[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a controller 100, which includes a housing and a printed circuit board 120 disposed within the housing. The housing is cylindrical, and an opening 111 is provided on the side wall of the housing. The opening 111 extends axially from the middle of the side wall to one end face. The surface of the printed circuit board 120 is disposed facing the opening 111. A connector 130 is provided on the printed circuit board 120, and the connector 130 is exposed in the opening 111. The connector 130 is used for electrical connection with the wire plug of the device.

[0033] The controller 100 has a hollow, closed-end cylinder housing. Openings 111 are provided on the side walls of the housing, each comprising four edges connected end-to-end. Two opposing edges, distributed along the axial direction of the housing, are located at the middle and one end face of the housing, respectively, while the other two edges are parallel to the housing's axis. The openings 111 divide the housing's side walls into interconnected cylindrical and arc-shaped side walls. The cylindrical side walls have a circular cross-section, while the arc-shaped side walls have a superior arc, semicircle, or minor arc cross-section. Preferably, the arc-shaped side walls have a superior arc cross-section to provide sufficient space for the installation of internal components. The cylindrical housing is smaller than a square housing of the same size, saving installation space. It can be installed in small spaces such as the battery and motor of an electric vehicle. Furthermore, the cylindrical housing is compatible with the shape of the electric vehicle's tube and can be installed inside the tube.

[0034] A printed circuit board 120 is fixed inside the housing. The surface of the printed circuit board 120 is parallel to the axis of the housing and faces the opening 111 of the housing. A connector 130 is provided on the surface of the printed circuit board 120 exposed by the opening 111. The connector 130 can be a socket in the prior art, used to make electrical connection with the wire plugs of other devices outside the controller 100, so as to reduce the number of wires connected to the controller 100 and make the controller 100 easier to disassemble and assemble.

[0035] As described above, the controller 100 includes a housing and a printed circuit board 120 disposed within the housing. The housing is cylindrical, and an opening 111 is provided on the side wall of the housing, extending axially from the middle of the side wall to one end face. The surface of the printed circuit board 120 faces the opening 111, and a connector 130 is provided on the printed circuit board 120, protruding from the opening 111. The connector 130 is used for electrical connection with the wire plug of a device. By making the housing cylindrical, the controller 100 reduces its size, allowing it to be installed in a smaller space. Simultaneously, the controller 100's electrical connection to external devices via the connector 130 reduces the number of wires on the controller 100, making it easier to disassemble and reassemble, and reducing the cost and time of replacement and maintenance.

[0036] To facilitate the installation of internal components, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, the housing includes a housing body 112, and a first end cap 115 and a second end cap 116 respectively disposed at a first end and a second end cap 116 of the housing body 112. The first end cap 115 is disposed near the opening 111, and the second end cap 116 is disposed away from the opening 111. The edge of the first end cap 115 coincides with the outline of the first end of the housing body 112, and the edge of the second end cap 116 coincides with the outline of the second end of the housing body 112.

[0037] The shell includes a shell body 112 (i.e., the sidewall of the shell) and a first end cap 115 and a second end cap 116 that respectively close the first and second ends of the shell body 112. An opening 111 is located on the shell body 112 and is disposed near the first end of the shell body 112. The size and shape of the first end cap 115 are the same as the size and shape of the first end of the shell body 112, so that the edge of the first end cap 115 coincides with the outline of the first end of the shell body 112; the shape and size of the second end cap 116 are the same as the shape and size of the second end of the shell body 112, so that the edge of the second end cap 116 coincides with the outline of the second end of the shell body 112.

[0038] It should be understood that the outline shape of the first end of the shell body 112 can be a major arc, a semicircle or a minor arc, and correspondingly, the edge shape of the first end cap 115 should be an incomplete circle; the outline shape of the second end of the shell body 112 is circular, and correspondingly, the edge shape of the second end cap 116 is also circular.

[0039] The connection between the first end cap 115 and the second end cap 116 and the shell body 112 can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection. Preferably, in order to facilitate the installation of components inside the shell body 112, the first end cap 115 and the second end cap 116 are detachably connected to the shell body 112, such as screw connection, pin connection, etc.

[0040] Please refer to the reference. Figure 2 Optionally, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, the housing further includes a first insulating sheet 113 and a second insulating sheet 114. The first insulating sheet 113 is located between the first end cap 115 and the housing body 112, and the second insulating sheet 114 is located between the second end cap 116 and the housing body 112. The edge of the first insulating sheet 113 coincides with the edge of the first end cap 115, and the edge of the second insulating sheet 114 coincides with the edge of the second end cap 116.

[0041] A first insulating sheet 113, with the same shape and size as the first end cap 115 and overlapping with the shell body 112, is provided between the first end cap 115 and the shell body 112. A second insulating sheet 114, with the same shape and size as the second end cap 116 and overlapping with the shell body 112, is provided between the second end cap 116 and the shell body 112. The first insulating sheet 113 and the second insulating sheet 114 not only have the function of insulation, but also play the role of shock absorption and sealing. The material of the first insulating sheet 113 and the second insulating sheet 114 can be silicone.

[0042] Optionally, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the first insulating sheet 113 facing the first end cap 115 is provided with a boss 1131, the boss 1131 is provided with a first through hole 1132 parallel to the surface of the first end cap 115, and the first end cap 115 is provided with a second through hole 1151 that cooperates with the boss 1131.

[0043] A connector 130 is provided on one side of the printed circuit board 120, and a receiving space is formed between the other side and the housing body 112. This space can be used to accommodate power lines and motor three-phase wires, etc. Since these wires need to be led out to connect to external devices, a boss 1131 with a first through hole 1132 is provided on the surface of the first insulating sheet 113 away from the housing body 112. The power lines and motor three-phase wires inside the housing body 112 extend out of the housing through the first through hole 1132. Correspondingly, the first end cap 115 is provided with a second through hole 1151 that allows the boss 1131 to pass through and mate with the outer wall of the boss 1131, so that the surface of the first end cap 115 can fit against the surface of the first insulating sheet 113. At the same time, the boss 1131 and the second through hole 1151 also facilitate the positioning between the first insulating sheet 113 and the first end cap 115.

[0044] For example, the surface of the boss 1131 where the first through hole 1132 is provided is waist-shaped. There are two first through holes 1132, spaced apart along the length of the boss 1131. The two first through holes 1132 are respectively used to pass through the power supply line and the motor three-phase wire. Of course, when there are more than two types of wires inside the housing, the number of first through holes 1132 can also be more than two to allow for the passage of more types of wires.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Optionally, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, a heat sink 150 fixed inside the housing and an insulating pad 160 located between the heat sink 150 and the printed circuit board 120 are further included. The printed circuit board 120 and the insulating pad 160 are fixed on the heat sink 150, and the orthographic projections of the heat sink 150 and the insulating pad 160 on the printed circuit board 120 are separate from the orthographic projections of the connector 130 on the printed circuit board 120.

[0046] The housing also includes a heat sink 150 and an insulating pad 160. A connector 130 is located on the front of the upper surface of the printed circuit board 120, and the rear of the lower surface is fixedly connected to the heat sink 150 via the insulating pad 160. The length of the heat sink 150 along the axial direction of the housing body 112 is less than the length of the printed circuit board 120 along the axial direction of the housing, so as to leave space below the part of the printed circuit board 120 where the connector 130 is located, for accommodating power cords and motor three-phase wires.

[0047] In this embodiment, the heat sink 150 can be made of aluminum. The heat sink 150 can be fixed to the housing by a screw 140 with a larger diameter. For example, the second end cover 116 of the housing is provided with a round hole, and the surface of the heat sink 150 facing the second end cover 116 is provided with a threaded hole 154 corresponding to the round hole. The screw 140 with a larger diameter passes through the round hole on the second end cover 116 and is threaded to the threaded hole 154 of the heat sink 150 to fix the heat sink 150 to the housing.

[0048] For example, the printed circuit board 120 and the insulating pad 160 are also fixed to the heat sink 150 by screws 140. It is sufficient to pre-set corresponding round holes or threaded holes 154 on the printed circuit board 120, the insulating pad 160, and the heat sink 150. As for the number of round holes or threaded holes 154 and the diameter of the screws 140 used, those skilled in the art should be able to make reasonable selections and designs according to actual needs.

[0049] Please refer to the reference. Figure 3 and Figure 5 Optionally, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, the heat sink 150 is provided with a wire hole 151, the extension direction of the wire hole 151 is perpendicular to the surface of the printed circuit board 120 and is correspondingly arranged with the power interface on the printed circuit board 120.

[0050] The heat sink 150 is provided with wire holes 151, which are used for power cords, motor three-phase wires, and other wires to pass through the wire holes 151, penetrate the insulating pad 160, and then make electrical connections to the power interfaces on the printed circuit board 120. Multiple wire holes 151 may be provided, and their number and distribution can be set according to the number and distribution of power interfaces on the printed circuit board 120.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 Optionally, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, a capacitor 170 protruding from the surface of the printed circuit board 120 is provided on the printed circuit board 120, and a first receiving groove 152 for accommodating and accommodating the capacitor 170 is provided on the heat sink 150.

[0052] The first receiving groove 152 not only prevents interference between the heat sink 150 and the capacitor 170, thus avoiding obstruction of the installation of the capacitor 170, but also provides support for the capacitor 170. It should be understood that the length of the insulating pad 160 along the axial direction of the housing is less than the length of the heat sink 150 along the axial direction of the housing. The portion of the heat sink 150 where the first receiving groove 152 is located does not have the insulating pad 160, so as to avoid the insulating pad 160 interfering with the installation of the capacitor 170.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 Optionally, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the shell body 112 is provided with a first rib 181, a second rib 182, a third rib 183, a fourth rib 184, and a fifth rib 185 that are parallel to each other.

The upper surfaces of the second rib 182 and the third rib 183, and the lower surfaces of the fourth rib 184 and the fifth rib 185 are respectively located in the same plane. A first groove 187 is formed between the second rib 182 and the fourth rib 184, and a second groove 188 is formed between the third rib 183 and the fifth rib 185. The heat sink 150, the insulating pad 160, and the printed circuit board 120 are all mounted in the first groove 187 and the second groove 188. A third groove 153 is provided at the bottom of the heat sink 150, and the third groove 153 cooperates with the first rib 181.

[0054] The bottom center of the inner wall of the shell body 112 is provided with a first rib 181 extending from the front end to the rear end of the shell body 112. The middle part of the inner wall of the shell body 112 is provided with a second rib 182, a third rib 183, a fourth rib 184 and a fifth rib 185 extending from the front end to the rear end. The upper surface of the second rib 182, the lower surface of the fourth rib 184 and the inner wall of the shell body 112 together form a first groove 187. The upper surface of the third rib 183, the lower surface of the fifth rib 185 and the inner wall of the shell body 112 together form a second groove 188. The first groove 187 and the second groove 188 are at the same height inside the shell body 112 and are used to accommodate and position the heat sink 150, the insulating pad 160 and the printed circuit board 120 on both sides inside the shell. The upper surfaces of the second rib 182 and the third rib 183 are used to cooperate and support the edge part of the lower surface of the heat sink 150. The bottom of the heat sink 150, away from the printed circuit board 120, is provided with a third groove 153 that cooperates with the first rib 181. The first rib 181 restricts the rotation of the heat sink 150 within the housing through the third groove 153. At the same time, the heat sink 150 is also fixedly connected to the second end cover 116 of the housing, thereby fixing the heat sink 150.

[0055] Optionally, in one possible embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the shell body 112 is further provided with a sixth rib 186 disposed opposite to the first rib 181. The first rib 181, the second rib 182, the third rib 183 and the sixth rib 186 are respectively provided with a second receiving groove 189. The extension direction of the second receiving groove 189 is parallel to the axial direction of the shell body 112. The cross-section of the second receiving groove 189 perpendicular to the axial direction of the shell is arc-shaped. The two ends of the second receiving groove 189 extend to the two ends of the shell body 112 respectively. The first end cap 115 and the second end cap 116 are connected to the shell body 112 by screws 140. The second receiving groove 189 is used to accommodate the tail of the screw 140.

[0056] A sixth rib 186 extending from the front end to the rear end of the shell body 112 is provided at the top center of the inner wall of the shell body 112. Second receiving grooves 189 are respectively provided on the first rib 181, second rib 182, third rib 183, and sixth rib 186. The two ends of the second receiving groove 189 extend to the opposite first and second end faces of the shell body 112, respectively. The cross-section of the second receiving groove 189 is arc-shaped, preferably a superior arc. When the first end cap 115 and the second end cap 116 are connected to the shell body 112 by screws 140, the front and rear ends of the second receiving groove 189 can be respectively engaged with the screws 140.
