[0031] The present utility model discloses a vehicle wading prompt device. The vehicle wading prompt device includes a detection component, a controller, and a server. The detection component is installed at the bottom of the vehicle and is used to detect and generate a water level signal; the controller is arranged inside the vehicle, and the controller is communicatively connected to the detection component; the server is communicatively connected to the controller, and the controller is used to feedback wading information to the server when receiving the water level signal; the server is used to send a prompt message to the user terminal when receiving the wading information.

[0032] In one embodiment, the detection component can be installed at the bottom of the vehicle chassis, and the detection component is a water level sensor. When the accumulated water submerges the detection component, the detection component conducts, thereby generating a water level signal. Among them, the water level signal can be, for example, a high-level signal lamp, and the water level signal is sent to the controller.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the controller can be the vehicle's central control system, and the signal transceiver is realized through an in-vehicle processor. When the controller receives the water level signal transmitted by the detection component, the controller feeds it back to the server.

[0034] Among them, the server can adopt a cloud server. The controller can realize signal conversion through devices such as an ECU and a T-BOX, and is sent to the server by means of wireless transmission. The server sends the prompt message to the user terminal by means of wireless transmission.

[0035] The prompt message includes a text prompt and a voice prompt, and the server is used to send the text prompt and the voice prompt to the user terminal. That is, the server can be transmitted to the user terminal by means of text message or phone call. The user terminal is usually an intelligent device with communication functions such as a smart phone and a mobile tablet.

[0036] It can be understood that the signals in the above process are all level signals or trigger signals, and the signal conversion performed by the controller is all conventional technical means, which will not be elaborated here.

[0037] When the vehicle is in the off state, the detection component installed at the vehicle chassis can be used to detect the water level height under the vehicle, and the ECU internally processes the water level signal of the detection component. By presetting the height of the detection component to obtain the water level height, information such as the water level height is remotely sent to the user terminal through the T-BOX, thereby reminding the vehicle owner that there is water accumulation at the parking place and the vehicle has the risk of water ingress, and it is necessary to move the vehicle as soon as possible. Through this system, it is possible to prevent the vehicle from getting water in the parked state and avoid property losses.

[0038] In one embodiment, the vehicle wading prompt device further includes a vehicle speed detector, and the vehicle speed detector is communicatively connected to the controller; the vehicle speed detector is used to detect vehicle speed information, and the controller is further used to control the vehicle's hazard lights to turn on when receiving the water level signal and the vehicle speed information is greater than 0.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 , the vehicle speed detector can use the ABS to achieve vehicle speed detection, and through the vehicle speed detector, it can be detected whether the vehicle is in a driving state. When the vehicle is driving and passes through a waterlogged road surface, the detection component installed at the vehicle chassis sends the detected water level signal to the controller. The controller then controls the vehicle's hazard lights to turn on, thereby prompting the vehicles in front and behind to pay attention to safety and avoiding traffic accidents when driving through the waterlogged section.

[0040] In one embodiment, the controller is further used to display the prompt information on the vehicle's instrument panel when receiving the water level signal and the vehicle speed information is greater than 0.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, when the water level signal is detected, the controller directly displays it on the instrument panel, which is convenient for the driver to observe whether the vehicle has waded through water. For example, it can be displayed on the instrument panel in text form, or the driver can be prompted by voice broadcast. When there is a wading situation, the driver is simultaneously prompted with the water level height information for the driver to judge the road conditions and respond in a timely manner to the situation during driving.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the vehicle wading prompt device further includes a power controller, and the power controller is communicatively connected to the vehicle speed detector and the controller respectively; the power controller is further used to control the vehicle speed to be reduced to a preset vehicle speed when receiving the water level signal and the vehicle speed information is greater than 0.

[0043] When the vehicle is in a driving state and the detection component detects a water level signal, the controller will send it to the power controller. After receiving the water level signal, the power controller can reduce the power output of the vehicle to slow down the vehicle, avoiding safety accidents such as stalling caused by splashing water entering the vehicle due to too high a vehicle speed, and ensuring that the vehicle can safely drive out of the waterlogged section.

[0044] In one embodiment, the vehicle wading prompt device further includes a position detector arranged on the vehicle for detecting the position information of the vehicle; the server is further configured to receive a positioning request sent by the user terminal and send the positioning request to the controller; the controller is further configured to send the position information to the server according to the positioning request, and the server forwards the position information to the user terminal.

[0045] The position detector can adopt a GPS positioning system to obtain the position of the vehicle on the map in real time. When the user is looking for the vehicle, the user can send a positioning request to the server, and the server can call the position information of the vehicle and send it to the user terminal, so as to help the user find the vehicle position as soon as possible when the vehicle may be at risk of being flooded.

[0046] In one embodiment, the server is further configured to receive a control request sent by the user terminal and send the control request to the controller; the controller is further configured to turn on the hazard lights of the vehicle according to the control request.

[0047] To improve the efficiency of finding the vehicle, the user can also remotely turn on the hazard lights of the vehicle through a control request to improve the recognition of the vehicle and help the user find the vehicle. At the same time, when the vehicle receives the water level signal, it can also automatically turn on the hazard lights.

[0048] In one embodiment, the detection component includes a power supply and a sensor, the power supply is arranged inside the vehicle; the sensor is arranged at the bottom of the vehicle, and the sensor is connected to the power supply.

[0049] The sensor and the power supply are set to have constant power, that is, the sensor is kept powered on. The sensor is a water level sensor. When there is no water, the sensor is in a non-working state. When the water submerges the sensor, a closed circuit is formed in the sensor by the water, thereby triggering the generation of a water level signal and sending it to the controller.

[0050] The detection component further includes an adjusting member arranged at the bottom of the vehicle, the sensor is arranged on the adjusting member, and the adjusting member is used to adjust the height position of the sensor.

[0051] In order to adapt to various models of vehicles, adjusting components can be used to adjust the installation position of the sensor, so as to meet the compatibility of the assembly space, be applicable to various models of vehicles, reduce the development cost of equipment molds, and improve the product competitiveness.

[0052] In addition, to solve the above problems, the present invention also proposes a vehicle, which is equipped with the vehicle wading prompt device as described above. The detection component can be installed at the bottom of the vehicle chassis. The detection component is a water level sensor. When the accumulated water submerges the detection component, the detection component conducts, thereby generating a water level signal. Among them, the water level signal can be, for example, a high-level signal lamp, and the water level signal is sent to the controller.

[0053] In this embodiment, the controller can be the vehicle's central control system, and the signal reception and transmission are realized through the vehicle-mounted processor. When the controller receives the water level signal transmitted by the detection component, the controller feeds it back to the server.

[0054] Among them, the server can adopt a cloud server. The controller can realize signal conversion through devices such as ECU and T-BOX, and send it to the server by wireless transmission. The server sends the prompt information to the user terminal by wireless transmission.

[0055] The prompt information includes text prompt and voice prompt. The server is used to send the text prompt and the voice prompt to the user terminal. That is, the server can be transmitted to the user terminal by means of text message or phone call. The user terminal is usually an intelligent device with communication functions such as a smart phone and a mobile tablet.

[0056] It can be understood that the signals in the above process are all level signals or trigger signals, and the signal conversion performed by the controller is all conventional technical means, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] When the vehicle is in the off state, the height of the water level below the vehicle can be detected by the detection component installed at the vehicle chassis. The ECU internally processes the water level signal of the detection component. By presetting the height of the detection component to obtain the height of the water level, information such as the water level height is remotely sent to the user terminal through the T-BOX, thereby reminding the vehicle owner that there is accumulated water at the parking place and the vehicle has the risk of water ingress, and the vehicle needs to be moved as soon as possible. Through this system, it is possible to avoid the vehicle from getting water in the parking state and avoid property losses.
