Brief Description of the Drawings

[0046] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the ice removal device for the vehicle charging port in the embodiment;

[0047] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the installation position of the vibration module in the embodiment. Detailed Embodiment

[0048] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the ice removal device for the vehicle charging port includes several components such as vibration modules, refrigeration modules, sensing modules, and control modules. Among them, by setting the vibration module, the basic function of the ice removal device for the vehicle charging port can be realized. On this basis, by setting the control module, sensing module, and refrigeration module, the advanced functions of the ice removal device for the vehicle charging port can be realized.

[0049] Referring to Figure 1 , the sensing module specifically includes one or any number of components such as a temperature - humidity sensing unit (which can be composed of a temperature sensing unit and a humidity sensing unit to integrate functions such as temperature detection and humidity detection), a distance sensing unit, a weather sensing unit, a navigation unit, and a charging port cover switch unit. These components are connected to the control module through the CAN bus. The ice removal device for the vehicle charging port is also provided with a power supply to supply power to the vibration module, refrigeration module, and control module, and a relay is set as the switch of the power supply circuit.

[0050] In this embodiment, a piezoelectric ceramic sheet device can be used as the vibration module. When the control module sends a control instruction to the vibration module (which can be amplified by an amplifier and then input to the vibration module), based on the piezoelectric effect, the vibration module converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate vibration. An eccentric wheel device or an ultrasonic vibrator can also be used as the vibration module.

[0051] In this embodiment, the vibration module can be installed only around the charging port (such as at positions like the sheet metal parts near the charging port), or only on the charging port cover, or on both the periphery of the charging port and the charging port cover. For example, referring to Figure 2, vibration modules such as vibration module 1, vibration module 2, vibration module 3, vibration module 4, vibration module 5, vibration module 6, vibration module 7, and vibration module 8 are arranged on the vehicle charging port and the vehicle charging port cover. Specifically, these vibration modules can be installed at the position where the charging port cover contacts the charging port when the charging port cover is closed, such as the edge position of the charging port cover.

[0052] If vibration modules are installed both around the charging port and on the charging port cover, the positions of the vibration modules installed around the charging port and those installed on the charging port cover can be opposite or staggered. When using the opposite position method, the vibration effect of the vibration modules can be enhanced. When using the staggered position method, each vibration module can cover a larger range without increasing the number of vibration modules.

[0053] Refer to Figure 1 , after the vehicle charging port deicing device is installed on the vehicle, it can be used in combination with a mobile terminal installed with a vehicle control APP and a charging pile installed with a Bluetooth module. Specifically, the vehicle occupants can use the vehicle control APP installed on the mobile terminal to send a control command to the control module, thereby triggering the control module to drive the vibration module to vibrate. Physical buttons can also be installed at positions such as the vehicle's center console. The physical buttons are connected to the control module. When the vehicle occupants press the physical buttons, the physical buttons generate a trigger signal and send it to the control module, thereby triggering the control module to drive the vibration module to vibrate.

[0054] In this embodiment, the working principle of the basic function of the vehicle charging port deicing device is as follows: By the operation of the vibration module, it can drive components such as the charging port cover and the sheet metal parts around the charging port to vibrate, thereby causing the ice condensed between the charging port cover and the components around the charging port to fall off, avoiding the charging port cover from being adhered and unable to be opened; when the vibration module operates, it breaks the ice through mechanical energy and does not need to melt the ice to release its adhesion to the charging port cover. Therefore, it can avoid the generation of liquid water from entering the fuel filling port or the charging port, and can reduce the risk of faults such as oil circuit pollution or circuit short - circuit.

[0055] In this embodiment, the sensing module can perform detections to obtain sensing information. Specifically, Figure 1 When different units in the shown sensing module perform detections, different forms of sensing information can be obtained. Correspondingly, the control module can perform corresponding data processing processes according to different forms of sensing information, thereby controlling each vibration module. The following will take the example of when a single unit in the sensing module works to collect sensing information and the control module performs corresponding control processes according to the sensing information for illustration.

[0056] When the temperature sensing unit in the sensing module (a part of the temperature and humidity sensing unit) performs the step of detection to obtain sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0057] S101A. Detect the external environment of the vehicle through the temperature sensing unit to obtain the external air temperature information.

[0058] The temperature sensing unit can be installed near the charging port cover. In this way, the external air temperature information detected by the temperature sensing unit represents the external air temperature near the charging port cover. The temperature sensing unit sends the detected external air temperature information to the control module.

[0059] When performing step S101A, when the control module executes the step of controlling each vibration module according to the sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0060] S201A. Generate a vibration control instruction when the external air temperature information is lower than the temperature threshold;

[0061] S202A. Send the vibration control instruction to the vibration module.

[0062] In step S201A, the temperature threshold can be set to 0°C. The control module compares the external air temperature information with the temperature threshold of 0°C. If the external air temperature information is lower than or equal to the temperature threshold of 0°C, then the control module generates a vibration control instruction. Among them, the vibration control instruction can be a waveform with a certain amplitude and frequency. In step S202A, if the vibration module itself integrates a signal amplification device, the vibration control instruction can be directly sent to the vibration module. If the vibration module itself does not integrate a signal amplification device, the vibration control instruction can be first sent to the amplification device for amplification and then sent to the vibration module.

[0063] In step S202A, the vibration module generates vibration based on principles such as the piezoelectric effect under the drive of the vibration control instruction.

[0064] In this embodiment, the principles of executing step S101A and steps S201A - S202A are as follows: When it is detected that the external air temperature information is lower than the temperature threshold, it can be reasonably judged that ice bonding has occurred between the charging port cover and the charging port. At this time, driving the vibration module to vibrate for deicing can prepare for the user to open the charging port cover. On the other hand, deicing work can be carried out at any time to avoid an increase in the deicing difficulty due to the further increase of the ice block.

[0065] When the humidity sensing unit in the sensing module (a part of the temperature and humidity sensing unit) performs the step of detection to obtain sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0066] S101B. Detect the external environment of the vehicle through the humidity sensing unit to obtain the external humidity information.

[0067] When performing step S101B, when the control module executes the step of controlling each vibration module according to the sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0068] S201B. Generate a vibration control instruction when the external vehicle humidity information is higher than the humidity threshold;

[0069] S202B. Send the vibration control instruction to the vibration module.

[0070] In step S201B, the humidity threshold can be set to 70%. The control module compares the external vehicle humidity information with the humidity threshold of 70%. If the external vehicle humidity information is higher than or equal to the humidity threshold of 70%, then the control module generates a vibration control instruction. Among them, the vibration control instruction can be a waveform with a certain amplitude and frequency. In step S202B, if the vibration module itself integrates a signal amplification device, the vibration control instruction can be directly sent to the vibration module. If the vibration module itself does not integrate a signal amplification device, the vibration control instruction can be first sent to the amplification device for amplification and then sent to the vibration module.

[0071] In step S202B, the vibration module generates vibration based on principles such as the piezoelectric effect under the drive of the vibration control instruction.

[0072] In this embodiment, the principle of executing step S101B and steps S201B - S202B is as follows: When it is detected that the external vehicle humidity information is higher than the humidity threshold, it can be reasonably judged that there is a condition of ice bonding between the charging port cover and the charging port. At this time, driving the vibration module to vibrate for de - icing can prepare for the user to open the charging port cover. On the other hand, de - icing work can be carried out at any time to avoid the ice cubes from further increasing and resulting in an increase in the difficulty of de - icing.

[0073] When the temperature and humidity sensing unit and the distance sensing unit in the sensing module execute the step of performing detection and obtaining sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0074] S101C. Detect the external vehicle environment through the temperature and humidity sensing unit to obtain the external vehicle temperature information and the external vehicle humidity information;

[0075] S102C. Detect the distance between the vehicle and the destination through the distance sensing unit to obtain the destination distance information.

[0076] Step S101C is equivalent to the combination of step S101A and S101B.

[0077] In step S102C, refer to Figure 1, when a Bluetooth module is installed in the charging pile, a Bluetooth signal detection device can be used as the distance sensing unit. The distance sensing unit detects the Bluetooth signal emitted by the Bluetooth module of the charging pile, and determines the distance between the distance sensing unit and the Bluetooth module through the information of the detected Bluetooth signal. This is equivalent to taking the charging pile as the destination, and the obtained destination distance information represents the distance between the vehicle and the destination.

[0078] When steps S101C - S102C are executed, when the control module executes the step of controlling each vibration module according to the sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0079] S201C. When the outside temperature information of the vehicle is lower than the temperature threshold, the outside humidity information of the vehicle is higher than the humidity threshold, and the destination distance information is less than the distance threshold, generate a vibration control instruction;

[0080] S202C. Send the vibration control instruction to the vibration module.

[0081] In step S201C, the temperature threshold can be set to 0°C, the humidity threshold to 70%, and the distance threshold to 10m. The control module compares the outside temperature information of the vehicle with the temperature threshold of 0°C, compares the outside humidity information of the vehicle with the humidity threshold of 70%, and compares the destination distance information with the distance threshold of 10m. If "the outside temperature information of the vehicle is lower than or equal to 0°C", "the outside humidity information of the vehicle is higher than or equal to the humidity threshold of 70%", and "the destination distance information is equal to or less than the distance threshold of 10m" are all established at the same time, then the control module generates a vibration control instruction.

[0082] In step S202C, under the drive of the vibration control instruction, the vibration module generates vibration based on principles such as the piezoelectric effect.

[0083] In this embodiment, the principle of executing steps S101C - S102C and steps S201C - S202C is as follows: When it is detected that the outside temperature information of the vehicle is higher than the temperature threshold and the outside humidity information of the vehicle is higher than the humidity threshold, it can be reasonably judged that ice bonding has occurred between the charging port cover and the charging port. And when the destination distance information is equal to or less than the distance threshold, for example, when the vehicle is close to the charging pile, the vibration module is driven to vibrate for deicing. The deicing work can be carried out when the user is very likely to use the charging port, so as to prepare for the user to open the charging port cover, and it can avoid the deicing work of the vehicle charging port deicing device when the vehicle is driving or in other states, thus avoiding continuous vibration of components such as the charging port cover.

[0084] In this embodiment, Figure 1The charging pile in the described scenario can also be a device such as a fuel dispenser. When the charging pile or fuel dispenser uses modules such as WiFi or Zigbee, then correspondingly, devices such as WiFi or Zigbee are used as the distance sensing unit.

[0085] When the weather sensing unit and the navigation unit in the sensing module perform the step of detection to obtain sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0086] S101D. Obtain the weather information of the destination through the weather sensing unit;

[0087] S102D. Obtain the real-time position of the vehicle through the navigation unit to obtain the real-time position information.

[0088] In step S101D, a 5G communication device can be used as the weather sensing unit. The 5G communication device accesses the Internet through the 5G communication network and obtains the weather information of the destination from the Internet. The destination can be any location where the Internet can provide weather information, specifically the area that the vehicle is about to drive through. The destination weather information represents the real-time temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather type (such as snowing, foggy, etc.) of the destination.

[0089] In step S102D, a satellite positioning device can be used as the navigation unit. The navigation unit obtains the real-time position information representing the real-time position of the vehicle by receiving satellite positioning signals. As the vehicle moves, the real-time position information also changes in real-time. The navigation unit sends the real-time position information to the control module in real-time.

[0090] When steps S101D - S102D are executed, when the control module performs the step of controlling each vibration module according to the sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0091] S201D. Generate a vibration control instruction when the real-time position information corresponds to the destination and the destination weather information conforms to the preset weather type;

[0092] S202D. Send the vibration control instruction to the vibration module.

[0093] In step S201D, whenever the control module receives new real-time position information, it compares the real-time position information with the coordinates of the destination. When it is confirmed that the real-time position information is within the coordinate range of the destination, then it is determined that the real-time position information corresponds to the destination. The control module compares the destination weather information with the preset weather type (specifically a certain temperature value, humidity value, wind speed value, and weather type, etc.). If the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and weather type represented by the destination weather information are respectively the same as those represented by the preset weather type, then the control module generates a vibration control instruction.

[0094] In step S201D, the weather type represented by the "preset weather type" is specifically a weather type that is likely to cause icing of vehicle components, such as when the temperature is below 5°C, the humidity is above 60%, the wind speed is greater than 10 m / s, and snowy weather, etc.

[0095] In step S202D, the vibration module generates vibrations based on principles such as the piezoelectric effect under the drive of a vibration control instruction.

[0096] In this embodiment, the principle of executing steps S101D - S102D and steps S201D - S202D is as follows: When the real-time position information corresponds to the destination and the weather information of the destination conforms to the preset weather type, it indicates that the vehicle has entered the location where the destination is located, and the weather type of the destination is likely to cause icing of vehicle components. It can be reasonably judged that icing adhesion has occurred between the charging port cover and the charging port. At this time, driving the vibration module to vibrate for de-icing can perform de-icing work when the user is very likely to use the charging port, thus preparing to open the charging port cover for the user, and can avoid the vehicle charging port de-icing device from performing de-icing work when there is no icing risk, thereby avoiding continuous vibration of components such as the charging port cover.

[0097] When the charging port cover switch unit in the sensing module performs the step of detecting and obtaining sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0098] S101E. Send an instruction to open the charging port cover to the charging port cover switch unit;

[0099] S102E. Detect the open state of the charging port cover through the charging port cover switch unit to obtain opening and closing state information.

[0100] In this embodiment, the charging port cover switch unit has the function of opening and closing and locking the charging port cover. Specifically, an electronic lock can be used as the charging port cover switch unit. When the charging port cover switch unit receives an open instruction, it releases the lock on the charging port cover. Without considering abnormal factors such as icing, the charging port cover can be opened from the charging port; when the charging port cover is closed, the charging port cover switch unit locks the charging port cover, and the charging port cover cannot be opened under normal external forces. The charging port cover switch unit can detect the opening and closing state of the charging port cover, generate opening and closing state information, and send the opening and closing state information to the control module.

[0101] When steps S101E - S102E are executed, when the control module executes the step of controlling each vibration module according to the sensing information, the following steps are specifically executed:

[0102] S201E. When the opening and closing state information indicates that the charging port cover is not open, generate a vibration control instruction;

[0103] S202E. Send the vibration control instruction to the vibration module.

[0104] In step S201E, the control module analyzes the opening / closing state information to determine whether the opening / closing state information indicates that the charging port cover is open or not. When the opening / closing state information indicates that the charging port cover is not open, the control module generates a vibration control instruction.

[0105] In step S202E, the vibration module generates vibrations based on principles such as the piezoelectric effect under the drive of the vibration control instruction.

[0106] In this embodiment, the principle of executing steps S101E - S102E and steps S201E - S202E is as follows: When, after sending an open instruction to the charging port cover switch unit, the detected opening / closing state information indicates that the charging port cover is not open, it can be reasonably judged that ice bonding has occurred between the charging port cover and the charging port. At this time, driving the vibration module to vibrate for de - icing can perform de - icing work when ice bonding has indeed occurred between the charging port cover and the charging port, thus preparing for the user to open the charging port cover.

[0107] In this embodiment, when generating a vibration control instruction by executing steps S201A, S201B, S201C, S201D, and S201E, the following steps can be specifically executed:

[0108] S20101. Obtain the vibration parameters of the vehicle body part as the reference vibration parameters;

[0109] S20102. Make multiple adjustments of different magnitudes to the reference vibration parameters respectively, so as to obtain multiple vibration control parameters;

[0110] S20103. Generate a corresponding vibration control instruction according to each vibration control parameter; each vibration control instruction is used to be sent to a corresponding vibration module.

[0111] In step S20101, the control module can call the vibration sensor installed on the vehicle body (specifically, it can be installed near the charging port of the vehicle) to read the vibration sensing signal detected by the vibration sensor. Specifically, the vibration sensor can detect the vibration of the vehicle body caused by factors such as road resistance, air resistance, engine operation, and the actions of passengers in the vehicle. The detected vibration sensing signal can be expressed in the form of , where x represents the displacement of a certain position of the vehicle body near the charging port of the vehicle relative to the zero position, n represents the number of terms of the vibration harmonic, N represents the total number of terms of the vibration harmonic, A n , ω n and θ nrespectively represent the amplitude, frequency, and initial phase of the nth harmonic. One or more values such as the amplitude, frequency, and phase in the vibration sensing signal x(t), or other characteristic values extracted from the vibration sensing signal x(t), can be used as the reference vibration parameters in this embodiment.

[0112] In step S20102, for example, if there are a total of i vibration modules, the reference vibration parameters can be adjusted multiple times with different magnitudes. For example, taking the phase of the vibration sensing signal x(t) as the reference vibration parameter, Δp1, Δp2... Δp i and other i adjustment values are set respectively, and the phase of the vibration sensing signal x(t) is adjusted respectively to obtain (ω n t + θ n + Δp1), (ω n t + θ n + Δp2)... (ω n t + θ n + Δp i ) and other i vibration control parameters.

[0113] In step S20103, according to the vibration control parameter (ω n t + θ n + Δp1), a corresponding vibration control instruction According to the vibration control parameter (ω n t + θ n + Δp2), a corresponding vibration control instruction ... According to the vibration control parameter (ω n t + θ n + Δp i ), a corresponding vibration control instruction

[0114] In step S20103, the vibration control instruction x1(t) is sent to vibration module 1, so that vibration module 1 vibrates according to the waveform corresponding to the vibration control instruction x1(t); the vibration control instruction x2(t) is sent to vibration module 2, so that vibration module 2 vibrates according to the waveform corresponding to the vibration control instruction x2(t)... The vibration control instruction x i (t) is sent to vibration module i, so that vibration module i vibrates according to the waveform corresponding to the vibration control instruction x i (t). Among them, x i (t), x2(t)... x i (t) respectively represent the displacements of the vibration surfaces of vibration module 1, vibration module 2... vibration module i.

[0115] In this embodiment, the principle of executing steps S20101 - S20103 is: by using the vibration control instruction xi (t), x2(t) …… x i (t) are used to control each vibration module respectively, which can make the vibrations generated by each vibration module have different vibration parameters, so that different parts of the ice block between the charging port cover and the charging port are affected by different vibrations, thus making the ice block unevenly stressed, which is beneficial to accelerating the vibration and crushing of the ice block and discharging the space between the charging port cover and the charging port; on the other hand, x i (t), x2(t) …… x i (t) and other vibration control instructions are adjusted on the basis of the vibration sensing signal x(t). When Δp1, Δp2 …… Δp i and other adjustment values are small, the vibrations generated by each vibration module can be kept roughly synchronized with the vibration of the vehicle body, which is beneficial to avoiding the vibrations generated by each vibration module being offset by the vibration of the vehicle body, thus ensuring the de-icing effect of the vibrations generated by each vibration module.

[0116] In this embodiment, a semiconductor refrigeration sheet can be used as the refrigeration module, or the refrigeration end can be led out from the refrigeration system of the vehicle to the position of the vehicle charging port to make a sheet-shaped refrigeration module. The installation method of the vibration module shown in Figure 2 can be referred to, and the refrigeration module is installed at the position between each vibration module.

[0117] When the control module drives the vibration module to work, it also drives the refrigeration module to refrigerate. By using the refrigeration module to refrigerate at the position near the charging port cover and the charging port, the temperature between the charging port cover and the charging port can be kept low, thus avoiding the natural melting of the ice block or melting under the vibration of the vibration module. And the vibration module can de-ice without the ice block melting. Therefore, on the basis of realizing the de-icing effect, it can avoid the generation of liquid water entering the fuel filling port or the charging port, and can reduce the risk of faults such as oil circuit pollution or circuit short circuit.

[0118] The vehicle charging port de-icing device in this embodiment can be used as a component of the vehicle and can be installed on the vehicle by means of repair and transformation after the vehicle is manufactured, or can be installed on the vehicle body during the vehicle manufacturing process to form an integral whole with the vehicle, so that the vehicle has the effect of de-icing the charging port by vibration.
