Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parking rest control technology, specifically to a vehicle rest mode control method, device, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Prolonged high-power discharge of a battery will reduce its total discharge capacity. The reasons for this are analyzed below:

[0003] Firstly, the battery's internal resistance and polarization voltage are factors: When a battery undergoes high-power discharge, the large current may prevent the active materials inside the battery from being fully reduced or oxidized, leading to a decrease in the electrode reaction rate and a drop in discharge potential, thus reducing the battery capacity accordingly. During discharge, the potential loss due to the battery's internal resistance (internal resistance voltage) and the potential drop caused by the depletion of active materials in the electrolyte (polarization voltage) both increase, further reducing the actual discharge capacity.

[0004] Secondly, temperature also plays a role: high-power discharge can cause the internal temperature of the battery to rise. Although batteries can maintain good discharge performance within a temperature range of -40℃ to 60℃, the heat generated by prolonged high-power discharge may exceed this range, thereby affecting battery performance and reducing the discharge capacity.

[0005] In northern winters, when sleeping in the vehicle at night, the parking heater is manually controlled to maintain the indoor environment, as it cannot be automatically turned on or off. This can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning while asleep, and also wastes a significant amount of energy. Manually controlling the sleeper berth heating drains the vehicle's battery, and when the battery is low, the heating cannot be stopped, preventing the vehicle from starting. In winter, the cameras are prone to icing, making it impossible to monitor the outside environment when in surveillance mode, requiring the cameras to be heated. Furthermore, in cold weather, the sleeper berth heating must be manually turned on.

[0006] However, if the parking heater, sleeper berth heater, and camera heater are turned on at the same time, the battery will discharge at high power for a long time, resulting in less actual battery discharge and wasted energy. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle rest mode control method, device and vehicle, which can solve the problem that when the parking heater, sleeper berth heater and camera heater are turned on at the same time, the battery will discharge at high power for a long time, resulting in less actual battery discharge and energy consumption.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] On one hand, the present invention provides a vehicle rest mode control method, comprising the following steps:

[0010] When entering rest mode and detecting that the outdoor temperature is lower than the set temperature;

[0011] The heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater are controlled to work intermittently. One cycle of intermittent operation of the heater is: it works for a first set time and then stops working for a second set time. One cycle of intermittent operation of the parking heater is: it works for a third set time and then stops working for a fourth set time. The first set time is shorter than the third set time, and the second set time is longer than the fourth set time.

[0012] In some alternative solutions, when the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater are working simultaneously, the total power of the heater and the parking heater is controlled not to exceed the set maximum power.

[0013] In some alternative configurations, during the first cycle in which the heater and the parking heater operate simultaneously, the output power of the heater is greater than that of the parking heater; during the remaining cycles in which the heater and the parking heater operate simultaneously, the output power of the heater is less than that of the parking heater.

[0014] In some alternative schemes, the sum of the first and second set times is the same as the sum of the third and fourth set times, and the first, second, third, and fourth set times are determined based on the outdoor and indoor temperatures.

[0015] In some alternative solutions, the parking heater first performs an inner circulation for a fifth set time and then an outer circulation for a sixth set time during the third set time period of operation.

[0016] In some alternative solutions, when the parking heater is in internal circulation for a fifth set time period, it uses high-grade fan to heat the driver's cabin; when it is in external circulation for a sixth set time period, it uses automatic fan to heat the driver's cabin.

[0017] In some optional solutions, when entering rest mode, the indoor CO content is monitored by a CO sensor, and a CO alarm signal is issued when the CO content exceeds a set threshold.

[0018] In some optional solutions, when entering rest mode, if a vehicle monitoring command is triggered, the camera will start working and will heat up for a ninth set time after the eighth set time.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention also provides a vehicle rest mode control device, including a parking body controller, which is used to control the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater to work intermittently when entering the rest mode and detecting that the outdoor temperature is lower than the set temperature. One cycle of the heater working intermittently is: working for a first set time and then stopping for a second set time. One cycle of the parking heater working intermittently is: working for a third set time and then stopping for a fourth set time. The first set time is less than the third set time, and the second set time is greater than the fourth set time.

[0020] Secondly, the present invention also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle rest mode control device.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: by controlling the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater to work intermittently through the parking vehicle controller, the heater works for a first set time and then stops working for a second set time, and the parking heater works for a third set time and then stops working for a fourth set time. Furthermore, the first set time is shorter than the third set time and the second set time is longer than the fourth set time. By controlling the intermittent operation of the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater in this way, the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater will not work at high power for a long time. This solves the problem in the prior art where turning on the parking heater and the sleeper berth heater will cause the battery to discharge at high power for a long time, resulting in less actual battery discharge and wasted energy.

[0022] The above solution allows the vehicle to adapt to its surroundings. By setting thresholds for the parking heater and sleeper berth heating, and through one-button control, a comfortable environment is provided for the driver to sleep in cold weather. It automatically activates the external air circulation or automatically closes the sunroof to ensure driver safety and prevent the vehicle from getting wet. The doors can be opened at any time, enabling vehicle anti-theft and emergency call functions. By controlling the total power of the heater and parking heater to not exceed the set maximum power, the battery's maximum discharge power is prevented from being excessively high for extended periods in rest mode, thus avoiding a decrease in total discharge capacity.

[0025] Figure 2This is a flowchart illustrating a specific implementation of the vehicle rest mode control method in this invention.

[0026] Figure 3 This is a hardware schematic diagram of the vehicle rest mode control device in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the vehicle rest mode control method in an embodiment of the present invention; as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, on one hand, the present invention provides a vehicle rest mode control method, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0030] When entering rest mode and detecting that the outdoor temperature is lower than the set temperature;

[0031] The heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater are controlled to work intermittently. One cycle of intermittent operation of the heater is: it works for a first set time and then stops working for a second set time. One cycle of intermittent operation of the parking heater is: it works for a third set time and then stops working for a fourth set time. The first set time is shorter than the third set time, and the second set time is longer than the fourth set time.

[0032] In this example, the rest mode refers to the vehicle being stationary, the engine being off, the battery being powered, and the driver pressing the winter rest mode switch on the side panel to determine that the vehicle has entered rest mode.

[0033] When the outdoor temperature is detected to be below 15 degrees Celsius, it is determined that the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater should be controlled to operate intermittently at the same time.

[0034] The intermittent operation mode of the heater in the sleeper berth is as follows: the heater in the sleeper berth is turned on, and then the counter starts counting down to heat for a first set time. Then it is turned off and the countdown starts again to stop heating for a second set time. Then the counter starts counting down again to heat for a first set time. Then it is turned off and the countdown starts again to stop heating for a second set time. Generally, the intermittent operation setting of the heater in the sleeper berth is set to repeat 6 times. The number of repetitions can be set by the driver according to the usage needs.

[0035] The intermittent operation mode of the parking heater is as follows: after the parking heater is turned on, the countdown continues for the third set time. When the countdown reaches 0, heating stops for the fourth set time. When the countdown reaches 0, the parking heater turns on again for the third set time. Generally, the intermittent operation mode of the parking heater repeats 6 times. The number of repetitions can be set by the driver according to their usage needs.

[0036] In this solution, the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater are controlled to operate intermittently. The heater operates for a first set time and then stops for a second set time, while the parking heater operates for a third set time and then stops for a fourth set time. The first set time is shorter than the third set time, and the second set time is longer than the fourth set time. By controlling the intermittent operation of the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater in this way, the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater will not operate at high power for a long time. This solves the problem in the existing technology where turning on the parking heater and the sleeper berth heater will cause the battery to discharge at high power for a long time, resulting in less actual battery discharge and wasted energy.

[0037] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a specific implementation of the vehicle rest mode control method in an embodiment of the present invention; such as... Figure 2 As shown, a more specific technical solution is given below: After heater 3 is turned on, a counter starts counting down, heating for 20 minutes, then it is turned off and a countdown begins, stopping heating for 1 hour, then the counter starts counting down again, heating for 20 minutes, then it is turned off and a countdown begins again, stopping heating for 1 hour, repeating this cycle 6 times. Simultaneously, parking heater 4 is turned on, counting down for 40 minutes. When the countdown reaches 0, heating stops and a 40-minute countdown begins again. When the countdown reaches 0, the parking heater is turned on again for 40 minutes, repeating this cycle 6 times.

[0038] By using the methods described above, you can ensure that the vehicle has a relatively comfortable parking and resting environment. In addition, you can save power and reduce the problem of the battery being discharged too quickly, which would affect rest and subsequent restart.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments, when the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater are operating simultaneously, the total power of the heater and the parking heater is controlled not to exceed the set maximum power.

[0040] To provide a more comfortable sleeping environment when the vehicle enters rest mode, the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater were turned on simultaneously for a period of time.

[0041] However, since prolonged high-power discharge of the battery can reduce its total discharge capacity, this solution controls the total power of the heater and parking heater to not exceed the set maximum power. This ensures that the battery's maximum discharge power does not remain excessively high for extended periods in rest mode, thus preventing a decrease in total discharge capacity.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, during the first cycle in which the heater and the parking heater operate simultaneously, the output power of the heater is greater than the output power of the parking heater; during the remaining cycles in which the heater and the parking heater operate simultaneously, the output power of the heater is less than the output power of the parking heater.

[0043] To ensure a comfortable sleeping environment in the sleeper berth when the vehicle first enters rest mode, and to quickly establish a comfortable temperature in the bedding, this design prioritizes a higher output power for the heater during the first cycle when both the heater and parking heater are operating simultaneously. This ensures a comfortable sleeping environment for the driver upon entering bed. Furthermore, during subsequent sleep periods, considering the residual heat in the bedding, a higher power output is not required. Therefore, during the remaining cycles when both the heater and parking heater are operating simultaneously, the heater's output power is lower than the parking heater's. This design maintains a suitable temperature throughout the sleep area and ensures a comfortable temperature in the bedding without excessive energy consumption.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the sum of the first set time and the second set time is the same as the sum of the third set time and the fourth set time, and the first set time, the second set time, the third set time and the fourth set time are determined based on the outside temperature and the inside temperature.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sum of the first and second set times is the same as the sum of the third and fourth set times to maintain synchronized circulation of the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater, thus ensuring a relatively comfortable environment in the driver's cab at all times. Furthermore, in this example, the first, second, third, and fourth set times are determined based on the outside and inside temperatures. Different indoor and outdoor temperature differences determine the different on / off times of the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, the parking heater first performs an inner circulation for a fifth set time and then an outer circulation for a sixth set time during the third set time working period.

[0047] In this embodiment, within one cycle of the parking heater's intermittent operation, the heater operates for a third set time, then stops for a fourth set time. During the third set time, an internal circulation for a fifth set time is performed to quickly raise the temperature in the cab. After raising the cab temperature, an external circulation for a sixth set time is performed to prevent CO poisoning. The sum of the fifth and sixth set times equals the third set time.

[0048] Specifically, in this plan, the third set time is 40 minutes, the fifth set time is 10 minutes, and the sixth set time is 30 minutes. That is, within 40 minutes of turning on the parking heater, there is first 10 minutes of internal circulation for rapid heating, followed by 30 minutes of external circulation for ventilation.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, when the parking heater is in internal circulation for a fifth set time period, it uses high-speed fan to heat the driver's cabin; when it is in external circulation for a sixth set time period, it uses automatic fan to heat the driver's cabin.

[0050] In this embodiment, to prevent the doors from freezing and becoming impossible to open, the windshield is set to a high setting during internal air circulation. For example, if there are five windshield settings, the windshield is set to level 4 or 5 during internal circulation. The specific windshield setting is determined based on the outside temperature to ensure the doors do not freeze. During external air circulation, the main purpose is to maintain fresh air and temperature inside the driver's cabin. Therefore, during the sixth set time period of external air circulation, automatic fan heating is activated to save energy.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, when entering rest mode, if a sunroof opening command is triggered, the sunroof will open and then close after a seven-set time.

[0052] In this embodiment, after the body controller activates the winter rest mode command, if the sunroof switch sends an open / close signal, the CMS controller receives the command from the body controller and the sunroof switch command, and the sunroof motor rotates forward or reverses according to the command. After opening, it closes after a 2-hour delay, using external air circulation to maintain the interior temperature and avoid energy waste caused by forgetting to close the sunroof.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, when entering rest mode, the indoor CO content is monitored by a CO sensor, and a CO alarm signal is issued when the CO content exceeds a set threshold.

[0054] In this embodiment, a CO concentration threshold is set in the vehicle body controller. When the parking heater refueling pipe is started, the vehicle body controller activates the CO concentration monitoring function. If the CO concentration exceeds the set threshold, the vehicle body controller sends a signal to the CO alarm, and the CO alarm sounds.

[0055] In some optional embodiments, when entering rest mode, if a vehicle monitoring command is triggered, the camera will start working and will perform camera heating for a ninth set time after an eighth set time.

[0056] In this embodiment, the eighth time setting is 30 minutes, and the ninth time setting is 5 minutes. When the driver presses the winter rest mode switch on the side panel, and the monitoring switch is pressed while the winter rest mode is activated, the A-pillar display screen will start working for 3 minutes and then automatically turn off. At the same time, the camera will heat up for 5 minutes and then stop. Then, the camera will heat up for 5 minutes every 30 minutes to ensure that the display can clearly show the outside at any time.

[0057] If the vehicle monitoring switch is activated, the CMS controller receives commands from the body control controller and the vehicle monitoring switch. The camera heater then activates or deactivates accordingly. Simultaneously, the display is switched on automatically and shows the signal after a 3-minute delay.

[0058] Figure 3 This is a hardware schematic diagram of the vehicle rest mode control device in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, on the other hand, the present invention also provides a vehicle rest mode control device, including a parking body controller, which is used to control the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater to work intermittently when entering the rest mode and detecting that the outdoor temperature is lower than the set temperature. One cycle of the heater working intermittently is: working for a first set time and then stopping for a second set time. One cycle of the parking heater working intermittently is: working for a third set time and then stopping for a fourth set time. The first set time is less than the third set time, and the second set time is greater than the fourth set time.

[0059] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working process of the device and each module and unit described above can be referred to the corresponding process in the aforementioned vehicle rest mode control method embodiment.

[0060] Specifically, the total power of the heater and parking heater should not exceed the set maximum power. This prevents the battery's maximum discharge power from being too high for extended periods in rest mode, thus avoiding a decrease in the total discharge capacity.

[0061] When the vehicle first enters rest mode, during the first cycle when both the heater and parking heater are operating simultaneously, the heater's output power is greater than the parking heater's. This ensures a comfortable sleeping environment for the driver as soon as they get into bed. During subsequent sleep periods, taking into account the residual heat in the bed, a higher power output is not required. Therefore, during the remaining cycles when both the heater and parking heater are operating simultaneously, the heater's output power is lower than the parking heater's. This design maintains a comfortable temperature throughout the room and in the bed during the rest of the sleep period without excessive energy consumption.

[0062] Set the sum of the first and second set times to be the same as the sum of the third and fourth set times, and keep the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater circulating synchronously, thus maintaining a relatively comfortable environment in the driver's cab at all times.

[0063] Within one cycle of the parking heater's intermittent operation, it first operates for the third set time, then stops for the fourth set time. During the third set time, it first operates for the fifth set time of internal circulation to quickly raise the temperature in the cab. After raising the cab temperature, it then operates for the sixth set time of external circulation to prevent CO poisoning.

[0064] When using internal air circulation, set the windshield to high speed, with the specific setting based on the outside temperature, to ensure the doors do not freeze. When using external air circulation, the main purpose is to maintain fresh air and temperature inside the cabin. During the sixth set time, the cabin will automatically heat the air to save energy.

[0065] If the vehicle monitoring switch is activated, the CMS controller receives commands from the body control controller and the vehicle monitoring switch. The camera heater then activates or deactivates accordingly. After the camera is activated, it heats up for a ninth set time interval every eighth set time interval.

[0066] The above solution allows the vehicle to adapt to the surrounding environment. By setting the parking heater and sleeper berth heating thresholds, and controlling them with one button, the driver can obtain a comfortable environment when sleeping in cold weather. It can also automatically open the external air circulation or automatically close the sunroof to ensure the driver's safety and prevent the vehicle from getting wet. At the same time, the vehicle doors can be opened at any time to protect the vehicle from theft or enable emergency rescue functions.

[0067] In another aspect, the present invention provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle rest mode control device.

[0068] In this solution, the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater are controlled by the vehicle body controller to operate intermittently. The heater operates for a first set time and then stops for a second set time, while the parking heater operates for a third set time and then stops for a fourth set time. The first set time is shorter than the third set time, and the second set time is longer than the fourth set time. By controlling the intermittent operation of the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater in this way, the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater will not operate at high power for a long time. This solves the problem in the existing technology where turning on the parking heater and the sleeper berth heater will cause the battery to discharge at high power for a long time, resulting in less actual battery discharge and wasted energy.

[0069] In addition, the vehicle body controller is connected to the temperature sensor, sleeper berth heating controller, parking heater controller, CMS (video monitoring) controller, sunroof controller, and air conditioning controller, and is also used to receive the on / off signal for the rest mode.

[0070] The sleeper heating controller is connected to the heater relay, heating sensor, and body controller. It is used to control the start and stop of the heater by receiving the detection signal from the heating sensor and the control command from the body controller, and controlling the heater relay.

[0071] The parking heater controller is connected to the heater relay, the heating oil pipe relay, and the heating sensor signal. It is used to control the start and stop of the heater relay and the heating oil pipe relay by receiving the detection signal from the heating sensor and the control command from the vehicle body control.

[0072] In practical use, the vehicle body controller sends a signal to turn on the parking heater. Upon receiving this signal, the parking heater controller activates the parking heater fuel pump motor to supply fuel to the parking heater and simultaneously starts heating the fuel line. After 40 minutes, the vehicle body controller sends a signal to stop the parking heater. Upon receiving this signal, the parking heater controller shuts off the parking heater fuel pump motor, ceasing fuel supply to the parking heater and simultaneously shutting off the fuel line.

[0073] In addition, the vehicle body controller is also connected to the CO sensor and CO alarm signals. By receiving the CO content collected by the CO sensor, it controls whether the CO alarm sounds.

[0074] The CMS (Video Surveillance System) controller connects to the camera relay, display, and heater relay signals. It controls the heater relay and camera relay via signals received from the vehicle body controller to control the start and stop of the camera and camera heater. Additionally, the CMS controller receives on / off signals from the CMS monitoring switch to control the start and stop of the entire monitoring module.

[0075] In addition to receiving control commands from the sunroof controller, the sunroof controller also receives control commands from the vehicle body controller. When the vehicle enters rest mode, the sunroof can be opened for a set time and then automatically closed to maintain the interior temperature.

[0076] In addition, the body controller also sends control commands to the air conditioning controller to control the circulation direction motor, adjusting whether the air conditioning is in recirculation or external circulation mode. The body controller also receives sensing signals from the outside temperature sensor to control whether the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater operate intermittently after the vehicle enters rest mode.

[0077] The above scheme achieves intermittent operation of the heater in the sleeper berth and the parking heater. One cycle of intermittent operation for the heater is: it operates for a first set time, then stops for a second set time. One cycle of intermittent operation for the parking heater is: it operates for a third set time, then stops for a fourth set time. The first set time is shorter than the third set time, and the second set time is longer than the fourth set time. This allows the vehicle to adapt to the surrounding environment. By setting the heating thresholds for the parking heater and sleeper berth, and through one-button control, a comfortable environment is provided for the driver to sleep in cold weather. In the preferred scheme, the external air circulation is automatically opened or the sunroof is automatically closed to ensure driver safety and prevent the vehicle from getting wet. Simultaneously, the doors can be opened at any time, enabling vehicle anti-theft or emergency call functions.
