Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] An automotive speed control module is an electrical device that adjusts the blower's air volume and speed by adjusting the blower's supply voltage and current. Existing conventional PWM speed control modules suffer from a number of design flaws, including inconvenient assembly, a large number of components, complex manufacturing processes, high costs, and limited functionality.

The upper cover of the utility model is assembled with two screws, and the upper surface of the screw assembly groove adopts an inclined surface design to ensure that when the module is assembled with the fan volute, the downward locking force of the screw is perpendicular to the installation column of the fan volute, so that it can better fit the installation characteristics of the fan volute, and is more flexible and reliable. The utility model uses a two-component thermal conductive adhesive, which has a better gap filling effect between the PCB board and the radiator, and has the advantages of fast heat conduction, good reliability and low cost. The upper cover of the utility model is provided with a hook, and the radiator is provided with a triangular fixing block. The upper cover is pressed closed by a press so that the hook of the upper cover is firmly buckled with the triangular fixing block of the radiator to complete the assembly.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a PWM fan speed control module structure based on a clamping mechanism includes a PCBA assembly 2, which includes a variety of electronic components. The structure also includes a clamping mechanism 6, which is installed on the PCBA assembly 2. The clamping mechanism 6 includes a connecting piece and a clamping protection unit. The connecting piece and the clamping protection unit are connected. The clamping protection unit is installed on the electronic component and is used to compress and protect different electronic components.

[0038] The pressing mechanism 6 is made of TPE thermoplastic elastomer material.

[0039] The compression protection unit includes a sleeve-type protection sleeve and an annular compression sleeve.

[0040] The structure further comprises an upper cover 1 and a sealing ring 5 , wherein the sealing ring 5 , the pressing mechanism 6 and the upper cover 1 are integrated into one body by secondary molding.

[0041] The structure further includes a radiator 4, the radiator 4 is provided with a triangular fixing block, the upper cover 1 is provided with a hook, and the triangular fixing block and the hook are connected.

[0042] The structure further includes a two-component thermal conductive adhesive 3 , which is mounted on the heat sink 4 .

[0043] The PCBA assembly 2 includes a PCB board, the PCB board is provided with a limiting hole, and the radiator is further provided with a positioning column, and the limiting hole and the positioning column are connected.

[0044] In this embodiment, a two-component thermally conductive adhesive 3 is first applied to the corresponding heat conduction surface of the heat sink 4 using a dual-channel hybrid automatic dispensing machine. Then, the PCBA assembly 2 is placed, and when placing it, it is important to align the limiting holes of the PCB board with the positioning posts of the PCB board on the heat sink 4. Then, the upper cover 1 is inserted, and when inserting it, it is important to ensure that the pins of the circuit board pass through the corresponding insertion holes in the upper cover 1. Finally, the upper cover 1 is pressed closed with a press, so that the hooks of the upper cover 1 firmly engage the triangular fixing blocks of the heat sink 4 to complete the assembly.

[0045] The upper cover 1 is designed using a two-stage injection molding process. The sealing ring 5 and the clamping mechanism 6 of the PCBA assembly 2 are designed using TPE thermoplastic elastomer material and are directly integrated into the upper cover through the secondary injection molding process. The clamping mechanism 6 is designed based on the spacing and size of the main electronic components and is designed with anti-interference barriers in mind. After the upper cover 1 is fastened to the heat sink 4, the molded elastomer material provides overall sealing protection for the module, clamps and secures the PCBA assembly 2, and isolates the main electronic components, preventing mutual interference during module operation. This design features a streamlined structure, a small number of parts, efficient assembly, and stable performance. The cylindrical shape of the electronic components necessitates a sleeve-type protective structure to protect them from vibration. According to the shape, height and distribution of other types of electronic components, an annular clamping structure is designed to ensure that the electronic components are evenly stressed. When the upper cover 1 and the radiator 4 are buckled together, the above clamping protection structure can effectively make the entire PCBA assembly 2 flat on the radiator, thereby ensuring the heat transfer of the PCBA assembly 2. The entire clamping structure always maintains a certain elasticity, avoiding rigid stress on the electronic components and more effectively protecting the PCBA assembly 2.

[0046] A heat dissipation surface is added to the bottom of the PCB board, and a two-component thermal conductive adhesive 3 is used in combination. The two-component thermal conductive adhesive 3 has a better gap filling effect between the PCB board and the heat sink 4, and has the advantages of fast heat conduction, good reliability and low cost.

[0047] The PCB circuit design is simpler, using smaller chips. The number of electronic components is significantly reduced, and the main electronic components are spaced farther apart and more rationally distributed, eliminating mutual interference between electronic components during module operation. The overall module circuit design is more optimized, lowering costs, increasing production efficiency, and being more economical.

[0048] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the structure further comprises two screw assembly slots 7, which are mounted on the upper cover 1, and the upper surfaces of the screw assembly slots 7 are inclined. The upper surfaces of the screw assembly slots 7 are relatively inclined.

[0049] The structure further includes a fan volute 10 and screws 8 . The fan volute 10 is provided with a mounting post 9 . The mounting post 9 and the screw assembly slot 7 are connected by the screws 8 .

[0050] In the present invention, the upper cover 1 and the fan volute 10 are assembled with two screws 8, and the upper surface of the screw assembly groove 7 is designed with an inclined surface to ensure that when the module is assembled with the fan volute 10, the downward locking force of the screw 8 is perpendicular to the mounting column 9 of the fan volute 10, so that it can better fit the installation characteristics of the fan volute, making the installation reliability of the module higher. Figure 9 This is a diagram showing the completed assembly of the present invention.

[0051] 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 person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such modifications or substitutions are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
