Detailed Description

The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic parking switch according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which is used to solve the technical problem in the related art that it is difficult to correctly detect the operating state of the electronic parking switch. As shown in fig. 1, the electronic parking switch includes: a switching circuit 10; a detection circuit 20; and a control unit 30.

The switches in the switching circuit 10 have three operating states and an error state, and the three normal states include: 1. the switch is in a natural state; 2. the switch is in a pull-up state; 3. the switch is in a released state.

The detection circuit 20 is connected to the switch circuit 10, and the detection circuit 20 is configured to detect an operating state of a switch in the switch circuit 10. The control unit 30 is connected to the detection circuit 20, and the detection circuit 20 includes an input end and an output end connected to the control unit 30.

The control unit 30 may input a pulse detection signal to the detection circuit 20 through the input end, and the detection circuit 20 detects the operating state of the switch in the switch circuit 10 according to the pulse detection signal and outputs a switch state signal to the control unit 30 through the output end, where the switch state signal is also a pulse signal.

That is, when the control unit 30 inputs the pulse detection signal to the detection circuit 20 through the input terminal, the switch state signal output by the output terminal is the pulse detection signal that can be input correspondingly when the switch is in the normal operating state, that is, the operating state of the switch can be detected according to the pulse detection signal and the switch state signal. For example, since the switch state signal is also a pulse signal, the operating state and the error state of the switch can be obtained by comparing the input pulse detection signal with the truth table.

Alternatively, the Control Unit 30 may be an MCU (micro controller Unit) or an ECU (Electronic Control Unit). When the control unit 30 is an MCU, the control unit 30 includes a port connected to the in-vehicle lan, and the MCU can send the pulse detection signal and the switch status signal to the ECU through the network port, and the ECU compares the pulse detection signal with a truth table to determine what operating state the switch is in and whether the switch is in an error state.

The EPB switch circuit is different from the EPB switch circuit in the related art in that the switch circuit, the detection circuit and the control unit are integrated, the state of the switch can be judged through the pulse sequence of the input and output signals of the detection circuit and can be diagnosed, no matter what state the switch is in, the switch is in fault as long as the input and output pulse sequence is detected to be different from a truth table of a corresponding normal state, the technical problem that the working state of an electronic parking switch is difficult to detect correctly in the related art is solved, the reliability of a vehicle system is improved, and potential safety hazards of a vehicle in the driving process are reduced.

When the vehicle is in a vehicle condition that does not need to detect the electronic parking switch, such as being in an off state or not in a driving state, the control unit 30 may input a low level through the controlled terminal Ctrl, so that the third transistor Q3 is in an off state, and the power supply of the detection circuit 20 no longer supplies power to the detection circuit, thereby saving energy. When the vehicle is in a vehicle condition requiring detection of the electronic parking switch, for example, in a driving state, the control unit 30 may input a high level through the controlled terminal Ctrl, so that the third transistor Q3 is in a conducting state, and the power supply of the detection circuit 20 supplies power to the detection circuit.
