Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, the penetration rate of cars as a means of transportation continues to increase. In order to meet the needs of users for carrying goods, cars usually have luggage compartments, most of which are equipped with rear trunks, and a few vehicles are also equipped with front trunks.

[0003] The current mainstream methods for opening a trunk are mechanical and touch-sensitive. Mechanical opening requires space inside or outside the vehicle to accommodate a switch. This is not only limited by vehicle styling and space constraints, but also requires drilling holes in the vehicle, resulting in high manufacturing costs. Touch-sensitive opening, while requiring only the addition of software control programs to the central control screen, is often hidden within a submenu, making operation complex. Furthermore, the user can only operate the system from inside the vehicle, not from outside, thus hindering the user experience.

[0004] Accordingly, this field requires a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, namely, to solve the problem that the conventional opening method of the existing vehicle trunk has high manufacturing costs and the touch-controlled opening method has poor operating experience, the present application provides a vehicle including a vehicle body, the vehicle also including a trunk control switch provided on the vehicle body, the trunk control switch including:

[0006] a mounting base configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the vehicle body;

[0007] a control chip, the control chip being mounted on the mounting seat and being configured to be electrically connected to a trunk opening and closing controller of the vehicle;

[0008] A sensing module is electrically connected to the control chip and is configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the vehicle body.

[0009] The trunk control switch configuration of the vehicle in this application not only provides a convenient switch operation experience but also reduces the vehicle's manufacturing costs. Specifically, by providing a sensing module as a trigger terminal and positioning the sensing module on the vehicle body, the user can open the trunk by touching the relevant area near the trunk, making operation simple and convenient. Furthermore, the installation method of the sensing module and control chip does not require disrupting the vehicle's styling, and the layout and placement are diverse, which not only improves the space utilization of the entire vehicle but also enhances the flexibility of the switch layout, achieving a hidden layout.

[0010] In a preferred technical solution of the above vehicle, the sensing module is electrically connected to the control chip via a conductive spring.

[0011] By using a conductive spring to connect the sensing module and the control chip, the mechanical properties of the spring can be utilized to effectively ensure the signal connection between the sensing module and the control chip, meet various harsh working conditions of the vehicle, and improve the working stability of the control switch.

[0012] In a preferred technical solution of the above vehicle, the trunk control switch further includes a heat sink, the mounting seat is provided with a through hole, the heat sink is arranged on one side of the control chip and extends out of the mounting seat from the through hole.

[0013] By providing a heat sink, the heat dissipation of the control chip can be effectively controlled to ensure the working stability of the control chip.

[0014] In a preferred technical solution of the above vehicle, the heat sink is sealed to the mounting seat.

[0015] The heat sink is sealed and connected to the mounting base, so that the sealing and waterproof effect of the hole column switch is effectively guaranteed.

[0016] In the preferred technical solution of the above vehicle, the sensing module is a capacitive sensing sensor or an ultrasonic sensing sensor.

[0017] In a preferred technical solution of the above vehicle, the trunk control switch further includes a connecting support, the connecting support is provided with a mounting hole, the sensing module is mounted in the mounting hole, and the mounting support is covered and mounted on the mounting hole.

[0018] By setting up the connecting support, the assembly and assembly of the mounting base, control chip and sensing module can be simplified. The mounting base, control chip and sensing module can be assembled into a standardized module using the connecting support, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the entire vehicle.

[0019] In a preferred technical solution of the above vehicle, the mounting hole protrudes to one side to form a hole column, the sensing module is installed in the hole column, and the mounting seat is connected to the free end of the hole column by vibration friction welding.

[0020] Connecting the mounting base to the free end of the hole column by vibration friction welding is conducive to achieving a seal between the mounting base and the hole column, and further improving the sealing and waterproof effect of the control switch.

[0021] In a preferred technical solution of the above vehicle, the sensing module is connected to the vehicle body by insert injection molding, and the mounting base is connected to a position on the inner side of the vehicle body corresponding to the sensing module.

[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

In addition, in the description of this application, "plurality" refers to at least two.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] First refer to Figures 1 to 3 , briefly introduce the vehicle of this application.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to solve the problems of high manufacturing cost and poor operating experience of the traditional opening method of the existing vehicle trunk, the vehicle of the present application includes a vehicle body and a trunk control switch arranged on the vehicle body, and the trunk control switch includes a mounting base 1, a control chip 2 and a sensing module 3. The mounting base 1 is configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the vehicle body, and the control chip 2 is mounted on the mounting base 1. The control chip 2 is configured to be electrically connected to the vehicle trunk opening and closing controller. The sensing module 3 is electrically connected to the control chip 2, and the sensing module 3 is configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the vehicle body.

[0037] In one possible application, the sensing module 3 is connected to a vehicle exterior component, such as the inner skin of the rear anti-collision beam. The control chip 2 is fixed to the mounting base 1, and the control chip 2 is connected to the sensing module 3 and the trunk opening and closing controller respectively. Finally, the mounting base 1 is installed on the inner skin of the rear anti-collision beam. When the user wants to open the rear trunk, they simply touch the anti-collision beam skin corresponding to the sensing module 3. At this time, the sensing module 3 will generate a parameter change after sensing the human hand. This change can be captured by the control chip 2, and the control chip 2 then sends a signal to the trunk opening and closing controller, which controls the trunk to automatically open.

[0038] The trunk control switch of the vehicle of the present application not only provides a convenient opening and closing operation experience, but also reduces the manufacturing cost of the vehicle. Specifically, by providing a sensing module 3 as a trigger terminal and arranging the sensing module 3 on the vehicle body, the user can open the trunk by touching the relevant area near the trunk, which is simple and convenient to operate. At the same time, the installation method of the sensing module 3 and the control chip 2 does not require destroying the vehicle's shape, and the layout method and layout position are diverse, which not only improves the space utilization of the entire vehicle, but also enhances the layout flexibility of the switch and realizes a hidden layout.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the trunk control switch is arranged on the inner side of the bumper skin of the vehicle body or the inner side of the lamp housing. The bumper skin can be the front bumper or rear bumper of the vehicle, and the lamp housing is not limited to the vehicle's daytime running lights, headlights, width lights, taillights, fog lights, high-mounted brake lights, etc. In a possible embodiment, the trunk control switch can be arranged on the inner side of the front bumper skin or the inner side of the front lamp housing of the vehicle body, such as the inner side of the front running light housing or the inner side of the headlight housing, so as to conveniently control the opening and closing of the vehicle's front trunk. When the trunk control switch is integrated into the lamp housing, the trunk control switch can be installed on the non-transparent part of the lamp housing, or the sensing module 3 and related conductive parts can be set as transparent parts and arranged on the translucent part of the lamp housing. In addition, when the trunk control switch is integrated into the lamp housing, the power supply of the control switch can also be integrated with the lamp to save costs.

[0040] It should be explained that the car body mentioned in this application includes but is not limited to the car body (frame), car body exterior parts, car body interior parts, etc.

[0041] The following describes the specific implementation of the trunk control switch of the vehicle of the present application in combination with two embodiments.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a possible implementation, the luggage compartment control switch includes a mounting base 1 , a control chip 2 , a sensing module 3 , a heat sink 4 and a connecting support 6 .

[0044] One side of the mounting base 1 has a mounting area, surrounded by multiple studs 7. The other side of the mounting base 1 is roughly rectangular with rounded corners, and a through-hole 11 is provided in the center of the mounting base 1. The control chip 2 has multiple through-holes. After the control chip 2 passes through the through-holes and through the studs 7, it is screwed into the studs 7 to secure the control chip 2. In this application, there are four studs 7 and four through-holes, with one stud 7 passing through each through-hole.

[0045] In this application, the heat sink 4 is a heat sink. The base of the heat sink is attached to the side of the control chip 2 facing the mounting base 1, and the fins extend from the through-holes 11 of the mounting base 1 when installed. The base of the heat sink is outwardly flared from the fins. When installed, one side of the base abuts against the inner side surface (the side with the mounting position) around the through-hole 11 of the mounting base 1. Furthermore, the outwardly flared portion of the heat sink base is sealed to the inner side surface of the mounting base 1. More specifically, the base of the heat sink can be sealed to the inner side surface of the mounting base 1 by using a sealant, or a sealing ring can be added between the base of the heat sink and the inner side surface of the mounting base 1 to achieve a sealed connection between the two.

[0046] In this application, the connecting support 6 is plate-shaped, specifically a plate-shaped shape that matches the curved surface of the vehicle's exterior. A mounting hole 62 is formed on the connecting support 6, and a hole column 61 is formed by extending from the mounting hole 62 to one side. In this application, the mounting hole 62 is a rectangular hole, and the hole column 61 is a rounded rectangular hole column 61. The sensing module 3 uses a capacitive sensing sensor and is installed in the mounting hole 62, near the front end of the mounting hole 62 (i.e., near the plate-shaped end of the connecting support 6). For example, the sensing module 3 is installed in the mounting hole 62 by screws, bonding, or snap-on connection. The sensing module 3 is connected to the control chip 2. Specifically, in this application, the sensing module 3 and the control chip 2 are electrically connected via a conductive spring 5. After the control chip 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1, the mounting base 1 is mounted to cover the free end of the hole column 61. In this application, a welding rib 8 can be pre-set on the periphery of the side of the mounting base 1 where the mounting position is provided, and then the mounting base 1 is connected to the free end of the hole column 61 by vibration friction welding. After soldering, the control chip 2 is accommodated in the hole 61 .

[0047] After the trunk control switch is assembled, the connection bracket 6 and the bumper skin are pierced and welded together to achieve the assembly of the trunk control switch on the vehicle body.

[0048] During application, due to the electric field existing in the human body, when a human hand approaches the capacitive sensing sensor, a coupling capacitor is formed between the human hand and the sensor, causing the capacitance on the sensor to change. This change is easily detected by the control chip 2, and the control chip 2 sends a signal to the trunk opening and closing controller, and the trunk opening and closing controller controls the trunk to open automatically.

[0049] By adopting the conductive spring 5 to connect the sensing module 3 and the control chip 2, the mechanical properties of the spring can be utilized to effectively ensure the signal connection between the sensing module 3 and the control chip 2, meet various harsh working conditions of the whole vehicle, and improve the working stability of the control switch. By providing the heat sink 4, the control chip 2 can be effectively dissipated to ensure the working stability of the control chip 2. The heat sink 4 is sealed and connected to the mounting base 1, so that the sealing and waterproof effect of the hole column 61 switch is effectively guaranteed. By providing the connecting support 6, the mounting base 1, the control chip 2 and the sensing module 3 can be assembled and assembled. The connecting support 6 can be used to assemble the mounting base 1, the control chip 2 and the sensing module 3 into a standardized module, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the whole vehicle. The mounting base 1 is connected to the free end of the hole column 61 by vibration friction welding, which is conducive to achieving the sealing between the mounting base 1 and the hole column 61, further improving the sealing and waterproof effect of the control switch. A capacitive induction sensor is used as the sensing module 3. Since the capacitive induction sensor has a short sensing distance, it has good anti-interference performance.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The second implementation of this application is introduced below.

[0052] In this embodiment, compared with the previous embodiment, the connecting bracket 6 is omitted, and the sensing module 3 is connected to the vehicle body by insert injection molding, and the mounting base 1 is connected to the position of the sensing module 3 on the inner side of the vehicle body.

[0053] Specifically, using the bumper skin as an example, during the injection molding process, after the main portion of the bumper skin is injection-molded, the sensing module 3 is secured to the interior of the bumper skin mold, and the bumper skin injection molding process continues. Once the product is finished and removed, the pins of the sensing module 3 are exposed from the bumper skin, allowing them to connect to the control chip 2. Accordingly, during installation, the mounting base 1 can be directly mounted on the inside of the bumper skin where the sensing module 3 is located. It is then fixed to the inside of the skin by, for example, screwing, gluing, or welding, and connected to the sensing module 3.

[0054] Injecting the sensing module 3 onto the vehicle body by insert injection molding is beneficial to fixing the sensing module 3 and improving the installation stability of the sensing module 3 .

[0055] It should be noted that the above two specific implementations are only used to illustrate the principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art may adjust the above settings so that this application can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0056] For example, in an alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described in conjunction with the example of the connection between the control chip 2 and the sensing module 3 via the conductive spring 5, this is only one possible embodiment, and those skilled in the art can adjust the connection method between the control chip 2 and the sensing module 3 as long as the conditions for electrical connection between the two are met. For example, the sensing module 3 and the control chip 2 can also be connected via a signal line. In the case of a signal line connection, the mounting base 1 and the control chip 2 can also be set at other locations on the vehicle body, rather than having to be installed near the sensing module 3.

[0057] For example, in another alternative embodiment, the trunk control switch is introduced in conjunction with an example having a heat sink 4, but the heat sink 4 is not required. In other embodiments, the heat sink 4 may not be provided, or may be provided in other forms. Those skilled in the art may make a choice based on the specific application scenario.

[0058] For example, in another alternative embodiment, although the heat sink 4 is introduced in combination with the sealed connection with the mounting base 1 as an example, the sealed connection between the heat sink 4 and the mounting base 1 is only one possible embodiment, which is not necessary and can be adjusted by technicians in this field.

[0059] For another example, in another alternative embodiment, the sensing module 3 in the above embodiment is described in conjunction with a capacitive sensing sensor as an example, but this is not restrictive, and those skilled in the art may use other forms of sensors to implement the functions of the sensing module 3 of the present application. For example, those skilled in the art may also use an ultrasonic sensing sensor as the sensing module 3.

[0060] For another example, although the above embodiment is described using the example of a connection bracket 6 having a hole column 61, the specific structure and arrangement of the connection bracket 6 is not fixed. Those skilled in the art may determine the specific structure and form of the connection bracket 6 based on the specific installation location of the trunk control switch. For example, the connection bracket 6 may be shaped like a bracket or block rather than a plate; or the connection bracket 6 may be provided with only a mounting hole 62 instead of a hole column 61. In this case, the mounting base 1 may be installed on the plate-like structure of the connection bracket 6 or elsewhere on the vehicle.

[0061] For another example, in an alternative embodiment, the specific structural form of the mounting base 1 is not restrictive and can be adjusted by those skilled in the art based on specific application scenarios. For example, when the heat sink 4 is not provided, the via 11 on the mounting base 1 can be omitted, or the via 11 can be modified to a plurality of heat dissipation holes. For another example, the specific shape of the mounting base 1 is not unique and can be adjusted by those skilled in the art as long as the control chip 2 can be mounted thereon.

[0062] Of course, the above-mentioned replaceable implementation methods, as well as the replaceable implementation methods and the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, can be used in conjunction with each other to form new implementation methods suitable for more specific application scenarios.

[0063] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that although some embodiments described herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not other features, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this application and to form different embodiments. For example, in the claims of this application, any of the claimed embodiments may be used in any combination.

[0064] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
