[0023] In recent years, due to climate change, hailstorms have become more frequent. When hail strikes, it can shatter car windows and leave large dents in the vehicle body, causing significant economic losses to users. Falling objects from heights are also commonplace, causing considerable damage to vehicles. To prevent destructive impacts from hail or falling objects on the vehicle body and external components, existing technologies offer physical external protection devices for automobiles, including hail protection tarpaulins, airbag-insulated hail covers, and hail protection devices. However, these devices are not widely used in actual vehicles, and most existing devices require manual application and dismantling, which is inconvenient and time-consuming. Furthermore, existing devices lack intelligence and early warning capabilities.

[0024] Based on this, this application provides a vehicle protection system that analyzes the vehicle body impact risk in real time through a risk monitoring system. It can automatically control the protective shield to perform corresponding protective actions based on the analysis results, improving the convenience of protection and effectively reducing or avoiding damage to the vehicle body from falling objects. Specifically, as follows: Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This diagram illustrates one of the structural schematics of a vehicle protection system provided in an embodiment of this application. Please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 An interactive schematic diagram of a vehicle protection system provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle protection system provided in this application embodiment includes a vehicle-mounted system 1, a protection control system 2, a protective shield 3 formed of gradient composite material, and a risk monitoring system 4. Specifically, the interaction mode of the vehicle protection system includes: Risk monitoring system 4, execution: S100: Collects data on the risk of vehicle impact and sends it to the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0025] Vehicle infotainment system 1, execute: S200 performs intelligent analysis on vehicle impact risk data and determines the analysis results.

[0026] S300: Generates the first protection signal based on the analysis results and sends it to the protection control system.

[0027] The analysis results indicate whether there is a risk of body impact to the vehicle body.

[0028] Protection and control system 2, execute: S400, in response to the first protection signal, controls the protective cover to perform the corresponding protection action.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, the protective cover 3 provided in this application is embedded in the top of the vehicle. The protective cover 3 incorporates the folding mechanism of insect wings, employing a multi-jointed hinged frame support, which reduces the overall storage volume of the protective cover by 60% compared to previous designs, and increases the unfolding speed to within 20 seconds to complete coverage. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a protective cover provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the protective cover 3 includes a surface de-icing layer 31, an intermediate energy-absorbing layer 32, and a bottom composite layer 33 stacked from top to bottom. The surface de-icing layer 31 is composed of fluorocarbon compounds, which are mainly used to reduce the adhesion of impacting objects. If the impacting object is hail, it can reduce the possibility of the protective cover 3 freezing.

[0030] The middle energy-absorbing layer 32 has a honeycomb structure. Specifically, the middle energy-absorbing layer 32 is a composite material formed by multiple hexagonal honeycomb structures connected by connecting rods. The bottom composite layer 33 is made of shape memory alloy material and piezoelectric material array composite.

[0031] The surface de-icing layer 31 can quickly remove ice when hit by hail, the middle energy-absorbing layer 32 disperses the impact force generated by the object's impact, and the bottom composite layer 33 is made of shape memory alloy material. Therefore, the protective cover 3 provided in this application can not only automatically recover after being deformed by pressure, but also, due to the influence of its material, support the automatic hardening and enhancement of structural strength in low-temperature environments, and support flexible shrinkage in high-temperature environments for easy storage.

[0032] Specifically, after the protective cover is deployed: when the weather temperature is in the preset low temperature range corresponding to the bottom composite layer, the protective cover automatically hardens and strengthens; when the weather temperature is in the preset high temperature range corresponding to the bottom composite layer, the protective cover automatically and flexibly retracts.

[0033] Furthermore, since a piezoelectric material array is embedded in the bottom composite layer 33 of this application, after the protective cover provided by this application is unfolded, the piezoelectric material array embedded in the bottom composite layer 33 will convert the kinetic energy generated by the object impacting the protective cover into electrical energy, and further store it in the designated energy storage device 5 provided by the vehicle protection system. The electrical energy in the designated energy storage device 5 is used to power the vehicle sensor that is pre-connected to the power supply circuit corresponding to the designated energy storage device 5. In a specific embodiment, taking hail as an example, if the hail weather lasts for 10 minutes, the converted electrical energy can support the power supply of the vehicle sensor for 3 hours.

[0034] Furthermore, the protective cover provided in this application can solve the problem of the limited cushioning effect of single-layer materials.

[0035] Furthermore, the protective cover provided in this application integrates photovoltaic power station anti-hail glass reinforcement technology, and thickens the edge support structure of the protective cover, enabling the vehicle to withstand the impact of an object with a diameter of 5cm (the current standard is 3cm).

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle protection system provided by this application further includes an interactive system 6. Specifically, the vehicle protection system provided by this application has two triggering control methods for the protective cover 3. One triggering control method is to collect and further analyze the impact risk data of the vehicle through the risk monitoring system as described in steps S100 to S400 above, and trigger automatic control of the protective cover based on the analysis results. The other triggering method is for the user to issue control commands to the protective cover 3 through the interactive system 6, and realize the opening or closing control of the protective cover 3 under the control commands issued by the user.

[0037] Please refer to 4. Figure 4 This is a second schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle protection system provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the risk monitoring system 4 includes a weather radar sensor 41, a temperature and humidity sensor 42 (including a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor), a vehicle body pressure sensor 43, an image acquisition module 44, and an on-board ultrasonic sensor 45. The image acquisition module 44 can be a camera. In step S100, the vehicle impact risk data includes meteorological data, weather temperature and humidity data (weather temperature and weather humidity), vehicle body pressure data, image data, and ultrasonic data. The vehicle system 1 includes a data acquisition module 11 and an intelligent analysis module 12. The first protection signal includes a first protection activation signal and a first protection sleep signal.

[0038] In this application, the data acquisition module 11 performs the following functions: acquiring meteorological data through the meteorological radar sensor 41, acquiring weather temperature and humidity data through the temperature and humidity sensor 42, acquiring vehicle pressure data through the vehicle body pressure sensor 43, acquiring image data through the image acquisition module 44, and acquiring ultrasonic data through the vehicle-mounted ultrasonic sensor 45. The meteorological data, weather temperature and humidity data, vehicle body pressure data, image data, and ultrasonic data are combined to form vehicle impact risk data, which is then sent to the intelligent analysis module 12 and the interactive system 6.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, in one of the trigger control methods of the protective cover 3, the intelligent analysis module 12 performs the following: intelligent analysis of meteorological data, weather temperature and humidity data and vehicle body pressure data to determine whether there is a risk of vehicle body impact. If there is a risk of vehicle body impact, a first protection activation signal is generated and sent to the protection control system. If there is no risk of vehicle body impact, a first protection dormancy signal is generated and sent to the protection control system.

[0040] In another preferred embodiment, since this application provides an interactive system 6, the intelligent analysis module 12 of this application also performs the following: after analyzing and determining that there is a risk of vehicle body impact and generating a first protection activation signal, it also generates corresponding vehicle body protection warning information and pushes it to the interactive system 6 for display. The vehicle body protection warning information indicates that the vehicle will be subjected to hail within a preset time period in the future.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the intelligent analysis module 12 determines whether there is a risk of vehicle body impact by means of: Meteorological data and temperature and humidity data are analyzed to predict whether hail will occur within a preset time period. Vehicle body pressure data is analyzed to determine whether the vehicle body is impacted by external objects. If hail occurs and / or the vehicle body is impacted by external objects within the preset time period, then there is a risk of vehicle body impact. If there is no hail and the vehicle body is not impacted by external objects within the preset time period, then there is no risk of vehicle body impact.

[0042] In one example, the vehicle body pressure collected by the vehicle body pressure sensor is compared with a preset pressure threshold. If the vehicle body pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that the vehicle body has been impacted by an external object. If the vehicle body pressure is less than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, it is determined that the vehicle body has not been impacted by an external object.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, another triggering control method for the protective cover 3 includes: Interactive system 6 executes: in response to the second protection signal input by the user, it sends the second protection signal to the intelligent analysis module 12.

[0044] Intelligent analysis module 12 executes: sending the second protection signal to protection control system 2. The protection control system 2 executes the corresponding protective action in response to the second protection signal.

[0045] Preferably, the second protection signal includes a second protection activation signal and a second protection sleep signal actively sent by the user.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, protection and control system 2 executes: In response to the protection activation signal (first protection activation signal and second protection activation signal), the image data collected by the image acquisition module 44 is extracted from the intelligent analysis module. Based on the image data, the size of the maximum impact object that will impact the vehicle body is determined. The protective cover is activated according to the protection strength corresponding to the size of the maximum impact object. In response to the protection dormancy signal, the unfolded protective cover is automatically folded and stored.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, since the image acquisition module may capture multiple impact objects, the largest impact object size corresponding to the multiple impact objects indicated in the image data is used as the standard for measuring the opening strength of the protective cover in this application. This can effectively reduce the impact damage to the vehicle caused by the impact objects.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the protection control system 2 controls the opening strength of the protective cover in the following manner: If the size of the object with the largest impact is less than or equal to the first preset size (for example, the first preset size is 1cm), the protective shield is activated for low-intensity protection. If the size of the object with the largest impact is greater than or equal to the second preset size (for example, the second preset size is 2cm) and less than or equal to the third preset size (for example, the third preset size is 3cm), the protective shield is activated for medium-intensity protection. If the size of the object with the largest impact is greater than the third preset size, the protective shield is activated for high-intensity protection. The first preset size is less than the second preset size, and the second preset size is less than the third preset size.

[0049] In this application, the opening strength of the protective shield is determined by the number of multi-joint hinged frames that unfold. The higher the protective strength, the more multi-joint hinged frames unfold. Specifically, depending on the size of the impacting object, the degree of deformation of the protective shield is measured by the deformation response of the intermediate energy-absorbing layer to the compaction strain. After the honeycomb structure of the intermediate energy-absorbing layer is impacted by the impacting object, it enters the densification stage, making the entire protective shield stronger and more robust. That is, the strength hardening of the protective shield is achieved from the material level. On the other hand, as the protective strength increases, multiple multi-joint hinged frames are extended on the original basic support of the protective shield to strengthen the support strength of the protective shield. Thus, the protective strength of the entire protective shield is enhanced in terms of both material structure and physical method.

[0050] In another preferred embodiment, the protection control system 2 also performs: In response to the protection activation signal (first protection activation signal or second protection activation signal), the ultrasonic data collected by the vehicle ultrasonic sensor is acquired. Based on the ultrasonic data, the vehicle's driving state is determined. The vehicle's driving state includes driving state and stationary state. If the vehicle is driving, the protective shield is controlled to be in a semi-deployed state to protect the roof. If the vehicle is stationary, the protective shield is controlled to be in a fully deployed state to protect the entire vehicle body.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, after the protective cover is unfolded: when the weather temperature is in the preset low temperature range corresponding to the bottom composite layer, the protective cover automatically hardens and strengthens; when the weather temperature is in the preset high temperature range corresponding to the bottom composite layer, the protective cover automatically and flexibly retracts.

[0052] The preset low temperature range and preset high temperature range are determined by the temperature characteristics of the bottom composite layer. The specific preset low temperature range and preset high temperature range can be determined in advance by conducting temperature characteristic tests on the bottom composite layer, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the interactive system 6 includes a remote interactive system formed by a remote terminal 61 (exemplarily, such as a mobile phone terminal) and a TSP platform. The remote terminal 61 provides a first protective shield control interface and a first voice interaction component. The vehicle system 1 also includes a remote data interaction service 13. For the remote interactive system, data interaction with the vehicle system 1 is specifically completed in the following ways: Remote terminal 61 executes: in response to the second protection signal input by the user through the first protective cover control interface or the first voice interaction component, it sends the second protection signal to the TSP platform.

[0054] The TSP platform executes the following: the second protection signal is sent sequentially to the protection control system 2 via the remote data interaction service 13 and the intelligent analysis module 12.

[0055] The intelligent analysis module 12 executes the following: it sequentially pushes the vehicle protection warning information to the remote terminal 61 for display via the remote data interaction service 13 and the TSP platform.

[0056] The data acquisition module 11 performs the following: sequentially pushes the collected vehicle impact risk data to the remote terminal 61 for display via the remote data interaction service 13 and the TSP platform.

[0057] In this application, the second protection signal is either a second protection activation signal that controls the opening of the protective cover 3 or a second protection dormancy signal that controls the retraction of the protective cover 3. The TSP platform and the remote terminal 61 mainly communicate and exchange data through 4G / 5G communication. The vehicle protection system provided in this application supports OTA upgrades to ensure that the vehicle property safety system is continuously updated and optimized.

[0058] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the interactive system also includes an in-vehicle interactive system formed by the in-vehicle infotainment system and the GW gateway (Gateway, a core device connecting different networks). The in-vehicle infotainment system includes an in-vehicle screen and a second voice interaction component. The in-vehicle screen provides a second protective cover control interface. Specifically, the data interaction with the vehicle system 1 is completed in the following ways: The in-vehicle infotainment system 62 performs the following: In response to a second protection signal input by the user through the second protective cover control interface or the second voice interaction component, the second protection signal is sent to the intelligent analysis module 12 through the GW gateway.

[0059] The intelligent analysis module 12 also performs the following: pushes the vehicle protection warning information to the in-vehicle infotainment system 62 for display via the GW gateway.

[0060] The data acquisition module 11 performs the following: it pushes the collected vehicle impact risk data to the in-vehicle infotainment system 62 for display via the GW gateway.

[0061] The vehicle protection system provided in this application mainly provides protection for vehicles in scenarios involving falling objects from heights and hail, ensuring the safety of vehicle owners' property. By integrating materials science, edge intelligence, and energy recovery, it fills the technological gaps in dynamic response efficiency and cross-system collaboration, achieving full-chain innovation of "perception-defense-value-added".

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
