A cylindrical hard insulating glass 107 is provided in each mounting hole. An intercommunication pin 103 is provided in the inner hole of the hard insulating glass 107. The hard insulating glass 107 is rigidly connected to the intercommunication pin 103 and the metal support frame 105 (under normal conditions, no movement or deformation will occur). The hard insulating glass 107 insulates the intercommunication pin 103 and the metal support frame 105.

[0032] External plugs and internal plugs are provided at both ends of the interconnecting pin 103. A plug-in plastic shell 102 is installed on the upper surface of the metal support frame 105. The plug-in plastic shell 102 is provided with plastic shell pin aisles 206 corresponding to the three interconnecting pins 103. The external plug of each interconnecting pin 103 is located in the corresponding plastic shell pin aisle 206, and a gap is left between the external plug of the interconnecting pin 103 and the inner wall of the plastic shell pin aisle 206. An upper sealing rubber frame 104 is provided between the plug-in plastic shell 102 and the metal support frame 105, the hard insulating glass 107, and the interconnecting pin 103. The upper sealing rubber frame 104 seals the gap between adjacent components.

[0033] A lower sealing rubber frame 108 is sleeved on the built-in plug of the three intercommunication pins 103. The lower sealing rubber frame 108 is in contact with the metal support frame 105 and the hard insulating glass 107. The lower sealing rubber frame 108 is used to seal the gap between adjacent components.

[0034] The middle part of the hard insulating glass 107 is cylindrical, the middle part of the hard insulating glass 107 is matched with the mounting hole on the metal support frame 105, the two ends of the hard insulating glass 107 extend out of the mounting holes on the metal support frame 105, the two ends of the hard insulating glass 107 are conical, the upper sealing rubber frame 104 and the lower sealing rubber frame 108 are in contact with the conical surface of the hard insulating glass 107, and form an axial fixing force. The elastic fixing prevents the hard insulating glass 107 from being damaged and can also resist earthquakes.

[0035] The metal support frame 105 is provided with screw holes, each screw hole is matched with a plug-in locking screw 101, and the plug-in locking screw 101 is connected to the surface of the motor housing of the controllerless electric compressor 403 to form a rigid connection between the metal support frame 105 and the motor housing of the controllerless electric compressor 403. The upper surface edge of the metal support frame 105 is provided with a plurality of bosses, each boss is provided with the screw hole in the vertical direction, and the edge portion of the plug-in plastic shell 102 is positioned on the plurality of bosses.

[0036] The width of the external plug of the interconnecting pin 103 is greater than the diameter of the middle part of the interconnecting pin 103, and the upper sealing rubber frame 104 forms an axial limit for the external plug. The external plug of the interconnecting pin 103 is directly plugged into the external wiring harness plug to accept the three-phase input voltage. The external wiring harness is electrically connected to the central motherboard of the automobile. The built-in plugs of the three interconnecting pins 103 are directly plugged into the power motor of the controllerless electric compressor 403 to output the three-phase voltage so that the central motherboard of the automobile controls the power motor to work. The lower sealing rubber frame 108 cooperates with the motor plug-in 404 on the power motor of the controllerless electric compressor 403 to seal. A sealing ring 106 is provided between the lower surface of the metal support frame 105 and the motor housing of the controllerless electric compressor 403, and the sealing ring 106 surrounds the lower sealing rubber frame 108.

[0037] The present invention realizes the function of directly controlling the operation of the electric compressor by the automobile central mainboard, replacing the control method of the compressor controller commonly used in the market to control the compressor, ensuring that the entire structure can meet the insulation requirements of the voltage of 1000V and the waterproof performance meets the requirements of IP67.

[0038] Control principle:

[0039] 1. This structure uses the intercommunication pin 103, the upper end of which is directly connected to the external wiring harness plug to receive the three-phase input voltage, and the lower end is directly connected to the power motor to output the three-phase voltage to make the motor work. The intercommunication pin 103 is integrated from top to bottom, and is directly plugged with the corresponding structure, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, and is easy to assemble and maintain;

[0040] 2. This structure uses the plug-in plastic shell 102 as the plastic skeleton of the entire connector. Its internal structure allows all parts to be installed in its internal space. Its exterior is matched with the external plug, has an error-proof structure, and insulates the inside and outside. The plug-in adopts an integrated molding process, has good sealing, and ensures insulation;

[0041] 3. This structure uses the metal support frame 105 as the metal support frame of the entire connector, and its lower surface is the sealing surface, which forms a sealing structure with the sealing ring 106 and the surface of the motor housing to ensure that the entire plug-in meets IP67 after assembly;

[0042] 4. This structure is composed of an intercommunication pin 103, a metal support frame 105, and a hard insulating glass 107. The intercommunication pin 103 is rigidly connected to the hard insulating glass 107, and the metal support frame 105 is also rigidly connected to the hard insulating glass 107, so that the three intercommunication pins 103 are completely fixed, ensuring the structural requirements for their insertion with the external plug and the built-in motor. The hard insulating glass 107 is made of insulating material, and the hard insulating glass 107 completely wraps the middle part of the intercommunication pin 103, ensuring the insulation performance of the intercommunication pin 103 and the metal support frame 105;

[0043] 5. This structure ensures the electrical clearance between the three inter-connecting pins 103 through the inter-connecting pins 103, the upper sealing rubber frame 104, the metal support frame 105, the hard insulating glass 107, and the lower sealing rubber frame 108;

[0044] 6. This structure ensures that after the structure is installed on the compressor, lubricating oil will not enter between the interconnecting pins 103 and the metal supporting frame 105 through the interconnecting pins 103, the metal supporting frame 105, the hard insulating glass 107, and the lower sealing rubber frame 108, thereby ensuring the creepage distance therebetween, so that this structure can be applied to the vehicle system with a voltage platform of more than 1000V;

[0045] 7. This structure ensures the electrical clearance between the interconnecting pins 103 and the compressor housing after the structure is assembled through the lower sealing rubber frame 108, the plastic shell pin channel 206, and the motor plug-in 404, so that this structure can be applied to the vehicle system with a voltage platform above 1000V.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
