Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive generators, and more specifically, to a housing, a generator controller housing, and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] A generator controller is an independent motor controller used in the engine compartment of a car. It contains components such as transistors, capacitors, and circuit boards. Therefore, in order to protect the internal components and enable them to operate normally, a housing is needed to seal and install these components.

[0003] Currently, generator controller housings are typically divided into upper and lower housings, sealed together with adhesive to prevent external water from entering. The sealing process usually involves first applying adhesive to the adhesive groove on the lower housing, then pressing the upper housing onto the lower housing to achieve a seal. Because the adhesive groove on the lower housing has a uniform width, when the dispensing device starts from the initial dispensing position and circles the groove, it returns to the initial dispensing position, resulting in more adhesive at the initial dispensing position than intended. This affects the sealing performance of the connection between the upper and lower housings. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a housing, a generator controller housing, and an automobile, which can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed during use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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.

[0029] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0031] Unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0033] As described in the background section, the generator controller housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing, which are sealed together with adhesive. The lower housing has adhesive grooves within which the adhesive is distributed. Because the width and depth of the adhesive grooves on existing generator controller housings are uniform, when using the "dry assembly method (CIPG process)" to assemble the upper and lower housings, the initial adhesive application point may not seal properly, affecting the sealing performance of the connection between the upper and lower housings.

[0034] The CIPG process involves using automated dispensing equipment to evenly apply silicone into a glue tank. After the silicone cures, the upper and lower shells are sealed together using mechanical pressing. However, during dispensing, the automated equipment starts from the initial dispensing position, dispenses glue around the glue tank, and then returns to the initial position. This repeated dispensing at the initial position results in more glue than the preset amount. The excess glue at the initial position solidifies into a larger volume than intended (the volume may be higher or wider), causing the upper and lower shells to not fully adhere at the joint, ultimately leading to a poor seal.

[0035] Furthermore, if it is necessary to repair or replace the internal components, the sealed upper and lower shells need to be disassembled. Since the upper and lower shells are sealed together with glue, there is a lack of leverage points for disassembly from the outside of the shell, making it very difficult and inconvenient to separate the upper and lower shells, which affects the use.

[0036] Based on the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this utility model provide a housing, a generator controller housing, and a vehicle. The housing can solve the above problems, and the housing can be applied to both the generator controller housing and the vehicle. The following will describe them in detail.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The housing 1 has an adhesive groove 10 and an expansion groove 11 on its end face, with the expansion groove 11 connected to the initial dispensing position of the adhesive groove 10. A pry hole 12 is provided on the side of the housing 1, spaced apart from the adhesive groove 10. When the automated dispensing equipment starts dispensing from the initial dispensing position, circles the adhesive groove 10, and returns to the initial dispensing position, excess adhesive overflows into the expansion groove 11. The height or width of the solidified adhesive 2 does not affect the sealing connection of the housing 1, thus improving the overall sealing performance of the housing 1. Furthermore, the housing 1 also has pry holes 12, spaced apart from the adhesive groove 10. The pry holes 12 provide leverage points for disassembly, making disassembly of the housing 1 easier and less strenuous. The expansion groove 11 corresponds to the initial dispensing position of the automated dispensing equipment.

[0038] Since the automated dispensing equipment repeatedly dispenses glue at the initial dispensing position, the volume of the expansion tank 11 is at least able to accommodate the amount of glue dispensed by the automated dispensing equipment in a single dispensing at the initial dispensing position, thus preventing excessive glue from overflowing from the expansion tank 11.

[0039] Optionally, the end face portion of the housing 1 extends outward and an expansion groove 11 is provided at the extension.

[0040] The expansion groove 11 can have various shapes, such as trapezoidal groove, semi-circular groove, elliptical groove, polygonal groove, etc.

[0041] Optionally, the expansion tank 11 is a trapezoidal tank, with its lower base connected to the glue tank 10. The length of the lower base is greater than the length of the upper base, allowing excess glue at the initial dispensing position to flow quickly into the expansion tank 11, preventing the glue from solidifying as it flows into the expansion tank 11. The length of the lower base of the trapezoidal tank is not less than 10 mm, the width of the trapezoidal tank is not less than 3 mm, and the depth of the trapezoidal tank is the same as the depth of the glue tank 10.

[0042] Optionally, the expansion tank 11 is a semi-circular tank, with the diameter side of the semi-circular tank connected to the glue tank 10. This arrangement not only allows the glue to flow quickly into the expansion tank 11, but also allows the semi-circular tank to hold more glue.

[0043] Optionally, the expansion tank 11 is a rectangular tank, with its long side connected to the glue tank 10, so that glue can be quickly introduced into the expansion tank 11. The rectangular tank has the advantage of simple processing and is easy to standardize.

[0044] Of course, the form of the expansion groove 11 described above is merely an exemplary illustration and is not intended to limit the form of the expansion groove 11. In other embodiments, the expansion groove 11 can also be any regular or irregular groove such as a triangular groove or a rhomboid groove.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The housing 1 is also provided with pry holes 12 and positioning connection holes 13. The pry holes 12 are located on the outer wall of the housing 1, and there are multiple pry holes 12, spaced apart from each other, evenly distributed around the perimeter of the housing 1. There are also multiple positioning connection holes 13, distributed circumferentially along the housing 1. The pry holes 12 can have various forms, such as round holes, square holes, rectangular holes, or prism holes, etc., and are not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the pry hole 12 shown is a rectangular hole.

[0046] refer to Figure 3 The outer side of the housing 1 is also provided with a wiring terminal 14, which communicates with the interior of the housing 1 and is used to arrange wiring terminals to facilitate the connection between the internal components of the housing 1 and the external components of the housing 1. Of course, the wiring terminal 14 is sealed with a sealing ring.

[0047] The terminal 14 is arranged at an angle. The angled arrangement allows the upper part of the terminal 14 to be lower than the groove 10 of the housing 1, so as not to affect the mating connection of the housing 1. At the same time, the angled arrangement of the terminal 14 also helps to save installation space and improve space utilization.

[0048] The angle of inclination of terminal 14 is 30-45° with the horizontal plane, such as 30°, 35°, 40°, or 45°.

[0049] The housing 1 can be injection molded from high-strength engineering plastics, which has excellent high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and can adapt to the harsh working environment inside the car engine compartment. Of course, the housing 1 can also be made of aluminum alloy or other metals / alloys to enhance heat dissipation performance. There are no restrictions on the material and manufacturing method of the housing 1.

[0050] The housing 1 of this utility model not only solves the problem of poor sealing caused by excessive glue at the initial glue application position in the glue tank 10, but also solves the problem of lack of leverage points when disassembling the housing 1, making the disassembly of the housing 1 more convenient and labor-saving, and facilitating disassembly by maintenance personnel.

[0051] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a generator controller housing, comprising an upper housing and a lower housing, wherein the upper housing and the lower housing are sealed together, and the upper housing and / or the lower housing is the aforementioned housing 1.

[0052] The glue groove 10 and expansion groove 11 are located on the end face of the lower shell, while the pry hole 12 and positioning connection hole 13 are located on the side of the lower shell. The pry hole 12 provides a leverage point when separating the upper and lower shells, facilitating disassembly. In actual operation, the user can insert a tool into the pry hole 12 and then pry open the upper and lower shells. The positioning connection hole 13 is used to fix the upper and lower shells together. Of course, the upper shell also has a positioning connection hole 13, which is compatible and corresponds to the positioning connection hole 13 on the lower shell. The upper and lower shells can be fixed by a pin connection or by screws / bolts. Therefore, the positioning connection hole 13 can be a pin hole or a threaded hole.

[0053] There are multiple pry holes 12. The upper or lower shell can be pried open simultaneously through multiple pry holes 12. This not only allows for quick separation of the upper and lower shells, but also prevents the upper / lower shell and the colloid 2 from being squeezed when pried open with a single pry hole 12, thus avoiding deformation or damage to the upper / lower shell and the colloid 2. "Multiple" here refers to two or more. When there are two pry holes 12, the two pry holes 12 are distributed on opposite sides of the lower shell.

[0054] Optionally, the pry holes 12 are positioned close to the positioning connection holes 13. When multiple pry holes 12 are pried open simultaneously, the connecting pins on the upper and lower shells separate from the connection holes. The proximity of the pry holes 12 to the positioning connection holes 13 can reduce the frictional force generated when the connecting pins separate from the connection holes, making disassembly easier and disassembly more convenient.

[0055] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the glue groove 10 is disposed on the lower shell, and the glue groove 10 is continuously disposed around the lower shell to form an annular groove, so the number of expansion grooves 11 is one. In other embodiments, the glue groove 10 can also be disposed on the upper shell, and the number of glue grooves 10 can also be multiple, with multiple glue grooves 10 spaced apart and arranged in an annular manner. Correspondingly, the number of expansion grooves 11 is also multiple, and the number of expansion grooves 11 is the same as the number of glue grooves 10.

[0056] An embodiment of this utility model also provides an automobile, including the aforementioned housing 1 or the aforementioned generator controller housing, which has all the functions of the housing 1 or the generator controller housing.

[0057] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
