[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a control method for an active air intake grille according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of controlling an active air intake grille. The method can be executed by a control device for an active air intake grille. The control device for an active air intake grille can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The control device for an active air intake grille can be configured in an intelligent electronic device for automobile control. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0028] S110: Acquire the current temperature in the cabin of the target vehicle.
[0029] In this solution, the current temperature in the cabin of the target vehicle can be acquired based on a pre-installed temperature sensor.
[0030] S120: If the current temperature satisfies a preset temperature constraint, controlling the vanes of the active air intake grille to melt, so as to ventilate the cabin of the target vehicle and reduce the temperature in the cabin.
[0031] The temperature constraint condition may refer to a constraint threshold of the current temperature. That is, if the current temperature is greater than a preset threshold, the current temperature satisfies the preset temperature constraint condition; if the current temperature is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the current temperature does not satisfy the preset temperature constraint condition. The constraint threshold may be set according to the requirements of different vehicle models.
[0032] In this solution, the blade material of the active air intake grille is a low-melting-point composite material of fiber and gallium. The melting point of the composite material can be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of fiber to gallium, which can cater to the strategy of each vehicle model. The blades are all made of fiber and gallium composite low-melting-point material to ensure that the blades can be completely melted in the event of an accident without structural parts falling off in the cabin to avoid other accidents.
[0033] In this embodiment, if the current temperature meets the preset temperature constraint conditions, it means that the temperature in the cabin of the target vehicle is high and has reached a dangerous temperature. At this time, the blades of the active air intake grille can be controlled to melt, forcing the active air intake grille to open, ventilate the cabin of the target vehicle, reduce the temperature in the cabin, and prevent accidents.
[0034] In this solution, if the current temperature does not meet the preset temperature constraint, it means that the temperature in the cabin of the target vehicle is within the normal range and no measures need to be taken.
[0035] In the technical solution, optionally, the blade includes a first blade and a second blade; wherein the thickness of the first blade is less than the thickness of the second blade;
[0036] Correspondingly, if the current temperature satisfies the preset temperature constraint condition, controlling the blades of the active air intake grille to melt includes:
[0037] If the current temperature is greater than a preset first threshold, controlling the first blade to melt;
[0038] obtaining the temperature in the cabin after the first blade melts;
[0039] If the temperature in the cabin is greater than a preset second threshold, controlling the second blade to melt;
[0040] The first threshold is smaller than the second threshold.
[0041] In this embodiment, the thickness of the first blade can be controlled to be 1.5-2 mm, and the thickness of the second blade is 1 mm thicker than the thin part.
[0042] In this solution, when the current temperature reaches the dangerous temperature, the first blade is controlled to melt and the target vehicle cabin is ventilated. If the temperature in the cabin continues to rise and exceeds the dangerous temperature, the second blade is controlled to melt and the active air intake grille is forced to open to prevent accidents.
[0043] By controlling the thin structure to melt and ventilate first, if the temperature is still above the dangerous temperature, the thick structure will continue to melt, forcing the active air intake grille to open, which can not only prevent accidents but also ensure the strength of the blades.
[0044] In the present technical solution, optionally, the blade shape is hexagonal.
[0045] For example, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the blade structure provided in Example 1 of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the blade shape is hexagonal. The first blade is a darker hexagon, and the second blade is a lighter hexagon. A structure with regular hexagons arranged alternately in thin and thick shapes is adopted. The rotation axis radius of the active air intake grille should be more than 3mm, which is used to connect the blades and other structures of the active air intake grille.
[0046] By setting the shape of the blades, not only can safety be ensured by gradually melting the blades when the active air intake grille cannot be opened due to a software failure, but the strength of the blades can also be guaranteed.
[0047] In this technical solution, optionally, after obtaining the current temperature in the cabin of the target vehicle, the method further includes:
[0048] If a collision signal is received, it is determined whether the active air intake grille control system is normal;
[0049] If it is abnormal, it is determined whether the current temperature meets the preset temperature constraint condition.
[0050] Among them, the collision signal can be collected by a pre-installed sensor.
[0051] In this solution, the active air intake grille control system is used to control the opening and closing of the blades of the active air intake grille.
[0052] In this embodiment, if a collision signal is received, the active air intake grille control system is checked to see if it is normal. If it is not normal, the active air intake grille control system cannot be used to control the opening of the active air intake grille blades, and a safety accident may still occur. In this case, the active air intake grille blades may be controlled to melt and the active air intake grille may be forced to open.
[0053] After a software failure, the active air intake grille can be forced to melt and ventilate, which can avoid safety accidents and improve the safety of the vehicle.
[0054] In the technical solution, optionally, judging whether the active air intake grille control system is normal also includes:
[0055] If normal, the active air intake grille control system controls the blades of the active air intake grille to open according to a preset opening angle.
[0056] In this embodiment, the opening size of the blades of the active air intake grille can be controlled according to the temperature.
[0057] By controlling the opening of the active air intake grille through the software system, the temperature inside the cabin can be reduced and safety accidents can be avoided.
[0058] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention obtains the current temperature in the cabin of the target vehicle, and then determines whether the current temperature meets the preset temperature constraint condition. If it does, the blades of the active air intake grille are controlled to melt, so as to ventilate the cabin of the target vehicle and reduce the temperature in the cabin. By implementing this technical solution, when the temperature in the cabin is too high and the active air intake grille cannot be opened, the blades of the active air intake grille can be controlled to melt, thereby avoiding safety accidents.
