[0052] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] The present invention provides an intelligent network-connected automobile system.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,In one embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent networked vehicle system includes: a perception module, a control module, an execution module and a communication interaction module;

[0055] The perception module is used to obtain environmental information outside the vehicle;

[0056] The control module receives data from the perception module and the communication interaction module, and performs analysis and processing;

[0057] The execution module is used to convert the instructions issued by the control module into actual vehicle actions;

[0058] The communication interaction module includes a vehicle communication interaction module, a mobile terminal interaction module and a traffic facility interaction module;

[0059] The vehicle communication interaction module is used for different vehicles to exchange information of their respective vehicles and environmental information acquired by their respective vehicles;

[0060] The mobile terminal interaction module is used to realize two-way communication between the vehicle and the mobile terminal carried by the pedestrian;

[0061] The traffic facility interaction module is used to realize the communication between the vehicle and the traffic facility.

[0062] The perception module on the autonomous vehicle can detect and obtain the environmental information during the vehicle's driving process in real time. The perception module transmits the acquired environmental information to the control module, and the control module controls the actions corresponding to the actions of the execution module.

[0063] The vehicle communication interaction module enables different vehicles to transmit and share information, such as speed, location, driving direction and braking status, as well as environmental information detected by the current vehicle (such as road construction, traffic accidents), so that the following vehicle can adjust its driving status in time according to the speed change of the front vehicle, maintain a safe distance, and improve driving efficiency;

[0064] Through the mobile terminal interaction module, the autonomous driving vehicle can transmit information to the pedestrian's mobile terminal. For example, if a pedestrian is detected crossing the road or walking on the motor vehicle lane, a reminder message can be sent to the mobile terminal, especially for pedestrians who are paying attention to their mobile phones. At the same time, pedestrians can also send information to the vehicle through the mobile terminal interaction module. For example, when a pedestrian cannot quickly leave the exciting lane or sidewalk due to an unexpected situation, the autonomous driving vehicle can stop and wait, and then drive the section more slowly and carefully, thereby improving driving safety.

[0065] The traffic facility interaction module obtains information about traffic facilities, such as traffic lights, smart road signs, electronic toll collection systems, etc., so that driving routes can be planned in advance and driving efficiency can be improved.

[0066] Among them, the vehicle communication interaction module is realized through technologies such as dedicated short-range communication or cellular vehicle networking;

[0067] And an APP can be set up and loaded on the autonomous driving vehicle and the pedestrian's mobile terminal, so that the autonomous driving vehicle and the pedestrian's mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone) can transmit and obtain it through the APP.

[0068] The execution module of the autonomous driving includes the power system, steering system, and braking system, etc. Each system is preferably connected to the control module signal through lines and wireless connections. When the line fails, the signal can be temporarily transmitted through wireless transmission to prevent the autonomous driving vehicle from losing control.

[0069] Among them, when the autonomous driving car is completely unmanned, the intelligent connected vehicle system also includes a remote control module and an encryption module. The remote control module is used to remotely control the vehicle. When the remote control module starts to remotely control the vehicle, the encryption module is used to issue a secret command.

[0070] Through the remote control module, the driving conditions of the vehicle can be remotely controlled. The remote control module can determine the three-dimensional position of the autonomous driving vehicle through the Beidou positioning system, etc.;

[0071] By setting up an encryption module, when the remote control module needs to control the current vehicle, the encryption module issues a secret command, and the remote module can only control it after it can give the corresponding key, thereby further improving the security of remote control of the autonomous driving vehicle;

[0072] In one embodiment, the encryption method of the encryption module includes: when an autonomous driving vehicle is running, a set of random passwords will be automatically generated randomly, and the remote control module will obtain the random passwords accordingly. When remote control is implemented, the remote operation rights can be realized only when the passwords correspond correctly.

[0073] The password can be numbers, letters, symbols, pictures, questions, etc., or a combination of them, and the length of the password can also be random. By setting the password to be more random, the security attribute is improved.

[0074] See also Figure 3 The perception module includes a camera module and a radar perception device, and the camera module and the radar perception device are signal-connected to the control module.

[0075] Camera modules are installed at different positions of the autonomous vehicle to obtain image information of the driving environment. The radar sensing device can detect the distance, speed and angle of the target object, and construct a three-dimensional point cloud map of the vehicle's surrounding environment by emitting laser beams and receiving reflected light. It can accurately perceive the shape and distance of objects around the vehicle, realize the construction of high-precision maps and the identification of obstacles, etc.

[0076] Among them, radar sensing equipment includes lidar, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, etc.

[0077] Cameras and other sensing components are equivalent to the "glasses" of autonomous vehicles. When splashed water, mud or foreign objects adhere to the camera during driving, it will seriously affect the perception ability of the autonomous vehicle, posing a major safety hazard to the driving of the autonomous vehicle.

[0078] See also Figure 4 The camera module includes a mounting box 1, a camera body 2, an electric push cylinder 3, a cleaning component 4 and a connecting rod 5. The camera body 2 is installed inside the mounting box 1, and the lens end of the camera body 2 extends to the outside of the mounting box 1 through a first assembly hole 101. The electric push cylinder 3 is installed inside the mounting box 1 and above the camera body 2 through a mounting plate 102. One end of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the output end of the electric push cylinder 3 through a connecting piece 11. The cleaning component 4 is installed at the other end of the connecting rod 5. The mounting box 1 is provided with a second assembly hole 103 at a position corresponding to the cleaning component 4.

[0079] When the lens end of the camera body 2 is splashed with dirty water or adhered with foreign matter, the electric push cylinder 3 pushes the cleaning component 4 through the second assembly hole 103 and out of the installation box 1 via the connecting rod 5, so that the liquid outlet end of the cleaning component 4 faces the lens end of the camera body 2, and cleans it by spraying water to prevent the camera from being blocked.

[0080] The same settings can also be made for radar sensing equipment.

[0081] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 A stopper 9 is installed at the end of the cleaning component 4 , and the stopper 9 is located in the second assembly hole 103 to block the second assembly hole 103 .

[0082] In practical applications, the front end of the mounting box 1, that is, the side facing the lens of the camera body 2, can be set as an opening, and a first assembly hole 101 and a second assembly hole 103 are correspondingly opened on the shell of the autonomous driving vehicle.

[0083] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the cleaning component 4 includes a nozzle 41, a water inlet pipe head 43 and a plurality of nozzles 42. The nozzle 41 is installed on the connecting rod 5. The plurality of nozzles 42 are obliquely installed at the bottom of the nozzle 41. The water inlet pipe head 43 is connected to the nozzle 41.

[0084] Please refer to Fig. 9 (a), by setting a plurality of nozzles 42, when the electric push cylinder 3 pushes the cleaning component 4 to move out of the second assembly hole 103, the plurality of nozzles 42 are all directed toward the lens of the camera body 2, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed out through the plurality of nozzles 42 and acts on a plurality of positions of the lens of the camera body 2, so that a plurality of positions of the lens of the camera body 2 can be impacted by the water flow, thereby improving the cleaning effect, and preventing the water flow from acting on only one position of the lens of the camera body 2. For other positions of the lens, the dirt can only be separated from the lens by the downstream liquid, resulting in a poor decontamination effect, especially for foreign matter with a certain degree of adhesion such as sludge.

[0085] The cleaning component 4 further includes a water supply pipeline, a water pump and a water storage container, wherein the water supply pipeline connects the water inlet pipe head 43 and the output end of the water pump, and the input end of the water pump is connected to the water storage container through a pipeline.

[0086] According to the usage, the water storage container can be a windshield washer fluid storage tank on the vehicle, and the input end of the water pump and the windshield washer fluid storage tank are connected by a pipeline, such as a camera set on the front side of the vehicle;

[0087] A water storage container may also be provided, such as a camera disposed near the rear of the vehicle, or a water storage container may be disposed at a location at the rear of the parking space, such as a trunk.

[0088] The installation box 1 is provided with ventilation holes and installation holes, through which the water delivery pipe can enter the interior of the installation box 1 and be connected to the water inlet pipe head 43 .

[0089] In this embodiment, the end cover 10 is mounted on the nozzle 41 .

[0090] In other embodiments, the cleaning assembly 4 may also include a lifting device, cleaning cotton and a water storage box, the lifting device is installed at the output end of the electric push cylinder 3, the cleaning cotton is installed at the output end of the lifting device, and the water storage box is installed inside the installation box 1 and is located below the cleaning cotton;

[0091] When the lens of the camera body 2 needs to be cleaned, the lifting device pushes the cleaning cotton down into the water storage box to contact with the cleaning liquid in the installation box 1 and absorb the cleaning liquid. Then the lifting device drives the cleaning cotton to move out of the water storage box. The electric push cylinder 3 pushes the lifting device and the cleaning cotton through the second assembly hole 103 to move out of the installation box 1. Then the lifting device pushes the cleaning cotton down to clean the lens of the camera body 2.

[0092] See also Figure 6 and Fig. 9 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the camera module further comprises a lifting block 61 and a stop block 62, wherein the lifting block 61 is mounted on the connecting rod 5, the stop block 62 is mounted inside the mounting box 1 and is located below the connecting rod 5, both sides of the lifting block 61 are provided with inclined surfaces, and the inclined surface portion of the lifting block 61 is aligned with the stop block 62;

[0093] The connecting member 11 includes a sliding frame 111 and a connecting block 112 . The sliding frame 111 is installed at the output end of the electric push cylinder 3 . The connecting block 112 is slidably installed on the sliding frame 111 . The connecting rod 5 is installed on the connecting block 112 .

[0094] Please refer to Fig. 9 (a), when the electric push cylinder 3 pushes the nozzle 42 of the cleaning component 4 to align with the lens of the camera body 2, that is, Fig. 9 In the state (a), one side slope of the lifting block 61 abuts against the stop block 62;

[0095] Please refer to Fig. 9(b) During the process of flushing the lens of the camera body 2, the electric push cylinder 3 continues to push the preset distance, and the inclined surface of the lifting block 61 is squeezed by the stop block 62 and moves upward, thereby driving the connecting rod 5 to move upward, and the connecting rod 5 drives the cleaning component 4 to move upward, so that the position where the water flow hits the lens is raised, and then the electric push cylinder 3 pulls back, and the lifting block 61 is separated from the stop block 62. Through the action of gravity, the cleaning component 4, the connecting rod 5, and the connecting block 112 descend. Repeating the above operation can make the nozzle 41 move back and forth up and down, so that the water flow can clean the dirt on the surface of the lens more evenly, thereby improving the cleaning effect, and there is no need to set up an additional driving device to drive the cleaning component 4 to move up and down.

[0096] The distance of the lateral movement between the lifting block 61 and the stop block 62 is smaller than the lifting height value, thereby ensuring that the position where the water sprayed from the nozzle 41 acts on the lens is lifted by a certain distance relative to the starting position.

[0097] The number of the nozzles 42 is no less than two, and in this embodiment, the number of the nozzles 42 is three.

[0098] In this embodiment, the sliding frame 111 includes a C-shaped frame and multiple vertical rods. The multiple vertical rods are installed in the C-shaped frame, and the connecting block 112 is sleeved on the vertical rods to form a sliding assembly; the C-shaped frame is installed at the output end of the electric push cylinder 3, and the connecting rod 5 is installed on the connecting block 112.

[0099] See also Figure 5 As an optional method of this embodiment, the camera module further includes a slide bar 8, and the slide bar 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 102, and the top of the sliding frame 111 is mounted on the slide bar 8 through an ear.

[0100] By setting the slide bar 8, the slide bar 8 supports the connecting member 11 in the vertical direction, reducing the load on the output end of the electric push cylinder 3. At the same time, the connecting member 11 moves along the slide bar 8, and the moving direction of the connecting member 11 is limited, making its movement more stable.

[0101] See also Figures 6 to 8 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the camera module further comprises a wiping assembly 7, the wiping assembly 7 comprises a mounting sleeve 71, a flange 72 and a wiping member 73, the mounting sleeve 71 is sleeved on the connecting rod 5, the flange 72 is arranged at one end of the mounting sleeve 71 facing the electric push cylinder 3, the wiping member 73 is mounted on the mounting sleeve 71, a spiral groove 711 is provided inside the mounting sleeve 71, a convex shaft 511 is mounted on the connecting rod 5, and the convex shaft 511 is located inside the spiral groove 711, and a stopper 9 is mounted on one end of the sliding rod 8 away from the mounting plate 102;

[0102] When the flange 72 abuts against the stopper 9 , the electric push cylinder 3 pushes the connecting rod 5 to drive the convex shaft 511 to move, and the convex shaft 511 pushes the groove wall of the spiral groove 711 to rotate the installation sleeve 71 .

[0103] After the lens of the camera body 2 is cleaned by the cleaning component 4, the electric push cylinder 3 continues to push the cleaning component 4 forward and drives the mounting sleeve 71 to move forward. When the flange 72 on the mounting sleeve 71 abuts against the stopper 9, the wiping piece 73 is aligned with the lens of the camera body 2. At this time, the electric push cylinder 3 continues to push the connecting rod 5 through the connecting member 11. Since the flange 72 abuts against the stopper 9, it cannot move along. During the process of the convex shaft 511 following the movement of the connecting rod 5, it pushes the groove wall of one side of the spiral groove 711, thereby driving the mounting sleeve 71 to rotate. The mounting sleeve 71 drives the wiping piece 73 to rotate along and wipe the water stains on the lens of the camera body 2 clean, so that the water stains on the lens can be quickly removed to avoid affecting the operation of the camera. The electric push cylinder 3 can realize the driving of the wiping component 7 to perform the wiping work, and there is no need to set up additional driving equipment, which simplifies the structure and facilitates the setting of the entire cleaning system in a small volume.

[0104] That is, the electric push cylinder 3 can sequentially push the cleaning component 4 out of the installation box 1 to align with the lens for cleaning, drive the nozzle 41 to move up and down to adjust the cleaning position so that it can clean the lens more evenly, and drive the wiper 73 to rotate to wipe the water stains on the lens.

[0105] The convex shaft 511 and the spiral groove 711 preferably drive the installation sleeve 71 to rotate one circle, so that the wiping member 73 rotates to the starting position, and the starting position of the wiping member 73 is arranged parallel to the top surface of the installation box 1.

[0106] In this example, the wiping member 73 includes a connecting handle and a wiping sponge, wherein the wiping sponge is mounted on one end of the connecting handle, and the other end of the connecting handle is mounted on the mounting sleeve 71. The length of the connecting handle is shorter than the radius of the second assembly hole 103, thereby ensuring that the wiping member 73 can be moved out of the mounting box 1 through the second assembly hole 103, and the length of the connecting handle is less than the distance between the mounting sleeve 71 and the top of the camera body 2.

[0107] In other embodiments, the wiper 73 may also only include cleaning sponge and be installed on the mounting sleeve 71 .

[0108] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7A shift lever 104 is provided inside the installation box 1 and on one side of the flange 72. By providing the shift lever 104, when the electric push cylinder 3 is pulled back, the friction between the convex shaft 511 and the groove wall of the spiral groove 711 prevents the convex shaft 511 from driving the installation sleeve 71 to move, thereby preventing the convex shaft 511 from being able to return to the starting position of the spiral groove 711 when the push cylinder 3 is pulled back to the original position. By providing the shift lever 104, the installation sleeve 71 can be limited, and at this time, the connecting rod 5 can drive the convex shaft 511 to move to the original position.

[0109] In the process of the electric push cylinder 3 pulling back, the inclined surface on the other side of the lifting block 61 and the stop block 62 act to lift up, so that it can pass through the stop block 62;

[0110] The stop block 62 is located below the flange 72 , that is, the flange 72 will not interact with the stop block 62 .

[0111] See also Figure 7 As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the wiping assembly 7 also includes a plurality of elastic members 74, and the plurality of elastic members 74 are installed around the interior of the mounting sleeve 71, and the side of the elastic member 74 away from the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 71 abuts against the connecting rod 5.

[0112] By arranging the elastic member 74 inside the installation sleeve 71 to squeeze the connecting rod 5 , the stability of the connection between the installation sleeve 71 and the connecting rod 5 is increased, so that the installation sleeve 71 can stably follow the movement of the connecting rod 5 .

[0113] In this embodiment, the elastic member 74 is a rubber block, and in other embodiments, it can also be a spring or a reed, etc. The number of the elastic members 74 is not less than two, and in this embodiment, it is four. The elastic member 74 is arranged at one end of the mounting sleeve 71 facing the mounting plate 102.

[0114] Please refer again Figure 7 As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the connecting rod 5 includes a first connecting shaft 51 and a second connecting shaft 52, the first connecting shaft 51 connects the output end of the electric push cylinder 3 and the second connecting shaft 52, the diameter of the first connecting shaft 51 is smaller than the diameter of the second connecting shaft 52, and the mounting sleeve 71 is sleeved on the second connecting shaft 52.

[0115] Please refer to Fig.10 (c) and Fig.10(d) When the flange 72 abuts against the block 9, the subsequent electric push cylinder 3 continues to push the connecting rod 5. At this time, the second connecting shaft 52 is separated from the elastic member 74, and the first connecting shaft 51 is aligned with the elastic member 74. Since the diameter of the first connecting shaft 51 is smaller than the diameter of the second connecting shaft 52, the elastic member 74 does not contact the second connecting shaft 52. Therefore, the subsequent connecting rod 5 will not interact with the elastic member 74 when moving, that is, the elastic member 74 will not be worn. At the same time, the elastic member 74 is prevented from squeezing the connecting rod 5 to generate friction and produce resistance to the movement of the connecting rod 5.

[0116] The working principle of the intelligent connected vehicle system provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0117] The perception module on the autonomous vehicle can detect and obtain the environmental information during the vehicle's driving process in real time. The perception module transmits the acquired environmental information to the control module, and the control module controls the actions corresponding to the actions of the execution module.

[0118] Among them, the vehicle communication interaction module enables different vehicles to transmit and share information, such as speed, position, driving direction and braking status, so that the following vehicle can adjust its driving status in time according to the speed change of the front vehicle, maintain a safe distance and improve driving efficiency;

[0119] Through the mobile terminal interaction module, the autonomous driving vehicle can transmit information to the pedestrian's mobile terminal. For example, if a pedestrian is detected crossing the road or walking on the motor vehicle lane, a reminder message can be sent to the mobile terminal, especially for pedestrians who are paying attention to their mobile phones. At the same time, pedestrians can also send information to the vehicle through the mobile terminal interaction module. For example, when a pedestrian cannot quickly leave the exciting lane or sidewalk due to an unexpected situation, the autonomous driving vehicle can stop and wait, and then drive the section more slowly and carefully, thereby improving driving safety.

[0120] The traffic facility interaction module obtains information about traffic facilities, such as traffic lights, smart road signs, electronic toll collection systems, etc., so that driving routes can be planned in advance and driving efficiency can be improved.

[0121] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
