[0032] The vehicle body is entirely wrapped in metal materials. The cleaning robot can be adsorbed on the metal materials. It can be understood that the cleaning robot is "walking" on the metal materials. The cleaning route of the cleaning robot for cleaning the vehicle is determined according to the coverage range of the metal materials on the vehicle body.

[0033] Among them, an openable area can be designed in the front trunk or rear trunk of the vehicle to store the cleaning robot, charge and replenish water here, and use the area as the starting point and end point of the cleaning route of the cleaning robot.

[0034] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a vehicle cleaning method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle cleaning method includes the following steps:

[0035] S201, determining a cleaning mode of the vehicle based on the cleaning instruction;

[0036] S202, determining whether the current state of the vehicle meets the preset cleaning state;

[0037] S2021: If the conditions are met, the cleaning mode is turned on based on the cleaning instruction, and the cleaning robot is controlled to perform cleaning operations on the vehicle according to the cleaning route corresponding to the cleaning mode.

[0038] Figure 2 Vehicle cleaning methods can be Figure 1 The terminal device may be a vehicle controller, and the cleaning instruction is sent by the terminal device and the server. The terminal device that sends the cleaning instruction may be a vehicle server or a mobile terminal.

[0039] Cleaning instructions include user cleaning instructions sent by the user and system cleaning instructions generated by continuously monitoring collected information when self-cleaning mode is enabled. Cleaning modes include full cleaning mode and partial cleaning mode. The default cleaning state is that the current vehicle gear is in park, the current vehicle door is closed, and the current vehicle movement state is stationary.

[0040] The vehicle's cleaning mode is determined based on the cleaning instructions. When the vehicle's status meets the preset cleaning conditions, the cleaning mode is activated according to the cleaning instructions, and the cleaning robot is controlled to perform cleaning operations on the vehicle along the cleaning route corresponding to the cleaning mode. If the current vehicle status does not meet the preset cleaning conditions, that is, the current vehicle gear is not in the park gear, the current vehicle door is not closed, or the current vehicle motion state is not stationary, the vehicle status is continuously monitored and the cleaning mode is activated when the vehicle status meets the preset cleaning conditions.

[0041] User cleaning commands are received from the user, meaning they are sent via a terminal device or vehicle control interface. The vehicle controller receives the cleaning commands and controls the cleaning robot to perform cleaning operations based on the vehicle's current state. Self-cleaning mode is when the vehicle activates self-cleaning mode, continuously monitoring collected information and generating system cleaning commands. Monitoring of collected information ceases upon exiting self-cleaning mode.

[0042] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the collected information can be continuously monitored and the system cleaning instructions generated can be determined based on the user cleaning instructions sent by the user or the self-cleaning mode is turned on, the cleaning mode of the vehicle can be determined, and the vehicle can be cleaned according to the cleaning route corresponding to the determined cleaning mode when the vehicle meets the pre-cleaning conditions. Flexible cleaning options can be provided when the user needs to clean the vehicle, thereby reducing the number of times the user drives the vehicle to the car wash and improving the convenience of cleaning the vehicle.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the cleaning instruction is a system cleaning instruction, the process of continuously monitoring the collected information and generating the system cleaning instruction when the self-cleaning mode is turned on includes:

[0044] Control the various sensors of the vehicle to continuously collect information, including the external environment information of the current vehicle and the body image information of the current vehicle;

[0045] Based on the collected information, determining whether the collected information meets the preset cleaning conditions, the preset cleaning conditions include full cleaning conditions and partial cleaning conditions;

[0046] If the collected information meets the full cleaning conditions, a system cleaning instruction corresponding to the full cleaning mode is generated;

[0047] If the collected information meets the partial cleaning conditions, a system cleaning instruction corresponding to the partial cleaning mode is generated.

[0048] If the cleaning instruction is a system cleaning instruction, the various sensors of the vehicle are controlled to continuously collect information, and the collected information includes the external environment information of the current vehicle and the body image information of the current vehicle.

[0049] Among them, each sensor includes an image acquisition sensor, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The image acquisition sensor is used to collect vehicle body image information, the temperature sensor is used to collect temperature information in external environment information, and the humidity sensor is used to collect humidity information in external environment information.

[0050] Based on the collected information, it is determined whether the collected information meets the preset cleaning conditions. The preset cleaning conditions include full cleaning conditions and partial cleaning conditions. If the full cleaning conditions are met, a system cleaning instruction corresponding to the full cleaning mode is generated. If the partial cleaning conditions are met, a system cleaning instruction corresponding to the partial cleaning mode is generated.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a vehicle is described as being in a rainy environment while in motion using a humidity sensor. When the vehicle is detected to be stopped and in park, the humidity sensor is controlled to collect humidity information again to determine whether it is raining where the vehicle is parked. If it is not raining, meaning the vehicle is in an indoor parking lot or the weather is not raining, the collected information is determined to meet the full cleaning conditions, and a system cleaning instruction for the full cleaning mode is generated. When the vehicle doors are closed, the cleaning robot is controlled to perform cleaning operations on the vehicle according to the system cleaning instructions for the full cleaning mode.

[0052] In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a cleaning robot performs cleaning operations on a vehicle according to a preset cycle. The system determines the area to be cleaned based on the information continuously collected by various sensors, generates a cleaning route based on the area to be cleaned, and transmits system cleaning instructions for a partial cleaning mode at each preset cycle, controlling the cleaning robot to perform cleaning operations on the vehicle according to the system cleaning instructions for the partial cleaning mode.

[0053] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle is in self-cleaning mode, a system cleaning instruction for the full cleaning mode or a system cleaning instruction for the partial cleaning mode can be generated based on the collected information to control the cleaning robot to clean the vehicle according to the mode corresponding to the system cleaning instruction, thereby improving the intelligence of the cleaning vehicle.

[0054] In some embodiments, determining whether the collected information meets a preset cleaning condition includes:

[0055] Comparing the current external environment information with the historical external environment information, if the historical external environment information shows bad weather and the corresponding weather information in the current external environment information is normal weather information, it is determined that the collected information meets the full cleaning condition corresponding to the preset cleaning condition;

[0056] The external environment information includes weather information, and the historical external environment information is all external environment information recorded since the last time the vehicle exited the cleaning mode.

[0057] The vehicle's sensors continuously collect information. Since the vehicle last exited cleaning mode, each sensor records all external environmental information, including weather information, as historical environmental information. The current external environmental information is compared with the historical external environmental information. If the historical external environmental information indicates inclement weather, and the corresponding weather information in the current sensor-collected external environmental information is normal, the collected information is determined to meet the full cleaning conditions corresponding to the preset cleaning conditions. A system cleaning instruction for the full cleaning conditions is generated, and the cleaning robot is controlled to clean according to the system cleaning instruction.

[0058] Among them, severe weather may include rain, dust, hail and other severe weather.

[0059] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle passes through bad weather and the bad weather ends, the system cleaning instructions can be sent to control the cleaning robot to clean the vehicle, so as to meet the user's requirements for the cleanliness of the vehicle, solve the trouble of driving the vehicle to a car wash for cleaning due to bad weather, and improve the convenience of users in cleaning the vehicle.

[0060] In some embodiments, determining whether the collected information meets a preset cleaning condition includes:

[0061] Divide the collected vehicle body image information into multiple areas according to a preset partitioning method, and determine the dirtiness value of each area;

[0062] If the dirtiness value corresponding to some areas in all the areas is not less than the dirtiness threshold, and the dirtiness value corresponding to another part of the areas in all the areas is less than the dirtiness threshold, the part of the areas will be used as areas to be cleaned, and it will be determined that the collected information meets the partial cleaning conditions corresponding to the preset cleaning conditions.

[0063] The vehicle body image information collected by the image sensor is divided into a plurality of areas according to a preset partitioning method, wherein the preset partitioning method may be an area divided according to a minimum working area of ​​the cleaning robot.

[0064] The vehicle body image information collected by the image sensor is transmitted to a processing module, such as a microcontroller module such as a vehicle body domain controller. The processing module analyzes and processes the vehicle body image information, identifies the characteristics of the vehicle body image information, and compares the area corresponding to the vehicle body image information with the area corresponding to the preset vehicle body image information one by one to determine the dirtiness value of each area. If the dirtiness value corresponding to some areas in all areas is not less than the dirtiness threshold, and the dirtiness value corresponding to another part of areas in all areas is less than the dirtiness threshold, then the part of the area is determined as the area to be cleaned, and it is determined that the collected information meets the partial cleaning conditions.

[0065] Among them, the vehicle body image information is obtained by the corresponding image sensor. If the vehicle is in partial cleaning mode, the corresponding vehicle body image information can be obtained according to one or more of the multiple image sensors selected by the user to generate the area to be cleaned.

[0066] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the area to be cleaned can be determined based on the vehicle body image information, thereby judging that the collected information meets the partial cleaning conditions, and generating system cleaning instructions for the partial cleaning mode to control the cleaning robot to perform partial cleaning of the vehicle and save energy.

[0067] In some embodiments, the priority of the cleaning robot performing a cleaning operation in a full cleaning mode is higher than the priority of the cleaning operation in a partial cleaning mode. The cleaning mode is activated based on the cleaning instruction, and the cleaning robot is controlled to perform a cleaning operation on the vehicle according to the cleaning route corresponding to the cleaning mode, including:

[0068] If the current cleaning mode is full cleaning mode, control the cleaning robot to perform cleaning operations on the entire body of the vehicle according to the preset cleaning route;

[0069] If the current cleaning mode is the partial cleaning mode, the current cleaning route is determined based on the vehicle body image information, and the cleaning robot is controlled to perform a cleaning operation on a portion of the vehicle body according to the current cleaning route.

[0070] The preset cleaning route corresponding to the full cleaning mode is a pre-set cleaning route. When the vehicle is in the full cleaning mode, the cleaning robot is controlled to perform cleaning operations on the entire vehicle body according to the preset cleaning route.

[0071] When the vehicle is in partial cleaning mode, the area to be cleaned is determined according to the vehicle body image information, and the cleaning route corresponding to the partial cleaning mode is determined according to the area to be cleaned and the stored position of the cleaning robot.

[0072] When the vehicle is judged to meet the full cleaning conditions, the cleaning robot is controlled to perform cleaning operations on the entire vehicle body in full cleaning mode. That is, when it is detected that there is bad weather in the historical external environment information and the current vehicle's external environment information is normal weather, or the user mode instruction sent by the user is full cleaning mode, the cleaning robot is controlled to perform cleaning operations on the entire vehicle body in full cleaning mode, and the operations of calculating the dirtiness value of the vehicle body by area and determining the area to be cleaned are not performed.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for determining a cleaning route corresponding to a part of the cleaning modes by using the Floyd algorithm is taken as an example for exemplary description.

[0074] Initialization step: Store the distance between each point in a two-dimensional array dist (representing the address of the first element of the array). If there is no direct connection between two points, the distance is infinite.

[0075] Traversal step: For each point k on the image, traverse all points i and j. If a shorter path can be obtained from i to j through point k, update the value of dist[i][j].

[0076] Update step: used to update the path length. If the shortest path from i to j passes through point k, the path length is dist[i][k] + dist[k][j]. If this value is less than the current dist[i][j], update the value of dist[i][j] to this smaller value.

[0077] The output step is used to output the shortest path result, traverse the dist array, and output the shortest path length between each point.

[0078] Among them, the Floyd algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm used to calculate the shortest path between all points on the way. The time complexity of the algorithm is O(n 3 ), suitable for smaller-scale images.

[0079] The cleaning robot uses the stored locations as the starting and ending points of the cleaning route, calculates the shortest path for the area to be cleaned according to the Floyd algorithm, and uses this as the cleaning route corresponding to the partial cleaning mode to perform cleaning operations on part of the car body.

[0080] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle is in partial cleaning mode, the cleaning robot can plan a corresponding cleaning route based on the stored location and area to be cleaned, and perform cleaning operations on a portion of the vehicle body according to the cleaning route, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning robot. At the same time, when the vehicle is in full cleaning mode, the cleaning robot performs cleaning operations on the entire vehicle body according to the preset cleaning route, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the entire vehicle body.

[0081] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an area to be cleaned provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the square part is the area divided according to the preset division method, and the black part is the marked area to be cleaned. The cleaning route is planned according to the Floyd algorithm and the area to be cleaned, and the cleaning robot is controlled to clean part of the car body.

[0082] In some embodiments, the vehicle cleaning method provided by this application can be implemented by sending a cleaning instruction through a terminal. The user can manually set the start time and cleaning mode of the vehicle cleaning method through the terminal application, and can also adjust the dirt threshold to meet the needs of different users and different scenarios. For example, when participating in a business scene or attending an event, the user can raise the dirt threshold to meet the scene requirements. If the user sends a cleaning instruction through the terminal, it can also control the application on the terminal to request the user's schedule information or weather information to determine when the conditions are met, turn on the self-cleaning mode, and send a system cleaning instruction to clean the vehicle to improve intelligence while meeting the user's cleaning needs for the vehicle.

[0083] Among them, the signal of the application is transmitted to the on-board TBOX (i.e., the Internet of Vehicles system) through the Internet of Vehicles network, thereby communicating with the entire Internet of Vehicles to control the cleaning robot to clean the vehicle body.

[0084] If the cleaning robot needs to refill water or recharge during the cleaning process, it can use the Floyd algorithm to identify the shortest path back to its storage location to refill or recharge. The cleaning robot's water can be shared with the windshield water tank. The cleaning robot can connect and communicate with the vehicle via Bluetooth or wirelessly.

[0085] All of the above optional technical solutions can be combined in any way to form optional embodiments of the present application, and will not be described in detail here.
