DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present invention should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in the present invention do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. "Include" or "comprise" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the intelligent vehicle sensor device and the use method thereof include a box body 1, a controller 2 is arranged inside the box body 1, an ultrasonic probe 3 is arranged at the end of the controller 2, the ultrasonic probe 3 can emit and receive ultrasonic waves, the ultrasonic probe 3 extends out of the surface of the box body 1, a lead 4 is arranged at the bottom of the controller 2, a lifting component is arranged on the bottom inner wall of the box body 1, a propulsion component is arranged on one side of the box body 1, a humidification component is arranged on the other side of the box body 1, a melting component is arranged on the upper part of the propulsion component, a cleaning component is arranged on the side of the melting component, the lifting component acts on the propulsion component and the humidification component, the propulsion component drives the melting component and the cleaning component to run synchronously, and the melting component and the cleaning component are used in conjunction with each other;

[0042] The ultrasonic probe 3 transmits and receives ultrasonic signals and transmits the signals to the controller 2. The system in the controller 2 processes and calculates the signals, accurately measures the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, and feeds the result data back to the cab through the lead 4. If the measured distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is zero, it means that there are debris blocking the surface of the sensor probe. At this time, the controller 2 controls the buzzer to work and starts the operation of each component. The lifting component can lift other components from the inside of the box body 1 to the outer surface of the box body 1, so as to facilitate the processing of the sensor probe. The pushing component can drive the melting component and the cleaning component to move out of the device and clean the outer surface of the sensor probe. The melting component will generate heat due to friction during operation, which can melt the thin ice on the surface of the sensor probe. At the same time, the cleaning component can clean the debris on the surface of the sensor probe. In addition, the humidifying component can spray glass water on the surface of the sensor probe under the drive of the pushing component to improve the melting and cleaning effects. After the blocking debris is cleaned, the ultrasonic probe 3 transmits and receives ultrasonic signals and is processed by the controller 2 again. After judging that there is no obstruction, the buzzer is powered off, and the components are controlled to return to the box body 1.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a motor 501 arranged inside the box body 1, a driving end of the motor 501 is fixedly connected to a round rod 502, an outer surface of the round rod 502 is fixedly connected to an eccentric wheel 503, a bottom plate 505 is slidably arranged inside the box body 1, a cleaning bracket 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the bottom plate 505, a humidifying bracket 507 is fixedly connected to the other side of the upper surface of the bottom plate 505, an annular groove 504 is formed on the outer surface of the eccentric wheel 503, a base 508 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom plate 505, and the base 508 is slidably engaged in the inner part of the annular groove 504;

[0044] The operation of motor 501 can drive the round rod 502 to rotate. During the rotation of the round rod 502, the eccentric wheel 503 will be driven to perform circular motion around the round rod 502. Since the base 508 on the lower surface of the bottom plate 505 is slidably engaged in the annular groove 504 on the outer surface of the eccentric wheel 503, the base 508 will be driven to slide in the annular groove 504 during the rotation of the eccentric wheel 503. When the long end of the eccentric wheel 503 rotates upward, the bottom plate 505 will be pushed to move upward, and the cleaning bracket 506 and the humidifying bracket 507 will be driven to slide out from the inside of the box body 1, thereby facilitating other components to process the sensor probe.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the propulsion assembly includes a motor 601 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 505, the driving end of the motor 601 is fixedly connected to a worm 602, the upper surface of the base plate 505 is movably connected to a support 603, the outer surface of the support 603 is fixedly sleeved with a worm gear 604, the outer surface of the worm gear 604 is meshed with the worm 602, the top of the support 603 is fixedly connected to a turntable 605, the upper surface of the turntable 605 is fixedly connected to a shift block 606, the propulsion assembly also includes a frame 608 slidably connected to the inside of the cleaning bracket 506, the bottom end of the frame 608 is fixedly connected to a T-shaped rod 607, the shift block 60 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the T-shaped rod 607, an active rod 609 is movably connected to one side of the frame 608, and a driven rod 610 is movably connected to the other side of the frame 608. A spur gear 1 611 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the active rod 609, a rack 612 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning bracket 506, and the spur gear 1 611 is meshed with the rack 612. The outer surfaces of the active rod 609 and the driven rod 610 are provided with a pulley group 10, and the pulley group 10 includes a driving wheel 1001, a driven wheel 1002 and a leather chain 1003, and the driving wheel 1001 and the driven wheel 1002 are meshed and connected through the leather chain 1003;

[0046] The operation of motor 2 601 drives the worm 602 to rotate, and the worm 602 drives the support 603 to rotate by driving the worm wheel 604 to rotate. During the rotation of the support 603, the turntable 605 is driven to rotate synchronously. The shift block 606 on the surface of the turntable 605 will slide in the T-shaped rod 607 as the turntable 605 rotates, and then the T-shaped rod 607 will drive the frame 608 to slide inside the cleaning bracket 506. During the sliding of the frame 608, the engagement of the spur gear 1 611 and the rack 612 will drive the active rod 609 to rotate. The active rod 609 drives the driven rod 610 to rotate through the transmission of the pulley group 10. During the rotation of the driven rod 610, the melting component and the cleaning component are driven to operate, and the outer surface of the ultrasonic probe 3 is cleaned. Each rotation of the turntable 605 will realize a reciprocating operation of the frame 608, thereby realizing reciprocating cleaning.

[0047] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the melting assembly includes a sleeve 701 movably sleeved on the outer surface of the driven rod 610, the end of the sleeve 701 is fixedly connected to the frame 608, an end rod 702 is movably inserted into the sleeve 701, and a spur gear 2 703 is fixedly connected to the end of the end rod 702, a gear ring 704 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the driven rod 610, and the spur gear 2 703 is meshed and connected with the gear ring 704, and one end of the end rod 702 extending into the sleeve 701 is fixedly connected to a friction roller 705, and a pulley group 10 is provided on the outer surface of the driven rod 610;

[0048] During the rotation of the driven rod 610, the gear ring 704 will be driven to rotate accordingly. Since the gear ring 704 is meshed with the spur gear 2 703, it will drive the spur gear 2 703 to rotate, and then drive the friction roller 705 to rotate through the end rod 702. The sleeve 701 is fixed, so the rotating friction roller 705 will generate friction with the inner wall of the sleeve 701 and the outer surface of the driven rod 610. According to the principles of frictional heat generation and heat transfer, the heat generated by the friction of the three will be transferred to the sleeve 701. At this time, the sleeve 701 slides on the outer surface of the ultrasonic probe 3, thereby melting thin ice, effectively avoiding the influence of thin ice generated outside the vehicle on the sensor when the temperature is low, and ensuring the normal operation of the sensor.

[0049] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning rod 801 rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame 608, a positioning ring 802 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the cleaning rod 801, the outer surface of the positioning ring 802 is fixedly connected to the frame 608, a limiting groove 803 is provided on the outer surface of the cleaning rod 801, a limiting rod 804 is slidingly limited inside the limiting groove 803, a cleaning plate 805 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod 804 away from the cleaning rod 801, an arc groove 807 is provided on the surface of the positioning ring 802, a positioning rod 806 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting rod 804, the positioning rod 806 is slidably connected inside the arc groove 807, and the arc grooves 807 provided on the positioning rings 802 at both ends of the cleaning rod 801 are inclined in opposite directions;

[0050] During the rotation of the transmission rod, the cleaning rod 801 will be driven to rotate through the pulley group 10. During the rotation of the cleaning rod 801, the cleaning plate 805 will be driven to rotate around the cleaning rod 801 through the limit rod 804, so that the cleaning plate 805 will clean the outer surface of the sensor probe during operation. At the same time, since the positioning ring 802 is fixed, the limiting rod 804 will drive the positioning rod 806 to slide in the arc groove 807 during the rotation. The arc grooves 807 on the surfaces of the positioning rings 802 at both ends are inclined in opposite directions, which will cause the positioning rod 806 to slide in the arc groove 807 and produce lateral movement, thereby driving the limiting rod 804 to slide in the limiting groove 803, thereby realizing the lateral reciprocating movement of the cleaning plate 805 during the rotation process, and improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning plate 805.

[0051] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the humidifying assembly includes a bevel gear 901 rotatably connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 505, a pull rod 902 is movably connected to the upper surface of the bevel gear 901, a bevel gear 903 is fixedly connected to the end of the worm 602, and the outer surface of the bevel gear 903 is meshed with the bevel gear 901, the humidifying assembly also includes a piston 904 arranged inside the humidifying bracket 507, a plug rod 905 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the piston 904, the end of the pull rod 902 is hinged to the outer surface of the plug rod 905, a water inlet pipe 906 is arranged on the outer surface of the humidifying bracket 507, a one-way valve 907 is arranged at the connection between the water inlet pipe 906 and the humidifying bracket 507, a water outlet pipe 908 is arranged on the upper part of the humidifying bracket 507, and a one-way nozzle 909 is arranged at the end of the water outlet pipe 908;

[0052] When the motor 2 601 drives the worm 602 to rotate, it will drive the bevel gear 2 903 to rotate synchronously, and then drive the bevel gear 1 901 to rotate. The pull rod 902 will pull and push the plug rod 905 as the bevel gear 1 901 rotates. Pushing the plug rod 905 will drive the piston 904 to slide in the humidification bracket 507. Under the action of pressure, the glass water will be pressed into the water outlet pipe 908 and sprayed from the one-way nozzle 909 on the surface of the ultrasonic probe 3, which can accelerate the melting of thin ice and improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning component. The pull rod 902 pulls the plug rod 905 downward to drive the piston 904 downward. At this time, under the action of pressure, the glass water in the water inlet pipe 906 will be sucked into the humidification bracket 507. The reciprocating operation can further improve the cleaning effect.
