When the double-headed telescopic rod 241 is extended, the double-headed telescopic rod 241 drives the movable block 243 to move, and the cooling oil can enter the first cavity 111.
[0046] Reference Figure 7 The inner wall of the first fixed cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the limiting strip 244 .
[0047] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 244 is preferably used to block the position of the movable block 243 so that when the double-headed telescopic rod 241 is retracted, the movable block 243 is exactly located at the position of the movable block 243. Figure 7 The position in.

[0051] In this embodiment, the movable plate 253 is preferably L-shaped, the telescopic rod 254 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 253, the hydraulic oil in the second liquid inlet pipe 255 enters the telescopic rod 254, the telescopic rod 254 contracts, and the telescopic rod 254 drives the movable plate 253 to move to the bottom of the movable plate 253. Figure 9 The position in the middle allows the coolant to pass through the bottom of the third fixing plate 251.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the hydraulic oil enters the second control cylinder 2541 from the second liquid inlet pipe 255, the hydraulic oil pushes the second piston head 2542 to slide, and the second piston head 2542 moves to the Figure 9 The second piston head 2542 drives the movable plate 253 to move through the second movable rod 2543, and the movable plate 253 moves to Figure 9 The position in the middle allows the coolant to pass through the bottom of the third fixing plate 251.
[0054] Reference Figure 11The heat dissipation unit 2 also includes a third control component 26, which includes a third control cylinder 261, a first oil inlet pipe 262, a second oil inlet pipe 263, a third piston head 264, a spring 265 and an oil outlet pipe 266. The third control cylinder 261 is fixedly connected to one end of the first oil inlet pipe 262 and the second oil inlet pipe 263 respectively, the other end of the second oil inlet pipe 263 is fixedly connected to the first fixed cylinder 14, the oil outlet pipe 266 is fixedly connected to the second fixed cylinder 15, the inner wall of the third control cylinder 261 is slidably connected to the third piston head 264, and the third control cylinder 261 is fixedly connected to the other ends of the first liquid inlet pipe 2415 and the second liquid inlet pipe 255 respectively.
[0055] In this embodiment, preferably, the third piston head 264 can slide on the inner wall of the third control cylinder 261, connecting the outlet of the oil pump with the first oil inlet pipe 262, and the inlet of the oil pump with the oil outlet pipe 266. When the oil pump is working, the cooling oil is pumped into the third control cylinder 261 through the first oil inlet pipe 262, and the cooling oil in the third control cylinder 261 enters the first fixed cylinder 14 through the second oil inlet pipe 263. The cooling oil in the first fixed cylinder 14 can enter the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 131 to cool the first fixed plate 11, the second fixed plate 12 and the shell 13. Compared with the method of centralized heat dissipation from the bottom of the millimeter-wave radar module in the prior art, it can cool and dissipate heat from six directions of up, down, left, right, front and back, which is conducive to improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Then the cooling oil enters the oil outlet pipe 266 through the second fixed cylinder 15, and then passes through the oil pump and is re-pumped into the first oil inlet pipe 262 for circulation cooling.
[0056] When working, the outlet of the oil pump is connected to the first oil inlet pipe 262, and the inlet of the oil pump is connected to the oil outlet pipe 266. When the oil pump is working, the cooling oil is pumped into the third control cylinder 261 through the first oil inlet pipe 262, and the cooling oil in the third control cylinder 261 enters the first fixed cylinder 14 through the second oil inlet pipe 263. At this time, the third piston head 264 is located at Figure 11 At this time, the cooling oil in the third control cylinder 261 enters the second fixed cylinder 15 through the second oil inlet pipe 263, and the cooling oil in the first fixed cylinder 14 can enter the second cavity 131. Figure 1 The shell 13 on the left side of the first fixed shell 21 is cooled, and then enters the second cavity 131 on the right side of the first fixed shell 21 through a connecting pipe 4. Figure 1 The oil is cooled in the shell 13 on the right side of the first fixed shell 21 and then enters the second fixed cylinder 15, passes through the oil outlet pipe 266, and then passes through the oil pump and is pumped back into the first oil inlet pipe 262 for circulation cooling.
[0057] At this time, when the active block 243 is located at Figure 7When the radar unit 3 is in the middle position, the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 131 are not connected, and the cooling oil cannot enter the second cavity 131. If the radar unit 3 works continuously for a long time, it is necessary to further improve the cooling effect. At this time, the oil pump is controlled to increase the oil pumping volume. Since there is resistance in the cooling oil inside the first cavity 111, and as the flow rate increases, the resistance will also increase, resulting in an increase in the pressure inside the third control cylinder 261. At this time, the third piston head 264 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 265 and moves upward, pressing the hydraulic oil above the third piston head 264 into the first liquid inlet pipe 2415 and the second liquid inlet pipe 255. When the hydraulic oil in the first liquid inlet pipe 2415 enters In the first control cylinder 2411, the first piston head 2412 is pushed to slide, and the first piston head 2412 drives the movable block 243 to move through the first movable rod 2413. At this time, the cooling oil can enter the first cavity 111 through the two ends of the first fixed cylinder 14. The cooling oil first enters the gap between the baffle 1113 and the side wall of the first cavity 111, and then continuously passes between the first transverse plate 1111 and the second transverse plate 1112 until it enters the second fixed cylinder 15; the first transverse plate 1111 and the second transverse plate 1112 are used to guide the cooling oil, ensuring that the cooling oil fully flows through the inside of the first cavity 111, which is beneficial to improving the cooling effect.
[0058] At the same time, the hydraulic oil enters the second control cylinder 2541 from the second liquid inlet pipe 255, and the hydraulic oil pushes the second piston head 2542 to slide. Figure 9 The second piston head 2542 drives the movable plate 253 to move through the second movable rod 2543, and the movable plate 253 moves to Figure 9 The position in the middle allows the coolant to pass through the bottom of the third fixed plate 251. After the coolant inside the second cavity 131 passes through the aisle 211, it can cool the first fixed shell 21 and the second fixed shell 22, and can dissipate heat and cool the inside of the protective shell unit 1, avoiding the situation where the components themselves block the heat dissipation and the heat in the internal central area is difficult to transfer, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect, and can cool the first fixed plate 11, the second fixed plate 12 and the shell 13. Compared with the method of centralized heat dissipation from the bottom of the millimeter-wave radar module in the prior art, it can cool and dissipate heat from six directions of up, down, left, right, front and back, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation efficiency. It can perform hierarchical control of cooling and heat dissipation according to the heating condition of the radar unit 3, and the cooling and heat dissipation control is more flexible.
