[0075] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments 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 only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0076] With the development of intelligent logistics technology, market customers' requirements for intelligent equipment are also constantly increasing. At present, the energy of the power systems of road and rail transportation and traction equipment mostly uses fuel. The fuel tank cap uses a mechanical lock or oil cap protective cover to protect the fuel from being stolen. The cap is opened manually, which is inconvenient to operate and has a low degree of intelligence. In addition, fuel leakage or theft is difficult to detect in time, which brings considerable economic losses to logistics individuals and enterprises.

[0077] Based on the above considerations, the present application proposes a fuel tank cap device, a fuel tank, a vehicle and a control method thereof. The fuel tank cap is convenient to open and close and has an alarm function, thereby improving the safety of the fuel tank and reducing the risk of theft or loss.

[0078] An embodiment of the present application provides a fuel tank cover device.

[0079] See also Figures 1 to 6 The fuel tank cover device 200 includes a fuel tank cover 210, a driving device 220, a limit sensor 230, an alarm and a controller.

[0080] The fuel tank cap 210 is used to cover the fuel tank opening 111. The fuel tank cap 210 is designed to be tightly covered at the opening of the fuel tank 100 to prevent fuel leakage and illegal access. The fuel tank cap 210 can be made of strong and durable materials, such as stainless steel or high-strength plastic, to ensure reliability and safety in long-term use.

[0081] The driving device 220 is coupled to the fuel tank cover 210 for driving the fuel tank cover 210 to move to open or close the fuel tank opening 111. The driving device is coupled to the fuel tank cover 210 for driving the fuel tank cover 210 to move to open or close the fuel tank opening 111. The driving device 220 is coupled to the fuel tank cover 210 for driving the fuel tank cover 210 to move automatically to open or close the fuel tank opening 111.

[0082] The limit sensor 230 is used to be triggered when the fuel tank cover 210 opens the fuel tank opening 111. The limit sensor 230 is installed at a suitable position of the fuel tank cover 210 to detect whether the fuel tank cover 210 is opened or closed. When the fuel tank cover 210 opens the fuel tank opening 111, the limit sensor 230 is triggered and sends a signal to the controller.

[0083] The alarm is used to send out an alarm signal. The alarm can be an audible and visual alarm, which is used to send out an alarm signal when the fuel tank cap 210 is illegally or accidentally opened. The alarm is electrically connected to the controller and can send out sound and / or flashing light signals under the command of the controller.

[0084] The controller is electrically connected to the drive device 220, the limit sensor 230 and the alarm. The controller is used to control the drive device 220 to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to open or close the fuel tank opening 111, and is also used to control the alarm to send an alarm signal when the limit sensor 230 is triggered.

[0085] The controller can be a microprocessor 801 or a microcontroller for receiving signals from the limit sensor 230 and controlling the drive device 220 and the alarm according to a preset program. The controller can also be connected to a remote monitoring system via a wireless or wired network to achieve remote monitoring and control. The controller can be equipped with an operator interface, such as a touch screen or buttons, allowing the operator to manually control the opening and closing of the tank cover 210, or adjust the settings of the alarm. The controller can be integrated with a wireless communication module, such as a 4G or 5G module, allowing remote monitoring and control of the status of the tank cover 210, so that the logistics company can monitor the status of the tanks 100 of its fleet in real time and respond quickly when an abnormality is detected.

[0086] In actual implementation, the controller controls the driving device 220 to realize the automatic opening and closing of the fuel tank cover 210. For example, when the vehicle needs to refuel, the driver can send an instruction to the controller through a button or a mobile application, and the controller will then drive the fuel tank cover 210 to open automatically. When the limit sensor 230 detects that the fuel tank cover 210 is opened, the controller will immediately activate the alarm to send an alarm signal. This alarm signal can be local or sent to a remote monitoring platform or mobile application through the network so that timely action can be taken.

[0087] According to the fuel tank cover device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device controls the driving device 220 to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to move, thereby realizing automatic opening and closing of the fuel tank cover 210, which is highly intelligent and convenient to operate. By setting a limit sensor 230 and an alarm, an alarm signal is sent out to remind the operator or manager when the fuel tank cover 210 is opened, thereby improving the safety of the fuel tank 100 and reducing the risk of theft or loss.

[0088] See also Figures 1 to 4 The fuel tank cover device 200 may further include a locking device 260. When the fuel tank cover 210 closes the fuel tank opening 111, the locking device 260 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0089] When the fuel tank cover 210 closes the fuel tank opening 111 , the locking device 260 cooperates with the fuel tank cover 210 to achieve locking. The locking device 260 can be a mechanical lock or an electronic lock, depending on the safety requirements and operational convenience.

[0090] In one example, if a mechanical lock is used, the locking device 260 may include a lock core and a lock tongue. The lock core is mounted on the fuel tank cover 210, and the lock tongue is fixed to the edge of the fuel tank opening 111. When the fuel tank cover 210 is closed, the lock tongue is aligned with the lock core, and the lock tongue is locked in the lock core by rotating the lock core, thereby achieving the locking of the fuel tank cover 210.

[0091] In another example, if an electronic lock is used, the locking device 260 may include an electronic lock module, which is electrically connected to the controller, and the electronic lock module may be a password lock, a fingerprint lock, or an RFID lock. When the fuel tank cap 210 is closed, the electronic lock module is automatically or manually activated to ensure that only authorized personnel can open the fuel tank cap 210.

[0092] There is an electrical connection between the locking device 260 and the controller, and the controller can remotely monitor and control the locking device 260. This means that even if the operator is not next to the vehicle, the locking and unlocking of the fuel tank cap 210 can be controlled through a remote terminal (such as a smartphone, tablet or computer), thereby improving the convenience and safety of operation. The controller can also periodically check the status of the locking device 260 and issue a warning when an abnormality is detected. This fault diagnosis function helps to detect and solve problems in a timely manner and reduce potential safety risks.

[0093] By providing a locking device 260 and electrically connecting the locking device 260 to the controller, additional safety protection is provided, which reduces the probability of the fuel tank cover 210 being illegally opened, while also ensuring the convenience of opening and closing the fuel tank cover 210.

[0094] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the driving device 220 may include a connecting member 221 and a first power member 222. The connecting member 221 may be connected to the fuel tank cover 210. The first power member 222 may be power-coupled with the connecting member 221 to drive the connecting member 221 to move, so as to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to open or close the fuel tank port 111.

[0095] The connecting member 221 in the driving device 220 is a mechanical component directly connected to the fuel tank cover 210, and can be a rod, a chain or any other suitable mechanical connection method, and is used to transmit the power of the power member to the fuel tank cover 210. The first power member 222 is the power source of the driving device 220, and can be an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The first power member 222 is coupled to the connecting member 221 by power, and is used to drive the connecting member 221 to move, thereby driving the fuel tank cover 210 to open or close the fuel tank port 111.

[0096] The locking device 260 may include a locking member 261 and a second power member 262. The second power member 262 can be dynamically coupled to the locking member 261 to drive the locking member 261 to move between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the fuel tank cover 210 closes the fuel tank port 111, the locking member 261 can cooperate with the fuel tank cover 210 to lock when in the locked position, and can be separated from the fuel tank cover 210 when in the unlocked position.

[0097] The locking member 261 in the locking device 260 is a component that directly cooperates with the fuel tank cover 210 to achieve locking. It can be a locking tongue, a locking hook or other mechanical structure, which is used to cooperate with the fuel tank cover 210 to lock when the fuel tank cover 210 is closed. The second power member 262 is the power source of the locking device 260, which can be an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder similar to the first power member 222. The second power member 262 is power-coupled with the locking member 261 to drive the locking member 261 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0098] The controller may be electrically connected to the first power member 222 and the second power member 262 to control the actions of the first power member 222 and the second power member 262 .

[0099] The controller is electrically connected to the first power member 222 and the second power member 262 for controlling their actions. The controller may be an integrated electronic control unit. The controller may receive operation instructions (such as button operations or remote instructions from an operator interface) and send corresponding control signals to the first power member 222 and the second power member 262 according to these instructions. The controller may be designed with multiple control modes, including an automatic mode and a manual mode. In the automatic mode, the controller may automatically control the opening and closing of the fuel tank cover 210 and the locking and unlocking of the locking device 260 according to a preset program. In the manual mode, the operator may directly control these actions through the operator interface.

[0100] In some examples, the controller may also integrate safety monitoring functions, such as issuing an alarm when the fuel tank cover 210 is abnormally opened or the locking device 260 fails to lock properly. The controller may also record all operation logs, including the opening and closing time of the fuel tank cover 210 and the state change of the locking device 260, for maintenance and auditing. The controller may also be designed with a fault self-diagnosis function, which can automatically stop operation and issue a fault alarm when an abnormality is detected in the first power member 222 or the second power member 262, and provide a fault code for quick maintenance.

[0101] In actual implementation, when the fuel tank cover 210 needs to be opened, the controller sends a signal to the first power member 222 to drive the connecting member 221 to move, drive the fuel tank cover 210 to open the fuel tank port 111, and at the same time, the controller also sends a signal to the second power member 262 to drive the locking member 261 to move to the unlocking position, separate from the fuel tank cover 210, and allow the movement of the fuel tank cover 210. When the fuel tank cover 210 is closed, the controller controls the second power member 262 again to drive the locking member 261 to move to the locking position and lock with the fuel tank cover 210. It is understandable that the controller needs to coordinate the actions of the first power member 222 and the second power member 262 to ensure that the locking member 261 can correctly move to the corresponding position when the fuel tank cover 210 is opened or closed. For example, when the fuel tank cover 210 is closed, the controller can first drive the first power member 222 to move the fuel tank cover 210 to the closed position, and then drive the second power member 262 to move the locking member 261 to the locking position and apply a pressing force.

[0102] According to the driving device 220 and the locking device 260 provided in the embodiment of the present application, manual opening and closing requires the aid of external professional tools to avoid arbitrary opening by humans. It can also be automatically opened and locked, and can also be precisely controlled by a controller, thereby fundamentally solving the intelligent switching problem of the fuel tank cap 210 and improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0103] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the fuel tank cover device 200 may further include a first fixed seat 271 and a second fixed seat 272, the connecting member 221 may be rotatably mounted on the first fixed seat 271, the first power member 222 drives the connecting member 221 to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to rotate; the locking member 261 may be rotatably mounted on the second fixed seat 272, the second power member 262 drives the locking member 261 to rotate between a locked position and an unlocked position, and when the locking member 261 rotates to the locked position, a clamping force toward the fuel tank port 111 may be applied to the fuel tank cover 210.

[0104] The first fixed seat 271 is a supporting structure of the connecting member 221, and may be a bracket or a base fixed near the tank port 111. The first fixed seat 271 is used to install the connecting member 221 and allow the connecting member 221 to rotate thereon. Exemplarily, the connecting member 221 may be installed on the first fixed seat 271 by means of a bearing, a bushing or other rotating mechanism to achieve flexible rotation, so that the connecting member 221 can drive the tank cover 210 to rotate under the drive of the first power member 222.

[0105] The second fixed seat 272 is a supporting structure of the locking member 261, and can also be a bracket or base fixed near the fuel tank port 111. The second fixed seat 272 is used to install the locking member 261 and allow the locking member 261 to rotate thereon. Exemplarily, the locking member 261 is installed on the second fixed seat 272 through a similar bearing or sleeve to achieve flexible rotation under the drive of the second power member 262. When the locking member 261 rotates to the locking position, the locking member 261 can apply a pressing force toward the fuel tank port 111 to the fuel tank cover 210 to ensure that the fuel tank cover 210 is tightly closed. This pressing force can be achieved by a spring, a cylinder or other mechanical means to ensure the sealing and safety of the fuel tank cover 210.

[0106] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the first fixing seat 271 and the second fixing seat 272 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the fuel tank cover 210, the connecting piece 221 can be connected to one end of the fuel tank cover 210, and the locking piece 261 can be locked with the other end of the fuel tank cover 210.

[0107] The first fixing seat 271 and the second fixing seat 272 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fuel tank cover 210. This layout can provide stable support and ensure the balance and symmetry of the fuel tank cover 210 during the opening and closing process. This design also helps to realize the driving and locking functions at both ends of the fuel tank cover 210, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of the operation.

[0108] The connecting member 221 is connected to one end of the fuel tank cover 210, which end is usually the open end of the fuel tank cover 210. The connecting member 221 is connected to the fuel tank cover 210 so that the fuel tank cover 210 can rotate around the rotation axis of the connecting member 221 under the drive of the first power member 222 to achieve an opening and closing action.

[0109] The locking member 261 is locked with the other end of the fuel tank cover 210, which is usually the closed end of the fuel tank cover 210. The locking member 261 is driven by the second power member 262 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position to lock and unlock the fuel tank cover 210. When the locking member 261 moves to the locked position, it cooperates with the closed end of the fuel tank cover 210 to form a mechanical lock to prevent the fuel tank cover 210 from being accidentally opened. When the locking member 261 moves to the unlocked position, the lock is released, allowing the fuel tank cover 210 to be opened.

[0110] According to the fuel tank cover device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by providing the first fixing seat 271 and the second fixing seat 272, it is possible to provide stable support and effective sealing performance while ensuring operational convenience and safety.

[0111] See also Figures 1 to 4According to some embodiments of the present application, the fuel tank cover device 200 further includes a third fixing seat 273 and a fourth fixing seat 274. The first power member 222 may include a first telescopic rod, one end of which may be rotatably connected to the third fixing seat 273, and the other end of which may be rotatably connected to the connecting member 221; the second power member 262 may include a second telescopic rod, one end of which may be rotatably connected to the fourth fixing seat 274, and the other end of which may be rotatably connected to the locking member 261.

[0112] The third fixing seat 273 is one of the fixing points of the first power member 222 (first telescopic rod), which is fixed at an appropriate position of the fuel tank cover device 200, such as near the opening end of the fuel tank cover 210. This fixing seat provides a stable rotation connection point for the first telescopic rod. The first telescopic rod is a part of the driving device 220, which can be an electric telescopic rod or other types of linear actuators. One end of the first telescopic rod is rotationally connected to the third fixing seat 273, and the other end is rotationally connected to the connecting member 221, and is used to drive the opening and closing action of the fuel tank cover 210.

[0113] The fourth fixing seat 274 is one of the fixing points of the second power member 262 (second telescopic rod), which is fixed at another appropriate position of the fuel tank cover device 200, such as near the closed end of the fuel tank cover 210. This fixing seat provides a stable rotation connection point for the second telescopic rod. The second telescopic rod is a part of the locking device 260, which can be an electric telescopic rod similar to the first telescopic rod or other types of linear actuators. One end of the second telescopic rod is rotationally connected to the fourth fixing seat 274, and the other end is rotationally connected to the locking member 261, which is used to drive the locking member 261 to move between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0114] The controller controls the actions of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod according to the operation instruction. When the fuel tank cover 210 needs to be opened or closed, the controller activates the first telescopic rod and drives the connecting member 221 to move, thereby driving the fuel tank cover 210 to rotate. When the fuel tank cover 210 needs to be locked or unlocked, the controller activates the second telescopic rod and drives the locking member 261 to move to the corresponding position.

[0115] For example, in actual implementation, when the fuel tank cover 210 needs to be opened, the controller controls the second telescopic rod to retract, thereby driving the locking member 261 to rotate and separate from the fuel tank cover 210 to unlock the fuel tank cover 210, and then controls the first telescopic rod to retract, thereby driving the connecting member 221 to rotate, so as to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to open. When the fuel tank cover 210 needs to be closed, the controller controls the first telescopic rod to extend, thereby driving the connecting member 221 to rotate, so as to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to close, and then controls the second telescopic rod to extend, thereby driving the locking member 261 to rotate to the locking position to cooperate with the fuel tank cover 210 to lock.

[0116] See also Figures 1 to 4According to some embodiments of the present application, when the locking member 261 moves to the unlocking position, the locking member 261 or the second power member 262 can trigger the limit sensor 230.

[0117] The limit sensor 230 can be set on the side of the fuel tank cover 210 close to the locking member 261. The position of the limit sensor 230 needs to be carefully designed to ensure that it can be triggered when the locking member 261 or the second power member 262 moves to a specific position. When the limit sensor 230 is triggered, the controller can confirm that the locking member 261 has moved to the unlocked position and perform subsequent operations accordingly, such as opening the fuel tank cover 210 or sending a signal that the operation is completed. The triggering of the limit sensor 230 is not only a confirmation of the completion of the operation, but also a part of safety monitoring. If the limit sensor 230 is not triggered at the expected position, the controller can identify the abnormal situation and take corresponding safety measures, such as sounding an alarm or stopping the operation.

[0118] In one example, when the locking member 261 moves to the unlocked position, the locking member 261 can be designed with a protrusion or a trigger mechanism, which triggers the limit sensor 230 when it contacts the limit sensor 230. This design ensures that the limit sensor 230 is triggered only when the locking member 261 is fully moved to the unlocked position.

[0119] In another example, the second power member 262 (such as a second telescopic rod) directly triggers the limit sensor 230. The end of the second power member 262 can be designed with a trigger head. When the locking member 261 moves to the unlocking position, the trigger head of the second power member 262 contacts the limit sensor 230, triggering the limit sensor 230.

[0120] See also Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, an oil-resistant gasket 211 may be provided on one side of the fuel tank cap 210 facing the fuel tank opening 111. When the fuel tank cap 210 is closed, a seal is provided to prevent fuel leakage. Such a gasket 211 is essential for maintaining the sealing of the fuel tank 100 and preventing environmental pollution.

[0121] The material of the oil-resistant sealing gasket 211 needs to have good oil resistance, chemical resistance and aging resistance to adapt to the characteristics of the fuel and the requirements of long-term use. It can include rubber, fluororubber, silicone rubber or special synthetic materials, etc. These materials can resist the erosion of fuel and maintain sealing performance.

[0122] The oil-resistant gasket 211 can be embedded in the edge of the fuel tank cover 210, or directly formed integrally with the fuel tank cover 210 as a part of the fuel tank cover 210. During installation, ensure that the gasket 211 is correctly positioned so that it can be in close contact with the edge of the fuel tank opening 111 when the fuel tank cover 210 is closed.

[0123] The embodiment of the present application also provides a fuel tank 100 .

[0124] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The fuel tank 100 includes a fuel tank body 110 and a fuel tank cover device 200 according to any of the above technical solutions. The fuel tank body 110 is provided with a fuel tank opening 111; and the fuel tank cover 210 is provided at the fuel tank opening 111.

[0125] The fuel tank body 110 is the main container for storing fuel and can be designed in various shapes, such as rectangular, cylindrical or other shapes suitable for transportation and storage. The material of the fuel tank body 110 should have good oil resistance, corrosion resistance and strength to ensure long-term safety and reliability. The fuel tank port 111 is the refueling port on the fuel tank body 110. The size and shape of the fuel tank port 111 should match the design of the fuel tank cap device 200 to ensure that the fuel tank cap 210 can be properly installed and seal the fuel tank port 111.

[0126] It can be understood that, because the fuel tank 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes the fuel tank cover device 200 as any of the above-mentioned technical solutions, it has the technical features and beneficial effects of the fuel tank cover device 200 as any of the above-mentioned technical solutions, which will not be repeated here.

[0127] In some embodiments, a filter may be provided in the fuel tank opening 111 to prevent external impurities and impurities in the fuel from entering the fuel tank 100 and blocking the fuel path, thereby improving the safety and reliability of use.

[0128] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the fuel tank body 110 may be provided with a fuel heating device 120 and / or an integrated oil inlet and return port and / or an electronic remote oil transmission device and / or a vent cap 140 and / or a mechanical oil level gauge 150.

[0129] The fuel heating device 120 is used to preheat the fuel in a low temperature environment to ensure that the engine can start smoothly. The device can be an electric heating element or a heat exchanger, which is installed inside the fuel tank 100 or in a pipe near the fuel tank 100. The heating device can be controlled by a controller to automatically adjust the heating power according to the ambient temperature and the fuel temperature to keep the fuel within a suitable temperature range.

[0130] The integrated inlet and return port design simplifies the piping layout of the fuel supply system, providing both inlet and return functions through an integrated interface. This design can reduce the number of pipe connections, reduce the risk of leakage, and facilitate maintenance and inspection.

[0131] The electronic remote oil transmission device is used to remotely monitor and control the operating status of the fuel system, including parameters such as fuel quantity, pressure and temperature. The device can include sensors, actuators and communication modules to transmit data to the vehicle's control system or other monitoring equipment through wireless or wired networks.

[0132] The vent cap 140 is used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the fuel tank 100 to prevent fuel leakage or deformation of the fuel tank 100 caused by pressure changes. The vent cap 140 can be designed with a respirator or a breathable membrane to allow air to circulate freely while preventing moisture and pollutants from entering the fuel tank 100.

[0133] The mechanical oil level gauge 150 is used to visually display the amount of fuel in the fuel tank 100, and generally includes a float and an indicator needle connected to the outside of the fuel tank 100. This design is simple and reliable, and can provide intuitive information about the amount of fuel in real time, making it easy for the driver to quickly check the fuel status.

[0134] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle.

[0135] The vehicle comprises a vehicle body and a fuel tank 100 as in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the fuel tank body 110 is installed on the vehicle body; wherein the controller and / or the limit sensor 230 and / or the alarm are installed on the fuel tank 100 or the vehicle body.

[0136] The vehicle body is the main structure that supports the fuel tank 100 and other components. It can be any type of vehicle, such as a truck, bus, car, van, etc., and can also be a railway van, etc. The vehicle body can provide an installation location for the fuel tank 100.

[0137] The controller can be installed on the fuel tank 100 or on the vehicle body, and the specific location depends on the design of the vehicle and the convenience of operation. If installed on the fuel tank 100, the controller should have sufficient protection measures to prevent fuel splashing and external impact. The controller installed on the fuel tank 100 can improve the intelligence of the fuel tank 100 itself and the versatility of the fuel tank 100, so that the controller of the fuel tank 100 can communicate with the controller of the vehicle to realize intelligent control of the fuel tank cover device 200. If installed on the vehicle body, the electrical connection between the controller and the drive device 220 and the locking device 260 should be safe and reliable.

[0138] According to the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device controls the driving device 220 to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to move, thereby realizing automatic opening and closing of the fuel tank cover 210, which is highly intelligent and convenient to operate. By setting a limit sensor 230 and an alarm, an alarm signal is sent out when the fuel tank cover 210 is opened to remind the operator or manager, thereby improving the safety of the fuel tank 100 and reducing the risk of theft or loss.

[0139] In combination with the accompanying drawings, the vehicle control method, vehicle control device, electronic device 800 and readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application as any of the above-mentioned technical solutions are described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0140] Among them, the vehicle control method can be applied to a terminal, and can be specifically executed by hardware or software in the terminal.

[0141] The terminal includes, but is not limited to, a portable communication device such as a mobile phone or tablet computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and / or a touch pad). It should also be understood that in some embodiments, the terminal may not be a portable communication device, but a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and / or a touch pad).

[0142] In the following various embodiments, a terminal including a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. However, it should be understood that the terminal may include one or more other physical operator interface devices such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and a joystick.

[0143] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be executed by an electronic device 800 or a functional module or functional entity in the electronic device 800 that can implement the vehicle control method. The electronic device 800 mentioned in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to mobile phones, vehicle-mounted computers, tablet computers, computers, cameras, and wearable devices. The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below using the electronic device 800 as an example of the execution subject.

[0144] See also Figure 7 The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: step 310, step 320, step 330 and step 340.

[0145] Step 310, when receiving the fuel tank cover 210 opening signal, controlling the driving device 220 to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to open, and triggering the limit sensor 230;

[0146] Step 320: upon receiving a trigger signal from the limit sensor 230, controlling the alarm to send out an alarm signal;

[0147] Step 330, upon receiving the fuel tank cover 210 closing signal, controlling the driving device 220 to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to close and separate from the limit sensor 230;

[0148] Step 340: When receiving the release signal from the limit sensor 230, the alarm is controlled to stop sounding.

[0149] In step 310, when refueling, the operator can issue a fuel tank cover 210 opening command through the remote monitoring platform or the mobile APP mobile client. The controller continuously monitors the operation command, and when receiving the fuel tank cover 210 opening signal from the operator interface or remote control, it starts to execute the control process. The controller sends a control signal to the drive device 220, activates the first power member 222 (such as the first telescopic rod), drives the connecting member 221 to move, and thus drives the fuel tank cover 210 to move from the closed position to the open position.

[0150] In step 320, when the fuel tank cover 210 moves to the open position, the limit sensor 230 is triggered. The limit sensor 230 sends a trigger signal to the controller to confirm that the fuel tank cover 210 is opened. After receiving the trigger signal from the limit sensor 230, the control system activates the alarm to send an alarm signal to remind the operator that the fuel tank cover 210 is opened to ensure safety.

[0151] In step 330, the signal for closing the fuel tank cover 210 can be manually operated or automatically executed according to a preset program. For example, after the fuel filling is completed, the operator can issue a command to close the fuel tank cover 210 through a remote monitoring platform or a mobile APP mobile client. After the controller receives the signal for closing the fuel tank cover 210, the controller sends a control signal to the drive device 220 to activate the first power member 222 and drive the connecting member 221 to move in the opposite direction, thereby driving the fuel tank cover 210 to move from the open position to the closed position.

[0152] In step 340, when the fuel tank cover 210 moves to the closed position and separates from the limit sensor 230, the limit sensor 230 sends a release signal to the control system to confirm that the fuel tank cover 210 is completely closed. After receiving the release signal from the limit sensor 230, the controller turns off the alarm and stops sending the alarm signal.

[0153] According to the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device controls the driving device 220 to drive the fuel tank cover 210 to move, thereby realizing automatic opening and closing of the fuel tank cover 210, which is highly intelligent and convenient to operate. By setting a limit sensor 230 and an alarm, an alarm signal is sent out when the fuel tank cover 210 is opened to remind the operator or manager, thereby improving the safety of the fuel tank 100 and reducing the risk of theft or loss.

[0154] According to some embodiments of the present application, the control method further includes: step 321 and step 341 .

[0155] Step 321: upon receiving a trigger signal from the limit sensor 230, sending information that the fuel tank port 111 is in an open state to the remote monitoring platform and / or the mobile terminal;

[0156] Step 341: upon receiving a release signal from the limit sensor 230, information indicating that the fuel tank port 111 is in a closed state is sent to the remote monitoring platform and / or the mobile terminal.

[0157] The controller may have the ability to communicate with a remote monitoring platform and / or a mobile terminal. Specifically, this may be achieved by integrating a wireless communication module, such as 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi or satellite communication.

[0158] In step 321, when the controller receives a trigger signal from the limit sensor 230, indicating that the fuel tank cap 210 has been opened, the controller can encapsulate the information that the fuel tank port 111 is in an open state into a data packet and send it to the remote monitoring platform and / or the operator's mobile device through the wireless communication module. This information may include key data such as timestamp, vehicle location, and fuel tank cap 210 status.

[0159] After receiving the information about the opening status of the fuel tank port 111, the remote monitoring platform can record, display an alarm, or take other preset response measures, such as notifying security personnel or automatically adjusting the monitoring focus. After the operator's mobile device receives the information about the opening status of the fuel tank port 111, it can display a notification or alarm through a dedicated application, allowing the operator to understand the vehicle status in a timely manner and take corresponding measures.

[0160] In step 341, when the controller receives a release signal from the limit sensor 230, indicating that the fuel tank cover 210 is closed, the controller can encapsulate the information that the fuel tank port 111 is in a closed state into a data packet and send it to the remote monitoring platform and / or the operator's mobile device through the wireless communication module.

[0161] After receiving the information about the closed status of the fuel tank opening 111, the remote monitoring platform and the mobile terminal update the vehicle status record and can confirm to the operator that the fuel tank cap 210 is safely closed.

[0162] According to the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, by sending the status information of the fuel tank port 111 to the remote monitoring platform and the mobile terminal, the safety management of the vehicle can be enhanced and real-time data can be provided for auditing and monitoring.

[0163] In some embodiments, when the controller does not receive the fuel tank cover 210 opening signal, it receives the trigger signal of the limit sensor 230, controls the alarm to send an alarm signal, and sends an alarm message to the public security agency and the local driver or platform terminal monitoring.

[0164] If the limit sensor 230 is accidentally triggered without the controller receiving the fuel tank cover 210 opening signal, it indicates that the fuel tank cover 210 may be illegally opened or an abnormal situation may occur. The controller can activate the alarm and send out an alarm signal to attract the attention of the on-site personnel and warn of possible safety threats.

[0165] At the same time, the controller can send alarm information to public security agencies through the integrated communication module. Specifically, it can send alarm information to police stations near the current geographical location. After the alarm information is accepted by a certain police station, it can send friendly reminders of the acceptance status to other police stations that have received the alarm information to avoid duplicate acceptance.

[0166] At the same time, the alarm information is also sent to the local driver or platform terminal monitoring system. This ensures that the vehicle manager or operator can understand the vehicle status in a timely manner and take corresponding measures. The alarm information sent should include but is not limited to the initial position of the alarm vehicle when the alarm is initiated, the time of the alarm, the real-time positioning of the alarm vehicle, and the real-time monitoring information of the incident point, so that the public security agency and the monitoring platform can respond quickly and accurately.

[0167] According to some embodiments of the present application, a liquid level monitoring system may be provided on the tank body 110 for monitoring the liquid level information in the tank 100 . The liquid level detection system may be electrically connected to the controller. The control method further includes: step 410 , step 420 and step 430 .

[0168] Step 410, obtaining current liquid level information of the fuel tank 100;

[0169] Step 420, calculating the refueling time according to the current liquid level information, the preset liquid level threshold and the fuel consumption rate of the vehicle;

[0170] Step 430: Obtain the running time, and when the running time is greater than or equal to the refilling time, send a refilling reminder message to the remote monitoring platform and / or the mobile terminal.

[0171] The tank body 110 is provided with a liquid level monitoring system for real-time monitoring of the liquid level information in the tank 100. For example, the liquid level monitoring system may be an electronic remote oil transmission device. The liquid level monitoring system is electrically connected to the controller to ensure that the liquid level information can be accurately transmitted to the control system.

[0172] In step 410 , the controller may obtain current liquid level information of the fuel tank 100 from the liquid level monitoring system periodically or as needed.

[0173] In step 420, the controller calculates the time required for refueling based on the current liquid level information, the preset liquid level threshold (minimum liquid level) and the fuel consumption rate of the vehicle. This calculation can be optimized based on historical data and prediction models.

[0174] In step 430, the controller obtains the running time of the vehicle, which may be the total running time since the last refueling, the running time since the last reminder, or the time since the last acquisition of the current liquid level information of the fuel tank 100. When the running time is greater than or equal to the calculated refueling time, the controller determines that refueling is required, and sends a refueling reminder message to the remote monitoring platform and / or the operator's mobile device, which may include the estimated refueling time, the nearest gas station location, the estimated fuel demand, etc.

[0175] When the remote monitoring platform receives the refueling reminder information, it can record it, display the reminder, or take other preset response measures, such as notifying maintenance personnel or automatically adjusting vehicle scheduling. When the operator's mobile device receives the refueling reminder information, it can display the notification or reminder through a dedicated application, allowing the operator to understand the vehicle status in a timely manner and arrange refueling.

[0176] By sending refueling reminders in advance, it can be ensured that the vehicle is refueled in time before the fuel is low, avoiding operation interruptions caused by insufficient fuel, and improving the operating efficiency and safety of the vehicle. At the same time, uploading fuel data to the remote monitoring platform can also help logistics companies to collect statistics on fuel consumption during equipment operation in the background, improve transportation organization efficiency and save economic costs.

[0177] According to some embodiments of the present application, a liquid level monitoring system is provided on the oil tank body 110 for monitoring the liquid level information in the oil tank 100. An alarm is provided on the oil tank 100. The liquid level detection system and the alarm are electrically connected to the controller. The control method also includes: step 510, step 520 and step 530.

[0178] Step 510, obtaining initial liquid level information of the fuel tank 100;

[0179] Step 520: Obtain the running time of the vehicle, and calculate the remaining liquid level information according to the initial liquid level information, the fuel consumption rate of the vehicle and the running time;

[0180] Step 530, obtaining the current liquid level information of the oil tank 100, and when the difference between the current liquid level information and the remaining liquid level information is greater than the target liquid level threshold, controlling the alarm to send an alarm signal, and sending the alarm information to the remote monitoring platform and / or the mobile terminal.

[0181] In step 510 , the controller may obtain initial liquid level information of the fuel tank 100 when the vehicle is started or at a specific time point as basic data for calculation.

[0182] In step 520, the control system can calculate the estimated remaining liquid level information according to the vehicle's running time, the initial liquid level information, and the vehicle's fuel consumption rate. The vehicle's running time can be the time since the initial liquid level information was obtained, the fuel consumption can be calculated according to the vehicle's running time and the vehicle's fuel consumption rate, and the estimated remaining liquid level information can be calculated according to the volume of the fuel tank 100 and the initial liquid level information.

[0183] In step 530, the controller can obtain the current liquid level information of the fuel tank 100 in real time for comparison with the estimated remaining liquid level information. The controller can compare the current liquid level information with the calculated remaining liquid level information to determine whether the difference between the two is greater than a preset target liquid level threshold.

[0184] If the difference between the current liquid level information and the remaining liquid level information is greater than the target liquid level threshold, indicating that there may be fuel leakage or other abnormal conditions such as someone stealing fuel, the controller can activate the alarm to send an alarm signal to attract the attention of on-site personnel. The controller can also send alarm information to the remote monitoring platform and / or mobile terminal, including key data such as liquid level difference, timestamp, and vehicle location.

[0185] After receiving the alarm information, the remote monitoring platform can record it, display the alarm, or take other preset response measures, such as notifying maintenance personnel or automatically adjusting vehicle scheduling. After the operator's mobile device receives the alarm information, it can display notifications or alarms through a dedicated application, allowing the operator to understand the vehicle status in a timely manner and take appropriate measures.

[0186] By monitoring the liquid level information in real time and comparing the predicted and actual values, fuel leaks or other abnormal conditions can be discovered in time, improving the safety and operating efficiency of the vehicle.

[0187] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a vehicle control device. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle control device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the vehicle control method executed by the vehicle control device as an example.

[0197] According to some embodiments of the present application, the control device may further include a fifth control module, a sixth control module and a seventh control module.

[0198] The fifth control module is used to obtain the current liquid level information of the oil tank 100;

[0199] The sixth control module is used to calculate the refueling time according to the current liquid level information, the preset liquid level threshold and the fuel consumption rate of the vehicle;
