Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicles lack effective methods for automatically adjusting air-conditioner parameters to address sudden weather changes, leading to windshield misting that obstructs the driver's view, posing safety hazards, especially for inexperienced drivers.
Innovation Solution
A networked interaction method utilizing a cloud server to analyze and distribute benchmarking information for optimal air-conditioner settings based on data from vehicles in similar environments, enabling vehicles to adjust parameters for demisting effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the air conditioner operates at fixed low speed, then energy consumption is reduced, but the response to temperature changes is slow
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner implements dynamic speed adjustment by switching between low speed mode during stable temperature conditions and high speed mode during temperature transitions. The controller monitors temperature changes and automatically adjusts the compressor and fan speeds, transforming the system from static to dynamic operation to resolve the contradiction between energy efficiency and response speed.
2Ease of operation
If the air conditioner adjusts temperature frequently, then user comfort is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs feedback control by continuously monitoring the temperature sensor data and comparing it with the target temperature. The controller adjusts the compressor and fan operations based on this feedback, enabling precise temperature maintenance that improves comfort while avoiding unnecessary frequent adjustments that would waste energy.
Solution Approach 2:
The air conditioner dynamically adjusts its operation intensity based on the degree of temperature deviation. When temperature is stable, it operates at low intensity; when temperature deviates significantly, it increases intensity. This dynamic adjustment optimizes the balance between user comfort and energy consumption.
3Speed
If the air conditioner operates at high speed, then temperature adjustment response is fast, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner uses periodic action by operating at high speed only during necessary temperature adjustment periods, then switching to low speed for maintenance periods. This periodic switching between high and low speed modes ensures fast response when needed while minimizing energy consumption during stable operation.
