Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cabin temperature control technology, and in particular to a refrigerator structure, control method, device, system and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent cockpit technology, cars are no longer just a means of transportation for users, but are increasingly becoming a second home that integrates entertainment, leisure and other functions. As a result, users' demands for car intelligence and cabin comfort are gradually increasing.

[0003] To meet user needs, an increasing number of cars are equipped with built-in car refrigerators. However, these refrigerators generate a lot of waste heat during operation, which needs to be forcibly expelled through the refrigerator's vents by a fan. If the vents are poorly positioned, the hot airflow will blow directly onto the driver's or front passenger's legs or hands, causing significant heat and severely interfering with driving comfort. Even if the vents are properly positioned, the hot airflow will still cause the cabin temperature to rise sharply, affecting the user's comfort.

[0004] In summary, how to reduce the impact of refrigerator heat generation on cabin temperature is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of cabin temperature control. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a refrigerator structure, control method, device, system, and vehicle for reducing the impact of refrigerator heat generation on cabin temperature.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a refrigerator structure integrated into the cabin, including a refrigerator body and a flow guiding assembly. The refrigerator body is equipped with a compressor and a condenser inside. The flow guiding assembly includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the flow guiding assembly is located in the area where the compressor and condenser are located. The outlet of the flow guiding assembly is used to guide the heat generated by the operation of the compressor and condenser to the outside of the cabin.

[0007] Based on the above refrigerator structure, only a single airflow guide component needs to be added to the existing refrigerator structure to dynamically change the path and destination of the refrigerator's heat dissipation airflow. This allows the high-temperature airflow generated during refrigerator operation to be dynamically and intelligently guided to areas that are imperceptible or beneficial to occupants, thereby eliminating or reducing the impact of refrigerator heat generation on the cabin's internal temperature and improving the driving and riding comfort of the users. Furthermore, this refrigerator structure can achieve heat dissipation from the refrigerator structure simply by adding an airflow guide component, without requiring expensive and complex hardware modifications to the refrigerator's refrigeration core or other components such as the air conditioning system. The structure is simpler, less expensive, and easier to integrate into existing refrigerator structures.

[0008] In one possible design, the outlet of the heat diversion component is specifically used to divert heat to at least one location in the engine compartment, luggage compartment, and external environment. Diverting heat to the engine compartment or luggage compartment can be understood as diverting heat to any device or circuit within the engine compartment or luggage compartment that can exchange heat with the outside, such as the engine radiator circuit, the air conditioning cooling circuit, or an external passageway in the luggage compartment floor. Diverting heat to the external environment can be understood as diverting heat to the external environment through openings in the cabin shell. For example, in a vehicle, this could be achieved through openings in the cabin floor to the undercarriage, through openings on the side of the cabin to the surrounding body, or through openings in the roof to the roof, etc.

[0009] Based on the above design, the refrigerator's heat can be directed to at least one location outside the cabin via the airflow guiding component, instead of only blowing into the cabin. The location of the airflow can be flexibly selected according to the actual needs of the scenario, thereby improving the versatility of the refrigerator structure.

[0010] In one possible design, the outlet of the flow guiding component can be either single or multiple, for example: The outlet design includes a first outlet, which is used to direct heat to the cabin's air conditioning cooling circuit.

[0011] Based on the export design, the air conditioning system can be used to assist in cooling the refrigerator, achieving localized synergy between the refrigerator's waste heat and the air conditioning's cold source. Although this microscopically increases air conditioning energy consumption, macroscopically it avoids the common user behavior of blindly lowering the entire vehicle's air conditioning temperature to combat localized heat, thus helping to reduce the overall energy consumption of the equipment containing the refrigerator.

[0012] In one example of the outlet design, the first outlet is located at the air inlet of the air conditioner blower.

[0013] Based on the above example, the heat from the refrigerator is guided to the air inlet of the air conditioner blower through the first outlet, and then automatically drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit by the working blower to participate in air conditioning cooling. This design of the first outlet simplifies the process of guiding the refrigerator's heat to the air conditioning cooling circuit, making the refrigerator structure easier to lay out and apply in real-world vehicle scenarios.

[0014] The second outlet design includes a second outlet for diverting heat to the outside of the cabin floor.

[0015] Based on the second export design, the stable negative pressure generated in the chassis area when the cabin moves can be used to efficiently and quietly draw the refrigerator's heat out of the cabin. In this way, the entire refrigerator heat dissipation process is basically imperceptible to the occupants, which can effectively improve the occupants' riding experience.

[0016] In one example of the second exit design, the bottom plate has a first hole that connects the interior and exterior spaces of the cabin, and the second exit is embedded in the first hole.

[0017] Based on the above examples, hot air can be drawn in by opening holes in the bottom plate. This method is relatively easy to manufacture and has little impact on the structural stability of the vehicle.

[0018] In a further example, the refrigerator body is integrated into the center console, and the first hole is located in the bottom plate area below the center console.

[0019] Based on the above examples, the shortest airflow path can be achieved. The shorter the airflow path, the faster the refrigerator dissipates heat, and the higher the heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, the first hole is located below the center console, allowing the entire airflow assembly's pipes to be encapsulated inside the center console, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0020] In a further example, the refrigerator body is integrated into the center console, and the first opening is located in the bottom plate area inside the tailgate luggage compartment.

[0021] Based on the above examples, the existing openings in the suitcase can be used to help dissipate heat from the refrigerator without creating new holes in the cabin floor, thus minimizing the impact on the stability of the cabin structure.

[0022] The third outlet design includes a first outlet and a second outlet. The first outlet is used to guide heat to the cabin's air conditioning cooling circuit, and the second outlet is used to guide heat to the outside of the cabin floor.

[0023] Based on the export design, it supports the diversion of refrigerator heat to multiple locations outside the cabin to achieve the fastest and most efficient refrigerator heat dissipation.

[0024] To facilitate understanding, we will take Export Design 3 as an example to introduce other possible designs for the refrigerator structure.

[0025] In one example, a refrigerator structure is installed on a mobile device, with the inlet connected to at least one of the first and second outlets. The outlet connected to the inlet satisfies at least one of the following conditions: the mobile device is in air conditioning cooling mode, the inlet is connected to the first outlet, and heat is guided through the first outlet to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower and then drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit by the air conditioning blower; the mobile device is in a moving state, the inlet is connected to the second outlet, and heat is guided through the second outlet to the cabin floor and then drawn out of the cabin by the negative pressure generated by the movement of the mobile device.

[0026] Based on the above example, when the air conditioner in the mobile device is in cooling mode, the air conditioning cooling circuit is used to dissipate heat from the refrigerator. If the mobile device is in motion, the negative pressure generated by the movement at the bottom of the cabin is used to dissipate heat from the refrigerator. When both states are present, the air conditioning cooling circuit and the negative pressure at the bottom of the cabin work together to dissipate heat from the refrigerator. In this way, the direction of heat flow from the refrigerator will match the real-time operating status of the mobile device, ensuring that the mobile device avoids blowing heat from the refrigerator directly into the cabin regardless of the usage scenario, effectively improving the passenger experience.

[0027] In one example, the refrigerator body is integrated into the center console, which has air vents on its side with louvers installed at the vents. A cooling fan is located inside the refrigerator body. The louvers can be manual or motorized; there are no restrictions.

[0028] Based on the above example, this is equivalent to replacing the grille in the existing technology with louvers. The direction of the louvers is adjustable, and different louver directions have different air outlet angles and air flow rates, which can meet the air outlet needs of different scenarios and improve the flexibility of refrigerator heat dissipation.

[0029] In a further example, the refrigerator structure is mounted on a mobile device, and the speed of the cooling fan, the direction of the louver blades, and the outlet connected to the inlet of the airflow guide assembly satisfy at least one of the following conditions: Condition 1: The mobile device is in motion and there are occupants inside the cabin. The inlet of the airflow guide component is connected to the second outlet, the cooling fan is running at a non-maximum speed, and the louvers are tilted downwards. Essentially, in the driving occupant mode, the refrigerator's heat is actively diverted to the cabin floor. Utilizing the negative pressure generated by the moving area, the heat is efficiently and quietly drawn out of the cabin, completely imperceptible to the occupants, resulting in a better riding experience. Condition two: The mobile device is stationary, there are occupants in the cabin, and the air conditioning is on. The inlet of the airflow guide component is connected to the first outlet, the cooling fan is running at a non-maximum speed, and the louver blades are horizontal. Essentially, in parking air conditioning cooling mode, the heat from the refrigerator is actively directed to the vicinity of the air conditioning blower inlet, mixes with the existing hot air in the cabin, and is then drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit. After being cooled by the air conditioning evaporator, the occupants will not feel any hot air being blown out, resulting in a better riding experience. Condition 3: The mobile device is locked and there are no occupants inside the cabin. The inlet of the airflow guide assembly is disconnected from both the first and second outlets. The cooling fan is running at maximum speed, and the louver blades are horizontal. Essentially, with the cabin unoccupied, the refrigerator's heat is blown out of the vents at a horizontal angle and maximum flow rate to achieve the fastest possible heat dissipation from the refrigerator body, extending its lifespan. Condition four: The mobile device is in another state, the inlet of the airflow guide component is disconnected from both the first and second outlets, the cooling fan is running at a non-maximum speed, and the louver blades are tilted downwards. Essentially, when the usage state cannot be determined or is determined to be another usage state, the refrigerator's heat is blown out of the vents at an angle and with a smaller flow rate. Priority is given to ensuring that the hot air does not directly blow on the occupants, guaranteeing basic comfort, while also providing some cooling effect to the refrigerator body, ensuring the basic safety of the refrigerator body, and improving the reliability of refrigerator use.

[0030] In one example, the refrigerator body is integrated into the center console, and the ducts of the airflow guide assembly pass through the internal area of ​​the center console, connecting the inlet and outlet of the airflow guide assembly. For example, starting from the compressor and condenser location within the center console, the ducts pass through the internal area of ​​the center console and connect to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower and the floor of the cabin, respectively.

[0031] Based on the above examples, by placing the airflow guide assembly's pipes inside the center console, the impact on the cockpit's appearance can be reduced, maintaining the cockpit's aesthetics, while also protecting the airflow guide assembly and reducing the probability of it being pulled.

[0032] In one example, the airflow guiding assembly includes a multi-way airflow guiding duct, and / or includes at least one single-way airflow guiding duct. For example, it includes a two-way airflow guiding duct with its inlet located at the location of the compressor and condenser, and its two outlets located at the air inlet of the air conditioning blower and the cabin floor, respectively. Alternatively, it includes two single-way airflow guiding ducts, both with their inlets located at the location of the compressor and condenser, and their outlets located at the air inlet of the air conditioning blower and the cabin floor, respectively.

[0033] Based on the above examples, the entire flow guide component can be implemented through one multi-channel flow guide duct or multiple single-channel flow guide ducts, thereby improving the manufacturing flexibility of the flow guide component and reducing the difficulty of deploying the flow guide component to different application scenarios.

[0034] In one example, the flow guiding assembly further includes a switching element disposed on the pipe between the inlet and outlet of the flow guiding assembly, for controlling the connection or disconnection of the pipe between the inlet and outlet of the flow guiding assembly. For example, it includes a first switching element and a second switching element. The first switching element is disposed on the pipe between the inlet and a first outlet, for controlling the connection or disconnection of the pipe between the inlet and the first outlet; the second switching element is disposed on the pipe between the inlet and a second outlet, for controlling the connection or disconnection of the pipe between the inlet and the second outlet. Optionally, the first and second switching elements can be solenoid valves, such as normally closed or normally open solenoid valves, etc., without limitation.

[0035] Based on the above examples, using switching elements to realize the conduction and shutdown of pipelines has simple control logic, fast control efficiency, and low cost.

[0036] In one example, a refrigerator structure is mounted on a mobile device. The refrigerator structure also includes a control device connected to a flow guide component. The control device is used to acquire status information of the mobile device and, based on the status information, control the connection between the inlet and outlet of the flow guide component.

[0037] Based on the above examples, the controllers integrated into the refrigerator structure can be used to achieve automatic control of the airflow components in the refrigerator structure without relying on external components. This results in a higher degree of integration, stronger control capabilities, and better control flexibility in the refrigerator structure.

[0038] In a further example, the control device could be a refrigerator controller or a microcontroller integrated into the refrigerator structure.

[0039] Based on the above examples, it supports directly reusing the original refrigerator controller to control the refrigerator's heat dissipation, and it also supports controlling the refrigerator's heat dissipation separately by adding a microcontroller unit. Therefore, this refrigerator structure can be applied to different application scenarios and has good flexibility.

[0040] In a further example, where the outlet includes a first outlet and a second outlet, the control device is specifically configured to: connect the control inlet to the first outlet if the status information of the mobile device indicates that the mobile device is in an air-conditioning cooling state; and connect the control inlet to the second outlet if the status information of the mobile device indicates that the mobile device is in a moving state.

[0041] Based on the above examples, by combining the status information of the mobile device to achieve automatic control of the outlet connected to the airflow guide component, the actual heat dissipation direction of the refrigerator can be matched with the real-time status of the mobile device, which helps to improve the heat dissipation effect of the refrigerator.

[0042] In a further example, where the outlet includes a first outlet and a second outlet, and the refrigerator structure also includes a cooling fan and louvers, the control device is specifically configured to: if the status information of the mobile device indicates that the mobile device is in motion and there are occupants in the cabin, then control the inlet to connect with the second outlet, control the cooling fan to operate at a non-maximum speed, and control the direction of the louver blades to tilt downwards; if the status information of the mobile device indicates that the mobile device is stationary, there are occupants in the cabin, and the air conditioning is cooling, then control the inlet to connect with the first outlet, control the cooling fan to operate at a non-maximum speed, and control the direction of the louver blades to be horizontal; if the status information of the mobile device indicates that the mobile device is locked and there are no occupants in the cabin, then control the cooling fan to operate at the maximum speed and control the direction of the louver blades to be horizontal; if the status information of the mobile device indicates that the mobile device is in other states, then control the cooling fan to operate at a non-maximum speed and control the direction of the louver blades to tilt downwards.

[0043] Based on the above examples, by combining the status information of the mobile device to achieve combined control of fan speed, blade direction and airflow guide components, the actual heat dissipation direction of the refrigerator and the air outlet mode inside the compartment are matched with the real-time status of the mobile device, fundamentally eliminating the problem of "hot air disturbing the peace".

[0044] In a further example, when the mobile device is locked and there are no occupants in the cabin, the control device can also control the cooling fan to run at maximum speed for a first period of time before switching to a hibernation state. The first period of time is related to the cooling state of the refrigerator structure.

[0045] Based on the above examples, the cooling fan can be switched to sleep mode in a timely manner when heat dissipation is not required, in conjunction with the refrigerator's cooling status, in order to save unnecessary power consumption of the cooling fan and reduce the overall energy consumption of the device.

[0046] Secondly, this application provides a control method applied to a refrigerator structure shown in any of the designs or examples in the first aspect above, wherein the refrigerator structure is mounted on a mobile device. The control method can be executed by a control device, which can be a device within the refrigerator structure, such as a refrigerator controller, or a microcontroller integrated into the refrigerator structure. Alternatively, it can be a device outside the refrigerator structure, such as another controller within the mobile device containing the refrigerator structure, such as a cockpit controller, vehicle controller, or other vehicle-mounted control unit. Alternatively, it can be a device outside the mobile device, such as a cloud server, user terminal, roadside unit, or other vehicle, without limitation.

[0047] The control method includes: acquiring the status information of the mobile device, and controlling the connection between the inlet and outlet of the airflow guide component in the refrigerator structure based on the status information. The acquisition of the mobile device's status information can be performed periodically or in real-time after the mobile device is started. For example, the status information of the mobile device can be acquired periodically or in real-time during both high-power usage and low-power sleep processes.

[0048] In one possible design, when the outlet includes a first outlet and a second outlet, the connection between the inlet and outlet of the flow guiding component in the refrigerator structure is controlled according to the status information. Specifically, this may include: if the status information indicates that the mobile device is in the air conditioning cooling state, then the inlet is controlled to connect with the first outlet; if the status information indicates that the mobile device is in the moving state, then the inlet is controlled to connect with the second outlet.

[0049] In one possible design, where the outlet includes a first outlet and a second outlet, and the refrigerator structure also includes a cooling fan and louvers, the connection between the inlet and outlet of the airflow guiding component in the refrigerator structure is controlled according to status information. Specifically, this may include: if the status information indicates that the mobile device is moving and there are occupants in the cabin, then the inlet is connected to the second outlet, the cooling fan is controlled to operate at a non-maximum speed, and the louver blades are controlled to tilt downwards; if the status information indicates that the mobile device is stationary, there are occupants in the cabin, and the air conditioning is cooling, then the inlet is connected to the first outlet, the cooling fan is controlled to operate at a non-maximum speed, and the louver blades are controlled to be horizontal; if the status information indicates that the mobile device is locked and there are no occupants in the cabin, then the cooling fan is controlled to operate at the maximum speed, and the louver blades are controlled to be horizontal; if the status information indicates that the mobile device is in other states, then the cooling fan is controlled to operate at a non-maximum speed, and the louver blades are controlled to tilt downwards.

[0050] In one possible design, when the mobile device is locked and there are no occupants in the cabin, the cooling fan can be controlled to run at maximum speed for a first period of time before switching to hibernation mode. The first period of time is related to the cooling state of the refrigerator structure.

[0051] In one possible design, the status information of the mobile device includes at least one of the following: movement speed, engine status, door status, window status, occupant status, air conditioning switch status, blower status, air conditioning temperature status, seat pressure status, and in-cabin image information.

[0052] In one possible design, the status information of the mobile device indicates a state that satisfies at least one of the following: the status information indicates an air conditioning cooling state, including: the air conditioner is on, the blower is in a set position, and the target temperature is lower than the ambient temperature; the status information indicates a moving state, including: the engine is on, and the moving speed is greater than or equal to a first speed threshold; the status information indicates a stationary state, including: the moving speed is less than a second speed threshold, and the second speed threshold is less than or equal to the first speed threshold; the status information indicates a locked state, including: all doors are closed, and all windows are closed; the status information indicates a state with occupants in the cabin, including: at least one seat has a seat pressure greater than or equal to a set pressure threshold, and / or, the cabin image shows that there are occupants in the cabin; the status information indicates a state without occupants in the cabin, including: the seat pressure of all seats is less than a set pressure threshold, and / or, the cabin image shows that there are no occupants in the cabin.

[0053] Based on the above design, the mobile status can be comprehensively evaluated by combining multi-source information from mobile devices, thereby improving the accuracy of status recognition.

Detailed Implementation

[0081] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] The following provides explanations for some of the terms used in this application. It should be noted that these explanations are for the convenience of those skilled in the art and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0083] I. Cockpit interior and cockpit exterior.

[0084] Taking a vehicle as an example, the cabin interior refers to the enclosed space within the vehicle body, including the driver's cabin and passenger compartment, but excluding the engine compartment and luggage compartment. Simply put, everything that occupants use, see, touch, and interact with inside the car belongs to the cabin interior. Examples include, but are not limited to: cabin interior trim such as seats, dashboard, center console screen, door panels, headliner, and carpets; cabin electronic components such as the infotainment system, head-up display (HUD), ambient lighting, audio system, refrigerator, and air conditioning vents; cabin interactive components such as the steering wheel, buttons, voice capture devices, and charging devices; and cabin safety components such as airbags, seat belts, and in-vehicle cameras.

[0085] In contrast to the interior of the cabin, the exterior of the cabin refers to the vehicle's outer shell and all visible or exposed parts, including the engine compartment and luggage compartment. Simply put, the vehicle's external shell, sensing, protective components, and connections to the outside world all fall under the category of external cabin components. Examples include, but are not limited to: the vehicle body itself, such as doors, windows, roof, rearview mirrors, and door handles; exterior trim, such as bumpers, grilles, lights, wipers, and spoilers; and external sensing elements, such as lidar, millimeter-wave radar, surround-view cameras, and ultrasonic radar.

[0086] II. Negative pressure at the bottom of the hold.

[0087] When a vehicle is in motion, airflow around the body creates a negative pressure area. Undercarriage negative pressure refers to the negative pressure formed in the vehicle's chassis area. This negative pressure creates a downward suction force, also known as downforce, which helps the vehicle stay closer to the ground and provides greater stability. Generally, the narrower the undercarriage passage, the faster the airflow during vehicle movement, the lower the air pressure under the vehicle, and the easier it is to generate undercarriage negative pressure.

[0088] 3. Venetian blinds.

[0089] A louver is a grid-like structure composed of multiple parallel, movable blades, primarily used to control airflow, ventilation, heat dissipation, light blocking, or airflow. Taking ventilation as an example, when the louver blades are level (0°), the louver is completely horizontal, the channel is fully open, and the airflow is at its maximum. As the blades tilt upwards or downwards, the channel gradually narrows, air resistance increases, and the airflow gradually decreases. When the blade angle reaches 90°, the channel is completely closed, and the airflow is zero.

[0090] The preceding text introduced some of the terms used in this application. The following text introduces the possible application scenarios of this application.

[0091] In one possible application scenario, the refrigerator structure provided in this application can be installed in a vehicle, such as in the vehicle's cabin system. For example, it can be embedded within the center console of the cabin system as an embedded in-vehicle refrigerator. Figure 1 As shown, this embedded car refrigerator includes a refrigerator door and a refrigerator lid. The refrigerator door is located at the rear end of the center console, while the refrigerator lid is located above the center console. During vehicle use, front passengers can open the refrigerator lid above the center console to retrieve the refrigerated items. Rear passengers can open the refrigerator door at the rear end of the center console to retrieve the refrigerated items. Therefore, both front and rear passengers can enjoy a good refrigerator usage experience.

[0092] In addition, to keep items fresh, refrigerators need to cool their internal storage space, and this cooling process generates heat. To ensure that this heat is dissipated in a timely manner, such as... Figure 1 As shown, an air vent can also be provided on at least one side of the center console. A fan can be installed inside this vent to blow out the heat generated by the refrigerator, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains good cooling efficiency at all times. The location of the air vent is flexible; it can be installed on the rear side of the center console, the front side of the center console, or even below the refrigerator door—there are no restrictions.

[0093] Optionally, the above vehicles may include, but are not limited to: pure electric vehicles (pure EVs / battery EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), range-extended electric vehicles (REEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), or other new energy vehicles (NEVs). These vehicles can be used in fields such as intelligent driving, assisted driving, or connected vehicles.

[0094] It should be noted that the above application scenarios are merely examples. The refrigerator structure provided in this application can also be applied to other possible scenarios, and is not limited to those listed above. For example, the refrigerator structure can also be installed on other types of transportation, such as airplanes, trains, high-speed trains, RVs, ships, ferries, or passenger ships, to assist these vehicles in dissipating the heat generated by the refrigerator to the outside of the cabin, thereby reducing the impact of the refrigerator's heat on the cabin temperature and improving the user's travel experience. As another example, the refrigerator structure can also be applied in smart home scenarios, such as installing it in the kitchen. By guiding the heat generated by the refrigerator in the kitchen to the outdoor environment, the probability of high temperatures in the kitchen can be reduced, improving the user's smart home experience. Furthermore, the refrigerator structure can also be installed in supermarkets, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, shopping malls, tourist attractions, etc., to dissipate the heat from refrigerators installed in these locations to other locations, thereby improving the user's consumption or entertainment experience. Moreover, the refrigerator structure can also be applied in smart living scenarios, medical scenarios, and industrial scenarios, and so on. These will not be listed here in detail.

[0095] It should also be noted that the application scenarios described in this application are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in this application.

[0096] For example, taking the application of a refrigerator structure in a vehicle as an example, as described in the background art description, existing embedded vehicle refrigerators will have a certain interference with the cabin temperature when they are working. This is mainly due to the heat dissipation method adopted by existing embedded vehicle refrigerators.

[0097] Specifically, in existing built-in car refrigerators, the air vents are mainly located on the side of the center console. If the air vent's location is not properly designed, for example, if it's placed on the front side of the center console... Figure 2a As shown, the hot airflow from the vents will directly blow onto the driver's or front passenger's legs and hands, causing significant heat and severely interfering with driving and passenger comfort. Even if the vents are positioned appropriately, such as behind the center console, ... Figure 2b As shown, although the exhaust of hot air does not directly blow onto the driver or passengers, it is still exhausted into the cabin, causing the cabin temperature to rise, and the problem of "hot air disturbing the peace" still exists.

[0098] In response to this, and to reduce the impact of refrigerator heat generation on cabin temperature, several improvement solutions have been proposed in related technologies, mainly the following three: The first improvement plan considers utilizing the vehicle's air conditioning system to dissipate the heat generated by the refrigerator. The main idea is to modify the structure of the vehicle's air conditioning system by connecting the refrigerant circuit in parallel or in series with the refrigerator condenser. This allows the refrigerant circuit to exchange heat with both the air conditioning and refrigerator condensers simultaneously, achieving synchronized heat dissipation for both. However, this improvement plan is very complex and involves structural modifications to the entire vehicle's thermal management system, making it incompatible with existing vehicle thermal management systems. Furthermore, it is only effective in air conditioning cooling scenarios; when the air conditioning is not running, such as when the vehicle is idling or the air conditioning is not working, the problem of "hot air disturbing the peace" still exists. The second improvement plan considers optimizing the heat dissipation duct design of the vehicle refrigerator, such as by improving the shape of the heat dissipation duct and the layout of the internal fan to accelerate the removal of heat from the refrigerator. However, the core goal of this improvement plan is still to improve heat dissipation efficiency, without paying attention to the impact of the refrigerator's heat dissipation direction on the occupants, and thus it cannot solve the problem of "hot air disturbing the peace". The third improvement plan considers isolating or dispersing the heat generated by the refrigerator. This mainly involves placing the heat-generating components inside the refrigerator in areas away from the occupants, such as at the rear of the center console. The air vents are also positioned at the rear of the center console to reduce the heat felt by the occupants. However, when the refrigerator generates significant heat, the strong exhaust air from the vents will still blow hot air into the cabin, which passengers will notice, and this does not solve the problem of "hot air disturbing passengers."

[0099] In conclusion, while some improvements have been offered in related technologies, none of these solutions can fundamentally solve the problem of "hot air disturbing passengers." The technical challenge in designing the heat dissipation of in-vehicle refrigerators should not be simply "how to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the refrigerator in the center console," but rather: given the specific installation location of the center console, how to dynamically and intelligently guide the airflow to areas that are imperceptible or beneficial to passengers, while ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the refrigerator's core components, and achieve adaptive coordination with the overall vehicle status. Only in this way can the interference of hot air on cabin comfort be completely eliminated. Only by solving this problem can the issue of "hot air disturbing passengers" be fundamentally eradicated.

[0100] In view of this, this application provides a refrigerator structure for intelligent airflow guidance and coordinated heat dissipation that can be applied to a center console embedded in-vehicle refrigerator. The core concept is to dynamically change the path and destination of the refrigerator's heat dissipation airflow by using a set of controllable and adjustable physical airflow guidance components, combined with real-time perception of information such as vehicle operating status and occupant presence status, so as to change the heat dissipation behavior from "hot air disturbing people" to "scene adaptive and imperceptible", thereby minimizing the impact of refrigerator heat generation on cabin temperature and improving the user's riding experience.

[0101] Based on the above, the following is in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 3 To be continued Figure 21 This application provides a detailed description of the refrigerator structure and related solutions provided.

[0102] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "coupling," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly defined. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0103] Furthermore, in this application, any references to "position," "value," "direction," or similar terms do not refer to absolute positions, absolute values, or absolute directions, and some differences are permissible. For example, similar positions, similar values, or similar directions are allowed, mainly due to factors such as process manufacturing errors or actual scenario requirements, and no specific restrictions are imposed.

[0104] Please see Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a possible architecture of a refrigerator structure provided in this application. In this architecture, the refrigerator structure 300 is integrated into the cabin. The refrigerator structure 300 includes a refrigerator body 310 and a flow guiding assembly 320. The refrigerator body 310 houses a compressor 311 and a condenser 312. The flow guiding assembly 320 includes an inlet A and an outlet B. Inlet A is located in the area where the compressor 311 and condenser 312 are located, and outlet B is used to guide the heat generated by the compressor 311 and condenser 312 to the outside of the cabin.

[0105] For ease of explanation, the heat generated by the compressor 311 and condenser 312 will be referred to as refrigerator heat in the following text.

[0106] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, outlet B directs the refrigerator's heat to the outside of the cabin, including but not limited to at least one of the following methods: In the first diversion method, outlet B includes a first outlet B1, which is used to divert heat from the refrigerator to the engine compartment. For example, the heat can be diverted to any component or circuit in the engine compartment that has a heat exchange function, such as the air conditioning cooling circuit or the engine radiator circuit. Taking diverting heat to the air conditioning cooling circuit as an example, the air conditioning cooling circuit refers to the circuit that exchanges heat with the hot air in the cabin space when the cabin air conditioning is in cooling mode. By diverting the refrigerator heat to the air conditioning cooling circuit, it is equivalent to using the air conditioning system to simultaneously cool the cabin and the refrigerator. Since the air conditioning system exchanges heat with the external environment during operation, it is equivalent to using the air conditioning system as an intermediate medium to dissipate heat from the refrigerator to the external environment. The second diversion method involves outlet B including a second outlet B2, which diverts heat from the refrigerator to the external environment. For example, heat can be diverted to the external environment through any external channel on the cabin shell. For instance, the second outlet B2 is embedded within an external channel on the cabin shell, which can be located on the cabin floor, side, door, or roof, etc. Regardless of its location, during cabin movement, a negative pressure is generated around the cabin. This negative pressure draws heat from the refrigerator inside the cabin out through the external channel on the cabin shell, allowing for direct heat dissipation to the external environment. The third airflow diversion method involves outlet B, which includes a third outlet B3, used to divert heat to the luggage compartment. For example, the heat can be diverted to any location within the luggage compartment. Optionally, it can also be further diverted to the external environment through an external passage on the cabin shell within the luggage compartment. This diversion method is suitable for scenarios where the luggage compartment and cabin are not connected, effectively sacrificing the temperature of the luggage compartment to improve cabin comfort.

[0107] It should be noted that, in addition to the three airflow diversion methods mentioned above, other airflow diversion methods may also exist. In actual refrigerator structures, any airflow diversion method that can divert refrigerator heat to any location without affecting the cabin temperature, including diversion methods that divert heat to the outside of the cabin and diversion methods that divert heat to the inside of the cabin, is within the scope of protection of this application, and this application does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0108] For example, taking the above three flow guidance methods as examples, there are multiple possible flow guidance component structures that can realize the above three flow guidance methods.

[0109] For example, in one possible structure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the airflow guiding assembly 320 includes a multi-port airflow guiding duct. This multi-port airflow guiding duct has an inlet A and multiple outlets, such as a first outlet B1, a second outlet B2, and a third outlet B3. Inlet A is located in the area where the compressor 311 and condenser 312 are located, and is used to receive the heat generated by the operation of the compressor 311 and condenser 312, i.e., refrigerator heat. The first outlet B1 connects to the engine compartment, and is used to guide the refrigerator heat to the engine compartment. The second outlet B2 connects to the external environment, and is used to guide the refrigerator heat to the external environment. The third outlet B3 connects to the luggage compartment, and is used to guide the refrigerator heat to the luggage compartment.

[0110] Optionally, inlet A can be connected to any and multiple outlets B1 to B3. For example, each of the three pipes between inlet A and the three outlets B1 to B3 is equipped with a switching element, such as a solenoid valve. For any outlet, when the switching element on the pipe between inlet A and that outlet is turned on, the pipe between inlet A and that outlet is connected, and the refrigerator heat can be discharged outward along that pipe. When the switching element on the pipe is turned off, the pipe between inlet A and that outlet is also disconnected, and the refrigerator heat cannot be discharged outward along that pipe.

[0111] For ease of understanding, let's take the example of a pipeline with solenoid valves installed on both inlet A and the three outlets B1~B3. We'll mark the on state of the solenoid valve as 1 and the off state as 0. Then... Figure 4 The heat dissipation path of the refrigerator structure 300 shown is shown in Table 1 below: Table 1: Heat dissipation path of the refrigerator

[0112] Combining Table 1 and Figure 4 Let's examine the process. When all three solenoid valves on the pipes are activated, heat from the refrigerator enters the multi-way duct from inlet A and is then guided along the three connected pipes to the three outlets B1-B3, subsequently dissipating heat to the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment, maximizing refrigerator heat dissipation. When only two solenoid valves are activated, heat enters the multi-way duct from inlet A and is guided along the two connected pipes to the two outlets, dissipating heat to two locations in the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment, also achieving relatively significant heat dissipation. When only one solenoid valve is activated, heat enters the multi-way duct from inlet A and is guided along the connected pipe to one outlet, dissipating heat to one location in the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment, also aiding in refrigerator heat dissipation. When all solenoid valves on all pipes are activated, heat from the refrigerator is not conducted to the engine compartment, the external environment, or the luggage compartment. In this case, heat can be dissipated through the original methods, such as dissipating heat into the cabin, to accommodate refrigerator heat dissipation needs when external cabin cooling is unavailable.

[0113] In another possible structure, such as Figure 5As shown, the airflow guiding assembly 320 includes multiple single-pass airflow guiding ducts, such as single-pass airflow guiding duct 321, single-pass airflow guiding duct 322, and single-pass airflow guiding duct 323. Each of the three single-pass airflow guiding ducts 321-323 has one inlet and one outlet. For example, single-pass airflow guiding duct 321 has inlet A1 and outlet B1, single-pass airflow guiding duct 322 has inlet A2 and outlet B2, and single-pass airflow guiding duct 323 has inlet A3 and outlet B3. The inlets A1, A2, and A3 of the three single-pass airflow guiding ducts 321-323 are all located in the area where the compressor 311 and condenser 312 are located, and the outlets B1, B2, and B3 are used to connect to the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment, respectively.

[0114] Similar to multi-port ductwork, each single-port duct can have a switching element, such as a solenoid valve, installed on the pipe between its inlet and outlet. When the switching element on a single-port duct is turned on, heat from the refrigerator can be exhausted along that single-port duct. When the switching element is turned off, heat from the refrigerator is not exhausted along that single-port duct.

[0115] For ease of understanding, let's take the example of three single-way guide ducts 321-323 each equipped with a solenoid valve. The on state of the solenoid valve is marked as 1, and the off state as 0. Then... Figure 5 The heat dissipation path of the refrigerator structure 300 shown is shown in Table 2 below: Table 2: Heat dissipation path of the refrigerator

[0116] Combine Table 2 and Figure 5 Let's examine the process. When all the solenoid valves in the three single-way air ducts 321-323 are activated, the refrigerator heat is transferred along these ducts to the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment, respectively, maximizing refrigerator heat dissipation. When only the solenoid valves in two of the single-way air ducts are activated, the refrigerator heat is transferred along these two ducts to two locations within the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment, achieving relatively large refrigerator heat dissipation. When only the solenoid valve in one of the single-way air ducts is activated, the refrigerator heat is transferred along that duct to one of the locations within the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment, also assisting in refrigerator heat dissipation. When all the solenoid valves in the three single-way air ducts are deactivated, the refrigerator heat is not transferred to the engine compartment, the external environment, or the luggage compartment. In this case, the refrigerator heat can be exhausted into the cabin to meet the refrigerator's heat dissipation needs and ensure normal refrigerator function.

[0117] By adopting the above refrigerator structure and adding a heat-guiding component, the refrigerator's heat can be diverted to one or more locations outside the cabin, instead of only blowing it into the cabin. This allows for effective heat dissipation from the refrigerator while minimizing or eliminating heat loss into the cabin, thus reducing the impact of refrigerator heat generation on the cabin temperature and improving user comfort. Furthermore, this refrigerator structure achieves heat dissipation simply by adding a heat-guiding component, without requiring modifications to the core components inside the refrigerator or the structure of other components within the cabin. It allows for heat dissipation while utilizing existing infrastructure, making it relatively easy to implement and facilitating its widespread application to various devices with cabin space.

[0118] Examples include various types of equipment with cabin space, including but not limited to: vehicles, airplanes, trains, high-speed trains or other mobile devices.

[0119] To facilitate understanding, the following example uses the application of refrigerator structure 300 to mobile devices such as vehicles to illustrate the specific implementation of refrigerator structure 300.

[0120] However, it should be understood that the implementation of the refrigerator structure 300 described below can also be applied to other mobile devices besides vehicles, as well as other devices or scenarios with cockpits besides mobile devices, without specific limitations.

[0121] Optionally, when the refrigerator structure 300 is applied to a vehicle, it can be integrated into the vehicle's cabin body. The refrigerator structure 300 includes a refrigerator body 310 and a heat diversion assembly 320. The structure of the refrigerator body 310 can directly utilize existing refrigerator structures in related technologies without modification. The heat diversion assembly 320 is a newly added structure. It is used to divert the heat generated by the refrigerator body 310 to the outside of the cabin body.

[0122] The possible structures of the refrigerator body 310 and the airflow guide assembly 320 in the vehicle will be described separately below.

[0123] Refrigerator body 310

[0124] The refrigerator body 310, also known as the refrigerator assembly, can be integrated into the vehicle's center console, especially at the rear end of the center console, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0125] For example, the refrigerator body 310 is removed from... Figure 6 Take it out from the center console shown, and you can get Figure 7 The overall structure is shown. By disassembling this overall structure, we can obtain... Figure 8 The shell structure 313 shown and Figure 9 The internal structure 314 is shown.

[0126] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 Let's take a look. The outer shell structure 313 mainly includes a cabinet 3131 and a lid 3132. The lid 3132 is fastened to the cabinet 3131, forming a complete refrigerator outer shell. The internal structure 314 is installed inside the refrigerator outer shell and mainly includes: a refrigerator liner 3141, a storage drawer 3142, a drawer slide 3143, an evaporator 3144, a compressor 311, a condenser 312, a cooling fan 315, and a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve may include, but is not limited to, a three-way solenoid valve 3145 and a two-way single solenoid valve 3146. The evaporator 3144 includes a refrigeration evaporator and a freezing evaporator. The refrigeration evaporator is composed of... Figure 9 The solid line in the image shows that the freeze evaporator is composed of... Figure 9 The dotted lines in the diagram indicate this. The refrigeration evaporator and the freezing evaporator are attached to the inner wall of the refrigerator liner 3141, while the drawer slide 3143 is fixed to the bottom of the refrigerator liner 3141. The bottom surface of the storage drawer 3142 rests flat on the drawer slide 3143 and is pushed into the refrigerator liner 3141 along the drawer slide 3143, thus forming a complete internal structure 314. The complete internal structure 314 is then embedded in the shell structure 313 and encapsulated into the central control panel to obtain... Figure 6 The integrated structure shown.

[0127] In some examples, the cooling fan 315 can be mounted near the compressor 311 and the condenser 312, for example, integrated with the condenser 312, such as... Figure 9 As shown. The compressor 311 and condenser 312 are the main heat-generating components in the refrigerator body 310. By installing the cooling fan 315 near these two components, the cooling fan 315 can blow the air around the compressor 311 and condenser 312, so that the heat generated by the operation of the compressor 311 and condenser 312 can be more easily mixed with the flowing air and discharged from the control panel in the form of hot air.

[0128] In some examples, to achieve the goal of exhausting hot air from the center console, such as... Figure 6 As shown, an air vent can also be provided on the side shell of the center console. This air vent can be located anywhere on the side shell of the center console, but is preferably near the cooling fan 315. This allows the hot air generated by the cooling fan 315 during rotation to be more easily blown out from the air vent, helping to accelerate the heat dissipation of the refrigerator body 310.

[0129] Optionally, to achieve the desired heat dissipation effect, the air vents must have a certain area. In this case, to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance and prevent foreign objects from entering the center console, an insulating element is usually installed at the air vent. According to relevant technical designs, the insulating element is typically designed as a grille, such as... Figure 10As shown in (A). However, the grille is a fixed air outlet element, and its air volume and direction are not adjustable. Therefore, it cannot meet the different air outlet effects required by users, resulting in poor flexibility in refrigerator heat dissipation.

[0130] To solve this problem, such as Figure 6 As shown, this application installs louvers 316 at the air outlet, instead of a grille. The louvers 316 can be manual louvers, such as... Figure 10 As shown in (B). It can also be an electric venetian blind, such as... Figure 10 As shown in (C). If it's a manual louver, the user can manually adjust the direction of the louvers to change the angle and flow rate of the hot air from the refrigerator blowing into the cabin. If it's an electric louver, it has its own motor, such as a micro stepper motor. The vehicle can control this micro stepper motor to adjust the direction of the louver blades, automatically adjusting the angle and flow rate of the hot air from the refrigerator blowing into the cabin without the user's awareness, thus improving the intelligence of the refrigerator's heat dissipation.

[0131] In some examples, the slat angle of the venetian blind 316 has an upper limit angle and a lower limit angle. The lower limit angle is generally 0°, representing the angle when the venetian blind 316 is fully closed. The upper limit angle can be any angle less than or equal to 180°. Optionally, the upper limit angle can be designed by those skilled in the art based on experience, or it can be configured based on test results in actual scenarios. For example, in one example, to avoid the refrigerator's hot air blowing directly at an upward angle onto the user's face or neck, resulting in an unpleasant heat experience, the upper limit angle can be configured to 120°. In this case, the slat angle of the venetian blind can be adjusted continuously or in increments within the range of 0° to 120° to improve the flexibility of hot air delivery.

[0132] Furthermore, the number of slats in the 316 louver can be designed with reference to the size of the air vent in the actual scenario. For example, in one example, referencing the air vent size of an existing vehicle, a five-slat louver could be designed. When fully closed, the five-slat louver fits together seamlessly, eliminating gaps and resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Moreover, when fully open, the five-slat louver does not obstruct each other, allowing for a relatively large airflow, sufficient for the refrigerator's cooling needs. Thus, choosing a five-slat louver balances the refrigerator's cooling requirements with aesthetic appeal.

[0133] Flow guide component 320

[0134] Optionally, when the refrigerator body 310 is integrated into the center console, the duct of the airflow guide assembly 320 can pass through the internal area of ​​the center console and connect to at least one space in the engine compartment, the external environment, and the luggage compartment. In this case, the duct of the airflow guide assembly 320 can be completely or at least partially located in the internal area of ​​the center console so that the airflow guide assembly 320 is not visible to the user, thereby improving the aesthetics of the entire refrigerator structure 300.

[0135] For an example of implementing the internal design of the flow guide component piping, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 11 This diagram illustrates the specific structure of a flow guide component 320 provided in this application within the center console. (Combined with...) Figure 11 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 In this example, the airflow guiding component 320 includes a first airflow guiding duct 32a. The inlet A1 of the first airflow guiding duct 32a is located in the area where the compressor 311 and condenser 312 are located in the refrigerator body 310, and the outlet B1 of the first airflow guiding duct 32a is located in the area where the air conditioner blower is located, for example, at the air inlet of the air conditioner blower. The first airflow guiding duct 32a is used to guide the heat generated by the operation of the compressor 311 and condenser 312 to the air inlet of the air conditioner blower. Thus, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the air conditioner blower operates, drawing the hot air from the cabin at the air inlet and the refrigerator hot air guided by the first airflow guiding duct 32a into the air conditioning cooling circuit, thereby achieving the effect of simultaneously cooling the cabin and the refrigerator body 310 using the air conditioning cooling circuit.

[0136] In another example, for the internal design of the flow guide component piping, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 12 This diagram illustrates the specific structure of another flow guiding component 320 provided in this application within the center console. Figure 12 As shown, in this example, the airflow guiding assembly 320 includes a second airflow guiding duct 32b. The inlet A2 of the second airflow guiding duct 32b is located in the area where the compressor 311 and condenser 312 are located, and the outlet B2 of the second airflow guiding duct 32b is located at the bottom plate of the cabin and connects to the outside of the cabin. The second airflow guiding duct 32b is used to guide the heat generated by the operation of the compressor 311 and condenser 312 to the external area of ​​the bottom plate of the cabin. Thus, when the cabin is in motion, a stable negative pressure is generated on the outside of the bottom plate of the cabin due to the movement of the cabin. This stable negative pressure can actively draw the hot air from the refrigerator out of the cabin from the second airflow guiding duct 32b, so that the heat from the refrigerator can be directly discharged to the external environment.

[0137] In the above description, the outlet B2 of the second guide duct 32b is located at the cockpit floor. Specifically, this can be achieved by creating an opening in the cockpit floor and embedding the outlet B2 within the opening. For example, as... Figure 12As shown, a first hole K is first opened on the bottom plate of the cabin, and the first hole K is connected to the internal space and external space of the cabin. Then, the outlet B2 of the second guide air duct 32b is embedded in the first hole K, so that the second guide air duct 32b can directly connect the area where the compressor 311 and condenser 312 are located with the external space of the cabin, realizing the negative pressure discharge scheme.

[0138] Optionally, the first hole K can be located anywhere on the cockpit floor, depending on the specific requirements of the scenario. For example, if the scenario requires the shortest possible pipe length, then... Figure 12 As shown, the first hole K can be directly opened in the base plate area below the center console, and the second air guide duct 32b can be directly connected to the first hole K on the bottom plate of the center console through the internal area of ​​the center console, without any intermediate bends. However, if the actual scenario requires reusing existing components as much as possible, then... Figure 13 As shown, the second air duct 32b can pass through the interior area of ​​the center console and the bottom area of ​​the cabin before connecting to the existing first hole K on the luggage compartment floor, without needing to drill a new hole on the floor.

[0139] In some examples, a corrugated pipe can be pre-embedded under the floor mat in the driver's cabin, leading to the area below the center console floor, the luggage compartment floor, or the spare tire compartment floor at the rear. The inlet of this corrugated pipe is located directly below the center console. When the second air duct 32b is needed, its outlet B2 can be manually or electrically connected to the inlet of the corrugated pipe, allowing the refrigerator's heat to be transferred sequentially through the second air duct 32b and the corrugated pipe to the outside space, thereby utilizing the negative pressure outside the vehicle to draw out the refrigerator's heat.

[0140] The above describes two air ducts: a first guide duct 32a and a second guide duct 32b. The first guide duct 32a is used in conjunction with the air conditioning system to cool the refrigerator; it can also be called an air conditioning co-cooling duct or air conditioning co-cooling channel. The location of the outlet of the first guide duct 32a can also be called an air conditioning co-cooling interface. The second guide duct 32b uses negative pressure to expel heat from the refrigerator; it can also be called a negative pressure exhaust duct or negative pressure exhaust channel. The location of the outlet of the second guide duct 32b can also be called a negative pressure exhaust interface.

[0141] In one example, the first guide duct 32a and the second guide duct 32b can be the same guide duct, such as a two-way guide duct with one inlet and two outlets. In this case, the inlet A1 of the first guide duct 32a and the inlet A2 of the second guide duct 32b are the same inlet, and the outlet B1 of the first guide duct 32a and the outlet B2 of the second guide duct 32b serve as the two outlets of the two-way guide duct.

[0142] In another example, the first air duct 32a and the second air duct 32b are different air ducts, for example, two single-pass air ducts. The inlets of both single-pass air ducts are located in the area where the compressor 311 and the condenser 312 are located. The outlet of one single-pass air duct is aligned with or connected to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower to simultaneously cool the refrigerator using the air conditioning refrigeration circuit, while the outlet of the other single-pass air duct leads to a non-enclosed passageway pre-embedded under the driver's cabin floor that connects to the outside of the vehicle to absorb heat from the refrigerator using the negative pressure effect during driving.

[0143] Optionally, during vehicle use, only one of the first guide duct 32a and the second guide duct 32b may be open, all of them may be open, or none of them may be open, depending on the current usage status of the vehicle.

[0144] For example, please see Figure 14 This diagram illustrates the working logic of a flow guiding component provided in this application. (Combined with...) Figure 14 , Figures 11 to 13 Let's take a look. According to the vehicle status recognition results, if the vehicle is in air conditioning cooling mode, the first air duct 32a is open, and the heat from the refrigerator is guided through the first air duct 32a to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower and then drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit by the blower. If the vehicle is moving, the second air duct 32b is open, and the heat from the refrigerator is guided through the second air duct 32b to the cabin floor and then sucked out of the cabin by the negative pressure generated by the vehicle's movement. If the vehicle is both in air conditioning cooling mode and moving, both the first air duct 32a and the second air duct 32b are open. Part of the heat from the refrigerator is guided through the first air duct 32a to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower and then drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit, while the other part is guided through the second air duct 32b to the cabin floor and then sucked out of the cabin by the negative pressure. When the vehicle is neither in air conditioning cooling mode nor in motion, neither the first air duct 32a nor the second air duct 32b is connected. The heat from the refrigerator is then dissipated through the other air ducts, or... Figure 9 As shown, the cooling fan 315 inside the refrigerator body 310 blows hot air out of the air outlet onto the control panel.

[0145] For example, in combination Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figures 11 to 13 Let's take a look. When louvers 316 are installed at the air outlet, besides the air duct being related to the vehicle's current operating status, the direction of the louvers 316 and the rotational speed of the cooling fan 315 are also related to the vehicle's current operating status. For example, please refer to... Figure 15 This illustrates a schematic diagram of the working logic of another flow guiding component provided in this application. Combined with... Figure 15 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figures 11 to 13 Let's take a look at the vehicle status recognition results: When the vehicle is moving and there are occupants in the cabin, the vehicle is currently in occupant mode, prioritizing passenger comfort. In this mode, the second air duct 32b is open, and the cooling fan 315 operates at a non-maximum speed, with the louvers 316 tilted downwards. This configuration, with the cooling fan 315 at a non-maximum speed, allows the refrigerator's hot air to flow slowly, smoothly entering the second air duct 32b and being guided to the under-cabin passage. Utilizing the stable negative pressure generated by the chassis during vehicle movement, the refrigerator's heat is efficiently and quietly drawn out of the vehicle. Even if some remaining hot air fails to enter the second air duct 32b, it can still be blown out through the louvers 316 at a downward angle and with a relatively small flow rate, completely imperceptible to the occupants, resulting in a comfortable ride. When the vehicle is stationary, there are occupants in the cabin, and the air conditioning is on, the vehicle is currently in parking air conditioning cooling mode, prioritizing passenger comfort. In this mode, the first air duct 32a is open, the cooling fan 315 operates at a non-maximum speed, and the louvers 316 are horizontal. With this configuration, at the non-maximum speed of the cooling fan 315, the hot air from the refrigerator can be slowly circulated, allowing it to smoothly enter the first air duct 32a and be actively guided to the vicinity of the air conditioning blower inlet. There, it mixes with the existing hot air in the vehicle and is drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit, where it is cooled by the evaporator. Even if some of the remaining hot air fails to enter the first air duct 32a, it can still be blown out through the louvers 316 at a horizontal jet angle and maximum flow rate, mixing with the cooled air in the cabin and being directly cooled. Passengers will not feel any hot air being blown out, resulting in a better riding experience. When the vehicle is locked and there are no occupants in the cabin, it is determined that the occupants have left the vehicle. Passenger comfort is no longer a concern; the primary objective is refrigerator cooling, and the vehicle is currently in a high-efficiency independent cooling mode. In this mode, both the first and second air ducts 32a and 32b are disconnected, and the cooling fan 315 operates at maximum speed, with the louvers 316 blades pointing horizontally. With this configuration, the cooling fan 315 operates at full speed, rapidly circulating the hot air from the refrigerator. This allows the hot air to be blown out through the louvers 316 at a horizontal jet angle and maximum flow rate, achieving the fastest possible cooling of the refrigerator body 310 and extending its service life. When the vehicle is in other states, such as when its state cannot be detected, or when it is in a state other than the three states mentioned above, the most conservative strategy is adopted, determining that the vehicle is currently in the default safety mode. In this mode, both the first air duct 32a and the second air duct 32b are disconnected, and the cooling fan 315 operates at a non-maximum speed, with the louvers 316 tilted downwards. With this configuration, at the non-maximum speed of the cooling fan 315, the hot air from the refrigerator can be slowly circulated, allowing it to pass through the louvers 316 at a downward jet angle and with a small flow rate. This prioritizes ensuring that the hot air from the refrigerator does not blow directly onto the occupants, ensuring basic comfort, while also providing some cooling to the refrigerator body 310, ensuring the basic safety of the refrigerator body 310. This achieves a balance between user experience and refrigerator performance.

[0146] It should be noted that the above content only uses four possible vehicle states as examples to introduce the possible working logic of each component in the refrigerator structure 300 when implementing the refrigerator heat dissipation scheme. However, in actual refrigerator heat dissipation schemes, other vehicle states may exist, or the above four vehicle states may be further divided into more refined vehicle states, or at least two of the above vehicle states may be combined into a single vehicle state, etc. The corresponding component working logic can also be adaptively adjusted based on the actual state classification method without specific limitations.

[0147] In one possible implementation, to implement the working logic of each of the above components, such as... Figure 16 As shown, a control device 1610 can also be set.

[0148] In one example, the control device 1610 is a component integrated inside the refrigerator structure 300, such as a refrigerator controller, or a micro controller unit (MCU) separately located in the refrigerator structure 300. The MCU is connected to the vehicle bus, for example, through an adapter module connected to the vehicle bus via an on-board diagnosis (OBD) interface, in order to obtain the required vehicle status signals from the vehicle bus.

[0149] In another example, the control device 1610 is a component located outside the refrigerator structure 300, such as other control devices in the vehicle, such as a cockpit domain controller, vehicle controller or other vehicle control unit, or a microcontroller integrated in the vehicle, or it can be other devices besides the vehicle, such as a cloud server, user terminal, roadside unit or other vehicle, without specific limitations.

[0150] Whether integrated inside the refrigerator structure 300 or located outside the refrigerator structure 300, such as Figure 16As shown, the control device 1610 can be connected to the airflow guide assembly 320 in the refrigerator structure 300. Optionally, it is also connected to the cooling fan 315 in the refrigerator structure 300 and the louvers 316 of the center console housing. The louvers 316 are designed as motorized louvers. The control device 1610 is specifically connected to the motor of the motorized louvers. The control device 1610 is also connected to the sensor 1620. In a vehicle scenario, the sensor 1620 specifically refers to an on-board sensor. The control device 1610 connects to the on-board sensor, for example, by connecting it to the vehicle bus to achieve an indirect connection with the on-board sensor.

[0151] In one example, control device 1610 is used to control the connection mode of flow guide assembly 320 in refrigerator structure 300.

[0152] For example, please see Figure 17 The diagram shows a flow chart of a control method provided in this application, which mainly includes the following steps: Step 1701: Obtain vehicle status information.

[0153] Optionally, after the vehicle is started, the control device 1610 can periodically or in real-time acquire the vehicle's status information to periodically or in real-time execute control operations on the refrigerator's heat dissipation. Each time status information is acquired, the control device 1610 can read the multi-source signals uploaded to the vehicle bus by various sensors 1620 in the vehicle, and obtain various types of vehicle status information by parsing these multi-source signals.

[0154] Step 1702: Based on the status information, control the connection between the inlet and outlet of the flow guiding component in the vehicle refrigerator structure.

[0155] Here, if the airflow guiding assembly 320 includes a multi-way airflow guiding duct, then the control device 1610 can, based on the acquired status information, control the connection between the inlet of the multi-way airflow guiding duct and at least one of the multiple outlets. For example, when the vehicle is moving, the inlet of the multi-way airflow guiding duct is connected to an outlet located at the floor of the passenger compartment, so as to utilize the negative pressure generated by the vehicle's movement to draw heat from the refrigerator out of the vehicle. When the vehicle is in air conditioning cooling mode, the inlet of the multi-way airflow guiding duct is connected to an outlet located at the air conditioning blower inlet, so as to utilize the suction force after the air conditioning blower starts to draw heat from the refrigerator into the air conditioning cooling circuit, thereby participating in the air conditioning cooling process.

[0156] If the airflow guiding assembly 320 includes multiple single-pass airflow guiding ducts, then the control device 1610 can control at least one of the multiple single-pass airflow guiding ducts to connect based on the acquired status information. For example, when the vehicle is in motion, the control device 1610 can control the single-pass airflow guiding duct corresponding to the position of the cabin floor to connect. Figure 12 or Figure 13The second air duct 32b is connected to utilize the negative pressure generated under the vehicle's cabin during vehicle movement to draw heat from the refrigerator outside. When the vehicle is in air conditioning cooling mode, the single-pass air duct corresponding to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower is controlled as follows: Figure 11 The first air duct 32a is connected to the air conditioner to draw heat from the refrigerator into the air conditioning refrigeration circuit by utilizing the suction force after the air conditioner blower is started.

[0157] By using the above control method, the heat from the refrigerator can be actively guided to at least one location outside the vehicle cabin by controlling the pipes connected to the airflow guiding component. This reduces the amount of heat from the refrigerator that needs to be blown into the cabin, lowers the impact of the refrigerator's heat generation on the cabin's internal temperature, and improves passenger comfort.

[0158] In another example, the control device 1610 can control not only the heat dissipation method of the airflow guiding component 320 in the refrigerator structure 300, but also the operating status of the cooling fan 315 and the louvered fan 316 at the air outlet. In this case, please refer to... Figure 18 This illustrates a flowchart of another control method provided in this application. (Combined with...) Figure 16 and Figure 18 Let's take a look. The overall logic of this control method includes the following steps: Step 1801, Begin.

[0159] Here, control device 1610 detects that the vehicle has been started.

[0160] The term "vehicle on" includes both a high-power usage state and a low-power standby state, without limitation.

[0161] Step 1802: Acquire multi-source signals in real time.

[0162] Here, the control device 1610 can periodically or in real time acquire sensor signals collected by multiple source sensors in the vehicle, referred to as multi-source signals.

[0163] In some examples, multi-source signals include, but are not limited to: vehicle speed signals, engine start / stop status signals, door open / close status signals, window open / close status signals, air conditioning switch signals, blower speed signals, air conditioning temperature signals, detection signals from seat sensors, image signals from in-cabin cameras, and infrared signals from in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle infrared sensors.

[0164] Step 1803: Based on the multi-source signals, determine whether the vehicle is in motion and the occupants are seated. If yes, proceed to step 1804; otherwise, proceed to step 1806.

[0165] Optionally, whether the vehicle is in motion can be determined based on the vehicle speed signal and the engine start / stop status signal. For example, based on these two signals, if the engine is determined to be on and the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first speed threshold, such as greater than or equal to 5 km / h, then the vehicle is determined to be in motion. Conversely, if the engine is determined to be off and / or the vehicle speed is less than the first speed threshold, such as less than 5 km / h, then the vehicle is determined to be not in motion.

[0166] Optionally, whether the vehicle is in a seated state can be determined based on the detection signals from the seat sensors, the image signals from the in-cabin camera, and the infrared signals from the in-vehicle infrared sensors. For example, based on at least one of the three signals, if it is determined that the seat pressure of at least one seat in the vehicle is greater than or equal to a set pressure threshold, and / or, it is determined that the in-cabin image captured by the in-cabin camera shows the presence of an occupant in the cabin, and / or, it is determined that the infrared signal from the in-vehicle infrared sensor shows the presence of an occupant in the cabin, then the vehicle is determined to be in a seated state. Conversely, if it is determined that the seat pressure of all seats in the vehicle is less than a set pressure threshold, and / or, it is determined that the in-cabin image captured by the in-cabin camera shows no occupant in the cabin, and / or, it is determined that the infrared signal from the in-vehicle infrared sensor shows no occupant in the cabin, then the vehicle is determined to be in a seatless state.

[0167] Step 1804: Determine that the vehicle is in driving / occupant mode.

[0168] Here, when the vehicle is in motion and occupants are detected, the vehicle is determined to be in driving occupant mode.

[0169] Step 1805: Control the heat flow of the refrigerator to the negative pressure area of ​​the floor, and use the negative pressure of the vehicle to extract the heat of the refrigerator outside the vehicle.

[0170] In passenger mode, control device 1610 prioritizes passenger comfort. The control strategy involves tilting the louvers 316 downwards, opening the air vent (such as a solenoid valve) of the air guide assembly 320 aligned with the negative pressure exhaust area of ​​the undercarriage, and controlling the cooling fan 315 to operate at a moderate speed. At this time, the refrigerator heat is directed to a channel under the vehicle floor, where the stable negative pressure generated by the chassis during vehicle movement efficiently and quietly draws the heat out of the vehicle. Even if some residual heat remains, it is slowly blown out of the louvers 316 by the cooling fan 315 downwards with a relatively small airflow, making it virtually imperceptible to the passengers and resulting in a superior riding experience.

[0171] Step 1806: Based on the multi-source signals, determine whether the vehicle is stationary, the air conditioning is on, and the occupants are seated. If yes, proceed to step 1807; otherwise, proceed to step 1809.

[0172] Here, when the vehicle is not in motion, and / or when no occupants are detected, it is determined that the vehicle is not in driving occupant mode. In this case, the control device 1610 can continue to detect whether the vehicle is in other modes, such as parking air conditioning cooling mode.

[0173] In parking air conditioning cooling mode, the vehicle is stationary, the air conditioning is on, and the occupants are seated.

[0174] Optionally, whether a vehicle is stationary can be determined based on a vehicle speed signal. For example, based on the vehicle speed signal, if the speed is determined to be less than or equal to a second speed threshold (less than or equal to a first speed threshold), such as 0 km / h, then the vehicle is determined to be stationary. Conversely, if the speed is determined to be greater than the second speed threshold, such as greater than 0 km / h, then the vehicle is determined to be not stationary.

[0175] In this context, the engine may be running or shut off when stationary, without restriction.

[0176] For example, in new energy vehicles, air conditioning does not require an engine for cooling; therefore, when a new energy vehicle is stationary and the air conditioning is on, the engine can be off. However, in gasoline vehicles, air conditioning requires an engine for cooling; therefore, when a gasoline vehicle is stationary and the air conditioning is on, the engine is running. Based on this, only the vehicle speed signal is used to detect the vehicle's stationary state, without considering the engine's start / stop status signal.

[0177] Optionally, whether the vehicle's air conditioning is on (cooling mode) can be determined based on the air conditioning switch signal, the blower motor setting signal, and the air conditioning temperature signal. For example, based on these three signals, if it is determined that the air conditioning is on, the blower motor is in a setting, and the target temperature of the air conditioning is lower than the ambient temperature, then the vehicle is determined to be in a state where the air conditioning is on (cooling mode). Conversely, if it is determined that the air conditioning is off, and / or that the blower motor is not in a setting (e.g., the air conditioning is on but the blower motor is not working), and / or that the target temperature of the air conditioning is not lower than the ambient temperature (e.g., the air conditioning is in heating mode), then the vehicle is determined not to be in a state where the air conditioning is on (cooling mode).

[0178] In addition, whether the vehicle is in a occupant-occupant state can be determined based on the detection signals collected by the seat sensors, the image signals from the cabin camera, or the infrared signals from the in-vehicle infrared sensors, as mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0179] Step 1807: Determine that the vehicle is in parking air conditioning cooling mode.

[0180] Here, when the vehicle is stationary and the air conditioning is detected to be on and the occupants are seated, it is determined that the vehicle is in parking air conditioning cooling mode.

[0181] Step 1808: Control the heat flow from the refrigerator to the air conditioner inlet, and use the air conditioning system to cool the heat from the refrigerator.

[0182] In parking air conditioning cooling mode, control device 1610 activates air conditioning-assisted cooling. The control strategy is as follows: the air vent (such as a solenoid valve) connected to the air conditioning interface by the air guide assembly 320 is opened; the louvers 316 are horizontally oriented; and the cooling fan 315 operates at a medium or low speed. At this time, the hot air discharged from the refrigerator is actively guided by the air guide assembly 320 to the vicinity of the air conditioning blower inlet, mixes with the existing hot air inside the vehicle, and is then drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit for cooling via the air conditioning evaporator. Even if some residual heat remains, it is slowly blown out from the louvers 316 by the cooling fan 315. With the louvers 316 fully open and the airflow horizontal, the hot air mixes with the cooled air from the air conditioning system, making it virtually imperceptible to the occupants and providing a superior riding experience.

[0183] It should be noted that in the parking air conditioning cooling mode, the waste heat from the refrigerator and the cold source of the air conditioner are locally coordinated. Although this increases the energy consumption of the air conditioner on a micro level, it can avoid blindly lowering the temperature of the entire vehicle's air conditioning in order to combat the local heat from the refrigerator. This latter behavior is a common user behavior. Compared with this user behavior, it can effectively reduce the overall energy consumption of the vehicle and make the energy utilization of the vehicle more intelligent.

[0184] Step 1809: Based on the multi-source signals, determine whether the vehicle is in a state where the engine is off and the doors are locked, or whether the occupants have been off their seats for an extended period. If yes, proceed to step 1810; otherwise, proceed to step 1812.

[0185] Here, when the vehicle is not stationary, and / or when the air conditioning is detected not to be in cooling mode, and / or when no occupants are detected in the vehicle, it is determined that the vehicle is not in parking air conditioning cooling mode. In this case, the control device 1610 can continue to detect whether the vehicle is in other modes, such as high-efficiency independent cooling mode.

[0186] For example, in the efficient independent cooling mode, the vehicle is locked and the occupants are off their seats.

[0187] Optionally, whether the vehicle is in a locked state can be determined based on the door opening / closing status signals and the window opening / closing status signals. For example, based on these two signals, if it is determined that all vehicle doors are locked and all vehicle windows are closed, then the vehicle is determined to be in a locked state. Conversely, if it is determined that at least one vehicle door is unlocked and / or at least one vehicle window is open, then the vehicle is determined to be not in a locked state.

[0188] In addition, whether a vehicle is in a state of occupant absence can be determined based on the detection signals collected by the seat sensors, the image signals collected by the cabin camera, or the infrared signals collected by the in-vehicle infrared sensors, as mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0189] Step 1810: Determine that the vehicle is in the high-efficiency independent cooling mode.

[0190] Here, when the vehicle is locked and the occupants are off their seats, the vehicle is confirmed to be in efficient independent cooling mode.

[0191] Step 1811: Adjust the direction of the louver blades to the side-opening area, and run the fan at full speed to quickly cool down the area.

[0192] In the high-efficiency independent cooling mode, after all occupants have left the vehicle, the control device 1610 determines that passenger comfort is no longer a consideration, but rather the maximization of air conditioning cooling effect. The control logic is as follows: the louvers 316 are horizontally oriented, and the cooling fan 315 runs at full speed. At this time, the airflow guide assembly 320 is not activated, and only the cooling fan 315 blows hot air out of the louvers 316. The louvers 316 are laterally open, which is equivalent to the louvers 316 being fully open, maximizing the airflow and the cooling fan 315's rotation speed, thus blowing hot air out as quickly as possible and achieving the fastest refrigerator cooling. By adopting this control logic, the refrigerator can automatically switch to a powerful cooling mode after the occupants leave the vehicle, extending the refrigerator's lifespan as much as possible without manual intervention, achieving more intelligent adaptive capabilities and high reliability.

[0193] In some examples, under the efficient independent cooling mode, the control device 1610 can first control the cooling fan 315 to run at maximum speed for a first period of time, and then control the cooling fan 315 to switch to a sleep state to save energy consumption of the cooling fan 315. The first period of time is exemplarily related to the cooling state of the refrigerator structure 300. More specifically, it is related to the operating state of the compressor 311 in the refrigerator structure 300.

[0194] Generally, when the refrigerator temperature drops to a certain level, such as -6°C, the refrigerator enters a heat preservation state. The compressor 311 in the refrigerator structure 300 switches to a dormant state and ceases to generate heat. Simultaneously, the control device 1610 switches the cooling fan 315 to a dormant state to save unnecessary energy. Conversely, when the refrigerator temperature rises to a certain level, such as -3°C, the compressor 311 restarts, resuming heat generation. The control device 1610 then switches the cooling fan 315 to an on state, for example, running it at maximum speed, to dissipate heat from the refrigerator. This achieves both the refrigerator's heat dissipation needs and energy savings.

[0195] Step 1812: Determine that the vehicle is in the default safety mode.

[0196] Here, when the vehicle is not in any of the three modes of driving passenger mode, parking air conditioning cooling mode, or high-efficiency independent heat dissipation mode, it may be because some sensor signals are abnormal and cannot determine the mode, or it may be in other states, such as air conditioning heating mode. In this case, the control device 1610 determines that the vehicle is in the default safety mode.

[0197] Step 1813: Adopt a conservative airflow diversion strategy, with the fan running at low speed to prioritize avoiding disturbance to residents.

[0198] In the default safety mode, the control device 1610 employs the most conservative heat dissipation strategy. The control logic is as follows: the louvers 316 are tilted downwards, and the cooling fan 315 operates at low speed. At this time, the airflow guide assembly 320 is not activated; only the cooling fan 315 blows hot air out of the louvers 316. The downward tilt of the louvers 316 prioritizes preventing hot air from blowing directly onto occupants. Simultaneously, the low speed of the cooling fan 315 ensures that hot air is still being blown out of the louvers 316, guaranteeing the refrigerator has a certain heat dissipation capacity. Thus, in the default safety mode, basic comfort and refrigerator safety are balanced, ensuring basic protection for the user and the refrigerator even in the event of system failure.

[0199] By adopting the above control logic, a smart airflow-coordinated heat dissipation solution for embedded in-vehicle refrigerators in the center console is proposed. This solution uses a set of controllable and adjustable physical airflow components, combined with real-time perception of vehicle operating status and occupant presence, to dynamically change the path and destination of the refrigerator's heat dissipation airflow. This transforms the heat dissipation behavior from "fixed nuisance" to "scenario-adaptive and imperceptible." This heat dissipation solution is the first to take "eliminating occupant heat sensation" as a design goal alongside "heat dissipation efficiency," and fundamentally solves the pain point of hot air nuisance from the center console refrigerator through a scenario-based intelligent airflow structure, thus significantly improving occupant comfort. Moreover, this heat dissipation solution only requires adding a movable airflow mechanism to the refrigerator structure and implementing refrigerator heat dissipation at the software level with the matching control logic, without requiring expensive and complex hardware modifications to the refrigerator's refrigeration core or the vehicle's air conditioning system. The entire process mainly utilizes existing vehicle sensors and signals, resulting in low implementation costs and easy integration into existing center console designs, offering advantages of high integration and low cost.

[0200] Based on the above control logic, the following section uses a typical summer car usage scenario as an example to introduce the possible application process: During daytime driving, the vehicle is determined to be in occupant mode. Therefore, the control flow guide component 320 directs the refrigerator heat to the area under the vehicle floor, allowing the refrigerator heat to be discharged outside the vehicle through the negative pressure exhaust channel. The driver and passengers do not feel heat in their legs, resulting in a better riding experience. When the vehicle is parked and waiting for someone, and the air conditioning is on, the vehicle is stationary, the air conditioning is on in cooling mode, and there are people in the vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle is determined to be in parking air conditioning cooling mode. Thus, the control flow guide component 320 guides the heat from the refrigerator to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower, so that the heat from the refrigerator is drawn into the air conditioning cooling circuit by the blower. The occupants feel that the air conditioning is cool and even, and they cannot perceive the heat from the refrigerator. When the vehicle is parked at home at night, the engine is turned off and locked, and it is detected that everyone has left the vehicle. The system determines that the vehicle is in a high-efficiency independent cooling mode. Therefore, there is no need to control the airflow guiding component 320; instead, the direction of the louvers 316 can be controlled to be turned horizontally, and the cooling fan 315 can be controlled to run at full speed. After the cooling fan 315 runs for 10 minutes to force cooling of the refrigerator, it enters a sleep state to save energy.

[0201] In some examples, the airflow guide assembly 320 can be designed as a telescopic structure. When it is necessary to control the airflow guide assembly 320 to direct the refrigerator's heat to the area under the vehicle floor, the air duct of the airflow guide assembly 320 can be controlled to extend below the vehicle floor, thereby using the extended air duct to exhaust hot air towards the underside of the vehicle. When it is necessary to control the airflow guide assembly 320 to direct the refrigerator's heat to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower, the air duct of the airflow guide assembly 320 can be controlled to extend towards the air inlet of the air conditioning blower, for example, by connecting it to the air conditioning interface at that location, thereby using the extended air duct to exhaust hot air towards the air conditioning blower inlet. If the airflow guide assembly 320 is not needed, its air duct can be controlled to retract, meaning it is neither connected to the vehicle floor nor to the air inlet of the air conditioning blower, and the refrigerator's heat is not exhausted using the airflow guide assembly 320.

[0202] For example, to achieve the extension and fixation of the telescopic structure, an interface with a magnetic cover can be pre-installed on the side of the air conditioning filter housing near the bottom of the center console, close to the front bulkhead. This is the aforementioned air conditioning co-operation interface. In conjunction with this air conditioning co-operation interface, the air duct outlet of the air guide assembly 320 is designed with magnetic material. When the air duct outlet extends near the air conditioning co-operation interface, it is attracted by the interface, thus fixing it in place and maintaining the stability of hot air exhaust. This magnetic design can also be used in the vehicle floor, creating a pre-embedded channel. For example, a corrugated pipe leading to the floor below or the rear spare tire compartment can be pre-embedded as a negative pressure exhaust channel. Its inlet is located directly below the center console, and the air duct outlet of the air guide assembly is connected to the negative pressure exhaust interface and magnetically fixed to maintain stable hot air exhaust.

[0203] In other examples, the flow guiding assembly 320 can also be designed as a fixed structure, but with an internal switching element, such as a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve can be a normally closed type. When the control device needs to control the conduction of a certain pipe of the flow guiding assembly 320, it can generate a control signal and send it to the solenoid valve on that pipe to drive the solenoid valve from its default off state to the on state, thereby opening the pipe and allowing hot air to be discharged. Solenoid valves that do not need to be opened can remain off without sending a control signal.

[0204] It is understandable that the flow guiding component 320 may have other design forms, which will not be listed in this application.
