[0065] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0066] Reference Figure 1This document illustrates a flowchart of an embodiment of a camera defrosting system control method according to this application. The camera defrosting system includes a thermoelectric element assembly located at the outer edge of the camera lens; a heating element located at the inner edge of the camera lens; a heat dissipation structure layer located between the thermoelectric element assembly and the heating element; a sensor assembly located at the edge of the camera lens; and an energy storage and control component connected to the thermoelectric element assembly and the heating element. The operating heat of the energy storage and control component is transferred to the thermoelectric element assembly through the heat dissipation structure layer.

The thermoelectric element assembly is used to convert the operating heat to charge the energy storage and control component. In this embodiment, the camera defrosting system may include a thermoelectric element assembly, a heating element assembly, a heat dissipation structure layer, a sensor assembly, and an energy storage and control component. The thermoelectric element assembly can be located at the outer edge of the camera lens and converts ambient heat into electrical energy at low temperatures. The heating element is located at the inner edge of the camera lens and can generate heat during operation, thereby heating the camera lens and achieving the defrosting function. A heat dissipation structure layer can be installed between the thermoelectric element and the heating element. The operating heat of the energy storage and control components is transferred to the thermoelectric element through this heat dissipation structure layer, allowing for recharging using waste heat. When the heating element is heating up, to prevent heat dissipation and concentrate heating of the camera glass, the heat dissipation structure layer isolates the heating element from the thermoelectric element. Both the thermoelectric element and the heating element can be connected to the energy storage and control components. The sensor component can be located at the edge of the camera lens for easy detection of the external environment. After the device is powered on, the sensor component can detect the external environment and generate environmental parameters. These environmental parameters characterize the external environment of the device.

[0067] The camera defrosting system control method may specifically include the following steps:

[0068] Step 101: Obtain the environmental parameters detected by the sensor assembly;

[0069] The environmental parameters detected by the sensor components can be obtained first, and the external environment can be determined based on the environmental parameters.

[0070] Step 102: Determine the dynamic defrosting threshold based on the environmental parameters;

[0071] Based on environmental parameters, the scene is determined, and the corresponding dynamic defrost threshold is established. This dynamic defrost threshold characterizes the critical state of frost formation. When the external environment reaches the dynamic defrost threshold, it indicates a risk of frost formation.

[0072] Step 103: Determine the target power regulation coefficient based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control component and the operating state of the thermoelectric component;

[0073] Then, based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control components and the operating status of the thermoelectric components, the energy dispatch situation is determined, and the achievable target power regulation coefficient is determined. The target power regulation coefficient is the power state in which the power generation components can operate.

[0074] Step 104: Control the heating component and the energy storage and control component based on the target power regulation coefficient, the dynamic defrosting threshold and the environmental parameters.

[0075] Defrosting is performed on the heating components and energy storage and control components based on the target power regulation coefficient, dynamic defrosting threshold and environmental parameters.

[0076] The camera defrosting system of this application embodiment includes a thermoelectric element assembly, a heating element assembly, a heat dissipation structure layer, a sensor assembly, and an energy storage and control assembly. The operating heat of the energy storage and control assembly is transferred to the thermoelectric element assembly through the heat dissipation structure layer. The heat dissipation structure layer is used to isolate the heating element assembly and the thermoelectric element assembly when the heating element generates heat. The thermoelectric element assembly is used to convert the operating heat to charge the energy storage and control assembly. The system acquires environmental parameters detected by the sensor assembly. A dynamic defrosting threshold is determined based on the environmental parameters. A target power adjustment coefficient is determined based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control assembly and the operating state of the thermoelectric element assembly. The heating element assembly and the energy storage and control assembly are controlled based on the target power adjustment coefficient, the dynamic defrosting threshold, and the environmental parameters. By recovering energy from ambient temperature differences through thermoelectric components, storing this energy in energy storage and control components, and then using these components to power the heating components, the vehicle eliminates the need for an external power source or battery. This simplifies the vehicle's wiring and internal structure. A heat dissipation structure layer switches between states during power generation and heating, facilitating both heat conduction for charging and heat insulation for defrosting the heating components. This reduces heat loss, lowers system energy consumption, and improves driving range. Defrosting is performed by determining a dynamic defrosting threshold based on environmental parameters, and a target power regulation coefficient is determined based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control components and the operating status of the thermoelectric components. This target power regulation coefficient controls the heating of the heating components, adapting to complex environments and improving defrosting efficiency.

[0077] Reference Figure 2This diagram illustrates a flowchart of another embodiment of a camera defrosting system control method according to this application. The camera defrosting system includes a thermoelectric element assembly located at the outer edge of the camera lens; a heating element located at the inner edge of the camera lens; a heat dissipation structure layer located between the thermoelectric element assembly and the heating element; a sensor assembly located at the edge of the camera lens; and an energy storage and control component connected to the thermoelectric element assembly and the heating element. The operating heat of the energy storage and control component is transferred to the thermoelectric element assembly through the heat dissipation structure layer. The heat dissipation structure layer is used to isolate the heating element assembly and the thermoelectric element assembly when the heating element heats up. The thermoelectric element assembly is used to convert the operating heat to charge the energy storage and control component.

[0078] In this embodiment, the camera defrosting system may include a thermoelectric element assembly, a heat-generating component, a heat dissipation structure layer, a sensor assembly, and an energy storage and control component. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 The right side is the camera lens; a cross-section along its radius yields the following results. Figure 3 Left side. Figure 3The top is the outer side, and the bottom is the inner side. A thermoelectric element assembly 200 is embedded in a groove on the outer edge of the camera lens 100. The upper part of the thermoelectric element assembly 200 is the hot end, and the lower part is the cold end. Below the cold end is a nanoporous heat dissipation structure layer 400. Various sensors (ambient temperature sensor, humidity sensor, wind speed sensor, light sensor, etc.) are attached to the outer edge of the lens. A heat-generating component 300 is located on the inner edge of the camera lens 100, and below that is an energy storage and control component 600. Specifically, the camera defrosting system can be divided into a four-layer architecture. The first layer consists of the camera lens 100, the thermoelectric element assembly 200, and the sensor assembly 500. The camera lens 100 can be made of borosilicate glass with a refractive index of 1.5-1.6, with a pre-reserved annular groove (0.3mm deep, 1mm wide) on its edge. The thermoelectric element assembly 200 can be a flexible silicon-germanium thermoelectric element used for power generation or auxiliary heat dissipation. The flexible silicon-germanium thermoelectric element is a flexible silicon-germanium (Si-Ge) alloy thin film with a thickness of 50-100 μm, embedded in the edge groove of the lens. N-type / P-type semiconductor thermocouples are connected in series to form a ring structure. The thermoelectric element assembly 200 includes a hot end and a cold end. The hot end is exposed to the external environment and absorbs ambient heat at low temperatures (if the external temperature is lower than the temperature of the energy storage and control component 600, thermoelectric power generation occurs). The cold end is isolated from the heating area inside the lens by a heat dissipation structure layer 400 to prevent the temperature difference from disappearing during heating. The sensor assembly 500 may include an ambient temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a wind speed sensor, and a light sensor. These sensors can be directly attached to the non-imaging area on the outer edge of the optical surface of the camera lens 100. The sensor probe can be 0.5 mm away from the lens surface, directly contacting the ambient air for real-time monitoring. To further improve accuracy, an integrated capacitive frost detection electrode can be used, attached to the lens surface, to directly determine the frost state through changes in dielectric constant. The second layer is the heat dissipation structure layer 400, which can be a nanoporous heat dissipation structure layer 400. Made of alumina (Al2O3) or graphene aerogel, with a pore size of 50-200 nm and a thickness of 0.5-1 mm, it can be closely attached to the cold end of the thermoelectric element 200, covering the entire edge area of ​​the lens, forming an efficient heat conduction path. A micro-electromagnetic valve array is integrated beneath the nanoporous material. In normal mode, the heat dissipation holes (100 μm in diameter) are opened to accelerate heat dissipation from the cold end; in defrost mode, the heat dissipation holes are closed to form a heat insulation layer, reducing heat loss from the heating film 320. The third layer is the heating element 300, which may include the heating film 320 and thermal paste 310. The heating film 320 is a flexible platinum resistance heating film 320 (50 μm thick, 50-150 mW / cm²) bonded to the inner edge area of ​​the camera lens 100. 2The heating film 320 electrode is coaxially distributed with the upper flexible silicon-germanium alloy thermoelectric element. The electrode of the heating film 320 can be connected to a bidirectional DC-DC converter via a flexible FPC (flexible printed circuit) to receive power from the energy storage and control component 600 or the thermoelectric module, supporting 3.3V / 5V output to adapt to different power requirements (maximum 1W during defrosting, 0.2W during preheating). The thermoelectric element is embedded on the outer edge of the lens, and the heating film 320 covers the inner edge of the lens; the two form a heat conduction path through the lens glass. A nano-silver thermal paste 310 (thermal conductivity ≥15W / mK) is applied between the lens and the heating film 320. This high thermal conductivity and insulation enhance the thermal coupling between the lens and the heating film 320, ensuring uniform heat transfer to the lens surface during heating. The fourth layer is the energy storage and control component 600, which may include a control system, an energy storage unit, and a machine learning dynamic threshold module. The control system includes a micro-MCU (electronic control unit) integrating a bidirectional DC-DC converter and MOSFET (field-effect transistor) drive circuit, supporting PWM (duty cycle) regulation and bidirectional energy flow. It processes sensor signals and dynamically adjusts the number of thermocouple series stages, the 320W heating film power, and the nanoporous material solenoid valve array switch to achieve energy-saving defrosting. The micro-MCU transfers waste heat to the 200W hot end of the thermoelectric element assembly via thermally conductive silicone, ensuring a stable temperature difference source. The energy storage unit can store the thermoelectric module's electrical energy through a supercapacitor (2F / 5.5V) connected in parallel with a lithium battery (3.7V / 500mAh), supporting peak current (200mA) output in defrost mode. A machine learning dynamic threshold module can collect real-time data such as humidity (RH), lens temperature (T_s), ambient temperature (T_env), main control chip temperature (T_chip), frosting frequency, historical defrosting energy consumption, and energy storage unit charge (SOC), forming a spatiotemporal feature dataset (timestamp + multi-dimensional sensor signals). This dataset is processed using a lightweight model engine embedded in the micro-MCU. The lightweight model engine can integrate time-series models based on Random Forest / Gradient Boosting Tree (GBDT) or LSTM, dynamically outputting frost / defrost thresholds through offline training (historical frost / defrost data) + online fine-tuning (real-time incremental learning). Its threshold output interface provides the MCU with real-time optimized parameters such as the frost trigger threshold (T_s*, RH*), defrost target temperature (T_target), power adjustment coefficient (α), and mode switching conditions (T_recov, RH_recov).

[0079] In the non-frost operating mode: the thermoelectric element 200 generates electricity, which is then rectified, boosted, and stored to power the low-power circuitry of the camera. In the triggered defrost mode, the energy storage unit releases electrical energy, which is then stepped down by DC-DC to the voltage of the heating film 320, such as 3.3V / 5V, and then drives the heating film 320 to heat up. At the same time, if there is a temperature difference (such as the main control chip temperature > 0℃), the thermoelectric element 200 continues to generate electricity to replenish the stored energy, reducing battery consumption.

[0080] The camera defrosting system control method may specifically include the following steps:

[0081] Step 201: Obtain the environmental parameters detected by the sensor assembly;

[0082] It can acquire the environmental parameters detected by each sensor.

[0083] In an optional embodiment of this application, the sensor assembly includes: an ambient temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a wind speed sensor, and a light sensor; the step of acquiring the environmental parameters detected by the sensor assembly includes: acquiring the ambient temperature detected by the ambient temperature sensor; acquiring the ambient humidity detected by the humidity sensor; acquiring the wind speed detected by the wind speed sensor; acquiring the light intensity detected by the light sensor; and determining the ambient temperature, the ambient humidity, the wind speed, and the light intensity as environmental parameters.

[0084] In this embodiment, an ambient temperature sensor detects the temperature of the external environment to generate an ambient temperature reading. A humidity sensor detects the relative humidity of the external environment to generate an ambient humidity reading. A wind speed sensor detects the wind speed of the external environment; and a light sensor detects the light conditions of the external environment to generate a light intensity reading. By using ambient temperature, ambient humidity, wind speed, and light intensity as environmental parameters, defrosting can be detected and controlled from multiple dimensions, avoiding the need to rely solely on temperature control and ensuring effective defrosting.

[0085] Step 202: Determine the dynamic defrosting threshold based on the environmental parameters;

[0086] Based on environmental parameters, the external environment is determined, and the corresponding dynamic defrosting threshold is determined.

[0087] In an optional embodiment of this application, the step of determining the dynamic defrosting threshold based on the environmental parameters includes:

[0088] Sub-step S2021: Combine the ambient temperature, ambient humidity, wind speed and light intensity to generate multi-dimensional features;

[0089] Features from ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light intensity can be combined to generate multidimensional features with four dimensions: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light intensity.

[0090] Sub-step S2022: Determine the dynamic defrosting threshold corresponding to the multidimensional feature.

[0091] Determine the dynamic defrosting threshold corresponding to this multidimensional feature.

[0092] Determining the dynamic defrosting threshold can be handled using an ensemble model. This model can be constructed using density clustering, probability thresholding with random forests, GBDT (Gradient Boosting Decision Tree), or LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory). By inputting ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light intensity into the model, it uses environmental parameters and historical data to calculate and determine the dynamic defrosting threshold.

[0093] Step 203: Determine the target power regulation coefficient based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control component and the operating state of the thermoelectric component;

[0094] The current available energy is determined by the state of charge of the energy storage and control components, the heating status is determined by the operating status of the thermoelectric components, and the target power regulation coefficient is determined based on the heating status and the available energy status.

[0095] In an optional embodiment of this application, the step of determining the target power regulation coefficient based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control component and the operating state of the thermoelectric component includes:

[0096] Sub-step S2041: Determine the energy consumption state based on the changing trend of the state of charge of the energy storage and control components;

[0097] By analyzing the historical changes in the state of charge (SBC) of energy storage and control components, the trend of SBC changes can be determined. This trend in SBC allows for the prediction of energy changes within the energy storage and control components, thus determining their energy consumption status.

[0098] Sub-step S2042: Determine the base power regulation coefficient based on the state of charge and the energy consumption state;

[0099] Then, by analyzing the current state of charge and energy consumption of the energy storage and control components, the output power is determined, and thus the base power regulation coefficient is determined. The base power regulation coefficient characterizes...

[0100] Sub-step S2043: Determine the additional coefficient based on the operating status of the thermoelectric element assembly;

[0101] Based on the current operating status of the hot spot component, identify the current operating condition and determine the corresponding additional system.

[0102] Sub-step S2044: Determine the control power adjustment coefficient by combining the basic power adjustment coefficient and the additional coefficient;

[0103] An additional coefficient is added to the basic power regulation coefficient, such as adding an additional coefficient to the basic power regulation coefficient to determine the control power regulation coefficient. The control power regulation coefficient is the power regulation system after the basic power regulation coefficient has been corrected by the additional coefficient.

[0104] Sub-step S2045: Determine the extreme power adjustment coefficient based on the energy consumption state;

[0105] Then, based on the current energy consumption state, the extreme power regulation coefficient that can sustain long-term operation is determined. The extreme power regulation coefficient characterizes the power regulation coefficient that can be achieved under optimal battery life.

[0106] Sub-step S2046: Determine the smaller of the control power adjustment coefficient and the extreme power adjustment coefficient as the target power adjustment coefficient.

[0107] The control power adjustment coefficient and the extreme power adjustment coefficient are compared, and the smaller value between the extreme power adjustment coefficient and the control power adjustment coefficient is determined by methods such as difference, ratio, and number line method. This smaller value is then used as the target power adjustment coefficient.

[0108] For example, the relationship for determining the target power regulation coefficient can be shown in the following table:

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] Table 1

[0112] For the parameters in Table 1, historical energy consumption is calculated as follows: The average power of the heating film over the past 24 hours is used as a benchmark, and compared with the equipment's rated power threshold to classify levels (e.g., the threshold can be set to 70% of the equipment's maximum power consumption). 2. Priority logic: When SOC < 20%, historical energy consumption does not participate in regulation, and the minimum power is forced (to ensure safety). When ΔT > 20℃, an additional 0.1 (not exceeding 1.2) is added to the base α calculated based on SOC + historical energy consumption. In historical high energy consumption states (≥ 1.5 times the threshold), even if SOC is sufficient, α does not exceed 1.0. 3. Dynamic balance: Historical energy consumption is used to avoid frequent high-power operation leading to overload of the energy storage unit, or low-power operation leading to insufficient defrosting efficiency.

[0113] Furthermore, the heating element can be formed by connecting thermocouples in series, and the corresponding number of thermocouple series stages can be determined under different power and requirements, thereby enabling more precise control.

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] Table 2

[0117] For the parameters in Table 2, N is 10%-20% of the preset base level (which can be fine-tuned according to hardware parameters). For example, when the base level is 20, it can be increased by 2-4 levels for high temperature and decreased by 2-4 levels for low temperature. The adjustment frequency needs to be combined with the real-time temperature fluctuation range (e.g., infrequent adjustments within ±5℃ to avoid hardware wear and tear).

[0118] Step 204: Control the heating component and the energy storage and control component based on the target power regulation coefficient, the dynamic defrosting threshold and the environmental parameters;

[0119] The current frost condition is determined by the target power regulation coefficient, dynamic defrost threshold, and environmental parameters, and then the heating components and energy storage and control components are controlled to work to achieve the defrosting function.

[0120] In an optional embodiment of this application, the step of controlling the heating component and the energy storage and control component based on the target power regulation coefficient, the dynamic defrost threshold, and the environmental parameters includes:

[0121] Sub-step S2041: Based on the target power regulation coefficient, control the energy storage and control component to supply energy to the heating component;

[0122] The output of the energy storage unit in the energy storage and control component can be controlled by using the target power regulation coefficient, thereby controlling the energy storage and control component to supply energy to the heating component.

[0123] Sub-step S2042: Control the heating component to generate heat based on the dynamic defrost threshold and the environmental parameters.

[0124] Powered by the energy storage unit in the energy storage and control component, the heating component uses dynamic defrost threshold and environmental parameters to control the heating component in real time to heat the lens glass.

[0125] In an optional embodiment of this application, the step of controlling the heating element's heating based on the dynamic defrost threshold and the environmental parameters includes:

[0126] Sub-step S20421: Determine the target heating time based on the difference between the dynamic defrost threshold and the environmental parameters;

[0127] For the heating control process, the difference between the dynamic defrost threshold and the environmental parameters can be calculated first. The state of frost can be identified by the difference, and the target heating time can be determined.

[0128] In one example of this application, the step of determining the target heating time based on the difference between the dynamic defrost threshold and the environmental parameter includes: determining the difference between the dynamic defrost threshold and the environmental parameter, and determining a defrost reference temperature; determining a reference heating time to heat to the defrost reference temperature; determining a first adjustable heating time based on the magnitude of the reference heating time; determining a second adjustable heating time based on the reference heating time and the ambient temperature; and determining the target heating time by combining the reference heating time, the first adjustable heating time, and the second adjustable heating time.

[0129] To determine the target heating time, the difference between the dynamic defrost threshold and environmental parameters can be determined to establish a defrost reference temperature. This reference temperature represents the minimum temperature the camera lens needs to reach during defrosting. The time required to heat from the current temperature to the reference temperature is then determined, i.e., the reference heating time. A first adjustable heating time is then determined based on the reference heating time. This first adjustable heating time represents a correction value for the time required to heat to the reference temperature. Based on the reference heating time and ambient temperature, the heat loss is determined, and a second adjustable heating time is determined to compensate for the environmental losses. Finally, the reference heating time, the first adjustable heating time, and the second adjustable heating time are combined to determine the target heating time.

[0130] In one example of this application, the step of determining the target heating duration based on the difference between the dynamic defrosting threshold and the environmental parameters further includes: obtaining weather forecast information; determining a third adjustable heating duration based on the weather forecast information; and determining the target heating duration by combining the baseline heating duration, the first adjustable heating duration, the second adjustable heating duration, and the third adjustable duration.

[0131] Further processing can involve obtaining weather forecast information. The weather forecast information is used to determine the future temperature and humidity trends, and then to determine the duration that needs to be adjusted, i.e., the third adjustment heating duration. Finally, the baseline heating duration, the first adjustment heating duration, the second adjustment duration, and the third adjustment heating duration are combined to determine the target heating duration.

[0132] Sub-step S20422: Control the heating component to operate for the specified heating duration.

[0133] The heating element is powered by energy from the energy storage and control components. The heating process starts from the moment the heating begins and ends when the required heating time is reached.

[0134] Step 205: When the environmental parameters meet the preset charging conditions, control the thermoelectric element assembly to operate.

[0135] When environmental parameters meet the preset charging conditions, the thermoelectric component can be controlled to operate, and heat can be converted into electrical energy, which can then power the heating component, sensor component, and energy storage and control component.

[0136] The preset charging conditions include, but are not limited to, the external temperature being higher than a preset value and the heat generated by the energy storage and control components being greater than the external ambient temperature.

[0137] This application embodiment utilizes a camera-based defrosting system comprising a thermoelectric element assembly, a heating element, a heat dissipation structure layer, a sensor assembly, and an energy storage and control assembly. The operating heat of the energy storage and control assembly is transferred to the thermoelectric element assembly through the heat dissipation structure layer. The heat dissipation structure layer isolates the heating element and the thermoelectric element assembly when the heating element is heating. The thermoelectric element assembly converts operating heat to charge the energy storage and control assembly. Environmental parameters detected by the sensor assembly are acquired. A dynamic defrosting threshold is determined based on the environmental parameters. A target power adjustment coefficient is determined based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control assembly and the operating state of the thermoelectric element assembly. The heating element and the energy storage and control assembly are controlled based on the target power adjustment coefficient, the dynamic defrosting threshold, and the environmental parameters. When the environmental parameters meet preset charging conditions, the thermoelectric element assembly is controlled to operate. By recovering energy from ambient temperature differences through thermoelectric components, storing this energy in energy storage and control components, and then using these components to power the heating components, the vehicle eliminates the need for an external power source or battery. This simplifies the vehicle's wiring and internal structure. A heat dissipation structure layer switches between states during power generation and heating, facilitating both heat conduction for charging and heat insulation for defrosting the heating components. This reduces heat loss, lowers system energy consumption, and improves driving range. Defrosting is performed by determining a dynamic defrosting threshold based on environmental parameters, and a target power regulation coefficient is determined based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control components and the operating status of the thermoelectric components. This target power regulation coefficient controls the heating of the heating components, adapting to complex environments and improving defrosting efficiency. Furthermore, when charging is possible, the thermoelectric components are used for charging to ensure continued driving range.

[0138] To enable those skilled in the art to clearly understand the implementation process of the embodiments of this application, the following examples are used for illustration:

[0139] The control logic of the camera defrosting system can be referred to Figure 4An ambient temperature sensor detects the external ambient temperature and generates an ambient temperature reading. A humidity sensor detects the relative humidity of the external environment and generates the ambient humidity reading. An air speed sensor detects the wind speed of the external environment; a light sensor detects the light intensity of the external environment. These environmental parameters are input to the MCU. The MCU's frost detection model calculates the dynamic frost threshold; the energy dispatch model calculates the power coefficient α and the number of thermocouple stages; the heating control model calculates T_target (heating temperature) and adjusts the heating duration; and the pattern recovery model receives weather forecast information via a weather forecast interface. Based on the parameters output by each model, the MCU controls the number of thermocouple stages, the switching of the heat dissipation channels in the nanoporous material, the power of the heating film, and the energy of the energy storage unit.

[0140] The corresponding frosting detection chart can be referenced. Figure 5 The frost detection threshold is based on T_s ≤ 0℃ and RH ≥ 85%. The model outputs personalized thresholds based on the current environment (such as wind speed and light intensity, requiring additional sensors or default parameters) and historical frost probabilities (such as differences between winter and summer). For example, in a low-temperature, high-wind-speed scenario, T_s* = -2℃, RH* = 80%; in a high-humidity, static scenario, T_s* = 1℃, RH* = 90%. When the real-time (T_s, RH) falls into the dynamic risk area generated by the model, the MCU defrost command is triggered. The dynamic risk area is a multi-dimensional parameter space constructed by combining environmental parameters, historical data, and real-time monitoring data through density clustering, probability thresholds, and algorithms such as random forest, GBDT, and LSTM.

[0141] 1. Basic parameters:

[0142] 1-1. Lens surface temperature (T_s): Directly affects the thermodynamic conditions for frosting;

[0143] 1-2. Ambient relative humidity (RH): determines the likelihood of water vapor condensation.

[0144] 2. Environmental correction parameters (adjust parameters according to actual sensor conditions):

[0145] 2-1. Wind speed (v): Affects the heat dissipation rate and moisture evaporation on the lens surface. High wind speed may reduce the probability of frosting (accelerates heat dissipation but may also accelerate moisture adhesion).

[0146] 2-2. Light Intensity (L): Light can increase the surface temperature of the lens and suppress frost formation;

[0147] 2-3. Ambient temperature (T_a): The temperature difference between A and T_s affects heat conduction, indirectly affecting the frosting rate;

[0148] 3. Optional parameters: atmospheric pressure, lens material temperature coefficient, historical defrosting frequency, etc.

[0149] II. Modeling

[0150] 1. Spatial dimension: density clustering, which involves clustering historical frost data to divide different scenarios and define the parameter space range for each scenario.

[0151] 2. Time series dimension: LSTM prediction captures the time series change trend of parameters such as temperature and humidity. If the predicted parameters will fall into the risk zone in the short term, the risk boundary is expanded in advance.

[0152] 3. Probability dimension: Random forest / GBDT, based on the current environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) and the time series features of LSTM output, calculates the frost probability, sets a dynamic probability threshold, and makes a comprehensive judgment by combining the frost probability output by the ensemble model.

[0153] The corresponding energy scheduling process can be referenced. Figure 6 The heating film is driven by the power of the energy storage unit. The power model of the heating film outputs a power adjustment coefficient α (0.5~1.2) based on the energy storage unit's power (SOC), the real-time temperature difference (ΔT) of the thermoelectric element, and historical energy consumption data. At the same time, the MCU dynamically adjusts the number of thermocouple series stages according to the model's suggestions to balance power generation efficiency and chip heat dissipation.

[0154] For the corresponding heating and defrosting process, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 7 The initial baseline for the defrosting target temperature is 5℃. The model outputs T_target based on parameters such as frost thickness (indirectly calculated through defrosting time / power) and real-time ambient temperature. The heating film raises the lens surface temperature to T_target. Based on historical melting time data, the model dynamically adjusts the maintenance duration until the frost melts. The nanoporous material temporarily closes the heat dissipation channels to reduce heat loss; simultaneously, it switches to 50% power preheating to prevent secondary frost formation until the mode recovery threshold is reached (the threshold baseline is lens temperature ≥10℃ and RH <70%). The model then adjusts the recovery conditions based on the 2-hour weather forecast, stops heating, switches the system back to power generation mode, and recharges the energy storage unit. The calculation logic for T_target (target defrosting temperature) prioritizes determining the baseline value based on frost thickness and real-time ambient temperature, with seasonal / historical frost rate as optional fine-tuning parameters. Furthermore, T_target is strictly controlled within 2℃~15℃ (within the safety boundary), and does not exceed 15℃ when combined with "thick frost + extremely low temperature". See the table below for details:

[0155]

[0156] Table 3

[0157] For dynamic adjustment of the target heating time: The primary adjustment factors are RH and the average historical melting time, combined with real-time wind speed and frost detection results for fine-tuning to avoid overheating or incomplete defrosting. The base value for the target heating time is ±50% (1–3 minutes), and in strong wind / frost scenarios, it can be extended to a maximum of 3.5 minutes (to avoid overheating). See the table below for details:

[0158]

[0159] Table 4

[0160] For mode recovery, the intelligent judgment is based on the access to weather forecasts. The threshold dynamically shifts with future environmental trends (e.g., in high humidity environments, the RH termination condition is increased to prevent re-frost formation immediately after recovery; energy storage capacity and nighttime hours are optional auxiliary fine-tuning conditions). The termination threshold is temperature adjustment ±2℃ and humidity ±10% (to prevent frequent mode switching). Please refer to the table below:

[0161]

[0162] Table 5

[0163] It can also protect the camera lens, such as forcibly cutting off power when the lens temperature exceeds 15℃ to avoid damage to the optical coating; when the energy storage unit's power is <20%, heating stops to ensure power supply for the camera's basic functions. Safety protection (SOC < 20% / T > 15℃) directly covers all adjustment rules and forcibly terminates heating.

[0287] The camera defrosting system of this application embodiment includes a thermoelectric element assembly, a heating element assembly, a heat dissipation structure layer, a sensor assembly, and an energy storage and control assembly. The operating heat of the energy storage and control assembly is transferred to the thermoelectric element assembly through the heat dissipation structure layer. The heat dissipation structure layer is used to isolate the heating element assembly and the thermoelectric element assembly when the heating element generates heat. The thermoelectric element assembly is used to convert the operating heat to charge the energy storage and control assembly. The system acquires environmental parameters detected by the sensor assembly. A dynamic defrosting threshold is determined based on the environmental parameters. A target power adjustment coefficient is determined based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control assembly and the operating state of the thermoelectric element assembly. The heating element assembly and the energy storage and control assembly are controlled based on the target power adjustment coefficient, the dynamic defrosting threshold, and the environmental parameters. By recovering energy from ambient temperature differences through thermoelectric components, storing this energy in energy storage and control components, and then using these components to power the heating components, the vehicle eliminates the need for an external power source or battery. This simplifies the vehicle's wiring and internal structure. A heat dissipation structure layer switches between states during power generation and heating, facilitating both heat conduction for charging and heat insulation for defrosting the heating components. This reduces heat loss, lowers system energy consumption, and improves driving range. Defrosting is performed by determining a dynamic defrosting threshold based on environmental parameters, and a target power regulation coefficient is determined based on the state of charge of the energy storage and control components and the operating status of the thermoelectric components. This target power regulation coefficient controls the heating of the heating components, adapting to complex environments and improving defrosting efficiency.
