[0052] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment discloses an in-vehicle domain controller, characterized by including a housing 100, a bottom cover 200, a motherboard 500, a daughterboard 600, and a heat dissipation system 300, which can effectively reduce the heat generated by the housing 100, the motherboard 500, and the daughterboard 600 during operation, as well as reduce the electromagnetic interference of various electronic components.

[0054] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a receiving cavity, and the housing 100 is provided with a heat dissipation mounting portion 101 extending to the receiving cavity, the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 is open at both ends, and the receiving cavity of the housing 100 is divided into two ends by the heat dissipation mounting portion 101, wherein the larger end is used for mounting the daughter board 600, and the smaller end is used for mounting the antenna, which can effectively separate the daughter board 600 and the antenna, reduce electromagnetic interference, and at the same time, the heat dissipation system 300 is arranged in the heat dissipation mounting portion 101, which can better take away the heat generated by the daughter board 600, the antenna, and the mother board 500, and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0055] The bottom cover 200 is connected with the housing 100 and is used for closing the open face of the housing 100, the housing 100 is provided with two groups of opposite heat dissipation holes 102, and the daughter board 600 is located between the two heat dissipation holes 102.

[0056] The heat dissipation mounting portion 101 and the bottom cover 200 are reserved with a gap for accommodating the mother board 500, and the heat dissipation portion settling area 104 is arranged on the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 and abuts against the bottom cover 200, which can improve the contact area with the mother board 500 and improve the heat dissipation effect of the mother board 500, and at the same time, the mother board 500 is clamped between the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 and the bottom cover 200, which can limit the bottom cover 200 and improve the overall fixing effect.

[0057] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2-5 The mother board 500 is fixed on the bottom cover 200, the area of the mother board 500 is basically laid on the entire bottom cover 200, the bottom cover 200 is provided with a mother board settling area 201 abutting against the mother board 500, and the heat dissipation effect is improved.

[0058] In the embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 and Figure 4 The daughter board 600 is fixed on the inner end wall of the receiving cavity, and is connected and interacted with the mother board 500 through the connector 800, the mother board 500 is fixed on the bottom cover 200, and the daughter board 600 is fixed on the inner end wall of the housing 100, which can increase the distance between the daughter board 600 and the mother board 500 as much as possible in the limited space.

[0059] The biggest improvement in this embodiment is to set the heat dissipation system 300 in the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. The heat dissipation system 300 includes a heat dissipation fan 301 fixed at one end of the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 for introducing fresh air into the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. A plurality of heat dissipation fins 303 parallel to the side wall of the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 are connected in the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 303 are distributed equidistantly in parallel. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 303 are arranged in a V shape at the end close to the heat dissipation fan 301, which can uniformly introduce fresh air into the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. The heat dissipation fins 303 can also conduct heat on the cover 100. The heat on the heat dissipation fins 303 is carried away by the air flow, thereby reducing the temperature of the cover 100.

[0060] In another embodiment, the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 has a rectangular structure. A heat dissipation cover plate 302 covering the heat dissipation fins 303 and the heat dissipation fan 301 is connected to the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. The length of the heat dissipation cover plate 302 is less than the length of the heat dissipation mounting portion 101, which can make the air flow move uniformly along the direction of the heat dissipation fins 303, facilitating the removal of heat. The length of the heat dissipation cover plate 302 is less than the length of the heat dissipation mounting portion 101, which facilitates installation and improves air outlet efficiency.

[0061] At the same time, the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 is flanked by a daughter board 600 and an antenna. The heat dissipation mounting portion 101 is also attached to a mother board 500. By setting the heat dissipation system 300 in the heat dissipation mounting portion 101, the heat generated by the daughter board 600, the antenna, and the mother board 500 can be effectively reduced, improving the overall heat dissipation effect.

[0062] To further improve the heat dissipation effect between the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600, as shown in Figures 4-5 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, an extension cavity 304 protruding towards the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600 is arranged on the side wall of the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. An air hole 3041 is formed in the extension cavity 304. A driven fan blade 305 is rotatably connected in the extension cavity 304 by a rotating shaft perpendicular to the mother board 500. The rotation path of the driven fan blade 305 extends into the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. The driven fan blade 305 is driven to send air to the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600 by the air flow in the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. Fresh air is introduced into the heat dissipation mounting portion 101 by the heat dissipation fan 301. Part of the fresh air is introduced into the driven fan blade 305 along the side wall of the heat dissipation mounting portion 101. The driven fan blade 305 is immediately rotated and blows the introduced fresh air into the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600 through the air hole 3041 in the extension cavity 304. Thus, the heat generated by the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600 is discharged from the heat dissipation hole 102, improving the cooling effect of the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600.

[0063] In this embodiment, in order to improve the wind resistance of the driven fan blade 305, the length of the heat dissipation fin 303 close to the side of the driven fan blade 305 is short, and the driven fan blade 305 is located between the windward side of the heat dissipation fin 303 and the heat dissipation fan 301, which can leave a path for the driven fan blade 305 to rotate, so that the driven fan blade 305 can receive more wind force, and the shorter heat dissipation fin 303 can introduce fresh air into the extension cavity 304, facilitating subsequent heat dissipation of the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600.

[0064] In this embodiment, the cover 100 is also provided with a daughter board part settling area 103 for attaching the daughter board 600, which improves the heat dissipation effect of the daughter board 600, increases the heat dissipation area at the heat concentration position, and further improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0065] As shown in Figure 3 The cover 100 is provided with a plug-in area 105 corresponding to the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600, and a separation cover 700 is arranged on the plug-in area 105 to separate the connectors of the mother board 500 and the daughter board 600.

[0066] In this embodiment, another important improvement is the structure design of the antenna mounting part 400, which is attached to the side wall of the heat dissipation mounting part 101. The cover 100 is provided with the antenna mounting part 400 on the side wall opposite to the plug-in area 105. The antenna mounting part 400 includes two inverted trapezoidal antenna plug-in interfaces 402, which are opposite to the corresponding interfaces on the mother board 500. Through the shape design, when the antenna assembly is connected with the mother board 500, it is convenient to plug in and dock, and the contact area is small, which avoids signal interference between the mother board 500 and the antenna assembly. At the same time, the two antenna plug-in interfaces 402 are separated from each other, which avoids signal interference between the two antenna assemblies. At the same time, the cover 100 is connected with an antenna cover 401 in "L" shape distribution and covering the antenna plug-in interface 402. By setting an independent antenna cover 401 to fix the antenna, the overall effect is improved. At the same time, the cover 100 and the bottom cover 200 are generally made of metal material, while the antenna cover 401 is made of non-metal material, which facilitates signal transmission of the antenna. When assembling and disassembling, the cover 100 and the bottom cover 200 do not need to be disassembled, which improves the disassembly effect. In addition, the antenna assembly is separated from the daughter board 600 through the heat dissipation mounting part 101, and the contact range between the antenna assembly and the mother board 500 is reduced through the inverted trapezoidal distribution of the antenna plug-in interface 402. Moreover, the two antenna plug-in interfaces 402 are also separated from each other. Through the above structure distribution, electromagnetic interference can be minimized, and the stability of signal transmission is improved.

[0067] The above description is an explanation of the present application, not a limitation of the application. The scope of the present application is defined in the claims. Within the protection scope of the present application, any form of modification can be made.
