[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] In order to solve the problems of unreasonable layout of power devices and unreasonable wiring of motor controllers in the prior art, the utility model provides a motor controller and an electric vehicle, wherein the electric vehicle includes a motor controller, and the motor controller is the motor controller described above and below.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the motor controller includes a circuit board 10, a plurality of power devices 20, a first copper busbar 30 and a second copper busbar 40, wherein the plurality of power devices 20 are arranged in a row in sequence along a first direction, and each power device 20 has at least one pin, so that each power device 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10 through the pin thereon; the first copper busbar 30 is extended along the first direction and arranged on the circuit board 10, and the first copper busbar 30 has a plurality of pins, each pin is respectively used to be electrically connected to the pins on each power device 20; the second copper busbar 40 is extended along the first direction and arranged on the circuit board 10, and is arranged adjacent to the first copper busbar 30, and the second copper busbar 40 has a plurality of pins, each pin is electrically connected to the circuit board 10.

[0027] By arranging a plurality of power devices 20 in a row in sequence along a first direction, and at the same time, extending a first copper bar 30 along the first direction and arranged on a circuit board 10, and extending a second copper bar 40 along the first direction and arranged on the circuit board 10 and arranged adjacent to the first copper bar 30, in this way, since a plurality of power devices 20, a first copper bar 30, and a second copper bar 40 are all arranged along the first direction, the compactness of the structure of the entire motor controller is ensured, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the motor controller. In addition, the pins of the first copper bar 30 are directly electrically connected to the pins of the power device 20, and the pins of the second copper bar 40 are directly electrically connected to the circuit board 10, which greatly shortens the power circuit of the motor controller. At the same time, no additional wiring is required through the circuit board 10, which is conducive to reducing the inductance of the motor controller and further improving the regularity of the motor controller.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the present application, the first copper bar 30 is a positive copper bar, and the second copper bar 40 is a negative copper bar. Of course, the first copper bar 30 may be a negative copper bar, and the second copper bar 40 may be a positive copper bar.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first copper bar 30 and the second copper bar 40 have at least a portion of overlapping area. In this way, the regularity of the overall layout of the motor controller is ensured, which is conducive to full use of space, thereby ensuring the compactness of the structure of the motor controller and facilitating the miniaturization design of the motor controller.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the dotted line frame A in the figure represents the overlapping area of ​​the first copper bar 30 and the second copper bar 40, the arrow B represents the first direction, and the arrow C represents the second direction.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the motor controller further includes a plurality of capacitor modules 50, which are arranged on the circuit board 10 and located on a side of the overlapping area away from the power device 20. In this way, the compactness of the overall layout of the motor controller is ensured.

[0032] It should be noted that in the present application, considering that other components are also arranged on the circuit board 10, in order to ensure that each component can fully utilize the space on the circuit board 10 and ensure the compactness of the structure of the motor controller, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the motor controller includes multiple groups of capacitor module groups, each group of capacitor module groups includes multiple capacitor modules 50, and each capacitor module 50 in at least one of the multiple capacitor module groups is in a vertical state, and / or each capacitor module 50 in at least one of the multiple capacitor module groups is in a horizontal state. In this way, by setting some capacitor modules 50 in a vertical state and setting another part of the capacitor modules 50 in a horizontal state, it is ensured that the space on the circuit board 10 is fully utilized, and the regularity of the motor controller can also be ensured.

[0033] It should be noted that in the present application, the number of capacitor modules 50 in the capacitor module group in a vertical state is equal to the number of capacitor modules 50 in the capacitor module group in a horizontal state. Of course, the number of capacitor modules 50 can be adjusted according to the performance requirements of the product.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the plurality of capacitor module groups include a vertical capacitor module group 61 and a horizontal capacitor module group 62, and the motor controller further includes a plurality of conductive pillars 70, which are sequentially arranged along a first direction on the circuit board 10, and the plurality of conductive pillars 70 and the plurality of power devices 20 are respectively located on both sides of the first copper bar 30 in a second direction, the vertical capacitor module group 61 is arranged close to the first copper bar 30, and the horizontal capacitor module group 62 is located on a side of the vertical capacitor module group 61 away from the first copper bar 30. In this way, the regularity of the layout on the entire circuit board 10 is ensured.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, at least one of the plurality of conductive pillars 70 is located on the side of the overlapping region away from the power device 20, and the plurality of capacitor modules 50 in the vertical capacitor module group 61 are evenly distributed on both sides of the conductive pillar 70. In this way, the space on the circuit board 10 is fully utilized.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the present application, the conductive column 70 has at least one pin on the side facing the circuit board 10, and the conductive column 70 is welded to the circuit board 10 through the pin. In this way, on the one hand, the conductive column 70 is welded to the circuit board 10 through the pin, which replaces the existing method of fixing the conductive column 70 to the circuit board 10 by screws, that is, the existing surface-to-surface contact method is changed to a welding method with multiple contact points, and the pin is located at the bottom of the conductive column 70, avoiding occupying a large space on the circuit board 10. In addition, if other components on the circuit board 10 are also fixed by welding, different components can also be welded simultaneously, reducing one process, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the motor controller. In addition, it can also avoid opening an assembly hole on the circuit board 10 (the existing method of fixing the conductive column 70 by screws requires opening an assembly hole on the circuit board 10).

[0037] Furthermore, the conductive column 70 has a first positioning protrusion on one side facing the circuit board 10 , and the circuit board 10 has a first positioning groove for cooperating with the first positioning protrusion at a position opposite to the first positioning protrusion. In this way, the first positioning protrusion plays a role in positioning the conductive column 70 .

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the motor controller further includes a terminal structure 80, which is extended along the first direction and arranged on the circuit board 10, and is located on the side of the horizontal capacitor module group 62 away from the power device 20, and the terminal structure 80 has at least one pin on the side facing the circuit board 10, and the terminal structure 80 is welded and connected to the circuit board 10 through the pin. In this way, it avoids occupying a large installation space on the circuit board 10, and can also ensure the regularity of the layout on the circuit board 10. In addition, it can also avoid opening an assembly hole on the circuit board 10 (the existing terminal structure 80 fixed by screws requires opening an assembly hole on the circuit board 10).

[0039] Furthermore, the terminal structure 80 has a second positioning protrusion on one side facing the circuit board 10 , and the circuit board 10 has a second positioning groove for cooperating with the second positioning protrusion at a position opposite to the second positioning protrusion. In this way, the second positioning protrusion plays a role in positioning the terminal structure 80 .

[0040] It should be noted that in the present application, the first positioning protrusion is made of metal material and can be welded to the circuit board 10, while the second positioning protrusion is made of non-metal material and is only used for positioning. Of course, the second positioning protrusion can also be set to a metal material and welded to the circuit board 10 in the same manner.
