The accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments and are not to be considered as limiting the present invention. Moreover, the same reference symbols are used throughout the accompanying drawings to represent the same components. In the accompanying drawings:

[0041] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0042] The embodiment of the present invention provides a car cover automatic control device, which is powered on and works when the vehicle is in a locked state. When the vehicle is in a locked state, it means that the vehicle is in an unsupervised state. In this scenario, the car cover automatic control device of the present application is powered on and works. Specifically, the car cover automatic control device is powered by a battery or a vehicle power battery. The car cover automatic control device can be adapted to various vehicle models, and the settings are different according to different vehicle models. For example, if it is adapted to an electric vehicle, the car cover automatic control device can be powered by a power battery. If it is adapted to a fuel vehicle, the car cover automatic control device can be powered by a battery. The car cover automatic control device includes two parts: a control part and a car cover execution part. Among them, the control part includes: a variety of sensors, a control component, a background acquisition component, and a communication component. It is mainly responsible for collecting emergency event signals around the vehicle, and performing data analysis based on this, as well as controlling the expansion of the car cover to prevent the vehicle from being damaged. Optionally, some sensors in the control part can rely on the original sensors of the vehicle, for example, the camera can use the original camera of the vehicle. The control components, background acquisition components, and communication components of the control part can utilize the original control parts of the intelligent vehicle-mounted device. Therefore, the intelligent vehicle-mounted device is not completely shut down when the vehicle is in a locked state, and the functions of the control part are retained. Of course, the car cover automatic control device of the present application can also become an independent device that is distinguished from the intelligent vehicle-mounted device and has independent computing functions. Its specific architecture can be determined according to actual conditions. The car cover execution part is mainly used to execute the deployment of the car cover to protect the vehicle.

[0043] When the car cover automatic control device is energized and working, if an emergency occurs to the vehicle at this time, the car cover automatic control device obtains the emergency signal of the vehicle through monitoring, and judges the type of emergency suffered by the vehicle and then controls the car cover to automatically open the corresponding form to protect the vehicle in time, so as to avoid damage to the vehicle caused by the emergency and improve the safety of the vehicle when there is no supervision.

[0044] Please see below Figure 1, is a schematic diagram of the structure of the car cover automatic control device of the present application. The car cover automatic control device includes: multiple sensors, a control component 104, a background acquisition component 105, a car cover 106, and a communication component (not shown in the figure). Among them, multiple sensors are connected to the control component 104, and transmit various acquisition signals for analysis by the control component 104. The background acquisition component 105 is connected to the control component 104, and is used to transmit weather forecast information for analysis by the control component 104. The car cover 106 is connected to the control component 104 and is controlled by the control component 104.

[0045] The following is a detailed introduction to each device.

[0046] A variety of sensors are used to obtain emergency event signals of the vehicle when the vehicle is in a locked state.

[0047] The emergency signal suffered by the vehicle in this embodiment is a signal generated when an emergency attacks the vehicle, so the emergency signal suffered by the vehicle can reflect the damage of the vehicle.

[0048] The various sensors described in this embodiment include but are not limited to: a vibration sensor 101, a sound sensor 102, and an image sensor 103. Furthermore, the emergency event signal received by the vehicle in this embodiment includes: a vibration signal, a sound signal, and an image signal.

[0049] The vibration sensor 101 is arranged under the sheet metal of the upper surface area of ​​the vehicle, including the top cover and the hood. If the vehicle is a three-box car, it needs to be arranged under the sheet metal of the trunk lid. When the vehicle is attacked by an object, the upper surface area of ​​the vehicle is subjected to a strong impact force, which will cause the sheet metal to vibrate. The vibration sensor 101 will detect the vibration signal and transmit the vibration signal to the control component 104. The impact force of different objects has different vibration characteristics. For example, the impact of hail is continuous, with high impact force and low density, while the impact of sandstorms is very continuous, with low impact force and high density. The detachment of wall skin is discontinuous, with great impact force and extremely low density. Therefore, the control component 104 can judge the type of emergency suffered by the vehicle based on the vibration signal.

[0050] The sound sensor 102 and the vibration sensor 101 are arranged at the same position. When the vehicle is impacted, it will emit vibration and sound, and the impact sound of different objects is different. The sound sensor 102 collects the sound signal and transmits it to the control component 104 for analysis.

[0051] The image monitor is installed inside the vehicle, such as below the front windshield. The image sensor 103 monitors the image information around the vehicle in real time, and transmits the image information to the control component 104 for processing in the form of image signals.

[0052] The control component 104 is connected to a variety of sensors. Specifically, the control component 104 is connected to the vibration sensor 101, the sound sensor 102, and the image sensor 103, respectively, and is used to determine the type of emergency event that the vehicle is experiencing according to the emergency event signal that the vehicle is experiencing, and control the car cover 106 to open a corresponding protection mode according to the type of emergency event that the vehicle is experiencing; wherein different types of emergencies correspond to opening different protection modes of the car cover.

[0053] Among them, the type of emergency event that the vehicle is hit by is directly linked to the damage to the vehicle. Different types of emergencies will cause different damage to the vehicle. For example, if the type of emergency event that the vehicle is hit by is hail, the damage caused to the vehicle will be greater than the damage caused by heavy rain.

[0054] In determining the type of emergency event that the vehicle is subject to, the control component 104 first determines the corresponding first emergency event type based on the vibration signal; and determines the corresponding second emergency event type based on the sound signal. Among them, the present application presets a signal library (see Table 1), which records the types of emergencies corresponding to each signal. After receiving the vibration signal fed back by the vibration sensor 101, the control component 104 compares it with the signal library listed in Table 1 to determine the type of emergency event that attacks the vehicle. The sound signal is compared in the same way to determine the types of emergencies determined by the vibration signal and the sound signal.

[0055] Table 1

[0056]

[0057] After the types of emergencies are determined according to the vibration signal and the sound signal, in order to improve the accuracy, it is determined again whether the first emergency type and the second emergency type are the same. If they are the same, then the type of emergency suffered by the vehicle is directly determined to be: the first emergency type or the second emergency type. If they are not the same, it means that there is a difference in the types of emergencies corresponding to the vibration sensor 101 and the sound sensor 102. In this case, it is determined whether an emergency occurs in the vehicle according to the image signal. Since the image signal reflects the real scene shot around the vehicle, when there is a difference in the types of emergencies determined by the vibration sensor 101 and the sound sensor 102, it is further determined according to the image signal. If it is determined according to the image signal that an emergency occurs, the type of emergency suffered by the vehicle is determined according to the image signal. If it is determined according to the image signal that no emergency occurs, it means that the type of emergency suffered by the vehicle cannot be determined at present.

[0058] In the prior art, the amount of rain, temperature, humidity, etc. are generally monitored as the judgment parameters for opening the car cover. However, the amount of rain, temperature, humidity, etc. mainly reflect the environmental information around the vehicle, and cannot reflect the damage to the vehicle. Therefore, this embodiment collects the vibration signal, sound signal, and image signal generated when the vehicle is attacked by an emergency as reference parameters. Since these signals are signals generated when the vehicle is attacked by an emergency, they can reflect that the vehicle is currently suffering damage. Furthermore, based on this, the opening of the car cover can be analyzed and controlled to protect the vehicle in a targeted manner to avoid causing greater losses.

[0059] Furthermore, since vibration signals and sound signals are the most direct signals generated when a vehicle is attacked by an emergency, the type of emergency can be accurately analyzed based on the vibration signals and sound signals. If analysis is not possible, the image signal is used for supplementary judgment. Through the judgment of the above multiple mechanisms, the type of emergency can be accurately determined.

[0060] Of course, in this embodiment, there are also situations where the type of emergency event that the vehicle is subject to cannot be determined. For example, when the above three signals cannot determine the type of emergency event that the vehicle is subject to, in this case, the car cover automatic control device is also provided with a background collection component 105 for storing weather forecast information. When the control component 104 cannot determine the type of emergency event that the vehicle is subject to, the control component 104 receives weather forecast information from the background collection component 105. By analyzing the weather forecast information, it is determined whether there is an extreme weather risk. If there is an extreme weather risk, the car cover 106 is controlled to open to protect the vehicle, thereby reducing the possibility of vehicle damage. In the process of controlling the car cover 106 to open, the control component 104 can control the car cover 106 to open the corresponding protection form according to the risk type of extreme weather, so as to protect the vehicle in a targeted manner in response to extreme weather.

[0061] In the prior art, smart vehicle-mounted devices also store weather forecast information, but the purpose of storing weather forecast information in the prior art is to provide weather forecasts to vehicle owners and not for other purposes. In this embodiment, the weather forecast information is associated with the automatic control of the opening of the car cover, and the necessity of opening the car cover is analyzed accordingly, so as to provide targeted protection measures for the vehicle. Therefore, the role of the weather forecast information in this embodiment is to control the opening of the car cover, so as to protect the vehicle in a targeted manner against extreme weather and prevent the vehicle from being damaged by extreme weather.

[0062] In the process of the control component 104 controlling the corresponding opening of the vehicle cover, the types of emergencies encountered by the vehicle and the control commands have a corresponding relationship, as shown in Table 2.

[0063] Table 2

[0064] Types of emergencies that vehicles are subject to Control command: Open the inflatable protection mode Control command: Open the non-inflatable protection mode Hail, impact, sandstorm √ Heavy rain, heavy snow, strong winds √

[0065] In a specific implementation process, the control component 104 generates a corresponding control command according to the type of emergency event encountered by the vehicle; and controls the vehicle cover 106 to open the inflatable protection mode or the non-inflatable protection mode according to the control command.

[0066] In the present embodiment, the car cover 106 of the present embodiment includes a car cover body and various structures for controlling the car cover body. Among them, the car cover body is in a bag-like form. The open forms of the car cover include an inflatable protection form and a non-inflatable protection form. In the inflatable protection form, the car cover body is inflated into an "airbag" to cover the vehicle, and the cushioning effect of the airbag is used to resist extreme weather or accidents such as hail, sandstorms, and object collisions that have a greater impact on the vehicle. In the non-inflatable protection form, a flexible skeleton is provided inside the car cover body, which automatically opens the car cover body and directly covers the vehicle in a non-inflatable form. By selecting different car cover forms to cover the vehicle, the present application can respond to various emergencies and provide targeted protection measures for the vehicle compared to simply covering the vehicle with the car cover.

[0067] In order to facilitate the description and explanation of the present invention, the position and structure of the car cover 106 are introduced below.

[0068] Since the vehicle has a height limit, in order to save the top space, this embodiment does not add an additional device on the roof to accommodate the car cover 106. The car cover 106 of this embodiment is built into the lower cavity of the top sheet metal of the vehicle in the folded state, and is covered by the protective cover 001 set on the top of the vehicle, so that the top space can be saved and the appearance of the vehicle will not be changed, thereby retaining the prototype of the vehicle to the greatest extent. Specifically, the protective cover 001 on the top of the vehicle and the top sheet metal of the vehicle are adapted to each other in height and position to maintain the prototype of the vehicle.

[0069] The specific structure of the car cover 106 of this embodiment is shown in Figure 2 , including: a car cover body 1061, a lifting component 1062, and a cover switch component 1063; the lifting component 1062 and the cover switch component 1063 are both connected to the control component 104 and controlled by the control component 104.

[0070] The vehicle cover body 1061 is a bag-like structure, which is folded and placed in the lower cavity of the sheet metal in the folded state. The shape of the vehicle cover body 1061 is adapted to the vehicle, and after being inflated, it can expand into the same shape as the area it is intended to cover. When in the unfolded state, the vehicle cover body 1061 is in an inflated protective form or a non-inflated protective form and is covered on the vehicle.

[0071] The lifting assembly 1062 is fixed to the bottom of the lower cavity of the top sheet metal of the vehicle and is used to place the car cover body 1061.

[0072] In the specific structure, in order to protect the bottom of the lower cavity of the vehicle's top sheet metal, a base plate can be fixed on the bottom to strengthen protection. The lifting assembly 1062 is fixed on the base plate. When the base plate is damaged, it can be directly replaced without replacing the bottom plate at the bottom of the cavity, thereby saving replacement costs.

[0073] The lifting component 1062 controls the lifting degree through the first motor, and the motor is controlled by the control component 104, so that the lifting component 1062 can be controlled by the control component 104 to lift. The lifting component 1062 includes a lifting column structure, a lifting platform structure, etc. Any structure that can achieve the lifting function is applicable to this application.

[0074] The protective cover switch assembly 1063 is used to control the opening and closing of the protective cover 001. Specifically, the protective cover switch assembly 1063 is controlled by the second motor to realize the opening and closing of the protective cover 001. For example, the protective cover switch assembly 1063 is a switch shaft, and the second motor controls the switch shaft to rotate, thereby driving the protective cover to rotate and open and close.

[0075] When the protective cover switch assembly 1063 is controlled by the control assembly 104 to open the protective cover, the lifting assembly 1062 is controlled by the control assembly 104 to drive the car cover body 1061 to rise from the cavity, and the car cover body 1061 is automatically unfolded through the internal flexible skeleton and covered on the vehicle in a non-inflated protective form.

[0076] Based on the above structure, the car cover 106 further includes an inflation component 1064 and a flow meter.

[0077] The inflatable component 1064 is connected to the control component 104, and is used to be inflated under the control of the control component 104 after the car cover body 1061 is unfolded, so that the car cover body 1061 is covered on the vehicle in an inflated protective form. Further, the inflatable component 1064 can use an inflatable pump. Since the inflatable component 1064 consumes a lot of electricity, the inflatable component 1064 can be configured with a battery or a power battery.

[0078] The flow meter is connected to the control component 104 for real-time monitoring of the inflation volume of the cover body 1061 and transmitting the information to the control component 104, so that the control component 104 can control the inflation volume of the cover body 1061 in real-time and control the inflation component 1064 to stop inflation when the preset inflation volume is reached.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, the car cover 106 further includes: an electromagnetic suction assembly located on the car cover body 1061, which is used to adsorb the car cover body 1061 to the body sheet metal after the car cover body 1061 is unfolded. For example, after the car cover body 1061 is filled with air, the electromagnetic suction assembly can fix the car cover body 1061 to the body sheet metal to prevent the car cover body 1061 from being blown by the wind and causing certain areas to lose protection. The number and position of the electromagnetic suction assemblies can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0080] On the basis of the above structure, if it is determined that the vehicle is in the weather of rain, snow, etc., the control component 104 sends a non-inflated control command to the car cover 106. Then the second motor in the car cover structure drives the cover switch component 1063 to open the cover, and the first motor electric lifting component 1062 drives the car cover body 1061 to rise from the cavity, and the car cover body 1061 is automatically unfolded through the internal flexible skeleton and covered on the vehicle in a non-inflated protective form. If it is determined that the vehicle is in extreme weather or accidents such as hail, sandstorms, wall peeling, etc., the control component 104 sends an inflated control command to the car cover 106, and after the car cover body 1061 is unfolded, the inflatable component 1064 is controlled to inflate the car cover body 1061 according to the preset inflation amount, so that the car cover body 1061 is inflated into an "airbag" shape and covered on the vehicle, which can well protect the vehicle body from being hit by foreign objects and suffering losses. After the car cover body 1061 is covered on the vehicle in a non-inflated state or in an "airbag" shape, the electromagnetic suction assembly adsorbs the car cover body 1061 on the body sheet metal to fix it, thereby preventing the car cover body 1061 from falling off and being lost. Since the present application is an automatic monitoring and automatic opening car cover, no human intervention is required, so it can protect the vehicle at night or when the owner is far away from the vehicle.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the car cover automatic control device further includes: a communication component for communicating with a communication device held by the car owner to report the current state of the car cover 106. For example, the car owner is informed that the car cover 106 has been activated, and the car owner is prompted to check whether the vehicle is damaged after the severe environment such as hail, sand and dust ends, and the car cover 106 is retrieved.

[0082] Based on the same inventive concept as in the aforementioned embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle, comprising the vehicle cover automatic control device described in the aforementioned embodiment.
