[0035] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 Some embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle front cover system, which comprises a front cover 1, a front cover lock module 2, a sensing module 3 and a control module 4. The front cover lock module 2 and the sensing module 3 are both electrically connected with the control module 4, so that the control module 4 receives signals sent by the front cover lock module 2 and the sensing module 3, and / or the control module 4 sends signals to the front cover lock module 2 and the sensing module 3. The sensing module 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the outer periphery of the vehicle body by pasting or screwing, etc., to detect the knocking signal.
[0036] When the user knocks the side wall of the outer periphery of the vehicle body, the sensing module 3 detects the knocking signal and sends it to the control module 4. After receiving the knocking signal, the control module 4 identifies and judges the knocking signal to determine the user's request. Then, the control module 4 controls the front cover lock module 2 to open or close the front cover 1 according to the determined user request, so that the user can open or close the front cover 1 by knocking the side wall of the outer periphery of the vehicle body, which simplifies the operation mode of opening or closing the front cover 1, is conducive to improving the user experience, and is also conducive to improving the technological sense of the vehicle.
[0037] In an application example, when the vehicle is in a non-driving state, the user needs to knock the side wall of the outer periphery of the vehicle body at a preset knocking frequency, so that the knocking signal detected by the sensing module 3 can be identified by the control module 4, and then the user's request is determined, thereby avoiding the knocking of the side wall of the outer periphery of the vehicle body by the user's misoperation or other objects to cause the front cover 1 to be opened or closed.
[0038] When the vehicle is in the driving state, if the outer peripheral side wall of the vehicle body is hit by splashed stones or other objects, even if the frequency of the hit meets the preset hit frequency, the control module 4 can recognize the hit signal, and the control module 4 will not issue a control signal, which is beneficial to ensure the driving safety of the vehicle.
[0039] When the vehicle is in the non-driving state, and the front cover 1 is in the closed state, the user hits the outer peripheral side wall of the vehicle body at the preset hit frequency, and the control module 4 determines that the user requests to open the front cover 1. When the vehicle is in the non-driving state, and the front cover 1 is in the open state, the user hits the front cover 1 at the preset hit frequency, and the control module 4 determines that the user requests to close the front cover 1.
[0040] For example, the preset hit frequency can include but is not limited to the number of hits, the interval time between adjacent two hits, etc.
[0041] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, due to the current market pursuit of vehicle space, the width size of the front cover 1 is larger than before. Therefore, in order to avoid the gap between the front cover 1 in the closed state and the headlamp 5 and the fender not meeting the design requirements, the front cover lock module 2 includes a front cover actuator 21, and at least two sets of matched front cover lock buckles 22 and front cover locks 23, and adjacent two sets of front cover lock buckles 22 and front cover locks 23 are arranged at the front end of the front cover 1.
[0042] In an example, one front cover actuator 21 can control at least two sets of front cover lock buckles 22 and front cover locks 23 at the same time, which is more beneficial to ensure the consistency of the action of at least two sets of front cover lock buckles 22 and front cover locks 23, and also beneficial to reduce the cost. In another example, one front cover actuator 21 controls one set of front cover lock buckles 22 and front cover locks 23, which is beneficial to subsequent search for damaged front cover lock buckles 22 or front cover locks 23, and is beneficial to improve the maintenance efficiency.
[0043] For example, when the two sets of front hood lock catch 22 and front hood lock 23 are provided, the two sets of front hood lock catch 22 and front hood lock 23 are respectively arranged at the rear of the headlamp 5, which is beneficial to ensure the gap between the front hood 1 and the headlamp 5 and the fender in the closed state. In an application example, when the control module 4 controls the front hood lock module 2 to open the front hood 1, the front hood actuator 21 drives the front hood lock 23 to pop the front hood lock catch 22, and since the front hood lock catch 22 is installed on the front hood 1, the front hood 1 is opened when the front hood lock catch 22 is popped by the front hood lock 23. When the control module 4 controls the front hood lock module 2 to close the front hood 1, the front hood actuator 21 drives the front hood lock 23 to attract the front hood lock catch 22 to close the front hood 1. When the front hood lock 23 is ready to attract the front hood lock catch 22, the front hood 1 is in a half-locked state. It should be noted that the structure of the front hood lock catch 22 and the front hood lock 23 can be achieved by using the prior art, and therefore, the specific structure of the front hood lock catch 22 and the front hood lock 23 will not be described here.
[0044] In some embodiments, the electric supporting rod 6 is installed on both sides of the front hood 1 in the width direction, and the control module 4 is electrically connected with the electric supporting rod 6 to control the extension or contraction of the electric supporting rod 6, so that the electric supporting rod 6 supports or resets the front hood 1. The electric supporting rod 6 resets the front hood 1, that is, the electric supporting rod 6 drives the front hood 1 to the half-locked state.
[0045] In an application example, when the user taps the outer peripheral side wall of the vehicle body to open the front hood 1, the control module 4 controls the front hood actuator 21 to drive the front hood lock 23 to pop the front hood lock catch 22. When the control module 4 receives the opening signal of the front hood 1, the control module 4 controls the electric supporting rod 6 to extend to a preset length to support the front hood 1 at a preset angle, which is convenient for the subsequent operation of the user.
[0046] When the user taps the outer peripheral side wall of the vehicle body to close the front hood 1, the control module 4 controls the electric supporting rod 6 to contract to drive the front hood 1 to reset to the half-locked state, and then the front hood actuator 21 drives the front hood lock 23 to attract the front hood lock catch 22 to complete the closing of the front hood 1.
[0047] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the front hood lock 23 to attract the front hood lock catch 22 to completely close the front hood 1, the control module 4 controls the electric supporting rod 6 to contract to drive the front hood 1 to the half-locked state, and then the control module 4 controls the electric supporting rod 6 to be powered off, and the front hood 1 is closed under the attraction of the front hood lock 23 and continues to contract the electric supporting rod 6, until the front hood 1 is completely closed.
[0048] In some embodiments, the induction module 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the front bumper 7 of the vehicle body, and the user taps the front bumper 7 within the induction range of the induction module 3, so that the induction module 3 detects the tapping signal.
[0049] In some other embodiments, the front cover 1 comprises a front cover outer plate, and the induction module 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the front cover outer plate, and the induction module 3 can detect the knocking signal when a user knocks the outer surface of the front cover 1 within the induction range of the induction module 3.
[0050] In some other embodiments, the induction module 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the front cover outer plate and the front bumper 7, and the induction modules 3 installed on the front bumper 7 and the front cover outer plate are electrically connected, so that the induction modules 3 on the front bumper 7 and the front cover outer plate are linked.
[0051] In an application example, when the induction module 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the front bumper 7 and the front cover 1, the induction module 3 on the front bumper 7 or the front cover 1 detects the knocking signal, so that the control module controls the front cover 1 to open or close; or the induction module 3 on the front cover 1 detects the knocking signal, so that the control module 4 controls the front cover 1 to open, and the induction module 3 on the front bumper 7 detects the knocking signal, so that the control module 4 controls the front cover 1 to close; or the induction module 3 on the front bumper 7 detects the knocking signal, so that the control module 4 controls the front cover 1 to open, and the induction module 3 on the front cover 1 detects the knocking signal, so that the control module 4 controls the front cover 1 to close.
[0052] For example, when the front cover 1 is in an open state and needs to be closed by knocking the front cover 1, the induction area of the induction module 3 on the front cover 1 can be knocked by an auxiliary tool. The auxiliary tool includes but is not limited to a telescopic rod and the like. In some embodiments, the induction module 3 is installed on the upper side of the front bumper 7, so that the user can knock within the induction range of the induction module 3. It should be noted that the induction module 3 can be located at the middle position of the upper side of the front bumper 7, or at both sides of the upper side of the front bumper 7, or both.
[0053] In some other embodiments, the induction module 3 is located at the front of the front cover 1, so that the user can knock within the induction range of the induction module 3. It should be noted that the induction module 3 can be located at the middle position of the front of the front cover 1, or at both sides of the front of the front cover 1, or both.
[0054] In an example, the front cover 1 further comprises a front cover inner plate, and the front cover inner plate is provided with a clearance hole, and the induction module 3 passes through the clearance hole to be connected with the inner side wall of the front cover outer plate, so as to facilitate the installation of the induction module 3, and also make the induction module 3 closely adhere to the inner side wall of the front cover outer plate, which is conducive to improving the response speed of the induction module 3, reducing the induction accuracy of the induction module 3, and reducing the cost.
[0055] In another example, the front cover inner plate is provided with a mounting groove recessed towards the front cover outer plate, and the outer side of the bottom of the mounting groove is attached to the inner side of the front cover outer plate, the induction module 3 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting groove, and is tightly attached to the front cover outer plate through the front cover inner plate, which is conducive to avoiding external impurities entering between the front cover inner plate and the front cover outer plate.
[0056] In some embodiments, the induction module 3 includes at least one sensor, and the number of sensors is set according to actual needs, and the specific number can be set to 1, 2, 3, etc. When the user knocks the front cover 1 within the sensing range of the sensor, the sensor can detect the knocking signal. When multiple sensors are provided, the sensing range of the induction module 3 on the peripheral side wall of the vehicle body can be expanded, which is conducive to further improving the convenience of the user in opening or closing the front cover 1.
[0057] In an application example, when the induction module 3 includes one sensor, the sensor is mounted on the upper side of the front bumper 7 and located on the center line of the front bumper 7 in the width direction, which is conducive to the user knocking the front bumper 7 within the sensing range of the sensor. Alternatively, the sensor is mounted on the front of the front cover 1 and located on the center line of the front cover 1 in the width direction, which is conducive to the user knocking the front cover 1 within the sensing range of the sensor.
[0058] For example, the sensing range of the sensor is a range with the sensor as the center and a radius of 500 mm, and the user knocks the front cover 1 within the range, and the sensor can detect the knocking signal.
[0059] In summary, the vehicle front cover system provided by the utility model can detect the knocking signal through the induction module when the user knocks the peripheral side wall of the vehicle body, and send the knocking signal to the control module; the control module receives the knocking signal, judges the user's request, and controls the front cover lock module to open or close the front cover according to the determined user request, so that the user can open or close the front cover by knocking the peripheral side wall of the vehicle body, which simplifies the operation mode of opening or closing the front cover, improves the user experience, and enhances the technological sense of the vehicle.
