It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the brush holding device provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0058] The holding brush includes a mounting frame 100, including two holding brush units 200 arranged side by side on the mounting frame 100 along a first horizontal direction, the holding brush unit 200 includes a lever 201 mounted on the mounting frame 100 and rotating around a vertical axis, and a brush 202 arranged on the lever 201, and the brush 202 can be switched between a working state and a non-working state by the rotation of the lever 201; the cylinder 300 is arranged on the mounting frame 100 and is connected to the lever 201 for controlling the rotation of the lever 201. When both sides of the vehicle need to be cleaned, the vehicle is moved along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction to the cleaning area between the two brushes 202, and then cleaning liquid is sprayed on the vehicle. After that, the control mechanism 300 controls the lever arm 201 to rotate around the corresponding vertical axis, and the lever arm 201 can drive the corresponding brush 202 to move around the vertical axis. When the two brushes 202 move to fit the two side walls of the vehicle, the brushes 202 are in a working state. After that, when the vehicle is moved, or the holding brushes are moved, or both the vehicle and the holding brushes are moved, the brushes 202 can gradually scrub both sides of the vehicle. When the scrubbing is completed, the lever arm 201 drives the brushes 202 to separate from the two side walls of the vehicle, and the brushes 202 are in a non-working state. Finally, the vehicle is moved out of the cleaning area to complete the cleaning of both sides of the vehicle.

[0069] Step 202: Obtain a preset pressure value corresponding to the real-time rotation angle value. Specifically, obtain appropriate preset pressure values corresponding to several rotation angle values through testing.
[0070] Step 203: Acquire a second real-time pressure value of the brush holding cylinder in real time.
