[0002] During long-term use of a car, the surface of the windshield will inevitably be contaminated, affecting the driver's field of vision, thus bringing certain safety hazards to the driver's driving. Therefore, the vehicle is usually equipped with a glass water storage tank and a spray device. When the windshield needs to be cleaned, the spray device can draw glass water from the glass water storage tank and spray the glass water onto the windshield, and then the windshield is cleaned by the wiper.

[0003] After a period of use, the windshield washer fluid tank will be used up, and the owner needs to add windshield washer fluid manually. For owners with a small windshield washer fluid tank and frequent use, the frequency of adding windshield washer fluid will become higher, affecting the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0049] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for replenishing windshield water provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where automatic replenishment of windshield water is required. The method is applied to Figure 2 The windshield water replenishment system shown, such as Figure 2 As shown, the glass water replenishing system is communicatively connected with the interactive module of the vehicle, and the glass water replenishing system includes a liquid collecting device, a glass water storage tank, a detergent storage tank, a first pipe connecting the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank, a second pipe connecting the detergent storage tank and the glass water storage tank, a first valve arranged on the first pipe, a second valve arranged on the second pipe, and a controller of the glass water replenishing system. The method can be performed by the glass water replenishing device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0050] Step 110: After determining that the windshield washer fluid replenishment system is turned on, determine the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank.

[0051] The vehicle's interactive module is provided with a switch button for the windshield washer fluid replenishment system. The user can turn the windshield washer fluid replenishment system on and off by clicking the switch button of the windshield washer fluid replenishment system based on the interactive module.

[0052] Specifically, after the user clicks the switch button of the windshield washer fluid replenishment system based on the interactive module, the windshield washer fluid replenishment system can be turned on, and at this time, the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank can be monitored. Specifically, a liquid level monitoring device is provided in the windshield washer fluid storage tank, and therefore, the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank can be determined based on the liquid level monitoring device.

[0053] In actual application, when the user manually fills the windshield washer fluid, in order to prevent the vehicle from automatically adding detergent to the windshield washer fluid storage tank that has been manually filled with windshield washer fluid, the windshield washer fluid replenishment system can be turned off at this time, and the windshield washer fluid replenishment system can be reopened after confirming that the manual addition is completed; when the user washes the car, in order to prevent a large amount of liquid containing car detergent from flowing along the front windshield into the windshield washer fluid storage tank, the windshield washer fluid replenishment system can also be turned off, and the windshield washer fluid replenishment system can be reopened after confirming that the car wash is completed.

[0054] It should be noted that when the windshield washer fluid replenishing system is turned off, both the first valve and the second valve remain closed.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined to start the windshield washer fluid replenishment system, the monitoring of the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank is started.

[0056] Step 120: When it is determined that the liquid level is lower than a first limit value, control the first valve to open, and after the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, discharge the liquid into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe.

[0057] The liquid collecting device may be a liquid collecting tray or a liquid collecting tank, which is used to collect liquid sliding down the front windshield, and the liquid here includes rainwater and glass water sprayed on the front windshield. If the liquid level of the glass water storage tank is higher than the first limit value, it indicates that glass water does not need to be replenished, and if the liquid level is lower than the second limit value, it indicates that glass water needs to be replenished, and glass water can be replenished at this time until the liquid level is higher than the first limit value.

[0058] Specifically, when it is determined that the liquid level is lower than the first limit, it is determined that the glass water storage tank needs to be supplemented with glass water, so the glass water storage tank can be supplemented with liquid and a detergent with a dosage matching the amount of liquid increase. Specifically, when it is determined that the liquid level is lower than the first limit, it is necessary to supplement the glass water based on the liquid collected by the liquid collecting device. The liquid collecting device is connected to the glass water storage tank through a first pipe, and the first pipe is provided with a first valve. Therefore, the first valve can be opened to open the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank, and after the liquid is collected by the liquid collecting device, the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe.

[0059] It should be noted that the first valve can be a three-way valve. When the first valve is opened, the first pipeline is opened and the discharge channel of the liquid collecting device leading to the discharge port is closed. When the first valve is closed, the discharge channel of the liquid collecting device leading to the discharge port is opened and the first channel is closed. That is, when the first valve is closed, after the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid can be discharged through the discharge port, thereby avoiding the problem of vehicle dirtiness caused by long-term accumulation of liquid in the liquid collecting device.

[0060] It can be understood that in the process of discharging the liquid collected by the liquid collecting device into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe, the liquid level height can be monitored in real time. When it is determined that the liquid level height is higher than the second limit value, it is determined that there is a risk of the glass water overflowing the glass water storage tank. At this time, the first channel can be closed by closing the first valve to stop discharging liquid into the glass water storage tank.

[0061] Since after adding liquid to the glass water reservoir tank, it is also necessary to add a detergent in a dosage that matches the increased amount of liquid, the initial height of the glass water reservoir tank can be recorded before adding liquid to the glass water reservoir tank, and the ending height of the glass water reservoir tank can be recorded after adding liquid to the glass water reservoir tank, and the increased amount of liquid can be determined based on the height difference between the ending height and the initial height.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the liquid level of the glass water storage tank is lower than a first limit value, the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank is opened by controlling the opening of the first valve. After the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe, thereby replenishing the liquid in the glass water storage tank.

[0063] Step 130: When it is determined that the liquid level is stable and the amount of liquid increase is greater than a preset amount, control the second valve to open, and discharge a detergent in a dosage matching the amount of liquid increase into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe.

[0064] The stabilization of the liquid level can be understood as the liquid no longer increasing. The liquid no longer increasing here may be caused by the closing of the first valve, or may be caused by the liquid no longer sliding from the front windshield to the liquid collecting device.

[0065] Specifically, when the amount of liquid increase is not greater than the preset amount, the concentration of the glass water is not greatly affected, and no additional detergent is needed. Therefore, after determining that the liquid level is stable, the amount of liquid increase and the preset amount can be compared. If the amount of liquid increase is greater than the preset amount, the dosage of the detergent can be determined based on the amount of liquid increase and the dosage ratio of the liquid to the detergent. Furthermore, the glass water storage tank can be supplemented with detergent, which is stored in a detergent storage box. The detergent storage box is connected to the glass water storage tank through a second pipe, and the second pipe is provided with a second valve. Therefore, the second valve can be opened to open the second pipe between the detergent storage box and the glass water storage tank, and the detergent in the detergent storage box that matches the amount of liquid increase is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe. It should be noted that the specific value of the preset amount can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the liquid level is stable and the amount of liquid increase is greater than a preset amount, the second valve is controlled to open a second pipe between the detergent storage box and the glass water storage tank, and a detergent in a dose matching the amount of liquid increase is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe, thereby replenishing the detergent in the glass water storage tank. The liquid and detergent replenished in the glass water storage tank are fully mixed to obtain glass water of the required concentration, thereby replenishing the glass water in the glass water storage tank.

[0067] The glass water replenishment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: a glass water replenishment system including a liquid collecting device, a glass water storage tank, a detergent storage tank, a first pipe connecting the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank, a second pipe connecting the detergent storage tank and the glass water storage tank, a first valve arranged on the first pipe, a second valve arranged on the second pipe and a controller, the method including: after determining that the glass water replenishment system is turned on, determining the liquid level of the glass water storage tank; when determining that the liquid level is lower than a first limit value, controlling the opening of the first valve, and after the liquid is collected by the liquid collecting device, discharging the liquid into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe; when determining that the liquid level is stable and the amount of liquid increase is greater than a preset amount, controlling the opening of the second valve, and discharging a detergent with a dosage matching the amount of liquid increase into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe. In the above technical scheme, when it is determined that the glass water replenishment system is turned on, the liquid level of the glass water storage tank is monitored. When it is determined that the liquid level is lower than the lower limit of the height, it is determined that the glass water needs to be replenished. At this time, the first valve can be opened to open the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank. After the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe to replenish the liquid in the glass water storage tank. Of course, after it is determined that the liquid level is stable and the liquid in the glass water storage tank is no longer increased, if the liquid increase is greater than the preset amount, the second valve can be opened to open the second pipe between the detergent storage box and the glass water storage tank, and the detergent with a dosage matching the liquid increase is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe to replenish the detergent in the glass water storage tank. The liquid replenished in the glass water storage tank and the detergent are fully mixed to obtain glass water of the required concentration. Therefore, the glass water in the glass water storage tank can be replenished.

[0068] Figure 3 A flowchart of another method for replenishing windshield water provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention is also applicable to the following examples: Figure 2 The windshield water replenishment system shown in the figure is a concrete embodiment of the present invention based on the above embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include:

[0069] Step 310: After determining that the windshield washer fluid replenishment system is turned on, determine the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank.

[0070] In one embodiment, the windshield washer fluid replenishment system further includes a liquid level monitoring device disposed in the windshield washer fluid storage tank. Accordingly, step 310 may specifically include:

[0071] When the start-up information is received, the glass water replenishment system is started; and the liquid level of the glass water storage tank is determined based on the liquid level monitoring device.

[0072] The opening information may be sent to the windshield washer fluid replenishment system by the user through the interaction module of the vehicle system, or may be sent to the windshield washer fluid replenishment system by the user through a user terminal connected to the vehicle system in communication. The liquid level monitoring device may be a liquid level transmitter.

[0073] Specifically, when the windshield washer fluid replenishment system receives the start-up information, the entire system can be started, and at the same time, a liquid level monitoring device disposed in the windshield washer fluid storage tank is started, and the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank is determined based on the liquid level monitoring device.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined to start the windshield washer fluid replenishment system, the monitoring of the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank is started.

[0075] Step 320: Compare the liquid level with a first limit value.

[0076] Among them, when the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid is lower than the first limit value, it indicates that the windshield washer fluid needs to be replenished, and when the liquid level of the windshield washer fluid storage tank is higher than the second limit value, it indicates that the windshield washer fluid does not need to be replenished. The specific values ​​of the first limit value and the second limit value can be set according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0077] Specifically, the liquid level height determined in real time may be compared with the first limit value.

[0078] Step 330: When it is determined that the liquid level is lower than a first limit value, control the first valve to open, and after the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, discharge the liquid into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe.

[0079] Specifically, when it is determined that the liquid level is lower than the first limit, the first valve can be opened to open the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank, and after the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe.

[0080] In addition, the windshield washer fluid replenishment system further includes a filter disposed on the first pipe for filtering the liquid discharged into the windshield washer fluid storage tank through the first pipe, a liquid injection port disposed on the top of the windshield washer fluid storage tank for manually replenishing the windshield washer fluid, and a liquid outlet disposed on the bottom of the windshield washer fluid storage tank for discharging the liquid.

[0081] Step 340: When it is determined that the liquid level is higher than a second limit value, control the first valve to close.

[0082] The second limit value is greater than the first limit value.

[0083] Specifically, in the process of discharging liquid into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe, the liquid level height can be monitored in real time. When it is determined that the liquid level height is higher than the second limit value, it is determined that there is a risk of the glass water overflowing the glass water storage tank. At this time, the first channel can be closed by closing the first valve to stop discharging liquid into the glass water storage tank.

[0084] Of course, the glass water replenishment system remains on, and the liquid level monitoring device can continuously monitor the liquid level of the glass water storage tank. As the vehicle uses glass water, when the liquid level is lower than the first limit, the process returns to step 330 to replenish the glass water storage tank in time.

[0085] Figure 4 A control relationship diagram of the liquid level of the glass water storage tank and the first valve in the glass water replenishment method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, when it is determined that the liquid level is lower than the first limit, the first valve is opened, and the liquid is collected by the liquid collecting device to replenish the glass water storage tank until the liquid level is higher than the second limit; when it is determined that the liquid level is higher than the second limit, the first valve is closed, and after the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid is discharged through the drain port.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that the liquid level of the glass water storage tank is lower than a first limit value, the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank is opened by controlling the opening of the first valve. After the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe, thereby replenishing the liquid in the glass water storage tank. When it is determined that the liquid level of the glass water storage tank is higher than a second limit value, the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank is closed by controlling the closing of the first valve, and the discharge of liquid into the glass water storage tank is stopped, thereby preventing the glass water storage tank from overflowing. By opening or closing the first valve, automatic control of liquid replenishment in the glass water storage tank is achieved.

[0087] Step 350: When it is determined that the liquid level height has not changed within a preset time, the liquid level is determined to be stable; and the amount of liquid increase is determined according to a first liquid level height before the glass water storage tank is discharged with liquid and a second liquid level height after the liquid level is stabilized.

[0088] Among them, if the liquid level height does not change within the preset time, it can be considered that the liquid level is stable. The preset time can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0089] Specifically, after determining that the liquid level is stable, the height difference is determined based on the first liquid level height before the glass water storage tank is discharged and the second liquid level height after the liquid level is stable, and then the liquid increase amount is determined based on the height difference and the bottom area of ​​the glass water storage tank.

[0090] Step 360: When it is determined that the increased amount of liquid is greater than a preset amount, the second valve is controlled to open, and a detergent in a dosage matching the increased amount of liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe.

[0091] The cleaning agent may be a concentrated liquid cleaning agent or a solid cleaning agent.

[0092] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the amount of liquid increase is greater than a preset amount, the method further includes:

[0093] According to the increased amount of liquid and the dosage ratio of liquid to detergent, a dosage of detergent matching the increased amount of liquid is determined.

[0094] Specifically, when it is determined that the liquid level is stable and the amount of liquid increase is greater than a preset amount, the amount of detergent that needs to match the increased amount of liquid is determined. Specifically, the amount of detergent that matches the increased amount of liquid can be determined based on the dosage ratio of liquid to detergent and the amount of liquid increase. Further, the second valve is controlled to open the second pipeline between the detergent storage tank and the glass water storage tank, and the detergent in the detergent storage tank that matches the increased amount of liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the second pipeline.

[0095] It should be noted that the dosage ratio of the liquid to the detergent is a direct ratio, and the specific proportionality coefficient can be determined according to the concentration of the detergent.

[0096] Of course, after the detergent with a dosage matching the liquid is discharged into the windshield water storage tank, the second valve can be controlled to be closed.

[0097] In addition, in order to avoid the situation where the user forgets to turn off the windshield washer fluid automatic replenishment system and adds windshield washer fluid on his own, causing the vehicle to automatically add detergent, the following confirmation function is designed: when it is detected that the liquid level in the windshield washer fluid storage tank rises rapidly in a short period of time, or the liquid increase rate is greater than the speed threshold, the interactive module confirms with the user whether to add detergent. If the user confirms to add, then add detergent in an amount that matches the liquid addition amount. If the user confirms not to add or is not sure whether to add, there is no need to add detergent.

[0098] Since the speed of increasing liquid in the glass water storage tank when glass water is manually added is much faster than the speed of increasing liquid in the glass water storage tank when liquid is replenished based on the first channel, the speed threshold can be set to any value that is greater than the speed of increasing liquid in the glass water storage tank when liquid is replenished based on the first channel and less than the speed of increasing liquid in the glass water storage tank when glass water is manually added, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present invention, after liquid is added to the glass water storage tank, a detergent in a matching amount with the liquid added to the glass water storage tank is added to the glass water storage tank by controlling the opening of the second valve. The liquid and detergent added to the glass water storage tank are fully mixed to obtain glass water of the required concentration, thereby realizing the replenishment of the glass water in the glass water storage tank.

[0100] The glass water replenishment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: a glass water replenishment system including a liquid collecting device, a glass water storage tank, a detergent storage tank, a first pipe connecting the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank, a second pipe connecting the detergent storage tank and the glass water storage tank, a first valve arranged on the first pipe, a second valve arranged on the second pipe and a controller. The method includes: after determining that the glass water replenishment system is turned on, determining the liquid level of the glass water storage tank; comparing the liquid level with a first limit value; and when determining that the liquid level is lower than the first limit value, controlling the opening Open the first valve, and after the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, discharge the liquid into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe; when it is determined that the liquid level is higher than the second limit, control the first valve to close; when it is determined that the liquid level does not change within a preset time, determine that the liquid level is stable; determine the liquid increase amount according to the first liquid level before the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank and the second liquid level after the liquid level is stable; when it is determined that the liquid increase amount is greater than the preset amount, control the second valve to open, and discharge a detergent with a dose matching the liquid increase amount into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe. In the above technical scheme, when it is determined that the windshield water replenishment system is turned on, the liquid level height of the glass water storage tank is monitored, and the liquid level height is compared with the first limit value in real time. When it is determined that the liquid level height is lower than the first limit value, it is determined that the glass water replenishment is needed. At this time, the first valve can be controlled to open to open the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank. After the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe to replenish the liquid in the glass water storage tank. When it is determined that the liquid level height is higher than the second limit value, it is determined that there is no need to replenish the glass water. At this time, the first valve can be controlled to be closed. By opening or closing the first valve, automatic control of the liquid replenishment in the glass water storage tank is realized. Of course, after it is determined that the liquid level is stable, The amount of liquid increase is determined based on a first liquid level height before the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank and a second liquid level height after the liquid is discharged. If the amount of liquid increase is greater than a preset amount, a dosage of detergent that matches the amount of liquid increase is determined based on a dosage ratio of the liquid to the detergent and the amount of liquid increase, thereby determining a dosage of detergent that matches the amount of liquid increase based on the amount of liquid increase. The second valve can then be controlled to open a second pipe between the detergent storage box and the glass water storage tank, and a dosage of detergent that matches the amount of liquid increase is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe, thereby replenishing the detergent in the glass water storage tank. The liquid and detergent replenished in the glass water storage tank are fully mixed to obtain glass water of the required concentration. Therefore, the replenishment of the glass water in the glass water storage tank can be achieved.

In the above technical scheme, when it is determined that the glass water replenishment system is turned on, the liquid level height of the glass water storage tank is monitored. When it is determined that the liquid level height is lower than the first limit value, it is determined that the glass water needs to be replenished. At this time, the first valve can be opened to open the first pipe between the liquid collecting device and the glass water storage tank, and after the liquid collecting device collects the liquid, the liquid is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the first pipe, so as to replenish the liquid in the glass water storage tank. Of course, when it is determined that the liquid level is stable and the liquid increase is greater than the preset amount, the liquid collecting device can open the second valve to open the second pipe between the detergent storage tank and the glass water storage tank, and the detergent with a dose matching the liquid increase is discharged into the glass water storage tank through the second pipe, so as to replenish the detergent in the glass water storage tank. The liquid replenished in the glass water storage tank and the detergent are fully mixed to obtain glass water of the required concentration. Therefore, the glass water in the glass water storage tank can be replenished.
