Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicles, and more particularly to a method for regulating air volume and a device for regulating air volume. Background Technology

[0002] In the era of electrification, automatically adjusting air conditioning is becoming increasingly accepted, especially for in-vehicle air conditioning systems. In automatic mode, engineers calibrate the vehicle for different seasons and ambient temperatures, automatically adjusting the airflow and temperature accordingly. Comfort is often highly subjective; users may find the automatic climate too cold or too hot and manually deactivate it, leading to reduced usage and preventing the calibration from achieving its intended effectiveness.

[0003] Current thermal comfort airflow algorithms only consider some environmental factors and find the corresponding automatic airflow based on these factors. However, the automatic airflow is stored as a fixed value before the vehicle leaves the factory and cannot be adjusted according to the user's subjective feelings. When considering different users, they may feel that the automatic setting of the baseline comfort temperature does not meet their needs, and the most intuitive difference is the airflow. According to market research, users often exit automatic mode and choose to increase or decrease the airflow.

[0004] Therefore, a method for regulating air volume and an air volume supply system are desired. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of this disclosure provide an airflow adjustment method, including: determining whether a manual airflow adjustment request is received; if a manual airflow adjustment request is received, supplying airflow as the manually adjusted airflow and storing the manual airflow adjustment request event; if no manual airflow adjustment request is received, supplying airflow as the automatic airflow plus the compensation airflow; and outputting the supplied airflow.

[0006] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the compensated air volume is calculated based on the stored manual air volume adjustment request events.

[0007] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, storing the manual airflow adjustment request event includes storing the current adjustment amount as a historical adjustment amount and storing the current environmental factors corresponding to the current adjustment amount as historical environmental factors, wherein the current adjustment amount is the difference between the current manually adjusted airflow and the sum of the automatic airflow and the compensated airflow.

[0008] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, calculating the compensation air volume based on the stored manual air volume adjustment request events includes calculating the compensation air volume based on a plurality of stored historical adjustment values ​​and corresponding historical environmental factors.

[0009] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the compensated air volume is also calculated based on historical influence factors, each historical influence factor corresponding to a historical adjustment amount and a historical environmental factor, and the historical influence factor is smaller the closer the time of storing the historical adjustment amount is to the current time.

[0010] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the compensation air volume is calculated according to the following relationship:

[0011] = Sum( * *f(n)),

[0012] in, To compensate for air volume,

[0013] n represents the ordered value of the stored historical adjustment quantities, where the ordered value is the ordered value of the selected historical adjustment quantities sorted in chronological order.

[0014] This refers to the historical environmental coefficient corresponding to the historical environmental factor with an order value of n.

[0015] For historical adjustment values ​​with an order value of n,

[0016] f(n) is the calculation function for historical influence factors with an order value of n.

[0017] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the function f(n) = e^(-k*n) is computed, where e is a natural number, k is a constant, and n is the order value.

[0018] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the calculation of the compensation air volume based on a plurality of stored historical adjustment values ​​and corresponding historical environmental factors includes selecting a historical adjustment value corresponding to a historical environmental factor that is the same as the current environmental factor, and calculating the compensation air volume based on the selected historical adjustment value.

[0019] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the environmental factors include at least the outside temperature and the air conditioning set temperature.

[0020] For example, according to some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the method further includes determining whether the air supply device is turned off after outputting the supplied air volume, and storing the manual air volume adjustment request event when it is determined that the air supply device is turned off.

[0021] This disclosure also proposes a non-transitory storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0022] This disclosure also proposes a computer program product including instructions, wherein, when the instructions are executed by a processor, they implement the method as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0023] This disclosure also proposes a wind power regulation device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory, wherein the processor executes the computer program to perform the method as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0024] This disclosure also proposes an air volume supply system, comprising: an air force regulating device according to this disclosure, and an air volume supply device connected to the air force regulating device to supply air according to the air volume supplied by the air force regulating device.

[0025] This disclosure also proposes a vehicle including an air volume supply system according to this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

The terms “comprising” and “including” and their derivatives mean, but are not limited to, “including”. The phrase “at least one”, when used with a list of items, means that different combinations of one or more of the listed items may be used, and that only one item in the list may be required. For example, “at least one of A, B, and C” includes any one of the following combinations: A, B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, A and B and C.

[0031] Definitions of other specific words and phrases are provided throughout this disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in many, if not most, cases, such definitions apply to the prior and future use of the words and phrases thus defined.

[0032] The various embodiments of the principles of this disclosure described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this disclosure in any way. Those skilled in the art will understand that the principles of this disclosure can be implemented in any suitably arranged system or device. In some cases, the actions described in this disclosure can be performed in a different order and still achieve the desired result. Furthermore, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require a specific order or sequential sequence to achieve the desired result. In certain embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous.

[0033] The text and accompanying drawings are provided by way of example only to aid in understanding this disclosure. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims appended to this disclosure in any way. Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals generally indicate the same elements. Although certain embodiments and examples have been provided, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art, based on the content of this disclosure, that changes may be made to the illustrated embodiments and examples without departing from the scope of this disclosure.

[0034] The method disclosed herein aims to provide an airflow adjustment method that can be adapted to the user's personal preferences and habits. Figure 1 This is an example flowchart of an airflow adjustment method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0035] According to the method of this disclosure, when an airflow supply device (not shown, for example, a vehicle-mounted device) for supplying airflow is turned on, it automatically enters an automatic mode, which can switch between automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode, the airflow supply device supplies air according to an automatically calculated supply airflow (i.e., automatic airflow plus compensation airflow, for example, at S13 or S14 in an embodiment of this disclosure). Once the user is dissatisfied with the airflow and makes a manual adjustment (equivalent to sending a manual airflow adjustment request), the airflow supply device exits automatic mode and enters manual mode.

[0036] In this disclosure, the air volume can be represented, for example, by the load voltage or power of the air supply device used to supply the air volume, and what ultimately needs to be adjusted is the load voltage or power of the air supply device used to supply the air volume.

[0037] At step S11, it is determined whether a request for manual airflow adjustment has been received. Specifically, this determination can be performed repeatedly, for example, at a fixed frequency, such as every 0.1s, 0.3s, or 0.5s. This allows for real-time detection of whether the user has made manual adjustments throughout the entire operation of the airflow supply equipment.

[0038] When a request to manually adjust the air volume is received, the system enters manual mode and the process runs to step S12. At step S12, the supplied air volume is the manually adjusted air volume.

[0039] After S12 is completed, the airflow adjustment method proceeds to S14 and S15, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, S14 and S15 can be performed in parallel. The sequential execution of S14 and S15 is also within the scope of this disclosure.

[0040] At S15, the supply air volume is output. At this time, the supply air volume is the manually adjusted air volume, and the air supply equipment supplies air according to this supply air volume.

[0041] User manual adjustment of the airflow indicates that the user is not satisfied with the automatically calculated airflow. The manual airflow adjustment request event contains information related to the user's preferences. Therefore, it is beneficial to store this information for subsequent automatic calculation of the airflow, as this takes the user's preferences into account in the automatic calculation, and the final airflow will be more in line with the user's preferences.

[0042] Therefore, at S14, a manual airflow adjustment request event is stored. This event may include multiple pieces of information, including the user's personal preference in this manual adjustment. For example, storing the manual airflow adjustment request event may include storing the current adjustment amount as a historical adjustment amount. The current adjustment amount is the difference between the manual airflow after the current manual adjustment and the sum of the automatic airflow and the compensation airflow (i.e., the supply airflow automatically calculated according to the method of this disclosure in automatic mode, as described in detail below).

[0043] Since the current adjustment amount is the difference between the manual airflow after the current manual adjustment and the sum of the automatic airflow and the compensation airflow, this adjustment amount means the amount that the user needs to adjust based on the supply airflow calculated in automatic mode in order to obtain their preferred comfortable airflow under the current environment. This is equivalent to the customer's correction amount to the automatic calculation result (the sum of the automatic airflow and the compensation airflow). Historical correction amounts are stored and incorporated into the next automatic calculation result. As more and more historical correction amounts are stored, the automatic calculation result will get closer and closer to the user's preferred airflow, until finally the automatic calculation result meets the customer's needs and preferences without any further adjustment by the customer.

[0044] In particular, the manual airflow used here for subtraction and storage is the airflow at the end of a complete manual adjustment, which may last for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, or one minute. Therefore, the manually adjusted airflow is the airflow maintained stably for a certain period, such as at least 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, or one minute. This prevents an intermediate value during the adjustment process from being mistakenly taken as the adjusted manual airflow.

[0045] Furthermore, storing manual airflow adjustment request events can also include storing the current environmental factors corresponding to the current adjustment as historical environmental factors. Since users' manual airflow adjustments are closely related to current environmental factors, and users have different reactions and preferences to different environmental factors—for example, some users may tend to increase the airflow in hot weather, while others may prefer to decrease it in cold weather—the stored manual airflow adjustment request events should include environmental factors. This incorporates more user preference information into the airflow adjustment method, making the method more accurate. Environmental factors may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: outdoor temperature, air conditioning setting temperature, light intensity, and indoor temperature.

[0046] At S11, if it is determined that no manual air volume adjustment request has been received, the air volume supply equipment remains in automatic mode, and the method runs to S13. At S13, the supplied air volume is the automatic air volume plus the compensation air volume.

[0047] Automatic airflow is an automatically calculated airflow rate. It can be calculated or obtained based on at least current environmental factors, including but not limited to one or more of the following: outdoor temperature, air conditioning set temperature, light intensity, and indoor temperature. Automatic airflow can be a value calculated or obtained based on experience (e.g., the value chosen most frequently in a statistical framework, meeting the needs of most people). For example, it might be stored in a corresponding storage device before the airflow supply equipment leaves the factory, and when automatic airflow is needed, it is retrieved based on the obtained environmental factors.

[0048] Various environmental factors can be divided into multiple threshold ranges. Taking outdoor temperature and air conditioning set temperature as examples, a threshold range can be set in 0.5-degree Celsius increments. For instance, if the actual outdoor temperature is 30.2 degrees Celsius, falling within the 30-30.5 degree Celsius range, and the air conditioning set temperature is 20.2 degrees Celsius, falling within the 20-20.5 degree Celsius range, then the corresponding automatic airflow for both the 30-30.5 degree Celsius range and the 20-20.5 degree Celsius range will be determined. Those skilled in the art will understand that the smaller the threshold range, the more correlated the automatic airflow is with environmental factors, making subsequent compensation adjustments to the automatic airflow more effective in meeting the specific needs of an individual.

[0049] The compensation air volume can be calculated based on historical environmental factors and historical adjustment amounts, which, as mentioned above, are stored based on the customer's historical manual adjustment events. The compensation air volume is then used to compensate the automatic air volume adjustment, which meets the needs of most people, to tend to meet the personal preferences of the user (e.g., the owner of the air volume supply equipment).

[0050] Furthermore, the compensated airflow can be calculated based on historical influences. Each historical influence factor corresponds to a historical adjustment amount and a historical environmental factor. Specifically, the closer the stored historical adjustment amount is to the current moment, the smaller the historical influence factor. Because historical manual airflow adjustment request events are stored and integrated into the next automatic calculation result, as the number of stored historical manual airflow adjustment request events increases, the automatic calculation result will increasingly approximate the user's preferred airflow. Manual adjustments closer to the current moment reflect less of the user's preference, while manual adjustments earlier in time reflect the user's preference more. This helps to further increase the accuracy of the automatic calculation results.

[0051] In particular, the compensation air volume is calculated according to the following formula:

[0052] = Sum( * *f(n)),

[0053] in, To compensate for air volume, this value may be positive or negative. n represents the ordered value of the stored historical adjustment values, which are sorted chronologically by the selected historical adjustment values. Let n be the historical adjustment value with an order value of n. For example, if three historical adjustment values ​​are selected and sorted chronologically, the earliest stored historical adjustment value is... The sequence value is 1, followed by the stored historical adjustment amount. The order value is 2, representing the historical adjustment amount closest to the current moment. The order value is 3.

[0054] This refers to the historical environmental coefficient corresponding to the historical environmental factor with a sequence value of n. As mentioned above, environmental factors may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: outdoor temperature, air conditioning set temperature, light intensity, and indoor temperature. For example, Figure 3 This is an example schematic diagram illustrating the correspondence between environmental coefficients and environmental factors according to embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein the environmental factors are selected as outdoor temperature and air conditioning set temperature. Figure 3As shown, for example, the external temperature range can be between -30 degrees Celsius and 45 degrees Celsius, and eight intervals can be evenly set. Similarly, the air conditioner temperature setting can be set to nine intervals, thus generating 72 environmental factor conditions. Each environmental factor condition corresponds to a square and has a corresponding environmental coefficient. Figure 3 The data shows that the data is largest on the diagonal line leading to the intersection of the horizontal and vertical axes, and decreases as you move further away from this diagonal. This is because environmental conditions closer to this diagonal line are more consistent with normal air conditioning usage habits. For example, the lower the outside temperature, the higher the air conditioner setting, and the higher the outside temperature, the lower the air conditioner setting. Therefore, manual adjustments under these environmental conditions are more reliable.

[0055] Furthermore, f(n) is the calculation function for the historical influence factors with an order value of n. Specifically, the calculation function f(n) = e^(-k*n), where e is a natural number, k is a constant, and n is the aforementioned order value. In particular, k can be selected according to the usage environment of the air supply equipment. The magnitude of k determines how quickly the automatically calculated air volume approaches the air volume representing the user's preference (the number of times the user needs to manually adjust it).

[0056] Furthermore, the calculation of the compensation air volume based on multiple stored historical adjustment values ​​and corresponding historical environmental factors may also include selecting historical adjustment values ​​corresponding to the same historical environmental factors as the current environmental factors; that is, only selecting historical adjustment values ​​under the same environmental factors, and calculating the compensation air volume based on the selected historical adjustment values. It should be noted that "same" here does not mean completely identical or equal, but rather identical within a certain range, for example, such as... Figure 3 Within the small square shown, all environmental factors (such as outside temperature and air conditioning set temperature) fall within the same range. This is because users have different reactions and preferences to different environmental factors. For example, when it's hot, some users may tend to turn the airflow up higher, while when it's cold, some users may prefer to turn it down lower. These manual adjustments under different environmental factors may even have opposite preferences. Therefore, selecting historical adjustment values ​​for the current specific environmental factor will help improve the accuracy of automatically calculated airflow.

[0057] For example, historical adjustment values ​​can be categorized and stored according to environmental factors and sorted by sequential value, thus facilitating retrieval and use.

[0058] For example, if the environmental factors are: outside temperature = 35℃, inside temperature = 35℃, sunlight SUN = 800W / m2, and the set temperature is 22℃, then according to information typically set or stored by the OEM, the automatic airflow is approximately 7.2V (represented by load voltage). If, in this environment, a user uses the air supply device for the first time, the automatically calculated supply airflow is 7.2V. If the user feels it is too hot, they might increase the airflow to 8.2V, resulting in a positive deviation of 1V. This manual airflow adjustment request event is then stored, including the environmental factors and the adjustment amount.

[0059] Under the same environmental conditions—outer temperature = 35℃, inner temperature = 35℃, sunlight SUN = 800W / m², and set temperature 22℃—the air supply equipment is used a second time. The corresponding environmental factors... = 0.56, k, for example, is 0.2. =1V, then compensate for airflow = 0.56*e^(-0.2*1)* 1= 0.458489V, so the automatically calculated air supply volume is 7.2V + 0.458489V = 7.658489V. If the user feels it's too hot, they will increase the air volume to 8.2V. At this point, the deviation is positive, and the adjustment amount is 0.541511V. Therefore, this manual air volume adjustment request event is stored, including environmental factors and the adjustment amount.

[0060] Under the same environmental conditions—outer temperature = 35℃, inner temperature = 35℃, sunlight SUN = 800W / m², and set temperature 22℃—this air supply equipment is used for the third time. The corresponding environmental factors... = 0.56, = 0.56, k, for example, is 0.2. =1V, =0.541511V, then the compensation air volume = 0.56*e^(-0.2*1)* +0.56*e^(-0.2*2)* 0.541511= 0.661761, so the automatically calculated air supply volume is 7.2V + 0.661761V = 7.861761V. If the user feels it's too hot, they will increase the airflow to 8.2V. At this point, the deviation is positive, and the adjustment amount is 0.338239V. Therefore, this manual airflow adjustment request event is stored, including environmental factors and the adjustment amount. This process is repeated sequentially thereafter.

[0061] Furthermore, this disclosure also proposes another embodiment of the airflow adjustment method, such as... Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 and Figure 1The difference lies in whether the air supply equipment is shut down after setting the air supply volume to the manually adjusted manual volume. Figure 2 As shown in S25. The airflow supply device can be shut down manually. In the case of a vehicle-mounted device, it can also be shut down due to the vehicle being turned off or the battery being low, or automatically by an algorithm detecting that no one is in the vehicle. In the case of a household device, it can be shut down due to power failure or a set time.

[0062] If it is determined that the air supply equipment is not turned off and is operating normally, then proceed to S26, output the supply air volume, and the air supply equipment outputs air according to the supply air volume.

[0063] When it is determined that the air supply equipment is off, the process proceeds to S24, where the manual airflow adjustment request event is stored. Specifically, only the last manual airflow adjustment request event before the air supply equipment was shut down is stored. This is because during the use of the air supply equipment, the user may manually adjust the airflow multiple times. After the first few manual adjustments, and running at that manual airflow for a period of time (this period could be greater than five minutes, 10 minutes, or 20 minutes, representing the duration after one manual adjustment), the user may find that the airflow does not meet their needs after a period of time. Therefore, another manual adjustment is performed, and the user experiences the airflow again until the last manual adjustment meets their needs. This ensures that the manual airflow used for calculating the difference and for storage is the airflow that meets the user's needs.

[0064] Furthermore, this disclosure also proposes an airflow regulation device, which may include a memory, a processor, and multiple sensors. The multiple sensors may be disposed at multiple locations, both indoors and outdoors, where the airflow supply equipment is installed, to collect desired environmental factors, such as one or more of the outdoor temperature, air conditioning set temperature, light intensity, and indoor temperature as described above. The processor is connected to the multiple sensors and the memory, and executes program code stored in the memory to perform the airflow regulation method according to this disclosure.

[0065] Memory and processor can be interconnected via a bus system and / or other forms of connection mechanism (not shown). For example, the bus can be a Peripheral Component Interconnect Standard (PCI) bus or an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus. This communication bus can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc.

[0066] For example, the processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), a graphics processing unit (GPU), or other processing units with data processing and / or program execution capabilities, such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The processor can be a general-purpose processor or a dedicated processor, capable of controlling other components in the airflow regulating device to perform desired functions.

[0067] Exemplarily, the memory may include any combination of one or more computer program products, which may include various forms of computer-readable storage media, such as volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory. Volatile memory may include, for example, random access memory (RAM) and / or cache. Non-volatile memory may include, for example, read-only memory (ROM), hard disk, erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), USB storage, flash memory, etc. The processor may execute program code stored in the memory to implement various functions of the airflow control device. Various applications and data, as well as various data used and / or generated by the applications, may also be stored in the computer-readable storage medium.

[0068] For example, the airflow control device may also include input devices such as touchscreens, touchpads, keyboards, mice, cameras, microphones, accelerometers, and gyroscopes; output devices such as liquid crystal displays, speakers, and vibrators; storage devices such as magnetic tapes and hard disks (HDDs or SDDs); and communication devices such as network interface cards like LAN cards and modems. The communication devices allow the airflow control device to communicate wirelessly or wiredly with other devices to exchange data, performing communication processing via networks such as the Internet. A drive is connected to the I / O interface as needed. Removable storage media, such as disks, optical disks, magneto-optical disks, and semiconductor memories, are installed on the drive as needed so that computer programs read from them can be installed into the storage device as required.

[0069] For example, the airflow regulating device may further include a peripheral interface. This peripheral interface can be of various types, such as a USB interface, a Lightning interface, etc. The communication device can communicate wirelessly with networks and other devices, such as the Internet, intranets and / or wireless networks such as cellular telephone networks, wireless local area networks (LANs) and / or metropolitan area networks (MANs). Wireless communication can use any of a variety of communication standards, protocols, and technologies, including but not limited to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (e.g., based on IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, and / or IEEE 802.11n standards), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, protocols for email, instant messaging, and / or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol.

[0070] In particular, the current environmental factors, supply air volume intensity, and mode status during the operation of the air volume regulation method can be displayed in the form of numerical values, tables, or graphs on an output device such as an LCD screen, or sent to other external devices such as computers and mobile phones according to communication protocols.

[0071] The airflow regulating device may include, for example, a system-on-a-chip (SOC) or a device including the SOC. For instance, it can be any device such as a mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, part of a desktop computer, or server. It can also be any combination of data processing devices and hardware; the embodiments disclosed herein do not limit this. The specific functions and technical effects of the airflow regulating device can be found in the foregoing description of the airflow regulating method and its additional aspects according to at least one embodiment of this disclosure, and will not be repeated here.

[0072] Furthermore, this disclosure also includes a non-transitory readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform one or more steps of the various methods and their additional aspects as described above.

[0073] For example, the non-temporarily readable storage medium may be any combination of one or more computer-readable storage media, such as a computer-readable storage medium containing program code for performing the various methods described above.

[0074] For example, when the program code is read by a computer, the computer can execute the program code stored in the computer storage medium to perform one or more steps of the various methods and additional aspects described above, such as those according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] For example, the non-transitory readable storage medium may include a memory card of a smartphone, a storage component of a tablet computer, a hard disk of a personal computer, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), flash memory, and other non-transitory readable storage media or any combination thereof.

[0076] Embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer program product or computer program including computer instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium. A processor of a computer device reads the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium and executes the computer instructions, causing the computer device to perform an airflow regulation method according to embodiments of this disclosure.

[0077] Furthermore, this disclosure also includes an airflow supply system comprising an airflow supply device for supplying airflow, and an airflow regulating device and / or a non-transitory storage medium and / or a computer program product according to this disclosure. The airflow supply device may include, for example, one or more of an air conditioner, a fan, an air purifier, a ventilation device, etc. The airflow supply device may be connected to the airflow regulating device to supply airflow according to the supply airflow output by the processor. The airflow supply system may be a residential, vehicle-mounted, airborne, industrial, or commercial system. In particular, the airflow supply device itself may be equipped with an input device, or the airflow supply system may include a separate input device through which the user can manually adjust the airflow, and after manual adjustment, the input device sends a manual adjustment airflow request to the airflow regulating device. In addition, the input device may also be used to set the air conditioner temperature, schedule on / off times, etc.

[0078] Furthermore, this disclosure also includes a vehicle that may include an air supply system according to embodiments of this disclosure.

[0079] According to one or more aspects of this disclosure, manually calculated airflow adjustment request events containing information related to user preferences are stored and incorporated into the next automatic calculation result. As the number of stored historical manually calculated airflow adjustment request events increases, the automatic calculation result will increasingly approximate the user's preferred airflow, until finally, no customer adjustment is required, and the automatic calculation result satisfies the customer's needs and preferences. This allows the automatically calculated supply airflow to adapt to the different needs of different users, reducing manual operation by the user.

Claims

1. A method for regulating air volume, comprising: Determine if a manual airflow adjustment request has been received. When a manual airflow adjustment request is received, the supplied airflow is the manually adjusted airflow, and the manual airflow adjustment request event is stored. If no manual airflow adjustment request is received, the supplied airflow is the automatic airflow plus the compensation airflow. Output the supplied air volume.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein, The compensation air volume is calculated based on the stored manual air volume adjustment request events.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein, Storing the manual airflow adjustment request event includes storing the current adjustment amount as a historical adjustment amount and storing the current environmental factors corresponding to the current adjustment amount as historical environmental factors. The current adjustment amount is the difference between the manual airflow after the current manual adjustment and the sum of the automatic airflow and the compensation airflow.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein, Calculating the compensation air volume based on the stored manual air volume adjustment request events includes calculating the compensation air volume based on a plurality of stored historical adjustment values ​​and corresponding historical environmental factors.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein, The compensation air volume is also calculated based on historical influence factors. Each historical influence factor corresponds to a historical adjustment amount and a historical environmental factor. The closer the time when the historical adjustment amount is stored is to the current time, the smaller the historical influence factor is.

6. The method according to claim 5, The compensation air volume is calculated according to the following formula: = Sum( * *f(n)), in, To compensate for air volume, n represents the ordered value of the stored historical adjustment quantities, where the ordered value is the ordered value of the selected historical adjustment quantities sorted in chronological order. This refers to the historical environmental coefficient corresponding to the historical environmental factor with an order value of n. For historical adjustment values ​​with an order value of n, f(n) is the calculation function for historical influence factors with an order value of n.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein, The function f(n) = e^(-k*n) is calculated, where e is a natural number, k is a constant, and n is the ordinal value.

8. The method according to claim 4, wherein, The compensation air volume is calculated based on a plurality of stored historical adjustment values ​​and corresponding historical environmental factors, including selecting a historical adjustment value corresponding to a historical environmental factor that is the same as the current environmental factor, and calculating the compensation air volume based on the selected historical adjustment value.

9. The method according to claim 3, wherein, The environmental factors mentioned include at least the outside temperature and the air conditioning setting temperature.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein, The method also includes After outputting the supplied air volume, determine whether the air supply equipment is turned off. When it is determined that the air supply device is off, the manual air volume adjustment request event is stored.

11. A non-transitory storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the method as described in any one of claims 1-10.
