Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of data processing technology, and more specifically, to a method for controlling the carbon dioxide concentration of a vehicle and a vehicle control system. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles using PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating in cold environments will consume a large amount of battery energy, resulting in a sharp reduction in driving range. Although ordinary heat pumps are more energy-efficient than PTC heating, their heating capacity is greatly reduced in extremely cold regions, and they may even fail to start, still requiring auxiliary electric heating. Against this backdrop, carbon dioxide heat pump technology has emerged. Carbon dioxide heat pumps utilize supercritical cycle characteristics to maintain efficient heating in low-temperature environments. Their energy efficiency ratio far exceeds that of traditional heat pumps and resistance heating, which can significantly reduce the reduction in driving range in winter.
[0003] However, for leak detection of carbon dioxide heat pump systems in electric vehicles, the relevant technologies rely solely on detecting the carbon dioxide concentration within the air conditioning system, resulting in low detection efficiency. Since carbon dioxide is colorless and odorless, it is difficult for occupants to detect in the early stages. As the concentration gradually increases, it can cause dizziness, chest tightness, and difficulty concentrating. In severe cases, it can even lead to hypoxia, suffocation, or loss of consciousness, increasing safety hazards.
[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0036] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0037] To better understand the embodiments of this application, the technical terms involved in the embodiments of this application are explained below:
[0038] Ventilation Actuation Mechanism: This refers to the physical devices in a vehicle used to regulate airflow, including window lift mechanisms, sunroof opening mechanisms, air conditioning internal and external circulation dampers, and vent fans. In this embodiment, the mechanism is activated by an MCU command after a CO2 leak is detected, enabling rapid air exchange in the cabin.
[0039] T-BOX (Telematics Box): An in-vehicle remote communication terminal capable of wireless data interaction with cloud servers and mobile apps. In this embodiment, the T-BOX automatically sends a distress signal to the car service desk upon detecting a CO2 leak, enabling remote alarm and emergency response.
[0040] Ventilation Outlet Fan: An independent exhaust fan installed at the rear vent of the vehicle to actively accelerate the exhaust of air from the cabin. In this embodiment, the fan is directly driven by the CO2 monitoring controller and can still operate using backup power even when the vehicle is powered off.
[0041] A three-way solenoid valve is an electromagnetically driven valve that can switch fluid pathways via electrical signals and has three interface ports. In this embodiment, two ports of the valve are connected to a high-pressure CO2 pipeline, and one port is connected to the forward engine compartment. It is used to release CO2 to form an inert gas layer in the event of a fire, thereby achieving fire extinguishing.
[0042] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, electric vehicle sales have increased rapidly. However, the reduced driving range in winter and high heating energy consumption are the biggest problems hindering the further promotion of electric vehicles. Carbon dioxide heat pump technology has emerged to address this issue. However, carbon dioxide heat pump systems operate under high pressure and are prone to leakage. Their system pressure is many times higher than that of traditional refrigerants, placing extremely high demands on the reliability of pipelines, valves, and sealing systems. In the event of a collision, component aging, or installation defects, high-pressure carbon dioxide can rapidly leak into the relatively enclosed cabin space. Because carbon dioxide is colorless and odorless, occupants may not detect it initially. As the concentration gradually increases, it can cause dizziness, chest tightness, and difficulty concentrating. In severe cases, it can even lead to hypoxia, suffocation, or loss of consciousness. This hidden leakage poses a significant safety hazard when the vehicle is traveling at high speed and lacks ventilation.
[0043] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides corresponding solutions, which are detailed below.

[0050] Under the above operating environment, this application provides an embodiment of a method for controlling the carbon dioxide concentration of a vehicle. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0051] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for controlling vehicle carbon dioxide concentration according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0052] Step S202: Collect carbon dioxide concentration values of the target vehicle through multiple sensors. The target vehicle is equipped with a carbon dioxide heat pump system for regulating temperature. The carbon dioxide concentration values are determined based on the carbon dioxide concentration in the air conditioning unit and the cabin of the target vehicle.
[0053] In step S202 above, multiple sensors refer to physical sensing devices installed in different spatial areas of the vehicle, specifically designed to detect carbon dioxide gas concentration. Their working principle is based on infrared absorption spectroscopy or electrochemical sensing mechanisms, capable of converting the concentration of carbon dioxide molecules in the air into a recognizable electrical signal. In some embodiments of this application, sensors are respectively arranged inside the air conditioning unit, at the front and rear of the cabin, forming a three-dimensional concentration sensing network. For example, sensors arranged inside the air conditioning unit are used to detect changes in the concentration of refrigerant at potential sources of leakage in the heat pump system, while sensors arranged at the front and rear of the cabin are used to monitor the actual exposure concentration within the passenger compartment.
[0054] A carbon dioxide heat pump system is a thermal management system that uses carbon dioxide as a refrigerant and operates in a supercritical cycle. The air conditioning unit is the core shell structure of the vehicle's air conditioning system, integrating components such as the evaporator, heating element, air ducts, and fan; it serves as the physical channel for air circulation and temperature regulation. In some embodiments of this application, this location is selected as the first monitoring point because it is adjacent to the high-pressure pipeline interface of the carbon dioxide heat pump system; if a refrigerant leak occurs, this area will be the first to show abnormal concentrations. The carbon dioxide concentration in the cabin refers to the volume percentage of carbon dioxide gas in the air within the enclosed space occupied by the occupants, and its changes directly reflect the health risks to the occupants. In some embodiments of this application, concentration gradient analysis is achieved through dual-point monitoring at the front and rear, avoiding misjudgments caused by local airflow disturbances.
[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the carbon dioxide concentration value of the target vehicle may refer to the carbon dioxide concentration value of the air conditioning unit, the carbon dioxide concentration value of the cabin, or the carbon dioxide concentration value determined based on the carbon dioxide concentrations of both the air conditioning unit and the cabin.
[0056] Step S204: Compare the carbon dioxide concentration value with the preset concentration value to obtain the comparison result.
[0057] In step S204 above, the preset concentration value refers to multiple concentration threshold nodes that are pre-fixed or calibrated within the CO2 monitoring controller to meet different safety levels and operating conditions. In some embodiments of this application, the preset concentration value can be designed as a multi-level differentiated threshold system: for example, 0.07% (700ppm) is used as the "air freshening start threshold" to trigger regular external circulation ventilation; 0.10% is used as the "preliminary leak confirmation threshold" to predict system anomalies; and 0.15% is used as the "emergency leak response threshold" to trigger system-wide linkage protection. These thresholds are not fixed but dynamically correlated with the vehicle's operating status (such as whether there are people, whether there is a power outage, or whether there is a collision).
[0058] In some embodiments of this application, under normal vehicle operation or when the vehicle is parked and powered down but no collision has occurred, the system employs a layered, progressive threshold comparison mechanism. For example, if the carbon dioxide concentration at any location in the air conditioning unit or cabin continuously exceeds 0.07% for more than one minute, the controller determines that the cabin air quality has deteriorated and generates an "air freshening mode activation" command, triggering the air conditioning system to activate external circulation and moderately adjust the fan speed. This process does not trigger alarms or forced ventilation; it only optimizes the ventilation strategy and is a comfort and preventative intervention. If the concentration further increases to 0.10% and persists for 30 seconds, the system determines that there is a "potential leakage risk," enters a standby enhanced monitoring state, increases the sensor sampling frequency, and prompts the occupants to "open the windows for ventilation," reserving reaction time for subsequent emergency responses.
[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the preset concentration value includes a first preset concentration value and a second preset concentration value, wherein the first preset concentration value is less than the second preset concentration value. Based on this, a comparison result can be determined through the following steps: comparing the carbon dioxide concentration value with the first preset concentration value and the second preset concentration value respectively; obtaining a first comparison result when the carbon dioxide concentration value is greater than the first preset concentration value but not greater than the second preset concentration value; obtaining a second comparison result when the carbon dioxide concentration value is greater than the second preset concentration value, wherein the second comparison result is used to indicate that there is a carbon dioxide refrigerant leak in the carbon dioxide heat pump system.
[0060] It should be noted that the first preset concentration value refers to the trigger threshold set at a low concentration level, and its value is determined based on the human body's physiological sensitivity to carbon dioxide and indoor air quality standards, such as 0.07% (700 ppm). The second preset concentration value refers to the danger judgment threshold set at a higher concentration level, and its value is determined based on the acute toxicological effects of carbon dioxide on the human body and the asphyxiation risk boundary, such as 0.15% (1500 ppm) or higher.
[0061] Specifically, when the vehicle is in normal driving or stationary without collision, the CO2 monitoring controller collects concentration data from multiple sensors in the air conditioning unit and cabin at fixed intervals (e.g., once per second), and compares this data with a first preset concentration value and a second preset concentration value in parallel. It should be noted that the first preset concentration value is primarily used to detect whether the cabin air quality has deviated from a comfortable range, so the CO2 concentration value in the cabin can be used for comparison. The second preset concentration value is used to detect whether there is a refrigerant leak, so the CO2 concentration values in both the air conditioning unit and the cabin can be compared simultaneously.
[0062] For example, if the current concentration in the cabin is 0.09%, exceeding 0.07% but not reaching 0.15%, a first comparison result is generated, and the system activates "Air Freshening Mode": the air conditioning system turns on external circulation, and the fan speed gradually increases according to a preset ratio (e.g., 5% per minute) until the concentration drops below 0.07%. If the current carbon dioxide concentration in both the air conditioning unit and the cabin exceeds 0.15%, or if the carbon dioxide concentration in either the air conditioning unit or the cabin exceeds 0.15%, a second comparison result is generated, and "Leakage Mode" is activated.
[0063] After obtaining the first comparison result, the following steps can be performed: control the target vehicle to simultaneously open the external air intake channel and the internal air circulation channel; collect the updated carbon dioxide concentration value of the target vehicle after a preset time period, and compare the updated carbon dioxide concentration value with the first preset concentration value to obtain the third comparison result; if the third comparison result indicates that the updated carbon dioxide concentration value is greater than the first preset concentration value, update the control parameters corresponding to the external air intake channel, wherein the control parameters are used to control the air intake ratio and air intake speed of the external air intake channel.
[0064] It should be noted that updating the carbon dioxide concentration value refers to the carbon dioxide concentration data that is re-collected by the sensor and filtered after a preset period of time following the implementation of ventilation intervention measures (i.e., simultaneously opening external air intake and internal recirculation). The control parameters of the external air intake channel refer to the set of instructions used to adjust the opening of the external recirculation damper and the blower speed in the vehicle's air conditioning system, including but not limited to the following dimensions: air intake ratio (i.e., the percentage of external fresh air to the total air intake) and air intake speed (i.e., the blower operating speed or air volume output level).
[0065] The above embodiment includes three consecutive actions: ① controlling the target vehicle to simultaneously open the external air intake channel and the internal air circulation channel; ② collecting the updated carbon dioxide concentration value after a preset time period and comparing it with the first preset concentration value; ③ updating the control parameters when the concentration does not meet the standard.
[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the control parameters corresponding to the external air intake channel can be updated in the following ways: increasing the air intake ratio of the external air intake channel according to a first preset ratio to obtain a target air intake ratio, wherein the air intake ratio is used to control the proportion of outside air in the air conditioning intake system of the target vehicle to the total air intake volume; controlling the target vehicle to ventilate based on the target air intake ratio, and determining whether to continue updating the target air intake ratio according to the first preset ratio or stop the operation after each preset time period; updating the air intake speed of the external air intake channel when the target air intake ratio is greater than a first target value and the actual carbon dioxide concentration value in the target vehicle is greater than a first preset concentration value.
[0067] Specifically, the air intake speed of the external air intake channel is updated by increasing the air intake speed of the external air intake channel according to a second preset ratio to obtain a target air intake speed. The air intake speed is used to control the rotation speed of the air conditioning blower of the target vehicle. The target vehicle is controlled to ventilate based on the target air intake speed, and after each preset time period, it is determined whether to continue updating the target air intake speed according to the second preset ratio or to stop the operation. If the target air intake speed is greater than the second target value and the actual carbon dioxide concentration in the target vehicle is greater than the first preset concentration value, the air intake ratio is increased according to the first preset ratio until a third target value is reached, where the third target value is greater than the first target value.
[0068] When the air intake ratio is the third target value and the actual carbon dioxide concentration in the target vehicle is greater than the first preset concentration value, the air intake speed is increased further according to the second preset ratio until the fourth target value is reached, where the fourth target value is greater than the second target value.
[0069] To facilitate understanding of the above process, some specific embodiments are explained below.
[0070] Figure 7This is a flowchart of an air purification mode for a vehicle carbon dioxide concentration control method according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, when the air freshening mode is activated based on the first comparison result (S702), the air conditioning system mixes internal and external air circulation to ensure fresh air in the cabin based on the external temperature and CO2 concentration in the cabin collected by the air conditioning controller. The air conditioning system collects the external ambient temperature and receives the CO2 concentration signal in the cabin (S704). When the CO2 concentration is detected to exceed 0.07% (700ppm) (S706), if the air conditioning intake system is not activated, the air conditioning intake system is activated (S708). The air conditioning intake fan speed is activated according to the user's last default setting. If there is no default setting, it is activated at 20% of the maximum fan speed (S710). If the external circulation is not activated, the external circulation mode is activated (S712). The external and internal circulation are mixed. When the external circulation activation ratio is 10% or the existing external circulation mode is activated, the air conditioning system will activate the air conditioning system (S708). Under the recirculation ratio, if the CO2 concentration does not decrease to below 0.07% after 1 minute of air intake (i.e., the preset time period), the external recirculation air intake ratio is increased by 5%. After running for 1 minute, the CO2 concentration is checked. This cycle continues until the external recirculation ratio increases to 60%. If the CO2 concentration does not decrease to 0.07% after 1 minute, the air intake speed is increased by 5%. If the CO2 concentration does not decrease to 0.07% after 1 minute, the air intake speed is increased by 5% again until it reaches 60% of the maximum speed. If the CO2 concentration still does not decrease to 0.07%, the external recirculation opening ratio is increased by 5% again until it reaches 100% external recirculation. If the CO2 concentration still does not decrease to 0.07%, the speed is increased by 5% again until it reaches 100% speed. If the driver manually / voice-commands to turn off or specify the external recirculation ratio / speed, the command will be executed (S714).
[0071] The above embodiments enable the system to move away from relying on a single fixed strategy and instead dynamically optimize ventilation intensity based on the actual purification effect. This can significantly reduce energy consumption by gradually increasing air volume only when necessary, avoiding a surge in air conditioning load caused by directly opening the external circulation mode. Furthermore, it can improve user acceptance, as the ventilation process is smooth and free of abrupt wind noise or temperature fluctuations, preventing passenger discomfort caused by sudden strong winds. In addition, it can enhance the system's adaptability, allowing the system to automatically adjust its strategy according to the actual concentration change rhythm regardless of whether the vehicle is in urban congestion, high-speed driving, or low-temperature idling conditions, without the need for manual intervention.
[0072] Step S206: If the comparison results indicate that there is a carbon dioxide refrigerant leak in the carbon dioxide heat pump system, a control command is generated.
[0073] In step S206 above, the control command refers to a set of standardized operating commands with a clear timing and priority, sent by the CO2 monitoring controller to various actuators of the vehicle after confirming a leak. This command is not a single action, but a composite command package involving multiple systems working together, including but not limited to: opening windows, activating the sunroof, forcing full external air circulation, activating the vent fan, triggering the T-BOX remote alarm, and illuminating the IVI system warning interface. It should be noted that when the carbon dioxide concentration in the air conditioning unit and / or cabin exceeds a second preset concentration value (e.g., 0.15%) and continues to meet the time condition, a refrigerant leak in the carbon dioxide heat pump system can be determined.
[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the ventilation actuator includes multiple sub-actuators, and control commands are used to control at least one of the following sub-actuators: door controller, sunroof controller, infotainment controller, and vent fan, wherein the infotainment controller is used to send leakage alert information.
[0075] In some embodiments of this application, when the power supply to the target vehicle is cut off, the target carbon dioxide concentration value collected by the target sensor is obtained, wherein the target sensor is a sensor connected to the backup power supply of the target vehicle among multiple sensors; the target carbon dioxide concentration value is compared with a third preset concentration value to obtain a fourth comparison result; if the fourth comparison result indicates that the target carbon dioxide concentration value is greater than the third preset concentration value, the target ventilation actuator connected to the backup power supply is controlled to perform ventilation operation.
[0076] To facilitate understanding of the above process, some specific embodiments are explained below. Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating the leakage mode of a vehicle carbon dioxide concentration control method according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, after detecting that the CO2 concentration in the air conditioning compartment and cabin reaches a leakage concentration of 0.15%, the system immediately enters leakage mode (S802). The CO2 monitoring controller MCU sends a leakage command on the CAN bus (S804). According to the leakage command, the door controller lowers the window glass, the sunroof controller opens the sunroof, the IVI infotainment controller sends a CO2 leakage warning through the instrument panel or central control display, and sends a distress signal to the car manufacturer's service desk through the T-BOX. At the same time, the air conditioning controller turns on 100% external circulation and runs at the maximum air intake speed. The CO2 monitoring controller MCU drives the vent fan to start ventilation. If the vehicle loses power in special conditions such as a collision, the backup power supply of the CO2 monitoring controller MCU is activated. The CO2 concentration sensor 3 (connected to the CO2 monitoring controller MCU) collects the concentration signal. If the CO2 concentration exceeds 0.1% (i.e., the third preset concentration value, which can be less than the second preset concentration value), the vent fan is controlled to rotate (S806).
[0077] The above embodiments take into account physical ventilation (windows, sunroof, fans), air exchange (air conditioning external circulation), information warning (IVI) and remote rescue (T-BOX), constructing a comprehensive coverage network. Furthermore, through backup power and independent sensor architecture, it ensures that basic protection capabilities can still be maintained in extreme situations such as collision power outages.
[0078] Step S208: Control the ventilation actuator in the target vehicle to perform ventilation operation based on the control command.
[0079] In step S208 above, when the control command is triggered under normal vehicle power supply conditions, the system can activate one or more ventilation actuators with the highest priority; when the main power system is cut off due to a collision, the conventional air conditioning controller, body controller, etc., all stop working, but the CO2 monitoring controller continues to operate because it is connected to a dedicated backup power supply. At this time, the control command is only directed to the target ventilation actuator directly connected to the backup power supply, such as the independent vent fan at the rear of the vehicle.
[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the following steps may also be performed: obtaining the operating conditions of the target vehicle; and, if the operating conditions indicate that a fire has occurred in the target area of the target vehicle, controlling the carbon dioxide heat pump system to inject carbon dioxide refrigerant into the target area.
[0081] It should be noted that a valve device is installed in the target area, which includes a first port, a second port and a third port. The first port and the second port are connected in series to the high-pressure refrigerant circulation pipeline of the carbon dioxide heat pump system. In the event of a fire, the third port is connected to the first port to inject carbon dioxide refrigerant into the target area.
[0082] Operating conditions refer to the set of vehicle operating status parameters collected and comprehensively judged in real time by multiple sensors and control systems during vehicle operation, including but not limited to: abnormal increase in front engine compartment temperature, battery pack thermal runaway signal, smoke detector alarm, fire extinguishing command manually triggered by the driver, or flame image detected by the vehicle camera, etc.
[0083] Specifically, when the temperature sensor in the vehicle's front engine compartment detects that the local temperature increases by a preset amount within a preset time period, and simultaneously a smoke detector outputs an alarm signal and / or the high-voltage wiring harness insulation monitoring module reports a sudden drop in insulation resistance, the vehicle control unit (HCU) sends the aforementioned signals to the CO2 monitoring controller via the CAN bus. The CO2 monitoring controller confirms the fire event and sends a switching command to the three-way solenoid valve (i.e., the valve device) in the heat pump system. This solenoid valve is originally a heat pump circulation valve, with two ports connected to the high-pressure carbon dioxide pipeline (one end of the pipeline connected to the first port, and the other end connected to the second port), and the third port directly connected to the sealed cavity at the top of the front engine compartment via a dedicated conduit. Upon receiving the command, the solenoid valve actuates, cutting off the normal heat pump circulation path and opening the release channel to the front engine compartment.
[0084] In some embodiments of this application, if a fire breaks out in the engine compartment, a CO2 protection mode can be activated with a single button. When a fire occurs in the forward engine compartment, the pilot can operate the button to release CO2 into the forward engine compartment. This can be operated on the IVI central control screen. There is a three-way solenoid valve in the forward engine compartment, with two of the two ends connected to the CO2 high-pressure pipeline. When the solenoid valve receives a control signal, it releases CO2 through the unconnected end. If the 12V power supply is no longer available at this time, the pilot can also manually operate the valve to release CO2. The released CO2 forms a gas protective layer to prevent the fire from burning further.
[0085] Through steps S202 to S208 above, a multi-point carbon dioxide concentration sensing method is adopted. By deploying sensors in multiple areas of the target vehicle to collect carbon dioxide concentration values, comparing them with preset safety thresholds, and automatically generating ventilation control commands when a refrigerant leak is detected, the vehicle's ventilation actuator is driven to start the air exchange operation. This achieves the goal of real-time, full-area monitoring of leak risks, thereby realizing the technical effect of rapid and reliable leak response. It also solves the technical problem that related technologies rely solely on carbon dioxide concentration detection within the air conditioning system, resulting in low response efficiency and increased safety hazards.
[0086] This application embodiment also provides a vehicle control system, which includes a target vehicle, multiple sensors, and a controller. The multiple sensors are installed in the target vehicle and connected to the controller to collect carbon dioxide concentration values inside the target vehicle. The carbon dioxide concentration values are determined based on the carbon dioxide concentration in the air conditioning unit and the passenger compartment of the target vehicle. The controller is connected to the controller and is used to compare the carbon dioxide concentration values with preset concentration values to obtain comparison results. If the comparison results indicate that there is a carbon dioxide refrigerant leak in the carbon dioxide heat pump system, the controller generates control commands and controls the ventilation actuators inside the target vehicle to perform ventilation operations based on the control commands.
[0087] In some embodiments of this application, the multiple sensors include: a first sensor disposed in the air conditioning unit of the target vehicle, a second sensor disposed in the front of the cabin of the target vehicle, and a third sensor disposed in the rear of the cabin of the target vehicle, wherein the third sensor is connected to the controller.
[0088] In some embodiments of this application, a backup power supply and a vent fan are also included. The backup power supply is connected to the controller and is used to supply power to the controller when the power supply to the target vehicle is cut off and there is a carbon dioxide refrigerant leak in the carbon dioxide heat pump system. The vent fan is connected to the controller and is used to perform ventilation operation based on the controller's control signal.
[0089] It should be noted that the controller mentioned above refers to the CO2 monitoring controller MCU.

Figure 3 As shown, for example, CO2 concentration sensor 1 (302, i.e., the first sensor) is located inside the air conditioning compartment, CO2 concentration sensor 2 (304, i.e., the second sensor) is located at the front of the cabin, CO2 concentration sensor 3 (306, i.e., the third sensor) is located at the rear of the cabin, and the CO2 monitoring controller MCU and backup power supply (308) are located under the rear seats for easy replacement of the backup power supply and to prevent damage in a collision. The vent fan (310) is located above the vent at the rear of the vehicle. The specific location of CO2 concentration sensor 1 inside the air conditioning compartment is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 4 ,exist Figure 4 The image shows a top view (top) and a front view (bottom) of the three-compartment air conditioning unit. The CO2 concentration sensor 1 (404) is located between the heater core (402) and the evaporator (406). There is also an air filter (408) and a blower (410).

Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the vehicle controller HCU (502) and the air conditioning controller AC (503) are on the same CAN bus. The vehicle controller HCU provides the power status of the vehicle, including when the vehicle is powered off, parked, or driving. The air conditioning controller AC collects signals from the ambient temperature sensor (505) and the CO2 concentration sensor 1 (506), and controls the operation of the compressor (504). The door controller (507), seat controller (508), CO2 monitoring controller MCU (509), body controller (510), CO2 concentration sensor 2 (511), and sunroof controller (512) are on the same CAN bus. The door controller can control the raising and lowering of the windows, the seat controller can detect whether someone is sitting in the seat, and the body controller collects signals from the CO2 concentration sensor 2. The signal can also collect the remote key (517) locking signal (516), the sunroof controller can control the opening and closing of the sunroof, the CO2 monitoring controller controls the operation of the body vent fan (514), collect the CO2 concentration sensor 3 (515), and in addition to connecting to the whole vehicle 12V low voltage power system, there is also a backup 12V power system (513). In the event of a power failure of the whole vehicle low voltage, the backup 12V power system starts to supply power to the CO2 detection controller; T-BOX (518) and IVI entertainment host (519) are on a CAN bus. T-BOX communicates with the cloud server (520) and can interact with the mobile APP (521). IVI entertainment host can interact with the driver or the occupants of the vehicle. The above three CAN buses are used for signal forwarding and interaction through the gateway GW (501).

Figure 6 As shown, after the vehicle is parked and powered off, the CO2 monitoring controller MCU obtains the number of occupants from the seat controller via the bus.

However, it continues to monitor when it receives a control command from the mobile APP (S602). When the vehicle is unlocked and woken up, the three CO2 concentration sensors begin to detect the CO2 concentration in the air conditioning system and the cabin (S604).
[0094] (1) The cabin air freshening mode is enabled by default (S606).
[0095] (2) Once the CO2 concentration in the air conditioning unit and cabin reaches 0.15%, the system immediately enters the leakage mode (S608).
