Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motors, and in particular to a motor controller assembly for driving an automobile cooling fan. Background Art
[0002] The cooling fan motor of a car is a DC motor installed on the car. Its function is to drive the fan to dissipate heat from the engine. The current motor structure mainly includes a stator, an outer rotor, a heat sink, a PCBA board and a rear cover. The stator is fixed on the front of the heat sink. A central axis is set on the front of the heat sink. The outer rotor is rotatably mounted on the central axis and sleeved on the outside of the stator. The PCBA board is fixed to the back of the heat sink. The rear end cover is fixed to the back of the heat sink and covers the PCB. The heat sink is provided with a wiring harness assembly that is convenient for connecting to the car power supply. The wiring harness generally includes a positive wiring harness, a negative wiring harness, a speed control wiring harness, and an ignition wiring harness can also be added.
[0003] Patent No. 202111286404.8 discloses an outer rotor motor for driving an automobile cooling fan, including a controller assembly, the controller assembly including a shell consisting of a heat sink and a rear end cover, a conductive bracket and a PCBA board are arranged in the shell, a central axis is arranged on the front of the heat sink, an armature assembly is installed on the front of the heat sink, an outer rotor assembly is rotatably installed on the central axis, an inductor mounting area, a conductive bracket mounting area, a wiring harness connector area and a control board mounting area are provided on the heat sink, the conductive bracket is placed in the conductive bracket mounting area, an inductor is provided in the inductor mounting area, a wiring harness conductive pin is provided in the wiring harness connector area, the inductor and the wiring harness conductive pin are both welded and fixed to the corresponding conductive holes on the PCBA board, Three through holes are provided on the heat sink in the conductive bracket mounting area, and the conductive bracket includes three mounting hole portions. A semi-enclosed terminal protection portion is provided on the outer periphery of the mounting hole portion, and the terminal protection portion and the mounting hole portion are connected by a connecting rod. The back of the connecting rod is provided with positioning grooves with two ends extending toward the terminal protection portion and the mounting hole portion respectively. A conductive connecting rod is installed on each mounting hole portion, one end of the conductive connecting rod is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole portion and passes through the through hole, the middle part of the conductive connecting rod is embedded in the corresponding positioning groove, the tail end of the conductive connecting rod is a connecting terminal and is in the corresponding terminal protection portion, the connecting terminal is inserted into the corresponding conductive hole on the PCBA board and is welded and fixed, and the conductive connecting rod electrically connects the armature assembly with the PCBA board.However, the connection between the PCBA board and the armature assembly (stator assembly) of this patent is not very reasonable, and has the following disadvantages: 1. The PCBA board is connected to the stator winding through a conductive bracket, and the conductive bracket is placed in the conductive bracket placement area, and then three conductive connecting rods are used to penetrate the mounting hole part and the heat sink of the conductive connecting rod. Then one end of the conductive connecting rod is welded to the PCBA board, and the other end is welded to the intermediate phase ring. Since the conductive bracket itself is not fixed and is only restricted by the conductive connecting rod, the conductive bracket may become loose; 2. This fixing method has poor sealing performance. Since the conductive connecting rod needs to penetrate the mounting part and the heat sink of the conductive bracket, the heat sink is provided with a sealing sleeve with elastic deformation, which facilitates the passage of the conductive connecting rod and has a sealing effect. However, after the motor is used for a long time, the sealing sleeve will age and cause the seal to fail. Once the seal fails, a gap will be formed between the sealing sleeve and the conductive connecting rod, which is easy for water to enter, resulting in internal short circuit and damage to the PCB. A board; 3. The PCBA board in this controller assembly includes a PCB board, on which MOS devices, capacitors and some other components are arranged. This PCB board is fixed on the heat sink to transfer heat to the heat sink. However, since the MOS devices and capacitors on the PCB board generate a lot of heat, the temperature of the PCB board will be relatively high, and the temperature of the components around these components with high heat generation will also be relatively high. This will easily cause the surrounding low-heat generation components to always work in a harsh environment with a relatively high temperature, reducing reliability. Moreover, when the power of the motor increases, the motor is limited by the installation space and it is difficult to increase its size. In this way, the heat dissipation efficiency is not improved, which causes the temperature of the low-power components around the components with high heat generation to be too high and overheat protection to shut down, thereby affecting the normal operation of the car's cooling system. Therefore, the structure of this PCBA board limits the power of the motor and cannot be made too large. Summary of the Invention

The winding pin seat includes a winding seat body, the lower end of the winding seat body is provided with at least two insertion protrusions, and the lower PCB board is provided with an insertion positioning hole for facilitating the positioning of the insertion protrusions. The winding seat body is provided with a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, and the lower ends of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are both provided with a first avoidance groove and a second avoidance groove. The phase electric pins and the connecting pins are respectively embedded in the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, and the upper ends of the phase electric pins and the connecting pins are exposed.

[0014] As a preferred solution, the support structure includes several supporting protrusions, which support the upper PCB board, and the lower ends of the phase power pins and the connecting pins are bent and welded to the upper surface solder points of the lower PCB board.
[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the effect of the present invention is as follows: since the heat sink is also provided with a connection seat installation area, a conductive connection seat is fixed in the connection seat installation area, the bottom of the conductive connection seat is sealed with the heat sink, the conductive connection seat is provided with an enclosure, and the end surface of the enclosure is provided with a sealing ring installation groove, the heat sink is provided with three through holes in the enclosure, and the three through holes are embedded with a first conductive link, a second conductive link and a third conductive link for connecting to the three-phase winding of the stator assembly, and a hole sealing structure for sealing the through holes is installed in the enclosure, and the conductive connection seat is embedded with a first conductive sheet, a second conductive sheet and a third conductive sheet, one end of the first conductive sheet, the second conductive sheet and the third conductive sheet are all extended into the enclosure and are all provided with a hook, the hooks on the first conductive sheet, the second conductive sheet and the third conductive sheet are correspondingly sleeved on the first conductive link, the second conductive link and the third conductive link and welded fixed, and the other ends of the first conductive sheet, the second conductive sheet and the third conductive sheet are respectively welded to the three phase electrical pins of the PCBA board. Therefore, the front and back of the entire enclosure are sealed with a good sealing effect. The welding positions of the first conductive sheet, the second conductive sheet, the third conductive sheet, and the first conductive connecting rod, the second conductive connecting rod, and the third conductive connecting rod are located inside the enclosure, thereby better isolating the PCBA board from the outside and preventing water from entering the PCBA board and causing damage to components. In addition, the conductive connection seat is fixed on the heat sink and is not easy to shake, thereby preventing the welding points from loosening.
[0016] In addition, since the connecting seat installation area is provided with an installation groove, the enclosure corresponds to the installation groove, the through hole is located in the installation groove, and the hole sealing structure is provided in the installation groove, the installation groove is also used to provide protection to a certain extent, and even if water seeps in, it can be prevented from flowing into the outside of the installation groove and the enclosure.
[0017] Furthermore, since the hole sealing structure includes a sealing plate arranged in the mounting groove, the sealing plate is provided with three sealing nests which are embedded in the through hole in a one-to-one correspondence, the plate surface of the sealing plate is provided with a sealing ridge which is sealed with the bottom of the mounting groove, a sealing pressure plate is provided above the sealing plate, and a pressing portion for pressing the sealing pressure plate and the sealing plate is provided on the surrounding cavity, and a through hole is provided on the sealing pressure plate for facilitating the sealing nest to pass through, the first conductive connecting rod, the second conductive connecting rod and the third conductive connecting rod all pass through the sealing nest and are sealed with the sealing nest. First, the sealing nest can be embedded in the through hole, and the sealing nest can be used to achieve the sealing of the three conductive connecting rods, and can also seal the through hole. Secondly, the sealing ridge on the sealing plate is squeezed and sealed with the bottom of the mounting groove, so as to seal again, which can better protect the gap between the through hole and the sealing nest. Due to the thickness of the heat sink, the sealing contact part between the sealing nest and the through hole is not thick, and the sealing part between the sealing nest and the conductive connecting rod is the height of the entire sealing nest. In comparison, the gap between the sealing nest and the through hole is more prone to sealing failure. Therefore, the above structure can improve the sealing effect between the sealing nest and the through hole, and the sealing reliability is higher.
[0018] The heat dissipation device is installed in the heat dissipation device, and the heat dissipation device is installed in the heat dissipation device. The heat dissipation device is installed in the heat dissipation device, and the heat dissipation device is installed in the heat dissipation device. The heat dissipation device is installed in the heat dissipation device, and the heat dissipation device is installed in the heat dissipation device. One end of the inductor's wiring harness is welded, and the other end of the inductor's wiring harness is welded to one end of the negative connecting piece. The other end of the negative connecting piece is welded to the negative pin of the PCBA board assembly. One end of the positive conductive piece is welded to the positive wiring harness on the wiring harness fixing block. One end of the speed regulating conductive piece is welded to the speed regulating wiring harness on the wiring harness fixing block. The other ends of the positive conductive piece and the speed regulating conductive piece are welded to the positive pin and the speed regulating pin of the PCBA board. Therefore, the conductive bracket is not only convenient to be embedded in the installation notch and fixed, but the sealing groove section can also be connected with a whole circle of sealing groove of the heat sink, which is convenient for glue filling and sealing, thereby improving the sealing performance; the conductive bracket is provided with a negative conductive piece connected to the negative wiring harness and a positive conductive piece connected to the positive wiring harness. The inductor is connected between the negative conductive piece and the negative connecting piece. In this way, the large current is directly conducted through the wider negative conductive piece, avoiding heat accumulation on the PCBA board, making it suitable for use in high-current motors.
[0019] Furthermore, the conductive bracket includes the inductor mounting seat, the sealing insert, and the conductive sheet embedded connecting frame. Screw mounting portions are provided on the inductor mounting seat and the conductive sheet embedded connecting frame. The conductive sheet embedded connecting frame is disposed on the outside of the PCBA board. Support columns are provided below the conductive sheet embedded connecting frame, resting against the surface of the PCBA board. The positive conductive sheet, speed regulating conductive sheet, and negative connecting sheet are all embedded in the conductive sheet embedded connecting frame. The conductive bracket can be conveniently and removably secured to the heat sink via the screw mounting portions, while the conductive sheet embedded connecting frame is supported on the surface of the PCBA board via the support columns, thereby reducing deformation. This also facilitates the securement of the positive conductive sheet, speed regulating conductive sheet, and negative connecting sheet, preventing deformation of the conductive sheet embedded connecting frame that could cause contact with the PCBA board.
[0020] Furthermore, since the positive electrode conductive sheet, the speed regulating conductive sheet and the negative electrode connecting sheet are all connected by connecting ribs that are easily punched out, the connecting ribs are exposed outside the conductive sheet embedding connection frame. In this way, the positive electrode conductive sheet, the speed regulating conductive sheet and the negative electrode connecting sheet can be integrally formed and embedded in the conductive bracket during the molding process. The connecting ribs can then be punched out during use, thus ensuring that the positive electrode conductive sheet, the speed regulating conductive sheet and the negative electrode connecting sheet are accurately embedded in the position.
[0021] Since the PCBA board includes a lower PCB board and an upper PCB board, the lower PCB board is provided with fixing holes for convenient bolt fixing, the lower PCB board is provided with a component group with high heat generation, the upper PCB board is provided with a component group with low heat generation, the lower PCB board is fixed with a positive pin seat, a negative pin seat, a speed control pin seat and three winding pin seats, the lower PCB board is provided with a supporting structure for supporting the upper PCB board, and the positive pin seat is provided with a positive pin seat for connecting the positive wiring harness. The positive pin, the negative pin for connecting the negative wiring harness is provided on the negative pin seat, the speed regulating pin for connecting the speed regulating wiring harness is provided on the speed regulating pin seat, and the three winding pin seats are respectively provided with phase electrical pins welded to the lower PCB board for electrical connection to the three-phase windings of the motor stator. The positive pin, negative pin and speed regulating pin all pass through the upper PCB board and are welded to both the upper PCB board and the lower PCB board. The three winding pin seats are also provided with connecting pins for connecting the upper PCB board and the lower PCB board. Therefore, the PCBA assembly includes two layers of PCB boards, and the upper PCB board is supported by a support structure. There is a gap between the two PCB boards. This makes it convenient to place the component group with high heat generation on the lower PCB board. The heat generated by these component groups is directly transferred from the lower PCB board to the heat sink of the motor for dissipation. At the same time, the component group with low heat generation is placed on the upper PCB board. The temperature of the lower PCB board does not have much impact on the components on the upper PCB board. This avoids overheating and motor shutdown protection, thus meeting the requirements of higher power motors.
[0022] Since the three winding pin holders have the same structure, the winding pin holder includes a winding seat body, the lower end of the winding seat body is provided with at least two insertion protrusions, and the lower PCB board is provided with an insertion positioning hole for facilitating the positioning of the insertion protrusions. The winding seat body is provided with a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, and the lower ends of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are both provided with a first avoidance groove and a second avoidance groove. The phase power pins and the connecting pins are respectively embedded in the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, and the upper ends of the phase power pins and the connecting pins are exposed. The lower ends of the phase power pins and the connecting pins are respectively located in the first avoidance groove and the second avoidance groove and exposed, and the lower ends of the phase power pins and the connecting pins are welded and fixed to the lower PCB board. The winding base body of the winding pin base can be conveniently positioned with respect to the lower PCB board by inserting the protrusion, thereby ensuring more accurate welding between the lower ends of the phase electrical pins and the lower PCB board. In addition, the lower ends of the phase electrical pins on the first mounting portion are welded to the lower PCB board, and the connecting pins connect the lower PCB board and the upper PCB board for communication. The first avoidance groove and the second avoidance groove can facilitate the exposure of the lower ends of each pin, making it easier to observe the welding condition of the lower ends.
