[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a vehicle 100, including at least one of the following:

[0050] Step S101: When the winch 10 has no working requirement and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has a working requirement, the integrated control device controls the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work;

[0051] Step S103: When the winch 10 has a working requirement, the integrated control device controls the winch 10 to work, or controls the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and the winch 10 to work.

[0052] For the above control method of the vehicle 100, the integrated control device can control the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 according to the working requirement of the winch 10. When the winch 10 has no working requirement, the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can also be controlled independently, without causing redundant energy consumption, thereby reducing the overall vehicle energy consumption.

[0053] Specifically, a winch 10 can be installed on the vehicle 100. The winch 10 is used to help the vehicle itself or other vehicles 100 get out of trouble in an outdoor environment. The winch 10 generally includes a motor, an actuator, and a controller. The controller is connected to the motor, the motor is connected to the actuator, the actuator includes a rotating shaft and a cable, one end of the cable is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the controller controls the motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate forward or backward to realize the release and retraction of the cable.

[0054] However, since the winch 10 is installed on the vehicle, the controller of the winch 10 needs to be used alone to control the winch 10 to work, which increases the control devices on the vehicle 100 and the cost of the vehicle 100. If the controller of the winch 10 is integrated with other controllers on the vehicle 100, the motor of the winch 10 will work synchronously with the motors controlled by the corresponding controllers. For example, the winch 10 shares a controller with the compressor controller on the vehicle. At this time, the winch 10 motor or the compressor motor must work or stop synchronously. However, the compressor motor of the vehicle 100 needs to work independently more often. If the winch 10 motor and the compressor motor work synchronously, it will cause energy consumption and increase the overall vehicle energy consumption.

[0055] Therefore, the control method of the vehicle 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can obtain the working requirements of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12, and control the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 through the integrated control device. At the same time, the integrated control device can control the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work independently, thereby avoiding the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 from working simultaneously when the winch 10 has no working requirement, and thus reducing the energy consumption on the vehicle.

[0056] Among them, the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 is driven by the compressor motor of the vehicle 100. Controlling the compressor motor of the vehicle 100 to work can drive the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work.

[0057] In some embodiments, the above control method enables the integrated control device to control the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work independently, or to control the winch 10 to operate independently, or to control the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and the winch 10 to work separately.

[0058] In some embodiments, the above control method enables the integrated control device to control the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work independently, or to control the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work synchronously.

[0059] In certain embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14, the first motor 14 is connected to the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12, and the control method includes:

[0060] When there is no working requirement for the winch 10 and there is a working requirement for the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12, the integrated control device controls the first motor 14 to drive the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work.

[0061] In this way, the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can be controlled to work independently, reducing the energy loss on the vehicle.

[0062] Specifically, the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has a higher working frequency than the winch 10. Therefore, the first motor 14 can be used to drive the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work. At this time, the first motor 14 can be a compressor motor. When the working requirement of the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 is obtained, the first motor 14 is controlled to work to drive the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work.

[0063] In certain embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14 and a switching member. The first motor 14 is selectively connected to the winch 10 and / or the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 through the switching member. The control method includes:

[0064] When there is no working requirement for the winch 10 and there is a working requirement for the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12, the integrated control device controls the first motor 14 to be connected to the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 through the switching member and drive the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work.

[0065] In this way, the switching member enables the first motor 14 to be selectively connected to the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12, so that the first motor 14 can be used to control the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work synchronously or separately according to the working requirements of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12.

[0066] Specifically, the switching member is used to connect the output shaft of the motor to the winch 10 or the compressor, so that the rotating shaft of the winch 10 works, or the compressor works to make the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 operate. The switching member includes a clutch or a gearbox.

[0067] For example, a clutch is used to selectively connect the first motor 14 to the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12. When the clutch is in the first position, the output shaft of the first motor 14 is connected to the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, enabling the first motor 14 to drive the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to operate. When the clutch is in the second position, the output shaft of the first motor 14 is connected to the rotating shaft of the winch 10, causing the first motor 14 to drive the rotating shaft of the winch 10 to rotate to release or retract the cable. Alternatively, when the clutch is in the third position, it is possible to simultaneously connect the output shaft of the first motor 14, the rotating shaft of the winch 10, and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, enabling the first motor 14 to drive the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to operate simultaneously.

[0068] When there is no working requirement for the winch 10 and there is a working requirement for the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, the integrated control device controls the switching element to connect the first motor 14 and the compressor, and the compressor operates to make the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 run.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, step S103 includes:

[0070] Step S1031: When there is a working requirement for the winch 10 and there is no working requirement for the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, the integrated control device controls the winch 10 to operate, or controls the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to operate synchronously.

[0071] Thus, in the case where the controller of the winch 10 is integrated with the controller of the vehicle compressor, the integrated control device can control the winch 10 to work alone or control the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to work synchronously.

[0072] Specifically, for the control of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, one motor can be set. By setting a switching element, the output shaft of the motor can be selectively connected to the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, or simultaneously connected to the winch 10 or the air conditioning module to make both operate simultaneously. In this way, the number of motors installed on the vehicle 100 can be reduced, thereby saving the installation space of the winch 10. Alternatively, two motors can be set, where the first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to operate and the second motor 18 drives the winch 10 to operate. In this way, the rotation speed and direction of the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 can be controlled separately to achieve separate control of the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 and the winch 10, and the control effect is better.

[0073] The first motor 14 and the second motor 18 include but are not limited to high-voltage synchronous motors, high-voltage asynchronous motors, or high-voltage wound-rotor asynchronous motors, etc. Optionally, when the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 need to work synchronously, the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 can be motors of the same type and the same model to improve the reliability of the motors.

[0074] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a second motor 18, the second motor 18 is connected to the winch 10, and the control method includes:

[0075] When the winch 10 has a working requirement and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has no working requirement, the integrated control device controls the second motor 18 to drive the winch 10 to work.

[0076] In this way, the second motor 18 drives the winch 10 to work alone, and separate control of the winch 10 can be achieved.

[0077] Specifically, the vehicle includes a first motor 14 and a second motor 18. The first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work, and the second motor 18 drives the winch 10 to work. Thus, the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can work separately or simultaneously, and their operations do not affect each other.

[0078] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14 and a second motor 18. The first motor 14 is connected to the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12, and the first motor 14 is connected to the winch 10 through the second motor 18. The control method includes:

[0079] When the winch 10 has a working requirement and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has no working requirement, the integrated control device controls the first motor 14 to drive the second motor 18 to drive the winch 10 and drive the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work synchronously.

[0080] In this way, the first motor 14 drives the second motor 18 to make the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 work synchronously, which is beneficial to reducing the control devices on the vehicle and saving costs.

[0081] Specifically, the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 are connected by a transmission shaft. The first motor 14 can work alone, or the first motor 14 is connected to the second motor 18 through the transmission shaft, which can make the first motor 14 drive the second motor 18 to rotate synchronously, so as to realize that the first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and at the same time drives the second motor 18 to drive the winch 10 to work. Thus, by an integrated control device, it is possible to control the first motor 14 to work alone, or the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to work synchronously, which is beneficial to reducing the control devices on the vehicle and saving costs.

[0082] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a battery temperature control module 20, and the second motor 18 drives the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and / or the battery temperature control module 20 to work. The control method includes:

[0083] When the winch 10 has a working requirement and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has no working requirement, the integrated control device controls the second motor 18 to drive the first motor 14 to drive the winch 10 and the drive battery temperature control module 20 to work synchronously.

[0084] In this way, when the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has no working requirement, the compressor can drive the battery temperature control module 20 to operate.

[0085] Specifically, the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 are connected by a transmission shaft, and the first motor 14 drives the second motor 18 to operate through the transmission shaft. Therefore, when the second motor 18 needs to work, the first motor 14 must be started to drive the second motor 18. Since the first motor 14 is used to drive the compressor to work, when the second motor 18 drives the winch 10 to work, the compressor needs to be in a working state. In the vehicle 100 with the power battery 38, on the one hand, the operation of the compressor can make the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 work to adjust the temperature of the passenger compartment in the vehicle 100, and on the other hand, it can make the battery temperature control module 20 work to adjust the temperature of the power motor of the vehicle 100. At this time, if the winch 10 has a working requirement, it is necessary to control the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to work synchronously, and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has no working requirement and the in-vehicle air-conditioning is in the off state. If the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 is suddenly made to work, it does not conform to the user's settings and will affect the user experience. If the first motor 14 rotates but the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 is in a non-working state, the compressor will enter the overload protection state, which may damage the first motor 14. Therefore, the first motor 14 can be rotated to drive the battery temperature control module 20 to work to adjust the temperature of the power battery 38 of the vehicle 100. In this way, the original state of the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can be maintained, the temperature control cycle can be unblocked, the compressor overload protection can be prevented, and the compressor will not be damaged.

[0086] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14 and a switching member. The first motor 14 is selectively connected to the winch 10 and / or the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 through the switching member. The control method includes:

[0087] When the winch 10 has a working requirement and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 has no working requirement, the integrated control device controls the first motor 14 to be connected to the winch 10 through the switching member and drive the winch 10 to work.

[0088] In this way, according to whether the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 have working requirements, the integrated control device controls the switching member to connect to the winch 10 or connect to the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12.

[0089] Specifically, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14 and a switching member. The switching member is configured to selectively connect the first motor 14 to the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 according to the requirements of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12. When the winch 10 has a working requirement and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 has no working requirement, the switching member is controlled to connect the first motor 14 and the winch 10, and the first motor 14 is controlled to drive the winch 10 to work, thereby realizing the independent control of the winch 10.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, step S103 includes:

[0091] Step S1033: When both the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 have working requirements, the integrated control device controls the winch 10 to work and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to work.

[0092] In this way, according to the working requirements of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, through different control methods, the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 can be driven to work separately, or the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 can be controlled to work synchronously.

[0093] Specifically, when both the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 have working requirements, the winch 10 is controlled to work and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 is controlled to work. Among them, the first motor 14 can drive the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, and the second motor 18 can drive the winch 10, so that the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 can be controlled to work separately, and the rotation speed and direction of the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 can be different. Alternatively, through the first motor 14 and the switching member, the first motor 14 can be made to drive the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to work simultaneously. Or, the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 can be connected by a transmission shaft, so that the first motor 14 drives the second motor 18 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing that the first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 and simultaneously drives the second motor 18 to drive the winch 10 to work.

[0094] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14 and a switching member. The first motor 14 is connected to the winch 10 and / or the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 through the switching member. The control method includes:

[0095] When both the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 have working requirements, the integrated control device controls the first motor 14 to be connected to the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 through the switching member and drives the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to work synchronously.

[0096] In this way, through the first motor 14 and the switching member, the synchronous control of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 can be realized.

[0097] Specifically, when there are working requirements for both the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, the integrated control device can control the switching member to connect the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 simultaneously, so that the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 can work simultaneously. Through the first motor 14 and the switching member, synchronous control of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 can be achieved.

[0098] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14 and a second motor 18. The first motor 14 is connected to the winch 10, and the second motor 18 is connected to the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12. The control method includes:

[0099] When there are working requirements for both the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, the integrated control device controls the first motor 14 to drive the winch 10 to work and controls the second motor 18 to drive the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to work.

[0100] In this way, the integrated control device can control the rotational speed and direction of rotation of the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 respectively, so as to control the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 and the winch 10 to work separately.

[0101] Specifically, the first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, and the second motor 18 drives the winch 10, so that the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 can be controlled to work respectively, and the rotational speed and direction of rotation of the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 can be different.

[0102] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a first motor 14 and a second motor 18. The first motor 14 is connected to the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, and the first motor 14 is connected to the winch 10 through the second motor 18. The control method includes:

[0103] When there are working requirements for both the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, the integrated control device controls the first motor 14 to drive the second motor 18 to drive the winch 10 and drive the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to work synchronously.

[0104] In this way, the integrated control device can control the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to rotate synchronously, and achieve synchronous control of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12.

[0105] Specifically, the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 are connected by a transmission shaft, so that the first motor 14 drives the second motor 18 to rotate synchronously, so as to realize that the first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 and at the same time drives the second motor 18 to drive the winch 10 to work.

[0106] In some embodiments, the working requirement of the winch 10 and / or the working requirement of the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 is determined according to the control instruction output by the terminal device 24, or is determined according to the signal output by the sensor 26.

[0107] In this way, the switch 28 of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can be controlled through the terminal device 24, or the working requirements of the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can be determined based on the signals output by the sensor 26.

[0108] Specifically, the terminal device 24 includes, but is not limited to, a car key, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a wearable smart device, etc. The user can generate the working requirements for the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 through the terminal device 24. The integrated control device is communicatively connected to the terminal device 24, and the terminal device 24 sends the working requirements to the integrated control device. The integrated control device controls the winch 10 to work according to different working requirements, or controls the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 to work, or controls both the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning to start working.

[0109] Or the sensor 26 can include a temperature sensor, a slope sensor, a pressure sensor, a solar irradiance sensor, etc. Each sensor can be an independent module, or integrated into a module, or integrated into a module in the product, and they are connected to the integrated control device by a low-voltage wire harness.

[0110] In one example, the working requirements for the in-vehicle air-conditioning module can be generated based on the information collected by the sensor 26. For example, the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 100 can be preset. When the in-vehicle temperature is higher than the preset maximum temperature or lower than the minimum temperature, the working requirements for the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 are generated. Optionally, the working requirements for the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can be generated through voice commands. The integrated control device is connected to the voice component on the vehicle 100, and the voice component can collect the user's voice commands, so that the integrated control device can receive the working requirements for the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 according to the user's voice commands.

[0111] In some embodiments, the integrated control device is configured to control the rotational speed of the motor of the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and the rotational speed of the motor of the winch 10.

[0112] In this way, the switch and the operating state of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 can be controlled through the integrated control device.

[0113] Specifically, the first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12, and the second motor 18 drives the winch 10. At this time, the integrated control device can respectively control the rotational speed of the first motor 14 and the rotational speed of the second motor 18, so as to drive the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and the winch 10 to work respectively.

[0114] Furthermore, the integrated control device can also control the rotation directions of the first motor 14 and the second motor 18, so as to control the release and retraction of the cable of the winch 10.

[0115] Alternatively, the first motor 14 drives the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 and the winch 10 separately or synchronously. At this time, the integrated control device can control the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 and the winch 10 to work separately or synchronously by controlling the rotation speed of the first motor 14.

[0116] Alternatively, the first motor 14 is connected to the second motor 18 through a transmission shaft. At this time, the integrated control device can control the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to rotate at the same speed by controlling the rotation speed of the first motor 14, so as to control the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 to work alone, or control the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 and the winch 10 to work synchronously.

[0117] In some embodiments, the integrated control device is further configured to parse and transmit data.

[0118] In this way, the integrated control device can receive and parse the working requirements of the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, and receive or send control instructions.

[0119] Specifically, the integrated control device has the functions of bus data parsing, calculation, and driving. The integrated control device can parse and obtain the working requirements of the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 according to the control instructions output by the terminal device. When it is determined that the winch 10 or the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12 has working requirements, a control instruction is sent to the motor or the controller to control the corresponding motor to work.

[0120] In some embodiments, the integrated control device includes a microcontroller unit 36 (Microcontroller Unit, MCU) or a domain controller 30.

[0121] Specifically, the integrated control device can be the domain controller 30 on the vehicle 100. The domain controller 30 divides the whole vehicle into several domains such as powertrain, intelligent cockpit, and autonomous driving according to the functions of automotive electronic components, and relatively centrally controls each domain by using a multi-core CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processor) / GPU (Graphic Processing Unit, graphics processor) chip with stronger processing capabilities, having advantages such as platformization, compatibility, high integration, and good performance.

[0122] The integrated control device can also be the microcontroller unit 36. The microcontroller unit 36 includes a second processor and a second memory. The second memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the second processor, the steps of the control method of the vehicle 100 in any of the above embodiments are implemented.

[0123] The microcontroller unit 36 is configured to receive instructions from the domain controller 30 and control the first motor 14 and the second motor 18.

[0124] An integrated control device according to an embodiment of the present application includes a processor 32 and a memory 34. The memory 34 stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor 32, the steps of the control method of the vehicle 100 in any of the above embodiments are implemented.

[0125] Specifically, the integrated controller includes a microcontroller unit 36 (MCU) or a domain controller 30.

[0126] In an example, the integrated control device is a domain controller 30. The user operates on the terminal device 24. For example, the user presses the soft button for the rope winding function of the winch 10 on the terminal device 24 (the operation here can be a long press or a short press), and at the same time, the user turns on the air conditioner switch 28 in the vehicle and sets the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner to 26 °C. During the valid period of the button press, the terminal device 24 sends an output instruction through a specific data communication protocol, and the domain controller 30 receives it.

[0127] The domain controller 30 judges the working requirements of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioner module 12 of the user at this time according to the output information of the terminal device 24, and controls the first motor 14 and the second motor 18. For example, the sensor 26 includes a temperature sensor 26 and a slope sensor 26. The temperature sensor 26 collects that the current outside temperature of the vehicle is 30 °C and the inside temperature of the vehicle is 28 °C. The slope sensor 26 collects that the slope of the current position of the vehicle 100 is 30 °. The domain controller 30 calculates the rotation speed of the compressor motor (the first motor 14) (for example, 3000 r / min) that can make the air outlet temperature of the air conditioner reach the target air outlet temperature and the rotation speed of the second motor 18 (for example, 2000 r / min) required to pull the vehicle 100 at a constant speed under the current slope (30 °) of the vehicle 100 according to the output information of the sensor 26 and the output instruction of the terminal device 24 (turn on the air conditioner switch 28 in the vehicle and set the target air outlet temperature of the air conditioner to 26 °C, the rope winding control instruction), generates a first control instruction (the target rotation speed of the compressor motor is 2000 r / min) and a second control instruction (the target rotation speed of the second motor 18 is 3000 r / min), and controls the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to run at the target rotation speed according to the first control instruction.

[0128] Optionally, the working requirements of the winch 10 and the in-vehicle air conditioner module 12 can be generated by the switch 28 on the vehicle 100. The switch 28 can include a physical switch 28 or a virtual switch 28. The virtual switch 28 can include a virtual switch 28 displayed on the display component of the vehicle 100, and the user can operate (long press or short press, etc.) the virtual switch 28 through the display component of the vehicle 100 to generate a working requirement.

[0129] Such as Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle 100 further includes a micro control unit 36, which is configured to receive control instructions from the domain controller 30 and control the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 according to the control instructions.

[0130] The communication methods between the domain controller 30 and the terminal device 24, between the domain controller 30 and the sensor 26, and between the domain controller 30 and the micro control unit 36 include but are not limited to data communication protocols such as CAN (Controller Area Network), CANFD (CAN Flexible Data-rate), LIN (Local Interconnect Network), and Ethernet.

[0131] In some embodiments, the micro control unit 36, the micro control unit 36, the micro control unit 36, the domain controller 30

[0132] The following functions can be achieved through the above control method:

[0133] S01: The user operates on the terminal device 24 or the operation switch 28. As an example, the user presses the winch 10 rope-laying function soft key on the terminal device 24 (the operation here can be a long press or a short press). During the valid period of the key press, the terminal device 24 sends a rope-laying demand signal through a specific data communication protocol (such as: CAN bus), and the domain controller 30 receives it.

[0134] S02: After receiving the work demand, the domain controller 30 determines whether it is a demand related to the activation of the winch 10. If so, it enters S03; otherwise, it enters S09. As an example, at this time, after receiving the demand signal, the domain controller 30 parses and confirms that it is a demand for activating the winch 10 rope-laying function, and then enters step S03.

[0135] S03: The domain controller 30 parses and records the work demand from the terminal device or the physical switch, and converts the user's current demand for the winch 10 into a rotational speed demand for the winch 10. As an example, at this time, the domain controller 30 comprehensively calculates by combining the current collected values of each sensor 26, and finally determines the demand as: the winch 10 motor operates at 2000 r / min.

[0136] S04: The domain controller 30 judges: whether there is a demand for cooling or heating in the passenger cabin at this time. If so, it enters S11; otherwise, it enters S05. As an example, at this time, the domain controller 30 does not receive the work demand of the in-vehicle air conditioning module 12, then it judges that there is no demand for cooling or heating, and enters step S05;

[0137] S05: The domain controller 30 determines whether there is a cooling or heating requirement for the power battery 38 at this time. If so, it enters S11; otherwise, it enters S06. As an example, at this time, the domain controller 30 does not receive the working requirement of the power battery 38, so it is determined that there is no cooling or heating requirement, and then it enters step S06;

[0138] S06: When the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 of the domain controller 30 remains closed, it controls the relevant components to switch to turn on the battery temperature control module 20. As an example, the domain controller 30 keeps the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 closed at this time, controls the states of the valves in the battery temperature control module 20, turns on the battery temperature control, makes the compressor work cycle unobstructed, and prevents the compressor from overloading protection.

[0139] S07: The domain controller 30 transmits the rotational speed requirement signals for the compressor and the winch 10 to the micro-control unit 36 through the bus. As an example, the domain controller 30 sends the above requirements through a specific data communication protocol (such as: CAN bus) to issue a rotational speed requirement signal of 2000 r / min for the compressor and the winch 10, and it is received by the micro-control unit 36;

[0140] S08: The micro-control unit 36 controls the connection of the transmission shafts in the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 according to the requirements, and at the same time controls the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to work at the same rotational speed. As an example, after receiving the rotational speed requirement, the micro-control unit 36 controls the transmission shafts in the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to the connected state, and at the same time controls the rotational speeds of the first motor 14 and the second motor 18 to 2000 r / min;

[0141] S09: The domain controller 30 transmits the requirement signal for disconnecting the transmission of the winch 10 to the micro-control unit 36 through the bus. As an example, if the working requirement of the winch 10 is not received at this time, the domain controller 30 sends a signal to turn off the winch 10 through a specific data communication protocol (such as: CAN bus), and it is received by the micro-control unit 36;

[0142] S10: The micro-control unit 36 controls the disconnection of the transmission shafts in the first motor 14 and the second motor 18. As an example, after receiving the signal to turn off the winch 10, the micro-control unit 36 controls the disconnection of the transmission shafts in the first motor 14 and the second motor 18;

[0143] S11: The domain controller 30 maintains the control states of the relevant components of the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and the battery temperature control module 20. As an example, if there is a cooling or heating requirement for the power battery 38 at this time, the control states of the in-vehicle air-conditioning module 12 and the battery temperature control module 20 remain unchanged.

The power battery 38 can be in the form of a battery pack, or other forms of power batteries 38.

[0151] It can be understood that the power battery 38 can supply the electric power required for the operation of the first motor 14 and the second motor 18.
