DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0064] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0065] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" another component, it may be directly on the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0066] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this disclosure have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terms used in this disclosure and in the specification are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this disclosure. The term "and / or" as used in this disclosure includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0067] The following describes some embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0068] When wiring existing controllers, the wiring harness must first be led out of the controller's port, then transferred to the target electrical wiring area via a connector, and finally the electrical connection is completed within the wiring area. This wiring method requires a long wiring harness and a large number of connectors, resulting in high wiring costs.

[0069] To solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a vehicle. The vehicle can be a car, truck, motorcycle, or other type of vehicle, and the present disclosure is not limited to this. Vehicle 2000 has a first functional area (not shown) and a second functional area (not shown). As shown in Figure 10, vehicle 2000 also includes a controller 1000, which is used to integrate electrical equipment in the first and second functional areas.

[0070] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, controller 1000 includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, and a circuit board assembly 3. First housing 1 has a first connector slot 12 extending through its thickness. Second housing 2 has a second connector slot 22 extending through its thickness. Second housing 2 and first housing 1 are interconnected and together enclose a mounting cavity 24. First connector slot 12 and second connector slot 22 communicate with mounting cavity 24.

[0071] The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 can be connected by magnetism, threaded connection, or by a buckle 14, which is not limited in this disclosure. To facilitate assembly and disassembly, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first shell 1 is provided with a buckle 14, and the second shell 2 is provided with a slot 23. When the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 need to be assembled, the buckle 14 of the first shell 1 is simply engaged with the slot 23 of the second shell 2 to complete the fixed installation of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. This is convenient and quick, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0072] The circuit board assembly 3 is disposed within the mounting cavity 24. The circuit board assembly 3 includes a circuit board 31, a first connector 32, and a second connector 33. The first connector 32 and the second connector 33 are disposed on opposite sides of the circuit board 31. At least a portion of the first connector 32 extends outside the first housing 1 through the first connector slot 12. At least a portion of the second connector 33 extends outside the second housing 2 through the second connector slot 22.

[0073] In the technical solution disclosed herein, the controller 1000 includes a first shell 1 and a second shell 2. The first shell 1 is arranged to correspond to the first functional area of ​​the vehicle, and the second shell 2 is arranged to correspond to the second functional area of ​​the vehicle. A first connector slot 12 is provided on the first shell 1, and a second connector slot 22 is provided on the second shell 2. A first connector 32 and a second connector 33 are provided on the circuit board 31, which are arranged opposite to the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. The first connector 32 extends from the first connector slot 12 to the outside of the first shell 1, and the second connector 33 extends from the second connector slot 22 to the outside of the second shell 2. When the controller 1000 is connected, the electrical equipment in the first functional area can be connected to the controller through the first connector 32. The electrical equipment in the second functional area can be connected to the controller 1000 through the second connector 33. In this way, the electrical equipment can be connected to the nearest wiring, the length of the wiring harness can be shortened, the use of connectors can be reduced, and the wiring cost can be reduced.

[0074] It is understandable that the first and second functional areas can be divided into various categories. For example, when divided based on vehicle equipment functions, the first and second functional areas can be divided into a door mechanism area, a seat mechanism area, a brake function area, an oil circuit function area, etc.

[0075] For another example, when the vehicle space is divided into areas, the first functional area and the second functional area can be divided into the cab area and the chassis area. In the cab area, the vehicle includes door equipment and dashboard equipment. Door equipment includes the vehicle's window lifting mechanism, door lock control mechanism, turn signal mechanism, and controller 1000 mechanism and other electrical devices. Dashboard equipment includes the vehicle's instrument distribution box, interior lights, seats, air conditioning box, wiper motor, accelerator brake pedal, EPB switch and other electrical devices. For the chassis area, the vehicle includes chassis equipment and front insurance equipment. Chassis equipment includes radar probes, three-way water valves, PT pressure sensors, electronic expansion valves, solenoid valves, throttle brake signal calibration pins and other electrical devices. Front insurance equipment includes combination lights, fog lights, washing motors and other electrical devices.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first functional area is the cab area, and the second functional area is the chassis area. Within the cab area, the first connector 32 is provided with a door harness port and an instrument panel harness port. The door harness port is used to electrically connect to the door equipment within the cab area, and the instrument panel harness port is used to electrically connect to the instrument panel equipment within the cab area. It is understood that in this embodiment, the door harness port and the instrument panel harness port can be located on the same first connector 32 or on different first connectors 32, and this disclosure does not limit this. Optionally, the first connector 32 may only be provided with a door harness port, without a instrument panel harness port; alternatively, the first connector 32 may only be provided with a instrument panel harness port, without a door harness port, and this disclosure also does not limit this.

[0077] In the chassis area, the second connector 33 is provided with a chassis wiring harness port and a front protection device port. The chassis wiring harness port is used to electrically connect to the chassis equipment, and the front protection device is used to electrically connect to the front protection device. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the chassis wiring harness port and the front protection device port can be located on the same first connector 32, or on different first connectors 32, and the present disclosure does not limit this. Optionally, the second connector 33 can only be provided with a chassis wiring harness port, and no front protection device port; optionally, the second connector 33 can also only be provided with a front protection device port, and no chassis wiring harness port, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0078] It is understood that in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first functional area is the chassis area, and the second functional area is the cab area. Accordingly, within the chassis area, the first connector 32 is provided with a chassis wiring harness port and a front safety device port, while within the cab area, the second connector 33 is provided with a door wiring harness port and an instrument panel wiring harness port. This disclosure is not limited to this.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 3, 4, and 5. The controller 1000 also includes a power input terminal, which is used to provide a stable power supply to the controller 1000 and the entire vehicle. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first through hole 21 is provided on the second shell 2, a second through hole 311 is provided on the circuit board 31, and a third through hole 11 is provided on the first shell 1; the power input terminal includes a power input member 4 and a power terminal (not shown). The power input member 4 passes through the first through hole 21, the second through hole 311, and the third through hole 11 in sequence to be arranged in the first shell 1 and the second shell 2; the first end of the power input member 4 extends out of the surface of the second shell 2 facing away from the first shell 1 and is connected to the power terminal. The power terminal is connected to a power source and provides a stable 12V power supply to the entire controller 1000 and the electrical equipment connected to the controller 1000 through the power input member 4.

[0080] The power input member 4 can be a conductive rod or a conductive bolt, which is not limited in this disclosure. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the power input member 4 is a conductive bolt, and the power terminal can be directly connected to the power input member 4 via threads, eliminating the need for other fasteners, reducing the difficulty of component assembly, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0081] To minimize the impact of the power terminals on the circuit board 31, as shown in Figure 5 , in one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the power input element 4 is secured to the first housing 1 or the second housing 2, or to both. This ensures that when the power terminals or other components are installed into the power input element 4, the assembly torque of the components is fully borne by the first housing 1 or the second housing 2 and the power input element 4, preventing the torque from being transferred to the circuit board 31 and thereby protecting the circuit board 31.

[0082] There are various ways to secure the power input member 4 to the first shell 1 or the second shell 2. The first input member can be secured to the first shell 1 or the second shell 2 by adhesive or by heat-seal, and this disclosure does not limit this. To enhance the stability of the connection between the power input member 4 and the first shell 1 or the second shell 2, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the power input member 4 is integrally molded into the first through-hole 21 of the second shell 2 via injection molding. This ensures a secure connection between the power input member 4 and the second shell 2 while simplifying the installation of the power input member 4 during assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 and 6. The controller 1000 also includes a power distribution output component 5, which is connected to the power input component 4 and can output the current input from the power input component 4 to the outside to achieve external power distribution. The power distribution output component 5 and the power input component 4 can be arranged on the same side or on different sides, and the present disclosure does not limit this. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the power distribution output component 5 is arranged on the side of the first shell facing away from the second shell, and the second end of the power input component 4 extends out of the surface of the first shell 1 facing away from the second shell 2 and is electrically connected to the power distribution output component 5. In this way, the power input and output of the controller 1000 can be arranged on both sides of the controller 1000, which can avoid excessive congestion of wiring on one side of the controller 1000, optimize the wiring structure of the controller 1000, reduce the wiring difficulty of the controller 1000, and reduce wiring costs.

[0084] The power input 4 and the power distribution output 5 can be arranged in parallel or perpendicularly, and this disclosure does not limit this. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the power input 4 and the power distribution output 5 are arranged parallel to each other along the thickness direction of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. This can reduce the plane space occupied by the power input 4 and the power distribution output 5 on the controller 1000, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire controller 1000 in the vehicle and facilitating the installation of the controller 1000.

[0085] The power distribution output member 5 can be a conductive rod or a conductive bolt, which is not limited in this disclosure. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the power distribution output member 5 is a conductive bolt. This allows other components of the controller 1000 to be directly screwed to the power distribution output member 5 without the need for other fasteners, thereby reducing the difficulty of component assembly and improving assembly efficiency.

[0086] Referring to Figure 6 , a fuse 6 is provided between the power input 4 and the power distribution output 5 . The power input 4 and the power distribution output 5 are electrically connected via the fuse 6 . The provision of the fuse 6 allows the circuit between the power input 4 and the power distribution output 5 to be disconnected if a fault or anomaly occurs in the circuit between the power input 4 and the power distribution output 5 , resulting in an abnormal increase in current. This protects the controller 1000 and other electrical appliances, allowing the controller 1000 to provide power to other appliances while ensuring vehicle safety and preventing excessive current from burning out the circuit or even causing a fire.

[0087] The safety component 6 can be a fuse or other safety device, which is not limited in the present disclosure. Please refer to Figure 7. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the safety component 6 includes a main body 61, a first connecting part 62, and a second connecting part 63. The first connecting part 62 and the second connecting part 63 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the main body 61, and the first connecting part 62 is provided with a first connecting hole 621, and the second connecting part 63 is provided with a second connecting hole 631. The power input component 4 is passed through the first connecting hole 621, and the power distribution output component 5 is passed through the second connecting hole 631. The current can be transmitted from the power input component 4 to the first connecting part 62, transmitted to the main body 61 via the first connecting part 62, transmitted to the second connecting part 63 via the main body 61, and finally transmitted to the power distribution output component 5 via the second connecting part 63. In this way, while ensuring that the current is transmitted from the power input component 4 to the distribution output component 5, the fuse component 6 can also be kept vertically arranged with the power input component 4 and the distribution output component 5. This can reduce the space occupied by the power input component 4, the distribution output component 5, and the fuse component 6 in the first shell 1, facilitate the arrangement of other structural components on the first shell 1, and thus reasonably utilize the space of the first shell 1.

[0088] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 6, and 8, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller 1000 further includes a power interface 7, which is connected between the power distribution output 5 and the circuit board 31. After current flows into the power distribution output 5, a portion of the current is transmitted through the power distribution output 5 to other electrical devices in the vehicle, while the remaining portion of the current flows through the power interface 7 to the circuit board 31 to power the circuit board 31.

[0089] The power interface 7 can take a variety of forms. It can be a copper busbar or a tuning fork copper sheet, which is not limited in this disclosure. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the power interface 7 includes a first connector 71 and a second connector 72 that are interconnected. The first connector 71 is used to connect to the power distribution output 5, and the second connector 72 is used to transfer current from the first connector 71 to the circuit board 31.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 9. The first connecting member 71 includes a main body plate 711 and a connecting plate 712. The main body plate 711 is provided with a distribution hole 714. The distribution hole 714 is sleeved on the distribution output member 5 and fixedly connected to the distribution output member 5. In this way, the first connecting member 71 can be electrically connected to the distribution output member 5. There are many ways to fix the main body plate 711 to the distribution output member 5. The main body plate 711 can be electrically connected to the distribution output member 5 through a threaded structure, or it can be directly welded to the distribution output member 5. This is not limited in the present disclosure. One end of the connecting plate 712 is connected to the main body plate 711, and the other end of the connecting plate 712 extends into the through groove 13 of the first shell 1 in a direction away from the main body plate 711 to connect to the second connecting member 72.

[0091] One end of the second connector 72 is connected to the connecting plate 712, and the other end of the second connector 72 is connected to the circuit board 31, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the power distribution output component 5 and the circuit board 31. It is understood that the second connector 72 can be connected to the circuit board 31 in a variety of ways. The second connector 72 can be bonded to the circuit board 31 using conductive adhesive or electrically connected to the circuit board 31 by welding, and this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0092] It is understandable that when the power interface component 7 is connected to the power distribution output component 5 via a threaded structure, the torque of the threaded structure will be transmitted downward through the first connecting member 71 and ultimately reach the circuit board 31 through the second connecting member 72, thereby damaging the circuit board 31. To address the above problem, in this embodiment, a slot 713 is further provided on the side of the connecting plate 712 facing away from the main plate 711. The second connecting member 72 extends into the slot 713 to connect with the first connecting member 71. The second connecting member 72 and the connecting plate 712 are fitted together through the slot clearance. In this way, the transmission of force from the first connecting member 71 to the second connecting member 72 can be reduced, thereby reducing the thread torque reaching the circuit board 31 and reducing the possibility of damage to the circuit board 31.
