Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in the foregoing, when braking is performed during the driving of a vehicle, a driver may perform emergency braking by stepping on a brake pedal, thereby preventing a traffic accident. However, in practical applications, when the stepping on the brake pedal of the vehicle fails due to corrosion or the like, it is often difficult to effectively perform braking, which may lead to traffic accidents.
Based on this, the present application provides a vehicle braking system that can be used to solve the problems in the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, the braking system 10 includes: an emergency brake button 101 and a body stabilization system 102. An emergency brake button 101 for sending an emergency brake signal to the vehicle body stabilization system 102 when the emergency brake button 101 is triggered; and the vehicle body stabilizing system 102 is used for applying brake pressure which is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel when receiving the emergency brake signal.
The type of the vehicle is not limited herein, and may be, for example, an electric powered vehicle using electric power as an energy source, a fuel-powered vehicle using gasoline or diesel oil as an energy source, or a hybrid vehicle. The size of the vehicle is not limited, and may be, for example, a car, a truck, or the like.
The emergency brake button 101 may be configured to send an emergency brake signal to the vehicle body stabilization system 102 when the emergency brake button 101 is triggered, so that the vehicle body stabilization system 102 can brake according to the emergency brake signal.
For example, when a sudden situation is encountered during the driving of the vehicle, the driver may press or touch the emergency brake button 101, so as to send an emergency brake signal to the vehicle body stabilization system 102 for emergency braking.
In practical applications, the emergency brake button 101 may be a physical button, which may be disposed on a console of a vehicle, so as to facilitate pressing by a driver in an emergency. The emergency brake button 101 may be a virtual button, such as when a touch screen (e.g., a center screen in a vehicle) is included in the vehicle, the emergency brake button 101 may be a virtual button on the touch screen, and the driver may perform emergency braking by touching the virtual button.
The vehicle body stabilization system 102 is an electronic device that greatly improves the braking stability of the vehicle, such as the stability of the vehicle body when the vehicle is turning or accelerating. In practical applications, the vehicle body stabilization system 102 may be an electronic Stability control system esc (electronic Stability control), an electronic Stability program esp (electronic Stability program), or another vehicle body stabilization system.
The body stabilization system 102 may include a signal receiving unit, a control unit, and various sensors. The current running state of the vehicle, such as a fast running state, a slow running state, a deceleration running state, an acceleration running state, a straight running state, a turning state, or the like, may be monitored by these sensors. For example, the speed rotation of each wheel is monitored by a wheel speed sensor provided to determine whether the vehicle is in a fast-running state or a slow-running state. Monitoring the current running acceleration of the vehicle through the set acceleration sensor so as to determine whether the vehicle is in a deceleration running state or an acceleration running state; monitoring the current yaw rate of the vehicle through a yaw rate sensor so as to determine whether the vehicle is in a turning state or a straight-going state; the current longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle is monitored by a longitudinal acceleration sensor.
The signal receiving unit may be configured to receive an emergency braking signal transmitted to the vehicle body stabilization system 102 when the emergency braking button 101 is activated. The control unit can control braking, such as sending a control signal, after the signal receiving unit receives the emergency braking signal, and applying a braking pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to a brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel by controlling a brake hard pipe in the vehicle.
When a vehicle has a plurality of wheels, it is generally necessary to arrange corresponding brake wheel cylinders for the respective wheels, and each brake wheel cylinder has a corresponding brake pipe for brake control. After the signal receiving unit in the vehicle body stabilization system 102 receives the emergency braking signal, the control unit may control to apply a braking pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinder of one of the wheels, apply a braking pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinders of a plurality of the wheels, or apply a braking pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinders corresponding to the wheels respectively. For example, when the vehicle has 4 tires, the brake pressures greater than or equal to the preset threshold value may be applied to the brake wheel cylinders of the 4 wheels respectively corresponding to the vehicle.
In addition, for the brake pressure greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the brake pressure greater than or equal to the preset threshold can realize emergency braking of the vehicle within a certain distance, such as braking within 3 meters, braking within 5 meters, and braking within 7 meters. The size of the preset threshold can be determined according to actual conditions, and the vehicle only needs to be braked emergently within a certain distance.
The magnitude of the preset threshold may be generally set according to the maximum braking pressure that the vehicle body stabilization system 102 can apply to the brake wheel cylinders of the wheels, and in practical applications, the preset threshold may be set to 70% to 100% of the maximum braking pressure, such as 70%, 75%, 78%, 83%, 87%, 90%, 93%, 95%, 97%, 100%, or other values between 70% and 100%. Generally, the larger the ratio, the better the emergency braking effect that can be achieved, and the shorter the braking distance; the smaller the ratio, the smaller the braking loss for the vehicle, which can be set in connection with the actual situation.
Of course, it is also possible to empirically set a target amount of brake pressure (also greater than or equal to a preset threshold brake pressure, such as 100% of the maximum brake pressure) that is applied to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel for emergency braking when the vehicle body stabilization system 102 receives the emergency braking signal. The existing braking data, such as the corresponding relation data of the braking distance and the preset threshold value, can also be used to generate a large number of model training samples, so that the model generated by the model training samples is used to determine a target braking pressure for controlling the emergency braking of the vehicle, and the emergency braking is performed by applying the target braking pressure to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, since the current driving state of the vehicle may be different when emergency braking is performed, such as during acceleration driving, turning, fast driving, and the like, the vehicle body stabilization system 102 may apply a braking pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel in combination with the current driving state of the vehicle when receiving the emergency braking signal and applying the braking pressure greater than or equal to the preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel. For example, according to the current running state of the vehicle, a brake pressure that is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value and matches the current running state is applied to a brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel.
For example, when the vehicle is turning, a certain brake pressure (referred to as a first brake pressure) greater than or equal to a preset threshold value is set, so that emergency braking is performed to the first brake pressure of the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel; setting a second brake pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value when the vehicle is running fast, thereby applying the second brake pressure to a brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel for emergency braking; setting a third brake pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value when the vehicle is running with acceleration, thereby applying the third brake pressure to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel for emergency braking; when the vehicle is in other driving states, corresponding brake pressures are respectively set, so that emergency braking in different driving states is realized. For setting different driving states to the same brake pressure, the brake pressure needs to be set to be larger due to the fact that emergency braking needs to be realized aiming at different driving states, different brake pressures are set aiming at different current driving states of the vehicle, and loss caused by the fact that the brake pressure is set to be larger for the vehicle can be avoided.
Adopt the braking system that this application embodiment provided, this braking system includes: emergency brake button and body stable system, wherein: an emergency brake button for sending an emergency brake signal to the body stabilization system when the emergency brake button is triggered; and the vehicle body stabilizing system is used for applying brake pressure which is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel when receiving the emergency brake signal. Therefore, even when the brake pedal of the vehicle breaks down due to corrosion and the like, the driver can still apply the brake pressure which is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel through the vehicle body stabilizing system by pressing or touching the emergency brake button, so that the vehicle can be decelerated emergently and then stopped, emergency stop is realized, and the risk of traffic accidents is reduced.
In addition, in the application, the body stabilizing system 102 such as the electronic stability control system ESC or the electronic stability system ESP is used for realizing emergency braking, and compared with an emergency braking mode in which a brake pedal is stepped, the body stabilizing system 102 is used for keeping the stability of the vehicle during braking, so that the personal safety of a driver can be further protected.
The above is a specific description of the vehicle braking system provided by the embodiment of the present application, and based on the same inventive concept, the present application may also provide a vehicle braking method based on the braking system, and may also be used to solve the problems in the prior art. In addition, for the method, if unclear, reference may also be made to the corresponding content in the brake system embodiment. The specific flow diagram of the vehicle braking method is shown in fig. 2, and the method comprises the following steps:
step S21: the driver presses the emergency brake button.
Step S22: the emergency brake button is sent an emergency brake signal to the body stabilization system.
Step S23: the vehicle body stabilization system applies a brake pressure greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to a brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel.
When a driver meets an emergency situation, the driver can step on the brake pedal according to driving habits to perform emergency braking. If the brake pedal is also in failure, the driver can press the emergency brake button (of course, the emergency brake button can be pressed for emergency braking even if the brake pedal is not in failure), and at the moment, as the emergency brake button is triggered, an emergency brake signal can be sent to the vehicle body stabilizing system, so that the vehicle body stabilizing system applies brake pressure which is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value to the brake wheel cylinder of at least one wheel, and the emergency braking is realized.
