Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of domain controller technology, and in particular to a domain controller bracket and a domain controller assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The intelligent driving domain controller is one of the core components of an intelligent driving system. It is responsible for integrating various perception data of the vehicle, performing calculations and decisions, and transmitting control commands to the actuators.

[0003] In related technologies, to meet customers' installation requirements for domain controllers, a separate domain controller bracket is often needed to fix the domain controller to the vehicle body. However, due to space constraints or variations in installation location, domain controllers sometimes need to be fixed to the vehicle body in a special posture. For example, due to limited installation space, the domain controller may be installed at an angle below the dashboard. In this case, during actual installation, the operator needs to hold the domain controller bracket and adjust its position before tightening the bolts. This installation method is inconvenient and prone to inaccurate positioning, resulting in low installation efficiency for the domain controller. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a domain controller bracket and a domain controller assembly, which solves the problems of inconvenient operation and low efficiency during domain controller installation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a domain controller bracket for fixing a domain controller to a vehicle body. The domain controller bracket includes:

[0006] Mounting rack for mounting domain controllers;

[0007] The first support arm is connected to the first side of the mounting frame and is provided with a first fixing structure;

[0008] The second support arm is connected to the second side of the mounting bracket and includes a boom and a positioning part. The boom is provided with a second fixing structure, and the positioning part is provided on the boom. The positioning part is used to position the body sheet metal so that the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure are aligned with the corresponding fixing positions on the body sheet metal.

[0009] In some embodiments, the positioning part is a hook, which is integrally disposed at the end of the boom away from the mounting frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the hook is L-shaped and includes a first bent portion extending along a first direction and a second bent portion extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first bent portion is connected between the second bent portion and the boom. The inner wall of the first bent portion is used to abut against the hooking surface of the vehicle body sheet metal, and the inner wall of the second bent portion is used to abut against the back of the vehicle body sheet metal.

[0011] In some embodiments, at least one side of the first support arm is provided with a first bent edge to form a first sinking platform reinforcement structure on the first support arm, and at least one side of the boom is provided with a second bent edge to form a second sinking platform reinforcement structure on the boom.

[0012] In some embodiments, both the first support arm and the boom include a first curved arm and a second curved arm. The first curved arm is integrally disposed on the mounting frame, and the second curved arm is integrally disposed at the end of the first curved arm away from the mounting frame. The bending direction of the second curved arm relative to the first curved arm is opposite to the bending direction of the first curved arm relative to the mounting frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first curved arm is provided with a convex reinforcing rib, and the connection between the first curved arm and the second curved arm is provided with a concave reinforcing rib. One end of the convex reinforcing rib extends to the concave reinforcing rib, and the other end extends to the mounting bracket.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket is provided with a recessed bulge structure and a weight reduction hole located at the center of the recessed bulge structure.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket is further provided with a plurality of mounting holes and a plurality of positioning holes. The positioning holes are used to position and engage with the positioning posts on the domain controller. Each mounting hole is arranged around the periphery of the recessed structure to allow the domain controller to be mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0016] In some embodiments, the number of positioning holes is two, one of which is set as a round hole and the other as an elliptical hole, with the round hole and the elliptical hole respectively located on both sides of the recessed structure.

[0017] This application also provides a domain controller assembly, including a domain controller and a domain controller bracket as described above, wherein the domain controller is mounted on the domain controller bracket and the domain controller bracket is used to fix to the vehicle body.

[0018] Compared to the aforementioned background technology, the domain controller bracket provided in this application embodiment is used to fix a domain controller to a vehicle body. The domain controller bracket includes a mounting frame, a first support arm, and a second support arm. The domain controller is mounted on the mounting frame, and the first and second support arms are respectively connected to a first side and a second side of the mounting frame. The first support arm has a first fixing structure, and the second support arm includes a boom and a positioning part. The boom has a second fixing structure, and the positioning part is located on the boom. The positioning part is used to position the vehicle body sheet metal so that the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure are aligned with corresponding fixing positions on the vehicle body sheet metal.

[0019] The main benefits of this domain controller bracket setup include:

[0020] Firstly, the domain controller bracket is positioned on the vehicle body sheet metal by the positioning part, so that the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure are respectively aligned with the corresponding fixing positions on the vehicle body sheet metal. In this way, the operator does not need to hold the domain controller bracket and repeatedly adjust the installation position during installation, which is convenient, significantly reduces installation errors, and improves the installation efficiency of the domain controller.

[0021] Secondly, the dual-sided support arm design disperses the stress generated by the vibration of the domain controller and the vehicle body, avoiding excessive local stress that could cause deformation of the domain controller support structure. This improves the domain controller's resistance to impact and vibration during vehicle operation and extends the service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Please review Figure 1 and Figure 2 The domain controller bracket 10 provided in this application embodiment is used to fix the domain controller 20 to the vehicle body. The domain controller bracket 10 includes a mounting bracket 11, a first support arm 12, and a second support arm 13.

[0040] The domain controller 20 is mounted on the mounting bracket 11. The first support arm 12 and the second support arm 13 are respectively connected to the first side and the second side of the mounting bracket 11. The first support arm 12 is provided with a first fixing structure 121. The second support arm 13 includes an arm 131 and a positioning part 132. The arm 131 is provided with a second fixing structure 133. The positioning part 132 is provided on the arm 131 and is used to position the body sheet metal 30 so that the first fixing structure 121 and the second fixing structure 133 are respectively aligned with the corresponding fixing positions 31 on the body sheet metal 30.

[0041] On the one hand, the domain controller bracket 10 is positioned on the body sheet metal 30 by the positioning part 132, so that the first fixing structure 121 and the second fixing structure 133 are respectively aligned with the corresponding fixing positions 31 on the body sheet metal 30. In this way, the operator does not need to hold the domain controller bracket 10 and repeatedly adjust the installation position during installation, which is convenient, significantly reduces installation error, and improves the installation efficiency of the domain controller 20.

[0042] On the other hand, the dual-side support arm design disperses the stress generated by the vibration of the domain controller 20 and the vehicle body, avoiding excessive local stress that could cause structural deformation of the domain controller bracket 10, thus improving the domain controller 20's resistance to impact and vibration during vehicle operation and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0043] It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific structural form of the first fixing structure 121 and the second fixing structure 133. This application allows the first fixing structure 121 and the second fixing structure 133 to flexibly choose the adaptation method according to the different designs of the body sheet metal 30. For example, they can be compatible with mounting / fixing holes or welding points of different car models.

[0044] This open design expands the application range of the domain control bracket 10 and reduces the development cost of retrofitting different vehicle models.

[0045] Please review them together. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning part 132 is a hook, which is integrally disposed at the end of the boom 131 away from the mounting bracket 11. This allows the hook to be directly embedded into a pre-set hole / groove in the body sheet metal 30.

[0046] Understandably, the physical shape of the hook provides tactile feedback and locking resistance. During installation, the operator only needs to snap the hook into the corresponding position on the body panel 30 to automatically complete the initial positioning. Compared to the traditional bolt hole alignment method, this greatly reduces manual adjustment time and also prevents misalignment caused by visual deviation.

[0047] In addition, the hook and boom 131 are integrally formed without separate connection structures. The integrated design avoids stress concentration problems at welding or bolted connections.

[0048] Specifically, the hook is L-shaped and includes a first bent portion 1321 and a second bent portion 1322. The first bent portion 1321 extends along a first direction, and the second bent portion 1322 extends along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0049] The first direction mentioned above can be as follows: Figure 3 The horizontal direction shown can be followed by the second direction, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 The vertical direction is shown.

[0050] As can be seen, the first bend 1321 is connected between the second bend 1322 and the boom 131. The inner wall of the first bend 1321 is used to abut against the pre-set hole / slot of the body sheet metal 30. This allows the first fixing structure 121 and the second fixing structure 133 to be positioned in the second direction with the corresponding fixing position 31 on the body sheet metal 30. At the same time, the inner wall of the second bend 1322 is used to abut against the back side of the body sheet metal 30. The back side of the body sheet metal 30 refers to the side opposite the mounting surface of the body sheet metal 30 used to install the domain control bracket 10. This allows the first fixing structure 121 and the second fixing structure 133 to be positioned in the first direction with the corresponding fixing position 31 on the body sheet metal 30.

[0051] With this setup, the domain controller bracket 10 is hung on the customer's body sheet metal 30 under the combined action of gravity and the hook structure, thus eliminating the need for manual operation. At the same time, since the gap between the bent surface and the body sheet metal 30 can be controlled by size, the four mounting holes 113 on the domain controller 20 can be precisely aligned, reducing the process of workers adjusting the position, reducing production time, and increasing installation operability.

[0052] In some embodiments, the positioning part 132 may also be a magnetic part or a snap-fit ​​part. For example, the magnetic attraction of the magnetic part can be used to initially position the domain control bracket 10 on the body sheet metal 30.

[0053] Considering the need to minimize the overall weight of the domain control bracket 10 while ensuring its structural rigidity, two first support arms 12 can be provided on the first side of the mounting bracket 11, and two second support arms 13 can be provided on the second side of the mounting bracket 11.

[0054] For example, the mounting bracket 11 and support arms can adopt a modular design. By simplifying the domain controller bracket 10, the amount of material used can be reduced, achieving the goal of lightweighting, which is in line with the lightweighting trend in the automotive industry. At the same time, the compact layout avoids interference with the space of other parts of the vehicle body, improving the rationality of the overall vehicle layout. Furthermore, in some application scenarios, the first support arm 12 and the second support arm 13 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 11. The symmetrical layout enhances the overall rigidity, further improving the domain controller 20's shock and vibration resistance during vehicle operation and extending the equipment's service life.

[0055] In order to improve the structural strength of the domain control bracket 10, at least one side of the first support arm 12 is provided with a first bending edge 122. For example, the first bending edge 122 can be provided on one side of the first support arm 12, so that a first sinking platform reinforcement structure 123 can be formed on the first support arm 12.

[0056] Similarly, second bent edges 1313 can be provided on both sides of the boom 131 to form a second sinking platform reinforcement structure 1314 in the middle of the boom 131.

[0057] It should be noted that planar sheet metal has a uniform stress distribution and lacks a dispersion mechanism, making it prone to generating high stress in localized areas, leading to deformation or fracture. Compared to the planar structure, the first support arm 12 and the second support arm 13, with their concave and convex surfaces, can increase the moment of inertia of the cross section, effectively disperse stress, reduce stress concentration, and improve structural strength.

[0058] In addition, designing the first support arm 12 and the second support arm 13 as non-planar can reduce the required contact area and the required vehicle body installation space.

[0059] In some embodiments, both the first support arm 12 and the boom 131 include a first curved arm 1311 and a second curved arm 1312. The first curved arm 1311 is integrally disposed on the mounting frame 11, and the second curved arm 1312 is integrally disposed on the end of the first curved arm 1311 away from the mounting frame 11. The bending direction of the second curved arm 1312 relative to the first curved arm 1311 is opposite to the bending direction of the first curved arm 1311 relative to the mounting frame 11.

[0060] In this way, the bending directions of the first curved arm 1311 and the second curved arm 1312 are set to opposite directions (in this embodiment, the first curved arm 1311 bends upward and the second curved arm 1312 bends downward), forming a Z-shaped or S-shaped structure. When the structure is subjected to lateral force (such as vehicle body vibration), the bending segments in different directions can absorb stress in different directions respectively, avoiding deformation caused by concentrated force at a single bending point.

[0061] Furthermore, in order to further strengthen the structure of the first support arm 12 and the second support arm 13, the first curved arm 1311 is provided with a convex reinforcing rib 1315, and the connection between the first curved arm 1311 and the second curved arm 1312 is provided with a concave reinforcing rib 1316. One end of the convex reinforcing rib 1315 extends to the concave reinforcing rib 1316, and the other end extends to the mounting bracket 11.

[0062] In this way, the convex reinforcing rib 1315 extends along the first curved arm 1311 to the mounting bracket 11, thereby forming a continuous stress path and dispersing local stress to a larger area. The concave reinforcing rib 1316 is located at the connection of the curved arm, using its concave structure to absorb impact energy and avoid cracks caused by stress concentration. In addition, the raised structure of the convex reinforcing rib 1315 and the concave structure of the concave rib form a crest-trough shape, which can further interfere with the transmission path of vibration waves and reduce the impact of vehicle body vibration.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 11 is provided with a recessed structure 111 and a weight reduction hole 112 located at the center of the recessed structure 111.

[0064] Similarly, by providing a recessed concave structure 111 on the mounting frame 11, a concave-convex surface can be formed on the mounting frame 11, increasing the moment of inertia of the cross section, effectively dispersing stress, reducing stress concentration, and improving the structural strength of the mounting frame 11. In addition, a weight-reducing hole 112 is provided in the center of the recessed concave structure 111, for example, material is removed and weight is reduced at a position 5-10mm away from the beginning of the recess, thereby minimizing the amount of material used in the mounting frame 11 while ensuring strength, achieving lightweighting and reducing production costs.

[0065] Please review them together. Figure 4 and Figure 5 To facilitate the installation of the domain controller 20 on the mounting bracket 11, the mounting bracket 11 is also provided with a number of mounting holes 113 and a number of positioning holes 114. The positioning holes 114 are used to position and cooperate with the positioning posts 21 on the domain controller 20. Each mounting hole 113 is arranged around the periphery of the recessed structure 111 so that the domain controller 20 can be installed on the mounting bracket 11.

[0066] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 113 may be a screw hole, and the domain controller 20 is secured to the mounting bracket 11 by four screws or bolts.

[0067] In some embodiments, there are two positioning holes 114, one of which is a round hole and the other is an elliptical hole, with the round hole and the elliptical hole located on opposite sides of the recessed bulge structure 111.

[0068] In this way, two circular positioning posts 21 are provided on the domain controller 20 body, and matching circular holes and elliptical holes are provided on the mounting bracket 11. The circular holes are used for precise positioning, and the elliptical holes are used as adjustable positioning holes 114 to accommodate the deviation of the positioning holes 114 and the positioning posts 21.

[0069] Please review them together. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The domain controller assembly provided in this application includes a domain controller 20 and a domain controller bracket 10 as described in the above specific embodiments. The domain controller 20 is mounted on the domain controller bracket 10, and the domain controller bracket 10 is used to fix it to the vehicle body.

[0070] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.
