Description

[0002] Due to the need for energy conservation and environmental protection, electric vehicles have increasingly entered our daily lives. However, with the popularization of electric vehicles, range anxiety has also begun to spread. Among the energy consumption of electric vehicles, thermal management accounts for a relatively high proportion, especially in winter operating conditions, where the vehicle's PTC power consumption can reach 7KW, greatly reducing the driving range.

[0003] Currently, vehicle manufacturers are also working to reduce the power consumption of thermal management systems, such as developing heat pump systems to reduce and decrease the use of PTC (Power Transmission Control) systems. Alternatively, they may use multiple damper motors and air conditioning units to control the airflow to different temperature zones in the vehicle. However, the air conditioning units that implement airflow control in existing technologies have complex structures, require a large number of damper drive motors, and are therefore costly. Furthermore, the airflow control achieved by opening and closing the dampers does not provide a good riding experience for users. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0049] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0050] In the following description, the use of suffixes such as "module," "part," or "unit" to denote elements is solely for the purpose of illustrative purposes and has no specific meaning in itself. Therefore, "module," "part," or "unit" may be used interchangeably.

[0051] See Figure 1 This application provides a vehicle air conditioning control method, which can be executed by a vehicle air conditioning control device provided in this application. The vehicle air conditioning control device can be implemented in software and / or hardware. In this embodiment, the vehicle air conditioning control method is applied to a server as an example. The vehicle air conditioning control method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0052] In one embodiment, the vehicle air conditioning control method provided in this application is mainly for the air conditioning host unit of the vehicle with the temperature damper located after the evaporator, and is used for energy-saving control of the heating mode of the vehicle air conditioning. In other embodiments, it may also include evaporator partitioning, temperature damper located in front of the evaporator, or partitioning function using air-heated PTC.

[0053] Step S101: Detect the passenger occupancy status in multiple temperature zones of the air conditioner.

[0054] Specifically, the number of air conditioning zones in the vehicle is first determined, including: for vehicles with a dual-zone air conditioning unit, the passenger compartment is divided into left and right areas; for vehicles with a three-zone air conditioning unit, the vehicle is divided into a driver's area, a front passenger area, and a rear seat area; for vehicles with a four-zone air conditioning unit, the vehicle is divided into a driver's area, a front passenger area, a left rear seat area, and a right rear seat area, etc. A occupant detection device is then installed to identify the occupant status in each of the determined air conditioning zones, determining whether any occupants are in each zone. This occupant detection device can be a seat occupancy sensor, which detects the weight of the driver's seat to determine whether any occupants are in each zone; alternatively, it can be an in-vehicle camera that performs facial recognition in each zone to determine occupant status.

[0055] Step S102: Adjust the working mode of the air conditioner in the temperature zone where no one is riding to the preset first adjustment mode.

[0056] Specifically, the detection results of the passenger status in multiple temperature zones of the vehicle are obtained. If there are passengers in multiple temperature zones of the vehicle, no adjustment is made; if there are at least one temperature zone in multiple temperature zones of the vehicle without passengers, the temperature zone without passengers is adjusted, and the working mode of the temperature zone without passengers is adjusted to the preset first adjustment mode.

[0057] In one embodiment, adjusting the air conditioner's operating mode to a preset first adjustment mode in a temperature zone where no one is riding includes:

[0058] The passenger status of the multiple temperature zones is detected by a polling method using a personnel identification device installed inside the vehicle.

[0059] If at least one of the multiple temperature zones is an unoccupied temperature zone, then the operating mode of the unoccupied temperature zone is adjusted to the first adjustment mode.

[0060] In the first adjustment mode, the opening of the temperature damper of the air conditioner located in the unoccupied temperature zone is adjusted according to the preset first energy-saving opening rule.

[0061] Specifically, a time interval for personnel detection is set, and the occupancy status of each temperature zone is detected and identified in a polling manner according to the set time interval. If at least one of the multiple temperature zones is unoccupied, the operating mode of the unoccupied temperature zone is adjusted to the first adjustment mode. The first adjustment mode involves adjusting the opening of the temperature damper to a size not preset. Generally, the opening of the temperature damper in the first adjustment mode is smaller than the normal damper opening. The specific implementation steps of the first adjustment mode are as follows: Figure 2 As shown:

[0062] Step S201: Turn on the air conditioner.

[0063] Step S202: Determine whether the air conditioner turns on automatically.

[0064] Step S203: Air conditioning manual control mode.

[0065] Step S204: Determine the passenger situation in each temperature zone of the vehicle.

[0066] Specifically, by analyzing the passenger situation in each temperature zone, it can be determined whether corresponding adjustments need to be made to each temperature zone of the vehicle.

[0067] Step S205: Determine whether to enter energy-saving mode based on the occupancy status of each temperature zone.

[0068] Specifically, if it is determined that there are people in each temperature zone, the energy-saving mode will not be entered and the temperature dampers of each temperature zone of the vehicle will not be adjusted; if it is determined that at least one temperature zone of the vehicle is not occupied, the system will continue to determine whether there is a heating demand.

[0069] Step S206: If there is at least one temperature zone with no passengers, determine whether there is a heating demand.

[0070] Step S207: If there is a current heating demand, the energy-saving mode will start automatically.

[0071] Specifically, the energy-saving mode can be a first adjustment mode, in which the opening of the temperature damper in the unoccupied temperature zone of the air conditioner is adjusted according to a preset first energy-saving opening rule. The preset first energy-saving opening rule can be a directly set opening size of the temperature damper in the unoccupied temperature zone, or it can be set according to the size of the vehicle's space, or it can be set according to the number of unoccupied temperature zones, to ensure the overall comfort of the vehicle's interior temperature. For example, in a vehicle with four air conditioning temperature zones, if three temperature zones are unoccupied, the opening of the temperature damper in these three temperature zones is set to 'a'; if two temperature zones are unoccupied, the opening of the temperature damper in these two temperature zones is set to 'b', where the opening of 'b' is less than the opening of 'a'; if only one temperature zone is unoccupied, the opening of the temperature damper in this temperature zone is set to 'c', where the opening of 'c' is less than the opening of 'b'.

[0072] Step S208: Automatic program in non-energy-saving mode.

[0073] Specifically, when there are passengers in all temperature zones of the vehicle, or when there is no current demand for heating, the vehicle enters a non-energy-saving automatic mode program, which does not adjust the vehicle's air conditioning temperature zones and continues to monitor the current passenger status of the vehicle.

[0074] Step S103: Obtain preset mode adjustment parameters, and adjust the working mode of the air conditioner in all temperature zones to the preset second adjustment mode according to the mode adjustment parameters.

[0075] The second adjustment mode includes a driver's side temperature zone sub-mode and a non-driver's side temperature zone sub-mode; the mode adjustment parameters include preset types of environmental information and real-time in-vehicle temperature, and the preset types of environmental information include environmental information that affects vehicle temperature, such as sunlight intensity and severe weather.

[0076] In one embodiment, obtaining preset mode adjustment parameters and adjusting the air conditioner's operating mode in all temperature zones to a preset second adjustment mode according to the mode adjustment parameters includes:

[0077] Based on the preset environmental information, the operating mode in all temperature zones is adjusted to the non-driver temperature zone sub-mode to correct the vehicle interior temperature.

[0078] Based on the corrected interior temperature, the operating modes of all temperature zones are adjusted to the preset driver's side temperature zone sub-mode to correct the temperature of the driver's side temperature zone among the multiple temperature zones.

[0079] Specifically, the system acquires preset types of environmental information in real time and adjusts the operating mode of the vehicle's non-driver's area temperature zone to a non-driver's area sub-mode. Here, the non-driver's area includes temperature zones where passengers are detected and temperature zones where no passengers are detected. After adjusting to the non-driver's area sub-mode, the system continues to acquire preset types of environmental information to correct the temperature in the non-driver's area. After adjusting to the non-driver's area sub-mode, the system detects the actual temperature inside the vehicle. Based on the detected interior temperature, the operating mode of the driver's area temperature zone is adjusted to a preset driver's area sub-mode. After adjusting to the driver's area sub-mode, the system continues to detect the interior temperature to correct the temperature in the driver's area.

[0080] In one embodiment, adjusting the operating mode of all temperature zones to the non-driver temperature zone sub-mode based on the preset environmental information includes:

[0081] Determine how the vehicle interior temperature responds to changes in the environmental information;

[0082] Based on the changes in the vehicle interior temperature in response to the environmental information and the preset second energy-saving opening rule, the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone of the air conditioner is adjusted.

[0083] Specifically, the system determines how the vehicle interior temperature responds to changes in environmental information, and judges whether the influence of environmental information on the vehicle interior temperature exceeds a preset temperature influence range. If the influence of environmental information on the vehicle interior temperature does not exceed the preset temperature influence range, the operating mode of all temperature zones is not adjusted to the non-driver's temperature zone sub-mode. If the influence of environmental information on the vehicle interior temperature exceeds the preset temperature influence range, the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the environmental information and a preset second energy-saving opening rule. For example, if the environmental information is sunlight intensity, the system detects the influence of sunlight intensity on the vehicle interior temperature and judges whether the damper opening of the vehicle interior temperature zone needs to be adjusted according to the sunlight intensity information. If the influence of sunlight intensity on the vehicle interior temperature exceeds the preset temperature influence range, the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone is negatively adjusted according to the current sunlight intensity and the set second energy-saving opening rule. The greater the sunlight intensity, the smaller the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone is adjusted.

[0084] In one embodiment, adjusting the operating modes of all temperature zones to a preset driver's side temperature zone sub-mode based on the corrected vehicle interior temperature includes:

[0085] Based on the corrected in-vehicle temperature and the preset third energy-saving opening rule, the opening of the temperature damper of the air conditioner located in the driver's seat temperature zone is adjusted.

[0086] Specifically, after adjusting the temperature dampers of the non-driving temperature zone to the first energy-saving mode and the non-driver's seat temperature zone sub-mode respectively, the adjusted interior temperature is determined, and it is judged whether the adjusted interior temperature exceeds the set adjustment standard value for the driver's seat. If the adjusted interior temperature does not exceed the set adjustment standard value for the driver's seat, the temperature zone of the driver's seat is not adjusted; if the adjusted interior temperature exceeds the set adjustment standard value for the driver's seat, the temperature damper of the driver's seat temperature zone is adjusted according to the interior temperature and the preset third energy-saving opening rule. Here, the lower the interior temperature, the larger the opening of the temperature damper of the driver's seat temperature zone is adjusted.

[0087] In one embodiment, the second adjustment mode in the vehicle air conditioning control method can be achieved through, for example... Figure 3 The specific embodiments shown will be described in detail.

[0088] Step S301: Obtain the preset mode adjustment parameters and correct the in-vehicle temperature.

[0089] Specifically, the preset mode adjustment parameters include sunlight intensity and real-time interior temperature, and the interior temperature is corrected based on the sunlight intensity and real-time interior temperature.

[0090] Step S302: Determine the sunlight intensity and decide whether to make corrections.

[0091] Specifically, the system detects the impact of sunlight intensity on the vehicle's interior temperature and determines whether the vent opening in the interior temperature zone needs to be adjusted based on the sunlight intensity. If the impact of sunlight intensity on the interior temperature exceeds the preset temperature range, the system adjusts the opening of the temperature vent in the non-driver's side temperature zone according to the second energy-saving opening rule set based on the current sunlight intensity. If the impact of sunlight intensity on the interior temperature does not exceed the preset temperature range, the system does not adjust the temperature vent. Simultaneously, the system continues to detect and determine the impact of sunlight intensity.

[0092] Step S303: Adjust the opening of the temperature damper (excluding the driver's seat) according to the sunlight intensity.

[0093] Specifically, when it is determined that the temperature inside the vehicle is affected by the intensity of sunlight beyond the preset temperature influence range, the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's area is negatively adjusted according to the intensity of sunlight. Specifically, the greater the intensity of sunlight, the smaller the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's area is adjusted accordingly, and the smaller the intensity of sunlight, the larger the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's area is adjusted accordingly.

[0094] Step S304: Determine the interior temperature and decide whether to adjust the driver's seat temperature setting.

[0095] Specifically, the system monitors the adjusted interior temperature in real time and determines whether it exceeds the set standard value for the driver's seat. If the adjusted interior temperature exceeds the set standard value for the driver's seat, the system adjusts the temperature damper in the driver's seat area according to the preset third energy-saving opening rule based on the interior temperature. If the adjusted interior temperature does not exceed the set standard value for the driver's seat, the system does not adjust the temperature in the driver's seat area, and at the same time, it continues to monitor the interior temperature and make judgments.

[0096] Step S305: Adjust the opening of the driver's side temperature vent based on the corrected interior temperature.

[0097] Specifically, when it is determined that the adjusted interior temperature exceeds the set standard value for the driver's side, the opening of the temperature damper in the driver's side temperature zone is negatively adjusted according to the current interior temperature. This includes: the higher the current interior temperature, the smaller the opening of the temperature damper in the driver's side temperature zone will be; the lower the current interior temperature, the larger the opening of the temperature damper in the driver's side temperature zone will be.

[0098] In summary, the vehicle air conditioning control method provided in the above embodiments, by distributing the seats in the vehicle to correspond to the temperature zones of the air conditioning unit, and adjusting and controlling the air conditioning unit in a first adjustment mode and a second adjustment mode respectively, helps to achieve vehicle energy saving while ensuring user comfort without changing the existing structure of the vehicle, thus saving costs and shortening the development cycle.

[0099] See Figure 4 This application provides a vehicle air conditioning control device, which includes a detection module, a first adjustment module, and a second adjustment module.

[0100] The detection module is used to detect the passenger status in multiple temperature zones of the air conditioner;

[0101] The first adjustment module is used to adjust the working mode of the air conditioner in the temperature zone where no one is riding to a preset first adjustment mode.

[0102] The second adjustment module is used to acquire preset mode adjustment parameters and adjust the working mode of the air conditioner in all temperature zones to the preset second adjustment mode according to the mode adjustment parameters.

[0103] In one embodiment, the first adjustment module is specifically used for:

[0104] The passenger status of the multiple temperature zones is detected by a polling method using a personnel identification device installed inside the vehicle.

[0105] If at least one of the multiple temperature zones is an unoccupied temperature zone, then the operating mode of the unoccupied temperature zone is adjusted to the first adjustment mode.

[0106] In the first adjustment mode, the opening of the temperature damper of the air conditioner located in the unoccupied temperature zone is adjusted according to the preset first energy-saving opening rule.

[0107] Specifically, a time interval for personnel detection is set, and the occupancy status of each temperature zone is detected and identified in a polling manner according to the set time interval. If at least one of the multiple temperature zones is unoccupied, the operating mode of the unoccupied temperature zones is adjusted to the first adjustment mode. The first adjustment mode adjusts the opening of the temperature damper to a size not preset; generally, the opening of the temperature damper in the first adjustment mode is smaller than the normal damper opening. In the first adjustment mode, the opening of the temperature damper in the unoccupied temperature zone is adjusted according to a preset first energy-saving opening rule. This preset first energy-saving opening rule can be a directly set opening size of the temperature damper in the unoccupied temperature zone, or it can be set according to the size of the vehicle's space, or it can be set according to the number of unoccupied temperature zones, to ensure the overall comfort of the temperature inside the vehicle.

[0108] In one embodiment, the second adjustment mode includes a driver's side temperature zone sub-mode and a non-driver's side temperature zone sub-mode; the mode adjustment parameters include preset types of environmental information and real-time vehicle interior temperature;

[0109] The second adjustment module is specifically used for:

[0110] Based on the preset environmental information, the operating mode in all temperature zones is adjusted to the non-driver temperature zone sub-mode to correct the vehicle interior temperature.

[0111] Based on the corrected interior temperature, the operating modes of all temperature zones are adjusted to the preset driver's side temperature zone sub-mode to correct the temperature of the driver's side temperature zone among the multiple temperature zones.

[0112] Specifically, the system acquires preset types of environmental information in real time and adjusts the operating mode of the vehicle's non-driver's area temperature zone to a non-driver's area sub-mode. Here, the non-driver's area includes temperature zones where passengers are detected and temperature zones where no passengers are detected. After adjusting to the non-driver's area sub-mode, the system continues to acquire preset types of environmental information to correct the temperature in the non-driver's area. After adjusting to the non-driver's area sub-mode, the system detects the actual temperature inside the vehicle. Based on the detected interior temperature, the operating mode of the driver's area temperature zone is adjusted to a preset driver's area sub-mode. After adjusting to the driver's area sub-mode, the system continues to detect the interior temperature to correct the temperature in the driver's area.

[0113] In one embodiment, the second adjustment module is specifically used for:

[0114] Determine how the vehicle interior temperature responds to changes in the environmental information;

[0115] Based on the changes in the vehicle interior temperature in response to the environmental information and the preset second energy-saving opening rule, the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone of the air conditioner is adjusted.

[0116] Specifically, the system determines how the vehicle interior temperature responds to changes in environmental information, and judges whether the influence of environmental information on the vehicle interior temperature exceeds a preset temperature influence range. If the influence of environmental information on the vehicle interior temperature does not exceed the preset temperature influence range, the operating mode of all temperature zones is not adjusted to the non-driver's temperature zone sub-mode. If the influence of environmental information on the vehicle interior temperature exceeds the preset temperature influence range, the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the environmental information and a preset second energy-saving opening rule. For example, if the environmental information is sunlight intensity, the system detects the influence of sunlight intensity on the vehicle interior temperature and judges whether the damper opening of the vehicle interior temperature zone needs to be adjusted according to the sunlight intensity information. If the influence of sunlight intensity on the vehicle interior temperature exceeds the preset temperature influence range, the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone is negatively adjusted according to the current sunlight intensity and the set second energy-saving opening rule. The greater the sunlight intensity, the smaller the opening of the temperature damper in the non-driver's temperature zone is adjusted.

[0117] In one embodiment, the second adjustment module is specifically used for:

[0118] Based on the corrected in-vehicle temperature and the preset third energy-saving opening rule, the opening of the temperature damper of the air conditioner located in the driver's seat temperature zone is adjusted.

[0119] Specifically, after adjusting the temperature dampers of the non-driving temperature zone to the first energy-saving mode and the non-driver's seat temperature zone sub-mode respectively, the adjusted interior temperature is determined, and it is judged whether the adjusted interior temperature exceeds the set adjustment standard value for the driver's seat. If the adjusted interior temperature does not exceed the set adjustment standard value for the driver's seat, the temperature zone of the driver's seat is not adjusted; if the adjusted interior temperature exceeds the set adjustment standard value for the driver's seat, the temperature damper of the driver's seat temperature zone is adjusted according to the interior temperature and the preset third energy-saving opening rule. Here, the lower the interior temperature, the larger the opening of the temperature damper of the driver's seat temperature zone is adjusted.

[0120] In summary, the vehicle air conditioning control device provided in the above embodiments uses a detection module to detect the occupants' seating situation in real time, a first adjustment module to adjust the vehicle temperature zone to a first adjustment mode based on the occupants' seating situation, and a second adjustment module to adjust the vehicle temperature zone to a lower adjustment mode based on the acquired parameter information. In this way, without changing the existing structure of the vehicle, it helps to achieve energy saving while ensuring the comfort of the users, which helps to save costs and shorten the development cycle.
