Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts and equipment, specifically a protection device for engine controllers. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive industry, automotive engine controllers (as per the instruction manual) Figure 5 As one of the core control components of a car, the stability and reliability of its performance are directly related to the overall operation of the car.

[0003] Currently, most existing automotive engine controllers are assembled using a plastic housing. While plastic housings offer some cost advantages and insulation, their protective capabilities are extremely weak in the face of the complex and ever-changing driving environment. During operation, vehicles inevitably encounter various road conditions, such as bumpy roads and sudden collisions, all of which subject the engine controller to external impacts. When driving on bumpy roads, continuous vibrations are generated, which the plastic housing cannot effectively buffer or absorb. These vibrations are directly transmitted to the delicate electronic components inside the engine controller. Prolonged exposure to this vibration environment can cause the solder joints of electronic components to loosen or detach, leading to unstable circuit connections and affecting the normal operation of the engine controller, resulting in signal transmission errors and control malfunctions. In the event of a collision, the plastic housing is even less able to withstand the enormous impact force. It may crack, deform, or even directly damage the internal electronic components, causing the engine controller to completely fail. Therefore, this application proposes a protection device for an engine controller. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0018] The engine controller protection device is mainly used for the assembly and protection of the engine controller 16 in the engine compartment of an automobile, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the protective device includes a back plate 1, a side plate 2, and a connecting strip 3. The back plate 1, the side plate 2, and the connecting strip 3 are made of aluminum alloy, which has the characteristics of high strength and light weight. This ensures the robustness of the protective device without adding too much burden to the car.

[0019] In this embodiment, a pair of side plates 2 are arranged side by side, with the pair of side plates 2 positioned at both ends of one side of the back plate 1. A raised strip 7 is provided at both ends of the back plate 1 facing the side plates 2, and the pair of raised strips 7 are aligned with the pair of side plates 2. The raised strips 7 serve a positioning and initial fixing function, facilitating the assembly of the automotive engine controller 16. A connecting strip 3 is connected between the ends of the pair of side plates 2 away from the back plate 1, and the connecting strip 3 is parallel to the back plate 1. Furthermore, a reinforcing strip 13 is fixedly connected between the pair of connecting strips 3. The reinforcing strip 13 enhances the structural stability of the entire protective device, making it less prone to deformation under external impact.

[0020] Furthermore, a pressure plate 4 is provided on the side of the pair of side plates 2 facing each other and towards the back plate 1, and a pair of ear plates 5 are provided on the side of the pair of side plates 2 facing away from each other and towards the back plate 1. A connector 6 is provided between the ear plates 5 and the back plate 1. The connector 6 includes a threaded sleeve 8 and a connecting screw 12. The threaded sleeve 8 is fixed to the back plate 1 and is located on the side of the protrusion 7 facing the end face of the back plate 1. The connecting screw 12 is threaded through the ear plate 5 and is threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve 8. By rotating the connecting screw 12, the distance between the ear plate 5 and the back plate 1 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the pressure plate 4 and the back plate 1 to accommodate the ear block clamping of different models of automotive engine controllers 16.

[0021] Furthermore, the pressure plate 4 has a first adapter hole 14 and a second adapter hole 15, the second adapter hole 15 being elongated. The first adapter hole 14 and the second adapter hole 15 are used to mate with the mounting holes on the lugs at both ends of the automotive engine controller 16.

[0022] Furthermore, multiple through slots 10 are formed in the middle of the back plate 1. These through slots 10 reduce material usage and production costs, and also facilitate heat dissipation of the automotive engine controller 16, preventing its performance from being affected by excessive temperature. Mounting holes 9 are provided at both ends of the back plate 1, located on the side of the protrusion 7 facing the end face of the back plate 1. The entire protective device can be installed in the automotive engine compartment through the mounting holes 9. A baffle 11 is provided on the side of the back plate 1 facing the side plate 2, which limits and blocks the automotive engine controller 16 inserted between the connecting strip 3, the side plate 2, and the back plate 1, preventing it from shaking within the protective device.

[0023] Specifically, after connecting the wiring to the automotive engine controller 16, insert it between the back plate 1, a pair of side plates 2, and a pair of connecting strips 3, so that the lugs at both ends of the automotive engine controller 16 are inserted between the pressure plate 4 and the back plate 1, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown. At this time, the first adapter hole 14 on the pressure plate 4 is aligned with one of the mounting holes on the lugs at both ends of the automotive engine controller 16, and the second adapter hole 15 is aligned with the remaining mounting holes on the lugs of the automotive engine controller 16. By passing screws through these adapter holes and mounting holes, the automotive engine controller 16 can be fixed to the pressure plate 4. Then, by rotating the connecting screw 12 to make it threadedly engage with the threaded sleeve 8, the distance between the pressure plate 4 and the back plate 1 is adjusted, and the lugs of the automotive engine controller 16 are clamped, completing the assembly.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model: When the automotive engine controller 16 requires assembly and protection, its connecting wires are inserted into the space enclosed by the back plate 1, a pair of side plates 2, and a pair of connecting strips 3. Simultaneously, the lugs at both ends are inserted between the pressure plate 4 and the back plate 1. The baffle 11 limits and blocks one side of the automotive engine controller 16. The first adapter hole 14 and the second adapter hole 15 on the pressure plate 4 are aligned with the assembly holes on the lugs of the automotive engine controller 16, and are initially fixed with screws. Then, by rotating the connecting screw 12, which is threaded to the lug 5 and threaded into the threaded sleeve 8, the lug 5 moves the side plate 2, adjusting the distance between the pressure plate 4 and the back plate 1, clamping the lugs of the automotive engine controller 16 for secure assembly. At this point, the back plate 1, the pair of side plates 2, the pair of connecting strips 3, and the reinforcing strips 13 form a protective enclosure for the automotive engine controller 16, reducing damage caused by accidental collisions. Simultaneously, the through slot 10 on the back plate 1 facilitates heat dissipation during operation of the automotive engine controller 16.
