[0021] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the refueling truck 1 includes a chassis 10, a top-mounted assembly 20 disposed on the chassis 10, a vehicle display screen 30, a vehicle gateway 40, and a master controller 50 electrically connected to the vehicle gateway 40. The top-mounted assembly 20 includes a top-mounted controller 21, the vehicle gateway 40 is electrically connected to the top-mounted controller 21, and is electrically connected to the vehicle display screen 30, and the top-mounted controller 21 communicates with the master controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40, and communicates with the vehicle display screen 30.

[0022] The chassis 10 includes a transmission system, a travel system, a steering system and a braking system, wherein the transmission system includes: a clutch, a transmission, a universal joint, etc., the travel system includes a frame, an axle, wheels and a suspension, etc., the steering system includes a steering wheel, a steering shaft and a steering rod, etc., the braking system includes brake pads, etc., and the chassis 10 constitutes the power part of the refueling truck 1.

[0023] The upper assembly 20 includes a liftable lifting platform and a refueling pipeline arranged on the lifting platform. The lifting platform assists the refueling personnel to get closer to the refueling port of the aircraft so as to align the refueling pipeline with the refueling port of the aircraft. The upper assembly 20 also includes an upper assembly controller 21, which is used to connect and control multiple switch elements in the upper assembly 20, and control the refueling process by controlling the opening and closing of the switch elements.

[0024] The vehicle gateway 40 is electrically connected to the upper controller 21 and to the vehicle display screen 30. Specifically, the vehicle gateway 40 includes a first network port 41 and a second network port 42, the first network port 41 is electrically connected to the upper controller 21, the second network port 42 is electrically connected to the vehicle display screen 30, and in the vehicle gateway 40, the first network port 41 and the second network port 42 are electrically connected.

[0025] The refueling vehicle 1 provided in the present application is provided with a vehicle-mounted gateway 40 and a main controller 50 electrically connected to the vehicle-mounted gateway 40. The vehicle-mounted gateway 40 is electrically connected to the upper-mounted controller 21. The upper-mounted controller 21 communicates with the main controller 50 through the vehicle-mounted gateway 40. The information of the upper-mounted controller 21 can be transmitted to the main controller 50, so that the main controller 50 can collect, summarize, analyze and store the information of the upper-mounted controller 21.

[0026] The information of the upper-mounted controller 21 includes the input information of the upper-mounted controller 21 and the output information of the upper-mounted controller 21. By collecting, summarizing and analyzing the input information of the upper-mounted controller 21 and the output information of the upper-mounted controller 21, it is convenient to timely discover the working status of the switching element connected to the upper-mounted controller 21. If the switching element is in a faulty state or there is a hidden danger of fault, it is convenient to take measures as soon as possible to avoid danger during refueling.

[0027] By providing the vehicle display screen 30 and electrically connecting the vehicle gateway 40 and the vehicle display screen 30 , the input information of the upper mounted controller 21 and the output information of the upper mounted controller 21 can be displayed on the display screen, so that the refueling personnel can view the information in the vehicle.

[0028] In some preferred embodiments, the upper assembly 20 includes a refueling flow meter 22, and the vehicle gateway 40 is electrically connected to the refueling flow meter 22, and the refueling flow meter 22 communicates with the main controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40. The refueling flow meter 22 is a device that reflects the flow information during the refueling process. The refueling flow meter 22 can obtain data such as instantaneous flow, single refueling volume, and cumulative refueling volume. The refueling flow meter 22 communicates with the main controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40, which is convenient for transmitting the flow data of the refueling flow meter 22 to the main controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40. It is convenient for the main controller 50 to analyze and summarize the refueling flow data and grasp the refueling situation of the refueling vehicle 1. Because these parameters of the refueling flow meter 22 are generally displayed on the refueling flow meter 22, the refueling personnel can obtain the data of the refueling flow meter 22 by directly looking at the refueling flow meter 22 at the refueling site, so it can be sent to the vehicle display screen 30 without passing through the vehicle gateway 40. In other embodiments, the parameters of the refueling flow meter 22 may also be transmitted to the vehicle display screen 30 via the vehicle gateway 40 and viewed on the vehicle display screen 30 .

[0029] The upper assembly 20 includes a hydraulic flow meter 23, and the vehicle-mounted gateway 40 is electrically connected to the hydraulic flow meter 23, and the hydraulic flow meter 23 communicates with the main controller 50 through the vehicle-mounted gateway 40. The hydraulic flow meter 23 is data reflecting the hydraulic flow in the hydraulic drive component during the refueling process, and the position of the hydraulic drive component can be obtained. For example, the lifting platform can adopt a hydraulic lifting platform, and the lifting height of the hydraulic lifting platform can be obtained through the hydraulic flow meter 23, and then the position of the hydraulic lifting platform can be obtained. The vehicle-mounted gateway 40 is electrically connected to the hydraulic flow meter 23, and the data of the hydraulic flow in the hydraulic drive component can be transmitted to the main controller 50 through the vehicle-mounted gateway 40.

[0030] The vehicle gateway 40 is electrically connected to the chassis 10, and the chassis 10 communicates with the master controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40. The chassis 10 includes various data for controlling the operation of the vehicle and reflecting the movement of the vehicle, such as engine speed, level voltage, vehicle speed, cumulative mileage, instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, etc. The vehicle gateway 40 is electrically connected to the chassis 10, which facilitates the transmission of important parameters of the chassis 10 to the master controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40, and facilitates the summary, analysis and storage of the operating parameters of the refueling truck 1, so as to early discover safety hazards in the operation of the vehicle.

[0031] Because these parameters of the chassis 10 are generally displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle cab, they may not be sent to the vehicle display screen 30 through the vehicle gateway 40. In other embodiments, the parameters of the chassis 10 may also be transmitted to the vehicle display screen 30 through the vehicle gateway 40 and viewed on the vehicle display screen 30.

[0032] Because the communication between various components in the chassis 10 of the vehicle is generally through CAN communication, the gateway generally only supports RS485 bus, RS232 bus and Ethernet for information transmission, and devices with different communication interfaces and communication protocols cannot communicate. In some embodiments, the refueling truck 1 includes a first protocol conversion module 60. The protocol conversion module is mainly used to convert data of different formats and structures from one communication protocol to another communication protocol to achieve data communication and interaction between different devices or systems. It can solve the problem of protocol incompatibility between different devices and systems and achieve seamless transmission and sharing of data. The on-board gateway 40 includes a chassis connection network port 43, which can be an RS485 interface, an RS232 interface or an Ethernet interface, and the chassis 10 includes a CAN interface.

[0033] One end of the first protocol conversion module 60 is electrically connected to the chassis connection network port 43 and the other end is electrically connected to the chassis 10 , and is used to complete the communication data format conversion between the communication interface of the chassis 10 and the chassis connection network port 43 of the vehicle gateway.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the refueling truck 1 includes a vehicle video recorder 70, the vehicle gateway 40 is electrically connected to the vehicle video recorder 70, and the vehicle video recorder 70 communicates with the main controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40. It is convenient to upload the image information recorded by the vehicle video recorder 70 to the controller and store the images during the vehicle driving process.

[0035] In some embodiments, the vehicle video recorder 70 is electrically connected to the vehicle display screen 30 for communicating with the vehicle display screen 30. Specifically, the vehicle video recorder 70 and the vehicle display screen 30 have an AVI interface, and the AVI interface is a communication interface specifically used to transmit video files.

[0036] In some embodiments, the refueling truck 1 includes an edge computing terminal 80, which is electrically connected to the on-board video recorder 70. The edge computing terminal 80 is used to identify and analyze the image information recorded by the on-board video recorder 70 to determine whether the refueling personnel have checked the refueling truck 1 in accordance with the requirements of the regulations before driving the refueling truck, such as checking the front of the vehicle to confirm that the lights are normal; checking the right side of the vehicle to confirm that the refueling platform and the platform refueling connector are reset; and checking the left side of the vehicle to confirm that the ground well connector, emergency pull rope, etc. are reset. The edge computing terminal 80 can identify the behavior of the refueling personnel who did not check the refueling truck 1 in accordance with the regulations or other illegal driving behaviors.

[0037] The vehicle gateway 40 is electrically connected to the edge computing terminal 80, and the edge computing terminal 80 communicates with the main controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40. The identification and analysis results are uploaded to the main controller 50 through the vehicle gateway 40.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the vehicle gateway 40 includes a command issuing network port 44, which is electrically connected to the vehicle display screen 30, and the vehicle display screen 30 communicates with the master controller 5050 through the gateway. Maintenance reminders set by the master controller 50, such as replacing the filter element, cleaning the recovery tank, etc., will be transmitted to the vehicle display screen 30 through the command issuing network port 44, and the refueling personnel can see the reminders and perform vehicle parts maintenance in time.

[0039] Because the vehicle gateway 40 supports RS485 bus, RS232 bus and Ethernet for information transmission, the vehicle display screen 30 supports CAN communication, RS232 bus communication and Ethernet communication, but does not support RS485 bus communication. If the vehicle gateway 40 needs to transmit information to the vehicle display screen 30 via RS485 bus, because the vehicle display screen 30 does not support RS485 bus communication, the vehicle gateway 40 will not receive the maintenance reminder instruction.

[0040] The refueling vehicle 1 also includes a second protocol conversion module 61, which is mainly used to convert data of different formats and structures from one communication protocol to another communication protocol to achieve data communication and interaction between different devices or systems. It can solve the problem of protocol incompatibility between different devices and systems and achieve seamless transmission and sharing of data. One end of the second protocol conversion module 61 is electrically connected to the instruction issuing network port 44, and the other end is electrically connected to the vehicle display screen 30, so as to complete the communication data format conversion between the instruction issuing network port 44 and the vehicle display screen 30.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the vehicle-mounted gateway 40 in the refueling truck 1 and the equipment and the main controller 50 in the refueling truck 1 as shown in another embodiment. Figure 3 The embodiment shown is Figure 2 The embodiments shown are basically the same. The difference is that Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the first protocol conversion module 60 and the second protocol conversion module 61 are integrated into a protocol converter 63, and one protocol converter 63 is used to simultaneously complete the communication data format conversion between the communication interface of the chassis 10 and the chassis connection network port 43 of the vehicle gateway, and to complete the communication data format conversion between the instruction issuing network port 44 and the vehicle display screen 30.
