[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0028] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 A method, device, vehicle and storage medium for controlling the air outlet direction of a vehicle air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0029] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling the air outlet direction of a vehicle air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, a method for controlling the air outlet direction of a vehicle air conditioner comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step S1: When it is determined that the vehicle is started and there is someone in the vehicle, the temperature inside the vehicle is obtained.

[0031] Specifically, when the vehicle's power mode is detected to be ON, the vehicle is considered to have been started. At the same time, the gravity sensor set on the seat detects the change in gravity on the seat to determine whether there is someone in the car. If the gravity on the seat is detected to be greater than the preset gravity, it is considered that there is someone in the car, otherwise, it is considered that there is no one in the car. When it is determined that the vehicle is started and there is someone in the car, the temperature in the car is obtained through the temperature sensor in the car to determine whether the temperature in the car needs to be actively adjusted to improve the comfort of the user when riding.

[0032] Step S2: Determine whether the temperature inside the vehicle is within a preset temperature range.

[0033] Specifically, the preset temperature range is a temperature range corresponding to when the user has a higher degree of comfort, which can be preset in advance and stored in the controller. The temperature inside the car is obtained by the above-mentioned in-car temperature sensor to determine whether the temperature inside the car is within the preset temperature range, and the preset temperature range is, for example, greater than 18° and less than 25°. It can be understood that when the temperature inside the car is within the preset temperature range, it is considered that the temperature inside the car is comfortable and no active temperature adjustment is required.

[0034] Step S3: When it is determined that the temperature inside the vehicle is not within the preset temperature range, the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to be turned on and the windows are controlled to be closed.

[0035] Specifically, when it is determined that the temperature inside the car is not within the preset temperature range, it is considered that the temperature inside the car needs to be adjusted. At this time, the car air conditioner is controlled to turn on and the windows are controlled to close so as to adjust the temperature inside the car through the car air conditioner.

[0036] Step S4: controlling the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner according to the distribution positions of the occupants in the vehicle, wherein the air outlet mode includes a first air outlet mode and a second air outlet mode, and the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet mode and the second air outlet mode have different swinging modes.

[0037] Specifically, the distribution positions of the people in the car include but are not limited to: only the main driver's seat is occupied; only the front passenger's seat is occupied; both the main and front passenger's seats are occupied, but no passengers are in the back row; both the front and rear rows are occupied; only the back row has passengers. When adjusting the temperature in the car through the car air conditioner, in order to improve the comfort of the people in the car and avoid the discomfort caused by the air outlet of the car air conditioner blowing directly on the users, the embodiments of the present invention adopt different car air conditioner outlet modes according to the different distribution positions of the people in the car. According to the first outlet mode and the second outlet mode, the swinging modes of the left and right air outlet blades are different, taking into account the riding experience of the front and rear row users, so as to achieve uniform temperature distribution in the car while avoiding the discomfort caused by the air outlet of the car air conditioner blowing directly on the users.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner is controlled according to the distribution positions of the people in the vehicle, including: when there are people in the back seats, the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to be the first air outlet mode; when there are no people in the back seats, the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to be the second air outlet mode.

[0039] Specifically, when there are people in the back seats, in order to improve the comfort of the back users, the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to the first air outlet mode, so that the air flow quickly flows to the back seats, and the temperature of the back seats is adjusted in time to improve the comfort of the back users; when there are no people in the back seats, the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to the second air outlet mode, and the temperature of the front seats is quickly adjusted, while avoiding direct blowing on the front users, thereby improving the comfort of the front users.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first air outlet mode includes: controlling the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet to swing up and down at the same angle at the same time; wherein the first air outlet is arranged at a position close to the left side of the steering wheel, the second air outlet is arranged at a position close to the left side of the central control instrument panel, the third air outlet is arranged at a position close to the right side of the central control instrument panel, and the fourth air outlet is arranged at a position close to the right side of the co-pilot seat; controlling the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet and the second air outlet to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time, and controlling the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the fourth air outlet and the third air outlet to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time, wherein a first blowing direction formed by the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet and the second air outlet is mirror-symmetrical to a second blowing direction formed by the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the fourth air outlet and the third air outlet.

[0041] Specifically, if Figure 2As shown, the first air outlet is located near the left side of the steering wheel, the second air outlet is located near the left side of the central control instrument panel, the third air outlet is located near the right side of the central control instrument panel, and the fourth air outlet is located near the right side of the co-pilot seat. When there is someone on the rear seat, the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner is controlled to be the first air outlet mode. The embodiment of the present invention controls the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner to keep swinging up and down synchronously at the same angle, that is, all the air outlets of the vehicle air conditioner are controlled to sweep air up and down at the same time to quickly and evenly adjust the temperature in the car and avoid the air outlet blowing directly on the user. At the same time, the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet and the second air outlet are controlled to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time. In this way, the air outlet directions formed by the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet and the second air outlet are the same, which is recorded as the first blowing direction; at the same time, the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the fourth air outlet and the third air outlet are controlled to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time. In this way, the air outlet directions formed by the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the fourth air outlet and the third air outlet are the same, which is recorded as the second blowing direction. When the first blowing direction and the second blowing direction are mirror-symmetrical to each other, it is beneficial for the air blown out of the air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner to flow from the middle of the front seats to the rear seats, thereby quickly driving the air flow at the rear seats and timely adjusting the temperature at the rear seats to improve the comfort of the people in the rear seats. It should be noted that the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are all lower-layer blades, and the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are all upper-layer blades.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the direction of the arrow is the blowing direction, and the dotted line is the left-right symmetry center of the vehicle. Since the first blowing direction and the second blowing direction are mirror-symmetrical to each other, when the first blowing direction and the second blowing direction are turned from position 2 to position 1, the main driver and the co-driver blow mirror images, and the airflow generates convection in the middle position, flowing from the middle of the main driver's seat and the co-driver's seat to the back row, thereby quickly driving the air flow at the back seat.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second air outlet mode includes: controlling the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet to swing up and down at the same angle at the same time; wherein the first air outlet is arranged at a position close to the left side of the steering wheel, the second air outlet is arranged at a position close to the left side of the central control instrument panel, the third air outlet is arranged at a position close to the right side of the central control instrument panel, and the fourth air outlet is arranged at a position close to the right side of the co-pilot seat; controlling the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time.

[0044] Specifically, when there is no one in the rear seats, the embodiment of the present invention controls the air outlet mode of the vehicle air conditioner to the second air outlet mode, that is, the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are controlled to swing up and down at the same angle at the same time, and the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are controlled to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time. In this way, the blades of the four air outlets of the vehicle air conditioner are controlled to move up and down and left and right at the same angle at the same time, so that the four air outlets sweep the air up and down and left and right synchronously, so as to timely adjust the temperature of the front seats, improve the comfort of the people in the front seats, and avoid the air outlets blowing directly on the front users. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the direction of the arrow is the blowing direction, and the blades of the four air outlets continuously move up and down and left and right at the same angle at the same time. The resulting blowing direction can be turned from position 2 to position 1 at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly adjusting the temperature of the front seats and improve the riding comfort of the front users.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, after controlling the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time, it also includes: controlling the air outlet direction of the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet according to the distribution of people on the front seats and the temperature in the car. Specifically, when there is only someone on the main driving seat and the temperature in the car reaches a preset temperature, the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet and the second air outlet are controlled to swing up and down at the same angle at the same time, and the left and right air outlet blades of the first air outlet are controlled to swing left and right, and the left and right air outlet blades of the second air outlet are controlled to swing left and right, and the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are controlled to be closed, wherein the blowing direction of the left and right air outlet blades of the first air outlet and the blowing direction of the left and right air outlet blades of the second air outlet are mirror-symmetrical to each other.

[0046] Specifically, after the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner are controlled to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time, the temperature at the front seat can be quickly adjusted, and the temperature inside the vehicle can also be quickly adjusted. When there is only one person on the main driving seat, and the temperature inside the vehicle reaches a preset temperature, such as 23°, it is considered that the temperature inside the vehicle has reached a comfortable temperature. At this time, the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet and the second air outlet are controlled to swing up and down at the same angle at the same time, and the left and right air outlet blades of the first air outlet are controlled to swing left and right, and the left and right air outlet blades of the second air outlet are controlled to swing left and right, and the blowing directions of the left and right air outlet blades of the first air outlet and the blowing directions of the left and right air outlet blades of the second air outlet are mirror-symmetrical to each other; and the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are controlled to be closed, so that the first air outlet and the second air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner continue to blow air to the main driving seat, so that different parts of the user on the main driving seat can continue to feel the blowing effect. Since the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are closed at the same time, the power of the whole vehicle can be saved and the energy consumption of the whole vehicle can be reduced.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the direction of the arrow is the blowing direction, and the dotted line is the mirror symmetry center of the main driver's seat. Since the blowing directions of the left and right air outlet blades of the first air outlet and the left and right air outlet blades of the second air outlet are mirror symmetric to each other, when the blowing directions of the left and right air outlet blades of the first air outlet and the left and right air outlet blades of the second air outlet are turned from position 2 to position 1, the airflow will be concentrated at the main driver's seat, so that different parts of the user on the main driver's seat can continuously feel the blowing effect, while saving the power of the entire vehicle and reducing the energy consumption of the entire vehicle.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet directions of the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet are controlled according to the distribution of people on the front seats and the temperature in the vehicle, including: when there is only someone on the front passenger seat and the temperature in the vehicle reaches a preset temperature, the upper and lower air outlet blades corresponding to the fourth air outlet and the third air outlet are controlled to swing up and down at the same angle at the same time, and the left and right air outlet blades of the fourth air outlet are controlled to swing left and right, and the left and right air outlet blades of the third air outlet are controlled to swing left and right, and the second air outlet and the first air outlet are controlled to be closed, wherein the blowing direction of the left and right air outlet blades of the fourth air outlet and the blowing direction of the left and right air outlet blades of the third air outlet are mirror-symmetrical to each other.

[0049] Specifically, after the left and right air outlet blades corresponding to the first air outlet, the second air outlet, the third air outlet and the fourth air outlet of the vehicle air conditioner are controlled to swing left and right at the same angle at the same time, the temperature at the front seat can be quickly adjusted, and the temperature inside the vehicle can also be quickly adjusted.
