[0025] First embodiment

[0026] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an air conditioning control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning control method, which is applied to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a movable through-type center console, and at least one air conditioning outlet is located on the movable through-type center console. The method includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 201: Obtain the working status of the air conditioner;

[0028] Step 202: If the working state changes, adjust the working state of the air conditioner according to preset requirements.

[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the air conditioning vents are located on a movable, through-type center console. The air outlet angle or direction of the air conditioning vents changes with the position of the center console. The air conditioning vents can be located at either end of the movable, through-type center console or elsewhere on the center console, such as between the instrument panel, center console, and passenger screens.

[0030] In one embodiment, the operating state of the air conditioner includes at least one of temperature, air volume, wind direction, air outlet type, and a relative position between the air outlet and the target seat.

[0031] In this embodiment, the vehicle air conditioner's operating state is first set to match the preset requirements, i.e., the preset operating state. Next, the current operating state of the vehicle air conditioner is continuously acquired to monitor whether the operating state changes. Operating state changes include changes in the vehicle air conditioner's operating parameters, such as temperature fluctuations, air volume increases or decreases, air direction shifts, airflow type changes, and the relative position of the air outlet to the target seat. When the air outlet's airflow angle changes with the position of the center console, the relative position of the air outlet to the target seat also changes accordingly. This includes changes in the air outlet's position relative to the target seat, such as rising, falling, or tilting left or right relative to the target seat. In this case, the vehicle air conditioner does not match the preset requirements, and the operating state of the vehicle air conditioner needs to be adjusted. Since the center console's position change pattern is fixed, for example, if the center console rises or falls by 5 cm, this position change data is recorded and used as reference data for air conditioner adjustments.

[0032] When a change in the operating status is detected, indicating that the vehicle air conditioner's operating status is inconsistent with the preset operating status, the current vehicle air conditioner operating status will be automatically adjusted according to the preset requirements to ensure that the current operating status of the vehicle air conditioner is consistent with the preset requirements and meets the user's habits or preferences when using the air conditioner. By pre-recording the air conditioner's operating status, such as the air outlet angle or position, when the height or tilt angle of the center console screen changes, the air outlet angle or position of the air conditioner is automatically adjusted to ensure that the angle or position of the air conditioner outlet relative to the user remains unchanged, and the user does not need to manually adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner.

[0033] In one embodiment, before obtaining the air conditioning operating status, it is necessary to determine a preset requirement. The preset requirement can be a specific requirement for the user currently using the vehicle's air conditioning. Specifically, when determining the preset requirement, the user corresponding to the location of the air conditioning outlet can be identified to obtain the user's pre-set air conditioning requirement. The preset requirement is then determined based on the user's corresponding air conditioning requirement. When the user at the location of the air conditioning outlet changes, the vehicle will automatically adjust the air conditioning operating status based on the user's set air conditioning requirements after recognizing the user. For example, after the user gets in the vehicle, the user is identified and the air conditioning operating status corresponding to the user is enabled. After detecting a change in the angle of the air conditioning outlet, it is determined whether the current air conditioning operating status is consistent with the preset operating status. If not, the current air conditioning operating status is restored to the preset operating status. In addition to being tailored to different users, automatic adjustment of the air conditioning can also be applied to different scenarios. Optionally, when determining the preset requirement, the physical characteristics of the user corresponding to the location of the air conditioning outlet can also be obtained, and the preset requirement determined based on the physical characteristics. For example, if it determines that there is a child in the car based on the user's body shape, the child mode of the air conditioner will be automatically activated, the air flow of some air-conditioning ducts in the child's seating area will be closed, or the angle of the air outlet baffle or the position of the air outlet will be automatically adjusted to avoid direct blowing on the child, thereby improving the user's riding experience.

[0034] In one embodiment, the position information of the user's head or body can be collected by the camera inside the vehicle. After the working state of the air conditioner changes, the amount of air conditioning adjustment required to achieve the same air conditioning effect as before is determined based on the collected information. For example, the preset working state of the air conditioner is that the air outlet is facing the user's body. When the user changes or the user adjusts the sitting posture, the relative position of the air outlet and the user changes. If the camera inside the vehicle detects that the current air outlet position is not blowing air directly towards the user's body, the air outlet angle of the air conditioner outlet is automatically adjusted so that the air outlet is always facing the user's body to blow air. If the camera inside the vehicle detects that the distance between the current air outlet and the user has increased, the air volume of the air conditioner outlet is automatically adjusted to ensure that the air outlet effect before the change is achieved, thereby ensuring a good air conditioning experience for the user.

[0035] In one embodiment, the air outlet is connected to at least one motor to adjust the working state of the air conditioner according to preset requirements, including the following steps:

[0036] The motor adjusts the air outlet angle and / or air volume of the air conditioner so that the working state of the air conditioner matches the preset working state.

[0037] In one embodiment, adjusting the air outlet angle and / or air volume of the air conditioner outlet according to the motor includes at least one of the following:

[0038] The first motor adjusts the air outlet angle of the air conditioner outlet in the vertical direction;

[0039] The second motor adjusts the air outlet angle of the air conditioner outlet in the horizontal direction;

[0040] The third motor adjusts the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0041] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an air-conditioning outlet according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet can be adjusted by expanding or reducing the air outlet area of ​​the air-conditioning outlet. A control motor is connected inside each air outlet. The first motor connected to the horizontal air outlet baffle controls the vertical rotation of the air outlet to adjust the air outlet angle of the air-conditioning outlet in the vertical direction. The second motor connected to the vertical air outlet baffle controls the left and right rotation of the air outlet to adjust the air outlet angle of the air-conditioning outlet in the horizontal direction. The third motor controls the opening width of the air duct inside the air outlet baffle to adjust the air volume of the air-conditioning outlet.

[0042] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of an air conditioner outlet connected to a motor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the motor is equipped with a motor switch that automatically turns on and restores the set value only in the following situations: a. When a user change is detected and the changed user data has been stored; b. In vehicles with the same panel for the screen and air vents, if the panel moves or rotates in a certain direction, the air vent baffle and air volume control baffle will adjust accordingly. Potentiometers are added to the air conditioner air vent baffle and air volume control baffle. The vehicle determines the current directional baffle position based on the AD value corresponding to the resistance value in the potentiometer.

[0043] In one embodiment, the motor is powered off when a change in operating status is detected and the air conditioner outlet is in contact with a user. The motor is powered on when the air conditioner outlet is not in contact with the user. In this embodiment, the contact status of the air conditioner outlet with the user can be determined through camera photography, infrared photography of the air conditioner outlet, bioelectrical potential collection, and other methods, and the motor is powered on or off based on the determination. When the user is in contact with the air conditioner outlet, the system defaults to manual adjustment mode, disabling automatic adjustment control of the vehicle air conditioner.

[0044] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a specific flow chart of an air conditioning control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4As shown, the vehicle processor determines the current position of the air-conditioning outlet baffle by recording the AD value of the air-conditioning outlet position. When the center console or air-conditioning position changes, the air-conditioning outlet will shift or flip accordingly. At this time, the air-conditioning outlet is adjusted to the position and direction facing the user before the change. It then continues to determine whether the user corresponding to the air-conditioning outlet has changed. If so, the preset air-conditioning operating state of the current user is determined, and the air-conditioning outlet position and angle corresponding to the current user are adjusted. When the user actively adjusts the air outlet angle of the air-conditioning outlet, the manual adjustment mode is triggered, and the operating state of the air-conditioning at this time is recorded as the preset operating state. If no manual adjustment of the air outlet by the user is detected, the operating state of the air-conditioning continues to be obtained.

[0045] The air conditioning control method of this embodiment is applied to a vehicle including a movable through-type center console, with at least one air conditioning vent located on the movable through-type center console. The method includes obtaining the operating status of the air conditioner and, if the operating status changes, adjusting the operating status of the air conditioner according to preset requirements. Through this approach, this embodiment can automatically adjust the operating status of the air conditioner to meet preset requirements when the operating status changes, thereby improving the user experience of using the air conditioner.
