[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0035] The following is for reference. Figures 1-12 The sub-instrument assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The sub-instrument assembly 1 includes at least a portion of the vehicle humidification system 4.

[0036] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the sub-instrument assembly 1 according to the present invention includes: a sub-instrument 2, a spray support platform, and an in-vehicle humidification system 4. The in-vehicle humidification system 4 includes: a spray generator 41, which is disposed on the spray support platform. The spray support platform is disposed on the sub-instrument 2 and can be raised and lowered relative to the sub-instrument 2. Thus, the corresponding spray generator 41 can be raised and lowered with the spray support platform, thereby allowing selection of a suitable spray height. The spray support platform can be a cup holder cover 32 or other raiseable structural components on the sub-instrument 2.

[0037] The following explanation uses the spray carrier platform as an example, specifically the cup holder cover 32.

[0038] Specifically, the cup holder cover 32 is part of the cup holder 3. The cup holder 3 includes: a cup holder body 31, a cup holder cover 32, and a lifting mechanism 33. The cup holder body 31 is disposed on the sub-dashboard 2. The lifting mechanism 33 is disposed between the cup holder body 31 and the cup holder cover 32 to selectively lift the cup holder cover 32. The vehicle humidification system 4 includes: a spray generator 41, which is disposed on the cup holder cover 32. The cup holder cover 32 has a first position and a second position. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position, it is located at the bottom of the cup holder body 31 and forms a receiving groove with the cup holder body 31 to receive the cup. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, it is located above the cup holder body 31, thereby enabling the spray generator 41 to spray mist.

[0039] Understandably, the sub-dashboard 2, cup holder 3, and vehicle humidification system 4 constitute the main structure of the sub-dashboard assembly 1. The cup holder 3 and vehicle humidification system 4 are located inside the sub-dashboard 2, which allows the sub-dashboard 2 to protect the cup holder 3 and vehicle humidification system 4, thereby extending the service life of the vehicle humidification system 4. The cup holder body 31, cup holder cover 32, and lifting mechanism 33 constitute the main structure of the cup holder 3. The cup holder body 31 is located on the sub-dashboard 2, and the cup holder cover 32 is located at the upper end of the cup holder body 31. One end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the cup holder body 31, and the other end is connected to the cup holder cover 32. The lifting mechanism 33 can rise and fall, thereby driving the cup holder cover 32 to rise and fall relative to the cup holder body 31. The spray generator 41 is located on the cup holder cover 32, which allows the spray generator 41 to disperse mist, thereby regulating the humidity of the air inside the vehicle. For example, when the cup holder cover 32 is raised, it is located above the cup holder body 31. The cup holder 3 can be placed in a comfortable position for the driver and passenger. By looking down towards the center of the cup holder 3, the face can be refreshed by "cooling the face", thereby improving health and comfort.

[0040] In this configuration, the first position is located at the bottom of the cup holder body 31, and the second position is located above the cup holder body 31. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position, it is located below the cup holder body 31, and the cup holder body 31 can form a receiving groove, which facilitates the placement of items in the receiving groove. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, it is located above the cup holder body 31. This configuration allows the spray generator 41 to be turned on, thereby enabling the spray generator 41 to disperse mist over a large area, which in turn can regulate the air humidity inside the vehicle.

[0041] Therefore, by setting a cup holder 3 and an in-vehicle humidification system 4 on the secondary instrument panel 2, the humidity inside the vehicle can be adjusted. Moreover, the cup holder 3 can be raised and lowered, which allows the cup holder 3 to have the functions of humidification and placing items. That is, when the cup holder 3 is lowered, items can be placed, and when the cup holder 3 is raised, air conditioning can be performed. This makes the structure of the secondary instrument panel 2 compact and easy to operate, thereby improving the comfort inside the vehicle.

[0042] Among them, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the spray generator 41 includes an atomizing element 42, an air supply element 43, and a nozzle 44. The air supply element 43 is located below the atomizing element 42, and the nozzle 44 is located above the atomizing element 42 and communicates with it. In other words, the atomizing element 42, the air supply element 43, and the nozzle 44 constitute the main structure of the spray generator 41. The air supply element 43 is located below the atomizing element 42, and the nozzle 44 is located above the atomizing element 42, allowing the nozzle 44, atomizing element 42, and air supply element 43 to be arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The air supply element 43 delivers water to the atomizing element 42, which atomizes the water into mist, which is then sprayed out from the nozzle 44. This allows the spray generator 41 to regulate the humidity of the air inside the vehicle.

[0043] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the nozzle 44 includes a nozzle body 441 and a sealing assembly 442. The nozzle body 441 forms an inner cavity, a mist inlet channel and a mist outlet channel. The inner cavity is connected between the mist inlet channel and the mist outlet channel. The mist inlet channel is connected to the atomizing element 42. The sealing assembly 442 is disposed in the inner cavity and selectively closes the mist inlet channel. It is understood that the nozzle body 441 and the sealing component 442 constitute the main structure of the nozzle 44. The interior of the nozzle body 44 forms an inner cavity, allowing mist to flow through the inner cavity. The mist inlet channel is located at the lower end of the nozzle body 441, and the mist outlet channel is located at the upper end of the nozzle body 441. Moreover, the mist outlet channel, the inner cavity, and the mist inlet channel are connected from top to bottom, allowing the mist generated by the atomizing component 42 to flow into the inner cavity from the mist inlet channel and then disperse through the mist outlet channel, thereby regulating the humidity of the air inside the vehicle. Furthermore, the sealing component 442 is located in the inner cavity. This arrangement allows the sealing component 442 to close the mist inlet channel or open the mist inlet channel, thereby preventing the mist from flowing back and improving the air conditioning effect.

[0044] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the nozzle body 441 includes: a first nozzle shell 443, a second nozzle shell 444, and a third nozzle shell 445. The first nozzle shell 443 is provided with a first through hole. The second nozzle shell 444 includes: a plate and a rod. The rod is connected to the plate and the plate is spaced apart from the first nozzle shell 443. The rod passes through the first through hole to form a mist inlet channel between the plate and the first nozzle shell 443, and between the rod and the first nozzle shell 443. The third nozzle shell 445 is disposed on the first nozzle shell 443 and forms an inner cavity with the first nozzle shell 443. The third nozzle shell 445 is provided with a second through hole. The rod passes through the second through hole, and a mist outlet channel is formed between the rod and the third nozzle shell 445.

[0045] It is understood that the first nozzle shell 443, the second nozzle shell 444, and the third nozzle shell 445 constitute the main structure of the nozzle body 441. The first through hole is located on the first nozzle shell 443, the second through hole is located on the third nozzle shell 445, and the third through hole is located on the second nozzle shell 444. Moreover, the first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole are interconnected, so as to facilitate the dispersion of the mist flow after passing through the nozzle body 441. The plate and the rod constitute the main structure of the second nozzle shell 444. The plate is set close to the first nozzle shell 443, and one end of the rod is connected to the plate, while the other end passes through the second through hole. This arrangement allows the first nozzle shell 443, the second nozzle shell 444, and the third nozzle shell 445 to be connected, thereby forming an inner cavity between the first nozzle shell 443 and the third nozzle shell 445, and forming a mist outlet channel between the rod and the third nozzle shell 445, which facilitates the dispersion of the mist through the inner cavity and the mist outlet channel.

[0046] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sealing assembly 442 includes a sealing element 446 and an elastic element 447. The sealing element 446 is sleeved on the rod body, and the elastic element 447 is disposed between the sealing element 446 and the third nozzle housing 445, thereby providing the sealing element 446 with elastic force to seal the mist inlet channel. In other words, the sealing element 446 and the elastic element 447 constitute the main structure of the sealing assembly 442. The sealing element 446 passes through the rod body, and the elastic element 447 is located between the sealing element 446 and the third nozzle housing 445. This arrangement allows the elastic element 447 to provide elastic force to the sealing element 446, thereby sealing the mist inlet channel and preventing backflow of mist that could affect the humidification effect.

[0047] In particular, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the cup holder lid 32 is provided with an upwardly protruding support pad 321, the upper surface of which is higher than the upper surface of the nozzle 44. It can be understood that the support pad 321 is located on the upper surface of the cup holder lid 32, and the support pad 321 protrudes relative to the upper surface of the cup holder lid 32, so that when an item is placed on the cup holder lid 32, the support pad 321 provides support for the item and prevents the item from damaging the spray generator 41. For example, there may be four support pads 321, evenly spaced, and the support pads 321 may be elongated, thereby increasing the area for supporting the item.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 2As shown, the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes a humidification water tank 45 and a water pump assembly 46, which is connected to both the humidification water tank 45 and the spray generator 41. In other words, the humidification water tank 45 and the water pump assembly 46 are located inside the sub-dashboard 2, and the humidification water tank 45 is movable relative to the sub-dashboard 2, facilitating the filling of the humidification water tank 45 with water. One end of the humidification water tank 45 is equipped with the water pump assembly 46, and the other end of the water pump assembly 46 is connected to the spray generator 41. This allows the water pump assembly 46 to pump water from the humidification water tank 45 into the spray generator 41, which then atomizes the water and disperses it into the vehicle interior, thereby regulating the humidity inside the vehicle.

[0049] In particular, such as Figure 4 As shown, a water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is provided between the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41. The water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is telescopic between the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41. It can be understood that the upper end of the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is connected to the spray generator 41, and the lower end of the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is connected to the water pump assembly 46. This arrangement allows the water pumped by the water pump assembly 46 to flow into the spray generator 41 through the water inlet telescopic pipe 5. Moreover, the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 can be compressed in the vertical direction, so that when the cup holder cover 32 moves from the second position to the first position, the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is also compressed accordingly, thereby allowing the spray generator 41 to obtain water from the humidifying water tank 45.

[0050] Similarly, as Figure 4 As shown, a drain telescopic pipe 6 is provided between the spray generator 41 and the humidifying water tank 45. The drain telescopic pipe 6 is telescopic between the spray generator 41 and the humidifying water tank 45. That is, the upper end of the drain telescopic pipe 6 is connected to the spray generator 41, and the lower end of the drain telescopic pipe 6 is connected to the water pump assembly 46. This arrangement allows unevaporated water from the spray generator 41 to flow back into the humidifying water tank 45 through the drain telescopic pipe 6, thereby achieving water circulation and saving water. Moreover, the drain telescopic pipe 6 can be compressed vertically, so when the cup holder lid 32 moves from the second position to the first position, the drain telescopic pipe 6 is also compressed, thereby allowing unevaporated water from the spray generator 41 to flow back into the humidifying water tank 45.

[0051] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes: a switch assembly 47, which is disposed on the cup holder body 31 and is electrically connected to the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41 respectively; wherein, a touch part 322 is provided on the cup holder cover 32, and when the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, the touch part 322 contacts the switch assembly 47, and the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41 are powered on. It is understood that the switch assembly 47 is located on the cup holder body 31, and the switch assembly 47 is connected to the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41, so that the switch assembly 47 can control the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41 respectively. The cup holder cover 32 is provided with a touch part 322. When the cup holder cover 32 is below the cup holder body 31, the touch part 322 is connected to the switch assembly 47, so that the switch assembly 47 can start the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41, and then the water pump assembly 46 can pump the water in the humidifying water tank 45 to the spray generator 41 for atomization.

[0052] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 also includes a power switch 48, which is mounted on the cup holder cover 32. The power switch 48 is electrically connected to the switch assembly 47, the water pump assembly 46, and the spray generator 41. In other words, the power switch 48 is located on the upper surface of the cup holder cover 32, making it convenient for the user to operate. Furthermore, the power switch 48 is connected to the switch assembly 47, the water pump assembly 46, and the spray generator 41, allowing the user to control the operation of these components by controlling the power switch 48.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the switch assembly 47 includes: a circuit board 471, a crimping member 472, and an elastic member 473. The circuit board 471 is provided with a switch, and the crimping member 472 is disposed opposite to the switch. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, the touch part 322 contacts the crimping member 472. The elastic member 473 is disposed between the circuit board 471 and the crimping member 472, thereby providing elastic force for the crimping member 472 to reset. It is understood that the circuit board 471, the crimping member 472, and the elastic component 473 constitute the main structure of the switch assembly 47. The crimping member 472 is located below the circuit board 471, the switch is located above the circuit board 471, and the elastic component 447 is located between the circuit board 471 and the crimping member 472. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, the touch part 322 abuts against the crimping member 472, and the elastic component 447 provides a rebound force for the crimping member 472, so that the switch assembly 47 can start the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41, and then the water pump assembly 46 can pump the water in the humidifying water tank 45 to the spray generator 41 for atomization.

[0054] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, the lifting mechanism 33 includes: an active lifting arm 331, a driven lifting arm 332, and a driving member. One end of the active lifting arm 331 is movably connected to the bottom of the cup holder body 31 and the other end is movably connected to the cup holder cover 32. One end of the driven lifting arm 332 is hinged to the bottom of the cup holder body 31 and the other end is hinged to the cup holder cover 32. The driving member is connected to the active lifting arm 331 in a transmission manner. In other words, the active lifting arm 331, the driven lifting arm 332, and the driving component constitute the main structure of the lifting mechanism 33. The upper end of the active lifting arm 331 is connected to the cup holder cover 32, and the lower end of the active lifting arm 331 is connected to the bottom of the cup holder body 31. Similarly, the upper end of the driven lifting arm 332 is hinged to the cup holder cover 32, and the lower end of the driven lifting arm 332 is hinged to the bottom of the cup holder body 31. Moreover, the active lifting arm 331 and the driven lifting arm 332 are arranged to cross each other, thus forming numerous triangular stable structures. The driving component is connected to the active lifting arm 331, so that the driving component can drive the active lifting arm 331, thereby causing the driven lifting arm 332 to move to adjust the position of the cup holder cover 32.

[0055] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, the cup holder 3 also includes a locking mechanism 34, which selectively locks either the cup holder cover 32 or the lifting mechanism 33. It is understood that the locking mechanism 34 is located on one side of the cup holder 3, allowing it to lock either the cup holder cover 32 or the lifting mechanism 33, thereby enabling the cup holder cover 32 to reach the desired position.

[0056] Next, let's combine... Figure 8 and Figure 9 The control method of the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0057] The control method for the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 includes the following steps:

[0058] S1. Obtain the height of the spray support platform. It is understood that the spray generator 41 is mounted on the cup holder cover 32, and the cup holder cover 32 can be raised and lowered relative to the cup holder body 31, so that the cup holder cover 32 can have a first position, a second position, and a height between the first position and the second position. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position, the cup holder cover 32 is located at the bottom of the cup holder body 31, and the cup holder cover 32 and the cup holder body 31 form a receiving groove for accommodating the cup, thereby facilitating the placement of items in the receiving groove. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, the cup holder cover 32 is located above the cup holder body 31.

[0059] S2. Upon receiving a humidification activation command, the spray intensity of the spray generator 41 is controlled according to the height of the spray platform. After confirming receipt of the user's humidification command, the vehicle humidification system 4 is activated, and the spray generator 41 begins operation. Correspondingly, the water pump assembly 46 of the vehicle humidification system 4 simultaneously starts operating, pumping water from the humidification water tank 45 to supply the spray generator 41, thereby enabling the spray generator 41 to spray mist and regulate the air humidity inside the vehicle. The spray generator 41 sprays mist at different intensities based on the position of the cup holder cover 32, i.e., the height of the cup holder cover 32, to meet the user's needs.

[0060] When the height of the spray support platform is at a preset height, the spray generator 41 is controlled to stop spraying. The first position is the predetermined position; when the cup holder lid 32 is confirmed to be in the first position, the spray generator 41 stops spraying.

[0061] Therefore, by mounting the spray generator 41 vertically on the cup holder cover 32, the user can control the operation of the spray generator 41 by changing the height of the cup holder cover 32, thereby improving vehicle convenience and user comfort. This in-vehicle humidification system 4 is highly concealed, integrated into the sub-dashboard 2 and the cup holder cover 32, thus improving the integration of the sub-dashboard assembly 1.

[0062] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the steps for controlling the spray intensity of the spray generator according to the height of the spray support platform include: increasing the spray intensity of the spray generator 41 as the height of the spray support platform increases.

[0063] Specifically, the cup holder lid 32 can move between a first position and a second position. When the cup holder lid 32 is in the position between the first and second positions, the spray generator 41 is turned on. Different heights of the cup holder lid 32 between the first and second positions correspond to different spray intensities of the spray generator 41. For example, from bottom to top between the first and second positions, the spray intensity of the spray generator 41 gradually increases. That is, the height of the cup holder lid 32 and the spray intensity of the spray generator 41 are positively correlated. This setting allows the spray generator 41 to have different spray intensity modes, making it easier for users to select a suitable mode for spraying, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle-mounted humidification system also includes: a position sensor, which is used to detect the position of the spray platform; the step of obtaining the height of the spray platform includes: confirming the height of the spray platform based on the position of the spray platform detected by the position sensor.

[0065] Specifically, the position sensor is positioned next to the cup holder lid 32. This arrangement allows the position sensor to detect the location of the cup holder lid 32, thereby facilitating the determination of its height. Consequently, the spray generator 41 can spray according to the height of the cup holder lid 32, and the spray intensity can be determined accordingly. For example, the position sensor can be a capacitive position sensor or a pressure position sensor, making it easier for the position sensor to detect the location of the cup holder lid 32.

[0066] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 also includes: a switch assembly 47, which controls the power supply to the spray generator 41; the step of obtaining the position of the spray support platform includes: obtaining the position of the spray support platform based on whether the switch assembly 47 is touched by the spray support platform. That is, when the switch assembly 47 is connected to the spray generator 41 and the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position, the cup holder cover 32 is not in contact with the switch assembly 47, thereby de-energizing the switch assembly 47 and the spray generator 41, and allowing the cup holder cover 32 and the cup holder body 31 to form a receiving groove for placing items. When the cup holder cover 32 is between the first and second positions and in the second position, the cup holder cover 32 is touched and connected to the switch assembly 47, thereby electrically connecting the switch assembly 47 to the spray generator 41, putting the spray generator 41 in a powered-on state, and allowing the spray generator 41 to be turned on at any time, thereby enabling the spray generator 41 to spray.

[0067] Specifically, users can change the height of the cup holder cover 32 to enable touch connection between the cup holder cover 32 and the switch assembly 47, thereby enabling users to achieve various air conditioning modes such as manual, automatic, and air conditioning linkage.

[0068] Among them, such as Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, the step of obtaining the position of the spray carrier based on whether the switch assembly 47 is touched by the spray carrier includes: if the switch assembly 47 is touched and turned on by the spray carrier, confirm that the height of the spray carrier has reached the maximum value.

[0069] Specifically, when the cup holder lid 32 is raised to the second position, that is, when the cup holder lid 32 is above the cup holder body 31, the switch assembly 47 is touched and connected to the cup holder lid 32, thereby connecting the switch assembly 47 to the spray generator 41, energizing the spray generator 41, and thus enabling the switch assembly 47 to control the spray generator 41 to spray. If the switch assembly 47 is touched and disconnected by the cup holder lid 32, it confirms that the cup holder lid 32 has begun to descend from the predetermined position.

[0070] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 also includes: a humidification water tank 45, a water pump assembly 46, and a reminder module. The water pump assembly 46 is connected to both the humidification water tank 45 and the spray generator 41. It is understood that the reminder module is installed inside the humidification water tank 45, allowing the module to detect the water level and facilitate refilling. One end of the water pump assembly 46 is connected to the humidification water tank 45, and the other end is connected to the spray generator 41. This allows the water pump assembly 46 to pump water from the humidification water tank 45 to the spray generator 41, which then atomizes the water and disperses it into the vehicle interior.

[0071] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the vehicle humidification system 4 further includes the following steps: obtaining water level information in the humidification water tank 45; confirming that the water level in the humidification water tank 45 is lower than a first preset water level value, and controlling the reminder module to issue a reminder signal.

[0072] Specifically, by setting a first preset water level value in the humidifying water tank 45, when the water level in the humidifying water tank 45 falls below the first preset water level value, the reminder module sends a reminder signal, and the switch assembly 47 remains connected to the spray generator 41, thereby reminding the user to add water to the humidifying water tank 45. This ensures the continuous operation of the spray generator 41 and meets the user's needs. The reminder module can be a display screen that displays reminder information, or it can be a speaker that plays reminder information.

[0073] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the control method of the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes the following steps: confirming that the water level in the humidification water tank 45 is lower than the second preset water level value, and disconnecting the control switch assembly 47, wherein the second preset water level value is lower than the first preset water level value.

[0074] Specifically, by setting a second preset water level in the humidifying water tank 45, when the water level in the humidifying water tank 45 falls below the second preset water level, the switch assembly 47 disconnects from the spray generator 41, thereby stopping the spray generator 41 from spraying. Furthermore, the second preset water level is lower than the first preset water level, and there is a certain height difference between the first and second preset water levels. This serves as a reminder to add water when the water level in the humidifying water tank 45 falls below the first preset water level, while the spray generator 41 can continue to operate, thus not affecting the air humidity inside the vehicle. By promptly disconnecting the switch assembly 47 from the spray generator 41, the continuous operation of the spray generator 41 without water, preventing damage to the spray generator 41, can be avoided.

[0075] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes: a power switch 48 and a display screen; receiving a command to turn on humidification includes: receiving information that the power switch 48 has been touched; and receiving information that the humidification mode displayed on the display screen has been touched.

[0076] Specifically, the power switch 48 is electrically connected to the switch assembly 47, the water pump assembly 46, and the spray generator 41. The user can manually control the power switch 48 to turn it on. When the power switch 48 is activated, the switch assembly 47 and the spray generator 41 are also activated, thus turning on the spray generator 41 to spray. By obtaining information about whether the power switch 48 has been activated, it can be determined whether the user has manually issued a humidification command. Furthermore, the power switch 48 can be located on the cup holder cover 32, which facilitates user operation and improves the integration of the cup holder cover 32.

[0077] The display screen can show whether the spray generator 41 is activated. When the water level in the humidifying water tank 45 is sufficient, the display screen can select automatic mode or other modes to control the air humidity control controller. The air humidity control controller then provides feedback to the display screen via video or voice. When the switch assembly 47 is connected or disconnected from the spray generator 41, feedback can also be provided to the display screen via video or voice. When the water level in the humidifying water tank 45 is lower than the first preset water level or the second preset water level, feedback can also be provided to the display screen via video or voice, so that users can adjust the air humidity in the vehicle by observing the information on the display screen.

[0078] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 12 As shown, the control method of the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes the following steps: confirming that the height of the spray support platform is the preset height, controlling the humidification mode displayed on the control screen to be in a disabled state, or controlling the spray generator 41 to stop working.

[0079] Specifically, when the cup holder lid 32 is in the first position, the switch assembly 47 and the spray generator 41 are not connected, so that the spray generator 41 can be in the off state, and the display screen will show the corresponding feedback of the spray generator 41 being off. The humidification mode displayed on the display screen is in the disabled state, for example, the display screen is grayed out and cannot be adjusted, so that the user can control the spray generator 41 to turn on and off.

[0080] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 11 As shown, the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes an air outlet device for discharging air into the driver's cab of the vehicle; the control method of the vehicle humidification system 4 further includes the following steps: obtaining the status information of the spray generator 41; confirming that the spray generator 41 is working, and controlling the air outlet device to discharge air.

[0081] Specifically, the air outlet is located in the driver's cab and can vent air into the cab to regulate the temperature. The display screen can turn the air outlet on and off, allowing air to radiate outwards from the vents. The air outlet then feeds back onto the display screen. Simultaneously, the spray generator 41 can also be activated when the air outlet is on, further helping to regulate the humidity inside the cab. The air outlet can be an air conditioner.

[0082] The specific implementation method is as follows: When the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position to the second position, and in the second position, the switch assembly 47 is connected to the spray generator 41 by touch. At this time, the spray generator 41 is in a power-on standby state, so the spray can be manually adjusted by operating the power switch 48, or the spray can be adjusted by touch or voice control of the display screen. After the switch assembly 47 is powered on, it can communicate with the display screen. After the display screen recognizes the power-on signal, it sends it to the air humidity control controller. At this time, the spray generator 41 receives the signal and automatically turns on the spray. Moreover, multiple humidification modes are set on the display screen, such as spray size and humidity. This setting can also select the air conditioning synchronization option. The display screen and the air humidity controller coordinate to match the airflow blown out by the air outlet of the spray and the air conditioner, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment of the air humidity and temperature in the vehicle. The vehicle also supports remote activation of the air conditioner and spray generator 41 by mobile APP, so that the user can achieve a suitable humidity and temperature before getting into the car.

[0083] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle includes a processor, a memory, and a control method for the vehicle humidification system 4 described above. The memory stores a control program for the vehicle humidification system 4. When the control program for the vehicle humidification system 4 is executed by the processor, the spray generator 41 is ellipsably mounted on the cup holder cover 32. By changing the position of the cup holder cover 32, the user's humidification command can be implemented to control the operation of the spray generator 41, thereby improving the convenience of the vehicle and the comfort of the user.
