[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive control technology, and in particular relates to a flashing device for controllers. Background Technology
[0002] With the country's vigorous promotion of the new energy vehicle industry and the arrival of the era of electric and intelligent vehicles, more and more vehicle controllers need to be flashed with software through the interface at the initialization station after the vehicle is assembled.
[0003] Traditional automotive software updaters are often designed for specific types of controllers, meaning that multiple sets of specialized equipment may be needed to update the software for different brands or models of vehicles. This not only increases initial investment costs but can also lead to increased maintenance complexity. Furthermore, the need for manual alignment of the controller and connector when replacing plugs wastes manpower. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a writing device for controllers, so as to solve the problem of poor versatility caused by using different writing devices for different controllers in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a writing device for a controller, comprising:

[0007] Multiple plugs are provided and installed on the main body;
[0008] A rotating mechanism, installed on one or both sides of the body, is used to control the rotation of the body;
[0009] A clamping mechanism for clamping the controller and inserting or detaching it from the plug.
[0010] Furthermore, the cross-section of the body is square, and the plurality of plugs are arranged along the circumference of the body.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating power source and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is installed on one or both sides of the main body, and the rotating power source is used to control the rotation of the rotating shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism also includes a lifting assembly, which is used to control the rotational power and the lifting of the main body.
[0013] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail, the first guide rail being arranged parallel to the body; the second guide rail being mounted on the first guide rail, and the second guide rail being moved relative to the first guide rail by a first driving force; a positioning block is mounted on the second guide rail, and the positioning block being moved relative to the second guide rail by a second driving force.
[0014] Furthermore, the first guide rail is provided with two second guide rails, and each second guide rail is provided with two positioning blocks; each positioning block is provided with a positioning boss.
[0015] Furthermore, the positioning block is provided with a detachable positioning pin.

[0028] In order to describe the present invention in detail, the following is a specific description of the writing device for the controller provided by the present invention.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a writing device for a controller, including a body 1, a plug 2, a rotating mechanism 3, and a clamping mechanism 4. The plug 2 is mounted on the body 1. To save space, the plug 2 is arranged circumferentially along the body 1. The body 1 has an internal cavity, through which wire harnesses can pass from one side of the body 1 into the cavity and connect to each plug 2. Alternatively, a circuit board can be installed inside the body 1, with the wire harness entering the body 1 and connecting to the circuit board, and the plug 2 passing through the body 1 and connecting to the circuit board.
[0030] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the body 1 is square. Existing plugs 2 are generally square in shape. If the cross-section of the body 1 is circular, gaps exist at the connection between the plug 2 and the body 1, allowing dust and other contaminants to enter the cavity. The square cross-section design makes the connection between the plug 2 and the body 1 tighter, reducing gaps and effectively preventing dust, dirt, and other impurities from entering the cavity of the body 1. The sealing effect can be further enhanced by using a sealing ring or gasket between the plug 2 and the body 1, ensuring waterproof and dustproof performance at the connection point.
[0031] Furthermore, by setting the cross-section of the main body 1 to be square, plugs 2 can be installed on all four sides of the main body 1. The square cross-section is also suitable for mounting circuit boards. Since the plugs 2 are distributed on the four sides, only a 90° rotation is needed each time to rotate the next plug 2 into place. This simplifies the design of the rotating mechanism 3 and improves the accuracy and efficiency of operation.
[0032] The rotating mechanism 3 controls the rotation of the main body 1, causing the corresponding plug 2 to rotate into position and connect to the controller. The rotating mechanism 3 can be installed on one or both sides of the main body 1. If the main body 1 has only one set of plugs 2 and its length is relatively short, the rotating mechanism 3 can be installed on only one side. If the main body 1 has multiple sets of plugs 2, such as... Figure 4 As shown, since the body 1 is relatively long, a rotating mechanism 3 is installed on both sides of the body 1. This provides better support for the body 1. The rotating mechanisms 3 on both sides control the rotation synchronously to prevent the body 1 from tilting or becoming unbalanced during rotation.
[0033] In detail, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a rotating power 31 and a rotating shaft 32. The rotating shaft 32 is installed on one or both sides of the body 1. The rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the body 1. The rotation of the rotating shaft 32 drives the body 1 to rotate.
[0034] The rotating shaft 32 is controlled to rotate by a rotating power source 31. The rotating power source 31 can be driven electrically, such as by a servo motor or a stepper motor, or pneumatically or hydraulically. In some embodiments, the rotating power source 31 is a servo motor, which allows for more precise control of the angle of rotation of the rotating shaft 32 each time, resulting in a more accurate position of the plug 2. A support base can be installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 32, through which the rotating shaft 32 connects to the rotating power source 31. The support base provides support to the rotating shaft 32, preventing it from shifting or vibrating.
[0035] The main body 1 is provided with multiple plugs 2 of different types. Although the plugs 2 on each side are installed on the center line of each side as much as possible, sometimes due to interference or other problems, the plugs 2 may not be installed on the center line of the corresponding side. After the plugs 2 are rotated, their center heights may be different. Therefore, in some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 3 is also provided with a lifting component 33. The height of the main body 1 is controlled by the lifting component 33 so that the plugs 2 on each side are at the same horizontal height when writing, which facilitates the movement of the clamping mechanism.
[0036] The lifting component 33 only needs to enable the main body to lift. In some embodiments, the lifting component 33 includes a lifting power and a connecting block. The connecting block is installed at the output end of the lifting power, and the lifting power controls the lifting of the connecting block. The rotation power 31 is installed on the connecting block.
[0037] Because manually aligning the controller with plug 2 is time-consuming, in some embodiments, a mechanical method is used to connect the controller to plug 2. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a clamping mechanism 4 is installed on the front of the main body 1. The controller is clamped or positioned by the clamping mechanism 4. Then the controller is moved to the main body 1 and connected to the plug 2. During the writing process, the clamping mechanism 4 provides support for the controller. When the writing is completed, the clamping mechanism 4 removes the controller from the plug 2.
[0038] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a first guide rail 41 and a second guide rail 42. The first guide rail 41 is arranged parallel to the body 1, and the second guide rail 42 is mounted on the first guide rail 41. To facilitate the movement of the second guide rail 42, two first guide rails 41 are provided, both of which are parallel to the body 1 and are spaced apart, with one of the first guide rails 41 being closer to the body 1.
[0039] The second guide rail 42 is located between the two first guide rails 41, and is perpendicular to the first guide rails 41. The second guide rail 42 moves relative to the first guide rails 41 by a first driving force, which can be a motor or other power source. The second guide rail 42 and the first guide rail 41 can be connected by gears and racks, so that each second guide rail 42 can be controlled independently. The connection between the second guide rail 42 and the first guide rail 41 can also be in other ways, as long as the movement of each second guide rail 42 relative to the first guide rail 41 is independent.
[0040] A positioning block 43 is mounted on the second guide rail 42. The positioning block 43 moves relative to the second guide rail 42 via a second driving force. The connection between the positioning block 43 and the second guide rail 42 can be the same as the connection between the second guide rail 42 and the first guide rail 41. Each positioning block 43 is controlled independently. The control box acquires the position data of each first driving force and each second driving force to obtain the position of each positioning block 43. The first guide rail 41 and the second guide rail 42 form a two-dimensional clamping platform. The positioning block 43 can move relative to the second guide rail 42, and the second guide rail 42 can move relative to the first guide rail 41, thus changing the position of the positioning block 43.
[0041] In some embodiments, one positioning block 43 can be installed on each second guide rail 42, so that two positioning blocks 43 can clamp the two sides of the controller. However, in order to better clamp and move the controller, two positioning blocks 43 are installed on each second guide rail 42 in this embodiment, which is equivalent to using four positioning blocks 43 to clamp the controller. Each of the four positioning blocks 43 is provided with a positioning boss 44, and the positioning boss 44 is located on the side closer to the other second guide rail 42. In this way, when the four positioning blocks 43 clamp the four corners of the controller, the four corners of the controller are all located on the four positioning bosses 44, which can further position the controller and prevent the controller's position from changing during the sliding process.
[0042] Some controllers are bracket-type, so the positioning boss 44 cannot clamp the controller. In some embodiments, a positioning pin 45 is also installed on the positioning block 43 to position the bracket-type controller. The positioning pin 45 is threadedly connected to the positioning block 43. Different positioning pins can be replaced for different controllers.
[0043] In some embodiments, to prevent the positioning block 43 from damaging the controller, the positioning block 43 is made of a softer material, such as rubber.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the writing device also includes a frame 5 and a control cabinet 6, and casters can be installed at the bottom of the frame 5 and the control cabinet 6. The main body 1, the clamping mechanism 4, and the lifting assembly 33 are all mounted on the frame 5.
[0045] In order to enable simultaneous writing to multiple devices, in some embodiments, the rack 5 is provided with multiple placement layers 51, and each placement layer 51 is equipped with a body 1 and a clamping mechanism 4.
[0046] In detail, each placement layer 51 can be added vertically from bottom to top, or it can be added in a stepped manner. In this embodiment, the placement layers 51 are in a stepped manner, so that the upper part of each placement layer 51 is not blocked, and the body 1 will not interfere when it rotates.
[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, each body 1 has multiple sets of plugs 2 arranged along its axial direction, so that each body can write to multiple devices, and each set of plugs 2 is provided with a clamping mechanism 4. To facilitate the adjustment of the height of the plugs 2, the plugs on each body 1 are arranged in the same manner. The first guide rail 41 of the clamping mechanism 4 on each placement layer 51 can be integral or separate. The second guide rail 42 and the positioning block 43 of each set of clamping mechanisms 4 are controlled independently.
[0048] like Figure 1As shown in the example, three placement layers 51 are set on the rack 5, and a main body 1 is installed on each placement layer 51. Each main body 1 is equipped with four sets of plugs 2, and four clamping mechanisms 4 are set accordingly, which means that 12 sets of devices can be written at the same time.
[0049] Specifically, each plug 2 is numbered, and with one point on the rack 5 as the origin, the coordinates of each plug 2 are obtained. These coordinates include the horizontal coordinate along the axis of the body 1, the vertical coordinate along the axis of the second guide rail 42, and the height coordinate along the height direction of the rack 5, thus obtaining the three-dimensional coordinates of each plug 2. The height coordinate can be set with the height of each placement layer 51 as the origin.
[0050] The control cabinet 6 houses an industrial computer, an electrical control box, and a communication box. The control cabinet 6 also features a display and operation keys, allowing users to select the model of the device to be flashed. The electrical control box controls the rotational power 31, the lifting assembly 33, and the first and second drive powers.
[0051] Working process: First, the signal from the writing device is selected. After receiving the signal, the industrial control computer determines which plug to use for writing. The plug 2 corresponding to the writing device is rotated into position. The lifting assembly 33 raises and lowers the corresponding body 1 to meet the preset controller height. The clamping mechanism 4 clamps the controller and moves it to the corresponding plug 2. Then, the controller and plug 2 are engaged, and the industrial control computer performs the writing process. After writing is complete, the clamping mechanism 4 separates the controller from the plug 2. The controller can be placed in a preset position, allowing the clamping mechanism 4 to grip it according to a preset path. The controller can also be placed onto the clamping mechanism 4 manually or by a robotic arm.
[0052] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
