[0047] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0048] Furthermore, the drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Some of the blocks shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application provide a control method, device, equipment and storage medium for a vehicle air intake grille, which can actively close the air intake grille according to the operating status of the vehicle to ensure the safety of the vehicle during the car washing process, and can also reduce the energy consumption of the entire vehicle, effectively improve the vehicle's cruising range, and enhance the user experience.

[0050] In order to achieve the above technical effects, the general idea of ​​this application is as follows:

[0051] A method for controlling a vehicle air intake grille, the method comprising the steps of:

[0052] S101: Collecting vehicle status signals, wherein the vehicle status signals include: speed signals, visual signals, and rainfall signals.

[0053] S102: Determine whether the vehicle is in a car washing machine washing state according to the collected vehicle state signal.

[0054] S103: When the vehicle is in a car washing machine state, control the vehicle's air intake grille blades to a fully closed state.

[0055] The embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a vehicle air intake grille provided by the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the vehicle air intake grille includes the steps of:

[0057] Step S101: Collect vehicle status signals, which include: speed signals, visual signals, and rainfall signals.

[0058] Specifically, a plurality of sensors are used to collect vehicle signals, wherein a vehicle wheel speed sensor is used to collect a vehicle speed signal, a vehicle camera is used to collect a vehicle visual signal, and a vehicle rain sensor is used to collect a vehicle rain signal. It can be understood that whether the vehicle is in a car washing machine state is determined based on the collected vehicle speed signal, visual signal, and rain signal to comprehensively determine whether the vehicle is in a car washing machine state.

[0059] Among them, the vehicle speed signal is collected to determine whether the vehicle speed is 0, the vehicle visual signal is collected to capture the image outside the vehicle and determine whether there is a car washing machine drum outside the vehicle, and the vehicle rainfall signal is collected to determine whether there is flowing water on the vehicle.

[0060] Step S102: judging whether the vehicle is in a car washing machine state according to the collected vehicle state signal.

[0061] Specifically, the vehicle speed signal collected by the wheel speed sensor, the vehicle visual signal collected by the vehicle camera, and the vehicle rainfall signal collected by the vehicle rain sensor are used to comprehensively judge whether the vehicle is in the car wash state. Specifically, the vehicle speed signal is first collected by the vehicle wheel speed sensor to judge whether the vehicle speed is 0. When the vehicle speed is determined to be 0, the visual signal collected by the camera is used to judge whether there is a car wash drum outside the vehicle. When it is determined that there is a car wash drum outside the vehicle, the collected vehicle rainfall signal is used to judge whether the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than 90mm / min. When the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than 90mm / min, it is determined that the vehicle is in the car wash state. It should be noted that when all the above conditions are met, the vehicle is determined to be in the car wash state. When any of the above conditions is not met, it is determined to be in the non-car wash state, and it is re-determined whether it is in the car wash state.

[0062] Step S103: When the vehicle is in a car washing machine state, the air intake grille blades of the vehicle are controlled to be in a fully closed state.

[0063] Specifically, the vehicle speed signal collected by the vehicle wheel speed sensor is used to determine whether the vehicle speed is 0. When the vehicle speed is determined to be 0, the visual signal collected by the camera is used to determine whether there is a car washing machine drum outside the vehicle. When it is determined that there is a car washing machine drum outside the vehicle, the vehicle rainfall signal collected is used to determine whether the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than 90 mm / min. When the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than 90 mm / min, it is determined that the vehicle is in a car washing machine state, and the position signal of the vehicle grille motor is read. By reading the position signal of the air intake grille motor, it is determined whether the opening angle of the vehicle air intake grille blade is greater than 0 degrees. When the opening angle of the air intake grille blade is greater than 0 degrees, that is, the corresponding angle of the air intake grille blade is in a non-completely closed state, the air intake grille is controlled to move to a fully closed state. It should be noted that when the opening angle of the air intake grille is greater than 0 degrees, it is determined to be in an incompletely closed state. When the opening angle of the air intake grille is determined to be 0 degrees, it is determined to be in a fully closed state. When the opening angle of the air intake grille is 90 degrees, it is determined that the air intake grille blade is in a fully open state.

[0064] In another embodiment, according to the vehicle speed information, the outside temperature, the inside temperature information and the air conditioning on state, it is determined whether the vehicle is in a hot vehicle condition. When it is determined to be a hot vehicle condition, the vehicle's air intake grille blades are controlled to a fully closed state. The hot vehicle condition determination steps are as follows: according to the vehicle speed information, it is determined whether the current vehicle speed is 0. If the current vehicle speed is 0, it is determined whether the temperature difference between the inside temperature and the outside temperature is greater than 5°C. If so, it is determined whether the inside air conditioner is in a heating state. If so, it is determined that the vehicle is in a hot vehicle condition. When it is determined that the vehicle is in a hot vehicle condition, the vehicle's air intake grille blades are controlled to a fully closed state. When all the above judgment conditions are met, it is determined to be a hot vehicle condition. It should be noted that the present application is applied to electric vehicles. In addition, it should be noted that the general hot vehicle condition is mostly used in winter to quickly increase the temperature inside the vehicle by heating the vehicle, increase the temperature of the vehicle's operating parts, and enable the vehicle to reach a good vehicle operating state.

[0065] In one embodiment, when a user approaches the vehicle and unlocks the vehicle, the blades of the air intake grille open, enhancing the customer's sense of ceremony while also having a welcoming effect.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a control device for a vehicle air intake grille provided by the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control device of the vehicle air intake grille includes:

[0067] Collection module 201: used to collect vehicle status signals, which include: speed signals, visual signals, and rainfall signals.

[0068] The judgment module 202 is used to judge whether the vehicle is in a car washing machine state according to the collected vehicle state signal.

[0069] Control module 203: used to control the vehicle's air intake grille blades to a fully closed state when the vehicle is in a car washing machine state.

[0070] Furthermore, in a possible implementation manner, the judgment module 202 is further configured to judge whether the vehicle speed is 0 according to the collected vehicle speed signal;

[0071] When the vehicle speed is 0, judging whether there is a car washing machine drum outside the vehicle through the collected visual signals;

[0072] When there is a car washing machine drum outside the car, the collected rainfall signal is used to determine whether the rainfall outside the car is greater than the set threshold;

[0073] When the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than a set threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a car wash state.

[0074] Furthermore, in a possible implementation manner, the control module 203 is further configured to determine the opening angle of the air intake grille blades by reading the position signal of the vehicle air intake grille motor.

[0075] Determine whether the opening angle of the air intake grille blades is greater than 0;

[0076] When the opening angle of the air intake grille blades is greater than 0, the air intake grille blades are controlled to be in a fully closed state.

[0077] Further, in a possible implementation manner, the judgment module 202 is further configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a hot vehicle condition according to the vehicle speed information, the vehicle exterior temperature, the vehicle interior temperature information, and the air conditioning on state;

[0078] When it is determined to be a hot vehicle operating condition, the vehicle's air intake grille blades are controlled to be in a fully closed state.

[0079] Furthermore, in a possible implementation manner, the determination module 202 is further configured to determine whether the current vehicle speed is 0;

[0080] If the current vehicle speed is 0, the temperature inside the vehicle and the temperature outside the vehicle are judged;

[0081] If the temperature difference between the temperature inside the vehicle and the temperature outside the vehicle is greater than the preset temperature difference, it is determined whether the air conditioner inside the vehicle is in heating state;

[0082] If the air conditioner in the car is in heating state, it is determined to be in hot car condition.

[0083] Furthermore, in a possible implementation manner, the acquisition module 201 is also used to acquire a speed signal of the vehicle through a vehicle wheel speed sensor; acquire a visual signal of the vehicle through a vehicle camera; and acquire a rainfall signal through a vehicle rain sensor.

[0084] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 The figure shows a flow chart of the car washing working condition judgment provided by the present invention, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the steps include:

[0085] Step S301: Determine whether the vehicle speed is 0 based on the collected vehicle speed signal.

[0086] Step S302: When the vehicle speed is 0, determine whether there is a car washing machine drum outside the vehicle through the collected visual signals.

[0087] Step S303: When there is a car washing machine drum outside the vehicle, determine whether the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than a set threshold through the collected rainfall signal.

[0088] Step S304: When the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than a set threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a car washing machine state.

[0089] Specifically, based on the vehicle speed signal collected by the vehicle wheel speed sensor, it is determined whether the vehicle speed is 0. If the vehicle speed is 0, based on the visual signal collected by the camera, that is, the camera takes a picture of the outside of the vehicle, it is determined whether there is a car wash drum outside the vehicle. If there is a car wash drum outside the vehicle, based on the rainfall signal collected by the rain sensor, it is determined whether the rainfall outside the vehicle is greater than 90mm / min. If so, it is determined to be in a car wash state. It should be noted that when all the above conditions are met, the vehicle is determined to be in a car wash state. If any of the above conditions is not met, it is determined that the vehicle is not currently in a car wash state, and the judgment is made again.
