Radar for backing car dwindles the method and the device of dead detecting angle
Technical field
The invention relates to method and device that a kind of radar for backing car dwindles dead detecting angle, refer to that especially a kind of the utilization changes cooperation channel switching of inductor emission ultrasound wave angle and method and the device of mistiming principle to dwindle dead detecting angle.
Background technology
When general radar for backing car is worked, be barrier to be complied with far and near difference to the distance of vehicle be distinguished into several sections, when barrier dropped on different distance segment, radar for backing car was with different auditory tone cues drivers.And when barrier entered nearest section, radar for backing car was promptly noted the distance of vehicle to barrier with very rapid auditory tone cues driver.
The sensing range of relevant radar for backing car, be rectangle (as shown in Figure 4) ideally, wherein in the rectangular extent near the tailstock two inductor A, B section a1 recently, apart from inferior closely, far away and farthest the rectangular extent of the rectangular extent of two inductor A, B then is time nearly section a2, section a3 far away, section a4 farthest in regular turn.
Yet in fact the ultrasonic signal that radar for backing car sends is propagated along curved surface, and in Fig. 4, the ultrasound wave that inductor A sends is fan-shaped propagation, and the ultrasound wave that inductor B sends also is fan-shaped propagation.In this case, when barrier is positioned at the relative exterior lateral area b2 of regional b1 that two fan-shaped emitting areas overlap and two sector regions, radar for backing car will judge barrier for being positioned at time closely section a2, and give the prompting of driver's mistake; When barrier is arranged in the regional b3 that Fig. 4 two fan-shaped emitting areas do not contain, then radar for backing car will detect the situation that occurs failing to report less than any object.
Obviously, the problems referred to above will cause radar for backing car gross error to occur when detecting obstacle distance, especially when barrier is positioned at nearest section a1, and any wrong report or fail to report all and may cause the vehicle clobber.The key that addresses this problem is to dwindle the area in zones such as b1, b2 among Fig. 4, b3.As shown in Figure 5, if can be with the surveyed area of inductor by the fan-shaped ellipse that becomes, the wrong report of radar for backing car and rate of failing to report can significantly reduce.
From the above, when the sensing range of radar for backing car is as shown in Figure 6: when radar for backing car detects wherein a sector region, receive the ultrasound wave of himself launching by inductor A emission ultrasound wave and by inductor A, radar for backing car calculates the distance (hyperacoustic velocity of propagation be 340m/s) of barrier to radar for backing car according to sending ultrasound wave and the mistiming that receives reflection wave; When radar for backing car detects another sector region, receive the ultrasound wave that himself sends by inductor B emission ultrasound wave and by inductor B, radar for backing car is according to sending ultrasound wave and the mistiming that receives reflection wave, and the dyscalculia thing is to the distance of radar for backing car; To receive ultrasound wave by inductor B by inductor A emission ultrasound wave during radar for backing car surveyed area b1, radar for backing car sends the mistiming that ultrasound wave and inductor B receive reflection wave according to inductor A, with the distance of disturbance in judgement thing to radar for backing car, radar for backing car can't detect the barrier that is positioned at dead angle area b3, so must dwindle the size of this dead angle area b3 as far as possible.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, fundamental purpose of the present invention is promptly providing a kind of radar for backing car that can effectively dwindle the dead detecting angle zone.
Desiring to reach the major technique means that aforementioned purpose takes is to adopt the bigger inductor of emission angle to replace the less inductor of emission angle, effectively to dwindle the scope of dead angle area.
Shown in Fig. 7 A, Fig. 7 B, the emission angle of inductor shown in Fig. 7 B is greater than the emission angle of inductor shown in Fig. 7 A, so the regional b3 among Fig. 7 B is less than the regional b3 of Fig. 7 A.In fact, because ripple has the existence of characteristics such as reflection, diffraction, ultrasound wave is not strictly along rectilinear propagation, so the regional b3 among Fig. 7 B in fact also can further dwindle.In other words, see through and select suitable inductor, dead angle area b3 can be narrowed down to the acceptable scope.
The present invention's time purpose is providing a kind of radar for backing car that can effectively avoid misoperation:
After the regional b3 among Fig. 7 B narrowed down to a certain degree, inductor A sends ultrasound wave may directly propagate into inductor B, and by inductor A emission ultrasound wave, and caused wrong report when receiving reflection wave by inductor B.Suppose that inductor A is ncm to the distance of inductor B, hyperacoustic velocity of propagation is 340m/s, so ultrasound wave directly propagates into the shared time t=n/34 of inductor B by inductor A.Because any leg-of-mutton both sides sum is permanent in the 3rd limit.So no matter barrier is positioned at any point of rear view of vehicle, its signal reflex that inductor A is sent to time of inductor B all greater than time t.
Around this principle, when radar for backing car is operated in inductor A emission and inductor B receptive pattern, radar for backing car is not handled any reflection wave in the t time, and radar for backing car calculates and plays the mistiming of receiving reflection wave constantly from t, and according to the distance of this mistiming dyscalculia thing to radar for backing car.
Suppose that barrier A is x, is y (as shown in Figure 8) to the distance of inductor B to the distance of inductor A, according to the character of ellipse, in the regional b4 any point to the distance of inductor A and inductor B with should be smaller or equal to x+y.Around this principle, if when radar for backing car was in the mode of operation that inductor A emission, inductor B receive, its detected obstacle distance was m, suppose that inductor A is k to the air line distance of inductor B, then ought
During k<m<x+y, can think that barrier is positioned at first section, to improve the accuracy of detecting, reduce the probability of wrong report by this.
Another object of the present invention is providing a kind of radar for backing car control circuit that can effectively dwindle the dead detecting angle zone, and it includes:
One central processing unit is made up of single-chip and peripheral circuit thereof, has functions such as the characteristic frequency of generation pulse wave, computed range, control alarm and selective channel;
One warning circuit mainly is made of hummer, and under the control of central processing unit, with the distance of different sound prompting drivers apart from barrier, distance is near more, and the sound of hummer is compact more;
One booster circuit, with the pulse wave signal of central processing unit output boost handle after, its output terminal is to be connected with the ultrasonic sensing device, launches ultrasound wave to drive the ultrasonic sensing device;
One channel selectivity circuit is under the control of central processing unit, selects the ultra-weak electronic signal (reflection wave signal) from special ultrasonic ripple inductor;
One amplifying circuit is that channel selectivity circuit selects the ultra-weak electronic signal (reflection wave signal) of the special ultrasonic ripple inductor of exporting to carry out processing and amplifying.
This amplifying circuit will amplify from the ultra-weak electronic signal of ultrasonic sensing device, and the electric signal after will amplifying is sent into central processing unit and handled;
The workflow of central processing unit is as follows again: it makes the ultrasonic sensing device send ultrasound wave with the frequency of 40KHz, after disappearing, the aftershock of wait inductor detects its reflection wave signal immediately, have subwave and be reflected back toward inductor because of running into barrier in the ultrasonic propagation way, so need only calculate and send ultrasound wave, can calculate the distance of barrier according to the aerial velocity of propagation 340m/s of sound wave to inductor to the mistiming of receiving reflection wave.
The ultrasonic sensing device transmits and receives ultrasound wave in the round-robin mode under the control of central controller again, and make and have only ultrasonic sensing device emission ultrasound wave in each time, also have only inductor to receive ultrasound wave, see through channel selectivity circuit again and switch from the reflection wave signal of ultrasonic sensing device and be sent to amplifying circuit and amplify.

Can find out the circuit structure that the present invention is concrete and the principle of work of each main circuit by above-mentioned explanation, as for central processing unit 10.
See also shown in Figure 3, after the radar for backing car energising, promptly carry out initialization, and make hummer send " dripping ", " dripping " two by central processing unit 10, the expression radar for backing car is started working, and central processing unit 10 carries out the oneself to inductor immediately and detects (detecting the aftershock situation of each inductor).
After the inductor oneself detected and finishes, inductor 1 launches ultrasound wave and by inductor 1 detection of reflected ripple, radar for backing car is according to sending ultrasound wave to detecting the distance of the used Time Calculation barrier of reflection wave to inductor 1; Inductor 2 emission ultrasound waves and by inductor 2 detection of reflected ripples then, radar for backing car is again according to sending ultrasound wave to detecting the distance of the used Time Calculation barrier of reflection wave to inductor 2.
If less than the critical value that preestablishes nearest section, radar for backing car judges that promptly barrier is positioned at nearest section and drive the hummer alarm to barrier to the distance of inductor 1 or inductor 2.
If barrier to the distance of inductor 1 and inductor 2 all greater than the critical value of section recently, inductor 1 sends ultrasound wave and receives ultrasound wave by inductor 2, radar for backing car is according to sending ultrasound wave to detecting the used Time Calculation distance of reflection wave, if this distance is greater than 2 the air line distance and less than predefined value x+y (referring to the associated description of Fig. 8) from inductor 1 to inductor, radar for backing car judgement barrier is positioned at nearest section and drive hummer and alarm; Otherwise radar for backing car is two minimum value and value relatively, and with minimum value as actual range, the critical value of actual range and predefined each segmentation relatively to determine the sectional area at barrier place, drives the hummer alarm according to the segmentation situation more then.
Radar for backing car constantly repeats said process and cuts off the power supply up to radar.
Can find out circuit structure of the present invention through above-mentioned explanation, it is the workflow of control maincenter that the circuit working principle reaches with central processing unit 10, with these designs is to adopt the bigger ultrasonic sensing device of emission angle to replace the less ultrasonic sensing device of emission angle, shown in Fig. 7 B, when adopting the bigger ultrasonic sensing device of emission angle, two inductor A, present less angle between the fan-shaped emitting area of B and the tailstock, in other words, the dead angle area b3 do not contained mutually of two fan-shaped emitting areas is far beyond adopting the dead angle area b3 of less emission angle ultrasonic sensing device significantly to dwindle among Fig. 7 A.
Again for cooperating the change of two inductor emission angles, the present invention makes has only an inductor to transmit in the same time, also has only an inductor received signal, and the reflected signal that detects in the special time ignored, thus, remove the dead detecting angle effectively to dwindle radar for backing car, more can get rid of and contingently fail to report, report by mistake the facts, and effectively guarantee the detecting accuracy of radar for backing car.
