Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automotive intelligent cockpit control, and particularly to a control method and system for a tea system in an intelligent cockpit. Background Art

[0002] The intelligent cabin aims to integrate a variety of IT and artificial intelligence technologies to create a new in-vehicle integrated digital platform, providing an intelligent experience for drivers and promoting driving safety. Through various intelligent detection and recognition controls, the intelligence level of the intelligent cabin is improved to enhance the user experience.

[0003] With the requirements of people for vehicle intelligence and life, the interior of the vehicle is no longer limited to color TVs, refrigerators, and large sofas, and many life systems have gradually been added. For example, tea-making equipment is added in the vehicle to provide a tea-making experience for drivers or passengers in the vehicle. For example, a vehicle-mounted tea-cooking system with a patent application number of 201711457403.9 realizes the cooking of in-vehicle tea through a cooking system to integrate a tea-making device system in the cockpit.

[0004] However, the tea system in the existing cockpit lacks intelligent control, cannot meet the personalized tea temperature requirements of users, and cannot meet the intelligent requirements of users for in-vehicle tea. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a control method and system for a tea system in an intelligent cockpit to meet the intelligent control requirements of users for the tea system in the cockpit and improve the user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a control method for a tea system in an intelligent cockpit, including real-time monitoring of the single driving time of the driver and the outdoor temperature data. After the single driving time and the outdoor temperature data reach preset conditions, the driver's body temperature is detected, and the tea heating temperature is calculated based on the collected driver's body temperature. The tea system is controlled to start heating until the temperature reaches the tea heating temperature, and at this time, the heating is stopped and a reminder signal is issued.

[0007] The palm temperature data of the driver is collected by a temperature sensor arranged in the steering wheel as the driver's body temperature data.

[0008] When detecting the driver's body temperature, if the detection data is invalid, a preset temperature is used as the tea heating temperature.

[0009] After heating to the tea heating temperature, the heating is stopped and the driver is reminded to drink tea by means of a sound reminder.

[0010] During the heating process, the water level in the tea-making system is monitored in real time. When the water level is lower than the set threshold, the heating stops and a water level alarm is issued.

[0011] After stopping the heating and sending a reminder signal, the tea temperature is continuously monitored within the set time range and the tea temperature is controlled to remain within the set temperature range. When no tea-drinking action of the driver is detected within the set range, the tea-making system enters the sleep state.

[0012] The water level in the tea-making system is monitored in real time, and the water intake of the driver is calculated based on the monitored water level change. The recommended water intake is calculated according to the collected driver's body temperature data, the outside temperature data of the vehicle, and the collected sweating state data of the driver; the driver is reminded to drink water according to the calculated real-time water intake and the recommended water intake of the driver.

After the single driving time and the outside temperature data meet the preset conditions, the cockpit controller detects the driver's body temperature and calculates the tea heating temperature according to the collected driver's body temperature, and controls the tea-making system to start heating until the temperature reaches the tea heating temperature.

At the same time, the tea anti-dry burning function is integrated to improve safety; and the water intake of the driver can be monitored and corresponding reminders can be issued in a timely manner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The following briefly describes the content expressed in each drawing of the present invention specification and the marks in the drawings:

[0019] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the principle flow of the control method of the present invention. Detailed implementation manners

[0020] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present invention by describing the optimal embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] This embodiment mainly realizes the temperature control of the tea water system in the intelligent cockpit, so as to make the brewing temperature of the tea meet the user's current state, and control the heating temperature of the tea water according to the user's current state, so as to match the tea water temperature with the driver's state and make the tea water temperature more meet the driver's needs. The specific implementation scheme includes:

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, a control method for a tea water system in an intelligent cockpit provided in this embodiment includes real-time monitoring of the driver's single driving time and the external temperature data of the vehicle. After the single driving time and the external temperature data reach the preset conditions, the driver's body temperature is detected, and the tea water heating temperature is calculated based on the collected driver's body temperature. The tea water system is controlled to start heating until the temperature reaches the tea water heating temperature, and then the heating is stopped and a reminder signal is sent.

[0023] The single driving time of the driver is detected, and the drinking standard is judged according to the driving time after the driver gets on the vehicle. If the driver has just got on the vehicle, there is no requirement for automatic tea drinking. Only when the vehicle has driven a certain distance will the tea water be automatically heated to meet the user's drinking needs. Therefore, a single driving time threshold is set. When the single driving time is greater than the time threshold, the preset condition in terms of time is met; the external temperature condition is mainly used to judge whether the tea water needs to be heated. Generally, hot tea is needed in an environment with a relatively low temperature, that is, the temperature in autumn and winter. In summer and other seasons with relatively high temperatures, people generally rarely drink hot tea. Therefore, the collection of the external temperature of the vehicle is set in this scheme, and an external temperature threshold is set. When the external temperature is less than the temperature threshold, the preset temperature condition is met; when both the external temperature and the single driving time meet their preset conditions, the heating of the tea water is started. In order to match the needs of different drivers and different states, the temperature to which the tea water is heated also needs to be set.

[0024] Since the body temperatures of different people are different, and for the same person, there are also differences in body temperature at different times. Under different body temperature differences, people have different requirements for the optimal tea water temperature. Therefore, when heating the tea water, it is necessary to obtain the optimal tea water temperature to which the tea water is heated. After the tea water is heated to the optimal tea water temperature, heating is stopped and the driver is reminded to drink the tea. This method can satisfy the needs of different drivers and even the same driver in different states as personalized as possible, thus achieving personalized satisfaction. Calculate the optimal tea water temperature matching the body temperature according to the collected body surface temperature data of the human body, and then heat the tea water according to the optimal temperature. The relationship between the body temperature and the optimal temperature is realized according to a pre-calibrated Map look-up table. According to the pre-calibrated Map table, after the temperature of the current driver is collected, the optimal tea water temperature is obtained through the Map table according to the temperature, and then the heating process is controlled to reach the optimal tea water temperature.

[0025] In this embodiment, the body temperature of the human body is collected by using a temperature sensor set in the steering wheel to collect the palm temperature data of the driver as the driver's body temperature data, and the palm temperature of the driver is detected through the temperature sensor in the steering wheel to characterize the body temperature of the driver. Since the driver detects the body temperature through the steering wheel, if the palm does not touch the detection area, it will lead to the inability to calculate the optimal tea water temperature, and thus the heating cannot be carried out. To solve this problem, this solution is set such that when detecting the driver's body temperature, if the detection data is invalid, where invalid includes that the body temperature significantly exceeds the normal range or no temperature signal is detected, a preset temperature is used as the optimal tea water heating temperature. Using the preset water temperature as the optimal heating temperature can thus achieve the tea water heating under abnormal conditions and avoid the defect of being unable to heat the tea water due to the inability to detect data.

[0026] In this embodiment, after heating to the tea water heating temperature, heating is stopped and the driver is reminded to drink the tea by means of a sound reminder. The sound includes but is not limited to a beep of a buzzer or a voice reminder issued by the in-vehicle voice system.

[0027] To avoid the phenomenon of dry burning during the heating process and reduce the safety hazards caused by dry burning, in this solution, during the heating process, the water level in the tea water system is monitored in real time. When the water level is lower than the set threshold, heating is stopped and a water level alarm is issued. The current water level is detected by a water level sensor set in the tea water system, and an alarm is issued and heating is stopped when the water level is too low.

[0028] After stopping heating and sending a reminder signal, continuously monitor the tea temperature within a set time range and control the tea temperature to remain within the set temperature range. When no drinking action of the driver is detected within the set range, the tea system enters the sleep state. After heating the tea to the optimal water temperature, the tea brewing is completed at this time. At this time, it is necessary to continuously monitor the tea temperature in the tea system and start the heat preservation process. In the heat preservation process, repeatedly start heating to keep the tea within the set temperature range to meet the user's tea needs. However, if no drinking action of the driver is detected within the time range from when the tea is heated to the optimal temperature until the time reaches the threshold, the tea system enters the sleep state and turns off the heating module of the tea system. At this time, the tea system stops working. The drinking action is recognized by image recognition of the driver's actions. The camera of the driver fatigue detection system collects the action images of the driver, and the actions of the driver in the images are recognized through image recognition. When no drinking action is recognized within the set time range, it means that the driver does not need tea temporarily, and there is no need to continue heat preservation at this time. The tea system goes into sleep and shuts down.

[0029] The water intake of the driver is actually related to a healthy life. Therefore, there are requirements for the daily water intake of each driver, etc. Drinking more water is beneficial to physical health. Therefore, it is necessary to count the daily water intake of the driver in the vehicle and give a reminder.

[0030] Real-time monitor the water level in the tea system, calculate the water intake of the driver based on the monitored water level changes, calculate the recommended water intake according to the time the driver spends in the vehicle, the driver's body temperature data, the outside temperature data, and the collected driver sweating state data; give a drinking reminder to the driver according to the calculated real-time water intake and recommended water intake of the driver.

[0031] By comparing the calculated recommended water intake and the actual water intake of the driver, send a drinking reminder in real time through the large screen, voice, etc. of the vehicle's cockpit system, so as to achieve the health reminder of the intelligent cockpit. In this embodiment, the real-time water intake of the driver can be calculated by monitoring the water level changes in the tea system. Take the reduction amount of the tea in the tea system as the water intake of the driver, count the reduction amount of the water temperature in the tea system when the driver is in the vehicle, and take the water volume corresponding to this water level reduction amount as the real-time water intake of the driver.

[0032] The recommended water intake refers to the optimal water intake for the driver based on the driver's state, which can be judged according to the driver's state. In this embodiment, the recommended water intake is calculated based on the time the driver spends in the vehicle, the driver's body temperature data, the outside temperature data, and the collected driver sweating state data. Because the longer the driver stays in the vehicle, the more the recommended water intake should increase; the higher the driver's body temperature, the more water should be drunk; the higher the outside temperature, the more water should be drunk; and the more the driver sweats, the more water should be drunk. Therefore, the time the driver spends in the vehicle, the driver's body temperature data, the outside temperature data, and the collected driver sweating state data are all positively correlated with the driver's recommended water intake. Thus, the relationship between the recommended water intake and the time the driver spends in the vehicle, the driver's body temperature data, the outside temperature data, and the collected driver sweating state data is calculated to achieve the calculation of the recommended water intake. When calculating, the relationship between the recommended water intake and the time the driver spends in the vehicle, the driver's body temperature data, the outside temperature data, and the collected driver sweating state data can be statistically calculated through a pre-calibrated method, so that the recommended water intake can be calculated based on the collected data. Furthermore, a reminder is sent to the user according to the recommended water intake and the collected real-time water intake.

[0033] In this embodiment, the present application also provides a control system for a tea water system in an intelligent cockpit, including a driving state acquisition module, outside temperature data, a driver body temperature detection module, and a cockpit controller; the driving state acquisition module, the outside temperature acquisition unit, and the driver body temperature detection module are all connected to the input end of the cockpit controller; the output end of the cockpit controller is connected to the tea water system; based on the vehicle driving state collected by the driving state acquisition module, the single driving time of the driver is monitored in real time, and the outside temperature data is collected through the outside temperature acquisition unit. After the single driving time and the outside temperature data meet the preset conditions, the cockpit controller detects the driver's body temperature and calculates the tea water heating temperature based on the collected driver body temperature, and controls the tea water system to start heating until the temperature reaches the tea water heating temperature.

[0034] The output end of the cockpit controller is connected to the reminder module, which is used to drive the reminder module to emit a reminder sound for drinking tea after heating to the tea heating temperature. A temperature sensor is set in the steering wheel to collect the temperature data of the driver's palm to detect the driver's body temperature. The collection of human body temperature uses the temperature sensor set in the steering wheel to collect the temperature data of the driver's palm as the driver's body temperature data, and detects the driver's palm temperature through the temperature sensor in the steering wheel to characterize the driver's body temperature. Since the driver detects the body temperature through the steering wheel, if the palm does not touch the detection area, it will lead to the inability to calculate the optimal tea temperature, and thus the inability to heat. To solve this problem, this solution is set to use the preset temperature as the optimal tea heating temperature when detecting the driver's body temperature and if the detection data is invalid, where invalid includes the body temperature significantly exceeding the normal range or no temperature signal being detected. Using the preset water temperature as the optimal heating temperature can thus achieve tea heating under abnormal conditions and avoid the defect of being unable to heat the tea due to the inability to detect data.

[0038] Step ③: The controller located in the vehicle cockpit outputs a heating instruction to the tea heating device;

[0039] Step ④: The tea heating device located in the vehicle cockpit receives the heating instruction, starts heating, and stops heating after the tea is heated to the specified temperature, and a warning sound reminds the driver to drink the tea;

[0040] Step ⑤: The tea heating device automatically turns on the anti-dry-burning mode, so that the tea heating device is always in a safety monitoring state until the end of this driving.

[0041] 2. Technical conditions and actual parameters for each step:

[0042] ① When the sensor on the steering wheel monitors that the single driving time exceeds 40 minutes and the outside temperature is below 26°C, it will start to collect the temperature information of the driver's hand skin, and the effective temperature range is 35.5°C - 37.5°C. Exceeding this range is regarded as an invalid collection result;

[0043] ② The controller located in the vehicle cockpit calculates and processes the effective temperature information:

[0044] Skin temperature of 35.5°C - 35.7°C corresponds to a tea temperature of 97°C

[0045] The skin temperature of 35.7℃ - 35.9℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 96℃,

[0046] The skin temperature of 35.9℃ - 36.1℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 95℃,

[0047] The skin temperature of 36.1℃ - 36.3℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 94℃,

[0048] The skin temperature of 36.3℃ - 36.5℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 93℃,

[0049] The skin temperature of 36.5℃ - 36.7℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 92℃,

[0050] The skin temperature of 36.7℃ - 36.9℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 91℃,

[0051] The skin temperature of 36.9℃ - 37.1℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 90℃,

[0052] The skin temperature of 37.1℃ - 37.3℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 89℃,

[0053] The skin temperature of 37.3℃ - 37.5℃ corresponds to the tea water temperature of 88℃.

[0054] ③ The controller located in the vehicle cockpit outputs heating instructions (start / stop heating, heat the tea water to XX degrees Celsius, buzzer sounds for 1 second) to the tea water heating device;

[0055] ④ The tea water heating device receives the heating instructions, starts heating, stops heating after detecting that the tea water has been heated to the specified temperature, and the warning sound sounds for 1 second to remind the driver to drink the tea;

[0056] ⑤ The tea water heating device automatically activates the dry - burning prevention mode and automatically stops working when it detects that the water level is lower than the specified scale.

[0057] 3. Equipment required for each step:

[0058] ① The sensor located on the steering wheel can collect human skin temperature information, collect and process the single - driving time, and collect and process the outside - vehicle temperature; ② and ③ The controllers located in the vehicle cockpit collect human skin temperature information, calculate and process it, and output heating instructions; ④ The tea water heating device heats the tea water, detects the tea water temperature, and is equipped with a buzzer, and also activates the dry - burning prevention mode.

[0060] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the steps of the method of the technical solution of this patent are as follows: First, the sensor installed on the steering wheel collects the skin temperature information of the driver's hand. At the same time, the sensor on the steering wheel also monitors the single driving time and the outside temperature. When the single driving time exceeds 40 minutes and the outside temperature is below 26 °C, the collection of the driver's hand skin temperature information is effective; otherwise, it is invalid. Secondly, the hand temperature sensor will transmit the collected valid information to the controller. After calculation, the controller will obtain a tea water temperature value suitable for the driver's body temperature. Then, the controller will issue a heating instruction to the tea water heating device to heat the tea water to this temperature. Finally, the tea water heating device accepts the instruction of the controller, stops after heating the tea water to the specified temperature, the buzzer sounds for 1 second to remind the driver to pick up the tea water, and the tea water heating device automatically turns on the anti-dry burning mode to keep the tea water heating device in a safety monitoring state at all times.

[0061] Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited by the above-mentioned manner. As long as various non-substantive improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
