Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile parts, in particular to an anti-static heat dissipation ECU device installed with a double-layer rear cover. Background Art

[0002] The back cover plays a crucial role in the IBCU. First, it provides waterproof and dustproof protection, effectively protecting the ECU housing and PCBA, ensuring that the device's internal components are protected from external environmental influences. Second, the back cover is rigidly connected to the electrostatic springs on the PCBA, generating static electricity that forms an electrostatic shield with the entire back cover, thereby protecting the electronic components on the PCBA from interference from external electric fields. Finally, the back cover provides a location for heat dissipation silicone rubber, which dissipates heat from critical components and ensures their proper function. Therefore, the back cover plays a vital role in maintaining the stability and reliability of the IBCU.

[0003] In IBCU back cover design, creating an electrostatic shield and dissipating heat often conflict. During operation, the entire back cover may be charged with static electricity. If it's too close to the PCBA, this static electricity can directly affect the proper functioning of key components and even risk damaging them through air. Furthermore, the PCBA contains numerous ping pins, which can penetrate the back cover if placed too close to the back cover. Therefore, the gap between the back cover and the PCBA must be greater than a safe distance. To effectively dissipate heat, a certain distance must be maintained between the heat-dissipating silicone and key components.

[0004] In automotive rear-hood design, electrostatic interference (ESD) can have a particularly severe impact on key components, which themselves require effective heat dissipation. While striving to prevent ESD, ensuring component heat dissipation becomes a daunting challenge. Currently, more designs prioritize protecting components from ESD, which in turn makes heat dissipation a more prominent issue. More effective heat dissipation structures can be implemented, such as designing ventilation holes or adding fans or heat pipes. However, on a PCB with numerous components, these completely alter the original design layout, further increasing the board size and resulting in significant costs. Utility Model Content

[0033] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment includes a shell 1, an upper back cover 2 made of metal material and a lower back cover 3 made of insulating material, the upper end of the shell 1 is provided with an opening 4, and the circuit board is arranged in the shell 1; the upper back cover 2 is arranged at the opening 4 for sealing the opening 4, the lower back cover 3 is arranged between the shell 1 and the upper back cover 2, and the lower back cover 3 is provided with a heat dissipation silicone glue area on the side facing the inner cavity of the shell 1, the heat dissipation silicone glue area abuts against the components on the circuit board for heat dissipation, and the lower back cover 3 is provided with a through hole for an anti-static spring (not drawn in the drawing) connected to the circuit board to pass through, and the anti-static spring abuts against the upper back cover 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the back cover includes an upper back cover 2 made of metal material and a lower back cover 3 made of insulating material. The two back covers perform different functions. The upper back cover 2 is preferably made of aluminum material and is in direct contact with the electrostatic spring to achieve electromagnetic shielding to resist external interference. The lower back cover is made of insulating material and is specifically used to provide a heat dissipation silicone gluing area to dissipate heat from components. The upper back cover 2 is fixed with the shell 1, and the lower back cover 3 is firmly fixed by the cooperation and clamping of the upper back cover 2 and the shell 1, which effectively solves the contradiction between heat dissipation and anti-static interference of the traditional back cover and achieves better performance.

[0037] In this embodiment, the periphery of the upper back cover 2 is provided with an edge 5, the shape of the edge 5 matches the shape of the opening 4, and the edge 5 is sealed and fixedly connected to the periphery of the opening 4. The setting of the edge 5 can facilitate the connection between the upper back cover 2 and the shell 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, a sealing groove 6 is provided on the end face of the edge 5 facing the shell 1, and a protruding edge 7 matching the sealing groove 6 is provided around the opening 4. The protruding edge 7 is inserted into the sealing groove 6. The setting of the sealing groove 6 and the protruding edge 7 can facilitate the sealing and fixation of the upper back cover 2 and the shell 1, and improve the stability of the fixation.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 13 are evenly provided on the protruding edge 7, and the plurality of protrusions 13 abut against the inner wall of the sealing groove 6. The arrangement of the protrusions 13 can ensure that there is a certain gap between the top of the protruding edge 7 and the inner wall of the sealing groove 6 to accommodate the sealant, thereby avoiding excessive overflow of the sealant in the sealing groove 6 during press-fitting and dispensing, resulting in a loose connection and insufficient sealing.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lower back cover 3 has a plurality of bosses on the side facing the housing 1. These bosses are provided with the heat dissipation silicone adhesive area. The number of bosses is determined by the number of key heat dissipation components. The height of the bosses is determined by the height difference of the key components, effectively accommodating the height differences of different components and ensuring heat dissipation. If there are multiple key components requiring heat dissipation and the heights vary, a stamping process can be used to create multiple bosses, with the height of the bosses determined by the height difference of the key components.

[0041] In this embodiment, the side of the upper back cover 2 facing the housing 1 can be provided with reinforcing ribs to enhance its structural strength and accommodate a series of functions such as the label area.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment makes the following improvements on the basis of the embodiment 1: a peripheral side edge 11 extending toward the shell 1 is provided on the outer periphery of the edge 5, the peripheral side edge 11 is provided on the outside of the sealing groove 6, and the inner wall of the peripheral side edge 11 abuts the outer wall of the protruding edge 7, a plurality of card slots 8 are evenly spaced on the peripheral side edge 11, a plurality of fixed ribs 9 are provided on the periphery of the lower back cover 3, and the plurality of fixed ribs 9 are inserted into the card slots 8 in a one-to-one correspondence, a plurality of protruding ribs 10 are provided on the protruding edge 7, and the protruding ribs 10 are provided on the protruding edge 7. The protruding ribs 10 are inserted into the card slots 8 one by one and the fixed ribs 9 are pressed against the bottom of the card slots 8. The cooperation between the protruding ribs 10 and the card slots 8 realizes the pressing and fixing of the fixed ribs 9, thereby realizing the limited fixation of the lower back cover 3. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient. During the sealing process, the glue overflowing from the sealing groove 6 flows between the inner wall of the peripheral side 11 and the outer wall of the protruding edge 7, realizing the connection between the peripheral side 11 and the outer wall of the shell 1, thereby improving the connection strength and the sealing between the upper back cover 2 and the shell 1.

[0044] The arrangement of the protruding ribs 10, the fixed ribs 9 and the card slots 8 can achieve positioning between the upper back cover 2, the lower back cover 3 and the housing 1, facilitate assembly, and prevent loosening or displacement during use.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 12 corresponding to the card slot 8 is provided on the protruding edge 7, and the protruding rib 10 is provided on the outer wall of the protruding edge 7, and the top of the protruding rib 10 and the bottom of the limiting groove 12 are located in the same plane, and the fixed rib 9 is inserted into the limiting groove 12. The setting of the limiting groove 12 can further realize the limitation between the shell 1 and the upper back cover 2 through the fixed rib 9, which is convenient for installation.

[0046] In this embodiment, by modifying the depth of the card slot 8 and the height of the protruding rib 10, the height position of the lower back cover 3 can be flexibly controlled. The gap between the lower back cover 3 and the circuit board is determined by the height of the key components that need heat dissipation, and the gap can be ensured by modifying the height of the corresponding fixed rib 9.

[0047] During the dispensing process of the present invention, it is necessary to stay at the upper back cover 2 for some time. In the subsequent press-fitting, the sealant in the sealing groove 6 slides down along the limit groove 12 to achieve sealing at the limit groove 12. In addition, a special dispensing process can also be performed between the inner wall of the peripheral side 11 and the outer wall of the protruding edge 7.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] This embodiment makes the following improvements on the basis of the first embodiment: a support platform is provided on the inner wall of the edge 5, and a plurality of support ribs are evenly provided on the inner wall of the opening 4. The support ribs press the periphery of the lower back cover 3 against the support platform, and the lower back cover 3 is pressed against the support platform by the support ribs, thereby achieving the limiting fixation of the lower back cover 3, with a simple structure and easy installation.

[0050] In this embodiment, the support platform is an annular support platform, or there are multiple support platforms, and the multiple support platforms are evenly spaced along the periphery of the edge 5, and the lower end surfaces of the multiple support platforms are located in the same plane. The support platforms press against the periphery of the lower back cover 3 to ensure the stability of the fixation of the lower back cover 3.

[0051] In order to facilitate the positioning of the lower rear cover 3, positioning blocks can be provided around the bottom surface of the lower rear cover 3, and corresponding positioning grooves can be provided on the support platform to achieve the positioning and installation of the lower rear cover 3 and the support platform.
