[0058] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] As one embodiment of the present invention, this embodiment provides a car cabin adaptive temperature control system based on a three-dimensional framework, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the system architecture is as follows:

[0061] Multidimensional Data Acquisition Module (MDAM): responsible for collecting environmental parameters inside and outside the cabin and the driver's physiological status data.

[0062] Adaptive Temperature Regulation Algorithm (ATRA): Based on the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) thermal comfort model and combined with data collected by MDAM, it performs real-time temperature regulation.

[0063] Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting System (TEHS): Utilizes the Seebeck effect to harvest temperature energy from inside and outside the cabin through thermoelectric power generation technology.

[0064] The system's workflow is as follows:

[0065] When the driver enters the cockpit, the multi-dimensional data acquisition module (MDAM) starts to collect environmental parameters inside and outside the cabin, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, radiant temperature and air pressure, as well as the driver's physiological state, such as heart rate, skin temperature and eye movements.

[0066] The adaptive temperature control algorithm (ATRA) processes data collected by the multi-dimensional data acquisition module (MDAM) to calculate the optimal temperature setting for the driver's thermal comfort. It then automatically adjusts the cabin temperature via the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control unit.

[0067] The temperature difference energy harvesting system TEHS operates under the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin, generating electricity through thermoelectric materials. This electricity can be used to supplement the 12V electrical system in the car or stored in the on-board battery.

[0068] Collaboration between functional modules

[0069] Close collaboration between MDAM, ATRA and TEHS ensures thermal comfort and energy efficiency in the cabin environment.

[0070] ATRA adjusts temperature settings in real time based on MDAM data, while also taking into account TEHS's energy recovery to optimize overall energy efficiency.

[0071] 1. Multidimensional Data Acquisition Module (MDAM): This module collects environmental parameters inside and outside the cabin and the driver's physiological status data. It mainly includes:

[0072] Environmental parameter sensors: measure temperature, humidity, wind speed, radiant temperature and air pressure inside and outside the cabin.

[0073] Driver status sensor: monitors the driver's physiological status, such as body temperature, heart rate, etc.

[0074] Clothing Thermal Resistance Monitoring: Evaluates the thermal resistance of the driver's clothing to influence temperature regulation calculations.

[0075] Health status monitoring: Identifying the driver's health status, such as a cold, which may affect their perception of temperature.

[0076] The input components of the multimodal data acquisition module include:

[0077] Touch action recognizers: Physical buttons and touchscreen inputs for traditional climate control and other cabin control functions.

[0078] Voice Recognition System (VRS): Utilizes a microphone array to receive the driver's voice commands, which are then recognized and analyzed by the VRS and converted into temperature control operations.

[0079] Gesture Recognition System (GRS): Captures and recognizes the driver's gestures through on-board cameras or sensors, and converts specific gestures into temperature adjustment instructions.

[0080] Facial Recognition System (FRS): Used to identify the driver and monitor signs of fatigue, such as yawning and drooping eyelids.

[0081] Eye Tracking System (ETS): Track the driver's gaze and pupil activity, assess the degree of concentration, assist fatigue monitoring.

[0082] The multi-modal data input component information parameters are as follows: touch operation data: input data collected directly from physical buttons or touch screens; voice instructions: temperature adjustment instructions obtained by VRS analysis; gesture data: gestures and their corresponding temperature adjustment operations identified by GRS; facial feature data: facial expressions and features collected by FRS for fatigue monitoring; eye movement data: eye movement information tracked by ETS to assist in assessing the driver's state.

[0083] The obtained information parameters include: outside air temperature, humidity, wind speed, mean radiant temperature, air pressure in the cabin; inside air temperature, humidity, wind speed, mean radiant temperature, air pressure in the cabin; driver body temperature, heart rate, clothing type and thickness; driver temperature adjustment instructions: voice, gesture, touch, facial recognition, eye tracking, etc.

[0084] Among them, the environmental parameters are used to evaluate the thermal load and comfort inside and outside the cabin; the driver's physiological state data are used for individualized temperature adjustment.

[0085] 2、Adaptive Temperature Regulation Algorithm (ATRA): According to the PMV thermal comfort model, combined with the data collected by MDAM, real-time temperature regulation is carried out, which specifically includes:

[0086] PMV model implementation: Calculate the ideal cabin temperature according to the PMV formula.

[0087] Data processing: Integrate the environmental parameters and driver state provided by MDAM to calculate the temperature adjustment.

[0088] PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) thermal comfort evaluation model is a calculation model for evaluating human thermal comfort, which is adopted and standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as ISO 7730 standard. PMV model considers factors such as human metabolic rate (M), environmental temperature (ta), mean radiant temperature (tr), relative humidity (rh), air flow rate (v), and clothing thermal resistance (Icl).

[0089] The standard PMV formula is as follows

[0090] PMV = [0.303 × exp (-0.036 × M) + 0.0275] × TL

[0091] Where: M is the human metabolic rate (unit: met); TL is the abbreviation of thermal load, which represents the difference between the heat produced by the human body and the heat dissipated to the outside world.

[0092] Furthermore, TL can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0093]

[0094] Where: M0 and W0 are the values ​​of human metabolic rate and external mechanical work in a comfortable thermal equilibrium state, respectively; P a is the partial pressure of water vapor (unit: kPa); t a is the air temperature (unit: ℃); f cl is the clothing area coefficient; T cl is the outer surface temperature of the garment (unit: °C); T r is the mean radiation temperature (unit: °C); h c Is the convective heat transfer coefficient (unit: W / (m 2 ·K)).

[0095] The present invention comprehensively considers the environmental parameters inside and outside the cabin and the driver's personal parameters into the PMV model, and improves the standard PMV formula. The improved PMV formula is:

[0096] PMV adjusted =PMV base +α×(DriverInput-PMV base )+β×(EnviroAdjustment)

[0097] Among them: PMV base It is the baseline PMV value calculated according to the standard PMV formula; α is an adjustment coefficient used to quantify the impact of the driver's temperature control command on PMV; DriverInput is the quantified value of the temperature control command input by the driver through voice, gesture, touch, facial recognition, eye tracking, etc.; β is another adjustment coefficient used to quantify the impact of environmental parameter adjustment on PMV; EnviroAdjustment is a comprehensive adjustment factor for the environmental parameters inside and outside the cabin, which can be adjusted according to the differences between the internal and external environments.

[0098] EnviroAdjustment=w1×(t a,in -t a,out )+w2×(φ in -φ out )+w3×(v in -v out )+w4×(T rad,in -T rad,out )+w5×(pin -p out )

[0099] In EnviroAdjustment: w1, w2, w3, w4, w5 are weight coefficients used to adjust the impact of different environmental parameters on comfort; t a,in ,φ in , v in , T rad,in , p in Respectively represents the cabin air temperature, humidity, wind speed, mean radiant temperature and air pressure; t a,out ,φ out , v out , T rad,out , p out They represent the cabin external air temperature, humidity, wind speed, mean radiant temperature and air pressure respectively.

[0100] In addition, the driver's personal parameters, such as body temperature, heart rate, clothing type and thickness, can be adjusted by adjusting the metabolic rate M and clothing thermal resistance I cl To be reflected in the PMV formula:

[0101] M adjusted =M+δM

[0102] I cl,adjusted =I cl +δI cl

[0103] Among them, δM and δI cl They are the changes in metabolic rate and clothing thermal resistance adjusted according to the driver's body temperature, heart rate and clothing.

[0104] Based on the improved PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) thermal comfort evaluation model, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the process and algorithm of the Adaptive Temperature Regulation Algorithm (ATRA) are as follows:

[0105] First, initialize the environmental and physiological parameters;

[0106] Then, it collects environmental data inside and outside the cabin, as well as the driver's physiological data, and reads the driver's temperature control instructions;

[0107] All data are taken into account to calculate PMV base and PMV adjusted ;

[0108] According to PMV adjustedThe value of PMV determines whether the HVAC system needs to be adjusted and how to adjust it to maintain thermal comfort in the cabin

[0109] When PMV adjusted is close to 0, it indicates that the temperature is suitable and no adjustment is needed, the HVAC system maintains the current temperature;

[0110] When PMV adjusted is less than 0, it indicates that the temperature is too low, the cabin temperature is adjusted higher by the HVAC system;

[0111] When PMV adjusted is greater than 0, it indicates that the temperature is too high, the cabin temperature is adjusted lower by the HVAC system;

[0112] Finally, the system enters a feedback loop, continuously monitoring and adjusting to ensure the comfort of the driver.

Optimize the design of the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) to maximize energy conversion efficiency, including the arrangement of thermoelectric materials, the selection of contact materials and the minimization of thermal resistance.

[0122] 1. Energy priority management

[0123] Priority setting: ATRA uses the electricity generated by TEHS as the preferred energy source when adjusting the cabin temperature. It only uses the electricity from the main battery when the electricity generated by TEHS is not enough to meet the demand.

[0124] 2. User Interface Integration

[0142] The present invention no longer relies solely on the traditional method of manually adjusting the cabin temperature multiple times to achieve a comfortable temperature by personal feeling, but instead achieves this through:

[0143] 1. Subjective temperature control information

[0144] The driver performs subjective temperature adjustment after entering the vehicle cabin, including temperature adjustment through voice recognition, manual button adjustment, and gestures to set some commonly used temperatures in advance.

[0145] 2. Objective temperature control information

[0147] Driver status parameter information, including clothing information (used to estimate thermal resistance) and health status, can be input through mobile phones / HMI terminals / wearable devices; and facial recognition in the cabin can be used to monitor the driver's fatigue status at any time.

[0148] 3. Historical data information

[0149] Including previous temperature settings, the comprehensive temperature that meets the driver's thermal comfort is obtained and real-time intelligent temperature adjustment is achieved.

[0150] Thermal comfort is measured using the PMV thermal comfort model constructed by PMV. The body's thermal sensation is primarily related to its thermal balance; thermal equilibrium occurs when the amount of heat generated within the body equals the amount of heat consumed in the environment. Factors influencing thermal balance include both human and environmental factors. The PMV thermal comfort model integrates both human and environmental variables that influence thermal comfort.

[0151] Energy saving: First, temperature control can shorten the time of traditional subjective repeated temperature control and reduce energy consumption while ensuring comfort; second, it can utilize the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin to generate and collect energy based on the temperature difference effect.

[0152] This program provides solutions for suppliers of thermal management systems for new energy vehicle components. It brings a comfortable and worry-free driving experience to drivers and passengers through energy-saving and intelligent design, promotes energy conservation and emission reduction through scientific and technological means, and creates green value with a systematic concept and technology leadership.

[0153] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concepts of the present invention without inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solutions that can be derived by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the concepts of the present invention and the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
