概述
鉴于上述问题,提出了本公开实施例以便于提供一种克服上述问题或者至少部分地解决上述问题的一种控制器及可移动平台。

详细描述
为使本公开的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开作进一步详细的说明。显然,所描述的实施例是本公开一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本公开保护的范围。
随着科学技术的发展,自动驾驶技术的应用越来越广泛。例如,在车辆上,通过车载控制器分别连接各种传感器(例如,视觉传感器模块、超声波雷达模块等),从而实现自动勘测路障、规划行车路线等功能。车载控制器与上述传感器之间传输的信号一般是数字信号或模拟信号通信,因此,车载控制器与各种传感器之间通常采用连接器连接,例如fakra连接器。现有的连接器防护性能不好,并且只能满足车载控制器对外接线的纵向插拔需求,无法满足对外接线的横向插拔需求。
在实际应用中,例如,在车载控制器与各种传感器之间设置fakra连接器。通常将连接器直接焊接在所述车载控制器的电路板上。通过在电路板上焊接不同的fakra连接器(立式fakra连接器或卧式fakra连接器),以满足不同的车载控制器对外接线方向的变化需求。然而,上述fakra连接器,一方面无法满足车载控制器IP6K7的防护需求,另一方面,由于fakra连接器直接焊接在电路板上导致车载控制器内电路板的布局受限,灵活性较低。
为了满足车载控制器IP6K7的防护等级,相关技术中还提供了一种 fakra法兰与SMB端头的一体化结构,fakra法兰与SMB端头电连接,SMB端头与车载控制器内的电路板焊接连接,通过在fakra法兰与壳体之间设置密封圈从而提升车载控制器的防护等级。然而,由于上述由fakra法兰与SMB端头的一体化结构只能在电路板上立式焊接,导致只能满足车载控制器对外接线的纵向插拔需求,无法满足对外接线的横向插拔需求。而且,由于SMB端头与车载控制器内的电路板焊接连接,也会导致车载控制器内的电路板布局受限,车载控制器的布局灵活性降低。
本公开提供了一种控制器,包括但不限于车载控制器、车载视觉传感控制器、车载射频天线控制器等。本申请实施例仅以车载控制器为例进行解释说明,其他参照执行即可。
实施例一
参照图1,示出了本公开实施例的一种控制器的示意图。参照图2,示出了图1所示控制器的爆炸图。如图1和图2所示,所述控制器具体可以包括:壳体10、密封件20、第一电路板30和转接件40;壳体10形成容纳腔101,且壳体10上设有与容纳腔101相连的开口102;第一电路板30设置于容纳腔101内;转接件40至少部分设于容纳腔101,转接件40包括柔性主体401,以及设置于柔性主体401一端的第一接口402,第一接口402通过开口102露于壳体10外。第一接口402用于与控制器的外部装置的电连接器插接。柔性主体401的另一端用于与第一电路板30电连接;密封件20设置于第一接口402、壳体10之间。密封件20设置于所述第一接口402与壳体10的开口102的周缘之间,以密封第一接口402与开口102的周缘之间的间隙。本申请实施例中,通过柔性主体401的弯折,可以根据实际需求调整第一接口402在壳体10上的位置以及对外接线的插拔方向,因此,本申请实施例的控制器的布局难度可以有效降低,控制器内电子器件的布局灵活性更高。
在实际应用中,随着电子设备智能化的发展,汽车、无人机等可移动平台的自动驾驶技术也越来越成熟。例如,在车载自动驾驶产品中,车载控制器需要连接多种类传感器模块进行通信,其中包括但不限于视觉传感器模块、车载射频天线模块、毫米波雷达模块、超声波雷达模块等。车载 控制器与上述这些传感器模块之间传输的信号一般是数字信号或者模拟信号,这就需要用到同轴线进行传递。在实际应用中,连接同轴线的接口一般称为同轴线接口,例如,在汽车领域普遍应用的fakra接口。随着汽车智能化的发展,fakra接口的安装应用环境也变得越来越严苛,部分应用场景下,例如,需要短时间涉水的情况下,就需要车载控制器具有IP6K7的防护等级。
本申请实施例中,第一接口402可以为连接同轴线的接口,包括但不限于fakra接口,本申请实施例仅以fakra接口为例进行解释说明,其他参照执行即可。
在实际应用中,第一电路板30用于对转接件40传输的外接传感模块的数据进行判断和处理,具体的,第一电路板30上还可以设置与其功能相匹配的各种接口电路以及电子器件,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,通过在第一接口402和控制器的壳体10之间设置密封件20,从而可以避免水、尘等从开口102进入容纳腔101内,有效提升第一接口402与壳体10之间的防水防尘等级。
在实际应用中,密封件20沿开口102的周向延伸成环形,密封件20的材质可以为分为丁氰橡胶、三元乙丙橡胶、氟橡胶、硅胶、氟硅橡胶、尼龙、聚氨酯、工程塑料等。本领域技术人员可以根据实际需求选择密封件20的材质,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
如图2所示,壳体10可以包括:盖板11以及与盖板11相匹配的底座12,盖板11与底座12相连形成密封的容纳腔101。为了提升密封腔的防水防尘等级(例如,IP6K7的等级),盖板11与底座12之间还可以设置密封条。可以理解的是,壳体10上还可以设有其他对外接线接口(例如,电源接口等),本申请实施例仅以第一接口402为例进行举例说明,其他参照执行即可。
本申请实施例中,壳体10上还设有透气口,透气口上设有防水透气阀,从而使容纳腔101内气体实现流通,避免由于容纳腔101内过热气体膨胀造成壳体受力变形等情况。
在实际应用中,为了提升壳体10的散热能力,还可以在壳体10上设置 散热片111,以增加壳体10的散热面积。具体的,散热片111的数量以及排布可以根据实际散热需求设置,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
可选的,柔性主体401为同轴线或柔性电路板(排线)。
本申请实施例中,第一接口402用于与传感器模块(例如车载射频天线模块)对接,通过同轴线或柔性电路板与第一电路板30电连接,从而将传感器模块接收的信号通过同轴线或柔性电路板传递至第一电路板30上的处理器,处理器再根据上述信号做出判断和处理。
在实际应用中,由于同轴线通常为圆柱形截面的连接线,柔性电路板通常为扁平状连接线,因此,可以根据容纳腔101内的空间,选择柔性主体401为同轴线或柔性电路板,以匹配不同的控制器内部布局需求。本领域技术人员可以根据实际需求选择柔性主体401,本申请实施例在此不作限定。
本申请实施例中,柔性主体401为柔性电路板的情况下,柔性电路板与第一电路板30之间的连接可以通过板到板连接器进行连接,进而使得柔性电路板与第一电路板30之间的可拆卸性更好,且成本更低。
可选的,柔性主体401可弯折,柔性主体401的弯折方向与壳体10的形状相匹配。
参照图3,示出了本公开实施例中转接件40的示意图之一。参照图4,示出了图3所示转接件在壳体的安装示意图。参照图5,示出了图4中A位置的放大示意图。参照图6,示出了图1所示控制器的截面示意图。参照图7,示出了图6中B位置的放大示意图。如图3至图7,示出了柔性主体401为同轴线的情况下,转接件40通过柔性主体401可弯折设置于容纳腔101内的示意图。本申请实施例中,由于柔性主体401可弯折,这样不但可以使第一接口402在壳体10上的设置位置更加灵活,还可以通过柔性主体401的弯折方向与壳体10的形状相匹配,因此,壳体10的形状可以为异形结构,以便于充分利用容纳腔101内的空间体积,以及降低控制器的布局难度。
可选的,柔性主体401贴近壳体10设置。
在实际应用中,为了提升控制器内线路规范性,还可以设置柔性主体401贴近壳体10设置,并且使柔性主体401根据壳体10的形状进行弯折, 避免柔性主体401在容纳腔101内与其他器件产生干涉等情况,进一步降低控制器内部的布局难度。
可选的,第一接口402包括端子接头41以及外壳42;端子接头41的一端通过开口102外露,另一端与柔性主体401电连接;外壳42包覆于端子接头41外。
本申请实施例中,端子接头41通常为对外接线或对插的导电金属,外壳42可以为塑胶等绝缘外壳42,通过外壳42包覆于端子接头41外,从而起到对端子接头41的保护以及提升安全性能。
在实际应用中,为了便于第一接口402对外接线更为便利快捷,还可以在外壳42上设置卡钩422,以便于与外部传感器模块的接头进行卡接。
本申请实施例中,第一接口402为fakra接口的情况下,端子接头41的一端为fakra接头通过开口102外露,端子接头41的另一端与柔性主体401电连接。
可选的,外壳42上设有法兰421,密封件20设置于法兰421与壳体10之间。
如图6或图7所示,通过在外壳42上设置法兰421,从而将密封件20夹设于法兰421与壳体10之间,这样可以有效提升密封件20的密封效果,在实际应用中,可以达到IP6K7的防水等级。
可选的,法兰421上靠近壳体10的侧面上设有凹槽4211,或,壳体10上靠近法兰421的侧面上设有凹槽4211;密封件20至少部分嵌设于凹槽4211内。
在实际应用中,为了便于密封件20的安装以及避免在安装过程中密封件20发生偏移导致密封失效的问题,还可以在法兰421上靠近壳体10的侧面上设置凹槽4211(如图6或图7),通过将密封件20至少部分嵌设于凹槽4211内,从而提升密封件20的密封可靠性。
在实际应用中,密封件20通常为柔性可压缩材质,例如,三元乙丙橡胶,通过使将密封件20夹设于壳体10与法兰421之间,对密封件20进行弹性压缩从而实现密封件20的防水防尘性能。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例仅给出凹槽4211设置于法兰421上的示 意图,在壳体10上设置的凹槽4211的情况参照设置即可,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,第一接口402与壳体10之间的连接方式有多种,包括但不限于螺纹连接、卡接等。如图3至图7所示,通过在外壳42上位于容纳腔101的一端设置外螺纹,将第一接口402安装在开口102处后,通过螺母与外螺纹的配合从而将壳体10夹设于法兰421与螺母之间,以实现第一接口402与壳体10的固定连接。在实际应用中,为了避免螺母在控制器的转运过程中或使用过程中震动松脱,还可以在螺母与壳体10之间夹设自锁垫片,通过自锁垫片可以提升第一接口402固定的可靠性。
可选的,转接件40还可以包括:第二接口403,第二接口403设置于柔性主体401的另一端;柔性主体401通过第二接口403与第一电路板30电连接。
在实际应用中,柔性主体401通过第二接口403与第一电路板30电连接,一方面可以提升柔性主体401与第一电路板30之间连接的连接可靠性,另一方面还可以通过第二接口403与第一电路板30之间的可拆卸连接,提升转接件40与第一电路板30之间的安装和维护的便利性。
可选的,第一接口402与第二接口403相同或不同。
本申请实施例中,第一接口402可以为fakra接口,第二接口403可以为fakra接口或SMB接口,第一接口402与第二接口403可以相同或不同。例如,为了满足对外不同的接线需求,可以设置第一接口402为fakra接口,第二接口403为SMB接口,或者,设置第一接口402和第二接口403同为fakra接口,以减少零件种类,降低装配难度。
在实际应用中,当柔性主体401为同轴线时,第一接口402和第二接口403均可以为fakra接口,同轴线两端分别连接一个fakra接口,从而可以通过同轴线的柔性可弯折性能,灵活设置第一接口402在壳体10上的位置,而不会受限于第一电路板30的设置方向。
可以理解的是,当第一接口402和第二接口403均为fakra接口时,fakra接口也可以设置为相同或不同。例如,第一接口402和第二接口403均为fakra接口时,由于第一接口402通过开口102露于壳体10外,因此第 一接口402设置的fakra接口需为具有防水性能的fakra接口,由于第二接口403位于容纳腔101内,因此,第二接口403为fakra接口时,对fakra接口的选择范围可以更广,可以为防水fakra接口或普通不防水fakra接口。例如,可以设置没有防水性能的fakra接口(或者说当前批量应用的fakra接口),从而有效降低fakra接口的成本,进而降低转接件40(控制器)的成本。当然,为了减少fakra接口的型号,以及避免在装配过程中装反,也可以设置第一接口402和第二接口403为相同的fakra接口,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
可以理解的是,在第二接口403为fakra接口或SMB接口的情况下,第一电路板30上相应的也设置有与fakra接口或SMB接口对接的接口,从而实现第二接口403与第一电路板30之间的可拆卸连接,提高转接件40与第一电路板30的维护便利性。
可选的,第一接口402的插拔方向与第一电路板30所在的水平面平行。
如图6或图7所示,第一接口402的插拔方向为“水平横向”插拔,与第一电路板30所在的水平面平行,这样,第一接口402就不会与电路板上电子器件发生干涉,既可以满足横向插拔接线需求,又避免占用纵向空间。可以理解的是,第一接口402的插拔方向也可以设置为“竖直纵向”插拔,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况设置,本申请实施例中第一接口402的插拔方向不再受限于第一电路板30的设置方向,第一接口402的设置更为灵活。
综上,本公开实施例的控制器至少包括以下优点:
本申请实施例中,由于所述密封件设置于所述第一接口、所述壳体之间,密封件可以起到防水密封的作用,可以有效提升控制器的防水等级。又由于所述转接件包括柔性主体,以及设置于所述柔性主体一端的第一接口,所述第一接口通过所述开口露于所述壳体外,所述柔性主体的另一端用于与所述第一电路板电连接,因此,在实际应用中,通过所述柔性主体的弯折,可以根据实际需求调整第一接口在所述壳体上的位置,进而满足所述第一接口对外接线插拔方向的变化(无论横向、纵向以及倾斜插拔均可 满足)。并且,所述第一接口的方向不会影响控制器内电路板的布局,这样还可以有效降低控制器内电子器件的布局难度,提高控制器内电子器件的布局灵活性。
实施例二
本申请实施例仅针对与实施例一中不同的结构及原理进行详细阐述,其它可参照实施例一执行即可,本申请实施例中不再赘述。
参照图8,示出了本公开实施例的另一种控制器的示意图。参照图9,示出了图8所示控制器的爆炸图。参照图10,示出了图8所示控制器的局部结构示意图。参照图11,示出了图10中C位置的放大示意图。
本申请实施例中,转接件40还可以包括:第二电路板50;第二电路板50分别与第一接口402、柔性主体401一端电连接。
在实际应用中,第一接口402为fakra接口的情况下,现有fakra接口通常是直接焊接连接至电路板上,因此,本申请实施例中通过在第一接口402和柔性主体401中设置第二电路板50,将第一接口402焊接连接至第二电路板50上,再通过柔性主体401将第二电路板50与第一电路板30电连接,从而使第一接口402所涵盖的fakra接口的型号以及种类范围更广,控制器的兼容性更强。例如,可以使用目前批量应用的满足IP6K7防水防尘性能的fakra接口作为第一接口402,这样就可以有效降低fakra接口的成本。
本申请实施例中,第二电路板50可以为仅具有转接功能的电路板,也可以为具有一定数据处理功能的电路板,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况设置,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在实际应用中,壳体10、第一电路板30可以与实施例一中所述壳体10以及第一电路板30相同,也可以根据实施例二中转接件40的不同作出适应性调整。例如,第一接口402种类不同时,壳体10上开口102的大小需要与第一接口402相匹配,以便于提升控制器防水防尘的可靠性;或者,在第二电路板50具有第一数据处理功能的情况下,本申请实施例中第一电路板30可以与实施例一中的第一电路板30不同,以减小第一电路板30的板面积,进而减小控制器的体积。对此,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况设定,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
可选的,端子接头41的一端为fakra接头,fakra接头通过开口102外露;端子接头41的另一端为SMB接头或fakra接头,SMB接头或fakra接头与柔性主体401一端电连接。
本申请实施例中,通过设置第一接口402中的端子接头41一端为fakra接头通过开口102外露,从而使控制器对外接头为fakra接头,通过设置端子接头41的另一端为SMB接头或fakra接头,从而使第一接口402的种类更多,范围更广,兼容性更强。
在实际应用中,第一接口也可以理解为一端为fakra连接器,另一端为SMB连接器,第一接口为fakra和SMB的一体化结构,这样,第一接口的体积更小。
参照图12,示出了本公开实施例中转接件的示意图之二。参照图13,示出了本公开实施例中转接件的示意图之三。参照图14,示出了本公开实施例中转接件的示意图之四。如图12至图14所示,端子接头41的一端为fakra接头,fakra接头通过开口102露于壳体10外,端子接头41的另一端为SMB接头,SMB接头与第二电路板50电连接,第二电路板50再通过柔性主体401与第一电路板30电连接。在实际应用中,通过将第一接口402中端子接头41的另一端设置为SMB接头,从而可以实现SMB接头与第二电路板50的焊接连接,使第一接口402与第二电路板50的连接可靠性更高。
在实际应用中,端子接头一端为fakra接头,另一端为SMB接头的情况下,端子接头可以为一体化结构,也就是说fakra接头与SMB接头为一体化结构,这样可以有效减少第一接口的组装工序,缩短制作周期、减少生产成本,并且还减小了第一接口的体积,进而减小占用空间。
可以理解的是,本申请实施例中端子接头41的另一端也可以为fakra接头,在fakra接头直接与同轴线内电缆连接的情况下,本申请实施例的转接件40可以是如实施例一图1至图7中所示的转接件40。
可选的,第一电路板30、第二电路板50二者中的至少一个与柔性主体401可拆卸连接;和/或,第一电路板30、柔性主体401以及第二电路板50为一体成型结构;和/或,第一接口402焊接于第二电路板50上。
如图12所示,第一电路板30、第二电路板50二者均与柔性主体401通过对插端子可拆卸连接,这样可以有效提升第一电路板30、第二电路板50以及转接件40的维护便利性,一旦其中一者出现故障,即可通过对插端子的快速插拔实现维护更换。
如图13所示,第二电路板50与柔性主体401为一体式结构,柔性主体401与第一电路板30通过对插端子实现可拆卸连接,从而不但可以提升维护便利性,还能有效减少装配工序,减少装配工时和装配成本。
如图14所示,第一电路板30、柔性主体401以及第二电路板50为一体成型结构,这样可以有效减少零件装配数量,降低生产成本。在实际应用中,当第一电路板30、柔性主体401以及第二电路板50为一体成型结构的情况下,柔性主体401可以为软硬结合板或者说是具有一定可弯折性能的电路板,从而可以通过柔性主体401的可弯折,实现第一接口402对外接线插拔方向的灵活性。
可以理解的是,以上仅给出了第一电路板30、柔性主体401以及第二电路板50的几种不同连接示例,本领域技术人员还可以根据情况设置其他连接方式,本申请实施例在此不再一一赘述。
在实际应用中,柔性电路板还可以为通过两块PCB基板合成的具有柔性的软硬结合板结构,通过软硬结合板结构连接第一电路板30、第二电路板50,从而实现与第二电路板50连接的第一接口402的对外插拔方向的变化。
如图12-图14所示,第一接口402焊接于第二电路板50上,这样,可以提升第一接口402与第二电路板50的连接可靠性,且可以使第一接口402和第二电路板50组合后的体积更小,更紧凑。
本申请实施例中,柔性主体401可以为柔性电路板(如图12-图14所示),也可以为同轴线,本申请实施例仅给出其中一种示例,其他可参照执行。
如图12-图14所示,本申请实施例中第一接口402与壳体10的连接为通过螺钉固定连接,这样,可以使第一接口与壳体之间的连接可靠性更高。可以理解的是,第一接口402与壳体10之间还可以通过粘接等方式固 定连接,本申请实施例对此不再赘述。
综上,本公开实施例的控制器至少包括以下优点:
本公开实施例中,由于所述密封件设置于所述第一接口、所述壳体之间,密封件可以起到防水密封的作用,可以有效提升控制器的防水等级。又由于所述转接件包括柔性主体,以及设置于所述柔性主体一端的第一接口,所述第一接口通过所述开口露于所述壳体外,所述柔性主体的另一端用于与所述第一电路板电连接,因此,在实际应用中,通过所述柔性主体的弯折,可以根据实际需求调整第一接口在所述壳体上的位置,进而满足所述第一接口对外接线插拔方向的变化(无论横向、纵向以及倾斜插拔均可满足)。并且,所述第一接口的方向不会影响控制器内电路板的布局,这样还可以有效降低控制器内电子器件的布局难度,提高控制器内电子器件的布局灵活性。
本公开实施例还提供了一种可移动平台,所述可移动平台可以包括:上述的控制器。
本申请实施例中,可移动平台包括但不限于:无人机、无人车、机器人、移动电子设备等中的任意一种。具体的,控制器可以为无人机控制器、无人车控制器、机器人控制器或移动电子设备控制器中任一种或多种。
本申请实施例中,通过控制器上的转接件上设置柔性主体以及与柔性主体相连的第一接口,以及柔性主体的柔性可弯折性能,从而可以根据实际需求调整第一接口在控制器的壳体上的位置,进而满足所述第一接口对外接线插拔方向的变化(无论横向、纵向以及倾斜插拔均可满足)。并且,所述第一接口的方向不会影响控制器内电路板的布局,这样还可以有效降低控制器内电子器件的布局难度,提高控制器内电子器件的布局灵活性。由于控制器的对外接线插拔方向更为灵活,因此,控制器在可移动平台上位置的设置也更为灵活,有效降低了可移动平台的布局难度。而且,由于密封件设置于第一接口、壳体之间,密封件可以起到防水密封的作用,可以有效提升控制器的防水防尘等级,进而提升了可移动平台的防水防尘等级。
