Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an on-board control device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of vehicle electrification and intelligence, physical buttons and control switches in vehicles have been simplified, and more and more customers are choosing aftermarket vehicle control devices to control certain functions of the vehicle.

[0003] Vehicle control units are typically powered by button batteries, which have limited battery life. In related technologies, battery replacement requires disassembling the entire vehicle control unit, which may damage its structure and the mounting structure between the control unit and the vehicle, impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an in-vehicle control device and a vehicle, which aims to improve the poor user experience caused by the inconvenience of battery replacement.

[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose an in-vehicle control device, comprising: a housing including a base and a frame connected to the base, the base and the frame forming a receiving groove; a control component including a circuit board disposed within the receiving groove, the circuit board, the frame and the base forming a power supply cavity; and a power supply component disposed within the power supply cavity and electrically connected to the control component; wherein the base is rotatable relative to the frame between a first position and a second position, the base being detachable relative to the frame when in the first position, and the base being locked relative to the frame when in the second position.

[0007] The vehicle control device of this application, by setting the frame and base as a rotating snap-fit ​​connection structure, allows for quick replacement of power supply components such as the battery within the power supply cavity without damaging the installation structure of the vehicle control device and the vehicle. This also prevents damage to the various components of the vehicle control device, thereby improving the reliability and convenience of battery replacement and ultimately enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, since the frame and base must be rotated before they can be separated, the base will not accidentally detach from the frame during vehicle operation, even when encountering bumps or vibrations. This also improves the structural stability of the vehicle control device, thereby enhancing its reliability and safety.

[0008] In some embodiments, the edge of the base is provided with at least one abutment member, the abutment member having a first mating surface; the inner wall of the frame is provided with a circumferential protrusion, the protrusion having a second mating surface for abutting against the first mating surface, and the protrusion also having a through groove for the abutment member to pass through; the base is rotatably fitted inside the frame. Based on the above structure, switching between a first position and a second position between the base and the frame can be realized, thereby conveniently realizing the separation or locking between the base and the frame. This is beneficial to improving the reliability and convenience of battery replacement in the vehicle control device, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, it is also beneficial to improve the structural stability of the vehicle control device, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the vehicle control device.

[0009] In some embodiments, the frame includes a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame that are detachably connected, with the second sub-frame located between the first sub-frame and the base; the protrusion is integrally formed on the inner wall of the second sub-frame, and the upper surface of the protrusion is flush with the upper surface of the second sub-frame. In this embodiment, by dividing the frame into a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame, these two sub-frames can be molded separately during injection molding. Each sub-frame has a relatively simple shape, and draft angles and demolding methods can be designed separately. This improves the efficiency and yield of frame manufacturing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the protrusion is further provided with a locking block, the locking block having a first locking portion and the abutment having a second locking portion; when the base is in the second position, the first mating surface abuts against the second mating surface, and the first locking portion and the second locking portion cooperate with each other to circumferentially limit the base and the frame. When the base and the frame are separated, a certain external force needs to be applied, which needs to overcome the mating resistance between the first locking portion and the second locking portion, so that the two can rotate relative to each other. This arrangement can reduce the probability of the base or frame rotating due to vehicle vibration, unexpected external torsion, etc., thereby helping to further improve the structural stability and reliability of the vehicle control device.

[0011] In some embodiments, the base has at least one abutment at its edge, the abutment having a first mating surface; the outer wall of the frame has an annular protrusion along its circumference, the protrusion having a second mating surface for abutting against the first mating surface, and the protrusion also having a through groove for the abutment to pass through; the base is rotatably fitted onto the outside of the frame. This embodiment can also realize the switching between a first position and a second position between the base and the frame, thereby conveniently realizing the separation or locking between the base and the frame. This is beneficial to improving the reliability and convenience of battery replacement in the vehicle control device, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, it is beneficial to improve the structural stability of the vehicle control device, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the vehicle control device.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the base is locked to the frame, the surface of the base facing away from the frame is flush with the end face of the frame near the base, and the base has at least one disassembly notch. This design improves the aesthetics of the housing and enhances the ease of disassembling the base, thereby facilitating the maintenance and repair of the vehicle control device. Optionally, the number of disassembly notches can be two, symmetrically arranged along the edges of the base, further improving the ease of disassembly.

[0013] In some embodiments, a first mark is provided on the frame, and a second mark is provided on the base. When the first mark and the second mark are aligned, the base is in the second position. By setting the first mark and the second mark, it can be determined whether the base is in the correct position when rotated to the second position. This makes the installation or removal of the base more accurate and convenient, and the positioning of the base can be accurately completed based on the alignment of the first mark and the second mark, thereby improving the success rate and efficiency of the removal or installation of the base and frame.

[0014] In some embodiments, the vehicle control device further includes an adhesive component disposed on the surface of the base opposite to the frame. The adhesive component, in conjunction with the rotating snap-fit ​​connection between the base and the frame, can further improve the reliability and convenience of battery replacement for the vehicle control device, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0015] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly includes: a battery; a first conductive element connected to the circuit board and located between the battery and the circuit board; a second conductive element including a main body and a bent portion, the main body being connected to the circuit board and located between the inner wall of the frame and the side wall of the battery, the bent portion being located on the side surface of the battery facing away from the circuit board; and a buffer element disposed between the battery and the base. With this configuration, firstly, the battery can supply power to the circuit board through the first and second conductive elements to realize the control function of the vehicle control device. Secondly, the second conductive element, including the main body and the bent portion, can form a slot for accommodating a portion of the battery structure, allowing the second conductive element to also limit the battery's position, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of battery installation. Thirdly, by providing a buffer element, damage to the battery due to external forces can be avoided, thereby improving battery safety and lifespan.

[0016] Secondly, this application proposes a vehicle including the vehicle control device described in the first aspect. The vehicle has a cabin, and the vehicle control device is detachably installed within the cabin. This allows for the rapid replacement of power supply components, such as the battery, within the power supply chamber without damaging the installation structure of the vehicle control device and the vehicle, and also without damaging the various components of the vehicle control device. This improves the reliability and convenience of battery replacement for the vehicle control device, thereby enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, since the frame and base need to be rotated before they can be separated, this ensures that even during vehicle operation, when encountering bumps or vibrations, the base will not accidentally separate from the frame. This also improves the structural stability of the vehicle control device, thereby enhancing its reliability and safety. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0034] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the accompanying drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides an in-vehicle control device 10. The in-vehicle control device 10 includes a housing 400, a control component 100, and a power supply component 300. The housing 400 includes a base 410 and a frame 420 connected to the base 410. The base 410 and the frame 420 together form a receiving groove 401. The control component 100 includes a circuit board 110 disposed within the receiving groove 401. The circuit board 110, the frame 420, and the base 410 together form a power supply cavity 4011. The power supply component 300 is disposed within the power supply cavity 4011 and electrically connected to the control component 100. The base 410 is rotatable relative to the frame 420 between a first position and a second position. When the base 410 is in the first position, it is detachable from the frame 420. When the base 410 is in the second position, it is locked relative to the frame 420.

[0038] The vehicle control device 10 can control various functions in the vehicle with a single button. For example, the vehicle control device 10 can control the vehicle multimedia system such as music playback, radio station switching, and video playback; the in-vehicle environmental control system such as air conditioning temperature adjustment, ventilation mode switching, and seat heating and ventilation; and the vehicle safety system such as door lock control and window lifting.

[0039] The vehicle control device 10 includes a housing 400, a control component 100, and a power supply component 300. The housing 400 serves as the outer shell of the vehicle control device 10, housing the control component 100 and the power supply component 300. Specifically, the housing 400 includes a base 410 and a frame 420, which together form a receiving groove 401. The control component 100 includes a circuit board 110, which is disposed within the receiving groove 401, dividing the receiving groove 410 into two sub-cavities along its depth. The sub-cavity of the circuit board 110 near the base 410 is the power supply cavity 4011, and the power supply component 300 is disposed within the power supply cavity 4011. Therefore, firstly, the power supply component 300 and the circuit board 110 can be protected from external physical impacts, dust and debris intrusion, and moisture corrosion. Secondly, using the circuit board 110 to divide the receiving groove 401 also improves the structural compactness of the vehicle control device 10, achieving its miniaturization requirements.

[0040] The vehicle control unit 10 is typically installed in the vehicle's cabin in a detachable manner. In related technologies, the vehicle control unit is fixed to the dashboard in the driver's cabin by adhesive bonding. When replacing the battery, the vehicle control unit must first be removed and then disassembled. This process may damage the adhesive bonding; or, the components of the vehicle control unit may be damaged beyond repair, or even if they can be repaired, it will waste a lot of assembly time.

[0041] In this application, the base 410 of the housing 400 can rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the frame 420. When the base 410 is in the first position, it can separate from the frame 420; when the base 410 is in the second position, it can lock relative to the frame 420. That is, the base 410 and the frame 420 can rotate relative to each other, thus achieving a rotatable snap-fit ​​connection. After the vehicle control device 10 is fixed in the cabin, if the battery does not need to be replaced, the user can rotate the frame 420 to position the base 410 in the second position relative to the frame 420. This locks the base 410 and the frame 420, preventing them from being plugged in or removed. This ensures a secure installation of the vehicle control device 10. If the battery needs to be replaced, the user can rotate the frame 420 to position the base 410 in the first position relative to the frame 420. This allows the base 410 and the frame 420 to separate. In this configuration, the base 410 remains fixed to the dashboard, while the power supply cavity 4011 is opened, allowing the user to replace the power supply component 300, such as the battery, within the cavity. After replacement, the frame 420 is installed on the base 410, and then the frame 420 is rotated to move the base 410 from the first position to the second position. This ensures the vehicle control device 10 is securely installed once again.

[0042] Based on the above process, it can be seen that the vehicle control device 10 of this application, by setting the frame 420 and the base 410 as a rotating snap-fit ​​connection structure, can quickly replace the power supply component 300, such as the battery, in the power supply cavity 4011 without damaging the installation structure of the vehicle control device 10 and the vehicle, and at the same time, it will not damage the various components of the vehicle control device 10. This is beneficial to improving the reliability and convenience of battery replacement of the vehicle control device 10, and thus improving the user experience. In addition, since the frame 420 and the base 410 need to be rotated before they can be separated, it can be ensured that even if bumps or vibrations are encountered during vehicle operation, the base 410 will not accidentally separate from the frame 420. This also helps to improve the structural stability of the vehicle control device 10, and thus helps to improve the reliability and safety of the vehicle control device 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle control device 10 also includes a pressing assembly 200, which is movably mounted in the slot of the receiving groove 401. The control assembly 100 also includes a trigger element 120 disposed on the circuit board 110, located on the side of the circuit board 110 opposite to the power supply cavity 4011. In this way, along the depth direction of the receiving groove 401, the pressing assembly 200 can move a certain distance relative to the housing 400, thereby transmitting pressing force to the trigger element 120.

[0044] Optionally, the pressing assembly 200 includes a pressing member 210 and a transmission member 220 connected to each other. The pressing assembly 200 can be movably mounted in the opening of the receiving groove 401, for example, by having the transmission member 220 disposed within the receiving groove 401, having a third mating part 223 on the transmission member 220, and having a fourth mating part 402 on the inner wall of the groove of the housing 400. The third mating part 223 is engaged with the fourth mating part 402, and the third mating part 223 can move relative to the fourth mating part 402 along the depth direction of the receiving groove 401. Thus, when the external force is less than a preset value, the transmission member 220 cannot disengage from the receiving groove 401, while still having a certain stroke, thereby providing pressing force to the trigger element 120. It is understood that the movable connection between the pressing assembly 200 and the housing 400 is not limited to the above-described manner, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0045] The following explains the specific working principle of the vehicle control device 10:

[0046] First, the user applies pressure to the pressing assembly 200. The pressing assembly 200 transmits the force to the trigger element 120. The trigger element 120 receives the pressing force from the pressing assembly 200. Under the action of the pressing force, the trigger element 120 itself can generate a state change, thereby transmitting an electrical signal to the circuit board 110. The trigger element 120 can be a microswitch, a pressure sensor, a reed, conductive rubber, or other type of pressure sensing element. The circuit board 110 receives and processes the circuit signal transmitted from the trigger element 120, and converts the circuit signal into a control signal, thereby realizing the control of the vehicle functions.

[0047] Typically, the vehicle control device 10 also integrates a wireless communication module, which is mounted on the circuit board 110. This wireless communication module can be, for example, a Bluetooth module. In this way, the vehicle control device 10 can establish a communication connection with the vehicle's infotainment system via the Bluetooth module. The circuit board 110 transmits control signals to the infotainment system via the Bluetooth module. The infotainment system identifies the control signals from the circuit board 110 based on a preset correspondence between control signals and functions, and executes the corresponding vehicle functions.

[0048] In other words, when the trigger element 120 of the vehicle control device 10 is triggered, the circuit board 110 transmits the processed control signal to the vehicle's infotainment system via Bluetooth module, thereby triggering the user-defined vehicle functions. Thus, users can configure the specific control functions of the vehicle control device 10 on the vehicle's infotainment system according to their actual needs and preferences, thereby achieving customized functionality of the vehicle control device 10. Furthermore, one-button control of vehicle functions is achieved through the vehicle control device 10. Compared to the cumbersome operation steps on the vehicle's infotainment screen in related technologies, this improves the convenience of controlling vehicle functions, thereby enhancing user experience and driving safety.

[0049] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to achieve a rotating snap-fit ​​connection between the frame 420 and the base 410.

[0050] For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the edge of the base 410 is provided with at least one abutment 411, the abutment 411 has a first mating surface 4111, the inner wall of the frame 420 is provided with a protrusion 421 along the circumferential direction, the protrusion 421 has a second mating surface 4211 for abutting with the first mating surface 4111, the protrusion 421 is also provided with a through groove 4212 for the abutment 411 to pass through, and the base 410 is rotatably fitted inside the frame 420.

[0051] The base 410 has an abutment 411 on its edge. The abutment 411 can be a single piece or multiple pieces spaced apart, such as three or four. The second mating surface 4211 of the protrusion 421 and the first mating surface 4111 of the abutment 411 can abut against each other, thereby achieving a locking function between the base 410 and the frame 420 in the height direction at the second position. Simultaneously, the protrusion 421 has a through groove 4212, allowing the abutment 411 to pass through, providing the foundation for the base 410 to be fitted inside the frame 420 and for subsequent rotation operations.

[0052] It is understandable that, since the base 410 is located below the frame 420, when the first mating surface 4111 and the second mating surface 4211 abut against each other, the upper surface of the protrusion 421 is the second mating surface 4211, and the abutting member 411 is located on the protrusion 421, and the lower surface of the abutting member 411 is the first mating surface 4111.

[0053] In this embodiment, during assembly, the abutment 411 of the base 410 is first aligned with the through groove 4212 on the protrusion 421 of the frame 420, and then the base 410 is fitted into the interior of the frame 420. At this time, the base 410 is initially located inside the frame 420, and the base 410 is in a first position relative to the frame 420, and the two can be separated.

[0054] Then, depending on the actual situation, either the base 410 or the frame 420 can be rotated. For example, if the base 410 is not fixed inside the vehicle, it can be rotated; if the base 410 is fixed inside the vehicle, the frame 420 can be rotated. The following explanation will use the rotating base 410 as an example. During rotation, the abutment 411 moves along with the base 410, and its first mating surface 4111 gradually rotates to abut against the second mating surface 4211 of the protrusion 421. After rotating through a certain angle, the first mating surface 4111 will completely abut against the second mating surface 4211 of the protrusion 421. At this time, the base 410 relative to the frame 420 switches from the first position to the second position, and a lock is achieved between the base 410 and the frame 420.

[0055] Based on the above structure, the base 410 and the frame 420 can be switched between a first position and a second position, thereby facilitating the separation or locking of the base 410 and the frame 420. This improves the reliability and convenience of battery replacement in the vehicle control device 10, thus enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, it improves the structural stability of the vehicle control device 10, thereby enhancing its reliability and safety.

[0056] It should be noted that the protrusion 421 is formed on the inner wall of the frame 420. In some embodiments, the inner surface of the protrusion 421 can be adapted to the outer wall surface of the base 410. In this way, on the one hand, the ease of assembly of the base 410 and the frame 420 can be improved, and on the other hand, relative rotation can occur between the base 410 and the frame 420 under the action of external force.

[0057] For example, in other embodiments, the edge of the base 410 is provided with at least one abutment (not shown in the figure), the abutment has a first mating surface, the outer wall of the frame 420 is provided with a protrusion (not shown in the figure) along the circumferential direction, the protrusion has a second mating surface for abutting with the first mating surface, the protrusion is also provided with a through groove for the abutment to pass through, and the base 410 is rotatably fitted onto the outside of the frame 420.

[0058] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the base 410 is fitted onto the outside of the frame 420, and correspondingly, a protrusion is provided on the outer wall surface of the frame 420. This embodiment can also switch between a first position and a second position between the base 410 and the frame 420, thereby conveniently realizing the separation or locking of the base 410 and the frame 420. This improves the reliability and convenience of battery replacement for the vehicle control device 10, thereby enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, it improves the structural stability of the vehicle control device 10, thus improving its reliability and safety.

[0059] This application provides two exemplary embodiments for achieving a rotatable snap-fit ​​connection between the base 410 and the frame 420. It is understood that in actual design and application, it is not limited to these two embodiments. Any embodiment that can achieve separation of the two in the first position and locking in the second position is acceptable.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the frame 420 includes a first sub-frame 422 and a second sub-frame 423 that are detachably connected. The second sub-frame 423 is located between the first sub-frame 422 and the base 410. The protrusion 421 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the second sub-frame 423, and the upper surface of the protrusion 421 is flush with the upper surface of the second sub-frame 423.

[0061] This embodiment presents a specific structure for the frame 420. The frame 420 is a split structure, comprising a first sub-frame 422 and a second sub-frame 423, which can be connected in various detachable ways, such as snap-fits, slots, and connectors. Specifically, as shown... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first sub-frame 422 is provided with a first mating part 4221, and the second sub-frame 423 is provided with a second mating part 4231. The second mating part 4231 and the first mating part 4221 are engaged.

[0062] The protrusion 421 is located on the inner wall of the second sub-frame 423, and the two can be formed into an integral structure through injection molding. Furthermore, the upper surface of the protrusion 421 is flush with the upper surface of the second sub-frame 423, thereby improving the ease of alignment and installation of the first sub-frame 422 and the second sub-frame 423. In this case, the second mating surface 4211 effectively extends to the upper surface of the second sub-frame 423.

[0063] In this embodiment, the frame 420 is configured as a detachable first sub-frame 422 and a second sub-frame 423. This is because if the frame 420 were a single, integral structure, it would be impossible to complete the demolding process during injection molding. By dividing the frame 420 into the first sub-frame 422 and the second sub-frame 423, these two sub-frames can be molded separately during injection molding. Each sub-frame has a relatively simple shape, and draft angles and demolding methods can be designed independently. This improves the efficiency and yield rate of frame 420 manufacturing.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 9As shown, the protrusion 421 also has a third mating surface 4213 opposite to the second mating surface 4211, which is used to abut against the base 410. That is, the third mating surface 4213 can realize the positioning of the base 410 and the frame 420 in the height direction, thereby improving the ease of assembly of the base 410.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the protrusion 421 is also provided with a locking block 424. The locking block 424 is provided with a first locking part 4241, and the abutment 411 is provided with a second locking part 4112. When the base 410 is in the second position, the first mating surface 4111 abuts against the second mating surface 4211, and the first locking part 4241 and the second locking part 4112 cooperate with each other to circumferentially limit the base 410 and the frame 420.

[0066] In this embodiment, the protrusion 421 is also provided with a locking block 424. The locking block 424 can be integrally formed with the protrusion 421, thereby improving the ease of manufacturing the locking block 424. The locking block 424 is provided with a first locking portion 4241, and the abutment 411 is provided with a second locking portion 4112. The first locking portion 4241 can be, for example, one of a groove and a protrusion, and the second locking portion 4112 can be, for example, the other of a groove and a protrusion. Thus, when the base 410 rotates to the second position, firstly, the first mating surface 4111 of the abutment 411 abuts against the second mating surface 4211 of the protrusion 421, restricting the relative movement of the base 410 and the frame 420 in the height direction, playing a preliminary positioning and stabilizing role. Secondly, the first locking portion 4241 of the locking block 424 and the second locking portion 4112 of the abutment 411 cooperate with each other, providing a second restriction on the base 410 and the frame 420 in the circumferential direction. When separating the base 410 and the frame 420, a certain external force needs to be applied. This external force needs to overcome the resistance between the first latching part 4241 and the second latching part 4112 to allow relative rotation between the two. This arrangement can reduce the probability of the base 410 or the frame 420 rotating due to vehicle vibration, unexpected external torsion, etc., thereby further improving the structural stability and reliability of the vehicle control device 10.

[0067] It is understandable that when the first engaging portion 4241 of the locking block 424 and the second engaging portion 4112 of the abutment member 411 engage with each other, it indicates that the base 410 is in the second position relative to the frame 420. That is, the first engaging portion 4241 and the second engaging portion 4112 can also serve as a reminder that the rotation has been completed.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, when the base 410 is locked to the frame 420, the surface of the base 410 facing away from the frame 420 is flush with the end face of the frame 420 near the base 410, and the base 410 has at least one disassembly notch 412. This design improves the aesthetics of the housing 400 and facilitates the disassembly of the base 410, thereby enhancing the ease of maintenance and repair of the vehicle control device 10. Optionally, the number of disassembly notches 412 can be two, symmetrically arranged along the edge of the base 410, further improving the ease of disassembly.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, a first identifier 425 is provided on the frame 420, and a second identifier 413 is provided on the base 410. When the first identifier 425 and the second identifier 413 are aligned, the base 410 is in the second position. In this embodiment, the first identifier 425 and the second identifier 413 can be, for example, raised dots, lines, small geometric shapes such as triangles, circles, etc., or symbols, numbers, or patterns presented by printing, engraving, etc. By setting the first identifier 425 and the second identifier 413, it can be determined whether the base 410 is in place when rotated to the second position. In this way, the operation of installing or removing the base 410 is more accurate and convenient. Based on the alignment of the first identifier 425 and the second identifier 413, the positioning of the base 410 can be accurately completed, thereby improving the success rate and efficiency of the installation or removal of the base 410 and the frame 420.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle control device 10 also includes an adhesive component 800, which is disposed on the surface of the base 410 opposite to the frame 420. In this embodiment, the vehicle control device 10 is installed in the vehicle using the adhesive component 800. Compared to other installation methods such as screw fixing or clip fixing, the installation operation using the adhesive component 800 is simpler. The adhesive component 800, in conjunction with the rotating clip connection between the base 410 and the frame 420, can further improve the reliability and convenience of battery replacement for the vehicle control device 10, thereby further enhancing the user experience.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 10As shown, the power supply assembly 300 includes a battery 310, a first conductive element 320, a second conductive element 330, and a buffer element 340. The first conductive element 320 is located between the battery 310 and the circuit board 110 and is connected to the circuit board 110. The second conductive element 330 includes a main body 331 and a bent portion 332. The main body 331 is connected to the circuit board 110 and is located between the side wall of the battery 310 and the side wall of the frame 420. The bent portion 332 is located on the side surface of the battery 310 away from the circuit board. The buffer element 340 is disposed between the battery 310 and the base 410.

[0072] The battery 310 can be, for example, a button cell. The first conductive element 320 and the second conductive element 330 can be conductive springs. The first conductive element 320 can contact the negative terminal of the battery 310, and the second conductive element 330 can contact the positive terminal of the battery 310. The buffer element 340 can be, for example, a rubber pad to provide cushioning to the battery 310. With this configuration, firstly, the battery 310 can supply power to the circuit board 110 through the first conductive element 320 and the second conductive element 330 to realize the control function of the vehicle control device 10. Secondly, the second conductive element 330 includes a main body 331 and a bent portion 332. The main body 331 and the bent portion 332 can form a slot to accommodate a portion of the battery 310, allowing the second conductive element 330 to also limit the position of the battery 310, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of battery 310 installation. Thirdly, by providing the buffer element 340, damage to the battery 310 due to external forces can be avoided, thereby improving the safety and lifespan of the battery 310.

[0073] Secondly, this application proposes a vehicle including the vehicle control device 10 described in the first aspect. The vehicle has a cabin, and the vehicle control device 10 is detachably installed in the cabin. Optionally, the vehicle control device 10 can be installed in the cabin in a way that facilitates detachment, such as by adhesive, magnetic attraction, or bracket snap-fit. In this case, the vehicle control device 10 communicates with the vehicle's infotainment system via a wireless communication module. The vehicle control device 10 can be added as an optional accessory to the vehicle.

[0074] The vehicle of this application has an on-board control device 10 as described in the first aspect installed in the cabin. The frame 420 and the base 410 are connected by a rotating snap-fit ​​structure, allowing for quick replacement of the power supply components 300, such as the battery, within the power supply chamber 4011 without damaging the installation structure of the on-board control device 10 and the vehicle, and without damaging any components of the on-board control device 10. This improves the reliability and convenience of battery replacement for the on-board control device 10, thereby enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, since the frame 420 and the base 410 need to be rotated before they can be separated, it ensures that the base 410 will not accidentally separate from the frame 420 during vehicle operation, even in the event of bumps or vibrations. This also improves the structural stability of the on-board control device 10, thereby enhancing its reliability and safety.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
