[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 It shows a schematic diagram of an example structure of a vehicle thermal management control system for implementing the vehicle thermal management control method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0048] The vehicle thermal management control system provided in this disclosure embodiment may include: a module that executes the vehicle thermal management control method provided in this disclosure embodiment, and the original thermal management system of the target vehicle.

[0049] The original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be understood as a thermal management system with complete thermal management and control functions.

[0050] It should be noted that the target vehicle is a hybrid vehicle.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is installed on the target vehicle before the module executing the vehicle thermal management control method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure is installed on the target vehicle. Alternatively, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is an existing thermal management system of the target vehicle before the module executing the vehicle thermal management control method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure is installed on the target vehicle.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the module executing the vehicle thermal management control method provided in this disclosure embodiment can send an instruction to the module of the target vehicle that controls the start-up and shutdown of the target vehicle's original thermal management system, instructing it to prohibit the start-up of the target vehicle's original thermal management system. This prevents the module from starting the target vehicle's original thermal management system. Thus, the start-up of the target vehicle's original thermal management system is prohibited. Even if the thermal management strategy of the target vehicle's original thermal management system defines that the original thermal management system should be started, it is possible that the target vehicle's original thermal management system will not be started due to the prohibition of its start-up.

[0053] refer to Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of the vehicle thermal management control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0054] The vehicle thermal management control method provided in this disclosure can be executed multiple times during the operation of the target vehicle. In this disclosure, no conditions are limited for executing the vehicle thermal management control method. As an example, the vehicle thermal management control method can be executed for the first time in response to the start-up of the target vehicle. The vehicle thermal management control method can also be executed when a preset time has elapsed since the last execution of the vehicle thermal management control method and the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is not operating.

[0055] In step S201, obtain the associated information.

[0056] The associated information includes at least some of the following: the user's driving habits of the target vehicle, the target driving length type of the target vehicle, the ambient temperature of the environment in which the target vehicle is located, and the charge level of the target vehicle's power battery.

[0057] The target vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. The user usage information for the target vehicle indicates the user's preferred operating mode of the target vehicle during the target time period.

[0058] The target driving length type is either the driving length type for the length of the navigation route of the target vehicle or the driving length type that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the target travel length type is divided into: long-distance type and short-distance type.

[0060] If the navigation function of the target vehicle is enabled when the vehicle thermal management control method provided in this embodiment is executed, and the target vehicle is traveling according to the navigation route for the target vehicle, the current driving process of the target vehicle is the process of traveling according to the navigation route for the target vehicle, and the navigation route of the target vehicle can be regarded as the driving length of the current driving process of the target vehicle, then the target driving length type is: the driving length type of the length of the navigation route for the target vehicle.

[0061] The current driving process of the target vehicle can be understood as the driving process of the target vehicle in progress when the vehicle thermal management control method provided in this embodiment is executed. The vehicle thermal management control method provided in this embodiment is executed during the current driving process of the target vehicle.

[0062] In one possible implementation, a driving process of the target vehicle with navigation enabled can refer to the process of the target vehicle traveling from the starting point of the navigation route to the destination of the navigation route. A driving process of the target vehicle without navigation enabled can refer to the process from the start of the target vehicle to the turn-off of the target vehicle.

[0063] In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the navigation function of the target vehicle is not turned on when the vehicle thermal management control method provided in this embodiment of the disclosure is executed, the target driving length type is: the driving length type of the target vehicle that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period.

[0064] Indicator of the target vehicle's user's habitual driving length type during the target time period: During the target time period, the target vehicle's user habitually drives the target vehicle for the habitual driving length type.

[0065] As an example, during the target time period, users of the target vehicle are accustomed to driving long distances. The type of driving distance that users of the target vehicle are accustomed to during the target time period is long-distance.

[0066] As another example, during the target time period, users of the target vehicle are accustomed to driving the target vehicle for short distances.

[0067] It should be noted that if the navigation function of the target vehicle is not activated when the vehicle thermal management control method provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure is started, the target driving length type can be regarded as: the prediction result of the driving length type of the current driving process of the target vehicle.

[0068] In the disclosed embodiments, the user's driving habit information of the target vehicle indicates the target vehicle's operating mode that the user is accustomed to during the target time period.

[0069] It should be noted that the target time period is the time period before the current time, and the end time of the target time period is before the current time.

[0070] The current time can refer to the moment when step S201 begins to be executed.

[0071] As an example, the target time period can be: the period N days before the current day, N-1 days before, ..., the day before the current time. If N is 7, then the target time period is the week before the current day.

[0072] In one possible implementation, the target vehicle's users are accustomed to using either a fuel-powered or a pure electric operating mode during the target time period.

[0073] In one possible implementation, in step S201, the number of times the vehicle is charged on weekdays and the number of times it is charged on rest days within the target time period are determined. If the number of times the target vehicle is charged on weekdays within the target time period is less than a first threshold, the number of times it is charged on rest days within the target time period is less than a second threshold, and the ratio of the number of times the target vehicle's fuel system is started to the total number of times the target vehicle's power system is started within the target time period is greater than a first ratio threshold, then it can be determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using a fuel-based operating mode during the target time period. This ratio is calculated as: the number of times the target vehicle's fuel system is started within the target time period divided by the total number of times the target vehicle's power system is started within the target time period.

[0074] In one possible implementation, in step S201, if the number of times the target vehicle is charged on weekdays during the target time period is greater than the third threshold, the number of times it is charged on rest days during the target time period is greater than the fourth threshold, and the ratio of the number of times the target vehicle's fuel power system is started to the total number of times the target vehicle's power system is started during the target time period is less than the second ratio threshold, then it can be determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being primarily electric during the target time period.

[0075] In one possible implementation, in step S201, when the target driving length type is the driving length type of the target vehicle that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period, and the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being primarily fuel-powered during the target time period, if the ratio of the number of driving processes with a driving length less than a first length threshold on weekdays during the target time period to the total number of driving processes of the target vehicle on weekdays during the target time period is greater than a third ratio threshold, then the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's driving length type during the target time period as: short-distance type, and the target driving length type is: short-distance type. Wherein, this ratio is: the number of driving processes with a driving length less than the first length threshold on weekdays during the target time period divided by the total number of driving processes of the target vehicle on weekdays during the target time period.

[0076] In one possible implementation, in step S201, when the target driving length type is the driving length type of the target vehicle that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period, and the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being primarily fuel-powered during the target time period, if the ratio of the number of driving processes with a driving length greater than the second length threshold on weekdays during the target time period to the total number of driving processes of the target vehicle on weekdays during the target time period is greater than the fourth ratio threshold, then the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's driving length type during the target time period as: long-distance type, and the target driving length type is: long-distance type. Wherein, this ratio is: the number of driving processes with a driving length greater than the second length threshold on weekdays during the target time period divided by the total number of driving processes of the target vehicle on weekdays during the target time period.

[0077] In one possible implementation, in step S201, when the target driving length type is the driving length type of the target vehicle that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period, and the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being primarily pure electric during the target time period, if the ratio of the number of driving processes with a driving length less than the third length threshold on weekdays during the target time period to the total number of driving processes of the target vehicle on weekdays during the target time period is greater than the fifth ratio threshold, then the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's driving length type during the target time period as: short-distance type, and the target driving length type is: short-distance type. Wherein, this ratio is: the number of driving processes with a driving length less than the third length threshold on weekdays during the target time period divided by the total number of driving processes of the target vehicle on weekdays during the target time period.

[0078] In one possible implementation, in step S201, when the target driving length type is the driving length type of the target vehicle that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period and the working mode of the target vehicle that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period is mainly pure electric, if the ratio of the number of driving processes with a driving length greater than the fourth length threshold to the number of driving processes of the target vehicle on weekdays during the target time period is greater than the sixth ratio threshold, then the driving length type of the target vehicle that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to during the target time period is: long-distance type, and the target driving length type is: long-distance type.

[0079] In one possible implementation, in step S201, when the target driving length type is the driving length type of the navigation route length for the target vehicle, if the length of the navigation route for the target vehicle is less than the fifth length threshold, then the driving length type of the navigation route length for the target vehicle is: short-distance type, and the target driving length type is: short-distance type.

[0080] In one possible implementation, in step S201, when the target driving length type is the driving length type of the navigation route length for the target vehicle, if the length of the navigation route for the target vehicle is greater than the sixth length threshold, then the driving length type of the navigation route length for the target vehicle is: long-distance type, and the target driving length type is: long-distance type.

[0081] In step S202, target thermal management control operation is performed on the target vehicle based on the associated information.

[0082] The target thermal management control operation may include one of the following: activating the target vehicle's original thermal management system or deactivating the target vehicle's original thermal management system.

[0083] It should be noted that for situations other than those described in step S202, the target vehicle's thermal management can be controlled using the thermal management strategy of the original thermal management system.

[0084] In one possible implementation, when the target travel length type is short-distance, the target thermal management control operation includes: prohibiting the activation of the original thermal management system of the target vehicle when the ambient temperature of the environment where the target vehicle is located is lower than a first low temperature threshold and higher than a second low temperature threshold; and prohibiting the activation of the original thermal management system of the target vehicle when the ambient temperature of the environment where the target vehicle is located is higher than a first high temperature threshold and lower than a second high temperature threshold.

[0085] In one possible implementation, preventing the target vehicle's original thermal management system from starting includes: a module executing the vehicle thermal management control method provided in this disclosure embodiment can send an instruction to a module of the target vehicle that controls the starting and stopping of the target vehicle's original thermal management system, instructing that the starting of the target vehicle's original thermal management system be prevented, so that the module controlling the starting and stopping of the target vehicle's original thermal management system will not start the target vehicle's original thermal management system. Thus, the starting of the target vehicle's original thermal management system is prevented. Even if the thermal management strategy of the target vehicle's original thermal management system defines that the target vehicle's original thermal management system should be started, the target vehicle's original thermal management system may not be started due to the prohibition of starting the target vehicle's original thermal management system.

[0086] It should be noted that both the first low-temperature threshold and the first high-temperature threshold can be thresholds used in the thermal management strategy of the target vehicle's original thermal management system to determine whether to activate the original thermal management system. In the thermal management strategy of the target vehicle's original thermal management system, the system can be activated if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than the first low-temperature threshold. Conversely, the system can be activated if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than the first high-temperature threshold.

[0087] The second low-temperature threshold and the second high-temperature threshold are both thresholds related to safety hazards associated with the target vehicle's power battery. The second low-temperature threshold can also be called the extreme low-temperature threshold, and the second high-temperature threshold can also be called the extreme high-temperature threshold. If the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than the second low-temperature threshold, a safety hazard related to the target vehicle's power battery exists. If the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than the second high-temperature threshold, a safety hazard related to the target vehicle's power battery also exists.

[0088] If the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is below the first low-temperature threshold and above the second low-temperature threshold, it can be considered that the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is slightly low. A slightly low ambient temperature does not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle.

[0089] If the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is greater than the first high-temperature threshold but less than the second high-temperature threshold, it can be considered that the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is slightly high. A slightly high ambient temperature does not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle.

[0090] In the disclosed embodiments, when the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is slightly low and the target travel distance is short, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be disabled. This is because: a slightly low ambient temperature does not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle; the battery capacity degradation caused by a slightly low ambient temperature will not lead to a significant decrease in the target vehicle's range; and the short travel distance of the target vehicle's current journey will not prevent the target vehicle from completing its current journey. Therefore, when the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is slightly low and the target travel distance is short, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be disabled, saving the target vehicle's energy.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the ambient temperature of the target vehicle is slightly higher and the target travel distance is short, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be disabled. This is because: a slightly higher ambient temperature will not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle; a slightly lower ambient temperature will not cause battery capacity degradation, resulting in a significant decrease in the target vehicle's range; and the range will not decrease significantly, and the current travel distance is short, preventing the target vehicle from being unable to complete its current journey. Therefore, when the ambient temperature of the target vehicle is slightly higher and the target travel distance is short, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be disabled, saving energy for the target vehicle.

[0092] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the target vehicle's operating mode primarily based on fuel and the target driving distance type is long-distance, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the power battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than a first power charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be prevented from starting, and the target vehicle's engine can be used for heating.

[0093] Heating using the target vehicle's engine includes heating the target vehicle's power battery using the target vehicle's engine. A power battery charge greater than a first charge threshold can be considered to indicate that the target vehicle's power battery has sufficient charge.

[0094] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates the vehicle primarily in a fuel-powered mode and the target driving distance is long-distance during a target time period, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low-temperature threshold and higher than a second low-temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than the first charge threshold, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be prevented from starting. This is because: a slightly lower ambient temperature will not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle; the current driving distance of the target vehicle is long, and the required range for the current driving process is long. Using the target vehicle's engine for heating when the battery charge is sufficient can prevent the battery capacity from decreasing due to the ambient temperature being lower than the first low-temperature threshold, thus preventing a decrease in the target vehicle's range. This approach prevents the battery capacity from decreasing due to a slightly lower ambient temperature, while still meeting the user's energy usage preferences, and thus preventing a decrease in the target vehicle's range. It can also prevent the original thermal management system of the target vehicle from consuming too much energy, thus saving the target vehicle's energy.

[0095] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being primarily electric and the target driving distance being long-distance during the target time period, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the power battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than a first power charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be prevented from starting, and electric heating can be performed.

[0096] Electric heating includes heating the target vehicle's power battery.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates the vehicle primarily in pure electric mode during the target time period and the target driving distance is long-distance, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low-temperature threshold and higher than a second low-temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than the first charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle and electric heating can be prohibited. This is because: a slightly lower ambient temperature will not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle; the current driving distance of the target vehicle is long; and the current driving distance requires a long driving range. Electric heating when the battery charge of the target vehicle is sufficient can prevent the battery capacity from decreasing due to a slightly lower ambient temperature, thus preventing a reduction in the target vehicle's driving range. This approach can prevent the battery capacity from decreasing due to an ambient temperature lower than the first low-temperature threshold, while still meeting the user's energy usage preferences, and thus preventing a reduction in the target vehicle's driving range. It can also prevent the original thermal management system of the target vehicle from consuming too much energy, thus saving the target vehicle's energy.

[0098] refer to Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a flow chart of another vehicle thermal management control method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0099] Step S301: Obtain associated information, which includes at least some of the following items: user usage habits of the target vehicle, target driving length type of the target vehicle, ambient temperature of the environment in which the target vehicle is located, and battery charge of the target vehicle. The user usage habits of the target vehicle indicate that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to one of the following working modes during the target time period: performance-priority working mode, pure electric-priority working mode, or forced pure electric working mode.

[0100] In one possible implementation, when it is determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the target vehicle primarily in a fuel-powered operating mode during the target time period, if it is determined that the number of times the target vehicle is charged during the target time period is less than the fifth threshold and that the vehicle frequently uses power-saving mode during long-distance driving during the target time period (i.e., the ratio of the number of times power-saving mode is used during long-distance driving during the target time period to the total number of long-distance driving trips during the target time period is greater than the power-saving mode usage ratio), it can be determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the target vehicle in a performance-priority operating mode during the target time period.

[0101] The process of determining whether the target vehicle's users are accustomed to using a fuel-powered or pure electric operating mode during the target time period is referred to in step S201.

[0102] In one possible implementation, if it is determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the target vehicle in a pure electric mode during the target time period, and if it is determined that the number of times the target vehicle is charged during the target time period is greater than the fifth threshold and less than the sixth threshold, and the user of the target vehicle frequently uses the power-saving function during long-distance driving during the target time period, then it can be determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the target vehicle in a pure electric priority mode during the target time period.

[0103] In one possible implementation, if it is determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the target vehicle primarily in pure electric mode during the target time period, and if it is determined that the number of times the vehicle is charged during the target time period is greater than the sixth threshold and the user rarely uses the power-saving mode during long-distance driving during the target time period, then it can be determined that the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the target vehicle in the forced pure electric mode during the target time period.

[0104] Step S302: Based on the associated information, perform target thermal management control operations on the target vehicle.

[0105] It should be noted that for situations other than those described in step S302, vehicle thermal management control can be performed using the thermal management strategy of the target vehicle's original thermal management system.

[0106] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the performance-priority operating mode of the target vehicle during the target time period, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle is lower than a first low-temperature threshold, using the target vehicle's engine for heating; and after the target vehicle reaches a fully warm-up state, controlling the engine to shut off and activating the target vehicle's original thermal management system for heating. Reaching a fully warm-up state can be considered as completing the vehicle's warm-up process. Conditions indicating that the target vehicle has reached a fully warm-up state can be preset. When these conditions are met, the target vehicle is determined to have reached a fully warm-up state.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to operating in a performance-priority mode during the target time period, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low-temperature threshold, the target vehicle's engine is used for heating. After the target vehicle reaches a warm-up state, the engine is shut off, and the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated. This is because it is considered that if the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to operating in a performance-priority mode during the target time period, it can be assumed that the user prioritizes vehicle performance and is not particularly concerned about fuel consumption. Utilizing both the target vehicle's engine and its original thermal management system for heating can prevent the degradation of the target vehicle's battery capacity due to the ambient temperature being lower than the first low-temperature threshold, thus preventing a decrease in the target vehicle's range, while still meeting the user's energy usage preferences.

[0108] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being pure electric priority and the target driving distance being short-distance during the target time period, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the target vehicle's power battery charge is higher than a first charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated, and the waste heat of the target vehicle is used for heating, wherein the first low temperature threshold is higher than the second low temperature threshold; if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a first high temperature threshold and lower than a second high temperature threshold, and the target vehicle's power battery charge is higher than a first charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated, wherein the first high temperature threshold is lower than the second high temperature threshold.

[0109] The process of determining the target driving length type is referred to in step S201.

[0110] The waste heat of the target vehicle includes the waste heat generated during the process of the target vehicle's engine providing power.

[0111] If the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low-temperature threshold and higher than a second low-temperature threshold, it can be considered that the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is slightly low. If the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a first high-temperature threshold and lower than a second high-temperature threshold, it can be considered that the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is slightly high. If the target vehicle's power battery has a charge level greater than a first charge level threshold, it can be considered that the target vehicle's power battery has a sufficient charge level.

[0112] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in pure electric priority mode during a target time period and the target driving distance is short-distance, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low-temperature threshold and higher than a second low-temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than the first charge threshold, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle and the use of waste heat for heating are prohibited. This is because: a slightly lower ambient temperature will not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle; the battery capacity degradation caused by a slightly lower ambient temperature will not lead to a significant decrease in the target vehicle's range; the range will not decrease significantly; the current driving distance is short; and the battery charge is sufficient, preventing the target vehicle from being unable to complete its current driving distance. Therefore, the original thermal management system can be disabled, saving the target vehicle's energy.

[0113] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in pure electric priority mode during a target time period and the target driving distance is short-distance, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a first high-temperature threshold and lower than a second high-temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than the first charge threshold, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated. This is because: a slightly higher ambient temperature will not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle; the battery capacity degradation caused by a slightly higher ambient temperature will not lead to a significant decrease in the target vehicle's range; the target vehicle's range will not decrease significantly; the current driving distance of the target vehicle is short; and the battery charge of the target vehicle is sufficient to prevent the target vehicle from being unable to complete its current driving distance. Therefore, the activation of the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be prohibited, saving the target vehicle's energy.

[0114] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being pure electric priority and the target driving distance being short-distance during the target time period, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the target vehicle's power battery charge is lower than a first charge threshold, activating the target vehicle's original thermal management system to utilize the target vehicle's original thermal management system for heating, wherein the first low temperature threshold is higher than the second low temperature threshold; if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a first high temperature threshold and the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a second high temperature threshold, and the target vehicle's power battery charge is lower than the first charge threshold, activating the target vehicle's original thermal management system to utilize the target vehicle's original thermal management system for cooling, wherein the first high temperature threshold is lower than the second high temperature threshold.

[0115] Cooling using the target vehicle's original thermal management system includes cooling the target vehicle's power battery.

[0116] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in pure electric priority mode and the target driving distance is short-distance during the target time period, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is lower than a first charge threshold, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated to provide heating. This is because, although the slightly lower ambient temperature does not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle, insufficient battery charge and capacity degradation caused by the slightly lower ambient temperature may prevent the target vehicle from completing its current driving process. Therefore, the original thermal management system can be activated to prevent the battery capacity degradation caused by the ambient temperature being lower than the first low temperature threshold, thus preventing a decrease in the target vehicle's range.

[0117] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in pure electric priority mode and the target driving distance is short-distance during the target time period, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is greater than a first high temperature threshold and less than a second high temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is less than the first charge threshold, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated for cooling. This is because it is considered that although the slightly higher ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment does not pose a safety hazard, the insufficient charge of the target vehicle's battery and the capacity degradation caused by the slightly higher ambient temperature may prevent the target vehicle from completing its current driving process. Therefore, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can be activated to prevent the reduction in the target vehicle's range due to the capacity degradation of the target vehicle's battery, thus avoiding the situation where the target vehicle cannot complete its current driving process.

[0118] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the pure electric priority operating mode of the target vehicle during the target time period and the target driving distance is long-distance, the target thermal management control operation includes: if a first condition is met, using the target vehicle's engine for heating; after the target vehicle reaches a fully warm-up state, controlling the target vehicle's engine to shut off, and activating the target vehicle's original thermal management system to utilize the original thermal management system for heating; utilizing the original thermal management system for heating includes: heating the target vehicle's power battery; the first condition includes: the ambient temperature of the environment where the target vehicle is located is lower than a first low temperature threshold, and the ambient temperature of the environment where the target vehicle is located is lower than a first low temperature threshold. If the second condition is met, the target vehicle's original thermal management system is activated to perform cooling. The second condition includes: the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is greater than a second low temperature threshold, the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is less than a second high temperature threshold, the power battery charge of the target vehicle is greater than a second low temperature threshold, and the power battery charge of the target vehicle is less than a first high temperature threshold.

[0119] The condition that the target vehicle's power battery has a certain amount of charge but is not sufficient can be considered as: the target vehicle's power battery has a certain amount of charge but is not sufficient.

[0120] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the pure electric priority mode and the target driving distance is long-distance during the target time period, if the first condition is met, the target vehicle's engine is used for heating. After the target vehicle reaches a fully warm-up state, the engine is shut off, and the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated for heating. This is because it takes into account that: the current driving distance of the target vehicle is long, the current driving distance requires a long range, the target vehicle's power battery has some charge but is not sufficient, and the ambient temperature of the target vehicle is slightly low, causing the power battery capacity to decrease, which may prevent the target vehicle from completing the current driving distance. Utilizing the target vehicle's engine for heating and the original thermal management system for heating prevents the power battery capacity from decreasing due to the ambient temperature of the target vehicle being below a first low-temperature threshold, thus preventing a decrease in the target vehicle's range. At the same time, by using the target vehicle's engine for heating, the target vehicle's power battery can be heated, and other components can also be heated to a temperature that allows them to operate at a better condition, enabling the target vehicle to run under better conditions.

[0121] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the pure electric priority operating mode and the target driving distance type is long-distance during the target time period, if the second condition is met, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated for cooling. This is because it takes into account that: the current driving distance of the target vehicle is long, the driving range required for the current driving process is long, the target vehicle's power battery has some charge but is not sufficient, and the ambient temperature of the target vehicle is slightly high, causing the capacity of the target vehicle's power battery to decay, which may result in the target vehicle being unable to complete the current driving process. Cooling using the original thermal management system of the target vehicle can prevent the capacity decay of the target vehicle's power battery due to the ambient temperature of the target vehicle exceeding the first high temperature threshold, and prevent the decrease in the target vehicle's driving range due to the capacity decay of the target vehicle's power battery.

[0122] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being forced pure electric mode and the target driving distance type being short-distance during the target time period, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and higher than a second low temperature threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated, and the waste heat of the target vehicle is used for heating, wherein the first low temperature threshold is higher than the second low temperature threshold; if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a first high temperature threshold and lower than a second high temperature threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated, wherein the first high temperature threshold is lower than the second high temperature threshold.

[0123] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the forced pure electric operating mode and the target driving distance is short-distance during the target time period, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low-temperature threshold and higher than a second low-temperature threshold, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated, and waste heat from the target vehicle is used for heating. This is because: when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the forced pure electric operating mode during the target time period, the user prefers the target vehicle to use more electricity and dislikes excessive energy consumption, thus preventing the degradation of the target vehicle's power battery. A slightly lower ambient temperature does not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle, allowing the original thermal management system to be disabled, saving energy and aligning with the user's energy usage preferences. Utilizing waste heat from the target vehicle prevents the degradation of the target vehicle's power battery and reduces its driving range. Given the short driving distance of the current journey and the prevention of reduced driving range, the target vehicle is prevented from being unable to complete its current driving journey.

[0124] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the forced pure electric operating mode and the target driving distance is short-distance during the target time period, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is greater than a first high temperature threshold and less than a second high temperature threshold. This is because it takes into account that when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the forced pure electric operating mode during the target time period, the user prefers the vehicle to consume more electricity and dislikes excessive energy consumption, thus preventing the degradation of the vehicle's power battery capacity. A slightly higher ambient temperature does not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle, allowing the original thermal management system to be disabled, saving energy and aligning with the user's energy usage preferences. The battery capacity degradation caused by a slightly higher ambient temperature will not lead to a significant decrease in the vehicle's range. Since the range will not decrease significantly and the current driving distance is short, the vehicle will not be unable to complete its current driving distance.

[0125] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being forced pure electric mode and the target driving distance being long-distance, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the power battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than a second power charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated, and the waste heat of the target vehicle is used for heating; if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a first high temperature threshold and lower than a second high temperature threshold, and the power battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than a second power charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated, wherein the first high temperature threshold is lower than the second high temperature threshold.

[0126] The fact that the power battery of the target vehicle has a charge greater than the second charge threshold can be considered as the target vehicle's power battery having at least a certain charge.

[0127] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in a forced pure electric mode during a target time period and the target driving distance is long-distance, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low-temperature threshold and higher than a second low-temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is higher than a second charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated to utilize the vehicle's waste heat for heating. This is because when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in a forced pure electric mode during the target time period, the user prefers the vehicle to consume more electricity and dislikes excessive energy consumption to prevent battery charge degradation. A slightly lower ambient temperature in which the target vehicle is located does not pose a safety hazard, thus prohibiting the activation of the original thermal management system saves energy and aligns with the user's energy usage preferences. By using the waste heat of the target vehicle for heating, the capacity of the target vehicle's power battery can be prevented from decaying due to the ambient temperature of the target vehicle being lower than the first low temperature threshold, and the target vehicle's range can be prevented from decreasing. The target vehicle's power battery will have at least a certain amount of charge, and the range of the target vehicle will not decrease, so that the target vehicle will not be unable to complete the current driving process.

[0128] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in a forced pure electric mode during a target time period and the target driving distance is long-distance, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is greater than a first high-temperature threshold and less than a second high-temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is greater than the second charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is prohibited from being activated. This is because: when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in a forced pure electric mode during the target time period, the user prefers the vehicle to use more electricity and dislikes excessive energy consumption, thus preventing the battery charge from degrading. A slightly higher ambient temperature does not pose a safety hazard to the target vehicle, allowing the original thermal management system to be disabled, saving energy and aligning with the user's energy usage preferences. The battery capacity degradation caused by a slightly higher ambient temperature will not lead to a significant decrease in the vehicle's range. Since the range will not decrease significantly and the battery charge will have at least a certain amount of charge, the vehicle will not be unable to complete its current driving process.

[0129] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being forced pure electric mode and the target driving distance being long-distance, the target thermal management control operation includes: if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the target vehicle's power battery charge is lower than a second charge threshold, then the target vehicle's engine is used for heating; and after the target vehicle reaches a warm-up state, the target vehicle's engine is shut off, and the target vehicle's original thermal management system is activated to utilize the original thermal management system for heating; if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is higher than a first high temperature threshold and lower than a second high temperature threshold, and the target vehicle's power battery charge is lower than a second charge threshold, then the target vehicle's original thermal management system is activated to utilize the original thermal management system for cooling, wherein the first high temperature threshold is lower than the second high temperature threshold.

[0130] In this context, the fact that the power battery charge of the target vehicle is less than the second charge threshold can be considered as: the power battery charge of the target vehicle is low.

[0131] Heating using the target vehicle's original thermal management system includes heating the target vehicle's power battery. Cooling using the target vehicle's original thermal management system includes cooling the target vehicle's power battery.

[0132] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the forced pure electric operating mode and the target driving distance is long-distance during the target time period, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is lower than a first low temperature threshold and higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is lower than the second charge threshold, then the target vehicle's engine is used for heating. After the target vehicle reaches a warm-up state, the engine is shut off, and the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated. This is because the following factors are considered: the current driving distance of the target vehicle is long, the driving range required for the current driving process is long, the battery charge of the target vehicle is low, and the battery capacity decay caused by the slightly low ambient temperature may prevent the target vehicle from completing its current driving process. Therefore, although the target user does not like the target vehicle consuming more energy to prevent the battery charge from decaying, it is necessary to consume more energy to prevent the target vehicle from failing to complete its current driving process. Heating the target vehicle using its engine and its original thermal management system can prevent the battery capacity from degrading due to slightly lower ambient temperatures, thus preventing a decrease in the vehicle's range. Simultaneously, heating the engine not only heats the battery but also ensures other components operate at optimal temperatures, allowing the vehicle to run under better conditions and preventing battery capacity degradation that could reduce range and prevent the vehicle from being unable to complete its current driving process.

[0133] In this embodiment, when the user of the target vehicle habitually operates in forced pure electric mode during the target time period and the target driving distance is long-distance, if the ambient temperature of the target vehicle's environment is greater than a first high-temperature threshold and less than a second high-temperature threshold, and the battery charge of the target vehicle is less than the second charge threshold, then the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated for cooling. This is because it takes into account that: the current driving distance of the target vehicle is long, the driving range required for the current driving process is long, the battery charge of the target vehicle is low, and the battery capacity decay caused by the slightly higher ambient temperature may prevent the target vehicle from completing its current driving process. Therefore, although the target user dislikes the target vehicle consuming more energy to prevent the battery charge from decaying, it is necessary to consume more energy to prevent the target vehicle from being unable to complete its current driving process. Cooling using the target vehicle's original thermal management system can prevent the capacity of the target vehicle's power battery from decreasing due to slightly higher ambient temperatures, and also prevent the decrease in the target vehicle's range caused by the decrease in the power battery's capacity.

[0134] This disclosure provides a vehicle thermal management control device. This device is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments, and details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "unit" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.

[0135] The vehicle thermal management control device includes:

[0136] The acquisition unit is used to acquire associated information, which includes at least some of the following items: user's driving habits information of the target vehicle, target driving length type of the target vehicle, ambient temperature of the environment in which the target vehicle is located, and battery charge of the target vehicle. The user's driving habits information indicates the operating mode of the target vehicle that the user is accustomed to during the target time period. The target driving length type is the driving length type for the length of the navigation route of the target vehicle or the driving length type of the target vehicle that the user is accustomed to during the target time period.

[0137] A thermal management control unit is used to perform target thermal management control operations on the target vehicle based on the associated information.

[0138] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to the target vehicle's operating mode being the performance-priority operating mode during the target time period, the thermal management control unit is further configured to use the target vehicle's engine to heat the vehicle when the ambient temperature is lower than a first low temperature threshold, and after the target vehicle reaches a fully warm-up state, control the target vehicle's engine to shut off and start the target vehicle's original thermal management system.

[0139] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the pure electric priority operating mode and the target travel distance type is short-distance during the target time period, the thermal management control unit is further configured to: prohibit the activation of the target vehicle's original thermal management system and utilize the target vehicle's waste heat for heating when the ambient temperature is lower than a first low temperature threshold and the ambient temperature is higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the battery charge is higher than a first battery charge threshold; and prohibit the activation of the target vehicle's original thermal management system when the ambient temperature is higher than a first high temperature threshold and the ambient temperature is lower than a second high temperature threshold, and the battery charge is higher than a first battery charge threshold, where the first high temperature threshold is lower than the second high temperature threshold.

[0140] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the pure electric priority operating mode of the target vehicle during the target time period and the target driving distance is short-distance, the thermal management control unit is further configured to activate the original thermal management system of the target vehicle when the ambient temperature is lower than a first low temperature threshold, the ambient temperature of the environment in which the target vehicle is located is higher than a second low temperature threshold, and the battery charge is lower than a first battery charge threshold, wherein the first low temperature threshold is higher than the second low temperature threshold; and when the ambient temperature is higher than a first high temperature threshold, the ambient temperature is lower than a second high temperature threshold, and the battery charge is lower than the first battery charge threshold, the original thermal management system of the target vehicle is activated, wherein the first high temperature threshold is lower than the second high temperature threshold.

[0141] In one possible implementation, when the user of the target vehicle is accustomed to using the pure electric priority operating mode of the target vehicle during the target time period, and the target driving distance is long-distance, the thermal management control unit is further configured to, when a first condition is met, use the engine of the target vehicle for heating; after the target vehicle reaches a fully warm-up state, control the engine of the target vehicle to shut off and start the original thermal management system of the target vehicle.
