Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile intelligent driving, and specifically provides an integrated intelligent driving perception equipped with a top protective cover. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent driving technology has become a cutting-edge technology for future transportation. Intelligent driving technology uses sensors such as radar, cameras, and lidar to perceive the vehicle's surroundings in real time, employing AI algorithms for decision-making and planning, and ultimately achieving autonomous driving through control technology. This technological advancement enables vehicles to more intelligently adapt to complex traffic environments, improving traffic safety, efficiency, and comfort. The perception module plays a crucial role in intelligent driving systems. It is responsible for collecting real-time information about the vehicle's surroundings, providing data support for subsequent decision-making and planning.

[0003] However, the following problems still exist: perception modules (such as lidar, cameras, etc.) are usually installed on the top or outside of the vehicle. In this case, a protective cover is required to protect the perception module. However, the transparent window on the protective cover is prone to dust and other impurities. Dust particles will block or scatter the laser beam emitted by the lidar, causing the received reflected signal to be weakened. This will affect the ranging accuracy and resolution of the lidar and reduce its ability to perceive the surrounding environment. Due to the obstruction of dust, the lidar may not be able to detect certain obstacles or targets, resulting in an increase in blind spots. This increases the safety risk of vehicle driving. The scattering effect of dust particles may cause the lidar to receive erroneous reflected signals, resulting in misidentification. For example, dust particles are identified as obstacles or other vehicles, thereby interfering with the decision-making and planning of the intelligent driving system. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] See also Figures 1 to 5 , an integrated intelligent driving perception equipped with a top protective cover, including a protective cover body 1, a transparent window 2 is provided at the front of the protective cover body 1, the front upper end of the protective cover body 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 3, the bottom of the fixing block 3 is provided with a groove 1 4, the interior of the fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to a driving mechanism, a slider 5 is threadedly connected to the driving mechanism, a groove 2 6 is provided at the lower end of the slider 5, a rotating shaft 1 7 and a rotating shaft 2 8 are rotatably connected in the groove 2 6, a cleaning mechanism is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1 7, and two mutually parallel rotating blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the cleaning mechanism, a rotating shaft 3 10 is rotatably connected between the two rotating blocks 9, and an extrusion component is fixedly connected between the rotating shaft 2 8 and the rotating shaft 3 10.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the integrated intelligent driving perception in the present invention is equipped with a top protective cover. When in use, the outer rod 15 is fixed on the rotating shaft 2 8, and the spring 17 presses the inner rod 18, so that the inner rod 18 applies pressure to the cleaning frame 13, so that the cleaning pad 14 on the cleaning frame 13 is in contact with the surface of the transparent window 2. When impurities such as dust particles adhere to the transparent window 2, the driver 11 is driven, and the driver 11 causes the threaded rod 12 to rotate, so that the slider 5 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 12 moves along the surface of the transparent window 2. The movement of the slider 5 drives the movement of the cleaning frame 13 and the cleaning pad 14, so that the cleaning pad 14 can touch the transparent window 2. The dust particles and other impurities on the surface of the window 2 are cleaned. When the cleaning pad 14 needs to be replaced, the cleaning frame 13 can be pulled outward to rotate the cleaning frame 13 outward around the rotating shaft 1 7. The inclination angle of the extrusion assembly will also change accordingly. The inner rod 18 is subjected to pressure and moves toward the inside of the sliding cavity 16. The spring 17 is compressed and stores energy. The front end of the inner rod 18 rotates with the rotating shaft 3 10, and the outer rod 15 rotates with the rotating shaft 2 8. After replacing the new cleaning pad 14, the cleaning frame 13 is released. The spring 17 releases energy, pushing the cleaning frame 13 to move toward the surface of the transparent window 2, and making the cleaning pad 14 close to the transparent window 2.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a driver 11 fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed block 3, the output end of the driver 11 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 12, the threaded rod 12 is rotationally connected to the fixed block 3, and the slider 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 12.

[0022] Specifically, the driver 11 is driven, and the driver 11 causes the threaded rod 12 to rotate, so that the slider 5 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 12 moves along the surface of the transparent window 2. The movement of the slider 5 drives the movement of the cleaning frame 13 and the cleaning pad 14, so that the cleaning pad 14 can clean dust particles and other impurities on the surface of the transparent window 2.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the driver 11 is a forward and reverse motor.

[0024] Specifically, the forward and reverse rotation motors can make the slider 5 reciprocate along the surface of the transparent window 2 , so that the cleaning pad 14 also reciprocates along the surface of the transparent window 2 to clean it.

[0025] like Figure 3 or Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning frame 13 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7, and a cleaning pad 14 is adhered to the inner wall of the cleaning frame 13 through Velcro. The size of the cleaning pad 14 is adapted to the size of the cleaning frame 13.

[0026] Specifically, the cleaning pad 14 moves with the cleaning rack 13, and the cleaning pad 14 is attached to the surface of the transparent window 2. Long-term use will cause damage to the cleaning pad 14. The cleaning pad 14 is connected to the cleaning rack 13 by Velcro, so that when the cleaning pad 14 has poor cleaning effect or is damaged, the cleaning pad 14 can be easily replaced.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the extrusion assembly includes an outer rod 15 fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 8, a sliding cavity 16 is defined in the outer rod 15, a spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity 16, an output end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner rod 18, the inner rod 18 is slidably connected in the sliding cavity 16, and the front end of the inner rod 18 is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 10.

[0028] Specifically, when the cleaning pad 14 needs to be replaced, the cleaning frame 13 can be pulled outward so that the cleaning frame 13 rotates outward around the rotating shaft 1 7, and the inclination angle of the extrusion assembly will also change accordingly. The inner rod 18 is subjected to pressure and moves toward the inside of the sliding cavity 16. The spring 17 is compressed and stores energy. The front end of the inner rod 18 rotates with the rotating shaft 3 10, and the outer rod 15 rotates with the rotating shaft 2 8. After replacing the new cleaning pad 14, the cleaning frame 13 is released, and the spring 17 releases energy, pushing the cleaning frame 13 toward the surface of the transparent window 2, and making the cleaning pad 14 close to the transparent window 2.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
