METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE OF ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17872840 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING AIR CONDITIONING DEVICE OF ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for controlling the air conditioning device of an electrified vehicle. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves determining whether an active air flap is closed in response to an operation signal of the electrified vehicle's active air flap.
  • When the electric compressor of the air conditioner is operated and the active air flap is closed, the method involves controlling the opening of an intake door in the air conditioning device.
  • The opening of the intake door increases the amount of internal circulating air in the air conditioner.
  • As the amount of internal circulating air increases, the method involves decreasing the speed of the electric compressor.

Potential Applications:

  • This method can be applied in electrified vehicles with air conditioning systems.
  • It can be used to optimize the performance and efficiency of the air conditioning device in electrified vehicles.

Problems Solved:

  • The method addresses the challenge of efficiently controlling the air conditioning device in electrified vehicles.
  • It ensures that the air conditioning system operates effectively while minimizing energy consumption.

Benefits:

  • By controlling the opening of the intake door and adjusting the speed of the electric compressor, the method optimizes the internal air circulation in the air conditioning device.
  • This leads to improved energy efficiency and performance of the air conditioning system in electrified vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for controlling an air conditioning device of an electrified vehicle includes determining, by a controller, whether an active air flap is closed in response to an operation signal of the active air flap of the electrified vehicle, when an electric compressor provided in an air conditioner of the air conditioning device of the electrified vehicle is operated, when the active air flap is closed, controlling, by the controller, opening of an intake door provided in the air conditioning device to increase an amount of internal circulating air of the air conditioner, and when the amount of the internal circulating air of the air conditioner is increased, decreasing, by the controller, a speed of the electric compressor.
