Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and more specifically, to a waterproof cover and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicles contain numerous control devices. For example, some vehicles have various controllers such as entertainment domain controllers, gateways, body control units, intelligent driving controllers, dashcam controllers, driver fatigue monitoring controllers, vehicle controllers, and suspension controllers. Furthermore, to improve the integration of multiple controllers and reduce costs, some vehicles also feature a central "super brain," which integrates all the aforementioned controllers into a single, larger unit.

[0003] To facilitate the placement of vehicle control devices, especially the large central supercomputer, related technologies typically place the control devices at the front of the vehicle's central tunnel (i.e., the front of the horizontal middle position on the vehicle floor). However, this position is usually occupied by the car's air conditioning unit. When the air conditioning unit is in cooling mode, condensation forms on its surface. This condensation accumulates on the surface of the air conditioning unit, and once it reaches a certain amount, it flows down the surface of the air conditioning unit and drips onto the control devices below, posing a safety hazard to the control devices.

[0004] Especially when the central supercomputer is located at the front of the vehicle's center console, it is not only large in size but also serves as the control hub for the entire vehicle, containing numerous exposed electrical components. For example, the front and rear ends of the central supercomputer have wiring harness connectors for connecting external wiring harnesses, and the upper surface of the central supercomputer has heat dissipation fins and Bluetooth / network antennas. If condensation from the air conditioning unit drips onto these exposed electrical components, such as wiring harness connectors or antennas, it can cause significant safety hazards, such as poor contact between the wiring harness connectors and external wiring harnesses, or even module burn-out, affecting safe driving. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to improve the safety of the control device below the car air conditioner.

[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a waterproof cover plate for installation on the upper side of a vehicle control device. The upper side of the waterproof cover plate is provided with a water receiving groove, and the waterproof cover plate is provided with a drain outlet. The drain outlet is connected to the water receiving groove and is used to drain the water in the water receiving groove. A water guiding structure is provided in the water receiving groove and is used to guide the water in the water receiving groove to the drain outlet.

[0007] This waterproof cover can be installed above vehicle control devices, such as the central supercomputer, to shield condensation dripping from the air conditioning unit above. This prevents condensation from dripping directly onto the central supercomputer below, especially preventing it from dripping onto exposed electrical components, thus improving the safety of the central supercomputer. The waterproof cover has a water-receiving groove on its upper side to collect the dripping condensation. With a water-guiding structure within the groove, the condensation dripping from the air conditioning unit flows orderly and quickly towards the drain outlet, ensuring timely and effective drainage. This guarantees that the condensation dripping onto the waterproof cover is controllable, further contributing to the safety of the central supercomputer.

[0008] Furthermore, the waterproof cover plate includes a cover plate body and a rear brim made of soft material. The front end of the rear brim is connected to the rear end of the cover plate body, and the front end of the rear brim is higher than the rear end of the cover plate body. The front end of the cover plate body is provided with a front upper outer edge retaining rib, and the left and right ends of the cover plate body are respectively provided with side upper outer edge retaining ribs. The cover plate body, the front upper outer edge retaining rib, the side upper outer edge retaining rib, and the rear brim form the water receiving groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the water receiving trough includes a front sidewall, a rear sidewall, and two opposing transverse sidewalls. The rear ends of the two transverse sidewalls are respectively spaced apart from the rear sidewall to form the drain outlet. The waterproof cover plate includes a cover plate body that constitutes the bottom wall of the water receiving trough, and the cover plate body is inclined in a front-high and rear-low state along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0010] Furthermore, the cover plate body includes a front cover plate body and a rear cover plate body, the front cover plate body and the rear cover plate body are respectively inclined in a front-high and rear-low state, and the rear end of the front cover plate body is higher than the front end of the rear cover plate body, and the rear end of the front cover plate body is transitionally connected to the front end of the rear cover plate body.

[0011] Furthermore, the water guiding structure includes a front protrusion that protrudes upward from the front cover plate body, the front protrusion and the front side wall of the water receiving groove forming a front water guiding groove, and the front protrusion and the transverse side wall of the water receiving groove forming a side water guiding groove.

[0012] And / or, along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the height of the rear cover body gradually decreases from the middle to the lateral end position.

[0013] Furthermore, the water guiding structure also includes a rib structure that protrudes upward from the cover plate body; the rib structure includes a first rib located in the side water guiding groove, one end of the first rib being connected to the transverse side wall of the water receiving groove, and the other end of the first rib extending backward in a direction gradually away from the corresponding transverse side wall.

[0014] And / or, the rib structure further includes a second rib located at the rear cover body, the second rib including two oblique ribs, one end of the two oblique ribs being located at the corresponding drain outlet, the other end of the two oblique ribs extending forward and gradually approaching each other, the other ends of the two oblique ribs being directly connected or connected through a transverse rib.

[0015] Furthermore, the cover plate body has protruding bosses at both ends of the rib structure, and the bosses have mounting holes that penetrate the waterproof cover plate.

[0016] Furthermore, a reinforcing structure is provided on the lower side of the waterproof cover.

[0017] This utility model also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle control device and a waterproof cover as described above, wherein the waterproof cover is disposed on the upper side of the vehicle control device.

[0018] Since the technical improvements and effects of the vehicle are at least the same as those of the aforementioned waterproof cover, the vehicle will not be described in detail again.

[0019] Furthermore, the projection of the drain outlet of the waterproof cover onto the horizontal plane does not intersect with the projection of the exposed electrical components of the vehicle control device onto the horizontal plane; and / or, the front end of the waterproof cover extends to the front of the vehicle control device, and the rear end of the waterproof cover extends to the rear of the vehicle control device.

[0037] See Figure 1-4 A waterproof cover plate 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to be installed on the upper side of a vehicle control device 2. The upper side of the waterproof cover plate 1 is provided with a water receiving groove, and the waterproof cover plate 1 is provided with a drain outlet 133. The drain outlet 133 is connected to the water receiving groove and is used to drain the water in the water receiving groove. A water guiding structure is provided in the water receiving groove and is used to guide the water in the water receiving groove to the drain outlet 133.

[0038] In this embodiment, the waterproof cover 1 can be installed on the upper side of the vehicle control device 2, such as the central super brain, to block the condensate dripping from the air conditioner 3 above, preventing the condensate on the air conditioner 3 from dripping directly onto the central super brain below, and especially preventing the condensate on the air conditioner 3 from dripping onto the exposed electrical components of the central super brain, thereby improving the safety of the central super brain.

[0039] The waterproof cover plate 1 has a water receiving groove on its upper side to receive the condensate dripping from above. With a water guiding structure in the water receiving groove, the condensate dripping from the air conditioner 3 can flow orderly and quickly to the drain outlet 133 under the guidance of the water guiding structure. Finally, it can be discharged in a timely and effective manner from the specific location of the drain outlet 133, ensuring that the flow direction of the condensate dripping from the air conditioner 3 onto the waterproof cover plate 1 is controllable, which is conducive to ensuring the safety of the central super brain.

[0040] Understandably, if the water in the water collection tank cannot be drained from the drain outlet 133 quickly, it will cause excessive water accumulation in the water collection tank. If too much water accumulates, the water may drip out of the side wall of the water collection tank due to the vehicle's inertia, which poses a safety hazard.

[0041] It should be noted that since the amount of condensate generated outside the air conditioner 3 is not large, the drain outlet 133 does not need to be connected to an external pipe. In this case, the small amount of condensate discharged from the drain outlet 133 can flow directly onto the vehicle carpet, and the impact of this small amount of condensate on the vehicle carpet is negligible. Of course, in other embodiments, the drain outlet 133 can also be connected to an external pipe, and the condensate discharged from the drain outlet 133 can be discharged outside the vehicle through the external pipe.

[0042] It should be noted that the aforementioned vehicle control device 2 can be a central super brain located at the front of the vehicle's central aisle and below the air conditioner 3. However, in other embodiments, the vehicle control device 2 may be other controllers located at the front of the vehicle's central aisle and below the air conditioner 3. For ease of distinction, the following description will use the vehicle control device 2 as the central super brain.

[0043] Optionally, the projection of the drain outlet 133 onto the horizontal plane does not intersect with the projection of the exposed electrical components of the vehicle control device 2 onto the horizontal plane; and / or, see... Figure 3 The front end of the waterproof cover 1 extends to the front of the vehicle control device 2, and the rear end of the waterproof cover 1 extends to the rear of the vehicle control device 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, for example, the vehicle control device 2 is a central super brain, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, the front and rear ends of the central super brain both have wire harness connectors 211, and the upper side of the central super brain has a network antenna 212, Bluetooth (not shown in the figure), heat dissipation teeth 22, etc. Among them, the wire harness connectors 211, network antennas 212, and Bluetooth are all exposed electrical components of the central super brain. If these exposed electrical components get wet, safety problems may occur, such as short circuits, burning, and poor connection between the wire harness connectors 211 and external wire harnesses.

[0045] Based on the above issues, in this embodiment, the projection of the drain outlet 133 on the horizontal plane does not intersect with the projection of the exposed electrical components of the vehicle control device 2 on the horizontal plane. Thus, when the received condensate flows directly downwards from the drain outlet 133, the discharged condensate will not fall onto these exposed electrical components, thereby ensuring the safety of the exposed electrical components and even the central supercomputer.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, since the waterproof cover 1 is located on the upper side of the central supercomputer, it inevitably provides water protection for exposed electrical components such as the network antenna 212 and Bluetooth devices on the upper side of the central supercomputer. The front end of the waterproof cover 1 extends to the front of the vehicle control device 2, and the rear end extends to the rear of the vehicle control device 2, meaning the front and rear ends of the waterproof cover 1 extend beyond the front and rear ends of the vehicle control device 2, respectively. This ensures that the waterproof cover 1 provides good water protection for the wiring harness connectors 211 at the front and rear ends of the central supercomputer; especially since the wiring harness connectors 211 at the front and rear ends also need to connect to external wiring harnesses, the appropriate extension of the front and rear ends of the waterproof cover 1 also provides good water protection for the connectors of external wiring harnesses. It is understandable that with the appropriate extension of the front and rear ends of the waterproof cover 1, the water-receiving groove on the upper side of the waterproof cover 1 is also appropriately extended to ensure the effectiveness of water collection.

[0047] See Figure 3-5 as well as Figure 11 Optionally, the waterproof cover 1 includes a cover body 11 and a rear brim 16 made of soft material. The front end of the rear brim 16 is connected to the rear end of the cover body 11, and the front end of the rear brim 16 is higher than the rear end of the cover body 11. The front end of the cover body 11 is provided with a front upper outer edge baffle 131, and the left and right ends of the cover body 11 are respectively provided with side upper outer edge baffles 132. The cover body 11, the front upper outer edge baffle 131, the side upper outer edge baffles 132 and the rear brim 16 form the water receiving groove.

[0048] It is understood that, in the embodiment, the cover plate body 11 serves as the bottom wall of the water receiving trough, the front upper outer edge baffle 131 serves as the front side wall of the water receiving trough, the side upper outer edge baffle 132 serves as the transverse side wall of the water receiving trough, and the front end of the rear cap 16, which is higher than the rear end of the cover plate body 11, serves as the rear side wall of the water receiving trough.

[0049] In this embodiment, the waterproof cover 1 mainly consists of two parts: a rigid cover body 11 and a flexible rear brim 16. The rear brim 16 is connected to the rear end of the cover body 11 to effectively shield the area behind the central supercomputer. As mentioned earlier, to ensure the effectiveness of the waterproof cover 1 in blocking water, the rear end of the waterproof cover 1 extends to the rear of the vehicle control device 2; specifically, the rear brim 16 at the rear of the waterproof cover 1 is located behind the vehicle control device 2.

[0050] Thus, when the wiring harness connector 211 at the rear of the central super brain is plugged into an external wiring harness, the soft material rear brim 16 can be lifted and deformed upwards to facilitate the wiring harness insertion, thereby exposing sufficient space for the insertion operation. After the wiring harness insertion is completed, the rear brim 16 returns to its original shape. After the rear brim 16 is connected to the rear end of the cover plate body 11, the cover plate body 11, the front upper outer edge retaining rib 131, the side upper outer edge retaining rib 132, and the rear brim 16 together form a water receiving groove. The height of the front upper outer edge retaining rib 131 and the side upper outer edge retaining rib 132 is not less than 5mm to ensure effective blocking of condensate in the water receiving groove and prevent condensate from passing over the front upper outer edge retaining rib 131 and the side upper outer edge retaining rib 132 due to the vehicle's inertia.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 11 As shown, the rear end of the cover plate body 11 is provided with a serrated structure. The soft material rear brim 16 can be formed by injection molding and simultaneously connected and fixed with the cover plate body 11. The design of the serrated structure can improve the stability of the connection between the rear brim 16 and the cover plate body 11.

[0052] Optionally, the rear brim 16 is inclined in a front-high-rear-low manner along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle.

[0053] As mentioned earlier, in order to form a water-receiving groove, the front end of the rear visor 16 is higher than the rear end of the cover body 11. Furthermore, along the vehicle's longitudinal direction, the rear visor 16 can be inclined at the front and lower at the rear. This allows the rear visor 16 to provide better water-blocking and waterproofing for the wiring harness connector 211 and the connector ends of the external wiring harness. It also ensures sufficient space above the rear visor 16 for arranging the internal structure of the sub-instrument panel armrest box, such as sufficient space for arranging the sub-instrument panel air duct, which connects with the air outlet structure of the air conditioning 3. Moreover, because the rear visor 16 is inclined at the front and lower at the rear, if condensation on the sub-instrument panel air duct drips downwards, it will be effectively blocked by the rear visor 16, preventing the dripping condensation from falling onto the wiring harness connector and the connector ends of the external wiring harness.

[0054] See Figure 3-5 as well as Figure 6-7 Optionally, the water receiving trough includes a front sidewall, a rear sidewall, and two opposing transverse sidewalls. The rear ends of the two transverse sidewalls are respectively spaced apart from the rear sidewall to form the drain outlet 133. The waterproof cover plate 1 includes a cover plate body 11 that forms the bottom wall of the water receiving trough. Along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the cover plate body 11 is in an inclined state with the front higher than the rear.

[0055] Specifically, a gap is provided between the rear end of the upper outer edge baffle 132 and the rear brim 16 to form the drain outlet 133, and the cover body 11 is inclined in a front-high and rear-low state along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0056] In this embodiment, since the drain outlet 133 is located between the rear end and the rear side wall of the transverse side wall of the water receiving tank, that is, the drain outlet 133 corresponds to the left and right ends of the central super brain. Since the left and right ends of the central super brain do not have exposed electrical components, the condensate drain outlet 133 at this location will not flow onto the exposed electrical components of the central super brain after it drains.

[0057] In this embodiment, the cover body 11 is inclined in the front-to-back direction along the vehicle's front-to-back direction. In this way, after the water receiving tank receives water, under the condition that the amount of water is certain (which can overcome the viscosity between the water and the water receiving tray), the overall water flow will gradually flow along the inclined direction of the cover body 11 and eventually be discharged from the drain outlet 133. This can improve the water dripping into the water receiving tank and quickly flow to the drain outlet 133 at a specific location, avoiding excessive accumulation and causing random dripping.

[0058] Understandably, if the water in the water collection trough cannot be drained from the drain outlet 133 quickly, it will cause excessive water accumulation in the water collection trough. If too much water accumulates, the water may drip in a random manner over the side upper baffle or front upper baffle due to the vehicle's inertia, posing a safety hazard.

[0059] Specifically, "a gap is provided between the rear end of the transverse sidewall of the water receiving trough and the rear sidewall to form a drain outlet 133" can refer to: a gap is provided between the rear end of the upper outer edge baffle 132 and the rear brim 16 to form the drain outlet 133. In this case, the upper outer edge baffle 132 does not extend to the rear end of the cover body 11, but has a gap with the rear brim 16, and this gap is the aforementioned drain outlet 133. Optionally, the cover body 11, the upper outer edge baffle 132, and the rear brim 16 each have a flared portion extending outward at the drain outlet 133. The flared portion can extend beyond the transverse end of the central superbrain, so that when the drain outlet 133 drains water, it can effectively prevent water from dripping directly onto the central superbrain below.

[0060] Optionally, see Figure 4-5 as well as Figure 7The rear brim 16 includes a brim body 161 and a brim docking portion 162 connected at an angle. One end of the brim docking portion 162 is connected to the rear end of the cover plate body 11, and the other end of the brim docking portion 162 is connected to one end of the brim body 161. The other end of the brim docking portion 162 is higher than the rear end of the cover plate body 11, and the other end of the brim body 161 extends downward and backward. Thus, the brim docking portion 162 is equivalent to the rear sidewall of the water receiving trough. That is, the brim docking portion 162, the upper side outer edge retaining rib 132, the upper front outer edge retaining rib 131, and the cover plate body 11 form a water receiving trough. At the same time, the brim docking portion 162 is used to connect the brim body 161 and the cover plate body 11 together; while the brim body 161 is used to effectively shield the rear structure of the central super brain. Specifically, the rear brim 16 uses the brim docking portion 162 as the rear sidewall of the water receiving trough.

[0061] See Figure 3-5 as well as Figure 7 Optionally, the cover body 11 includes a front cover body 111 and a rear cover body 112. The front cover body 111 and the rear cover body 112 are respectively inclined with the front higher than the rear, and the rear end of the front cover body 111 is higher than the front end of the rear cover body 112. That is, there is a height difference between the rear end of the front cover body 111 and the front end of the rear cover body 112. The rear end of the front cover body 111 and the front end of the rear cover body 112 are transitionally connected.

[0062] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the top of the central superbrain is not flat. The front half of its top is higher due to the presence of heat dissipation teeth 22, while the rear half is lower. To better coordinate with the top of the central superbrain, as... Figure 3-5 as well as Figure 7 The cover body 11 also includes a higher front cover body 111 and a lower rear cover body 112. The rear end of the front cover body 111 and the front end of the rear cover body 112 are transitionally connected to ensure smooth flow of condensate. Furthermore, see... Figure 3 Because the rear cover body 112 is relatively low, it can better avoid the air outlet structure at the rear of the air conditioner 3.

[0063] See Figure 4 , Figure 6-10Optionally, the water guiding structure includes a front protrusion 1111 that protrudes upward at the front cover plate body 111, the front protrusion 1111 and the front side wall of the water receiving groove (specifically, the aforementioned front upper outer edge baffle 131) enclose a front water guiding groove 141, and the front protrusion 1111 and the transverse side wall of the water receiving groove (specifically, the aforementioned side upper outer edge baffle 132) enclose a side water guiding groove 142.

[0064] And / or, along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the height of the rear cover body 112 gradually decreases from the middle to the lateral end position.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the water receiving tank receives the condensate dripping from the air conditioner 3, if the condensate drips into the front guide water tank 141, since the volume of the front guide water tank 141 is smaller than that of the entire water receiving tank, the condensate dripping into the front guide water tank 141 can easily reach a certain height, and then flow backward and downward along the side guide water tanks 142 on both sides, and finally be discharged from the drain outlet 133, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the water receiving tray receives the condensate dripping from the air conditioner 3, if the condensate drips into the side guide water tank 142, the volume of the side guide water tank 142 is smaller than that of the entire water receiving tray. The condensate dripping into the side guide water tank 142 can easily reach a certain height, and then flow backward and downward at an angle, and finally be discharged from the drain outlet 133, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the water receiving tank receives the condensate dripping from the air conditioner 3, if the condensate drips onto the front protrusion 1111 and reaches a certain amount, it can either flow directly backward to the rear cover body 112 and then be discharged from the drain outlet 133; or it can flow to the side guide water tank 142 and then flow backward through the side guide water tank 142 to the rear cover body 112 and then be discharged from the drain outlet 133; both methods can improve drainage efficiency.

[0068] In this embodiment, see Figure 9 Because the height of the rear cover body 112 gradually decreases from the middle to the lateral end in the left-right direction of the vehicle, condensate flowing from the front cover body 111 onto the rear cover body 112, or condensate dripping directly from the air conditioner 3 onto the rear cover body 112, can quickly accumulate on the left and right sides of the rear cover body 112 and then be quickly discharged from the drain outlet 133.

[0069] See Figure 4 and Figure 6Optionally, the water guiding structure further includes a rib structure that protrudes upward at the cover plate body 11; the rib structure includes a first rib 1112 located in the side water guiding groove 142, one end of the first rib 1112 is connected to the transverse side wall of the water receiving groove, and the other end of the first rib 1112 extends backward in a direction that gradually moves away from the corresponding transverse side wall.

[0070] And / or, the rib structure includes a second rib 15 located at the rear cover plate body 112, the second rib 15 including two oblique rib portions 151, one end of the two oblique rib portions 151 being located at the corresponding drain outlet 133, the other end of the two oblique rib portions 151 extending forward and gradually approaching each other, the other ends of the two oblique rib portions 151 being directly connected or connected through a transverse rib portion 152.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the front cover body 111 receives water, in the vehicle's lateral direction (i.e., the vehicle's left-right direction), most of the condensate on the air conditioner 3 drips between the two first ribs 1112 on the left and right sides. A small portion of the condensate drips between the first ribs 1112 and the lateral sidewalls corresponding to the water receiving groove (which may refer to the aforementioned upper outer edge retaining ribs 132). Furthermore, due to the presence of the front protrusion 1111, most of the condensate on the front cover body 111 flows backward from between the first ribs 1112 and the front protrusion 1111. Therefore, by symmetrically arranging the two first ribs 1112, the flow rate of water from front to back between the two first ribs 1112 can be gradually reduced to increase the flow velocity, thereby further improving the final drainage efficiency. Moreover, the arrangement of the first ribs 1112 can also improve the structural strength of the waterproof cover 1.

[0072] In this embodiment, due to the presence of the second rib 15, for the condensate flowing from the front cover body 111 to the rear cover body 112, this portion of the condensate will flow along the inclined ribs 151 on both sides to the drain outlet 133, which can improve the drainage efficiency of the condensate on the rear cover body 112, ultimately improving the overall drainage efficiency. For the condensate dripping directly from the air conditioner 3 between the second rib 15 and the front end of the rear cover body 112, this portion of the condensate will also flow along the inclined ribs 151 on both sides to the drain outlet 133, which can improve the drainage efficiency of the condensate on the rear cover body 112, ultimately improving the overall drainage efficiency. For the condensate dripping directly from the air conditioner 3 between the second rib 15 and the rear brim 16, combined with... Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, this part of the condensate will move backward and sideways, and can also quickly flow to the drain outlet 133 to improve drainage efficiency.

[0073] The front ends of the two diagonal ribs 151 can be directly connected, in which case the second convex rib 15 forms a V-shape. Alternatively, as shown... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the front ends of the two diagonal ribs 151 are indirectly connected as one unit through the transverse ribs 152 (transversely extending ribs).

[0074] In other embodiments, the cover body 11 can also be a plate-like structure that gradually slopes downwards from front to back, i.e., the cover body 1 does not have the height difference between the rear end of the aforementioned front cover body 111 and the front end of the aforementioned rear cover body 112. In this case, the guide structure can include the aforementioned front protrusion, but unlike the aforementioned front protrusion, in this embodiment, the rear end of the front protrusion extends to a position close to the rear sidewall of the water receiving tank, thereby forming a front guide channel between the front protrusion and the front sidewall of the water receiving tank, and also forming a rear guide channel between the front protrusion and the rear sidewall of the water receiving tank. A side guide channel extending rearward to the drain outlet 133 is formed between the front protrusion and the transverse sidewall of the water receiving tank. In addition, the guide structure can also include the aforementioned first rib, but unlike the aforementioned first rib, in this embodiment, the rear end of the first rib extends to a position close to the drain outlet 133. Ultimately, this guide structure improves drainage efficiency.

[0075] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 Optionally, the cover plate body 11 is provided with boss structures 12 protruding from both ends of the rib structure, and the boss structures 12 are provided with mounting holes that penetrate the waterproof cover plate 1.

[0076] Specifically, the presence of protruding boss structures 12 at both ends of the rib structure means that boss structures 12 are provided at both ends of each of the first rib 1112 and / or the second rib 15.

[0077] In this embodiment, after the waterproof cover 1 is placed on top of the vehicle control device 2, it can be fixed by fasteners passing through the mounting holes of the boss structure 12 and the corresponding connection holes of the vehicle control device 2. The mounting holes are located at the boss structure 12, which strengthens the structural strength at the mounting point and improves the stability of the fastener connection. Furthermore, the boss structure 12 is located at both ends of the rib structure, ensuring a certain distance between the bosses, thus preventing the mounting points of the waterproof cover 1 from being too close together and improving the stability of the fixed waterproof cover 1. Moreover, the connection between the boss structure 12 and the rib structure further enhances the structural strength and stability at the mounting point of the waterproof cover 1.

[0078] Furthermore, the boss structure 12 is higher than the nearby cover plate body 11, which can prevent the fasteners from being corroded by flowing condensate to a certain extent. Specifically, the boss structures 12 at both ends of the first rib 1112 can be located on the side of the first rib 1112 close to the corresponding side upper outer edge retaining rib 132, so as to further reduce the possibility of water corrosion of the fasteners at this location.

[0079] Optionally, a reinforcing structure is provided on the lower side of the waterproof cover 1 to further enhance the structural strength of the waterproof cover 1.

[0080] See Figure 9-10 as well as Figure 12 Because the cover body 11 has many protruding structures, such as the front protrusion 1111, the boss structure 12, the first rib 1112 structure and the second rib 15 structure, and the cover body 11 includes a front cover body 111 and a rear cover body 112 of different heights, the cover body 11 is not a flat plate. Therefore, when the cover body 11 is placed on top of the vehicle control device 2, multiple gap areas will be formed between the cover body 11 and the vehicle control device 2.

[0081] Based on this, a lower outer edge baffle 172 can be provided on the lower edge of the cover body 11 to block the gap between the cover body 11 and the vehicle control device 2. Thus, even if water in the water tank drips in a non-directional manner across the side wall of the tank, the lower outer edge baffle 172 can prevent this water from flowing along the lower side wall of the cover body 11 to the top of the vehicle control device 2. Furthermore, the lower outer edge baffle 172 can further strengthen the structural strength of the waterproof cover 1, effectively preventing the waterproof cover 1 from shaking and producing abnormal noises when the vehicle vibrates. Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 12 As shown, when the lower outer edge baffle 172 is provided, an avoidance opening 1721 can be provided at the position corresponding to the network antenna 212 of the central super brain to prevent interference with the network antenna 212.

[0082] See Figure 12 The lower side of the cover plate body 11 may also be provided with reinforcing transverse ribs 171 extending in the left-right direction of the vehicle and reinforcing longitudinal ribs 174 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle to further improve the structural strength of the waterproof cover plate 1. A brim reinforcing rib 173 may be provided on the lower side between the brim body 161 and the brim docking part 162 to strengthen the strength of the rear brim 16, so that the soft material rear brim 16 can maintain or restore its normal water-repellent state in its natural state; of course, the brim reinforcing rib 173, the brim body 161 and the brim docking part 162 are integrally formed structures and are all made of soft material. The setting of the brim reinforcing rib 173 does not affect the ability of the rear brim 16 to be lifted and deformed.

[0083] Among them, the aforementioned lower outer edge retaining rib 172, reinforcing transverse rib 171, reinforcing longitudinal rib 174, and cap rim reinforcing rib 173 are all reinforcing structures on the lower side of the waterproof cover plate 1. In addition, to facilitate the installation of the waterproof cover plate 1, at least two positioning holes (blind holes) can be provided on the lower side of the waterproof cover plate 1. By pre-positioning the two positioning holes with the corresponding positioning posts on the vehicle control device 2, and then connecting the fasteners sequentially into the mounting holes of the corresponding boss structure 12 and the corresponding connection holes of the vehicle control device 2, the installation efficiency can be improved.

[0084] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle, including a vehicle control device 2 and a waterproof cover 1 as described above, wherein the waterproof cover 1 is disposed on the upper side of the vehicle control device 2.

[0085] Since the technical improvements and effects of the vehicle are at least the same as those of the aforementioned waterproof cover, the vehicle will not be described in detail again.

[0086] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Unless otherwise specified, the term "multiple" means at least two.

[0087] Although the present invention has been disclosed above, its protection scope is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
