[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Figure 1 This is a front view schematic diagram of an in-vehicle intelligent drinking water temperature regulation device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, an in-vehicle intelligent drinking water temperature regulation device includes: a control module (not shown) and a temperature regulation module; the temperature regulation module includes a cooling water pipe circuit 1 and a water cup support structure 2 to be regulated, the cooling water pipe circuit 1 is connected to the main cooling water circuit 3, and a portion of the cooling water pipe circuit 1 is disposed in the water cup support structure 2 to be regulated; the control module includes a control unit and a switch unit 4; the switch unit 4 is disposed on the side of the cooling water pipe circuit 1 near the main cooling water circuit 3; the control unit is electrically connected to the switch unit 4 and is used to control the working state of the switch unit 4 according to the temperature regulation command to control whether cooling water enters the cooling water pipe circuit 1 to regulate the temperature of the drinking water in the water cup to be regulated.

[0043] Specifically, the temperature-adjustable water cup support structure 2 can be installed in the center console of the vehicle where the water cup is located. During vehicle operation, the temperature of the cooling water in the vehicle's cooling water circuit reaches above 90℃, which can be used to heat drinking water. Therefore, the cooling water pipe circuit 1 is installed inside the temperature-adjustable water cup support structure 2, connecting the cooling water pipe circuit 1 to the main cooling water circuit 3. A switch unit 4 is installed on the side of the cooling water pipe circuit closest to the main cooling water circuit 3. The control unit controls the working state of the switch unit 4 to control the flow of cooling water into the cooling water pipe circuit 1. If the cooling water temperature is higher than the drinking water temperature, the drinking water can be heated using the cooling water temperature; if the cooling water temperature is lower than the drinking water temperature, the drinking water can be cooled using the cooling water temperature. The working state of the switch unit 4 includes on, off, and opening degree. The control unit can control the flow rate of cooling water in the cooling water pipe by controlling the opening degree of the switch unit 4. The larger the opening degree of the switch unit 4, the faster the cooling water flow rate and the faster the drinking water is heated; conversely, the smaller the opening degree of the switch unit 4, the slower the cooling water flow rate and the slower the drinking water is heated.

[0044] This invention, through a control unit, controls the operating state of a switching unit to regulate whether cooling water enters the cooling water pipeline circuit, thereby adjusting the temperature of the drinking water in the cup to be heated. By fully utilizing the cooling water temperature to regulate the drinking water temperature, it simultaneously heats the drinking water and cools the cooling water, thus achieving rational energy utilization.

[0045] Optionally, Figure 2 This is a left view of an in-vehicle intelligent drinking water temperature regulating device provided according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. (Reference) Figure 2The temperature regulation module also includes an electric heating wire 5 and a gas regulation circuit; the electric heating wire 5 is disposed in the water cup support structure 2 to be regulated; the gas regulation circuit is connected to the air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner and the air inlet 6 of the water cup support structure respectively; the control unit is electrically connected to the heating wire 5 and the vehicle air conditioner respectively, and is used to adjust the heating current in the electric heating wire 5 and / or the air outlet temperature and / or air volume of the vehicle air conditioner according to the temperature regulation command.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, an electric heating wire 5 is installed in the water cup holding structure 2 to heat the drinking water. An air inlet 6 is also provided in the water cup holding structure 2, which is connected to the air outlet of the vehicle's air conditioning system to adjust the drinking water temperature by controlling the air temperature and / or airflow of the air conditioning system. A control unit is electrically connected to the electric heating wire 5 to control the current of the electric heating wire 5 to heat the drinking water. A higher current in the electric heating wire 5 results in faster heating of the drinking water, and vice versa. The control unit is also connected to the vehicle's air conditioning system to adjust the drinking water temperature by controlling the air temperature and / or airflow of the air conditioning system. If the user requires cold water, the control unit controls the vehicle's air conditioning to blow cold air to lower the drinking water temperature; if the user requires hot water, the control unit controls the vehicle's air conditioning to blow hot air to heat the drinking water.

[0047] This invention uses an electric heating wire to assist in heating drinking water, while simultaneously introducing hot and cold air from the vehicle's air conditioning system to regulate the drinking water temperature, ensuring that the drinking water in the vehicle reaches the user's desired temperature. In summer, the drinking water is cooled by the cooling water temperature and the vehicle's air conditioning system, allowing the user to drink refreshingly cool water. In winter, the drinking water is heated by the cooling water temperature, the electric heating wire current, and the vehicle's air conditioning system, allowing the user to drink hot water at a suitable temperature. This satisfies the user's need for drinking water temperature regulation while achieving rational energy utilization.

[0048] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle-mounted intelligent drinking water temperature regulation device also includes a temperature measurement module, which is used to sense the first temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water pipeline circuit 1 and the second temperature of the drinking water in the cup to be regulated.

[0049] The control unit is also electrically connected to the temperature measurement module and is used to determine a temperature adjustment command based on the first temperature, the second temperature and the required temperature of drinking water to adjust at least one of the following: the operating state of the switch unit 4, the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, and the outlet air temperature and / or air volume of the vehicle air conditioner.

[0050] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2The temperature adjustment command can be either to turn on the heating or to turn off the heating. The control unit is electrically connected to the temperature measurement module. Based on the first temperature, the second temperature, and the required temperature of the drinking water, it determines a temperature adjustment command. If the temperature adjustment command is to activate the heating, the control unit can control one of the following: the operating state of the switch unit 4, the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, and the outlet air temperature and / or airflow of the vehicle air conditioner. For example, the control unit may only control the switch unit 4 to be on, or increase the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, or control the vehicle air conditioner to blow hot air. The control unit can also control two of the following: the operating state of the switch unit 4, the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, and the outlet air temperature and / or airflow of the vehicle air conditioner. For example, the control unit may control the switch unit 4 to be on and increase the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, or control the switch unit 4 to be on and the vehicle air conditioner to blow hot air, or control the heating current in the electric heating wire to increase and the vehicle air conditioner to blow hot air. The control unit can also control three of the following: the operating state of the switch unit 4, the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, and the outlet air temperature and / or airflow of the vehicle air conditioner. For example, the control unit may simultaneously control the switch unit 4 to be on, increase the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, and blow hot air from the vehicle air conditioner. If the temperature adjustment command is a heating off command, the control unit simultaneously controls three of the following: the working state of the switch unit 4, the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, and the air outlet temperature and / or air volume of the vehicle air conditioner. For example, the control unit simultaneously controls the switch unit 4 to turn off, the heating current in the electric heating wire 5 to decrease, and the air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner to stop blowing air.

[0051] The embodiments of the present invention control the working state of the switching unit, the heating current in the electric heating wire, and at least one of the air outlet temperature and / or air volume of the vehicle air conditioner through the control unit, so that the drinking water temperature can quickly reach the temperature required by the user, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0052] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the second temperature is lower than the required temperature and the difference between the first temperature and the cooling water temperature transmission loss is greater than the required temperature, the control unit determines that the temperature adjustment command is a cooling water heating command and controls the switch unit 4 to be turned on according to the cooling water heating command to control the cooling water to enter the cooling water pipe circuit 1 and heat the drinking water in the water cup to be adjusted to the required temperature.

[0053] When the second temperature is less than the first temperature and the required temperature, and the difference between the first temperature and the cooling water temperature transmission loss is less than the required temperature, the control unit determines that the temperature adjustment command is a mixed heating command and controls the switch unit 4 to be turned on according to the mixed heating command. At the same time, it controls the heating current in the electric heating wire 5 and / or the air outlet temperature and / or air volume of the vehicle air conditioner to mix and heat the drinking water in the water cup to be heated to the required temperature.

[0054] When the second temperature is higher than the required temperature, the control unit determines that the temperature regulation command is a gas cooling command and controls the vehicle air conditioner to output gas with a temperature lower than the second temperature according to the gas cooling command. The gas regulation circuit then cools the drinking water in the cup to be cooled to the required temperature.

[0055] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first temperature can be the temperature of the cooling water, and the second temperature can be the actual temperature of the drinking water. When the second temperature is lower than the required temperature, the drinking water needs to be heated. Heat transfer loss refers to the heat loss that occurs when the cooling water is transferred through the cooling water pipe loop 1. If the cooling water temperature minus the heat transfer loss is still higher than the required temperature, then only the cooling water temperature needs to be used to heat the drinking water to reach the required temperature. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the temperature adjustment command is a cooling water heating command. The control unit can control the switch unit 4 to conduct according to the cooling water heating command, so as to control the cooling water to enter the cooling water pipe loop 1 and heat the drinking water in the cup to be heated to the required temperature.

[0056] When the second temperature is lower than the first temperature and the required temperature, and the first temperature minus the cooling water transmission temperature loss is less than the required temperature, then the drinking water temperature cannot be heated to the required temperature solely by the cooling water temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm that the temperature adjustment command is a mixed heating command, that is, the control unit controls the switch unit 4 to be turned on while simultaneously controlling the heating current in the electric heating wire 5 and / or the outlet air temperature and / or airflow of the vehicle air conditioner to mix and heat the drinking water in the cup to be heated to the required temperature. For example, the control unit can control the switch unit 4 to be turned on and increase the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, or control the switch unit 4 to be turned on and the vehicle air conditioner to blow hot air, or the control unit can control the switch unit 4 to be turned on, increase the heating current in the electric heating wire 5, and blow hot air from the vehicle air conditioner.

[0057] When the second temperature is higher than the required temperature, the drinking water needs to be cooled by blowing cold air through the vehicle's air conditioning. Therefore, the temperature regulation command can be determined to be a gas cooling command. Based on the gas cooling command, the vehicle's air conditioning is controlled to output gas with a temperature lower than the second temperature, so as to cool the drinking water in the cup to be cooled to the required temperature through the gas regulation circuit.

[0058] This invention, through a control unit, automatically adjusts the temperature of the drinking water in the cup to be heated, making full use of the temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water pipeline circuit to maximize energy utilization. Auxiliary heating via an electric heating wire ensures stable heating of the drinking water. The temperature of the drinking water is adjusted by controlling the outlet air temperature and / or airflow of the vehicle's air conditioning system. These three elements work together to achieve precise temperature control of the drinking water in the cup, satisfying the user's needs for drinking water temperature regulation while achieving rational energy utilization.

[0059] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The temperature measurement module includes: a first temperature sensor 7 and a second temperature sensor 8;

[0060] The first temperature sensor 7 is installed at the inlet of the cooling water pipeline circuit 1 to sense the temperature of the cooling water.

[0061] The second temperature sensor 8 is disposed in the water cup support structure 2 to be regulated, for sensing the temperature of drinking water; or, the second temperature sensor 8 includes an infrared detector (not shown in the figure), which is disposed above the opening of the water cup support structure 2 to be regulated, for detecting the temperature of drinking water.

[0062] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cup fixing device 9 is installed at the opening of the support structure to prevent the cup from tipping over during vehicle movement. To determine the temperature of the cooling water, a first temperature sensor 7 is installed at the inlet of the cooling water pipe circuit 1. To monitor the drinking water temperature in real time, a second temperature sensor 8 can be installed in the cup fixing device 9. Since the thickness of the cup wall can cause errors in the second temperature sensor 8, an infrared detector can be installed above the opening of the support interface of the cup to improve the accuracy of the drinking water temperature detection.

[0063] Optionally, the control module further includes: a human-machine interaction unit; the human-machine interaction unit is used to accept temperature adjustment commands input by the user; the control unit is electrically connected to the human-machine interaction unit and is used to receive temperature adjustment commands and control the working state of the switch unit 4 according to the temperature adjustment commands to control whether cooling water enters the cooling water pipeline circuit 1 to heat the drinking water in the water cup to be adjusted.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, when a user needs to heat drinking water, they can issue a temperature adjustment command to start heating through the human-machine interface unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the human-machine interface unit and can receive the temperature adjustment command. According to the temperature adjustment command, the control unit 4 is turned on to control the cooling water to enter the cooling water pipeline circuit 1 to heat the drinking water in the cup to be heated.

[0065] The human-computer interaction unit of this invention can receive temperature adjustment commands from users, allowing users to adjust the drinking water temperature according to their personal preferences, thus improving the user experience. It can be adjusted according to user needs; for example, it can display normal, fast, and ultra-fast modes on the central control screen or through voice interaction. The normal mode corresponds to the cooling water adjustment mode, the fast mode corresponds to two mixed modes, and the ultra-fast mode corresponds to all three modes operating simultaneously.

[0066] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The human-computer interaction unit is also used to display the first temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water pipeline circuit 1 and the second temperature of the drinking water in the cup to be heated.

[0067] Receives user input of cooling water heating command and controls switch unit 4 to turn on according to the cooling water heating command to control cooling water to enter cooling water pipeline circuit 1 to heat drinking water in the water cup to be heated to the required temperature;

[0068] Alternatively, the user inputs a mixed heating command and controls the switch unit 4 to turn on according to the mixed heating command, while controlling the heating current in the electric heating wire 5 and / or the air outlet temperature and / or air volume of the vehicle air conditioner to mix and heat the drinking water in the water cup to be heated to the required temperature.

[0069] Alternatively, it can receive a gas cooling command input by the user and control the vehicle's air conditioning to output gas at a temperature lower than the second temperature, thereby cooling the drinking water in the cup to the required temperature through the gas regulation circuit.

[0070] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The human-machine interface unit has an information display screen for displaying the first temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water pipe loop 1 and the second temperature of the drinking water in the cup to be heated. Users can obtain the first and second temperature information from the information display screen. Furthermore, the human-machine interface unit has a temperature setting button for setting the desired temperature. The human-machine interface unit also includes a cooling water heating button, a mixing heating button, and a cooling button. The cooling water heating button can receive user-input cooling water heating commands and transmit them to the control unit, so that the control unit can control the switch unit 4 to conduct, thereby controlling the cooling water to enter the cooling water pipe loop 1 to be heated. The drinking water in the warm water cup is heated to the required temperature. The mixing heating button can receive a mixing heating command input by the user and transmit the mixing heating command to the control unit so that the control unit controls the switch unit 4 to be turned on, and at the same time controls the heating current in the electric heating wire 5 and / or the air temperature and / or air volume of the vehicle air conditioner to mix and heat the drinking water in the cup to be heated to the required temperature. The cooling button can receive a gas cooling command input by the user and transmit the gas cooling command to the control unit so that the control unit controls the vehicle air conditioner to output gas with a temperature lower than the second temperature, and cools the drinking water in the cup to be heated to the required temperature through the gas regulation circuit.

[0071] This invention provides a human-machine interface that displays first and second temperature information to the user, allowing the user to issue a temperature adjustment command based on the desired temperature and the first and second temperature information. Through human-machine interaction, the accuracy of drinking water temperature adjustment in the cup to be adjusted is further improved while meeting the user's needs.

[0072] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The temperature-adjustable water cup support structure 2 includes a shell; a portion of the cooling water pipe circuit 1 is located inside the shell; an electric heating wire 5 is located inside the shell; and an air inlet 6 of the temperature-adjustable water cup support structure 2 penetrates the shell.

[0073] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing shown includes a first sidewall 11, a second sidewall 12, a third sidewall 13, and a fourth sidewall 14. The cooling water pipe circuit 1 is arranged in a tortuous manner in the first sidewall 11 and the third sidewall 13. The inlet of the cooling water pipe circuit 1 is connected to the main cooling water circuit 3. The electric heating wire is arranged in a tortuous manner in the third sidewall 13 and the fourth sidewall 14. The air inlet is located in the gap between two adjacent electric heating wires 5 in the third sidewall 13. The corresponding air outlet is located in the gap between two adjacent electric heating wires 5 in the electric heating wire 5 in the fourth sidewall 14.

[0074] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 Switching unit 4 includes: a connecting valve.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 1 The diagram shows a valve used in a fluid transport system to connect or disconnect flow between two pipes. The connecting valve is located on the side of cooling water pipe loop 1 closest to the main cooling water loop 3. When the connecting valve is open, cooling water pipe loop 1 is connected to the main cooling water loop 3, allowing cooling water to enter cooling water pipe loop 1. When the connecting valve is closed, cooling water pipe loop 1 is disconnected from the main cooling water loop 3, preventing cooling water from entering cooling water pipe loop 1. The larger the opening of the connecting valve, the faster the cooling water flow rate and the faster the drinking water is heated; conversely, the smaller the opening of the connecting valve, the slower the cooling water flow rate and the slower the drinking water is heated.
