TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular, to a vehicle temperature control system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, when a user starts a traditional vehicle, the air conditioner will often be affected by external factors such as direct sunlight and high-temperature weather, which can affect the cooling effect of the air conditioning system. In direct sunlight or high-temperature weather, the temperature inside the vehicle will rise rapidly, causing the air conditioning system to take a longer time to reduce the temperature inside the vehicle. After the vehicle is turned off, some hot air from the previous use can be left in the air conditioning pipeline. After a cold start and the air conditioner is turned on, the remaining hot air will be blown out first, and only after the hot air in the pipeline is completely discharged, the cold air will begin to blow out. This greatly enhances the discomfort of the user's body, and also exacerbates the volatilization of harmful gases such as formaldehyde, toluene, and xylene in the materials of the carpet, ceiling, and floor mat inside the vehicle.
[0003] If the air conditioner is turned on in advance before entering the vehicle cabin, it will be time-consuming and oil-consuming, which is very uneconomical. A comfortable vehicle cabin environment can reduce fatigue, improve mood, and thus improve work efficiency and driving safety. Therefore, how to ensure that the temperature inside the vehicle cabin parked outdoors is not too high and improve the comfort of the vehicle is a problem worth exploring. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture for vehicles to which the present disclosure can be applied is shown.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture may include a dashcam 110, an in-vehicle camera (temperature sensor) 120, a central control display screen 130, a touchpad 140, a solar panel 150, and a ventilation assembly 160. The system architecture may also include an AR HUD, a microphone, a speaker, and a radar unit (not shown in the figures). The system architecture also includes a vehicle infotainment system (not shown in the figures) that establishes communication connections with the central control display screen and the AR HUD respectively. The vehicle infotainment system may include a SOC module and an MCU module.
[0031] The radar unit is used to detect objects around the vehicle (vehicles, pedestrians, green belts, etc.) and measure the distance between the vehicle and the objects. Figure 1 The touchpad 140 shown is just an example of one mounted on the steering wheel; it can also be mounted on other vehicle components such as the dashboard and armrest. The windshield can be used as a projection screen for the AR HUD to display augmented reality information.
[0032] The dashcam 110 is used to record video images and sound of the entire driving process of a car.
[0033] The vehicle-mounted camera 120 can be a roof-mounted panoramic camera or cameras mounted on each side of the vehicle body. In some embodiments, the position and angle of the vehicle-mounted camera 120 can be adjusted as needed, and can be adjusted via voice commands, button commands, touch commands, etc. For example, a user can send a voice command such as "adjust the angle of the front camera upwards by 10 degrees" or "adjust the position of the front camera downwards by 1 centimeter." In other embodiments, such as a roof-mounted panoramic camera, it can acquire panoramic images around the vehicle body, and can crop images within a specific angle range from the panoramic images for image display or corner recognition according to instructions.
[0034] The touchpad 140 can be mounted on vehicle components such as the dashboard or steering wheel, allowing users to input touch commands to adjust the position of calibration points. For example, the touchpad consists of multiple piezoelectric vibrators, which can be mounted on the back of the touchpad. When pressure is applied to the surface of the touchpad, elastic waves are generated. These elastic waves are then transmitted to different piezoelectric vibrators, where corresponding elastic waveforms are picked up. These elastic waveforms have essentially the same shape, differing only in their arrival time and amplitude.
[0035] In some implementations, the touch position can be identified based on the TOF (Time of Flight) principle to obtain the touch command received by the touchpad 140: receiving voltage signals collected by multiple piezoelectric vibrators; determining a characteristic time point corresponding to each voltage signal based on at least one voltage point with similarity among the multiple voltage signals; the characteristic time point being determined based on at least one time point corresponding to the at least one voltage point; determining at least three characteristic time point pairs among the multiple characteristic time points; and determining the touch position information based on the relative time difference corresponding to the at least three characteristic time point pairs and the position information of a pair of piezoelectric vibrators corresponding to each relative time difference.
[0036] In other embodiments, the touch position can be identified and the touch command received by the touchpad 140 can be obtained by geometric calculation based on the relationship between the reciprocal of the detected voltage value and the distance: by receiving electrical signals collected by multiple piezoelectric vibrators respectively, and determining a first electrical signal point corresponding to each of the multiple electrical signals based on at least one electrical signal point with similarity among the multiple electrical signals, the first electrical signal point obtained can characterize the signal value of the touch point at the first time point collected by the piezoelectric vibrator; at the same time, by determining the proportional relationship between multiple first touch distances based on the first electrical signal point corresponding to each of the multiple electrical signals, the first touch distance is the distance between the piezoelectric vibrator and the touch point at the first time point. Based on the position information of multiple piezoelectric vibrators, the position information of the touch point at the first time point is determined. This takes into account the principle that the farther away from the touch point, the greater the attenuation of the mechanical elastic wave, the smaller the pressure sensing of the mechanical elastic wave on the piezoelectric vibrator, and the smaller the corresponding electrical signal output. By combining the position information of each piezoelectric vibrator, the touch point can be located through geometric relationships. At the same time, since the piezoelectric vibrator can be perfectly integrated with the surface material of the vehicle and has the characteristics of sun exposure resistance, it has stable performance when facing the complex usage scenarios of the vehicle. By determining the proportional relationship between the first touch distance through the first electrical signal point, and then combining the position information of the piezoelectric vibrator, the position information of the touch point can be accurately determined.
[0037] The central control display screen 130 can be any type of display screen, such as the display screen of a DVR (Digital Video Recorder), or a central control screen, instrument panel screen, or passenger-side screen. It can also be an electronic device display screen that establishes a communication connection with the vehicle. The vehicle-mounted camera 120 and the central control display screen 130 can be connected via wired or wireless communication. For example, images captured by the vehicle-mounted camera 120 can be transmitted to the central control display screen 130 for display via WiFi, Bluetooth, or satellite imagery technology.
[0038] In some embodiments, the central control display screen 130 may be a touch screen for receiving instructions to adjust the display screen, such as zooming the displayed screen by swiping with a finger.
[0039] AR HUD is configured to project content from the central control display screen.
[0040] The vehicle's infotainment system is configured to receive signals sent by the user via the central control display, touchpad, microphone, or buttons.
[0041] Cloud servers can provide map and navigation data.
[0042] The vehicle camera 120 can be a 360-degree panoramic camera. It is connected to a processor at the vehicle's infotainment port, which can read and process vehicle data. Radar sensors connected to the processor are installed at both ends of the front and rear bumpers on the vehicle, and the turn signal switch wires are connected to the processor.
[0043] The vehicle-mounted camera 120 collects image data from around the vehicle, creating a 360-degree panoramic overhead view of the vehicle's surroundings. The processor reads this image data. The processor reads data from the vehicle's infotainment system via a chip, then processes the vehicle's electronic power steering data along with the vehicle's track width and wheelbase data to obtain vehicle trajectory prediction data. This trajectory prediction data is then merged with the 360-degree panoramic overhead view to produce a panoramic overhead image with predicted driving trajectory.
[0044] The vehicle camera 120 may also include a camera located inside the vehicle for capturing facial images of passengers inside the vehicle and identifying the number of passengers and their emotional state through the images.
[0045] The solar panel 150 is installed on the vehicle's dashboard, or it can be installed in other locations. The solar panel's light-receiving surface is at least partially adapted to receive sunlight transmitted through the windshield. The solar panel is made of wear-resistant material and can be used as a regular dashboard where items such as tissues can be placed.
[0046] At least one temperature sensor is located inside the vehicle; such as Figure 1 As shown, it can be installed on the vehicle camera 120, or in other locations, such as the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar of the vehicle. The temperature sensor can be connected to the vehicle's infotainment system via wired or wireless communication.
[0047] At least one ventilation component 160 is installed at the air vent of the vehicle's air conditioning system to exhaust air from inside the vehicle to the outside; such as Figure 1 As shown, it can be installed on the air vent of the air conditioner in front of the seat.
[0048] A vehicle-mounted infotainment system, installed in the vehicle (e.g., hidden below the central control display screen 130), the vehicle-mounted infotainment system comprising:
[0049] An MCU module that is directly communicatively connected to the solar panel, the temperature sensor, and the ventilation assembly, respectively.
[0050] And a SOC module, which is communicatively connected to the MCU module, to issue control commands to the solar panel, the temperature sensor and the ventilation assembly.
[0051] The connection relationships between the modules of the vehicle temperature control system are as follows: Figure 2As shown. The solar panel 201 is connected to the MCU module 2042 in the vehicle infotainment system 204, and the solar panel 201 is also connected to the ventilation assembly 203. The MCU module 2042 is connected to the SOC module 2041, the temperature sensor 202 and the ventilation assembly 203 in the vehicle infotainment system 204, respectively.
[0052] Temperature sensor 202 sends the measured interior temperature to MCU module 2042. MCU module 2042 determines whether ventilation is needed based on the temperature. If ventilation is required, it first checks if the solar panel 201 has sufficient energy storage. If insufficient energy storage is detected, it sends feedback on the solar panel 201's energy storage status to SOC module 2041, which displays a prompt on the central control display screen of vehicle infotainment system 204. If sufficient energy storage is detected, it sends an enable command to ventilation component 203. Upon receiving the enable command, ventilation component 203 activates the ventilation function, causing the interior temperature to drop. Ventilation is depleted when energy storage is exhausted or the temperature reaches the set temperature. This solves the problem of excessive temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle after the user enters. Excessive vehicle temperature can also cause residual hot air in the air conditioning ducts, preventing the air conditioning system from cooling quickly.
[0053] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the system also includes a battery 205 connected to the solar panel 201. The battery stores the electrical energy converted by the solar panel 201 and is used to power the ventilation assembly 203. The solar panel 201 receives sunlight in real time and converts it into electrical energy, which is then rectified and stored in the battery 205. The battery 205 can be the vehicle's original battery or a battery specifically designed for the solar panel 201. The battery 205 can power not only the ventilation assembly 203 but also other devices, such as speakers, headlights, a central control display, and air conditioning.
[0054] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the system also includes an instrument display screen 206, connected to the MCU module 2042, for displaying the battery's power information. The MCU module 2042 is connected to the solar panel 201, and can query the power level of the solar panel 201 and output the power information to the instrument display screen 206. In addition to displaying the power percentage, it can also display prompt messages, such as "Low power, please check the solar panel".
[0055] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the system also includes a central control display screen 207, connected to the SOC module 2041, for displaying the operating status of the ventilation component 203. The operating status may include ventilation in progress, ventilation complete, etc. The central control display screen 207 can also display the current temperature.
[0056] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, a folding bracket is provided below the solar panel 201. The folding bracket has an open state and a folded state. In the open state, the folding bracket supports the solar panel 201 as a sunshade for the windshield inside the vehicle. In the folded state, the folding bracket allows the solar panel 201 to lie flat on the vehicle's dashboard surface. The solar panel 201 can be used not only as a shelf for placing items but also as a sunshade. Opening the folding bracket allows the solar panel 201 to be supported in front of the windshield, maximizing sunlight absorption while preventing light from entering the vehicle interior.
[0057] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the system also includes a backup solar panel 208, connected to the MCU module 2042. The backup solar panel 208 is mounted on the vehicle roof or on a storage shelf in front of the rear windshield. Multiple solar panels can be used; the solar panel 201 on the vehicle dashboard can serve as the main solar panel, while the solar panel on the vehicle roof or on the storage shelf in front of the rear windshield can serve as the backup solar panel 208. The main solar panel 201 and the backup solar panel 208 can be used simultaneously. Solar energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery.
[0058] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the system also includes a backup solar panel 208 connected to the MCU module 2042. The backup solar panel 208 is mounted on the sun visor at the driver's side, and when the sun visor is open, at least part of the light-receiving surface of the backup solar panel 208 is adapted to receive sunlight transmitted through the windshield. The backup solar panel 208 is located on the side of the sun visor at the driver's side facing outwards, and can be used in conjunction with the main solar panel 201 and other backup solar panels 208 to convert solar energy into electrical energy stored in the battery. The backup solar panel 208 can also be mounted on the sun visor at the passenger side.
[0059] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the temperature sensor 202 is disposed on the B-pillar and / or C-pillar of the vehicle. At least one temperature sensor 202 can be disposed to simultaneously measure the interior temperature. If the measured temperature values are inconsistent, an average value can be calculated as the interior temperature. The location of the temperature sensor 202 is not limited to the B-pillar and / or C-pillar; it can also be located on the roof, etc.
[0060] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the central control display screen 207 further includes an input unit, and the SOC module 2041, in response to detecting that it is in a wake-up state, sends a message to the central control display screen 207 asking the user whether to stop ventilation; the central control display screen 207 outputs an option to stop ventilation for the user to select; the input unit receives options input by the user via voice or by clicking the display unit; if the user selects to stop ventilation, it sends a stop ventilation command to the SOC module 2041; the SOC module 2041, in response to receiving the stop ventilation command from the input unit, notifies the MCU module 2042 to send a stop ventilation command to the ventilation component 203. When the user returns to the vehicle and starts the vehicle, the vehicle system is woken up. The SOC module 2041 in the vehicle system 204 asks the user whether to stop ventilation via voice or the central control display screen 207. The user can select whether to stop ventilation via voice or on the central control display screen 207. If the user selects to stop ventilation, the SOC module 2041 controls the MCU module 2042 to send a stop ventilation command to the ventilation assembly 203. The ventilation assembly 203 stops ventilation, and the solar panel 201 stops supplying power.
[0061] The vehicle temperature control system executes the following process 300 during operation:
[0062] Step 301: In response to detecting that the SOC module is in a sleep state and the temperature is greater than a predetermined threshold, the MCU module queries the power of the solar panel.
[0063] In this embodiment, ventilation is only activated after the user leaves the vehicle and the vehicle's infotainment system enters a sleep state. The SOC module reports the sleep state to the MCU module, which obtains the interior temperature from the temperature sensor. Ventilation is only activated if the temperature is too high. However, activating the ventilation system requires sufficient power from the solar panels, so the power level of the solar panels must be checked first.
[0064] Step 302: In response to detecting sufficient power, the MCU module sends a command to the ventilation component to start ventilation.
[0065] In this embodiment, if the solar panel's power exceeds a predetermined percentage, for example, 30%, it indicates sufficient power, and the ventilation component can be activated for ventilation. The MCU module sends a command to the ventilation component to activate ventilation and instructs the solar panel to supply power to the ventilation component.
[0066] Step 303: In response to detecting insufficient power, the MCU module sends a low power message to the SOC module;
[0067] In this embodiment, if the power is insufficient, the MCU module must report to the SOC module, at which point ventilation cannot be performed.
[0068] Step 304: Upon receiving the low power message, the SOC module sends a ventilation failure message to the central control display screen.
[0069] In this embodiment, the SOC module needs to notify the user of a low battery message. This can be achieved by displaying a reminder on the central control screen to check if the solar panels are damaged. Alternatively, if the user's contact information is pre-linked, the message can be sent directly to the user's terminal, such as via SMS or email, to remind the user to check if the solar panels are damaged.
[0070] Step 305: Upon receiving the ventilation failure message, the central control display screen outputs a message reminding the user to check if the solar panels are damaged.
[0071] In this embodiment, when the vehicle's infotainment system is restarted, the central control display screen outputs a message reminding the user to check if the solar panels are damaged.
[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle temperature control system also includes a log unit 209, which is connected to the SOC module 2041 and is used to store historical driving data. The vehicle temperature control system executes the following process 400 during operation:
[0073] Step 401: The SOC module obtains historical driving data from the log unit and predicts the wake-up time based on the historical driving data;
[0074] In this embodiment, historical driving data may include the vehicle's wake-up time and sleep time. The correlation between sleep time and wake-up time can be statistically analyzed based on historical driving data. For example, if the vehicle sleeps between 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM, the next wake-up time will be between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM the following morning. If the vehicle sleeps between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM, the next wake-up time will be between 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM.
[0075] Optionally, historical driving data may also include the vehicle's sleep location, i.e., the parking location. The wake-up time can be estimated by combining the parking location and time; for example, if the vehicle is parked near home at night, the wake-up time is the next morning. If the vehicle is parked at work in the morning, the wake-up time is during lunch break or after get off work in the afternoon.
[0076] Step 402: The SOC module calculates the ventilation duration based on temperature and calculates the start-up time based on the wake-up time and ventilation duration;
[0077] In this embodiment, to avoid wasting time on excessively long ventilation times, the ventilation duration can be calculated based on temperature, and the start time can be calculated based on the wake-up time and ventilation duration. For example, although the interior temperature is 30 degrees Celsius, it takes 3 hours to drop to 25 degrees Celsius. However, since the vehicle is expected to be parked overnight and not started until the next morning, it is not necessary to ventilate all night; ventilation only needs to begin 3 hours before driving in the morning.
[0078] Step 403: Upon reaching the startup time point, the SOC module sends a command to the MCU module to start ventilation;
[0079] In this embodiment, ventilation is automatically activated at set intervals, eliminating the need for manual operation.
[0080] Step 404: The MCU module forwards the command to start ventilation to the ventilation component;
[0081] In this embodiment, if the solar panel's power level exceeds a predetermined percentage, for example, 30%, it indicates sufficient power, and the ventilation component can be activated for ventilation. The MCU module sends a command to the ventilation component to activate ventilation and instructs the solar panel to supply power to the ventilation component. If the power level is insufficient, the MCU module reports to the SOC module, and ventilation cannot proceed in this case.
[0082] Step 405: The ventilation component receives and executes the instruction to start ventilation.
[0083] In this embodiment, if the battery is sufficiently charged, the solar panel powers the ventilation system, activating ventilation. The SOC module needs to notify the user of low battery status, which can be achieved by displaying a message on the central control screen reminding the user to check for damage to the solar panel. Alternatively, if the user's contact information is pre-linked, the message can be sent directly to the user's terminal, for example, via SMS or email. Upon restarting the vehicle's infotainment system, the central control screen will display a message reminding the user to check for damage to the solar panel.
