[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of glass lift controllers, and in particular relates to a glass lift controller housing. Background Technology
[0002] The window regulator controller is a core electronic component of the automotive window control system. It is used to receive the window control signal and drive the window motor to perform the window lifting action. The controller housing is mainly used to house and protect the internal circuit board components. Its ease of assembly, sealing reliability and structural strength directly affect the production assembly efficiency and operational stability of the vehicle's electrical system.
[0003] In existing technologies, most window lift controller housings are assembled and fixed to the cover plate by screws and sealing rings. In actual production and vehicle use, this type of structure requires screwing one by one, which involves many assembly steps, long production cycle, and is not conducive to improving mass production efficiency, and also results in high production costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a housing for a glass lift controller to address the aforementioned technical problems.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a housing for a glass lift controller, comprising: The housing includes a storage chamber and an opening. The storage chamber is used to place circuit board components. Several snap-fit holes are provided on both sides of the opening along the Y direction. The cover plate is provided with a wiring socket and a contact seat. The wiring socket is used for electrical connection with circuit board components, and the contact seat is connected to the end face of the cover plate near the housing along the Z direction and is provided with a contact bevel. Several snap-fit components are provided on both sides of the cover plate along the Y direction. Each snap-fit component includes a fixing plate and a snap-fit block. The fixing plate is integrally connected to the cover plate and is provided along the Z direction. The snap-fit block is integrally connected to the fixing plate and protrudes along the Y direction for abutting and cooperating with the snap-fit hole along the Z direction. The opening of the shell is also provided with a sloping groove, and a sealing strip is provided on the sloping groove, which abuts against the sloping surface and contacts the sealing strip.
[0006] Furthermore, several first positioning grooves are also provided on both sides of the opening in the Y direction of the shell. Several first positioning blocks are also provided on both sides of the cover plate along the Y direction, and the first positioning blocks protrude along the Y direction; Among them, several first positioning blocks and several first positioning slots are matched and connected one-to-one.
[0007] Furthermore, a second positioning groove is formed between two adjacent first positioning blocks, which is recessed inward along the Y direction; A second positioning block protruding along the Z direction is formed between two adjacent first positioning slots; The second positioning block and the second positioning groove are adapted and connected.
[0008] Furthermore, the snap-fit block is provided with a contact bevel.
[0009] Furthermore, mounting seats are installed on both sides of the housing along the X direction, with the mounting seats protruding along the X direction.
[0010] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are provided between the mounting base and the housing.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: On the one hand, the shell structure achieves a stable connection and fixation between the cover plate and the shell by abutting the snap-fit parts on both sides of the cover plate and the snap-fit holes on the shell along the Z direction. At the same time, it reduces the investment of fasteners in the production process, reduces the assembly complexity, and effectively improves production efficiency and reduces production costs.
[0012] On the other hand, the abutting slope of the abutting seat on the cover plate comes into close contact with the sealing strip in the inclined groove and squeezes the sealing strip, causing the sealing strip to undergo elastic deformation, filling the assembly gap between the abutting seat and the inclined groove, forming a circumferentially continuous sealing structure, preventing external impurities from entering the storage chamber, and achieving sealing protection for the internal circuit board components.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0016] Example 1:
[0017] This embodiment provides a housing for a window lift controller, including: The housing 1 includes a storage chamber and an opening. The storage chamber is used to place circuit board components. Several snap-fit holes 11 are provided on both sides of the opening of the housing 1 along the Y direction. Cover plate 2 is provided with a wiring socket 21 and abutment 22. The wiring socket 21 is used for electrical connection with circuit board components. The abutment 22 is connected to the end face of cover plate 2 near housing 1 along the Z direction and is provided with abutment slope. A plurality of snap-fit parts 3 are disposed on both sides of the cover plate 2 along the Y direction. Each snap-fit part 3 includes a fixing plate 31 and a snap-fit block 32. The fixing plate 31 is integrally connected to the cover plate 2 and is disposed along the Z direction. The snap-fit block 32 is integrally connected to the fixing plate 31 and protrudes along the Y direction, and is used to abut against the snap-fit hole 11 along the Z direction. The opening of the housing 1 is provided with a sloping groove 12, and a sealing strip 4 is provided on the sloping groove 12, which is in contact with the inclined surface and the sealing strip 4.
[0018] In this technical solution, the housing of the window lift controller mainly consists of a housing 1, a cover plate 2, and several snap-fit parts 3. After the three are assembled together, they form a closed receiving space to support and protect the circuit board components used for window lift control. At the same time, it realizes quick snap-fit assembly and gap sealing, and is suitable for the matching installation of vehicle door and window control systems.
[0019] The housing 1 is the basic load-bearing component of the entire controller. It is a box-shaped structure with one open side. The interior of the housing 1 is enclosed to form a storage chamber. The internal space of the storage chamber is used to place and accommodate circuit board components, providing physical protection and a mounting base for the internal electronic components. The open side of the housing 1 forms an opening that communicates with the storage chamber, serving as an operating channel for inserting circuit board components into the storage chamber. Several snap-fit holes 11 are provided on both side walls along the Y direction at the opening of the housing 1. The snap-fit holes 11 are through holes that penetrate the side walls and are arranged at intervals along the X direction of the side walls. They are used to form a Z-direction snap-fit with the snap-fit structure on the cover plate 2, preventing the cover plate 2 from detaching from the housing 1 along the Z direction.
[0020] A groove 12 is provided at the end face of the opening of the housing 1. The groove 12 extends continuously along the circumference of the opening. The bottom surface of the groove is inclined. A sealing strip 4 is embedded inside the groove 12. The sealing strip 4 is made of a flexible material that can produce elastic deformation, such as rubber. Its cross-sectional profile is adapted to the shape of the groove 12. After assembly, part of the structure of the sealing strip 4 protrudes from the groove opening of the groove 12. It is used to fill the assembly gap between the housing 1 and the cover plate 2 after being squeezed, and to prevent external dust and moisture from entering the storage chamber.
[0021] The cover plate 2 is a plate-shaped sealing component whose overall outline matches the opening outline of the housing 1. It is used to seal the opening of the housing 1, separating the storage room from the external environment. A wiring socket 21 is integrated on the cover plate 2. The wiring socket 21 extends through the plate body of the cover plate 2 in the Z direction. Its end facing the storage room can form an electrical connection with the internal circuit board components, and its end facing the outside is used to connect to the external connection harness, realizing the power and signal transmission between the internal circuit of the controller and the external system. An abutment seat 22 is connected to the end face of the cover plate 2 facing the housing 1. The abutment seat 22 extends continuously along the circumference of the cover plate 2. The end face of the abutment seat 22 facing the housing 1 is set as an abutment slope. The inclination angle of the abutment slope corresponds to the inclination angle of the bottom surface of the inclined groove 12 on the housing 1. When the cover plate 2 is assembled in place, the abutment slope comes into close contact with the sealing strip 4 in the inclined groove 12 and applies pressure to it, causing the sealing strip 4 to undergo elastic deformation and form a continuous circumferential sealing surface.
[0022] Several snap-fit pieces 3 are respectively disposed on both sides of the cover plate 2 along the Y direction. Each snap-fit piece 3 is an integral structure consisting of a fixing plate 31 and a snap-fit block 32. The fixing plate 31 is a long strip of plastic plate with a certain degree of elasticity. Its upper end is integrally connected to the side edge of the cover plate 2. The plate extends towards the housing 1 along the Z direction and can undergo elastic deformation under the action of lateral external force. The snap-fit block 32 is integrally formed on the surface of the fixing plate 31 facing the inner wall of the housing 1 and protrudes outward along the Y direction to form a Z-direction abutment with the hole wall of the snap-fit hole 11. When the cover plate 2 is assembled into the housing 1, the snap-fit block 32 extends into the inside of the opening of the housing 1 along with the fixing plate 31. Under the pressure of the inner wall of the housing 1, the fixing plate 31 causes the snap-fit block 32 to undergo elastic bending deformation inward. After the cover plate 2 is assembled in place, the snap-fit block 32 moves to the corresponding position of the snap-fit hole 11, the fixing plate 31 elastically resets, and the snap-fit block 32 snaps into the inside of the snap-fit hole 11. Through the snap-fit abutment surface abutting against the wall of the snap-fit hole 11 in the Z direction, the cover plate 2 is prevented from coming out in the opposite direction of assembly, thus realizing the snap-fit fixation of the cover plate 2 and the housing 1 without fasteners.
[0023] Furthermore, mounting seats 5 are installed on both sides of the housing 1 along the X direction. The mounting seats 5 protrude along the X direction, and reinforcing ribs 6 are provided between the mounting seats 5 and the housing 1. By providing mounting seats 5 on the outer walls of both sides of the housing 1 along the X direction, and the mounting seats 5 protruding outwards from the housing 1 along the X direction, and the mounting seats 5 having through mounting holes for inserting and fixing connectors, the entire controller housing is fixedly installed at the corresponding mounting position on the vehicle door panel, thus achieving overall controller fixation.
[0024] A reinforcing rib 6 is provided at the connection between the mounting base 5 and the outer wall of the housing 1. The reinforcing rib 6 is integrally connected to the outer wall of the housing 1 and the bottom surface of the mounting base 5. It is distributed in a triangular shape below the mounting base 5 to enhance the connection strength between the mounting base 5 and the housing 1, improve the bending and deformation resistance of the mounting base 5, and prevent the mounting base 5 from breaking due to stress during installation or use.
[0025] In summary, this housing structure achieves a stable connection and fixation between the cover plate 2 and the housing 1 by the snap-fit parts 3 on both sides of the cover plate 2 and the snap-fit holes 11 on the housing 1 along the Z direction. At the same time, it reduces the investment of fasteners in the production process, reduces the assembly complexity, effectively improves production efficiency and reduces production costs.
[0026] At the same time, the abutting slope of the abutting seat 22 on the cover plate 2 is in close contact with the sealing strip 4 in the inclined groove 12 and squeezes the sealing strip 4, causing the sealing strip 4 to undergo elastic deformation, filling the assembly gap between the abutting seat 22 and the inclined groove 12, forming a circumferentially continuous sealing structure, blocking external impurities from entering the storage chamber, and achieving sealing protection for the internal circuit board components.
[0027] Example 2:
[0028] This embodiment provides a housing for a glass lift controller, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0029] Furthermore, a number of first positioning grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the opening of the housing 1 along the Y direction; a number of first positioning blocks 23 are provided on both sides of the cover plate 2 along the Y direction, and the first positioning blocks 23 protrude along the Y direction; the number of first positioning blocks 23 and the number of first positioning grooves 13 are matched and connected one-to-one.
[0030] Furthermore, a second positioning groove 24 is formed between two adjacent first positioning blocks 23, which is recessed in the Y direction; A second positioning block 14 protruding along the Z direction is formed between two adjacent first positioning grooves 13; the second positioning block 14 and the second positioning groove 24 are adapted to be connected.
[0031] In this technical solution, several first positioning grooves 13 are provided on both end faces of the opening of the housing 1 along the Y direction. The first positioning grooves 13 are recessed into the housing 1 along the Z direction and are distributed at intervals along the X direction of the side wall of the housing 1. Several first positioning blocks 23 are provided at corresponding positions on both sides of the cover plate 2 along the Y direction. The first positioning blocks 23 protrude outward along the Y direction and extend towards one side of the housing 1 along the Z direction. The positions of the several first positioning blocks 23 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the several first positioning grooves 13. When the cover plate 2 is assembled into the housing 1, the first positioning blocks 23 are embedded into the interior of the first positioning grooves 13, and the side walls of the two are in contact with each other, which limits the assembly position of the cover plate 2 in the X and Y directions, prevents the cover plate 2 from shifting laterally after assembly, ensures that the snap-fit block 32 and the snap-fit hole 11 can be accurately aligned and engaged, and improves the positional accuracy of the cover plate 2 after assembly.
[0032] The space between two adjacent first positioning blocks 23 forms a second positioning groove 24, which is recessed into the cover plate 2 along the Y direction; the raised area between two adjacent first positioning grooves 13 forms a second positioning block 14, which protrudes into the cover plate 2 along the Z direction; when the first positioning block 23 is embedded in the first positioning groove 13, the second positioning block 14 is correspondingly embedded in the second positioning groove 24, and the side walls of the two are in contact with each other, forming an interlocking fitting structure with the first positioning block 23 and the first positioning groove 13, further increasing the lateral limiting contact area between the cover plate 2 and the housing 1, improving the anti-misalignment capability after assembly, making the cover plate 2 less prone to displacement when subjected to lateral external force, and ensuring the stability of the sealing contact surface position.
[0033] Example 3:
[0034] This embodiment provides a housing for a glass lift controller, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0035] Furthermore, the snap-fit block 32 is provided with a contact slope 33. By providing a contact slope 33 on the side of the snap-fit block 32 facing the opening of the housing 1, during the process of the cover plate 2 being installed into the housing 1, the contact slope 33 first contacts the edge of the opening of the housing 1. Through the guiding effect of the slope, the pressing force in the Z direction is converted into a component force in the Y direction, so that the fixing plate 31 deforms smoothly inward, driving the snap-fit block 32 to slide into the housing 1, reducing the jamming resistance during the assembly process, and making the pressing assembly process of the cover plate 2 smoother.
