Problems solved by technology

However, existing obstacle detection systems may fail to detect obstacles when they are low near the door or when there is a slope on the outside of the door
In this case, in the process of opening the door, the lower edge of the door is likely to collide with obstacles, causing damage to the door

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the drawings. The following detailed description and accompanying drawings serve to illustrate the principles of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the described preferred embodiments, but the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims.

[0030] The obstacle detection device according to the embodiment of the present invention can be installed on the vehicle or applied to the vehicle to determine the risk of collision between the lower edge of the door and the obstacle below the door and provide door anti-collision assistance during the opening and / or closing process of the door. The vehicle can be an internal combustion engine vehicle driven by an internal combustion engine, an electric vehicle or a fuel cell vehicle powered by an electric motor, a hybrid vehicle powered by both, or a vehicle with other drive sources.

Abstract

The invention relates to an obstacle detection device and method for a vehicle. The obstacle detection device for the vehicle includes a distance measurement unit and a control unit; the distance measurement unit is installed on a vehicle door of the vehicle and used for detecting the vertical distance between the lower brim of the vehicle door and obstacles below the vehicle door in the process of opening and / or closing the vehicle door; the control unit can receive the detected distance from the distance measurement unit constantly and judge whether or not the distance is smaller than a preset first threshold value, wherein according to the construction of the control unit, when the detected distance is smaller than the first threshold value, the control unit controls the vehicle in order to provide vehicle door anti-collision assistance for a user of the vehicle so that the vehicle door can be prevented from running into the obstacles.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to an obstacle detection device and method for a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Generally, a swing door is rotatably connected to a vehicle body through a door hinge so that the door can be swiveled in a horizontal direction to open / close. In recent years, a method of detecting an obstacle on the side of a door has been developed to prevent the outer side of the door from colliding with the obstacle during door opening. However, existing obstacle detection systems may not be able to detect obstacles when they are low near the door or when there is a slope on the outside of the door. In this case, in the process of opening the car door, the lower edge of the car door is likely to collide with an obstacle, thereby causing damage to the car door. [0003] Therefore, there is a need for an obstacle detection device and method capable of det...
