Vehicle Air Outlet Control for Personalized Cabin Temperature
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for controlling air conditioning outlets in vehicles do not adequately consider individual passenger preferences, leading to poor user experience due to inefficient temperature adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A method that collects ambient and user-set temperatures to determine a target value, which is used to select a preset working mode for the air conditioning outlet, including specific air outlet directions, to optimize temperature control based on user requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic control of air conditioning outlet is implemented based on temperatures inside and outside the vehicle, then the operation convenience is improved, but the user experience deteriorates because individual passenger preferences are not considered
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the air conditioning control by dividing the vehicle interior into multiple detection zones corresponding to different passenger seats. Each zone has independent temperature sensors and the control system processes data separately for each zone, enabling individualized temperature control for different passengers based on their specific preferences and physiological characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing user profiles that store individual passenger preferences, physiological parameters, and historical temperature settings. When a passenger enters the vehicle, the system automatically retrieves and applies their preferred settings, eliminating the need for manual adjustment and providing personalized comfort from the start.
2Device complexity
If air outlet direction is adjusted only according to temperatures and air blower voltage, then the control simplicity is improved, but the temperature control precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements multi-level feedback mechanisms including real-time temperature sensing in multiple zones, continuous monitoring of air blower voltage and current, and feedback from user comfort evaluations. The control system continuously adjusts air outlet directions and blower voltage based on this feedback to achieve precise temperature control while maintaining simple operation for the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts air outlet directions and air blower voltage based on real-time conditions rather than using fixed predetermined settings. The control algorithm continuously optimizes the air flow distribution by changing outlet angles and blower power levels to achieve precise temperature control adaptively.
