Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle components, and in particular to a permanent magnet traction inverter. Background Technology

[0002] Permanent magnet traction inverters, typically installed at the bottom of vehicles, primarily function to convert electrical energy between DC and AC systems. With the continuous development of vehicle technology, permanent magnet traction inverters, as a key component of vehicles, are also constantly being improved and developed. To achieve high efficiency, lightweight design, and ease of maintenance in permanent magnet traction inverter traction systems, their design must meet requirements such as convenient maintenance and modular design.

[0003] Existing permanent magnet traction inverter technology typically employs a 4×1C1M axis control mode, which involves modifying the existing asynchronous permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure to change from a 1C4M vehicle control mode to a 4×1C1M axis control mode. However, the significant increase in components leads to difficulties in internal component placement, unreasonable wiring paths, and challenges in meeting electromagnetic compatibility requirements, posing problems for assembly and maintenance.

[0004] Existing permanent magnet traction inverter technology also employs a single power module, with all power devices arranged on a heatsink. However, due to the large size of each module, the module design lacks versatility and is not conducive to modular circuit implementation. Furthermore, the placement and heat dissipation of the driver board also present problems. Moreover, all inverter units affect each other; a fault in one insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) can affect other inverter units, making it impossible to truly isolate the faulty unit.

These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0046] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims. The various embodiments in this application may be implemented individually or in combination without conflict.

[0047] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this application adopts a modular circuit design concept. The permanent magnet traction inverter housing has two power modules and integrates a high-speed disconnect module, a pre-charge module, a discharge module, an overvoltage suppression module, a filter module, a motor isolation module, a voltage detection module, and a current detection module. This not only simplifies the internal layout of the permanent magnet traction inverter and avoids the defects of difficult internal layout, difficulty in meeting electromagnetic compatibility requirements, or excessively large individual modules, but also realizes functions such as fault isolation, modular replacement, and rapid heat dissipation, thereby improving the versatility of the permanent magnet traction inverter.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a permanent magnet traction inverter structure provided in Embodiment 1 of this application. Referring to Figure 1, this embodiment provides a permanent magnet traction inverter that enables modular installation. Specifically, the system includes:

[0049] The housing, and the power module 5 and traction control assembly 13 disposed within the housing;

[0050] The housing contains a power installation chamber and a control installation chamber that are isolated from each other. The power module 5 is installed in the power installation chamber, and the traction control component 13 is installed in the control installation chamber.

[0051] The power module 5 is connected to the traction control component 13, and each power module is connected to two drive motors. The power module 5 is used to control the operation of the drive motors under the control of the traction control component 13.

[0052] For example, in a practical scenario: the permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure is located at the bottom of the vehicle and can be connected to the vehicle via a suspension beam. The status of the permanent magnet traction inverter can also be displayed in real time on the vehicle's dashboard. The permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure is divided into installation chambers of varying sizes by partitions for installing the permanent magnet traction inverter components. These installation chambers can be arranged adjacently or non-adjacently. Optionally, the isolation methods described in this application may include, but are not limited to, sealed isolation and non-sealed isolation. The power module 5 is installed in the power installation chamber, and the traction control component 13 is installed in the control installation chamber. The power module 5 is connected to the traction control module 13, and each power module is connected to two traction motors. The power module 5 controls the operation of the drive motors under the control of the traction control component 13. Optionally, the connection methods described in this application may include, but are not limited to, electrical connection, wired communication connection, etc.

[0053] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design, integrating various components of the permanent magnet traction inverter. This simplifies the internal layout of the permanent magnet traction inverter, avoids the defects of difficult internal layout, difficulty in meeting electromagnetic compatibility requirements, and excessively large individual modules, and improves the versatility of the permanent magnet traction inverter.

[0054] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, as one possible implementation, based on any other implementation, the permanent magnet traction inverter further includes: a fan 8 and an aluminum profile heat sink disposed in the housing;

[0055] The enclosure contains a fan installation chamber and a central ventilation chamber. The fan 8 is installed in the fan chamber, and the aluminum profile radiator is installed in the power installation chamber.

[0056] The aluminum profile heat sink is connected to the power module 5, and the aluminum profile heat sink and the fan are used to dissipate heat from the power module.

[0057] The power installation room, the fan installation room, and the central ventilation room are interconnected to form a ventilation channel.

[0058] For example, in a practical scenario: The permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure houses a fan 8 and an aluminum profile heat sink. The module base plate of the power module 5 serves as the mounting surface for the aluminum profile heat sink, integrated with it. The aluminum profile heat sink and power module are connected to the enclosure via mounting brackets on the bottom plate and installed together in the power mounting chamber. The fan 8 is installed in the fan mounting chamber and connected to both the fan control contactor and the fan circuit breaker. The power mounting chamber, fan mounting chamber, and central ventilation chamber within the permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure are interconnected without partitions, forming a ventilation channel to improve heat dissipation efficiency. In practical applications, the reactor 15 can also be installed in the central ventilation chamber.

[0059] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design, integrating various components of the permanent magnet traction inverter, simplifying the internal layout of the permanent magnet traction inverter. At the same time, it adopts two heat dissipation modes, namely heat sink heat dissipation and forced air cooling, which improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the permanent magnet traction inverter.

[0060] Optional, such as Figure 2 As shown, as one possible implementation, based on any other implementation, one side wall of the power installation chamber is a side panel of the enclosure, and the side panel is provided with an air inlet;

[0061] The bottom surface of the central ventilation chamber is the bottom plate of the box body, and the bottom plate is provided with an air outlet;

[0062] Both the air inlet and the air outlet are equipped with mesh-shaped ventilation filter covers.

[0063] For example, in a practical context: one side wall of the power installation chamber of the permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure is a side panel with an air inlet. The bottom surface of the central ventilation chamber is the bottom plate of the enclosure, and the bottom plate has an air outlet. This application does not limit the size of the air inlet and outlet, which can be adjusted according to the specific dimensions of the enclosure. The air inlet and outlet are equipped with mesh-like ventilation filter covers, which can be made of metal and are welded to the side panel and bottom plate of the enclosure to prevent foreign objects from entering the permanent magnet traction inverter.

[0064] In practical applications, the base plates of the central ventilation chamber and the fan installation chamber are detachable parts of the base plate of the enclosure. When installing the fan 8 and the reactor 15, the base plates of the central ventilation chamber and the fan installation chamber can be removed separately. After installation, the base plates of the central ventilation chamber and the installation chamber are spliced ​​back onto the base plate of the enclosure. When the fan or the reactor fails, the base plates of the central ventilation chamber and the installation chamber can be removed for repair or replacement.

[0065] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this embodiment integrates the various components of the permanent magnet traction inverter, simplifying the internal layout of the permanent magnet traction inverter. It adopts a channel and ventilation filter design to improve heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, it is equipped with a removable base plate to improve maintenance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.

[0066] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, as one possible implementation, based on any other implementation, the permanent magnet traction inverter further includes: a line contactor disposed within the housing;

[0067] The enclosure contains a line contactor installation chamber that is isolated from other installation chambers, and the line contactor is installed in the line contactor installation chamber.

[0068] Each set of line contactors is connected to a power module and is used to control the corresponding power module to stop operating in the event of a fault.

[0069] The line contactor mounting chamber is also equipped with a discharge resistor and a diode assembly 14.

[0070] In terms of actual distance: The permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure is also equipped with a line contactor installation chamber. The line contactor is installed in the line contactor installation chamber and connected to the power module 5. When the power module 5 fails, the line contactor immediately disconnects the power module 5, causing the power module 5 to stop operating.

[0071] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design, integrating various components of the permanent magnet traction inverter, simplifying the internal layout of the permanent magnet traction inverter, and realizing the function of individually cutting off the power module in case of failure, thereby enhancing the fault operation capability.

[0072] Optional, such as Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, as one possible implementation, based on any other implementation, the permanent magnet traction inverter further includes: a high-voltage output component, a low-voltage input / output component, and a high-voltage input component disposed on the outer wall of the housing;

[0073] The outer side panel of the enclosure is provided with a high-voltage output area, a low-voltage input / output area, and a high-voltage input area.

[0074] The high-voltage input component is installed in the high-voltage output area and connected to the high-voltage installation chamber for connecting to an external power source;

[0075] The low-voltage input / output assembly is installed in the low-voltage input / output area and connected to the control installation room for transmitting low-voltage control signals;

[0076] The high-voltage output component is installed in the high-voltage output area and connected to the power installation chamber for outputting the invertered AC power from the power module; the high-voltage output component includes a current sensor and an isolation contactor 7.

[0077] In practical applications, the high-voltage input area and the low-voltage input / output area are located on the same side of the enclosure and are connected to the high-voltage installation chamber and the control installation chamber, respectively. The high-voltage output area is located on the other side of the enclosure and is connected to the power installation chamber. The high-voltage output component may include a current sensor and an isolation contactor 7.

[0078] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design, integrating the high and low voltage input and output terminals of the permanent magnet traction inverter. This simplifies the layout of the input and output areas of the permanent magnet traction inverter, improves maintenance efficiency, and enhances the stability of the input and output of the permanent magnet traction inverter.

[0079] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, as one possible implementation, based on any other implementation, the permanent magnet traction inverter further includes: an overvoltage suppression resistor 6 disposed in the housing;

[0080] The overvoltage suppression resistor 6 is installed in the power installation chamber and is connected to the power module 5 to provide overvoltage protection for the power module 5.

[0081] To illustrate with a practical example: the overvoltage suppression resistor 6 is located inside the enclosure and installed together with the power module 5 in the power mounting chamber. Specifically, each power module 5 is connected to one overvoltage suppression resistor 6, ensuring that each power module 5 receives individual overvoltage protection. In actual applications, the overvoltage suppression resistor 6 and the power module 5 are installed in the upper part of the power mounting chamber. After installation, a horizontal partition is used to isolate the overvoltage suppression resistor 6, the power module 5, and the ventilation duct at the bottom of the power mounting chamber. Sealant is applied to the joint of the partition to ensure that the power module 5 and the overvoltage suppression resistor 6 are sealed.

[0082] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design, integrating all components to simplify its internal layout. It also implements overvoltage protection and sealed isolation for the power module, improving its operational stability.

[0083] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, as one possible implementation, based on any other implementation, the enclosure is provided with mutually isolated pre-charging installation chamber, low-voltage control installation chamber, circuit breaker installation chamber and high-voltage installation chamber;

[0085] For example, the permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure also includes a pre-charge installation chamber, a low-voltage control installation chamber, a circuit breaker installation chamber, and a high-voltage installation chamber. These chambers are isolated from each other and can be arranged adjacently or non-adjacently. Optionally, the isolation methods described in this application can include, but are not limited to, sealed isolation and non-sealed isolation. Specifically, the pre-charge installation chamber houses a pre-charge contactor assembly 12, which is connected to the power module 5; the low-voltage control installation chamber contains a gate drive power supply 9, a high-speed circuit breaker control assembly 10, and a control power circuit breaker 11, used for low-voltage side control of the permanent magnet traction inverter; the circuit breaker installation chamber houses a fan control contactor, a fan circuit breaker, and a high-speed circuit breaker 4; and the high-voltage installation chamber houses a garage power socket 1, a grounding current sensor assembly 2, a three-position switch, a fuse assembly 3, and a fuse assemblies. The high-voltage installation chamber is connected to the high-voltage input area for connecting to an external power source.

[0086] In practical applications, the permanent magnet traction inverter assembly is installed from the side panel of the permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure into the corresponding installation chamber. After installation, the side panel is connected to the bottom and top plates of the enclosure to maintain a sealed enclosure. The side panel of the permanent magnet traction inverter enclosure can be divided into smaller side panels of the same size as the sides of each installation chamber, depending on their dimensions. These smaller side panels can be connected to each other or detached individually. When a permanent magnet traction inverter assembly in a certain installation chamber fails, the corresponding side panel can be opened to replace the faulty assembly.

[0087] The permanent magnet traction inverter provided in this embodiment adopts a modular design, with two power modules inside. It integrates all components of the permanent magnet traction inverter, which simplifies the internal layout of the permanent magnet traction inverter, realizes the modular replacement function of traction components, improves the versatility of the permanent magnet traction inverter, and reduces the maintenance cost of the permanent magnet traction inverter.

[0088] Optional, such as Figure 4 As shown, as one possible implementation, based on any other implementation, the permanent magnet traction inverter further includes: a suspension beam fixed to the top plate of the housing;

[0089] The lifting beam is connected to the box body by ring groove rivets, which are used to firmly connect the box body to the vehicle.

[0090] For example, in a practical scenario: the suspension beam is installed on the top plate of the permanent magnet traction inverter.

Specifically, lifting lugs are provided at both ends of the suspension beam, which are bolted to the beam to fix it to the bottom of the vehicle.

[0099] The partition is welded to the top plate and the bottom plate, and the weld joint is coated with sealant.
