Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The motor controller for the new energy electric vehicle is generally composed of a filter, a supporting capacitor, a power module, a control board, a driving circuit, a current sensor, an alternating current busbar, a controller shell and a cover plate, wherein the filter, the supporting capacitor, the power module, the control board and the current sensor are independently assembled in the controller shell. With the continuous development of the electric drive technology of the new energy vehicle, the electric drive is increasingly developing towards high torque density and high power density. In the use process of the high-power new energy vehicle motor controller, the supporting capacitor is converted into heat energy in the charging and discharging process, which affects the electrical performance and mechanical performance of the capacitor. The power module generates a large amount of heat under long-time operation and frequent opening and closing, which increases the failure probability and affects the motor output performance and the reliability of the vehicle drive system. Therefore, the heat dissipation of the supporting capacitor and the power module, as two core components, is particularly critical. Most motor controllers use water cooling to cool the motor controller. Cooling plates are arranged in the control shell to water-cool and dissipate heat of the power module and the capacitor. The installation space of the electrical elements in the existing motor controller shell is insufficient. The arrangement of the cooling plates further compresses the space in the shell, which affects the overall heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the layout of the power module, the control board and the power module in the motor controller is more cramped, which increases the near-field coupling and electromagnetic interference between the various devices in the motor controller and affects the normal operation of the motor controller. The motor is installed below the shell of the controller. The heat generated by the motor also affects the controller. This puts higher requirements on the heat dissipation of the controller shell. The poor heat dissipation performance of the existing controller shell also affects the normal operation of the controller. UTILITARIAN CONTENT
