Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle control device and a vehicle control method. [Background technology]

[0002] When the ignition key is changed from an off state to an on state, the control device of Patent Document 1 performs a diagnosis of the control calculation unit that calculates the current of the motor that applies steering assist torque to the steering mechanism, and then drives the motor. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-13146 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When the memory unit stores the diagnostic results of each device in the vehicle after receiving an instruction from the driver to turn the ignition key off, there is a possibility that the driver will turn the ignition key on again during the process of storing the diagnostic results. If the driver turns the ignition key on again, the control device will erroneously determine that the device being diagnosed is faulty based on the incorrect diagnostic results stored in the memory unit.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of these points, and has an object to restart a vehicle at an appropriate timing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A vehicle control device according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a reception unit that receives an on operation for starting up an electronic device provided in a vehicle and an off operation for shutting down the started electronic device, and a control unit that controls the starting up or shutting down of the electronic device based on the operation received by the reception unit, and if the reception unit receives the on operation before a predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit received the off operation, the control unit starts the starting up of the electronic device after the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit received the off operation.

[0007] If the reception unit receives the on operation after the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit received the off operation, the control unit may start starting up the electronic device at the time the on operation is received.

[0008] The vehicle control device may be a device that controls the vehicle equipped with a drive source including a motor, and the control unit may control startup and shutdown of the electronic device that is a control unit that controls the motor.

[0009] The predetermined time may be equal to or longer than the time from when the electronic device that controls the motor starts to when it finishes shutting down after the reception unit receives the turn-off operation.

[0010] The control unit may start starting up the electronic device after the predetermined time has elapsed, on the condition that the reception unit has not accepted the off operation before the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit accepted the off operation, after the reception unit has accepted the on operation before the predetermined time has elapsed.

[0011] The device may further include a display control unit that displays a message on the display unit indicating that the predetermined time has not elapsed because the reception unit received the on operation before the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit received the off operation.

[0012] The display control unit may hide the message after the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit received the turn-off operation.

[0013] The display control unit may hide the message after the reception unit receives the on operation before the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit received the off operation, because the reception unit received the off operation before the predetermined time has elapsed.

[0014] A vehicle control method according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a reception process executed by a processor to receive an on operation for starting up an electronic device provided in a vehicle and an off operation for shutting down the started electronic device, and a control process for controlling the startup of the electronic device or the shutdown of the electronic device based on the operation received in the reception process, wherein if the on operation is received in the reception process before a predetermined time has elapsed since the off operation was received, the control process starts the startup of the electronic device after the predetermined time has elapsed since the off operation was received. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the present invention, it is possible to achieve the effect of restarting the vehicle at an appropriate timing. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 5]This is an example of a message indicating that a predetermined time P has not elapsed. [Figure 6] This is an example of a message indicating that the MCU4 will not start. [Figure 7] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a processing sequence in the VCU 10. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] <Overview of Vehicle Control System S> Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of a vehicle control system S according to this embodiment. The vehicle control system S shown in Fig. 1 includes an operation unit 1, a motor 2, an inverter 3, an electronic device 4, a storage unit 5, a display unit 6, and a vehicle control device 10. The vehicle control system S is mounted on a vehicle and has a function of controlling the operation of a drive source provided in the vehicle. The drive source is a motor 2.

[0018] The operation unit 1 includes an ignition key or switch for starting and stopping the drive source of the vehicle equipped with the vehicle control system S, and an accelerator pedal of the vehicle. The motor 2 is an electric motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, and is the drive source for driving the vehicle equipped with the vehicle control system S. The inverter 3 is a circuit that converts DC power output by a battery (not shown) provided in the vehicle into AC power and supplies it to the motor 2.

[0019] The electronic device 4 is a control unit, so-called MCU (Motor Control Unit), that controls the motor 2. The electronic device 4 acquires, for example, the depression amount of the accelerator pedal operated by the vehicle driver, the current value of the AC power supplied to the motor 2 by the inverter 3, and the angle value detected by a resolver (angle displacement sensor) included in the motor 2. The electronic device 4 then generates a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal based on the acquired depression amount, current value, and angle value, and outputs the generated PWM signal to the inverter 3, thereby controlling the output of the motor 2.

[0020] The electronic device 4 periodically diagnoses whether or not a fault has occurred in the inverter 3. For example, the electronic device 4 acquires a composite voltage obtained by combining the output voltages of the phases of the inverter 3 as the voltage of a virtual neutral point corresponding to the neutral point of the motor 2, and diagnoses the inverter 3 based on the composite voltage. The electronic device 4 stores the diagnosis result of whether or not a fault has occurred in the inverter 3 in the storage unit 5.

[0021] The storage unit 5 is a storage medium such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory). The storage unit 5 stores various types of information required for the electronic device 4 to control the motor 2 and the inverter 3. The storage unit 5 stores the diagnosis results of the electronic device 4 diagnosing the inverter 3. The display unit 6 is a display provided in the instrument panel of the vehicle, such as a multi-information display.

[0022] The vehicle control device 10 is a device that controls a vehicle equipped with a drive source including a motor 2, and is a so-called VCU (Vehicle Control Unit). The vehicle control device 10 has a function of starting up or shutting down the electronic device 4 in response to the driver of the vehicle operating an ignition key or a switch included in the operation unit 1.

[0023] The vehicle control device 10 outputs, for example, a start signal for starting the electronic device 4 and a stop signal for shutting down the electronic device 4 to the electronic device 4 via a CAN (Controller Area Network). For example, when the vehicle control device 10 receives an on operation from the operation unit 1 by the driver to turn on an ignition key or a switch, the vehicle control device 10 outputs a start signal to the electronic device 4 to start the electronic device 4. For example, when the vehicle control device 10 receives an off operation from the operation unit 1 by the driver to turn off the ignition key or a switch, the vehicle control device 10 outputs a stop signal to the electronic device 4 to shut down the electronic device.

[0024] When the electronic device 4 acquires a stop signal from the vehicle control device 10, it stops after executing the process related to shutdown (hereinafter referred to as "shutdown process"). Therefore, it takes a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) from acquiring the stop signal to stopping. As an example, the shutdown process is a process of storing the diagnosis result of diagnosing whether a failure has occurred in the inverter 3 in the storage unit 5. For this reason, when the electronic device 4 acquires a startup signal from the vehicle control device 10 during the execution of the shutdown process, the electronic device 4 interrupts the process of storing the diagnosis result in the storage unit 5 and restarts. Then, the electronic device 4 uses the diagnosis result stored halfway in the storage unit 5 (that is, an incorrect diagnosis result) to confirm whether a failure has occurred in the inverter 3, so it erroneously determines that a failure has occurred in the inverter 3.

[0025] Therefore, when the vehicle control device 10 further receives an on operation from the operation unit 1 before a predetermined time elapses after receiving an off operation from the operation unit 1, it outputs a startup signal after the predetermined time elapses. The predetermined time is, for example, a time longer than the time for the electronic device 4 to execute the shutdown process. By controlling the timing at which the vehicle control device 10 starts the restart of the electronic device 4 in this way, the vehicle control device 10 can prevent the electronic device 4 from erroneously determining that the inverter 3 has failed. Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the vehicle control device 10 will be described in detail. In the following description, the electronic device 4 is referred to as "MCU4" and the vehicle control device 10 is referred to as "VCU10".

[0026] <Configuration of VCU10> As shown in FIG. 1, the VCU10 includes a storage unit 11 and a processor 12. The processor 12 includes a reception unit 121, a control unit 122, and a display control unit 123.

[0027] The storage unit 11 includes a storage medium such as a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD). The storage unit 11 stores programs executed by the processor 12 and various information for controlling the timing of starting the startup of the MCU 4 and the timing of starting the shutdown of the MCU 4.

[0028] The processor 12 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an ECU (Electronic Control Unit). The processor 12 executes a program stored in the storage unit 11 to function as a reception unit 121, a control unit 122, and a display control unit 123. The processor 12 may be configured as a single processor, or may be configured as a combination of multiple processors or one or more processors and electronic circuits.

[0029] The reception unit 121 receives an ON operation for starting up the MCU 4 and an OFF operation for shutting down the started MCU 4. For example, the reception unit 121 receives, from the operation unit 1, an ON operation indicating that the driver has turned on the ignition key or switch of the operation unit 1, as an ON operation for starting up the MCU 4. For example, the reception unit 121 receives, from the operation unit 1, an OFF operation indicating that the driver has turned off the ignition key or switch of the operation unit 1, as an OFF operation for shutting down the MCU 4.

[0030] The control unit 122 controls the startup or shutdown of the MCU 4 based on the operation received by the reception unit 121. For example, the control unit 122 controls the timing of starting the shutdown of the MCU 4 in response to the reception unit 121 receiving an OFF operation. For example, the control unit 122 controls the shutdown of the MCU 4, which is a control unit that controls the motor 2, by outputting a stop signal to the MCU 4 at the time when the reception unit 121 receives the OFF operation or at the time following that time.

[0031] The control unit 122 controls the timing of starting the activation of the MCU 4 in response to, for example, the reception unit 121 receiving an ON operation. The control unit 122 controls the activation of the MCU 4, which is a control unit that controls the motor 2, by outputting a activation signal to the MCU 4, for example, at a time after the reception unit 121 receives the ON operation.

[0032] If the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation before a predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received the OFF operation, the control unit 122 starts activation of the MCU 4 after the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received the OFF operation. The predetermined time is a time that is equal to or longer than the time from when the MCU 4 that controls the motor 2 starts to when it finishes shutting down after the reception unit 121 receives the OFF operation, and is, for example, 10 seconds.

[0033] For example, if the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation before a predetermined time has elapsed since the first timing at which the reception unit 121 received an OFF operation, the control unit 122 starts the startup of the MCU 4 after the predetermined time has elapsed since the first timing. That is, if the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation before the predetermined time has elapsed since the first timing, the control unit 122 outputs a startup signal and starts the startup of the MCU 4 after the predetermined time has elapsed since the first timing.

[0034] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation in which the MCU 4 starts to start up after a predetermined time has elapsed. The horizontal axis of FIG. 2 represents time, and the vertical axis of FIG. 2 represents "operation" indicating the operation (on operation, off operation) received from the operation unit 1, "MCU" indicating the processing state of the MCU 4, and "message" indicating whether the display control unit 123 is causing the display unit 6 to display a message. Time T1 shown in FIG. 2 is a first timing, and time T2 is a second timing at which a predetermined time P has elapsed since time T1. The "termination processing" shown in FIG. 2 includes a state in which the shutdown processing is being executed and a state in which the shutdown processing has been completed and the device is stopped. Details of the "message" that the display control unit 123 causes the display unit 6 to display will be described later.

[0035] 2, when the reception unit 121 receives an OFF operation at time T1, the control unit 122 outputs a stop signal to the MCU 4 at time T1 or the time following time T1, and starts the shutdown process of the MCU 4. Subsequently, at time T3, the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation before a predetermined time P has elapsed since time T1, so the control unit 122 outputs a startup signal at time T2 when the predetermined time P has elapsed since time T1. Then, when the MCU 4 receives the startup signal at time T2, it starts the startup process.

[0036] By operating the control unit 122 as described above, the MCU 4 can start the startup process after the shutdown process is completed, even if the driver performs an on operation before the shutdown process is completed. As a result, the control unit 122 can prevent, for example, the MCU 4 from restarting in a state where incorrect data is stored in the storage unit 5. Furthermore, even though the control unit 122 cannot notify the VCU 10 of the completion of the shutdown process after the MCU 4 completes the shutdown process, the control unit 122 can start the MCU 4 after the MCU 4 completes the shutdown process. As a result, the VCU 10 can restart the vehicle at the appropriate timing.

[0037] For example, if a predetermined condition is satisfied after the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation before a predetermined time P has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received the OFF operation, the control unit 122 starts the startup of the MCU 4 after the predetermined time P has elapsed. The predetermined condition is that the reception unit 121 has not received an OFF operation before the predetermined time P has elapsed. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, if the reception unit 121 has not received an OFF operation during the period from time T3 when the reception unit 121 received the ON operation to time T2 when the predetermined time P has elapsed, the control unit 122 starts the startup of the MCU 4 at time T2.

[0038] On the other hand, if the reception unit 121 receives an off operation during the period from time T3 to time T2 shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 122 does not start the activation of the MCU 4 at time T2 because the predetermined condition is not satisfied. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the operation in which the control unit 122 does not start the activation of the MCU 4 because the predetermined condition is not satisfied. The horizontal and vertical axes in FIG. 3 are the same as the horizontal and vertical axes in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the reception unit 121 receives an off operation at time T4, which is included in the period from time T3 to time T2, so the control unit 122 does not output a startup signal at time T2. As a result, the MCU 4 does not start up at or after time T2.

[0039] By operating as described above, even during the predetermined time P when the MCU 4 is executing the shutdown process, the control unit 122 can control, in response to the driver's operation, whether to start up the MCU 4 after the predetermined time P has elapsed. As a result, even if, for example, the driver mistakenly performs an on operation during the predetermined time P and then performs an off operation after the on operation, the control unit 122 can perform control so as not to start up the MCU 4 in response to the driver's operation.

[0040] The control unit 122 may control the activation of the MCU 4 based on the operation that is received closest to time T2 out of multiple operations received by the reception unit 121 at times before time T2, which is a predetermined time P after time T1. For example, if the operation that is received closest to time T2 out of multiple operations received by the reception unit 121 at the predetermined time P is an ON operation, the control unit 122 activates the MCU 4 at time T2. On the other hand, if the operation that is received closest to time T2 out of multiple operations received by the reception unit 121 at the predetermined time P is an OFF operation, the control unit 122 does not activate the MCU 4 at time T2.

[0041] By operating as described above, even if the driver erroneously performs an on operation and an off operation multiple times during the predetermined time P, the control unit 122 can control the activation of the MCU 4 based on the operation last performed by the driver during the predetermined time P. As a result, the control unit 122 can match the state in which the driver operates the operation unit 1 with the state regarding the activation or stop of the MCU 4 at time T2.

[0042] When the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation after a predetermined time P has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received an OFF operation (i.e., after time T2, which is the second timing), the control unit 122 starts the startup of the MCU 4 at the timing when the ON operation was received. In other words, when the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation after time T2, the control unit 122 outputs a startup signal at the timing when the ON operation was received, and starts the startup of the MCU 4.

[0043] 4 is a diagram showing the operation of MCU 4 starting startup at the timing of receiving an ON operation. The horizontal and vertical axes in FIG. 4 are the same as those in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 4, when receiving unit 121 receives an ON operation at time T5, control unit 122 outputs a startup signal at time T5 or the time next to time T5. Then, MCU 4 starts startup processing by acquiring the startup signal. By controlling unit 122 operating as described above, MCU 4 can start up without delay from the timing of the ON operation by the driver after completing the shutdown processing.

[0044] The display control unit 123 controls whether or not to display a message on the display unit 6. For example, when the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation before the predetermined time P has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received an OFF operation (i.e., from the time T1 that is the first timing), the display control unit 123 displays a message indicating that the predetermined time P has not elapsed on the display unit 6. The message is, for example, text data, but may include an image or video, or may be an image or video corresponding to the text data.

[0045] FIG. 5 is an example of a message indicating that the predetermined time P has not elapsed. As shown in FIG. 5, the display control unit 123 displays a message indicating that the MCU 4 is undergoing startup processing on the display unit 6 as a message indicating that the predetermined time P has not elapsed (i.e., the MCU 4 is undergoing shutdown processing). Since the driver assumes that the shutdown processing has ended after performing an OFF operation, if the display control unit 123 displays a message regarding shutdown when the ON operation is performed after the OFF operation, it becomes difficult for the driver to grasp the state of the vehicle. Therefore, the display control unit 123 replaces the fact that the predetermined time P has not elapsed with the fact that startup processing is being performed, and displays this, thereby making it easier for the driver to grasp the state of the vehicle.

[0046] 2, for example, the display control unit 123 causes the display unit 6 to display the message shown in FIG. 5 during the period from time T3 when the reception unit 121 receives an ON operation to time T2 when a predetermined time P has elapsed. Then, the display control unit 123 causes the message to disappear after the predetermined time P has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received an OFF operation. The display control unit 123 causes the message to disappear after time T2 (i.e., after a second timing when the predetermined time P has elapsed from a first timing). By operating in this manner, the display control unit 123 can notify the driver of the state of the vehicle at times when the vehicle's operation corresponding to the driver's operation is different.

[0047] The display control unit 123 causes the message to be hidden, for example, when the reception unit 121 receives an off operation (i.e., after the reception unit 121 receives an on operation before a predetermined time P elapses from the time T1 which is the first timing) and then the reception unit 121 receives an off operation before the predetermined time P elapses. The display control unit 123 causes the message to be hidden at times after the time T4, for example, when the reception unit 121 receives an off operation at the time T4 shown in FIG. 3. By operating in this way, the display control unit 123 can hide the message according to the driver's operation, so that the driver can easily grasp the state of the vehicle.

[0048] The display control unit 123 may cause the display unit 6 to display a message indicating that the MCU 4 does not start, when the reception unit 121 receives an off operation before the predetermined time P elapses after the reception unit 121 receives an on operation before the predetermined time P elapses from the time T1. FIG. 6 is an example of a message indicating that the MCU 4 does not start. As shown in FIG. 6, the display control unit 123 causes the display unit 6 to display a message indicating that the MCU's 4 startup process has stopped as a message indicating that the MCU 4 does not start. The display control unit 123 causes the message shown in FIG. 6 to be displayed at the time T4 or the next time after the time T4, for example, when the reception unit 121 receives an off operation at the time T4 shown in FIG. 3.

[0049] By operating in this way, the display control unit 123 can notify the driver that the vehicle is operating according to the driver's operation. Further, by replacing the fact that the MCU 4 does not start after the time T2 (the second timing) with the fact that the MCU 4 has stopped the startup process and displaying it, the display control unit 123 can notify the driver of the state of the vehicle with a message that is easy for the driver to understand.

[0050] <Processing sequence in the VCU 10> FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a processing sequence in the VCU 10. The processing sequence shown in FIG. 7 is a processing sequence showing an operation in which the VCU 10 starts the startup of the MCU 4.

[0051] When the reception unit 121 receives an off operation from the operation unit 1 (YES in step S11), it outputs a stop signal to the MCU 4 to start the shutdown of the MCU 4 (step S12). When the off operation has not been received from the operation unit 1 (NO in step S11), the reception unit 121 repeats the process of step S11.

[0052] When the reception unit 121 has not received an on operation (NO in step S13), the reception unit 121 repeats the process of step S13. When the reception unit 121 receives an on operation (YES in step S13), the control unit 122 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the process of step S11 (step S14). When it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in step S14), the control unit 122 outputs a startup signal to the MCU 4 to start the startup of the MCU 4 (step S15).

[0053] When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (NO in step S14), the display control unit 123 causes the display unit 6 to display the "message indicating startup in progress" shown in FIG. 5 (step S16). Then, when the control unit 122 determines that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the process of step S11 (NO in step S17), the control unit 122 repeats the process of step S17. When it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in step S17), the display control unit 123 turns off the display of the "message indicating startup in progress" shown in FIG. 5 (step S18), and the control unit 122 starts the startup of the MCU 4 (step S15).

[0054] <Effect by the VCU 10>[[ID=!7]] As described above, the VCU 10 includes the reception unit 121 that receives an ON operation for starting up the MCU 4 provided in the vehicle and an OFF operation for shutting down the started MCU 4, and the control unit 122 that controls the startup of the MCU 4 or the shutdown of the MCU 4 based on the operation on the reception unit 121. If the reception unit 121 receives the ON operation before a predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received the OFF operation, the control unit 122 starts the startup of the MCU 4 after the predetermined time has elapsed since the reception unit 121 received the OFF operation.

[0055] By configuring the VCU 10 in this manner, the MCU 4 can start the startup process after the shutdown process is completed, even if the driver performs an on operation before the shutdown process is completed. As a result, the VCU 10 can restart the MCU 4 after the MCU 4 has stored correct data in the storage unit 5 during the shutdown process, preventing the MCU 4 from erroneously determining that a device controlled by the MCU 4 (e.g., the inverter 3) has failed. In other words, the VCU 10 can restart the vehicle, including the MCU 4, at the appropriate timing.
