Definitions

  • the present invention regards a mechanical container specifically prearranged for housing automotive electronic cards, such as locators, alarm modules, and a wide variety of devices for control of the logistics of the means of transport, based upon radio technology (e.g., GPS, Galileo, GSM) to be used on commercial vehicles, industrial vehicles, and vehicles for the transport of people.
  • radio technology e.g., GPS, Galileo, GSM
  • the mechanical containers currently provided for housing automotive electronic cards are usually made up of two half-shells, one of which houses the electronic card, and the other has fixing slots.
  • Another disadvantage of the traditional technique lies in the difficulty of finding on the market container modules in which the same electronic device is protected against possible and undesirable splashes of water and/or infiltration of dust and water vapour.
  • a further disadvantage of the traditional technique lies in the fact that currently, available containers require for their assembly screws, washers, rivets, spacers and other mechanical items, which entail the use of specific tools, and penalize the times for manufacture in the factory. Moreover, also the subsequent installation on the vehicle can be rendered problematical by these items.
  • the basic purpose of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages presented by the current traditional technique of production of automotive containers for automotive electronic devices, proposing an- alternative mechanical architecture, which likewise offers the possibility of producing and installing a plurality and variety of electronic devices, merely changing just one component of the container, the fascia, adapting it each time according to the specific needs, and keeping the other two components, namely the shell and the cradle, unaltered.
  • Figure 1 is a three-dimensional schematic view of the mechanical container 1 for automotive electronic devices 9 according to the . invention, basically constituted by a pair of elements, namely an -impermeable shell 2 and a fascia 3, with the shell 2 rigidly constraining the closing fascia 3, through a pair of snap-action coupling elements set on the fascia (not visible in Figure 1) and some pins set on the internal surface of the shell 2, which are not visible in Figure 1 either;
  • Figure 2 is a three-dimensional schematic view of just the fascia 3 of said container 1 illustrated in Figure 1, said container being blocked between the walls 6 by means of the snap-action hooking elements 4;
  • Figure 3 is a three-dimensional schematic view of a cradle 6 for housing the container 1;
  • Figure 4 is the same .
  • Figure 5 is a schematic front view of the cradle 6 illustrated in Figure A, together with an automotive device 9, housed within it, complete with shell 2 and fascia 3, constituting the container 1, where just one hole 10 may be noted, made in the cradle 6 itself, for the passage, inside the cradle 6, of another clamp 7;
  • Figure 6 is a three-dimensional schematic view of just the cradle 6, where the position of another pair of holes 8 may be noted more clearly, once again made in the cradle 6 itself, for the passage, outside the cradle 6, of said clamp 7, provided with a unique distinctive mark 11; likewise visible are the holes 12 that possibly enable fixing of the cradle 6 on a plane surface via screws;
  • Figure 7 is a three-dimensional schematic view of the container 1 engaged to the cradle 6 via the clamp 7, provided with said unique distinctive mark 11;
  • Figure' 8 is a three-dimensional schematic view of the clamp 7, for example of the "HORNSEAL” or “CASHBAGSEAL” type, provided with the unique distinctive mark 11, combined, by means of an appropriate code, to the identifier of the electronic device 9 to be protected; 1
  • Figure 9 is a three-dimensional schematic view of the container 1, constrained to the cradle 6, the latter in turn being engaged to the structure of the frame 13 of the motor vehicle, for example with further clamps 7 or epox glue or screws, in order to enable global removal of the electronic device 9, without any damage to the shell 2;
  • Figure 10 is a perspective view from the inside of the fascia 3 that highlights its system of fixing on the shell 2, constituted by snap-action coupling elements 14;
  • Figure 11 is a, three-dimensional schematic view of the electronic device 9 in an example of embodiment.
  • the mechanical container 1 is basically constituted by a protective shell 2 and a fascia 3, which fasten to one another in order to form said container 1 for automotive devices 9 for motor vehicles.
  • the container 1 is in turn rigidly constrainable in an anti- effraction way to a cradle 6, which also acts as further protection for the electronic device 9.
  • the shell 2 of ' the container 1 is obtained so as to be impermeable, as likewise said fascia 3 may be obtained, up to a maximum degree of protection equal to IP 65.
  • Said degree of protection is established according to CEI- 70-1 Standard (Italian Standard corresponding to EN 60529) and regards the degree of protection of the casing for electrical equipment with a nominal voltage not higher than 72.5 kV.
  • the first figure indicates the degree of protection against contact with external solid bodies and against access to dangerous parts (in the case in point, the figure 6 is equivalent to a container totally protected against dust)
  • the second figure indicates the degree of protection against the penetration of liquids (in this case, the figure 5 is equivalent to a container protected against jets of water) .
  • the shell 2 rigidly constrains the closing fascia 3, through at least one pair of snap- action coupling elements 14 set on the internal face of the fascia 3 itself, as well as possible pins set on the internal surface of the shell 2.
  • Said means of constraint form an anti-effraction closing of the electronic device 9 within the container 1, in so far as, for its unauthorized removal it is necessary to break the fascia 3 (shown alone in Figures 2 and 10) given that correct removal of said means requires the use ' of a specifically devised tool.
  • the elements constituting the ensemble of the container 1 are basically three, given that it is formed by said shell 2, which may be constrained to the fascia 3 and by the further protective supporting means or cradle 6 of said container 1.
  • the container 1 is characterized in that it can be quickly dismantled, i.e., easily removed from the cradle 6, thus enabling fast maintenance or even replacement of the electronic device or electronic module 9 without the need to dismantle the plastic cradle 6 and without the aid of particular mechanical tools, thus enabling recovery of the electronic device 9 without any damage, which can typically be caused by the customary processes of removal.
  • the mechanics is moreover designed to enable certification of installation, as well as its integrity over time, by means of the addition of appropriate "quality seals" to clamps provided with distinctive marks that enable the electronic device to be wrapped so as to certify both the possible disconnection of the mechanical ensemble (container 1 with electronic device 9) from the vehicle and the possible release of the device from its cradle 6.
  • the presence of the seal represented by the clamp 7 guarantees both that the installation has been carried out correctly by qualified technicians and, in the case of its absence or failure, that the installation has been tampered with subsequently, thus enabling expiration of the service provided on the apparatus.
  • the cradle 6 has been represented in Figures 3 and 4 in two similar versions, of which only the first, represented in Figure 3, enables affixing of a seal either transversely, inserting the clamp 7 through the holes 10 and in an axial way with respect to the cradle 6 itself, or longitudinally, inserting the clamp. 7 through the holes 8 and in an axial way with respect to the cradle 6 itself.
  • fascia 3 (represented in Figures 2 and 10) is the element of the container 1 that is the simplest to modify geometrically, its various conformation makes it possible, with simple and economically advantageous solutions of industrial production, to house conveniently devices or electronic cards 9 of the same width, but different length, as well as to obtain mechanical containers . 1 with the desired degree of protection.
  • the cradle 6 enables secure housing of the container 1 in such a way that, at the end of use, it is possible to recover the electronic device 9 intact from the vehicle.
  • the latter solution is very useful when the device ,9 is on loan for use to the customer so that return of the product to the factory is envisaged at the end of the period of service, thus avoiding the need to fix the latter on the motor vehicle using epoxy glues, which render removal of the device 9 itself highly complicated so much so that it necessarily entails damage to the shell of the container, with consequent costly and undesirable maintenance interventions.
  • the cradle 6 has likewise been devised to enable it to be easily ' constrained to the frame 13 of the motor vehicle using, for example, epoxy glues, cable- grip clamps, which may also be of a certifying type, screws, magnets, and other means of constraint. In this way, the work of the installer is facilitated and certainly he will not cause any undesirable damage to the device 9 since he will not act directly thereon.
  • said elements 2, 3 and 6 are mechanically designed in such a way as to provide a mechanical container 1 that presents the following multiple advantages:
