Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective mechanism technology, specifically to an aluminum alloy protective lower housing for an automotive control processor. Background Technology
[0002] The vehicle control processor, also known as the electronic control unit (ECU), is an important component of modern automobiles. It is the core of the vehicle's electronic system, receiving, processing, and transmitting signals from various sensors and actuators to control and regulate multiple systems and functions of the vehicle.
[0003] Automotive control processors are typically installed inside the driver's console within the vehicle's cab and are usually protected by a plastic casing. However, when a vehicle is parked outdoors in high temperatures, the interior of the vehicle becomes hot, causing the plastic casing to soften, deform, or even melt, thus losing its protection for the automotive control processor. To address this issue, an aluminum alloy protective lower casing for automotive control processors is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an aluminum alloy protective lower housing for an automotive control processor, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an aluminum alloy protective lower housing for an automotive control processor, comprising an upper support plate, a lower mold base being provided on the outer side of the lower end of the upper support plate, and an upper pad plate, an upper clamping plate, a stop plate, an upper template plate, a lower template plate, an inner stripping plate, an outer stripping plate, and a lower clamping plate being provided between the upper support plate and the lower mold base.
[0008] Preferably, the upper pad is disposed at the lower end inside the upper support plate, and the upper clamping plate is disposed at the lower end of the upper pad.
[0009] Preferably, the upper template is located at the lower end of the upper clamping plate, and the stop plate is located at the lower end inside the upper template.
[0010] Preferably, the lower template is disposed at the lower end of the stop plate.
[0011] Preferably, the lower clamping plate is disposed at the upper end of the lower mold base, and the outer ejector plate is disposed at the upper end of the lower clamping plate.
[0012] Preferably, the inner stripping plate is disposed at the upper end of the outer stripping plate.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an aluminum alloy protective lower housing for an automotive control processor, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention utilizes an aluminum alloy protective shell. During vehicle operation, the vehicle's control processor generates heat, which the aluminum alloy shell rapidly dissipates, maintaining the processor within a suitable operating temperature range. This helps improve the processor's performance and stability, extending its lifespan. Compared to other protective materials, aluminum alloy has a relatively low density, providing sufficient protection while reducing the vehicle's overall weight. This is significant for improving fuel economy and handling performance. The design employs a structure including a support plate, pad, clamp, baffle, and template to physically isolate and waterproof / dustproof the control processor. Furthermore, the aluminum alloy surface can be treated with oxidation to form a protective film, enhancing its corrosion resistance. This helps maintain the structural integrity of the protective shell in the complex automotive environment, effectively protecting the control processor and resolving the problems associated with existing plastic shells.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] This utility model provides a technical solution: an aluminum alloy protective lower housing for an automotive control processor. (See also...) Figure 1 - Figure 13 It includes an upper support plate 1, a lower mold base 10 is provided on the lower end of the upper support plate 1, and an upper pad plate 2, an upper clamping plate 3, a stop plate 4, an upper template 5, a lower template 6, an inner stripper plate 7, an outer stripper plate 8 and a lower clamping plate 9 are provided between the upper support plate 1 and the lower mold base 10.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper pad 2 is located at the lower end inside the upper support plate 1, and the upper clamping plate 3 is located at the lower end of the upper pad 2.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper template 5 is located at the lower end of the upper clamping plate 3, and the stop plate 4 is located at the lower end inside the upper template 5.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lower template 6 is set at the lower end of the stop plate 4.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lower clamping plate 9 is located at the upper end of the lower mold base 10, and the outer stripper plate 8 is located at the upper end of the lower clamping plate 9.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner stripper plate 7 is located at the upper end of the outer stripper plate 8.
[0037] In this design, the upper support plate 1 and the lower mold base 10 serve as the upper and lower parts of the protective shell, forming an integral frame structure that encloses the vehicle control processor. They provide the first line of defense against external physical impacts, such as minor collisions or impacts from small stones flying off the road, preventing direct impact on the vehicle control processor. The upper clamping plate 3 and the lower clamping plate 9 clamp the vehicle control processor from the side, fixing its position and preventing it from shaking inside the protective shell. This helps prevent damage from collisions between the vehicle control processor and the internal structure of the protective shell during vehicle operation, especially on bumpy roads. The inner stripper plate 7 and the outer stripper plate 8 act as buffers; if external impact forces are transmitted to the protective shell, they can absorb and disperse some of the energy, reducing the impact force transmitted to the vehicle control processor. The tight fit between the stop plate 4 and the upper mold plate 5 and lower mold plate 6 prevents dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the protective shell. The sealing of the upper mold plate 5 and lower mold plate 6 also helps maintain a dry internal environment, thus protecting the electronic components inside the vehicle control processor from corrosion and short circuits.
