First, the environmental analysis unit 110 measures environmental data using a sensor installed inside the vehicle, and analyzes a clean state using the measured environmental data.

Here, the sensor can measure any one of dust concentration, CO _x concentration, NO _x concentration, and odor degree.

That is, the environmental analysis unit 110 analyzes the cleanliness of the interior of the vehicle through the dust concentration, CO ₂ concentration, NO _x concentration, and odor level measured from the sensor.

Next, the control unit 120 compares the environmental data analyzed from the environmental analysis unit 110 with a preset reference value, and if the analyzed environmental data value is higher than the preset reference value, a suction control signal for removing dust in the vehicle Produces

In addition, the control unit 120 further operates the engine for a predetermined period of time to allow air in the vehicle to be sucked when the vehicle starts to stop.

Next, the suction unit 130 is attached to the bottom of each seat of the vehicle, and is driven to suck air in response to the suction control signal generated from the control unit 120.

Here, the suction unit 130 sucks dust concentration, CO _x concentration, NO _x concentration, and odor inside the vehicle, and when the vehicle waits for a signal, when the vehicle is stopped for a predetermined time or longer, the vehicle gear is neutral. When it is changed to or when it starts, the air inside the vehicle is sucked by using the free energy of the vehicle.

In addition, the suction unit 130 can be installed in various sizes according to the type and size of the vehicle, it is possible to change the size according to the user's request to attach the smart vehicle cleaning system 100.

Next, the filtering unit 140 filters the air sucked from the suction unit 130, as shown in Figure 2, and removes CO _x and NO _x ,

Then, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the trash bin 150 may collect dust filtered from the filtering unit 140 and contain waste that the user throws away.

In addition, the trash bin 150 has a weight measurement sensor attached to the bottom to measure the weight of the garbage.

Next, the alarm unit 160 determines that the weight measured from the weighing sensor attached to the trash can 150 is heavier than the set weight, or when a certain time has elapsed when the suction unit 130 is driven. Output

At this time, the alarm unit 160 outputs an alarm signal using an interlocked user terminal or vehicle.

In particular, the alarm unit 160 outputs an alarm signal by measuring the weight of the trash container 150 when the user starts the vehicle.

For example, assuming that the reference value is 3 kg, an alarm signal is not output when the amount of garbage contained in the trash bin 140 is less than 3 kg, and an alarm signal is output when the amount of garbage contained in the trash bin 140 is greater than 3 kg. Output.

Hereinafter, a smart cleanliness method using a smart vehicle cleanliness system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a smart clean method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an exemplary view for explaining step S350 of FIG. 3.

First, the environmental analysis unit 110 analyzes environmental data inside the vehicle using data measured using a sensor (S310).

That is, the environmental analysis unit 110 measures each value using a dust sensor, a CO _x sensor, a NO _x sensor, and a odor sensor.

Here, the environmental analysis unit 110 normalizes the dust concentration, CO _x concentration, NO _x concentration, and odor values measured by each sensor to values between 0 and 10, and calculates the average of the normalized values to calculate environmental data values. To get

Here, the dust sensor is a sensor that grasps the concentration of dust in the air by using infrared rays and a laser, and according to an embodiment of the present invention, the dust sensor measures the concentration of dust in a vehicle.

In addition, the CO _x sensor and the NO _x sensor are sensors for measuring the concentrations of carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides in the air, and in embodiments of the present invention, the concentrations of carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides in a vehicle are measured.

Next, the control unit 120 compares the environmental data analyzed by the environmental analysis unit 110 with the set reference value (S320).

If the analyzed environmental data is greater than the reference value, the process returns to step S310.

For example, assuming that the reference value inside the set vehicle is 4, and the analyzed environmental data value is analyzed as 2, the environment data is analyzed by returning to step S310 again.

Next, if the analyzed environmental data is greater than the reference value, a suction control signal is generated (S330).

For example, assuming that the set environmental data value of the vehicle interior is 4 and the analyzed environmental data value is analyzed as 6, the control unit 120 generates and transmits a control signal requesting suction to the suction unit 130. .

At this time, the controller 120 may change the suction intensity according to the difference between the environmental data value and the set reference value.

That is, the control unit 120 increases the suction strength of the suction unit 130 as the difference between the environmental data value and the reference value increases, and decreases the suction strength of the suction unit 130 as the difference between the environmental data value and the reference value decreases. Order.

In addition, the control unit 120 generates a control signal including the suction operation time of the suction unit 130.

Next, the control unit 120 determines whether the vehicle is waiting for a signal, stopped for a predetermined time or longer, or whether the vehicle's gear has been changed to neutral or the start has ended (S340).

When it is determined that the vehicle is waiting for a signal, stopped for a predetermined time, or if the vehicle's gear is changed to neutral or the start is finished, the control unit 120 transmits the suction control signal generated in step S330 to the suction unit 130 to inhale Let the unit 130 inhale the air inside the vehicle (S350).

Here, the suction operation time of the suction unit 130 is calculated as in Equation 1 below.

That is, when the driver turns off the start of the vehicle, the controller 120 calculates the time A for inhaling air in the vehicle using Equation 1 below.

Here, B represents the sum of the air intake time from the time when the vehicle was started immediately before to the time when the vehicle was started.

Hereinafter, the process of obtaining Equation 1 using FIG. 4 will be described in more detail.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the reference time is 30 minutes, C is 2 minutes for inhaling air while the vehicle is waiting for the signal, and D is 10 minutes for inhaling air during vehicle stoppage.

Substituting this example into Equation 1, the sum (B) of the air intake time is 12 minutes, which is the sum of C and D, and the time (A) for inhaling the air inside the vehicle when the vehicle is turned off is It is calculated as 18 minutes minus 30 minutes to 12 minutes.

Accordingly, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the intake unit 130 performs an air intake operation for 18 minutes when the driver turns off the vehicle.

As another example, when the value of B is greater than the reference time, additional air is not sucked in when the vehicle starts to be ended.

Next, the filtering unit 140 filters the air sucked from the suction unit 130 (S360).

At this time, dust, CO _x , NO _x and odor are removed from the air that has passed through the filtering unit 140, and CO _x and NO _x are removed using a catalyst attached in the vehicle.

In particular, dust filtered from the filtering unit 140 is collected in the trash bin unit 130.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, by driving the air inhaler and the filter by using the free energy of the vehicle, CO _x and NO _x can be removed to make the environment inside the vehicle more comfortable, and without user manipulation The interior of the vehicle can be kept clean.
