[0025] The present application provides a vehicle leakage monitoring method, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of a vehicle provided by the present application. The vehicle 10 is provided with a plurality of leakage detection components 12 respectively placed in a plurality of areas (e.g., area 1, area 2, and area 3). The leakage detection component is connected to a processor (not marked in the figure) of the vehicle. The leakage detection component can be used to detect liquid in different areas of the vehicle. The liquid can come from the outside of the vehicle or from the pipes of the vehicle, which is not limited here. The execution subject of the vehicle leakage monitoring method of the present application is the processor. Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a vehicle leakage monitoring method provided by the present application, and the leakage monitoring method comprises the following steps:

[0026] Step S100: using a liquid leakage detection element to obtain liquid leakage information of multiple areas respectively.

[0027] The processor obtains leakage information of multiple areas of the vehicle through the leakage detection element. The processor may obtain the leakage information by the leakage detection element sending the leakage information to the processor after detecting the liquid; or the processor may obtain the status of the leakage detection element in real time, etc., which is not limited here. The leakage information may include water inflow or leakage status of the area. The leakage information may also include location information corresponding to the area, information on electrical devices set in the area, etc., which is not limited here.

[0028] Step S200: determining a liquid leakage area among a plurality of areas based on the liquid leakage information.

[0029] The processor determines the area where water has entered or leaked, that is, the leakage area, based on the leakage information.

[0030] Step S300: Obtain the safety control strategy corresponding to the leakage area.

[0031] The severity of vehicle safety issues caused by leakage in different areas of the vehicle varies. For example, leakage in the vehicle processor can cause serious safety issues such as vehicle loss of control. Leakage in the driver's seat will affect the user experience and pose a lower threat to vehicle driving safety. Therefore, this application sets corresponding safety control strategies for different leakage areas to cope with different application scenarios through different safety control strategies.

[0032] Step S400: Control the vehicle to perform safety operations based on the safety control strategy.

[0033] The processor controls the vehicle to perform safety operations based on the safety control strategy, wherein the safety operation may be controlling the vehicle to pull over, prompting the driver to perform maintenance, etc., which are not limited here.

[0034] The vehicle leakage monitoring method of the present application includes using a leakage detection part to obtain leakage information of multiple areas respectively; determining the leakage area in multiple areas based on the leakage information; obtaining a safety control strategy corresponding to the leakage area; and controlling the vehicle to perform safety operations based on the safety control strategy. That is, the leakage monitoring method of the present application obtains the leakage situation in the vehicle through the leakage detection parts arranged in different areas in the vehicle. When the leakage detection part detects that water or liquid droplets have entered or leaked, the safety control strategy corresponding to the leakage area is obtained, so as to control the vehicle to perform different safety operations according to the safety control strategy corresponding to the leakage area, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle. In addition, the leakage area can help maintenance personnel quickly troubleshoot the vehicle's leakage problem, reduce the time for vehicle leakage troubleshooting, and improve the maintainability of the vehicle.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of step S300 provided in the present application. Step S300 acquires a safety control strategy corresponding to the leakage area and includes the following steps:

[0036] Step S310: Determine the safety level of the leakage area.

[0037] The safety level classification of the leakage area is defined as follows:

[0038] High safety level: Once water enters this area, the vehicle may lose power, become unable to drive / steer / brake, and other safety issues.

[0039] Medium safety level: Water ingress to this area may cause some functional parts of the vehicle to fail, but it does not affect safety, such as the audio system, air conditioning system, etc.

[0040] Low safety level: Water ingress into this area generally does not cause safety and functional problems, but if not handled in time, it may cause the decorative parts in the car to mold, etc. If water continues to ingress into this area, the water ingress area will further expand, which may increase the degree of danger and evolve into medium / high degree of danger.

[0041] Alternatively, the leakage area may be classified into safety levels according to the degree of danger that may be caused by water ingress or leakage of electrical components in the leakage area, which is not limited here.

[0042] Step S320: Obtain a security control policy corresponding to the security level.

[0043] Obtain the security control strategy corresponding to the security level. Specifically, it may include:

[0044] Step S321: In response to the security level being a high security level, a first security control strategy corresponding to the high security level is obtained.

[0045] In response to the high safety level, the dangerous level of driving the vehicle is high at this time, and the processor controls the vehicle to execute the first safety control strategy. Among them, the first safety control strategy includes: reducing the speed of the vehicle, for example, the speed is less than 30kph. At the same time, outputting sound and light alarm information and pull-over prompt information. Calling SOS rescue, the hazard warning lights are turned on. And in response to the completion of parking, the processor controls the door to unlock so that the occupants can leave the vehicle smoothly in an emergency; and controls the vehicle to cut off power to protect the safety of electrical equipment in the vehicle.

[0046] Step S322: In response to the security level being a medium security level, a second security control strategy corresponding to the medium security level is obtained.

[0047] In response to the safety level being the medium safety level, the vehicle driving danger level is medium, and the processor controls the vehicle to execute the second safety control strategy. The second safety control strategy includes: outputting sound and light warning information and voice information of the repairable location information. For example, the large screen of the vehicle machine will remind the driver that water has entered the car and needs to be cleared in time to avoid further expansion of the water ingress range. At the same time, the navigation reminder can guide the driver to the nearest repair point.

[0048] Step S323: In response to the security level being a low security level, a third security control strategy corresponding to the low security level is acquired.

[0049] When the safety level is low, it means that the danger level of the current leakage area is low, and its impact on the driving safety of the vehicle is small. The processor controls the vehicle to execute the third safety control strategy. Among them, the third safety control strategy includes: outputting text warning information. For example, the text on the large screen of the vehicle reminds "Area 3 is flooded, please clear it in time". In other embodiments, the third safety control strategy may also include outputting voice warning information, outputting alarm buzzers, etc., which are not limited here.

[0050] This embodiment can improve the driving safety of the vehicle and the user experience by dividing the leakage area into safety levels and implementing different safety strategies according to different safety levels.

[0051] In a practical application, the leakage detection element is a liquid sensor. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of a vehicle leakage monitoring method provided by the present application. The vehicle is turned on, the program is started, and the vehicle's processor monitors the liquid sensor in real time to determine whether the liquid sensor detects liquid. If the liquid sensor detects liquid, the safety level of the leakage area is determined based on the leakage information of the liquid sensor. In response to the safety level being a high safety level, the processor sends a warning message to the vehicle computer and the owner at the same time, and reduces the speed of the vehicle to remind the vehicle to pull over; dials SOS for rescue; turns on the hazard warning lights; and controls the door to be unlocked and the vehicle to be powered off after parking. After the vehicle is repaired, the liquid sensor is reset.

[0052] In response to the safety level being a medium safety level, the processor sends a warning message to the vehicle computer and the vehicle owner at the same time, and provides repairable location information. After the vehicle is repaired, the liquid sensor is reset.

[0053] In response to the safety level being a low safety level, the processor sends a warning message to the vehicle computer and the vehicle owner at the same time, and prompts that water has entered the vehicle and needs to be cleared in time. After the water is eliminated, the liquid sensor is reset.

[0054] In one embodiment, the vehicle's cab is further provided with a camera device and a water retaining mechanism movably disposed on the center console of the cab, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 : is a flow chart of an embodiment of a vehicle leakage monitoring method provided by the present application, and the leakage monitoring method further includes the following steps:

[0055] Step S500: using a camera to obtain video information of the cab.

[0056] Step S600: Determine whether water splashing has occurred in the cab based on the video information.

[0057] Step S700: In response to a water splashing event in the cab, the water blocking mechanism is controlled to extend out of the center console to block external liquid from flowing into the center console.

[0058] This embodiment uses the camera device in the car and big data image recognition technology to monitor the water splashing in the cab in real time, such as water splashing when drinking water; water splashing when the bottle is not held firmly, etc. If the processor detects that water is splashing in the cab, it controls the water blocking mechanism to extend out of the center console to intercept the water flow path through the water blocking mechanism to prevent the splashing water from flowing to the dangerous area of ​​the center console, thereby avoiding the occurrence of dangerous situations, which can enhance the safety of the vehicle and reduce vehicle losses.

[0059] In a practical application, Figure 4 Based on the examples, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a flow chart of an embodiment of a vehicle leakage monitoring method provided in the present application. The processor also monitors the video information of the cab in real time through the camera device. If water splashing is detected in the cab, the processor controls the water retaining mechanism to extend out of the center console to prevent water from splashing onto the center console.

[0061] In one embodiment, the area is further provided with a liquid detection element (not marked in the figure), and the liquid detection element changes color directly or indirectly when encountering liquid. For example, a liquid detection element (such as a cloth strip or sticker that changes color when encountering water; a cloth strip or sticker that changes color when encountering water through ultraviolet light, etc.) is arranged in advance on the possible water inlet path of the vehicle 10. When the vehicle 10 leaks, the liquid detection element can be used to conveniently and quickly query the leakage path, which is conducive to tracing back the source of the vehicle 10 leakage and facilitating the rapid investigation and repair of the leakage problem.

The water retaining mechanism is provided with a water retaining member, and the water retaining member moves back and forth along a first direction relative to the center console. The water retaining member can be controlled by the processor to extend out of the center console to prevent external liquid from flowing into the center console. The water retaining member can be recovered when not needed, which can reduce space occupancy and reduce interference. The camera device is connected to the processor, and the processor controls the camera device to obtain video information of the cab, and determines whether a water splashing incident has occurred in the cab based on the video information. In response to a water splashing incident occurring in the cab, the processor controls the water retaining mechanism, i.e., the water retaining member, to extend out of the center console to prevent external liquid from flowing into the center console.
