[0051] Fig. Figure 1 shows a vehicle 10 in the form of a passenger car in front view.
[0052] The vehicle 10 includes a driver assistance system 12. With the driver assistance system 12, functions of the vehicle 10, such as driving functions, can be operated autonomously or semi-autonomously.
[0053] The driver assistance system 12 comprises, for example, three electronic devices, namely a central control unit 14, a zone control unit 16 and a detection device 18.
[0054] The detection device 18 is designed as a so-called front camera, for example as a windshield camera. Fig. 2 and Fig. Figure 3 shows details of the detection device 18. Fig. Figure 2 shows the detection device 18 in isometric view. Fig. Figure 3 shows a section through the detection device 18.
[0055] The detection device 18 is shown, by way of example, mounted on the inside of the windshield of the vehicle 10. The detection device 18 allows the area in front of the vehicle 10, in the direction of travel, to be monitored through the windshield, for example, for objects. The detection device 18 can also be located elsewhere on the vehicle 10 and oriented differently to monitor areas outside or inside the vehicle 10.
[0056] The objects can be stationary or moving, such as other vehicles, people, animals, plants, obstacles, uneven road surfaces (e.g., potholes or stones), road boundaries, traffic signs, open areas (e.g., parking lots), precipitation, or similar. The detection device 18 can also be designed to detect movements and / or gestures.
[0057] The detection device 18 is connected to the zone control unit 16 for control and data transmission purposes, for example, via electrical cables or radio. In this way, the zone control unit 16 can control and monitor the functions of the detection device 18. Furthermore, information about the monitored area, obtained by the detection device 18, can be transmitted via the zone control unit 16 to the central control unit 14. The information received by the detection device 18 can be used with the central control unit 14 for the autonomous or semi-autonomous operation of vehicle 10 functions.
[0058] The detection device 18 comprises a housing 20. The housing 20 is composed of a base housing part 22, a bottom housing part 24 and a lens mounting housing part 26.
[0059] The base housing part 22 has a receiving opening for the lens housing part 26. The receiving opening is located in a stepped section of the base housing part 22, in which Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 above. The receiving opening is closed by the lens receiving housing part 26 in the mounted housing 20.
[0060] The base housing part 24 also has an installation opening for a mainboard 28, into which Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 below. The installation opening is located on the side of the base housing part 24 facing away from the receiving opening for the lens housing part 26. The installation opening is located on the side of the base housing part 22 facing the bottom housing part 24. The installation opening is closed by the bottom housing part 24 when the housing 20 is mounted.
[0061] The mainboard 28 and an image sensor board 30 are arranged in the housing 20.
[0062] The mainboard 28 is located between the base housing part 22 and the bottom housing part 24. The mainboard 28 serves as a carrier for various components, including electronic components such as a microcontroller 34. The microcontroller 34 is located on the side of the mainboard 28 facing the bottom housing part 24. Other electronic components, which are located in the Fig. The three components that are concealed are located on the side of the mainboard 28 facing away from the base housing part 24. The electronic components are integrated into the Fig. 3 hidden conductor tracks of the main board 28 are electrically connected.
[0063] The image sensor board 30 is attached to the rear of the lens mount housing part 26. The image sensor board 30 is located inside the housing 20. The image sensor board 30 extends diagonally to the main board 28. The image sensor board 30 serves as a carrier for an image sensor, which is located in the Fig. Figure 3 is obscured and therefore not shown. The image sensor is electrically contacted via conductor tracks on the image sensor board 30. The image sensor is an electronic component, specifically an electro-optical component. Image sensors can also be called "imagers." The image sensor board 30 can also be referred to as an "imager PCB."
[0064] The image sensor board 30 is located in the Fig. 3 electrical connections not shown, for example plug connectors or connecting cables, connected to the main board 28.
[0065] Furthermore, a lens 32 is attached in the lens mounting housing part 26. The lens 32 is aligned such that images from the monitored area are focused onto the image sensor of the image sensor board 30. The lens 32 passes through a [missing information - likely a specific feature or element] in the Fig. 3. Concealed lens mount of the lens mount housing part 26.
[0066] During operation, the microcontroller 34 and other electronic components of the detection device 18 emit electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, the microcontroller 34 and other electronic components are sensitive to incoming electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, to achieve the required electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for the detection device 18, appropriate electromagnetic shielding measures must be taken. Additionally, the microcontroller 34 and other electronic components generate heat during operation. To prevent any impairment of the operation of the microcontroller 34 and the other electronic components, adequate cooling must be ensured.
[0067] The lens mounting housing part 26 is made of metal, for example aluminum. For example, the lens mounting housing part 26 can be manufactured as a die-cast part.
[0068] The lens mount housing part 26 is electrically conductive. This provides electromagnetic shielding. Furthermore, the lens mount housing part 26 is thermally conductive. This allows heat from the interior of the housing 20 to be dissipated to the environment via the lens mount housing part 26.
[0069] The base housing part 24 is made of metal, for example, sheet metal. The base housing part 24 is electrically conductive. In this way, electromagnetic shielding is achieved there with the lens mounting housing part 26. In addition, the base housing part 24 is thermally conductive. In this way, heat from the interior of the housing 20 can be dissipated to the environment via the lens mounting housing part 26.
[0070] The base housing part 22 consists of an electrically conductive plastic compound. For example, the plastic compound is a thermoplastic. The base housing part 22 is manufactured in one piece. The base housing part 22 is manufactured, for example, from the electrically conductive plastic compound using an injection molding process.
[0071] The electrically conductive plastic compound has a plastic matrix with an electrically conductive filler. The electrically conductive filler is an electrically conductive polymer. The material of the base housing part 22 contains no metal. The electrically conductive plastic compound is also thermally conductive.
[0072] Due to the electrical conductivity of the electrically conductive plastic compound, the base housing part 22 provides electromagnetic shielding. Furthermore, due to the thermal conductivity of the electrically conductive plastic compound, heat from the interior of the housing 20 can be dissipated to the environment.
[0073] Overall, the detection device 18 meets the requirements regarding electromagnetic compatibility due to the electrical conductivity of the base housing part 22, the bottom housing part 24 and the lens mounting housing part 26.
[0074] Due to the thermal conductivity of the base housing part 22, the bottom housing part 24, and the lens mount housing part 26, heat generated, for example, by electronic components such as the microcontroller 34 inside the housing 20 during operation of the detection device 18, can be dissipated to the environment. This ensures adequate cooling of the electronic components inside the housing 20.
[0075] To manufacture the detection device 18, the base housing part 20, the bottom housing part 24, and the lens mounting housing part 26 are first prefabricated separately. The base housing part 20 is manufactured using three injection molding processes. The lens mounting housing part 26 is manufactured using a die-casting process. The bottom housing part 24 is formed from sheet metal.
[0076] The image sensor board 30 is attached to the rear of the lens mount housing part 26. The lens 32 is inserted into the lens mount, aligned with the image sensor, and secured. The lens mount housing part 26, with the image sensor board 30 and the lens 32, is positioned in the designated mounting opening of the base housing part 22 and secured there. The main board 28 is then inserted through the mounting opening of the base housing part 22. This establishes the electrical connection between the main board 28 and the image sensor board 30. The mounting opening is then closed with the bottom housing part 24, and the bottom housing part 24 is fixed to the base housing part 22, for example, by means of screws. The fully assembled detection device 18 can be mounted at the designated location on the vehicle 10 at a later time.
[0077] The zone control unit 16 can transmit data from sensors, for example the detection device 18, and peripheral devices and / or supply power to systems, for example the detection device 18, in the vehicle ten.
[0078] The zone control unit 16 comprises a housing not shown in detail in the figures. Electronic components, such as processors and the like, which are not shown in the figures, are arranged in the housing. The housing of the zone control unit 16 is composed of several housing parts. Each of the housing parts is made of an electrically conductive plastic compound. This electrically conductive plastic compound can be the same electrically conductive plastic compound used for the base housing part 22 of the housing 20 of the detection device 18 described above. The housing provides electromagnetic shielding for the electronic components of the zone control unit 16. Furthermore, heat generated during operation of the zone control unit 16, for example by the electronic components, is dissipated to the environment via the housing.
[0079] The zone control unit 16 is functionally connected to the central control unit 14 for control and data transmission, for example, via electrical cables and / or radio. In this way, data can be exchanged between the zone control unit 16 and the central control unit 14. Control signals can also be exchanged between the zone control unit 16 and the central control unit 14.
[0080] The central control unit 14 controls the function of the driver assistance system 12 and processes data.
[0081] The central control unit 14 comprises a housing not shown in detail in the figures. Electronic components, such as processors and the like, which are not shown in the figures, are arranged within the housing. The housing of the central control unit 14 is composed of several housing parts. Each of the housing parts is made of an electrically conductive plastic compound. This electrically conductive plastic compound can be the same as that used for the base housing part 22 of the housing 20 of the detection device 18 described above. The housing provides electromagnetic shielding for the electronic components of the central control unit 14. Furthermore, heat generated during operation of the central control unit 14, for example by the electronic components, is dissipated to the environment via the housing.
[0082] In an embodiment of the detection device 18 not shown, the base housing part 24 is also made of an electrically conductive plastic compound, for example the same plastic compound as the base housing part 22. In this way, weight and costs can be saved compared to a base housing part 24 made of metal.
[0083] In another embodiment of the detection device 18 (not shown), the lens-mount housing part 26 is also made of an electrically conductive plastic compound, for example, the same plastic compound as the base housing part 22. Thus, the lens-mount housing part 26 is also electrically and thermally conductive. In this way, weight and costs can be saved compared to a lens-mount housing part 26 made of aluminum.
[0084] In other embodiments not shown, individual housing parts of the zone control unit 16 and / or individual housing parts of the central control unit 14 may be made of a different material. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
