Detailed Implementation

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated in this description is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the parts or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a central processing unit (CPU) protection device, which specifically includes a protective section. The protective section includes a first protective section 10 and a second protective section 20. The first protective section 10 is mounted on the top of a CPU 30. One end of the CPU 30 has a wiring harness 31. The second protective section 20 extends downward from the end of the first protective section 10 near the wiring harness 31 and in a direction away from the CPU 30. That is, the second protective section 20 extends downward and away from the first protective section 10 at an angle relative to the first protective section 10. The protective device provided by this utility model can provide physical protection for the CPU 30. The first protective section 10 covers the top of the CPU 30 from left to right, protecting the CPU 30 body. The second protective section 20 covers the ends of the CPU 30 from top to bottom, protecting the wiring harness 31 located at the ends. Therefore, this protective device can prevent damage to the CPU 30 body and the wiring harness 31, improving the service life of the CPU 30.

[0024] Please continue reading. Figure 3The first protective part 10 is provided with a guide channel 11 and a drain outlet 12 communicating with the guide channel 11. The guide channel 11 is located on the outer periphery of the first protective part 10, and the drain outlet 12 is located on both sides of the first protective part 10, and is located at one end of the first protective part 10 near the second protective part 20. Preferably, sound insulation cotton (not shown in the figure) is also provided at the water outlet position of the drain outlet 12. The present invention, through the setting of the guide channel 11 and the drain outlet 12, can also prevent water from entering the vehicle interior slightly and dripping onto the central processing unit 30, thus preventing damage to the internal components of the central processing unit 30. It should be noted that slight water entering the vehicle interior includes, but is not limited to: wastewater used by the operator when applying film to the windshield entering the vehicle interior and dripping onto the central processing unit 30, causing damage to the central processing unit 30; and the temperature difference between the air conditioner 40 and the environment when the air conditioner 40 is cooling or heating, which easily produces condensation below the air conditioner 40, and the condensation dripping onto the central processing unit 30, causing damage to the central processing unit 30. The design of the guide channel 11 and the drain outlet 12 allows water droplets that slightly enter the vehicle's interior to fall onto the first protective part 10 and flow into the guide channel 11. The guide channel 11 then directs the water to the drain outlet 12, where it is discharged. Since the bottom of the drain outlet 12 is equipped with sound-absorbing cotton or similar devices, the water droplets discharged from the drain outlet 12 eventually drip onto the sound-absorbing cotton, are absorbed by it, and then evaporate due to the heat generated by the engine inside the vehicle. Therefore, the first protective part 10 effectively prevents water damage and avoids damage to the internal components of the central processing unit 30.

[0025] Furthermore, since the air conditioner 40 is located above the central processing unit 30, and the air conditioner 40 includes an air conditioner outlet assembly 41 and an air conditioner duct 42, condensate generally forms at the air conditioner outlet assembly 41. Therefore, the first protective part 10 is located below the air conditioner outlet assembly 41. In this way, the first protective part 10 can prevent the condensate generated at the air conditioner outlet assembly 41 from dripping onto the central processing unit 30 and causing damage to the internal parts of the central processing unit 30. The second protective part 20 is made of rubber and is located on the side of the air conditioner duct 42. There is a certain gap between the second protective part 20 and the air conditioner duct 42. Since the air conditioner duct 42 is made of a relatively soft material, the second protective part 20 can prevent the end of the first protective part 10 from damaging the air conditioner duct 42.

[0026] Furthermore, a baffle 13 is provided on the outer side of the flow channel 11, and the baffle 13 extends upward from the outer side of the flow channel 11. The baffle 13 can further prevent water in the flow channel 11 from overflowing onto the central processing unit 30 or other components inside the vehicle.

[0027] Furthermore, to prevent water from accumulating on the first protective part 10, the first protective part 10 is tilted downwards on the central processing unit 30 from the direction away from the second protective part 20 to the direction closer to the second protective part 20, with an tilt angle greater than or equal to 5°, preferably 5°, so that water can flow downwards to the drain outlet 12; to avoid the tilt angle being too large and affecting the heat dissipation of the air conditioner 40, the distance between the first protective part 10 and the air conditioner outlet assembly 41 needs to be greater than or equal to 15mm.

[0028] Furthermore, the first protective part 10 includes an upper protective part 10a and a lower protective part 10b connected to the upper protective part 10a. The height of the lower protective part 10b is lower than the height of the upper protective part 10a, and the drain outlets 12 are provided on both sides of the lower protective part 10b. The height difference between the upper protective part 10a and the lower protective part 10b can form a buffer platform, slowing down the water flow speed and preventing the water flow from being too rapid and overflowing the drain outlets 12.

[0029] Specifically, the upper protective part 10a is provided with a plane 14 and a drainage surface 15. The plane 14 is located in the middle of the upper protective part 10a, and the drainage surface 15 is connected to the outer periphery of the plane 14 and extends downward from the outer periphery of the plane 14 and toward the direction close to the guide groove 11. After water droplets fall into the plane 14, they can flow into the guide groove 11 under the guidance of the drainage surface 15. The lower protective part 10b is provided with a connecting plate 16 at one end away from the upper protective part 10a. The connecting plate 16 extends upward from the lower protective part 10b and toward the direction away from the lower protective part 10b. The second protective part 20 is connected to the lower protective part 10b through the connecting plate 16. Specifically, the connecting plate 16 and the lower protective part 10b are connected by a thermoplastic method. The connecting plate 16 serves two purposes: first, it forms a barrier between itself and the lower protective part 10b, preventing water from flowing out of the second protective part 20 onto other parts inside the vehicle and causing damage; second, it collects water on the lower protective part 10b into the drain outlet 12, from which it flows out onto the sound insulation cotton.

[0030] Please continue reading. Figure 4 The central processing unit 30 is provided with mounting bolts 52 that can mate with mounting nuts 51, and the first protective part 10 is provided with mounting holes through which the mounting bolts 52 can pass. The first protective part 10 is mounted on the central processing unit 30 through the cooperation of mounting nuts 51 and mounting bolts 52. It should be noted that the number of mounting nuts 51, mounting bolts 52, and mounting holes is not limited and can be set according to the actual installation needs of the first protective part 10. In this embodiment, a total of 6 mounting bolts 52, 6 mounting holes that mate with the mounting bolts 52, and 6 mounting nuts 51 that mate with the mounting bolts 52 are provided. Among them, four mounting holes are provided on the upper protective part 10a and two mounting holes are provided on the lower protective part 10b.

[0031] Furthermore, the first protective part 10 is a plastic protective plate. The use of plastic material can reduce the weight of the first protective part 10 and reduce production costs. In addition, the second protective part 20 is a rubber protective plate. The use of rubber material is because rubber is soft and will not damage the air conditioning duct 42. It should be noted that the first and second protective parts can be integrally molded into a protective part or thermoplastically connected into a protective part.

[0032] As described above, the central processing unit protection device provided by this utility model can provide physical protection for the central processing unit 30 by setting the first protective part 10 and the second protective part 20, so as to avoid damage to the central processing unit 30 body and wiring harness 31. In addition, the setting of the guide groove 11 and the drain outlet 12 on the first protective part 10 can also prevent water droplets from falling on the central processing unit 30 due to slight water ingress into the vehicle, thus preventing damage to the internal parts of the central processing unit 30 and improving the service life of the central processing unit 30.

[0033] This utility model also provides a vehicle including the central processing unit protection device as described above. For other structures of the vehicle, please refer to the prior art, which will not be repeated here.
