Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of controller installation structures, and particularly relates to a controller installation structure in the form of a snap ring. Background Art
[0002] In the trend of the rapid development of the automotive industry, the intelligent thermal management system is particularly crucial. This system combines advanced sensor networks, complex control algorithms, and efficient communication protocols, aiming to achieve refined management of the vehicle temperature to keep key components of the vehicle within a more reasonable operating temperature range.
[0003] Firstly, the intelligent thermal management system uses a series of high-precision sensing devices, such as thermocouples, infrared sensors, and pressure and humidity sensors, to achieve comprehensive monitoring of the vehicle environment. These sensors accurately measure the temperature distribution of each unit, ensuring the uniformity of the temperature of each part, thereby preventing the negative impact of local overheating or uneven heating on the vehicle performance. Some leading intelligent thermal management systems adopt adaptive and machine learning technologies and can self-optimize based on long-term operation data. These systems continuously learn and adjust their parameters to adapt to different usage patterns and environmental conditions, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency and performance.
[0004] In addition, an important feature of the intelligent thermal management system is its high integration with other key systems of the vehicle. Through vehicle communication networks, such as Controller Area Network or In-Vehicle Ethernet, the ITMS can exchange data with the powertrain control unit, battery management system, etc., forming a multi-system consortium that works together. This integration not only improves the energy efficiency of the whole vehicle but also optimizes the user's driving experience.
[0005] For example, in a class of existing technologies represented by the controller installation structure disclosed in the utility model patent with the application number 202321915967.3, its main structure includes a motor, an inlet hole, an outlet hole, an air intake grille, a mounting cover, a circuit board, etc., and the installation of the controller is achieved through
[0006] the cooperation of structures such as the motor, the inlet hole, the outlet hole, the air intake grille, the mounting cover, and the circuit board.
[0007] In the traditional controller installation structure, it is difficult to make the upper and lower shells connect tightly until the sealant is completely cured. Moreover, the traditional controller installation structure uses conventional screw connections, resulting in low production efficiency and possible gaps in the connection between the upper / lower shells.

On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present utility model more thorough and comprehensive.
[0023] Embodiment 1
[0024] A controller installation structure in the form of a retaining ring includes a plurality of retaining rings 01; it also includes an upper housing 02, a lower housing 03 and a sealant 04. The upper housing 02 is located above the lower housing 03. The plurality of retaining rings 01 are respectively clamped on the surfaces of the upper housing 02 and the lower housing 03, and the sealant 04 is installed inside the upper housing 02 and the lower housing 03;
[0025] The lower housing 03 pre-installs a plurality of retaining rings 01, and sealant is applied in the grooves. After the retaining rings 01 are tightened, the plurality of retaining rings 01 pre-installed on the lower housing 03 are turned inward by about 90° and clamped at the card slots of the upper housing 02, so that the upper housing 02 and the lower housing 03 are tightly connected. Wait for the sealant 04 to completely cure. The card slot structure of the upper housing 02 is designed with higher sides and lower in the middle, so that the plurality of retaining rings 01 are more firmly fixed and not easily fall off after being fixed. This mechanism installation structure is simple and reliable, and has higher production efficiency compared with conventional screw connections. Compared with bayonet connections, the upper housing 02 and the lower housing 03 are more tightly connected, which can better protect the complete curing of the sealant and improve the practicality of the equipment;
[0026] A plurality of retaining ring bends 11 are respectively provided on the plurality of retaining rings 01; the vertical sides of the plurality of retaining rings 01 adopt an angled design, making it easier to deform during assembly;
[0027] An overly long lateral spacing leads to permanent deformation and creep of the material. The bent design can greatly improve the strength and anti-deformation ability, providing an effective length for deformation during the assembly process. If it is a straight edge, the interference deformation during assembly may cause permanent deformation, resulting in a decrease in the clamping force or even inability to clamp tightly, improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0028] Embodiment 2
[0029] On the basis of Embodiment 1, it further includes an upper housing 02. A plurality of buckles 21 are provided at the top of the upper housing 02, and the plurality of buckles 21 are respectively designed with higher sides and lower in the middle; it also includes a lower housing 03. Screws 31 fixedly install the PCBA 32 on the lower housing 03. A plurality of bayonets are provided at the bottom of the lower housing 03; it also includes a sealant 04. There will be a gap at the mating part of the upper housing 02 and the lower housing 03, and the sealant 04 is applied in the gap;
[0030] The main function of the upper housing 02 is to cooperate with the lower housing, apply sealant 04 at the joint, and form a sealed, clean, and moisture-free space. Multiple buckles 21 make multiple retaining rings 01 more secure and less likely to fall off after being fixed. Multiple bayonets at the bottom of the lower housing 03 prevent multiple retaining rings 01 from slipping out of the lower housing. The lower housing 03, upper housing 02, and sealant 04 cooperate to provide a clean and sealed space environment for the PCBA 32. Made of aluminum alloy, it has many heat dissipation fins on it, with good thermal conductivity, which can quickly dissipate the heat of the PCBA 32 and prevent component damage caused by excessive temperature. If it is soaked in water or in humid weather, water may enter the controller cavity through the gaps.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, for a controller installation structure in the form of a retaining ring of the present utility model, during operation, first, an overly long horizontal spacing may cause permanent deformation and creep of the material. The curved design can greatly improve the strength and anti-deformation ability and provide an effective length for deformation during the assembly process. If it is a straight edge, the interference deformation during assembly may cause permanent deformation, resulting in a reduced clamping force or even failure to clamp tightly. Then, the main function of the upper housing 02 is to cooperate with the lower housing, apply sealant 04 at the joint, and form a sealed, clean, and moisture-free space. Multiple buckles 21 make multiple retaining rings 01 more secure and less likely to fall off after being fixed. Then, multiple bayonets at the bottom of the lower housing 03 prevent multiple retaining rings 01 from slipping out of the lower housing. The lower housing 03, upper housing 02, and sealant 04 cooperate to provide a clean and sealed space environment for the PCBA 32. Made of aluminum alloy, it has many heat dissipation fins on it, with good thermal conductivity, which can quickly dissipate the heat of the PCBA 32 and prevent component damage caused by excessive temperature. Finally, if it is soaked in water or in humid weather, water may enter the controller cavity through the gaps. The main function of the sealant is to seal the gaps and ensure a clean environment in the controller cavity, improving the practicality of the device.
