Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to an on-board cleaning device and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent debris from entering the engine compartment and to wipe away rainwater from the windshield, vehicles are usually equipped with wiper covers and wipers. Wipers need to be replaced frequently to meet cleaning needs, and there are also issues such as bends in the wipers and damage to the wiper motors, resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0003] In related technologies, vehicles are equipped with a jet-type structure that uses the ejected airflow to clean rainwater, fallen leaves, dust, and other debris from the wiper blades and windshield, thus achieving the function of traditional wipers. This allows vehicles to eliminate the need for separate wipers. Furthermore, because the wiper structure is eliminated, the jet-type structure requires less frequent parts replacement, resulting in a lower probability of malfunction and lower maintenance costs. However, the jet-type mechanism has insufficient coverage of the windshield surface during cleaning, leading to less effective cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a vehicle-mounted cleaning device that can stably cover the surface of the windshield during cleaning operations, enabling a more comprehensive cleaning of the windshield and achieving better cleaning results.

[0005] This application also proposes a vehicle equipped with the aforementioned vehicle-mounted cleaning device.

[0006] According to the first aspect of this application, the vehicle cleaning device includes: a jet assembly adapted to be disposed on the wiper cover of a vehicle, the jet assembly including a plurality of nozzles, the plurality of nozzles being arranged at intervals along a first direction, the first direction being the width direction of the vehicle, wherein the angle range of the fluid envelope ejected by the nozzles is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 160°, and the fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles have an overlapping area.

[0007] According to the embodiments of this application, the vehicle cleaning device is provided on the wiper cover by a spray assembly and includes a plurality of nozzles arranged at intervals along a first direction. The angle range of the fluid envelope ejected by the nozzles is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 160°. The fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles have an overlapping area, so that the fluid ejected by the plurality of nozzles can stably and reliably cover the wiper cover and the surface of the windshield, resulting in more comprehensive cleaning and thus better cleaning effect for both the windshield and the wiper cover.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, there are at least three nozzles, and in the first direction, the positions of the plurality of nozzles in the vertical direction decrease sequentially from both sides toward the middle.

[0009] In this embodiment, the positions of multiple nozzles in the vertical direction decrease sequentially from both sides to the middle along the first direction, which can greatly improve the uniformity of the sprayed fluid coverage and the cleaning efficiency, so that the edge area of ​​the windshield can be effectively cleaned, thereby making the cleaning effect of the vehicle cleaning device better.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the radius of the fluid envelope ejected by the nozzle is greater than or equal to the distance between the nozzle and the upper end of the windshield of the vehicle.

[0011] This application sets the fluid envelope radius to be greater than or equal to the distance between the nozzle and the upper part of the vehicle's windshield, which enables the airflow or water flow ejected from the nozzle to stably and reliably cover the vertical extension range of the windshield, thereby allowing the windshield to be cleaned more comprehensively and reliably, and further improving the cleaning effect of the vehicle cleaning device.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the jet assembly further includes a delivery pump and a delivery pipeline, the delivery pipeline connecting the delivery pump to the plurality of nozzles.

[0013] In this embodiment, the jet assembly is also equipped with a delivery pump and a delivery pipeline. The delivery pipeline connects the delivery pump to multiple nozzles. The structure is simple. When the vehicle cleaning device is in operation, the delivery pump can pump air or water to the nozzles, and then the nozzles spray air or water to clean the windshield, thus well meeting the operation needs of the vehicle cleaning device.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the vehicle cleaning device further includes: an air supply line and a control valve, the air supply line being connected to the inlet of the delivery pump, the air supply line being configured to supply ambient temperature airflow, warm airflow, or cold airflow to the jet assembly, and the control valve being disposed in the air supply line and adapted to be electrically connected to the vehicle's temperature control system.

[0015] In this embodiment, the control valve is installed in the gas pipeline and electrically connected to the vehicle's temperature control system. This allows the temperature control system to automatically adjust the opening and closing of the control valve based on the detected weather conditions. As a result, the gas pipeline can flexibly and efficiently switch the type of airflow delivered to the delivery pump, enabling the vehicle-mounted cleaning device to operate flexibly according to different driving conditions to meet different usage needs, making the vehicle-mounted cleaning device more flexible and intelligent in operation.

[0016] In some examples of this application, the air supply line includes a first air pipe, one end of which is adapted to be connected to the vehicle's heating system, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump to provide warm airflow to the jet assembly, the heating system being electrically connected to the temperature control system; and / or the air supply line includes a second air pipe, one end of which is adapted to be connected to the vehicle's cooling system, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump to provide cold airflow to the jet assembly, the cooling system being electrically connected to the temperature control system.

[0017] In this embodiment, the air supply pipeline is provided with a first air pipe, which is connected to the vehicle's heating system and the other end is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump. The structure is simple and can well meet the need to supply warm air to the jet assembly. Moreover, by using the vehicle's heating system as the source of warm air, it is possible to avoid setting up a separate heating air component, thereby further reducing the number of components of the vehicle cleaning device, making the cost of the vehicle cleaning device lower, and allowing the vehicle cleaning device to be better integrated into the vehicle.

[0018] In this embodiment, the air supply pipeline is also equipped with a second air pipe, which is connected to the vehicle's refrigeration system and the inlet of the delivery pump. The structure is simple and can meet the needs of supplying cold air to the jet assembly. Moreover, by using the vehicle's refrigeration system to provide cold air, it is possible to avoid setting up a separate component for supplying cold air, thereby further reducing the number of components of the vehicle cleaning device, making the cost of the vehicle cleaning device lower, and allowing the vehicle cleaning device to be better integrated into the vehicle.

[0019] In one embodiment of this application, the vehicle-mounted cleaning device further includes a water storage component and a water delivery pipeline, wherein the water delivery pipeline is connected to the water storage component and the inlet of the delivery pump.

[0020] In this embodiment, a water storage device and a water supply pipeline are provided. The water supply pipeline is connected to the inlet of the water storage device and the delivery pump, so that the spray assembly can not only spray air for cleaning, but also spray water for cleaning the windshield and wiper covers, making the cleaning methods for the windshield more diverse.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle cleaning device further includes a sensor adapted to be disposed at the upper end of the windshield of the vehicle, the sensor being configured to monitor rainwater and debris on the surface of the windshield and the wiper blades.

[0022] In this embodiment, a sensor is installed at the upper part of the vehicle's windshield. The sensor monitors rainwater and debris on the windshield surface and wiper blades and is electrically connected to the controller. The sensor is reasonably arranged so that the controller can control the spray assembly to spray according to the condition of the windshield and wiper blades monitored by the sensor. This allows for automated and flexible cleaning of the windshield and wiper blades without the need for manual operation by the user. This avoids distraction from manual operation, improves driving safety, and allows the on-board cleaning device to accurately adjust to the appropriate operating mode according to the actual weather conditions, thereby achieving better cleaning results.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the length of the nozzle in the width direction of the vehicle is less than the length in the nozzle spray direction.

[0024] In this embodiment, the length of the nozzle in the width direction of the vehicle is less than the length in the spray direction of the nozzle. That is, the nozzle is a flat fan-shaped nozzle structure, which can well meet the needs of fan-shaped spraying. It is convenient to arrange multiple nozzles and form an overlapping area to reliably cover the windshield, thereby well meeting the cleaning needs of the vehicle.

[0025] A vehicle according to a second aspect of this application includes: a windshield and a wiper cover, the wiper cover being disposed on the front side of the windshield and located at the lower edge of the windshield; and an on-board cleaning device according to a first aspect of this application.

[0029] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0030] First, refer to Figure 1 A brief description of a vehicle 100 according to a second aspect embodiment of this application is provided. The vehicle 100 includes a windshield 30, a wiper cover 20, and an onboard cleaning device 10. The wiper cover 20 is disposed on the front side of the windshield 30 and located at the lower edge of the windshield 30 to block water, dust, fallen leaves, etc., and prevent them from falling into the engine compartment, thus meeting the usage needs of the vehicle 100. The onboard cleaning device 10 can replace the original wipers to clean the windshield 30.

[0031] The following is for reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle cleaning device 10 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of this application is described.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle cleaning device 10 according to the first aspect embodiment of this application includes: a spray assembly 11, the spray assembly 11 being adapted to be disposed on the wiper cover 20 of a vehicle 100, the spray assembly 11 including a plurality of nozzles 111, the plurality of nozzles 111 being along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 The nozzles 111 are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions shown. The first direction is the width direction of the vehicle 100. The fluid envelope of the nozzles 111 has an angle range of greater than 90° and less than or equal to 160°. The fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles 111 have an overlapping area.

[0033] In this embodiment, the vehicle cleaning device 10 has a spray assembly 11 on the wiper cover 20. The spray assembly 11 includes a plurality of nozzles 111 arranged at intervals along a first direction. The nozzles 111 can spray fluid toward the windshield 30 to clean the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20. For example, the nozzles 111 can spray air or water onto the windshield 30. The airflow or water flow cleans rainwater, dust, fallen leaves and other debris from the wiper cover 20 and the windshield 30 from bottom to top. Rainwater, dust, and other debris are impacted by airflow or water flow and removed from the windshield 30 under the action of ambient airflow. This allows the vehicle cleaning device 10 to effectively perform the function of the original windshield wipers and replace them. At the same time, since the nozzles 111 are arranged on the wiper cover 20, the nozzles 111 can simultaneously clean dust, fallen leaves, and other debris on the wiper cover 20 when spraying, resulting in more comprehensive cleaning and better cleaning effect. For example, when multiple nozzles 111 are arranged, the orientation of the nozzles 111 can be flexibly set according to cleaning needs, so that the fluid envelope area formed by the multiple nozzles 111 can cover the wiper cover 20 and the surface of the windshield 30 as much as possible. For example, the nozzle 111 near one edge of the windshield 30 in the first direction can be tilted towards the other side of the windshield 30 so that the fluid envelope formed by the sprayed fluid can cover the surface of the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20. No specific limitation is made here.

[0034] It is understandable that the windshield 30 and wiper blade 20 are relatively long in the width direction of the vehicle 100, and the windshield 30 also has a large height in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, each spray assembly 11 is provided with multiple nozzles 111 arranged at intervals along the first direction, that is, multiple nozzles 111 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the vehicle 100, so that the airflow or water flow sprayed by the multiple nozzles 111 can stably and evenly cover the extension range of the wiper blade 20 and the windshield 30 in the first direction, so that each position on the wiper blade 20 and the windshield 30 can be cleaned by the impact of airflow or water flow, thereby enabling the vehicle cleaning device 10 to achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the angular range of the fluid envelope ejected by nozzle 111 is set to be greater than 90° and less than or equal to 160°, for example... Figure 2As shown, α represents the angle of the fluid envelope. The angle α of the fluid envelope ejected by nozzle 111 can be 91°, 92°, 95°, 100°, 130°, 134°, 150°, 155°, 160°, etc., so that the fluid ejected by nozzle 111 can form an obtuse angle jet. The airflow or water flow ejected by a single nozzle 111 can cover a larger area in the first direction and the vertical direction. Moreover, the fluid envelopes ejected by adjacent nozzles 111 have an overlapping area, so that the jet area formed by multiple nozzles 111 can achieve no dead angle coverage of the entire windshield 30 and wiper cover 20 in the first direction, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the vehicle cleaning device 10.

[0036] The angle of the fluid envelope ejected by nozzle 111 is less than or equal to 160°, which allows the fluid ejected by nozzle 111 to maintain sufficient jet force to effectively clean the windshield 30, and enables the vehicle cleaning device 10 to play a stable and reliable cleaning role.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles 111 have overlapping areas, which can achieve better cleaning results, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the vehicle cleaning device 10 on the windshield 30 and the wiper cover as a whole.

[0038] According to the embodiments of this application, the vehicle cleaning device 10 is disposed on the wiper cover 20 by a jet assembly 11 and includes a plurality of nozzles 111 arranged at intervals along a first direction. The angle range of the fluid envelope ejected by the nozzles 111 is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 160°. The fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles 111 have an overlapping area, so that the fluid ejected by the plurality of nozzles 111 can stably and reliably cover the surface of the wiper cover 20 and the windshield 30, resulting in more comprehensive cleaning and thus better cleaning effect for both the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, there are at least three nozzles 111. In the first direction, the multiple nozzles 111 can be lowered sequentially from both sides to the middle in the vertical direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, at least three nozzles 111 are provided. For example, three, four, five, six, or other numbers of nozzles 111 can be provided. This facilitates the stable and effective coverage of the ejected fluid envelope onto the surface of the windshield 30 to meet cleaning requirements. In this embodiment, the positions of the multiple nozzles 111 in the vertical direction decrease sequentially from both sides to the middle along a first direction. That is, in the first direction, the closer to the middle, the lower the position of the nozzles 111; the closer to the sides, the higher the position of the nozzles 111.

[0041] It is understandable that the farther the fluid ejected from nozzle 111 is from nozzle 111 and the closer it is to the edge of the envelope, the weaker its jet force and the worse the cleaning effect on the surface of the windshield 30. In this embodiment, the position of nozzle 111 in the vertical direction is set to decrease from both sides to the middle, so that the fluid ejected from the higher nozzle 111 can have a greater jet force in the same area in the vertical direction than the fluid ejected from the lower nozzle 111. This can enhance the jet force on both sides of the nozzle 111 near the middle in the first direction, so that multiple nozzles 111 can work together to form sufficient jet force to clean each area of ​​the windshield 30, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the windshield 30.

[0042] In this embodiment, the multiple nozzles 111 are positioned vertically from both sides towards the center along the first direction, forming a layout that matches the curvature of the windshield 30. This makes the distance between each nozzle 111 and the glass surface more consistent, thereby significantly improving the uniformity of the sprayed fluid coverage and cleaning efficiency. This ensures effective cleaning of the edge areas of the windshield 30, resulting in better cleaning performance of the vehicle cleaning device 10. Alternatively, the multiple nozzles 111 can be arranged longitudinally from both sides towards the center along the first direction to better match the curvature of the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20. This allows the airflow or water jets from the multiple nozzles 111 to be sprayed more evenly onto the surfaces of the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20, further enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the radius of the fluid envelope ejected by the nozzle 111 can be greater than or equal to the distance between the nozzle 111 and the upper end of the vehicle's windshield 30. This allows the airflow or water flow ejected by the nozzle 111 to reliably cover the vertical extension of the windshield 30, thereby enabling a more comprehensive and reliable cleaning of the windshield 30 and further improving the cleaning effect of the vehicle cleaning device 10.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the jet assembly 11 may further include a delivery pump 112 and a delivery pipeline 113, wherein the delivery pipeline 113 connects the delivery pump 112 to a plurality of nozzles 111.

[0045] In this embodiment, the jet assembly 11 is also equipped with a delivery pump 112 and a delivery pipeline 113. The delivery pipeline 113 connects the delivery pump 112 and multiple nozzles 111. The structure is simple. When the vehicle cleaning device 10 is in operation, the delivery pump 112 can pump air or water to the nozzles 111, and then the nozzles 111 spray air or water to clean the windshield 30, thereby well meeting the operation needs of the vehicle cleaning device 10.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle cleaning device 10 may further include: an air supply line 12 and a control valve. The air supply line 12 is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 112. The air supply line 12 is configured to supply ambient temperature airflow, warm airflow, or cold airflow to the jet assembly 11. The control valve is located in the air supply line 12 and is adapted to be electrically connected to the temperature control system 40 of the vehicle 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, the vehicle cleaning device 10 is further provided with an air supply pipe 12 and control valves. The air supply pipe 12 is configured to supply ambient temperature airflow, warm airflow, or cold airflow to the spray assembly 11, which can meet the airflow supply needs and can effectively expand the function of the vehicle cleaning device 10. For example, when the vehicle 100 is driving in the rain, the vehicle cleaning device 10 performs rainwater removal operations. At this time, the air supply pipe 12 can supply ambient temperature airflow, and the delivery pump 112 can increase its operating power, so that the ambient temperature airflow is pumped along the air supply pipe 12 through the delivery pump 112 to the nozzle 111 and sprayed out. The powerful airflow can blow the rainwater that is about to fall on the windshield 30 to the outside of the vehicle 100, thereby playing the role of the original windshield wipers. Here, ambient temperature airflow refers to the airflow formed by the delivery pump 112 pumping unheated or uncooled external air.

[0048] When the vehicle 100 is in a high-temperature driving environment, the air supply line 12 can deliver cold air to the delivery pump 112, so that the nozzle 111 can spray cold air flow towards the surface of the windshield 30, thereby reducing the air temperature in the windshield 30 area, which can cool the interior of the vehicle and improve the user's riding experience.

[0049] In snowy weather, the air supply line 12 can deliver warm air to the delivery pump 112, so that the nozzle 111 can spray warm air flow towards the surface of the windshield 30. The warm air flow can melt the snow in real time, thereby greatly improving the user's driving experience and driving safety in snowy weather.

[0050] In this embodiment, the control valve is installed in the air supply pipeline 12 and electrically connected to the temperature control system 40 of the vehicle 100. This allows the temperature control system 40 to automatically regulate the opening and closing of the control valve based on detected weather conditions. This enables the air supply pipeline 12 to flexibly and efficiently switch the airflow type delivered to the delivery pump 112, allowing the vehicle-mounted cleaning device 10 to operate flexibly according to different driving conditions to meet various usage needs, making the vehicle-mounted cleaning device 10 more flexible and intelligent in its operation. This embodiment utilizes the vehicle 10's existing temperature control system 40 to achieve intelligent adjustment of airflow delivery through the electrical connection of the control valve, avoiding the need for additional temperature control components. This allows the vehicle-mounted cleaning device 10 to be well integrated into the vehicle 100 system with fewer components and lower cost. The control valve in this embodiment can be reasonably configured according to the switching of the air supply pipeline 12 and the needs of airflow control; no specific limitations are made here.

[0051] In some examples of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air supply line 12 may include a first air pipe 121. One end of the first air pipe 121 is adapted to be connected to the heating system 60 of the vehicle 100, and the other end of the first air pipe 121 is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 112 to provide warm air flow to the jet assembly 11. The heating system 60 is electrically connected to the temperature control system 40.

[0052] In this embodiment, the air supply pipeline 12 is provided with a first air pipe 121. The first air pipe 121 is connected to the heating system 60 of the vehicle 100 and the other end is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 112. The structure is simple and can well meet the need to supply warm air to the jet assembly 11. Moreover, by using the heating system 60 of the vehicle 100 as the source of warm air, it is possible to avoid setting up a separate heating air component, thereby further reducing the number of components of the vehicle cleaning device 10, making the cost of the vehicle cleaning device 10 lower, and allowing the vehicle cleaning device 10 to be better integrated into the vehicle 100.

[0053] In some examples of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air supply line 12 may include a second air pipe 122. One end of the second air pipe 122 is adapted to be connected to the refrigeration system 50 of the vehicle 100, and the other end of the second air pipe 122 is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 112 to provide cold air flow to the jet assembly 11. The refrigeration system 50 is electrically connected to the temperature control system 40.

[0054] In this embodiment, the air supply pipeline 12 is also provided with a second air pipe 122. The second air pipe 122 is connected to the inlet of the vehicle 100's refrigeration system 50 and the delivery pump 112. The structure is simple and can meet the needs of supplying cold air to the jet assembly 11. Moreover, by using the vehicle 100's refrigeration system 50 to provide cold air, it is possible to avoid setting up a separate component device for supplying cold air, thereby further reducing the number of components of the vehicle cleaning device 10, making the cost of the vehicle cleaning device 10 lower, and allowing the vehicle cleaning device 10 to be better integrated into the vehicle 100.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-mounted cleaning device 10 may also include a water storage unit 13 and a water supply pipeline, the water supply pipeline being connected to the inlet of the water storage unit 13 and the delivery pump 112.

[0056] In this embodiment, a water storage component 13 and a water supply pipeline are provided. The water supply pipeline is connected to the inlet of the water storage component 13 and the delivery pump 112, so that the spray assembly 11 can not only spray air for cleaning, but also spray water to clean the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20, making the cleaning method of the windshield 30 more diverse. In addition, the delivery pipeline 113 can work in conjunction with the air supply pipeline 12, so that the airflow can boost the water flow, thereby forming an air-assisted spray, which allows the nozzle 111 to spray out a large water flow and a high-speed airflow. After the water flow and airflow are sprayed out from the nozzle 111, they can have a larger spray range and a better atomization effect. The airflow and water flow can clean dust and debris along the windshield 30, the roof and the rear of the vehicle 100, thereby greatly improving the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-mounted cleaning device 10 may also include a controller 14, which is electrically connected to the jet assembly 11.

[0058] In this embodiment, the controller 14 is electrically connected to the spray assembly 11, so that the controller 14 can control the start and stop of the spray assembly 11 according to the cleaning needs of the vehicle 100, thus meeting the operational needs of the vehicle cleaning device 10. For example, when the windshield 30 needs cleaning, the controller 14 can control the delivery pump 112 to pump airflow or water flow to the nozzle 111 for spray cleaning.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle cleaning device 10 may also include a sensor 15, which is adapted to be disposed at the upper end of the windshield 30 of the vehicle 100. The sensor 15 is configured to monitor rainwater and debris on the surface of the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20.

[0060] In this embodiment, a sensor 15 is installed at the upper end of the windshield 30 of the vehicle 100. The sensor 15 can monitor rainwater and debris on the surface of the windshield 30 and the wiper blade 20 and is electrically connected to the controller 14. This reasonable arrangement allows the controller 14 to control the spray assembly 11 to spray according to the conditions monitored by the sensor 15 on the windshield 30 and wiper blade 20. This enables automated and flexible cleaning of the windshield 30 and wiper blade 20, eliminating the need for manual operation by the user. This avoids user distraction and improves driving safety. Furthermore, it allows the onboard cleaning device 10 to accurately adjust to the appropriate operating mode based on actual weather conditions, resulting in better cleaning performance. For example, the sensor 15 may include a rain and light sensor and an image sensor to meet the needs of monitoring rain, snow, dust, fallen leaves, and other debris.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the length of the nozzle 111 in the width direction of the vehicle is less than the length of the nozzle 111 in the spray direction.

[0062] In this embodiment, the length of the nozzle 111 in the width direction of the vehicle 100 is less than the length of the nozzle 111 in the spray direction. That is, the nozzle 111 is a flat fan-shaped nozzle structure, which can well meet the needs of fan-shaped spraying. It is convenient for multiple nozzles 111 to be arranged and form an overlapping area to reliably cover the windshield 30, thereby well meeting the cleaning needs of the vehicle 100.

[0063] The following is for reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the second aspect of this application is described.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a windshield 30 and a wiper cover 20, as well as an on-board cleaning device 10 according to a first aspect embodiment of this application. The wiper cover 20 is disposed on the front side of the windshield 30 and located at the lower edge of the windshield 30.

[0065] According to the vehicle 100 of the present application embodiment, by setting the vehicle cleaning device 10 of the first aspect embodiment above, the spray assembly 11 is set on the wiper cover 20 and includes a plurality of nozzles 111 arranged at intervals along a first direction, and the angle range of the fluid envelope sprayed by the nozzles 111 is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 160°, and the fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles 111 have an overlapping area, so that the fluid sprayed by the plurality of nozzles 111 can stably and reliably cover the surface of the wiper cover 20 and the windshield 30, and the cleaning is more comprehensive, so that the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20 can obtain a better cleaning effect.

[0066] The following will refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Describes a vehicle 100 according to a specific embodiment of this application.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle 100 includes a wiper cover 20, a windshield 30, a temperature control system 40, a heating system 60, a cooling system 50, and an on-board cleaning device 10.

[0068] The vehicle-mounted cleaning device 10 includes a jet assembly 11, an air supply line 12, a control valve, a water storage unit 13, a water supply line, a controller 14, and a sensor 15.

[0069] The jet assembly 11 includes a delivery pump 112, nozzles 111, and delivery pipes 113. There are five nozzles 111, which are arranged at intervals along a first direction. The nozzles 111 are long and flat, and the fluid envelope angle range is 160°. The fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles 111 are connected or intersecting with overlapping areas. Specifically, the five nozzles 111 can be evenly spaced along the first direction, and the middle nozzle 111 can be located in the middle of the wiper cover 20. The control valves may include multiple control valves. The gas pipeline 12 includes a first gas pipe 121 and a second gas pipe 122. Both the first gas pipe 121 and the second gas pipe 122 are connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 112. The outlet of the delivery pump 112 is connected to the delivery pipeline 113. The delivery pump 112 is an air pump. Control valves may be installed on the first gas pipe 121 and the second gas pipe 122. The first gas pipe 121 is connected to the heating system 60, and the second gas pipe 122 is connected to the cooling system 50. The sensor 15 is arranged in the upper middle part of the windshield 30.

[0070] The water storage component 13 is a water tank, and the water supply pipeline is connected to the water storage component 13 and the inlet of the delivery pump 112. The controller 14 is located on the wiper cover 20 and is electrically connected to the delivery pump 112 and the sensor 15. The temperature control system 40 is electrically connected to the control valve, the heating system 60 and the cooling system 50.

[0071] When the vehicle 100 is running, if the sensor 15 detects that there are many fallen leaves on the wiper cover 20 or a lot of dust on the windshield 30, the sensor 15 can transmit a signal to the controller 14. The controller 14 controls the delivery pump 112 to start, and the temperature control system 40 controls the control valve to keep the first air pipe 121 and the second air pipe 122 in a closed state. The delivery pump 112 operates to pump external air to the delivery pipe 113 to form a dry, high-speed airflow, i.e., a normal temperature airflow. The airflow flows through the delivery pipe 113 to each nozzle 111, and the nozzle 111 sprays out the airflow, thereby blowing the fallen leaves or dust to the surroundings.

[0072] When sensor 15 detects that vehicle 100 is driving in rainy weather, controller 14 controls delivery pump 112 to increase its operating power, enabling delivery pump 112 to deliver a strong airflow from nozzle 111, thereby effectively blowing rainwater to the outside. When vehicle 100 is detected to be driving in hot weather, temperature control system 40 controls the second air pipe 122 to open, allowing delivery pump 112 to draw cold air from the compressor branch pipe in refrigeration system 50 through the second air pipe 122, so that a high-speed cold airflow can be delivered from nozzle 111. 1. Air is sprayed out to cool the interior of the vehicle; when snowy weather is detected, the temperature control system 40 controls the first air pipe 121 to open, and the delivery pump 112 draws air heated by the heating system 60 through the first air pipe 121 to the nozzle 111 to spray out, thereby carrying out snow melting operation; when the user needs to clean the vehicle 100, the air supply pipe 12 and the water supply pipe can be used together, so that the nozzle 111 can spray out a large flow of water and a high-speed airflow, and the airflow and water flow clean the dust and debris along the wiper cover 20, the windshield 30, the roof and the rear parts.

[0073] In this embodiment, a jet assembly 11 is disposed on the wiper cover 20 and includes at least three nozzles 111 arranged at intervals along a first direction. The angle range of the fluid envelope ejected by the nozzles 111 is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 160°. The fluid envelopes of adjacent nozzles 111 have an overlapping area, so that the fluid ejected by multiple nozzles 111 can stably and reliably cover the surface of the wiper cover 20 and the windshield 30, resulting in more comprehensive cleaning and thus better cleaning effect for both the windshield 30 and the wiper cover 20.
