DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Hereinafter, the technical means in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without creative labor are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the UWB anchor calibration method according to the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps S101 and S102.

[0022] In step S101, the level state of the UWB anchor pin is obtained. If the UWB anchor pin is grounded, the level state of the UWB anchor pin is low level, and if the UWB anchor pin is open, the level state of the UWB anchor pin is high level.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2, as an application mode, a UWB anchor 101 and a main control module 120 are installed in a vehicle 10. The execution body of this step is the control module 110 in the UWB anchor 101. The control module 110 is connected to the main control module 120 and connected to a pin L, and different connection modes can be used for the pin. For example, the pin can be connected to a low level, a high level or ground. That is, the level state of the pin can be a low level or a high level, the address data corresponding to the low level state is 0, and the address data corresponding to the high level is 1.

[0024] Step S101 is When the pin of the UWB anchor is grounded, the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor is set to a low level; If the pin of the UWB anchor is open, the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor is set to high level.

[0025] To make a pin have a different level, the pin can be connected to a resistor; when the pin is grounded, the level state of the pin is a low level state, and when the pin is open, the voltage drop across the resistor can make the level state of the pin a high level state.

[0026] Each UWB anchor includes a first pin and a second pin; The steps of acquiring the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor include: The method includes the steps of acquiring the level states of the first pin and the second pin, respectively, and arranging the level states of the first pin and the second pin of the UWB anchor according to a predetermined order to obtain the level states of the pins.

[0027] The number of pins may be two or more. The predetermined order refers to the order of the pins arranged in advance. For example, the pins include a first pin and a second pin, and the predetermined order is to arrange the level state of the first pin and the level state of the second pin in order. This results in address information, and if the level state of the first pin is 0 and the level state of the second pin is 1, the address information is 01.

[0028] In step S102, the position of the UWB anchor is determined and output based on the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and a predetermined correspondence between the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and the position of the UWB anchor.

[0029] There is a correspondence between the address information formed by the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and the position relative to the vehicle body. Based on this correspondence, the position of the UWB anchor relative to the vehicle body can be easily obtained. The control module of the UWB anchor obtains the position relative to the vehicle body and then outputs it to the vehicle control module.

[0030] A correspondence table between the address information and the position relative to the vehicle body is set in advance. For example, when the pin includes a first pin and a second pin, the correspondence between the address information and the position relative to the vehicle body is as shown in Table 1. [Table 1]

[0031] After acquiring address information from the above Table 1, the position relative to the vehicle body is searched and acquired in Table 1. For example, if the address information of the first UWB anchor is acquired as 00, the position of the first UWB anchor relative to the vehicle body is acquired as the left front of the vehicle.

[0032] The UWB anchor calibration method according to the first embodiment of the present application includes the steps of obtaining the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor, and determining and outputting the position of the UWB anchor based on the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and a predetermined correspondence between the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and the position of the UWB anchor. This technical means can realize the self-identification of the position by the UWB anchor according to the pin state. In addition, by utilizing the pin state of the UWB anchor itself, there is no need to develop multiple anchors, saving material management costs, and no need to recalibrate the vehicle offline. In addition, compared with the prior art, the harness of the vehicle is simplified, the wire required for the anchor is saved, and there is no need to introduce and judge signals from the main control module or other modules, simplifying the circuit structure of the UWB anchor and reducing the cost of the vehicle.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 3, the UWB anchor calibration method according to the second embodiment of the present application includes the following steps S201 and S202.

[0034] In step S201, the level state of the UWB anchor pin is received. If the UWB anchor pin is grounded, the level state of the UWB anchor pin is low level; if the UWB anchor pin is open, the level state of the UWB anchor pin is high level.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 2, as an application mode, a UWB anchor 101 and a main control module 120 are installed in a vehicle 10. The main control module 120 in the UWB anchor 101 is the entity that performs this step. The control module 110 is connected to the main control module 120 and is connected to a pin L, and different connection modes can be used for the pin. For example, the pin can be connected to a low level, a high level or ground. That is, the level state of the pin can be a low level or a high level, and the address data corresponding to the low level state is 0, and the address data corresponding to the high level is 1.

[0036] Each UWB anchor includes a first pin and a second pin; The level state of the pin of the UWB anchor is the level state of the pin obtained by arranging the level states of the first pin and the second pin of the UWB anchor in a predetermined order.

[0037] The number of pins may be two or more. The predetermined order refers to the order of the pins arranged in advance. For example, the pins include a first pin and a second pin, and the predetermined order is to arrange the level state of the first pin and the level state of the second pin in order. This results in address information, and if the level state of the first pin is 0 and the level state of the second pin is 1, the address information is 01.

[0038] In step S202, the position of the UWB anchor is determined based on the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and a predetermined correspondence between the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and the position of the UWB anchor.

[0039] This step is the same as step S102, and the description thereof will be omitted here.

[0040] The UWB anchor calibration method according to the second embodiment of the present application includes the steps of receiving the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor, and determining and outputting the position of the UWB anchor according to the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and a predetermined correspondence between the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor and the position of the UWB anchor. This technical means can realize the self-identification of the position by the UWB anchor according to the pin state. In addition, by utilizing the pin state of the UWB anchor itself, there is no need to develop multiple anchors, saving material management costs, and no need to recalibrate the vehicle offline. In addition, compared with the prior art, the harness of the vehicle is simplified, the wire required for the anchor is saved, and there is no need to introduce and judge signals from the main control module or other modules, simplifying the circuit structure of the UWB anchor and reducing the cost of the vehicle.

[0041] The UWB anchor according to the third embodiment of the present application includes a control module and a pin, the control module is connected to the pin, The level state of the pin is acquired, and the position of the UWB anchor relative to the vehicle body is acquired and output based on the level state of the pin and a predetermined correspondence between the level state of the pin and the position of the UWB anchor, and when the pin of the UWB anchor is grounded, the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor is low level, and when the pin of the UWB anchor is open, the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor is high level.

[0042] As shown in Fig. 4, the UWB anchor 101 includes a control module 110. The control module 110 is connected to pin A, pin B and a CAN bus. The control module 110 acquires and learns the level states of pin A and pin B, converts the level states into address data, arranges them in a predetermined order to acquire address information, acquires the position of the UWB anchor relative to the vehicle body based on the address information, and outputs it to the main control module via the CAN bus.

[0043] Regarding the level state of the pin, the control module further When the pin of the UWB anchor is grounded, the level state of the pin of the UWB anchor is low level; When the UWB anchor pin is open, the level state of the UWB anchor pin is high.

[0044] 4, the UWB anchor 101 includes a power module 111, a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2. The pins include a first pin and a second pin, where the first pin is pin A and the second pin is pin B. The power input terminal of the control module 110 is connected to the output terminal of the power module 111, the first terminal of the first resistor R1, and the first terminal of the second resistor R2. The first level signal input terminal of the control module 110 is connected to the second terminal of the first resistor R1 and the first pin. The second level signal input terminal of the control module 110 is connected to the second terminal of the second resistor R2 and the second pin.

[0045] When pin A is grounded, the control module 110 receives the level state of pin A as a low level and obtains its address data as 0. When pin B is open, there is a voltage drop across the second resistor R2, so the control module 110 receives the level state of pin A as a high level and obtains its address data as 1.

[0046] A correspondence table between address information and a position relative to the vehicle body is set in advance. The correspondence between address information and a position relative to the vehicle body is as shown in Table 1. After acquiring address information from Table 1, the position relative to the vehicle body is searched and acquired in Table 1. For example, when the address information of the first UWB anchor is acquired as 01, the position of the first UWB anchor relative to the vehicle body is acquired as the right front of the vehicle.

[0047] The control module in the UWB anchor according to the third embodiment of the present application obtains the level state of the pin, and obtains and outputs the position of the UWB anchor relative to the vehicle body based on the level state of the pin and the predetermined correspondence between the level state of the pin and the position of the UWB anchor. In this technical means, a power supply module is installed, a first resistor is connected to the first pin, and a second resistor is connected to the second pin, so that the UWB anchor can realize the self-identification of the position according to the pin state. In addition, by utilizing the pin state of the UWB anchor itself, there is no need to develop multiple anchors, saving material management costs, and no need to recalibrate the vehicle offline. In addition, compared with the prior art, the harness of the vehicle is simplified, the wires required for the anchor are saved, and there is no need to introduce and judge signals from the main control module or other modules, simplifying the circuit structure of the UWB anchor and reducing the cost of the vehicle.
