[0037] The exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this disclosure provides an electronic controller, including: a mounting component 1, a connector 2, an integrated circuit box 3, a first elastic component 5, and a cooling assembly 4.

[0039] Mounting component 1 includes a first mounting part 11 and a second mounting part 12. The first mounting part 11 is used to connect with an external device to realize the connection between the electronic controller and the external device.

[0040] The connector includes a first connecting part 21 and a second connecting part 22, wherein the first connecting part 21 is connected to the second mounting part 12.

[0041] The integrated circuit box includes a first opening 31 and an integrated circuit board. The first opening 31 communicates with the interior of the integrated circuit box, the integrated circuit board is housed inside the integrated circuit box, and the integrated circuit box is connected to the second connecting part 22.

[0042] The first elastic element is disposed between the first connecting part 21 and the integrated circuit box to prevent the mounting part 1 or the connecting part from directly damaging the integrated circuit box when the external device shakes or the electronic controller is impacted, thus playing a buffering role.

[0043] The air-cooling assembly includes a heat sink 41 and an air-cooling section 42. The heat sink 41 includes a first air duct 411, and the air-cooling section 42 is housed within the first air duct 411. The first air duct 411 has a first end and a second end that are interconnected. The first end of the first air duct 411 is connected to a first opening 31, and the second end of the first air duct 411 is connected to the outside. The air-cooling section 42 is used to generate airflow to dissipate heat from the integrated circuit box. Specifically, after the air-cooling assembly is started, it uses the generated airflow to draw the heat generated by the integrated circuit board inside the integrated circuit box during operation to the external environment through the first air duct 411, thereby dissipating heat from the integrated circuit box. Alternatively, after the air-cooling assembly is started, it uses the generated airflow to blow air onto the integrated circuit box to achieve a cooling effect.

[0044] It should be noted that:

[0045] External devices can be understood as any device that the electronic controller can control, such as vehicles, robots, drones, etc., without specific limitations.

[0046] The specific structure, shape, size, and materials of mounting component 1 and connector can be selected and adjusted as needed, and are not specifically limited here. The goal is to achieve a secure connection between the integrated circuit box and mounting component 1 via the connector, as well as a secure connection between mounting component 1 and external devices.

[0047] The air-cooling unit 42 can be a fan, blower, etc., and there is no specific limitation here. It just needs to be able to generate airflow to dissipate heat from the integrated circuit box.

[0048] According to the technology disclosed herein, the electronic controller can dissipate heat from the integrated circuit box using a fan-cooling component. Simultaneously, the electronic controller can also utilize a first elastic element to buffer and protect the integrated circuit box when the electronic controller is shaken or impacted by external factors.

[0049] In one embodiment, a first filter 44 is detachably provided at the second end of the first air duct 411. The first filter 44 can prevent impurities or dust in the outside air from entering the interior of the integrated circuit box, thus preventing short circuits in the integrated circuit boards inside the integrated circuit box. Furthermore, since the first filter 44 is detachable, it can be cleaned and reused.

[0050] In one embodiment, the outer cover of the second end is provided with a filter seat 43, the filter seat 43 is provided with a second air duct 431, the second air duct 431 has a third end and a fourth end that are connected to each other, the third end is connected to the second end, the fourth end is connected to the outside, and the first filter screen 44 is detachably provided at the fourth end.

[0051] In one embodiment, the integrated circuit box further includes a second opening 32, which communicates with the interior of the integrated circuit box, and a second filter 33 is detachably disposed on the second opening 32. Because the second filter 33 is detachable, it can be cleaned and reused.

[0052] In one embodiment, the integrated circuit box further includes an interface 6, through which the integrated circuit board is connected to an external device to enable the electronic controller to control the corresponding functions of the external device.

[0053] In one embodiment, the outer edge of the first connecting portion 21 coincides with the outer edge of the second mounting portion 12. This effectively increases the strength between the first connecting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 12, making it less likely for the integrated circuit box to be damaged when the electronic controller is subjected to impact or shaking. The double-layered first connecting portion 21 and second mounting portion 12 can better protect the integrated circuit box.

[0054] In one embodiment, the heat sink 41 is detachably connected to the integrated circuit box via a fixing assembly 46. The heat sink 41 includes a mounting cavity 412, and the fixing assembly 46 includes a screw 461, an operating part 464, and a clamping part 462. The screw 461 is threadedly connected to the mounting cavity 412, one end of the screw 461 extends to the outside of the heat sink 41 and is connected to the operating part 464, and the other end of the screw 461 is disposed in the mounting cavity 412 and is connected to the clamping part 462.

[0055] In the first disassembly and assembly mode, the operating part 464 rotates the screw 461 along the first direction of rotation, thereby driving the clamping part 462 to move toward the integrated circuit box until the clamping part 462 is in contact with the integrated circuit box, thereby realizing the stable connection between the heat sink 41 and the integrated circuit box.

[0056] In the second disassembly / assembly mode, the operating part 464 rotates the screw 461 along the second rotation direction, thereby driving the clamping part 462 to move away from the integrated circuit box. The clamping part 462 moves away from the integrated circuit box, thereby realizing the disassembly of the heat sink 41 from the integrated circuit box.

[0057] In one embodiment, a fastening pad 463 is provided at the end of the clamping part 462 away from the screw 461, thereby improving the effect of a stable connection between the heat sink 41 and the integrated circuit box.

[0058] In one embodiment, the first connecting part 21 includes a first plug-in part 211, the first plug-in part 211 having a first plug rod 72, and the first plug rod 72 having a first plug hole 212.

[0059] The second mounting portion 12 includes a second insertion portion 71, which has a first slot 711, a second slot 712, and a third slot 713. The third slot 713 communicates with the first slot 711 and the second slot 712, respectively. A first insertion rod 72 is inserted into the first slot 711. The second insertion portion 71 also includes a fixing rod 73 and a limiting rod 76. The fixing rod 73 is provided with a second insertion hole 731 and a third insertion hole 732. One end of the fixing rod 73 extends to the outside of the second insertion portion 71, and the other end of the fixing rod 73 is slidably inserted into the third slot 713. One end of the limiting rod 76 extends to the outside of the second insertion portion 71, and the other end of the limiting rod 76 is slidably inserted into the second slot 712.

[0060] In the third disassembly and assembly mode, the other end of the fixing rod 73 is inserted into the first insertion hole 212, and the other end of the limiting rod 76 is inserted into the second insertion hole 731, so as to realize the connection between the first insertion part 211 and the second insertion part 71.

[0061] In the fourth disassembly mode, the other end of the fixing rod 73 is not inserted into the first insertion hole 212, and the other end of the limiting rod 76 is inserted into the third insertion hole 732, so as to realize the disassembly of the first insertion part 211 and the second insertion part 71.

[0062] In one embodiment, a fixing slider 74 is provided at the other end of the fixing rod 73, and the fixing slider 74 is connected to the third slot 713 via a second elastic member 75. A limiting slider 77 is provided at the other end of the limiting rod 76, and the limiting slider 77 is connected to the second slot 712 via a third elastic member 78.

[0063] By adopting the above technical solution, pulling the limiting rod 76 causes the limiting slider 77 to move, compressing the third elastic element 78, so that the limiting rod 76 disengages from the second insertion hole 731 of the fixing rod 73. Then, pulling the fixing rod 73 causes the fixing slider 74 to move, compressing the second elastic element 75, so that the fixing rod 73 disengages from the first insertion hole 212. When the fixing rod 73 continues to move until the limiting rod 76 and the third insertion hole 732 coincide, the limiting rod 76 inserts into the third insertion hole 732, limiting and fixing the fixing rod 73 to prevent it from rebounding. Then, the first insertion rod 72 and the second insertion part 71 can be separated, thereby realizing the fourth disassembly and assembly mode, separating the connector from the mounting part 1 to remove the integrated circuit box, which facilitates the inspection, maintenance and disassembly of the integrated circuit box. Conversely, pulling the limiting rod 76 causes the limiting block to move, compressing the third elastic element 78 and causing the limiting rod 76 to disengage from the third insertion hole 732 of the fixing rod 73. Then, pushing the fixing rod 73 causes the fixing slider 74 to move, stretching the second elastic element 75 and causing the fixing rod 73 to insert into the first insertion hole 212. Then, pushing the limiting rod 76 causes the limiting rod 76 to insert into the second insertion hole 731, thereby realizing the third disassembly and assembly mode to fix the connector and the mounting part 1.

[0064] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle is provided, including: a vehicle body and an electronic controller according to any embodiment of this disclosure. The electronic controller is disposed in the vehicle body and connected to the vehicle body via a mounting member 1.
