Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application. The application number of the original application is 202111204608.2, and the original application date is October 15, 2021. The entire contents of the original application are incorporated into this application by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of power supply, and in particular to a power supply housing, a power supply conversion device and an electronic device. Background Art
[0003] A switching power supply, also known as an exchange power supply or a switching converter, is a high-frequency electric energy conversion device and a type of power supply. Its function is to convert a voltage into the voltage or current required by the user through different forms of architecture. As the density of the power module of the switching power supply increases, conventional air cooling and natural heat dissipation can no longer meet the heat dissipation requirements, and more and more high-power modules use liquid cooling. For example, when the power module is a car charger, the MOS tube and magnetic devices of the car charger are the main heat-generating devices. In order to quickly take away the heat of the heat-generating devices, there are many solutions for the heat dissipation of the car charger. Generally, a water channel is provided in the power supply casing, and the MOS tube is attached to the wall of the water channel to dissipate the heat, and the cooling water in the water channel directly takes away the heat. The power supply casing can be formed by a drawing process or a die-casting process to form a flow channel, but when the casing is formed by the drawing process, it cannot be stretched to form an integrated fixing column. Each fixing column needs to be fixed in the shell individually and then the fixing column is fixed to the device. The process time is long and the connection stability between the fixing column and the stretched shell is poor. When the casing is formed by the die-casting process, although the fixing column can be formed during die-casting, the cost of the die-casting mold and the process complexity will increase. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present application provides a power supply housing capable of stably fixing components.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a power supply housing, comprising an outer shell and a fixing plate, wherein the outer shell has a receiving cavity, and a first flow channel is arranged in the outer shell; the fixing plate is located in the receiving cavity, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to at least a portion of the inner surface of the outer shell facing at least a portion of the surface of the outer shell, and the fixing plate is used to fix a power conversion functional component, and the heat generating device in the power conversion functional component is dissipated by the cooling fluid in the first flow channel.
[0006] In one embodiment, the housing is formed by a deep drawing process, the housing is made of aluminum, and the aluminum plate is formed into a housing with a receiving cavity by a deep drawing process. The first flow channel in the housing is used to cool the heat generating device in the power conversion functional component, wherein the cooling fluid of the first flow channel can be water, a cooling medium or a phase change medium.
[0007] In some embodiments, the housing is formed by a die-casting process and forms a first flow channel.
[0008] In the present application, the power housing is applied to a power conversion device, which includes a power housing and a power conversion functional component located in the power housing. The power housing also includes a cover plate, one side of the housing has an opening, and the cover plate covers the opening of the housing.
[0009] The power conversion functional component includes a circuit board, a magnetic device, etc., wherein the heating device of the power conversion functional component includes an insulated gate bipolar transistor, a triode, a MOS tube, etc. located on the circuit board, and the heating device also includes an inductor device or a voltage device in the magnetic device. One of the functions of the circuit board is to connect the insulated gate bipolar transistor, the triode, the MOS tube, and the magnetic device. Since there are multiple devices in the power conversion functional component, these devices need to be fixed in the receiving cavity of the shell. The outer shell formed by the die-casting process can be directly die-cast on the inner wall of the outer shell to form fixed columns, which are used to fix the device. However, there are generally more fixed columns, which will increase the cost of the die-casting mold and the complexity of the process. When the outer shell is formed by the deep drawing process, the fixed columns for fixing the device cannot be integrally formed on the inner surface of the outer shell, and the fixed columns need to be welded on the inner surface of the outer shell. Generally, the fixed columns are first fixed to the inner surface of the outer shell by welding or adhesive, and then the power conversion functional component is fixed to the fixed columns to fix the power conversion functional component in the outer shell. This method requires the fixed columns to be fixed one by one on the inner surface of the outer shell. Generally, the end face size of the fixed columns is small, and the fixation to the inner surface of the outer shell is unstable. On the other hand, if the fixed columns are welded to the outer shell one by one or bonded to the outer shell one by one by adhesive, the welding process takes a long time and is relatively complicated. On the other hand, when the material of the outer shell formed by the deep drawing process or the die-casting process is aluminum, the stability of direct welding on the aluminum outer shell is poor, the welding yield is low, and the stability of direct bonding on the aluminum outer shell by adhesive is also poor.
[0010] In the present application, at least a portion of the surface of the fixing plate facing the shell is fixedly connected to at least a portion of the inner surface of the shell, and the fixed connection method includes welding or bonding with an adhesive. The fixed connection between the surface of the fixing plate and the surface of the shell can improve the stability of the connection. Compared with the connection method between the small-sized end face of the stud and the inner surface of the shell, the surface of the fixing plate and the surface of the shell are connected face to face, and the connection area is large and the connection stability is higher. The fixing plate is then fixedly connected to the power conversion functional component to fix the power conversion functional component in the receiving cavity inside the shell. Compared with the method of forming a fixed column by a die-casting process, the process of using a fixing plate is simpler and the process cost is low.
[0011] In one embodiment, the entire surface of the fixing plate facing the shell is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the shell to improve the connection stability between the fixing plate and the shell. In one embodiment, a partial surface of the fixing plate facing the shell can be fixedly connected to the inner surface of the shell.
[0012] In a possible implementation, the fixing plate is provided with a fixing hole penetrating two opposite surfaces of the fixing plate, a fixing sub-component is provided in the fixing hole, and the fixing hole cooperates with the fixing sub-component to fix the power conversion functional component.
[0013] In one embodiment, the area of the surface of the fixing plate facing the housing is greater than 1 / 4 times the area of the inner surface of the housing, so that the fixing plate has a sufficient area to install a sufficient number of fixing components.
[0014] In a possible implementation, the shell includes the base plate and a peripheral side plate located on one side of the base plate and surrounding the base plate, the base plate and the peripheral side plate are arranged to form the accommodating cavity, and the fixed plate includes a first fixed sub-plate stacked with the base plate, at least a portion of the surface of the first fixed sub-plate facing the base plate is fixedly connected to at least a portion of the inner surface of the base plate, and an area of the surface of the first fixed sub-plate facing the base plate is greater than or equal to 0.5 times the area of the surface of the base plate facing the first fixed sub-plate, and is less than or equal to the area of the surface of the base plate facing the first fixed sub-plate.
[0015] In one embodiment, the peripheral side plate is perpendicular to the bottom plate, and when the shell is formed by a deep drawing process, the peripheral side plate can be arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate. In this embodiment, when the shell is formed by a deep drawing process, the connection between the peripheral side plate and the bottom plate is a rounded corner. In one embodiment, the peripheral side plate deviates from the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate by a certain angle, and when the shell is formed by a die casting process, the peripheral side plate has a draft angle, so that the peripheral side plate deviates from the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate by a certain angle.
[0016] Among them, setting the area of the first fixed sub-board to be larger than half the area of the bottom plate is conducive to fixing the power conversion functional component. Since the functional devices of the power conversion functional component are relatively large and scattered, including but not limited to circuit boards, inductors, transformers, etc., when these functional devices are distributed on the left, right, front, back or middle of the accommodating cavity, the area of the first fixed sub-board cannot be too small, and the area of the surface of the first fixed sub-board facing the bottom plate is greater than or equal to . times the area of the surface of the bottom plate facing the first fixed sub-board, so that the first fixed sub-board has enough area to install a sufficient number of fixed sub-components for fixing each functional device in the power conversion functional component.
[0017] In some embodiments, when the area of the first fixed sub-plate is small, the first fixed sub-plate can be patterned so that the first fixed sub-plate can fix the functional devices in the power conversion functional component that are arranged toward the base plate.

The second fixed sub-plate can fix the power conversion functional component from the side, for example, it can fix the surface of the magnetic device facing the peripheral side plate, thereby improving the stability of the fixed connection. The second fixed sub-plate intersects with the first fixed sub-plate, including the second fixed sub-plate intersecting with the first fixed sub-plate perpendicularly, or the second fixed sub-plate deviates from a certain angle compared to the direction perpendicular to the first fixed sub-plate. For example, in one embodiment, the angle between the second fixed sub-plate and the first fixed sub-plate is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 90°. The second fixed sub-plate can be used to fix part of the power conversion functional component that is a certain distance away from the peripheral side plate.
[0019] In one embodiment, the second fixed sub-plate and the first fixed sub-plate are an integrated structure. That is, the fixed plate is an integrated structure. The material of the fixed plate is aluminum. In one embodiment, the shape of the fixed plate is adapted to the outer shell, and the fixed plate is attached to the inner wall of the outer shell, wherein the fixed plate can be formed by a deep drawing process, and the fixed plate can also be formed by a bending process.

The first portion, the first fixed sub-plate, and the second portion are an integrated structure. The second fixed sub-plate is fixed to the peripheral side plate by fixing the first portion and the second portion to the first side plate and the second side plate, respectively. The second fixed sub-plate only includes the first portion and the second portion, which can save costs while ensuring connection reliability.

In some embodiments, the first direction is the length direction of the power housing, and the second direction is the width direction of the power housing.
[0022] In one embodiment, the fixing plate is connected and fixed to both the bottom plate and the peripheral side plate of the housing, thereby increasing the fixing connection area and improving the stability of the fixing connection.
[0023] In one embodiment, the second fixed sub-board has a fixing piece at one end away from the first fixed sub-board, and the fixing piece extends from the second fixed sub-board to the middle of the receiving cavity. The fixing piece is used to fix the functional components in the power conversion functional assembly that are arranged away from the bottom plate.

The bottom plate and the surrounding side plates in the shell of the integrated structure are continuous, and no welding parts or fixings are required, which can save costs, and the sealing of the first flow channel is better. In some embodiments, a die-casting process is used to form a groove, and then a sealing plate is used to cover the groove to form a flow channel. The sealing position of the sealing plate and the groove needs to be welded by stir friction welding or bonded with an adhesive, which makes the sealing of the flow channel poor, and after long-term use, the welding or bonding of the adhesive is poor. In addition, the cooling water is more sensitive to defects on the groove formed by die-casting, such as pores, shrinkage, cracks, etc., and the risk of water leakage is high.

[0089] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0090] In this document, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0091] In addition, in this article, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the structure schematically placed in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they can change accordingly according to the change of the orientation of the structure.
[0092] For ease of understanding, the English abbreviations and related technical terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained and described below.
[0093] Drawing process: also known as drawing, stretching, calendering, etc., refers to a mechanical processing process that uses a die to punch a certain shape of flat blank obtained after punching into various open hollow parts or to reduce the diameter of the open hollow blank and increase the height. The drawing process can be used to manufacture thin-walled parts in cylindrical, stepped, conical, spherical, box-shaped and other irregular shapes.
[0094] MOS tube: It is the abbreviation of MOSFET, Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-EffectTransistor, metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor.
[0095] Die casting: Die casting is a precision casting method that uses high pressure to force molten metal into a complex-shaped metal mold. Its characteristic is that high pressure is applied to the molten metal in the mold cavity. The mold is usually made of a higher-strength alloy.
[0096] Draft angle: The draft angle is also the demolding angle, which is the slope designed on both sides of the mold cavity to facilitate demolding.
[0097] Welding flange: It is a part that connects pipes to each other and is connected to the pipe ends.
[0098] Friction stir welding: It refers to the use of the heat generated by the friction between the high-speed rotating welding tool and the workpiece to partially melt the material to be welded. When the welding tool moves forward along the welding interface, the plasticized material flows from the front to the back of the welding tool under the action of the rotating friction force of the welding tool, and forms a dense solid phase weld under the extrusion of the welding tool.
[0099] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present application, a power supply housing 10 is provided, comprising a housing 100 and a fixing plate 200. The housing 100 has a receiving cavity 101, and a first flow channel 300 is provided in the housing 100. The fixing plate 200 is located in the receiving cavity 101, and at least a portion of the surface of the fixing plate 200 facing the housing 100 is fixedly connected to at least a portion of the inner surface of the housing 100. The fixing plate 200 is used to fix a power conversion functional component 400 (such as Figure 2a As shown), the heat generating device 401 in the power conversion functional component 400 is cooled by the cooling fluid in the first flow channel 300.
[0100] The housing 100 is formed by a deep drawing process, and the material of the housing 100 is aluminum. The aluminum plate is subjected to a deep drawing process to form the housing 100 having the receiving cavity 101. The first flow channel 300 in the housing 100 is used to cool the heating device 401 in the power conversion functional component 400, and the cooling fluid of the first flow channel 300 can be water, a cooling medium, or a phase change medium. In some embodiments, the housing 100 is formed by a die-casting process, and the first flow channel 300 is formed.
[0101] In the present application, the power supply housing 10 is applied to a power conversion device 20 (such as Figure 2a ), the power conversion device 20 includes a power housing 10 and a power conversion functional component 400 located in the power housing 10, the power housing 10 also includes a cover 600, one side of the housing 100 has an opening 106, and the cover 600 covers the opening 106 of the housing 100. The power conversion functional component 400 is a combination of components for realizing the power conversion function, wherein the power conversion includes the conversion of AC into high-voltage DC, for example, converting 220V civil AC or 380V industrial AC into high-voltage DC for charging the target device. When the target device is a car, the high-voltage DC can be 450V; the target device can also be other devices that need power supply; the power conversion also includes the conversion of high-voltage DC into low-voltage DC, for example, the high-voltage DC in the car is converted into low-voltage DC for powering low-voltage devices such as car lights, audio, and radios. The housing 100 can be provided with a connection hole 107 (such as Figure 3 As shown), the power conversion device 20 also includes a connecting member 21 (as shown Figure 2a As shown), the connector 21 connects the power conversion functional component 400 and the external load or external power supply through the connecting hole 107.
[0102] See also Figure 2b The power conversion functional component 400 includes a circuit board 410, a magnetic device 420, etc., wherein the heating device 401 of the power conversion functional component 400 includes an insulated gate bipolar transistor 411, a triode 412, a MOS tube, etc. located on the circuit board 410, and the heating device 401 also includes an inductor device or a transformer, etc. in the magnetic device 420. One of the functions of the circuit board 410 is to connect the insulated gate bipolar transistor 411, the triode 412, the MOS tube, and the magnetic device 420, etc. Since the power conversion functional component 400 has multiple devices, these devices need to be fixed in the receiving cavity 101 of the housing 100. The housing formed by the die-casting process can directly die-cast fixed columns on the inner wall of the housing. The fixed columns are used to fix the device. However, there are generally more fixed columns, which will increase the cost of the die-casting mold and the complexity of the process. When the housing 100 is formed by the deep drawing process, it is impossible to integrally form the fixed columns for fixing the device on the inner surface of the housing 100. It is necessary to weld the fixed columns on the inner surface of the housing 100. Generally, the fixed columns are first fixed to the inner surface of the housing 100 by welding or adhesive, and then the power conversion functional component 400 is fixed to the fixed columns to fix the power conversion functional component 40 in the housing 100. This method requires fixing the fixing columns one by one on the inner surface of the shell 100. Generally, the end face size of the fixing columns is small, and the fixation with the inner surface of the shell 100 is unstable. On the other hand, if the fixing columns are welded to the shell 100 one by one or bonded to the shell one by one by adhesive, the welding process takes a long time and is relatively complicated. On the other hand, when the material of the shell 100 formed by the deep drawing process or the die-casting process is aluminum, the stability of direct welding on the aluminum shell 100 is poor, the welding yield is low, and the stability of direct bonding on the aluminum shell 100 by adhesive is also poor.
[0103] In the present application, at least a portion of the surface of the fixing plate 200 facing the outer shell 100 is fixedly connected to at least a portion of the inner surface of the outer shell 100, and the fixed connection method includes welding or bonding with an adhesive. The fixed connection between the surface of the fixing plate 200 and the surface of the outer shell 100 can improve the stability of the connection. Compared with the connection method between the small-sized end face of the stud and the inner surface of the outer shell 100, the surface of the fixing plate 200 and the surface of the outer shell 100 are connected face to face, and the connection area is large and the connection stability is higher. The fixing plate 200 is then fixedly connected to the power conversion functional component 400 to fix the power conversion functional component 400 in the accommodating cavity 101 inside the outer shell 100. Compared with the method of forming a fixed column by a die-casting process, the process of using the fixing plate 200 is simpler and has a low process cost.
[0104] In one embodiment, the entire surface of the fixing plate 200 facing the housing 100 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing 100 to improve the connection stability between the fixing plate 200 and the housing 100. In one embodiment, a partial surface of the fixing plate 200 facing the housing 100 can be fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing 100.
[0105] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5b In a possible implementation, the fixing plate 200 is provided with fixing holes 210 (such as Figure 5b As shown), a fixing sub-component 220 is disposed in the fixing hole 210, and the fixing hole 210 cooperates with the fixing sub-component 220 to fix the power conversion functional component 400.
[0106] The size and quantity of the fixing hole 210 and the fixing sub-component 220 can be set according to the size and quantity of the functional components in the power conversion functional component 400, so that each component in the power conversion functional component 400 can be stably fixed in the housing 100. Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 200 has a plurality of fixing sub-components 220, wherein the fixing sub-components 220 can be studs or rivets, and the fixing sub-components 220 and the fixing holes 210 can be fixed by threaded connection or riveting. When the fixing method is threaded connection, the fixing sub-components 220 are studs, and the inner wall of the fixing hole 210 is provided with internal threads matching the studs. When the fixing method is riveting, the fixing sub-components 220 are rivets 221 (such as Figure 5b As shown in FIG. 1 , one end of the fixing hole 210 facing the housing 100 has a groove 211 sunken into the hole wall of the fixing hole 210, and the side of the rivet 221 close to the housing 100 has a convex portion 222 convexly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rivet 221, and the convex portion 222 is located in the groove 211 to fix the rivet 221 in the fixing hole 210. When there are multiple fixing sub-components 220, the height of each fixing sub-component 220 can be set as needed, and the height of some of the multiple fixing sub-components 220 can be set higher, such as Fig.10 The fixing sub-components 220 in the embodiment may be configured to have a lower height than the fixing sub-components. Fig.10 The fixing sub-component 230 in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0107] In one embodiment, the area of the surface of the fixing plate 200 facing the housing 100 is greater than 1 / 4 times the area of the inner surface of the housing 100 , so that the fixing plate 200 has enough area to install a sufficient number of fixing sub-components 220 .
[0108] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6In a possible implementation, the housing 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a peripheral side plate 120 located on one side of the bottom plate 110 and surrounding the bottom plate 110. The bottom plate 110 and the peripheral side plate 120 are arranged to form a receiving cavity 101. The fixing plate 200 includes a first fixing sub-plate 260 (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, at least a portion of the surface of the first fixed sub-plate 260 facing the bottom plate 110 is fixedly connected to at least a portion of the inner surface of the bottom plate 110, and the area of the surface of the first fixed sub-plate 260 facing the bottom plate 110 is greater than or equal to 0.5 times the area of the surface of the bottom plate 110 facing the first fixed sub-plate 260, and is less than or equal to the area of the surface of the bottom plate 110 facing the first fixed sub-plate 260.
[0109] In this embodiment, the side plate 120 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 110. When the housing 100 is formed by a deep drawing process, the side plate 120 can be arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate 110. In this embodiment, when the housing 100 is formed by a deep drawing process, the connection between the side plate 120 and the bottom plate 110 is a rounded corner 103 (such as Figure 4 In one embodiment, the side plate 120 deviates from the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 110 by a certain angle. When the housing 100 is formed by a die-casting process, the side plate 120 has a draft angle so that the side plate 120 deviates from the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 110 by a certain angle.
[0110] The area of the first fixed sub-board 260 is set to be larger than half the area of the bottom plate 110, which is conducive to fixing the power conversion functional component 400. Since the functional components of the power conversion functional component 400 are relatively numerous and scattered, including but not limited to the circuit board 410, the inductor, the transformer, etc., when these functional components are distributed on the left, right, front, back or middle of the receiving cavity 101, the area of the first fixed sub-board 260 cannot be too small, and the area of the surface of the first fixed sub-board 260 facing the bottom plate 110 is greater than or equal to 0.5 times the area of the surface of the bottom plate 110 facing the first fixed sub-board 260, so that the first fixed sub-board 260 has enough area to install a sufficient number of fixed sub-components 220 for fixing each functional component in the power conversion functional component 400. Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 71 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the bottom plate 110 and the power conversion functional component 400. In one embodiment, the area of the surface of the first fixed sub-plate 260 facing the bottom plate 110 is equal to 0.8 times the area of the surface of the bottom plate 110 facing the first fixed sub-plate 260. The power conversion functional component 400 includes two magnetic devices 420 and a circuit board 410. The two magnetic devices 420 are respectively recorded as 420a and 420b. The circuit board 410 is located between the two magnetic devices 420. Since the first fixed sub-plate 260 occupies most of the area of the bottom plate 110, the two magnetic devices 420 and the circuit board 410 can be fixed to the fixed plate 200 through the fixed sub-plate 220. In some embodiments, when the area of the first fixed sub-plate 260 is small, the first fixed sub-plate 260 can be patterned (such as Figure 8 As shown), the first fixed sub-board 260 can fix the functional components of the power conversion functional component 400 that are arranged toward the bottom plate 110. The specific pattern can be designed according to the setting position and quantity of each component in the power conversion functional component 400.
[0111] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 It is a structural schematic diagram of the base plate 110 and the power conversion functional component 400. Two long strip support frames 201 are used to support and fix the power conversion functional device 400. The two support members 201 are distributed on both sides of the base plate 110. The support members 201 can only fix and support the magnetic devices 420a and 420b on both sides of the accommodating cavity 101, and cannot fix the circuit board 410 in the middle of the accommodating cavity 101. Only one side of the circuit board 410 and the magnetic device 420a can be fixed by welding or a fixing member 202, and the other side of the circuit board 410 and the magnetic device 420b can be fixed by welding or a fixing member 202. This will increase the cost, and the stability of the side fixation between the circuit board 410 and the magnetic device 420 is not as good as the stability of the bottom fixation between the circuit board 410 and the fixing plate 200. Therefore, for the power conversion functional component 400, its devices are relatively large and scattered. Using a larger area of the fixing plate 200 for fixing and supporting can improve the stability of the fixed connection.
[0112] Please continue reading Figure 1In a possible implementation, the fixing plate 200 further includes a second fixing sub-plate 270, which is located on the inner side of the peripheral side plate 120 and intersects with the first fixing sub-plate 260, and at least a portion of the surface of the second fixing sub-plate 270 facing the peripheral side plate 120 is fixedly connected to at least a portion of the inner surface of the peripheral side plate 120. The second fixing sub-plate 270 can fix the power conversion functional component 400 from the side, for example, can fix the surface of the magnetic device 420 facing the peripheral side plate 120, thereby improving the stability of the fixed connection. The second fixed sub-plate 270 intersects with the first fixed sub-plate 260, including the second fixed sub-plate 270 intersecting with the first fixed sub-plate 260 at a vertical angle, or the second fixed sub-plate 270 deviates from a direction perpendicular to the first fixed sub-plate 260 at a certain angle. For example, in one embodiment, the angle between the second fixed sub-plate 270 and the first fixed sub-plate 260 is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 90°. The second fixed sub-plate 270 can be used to fix a portion of the power conversion functional component 400 that is at a certain distance from the peripheral side plate 120.
[0113] In one embodiment, the second fixed sub-plate 270 and the first fixed sub-plate 260 are an integrated structure. That is, the fixed plate 200 is an integrated structure. The material of the fixed plate 200 is aluminum. In one embodiment, the shape of the fixed plate 200 is adapted to the housing 100, and the fixed plate 200 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 100, wherein the fixed plate 200 can be formed by a deep drawing process, and the fixed plate 200 can also be formed by a bending process.
[0114] In one embodiment, the second fixed sub-plate 270 includes a first portion 271 and a second portion 272 (eg, Fig.10 The peripheral side plate 120 includes a first side plate 121 and a second side plate 122 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown), the first part 271 is located on the surface of the first side plate 121 facing the receiving cavity 101, and the second part 272 is located on the surface of the second side plate 122 facing the receiving cavity 101. The first part 271, the first fixed sub-plate 260 and the second part 272 are an integrated structure. In this embodiment, the second fixed sub-plate 270 is fixed to the peripheral side plate 120 by fixing the first part 271 and the second part 272 to the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122 respectively. The second fixed sub-plate 270 only includes the first part 271 and the second part 272, which can save costs while ensuring the reliability of the connection. In some embodiments, the second fixed sub-plate 270 also includes a third part 273 (as shown in FIG. 2 ) disposed on one side of the first fixed sub-plate 260 along the second direction Y. Fig.10The third portion 273 is used to fix the surface of the power conversion functional component 400 along the second direction Y, wherein the second direction Y intersects with the first square X. In a specific embodiment, the first direction X is the width direction of the power housing 10, the second direction Y is the length direction of the power housing 10, and the second direction Y intersects with the first square X perpendicularly. In some embodiments, the first direction X is the length direction of the power housing 10, and the second direction Y is the width direction of the power housing 10.
[0115] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing plate 200 is connected and fixed to both the bottom plate 110 and the peripheral side plate 120 of the housing 100 , thereby increasing the fixed connection area and improving the stability of the fixed connection.
[0116] Please continue reading Figure 1 In one embodiment, the second fixed sub-plate 270 has a fixed sheet 240 at one end away from the first fixed sub-plate 260, and the fixed sheet 240 extends from the second fixed sub-plate 270 to the middle of the receiving cavity 101. The fixed sheet 240 is used to fix the functional components of the power conversion functional component 400 that are arranged away from the bottom plate 110. In one embodiment, the power conversion functional component 400 includes two circuit boards 410 (such as Figure 2b As shown), the third direction Z intersects the first direction X and the second direction Y perpendicularly, the third direction Z is the height direction of the power supply housing 10, the two circuit boards are respectively denoted as 410a and 410b, the circuit board 410a is fixedly connected to the first fixed sub-plate 260, the circuit board 410b is located on the side of the fixing plate 240 away from the bottom plate 110 and is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 240. Specifically, a hole can be opened on the fixing plate 240, and the circuit board 410b can be fixed to the fixing plate 240 by studs or rivets.
[0117] Please continue reading Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the housing 100 except the first flow channel 300 is an integrated structure. The bottom plate 110 and the peripheral side plate 120 in the housing 100 of the integrated structure are continuous, and no welding parts or fixing parts are required, which can save costs, and the sealing performance of the first flow channel 300 is better. Fig.11In some embodiments, the channel 303 is formed by die casting, and then the sealing plate 304 is used to cover the channel 303 to form the flow channel. The sealing position 305 of the sealing plate 304 and the channel 303 needs to be welded by stir friction welding or bonded with adhesive, which makes the sealing of the flow channel poor, and after long-term use, the stability of welding or bonding with adhesive is poor; in addition, the cooling water is more sensitive to defects such as pores, shrinkage, cracks, etc. on the channel 303 formed by die casting, and the risk of water leakage is high. In this embodiment, the part of the housing 100 that constitutes the first flow channel 300 is an integrated structure, that is, the edge of the first flow channel 300 is integrated, the sealing is better, and the risk of water leakage is avoided.
[0118] Please continue reading Figure 4 In a possible implementation, the housing 100 includes a first sub-shell 140 and a second sub-shell 150, the first sub-shell 140 is nested in the second sub-shell 150, and the cavity of the first sub-shell 140 is a receiving cavity 101, the first sub-shell 140 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 200, the first flow channel 300 is located between the first sub-shell 140 and the second sub-shell 150, and the first sub-shell 140 and the second sub-shell 150 are hot-rolled and fused into an integrated structure except for the first flow channel 300.
[0119] The first flow channel 300 may be formed by a blowing process. Specifically, a graphite rolling resistance agent (such as Fig.12 As shown): Print the graphite rolling resistance agent 306 at the position where the first flow channel 300 is to be formed between the first plate 301 and the second plate 302, and print it in the interlayer of the first plate 301 and the second plate 302 in different patterns according to the heat dissipation requirements; hot rolling (as shown Fig.13 As shown in FIG. 1 ): the portion without the printed graphite rolling resistance agent 306 will be fused together after hot rolling to form the shell prefabricated plate 105, and the portion of the first plate 301 and the second plate 302 with the graphite rolling resistance agent 306 will still be in a separated state after hot rolling; deep drawing (as shown in FIG. 1 ) Fig.14 As shown in FIG. 1 ): the shell prefabricated plate 105 after hot rolling is formed into the shell 100 by a deep drawing process, wherein the first plate 301 and the second plate 302 are respectively formed into the first subshell 140 and the second subshell 150 by a deep drawing process, and the first subshell 140 and the second subshell 150 are hot-rolled and fused into an integrated structure except for the first flow channel 300; inflation (as shown in FIG. 1 ); Fig.15 As shown): Through the inflation process, inflation will produce local deformation at the location where the graphite anti-rolling agent 306 is printed, and the second sub-shell 150 will bulge outward to form a second convex portion 153 bulging away from the first sub-shell 140, and the second convex portion 153 and the first sub-shell 140 together form a closed first flow channel 300.
[0120] Please continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 5aThe first sub-shell 140 includes a first bottom wall 141 and a first side wall 142 located at one side of the first bottom wall 141 and arranged around the first bottom wall 141. The second sub-shell 150 includes a second bottom wall 151 and a second side wall 152 located at one side of the second bottom wall 151 and arranged around the second bottom wall 151. The first bottom wall 141 and the second bottom wall 151 are stacked together to form the bottom plate 110. The first side wall 142 and the second side wall 152 are stacked together to form the peripheral side plate 120. Part of the first flow channel 300 is located between the first bottom wall 141 and the second bottom wall 151, and part of the first flow channel 300 is located between the first side wall 142 and the second side wall 152. In some embodiments, the first flow channel 300 may be located only between the first side wall 142 and the second side wall 152 (e.g., Fig.16 ), and is disposed around the entire first side wall 142. In some embodiments, the first flow channel 300 may be located only between the first bottom wall 141 and the second bottom wall 151 (as shown in FIG. Fig.17 As shown), the pattern of the first flow channel 300 can be set according to actual needs.
[0121] The first sub-shell 140 and the second sub-shell 150 are made of aluminum, which is cheap and has good thermal conductivity, while copper is expensive and stainless steel has poor thermal conductivity.
[0122] See also Fig.18 In a possible implementation, the first subshell 140 includes a first protrusion 143 that protrudes in a direction away from the second subshell 150, and the second subshell 150 and the first protrusion 143 constitute a first flow channel 300. In this embodiment, the thickness of the first protrusion 143 is less than the thickness of other parts of the second subshell 150, and the thickness refers to the dimension perpendicular to the first protrusion 143 or the second subshell 150.

[0155] (6) The raised features (e.g., the first flow channel 300) in the housing 100 formed by the deep drawing process all have rounded corners, such as Fig.15 There is a rounded corner 104 between the second protrusion 153 and the other parts of the second sub-shell 150, and the rounded corner 104 is greater than or equal to 1 times the thickness of the second sub-shell 150, while the protruding feature 153a of the housing 100a formed by the die-casting process has no rounded corner restriction (such as Fig.28 shown), but with draft angle;
[0156] (7) The outer wall of the shell 100a formed by the die-casting process must have the mold parting line, slag bag mouth, and feed port of the die, and these parts must have grinding marks, while the shell 100 formed by the deep drawing process does not have them.
