Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive electro-hydraulic braking chassis, in particular to a coil assembly for electro-hydraulic braking function. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization and development of automobiles, the safety performance of automobiles has become an important consideration in the development of automobiles. The research on automobile chassis is extremely important. As the brain of the automobile chassis system, the ECU is responsible for receiving signals and transmitting the signals to the HCU for braking. Among them, the electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field after being energized, converts electrical energy into magnetic energy, and controls the on-off of the solenoid valve to achieve different functions in different scenarios. It is an essential part of ESC (Electronic Stability Control). ESC (Electronic Stability Control System) can help avoid danger. When turning quickly or changing lanes, and the vehicle is extremely unstable, it compensates for the vehicle stability by controlling the wheel brakes or the engine torque.

[0003] With the development of automotive electrification, the noisy fuel engine is cancelled and replaced with a quieter drive motor. As a result, higher requirements are placed on the NVH effect of electro-hydraulic braking products such as ESC / ONE-BOX. In the assembly process of traditional coils, in order to better cooperate with the HCU and improve the quietness, under certain conditions, even a part of the electromagnetic force is sacrificed to ensure better cooperation with the HCU, which will lead to insufficient pressure reduction response.

[0004] The traditional ESC coil is welded on the PCBA board, and the internal moving area of the coil is limited. When the coil is welded to the PCBA board, it is difficult to change the position again. In a harsh environment, the unstable coil attitude will make the product unstable and other disadvantages. The biggest problem is that due to the limited gap, the assembly of the ECU coil and the HCU solenoid valve often gets stuck, affecting the assembly efficiency of the production line. As a result, most domestic manufacturers use manual assembly for the ECU and HCU assembly, making it difficult to improve the CT. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a coil assembly for electro-hydraulic braking function. A soft limit is provided between the coil housing and the main housing. When the solenoid valve is skewed, the ESC coil can be adjusted with the position of the solenoid valve. The hard limit can fix the assembly of the coil skeleton and the coil housing, making the assembly of the ESC coil within a reasonable range. The coil bottom plate is higher than the bushing surface, which can increase the contact area between the ESC coil and the HCU, enabling better cooperation between the ESC coil and the HCU. At the same time, the coil housing cooperates with the soft limit, having a good damping effect.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a coil assembly for a wire-controlled braking function, which includes a main housing.

[0009] Preferably, the second mounting groove cooperates with the positioning post, the third mounting groove cooperates with the protrusion, PIN1 and PIN2, and the fourth mounting groove cooperates with the solenoid valve.

[0010] Preferably, the solenoid valve cooperates with the inner side of the coil bobbin.

[0011] Preferably, the ESC coil is inversely welded on the PCBA board. A bushing surface is provided at the top of the main housing. The coil bottom plate of the ESC coil is higher than the bushing surface.

[0012] Therefore, the utility model adopts the above coil assembly for a wire-controlled braking function, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. PIN1 and PIN2 are fixedly connected to the coil housing and the main housing, and a soft limit is provided between the coil housing and the main housing. When the position of the solenoid valve is skewed, the ESC coil can float and adjust with the position of the solenoid valve;

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the present utility model provides a coil assembly for a wire control braking function, including a main housing 1. First mounting grooves 2 are arranged staggeredly on the main housing 1. A second mounting groove 3 is provided at the bottom of the first mounting groove 2. A third mounting groove 4 is provided on one side of the second mounting groove 3. A fourth mounting groove 5, two soft limits 6 and two hard limits 7 are provided between the second mounting groove 3 and the third mounting groove 4. The two soft limits 6 and the two hard limits 7 are respectively located on both sides of the fourth mounting groove 5. The first mounting groove 2, the second mounting groove 3, the third mounting groove 4 and the fourth mounting groove 5 provide space for the installation of the ESC coil and the solenoid valve 13. The hard limit 7 and the soft limit 6 can limit the ESC coil. The soft limit 6 is higher than the hard limit 7 to achieve a shock absorption function, so that the ESC coil can provide electromagnetic force well in any posture.

[0029] The main housing 1 is connected to the ESC coil. The ESC coil is inverted and welded on the PCBA board, that is, PIN1 and PIN2 are fixedly connected to the coil housing 9 and the main housing 1. When the position of the solenoid valve 13 is skewed, the ESC coil can float and adjust with the electromagnetic position. The ESC coil includes a coil housing 9. A coil bottom plate 10 is provided at the bottom of the coil housing 9. The coil housing 9 and the coil bottom plate 10 protect the enameled wire and provide a good electrical insulation environment to protect the enameled wire from the influence of the external environment.

[0030] The top of the coil base plate 10 is provided with a coil bobbin 11, on which an enameled wire is wound. The coil bobbin 11 provides support for the enameled wire wound on the coil, ensuring that the enameled wire can maintain a predetermined shape and position. On one side of the top of the coil bobbin 11, a positioning post 12 is fixed. The top of the positioning post 12 is provided with a chamfer of R0.5. On the other side of the top, a protrusion is fixed, and PIN1 and PIN2 are connected to the protrusion. The positioning post 12 has a guiding function, which can ensure that PIN1 and PIN2 are maintained in a fixed spatial position, and PIN1 and PIN2 are used for signal transmission.

[0031] A first gap 14 is provided axially between the coil bobbin 11 and the coil housing 9, and a second gap 15 is provided radially. The provision of the first gap 14 and the second gap 15 between the coil bobbin 11 and the coil housing 9 can ensure that the coil bobbin 11 has a certain activity area, which can better cooperate with the solenoid valve 13 during assembly. When there is an assembly error in the solenoid valve 13, the error can be corrected through the mutual cooperation of the first gap 14 and the second gap 15. At the same time, it is ensured that the ESC coil can provide sufficient electromagnetic force to control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 13 under any harsh working conditions, ensuring the function of the ESC coil.

[0032] The second installation groove 3 cooperates with the positioning post 12, the third installation groove 4 cooperates with the protrusion, PIN1 and PIN2, and the fourth installation groove 5 cooperates with the solenoid valve 13, which can ensure the assembly accuracy and facilitate the welding of the ESC coil to the PCBA board. The solenoid valve 13 cooperates with the inner side of the coil bobbin 11, and the ESC coil generates electromagnetic force to control the movement of the spool of the solenoid valve 13, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the valve.

[0033] The top of the main housing 1 is provided with a bushing surface 8, and the coil base plate 10 of the ESC coil is higher than the bushing surface 8. The higher part can make there be a certain interference amount between the HCU surface and the coil base plate 10, making the contact between the HCU and the coil closer.

[0034] When using a coil assembly for a wire-controlled braking function provided by the present utility model, first wind the enameled wire on the coil bobbin 11, then install the coil housing 9 and the coil base plate 10, and install PIN1 and PIN2 on the coil bobbin 11. After installation, install the ESC coil on the main housing 1 in the reverse direction, so that the top of the coil housing 9 cooperates with the soft limit 6 and the hard limit 7 to ensure the assembly accuracy and realize the shock absorption function. Then weld PIN1 and PIN2 to the PCBA board to facilitate signal transmission.

[0035] Therefore, the coil assembly with the above-mentioned line control function is adopted in the present utility model. A soft limit is provided between the coil housing and the main housing. When the solenoid valve is skewed, the ESC coil can be adjusted along with the position of the solenoid valve. The hard limit can fix the assembly of the coil skeleton and the coil housing, so that the assembly of the ESC coil is within a reasonable range. The coil bottom plate being higher than the bushing surface can increase the contact area between the ESC coil and the HCU, enabling better cooperation between the ESC coil and the HCU. At the same time, the coil housing cooperates with the soft limit, having a good shock absorption effect.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and are not intended to limit them. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present utility model, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present utility model.
