Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle computer systems, and in particular to an integrated controller, a control component and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the rise of new energy vehicles and the widespread application of Internet technology in vehicles, the integration of automotive domain controllers is becoming increasingly higher, and it is becoming more and more common for T-BOX (Telematic BOX, telematics processor) and cockpit controller to be combined into one. Due to high heat consumption, the cockpit controller needs to be made into a metal shell with good thermal conductivity for heat dissipation, and the T-BOX needs to have a nickel-hydrogen battery as a power source to ensure communication or collect data when the vehicle fails. The battery needs to avoid direct contact with rigid shells such as metal, otherwise there will be a risk of loose fixation or wear and leakage.

[0003] The common integrated design at present is to make a battery cavity directly on the metal shell of the controller, wrap the battery with foam, and fix the battery through interference fit between the cover plate, cavity and other structures and the foam. Although this kind of design can avoid direct contact between the battery and the metal shell, thereby avoiding collision and wear of the battery, the battery cavity is formed by the metal shell, and the thermal conductivity of the metal shell is high. The battery and foam are very easy to expand due to heat, which will cause damage and failure of the battery. Utility Model Content
