[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0025] In the claims, specification and the above drawings of the utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, if the term "fixed connection" or "fixed connection" is used, it should be understood in a broad sense, that is, any connection method without a displacement relationship and relative rotation relationship between the two, that is to say, including non-detachable fixed connection, detachable fixed connection, integrated connection and fixed connection through other devices or elements.

[0026] In the claims, specification and drawings of the present utility model, if the terms "include", "have" and their variations are used, they are intended to mean "including but not limited to".

[0027] Please also read Figure 1 to Figure 2 The vehicle temperature control system provided by the utility model is now described. The vehicle temperature control system includes a vehicle air conditioner 10, a heater 20, a membrane switch 30 and a handheld remote controller 40. The vehicle air conditioner 10 includes an air outlet unit 11 arranged at the top of the cockpit; the heater 20 is arranged in the cockpit; the membrane switch 30 is respectively arranged on the air outlet unit 11 and the heater 20; the handheld remote controller 40 includes a display screen 41 and a button 42. The handheld remote controller 40 is wirelessly connected to the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20 respectively. The display screen 41 is used to display cooling or heating parameters, and the button 42 is used to switch cooling and heating modes and adjust operating parameters.

[0028] The operating parameters here include temperature, wind speed, oil volume, voltage, etc. And according to the operating conditions of the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20, the display screen 41 can be displayed, and the button 42 can adjust the operating parameters of the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20. It is not difficult to see that it is a two-way wireless connection.

[0029] It should be noted that a separate mode switch key can be set for switching between cooling and heating modes, and the mode switching can be achieved by pressing the mode switch key once or continuously pressing the mode switch key for a preset time; multiple buttons 42 can also be used in combination to switch modes, for example, within 10 seconds, press and hold the wind speed plus or minus keys for 5 seconds and then press the mode switch key 5 times in succession to achieve mode switching.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle temperature control system provided by the present embodiment no longer has a control panel on the air outlet unit 11 and the heater 20 in the present application, and the traditional control panel is replaced by a low-cost and easy-to-install membrane switch 30, which is lower in cost; compared with the traditional vehicle air conditioner 10 and heater 20 that display temperature information through their own control panels, the vehicle temperature control system of the present application displays both cooling and heating information on a handheld remote control 40, which is convenient for the driver to observe; compared with the traditional control panel installed on the side wall of the cockpit to control the temperature, the vehicle temperature control system of the present application only uses a handheld remote control 40 to simultaneously realize the control and parameter display of cooling and heating states, and is closer to the driver, making it more flexible to use. The handheld remote controller 40 is wirelessly connected to the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20. Compared with the wiring between the traditional control panel and the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20, most of the wiring harness connections are eliminated, further reducing costs. By switching the cooling and heating modes on the handheld remote controller 40, the dual functions of the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20 can be controlled by a single remote control. Even if other electrical equipment needs to be connected, they can also be integrated into a handheld remote controller 40, which is conducive to functional expansion. When the handheld remote controller 40 is lost, the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20 can be simply controlled in an emergency (such as turning on and off and automatic operation) by pressing the membrane switch 30 on the vehicle air conditioner 10 or the heater 20, which provides double insurance.

[0031] In some embodiments, a specific installation method of the above-mentioned membrane switch 30 can adopt the structure described below. Not shown in the figure, the membrane switch 30 is pasted on the vehicle air conditioner 10 or the heater 20. For example, the air outlet unit 11 on the vehicle air conditioner 10, the middle position of the traditional air outlet unit 11 needs to be dug on the shell, and then the control panel corresponding to the air conditioner is installed at the hole. This process requires the size of the hole to be equal to the size of the control panel, which is not only complicated to manufacture and install, but also more expensive; in this embodiment, after the air outlet unit 11 is manufactured, it is no longer necessary to dig a hole, and a blank area is directly left in the middle, and then the membrane switch 30 is pasted on the reserved blank area, which is simple to manufacture, easy to install, and lower in cost.

[0032] Furthermore, since the membrane switch 30 is easy to install and has low cost, the functions of the membrane switch 30 can be combined at will according to the needs of customers, thereby meeting the driving operation habits of different transportation needs, which is conducive to promotion.

[0033] In some embodiments, an improved implementation of the above-mentioned handheld remote controller 40 can be implemented as follows Figure 1 See the structure shown. Figure 1 The handheld remote controller 40 is also provided with a communication module, which is used to realize voice control. When it is inconvenient to adjust parameters such as temperature or wind speed through the button 42, voice input can be directly made to the handheld remote controller 40, and the information processing unit in the handheld remote controller 40 can process the information of the voice input, thereby automatically controlling the vehicle air conditioner 10 or the heater 20.

[0034] For example: by using the voice "set the air conditioner to 26℃", the temperature of the vehicle air conditioner 10 is switched; by using the voice "switch to cooling mode", the heating mode is switched to the cooling mode; by using the voice "shutdown", the working equipment at that time is shut down.

[0035] In some embodiments, an improved implementation of the above-mentioned handheld remote controller 40 can be implemented as follows Figure 1 See the structure shown. Figure 1 The handheld remote controller 40 is provided with a sound receiving hole 43 and a recording button 44. During driving, the noise in the cockpit is relatively loud for different road sections. By providing the sound receiving hole 43, the voice input information of the driver can be easily obtained, so that the judgment of the voice input information is more accurate; by providing the recording button 44, the handheld remote controller 40 can start to collect the voice information when the driver presses the recording button 44, so as to judge the adjustment instructions in the collected voice information and automatically control the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20.

[0036] When the recording button 44 is not set, the voice recording function of the handheld remote control 40 can be awakened by a specific sentence, such as "Hello remote control".

[0037] In some embodiments, an improved implementation of the above-mentioned membrane switch 30 can be adopted as follows Figure 1 to Figure 2 See the structure shown. Figure 1 to Figure 2 Each membrane switch 30 is also provided with an indicator light 31, which is used to display the on / off state of the membrane switch 30 and the operation of the vehicle air conditioner 10 or the heater 20. When the vehicle air conditioner 10 or the membrane switch 30 is directly controlled by the membrane switch 30, by pressing the corresponding button on the membrane switch 30, when the button is pressed, the corresponding indicator light 31 lights up, so that even if the handheld remote control 40 is lost, the operation of the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20 can be observed, such as whether they are turned on or off.

[0038] Specifically, see Figure 2 In (a), (b), (d), the indicator light 31 is a lamp bead spaced apart from the button on the membrane switch 30; or, see Figure 2 The indicator light 31 in the middle (b) is a ring-shaped light bar arranged around the outer periphery of the button on the membrane switch 30 .

[0039] For example, Figure 2 The membrane switch 30 in (c) is installed on the vehicle air conditioner 10. The membrane switch has a button and two indicator lights 31. The two indicator lights 31 display different colors. When one indicator light 31 is on, it means that the vehicle air conditioner 10 is turned on and ready to run. When the other indicator light 31 is on, it means that the vehicle air conditioner 10 is in operation. Figure 2 The membrane switch 30 described in (d) can also indicate the size of the air volume through a string of indicator lights 31. For example, four consecutive indicator lights 31 form a row. The more indicator lights 31 are on, the greater the air volume. The air volume when four indicator lights 31 are on is greater than the air volume when only two indicator lights 31 are on.

[0040] In some embodiments, a specific implementation of the handheld remote controller 40 may be as follows: Figure 1 See the structure shown. Figure 1 The handheld remote controller 40 is provided with a wireless module or a Bluetooth module to realize wireless connection with the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20. Optionally, the wireless module can be an infrared, 433, 422, 232, 485, 315M, 27M, 2.4G transceiver module; the handheld remote controller 40 is wirelessly connected with the vehicle air conditioner 10 and the heater 20 through wireless (such as WIFI, 915M, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G) or Bluetooth, which reduces the wiring harness connection and facilitates installation.

[0041] It is easy to imagine that since the handheld remote control 40 is equipped with a wireless module (including receiving and transmitting chips) or a Bluetooth module, in order to achieve a two-way connection between the handheld remote control 40 and the vehicle air conditioner 10 or heater 20, the vehicle air conditioner 10 and heater 20 also need to be equipped with the same wireless module or Bluetooth module.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
