Description

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a method and device for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, an increasing number of vehicles have been equipped with active grill shutters (AGS). Closing the AGS during driving can reduce the vehicle's drag coefficient, improving driving stability and fuel economy. However, this reduces the air intake of the vehicle's front-end cooling system, reducing the vehicle's heat dissipation capacity. This requires the cooling system to increase heat dissipation power, which in turn increases the vehicle's low-voltage energy consumption.

[0003] Current technical solutions typically obtain the vehicle's current operating state and determine the corresponding opening value based on a preset correspondence between operating state and opening value. However, adjusting the opening value of the active air intake grille using this method cannot guarantee that each adjustment will reduce the vehicle's overall energy consumption, affecting vehicle operating stability.

[0004] Therefore, how to ensure that the vehicle's energy consumption can be reduced and the stability of vehicle operation can be guaranteed after each adjustment of the opening value of the active air intake grille is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field currently need to solve.

[0022] Obtaining a second correspondence between the ambient temperature set according to the cooling performance, the driving speed of the vehicle, the opening value, and the energy consumption change;

[0023] According to the second correspondence relationship, a second energy consumption change corresponding to the current ambient temperature, a current driving speed of the vehicle, and the candidate opening degree value is determined.

[0053] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille, which can be executed by a processor of a terminal device when running a corresponding computer program.

[0054] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille provided in an embodiment of the present application. For ease of illustration, only the portion related to this embodiment is shown. The method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0055] S100: Determine a reference opening value of the active air intake grille according to the current operating state of the vehicle.

[0056] The reference opening value refers to the opening of the active grille determined based on the current operating state of the vehicle. Specifically, the current operating state corresponding to the influencing factors of the active grille of the vehicle is obtained, and the reference opening value of the active grille is determined based on the current operating state.

[0057] It is understood that factors influencing the opening of the active air intake grille include coolant temperature, engine temperature, oil temperature, vehicle speed, accelerator pedal position, water pump pressure, air conditioning status, and fan status. This embodiment does not limit the specific types of influencing factors, and the reference opening value of the active air intake grille can be determined based on a combination of multiple influencing factors. For example, in one actual operation, the coolant outlet temperature and fan operating power are obtained, and the reference opening value of the active air intake grille is determined based on the coolant outlet temperature and fan operating power.

[0058] S200: Determine a preset adjustment method and a preset adjustment value of the active air intake grille, and determine a candidate opening value according to the reference opening value, the preset adjustment method and the preset adjustment value.

[0059] The preset adjustment mode includes increasing the opening degree and decreasing the opening degree; the increasing opening degree means that the current opening degree value of the active air intake grille is greater than the opening degree value before adjustment after adjusting the opening degree value of the active air intake grille each time; on the contrary, the decreasing opening degree means that the current opening degree value of the active air intake grille is less than the opening degree value before adjustment after adjusting the opening degree value of the active air intake grille each time.

[0060] The preset adjustment value refers to the adjustment amplitude (change amount) when adjusting the opening degree of the active air intake grille; the specific value of the preset adjustment value can be determined according to actual needs. It can be understood that the greater the preset adjustment value, the greater the adjustment amplitude of the active air intake grille, the greater the adjustment change amount, and the more rough the adjustment of the active air intake grille; the smaller the preset adjustment value, the smaller the adjustment amplitude of the active air intake grille, the smaller the adjustment change amount, and the more accurate the adjustment of the active air intake grille.

[0061] In addition, the preset adjustment value can be a fixed value, that is, the adjustment amplitude of the active air intake grille is the same each time; or the corresponding preset adjustment value can be determined according to different base station opening degree values, that is, the adjustment amplitude of the active air intake grille can be different for different base opening degree values, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0062] The candidate opening degree value refers to the adjusted opening degree value of the active air intake grille initially determined, and it is further needed to determine whether to adjust the active air intake grille according to the candidate opening degree value. Specifically, after determining the preset adjustment mode and the preset adjustment value of the active air intake grille, the candidate opening degree is determined according to the reference opening degree, the preset adjustment mode and the preset adjustment value. For example, if the reference opening degree value is 60°, the preset adjustment mode is increasing the opening degree, and the preset adjustment value is 20°, the corresponding candidate opening degree value is 60°+20°=80°.

[0063] S300: determining a first energy consumption change amount corresponding to the wind resistance coefficient and a second energy consumption change amount corresponding to the cooling performance according to the candidate opening degree value.

[0064] In this step, after the candidate opening degree value is determined, the first energy consumption change amount corresponding to the wind resistance coefficient and the second energy consumption change amount corresponding to the cooling performance are determined.

[0065] It should be noted that during the driving process of the vehicle, the smaller the opening degree of the active air intake grille, the smaller the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle, that is, the smaller the energy consumption value corresponding to the power system of the vehicle; at the same time, since the smaller the opening degree of the active air intake grille, the smaller the air intake amount of the cooling system of the vehicle, the cooling capacity of the vehicle is reduced, and therefore the cooling system needs to increase the heat dissipation power, thereby increasing the energy consumption value of the cooling system.

[0066] Therefore, if the preset adjustment method is to increase the opening, the drag coefficient will increase, thereby increasing the energy consumption value of the power system, that is, the first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient is the increase in energy consumption value; correspondingly, the cooling system can reduce the heat dissipation power and reduce the energy consumption value of the cooling system. The second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling system is the decrease in energy consumption value.

[0067] If the preset adjustment method is to reduce the opening, the drag coefficient will be reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption value of the power system, that is, the first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient is the energy consumption value reduction; correspondingly, the air intake volume of the cooling system is reduced, and the heat dissipation power needs to be increased, which increases the energy consumption value of the cooling system. The second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling system is the energy consumption value increase.

[0068] S400: Determine whether to adjust the active air intake grille according to the candidate opening value based on the first energy consumption change amount and the second energy consumption change amount.

[0069] Specifically, after determining the first energy consumption change and the second energy consumption change, compare the magnitude relationship between the first energy consumption change and the second energy consumption change, and determine the corresponding energy consumption increase and energy consumption decrease of the vehicle after adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille according to the candidate opening value based on the comparison result, that is, determine the energy consumption change trend of the entire vehicle, and determine whether to adjust the active air intake grille according to the candidate opening value based on the energy consumption change trend of the entire vehicle.

[0070] It can be understood that if the energy consumption change trend of the whole vehicle is determined to be increasing according to the comparison results, it means that if the opening of the active air intake grille is adjusted according to the preset adjustment method and the preset adjustment value, the energy consumption of the whole vehicle will increase, so the active air intake grille is not adjusted according to the candidate opening value, and the baseline opening value is kept unchanged; if the energy consumption change trend of the whole vehicle is decreasing, it means that if the opening of the active air intake grille is adjusted according to the preset adjustment method and the preset adjustment value, the energy consumption of the whole vehicle will decrease, so the active air intake grille is adjusted according to the candidate opening value.

[0071] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille. After determining a baseline opening value of the active air intake grille according to the current operating state of the vehicle, a preset adjustment method and a preset adjustment value of the active air intake grille are determined, and a candidate opening value is determined according to the baseline opening value, the preset adjustment method and the preset adjustment value; a first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient and a second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling performance are determined according to the candidate opening value; since the effects of adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille on the drag coefficient and the cooling performance are opposite, one of the first energy consumption change and the second energy consumption change is an energy consumption increase and the other is an energy consumption decrease. This method predicts the corresponding energy consumption increase and energy consumption decrease of the vehicle after adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille according to the candidate opening value, and then determines whether to adjust the active air intake grille based on the energy consumption change of the entire vehicle. This can ensure that each adjustment of the opening of the active air intake grille can reduce the overall energy consumption of the vehicle, thereby ensuring the stability of the vehicle operation.

[0072] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further illustrates and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically, in this embodiment, determining a first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient and a second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling performance based on the candidate opening value includes:

[0073] A first correspondence between an opening value set according to a drag coefficient and an energy consumption change is obtained, and a first energy consumption change corresponding to a candidate opening value is determined according to the first correspondence.

[0074] It should be noted that the first correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change can be set in advance according to the drag coefficient, that is, the first correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change caused by the drag coefficient can be set; after the candidate opening value is determined, the first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient is determined according to the candidate opening value and the pre-set first correspondence.

[0075] More specifically, a correspondence chart or functional expression can be used to represent the first correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change caused by the drag coefficient, which is not limited in this embodiment. If a correspondence chart is used to represent the first correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change, after obtaining a candidate opening value, the energy consumption change corresponding to the candidate opening value is searched for based on the correspondence chart to determine the first energy consumption change.

[0076] According to the method of this embodiment, the first energy consumption change corresponding to the candidate opening value can be determined quickly and accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, obtaining a first correspondence between an opening value set according to a drag coefficient and an energy consumption change, and determining a first energy consumption change corresponding to a candidate opening value according to the first correspondence includes:

[0078] Obtaining a first corresponding relationship between a vehicle's travel speed, an opening value, and an energy consumption change set according to a drag coefficient;

[0079] A first energy consumption change corresponding to the current driving speed of the vehicle and the candidate opening value is determined according to the first corresponding relationship.

[0080] In this embodiment, the influence of the vehicle's driving speed on the opening of the active air intake grille is further taken into consideration, and the first correspondence between the vehicle's driving speed, opening value and energy consumption change is set in advance according to the drag coefficient, that is, the first correspondence between the driving speed, opening value and the energy consumption change caused by the drag coefficient is set; after obtaining the vehicle's current driving speed and candidate opening values, the first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient is determined according to the current driving speed, candidate opening values ​​and the pre-set first correspondence.

[0081] More specifically, a first correspondence between driving speed, opening value, and the energy consumption change caused by the drag coefficient can be represented using a correspondence chart or a functional relationship, which is not limited in this embodiment. If a correspondence chart is used to represent the first correspondence between driving speed, opening value, and energy consumption change, then after obtaining the vehicle's current driving speed and candidate opening values, the energy consumption change corresponding to the current driving speed and candidate opening values ​​is searched based on the correspondence chart to determine the first energy consumption change.

[0082] Table 1 is a first correspondence table of vehicle speed, opening value, and energy consumption change according to a drag coefficient provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] As shown in Table 1, if the baseline opening value of the active air intake grille is determined to be 60° based on the current water temperature, the corresponding candidate opening value is determined to be 80° based on the preset adjustment method of increasing the opening and the preset adjustment value of 20°. If the vehicle's current speed is 50 km / h, the first energy consumption change (energy consumption increase) corresponding to the drag coefficient is determined to be 0.008 (L / 100 km). That is, at the current vehicle speed of 50 km / h, if the opening of the active air intake grille is further increased by 20°, the vehicle's power system will increase energy consumption by 0.008 (L / 100 km). If the vehicle's current speed is 110 km / h, the first energy consumption change (energy consumption increase) corresponding to the drag coefficient is determined to be 0.075 (L / 100 km). That is, at the current vehicle speed of 110 km / h, if the opening of the active air intake grille is further increased by 20°, the power system will increase energy consumption by 0.075 (L / 100 km).

[0086] According to the method of this embodiment, the first energy consumption change corresponding to the current driving speed of the vehicle and the candidate opening value can be determined conveniently and accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille.

[0087] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further illustrates and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically, in this embodiment, determining a first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient and a second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling performance based on the candidate opening value includes:

[0088] A second corresponding relationship between the opening value set according to the cooling performance and the energy consumption change is obtained, and a second energy consumption change corresponding to the candidate opening value is determined according to the second corresponding relationship.

[0089] It should be noted that a second correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change can be set in advance according to the cooling performance, that is, a second correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change caused by the cooling performance can be set; after the candidate opening value is determined, the second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling performance is determined according to the candidate opening value and the pre-set second correspondence.

[0090] More specifically, the second correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change caused by cooling performance can be represented using a correspondence chart or a functional relationship, which is not limited in this embodiment. If the second correspondence between the opening value and the energy consumption change is represented using a correspondence chart, after obtaining a candidate opening value, the energy consumption change corresponding to the candidate opening value is searched for based on the correspondence chart to determine the second energy consumption change.

[0091] According to the method of this embodiment, the second energy consumption change corresponding to the candidate opening value can be determined quickly and accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille.

[0092] In a specific embodiment, obtaining a second correspondence between an opening value set according to cooling performance and an energy consumption change, and determining a second energy consumption change corresponding to a candidate opening value according to the second correspondence includes:

[0093] Obtaining a second correspondence between a vehicle's running speed, an opening value, and an energy consumption change set according to cooling performance;

[0094] A second energy consumption change corresponding to the current driving speed of the vehicle and the candidate opening value is determined according to the second corresponding relationship.

[0095] In this embodiment, the influence of the vehicle's driving speed on the opening of the active air intake grille is further taken into consideration, and a first correspondence between the vehicle's driving speed, opening value and energy consumption change is set in advance according to the cooling performance, that is, a first correspondence between the driving speed, opening value and energy consumption change caused by the cooling performance is set; after obtaining the vehicle's current driving speed and candidate opening value, the second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling performance is determined according to the current driving speed, candidate opening value and the pre-set second correspondence.

[0096] More specifically, a correspondence chart or functional expression can be used to represent the second correspondence between driving speed, opening value, and the energy consumption change due to cooling performance, although this embodiment is not limited thereto. If a correspondence chart is used to represent the first correspondence between driving speed, opening value, and energy consumption change, then after obtaining the vehicle's current driving speed and candidate opening values, the energy consumption change corresponding to the current driving speed and candidate opening values ​​is searched based on the correspondence chart to determine the second energy consumption change.

[0097] According to the method of this embodiment, the second energy consumption change corresponding to the candidate opening value can be determined quickly and accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille.

[0098] In a specific embodiment, obtaining a second correspondence between an opening value set according to cooling performance and an energy consumption change, and determining a second energy consumption change corresponding to a candidate opening value according to the second correspondence includes:

[0099] Obtaining a second corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature, the vehicle's speed, the opening value, and the energy consumption change according to the cooling performance setting;

[0100] A second energy consumption change corresponding to the current ambient temperature, the current driving speed of the vehicle, and the candidate opening value is determined according to the second corresponding relationship.

[0101] In this embodiment, further consideration is given to the influence of the ambient temperature of the vehicle on the opening of the active air intake grille, and a second correspondence between the ambient temperature, the vehicle's driving speed, the opening value and the energy consumption change is set in advance according to the cold cooling performance, that is, a second correspondence between the ambient temperature, the vehicle's driving speed, the opening value and the energy consumption change caused by the cooling performance is set; after obtaining the current ambient temperature, the current vehicle's driving speed and the candidate opening values, the second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling performance is determined according to the current ambient temperature, the current vehicle's driving speed, the candidate opening values ​​and the second correspondence.

[0102] More specifically, a correspondence chart or functional expression can be used to represent the second correspondence between ambient temperature, driving speed, opening value, and the energy consumption change caused by cooling performance, although this embodiment is not limited thereto. If a correspondence chart is used to represent the second correspondence between ambient temperature, driving speed, opening value, and energy consumption change, then after obtaining the current ambient temperature, the current driving speed of the vehicle, and the candidate opening values, the energy consumption change corresponding to the current ambient temperature, current driving speed, and candidate opening values ​​is searched based on the correspondence chart to determine the second energy consumption change.

[0103] Table 2 is a second correspondence table according to the ambient temperature, vehicle speed, opening value and energy consumption change provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0104]

[0105]

[0106] As shown in Table 2, if the baseline opening value of the active air intake grille is determined to be 60° based on the current water temperature, the corresponding candidate opening value is determined to be 80° based on the preset adjustment method of increasing the opening and the preset adjustment value of 20°. When the current ambient temperature is 30°C and the vehicle's current speed is 50 km / h, the second energy consumption change (energy consumption reduction) corresponding to the cooling performance is determined to be 0.04 (L / 100 km). That is, at the current vehicle speed of 50 km / h, if the opening of the active air intake grille is further increased by 20°, the cooling system energy consumption will be reduced by 0.04 (L / 100 km). If the current vehicle speed is 110 km / h, the second energy consumption change (energy consumption reduction) corresponding to the cooling performance is determined to be 0.06 (L / 100 km). That is, at the current vehicle speed of 110 km / h, if the opening of the active air intake grille is further increased by 20°, the cooling system energy consumption will be reduced by 0.06 (L / 100 km).

[0107] According to the method of this embodiment, the second energy consumption change corresponding to the current ambient temperature, the current driving speed of the vehicle and the candidate opening value can be determined conveniently and accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille.

[0108] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further illustrates and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically, in this embodiment, the reference opening value of the active air intake grille is determined according to the current operating state of the vehicle, including:

[0109] Obtaining current operating states corresponding to multiple influencing factors of the active air intake grille of the vehicle;

[0110] Determining candidate reference opening values ​​corresponding to the active air intake grille according to each current operating state;

[0111] The maximum value of the candidate reference opening values ​​is determined as the reference opening value.

[0112] In this embodiment, multiple factors influencing the vehicle's active air intake grille are determined, such as coolant temperature, engine temperature, oil temperature, vehicle speed, accelerator pedal position, water pump pressure, air conditioning status, and fan status. The current operating state corresponding to each influencing factor is then determined. Furthermore, a pre-set correspondence between the operating state and the opening value of each influencing factor is obtained to determine a candidate reference opening value corresponding to the current operating state. Table 3 shows the correspondence between coolant temperature and opening value.

[0113]

[0114]

[0115] After a plurality of candidate reference opening values ​​are determined, the corresponding relationships among the candidate reference opening values ​​are compared to determine the maximum value of the candidate reference opening values, and the maximum value of the candidate reference opening values ​​is determined as the reference opening value.

[0116] According to the method of this embodiment, a reference opening value of the active air intake grille is determined, and the reference opening value can ensure the heat dissipation demand of the vehicle and ensure the driving stability of the vehicle.

[0117] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further illustrates and optimizes the technical solution. Specifically, in this embodiment, a method for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille further includes:

[0118] After the vehicle is started, check whether the active air intake grille self-test is successful;

[0119] If the self-test is successful, the process proceeds to the step of determining a reference opening value of the active air intake grille according to the current operating state of the vehicle;

[0120] If the self-test fails, the maximum opening of the active air intake grille is determined, and the active air intake grille is controlled to remain open according to the maximum opening.

[0121] Among them, self-inspection refers to the operation of checking whether there is any fault in the active air intake grille and whether it can operate normally; a successful self-inspection means that there is no fault in the active air intake grille and it can operate normally; a failed self-inspection means that there is a fault in the active air intake grille and it cannot operate normally.

[0122] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is detected to be started, the active air intake grille is first controlled to perform a self-check and determine whether the self-check of the active air intake grille is successful. If the self-check is successful, the opening of the active air intake grille is adjusted, and the process proceeds to determine the reference opening value of the active air intake grille based on the current operating state of the vehicle. If the self-check fails, the active air intake grille is fault-handled based on the fault handling model of the active air intake grille, and the maximum opening of the active air intake grille is determined. The active air intake grille is then controlled to remain open at the maximum opening. For example, if the maximum opening of the active air intake grille is determined to be 60°, the control of the active air intake grille to open to 60° is stopped, and the active air intake grille is controlled to remain open at 60°. In this embodiment, corresponding operations are performed according to the self-check results of the active air intake grille, which can further ensure the effectiveness of the opening adjustment of the active air intake grille.

[0123] In order to enable people in this technical field to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described in detail below in combination with actual application scenarios. Figure 2 The flowchart of another method for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille provided in an embodiment of the present application and Tables 1 and 2 are shown. In an embodiment of the present application, the specific steps of the method for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille are as follows:

[0124] Step 1: After the vehicle is started, determine whether the active air intake grille self-test is successful; if the self-test fails, proceed to step 2; if the self-test is successful, proceed to step 3;

[0125] Step 2: Determine the maximum opening of the active air intake grille, and control the active air intake grille to remain open according to the maximum opening;

[0126] Step 3: Obtaining current operating states corresponding to multiple influencing factors of the active air intake grille of the vehicle;

[0127] Step 4: Determine candidate reference opening values ​​corresponding to the active air intake grille according to each current operating state;

[0128] Step 5: Determine the maximum value of each candidate reference opening value as the reference opening value;

[0129] Step 6: Obtain a first corresponding relationship between the vehicle's driving speed, the opening value, and the energy consumption change set according to the drag coefficient;

[0130] Step 7: Determine a first energy consumption change (energy consumption increase) corresponding to the current speed of the vehicle and the candidate opening value according to the first corresponding relationship;

[0131] Step 8: Obtain a second corresponding relationship between the ambient temperature, the vehicle's speed, the opening value, and the energy consumption change according to the cooling performance setting;

[0132] Step 9: Determine a second energy consumption change (energy consumption reduction) corresponding to the current ambient temperature, the current driving speed of the vehicle, and the candidate opening value according to the second corresponding relationship;

[0133] Step 10: Determine whether the first energy consumption change (energy consumption increase) is greater than or equal to the second energy consumption change (energy consumption decrease);

[0134] Step 11: If the first energy consumption change (energy consumption increase) is greater than or equal to the second energy consumption change (energy consumption decrease), it indicates that if the active air intake grille is adjusted to the preset adjustment value in the same preset adjustment manner, the vehicle's energy consumption increase will be greater than or equal to the energy consumption decrease, that is, the vehicle's overall energy consumption will further increase or remain unchanged. Therefore, the active air intake grille is controlled to maintain its current opening value, and the process returns to step 3.

[0135] Step 12: If the first energy consumption change (energy consumption increase) is less than the second energy consumption change (energy consumption decrease), it means that when the active air intake grille is adjusted to the preset adjustment value according to the same preset adjustment method, the vehicle's energy consumption increase will be less than the energy consumption decrease, that is, the vehicle's overall energy consumption will be reduced. Therefore, the active air intake grille is adjusted according to the candidate opening value, and return to step 3.

[0136] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for adjusting the opening of an active air intake grille. After determining a baseline opening value of the active air intake grille according to the current operating state of the vehicle, a preset adjustment method and a preset adjustment value of the active air intake grille are determined, and a candidate opening value is determined according to the baseline opening value, the preset adjustment method and the preset adjustment value; a first energy consumption change corresponding to the drag coefficient and a second energy consumption change corresponding to the cooling performance are determined according to the candidate opening value; since the effects of adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille on the drag coefficient and the cooling performance are opposite, one of the first energy consumption change and the second energy consumption change is an energy consumption increase and the other is an energy consumption decrease. This method predicts the corresponding energy consumption increase and energy consumption decrease of the vehicle after adjusting the opening of the active air intake grille according to the candidate opening value, and then determines whether to adjust the active air intake grille based on the energy consumption change of the entire vehicle. This can ensure that each adjustment of the opening of the active air intake grille can reduce the overall energy consumption of the vehicle, thereby ensuring the stability of the vehicle operation.
