[0015] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0016] Please refer to the following Figure 1 -Attached Figure 2 A petrochemical equipment safety detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0017] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a vehicle control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle control system 10 includes: a CAN transceiver module 101 connected to a single-chip microcomputer 102 and connected to a CAN bus 103 for transmitting and receiving data between the CAN bus 103 and the single-chip microcomputer 102 .

[0019] Specifically, the CAN transceiver module 101 serves as a bridge between the vehicle controller area network (CAN bus 103) and the single-chip microcomputer 102, and is responsible for receiving and sending data. The CAN bus 103 is a widely used communication network inside the vehicle, which is used for data exchange between different control units. The CAN transceiver module 101 can achieve high-speed and reliable data transmission and support the collaborative work between various vehicle systems.

[0020] The wheel speed sensor interface module 104 is connected to the single chip microcomputer 102 and to the wheel speed sensor 105 , and is used to transmit the wheel speed data detected by the wheel speed sensor 105 to the single chip microcomputer 102 .

[0021] Specifically, the wheel speed sensor 105 monitors the rotation speed of the wheel and transmits the signal to the single chip computer 102 through the interface module 104, which can provide basic data for the vehicle dynamic control system (such as ABS, ESP, etc.) to help maintain the stability and safety of the vehicle.

[0022] As an example, the number of wheel speed sensors 105 is four.

[0023] The switch detection module 106 is connected to the single-chip microcomputer 102 and to the parking switch 107 , and is used to detect the switch state of the parking switch 107 and send the switch state to the single-chip microcomputer 102 .

[0024] Specifically, the state of the parking switch 107 (whether activated or not) is detected, and the state information is sent to the single chip microcomputer 102 to control the parking system of the vehicle to ensure the safety of the vehicle when it is parked.

[0025] The power management module 108 is connected between the single chip computer 102 and the battery 109 and is used for the distribution and management of power.

[0026] Specifically, it is responsible for the power distribution and management of the MCU 102 and other components of the vehicle control system, ensuring that each component operates at an appropriate voltage and current, improving energy efficiency, and protecting the system from voltage fluctuations and short circuits.

[0027] The acceleration sensor interface module 110 is connected to the single-chip microcomputer 102 and to the acceleration sensor 111 , and is used to transmit the acceleration data detected by the acceleration sensor 111 to the single-chip microcomputer 102 .

[0028] Specifically, the acceleration sensor 111 measures the acceleration of the vehicle in all directions and sends the data to the single chip computer 102 through the interface module 110, providing key data for vehicle dynamics analysis, collision warning and other systems.

[0029] The gyroscope 112 is connected to the single-chip microcomputer 102 and is used to detect changes in the vehicle's posture, speed and acceleration in all directions, and transmit the change data to the single-chip microcomputer 102 .

[0030] Specifically, the gyroscope 112 is directly connected to the single-chip microcomputer 102 to detect the vehicle's posture changes (such as tilt, roll) and the changes in speed and acceleration in various directions, which can enhance the accuracy of vehicle posture control and improve driving stability and safety.

[0031] The CDC current driving module 113 is connected to the single chip microcomputer 102 and connected to the shock absorber 114 , and is used to adjust the damping of the shock absorber 114 according to the first driving signal provided by the single chip microcomputer 102 .

[0032] Specifically, the CDC current driving module 113 adjusts the damping of the shock absorber 114 according to the first driving signal sent by the single chip microcomputer 102 to achieve active or semi-active suspension control, thereby improving the ride comfort and controllability of the vehicle under different road conditions.

[0033] The brushless motor driving module 115 is connected to the single chip microcomputer 102 and is used to control the brushless motor to work according to the second driving signal provided by the single chip microcomputer 102 .

[0034] Specifically, the brushless motor driving module 115 controls the operation of the brushless motor and receives the second driving signal from the single chip microcomputer 102 to drive the fan, water pump, air conditioning compressor and other components in the vehicle that require precise control.

[0035] The solenoid valve driving module 116 is connected to the single chip microcomputer 102 , and is used to control the solenoid valve to operate according to a third driving signal provided by the single chip microcomputer 102 .

[0036] Specifically, the solenoid valve driving module 116 controls the switch of the solenoid valve, receives the third driving signal of the single chip microcomputer 102, and realizes precise control of the fluid in various occasions such as the braking system, the shifting mechanism, and the cooling system.

[0037] The brushed motor driving module 117 is connected to the single chip microcomputer 102 , and is used to control the brushed motor to work according to the fourth driving signal provided by the single chip microcomputer 102 .

[0038] Specifically, the brushed motor driving module 117 controls the operation of the brushed motor and receives the fourth driving signal from the single chip microcomputer 102. It can drive some devices that do not require high cost and complexity, such as window lifters, wipers, etc.

[0039] The single chip microcomputer 102 is used to execute a control algorithm and output a corresponding first drive signal, a second drive signal, a third drive signal and a fourth drive signal according to the received information.

[0040] As an example, the single chip microcomputer can also be electrically connected to the ignition switch 118, the pedal position sensor 119 and the instrument switch 120, so as to obtain relevant signals and send relevant control signals in real time.

[0041] It should be noted that the single-chip microcomputer 102 is the "brain" of the entire vehicle control system. The single-chip microcomputer 102 receives data from various sensors and switches, executes complex control algorithms, and then outputs corresponding drive signals to various actuators. These algorithms may include various functions such as vehicle stability control, energy management, and driving assistance.

[0042] The vehicle control system of the embodiment of the present invention reduces the manufacturing cost of the whole vehicle and occupies less space in the whole vehicle by integrating the wire control brake system and the electronically controlled damping adjustment system into one system, thereby achieving simplified configuration and easy installation.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the gyroscope is a 6-axis gyroscope.

[0044] It should be noted that the six-axis gyroscope combines a three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis accelerometer, which can simultaneously measure the angular velocity and linear acceleration of an object in three axes, thereby providing more comprehensive and accurate motion state information.

[0045] The specific working process includes: the three-axis gyroscope in the six-axis gyroscope is responsible for measuring the angular velocity change of the object around the X, Y, and Z axes; and the three-axis accelerometer measures the linear acceleration of the object in these three axes. These data are collected and transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer 102 at the same time. After receiving the data from the gyroscope and the accelerometer, the single-chip microcomputer 102 first performs data verification and preprocessing (such as denoising, filtering, etc.) to improve the accuracy and reliability of the data. Then, the data of the two sensors are fused using a specific algorithm (such as Kalman filtering, complementary filtering, etc.) to eliminate errors and obtain more accurate attitude information. Through the fused data, the single-chip microcomputer 102 can calculate the real-time attitude of the vehicle. According to the calculated attitude information and other related parameters (such as wheel speed data, vehicle speed data, etc.), the single-chip microcomputer 102 can generate corresponding control signals and adjust the performance of the vehicle through actuators (such as shock absorbers, braking systems, etc.). As an example, the single-chip microcomputer 102 can adjust the damping value of the shock absorber according to the attitude information provided by the six-axis gyroscope to improve the ride comfort and handling stability of the vehicle.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the single chip computer 102 is specifically used to: parse the wheel speed data, the change data and the acceleration data, calculate the target damping of the shock absorber and generate the first driving signal.

[0047] As an example, after receiving the wheel speed data, the single-chip microcomputer 102 first performs data verification to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. Then, the wheel speed data is parsed to extract the real-time speed information of each wheel. After receiving the change data and acceleration data, the single-chip microcomputer 102 also performs data verification and parsing. The gyroscope data is used to calculate the angular velocity, angular acceleration and attitude angle (such as pitch angle, roll angle and yaw angle) of the vehicle, while the acceleration sensor data provides the linear acceleration information of the vehicle in all directions. After parsing the wheel speed data, gyroscope data and acceleration data, the single-chip microcomputer 102 uses these data for comprehensive analysis and processing. By running the control algorithm (such as PID control, fuzzy control, etc.) pre-installed in the single-chip microcomputer, the single-chip microcomputer 102 can calculate the optimal damping value of the shock absorber under the current driving conditions. According to the calculated target damping value, the single-chip microcomputer 102 will generate a corresponding first drive signal and send it to the shock absorber 114 through the CDC current drive module 113. The driving signal contains all the information required to adjust the damping of the shock absorber, such as the current size, duration, etc. After receiving the driving signal, the shock absorber 114 will adjust its damping characteristics according to the instructions of the signal, thereby changing the performance of the vehicle's suspension system to improve the vehicle's ride comfort, handling stability and road adaptability.
