However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0059] In order to fully understand the implementation of the present invention, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0060] It should be understood that the purpose of the terms used herein is only to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention, and the singular forms "a", "an" and "said / the" are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0062] The "parallel" / "perpendicular" and similar expressions used in the present invention include an absolute parallel / perpendicular relationship and a roughly parallel / perpendicular relationship (for example, a relationship that differs from absolute parallel / perpendicular by -5° to +5°), which can have the same effect.

[0063] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0064] The utility model provides a sealing ring, a connector assembly, a controller and a vehicle. The sealing ring can be produced, sold and used as a sealing component alone. The sealing ring can also be used as a part of the connector assembly and sleeved on the outer periphery of the connector of the connector assembly, so as to facilitate the assembly of the connector assembly in the corresponding product. The controller here has the aforementioned connector assembly and can be used in a vehicle to achieve a more stable control purpose of a vehicle-mounted drone.

[0065] See below for Figures 1 to 8 The illustrated example describes in detail the sealing ring, the connector assembly, the controller and the vehicle according to the present invention.

[0066] See also Figures 2 to 5According to the present invention, the sealing ring can be constructed as a flexible and elastically deformable insulating structure. The sealing ring 120 has an inner hole 120c (such as Figure 5 The inner hole 120c penetrates the sealing ring 120 along the first direction D4. The first direction D4 is, for example, Figure 3 and Figure 5 Left and right directions under the perspective. The sealing ring 120 is suitable for being sleeved on the outside of a connector waiting to be connected, for example, to achieve connection and sealing with the to-be-connected part. The sealing ring 120 also has an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface. The inner circumferential surface is located on the inner side of the outer circumferential surface. The inner circumferential surface can also be understood as a surface facing the inner hole 120c. The outer circumferential surface can be understood as a surface further away from the inner hole 120c than the inner circumferential surface. The inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface are each configured to extend along the circumference of the sealing ring 120 and be connected end to end. The inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 120 is recessed to form a sealing groove 120a. Here, the recessed direction of the sealing groove 120a can be recorded as the second direction D5. The second direction D5 and the first direction D4 have an angle. The notch of the sealing groove 120a faces the geometric center of the sealing ring 120. When the sealing ring 120 is circular, the geometric center is the center of the circle. That is, the sealing groove 120a is configured to be recessed from the inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 120 in a direction away from its own geometric center. Taking the connector 110 as an example, the sealing groove 120 a is suitable for accommodating the rib 111 on the outer periphery of the connector to achieve snap connection to the connector 110 .

[0067] During the assembly of the sealing ring 120 and the part to be connected, the part to be connected passes through the inner hole of the sealing ring 120 in the first direction D4, so that the sealing ring 120 can be sleeved on the outside of the part to be connected.

[0068] According to the sealing ring 120 of the utility model, a sealing groove 120a is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 120 for engaging with the part to be connected, so as to achieve a reliable seal between the part to be connected and the housing of the controller. In addition, since the first direction D4 and the second direction D5 form an angle, when the sealing ring 120 is connected to the part to be connected, the sealing ring 120 can be prevented from moving relative to the part to be connected in the first direction D4, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the installation of the sealing ring 120 and the part to be connected more firmly. When the sealing ring 120 is sleeved on the connector 110, the assembly operation of the connector 110 and the sealing ring 120 during the production process of the controller is facilitated. When the sealing ring 120 is first assembled with the connector 110 and then assembled with the housing of the controller, it helps to improve the assembly efficiency.

[0069] For example, the sealing ring 120 may include two side walls 121 arranged opposite to each other along the first direction D4 and a connecting wall 122 located between the two side walls 121. The side walls 121 are extended along the second direction D5. The second direction D5 intersects with the first direction D4 and has an angle. The angle may range from 70° to 110°. The connecting wall 122 is extended along the first direction D4. And the connecting wall 122 is connected to the ends of the two side walls 121 along the second direction D5 at both ends along the first direction D4. The ends of the side walls 121 along the second direction D5 here are specifically the ends of the side walls 121 closer to the geometric center of the sealing ring 120 along the second direction D5. The surfaces of the two side walls 121 facing each other and the connecting wall 122 enclose a sealing groove 120a. The sealing groove 120a here can be understood as a groove structure formed by the inner peripheral surface of the sealing ring 120 being recessed toward the side close to the outer peripheral surface.

[0070] In other examples, the connection between the side wall 121 and the connection wall 122 may be configured as a smoothly transitioned arc shape.

[0071] In other examples, the connecting wall 122 may also be integrally configured to be in an arc shape tangent to the side wall 121 .

[0072] Further, a sealing protrusion 120b is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the sealing ring 120. Specifically, the surfaces of the two side walls 121 away from each other and the connecting wall 122 enclose the sealing protrusion 120b. The sealing protrusion 120b is suitable for sealingly connecting to the first groove 132 of the first shell 130 and the second groove 142 of the second shell 140. The sealing protrusion 120b can be understood as a convex structure formed by the outer peripheral surface of the sealing ring 120 protruding along the second direction D5 toward the side away from the geometric center of the sealing ring 120. The sealing protrusion 120b and the sealing groove 120a are coplanar in a plane perpendicular to the center line of the sealing ring 120. The center line here passes through the above-mentioned geometric center and is perpendicular to the above-mentioned first direction D4 and second direction D5. The sealing protrusion 120b is respectively engaged with the first groove 132 and the second groove 142, so as to more conveniently and reliably achieve the sealing purpose of the sealing ring and the first shell 130 and the second shell 140 of the controller.

[0073] exist Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the example shown, only one sealing groove 120a is provided, which is conducive to simplifying the structure and facilitating manufacturing and assembly.

[0074] In other examples not shown, the number of the sealing grooves 120a may be two or more. Two or more sealing grooves 120a are arranged at intervals in the first direction D4. In this way, multiple seals can be formed between the connector 110 and the sealing ring 120 of the connector assembly, and between the sealing ring 120 and the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 of the controller, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0075] See also Figures 2 to 5 In addition, the sealing ring 120 may further include an extension wall 123. The extension wall 123 is connected to the end of the side wall 121 away from the connecting wall 122 along the first direction D4. The extension wall 123 is extended along the first direction D4 toward a side away from the sealing groove 120a. By providing the extension wall 123, it is helpful to increase the sealing area between the first housing 130, the second housing 140, the connector 110 of the connector assembly and the sealing ring 120, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0076] Continue reading Figures 2 to 5 Furthermore, the sealing groove 120a extends in the circumferential direction of the sealing ring 120 and is connected end to end. In this way, the sealing ring 120 can be applied to the example where the rib 111 is connected end to end in the circumferential direction of the connector 110, thereby achieving more reliable sealing performance.

[0077] Optionally, the sealing ring 120 is made of soft elastic materials such as rubber and silicone rubber.

[0078] See also Figures 1 to 8 The utility model also provides a connector assembly. The connector assembly may include a connector 110 and the above-mentioned sealing ring 120. The outer peripheral surface of the connector 110 extends outward in a direction intersecting with its own length direction D1 to form a convex rib 111. The convex rib 111 is extended along the circumference of the connector 110. The sealing ring 120 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connector 110. The sealing groove 120a of the sealing ring 120 accommodates the convex rib 111 to achieve a snap connection with the connector 110. The sealing ring 120 is suitable for sealingly fitting in the first groove 132 of the first shell 130 and the second groove 142 of the second shell 140 of the controller.

[0079] According to the connector assembly of the utility model, the sealing ring 120 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the connector 110 of the connector assembly, so that the sealing ring 120 and the connector 110 can be easily assembled. As a result, the sealing ring 120 is used as a part of the connector assembly, which facilitates the assembly of the connector assembly in the housing of the controller. Since the rib 111 on the outer periphery of the connector 110 cooperates with the sealing groove 120a of the sealing ring 120, the sealing ring 120 can be aligned in the length direction D1 (see FIG. 2 ) of the connector 110. Figure 3 and Figure 6After the rib 111 cooperates with the sealing ring 120, the shape of the sealing protrusion 120b of the sealing ring 120 can be stably maintained in the sealing groove 120a of the sealing ring 120, so that the sealing ring 120 is prevented from falling off and shifting during the process of the rib 111 being inserted into the first groove 132 and the second groove 142.

[0080] Continue reading Figures 1 to 8 For example, the rib 111 extends along the circumference of the connector 110 and is connected end to end. The sealing groove 120a extends along the circumference of the sealing ring 120 and is connected end to end. This increases the contact area between the rib 111 and the sealing ring 120, and can achieve a better sealing effect.

[0081] For example, when the sealing ring 120 is in a natural state without deformation, the distance between the two side walls 121 of the sealing ring 120 is smaller than the dimension of the rib 111 along the length direction D1 of the connector 110. In this way, when the sealing ring 120 is sleeved on the outside of the connector 110, the rib 111 and the sealing groove 120a of the sealing ring 120 are ensured to be interference-fitted, so as to improve the sealing performance of the sealing ring 120 and the connector 110.

[0082] For example, when the sealing ring 120 is in a natural state without deformation, the inner diameter of the connecting wall 122 of the sealing ring 120 is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the convex rib 111. Therefore, when the sealing ring 120 is installed to the convex rib 111, the sealing groove 120a of the sealing ring 120 is interference-fitted with the outer peripheral surface of the convex rib 111, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the sealing ring 120 and the convex rib 111.

[0083] See also Figures 1 to 8 The utility model further provides a controller 100. The controller 100 may include the above-mentioned connector assembly.

[0084] According to the controller 100 of the present invention, by applying the above-mentioned connector assembly, not only the assembly efficiency of the controller 100 can be improved, but also the sealing performance of the controller 100 can be improved.

[0085] Continue reading Figures 1 to 8In addition, the controller 100 may further include a first shell 130 and a second shell 140. The first shell 130 includes a first mounting portion 131 and a first groove 132 formed at the first mounting portion 131. The second shell 140 is connected to the first shell 130 to enclose a accommodating space 100a. The second shell 140 includes a second mounting portion 141 and a second groove 142 formed at the second mounting portion 141. The first mounting portion 131 and the second mounting portion 141 enclose a mounting hole (not shown). The mounting hole is connected to the accommodating space 100a and the outside world. The outside world here can be understood as the outside of the first shell 130 and the second shell 140. Among them, the mounting hole is suitable for penetrating a connector assembly. When the connector assembly is penetrated in the mounting hole, the sealing protrusion 120b is sealed and connected to the first groove 132 and the second groove 142. After the connector assembly with the sealing ring 120 is assembled to the mounting hole, the rib 111 is engaged and sealed with the first groove 132 through the sealing protrusion 120b of the sealing ring 120, and the rib 111 is engaged and sealed with the second groove 142 through the sealing protrusion 120b of the sealing ring 120, thereby achieving sealing between the first shell 130, the second shell 140 and the connector assembly, thereby preventing external foreign matter such as dust and water from entering the accommodating space 100a through the mounting hole and the connector assembly.

[0086] See also Figures 1 to 8 For example, the first housing 130 is a bottom housing. The second housing 140 is an upper cover. That is, the first housing 130 is connected to the lower part of the second housing 140 in the height direction D3. A receiving groove 133 is formed on the surface of the bottom housing that is suitable for facing the upper cover. The upper cover is connected to the bottom housing at the notch of the receiving groove 133 to enclose the above-mentioned receiving space 100a between the upper cover and the bottom housing. The receiving space 100a is suitable for accommodating electrical components or devices such as a PCBA circuit board 150. The first mounting portion 131 can be configured as a mounting groove on the bottom housing. The groove wall of the mounting groove is adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the connector assembly. The first groove 132 is provided in the groove wall of the mounting groove. The second mounting portion 141 can be a shallow groove structure provided on the upper cover, or it can be a structure flush with the surface of the rest of the upper cover. When assembling the connector assembly, the connector assembly can be first assembled together with the PCBA circuit board 150 on the bottom housing, and then the upper cover can be fastened to the bottom housing by fasteners.

[0087] In other examples, the first housing 130 is located above the second housing 140 in the height direction D3 .

[0088] See also Figures 1 to 8For example, the connector assembly may include a connector 110. The connector 110 has a first end 112 and a second end 113 along its own length direction D1. The first end 112 is closer to the accommodating space 100a than the second end 113. At least one of the first shell 130 and the second shell 140 may include a protective rib 134. The protective rib 134 is located on the side of the first end 112 of the connector 110. The protective rib 134 abuts against the side or circumferential outer surface of the first end 112 of the connector 110. The protective rib 134 may include an abutting surface 134a. The abutting surface 134a abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the connector 110 along a direction intersecting with the length direction D1 of the connector 110 to prevent the connector 110 from moving along a direction intersecting with the length direction D1 of the connector 110. In other words, the abutment surface 134a may be against the side or circumferential outer surface of the first end 112 of the connector 110 to support or even wrap the connector 110, thereby preventing the second end 113 of the connector 110 from turning outward or deforming when the connector 110 is subjected to external force.

[0089] See also Figures 1 to 8 For example, the first shell 130 is connected to the second shell 140 along the height direction D3. The first shell 130 and the second shell 140 may each include a plurality of protective ribs 134. The plurality of protective ribs 134 are distributed at least on both sides of the lateral direction D2 of the connector 110. The abutment surface 134a is inclined to the lateral direction D2 and the height direction D3. The height direction D3 here is the overall height direction of the controller 100. Any two of the length direction D1, the lateral direction D2, and the height direction D3 of the connector 110 are perpendicular to each other.

[0090] In other examples not shown, the abutting surface 134a on the protective rib 134 may be a curved surface or a tortuous surface other than a plane. Accordingly, the shape of the protective rib 134 may also be other shapes, not limited to the shapes shown in the drawings of the present invention.

[0091] See also Figures 1 to 8 For example, when the connector assembly is installed in the mounting hole, the protective rib 134 is closer to the first end 112 than to the second end 113 in the length direction D1 of the connector 110. In this way, the connector 110 can be supported and limited at the first end 112 of the connector 110 to prevent the connector assembly from tilting or deflecting when a force is applied along the length direction D1 intersecting the connector 110, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the connector assembly and the first shell 130 and the second shell 140.

[0092] See also Figures 1 to 8For example, the controller 100 may include at least two connector assemblies. The at least two connector assemblies are arranged at intervals on the circumference of the first housing 130. By providing more connector assemblies, the use scenarios of the controller 100 can be improved.

[0093] Furthermore, adjacent sealing rings 120 in at least two connector assemblies are connected as one. By connecting some sealing rings 120 as one, the number of parts can be effectively reduced, the product structure can be simplified, and the continuity of the sealing structure and the reliability of the sealing can be improved.

[0094] exist Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 In the example shown, the controller 100 includes four connector components. The four connector components are divided into two groups of connector components. The two groups of connector components are spaced and arranged relative to each other in the width direction or the length direction of the controller. Each group of connector components includes two connector components. The two connector components belonging to the same group of connector components are oriented in the same direction.

[0095] In addition, the controller 100 may further include a sealing strip (not shown). The sealing strip is located between the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 that are sealed and connected to the controller, and is located at a position where no mounting hole is provided. In the case where the controller 100 is provided with only one connector assembly, the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 of the controller 100 form a mounting hole. The sealing strip is located at a position outside the mounting hole. In the case where the controller 100 is provided with two or more connector assemblies, the sealing strip is located at a position between adjacent mounting holes. In other words, the sealing strip is staggered with the mounting hole. By providing a sealing strip, it is possible to more conveniently achieve sealing of the portion of the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 where the connector assembly is not arranged, so that the gap between the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 can be sealed by the sealing strip and the sealing ring 120 together, so as to achieve the purpose of completely sealing the gap between the first housing 130 and the second housing 140. Compared with the traditional technical means of using a dispensing method to achieve sealing, the present technical solution is more convenient and reliable, and has higher assembly efficiency.

[0096] See also Figures 1 to 8, the connector assembly of the utility model can be assembled by using a sealing ring 120 sleeved on the outer periphery of the connector 110. The connector assembly is sealed by the interference fit between the sealing ring 120 and the first shell 130 and the second shell 140 of the controller, thereby achieving waterproof and dustproof effects, which can effectively improve the sealing reliability, prevent sealing failure, and increase the service life of the controller. Compared with the dispensing process in the related art, the silicone rubber sealing ring 120 does not require a complex dispensing process. This solution only needs to assemble the sealing ring 120 on the controller to solve the sealing problem. If it is easier to restore during the maintenance process. Compared with the sealant dispensing process, the use of the sealing ring 120 has the advantages of lower risk, lower cost and higher reliability. By setting a sealing groove 120a on the inner circumference of the sealing ring 120, it can be effectively attached to the rib 111 of the connector 110 of the connector assembly, preventing the sealing ring 120 from moving forward and backward relative to the connector 110 along the length direction D1 after installation, and playing a role in limiting the sealing ring 120. In this way, the sealing ring 120 can be assembled independently. Compared with the related art in which the sealing ring 120 is installed in the groove of the controller, the sealing ring 120 is installed on the connector 110 of the connector assembly through the sealing groove 120a, which has higher stability. By designing the protective ribs 134 on the first shell 130 and / or the second shell 140 of the controller 100, the connector assembly can be prevented from cracking and deforming after a mechanical withstand voltage test or collision with external forces. In other words, the connector assembly can be prevented from breaking and failing due to external forces, thereby protecting the PCBA circuit board 150. The protective ribs 134 are used to protect the connector assembly from external forces, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0097] In summary, the controller 100 according to the present invention may include a first housing 130, a second housing 140, a connector 110, a PCBA circuit board 150, and a sealing ring 120. Figures 1 to 8 , the assembly process of the controller 100 may include:

[0098] First, more than one connector 110 and PCBA circuit board 150 are wave soldered together; the sealing ring 120 is matched with a corresponding number of connectors 110 for assembly. Here, the sealing ring 120 and the connector 110 are assembled by the matching of the sealing groove 120a and the convex rib 111 to prevent the sealing ring 120 from moving forward and backward relative to the connector 110.

[0099] Then, the assembly of the connector 110, the PCBA circuit board 150 and the sealing ring 120 is assembled in the first housing 130. The first housing 130 may be provided with positioning posts and screw holes. The PCBA circuit board 150 may be fixed to the first housing 130 by four or more screws. The sealing ring 120 is embedded in the first groove 132 matched with the first housing 130, and the sealing is performed by the interference compression of the sealing ring 120, and can prevent water vapor and dust from entering the controller during the driving of the vehicle.

[0100] Then, the first housing 130 is installed on the second housing 140 and fixed with screws.

[0101] Finally, the second housing 140 and the first housing 130 are fastened together by screws.

[0102] Among them, the terminals of the connector 110 are used to connect with the wiring harness for signal transmission. The first housing 130 and the second housing 140 serve as a protective carrier for the PCBA circuit board 150. The sealing ring 120 is sleeved on the connector 110 by designing the sealing groove 120a and the convex rib 111 of the connector 110 to prevent the movement and deformation of the sealing ring 120, and can form a sealing mating surface between the connector 110 and the first housing 130 and the second housing 140 of the controller, thereby achieving a waterproof and dustproof effect, which can effectively improve the sealing reliability, prevent sealing failure, and improve the service life of the controller. The first housing 130 and / or the second housing 140 of the controller are provided with a protective rib 134. The protective rib 134 is used to prevent the connector 110 from cracking and deforming due to collision during the driving of the vehicle. When the connector 110 is in the installation state installed on the controller, the protective rib 134 on the controller can protect the connector 110, prevent the connector 110 from warping relative to the circuit board 150, thereby protecting the circuit board 150 and the components located on the circuit board 150 from damage or preventing the electrical connection from being interrupted. The protective ribs 134 support or abut the suspended part of the connector 110. This arrangement can prevent the part of the connector 110 installed in the controller from forming a cantilever structure, and prevent the local stress from being too large and causing failure when the connector 110 is subjected to vertical shear force. The protective ribs 134 can also absorb the harmful impact force caused by vibration, solve the problem that the connector 110 is prone to signal loss under vibration conditions, and play a good protective role for the connector 110 under vibration conditions.

[0103] The utility model further provides a vehicle, which may include the controller 100 described above.

[0104] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by applying the above-mentioned controller 100, when the controller 100 is used for controlling the vehicle-mounted drone hangar, the stability of the control of the vehicle-mounted drone hangar can be improved.
