[0028] To solve the above problems, the present application proposes a seat cooling system. Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of a seat cooling system shown according to an embodiment of the present application. The seat includes a target component 100 in contact with a user, and the system includes:

[0029] A refrigerant storage tank 101 for storing refrigerant;

[0030] A refrigerant delivery structure 102 having a first end connected to the refrigerant storage tank 101 and a second end connected to a cooling airbag 103 for delivering the refrigerant from the refrigerant storage tank 101 to the cooling airbag 103;

[0031] The cooling airbag 103 is disposed within the target component 100 for allowing the refrigerant delivered by the refrigerant delivery structure 102 to react to cool the target component.

[0032] In one embodiment, the target component in contact with the user includes the seat cushion and the backrest of the seat. As Figure 1 shown, the cooling airbag is disposed within the target component and may include being disposed below the seat cushion of the seat and / or being disposed below the backrest of the seat.

[0033] In one embodiment, a refrigerant storage tank is used to store liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant reacts inside the cooling airbag, including rapidly vaporizing the liquid refrigerant inside the cooling airbag, thereby absorbing a large amount of heat and quickly cooling the cooling airbag.

[0034] In one embodiment, the refrigerant storage tank can pressurize the reacted gas to obtain liquid refrigerant, so as to reuse the refrigerant.

[0035] In another embodiment, the refrigerant storage tank can only be used to store liquid refrigerant and be manually replenished when the refrigerant is exhausted. Further, when it is detected that the refrigerant content in the refrigerant storage tank is lower than a preset value, an alarm can be sent to the user to remind the user to replenish the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage tank in time.

[0036] In one embodiment, a refrigerant delivery structure is used to deliver the refrigerant in the refrigerant storage tank to the cooling airbag. The refrigerant delivery structure can include a valve. After the valve is opened, due to the relatively high pressure in the refrigerant storage tank, the refrigerant is pressed into the cooling airbag. The refrigerant delivery structure can also include an electric pump to extract the refrigerant from the refrigerant storage tank and send it into the cooling airbag.

[0037] In one embodiment, the cooling airbag is arranged inside the target component and is in close contact with the target component, so that after the cooling airbag cools down, the temperature of the target component can be rapidly reduced to avoid the bad user experience brought to the user by high temperature.

[0038] In one embodiment, the cooling airbag is used to hold the refrigerant and allow the refrigerant to react to achieve cooling. Among them, the reaction of the refrigerant includes endothermic chemical reactions and also endothermic physical changes. For example, by spraying a liquid coolant inside the cooling airbag, the liquid coolant rapidly vaporizes, thereby absorbing a large amount of heat and achieving a cooling effect.

[0039] This application can rapidly cool the target component within a short time by placing a cooling airbag inside the target component of the seat and delivering the coolant to the cooling airbag, so that when the user sits on the seat, discomfort will not be caused due to the too high surface temperature of the target component of the seat.

[0040] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the system further includes:

[0041] A temperature sensor 104, configured to send a high-temperature signal to a cooling controller when it detects that the temperature of the surface of the target component exceeds a first temperature;

[0042] A temperature reduction controller 105 is used to control the refrigerant delivery structure to deliver refrigerant to the temperature reduction airbag when the temperature reduction condition is satisfied, where the temperature reduction condition includes receiving the high-temperature signal.

[0043] In one embodiment, if the temperature on the surface of the target component exceeds the first temperature, it will make the user feel uncomfortable. For example, the first temperature is preset to 45 °C. When the temperature on the surface of the target component exceeds 45 °C, the temperature is relatively high, and at this time, there is a need to cool the target component. Therefore, the temperature sensor sends a high-temperature signal to the temperature reduction controller to trigger the temperature reduction.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first temperature can be set by the user himself. Different users have different temperatures at which they feel uncomfortable. Therefore, by adjusting the first temperature, the different needs of each user on each seat can be met.

[0045] In one embodiment, the temperature reduction controller sends a control signal to the refrigerant delivery structure, and then controls the refrigerant delivery structure to deliver refrigerant into the temperature reduction airbag to achieve rapid temperature reduction.

[0046] Through the temperature sensor and the temperature reduction controller, automatic temperature reduction can be achieved, bringing a better experience to the user.

[0047] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the system further includes: an air delivery structure 106 connected to the temperature reduction airbag;

[0048] wherein, the temperature reduction controller 105 is further used to: control the air delivery structure 106 to fill the temperature reduction airbag with air for the refrigerant to react with the air to achieve temperature reduction.

[0049] In one embodiment, inside the temperature reduction airbag, the refrigerant is a liquid refrigerant, which undergoes a vaporization reaction to absorb a large amount of heat, thereby achieving rapid temperature reduction. In this scenario, filling the temperature reduction airbag with air is beneficial to accelerating the reaction of the refrigerant, so as to achieve the temperature reduction effect faster.

[0050] In one embodiment, after controlling the air delivery structure to deliver refrigerant to the temperature reduction airbag for a preset duration, the temperature reduction controller starts to control the refrigerant delivery interface to deliver refrigerant. By waiting for the preset duration, a certain amount of air can be filled into the temperature reduction airbag, so as to better accelerate the reaction of the refrigerant. For example, according to the volume of the temperature reduction airbag and the delivery speed of the air, the time required to fill the temperature reduction airbag can be calculated and used as the preset duration.

[0051] In one embodiment, a pressure detector is provided inside the cooling air bag to detect the air pressure inside the cooling air bag, and when the air pressure inside the cooling air bag reaches a preset air pressure, a full signal is sent to the cooling controller. Subsequently, after receiving the full signal, the cooling controller controls the refrigerant delivery structure to deliver refrigerant to the cooling air bag. For example, if the preset air pressure is 1 standard atmosphere, when the air pressure detector inside the cooling air bag detects an air pressure of 1 standard atmosphere, a signal is sent to the cooling controller so that the cooling controller can control the refrigerant delivery structure to deliver refrigerant.

[0052] In one embodiment, the system further includes: an exhaust delivery structure 107 connected to the cooling air bag; wherein:

[0053] The temperature sensor 104 is further configured to send an exhaust signal to the cooling controller 105 when it detects that the temperature inside the cooling air bag exceeds a second temperature;

[0054] The cooling controller 105 is further configured to control the exhaust delivery structure 107 to discharge the gas inside the cooling air bag 103 when it receives the exhaust signal and / or the duration of the refrigerant entering the cooling air bag 103 reaches a preset duration.

[0055] When the refrigerant reacts inside the cooling air bag to cool the target component 100, the temperature of the cooling air bag will increase accordingly. The higher the temperature of the cooling air bag and the closer it is to the target component, the worse the cooling effect. Therefore, when the temperature inside the cooling air bag is relatively high and it is difficult to effectively cool the target component, it is necessary to discharge the gas with a relatively high temperature inside the cooling air bag at this time and re-deliver the coolant for cooling.

[0056] In one embodiment, the second temperature is less than the first temperature. When the temperature inside the cooling air bag exceeds the second temperature, an exhaust signal is sent to the cooling controller to discharge the gas inside the cooling air bag with a relatively high temperature and a relatively poor cooling effect, so that the cooling controller can subsequently re-control the refrigerant delivery structure to deliver refrigerant for cooling.

[0057] In one embodiment, the duration of the refrigerant entering the cooling air bag is determined, and when the duration reaches a preset duration, the cooling controller controls the exhaust delivery structure to discharge the gas inside the cooling air bag. It can be considered that within the preset duration, the refrigerant can achieve the best cooling effect inside the cooling air bag. If the preset duration is exceeded, the cooling effect of the refrigerant inside the cooling air bag is greatly reduced. At this time, the gas inside the cooling air bag can be emptied through the exhaust delivery structure so that the refrigerant delivered into the cooling air bag in the next round can achieve the best cooling effect.

[0058] In one embodiment, the cooling condition further includes: receiving a user permission signal, which is used to indicate that the user has a cooling requirement. Through the user permission signal, it can be ensured that cooling is only carried out when the user needs it, so as to avoid waste of refrigerant in other situations. For example, in summer during the day, the outdoor temperature is relatively high, and the vehicle is parked outdoors for a long time. At this time, the user goes indoors to work and does not plan to return to the vehicle in a short time, then there is no user's need for seat cooling. The cooling condition includes the user permission signal, which can prevent the seat cooling system from working in a senseless situation and reduce the loss of refrigerant.

[0059] In one embodiment, the user permission signal includes at least one of the following:

[0060] The cooling confirmation signal triggered by the user; the user can send a cooling confirmation signal to the cooling controller by performing a confirmation operation. For example, perform cooling confirmation through the application of the mobile terminal; start the vehicle seat cooling function; confirm that the pressure on the surface of the target component is relatively large through the pressure sensor, that is, when the user sits / leans on the seat;

[0061] The signal indicating that the start time of the cooling plan preset by the user has arrived; the user can preset the start time of the cooling plan to start the cooling plan at the set time; for example, according to the user's needs, the user can preset the cooling plan to start between 17:00 and 17:30 in the afternoon, and then send a corresponding signal to the cooling system at 17:00 in the afternoon;

[0062] The signal that the door is opened; when it is detected that the user opens the door from outside the vehicle, a user permission signal is sent to the cooling sensor;

[0063] The signal that the vehicle key is close to the vehicle; when it is detected that there is a vehicle key within the preset range of the vehicle, it indicates that the user may return to the vehicle within a short period of time, and at this time, a user permission signal is sent.

[0064] In one embodiment, when the cooling condition is satisfied, the refrigerant delivery structure delivers refrigerant to the cooling airbag in a first delivery amount; the cooling controller is further configured to: when only the high-temperature signal is received, control the refrigerant delivery structure to deliver refrigerant to the cooling airbag in a second delivery amount; wherein, the second delivery amount is less than the first delivery amount. When only the high-temperature signal is received, the cooling controller can deliver a smaller second delivery amount of refrigerant into the cooling airbag to avoid the target component temperature of the seat being too high due to no cooling for a long time, resulting in difficulty in achieving cooling in a short time. That is, two cooling strategies can be adopted: when the cooling controller receives the high-temperature signal and the user permission signal, it indicates that the user needs to achieve the cooling requirement in a short time. At this time, a larger first delivery amount of refrigerant is delivered to the cooling airbag to achieve rapid cooling; when the cooling controller only receives the high-temperature signal and does not receive the user permission signal, a smaller second delivery amount of refrigerant can be delivered to the cooling airbag to achieve slower cooling, which can avoid excessive consumption of refrigerant and prevent the target component temperature from being too high, making it difficult to quickly cool to a suitable temperature when there is a user demand.

[0065] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the system further includes: a thermal conductivity coating 108, the thermal conductivity coating 108 is disposed between the target component 100 and the cooling airbag 103, the thermal conductivity coating is composed of an alloy with good thermal conductivity, and the alloy includes at least one of the following: alumina, aluminum alloy, high-melting aluminum. Through the thermal conductivity coating, the heat transfer between the target component 100 and the cooling airbag 103 can be accelerated, so that the target component 100 can be quickly cooled.

[0066] In one embodiment, the target component includes a user contact layer in contact with the user; wherein, the surface of the cooling airbag facing the user contact layer is made of a heat-conducting material, and the other surfaces are all made of heat-insulating materials. Different surfaces of the cooling airbag are made of heat-insulating materials and heat-conducting materials respectively. Specifically, the surface of the cooling airbag facing the user contact layer is made of a heat-conducting material to facilitate the rapid conduction of the heat on the surface of the target structure of the seat into the cooling airbag; the other surfaces of the cooling airbag are all made of heat-insulating materials to reduce the heat conduction from other directions into the cooling airbag, resulting in waste of the cooling effect of the coolant. Among them, the heat-insulating material can be but is not limited to polystyrene foam and glass wool.

[0067] In one embodiment, the volume of the cooling airbag is 2.5 liters, which can adapt to the target structure of the seats of common vehicle models.

[0068] In one embodiment, the refrigerant includes at least one of the following: liquid carbon dioxide, Freon, and liquid nitrogen. Among them, when Freon is directly discharged into the air, it will pollute the atmosphere, so a corresponding recovery device is needed to recover Freon. The preferred refrigerant can be liquid carbon dioxide, which has a good cooling effect and is pollution-free after vaporization.

[0069] In one embodiment, according to the first temperature, the mass of the air filling the cooling airbag, the cooling capacity of the refrigerant, and the time required to achieve the desired cooling, the amount of the refrigerant to be delivered to the cooling airbag is determined.

[0070] The technical effects achieved by the present application will be further described below through a specific cooling process.

[0071] The volume of the used cooling airbag is 2.5 liters, the first temperature is 45 °C, and the refrigerant used is liquid carbon dioxide. Then, by filling 39.4 grams of liquid carbon dioxide into the cooling airbag, the temperature inside the cooling airbag can be quickly reduced to 5 °C. At this time, due to the large temperature difference between the target structure and the cooling airbag, through the heat-conducting coating and the heat-conducting material of the cooling airbag, the heat conduction efficiency is close to 100%, and the target structure will exchange heat with the cooling airbag until the temperatures are the same. After calculation, the final temperature of the target structure can reach (45 + 5) / 2 = 25 °C.

[0072] On the other hand, since this cooling process consumes less energy and can be repeated, the target structure of the seat can be continuously kept cool in hot summer, or by increasing the amount of liquid carbon dioxide sprayed, rapid cooling can be achieved in a short time.

[0073] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of a seat cooling method shown according to an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by the seat cooling system in the above embodiment. The seat includes a target component in contact with a user. The method includes:

[0074] S201: Determine the temperature on the surface of the target component;

[0075] S202: When the cooling condition is satisfied, trigger the delivery of the refrigerant to the cooling airbag provided in the target component to cool the target component; wherein, the cooling condition includes: the temperature on the surface of the target component exceeds the first temperature.

[0076] In one embodiment, the method can be performed by, for example Figure 1The seat cooling system shown is executed. The temperature of the surface of the target component 100 is determined by the temperature sensor 104; when the temperature of the surface of the target component 100 exceeds a preset first temperature, a high-temperature signal is sent to the cooling controller 105; the cooling controller 105 controls the refrigerant delivery structure 102 to deliver refrigerant to the cooling airbag 103 disposed within the target component 100, so that the refrigerant reacts, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the target component 100.

[0077] In one embodiment, the method further includes: triggering the delivery of air to the cooling airbag for the refrigerant to react with the air to achieve cooling. In the Figure 1 cooling system shown, the cooling controller 105 controls the air delivery structure 106 to deliver air to the cooling airbag 103 for the refrigerant to react with the air to achieve cooling.

[0078] As Figure 3 shown, Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of a seat cooling method shown according to an embodiment of the present application. The method further includes:

[0079] S301: Determine the temperature inside the cooling airbag;

[0080] S302: Trigger exhaust to discharge the gas inside the cooling airbag when the exhaust condition is satisfied; wherein, the exhaust condition includes at least one of the following: the temperature inside the cooling airbag exceeds a second temperature; the duration of the refrigerant entering the cooling airbag reaches a preset duration.

[0081] In one embodiment, in the Figure 1 cooling system shown, the temperature sensor 104 can determine the temperature inside the cooling airbag 103, and when this temperature exceeds the second temperature, send an exhaust signal to the cooling controller 105, so that the cooling controller 105 controls the exhaust delivery structure 107 to discharge the gas inside the cooling airbag 103; and / or, after the refrigerant delivery structure 102 delivers refrigerant into the cooling airbag 103, when the duration of the refrigerant inside the cooling airbag 103 reaches a preset duration, send an exhaust signal to the cooling controller 105, so that the cooling controller 105 controls the exhaust delivery structure 107 to discharge the gas inside the cooling airbag 103.

[0082] In one embodiment, the cooling condition further includes: receiving a user permission signal, and the user permission signal is used to indicate that the user has a cooling requirement.

[0083] Corresponding to the method embodiment of the present application, the present application also provides a corresponding seat cooling device embodiment.

[0084] Figure 4It is a schematic structural diagram of a device provided by an exemplary embodiment. Please refer to Figure 4 , at the hardware level, the device includes a processor 410, a network interface 420, a memory 430, and a non-volatile memory 440. Of course, there may also be other hardware required for other services. One or more embodiments of the present application can be implemented in a software manner. For example, the processor 410 reads the corresponding computer program from the non-volatile memory 440 into the memory 430 and then runs it. Of course, in addition to the software implementation manner, one or more embodiments of the present application do not exclude other implementation manners, such as logic devices or a combination of software and hardware, etc. That is, the execution subject of the processing flow is not limited to each logic unit, and can also be hardware or a logic device.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a block diagram of a seat cooling device in an embodiment of the present application. The seat cooling device can be applied to an electronic device as shown in Figure 4 to implement the technical solution of the present application. Wherein the seat includes a target component in contact with the user, and the device includes:

[0094] For the implementation processes of the functions and roles of each unit in the above-mentioned device, please refer to the implementation processes of the corresponding steps in the above-mentioned method for details, which will not be elaborated here.

[0095] For the device embodiments, since they basically correspond to the method embodiments, relevant descriptions can be referred to the corresponding parts of the method embodiments. The device embodiments described above are only illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated. The components shown as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place or distributed to multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this application. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand and implement it without creative efforts.

[0096] In the 1990s, it was obvious to distinguish whether an improvement to a technology was a hardware improvement (e.g., improvement to circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or a software improvement (improvement to method processes). However, with the development of technology, many improvements to method processes today can be regarded as direct improvements to hardware circuit structures. Almost all designers obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structures by programming the improved method processes into the hardware circuits. Therefore, it cannot be said that an improvement to a method process cannot be implemented with hardware entity modules. Those skilled in the art should also be clear that by simply performing logical programming on the method process with the above-mentioned several hardware description languages and programming it into an integrated circuit, it is easy to obtain the hardware circuit that implements the logical method process.

[0097] The controller can be implemented in any appropriate manner. Those skilled in the art also know that in addition to implementing the controller in the form of pure computer-readable program code, the method steps can be logically programmed to enable the controller to be implemented in the form of logic gates, switches, application-specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers, etc. to achieve the same function. Therefore, such a controller can be regarded as a hardware component, and the devices included therein for implementing various functions can also be regarded as the structures within the hardware component. Or even, the devices for implementing various functions can be regarded as either software modules for implementing the method or the structures within the hardware component.

[0098] The systems, devices, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments can be specifically implemented by computer chips or entities, or by products with certain functions. A typical implementation device is a server system. Of course, this application does not exclude that with the development of future computer technologies, the computers that implement the functions of the above embodiments can be, for example, personal computers, laptop computers, in-vehicle human-machine interaction devices, cellular phones, camera phones, smart phones, personal digital assistants, media players, navigation devices, email devices, game consoles, tablet computers, wearable devices, or any combination of these devices.

[0099] Although one or more embodiments of this application provide method operation steps as described in the embodiments or flowcharts, more or fewer operation steps may be included based on conventional or non-creative means. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is only one way among many execution orders of steps and does not represent the only execution order. When actually implemented in a device or terminal product, it can be executed in the order of the method shown in the embodiments or the drawings or executed in parallel (for example, in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment, or even in a distributed data processing environment). The term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, product or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, product or device. Without further limitation, there is no exclusion of additional identical or equivalent elements in the process, method, product or device including the said elements. For example, if terms such as first and second are used to denote names, they do not denote any specific order.

[0100] For convenience of description, when describing the above devices, they are divided into various modules according to functions for separate description. Of course, when implementing one or more of this application, the functions of each module can be implemented in the same or multiple software and / or hardware, or the modules implementing the same function can be realized by a combination of multiple sub-modules or sub-units, etc. The device embodiments described above are only illustrative. For example, the division of the units is only a logical function division, and there may be other division methods in actual implementation. For example, multiple units or components can be combined or integrated into another system, or some features can be ignored or not executed. Another point is that the couplings, direct couplings or communication connections shown or discussed with each other can be through some interfaces, and the indirect couplings or communication connections of the devices or units can be in electrical, mechanical or other forms.

[0101] This application is described with reference to the flowcharts and / or block diagrams of methods, apparatuses (systems), and computer program products according to embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that each flow and / or block in the flowchart and / or block diagram can be implemented by computer program instructions, as well as the combination of flows and / or blocks in the flowchart and / or block diagram. These computer program instructions can be provided to the processor of a general-purpose computer, a special-purpose computer, an embedded processor, or other programmable data processing devices to generate a machine, so that the instructions executed by the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing devices generate a device for implementing the functions specified in one or more flows Figure 1 or more flows and / or blocks Figure 1 or a device for implementing the functions specified in one or more blocks.
