Sunshade requirements refer to the requirements to reduce direct sunlight in the passenger compartment.

[0079] Step 220, when the passenger compartment requirement is an anti-fogging requirement, adjust the operating state of the air conditioning component in the target vehicle.

[0080] The operating status of the air conditioning assembly is used to indicate the working conditions of each component in the air conditioning assembly. In some embodiments, the various components in the air conditioning assembly are adjusted to achieve functions such as heating, cooling, and ventilation. The anti-fogging requirements are met by adjusting the operating status of the air conditioning assembly.

[0081] In some embodiments, the glass temperature, the interior temperature and the interior humidity are obtained, where the glass temperature refers to the temperature on the inside of the front windshield of the target vehicle, the interior temperature refers to the temperature inside the target vehicle, and the interior humidity refers to the humidity inside the target vehicle; based on the glass temperature, the interior temperature and the interior humidity, the fogging probability of the front windshield is obtained, and the fogging probability is used to indicate the possibility of fogging of the front windshield; when the ambient temperature of the target vehicle is less than the ambient temperature threshold, the operating state of the air-conditioning component in the target vehicle is adjusted based on the fogging probability, and the ambient temperature refers to the temperature of the external environment in which the target vehicle is located.

[0082] In some embodiments, the air conditioning assembly includes at least one of the following: a humidity sensor, a windshield temperature sensor, an in-vehicle temperature sensor, and may also include other sensors, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. A humidity sensor is a sensing device that detects ambient humidity. In an embodiment of the present application, the humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity inside the target vehicle. A windshield temperature sensor is a sensing device that detects the temperature of the windshield. In an embodiment of the present application, a windshield temperature sensor is a sensing device that detects the temperature of the inside of the windshield. An in-vehicle temperature sensor is a sensing device that detects the temperature inside the target vehicle.

[0083] In some embodiments, the air conditioning assembly includes an air conditioning controller, which is used to control the working state of each component in the air conditioning assembly. In some embodiments, the air conditioning controller calculates the fogging probability of the front windshield by analyzing the glass temperature, the temperature inside the vehicle, and the humidity inside the vehicle; and controls the working state of each component in the air conditioning assembly based on the fogging probability of the front windshield.

[0084] In some embodiments, the glass temperature and the humidity in the vehicle are transmitted to the air conditioning controller via a bus. For example, after the windshield temperature sensor collects the glass temperature and the humidity sensor collects the humidity in the vehicle, they are transmitted to the BCM (Body Control Module) via the LIN (Local Interconnect Network) bus, and the BCM transmits it to the air conditioning controller via the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus.

[0085] In some embodiments, the dew point temperature is obtained based on the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle, and the dew point temperature is the temperature critical value at which fogging begins in the target vehicle; based on the dew point temperature, the humidity inside the vehicle, the glass temperature and the temperature inside the vehicle, the fogging probability of the front windshield is obtained.

[0086] The dew point temperature refers to the critical temperature at which water vapor in the air begins to condense into liquid water during the cooling process. When the water vapor in the air reaches saturation, that is, when the humidity in the car reaches 100%, the excess water vapor will condense to form dew, and the dew point temperature is the critical temperature at which this process occurs.

[0087] For example, the dew point temperature T d It can be calculated by the following formula:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, T is the temperature inside the car, and RH is the humidity inside the car.

[0090] In some embodiments, a fogging probability model is constructed regarding the dew point temperature, the humidity inside the vehicle, the glass temperature, and the temperature inside the vehicle; through the fogging probability model, the fogging probability of the front windshield is obtained based on the dew point temperature, the humidity inside the vehicle, the glass temperature, and the temperature inside the vehicle. Among them, the fogging probability model is used to predict the fogging risk of the front windshield under different environmental conditions. Optionally, the fogging probability model can be a mathematical model. For example, the fogging probability model can be a linear model or an exponential model, or it can be other mathematical models, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the method for calculating the fogging probability based on the dew point temperature, the humidity inside the vehicle, the glass temperature, and the temperature inside the vehicle.

[0091] The ambient temperature refers to the temperature of the external air around the target vehicle, also known as the outside temperature or the atmospheric temperature. The ambient temperature threshold refers to the ambient temperature at which fogging is likely to occur, which is pre-set by relevant technicians based on experiments, calibration data or predictions, etc., and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0092] When the ambient temperature is less than 15 degrees, the car does not need cooling effect, but in this ambient temperature range, the front windshield is easy to fog up. In the related art, in order to prevent fogging, no matter how many passengers are in the target vehicle or how much humidity is in the vehicle, the compressor needs to be turned on all the time to dehumidify and avoid fogging. The compressor is a load with high power consumption. If the compressor is kept on, the target vehicle will consume a lot of energy due to the compressor.

[0093] In some embodiments, when the probability of fogging is greater than a first fogging threshold, the operating state of the air-conditioning component in the target vehicle is adjusted to a first operating state; when the probability of fogging is less than a second fogging threshold, the operating state of the air-conditioning component in the target vehicle is adjusted to a second operating state; wherein the first fogging threshold is greater than the second fogging threshold.

[0094] The first operating state of the air conditioning component refers to an air conditioning operating mode for preventing or eliminating fogging of the front windshield. The second operating state of the air conditioning component refers to an energy-saving air conditioning operating mode under the anti-fogging requirement.

[0095] The first fogging threshold refers to the threshold value for the air conditioning component to enter the first operating state. The second fogging threshold refers to the threshold value for the air conditioning component to enter the second operating state. In some embodiments, the first fogging threshold and the second fogging threshold are parameters obtained by relevant technicians after calibration based on the target vehicle. Due to the different space sizes and airflow fields of different vehicles, the first fogging threshold and the second fogging threshold corresponding to different models will also be different.

[0096] Step 230, when the passenger compartment demand is a heating demand and the operating mode of the target vehicle is switched from the first operating mode to the second operating mode, the passenger compartment is heated using the heat of the coolant of the engine corresponding to the first operating mode, and the first operating mode and the second operating mode use different engines to drive the target vehicle.

[0097] The operating mode of the target vehicle refers to the driving mode of the target vehicle under different working conditions. The first operating mode and the second operating mode of the target vehicle correspond to different driving modes, and different power sources are used to drive the target vehicle. The power source refers to the energy source that drives the target vehicle, which may include but is not limited to: internal combustion engine, electric motor, power battery, hybrid power, solar energy, etc., and may also include other power sources, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0098] In some embodiments, the operating mode of the target vehicle includes an internal combustion engine mode and a pure electric mode, the engine includes an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, the internal combustion engine mode refers to a mode in which the internal combustion engine is used to drive the target vehicle, and the pure electric mode refers to a mode in which the electric motor is used to drive the target vehicle.

[0099] Internal combustion engine mode means that the target vehicle is mainly powered by an internal combustion engine to drive the target vehicle. An internal combustion engine (ICE), also known as a fuel engine, is an engine that generates energy by burning fuel to drive a vehicle. In some embodiments, the types of internal combustion engines may include, but are not limited to: gasoline engines, diesel engines, turbocharged engines, two-stroke engines, and may also include other types of internal combustion engines, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Pure electric mode means that the target vehicle is powered by an electric motor to drive the target vehicle. An electric motor is an engine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the target vehicle.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first operating mode can be an internal combustion engine mode or a pure electric mode. Correspondingly, the second operating mode can be a pure electric mode or an internal combustion engine mode. That is to say, when the target vehicle switches its operating mode, the engine corresponding to the switched operating mode stops operating, but the heat generated during operation has not disappeared. The remaining heat of the engine corresponding to the switched operating mode can be used to heat the passenger compartment, thereby reducing the heating power consumption of the heating core or the high-voltage electric heater, thereby achieving energy saving.

[0101] In summary, the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application adjusts the operating status of the air-conditioning components in the target vehicle according to the passenger compartment requirements of the target vehicle, or uses the heat of the suspended engine to heat the passenger compartment of the target vehicle to meet the passenger compartment requirements. It realizes the use of appropriate strategies according to different passenger compartment requirements, meets the passenger compartment requirements with less energy consumption, and improves the endurance of the target vehicle.

[0102] The following introduces the thermal management strategy for anti-fog needs.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first operating state and the second operating state of the air conditioning component can be implemented based on thermal management strategy one and / or thermal management strategy two.

[0104] 1. Thermal Management Strategy 1

[0105] In some embodiments, when the air conditioning component enters a first operating state, the compressor in the air conditioning component is turned on; when the air conditioning component enters a second operating state, the compressor in the air conditioning component is turned off.

[0106] The compressor is the device in the air conditioning unit that is used for cooling.

[0107] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a flow chart of thermal management strategy 1 provided by an embodiment of the present application, in which the glass temperature and the humidity in the car are transmitted to the air-conditioning controller through the bus. Exemplarily, after the windshield temperature sensor completes the acquisition of the glass temperature and the humidity sensor completes the acquisition of the humidity in the car, they are transmitted to the BCM through the LIN bus, and the BCM transmits it to the air-conditioning controller through the CAN bus. After the in-car temperature sensor completes the acquisition of the in-car temperature, it transmits the in-car temperature to the air-conditioning controller. The air-conditioning controller obtains the fogging probability of the front windshield based on the glass temperature, the in-car temperature and the in-car humidity. When the fogging probability is greater than the first fogging threshold, it indicates that the front windshield has a risk of fogging, and the air-conditioning component enters the first operating mode and turns on the compressor. When the fogging probability is less than the second fogging threshold, it indicates that there is no risk of fogging on the front windshield, and the air-conditioning component enters the second operating mode and turns off the compressor.

[0108] Thermal management strategy 1 determines whether there is a risk of fogging based on the probability of fogging. When there is a risk of fogging, the compressor is turned on. After the compressor is turned on, the humidity in the car decreases. When the humidity in the car decreases to a level where there is no risk of fogging, the compressor is turned off. Turning the compressor on and off based on the probability of fogging means that the compressor does not need to be turned on all the time, greatly reducing the energy consumption caused by the compressor.

[0109] 2. Thermal Management Strategy 2

[0110] When the ambient temperature is less than 15 degrees, the target vehicle has a heating demand, but in this ambient temperature range, it is easy to fog. In the relevant technology, in order to prevent fogging, the air conditioning component adopts a full external circulation method. However, if the air conditioning component adopts a full external circulation method, since the air outside the target vehicle is relatively cold, a large amount of cold air enters the target vehicle, which is not conducive to the increase of the temperature inside the vehicle.

[0111] In some embodiments, the air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation of the air conditioning component is adjusted.

[0112] In some embodiments, the air conditioning assembly further comprises an outer circulation damper and an inner circulation damper. In some embodiments, the air intake ratio of the inner and outer circulation of the air conditioning assembly is adjusted by controlling the opening size of the outer circulation damper and the inner circulation damper.

[0113] In some embodiments, when the air conditioning component enters the first operating state, the air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation of the air conditioning component is adjusted to a defogger air intake ratio; when the air conditioning component enters the second operating state, the air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation of the air conditioning component is adjusted to an energy-saving air intake ratio.

[0114] The demisting air intake ratio is a preset air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation of the air-conditioning component in the first operating state. For example, the demisting air intake ratio can be 100% for the external circulation. The energy-saving air intake ratio is a preset air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation of the air-conditioning component in the second operating state. For example, the energy-saving air intake ratio: the external circulation is 50%, and the internal circulation is 50%. For example, the energy-saving air intake ratio: the external circulation is 40%, and the internal circulation is 60%. In some embodiments, the proportion of the external circulation in the demisting air intake ratio is higher than the proportion of the external circulation in the energy-saving air intake ratio. It should be noted that the above-mentioned demisting air intake ratio and the energy-saving air intake ratio are only exemplary, and relevant technical personnel can set them according to needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0115] For example, please refer to Figure 4, which shows a flow chart of thermal management strategy 2 provided by an embodiment of the present application. After the target vehicle is started, the air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation is set to the energy-saving air intake ratio. The glass temperature and the humidity in the car are transmitted to the air conditioning controller through the bus. Exemplarily, after the front windshield temperature sensor completes the acquisition of the glass temperature, the humidity sensor completes the acquisition of the humidity in the car, and transmits it to the BCM through the LIN bus, and the BCM transmits it to the air conditioning controller through the CAN bus. After the in-car temperature sensor completes the acquisition of the in-car temperature, the in-car temperature is transmitted to the air conditioning controller. The air conditioning controller obtains the fogging probability of the front windshield according to the glass temperature, the in-car temperature and the in-car humidity. When the fogging probability is greater than the first fogging threshold, it means that the front windshield has a risk of fogging, then the air conditioning component enters the first operating mode, and the air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation of the air conditioning component is set to the defogging air intake ratio. When the fogging probability is less than the second fogging threshold, it means that there is no risk of fogging on the front windshield, then the air conditioning component enters the second operating mode, and the air intake ratio of the internal and external circulation of the air conditioning component is set to the energy-saving air intake ratio.

[0116] When there is no risk of fogging on the front windshield, thermal management strategy two uses a mixed internal and external circulation method to intake air. When there is a risk of fogging, full external circulation is used to intake air, which improves the efficiency of heating the passenger compartment.

[0117] The following introduces the thermal management strategy for heating needs.

[0118] In some embodiments, the thermal management component of the target vehicle includes: a high-voltage electric heater, a heat exchanger of a power battery, a first three-way valve and a second three-way valve; the first three-way valve includes a first valve port, a second valve port and a third valve port, the first valve port is connected to the internal combustion engine, the second valve port is connected to the water inlet of the high-voltage electric heater, and the third valve port is connected to the water outlet of the heating core of the passenger compartment; the second three-way valve includes a fourth valve port, a fifth valve port and a sixth valve port, the fourth valve port is connected to the water outlet of the high-voltage electric heater, the fifth valve port is connected to the water inlet of the heating core of the passenger compartment, and the sixth valve port is connected to the heat exchanger of the power battery; the high-voltage electric heater includes a water outlet temperature sensor, and the water outlet temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the water outlet of the high-voltage electric heater.

[0119] A high voltage heater (HVH) is a device that provides heat energy through the high voltage electrical system of a target vehicle. In some embodiments, the high voltage heater is powered by direct current high voltage electricity. In some embodiments, the high voltage heater includes at least one of the following functions: passenger compartment heating, power battery heating, drive system temperature control, etc., and may also include other functions, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0122] 3. Thermal Management Strategy 3

[0123] In some embodiments, various components in the thermal management assembly are connected via pipes.

[0124] (I) Switching from internal combustion engine mode to pure electric mode

[0125] In some embodiments, when the first operating mode is the internal combustion engine mode, the first three-way valve is opened to allow the first coolant of the internal combustion engine to flow through the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the high-voltage electric heater to reach the heating core of the passenger compartment; the passenger compartment is heated by utilizing the heat of the first coolant through the heating core.

[0126] The first coolant refers to a liquid used to cool the internal combustion engine, and is used to absorb and take away the excess heat generated when the internal combustion engine is running. Optionally, the type of the first coolant may include at least one of the following: water, inorganic acid salt coolant, organic acid salt coolant, mixed coolant, and may also include other types, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0127] A heating core is a device used to heat liquid or gas to provide a heating function.

[0128] For example, please refer to Figure 5, which shows a schematic diagram of a partial heating circuit of a thermal management system provided by an embodiment of the present application. When the operating mode of the target vehicle is changed from the internal combustion engine mode to the pure electric mode, the internal combustion engine 510 is turned off and the first three-way valve 520 is opened. The first three-way valve 520 includes three valve ports, namely the first valve port 521, the second valve port 522 and the third valve port 523. After the first three-way valve 520 is opened, the first coolant flows out of the internal combustion engine 510, flows into the first three-way valve 520 through the first valve port 521, and then flows out from the second valve port 522. After the first coolant flows out of the first three-way valve 520, it flows into the second three-way valve 530 through the fourth valve port 531 of the second three-way valve 530, and then flows out from the fifth valve port 532 and the sixth valve port 533 of the second three-way valve 530. The first coolant flowing out of the fifth valve port 532 reaches the heating core 540, and the heating core 540 uses the heat of the first coolant to heat the passenger compartment.

[0129] (II) Switching from pure electric mode to internal combustion engine mode

[0130] In some embodiments, when the first operating mode is the pure electric mode, the first three-way valve is opened to allow the first medium to flow through the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the high-voltage electric heater to reach the heating core of the passenger compartment; the passenger compartment is heated by utilizing the heat of the first medium through the heating core; wherein the power battery is used to provide electrical energy to the electric motor, and the heat exchanger of the power battery is used to transfer the heat of the second coolant of the power battery to the first medium.

[0131] The second coolant is a liquid used to ensure the safe operation of the power battery. In some embodiments, the type of the second coolant may include, but is not limited to: water-based coolant, oil-based coolant, and phase change material coolant, and may also include other types, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The first medium refers to the medium in the pipe of the heating circuit of the thermal management system, which is used to transfer heat.

[0132] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , when the operation mode of the target vehicle is changed from pure electric mode to internal combustion engine mode, the motor is turned off and the first three-way valve 520 is opened. The second coolant in the power battery 550 that provides electric energy for the motor flows into the heat exchanger 560 of the power battery. The heat exchanger 560 transfers the heat of the second coolant to the first medium, and the first medium flows into the first three-way valve 520 through the third valve port 523 of the first three-way valve 520, and then flows out through the second valve port 522 of the first three-way valve 520. After the first medium flows out of the first three-way valve 520, it flows into the second three-way valve 530 through the fourth valve port 531 of the second three-way valve 530, and then flows out from the fifth valve port 532 and the sixth valve port 533 of the second three-way valve 530. The first coolant flowing out of the fifth valve port 532 reaches the heating core 540, and the heating core 540 uses the heat of the first medium to heat the passenger compartment.

[0133] In some embodiments, when the temperature of the water outlet of the high-voltage electric heater is less than the first threshold, the first three-way valve is closed and the high-voltage electric heater is turned on. In some embodiments, when the temperature of the water outlet of the high-voltage electric heater is less than the first threshold, the high-voltage electric heater is in an off state.

[0134] In some embodiments, a water outlet temperature sensor is provided at the water outlet of the high-voltage electric heater, and the water outlet temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the liquid flowing out of the high-voltage electric heater.

[0135] When the target vehicle switches the operation mode, the residual heat of the coolant of the suspended engine is used to heat the passenger compartment. When the water outlet temperature of the high-voltage electric heater is lower than the first threshold, the high-voltage electric heater is turned on and the first three-way valve is closed at the same time to prevent the cold engine coolant from participating in the circulation, reduce the power output of the high-voltage electric heater, and achieve the purpose of energy saving.

[0136] In some embodiments, hot water heated by the high-voltage electric heater enters the heater core of the passenger compartment for heat exchange and heating.

[0137] In some embodiments, the thermal management system further includes a blower, which is used to promote the flow of air or other gases. For example, in the thermal management system, the blower is used to deliver cooled or heated air to the passenger compartment.

[0138] Case 1: The heating power of HVH is very large, the outlet water temperature is very high, the water temperature entering the heater core inside HVAC is very high, but the air volume of the blower inside HVAC is small.

[0139] Case 2: The heating power of HVH is smaller than that of Case 1, the outlet water temperature is lower than that of Case 1, the water temperature entering the heater core inside HVAC is lower than that of Case 1, but the air volume of the blower inside HVAC is larger than that of Case 1.

[0140] The strategy of Case 2 has higher heat exchange efficiency than that of Case 1, and HVH is a high-power electrical equipment. Increasing the HVH power to increase the heating water temperature while reducing the blower air volume consumes more energy than reducing the HVH power to reduce the water temperature while increasing the blower air volume. Therefore, the Case 2 solution is more energy-efficient while achieving the same heating effect.
