[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the embodiments of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the embodiments of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0030] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a posture change or a motion state change, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0031] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a safety protection system and a vehicle, wherein the safety protection system can take remedial measures in time before the vehicle is flooded to avoid losses caused by waterlogging of the vehicle.

[0032] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a safety protection system, which is applied to a vehicle 8. The safety protection system includes: a first laser radar 1, a control device 2 and a lifting mechanism 3.

[0033] The first laser radar 1 is disposed on at least one side of the vehicle 8 , and is used to scan the water level at the location of the vehicle 8 .

[0034] The control device 2 is disposed on the vehicle 8 , and the control device 2 is electrically connected to the first laser radar 1 .

[0035] The lifting mechanism 3 is disposed at the bottom of the vehicle 8 , and the lifting mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the control device 2 .

[0036] When the water level scanned by the first laser radar 1 reaches a first threshold, the control device 2 controls the lifting mechanism 3 to operate so that the lifting mechanism 3 lifts the vehicle 8 .

[0037] In the present application, the water level at the location of the vehicle 8 is scanned by the first laser radar 1, and the water level information is sent to the control device 2. When the water level reaches the first threshold, the control device 2 controls the lifting mechanism 3 to lift the vehicle 8 to a certain height. Remedial measures can be taken in time before the vehicle 8 is flooded to avoid losses caused by the vehicle 8 being soaked in water.

[0038] In the related art, when the vehicle 8 is flooded, the owner must rush to the location of the vehicle 8 in time. If the owner fails to rush to the location of the vehicle 8 in time and move the vehicle 8, the vehicle 8 is easily damaged by water bubbles. Moreover, there is a certain danger in rushing to the location of the vehicle 8 when the vehicle 8 is flooded. In the embodiment of the present application, the water level at the location of the vehicle 8 can be monitored by the first laser radar 1. When the water level rises to the first threshold, the lifting mechanism 3 can be triggered to work. The lifting mechanism 3 raises the vehicle 8 to a certain height, thereby avoiding the situation where the vehicle 8 is damaged by water bubbles to a certain extent.

[0039] Specifically, the safety protection system is electrically connected to the power supply of the vehicle 8, and the safety protection system is powered by the power supply of the vehicle 8. The first laser radar 1 performs a scan once every period of time, and the scanning time interval may be 30 minutes. If it is found that the water level height changes, that is, when the water level is in a rising state, the scanning frequency is increased, and the scanning frequency may be 10 seconds / time.

[0040] like Figure 5-7 As shown, specifically, the first laser radar 1 includes a transceiver 11, a beam splitter 12, a first reflector assembly 13, and a second reflector assembly 14. The laser beam emitted by the transceiver 11 is shaped by the beam splitter and irradiated onto the first reflector assembly 13. The first reflector assembly 13 rotates around its own axis to form a linear scanning beam. The linear scanning beam irradiates the second reflector assembly 14. The second reflector assembly 14 rotates around its own axis to form a planar scanning beam. The planar scanning beam scans the object a, and the reflected beam returns to the transceiver along the original path, thereby obtaining information about the object a. The object a is a water surface or other objects.

[0041] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a plurality of jacks 31 , and the plurality of jacks 31 are arranged in a matrix on the bottom of the vehicle 8 , specifically, on the chassis of the vehicle 8 .

[0042] In the present application, the jack 31 can be an electric hydraulic jack 31, which can be a hydraulic system of the vehicle 8 or a self-provided hydraulic system, which not only has a more sensitive response force, but also can lift heavier weights. By setting a plurality of jacks 31 on the bottom of the vehicle 8, and arranging the plurality of jacks 31 in a matrix, the stability of the vehicle 8 when it is lifted is ensured. The plurality of jacks 31 can be two or four, and are set at the bottom of the vehicle 8 to ensure the stability of the vehicle 8 when it is lifted.

[0043] If the area where the vehicle 8 is parked is a slope structure, the vehicle 8 is prone to tipping over after being lifted by the jack 31 , thereby damaging the lifting mechanism 3 or the vehicle 8 .

[0044] In order to solve the above problem, the present application provides the following embodiment: a suction member 32 is provided at the bottom of the jack 31 for adsorbing the ground.

[0045] In the present application, by setting a suction member 32 at the bottom of the jack 31, the suction member 32 can be a vacuum suction cup, so that the suction member 32 can absorb the ground when performing the suction action, so that the vehicle 8 can firmly grasp the ground, further improving safety. After the danger is eliminated, that is, after the water level drops, the jack 31 is reset, so that the suction member 32 is separated from the ground.

[0046] On some uneven ground, although the adsorption member 32 cannot effectively play the role of vacuum adsorption, it can also increase the contact area with the ground, thereby improving the stability of the support.

[0047] Specifically, when the suction piece 32 at the bottom of one or more jacks 31 abuts against a protruding object, in order to prevent the vehicle 8 from tilting, the multiple jacks 31 are connected to the same hydraulic system, so that the final bearing pressure of the multiple jacks 31 is the same. Even if the ground is uneven, the forces on the multiple jacks 31 can be ensured to be the same, thereby ensuring that the vehicle 8 is in a horizontal position.

[0048] In some embodiments, the safety protection system includes a sending module 4 electrically connected to the control device 2, and the sending module 4 is communicatively connected to the vehicle owner's mobile terminal 5; wherein, when the water level scanned by the first laser radar 1 reaches a second threshold, the control device 2 sends an alarm message to the mobile terminal 5 through the sending module 4, and the second threshold is less than the first threshold.

[0049] In the present application, when the scanned water level rises to the second threshold, the control device 2 first sends an alarm message to the vehicle owner's mobile terminal 5 through the sending module 4, so that the vehicle owner can know the situation of the vehicle 8 in time, so that the vehicle owner can rush to the location of the vehicle 8 to move the vehicle. If the vehicle cannot be moved and the water level continues to rise to the first threshold, the control device 2 triggers the lifting mechanism 3 to lift the vehicle 8.

[0050] Specifically, the first threshold is one half of the tire of the vehicle 8, and the second threshold is one third of the tire of the vehicle 8.

[0051] In some embodiments, the safety protection system includes a receiving module 6 electrically connected to the control device 2, and the receiving module 6 is used to receive instructions issued by the mobile terminal 5; when the receiving module 6 receives the instructions from the mobile terminal 5, the automatic driving mode of the vehicle 8 is triggered through the control device 2, so that the vehicle 8 automatically drives to a safe area.

[0052] In this application, when the sending module 4 sends the water level information of the location of the vehicle 8 to the owner's mobile terminal 5, the owner can send instructions through the mobile terminal 5. After the receiving module 6 receives the instructions, the automatic driving mode of the vehicle 8 can be started through the control device 2, so that the vehicle 8 automatically drives to a safe area. The owner can also choose not to send instructions or send instructions not to start the automatic driving mode, and directly lift the vehicle 8 when the water level reaches the first threshold. Of course, for some vehicles 8 that do not have automatic driving functions, it is sufficient to only issue an alarm and lift the vehicle 8.

[0053] In some embodiments, the safety protection system includes a second laser radar 7 arranged on the top of the vehicle 8, the second laser radar 7 is electrically connected to the control device 2, and the second laser radar 7 is used to scan the space above the vehicle 8; when the upper space scanned by the second laser radar 7 is greater than the third threshold and the water level scanned by the first laser radar 1 reaches the first threshold, the control device 2 controls the lifting mechanism 3 to operate.

[0054] In the present application, the space above the vehicle 8 can be scanned by the second laser radar 7, mainly scanning the height of the space above the vehicle 8. When there is an obstacle above the vehicle 8, for example, the vehicle 8 is located in an underground garage. The lifting of the vehicle 8 cannot be started. Only when there is a large safe space above the vehicle 8 and the water level reaches the first threshold, the lifting mechanism 3 will be started to lift the vehicle 8. This can avoid the situation where the roof of the vehicle 8 is damaged by directly lifting the vehicle 8, further improving safety.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first laser radar 1 is disposed on a fixed shaft 82 of the vehicle 8 for fixing the wheel hub 81 .

[0056] Specifically, a mounting groove is provided at the end of the fixed shaft 82 , and the first laser radar 1 is installed in the mounting groove of the fixed shaft 82 , which not only ensures the stability of the installation of the first laser radar 1 , but also does not affect the appearance of the vehicle 8 .

[0057] Optionally, the first laser radar 1 can also be installed on the door or frame of the vehicle 8 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the first laser radar 1 is used to scan objects outside the vehicle 8 and generate distance information between the object and the wheel hub 81. The control device 2 is electrically connected to the reminder module 83 of the vehicle 8 to send the distance information between the object and the wheel hub 81 to the reminder module 83.

[0059] In the present application, when parking sideways, the first laser radar 1 can also scan roadside objects (such as curbs), generate distance information between the wheel hub 81 and the object through the control device 2, and send the distance information to the reminder module 83. The reminder module 83 of the vehicle 8 assists the owner in performing sideways parking, making it convenient for users to perform sideways parking and avoiding wear and scratches on the tires when parking.

[0060] In some embodiments, the reminder module 83 is a display screen for displaying image information between the object and the wheel hub 81 ; and / or, the reminder module 83 is a voice module for broadcasting distance information between the object and the wheel hub 81 .

[0061] In the present application, the reminder module 83 can be a display screen. The data scanned by the first laser radar 1 is digitally annotated and modeled into a 3D graph, which is displayed on the display screen of the vehicle 8. The display screen displays the distance between the tire and the nearest object on the edge of the road to assist the owner in parking. The reminder module 83 can also be a voice module, which emits sounds of different frequencies corresponding to the distance between the tire and the nearest object on the edge of the road. For example, the closer the distance between the tire and the nearest object on the edge of the road, the higher the frequency of the sound.

[0062] The safety protection system scans the water level at the location of the vehicle 8 through the first laser radar 1 and sends the water level information to the control device 2. When the water level reaches a first threshold, the control device 2 controls the lifting mechanism 3 to lift the vehicle 8 to a certain height. Remedial measures can be taken in time before the vehicle 8 is flooded to avoid losses caused by the vehicle 8 being soaked in water.
