[0002] During the use of the related car refrigerator, since the car refrigerator consumes a lot of electricity, it is very easy to exhaust the power of the vehicle battery when working.

[0003] Specifically, when the vehicle is powered off, the car refrigerator continues to work and consumes power. Since the vehicle is unattended at this time, that is, the car refrigerator continues to work uncontrolled, the power of the vehicle battery will continue to be consumed by the car refrigerator until the vehicle battery is exhausted.

[0004] However, not only when the vehicle is powered off, but also when the vehicle is powered on and started, especially for electric vehicles, the vehicle refrigerator continues to work unconditionally, or the user only relies on experience to open or close the car refrigerator, which can easily lead to the vehicle battery being exhausted.

[0060] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should be the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which the present application belongs.

When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0062] As described in the background technology section, the related vehicle refrigerator control method is still difficult to meet the actual use needs.

[0063] In the process of implementing the present application, the applicant discovered that the main problem with the related vehicle refrigerator control method is that during the use of the related vehicle refrigerator, since the vehicle refrigerator consumes a lot of power, it is very easy to exhaust the battery of the vehicle while working.

[0064] Specifically, when the vehicle is powered off, the car refrigerator continues to work and consumes power. Since the vehicle is unattended at this time, that is, the car refrigerator continues to work uncontrolled, the power of the vehicle battery will continue to be consumed by the car refrigerator until the vehicle battery is exhausted.

[0065] However, not only when the vehicle is powered off, but also when the vehicle is powered on and started, especially for electric vehicles, the vehicle refrigerator continues to work unconditionally, or the user only relies on experience to open or close the car refrigerator, which can easily lead to the vehicle battery being exhausted.

[0066] Therefore, in the related control method of the vehicle refrigerator, it is not possible to combine the different states of the vehicle and the battery power to effectively and reasonably control the vehicle refrigerator.

[0067] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling a vehicle refrigerator, and the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0068] refer to Figure 1 A vehicle refrigerator control method according to an embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0069] Step S101: Determine the vehicle status and battery power of the vehicle in real time.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, controlling the refrigerator of an electric vehicle is taken as a specific example. Figure 2 As shown, the electric car specifically includes: an on-board interactive screen (abbreviated as HU in the embodiment of the present application), a domain controller (abbreviated as XCU in the embodiment of the present application), a power battery and an on-board refrigerator (also referred to as VFridge in the embodiment of the present application).

[0071] Among them, the power battery serves as the vehicle battery of the vehicle in this embodiment, and is specifically used to provide power for various electrical appliances and electric vehicles; the delay switch can be displayed in the HU, and the delay switch is used to set the working time of the car refrigerator, which can also be called the delay time; the XCU in this embodiment is specifically used to control the HU and the car refrigerator, and the XCU can also be used to obtain the vehicle status of the vehicle, the status of the car refrigerator, the status of the delay switch and the status of the power battery.

[0072] In this embodiment, the vehicle state of the vehicle can be specifically divided into power-off, power-on and start-up. When the vehicle is powered off, when the vehicle refrigerator is not set to continue working, all other electrical appliances will be powered off, which can be regarded as the vehicle is turned off. In this embodiment, the vehicle state of the vehicle being powered off is represented as: local OFF; when the vehicle is powered on, all electrical appliances of the vehicle will be powered on. In this embodiment, the vehicle state of the vehicle being powered on is represented as: local ACC; in this embodiment, the vehicle state of the vehicle being started is represented as: local ON;

[0073] It can be seen that the three vehicle states of local OFF, local ACC and local ON in this embodiment correspond to three different positions that the vehicle key can be in after being inserted into the key socket of the vehicle.

[0074] In this embodiment, the battery charge is represented by the percentage of the currently available power of the vehicle battery (i.e., the power battery) to the vehicle battery capacity, and the remaining battery charge of the power battery is represented as SOC, which is the displayed remaining battery charge of the power battery; in some other embodiments, the current specific remaining power of the battery, for example, 20000mAh, can also be used to represent the battery charge.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, the battery power of the power battery can be obtained in real time through the XCU. At the same time, the XCU can also obtain the current vehicle status of the vehicle in real time.

[0076] In this embodiment, the refrigerator can be in two states, open and closed, and are respectively represented as: refrigerator = ON and refrigerator = OFF; further, the delay switch can also be in two states, open and closed, and are respectively represented as: delay switch = ON and delay switch = OFF.

[0077] Based on this, the XCU uses the acquired current battery power and vehicle status to control the vehicle refrigerator and the delay switch of the vehicle refrigerator by further integrating the current battery power and vehicle status.

[0078] Step S102: in response to determining that the battery power is less than or equal to the preset threshold power, and the vehicle status is one of power-on or startup, the vehicle refrigerator is controlled to be turned off. In response to turning off the vehicle refrigerator, a delay switch for setting the working time of the vehicle refrigerator is turned off.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the battery power and vehicle status determined in the above step S101, a threshold power level can be calibrated for the power battery, and the vehicle refrigerator and the delay switch can be controlled in combination with the threshold power level.

[0080] In this embodiment, the threshold power level may be calibrated to 20%, that is, if the power level currently possessed by the power battery is 20% of the total capacity of the power battery, it is considered that the threshold power level of the power battery is reached.

[0081] In some other embodiments, the threshold power may be calibrated to other percentages according to specific circumstances.

[0082] Furthermore, based on the set threshold, the XCU can determine whether the power battery currently reaches the threshold power level according to the battery power obtained in real time.

[0083] Further, when the XCU determines that the current SOC of the power battery is less than or equal to the threshold power, the vehicle refrigerator is controlled to be turned off, that is, the state of the vehicle refrigerator is controlled to be refrigerator=OFF.

[0084] It can be seen that since the vehicle is in any of the vehicle states of local ACC, local ON and local OFF, when the SOC of the power battery is less than or equal to the threshold power, continuing to use the on-board refrigerator may possibly exhaust the power of the power battery. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the vehicle is in any vehicle state, when the XCU determines that the SOC is less than or equal to the threshold power, the on-board refrigerator is controlled to refrigerator = OFF.

[0085] It can be seen that when the vehicle is in any vehicle state among Local ACC, Local ON and Local OFF, if the refrigerator = OFF, the delay switch = OFF, that is to say, when the refrigerator = OFF, there is no need to set the delay duration condition for it. Therefore, when the refrigerator = OFF, the delay switch = OFF, and the function of setting the delay duration is turned off.

[0086] It can be seen that based on the set threshold power, the car refrigerator in any vehicle state can be controlled so that it stops working in time when the SOC of the power battery is insufficient to avoid the power battery being exhausted.

[0087] Step S103: in response to determining that the battery power is greater than the threshold power and determining that the vehicle status is one of power-on or startup, keeping the delay switch of the vehicle refrigerator turned on.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the battery power determined in the above step S101, when the battery power is greater than the calibrated threshold power, the delay switch can be turned on according to the specific vehicle status and the vehicle refrigerator can continue to work.

[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the XCU determines that the SOC is greater than the calibrated threshold power, it further determines the current vehicle state of the vehicle.

[0090] When the XCU determines that the vehicle is currently in any of the vehicle states of local ACC or local ON, the XCU can control the delay switch to delay switch = ON, and set a specific delay duration through the delay switch.

[0091] In other embodiments, when the XCU determines that the vehicle is currently in any one of the vehicle states of local ACC or local ON, the state of the delay switch may be maintained as delay switch = OFF, that is, the vehicle refrigerator is controlled not to work continuously.

[0092] It can be seen that the user of the car refrigerator can control the car refrigerator through the delay switch when the vehicle is in the local ACC or local ON state and when the SOC is greater than the threshold power, that is, the car refrigerator can be continuously turned on.

[0093] Step S104, in response to determining that the delay switch is turned on and setting the working time for the vehicle refrigerator, turning on the vehicle refrigerator when the vehicle status changes to power off, and controlling the vehicle refrigerator to be in one of an on state and a off state according to the timing process of the working time.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the above-mentioned turned-on delay switch, the user can further control the length of time the car refrigerator continues to work by setting the delay duration.

[0095] Specifically, when the vehicle state changes from the above-mentioned local ACC or local ON to local OFF, that is, after the vehicle is turned off, at this time, if the above-mentioned delay switch for opening has not been turned off by the user or other factors, the car refrigerator will continue to work in the current local OFF state of the vehicle.

[0096] At the same time, after learning that the vehicle status is locally OFF, the XCU will start the timing process; wherein, the timing process is for the delay duration set above, and when the timing process records the set delay duration, the timing will end; for example, when the set delay duration is 3 hours, the timing process should count for 3 hours.

[0097] Furthermore, during the timing of the working time, the XCU will detect the SOC of the power battery in real time. If the SOC is always greater than the above-mentioned preset threshold power, the timing process will continue and control the car refrigerator to continue working.

[0098] When the timing process is finished, the operation of the vehicle refrigerator is stopped, that is, the state of the vehicle refrigerator is controlled to refrigerator=OFF.

[0099] Further, according to the above steps, when the state of the vehicle refrigerator is refrigerator=OFF, the XCU also controls the state of the delay switch to delay switch=OFF.

[0100] In some other embodiments, according to the timing process of the working time, controlling the vehicle refrigerator to be in one of an open state and a closed state includes:

[0101] In response to determining that the battery power is less than or equal to the threshold power, controlling the vehicle refrigerator to turn off;

[0102] In response to closing the vehicle refrigerator, closing the delay switch.

[0103] In this embodiment, during the timing of the working time, the XCU will still detect the SOC of the power battery in real time. If it is detected that the SOC is less than or equal to the above-mentioned preset threshold power, the XCU will terminate the timing process.

[0104] Furthermore, when the timing process is terminated, the XCU will further close the delay switch and control the state of the vehicle refrigerator to: refrigerator = OFF.

[0105] In another embodiment of the present application, according to the timing process of the working time, controlling the vehicle refrigerator to be in one of an open state and a closed state further includes:

[0106] In response to determining that the vehicle state changes from power-off to start-up, closing the delay switch.

[0107] In this embodiment, based on the above timing process, the XCU will obtain the vehicle status of the vehicle in real time, and perform different controls on the delay switch and the vehicle refrigerator according to the changes in the current vehicle status of the vehicle.

[0108] Specifically, based on the timing process of the aforementioned embodiment, it can be seen that the timing process is based on the vehicle being in the local OFF state. When the XCU detects that the current vehicle state of the vehicle changes from local OFF to local ACC, it can be considered that the current vehicle has not yet started, and it is considered that the current vehicle may still be in an unattended state.

[0109] Therefore, when the vehicle status changes from local OFF to local ACC, the vehicle refrigerator and the delay switch are still controlled to remain in their original states.

[0110] Specifically, the XCU maintains the state of the delay switch as delay switch=ON, and maintains the state of the vehicle refrigerator as refrigerator=ON.

[0111] In another embodiment of the present application, according to the timing process of the working time, controlling the vehicle refrigerator to be in one of an open state and a closed state further includes:

[0112] In the process of timing the working time, in response to determining that the vehicle state changes from power-off to power-on, keeping the delay switch in an on state;

[0113] In response to the delay switch being in the on state, the vehicle refrigerator is kept in the on state.

[0114] In this embodiment, based on the above timing process, the XCU will obtain the vehicle status of the vehicle in real time, and perform different controls on the delay switch and the vehicle refrigerator according to the changes in the current vehicle status of the vehicle.

[0115] Specifically, based on the timing process of the aforementioned embodiment, it can be seen that the timing process is carried out based on the vehicle being in the local OFF state. When the XCU detects that the current vehicle state of the vehicle changes from local OFF to local ON, it can be considered that the vehicle has currently changed from the power-off state of the vehicle being turned off to the started state. Therefore, it can be considered that the current vehicle has been managed by relevant personnel. Therefore, the delay switch can be turned off and the car refrigerator can continue to work.

[0116] Specifically, during the process of XCU detecting the vehicle status in real time, when XCU determines that the vehicle status of the vehicle changes from local OFF to local ON, the status of the delay switch is controlled from delay switch = ON to delay switch = OFF, and the status of the vehicle refrigerator is controlled to keep refrigerator = ON.

[0117] In some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, HU, as a visual in-vehicle interactive screen, can not only interact with the vehicle users, but also interact with the XCU.

[0118] Specifically, the user of the car refrigerator can perform user operations through the HU, for example, setting the delay duration, etc.; when the delay switch = ON, the HU displays the delay switch as a clickable state, and when the delay switch = OFF, the HU displays the delay switch as a non-clickable gray display or not displayed; further, when the delay switch is in a clickable state, the function of setting the delay duration can be displayed on the HU, and the user can further set the delay duration for the car refrigerator on the HU, and when the delay switch = OFF, the function of setting the delay duration is displayed on the HU, or the function of setting the delay duration is set to gray display.

[0119] Furthermore, the XCU can also obtain the current state of the delay switch through the HU and control the delay switch through the HU.

[0120] Specifically, when the state of the delay switch is set to delay switch = ON or delay switch = OFF according to user operation, the HU sends the current state of the delay switch and the setting instruction of the related delay duration to the XCU.

[0121] Furthermore, the HU will also receive control instructions on the switch delay and delay duration fed back by the XCU in real time, and the HU will control the delay switch and the display of the delay duration according to the control instructions.

[0122] In some other embodiments of the present application, after controlling the vehicle refrigerator to be turned off, the method further includes:

[0123] Determining a reason for shutting down the vehicle refrigerator according to the vehicle state and the battery power when the vehicle refrigerator is shut down;

[0124] Visualize the reasons.

[0125] In this embodiment, based on the visualization function of the HU set in the above-mentioned embodiment, the reason why the vehicle refrigerator is closed can be displayed to the user of the vehicle refrigerator.

[0126] Specifically, when the reason for shutting down the vehicle refrigerator is that the XCU detects that the power battery SOC is less than or equal to the threshold power, the HU determines the reason for shutting down the vehicle refrigerator as the SOC is too low; and in this case, closes the delay switch.

[0127] Furthermore, the HU may display text such as: "Reason why refrigerator cannot be turned on = SOC is too low".

[0128] In some embodiments, when the XCU detects that the delay switch = ON, and the vehicle's status is local ACC or local ON, if the XCU detects that the working status of the refrigerator is turned off without receiving any fault code, the reason for the refrigerator being turned off is determined to be that the user actively turned it off; and the delay switch is turned off in this case.

[0129] Furthermore, the HU may display text such as: "Reason why refrigerator cannot be opened = refrigerator is closed".

[0130] In some embodiments, when the XCU detects that the delay switch = ON, and the vehicle's status is locally OFF and the power battery SOC is greater than the threshold power, if the XCU receives any refrigerator fault code, or detects that the working status of the refrigerator is turned off, the reason for the refrigerator being turned off is determined to be a fault in the vehicle refrigerator; and the delay switch is turned off in this case.

[0131] Furthermore, the HU may display text such as: "Reason why refrigerator cannot be turned on = refrigerator failure".

[0132] In some embodiments, when the XCU detects that the delay switch = ON, and the vehicle's status is locally OFF and the power battery SOC is greater than the threshold power, if the XCU receives any other vehicle fault code, or detects that the entire vehicle cannot be powered on by high voltage, the reason for the refrigerator being turned off is determined to be a fault in the entire vehicle; and the delay switch is turned off in this case.

[0133] Furthermore, the HU will be able to display text such as: "Reason why the refrigerator cannot be opened = vehicle failure".

[0134] It can be seen that the vehicle refrigerator control method of the embodiment of the present application controls the vehicle refrigerator based on the detection of the vehicle status and battery power, and comprehensively considers the different vehicle states of powering on, powering off and starting, and combines the set threshold power so that when the battery power is less than or equal to the threshold power, the vehicle refrigerator can be turned off immediately, thereby avoiding the battery power being exhausted due to the operation of the car refrigerator.

[0135] Furthermore, by turning on the delay switch when the power is on or started, the vehicle can continue to work with the onboard refrigerator after power is off, provided that the battery power is greater than the threshold power. The onboard refrigerator can be controlled according to the set working time and can be controlled to remain on or off according to the situation during the timing process.

[0136] In some other embodiments of the present application, after the vehicle refrigerator is turned on when the vehicle state becomes power-off, the method further includes:

[0137] Determine the current temperature in the vehicle refrigerator in real time and set a temperature threshold;

[0138] In response to determining that the current temperature is lower than the temperature threshold, controlling the vehicle refrigerator to be turned off;

[0139] In response to determining that the current temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, controlling the vehicle refrigerator to remain turned on.

[0140] In this embodiment, the current temperature of the vehicle refrigerator can be detected in real time to make the vehicle refrigerator work intermittently, so as to save battery power and maintain the temperature in the vehicle refrigerator.

[0141] Specifically, the current temperature in the vehicle refrigerator can be detected in real time, and a temperature threshold for controlling the vehicle refrigerator to be turned on or off can be set.

[0142] Further, when the vehicle changes from local ON or local ACC to local OFF, and after the delay time is turned on, the vehicle refrigerator can remain turned on when the battery power is greater than the threshold power.

[0143] Furthermore, when the vehicle refrigerator remains turned on, the relationship between the current temperature and the temperature threshold is determined based on the current temperature determined in real time.

[0144] Furthermore, if it is detected that the current temperature is greater than or equal to a temperature threshold, the vehicle refrigerator is kept turned on; if it is detected that the current temperature is less than the temperature threshold, the vehicle refrigerator is turned off.

[0145] Furthermore, after the vehicle refrigerator is turned off, the current temperature can continue to be detected and the above process can be repeated.

[0146] In some other embodiments of the present application, the real-time determination of the battery power may also include:

[0147] A battery for providing power to the vehicle refrigerator;

[0148] Utilizing a power battery in the vehicle to supply power to the storage battery;

[0149] and determining the remaining power of the battery in real time;

[0150] The remaining power of the storage battery is used as the battery power.

[0151] In this embodiment, the power battery of the vehicle is used to power the storage battery of the vehicle refrigerator, and the current remaining power of the storage battery determined in real time is used as the battery power.

[0152] Specifically, the battery charge is expressed as a percentage of the battery's currently available power to the battery's capacity, and the remaining battery charge of the battery is expressed as SOC, which is the displayed remaining battery charge of the battery; in some other embodiments, the battery's current specific remaining power, for example, 20000mAh, can also be used to represent the battery charge.

[0153] Furthermore, the battery power of the battery can be obtained in real time through the XCU.

[0154] In some other embodiments, using a power battery in the vehicle to supply power to the storage battery includes:

[0155] Setting a power supply threshold for the power battery;

[0156] Determining the remaining power of the power battery in real time;

[0157] In response to determining that the remaining power of the power battery is greater than the power supply threshold, causing the power battery to continue to supply power to the storage battery;

[0158] In response to determining that the remaining power of the power battery is less than or equal to the power supply threshold, the power battery stops supplying power to the storage battery.

[0159] In this embodiment, when the power battery is used to supply power to the storage battery, in order to prevent the power battery from being exhausted, a power supply threshold may be set for the power battery, and the remaining power of the power battery may be detected in real time.

[0160] Furthermore, when the remaining power of the power battery is greater than the power supply threshold, it is considered that the power battery has sufficient power and can continue to supply power to the storage battery; when the remaining power of the power battery is less than or equal to the power supply threshold, it is considered that the power battery has insufficient power and is difficult to supply power to the storage battery, and the power battery is stopped from supplying power to the storage battery.

[0161] It can be seen that this method combines different vehicle states and battery power to control the car refrigerator, so that the car refrigerator can not only continue to be used after power failure, but also avoids the situation where the battery power is exhausted under various vehicle states.
