[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle-mounted equipment technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted electronic device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The chips required for automotive intelligent driving domain control platforms have very strict heat dissipation requirements. In order to ensure the normal operation of electronic components and protect their lifespan, external fans are generally used to blow air onto the housing and important chips. This involves the installation and driving of the fan. The power supply and monitoring for driving the fan motor need to be connected to the motherboard of the device. Usually, the power cable is extended into the housing of the device and connected to the motherboard. Considering the lifespan of the fan, when the fan needs to be replaced, the housing of the device needs to be opened to disconnect the power cable. The operation is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide an in-vehicle electronic device and vehicle that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0025] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the component or structure itself. Furthermore, it should be noted that terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate sequence or importance. Additionally, in the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same element.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this disclosure provides an in-vehicle electronic device, including: a housing 1; a motherboard 2 disposed inside the housing 1, the motherboard 2 having a first connector 3 electrically connected to the motherboard 2; a fan 5 detachably disposed on the outer wall of the housing 1, the fan 5 having a second connector 4 electrically connected to the fan 5; the housing 1 having a connection port 6, the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 both extending into the connection port 6 and being plugged in and conductive.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, the vehicle electronic device can be any electronic device that requires heat dissipation from the fan 5. For example, in this disclosure, the vehicle electronic device is an intelligent driving domain controller for automobiles. The fan 5 is detachably disposed on the outside of the housing 1 and extends into the connection port 6 through the second connector 4. It is connected to the first connector 3, which also extends into the connection port 6 and is electrically connected to the motherboard 2. In this way, when disassembling and assembling the fan 5, it is only necessary to pull the second connector 4 out of the connection port 6 or insert it, so as to achieve quick disassembly and assembly of the fan 5 without opening the housing 1.

[0028] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, one of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 is constructed as a pin, and the other is constructed as a socket. That is, the fan 5 is electrically connected to the motherboard 2 by plugging the pin into the socket, thereby enabling the motherboard 2 to supply power to the fan 5.

[0029] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first connector 3 is constructed as a retractable pin, and the second connector 4 is constructed as a socket. The socket has a socket 43 that matches the pin. The pin is retractable, meaning its height is adjustable, ensuring that the pin can contact the metal contact inside the socket 43 for electrical conductivity. This creates an interference fit between the pin and the socket 43. After the pin extends to the bottom of the socket 43, the socket 43 presses down on the pin, compressing it. Because there may be some errors during the insertion and removal of the second connector 4 or during production, the pin may not be able to contact the metal contact, resulting in poor contact or no conductivity. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connector 3 can also be constructed as a socket, and the second connector 4 as a pin.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the socket 43 is larger than the diameter of the pin, and the socket 43 is relatively thick to ensure that the pin can be smoothly inserted into the socket 43. This prevents the second connector 4 from being compressed due to friction between the side wall of the socket 43 and the pin during insertion, which would prevent the pin from being fully inserted into the bottom of the socket 43. The length of the pin is greater than or equal to the depth of the socket 43. The bottom of the socket 43 is provided with a metal contact for contacting the pin. The pin is relatively long to ensure that it can be inserted into the bottom of the socket 43 and make contact with the metal contact at the bottom of the socket 43 to conduct electricity.

[0031] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pin includes a fixed cylinder 33, a spring 32, and a pin 31. The pin 31 is inserted into the fixed cylinder 33. The spring 32 is disposed inside the fixed cylinder 33, with one end of the spring 32 connected to the bottom of the fixed cylinder 33 and the other end connected to the end of the pin 31 that extends into the fixed cylinder 33. The pin 31 is telescopically adjustable via the spring 32. The fixed cylinder 33, spring 32, and pin 31 are all conductive materials, such as metal, to ensure the conductivity of the pin. Alternatively, a mounting base can be provided. The mounting base is disposed on the main board 2, and the fixed cylinder 33 is disposed on the mounting base. The mounting base is electrically connected to the main board 2, and the fixed cylinder 33 is electrically connected to the mounting base. For example, the mounting base can be made of metal to achieve conductivity.

[0032] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1-2As shown, the fan 5 has a mounting portion 51 protruding from its outline, and the housing 1 has a mounting position for mounting the fan 5. The second connector 4 is located on the side of the mounting portion 51 facing the housing 1. In related technologies, the fan 5 is mostly circular or regular polygonal, making it difficult to distinguish front from back and left from right. This often leads to confusion about the orientation when plugging in the connector, requiring repeated plugging and unplugging, just like plugging in a USB plug, which often needs to be unplugged and replugged. This disclosure provides a mounting portion 51 that protrudes from the outline and serves as a marker, allowing people to clearly distinguish the orientation of the second connector 4. The housing 1 also has a mounting position, which can be installed by simply aligning the mounting portion 51 with the set orientation and placing the fan 5 in the mounting position. The mounting position can be a marker, a frame, or a connecting hole, as long as it can indicate the installation position.

[0033] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connection port 6 includes a first sleeve 61, and the socket includes a plug-in part 42 and a second sleeve 41 spaced around the plug-in part 42. The first sleeve 61 is inserted between the second sleeve 41 and the plug-in part 42, and the inner diameter of the second sleeve 41 matches the outer diameter of the first sleeve 61. The vehicle electronic device also includes a latch 7 provided on one of the first sleeve 61 or the second sleeve 41 and an opening 8 provided on the other. The latch 7 engages with the opening 8. The socket is positioned by fitting the second sleeve 41 onto the first sleeve 61 and is engaged by the latch 7 and the opening 8. In this disclosure, the latch 7 is provided on the first sleeve 61, and the opening 8 is provided on the second sleeve 41. When plugging in, the second sleeve 41 presses against the latch 7, causing the latch 7 to bend inward toward the first sleeve 61. When the second sleeve 41 is plugged in, the latch 7 pops out and engages with the opening 8.

[0034] Optionally, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a first connecting hole 12, and the fan 5 is provided with a second connecting hole 52. The vehicle electronic device also includes a connector. One end of the connector passes through the second connecting hole 52 and is connected to the first connecting hole 12 to fix the fan 5. For example, the connector is a connecting bolt. The first connecting hole 12 and the second connecting hole 52 are both bolt holes. The second connecting hole 52 is set around the fan 5 and passes through the fan 5. The fan 5 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1 by connecting bolts, which facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0035] As an optional implementation method, such as Figure 1-2As shown, a heat dissipation fin 11 is provided on one side of the housing 1, and a fan 5 is mounted on the heat dissipation fin 11. The heat dissipation fin 11 is used to dissipate heat from the housing 1, while the fan 5, mounted on the heat dissipation fin 11, can not only dissipate heat from the motherboard 2 but also from the heat dissipation fin 11, increasing the heat dissipation speed. The heat dissipation fin 11 has an installation space at the first sleeve 61, that is, the heat dissipation fin 11 has a gap and a clearance groove on the outside of the first sleeve 61 to facilitate socket insertion. Of course, the fan 5 can also be installed in any suitable position on the housing 1.

[0036] The second objective of this disclosure is to provide a vehicle comprising the aforementioned vehicle electronic equipment, wherein when disassembling or assembling the fan 5, only the second connector 4 needs to be pulled out or inserted into the connection port 6, thereby achieving quick disassembly or assembly of the fan 5 without opening the housing 1.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0038] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0039] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
