Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] While in-car refrigerators, wine cabinets, and warmers have long been favored by high-end vehicles, their widespread adoption by OEMs has been limited by the specific characteristics of in-car environments. The core constraints differ between gasoline-powered and new energy vehicles. For gasoline-powered vehicles, the primary pain point is in parking scenarios. With the engine off, the vehicle's low-voltage battery cannot continuously power these devices, meaning they can only be used while driving, significantly diminishing the user experience during rest stops, outdoor camping, and other similar situations.

[0003] In the rapidly emerging field of new energy vehicles in recent years, although the entire vehicle can be powered by high voltage to support the continued operation of equipment when parked, promoting the rapid popularization of in-vehicle refrigerators, wine cabinets, and coolers / warmers, which have become standard equipment in many new energy models, new limitations still exist. On the one hand, continuous operation of the equipment will significantly consume electricity, directly shortening the vehicle's driving range; on the other hand, when the high-voltage battery charge is lower than a set threshold, the system will forcibly cut off the equipment's power to ensure basic driving range, meaning that the usage scenarios for the equipment are not yet fully open.

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

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle that solves the problem of insufficient power supply to the on-board heating and cooling box in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, comprising: a vehicle body on which solar glass is disposed; a solar controller disposed on the vehicle body and electrically connected to the solar glass; and an on-board refrigerator / heater connected to the vehicle body, the on-board refrigerator / heater being electrically connected to a low-voltage battery and a high-voltage battery on the vehicle body and the solar controller via a power distribution box.

[0007] Furthermore, the solar glass is located at the top of the vehicle body, and / or the vehicle is equipped with a backup battery for storing excess electrical energy generated by the solar glass, and the backup battery is electrically connected to the vehicle's onboard heating and cooling box.

[0008] Furthermore, the solar glass includes a solar panel, the DC-DC converter in the solar controller is electrically connected to the solar panel, and the distribution box is electrically connected to the DC-DC converter in the solar controller.

[0009] Furthermore, the solar controller converts the voltage at the output of the solar panel to 12V via a DC-DC converter.

[0010] Furthermore, a PDC-M module is installed between the vehicle-mounted heating / cooling box and the power distribution box. The PDC-M module is powered by the power distribution box, and the vehicle-mounted heating / cooling box is powered by the PDC-M module.

[0011] Furthermore, the solar panel has a power of 250W, an output voltage of less than or equal to 32V, and a rated current of 7.9A.

[0012] Furthermore, the solar controller is equipped with multiple chip structures, of which at least one chip structure is a backup chip.

[0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle control method is also provided. The control method is used to control the vehicle described above. The control method includes the following steps: acquiring the vehicle's operating condition information; and generating a control strategy set when it is determined that the operating condition information meets the target state. The control strategy set is used to control the solar controller to supply power to the vehicle's heating and cooling box.

[0014] Furthermore, the vehicle's operating condition information is acquired, including: speed information, the power-off status information of the vehicle's high-voltage battery, and the light intensity information of the vehicle's ambient location; when the speed information, power-off status information, and light intensity information meet the target state, a first control strategy is generated in the control strategy set, which is used to control the solar controller to supply power to the on-board heating and cooling box.

[0015] Furthermore, if the speed information and power-off status information meet the target state, but the light intensity information does not meet the target state, a second control strategy is generated in the control strategy set. The second control strategy is used to control the backup battery to supply power to the vehicle's heating and cooling box.

[0016] The technical solution of this invention combines a solar controller with solar glass. The solar controller converts the electrical energy generated by the solar glass into power for the vehicle's in-vehicle refrigerator / heater system. When there is sufficient sunlight, the solar glass generates electricity, the solar controller automatically starts and adjusts the voltage to a suitable level, and then supplies power to the in-vehicle refrigerator / heater system through the distribution box. This reduces the vehicle's own power consumption, extends the vehicle's lifespan, and lowers operating costs. It eliminates the need to rely on the vehicle's low-voltage or high-voltage battery, avoiding the limitation of refrigerator / heater functionality due to insufficient battery capacity when the vehicle is powered off, and mitigating the risk of reduced driving range in new energy vehicles due to refrigerator / heater power consumption. Furthermore, through the connection function of the distribution box, the in-vehicle refrigerator / heater system can be effectively and stably powered even when the vehicle is driving normally or the engine is running, improving the convenience and environmental performance of the system.

It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0025] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a vehicle is provided.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle includes a body, a solar controller, and an onboard heating / cooling box. Solar glass is installed on the body; the solar controller is installed on the body and electrically connected to the solar glass; the onboard heating / cooling box is connected to the body and is electrically connected to the low-voltage battery, high-voltage battery, and solar controller on the body via a power distribution box.

[0027] The technical solution of this embodiment combines a solar controller with solar glass. The solar controller converts the electrical energy generated by the solar glass to power the vehicle's onboard refrigerator / heater system. When there is sufficient sunlight, the solar glass generates electricity, the solar controller automatically starts and adjusts the voltage to a suitable level, and then supplies power to the onboard refrigerator / heater system through the distribution box. This reduces the vehicle's own power consumption, extends the vehicle's lifespan, and lowers operating costs. It eliminates the need to rely on the vehicle's low-voltage or high-voltage battery, avoiding the limitation of refrigerator / heater functionality due to insufficient battery capacity when the vehicle is powered off, and mitigating the risk of reduced driving range in new energy vehicles due to refrigerator / heater power consumption. Furthermore, through the connection function of the distribution box, the onboard refrigerator / heater can be effectively and stably powered even when the vehicle is driving normally or the engine is running, improving the convenience and environmental performance of the onboard refrigerator / heater system. In this embodiment, the vehicle is preferably a gasoline-powered vehicle.

[0028] Specifically, the solar glass is located on the top of the vehicle body, and / or the vehicle is equipped with a backup battery for storing excess electrical energy generated by the solar glass, and the backup battery is electrically connected to the vehicle's onboard heating and cooling box.

[0029] By placing the solar glass on the roof of the vehicle, the solar panel maximizes the solar energy receiving area, ensuring that it efficiently collects solar energy and converts it into electricity even when the vehicle is not in use. The vehicle also has a backup battery to store excess energy generated by the solar glass. This backup battery is electrically connected to the onboard refrigerator / heater; when the energy provided by the solar glass is insufficient to meet the operating needs of the refrigerator / heater, the backup battery can supplement the power, ensuring the refrigerator / heater's continuous and stable operation. This not only improves energy efficiency but also greatly expands the application scenarios of the onboard refrigerator / heater, enabling it to effectively maintain its temperature even in sunny conditions when the vehicle is not in use, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0030] Specifically, the solar glass includes a solar panel, the DC-DC converter in the solar controller is electrically connected to the solar panel, and the distribution box is electrically connected to the DC-DC converter in the solar controller.

[0031] The solar panels integrated into the solar glass are electrically connected to the DC-DC module of the solar controller, ensuring efficient conversion and stable output of solar power. The distribution box is directly connected to the converted DC-DC module, forming an independent and efficient power link specifically for powering the vehicle's in-vehicle refrigerator / heater. This allows the in-vehicle refrigerator / heater to directly utilize the power generated by the solar glass when the vehicle is not in use or is parked, without relying on the vehicle's high-voltage or low-voltage battery, ensuring continuous operation and effectively avoiding any impact on the vehicle's driving range, providing a more flexible and energy-efficient user experience.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the layout of the solar panels and the usage of the backup battery can be adjusted according to different vehicle models to achieve optimal energy management.

[0033] Specifically, the solar controller uses a DC-DC converter to convert the voltage at the output of the solar panel to 12V.

[0034] By converting the voltage from the solar panel output to 12V, the efficient utilization of solar power is ensured, providing a stable power supply to the vehicle's in-vehicle refrigerator / heater even when the vehicle is not powered on. The converted 12V DC power directly meets the refrigerator / heater's operational needs, requiring no additional energy input. Under parked conditions and with sufficient sunlight, the in-vehicle refrigerator / heater can operate continuously, greatly expanding its application scenarios. Furthermore, it effectively avoids reliance on the vehicle's high-voltage or low-voltage batteries, reducing energy loss, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing the vehicle's environmental performance and user experience.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the solar controller may also employ different voltage conversion strategies to adapt to more diverse automotive application requirements.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a PDC-M module is installed between the vehicle-mounted heating and cooling box and the power distribution box. The PDC-M module is powered by the power distribution box, and the vehicle-mounted heating and cooling box is powered by the PDC-M module.

[0037] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator / heater incorporates a PDC-M module. This module is powered by the distribution box, enabling the solar panels to effectively supply power to the refrigerator / heater even when the vehicle is not in use or powered off. The solar controller adjusts the voltage and power output of the solar panels based on the output voltage and power, stabilizing the voltage at 12V via an internal DC-DC converter to meet the refrigerator / heater's power requirements. This achieves efficient power transmission. Based on signals from the solar controller, the controller can calculate and adjust the enable state of the refrigerator / heater in real time, ensuring that it can operate autonomously under sufficient sunlight without relying on the vehicle's own power supply system. This not only expands the application scenarios of the refrigerator / heater and improves the user experience but also helps reduce overall vehicle energy consumption and improve energy efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the specific arrangement or connection method of the PDC-M module can be adjusted, and solar energy can be used to power the vehicle-mounted heating and cooling box through similar logic and control strategies.

[0039] Furthermore, the solar panel has a power of 250W, an output voltage of less than or equal to 32V, and a rated current of 7.9A.

[0040] In this embodiment, by precisely controlling the power, output voltage, and rated current of the solar panel, it is ensured that the solar panel can efficiently collect and convert solar energy in an environment with sufficient sunlight, achieving safe compatibility with subsequent power conversion and distribution systems, effectively expanding the scope of application of the equipment, while reducing dependence on vehicle power, and improving energy utilization efficiency and user experience.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, solar panels with different power ratings or by adjusting the specific value of the output voltage can be used to ensure continuous power supply to the vehicle-mounted heating and cooling box under specific conditions through reasonable power management and distribution.

[0042] Furthermore, the solar controller is equipped with multiple chip structures, of which at least one chip structure is a backup chip.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting up multiple chips and backup chips, when a chip fails or is damaged and cannot function properly, the backup chip can immediately take over, ensuring the continuous operation of the solar controller and thus providing uninterrupted energy to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator / heater. The system can cope with sudden hardware failures without reducing overall efficiency, enhancing the stability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator / heater system and the user experience.

[0044] It should be noted that the backup chips dynamically switch between each other through an internal algorithm, ensuring that the solar controller can automatically select the best chip for energy conversion under any lighting conditions. This further improves energy utilization efficiency and system response speed, so that the system can still maintain efficient operation even when less than half of the chips inside the solar panel are damaged, meeting the continuous use requirements of the vehicle-mounted hot and cold box.

[0045] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle control method is also provided, the control method comprising the following steps: acquiring vehicle operating condition information; and, when determining that the operating condition information meets the target state, generating a control strategy set, the control strategy set being used to control the solar controller to supply power to the vehicle-mounted heating and cooling box.

[0046] By acquiring vehicle operating condition information and generating a control strategy set under specific target conditions, directional power supply from the solar controller to the onboard refrigerator / heater is achieved. This ensures that the onboard refrigerator / heater can efficiently utilize solar energy resources under different operating conditions without consuming the vehicle's own high-voltage or low-voltage battery energy. This not only improves energy utilization efficiency and reduces the impact on the vehicle's basic range but also enhances the user experience and further expands the application scenarios of the onboard refrigerator / heater.

[0047] It should be noted that the control strategy set contains a variety of preset control logic or algorithms, which can dynamically adjust the working mode of the solar controller according to different situations or operating conditions, so as to optimally supply power to the vehicle-mounted heating and cooling box.

[0048] Specifically, acquiring vehicle operating condition information includes: acquiring vehicle speed information, the vehicle's high-voltage battery power-off status information, and the ambient light intensity information of the vehicle's location; and, if the speed information, power-off status information, and ambient light intensity information meet the target state, generating a first control strategy from the control strategy set. This first control strategy is used to control the solar controller to supply power to the onboard heating and cooling box. For example, the speed information may show that the vehicle is parked (speed is zero) and powered off, with good sunlight conditions (which can be determined from weather forecast information, such as a sunny day).

[0049] When vehicle status information indicates that the vehicle is stationary, the high-voltage battery is de-energized, and the ambient light intensity meets a preset threshold, the system automatically generates a first control strategy to activate the path for the solar controller to supply power to the onboard refrigerator / heater. This ensures the effective utilization of solar energy resources under suitable conditions, providing continuous and stable power support for the onboard refrigerator / heater. By monitoring whether the vehicle is stationary, whether the high-voltage battery is de-energized, and whether the light intensity meets the standard for activating solar power, the system determines whether to trigger the first control strategy. This enables the onboard refrigerator / heater to operate independently when not in motion and under sufficient sunlight, without relying on the vehicle's conventional power supply, significantly improving the device's usage scenarios and energy efficiency.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, other operating condition information, such as temperature and humidity, can be obtained to help determine the timing of solar power activation and further optimize energy management strategies.

[0051] Specifically, if the speed information and power-off status information meet the target state, but the light intensity information does not meet the target state, a second control strategy is generated in the control strategy set. The second control strategy is used to control the backup battery to supply power to the vehicle's heating and cooling box.

[0052] The second control strategy uses a backup battery to power the vehicle's in-vehicle refrigerator / heater, ensuring that the refrigerator / heater can maintain its function even in the absence of sufficient light, and continuously provide users with heating and cooling storage services. This allows for flexible switching of power supply methods in various lighting environments, effectively ensuring the stable operation of the refrigerator / heater and improving the user experience.

[0053] It should be noted that when the speed information and power-off status information meet the target state, and the light intensity information meets the target state, the first control strategy is activated, and the solar controller directly supplies power to the vehicle-mounted cooling and heating box; if the light intensity information does not meet the target state, the second control strategy is activated, and the backup battery supplies power to the vehicle-mounted cooling and heating box.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the backup battery can be a dedicated battery independent of the vehicle's main power supply, or the vehicle's low-voltage battery. By detecting the light intensity signal, the system automatically selects the most suitable power supply, thereby enabling uninterrupted power supply to the vehicle's insulated box in different scenarios.

[0055] In another embodiment of this application, the vehicle is a C-class sedan. This model innovatively integrates both a solar glass roof and an onboard refrigerator / heater, providing a hardware foundation for overcoming the limitations of traditional onboard refrigerators. The solar glass roof and solar controller together form an independent power supply system. The core characteristic of this system is that it can operate autonomously as long as sufficient sunlight is available, regardless of whether the vehicle is powered on or off. This invention, through multi-dimensional design collaboration, completely breaks free from the constraints of traditional power supply modes, overcoming the pain points of gasoline vehicles: it eliminates the need to rely on engine power or low-voltage batteries, avoiding the problem of insufficient battery capacity causing the refrigerator / heater to be unusable when the gasoline vehicle is powered off.

[0056] Optimize the new energy vehicle experience: It eliminates the need to consume high-voltage battery power, thus solving the limitations of using a heating / cooling box after power is off, which would shorten the driving range and cause the vehicle to be forcibly shut down when the battery is low.

[0057] The application scenarios have been greatly expanded: For the first time, the vehicle-mounted hot and cold box can be used continuously in "parking scenarios with sufficient sunlight". Users can enjoy the constant temperature function of the hot and cold box at any time in scenarios such as outdoor camping and temporary parking storage, completely getting rid of the limitation of "only being able to use it while driving".

[0058] More efficient energy use: Fully utilizing solar energy, a clean energy source, without consuming the vehicle's own power (fuel or high-voltage battery), it reduces energy consumption and aligns with the trend of green travel. Enhanced user experience: The hot / cold box can autonomously maintain a constant internal temperature, eliminating the need for users to worry about the vehicle's power status or remaining battery power, significantly improving ease of use and reliability.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, under suitable lighting conditions, the solar panel outputs a voltage below 32V and a rated current of 7.9A based on the internal integrated chip. Since the solar controller is directly connected to the solar panel, it automatically wakes up and starts working when the solar panel outputs power. The solar controller converts the solar panel output voltage to 12V via an internal DC-DC converter, which then powers the PDC-M (Power Distribution Unit-M), which in turn powers the in-vehicle cooling / heating box. In this way, the present invention utilizes the electrical energy provided by the solar panel to form a minimized power circuit, thereby reducing overall vehicle energy consumption and ensuring that the solar energy is used for the in-vehicle cooling / heating box system.

[0060] In another embodiment of this application, based on the arrangement of the solar glass on the roof, the power of the solar panel is 250W, which is converted to 12V DC by the solar controller and then to approximately 225W. The power of the solar controller is approximately 15W, the power of the distribution box is 7W, the power of the PDC-M is 6W, and the power of the heating / cooling box is 12.5W. The total power consumed by all electrical appliances is 40.5W. The system can ensure effective operation. Considering the possibility of power reduction due to chip damage inside the solar panel, the design objective of this invention can be achieved when less than 1 / 2 of the chips are damaged.

[0061] When the entire system is in operation, the solar controller outputs the voltage and power of the solar panels in real time, and the cooling / heating box feeds back the working request and the current cooling or heating status to the PDC-M in real time. The PDC-M integrates the main control logic module required in this invention. Based on the voltage and power of the solar panels output by the solar controller, it calculates the target voltage that the solar controller needs to output in real time. At the same time, based on the actual voltage status output by the solar controller, it calculates and outputs the enable status signal of the cooling / heating box. The cooling / heating box then determines whether to start the cooling or heating function based on the enable status signal.

[0062] In this embodiment, the electricity generated by the vehicle's solar glass roof is used to power the vehicle-mounted insulated box when the vehicle is not in use, expanding the application scenarios of the insulated box. The solar controller, insulated box controller, and vehicle PDC-M (Power Data Center-Middle) power circuit and communication link are designed. In parked scenarios, only the systems within the link are ensured to be operational, enabling the effective utilization of solar energy by the insulated box. The communication signals between the solar controller, insulated box controller, and vehicle PDC-M are designed to realize the functions of the entire system.

[0063] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0064] 1) Diversification and optimization of energy use: The solar controller converts the light energy absorbed by the solar glass into electrical energy to power the vehicle's in-vehicle heating and cooling box, thereby achieving diversification of energy use, optimizing energy distribution, reducing dependence on the vehicle's internal low-voltage and high-voltage batteries, and thus reducing energy consumption on multiple levels.

[0065] 2) Expanding application scenarios: Whether it is a fuel vehicle or a new energy vehicle, it can continuously supply power to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator / heater when parked, breaking the limitations of the traditional power supply mode and greatly enhancing the practical value of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator / heater.

[0066] 3) Reliability and stability of system operation: The first control strategy utilizes solar power, and the second control strategy activates backup battery power when sunlight is insufficient, ensuring that the vehicle-mounted cooling box can receive a stable and reliable power supply at all times, thus improving the overall stability of the system.

[0067] 4) Environmental protection: Prioritizing the use of solar energy as an energy source not only reduces vehicle energy consumption but also reduces the use of fossil fuels, which aligns with the concepts of green travel and sustainable development.

[0068] 5) Cost-effectiveness: Reducing reliance on high-voltage and low-voltage batteries in vehicles helps lower the cost of battery maintenance and replacement, while also reducing energy costs, bringing economic benefits to car owners.
