[0033] Next, refer to Figures 1 - 10 to describe the vehicle control system 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0034] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, the vehicle control system 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: a winch mechanism 10, a driving motor 20, and a compressor 30.

[0035] Specifically, the output shaft 201 of the driving motor 20 is connected to the transmission shaft 101 of the winch mechanism 10. The compressor 30 includes a body 301 and a control module 302. The control module 302 has a first electronic control unit and a second electronic control unit. The first control unit is connected to the body 301, and the second electronic control unit is connected to the driving motor 20.

[0036] For example, as Figures 1 - 8 in the example of, the winch mechanism 10 includes a transmission shaft 101, a first fixing frame, a transmission roller, a planetary gearbox, a second fixing frame, a steel cable, and a hook. The transmission roller is sleeved outside the transmission shaft 101, and both the transmission roller and the transmission shaft 101 are connected to the planetary gearbox. The steel cable is wound around the transmission roller. The first fixing frame and the second fixing member are respectively located at both axial ends of the transmission roller. A hook is installed at the free end of the steel cable. The driving motor 20 is arranged at one axial end of the winch mechanism 10, and the output shaft 201 of the driving motor 20 is connected to the transmission shaft 101 of the winch mechanism 10, so as to transmit the power of the driving motor 20 to the winch mechanism 10, that is, when the driving motor 20 rotates, it will drive the planetary gearbox to rotate, and the planetary gearbox will drive the transmission shaft 101 and the transmission roller to rotate, so that the steel cable on the transmission roller winds or unwinds.

[0037] The control module 302 of the compressor 30 is arranged between the drive motor 20 and the body 301. The first electronic control unit of the control module 302 is electrically connected to the body 301 and is used to compress the refrigeration gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state and discharge the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process. The second electronic control unit is electrically connected to the drive motor 20 and is used to transmit a control signal to the drive motor 20 to control the start or stop of the drive motor 20. Among them, when the drive motor 20 rotates forward, the winch mechanism 10 can reel in the wire, and when the drive motor 20 rotates backward, the winch mechanism 10 can pay out the wire.

[0038] Thus, the control device of the winch mechanism 10 (i.e., the above-mentioned second electronic control unit) and the electronic control device of the compressor 30 (i.e., the above-mentioned first electronic control unit) can be integrated. That is, the first electronic control unit and the second electronic control unit share some integrated circuits and IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors). When the remote control equipment box vehicle device 110 issues a control command, the integrated circuit can receive the signal transmitted from the vehicle device 110 to the vehicle controller 40 and further transmit the signal to the drive motor 20 to control the operation of the winch mechanism 10.

[0039] In addition, in the thermal management system of a new energy vehicle, both the compressor 30 and the winch mechanism 10 can be electric type. The electric compressor 30 and the electric winch mechanism 10 are both powered by a power battery, and the motor types of the above two are the same and the loads are close. Thus, the control device of the winch mechanism 10 (i.e., the above-mentioned second electronic control unit) and the electronic control device of the compressor 30 (i.e., the above-mentioned first electronic control unit) can be integrated.

[0040] According to the vehicle control system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the first electronic control unit of the control module 302 of the compressor 30 is connected to the body 301 of the compressor 30, and the second electronic control unit is connected to the drive motor 20. Thus, the control device of the winch mechanism 10 (i.e., the above-mentioned second electronic control unit) and the electronic control device of the compressor 30 (i.e., the above-mentioned first electronic control unit) can be integrated, which can improve the integration of the vehicle, reduce the number of vehicle components, and thus improve the assembly efficiency.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the control module 302 is arranged adjacent to the suction side of the body 301. That is to say, the control module 302 is arranged at the air inlet of the body 301, and the compressor 30 can suck in air to cool the control module 302, thereby improving the heat dissipation and reliability of the control module 302 and effectively solving the heat generation problem of the control module 302 during long-term operation.

[0042] Further, the control module 302 includes a housing 3021, a first connector 3022, and a second connector 3023. The housing 3021 is provided with a first electronic control unit and a second electronic control unit. Both the first connector 3022 and the second connector 3023 are provided outside the housing 3021. The first connector 3022 and the second connector 3023 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the body 301. The first connector 3022 is connected to the first electronic control unit, and the second connector 3023 is connected to the second electronic control unit. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the housing 3021 is provided on one side of the body 301 in the axial direction. The shape of the housing 3021 is generally rectangular. The body 301 is one end in the length direction of the housing 3021 (for example, Figure 1 the left-right direction in Figure 1 ). The first connector 3022 and the second connector 3023 are located at the other end in the length direction of the housing 3021. The first connector 3022 and the second connector 3023 are arranged along the width direction of the housing 3021 (for example, Figure 1 the front-back direction in

[0043] ). And the body 301, the first connector 3022, and the second connector 3023 are located on the same side in the thickness direction of the housing 3021 (for example,

[0044] the up-down direction in

[0045] ). Wherein, one end of the first connector 3022 is electrically connected to the first electronic control unit, and the other end of the first connector 3022 is adapted to an external electronic component (such as the vehicle controller 40). One end of the second connector 3023 is electrically connected to the second electronic control unit, and the other end of the second connector 3023 is connected to the drive motor 20. The first connector 3022 and the drive motor 20 can be connected by plugging. Thus, the control signal can be transmitted to the drive motor 20 through the first electronic control unit and the second electronic control unit to control the operation of the drive motor 20, thereby controlling the operation of the winch mechanism 10.

[0046] That is to say, the sensor may include one of a temperature sensor, a rotational speed sensor, an accelerator sensor, a voltage sensor, and a current sensor; alternatively, the sensor may include any two of a temperature sensor, a rotational speed sensor, an accelerator sensor, a voltage sensor, and a current sensor; or, the sensor may include any three of a temperature sensor, a rotational speed sensor, an accelerator sensor, a voltage sensor, and a current sensor; or, the sensor may include any four of a temperature sensor, a rotational speed sensor, an accelerator sensor, a voltage sensor, and a current sensor; finally, the sensor may include a temperature sensor, a rotational speed sensor, an accelerator sensor, a voltage sensor, and a current sensor at the same time.

[0047] In this way, the operating condition of the winch mechanism 10 can be monitored through the sensor. For example, information such as rotational speed, power, current, voltage, and temperature can be transmitted to the vehicle controller 40 to achieve digital monitoring, and at the same time, it is convenient for the user to understand the working state of the winch mechanism 10 and realize online diagnosis. In addition, when the winch mechanism 10 is working, the electric fan of the vehicle's condenser can be started to strengthen the convective heat transfer on the surface of the winch mechanism 10 and extend the continuous working time of the winch mechanism 10.

[0048] Furthermore, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the vehicle control system 100 further includes: a high-voltage power battery 50, a voltage converter 60, and a low-voltage power distribution device 70. The high-voltage power battery 50 is connected to the drive motor 20, the compressor 30, the vehicle controller 40, and the sensor. The voltage converter 60 is provided between the high-voltage power battery 50 and the vehicle controller 40, and the low-voltage power distribution device 70 is provided between the voltage converter 60 and the vehicle controller 40. Among them, the high-voltage power battery 50 is used to supply power to the drive motor 20, which greatly improves the traction force of the winch mechanism 10, effectively solves the problem of insufficient driving force of the storage battery. At the same time, because the driving voltage doubles, the current in the wire harness can be reduced to less than 1 / 15 of the original, the heat generation of the wire harness is significantly reduced, a wire harness with a lower wire diameter can be used, and the length is basically not limited, and the power loss is also better solved. The voltage converter 60 can convert high-voltage direct current into 14v / 28v low-voltage direct current, and then transmit it to the vehicle controller 40 through the low-voltage power distribution device 70 to supply power to the vehicle controller 40, which is beneficial for the vehicle controller 40 to receive and transmit various control signals.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 9As shown, the vehicle control system 100 further includes a display device 80, which is respectively connected to the vehicle controller 40 and the control module 302. With such an arrangement, the monitored working conditions of the winch mechanism 10 can be displayed on the display device 80. For example, information such as the rotational speed, power, current, voltage, and temperature of the winch mechanism 10; or, the vehicle controller 40 can also transmit information of other components of the vehicle to be displayed on the display device 80, which is beneficial for the user to better understand the actual information of the vehicle.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the vehicle control system 100 further includes: a camera device, which is provided on the winch mechanism 10 and is connected to the display device 80. With such an arrangement, through the camera, the actual operating conditions of the winch mechanism 10 can be more clearly and intuitively understood, which is beneficial for the user to adjust the winch mechanism 10 according to the actual situation, improving the intelligence of the vehicle.

[0051] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle control system 100 includes at least one of a wireless signal receiver 90 and a vehicle head unit device 110. The wireless signal receiver 90 is used to transmit the signal of the wireless remote controller 200 to the vehicle controller 40, and the vehicle head unit device 110 is used to transmit the signal of the mobile terminal 210 to the vehicle controller 40.

[0052] For example, in Figure 9 and Figure 10 example, it can be controlled by the wireless remote controller 200, that is, the wireless remote controller 200 emits a signal and is received by the vehicle radio frequency receiver, and the control signal is sent to the drive motor 20 through the vehicle controller 40 to control the working state of the drive motor 20, thereby realizing the control of the winch mechanism 10. Or, the control of the winch mechanism 10 can also be directly controlled from the vehicle head unit device 110, that is, the connection between the mobile phone and the vehicle controller 40 is realized by using the vehicle head unit device 110. Thereby, the use safety of the vehicle can be improved, and the user experience is enhanced.

[0054] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention, by adopting the above vehicle control system 100, improves the assembly efficiency of the vehicle, is beneficial to the vehicle's intelligence and informatization, and the vehicle has relatively high safety.
