Description
L’invention concerne un procédé de pilotage d’un système hydraulique pour le nettoyage d’un capteur de véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a method for controlling a hydraulic system for cleaning a motor vehicle sensor.
De nos jours, les véhicules automobiles sont équipés d’une multitude de capteurs, parmi lesquels des capteurs d’images pour l’aide à la conduite et au stationnement. Ces capteurs contribuent grandement à augmenter la sécurité routière et il faut s’assurer bien entendu qu’ils soient toujours en état optimal de fonctionnement. C’est d’autant plus le cas pour les véhicules autonomes de niveaux supérieurs, dans lesquels les données des capteurs d’image sont essentielles au bon guidage sur les voies de circulation. Des procédés de nettoyage sont ainsi mis en œuvre par un système hydraulique pour éliminer toute trace de pluie, boue ou autre composé susceptible de se coller aux surfaces vitrées des capteurs.Nowadays, motor vehicles are equipped with a multitude of sensors, including image sensors for driving and parking assistance. These sensors greatly contribute to increasing road safety and it must of course be ensured that they are always in optimal working order. This is all the more the case for higher-level autonomous vehicles, in which data from image sensors is essential for proper guidance on traffic lanes. Cleaning processes are thus implemented by a hydraulic system to eliminate any trace of rain, mud or other compound likely to stick to the glass surfaces of the sensors.
RésuméSummary
La présente divulgation cherche à optimiser le pilotage d’un tel système hydraulique pour assurer le nettoyage le plus efficace possible des surfaces vitrées de capteurs.The present disclosure seeks to optimize the control of such a hydraulic system to ensure the most effective cleaning possible of the glass surfaces of sensors.
A cet effet, il est proposé un procédé de pilotage d’un système hydraulique de circulation d’un fluide liquide, ledit système comprenant au moins une source de pression de mise en circulation du fluide liquide, de préférence une pompe hydraulique, un moyen de pulvérisation du fluide liquide et une électrovanne d’ouverture et de fermeture du moyen de pulvérisation, le moyen de pulvérisation étant destiné à pulvériser le fluide liquide sur une surface vitrée d’un capteur de véhicule automobile, le procédé de pilotage comprenant :
- une étape d’activation de la source de pression, et
- une étape d’ouverture de l’électrovanne,
l’étape d’ouverture de l’électrovanne étant ultérieure à l’étape d’activation de la source de pression.To this end, there is proposed a method for controlling a hydraulic system for circulating a liquid fluid, said system comprising at least one source of pressure for circulating the liquid fluid, preferably a hydraulic pump, a means of spraying of the liquid fluid and a solenoid valve for opening and closing the spraying means, the spraying means being intended to spray the liquid fluid on a glazed surface of a motor vehicle sensor, the control method comprising:
- a pressure source activation step, and
- a solenoid valve opening step,
the step of opening the solenoid valve being subsequent to the step of activating the pressure source.
Ainsi, grâce au procédé selon la présente invention, on s’assure que la pression du fluide liquide pulvérisé par le système hydraulique est suffisamment élevée, même en début de nettoyage, ce qui permet concomitamment de réduire la durée de pulvérisation, et de faire une économie de fluide liquide nécessaire.Thus, thanks to the method according to the present invention, it is ensured that the pressure of the liquid fluid sprayed by the hydraulic system is sufficiently high, even at the start of cleaning, which concomitantly makes it possible to reduce the spraying time, and to make a liquid fluid saving needed.
Selon un autre aspect, l’étape d’ouverture de l’électrovanne débute entre 10 ms et 1 s après l’étape d’activation de la source de pression.According to another aspect, the step of opening the solenoid valve begins between 10 ms and 1 s after the step of activating the pressure source.
Selon un autre aspect, l’étape d’ouverture de l’électrovanne débute entre 20ms et 200ms après l’étape d’activation de la source de pression.According to another aspect, the step of opening the solenoid valve begins between 20 ms and 200 ms after the step of activating the pressure source.
Selon un autre aspect, le procédé comprend une étape de désactivation de la source de pression et une étape de fermeture de l’électrovanne, l’étape de fermeture de l’électrovanne étant ultérieure à l’étape de désactivation de la source de pression.According to another aspect, the method comprises a step of deactivating the pressure source and a step of closing the solenoid valve, the step of closing the solenoid valve being subsequent to the step of deactivating the pressure source.
Selon un autre aspect, l’étape de fermeture de l’électrovanne débute entre 10 ms et 1 s après l’étape de désactivation de la source de pression.According to another aspect, the step of closing the solenoid valve begins between 10 ms and 1 s after the step of deactivating the pressure source.
