[0002] With the development of the automobile industry, people have higher and higher requirements for the thermal comfort of automobile passenger compartments. In recent years, electric vehicles have gradually become popular, and the research on cooling and heating of electric vehicle passenger compartments has received more and more attention. During cooling in summer, the passenger compartment of the car absorbs heat from the outside, and the temperature inside the car rises. The higher temperature inside the car will seriously affect the thermal comfort of the passengers. The cooling capacity generated by air conditioning balances the heat received by the passenger compartment, which greatly improves the comfort of the passenger compartment.

[0003] However, the temperature in the car's passenger compartment is low in winter, and the heating uses a PTC heater. The heat generated by the air conditioner is blown into the passenger compartment through the fan, which will increase the temperature of the passenger compartment. In the foot blowing mode, the legs of the driver and co-driver are close to the air outlet, and the air supply temperature can reach up to 95°C. The legs have a strong "burning sensation", making the passenger compartment uncomfortable and posing a driving safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a front-end air blowing and cooling detection and control system for logistics vehicle air conditioners to solve the problem of burning sensation and leg discomfort caused by excessively high foot temperature in the passenger compartment and driver's seat when the logistics vehicle air conditioner is in heating mode.

[0030] When the logistics vehicle air conditioner is heating in winter, a three-way pipe is installed at the air inlet of the PTC and blower fan to realize the switching of internal and external circulation and the mixing of hot and cold air; when the power of the whole machine is constant, by selecting a blower fan with adjustable speed and air volume and then changing the fan flow, the proportion of cold air is changed to obtain the appropriate warm air outlet temperature, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling and changing the burning discomfort caused by the outlet temperature.

[0031] The air-conditioning control system also includes a mobile APP device end, and the mobile APP device end is communicatively connected to the 4G module and the cloud server.

[0032] The mobile app device is provided with a data receiving interface. The 4G module uploads and stores the collected foot temperature and blower fan speed data in the vehicle to a cloud server database via a cellular wireless network. After statistical analysis, the data is transmitted to the mobile app device. The user then logs in to the app, clicks on the foot temperature and blower fan speed fields in the app, and is connected to the data receiving interface. The data receiving interface displays real-time foot temperature and blower fan speed data, enabling data communication between the air conditioning controller, the cloud server, and the mobile device, thereby realizing detection and intelligent control of air cooling.

[0033] Through the detection system, air-conditioning controller, cloud server and 4G module, the air-conditioning environmental parameters of the logistics vehicle can be acquired and uploaded to the cloud.

[0035] The main controller communicates with the driver board via 485.

[0038] The air conditioning control system further includes a communication circuit, which is used for 485 communication or CAN communication.

[0039] The front-end air blowing and cooling detection and control system of the logistics vehicle air conditioner of the present invention can ensure that the foot temperature of the logistics vehicle meets the comfort requirements of the cockpit and the passenger compartment when the air conditioner is heating in winter, avoiding the occurrence of driving hazards. It solves the problem that when the air conditioner of the logistics vehicle is in heating mode, the foot temperature of the passenger compartment and the driver's seat is not too high, causing a burning sensation and leg discomfort.

[0040] The air blowing and cooling detection and control system for the front section of the air conditioner of the logistics vehicle of the present invention improves the intelligence level of the air conditioner control of the logistics vehicle, achieves the effect of reducing energy consumption, and solves the problems of low intelligent control of the air conditioner of the logistics vehicle and excessive energy consumption during the operation of the air conditioner.

[0041] Working principle of the present invention:

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in winter, the air conditioner of the logistics vehicle is heating, and the cold air in the external environment is heated by the PTC heater. At this time, the cold air is heated into hot air and the hot air is sent to each air inlet through the air duct by the blower fan. The hot air blown into the passenger compartment heats the passenger compartment, realizing the mixing of cold and hot air. The hot air reaches the legs through the passenger compartment or the cockpit, and the legs will feel a significant increase in temperature. If the temperature is too high, leg discomfort will occur.

[0043] When the power of the whole machine is constant, the wind speed of the fan can be changed by selecting a blower with adjustable wind speed. By changing the proportion of cold air, a mixture of hot and cold air is achieved to obtain a suitable warm air outlet temperature and change the burning discomfort caused by the outlet temperature.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 1On this basis, a three-way pipe is installed at the air inlet of the PTC heater and the blower fan to better achieve the mixing of cold and hot air.

[0045] in addition, Figure 2 The dotted part shows the air-conditioning front section blowing and cooling detection and control system. The air-conditioning front section blowing and cooling detection and control system consists of a detection system and an air-conditioning control system. The air-conditioning controller integrates a main controller and a drive controller. The main controller mainly receives and processes the temperature sensor detection data, controls the PTC heater, controls the blower fan, receives and processes the battery voltage and current detection data, controls the 4G module, and communicates with the drive board through 485. In addition to communicating with the main control board, the drive controller also drives the fan and compressor load. The detection circuit is used to detect the battery and strong voltage values ​​and the compressor current value. The communication circuit It mainly carries out 485 or CAN communication, and the 4G module control is integrated in the main control board. The 4G module uploads and stores the collected data of foot temperature and blower fan speed in the car to the database of Gree Cloud Server with the help of cellular wireless network. After statistical analysis, the data is transmitted to the mobile APP device. Log in to the APP, click on the foot temperature and blower fan speed of the APP, and connect to the data receiving interface. In this way, the data receiving interface can display the real-time data of foot temperature and blower fan speed, realize data communication between the air-conditioning controller and the cloud server and mobile devices, thereby realizing the detection and intelligent control of blowing and cooling.

[0046] When you just get into the car and turn on the car air conditioner, the blower fan needs to run at maximum power. Since the air output of the air conditioner is positively correlated with the speed of the blower fan, adjusting the air environment inside the car in the shortest time can allow the human body to enter a comfortable state in the shortest time. After the air conditioner is started, the blower fan also needs to run to a stable state in a short time. This is very important for improving the air environment inside the car and making the temperature inside the car reach the most comfortable state. The faster the blower fan speed, the greater the air output at the air conditioner damper, and the stronger the feeling of cold or heat. The air conditioning controller controls the blower fan to obtain the temperature and humidity of the car cabin, real-time wind speed, heat dissipation and other parameters under complex vehicle conditions, and processes the parameters with software algorithm strategies, changes the proportion of cold air and cooperates with the three-way pipe to obtain the appropriate warm air outlet temperature. When the air conditioner is started more stably, it will not cause discomfort to the human body, thereby achieving the goal of lowering the temperature of the feet.
