Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

For example, "including" is not limited to the listed structures, but may optionally include structures not listed, or may optionally include other components inherent to those structures.

[0027] The present application discloses a snap-fit structure for controller installation, which simplifies the controller's mounting structure and speeds up installation. Furthermore, since an electric screwdriver is no longer required for assembly, it effectively addresses potential quality risks associated with controllers made of different materials being subjected to the same torque. These are described in detail below.

[0028] Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a buckle structure for installing a controller according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the snap-fit structure includes: a first snap-fit part 1 and a second snap-fit part 2, which are sequentially arranged along the X direction on the outer surface 31 where the controller 3 and the vehicle body counterpart 4 are assembled, and the snap-fit structure is assembled with the vehicle body counterpart 4 through the first snap-fit part 1 and the second snap-fit part 2.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first latch 1 includes a first latch body 11 and a plurality of first limiting ribs 12, wherein the first latch body 11 includes a first straight plate portion 111 and a first curved portion 112, one end of the first straight plate portion 111 is fixedly connected to the outer surface 31 of the controller 3, and the two ends of the first straight plate portion 111 extend along the Y direction, the other end of the first straight plate portion 111 is connected to one end of the first curved portion 112, and the two ends of the first curved portion 112 extend along the X direction, and the plurality of first limiting ribs 12 are arranged on a side surface of the first straight plate portion 111 close to the first curved portion 112, and the two ends of each first limiting rib 12 extend along the Y direction. It should be noted that the "two ends" of the first curved portion 112 in this application refer to the two ends with a certain curvature between them.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the second clip 2 includes a second clip body 21 and a plurality of second limiting ribs 22, the second clip body 21 includes a second straight plate portion 211, a second curved portion 212 and a third straight plate portion 213, one end of the second straight plate portion 211 is fixedly connected to the outer surface 31 of the controller 3, and the two ends of the second curved portion 212 are respectively connected to the other end of the second straight plate portion 211 and one end of the third straight plate portion 213, the two ends of the second curved portion 212 are extended along the X direction, the two ends of the second straight plate portion 211 and the third straight plate portion 213 are respectively extended along the Y direction, and the second straight plate portion 211 and the third straight plate portion 213 are both inclined to the outer surface 31 of the controller 3, and the distance between the second straight plate portion 211 and the third straight plate portion 213 near the second curved portion 212 is smaller than the distance between the second straight plate portion 211 and the third straight plate portion 213 is away from the distance between one end of the second curved portion 212, and a slot 23 is provided at the other end of the third straight plate portion 213. The slot 23 is an inverted L-shaped structure, and the slot 23 is facing away from the second straight plate portion 211. The plane of the slot 23 in the Y direction coincides with the plane where the other end of the first curved portion 112 is located. The second straight plate portion 211, the second curved portion 212 and the third straight plate portion 213 constitute an elastically deformable structure of the second fastener 2, and multiple second limiting ribs 22 are connected to the second straight plate portion 211, and the two ends of each second limiting rib 22 extend along the Y direction, and the multiple second limiting ribs 22 are symmetrically arranged.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the body counterpart 4 is provided with an assembly groove compatible with the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2. During the assembly process of the controller 3 and the body counterpart 4, the controller 3 is first pre-assembled by screwing into the body counterpart 4 through the first fastener 1, and then introduced into the body counterpart 4 through the elastically deformable structure of the second fastener 2 to complete the assembly.

Thus, the first fastener 1 and the second fastener 2 limit and fix the controller 3 and the body counterpart 4. Compared with the screw fastening form, the double-snap assembly positioning constraint form in this application simplifies the controller installation process, shortens the controller installation time, greatly improves assembly efficiency, ensures installation reliability, and because it no longer requires the use of an electric screwdriver for assembly, it effectively solves the potential quality risks that may arise when controllers made of different materials are subjected to the same torque.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the present application, the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are perpendicular to each other, and the plane formed by the X direction and the Y direction is the plane where the outer surface 31 of the controller 3 is located. In addition, in the present application, the "perpendicular" in the present application is not absolutely perpendicular, and can be 90°±10°.

[0033] In some specific implementation processes, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first latch 1 is disposed in the middle of an edge of the outer surface 31 of the controller 3, and the end of the first straight plate portion 111 connected to the controller 3 is adapted to the edge shape of the controller 3. Correspondingly, the second latch 2 is disposed in the middle of the outer surface 31 of the controller 3. This design ensures the reliability of the installation between the controller 3 and the vehicle body counterpart 4. In addition, in other specific implementations, the cross-section of the first curved portion 112 is two symmetrically connected arcs, so as to maximize the length of the first curved portion 112 in the X direction, thereby enhancing the stability of the first curved portion 112 in the assembly and positioning of the vehicle body counterpart 4 in the Y direction.

[0034] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first fastener 1 also includes a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 13 for reinforcing the strength and rigidity of the first fastener 1. In detail, the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 13 are evenly and equidistantly arranged on the side surface of the first straight plate portion 111 away from the first limiting rib 12 and the side surface of the first curved portion 112 away from the first limiting rib 12, and each first reinforcing rib 13 is connected to the outer surface 31 of the controller 3. Furthermore, each first reinforcing rib 13 is a right-angled trapezoidal plate structure, and the first reinforcing rib 13 is transitionally connected to the controller 3, the first straight plate portion 111 and the first curved portion 112. In detail, the two corners of the first reinforcing rib 13 away from the first fastener 1 are set as transition arc chamfers, and the parts of the first reinforcing rib 13 connected to the first fastener 1 and the controller 3 are adapted to the shape of the first fastener 1 and the shape of the edge of the controller 3, respectively.

[0035] In another embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the second fastener 2 also includes a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 24 for enhancing the strength and rigidity of the second fastener 2. Specifically, the plurality of second reinforcing ribs 24 are disposed on a side surface of the second straight plate portion 211 away from the third straight plate portion 213, and each second reinforcing rib 24 is connected to the outer surface 31 of the controller 3. A plurality of second limiting ribs 22 are symmetrically disposed on the outer surfaces of the two second reinforcing ribs 24 located on the outer sides. Furthermore, each second reinforcing rib 24 is a right-angled trapezoidal plate structure, and the second reinforcing ribs 24 transitionally connect to the controller 3 and the second straight plate portion 211. Specifically, the two corners of the second reinforcing ribs 24 away from the second fastener 2 are configured as transition chamfers. In a specific implementation, the length of the two second reinforcing ribs 24 located on the outer sides connected to the second straight plate portion 211 is equal to the length of the second straight plate portion 211, and the length of the second reinforcing rib 24 located in the middle connected to the second straight plate portion 211 can be equal to or less than the length of the second straight plate portion 211.

[0036] In another embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second latch 2 further includes one or more third limiting ribs 25, which are used to prevent the second latch 2 from over-deforming and yielding during assembly. Specifically, the third limiting ribs 25 are disposed on a side surface of the third straight plate portion 213 adjacent to the second straight plate portion 211. Furthermore, the third limiting ribs 25 are located at an end of the third straight plate portion 213 distal from the second curved portion 212, and the plane on which the end of the third limiting ribs 25 distal from the second curved portion 212 coincides with the plane on which the end of the third straight plate portion 213 distal from the second curved portion 212 coincides.

[0037] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vertical cross-section of the third straight plate portion 213 away from one end of the second curved portion 212 is a triangle, and the card slot 23 is arranged at a corner of the triangle away from the second straight plate portion 211. The design of the third straight plate portion 213 with a triangular structure at one end ensures the stability of the assembly and positioning of the second fastener 2 on the vehicle body opponent 4.

[0038] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also discloses a controller, including: a snap-on structure for installing the controller, which is arranged on the outer surface where the controller is assembled with the vehicle body counterpart, and the snap-on structure is the snap-on structure for installing the controller provided in the aforementioned embodiment, and its structure and principle are the same as those in the aforementioned embodiment.
