Detailed Description

As described in the background art, the vehicle in the related art has a problem of complicated arrangement. The inventor researches and discovers that the problem is caused by the fact that the vehicle is provided with a plurality of controllers scattered at all positions of the vehicle, communication among the controllers is complex, a plurality of wire harnesses are needed to be connected among the controllers, the whole vehicle is complex to arrange, larger installation space is occupied, equipment weight and maintenance cost are high, and development and verification period is long. In addition, because of the increased number of parts, the operations related to the assembly and debugging of each controller are complex, and the system upgrade and maintenance needs to be performed on each controller separately, the corresponding failure occurrence rate becomes more frequent.

Aiming at the technical problems, the embodiment of the application provides the control device, which avoids that a plurality of related control components are scattered and arranged at all positions of a vehicle by integrating the plurality of control components, is beneficial to reducing wiring among the related control components and is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the whole vehicle space. Each control assembly may include at least one circuit board, and when integrating multiple control assemblies, multiple circuit boards with different control functions or regions may be secured within the same housing by fasteners such as screws. At each repair or update, the corresponding circuit board needs to be detached from the housing, and other circuit boards are likely to be touched during the detachment process, so that other circuit boards are damaged. In addition, the phenomenon of sliding wires needs to be carefully performed at any time when the fastener is adopted for fixation, so that the difficulty of disassembly is increased. In addition, when the circuit board is assembled with the housing, the through holes on the circuit board are required to correspond to the through holes on the housing, so that the assembly time is increased.

In view of this, in the control device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the control component may include a first control component and a second control component, where the first control component and the second control component may be mechanically and communicatively connected to each other through a first mating interface and a second mating interface of the second control component. In addition, the second control assembly can be assembled on the first control assembly along a preset path, so that the second matching interface and the first matching interface can be quickly positioned, assembly steps are reduced, and assembly efficiency is improved.

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments of the present application.

All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

The control device provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to vehicles and also can be applied to equipment with a plurality of control components, such as ships, airplanes and the like. The embodiment of the present application will be described by taking the control device applied to a vehicle as an example, but the present application is not limited thereto. In addition, for convenience of description, the direction indicated by the arrow X in the drawing is the left side of the control device, and vice versa; the direction indicated by the arrow Y is the front side of the control device, and vice versa; the direction indicated by the arrow Z is the upper side of the control device, and vice versa.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a control device according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the control apparatus may include a first control assembly 100 and a second control assembly 200. The first control assembly 100 may have a first mating interface 130 and the second control assembly 200 may have a second mating interface 230, the first mating interface 130 may be in contact mating with the second mating interface 230 to enable a mechanical connection as well as a communication connection between the first control assembly 100 and the second control assembly 200.

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the control device shown in fig. 1, and referring to fig. 2, specifically, the first control assembly 100 may include a first housing 110 and a first circuit board 120 disposed in the first housing 110, a plurality of electronic components 700 are fixed on the first circuit board 120, and at least one electronic component 700 may be electrically connected with the first mating interface 130. The second control assembly 200 may include a second housing 210 and a second circuit board 220 disposed in the second housing 210, where a plurality of electronic components 700 may be fixed on the second circuit board 220, and at least one electronic component 700 may be electrically connected with the second mating interface 230. After the first mating interface 130 is in contact with the second mating interface 230, at least one electronic component 700 on the first circuit board 120 may communicate with a corresponding electronic component 700 on the second circuit board 220.

In addition, in order to improve the strength of the mechanical connection between the first mating interface 130 and the second mating interface 230, the first mating interface 130 and the second mating interface 230 may be mated by plugging, magnetic attraction, or the like. Illustratively, when the first mating interface 130 mates with the second mating interface 230 in a plug-in manner, the first mating interface 130 may be embedded within the recess of the second mating interface 230, or the second mating interface 230 may be embedded within the recess of the first mating interface 130 as shown in fig. 2.

In addition, the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 may be disposed up and down as shown in fig. 1, or the first control unit 100 and the second control unit 200 may be disposed left and right or back and forth. Illustratively, while the first control assembly 100 may be located below the second control assembly 200, the first control assembly 100 may have a first mating interface 130 extending toward the upper side and the second control assembly 200 may have a second mating interface 230 extending toward the lower side. When the first control assembly 100 is disposed on the left and right sides or the front and rear sides of the second control assembly 200, the extending direction of the first mating interface 130 on the first control assembly 100 and the extending direction of the second mating interface 230 on the second control assembly 200 can be obtained by the above simple derivation, and will not be described herein.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first control modules 100 is not specifically limited, and may be configured according to the corresponding requirements. Additionally, a first control assembly 100 may be mated with a second control assembly 200 as shown in FIG. 1. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the first control assembly 100 may be further matched with two second control assemblies 200, and the two second control assemblies 200 may be disposed at intervals along a preset direction, such as an X direction, a Y direction, and the like. Illustratively, fig. 3 illustrates two control assemblies disposed at intervals along the X-direction. Of course, one first control assembly 100 may be further matched with three or more second control assemblies 200, and the plurality of second control assemblies 200 may be arranged at intervals along a predetermined direction, such as an X direction, a Y direction, and the like. In addition, each second control component 200 may implement different control functions, so as to improve the diversity and compatibility of the control device provided by the embodiment of the present application.

In addition, in order not to affect the coupling between the first control assembly 100 and each of the second control assemblies 200, the plurality of second control assemblies 200 may be disposed at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the first coupling interface 130 (or the extending direction of the second coupling interface 230, or the direction in which the first control assembly 100 is disposed opposite to the second control assembly 200).

With continued reference to fig. 1, in order to improve the assembly efficiency between the first control assembly 100 and the second control assembly 200, the first control assembly 100 may be formed with a predetermined path along which the second control assembly 200 may be assembled to the first control assembly 100. In addition, the second mating interface 230 may be in contact mating with the first mating interface 130 when the second control assembly 200 is assembled to the first control assembly 100.

The first control assembly may include a sliding rail 600, the sliding rail 600 may extend along the predetermined path direction, and the second control assembly 200 may slide along the sliding rail 600 as shown in fig. 1, so that the second control assembly 200 may be slidably assembled to the first control assembly 100. For example, the sliding rail 600 may be disposed along the opposite direction of the first control assembly 100 and the second control assembly 200 as shown in fig. 1. For example, in fig. 1, the second control assembly 200 and the first control assembly 100 may be disposed up and down, and the sliding rail 600 may be disposed along the Z direction. The second control assembly 200 may slide on the slide rail 600 during assembly, and the second control assembly 200 may cease to continue movement while the second mating interface 230 of the second control assembly 200 is in contact engagement with the first mating interface 130 of the first control assembly 100.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the control device shown in fig. 3 from another perspective. Fig. 5 is a schematic view of one of the second control assemblies 200 shown in fig. 3 assembled with a support. Referring to fig. 3-5, the first control assembly 100 may include a first housing 110, a first circuit board 120, and a bracket 140, the first circuit board 120 may be accommodated in the first housing 110, and a first mating interface 130 may be fixed at the first circuit board 120 and may extend toward a first end of the first housing 110 (i.e., an upper end of the first control assembly 100, an end indicated by an arrow Z).

In addition, to facilitate the mating of the first mating interface 130 with the second mating interface 230, the first mating interface 130 may be exposed at a surface of the first housing 110 facing the bracket 140 (i.e., the first mating interface 130 may be exposed at an upper surface of the first housing 110). Illustratively, the first end of the first housing 110 (i.e., the upper end of the first housing 110) may be provided as an opening as shown in fig. 5 to expose the first mating interface 130. The size of the opening may be larger than the size of the first circuit board 120 to facilitate removal of the first circuit board 120 from the first housing 110.

In addition, the sidewall of the first housing 110 may be provided with at least one other interface 112 as shown in fig. 3 and 4, and the first circuit board 120 located inside the first housing 110 may be connected with other electrical devices located outside the first housing 110 through the other interface 112. It should be noted that, the first housing 110 may be provided with a plurality of other interfaces 112, and when the number of other interfaces 112 required by the user is less than that of the other interfaces 112 on the first housing 110, the redundant other interfaces 112 may be covered by a shielding member such as an adhesive tape, so that multiple derivative product forms may be realized without changing the structure of the first housing 110, so as to be beneficial to realizing platform development.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, the bracket 140 may have an opposite hinge end 141 (i.e., a rear end of the bracket 140) and a free end 142 (i.e., a front end of the bracket 140), and the hinge end 141 of the bracket 140 may be hinged with the first end of the first housing 110 as shown in fig. 4.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the second control assembly 200 may be mounted to the bracket 140 and may rotate as the bracket 140 rotates. That is, the above-mentioned preset path may be formed by the rotating bracket 140. In other words, the second control assembly 200 may rotate along a predetermined path relative to the first housing 110, or the second control assembly 200 rotates along with the bracket, and the movement track of the second control assembly 200 relative to the first housing 110 is a circular arc.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, illustratively, the hinged end 141 of the bracket 140 is rotatable clockwise relative to the first housing 110 such that the free end 142 of the bracket 140 is disengaged from the first housing 110, thereby disengaging the second mating interface 230 of the second control assembly 200 from the first mating interface 130. The hinge end 141 of the bracket 140 may be rotated relative to the first housing 110 such that the free end 142 of the bracket 140 is proximate to the first housing 110 such that the second mating interface 230 of the second control assembly 200 may mate with the first mating interface 130 of the first control assembly 100. In addition, after the first mating interface 130 on the first control assembly 100 is in contact with the second mating interface 230 on the second control assembly 200, the bracket 140 may be blocked from further rotation.

Referring to fig. 5, in order to limit the rotation angle of the bracket 140 and to reduce the stress of the first mating interface 130, the first control assembly 100 may optionally include a first side (i.e., a rear side) and a second side (i.e., a front side) disposed opposite each other, the first side of the first control assembly 100 may be hinged with the hinge end 141 of the bracket 140, the second side of the first control assembly 100 may have a limiting plate 111, and the limiting plate 111 may be adapted to abut against the free end 142 of the bracket 140 and/or the second control assembly 200.

It should be noted that, the second control assembly 200 may include the second circuit board 220, and in order to protect the second circuit board 220, the second housing 210 may be wrapped on the outer side of the second circuit board 220, that is, the second circuit board 220 is accommodated in the second housing 210. The second housing 210 may be mounted on the bracket 140 and may rotate with the rotation of the bracket 140. When the second housing 210 rotates to the second mating interface 230 to mate with the first mating interface 130, the second housing 210 and the first housing 110 may be locked with the second locking portion 320 by the first locking portion 310 in order to enhance the mechanical connection between the second mating interface 230 and the first mating interface 130.

Specifically, the second control assembly 200 may include a second housing 210, and a second side of the second housing 210 (i.e., a front side of the second housing 210, a side indicated by an arrow Y) may be provided with a second locking portion 320. A second side of the first housing 110 (i.e., a front side of the first housing 110, a side indicated by an arrow Y) may be provided with a first locking portion 310, and the first locking portion 310 may be used to cooperate with the second locking portion 320 so as to lock the first housing 110 with the second housing 210.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the cooperation between the first locking portion 310 and the second locking portion 320 according to an embodiment of the present application. The left side of fig. 6 shows a state when the first locking portion 310 is disengaged from the second locking portion 320, and the right side of fig. 6 shows a state when the first locking portion 310 is engaged with the second locking portion 320. Referring to fig. 6, alternatively, the first locking part 310 may be fixed to the first housing 110, the second locking part 320 may be rotated with respect to the second housing 210, and the rotation axis of the second locking part 320 may be perpendicular to the rotation axis of the bracket 140. The second locking portion 320 may have a first locking position engaged with the first locking portion 310 and a second locking position disengaged from the first locking portion 310. The first housing 110 may be locked with the second housing 210 when the second locking portion 320 is in the first locking position. That is, when the second housing 210 has a tendency to move away from the first housing 110 while the second locking portion 320 is at the first locking position, the first locking portion 310 may abut against the second locking portion 320 to restrict the movement of the second housing 210 by restricting the movement of the second locking portion 320, thereby maintaining the second housing 210 and the first housing 110 in a locked state.

Alternatively, the first locking portion 310 may be a plate body fixed to the first housing 110, and the second locking portion 320 may be an L-shaped or U-shaped locking bar. The second locking part 320 may rotate with respect to the second housing 210 through the rotation shaft 330. In order to conceal the first locking portion 310 and the second locking portion 320, a second side of the second housing 210 may be provided with a locking hole 211 as shown in fig. 5, the rotation shaft 330 may be disposed through the locking hole 211 and extend into the second housing 210, and the second locking portion 320 may be accommodated in the second housing 210 and may be fixed with a side wall of the rotation shaft 330, so that the second locking portion 320 may rotate around an axis of the rotation shaft 330. The sidewall of the first housing 110 may be fixed with a first locking portion 310 extending toward the inside of the first housing 110. Since the first locking part 310 is located at one side of the second housing 210 (i.e., the lower side of the second housing 210), in order that the second locking part 320 may be engaged with the first locking part 310, one side of the second housing 210 may be provided with a through hole for the second locking part 320 to move.

In fig. 6, the first locking portion 310 and the second locking portion 320 are designed so that the first locking portion 310 is fixed to the first housing 110 and the second locking portion 320 is locked to rotate with respect to the second housing 210, however, the first housing 110 and the second housing 210 may be locked when the first locking portion 310 rotates with respect to the first housing 110 and the second locking portion 320 is fixed to the second housing 210. Fig. 6 is merely an example, and the structures of the first locking portion 310 and the second locking portion 320 are not particularly limited.

In addition, in addition to enhancing the mechanical connection between the second mating interface 230 and the first mating interface 130 by the first locking portion 310 and the second locking portion 320 mentioned above, an elastic restoring member such as a torsion spring may be provided on the bracket 140 to maintain the bracket 140 in the state shown in fig. 3 and 4.

It should be noted that, in order to enable the second control assembly 200 to rotate along with the rotation of the bracket 140, the bracket 140 may have a mounting groove, and the second control assembly 200 may be embedded in the mounting groove. Referring to fig. 5, alternatively, the free end 142 of the bracket 140 may have an opening, and the second control assembly 200 may be disposed through the opening of the free end 142 of the bracket 140 and may be slidably disposed on the bracket 140. Illustratively, the bracket 140 may include a left side wall 144, a right side wall 145, and a rear side wall 146 secured between the left and right side walls 144, 145. The rear sidewall 146 of the bracket 140 may be hinged with the upper end of the first housing 110, the left sidewall 144 of the bracket 140 may be fixed with a sliding bar 1441 extending toward the right side, and the right sidewall 145 of the bracket 140 may be fixed with a sliding bar 1441 extending toward the left side. The second housing 210 may be provided with a chute 212 on each of the left and right sides. The sliding bars 1441 may be engaged with the corresponding sliding grooves 212 such that the second housing 210 may slide on the bracket 140 along the extending direction of the left side wall 144 (or the right side wall 145) of the bracket 140.

Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the connection of the second housing 210 of the second control assembly 200 shown in fig. 5 with the rear sidewall 146 of the stand. Referring to fig. 5 and 7, in order to allow the second control assembly 200 to remain stationary with respect to the bracket 140 during rotation with the bracket 140, the hinge end 141 of the bracket 140 (i.e., the rear sidewall 146 of the bracket 140) may optionally be provided with a first positioning portion, and the first side of the second control assembly 200 (i.e., the rear side of the second housing 210) may have a second positioning portion that is in male-female engagement with the first positioning portion. Illustratively, in fig. 7, the rear sidewall 146 of the bracket 140 may be provided with a first positioning slot 411, and a second positioning block 421 may be fixed at a rear end of the second housing 210, and the second positioning block 421 may be embedded in the first positioning slot 411. Of course, the rear sidewall 146 of the bracket 140 may have a convex structure, and the rear end of the second housing 210 may have a concave structure. Fig. 7 is merely illustrative and not limiting.

In addition, when the second positioning portion is the second positioning block 421, the second positioning block 421 may be provided with a second other interface, and the second positioning block 421 may penetrate the rear sidewall 146 of the bracket 140, so that the second other interface may be exposed on the outer side of the bracket 140, so that the second other interface may be matched with the interface of the other electrical device.

In addition, in order to facilitate the user to know the installation direction of the second control assembly 200 more clearly to avoid user errors, the bracket 140 may optionally include a top wall 143 fixed between the left and right side walls 144 and 145, the top wall 143 of the bracket 140 may have a first limiting groove 412, and the top wall 143 of the second housing 210 may be provided with a second limiting groove 422 cooperating with the first limiting groove 412. Wherein the first limiting groove 412 may have an opening toward the free end 142 of the bracket 140 (i.e., the front end of the bracket 140), and the second limiting groove 422 may have an opening toward the hinge end of the bracket 140 (i.e., the rear end of the bracket 140).

During assembly, a user can intuitively observe that only the bottom of the second limiting groove 422 is abutted against the bottom of the first limiting groove 412, so that the second control assembly 200 and the bracket 140 can be assembled. In this way, the user can conveniently and quickly determine the installation direction of the second control assembly 200. The second control assembly 200 is installed in the following direction: one end of the second control assembly 200 having the second limiting groove 422 faces toward one end of the bracket 140 having the first limiting groove 412.

The groove bottom of the first limiting groove 412 may have a folded line shape as shown in fig. 5, and of course, the groove bottom of the first limiting groove 412 may have a curved shape or the like, which can be matched with the groove bottom of the second limiting groove 422 in a concave-convex manner.

It should be noted that, when the second control assembly 200 is plural (two or more) as shown in fig. 3-5, the first control assembly 100 may include plural brackets 140, and each bracket 140 may have a specific identifier. The specific identifier may be a shape, size, alphanumeric label, etc. of the bracket 140. Each of the second control assemblies 200 may be assembled to a corresponding one of the brackets 140 according to a specific identification.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the groove bottom of the first limiting groove 412 of the bracket 140 located at the left side may have a polygonal line shape, and the left end of the first limiting groove 412 located at the left side is lower than the right end thereof; the bottom of the first limiting groove 412 of the bracket 140 on the right side may also be shaped like a fold line, and the left end of the first limiting groove 412 on the right side may be higher than the right end thereof; thus, the first limiting groove 412 on the left side is significantly different from the first limiting groove 412 on the right side. The second limiting groove 422, which cooperates with the two first limiting grooves 412, is also significantly different. In this way, the second control assembly 200 is inserted into the corresponding bracket 140 to prevent misplacement. In addition, for aesthetic purposes, the first limiting groove 412 located at the left side may be symmetrically disposed with the first limiting groove 412 located at the right side as shown in fig. 5.

Another exemplary, one of the second control assemblies 200 is rectangular, and then the rectangular second control assembly 200 may be inserted into a bracket 140 shaped as a rectangle; the other second control member 200 is square, and the square second control member 200 may be inserted into the holder 140 having a shape such as a square.

Still another example, where one of the second control assemblies 200 is larger in area, the larger area second control assembly 200 may be inserted into the larger area bracket 140; the other second control assembly 200 has a smaller area, and the second control assembly 200 having a smaller area may be inserted into the holder 140 having a smaller area.

Still another exemplary, wherein a surface of one of the second control assemblies 200 is numbered 1, the numbered 1 second control assembly 200 may be inserted into the numbered 1 bracket 140; the surface of the other second control assembly 200 is numbered 2, and the second control assembly 200 numbered 2 may be inserted into the bracket 140 numbered 2.

It should be noted that, the above is exemplified by the two second control assemblies 200 respectively corresponding to the two brackets 140, and the case when the number of the second controllers 200 exceeds two and the number of the brackets 140 exceeds two can be simply deduced by referring to the above, and will not be repeated herein.

In order to achieve cooling of the electronic component 700 on the first circuit board 120 and cooling of the electronic component 700 on the second circuit board 220, referring to fig. 2 and 5, optionally, a heat dissipation component 150 may be disposed between the second control assembly 200 and the first circuit board 120, and the heat dissipation component 150 may include a box body into which cooling liquid may be introduced.

For example, the first end of the first housing 110 may be an open end, the second control assembly 200 may be assembled to the bracket 140 and may be used to cover the open end of the first housing 110, and the heat dissipation component 150 may be accommodated in an accommodating space surrounded by the first housing 110, the second control assembly 200 and the bracket 140. The heat radiating member 150 may have a water inlet pipe 153 and a water outlet pipe 154 as shown in fig. 8, and the sidewall of the first housing 110 may have a water inlet 113 communicating with the water inlet pipe 153 and a water outlet 114 communicating with the water outlet pipe 154.

The electronic component 700 on the first circuit board 120 may extend toward the first end of the first housing 110, and the heat dissipation component 150 may conduct heat between the surface of the first circuit board 120 facing the first end and the electronic component 700 on the first circuit board 120 through the first heat conduction pad 510. That is, the surface of the heat dissipation member 150 facing the first circuit board 120 may have a concave-convex structure adapted to the height of the electronic component 700 on the first circuit board 120. In order to improve the heat transfer effect, a second heat conductive pad 520 may be fixed between the heat sink 150 and the second control assembly 200, and heat transfer between the heat sink 150 and the second control assembly 200 may be achieved through the second heat conductive pad 520.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a heat dissipation component 150 according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 8, the heat sink 150 may have a baffle 152 therein, and the baffle 152 may partition an inner space of the heat sink 150 into a flow path for guiding a flow of the cooling liquid. The shape of the flow channel may be U-shaped as shown in FIG. 8, or the shape of the flow channel may be a pattern formed by sections of U-shapes joined end to end.

It should be noted that, the front projection of the first mating interface 130 disposed on the first circuit board 120 on the heat dissipation member 150 may be located outside the heat dissipation member 150 or may be located inside the heat dissipation member 150 as shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 2, when the front projection of the first mating interface 130 on the heat sink 150 is located within the heat sink 150, the heat sink 150 may be provided with a guide post 151 disposed therethrough, and the guide post 151 may have a central hole 1511 for the first mating interface 130 and/or the second mating interface 230 to pass through. That is, the guide posts 151 may isolate the first mating interface 130 (and/or the second mating interface 230) from the cooling fluid within the heat sink 150.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, alternatively, the sidewall of the first housing 110 may be provided with a mounting bracket 160, and the first housing 110 may be mounted at a user preset position by means of a fastener and the mounting bracket 160. In addition, the side wall of the first housing 110 may further be provided with at least one mounting hole 161, so that a user can also use the mounting hole 161 to be compatible with different mounting frames 160, and can replace different mounting frames 160 to adapt to different vehicle types and configurations without changing the structure of the first housing 110, thereby effectively shortening the development period and reducing the production cost, greatly improving the production efficiency and the product quality, and being beneficial to realizing the platform development.
