[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 The protective case 100 of the airbag controller 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, according to the protective shell 100 of the airbag controller 200 of the first aspect embodiment of the utility model, the protective shell 100 is arranged on the central channel 300 and cooperates with the central channel 300 to define a protective space for accommodating the airbag controller 200, and the protective shell 100 includes: a top plate 10, a first support plate 20 and a second support plate 30.

[0038] Specifically, the top plate 10 extends forward and backward and is arranged on the upper side of the central channel 300, the first support plate 20 extends left and right, the upper end of the first support plate 20 is connected to the front end of the top plate 10 and the lower end extends to be connected to the central channel 300, the second support plate 30 extends left and right, the upper end of the second support plate 30 is connected to the rear end of the top plate 10 and the lower end extends to be connected to the central channel 300.

[0039] The central channel 300 is located in the middle of the vehicle 1000. The central channel 300 is least affected by the vibration of the vehicle 1000. Placing the airbag controller 200 on the central channel 300 can improve the reliability of the airbag controller 200 during the driving of the vehicle 1000.

[0040] During the assembly process, the airbag controller 200 is first mounted on the central channel 300 , and then the protective shell 100 is mounted on the central channel 300 so that the airbag controller 200 is located in the protective space between the top plate 10 , the first support plate 20 and the second support plate 30 .

[0041] During the driving of vehicle 1000, the wiring harness in vehicle 1000 will inevitably shake. It is understandable that as the use time of vehicle 1000 increases, the wiring harness will be displaced relative to the limiting structure of the wiring harness on vehicle 1000. When a wiring harness is provided above the airbag controller 200, the wiring harness may bump into or entangle the airbag controller 200 when shaking, thereby bringing the risk of damaging the airbag controller 200 and causing failure of the installation of the airbag controller.

[0042] When there is no obstruction above the airbag controller 200 in the vehicle 1000, for example, in some models without an armrest box, passengers in the vehicle may squeeze the airbag controller 200 when stepping on the floor of the vehicle 1000, which may also bring the risk of damaging the airbag controller 200 and causing the installed airbag controller to fail.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting a protective shell 100 for the airbag controller 200, the protective shell 100 can provide protection for the airbag controller 200. When the wiring harness swings from the covering direction of the protective shell 100 toward the airbag controller 200, the protective shell 100 can prevent the wiring harness from contacting the airbag controller 200. When the wiring harness is displaced too much and is wrapped around the protective shell 100, the protective shell 100 can provide support to prevent the wiring harness from directly winding around the airbag controller 200, thereby reducing the probability of the wiring harness hitting or winding around the airbag controller 200. Moreover, when an object above the airbag controller 200 is deformed toward the airbag controller 200, the protective shell 100 can support the object above the airbag controller 200, and within the normal deformation range of the protective shell 100, the upper object can be prevented from squeezing the airbag controller 200.

[0044] In addition, the structure of the protective shell 100 is relatively simple, which can reduce production costs during the production process. During the product design process, the size, relative angle and other parameters of the top plate 10, the first support plate 20 and the second support plate 30 can be adjusted to meet more product design needs and reduce the difficulty of product design.

[0045] According to the protective shell 100 of the airbag controller 200 of the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model, it can provide protection for the airbag controller 200, reduce the probability that the wiring harness in the vehicle 1000 hits or entangles the airbag controller 200, causing the airbag controller 200 to be damaged and invalid, and reduce the probability that objects above the airbag controller 200 squeeze the airbag controller 200, causing the airbag controller 200 to be damaged and invalid, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle 1000 during use, and the structure of the protective shell 100 is relatively simple, which can reduce production costs.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 5As shown, the protective shell 100 further includes: a first folded edge 40 and a second folded edge 50. Specifically, the first folded edge 40 is horizontally arranged and connected to the lower end of the first support plate 20, the first folded edge 40 is supported on the upper side surface of the central channel 300 and is detachably connected to the central channel 300, and the second folded edge 50 is horizontally arranged and connected to the lower end of the second support plate 30, the second folded edge 50 is supported on the upper side surface of the central channel 300 and is detachably connected to the central channel 300.

[0047] Among them, by setting the first folding edge 40, the first folding edge 40 can increase the contact area between the first support plate 20 and the upper surface of the central channel 300, thereby improving the stability of the first support plate 20 on the central channel 300, and can reduce the pressure of the first support plate 20 on the upper surface of the central channel 300, thereby improving the reliability of the central channel 300; similarly, by setting the second folding edge 50, the second folding edge 50 can increase the contact area between the second support plate 30 and the upper surface of the central channel 300, thereby improving the stability of the second support plate 30 on the central channel 300, and can reduce the pressure of the second support plate 30 on the upper surface of the central channel 300, thereby improving the reliability of the central channel 300. Through the detachable connection between the first folding edge 40 and the second folding edge 50 and the central channel 300, when the airbag controller 200 needs to be repaired, the protective shell 100 can be removed from the central channel 300, thereby facilitating the repair of the airbag controller 200.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first folded edge 40 is formed with a first fixing hole 41 that passes through the first folded edge 40 from top to bottom, and the first folded edge 40 is fixedly connected to the central channel 300 by a fastener passing through the first fixing hole 41, and the second folded edge 50 is formed with a second fixing hole 51 that passes through the second folded edge 50 from top to bottom, and the second folded edge 50 is fixedly connected to the central channel 300 by a fastener passing through the second fixing hole 51. Thus, the detachable connection between the first folded edge 40 and the second folded edge 50 and the central channel 300 can be achieved, wherein the connection by the fastener is simple to operate and reliable, which can improve production efficiency and improve the reliability of the connection between the protective shell 100 and the central channel 300.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front end of the first folded edge 40 is connected to the first support plate 20 and the rear end extends backward, and the front end of the second folded edge 50 is connected to the second support plate 30 and the rear end extends backward. Thus, the first folded edge 40 is arranged in the protection space defined by the protective shell 100 and the central channel 300, so that the space occupied by the protective shell 100 can be reduced, and the protective shell 100 is convenient to be arranged on the vehicle 1000.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an operation hole 60 is formed on the top plate 10 and / or the first support plate 20, and the operation hole 60 is directly opposite to the first fixing hole 41. That is to say, the operation hole 60 can be formed on the top plate 10, or on the first support plate 20, or on the top plate 10 and the first support plate 20. By setting the operation hole 60, the operation hole 60 can provide an escape space for the operating tool. During the assembly process, the operator extends the operating tool into the operation hole 60 from above and causes the operating tool to act on the fastener, and then tightens the fastener passing through the first fixing hole 41 on the central channel 300. In this way, the first folding edge 40 can be fixed on the central channel 300, and the operation process is simple and convenient.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first fixing hole 41 is provided on the first fold 40, and two second fixing holes 51 are arranged at intervals on the left and right sides of the second fold 50. Thus, the stability and assembly accuracy of the protective shell 100 on the central channel 300 can be ensured, and the operation steps will not be too complicated, which can ensure production efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the first support plate 20 and the second support plate 30 both include: a first plate segment and a second plate segment, the first plate segment extends vertically, the second plate segment is connected to the upper end of the first plate segment, and in the direction from bottom to top, the second plate segment of the first support plate 20 and the second plate segment of the second support plate 30 extend toward each other, and extend to connect with the front and rear ends of the top plate 10 respectively. In this way, the protection space between the protective shell 100 and the central channel 300 can be adapted to the shape of the airbag controller 200, so that the protection effect of the protective shell 100 on the airbag control can be improved.

[0053] During the product design process, parameters such as the size and relative angle of the first plate segment and the second plate segment can be adjusted to meet more product design requirements and reduce the difficulty of product design.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the protective shell 100 is formed with a reinforcing rib 70, and the reinforcing rib 70 is connected between the first plate segment and the second plate segment, and / or, the reinforcing rib 70 is connected between the second plate segment and the top plate 10. By providing the reinforcing rib 70, the connection strength between the first plate segment and the second plate segment and / or between the second plate segment and the top plate 10 can be improved, thereby improving the supporting strength of the protective shell 100, and further improving the protective effect of the protective shell 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing rib 70 protrudes toward the side surface where the protection space is located. Thus, the reinforcing rib 70 can be arranged on the protective shell 100, and the reinforcing rib 70 is arranged in the protection space between the protective shell 100 and the central channel 300, which can reduce the space occupied by the protective shell 100, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the protective shell 100 on the vehicle 1000.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the protective shell 100 is integrally formed. Integral forming can realize automated production. By producing the protective shell 100 through an integral forming process, production efficiency can be improved and production costs can be reduced.

[0057] The vehicle 1000 according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model comprises a central channel 300, an airbag controller 200 and a protective shell 100 of the airbag controller 200 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model.
