Before the vehicle starts, the control method of the camera washing device comprises the following steps:
s11, judging whether the camera 32 facing the view hole 111 can shoot clearly, if so, executing S12; if not, go to S14;
s12, sending a signal for allowing the vehicle to run at a first preset speed, judging whether the camera 32 facing the nozzle 2 can shoot clearly, if so, sending a signal for allowing the vehicle to run at a second preset speed, wherein the second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed; if not, go to S13;
s13, controlling the nozzle 2 to clean the camera 32 facing the nozzle, judging whether the camera 32 can clearly shoot or not after the cleaning is finished, if so, sending a signal for allowing the vehicle to run at a second preset speed, and if not, giving an alarm to control the vehicle to stop moving;
s14, determining whether the camera 32 facing the nozzle 2 can shoot clearly, if yes, controlling the driving structure to rotate the camera 32 to face the view hole 111, and returning to S12; if not, sending a signal for prohibiting the vehicle from starting, and executing S15;
s15, controlling the nozzle 2 to clean the camera right opposite to the nozzle 2, judging whether the camera 32 right opposite to the nozzle 2 can shoot clearly after cleaning is finished, if so, controlling the driving structure to drive the fixing piece 31 to rotate, enabling the camera 32 capable of shooting clearly to be right opposite to the visual field hole 111, and returning to S12; if not, alarming.
For convenience of description, the two cameras 32 are defined as a first camera and a second camera, respectively, the first camera being directed toward the sight hole 111 and the second camera being directed toward the nozzle 2 before the vehicle is started. It can be understood that, before the vehicle starts, it is first determined whether the first camera can clearly shoot, if the first camera can clearly shoot, it is indicated that the first camera can normally operate, and at this time, a signal allowing the vehicle to run at a first preset speed is sent, that is, the vehicle can start at this time and run at the first preset speed. And still need to judge whether the second camera can clearly shoot, if the second camera can clearly shoot, explain that the second camera also can normally work, send the signal that allows the vehicle to travel with the second preset speed this moment, the second preset speed is greater than first preset speed, in this embodiment, the second preset speed is the speed when the vehicle normally travels, and first preset speed and second preset speed all can set up according to actual need. If the second camera can not clearly shoot, it indicates that the second camera needs to be cleaned, and at the moment, the control nozzle 2 firstly sprays cleaning liquid to the second camera and then sprays clean air to clean the second camera. Then, after the second camera is cleaned, judging whether the second camera can clearly shoot again, if so, indicating that the second camera is cleaned, and sending a signal for allowing the vehicle to run at a second preset speed; if not, the second camera cannot clearly shoot after the cleaning, at the moment, an alarm is given and the vehicle is controlled to stop moving so as to remind an operator that the second camera has a fault.
If before the vehicle starts, first camera can not clearly shoot, shows that first camera needs to wash. Whether the second camera can clearly shoot is judged afterwards, if the second camera can clearly shoot, then control drive structure drive mounting 31 and rotate for the second camera rotates to just to field of vision hole 111, and first camera is just to nozzle 2, returns to S12 afterwards, and the camera of judging whether can clearly shoot this moment then is the second camera. If the second camera cannot shoot clearly, a signal for forbidding the starting of the vehicle is sent, and the nozzle 2 is controlled to clean the second camera. After the washing is accomplished, judge whether the second camera can clearly shoot, if, then control drive structure and drive mounting 31 and rotate for the second camera is just to sight 111, and return to S12, and it can be understood that, the camera of judging whether can clearly shoot this moment then is the second camera. If wash the completion back, the second camera still can not clearly shoot, then reports to the police to remind the operating personnel, there is the trouble in the second camera.
Further, the control method of the camera cleaning device further comprises the following steps: after the vehicle is started, judging whether the camera 32 facing the sight hole 111 can shoot clearly in real time, and when the camera 32 can shoot clearly, driving the vehicle at a second preset speed; when the camera 32 can not shoot clearly, the control driving structure drives the fixing part 31 to rotate, so that the camera 32 facing the nozzle 2 rotates to face the visual field hole 111, and then the nozzle 2 is controlled to clean the camera 32 facing the nozzle. It can be understood that after the vehicle is started, whether the camera 32 facing the view hole 111 can clearly shoot or not is judged in real time, and when the camera 32 cannot clearly shoot, the position of the camera 32 is adjusted and the camera 32 is cleaned, so that the vehicle can safely run.
The embodiment also provides a vehicle comprising the camera cleaning equipment.
The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and features of this invention, which is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but rather is susceptible to various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which changes and modifications are within the scope of the invention as claimed. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
