[0002] With the rapid development of automotive technology, vehicle intelligence continues to increase, and drivers' expectations for a better driving experience are also increasing. Modern vehicles must not only meet basic driving needs but also provide a range of advanced driver assistance features. To achieve these functions, the functional configuration of vehicle controllers is becoming increasingly complex. With the increase in functions, decentralized controllers are beginning to show some limitations. For example, each ECU requires its own processor and other electronic components, which not only increases the overall cost of the vehicle, but also complicates the wiring harness and may affect overall reliability and maintainability.

[0021] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, in some illustrative embodiments, a new intelligent controller assembly is provided, including: an upper shell 1, a lower shell 2, a PCB board 3, a plug-in 4, a Fakra plug group, a debugging interface 5, and a TF card installation port 6.

[0023] The upper housing 1 snaps onto the lower housing 2 to form a cavity, within which the PCB 3 and various electronic components are located. The assembly of the upper and lower housings 1 and 2 creates a complete enclosure. The resulting cavity provides a sealed, dust-proof, and moisture-proof environment for the PCB 3 and various electronic components, helping to improve the reliability and lifespan of the controller.

[0024] The outer side of the upper housing 1 is provided with rib-shaped heat dissipating fins 101, which can increase the contact area with the air to dissipate heat. The heat dissipating fins effectively dissipate the heat inside the housing to the external environment by increasing air flow and heat exchange. The inner side of the upper housing 1 is provided with a number of heat dissipating steps 102. The position of the heat dissipating steps 102 corresponds to the position of the high-power chip. After assembly, they fit closely with the high-power chip, helping to absorb heat directly from the chip. That is, the heat from the chip is promptly transferred to the upper housing 1, which accelerates heat dissipation, avoids heat accumulation on the PCB board 3, and improves system stability. The upper housing 1 is made of die-cast aluminum, which has excellent thermal conductivity. Die-cast aluminum can not only quickly absorb the heat generated by the chip, but also maintain the structural strength and stability of the housing.

[0025] Sunken platforms 103 are provided at the four corners of the inner side of the upper housing 1. These provide additional support points and facilitate a tight connection between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. Embedded bosses 201 are provided on the lower housing 2 at positions corresponding to the sunken platforms 103. These bosses 201 align with the sunken platforms 103 of the upper housing, forming a stable, hidden support structure. Screw holes 7 are provided on the sunken platforms 103 and the embedded bosses 201.

[0026] The inner side of the upper housing 1 is also provided with triangularly arranged recesses 104, which enhance structural stability. The lower housing 2 is provided with a truncated cone 202 at the position corresponding to the recesses 104. The design of the truncated cone 202 facilitates precise alignment and fixation. Screw holes 7 are provided in the recesses 104 and the truncated cone 202.

[0027] The upper and lower housings 1 and 2 are connected by bolts. Through-holes 301 are provided on the PCB 3 at the locations corresponding to screw holes 7. During assembly, the bolts pass through the screw holes in the lower housing 2, then through the through-holes 301 on the PCB 3, and finally into the screw holes in the upper housing 1 to complete the assembly. The sunken countertops 103 and embedded bosses 201 at the four corners, along with the triangular arrangement of the recessed grooves 104 and the frustum 202, enhance the stability of the entire controller structure.

[0028] The front of PCB 3 is equipped with a plug-in 4, a Fakra plug assembly, and a debug port 5. A TF card slot 6 is located on the side of PCB 3. Plug-in 4 provides power, ground, CAN signals, and blind spot monitoring driver output signals. Debug port 5 is used for fault debugging. Inserting a TF card into TF card slot 6 records vehicle surrounding information for analysis and processing in the event of an accident.

[0029] The Fakra plug group includes eight Fakra plugs: 6 AVM camera input ports to collect image information around the vehicle, namely the front camera Fakra plug 11, the rear camera Fakra plug 12, the left front camera Fakra plug 13, the right front camera Fakra plug 14, the left rear camera Fakra plug 15, and the right rear camera Fakra plug 16; a fatigue camera input port to collect driver facial information, namely the fatigue camera Fakra plug 17; and a large screen output port to transmit the processed image to the display, namely the screen Fakra plug 18.

[0030] The front of the upper housing 1 houses a cavity 105 for accommodating the plug-in 4. The design of cavity 105 takes into account the size and shape of the plug-in 4, ensuring it rests securely within the cavity. The protruding design of the plug-in prevents the intrusion of dust and water droplets, protecting the plug-in from damage. A trapezoidal notch 106 is provided above cavity 105. This ergonomic design facilitates plugging and unplugging of the plug-in and facilitates maintenance. The protruding design and trapezoidal notch ensure greater stability and reliability during operation, extending the lifespan of the controller.

[0031] The upper housing 1 features clearance notches 107 corresponding to the Fakra plug assembly and debugging interface 5. The lower housing 2 is equipped with a cover plate 203 at the location corresponding to the clearance notch 107. The cover plate 203 fits within the clearance notch 107, sealing the housing structure. The design of the clearance notch 107 and the cover plate 203 effectively seals the housing structure, protecting the Fakra plug assembly and debugging interface 5 from external environmental influences. The cover plate 203 helps secure the Fakra plug assembly and debugging interface 5, ensuring their stability during use and reducing the risk of loosening or damage to the plugs due to vibration or impact.

[0032] Positioning posts 108 are provided on a recessed platform at one of the diagonal corners on the inner side of the upper housing 1. Positioning holes 204 are defined in the embedded boss 201 at positions corresponding to the positioning posts 108. The design of the positioning posts 108 and positioning holes 204 ensures precise alignment of key components between the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, improving assembly accuracy and stability.

[0033] Mounting plates 205 are provided on both sides of the lower shell 2, and mounting circular holes 206 are provided on the mounting plates 205. The lower shell 2 is made of cold-rolled galvanized sheet metal and includes mounting points with the entire vehicle, and fixing points with the PCB board and the upper shell.

[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
