Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention generally relates to a protective cleaning system for a component of a vehicle and a vehicle including the protective cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, some vehicles are equipped with cleaning systems. The cleaning system can deliver a cleaning medium such as water or air to the surface of a vehicle component through a nozzle to clean the surface of the vehicle component. For example, the cleaning system can be used to clean the surface of sensors (e.g., radar sensors such as laser radar, millimeter wave radar, and ultrasonic radar), cameras, windows, lights, and other vehicle components.

[0003] Such cleaning systems often require additional cleaning medium storage space. For vehicles with a large number of cameras and sensors (e.g., autonomous vehicles), such cleaning systems can take up more vehicle space to store cleaning medium. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and to provide an improved protection and cleaning system for vehicle components.

[0005] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention provides a protective cleaning system for a component of a vehicle.

[0028] Figure 1 A vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown; FIG. 2A to FIG. 5B A protective cleaning system 20 for a component 10 of a vehicle 1 is schematically shown according to different embodiments of the invention.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5B, the vehicle 1 includes a panel 30 having a window 32. The component 10 includes a surface area 12 adapted to be exposed through the window 32 (see Figure 4A ).

[0030] The component 10 may be a component on the vehicle 1 that needs to be partially exposed in order to perform a specific function. The component 10 may be an environmental sensing component such as various sensors (for example, radar sensors such as laser radar, millimeter wave radar, and ultrasonic radar) or cameras. In the case where the component 10 is an environmental sensing component, the surface area 12 of the component 10 may be exposed through the window 32 of the panel 30 to sense or perceive the surrounding environment, thereby obtaining information related to the surrounding environment. The surface area 12 of the component 10 often needs to be kept clean in order to perform a specific function normally. The protection and cleaning system 20 is suitable for protecting and cleaning the surface area 12 of the component 10.

[0031] The component 10 and the protective cleaning system 20 may be at least partially shielded and protected by a panel 30. In some embodiments, when the component 10 is installed outside the vehicle, the panel 30 may be various external panels that can provide an external surface for the vehicle 1, such as an outer panel and an outer decorative panel that constitute a vehicle body structure. In other embodiments, when the component 10 is installed inside the vehicle, the panel 30 may also be various internal panels that can provide an internal surface for the vehicle 1.

[0032] Reference FIG. 2A to FIG. 5B The protective cleaning system 20 includes an actuation module 202 and a protective film delivery module 204. The actuation module 202 is configured to actuate the panel 30 and / or the component 10 so that the panel 30 and the component 10 can move relative to each other to be in a first relative position (eg, Figure 2A ) and the second relative position (as shown Figure 3A The protective film conveying module 204 is configured to switch between the panel 30 and the component 10 in the first relative position and the panel 30 and the component 10 in the second relative position. The panel 30 and the component 10 are closer to each other when they are in the first relative position than when they are in the second relative position. The protective film conveying module 204 includes a supply unit 208 for supplying the protective film 206 and a recovery unit 210 for recovering the protective film 206. The protective film conveying module 204 is configured to enable the protective film 206 to move from the supply unit 208 to the recovery unit 210 along the conveying direction A. The protective film 206 is suitable for at least partially remaining at the panel 30, so that the protective film 206 can at least partially follow the movement of the panel 30. The protective film 206 is suitable for being attached to the surface area 12 of the component 10 when the panel 30 and the component 10 are in the first relative position, and being separated from the surface area 12 of the component 10 when the panel 30 and the component 10 are in the second relative position.

[0033] The protective cleaning system 20 enables the protective film 206 to be selectively attached to or separated from the surface area 12 of the component 10 by means of the actuating module 202 , and the protective film 206 to be moved along the conveying direction A relative to the surface area 12 of the component 10 by means of the protective film conveying module 204 when being separated from the surface area 12 of the component 10 . In this way, when the protective film 206 at the surface area 12 of the component 10 is contaminated and needs to be replaced / updated, the protective film 206 can be separated from the surface area 12 of the component 10 by the actuating module 202; then, the protective film 206 is moved relative to the surface area 12 of the component 10 along the conveying direction A by the protective film conveying module 204, so that the used / contaminated protective film 206 originally attached to the surface area 12 of the component 10 moves toward the recovery unit 210, and the unused / clean protective film 206 from the supply unit 208 moves toward the surface area 12 of the component 10; finally, when the protective film 206 moves to the position (in other words, the protective film 206 corresponding to the surface area 12 of the component 10 is a clean protective film), the protective film 206 is attached to the surface area 12 of the component 10 by the actuating module 202. In this way, the replacement / updating of the protective film 206 at the surface area 12 of the component 10 can be achieved, thereby keeping the surface area 12 of the component 10 clean. This protective cleaning system 20 does not need to store cleaning media / fluids, occupies little space, and is simple to operate. The cleaning process does not generate pollutants such as sewage.

[0034] exist FIG. 2A to FIG. 5B In the illustrated embodiment, the component 10 is shown as a radar sensor. It is contemplated that the component 10 may also be other vehicle components, such as other environmental sensing components.

[0035] Reference FIG. 2A to FIG. 3B , the supply unit 208 and the recovery unit 210 of the protective film delivery module 204 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the component 10 (more specifically, the surface area 12 of the component 10). The supply unit 208 may include a supply roller 212, on which the unused / cleaned protective film 206 can be wound. The recovery unit 210 may include a recovery roller 214, on which the used / contaminated protective film 206 can be wound. The supply roller 212 and the recovery roller 214 may be connected by the protective film 206. The protective film delivery module 204 may also include a motor 216, which may drive the recovery roller 214 to rotate to reel up the protective film 206, so that the protective film 206 moves along the delivery direction A, thereby driving the supply roller 212 to rotate to supply the protective film 206. The protective film delivery module 204 may be fixed / mounted on the vehicle body, for example. In the case where the component 10 is a radar sensor, the protective film delivery module 204 may be fixed / mounted on the radar sensor bracket.

[0036] The protective film 206 can be at least partially held at the panel 30 by a first retainer 218 and a second retainer 220 fixed to the panel 30 and located on opposite sides of the window 32, and the first retainer 218 and the second retainer 220 are configured to allow the supply and recovery of the protective film 206. In the illustrated embodiment, two first retainers 218 in the form of cantilevers are provided on one side of the window 32, and the two first retainers 218 together with the panel 30 define a passage through which the protective film 206 passes to allow the supply and recovery of the protective film 206, and the two first retainers 218 can restrict the movement of the protective film 206 in a direction away from the panel 30. Two second retainers 220 in the form of cantilevers are provided on the other side of the window 32, and the two second retainers 220 also together with the panel 30 define a passage through which the protective film 206 passes to allow the supply and recovery of the protective film 206, and the two second retainers 220 can restrict the movement of the protective film 206 in a direction away from the panel 30. It is contemplated that other suitable numbers and configurations of retaining members may also be provided to retain at least a portion of the protective film at the panel.

[0037] Continue to refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 3B , the actuation module 202 can be coupled to the component 10 to drive the component 10 to move relative to the panel 30. The actuation module 202 may include a motor 222 and a mechanical transmission mechanism (not shown). The mechanical transmission mechanism may, for example, include suitable transmission components such as gear racks. The motor 222 can drive the mechanical transmission mechanism, which in turn drives the component 10 to move. The actuation module 202 may also include a guide rail 224 to guide the movement of the component 10. The actuation module 202 may, for example, be fixed / mounted on the vehicle body. In the case where the component 10 is a radar sensor, the actuation module 202 may be fixed / mounted on a radar sensor bracket.

[0038] The protective cleaning system 20 may also include a cover module 226. Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the cover module 226 is configured to open the window 32 when the panel 30 and the component 10 are in a first relative position close to each other, so that the surface area 12 of the component 10 can be exposed through the window 32 of the panel 30 (for example, the component 10 is partially extended from the window 32 to expose the surface area 12), so that the component 10 performs a specific function (for example, an environmental sensing function). Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown, the cover module 226 is also configured to close the window 32 when the panel 30 and the component 10 are in a second relative position away from each other (at this time, the protective film 206 is separated from the surface area 12 of the component 10). This can prevent the external wind pressure from causing the protective film 206 to accidentally adhere to the surface area 12 of the component 10 and hinder the replacement / update of the protective film 206, and can also prevent foreign objects such as dust or fallen leaves from the outside from falling on the surface area 12 of the component 10.

[0039] The cover module 226 may include a cover plate 228 and a mechanical transmission mechanism 230. The cover plate 228 is mounted to the panel 30 and can slide along the panel 30. The cover plate 228 can be connected to the component 10 through the mechanical transmission mechanism 230. The mechanical transmission mechanism 230 is configured to: in response to the relative movement of the panel 30 and the component 10, drive the cover plate 228 to the open position (see FIG. 23 ) of opening the window 32. Figure 2A and Figure 2B ) and the closed position in which the window 32 is closed (see Figure 3A and Figure 3B )

[0040] like Figure 3A As shown, the mechanical transmission mechanism 230 can be a connecting rod mechanism. It is conceivable that the mechanical transmission mechanism can be other suitable transmission mechanisms. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover plate 228 can move up and down relative to the panel 30 to switch between the open position and the closed position. It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the cover plate can also move left and right or pivot relative to the panel to switch between the open position and the closed position.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3B , the protective cleaning system 20 may further include a control module 232. The control module 232 may be configured to: control the actuation module 202 to switch the panel 30 and the component 10 to the second relative position, control the protective film conveying module 204 to move the protective film 206 relative to the surface area 12 of the component 10 along the conveying direction A after the panel 30 and the component 10 are switched to the second relative position, and control the actuation module 202 to switch the panel 30 and the component 10 to the first relative position after the protective film 206 moves into place, so as to replace the protective film 206 at the surface area 12 of the component 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, the control module 232 is configured to determine whether the protective film 206 at the surface area 12 of the component 10 needs to be replaced, and the control module 232 is configured to control the actuation module 202 and the protective film delivery module 204 to replace the protective film 206 at the surface area 12 of the component 10 in response to the judgment result being yes. In the case where the component 10 is an environmental sensing component, the control module 232 can determine whether the protective film 206 at the surface area 12 of the component 10 needs to be replaced based on the information collected by the component 10. In other embodiments, the control module 232 can control the actuation module 202 and the protective film delivery module 204 to perform a protective film replacement / update operation at predetermined time intervals. In yet other embodiments, the control module 232 can control the actuation module 202 and the protective film delivery module 204 to perform a protective film replacement / update operation in response to a user's input instruction.

[0043] Reference FIG. 4A to FIG. 5B , FIG. 4A to FIG. 5B The protective cleaning system 20 and FIG. 2A to FIG. 3B The difference between the protective cleaning system in the FIG. 4A to FIG. 5B The protection cleaning system 20 in the embodiment does not have a cover module, and the actuation module 202 of the protection cleaning system 20 is coupled to the panel 30 to drive the panel 30 to move relative to the component 10 .

[0044] Reference FIG. 4A to FIG. 5B , the protective film 206 can be at least partially retained at the panel 30 by a first retainer 218 and a second retainer 220 fixed to the panel 30 and located on the opposite side of the window 32. The first retainer 218 and the second retainer 220 can be configured to be semi-annular. The protective film 206 can pass through the channel defined by the first retainer 218 and the second retainer 220 and the panel 30, thereby allowing the supply and recovery of the protective film 206. At the same time, the first retainer 218 and the second retainer 220 can limit the movement of the protective film 206 in a direction away from the panel 30.

[0045] The actuation module 202 may include a telescopic rod 234. The telescopic rod 234 may be, for example, an electric telescopic rod and includes a main body 236 and a movable rod 238 that can be extended and retracted relative to the main body 236. The end 240 of the movable rod 238 is adapted to be fixed to the panel 30. Figure 4AIn the illustrated embodiment, the actuation module 202 includes two telescopic rods 234, and the ends 240 of the movable rods 238 of the two telescopic rods 234 are respectively fixed to the first retaining member 218 and the second retaining member 220, thereby indirectly fixed to the panel 30. The main bodies 236 of the two telescopic rods 234 are arranged to remain stationary relative to the component 10. In this way, the panel 30 can be moved relative to the component 10 by extending and retracting the movable rods 238 relative to the main bodies 236. It is conceivable that the ends of the movable rods of the telescopic rods can also be directly fixed to the panel; and it is conceivable that other suitable structures are provided to achieve relative movement of the component and the panel.

[0046] Furthermore, it is contemplated that in some embodiments, FIG. 4A to FIG. 5B Addition of the protective cleaning system shown FIG. 2A to FIG. 3B The cover module of the protective cleaning system shown is used to provide more comprehensive protection for the components.
