Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In existing professional work vehicle designs based on passenger buses, traditional air conditioning systems are typically used. The central air conditioning system delivers cool air to the passenger compartment through the top air duct to regulate the temperature of the passenger compartment.

[0003] In the original design of buses, equipment compartments (such as spaces converted from luggage compartments) were not considered areas requiring precise temperature control. Therefore, in most cases, the temperature in the equipment compartment fluctuates with the external ambient temperature, and there are no dedicated temperature regulation devices. For some specialized auxiliary equipment with strict operating temperature requirements, the lack of temperature control in the equipment compartment may prevent it from meeting the conditions for normal operation, limiting the selection and layout of the equipment. However, setting up dedicated heating or cooling components for temperature regulation in the equipment compartment would result in higher production costs.

[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this application is to provide a vehicle and a vehicle control method to solve the problem of high cost of temperature control in the equipment compartment of existing vehicles.

[0007] Furthermore, there are multiple first receiving chambers, each of which is connected to the first end of the air supply assembly. At least one first receiving chamber is connected to the return air vent of the air conditioning assembly. When the air supply assembly is in the first working state, part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly flows from the first receiving chamber through the first end of the air supply assembly to the first receiving chamber connected to the return air vent of the air conditioning assembly, and then flows to the return air vent of the air conditioning assembly. Another part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly flows through the first receiving chamber from the first end of the air supply assembly to the second end of the air supply assembly, and then flows into the second receiving chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, the air supply assembly includes: a return air duct, which is connected to each of the first accommodating chambers, and the return air duct is provided with an air supply outlet, which is connected to the second accommodating chamber; a centrifugal fan, which is located at the air supply outlet, and the centrifugal fan has a first working state and a second working state; wherein, when the air supply assembly is in the first working state, part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly flows from the first accommodating chamber through the return air duct to the first accommodating chamber connected to the return air outlet of the air conditioning assembly, and then flows to the return air outlet of the air conditioning assembly; another part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly flows from the first accommodating chamber through the return air duct to the air supply outlet, and then flows to the second accommodating chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the second containment compartment is provided with a ventilation grille, which has an open position for opening the second containment compartment and a closed position for closing the second containment compartment.

[0010] Furthermore, a first temperature sensor is installed in the first containment chamber to measure the temperature inside the first containment chamber, and a second temperature sensor is installed in the second containment chamber to measure the temperature inside the second containment chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, a heating component is provided inside the second containment chamber for heating the second containment chamber, and / or a circulating fan is provided inside the second containment chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, the return air duct is located between the first and second containment compartments.

[0013] Furthermore, the second compartment is located at the bottom of the vehicle body, or at the top of the vehicle body.

[0014] According to another aspect of this application, a vehicle control method is provided for controlling the aforementioned vehicle, comprising: acquiring temperature information of a target compartment, wherein the target compartment includes a first compartment and a second compartment, the first compartment being used to accommodate passengers and the second compartment being used to accommodate equipment; in response to the temperature information of the target compartment satisfying preset conditions, generating a target control strategy set, the target control strategy set being used to control target components to perform target actions, wherein the target components include an air conditioning component and an air supply component, and the target actions include at least one of the following: air supply operation, adjustment to a first working state, and adjustment to a second working state.

[0015] Furthermore, in response to the temperature information of the target compartment meeting preset conditions, a target control strategy set is generated, including: the target component includes a heating component, and the air supply component includes a centrifugal fan and a ventilation grille; in response to the temperature information of the first compartment meeting a first preset condition and the temperature information of the second compartment meeting a third preset condition, a first target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set, which is used to control the air conditioning component to perform air supply operation, and the centrifugal fan is adjusted to a first working state, and the ventilation grille is in the open position; in response to the temperature information of the first compartment meeting a second preset condition and the temperature information of the second compartment meeting a fourth preset condition, a second target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set, which is used to control the air conditioning component to perform air supply operation, and the centrifugal fan is adjusted... The system is set to a first operating state, with the ventilation grille in the closed position; or in response to the temperature information of the first compartment meeting a second preset condition and the temperature information of the second compartment meeting a fourth preset condition, a third target control strategy is generated from the target control strategy set. The first target control strategy is used to control the air conditioning components to perform air supply operations, and the centrifugal fan is adjusted to the second operating state, with the ventilation grille in the closed position and the heating components performing heating operations; or in response to the temperature information of the first compartment meeting the second preset condition and the temperature information of the second compartment meeting the fourth preset condition, a fourth target control strategy is generated from the target control strategy set. The fourth target control strategy is used to control the air conditioning components to perform air supply operations, and the centrifugal fan is adjusted to the first operating state, with the ventilation grille in the closed position and the heating components performing heating operations.

[0016] By applying the technical solution of this application, air is supplied to the second containment chamber through the first working state of the air supply component. This effectively utilizes the hot and cold airflow generated by the air conditioning component in the first containment chamber, avoids the equipment in the second containment chamber from being exposed to extreme temperature environments, makes full use of the existing air conditioning component, avoids the need to add independent temperature control equipment in the second containment chamber, reduces energy consumption and equipment costs, and thus solves the problem of high temperature control costs in the equipment compartment.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 In a specific embodiment of this application, a vehicle is provided.

[0033] Specifically, the vehicle includes a body 10, an air conditioning assembly 20, and an air supply assembly 30. The body 10 has a first accommodating compartment 11 and a second accommodating compartment 12. The first accommodating compartment 11 is used to accommodate passengers, and the second accommodating compartment 12 is used to accommodate equipment. The air conditioning assembly 20 is connected to the body 10, and the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly 20 is connected to the first accommodating compartment 11, and the air return vent of the air conditioning assembly 20 is also connected to the first accommodating compartment 11. The first end of the air supply assembly 30 is connected to the first accommodating compartment 11, and the second end of the air supply assembly 30 has a channel to the second accommodating compartment 12. The first working state of the air supply component 2, and the second working state of the air supply component 30 having a stop supplying air to the second accommodating chamber 12; wherein, when the air supply component 30 is in the first working state, part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning component 20 flows through the first accommodating chamber 11 and then flows to the return air outlet of the air conditioning component 20, and another part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning component 20 flows through the first accommodating chamber 11 from the first end of the air supply component 30 to the second end of the air supply component 30 and then flows into the second accommodating chamber 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, by supplying air to the second compartment 12 through the first operating state of the air supply assembly 30, the hot and cold airflow generated by the air conditioning assembly 20 in the first compartment 11 can be effectively utilized. This arrangement makes full use of the existing air conditioning assembly 20, avoiding the need to add a separate temperature control device in the second compartment 12, thus reducing energy consumption and equipment costs. This not only ensures that passengers in the first compartment 11 can enjoy a suitable temperature environment, but also ensures that the equipment in the second compartment 12 can operate within the optimal operating temperature range, improving the temperature uniformity and comfort of the entire vehicle. In addition, by controlling the different operating states of the air supply assembly 30, the airflow can be adjusted according to the actual temperature requirements of the second compartment 12, thereby preventing the equipment from being exposed to extreme temperature environments. Stable temperature control of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) helps reduce the probability of equipment damage caused by temperature fluctuations and extends the service life of the equipment. Since the air supply assembly 30 can completely stop supplying air to the second compartment 12 in the second working state, the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) and the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) can be completely isolated, effectively isolating the noise and odor that may be generated when the equipment is working, and improving the passenger's riding experience.

[0035] By applying the technical solution of this application, air is supplied to the second accommodating compartment 12 through the first working state of the air supply component 30. This effectively utilizes the hot and cold airflow generated by the air conditioning component 20 in the first accommodating compartment 11, preventing the equipment in the second accommodating compartment 12 from being exposed to extreme temperature environments. It fully utilizes the existing air conditioning component 20, avoids the need to add independent temperature control equipment in the second accommodating compartment 12, reduces energy consumption and equipment costs, and thus solves the problem of high temperature control costs in the second accommodating compartment 12 (equipment compartment). When the air supply component 30 is in the first working state, the airflow blown from the air outlet of the air conditioning component 20 is divided into two parts: one part is directly circulated back to the air conditioning component 20; the other part passes through the passenger compartment and is guided by the air supply component 30 to the equipment compartment. This path ensures that the equipment compartment can utilize the temperature environment of the passenger compartment for temperature regulation, while also ensuring that the temperature of the passenger compartment does not fluctuate significantly due to the temperature requirements of the equipment.

[0036] Furthermore, there are multiple first receiving chambers 11, each of which is connected to the first end of the air supply assembly 30. At least one first receiving chamber 11 is connected to the return air vent of the air conditioning assembly 20. When the air supply assembly 30 is in the first working state, part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly 20 flows from the first receiving chamber 11 through the first end of the air supply assembly 30 to the first receiving chamber 11 connected to the return air vent of the air conditioning assembly 20, and then flows to the return air vent of the air conditioning assembly 20. Another part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly 20 flows through the first receiving chamber 11 from the first end of the air supply assembly 30 to the second end of the air supply assembly 30, and then flows into the second receiving chamber 12.

[0037] In this embodiment, the design of multiple first-enclosure compartments 11, combined with a local airflow recirculation mechanism, promotes a uniform temperature distribution within each first-enclosure compartment 11. Even when there are many passengers or their distribution is uneven, the temperature comfort of each first-enclosure compartment 11 can be ensured. The partial airflow recirculation reduces the continuous high-intensity demand on the air conditioning components, avoiding excessive energy consumption. Especially when the temperature of the first-enclosure compartment 11 is close to the preset value, this circulation can effectively maintain the temperature without requiring frequent start-stop of the air conditioning components, thereby improving energy efficiency. When the air supply component is in its first operating state, it can quickly respond to changes in the temperature demand of the second-enclosure compartment 12, adjusting the air supply volume in a timely manner to ensure that the temperature of the second-enclosure compartment 12 quickly reaches the set conditions, achieving real-time temperature control.

[0038] Furthermore, the air supply assembly 30 includes a return air duct 31 and a centrifugal fan 32. The return air duct 31 is connected to each of the first accommodating chambers 11, and the return air duct 31 is provided with an air supply outlet, which is connected to the second accommodating chamber 12. The centrifugal fan 32 is located at the air supply outlet and has a first working state and a second working state. When the air supply assembly 30 is in the first working state, part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly 20 flows from the first accommodating chamber 11 through the return air duct 31 to the first accommodating chamber 11 connected to the return air outlet of the air conditioning assembly 20, and then flows to the return air outlet of the air conditioning assembly 20. Another part of the airflow blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioning assembly 20 flows from the first accommodating chamber 11 through the return air duct 31 to the air supply outlet, and then flows to the second accommodating chamber 12. The return air duct 31 connects the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) and the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). Its design guides airflow from the air outlet of the air conditioning unit 20 to the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment), with some air returning to the return air inlet of the air conditioning unit 20, while the remaining air enters the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) through the supply air inlet. A centrifugal fan 32 is located at the supply air inlet of the return air duct 31 and has a first operating state and a second operating state. The centrifugal fan 32 can switch between the two operating states to control the airflow rate and direction, achieving air circulation between the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) and the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). The operation of centrifugal fan 32 in the first operating state promotes the cooling or heating of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). When centrifugal fan 32 stops operating in the second operating state, it ensures complete isolation between the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) and the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment), preventing any noise, odor, or temperature fluctuations from the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) from affecting the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment). The intelligent control of centrifugal fan 32 helps optimize energy use, reduces energy consumption during air conditioning system operation, and improves energy efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, by controlling the dynamic operating state of the centrifugal fan 32 and guiding the airflow through the return air duct 31, the system can precisely control the temperature of the second containment compartment 12 (equipment compartment), ensuring it remains within a suitable operating range. Whether in cold winters or hot summers, this combination effectively provides the necessary temperature conditions, guaranteeing the normal operation of the equipment. The cooperation between the return air duct 31 and the centrifugal fan 32 not only solves the temperature control problem of the second containment compartment 12 (equipment compartment) and improves passenger comfort, but also achieves efficient energy utilization, enhancing the overall performance and flexibility of the system.

[0040] Furthermore, the second accommodating compartment 12 is provided with a ventilation grille 121, which has an open position for opening the second accommodating compartment 12 and a closed position for closing the second accommodating compartment 12.

[0041] The ventilation grille 121 has an open position and a closed position, providing a controllable interface for ventilation of the second housing 12 (equipment compartment). In the open position, the ventilation grille 121 allows airflow within the second housing 12 (equipment compartment) to the outside of the vehicle, which is crucial for temperature regulation within the second housing 12 (equipment compartment), especially in situations requiring rapid heat dissipation or the introduction of fresh air. In the closed position, the ventilation grille 121 effectively blocks airflow exchange, which is important for maintaining temperature stability within the second housing 12 (equipment compartment), sound insulation, and preventing external contaminants from entering the second housing 12 (equipment compartment), especially in situations where equipment requires specific environmental conditions or where the external environment is harsh.

[0042] By controlling the start and stop of the centrifugal fan 32 and coordinating the opening and closing of the ventilation grille 121, the system can flexibly adjust the ventilation and heat dissipation strategy of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) according to changes in the external environment or the real-time temperature requirements of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). For example, in hot weather, the centrifugal fan 32 can introduce cool air from the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment), while the ventilation grille 121 is opened to accelerate air circulation and quickly reduce the temperature of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment); in cold environments, the ventilation grille 121 can be closed, and the centrifugal fan 32 can introduce hot air from the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment), or heaters or other insulation measures can be used to keep the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) warm.

[0043] In summary, the synergistic effect between the return air duct 31, the centrifugal fan 32, and the ventilation grille 121 enables the system to manage the temperature and ventilation of the second containment compartment 12 (equipment compartment) more comprehensively, efficiently, and intelligently, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment, optimizing the passenger experience, and achieving the best performance of the professional work vehicle under various environmental conditions.

[0044] Furthermore, a first temperature sensor is installed in the first accommodating compartment 11 to measure the temperature inside the first accommodating compartment 11, and a second temperature sensor is installed in the second accommodating compartment 12 to measure the temperature inside the second accommodating compartment 12.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first temperature sensor, located within the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment), is fundamental to achieving precise temperature monitoring of the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment). By collecting real-time temperature data within the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment), the first temperature sensor provides crucial information to the control system, enabling the air conditioning component 20 to precisely adjust the volume of hot and cold air according to the actual temperature requirements of the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment), maintaining a comfortable internal environment. Furthermore, the first temperature sensor can also assist the system in adjusting the temperature of the airflow delivered to the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) when necessary, achieving optimal overall temperature control. The second temperature sensor, located in the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment), is responsible for measuring the real-time temperature within the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). This not only provides timely feedback on the temperature status of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment), ensuring that the equipment operates within a suitable temperature range and avoiding equipment malfunctions and safety hazards caused by abnormal temperatures, but also enables the centrifugal fan 32, ventilation grille 121, and circulating fan to automatically adjust their operating modes based on actual temperature data, achieving precise temperature control of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). The configuration of a second temperature sensor plays an important role in ensuring equipment safety and performance, and improving the overall energy efficiency of the system.

[0046] Real-time monitoring by sensors, combined with intelligent temperature control, not only optimizes the comfort of the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment), but also ensures that the equipment in the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) operates at a suitable temperature, improving the stability and service life of the equipment, and indirectly enhancing the passenger experience. Delays or inconveniences caused by equipment failures will be greatly reduced.

[0047] Furthermore, a heating assembly is provided inside the second accommodating compartment 12 for heating the second accommodating compartment 12.

[0048] The heating component is a key technical feature for coping with low-temperature environments. It can actively heat the second containment compartment 12 (equipment compartment) under frigid conditions, ensuring that the internal temperature of the second containment compartment 12 (equipment compartment) is sufficient to support the normal operation of the equipment. The operation of the heating component can prevent the risk of equipment startup failure, performance degradation, or damage due to excessively low temperatures. Furthermore, the heating component, in conjunction with a temperature sensor, can automatically adjust the heating power based on the real-time temperature inside the second containment compartment 12 (equipment compartment), ensuring stable temperature control and avoiding energy waste caused by overheating, thus improving the overall efficiency and economy of the system.

[0049] By precisely monitoring the temperatures of the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) and the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment), the system can make more rational use of existing air conditioning resources and avoid unnecessary energy consumption. For example, when the temperature in the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) is moderate, the system can prioritize using the "waste" heat or cold air from the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) to regulate the temperature of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment), reducing the number of times independent heating or cooling equipment is started, thereby achieving effective energy management and conservation.

[0050] Furthermore, a circulating fan is installed within the second housing compartment 12. The circulating fan is designed to promote uniform airflow within the second housing compartment 12 (equipment compartment), ensuring a balanced temperature distribution throughout the compartment. By continuously agitating the air within the compartment, the circulating fan accelerates the heat exchange process, preventing localized overheating or overcooling, which is crucial for maintaining the normal operating temperature of the equipment. In addition, the circulating fan plays a key role in temperature control within the second housing compartment 12 (equipment compartment), operating synchronously with the centrifugal fan 32 and ventilation grille 121 to further enhance the efficiency and accuracy of temperature regulation.

[0051] In this embodiment, the introduction of the circulating fan significantly improves the temperature uniformity within the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber). Even after the centrifugal fan 32 delivers cold or hot air into the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber), the circulating fan ensures that the airflow is evenly distributed throughout the chamber, avoiding the risk of equipment damage due to localized excessively high or low temperatures. Furthermore, the circulating fan makes the system more flexible in handling different operating scenarios. For example, when rapid cooling of the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber) is required, both the centrifugal fan 32 and the circulating fan can be activated simultaneously to form an efficient cooling cycle; while for insulation needs, the fan speed can be adjusted to work in conjunction with the heater to maintain a constant temperature environment within the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber).

[0052] Furthermore, the return air duct 31 is located between the first accommodating chamber 11 and the second accommodating chamber 12.

[0053] The return air duct 31, located between the two compartments, efficiently introduces the remaining hot or cold air from the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) after temperature regulation into the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). With the assistance of a circulating fan and heating components, it facilitates rapid temperature adjustment and even distribution within the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). This direct heat transfer method significantly improves temperature control efficiency and shortens the time required to reach the set temperature compared to indirect heating or cooling. The ingenious layout of the return air duct 31 reduces the space occupied by the air conditioning system within the vehicle, improving space utilization efficiency. This integrated design not only simplifies the vehicle's internal structure and reduces production and maintenance costs but also provides more space for the installation of other equipment, enhancing the vehicle's functionality and overall layout flexibility.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in one specific embodiment of this application, the second storage compartment 12 is located at the bottom of the vehicle body 10. Positioning the second storage compartment 12 (equipment compartment) at the bottom of the vehicle body effectively utilizes the existing luggage compartment space of the bus without occupying additional upper vehicle space, thus maintaining the spaciousness and comfort of the vehicle's interior. Furthermore, the relatively concealed bottom location helps reduce visual interference from the equipment inside the second storage compartment 12 (equipment compartment) to passengers, improving the riding experience. From a temperature control perspective, the bottom location, being closer to the ground, generally experiences more stable temperatures, providing favorable conditions for temperature management of the second storage compartment 12 (equipment compartment), especially in mild environments where excessive heating or cooling is not required.

[0055] In another specific embodiment of this application, the second housing 12 is located on top of the vehicle body 10. In some vehicle models (e.g., motorhomes), placing the second housing 12 on the top of the vehicle body allows for full utilization of the upper space, making it particularly suitable for specialized equipment requiring ample layout space. The top location, being away from the ground, helps reduce the impact of ground heat on the second housing 12 (equipment compartment), especially in high-temperature summer conditions, aiding in natural cooling of the second housing 12 (equipment compartment). Simultaneously, the top location facilitates equipment installation and maintenance, minimizing the impact on the vehicle's interior layout.

[0056] Furthermore, the vehicle includes a control module and a control panel. The control module is electrically connected to the control panel, and also electrically connected to the air conditioning component 20, the air supply component 30, the heating component, the first temperature sensor, and the second temperature sensor. The first and second temperature sensors transmit the measured temperature information to the control module. Based on the sensor data, the control module automatically adjusts the operating status of the air conditioning component 20, the air supply component 30, and the heating component, enabling automated and intelligent management of the temperature in the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). This not only improves the accuracy of temperature regulation and reduces manual intervention, but also allows for flexible adjustments based on changes in the external environment and equipment operating requirements, ensuring that the temperature inside the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) is always within the optimal operating range, thus improving the stability and lifespan of the equipment. The introduction of the control panel makes the temperature control process intuitive and operable. Users can easily set the temperature target for the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment), monitor the system's operating status, and even make emergency adjustments through the control panel, improving the system's availability and safety. In complex operating scenarios, the control panel provides a means to quickly respond to temperature changes, which is crucial for ensuring the smooth operation of the work.

[0057] In another embodiment of this application, a vehicle control method is also provided for controlling the vehicle in the above embodiments, comprising the following steps:

[0058] Step S102: Obtain the temperature information of the target accommodation cabin, wherein the target accommodation cabin includes a first accommodation cabin and a second accommodation cabin, the first accommodation cabin is used to accommodate passengers, and the second accommodation cabin is used to accommodate equipment;

[0059] Step S104: In response to the temperature information of the target containment chamber meeting the preset conditions, a target control strategy set is generated. The target control strategy set is used to control the target components to perform target actions. The target components include: an air conditioning component and an air supply component. The target actions include at least one of the following: air supply operation, adjustment to a first working state, and adjustment to a second working state.

[0060] In step S102, temperature information of the target compartment is acquired. This process relies on real-time temperature data collected by the first and second temperature sensors. The target compartment includes a first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) and a second compartment 12 (equipment compartment), which are used for passenger comfort and the operation of specialized equipment, respectively. Acquiring temperature information is the foundation for formulating temperature control strategies, ensuring the real-time nature and accuracy of temperature management.

[0061] In step S104, a target control strategy set is generated in response to the target compartment's temperature information meeting preset conditions. The preset conditions include upper and lower temperature limits, temperature difference, and temperature rise rate, specifically depending on the operating temperature requirements of the equipment in the second compartment (equipment compartment) and the comfort standards of the first compartment (occupant compartment). The target control strategy set contains control commands for the target components (air conditioning components and air supply components), which guide the components to perform air supply operations, adjust to a first operating state, or adjust to a second operating state. The air supply operation involves the air conditioning component 20 (in cooling and heating modes) supplying air to the first compartment 11 (occupant compartment). In the first operating state, the first compartment 11 (occupant compartment) supplies air to the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment). In the first operating state, the first compartment 11 (occupant compartment) stops supplying air to the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment).

[0062] Through steps S102 to S104, the vehicle can dynamically adjust the working mode of the air conditioning components and the air supply components according to whether the temperature information meets the preset conditions. Whether it is increasing the flow of cold air, adjusting the power of the heater, or changing the wind speed of the centrifugal fan 32, it can be adjusted in real time according to the current temperature requirements to keep the temperature of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) and the first compartment 11 (occupant compartment) within the set range.

[0063] Optionally, in response to the temperature information of the target containment chamber meeting preset conditions, a target control strategy set is generated, including: the target component includes a heating component, and the air supply component includes a centrifugal fan and a ventilation grille;

[0064] Step S201: In response to the temperature information of the first containment chamber meeting the first preset condition and the temperature information of the second containment chamber meeting the third preset condition, a first target control strategy in the target control strategy set is generated. The first target control strategy is used to control the air conditioning component to perform air supply operation, and the centrifugal fan is adjusted to the first working state, and the ventilation grille is in the open position.

[0065] Step S202: In response to the temperature information of the first containment chamber meeting the second preset condition and the temperature information of the second containment chamber meeting the fourth preset condition, a second target control strategy is generated in the target control strategy set. The second target control strategy is used to control the air conditioning component to perform air supply operation, and the centrifugal fan is adjusted to the first working state, and the ventilation grille is in the closed position.

[0066] Step S203: In response to the temperature information of the first containment chamber meeting the second preset condition and the temperature information of the second containment chamber meeting the fourth preset condition, a third target control strategy in the target control strategy set is generated. The first target control strategy is used to control the air conditioning component to perform air supply operation, and the centrifugal fan is adjusted to the second working state, the ventilation grille is in the closed position, and the heating component performs heating operation.

[0067] In step S204, in response to the temperature information of the first containment chamber meeting the second preset condition and the temperature information of the second containment chamber meeting the fourth preset condition, a fourth target control strategy in the target control strategy set is generated. The fourth target control strategy is used to control the air conditioning component to perform air supply operation, the centrifugal fan to be adjusted to the first working state, the ventilation grille to be in the closed position, and the heating component to perform heating operation.

[0068] In step S201, when the temperature of the first containment chamber 11 reaches or exceeds a certain threshold (first preset condition), and the temperature of the second containment chamber 12 also reaches or exceeds the maximum temperature required for normal operation of the equipment (third preset condition), a first target control strategy is generated. This strategy controls the air conditioning component 20 to start air supply to cool down the equipment, and adjusts the centrifugal fan 32 to a first working state, so as to deliver the cold air generated by the air conditioning component 20 in the first containment chamber 11 to the second containment chamber 12, while keeping the ventilation grille in the open position so that air can flow from the second containment chamber 12 to the outside, thereby achieving effective heat dissipation.

[0069] In step S202, if the temperature of the first containment chamber 11 is lower than a suitable comfort range (second preset condition), and the temperature of the second containment chamber 12 is lower than the minimum temperature for normal operation of the equipment (fourth preset condition), a second target control strategy is generated. This strategy controls the air conditioning unit 20 to perform air supply operations and adjusts the centrifugal fan 32 to a first operating state. This allows the hot air generated by the air conditioning unit in the first containment chamber 11 to be delivered to the second containment chamber 12. Simultaneously, the ventilation grille is closed to prevent further impact from cold outside air on the temperature inside the second containment chamber 12. At this time, only the air conditioning unit 20 generates hot air, which is then delivered to the second containment chamber 12 for heating via the air supply unit.

[0070] In step S203, if the temperature of the first containment chamber 11 is lower than a suitable comfort range (second preset condition), and the temperature of the second containment chamber 12 is lower than the minimum temperature for normal equipment operation (fourth preset condition), a second target control strategy is generated. This strategy controls the air conditioning unit 20 to supply air, adjusts the centrifugal fan 32 to a second operating state, and the heating unit begins heating the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber) while keeping the ventilation grille closed to reduce heat loss and ensure the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber) quickly heats up to a safe operating temperature. At this point, heating of the second containment chamber 12 relies solely on the heating unit.

[0071] In step S204, if the temperature of the first containment chamber 11 is lower than the suitable comfort range (second preset condition) and the temperature of the second containment chamber 12 is lower than the minimum temperature for normal operation of the equipment (fourth preset condition), a second target control strategy is generated to control the air conditioning component 20 to perform air supply operation and adjust the centrifugal fan 32 to the first working state, so as to deliver the hot air generated by the air conditioning component 20 in the first containment chamber 11 to the second containment chamber 12. The ventilation grille is kept closed, and the heating component continues to heat the equipment, thereby enhancing the heating effect of the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber) to cope with the extreme cold environment and ensure that the equipment can quickly return to the normal operating temperature.

[0072] Steps S202, S203, and S204 can be selected according to specific circumstances.

[0073] Through steps S201 to S204, the system can precisely control the temperature of the second compartment 12 (equipment compartment) and the first compartment 11 (passenger compartment) by dynamically adjusting the working status of the air conditioning component 20, centrifugal fan 32, and heating component according to different environments and needs. This maintains the temperature within a preset comfort and equipment operating temperature range, improving the passenger experience and the stability of equipment operation. Furthermore, the system can optimize energy utilization and avoid unnecessary energy consumption (such as prioritizing step S202 when heating is required). Especially when the temperature is close to the preset value, it effectively saves energy through intermittent operation or fine-tuning the working mode.

[0074] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects:

[0075] 1) Intelligent control of air circulation and distribution is realized between the first accommodating compartment 11 and the second accommodating compartment 12. It can automatically adjust the working status of the air conditioner, centrifugal fan 32 and heating components according to real-time temperature information and preset conditions to ensure that the first accommodating compartment 11 (passenger compartment) is always kept within a comfortable temperature range. At the same time, the temperature of the second accommodating compartment 12 (equipment compartment) can also be precisely controlled to meet the specific temperature requirements of the equipment.

[0076] 2) The temperature control system achieves intelligent control through the control module, which can automatically respond to environmental changes, generate and execute the optimal control strategy, reduce human intervention, and improve the stability and reliability of system operation.

[0077] 3) Through intelligent control of the heating components and centrifugal fan 32 of the second containment chamber 12, the system can effectively isolate the odor volatilization and noise of the equipment in the second containment chamber 12 from the first containment chamber 11, maintain the air quality in the first containment chamber 11, and at the same time, the use of the heating components also ensures the safe operation of the second containment chamber 12 (equipment chamber) in a low temperature environment, and avoids damage to the equipment due to excessively low temperature.
