Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a heat dissipation structure, control method, and vehicle for integrating an in-vehicle T-BOX with an integrated gateway. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle networking system comprises four parts: a main unit, an in-vehicle T-BOX, a mobile app, and a backend system. The main unit is primarily used for in-vehicle audio-visual entertainment and vehicle information display. The T-BOX, through 4G / 5G remote wireless communication, GPS satellite positioning, accelerometer sensing, and CAN communication, enables remote vehicle monitoring, safety monitoring and alarms, real-time vehicle information collection, recording of vehicle routes, monitoring of vehicle-related faults, and remote vehicle control via the network. The gateway is the central hub of the in-vehicle network, facilitating secure and reliable data transmission and processing between different types of networks within the vehicle across functional domains. The gateway's main function is to provide secure and seamless communication between the network and the ECU, including establishing bridges between the vehicle's many internal networks and external networks. Currently, both the T-BOX and the gateway play different roles in the use of automobiles.

[0003] Currently, in order to improve the integration and modularity of electric vehicles, it is desirable to integrate the gateway and T-BOX together. However, due to the large heat generated by both, the heat dissipation structure needs to be redesigned. If heat dissipation is not timely, high temperature will affect the signal transmission of the gateway, causing signal transmission errors. In view of this, we propose a heat dissipation structure, control method and vehicle for the integration of vehicle T-BOX and integrated gateway. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One objective of this application is to provide a heat dissipation structure for the integration of an in-vehicle T-BOX and an integrated gateway, so as to solve the problem of high heat generation when the in-vehicle T-BOX and integrated gateway are used together in the prior art; another objective is to provide a control method for the integration of an in-vehicle T-BOX and an integrated gateway; and a third objective is to provide a vehicle equipped with an in-vehicle T-BOX and integrated gateway integration.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] Firstly, a heat dissipation structure integrating an in-vehicle T-BOX and an integrated gateway is provided, including a housing for integrating the in-vehicle T-BOX and the integrated gateway. The front and rear ends of the housing are transparent, and multiple heat dissipation slots are provided on the upper and lower ends of both sides of the outer wall of the housing. A detachable air-cooling section is provided at the rear opening of the housing for air cooling of the T-BOX control circuit board and the gateway board. A detachable water-cooling section is provided at the front opening of the housing for water cooling of the T-BOX control circuit board and the gateway board. A water-cooling radiator for auxiliary water cooling is provided on the top of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, the air-cooling section includes a hollow structure first end plate fixed to the rear end of the housing. Two symmetrical second air-cooling plates are installed on the front end face of the first end plate, and a first air-cooling plate is installed between the two second air-cooling plates. Both the second and first air-cooling plates are connected to the inner cavity of the first end plate. Both the second and first air-cooling plates are inserted into the opening of the housing. Multiple first air outlet slots are opened on both the upper and lower end faces of the first air-cooling plate, and multiple second air outlet slots are opened on the end face of the second air-cooling plate near the first air-cooling plate. A through hole is opened on the rear end face of the first end plate, and a first cooling fan is installed at the through hole.

[0008] Preferably, the water-cooling section includes a second end plate fixed to the front end of the housing. A temperature sensor is installed at the center of the rear end face of the second end plate. Two symmetrical mounting brackets are also fixed to the rear end face of the second end plate, and both mounting brackets are inserted into the opening of the housing. A T-BOX control circuit board is installed between the top ends of the two mounting brackets, and a gateway board is installed between the bottom ends of the two mounting brackets. The T-BOX control circuit board and the gateway board are respectively located between the second air-cooling plate and the first air-cooling plate.

[0009] Preferably, the T-BOX control circuit board and the gateway board are each equipped with a detachable water-cooled plate on one of their two opposing end faces. The water-cooled plate includes a plate body, and a cooling channel is formed inside the plate body. Both ends of the cooling channel penetrate the front end of the plate body, and an inlet and a outlet are respectively installed at the openings through which the cooling channel penetrates the plate body. The front end of the second end plate is respectively provided with an inlet pipe and a outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is connected to both inlets, and the outlet pipe is connected to both outlets.

[0010] Preferably, the water-cooled radiator includes a box fixed to the top of the housing, with a groove on the bottom surface of the box, and a closed water inlet chamber and a drain chamber on one side of the groove; multiple heat dissipation pipes distributed vertically are installed in the groove, and the two ends of the heat dissipation pipes are connected to the water inlet chamber and the drain chamber respectively; multiple fins penetrated by the heat dissipation pipes are also fixed in the groove; an integrated water pump is installed on the bottom surface of the box directly below the water inlet chamber, with the water inlet of the integrated water pump connected to the water inlet chamber and the water outlet of the integrated water pump connected to the top of the water inlet pipe; the top of the drain pipe is connected to the drain chamber; an air vent is opened on the bottom surface of the box directly above the groove, and a second cooling fan is installed at the air vent.

[0011] Preferably, two mounting brackets for supporting water-cooled radiators are fixedly installed at the top of the housing by bolts; a mounting plate is provided at the bottom of the housing, and mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the housing by two support plates.

[0012] Preferably, the overall shape of the cooling channel is wavy, and the overall shape of the heat dissipation pipe is wavy.

[0013] Preferably, both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are F-shaped.

[0014] Secondly, a control method is also provided for a heat dissipation structure integrating an in-vehicle T-BOX and an integrated gateway. The control method includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. When the car starts and the vehicle's power is turned on, the power of the first cooling fan is turned on simultaneously. The first cooling fan delivers air to the first end plate, and the air enters the first and second air-cooling plates simultaneously. The air is then blown through the first and second air outlets to the upper and lower ends of the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board for heat dissipation.

[0016] S2. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the housing exceeds the set value, the temperature sensor transmits the high temperature signal to the car host. The host controls the operation of the integrated water pump and the second radiator fan. The operation of the integrated water pump drives the coolant in the water inlet chamber to enter the cooling channel through the water inlet pipe. The heat of the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board is transferred to the water-cooled plate. The heat of the water-cooled plate is absorbed by the coolant in the cooling channel. The coolant carries away the heat and is discharged into the drain pipe through the drain outlet. The coolant is simultaneously discharged into the drain chamber through the drain pipe.

[0017] S3. The second cooling fan blows air onto the fins and heat pipes. The coolant, which has absorbed the high temperature, enters the heat pipe and flows inside. The heat of the coolant is transferred to the heat pipe, and the airflow simultaneously carries away the heat from the heat pipe. The coolant is then cooled and flows back into the water inlet chamber and re-enters the water inlet pipe for circulation.

[0018] Thirdly, a vehicle is also provided, including a vehicle body, wherein the vehicle body is provided with the above-mentioned heat dissipation structure for the fusion of vehicle-mounted T-BOX and integrated gateway.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: First, by mounting the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board on two mounting brackets, integrated installation of the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board is achieved; Second, air-cooling and water-cooling sections are set up to dissipate heat from the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board. When the first cooling fan is running, the airflow can be directly blown to the upper and lower end faces of the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board, which is conducive to heat dissipation; when the air-cooling section is insufficient, the integrated water pump delivers coolant to the cooling channel. As the coolant circulates in the cooling channel, it can remove the heat from the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board, achieving water-cooled heat dissipation of the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board; This design, through the dual heat dissipation method, ensures the heat dissipation effect of the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board, avoids the situation where heat is difficult to dissipate when the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board are used together, and ensures the normal use of the T-BOX control circuit board and gateway board.

[0056] It should be added that, in this embodiment, the first end plate 20 and the second end plate 30 are both fixedly connected to the housing 1 by bolts. The bolt fixing method ensures the stable connection between the first end plate 20 and the second end plate 30 and the housing 1. At the same time, the bolt connection method makes it easy to disassemble the first end plate 20 and the second end plate 30.

[0057] This application also provides a control method for a heat dissipation structure integrating an in-vehicle T-BOX and an integrated gateway, for the aforementioned heat dissipation structure integrating an in-vehicle T-BOX and an integrated gateway, the control method including the following steps:

[0058] S1. When the car is started and the vehicle's power is turned on, the power of the first cooling fan 21 is turned on simultaneously. The first cooling fan 21 delivers air to the first end plate 20, and the air enters the first air-cooling plate 22 and the second air-cooling plate 23 simultaneously. The air is then blown through the first air outlet 221 and the second air outlet 231 to the upper and lower ends of the T-BOX control circuit board 33 and the gateway board 37 for heat dissipation.

[0059] S2. When the temperature sensor 32 detects that the temperature inside the housing 1 exceeds the set value, the temperature sensor 32 transmits the high temperature signal to the car host. The host controls the integrated water pump 44 and the second radiator fan 43 to operate. The integrated water pump 44 drives the coolant in the water inlet chamber 402 to enter the cooling channel 341 through the water inlet pipe 35. The heat from the T-BOX control circuit board 33 and the gateway board 37 is transferred to the water cooling plate 34. The heat from the water cooling plate 34 is absorbed by the coolant in the cooling channel 341. The coolant carries away the heat and is discharged into the drain pipe 36 through the drain outlet 343. The coolant is simultaneously discharged into the drain chamber 403 through the drain pipe 36.

[0060] S3. The second cooling fan 43 operates to blow air onto the fins 42 and the heat pipe 41. The coolant that has absorbed the high temperature enters the heat pipe 41 and flows inside the heat pipe 41. The heat of the coolant is transferred to the heat pipe 41. The airflow simultaneously carries away the heat on the heat pipe 41. The coolant is then cooled and flows back into the water inlet chamber 402 and re-enters the water inlet pipe 35 for circulation.

[0061] This application also provides an automobile, including a vehicle body, the vehicle body being provided with a heat dissipation structure for the fusion of an on-board T-BOX and an integrated gateway.
