For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] Example 1, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 Explanation:
[0029] A housing screw fixture for a vehicle control unit includes: a support base plate 1, a cover plate 2, a hinge 3, and a limiting support assembly 4. The cover plate 2 is disposed on the upper side of the support base plate 1 and is connected to the support base plate 1 via the hinge 3. The cover plate 2 can be opened and closed by connecting to the support base plate 1 via the hinge 3.
[0030] The limiting support assembly 4 is fixedly installed on the support base plate 1. The housing 5 of the vehicle control unit is placed on the limiting support assembly 4. The limiting support assembly 4 is fixedly installed on the support base plate 1 to place the housing 5. This allows for quick replacement of the control unit position, is suitable for mass production, and improves production efficiency.
[0031] The cover plate 2 is provided with pre-made screw through holes 6. The pre-made screw through holes 6 are coaxially arranged with the screw holes 7 on the housing 5 of the vehicle control unit. The coaxial arrangement of the pre-made screw through holes 6 and the screw holes 7 on the housing 5 of the vehicle control unit can ensure that the screws are accurately positioned in the screw holes of the housing, thereby improving the accuracy of assembly.
[0032] The pre-fabricated screw through-hole 6 is a tapered countersunk hole. The tapered design helps screwdrivers or automated screw-pressurizing machines align the screw hole more easily, especially on automated assembly lines, improving efficiency. The tapered countersunk hole better secures the screw head, preventing the screw from falling off or shifting during tightening. The tapered design reduces damage to the screw head and threads during screwing, extending the screw's lifespan.
[0033] Using jigs can reduce errors during manual operation because the design of jigs limits the scope and method of operation, thus reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0034] Example 2, based on Example 1, combined with... Figure 3 Explanation:
[0035] The supporting base plate 1 includes: a base plate body 11, a side support connecting plate 12, and a support pad 13. The side support connecting plate 12 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the upper surface of the base plate body 11. The upper side of the side support connecting plate 12 is connected to the cover plate 2 via a hinge 3. The side support connecting plate 12 is fixed to the base plate body 11, providing stable support for the cover plate 2, making the entire fixture structure more stable and less prone to deformation. The hinge 3 connects the side support connecting plate 12 and the cover plate 2, allowing the cover plate to be easily opened and closed, facilitating operation by the operator when assembling and disassembling the vehicle control unit housing.
[0036] Four sets of support pads 13 are provided, and the four sets of support pads 13 are located at the four corners of the lower side of the base plate body 11. The support pads 13 located at the four corners of the base plate body 11 can evenly distribute the weight of the outer shell 5, reduce local pressure on the base plate body, and prevent deformation of the base plate. The support pads 13 can also play a cushioning role, protecting the outer shell 5 from damage during placement and operation.
[0037] A hand slot 111 is provided above the base plate body 11, and the hand slot 111 is located on the lower front side of the outer casing 5. The hand slot 111 provides space for the operator to manually grasp or place the outer casing. The hand slot helps to position the outer casing, ensuring its correct position on the fixture and reducing assembly errors.
[0038] Example 3, based on Example 2, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 Explanation:
[0039] The limiting support assembly 4 includes: a first corner seat 41 and a second corner seat 42. Each of the first corner seat 41 and the second corner seat 42 is provided in two sets. Through the precise limiting of the first corner seat 41 and the second corner seat 42, the adjustment and calibration time can be reduced, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0040] Two sets of first corner brackets 41 and two sets of second corner brackets 42 are arranged in parallel at the four corners of the upper side of the support base plate 1. The first corner brackets 41 and the second corner brackets 42 are used to support and limit the outer shell 5. The first corner brackets 41 and the second corner brackets 42 are arranged at the four corners of the support base plate 1 to support and limit the outer shell 5, ensuring that the outer shell is in a fixed position and will not move during operation, thereby improving assembly accuracy.
[0041] The first corner bracket 41 and the second corner bracket 42 have the same structure, both being L-shaped. The L-shaped design provides a stable support point, ensuring the housing remains stable during screw tightening and reducing assembly errors caused by vibration. The identical structure of the first corner bracket 41 and the second corner bracket 42 simplifies spare parts management and maintenance.
[0042] The first corner bracket 41 includes a support surface 411, a first limiting surface 412, a second limiting surface 413, and a transition surface 414. The support surface 411 is perpendicular to the first limiting surface 412, the second limiting surface 413, and the transition surface 414, respectively. The first limiting surface 412 and the second limiting surface 413 are perpendicular to each other, which can limit different surfaces of the shell and ensure the correct position of the shell in multiple directions.
[0043] The first limiting surface 412 is connected to the second limiting surface 413 via a transition surface 414. The first limiting surface 412 and the second limiting surface 413 are set perpendicularly, and the transition surface 414 is an arc surface. The arc surface transition can reduce stress concentration and avoid damage to the outer shell during the limiting process.
[0044] Example 4, based on Example 3, combined with Figure 6 Explanation:
[0045] A label 8 is provided on one side of the prefabricated screw through hole 6. This design allows workers to quickly identify the location where screws need to be driven.
[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, open the cover plate 2, then place the housing 5 of the vehicle control unit between the first corner bracket 41 and the second corner bracket 42 to fix it. Then, close the cover plate 2, and screw into the screw hole 7 on the housing 5 of the vehicle control unit through the pre-made screw through hole 6. This utility model has a reasonable structure and is easy to use. It can quickly, accurately and stably install screws onto the housing 5 of the vehicle control unit, avoiding screw position displacement caused by workpiece movement during screwing.
