[0047] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0048] In this application, the terms "comprise", "contain", or any other variant thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements, but can also include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without more limitations, the element defined by the phrase "comprising a" does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.
[0049] Also, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, and the like, are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action, without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions.
[0050] As can be known from the background art, in the prior art, for the heat dissipation of the automobile, the automobile is usually cooled by adjusting the parameters of the engine fan and adjusting the parameters of the thermal management module. However, for a hybrid automobile, this cooling method only adjusts a few cooling components in the engine, and cannot meet the demand for rapid cooling of the whole vehicle.
[0051] In view of this, the present application provides a vehicle cooling control method and device and a vehicle. By adjusting the parameters of the equipment that needs to be cooled in different cooling modes, the parameters are adjusted to reach the target value of rapid cooling, so that each equipment reaches the maximum cooling degree, and the purpose of rapid cooling of the whole vehicle is achieved.
[0052] The present application provides a vehicle cooling control method, as shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a vehicle cooling control method, as shown in
[0053] S101: Perform the corresponding cooling mode in response to the cooling activation signal.
[0054] In S101, the cooling activation signal can be generated in various ways.
[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, when the user drives the vehicle for off-road driving or is about to drive off-road, the user can generate the cooling activation signal by touching the pre-set cooling key. The cooling key can be a physical key or a virtual key.
[0056] It should be noted that the user can set the key (cooling key) sound according to personal preference.
[0057] For example, the user can click the "super heat dissipation" icon on the head-up display system (HUT) interface of the vehicle to trigger the generation of a heat dissipation activation signal, that is, to trigger the entry into the heat dissipation mode described in the present application, so as to adapt to the deep off-road mode to be started by the user in advance, quickly cool the power component, and ensure that the power performance is in an optimal heat dissipation interval.
[0058] Specifically, the process of performing S101 is: in response to the heat dissipation activation signal generated by the user through touch of the pre-set heat dissipation key, the heat dissipation mode corresponding to the heat dissipation activation signal is executed.
[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the user can enter the system setting interface in advance to turn on the voice wake-up function. When the user drives the vehicle for off-road driving or is about to drive off-road, the user can generate a heat dissipation activation signal based on the voice wake-up mode, that is, trigger the entry into the heat dissipation mode described in the present application, so as to adapt to the deep off-road mode to be started by the user in advance, quickly cool the power component, and ensure that the power performance is in an optimal heat dissipation interval.
[0060] Specifically, the process of performing S101 is: in response to the heat dissipation activation signal generated by the user based on voice wake-up, the heat dissipation mode corresponding to the heat dissipation activation signal is executed.
[0061] Further, in an embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle is in an off-road working condition, a heat dissipation prompt information is triggered. The heat dissipation prompt information includes voice broadcast prompt information, and / or heat dissipation prompt information displayed on the human-computer interaction interface of the vehicle. The user is prompted to trigger the heat dissipation activation signal based on the heat dissipation prompt information. The user can trigger the heat dissipation activation signal through touch of the pre-set heat dissipation key or voice wake-up.
[0062] For the heat dissipation prompt information, in an embodiment of the present application, if the heat dissipation prompt information is voice broadcast prompt, it further includes:
[0063] Obtaining a volume adjustment request, and adjusting the volume of the voice broadcast prompt based on the volume adjustment request.
[0064] The volume adjustment request includes volume adjustment information with the whole vehicle system, volume adjustment information with the system prompt, volume adjustment information with the vehicle navigation, or volume adjustment information with the vehicle phone.
[0065] That is, the user can select the language and volume based on his own preferences in advance.
[0066] If the heat dissipation prompt information is the heat dissipation prompt information displayed on the human-computer interaction interface of the vehicle, similarly, the user can also select the text language, key tone, etc. based on his own preferences in advance.
[0067] For the way of determining whether the vehicle is in an off-road working condition:
[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, during the driving of the vehicle, the vehicle can collect driving environment data of the vehicle by using a data collection device, and perform scene analysis on the collected data to determine whether the vehicle is in off-road working condition. If it is determined that the vehicle is in off-road working condition, a heat dissipation prompt information is triggered to assist the user driving the vehicle, especially the novice driving the vehicle, to timely start the heat dissipation mode before entering the deep off-road mode, to provide better heat dissipation performance for the vehicle, and to improve the driving pleasure of the user.
[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, during the driving of the vehicle, the driving image of the vehicle is collected, and scene analysis is performed on the driving image to determine whether the vehicle is in off-road working condition. If it is determined that the vehicle is in off-road working condition, a heat dissipation prompt information is triggered to assist the user driving the vehicle, especially the novice driving the vehicle, to timely start the heat dissipation mode before entering the deep off-road mode, to provide better heat dissipation performance for the vehicle, and to improve the driving pleasure of the user.
[0070] It should be noted that during the driving of the vehicle, the driving image of the vehicle is collected by using a vehicle-mounted camera, a driving recorder and the like, and then objects in the driving image are recognized, and scene analysis is performed on the collected driving image by using the recognized objects, wherein the driving scene can include high speed, urban area, suburban area and the like. When the driving scene is in the suburban area, it is determined that the vehicle is in off-road working condition.
[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, during the driving of the vehicle, the tire data of the vehicle is collected, and the road flatness is analyzed to determine whether the vehicle is in off-road working condition. If it is determined that the vehicle is in off-road working condition, a heat dissipation prompt information is triggered to assist the user driving the vehicle, especially the novice driving the vehicle, to timely start the heat dissipation mode before entering the deep off-road mode, to provide better heat dissipation performance for the vehicle, and to improve the driving pleasure of the user.
[0072] It should be noted that during the driving of the vehicle, the tire data of the vehicle is collected by using a tire sensor, and the number of times of lifting of each wheel can be analyzed from the tire data. When the number of times of lifting of the tire reaches a preset threshold value within a certain time, for example, the tire is lifted 5 times within 20 seconds, it indicates that the road surface is very uneven and the road is rugged, and at this time, it is determined whether the vehicle is in off-road working condition.
[0073] In addition to the above user linkage, that is, the user triggers the heat dissipation activation signal autonomously or after being prompted, the present application also discloses a mode of automatically triggering the heat dissipation activation signal according to the vehicle running state information:
[0074] The specific process of performing S101 is: in response to the heat dissipation activation signal generated based on the vehicle running state information, a heat dissipation mode corresponding to the heat dissipation activation signal is performed.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle operating state information includes operating state information when the engine speed of the vehicle is greater than a preset engine speed threshold for a preset time length.
[0076] It should be noted that in the process of vehicle driving, the engine speed data of the vehicle is collected, and when the engine speed of the vehicle is always greater than a preset first threshold for a preset time length, it indicates that the vehicle is in a high load state at this time, and the temperature of each component may rapidly rise. At this time, the heat dissipation activation signal is generated and responded, and the heat dissipation mode corresponding to the heat dissipation activation signal is executed to strengthen the heat dissipation of the vehicle and cool the vehicle. The preset time length and the engine speed threshold can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the engine speed of the vehicle is always greater than three thousand revolutions in five minutes.
[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle operating state information includes operating state information when the driving time length of the vehicle is greater than a preset driving time length threshold.
[0078] It should be noted that in the process of vehicle driving, the continuous driving time length of the vehicle is detected, and if the driving time length of the vehicle is greater than a preset driving time length threshold, it indicates that the vehicle has been continuously driven for a long time, and each component is very likely to be in a high temperature state. At this time, the heat dissipation activation signal is generated and responded, and the heat dissipation mode corresponding to the heat dissipation activation signal is executed to strengthen the heat dissipation of the vehicle and cool the vehicle. The preset driving time length threshold can be set according to actual conditions, for example, 1 hour.
[0079] In the process of specifically executing S101, different controllers in the vehicle respond to the heat dissipation activation signal and execute the heat dissipation mode corresponding to the different controllers.
[0080] If the engine controller (ECM) responds to the heat dissipation activation signal, the currently executed heat dissipation mode is the ECM heat dissipation mode. In an embodiment of the present application, the ECM heat dissipation mode is executed, that is, S102 to S103 are executed. The ECM heat dissipation mode can also be referred to as the engine heat dissipation mode.
[0081] If the vehicle controller (HCU / PDCU) responds to the heat dissipation activation signal, the currently executed heat dissipation mode is the HCU / PDCU heat dissipation mode. In an embodiment of the present application, the HCU / PDCU heat dissipation mode is executed, that is, S104 to S105 are executed. The HCU / PDCU heat dissipation mode can also be referred to as the electronic heat dissipation mode.
[0082] S102: Obtain the first operating parameter of the vehicle.
[0083] In S102, the first operating parameter includes the engine water temperature and the engine intake temperature.
[0084] It should be noted that after triggering the ECM cooling mode, the current first operating parameter of the vehicle is obtained, i.e., the instantaneous first operating parameter, so as to understand the engine water temperature and engine intake temperature related to the ECM control when the vehicle is cooled. At the same time, the engine water temperature and engine intake temperature can also reflect the temperature of the main components such as the engine, motor, battery, etc. The higher the temperature, the more the cooling capacity of the vehicle needs to be strengthened.
[0085] S103: Adjusting the first parameter related to cooling in the first device based on the first operating parameter, so that the first parameter reaches the first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter preset.
[0086] In S103, the first device includes a device related to the first operating parameter when the vehicle is cooled. At the same time, the device related to the first operating parameter is also a device related to the engine controller performing cooling control. For example, the first device includes an electronic fan (FAN), a thermal management module (TMM), an electronic thermostat (KFT), an engine electronic water pump, and / or an intercooler water pump.
[0087] In S103, a corresponding relationship between the first operating parameter and the first target value to be reached by the first parameter in the first device is preset. The first control strategy based on the first operating parameter is established by using the corresponding relationship.
[0088] It should be noted that since the first operating parameter is dynamic, the first target value corresponding to the first parameter in the first device under different first operating parameters can be set as needed when preset.
[0089] In the process of specifically performing S103, the first parameter related to cooling in the first device is adjusted according to the first control strategy and the first operating parameter, so that the first parameter reaches the first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter preset.
[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, if the first device includes an electronic fan, the process of specifically performing S103 based on the first operating parameter to adjust the first parameter related to cooling in the first device so that the first parameter reaches the first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter preset includes:
[0091] Adjusting the fan duty cycle of the electronic fan to reach the target fan duty cycle corresponding to the engine water temperature preset.
[0092] Specifically, the first control strategy preset for the engine water temperature to the electronic fan is shown in Table 1.
[0093] Table 1:
[0094]
[0095] For example, the current engine water temperature is 85℃, according to Table 1, the fan duty cycle of the electronic fan is adjusted to 60% corresponding to 85℃ in Table 1 based on the engine water temperature of 85℃.
[0096] If the first device includes a thermal management module (TMM), the process of adjusting the first parameter related to heat dissipation in the first device based on the first operating parameter to reach the first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter in S103 is specifically implemented as follows:
[0097] The ball valve opening of the TMM is adjusted based on the engine water temperature to reach the target ball valve opening corresponding to the engine water temperature.
[0098] Specifically, the first control strategy preset by the TMM for the engine water temperature is shown in Table 2.
[0099] Table 2:
[0100]
[0101] For example, the current engine water temperature is 85℃, according to Table 2, the ball valve opening of the TMM is adjusted to 100% corresponding to 85℃ in Table 2 based on the engine water temperature of 85℃.
[0102] If the first device includes an electronic thermostat (KFT), the process of adjusting the first parameter related to heat dissipation in the first device based on the first operating parameter to reach the first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter in S103 is specifically implemented as follows:
[0103] The voltage value of the KET is adjusted based on the engine water temperature to reach the target voltage value corresponding to the engine water temperature, and the KET reaches the current maximum output duty cycle at the target voltage value and the engine water temperature.
[0104] Specifically, when the first control strategy of regulating the KFT based on the engine water temperature is preset, the maximum output duty cycle of the KFT at different water temperatures and different voltages needs to be considered, which is specifically shown in Table 3.
[0105] Table 3:
[0106]
[0107] Wherein, y is the voltage value of the electronic thermostat, unit: V; x is the engine water temperature, unit: ℃.
[0108] For example, the current engine water temperature obtained is 85℃, according to Table 3, the voltage value of KET is adjusted to 10V or 12V in Table 3 based on the engine water temperature of 85℃, which can ensure that KET can reach the current maximum output duty cycle of 100% at the voltage value of 10V or 12V and the engine water temperature of 85℃.
[0109] For example, the current engine water temperature obtained is 105℃, according to Table 3, the voltage value of KET is adjusted to 10V in Table 3 based on the engine water temperature of 105℃, which can ensure that KET can reach the current maximum output duty cycle of 29% at the voltage value of 10V and the engine water temperature of 105℃.
[0110] If the first device includes an engine electronic water pump, the process of specifically performing S103 of adjusting the first parameter related to heat dissipation in the first device based on the first operating parameter so that the first parameter reaches the first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter preset is as follows:
[0111] Adjusting the water pump duty cycle of the engine electronic water pump based on the engine water temperature to reach the target water pump duty cycle corresponding to the engine water temperature preset.
[0112] Specifically, the first control strategy preset for the engine water temperature of the engine electronic water pump is shown in Table 4.
[0113] Table 4:
[0114]
[0115] For example, the current engine water temperature obtained is 85℃, according to Table 4, the water pump duty cycle of the engine electronic water pump is adjusted to 60% corresponding to 85℃ in Table 4 based on the engine water temperature of 85℃.
[0116] If the first device includes an engine electronic water pump, the process of specifically performing S103 of adjusting the first parameter related to heat dissipation in the first device based on the first operating parameter so that the first parameter reaches the first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter preset is as follows:
[0117] Adjusting the water pump duty cycle of the engine electronic water pump based on the engine water temperature to reach the target water pump duty cycle corresponding to the engine water temperature preset.
[0118] Specifically, the first control strategy preset for the engine water temperature of the engine electronic water pump is shown in Table 4.
[0119] Table 4:
[0120]
[0121] For example, the current engine intake temperature is 45℃, according to Table 5, the water pump duty cycle of the intercooler water pump is adjusted to 85% corresponding to 45℃ in Table 5 based on the engine intake temperature of 45℃.
[0122] It should be noted that in the process of specifically executing S103, part or all of the devices in the first device can be adjusted according to the corresponding first control strategy. That is, the above adjustment process can be referred to while adjusting the parameters related to heat dissipation in the electronic fan, the thermal management module, the electronic thermostat, the engine electronic water pump and / or the intercooler water pump.
[0123] S104: Obtain the current second operating parameter of the vehicle.
[0124] In S104, the second operating parameter includes the coolant water temperature. The coolant water temperature is currently obtained in real time.
[0125] It should be noted that in addition to the engine, the heat dissipation of the battery and the motor of the hybrid vehicle also has a great influence on the heat dissipation performance of the vehicle. Therefore, in the process of executing the HCU / PDCU heat dissipation mode, the second operating parameter, i.e. the coolant water temperature, is used to determine and control the related parameters of the devices related to the coolant water temperature, so as to quickly drive the heat dissipation water pump of the battery and the motor to reach the maximum heat dissipation capacity of the battery and the motor, quickly cool down the power components, and ensure the heat dissipation performance of the vehicle.
[0126] S105: Adjust the second parameter related to heat dissipation in the second device based on the coolant water temperature, so that the second parameter reaches the second target value corresponding to the coolant water temperature set in advance.
[0127] In S105, the second device includes devices related to the coolant water temperature when the vehicle is dissipating heat. For example, the electric drive water pump, i.e. the heat dissipation water pump of the battery and the motor.
[0128] In S105, a corresponding relationship between the second operating parameter and the second target value to be reached by the second parameter in the second device is established in advance. The second control strategy based on the second operating parameter can be established in advance using the corresponding relationship.
[0129] It should be noted that since the second operating parameter is dynamic, the second target value corresponding to the second parameter in the second device under different second operating parameters can be set as needed when preset.
[0130] In the process of specifically executing S103, the second parameter related to heat dissipation in the second device can be adjusted according to the second control strategy and the second operating parameter, so that the second parameter reaches the second target value corresponding to the second operating parameter set in advance.
[0131] In an embodiment of the present application, if the second device comprises an electrically driven water pump, the process of adjusting the second parameter related to heat dissipation in the second device based on the coolant water temperature to reach a second target value of the second parameter corresponding to the coolant water temperature, which is specifically performed in S103, comprises:
[0132] Adjusting the water pump duty cycle of the electrically driven water pump based on the coolant water temperature to reach a target water pump duty cycle corresponding to the coolant water temperature.
[0133] Specifically, the second control strategy preset for the coolant water temperature for the electrically driven water pump is shown in Table 6.
[0134] Table 6:
[0135]
[0136] For example, the current obtained coolant water temperature is 50°C, and according to Table 6, the fan duty cycle of the electronic fan is adjusted to 95% corresponding to 50°C in Table 6 based on the coolant water temperature of 50°C.
[0137] It should be noted that, considering the influence of temperature on heat dissipation effect, whether the ECM heat dissipation mode shown in S102 to S103 is executed or the HCU / PDCU heat dissipation mode shown in S104 to S105 is executed, the parameter adjustment time can be preset according to the actual situation. The parameter adjustment time refers to the time required for each device (part) to adjust from the current parameter to the target value. For example, the higher the engine water temperature and engine intake temperature, the faster the electronic fan, thermal management module, electronic thermostat, engine electronic water pump and intercooler water pump need to be adjusted to the target value. Based on this, the preset parameter adjustment time can be increased in the first control strategy.
[0138] For example, when the engine water temperature is 90°C, the preset parameter adjustment time for adjusting the fan duty cycle of the electronic fan from the current value to the target value (85%) is 2 seconds. When the engine water temperature is 100 degrees, the electronic fan should be adjusted to the target parameter in a shorter time, so the preset parameter adjustment time is 1 second.
[0139] Similarly, the higher the coolant water temperature, the shorter the preset parameter adjustment time of the electrically driven water pump. Based on this, the preset parameter adjustment time can be increased in the second control strategy.
[0140] It should be noted that the ECM heat dissipation mode shown in S102 to S103 and the HCU / PDCU heat dissipation mode shown in S104 to S105 can be executed alone or in parallel. In general, parallel execution is that ECM and HCU / PDCU both respond to the heat dissipation activation signal, and then each executes the corresponding steps.
[0141] Further, the ECM cooling mode and the HCU / PDCU cooling mode can be exited when the whole vehicle is powered off, or the ECM cooling mode and the HCU / PDCU cooling mode can be exited based on a preset exit key or voice wake-up set by a user through touch.
[0142] In the vehicle cooling control method provided in the present application, a corresponding cooling mode is executed in response to a cooling activation signal; when the cooling mode is an engine controller ECM cooling mode, a current first operating parameter of the vehicle is acquired, the first operating parameter including an engine water temperature and an engine intake temperature; a first parameter related to cooling in a first device is adjusted based on the first operating parameter, so that the first parameter reaches a first target value corresponding to the first operating parameter and previously set; the first device includes a device related to the first operating parameter when the vehicle is cooling; when the cooling mode is a whole vehicle controller HCU / PDCU cooling mode, a current second operating parameter of the vehicle is acquired, the second operating parameter including a coolant water temperature; a second parameter related to cooling in a second device is adjusted based on the coolant water temperature, so that the second parameter reaches a second target value corresponding to the coolant water temperature and previously set; the second device includes a device related to the coolant water temperature when the vehicle is cooling. In the embodiments of the present application, the parameters of the devices that need to be controlled for cooling in different cooling modes are adjusted, so that the parameters reach the target values for rapid cooling, and thus each device reaches the maximum cooling degree, achieving the purpose of rapid cooling of the whole vehicle.
[0143] Based on the vehicle cooling control method disclosed in the embodiments of the present application, in an embodiment of the present application, before step S101 is executed, the following steps are further included:
[0144] First, it is detected whether a device in the vehicle has a fault, and if a device fault is detected, corresponding fault information is generated and fed back, wherein the fault information includes a device fault signal and fault prompt information, and the fault prompt information includes voice broadcast fault information and / or text prompt fault information.
[0145] Second, the response to the cooling activation signal is terminated or exited based on the device fault signal.
[0146] If no fault is detected, the step S101 disclosed in the present application is executed when there is a cooling activation signal. Figure 1
[0147] In combination with the above disclosed first device and second device, it is specifically possible to detect whether the water temperature sensor, electronic fan, engine electronic water pump, intercooler water pump and electrically driven water pump in the vehicle are faulty. If any one of the water temperature sensor, electronic fan, engine electronic water pump, intercooler water pump and electrically driven water pump is detected to be faulty, the engine controller or the vehicle controller generates corresponding fault information and feeds back the fault information, terminates or exits the operation of the response heat dissipation activation signal based on the device fault signal in the fault information, and voice broadcasts or displays "system fault, please try later" based on the fault prompt information, reminding the user that there is a device fault, avoiding the user from entering deep off-road with the fault, and causing other more serious consequences. At this time, the heat dissipation of the vehicle is executed according to the conventional control mode. Specifically, the electronic fan, engine electronic water pump, electrically controlled thermostat, intercooler water pump and electrically driven water pump are all controlled based on a more energy-saving control strategy, such as PID closed-loop control of the intercooler water pump based on actual intake air temperature, target intake air temperature, speed, load, ambient temperature, vehicle speed and other parameters, to meet the heat dissipation capacity on the basis of the lowest electric control.
[0148] Based on the above disclosed vehicle heat dissipation control method of the embodiments of the present application, for example, as shown in Figure 2 A system block diagram of the control method for executing vehicle heat dissipation is disclosed. The head-up display system (HUT) interface of the vehicle can perform human-computer interaction, and the interaction information is sent from the host computer to the engine controller (ECM) and / or the vehicle controller (HCU / PDCU) through the gateway (GW). The devices controllable by the ECM in the vehicle include the electronic fan (FAN), the thermal management module / electronic thermostat (TMM / KFT), the engine electronic water pump (EWP①) and the intercooler water pump (CACPMP). The devices controllable by the HCU / PDCU include the electrically driven water pump (EWP②).
[0149] After the user clicks the "super heat dissipation" icon on the HUT interface to trigger the generation of the heat dissipation activation signal, if the ECM receives the heat dissipation activation signal, the ECM acquires the engine water temperature and the engine intake air temperature, and performs the following operations according to the engine water temperature and the engine intake air temperature:
[0150] The ECM adjusts the fan duty cycle of the FAN based on the engine water temperature to reach the target fan duty cycle corresponding to the engine water temperature.
[0151] The ECM adjusts the ball valve opening degree of the TMM based on the engine water temperature to reach the target ball valve opening degree corresponding to the engine water temperature.
[0152] The ECM adjusts the voltage value of the KET based on the engine water temperature to reach the target voltage value corresponding to the engine water temperature, and the KET reaches the current maximum output duty cycle at the target voltage value and the engine water temperature.
[0153] The ECM adjusts the water pump duty ratio of the EWP ① to a target water pump duty ratio corresponding to the engine water temperature based on the engine water temperature.
[0154] The ECM adjusts the water pump duty ratio of the CACPMP to a target water pump duty ratio corresponding to the engine intake air temperature based on the engine intake air temperature.
[0155] If the HCU / PDCU receives the heat dissipation activation signal, the HCU / PDCU obtains the coolant water temperature, and adjusts the water pump duty ratio of the EWP ② to a target water pump duty ratio corresponding to the coolant water temperature based on the coolant water temperature.
[0156] In the vehicle heat dissipation control method disclosed in the present application, for the two different controllers of the ECM and the HCU / PDCU, after responding to the heat dissipation activation signal, the parameters of the devices for heat dissipation control are adjusted, so that the parameters reach the target values of rapid heat dissipation, and the devices reach the maximum heat dissipation degree, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling of the whole vehicle.
