[0050] In modern automobile industry, the door trim panel, as an important part of the vehicle appearance, mainly undertakes the role of beautifying the vehicle body and improving the visual effect. These trim panels are usually made of metal or plastic materials, and may be coated with paint or attached with decorative film on their surface to ensure coordination with the overall color and design of the vehicle body. However, the traditional door trim panel has deficiencies in functionality and interactivity, which cannot meet the growing personalized needs in modern life.

[0051] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door trim panel 100 of the vehicle 400 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a panel body 110, a color-changing module 120 and a photovoltaic module 130. Through the cooperation of the color-changing module 120 and the photovoltaic module 130, the functionality and interactivity can be significantly improved, effectively making up for the deficiencies of the traditional door trim panel 100 in terms of personalized needs and energy utilization.

[0052] It can be understood that the panel body 110 can be made of lightweight high-strength plastic material, so that the panel body 110 has good formability and weather resistance, and can adapt to various environmental conditions during long-term use of the vehicle 400.

[0053] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the color-changing module 120 includes a color-changing film 121, and the panel body 110 is embedded on the outer surface of the panel body 110. By controlling the change of current, the color-changing film 121 can realize rapid color conversion.

[0054] It can be understood that the user can select a favorite color or color change mode through the vehicle control system or the mobile phone APP, such as automatically adjusting the color according to the time, weather or driving mode, so that the appearance of the vehicle 400 is more unique and has a high-tech feel.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the photovoltaic module 130 includes a photovoltaic film 131, which has the characteristics of high light transmittance and is covered on the color-changing film 121. The photovoltaic film 131 uses advanced thin-film solar cell technology, which can efficiently absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy without affecting the visual effect of the color-changing film 121.

[0056] It can be understood that the photovoltaic film 131 is connected to the electrical system of the vehicle 400 through wires, and the generated electrical energy can be directly supplied to the interior lighting, audio system or used to charge the vehicle battery, reducing the dependence on the main power supply and improving the energy self-sufficiency of the vehicle 400.

[0057] According to the vehicle door trim plate 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the color-changing module 120 and the photovoltaic module 130 are integrated, which significantly improves the functionality and interactivity, effectively making up for the deficiencies of traditional vehicle door trim plates 100 in terms of personalized needs and energy utilization. Specifically, the color-changing film 121 in the color-changing module 120 can change color according to preset conditions or user instructions, adding dynamic aesthetic effects to the appearance of the vehicle 400, greatly meeting the pursuit of modern consumers for personalized expression. At the same time, the transparent photovoltaic film 131 in the photovoltaic module 130 is covered on the color-changing film 121, which not only protects the color-changing film 121 from direct damage from the external environment, but also converts the received light energy into electrical energy to provide auxiliary power for electronic devices inside the vehicle 400, or stores it in an energy storage device for later use, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency and environmental performance of the vehicle 400.

[0058] Referring to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the vehicle door assembly 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a vehicle door frame 210 and a vehicle door trim plate 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, which is arranged at the lower part of the outer side of the vehicle door frame 210.

[0059] The vehicle door assembly 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application integrates the vehicle door frame 210 and the vehicle door trim plate 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, which has the functions of color-changing and photovoltaic, not only improving the overall appearance and personalization level of the vehicle 400, but also providing additional energy support for the vehicle 400 through the effective use of the photovoltaic module 130, showing high technical innovation and practical value.

[0060] It can be understood that the door frame 210 is made of a solid metal material as the basic structural framework of the door to ensure the overall strength and safety of the door. The design of the door frame 210 conforms to the streamlined appearance of the vehicle 400, while providing necessary mounting points for fixing the window glass, door locking mechanism and other accessories.

[0061] It can be understood that by arranging the door trim plate 100 on the lower part outside the door frame 210, it is convenient for passengers to observe the visual change brought by the color-changing film 121 when getting on and off the vehicle, and at the same time, the photovoltaic film 131 can more effectively receive light, especially during the driving of the vehicle 400, the ambient light can be better utilized for energy conversion.

[0062] It can be understood that the connection between the door trim plate 100 and the door frame 210 adopts a precise assembly process to ensure that the trim plate is flat and tightly fitted without shaking or abnormal sound, and is convenient for later maintenance and replacement.

[0063] In addition, in order to realize the seamless integration between the door trim plate 100 and the door frame 210, sealing strips and fixing clips and other auxiliary components are arranged between the door trim plate 100 and the door frame 210. These components can not only ensure the tight connection between the trim plate and the door frame 210, but also effectively prevent moisture, dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the door, thereby maintaining the good sealing performance and durability of the door assembly 200.

[0064] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be understood that the door assembly 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises a control module 220 and an environment sensing module 230. The color-changing module 120, the photovoltaic module 130 and the environment sensing module 230 are electrically connected with the control module 220. The environment sensing module 230 is configured to be able to sense environmental information, and the control module 220 is configured to be able to control the start and stop of the photovoltaic module 130 and control the color-changing of the color-changing module 120 according to the environmental information. Through the close cooperation of the control module 220 and the environment sensing module 230, not only the efficient use of photovoltaic energy is realized, but also the color-changing module 120 is endowed with more intelligent and flexible color-changing ability, greatly improving the functionality and interactivity of the vehicle 400.

[0065] It should be noted that when the environment sensing module 230 detects sufficient light intensity, it will transmit the information to the control module 220. The control module 220 then starts the photovoltaic module 130, so that the transparent photovoltaic film 131 starts to convert light energy into electrical energy to provide auxiliary power for the electrical system of the vehicle 400. If the light is insufficient or the vehicle 400 enters a dark environment, the control module 220 will intelligently turn off the photovoltaic module 130 to avoid ineffective energy conversion attempts, thereby saving system resources.

[0066] It can be understood that the environment sensing module 230 is integrated with multiple sensors such as an illumination sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, etc., and the multiple sensors cooperate to be able to sense information of the surrounding environment in real time, such as illumination intensity, external temperature, and humidity, etc. These information is crucial for optimizing the working state of the photovoltaic module 130 and the color performance of the color-changing module 120.

[0067] It should be noted that the environment information obtained by the environment sensing module 230 can be transmitted to the control module 220, specifically, according to the change of the external temperature, the control module 220 can adjust the color of the color-changing film 121 to provide a visual cool feeling in hot weather, or to create a warm atmosphere in cold seasons. In addition, the user can also preset a preference setting through the vehicle-mounted control system, so that the color-changing module 120 automatically changes color according to time, weather conditions or specific events, further enhancing the personalized experience.

[0068] Referring to Figure 5 The control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied to the vehicle door assembly 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application, and the control method comprises:

[0069] In step S100, environment information is obtained by the environment sensing module 230;

[0070] In step S200, the start and stop of the photovoltaic module 130 is controlled according to the environment information;

[0071] In step S300, the color of the color-changing module 120 is adjusted according to the environment information.

[0072] It can be understood that the control method starts with the acquisition of environmental information by the environmental sensing module 230. This process involves the use of sensors such as light sensors, temperature sensors, etc. integrated in the vehicle door assembly 200 to monitor and record key parameters such as light intensity, temperature, etc. of the surrounding environment in real time. These environmental information is the basis for subsequent control decisions. Then, according to the information collected by the environmental sensing module 230, the control module 220 will perform a series of logical judgments to determine whether to start or stop the work of the photovoltaic module 130. For example, in sunny and light sufficient weather conditions, the control module 220 will receive a signal of high light intensity, and accordingly instruct the photovoltaic module 130 to start working to convert light energy into electrical energy for the vehicle 400. On the contrary, in rainy or night, when the light intensity is lower than the preset threshold, the control module 220 will turn off the photovoltaic module 130 to avoid invalid energy conversion and possible system loss. At the same time, the control method also includes the step of dynamically adjusting the color of the color-changing module 120 according to the environmental information. In this process, the control module 220 will send instructions to the color-changing module 120 according to environmental information such as temperature, time or user's preset preferences, so as to change the color or switch to a specific color mode. For example, in high temperature weather, the control module 220 may choose a cooler color to provide a cool feeling visually; and in holidays or special occasions, the user can preset the program to let the color-changing module 120 show specific patterns or color combinations to increase the festive atmosphere of the vehicle 400.

[0073] According to the control method provided by the embodiment of the application, through accurate acquisition of environmental information and intelligent control logic, efficient and flexible management of the photovoltaic module 130 and the color-changing module 120 in the vehicle door assembly 200 is realized, which not only improves the energy utilization efficiency and personalization level of the vehicle 400, but also brings a more comfortable and convenient driving experience to the user.

[0074] According to the control method provided by the embodiment of the application, the environmental sensing module 230 includes a light intensity sensor, and the environmental information is acquired by the environmental sensing module 230, including:

[0075] In step S101, the ambient light intensity of the current environment is detected by the light intensity sensor.

[0076] It can be understood that the light intensity sensor will continuously capture the intensity changes of the surrounding light, and convert these light intensity data into electrical signals, and then transmit them to the control module 220. After receiving the signal of the light intensity sensor, the control module 220 will analyze and process it to determine whether the current environmental lighting conditions are suitable for the operation of the photovoltaic module 130. For example, in a sunny day, the light intensity sensor will detect a higher light intensity value, and the control module 220 will determine that the photovoltaic module 130 can be started for energy conversion; while in the night or rainy day, the light intensity value detected by the light intensity sensor will be significantly reduced, and the control module 220 will accordingly turn off the photovoltaic module 130 to avoid invalid operation.

[0077] In addition, the data of the light intensity sensor is also used to adjust the color performance of the color-changing module 120. The control module 220 can dynamically select or switch the color mode of the color-changing module 120 according to the change of light intensity, so as to provide the best visual effect under different lighting conditions. For example, in a strong light environment, the control module 220 can select a softer or lower saturation color to reduce visual stimulation; while in weak light or at night, it can select a more vivid or high-contrast color to improve visibility and safety.

[0078] According to the control method provided by the embodiment of the application, the working state of the photovoltaic module 130 is adjusted according to the environmental information, which comprises:

[0079] Step S201, when the environmental light intensity is greater than or equal to the first preset light intensity, starting the photovoltaic module 130;

[0080] Step S201, when the environmental light intensity is less than the first preset light intensity, turning off the photovoltaic module 130.

[0081] It can be understood that the control module 220 will preset a first preset light intensity value, which is determined according to the performance characteristics of the photovoltaic module 130, the use environment of the vehicle 400 and the energy management requirements. When the environmental light intensity detected by the light intensity sensor is greater than or equal to the first preset light intensity, the control module 220 will send a starting instruction to the photovoltaic module 130 to make it start working and convert light energy into electrical energy. In this way, under sufficient light conditions, the photovoltaic module 130 can fully exert its performance and provide auxiliary power for the vehicle 400.

[0082] Conversely, when the light intensity sensor detects that the ambient light intensity is less than the first preset light intensity, the control module 220 determines that the current light condition is insufficient to support the photovoltaic module 130 to work effectively. In order to avoid invalid energy conversion attempts and possible system damage, the control module 220 sends a shutdown instruction to the photovoltaic module 130, so that it stops working and enters a standby state. This strategy helps to protect the photovoltaic module 130 from potential damage under low light conditions, while saving energy and system resources of the vehicle 400.

[0083] According to the control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the working state of the color-changing module 120 is adjusted according to the environmental information, which comprises:

[0084] In step S301, when the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to the second preset light intensity, the color-changing module 120 is started and the color is changed.

[0085] It can be understood that the control module 220 will preset a second preset light intensity value, which is usually lower than the first preset light intensity, so as to trigger the working of the color-changing module 120 in a darker environment. When the light intensity sensor detects that the ambient light intensity is less than or equal to the second preset light intensity, the control module 220 determines that the current environment needs to enhance the visual comfort or personalized performance. Then, the control module 220 sends a start instruction to the color-changing module 120, and instructs the color-changing module 120 to change its color according to the preset color change logic or user preference.

[0086] After receiving the instruction, the color-changing module 120 will respond quickly by adjusting its internal LED lights or other color adjustment mechanisms to display new colors or color combinations. These color changes can be gradual, jumping, or cycling according to a specific pattern to meet the aesthetic needs of different users and scene needs. For example, when driving at night or in a tunnel, the color-changing module 120 can switch to soft warm tones to create a warm and safe atmosphere.

[0087] Referring to Figure 6 As shown in the figure, according to the vehicle controller 300 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle door assembly 200 comprises a door trim panel 100, a control module 220 and an environmental sensing module 230, the door trim panel 100 comprises a panel body 110, a color-changing module 120 and a photovoltaic module 130, and the vehicle controller 300 comprises:

[0088] The acquisition module 310 is configured to be able to obtain environmental information through the environmental sensing module 230;

[0089] The execution module 320 is configured to be able to adjust the start and shutdown of the photovoltaic module 130 and adjust the color of the color-changing module 120.

[0090] According to the embodiment of the present application, a vehicle controller 300 is provided, which realizes accurate control of the photovoltaic module 130 and the color-changing module 120 in the vehicle door assembly 200, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency and personalization level of the vehicle 400.

[0091] It can be understood that the acquisition module 310, as an information input end, is carefully configured to obtain real-time environmental information through the environmental sensing module 230. The environmental information includes but is not limited to key parameters such as light intensity and temperature, which are crucial for subsequent control decisions. The acquisition module 310 ensures the accuracy and timeliness of the information through close cooperation with the environmental sensing module 230. The execution module 320 is the output end of the vehicle controller 300, which is responsible for intelligently adjusting the photovoltaic module 130 and the color-changing module 120 according to the environmental information obtained by the acquisition module 310. Specifically, when the acquisition module 310 detects that the environmental light intensity reaches or exceeds the preset threshold, the execution module 320 starts the photovoltaic module 130 to begin converting light energy into electrical energy; when the light intensity is lower than the threshold, the execution module 320 turns off the photovoltaic module 130 to avoid invalid operation. At the same time, the execution module 320 also dynamically adjusts the color of the color-changing module 120 according to the environmental information or user's preset preferences to provide the best visual effect and personalized experience.

[0093] According to the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle 400 provided by the present application not only improves the energy utilization efficiency and personalization level of the vehicle 400, but also provides users with a more intelligent, comfortable and convenient driving experience.

[0094] It can be understood that the vehicle door assembly 200 includes the vehicle door trim 100, specifically including the plate body 110, the color-changing module 120 and the photovoltaic module 130. The plate body 110, as the basic structure of the vehicle door, provides necessary support and protection; the color-changing module 120 can flexibly change color according to environmental information or user instructions, adding personalization and fashion to the vehicle 400; the photovoltaic module 130 further utilizes transparent photovoltaic film 131 technology to convert part of the vehicle door area into an energy collection surface, effectively converting light energy into electrical energy to provide auxiliary power for the electrical system of the vehicle 400.

[0095] In addition, the vehicle door assembly 200 is also equipped with a control module 220 and an environmental sensing module 230, which realizes intelligent control of the color-changing module 120 and the photovoltaic module 130. The environmental sensing module 230 can obtain information of the surrounding environment in real time, such as light intensity, temperature, etc., and transmit these information to the control module 220. The control module 220 then adjusts the start-stop of the photovoltaic module 130 and the color of the color-changing module 120 according to these information, to ensure that the vehicle door assembly 200 can perform best in various environments.

[0096] The vehicle 400 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a power battery, and the color-changing module 120, the photovoltaic module 130 and the environmental sensing module 230 are electrically connected with the power battery.

[0098] Specifically, after the photovoltaic module 130 converts light energy into electrical energy through electrical connection, it can directly store this part of electrical energy into the power battery or provide auxiliary power for other electrical equipment of the vehicle 400. In this way, the photovoltaic module 130 not only improves the energy utilization efficiency of the vehicle 400, but also reduces the burden of the power battery and prolongs its service life.

[0099] At the same time, the color-changing module 120 and the environmental sensing module 230 also obtain necessary electrical energy from the power battery through electrical connection to support their normal work. After receiving the instruction of the control module 220, the color-changing module 120 will quickly adjust the color, while the environmental sensing module 230 will obtain information of the surrounding environment in real time and transmit these information to the control module 220. The realization of these functions all depends on the stable electrical energy provided by the power battery.

[0100] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle 400 can be a private car, such as a sedan, an SUV, an MPV or a pickup truck, etc. The vehicle 400 can also be an operational vehicle, such as a van, a bus, a small truck or a large trailer, etc. The vehicle 400 can be a gasoline car or a new energy car. When the vehicle 400 is a new energy car, it can be a hybrid car or a pure electric car.
