[0017] Figure 1 It is a structure diagram of the automatic control system for automobile cosmetic mirror lamp of the utility model embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The specific embodiments of the utility model are further described in detail by comparing the drawings and the embodiments, the purpose is to help the technical personnel in the art to have more complete, accurate and deep understanding of the utility model concept, technical scheme of the utility model, and help its implementation. In order to make the technical scheme of the utility model more clear, the utility model is explained and described by the following embodiments.
[0019] In existing cars, a vanity mirror is often installed to accommodate the makeup needs of passengers. In most cases, the vanity mirror is located on the sun visor, which can be accessed by simply pulling the sun visor down from the vehicle's roof. To ensure the safety of the vanity mirror and enhance the makeup effect, the vanity mirror on the sun visor is often equipped with a vanity mirror cover and a vanity mirror light.
[0020] This embodiment proposes an automatic control system for automobile vanity mirror lights. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a vehicle power supply, a controller, a sun visor position sensor, a vanity mirror cover switch, and a vanity mirror light switch. These are each connected to the controller. Both the vanity mirror cover switch and the vanity mirror light switch support manual on / off. In this embodiment, the controller is a vehicle control unit (VCU), which offers high functional integration and control efficiency, effectively improving system automation and providing users with a superior control experience.
[0021] Specifically, the sun visor position sensor of this embodiment includes a micro switch, which is connected to the controller; the micro switch is arranged on the axis of the sun visor rotating from the vehicle roof to the vehicle front windshield, and the sun visor can trigger the micro switch during the process of rotating toward the vehicle front windshield.
[0022] In another preferred embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned function can also be achieved by providing a rotation angle sensor instead of the micro switch. Specifically, the sun visor position sensor includes a rotation angle sensor connected to the controller to measure the rotation angle of the sun visor from the vehicle roof to the vehicle front windshield and provide feedback to the controller.
[0023] The vehicle power supply has two states: ON and OFF. In the OFF state, typically only the vehicle anti-theft system and interior lights are powered. The position of the microswitch on the axis that rotates from the vehicle ceiling to the front windshield can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, the microswitch's trigger position is set perpendicular to the vehicle bottom. That is, when the sun visor is rotated to the perpendicular position relative to the vehicle bottom, the microswitch is triggered. If the sun visor is not rotated or exceeds the trigger position, the microswitch remains deactivated.
[0024] In this embodiment, the controller automatically controls the vanity mirror cover switch and vanity mirror light switch by acquiring real-time status data from the vehicle power supply and microswitch. The status of these switches is also fed back to the controller. When the vehicle power supply is in the ON position and the microswitch is triggered, the controller sends a control signal to the vanity mirror cover switch and the vanity mirror light switch to automatically open the vanity mirror cover and illuminate the vanity mirror light. When the vehicle power supply is in the ON position but the microswitch is not triggered, the controller normally controls the vanity mirror cover switch and the vanity mirror light switch to automatically turn off. However, if a person in the vehicle manually opens the vanity mirror cover switch, the controller sends a control signal to the vanity mirror light switch to automatically illuminate the vanity mirror light.
[0025] In this embodiment, the control system further includes an ambient brightness sensor connected to the controller. The ambient brightness sensor is used to obtain real-time information about the ambient brightness within the vehicle and transmit it to the controller. The controller then automatically adjusts the brightness of the vanity mirror light based on the ambient brightness, providing the user with an optimal makeup environment while also improving the system's automation level.
[0026] To further expand the use cases of vehicle vanity mirror lights and improve the automation level of the control system, the control system of this embodiment also includes a vehicle anti-theft system, which is connected to the controller and is configured to transmit the vehicle anti-theft status to the controller. When the controller detects that the vehicle anti-theft function is activated, it can send a control signal to the vanity mirror cover switch and the vanity mirror light switch to extinguish the vanity mirror light and close the vanity mirror cover.
[0027] In real life, a user might want to adjust their attire in the vanity mirror after leaving their vehicle with the anti-theft feature engaged. This adjustment is often brief. In this situation, the user must first disable the anti-theft feature, which means the vehicle's power is off. The user then needs to power it back on before using the vanity mirror, which is obviously inconvenient and time-consuming.
[0028] Therefore, this embodiment overcomes the above-mentioned problem by obtaining the anti-theft status of the vehicle and adding a timer. That is, the control system of this embodiment also includes a timer, which is connected to the controller and is used to time the time when the vehicle is released from the anti-theft status and the vehicle power is in the OFF position. After the vehicle is released from the anti-theft status, the vehicle power is in the OFF position by default. The timer immediately starts timing and sends a timing signal to the controller. The timing time can be flexibly set according to actual conditions (set to 30 seconds in this embodiment). After the controller receives the timing signal, the OFF position of the vehicle power is regarded as the ON position within the timing time. At this time, the controller can normally obtain the status data of the vehicle power and the micro switch to automatically control the makeup mirror cover switch and the makeup mirror light switch.
[0029] Meanwhile, the application also provides a vehicle comprising the automatic control system for vehicle cosmetic mirror lamp.
[0030] The utility model is described above with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the utility model is not limited by the above method. As long as the method concept and technical scheme of the utility model are used for various non-essential improvements or the above-mentioned concept and technical scheme of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are within the protection scope of the utility model.
