Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive transmission control devices, and in particular to an automotive transmission control device. Background Technology

[0002] To meet consumer demand, most car models are developed simultaneously with both manual and automatic transmissions. Manual transmission models have an additional clutch system compared to automatic transmission models; automatic transmission models have an automatic transmission control unit (TCU) compared to manual transmission models. The TCU controller typically includes a TCU controller, which uses various sensors to collect various status and data information generated during vehicle operation to control the automatic gear shifting, ensuring that the vehicle's speed matches its status.

[0003] In the prior art, patent document with publication number "CN204641399U" discloses an automatic transmission control unit assembly and an automobile. This automatic transmission control unit assembly includes: an automatic transmission control unit (TCU) body; a first mounting bracket, one end of which is fixedly connected to the TCU body; a second mounting bracket, the other end of which is fixedly connected to the first mounting bracket; and a sealing gasket, which is fixed to the clutch mounting position on the front bulkhead assembly of the automobile via the second mounting bracket, and seals the clutch mounting hole. This patented technical solution solves the problem of TCU controller installation and fixation. However, when a car is in motion, the external environment and road conditions are complex, and the internal environment of the car is also affected by the external environment. If external dust or water mist enters the TCU controller, it will cause damage to the TCU controller, affecting its safe and stable operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automotive transmission control device.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0006] This utility model provides an automotive transmission control device, including a TCU controller, a base, and a cover. The four peripheral edges of the base overlap with the four peripheral edges of the cover and are fastened together using fasteners. The surface of the base is provided with a first compartment and a first adhesive groove, with the first adhesive groove surrounding the first compartment. The surface of the cover is provided with a second compartment and a second adhesive groove, with the second adhesive groove surrounding the second adhesive groove. The first and second adhesive grooves are interconnected and form a housing compartment. The TCU controller is housed within the housing compartment. The surface of the cover is also provided with at least one injection hole, which is interconnected with the second adhesive groove.

[0007] The base or cover is rectangular in shape, and the fasteners are located at the four corners of the base or cover.

[0008] The fasteners include bolts.

[0009] The diameter of the injection hole is equal to the width of the second glue groove.

[0010] There are two injection holes, which are located on the left and right sides of the cover.

[0011] The accommodating compartment is rectangular in shape.

[0012] The surface of the base is also provided with a first notch, which communicates with the first compartment. The surface of the cover is also provided with a second notch, which communicates with the second compartment. The first notch and the second notch surround each other to form a wiring port.

[0013] The wiring port is rectangular in shape.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Using the technical solution of this utility model, the TCU controller is sealed by the base and cover, preventing dust and water mist from invading the TCU controller, ensuring stable operation of the TCU controller, and guaranteeing safe vehicle operation. When assembling the TCU controller, the base and cover are first fastened together with fasteners. The operator can then inject sealant into the injection hole to fill the first and second glue grooves completely. Compared to the existing sealing method where sealant is manually injected into the first and second glue grooves first, the base and cover are first fastened together, keeping the dimensions and position of the first and second glue grooves fixed. The sealant then enters the first and second glue grooves through the injection hole, maintaining a stable amount of sealant injected, avoiding overflow and localized leakage. This helps maintain a reliable seal within the containment chamber, improves sealing performance, ensures stable operation of the TCU controller, and guarantees safe vehicle operation.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides an automotive transmission control device, including a TCU controller 1, a base 2, and a cover 3. The four peripheral edges of the base 2 overlap with the four peripheral edges of the cover 3 and are fastened together with fasteners. The surface of the base 2 is provided with a first compartment 4 and a first glue groove 5, and the first glue groove 5 surrounds the first compartment 4. The surface of the cover 3 is provided with a second compartment 6 and a second glue groove 7, and the second glue groove 7 surrounds the second glue groove 7. The first glue groove 5 and the second glue groove 7 are interconnected. The first compartment 4 and the second compartment 6 surround to form a housing 8. The TCU controller 1 is housed in the housing 8. The surface of the cover 3 is also provided with at least one glue injection hole 9, and the glue injection hole 9 is interconnected with the second glue groove 7.

[0024] By employing the technical solution of this utility model, the TCU controller is sealed by the base and the cover, preventing dust and water mist from invading the TCU controller, ensuring stable operation of the TCU controller, and guaranteeing safe driving of the vehicle. When assembling the TCU controller, the base and the cover are first fastened together with fasteners. The operator can then inject sealant into the injection hole to fill the first and second glue grooves completely. Compared with the existing sealing method where the sealant is manually filled into the first and second glue grooves first, the base and the cover are first fastened together, keeping the shape, size, and position of the first and second glue grooves fixed. The sealant then enters the first and second glue grooves through the injection hole, keeping the amount of sealant injected stable, avoiding overflow and local leakage. This helps to maintain a reliable seal inside the compartment, improves the sealing performance, ensures stable operation of the TCU controller, and guarantees safe driving of the vehicle.

[0025] Specifically, the base 2 or cover 3 is rectangular in shape, and fasteners are located at the four corners of the base 2 or cover 3. Preferred fasteners include bolts, but pins or rivets can also be used. The diameter of the injection hole 9 is equal to the width of the second glue groove 7. There are two injection holes 9, located on the left and right sides of the cover 3. When the operator assembles the TCU controller, the operator can inject sealant into the first and second glue grooves through the multiple injection holes 9, filling both grooves completely to prevent localized leakage and improve sealing.

[0026] In addition, the housing 8 is generally rectangular in shape. The surface of the base 2 is also provided with a first notch 10, which communicates with the first compartment 4. The surface of the cover 3 is also provided with a second notch 11, which communicates with the second compartment 6. The first notch 10 and the second notch 11 surround each other to form a wiring port 12. The wiring port 12 is generally rectangular in shape.
