[0003] However, in the prior art, improvements to the vehicle-mounted device are mainly reflected in the heat dissipation aspect, and there is a lack of improvement in the waterproof function of the host. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by the utility model is that in the prior art, the improvement of the vehicle-mounted device is mainly reflected in the heat dissipation, and there is a lack of improvement in the waterproof function of the host.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a vehicle-mounted device, including a first shell and a second shell that cooperate with each other, the first shell and the second shell cooperate with each other to form a first accommodating chamber and a second accommodating chamber for installing electronic components; the first shell and the second shell are provided with an airflow duct for connecting the first accommodating chamber and the external environment space; the first shell is provided with a first enclosure for forming the first accommodating chamber; the second shell is provided with a second enclosure for forming the first accommodating chamber; when the first shell is installed to the second shell, the first enclosure and the second enclosure cooperate with each other to form a stop structure separating the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber, so as to prevent water vapor in the airflow duct from entering the second accommodating chamber.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is as follows: in combination with the actual installation situation of the first shell and the second shell, when the first shell is installed to the second shell, the first enclosure frame located on the first shell and the second enclosure frame located on the second shell cooperate with each other and fit together to form a stop structure. Specifically, the second enclosure frame is nested into the first enclosure frame, and the accommodation space formed between the two is the first accommodation chamber. The enclosure walls of the first enclosure frame and the second enclosure frame are staggered and fit together to form an upper and lower staggered retaining wall structure, which is the stop structure. The first accommodation chamber is connected to the external environment space. The stop structure can separate the first accommodation chamber from the second accommodation chamber, preventing dust accumulation and water ingress in the second accommodation chamber, thereby causing damage to the electronic components in the second accommodation chamber and causing a short circuit. Compared with separately setting a stop plate to prevent dust accumulation and water ingress, this technical solution rationally utilizes the mutual cooperation between the first enclosure frame and the second enclosure frame, acting as both the enclosure wall of the first accommodation chamber and the stop structure to prevent dust accumulation and water ingress, thereby achieving rational utilization of the enclosure frame, eliminating the need for additional stop plates, and saving material usage.

[0007] In one example of the present invention, the airflow duct includes a first channel provided in the first shell, connecting the first enclosure frame with the first accommodating chamber, forming a first channel opening at the connection point, and the second enclosure frame is attached to the side of the first channel opening close to the second accommodating chamber to prevent the first channel opening from being blocked and hindering the passage of airflow; and / or, the airflow duct includes a second channel provided in the second shell, connecting the second enclosure frame with the first accommodating chamber.

[0008] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: by setting the first channel and the second channel, and the first channel and the second channel are connected to the first accommodating chamber, the airflow circulates in the first accommodating chamber and the airflow duct; the second frame is attached to the side of the first channel opening close to the second accommodating chamber to prevent the first channel opening from being blocked and hindering the passage of airflow.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the second shell exposed to the external environment is provided with a plurality of first ribs.

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: by providing the first ribs, when water flows onto the second shell, the water can flow away along the first ribs.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first rib is provided around the second shell and extends out from one end of the second shell that is matched with the first shell.

[0014] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: by arranging the first rib around the second shell and extending out from the end of the second shell that cooperates with the first shell, water can flow along the first rib. When the length of the first rib is too short or flush with the edge of the second shell frame, water droplets are likely to gather in the gap formed by the mutual fit of the frame walls of the first shell and the second shell, and then penetrate into the gap into the interior of the shell, damaging the electronic components placed in the second accommodating chamber.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first shell is provided with a plurality of first drainage holes; the first drainage holes are provided at positions of the first shell corresponding to the first accommodating chamber.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: by setting the first drainage hole at the position of the first shell corresponding to the first accommodating chamber, when water accumulates in the first accommodating chamber, the water can be discharged from the first drainage hole.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first drainage hole is provided in the first enclosure; the first enclosure cooperates with the second enclosure on one side of the first shell, and the first drainage hole is provided on the other side.

[0018] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: by arranging the first drainage hole on the first frame of the first accommodating chamber, the accumulated water can be more easily discharged from the first accommodating chamber when the vehicle-mounted device is installed at an angle.

[0020] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: by providing a heat dissipation boss, the heat generated by the electronic components in the second accommodating chamber is transferred to the first shell and the second shell through the heat dissipation boss.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the air duct is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins, and the heat dissipation fins are used to transfer heat to the external environment space.

[0022] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effect achieved by adopting this technical solution is: by arranging multiple heat dissipation fins in the air flow duct, the heat conducted to the first shell and the second shell is further conducted to the heat dissipation fins, and the air flow enters from the first accommodating chamber, flows to the first channel and the second channel, and transfers the heat on the heat dissipation fins to the external environment space.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present invention, one end of the heat dissipation fin is close to the first accommodation chamber, and the other end is far away from the first accommodation chamber; and a plurality of heat dissipation fins are arranged in parallel.

The first shell 100 and the second shell 200 cooperate with each other to form a first accommodating chamber 300 and a second accommodating chamber 400 for installing electronic components; the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are provided with an airflow duct for connecting the first accommodating chamber 300 and the external environment space; the first shell 100 is provided with a first enclosure 110 for forming the first accommodating chamber 300; the second shell 200 is provided with a second enclosure 210 for forming the first accommodating chamber 300; when the first shell 100 is installed to the second shell 200, the first enclosure 110 and the second enclosure 210 cooperate with each other to form a stopping structure that separates the first accommodating chamber 300 and the second accommodating chamber 400, so as to prevent water vapor in the airflow duct from entering the second accommodating chamber 400.

[0037] In some embodiments, the vehicle-mounted device may be a vehicle networking entertainment host or other equipment. In a specific embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device is a vehicle networking entertainment host, also known as an in-vehicle infotainment system (IVI) or a head unit (HU). In combination with the actual installation situation of the vehicle networking entertainment host, the second shell 200 is placed on the tooling, thermal conductive adhesive is applied on the heat dissipation boss 410 of the second shell 200, the positioning ribs on the second shell 200 are aligned, the first circuit board is placed, and the fixing screws are tightened; the second circuit board is placed in accordance with the positioning ribs on the second shell 200, and thermal conductive adhesive is applied to the heat dissipation chip; the fan installation positioning ribs on the second shell 200 are aligned, the fan is installed, and the fan connector is buckled onto the second circuit board; the positioning grooves on the upper edge of the second shell 200 are aligned, the first shell 100 is placed in, and the fixing screws are tightened; the positioning bosses on the first shell 100 are aligned, the first fan cover is placed in, and the fixing screws are tightened; the positioning bosses on the second shell 200 are aligned, the second fan cover is placed in, and the fixing screws are tightened; the positioning columns on the second shell 200 are aligned, the front cover is placed in, and the fixing screws are tightened. The fan is placed in the first accommodating chamber 300, and the first circuit board and the second circuit board are placed in the second accommodating chamber 400. During operation, the fan easily brings water vapor from the external environment into the interior of the shell. By setting a stop structure in the first accommodating chamber 300 and the second accommodating chamber 400, the first accommodating chamber 300 and the second accommodating chamber 400 are separated to prevent dust accumulation and water ingress in the second accommodating chamber 400, which may cause damage to the electronic components in the second accommodating chamber 400 and cause a short circuit in the electronic components.

[0038] See also Figure 1The airflow duct includes a first channel 112 provided in the first shell 100, connecting the first enclosure 110 with the first accommodating chamber 300, forming a first channel opening 113 at the connection point, and the second enclosure 210 is attached to the side of the first channel opening 113 close to the second accommodating chamber 400 to prevent the first channel opening 113 from being blocked and hindering the passage of air; and / or, the airflow duct includes a second channel 211 provided in the second shell 200, connecting the second enclosure 210 with the first accommodating chamber 300.

[0039] The airflow duct can connect the first accommodating chamber 300 and the external environment space. Specifically, there are three situations. For example, the airflow duct includes a first channel 112 provided in the first shell 100, connecting the first frame 110 with the first accommodating chamber 300, and forming a first channel opening 113 at the connection point. The second frame 210 is attached to the side of the first channel opening 113 close to the second accommodating chamber 400 to prevent the first channel opening 113 from being blocked and hindering the airflow; for another example, the airflow duct includes a second channel 211 provided in the second shell 200, and the second channel 211 is connected to the first accommodating chamber 300; for another example, the first channel 112 and the second channel 211 exist at the same time and are connected to the first accommodating chamber 300.

[0040] Specifically, the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 cooperate with each other, and the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 are attached to each other around to form a closed space, and the first accommodating chamber 300 and the second accommodating chamber 400 are located in the closed space.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 cooperate with each other, nesting within the second housing 200. The first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are joined together on all sides to form staggered retaining walls, creating an enclosed space within which the first accommodating chamber 300 and the second accommodating chamber 400 reside. This cooperation and the enclosed space between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 enhance the tightness of the assembly of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, making it less likely for water to enter the housings through the gap between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, and subsequently enter the second accommodating chamber 400, potentially damaging the electronic components.

[0042] Specifically, a portion of the second shell 200 exposed to the external environment is provided with a plurality of first ribs 212 .

[0043] In combination with the actual installation situation of the vehicle-mounted device, in a specific embodiment, the vehicle network entertainment host is installed at an angle in the vehicle, with the second shell 200 facing upward. When water droplets fall on the second shell 200, the water can be drained along the first rib 212 by providing the first rib 212.

[0044] Specifically, the first rib 212 is disposed around the second shell 200 and extends out from one end of the second shell 200 that is matched with the first shell 100 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted device is provided with two first ribs 212, which are provided on the second shell 200 and extend beyond the end of the second shell 200 that cooperates with the first shell 100. When water droplets fall on the second shell 200, the water can flow away along the first ribs 212. When the length of the first ribs is too short or flush with the edge of the second shell frame, the water droplets are likely to gather in the gap formed by the mutual adhesion of the frame walls of the first shell 100 and the second shell 200, and then penetrate into the gap into the interior of the shell, damaging the electronic components placed in the second accommodating chamber 400.

[0046] See also Figure 4 The first shell 100 is provided with a plurality of first drainage holes 114 ; the first drainage holes 114 are provided at positions of the first shell 100 corresponding to the first accommodating chamber 300 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the first housing 100 is provided with two side-by-side first drainage holes 114 ; the first drainage holes 114 are located at positions on the first housing 100 corresponding to the first accommodating chamber 300 . By providing the first drainage holes 114 at positions on the first housing 100 corresponding to the first accommodating chamber 300 , water can be drained from the first drainage holes 114 when water accumulates in the first accommodating chamber 300 .

[0049] In this embodiment, a first drainage hole 114 is provided on the first enclosure 110. The first enclosure 110 mates with the second enclosure 210 on one side of the first housing 100 and has the first drainage hole 114 on the other side. By providing the first drainage hole 114 on the first enclosure 110 within the first accommodating chamber 300, accumulated water can be more easily drained from the first accommodating chamber 300 when the vehicle-mounted device is installed at an angle. Those skilled in the art can adjust the position of the drainage hole based on the actual installation conditions of the vehicle-mounted device.

[0050] Specifically, a plurality of heat dissipation bosses 410 are provided on one side of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 away from the external environment space to conduct heat from the electronic components to the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 .

[0051] In this embodiment, a plurality of heat dissipation bosses 410 are provided on the side of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 away from the external environment, transferring heat from the electronic components to the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. The heat dissipation bosses 410 allow heat generated by the electronic components in the second housing chamber 400 to be transferred to the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 via the heat dissipation bosses 410.

[0052] Specifically, the air duct is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins, and the heat dissipation fins are used to transfer heat to the external environment space.

[0053] In this embodiment: the air flow duct is provided with a plurality of heat dissipating fins, which can cooperate with the fan in the first accommodating chamber 300. The air flow first enters the first accommodating chamber 300 from the external environment space. Under the action of the fan, the air flow enters the first channel 112 and the second channel 211, and transfers the heat conducted to the heat dissipating fins to the external environment space.

[0054] Specifically, one end of the heat dissipation fin is close to the first accommodating chamber 300 , and the other end is away from the first accommodating chamber 300 ; and a plurality of heat dissipation fins are arranged in parallel.

[0055] In this embodiment, multiple heat dissipating fins are arranged at equal intervals, with one end of the heat dissipating fin close to the first accommodating chamber 300 and the other end away from the first accommodating chamber 300. The heat dissipating fins are distributed parallel to the first channel 112 and the second channel 211. By arranging the heat dissipating fins with one end close to the first accommodating chamber 300 and the other end away from the first accommodating chamber 300, and by arranging the multiple heat dissipating fins in parallel, the heat dissipating fins can transfer sufficient heat without affecting airflow.

[0056] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
