Abstract
An integrated controller can be equipped with an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) of a vehicle. The integrated controller includes a printed circuit board, a housing of a heat dissipation fin structure positioned to surround the at least one printed circuit board, a thermal grease provided on a surface of the printed circuit board and on a surface of the housing, and a bolt fastening portion connecting the printed circuit board to the housing.
Claims18
An integrated controller equipped with an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) of a vehicle, the integrated controller comprising:
- at least one printed circuit board;
- a housing of a heat dissipation fin structure positioned to surround the at least one printed circuit board;
- a thermal grease provided on at least a part of a surface of the at least one printed circuit board and at least a part of a surface of the housing;
- and
- a bolt fastening portion connecting the at least one printed circuit board to the housing, wherein the thermal grease is applied on the bolt fastening portion connecting the housing and to the printed circuit board,
- wherein the integrated controller is configured to:
- measure a temperature of the integrated controller;
- calculate a value of a heat capacity that needs to be dissipated when it is determined that heat dissipation of the integrated controller is needed;
- and
- transmit the calculated value of the heat capacity to an air conditioner,
- wherein an air conditioning controller is configured to receive the value of the heat capacity calculated by the integrated controller and to calculate a final heat capacity value based on the received value of the heat capacity and an air conditioning control value received from a driver.

A vehicle comprising:
- an integrated controller comprising at least one printed circuit board, a housing of a heat dissipation fin structure positioned to surround the at least one printed circuit board, a thermal grease provided on at least a part of a surface of the at least one printed circuit board and at least a part of a surface of the housing, and a bolt fastening portion connecting the at least one printed circuit board to the housing;
- an air conditioner configured to introduce air into an inside of the vehicle and to adjust a flow of the air, wherein the air conditioner is configured to transmit the air to the integrated controller by branching an air conditioning duct that is a passage for transmitting air into the inside of the vehicle;
- and
- an air conditioning controller;
- wherein the integrated controller is configured to measure a temperature of the integrated controller, to calculate a value of a heat capacity that needs to be dissipated when it is determined that heat dissipation of the integrated controller is needed, and to transmit the calculated value of the heat capacity to the air conditioner;
- and
- wherein the air conditioning controller is configured to receive the value of the heat capacity calculated by the integrated controller and to calculate a final heat capacity value based on the received value of the heat capacity and an air conditioning control value received from a driver.
