Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle communication technology, and in particular to a method, system, vehicle, device and medium for pre-conditioning temperature of a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As automotive intelligence levels increase, users' demands for driving and riding comfort are rising. When a vehicle is parked, the temperature inside the cabin and the battery can easily deviate from the comfortable or efficient operating range. In existing vehicle temperature pre-regulation technologies, the vehicle begins temperature adjustment immediately after the user activates the pre-regulation command. This can easily lead to the vehicle temperature already being at the optimal level for an extended period before the user actually uses the vehicle, resulting in energy waste. Alternatively, if the user activates the pre-regulation only before using the vehicle, it takes a considerable amount of time to adjust the cabin and battery temperature to a suitable level, thus affecting the driving and riding experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a method, system, vehicle, device and medium for pre-regulating vehicle temperature, which can dynamically calculate the temperature control start time according to the user's vehicle use plan, so that the vehicle reaches the target temperature at the time of use, thereby achieving precise pre-regulation of vehicle temperature, reducing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and improving the user's driving comfort.

[0004] Firstly, a method for pre-regulating the temperature of a vehicle is provided, comprising: Receive a user-inputted car usage plan, which includes the user's car usage time; The temperature pre-conditioning time is obtained based on the target temperature, ambient temperature, and historical thermal response data. The temperature control start time is determined based on the temperature pre-adjustment duration and the vehicle usage time; At the moment the temperature control is activated, a temperature control command is sent to the vehicle to wake up the relevant controller for temperature adjustment.

[0005] Furthermore, the target temperature is preset by the system or set by the user in the vehicle usage plan.

[0006] Furthermore, the wake-up-related controller performs temperature regulation, including: If the ambient temperature is higher than the target temperature, the ventilation-related controller is activated to perform a cooling operation on the vehicle. If the ambient temperature is lower than the target temperature, the heating-related controller is activated to perform a heating operation on the vehicle.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes: Receive the temperature adjustment results uploaded by the vehicle and feed them back to the user.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes: If, at the time of vehicle use, the difference between the vehicle temperature and the target temperature exceeds a preset temperature difference, a new temperature control command will be generated and sent to the vehicle.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes: If the vehicle fails to start after the scheduled time following the designated usage time, or if the user cancels the usage plan, a command to terminate temperature control will be issued to the vehicle to stop temperature adjustment.

[0010] Secondly, a vehicle temperature pre-regulation system is provided, comprising: A receiving module is used to receive a user-inputted car usage plan, which includes the user's car usage time. The calculation module is used to obtain the temperature pre-conditioning time based on the target temperature, ambient temperature, and historical thermal response data; The determination module is used to determine the temperature control start time based on the temperature pre-adjustment duration and the vehicle usage time; The control module is used to send a temperature control command to the vehicle at the time of temperature control activation to wake up the relevant controller for temperature adjustment.

[0011] Thirdly, a vehicle is provided, comprising: a temperature pre-conditioning system for the vehicle according to the second aspect described above.

[0012] Fourthly, a computer device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein when the processor executes the program, it implements the temperature pre-regulation method for a vehicle according to the first aspect described above.

[0013] Fifthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, including a memory and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on a processor, wherein when the processor executes the program, it implements the temperature pre-conditioning method for a vehicle according to the first aspect described above.

[0014] According to the embodiments of this application, the user's vehicle usage plan is first received, including the user's usage time. Then, based on the target temperature, ambient temperature, and historical thermal response data, the temperature pre-adjustment duration is obtained. Next, based on the temperature pre-adjustment duration and the usage time, the temperature control activation time is determined. Finally, at the temperature control activation time, a temperature control command is sent to the vehicle to wake up the relevant controller for temperature adjustment. Therefore, the temperature control activation time can be dynamically calculated based on the user's usage plan, ensuring the vehicle reaches the target temperature at the usage time, thereby achieving precise pre-adjustment of the vehicle temperature, reducing overall vehicle energy consumption while improving user driving comfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the application. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the application are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0017] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a method, system, vehicle, device, and medium for pre-conditioning a vehicle according to embodiments of this application.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a vehicle temperature pre-conditioning method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle temperature pre-conditioning method according to an embodiment of this application includes the following steps: S101: Receive the user's input car usage plan, which includes the user's car usage time.

[0020] Specific communication architecture such as Figure 2 As shown, the cloud communicates wirelessly with both the vehicle and the user terminal. The user terminal can be a mobile app, the cloud is the vehicle manufacturer's backend server, and the vehicle is equipped with a remote communication terminal (TBOX). The user inputs their usage plan through the mobile app, including setting the expected usage time. The mobile app then uploads the usage plan to the cloud via the wireless network.

[0021] S102: Based on the target temperature, ambient temperature, and historical thermal response data, obtain the temperature pre-conditioning time.

[0022] In one embodiment of this application, the target temperature is preset by the system or set by the user in the vehicle usage plan.

[0023] Specifically, if the vehicle is equipped with automatic air conditioning, the target temperature is determined according to the preset suitable temperature of the automatic air conditioning system; if the vehicle is not equipped with automatic air conditioning, the target temperature setting option is provided when the user enters the driving plan.

[0024] After receiving the vehicle usage plan, the cloud dynamically calculates the pre-adjustment time required to adjust the vehicle cabin and power battery to the target temperature based on the target temperature, ambient temperature, and historical thermal response data. The historical thermal response data includes the historical time required to adjust the cabin or power battery to the target temperature under different ambient temperature conditions.

[0025] S103: Determine the temperature control start time based on the temperature pre-adjustment duration and the vehicle usage time.

[0026] Specifically, the temperature control start time is the time obtained by subtracting the temperature pre-adjustment time from the vehicle usage time. For example, if the user sets the vehicle usage time to 8:00, and the temperature pre-adjustment time calculated by the cloud is 30 minutes, then the temperature control start time is 7:30.

[0027] S104: At the moment the temperature control is activated, a temperature control command is sent to the vehicle to wake up the relevant controller for temperature adjustment.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, the wake-up related controller for temperature regulation includes: if the ambient temperature is higher than the target temperature, waking up the ventilation related controller to perform a cooling operation on the vehicle; if the ambient temperature is lower than the target temperature, waking up the heating related controller to perform a heating operation on the vehicle.

[0029] Specifically, upon reaching the temperature control activation point, the cloud sends a temperature control command to the vehicle's TBOX. The TBOX establishes a local temperature control command issuance and monitoring system within the vehicle to address network interruption risks. This includes: the TBOX determining the necessary actions based on a comparison between the ambient temperature and the target temperature, and waking up relevant controllers, including the vehicle control unit (VCU), battery management system (BMS), positive temperature coefficient heater (PTC), and air conditioning compressor (AC). Simultaneously, it avoids waking up unnecessary modules, such as the in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI) and motor controller (HMCU), to minimize standby power consumption. Furthermore, the TBOX allocates power to each controller according to a calibration strategy, ensuring that the cabin and battery reach the target temperature simultaneously. Once the cabin or battery temperature reaches the target, the corresponding controller automatically shuts down and sends a completion signal to the TBOX. After detecting that both the cabin and battery temperatures have reached the target, the vehicle enters a low-power sleep state, and the TBOX feeds back the temperature control results to the cloud.

[0030] It should be noted that when the vehicle is adjusting the temperature, only the high-voltage system is connected, and the vehicle is not allowed to be driven, in order to ensure vehicle safety during the temperature adjustment process.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: receiving temperature adjustment results uploaded by the vehicle and feeding back the temperature adjustment results to the user.

[0032] Specifically, after receiving the temperature control results from TBOX, the cloud pushes them to the user's end via wireless network. The user can then remotely view the completion status of temperature adjustment through a mobile app, including whether the temperature meets the standard, the adjustment time, and energy consumption information.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: if the difference between the vehicle temperature and the target temperature exceeds a preset temperature difference at the time of vehicle use, then a temperature control command is regenerated and sent to the vehicle.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes: if the vehicle fails to start after a predetermined time following the scheduled usage time, or if the user cancels the usage plan, a termination temperature control command is issued to the vehicle to stop temperature adjustment.

[0035] The scheduled time can be set according to actual needs. For example, if the vehicle is not started 30 minutes after the scheduled time, the cloud determines that the user has not actually used the vehicle and sends a command to terminate the temperature control. After receiving the command, the TBOX shuts down the corresponding controller that was woken up, stops the heating or cooling operation, and the whole vehicle enters a low-power sleep state, thereby avoiding energy waste.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle temperature pre-regulation method first receives a user-inputted vehicle usage plan, which includes the user's usage time; then, based on the target temperature, ambient temperature, and historical thermal response data, the temperature pre-regulation duration is obtained; next, based on the temperature pre-regulation duration and the usage time, the temperature control activation time is determined; finally, at the temperature control activation time, a temperature control command is sent to the vehicle to wake up the relevant controller for temperature regulation. Thus, the temperature control activation time can be dynamically calculated based on the user's usage plan, ensuring the vehicle reaches the target temperature at the usage time, thereby achieving precise pre-regulation of the vehicle temperature, reducing overall vehicle energy consumption while improving user driving comfort.

The calculation module 320 is used to obtain the temperature pre-conditioning time based on the target temperature, ambient temperature and historical thermal response data; The determining module 330 is used to determine the temperature control start time based on the temperature pre-adjustment duration and the vehicle usage time; The control module 340 is used to send a temperature control command to the vehicle at the time of temperature control activation to wake up the relevant controller for temperature adjustment.

[0038] According to the vehicle temperature pre-regulation system of this application embodiment, the system first receives a user-inputted vehicle usage plan, which includes the user's usage time; then, based on the target temperature, ambient temperature, and historical thermal response data, it obtains the temperature pre-regulation duration; next, based on the temperature pre-regulation duration and the usage time, it determines the temperature control activation time; finally, at the temperature control activation time, it sends a temperature control command to the vehicle to wake up the relevant controller for temperature regulation. Thus, the temperature control activation time can be dynamically calculated based on the user's usage plan, ensuring the vehicle reaches the target temperature at the usage time, thereby achieving precise pre-regulation of the vehicle temperature, reducing overall vehicle energy consumption while improving user driving comfort.
