First, in step S101, after the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit receives a start-up heat exchange instruction, the controller 15 controls the first air inlet 112 to communicate with the heat exchange channel, that is, controls the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit to be in an active air supply mode. It should be noted that, the present invention does not limit the specific form of sending the startup heat exchange instruction, and the instruction may be a text instruction, a language instruction, or a gesture instruction; the information can be sent through a mobile terminal in communication connection with the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit, and also can be sent through a control terminal of a vehicle, which are not restrictive, and technicians can set the information according to actual use requirements.
Next, in step S102, after the first air inlet 112 is communicated with the heat exchange channel for a preset time, the temperature in the vehicle is obtained, and according to the temperature in the vehicle, the second air inlet 113 is selectively controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel, that is, the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is selectively controlled to switch to the natural air supply mode, so that the naturally flowing air passing through the casing 11 during the vehicle driving process is effectively utilized to exchange heat with the condenser 21, the use frequency of the external air blower 12 is reduced, and further, the number of charging and discharging times of the vehicle-mounted battery can be effectively reduced, thereby achieving the purposes of protecting the vehicle-mounted battery and prolonging the service life, and also effectively reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit.
It should be noted that, the specific acquiring mode of the in-vehicle temperature is not limited, and the in-vehicle temperature may be determined by a temperature sensor arranged in the vehicle according to an average value of the in-vehicle temperatures in different time periods, or may be a real-time temperature in the vehicle, which is not restrictive; preferably, the temperature in the vehicle is the real-time temperature in the vehicle, so that the operation mode of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit can be changed in time, and the energy consumption is reduced. In addition, the present invention does not impose any limitation on the determination manner of the preset time period, which may be set by the user, or may be set according to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit and the vehicle, which is not restrictive.
It should be further noted that, the present invention does not limit any specific determination manner for switching the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit to the natural air supply mode according to the in-vehicle temperature, and the in-vehicle temperature may be compared with the target temperature, or may be compared with the in-vehicle temperature before and after switching; in addition, the judgment can be carried out only through the temperature in the vehicle, other parameters such as the displacement speed of the vehicle can also be introduced for joint judgment, the judgment is not limited, and the technical personnel can set the judgment according to the actual use condition.
As a preferable setting manner, whether the second air inlet 113 is communicated with the heat exchange channel is judged more intuitively and quickly, and the judgment is performed according to the difference between the in-vehicle temperature and the target temperature in this embodiment.
Specifically, first, in step S103, an absolute value of a difference between the in-vehicle temperature and a target temperature is calculated, and the second air inlet is selectively controlled to communicate with the heat exchange channel according to the absolute value of the difference between the in-vehicle temperature and the target temperature. Further, in steps S104 and S105, if the absolute value of the difference between the in-vehicle temperature and the target temperature is greater than or equal to the preset value, the second air inlet 113 is not controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel, that is, the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit continues to be in the active air supply mode; on the contrary, if the absolute value of the difference between the in-vehicle temperature and the target temperature is smaller than the preset value, the displacement speed of the vehicle is further acquired, and the second air inlet 113 is selectively controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel according to the displacement speed of the vehicle.
It should be noted that, the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific determination manner of the target temperature and the preset value, and the present invention may be set by the user, or may be set according to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit and the vehicle; preferably, the target temperature is 20 ℃ and the preset value is 3 ℃, so that the stable operation of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is ensured, meanwhile, the active air supply mode can be switched to the natural air supply mode in time, the energy consumption is reduced, and the service life of a vehicle-mounted battery is ensured.
Further preferably, in steps S106 and S107, if the displacement speed of the vehicle is less than the preset displacement speed, the second air inlet 113 is not controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel; on the contrary, if the displacement speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to the preset displacement speed, the second air inlet 113 is controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel, that is, the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is controlled to be switched from the active air supply mode to the natural air supply mode, so that the naturally flowing air passing through the casing 11 during the running process of the vehicle is effectively utilized to exchange heat with the condenser 21.
It should be noted that, the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific obtaining manner of the displacement speed of the vehicle, and the obtaining manner may be obtained according to a vehicle running speed detector set by the vehicle itself, or may be obtained by calculation according to the actual running time and running distance of the vehicle, which is not restrictive; preferably, the preset displacement speed is 20km/h, so that the use requirement of a user is effectively met, the energy consumption of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is effectively reduced, and the service life of a vehicle-mounted battery is ensured. In addition, it should be noted that, the present invention does not impose any limitation on the determination method of the preset displacement speed, and the present invention may be set by the user, or may be set according to the actual operating conditions of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit and the vehicle, and the technician may set by himself according to the actual conditions.
Further, in step S108, under the condition that the second air inlet 113 is communicated with the heat exchange channel, that is, under the condition that the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is in the natural air supply mode, the temperature in the vehicle is acquired again, and according to the acquired temperature in the vehicle, the first air inlet 112 is selectively controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel, so as to effectively ensure the actual demand of the user. It should be noted that, the time for acquiring the temperature in the vehicle again is not limited, and the time can be acquired after the preset target time length or in real time, which is not restrictive; preferably, after the preset time, the temperature in the vehicle is acquired again, so that the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is effectively prevented from being frequently switched between an active air supply mode and a natural air supply mode, and the vehicle is prevented from being damaged by the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit.
Specifically, in steps S109 and S110, when the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is in a cooling condition, if the temperature in the vehicle obtained again rises, the first air inlet 112 is controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel; of course, the first air inlet 112 may be controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel after the re-acquired in-vehicle temperature rises to the preset temperature rise value, or the first air inlet 112 may be controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel as long as the re-acquired in-vehicle temperature rises; as a preferable setting mode, after the temperature in the vehicle obtained again rises to the preset temperature rise value, the first air inlet 112 may be controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel, so as to effectively prevent the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit from being frequently switched between an active air supply mode and a natural air supply mode to damage the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit to set the vehicle. On the contrary, if the temperature in the vehicle obtained again does not rise, the first air inlet 112 is not controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel.
Next, in steps S111 and S112, when the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is in a heating working condition, if the temperature in the vehicle obtained again drops, controlling the first air inlet 112 to be communicated with the heat exchange channel; of course, the first air inlet 112 may be controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel after the re-acquired in-vehicle temperature decreases to the preset temperature decrease value, or the first air inlet 112 may be controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel as long as the re-acquired in-vehicle temperature decreases; as a preferable setting mode, after the temperature in the vehicle obtained again drops to the preset cooling value, the first air inlet 112 may be controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel, so as to effectively prevent the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit from being frequently switched between an active air supply mode and a natural air supply mode to damage the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit to set the vehicle. On the contrary, if the temperature in the vehicle obtained again does not decrease, the first air inlet 112 is not controlled to be communicated with the heat exchange channel.
It should be noted that, the present invention does not limit any specific determination manner of the preset temperature-increasing value and the preset temperature-decreasing value, and the determination manner may be set by a user, or may be set according to actual operating conditions of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit and the vehicle, which is not restrictive.
In addition, it should be noted that, in the case that the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit is in the active air supply mode, the timing for switching the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit to the natural air supply mode may be determined only by the in-vehicle temperature, or may be determined by both the in-vehicle temperature and the displacement speed of the vehicle; preferably, the time for switching the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit to the natural air supply mode can be determined through the temperature in the vehicle and the displacement speed of the vehicle, so that on the basis of effectively ensuring the stable operation of the vehicle-mounted air conditioning unit, the energy consumption can be further effectively reduced, and the service life of a vehicle-mounted battery is further effectively ensured.
