit 12 based on the actual lane conditions to park the vehicle.

[0051] It should be noted that intelligent driver assistance devices can be intelligent driver assistance chips.

[0052] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, the parking control system also includes a detection component, which is electrically connected to the trip controller 50. The detection component is configured to detect whether there is a driver in the vehicle's cab, whether the vehicle's seat belt is unfastened, and whether the driver's side door of the vehicle is open. When the driver leaves the cab, the vehicle's seat belt is unfastened, and the driver's side door of the cab is opened, the detection component sends a signal to the vehicle controller 50, and the vehicle controller 50 then sends a parking signal to the main control unit 11 or the slave control unit 12, so that the vehicle is parked.

[0053] It should be noted that the detection component can be any existing sensor in the vehicle that detects whether the seat belt is unfastened or locked, any existing sensor in the vehicle that detects whether the door is closed, and any existing sensor in the vehicle that detects whether the driver is sitting in the driver's seat.

[0054] In some embodiments, the parking hard switch 32 is a control button located in the vehicle's driver's cabin. This design allows the user to easily operate the parking hard switch 32 while driving the vehicle. Specifically, when the user is in the driver's cabin, they can conveniently press the parking hard switch 32 to park the vehicle.

[0055] This application provides a vehicle that includes the parking control system described in any of the above embodiments.

[0056] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the vehicle type can be a range-extended vehicle, and of course, the vehicle type can also be a pure electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle. This embodiment of the application does not limit the specific type of vehicle.
