[0002] In the field of electric vehicle technology, the drive motor controller usually adopts direct liquid cooling for heat dissipation. The existing technology generally adopts a method of setting multiple pin fins on the heat sink at the bottom of the power module to increase the heat exchange contact area and thereby enhance the heat dissipation effect. Specifically, when the drive motor controller is working, the coolant enters from the water inlet of the drive motor controller flow channel, flows through the pin fins on the heat sink of the power module, and takes away the heat by convection heat exchange.
[0003] However, in actual applications, in order to prevent the flow channel from being blocked by foreign matter, it is usually not possible to add too many pin fins. In other words, the number of pin fins is limited. Then the heat exchange area increased by this method is also limited, that is, the heat exchange efficiency is also limited, and the heat dissipation effect needs to be broken through and improved. Therefore, how to break through the existing technical barriers to improving the heat exchange method, so as to further improve the heat exchange efficiency and heat dissipation effect, has become a problem that needs to be solved in this field.

The power module cooling device 100 and the drive control device 1000 can be specifically applied to electric vehicles. The drive control device 1000 can specifically include the power module cooling device 100 and a power module 200.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a power module cooling device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a heat sink 10, which can be a copper plate, an aluminum plate or other metal plate suitable for heat dissipation. The heat sink 10 has a heat dissipation surface 11, and a heat dissipation pin fin 111 is provided on the heat dissipation surface 11. The heat dissipation pin fin 111 extends from the heat dissipation surface 11 in a direction away from the heat dissipation surface 11. The heat dissipation pin fin 111 can be specifically arranged along the following lines: Figure 3 The second direction shown extends in the Y direction, and the shape of the heat sink pin fin 111 is not specifically limited.

Of course, in the actual implementation scheme, it can be transformed into any other shape of heat sink pin fin 111, such as elliptical heat sink pin fin, diamond heat sink pin fin, etc.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the power module cooling device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a flow channel assembly 20, which may include a coolant flow channel 21 and a partition 22. The coolant flow channel 21 may be provided with a liquid inlet 211 and a liquid outlet 212 on opposite sides thereof, respectively. Specifically, the liquid inlet 211 and the liquid outlet 212 may be respectively provided along the coolant flow channel 21 as shown in FIG. Figure 3The partition 22 is disposed in the coolant flow channel 21 on opposite sides of the first direction X shown in FIG. 1 , so as to divide the coolant flow channel 21 into a first sub-flow channel 213 and a second sub-flow channel 214.

One side of the channel 213 has an opening, the heat sink 10 is installed at the opening, and the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat sink 10 is arranged toward the partition 22, the heat dissipation pin fin 111 is inserted into the jet hole 221, and the end of the heat dissipation pin fin 111 away from the heat dissipation surface 11 extends into the first sub-channel 213, and the aperture of the jet hole 221 is larger than the outer diameter of the heat dissipation pin fin 111, so that there is a gap between the heat dissipation pin fin 111 and the jet hole 221, so that water can pass through.
[0036] like Figure 3 The first direction X and the second direction Y shown are perpendicular to each other. The first direction X may be the extension direction of the coolant channel 21, and the second direction Y may be the direction from the first sub-channel 213 to the second sub-channel 214. The heat sink 10 is located on one side of the coolant channel 21 in the second direction Y, and the heat sink 10 is arranged opposite to the partition 22, and the partition 22 is extended along the first direction X.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of heat dissipation pin fins 111 may be provided at intervals on the heat dissipation surface 11 of the aforementioned heat dissipation plate 10, and a plurality of jet holes 221 may be correspondingly provided on the aforementioned partition 22. The plurality of jet holes 221 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of heat dissipation pin fins 111, and each heat dissipation pin fin 111 is inserted into the corresponding jet hole 221, and the aperture of each jet hole 221 is larger than the outer diameter of the corresponding heat dissipation pin fin 111.
[0038] With such arrangement, the liquid cooling liquid enters the first sub-channel 213 from the liquid inlet 211 of the cooling liquid channel 21, and flows from the bottom to the top to the second sub-channel 214 through the jet hole 221 connected to the second sub-channel 214, and then flows out from the liquid outlet 212 connected to the second sub-channel 214, forming a three-dimensional flow heat dissipation space, and during the flow process, the heat dissipation pin fins 111 flow at least once from bottom to top, taking away the heat, realizing three-dimensional space flow heat dissipation, taking away the heat of the heat sink 10, breaking the existing technology of only Instead of simply increasing the number of heat sink pin fins 111 on the heat sink 10 to increase the heat exchange contact area in two dimensions, we break through the inherent idea and achieve three-dimensional flow energy conversion from a three-dimensional spatial perspective by setting jet holes 221, increase the circuitous flow space, and use the jet principle to double the heat exchange contact and heat dissipation area and heat dissipation time with the heat sink 10, thereby reducing the thermal resistance of the power module, improving the cooling and heat exchange efficiency, and improving the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, we can also control the number of heat sink pin fins 111 to prevent the flow channel from being blocked by foreign matter.
[0039] An optional embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the aforementioned flow channel assembly 20 may also include: a first jet ring 222 disposed on the aforementioned baffle 22 and located between the baffle 22 and the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat dissipation plate 10, the first end of the first jet ring 222 is connected to the jet hole 221, the second end of the first jet ring 222 opposite to the first end extends toward the heat dissipation surface 11 and is spaced from the heat dissipation surface 11, the heat dissipation pin fin 111 is inserted in the jet hole 221 and the first jet ring 222, and the inner diameter of the first jet ring 222 is greater than or equal to the aperture of the jet hole 221, so as to form a first longitudinal annular jet channel 31. Specifically, the first jet ring 222 may also be provided in plurality, and the plurality of first jet rings 222 are arranged one-to-one with the aforementioned plurality of jet holes 221, the first end of each of the first jet rings 222 is connected to the corresponding jet hole 221, and the inner diameter of each of the first jet rings 222 is greater than or equal to the aperture of the corresponding jet hole 221.
[0040] The setting of the first jet ring 222 further increases the three-dimensional space circuitous path, increases fluidity, increases the contact conversion area with the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat dissipation plate 10 and the heat dissipation pin fins 111, improves the cooling heat exchange efficiency, and improves the heat dissipation effect.
[0041] Another optional embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the aforementioned flow channel assembly 20 may also include: a second jet ring 112 disposed on the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat dissipation plate 10 and located between the partition 22 and the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat dissipation plate 10, and the inner diameter of the second jet ring 112 is greater than the outer diameter of the heat dissipation pin fin 111, so that the second jet ring 112 is disposed around the heat dissipation pin fin 111, and the second jet ring 112 is spaced apart from the partition 22 to form a first transverse annular jet channel 32. Specifically, the second jet ring 112 may also be provided in plurality, and the plurality of second jet rings 112 are disposed one-to-one with the plurality of first jet rings 222, each of the second jet rings 112 is sleeved on the outer side of the corresponding first jet ring 222, and the inner diameter of each second jet ring 112 is greater than the outer diameter of the corresponding first jet ring 222.
[0042] The provision of the second jet ring 112 also further increases the three-dimensional space circuitous path, increases fluidity, increases the contact energy conversion area with the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat dissipation plate 10 and the heat dissipation pin fins 111, improves the cooling heat exchange efficiency, and improves the heat dissipation effect.
[0043] Another optional embodiment is, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the flow channel assembly 20 may include the aforementioned first jet ring 222 and the second jet ring 112 at the same time, the second jet ring 112 is sleeved on the outside of the first jet ring 222, and the inner diameter of the second jet ring 112 is greater than the outer diameter of the first jet ring 222. Specifically, the flow channel assembly 20 may include the aforementioned multiple first jet rings 222 and multiple second jet rings 112 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, each of the second jet rings 112 is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding first jet ring 222, and the inner diameter of each of the second jet rings 112 is greater than the outer diameter of the corresponding first jet ring 222.
[0044] Such an arrangement can form a more circuitous three-dimensional flow heat dissipation channel 30, further improving the three-dimensional spatial circuitous path, increasing fluidity, improving cooling and heat exchange efficiency, and improving heat dissipation effect.
[0045] A specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the inner peripheral side wall of the first jet ring 222 is spaced apart from the outer peripheral side wall of the heat dissipation pin fin 111 to form a first longitudinal annular jet channel 31, and the first longitudinal annular jet channel 31 is connected to the first sub-channel 213 through the jet hole 221; the second end of the first jet ring 222 is spaced apart from the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat dissipation plate 10 to form a first transverse annular jet channel 32; the outer peripheral side wall of the first jet ring 222 is spaced apart from the inner peripheral side wall of the second jet ring 112 to form a second longitudinal annular jet channel 31. To the annular jet channel 33; the second longitudinal annular jet channel 33 is connected to the second sub-channel 214; the end of the second jet ring 112 close to the partition 22 is spaced apart from the partition 22 to form a second transverse annular jet channel 34, and the second transverse annular jet channel 34 is connected to the second sub-channel 214; the first longitudinal annular jet channel 31, the first transverse annular jet channel 32 and the second longitudinal annular jet channel 33 and the second transverse annular jet channel 34 are sequentially connected to form the three-dimensional flow heat dissipation channel 30.
[0046] Specific as Figure 5 The arrow shown indicates the flow direction. The liquid cooling liquid can enter from the liquid inlet 211, flow from the first longitudinal annular jet channel 31 through the first transverse annular jet channel 32, then through the second longitudinal annular jet channel 33, and then through the second transverse annular jet channel 34, and exit from the liquid outlet 212, completing the flow of a circuitous three-dimensional flow heat dissipation channel 30. Each three-dimensional flow heat dissipation channel 30 flows and circulates along this path in sequence, and finally completes the heat exchange flow of the entire heat sink 10.
[0047] The three-dimensional flow heat dissipation channel 30 arranged in this way greatly broadens the flow heat dissipation circuitous path from the three-dimensional space perspective, greatly increases the circuitous flow space, greatly increases the heat exchange contact heat dissipation area and heat dissipation time with the heat sink 10, greatly reduces the thermal resistance of the power module, improves the cooling heat exchange efficiency, and improves the heat dissipation effect.
[0048] An optional embodiment is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the heat dissipation pin fin 111 can be arranged on the central axis of the second jet ring 112; when the heat dissipation pin fin 111 extends into the corresponding first jet ring 222, the heat dissipation pin fin 111 can be located on the central axis of the first jet ring 222, that is, preferably arranged in a central symmetrical manner. This can greatly increase the overall circuitousness and improve the overall heat dissipation effect.
[0049] A specific embodiment is as follows Figure 5As shown, the first spacing a1 between the inner peripheral side wall of the first jet ring 222 and the outer peripheral side wall of the heat dissipation pin fin 111 is preferably between 0.8 and 1.1 mm; the second spacing a2 between the outer peripheral side wall of the first jet ring 222 and the inner peripheral side wall of the second jet ring 112 is preferably between 0.8 and 1.1 mm; preferably, the first spacing a1 and the second spacing a2 are set equal. This spacing size setting can effectively prevent foreign matter from clogging and ensure appropriate flow resistance for heat dissipation.
[0050] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the size of the third spacing b1 between the end surface of the second end of the first jet ring 222 and the heat dissipation surface 11 of the heat dissipation plate 10 is preferably between 0.9 and 1.2 mm; the size of the fourth spacing b2 between the end surface of the second jet ring 112 close to the partition 22 and the top surface of the partition 22 close to the second jet ring 112 is preferably between 0.9 and 1.2 mm; preferably, the third spacing b1 and the fourth spacing b2 are set equal. This spacing size setting can effectively prevent foreign matter from clogging and ensure appropriate flow resistance for heat dissipation.
[0051] Furthermore, Figure 5 As shown, the outer diameter c of the second jet ring 112 is less than or equal to 8 mm, and the size of the spacing setting of the outer diameter c can ensure that a single heat dissipation pin fin 111 can cover a sufficiently large heat dissipation area.
[0052] As described above, in the first embodiment of the present application, a power module 200 and a heat sink 10 and a flow channel assembly 20 are disposed in connection with each other.

Two spaced-apart partitions 22 are provided inside the coolant channel 21. The two spaced-apart partitions 22 are respectively a first partition 231 and a second partition 232. The first partition 231 and the second partition 232 divide the coolant channel 21 into a first sub-channel 213 and two second sub-channels 214 located on opposite sides of the first sub-channel 213. The first sub-channel 213 is connected to the liquid inlet 211, and the two second sub-channels 214 are respectively connected to the liquid outlet 212; the first jet hole 2311 on the first partition 231 connects the first sub-channel 213 with one of the second sub-channels 214, and the second jet hole 2321 on the second partition 232 connects the first sub-channel 213 with the other second sub-channel 214.

[0056] In this way, two power modules 200 (the first power module 201 and the second power module 202) and two heat sinks 10 (the first heat sink 121 and the second heat sink 122) can share a coolant flow channel 21 and be connected back to back, so that the heat sink pin fins 111 of the heat sinks 10 of the two power modules 200 form mutual disturbance flows, thereby greatly improving the power density of the motor drive controller, and also greatly improving the efficiency of cooling and heat exchange.
[0057] Furthermore, the heat dissipation pin fins 111 on the first heat dissipation plate 121 and the heat dissipation pin fins 111 on the second heat dissipation plate 122 are as follows: Figure 3 The first direction X shown is alternately and spaced apart; the first jet holes 2311 of the first baffle 231 and the second jet holes 2321 of the second baffle 232 are alternately and spaced apart along the first direction X; the two heat sinks are respectively located on the opposite sides of the coolant flow channel 21 in the second direction Y.
