Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy equipment, and particularly to a capacitor module, a motor control device, a drive assembly, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles have many characteristics such as environmental protection and low pollution because they do not burn gasoline or diesel to generate power. With the popularization and application of new energy power generation such as water energy, wind energy, solar energy, and nuclear energy, many new energy vehicles are gradually being promoted and applied, such as new energy electric cars, new energy electric buses, new energy electric trucks, new energy electric cleaning vehicles, new energy electric rail transit vehicles, new energy electric flight vehicles, new energy electric shipping vehicles, etc.

[0003] New energy vehicles are generally equipped with a battery, a motor control device, a motor, and a power generation device. The power tubes in the motor control device receive the direct current output by the battery, and invert the direct current into alternating current for output to the motor. Then the motor outputs rotational driving force to drive the power generation device such as wheels, propellers, etc., and then drives the vehicle to move forward.

[0004] With the integration of the drive assembly, that is, the motor and the motor control device, for vehicles, it is necessary to further optimize and reduce the occupied space of the drive assembly or the motor control device, so as to free up more space for use in the passenger space, battery space, etc. When integrating the motor and the motor controller, it is necessary to consider the wiring structure, wire routing layout, and structural layout between the motor and the motor controller, control the thickness of the motor control device and the radial dimension of the drive assembly, and also cooperate with the reasonable arrangement of many circuit components. In addition, it is necessary to improve the seismic performance of the components to improve the operation stability of the equipment, so as to fully realize the high-efficiency integration of the drive assembly.

[0008] The fourth object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle having the above drive assembly.

[0009] To achieve the first object of the present invention, the present invention provides a capacitor module, which includes a housing cover and a capacitor module. The capacitor module is disposed within the housing cover. The capacitor module includes a plurality of capacitors, two electrode connection pieces, and a connection frame. The connection frame is provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove on both sides in the first transverse direction, and a third mounting groove is provided on the longitudinal side of the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove. Capacitors are respectively disposed in the first mounting groove, the second mounting groove, and the third mounting groove.

The electrode connection piece is provided with a fourth connection end on the longitudinal side opposite to the third mounting groove.

[0010] As can be seen from the above solution, the three mounting grooves provided by the connection frame are used for the installation and positioning of the capacitors, and cooperate with the connection of the electrode connection pieces on both sides, thereby realizing the parallel connection of the three capacitors, effectively increasing the capacitance, and realizing the stacked arrangement of the capacitors by arranging them on the left and right sides and the bottom side, optimizing the layout structure to make the structural dimensions more compact, which is beneficial to further reducing the size of the device. Moreover, by loading the capacitor module into the housing cover, not only the modular arrangement of the capacitor module is realized, but also the seismic resistance and stability of the device are improved.

[0011] A further solution is that the housing cover is filled with potting glue, and the potting glue wraps the capacitor module.

[0012] As can be seen from the above, by filling the housing cover with potting glue, not only the stable connection of the capacitor module is improved, but also the insulation and heat conduction are improved by using the potting glue.

[0013] A further solution is that the connection frame is provided with a plurality of hollow holes.

[0014] As can be seen from the above, the plurality of hollow holes can be used for heat conduction and can also cooperate with the penetration of the potting glue, thereby improving the connection stability and high-efficiency heat conduction.

[0015] A further solution is that the connection frame is respectively provided with positioning convex edges in the first mounting groove, the second mounting groove, and the third mounting groove, and the positioning convex edges are in limit cooperation with the capacitors.

[0016] As can be seen from the above, stable support and limitation for the capacitors are provided by the positioning convex edges.

[0017] A further solution is that the electrode connection piece and the connection frame are connected by injection molding.

[0018] As can be seen from the above, the electrode connection piece and the connection frame are connected together by using the injection molding process, which is not only stably connected but also convenient for the connection and assembly of the capacitors.

[0019] Further, the installation direction of the first installation groove is parallel to the installation direction of the second installation groove; the installation direction of the first installation groove is perpendicular to the installation direction of the third installation groove.

[0020] Further, an avoidance groove is provided on the outer wall of the housing cover, near the positions of the second installation groove and the third installation groove.

[0021] As can be seen from the cross-section, the capacitors of the first installation groove and the second installation groove are arranged longitudinally, while the capacitor of the third installation groove located below is arranged transversely. And through the cooperation of the arrangement of the avoidance groove, the capacitor module is arranged in a roughly "L" shape, effectively utilizing the horizontal space and reducing the longitudinal arrangement space.

[0075] Vehicle embodiment:

[0076] The vehicle includes a drive assembly as described in the above solution. At the same time, the drive assembly can be integrated with a transmission or not integrated with a transmission. The vehicle can be a new energy electric car, a new energy electric bus, a new energy electric truck, a new energy electric cleaning vehicle, a new energy electric rail transit vehicle, a new energy electric flying vehicle, a new energy electric shipping vehicle, etc.

[0077] As can be seen from the above, the three mounting grooves provided by the connection frame are used for the mounting and positioning of capacitors, and cooperate with the connection of the electrode connection pieces on both sides, thereby realizing the parallel connection of the three capacitors, effectively increasing the capacitance, and realizing the stacked arrangement of capacitors by arranging them on the left and right sides and the bottom side, optimizing the layout structure to make the structure size more compact, which is conducive to further reducing the size of the device. Moreover, by loading the capacitor module into the housing, not only the modular arrangement of the capacitor module is realized, but also the seismic resistance and stability of the device are improved. By filling the housing with potting glue, not only the stable connection of the capacitor module is improved, but also the insulation and heat dissipation are enhanced by the potting glue. The multiple hollow holes can be used for heat conduction and also cooperate with the penetration of the potting glue, thereby improving the connection stability and efficient heat conduction. The positioning convex edge provides stable support and limit for the capacitor. The electrode connection piece and the connection frame are connected together by injection molding, which is not only stably connected but also convenient for the connection and assembly of the capacitor. From the cross-section, the capacitors in the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are arranged longitudinally, while the capacitor in the third mounting groove below is arranged transversely. By cooperating with the arrangement of the avoidance groove, the capacitor module is arranged in a roughly "L" shape, effectively utilizing the horizontal space and reducing the longitudinal arrangement space.

[0078] In addition, a wiring cavity is formed by the wiring bottom wall and the wiring cavity wall, and the two electrode connection pieces pass through the wiring cavity wall, so that the wiring cavity has a relatively independent and sealed chamber. When the electrode wiring seat is installed in the housing of the motor control device, the wiring chamber for electrical connection is isolated from the chamber of the housing, thus avoiding external environment interference to the circuit devices in the housing during wiring, and improving the operation stability of the device. By using injection molding process, while ensuring the electrical connectivity of the electrode connection piece, the integrated seat body has a high isolation degree. By providing a trigger at the operation opening, after the corresponding cover is closed, the trigger can output a corresponding enabling signal to detect the correct closing of the cover, thus ensuring the operation stability of the device. The filter circuit module is arranged on the electrode wiring seat and outside the wiring cavity. Through the filter circuit module, the electrode connection piece can be filtered locally and nearby after connecting to the positive and negative power supplies, thereby further improving the performance of the device. The positioning posts can not only be used to connect with the housing of the motor control device, but also be used for the positioning and installation of the filter circuit module. By arranging magnetic rings on the outer periphery, electromagnetic interference is reduced. Magnetic rings can not only be arranged on the outer periphery of the seat body, but also a semi-circular groove can be provided at the bottom of the ring groove, and a current sensor can be arranged therein to detect the current of the input electrode. By using the stacked arrangement of the magnetic ring and the current sensor to optimize the space arrangement, the structural layout of the electrode wiring seat is more compact.

[0079] Furthermore, by arranging the cooling interface between two longitudinal end walls, the position of the cooling interface does not interfere with the longitudinal height arrangement of the cooling bridge. The installation holes, positioning holes and positioning columns facilitate the installation and stable connection of the cooling bridge on the housing of the motor control device. Since the cooling bridge needs to be adjacent to the power tube for heat conduction, the relative positions of the cooling bridge and the power tube need to be accurately maintained. The connecting piece is fixedly connected to the cooling bridge, and the connecting pins and the pins of the power tube are soldered to the substrate, thus achieving accurate relative fixation of the positions.

[0080] Moreover, by connecting the pressing part through the connecting part, multiple pressing parts can apply approximately the same clamping force to the pressed power tube. Therefore, even if the longitudinal dimension of the pressing part is reduced, the required pressure can still be maintained. The external expander can conveniently position the slot body and the connecting part, so that the pressing part is expanded outwards. Then, after being clamped to the corresponding position, it can be conveniently separated, thus achieving simple installation and stable and efficient operation. The connecting part near the free end of the pressing part is convenient for outward expansion, further improving the installation convenience. The abutting arc surface is used to abut against the surfaces of devices such as power tubes to avoid damage to the device packages. The pressing part can be installed and positioned through the positioning hole to maintain stable connection.

[0081] In addition, the first cover is covered on one side of the substrate, and potting glue is filled for sealing, fixing and heat conduction. Then, the second cover is covered on the free end of the device assembly to hold and fix the free end. The first limiting groove is used for clearance fit and limiting fixation of the sheet-shaped electrode connecting piece, and stable connection is achieved by cooperating with the clamping part. The second limiting groove is used for limiting and fixing the power device module, and the abutting block is used for adjacent cooperation with the pressing part to make the pressing part maintain a relatively good clamping force, thus improving the connection stability at the free end. The control board is arranged on the second cover, and with the dislocation design, the control interface seat is located outside the projection of the second cover. Therefore, the wiring of the control interface seat is not blocked by the second cover, thereby optimizing the wiring layout of the control circuit.

[0082] Furthermore, by providing a housing base at the rear axial end of the motor and arranging slots radially, with the motor control device located on the radial side of the motor, and a wiring hole provided in the bottom wall of the housing, a connecting seat body is passed through the slots and the wiring hole, enabling the electrical connection assembly to be connected between the three-phase electrode connection assembly and the stator electrical connection. Subsequently, the radial arrangement and radial wiring of the motor control device are achieved, thereby reducing the radial size of the drive assembly, effectively shrinking the occupied space, improving the space utilization rate, and realizing the high integration of the drive assembly. The wire collecting seat is used to connect the windings of the stator, and then the motor connection end can be conveniently connected to the wire collecting seat. The three single-phase connecting pieces are used to provide driving energy, and the signal connecting piece can monitor the operating state of the motor in real time, and the isolation degree can be improved through the partition to avoid signal interference. The buckle stably mounts the connecting seat body in the slots, and the tight fit between the connecting seat body and the electrical connection assembly is improved through the injection molding process, thereby enhancing the tightness of the connection structure. Electromagnetic interference is reduced through the arrangement of magnetic rings, and the Hall current sensor can monitor the output current in real time.

[0083] Moreover, by covering the first cover on one side of the substrate, and then covering the second cover on the free end of the device assembly, the free end is then held and fixed. The control board is arranged on the second cover, and with the misalignment design, the control interface seat is located outside the projection of the second cover. Therefore, the wiring of the control interface seat is not blocked by the second cover, thus optimizing the wiring layout of the control circuit. Through the design of two avoidance slots, the control interface seat is located outside the projections of both covers, optimizing the wiring layout and facilitating wiring. By arranging the control wiring seat, the motor signal connection seat, and the circuit board on three adjacent side walls close to each other respectively, and connecting them in sequence using the bridging connection method, the wiring arrangement is optimized to avoid long and redundant wiring.
