The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0029] The present invention provides a two-in-one waterproof controller 10 to solve the problems of poor heat dissipation and large volume caused by combining two controllers in the prior art, while improving its waterproof performance.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main structure of the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 includes: a first control panel 100, a second control panel 200, a base body 300, a first heat dissipation component 400 and a second heat dissipation component 500. Receiving grooves 310 are provided on both sides of the base body 300. The first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 are respectively received in the two receiving grooves 310, and the first heat dissipation component 400 and the second heat dissipation component 500 are respectively covered at the notches of the two receiving grooves 310.

[0031] The base body 300 is provided with a heat dissipation through hole 320, and the heat dissipation through hole 20 is located between the two receiving grooves 310. The receiving grooves 310 are provided with a heat conductive potting glue, and the heat conductive potting glue wraps the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200.

[0032] The two-in-one waterproof controller 10 of the present invention takes into account both air cooling and water cooling in terms of heat dissipation. Among them, the first heat dissipation component 400 and the second heat dissipation component 500 play the role of air cooling, and the heat dissipation through hole 320 plays the role of water cooling. The two modes cooperate with each other to improve the heat dissipation performance of the two-in-one waterproof controller 10. Its specific working principle will be described below.

[0033] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of partitions 321 are provided inside the heat dissipation through hole 320, and the plurality of partitions 321 divide the inside of the heat dissipation through hole 320 into a plurality of heat exchange channels, and the plurality of heat exchange channels are interconnected. The partitions 321 can increase the heat exchange area, thereby improving the heat dissipation rate. Preferably, as Figure 4 As shown, a detachable shielding plate 330 is provided on the base body 300, and the shielding plate 330 blocks both ends of the heat dissipation through hole 320. Figure 5 As shown, a water inlet 301 and a water outlet 302 are provided on the base body 300 . The water inlet 301 and the water outlet 302 are respectively located at two ends of the base body 300 , and both the water inlet 301 and the water outlet 302 are connected to the heat dissipation through hole 320 .

[0034] When water cooling is performed, the shielding plate 330 can be used to block the two ends of the heat dissipation hole 320, and the heat dissipation hole 320 can be filled with water or coolant, and then an external water pump is used to make the water or coolant in the heat dissipation hole 320 flow, thereby reducing the heat of the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 and achieving heat dissipation.

[0035] To avoid leakage during the flow of liquid, it is preferred that Figure 4 As shown, the shielding plate 330 is provided with a rubber plug 331 and a screw 332, the rubber plug 331 is adapted to the port of the heat dissipation through hole 320, and the base body 300 is provided with a screw hole 303 adapted to the screw 332. In addition, a waterproof sealing ring 333 is provided between the shielding plate 330 and the base body 300. When the shielding plate 330 covers the port of the heat dissipation through hole 320, the screw 332 is locked in the screw hole 303, the rubber plug 331 is inserted and blocks the port of the heat dissipation through hole 320, and the waterproof sealing ring 333 is pressed between the shielding plate 330 and the base body 300, and the rubber plug 331 and the waterproof sealing ring 333 form a double defense line to achieve a good waterproof sealing effect.

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the structure of the first heat dissipation assembly 400 is the same as that of the second heat dissipation assembly 500. The first heat dissipation assembly 400 includes: a cover plate 410, a fan 420 and a connecting frame 430. The cover plate 410 is installed on the base body 300 and covers the opening of the receiving groove 310. A heat dissipation fin 411 is provided on one side of the cover plate 410. The fan 420 is installed on the side of the cover plate 410 with the heat dissipation fin 411. The fan 420 is used to speed up the air flow around the heat dissipation fin 411; the connecting frame 430 is installed on the cover plate 410 and is attached to the fan 420.

[0037] Next, the working principle of the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 of the present invention is described:

[0038] During assembly, first install the first control panel 100 into one of the receiving grooves 310, then fill the thermally conductive potting glue into the receiving groove 310 until the thermally conductive potting glue can completely wrap the first control panel 100, then cover the first heat dissipation component 400 at the opening of the receiving groove 310, and wait for the thermally conductive potting glue to solidify. Similarly, install the second control panel 200 into another receiving groove 310, and also fill the thermally conductive potting glue into the receiving groove 310 until the thermally conductive potting glue can completely wrap the second control panel 200, then cover the second heat dissipation component 500 at the opening of the receiving groove 310, and wait for the thermally conductive potting glue to solidify;

[0039] During operation, the heat generated by the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 will be transferred to the base body 300 and the cover plates 410 on both sides through the thermally conductive potting glue. When air cooling is performed, the fan 420 is started, and the fan 420 will increase the air flow rate around the heat dissipation fins 411, thereby quickly taking away the heat of the cover plate 410 and the heat dissipation fins 411, thereby improving its heat exchange efficiency. When water cooling is performed, the shielding plate 330 is sealed at both ends of the heat dissipation through hole 320, and the heat dissipation through hole 320 is filled with heat dissipation liquid (such as water or coolant, etc.), and then the heat dissipation liquid in the heat dissipation through hole 320 is caused to flow through an external water pump, thereby quickly taking away the heat of the base body 300. In this way, the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 can take into account both air cooling and water cooling.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 of the present invention has the following features and beneficial effects:

[0041] First, the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 are installed in the receiving groove 310 by using a glue potting process, that is, the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 are wrapped in a thermally conductive potting glue. The glue potting installation method can not only achieve waterproof sealing to prevent water vapor from contacting the circuit to cause malfunction or short circuit accidents; it can also improve the thermal conductivity, thereby quickly transferring the heat generated by the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 to the base body 300. At the same time, when a collision or bump occurs, the thermally conductive potting glue can provide a buffer for the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200, thereby preventing damage to them or loosening and misalignment of internal electronic components;

[0042] Secondly, the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 of the present invention has both air cooling and water cooling modes. During operation, the heat generated by the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 will be transferred to the base body 300 and the cover plates 410 on both sides. At this time, the present invention adopts air cooling for the cover plates 410 on both sides and water cooling for the base body 300, and the two cooling modes are carried out simultaneously, thereby greatly improving the overall heat dissipation performance;

[0043] Third, the heat dissipation through hole 320 is set between the two receiving grooves 310. When the heat is dissipated by water cooling, the heat on both sides of the base body 300 is exchanged through the heat dissipation through hole 320 in the middle. In this way, only one common base body 300 and water cooling heat dissipation module (heat dissipation through hole 320) need to be set for the two controllers. This can save space, reduce the overall volume, and improve portability.

[0044] Furthermore, since the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 of the present invention are wrapped in a heat-conducting potting glue, the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 can be used in a rainy environment. In addition, in a rainy environment, the heat dissipation through hole 320 can also achieve water cooling without the need for an external water pump. Specifically, the placement state of the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 when in use is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation through hole 320 is vertically upward. In a rainy environment, there is no need to set a shielding plate 330 above the heat dissipation through hole 320, and the water inlet 301 does not need an external device; during operation, rainwater will fall into the heat dissipation through hole 320 and accumulate therein to form a water column, which is then discharged through the water outlet 302 by itself, thereby achieving liquid flow in the heat dissipation through hole 320, thereby taking away the heat from the central area of ​​the base body 300.

[0045] The present invention also solves the problem of waterproof connection of the fan 420. In this embodiment, the fan 420 of the first heat dissipation assembly 400 is electrically connected to the first control panel 100 through a wire, and the fan of the second heat dissipation assembly 500 is also electrically connected to the second control panel 200 through a wire. The wire is passed through the interior of the connection frame 430 to achieve a waterproof effect.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 are both provided with a heat conducting sheet 110 (eg, Figure 6 ). When the cover plate 410 is installed, the heat conductive sheet 110 is attached to the cover plate 410. The provision of the heat conductive sheet 110 can transfer the heat of the first control panel 100 and the second control panel 200 to the cover plate 410 more quickly. Preferably, thermal conductive silicone grease is provided between the cover plate 410 and the heat conductive sheet 110, and the cover plate 410 is made of aluminum alloy, and the heat conductive sheet 110 is made of copper. In this way, the heat exchange efficiency between the cover plate 410 and the heat conductive sheet 110 can be further improved, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance.

[0047] In one embodiment, the cover plate 410 is provided with a plurality of fan installation positions for installing fans 420 of different styles and sizes. In this way, the user can replace fans 420 of different styles according to different usage environments to meet actual needs.

[0048] In summary, the two-in-one waterproof controller 10 of the present invention can achieve miniaturization while ensuring good heat dissipation performance, thereby reducing the occupied space size and improving portability; at the same time, it improves waterproof performance and ensures safety of use.

[0049] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
