[0018] The clearance lights, turn signals, high beam headlights, low beam headlights, front fog lights, side turn signals, battery, corner lights, rear turn signals, tail lights, rear fog lights, rear headlights, daytime running lights and brake lights all appear in pairs and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right; during the process of lighting up the headlights, the headlights of the same function on both sides are lit synchronously; if one side of the headlights fails and the other side is normal, the normal side headlights will flash for a set time; if both sides of the headlights fail, before the lighting work is completed, all the headlights will flash a set number of times.

[0019] On the basis of the above technical solution, the headlight inspection device further includes an auxiliary control module installed on the mobile phone side, and the auxiliary control module is used to send a control signal to the BCM control module.

[0020] The beneficial effects brought by the technical solution provided by this application include:

[0021] 1. For the headlight inspection device of this application, a separate BCM control module is added on the basis of the original circuit. The BCM control module is connected in parallel across both sides of all headlight switches through wires one by one, and can connect the circuits of each headlight and light up each headlight when each headlight switch is disconnected. When the vehicle speed is not zero, the BCM control module cannot work. When the vehicle speed is zero, the BCM control module 100 can work normally and meet the lighting conditions. At this time, the BCM control module can light up all the headlights one by one. If a headlight fails to light up, a prompt will be given to prompt the driver to further check; compared with the traditional headlight inspection method, this application only requires one person to complete the headlight detection work, without the need for two people to cooperate tacitly, which is time-saving and labor-saving, and the inspection is efficient and reliable, avoiding the headlights of commercial vehicles from being on the road with problems.

[0022] 2. For the headlight inspection device of this application, the headlight detection signal is transmitted by the remote control key, and the BCM control module 100 starts to light up one by one after receiving the headlight detection signal; it can be directly operated outside the vehicle through the remote control key, without the driver getting into the cab to operate, which is further time-saving and labor-saving, the operation is convenient and fast, and the inspection is efficient.

[0023] 3. In one technical solution of the vehicle lamp inspection device of the present application, it further includes a lighting master switch and a no-fault lamp, both of which are installed in the cab. After the lighting master switch is pressed, the BCM control module starts to light all vehicle lamps one by one. If all vehicle lamps are lit normally, the no-fault lamp will be lit, indicating that all vehicle lamps can work properly. If the no-fault lamp is not lit, it means that at least one vehicle lamp has a fault. Press the lighting master switch again and delay for a period of time. The BCM control module starts to light all vehicle lamps one by one. The driver checks for vehicle lamp faults one by one under the vehicle. After repairing the faulty lamp, a new round of vehicle lamp lighting inspection is carried out until the no-fault lamp is lit, and the driver can drive with confidence. The no-fault lamp can give a definite and exact on-road prompt, making the driver feel more at ease.

[0024] 4. In the vehicle lamp inspection device of the present application, the outline lamps, turn signals, high beam lamps, low beam lamps, front fog lamps, side turn signals, batteries, corner lamps, rear turn signals, tail lamps, rear fog lamps, rear headlamps, daytime running lamps, and brake lamps of commercial vehicles all appear in pairs and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body. When the vehicle lamps are lit, the vehicle lamps with the same function on both sides are lit synchronously. During the process of lighting the vehicle lamps, for two vehicle lamps with the same function on both sides, if one side's vehicle lamp is faulty and the other side's is normal, the normal side's vehicle lamp will flash for a set time.

[0032] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of a truck outdoor headlight inspection device is disclosed in the present application. On the basis of the original circuit, a separate BCM (body control module, vehicle electrical control unit) control module 100 is newly added. The BCM control module 100 is connected in parallel across both sides of all headlight switches one by one through wires. That is, when each headlight switch is turned off, it replaces the headlight switch to connect and supply power to each headlight. When the vehicle speed is not zero, the BCM control module 100 cannot work. When the vehicle speed is zero, the BCM control module 100 can work normally and meet the lighting conditions. At this time, when it is necessary to detect the headlights, the BCM control module 100 lights up all the headlights one by one. If a headlight fails to light up, a prompt will be given to remind the driver that a headlight has failed and further troubleshooting is required. The process of troubleshooting headlight failures is not within the scope of the present application.

[0034] Specifically, the method of giving a prompt can be to use the existing headlights for flashing prompts, or to install an alarm lamp for alarm prompts.

[0035] The headlight inspection device of the present application adds a BCM control module 100 on the basis of the original commercial vehicle circuit. The BCM control module 100 can light up all the headlights one by one. Compared with the traditional headlight inspection method, the present application only requires one person to complete the headlight detection work, without the need for two people to cooperate tacitly, saving time and effort, and the inspection is efficient and reliable.

[0036] In one embodiment, on the basis of the original circuit, the headlight inspection device adds a separate BCM control module 100. The BCM control module 100 is connected in parallel across both sides of all headlight switches one by one through wires. The remote control key of the truck is used to transmit the headlight detection signal. After receiving the headlight detection signal, the BCM control module 100 starts to light up one by one.

[0037] The headlight inspection device of the present application can be directly operated outside the vehicle through the remote control key, without the driver having to get into the cab to operate, further saving time and effort, and the inspection is efficient.

[0038] Preferably, the induction range of the remote control key is 50 meters, and the operation is convenient and fast. After the remote control key is long-pressed for 5 seconds, a signal is transmitted to the BCM control module 100.

[0039] In another embodiment, on the basis of the original circuit, the headlight inspection device adds a separate BCM control module 100. The BCM control module 100 is connected in parallel across both sides of all headlight switches one by one through wires. This embodiment is parallel to the remote control key solution. The headlight inspection device further includes a lighting master switch and a no-fault light, both of which are installed in the cab. After the lighting master switch is pressed, the BCM control module 100 starts to light up all the headlights one by one. If all the headlights are lit normally, the no-fault light is lit, indicating that all the headlights can work normally. At this time, the commercial vehicle can drive on the road normally, and the driver can sit in the cab without getting out of the vehicle and can complete all the lighting inspections, which is efficient and fast.

[0040] In this solution, if the no-fault light is not lit, it means that at least one headlight is faulty. At this time, the lighting master switch is pressed again, and after a delay period (for example, 15 seconds, enough for the driver to get out of the vehicle), the BCM control module 100 starts to light up all the headlights one by one. The driver checks and repairs the headlight faults one by one under the vehicle until the no-fault light is lit during the new round of headlight inspection, and the driver can drive on the road with confidence.

[0041] One technical solution of the headlight inspection device of the present application includes a lighting master switch and a no-fault light. The no-fault light can give a definite and exact prompt for driving on the road, making the driver more at ease.

[0042] In another embodiment, on the basis of the original circuit, a separate BCM control module 100 is newly added to the vehicle lamp inspection device. The BCM control module 100 is connected in parallel across both sides of all vehicle lamp switches one by one through wires. The turn signal lamp 2, low beam lamp 4, side turn signal lamp 6, and rear turn signal lamp 9 of the commercial vehicle are respectively connected to the battery 7 through the vehicle lamp switches. The clearance lamp 1, high beam lamp 3, front fog lamp 5, corner lamp 8, tail lamp 10, rear fog lamp 11, rear headlamp 12, daytime running lamp 14, and brake lamp 15 are respectively connected to the main power switch 13 through the vehicle lamp switches, and the main power switch 13 is connected to the battery.

[0043] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the turn signal lamp 2 is K2, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the low beam lamp 4 is K4, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the side turn signal lamp 6 is K6, and the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the rear turn signal lamp 9 is K9. The vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the clearance lamp 1 is K1, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the high beam lamp 3 is K3, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the front fog lamp 5 is K5, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the corner lamp 8 is K8, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the tail lamp 10 is K10, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the rear fog lamp 11 is K11, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the rear headlamp 12 is K12, the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the daytime running lamp 14 is K14, and the vehicle lamp switch corresponding to the brake lamp 15 is K15.

[0044] When lighting the vehicle lamps, first close the main power switch 13. The order in which the BCM control module 100 lights the vehicle lamps is to first light the front fog lamp 5, turn signal lamp 2, side turn signal lamp 6, and rear turn signal lamp 9, and then sequentially light the high beam lamp 3, clearance lamp 1, corner lamp 8, daytime running lamp 14, front fog lamp 5, rear fog lamp 11, tail lamp 10, and brake lamp 15. The above order of lighting the vehicle lamps is optimally sorted according to the positions of the vehicle lamps on the vehicle body, facilitating the driver to observe under the vehicle and efficiently completing the vehicle lamp inspection work. During this process, if any vehicle lamp fails, the BCM control module 100 controls its own vehicle lamp to flash to give corresponding prompts, or the warning lamp flashes to give prompts.

[0045] Furthermore, during the process of lighting the vehicle lamps one by one, the time intervals between lighting two vehicle lamps in sequence are all the same. Specifically, the lighting time intervals between the high beam lamp 3 and the clearance lamp 1, and between the clearance lamp 1 and the corner lamp 8 are all the same; preferably, the time interval is 2 seconds.

[0046] The clearance lamp 1, turn signal lamp 2, high beam lamp 3, low beam lamp 4, front fog lamp 5, side turn signal lamp 6, battery 7, corner lamp 8, rear turn signal lamp 9, tail lamp 10, rear fog lamp 11, rear headlamp 12, daytime running lamp 14, and brake lamp 15 of the commercial vehicle all appear in pairs and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle body. When lighting the vehicle lamps, the vehicle lamps with the same function on both sides are lit synchronously. As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, if the BCM control module 100 controls the wires on both sides of the headlight switch K2 to be connected, the turn signals 2 on both the left and right sides will light up simultaneously.

[0047] During the process of turning on the headlights, for two headlights with the same function on both the left and right sides, if one headlight fails and the other is normal, the normal-side headlight will flash for a set time, for example, flash for 10 seconds, with an average of one flash every 0.5 seconds. If both headlights fail, after all the headlights are inspected, before the lighting work is completed, all the headlights will flash a set number of times, for example, flash 10 times.

[0048] In one embodiment, on the basis of the original circuit, the headlight inspection device adds a separate BCM control module 100. The BCM control module 100 is connected in parallel across both sides of all headlight switches one by one through wires. The headlight inspection device also includes an auxiliary control module installed on the mobile phone side. The auxiliary control module can send control signals to the BCM control module 100, and the BCM control module 100 lights up the headlights one by one after receiving the control signals.

[0049] For the headlight inspection device of the present application, the auxiliary control module on the mobile phone side can perform headlight detection work more flexibly.

[0050] The present application also discloses an inspection method based on the above headlight inspection device, which is characterized by including the following steps:

[0051] The BCM control module 100 lights up the headlights one by one. If all the headlights can be lit normally, the inspection work is completed; if a headlight cannot be lit, the BCM control module 100 gives a corresponding prompt;

[0052] Perform troubleshooting and repair, and the BCM control module 100 lights up all the headlights again one by one until all the headlights can be lit normally.

[0053] In one embodiment, the main process of the inspection method includes: the BCM control module 100 lights up the headlights one by one. If all the headlights can be lit normally, the inspection work is completed; if a headlight cannot be lit, after troubleshooting and repair, all the headlights are lit again one by one until all the headlights can be lit normally. Before the main process of the inspection method, it also includes:

[0054] The remote control key of the truck sends a headlight detection signal to the BCM control module 100;

[0055] The BCM control module 100 starts the lighting work one by one after receiving the headlight detection signal;

[0056] The inspection method of the present application can be directly operated outside the vehicle through the remote control key, without the driver getting into the cab to operate, which further saves time and effort and is highly efficient in inspection.

[0057] In another embodiment, the main process of the inspection method includes: the BCM control module 100 lights up the vehicle lights one by one. If all the vehicle lights can be lit normally, the inspection work is completed; if a vehicle light cannot be lit, after troubleshooting and repair, all the vehicle lights are lit one by one again until all the vehicle lights can be lit normally. This embodiment is parallel to the solution of the remote control key. The vehicle light inspection device further includes a lighting master switch and a no-fault light, and both the lighting master switch and the no-fault light are installed in the cab; after the lighting master switch is pressed, the BCM control module 100 starts to light up all the vehicle lights one by one.

[0058] In the main process of the inspection method, it further includes:

[0059] If all the vehicle lights are lit normally, the no-fault light is lit;

[0060] If the no-fault light is not lit, troubleshoot and repair until the no-fault light is lit.

[0061] Specifically, if all the vehicle lights are lit normally, the no-fault light is lit, indicating that all the vehicle lights can work normally. At this time, the commercial vehicle can drive on the road normally. The driver can sit in the cab without getting out of the vehicle and can complete all the vehicle light inspection work, which is efficient and fast.

[0062] In this solution, if the no-fault light is not lit, it means that at least one vehicle light has a fault. At this time, the lighting master switch is pressed again, and after a delay period (for example, 15 seconds, enough for the driver to get out of the vehicle), the BCM control module 100 starts to light up all the vehicle lights one by one. The driver checks and repairs the vehicle light faults one by one under the vehicle until the no-fault light is lit during the new round of vehicle light inspection, and then the driver can drive on the road with confidence.

[0063] A technical solution of the vehicle light inspection device of the present application includes a lighting master switch and a no-fault light. The no-fault light can give a definite and exact prompt to allow the driver to be more at ease.

[0064] In another embodiment, the main process of the inspection method includes: the BCM control module 100 lights up the vehicle lights one by one. If all the vehicle lights can be lit normally, the inspection work is completed; if a vehicle light cannot be lit, after troubleshooting and repair, all the vehicle lights are lit one by one again until all the vehicle lights can be lit normally. The turn signal 2, low beam 4, side turn signal 6 and rear turn signal 9 of the commercial vehicle are respectively connected to the battery 7 through vehicle light switches. The outline light 1, high beam 3, front fog light 5, corner light 8, tail light 10, rear fog light 11, rear headlight 12, daytime running light 14 and brake light 15 are respectively connected to the power main switch 13 through vehicle light switches, and the power main switch 13 is connected to the battery.

[0065] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the headlight switch corresponding to the turn signal 2 is K2, the headlight switch corresponding to the low beam 4 is K4, the headlight switch corresponding to the side turn signal 6 is K6, and the headlight switch corresponding to the rear turn signal 9 is K9. The headlight switch corresponding to the clearance light 1 is K1, the headlight switch corresponding to the high beam 3 is K3, the headlight switch corresponding to the front fog light 5 is K5, the headlight switch corresponding to the corner light 8 is K8, the headlight switch corresponding to the tail light 10 is K10, the headlight switch corresponding to the rear fog light 11 is K11, the headlight switch corresponding to the rear headlight 12 is K12, the headlight switch corresponding to the daytime running light 14 is K14, and the headlight switch corresponding to the brake light 15 is K15.

[0066] When turning on the headlights, first close the main power switch 13. The order in which the BCM control module 100 turns on the headlights is to first turn on the front fog light 5, turn signal 2, side turn signal 6, and rear turn signal 9, and then sequentially turn on the high beam 3, clearance light 1, corner light 8, daytime running light 14, front fog light 5, rear fog light 11, tail light 10, and brake light 15. The above order of turning on the headlights is optimally sorted according to the positions of the vehicle body headlights, facilitating the driver to observe under the vehicle and efficiently complete the headlight inspection work.

[0067] During this process, if any headlight fails, the BCM control module 100 controls its own headlight to flash to give a corresponding prompt, or the warning light flashes to give a prompt.

[0068] Furthermore, during the process of turning on the headlights one by one, the time intervals between turning on two adjacent headlights are the same. Specifically, the time intervals between turning on the high beam 3 and the clearance light 1, and between the clearance light 1 and the corner light 8 are the same; preferably, the time interval is 2 seconds.

[0069] The clearance lights 1, turn signals 2, high beams 3, low beams 4, front fog lights 5, side turn signals 6, batteries 7, corner lights 8, rear turn signals 9, tail lights 10, rear fog lights 11, rear headlights 12, daytime running lights 14, and brake lights 15 of commercial vehicles all appear in pairs and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body. When turning on the headlights, the headlights with the same function on both sides are turned on synchronously. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, if the BCM control module 100 controls the wires on both sides of the headlight switch K2 to be connected, the turn signals 2 on both sides will be turned on simultaneously.

[0070] During the process of turning on the headlights, for two headlights with the same function on both sides, if one headlight fails and the other is normal, the normal headlight on that side will flash for a set time, for example, flash 10 times, with an average of 0.5 seconds between each flash, and then continue to turn on the next one in sequence. If both headlights on both sides fail, after all the headlights are inspected, before the lighting work is completed, all the headlights will flash a set number of times, for example, flash 10 times, indicating that a pair of headlights with the same function has failed.

[0071] In one embodiment, the vehicle lamp inspection device further includes an auxiliary control module installed on the mobile phone side. The auxiliary control module can send a control signal to the BCM control module 100, and the BCM control module 100 lights up the vehicle lamps one by one after receiving the control signal.

[0072] In the inspection method of the present application, the auxiliary control module on the mobile phone side can perform vehicle lamp detection work more flexibly.

[0073] For the vehicle lamp inspection device of the present application, a separate BCM control module is newly added on the basis of the original circuit. The BCM control module is connected in parallel across both sides of all vehicle lamp switches one by one through wires, and can connect the circuits of all vehicle lamps and light up all vehicle lamps when each vehicle lamp switch is off. When the vehicle speed is not zero, the BCM control module cannot work. When the vehicle speed is zero, the BCM control module 100 can work normally and meet the lighting conditions. At this time, the BCM control module can light up all vehicle lamps one by one. If a vehicle lamp fails to light up, a prompt will be given to prompt the driver to further check. Compared with the traditional vehicle lamp inspection method, only one person is required to complete the vehicle lamp detection work in the present application, without the need for two people to cooperate tacitly, which is labor-saving and time-saving, and the inspection is efficient and reliable, avoiding the vehicle lamps of commercial vehicles from hitting the road with problems.

[0074] For the vehicle lamp inspection device of the present application, the vehicle lamp detection signal is transmitted by the remote control key, and the BCM control module 100 starts to light up one by one after receiving the vehicle lamp detection signal; it can be directly operated outside the vehicle through the remote control key without the driver getting into the cab to operate, which is further time-saving and labor-saving, convenient and fast to operate, and efficient in inspection.

[0075] In one technical solution of the vehicle lamp inspection device of the present application, it further includes a lighting master switch and a no-fault lamp, both of which are installed in the cab; after the lighting master switch is pressed, the BCM control module 100 starts to light up all vehicle lamps one by one. If all vehicle lamps are lit normally, the no-fault lamp will be lit, indicating that all vehicle lamps can work normally; if the no-fault lamp is not lit, it means that at least one vehicle lamp has a fault. Press the lighting master switch again and delay for a period of time, and the BCM control module 100 starts to light up all vehicle lamps one by one. The driver checks the vehicle lamp faults one by one under the vehicle; after repairing the faulty lamp, a new round of vehicle lamp lighting inspection is carried out until the no-fault lamp is lit, and the driver can rest assured to hit the road; the no-fault lamp can give a definite and exact on-road prompt, making the driver feel more at ease.

[0076] For the headlight inspection device of the present application, the outline lights 1, turn signals 2, high beam lights 3, low beam lights 4, front fog lights 5, side turn signals 6, batteries 7, corner lights 8, rear turn signals 9, taillights 10, rear fog lights 11, rear headlights 12, daytime running lights 14, and brake lights 15 of commercial vehicles all appear in pairs and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle body. When the headlights are lit, the headlights with the same function on both the left and right sides are lit synchronously. During the process of lighting the headlights, for two headlights with the same function on both the left and right sides, if one headlight fails and the other is normal, the normal side headlight will flash for a set time. If both headlights fail, after all the headlights are inspected, before the lighting work is completed, all the headlights will flash a set number of times. The headlight inspection device of the present application uses the flashing of the headlights of the commercial vehicle itself to prompt the driver that a headlight failure has occurred, saving the cost of additionally installing electrical components.

[0077] For the inspection method of the present application, the BCM control module 100 lights up the headlights one by one. If all the headlights can be lit normally, the inspection work is completed; if a headlight cannot be lit, the BCM control module 100 gives a corresponding prompt; after troubleshooting and repair, the BCM control module 100 lights up all the headlights one by one again until all the headlights can be lit normally. The inspection method of the present application does not require the driver to get into the cab to operate, reducing the driver's workload, saving time and effort, and having high inspection efficiency.
