[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] 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.

[0081] An embodiment of the present application provides a fuel tank cover device.

[0082] See also Figures 1 to 6 The fuel tank cover device 200 includes a cover body 210, a brake body 220, a driving device 230, a limit sensor 270, an alarm and a controller.

[0083] The cover body 210 is used to cover the outside of the oil tank opening 111 .

[0084] The main function of the cover 210 is to protect the fuel tank opening 111, prevent dust, moisture and other contaminants from entering the interior of the fuel tank 100, and prevent fuel from leaking. The cover 210 can be designed to be detachable for easy cleaning and maintenance. For example, the cover 210 can be made of a lightweight, weather-resistant material, such as ABS plastic or a lightweight alloy, to ensure long-term use without corrosion or damage. The inner side of the cover 210 can be designed with a sealing ring to provide additional protection against the intrusion of contaminants and moisture.

[0085] The gate body 220 is used to be movably disposed in the oil tank opening 111 to achieve the closing and opening of the oil tank opening 111 .

[0086] The gate body 220 is a key component for closing the fuel tank port 111, and can slide inside the fuel tank port 111 to open and close the fuel tank port 111. In one example, the gate body 220 can be in the form of a gate knife, and the gate body 220 is made of corrosion-resistant and high-strength materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure its stability under the chemical properties of the fuel and environmental conditions. The edge of the gate body 220 can be designed with a sealing structure to ensure a close connection with the fuel tank port 111 to prevent fuel leakage.

[0087] By arranging the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 to cooperate with each other, the sealing performance and safety performance of the oil tank opening 111 are improved.

[0088] The driving device 230 is power-coupled with the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 , and is used to drive the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 to move synchronously to open or close the oil tank port 111 .

[0089] The driving device 230 can be an electric or pneumatic system, which is composed of a motor and a gear mechanism. The motor receives instructions from the controller and converts rotational motion into linear motion through the gear mechanism. The driving device 230 drives the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 to move synchronously to open or close the tank port 111.

[0090] The limit sensor 270 is used to be triggered when the fuel tank opening 111 is opened by the fuel tank cover 100 .

[0091] The limit sensor 270 is used to detect the position of the gate body 220 to ensure that the fuel tank port 111 is properly closed or opened. The sensor can be a photoelectric sensor or a Hall effect sensor, which sends a signal when the gate body 220 moves to a specific position. These signals are sent to the controller to confirm the status of the fuel tank port 111.

[0092] The alarm is used to send out an alarm signal.

[0093] The alarm is used to send out an alarm signal when the fuel tank 100 cover is illegally opened or the fuel tank port 111 is not properly closed. The alarm can be an audible alarm or an LED flashing light, or a wireless transmitter that sends a signal to a remote monitoring system. The triggering of the alarm is controlled by the controller according to the signal of the limit sensor 270.

[0094] The controller is electrically connected to the drive device 230, the limit sensor 270 and the alarm. The controller is used to control the drive device 230 to drive the oil tank 100 cover to open or close the oil tank opening 111, and is also used to control the alarm to send an alarm signal when the limit sensor 270 is triggered.

[0095] The controller can receive signals from the limit sensor 270 and control the drive device 230 and the alarm based on these signals and the preset safety protocol. The controller can be a microprocessor that runs a specific software algorithm to manage the status of the fuel tank 100 cover and trigger the alarm when an abnormal condition is detected. 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 fuel tank 100 cover, 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 fuel tank 100 cover, so that logistics companies can monitor the status of the fuel tanks 100 of their fleet in real time and respond quickly when an abnormality is detected.

[0096] In actual implementation, the operator can input instructions through the buttons on the vehicle dashboard, or send instructions through a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, or a remote monitoring platform to request to open or close the fuel tank 100 cover. The controller receives the instructions and sends a signal to the drive device 230 to drive the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 to move. The limit sensor 270 detects the position of the gate body 220 and sends a signal to the controller when the fuel tank port 111 is opened or closed. After receiving the signal from the limit sensor 270, the controller confirms the state of the fuel tank 100 cover and activates the alarm to send an audible and visual alarm signal or send the alarm information to the remote monitoring platform, mobile terminal, etc. when necessary. For example, if the fuel tank port 111 is judged to be open, the alarm is activated to remind the operator.

[0097] According to the fuel tank cover device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device controls the driving device 230 to drive the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 to move, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the fuel tank port 111. It has a high degree of intelligence and is easy to operate. By setting a limit sensor 270 and an alarm, an alarm signal is sent out to remind the operator or manager when the fuel tank port 111 is opened, thereby improving the safety of the fuel tank 100 and reducing the risk of theft or loss.

[0098] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the driving device 230 may include a housing 231, a driving member 232 and a power assembly.

[0099] The shell 231 is used to be arranged on one side of the fuel tank port 111; the driving member 232 can be movably installed on the shell 231 along the direction approaching and moving away from the fuel tank port 111, the driving member 232 is fixedly connected to the gate body 220, and is transmission-connected to the cover body 210; the power component is arranged in the shell 231 and is power-coupled with the driving member 232, and is used to drive the driving member 232 to move along the direction approaching and moving away from the fuel tank port 111, so as to drive the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 to close or open the fuel tank port 111, and the power component is electrically connected to the controller.

[0100] The housing 231 is a fixed part of the driving device 230, and is used to be arranged on one side of the oil tank port 111. The housing 231 can be made of a strong and durable material, such as metal or high-strength plastic, to ensure stability and durability under various environmental conditions. The housing 231 can provide sufficient space to accommodate the driving member 232 and the power assembly, play a role in protecting the power assembly, and at the same time can take into account the characteristics of easy installation and maintenance.

[0101] The driving member 232 is the movable part of the driving device 230, and is movably mounted on the housing 231 in the direction of approaching and moving away from the fuel tank opening 111. The driving member 232 is fixedly connected to the gate body 220, and is connected to the cover body 210 through a transmission mechanism. This design allows the driving member 232 to drive the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 to move synchronously under the action of the power assembly, and can make the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 move differently, so as to realize the opening and closing of the fuel tank opening 111. Specifically, the driving member 232 is fixedly connected to the gate body 220. When the driving member 232 moves in a direction approaching the fuel tank port 111, the gate body 220 moves with the driving member 232 and extends into the fuel tank port 111, which is an action of closing the fuel tank port 111; when the driving member 232 moves in a direction away from the fuel tank port 111, the gate body 220 moves with the driving member 232 in a direction away from the fuel tank port 111, thereby gradually leaving the flow position of the fuel tank port 111, which is an action of opening the fuel tank port 111.

[0102] The power assembly is disposed in the housing 231 and is coupled to the driving member 232 by power coupling. The power assembly can be an electric motor, a pneumatic pump or a hydraulic pump, etc., and the specific selection depends on the required force and operating speed. The power assembly is used to drive the driving member 232 to move in the direction of approaching and moving away from the fuel tank opening 111, thereby driving the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 to close or open the fuel tank opening 111. The power assembly is electrically connected to the controller and receives instructions from the controller to perform the opening and closing action. This electrical connection can be a direct wired connection or can be transmitted through a wireless signal.

[0103] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the oil tank 100 cover can be rotatably mounted on the shell 231, and the driving device 230 can also include a connecting rod 240, one end of which can be rotatably connected to the driving member 232, and the other end can be rotatably connected to the side of the cover body 210 away from the oil tank port 111.

[0104] One end of the connecting rod 240 is rotatably connected to the driving member 232, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side of the cover body 210 away from the fuel tank port 111, so that the connecting rod 240 transmits power to the cover body 210 under the push of the driving member 232 to realize the rotation of the cover body 210. The connecting rod 240 can be made of high-strength materials, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure its durability and reliability in long-term use. The length and shape of the connecting rod 240 should be determined according to the specific size of the fuel tank port 111 and the design of the cover body 210 to ensure effective power transmission and the correct position of the cover body 210.

[0105] Taking the upward opening of the fuel tank port 111 as an example, the cover body 210 is covered on the upper end of the fuel tank port 111, and the upper end of the driving member 232 can be located on the upper side of the cover body 210. One end of the connecting rod 240 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the driving member 232, and the other end is rotatably connected to the cover body 210, so that the connecting rod 240 and the cover body 210 are set at an angle. When the driving member 232 drives the connecting rod 240 to move, the connecting rod 240 can apply an upward or downward component force to the cover body 210, thereby driving the cover body 210 to rotate to open or close the fuel tank port 111.

[0106] The rotational connection between the connecting rod 240 and the driving member 232 and the cover 210 can be achieved in various ways, such as using bearings, hinges or universal joints. These connection methods should ensure that the connecting rod 240 can rotate freely in multiple directions to adapt to different motion trajectories and angles. The overall structure is simple and convenient to arrange, and the operation stability is high.

[0107] See also Figures 1 to 4According to some embodiments of the present application, when the fuel tank port 111 is open, at least a portion of the gate body 220 may be located inside the shell 231; when the fuel tank port 111 is closed, at least a portion of the gate body 220 may penetrate through the side wall of the fuel tank port 111 into the fuel tank port 111 and close the fuel tank port 111.

[0108] When the fuel tank port 111 is open, at least part of the gate body 220 is retracted into the housing 231. In one example, the gate body 220 can be completely retracted into the housing 231, so that the gate body 220 does not hinder the opening of the fuel tank port 111, so that refueling or other maintenance operations can be carried out smoothly. This position of the gate body 220 also helps to reduce the risk of damage that may occur during operation. The retraction action of the gate body 220 is controlled by the drive device 230, usually driven by the drive member 232. When the controller receives an instruction to open the fuel tank port 111, the power assembly drives the drive member 232 to move, thereby driving the gate body 220 to be completely retracted into the housing 231.

[0109] When the fuel tank port 111 is closed, at least part of the gate body 220 penetrates the side wall of the fuel tank port 111 into the fuel tank port 111 and seals the fuel tank port 111. This design ensures the sealing of the fuel tank port 111 and prevents fuel leakage and the intrusion of external pollutants. The sealing part of the gate body 220 can be designed as an elastic sealing ring or gasket to ensure good contact and sealing with the side wall of the fuel tank port 111. When the gate body 220 penetrates the side wall of the fuel tank port 111, its sealing part is tightly matched with the surface inside the fuel tank port 111 to form a seal. This position and function of the gate body 220 not only improves the safety of the fuel tank 100, but also helps prevent fuel theft and environmental pollution. When the controller receives an instruction to close the fuel tank port 111, the power assembly drives the driving member 232 to move, thereby driving the gate body 220 to move to the position of closing the fuel tank port 111.

[0110] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the inner wall of the fuel tank port 111 may be provided with a mating groove 250. When the fuel tank port 111 is closed, at least part of the gate body 220 may extend into the mating groove 250. A sealing member 260 is provided at the notch of the mating groove 250, and the sealing member 260 may be sealed and matched with the gate body 220.

[0111] The inner wall of the fuel tank port 111 is provided with a matching groove 250 for receiving a part of the gate body 220. The shape and size of the matching groove 250 match the gate body 220, ensuring that the gate body 220 can be accurately positioned and sealed when extended, and the notch of the matching groove 250 can be relatively smooth to facilitate the insertion and removal of the gate body 220.

[0112] When the fuel tank port 111 is closed, at least a portion of the gate body 220 extends into the mating groove 250 to ensure close contact between the gate body 220 and the inner wall of the fuel tank port 111, thereby providing additional stability and sealing. The portion of the gate body 220 extending into the mating groove 250 can be designed to have a specific shape, such as round, square or other shapes suitable for the mating groove 250, to ensure the best sealing effect.

[0113] A seal 260 is provided at the notch of the matching groove 250, and the seal 260 is sealed with the portion of the gate body 220 extending into the matching groove 250. The seal 260 may be an O-ring, a lip seal 260 or other types of sealing gaskets, and the material selected should have good elasticity and oil resistance to ensure long-term effective sealing. In one example, the seal 260 may include two J-shaped seals 260, which are distributed on both sides of the matching groove 250, ensuring the sealing performance without affecting the gate body 220 entering and exiting the matching groove 250.

[0114] The function of the seal 260 is to form a sealing barrier to prevent fuel leakage and the intrusion of external pollutants when the gate body 220 extends into the matching groove 250. At the same time, the seal 260 also helps to buffer the impact between the gate body 220 and the inner wall of the fuel tank port 111 and reduce wear.

[0115] The fit between the gate body 220 and the seal 260 should be precise to ensure that the seal 260 can be effectively compressed and restored during the opening and closing process of the tank port 111, thereby maintaining the sealing effect. The portion of the gate body 220 that extends into the fitting groove 250 can be provided with a specific surface treatment, such as texture or groove, to increase the friction with the seal 260 and ensure that the seal 260 does not shift during operation.

[0116] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the power assembly may include a screw 235 and a drive motor 233. The screw 235 can be rotatably installed in the housing 231 and extend in a direction close to and away from the tank port 111. The drive member 232 can be threadedly matched with the screw 235. The output end of the drive motor 233 can be power-coupled with the screw 235 through a gear set 234, and the controller is electrically connected to the drive motor 233 to control the drive motor 233 to drive the screw 235 to rotate.

[0117] The screw rod 235 extends in a direction approaching and away from the oil tank port 111, and the screw rod 235 is threadedly matched with the driving member 232, so that when the screw rod 235 rotates, the driving member 232 can be driven to realize linear motion along the extension direction of the screw rod 235. The material of the screw rod 235 should be selected from high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or high-strength alloy, to ensure stability and durability in long-term operation. The thread of the screw rod 235 can be a standard trapezoidal thread or other types of threads to adapt to different load and motion requirements.

[0118] The drive motor 233 is the power source of the power assembly, and its output end is connected to the screw 235 by power coupling through the gear set 234. The drive motor 233 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, and the specific selection depends on the required torque, speed and control accuracy.

[0119] The output shaft of the driving motor 233 is designed with a gear, which meshes with the gear set 234, and drives the screw 235 to rotate through the deceleration and torque increase effect of the gear.

[0120] The gear set 234 is a transmission component connecting the drive motor 233 and the screw 235, and its function is to convert the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the screw 235. The gear set 234 may include a plurality of gears to achieve the desired reduction ratio and change of motion direction. The design of the gear set 234 should ensure high transmission efficiency, low noise, and be able to withstand large loads.

[0121] The controller is electrically connected to the drive motor 233 to control the start, stop and rotation direction of the drive motor 233. The drive motor 233 drives the screw 235 to rotate to drive the drive member 232 to move, thereby driving the gate body 220 and the cover body 210 to move synchronously. The overall structure is simple, the production cost is low, and the control logic is simple and the stability is high. While realizing the automatic opening and closing of the oil tank port 111, the reliability of the device is greatly improved.

[0122] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, one end of the screw rod 235 away from the oil tank port 111 passes through the outside of the housing 231 , and a manual wheel 236 is provided at the other end of the screw rod 235 away from the oil tank port 111 .

[0123] The end of the screw rod 235 away from the oil tank port 111 passes through the outside of the housing 231 and is provided with a manual wheel 236. The manual wheel 236 can be used as a backup or emergency operation mechanism to allow the user to manually operate the opening and closing of the oil tank 100 cover when the power or drive motor 233 is unavailable. The manual wheel 236 can be round or star-shaped, and its surface can be designed with an anti-slip texture to increase the friction during operation. The size and shape of the manual wheel 236 should match the diameter and strength of the screw rod 235 to ensure effective force transmission, and conform to ergonomics to ensure comfortable and labor-saving operation.

[0124] The manual wheel 236, the screw rod 235 and the manual wheel 236 provided in the embodiment of the present application provide a stable and reliable power transmission mechanism for the fuel tank cover device 200, ensuring the precise control and efficient operation of the fuel tank cover 100. This design not only improves the convenience of operation, but also enhances the safety and reliability of the system, ensures the stability of the fuel system during logistics transportation, and ensures the normal operation of the fuel tank cover 100 even when the automatic system fails.

[0125] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present application, the limit sensor 270 is disposed in the housing 231 , and the limit sensor 270 is triggered when the driving member 232 moves to one end away from the tank port 111 .

[0126] The limit sensor 270 is disposed in the housing 231, so that the sensor can be protected from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, moisture and other pollutants. The limit sensor 270 is triggered when the driving member 232 moves to the end away from the fuel tank port 111, which means that when the driving member 232 reaches its maximum stroke or a specific position, the limit sensor 270 will be triggered. This trigger mechanism can ensure that the fuel tank 100 cover is properly closed or opened to the predetermined position to prevent damage that may be caused by excessive movement.

[0127] Specifically, a support seat for supporting both ends of the screw 235 may be provided in the shell 231, and a rolling bearing may be provided in the support seat to reduce friction and improve the durability of the device. The limit sensor 270 may be provided near the support seat on the side away from the tank port 111.

[0128] The limit sensor 270 can be a photoelectric sensor, a Hall effect sensor or a mechanical limit switch, etc. When these sensors detect a specific position of the driving member 232, they will send an electrical signal, which is sent to the controller. The controller determines the position of the driving member 232 based on these signals and controls the operation and stop of the driving motor 233 accordingly.

[0129] The limit sensor 270 not only provides position feedback, but also increases the safety of the system. If the drive member 232 does not stop correctly for some reason, the limit sensor 270 can trigger a safety mechanism, such as stopping the motor or sounding an alarm to prevent potential damage or accidents.

[0130] The embodiment of the present application also provides a fuel tank 100 .

[0131] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The oil tank 100 includes an oil tank body 110 and an oil tank cover device 200 as any of the above-mentioned technical solutions, the oil tank body 110 is provided with an oil tank port 111; the cover body 210 is covered outside the oil tank port 111, the gate body 220 is movably arranged in the oil tank port 111, and the driving device 230 is arranged on the oil tank body 110 and is located on one side of the oil tank port 111.

[0132] 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 cover device 200 to ensure that the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 can be properly installed and seal the fuel tank port 111.

[0133] 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.

[0134] 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.

[0135] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 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.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] The integrated oil inlet and return port and the electronic remote oil transmission device 130 may be integrated into one piece.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle.

[0143] 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 270 and / or the alarm are installed on the fuel tank 100 or the vehicle body.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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, and can make the controller of the fuel tank 100 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 230 and the locking device should be safe and reliable.

[0146] According to the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device controls the driving device 230 to drive the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 to move, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the fuel tank port 111, which is highly intelligent and convenient to operate. By setting a limit sensor 270 and an alarm, an alarm signal is sent out to remind the operator or manager when the cover of the fuel tank 100 is opened, thereby improving the safety of the fuel tank 100 and reducing the risk of theft or loss.

[0147] In combination with the accompanying drawings, the vehicle control method, vehicle control device, electronic device and readable storage medium provided by 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.

[0148] Among them, the vehicle control method can be applied to a terminal, and can be specifically executed by hardware or software in the terminal.

[0149] 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).

[0150] 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.

[0151] The vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an electronic device or a functional module or functional entity in the electronic device that can implement the vehicle control method. The electronic devices mentioned in the embodiment of the present application include but are 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 as an example of the execution subject.

[0152] 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.

[0153] Step 310, upon receiving the fuel tank opening 111 opening signal, the driving device 230 is controlled to drive the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 to move synchronously to open the fuel tank opening 111, and trigger the limit sensor 270;

[0154] Step 320: upon receiving a trigger signal from the limit sensor 270, controlling the alarm to send out an alarm signal;

[0155] Step 330, upon receiving the fuel tank opening 111 closing signal, the control driving device 230 drives the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 to move synchronously to close the fuel tank opening 111, and separate from the limit sensor 270;

[0156] Step 340: When receiving the release signal from the limit sensor 270, the alarm is controlled to stop sounding.

[0157] In step 310, when refueling, the operator can issue an instruction to open the fuel tank port 111 through the remote monitoring platform or the mobile APP client. The controller continuously monitors the operation instructions, and when receiving the fuel tank port 111 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 230, activates the drive motor 233, drives the screw 235 to rotate, and then drives the drive member 232 to move in the direction close to the fuel tank port 111, thereby driving the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 to move and open the fuel tank port 111.

[0158] In step 320, when the driving member 232 moves to the open position, the limit sensor 270 is triggered. The limit sensor 270 sends a trigger signal to the controller to confirm that the tank port 111 is open. After receiving the trigger signal from the limit sensor 270, the control system activates the alarm to send an alarm signal to remind the operator that the tank port 111 is open to ensure safety.

[0159] In step 330, the signal for closing the fuel tank opening 111 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 100 through a remote monitoring platform or a mobile APP mobile client. After the controller receives the signal for closing the fuel tank opening 111, the controller sends a control signal to the drive device 230 to activate the drive motor 233 to rotate in the reverse direction, thereby driving the screw 235 to flip and then drive the drive member 232 to move in a direction away from the fuel tank opening 111, thereby driving the cover body 210 and the gate body 220 to move and close the fuel tank opening 111.

[0160] In step 340, when the driving member 232 moves to the closed position, it is separated from the limit sensor 270, and the limit sensor 270 sends a release signal to the control system to confirm that the tank port 111 is closed. After receiving the release signal from the limit sensor 270, the controller turns off the alarm and stops sending the alarm signal.

[0161] According to the vehicle control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the control device controls the driving device 230 to drive the fuel tank 100 cover to move, thereby realizing automatic opening and closing of the fuel tank 100 cover, which is highly intelligent and convenient to operate. By setting a limit sensor 270 and an alarm, an alarm signal is sent out when the fuel tank 100 cover 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.

[0162] According to some embodiments of the present application, the control method further includes: step 321 and step 341 .

[0163] Step 321: upon receiving a trigger signal from the limit sensor 270, sending information that the fuel tank port 111 is in an open state to the remote monitoring platform and / or the mobile terminal;

[0164] Step 341: upon receiving a release signal from the limit sensor 270, 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] In step 321, when the controller receives a trigger signal from the limit sensor 270, indicating that the fuel tank port 111 is open, 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 100 cover status.

[0167] 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.

[0168] In step 341, when the controller receives a release signal from the limit sensor 270, indicating that the cover of the fuel tank 100 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.

[0169] After receiving the information about the closing 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 100 cover is safely closed.

[0170] 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.

[0171] In some embodiments, when the controller does not receive the fuel tank 100 cover opening signal, it receives the trigger signal of the limit sensor 270, 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.

[0172] If the limit sensor 270 is accidentally triggered without the controller receiving the fuel tank 100 cover opening signal, it indicates that the fuel tank 100 cover may be illegally opened or an abnormal situation may occur. The controller can activate the alarm and send an alarm signal to attract the attention of the on-site personnel and warn of possible safety threats.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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 .

[0176] Step 410, obtaining current liquid level information of the fuel tank 100;

[0177] 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;

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0183] 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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] Step 510, obtaining initial liquid level information of the fuel tank 100;

[0187] 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;

[0188] 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle control device.

[0197] See also Figure 8 The control device of the vehicle includes a first control module 610, a second control module 620, a third control module 630 and a fourth control module 640.

[0198] The first control module 610 is used to control the driving device 230 to drive the fuel tank opening 111 to open and trigger the limit sensor 270 when receiving the fuel tank opening 111 opening signal;

[0199] The second control module 620 is used to control the alarm to send out an alarm signal when receiving a trigger signal from the limit sensor 270;

[0200] The third control module 630 is used to control the driving device 230 to drive the fuel tank port 111 to close and separate from the limit sensor 270 when receiving the fuel tank port 111 closing signal;

[0201] The fourth control module 640 is used to control the alarm to stop sounding the alarm when receiving a release signal from the limit sensor 270 .
