[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of an electric vehicle central control instrument cluster, comprising a front shell 1 and a rear shell 3. The rear shell 3 has mounting grooves 4 on the top of both the left and right rear ends of its inner wall. A cooling fan 5 is fixedly connected inside the mounting grooves 4. A sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the cooling fan 5, and a filter shell 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the sealing ring 6. When the cooling fan 5 is activated, it draws in outside air, which is then processed by the filter shell 7. Connecting posts 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the front side of the filter shell 7, with the front ends of the connecting posts 8 fixedly connected to the rear side of the cooling fan 5. An absorbent sponge 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the filter shell 7. The filter shell 7 has mounting grooves 4 on the top of both the left and right rear ends of its inner wall. The front shell 1 is connected to the mounting shell 10, and a filter plate 11 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the mounting shell 10. Thus, the airflow is dried and filtered through the connection of the filter plate 11 and the adsorption sponge 9. An instrument device 12 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the front shell 1. Multiple connectors 13 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the rear side of the instrument device 12. Multiple interfaces 14 are opened in the middle of the rear side of the inner wall of the rear shell 3. The multiple connectors 13 are respectively engaged with the corresponding interfaces 14. Thus, the instrument device 12 is connected through the action of the connectors 13 and the interfaces 14. Multiple heat dissipation grooves 15 are opened at equal intervals on the rear side of the inner wall of the rear shell 3. The left and right ends of the front side of the rear shell 3 are provided with mounting mechanisms 2. The mounting mechanisms 2 are used to improve the installation and disassembly efficiency of the front shell 1.
[0032] Specifically, by activating the cooling fan 5, it draws in outside air, allowing airflow to pass smoothly through the sealing ring 6. The airflow is filtered through the filter housing 7 to ensure cleanliness. The air then passes through the filter plate 11, which intercepts and removes larger dust particles, effectively preventing damage to the impeller of the cooling fan 5. Subsequently, the pre-filtered airflow enters the interior of the filter housing 7, where the absorbent sponge 9 absorbs and removes moisture from the airflow, reducing the impact of moisture on the lifespan of the instrument 12. The airflow becomes clean and dry, then enters the interior of the equipment through the sealing ring 6 to begin its heat dissipation function. Inside the equipment, accumulated heat is effectively dissipated by multiple heat dissipation slots 15, thus preventing heat accumulation from negatively impacting normal operation and extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The installation mechanism 2 includes two positioning plates 201. The rear sides of the two positioning plates 201 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front side of the rear shell 3. Each positioning plate 201 has a locking groove 202 on its upper and lower sides, and each of the left and right ends of the rear side of the front shell 1 has a positioning groove 203. This allows the positioning plates 201 to engage with the positioning grooves 203, thus achieving initial positioning and installation of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 3. The front side of the positioning plate 201 engages with the positioning groove 203, and the left and right ends of the front shell 1 are fixedly connected to the positioning grooves 203. The inner wall of the positioning shell 204 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 205. When the knob 206 is rotated, the threaded rod 205 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the locking plate 207 to move. One end of the threaded rod 205 is fixedly connected to the knob 206, and the outer wall of the threaded rod 205 is threadedly connected to the locking plate 207. One side of the locking plate 207 engages with the locking groove 202. Thus, under the engagement of the locking plate 207 and the locking groove 202, the front shell 1 and the rear shell 3 are installed and fixed.
[0034] Specifically, by rotating the knob 206, the threaded rod 205 is rotated, which in turn drives the locking plate 207 to move. Under the restriction of the rotation by the limiting shell 204, the locking plate 207 can complete the conversion from rotation to linear motion. Then, through the engagement of the positioning plate 201 and the positioning groove 203, the locking plate 207 continues to move until it is securely engaged and locked with the locking groove 202 inside the positioning plate 201. This allows the front shell 1 and the rear shell 3 to be installed, and vice versa, to be disassembled. This improves the efficiency of the installation and disassembly of the device and facilitates maintenance and disassembly work.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting mechanism 2 also includes multiple rubber pillars 208, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the corresponding knob 206; a control switch 22 is fixedly connected to the front side of the right limiting shell 204, and the control switch 22 is electrically connected to the cooling fan 5 and the instrument 12 respectively; rubber pads 23 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the front side of the front shell 1, and the outer walls of the two rubber pads 23 are both designed to be smooth.
[0036] Specifically, the rubber post 208 improves the anti-slip effect of the knob 206, the control switch 22, which is electrically connected to the cooling fan 5 and the instrument 12 respectively, enables the device to be turned on and off, and the rubber pad 23 protects the front shell 1.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 Sealing plates 16 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower rear ends of the front shell 1, and sealing grooves 17 are opened on the left and right front ends of the rear shell 3. The rear side of the sealing plate 16 engages with the sealing groove 17. Multiple mounting seats 20 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the rear shell 3, and connecting grooves 21 are opened on the front side of the multiple mounting seats 20. Limiting posts 18 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the rear side of the front shell 1, and limiting grooves 19 are opened on the four corners of the front side of the rear shell 3. The rear end of the limiting post 18 engages with the limiting groove 19.
[0038] Specifically, the sealing plate 16 engages with the sealing groove 17, which improves the sealing effect after the front shell 1 and the rear shell 3 are installed. The engagement of multiple limiting posts 18 with limiting grooves 19 improves the connection strength between the front shell 1 and the rear shell 3. The mounting base 20 and the connecting groove 21 achieve the installation and fixation of the rear shell 3.
[0039] Working principle: When in use, the cooling fan 5 is started to draw in outside air. With the sealing ring 6 in place, the airflow passes through the filter housing 7 for filtration. First, the air passes through the filter plate 11 to filter out larger dust particles, preventing damage to the impeller of the cooling fan 5. Then, the airflow enters the interior of the filter housing 7, where it is dried by the adsorption sponge 9, reducing the impact of moisture in the cooling airflow on the service life of the instrument 12. The airflow then passes through the sealing ring 6 to enter the interior of the equipment to achieve heat dissipation. The accumulated heat is discharged through multiple heat dissipation slots 15, preventing any impact on the normal operation of the equipment and thus improving its service life.
[0040] Furthermore, by rotating the knob 206, the threaded rod 205 is rotated, which simultaneously drives the locking plate 207 to move. Under the restriction of the rotation of the limiting shell 204, the locking plate 207 completes the effect of linear movement. Subsequently, through the engagement of the positioning plate 201 and the positioning groove 203, the locking plate 207 moves after engagement to engage and lock with the locking groove 202 inside the positioning plate 201, thus completing the installation of the front shell 1 and the rear shell 3. Conversely, disassembly is completed, thereby improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly and facilitating the maintenance and disassembly of the device.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
