[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automobile air conditioning control, and particularly relates to an intelligent air outlet control method and system for automobile air conditioning. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0003] The air conditioner of a new energy vehicle is a major energy consumer of the vehicle thermal management system, and is frequently used in various scenarios. The current automobile air conditioner is turned on regardless of whether the vehicle front passenger seat or rear seats are occupied, which will increase unnecessary energy consumption.

[0004] In addition, the air outlet direction of the automobile air conditioner outlet generally needs to be manually adjusted by the driver and passenger according to the needs. For the driver, there is a safety hazard. At present, the air outlet mode for different parts on the vehicle is usually realized based on image recognition. However, image recognition requires additional installation of a camera, and the identification of the target and the adjustment of the angle conversion based on the image are relatively complex and have a large amount of computation.

[0017] In response to a feedback signal of the main / assistant driver seat adjustment, pressure distribution data on the seat is obtained, a designated human body part is identified, and the position of the target part is estimated according to the designated human body part.

[0018] According to the estimated position of the target part relative to the positions of the pressure sensors and the positions of the pressure sensors relative to the center of the air conditioner air outlet in the area where the seat is located, the estimated position of the target part relative to the center of the air conditioner air outlet is obtained, and the adjustment amplitude of the air conditioner air outlet air outlet direction is determined.

[0032] Embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. While certain embodiments of the application are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the application can be carried out in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather should be construed to cover any alternatives falling within the scope thereof. It is understood that the drawings and examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.

[0033] In the description of embodiments of the present application, the term "includes" and its derivatives are open-ended, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" is intended to mean "based, at least in part, on".

[0034] Figure 1 The distribution of the vehicle interior seat and air outlet is shown. In the figure, the main driver air outlet 1 and the main driver air outlet 2 are two air outlets corresponding to the main driver area A1, the co-driver air outlet 1 and the co-driver air outlet 2 are two air outlets corresponding to the co-driver area A2, and the rear row air outlet is an air outlet corresponding to the rear row area, which can be divided into a rear row left area A3 and a rear row right area A4.

[0035] Figure 2 The application environment of the intelligent air outlet control method of the automobile air conditioner in one or more embodiments of the present application is shown. Specifically, the air conditioning system A202 is in communication connection with the seat adjustment module A201, the passenger detection module A204, the air outlet control module A203 and the car module A205. The air conditioning system A202 can detect the passenger seating condition from the passenger detection module A204, and then control the start and stop of the air conditioner according to the region. When the seat adjustment module A201 obtains the feedback signal of the seat adjustment, according to the adjustment direction and amplitude of the seat, the amplitude of the air outlet direction of the air conditioner in the region where the seat is located needs to be adjusted, and then the corresponding control instruction is sent to the air outlet control module A203. The car module A205 can receive voice instructions and obtain the working state of each air outlet in real time.

[0036] Specifically, the passenger detection module A204 is realized based on the sensors arranged on the driver seat, the co-driver seat and the rear seats, which can simultaneously collect whether there is a person sitting on the driver seat in the driver area A1, the co-driver seat in the co-driver area A2, the rear left seat in the rear left area A3 and the rear right seat in the rear right area A4, and send the information to the air conditioning system A202.

[0037] The seat adjustment module A201 can detect the up-down and / or front-back adjustment of the driver seat in the driver area A1 and the co-driver seat in the co-driver area A2 at the same time, and simultaneously feed back the current real-time position information to the air conditioning system A202, which instructs the air outlet control module A203 to adjust the air blowing direction of the corresponding area.

[0038] The air outlet control module A203 can control the driver air outlet 1, the driver air outlet 2, the co-driver air outlet 1, the co-driver air outlet 2 and the rear air outlet at the same time, wherein the driver air outlet 1 and the driver air outlet 2 simultaneously provide air outlet for the driver area A1, the co-driver air outlet 1 and the co-driver air outlet 2 simultaneously provide air outlet for the driver area A2, and the rear air outlet simultaneously provides air outlet for the rear left area A3 and the rear right area A4; each air outlet can be electrically adjusted up-down and / or left-right, and can be closed and / or opened; the air outlet control module A203 needs to execute and feed back the execution result to the air conditioning system A202.

[0039] The air conditioning system A202 includes an air conditioning control module and an air conditioning box, and can realize the functions of cooling, heating and dehumidifying in the passenger cabin, and support independent adjustment of the temperature and air outlet mode of the driver side, the co-driver side and the rear row; and communicate with the seat adjustment module A201, the passenger detection module A204, the air outlet control module A203 and the car machine module A205 to determine the state of the air outlet at all times and adjust the corresponding air outlet.

[0040] The car machine module A205 can display the air outlet state information fed back by the air conditioning system A202 at all times, and can accept user instructions and convey the corresponding instructions to the air conditioning module A202.

[0041] One or more embodiments of the present application provide an intelligent air outlet control method for automobile air conditioning, which detects whether there is a person sitting on each seat in the current vehicle in real time, and reports the result to the passenger detection module; in combination with the detection of whether there is a person sitting on the current seat, it is determined whether the air outlet of the current area needs to be closed or opened, and then through the detected up-down and / or left-right adjustment of the driver seat and / or the co-driver seat, the air outlet is compensated up-down and / or left-right according to the initial defined target part and the initial corresponding position relationship of the air outlet, so that it can follow the target part synchronously. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

[0042] S301: In the case that the vehicle air conditioning is turned on, the passenger seating signal is monitored in real time, and the opening and closing of the air outlet of the air conditioning in each seating area is controlled to ensure that the air outlet of the air conditioning in the area where a person is sitting is opened;

[0043] S302: In response to the feedback signal of the adjustment of the driver seat and / or the co-driver seat, the adjustment amplitude of the air outlet direction of the air conditioning outlet in the corresponding area is determined according to the adjustment amplitude of the seat relative to the initial position;

[0044] S303: Adjust the air outlet direction of the air conditioner of the corresponding area.

[0045] In the step S301, the air conditioning system is turned on to realize the refrigeration, heating or ventilation in the vehicle, which is the premise of the present application.

[0046] In some embodiments, a sensor arranged on the seat is used to detect whether a passenger is seated. Specifically, the sensor can be a pressure sensor, and when the pressure value sensed by the pressure sensor is within a certain set range, it is considered that a passenger is seated.

[0047] By turning on the air conditioner only for the area with passengers, the energy consumption can be reduced. As an example, if only the driver seat and the front passenger seat are occupied, the rear air outlet is turned off.

[0048] In the step S302, the movement of the driver seat and the front passenger seat means that the passenger's posture is adjusted, and therefore the air outlet direction may deviate from the target position. Therefore, in one or more embodiments of the present application, the change of the seat is used as the timing to determine whether the air outlet direction needs to be adjusted, which is lower in energy consumption and computational complexity than the method based on machine vision which needs to monitor the user's actions at all times.

[0049] The target position is a certain designated position of the target user. As an example, the breathing point of the face can be used as the target position.

[0050] As a specific implementation of the step S302, since the driver seat and the front passenger seat can be adjusted by a large range, the driver and the front passenger have a large range of postures, while the rear seats cannot be adjusted, and the rear passengers are seated in a sitting position, so the range of the change of the posture is not large, and the change is mainly the change of the seating position. Based on this, the initial air outlet direction of the air outlet of the driver seat, the front passenger seat and the rear seats, and the adjustment range after the adjustment of the seat are calibrated respectively, considering only the up-down and left-right positions of the seat.

[0051] Calibration of the air outlet direction of the driver area and the front passenger area:

[0052] It should be noted that when the air outlet direction is fixed, the deviation of the air outlet direction felt by the passenger is more obvious when the driver seat and the front passenger seat are adjusted up and down or forward and backward, and therefore only the up-down or forward-backward adjustment of the seat is considered here.

[0053] The driver air outlet 1, the driver air outlet 2, the front passenger air outlet 1 and the front passenger air outlet 2 are defined from left to right adjustment interval: 0-100%, from bottom to top adjustment interval: 0-100%.

[0054] The driver seat and the front passenger seat are defined from bottom to top adjustment interval: 0-100%, from front to back adjustment interval: 0-100%.

[0055] Define the initial position of the main / sub driver seat, for example, define the initial position as a% and b% in front-back and up-down positions respectively, adjust the air outlet direction of the user's area to the target part, and take the air outlet direction at this time as the air outlet calibration direction of the initial position of the main / sub driver seat. For example, the up-down and left-right positions of the main driver air outlet 1 corresponding to the main driver air outlet calibration direction are e% and f% respectively, and the up-down and left-right positions of the main driver air outlet 2 are e% and (100-f)% respectively, and the same applies to the co-driver side. Get the correspondence between the initial position of the main / sub driver seat and the air outlet direction of the main / sub driver area air conditioner, and all subsequent adjustments are based on the initial corresponding position for compensation.

[0056] Calibration of rear area air outlet air outlet direction:

[0057] Define the rear air outlet adjustment interval from left to right: 0-100%, and from bottom to top: 0-100%.

[0058] For rear seats, calibration is performed for the case where only one side has a passenger seated and the case where both sides have a passenger seated.

[0059] Only when the rear left area seat has a passenger seated, adjust the rear air outlet direction to face the user's face breathing point, and the air outlet direction at this time is recorded as the calibrated direction. For example, the up-down and left-right positions are e% and f% respectively. Similarly, only when the rear right area seat has a passenger seated, the air outlet direction is calibrated, for example, the up-down and left-right positions are e% and (100-f)% respectively.

[0060] If the rear left and right areas have passengers seated, the calibration direction is: the up-down position is e%, and the left-right position is swept from 0-100%-0.

[0061] Calibration of main / sub driver area air outlet air outlet direction with seat adjustment amplitude:

[0062] When the main / sub driver seat is adjusted, the target part will change relative to the air outlet direction, for example, when adjusting forward or upward, the face breathing point will move upward relative to the air outlet direction, and when adjusting backward or downward, the face breathing point will move downward relative to the air outlet direction. Therefore, the adjustment amplitude of the seat and the adjustment amplitude of the air outlet air outlet direction of the corresponding area air conditioner need to be calibrated.

[0063] It can be understood that the above initialization operation can be calibrated in advance in the factory stage, for example, based on users of different heights, different target parts, and then for different target parts, the following main / sub driver air outlet direction adjustment control strategy is obtained: the initial position parameter of the seat corresponding to different height intervals, the initial air outlet direction parameter of the air outlet of the air conditioner corresponding to the region, the corresponding relationship between the amplitude of the air outlet left and right adjustment and the amplitude of the air outlet up and down adjustment when the seat moves up / down by a unit distance. Based on this, the user can select the air outlet direction control strategy suitable for himself according to his favorite target part and his own height.

[0064] After the above calibration process, in response to the feedback signal of the main / sub driver seat adjustment, the amplitude of the air outlet direction adjustment of the air conditioner outlet corresponding to the region can be determined according to the adjustment direction and amplitude of the seat and the above main / sub driver air outlet direction adjustment control strategy.

[0065] As an example, taking the main driver region detection as an example, if a person is seated and the main driver seat is still in the default position a% and b%, then the main driver air outlet 1 is opened and maintained at the up / down and left / right positions e% and f% position air outlet, and the main driver air outlet 2 is opened and maintained at the up / down and left / right positions e% and (100-f)% position air outlet, so that the air outlet reaches the face breathing point. Assuming that the main driver seat moves forward by x%, the air outlet direction left and right adjustment is z%, and the main driver seat moves up by y%, the air outlet direction up and down adjustment is w%. If the main driver side passenger moves the seat to (a-x)% position at this time, the air outlet needs to adjust the air outlet direction left and right adjustment z% because the passenger's face breathing point moves forward, at this time, the main driver air outlet 1 is adjusted to the up / down and left / right positions e% and (f+z)% position air outlet, and the main driver air outlet 2 is adjusted to the up / down and left / right positions e% and (100-f-z)% position air outlet, then the seat moves forward or backward by x%, and the air outlet direction left and right adjustment is z%; if the main driver side passenger moves the seat to (b+y)% position on this basis, the air outlet needs to adjust the air outlet direction up and down adjustment w% because the passenger's face breathing point moves up, at this time, the main driver air outlet 1 is adjusted to the up / down and left / right positions (e+w)% and (f+z)% position air outlet, and the main driver air outlet 2 is adjusted to the up / down and left / right positions (e+w)% and (100-f-z)% position air outlet, then the seat moves up or down by y%, and the air outlet direction up and down adjustment is w%; the adjustment logic of the co-driver region is equivalent to that of the main driver side region.

[0066] Similarly, for the rear passengers, the above calibration process can also be performed, and for the rear seats, different target parts are obtained. The following rear air outlet direction adjustment control strategies are obtained: different height intervals correspond to air conditioning air outlet initial air outlet direction parameters. Based on this, according to the position of the passenger, the rear air conditioning air outlet is controlled to blow air at the calibrated air outlet direction. As an example, only when the rear left area seat is occupied by a passenger, the rear air outlet is opened and maintained to blow air at the e% and f% positions in the up / down and left / right positions, only when the rear right area seat is occupied by a passenger, the rear air outlet is opened and maintained to blow air at the e% and (100-f)% positions in the up / down and left / right positions, and if both the rear left and right areas are occupied by passengers, the rear air outlet is opened and maintained to blow air at the e% position in the up / down position and the left / right position is swept from 0-100%-0.

[0067] Of course, users have individual needs, such as different passengers having different requirements for target parts, so this function can also be calibrated by the user. It can be understood that the car owner can calibrate the air conditioning air outlet direction corresponding to each seat area according to the situation of the regular passenger, as needed, to make it more in line with their own comfort requirements.

[0068] Based on the above technical solution, the air conditioning air outlet in the area occupied by a person is realized to move with the person, and the air outlet in the area not occupied by a person is closed, thereby achieving intelligent air outlet control and effectively reducing energy consumption.

[0069] By establishing different height ranges and different target part corresponding air outlet direction control strategies, the wind can be realized to move with the person. However, the above implementation scheme is applicable to cars shared by family members, company or organization public cars, and the passengers on each seat are not fixed, especially the personnel on the driver's seat and the front passenger's seat are not fixed, and frequent calibration or selection of calibrated strategies is required. Obviously, it is somewhat cumbersome, and the above implementation scheme does not consider the adjustment of the backrest.

[0070] As another specific implementation of step S302, in order to further improve the intelligence of the air conditioning air outlet direction following, make it adapt to users of different heights, in some embodiments, a plurality of sensors are uniformly arranged on the backrest of the seat, and in response to the feedback signal of the main / driving seat adjustment, the pressure distribution data on the seat is obtained, the specified human body part is identified, such as shoulders, neck, and the position of the target part is estimated according to the human body proportion.

[0071] Specifically, as the human body sits on the chair back, the pressure on the chair back has the obvious rule that the middle part is greater than the two sides, and the pressure on the neck is very small or not sensed. Considering that the head is usually, therefore, the specified target part can be estimated according to the distribution of the hip, shoulder, neck and the like. As an example, the shoulder and neck can be regarded as the specified human body part, according to the feature that the distance from the shoulder to the top of the head is about 28-30 cm, the center line of the spine is determined according to the pressure distribution data, and the highest point of the recognized trunk region on the center line is estimated as the position of the facial breathing point at a position of 14-15 cm upward. Of course, for the driver, the head needs to be kept upright, so there is a certain distance between the highest point of the recognized trunk region and the actual shoulder-neck junction, so a certain compensation distance can be set. Similarly, the positions of other target parts can be estimated based on the human body proportion.

[0072] A space coordinate system is established with any point on the vehicle as the origin, the positions of the centers of the air conditioning outlets and the initial positions of the seats in the space coordinate system are determined, the pressure distribution data on the seat are obtained in response to the feedback signal of the main / assistant seat adjustment, the specified human body part is identified, and the position of the target part is estimated, the position of the target part relative to the center of the air conditioning outlet is obtained according to the estimated position of the target part relative to the positions of the pressure sensors and the positions of the pressure sensors relative to the center of the air conditioning outlet in the region where the seat is located, that is, the target direction when the air conditioning outlet blows air towards the target part is obtained, and the adjustment range of the air conditioning outlet blowing direction is determined.

[0073] Based on this, no matter how the seat is adjusted and how the height of the occupant is, the adjustment of the air outlet blowing direction can be estimated, and adaptive control is realized.

[0074] At the same time, the air conditioning system feeds back the adjusted actual air outlet position information to the vehicle system, the vehicle system has an interface to display the current air outlet state, so that the user can see the air outlet situation in the vehicle in real time, and can also instruct to open or close the air outlet in the corresponding region.

[0075] Figure 4 The control method flow chart of the intelligent air outlet of an embodiment of the present application. The present application aims to use the vehicle and turn on the air conditioner after the user, and the air conditioning system will intelligently optimize the air outlet scheme combined with the situation of the occupant in the vehicle, so as to achieve intelligent air outlet control and effectively reduce energy consumption. In order to have a deeper understanding of the present application, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 4 An embodiment flow chart is provided for detailed description.

[0076] A400: The premise of realizing the present application is to realize the refrigeration, heating or ventilation in the vehicle by opening the air conditioning system. After opening, the air conditioning system will combine the relevant information collected by the seat adjustment module and the occupant detection module, and comprehensively judge to instruct the air outlet adjustment module and the vehicle system to execute and display;

[0077] A401: After the air conditioner is turned on, the occupant detection module is used to determine whether there is a person sitting on the main driver's seat and the front passenger's seat. For the area without a person sitting, the corresponding area air outlet is closed, and S401 is executed. If there is a person, S402 is executed. At the same time, it is detected whether there is a person sitting on the rear left seat, and the rear right seat is comprehensively judged whether there is a person sitting on the rear right seat.

[0078] A402: In A401, it is determined whether there is a person sitting on the corresponding area seat. For the area with a person sitting, the air conditioning system obtains the seat adjustment condition detected by the seat adjustment module, and dynamically adjusts the air outlet position. For the up / down adjustment of the main driver's seat and / or the front passenger's seat, the compensation is judged. When up / down adjustment occurs without front / back adjustment, only the up / down blowing position of each air outlet is adjusted to execute S403. When up / down adjustment and front / back adjustment occur, the up / down and left / right blowing positions of each air outlet are adjusted to execute S404. When front / back adjustment occurs without up / down adjustment, the left / right blowing position of each air outlet is adjusted to execute S405. For the rear area, it is necessary to continue to detect whether there is a person sitting on the rear right seat. When there is a person sitting on the rear left seat and there is no person sitting on the rear right seat, S406 is executed. When there is a person sitting on the rear left seat and there is a person sitting on the rear right seat, S407 is executed. When there is no person sitting on the rear left seat and there is a person sitting on the rear right seat, S408 is executed. When there is no person sitting on the rear left seat and there is no person sitting on the rear right seat, S409 is executed. The specific execution logic involved is defined in the A303 chapter, and the logic can be set by the person himself according to the real vehicle calibration or by the person himself. Here, only exemplary description is made, and no specific limitation is made.

[0079] A403: After adjusting the air outlet by the above-mentioned logic, the air conditioning system will feed back the executed result to the vehicle system, and the air outlet state will be displayed in real time through the display interface of the vehicle system, so that the user can know the current air outlet state at any time and can perform corresponding operation.
