Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hybrid motors, and in particular to a three-phase copper busbar structure of a hybrid motor. Background Art
[0002] As a key electrical component in the powertrain of new energy vehicles, the motor's three-phase copper busbar connects the stator's three-phase wires to external high-voltage lines, transmitting output current and voltage while preventing electromagnetic interference. During motor operation, the transmission of motor power directly impacts the overall vehicle's power. This requires that the connection between the motor and the three-phase copper busbar meet requirements such as mechanical reliability, temperature rise stability, and airtightness.
[0003] At present, the traditional three-phase copper busbar of the motor is a split part. Due to the vibration of the motor, it is easy to cause the parts of the three-phase copper busbar to become loose, generate noise, and affect the normal operation of the three-phase copper busbar. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the corresponding deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a hybrid motor three-phase copper busbar structure that is more stable and safe and does not require special assembly with the motor.
[0005] The objective of the present invention is achieved by adopting the following scheme: a three-phase copper busbar structure of a hybrid electric motor, comprising: a copper busbar assembly, wherein the copper busbar assembly is composed of three soft copper buses welded and arranged respectively with three hard copper buses, a connecting hole is provided at the extended end of the soft copper busbar, a blocking block is provided on the extended end of the hard copper busbar, a threaded insert is riveted at the front end of the extended end of the hard copper busbar, an inwardly recessed blind hole is provided on the threaded insert, an insulating shell is injection-molded on the part of the copper busbar assembly welded between the blocking blocks, a copper busbar groove is provided on the insulating shell, the soft copper busbar and the hard copper busbar are welded and fixed at the notch of the copper busbar groove, an assembly groove for installing the hard copper busbar is provided on the insulating shell, an assembly hole is provided on the assembly groove, the threaded insert on the hard copper busbar is embedded in the assembly hole, the gap between the assembly groove and the hard copper busbar is filled with epoxy resin, a plurality of nesting holes are provided on the insulating shell, and nesting is provided in the nesting holes.
[0006] Furthermore, the soft copper busbar and the hard copper busbar are fixed by silver-copper brazing. The soft copper busbar is formed by stamping multiple copper sheets. The connection holes on the soft copper busbar are circular holes, waist-shaped holes, U-shaped holes or square holes.
[0007] Furthermore, the soft copper busbar can be bent by 0-90° relative to the thickness direction of the copper busbar and by 0-5° relative to the width direction of the copper busbar.
[0008] Furthermore, the bending angle of the hard copper busbar is 0-180°.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring installation groove is provided on one end of the insulating shell assembly groove, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing ring installation groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the insulating shell is provided with a heat dissipation groove and an oil guide groove.
[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: comprising: a copper busbar assembly, which is composed of three soft copper buses welded and arranged with three hard copper buses respectively, a connecting hole is provided on the extended end of the soft copper busbar, a blocking block is provided on the extended end of the hard copper busbar, a threaded insert is riveted on the front end of the extended end of the hard copper busbar, an inwardly recessed blind hole is provided on the threaded insert, an insulating shell is injection molded on the part of the copper busbar assembly welded between the blocking blocks, an assembly groove for installing the hard copper busbar is provided on the insulating shell, an assembly hole is provided on the assembly groove, the threaded insert on the hard copper busbar is embedded in the assembly hole, the gap between the assembly groove and the hard copper busbar is filled with epoxy resin, a plurality of nesting holes are provided on the insulating shell, and nesting is provided in the nesting holes. The entire copper busbar assembly is injection molded into the insulating shell through a mold, so that the entire copper busbar assembly and the insulating shell form a complete whole, which improves reliability and solves the NVH problem of the split three-phase copper busbar. The setting of the blocking block and the potting epoxy resin forms a double sealing effect, sealing the entire three-phase copper busbar structure to prevent the internal cooling oil temperature generated during the long-term operation of the motor and the continuous transmission of large current from causing the three-phase copper busbar to be in a thermal equilibrium state. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of metal and plastic, gaps will be generated between the metal and plastic, resulting in airtightness or oil leakage.
[0012] The soft copper busbar and the hard copper busbar are fixed by silver-copper brazing. The soft copper busbar is stamped from multiple copper sheets. The connection holes on the soft copper busbar are circular holes, waist-shaped holes, U-shaped holes or square holes. Silver-copper brazing can reduce the vibration and impact of the copper busbar assembly caused by the motor during operation. The different shapes of the connection holes can meet the connection needs of different types of power transmission wires and copper busbar assemblies.
[0013] The soft copper busbar can be bent 0-90° relative to the thickness and 0-5° relative to the width. The rigid copper busbar can be bent at angles of 0-180°. Different bending angles allow for assembly at different heights and angles.
[0014] A sealing ring installation groove is provided on one end of the insulating shell assembly groove, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing ring installation groove. The sealing ring further seals the insulating shell, thereby improving the air tightness of the insulating shell.
[0015] The insulating shell is provided with a heat dissipation groove and an oil guide groove. The heat dissipation groove can quickly reduce the temperature of the copper busbar assembly, and the oil guide groove is used for the flow of oil in the motor box.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The busbar structure of the present invention is compact and easy to assemble. It adopts a new design, new process and new structure to meet the protection and insulation protection of the motor copper busbar assembly. It has a low cost and is conducive to the batch and automated production of motors. It can also meet the high temperature generated and continuous transmission of large current during the long-term operation of the motor, and can withstand high and low temperature impacts for a long time. The different thermal deformation coefficients of metal and plastic will not affect the air tightness of the assembly or oil leakage, thereby ensuring product reliability.
