[0034] The dump truck further includes a plurality of sensing modules 2 provided on the dump truck body 1, the plurality of sensing modules 2 including a roof sensing module 2A, a left side sensing module 2B, a right side sensing module 2C, a forward sensing module 2D, and a backward sensing module 2E, each sensing module 2 being provided with a radar device 21 and a camera device 22;

[0035] The roof sensing module 2A is arranged on the top of the front of the vehicle 11. The roof sensing module 2A can rotate relative to the front of the vehicle 11. The roof sensing module 2A is used to detect and identify the environment in front, behind, left and right of the dump truck body 1;

[0036] The left-hand sensing module 2B and the right-hand sensing module 2C are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the vehicle head 11 (specifically, they can be arranged on the left and right sides of the front of the vehicle head 11). The left-hand sensing module 2B and the right-hand sensing module 2C are respectively used to detect and identify the environment on the left and right sides of the dump truck body 1;

[0037] The forward sensing module 2D is provided at the front of the vehicle head 11 and is used to detect and identify the environment in front of the dump truck body 1;

Simultaneously, by providing a left-side sensing module 2B, a right-side sensing module 2C, a forward sensing module 2D, and a rearward sensing module 2E, the left, right, front, and rear environments of the dump truck body 1 can be detected and identified, respectively, thereby compensating for and enhancing the field of view of the roof sensing module 2A. By providing a roof sensing module 2A with a dynamically adjustable angle, the field of view direction is automatically adjusted under different driving conditions, and by providing the left-side sensing module 2B, the right-side sensing module 2C, the forward sensing module 2D, and the rearward sensing module 2E for auxiliary purposes, the blind spots of the field of view of the sensing module 2 are reduced or eliminated, the reliability of the sensing module 2 is improved, and the driving safety of the dump truck is thereby improved.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the roof sensing module 2A can rotate 360° in the horizontal direction relative to the front of the vehicle 11, so that the roof sensing module 2A can detect and identify the environment in front, behind, left and right of the dump truck body 1.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dump truck further includes a rotation drive device (not shown), which is disposed on the front of the vehicle 11 and connected to the roof sensing module 2A. The rotation drive device is configured to drive the roof sensing module 2A to rotate relative to the front of the vehicle 11. The rotation drive device may be, for example, a rotation drive motor.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the camera device 22 in the left-side perception module 2B can rotate relative to the front of the vehicle 11, and the camera device 22 in the right-side perception module 2C can rotate relative to the front of the vehicle 11, thereby expanding the viewing angle range of the camera device 22 and reducing the lateral viewing blind spot.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the radar device 21 in the roof sensing module 2A includes a first Doppler lidar 211 and a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar 212.

The farthest detection distance of the first Doppler lidar 211 and the frequency-modulated continuous wave radar 212 is about 150 meters, and the horizontal field of view angle of the first Doppler lidar 211 and the frequency-modulated continuous wave radar 212 is about 120°.

[0044] The camera 22 in the roof sensing module 2A includes a first infrared camera 221. The first infrared camera 221 can detect obstacles in low visibility (for example, at night, in rainy and foggy weather). The horizontal field of view angle of the first infrared camera 221 is about 90°. Through rotation of the roof sensing module 2A, the horizontal field of view angle of the first infrared camera 221 can achieve 360° full coverage.

The first camera 223 and the second camera 224 can rotate relative to the vehicle head 11 (specifically, the first camera 223 and the second camera 224 can be rotating cameras, that is, they have a rotating function; or a driving device can be additionally provided to drive the first camera 223 and the second camera 224 to rotate). The first camera 223 and the second camera 224 can capture image information of the side and part of the rear of the dump truck body 1, ensuring wide-angle visual sensing of the side of the vehicle body. The first camera 223 and the second camera 224 can be ordinary standard cameras, wide-angle cameras, infrared cameras, etc.

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the radar device 21 in the forward perception module 2D includes a second Doppler laser radar 213. The horizontal field of view of the second Doppler laser radar 213 is approximately 120° to 150°. It can perceive obstacles in front of the vehicle body and measure the speed and distance of moving obstacles in front of the vehicle body. It can still have good perception functions in harsh environments such as rainy and foggy weather.

[0048] The camera device 22 in the forward perception module 2D includes a second infrared camera 222. The horizontal field of view of the second infrared camera 222 is approximately 90°, which can detect obstacles in front of the vehicle body under low visibility.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the radar device 21 in the rear perception module 2E includes a third Doppler laser radar 216 and a long-range optical radar 217. The horizontal field of view angle of the third Doppler laser radar 216 is approximately 120° to 150°, and the horizontal field of view angle of the long-range optical radar 217 is approximately 110°. The third Doppler laser radar 216 and the long-range optical radar 217 cooperate to sense obstacles behind the vehicle body and measure the speed and distance of moving obstacles behind the vehicle body. They can still have good perception functions in harsh environments such as rainy and foggy weather, and can be suitable for reversing in low visibility.

[0050] The camera device 22 in the rear perception module 2E includes a third infrared camera 225. The horizontal field of view of the third infrared camera 225 is approximately 90°, which can detect obstacles behind the vehicle body in low visibility.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, by cooperating with the roof sensing module 2A, the left side sensing module 2B, the right side sensing module 2C, the front sensing module 2D and the rear sensing module 2E, 360° all-round coverage without blind spots can be achieved for the surrounding environment of the dump truck body 1 (in Figure 5 In the example, since the fields of view of the left-hand sensing module 2B and the right-hand sensing module 2C are covered by the field of view of the roof sensing module 2A, Figure 5 The field of view of the left-side sensing module 2B and the right-side sensing module 2C are not shown).

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the roof sensing module 2A is arranged at the front edge of the top of the vehicle head 11.

[0053] The first ultrasonic radar array 214 in the left-side sensing module 2B is set at the lower position of the left side of the front of the vehicle 11, specifically, it can be set close to the left wheel arch, the lower part of the left door, the left headlight and other positions; the first camera 223 in the left-side sensing module 2B is set at the upper position of the left side of the front of the vehicle 11, specifically, it can be set close to the upper part of the left door, the left rearview mirror and other positions.

[0054] The second ultrasonic radar array 215 in the right-hand side perception module 2C is arranged at the lower position of the right side of the front of the vehicle 11, specifically, it can be arranged close to the right wheel arch, the lower part of the right door, the right headlight, etc.; the second camera 224 in the right-hand side perception module 2C is arranged at the upper position of the right side of the front of the vehicle 11, specifically, it can be arranged close to the upper part of the right door, the right rearview mirror, etc.

[0055] The forward sensing module 2D is mounted on the front bumper 111 of the front end 11 and is positioned in the middle of the front bumper 111 along the left-right direction X of the dump truck body 1. The second Doppler laser radar 213 and the second infrared camera 222 in the forward sensing module 2D are positioned close to each other.

[0056] The rearward sensing module 2E is located below the cargo box 13 and in the middle of the rear end 12 along the left-right direction X of the dump truck body 1. The third Doppler laser radar 216, long-range optical radar 217, and third infrared camera 225 in the rearward sensing module 2E are positioned close to each other.

[0057] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to extend the service life of each sensing module 2 in harsh environments, each sensing module 2 can be embedded into the edge of the corresponding installation location on the vehicle body during installation, for example, into a recessed area of ​​the front bumper 111, side door, wheel arch, etc. At the same time, each sensing module 2 is also provided with a mask 24, which has impact resistance, dustproof, and waterproof properties. The mask 24 is connected to the dump truck body 1 and covers the radar device 21 and / or camera device 22 in the corresponding sensing module 2 (preferably, the mask 24 covers both the radar device 21 and the camera device 22), thereby extending the service life of the radar device 21 and / or the camera device 22.

[0058] The structure and form of the corresponding mask 24 may vary depending on the structure and installation location of each sensing module 2. When the mask 24 covers at least the camera 22 in the corresponding sensing module 2, the mask 24 is generally transparent to prevent the mask 24 from affecting the imaging effect of the camera 22.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mask members 24 in the left-side sensing module 2B, the right-side sensing module 2C, the front-side sensing module 2D and the rear-side sensing module 2E are all shell-shaped structures.

[0060] The shielding member 24 in the roof sensing module 2A is a rotating cover 241, which can be a transparent cylindrical structure. The radar device 21 and the camera device 22 in the roof sensing module 2A are both disposed within the rotating cover 241. The rotating cover 241 is rotatably connected to the vehicle front 11. The rotating cover 241 can rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally relative to the vehicle front 11, thereby allowing the roof sensing module 2A to rotate 360 ​​degrees horizontally relative to the vehicle front 11. A rotation drive device is connected to the rotating cover 241 and is used to drive the rotating cover 241 to rotate relative to the vehicle front 11.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, each perception module 2 is further provided with a data processing module 23, which may specifically be an arithmetic unit, an MCU (microcontroller unit), etc. The radar device 21 and the camera device 22 in each perception module 2 are both electrically connected to the data processing module 23. In other words, each perception module 2 is further integrated with a data processing module 23 (the data processing module 23 may be integrated into the corresponding radar device 21 or camera device 22, or may be provided separately). The dump truck also includes a main controller 3 (i.e., a central processing unit / ECU), and the data processing module 23 in each perception module 2 is electrically connected to the main controller 3.

[0062] Specifically, by integrating a data processing module 23 into each perception module 2, each data processing module 23 can analyze and process the data collected by the corresponding radar device 21 and camera device 22 in advance, and then transmit the processed data to the main controller 3. The main controller 3 analyzes and calculates the data transmitted by each data processing module 23, thereby controlling the movement of the dump truck (including acceleration, deceleration, steering, stopping, etc.). Such a setting can reduce the computing load of the main controller 3 and improve the perception and response speed of the system (if the radar device 21 and camera device 22 in each perception module 2 are directly connected to the main controller 3 by electrical signals, the main controller 3 needs to directly process the data of many sensors, which not only greatly increases the computing load of the main controller 3, but also reduces the perception and response speed of the system).

[0063] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the dump truck also includes a positioning module 4 and a communication module 5. The positioning module 4 and the communication module 5 are located near the roof sensing module 2A and are both located on top of the vehicle's front end 11, thereby improving the signal strength of the positioning module 4 and the communication module 5. The positioning module 4 and the communication module 5 are both electrically connected to the main controller 3. The positioning module 4 is used to receive and transmit the dump truck's location information to the main controller 3; the communication module 5 is used to conduct remote wireless communication with a remote control terminal. The main controller 3 can wirelessly transmit the dump truck's location information and data detected by each sensing module 2 to the remote control terminal via the communication module 5, and receive control signals from the remote control terminal via the communication module 5, thereby realizing remote monitoring and scheduling of the dump truck.

[0064] The positioning module 4 may include a GPS positioning module, a BD (Beidou) positioning module, a GPS / BD dual positioning module, etc. The positioning module 4 also includes an inertial navigation function to improve the dump truck's navigation capabilities in areas with unstable signals. The communication module 5 may include a 4G network communication module, a 5G network communication module, etc.

[0065] The advantages of the dump truck provided by this embodiment include:

[0066] (1) By setting a roof sensing module 2A with dynamically adjustable angle, the field of view direction is automatically adjusted under different driving conditions, and a left-side sensing module 2B, a right-side sensing module 2C, a forward sensing module 2D, and a rearward sensing module 2E are set for assistance, thereby reducing or eliminating the blind spots of the field of view of the sensing module 2, improving the reliability of the sensing module 2, and further improving the driving safety of the dump truck.

[0067] (2) Each sensing module 2 is provided with a mask 24 , which covers the radar device 21 and / or the camera device 22 in the corresponding sensing module 2 , thereby increasing the life of the radar device 21 and / or the camera device 22 .

[0068] (3) By integrating a data processing module 23 in each perception module 2, each data processing module 23 can analyze and process the data collected by the corresponding radar device 21 and the camera device 22 in advance, and then transmit the processed data to the main controller 3. The main controller 3 performs analysis and calculation based on the data transmitted by each data processing module 23, thereby reducing the computing load of the main controller 3 and improving the perception and response speed of the system.

[0069] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
