[0062] The following describes a handle storage assembly 100, a control method, and a vehicle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to Figures 1 to 9.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , according to the handle storage assembly 100 of the first embodiment of the present application, the handle storage assembly 100 includes: a base 10 and a platform 20 .

[0064] The base 10 can be set on the vehicle body, and the platform 20 is used to place the handle 200. The platform 20 is movably set on the base 10 through the transmission assembly 30 to be telescopic relative to the base 10.

[0065] Specifically, the platform 20 is used to place the handle 200, and the handle 200 is arranged on the platform 20 in a removable manner. By setting the handle storage assembly 100, the technical problem of no fixed position of the handle 200 in the vehicle can be solved. Placing the handle 200 in a fixed position can improve the integrity and aesthetics of the vehicle 1000, and can improve the user experience, giving the vehicle 1000 a high-end feel.

[0066] The handle 200 of the embodiment of the present application can be a control handle 200 of a vehicle-mounted drone. When audio-visual game equipment is integrated inside the vehicle 1000, the handle 200 can also be a game handle 200, and a accommodating groove 410 is set between the central control screen 300 and the center console 400; or a accommodating groove 410 is set at a suitable position inside other vehicles 1000, and is used to store the handle 200 and the handle storage assembly 100. The reasonable setting position makes it easy to take the handle 200, while having less impact on the layout of the interior space of the vehicle and does not affect other riding needs of the occupants.

[0067] According to the handle storage assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the handle 200 can be conveniently taken out and placed. Not only can a placement position for the handle 200 be formed inside the vehicle body to avoid the random placement of the handle 200, thereby improving the integrity of the vehicle 1000 and improving the aesthetics of the vehicle 1000, but the handle 200 can also be quickly and conveniently taken out and placed without affecting other passenger needs of the occupants, and can also improve the user experience, giving the vehicle 1000 a more advanced sensory experience and improving the refinement of the entire vehicle.

[0068] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, according to some embodiments of the present application, the handle storage assembly 100 also includes: a power module 40, which provides driving force for the transmission assembly 30 to switch the platform 20 between a pick-up and placement position extended relative to the base 10 and a storage position retracted relative to the base 10, and the handle storage assembly 100 also includes a control module 50, which is arranged on the base 10 or the platform 20, and the control module 50 is electrically connected to the power module 40 and is suitable for controlling the power module 40.

[0069] The platform 20 can be switched between the pick-up and placement position and the storage position relative to the base 10, so that when the handle 200 needs to be used, the platform 20 can be switched to the pick-up and placement position to facilitate the user to pick up the handle 200. After the use of the handle 200 is completed, the handle 200 can be placed on the platform 20 in the pick-up and placement position, and the platform 20 can be switched to the storage position to achieve hidden storage of the handle 200.

[0070] The platform 20 switches between the pick-up and placement position and the storage position relative to the base 10 by flipping, rotating, or linearly moving the platform 20 relative to the base 10 .

[0071] The power module 40 can be constructed as a power source such as a linear motor, a rotary motor, a pneumatic strut, a hydraulic strut, etc., and the driving force can be provided by the power module 40. The power module 40 is power-connected to the transmission assembly 30, and the control module 50 is electrically connected to the power module 40, so that the power module 40 can be controlled by the control module 50. Based on the control signal of the control module 50, the power module 40 can at least control the platform 20 to switch between the pick-up and placement position and the storage position, so that the switching process of the platform 20 between the pick-up and placement position and the storage position can be completed automatically, with a higher degree of intelligence and a better user experience.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9 , in some embodiments, the handle storage assembly 100 further includes a wireless charging module 60 . The wireless charging module 60 is integrated in the platform 20 and is suitable for wirelessly charging the handle 200 placed on the platform 20 .

[0073] The wireless charging module 60 can interact with the control module 50 and charge the handle 200 when it needs to be charged based on the control signal of the control module 50. A detection unit can also be integrated inside the wireless charging module 60; or a detection unit can be set on the platform 20; or a power feedback unit can be integrated in the handle 200 to detect the power level of the handle 200 through the detection unit; or the power level of the handle 200 can be determined through the power feedback unit. When the power level of the handle 200 is lower than the power threshold, the wireless charging module 60 can be controlled to charge the handle 200 to ensure that the power level of the handle 200 can meet the usage requirements each time the handle 200 is taken.

[0074] As shown in FIG. 9 , the handle storage assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application can charge the handle 200 through the following charging control method.

[0075] Each time the vehicle 1000 is started, it is obtained whether the handle 200 is located on the platform 20. If so, it continues to obtain whether the battery power of the handle 200 is less than the power threshold (such as 95% power). Otherwise, it continues to obtain the handle 200. When the battery power is less than the power threshold, the handle 200 is charged, and when the power of the handle 200 is greater than or equal to the power threshold, the charging is controlled to stop to ensure that the power of the handle 200 is always maintained above the power threshold, ensuring the battery life of the handle 200 and improving the user experience.

[0076] It can be understood that the handle 200 of the embodiment of the present application can realize automatic control charging, without the need to set up a charging harness for plug-in charging, which can relieve the passengers' anxiety about the battery life of the handle 200 and is more intelligent and humane.

[0077] As shown in Figure 4, the handle storage assembly 100 also includes: a detection module 70, the detection module 70 is integrated in the platform 20, the detection module 70 and the wireless charging module 60 are electrically connected to the control module 50, and the detection module 70 is suitable for detecting whether the handle 200 is placed in place, and the control module 50 is suitable for controlling the wireless charging module 60 to wirelessly charge the handle 200 according to the detection signal of the detection module 70.

[0078] The detection module 70 can be constructed as a gravity sensor, a light sensor, etc., for detecting whether the handle 200 is placed in place. In the control method shown in Figure 9, whether the handle 200 is located on the platform 20 can be determined based on the detection signal of the detection module 70, so that when it is determined that the handle 200 is on the platform 20 and the power level is lower than the power threshold, the wireless charging module 60 is controlled to charge the handle 200. The charging control logic of the handle 200 is simple, clear, and efficient, which can improve the charging efficiency and ensure the reliability and stability of charging identification and charging control.

[0079] The detection module 70 can interact with the wireless charging module 60, and the interaction between the two can be realized through the control module 50, that is, the control module 50 determines whether the handle 200 is placed in place and whether the handle 200 needs to be charged based on the power information obtained by the wireless charging module 60 and the position information of the handle 200 obtained by the detection module 70, and controls the wireless charging module 60 to charge when it is placed in place and needs to be charged.

[0080] The charging control method for the handle 200 disclosed in the embodiment of the present application is not affected by the position of the platform 20. When the platform 20 is in the access position or the storage position, as long as the handle 200 is above the platform 20, the power level can be detected and charging can be performed when needed.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 , in some embodiments, the handle storage assembly 100 further includes a limit switch 80 . The limit switch 80 is disposed on the base 10 and is used to detect the position of the platform 20 relative to the base 10 .

[0082] There can be two limit switches 80, which are used to detect the storage position and the pick-up and placement position respectively. There can also be one limit switch 80, such as a distance sensor, which can detect the position of the platform 20 relative to the base 10 by detecting the relative distance between a certain position of the platform 20 and the limit switch 80.

[0083] In this way, on the one hand, the position of the platform 20 relative to the base 10 can be detected by the limit switch 80 to ensure the positioning accuracy of the platform 20, making the removal and placement of the handle 200 simpler and more convenient; on the other hand, the limit switch 80 can interact with the drive module (implemented through the control module 50), and based on the position signal of the limit switch 80, the drive module can be controlled to be powered on or off to avoid the drive module from stalling, thereby improving the working stability, and can cooperate to implement anti-pinch protection to improve the safety of use.

[0084] In some embodiments, the power module 40 is constructed as a drive motor, which is integrated with a current detection device. The current detection device is suitable for detecting the operating current of the drive motor and for controlling the drive motor to stop after the operating current reaches a stall threshold.

[0085] The working current of the drive motor is detected by the current detection component. When the working current reaches the stall threshold, the platform 20 moves to the pick-up and placement position or the storage position accordingly and triggers the limit switch 80. At this time, the drive motor is controlled to stop, which can avoid the drive motor from being stalled for a long time, thereby extending the service life of the drive motor and improving the service life of the handle storage assembly 100. The current detection component and the limit switch 80 can also interact through the control module 50 to achieve anti-pinch protection. If the drive motor is stalled but the limit switch 80 is not punished, it is characterized by the presence of foreign matter within the travel range of the platform 20, and the platform 20 has clamped the foreign matter. At this time, the drive motor stops in time to achieve anti-pinch protection, and can be based on the limit switch 80, assisted by subsequent actions, such as flipping the drive motor, to improve the anti-pinch stability and reliability.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 4 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the handle storage assembly 100 further includes a handle fixing module 90 . The handle fixing module 90 is suitable for magnetically attracting the handle 200 to fix the handle 200 on the platform 20 .

[0087] The handle fixing module 90 is arranged on the side of the platform 20 away from the handle 200, so that the handle 200 module can magnetically attract the handle 200 to fix the handle 200, thereby preventing the handle 200 from moving on the platform 20, preventing the handle 200 from making abnormal noises, and improving the fixing stability and reliability of the handle 200.

[0088] The handle fixing module 90 can be constructed as an electromagnetic attraction component; or as a permanent magnetic attraction component.

[0089] In some embodiments, the handle fixing module 90 is formed as a permanent magnetic attraction component, which improves the fixing stability of the handle 200 by magnetically attracting the handle 200. When the handle 200 needs to be taken, the user can overcome the magnetic force to pick up the handle 200; in a preferred embodiment, the handle fixing module 90 is constructed as an electromagnetic attraction component, and the handle fixing module 90 can interact with the detection module 70 through the control module 50, so that when the handle 200 is placed on the platform 20, the control module 50 controls the handle fixing module 90 to power on to magnetically attract the handle 200. The handle fixing module 90 can also interact with the limit switch 80 through the control module 50. When the handle 200 is on the platform 20 and the platform 20 is in the pick-up and placement position, the control module 50 controls the handle fixing module 90 to power off. At this time, the handle 200 can be directly taken. While achieving magnetic fixation, the platform 20 has no constraint force on the handle 200 during the process of taking the handle 200, which can also further improve the convenience of taking the handle 200 and improve the user experience.

[0090] As shown in Figures 1 and 7, in some embodiments, the handle storage assembly 100 also includes: a trigger unit, which is electrically connected to the control module 50, and after the trigger unit is triggered, the control module 50 controls the platform 20 to switch between the pick-up and placement position and the storage position.

[0091] After the trigger unit is triggered, an instruction to switch the position of the platform 20 is issued. After the control module 50 receives the position switching instruction, it can control the power module 40 to power on. The power module 40 drives the platform 20 to switch between the pick-up and placement position and the storage position, realizing the automatic switching of the platform 20 between the pick-up and placement position and the storage position, thereby improving the degree of automation and enhancing the user experience.

[0092] In some embodiments, the trigger unit is constructed as a multiplexed structure, and the trigger unit needs to be triggered when switching from the taking position to the storage position and from the storage position to the taking position. In other embodiments, the trigger unit needs to be triggered only when switching from the storage position to the taking position. When the platform 20 is in the taking position, the platform 20 can be parked to facilitate the removal of the handle 200. After the handle 200 is removed, the control module 50 can directly reset to the storage position based on the detection signal of the detection module 70 after determining that the handle 200 is removed. It can also control the platform 20 to automatically reset when the parking time reaches a threshold time (such as: 5s). It can also stay in the taking position for a long time after the handle 200 is taken out, until the handle 200 is placed on the platform 20 again. After the control module 50 determines that the handle 200 is put back based on the detection signal of the detection module 70, it automatically resets to the storage position.

[0093] In this way, by setting a trigger unit, the platform 20 can be controlled to switch between the access position and the storage position based on user needs, thereby improving the user experience.

[0094] As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 7, the trigger unit may include: a first trigger part 101, a second trigger part 102 and a third trigger part 103. The first trigger part 101 is constructed as a physical button and is arranged on the vehicle body. The second trigger part 102 is constructed as a photoelectric detection sensor, which is arranged on the vehicle body and adjacent to the platform 20 and preferentially extends out of the end of the base 10. The third trigger part 103 is constructed as a virtual button and is arranged on the central control screen 300 of the vehicle 1000.

[0095] The handle storage assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application can have physical buttons set on the center console 400, virtual buttons can be formed in the first-level menu or second-level menu bar of the central control screen 300, and photoelectric detection sensors can be set at the end of the accommodating groove 410 on the vehicle body for installing the handle storage assembly 100. It can be controlled by physical buttons, virtual buttons and photoelectric detection sensors, with diverse operations, and each triggering form is simple and convenient, and can improve the operating experience of the handle storage assembly 100.

[0096] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, according to some embodiments of the present application, the transmission assembly 30 is constructed as any one of a screw-nut transmission assembly, a rack and pinion transmission assembly, a belt transmission assembly, and a cam slider transmission assembly, and the power input end is arranged on the base 10, and the power output end is arranged on the platform 20.

[0097] The movement stroke of the transmission assembly 30 is not less than 60 mm, so that the extended length of the platform 20 in the access position can be more reasonable, making it more convenient to access the handle 200.

[0098] As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments, the base 10 includes: a bottom plate 11 and side plates 12 located at both ends of the bottom plate 11, and the transmission assembly 30 includes: a first transmission part 301 and a second transmission part 302, the first transmission part 301 is dynamically connected to the power module 40, and the second transmission part 302 is dynamically connected to the platform 20, the power module 40 is arranged on the bottom plate 11, the first transmission part 301 and the second transmission part 302 are arranged on both sides of the same side plate 12, and the power module 40 and the second transmission part 302 are located on the same side of the side plate 12.

[0099] The base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and side plates 12 located at both ends of the bottom plate 11. The transmission assembly 30 may include a first transmission part 301 (power input end) and a second transmission part 302 (power output end). The first transmission part 301 is formed as a gear set, and the gear set is arranged on a side plate 12. The power module 40 is arranged on the bottom plate 11. The output shaft of the power module 40 is connected to the input gear of the gear set, and the output gear of the gear set is connected to the second transmission part 302. The second transmission part 302 can be formed as a gear rack transmission assembly, a belt transmission assembly, a screw nut transmission assembly or a cam slider transmission assembly. The output gear drives the gear or active pulley or screw or cam of the second transmission part 302 to rotate, and the gear or active pulley or screw or cam of the second transmission part 302 drives the rack, driven pulley, nut, and slider of the second transmission part 302 to move, so as to convert the rotation of the power module 40 into linear motion, and drive the platform 20 to switch between the access position and the storage position, thereby improving the movement smoothness and reliability, and the overall structure is simpler and the cost is lower.

[0107] As shown in FIG9 , a control method of the handle storage assembly 100 according to the second embodiment of the present application includes:

[0108] Get position switching signal;

[0109] Based on the position switching signal, the power module 40 is controlled to drive the platform 20 to switch positions;

[0110] Obtain the current signal of the driving motor;

[0111] Determine whether the current signal is greater than or equal to the stall threshold;

[0112] If yes, the drive motor is controlled to stop;

[0113] If not, continue to acquire the current signal of the drive motor; wherein the power module 40 is constructed as a drive motor.

When the current signal reaches the stall threshold, when there is no foreign object obstruction and it moves to the storage position or the taking position; or when there is a foreign object obstruction, the drive motor will stall. At this time, controlling the drive motor to stop can avoid damage to the drive motor and extend the service life of the drive motor. If the current signal is less than the stall threshold, it indicates that the platform 20 has not moved into place or there is no foreign object obstruction, and the platform 20 can continue to be driven to move.

[0115] According to the control method of the embodiment of the present application, through the above-mentioned control logic, when foreign objects obstruct or reach the position, the drive motor is controlled to stop, thereby realizing anti-pinch protection and drive motor stall protection, effectively improving the safety of use of the handle storage assembly 100 and extending its service life.

[0119] If not, the drive motor is controlled to resume rotation, the current signal acquisition step is repeated, and the number of detections of the limit switch 80 is recorded.

[0120] The limit switch 80 is triggered, indicating that the platform 20 has not moved to the storage position or the access position. At this time, the driving motor that is controlled to stop is further powered off to complete the position switching and improve the reliability of use. If the limit switch 80 is not triggered, it means that although the driving motor has stopped, it has not moved to the storage position or the access position. At this time, the driving motor is continued to be controlled to resume rotation, and the above-mentioned stall current detection process is repeated to ensure that the platform 20 can move to the storage position or the access position, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of the positioning. If the stall phenomenon still occurs during the above process, it means that the foreign object obstruction has not been removed.

[0121] The control method also includes:

[0122] If the limit switch 80 detects a value K the number of times, an anti-pinch alarm is issued; wherein K ≥ 3.

[0123] If the process of stalling, resuming rotation and driving the platform 20 to the predetermined position occurs multiple times, and stalling occurs multiple times, it indicates that the foreign object obstacle has not been removed, and an alarm is issued to remind the occupants to remove the foreign object in time, making the anti-pinch logic clearer, the probability of false triggering of anti-pinch, the protection effect is better, and the accuracy of the handle storage assembly 100 in place is higher.

[0125] If the platform 20 is switched from the storage position to the pick-up position, the handle fixing module 90 releases the fixing action of the handle 200 after the driving motor completes the power-off action;

[0126] If the platform 20 is switched from the pick-and-place position to the storage position, the fixing action of the handle 200 by the handle fixing module 90 is synchronized with or takes precedence over the power-on action of the drive motor.

[0127] The control method of the present application can also control the handle fixing module 90 so that in the process of switching to the storage position, the handle 200 is fixed before the platform 20 switches its position or synchronously with the platform 20 switches its position, so as to avoid movement of the handle 200 during the storage process and improve the fixing stability of the handle 200. In the process of switching to the taking position, the handle fixing module 90 continues to fix until the platform 20 moves to the taking position, and then the fixing action is released. At this time, the handle 200 can be taken freely, the restraint force in the process of taking the handle 200 is smaller, and the handle 200 is more convenient to take.
