Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to an automotive generator voltage regulation control module. Background Technology

[0002] An automotive alternator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is typically driven by an engine and mainly consists of a rotor, stator, rectifier, and voltage regulator. The alternator generates alternating current (AC) through electromagnetic induction, which is then converted to direct current (DC) by the rectifier to power the vehicle's electrical system. The automotive alternator voltage regulation control module is a key component responsible for regulating the alternator's output voltage. By monitoring the battery voltage and engine speed, it uses electronic circuitry to adjust the alternator's excitation current, ensuring the output voltage remains stable within a set range. This guarantees the normal operation of the vehicle's electrical system and proper battery charging, preventing overcharging or undercharging, thereby extending battery life and ensuring driving safety.

[0003] Currently, automotive alternator voltage regulation control modules are typically installed in the ECU box using screws, and then connected to the alternator via wires. However, to facilitate installation and allow for thermal expansion of electronic components, the ECU box is usually manufactured slightly larger than the voltage regulation control module. This makes the connection points of the voltage regulation control module prone to loosening or damage due to vehicle vibration during use, affecting the functionality of the voltage regulation control module.

[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 Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a new technical solution: a car generator voltage regulation control module, including a module circuit board 1. Four fixing sleeves 2 are installed in a rectangular array on the upper surface of the module circuit board 1. The lower ends of the four fixing sleeves 2 all penetrate to the lower surface of the module circuit board 1. L-shaped mounting plates 3 are welded to the left and right ends of the upper surface of the module circuit board 1. T-shaped grooves 4 are opened at the upper ends of the vertical plates of the two L-shaped mounting plates 3.

[0024] An auxiliary stabilizing mechanism is set inside two L-shaped mounting plates 3. The auxiliary stabilizing mechanism includes a trapezoidal stabilizing plate 5 and a push plate 6. The trapezoidal stabilizing plate 5 is slidably installed inside the T-shaped groove 4 on the left. A rectangular groove 7 is opened inside the horizontal plate of the L-shaped mounting plate 3 on the left. The rectangular groove 7 communicates with the interior of the T-shaped groove 4. The push plate 6 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 7. The push plate 6 is slidably inserted into the interior of the T-shaped groove 4. A screw 8 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 7. The screw 8 is threadedly connected to the push plate 6. An installation groove 11 is opened inside the horizontal plate of the L-shaped mounting plate 3 on the left. The front end of the screw 8 passes through the interior of the installation groove 11. A bevel gear 12 is fixedly installed at the front end of the screw 8.

[0025] Furthermore, the auxiliary stabilizing mechanism also includes two limiting plates 9 and two springs 10. The two limiting plates 9 are fixedly installed on the left and right surfaces of the trapezoidal stabilizing plate 5 on the left side, respectively, and the two springs 10 are fixedly installed on the upper surfaces of the two limiting plates 9, respectively.

[0026] Furthermore, by rotating the two adjusting bolts 13, the two push plates 6 push the two trapezoidal stabilizing plates 5, causing the two trapezoidal stabilizing plates 5 to rise and move upward, pressing against the inner wall of the ECU box. This, along with the four screws, stabilizes the module circuit board 1, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the module during use.

[0027] Furthermore, there are two auxiliary stabilizing mechanisms, which are respectively installed inside the two L-shaped mounting plates 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the same bevel gears 12 are rotatably mounted on the upper inner walls of both mounting slots 11, with the two bevel gears 12 on the left meshing with each other and the two bevel gears 12 on the right meshing with each other.

[0029] Furthermore, adjusting bolts 13 are threaded onto the upper surface of the horizontal plates of the two L-shaped mounting plates 3. The lower ends of the two adjusting bolts 13 are threaded through the interior of the two mounting grooves 11. Rectangular plates 14 are welded to the lower ends of the two adjusting bolts 13. The lower ends of the two rectangular plates 14 slide through the lower ends of the two upper bevel gears 12.

[0030] Furthermore, annular limiting grooves 15 are provided on the upper inner walls of both mounting grooves 11, and annular limiting plates 16 are rotatably installed inside the two annular limiting grooves 15. The two annular limiting plates 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the two upper bevel gears 12.

[0031] Furthermore, during the installation of the automotive generator voltage regulation control module, the module is placed inside the ECU box. Then, screws are used to install the module circuit board 1 into the ECU box via four fixing sleeves 2. A screwdriver is used to rotate the two adjusting bolts 13. The rotation of the adjusting bolts 13 causes the rectangular plate 14, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. As the adjusting bolts 13 move, the rectangular plate 14 moves downwards, causing the bevel gear 12 on its outer surface to rotate. This causes the upper bevel gear 12 to rotate, which in turn causes another bevel gear 12 meshing with it to rotate. This other bevel gear 12 rotates, causing the screw 8, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. The screw 8 then rotates the threaded connection to it... The push plate 6 moves into the T-shaped groove 4, pressing against the inclined surface of the trapezoidal stabilizing plate 5, causing it to move upward. This upward movement of the trapezoidal stabilizing plate 5 drives the two limiting plates 9 to move upward, pressing against the two springs 10. After the two trapezoidal stabilizing plates 5 move upward, they seal the ECU box. During the sealing operation, if the height of the two trapezoidal stabilizing plates 5 is too high or too low, the height of the two trapezoidal stabilizing plates 5 is adjusted to hold the ECU box in place, thereby providing auxiliary stability to the module circuit board 1. This improves the stability of the module circuit board 1 inside the ECU box and reduces the probability of loosening or damage at the connection between the module circuit board 1 and the ECU box.
