Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle control, and in particular relates to a method, system, device and vehicle for controlling mosquito repellent in a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, domestic users have more and more demands for the intelligence of smart cars, so the cockpit controller is designed with many situational and scenario-based functions to meet various user needs. When parking in outdoor or open-air conditions such as in parks, fields, scenic spots, etc., opening doors and windows, or outdoor camping and picnics, many mosquitoes will enter the car and bite the driver and passengers in the car, causing trouble. When mosquitoes enter the car, the user's car comfort will be greatly reduced, and if the driver is disturbed by mosquitoes during subsequent driving, it is easy for the driver to be distracted during driving, posing a traffic safety hazard. Therefore, many car manufacturers have developed and designed mosquito repellent functions or mosquito repellent modes for vehicles to target mosquitoes entering the car.

[0003] For example, the patent document "CN115284821A" proposes a control method for a vehicle and a vehicle, which detects whether there are mosquitoes in the vehicle; detects the air quality level P in the vehicle; based on whether there are mosquitoes in the vehicle and the air quality level P in the vehicle, selectively controls the vehicle to enter one of the following modes: mosquito repellent mode, mosquito repellent weak ventilation mode, mosquito repellent strong ventilation mode, ventilation mode, and standby mode. Although this method can achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes, the operation has certain limitations. The driver can only perform local control to repel mosquitoes in the vehicle, and cannot remotely or intelligently schedule to start the mosquito repellent operation in advance.

[0004] Patent document "CN114190359B" proposes a mosquito repellent and fragrance comfort control system and vehicle, which realizes mosquito killing by the fragrance generator assembly through mobile terminal and local selection control in the vehicle. However, this method still requires users to actively select the operation. It is easy for car owners to forget to repel mosquitoes in advance, resulting in users having to wait for active operation when using the mosquito repellent mode, and the human-computer interaction lacks intelligence. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for optimizing the control of a mosquito repellent mode system in a vehicle. By combining the scene mode in which the vehicle is located, the vehicle can be actively and in advance put into the mosquito repellent mode.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling mosquito repellent in a vehicle provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 2 Another flow chart of a method for controlling mosquito repellent in a vehicle provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the method comprising:

[0031] Step S1: The cockpit controller obtains the user's operation instruction and drives the ultrasonic probe and the camera to detect whether there are mosquitoes inside the vehicle;

[0032] For further information, see Figure 2 When the user is camping outside, the vehicle is in camping mode. The user can exit the camping mode through the mobile phone APP or the vehicle system. At this time, the vehicle system will push a reminder dialog box to ask whether to start the mosquito repellent mode. When the user clicks to exit the camping mode through the mobile phone APP, the mobile phone APP transmits the information to the vehicle system through the cloud. After judgment, the vehicle system actively pushes "Camping is over, mosquito repellent mode is about to be turned on, please confirm" and transmits it back to the mobile phone APP through TBOX via the cloud. By checking the mobile phone APP, the user can be reminded in advance that the mosquito repellent mode needs to be turned on before getting on the car (the vehicle system in the cabin synchronously displays relevant classical Chinese and other prompts); when the user clicks to exit the camping mode through the vehicle system display screen, after the user clicks, the vehicle system determines that the camping mode has been exited, and immediately actively pushes the inquiry message "Camping is over, mosquito repellent mode is about to be turned on, please confirm" on the central control display interface.

[0033] Furthermore, in a specific implementation of the present embodiment, the user can also set up a remote appointment for mosquito repellent, and the remote appointment for mosquito repellent can be associated with the remote start function; when it is summer or when the weather is hot, the user wants to start a car that has been parked for a while. If he suspects that there are mosquitoes left in the car at this time, he can select the remote start vehicle through the mobile phone APP (that is, turn on the air conditioner in advance to cool the car) and at the same time, associate and check the mosquito repellent mode.

[0034] Furthermore, when the user issues an operation instruction for the mosquito repellent mode, the cockpit controller in the vehicle enters the automatic mosquito repellent mode after receiving the operation instruction for the mosquito repellent mode. At this time, the cockpit controller will drive the ultrasonic wave and the camera to detect whether there are mosquitoes inside the vehicle. If there are mosquitoes, the mosquitoes will be accurately located.

[0035] Step S2: There are mosquitoes inside the vehicle, and the cabin controller enters the mosquito repellent mode to perform mosquito repellent operations inside the vehicle.

[0036] For further information, see Figure 2When mosquitoes are detected inside the vehicle, the system enters the mosquito repellent mode and starts the mosquito repellent action. The mosquito repellent module cooperates with the vehicle windows to perform the mosquito repellent operation inside the vehicle. Specifically, the vehicle system will automatically control the descent of the windows, turn on the air-conditioning switch to adjust the air-conditioning wind speed, and activate the mosquito repellent fragrance generator preset on the air-conditioning outlet channel. At the same time, the vehicle system display screen and the mobile phone APP will display "Vehicle mosquito repellent, please wait". The mosquito repellent time in the mosquito repellent mode can be set according to user needs. The default mosquito repellent time is set to 10 minutes. When the mosquito repellent is completed or the user forcibly terminates the mosquito repellent mode command, the vehicle system will turn off the automatic mosquito repellent. At this time, the vehicle system will automatically control the rise of the windows to close the windows and turn off the air-conditioning switch.

[0037] Furthermore, the opening and closing of the fragrance generating device is controlled by the wind speed of the air conditioner in the vehicle. When the air conditioner wind speed reaches a preset threshold, the fragrance generating device is automatically turned on. When the air conditioner wind speed is lower than the preset threshold, the fragrance generating device is automatically turned off.

[0040] The cabin detection module is used to detect whether the cabin controller obtains the user's operation instruction, and to drive the ultrasonic probe and the camera to detect whether there are mosquitoes inside the vehicle;

[0041] Furthermore, when the vehicle is currently in an open-air condition, such as parking with doors and windows open in parks, fields, scenic spots, or outdoor camping and picnics, the vehicle status detection module detects the current scene and compares it with the scene preset in the system. If it is the same as the preset scene, it will actively push a prompt message to inform the user to enter the automatic mosquito repellent mode. The user issues an operation instruction for the automatic mosquito repellent mode, and after entering the automatic mosquito repellent mode, the cockpit controller drives the ultrasonic wave and camera to detect whether there are mosquitoes inside the vehicle.

[0042] The cabin mosquito repellent control module is used to control the cabin controller to enter the mosquito repellent mode and perform the mosquito repellent operation in the vehicle after detecting the presence of mosquitoes in the cabin.

[0043] Furthermore, after detecting the presence of mosquitoes inside the vehicle, the mosquito repellent control module will control the descent of the window, turn on the air-conditioning switch to adjust the air-conditioning wind speed, and activate the fragrance generating device with mosquito repellent effect preset in the air-conditioning outlet channel to repel mosquitoes inside the vehicle.

[0044] Furthermore, after the mosquito repellent action is completed, the mosquito repellent control module will control the rising of the car windows to close the windows and turn off the air conditioner.
