[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] Currently, vehicle health status information such as battery power, fuel tank condition, tire pressure, brake system condition, etc. are all concentrated in the driver's seat instrument and HUD system inside the vehicle. The vehicle's health status can only be observed inside the vehicle. However, against the backdrop of the rapid development of autonomous driving, it will be extremely convenient for users to know the vehicle's health status at a glance outside the vehicle, which is very necessary.
[0025] Therefore, refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a vehicle health status interaction device, including: a sensor unit, a controller unit and a display unit.
[0026] The sensor unit includes: vehicle sensors installed in various parts of the vehicle, such as a power sensor for detecting battery power, a tire pressure sensor, a level sensor for detecting the amount of oil in the tank, a brake system sensor, etc. Each vehicle sensor is connected to the sensor interface of the controller unit.
[0027] The controller unit can be integrated into the vehicle using the commonly used ECU (electronic control unit) on the vehicle, and communicate with various vehicle sensors through the CAN bus, so that the sensor information such as battery power, remaining fuel, tire pressure, brake system status, etc. can be obtained in real time after the vehicle is powered on. The obtained sensor information can be comprehensively scored according to the existing health scoring methods or methods to obtain bar charts, column charts, etc. that represent the current health status score of the vehicle.
[0028] The display unit is arranged on the outer body of the vehicle, and the display unit is connected to the light control interface of the controller unit. The controller unit displays the generated bar graph and other graphics representing the vehicle health status score on the display unit, so that the user can intuitively know the health status of the vehicle outside the vehicle, thereby improving the user experience and achieving the purpose of improving the safety factor of the vehicle.
[0029] As a feasible implementation method of the above embodiment, in order to achieve a better display effect, refer to Figure 2The display unit shown includes: at least one LED display screen, each LED display screen includes a preset number of regularly arranged LED lamp beads, each LED lamp bead includes at least three color switches, and an LED driver connected to the LED display screen, the LED driver input port is connected to the light control interface of the controller unit, and the LED driver output port is connected to at least one LED display screen.
[0030] In a specific implementation, the LED display screen can be embedded in the vehicle, with one LED display screen being provided on both sides of the vehicle's B-pillar. Of course, considering the manufacturing cost of the vehicle, one or more LED display screens can be provided, and there is no limitation here.
[0031] The lamp beads on the LED display can use sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes, that is, MiniLED is a new screen display technology, which refers to LED chips with a size between 50-200 microns, between small-pitch LED and MicroLED, also called sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes, and the pixel array composed of Mini LED has a unit with a pixel center spacing of 0.3-1.5mm. It can directly display RGB LED lamp beads directly as pixels for display. As a small-pitch display, it can improve reliability and pixel density, make dimming partitions more refined, achieve high contrast, HDR, and more realistic color reproduction, while achieving low power consumption, lightness, and high reliability.
[0032] In actual use, the size of the LED display screen composed of sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes ranges from tens of square centimeters to one hundred square centimeters, and can be adjusted and displayed in a variety of colors.
[0033] Its specific shape refers to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be in a variety of shapes such as long strips and circles, and can be selected according to needs in actual use.
[0034] The final display effect can be referred to Figure 3 As shown, taking the long strip LED display screen as an example, when the vehicle health status score obtained by the controller unit is very high, such as above 90, all 7 or 8 bars will be lit from bottom to top, and their color will be green, indicating that the current vehicle is very healthy. When the score is between 60 and 90, 5 or 6 bars will be lit from bottom to top, and their color will be yellow, indicating that the current vehicle is in a sub-healthy state. When the score is 60 or even lower, 2 or 3 bars will be lit from bottom to top, and their color will be red, indicating that the current vehicle is in an unhealthy state. This allows users to more intuitively feel the health status of the current vehicle and perform vehicle maintenance in a timely manner.
[0035] During specific use, the flashing frequency and brightness of the LED lights can be combined to provide more obvious prompts. For example, when the vehicle is currently in an unhealthy state, 2 or 3 bars are lit at the same time, and a more obvious display is provided in the form of flashing and high brightness.
[0036] Analogy reference Figure 4 As shown, taking the circular LED display screen as an example, when the controller unit obtains a high score for the vehicle's health status, such as above 90, all the outermost rings will be lit up, and their color will be green, indicating that the current vehicle is very healthy. When the score is between 60 and 90, only the middle ring will be lit up, and its color will be yellow, indicating that the current vehicle is in a sub-healthy state. When the score is 60 or even lower, the smallest ring will be lit up, and its color will be red, indicating that the current vehicle is in an unhealthy state. It can also be displayed in combination with flashing and brightness, which will not be repeated here.
[0037] In a specific implementation, when a sensor with a problem is determined, a bar graph of a corresponding shape, such as a battery-shaped bar graph, a fuel tank-shaped bar graph, etc., can be displayed on the LED display screen for a more intuitive display.
[0038] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can adjust the effects displayed by the LED screen according to the needs of actual applications, which will not be elaborated here.
[0039] In some other specific embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle health status interactive transposition also includes: a display switching unit, and the display switching unit and the controller unit are connected by wire or wirelessly.
[0040] For example, when the display switching unit is a vehicle remote control key, it can be connected to the controller unit via Bluetooth wireless, and when the display switching unit is a central control unit on the vehicle, such as a virtual button in the central control screen, it can be connected via a CAN bus, etc. The display switching unit can be used to switch the display content of the LED display screen, such as switching to view different sensor states and viewing the overall score state.
[0041] The controller unit can also send the vehicle health data to the mobile phones or other devices of the owner and other legal users through wireless communication, so that the owner can understand the health status of the vehicle anytime and anywhere. In addition, it can also be linked with the vehicle's navigation system or other information systems to provide more comprehensive and detailed vehicle health status information.
[0042] An embodiment of the utility model further provides a vehicle, which may include: the vehicle health status interaction device as described in the above embodiment.
