[0040] Before the present application was proposed, the traditional power unit was an independent packaging form, and the packaging forms included plastic packaging and frame type. The drive unit was also an independent packaging form, and the packaging form was a PCB board-mounted form, and the connection method with the power unit was soldering and bolt connection. The control unit was also an independent packaging form, and the packaging form was a PCB board-mounted form, and it was connected to the drive unit 1 through a wiring harness. The capacitor unit was also an independent packaging form, and the packaging form was plastic packaging, and it was connected to the power unit through bolts. The filter unit and the discharge unit were also independent packaging forms, and were also bolted. However, the various components of the traditional motor controller are all independent packaging forms, which are large in size and weight, low in power density, and high in cost, and can no longer meet the needs of high-performance vehicles.

[0041] In view of this, the first aspect of the present application provides a motor controller to solve the above technical problems. Figures 1 to 5 A motor controller according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the motor controller of the present application includes a capacitor unit 3, a filter unit, a power unit 2, a drive unit 1, a control unit 4 and a built-in housing 230. The filter unit and the capacitor unit 3 are encapsulated inside the built-in housing 230; the power unit 2 and the drive unit 1 are integrated on the power substrate assembly 100, the power substrate assembly 100 is fixed to the outside of the built-in housing 230, and is electrically connected to the filter unit and the capacitor unit 3; the control unit 4 is integrated on the control substrate 1100, and the control substrate 1100 is electrically connected to the power substrate assembly 100.

[0043] The present application integrates the power unit 2 and the drive unit 1 through the power substrate assembly 100, integrates the control unit 4 through the control substrate 1100, and the power substrate assembly 100 is fixed to the outside of the built-in housing 230, and is directly electrically connected to the capacitor unit 3 and the filter unit encapsulated inside the built-in housing 230, and the control substrate 1100. Compared with the prior art (each component of the existing motor controller is in an independent packaging form, and each component includes a housing connected by bolts), the high integration of the present application makes the overall volume and weight of the motor controller lower, which can achieve high power density, low cost, improve vehicle carrying capacity, and meet the needs of high-performance vehicles.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the filter unit includes a plurality of filter cores 220, and the capacitor unit 3 includes a plurality of capacitor cores 210. The built-in housing 230 is a slot structure or a hollow structure, and the plurality of capacitor cores 210 and the plurality of filter cores 220 are integrally potted in the slot structure or the hollow structure by resin to form a capacitor filter assembly 200 with the slot structure or the hollow structure.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the inner cavity of the built-in housing 230 is provided with a cooling water channel to dissipate heat for the capacitor unit 3 (a plurality of capacitor cores 210 ), the filter unit (a plurality of filter cores 220 ) and the power substrate assembly 100 .

[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the motor controller of the present application also includes a power wiring seat 400, which is arranged outside the capacitor filter assembly 200. The built-in housing 230 is provided with a water outlet and a water inlet connected to the cooling water channel, and the water outlet, the water inlet, the power wiring seat 400 and the filter core 220 are all located on the same side of the capacitor filter assembly 200. In this way, the filter core needs to be arranged next to the power wiring seat 400, so as to facilitate the electrical connection between the power wiring seat 400 and the capacitor filter assembly 200 (filter core 220).

[0047] Preferably, a copper busbar extending from the filter core 220 may be provided on the top of the built-in housing 230 of the capacitor filter assembly 200 , and the power terminal block 400 is directly laser welded to the capacitor filter assembly 200 via the copper busbar.

[0048] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the motor controller also includes a shielding plate 1200. An opening is provided on one side of the built-in housing 230, and the shielding plate 1200 is covered on the opening, and the shielding plate 1200 is arranged between the opening and the control substrate 1100. The shielding plate 1200 is arranged between the control substrate 1100 and the capacitor filter assembly 200, which can shield high and low voltage signals and improve electromagnetic compatibility performance. In addition, the shielding plate 1200 does not seal the opening on one side of the built-in housing 230, for example, space for copper busbar arrangement can be reserved.

[0049] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the motor controller also includes an external housing 800, a water inlet pipe 610, a water outlet pipe 620 and a low-voltage wiring socket 500. Among them, the low-voltage wiring socket 500 supplies power to the control substrate 1100; the external housing 800 is cylindrical, and the external housing 800 includes an upper cover 810, a bottom cover 820 and a side wall 830; the power substrate assembly 100, the capacitor filter assembly 200, the shielding plate 1200 and the control substrate 1100 are all arranged inside the external housing 800. The capacitor filter assembly 200 is fixedly welded to the bottom cover 820, the water inlet pipe 610 and the water outlet pipe 620 are respectively connected to the water inlet and the water outlet of the internal housing 230, and the water inlet pipe 610, the water outlet pipe 620, the low-voltage wiring socket 500 and the power wiring socket 400 are all fixed to the side wall 830.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power substrate assembly 100 is composed of a three-phase full bridge, and there are three power substrate assemblies 100, namely, the U-phase power substrate assembly, the V-phase power substrate assembly, and the W-phase power substrate assembly. The three power substrate assemblies 100 are arranged on the outer wall of the capacitor filter assembly 200, and the three power substrate assemblies 100 can be placed on the side, top, and bottom of the capacitor filter assembly 200, and can be selected according to the layout space of the whole vehicle. In addition, the three power substrate assemblies 100 can be soldered or silver sintered, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the built-in cooling water channel of the built-in shell 230 for the power substrate assembly 100 can be increased.

[0051] In addition, the capacitor filter assembly 200 of the present application is laser welded to the power substrate assembly 100 via a copper busbar. For example, the top of the built-in housing 230 of the capacitor filter assembly 200 may be provided with a copper busbar extending from the capacitor core 210, and the power substrate assembly 100 is directly laser welded to the capacitor filter assembly 200 via the copper busbar.

[0052] See below for Figure 3 The specific structure of the power substrate assembly 100 is described.

[0053] The power substrate assembly 100 has power chips (MOS / IGBT) embedded in the middle layer, drive circuits arranged on the upper layer, and power circuits arranged on the lower layer. Figure 3 As shown, each power substrate assembly 100 includes a driving circuit board 110 located at an upper layer and a power circuit board 120 located at a lower layer.

[0054] The driving circuit board 110 is a common multi-layer FR4 circuit board. The driving circuit board 110 includes components 111 located on the first layer, including multiple electronic devices and discharge units, such as driving chips, capacitors, resistors, transformers, etc. In addition, the driving circuit board 110 includes a low-voltage connector 113 located on the first layer, wherein the low-voltage connector 113 is electrically connected to the control substrate 1100 (for example, directly welded), and the control substrate 1100 provides power and signal transmission for the driving circuit board 110. The driving circuit board 110 includes a first insulating layer 114 located on the second layer (the first insulating layer 114 is, for example, a FR4 insulating layer) and a soldering copper layer 112, a forward power terminal 115, and a three-phase output power terminal 126 located on the third layer.

[0055] The power circuit board 120 is a circuit board in which a semiconductor chip 123 is embedded. The power circuit board 120 includes a second insulating layer 125 located on the fourth layer (the second insulating layer 125 insulates the power circuit board 120 from the driving circuit board 110), an upper copper layer 121 located on the fifth layer, and a third upper insulating layer 128 and a third lower insulating layer 129 located on the sixth and seventh layers. The power circuit board 120 also includes a negative power terminal 124 and a lower copper layer 130 located on the eighth layer, and an insulating heat-conducting layer 127 located on the ninth layer.

[0056] Furthermore, the third insulating PP layer composed of the third upper insulating layer 128 and the third lower insulating layer 129 is embedded in the semiconductor chip 123 (MOS / IGBT), and the lower copper layer 130 and the upper copper layer 121 are connected to the semiconductor chip 123 (power chip) through the via copper plating 122. It should be noted that, Figure 5 The figure shows the form of a three-phase six-switch power module (IGBT chip). Figure 3The form of two power chips is shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the number of semiconductor chips 123 can be multiple, and the specific number can be buried in the third insulating PP layer according to the needs. In this way, the form of power chip integration has lower stray parameters and is more convenient to achieve stepless power expansion, thereby achieving high performance (in the prior art, the housing space of the shell is limited, the power chip cannot be expanded, and the power chip is affected by external connectors, and the stray parameters are high).

[0057] In addition, the negative power terminal 124 and the positive power terminal 115 are laser welded to the capacitor filter assembly 200 through a copper bar. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the three three-phase output power terminals 126 of the three power substrate assemblies 100 are output through the three-phase copper busbar 700. The three-phase copper busbar 700 can be arranged on the bottom cover 820 of the external housing 800, extending out of the bottom cover 820, and connected to the three phases of the motor.

[0058] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the motor controller further includes a hollow housing 300. The external housing 800 and the hollow housing 300 are both cylindrical; the capacitor filter assembly 200, the shielding plate 1200, the control substrate 1100, the upper cover 810 and the bottom cover 820 are all provided with through holes for installing the hollow housing 300. When the motor 5 is assembled with the motor controller, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, after the hollow housing 300 is assembled through the through holes of the capacitor filter assembly 200 , the shielding plate 1200 , the control substrate 1100 , the upper cover 810 and the bottom cover 820 , the output shaft 910 of the motor 5 is then installed in the hollow housing 300 .

[0059] In this arrangement, the motor controller is installed in the same direction as the output shaft of the motor 5, which reduces the surface area and volume of the motor 5 controller, making it easier to carry the whole vehicle. Moreover, the external housing 800 and the hollow housing 300 are both cylindrical and designed to mimic the output shaft 910 of the motor 5, subverting the regular rectangular shape of the film capacitor. The annular cylindrical structure is easier to integrate with the motor 5 in the axial direction, forming a whole, and making it easier to carry.

[0060] According to a second aspect of the present application, a motor control system is provided, the motor control system comprising a motor and the above motor controller. The motor comprises a motor body 900 and an output shaft 910 , and the output shaft 910 is mounted on a hollow housing 300 .

[0061] With this configuration, when the new energy vehicle motor and motor controller are assembled, Figure 3As shown, after the hollow shell 300 is assembled through the through holes of the capacitor filter assembly 200, the shielding plate 1200, the control substrate 1100, the upper cover 810 and the bottom cover 820, the output shaft 910 of the motor is then installed in the hollow shell 300. In this way, the motor controller is installed axially with the motor, which reduces the surface area and volume of the motor controller, making it easier to carry the whole vehicle. Moreover, both the external shell 800 and the hollow shell 300 are cylindrical and designed to imitate the motor output shaft 910, subverting the regular rectangular shape of the thin film capacitor. The annular cylindrical structure is conducive to integration with the axial direction of the motor to form a whole, which is more portable.

[0062] In summary, the high-power density motor controller of the present application integrates power chips, drive units, discharge units, etc. through PCB boards, subverts the regular rectangular shape of thin-film capacitors, designs ring capacitors, and integrates them with electromagnetic filters. The ring structure is conducive to integration with the axial direction of the motor. The power substrate assembly can be placed on the side, top, and bottom of the capacitor, and the best choice can be made according to the layout space of the whole vehicle. In addition, this high-power density motor controller has lower stray parameters and is more convenient to achieve stepless power expansion, thereby achieving high performance; at the same time, high integration leads to lower volume and weight, which can achieve high power density and improve vehicle carrying capacity. In addition, the original method of producing independent components in various places and then bolting them together in the general assembly plant is complex and has high transportation costs. This application can be concentrated in one place for production, simplifying the production process, and lowering material costs.
