Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control chambers, and in particular to a novel modular control chamber. Background Technology

[0002] The control compartment is a specialized frame structure mounted on a vehicle to integrate and house the vehicle's core control and operational functional modules. To enable rapid vehicle switching, traditional control compartments are mostly one-piece structures, resulting in large dimensions, high manufacturing costs, and difficulties in transportation. Therefore, a new type of modular control compartment is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a new type of modular control compartment, which has the advantages of modularity for easy transportation, stable connection, and easy disassembly.

[0004] This utility model provides a novel modular control compartment for fixing a vehicle control unit. The control compartment includes a frame and a fixing compartment. The frame includes a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame. The first, second, and third frames are rectangular frames with the same length and height. The first, second, and third frames are connected sequentially from front to back, and the long sides of adjacent frames are fixedly connected by fasteners. The control unit is located in the fixing compartment, which is a rectangular sealed box and detachably connected to the frame.

[0005] Furthermore, the adjacent sides of the frame 1, the frame 2, and the frame 3 are provided with openings. The fastener includes a rotating shaft and an L-shaped plate. The two L-shaped plates are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner around the outer ring of the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is located between the openings of the adjacent frames, and the other end of the rotating shaft extends from the side wall of the adjacent frames. Rotating the rotating shaft causes the L-shaped plate to fit against the inner wall of the adjacent side of the frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the control compartment also includes a bolt and nut assembly. The adjacent sides of the three frames (frame 1, frame 2, and frame 3) are provided with fixing holes that pass through the openings vertically. The L-shaped plate is provided with through holes at positions corresponding to the fixing holes. When the L-shaped plate is attached to the side wall of the adjacent side of the frame, the bolt and nut assembly passes through the fixing holes and through holes for fixing.

[0007] Furthermore, the adjacent sides of frame one, frame two and frame three are hollow square tubes, and the fastener also includes a U-shaped clip, which snaps onto the adjacent sides of the adjacent frames, and the other end of the rotating shaft passes through the middle of the U-shaped clip.

[0008] Furthermore, the side walls of frame one, frame two, and frame three are equipped with multiple bolt mounting components.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention divides the frame into three sections: front, middle, and rear. This not only facilitates production and transportation but also allows for flexible frame installation. Vehicle control units, such as battery modules, intelligent driving control modules, and tool modules, are first fixed in independent, well-sealed rectangular boxes before modular installation. This reduces the assembly difficulty of the control compartment while ensuring its excellent waterproof and dustproof capabilities, thus improving its applicability. To achieve rapid and tight installation between the various frames after loading and fixing the compartment, this invention incorporates fasteners. The rotation of these fasteners, in conjunction with a spiral nut assembly, connects adjacent frames internally, significantly enhancing the connection strength between the modular frames.

[0010] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0011] Undoubtedly, such and other objects of this invention will become more apparent after the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, which are illustrated in various accompanying drawings and illustrations.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a novel modular control compartment for fixing a vehicle control unit, which includes, but is not limited to, modules for controlling vehicle electrical systems, intelligent driving control modules, auxiliary tool modules, etc.

[0020] The control compartment includes a frame 1, a fixed compartment 2, and fasteners 3. Frame 1 includes three frames: frame one 11, frame two 12, and frame three 13. Frame one 11, frame two 12, and frame three 13 are rectangular frames with the same length and height. Frame one 11, frame two 12, and frame three 13 are connected sequentially from front to back, and adjacent long sides of the frames are fixedly connected by fasteners 3. Multiple mounting components for other parts, such as batteries, controllers, valve bodies, and fuel tanks, are installed inside the frame. Inclined reinforcing ribs can be installed on the side walls of the frame to improve the deformation resistance of the rectangular frame; this is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. The control unit is located in the fixed compartment 2. The number and size of the fixed compartments 2 are selected according to the number and size of the control unit. The fixed compartment 2 is a rectangular sealed box and is detachably connected to the frame 1. The three frames of the fixed compartment 2 can be manufactured and transported separately, and then assembled at the installation site. Similarly, the various components and fixed compartments 2 can be installed on the frame first and then assembled, or the frame can be assembled first and then installed. When the various components and the fixed compartment 2 are first installed on the frame, the installation and fixing positions between the frames are limited. In order to increase the internal connection strength, the adjacent sides of the frame 11, frame 2 12 and frame 3 13 are provided with openings 14. The fixing component 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 and an L-shaped plate 32. The two L-shaped plates 32 are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner around the outer ring of the rotating shaft 31. One end of the rotating shaft 31 is located between the openings 14 of the adjacent frames. If necessary, a semi-cylindrical groove is provided on one side of the opening 14. At this time, the semi-cylindrical grooves on the adjacent sides of the adjacent frames are spliced ​​together to form a cavity into which the rotating shaft 31 can be inserted. The other end of the rotating shaft 31 extends from the side wall of the adjacent frame. Rotating the rotating shaft 31 makes the L-shaped plate 32 fit against the inner wall of the adjacent side of the frame. To facilitate the rotation and fixation of the rotating shaft 31, the adjacent sides of the frame 11, frame 2 12, and frame 3 13 are hollow square tubes. The fixing component 3 also includes a U-shaped clip 34, which engages with the adjacent sides of the adjacent frames. The other end of the rotating shaft 31 passes through the middle of the U-shaped clip 34. To increase the connection strength of the fixing component 3, the control compartment also includes a bolt and nut assembly 4. The adjacent sides of the three frames 11, 12, and 13 have fixing holes 15 that extend vertically through the opening 14 at corresponding positions. The L-shaped plate 32 has through holes 33 at corresponding positions of the fixing holes 15. When the L-shaped plate 32 is in contact with the side wall of the adjacent side of the frame, the bolt and nut assembly 4 passes through the fixing holes 15 and the through holes 33 for fixation. The assembly position and assembly method of the bolt and nut assembly 4 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The fastener 3 is used to increase the internal connection between the frames. To ensure operational safety, multiple bolt mounting parts 5 are also required on the side walls of frame one 11, frame two 12 and frame three 13.
