In practical application, the low-speed alert sound adaptive control system of the electric automobile can directly use theloudspeaker 400 arranged on the electric automobile to play the alert sound to be played, or can independently set a pedestrian alert loudspeaker outside theautomobile body 100 to play the alert sound to be played. Thenoise collection device 200 may be configured as a sound sensor, a microphone or other electronic devices capable of capturing environmental noise according to practical situations, which is not limited herein.
Optionally, thenoise collection device 200 includes: at least one directional microphone, or at least one sound sensor.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, when thenoise collection device 200 includes 4 directional microphones (or sound sensors), the 4 directional microphones are respectively disposed at four corners of the top outside thevehicle body 100, where the pointing direction of each directional microphone is 45 degrees with respect to the abscissa and ordinate directions of thevehicle body 100.

In one embodiment, according to the national requirement for the low-speed alert sound of the electric vehicle, the preset condition is set by reference to the standard GBT37153-2018 electric vehicle low-speed alert sound, and the preset condition may be that the total sound pressure level outside the vehicle is greater than or equal to 52dB (a) and the duration exceeds 3s, or may be other sound pressure level ranges and duration ranges meeting the reference standard, which is not limited herein.
Optionally, theprocessor 300 further includes: a frequency compensation module 330;
the frequency compensation module 330 is connected to thedetermination module 320, and is configured to output a 1000hz single frequency compensation signal after thedetermination module 320 determines that the total sound pressure level outside the vehicle reaches a preset condition.
Specifically, according to psychoacoustic principles: the human ear is most sensitive to 1000Hz sound perception, and the natural noise is basically free of the frequency, so that the human ear is very easy to distinguish from the background noise, and the safety of pedestrians is facilitated; and the influence of the single-frequency sound on the overall sound pressure level change of the sound is small, so that higher requirements on the power of the pedestrian warning device can not be put forward, and the cost is saved. In addition, the 1000Hz wavelength is shorter, is easily isolated by the vehicle acoustic package, hardly sounds in the vehicle, and does not influence the driver in the vehicle and cause NVH problems. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, by adding single-frequency sound with the frequency of 1000Hz to pedestrian warning sound and playing the single-frequency sound with a certain sound pressure level, the perceptibility of pedestrians on the pedestrian warning sound is increased.
In other embodiments, when the preset condition is other sound pressure level ranges meeting the reference standard, the frequency compensation module 330 may output a single frequency compensation signal with a frequency corresponding to the sound pressure level range, and specifically, the correspondence between sounds with different frequencies and sound pressure levels is shown in table 1.

When the total sound pressure level outside the automobile is more than or equal to 52dB (A) and the duration exceeds 3s, the central processor outputs a single-frequency compensation signal of 1000Hz, the pedestrian warning controller adaptively switches the frequency composition and the sound pressure level of the pedestrian warning sound according to the single-frequency compensation signal to obtain warning sound to be played, and controls a pedestrian warning loudspeaker to play the warning sound to be played; when the total sound pressure level outside the automobile is less than 52dB (A) and the duration exceeds 3s, the central processing unit cancels the frequency compensation function, and the pedestrian warning controller directly controls the pedestrian warning loudspeaker to play the original pedestrian warning sound.
Alternatively, theprocessor 300 may be a processor already installed in the electric vehicle, and then a module including an off-vehicle total sound level calculating function and a frequency compensating function may be integrated with the processor, or may be a separately installed processor including the functions, so long as the respective functions of theprocessor 300 can be implemented, which is not limited herein.

From the above, the embodiment of the application provides an electric automobile low-speed prompt tone self-adaptive control system, which can sense the sound pressure level of the external environment noise of the automobile in real time, and accordingly, the frequency spectrum and the sound pressure level of the low-speed prompt tone emitted by the automobile are self-adaptively adjusted, so that the low-speed prompt tone can be distinguished from the background noise and is easily sensed by pedestrians on the road, and the risk of traffic accidents is reduced.
