Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle powertrain technology, and in particular to a highly integrated inverter brick base and inverter brick assembly. Background Technology
[0002] As competition in the new energy vehicle market intensifies, the demands for miniaturization, lightweighting, and low cost in electric drive assemblies are increasing. Integrated component design is an effective way to achieve these requirements. At the electric drive assembly level, the electronic control system can be designed as an inverter brick, with its housing integrated with the housings of the motor and reducer, saving space and material usage in the assembly housing. In this case, the base of the inverter brick bears the responsibility of installing and supporting devices such as power modules, capacitors, circuit boards, and filters. Furthermore, the internal circuit structure of the inverter brick needs to be designed reasonably to complete the transmission path of electrical energy from the battery to the power module.
[0003] The design of inverter brick bases involves two types of materials: die-cast aluminum alloys are the most commonly used metal materials, while injection-molded materials such as PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) and PA66 (nylon 66) are commonly used non-metal materials. Comparing the two types of materials, aluminum alloys have higher strength and rigidity, and can achieve high dimensional accuracy through machining. After tapping, they can be used to form nuts and screws to install other components. Injection-molded materials have good fluidity and can be processed through injection molding. Utilizing their insulating properties, they can be used to make injection-molded busbars, bus capacitors, and filter housings. However, injection-molded materials have lower strength, and the dimensional accuracy after injection molding is not as good as that of machined materials. In addition, there are tiny voids inside the material, which pose a risk of insufficient sealing and coolant leakage when sealing with power modules.
[0004] Chinese patent application publication number CN121711972A discloses a motor controller, a drive assembly, and a vehicle, including a cooling component, a capacitor, a first power module, and a second power module. The cooling component has an accommodating space, the capacitor is disposed within the accommodating space, the first power module is disposed on one side of the cooling component along a first direction, and the second power module is disposed on the other side of the cooling component along the first direction. The cooling component has a first flow channel and a second flow channel for transporting coolant. The first flow channel is located between the first power module and the capacitor, and the second flow channel is located between the second power module and the capacitor. Both the first and second flow channels extend along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The inverter base in this application is made entirely of metal, resulting in heavy weight and high cost.
[0005] Chinese patent application publication number CN121566882A discloses a dual-motor controller inverter assembly, an electric drive assembly, and a vehicle, comprising: an electric drive housing with a groove having an upper opening; a heat dissipation module, which is a plate-like structure placed within the groove, and has two transversely spaced receiving slots; a heat dissipation plate at the bottom of each receiving slot; a capacitor module located below the heat dissipation module and tightly fitted to the lower end face of the heat dissipation plate; two sets of power modules, each set consisting of multiple power modules arranged in parallel along the longitudinal direction, and electrically connected to the capacitor module; and a circuit board fixed to the power modules, the circuit board covering the groove opening. The base of this application is made entirely of injection-molded material, which has weak rigidity and thermal conductivity.
[0006] Therefore, using any one of the aforementioned materials alone cannot effectively achieve an integrated, lightweight, and low-cost inverter brick base. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a highly integrated inverter brick base and inverter brick assembly. The inverter brick base is manufactured using a composite structure of die-cast aluminum and injection molding. Compared to traditional pure aluminum alloy bases, this inverter brick base eliminates the need for separate capacitor, filter, and injection-molded copper busbar structures, significantly improving integration and reducing the overall size of the inverter brick assembly. Furthermore, it requires less die-casting material, resulting in lower costs. The one-time injection molding structure also saves on the original assembly process, reducing assembly costs.
[0008] This invention provides a highly integrated inverter brick base, including a power module metal heat dissipation channel, an injection molded base, a negative copper busbar, a first positive copper busbar, a second positive copper busbar, and a filter magnetic ring;
[0009] The power module's metal heat dissipation channel, negative copper busbar, first positive copper busbar, and second positive copper busbar are fixedly connected to the matching injection molded base through injection molding, forming a highly integrated inverter brick base.
[0010] The highly integrated inverter brick base includes a DC high-voltage interface, a heat dissipation water inlet, a fuse mounting interface, a DC high-voltage output interface, driver board mounting studs, bus capacitor copper bus mounting holes, a power module mounting cavity, and a heat dissipation water outlet. The filter magnetic ring is sleeved and fixed on the two copper busbars of the DC high-voltage interface. The inverter brick base integrates the mounting structure of components such as the power module and driver board, the bus capacitor shell, the filter shell, the positive and negative copper busbars, and the heat dissipation channels. Compared with the traditional pure aluminum alloy base, the integration is significantly improved, the overall size of the inverter brick assembly is reduced, and the amount of die-casting material used is smaller, resulting in lower costs. The one-time injection molding structure also saves the original assembly steps and reduces assembly costs.
[0011] The power module metal cooling channel is a hollow rectangular cavity structure. The upper end face of the cavity has a first power module fitting port and a second power module fitting port, forming two power module mounting cavities longitudinally. The left and right side walls of the hollow rectangular cavity structure are integrally connected to a cooling water outlet and a cooling water inlet, respectively. The cooling water outlet, the cooling water inlet, and the hollow rectangular cavity structure together form the cooling channel. The first power module and the second power module are respectively fitted and sealed at the first power module fitting port and the second power module fitting port. Coolant is introduced through the cooling water inlet, flows through the power module metal cooling channel cavity around the second power module, flows to the power module metal cooling channel cavity where the first power module is housed, and finally flows out through the cooling water outlet, completing the cooling of the first power module and the second power module.
[0012] The inner bottom wall of the power module metal cooling channel has a recessed rectangular groove with a two-stage stepped structure corresponding to the area adjacent to the first and second power module fitting ports. Each side wall of the upper rectangular groove of the two-stage stepped structure is a sloping surface that slopes from the outside to the inside. The purpose of this recessed rectangular groove with a two-stage stepped structure is to slow down the flow rate of the coolant between the first and second power modules, so as to make the heat exchange between the coolant and the second power module more complete. The inner bottom wall of the power module metal cooling channel has a left-end water outlet recessed groove near the left side wall and a right-end water inlet recessed groove near the right side wall. The heat dissipation water outlet and heat dissipation water inlet are respectively aligned and connected to the left-end water outlet recessed groove and the right-end water inlet recessed groove, further slowing down the flow rate of the coolant in the hollow rectangular cavity structure of the power module metal cooling channel and increasing the heat exchange time between the coolant and the first and second power modules.
[0013] The inner pipe walls of both the heat dissipation outlet and the heat dissipation inlet are two-stage stepped inner pipe wall structures with a larger inner diameter at the outer end and a smaller inner diameter at the inner end. This design of the inner pipe wall structure of the heat dissipation outlet and the heat dissipation inlet can increase the flow velocity at the pipe opening, enhance the heat dissipation effect, generate local throttling, build up pressure, prevent cavitation / air blockage, adapt to interface size, and reduce the risk of leakage.
[0014] The upper end face of the metal heat dissipation channel of the power module at the outer edge of the first power module fitting port and the second power module fitting port is respectively provided with annular connecting protrusions. Each annular connecting protrusion has a sealing ring groove circumferentially provided on the upper end face of its upper end face. The first power module and the second power module are aligned and matched and placed into the first power module fitting port and the second power module fitting port and accommodated in the cavity of the metal heat dissipation channel of the power module. The first power module and the second power module are aligned, limited and fixed at the upper end face of the annular connecting protrusion of the first power module fitting port and the annular connecting protrusion of the second power module fitting port, and are sealed and fixed by the sealing ring and the aligned sealing ring groove.
[0015] The power module's metal heat dissipation channel has horizontally extending injection molding connecting edges on both sides of its upper end face. The power module's metal heat dissipation channel is matched and set at the corresponding position of the injection molding base, and is fixedly connected to the injection molding base by injection molding through the injection molding connecting edges on both sides.
[0016] The lower end face of the power module metal heat dissipation channel has a rectangular heat dissipation groove on the outer edge of the bottom surface of the recessed rectangular groove corresponding to the two-stage stepped structure. The bottom of the rectangular heat dissipation groove is provided with a grid-like heat dissipation reinforcing rib. The left and right sides of the upper end face of the power module metal heat dissipation channel are also provided with the first mounting studs of the drive board. The left side of the upper end face of the power module metal heat dissipation channel is provided with the inverter brick positioning pin. The outer wall of the heat dissipation water inlet on the right side of the upper end face of the power module metal heat dissipation channel is horizontally extended with the inverter brick fixing point. Designing the positioning pin on the metal heat dissipation channel is beneficial to utilizing the dimensional accuracy after metal processing to ensure the installation accuracy of the inverter brick. The drive board and the inverter brick fixing point are distributed on the aluminum alloy heat dissipation channel and the injection molded base according to the projection position of the aluminum alloy heat dissipation channel and the injection molded base, and jointly undertake the installation and fixing task of the inverter brick and the drive board. The grid-like heat dissipation reinforcing rib is designed on the back of the power module metal heat dissipation channel. The power module metal heat dissipation channel and the injection molded base are not covered with plastic during injection molding, which can provide heat dissipation for the bus capacitor.
[0017] The injection-molded housing includes a mounting panel for the module and drive board, a bus capacitor housing, a filter housing, and positive and negative copper busbar mounting areas. The bus capacitor housing is located on the lower end face of the mounting panel for the module and drive board. The filter housing is located on the lower end face of the mounting panel for the module and drive board, adjacent to the right side wall of the bus capacitor housing. The positive and negative copper busbar mounting areas are located on the right side of the upper end face of the mounting panel for the module and drive board. The negative copper busbar, the first positive copper busbar, and the second positive copper busbar are matched and fixed in the positive and negative copper busbar mounting areas. The upper end face of the power module metal heat dissipation channel is injection-molded and embedded in the upper end face of the mounting panel for the module and drive board. The rectangular cavity structure at the lower part of the power module metal heat dissipation channel is housed within the bus capacitor housing. The end of the heat dissipation outlet pipe at the left end of the power module metal heat dissipation channel is exposed on the bus capacitor housing. On the left side wall of the line capacitor casing, the outer circumferential outer wall of the heat dissipation inlet of the power module metal heat dissipation channel is sandwiched between the aligned filter casing and the positive and negative copper busbar mounting area. The right end of the heat dissipation inlet is exposed on the right side wall of the bus capacitor casing. The lower end of the heat dissipation inlet has a protruding internally threaded cylinder corresponding to the position of the filter casing. The internally threaded cylinder is housed in the filter casing. The filter PCB board is tightened onto the internally threaded cylinder with bolts to form a ground connection. The injection-molded base is the basic part that fixes the aluminum alloy heat dissipation channel and other base sub-components (nuts, bushings, copper busbars) into a whole. Before injection molding, other components are pre-installed in the mold. After injection molding, the filter magnetic ring is then assembled and glued to fix it, thus completing the manufacturing process of the base.
[0018] The upper surface of the mounting panel of the module and the driver board is provided with a second mounting stud of the driver board along its circumferential edge. The first mounting stud of the driver board and the second mounting stud of the driver board together constitute the mounting stud of the driver board. The upper surface of the mounting panel of the module and the driver board is provided with a bus capacitor copper bus mounting hole. The overall housing of the bus capacitor is a rectangular cylindrical structure. The inner side wall of the bus capacitor housing, the lower surface of the mounting panel of the module and the driver board, and the lower surface of the metal heat dissipation channel of the power module together constitute the potting groove of the bus capacitor. The negative copper bus, the first positive copper bus, and the second positive copper bus are respectively limited and fixed in the positive and negative copper bus mounting areas. The positive and negative copper bus mounting areas are respectively injection molded to form a DC high voltage interface, a fuse mounting interface, and a DC high voltage output interface.
[0019] An inverter brick assembly includes a filter capacitor assembly, a bus capacitor, a first power module, a second power module, and a fuse. It also includes a highly integrated inverter brick base. The lower end of the injection-molded base has a filter magnetic ring mounting groove corresponding to the DC high-voltage interface position. The filter magnetic ring is housed in the groove and aligned with the copper pins of the negative copper busbar and the first positive copper busbar corresponding to the DC high-voltage interface. The PCB board of the filter capacitor assembly is bolted to the filter housing and connected to the internally threaded cylindrical heat sink of the power module via bolts to form a ground connection. The PCB board of the filter capacitor assembly is welded to the aligned copper pins of the negative and first positive copper busbars to complete the positive and negative connection. The components are in PCB board form. XY capacitors (safety capacitors) are soldered and fixed on the PCB board. Filter capacitors with different capacitance values and functions are soldered on the PCB board, which can be adjusted and matched according to electromagnetic compatibility requirements in actual use. The bus capacitor is housed in a bus capacitor potting groove and encapsulated with polyurethane (PU) potting compound. The copper busbars of the bus capacitors are exposed outside the mounting holes. The first power module and the second power module are respectively matched and embedded in the first power module fitting port and the second power module fitting port, and are sealed and fixed by bolts and aligned annular connecting convex rings. The fuse is electrically connected to the fuse mounting interface. Then, subsequent circuit board assembly and testing processes can be carried out.
