Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent cockpit controller technology, specifically a controller for intelligent cockpits. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of automotive intelligence and connectivity, the intelligent cockpit has become a core component of automotive electronic systems. Its functions have gradually expanded from basic infotainment to higher-level scenarios such as multimodal interaction, environmental perception, and cross-domain collaboration. When using the intelligent cockpit, a controller is required to control it.

[0003] Current intelligent cockpit controllers, such as the one disclosed in CN216291904U, include: a first housing and a second housing that are fitted together, forming a cavity with one end open; a circuit board installed inside the cavity, on which multiple functional modules are arranged, each functional module being matched with a corresponding functional interface, all functional interfaces facing the opening end of the cavity; a packaging plate covering the opening of the cavity, the packaging plate having through holes corresponding one-to-one with the functional interfaces; and a selective sealing plate with the same cross-sectional dimensions as the through holes, which can be detachably sealed. In this invention, the selective sealing plate allows for the addition or deletion of functional interfaces, satisfying different customer needs, facilitating mass production, and providing strong compatibility.

[0004] While existing smart cockpit controllers allow for selective blocking of function interfaces via a panel to add or remove functions to meet the diverse needs of different customers, it has been found that the controllers are fixedly connected to their mounting brackets as a single unit. However, different vehicle models have different frame shapes, making the mounting brackets unsuitable for installation on various vehicle models and thus inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a controller for smart cockpits to solve the problems currently existing in the market as described in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a controller for a smart cockpit, comprising a controller body, a mounting bracket connected to the bottom of the controller body, and a heat dissipation mechanism provided on the controller body, wherein...

[0007] The mounting bracket is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the controller body. The support bracket is symmetrically provided with guide grooves on both sides. The controller body is fixedly connected to the outer side of the guide grooves. The support bracket is provided with a locking groove in the middle of the side of the controller body.

[0008] The controller body has a slot on the outside of the corresponding slot, and the support frame has a pull rod slot connected to the outside of the corresponding slot. A spring is installed inside the slot, and a block is installed on the side of the spring near the opening of the slot. A pull rod is fixedly connected to one end of the block near the pull rod slot.

[0009] Preferably, the heat dissipation mechanism includes heat dissipation fins, and heat dissipation fins are equidistantly arranged on the top of the controller body. Mounting columns are symmetrically fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the controller body. A guide plate is installed on the top of the mounting column. An exhaust pipe is connected to the top center of the guide plate. A fan is installed inside the exhaust pipe. A protective frame is installed at the top opening of the exhaust pipe. An air duct is fitted on the outside of the exhaust pipe. The top of the air duct is connected to the guide pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the heat dissipation fins are made of aluminum alloy and are fixed to the top of the controller body by welding.

[0011] Preferably, the inner diameter of the air duct matches the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe, and the air duct is connected to the exhaust pipe by an interference fit.

[0012] Preferably, both the guide block and the guide groove are T-shaped, and the external dimensions of the guide block match the internal dimensions of the guide groove.

[0013] Preferably, the card block is a cylinder, and the outer diameter of the card block matches the inner diameter of the card slot.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention features a separate connection between the controller body and the mounting bracket. When connecting the controller body and the mounting bracket, a pull rod drives a locking block to retract into a locking block slot, overcoming spring force. The controller body is then placed on top of the mounting bracket. Guide grooves and guide blocks guide the installation of the controller body, ensuring the locking block slots and grooves are perfectly aligned. Releasing the pull rod allows the spring to push the locking block into the slot, thus securing the controller body to the mounting bracket. For disassembly, the pull rod moves the locking block out of the slot, separating the controller body from the mounting bracket. This separate connection allows the shape of the mounting bracket to be changed according to the vehicle frame of different models, enabling the controller body to be adapted for installation on various vehicle types, effectively improving the practicality of the intelligent cockpit controller.

[0016] This invention utilizes a fan to drive airflow when the controller body needs heat dissipation. The cool air flows through the air duct formed by the heat dissipation fins and the air guide plate, and is then discharged through the exhaust pipe. An air duct cover is placed over the exhaust pipe, and the air guide pipe is connected to the vehicle's air conditioning vent. This allows the dissipated hot air to be discharged through the air conditioning vent. Compared to existing methods that directly discharge hot air into the vehicle, this invention effectively improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the controller body. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a controller for a smart cockpit, including a controller body 1, a mounting bracket 2 connected to the bottom of the controller body 1, and a heat dissipation mechanism provided on the controller body 1.

[0024] Mounting bracket 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected to support frame 11 on both sides of the top of the controller body 1. The support frame 11 is symmetrically provided with guide grooves 12 on both sides. The controller body 1 is fixedly connected with guide block 13 on the outer side of the guide groove 12. The support frame 11 is provided with a locking block groove 14 in the middle of the side of the support frame 11 near the controller body 1.

[0025] The controller body 1 has a slot 15 on the outside of the slot 14, and the support frame 11 has a pull rod slot 16 connected to the outside of the slot 14. A spring 17 is installed inside the slot 14. A block 18 is installed on the side of the spring 17 near the opening of the slot 14. A pull rod 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the block 18 near the pull rod slot 16.

[0026] The controller body 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are connected separately. When the controller body 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are connected, the pull rod 19 drives the locking block 18 to retract into the locking block groove 14 over the elastic force of the spring 17. Then, the controller body 1 is placed on the mounting bracket 2. The guide groove 12 and the guide block 13 guide the installation of the controller body 1, so that the locking block groove 14 and the locking slot 15 are aligned. When the pull rod 19 is released, the spring 17 pushes the locking block 18 into the locking slot 15, thus fixing the controller body 1 and the mounting bracket 2. When disassembly is required, the pull rod 19 drives the locking block 18 to move out of the locking slot 15, thus separating the controller body 1 and the mounting bracket 2. Through this separate connection of the controller body 1 and the mounting bracket 2, the shape of the mounting bracket 2 can be changed according to the frame of different vehicle models, so that the controller body 1 can be adapted to be installed on different vehicle models, effectively improving the practicality of the smart cockpit controller.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The heat dissipation mechanism includes heat dissipation fins 3. Heat dissipation fins 3 are equidistantly arranged on the top of the controller body 1. Mounting posts 4 are symmetrically fixed to the four corners of the top of the controller body 1. Air guide plates 5 are mounted on the top of the mounting posts 4. An exhaust pipe 6 is connected to the center of the top of the air guide plate 5. A fan 7 is installed inside the exhaust pipe 6. A protective frame 8 is installed at the top opening of the exhaust pipe 6. An air duct 9 is fitted over the outside of the exhaust pipe 6. An air guide pipe 10 is connected to the top of the air duct 9. The heat dissipation fins 3 are made of aluminum alloy and are fixed to the top of the controller body 1 by welding. The inner diameter of the air intake shroud 9 matches the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe 6, and the air intake shroud 9 is connected to the exhaust pipe 6 by an interference fit. When the controller body 1 needs to dissipate heat, the fan 7 drives the airflow, so that the cold air flows through the air duct formed by the heat dissipation fins 3 and the air guide plate 5, and then is discharged through the exhaust pipe 6. The air intake shroud 9 is fitted on the exhaust pipe 6, and the air guide pipe 10 is connected to the vehicle's air conditioning outlet, so that the dissipated hot air can be discharged through the air conditioning outlet. Compared with the existing method of directly discharging hot air into the vehicle, this method can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the controller body 1.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Both the guide block 13 and the guide groove 12 are T-shaped, and the external dimensions of the guide block 13 match the internal dimensions of the guide groove 12. The locking block 18 is a cylinder, and the outer diameter of the locking block 18 matches the inner diameter of the locking groove 15.

[0029] Working Principle: This is a controller for a smart cockpit. The controller body 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are connected separately. When the controller body 1 is connected to the mounting bracket 2, the pull rod 19 drives the locking block 18 to retract into the locking block groove 14 against the elastic force of the spring 17. Then, the controller body 1 is placed above the mounting bracket 2. The guide groove 12 and the guide block 13 guide the installation of the controller body 1, so that the locking block groove 14 and the locking slot 15 are aligned. When the pull rod 19 is released, the spring 17 pushes the locking block 18 into the locking slot 15, thus fixing the controller body 1 to the mounting bracket 2. When disassembly is required, the pull rod 19 drives the locking block 18 to move out of the locking slot 15, thus separating the controller body 1 from the mounting bracket 2. The controller body 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are connected in a split manner. The shape of the mounting bracket 2 can be changed according to the frame of different vehicle models, so that the controller body 1 can be adapted to be installed on different vehicle models. This effectively improves the practicality of the smart cockpit controller. When the controller body 1 needs to dissipate heat, the fan 7 drives the airflow, so that the cold air flows through the air duct formed by the heat dissipation fins 3 and the air guide plate 5, and then is discharged through the exhaust pipe 6. The air duct 9 is fitted on the exhaust pipe 6, and the air guide pipe 10 is connected to the air conditioning vent of the vehicle. This allows the dissipated hot air to be discharged through the air conditioning vent. Compared with the existing method of directly discharging hot air into the vehicle, this method can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the controller body 1.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
