Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of control technology, and in particular relates to a vehicle floating control device after falling into water. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement and development of technology, vehicles have become an important means of transportation, and vehicle safety is receiving increasing attention from users. When a vehicle falls into water or encounters heavy rain or floods, it may be submerged, threatening the lives of the people inside.

[0003] In related technologies, protective airbags are typically installed under the vehicle or around the wheels, or automatic window-breaking devices are installed. However, when a vehicle falls into water or is gradually submerged by heavy rain or floods, the underside and wheels will come into contact with the water first, which may damage the circuitry that deploys the airbags. Furthermore, obstacles around the wheels may prolong the airbag deployment time or even prevent the airbags from deploying. Even with automatic window-breaking devices, if the occupants cannot swim or cannot remain calm, they may not be able to effectively save themselves after the windows break automatically, and their lives will still be threatened. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The data processing module, which communicates with the control module, is used to determine whether the target vehicle's submersion depth has reached a threshold, obtain the target determination result, and send the result to the control module.

[0009] The control module, which communicates with the hot air balloon module, is used to control the hot air balloon module to start and make the hot air balloon rise when the target judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold.

[0010] In some embodiments, the device further includes:

[0011] The data acquisition module is located on the side of the target vehicle, with its bottom end flush with the bottom of the vehicle body. It is connected to the data processing module and is used to collect the pressure data and / or water depth data it experiences, and send the pressure data and / or water depth data to the data processing module.

[0012] In some embodiments, the data acquisition module includes: a pressure level sensor and / or a liquid sensor.

[0013] The pressure level sensor is used to collect the first pressure at a first location and the second pressure at a second location, and then send the first and second pressures to the data processing module. The first location is the bottom of the pressure level sensor, and the second location is the position where the pressure level sensor intersects with the water surface.

[0014] The data processing module is also used to determine the vehicle body's immersion depth based on the first and second pressures, and to determine whether the immersion depth has reached a threshold depth. The height of the pressure level sensor is not less than the threshold depth.

[0015] The liquid sensor is used to acquire its target immersion depth in water and send the target immersion depth to the data processing module.

[0016] The data processing module is also used to determine whether the vehicle body's immersion depth has reached the immersion depth threshold based on the target immersion depth. The vehicle body's immersion depth is equal to the target immersion depth, and the height of the liquid sensor is not less than the immersion depth threshold.

[0017] In some embodiments, the target determination result includes a first determination result and / or a second determination result. The data processing module includes: a communication module, a computing module, and a storage module.

[0018] The communication module, which is connected to the pressure level sensor and the computing module, receives the first and second pressure readings from the pressure level sensor and transmits them to the computing module.

[0020] The storage module is used to store the first judgment result.

[0021] And / or,

[0025] In some embodiments, the device further includes:

[0026] The switch module, which communicates with the control module, is used to send a start signal to the control module in response to the user's start input.

[0027] The control module is also connected to the storage module. Upon receiving a start signal, it obtains the first judgment result stored in the storage module and controls the hot air balloon module to start when the first judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, so that the hot air balloon rises. If the first judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has not reached the water immersion depth threshold, the hot air balloon module is not started.

[0028] In some embodiments, the control module is further configured to acquire the second judgment result stored in the storage module, and when the second judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, control the hot air balloon module to start, so that the hot air balloon rises.

[0029] In some embodiments, the hot air balloon module further includes:

[0030] The exit window, embedded in the outer surface of the target vehicle's roof and located above the hot air balloon, is connected to the control module.

[0031] The fan, located below the hot air balloon, is connected to the control module.

[0032] The burner, located below the hot air balloon, is connected to the control module.

[0033] The internal housing, located below the hot air balloon, is used to secure the control module and four first pulleys. The four first pulleys are fixed to the four corners inside the internal housing, and the control module communicates with the four first pulleys.

[0034] One end of each of the four ropes is fixed to one of the four first pulleys, and the other end passes through one of the four second pulleys fixed to the four corners of the vehicle roof, and is fixed to the edge of the hot air balloon opening. When the hot air balloon module is not activated, a predetermined length of rope from each of the four ropes is wound around one of the four first pulleys.

[0035] The control module is used to open the exit window, start the fan, and make the hot air balloon rise when the target judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold. It also acquires the rotation data of the four first pulleys, determines the total length of the four ropes released based on the rotation data, and starts the burner when the total length reaches the length threshold.

[0036] In some embodiments, the switch module includes:

[0037] The exit window switch is used to send a close exit window signal to the control module in response to the user's first close input. The control module is also used to control the exit window to close upon receiving the close exit window signal.

[0038] The fan switch is used to send a fan shutdown signal to the control module in response to a second shutdown input from the user. The control module is also used to control the fan to shut down upon receiving the fan shutdown signal.

[0039] The burner switch is used to send a burner-off signal to the control module in response to a third user-inputted shutdown signal. The control module is also used to control the burner to shut down upon receiving the burner-off signal.

[0040] The first pulley switch is used to send a pulley rotation signal to the control module in response to the user's fourth close input. The control module is also used to control the rotation of the four first pulleys to recover the hot air balloon upon receiving the pulley rotation signal.

[0041] In some embodiments, the top of the target vehicle has a sandwich panel.

[0042] The fan, burner, internal housing, and four second pulleys are all fixed inside the interlayer.

[0043] When the hot air balloon module is not activated, the hot air balloon is located in the interlayer.

[0044] In some embodiments, the immersion depth threshold is 20 cm.

[0045] In the vehicle submersion floating control device of this application embodiment, the hot air balloon module is located on top of the target vehicle and includes a hot air balloon and a rope. The hot air balloon is connected to the target vehicle via the rope. The data processing module is communicatively connected to the control module and is used to determine whether the water depth of the target vehicle reaches a water depth threshold, obtain a target judgment result, and send the target judgment result to the control module. The control module is communicatively connected to the hot air balloon module and is used to control the hot air balloon module to start when the target judgment result indicates that the water depth of the target vehicle has reached the water depth threshold, so that the hot air balloon rises. Since the hot air balloon is connected to the target vehicle via the rope, when the hot air balloon rises, it can apply an upward pull to the target vehicle, reducing the water depth of the target vehicle. Thus, since the hot air balloon module is located on top of the target vehicle, it can avoid the problem of circuit control failure due to water contact, and it can also avoid the problem of the device failing to trigger when encountering obstacles. It also eliminates the need for occupants to swim to save themselves, thus greatly ensuring the safety of the occupants. Attached Figure Description

[0056] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.

[0057] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0058] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the architecture of a vehicle floating control device provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle floating control device may include: a hot air balloon module 110, a data processing module 120, and a control module 130.

[0060] The hot air balloon module 110, located on top of the target vehicle, includes a hot air balloon 111 and a rope 112. The hot air balloon 111 is connected to the target vehicle via the rope 112.

[0061] The data processing module 120, which is communicatively connected to the control module 130, is used to determine whether the water immersion depth of the target vehicle has reached the water immersion depth threshold, obtain the target determination result, and send the target determination result to the control module 130.

[0062] The control module 130 is communicatively connected to the hot air balloon module 110 and is used to control the hot air balloon module 110 to start when the target judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, so that the hot air balloon 111 rises.

[0063] Specifically, the data processing module 120 can determine whether the target vehicle's submersion depth has reached a submersion depth threshold, obtain a target determination result, and send the target determination result to the control module 130. Then, if the target determination result indicates that the vehicle's submersion depth has reached the submersion depth threshold, the control module 130 can control the hot air balloon module 110 to start, causing the hot air balloon 111 to rise. Since the hot air balloon 111 is connected to the target vehicle via rope 112, it can apply an upward pull to the target vehicle, reducing the target vehicle's submersion depth.

[0064] In some implementations, to better ensure the safety of people inside the vehicle, the water immersion depth threshold can be 20cm.

[0065] Thus, the vehicle submersion floating control device provided in this application embodiment can activate the hot air balloon module when the vehicle body is submerged in water to a depth of 20cm, causing the hot air balloon to rise and apply an upward pulling force to the target vehicle, thereby reducing the submersion depth of the target vehicle and ensuring the safety of the people inside the vehicle to a greater extent.

[0066] Of course, the water depth threshold can be set according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0067] Therefore, the hot air balloon module, located on top of the target vehicle, includes a hot air balloon and ropes. The hot air balloon is connected to the target vehicle via the ropes. The data processing module communicates with the control module to determine whether the target vehicle's submersion depth has reached a threshold, obtaining a target judgment result, which is then sent to the control module. The control module communicates with the hot air balloon module to activate the hot air balloon module and ascend it when the target judgment result indicates that the target vehicle's submersion depth has reached the threshold. Because the hot air balloon is connected to the target vehicle via ropes, it applies an upward pull to the target vehicle as it ascends, reducing the vehicle's submersion depth. Thus, since the hot air balloon module is located on top of the target vehicle, it avoids electrical control failure due to water contact, prevents the device from failing to trigger due to obstacles, and eliminates the need for occupants to swim for self-rescue, thus greatly ensuring the safety of the occupants.

[0068] In some embodiments, to more accurately determine the submersion depth of the target vehicle, the device may further include:

[0069] The data acquisition module 140 is located on the side of the target vehicle, with its bottom end flush with the bottom of the vehicle body. It is communicatively connected to the data processing module 120 and is used to collect the pressure data and / or water depth data it bears, and send the pressure data and / or water depth data to the data processing module 120.

[0070] Specifically, the data acquisition module 140 can acquire its own pressure data and / or immersion depth data, and send this pressure data and / or immersion depth data to the data processing module 120. Since the data acquisition module 140 is located on the side of the target vehicle and its bottom is flush with the bottom of the vehicle body, the immersion depth of the data acquisition module 140 itself can be equal to the immersion depth of the target vehicle body when the water level is not higher than the data acquisition module 140.

[0071] In this way, the pressure data and / or immersion depth data that the vehicle experiences can be collected by the data acquisition module and sent to the data processing module so that the data processing module can more accurately determine the immersion depth of the target vehicle.

[0072] In some embodiments, to more accurately acquire pressure data and / or water depth data, the data acquisition module 140 may include: a pressure level sensor 141 and / or a liquid sensor 142.

[0073] The pressure level sensor 141 is used to collect the first pressure at the first position and the second pressure at the second position, and send the first and second pressures to the data processing module 120.

[0074] The data processing module 120 is also used to determine the vehicle body's immersion depth in water based on the first pressure and the second pressure, and to determine whether the vehicle body's immersion depth has reached the immersion depth threshold.

[0075] Liquid sensor 142 is used to acquire its own target immersion depth in water and send the target immersion depth to the data processing module.

[0076] The data processing module 120 is also used to determine whether the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold based on the target water immersion depth, and the vehicle body's water immersion depth is equal to the target water immersion depth.

[0077] Here, the height of the pressure water level sensor 141 can be no less than the water immersion depth threshold. The first position can be the bottom of the pressure water level sensor 141, and the second position can be the position where the pressure water level sensor 141 intersects with the water surface. The height of the liquid sensor 142 can also be no less than the water immersion depth threshold.

[0078] Liquid pressure, or hydraulic pressure for short, refers to the pressure exerted within a liquid by the liquid's own weight. The water level can be calculated using the pressure formula.

[0079] For example, it can be as follows Figure 2 As shown, the pressure water level sensor 141 and the liquid sensor 142 can be located on the side of the target vehicle, with their bottom ends flush with the bottom of the vehicle body, for example, near the wheels. If the water depth threshold is 20cm, the B horizontal line is the horizontal line where the bottom of the vehicle body is located, and the A horizontal line is the horizontal line on the vehicle body 20cm from the bottom of the vehicle body, that is, ΔH = 20cm. The bottom ends of the pressure water level sensor 141 and the liquid sensor 142 need to be on the B horizontal line, and their top ends need to reach at least the A horizontal line.

[0080] The pressure level sensor 141 can collect the pressure P that it bears at its bottom. B The pressure P experienced at the point where it intersects the water surface. X The liquid sensor 142 can collect its own immersion depth in water. Since the bottom of the liquid sensor 142 is flush with the bottom of the vehicle body, the immersion depth of the liquid sensor 142 is equal to the immersion depth of the vehicle body in water.

[0081] Thus, pressure data and / or water depth data can be collected more accurately through pressure level sensors and / or liquid sensors.

[0082] In some implementations, to more accurately determine whether the vehicle body's immersion depth has reached a immersion depth threshold, the data processing module 120 may include: a communication module 121, a calculation module 122, and a storage module 123.

[0083] The communication module 121 is communicatively connected to the pressure level sensor 141 and the calculation module 122. It is used to receive the first pressure and the second pressure sent by the pressure level sensor 141, and to send the first pressure and the second pressure to the calculation module 122.

[0084] The calculation module 122, communicatively connected to the storage module 123, is used to calculate the vehicle body's immersion depth based on the first and second pressures, determine whether the vehicle body's immersion depth has reached a immersion depth threshold, obtain a first judgment result, and send the first judgment result to the storage module 123.

[0085] Storage module 123 is used to store the first judgment result.

[0086] And / or,

[0087] Communication module 121, which is communicatively connected to liquid sensor 142 and computing module 122, is used to receive the target water depth sent by liquid sensor 142 and send the target water depth to computing module 122.

[0088] The calculation module 122, which is communicatively connected to the storage module 123, is used to determine whether the vehicle body's immersion depth has reached a immersion depth threshold based on the target immersion depth, obtain a second determination result, and send the second determination result to the storage module 123.

[0089] Storage module 123 is used to store the second judgment result.

[0090] Here, the above target judgment results may include the first judgment result and / or the second judgment result.

[0091] Specifically, when the data acquisition module 140 includes a pressure level sensor 141, the communication module 121 can receive the first pressure and the second pressure collected by the pressure level sensor 141 and send them to the calculation module 122. Then the calculation module 122 can calculate the vehicle body immersion depth and determine whether the vehicle body immersion depth has reached the immersion depth threshold to obtain the first judgment result. Then the first judgment result is sent to the storage module 123 for storage.

[0092] For example, the formula for liquid pressure is: P = ρgH, where P is the liquid pressure, ρ is the liquid density, g is the local gravitational acceleration, and H is the liquid height.

[0093] Therefore, the first pressure Second pressure

[0094] The method for calculating the vehicle's submersion depth based on the first and second pressures can be as follows:

[0095]

[0096] Furthermore, when the data acquisition module 140 includes a liquid sensor 142, the communication module 121 can receive the target water immersion depth collected by the liquid sensor 142 and send it to the calculation module 122. Then, the calculation module 122 determines whether the target water immersion depth is equal to the vehicle body water immersion depth and obtains a first judgment result. The first judgment result is then sent to the storage module 123 for storage.

[0097] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the communication module 121 can be located near the pressure level sensor 141 and / or the liquid sensor 142. Of course, in order to prevent the communication module 121 from failing due to water contact, the communication module 121 can also be set higher than the pressure level sensor 141 and / or the liquid sensor 142. It can also be set in other locations according to actual needs, which is not limited here.

[0098] In this way, the data processing module can accurately determine whether the vehicle body's immersion depth has reached the immersion depth threshold based on the pressure data and / or immersion depth data collected by the sensors.

[0099] In some embodiments, to prevent accidental activation of the hot air balloon module due to improper operation by personnel inside the vehicle, the device may further include:

[0100] The switch module 150, which is communicatively connected to the control module 130, is used to send a start signal to the control module 130 in response to a user's start input.

[0101] The control module 130 is also communicatively connected to the storage module 123. When a start signal is received, the control module 130 obtains the first judgment result stored in the storage module 123. If the first judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, the control module 110 is started to make the hot air balloon 111 rise. If the first judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has not reached the water immersion depth threshold, the control module 130 is not started.

[0102] Specifically, when the user activates the switch module 150, the switch module 150 can send a start signal to the controller 130. Then, upon receiving the start signal, the controller 130 can obtain the first judgment result stored in the storage module 123. If the first judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, the controller 130 will activate the hot air balloon module 110 to make the hot air balloon 111 rise. If the first judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has not reached the water immersion depth threshold, the controller 130 will not activate the hot air balloon module 110.

[0103] For example, the switch module 150 can be a button, but it can also be other types of switches, which are not limited here.

[0104] In this way, if the vehicle body is not submerged in water to the required depth, the hot air balloon module will not be triggered even if the user manually starts the switch module, thus preventing accidental triggering of the hot air balloon module due to improper operation by the people inside the vehicle.

[0105] Of course, the controller 130 can also obtain the second judgment result stored in the storage module 123, and determine whether to start the hot air balloon module 110 based on the second judgment result, without limitation here.

[0106] In some implementations, to prevent the occupants from being unable to manually start the switch module due to mental stress or physiological conditions, the control module 130 can also be used to obtain the second judgment result stored in the storage module 123, and when the second judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, control the hot air balloon module 110 to start, so that the hot air balloon 111 rises.

[0107] In other words, the control module 130 can actively obtain the second judgment result from the storage module 123 in real time or periodically, and when the second judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, it controls the hot air balloon module 110 to start, so that the hot air balloon 111 rises. When the second judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has not reached the water immersion depth threshold, it does not start the hot air balloon module 110.

[0108] In this way, the hot air balloon module can be automatically triggered, avoiding the inability of passengers to manually start the switch module due to mental stress or physiological conditions.

[0109] Of course, the controller 130 can also obtain the first judgment result stored in the storage module 123 and determine whether to automatically trigger the start of the hot air balloon module 110 based on the first judgment result, which is not limited here.

[0110] In some implementations, in Figure 1 Based on the combination Figures 2 to 5 In detail, the hot air balloon module 110 may also include:

[0111] The exit window 113 is embedded in the outer surface of the target vehicle's roof and located above the hot air balloon 111, and is communicatively connected to the control module 130.

[0112] Fan 114, located below hot air balloon 111, is communicatively connected to control module 130.

[0113] Burner 115, located below hot air balloon 111, is communicatively connected to control module 130.

[0114] The internal housing 116, located below the hot air balloon 111, is used to fix the control module 130 and four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163, and 1164. The four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163, and 1164 are respectively fixed inside the internal housing at the four corners. The control module 130 is communicatively connected to the four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163, and 1164.

[0115] One end of each of the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123, and 1124 is fixed to one of the four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163, and 1164, respectively. The other end passes through four second pulleys 1001, 1002, 1003, and 1004 fixed at the four corners of the vehicle roof, and is fixed to the edge of the opening of the hot air balloon 111. When the hot air balloon module 110 is not activated, a predetermined length of rope from each of the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123, and 1124 is wound around the four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163, and 1164.

[0116] The control module 130 is used to open the exit window 113 and start the fan 114 to make the hot air balloon 111 rise when the target judgment result indicates that the water depth of the vehicle body has reached the water depth threshold. It also acquires the rotation data of the four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163 and 1164, determines the total length of the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124 released based on the rotation data, and starts the burner 115 when the total length reaches the length threshold.

[0117] Specifically, when the vehicle body reaches the water depth threshold, the control module 130 can open the outlet window 113 and start the fan 114, causing the hot air balloon 111 to emerge from the outlet window 113 and rise. During the ascent, the hot air balloon 111 will pull four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163 and 1164, releasing four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124. The control module 130 can also acquire the rotation data of the four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163 and 1164, and determine the total length of the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124 based on the rotation data. When the total length reaches the length threshold, it can be indicated that the rope release is complete. Then, the burner 115 can be started to apply power to the hot air balloon 111.

[0118] The rotation data may include the circumference and number of rotations of the four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163 and 1164. The four second pulleys 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004 may be used to transmit the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124.

[0119] The controller 130 may include a data storage unit for recording the total length of the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124 released.

[0120] For example, the release length of the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124 can all be 3m, and the length threshold can be 12m. When the total release length of the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124 reaches 12m, it indicates that the rope release is complete and the burner 115 can be started.

[0121] For example, controller 130 can open outlet window 113 to provide an outlet for hot air balloon 111, and then can start fan 114. When hot air balloon 111 receives a vertically upward force from fan 114, it can... Figure 6 As shown, protruding from the exit window 113, the balloon bulges outwards along the direction of the exit window 113. Four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163, and 1164, pulled by the hot air balloon 111, release four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123, and 1124. Once the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123, and 1124 have been released, the burner 115 can be activated to power the hot air balloon 111. Figure 7 As shown, hot air balloon 111 can then take off and apply an upward force to the target vehicle, reducing the depth of the target vehicle's body in the water.

[0122] In some embodiments, to facilitate the shutdown of the hot air balloon module, the switch module 150 may further include:

[0123] An exit window switch (not shown in the figure) is used to send a close exit window signal to the control module 130 in response to the user's first close input. The control module 130 is also used to control the exit window 113 to close upon receiving the close exit window signal.

[0124] The fan switch 151 is used to send a fan shutdown signal to the control module 130 in response to a second shutdown input from the user. The control module 130 is also used to control the fan 114 to shut down upon receiving the fan shutdown signal.

[0125] Burner switch 152 is used to send a burner shutdown signal to control module 130 in response to a third user shutdown input. Control module 130 is also used to control burner 115 to shut down upon receiving the burner shutdown signal.

[0126] The first pulley switch 153 is used to send a pulley rotation signal to the control module 130 in response to the user's fourth close input. The control module 130 is also used to control the four first pulleys 1161, 1162, 1163 and 1164 to rotate and recover the hot air balloon 111 when the pulley rotation signal is received.

[0127] Here, once the target vehicle returns to a safe environment, the user can turn off the hot air balloon module 110 via the switch module 150.

[0128] Specifically, the hot air balloon 111 can be recovered by closing the exit window 113 via the exit window switch, shutting off the fan 114 via the fan switch 151, shutting off the burner 115 via the burner switch 152, and retracting the four ropes 1121, 1122, 1123 and 1124 via the first pulley switch 153.

[0129] Of course, the outlet window switch can also be used to open the outlet window 113, the fan switch 151 can also be used to start the fan 114, and the burner switch 152 can also be used to start the burner 115.

[0130] Thus, the hot air balloon module can be started and shut down more flexibly based on the aforementioned switch.

[0131] In some implementations, to prevent circuit control failure due to water contact and to address the issue of the device outlet not triggering in time when encountering obstacles, the target vehicle has a sandwich panel on its roof.

[0132] The fan 114, burner 115, internal housing 116, and four second pulleys 1001, 1002, 1003, and 1004 are all fixed within the interlayer.

[0133] When the hot air balloon module 110 is not activated, the hot air balloon 111 is located in the interlayer.

[0134] In this way, the hot air balloon 111, fan 114, burner 115, internal box 116 and four second pulleys 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004 are located in the roof interlayer, which can avoid failure due to water contact caused by being in a low position, and can also avoid damage caused by environmental factors such as wind, sun and rain when exposed on the roof, and can also be more aesthetically pleasing.

[0135] To better describe the manual and automatic triggering workflows of the vehicle water-floating control device provided in this application, a specific example is given below for each of the above embodiments.

[0136] Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating the manual triggering process of a vehicle floating control device in water, as provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0137] like Figure 8 As shown, the manual triggering process of the vehicle submerged floating control device provided in this application embodiment may include S810-S850, wherein:

[0138] S810 collects pressure data.

[0139] Specifically, the pressure level sensor can collect the first pressure at the first position and the second pressure at the second position, and send them to the communication module of the data processing module.

[0140] S820 determines the first judgment result based on pressure data.

[0141] Specifically, in the data processing module, the communication module sends the first pressure and the second pressure to the calculation module. The calculation module calculates the vehicle body's immersion depth based on the first pressure and the second pressure, determines whether the vehicle body's immersion depth has reached the immersion depth threshold, obtains the first judgment result, and then stores the first judgment result in the storage module.

[0142] S830, the controller received a manual trigger signal.

[0143] S840, the controller determines whether the vehicle body's immersion depth in water has reached the immersion depth threshold.

[0144] Specifically, after receiving the signal from the user to start the switch module, the controller retrieves the first judgment result from the storage module and determines whether the first judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold. If yes, S850 is executed; otherwise, the process ends.

[0145] S850 controls the start-up of the hot air balloon module.

[0146] Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating the automatic triggering process of a vehicle floating control device in water, as provided in one embodiment of this application.

[0147] like Figure 9 As shown, the automatic triggering process of the vehicle submerged floating control device provided in this application embodiment may include S910-S950, wherein:

[0148] S910 collects water depth data.

[0149] Specifically, the liquid sensor can collect its own target immersion depth in water and send it to the communication module of the data processing module.

[0150] S920 determines the second judgment result based on the target water depth.

[0151] Specifically, in the data processing module, the communication module sends the target water immersion depth to the calculation module. The calculation module determines that the vehicle body water immersion depth is equal to the target water immersion depth and judges whether the vehicle body water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold, obtains a second judgment result, and then stores the second judgment result in the storage module.

[0152] S930, the controller obtains the second judgment result.

[0153] S940, the controller determines whether the vehicle body's immersion depth in water has reached the immersion depth threshold.

[0154] Specifically, after the controller obtains the second judgment result from the storage module, it determines whether the second judgment result indicates that the vehicle body's water immersion depth has reached the water immersion depth threshold. If yes, it executes S950; otherwise, it ends.

[0155] S950 controls the start-up of the hot air balloon module.

[0156] Thus, using two sensors allows the vehicle floating control device to continue working even if one sensor fails, ensuring the safety of the target vehicle and its occupants as much as possible. Moreover, the dual protection provided to the target vehicle and its occupants can be achieved through both manual and automatic triggering modes.

[0157] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application. Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working processes of the devices, modules, and units described above can be referred to the corresponding processes in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here. It should be understood that the protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this application.
