[0034] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0035] In existing technologies, humidifiers separately installed in vehicles require users to constantly monitor the water level and manually add water, making them inconvenient to use and potentially affecting the user's driving experience. To address these issues, this disclosure provides a vehicle humidification system integrated with the entire vehicle. This system collects water generated by the vehicle's water purification equipment and delivers it to the humidifier, automatically adding water to the humidifier.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown in the schematic diagram of a vehicle humidification system provided in this embodiment, the vehicle humidification system may include: a first water pump 2, a water storage device 3, a second water pump 4, a three-way valve 5, and a humidifier 6. One end of the water storage device 3 is connected to the vehicle water production device 1 via the first water pump 2, and the other end of the water storage device 3 is connected to the first end of the three-way valve 5 via the second water pump 4. The second end of the three-way valve 5 is connected to the humidifier 6.

[0037] The vehicle humidification system provided in this embodiment connects the water storage device 3 to the humidifier 6 via a three-way valve 5. This facilitates the replacement of water in the water storage device 3 according to actual needs, preventing the water in the storage device 3 from accumulating pollutants due to prolonged storage. This improves the quality of the water supplied to the humidifier 6, thereby enhancing the humidification effect of the humidifier 6 and improving the user's driving experience. At the same time, it reduces the filtration pressure on the filter equipment and the humidifier 6, extending their service life.

[0038] Among them, the vehicle water production equipment 1 can be a device that produces water on a vehicle.

[0039] Optionally, the vehicle water production device 1 may include the vehicle's fuel cell stack and / or onboard air conditioner. The vehicle humidification system provided in this embodiment can collect liquid, gaseous, and gas-liquid mixtures of water generated during the chemical reaction process of the vehicle's fuel cell stack, and can also collect condensate generated by the onboard air conditioner.

By setting the first preset control cycle, this embodiment of the present disclosure can periodically transmit the water produced by the vehicle water-making device 1 to the water storage device 3, avoiding malfunctions caused by water circulating into the vehicle water-making device 1, and ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle water-making device 1.

[0043] Optionally, in this embodiment, a third water level can be obtained in the water storage device 3. If the third water level is lower than a third preset water level threshold, the first water pump 2 is controlled to start, so that the water generated by the vehicle water production device 1 is transported to the water storage device 3. The third preset water level threshold can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, if the third water level is detected to be lower than the third preset water level threshold in real time, the first water pump 2 is controlled to start, and the water generated by the vehicle water production device 1 is transported to the water storage device 3 for storage via the first water pump 2.

[0044] This embodiment of the present disclosure sets a third preset water level threshold to indicate the critical water level at which water needs to be added to the water storage device 3, which helps to deliver the water generated by the vehicle water production device 1 to the water storage device 3 in a timely manner, ensuring that the humidifier 6 can obtain enough water for humidification.

[0045] Optionally, a first water level sensor is provided in the water storage device 3. This embodiment of the present disclosure can obtain the water level information of the water storage device 3 in real time through the first water level sensor, and determine the water volume in the water storage device 3.

Based on the amount of water entering and leaving the water, and the amount of water stored in the water storage device 3, the water level information of the water storage device 3 can be determined in real time. In this embodiment, the real-time data from the first and second flow sensors can determine whether the inlet and outlet ends of the water storage device 3 are faulty, and accurately locate the fault position.

[0047] S200, obtain the first water level of humidifier 6.

[0048] Optionally, a second water level sensor may be provided in the humidifier 6. In this embodiment, the water level information of the humidifier 6 can be obtained in real time through the second water level sensor, thus determining the amount of water in the humidifier 6. This embodiment of the present disclosure can accurately obtain the water level of the humidifier 6 through the second water level sensor.

[0049] Optionally, a third flow sensor is provided at the connection between the three-way valve 5 and the humidifier 6.

[0051] The first preset water level threshold can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, if the first water level is detected to be lower than the first preset water level threshold in real time, the second water pump 4 is controlled to start, and water from the water storage device 3 is transported to the three-way valve 5 by the second water pump 4. The second end of the three-way valve 5 is then opened to allow water from the water storage device 3 to be delivered to the humidifier 6. By setting the first preset water level threshold, this embodiment indicates the critical water level at which water needs to be added to the humidifier 6, which helps to promptly deliver water from the water storage device 3 to the humidifier 6, ensuring that the humidifier 6 can continuously humidify the vehicle interior.

[0052] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the third end of the three-way valve 5 can be closed when the first water level is lower than the first preset water level threshold. By controlling the closure of the third end of the three-way valve 5, this embodiment of the present disclosure can prevent water from flowing out from the third end of the three-way valve 5, accelerate the rate at which water is added to the humidifier 6, and help to promptly deliver water from the water storage device 3 to the humidifier 6, ensuring that the humidifier 6 can obtain enough water for humidification.

[0053] Optionally, the first end of the three-way valve 5 can always be in the open state. In this embodiment, the first end of the three-way valve 5 can also be controlled to open when the first water level is lower than a first preset water level threshold.

[0054] Optionally, the atomizing outlet of the humidifier 6 can be set at the air conditioning vent inside the vehicle, so that the humidifier 6 can humidify the interior of the vehicle in accordance with the airflow direction and output volume of the air conditioning vent.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a humidifier 6 can be configured for each air conditioning vent inside the vehicle, with the atomizing outlet of the humidifier 6 located at the corresponding air conditioning vent. By configuring an independent humidifier 6 for each air conditioning vent, this embodiment of the present disclosure allows passengers to determine whether to turn on the corresponding humidifier 6 to humidify the seating area according to their own needs, achieving differentiated humidification for different seating areas inside the vehicle and reducing vehicle energy consumption.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a shared humidifier 6 can be configured for each air conditioning vent inside the vehicle. This humidifier 6 includes multiple atomizing outlets, each located at a different air conditioning vent inside the vehicle. By configuring a shared humidifier 6 for each air conditioning vent, this embodiment of the present disclosure facilitates the installation of the humidifier in the vehicle and aids in the routine maintenance and upkeep of the humidifier 6.

[0057] The vehicle humidification control method disclosed herein can be applied to a vehicle humidification system, which includes: a first water pump 2, a water storage device 3, a second water pump 4, a three-way valve 5, and a humidifier 6. One end of the water storage device 3 is connected to a vehicle water-generating device 1 via the first water pump 2, and the other end of the water storage device 3 is connected to the first end of the three-way valve 5 via the second water pump 4. The second end of the three-way valve 5 is connected to the humidifier 6. The method includes: controlling the first water pump 2 to open so that water generated by the vehicle water-generating device 1 is delivered to the water storage device 3; obtaining a first water level in the humidifier 6; and, when the first water level is lower than a first preset water level threshold, controlling the second end of the second water pump 4 and the three-way valve 5 to open so that water in the water storage device 3 is delivered to the humidifier 6, thereby humidifying the interior of the vehicle through the humidifier 6.

[0058] Optionally, the third end of the three-way valve 5 is connected to the external environment. Based on Figure 2 The method shown is as follows: Figure 3 The diagram shows a flowchart of another embodiment of the vehicle humidification control method provided in this disclosure. The vehicle humidification control method may further include:

[0059] S400, obtain the second water level of water storage device 3.

[0060] S500, when the second water level is not lower than the second preset water level threshold and the first water level is not lower than the first preset water level threshold, control the third end of the second water pump 4 and the three-way valve 5 to open so that the water in the water storage device 3 can be discharged to the external environment.

[0061] The second preset water level threshold can be set according to actual needs. Optionally, the second preset water level threshold can be equal to the third preset water level threshold.

[0062] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second water level is not lower than the second preset water level threshold and the first water level is not lower than the first preset water level threshold, the second end of the three-way valve 5 is controlled to close.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the water storage device 3 and the humidifier 6 are saturated, the water in the water storage device 3 is promptly discharged to the external environment so that the water produced by the vehicle water production device 1 can be delivered to the water storage device 3 in a timely manner, avoiding malfunctions caused by water circulating into the vehicle water production device 1 and ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle water production device 1.

[0064] Optional, based on Figure 1 The system shown is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the vehicle humidification system may further include a filter device 7, which is disposed between the second end of the three-way valve 5 and the humidifier 6.

In this embodiment, by filtering the water in the water storage device 3 before it is delivered to the humidifier 6, damage to the humidifier 6 can be prevented, and the service life of the humidifier 6 can be extended.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the second water pump 4 and the third end of the three-way valve 5 can be opened according to the emptying command input by the user or according to the second preset control cycle, and the second end of the three-way valve 5 can be closed, so that the water in the water storage device 3 is discharged to the external environment until the water in the water storage device 3 is emptied.

[0066] This embodiment of the invention can replace the water in the water storage device 3 by draining the water, thereby avoiding the water in the water storage device 3 being stored for too long and reducing the filtration pressure on the filter device 7 and the humidifier 6.

[0067] The vehicle humidification control method provided in this embodiment can be applied to the vehicle's microcontroller unit, electronic control unit, or vehicle controller.
