[0040] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Some of the block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities, which do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor systems and / or microcontroller systems.

[0042] Referring to "embodiments" herein means that the specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The phrase appears in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0043] Currently, during vehicle driving, especially in cold environments such as rainy days, cold and humid fog is likely to appear on the inner side of the front windshield of the car, affecting the driver's vision. Especially when driving on the highway, the driver's driving speed is fast and it is inconvenient to clean. The existing methods cannot display the defogging strategy in real time, and there is no effective method to deal with it when inconvenient-to-clean parts such as the rearview mirror are blocked by fog.

[0044] Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention provide a window cold fog cleaning and warning system and method based on a transparent A-pillar, which intelligently improves the defogging system, provides a real-time display of the defogging strategy and the rearview mirror vision blocked by fog for the driver, and further improves the safety during driving. The following will be described and introduced through multiple embodiments.

[0045] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a window cold fog cleaning and warning system 100 based on a transparent A-pillar provided by the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the window cold fog cleaning and warning system 100 based on a transparent A-pillar includes an induction module 120, an A-pillar warm air supply module 140, a front windshield fog cleaning module 130, and an intelligent management module 110;

[0046] The induction module 120 is used to sense the temperature difference inside and outside the vehicle in real time and detect the visibility of the front windshield and the rearview mirror in real time;

[0047] The A-pillar warm air supply module 140 is used to supply warm air to the front windshield along the side of the transparent A-pillar;

[0048] The front windshield fog cleaning module 130 is used to clean and defog the inner side of the front windshield.

[0049] The intelligent management module 110 is configured to, when it is determined that the temperature difference between the inside and the outside is greater than a preset temperature difference threshold, send a reminder to turn on the A-pillar heating air supply module 140, or turn on the A-pillar heating air supply module 140, or send a reminder to increase the air-conditioning power; when it is determined that the visibility is less than a preset visibility threshold, send a reminder to turn on the front windshield fog cleaning module 130, or turn on the front windshield fog cleaning module 130.

[0050] It can be understood that the temperature difference refers to the numerical difference in the temperature of an object. In this embodiment, the numerical difference in the temperature between the interior space of the vehicle and the external environment of the vehicle is mainly measured. Visibility represents the maximum ground horizontal distance at which a person with normal vision can still clearly see the target contour under the current weather conditions. The visibility value can be calculated by measuring the specific optical properties of the atmosphere using optical equipment; the front windshield refers to the front windshield of a vehicle. The reminder in this embodiment can be a voice reminder, or a reminder by image flashing or image display.

[0051] The reasons for the formation of fog on the window glass include: 1. Due to the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the vehicle, the window is prone to fogging. The temperature of the window glass in contact with the outside is relatively low, and the water vapor inside the vehicle condenses on the glass to form fog; 2. The window temperature is lower than the dew point temperature. When the air humidity is constant, if the window temperature is lower than the dew point temperature, it is very easy to form condensation on the surface of the window, and fog will appear on the front windshield; 3. There is a certain temperature difference on both sides of the window. If the temperatures on both sides of the window are different, the saturated vapor pressure of the water on the surface of the side with the lower temperature is lower than the vapor pressure of the surrounding environment, and the water vapor will gather on the glass surface and seep out in the form of tiny water droplets to form fog.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that the temperature difference is the main factor causing the glass to fog. In this application, by measuring the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the vehicle, it is determined whether there is a fogging risk based on the temperature difference between the inside and the outside, so as to supply heating in advance to prevent fogging. At the same time, considering that the defogging effect is poor and the fog cannot be cleared in time, by measuring the visibility, the driver is further reminded to turn on the front windshield fog cleaning module 130 to quickly clear the fog.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the solution of this embodiment not only starts from the aspect of window fogging. By measuring the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle and sensing whether there may be a fogging phenomenon based on the temperature difference, if the temperature difference between the inside and outside is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold, the driver is prompted to turn on the A-pillar heating air supply module 140 for heating air delivery to prevent fogging. Further, it also considers the situation where the defogging effect is poor and the fog cannot be cleared in time. By measuring the visibility at the front view window and the rear view window, it is judged whether there is a risk of affecting the field of vision at the front view window. When there is a risk of affecting the field of vision, a reminder to turn on the front view window fog cleaning module 130 is sent to remind the driver to turn on the front view window fog cleaning module 130 to quickly clear the fog, and it is possible to avoid traffic accidents caused by the affected field of vision to the greatest extent. Compared with the prior art where only the inner side of the front view window can be defogged by warm air, in this embodiment, by setting the front view window fog cleaning module 130, the inner side of the front view window is actively cleaned and defogged, and the purpose of instant cleaning can be achieved.

[0054] Based on the above embodiment, as a preferred implementation manner, it further includes an image module 150, and the image module 150 is used to collect images of the front and rear of the vehicle and display them at a preset position inside the vehicle.

[0055] The intelligent management module 110 is further used to automatically turn on the image module 150 when it is judged that the visibility is less than the preset visibility threshold.

[0056] In this embodiment, by further setting the image module 150, the image module 150 is used when the visibility is low. During the defogging or fog sweeping process, there is a period of missing or unclear field of vision. In this case, the image module 150 collects the traffic flow and pedestrian flow information in the vehicle driving environment and displays the real-time scenes in front of and behind the vehicle to provide the driver with a field of vision.

[0057] Based on the above embodiment, as a preferred implementation manner, the image module 150 includes an outer A-pillar camera 151, a front view camera 152, a rear view camera 153, and an A-pillar display screen 154.

[0058] The outer A-pillar camera 151 is arranged on the outer side of the transparent A-pillar. The outer A-pillar camera 151 is used to collect the first image within a set angle range on the outer side of the transparent A-pillar. The front view camera 152 is arranged inside the front view window and is used to collect the second image of the road ahead of the vehicle.

[0059] The rear view camera 153 is installed at the edge of the rearview mirror. The rear view camera 153 is used to collect the third image of the road behind the vehicle.

[0060] The A-pillar display screen 154 is disposed inside the transparent A-pillar and is used to display the first image, and / or, the second image, and / or, the third image.

[0061] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the camera can provide the driver with a full-range visual reference of the vehicle surroundings, in addition to setting a front-view camera 152 on the front windshield for collecting images of the vehicle side, A-pillar outer cameras 151 are set on the transparent A-pillars on both sides for collecting images within a set range outside the transparent A-pillars, and rear-view cameras 153 are set at the rear-view mirrors on both sides for collecting images of the rear of the vehicle. The traffic flow information in front is collected through the A-pillar outer cameras 151 and the front-view camera 152, etc., and strategies such as calculating the reasonable driving speed of the vehicle are combined with the visible degree collected above; the visible degree that changes dynamically, the reasonable driving speed and driving strategies are displayed in a partial area of the A-pillar display screen 154; the visible degree is sensed through the rear-view mirror sensor. If the visible degree of the rear-view mirror is lower than a certain threshold, the road view in the direction of the rear-view mirror is temporarily displayed on the A-pillar display screen 154. The A-pillar display screen 154 is also used to display warning information, the calculated reasonable driving speed and driving strategies, and the image of the rear of the vehicle, etc.

[0065] The cold fog cleaning warning unit is also used to determine that the visibility has dropped below the danger value when it judges that the first visibility is less than the preset second visibility threshold, and then activate the front window fog cleaning module 130 to perform an active fog cleaning operation on the inner side of the front window for rapid defogging. If it is not lower than the danger value (the second visibility threshold), the A-pillar heating air supply module 140 will continue to be enabled at the set power.
