Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted controllers, and particularly relates to a controller and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, the automotive market pays more and more attention to the experience of automotive end-users, and the functional requirements of vehicle-mounted controllers are becoming increasingly rich. With the increasing of functional requirements, the attention to the protection level and structural stability of vehicle-mounted controllers is getting higher and higher. When the vehicle is driving in a harsh environment, the sealing performance and stability of the controller will be tested. Therefore, in order to meet the vehicle specification requirements, it is necessary to optimize the structural design.

[0003] However, most of the vehicle-mounted controllers in the current automotive market have low requirements for the protection level. Even a few vehicle-mounted controllers have no requirements for the protection level. For controllers with low requirements for the protection level, most of them adopt a waterproof ring for sealing design. However, in a harsh environment, this kind of sealing cannot meet the requirements of the vehicle-mounted controller for the structural protection level, thus greatly reducing the stability of the vehicle-mounted controller and shortening the service life of the vehicle-mounted controller.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a controller and a vehicle to solve the problems existing in the prior art to a certain extent. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a controller and a vehicle to optimize the structure of the vehicle-mounted controller to a certain extent, improve the waterproof ability, and avoid the problem that the controller is damaged due to water seepage when the vehicle is driving in a harsh environment.

[0006] A controller provided by the utility model comprises an upper shell, a lower shell and a control component; a first accommodating part is formed on a first side of the upper shell, sealant is filled in the first accommodating part, a first position of the control component corresponds to the first accommodating part, and the sealant is compressed to form a seal; a second accommodating part is formed on a side of the first position of the control component away from the first accommodating part, a third accommodating part is formed on the edge of the upper shell, the third accommodating part and the second accommodating part are communicated to form an annular accommodating groove, a matching part is formed on the lower shell corresponding to the accommodating groove, sealant is filled in the accommodating groove, and the matching part enters the accommodating groove to compress the sealant to form a seal.

[0007] Wherein, the control component comprises a control board and a connector, one end of the control board is connected to one end of the connector, and the connection position of the control board and the connector is the first position.

[0008] Specifically, the first receiving portion, the second receiving portion, and the third receiving portion are all in a concave-shaped structure, and the fitting portion is in a convex-shaped structure.

[0009] Further, the cross-section of the protrusion of the fitting portion is in a conical structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the widths of the grooves formed by the first receiving portion, the second receiving portion, and the third receiving portion are all 3 mm, and the depths are all 2 mm.

[0011] Among them, the controller provided by the present utility model further includes a breather valve. The upper housing and the lower housing are buckled to form a receiving space. An installation groove is formed on the upper housing. The installation groove is recessed into the receiving space. The breather valve is disposed in the installation groove, and a communication hole is formed in the installation groove to connect the breather valve with the receiving space.

[0012] Specifically, the controller provided by the present utility model further includes a fastener. A plurality of positioning holes are formed at the edge of the upper housing. The plurality of positioning holes are distributed along the circumferential direction of the upper housing. A perforation is formed at the position of the control board corresponding to the positioning holes. A counterposition hole is formed at the position of the lower housing corresponding to the perforation. The fastener passes through the counterposition hole and the perforation and enters the positioning hole to press the control board by the lower housing and connect with the upper housing.

[0013] Further, the fastener includes a fastening main body and an outer covering layer. The outer covering layer is formed on the outside of the fastening main body, and a thread is formed on the outer wall surface of the outer covering layer. The positioning hole is a screw hole, and the fastener is in threaded fit with the positioning hole.

[0014] Furthermore, a retaining portion is formed at the edge of the upper housing and along the circumferential direction of the upper housing. The height of the retaining portion is not less than the height after the lower housing is connected to the upper housing.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the controller provided by the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] The controller provided by the present utility model includes an upper housing, a lower housing, and a control component. A first receiving portion is formed on the first side of the upper housing. A sealing glue is injected into the first receiving portion. The first position of the control component corresponds to the first receiving portion, and the sealing glue is compressed to form a seal.

[0035] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the present utility model provides a controller, which includes an upper housing 1, a lower housing 2, and a control component; a first accommodation portion 101 is formed on a first side of the upper housing 1, sealant is filled in the first accommodation portion 101, a first position of the control component corresponds to the first accommodation portion 101, and the sealant is compressed to form a seal; a second accommodation portion 5 is formed on a side of the first position of the control component facing away from the first accommodation portion 101, a third accommodation portion 102 is formed on an edge of the upper housing 1, the third accommodation portion 102 and the second accommodation portion 5 communicate with each other to form an annular accommodation groove, a mating portion 202 is formed at a position of the lower housing 2 corresponding to the accommodation groove, sealant is filled in the accommodation groove, and the mating portion 202 enters the accommodation groove to compress the sealant to form a seal.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the controller provided by the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0037] The controller provided by the present utility model forms a first accommodating portion 101 through the first side of the upper housing 1. Thus, by injecting sealant into the first accommodating portion 101 and making the first position of the control component correspond to the first accommodating portion 101, the sealant can be extruded to form a seal between the upper housing 1 and one side of the first position of the control component.

[0038] By forming a second accommodating portion 5 on the side of the first position of the control component that faces away from the first accommodating portion 101, and forming a third accommodating portion 102 communicating with the second accommodating portion 5 on the other edges of the upper housing 1 except the first side, an accommodating groove for injecting sealant can be formed. In this application, by forming a mating portion 202 at the position of the lower housing 2 corresponding to the accommodating groove, the mating portion 202 can be inserted into the accommodating groove to compress the sealant, thereby achieving the seal between the lower housing 2, the upper housing 1, and the control component, and further improving the waterproof ability of the controller to a certain extent, avoiding the problem of water seepage and leakage when the vehicle is driving in a harsh environment, which may cause damage to the controller.

[0039] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the control component in this application includes a control board 3 and a connector 4. One end of the control board 3 is connected to one end of the connector 4, and the connection position of the control board 3 and the connector 4 is the first position.

[0040] The connector 4 is used to connect the connection head structure of the vehicle to achieve the transmission of signals, power, etc. Therefore, the connection end of the connection head needs to be exposed outside the accommodating space formed by the buckling of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. And the connector 4 is also connected to the control board 3. Therefore, the connection position of the connector 4 and the control board 3 needs to be sealed. Thus, the above-mentioned first position in this application is the connection position of the connector 4 and the control board 3.

[0041] By forming the second accommodating portion 5 at the connection position, it can cooperate with the third accommodating portion 102 of the upper housing 1 to form an annular accommodating groove to carry the sealant and achieve the seal between the lower housing 2, the upper housing 1, and the control board 3.

[0042] Optionally, as Figure 2 Combined with Figure 3 shown, the first accommodating portion 101, the second accommodating portion 5, and the third accommodating portion 102 in this application are all concave-shaped structures, and the mating portion 202 is a convex-shaped structure.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, since the upper housing 1 in this application needs to carry the connector 4, a recessed portion is formed at the position of the upper housing 1 corresponding to the connector 4, so that the connector 4 can be embedded in the recessed portion, and further the second accommodating portion 5 formed at the first position can communicate with the third accommodating portion 102.

[0044] Accordingly, the first accommodating portion 101 is formed on the bottom side of the recessed portion. During assembly, sealant is first injected into the first accommodating portion 101, and then the connected connector 4 and the controller are correspondingly installed, so that the first position between the connector 4 and the controller corresponds to the first accommodating portion 101, and the sealant is squeezed, thereby realizing the sealing of the docking position between the control assembly and the upper housing 1.

[0045] After that, by filling sealant into the second accommodating portion 5 and the third accommodating portion 102, and finally installing the mating portion 202 of the lower housing 2 corresponding to the accommodating groove, the sealant in the accommodating groove can be squeezed, realizing the sealed connection between the lower housing 2 and the upper housing 1 and between the first positions of the lower housing 2 corresponding to the control assembly.

[0046] Preferably, as Figure 3 shown, the cross-section of the protrusion of the mating portion 202 in the present application is in a conical structure.

[0047] Since a small amount of sealant will overflow from the second accommodating portion 5 and the third accommodating portion 102 after the mating portion 202 in the present application is correspondingly inserted into the second accommodating portion 5 and the third accommodating portion 102, therefore, by making the cross-section of the protrusion of the mating portion 202 conical, on the one hand, it can guide the sealant so that the sealant can overflow from the second accommodating portion 5 and the third accommodating portion 102, and on the other hand, the conical mating portion 202 can also ensure that there is sufficient clearance between the mating portion 202 and the second accommodating portion 5 and the third accommodating portion 102, so as to ensure that there is sufficient sealant in the clearance for sealing to ensure the sealing effect.

[0048] It should be supplemented and explained here that the cross-section of the protrusion of the mating portion 202 in the present application being conical is only a preferred implementation manner, and the cross-section of the protrusion of the mating portion 202 can also be rectangular or other forms, as long as it can ensure that the form of the mating portion 202 and the second accommodating portion 5 and the third accommodating portion 102 can retain sealant in the gap.

[0049] Further preferably, the widths of the grooves formed by the first accommodating portion 101, the second accommodating portion 5, and the third accommodating portion 102 in the present application are all 3 mm, and the depths are all 2 mm.

[0050] By the width of the formed groove being 3 mm and the depth being 2 mm, sufficient sealant can be contained, thereby ensuring the sealing performance between the first accommodating portion 101 and the first position of the control assembly and between the second accommodating portion 5 and the third accommodating portion 102 and the lower housing 2, and ensuring the waterproof effect.

[0051] Optionally, as Figure 1As shown, the controller provided by the present utility model further includes a ventilation valve 6. The upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are snapped together to form an accommodation space. An installation groove 105 is formed on the upper housing 1. The installation groove 105 is recessed into the accommodation space. The ventilation valve 6 is disposed in the installation groove 105, and a communication hole 1051 is formed in the installation groove 105 to connect the ventilation valve 6 with the accommodation space.

[0052] The ventilation valve 6 in this application is a waterproof ventilation valve 6 and has a one-way valve body structure. By forming the installation groove 105 on the upper housing 1 and forming the communication hole 1051 capable of communicating with the accommodation space on the installation groove 105, after the ventilation valve 6 is installed in the installation groove 105, the ventilation valve 6 can be connected to the accommodation space, and then the accommodation space can be connected to the external environment through the ventilation valve 6. When there is humid air in the accommodation space, it can be discharged in time. Since the ventilation valve 6 in this application is a one-way valve body, the humid air or moisture in the external environment cannot enter the accommodation space, thus ensuring the waterproof performance and ventilation performance of the overall structure.

[0053] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the controller provided by the present utility model further includes a fastener 7. A plurality of positioning holes 104 are formed at the edge of the upper housing 1. The plurality of positioning holes 104 are distributed along the circumference of the upper housing 1. The control board 3 is formed with through holes corresponding to the positions of the positioning holes 104, and the lower housing 2 is formed with alignment holes 201 corresponding to the positions of the through holes. The fastener 7 passes through the alignment holes 201 and the through holes and enters the positioning holes 104 to press the lower housing 2 against the control board 3 and connect it to the upper housing 1.

[0054] Through the positioning holes 104 formed on the upper housing 1, the through holes formed on the control board 3 corresponding to the positions of the positioning holes 104, and the alignment holes 201 formed on the lower housing 2 corresponding to the positions of the through holes, the fastener 7 can pass through and finally enter the positioning holes 104 to achieve a stable connection between the lower housing 2, the control board 3 and the upper housing 1.

[0055] It can be understood that through the fastener 7, the pressing force between the lower housing 2, the control board 3 and the lower housing 2 can be further increased, thereby further improving the sealing degree and ensuring the waterproof performance.

[0056] Preferably, the fastener 7 in this application includes a fastening body and an outer coating. The outer coating is formed on the outside of the fastening body, and the outer wall surface of the outer coating is formed with threads. The positioning hole 104 is a threaded hole, and the fastener 7 is in threaded cooperation with the positioning hole 104.

[0057] Optionally, as Figure 2 Combined with Figure 3As shown, the edge of the upper shell 1 in the present application is provided with a blocking portion 103 along the circumference of the upper shell 1 , and the height of the blocking portion 103 is not less than the height after the lower shell 2 is connected to the upper shell 1 .

[0058] The formed blocking portion 103 can cooperate with the third matching portion 202 of the upper shell 1 to form a positioning space, thereby achieving stable positioning of the lower shell 2 and accelerating the alignment speed and positioning accuracy between the lower shell 2 and the upper shell 1.

[0059] In addition, the utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned controller.

[0060] The vehicle using the controller provided by the present application can, to a certain extent, ensure the stability of the vehicle when driving in harsh environments and improve the user experience because the controller has better waterproof performance.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
