[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] An automatic driving car, also known as an unmanned driving car, is an intelligent car that realizes unmanned driving through a computer system. A camera is a core sensor of automatic driving and is the basis for realizing numerous planning and control of automatic driving. The primary task in the process of automatic driving is road recognition. According to the installation position of the camera, it can be divided into front view, side view, rear view, built-in, and all-around view.

[0041] In an automatic driving vehicle, a front view camera is used as a main camera and can realize the recognition of obstacles, lane lines, road curbs, traffic signal lights, traffic signs, and drivable areas, and plays a crucial role in the process of vehicle driving. At present, the common cleaning method of the front view camera is to use a wiper to clean the windshield in front of the front view camera. Since the front view camera is located at the top of the front windshield, the length of the conventional wiper is not enough to clean the windshield at the front view camera, and therefore, the wiper needs to be lengthened.

[0042] However, this cleaning method affects the stability of the wiper and makes the windshield covering the camera have poor cleaning effect.

[0043] To this end, the application provides a windshield device for vehicle and a vehicle, which fixes the cleaning member by using the relative motion principle of the object, and drives the camera cover plate to reciprocate on the cleaning member by using the driving unit, so as to wipe the water droplets left on the outside of the camera cover plate. Compared with the traditional way of cleaning the windshield at the camera by using the wiper, the device does not need to be lengthened, which ensures the stability of the wiper, can clean the windshield covering the camera alone, and makes the windshield covering the camera have a better cleaning effect.

[0044] The windshield device for vehicle in the embodiment is further described below.

[0045] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the windshield device for vehicle provided by the embodiment of the application; Figure 2 is Figure 1 is an enlarged detail view of A in Figure 3a is a static state schematic diagram of the camera cover plate in the windshield device for vehicle provided by the embodiment of the application; Figure 3b is an upward motion schematic diagram of the camera cover plate in the windshield device for vehicle provided by the embodiment of the application; Figure 3c is a downward motion schematic diagram of the camera cover plate in the windshield device for vehicle provided by the embodiment of the application.

[0046] As Figure 1 indicated, the application provides a windshield device for vehicle. As can be seen from Figure 1 , the windshield device for vehicle 10 comprises a front windshield assembly 100 and a cleaning assembly 200, the front windshield assembly 100 comprises a front windshield 110 and a transparent camera cover plate 120, the front windshield 110 has a mounting groove 130, and the mounting groove 130 defines a sliding groove 131 extending along the extension direction of the front windshield 110, the camera cover plate 120 is located in the mounting groove 130 and is arranged to slide along the sliding groove 131, and the camera cover plate 120 covers the camera protection area of the front windshield 110; the cleaning assembly 200 comprises a cleaning member 210 and a driving unit 220, the cleaning member 210 is located on the side of the camera cover plate 120 away from the front windshield 110; the driving unit 220 is configured to drive the camera cover plate 120 to slide along the sliding groove 131, the sliding track of the camera cover plate 120 passes through the cleaning member 210, and the surface of the side of the camera cover plate 120 away from the front windshield 110 and the cleaning member 210 are in contact with each other, so that the cleaning member 210 cleans the camera cover plate 120.

[0047] Thus, by using the relative motion principle of the object, the cleaning member 210 is fixed, the driving unit 220 is used to drive the camera cover plate 120 to reciprocate on the cleaning member 210, and the water droplets remaining on the outside of the camera cover plate 120 are wiped off. Compared with the traditional way of cleaning the windshield in front of the camera by using a rain wiper, the device does not need to be lengthened, which ensures the stability of the rain wiper, can be cleaned separately, and has a good cleaning effect.

[0048] Specifically, a sealing rubber strip (not shown in the figure) is arranged around the installation groove 130, and the sealing rubber strip is connected with the installation groove 130 in an interference fit manner, which can prevent water droplets and sundries from entering the inside of the front windshield 110 and blocking the camera, thereby affecting the shooting effect of the camera. The shape of the installation groove 130 is rectangular and matches the shape of the camera cover plate 120.

[0049] In some embodiments, the driving unit 220 includes at least one electromagnetic adsorption unit 221, and part of the structure of the camera cover plate 120 is a metal structure, so as to slide along the sliding groove 131 under the action of the electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221.

[0050] The driving unit 220 is the power source for the movement of the camera cover plate 120, and the type of the driving unit 220 can be a pulley mechanism, an electromagnetic adsorption mechanism, etc. In order to save space, the electromagnetic adsorption form is adopted in the present example.

[0051] The number of the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 can be one, and the movement of the camera cover plate 120 is controlled by the controller 300 to control the on-off state of the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221, that is, when the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 is powered on, the camera cover plate 120 slides upward under the action of the magnetic force, and when the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 is powered off, the camera cover plate 120 slides downward under the action of gravity.

[0052] In some embodiments, the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 includes an electromagnetic coil 222, and the electromagnetic coil 222 extends along the width direction of the sliding groove 131, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0053] The electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 is composed of the electromagnetic coil 222 and the core, and the shape of the core is rectangular or hooved, so that the core is more easily magnetized, and the size of the magnetism can be controlled by the strength of the current or the number of turns of the electromagnetic coil 222, or the size of the magnetism can be controlled by changing the resistance to control the current size. At the same time, in order to simplify the assembly process of the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 and reduce the volume of the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221, the electromagnetic coil 222 and the core can be designed as an integrated structure.

[0054] In some embodiments, a part of the camera cover plate 120 is provided with a metal film layer configured to be attracted by the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 to drive the camera cover plate 120 to move.

[0055] The camera cover plate 120 is made of acrylic glass with a light weight, which can make the camera cover plate 120 easily reciprocate under the action of the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221, and the acrylic glass has good wear resistance, which can prolong the service life of the camera cover plate 120.

[0056] The metal film layer is provided at both ends of the camera cover plate 120, and the metal film layer can be made of iron film or nickel film with good magnetism. Specifically, the glass electroplating process can be used to locally and uniformly plate the metal film layer on the surface of the camera cover plate 120. The glass electroplating process for preparing the metal film layer can be suitable for mass production, which can improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost.

[0057] In some embodiments, the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 is two and is arranged at opposite ends of the sliding groove 131 along the extension direction of the sliding groove 131, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0058] The sliding groove 131 is provided in two layers along the depth direction of the mounting groove 130, that is, the sliding groove 131 away from the front windshield 110 is the first layer sliding groove, and the sliding groove 131 close to the front windshield 110 is the second layer sliding groove, and the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 is arranged in the first layer sliding groove. The two ends of the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 are provided with hemispherical protrusions, which are connected in an interference fit with the first layer sliding groove. The purpose of this arrangement is to tightly secure the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 inside the first layer sliding groove, so that relative movement does not occur.

[0059] The camera cover plate 120 is arranged in the second layer sliding groove, and the connection between the camera cover plate 120 and the second layer sliding groove is a clearance fit. The purpose of this arrangement is to provide enough clearance for the camera cover plate 120 to slide in the second layer sliding groove, to avoid the camera cover plate 120 from being stuck during sliding in the second layer sliding groove, and to allow the camera cover plate 120 to be replaced, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle windshield device 10.

[0060] Specifically, a nozzle (not shown in the figure) can also be provided at the first layer sliding groove to spray glass water to remove stains on the surface of the camera cover plate 120.

[0061] The windshield device 10 for vehicle further comprises a controller 300, the controller 300 is electrically connected with the driving unit 220, and the controller 300 controls the two electromagnetic suction units 221 to alternately generate electromagnetic force, so that the camera cover plate 120 reciprocates in the sliding groove 131.

[0062] The two electromagnetic suction units 221 are respectively arranged at the upper part and the lower part of the front windshield 110, the energization states of the two electromagnetic suction units 221 are independent and do not interfere with each other, and the controller 300 can separately control the energization and discharge states of the two electromagnetic suction units 221.

[0063] Specifically, the controller 300 controls the on-off state of the electromagnetic suction unit 221 to control the camera cover plate 120 to move upward or downward, so as to wipe off the water droplets outside the camera cover plate 120.

[0064] In some embodiments, the cleaning member 210 comprises a first cleaning member 211 and a second cleaning member 212 which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the sliding groove 131, the first cleaning member 211 and the second cleaning member 212 extend along the width direction of the sliding groove 131, and the length of the first cleaning member 211 and the second cleaning member 212 is matched with the width of the camera cover plate 120, so that the water droplets in each corner of the camera cover plate 120 can be wiped off.

[0065] In some embodiments, the interval of the first cleaning member 211 and the second cleaning member 212 in the extension direction of the sliding groove 131 is greater than or equal to half of the length of the camera cover plate 120 in the direction, and is less than or equal to the length of the camera cover plate 120 in the direction, which can prevent the first cleaning member 211 and the second cleaning member 212 from blocking the camera, thereby causing safety hazards, and can control the first cleaning member 211 to clean the water droplets on the upper half of the camera cover plate 120 and the second cleaning member 212 to clean the water droplets on the lower half of the camera cover plate 120 during the reciprocating movement of the camera cover plate 120.

[0066] Specifically, the limit distance L of the upward and downward movement of the camera cover plate 120 is the same, L is the distance from the upper surface of the electromagnetic suction unit 221 located at the upper part of the front windshield 110 to the top of the front windshield 110, as shown in Figure 3a .

[0067] It should be noted that a displacement sensor (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the top end of the front windshield 110, which can accurately control the displacement of the camera cover plate 120.

[0068] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 210 is a cleaning cloth, which is snapped onto the bottom of a rectangular tray. The rectangular tray has protrusions on both sides that match the size of the first groove, used to fix the rectangular tray inside the groove 131. The bottom of the rectangular tray can be opened to allow for replacement and cleaning of the cleaning cloth, ensuring it remains clean for extended periods.

[0069] In some embodiments, the cleaning cloth contains a resistance heating wire that can heat water droplets.

[0070] In some embodiments, the system includes a vehicle body, a camera, and a vehicle windshield assembly 10, wherein the windshield 110 of the vehicle windshield assembly 10 is mounted on the vehicle body, and the camera is located on the rear side of the windshield 110 along the vehicle travel direction.

[0071] Specifically, the vehicle windshield device 10 can also be installed at the rearview camera, side view camera and surround view camera to remove water droplets that fall on the camera glass.

[0072] The working process of the vehicle windshield device 10 will be described below.

[0073] Figure 3b This is a schematic diagram illustrating the upward movement of a camera cover plate in a vehicle windshield device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3b As shown, when the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 located on the upper part of the windshield 110 is powered on, the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221 located on the lower part of the windshield 110 is in a de-powered state. A large magnetic field is generated around the electromagnetic adsorption unit 221. At this time, the camera cover 120 moves upward under the action of magnetic attraction. At the beginning of the movement, the head of the camera cover 120 and the middle part of the camera cover 120 pass through the first cleaning component 211 and the second cleaning component 212 in sequence. When the camera cover 120 moves to the position of the second cleaning component 212 at its bottom, the movement of the camera cover 120 reaches the upper limit position.

[0074] Figure 3c This is a schematic diagram of the downward movement of a camera cover plate in a vehicle windshield device provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3cAs shown, when the camera cover plate 120 moves upward to the limit position, the controller 300 controls the electromagnetic absorption unit 221 located at the upper part of the front windshield 110 to be powered off, and the electromagnetic absorption unit 221 located at the lower part of the front windshield 110 to be powered on. At this time, a larger magnetic field is generated around the electromagnetic absorption unit 221 located at the lower part of the front windshield 110, and the camera cover plate 120 moves downward under the action of the magnetic force. When the movement just starts, the bottom of the camera cover plate 120 and the middle part of the camera cover plate 120 pass through the second cleaning element 212 and the first cleaning element 211 in turn. When the bottom of the camera cover plate 120 reaches the position of the electromagnetic absorption unit 221 located at the lower part of the front windshield 110, the downward movement of the camera cover plate 120 reaches the limit, and at this time, the camera cover plate 120 returns to the original position.

[0075] In the embodiment, the front windshield assembly 100 includes a front windshield 110 and a transparent camera cover plate 120, the front windshield 110 has a mounting groove 130, and the mounting groove 130 defines a sliding groove 131 extending along the extension direction of the front windshield 110, and the camera cover plate 120 is located in the mounting groove 130 and is slidingly arranged along the sliding groove 131, and the camera cover plate 120 covers the camera protection area of the front windshield 110.
