[0039] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present application, the control method of the hidden door handle includes: obtaining information about the environment in which the vehicle is located; when it is determined based on the environmental information that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets preset conditions, obtaining the location information and current time period of the vehicle; when it is determined based on the location information that the vehicle is in a garage, or when it is determined based on the location information that the vehicle is not in the garage and the current time period is within a preset time period, controlling the door handle to pop out.

[0041] Thus, the door handle is adjusted to a pop-up state, providing a handheld operating structure for the user, making it convenient for the user to open the door from the outside of the vehicle.

[0042] It should be noted that vehicles are equipped with hidden door handles to reduce wind resistance during driving and improve the consistency of the vehicle's appearance. In related technologies, when a vehicle is in a low-temperature environment (such as a cold winter climate), if the door handles are hidden, there is a risk that the door handles will be unable to open due to ice, affecting user usability.

[0043] Among them, when the user opens the door from the outside of the vehicle, the door handle needs to be popped out to form an operating structure for the user to hold at the door. The user can unlock the door and the car body by pulling the door handle, and then open the door.

[0044] In this application, the vehicle's surroundings are first acquired. If the vehicle's surroundings meet pre-set conditions, it indicates a risk of the door handle freezing, requiring further evaluation of the vehicle's information. From there, the vehicle's location and current time period are acquired, and the door handle is controlled based on these information.

[0045] Specifically, if the door handle is at risk of freezing based on environmental information and the vehicle's location is determined to be in a garage, the door handle is controlled to pop out. If the door handle is at risk of freezing based on environmental information and the vehicle is within a preset time period and not in a garage, the door handle is controlled to pop out. This ensures that the door handle remains in the popped-out state, effectively preventing the door handle from freezing and becoming inoperable.

[0046] The main purpose of hiding the door handle is to reduce wind resistance during vehicle operation and improve the appearance of the vehicle. The vehicle scene is recognized through location information to determine the necessity of hiding the handle.

[0047] It should be noted that the determination of "determining whether the vehicle is in the garage based on the location information" and the determination of "determining whether the current time period is within the preset time period" can be used as parallel determination steps.

[0048] In the control method for hidden door handles in the present application, whether the door handle has a risk of freezing is judged based on the environmental information of the vehicle, and when the door handle has a risk of being frozen (that is, it is determined based on the environmental information that the vehicle's environment meets the preset conditions), the vehicle's location information and current time period are further obtained, and the necessity of hiding the door handle is judged based on the location information and the current time period, and the pop-up state of the door handle is controlled.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, before the step of obtaining the vehicle's environment information, the step further includes: obtaining a vehicle control instruction, wherein the vehicle control instruction includes a vehicle locking control instruction.

[0050] It can be understood that the "vehicle control instruction" can be a control instruction issued by the user, or it can be a control instruction automatically executed by the vehicle under specific working conditions. The specific working conditions can be: when the driver is monitored to leave the vehicle with the vehicle key for a predetermined period of time, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0051] 1 , when a vehicle locking control instruction is obtained, the vehicle's environment information is obtained, and when it is determined based on the environment information that the vehicle's environment meets a preset condition, the vehicle's location information and current time period are further obtained.

[0052] When a lock command is received, the user does not need to drive the vehicle and therefore does not need to consider wind resistance. If a door handle is at risk of freezing, the door handle can be controlled to pop out, preventing the user from being unable to open the door from the outside due to a frozen door handle.

[0053] It should be noted that the "current period" refers to the time node for obtaining the vehicle's environmental information, such as 16:00, 19:00, etc. The "preset period" refers to a time period, such as 17:00 one day to 06:00 the next day.

[0054] Specifically, when the vehicle is not in a garage and the current time period is within a preset time period, the door handle can be controlled to pop out. It is understandable that when the vehicle is not in a garage, the vehicle is likely to be in an open-air environment. In this case, the relationship between the current time period and the preset time period can be determined. If the current time period is within the preset time period, the door handle can be controlled to pop out.

[0055] For example, if the vehicle is parked in an open-air environment (i.e., not in a garage), and the current time period is 19:00 and the preset time period is 17:00 to 06:00 the next day, then the door handle will be controlled to pop out if the vehicle is not in a garage and the current time period is within the preset time period.

[0056] Preferably, the preset time period can be set to nighttime, i.e., during dark hours. When the vehicle is outdoors at night, the risk of the door handle being frozen is higher. Regardless of the vehicle's appearance and driving resistance, the door handle can be controlled to pop out, allowing the user to open the door from outside the vehicle.

[0057] In some embodiments, the preset time period can be set in real time based on the vehicle's surroundings. The surroundings can also include the vehicle's geographic coordinates to determine the vehicle's location. After the vehicle is connected to the network, the preset time period can be set based on the location's sunset and sunrise times to better align the preset time period with the nighttime period.

[0058] In a further embodiment of the present application, the environmental information includes the current temperature of the vehicle's environment and a predicted temperature within a preset future time. When the vehicle's environmental information is obtained after a vehicle lock control command is received, the "preset future time" may be a period of time after the vehicle locks, such as 6 hours or 12 hours.

[0059] At the same time, when one of the current temperature and the predicted temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, it is determined that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the preset condition, that is, there is a risk that the door handle of the vehicle is frozen.

[0060] The current temperature of the vehicle's environment refers to the ambient temperature outside the vehicle; the predicted temperature within a preset future time period refers to the ambient temperature within the time period after the vehicle is locked.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the first preset temperature is 0° C. When the current temperature of the vehicle's environment is lower than the first preset temperature, the door handle is at risk of freezing; when the predicted temperature within a preset time in the future is lower than the first preset temperature, the door handle is at risk of freezing.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, obtaining information about the vehicle's environment includes obtaining, via vehicle networking, a predicted temperature of the vehicle's environment within a preset future time. Thus, the current temperature of the vehicle's environment and the predicted temperature within a preset future time can be obtained via vehicle networking.

[0063] Furthermore, after the vehicle is connected to the Internet, it can obtain the weather forecast for the vehicle's location, such as the weather conditions (i.e., predicted temperature) for the next 12 hours (i.e., within a preset time in the future).

[0064] It is understood that the predicted temperature is a temperature threshold within a period of time, having a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature. When comparing the predicted temperature with the first preset temperature, the lowest temperature among the predicted temperatures can be compared with the first preset temperature. If the lowest temperature among the predicted temperatures is lower than the first preset temperature, it indicates that there is a risk of the door handle being frozen.

[0065] In some other embodiments of the present application, an outdoor temperature sensor obtains the current temperature of the environment in which the vehicle is located. The vehicle is provided with an outdoor temperature sensor, and the outdoor temperature sensor can be used to obtain the current temperature of the environment in which the vehicle is located.

[0066] It is understandable that the vehicle may be located in an environment with poor signal (such as an underground parking lot, etc.). At this time, the vehicle cannot obtain the current temperature of the vehicle's environment and the predicted temperature within a preset time in the future through the Internet. At this time, the vehicle's built-in outdoor temperature sensor can be used to detect the ambient temperature outside the vehicle to obtain the current temperature of the vehicle's environment.

[0067] Therefore, the present application can obtain the current temperature of the vehicle's environment and the predicted temperature within a preset time in the future through the Internet of Vehicles. It can also obtain the current temperature of the vehicle's environment through the vehicle's outdoor sensor. At the same time, based on the comparison results of the current temperature with the first preset temperature and the predicted temperature with the first preset temperature, it can be determined whether the vehicle's environment meets the preset conditions.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the step of obtaining vehicle location information and current time period includes: controlling the vehicle's radar detection and environmental identification, so as to obtain the vehicle's environmental information through the vehicle's radar detection, and after environmental identification, it can be determined whether the vehicle is in a garage environment.

[0069] Therefore, in this application, the vehicle's environment can be detected by the vehicle radar, and the vehicle's environment can be determined after environmental recognition. The method of obtaining vehicle position information is highly reliable.

[0070] It should be noted that the steps for obtaining vehicle location information are not limited to this, and the vehicle location information can also be obtained through devices such as vehicle-mounted cameras to improve the accuracy of the judgment of the vehicle location information.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, after obtaining the vehicle's environmental information, the control method further includes: when it is determined based on the environmental information that the vehicle's environment does not meet a preset condition, controlling the door handle to hide.

[0072] It is understandable that when the vehicle's environment does not meet the preset conditions, it means that there is no risk of the door handle being frozen, and it can be popped out smoothly during subsequent use. At this time, the door handle can be controlled to be hidden.

[0073] Among them, satisfying the preset conditions means that: the current temperature and the predicted temperature are not less than the first preset temperature. At this time, the temperature in the vehicle's environment is high. It can be determined that the vehicle's environment does not meet the preset conditions and there is no risk of the door handle being frozen.

[0074] As shown in FIG2 , in some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle control instruction further includes a start control instruction. When the vehicle control instruction obtained is a start control instruction, the door handle is controlled to pop out.

[0075] When the door handle does not pop out, the temperature of the vehicle door handle is acquired; when the temperature of the door handle is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature, a fault warning is issued; and when the temperature of the door handle is less than the second preset temperature, the door handle is heated.

[0076] After the door handle temperature reaches the second preset temperature, the door handle is controlled to pop out again. If the door handle does not pop out, it is determined that the door handle is faulty and a fault warning can be issued.

[0077] It is understandable that when the door handle is controlled to pop out and the door handle does not pop out smoothly, there is a risk that the door handle is frozen. The temperature of the door handle can be increased by heating to thaw the door handle so that the door handle can pop out smoothly.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, after detecting that the door handle fails to pop out smoothly, the control method includes obtaining environmental information of the vehicle, and determining whether the door handle is frozen based on the environmental information, and heating the door handle when it is determined that the door handle is frozen. If it is determined based on the environmental information that the door handle is not frozen, a fault warning is directly issued.

[0079] Among them, judging whether the door handle is frozen based on environmental information includes: comparing the current temperature of the vehicle with a preset temperature value (such as 0°C). If the current temperature is lower than the preset temperature value, it means that the vehicle door is frozen, and the door handle can be heated to increase the temperature of the door handle.

[0080] Furthermore, after the door handle is heated, when the temperature of the door handle reaches a second preset temperature, the door handle is sufficiently thawed and heating can be stopped. Referring to FIG. 2 , when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor on the door handle is greater than the second preset temperature (e.g., 20° C.), the heating unit in the door handle can be controlled to shut down.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the door handle 1 includes a shell 11 and a heating element 12 (i.e., the above-mentioned heating unit). The shell 11 has an installation cavity, and a positioning column 111 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 11. A positioning hole 121 is provided on the heating element 12. The positioning hole 121 can be positioned and matched with the positioning column 111 to arrange the heating element 12 in the shell 11.

[0082] It should be noted that after the heating element 12 is inserted and positioned with the positioning column 111 through the positioning hole 121, it can be welded by hot melting to fix the heating element 12 to the shell 11. The connection method is simple and reliable.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the heating element 12 is constructed as a graphene heating film. The graphene heating film has high heating efficiency and uniform heating, which can quickly increase the temperature at the door handle 1 and improve the thawing efficiency at the door handle 1.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the shell 11 is also provided with an installation groove 112, which is used to install a control unit (such as a PCB board, etc.) so that the control unit is fixed in the shell 11 through the installation groove 112, and the control unit can be electrically connected to the heating element 12 through a wiring harness to further control the working state of the heating element 12.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, a temperature sensor is further provided in the shell 11, which can detect the temperature of the door handle 1 and obtain the real-time temperature of the door handle 1 through the temperature sensor, so as to compare the temperature of the door handle 1 with a second preset temperature.

[0086] The control process of the hidden door handle according to the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to FIG1 :

[0087] When the vehicle stops driving and the driver outputs a lock signal by pressing the lock button of the vehicle remote control key, the vehicle networking system collects weather information (i.e., the predicted temperature within a preset time in the future), and the vehicle's outdoor temperature sensor collects temperature data (i.e., the current temperature of the vehicle's environment).

[0088] Furthermore, the current temperature and the predicted temperature are compared with a first preset temperature to determine whether the environment of the vehicle satisfies a preset condition, such as whether at least one of the current temperature and the preset temperature is lower than 0°C.

[0089] When it is determined that the vehicle's environment meets the preset conditions, radar detection is used to identify the environment to determine whether the vehicle is in an outdoor dark environment or a garage environment.

[0090] When it is determined that the vehicle is in the garage or when it is determined that the vehicle is not in the garage and the current time period is within the preset time period, the door handle is controlled to pop out (ie, the door handle is not hidden).

[0091] 2 describes the control process of the hidden door handle according to the embodiment of the present application:

[0092] When the driver outputs a start signal by pressing the start button of the vehicle remote control key, the outdoor sensor detects the vehicle's environmental information (such as the current temperature of the vehicle's environment) and detects whether the door handle pops out.

[0093] If the door handle does not pop out, the current temperature of the vehicle's environment is compared with a preset temperature value (e.g., 0°C) to determine whether the door handle is faulty, and a fault reminder is issued if a fault is determined.

[0094] When it is determined that the door handle is frozen, the heating unit is controlled to heat the door handle, and the temperature of the door handle is detected by the temperature sensor, and the current temperature of the door handle is compared with a second preset temperature.

[0095] Furthermore, when the temperature of the door handle is greater than a second preset temperature, the heating unit is controlled to be turned off.

[0096] According to the control device of the hidden door handle in the embodiment of the present application, the control device includes: an acquisition module for acquiring environmental information of the vehicle, and suitable for acquiring the location information and current time period of the vehicle when it is determined according to the environmental information that the environment in which the vehicle is located meets the preset conditions; a control module for controlling the door handle to pop out when it is determined according to the location information that the vehicle is in the garage, or when it is determined according to the location information that the vehicle is not in the garage and the current time period is in the preset time period.

[0097] It should be noted that the control device can be used to execute the above-mentioned control method of the hidden door handle, and the effect is the same as the control method, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle includes the above-mentioned control device. By providing the above-mentioned control device for the hidden door handle, the risk of the door handle being frozen can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience of driving the vehicle.

[0099] According to the computer-readable storage medium of the embodiment of the present application, a control program for the hidden door handle is stored on the computer-readable storage medium. When the control program for the hidden door handle is executed by the processor, the above-mentioned control method for the hidden door handle is implemented.
