Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to automotive cover technology, specifically to an automatic inflatable automotive protective cover. Background Technology

[0002] Hailstorms cause multifaceted and often severe damage to automobiles. When hailstones of varying diameters fall rapidly from high altitudes, their immense impact directly affects the vehicle's exterior. The steel body panels, especially large horizontal surfaces like the hood, roof, and trunk lid, are left with numerous dents, severely damaging the paint and exposing the primer, which in turn leads to corrosion. Windows and sunroofs are another vulnerable area; larger hailstones can crack or shatter the glass, endangering the safety of occupants and exposing the vehicle's interior to the outside environment. Furthermore, external components such as rearview mirror housings, headlight covers, and wiper arms can also be cracked or deformed. This damage not only severely affects the car's appearance and value but can also lead to deeper problems: dense dents alter the stress distribution on the body panels, and potential minor structural deformations can affect vehicle performance and safety in extreme cases; simultaneously, water entering damaged seals and seams can cause interior mold, short circuits or malfunctions in electronic circuits, creating long-term safety hazards.

[0003] Moreover, vehicle damage repair is a complicated and expensive process. Full bodywork and painting are costly, and replacing large windows such as sunroofs or windshields is even more expensive. Therefore, while car owners take precautions by parking indoors during hailstorms, some outdoor parking spaces lack indoor parking options. Although protective car covers can be used, existing covers are too thin to absorb the impact of hail, allowing it to penetrate and damage the vehicle. Therefore, existing car cover structures need improvement to enhance their hail protection capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic inflatable car cover to solve the problem of poor hail protection in existing car covers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic inflatable car cover, comprising:

[0006] A car cover, which is composed of multiple inflatable columns;

[0007] The instant inflation assembly, connected to the car cover, consists of a high-pressure gas tank and an electronic trigger valve connected to the high-pressure gas tank. A gas diffusion pipeline is connected to the electronic trigger valve, and branch pipes of the gas diffusion pipeline are connected to the inflation column.

[0008] An auxiliary micro-air pump is connected to the car cover and to the gas diffusion pipeline network;

[0009] The sensor assembly, mounted on the car cover, consists of a high-frequency vibration sensor and a distributed pressure sensor.

[0010] The central processing unit is connected to the electronic trigger valve, the auxiliary micro-pump, and the sensor assembly, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the car cover is made of aramid fiber substrate, covered with a flame-retardant coating, and internally connected with TPU composite material.

[0012] Preferably, the high-pressure gas tank stores high-pressure inert gas, and the gas storage pressure is 20-30 MPa.

[0013] Preferably, the gas diffusion network is a multi-channel manifold used to supply gas to multiple gas columns through branch pipes.

[0014] Preferably, the working pressure of the auxiliary micro-pump is 5-10 kPa.

[0015] Preferably, the high-frequency vibration sensor is a miniature piezoelectric sensor, and multiple sensors are provided and integrated in an array on the top of the car cover, covering the roof and hood. The distributed pressure sensor is a miniature MEMS pressure sensor, distributed at the connection nodes of the inflatable column.

[0016] Preferably, the electronic trigger valve, auxiliary micro-pump, sensor assembly, and central processing unit are all connected to the vehicle power supply.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides an automatic inflatable car cover. By incorporating a car cover, an instantaneous inflation component, an auxiliary micro-pump, a sensor assembly, and a central processing unit, the user can place the car cover on the vehicle. After connecting to the system power supply, a high-frequency vibration sensor and a distributed pressure sensor continuously monitor the environment. The auxiliary micro-pump maintains the base air pressure, causing the car cover to inflate slightly, thus increasing its basic protective capability while allowing the user to quickly deflate and remove it. The central processing unit identifies and confirms the signals captured by the sensors; once an incident occurs... In the event of hail, once the sensor components detect the impact signal between the hail and the car cover, the central processing unit sends an opening command to the electronic trigger valve. Inert gas from the high-pressure gas tank is quickly injected into the inflation column of the car cover through the gas diffusion network. The inflated car cover wraps around the vehicle body, and subsequent hail can only hit the elastic aramid protective layer of the car cover filled with gas, thus dispersing and absorbing its kinetic energy and preventing damage to the vehicle. After the hailstorm ends, the gas inside the car cover is discharged through an auxiliary micro-air pump, and the folded car cover can be stored away. The high-pressure gas tank can be replaced or refilled for future use. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0027] Example:

[0028] This invention provides an automatic inflatable car cover, comprising:

[0029] Car cover 3, which is composed of multiple inflatable columns 31, is made of aramid fiber substrate, covered with flame retardant coating to ensure fire and scratch resistance, and has TPU composite material connected inside to withstand the instantaneous impact of high pressure gas without breaking.

[0030] The instant inflation assembly 1, connected to the car cover 3, consists of a high-pressure gas tank 11 and an electronic trigger valve 12 connected to the high-pressure gas tank 11. The electronic trigger valve 12 is connected to a gas diffusion pipeline network 13, and the branch pipes of the gas diffusion pipeline network 13 are connected to the inflation column 31. The high-pressure gas tank 11 stores high-pressure inert gas with a storage pressure of 20-30 MPa, which enhances the overall fire safety. The gas diffusion pipeline network 13 is a multi-channel manifold used to supply gas to multiple inflation columns 31 through branch pipes.

[0031] An auxiliary micro-air pump 2 is connected to the car cover 3 and to the gas diffusion network 13. The working pressure of the auxiliary micro-air pump 2 is 5-10 kPa.

[0032] Sensor assembly 4, mounted on the car cover 3, consists of a high-frequency vibration sensor 41 and a distributed pressure sensor 42;

[0033] The central processing unit 5 is connected to the electronic trigger valve 12, the auxiliary micro air pump 2, and the sensor assembly 4, respectively.

[0034] As can be seen from the above, by setting up the car cover 3, the instant inflation component 1, the auxiliary micro-air pump 2, the sensor component 4, and the central processing unit 5, the user can cover the car with the car cover 3. After connecting to the system power supply, the high-frequency vibration sensor 41 and the distributed pressure sensor 42 start to continuously monitor the environment. The auxiliary micro-air pump 2 maintains the basic air pressure, causing the car cover 3 to inflate slightly, which not only increases the basic protection of the car cover 3, but also makes it easy for the user to quickly deflate and remove the car cover 3. The central processing unit 5 identifies and confirms the signals captured by the sensors. Once hail occurs, the sensor component 4 detects... After detecting the impact signal between the hail and the car cover 3, the central processing unit 5 sends an opening command to the electronic trigger valve 12. The inert gas in the high-pressure gas tank 11 is quickly injected into the inflation column 31 of the car cover 3 through the gas diffusion network 13. The inflated car cover 3 wraps around the car body, and subsequent hail can only hit the aramid protective layer of the car cover 3, which is filled with gas and elastic. Its kinetic energy is dispersed and absorbed, and it cannot damage the vehicle. After the hail ends, the gas inside the car cover 3 is discharged by the auxiliary micro air pump 2, and the folded car cover 3 can be stored. The high-pressure gas tank 11 can be replaced or refilled for backup.

[0035] The high-frequency vibration sensor 41 is a miniature piezoelectric sensor, and multiple of them are integrated in an array on the top of the car cover 3, covering the roof and hood. The distributed pressure sensor 42 is a miniature MEMS pressure sensor, which is distributed at the connection nodes of the inflatable column 31.

[0036] Hail impacts are extremely short, high-frequency mechanical vibrations. These sensors are specifically designed to capture this unique high-frequency (>500Hz), low-amplitude impact signal, while ignoring low-frequency noises such as wind, vehicle horns, and distant thunder.

[0037] The electronic trigger valve 12, auxiliary micro air pump 2, sensor assembly 4, and central processing unit 5 are all connected to the vehicle power supply.

[0038] Central Processing Unit 5 is a microprocessor with a built-in AI chip that continuously reads data from all sensors and incorporates a trained machine learning model. This model has learned numerous vibration patterns (waveform, frequency, duration) from various scenarios, including hail impacts, raindrop patters, light scratches from branches, and falling heavy objects. When sensor data is received, the AI ​​chip performs pattern matching within milliseconds (<10ms). Only when the features closely match those of "hail impact" will it send a trigger command to the inflation system. This greatly reduces false alarms (e.g., being stepped on by a cat won't trigger it).

[0039] Unlike traditional car covers, this product is an "active vehicle protection system" based on AI sensing and high-pressure gas drive, achieving a leap from "passive coverage" to "active instant protection", specifically designed to deal with sudden hail disasters.

[0040] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
