Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent equipment control, and in particular to an intelligent control system and method applied to unmanned car washing equipment. Background Art
[0002] Intelligent control system refers to the automated control of intelligent equipment to achieve full-process automated operation of equipment without the need for human supervision, greatly saving labor costs. For example, the Chinese patent (CN117885698A) discloses "a fully automatic car washing machine that can intelligently identify vehicle models", which specifically discloses: building and optimizing vehicle models, planning cleaning trajectories based on the vehicle models, dynamically adjusting the cleaning trajectories, identifying key cleaning areas such as windows, wheels, and roofs, using Bezier curves to describe smooth paths for key cleaning areas, and planning cleaning trajectories for brushes and nozzles.
[0003] However, in actual operation, unmanned car wash equipment can never reach the upper limit of human operation. Although unmanned car wash equipment can identify the model and size of the vehicle through sensors and image recognition technology, this automatic recognition may not be able to fully adapt to all complex situations, such as complex stains on the vehicle surface or surface treatment of special materials. In addition, although the brushing process of unmanned car wash equipment uses a soft brush for 360-degree rotation without dead angles, this brushing method may not be as flexible as manual car washing to deal with various stains and details; secondly, technical limitations are also an important factor affecting the cleaning effect. Although unmanned car wash equipment can automatically adjust the spraying amount and mode during the spraying and rinsing process of car wash liquid, this adjustment may not be able to fully adapt to the actual situation of all vehicles. Manual car washing can perform more detailed operations according to specific circumstances, such as using different detergents or tools to deal with different stains. Summary of the invention
