The collision sensor 10 is arranged on the chassis of the vehicle, and is used to send a collision signal when the chassis is collided. The image acquisition module 20 is arranged on the chassis, and is used to acquire a chassis image of the outside of the chassis. The controller 30 is used to receive the collision signal sent by the collision sensor 10, and control the image acquisition module 20 to acquire the chassis image when the collision signal is received, and determine the collision state of the chassis according to at least the chassis image acquired by the image acquisition module.

[0020] The chassis collision state detection device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a collision sensor 10 and an image acquisition module 20, so that when the chassis is collided, the image of the chassis is automatically acquired, and the acquired image is analyzed to determine the collision state, thereby realizing automatic detection of the collision state of the chassis, without the need for the user to get off the vehicle to check, saving time, and the operation is convenient. Moreover, the collision state is determined according to the acquired chassis image, which can avoid the fact that some collision positions are not discovered in time, thereby avoiding causing safety problems.

[0021] In some embodiments, the collision sensor 10 can include a pressure sensor, which converts a pressure signal into an electrical signal when colliding with an obstacle and sends the electrical signal as a collision signal. The collision sensor 10 can be arranged at a position of the chassis where collision is likely to occur, for example, a position on the chassis that is relatively close to the ground. The collision sensor 10 can also be arranged at a position of the chassis corresponding to a relatively important part of the vehicle, for example, a position of the chassis corresponding to an engine or an oil tank. In other embodiments, the collision sensor 10 can also be a distance sensor, which sends a collision signal when detecting that the distance between the chassis and an obstacle is 0, i.e., the chassis is collided with the obstacle. The distance sensor can be, for example, an ultrasonic distance sensor, a laser distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor, etc.

[0022] The chassis image acquired by the image acquisition module 20 can be an image of the side of the chassis close to the ground, and the acquired chassis image can be an image of the entire surface of the side of the chassis close to the ground.

[0023] In some embodiments, the image acquisition module 20 can include a camera, for example, an infrared wide-angle camera. Since the chassis is located at the bottom of the vehicle, the chassis image can be acquired by the infrared wide-angle camera, which can avoid the influence of insufficient visible light on the acquisition of the chassis image. Obviously, the image acquisition module 20 can also be other types of cameras, for example, a visible light camera, etc. The image acquired by the image acquisition module 20 can include the profile, roughness, flatness, size in the Z-axis direction, etc. of the side of the chassis close to the ground, and the Z-axis direction is perpendicular to the chassis.

[0024] The controller 30 can be a central processing unit (CPU), a microcontroller, a single-chip microcomputer, a digital signal processor, etc.

[0028] By comparing the chassis image collected at present and the chassis image after the chassis is collided once, the collision position of the chassis at present and the collision depth of the collision position can be determined. The collision depth of the collision position can be determined according to the size of the collision position in the Z-axis direction in the chassis image collected at present and the size of the collision position in the Z-axis direction in the chassis image after the chassis is collided once.

[0029] In some embodiments, after the collision state of the chassis is determined, the controller 30 is further configured to control the chassis image collected by the image collection module 20 at present to replace the chassis image after the chassis is collided once in the storage module 40, so as to update the chassis image, thereby facilitating the determination of the collision position and the collision degree by image comparison when the chassis is collided next time.

[0030] In some embodiments, the chassis image collected by the image collection module 20 is an image of the entire surface of the side of the chassis close to the ground, and the controller 30 controls the chassis image collected by the image collection module 20 at present to directly replace the chassis image collected after the chassis is collided once after the collision state of the chassis is determined.

[0031] In some embodiments, the controller 30 is further configured to control the image acquisition module 20 to acquire a chassis image of the outer side of the chassis after the chassis is repaired, and control the acquired chassis image to be stored in the storage module 40 to replace the chassis image stored in the storage module 40, so as to update the chassis image. The chassis image to be replaced can be the chassis image acquired after the chassis is collided once or the chassis image acquired after the chassis is repaired once, i.e., the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 is the image of the latest state of the chassis. After each collision or repair, the acquired chassis image is stored in the storage module 40 to replace the previously stored chassis image, so that the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 can reflect the latest state of the chassis.

[0032] In some embodiments, the controller 30 is further configured to control the image acquisition module 20 to acquire a chassis image of the outer side of the chassis after the chassis is repaired, and control the acquired chassis image to be stored in the storage module 40 to replace the chassis image stored in the storage module 40, so as to update the chassis image. The chassis image to be replaced can be the chassis image acquired after the chassis is collided once or the chassis image acquired after the chassis is repaired once, i.e., the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 is the image of the latest state of the chassis. After each collision or repair, the acquired chassis image is stored in the storage module 40 to replace the previously stored chassis image, so that the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 can reflect the latest state of the chassis.

[0033] In some embodiments, the controller 30 is further configured to control the image acquisition module 20 to acquire a chassis image of the outer side of the chassis after the chassis is repaired, and control the acquired chassis image to be stored in the storage module 40 to replace the chassis image stored in the storage module 40, so as to update the chassis image. The chassis image to be replaced can be the chassis image acquired after the chassis is collided once or the chassis image acquired after the chassis is repaired once, i.e., the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 is the image of the latest state of the chassis. After each collision or repair, the acquired chassis image is stored in the storage module 40 to replace the previously stored chassis image, so that the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 can reflect the latest state of the chassis.

[0034] In some embodiments, the chassis collision state detection device 100 further comprises a running state acquisition module 50 configured to acquire the running state of the vehicle, and the controller 30 is configured to determine the collision degree according to the collision depth and the running state acquired by the running state acquisition module 50. The running state at least includes whether the brake of the vehicle is normal and / or whether the oil tank of the vehicle is leaking.

[0035] The collision degree is determined according to the collision depth and the running state, and the influence of the collision depth and the collision on the running of the vehicle is considered, so that the collision degree of the chassis can be more accurately reflected.

[0036] The running state acquisition module 50 sends the acquired running state to the controller 30, and the controller 30 determines the collision degree according to the collision depth and the running state when receiving the running state.

[0037] The running state acquisition module 50 can be a CAN (Controller Area Network) communication module, which can be in communication connection with an engine controller, a body controller, a central controller and the like of the vehicle, and can also be in communication connection with the controller 30. The CAN communication module is used to acquire the running state of the vehicle.

[0038] The storage module 40 can prestore a plurality of collision levels and a preset corresponding relationship between the collision depth and the running state. Each collision level corresponds to a collision depth range and a running state. The earlier the collision level is, the more serious the collision degree is. For example, the plurality of collision levels include a first collision level, a second collision level, a third collision level and a fourth collision level. The first collision level corresponds to a first depth range, and the corresponding running state includes brake abnormality and oil tank leakage. The second collision level corresponds to a second depth range, and the upper limit value of the second depth range can be less than the lower limit value of the first depth range, or the second depth range partially overlaps with the first depth range. The corresponding running state includes brake abnormality and no oil tank leakage. The third collision level corresponds to a third depth range, and the upper limit value of the third depth range can be less than the lower limit value of the second depth range, or the third depth range partially overlaps with the second depth range. The corresponding running state includes normal brake and no oil tank leakage. The fourth collision level corresponds to a fourth depth range, and the upper limit value of the fourth depth range is less than the lower limit value of the third depth range. The corresponding running state includes normal brake and no oil tank leakage. The corresponding running states of different collision levels can be the same or different.

[0039] The controller 30 can determine the collision level, i.e. the collision degree, according to the determined collision depth, the acquired running state and the preset corresponding relationship.

[0040] When there are a plurality of collision positions, the current collision level can be determined according to the collision depth corresponding to the collision position with the largest collision depth and the current running state of the vehicle.

[0041] Obviously, the collision levels can also be divided in other ways, for example, the entire surface area of the side of the chassis close to the ground is divided into a plurality of sub-areas, and each sub-area is provided with a plurality of collision levels corresponding to a collision depth and an operating state.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, the collision depth range corresponding to each collision level can be set according to actual needs. The division of collision levels can also be set according to actual needs. Here, no limitation is made.

[0043] In other embodiments, the operating state can also include whether the accelerator of the vehicle is normal, whether the clutch is normal, whether the tire is deflated, etc. Obviously, it can also include the state of other functional components of the vehicle or parameters related to driving, etc.

[0045] The display module 60 can be a display screen, for example, a touch display screen or a mechanical key display screen, etc.

[0046] The controller 30 can mark the collision position and the collision degree on the chassis image currently collected by the image collection module 20 to generate the collision state picture after determining the collision position and the collision degree. In some embodiments, the controller 30 can also mark the collision depth of each collision position on the chassis image to generate the collision state picture.

[0047] In some embodiments, the controller 30 can also control the display module 60 to display the operating state obtained by the operating state acquisition module 50, so that the user can more clearly know the operating state of the vehicle after the current collision.

[0048] In some embodiments, the collision sensor 10 comprises a plurality of sub-collision sensors 11, which are respectively arranged at different positions of the chassis, each of the sub-collision sensors 11 is configured to send the collision signal when the sub-collision sensor 11 is collided. The controller 30 is configured to receive the collision signals sent by the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11, and when the collision signals sent by the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 are received, control the image acquisition module 20 to acquire the chassis image, and determine the collision state of the chassis according to at least the chassis image acquired by the image acquisition module 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, the sub-collision sensor 11 can be a pressure sensor or a distance sensor.

[0050] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 can be arranged on the side of the chassis close to the ground, and can also be arranged on the side of the chassis away from the ground.

[0051] In some embodiments, the controller 30 is configured to control the image acquisition module 20 to acquire the chassis image when any one or more of the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 sends the collision signal.

[0052] In some embodiments, by arranging a plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 at different positions on the chassis, the accuracy of detecting the collision state of the chassis when the chassis is collided can be improved.

[0053] In some embodiments, the image acquisition module 20 comprises a plurality of sub-image acquisition modules 21, which are respectively arranged at different positions of the chassis, each of the sub-image acquisition modules 21 is configured to acquire the image of the region where the corresponding position is located, and the image formed by splicing the images acquired by the plurality of sub-image acquisition modules 21 comprises all regions on the outside of the chassis, i.e. the entire surface region on the side of the chassis close to the ground, so that some collision positions can be prevented from being missed.

[0054] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-image acquisition modules 21 can be arranged on the side of the chassis close to the ground, or embedded in the chassis.

[0055] In some embodiments, the images acquired by the plurality of sub-image acquisition modules 21 can be partially overlapped, and the controller 30 can obtain the chassis image by aligning and splicing the overlapping parts in the images acquired by the plurality of sub-image acquisition modules 21.

[0056] In other embodiments, the images acquired by the plurality of sub-image acquisition modules 21 can also just abut each other.

[0058] In some embodiments, the image acquisition module 20 includes a plurality of sub-image acquisition modules 21, which are respectively arranged at different positions of the chassis and correspond to the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 one-to-one. Each sub-image acquisition module 21 is configured to acquire an image of the region where the corresponding sub-collision sensor 11 is located. The controller 30 is configured to determine the position of the sub-collision sensor 11 upon receiving the collision signal from the sub-collision sensor 11, and control the sub-image acquisition module 21 corresponding to the sub-collision sensor 11 that sends the collision signal to acquire an image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located, thereby obtaining the chassis image.

[0059] The controller 30 is further configured to compare the image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located acquired by the sub-image acquisition module 21 with the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 after the chassis is last collided to determine the collision position and the collision depth of the collision position, or compare the image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located acquired by the sub-image acquisition module 21 with the chassis image stored in the storage module 40 after the chassis is last repaired to determine the collision position and the collision depth of the collision position. That is, the controller 30 is configured to compare the image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located acquired by the sub-image acquisition module 21 with the image of the latest state of the chassis stored in the storage module 40 to determine the collision position and the collision depth of the collision position.

[0060] The controller 30 is further configured to compare the image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located acquired by the sub-image acquisition module 21 with the image of the corresponding region in the image of the latest state of the chassis to determine the specific orientation and collision depth of the collision position in the corresponding region.

[0061] By collecting the image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located collided by the obstacle and comparing the image with the image of the corresponding region in the image of the latest state of the chassis, the computational load can be reduced, so that the collision position and the collision degree can be determined faster, and the user can obtain the collision position and the collision degree faster.

[0062] After the collision state of the chassis is determined according to at least the image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located collected by the sub-image collection module 21, the controller 30 is configured to store the image of the region where the sub-collision sensor 11 is located collected by the sub-image collection module 21 in the storage module 40, to replace the part of the corresponding region in the image of the latest state of the chassis stored in the storage module 40, so as to update the image of the chassis.

[0063] In some embodiments, the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 can be arranged at positions corresponding to specific functional components of the vehicle, i.e., the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 can be arranged at positions of the chassis directly opposite to the specific functional components, and the orthographic projection of the plurality of sub-collision sensors 11 on the specific functional components is located in the specific functional components.

[0064] The specific functional components can be functional components of the vehicle with a higher importance level, for example, the specific functional components can be an engine, a fuel tank, a brake, etc. Thus, when the relatively important functional components are collided, the user can be informed in time, so as to avoid causing a larger safety problem.
