Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic controller installation, in particular to an electronic controller and a car. Background Art

[0002] The UWB (U1tra wideband) controller of a car is an electronic controller based on ultra-wideband technology. It can be used to realize functions such as automatic driving of the vehicle, communication between vehicles and coordinated driving, and improve the safety and intelligence level of the vehicle.

[0003] The UWB controller has the following characteristics: 1. It is necessary to install at least 4 to 5 UWB controllers in multiple different locations on the car body (such as the front windshield of the car, the rear seats of the car, and the front and rear bumpers of the car); 2. The body space in some locations of the car (such as the rear seats of the car) is limited, so the size of the UWB shell needs to be strictly limited, especially the thickness of the UWB shell needs to be limited; 3. Due to the diversity of the installation locations of the UWB controller, sheet metal or plastics of different thicknesses will be encountered during installation. The UWB controller in the prior art cannot efficiently adapt to sheet metal or plastics of different thicknesses; 4. Since the UWB controller has very high requirements for radio frequency, in order to avoid the adverse effects of metal sheet metal on radio frequency, the UWB controller needs to be installed as far away from metal sheet metal as possible.

[0067] The following is an explanation of the implementation of the present invention by specific specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and functions of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Although the description of the present invention will be introduced in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, this does not mean that the features of this utility model are limited to this implementation. On the contrary, the purpose of introducing the utility model in conjunction with the implementation is to cover other options or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present invention. In order to provide a deep understanding of the present invention, the following description will include many specific details. The present invention can also be implemented without using these details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion or blurring the focus of the present invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0068] It should be noted that in this specification, similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0069] In the description of this embodiment, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "bottom", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientations or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0070] The terms “first”, “second”, etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0071] In the description of this embodiment, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this embodiment can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0072] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] The electronic controller of the automobile may include an ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a UWB controller, etc. For ease of explanation, the UWB controller will be used as an example below.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The UWB controller includes a housing 1 and a connecting portion 4. A mounting foot 2 is provided on the housing. Screw holes 3 are provided at positions corresponding to the mounting foot 2 and the part to be mounted. The UWB controller is mounted on the part to be mounted by inserting screws. In order to facilitate drilling holes on the mounting foot 2 and driving screws into the screw holes 3 for installation, the mounting foot 2 used in this method occupies a large space, and the installation method is inflexible. The UWB controller cannot be flexibly installed in different positions of the car, or a variety of different UWB housings need to be designed according to the needs of different positions, which increases the production and installation costs of the product.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The UWB controller includes a housing 1 and a connecting portion 3. A backing adhesive 2 is provided on one side of the housing 1 in the thickness direction Y, and the UWB controller is pasted and installed on the vehicle body through the backing adhesive 2. This method has high requirements for the manufacturing of the backing adhesive 2, and the reliability of the product is unstable, and the UWB controller is easy to fall off from the vehicle body.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The UWB controller includes a housing 1 and a connecting portion 2. A buckle 3 is provided on one side of the housing 1 in the thickness direction Y. The UWB controller is installed on the part to be installed by connecting the buckle 3 with the mounting hole opened on the part to be installed. In this way, the overall thickness of the product is too large due to the design of the buckle 3, which cannot meet the requirements of installing the UWB controller in places with limited space on the vehicle body, and the UWB controller cannot be installed in this installation method in places where it is not suitable to open a hole.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The UWB controller includes a housing 1, and the housing 1 is connected to the component to be installed through a metal bracket 2, that is, the first end 21 of the metal bracket is connected to the component to be installed, and the second end 22 is connected to the housing 1 of the UWB controller. In this way, the UWB controller is installed through an additional metal bracket 2. In actual industrial applications, the metal bracket 2 is relatively expensive, which will increase the production cost of the product, and the existence of the metal bracket 2 will have an adverse effect on the radio frequency performance of the UWB.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The present application provides an electronic controller, including a housing 10, wherein the housing 10 has a first side surface 11, a second side surface 12, and a third side surface 13, wherein the first side surface 11 and the second side surface 12 are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction x, and the third side surface 13 is connected to the first side surface 11 and the second side surface 12 at the same time, and has a connecting portion 131 on the third side surface 13 for electrically connecting to an external component. Exemplarily, the housing 10 is in the shape of a cuboid, wherein the first direction x is defined along the width direction of the cuboid, the second direction Y is defined along the thickness direction of the cuboid, and the third direction z is defined along the length direction of the cuboid.

[0079] It is understandable that the housing 10 can also be other shapes such as a cube, and the present application does not limit this, but it should be noted that no matter what shape the housing 10 is, the first direction X is not the thickness direction of the housing 10. The design of the housing 10 of the UWB controller requires that the height and width dimensions are as small as possible. Exemplarily, the height of the housing 10 is less than 20 mm, and the width is less than about 40 mm, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 The electronic controller includes a first fixing member 20 and a second fixing member 30. The first fixing member 20 is protruded along the first direction x on the first side surface 11 of the shell 10; the second fixing member 30 is protruded along the first direction x on the second side surface 12 of the shell 10 facing away from the first fixing member 20. The second fixing member 30 and the first fixing member 20 are both used to be fixedly connected to the component 40 to be installed (such as a sheet metal or a plastic plate).

[0081] By setting the first fixing member 20 and the second fixing member 30 relative to each other in the first direction x of the shell 10 (not the thickness direction of the shell 10), a fixed connection with the component to be installed 40 is achieved. In this way, it is possible to avoid setting fixing members in the thickness direction of the shell 10, so that the electronic controller is limited by the thickness requirement and cannot be installed in a limited space position on the car.

[0082] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The first fixing member 20 includes a first positive connection portion 21 and a first negative connection portion 22, and the second fixing member 30 includes a second positive connection portion 31 and a second negative connection portion 32; when the electronic controller is positively connected (such as Figure 6 As shown), the first positive connection portion 21 and the second positive connection portion 31 are used to be fixedly connected to the component to be installed 40. At this time, the UWB controller is integrally arranged on the upper surface 4213 of the component to be installed 40 (refer to Fig.18 ), along the second direction Y, the component to be mounted 40 also has a lower surface (not shown) opposite to the upper surface 4213;

[0083] When the electronic controller is reversed (such as Figure 7 As shown), the housing 10 is turned 180 degrees, and the first reverse connection portion 22 and the second reverse connection portion 32 are used to be fixedly connected to the component to be installed 40. At this time, the UWB controller is disposed as a whole in the cavity 411 of the component to be installed 40 (refer to Fig.15 ). Exemplarily, the first positive connection portion 21 is disposed at the lower portion of the first side surface 11, the first negative connection portion 22 is disposed at the lower portion of the first side surface 11, the second positive connection portion 31 is disposed at the upper portion of the first side surface 11, and the second negative connection portion 32 is disposed at the lower portion of the second side surface 12.

[0084] In some embodiments, the number of the second positive connection part 31 or the first positive connection part 21 is multiple, and the multiple second positive connection parts 31 or the multiple first positive connection parts 21 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z; or, the number of the second positive connection part 31 and the first positive connection part 21 are both multiple, and the multiple second positive connection parts 31 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, and the multiple first positive connection parts 21 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z. Exemplarily, one first positive connection part 21 is provided at the lower part of the first side surface 11, and two second positive connection parts 31 are provided at the lower part of the second side surface 12, and the two second positive connection parts 31 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z. Two first reverse connection parts 22 are provided at intervals along the third direction Z at the upper part of the first side surface 11, and two second reverse connection parts 32 are provided at intervals along the third direction Z at the upper part of the second side surface 12.

[0085] It can be understood that the present application does not limit the number of the first positive connection part 21, the second positive connection part 31, the first reverse connection part 22 and the second reverse connection part 32. For example, multiple (2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) first positive connection parts 21 and one or more (3, 4, 5, etc.) first reverse connection parts 22 may be arranged at intervals along the third direction z on the first side surface 11; multiple (2, 3, 4, 5, etc.) second positive connection parts 31 and one or more (3, 4, 5, etc.) second reverse connection parts 32 may be arranged at intervals along the third direction z on the second side surface 12.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first positive connection portion 21 abuts or clamps with the part to be installed 40, the second positive connection portion 31 clamps with the part to be installed 40, and the first reverse connection portion 22 and the second reverse connection portion 32 both abut against the part to be installed 40. Exemplarily, the first positive connection portion 21 abuts with the part to be installed 40, the second positive connection portion 31 clamps with the part to be installed 40, and the first reverse connection portion 22 and the second reverse connection portion 32 both abut against the part to be installed 40. It can be understood that when the first positive connection portion 21 clamps with the part to be installed 40, the clamping scheme of the second positive connection portion 31 described later can be adopted.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Figure 8The first positive connection portion 21 includes a first portion 211 and a second portion 212. The first portion 211 is provided on the first side surface 11 and passes through the first mounting hole 4211 of the component 40 to be mounted. The second portion 212 is protruded from the first portion 211 along the second direction Y and abuts against the lower surface of the component 40 to be mounted below the component 40. Exemplarily, after passing through the component 40 to be mounted, the first portion 211 bends toward the lower surface of the component 40 to be mounted. At this time, the first portion 211 and the second portion 212 jointly form a U-shaped first positive connection portion 21.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The second portion 212 includes a high portion 2121 and a low portion 2122. The low portion 2122 is lower than the high portion 2121 along the second direction Y. The high portion 2121 abuts against the to-be-installed component 40 having a first thickness a, and the low portion 2122 abuts against the to-be-installed component 40 having a second thickness b. The first thickness a is lower than the second thickness b along the second direction Y. Exemplarily, the high portion 2121 and the bottom together form the second portion 212 having a "convex" shape.

[0089] Fig. 9 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the high portion 2121 abutting against the component 40 to be mounted having a first thickness a; see FIG. Fig.10 , Fig.10 A schematic diagram is shown in which the lower portion 2122 abuts against the component to be mounted 40 having a second thickness b. At this time, the component to be mounted 40 is also provided with a through hole 4213, which is connected to the first mounting hole 4211, and the upper portion 2121 can be passed through the through hole 4213. The side wall of the through hole 4213 can abut against the side surface of the upper portion 2121, which can further prevent the component to be mounted 40 from slipping in the second direction Y.

[0090] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the part 40 to be installed can be sheet metal or plastic, and this application does not limit this. Exemplarily, the part 40 to be installed with a first thickness a is sheet metal, and the part 40 to be installed with a second thickness b is plastic. It can be understood that the part 40 to be installed with a first thickness a can also be plastic, and the part 40 to be installed with a second thickness b is sheet metal, and this application does not limit this.
