[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are used to better understand the present solution. They do not constitute a limitation of the present disclosure. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 The heating device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0034] like Figure 1 The figure shows a block diagram of a heating device according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. The heating device 1 according to the present invention includes a control module 3, a preheating module 2, and a thawing module 4. The control module 3 is connected to the preheating module 2 and the thawing module 4, respectively. The preheating module 2 and the thawing module 4 are arranged in the charging port area of ​​the vehicle. The control module 3 is used to send a low temperature signal and / or a charging port freezing signal. The preheating module 2 is used to heat the charging port cover in the charging port area when receiving the low temperature signal. The thawing module 4 is used to thaw the charging port cover when receiving the charging port freezing signal.

[0035] In an embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the control module 3 is connected to the preheating module 2 and the thawing module 4 respectively, and is used to send a low temperature signal and / or a charging port frozen signal. The low temperature signal is a signal sent by the control module 3 when it determines that the temperature of the charging port cover on the vehicle is likely to be frozen based on weather forecast information. For example, the user can turn on the preheating function corresponding to the preheating module 2 as needed. After the preheating function is turned on, the control module 3 will read the weather information of the vehicle's location and determine whether the temperature of the vehicle's charging port cover is likely to be frozen. If it is low temperature weather, such as rainy or snowy weather, the temperature of the vehicle's charging port cover is likely to be frozen, and a low temperature signal will be sent to the preheating module 2; otherwise, no low temperature signal will be sent. The charging port frozen signal is a signal sent by the control module 3 when the charging port cover is frozen based on the status information of the charging port cover. For example, the user can turn on the thawing function corresponding to the thawing module 4 as needed. After the thawing function is turned on, if the status information of the charging port cover received by the control module 3 is "the charging port cover is frozen", the charging port frozen signal will be sent; otherwise, the charging port frozen signal will not be sent. By sending different signals through the control module 3, the preheating module 2 and the thawing module 4 are controlled, thereby achieving intelligence and efficiency in the entire thawing process, reducing the complexity of manual operation and improving the user's car experience.

[0036] The preheating module 2 is arranged in the charging port area of ​​the vehicle. When it receives the low temperature signal sent by the control module 3, it heats the charging port cover in the charging port area. For example, the time for heating the charging port cover is set to a preset time according to the heating demand, and the frequency for heating the charging port cover is set to a preset heating frequency according to the heating demand. When setting the preset time and the preset heating frequency according to the demand, the preset time and the preset heating frequency can be appropriately set according to but not limited to the energy consumption of the vehicle and the user's itinerary, and the charging port cover is heated according to the preset time and the preset heating frequency to maintain the temperature of the charging port cover area of ​​the vehicle slightly above the freezing point, thereby preventing ice from forming. At the same time, heating according to the preset time and frequency can save energy.

[0037] The thawing module 4 is arranged in the charging port area of ​​the vehicle and is used to thaw the charging port cover when receiving the charging port freezing signal. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a structural block diagram of a heating device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The thawing module 4 includes a heating unit 7, an air outlet unit 8 and a vibration unit 9. When the thawing module 4 receives a charging port freezing signal, the process of thawing the charging port cover is, for example, when the thawing module 4 receives a charging port freezing signal, it issues a thawing instruction. The thawing instruction includes: first starting the vibration unit 9. The vibration unit 9 includes a vibration device. The vibration device is illustrated by an eccentric motor high-frequency vibration device as an example. The eccentric motor high-frequency vibration device is started, and the ice layer is separated from the charging port cover by the vibration of the eccentric motor high-frequency vibration device. Then, the heating unit 7 is used to precisely heat the joints of the vehicle charging port cover to further melt the residual ice. Hot air is generated through the air outlet unit 8. The hot air will precisely heat the joints of the vehicle charging port cover to further blow away the residual ice and water stains, so as to quickly unfreeze the charging port cover in a short time, greatly shortening the waiting time due to thawing and improving the user's car experience.

[0038] According to the heating device of the embodiment of the present invention, a low temperature signal and / or a charging port freezing signal is sent out through a control module respectively connected to the preheating module and the thawing module. The preheating module arranged in the charging port area of ​​the vehicle heats the charging port cover in the charging port area when receiving the low temperature signal. The thawing module arranged in the charging port area of ​​the vehicle thaws the charging port cover of the vehicle when receiving the charging port freezing signal, so as to realize efficient and intelligent thawing of the charging port cover of the vehicle, reduce damage to the charging port, and enhance the user's car experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the preheating module 2 includes at least one low-power electric heating module 10, which is connected to the output end of the control module 3 and is used to work when receiving a low-temperature signal.

A preheating module 2 is installed in the charging port area of ​​a new energy vehicle. The module includes at least one low-power electric heating module 10, which is connected to the output end of the control module 3. When the preheating module 2 receives a low-temperature signal, it starts to work. The working process is, for example, setting the time for heating the charging port cover to a preset time according to the heating demand, setting the frequency for heating the charging port cover to a preset heating frequency according to the heating demand, setting the frequency for low-temperature detection of the charging port cover to a preset detection frequency according to the low-temperature detection demand, and setting the time for low-temperature detection of the charging port cover to a preset detection time according to the low-temperature detection demand. When setting the preset time, preset heating frequency, preset detection frequency and preset detection time according to the demand, the preset time, preset heating frequency, preset detection frequency and preset detection time can be appropriately set according to, but not limited to, the energy consumption of the vehicle and the user's itinerary. The user can choose to turn on or off the preheating function corresponding to the preheating module as needed. After the preheating function is turned on, the control module 3 will read the weather information of the vehicle's location to determine whether the temperature of the vehicle's charging port cover is likely to freeze. If it is low temperature weather, such as rainy and snowy weather, the temperature of the vehicle's charging port cover is likely to freeze, and the control module 3 will send a low temperature signal to the preheating module 2. Otherwise, no low temperature signal will be sent. When the preheating module 2 receives the low temperature signal, at least one low-power electric heating module 10 on the preheating module 2 will continue to perform low temperature detection on the charging port cover area according to a preset detection time and a preset detection frequency during the period when the vehicle is parked, and can preheat according to the preset time and preset heating frequency to maintain the temperature of the vehicle's charging port cover area slightly above the freezing point, thereby preventing freezing. At the same time, preheating according to the preset time and frequency can save energy.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the thawing module 4 includes a heating unit 7. The thawing module 4 is connected to the output end of the control module 3 and is used to heat the charging port cover when receiving a charging port freezing signal.

After the thawing function is turned on, when the thawing module 4 receives the charging port freezing signal sent by the control module 3, it will start the thawing function and issue a thawing instruction, including precisely heating the joints of the vehicle charging port cover through the heating unit 7 to further melt the residual ice.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the defrosting module 4 includes an air outlet unit 8, which is connected to the output end of the control module 3 and is used to blow air toward the charging port cover when receiving a charging port freezing signal.

[0044] In an embodiment, combining Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet unit 8 is a device with the ability to output wind force, such as a fan that can output hot air. The output wind force can include multiple levels. When the thawing module 4 receives the charging port freezing signal, the process of blowing air to the charging port cover is, for example, the user can choose to turn on or off the thawing function corresponding to the thawing module 4 according to needs. After the thawing function is turned on, when the thawing module 4 receives the charging port freezing signal sent by the control module 3, it will start the thawing function and send out a thawing instruction including outputting hot air of a suitable wind force level through the air outlet unit 8. The wind force level is selected according to the freezing condition of the charging port cover and the energy consumption of the vehicle. The hot air will accurately heat the seams of the vehicle's charging port cover, and further blow away the residual ice and water stains.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the thawing module 4 further includes a vibration unit 9, which is connected to the output end of the control module 3 and is used to vibrate the charging port cover when receiving the charging port freezing signal.

[0046] In an embodiment, combining Figure 3 As shown, the vibration unit 9 is a device with effects such as vibration, such as an eccentric motor high-frequency vibration device. When the thawing module 4 receives the charging port freezing signal, the process of vibrating the charging port cover is, for example, the user can choose to turn on or off the thawing function corresponding to the thawing module 4 according to needs. When the thawing module 4 receives the charging port freezing signal sent by the control module 3, it will start the thawing function, and issuing the thawing instruction includes starting the vibration unit 9, such as starting the eccentric motor high-frequency vibration device, and the ice layer is separated from the charging port cover through the vibration of the vibration unit 9.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the heating device 1 also includes a detection module 5, which is connected to the input end of the control module 3 and is used to output status information of the charging port cover when receiving a user signal.

[0048] In an embodiment, combining Figure 3 As shown, the detection module 5 includes a device for detecting functions such as human activity information, such as an infrared sensor. When the detection module 5 receives a user signal, it outputs the status information of the charging port cover. For example, the user can choose to turn on or off the defrosting function corresponding to the defrosting module 4 according to needs. After the defrosting function is turned on, the infrared sensor in the detection module 5 will send the user information as a user signal to the detection module 5 after receiving the user information that the user has a driving demand. After receiving the user information, the detection module 5 will output the status information of the charging port cover in combination with the received temperature information of the charging port cover, wherein the temperature information of the charging port cover, such as the temperature of the charging port cover; the status information of the charging port cover includes the status information of whether the charging port cover has been frozen or the charging port cover has not been frozen. For example, setting a preset temperature threshold is the status information of the charging port cover being frozen. The critical value of the charging port cover is determined. When the detection module 5 receives the user signal, the detection module 5 will determine whether the temperature of the charging port cover is lower than the preset temperature threshold, and output the status information of the charging port cover. If the temperature of the charging port cover is lower than the preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the charging port cover is frozen, and the status information of "the charging port cover is frozen" is output. If the temperature of the charging port cover is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the charging port cover is not frozen, and the status information of "the charging port cover is not frozen" is output. After the status information of the charging port cover is output to the control module 3, it will be notified to the user through the control module 3. At the same time, if the status information of the charging port cover received by the control module 3 is "the charging port cover is frozen", the charging port freezing signal will be issued to control the thawing of the vehicle's charging port cover, reduce damage to the charging port, and enhance the user's car experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the detection module 5 includes a first detection unit 11 connected to the input end of the control module 3 and configured to receive user signals within a preset range.

[0050] In an embodiment, combining Figure 3 As shown, the first detection unit 11 is a device with functions such as detecting human activity information, such as an infrared sensor.

The user includes but is not limited to the driver or a person designated to check the vehicle status. The user signal includes user information, and the user information is information that the user has a driving demand. The detection module 5 receives user signals within the preset range. For example, the user can turn on the defrost function corresponding to the defrost module 4 as needed. After the defrost function is turned on, when the user reaches the preset range, it is determined that the user has a driving demand. The first detection unit 11 receives the user information of the user approaching and sends it to the detection module 5 to perform corresponding detection based on the user information.

For example, the user can choose to turn on or off the defrosting function corresponding to the defrost module 4 as needed. After the defrost function is turned on, when the user reaches a preset range, the first detection unit 11 will be triggered, such as triggering an infrared sensor. At the same time, the second detection unit 6, such as a temperature sensor, will detect and obtain the temperature information of the charging port cover. The temperature information is such as the temperature of the charging port cover. The second detection unit 6 sends the obtained temperature information of the charging port cover to the detection module 5, so that the detection module 5 can output the status information of the charging port cover according to the temperature information of the charging port cover.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the control module 3 is further configured to receive the vibration frequency of the vibration unit in the thawing module and / or the air outlet level of the air outlet unit and / or the heating power of the heating unit.
