Vehicle control device and vehicle brake system
A vehicle control device is an input device that includes a metallic base substance and an electronic control device mounted on the base substance. The electronic control device includes a housing mounted on a mounting face of the base substance and a control board housed in the housing. A heat dissipating part which is inserted into the housing is provided to protrude from the mounting face, and the heat dissipating part abuts on the control board.
1. A vehicle control device comprising:
a metallic base substance having a mounting face and a heat dissipating part formed homogeneously thereon;
an electronic control device mounted on the base substance, the electronic control device including a housing mounted on the base substance and enclosing the mounting face and a control board; and
an electric component which is mounted on the control board in a component mounting area,
wherein the heat dissipating part protrudes outwardly from the mounting face and abuts a reverse side of an entirety of the component mounting area on the control board,
wherein the heat dissipating part and the metallic base substance are provided as a unitary component,
wherein the housing includes a partition member formed to partition an inner space of the housing into spaces, including a first housing chamber surrounding the mounting face which is formed between the partition member and a peripheral wall portion of the housing, and a second housing chamber surrounding the heat dissipating part,
wherein the partition member forms a lower opening of the housing into which the heat dissipating part is inserted,
wherein the lower opening of the housing is sized to correspond to the heat dissipating part and the entirety of the component mounting area,
wherein a plurality of electric components composed of solenoid valves and pressure sensors are disposed in a region of an upper half of the mounting face and the heat dissipating art is disposed in a region of a lower half of the mounting face.
2. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipating part abuts on the control board through a heat conducting member.
3. The vehicle control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a cut-out portion which is formed on a face of the heat dissipating part on the side of the electric component and set back toward the side opposite to the side of the electric component.
4. A vehicle brake system comprising:
a vehicle control device including:
a metallic base substance having a mounting face and a heat dissipating part formed homogeneously thereon;
an electronic control device mounted on the base substance, the electronic control device including
a housing mounted on the base substance and enclosing the mounting face and a control board;
an electric component which is mounted on the control board in a component mounting area,
wherein the housing includes a partition member formed to partition an inner space of the housing into spaces, including a first housing chamber surrounding the mounting face which is formed between the partition member and a peripheral wall portion of the housing, and a second housing chamber surrounding the heat dissipating part,
wherein the partition member forms a lower opening of the housing into which the heat dissipating part is inserted,
wherein the lower opening of the housing is sized to correspond to the heat dissipating part and the entirety of the component mounting area,
wherein the heat dissipating part protrudes outwardly from the mounting face and abuts a reverse side of an entirety of the component mounting area on the control board,
wherein the heat dissipating part and the metallic base substance are provided as a unitary component,
wherein a plurality of electric components composed of solenoid valves and pressure sensors are disposed in a region of an upper half of the mounting face and the heat dissipating part is disposed in a region of a lower half of the mounting face; and
a slave cylinder that generates a brake hydraulic pressure through driving of an electric actuator,
the vehicle control device further including:
the base substance having a cylindrical bore;
a piston which is inserted into the cylindrical bore and to which a brake operation unit is connected; and
the electronic control device that controls the electric actuator.
