Abstract
An integrated electronic control unit that is installed to a vehicle, and that aggregates and is connected by control function to plural electronic control units installed to the vehicle. The integrated electronic control unit is mounted to a partition wall positioned between a cabin and a drive section of the vehicle so as to face another integrated electronic control unit across the partition wall, and such that at least a part of the integrated electronic control unit overlaps with the other integrated electronic control unit when looking in a vehicle forward direction.
Claims8
An integrated electronic control unit, wherein:
- the integrated electronic control unit is installed at a vehicle, aggregates and is connected by control function to a plurality of electronic control units installed at the vehicle, and is mounted to a partition wall positioned between a cabin and a drive section of the vehicle so as to face another integrated electronic control unit across the partition wall, and such that at least a part of the integrated electronic control unit overlaps with the other integrated electronic control unit when viewed in a vehicle forward direction.
An integrated electronic control unit mounting structure comprising:
- a partition wall that is positioned between a cabin and a drive section of a vehicle;
- a first integrated electronic control unit that is mounted to the drive section side of the partition wall, and that aggregates and is connected to a plurality of first electronic control units installed at the vehicle and having a prescribed control function;
- and
- a second integrated electronic control unit that is mounted to a cabin side of the partition wall, and that aggregates and is connected to a plurality of second electronic control units installed at the vehicle and having another prescribed control function that is different from the prescribed control function,
- wherein the first integrated electronic control unit and the second integrated electronic control unit are respectively mounted to the partition wall such that at least part of the integrated electronic control units overlap when viewed in a vehicle forward direction.
A vehicle comprising:
- a partition wall that is positioned between a cabin and a drive section;
- a first integrated electronic control unit that is mounted to the drive section side of the partition wall, and that aggregates and is connected to a plurality of first electronic control units having a prescribed control function;
- and
- a second integrated electronic control unit that is mounted to a cabin side of the partition wall, and that aggregates and is connected to a plurality of second electronic control units having another prescribed control function that is different from the prescribed control function,
- wherein the first integrated electronic control unit and the second integrated electronic control unit are respectively mounted to the partition wall such that at least part of the integrated electronic control units overlap when viewed in a vehicle forward direction.
