[0019] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0020] The acquisition, storage, use, and processing of data in the technical solution disclosed in this disclosure are in compliance with the relevant provisions of relevant laws and regulations.

[0021] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, certain software, components, models and other existing solutions in the industry may be mentioned, and they should be considered as exemplary. Their purpose is only to illustrate the feasibility of implementing the technical solution of the present application, but it does not mean that the applicant has or will necessarily use the solution.

[0022] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle inflation device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle inflation device 100 includes: a controller 110 , an inflation module 120 and a switching module 130 .

[0023] Among them, there are a controller 110 , an inflation module 120 and a switching module 130 .

[0024] Among them, the air inlet of the switching module is connected to the air tank of the air compressor, and the switching module is connected to the air inlet of the charging module through the target air path. The target air path is in a closed state when the charging module is in a non-working state.

[0025] It should be noted that the motor of the target vehicle's air compressor is a brushless motor. In current technology, the motor of the air compressor is a brushed motor. The brushes will have a short life due to friction loss and need to be replaced regularly. Secondly, when the brushes and rotors of the brushed motor come into contact, sparks will be generated, causing electromagnetic interference and affecting surrounding electronic equipment. Thirdly, the brushed motor is noisy. Therefore, this solution can reduce noise interference and electromagnetic interference to a certain extent and increase the overall service life by using a brushless motor.

[0026] The control module is connected to the switching module for control.

[0027] It should be noted that the control module in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a processor of the vehicle, and the switching module may be a switching valve. It should be noted that the switching valve is used to control the direction of air flow and determine whether the compressed air flows out and the direction of the outflow.

[0028] The inflation module includes an inflation port disposed outside the target vehicle.

[0029] Therefore, by setting up an inflation module, the inflation module is connected to the switching module through the target air path, so that the external equipment or the tire of the vehicle can be inflated through the compressor of the vehicle air suspension system, which has high practicality.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the control module is further used to: obtain an external inflation request, generate a control instruction based on the external inflation request, and send the control instruction to the switching module.

[0031] It should be noted that the inflation request may be manually input or automatically generated after the external inflation device is connected to the inflation port, and no limitation is made here.

[0032] In a possible implementation, the inflation module is further used to: after obtaining a control instruction sent by the control module, switch the target gas path to a connected state.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a control instruction is generated based on an external inflation request, and Figure 2 To explain further, Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of generating a control instruction based on an external inflation request according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method includes:

[0034] S201, obtaining the working status of the vehicle air suspension.

[0035] In the disclosed embodiment, the vehicle air suspension may have various operating states, for example, a standard driving mode, a raising mode, a lowering mode, etc.

[0036] It should be noted that the priority of the vehicle air suspension operation in the embodiment of the present disclosure is higher than the priority of the vehicle inflation. Therefore, the inflation condition is met only when the vehicle air suspension is in a non-operating state.

[0037] S202, in response to the operating state of the vehicle air suspension being a non-operating state, obtaining inflation data in the inflation request, and generating a control instruction based on the inflation data.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the inflation data may include a variety of data, for example, the inflation type, required pressure, etc.

[0039] It should be noted that the inflation data may be manually input.

[0040] In another possible implementation, the inflation data may also be automatically generated based on the inflated object. The inflated object may be determined based on image recognition, and then the corresponding inflation data may be determined based on the inflated object.

[0041] S203, in response to the operating state of the vehicle air suspension being the operating state, stop generating control instructions and generate feedback information.

[0042] In the disclosed embodiment, the working state of the vehicle air suspension is first obtained, and in response to the working state of the vehicle air suspension being a non-working state, the inflation data in the inflation request is obtained, and a control instruction is generated based on the inflation data. In response to the working state of the vehicle air suspension being a working state, the generation of the control instruction is stopped, and feedback information is generated. Thus, through the working mechanism in the disclosed embodiment, the inflation operation can be performed under the normal working state of the vehicle air suspension, thereby improving the safety and practicality of the solution.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the inflation port is connected to a multifunctional inflation interface. It should be noted that the multifunctional inflation interface has inflation connectors for a variety of different devices, such as inflation connectors for inflating vehicles, basketballs, kayaks, etc.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an inflation module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The inflation module further includes: a pressure testing unit 310 .

[0045] The pressure test unit is used to monitor and measure the air pressure of the inflated object, and generate a feedback instruction after the air pressure reaches the set pressure.

[0046] Correspondingly, the inflation module receives the feedback instruction generated by the pressure test unit, stops the inflation action, and generates an inflation completion instruction to send to the controller. After receiving the inflation completion instruction sent by the inflation module, the controller controls the switching module to adjust the target gas path to a closed state. In this way, a closed loop of the inflation work of the inflated object can be achieved, avoiding damage to the inflated object due to over-inflation, and improving the practicality of this solution.
