Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims.

It should be noted that, all actions for acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are performed under the condition of conforming to the corresponding data protection rule policy of the country of the location and obtaining the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of an in-vehicle refrigerator according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the in-vehicle refrigerator control method may be applied to a vehicle, and may include the following steps.

In step 110, a first amount of power required for the vehicle to travel to the destination is determined based on the first location of the vehicle and the second location of the destination.

Here, the first position of the vehicle may refer to current position information of the vehicle. The first position may be obtained by a positioning system, which may be a Beidou satellite navigation system (Beidou Navigation Satellite System, BDS) or a global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS). The second location of the destination may be obtained through navigation information of the mobile terminal or navigation information of the car machine.

It should be understood that the destination may be a charging station reserved by the user in advance, or may be a destination arbitrarily set by the user in the navigation system. For example, a distance from the first location to the second location may be determined based on the first location of the vehicle and the second location of the destination, and then a first amount of power required for the vehicle to travel from the first location to the destination may be calculated based on the distance.

It should be noted that, the first electric quantity required for the vehicle to travel from the first location to the destination may be calculated according to the distance, which may be calculated according to the hundred kilometers of power consumption of the vehicle and the distance from the first location to the second location. Of course, the hundred kilometers of power consumption may refer to hundred kilometers of power consumption of the vehicle under the current working condition. It should be appreciated that the power consumption of a vehicle may vary over several kilometers under different conditions, for example, the power consumption of a vehicle may be greater over several kilometers when the air conditioner is on.

In step 120, a second amount of power is determined that is allocated to the in-vehicle refrigerator based on the first amount of power and the remaining amount of power of the vehicle.

Here, the remaining power of the vehicle may refer to the remaining power of a battery pack of the vehicle at the current time, and in the hybrid vehicle, the remaining power may be understood as a range of the vehicle.

The second amount of electricity allocated to the in-vehicle refrigerator may be determined according to a difference between the remaining amount of electricity of the vehicle and the first amount of electricity. Of course, the second power amount allocated to the on-vehicle refrigerator may also be determined according to the remaining power amount, the first power amount, and power consumption amounts of other power consumption devices in the vehicle (e.g., a mobile terminal charged by the vehicle).

It should be understood that the second amount of electricity allocated to the in-vehicle refrigerator may refer to an amount of electricity that the in-vehicle refrigerator can use on the basis of ensuring that the vehicle can travel from the first location to the second location.

In step 130, the in-vehicle refrigerator is controlled according to the second amount of electricity.

Here, after the second electric quantity allocated to the in-vehicle refrigerator is obtained, the cooling process of the in-vehicle refrigerator may be controlled according to the second electric quantity.

As some examples, in the case where the second electric quantity is equal to 0, a notification message for prompting the user whether to turn off the in-vehicle refrigerator may be output through the car machine or the mobile terminal of the vehicle.

Wherein when the remaining power of the vehicle is less than or equal to the first power, the second power that can be allocated to the in-vehicle refrigerator is 0. The second charge equal to 0 characterizes the remaining charge of the vehicle as being required to be fully used to ensure a range to enable the vehicle to travel to a destination. At this time, the vehicle may output a notification message for prompting a user whether to close the on-vehicle refrigerator through the vehicle machine or the mobile terminal, and control the on-vehicle refrigerator to be powered off and stop cooling in response to closing the on-vehicle refrigerator. Alternatively, the in-vehicle refrigerator is controlled to continue cooling in response to not shutting down the in-vehicle refrigerator.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a notification message shown according to an example embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the notification message may include an "off" option and a "no off" option, and when the user selects the "off" option, it indicates that the user prioritizes the driving range of the vehicle, and then, in response to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator being turned off, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is controlled to be powered off, and the cooling is stopped, so as to ensure that the remaining power of the vehicle can enable the vehicle to drive to the destination. When the user selects the option of 'not closing', the user is indicated to give priority to the refrigeration of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator, and the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is controlled to continue to refrigerate in response to the fact that the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is not closed, so that the articles in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator are guaranteed not to deteriorate.

It should be noted that, the notification message may be used to prompt the user to select whether to continue to open the vehicle-mounted refrigerator according to the requirement (the duration requirement or the fresh-keeping requirement). It should be appreciated that when the notification message is presented on the vehicle, it may be presented in a display area that does not affect the user's driving. For example, when the vehicle is displaying the navigation information, the notification message may be displayed outside the navigation information, so as to avoid that the notification message affects the driving safety of the user.

As still other examples, in the case where the second electric quantity is greater than 0, the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator may be controlled according to the second electric quantity. For example, the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator is maintained within a temperature range set by a user.

Therefore, the first electric quantity required by the vehicle to travel to the destination is determined according to the first position of the vehicle and the second position of the destination, the second electric quantity distributed to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is determined according to the first electric quantity and the residual electric quantity of the vehicle, and then the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is controlled according to the second electric quantity, so that the vehicle can control the start and stop of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator according to the range and/or different requirements of the user, and the user can meet the requirements of the user on the vehicle-mounted refrigerator on the premise of ensuring the range of the vehicle, and the user experience is improved.

In some application scenarios, when the range of the vehicle is low, the user may search for the charging station nearby and input the location information of the charging station in the navigation system of the vehicle. At this time, since the remaining power of the vehicle is low, it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle can travel to the charging station with enough power first, at this time, the first power required for the vehicle to travel to the charging station can be determined according to the first position of the vehicle and the second position of the charging station, the second power is determined according to the first power and the remaining power, and the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is controlled according to the second power.

Fig. 3 is a detailed flow chart of step 130 shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, in some implementations that may be implemented, step 130 may include the steps of:

in step 131, an ambient temperature of the vehicle is determined.

Here, the ambient temperature of the vehicle may refer to a real-time temperature of the interior of the vehicle, which may be obtained by a temperature sensor provided on the vehicle.

In step 132, the unit power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is determined according to the ambient temperature of the vehicle and the first target temperature corresponding to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator.

Here, the first target temperature corresponding to the in-vehicle refrigerator may refer to a temperature that the in-vehicle refrigerator needs to maintain, and for example, the first target temperature may be 4 ℃. It should be understood that the first target temperature may be a cooling temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator set by the user, or may be a cooling temperature of the vehicle set according to the items stored in the in-vehicle refrigerator.

The unit power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator refers to the unit power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator for maintaining the first target temperature under the corresponding environment temperature. It should be understood that the higher the ambient temperature, the higher the power consumption per unit, with the first target temperature being the same.

For example, the unit power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator may be determined according to a mapping relationship between different ambient temperatures, different cooling temperatures, and the unit power consumption.

At the same refrigerating temperature, the ambient temperature is in direct proportion to the unit power consumption. That is, the higher the ambient temperature, the greater the power consumption per unit at the same cooling temperature. For example, when the ambient temperature reaches 32 ℃, the unit power consumption of the in-vehicle refrigerator may be 2 times that of the ambient temperature of 25 ℃, and when the ambient temperature is 30 ℃, the unit power consumption may be 1.6 times that of 25 ℃.

In step 133, a target electric quantity is determined according to the unit power consumption and a driving time period required for driving from the first position to the second position, wherein the target electric quantity is an electric quantity required for maintaining the first target temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator during the driving time period.

Here, the travel time period required to travel from the first position to the second position refers to the travel time period required for the vehicle to travel from the first position to the second position. The travel time period may be determined by a travel time period corresponding to a navigation route from a first location to a second location in the navigation system.

For example, the target electric quantity may be determined from the product between the unit electric power consumption and the travel time period.

It is worth to say that the target electric quantity is the electric quantity required by the vehicle-mounted refrigerator to maintain the first target temperature in the driving time. For example, assuming that the vehicle travels from the point a to the point B for 120 minutes, the first target temperature is 4 ℃, the ambient temperature is 28 ℃, the unit power consumption corresponding to the ambient temperature of 28 ℃ and the first target temperature of 4 ℃ is 1 degree/hour, and accordingly, the target power amount is 1 degree/hour, 2 hours = 2 degrees.

It should be noted that, as the ambient temperature of the vehicle changes, the target electric power also changes accordingly. In some embodiments, the ambient temperature of the vehicle may be periodically determined, and the above steps 131 to 133 are performed for each determined ambient temperature of the vehicle to determine the target electric quantity.

In step 134, the on-vehicle refrigerator is controlled according to the second electric quantity and the target electric quantity.

Here, the in-vehicle refrigerator may be controlled according to a result of comparison between the second electric quantity and the target electric quantity.

In some embodiments, in the event that the second electrical quantity is less than the target electrical quantity, the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator is linearly increased until the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator reaches a second target temperature, wherein the second target temperature is greater than the first target temperature.

Here, the first target temperature may refer to an optimum temperature of the articles stored in the in-vehicle refrigerator, and the second target temperature may refer to a limit preservation temperature of the articles stored in the in-vehicle refrigerator. Taking medical supplies as an example, the preservation temperature of the vaccine A is 4 ℃ to 8 ℃, correspondingly, the 8 ℃ is the ultimate preservation temperature, and if the temperature exceeds 8 ℃, the vaccine A can be deteriorated, and the 5 ℃ is the optimum temperature.

The second electric quantity is smaller than the target electric quantity, and the fact that the temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator cannot be maintained at the first target temperature all the time under the condition that the endurance mileage of the vehicle is guaranteed is indicated. Under the condition that the second electric quantity is smaller than the target electric quantity, the refrigerating temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator cannot be kept at the first target temperature all the time in the running time, and at the moment, the temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator can be linearly increased until the temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator reaches the second target temperature. The temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is increased linearly according to a preset time interval. For example, every 10 minutes, the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator increases by 0.5 ℃.

It should be appreciated that by linearly increasing the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator until the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator reaches the second target temperature, the cooling duration of the in-vehicle refrigerator may be increased so that the items in the in-vehicle refrigerator can be stored at the limit storage temperature (second target temperature) for a longer period of time.

In still other embodiments, the on-board refrigerator is controlled to maintain the temperature at the first target temperature in the event that the second power is greater than or equal to the target power.

It should be appreciated that the second power level is greater than or equal to the target power level, which means that the temperature of the on-board refrigerator may be maintained at the first target temperature all the time while the vehicle is guaranteed to last the range. Under the condition that the second electric quantity is larger than or equal to the target electric quantity, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator can always maintain the refrigeration temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator at the first target temperature in a driving time period, and then the refrigeration of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator can be always started.

Therefore, through the steps 131 to 134, the target electric quantity for maintaining the first target temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator in the driving time period can be accurately calculated, so that the refrigerating effect of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is adjusted according to the second electric quantity and the target electric quantity, the articles stored in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator are ensured not to deteriorate as much as possible, and the use experience of a user is greatly improved.

In some implementations, a captured image of an interior of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator may be acquired, a target type corresponding to an object stored in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator may be determined according to the captured image, and a first target temperature corresponding to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator may be determined according to the target type.

Here, the photographed image of the inside of the in-vehicle refrigerator may be acquired by a photographing device provided inside the in-vehicle refrigerator. Then, by photographing an image, a target type corresponding to an article stored in the in-vehicle refrigerator is determined. The object type corresponding to the object stored in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator can refer to object information corresponding to the object, such as fruits, beverages, medical supplies, frozen meat and the like.

For example, the captured image may be input into a trained image recognition model to obtain the target type. The trained image recognition model may be obtained by training a machine learning model, which may be a neural network model such as a convolutional neural network model, using a sample image marked with type information of different articles.

After the target type corresponding to the object stored in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is obtained, a first target temperature corresponding to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator can be obtained by searching in the mapping relation between different types and the refrigerating temperature according to the target type. It should be understood that in this mapping, different refrigeration temperatures are associated for different types of articles.

It is to be noted that, in the case where a plurality of types of articles are stored in the in-vehicle refrigerator, a plurality of temperature values may be determined. In this regard, the lowest temperature value among the plurality of temperature values may be taken as the first target temperature. Of course, a plurality of temperature values may also be presented and the first target temperature value determined in response to a user selected temperature value.

Therefore, the intelligent identification can be carried out on the articles stored in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator, so that the first target temperature suitable for the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is set according to the target type, and the use experience of a user is improved.

In some implementations, when the second electric quantity is smaller than the first preset electric quantity, determining a target charging station according to a navigation route from the first position to the second position, recommending the target charging station, and outputting prompt information, wherein the prompt information is used for prompting a user that the temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator cannot be maintained at the third target temperature if the vehicle is not charged.

Here, the first preset electric quantity may refer to the above-described target electric quantity, that is, the first preset electric quantity may be an electric quantity required for the on-vehicle refrigerator to maintain the third target temperature for a travel time period from the first position to the second position. The third target temperature may be the first target temperature described above. Of course, the first preset electric quantity may be a value set according to actual situations.

And under the condition that the second electric quantity is smaller than the first preset electric quantity, the fact that the temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator cannot be always maintained at the third target temperature is indicated. At this time, the vehicle may determine the target charging station according to the navigation route from the first location to the second location. The navigation route is a route from a first position to a second position, which is set by a user on the mobile terminal or the vehicle.

After determining the target charging station, the target charging station may be recommended to the user by the vehicle or the mobile terminal. And outputting prompt information for prompting the user that the temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator cannot be maintained at the third target temperature without charging the vehicle.

Wherein the vehicle may set the navigation route to a route that navigates to the target charging station in response to selecting the target charging station. If the user does not select the recommended target charging station, the result that the user selects to accept the possible deterioration of the articles stored in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is indicated.

Therefore, the user can intuitively know the influence of the residual electric quantity of the vehicle on the vehicle-mounted refrigerator by recommending the target charging station and outputting the prompt information, so that the user can select whether to charge the vehicle according to the requirements, and the user can intelligently select a proper charging station by recommending the target charging station, so that the user experience of the user on using the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is greatly improved.

In some implementations, at least one candidate charging station may be determined based on the navigation route from the first location to the second location, and the target charging station may be determined from the at least one candidate charging station based on the first location of the vehicle, the remaining charge of the vehicle, the third target temperature, and the third location of the candidate charging station.

Here, the candidate charging stations may be charging stations that deviate from the navigation route by no more than a preset distance threshold. For example, the preset distance threshold may be 10KM, and of course, the preset distance threshold may be set according to actual situations.

For example, the preset distance threshold may be a distance to which the remaining amount of the vehicle can travel and to which the temperature of the in-vehicle refrigerator can be maintained at the third target temperature at all times.

The third electric quantity required by the vehicle to travel from the first position to the third position can be calculated according to the first position of the vehicle and the third position of the candidate charging station, and the fourth electric quantity required by the vehicle-mounted refrigerator to maintain the temperature at the third target temperature when the vehicle travels from the first position to the third position can be calculated according to the total time required by the vehicle to travel from the first position to the third position and the unit power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator to maintain the third target temperature. Then, a target charging station is selected from the candidate charging stations according to the third power amount, the fourth power amount, and the remaining power amount.

For example, the target charging station may be a candidate charging station in which the sum of the third power amount and the fourth power amount is less than or equal to the remaining power amount.

Therefore, the target charging station is determined from at least one candidate charging station according to the first position of the vehicle, the residual electric quantity of the vehicle, the third target temperature and the third position of the candidate charging station, so that the temperature of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is ensured to be always maintained at the third target temperature under the condition that the vehicle can have enough electric quantity to travel to the target charging station, and the articles stored in the vehicle-mounted refrigerator are ensured not to be deteriorated.

In some possible embodiments, in a case where the remaining power of the vehicle is less than the second preset power, outputting a prompt option through a vehicle body of the vehicle, where the prompt option is used to prompt a user whether to control the on-vehicle refrigerator to enter the energy-saving operation mode, and performing the above steps 110 to 130 in response to determining to enter the energy-saving operation mode.

Here, when the remaining power of the vehicle is smaller than the second preset power, it indicates that the range of the vehicle is too low, and at this time, the power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator needs to be managed to ensure the range of the vehicle. The second preset power may be set according to actual situations, for example, the third preset power may be set to 30%.

The vehicle can output the prompt options through the vehicle machine or the mobile terminal, and when the user selects the option of entering the energy-saving operation mode, the steps 110 to 130 are executed to manage the energy consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator. When the user does not select the option of entering the energy saving operation mode, the above steps 110 to 130 may not be performed.

Therefore, through outputting the prompting options, the user can sense the endurance mileage of the vehicle and select whether to manage the energy consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator, so that the use experience of the user is greatly improved.
