As shown in fig. 1 to 5, a computing system 100 for an autopilot device according to an embodiment of the present application includes a housing 110, an electromagnetic shielding barrier 130, a plurality of power supply processing units, a plurality of computing units, and a heat dissipation mechanism. Wherein the housing 110 has an interior cavity 111. The electromagnetic shielding barrier 130 is provided in the inner cavity 111, and divides the inner cavity 111 into a power supply area 111a and a calculation unit area 111b. The power supply processing units are disposed in the power supply area 111a of the inner cavity 111. The plurality of computing units are disposed in the computing unit area 111b of the inner cavity 111. The heat dissipation structure is used for conveying external air flow to the power supply area 111a and the computing unit area 111b and discharging the air flow in the power supply area 111a and the computing unit area 111b.

It will be appreciated that the temperature of the external air flow is relatively low, and the heat dissipation structure transmits the external air flow to the power supply area 111a and the computing unit area 111b, and flows out from the power supply area 111a and the computing unit area 111b, so as to take away at least part of heat generated by the operation of the power supply processing unit and the computing unit, thereby avoiding the situation that the temperature of the power supply processing unit and the computing unit is high. In other words, the air flows flowing into the power supply region 111a and the calculation unit region 111b are raised in temperature by heat generated by the power supply processing unit and the calculation unit, respectively. The heat dissipation structure may also exhaust the air flow in the power supply region 111a and the calculation unit region 111b, so that the air flow having an increased temperature may be exhausted, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation.

In the above-mentioned computing system 100 for an autopilot device, the power supply processing units and the computing units are disposed in the cavity 111 of the same housing 110, and the heat dissipation treatment is uniformly performed on the plurality of power supply processing units and the computing units, so that the overall volume occupied by the computing system 100 is reduced.

The operation voltage of the power supply processing unit is higher than the operation voltage of the computing unit. In other words, the power supply processing unit is a strong current with respect to the computing unit. The electromagnetic field generated by the power supply processing unit easily interferes with the operation of the computing unit, i.e. makes the computing unit susceptible to electromagnetic interference. In this embodiment, the electromagnetic shielding member 130 divides the inner cavity 111 into a power supply area 111a and a computing unit area 111b, so as to shield the electromagnetic interference of the power supply processing unit on the computing unit. Even if the power processing unit and the computing unit are integrated into the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110 at the same time, normal operation of the computing unit is not affected by electromagnetic interference.

In addition, conventionally, the power supply processing unit and the computing unit are respectively disposed at different positions of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and in order to dissipate heat, a heat dissipation structure is required to be disposed at each position of the power supply processing unit and the computing unit. For some power processing units and computing units, the space around the power processing units and computing units is limited and irregular, so that the design of the corresponding heat dissipation structure is complex, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure is poor. And the design of the heat dissipation structure is complex, so that the design, manufacturing and maintenance costs of the heat dissipation structure are high.

In the present embodiment, the heat dissipation structure is used to reduce the heat in the power region 111a and the computing unit region 111b, so the heat dissipation structure is necessarily disposed on the housing 110. And may be provided at a suitable location of the autopilot device depending on the configuration of the computing system 100. The heat dissipation structure is not complicated due to limited space. In addition, in the embodiment, the structure of the heat dissipation structure is also simpler, so that the situation that the heat dissipation effect is poor due to the complex structure does not occur. In addition, the heat dissipation structure is simple in structure, and the design, manufacturing and maintenance costs are correspondingly low.

In addition, compared with the traditional case that each power supply processing unit and each computing unit are respectively provided with a heat dissipation structure, if the heat dissipation structure is additionally provided with a fan and the like to strengthen the heat dissipation effect, each power supply processing unit and each computing unit are respectively provided, and the power supply processing unit and the computing unit are required to be installed for multiple times during assembly. In the embodiment, the plurality of power supply processing units and the plurality of computing units share the heat dissipation mechanism, so that the structure such as the fan for enhancing the heat dissipation effect is formed, the number of the structures such as the fan for enhancing the heat dissipation effect is reduced, and the installation efficiency is improved.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the power supply processing unit and the computing unit are integrated in the inner cavity 111 of the housing 110, so that the integrated computing system 100 can be installed on the autopilot device at one time, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the computing system 100 in the autopilot device.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the heat dissipation structure includes a first air inlet 151, a second air inlet 153, a first air outlet 155, and a second air outlet 157 disposed on the housing 110. The first air inlet 151 and the first air outlet 155 are both communicated with the power supply area 111a and the outside, so that air flow between the power supply area 111a and the outside is realized. The second air inlet 153 and the second air outlet 157 are both communicated with the computing unit area 111b and the outside, thereby realizing the airflow circulation between the computing unit area 111b and the outside.

In this embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a first air inlet 151, a first air outlet 155, and a first air exhaust assembly 154. The first exhaust assembly 154 is used for driving the air flow in the power region 111a to flow out from the first air outlet 155, thereby reducing the air pressure in the power region 111a, and driving the external air flow to flow into the power region 111a through the first air inlet 151.

It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the number of the first air inlet, the first air outlet and the first air exhaust assembly is not limited to one, but may be two or more. Each first exhaust assembly may be disposed corresponding to one or at least two first air outlets, and one first air outlet may also correspond to one or at least two first exhaust assemblies. Therefore, the airflow between the power supply area and the outside can be better increased. Of course, part of the air outlets are not provided with the first air exhaust assembly. When the air pressure in the power supply area is large, the air flow in the power supply area can flow out from the first air outlet under the action of the pressure difference.

Similarly, in another possible embodiment, the heat dissipation structure further includes at least one first air suction component, where the first air suction component is configured to suck the external air flow into the power supply area through at least one first air inlet, and the air pressure in the power supply area is increased, so that the air flow in the power supply area can also flow out through the first air outlet. It is understood that only the first air suction assembly or the first air exhaust assembly may be provided according to the structural design of the housing of the computing system and the heat dissipation requirement.

Further, in the present embodiment, the heat dissipation structure further includes a first exhaust duct 158 communicating with the first air outlet 155. The air flow having a relatively high temperature in the power supply region 111a can be guided to a proper position to be discharged through the first exhaust duct 158. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, if at least two first air outlets are provided on the housing, the first air exhaust duct may also be in communication with two or more first air outlets, so as to exhaust the air flow having a higher temperature and exhausted from at least two air outlets through one first air exhaust duct.

In this embodiment, the heat dissipation structure includes a first exhaust duct 158. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the heat dissipating structure may also comprise two or more first exhaust channels. Each first exhaust channel corresponds to a different first air outlet.

In this embodiment, the first exhaust duct 158 has only one outlet. It will be appreciated that in other possible implementations, the first exhaust passage may also have two or more outlets to exhaust the air flow in the power supply region from different locations, avoiding higher temperatures at the location of the outlet of the first exhaust passage due to the higher exhaust temperature of the air flow at the location due to the one outlet, resulting in higher temperatures of components located near the outlet of the first exhaust passage.

In this embodiment, the first exhaust duct 158 is also in communication with a second air outlet 157. I.e. the power supply area 111a and the air flow from the computing unit can be exhausted through the first exhaust duct 158. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first exhaust duct is not limited to communication with one second air outlet, but may also be in communication with two or more second air outlets.

In this embodiment, the first air outlet 155 and the second air outlet 157 which are in communication with the first air exhaust duct 158 are located on the same side of the housing 110, so that the structure of the first air exhaust duct 158 can be simplified. Of course, it will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first air outlet and the second air outlet in communication with the first air exhaust duct may also be located on different sides of the housing, as long as communication therewith is achieved by altering the configuration of the first air exhaust duct.

In this embodiment, the first exhaust assembly 154 is located at the outlet of the first exhaust duct 158. In one aspect, the first exhaust assembly 154 is positioned within the first exhaust duct 158 and operates without affecting other structures of the autopilot equipment positioned about the first exhaust duct 158; on the other hand, the first exhaust assembly 154 is positioned at the outlet of the first exhaust duct 158 for easy access and maintenance. Further, optionally, the first exhaust assembly 154 is detachably disposed at the outlet of the first exhaust duct 158, so that the first exhaust duct 158 can be detached for maintenance and repair, which is more convenient for the operation of the operator, and is convenient for replacing other first exhaust assemblies 154 when the first exhaust assembly 154 is damaged.

In this embodiment, the first exhaust component 154 is an exhaust fan. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first exhaust assembly is not limited to an exhaust fan, and can drive the air flow in the power supply area to flow out from the first air outlet.

It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first exhaust assembly is not limited to being located in the first exhaust duct, but may be located in a power supply region of the inner cavity, etc., so as to be capable of driving the airflow in the power supply region to be exhausted from the corresponding first air outlet.

Alternatively, in another possible embodiment, if the heat dissipation structure includes a first air suction component, the first air suction component is a suction fan. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first air suction assembly is not limited to a suction fan, and can drive the external air flow from the first air inlet into the power supply area.

In this embodiment, the heat dissipation structure includes three second air inlets 153, one second air suction assembly 152, two second air outlets 157 and one second air exhaust assembly 156. The second air suction unit 152 is configured to drive the external air flow to be sucked into the computing unit area 111b through a second air inlet 153. The second exhaust assembly 156 is used for driving the airflow in the computing unit area 111b to be exhausted from a second air outlet 157. At the same time, the first air exhaust assembly 154 can also drive the air flow in the computing unit area 111b to be exhausted from the other second air outlet 157. The first air exhaust assembly 154 and the second air exhaust assembly 156 cooperate to reduce the air pressure within the computing unit, thereby driving the external air flow into the computing unit area 111b from the other two second air inlets 153 that do not correspond to the second air intake assembly 152.

It is to be understood that in other possible embodiments, the heat dissipation structure is not limited to include three second air inlets, one second air suction assembly, two second air outlets and one second air exhaust assembly, and the number of the second air inlets, the second air suction assemblies, the second air outlets and the second air exhaust assemblies may be further set as required.

In addition, it will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the second air suction assembly may also be configured to draw ambient air into the computing unit area through two or more second air inlets by providing different relative positions of the second air inlets. Likewise, in other possible embodiments, the second exhaust assembly may also exhaust the air flow within the computing unit area through two or more second air outlets.

In this embodiment, the heat dissipation structure further includes a second exhaust duct 159 communicating with a second air outlet 157. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the heat dissipating structure may also comprise two or more second exhaust channels. Each second exhaust passage corresponds to a different second air outlet 157.

In this embodiment, the second exhaust duct 159 has only one outlet. It will be appreciated that in other possible implementations, the second exhaust channel may also have two or more outlets to exhaust the air flow in the calculation unit area from different locations, avoiding that the temperature at the outlet of the second exhaust channel is higher at that location due to the higher exhaust temperature air flow at one outlet, resulting in a higher temperature of the components located near the outlet of the second exhaust channel.

In another possible embodiment, when there are at least two second air outlets communicating with the second air exhaust duct, the two second air outlets may be located on the same side of the housing, so that the structure of the first air exhaust duct may be simpler. It will be appreciated, of course, that in other possible embodiments, the second outlets communicating with the same second exhaust duct may also be located on different sides of the housing, respectively, with which communication may be achieved by altering the configuration of the first exhaust duct.

In this embodiment, the second exhaust assembly 156 is located at the outlet of the second exhaust duct 159. In one aspect, the second exhaust assembly 156 is positioned within the second exhaust duct 159 and operates without affecting other structures of the autopilot equipment positioned about the second exhaust duct 159; on the other hand, the second exhaust assembly 156 is located at the outlet of the second exhaust duct 159, thereby facilitating repair and maintenance. Further, optionally, the second exhaust assembly 156 is detachably disposed at the outlet of the second exhaust duct 159, so that the second exhaust duct 159 can be detached for maintenance and repair, thereby facilitating the operation of an operator and facilitating replacement when the second exhaust assembly 156 is damaged.

In this embodiment, the second exhaust assembly 156 is an exhaust fan. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first exhaust assembly is not limited to an exhaust fan, and can be configured to drive the airflow in the computing unit area out of the first air outlet.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the plurality of computing units includes a graphics processing unit 10, and a second air inlet 153a is disposed at a position of the housing 110 close to the graphics processing unit 10. The second air suction component 152 can blow the air flow entering from the second air inlet 153 to the graphic processing unit 10. In general, the heat generated by the operation of the gpu 10 is relatively large, and the air flow from the outside through the corresponding second air inlet 153a can be quickly blown to the gpu 10 by the arrangement of the second air suction assembly 152, so that the heat generated by the operation of the gpu 10 is further taken away.

More specifically, in the present embodiment, the second suction assembly 152 is located in the calculation unit area 111b. And is disposed inside the second air inlet 153a, so that the external air flow can be driven to flow into the computing unit area 111b through the second air inlet 153 a.

In this embodiment, the second air suction component 152 is a suction fan. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the second suction assembly 152 is not limited to a suction fan, and can draw ambient air into the computing unit and direct the air directly to the graphics processing unit 10.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the second air suction assembly 152 is disposed near the electromagnetic shielding baffle 130, and the graphics processing unit 10 is located on a side of the second air suction assembly 152 away from the electromagnetic shielding baffle 130. In this embodiment, the electromagnetic shielding member 130 has a plate shape, and the second air inlet 153a is located on a surface perpendicular to the electromagnetic shielding member 130. Further, a baffle 112 is disposed between the second air suction assembly 152 and the gpu 10, and a via 1121 opposite to the gpu 10 is disposed on the baffle 112, so that the air flow flowing into the computing unit area 111b from the second air inlet 153a can only flow to the gpu 10 through the via 1121, and the air flow flowing to the gpu 10 is increased, which is more beneficial to the heat dissipation effect of the gpu 10.

In this embodiment, the plurality of computing units include the voltage stabilizing module 20, and the position of the housing 110 close to the voltage stabilizing module 20 is provided with the second air inlet 153b, and the air flow entering from the second air inlet 153b directly flows to the voltage stabilizing module 20, so that heat dissipation of the voltage stabilizing module 20 can be better realized. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the voltage stabilizing module 20 is located on a side of the graphics processing unit 10 away from the electromagnetic shielding barrier 130, and a second air outlet 157 is located on a side of the voltage stabilizing module 20 away from the graphics processing unit 10. The air flowing into the computing unit area 111b from the second air inlet 153b and flowing through the graphic processing unit 10 at least partially flows through the voltage stabilizing module 20, so that part of the heat generated by the voltage stabilizing module 20 can be taken away.

In this embodiment, the plurality of computing units include the central processing unit 30, the position of the housing 110 close to the central processing unit 30 is provided with the second air inlet 153c, and the air flow entering from the second air inlet 153c directly flows to the central processing unit 30, so that the heat dissipation of the voltage stabilizing module 20 can be better realized.

Similarly, in the present embodiment, the cpu 30 is located on the side of the gpu 10 away from the electromagnetic shielding member 130, and a second air outlet 157 is located on the side of the cpu 30 away from the gpu 10. The air flowing into the computing unit area 111b from the second air inlet 153c and flowing through the graphic processing unit 10 at least partially flows through the cpu 30, so that part of the heat generated by the cpu 30 can be removed.

Further, the central processing unit 30 is located at a side of the voltage stabilizing module 20 away from the second air inlet 153b, so that the second air inlet 153c corresponding to the central processing unit 30 and the second air inlet 153b are located on different surfaces of the housing 110111, so that the air flow entering the computing unit area 111b from the second air inlet 153c can directly flow to the central processing unit 30.

Of course, the plurality of calculation units are not limited to the graphic processing unit 10, the voltage stabilizing module 20, and the central processing unit 30, and other calculation units may be set as needed. If the other computing units generate more heat during operation, the heat dissipation effect can be improved by additionally arranging the second air inlet 153 and the like.
