Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle radar heat dissipation, and in particular to a highly sealed heat dissipation module for automotive driver assistance radar. Background Technology
[0002] Vehicle-mounted radar is a crucial component of vehicles with driver assistance features. It generates heat during operation, requiring a cooling module to dissipate this heat promptly for stable operation. Current vehicle-mounted radars require good sealing and heat dissipation performance. The current cooling structure is a split design, with each component sealed by a sealing ring or gasket. However, this design has drawbacks: heat is transferred during operation, maintaining a high temperature over long periods. When the sealing rings or gaskets are exposed to high temperatures for extended periods, they are prone to aging, leading to decreased sealing performance and significantly increasing the risk of leaks, waterproofing failure, and dustproofing failure, resulting in low reliability. Some vehicle models use welded seals, such as laser welding or argon arc welding to seal the metal radar housing. However, this method is difficult and costly to repair. Utility Model Content
