[0038] The parking air conditioner is usually powered by the vehicle battery. However, the voltage of the vehicle battery will decrease with time of use. When the voltage of the vehicle battery is lower than the voltage protection value of the parking air conditioner, the parking air conditioner will shut down and cannot be used normally. On the other hand, if the vehicle battery is repeatedly in a low-power state, it will seriously affect the service life of the vehicle battery.

[0039] In the related art, a photovoltaic power generation device can be installed on a vehicle to power the parking air conditioner.

[0040] However, the power generation of photovoltaic power generation devices is greatly affected by the environment. When the power generation is small, the parking air conditioner will shut down, reducing the stability of the parking air conditioner operation.

[0041] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0042] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for controlling a parking air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, the control method of the parking air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 101 to 103.

[0043] Step 101: Obtain vehicle navigation information;

[0044] In a specific implementation process, a photovoltaic power generation device and a control device can be installed on the vehicle, and the control device controls the photovoltaic power generation device or the vehicle battery as the power supply for the parking air conditioner. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the parking air conditioning system of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the parking air conditioner control system of this embodiment may include a navigation device 20, a photovoltaic power generation device 21, a control device 22, a vehicle battery 23, and a parking air conditioner 24. The navigation device 20, the photovoltaic power generation device 21, the vehicle battery 23, and the parking air conditioner 24 are respectively connected to the control device 22. The navigation device may include a mobile phone, a navigation device in the vehicle, etc.

[0045] In a specific implementation process, the navigation information of the vehicle can be obtained through the navigation device 20. For example, the current position of the vehicle, the driving route, the surrounding road sections, etc.

[0046] Step 102: determining, based on the navigation information, whether the vehicle enters a designated driving section within a first preset time period;

[0047] In a specific implementation, it can be determined whether the vehicle enters a designated driving section within a first preset time period based on the navigation information, wherein the designated driving section is a section where the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation device is lower than a preset power generation.

[0048] In a specific implementation process, the designated driving section may include a tunnel section, a rainy weather section, etc. The tunnel section can be known based on the mark on the map, and the rainy weather section can obtain the weather information corresponding to any section through the vehicle's related equipment, mobile phone, etc.

[0049] Step 103: If the vehicle enters a designated driving section within a first preset time period, control the power supply of the parking air conditioner to switch from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle battery.

[0050] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle enters a designated driving section within a first preset time period, the photovoltaic power generation device's power generation will decrease, potentially rendering it unable to power the parking air conditioner. This increases the probability of the parking air conditioner shutting down, impacting the vehicle's ability to use the air conditioner. Therefore, the parking air conditioner's power supply can be switched from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle's battery, ensuring continuous operation of the vehicle's battery.

[0051] The control method of the parking air conditioner of this embodiment obtains navigation information of the vehicle and determines, based on the navigation information, whether the vehicle enters a designated driving section with relatively low power generation within a first preset time period. If the vehicle enters the designated driving section within the first preset time period, the power supply of the parking air conditioner is controlled to switch from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle battery, thereby avoiding shutdown of the parking air conditioner in the designated driving section with relatively low power generation and improving the operational stability of the parking air conditioner.

[0052] See attached Figure 3 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for controlling a parking air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the parking air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 301 to 303.

[0053] Step 301: Obtain vehicle navigation information;

[0054] The implementation process of this embodiment is the same as the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiment. Please refer to the above related records for details and will not be repeated here.

[0055] Step 302: Determine, based on the navigation information, whether the vehicle enters a designated driving section within a first preset time period;

[0056] The implementation process of this embodiment is the same as the implementation process of step 102 of the above embodiment. Please refer to the above related records for details and will not be repeated here. The designated driving section is a section where the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation device is lower than the preset power generation.

[0057] Step 303: If the vehicle enters a designated driving section within a first preset time period, and when it is detected that the distance between the vehicle and the starting position of the designated driving section is less than a preset distance, control the power supply of the parking air conditioner to switch from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle battery.

[0058] In a specific implementation process, if the power supply of the parking air conditioner is switched to the vehicle battery too early, it will have a certain impact on the service life of the vehicle battery. Therefore, in this embodiment, the distance between the vehicle and the starting position of the designated driving section can be obtained based on the navigation information. When the distance between the vehicle and the starting position of the designated driving section is less than the preset distance, the power supply of the parking air conditioner is controlled to switch from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle battery.

[0059] See attached Figure 4 , Figure 4FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for controlling a parking air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the parking air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 401 to 406.

[0060] Step 401: Obtain vehicle navigation information;

[0061] The implementation process of this embodiment is the same as the implementation process of step 101 in the above embodiment. Please refer to the above related records for details and will not be repeated here.

[0062] Step 402: Determine, based on the navigation information, whether the vehicle enters a designated driving section within a first preset time period;

[0063] The implementation process of this embodiment is the same as the implementation process of step 102 in the above embodiment. Please refer to the above related records for details and will not be repeated here.

[0064] The designated driving section is a section where the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation device is lower than a preset power generation.

[0065] Step 403: If the vehicle enters the designated driving section within the first preset time, calculate the time it takes for the vehicle to pass through the designated driving section and the time it takes for the remaining power of the photovoltaic power generation device to be exhausted;

[0066] Step 404: Check whether the passing time is less than the exhaustion time; if so, execute step 405; if not, execute step 406;

[0067] In a specific implementation process, the travel time of the vehicle through the designated driving section can be calculated based on the vehicle's current speed, road conditions, etc., and the time it takes for the remaining power of the photovoltaic power generation device to be exhausted can be calculated based on the current operating frequency of the parking air conditioner. The travel time and the exhaustion time are compared. If the travel time is less than the exhaustion time, step 405 is executed; if the travel time is greater than or equal to the exhaustion time, step 406 is executed.

[0068] Step 405: Maintain the photovoltaic power generation device as the power supply for the parking air conditioner;

[0069] In a specific implementation process, if the passage time is less than the exhaustion time, it means that even if the power generation of the photovoltaic power generation device in the designated driving section is lower than the preset power generation, the remaining power of the photovoltaic power generation device is relatively large and can continue to supply power to the parking air conditioner. It is only necessary to maintain the photovoltaic power generation device as the power supply for the parking air conditioner.

[0070] Step 406: Control the power supply of the parking air conditioner to switch from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle battery.

[0071] In a specific implementation process, if the passage time is greater than or equal to the exhaustion time, it means that the remaining power of the photovoltaic power generation device is small. At this time, the power supply of the parking air conditioner can be controlled to switch from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle battery.

[0072] Specifically, when it is detected that the distance between the vehicle and the starting position of the designated driving section is less than a preset distance, the power supply of the parking air conditioner may be controlled to switch from the photovoltaic power generation device to the vehicle battery.

[0073] In a specific implementation process, if the passage time is greater than or equal to the exhaustion time, the current operating frequency of the parking air conditioner can be reduced to the target operating frequency, and after the exhaustion time is updated according to the target operating frequency, the passage time and the exhaustion time are compared again.

[0074] Specifically, the air conditioning tolerance of the vehicle interior occupants can be obtained; based on the air conditioning tolerance, the target operating frequency can be determined. The air conditioning tolerance of the vehicle interior occupants can be calculated based on parameters such as the vehicle interior occupant's control information on the parking air conditioner within a preset time period before the current time, and the vehicle interior temperature. For example, 10 minutes ago, the set first temperature t1 was adjusted to the second temperature t2, where t2 was less than t1 and the vehicle interior temperature was the second temperature t2. At this time, a third temperature t3 between t2 and t1 can be selected as the temperature corresponding to the vehicle interior occupant's air conditioning tolerance. Based on this temperature, the current operating frequency of the parking air conditioner is reduced to the target operating frequency. After the exhaustion time is updated based on the target operating frequency, the passage time is compared again with the exhaustion time.

[0075] In a specific implementation process, if the vehicle drives out of the designated driving section and meets the power supply conditions of the photovoltaic power generation device, the power supply of the parking air conditioner is controlled to switch from the vehicle battery to the photovoltaic power generation device.

[0076] The power supply conditions include the voltage of the photovoltaic power generation device being greater than the protection voltage of the parking air conditioner and / or the duration of driving out of the designated driving section reaching a second preset duration. In other words, the photovoltaic power generation device cannot be immediately switched to power supply when its power generation is low in the designated driving section. Instead, it is switched to power supply when the voltage of the photovoltaic power generation device is greater than the protection voltage of the parking air conditioner and / or the duration of driving out of the designated driving section reaches the second preset duration.

[0077] It should be pointed out that although the various steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art will understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not have to be performed in such an order.
