[0002] Shock absorbers generate damping force through oil flow and valve throttling, converting vehicle vibration energy into heat energy to reduce vehicle vibration. Their damping characteristics are affected by the viscosity and flow characteristics of the internal fluid, thus requiring a specific operating temperature range.

[0003] Currently, shock absorbers that can adjust suspension damping characteristics in real time have been developed in related technologies, among which semi-active control suspension systems equipped with continuous damping control (CDC) shock absorbers are widely used.

[0004] However, the CDC shock absorber in the relevant technology lacks a temperature control system. When the temperature is low in winter or high in summer, or when driving slowly on mountain roads, the temperature will deviate from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life. This problem urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a temperature control system and method for a vehicle and a shock absorber to solve the problems in the related art where the shock absorber temperature deviates from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life, thereby improving the stability and comfort of the vehicle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application proposes a temperature control system for a vibration damper, comprising: a dust cover for the vibration damper, a temperature detection component, a heating component, a cooling component, and a control component.

[0007] Among them, the dust cover of the damper is fixed to the target damper; Temperature detection component, used to detect the current temperature of the target shock absorber; A heating component is used to transfer heat to the dust cover of the shock absorber and heat the target shock absorber. A cooling assembly for cooling the target vibration damper; A control component is configured to send a cooling command to the refrigeration component when the current temperature is greater than a first preset temperature, causing the refrigeration component to cool the target vibration damper based on the cooling command, and to send a heating command to the heating component when the current temperature is less than a second preset temperature, causing the heating component to heat the target vibration damper based on the heating command, wherein the first preset temperature is greater than the second preset temperature.

[0008] According to one embodiment of this application, the heating assembly includes: A heating unit is configured to generate the heat based on the heating command; A fan is used to transfer the heat to the dust cover of the shock absorber to heat the target shock absorber, and / or to unidirectionally circulate air into the dust cover of the shock absorber.

[0009] According to one embodiment of this application, the fan and the dust cover of the vibration damper are connected by a first air hose.

[0010] According to one embodiment of this application, the temperature control system of the shock absorber further includes: a first check valve disposed in the first air hose line.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the cooling component is connected to the dust cover of the vibration damper via a second air hose.

[0012] According to one embodiment of this application, the temperature control system of the shock absorber further includes: a second one-way valve disposed in the second air hose circuit.

[0013] According to one embodiment of this application, the temperature control system of the vibration damper further includes: A power supply component is connected to the control component, the cooling component, and the heating component, respectively, and is used to supply power to the control component, the cooling component, and the heating component.

[0014] According to one embodiment of this application, the temperature control system of the vibration damper further includes: The pressure relief assembly installed on the dust cover of the shock absorber allows the dust cover to release air pressure to the outside.

[0015] According to the temperature control system for the shock absorber proposed in this application, a temperature detection component detects the current temperature of the target shock absorber. When the current temperature is higher than a first preset temperature, the control component sends a cooling command to a cooling component, causing the cooling component to cool the target shock absorber based on the cooling command. When the current temperature is lower than a second preset temperature, the control component sends a heating command to a heating component, causing the heating component to heat the target shock absorber based on the heating command. The first preset temperature is higher than the second preset temperature. This solves the problems in related technologies where the shock absorber temperature deviates from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life, thereby improving vehicle stability and comfort.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of this application provides a vehicle including a temperature control system for a shock absorber as described in the above embodiments.

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, a third aspect of this application provides a temperature control method for a vibration damper, which is applied to the temperature control system of the vibration damper as described above, wherein the method includes the following steps: The current temperature of the target vibration damper is detected by the temperature detection component. Determine whether the current temperature is greater than the first preset temperature; If the current temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, a cooling search command is sent to the refrigeration component, so that the refrigeration component cools the target vibration damper based on the cooling command; otherwise, it is determined whether the current temperature is less than the second preset temperature. If the current temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, then the heating command is sent to the heating component, so that the heating component heats the target vibration damper based on the heating command.

[0018] According to the temperature control method for a shock absorber proposed in this application, a temperature detection component detects the current temperature of the target shock absorber. When the current temperature is higher than a first preset temperature, the control component sends a cooling command to a cooling component, causing the cooling component to cool the target shock absorber based on the cooling command. When the current temperature is lower than a second preset temperature, the control component sends a heating command to a heating component, causing the heating component to heat the target shock absorber based on the heating command. The first preset temperature is higher than the second preset temperature. This solves the problems in related technologies where the shock absorber temperature deviates from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life, thereby improving vehicle stability and comfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0022] The following describes a temperature control system and method for a vehicle and a shock absorber according to embodiments of this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, the temperature control system for a shock absorber according to embodiments of this application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a block diagram of the temperature control system 10 of a vibration damper according to an embodiment of this application.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control system 10 of the shock absorber includes: a shock absorber dust cover 100, a temperature detection component 200, a heating component 300, a cooling component 400, and a control component 500.

[0025] The dust cover 100 of the shock absorber is fixed to the target shock absorber.

[0026] The target vibration damper refers to the specific vibration damper that the temperature control system of this application targets and that requires temperature regulation and protection.

[0027] Specifically, the vibration damper dust cover 100 uses the target vibration damper as the mounting carrier. Through a suitable fixing structure, such as clips, bolt connections, or elastic clamping devices, it forms a rigid or semi-rigid connection with the outer peripheral wall or specific assembly parts of the target vibration damper, thereby achieving a follow-up assembly of the target vibration damper. Its spatial position changes synchronously with the working state of the target vibration damper. For example, the target vibration damper can be a CDC vibration damper, and the vibration damper dust cover 100 can be an aluminum alloy dust cover, which can be fixed to the CDC vibration damper. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a CDC shock absorber connection structure according to an embodiment of the present application. The structure includes a shock absorber dust cover 100 and a pressure relief assembly 101 and an air hose connector 102 disposed on the shock absorber dust cover 100.

[0028] Temperature detection component 200 is used to detect the current temperature of the target vibration damper.

[0029] The current temperature can be the real-time temperature of the target vibration damper.

[0030] Specifically, the temperature detection component 200 is installed on the target vibration damper to detect the real-time temperature of the target vibration damper.

[0031] For example, the target vibration damper is a CDC vibration damper, and the temperature detection component 200 is implemented by a clamp-type thermocouple temperature sensor, which is installed on the CDC vibration damper (as close as possible to the center of the piston rod stroke range, as the temperature outside the stroke range cannot accurately represent the real-time temperature of the vibration damper) to identify the temperature of the CDC vibration damper in real time.

[0032] Heating component 300 is used to transfer heat to the damper dust cover 100 to heat the target damper.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the heating assembly 300 includes a heating unit 301 and a fan 302. The heating unit 301 generates heat based on a heating command; the fan 302 transfers the heat to the dust cover of the shock absorber to heat the target shock absorber, and / or unidirectionally circulates air into the dust cover 100 of the shock absorber.

[0034] Specifically, the heating assembly 300 is composed of a heating unit 301 and a fan 302 working together. The heating unit 301 generates heat in response to heating commands. The fan 302 primarily functions to transfer heat and regulate airflow. On one hand, it transfers the heat generated by the heating unit to the dust cover 100 of the vibration damper, achieving directional heating of the target vibration damper. On the other hand, it can selectively introduce air unidirectionally into the dust cover 100, allowing only external air to enter. This replenishes the enclosed space with fresh air to balance the air pressure and regulates the microenvironment within the dust cover during non-heating operations. Alternatively, it can simultaneously perform heat transfer and unidirectional airflow functions, introducing air while simultaneously delivering heat energy from the heating unit 301, achieving synergy between heat transfer and environmental regulation. This ensures heating efficiency while optimizing the thermodynamic environment within the dust cover through airflow regulation.

[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments, the fan 302 is connected to the shock absorber dust cover 100 via a first air hose.

[0036] The first air hose refers to the flexible tubular connector that connects the fan to the dust cover 100 of the vibration damper.

[0037] Specifically, the fan 302 and the vibration damper dust cover 100 are connected by a first air hose. One end of the hose forms a sealed connection with the air outlet of the fan, and the other end is connected to a preset interface of the vibration damper dust cover 100.

[0038] For example, the heating unit 301 can be a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistor), and the vibration damper dust cover 100 can be a CDC vibration damper aluminum alloy dust cover. The PTC acts on the air blown out by the fan 302, providing heat energy for heating the vibration damper; the fan 302 is also connected to the CDC vibration damper aluminum alloy dust cover by an air hose, transferring the heat of the PTC to the aluminum alloy dust cover to heat the CDC vibration damper, and simultaneously or separately unidirectionally circulates air to the aluminum alloy dust cover.

[0039] Cooling component 400 is used to cool the target vibration damper.

[0040] Specifically, the cooling component 400 acts on the shock absorber dust cover 100 to cool the target shock absorber. For example, the cooling component 400 can be an air conditioner, implemented by a vehicle air conditioner.

[0041] The control component 500 is used to send a cooling command to the cooling component 400 when the current temperature is greater than a first preset temperature, so that the cooling component 400 cools the target vibration damper based on the cooling command, and to send a heating command to the heating component 300 when the current temperature is less than a second preset temperature, so that the heating component 300 heats the target vibration damper based on the heating command, wherein the first preset temperature is greater than the second preset temperature.

[0042] The first preset temperature and the second preset temperature can be temperatures preset by the user, temperatures obtained through a limited number of experiments, or temperatures obtained through a limited number of computer simulations.

[0043] Specifically, the control component 500 receives a real-time temperature signal transmitted by the temperature detection component 200. When the current temperature of the target vibration damper is higher than the first preset temperature, a cooling command is triggered and sent to the cooling component 400, driving the cooling component 400 to perform a cooling operation on the target vibration damper according to the command. When the current temperature of the target vibration damper is lower than the second preset temperature, a heating command is generated and transmitted to the heating component 300, driving the heating component 300 to heat the target vibration damper according to the command. The first preset temperature and the second preset temperature constitute a bidirectional temperature control threshold range, and the value of the first preset temperature is set higher than the second preset temperature. This temperature difference design forms a clear control boundary, ensuring that the temperature of the target vibration damper is controlled within the preset temperature range.

[0044] Furthermore, during vehicle operation, if the target shock absorber is in a state of continuous heating or continuous cooling: when the target shock absorber is in a state of continuous heating, when the temperature detection component 200 detects that the current temperature of the target shock absorber has reached the first preset temperature, the control component 500 starts the cooling component 400 to cool it to a preset median value (i.e., the middle reference value of the temperature control range) and then stops cooling. Afterwards, if the target shock absorber reaches the first preset temperature again due to continuous heating, the above cooling process is repeated; when the target shock absorber is in a state of continuous cooling, when the temperature detection component 200 detects that the current temperature of the target detector has reached the second preset temperature, the control component 500 starts the heating component 300 to heat the target shock absorber. When the current temperature of the target detector reaches the preset median value, the heating is stopped. Afterwards, if the target shock absorber reaches the second preset temperature again due to continuous cooling, the above heating process is repeated.

[0045] For example, the control component 500 can be an on-board controller, which can be implemented by an SPC-STW-2612CMS type on-board controller. It is connected to the temperature detection component 200, the cooling component 400, the heating unit 301 and the fan 302, and is used to receive the temperature signal from the temperature detection component 200 and control the output of the heating component 300 and the cooling component 400.

[0046] It should be noted that this application proposes a principle for setting the operating temperature range. Different manufacturers may set different optimal operating temperature ranges based on factors such as damper design and materials. To avoid frequent starts of the temperature control system in this application, the operating temperature range can be set to the median of the optimal operating temperature range of the damper provided by the manufacturer ±10°C.

[0047] Therefore, the temperature detection component detects the current temperature of the target shock absorber. When the current temperature is higher than a first preset temperature, the control component sends a cooling command to the cooling component, causing the cooling component to cool the target shock absorber based on the cooling command. Conversely, when the current temperature is lower than a second preset temperature, the control component sends a heating command to the heating component, causing the heating component to heat the target shock absorber based on the heating command. The first preset temperature is higher than the second preset temperature. This solves the problems in related technologies where the shock absorber temperature deviates from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life, thereby improving vehicle stability and comfort.

[0048] Furthermore, in addition to the piping configuration of the heating component 300 and the shock absorber dust cover 100, a corresponding one-way valve is also provided. The connection between the cooling component and the shock absorber dust cover also adopts a piping design and is equipped with a corresponding one-way valve.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the temperature control system 10 of the shock absorber further includes a first check valve 800 disposed in the first air hose.

[0050] Specifically, in the temperature control system 10 of the vibration damper, the present application embodiment further includes a first one-way valve 800. The one-way valve is integrated inside the first air hose connecting the fan 302 and the dust cover 100 of the vibration damper. Its core function is to limit the airflow to only flow unidirectionally in the direction from the fan 302 to the dust cover through a mechanical structure, effectively blocking the reverse backflow phenomenon, so as to ensure the directionality and stability of the heating airflow transmission and avoid heat loss or air path interference caused by backflow of airflow.

[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments, the temperature control system 10 of the shock absorber further includes a second air hose connecting the cooling component 400 and the dust cover 100 of the shock absorber.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the temperature control system 10 of the shock absorber further includes a second check valve 900 disposed in the second air hose.

[0053] Specifically, in the temperature control system 10 of the vibration damper, the refrigeration component 400 and the dust cover 100 of the vibration damper are connected by a second air hose. This hose serves as a transmission channel for the refrigeration airflow, ensuring that the cooling capacity generated by the refrigeration component 400 can be directionally delivered to the interior of the dust cover. Simultaneously, a second one-way valve 900 is integrated within the second air hose. This valve, through a mechanical structure, limits the airflow to unidirectional flow only from the refrigeration component 400 to the dust cover, effectively blocking reverse airflow. This ensures the stability and efficiency of the refrigeration airflow transmission, preventing cooling capacity loss or interference with the operation of the refrigeration component 400 due to backflow.

[0054] Therefore, the one-way valve is connected between the fan 302 and the vibration damper dust cover 100, and between the refrigeration component 400 and the vibration damper dust cover 100, effectively ensuring the directional transmission of heating and cooling airflow and avoiding energy loss and temperature control interference caused by reverse airflow.

[0055] Furthermore, the temperature control system 10 of the vibration damper of this application also includes a power supply structure that provides energy support for each electrical component.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the temperature control system 10 of the shock absorber further includes a power supply component 600, which is connected to the control component 500, the cooling component 400 and the heating component 300 respectively, and is used to supply power to the control component 500, the cooling component 400 and the heating component 300.

[0057] Specifically, the power supply component 600, as the core of the energy supply for the temperature control system, forms a stable electrical connection with the control component 500, the cooling component 400, and the heating component 300. Its core function is to provide suitable operating power to the aforementioned electrical components, ensuring the effective execution of control commands and the stable output of cooling and heating actions, thereby guaranteeing the coordinated operation of the entire temperature control system. For example, the power supply component 600 can be a power battery.

[0058] This ensures that all components respond collaboratively to temperature control requirements, avoiding system function interruptions or control delays caused by unstable power supply.

[0059] Furthermore, in order to balance the internal air pressure of the dust cover of the shock absorber, this embodiment of the application provides a pressure relief component, based on the dynamic control of the target shock absorber temperature.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the temperature control system 10 of the shock absorber further includes: a pressure relief component 101, which is disposed on the dust cover 100 of the shock absorber, and the dust cover 100 of the shock absorber releases air pressure to the outside through the pressure relief component 101.

[0061] Specifically, the pressure relief assembly 101 is installed on the shock absorber dust cover 100 for air pressure relief from the sealed shock absorber dust cover 100 to the outside, while it is not required for the open shock absorber dust cover 100.

[0062] Therefore, the pressure relief component 101 can balance the air pressure by timely discharging excess air from the dust cover 100 of the shock absorber, avoiding excessive internal pressure from interfering with the cover structure or temperature control airflow transmission, and ensuring the stability and safety of the system operation.

[0063] To facilitate those skilled in the art to further understand the temperature control system 10 of the vibration damper in the embodiments of this application, the following description is provided in conjunction with the temperature control method of the CDC vibration damper.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a temperature control method for a CDC vibration damper according to an embodiment of this application. The method includes the following steps: S401, Begin.

[0065] S402, the vehicle starts, activating the on-board controller and receiving temperature signals from the temperature sensor.

[0066] S403, the temperature sensor detects the current temperature of the CDC damper.

[0067] S404, the vehicle controller determines the current temperature of the CDC shock absorber and activates either the PTC heater or the air conditioning compressor for cooling. If heating is activated, proceed to step S405; otherwise, proceed to step S407.

[0068] S405, CDC shock absorber has a low temperature (below 40°C).

[0069] S406, start PTC heating to 50°C and then stop heating.

[0070] S407, CDC shock absorber has a high temperature (above 60°C).

[0071] S408, the air conditioner compressor starts cooling to 50°C and then stops cooling.

[0072] S409, the vehicle controller determines whether the CDC shock absorber is continuously heating up or continuously cooling down. If it is continuously heating up, proceed to step S410; otherwise, proceed to step S412.

[0073] S410, CDC vibration damper is in a state of continuous temperature rise.

[0074] S411, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature exceeds 60℃, the air conditioner compressor starts cooling until it reaches 50℃ and then stops cooling.

[0075] S412, CDC vibration damper is in a continuous cooling state.

[0076] S413, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature is below 40℃, it starts PTC heating and stops heating when the temperature reaches 50℃.

[0077] S414, vehicle power off, vehicle controller shut down, heating or cooling stopped.

[0078] S415, End.

[0079] Thus, the vehicle starts, activating the onboard controller, which receives temperature signals from the temperature sensor. The onboard controller determines the current CDC damper temperature and either activates the PTC heater or the air conditioning compressor to cool, continuously adjusting the CDC damper temperature through heating / cooling air until it reaches the set temperature range. During normal vehicle operation, the onboard controller determines whether the CDC damper is continuously heating or cooling. If it is continuously heating, the air conditioning compressor is activated when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature has reached the upper limit, and this process is repeated thereafter. If it is continuously cooling, the PTC heater is activated when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature has reached the lower limit, and this process is repeated thereafter. When the vehicle is turned off and power is disconnected, heating or cooling ceases.

[0080] According to the temperature control system for the shock absorber proposed in this application, a temperature detection component detects the current temperature of the target shock absorber. When the current temperature is higher than a first preset temperature, the control component sends a cooling command to a cooling component, causing the cooling component to cool the target shock absorber based on the cooling command. When the current temperature is lower than a second preset temperature, the control component sends a heating command to a heating component, causing the heating component to heat the target shock absorber based on the heating command. The first preset temperature is higher than the second preset temperature. This solves the problems in related technologies where the shock absorber temperature deviates from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life, thereby improving vehicle stability and comfort.

[0081] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle that includes... Figure 1 The temperature control system of the vibration damper shown in the embodiment.

[0082] The vehicle proposed in the embodiments of this application solves the problems of shock absorber temperature deviating from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life in related technologies through the above-mentioned shock absorber temperature control system, thereby improving the stability and comfort of the vehicle.

[0083] Furthermore, a temperature control method for a vibration damper according to an embodiment of this application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. This method is applied to... Figure 1 The temperature control system of the vibration damper shown in the embodiment.

[0084] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a temperature control method for a vibration damper according to an embodiment of this application.

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, the temperature control method for this vibration damper includes the following steps: S501 detects the current temperature of the target vibration damper using a temperature detection component.

[0086] S502, determine whether the current temperature is greater than the first preset temperature.

[0087] S503, if the current temperature is greater than the first preset temperature, a cooling search command is sent to the cooling component, so that the cooling component cools the target vibration damper based on the cooling command; otherwise, it is determined whether the current temperature is less than the second preset temperature.

[0088] S504, if the current temperature is lower than the second preset temperature, a heating command is sent to the heating component, so that the heating component heats the target vibration damper based on the heating command.

[0089] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the temperature control system embodiment for the shock absorber also applies to the temperature control method of the shock absorber in this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0090] According to the temperature control method for a shock absorber proposed in this application, a temperature detection component detects the current temperature of the target shock absorber. When the current temperature is higher than a first preset temperature, the control component sends a cooling command to a cooling component, causing the cooling component to cool the target shock absorber based on the cooling command. When the current temperature is lower than a second preset temperature, the control component sends a heating command to a heating component, causing the heating component to heat the target shock absorber based on the heating command. The first preset temperature is higher than the second preset temperature. This solves the problems in related technologies where the shock absorber temperature deviates from the optimal range, reducing suspension comfort and shortening service life, thereby improving vehicle stability and comfort.
