Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of motor controllers, and in particular to a motor controller structure for new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] For conventional motor controllers, the power module used is a full-bridge standard package module. Since the package volume of the standard IGBT module is large, the volume of the controller is correspondingly large, which makes it difficult to achieve the effect of improving the power density of the controller to a certain extent. In addition, due to the need for module heat dissipation, it is necessary to design an independent heat dissipation channel at the corresponding position on the box so that the module can work normally during operation. The design of the heat dissipation channel needs to be arranged according to the overall structure of the box, which has certain limitations during design and is difficult to design. In addition, the connection between the IGBT module, the thin film capacitor and the three-phase in the traditional motor controller is mainly achieved by bolts to fix the two. However, when the bolts become loose, sparks will occur, which will cause the electronic components to burn out and cause the motor controller to fail.

[0003] Although some existing technologies improve the output capacity of the motor controller by connecting single tubes in parallel, since such existing technologies do not integrate the parallel single tubes with other modules such as heat dissipation, there are still problems such as the difficulty in designing the above-mentioned heat dissipation water channel and the bolts are easy to loosen. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a motor controller structure for new energy vehicles. By arranging multiple single-tube modules side by side and arranging them on a radiator based on a ceramic substrate, a heat exchange cavity containing cooling fins is arranged on the other side of the radiator, thereby improving the overall integration. Not only does it have a better heat dissipation effect, but the design of the radiator is no longer limited to the influence of the internal structure of the box, and can be compatible with different controller boxes.

[0010] The controller structure also includes a three-phase bracket, and the PCB board is installed in the box through the three-phase bracket, and the PCB board is stacked above the film capacitor and the power heat dissipation component.

[0011] A shielding plate is provided between the film capacitor and the PCB board.

[0012] An arched ring is provided on the edge of the surface of the box cover facing the outer side of the inner cavity, and the height of the arched ring increases gradually from the inside of the outer box.

[0013] The box cover is also provided with labyrinth reinforcement ribs on the surface facing the outer side of the inner cavity, and the labyrinth reinforcement ribs are located in the center of the arch ring.

[0014] The arched ring is provided with strip reinforcing ribs.
