Background
With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the automobile instrument is also continuously reformed, functions are unprecedented and the visual effect is more attractive. However, as the instrument panel works for a long time, especially under the conditions of high brightness and high temperature, the temperature of the TFT screen can reach over 90 ℃, and some components in the instrument panel can be damaged due to high temperature, which causes the abnormal function of part of the instrument panel.
Some solutions commonly used at present are reasonable design on appearance structure of an instrument panel, such as increasing heat dissipation holes, or attaching heat conducting fins on a chip to conduct heat to a metal shell, and both reduce the temperature of a TFT screen by increasing heat dissipation. Secondly, a thermistor is arranged in the circuit, and when the circuit works normally, the thermistor has low temperature and small resistance and cannot block the current from passing through when being connected in series in the circuit; when the temperature of the thermistor rises, the resistance is increased, the current in the circuit is rapidly reduced, and further the temperature of the TFT screen is reduced, so that the function of protecting the circuit is realized.
Although the current solutions can reduce the temperature of the TFT screen, the solutions are passive cooling measures, and the high protection effect on the instrument panel is limited.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
A backlight processing method of an instrument panel, a computer-readable storage medium 3, a backlight processing device 4, and a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 1 to 9.
As shown above, since the current solution makes the current solution by changing the structure of the dashboard and the hardware structure, the temperature protection measures for the devices inside the dashboard are passive, and the prior art does not make improvements in the software of the dashboard to reduce the temperature of the dashboard.
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a backlight processing method of an instrument panel, which can effectively and dynamically control the temperature of the instrument panel by controlling the brightness of a backlight lamp 2 on software, ensures the normal work of the instrument panel within a reasonable range, and has good universality and low cost.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a backlight processing method of an instrument panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the backlight processing method of the instrument panel may include:
s1: acquiring the current temperature of the standard 1;
it can be understood that, the instrument panel works under the high temperature condition, some heat-labile components in the instrument panel are easy to be damaged, and in order to ensure the normal work of the instrument panel, the temperature of the instrument panel is required to be ensured not to be too high. In the scheme of this application, after having selected suitable standardization 1, through the current temperature of tracking standardization 1, can track whether the overall temperature of panel board is too high. It will also be appreciated that the heat from the instrument panel is mainly from ambient heat (e.g. heat absorbed by direct sunlight), and from the heat generated by the internal components when the instrument panel is in operation, and the obtained current temperature of the target 1 reflects the current overall temperature condition of the instrument panel under the dual actions of its own operation and the external environment.
Specifically, the index 1 may be a component selected from the existing structure of the instrument panel (for example, a thermistor in the backlight circuit), or may be a component added to the instrument panel to adapt to the present solution (for example, a temperature sensor disposed on a TFT screen); the index 1 may be the most temperature sensitive part of the instrument panel or the easiest part of the instrument panel to measure, and the index 1 is not limited herein. The current temperature may be a temperature reflected by a certain characteristic of the component or may be a temperature of the component directly detected by the detecting member.
S2: obtaining the maximum limited brightness of the corresponding backlight lamp 2 according to the current temperature;
s3: when the current brightness of the backlight 2 is greater than the maximum limit brightness, the brightness of the backlight 2 is adjusted to the maximum limit brightness.
During the operation of the instrument panel, the heat generation amount of the backlight 2 is large relative to the total heat generation amount of the instrument panel. Therefore, in the scheme of the application, the total heat productivity of the instrument panel can be limited by actively limiting the brightness of the backlight 2, so that the temperature of the instrument panel is limited. The maximum limited brightness of the backlight 2 corresponding to the current temperature in step S2 is the maximum brightness that the backlight 2 can reach when the standard 1 is at the current temperature, on the premise of ensuring the stable operation and the working life of the instrument panel, and the maximum brightness can be obtained through experiments or calculation, simulation, and the like. The maximum limit brightness of the backlight 2 used in actual use may be adaptively adjusted based on the above-described experiment, or a numerical value obtained by calculation, simulation, or the like.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the NTC thermistor in the backlight circuit is selected as the calibration 1 in the method, and the obtained current resistance temperature of the NTC thermistor is taken as the current temperature. In this method, the brightness of the backlight 2 is adjusted by adjusting the current of the backlight 2, the brightness of the backlight 2 is proportional to the current of the backlight 2, and the maximum limit brightness of the backlight 2 at a certain temperature is equal to the ratio of the rated brightness of the backlight 2 multiplied by the current limit at the temperature. Based on this, a corresponding relation graph of the NTC temperature and the current limit ratio can be obtained through experiments, calculation, simulation, and the like, and when the NTC thermistor is at a certain temperature, the current of the backlight 2 can be controlled within the corresponding current limit ratio, so that the brightness of the backlight 2 at the temperature can be limited within the maximum limit brightness. For example, when the temperature of the NTC thermistor is 92 degrees, the corresponding current limit ratio is 60%, and after the current of the backlight 2 is adjusted to 60% according to step S3, the luminance of the backlight 2 can reach a level of 60% of the rated luminance, thereby greatly limiting the amount of heat generation of the backlight 2, and controlling the overall temperature so that the temperature of the index 1 does not excessively rise. If the current temperature of the index 1 continues to rise, for example, to 94 degrees, and the current limit ratio is 30%, the brightness of the backlight 2 can reach a level of 30% of the rated brightness after the current of the backlight 2 is adjusted to 30% according to step S3, so that the heat generation amount of the backlight 2 can be further limited, and the overall temperature can be controlled. With such an arrangement, the luminance of the backlight 2 can be dynamically controlled in real time according to the NTC temperature-current limit ratio map, so that the dynamic real-time control of the temperature of the instrument panel can be achieved.
According to the backlight processing method of the instrument panel, after the proper calibration piece 1 is selected, the current temperature of the instrument panel can be reflected through the current temperature of the calibration piece 1, and then the brightness of the backlight 2 is limited within the maximum limited brightness limited by the current temperature, so that the heat productivity of the backlight 2 is limited, and the temperature of the instrument panel is further reduced. The mode of reducing the temperature of the instrument panel by limiting the brightness of the backlight 2 can actively reduce the temperature when the temperature of the instrument panel is not too high, and the temperature protection measures can well protect devices in the instrument panel. The method can effectively and dynamically control the temperature of the instrument panel by controlling the brightness of the backlight lamp 2 on software, and the temperature is controlled within a reasonable range, so that the normal work of the instrument panel is ensured.
As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S3 further includes step S4: when the current brightness of the backlight 2 is equal to or less than the maximum limit brightness, the brightness of the backlight 2 is kept unchanged. When the temperature of the calibration piece 1 does not exceed the critical temperature value, the brightness of the backlight 2 is not limited, and the backlight 2 is turned on according to the preset brightness or according to the selection of an operator (such as a driver); when the temperature of the index 1 exceeds the critical temperature value, the brightness of the backlight 2 is limited, and the brightness of the backlight 2 is limited within the maximum limit brightness. For example, the preset brightness of the backlight 2 is the rated brightness, and when the temperature of the index 1 does not exceed the critical temperature value, the backlight 2 is turned on according to the preset brightness.
Taking the example shown in fig. 6 as an example, when the NTC thermistor is within 90 degrees, the current limiting ratio is 100%, that is, the current of the backlight 2 is not limited, that is, the brightness of the backlight 2 is not limited. When the NTC thermistor exceeds 90 degrees, the current limit ratio decreases, that is, the current of the backlight 2 is limited, thereby limiting the brightness of the backlight 2.
As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, step S5 is further included in step S1, and when the obtained current temperature is equal to or higher than the limit value, the backlight 2 is turned off; when the obtained current temperature is less than the limit value, the above steps S2, S3 are performed again. It will be appreciated that when the current temperature of the scale 1 exceeds a limit and the backlight circuit is re-operated to illuminate the backlight 2, some components in the instrument panel are more susceptible to damage. Moreover, when the temperature is too high, the brightness of the backlight 2 needs to be adjusted to be extremely low without burning the circuit, and the brightness is too weak to allow an operator to distinguish symbols, patterns, and the like on the instrument panel, and the lamp is not meaningful. Therefore, the limit value is set in the scheme, the limit value is a preset temperature value, the maximum value allowed to be reached by the current temperature of the calibration piece in the backlight brightness adjustment process is reached, when the obtained current temperature is larger than or equal to the limit value, the backlight 2 is turned off, the backlight circuit does not work any more, and all devices of the instrument can be protected. After the temperature drops, the brightness of the backlight 2 is readjusted.
As in the example of fig. 6, when the temperature of the NTC thermistor exceeds 97 degrees, the backlight 2 is directly turned off for protection.
As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment of the present invention, in step S1, the thermistor connected to the backlight 2 is used as the index 1, and the obtained current resistance temperature of the thermistor is used as the current temperature. In this scheme, the thermistor is connected in series to the backlight 2, and optionally, the thermistor is an NTC thermistor, also called negative temperature coefficient thermistor, which is a sensor resistor whose resistance value decreases with increasing temperature.
Further, the step S1 of obtaining the current temperature of the target 1 includes the following steps:
s101, acquiring a current AD value of the thermistor;
and S102, acquiring the current resistance temperature of the thermistor according to the current AD value.
Here, the thermistor outputs an analog value in operation, and the AD value is a value of a digital signal converted from an analog signal. The current AD value of the thermistor can be directly acquired by the backlight circuit, and there is a certain corresponding relationship between the AD value of the thermistor and the temperature of the thermistor, which is disclosed in the prior art and is not described herein again. The solution here is to obtain the current resistance temperature of the thermistor through the AD value, that is, obtain the current temperature of the target 1 in step S1.
In order to implement the above embodiments, the present invention further proposes a computer readable storage medium 3 having a backlight brightness processing program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements a backlight processing method of an instrument panel as in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5.
Specifically, the computer-readable storage medium 3 stores a backlight brightness processing program, and during operation, the computer-readable storage medium 3 obtains the current temperature of the index 1, and when the current temperature of the index 1 is greater than a limit value, the backlight 2 is turned off to rapidly reduce the temperature of the instrument panel; when the current temperature of the index 1 is less than the limit value, the maximum limit brightness of the corresponding backlight 2 is determined according to the current temperature of the index 1, the brightness of the current backlight 2 is obtained and compared with the maximum limit brightness of the backlight 2 corresponding to the current temperature. When the current brightness of the backlight 2 is greater than the maximum limit brightness, the brightness of the backlight 2 is adjusted to the maximum limit brightness of the corresponding backlight 2 obtained according to the current temperature of the index 1, and when the current brightness of the backlight 2 is less than or equal to the maximum limit brightness, the brightness of the backlight 2 is kept unchanged.
Further, in operation, the computer readable storage medium 3 obtains the current AD value of the NTC thermistor and performs calculation to obtain the current temperature of the thermistor, so as to determine the current temperature of the instrument panel.
In summary, the computer-readable storage medium 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the brightness of the backlight 2 according to the temperature of the calibration piece 1 on the basis of software, so as to effectively and dynamically control the temperature of the instrument panel within a reasonable range, and the adjustment is accurate and reliable, thereby saving the manufacturing cost and having strong applicability.

the second obtaining module 402 is configured to obtain a maximum limited brightness of the backlight 2 corresponding to the current temperature;
when the current brightness of the backlight 2 is greater than the maximum limit brightness, the brightness processing module 403 adjusts the brightness of the backlight 2 to the maximum limit brightness.
When the current luminance of the backlight 2 is equal to or less than the maximum limit luminance, the luminance processing module 403 keeps the luminance of the backlight 2 unchanged.
In some embodiments, when the current temperature obtained by the first obtaining module 401 is greater than or equal to the limit value, the brightness processing module 403 turns off the backlight 2.
Further, with the thermistor connected to the backlight 2 as the index 1, the first obtaining module 401 first obtains the current AD value of the thermistor, and then obtains the current resistance temperature of the thermistor according to the current AD value.
As shown in fig. 9, in the backlight processing apparatus 4 of the instrument panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first obtaining module 401 obtains the current temperature of the index 1, specifically, the first obtaining module 401 obtains the current AD value of the thermistor and calculates the current temperature of the thermistor to determine the current temperature of the index 1, the second obtaining module 402 determines the maximum limit brightness of the backlight 2 at different temperatures according to the temperature curve of the index 1, thereby determining the maximum limit brightness of the backlight 2 at the current temperature, compares the brightness of the current backlight 2 with the maximum limit brightness of the backlight 2 corresponding to the current temperature, adjusts the brightness of the backlight 2 to the maximum limit brightness of the backlight 2 corresponding to the current temperature when the current brightness of the backlight 2 is greater than the maximum limit brightness, the current in the circuit is reduced by reducing the brightness of the backlight lamp 2, so that the temperature of an instrument panel is reduced, and the circuit is protected; when the current brightness of the backlight 2 is less than or equal to the maximum defined brightness, the brightness of the backlight 2 is kept unchanged. In summary, the backlight processing device 4 of the instrument panel according to the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the brightness of the backlight 2 according to the temperature of the instrument panel, thereby effectively and dynamically controlling the temperature of the instrument panel within a reasonable range, and the adjustment is accurate and reliable.
