Description

Technical Field

Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of automotive intelligence, air conditioning functions are becoming more and more intelligent, aiming to provide passengers with a better thermal comfort experience. However, the thermal comfort of passengers is affected by a variety of factors, among which the clothing index has a significant impact. Traditional air conditioning systems do not consider the influence of the clothing index. In order to improve the intelligence of air conditioning control strategies and the comfort of passengers, it is necessary to obtain the thermal resistance data of human clothing. However, the traditional method of obtaining the thermal resistance data of human clothing is to directly calculate the thermal resistance of clothing based on ambient temperature and wind speed, which results in a large error. Furthermore, since the calculation is performed in the vehicle system, it occupies the vehicle system memory, causing the vehicle system to run slowly.

[0061] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0062] Clothing thermal resistance refers to a parameter reflecting the thermal insulation performance of clothing. Different materials result in different thermal resistances. Clothing affects the evaporation of sweat from the skin, thus influencing the amount of sweat evaporated. Simultaneously, clothing absorbs sweat, causing a feeling of coolness, thus affecting the body's perception of heat. Furthermore, when the outside temperature drops, clothing also affects the conduction of cold air from the surrounding environment to the skin, thus affecting the body's perception of cold. Currently, to achieve intelligent air conditioning control, empirical formulas are often used to predict the thermal resistance of clothing for passengers in the cabin based on ambient temperature and wind speed, and the air conditioning is controlled accordingly. This method has a large error margin, and the calculations performed on-vehicle consume significant memory, leading to slow vehicle system operation. This invention provides a control method for a vehicle temperature control system that combines thermal environment conditions, initial clothing thermal resistance parameters, and metabolic rate information to control the vehicle temperature control system, thereby improving the accuracy of vehicle temperature control, reducing the computational burden on the vehicle, and increasing control efficiency.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a control method for a vehicle temperature control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0064] Step 101: Obtain thermal environment condition information;

[0065] Step 102: Determine the initial clothing thermal resistance parameters and metabolic rate information;

[0066] Step 103: Construct a clothing thermal resistance table using the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameters, and the metabolic rate information;

[0067] Step 104: Send the garment thermal resistance meter to the temperature control client; the temperature control client is used to control the temperature control system based on the garment thermal resistance meter.

[0068] In a specific implementation, the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to a temperature control server. The temperature control server can have a corresponding temperature control client. For example, the temperature control client can be an intelligent temperature control application of the vehicle in which the passenger is riding. The temperature control server can be a server corresponding to the intelligent temperature control application configured on the vehicle in which the passenger is riding. The temperature control client can communicate with the temperature control server through a network. The temperature control server performs data acquisition and processing. The temperature control server can match multiple vehicles.

[0069] In practical applications, a person's clothing is related to their environment. Furthermore, due to different climates, even at the same temperature, clothing can be influenced by other factors. For example, at the same temperature, rainy day clothing will prioritize waterproofing compared to sunny day clothing, such as choosing waterproof fabrics or plastic raincoats. Since different materials have different thermal resistances, determining the thermal resistance of clothing to control the temperature control system requires considering not only the impact of ambient temperature on clothing but also the influence of other environmental factors. Additionally, the human body's metabolic rate varies under different environmental conditions and during exercise. For instance, the metabolic rate decreases at low temperatures and increases during exercise compared to rest. Since the purpose of controlling the temperature control system is to provide passengers with the optimal cabin environment, metabolic rate should also be considered when determining the thermal resistance of clothing to control the temperature control system.

[0070] In a specific implementation, embodiments of the present invention can acquire thermal environment condition information; determine initial clothing thermal resistance parameters and metabolic rate information; construct a clothing thermal resistance table using the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameters, and the metabolic rate information; send the clothing thermal resistance table to a temperature control client; the temperature control client is used to control the temperature control system based on the clothing thermal resistance table. For example, acquiring thermal environment condition information can be composed of environmental information such as ambient temperature, solar irradiance, wind speed, and humidity of the vehicle's environment. Different condition information can be denoted as "Condition 1", "Condition 2", "Condition 3", etc., where the thermal environment condition information... Information can be collected by accessing local weather forecasts via the internet. The theoretical clothing thermal resistance that provides the best human thermal comfort (referring to a person's subjective satisfaction with the surrounding thermal environment) under different thermal environmental conditions can be used as the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. The metabolic rate of passengers under different thermal environmental conditions can be used as the metabolic rate information. For example, in the same passenger cabin, the driver's metabolic rate can be 1.2 MET due to driving operations, while the passenger's metabolic rate can be 1.0 MET while sitting. Then, a clothing thermal resistance table can be constructed based on the thermal environmental conditions, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter, and the metabolic rate information.

[0071] As a specific example of an embodiment of the present invention, the thermal resistance table for clothing can be as shown in Table 1.

[0072] Table 1:

[0073]

[0074]

[0075] Then, the thermal resistance meter readings from the clothing can be sent to the smart temperature control application configured in the passenger's vehicle. The smart temperature control application can directly control the temperature control system based on the clothing thermal resistance meter readings, such as adjusting the air outlet temperature of the smart air conditioning unit configured in the vehicle, and / or changing the air outlet direction, without needing to perform further calculations in the vehicle system. The smart temperature control application can individually control a specific air outlet of the smart air conditioning unit to adjust for a specific passenger, or it can control and adjust the entire system.

[0076] Of course, the above examples are merely illustrative. Those skilled in the art can use other environmental information as thermal environment operating conditions information, including but not limited to environmental information such as air pressure, wind direction, and illuminance. In this regard, the embodiments of the present invention do not impose any limitations.

[0077] In this embodiment of the invention, thermal environment condition information is acquired; initial clothing thermal resistance parameters and metabolic rate information are determined; a clothing thermal resistance table is constructed using the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameters, and the metabolic rate information; the clothing thermal resistance table is sent to the temperature control client; the temperature control client is used to control the temperature control system based on the clothing thermal resistance table, thereby achieving more accurate control of the vehicle temperature control system, reducing the computational burden inside the vehicle, and improving control efficiency.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments, modified embodiments of the above embodiments are proposed. It should be noted that, in order to keep the description brief, only the differences from the above embodiments are described in the modified embodiments.

[0079] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of constructing a clothing thermal resistance table using the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter, and the metabolic rate information includes:

[0080] Construct a human thermal comfort model;

[0081] The human thermal comfort model is used to determine human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information based on the thermal environment conditions information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameters, and the metabolic rate information.

[0082] Based on the human skin temperature information and the hypothalamic temperature information, dynamic thermal sensation parameters are determined;

[0083] The garment thermal resistance table is constructed based on the dynamic thermal sensing parameters.

[0084] In practical applications, the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus is the thermoregulatory center. Thermosensitive neurons in the POA can make corresponding adjustments to maintain the body's temperature homeostasis by sensing changes in external temperature. The skin, as the body's main heat dissipation organ, also plays a very important role in regulating body temperature. Therefore, in the process of improving human thermal comfort, introducing relevant considerations for the hypothalamus and skin can help to more accurately determine the comfortable temperature for the current state of the human body. At the same time, the DTS (Dynamic Thermal Sensation, which refers to the correlation between thermal sensation and the time derivative of mean skin temperature, core temperature, and mean skin temperature) model index can be used as a dynamic thermal sensation parameter.

[0085] In a specific implementation, embodiments of the present invention can construct a human thermal comfort model; using the human thermal comfort model, based on thermal environment conditions, initial clothing thermal resistance parameters, and metabolic rate information, determine human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information; based on human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information, determine dynamic thermal sensation parameters, and construct the clothing thermal resistance table based on the dynamic thermal sensation parameters.

[0086] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of constructing the garment thermal resistance table based on dynamic thermal sensing parameters may include: when the dynamic thermal sensing parameters are within a preset value range, generating a target garment thermal resistance parameter for the thermal environment conditions information; the thermal environment conditions information and the target garment thermal resistance parameter have a corresponding relationship; and constructing the garment thermal resistance table based on the corresponding relationship using the target garment thermal resistance parameter and the thermal environment conditions information.

[0087] For example, when the thermal environment information includes environmental information such as ambient temperature, solar irradiance, wind speed, and humidity of the vehicle's environment, denoted as "thermal environment," and the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is the theoretical clothing thermal resistance that provides optimal human thermal comfort for different thermal environment conditions, denoted as "clothing thermal resistance Icl," and the metabolic rate information is the passenger's metabolic rate for different thermal environment conditions, denoted as "metabolic rate M," the human skin temperature information, denoted as "Tsk," can be determined based on the human thermal comfort model according to the following formula 1. ,m And determine the hypothalamic temperature information, denoted as "Thy":

[0088] Formula 1:

[0089] Tsk ,m Thy = f(thermal environment, clothing thermal resistance Icl, metabolic rate M)

[0090] When human skin temperature information is Tsk ,m When the hypothalamic temperature information is Thy, the dynamic thermal sensation parameter, denoted as "DTS", can be determined based on the following formula 2:

[0091] Formula 2:

[0092]

[0093] F1=b1ΔT sk,m

[0094]

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] Optionally, after determining the DTS, this embodiment of the invention can determine whether the DTS is within a preset value range. For example, when DTS = 0.3, the preset value range is -0.5 to 0.5, that is, -0.5 ≤ DTS ≤ 0.5. Therefore, it can be determined that the DTS is within the preset value range. Then, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl" used to determine the DTS can be used as the target clothing thermal resistance parameter "target clothing thermal resistance Icl" for the thermal environment condition information "thermal environment" used to determine the DTS. The thermal environment condition information "thermal environment" and the target clothing thermal resistance parameter "target clothing thermal resistance Icl" can be in one-to-one correspondence. Then, based on the one-to-one correspondence between the two, a clothing thermal resistance table can be constructed using the target clothing thermal resistance parameter "target clothing thermal resistance Icl" and the thermal environment condition information "thermal environment".

[0098] Of course, the above is only an example. Those skilled in the art can use other indices besides DTS as dynamic thermal sensation parameters, including but not limited to PMV (Predicted Mean Vote). This invention does not limit this.

[0099] In this embodiment of the invention, a human thermal comfort model is constructed; the human thermal comfort model is used to determine human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information based on the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter, and the metabolic rate information; dynamic thermal sensation parameters are determined based on the human skin temperature information and the hypothalamic temperature information; when the dynamic thermal sensation parameters are within a preset value range, a target clothing thermal resistance parameter is generated for the thermal environment condition information; the thermal environment condition information and the target clothing thermal resistance parameter have a corresponding relationship; the clothing thermal resistance table is constructed based on the target clothing thermal resistance parameter and the thermal environment condition information according to the corresponding relationship, thereby achieving more accurate acquisition of clothing thermal resistance information corresponding to the passenger's optimal thermal comfort state, further improving the matching degree between the vehicle temperature control system and passenger thermal comfort.

[0100] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, it further includes:

[0101] When the dynamic thermal sensation parameter is greater than the maximum threshold of the preset value range, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is reduced according to the preset value to generate a first initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. The first initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is then used as the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. The steps of determining human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information based on the thermal environment working condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter, and the metabolic rate information using the human thermal comfort model are then executed.

[0102] In practical applications, when using the DTS (Dynamic Thermal Sensing) index as a dynamic thermal sensation parameter, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a DTS comfort scale provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. It can be seen that the overall DTS range is -3.0 to 3.0, corresponding from left to right to cold, cool, slightly cool, neutral, slightly warm, warm, and hot. When the value is 0, it is neutral, which is the most comfortable state perceived by the human body. The embodiment of the present invention can set a preset value range of -0.5 to 0.5, which is the DTS range based on the changes in the optimal thermal comfort state that the human body can perceive.

[0103] In practical implementation, the thermal environment information includes ambient temperature, solar irradiance, wind speed, and humidity of the vehicle's surroundings, denoted as "thermal environment." The initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is the theoretical clothing thermal resistance that provides optimal human thermal comfort under different thermal environment conditions, denoted as "clothing thermal resistance Icl." The metabolic rate information is the passenger's metabolic rate under different thermal environment conditions, denoted as "metabolic rate M." When the dynamic thermal sensation parameter is "DTS," if the dynamic thermal sensation parameter exceeds the maximum threshold of the preset value range, i.e., DTS > 0.5, then... Assuming that the dynamic thermal sensation parameter "DTS" determined by the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is too high, based on the current thermal environment and metabolic rate information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is considered too high. Therefore, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl" can be reduced by a preset value. For example, by a preset value of 0.5, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl" can be reduced to "clothing thermal resistance Icl-0.5" as the first initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. This first initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl-0.5" can then be used as the new initial... The initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is determined using "clothing thermal resistance Icl-0.5", thermal environment information "thermal environment", and metabolic rate information "metabolic rate M" to determine human skin temperature and hypothalamic temperature. Further, a new dynamic thermal sensation parameter, denoted as "DTS_1", can be determined using the human skin temperature and hypothalamic temperature information determined by "clothing thermal resistance Icl-0.5", thermal environment information "thermal environment", and metabolic rate information "metabolic rate M". Then, it is determined whether "DTS_1" is within the preset value range of -0.5 to 0.5. If " If "DTS_1" is greater than 0.5, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl-0.5" can be reduced to "clothing thermal resistance Icl-1" according to the preset value of 0.5. This process is repeated until "DTS_n" is within the preset value range. Then, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl-0.5n" corresponding to "DTS_n" within the preset value range can be used as the target clothing thermal resistance parameter. The clothing thermal resistance table is then constructed using the target clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl-0.5n" and the thermal environment information "thermal environment".

[0104] In this embodiment of the invention, when the dynamic thermal sensing parameter is greater than the maximum threshold of the preset value range, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is reduced by a preset value to generate a first initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. This first initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is then used as the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. The step of determining human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information based on the human thermal comfort model, the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter, and the metabolic rate information is then executed. This achieves the reduction of the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter based on the dynamic thermal sensing parameter and the maximum threshold of the preset value range, further refining the clothing thermal resistance information corresponding to the passenger's optimal thermal comfort state, and effectively improving the matching degree between the vehicle temperature control system and passenger thermal comfort.

[0105] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, it further includes:

[0106] When the dynamic thermal sensation parameter is less than the minimum threshold of the preset value range, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is increased by the preset value to generate a second initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. The second initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is then used as the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. The step of determining human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information based on the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter, and the metabolic rate information using the human thermal comfort model is then executed.

[0107] In practical applications, the embodiments of the present invention can set a preset numerical range of -0.5 to 0.5, which is the DTS range based on the optimal thermal comfort state change that can be perceived by the human body.

[0108] In practical implementation, the thermal environment information includes ambient temperature, solar irradiance, wind speed, and humidity of the vehicle's surroundings, denoted as "thermal environment." The initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is the theoretical clothing thermal resistance that provides optimal human thermal comfort under different thermal environment conditions, denoted as "clothing thermal resistance Icl." The metabolic rate information is the passenger's metabolic rate under different thermal environment conditions, denoted as "metabolic rate M." When the dynamic thermal sensation parameter is "DTS," if the dynamic thermal sensation parameter is less than the minimum threshold of the preset value range, i.e., DTS < -0.5, then... Assuming that the dynamic thermal sensation parameter "DTS" determined by the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is too cold under the current thermal environment and metabolic rate information, meaning the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter value is too small, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl" can be increased by a preset value. For example, by a preset value of 0.5, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl" can be increased to "clothing thermal resistance Icl + 0.5" as the second initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. This second initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl + 0.5" can then be used as the new initial... The initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is determined using "clothing thermal resistance Icl+0.5", thermal environment information "thermal environment", and metabolic rate information "metabolic rate M" to determine human skin temperature and hypothalamic temperature. Further, a new dynamic thermal sensation parameter, denoted as "DTS_1", can be determined using the human skin temperature and hypothalamic temperature information determined by "clothing thermal resistance Icl+0.5", thermal environment information "thermal environment", and metabolic rate information "metabolic rate M". Then, it is determined whether "DTS_1" is within the preset value range of -0.5 to 0.5. If "D..." If TS_1 is less than -0.5, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl+0.5" can be increased to "clothing thermal resistance Icl+1" according to the preset value of 0.5. This process is repeated until "DTS_n" is within the preset value range. Then, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl+0.5n" corresponding to "DTS_n" within the preset value range can be used as the target clothing thermal resistance parameter. The clothing thermal resistance table is then constructed using the target clothing thermal resistance parameter "clothing thermal resistance Icl+0.5n" and the thermal environment condition information "thermal environment".

[0109] In this embodiment of the invention, when the dynamic thermal sensing parameter is less than the minimum threshold of the preset value range, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is increased by a preset value to generate a second initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. This second initial clothing thermal resistance parameter is then used as the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter. The step of determining human skin temperature information and hypothalamic temperature information based on the human thermal comfort model, the thermal environment condition information, the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter, and the metabolic rate information is then executed. This achieves the goal of increasing the initial clothing thermal resistance parameter based on the dynamic thermal sensing parameter and the minimum threshold of the preset value range, further refining the clothing thermal resistance information corresponding to the passenger's optimal thermal comfort state, and effectively improving the matching degree between the vehicle temperature control system and passenger thermal comfort.

[0110] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the human thermal comfort model includes a physiological model and a psychological model.

[0111] In practical applications, factors influencing human thermal comfort include physiological and psychological factors. Heat exchange between the human body and the environment affects physiological activities, which in turn influence psychological activities, leading to thermal sensation. Conversely, psychological activities also influence physiological activities to some extent. For example, physiologically, the body's perception of hot and cold changes due to variations in skin temperature, skin humidity, perspiration rate, and blood pressure. Psychologically, thermal comfort is also influenced by subjective feelings. For instance, when a person is under stress, increased blood circulation and elevated skin temperature occur. Therefore, physiological and psychological factors are mutually influential and interconnected in the process of thermal comfort perception. Combining both factors significantly aids in the analysis of human thermal comfort.

[0112] In specific implementations, the human thermal comfort model in this invention embodiment may include a physiological model and a psychological model. For example, the physiological model can be used to analyze a person's physiological information. For instance, a person's skin temperature varies at different times. In the early morning, a person's skin temperature is lower and the metabolic rate is lower, while in the afternoon, the skin temperature is usually the highest and the person is in a high metabolic rate state. The physiological model can be used to analyze a person's psychological information. For instance, a driver is usually in a state of concentration while driving, while a passenger is more relaxed than the driver while riding in the car.

[0113] In this embodiment of the invention, by including a physiological model and a psychological model in the human thermal comfort model, the model system for analyzing human thermal comfort is further improved, the accuracy of clothing thermal resistance is further enhanced, more accurate control of the vehicle temperature control system is achieved, and the user experience is optimized.

[0114] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, a complete example is provided below to illustrate the embodiments of the present invention.

[0115] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of generating target clothing thermal resistance parameters provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as detailed below:

[0116] Assuming the thermal resistance of the passenger's clothing is the most comfortable for the current thermal environment, i.e., the optimal state of human thermal comfort, the passenger's clothing index, i.e., clothing thermal resistance, is mainly related to local environmental information such as ambient temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, and humidity. Common combinations of different thermal environment conditions are selected, and this information is input into the human thermal comfort calculation model, along with the predicted value of clothing thermal resistance. The human thermal comfort model is a high-precision model combining physiological and psychological models. By inputting thermal environment variables, clothing thermal resistance, and metabolic rate, the human skin temperature Tsk is first calculated. m The hypothalamic temperature (Thy) is calculated using Formula 1 below to determine the human skin temperature information, denoted as "Tsk". ,m And determine the hypothalamic temperature information, denoted as "Thy":

[0117] Formula 1:

[0118] Tsk ,m Thy = f(thermal environment, clothing thermal resistance Icl, metabolic rate M)

[0119] When human skin temperature information is Tsk ,m When the hypothalamic temperature information is Thy, the dynamic thermal sensation parameter, denoted as "DTS", can be determined based on the following formula 2:

[0120] Formula 2:

[0121]

[0122] F1=b1ΔT sk,m

[0123]

[0124]

[0125]

[0126] Analyze the results of the first round of calculations: If the result shows DTS > 0.5, it indicates that the thermal comfort result is relatively hot, and the selected clothing thermal resistance is relatively high. Reduce the clothing thermal resistance and recalculate. If the result shows DTS < -0.5, it indicates that the thermal comfort result is relatively cold, and the selected clothing thermal resistance is relatively low. Increase the clothing thermal resistance and recalculate. If the result shows -0.5 ≤ DTS ≤ 0.5, it indicates that the thermal comfort result is relatively comfortable, and retain the output of the clothing thermal resistance for the current working condition. Similarly, perform the clothing thermal resistance calculation for the next working condition. Once all working condition calculations are completed, a map table of clothing thermal resistance and thermal environment will be generated.

[0127] Secondly, there's the in-vehicle application. After the system starts, it obtains data on the vehicle's ambient temperature, solar irradiance, wind speed, and humidity from weather forecasts. This information is then input into a map table of clothing thermal resistance and the thermal environment to obtain thermal resistance data for passenger clothing in the passenger cabin under different thermal conditions.

[0128] As a specific example of an embodiment of the present invention, the map table of clothing thermal resistance and thermal environment can be as follows.

[0129] Table 1:

[0130]

[0131] Based on the obtained thermal resistance values ​​of clothing under different thermal environments, a set of values ​​is generated and used as the input values ​​for the air conditioner controller.

[0132] By employing the above method and combining comfort model algorithms with meteorological data, the thermal resistance of passenger clothing in the passenger compartment can be quickly obtained by looking up a table without calculation after boarding the vehicle. This provides information input for the intelligent air conditioning control strategy, solving the problem of large errors in the traditional positive prediction of clothing thermal resistance using empirical formulas. Based on the predicted clothing thermal resistance, the comfort model is accurately verified and corrected to find the accurate clothing thermal resistance value, thereby better controlling the vehicle temperature control system.

[0133] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the described order of actions, because according to the embodiments of the present invention, some steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously.
