[0002] New energy vehicles do not generate power by burning gasoline or diesel, so they have many characteristics such as environmental protection and low pollution. With the vigorous promotion and application of new energy power generation such as hydropower, wind power, solar power and nuclear power, 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 vehicles, new energy electric flying vehicles, new energy electric shipping vehicles, etc.

[0003] New energy vehicles are generally equipped with batteries, motor control devices, motors and power generation devices. The power tube in the motor control device receives the DC power output by the battery, and converts the DC power into AC power to output to the motor. The motor then outputs a rotational driving force to drive the power generation devices such as wheels and paddles, and then drive the vehicle to move.

[0004] As vehicles integrate drive assemblies, i.e., motors and motor control devices, the space occupied by the drive assembly or motor control device needs to be further optimized and reduced, thereby freeing up more space for passenger space, battery space, etc. When integrating the motor and motor controller, it is necessary to consider the wiring structure, 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 coordinate with the reasonable arrangement of numerous circuit components.

The first cover body 57 is provided with a second avoidance groove 571. The positions of the first avoidance groove 588 and the second avoidance groove 571 correspond to each other.

[0072] Vehicle Example:

[0073] The vehicle includes a drive assembly as described above, and the drive assembly may be integrated with a transmission or may not be integrated with a transmission. The vehicle may 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 vehicle, a new energy electric flying vehicle, a new energy electric shipping vehicle, etc.

[0074] As can be seen from the above, the three mounting slots provided by the connecting frame are used to install and position the capacitors, and cooperate with the connection of the electrode connecting pieces on both sides to realize the parallel connection of the three capacitors, thereby effectively increasing the capacitance, and utilizing the left and right side arrangements and the bottom side arrangements to realize the stacked arrangement of the capacitors, optimizing the layout structure to make the structural size more compact, which is conducive to further reducing the size of the device equipment. Furthermore, by loading the capacitor module in the shell cover, not only the modular arrangement of the capacitor module is realized, but also it is conducive to improving the shock resistance and stability of the device. Filling the shell cover with potting glue not only improves the stable connectivity of the capacitor module, but also uses the potting glue to improve insulation and thermal conductivity. Multiple hollow holes can be used for heat conduction, and can also cooperate with the penetration of the potting glue to improve the connection stability and efficient thermal conductivity. The positioning convex edge improves the stable support and limitation of the capacitor. The electrode connecting piece and the connecting frame are connected together using the injection molding process, which not only has a stable connection, but also facilitates the connection and assembly of the capacitor. From a cross-sectional view, the capacitors in the first and second mounting slots are arranged vertically, while the capacitors in the third mounting slot below are arranged horizontally. Combined with the arrangement of the avoidance slots, the capacitor module is arranged roughly in an "L" shape, effectively utilizing the horizontal space and reducing the vertical arrangement space.

[0075] Furthermore, the wiring cavity is enclosed by the wiring bottom wall and the wiring cavity wall, and the two electrode connectors extend through the wiring cavity wall, resulting in a relatively independent and sealed chamber. When the electrode terminal block is installed in the housing of the motor control device, the wiring cavity for electrical connection is isolated from the housing cavity, thereby preventing external interference with the circuit components within the housing during wiring, thereby improving the operational stability of the device. The injection molding process ensures the electrical connectivity of the electrode connectors while also providing high isolation for the integrated housing. A trigger is provided at the operating opening, which outputs an enable signal when the corresponding cover is closed, thereby detecting the correct closing of the cover and ensuring the stability of the device's operation. A filter circuit module is positioned on the electrode terminal block, located outside the wiring cavity. This filter circuit module filters the electrode connectors locally after they are connected to the positive and negative power sources, further improving device performance. The positioning post not only connects to the motor control device housing but also serves to position and install the filter circuit module. A magnetic ring is provided on the periphery to reduce electromagnetic interference. Not only can a magnetic ring be set on the outer periphery of the seat body, but a semi-ring groove can also be set at the bottom of the ring groove, and a current sensor can be set inside it to detect the current of the input electrode. The stacked arrangement of magnetic rings and current sensors can be used to optimize the spatial layout, making the structural layout of the electrode terminal block more compact.

[0076] Furthermore, by locating the cooling interface between the two longitudinal end walls, the interface's position does not interfere with the longitudinal height layout of the cooling bridge. The provision of mounting holes, positioning holes, and positioning posts facilitates the installation and stable connection of the cooling bridge to the motor control device housing. Because the cooling bridge needs to be adjacent to the power tube for heat conduction, the relative position of the cooling bridge and the power tube must be precisely maintained. This is achieved by securely connecting the cooling bridge with a connecting piece, and by welding the connecting pins and the power tube pins to the baseboard to achieve accurate relative fixation.

[0077] Furthermore, by connecting the holding portion with the connecting portion, multiple holding portions can apply approximately the same clamping force to the pressurized power tube, so the longitudinal dimension of the holding portion can be reduced while maintaining the required pressure. Furthermore, the external expander can conveniently position the groove body and the connecting portion, so that the holding portion is stretched outward, and then clamped to the corresponding position and then conveniently separated, thereby achieving simple installation, stability and efficiency. The free end of the connecting portion close to the holding portion can be easily stretched outward, further improving the convenience of installation. The abutting arc surface is used to abut against the surface of devices such as power tubes to avoid damage to the device packaging. The holding piece can be installed and positioned through the positioning hole to maintain a stable connection.

[0078] In addition, the first cover is covered on one side of the substrate and filled with potting glue for sealing, fixing and heat conduction, and then the second cover is covered on the free end of the device assembly to keep the free end fixed. The sheet-shaped electrode connecting piece is fixed by clearance fit through the first limiting groove, and a stable connection is achieved with the clamping part. The power device module is fixed by the second limiting groove, and the abutment block is matched with the holding piece to make the holding piece maintain a relatively good clamping force, thereby improving the connection stability at the free end. The control board is set on the second cover, and the staggered design is used to make the control interface seat outside the projection of the second cover, so that the wiring of the control interface seat is not blocked by the second cover, thereby optimizing the wiring layout of the control circuit.

[0079] Furthermore, a housing base is positioned at the axial rear end of the motor, with radial slots provided. The motor control device is located radially on the motor side. The housing bottom wall is provided with wiring holes. The connector body passes through the slots and wiring holes, allowing the electrical connection assembly to connect between the three-phase electrode connection assembly and the stator electrical connection. This enables radial arrangement and radial wiring of the motor control device, reducing the radial dimensions of the drive assembly, effectively reducing occupied space, improving space utilization, and achieving a highly integrated drive assembly. A wiring hub connects the stator windings, allowing the motor terminals to be conveniently connected to the hub. Three single-phase connectors provide drive energy, while the signal connector enables real-time monitoring of the motor's operating status. A partition provides enhanced isolation to prevent signal interference. A snap-fit ​​secures the connector body in the slot, and the injection molding process ensures a tight fit between the connector body and the electrical connection assembly, enhancing the sealing of the connection structure. The arrangement of the magnetic rings reduces electromagnetic interference, while a Hall effect current sensor enables real-time monitoring of the output current.

[0080] Furthermore, by covering one side of the substrate with the first cover, and then covering the free end of the device assembly with the second cover, the free end is then held fixed, and the control board is set on the second cover, and the staggered design is used to make the control interface seat outside the projection of the second cover, so that the wiring of the control interface seat is not blocked by the second cover, thereby optimizing the wiring layout of the control circuit. By designing two avoidance grooves, the control interface seat is located outside the projection of the two covers, optimizing the wiring layout and facilitating wiring. By respectively placing the control terminal seat, the motor signal connection seat, and the circuit board on three adjacent side walls, and connecting them in sequence using a bridging connection method, the wiring layout is optimized and lengthy wiring is avoided.
