Attached Figure Description
[0026] To more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below.
[0027] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a control system for a vehicle-mounted beverage bar provided by the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation methods.
[0029] To address the current problem that in-vehicle beverage bars cannot interact with the vehicle and cannot automatically upgrade, this invention provides a control system for in-vehicle beverage bars. This system solves the problem of existing in-vehicle beverage bars being unable to interact with the vehicle and automatically upgrade, thereby improving the intelligence and technological sophistication of in-vehicle beverage bars and enhancing user comfort.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a control system for an in-vehicle beverage bar includes: an in-vehicle entertainment controller, a domain controller, an in-vehicle beverage bar controller, an in-vehicle charger, and a central control screen. The in-vehicle charger is electrically connected to the in-vehicle beverage bar controller to provide 220V high-voltage power to the in-vehicle beverage bar. The in-vehicle entertainment controller is communicatively connected to both the in-vehicle charger and the domain controller via a CAN-FD bus. The in-vehicle entertainment controller is signal-connected to the central control screen and receives user beverage bar control commands through the central control screen. The domain controller is connected to the in-vehicle beverage bar controller via a CAN bus. The domain controller receives vehicle status information sent by the vehicle controller and beverage bar control commands sent by the in-vehicle entertainment controller, enabling the in-vehicle beverage bar controller to control the beverages and provide information feedback according to the beverage bar control commands. When the domain controller receives an OTA upgrade request, it downloads the upgrade package and sends it to the in-vehicle beverage bar controller for remote OTA software upgrade of the in-vehicle beverage bar.
[0031] Specifically, the domain controller acts as a gateway, forwarding signals from different network segments. It provides the in-vehicle beverage bar with basic vehicle information, such as speed, acceleration, and date, and issues control commands and reports the bar's status. The in-vehicle beverage bar controller manages the water heating and dispensing operations, and receives control commands from the domain controller. For high voltage, 220V high-voltage power is provided by the onboard charger, and control commands are sent to the beverage bar via soft switches and voice commands on the vehicle's infotainment controller and central control screen. Simultaneously, when the domain controller receives an OTA upgrade, it downloads the upgrade package and sends it to the in-vehicle beverage bar controller for remote OTA software upgrades. This system enhances the intelligence and technological sophistication of the in-vehicle beverage bar, improving user comfort.
[0032] The system also includes an inverter box; the inverter box is connected in series between the on-board charger and the on-board bar controller, and the inverter box is used to convert the DC power of the on-board charger into 220V AC power to supply the high voltage power of the on-board bar.
[0033] Furthermore, the inverter box is equipped with a 220V socket and a charging port, and the external power supply provides power to the vehicle charger or vehicle bar through the 220V socket.
[0034] In practical applications, the inverter box can simultaneously discharge inside the vehicle while charging via AC, greatly improving user convenience and allowing users to enjoy coffee and hot water while charging.
[0035] Furthermore, the central control screen is equipped with a human-machine interaction interface, through which users can interact with the in-vehicle bar and input bar control commands.
[0036] Furthermore, the central control screen is equipped with an audio acquisition module, which receives the user's bar control audio. The vehicle-mounted bar controller identifies the bar control audio and generates corresponding bar control commands.
[0037] In practical applications, users can control the water dispensing settings, heating methods, and temperature control of the beverage bar through the human-computer interaction interface. In one embodiment, the beverage bar is equipped with a water storage tank or a heating tank, and mineral water is placed in the water storage tank or heating tank. The temperature and opening / closing operation of the water storage tank or heating tank are controlled by the control commands output by the central control screen.
[0038] The system also includes: a vehicle speed sensor; the vehicle speed sensor is connected to the vehicle controller, and the vehicle controller sends the real-time vehicle speed to the domain controller based on the detection signal of the vehicle speed sensor; when the vehicle speed is greater than a set vehicle speed threshold, the domain controller sends a beverage bar restriction command to the vehicle beverage bar controller to restrict the water dispensing from the vehicle beverage bar.
[0039] In practical applications, the in-vehicle beverage bar controller can obtain the vehicle speed information and acceleration information of the entire vehicle, including the information of world time, and can ensure relatively high driving safety through software logic. When the vehicle speed exceeds 130 km / h, the water outlet can be restricted. At the same time, when it is detected that the vehicle acceleration is too large, the water supply can be stopped urgently to ensure the safety of the passengers in the passenger compartment and prevent them from being scalded by hot water.
[0040] The system further includes: a temperature sensor; the temperature sensor is signal-connected to the vehicle controller, and the vehicle controller sends the real-time outdoor temperature to the domain controller according to the detection signal of the temperature sensor; the domain controller sends an anti-freezing limit instruction to the in-vehicle beverage bar controller when the outdoor temperature is lower than the set temperature threshold to perform anti-freezing control on the in-vehicle beverage bar.
[0041] In practical applications, in winter, when the outdoor temperature is too low, there is a risk that the water in the pipeline will freeze and crack the pipeline. For the anti-freezing control solution of the water heater, when the temperature of the vehicle's external temperature sensor is lower than 5°C, the beverage bar is controlled to automatically drain the remaining water. By closing the inlet water pump and starting the air pump and the outlet water pump, the remaining water in the pipeline is quickly drained to protect the safety of the machine.
[0042] Furthermore, the in-vehicle beverage bar controller obtains the water temperature and water volume of the in-vehicle beverage bar in real time, and feeds them back to the central control screen through the vehicle entertainment controller for display.
[0043] In practical applications, through the vehicle integration of the domain controller, the vehicle will have various scenario modes. For example, in the tea-tasting mode, the window sunshades are closed, the rear row projection screen is linked to project pictures and sounds of the tea ceremony artistic conception, and at the same time, the hot water beverage bar is automatically turned on, and the water temperature is set to the water temperature for making tea. Subsequently, various modes can be combined according to different user scenarios. The vehicle entertainment controller can call through the Ethernet hot water beverage bar interface and then convert the CAN signal by the domain controller to realize voice control of the in-vehicle beverage bar to adjust the water outlet temperature, water volume and other water outlet settings, enabling users to obtain a more convenient operation method.
[0044] Furthermore, the in-vehicle beverage bar controller is equipped with a timer, and the cleaning cycle of the in-vehicle beverage bar is recorded through the timer. When the cleaning cycle exceeds the set time, a user cleaning reminder is sent through the central control screen or the user's mobile phone APP.
[0045] Furthermore, the in-vehicle beverage bar controller uses a vehicle-grade chip with AB partitions and supports the rollback function during OTA upgrade.
[0046] As can be seen, the present invention provides a control system for an in-vehicle beverage bar. The in-vehicle beverage bar controller is connected to a domain controller via a CAN bus. The domain controller receives vehicle status information sent by the vehicle controller and beverage bar control commands sent by the vehicle infotainment controller. The in-vehicle beverage bar controller then controls the in-vehicle beverage bar to control the beverages and perform OTA upgrades according to the beverage bar control commands. This solves the problem that existing in-vehicle beverage bars cannot interact with the vehicle and cannot automatically upgrade, thus improving the intelligence and technological sophistication of the in-vehicle beverage bar and enhancing user comfort.
[0047] The structure, features, and effects of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the embodiments shown in the figures. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the figures.
