[0036] Besides glasses, users also place other items in the storage box in their cars for later use. As the number of times they are used increases, the items will get stained, and users will need to take them home or other places with cleaning facilities to clean them, which is inconvenient for users.

[0037] Based on this, this application provides a car cleaning box that not only has storage functions but also cleaning functions, avoiding the need for users to take items to other places for cleaning, allowing users to clean items inside the car, which is more convenient for users.

[0038] The following describes in detail the technical solutions of one or more embodiments of this application through specific examples, such as a vehicle-mounted cleaning box. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0039] Mounting slot 10 located inside the vehicle body;

[0040] The cleaning box body 20 is located in the mounting groove 10, and an ultrasonic cleaner is provided at the bottom of the cleaning box body 20.

[0041] The cleaning box body 20 is also provided with an injection and drainage assembly 30, which is connected to the vehicle windshield washer fluid storage compartment.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting slot 10 can be located in the sub-dashboard area between the driver's and passenger's seats, which not only facilitates the installation of the mounting slot 10 but also makes it convenient for the driver to access items located in the washer box body 20. The washer box body 20 is located within the mounting slot 10 to conceal the washer box within the vehicle body, allowing for cleaning and storage of items without obstructing the view of the occupants or other vehicle functions. The washer box body 20 is equipped with the water injection and drainage assembly 30, enabling the vehicle washer box to have water injection and drainage functions. The water injection and drainage assembly 30 may include a pipeline, a solenoid valve located on the pipeline, and a pump. One end of the pipeline is connected to the vehicle windshield washer fluid storage compartment, and the other end extends into the bottom of the washer box body 20. The pump and the solenoid valve are both connected to and controlled by the vehicle controller. The water injection and drainage assembly 30 can be connected to the side of the washer box body 20. The washer box body 20 is equipped with an ultrasonic cleaner, enabling the vehicle washer box to have a cleaning function and improving the cleaning effect. The water inlet / outlet assembly 30 is connected to the vehicle-mounted windshield washer fluid storage tank, allowing the cleaning box body 20 to use the windshield washer fluid in the storage tank to clean items inside, and then return the cleaned windshield washer fluid to the storage tank, achieving recycling and environmental protection while also enabling automatic cleaning of items inside the vehicle. Furthermore, combining windshield washer fluid with the ultrasonic cleaner significantly improves the cleaning effect.

[0043] In this embodiment, an installation slot 10 is provided in the vehicle body to accommodate the cleaning box body 20, and an ultrasonic cleaner and an injection / drainage assembly 30 are provided on the cleaning box body 20. The injection / drainage assembly 30 can inject water into and drain water from the cleaning box body 20, and the ultrasonic cleaner can convert ultrasonic waves into mechanical vibrations, causing the water in the cleaning box body 20 to vibrate and clean the items located in the cleaning box body 20. With the combined action of the injection / drainage assembly 30 and the ultrasonic cleaner, a one-stop service for water injection, cleaning and drainage of cleaning items is realized, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of items in the vehicle and making it convenient for users.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower part of the cleaning box body 20 is provided with a signal base 40, and the signal base 40 is provided with a base signal contact 41. The base signal contact 41 is connected to the vehicle controller. The outer bottom surface of the cleaning box body 20 is provided with a cleaning box contact. The cleaning box contact is electrically connected to the ultrasonic cleaner and the water injection and drainage assembly 30. The cleaning box contact is magnetically connected to the base signal contact 41.

[0045] Specifically, the electrical components (such as the ultrasonic cleaner and the water inlet / outlet assembly 30) located within the cleaning box body 20 are all connected to the cleaning box contacts, so as to achieve connection with the vehicle controller through the magnetic connection between the cleaning box contacts and the base signal contacts 41. Both the cleaning box contacts and the base signal contacts 41 can be pins.

[0046] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaner inside the cleaning box body 20 and the water injection / drainage assembly 30 communicating with the interior of the cleaning box body 20 are both electrically connected to the cleaning box contacts. The connection with the vehicle controller is achieved through the magnetic connection between the cleaning box contacts and the base signal contact 41 located on the signal base 40, so that the user can control the operation of the water injection / drainage assembly 30 and the opening and closing of the ultrasonic cleaner through the vehicle controller, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning of the cleaning box.

[0047] In addition, the magnetic connection between the cleaning box contact and the base signal contact 41 makes the connection between the cleaning box contact and the base signal contact 41 more stable, thereby enabling the user to control the vehicle cleaning box through the vehicle controller to achieve a more stable automatic cleaning effect.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vehicle cleaning box further includes a lifting component 50, the cleaning box body 20 and the mounting slot 10 are both connected to the lifting component 50, the cleaning box body 20 can be raised and lowered relative to the mounting slot 10 by the lifting component 50, and the power input end of the lifting component 50 is connected to the vehicle controller.

[0049] In this embodiment, the lifting member 50 is used to lift and connect the cleaning box body 20 to the mounting slot 10, so that the cleaning box body 20 can be lifted and lowered relative to the mounting slot 10 under the drive of the lifting member 50, thereby realizing the lifting function of the vehicle cleaning box. The power input end of the lifting member 50 is connected to the vehicle controller, so that the user can control the lifting and lowering of the lifting member 50 through the vehicle controller.

[0050] It should be noted that when using the vehicle cleaning box, the user can either position the cleaning box body 20 within the mounting slot 10 or raise the cleaning box body 20 relative to the mounting slot 10 to protrude from the vehicle body. The user can flexibly adjust the position according to their needs, making it convenient for the user to use.

[0051] In addition, the side wall of the cleaning box body 20 can be made into a transparent structure so that the user can observe the cleaning situation inside the cleaning box body 20 after raising the cleaning box body 20.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cleaning box body 20 is provided with at least one connecting bracket 60. One end of the connecting bracket 60 is connected to the signal base 40, and the other end is located on the side of the cleaning box body 20. The lifting member 50 is connected to the cleaning box body 20 through the connecting bracket 60.

[0053] Specifically, a connecting bracket 60 is provided on each of the two opposite sides of the cleaning box body 20. For example, the connecting bracket 60 has an L-shaped structure, with one end connected to the signal base 40 and the other end fitted and connected to the side of the cleaning box body 20.

[0054] Specifically, the lifting component 50 can be a lead screw and nut structure. The lead screw is located on the side wall of the mounting groove 10 and is vertically arranged. A slide is fixed on the nut. The slide is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 60. The power input end drives the lead screw to rotate, which drives the nut to move up and down on the lead screw, thereby driving the slide, the connecting bracket 60 and the cleaning box body 20 to move up and down relative to the mounting groove 10.

[0055] Specifically, the power input terminal can be a rotating shaft driven by a servo motor, which is connected to and controlled by the vehicle controller.

[0056] Additionally, it should be noted that since the cleaning box body 20 is located within the mounting slot 10, i.e., embedded in the vehicle body, it would be inconvenient to repair the vehicle cleaning box when it malfunctions. Therefore, the lifting component 50 is provided to enable the vehicle cleaning box to lift. When the vehicle cleaning box needs repair, simply raise the cleaning box body 20 and disengage the magnetic connection between the cleaning box body 20 and the signal base 40 to repair the cleaning box body 20 and its connected components. The lifting component 50 and the signal base 40, which are hidden within the mounting slot 10, can also be repaired, thus improving the ease of repair for the vehicle cleaning box.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lifting component 50 is further defined to drive the cleaning box body 20 to rise and fall relative to the mounting slot 10, making the vehicle cleaning box movable to meet the different height requirements of the cleaning box body 20 when users pick up and put down items to be cleaned. In addition, when the cleaning box body 20 is raised relative to the mounting slot 10, it is easier to disengage its magnetic connection with the signal base 40, facilitating subsequent maintenance of the vehicle cleaning box by the user.

[0058] In some embodiments, the cleaning box body 20 includes a matching box body 21 and a cover 22. The box body 21 is located in the mounting groove 10. A camera and a drying component are provided in the upper part of the box body 21. An exhaust hole 70 is provided on the cover 22. The camera and the drying component are both connected to the cleaning box contacts.

[0059] Specifically, the cover 22 can be translated or rotated relative to the box body 21 to open or close the cleaning box body 20. The cover 22 is adapted to the opening of the mounting groove 10. When the cleaning box body 20 is located in the mounting groove 10, the cover 22 is adapted to the opening of the mounting groove 10 to avoid gaps between the cover 22 and the vehicle body, ensuring the aesthetics of the vehicle body and avoiding the occurrence of hygiene dead corners.

[0060] In this embodiment, the camera and the drying component are positioned at the upper part of the box 21 to prevent them from contacting the water inside the box 21, thereby preventing damage to the camera and the drying component. The camera can identify items inside the box 21, and the drying component can dry the cleaned items for user use. Connecting the camera and the drying component to the cleaning box contacts allows the camera and the drying component to be connected to the vehicle controller, facilitating user control of the camera and the drying component's operation. When the drying component is running, water vapor is discharged through the vent 70. Additionally, the cover 22 may also have an arrow indicating the opening direction of the cover 22. This arrow may be a perforated structure through which water vapor can be discharged, thus enabling the vent 70 to function as a ventilation port.

[0061] It should be noted that the number of base signal contacts 41 on the signal base 40 is the same as the number of cleaning box contacts on the outer bottom surface of the cleaning box body 20, and they are arranged opposite to each other. When the cleaning box body 20 is located on the signal base 40, the cleaning box contacts and the base signal contacts 41 are magnetically attracted to each other. Specifically, there can be only one base signal contact 41 and one cleaning box contact. The base signal contact 41 is connected to the vehicle controller. All electrical components on the cleaning box body 20 are integrated and connected to the cleaning box contacts, thereby realizing the connection between the electrical components on the cleaning box body 20 and the vehicle controller. The electrical components on the cleaning box body 20 include, but are not limited to, the ultrasonic cleaner, the water injection and drainage assembly 30, the camera, the drying component, and the switch structure for controlling the opening and closing of the cover 22. The switch structure for opening and closing the cover 22 can be switched by the vehicle controller or manually opened and closed by the user to realize the opening and closing of the cover 22, further facilitating user use.

[0062] In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted washer box further includes a water quality monitoring device located within the vehicle-mounted windshield washer fluid storage compartment, the water quality monitoring device being connected to the vehicle controller.

[0063] In this embodiment, the water quality monitoring device can monitor the water quality of the windshield washer fluid in the vehicle windshield washer fluid storage tank and feed back the water quality monitoring results to the vehicle controller. This allows the user to understand the water quality of the windshield washer fluid in the vehicle windshield washer fluid storage tank, thereby preventing the use of windshield washer fluid to clean items in the cleaning box body 20 when the water quality is poor, and ensuring the cleaning effect of the vehicle cleaning box.

[0064] The vehicle-mounted cleaning box provided in this application includes a lifting component 50, a water injection / drainage assembly 30, an ultrasonic cleaner, a camera, and a drying component, all of which are connected to a vehicle controller. This allows users to control each component using the vehicle controller, facilitating integrated management of the vehicle-mounted cleaning box and further simplifying user operation.

[0065] It should be noted that the electrical components connected to the vehicle controller are operated through the vehicle controller; that is, the user can control the operation of the electrical components by controlling the vehicle controller.

[0066] Based on the same inventive concept, this application provides a method for controlling an in-vehicle cleaning box as described above, referencing... Figure 3 The method includes:

[0067] Step S100: Based on the obtained cleaning command, control the water injection and drainage assembly 30 to perform the water injection step: inject the preset volume of windshield washer fluid from the on-board windshield washer fluid storage tank into the cleaning box body 20.

[0068] Specifically, users can issue cleaning commands via a physical button located inside the vehicle or a control on a mobile terminal. The physical button or control is connected to the vehicle controller. The cleaning command can be triggered by a single button press or by triggering a control on the mobile terminal. After the cleaning command is issued, the vehicle controller receives it and, based on the command, controls the water injection / drainage assembly 30 to perform a water injection step, injecting a preset volume of water into the cleaning box body 20. This preset volume can be pre-set by the user or generated by the vehicle controller based on the items inside the cleaning box body 20.

[0069] Additionally, when placing items to be cleaned into the cleaning box body 20, users can pour any unfinished drinking water into it to avoid water waste. The ultrasonic cleaner or water level sensor can determine the water level height within the cleaning box body 20, which corresponds to the volume of windshield washer fluid in the cleaning box body 20. If the amount of water injected by the user exceeds the preset injection volume, meaning the water level height is higher than the water level height corresponding to the preset injection volume, the water injection step is considered complete. If the amount of water injected by the user is less than the preset injection volume, meaning the water level height is lower than the water level height corresponding to the preset injection volume, the vehicle controller controls the water injection / drainage assembly 30 to perform the water injection step, so that the water level height within the cleaning box body 20 is the same as the water level height corresponding to the preset injection volume. The ultrasonic cleaner or water level sensor sends the determined water level height within the cleaning box body 20 to the vehicle controller, which then judges and controls the next step of execution.

[0070] It should be noted that the cleaning box body 20 has a maximum water level mark. Users should not add water above this mark to avoid affecting the normal use of other electrical components inside the cleaning box body 20.

[0071] For example, when the user triggers the physical button, the vehicle controller pops up an interface on the mobile terminal display screen to set the water volume. The user can make the setting. If the user does not take any action within 10 seconds, the vehicle controller will automatically identify the item in the cleaning box body 20 and determine the preset water volume based on the item. If the item in the cleaning box body 20 is glasses, the vehicle controller generates the preset water volume of 300 ml. If the item in the cleaning box body 20 is a ring, the vehicle controller generates the preset water volume of 100 ml.

[0072] Step S200: In response to determining that the water injection step has been completed, the cleaning step is executed: drive the ultrasonic cleaner to run for a preset cleaning time;

[0073] Specifically, after the vehicle controller controls the water injection / drainage assembly 30 to complete the water injection step, it controls the ultrasonic cleaner to perform the cleaning step, that is, it controls the ultrasonic cleaner to start and run for the preset cleaning time. The preset cleaning time can be set by the user or generated by the vehicle controller based on the items inside the cleaning box body 20.

[0074] For example, when a user triggers the one-click cleaning button, the vehicle controller displays an interface on the mobile terminal screen to set the cleaning duration. The user can set the duration. If the user does not take any action within 10 seconds, the vehicle controller will automatically identify the item inside the cleaning box 20 and determine the preset cleaning duration based on the item. If the item inside the cleaning box 20 is glasses, the vehicle controller will generate a preset cleaning duration of 2 minutes. If the item inside the cleaning box 20 is a ring, the vehicle controller will generate a preset cleaning duration of 1 minute.

[0075] In step S300, in response to determining that the cleaning step has been completed, the water injection and drainage assembly 30 is controlled to perform a drainage step: draining the windshield washer fluid in the cleaning box body 20 into the vehicle windshield washer fluid storage compartment.

[0076] Specifically, after the vehicle controller controls the ultrasonic cleaner to complete the cleaning step, it controls the water injection and drainage assembly 30 to perform the drainage step, that is, to drain the water in the cleaning box body 20 and drain it into the vehicle windshield washer fluid storage tank. When the preset water injection volume is drained, that is, when the ultrasonic cleaner or the water level sensor determines that the water level in the cleaning box body 20 is zero, the drainage step is completed.

[0077] In this embodiment, the vehicle controller controls the water injection and drainage components 30 to sequentially perform water injection and drainage steps based on the acquired cleaning command, and controls the ultrasonic cleaner to operate to clean the items inside the cleaning box body 20. This enables the vehicle cleaning box to achieve automatic cleaning through the vehicle controller with one-button cleaning, which is convenient for users.

[0078] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0079] In response to the determination that the drainage step has been completed, the drying step is executed: the drying component is driven to run for a preset drying time.

[0080] Specifically, after the vehicle controller controls the water inlet / outlet assembly 30 to complete the drainage step, it controls the drying component to perform the drying step, that is, to dry the residual moisture inside the cleaning box body 20. This not only dries the items inside the cleaning box body 20 for later user access, but also dries the interior of the cleaning box body 20 to prevent residual moisture from breeding bacteria and ensure the hygiene of the vehicle cleaning box.

[0081] For example, when a user triggers the one-click cleaning button, the vehicle controller displays an interface on the mobile terminal screen to set the drying time. The user can set the time. If the user does not take any action within 10 seconds, the vehicle controller will automatically identify the item in the cleaning box body 20 and determine the preset drying time based on the item. If the item in the cleaning box body 20 is glasses, the vehicle controller will generate the preset drying time as 1 minute. If the item in the cleaning box body 20 is a ring, the vehicle controller will generate the preset drying time as 30 seconds.

[0082] In some embodiments, prior to the water injection step performed by the control injection / drainage assembly 30, the following is included:

[0083] In response to receiving the cleaning command, the camera determines the item to be cleaned inside the cleaning box body 20 to obtain the item information to be cleaned;

[0084] Based on the information of the items to be cleaned, the preset water volume, the preset cleaning time, and the preset drying time are determined.

[0085] Specifically, after receiving the cleaning command, if the user did not set the preset water volume, preset cleaning time, and preset drying time when sending the cleaning command (i.e., did not set them on the mobile terminal), the vehicle controller will use the photo taken by the camera inside the cleaning box 20 to identify the items to be cleaned inside the cleaning box 20, and obtain the corresponding information about the items to be cleaned. Based on the obtained information about the items to be cleaned, the preset water volume, preset cleaning time, and preset drying time are determined.

[0086] For example, the vehicle controller analyzes the currently captured photo taken by the camera based on a photo of the cleaning box body 20 without any items inside, and obtains the area of ​​the item to be cleaned in the currently captured photo. The vehicle controller analyzes this to obtain the specific type of the item to be cleaned. When the vehicle controller determines that the item to be cleaned is a ring, the information of the item to be cleaned is (ring, width 2 cm, height 2 mm). Thus, according to the preset matching list, see Table 1 "Cleaning Parameter Comparison Table of Item Information to be Cleaned", the preset water volume can be determined to be 50 ml, the preset cleaning time is 1 minute, and the preset drying time is 30 seconds.

[0087] Table 1. Comparison of Cleaning Parameters for Items to be Cleaned

[0088]

[0089] In some embodiments, step S100: based on the acquired cleaning command, controlling the water injection / drainage assembly 30 to perform a water injection step, including:

[0090] Based on the obtained cleaning command, the water quality information of the windshield washer fluid in the vehicle windshield washer fluid storage tank is obtained through the water quality monitoring device, and the water quality information includes good;

[0091] In response to determining that the water quality information is good, the control of the water injection / drainage assembly 30 is to perform a water injection step.

[0092] Specifically, after receiving the cleaning command, the vehicle controller first determines the water quality information (including good and turbid) of the windshield washer fluid in the onboard washer fluid storage tank before proceeding with subsequent cleaning (including water injection, cleaning, drainage, and drying steps). This prevents the windshield washer fluid in the storage tank from being contaminated, yet still being used to clean items, thereby avoiding contaminated water from affecting the user's health and increasing the safety of using the onboard washer box.

[0093] In this embodiment, the water quality monitoring device is located inside the vehicle's windshield washer fluid storage compartment and connected to the vehicle controller. The device feeds back the monitored water quality information to the vehicle controller, allowing the controller to determine whether subsequent water filling steps should be performed based on this information. When the water quality information is good (i.e., the windshield washer fluid in the storage compartment is good), the vehicle controller ensures the subsequent steps proceed normally. When the water quality information is cloudy (i.e., the windshield washer fluid in the storage compartment is cloudy), the vehicle controller stops the subsequent water filling steps and sends the water quality information to the vehicle's mobile terminal for display, prompting the user with the message, "Windshield washer fluid is cloudy, the washer fluid box cannot clean, please replace the windshield washer fluid!"
