[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0028] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 8The split shell motor controller of the utility model includes an upper cover 1, a film capacitor thermal pad 2, an IGBT sealing ring 3, an IGBT board 4, a PCBA board 5, a three-phase fixing seat 6, a three-phase fixing seat sealing ring 7, a rotating transformer wiring harness assembly 8, a water inlet 9, a controller housing 10, a low-voltage wiring harness assembly 11, a filter component 12, a film capacitor 13, a small cover plate 14, a water outlet 15, and a busbar 16.
[0029] The housing 10 is divided into a first area 10b and a second area 10c by a lower retaining wall 10a. The first area 10b is provided with a filter assembly 12. The controller upper cover 1 is provided with an upper retaining wall 1a which is parallel to and cross-staggered with the lower retaining wall 10a.
[0030] The lower retaining wall 10a is composed of a partition retaining wall 10a1 (two retaining walls) extending on the periphery of the low-voltage wiring harness assembly 11 and a straight retaining wall 10a2. The partition retaining wall 10a1 is used to separate the low-voltage wiring harness assembly 11 from the peripheral high-voltage devices (filter component 12 and film capacitor 13).
[0031] The second zone 10c of the controller housing is a partition structure in which the high-voltage current direction and the low-voltage current direction are parallel and arranged in parallel. A thin-film capacitor 13, an IGBT board 4, and a three-phase fixing seat 6 are arranged in sequence along the high-voltage current direction, and a low-voltage wiring assembly 11 and a resolver wiring harness assembly 8 are arranged along the low-voltage current direction, wherein the low-voltage wiring harness assembly 11 is arranged adjacent to the first zone 10b, and the resolver wiring harness assembly 8 and the three-phase fixing seat 6 are arranged side by side.
[0032] The PCBA board 5 is arranged on the top layer of the IGBT board 4. The PCBA board 5 is an integrated drive and control board, including a drive board area arranged along the direction of high-voltage current and a control board area arranged along the direction of low-voltage current. The drive board area circuit is electrically connected to the IGBT board, and the control board area circuit is electrically connected to the low-voltage wiring harness assembly 11 and the resolver wiring harness assembly 8.
[0033] On the entire controller housing, the high-voltage current flows through the busbar 16 - filter component 12 - film capacitor 13 - IGBT board 4 - three-phase fixing seat 6, and the low-voltage current flows through the low-voltage line assembly 11 - control board area of the PCBA board 5 - resolver harness assembly 8.
[0034] Since the high-voltage current and the low-voltage current are in a parallel partition structure, the intersection of high and low voltage paths is reduced, and the EMC performance of the motor controller is improved. Compared with the existing technology, the shielding plate is eliminated, the number of internal components and assembly processes of the controller are reduced, and the vibration resistance of the controller is improved.
[0035] A film capacitor thermal pad 2 is provided between the film capacitor 13 and the bottom wall of the controller housing 10 to enhance the heat dissipation effect of the film capacitor 13 .
[0036] The IGBT board 5 is located on the cooling pool 10d and the heat dissipation part (e.g., heat dissipation column array) of the IGBT board 5 extends into the coolant in the cooling pool 10d to dissipate a large amount of heat generated when the IGBT board 5 is working. An IGBT sealing element 7, such as a sealing ring, is provided between the IGBT boards 5 to prevent the coolant from entering the housing space outside the cooling pool.
[0037] The cooling pool 10d is integrally formed with the bottom wall of the controller housing 10, and a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel connected to the cooling pool are integrally formed in the bottom wall of the controller housing. The water inlet channel and the water outlet channel refer to the manufacturing method of the hydraulic valve body channel, so that the water inlet nozzle 9 and the water outlet 16 can be arranged at the specified position on the bottom wall or side wall of the housing.
[0038] The water inlet 9 and the water outlet 16 are arranged on the bottom surface of the controller housing 10. At the same time, the external copper busbar of the three-phase fixed seat 6, the low-voltage harness assembly 11 and the external plug / socket of the resolver harness assembly 8 are arranged on the bottom surface of the controller housing.
[0039] The assembly sequence of the motor controller is as follows: first fix the resolver harness assembly 8, the water inlet nozzle 9, and the low-voltage harness assembly 11 to the controller housing 10, fix the filter assembly 12 to the controller housing 10, assemble the film capacitor thermal pad 2 and the film capacitor 13 to the controller housing 10, assemble the IGBT seal ring 3 and the IGBT board 4 to the controller housing 10, assemble the three-phase fixed seat seal ring 7 and the three-phase fixed seat 6 to the controller housing 10, and then assemble the PCBA board 5 to the controller housing 10, and finally assemble the upper cover plate 1 and the small cover plate 14 in sequence. The above assembly sequence can be adjusted according to different schemes.
[0040] Since the controller cover 1 and the controller housing 10 are provided with retaining walls 1a and 10a1 inside, after the cover 1 and the housing 10 are assembled, the retaining walls are parallel, cross-staggered and structurally wrapped around the low-voltage harness assembly 11, reducing the interference of high-voltage signals outside and inside the controller, and cooperating with the high-low voltage partition of the PCBA to avoid the problem of high-low voltage crossover, further improving the EMC performance. Through this structural method, the shielding plate of the low-voltage harness assembly can be omitted, the number of internal components of the controller can be reduced, and the power density can be improved.
[0041] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
