[0024] The principles and spirit of this disclosure will be described below with reference to several exemplary embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these specific embodiments are described merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement this disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. In the following description and claims, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0025] As used herein, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "an embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc., may refer to different or the same objects and are used only to distinguish the objects referred to, without implying a particular spatial order, temporal order, order of importance, etc., of the objects referred to.

[0026] For example, Figure 1 Structural schematic diagrams of vehicles provided in some embodiments of this application are presented. For example... Figure 1 The vehicle 10 includes a center console 11 and a vehicle refrigerator 12 installed on the vehicle body. The center console 11 is communicatively connected to the vehicle refrigerator 12 to control the vehicle refrigerator 12. For example, the center console 11 can control the vehicle refrigerator 12 to turn on or off, and can also set the operating mode of the vehicle refrigerator 12 and the corresponding operating parameters, etc.

[0027] Vehicle 10 refers to a means of transportation driven or towed by a power unit for the purpose of carrying passengers or transporting goods; for example, a car, truck, or RV. The vehicle body serves to fix and house the onboard refrigerator 12 and the center console 11, etc. The vehicle body may have a driver's cabin for the driver to sit in. The driver can control the vehicle 10 through a control system (e.g., the center console 11, drive system, and braking system) located in the driver's cabin. The onboard refrigerator 12 may be located in the driver's cabin to allow the driver or passengers to easily access items placed inside, such as food or medicine. The onboard refrigerator 12 can be used to refrigerate the items placed inside it.

[0028] For example, Figure 2 The document presents schematic diagrams of the hardware structure of a vehicle-mounted refrigerator according to some embodiments of this application. For example... Figure 2As shown, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 200 includes a controller 210 and a refrigerant circulation system 220 and a cooling fan 230 that are communicatively connected to the controller 210. The refrigerant circulation system 220 includes a compressor 221, a condenser 222, a throttling structure 223 (e.g., a capillary tube / expansion valve), and an evaporator 224. The compressor 221, condenser 222, throttling structure 223, and evaporator 224 are sequentially connected via pipelines along the refrigerant circulation direction, forming a circulation loop; the refrigerant can undergo a phase change along the circulation loop.

[0029] When the refrigerant circulation system 220 is operating, the compressor 221 compresses the gaseous refrigerant returning from the evaporator 224. The temperature of the compressed gaseous refrigerant rises and exceeds the ambient temperature. When the compressed gaseous refrigerant is sent into the condenser 222, it releases heat to the outside through the condenser 222. At the same time, the controller controls the cooling fan 230 to rotate, driving airflow so that the cold air carries away the hot air from the surface of the condenser, thereby increasing the heat exchange rate between the gaseous refrigerant in the condenser and the outside air. This allows the gaseous refrigerant to complete the phase change from gaseous to liquid more quickly, ensuring a smooth refrigeration cycle.

[0030] The heat generated by the compressor 221 during operation needs to be dissipated by the cooling fan 230. Generally, the higher the compressor load, the more heat is generated; the lower the compressor load, the less heat is generated. However, the cooling fans in existing car refrigerators typically rotate at a constant speed. The cooling capacity of a cooling fan rotating at a constant speed is fixed. When the cooling capacity of the cooling fan meets the cooling requirements of the compressor under high load, the cooling capacity of the cooling fan becomes excessive when the compressor is running under low load, resulting in excessive noise. Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a method for controlling the noise of a cooling fan, a controller, a car refrigerator, and a storage medium, which can control the noise based on the current operating power of the compressor. and current cumulative working hours A first theoretical rotational speed that satisfies the current noise level is determined, and the rotation of the cooling fan is controlled based on this first theoretical rotational speed to adjust the cooling fan speed, thereby achieving noise control of the cooling fan. To facilitate the reader's understanding of this application, specific embodiments are described below.

Let ,in, Cumulative working hours Heat dissipation requirements The influence coefficient. This represents the functional relationship between cumulative working time and heat dissipation demand. Specifically, in some embodiments, ;in, Operating power With cumulative working hours The mutual coupling effect on heat dissipation demand The influence coefficient. The physical meaning of this is the change in heat dissipation demand caused by the temperature rise coupling of the compressor. Temperature rise coupling refers to the multi-field coupling phenomenon formed during the operation of the compressor, where the temperature fields generated by different heat sources interact with each component / medium through heat conduction, heat convection, or heat radiation.

[0041] Controller based on function ,function and functions The initial heat dissipation model equations are established, and their mathematical expressions are as follows: Formula (2) in, For heat dissipation requirements; This refers to the compressor's operating power.

[0046] For example, the controller can Substituting into formula (3) to calculate Formula (3) takes into account the relationship between the heat dissipation demand of the compressor and the noise index of the cooling fan, so that the cooling fan can still effectively dissipate heat while ensuring that the cooling fan has low noise.

[0047] Step S24: The controller calculates the first theoretical speed based on the current noise index. The first theoretical speed is used to represent the speed of the cooling fan corresponding to the current noise index.

Used to indicate the speed of a cooling fan and It is a constant.

[0049] Specifically, the controller can calculate the current noise level of the cooling fan in step 23. Substitute into formula (4) to calculate the first theoretical speed. .

[0050] Current noise level of the cooling fan The second power function relationship between the fan speed and the cooling fan speed allows for the determination of a cooling fan speed range that can further reduce the noise of the cooling fan while ensuring that the cooling fan speed meets the heat dissipation requirements.

[0051] Step S25: The controller controls the rotation of the cooling fan based on the first theoretical speed.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the controller can adjust the speed of the cooling fan based on the monitored current operating power of the compressor and the corresponding heat dissipation demand. By controlling the change in the cooling fan speed, the noise output of the cooling fan can be dynamically adjusted according to different operating power levels. When the compressor's operating power decreases, the cooling fan speed decreases, thereby reducing the noise of the cooling fan; when the compressor's operating power increases, the fan speed increases to improve the cooling effect of the cooling fan on the compressor.

[0053] In some embodiments, step S25 specifically includes: the controller based on Calculate the second theoretical speed, which is used to represent The corresponding cooling fan speed; if the controller determines that the second theoretical speed is less than the first theoretical speed, the controller controls the cooling fan to rotate based on the first theoretical speed; if the controller determines that the second theoretical speed is not less than the first theoretical speed, the controller controls the cooling fan to rotate based on the second theoretical speed. In this embodiment, to ensure the compressor operates normally, the cooling fan speed prioritizes meeting the compressor's heat dissipation needs.

The unit can be dB; Used to indicate the rotational speed of a cooling fan. This is the noise model index for the cooling fan. and The unknowns are to be calibrated.

[0058] By combining formulas (6) and (7) with the controller, the current noise level of the cooling fan can be obtained. With respect to the current heat dissipation requirements of the compressor The initial first power function relationship between them is as follows: Formula (8) in, Noise level used to indicate the noise level of a cooling fan; Used to indicate the heat dissipation requirements of the compressor; , , and All of these are unknowns to be calibrated.

[0059] In some embodiments, the model parameters in formulas (6), (7), and (8) , , and The calibration method is as follows: The controller acquires several sets of different second actual data collected when the vehicle refrigerator is working. Each set of second actual data includes the heat dissipation demand. and heat dissipation requirements The corresponding cooling fan speed and noise index For example, as shown in Table 1, the first group of second actual data in several groups is... , and The second actual data in group 2 is , and The second actual data in group 3 is , and ...The second actual data in group m is , and ...; where m is a positive integer. The controller calculates the heat dissipation demand from each set of second actual data based on a preset fitting method (such as polynomial method or least squares method). and the speed of the cooling fan Fitting the result with formula (6) yields... and The values ​​are respectively and Then and Substituting into formula (6), we obtain formula (5). The controller uses the least squares method, etc., to calculate the heat dissipation demand in each group of second actual data.
