Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water sprinkling control and provides a water sprinkling system and a sanitation vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As the national and local governments have vigorously promoted the intelligence of municipal sanitation in recent years, the large-scale commissioning of intelligent sanitation vehicles has become a trend. In order to effectively meet the functional requirements of intelligent sprinklers and unmanned sanitation vehicles, intelligent sprinkler technology will inevitably become one of the technologies for popularizing sanitation vehicles.

[0003] Sprinkler trucks and other watering vehicles belong to the category of watering vehicles. They drive the water pump through the power take-off, and then through the pipes and the high-pressure nozzles on the left and right sides, they can achieve the function of high-pressure cleaning and watering on the ground while moving. When operating in urban areas, sprinkler trucks often need to wait for traffic lights. While waiting for traffic lights, the sprinkler mechanism keeps spraying water in the same place, which will lead to a waste of water resources.

[0004] Application number: 2017100883662, the patent name is "An unmanned sprinkler truck and a sprinkler method". The technical solution recorded in the patent cannot improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a watering system, aiming to improve the above problems.

[0006] The utility model is implemented as follows: a sprinkler system, the system comprising:

[0007] A first visual sensor installed in front of the vehicle, the first visual sensor is communicatively connected to the upper body controller, and the upper body controller is communicatively connected to the sprinkler mechanism;

[0008] The first visual sensor collects the traffic light image in front of the road. When the traffic light in the lane where the vehicle is located is red and the vehicle is stationary, the upper controller controls the sprinkler mechanism to stop sprinkling water.

[0009] Furthermore, the watering mechanism includes a first watering mechanism and a second watering mechanism distributed on both sides of the vehicle.

[0010] Furthermore, the sprinkler system also includes:

[0011] A second visual sensor and a third visual sensor are arranged on both sides of the vehicle, and the second visual sensor and the third visual sensor are communicatively connected with the upper body controller;

[0012] When the second visual sensor or the third visual sensor detects that there are pedestrians in the watering area of ​​the first sprinkler mechanism or the second sprinkler mechanism, the sprinkler mechanism on the corresponding side is controlled to stop watering, or the first sprinkler mechanism and the second sprinkler mechanism are controlled to stop watering.

[0013] Furthermore, the watering area of ​​the first watering mechanism and the watering area of ​​the second watering mechanism are respectively arranged in the middle of the detection areas of the second visual sensor and the third visual sensor.

[0014] Furthermore, two second visual sensors and two third visual sensors are arranged on both sides of the vehicle, and the first sprinkler mechanism and the second sprinkler mechanism are respectively located in the middle of the two second visual sensors and the two third visual sensors.

[0015] Furthermore, the sprinkler system comprises:

[0016] The automatic braking system AEB installed on the vehicle is connected to the upper body controller for communication. When the automatic braking system AEB is triggered, the upper body controller controls the sprinkler mechanism to stop sprinkling water.

[0017] The utility model is realized in this way: a sanitation vehicle is integrated with the above-mentioned sprinkler system.

[0018] When the utility model detects that a vehicle is waiting for a red light, in order to avoid wasting water resources by sprinkling water in the same place for too long, the upper controller controls the sprinkler mechanism to stop sprinkling water until the vehicle is driven again, and then controls the sprinkler mechanism to continue sprinkling water; in addition, when pedestrians are detected in the sprinkling area, in order to avoid sprinkling water on the pedestrians, the corresponding sprinkler mechanism is controlled to stop sprinkling water. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a sprinkler system provided by an embodiment of the utility model;

[0020] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the arrangement of a sprinkler mechanism provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention;

[0021] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of the sprinkler mechanism provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The specific implementation methods of the present utility model will be further explained in detail below by describing the optimal embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the sprinkler system provided by the embodiment of the utility model, for the convenience of description, only shows the part related to the embodiment of the utility model, the sprinkler system includes:

[0024] A first visual sensor installed in front of the vehicle, the first visual sensor being in communication connection with the upper body controller;

[0025] The upper mounted controller is in communication connection with the sprinkler mechanism;

[0026] The first visual sensor collects the image of the traffic light in front of the road. When the light in the lane where the vehicle is located is red and the vehicle is stationary, the upper controller controls the sprinkler mechanism to stop sprinkling water. At this time, the vehicle is waiting for the red light. The vehicle may stay in this place for tens of seconds or even more than a minute. In order to avoid wasting water resources due to sprinkling water in the same place for too long, at this time, the upper controller controls the sprinkler mechanism to stop sprinkling water until the vehicle is driven again, and then controls the sprinkler mechanism to continue sprinkling water.

[0027] In an embodiment of the utility model, the sprinkler mechanisms of the sprinkler system are distributed on the left and right sides of the vehicle, which are called the first sprinkler mechanism and the second sprinkler mechanism. The upper-mounted controller controls the first sprinkler mechanism and the second sprinkler mechanism. When the vehicle is driving, the first sprinkler mechanism and the second sprinkler mechanism are controlled simultaneously to sprinkle water, so as to improve the sprinkler efficiency.

[0028] In an embodiment of the utility model, the sprinkler system further comprises:

[0029] A second visual sensor is arranged on the left side of the vehicle, and a third visual sensor is arranged on the right side of the vehicle, the second visual sensor and the third visual sensor are communicatively connected with the upper body controller;

[0030] The second visual sensor is used to detect whether there are pedestrians in the watering area of ​​the first sprinkler mechanism, and the third visual sensor is used to detect whether there are pedestrians in the watering area of ​​the second sprinkler mechanism. When pedestrians are detected in the watering area of ​​the first sprinkler mechanism or the watering area of ​​the second sprinkler mechanism, the first sprinkler mechanism and the second sprinkler mechanism can be synchronously controlled to stop watering for ease of control. Of course, in order to maximize the sprinkler efficiency, only the sprinkler mechanism on the side of the sprinkler area where there are pedestrians can be controlled to stop watering. After the pedestrians walk out of the corresponding sprinkler area, the corresponding sprinkler mechanism can be controlled to continue the sprinkler operation.

[0031] In the embodiment of the utility model, the watering area of ​​the first watering mechanism is set in the middle of the detection area of ​​the second visual sensor, and the watering area of ​​the second watering mechanism is set in the middle of the detection area of ​​the third visual sensor, so that pedestrians in the watering area can be monitored to the maximum extent. Figure 2 shown.

[0032] In the embodiment of the utility model, two second visual sensors are arranged on the left side of the vehicle, and two third visual sensors are arranged on the right side of the vehicle. The first sprinkler mechanism is located between the two second visual sensors, and the second sprinkler mechanism is located between the two third visual sensors. At this time, the first sprinkler mechanism is located in the detection area of ​​the two second visual sensors, and the second sprinkler mechanism is located in the detection area of ​​the two third visual sensors, so as to reduce the probability of missing pedestrian detection. Figure 3 shown.

[0033] In an embodiment of the utility model, the system further includes: an automatic braking system AEB provided on the vehicle, which is in communication connection with the upper-mounted controller, and when the automatic braking system AEB is triggered, the upper-mounted controller controls the sprinkler mechanism to stop sprinkling water.

[0034] The utility model has been described exemplarily. Obviously, the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
