[0062] Among them, the main positive circuit 2 is arranged in the shell 1, and the main positive circuit 2 is provided with a fuse 21 and a main positive relay 22 which are electrically connected in sequence.

[0063] It should be noted that the controller mainly includes a housing 1, a main positive circuit 2, a main negative circuit 3 and a heating circuit 4. The main positive circuit 2 and the main negative circuit 3 are the main channels responsible for power transmission. The main positive circuit 2 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery module, and the transmission and control of power are realized through the fuse 21 and the main positive relay 22. In addition, the electrical connection between the heating relay 41 and the main positive circuit 2 ensures that the heating system only operates when needed. Similarly, the main negative circuit 3 is connected to the negative electrode of the battery module, and the reflux control of power is completed through the shunt 31 and the main negative relay 32. In addition, the fuse 21 is set in the shell 1, and the main positive relay 22 is set in the middle of the shell 1, and the fuse 21 and the main positive relay 22 are spaced and arranged in parallel; the shunt 31 is set in the shell 1, and is separated from the fuse 21 on both sides of the shell 1, and the main negative relay 32 is located between the shunt 31 and the main positive relay 22; the heating relay 41 is located between the fuse 21 and the main positive relay 22. The positions of the components in the shell 1 are reasonably arranged, and the space is fully utilized, so that the entire controller has a compact structure and is easy to install and maintain.

[0064] The main positive circuit 2 in this embodiment also includes a positive terminal row 23, a first copper connection row 24, a second copper connection row 25 and a third copper connection row 26, wherein two first protrusions 11 are arranged in the shell 1, the first protrusions 11 are extended along the height direction of the shell 1, and the two first protrusions 11 are arranged opposite to each other at intervals; the positive terminal row 23 is arranged on one side of the length direction of the shell 1, and corresponds to the position of one of the first protrusions 11, and is perpendicular to each other; one end of the first copper connection row 24 is fixedly connected to the positive terminal row 23, and the other end corresponding to the fuse 21 is fixed to the first protrusion 11 by bolts; the second copper connection row 24 is fixedly connected to the positive terminal row 23, and the other end is fixed to the first protrusion 11 by bolts; One end of the copper bar 25 is fixed to another first protrusion 11 with the other end of the fuse 21 by bolts, and the other end of the second connecting copper bar 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the contact of the main positive relay 22 by bolts; the third connecting copper bar 26 has a first positive output end and a second positive output end, and the first positive output end and the second positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26 are respectively arranged on both sides of the length direction of the shell 1, and the second positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26 is arranged on the same side as the connecting positive end row 23; the first positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26 serves as the positive connection end of the PCM, and the second positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26 serves as the positive connection end of the ODP.

[0065] It should be noted that when the power supply is connected to the system, the current first enters the main positive circuit 2 by connecting the positive terminal bar 23, and the current is transmitted to the fuse 21 through the first connecting copper bus 24. The fuse 21 plays the role of overcurrent protection. Once excessive current or abnormal situation is detected, it will automatically disconnect the circuit to protect the safety of downstream equipment and the entire system. If the current passes through the fuse 21 normally, it will continue to be transmitted to the main positive relay 22 through the second connecting copper bus 25. The main positive relay 22 performs on-off operations according to the system control signal to control the further transmission of the current. Finally, the current is distributed through the two positive output terminals of the third connecting copper bus 26. The first positive output terminal serves as the positive connection terminal of the PCM; the second positive output terminal serves as the positive connection terminal of the ODP.

[0066] The main positive circuit 2 in this embodiment also includes a first fuse 27 and a fourth connecting copper bar 28, wherein the third connecting copper bar 26 also includes a third positive output end, and the third positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26 is located on the same side as the second positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26 and is vertically arranged, and is arranged toward the fuse 21 side; one end of the first fuse 27 is fixed on the third positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26, and is parallel to each other; one end of the fourth connecting copper bar 28 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first fuse 27, and the fourth connecting copper bar 28 is vertically arranged with the first fuse 27, the fourth connecting copper bar 28 is located between the fuse 21 and the main positive relay 22, and is arranged on the side of the second connecting copper bar 25 close to the bottom wall of the shell 1, and the other end of the fourth connecting copper bar 28 is arranged on the same side as the first positive output end of the third connecting copper bar 26; the other end of the fourth connecting copper bar 28 serves as the positive connection end of the PTC.

[0067] It should be noted that the current flows through the third positive output terminal of the third connecting copper bar 26 and the first fuse 27. The first fuse 27 serves as an additional overcurrent protection element and can melt when the current is abnormal to protect the PTC from overcurrent damage. If the current is normal, it will continue to be transmitted to the fourth connecting copper bar 28 through the first fuse 27, and finally provide electrical energy to the PTC through the other end of the fourth connecting copper bar 28. The fourth connecting copper bar 28 is located between the fuse 21 and the main positive relay 22, and is arranged close to the bottom wall of the shell 1. This setting can optimize the spatial layout while ensuring stable current transmission.

[0068] The present embodiment also includes a pre-charging circuit 5, which includes a pre-charging resistor 51 and a pre-charging relay 52, wherein the pre-charging resistor 51 is arranged in the shell 1, and is arranged on the side of the fuse 21 close to the bottom wall of the shell 1, and is parallel to the fuse 21, and one end of the pre-charging resistor 51 is electrically connected to the other end of the fuse 21 through a wiring harness; a first mounting groove 100 is opened on the bottom surface of the shell 1, and the first mounting groove 100 is located on the side of the pre-charging relay 52 away from the main positive relay 22; the pre-charging relay 52 is clamped in the first mounting groove 100, and one end of the contact of the pre-charging relay 52 is electrically connected to the other end of the pre-charging resistor 51, and the other end of the contact of the pre-charging relay 52 is electrically connected to the other end of the contact of the main positive relay 22 through a wiring harness.

[0069] It should be noted that the pre-charging circuit 5 is used to pre-charge the system at the initial stage of system power-on to protect the capacitors and other sensitive components in the system from large current shocks. Specifically, when the system is powered on, the pre-charging relay 52 is first controlled to close. At this time, the current flows from the fuse 21 of the main positive circuit 2 through the pre-charging resistor 51. Due to the existence of the pre-charging resistor 51, the current is limited to a smaller value, avoiding the large current shock at the moment of power-on. The pre-charging resistor 51 slowly charges the electric energy into the capacitor or other components that need to be pre-charged in the system; as the voltage of the capacitor or other components gradually increases, the system control circuit detects that the pre-charging process is completed, and then controls the pre-charging relay 52 to disconnect, and at the same time controls the main positive relay 22 to close. At this time, the current directly enters the main working part of the system through the main positive relay 22, and the system enters a normal working state. In addition, the pre-charging resistor 51 is located on the side of the fuse 21 close to the bottom wall of the shell 1, and is parallel to the fuse 21. This layout optimizes space utilization and makes the entire system more compact.

[0070] The heating circuit 4 in this embodiment also includes a fifth connecting copper bar 42, a second fuse 43 and a sixth connecting copper bar 44, wherein a second mounting groove 110 is provided on the bottom surface of the shell 1, the second mounting groove 110 is located between the fuse 21 and the main positive relay 22, the heating relay 41 is clamped in the second mounting groove 110, and the other end of the contact of the pre-charge relay 52 is electrically connected to one end of the contact of the heating relay 41; two second protrusions 12 are arranged in the shell 1, the two second protrusions 12 are arranged opposite to each other at an interval, and are located on the side of the first fuse 27 away from the third connecting copper bar 26, and are in the same straight line with the first fuse 27; the fifth One end of the connecting copper bar 42 and one end of the second fuse 43 are fixed to the second protrusion 12 by bolts, one end of the sixth connecting copper bar 44 and the other end of the second fuse 43 are fixed to another second protrusion 12 by bolts, the other ends of the fifth connecting copper bar 42 and the sixth connecting copper bar 44 both pass through the shell 1, and the other end of the contact of the heating relay 41 is electrically connected to the other end of the fifth connecting copper bar 42 through a wiring harness; the sixth connecting copper bar 44 is provided with an output part, and the output part of the sixth connecting copper bar 44 is located between the first fuse 27 and the second fuse 43, and the output part of the sixth connecting copper bar 44 serves as the positive connection end of the heating circuit 4.

[0071] It should be noted that the heating circuit 4 controls the on and off of the heating equipment to ensure that the system can perform heating operations when needed. When the system needs to start the heating function, the heating relay 41 is controlled to close. At this time, the current flows from the main positive circuit 2 into the heating circuit 4 through the contacts of the heating relay 41. The current first passes through the fifth connecting copper bus 42 and the second fuse 43. The second fuse 43 serves as an overcurrent protection element. It can melt when the current is abnormal to protect the equipment in the heating circuit 4 from damage. Subsequently, the current is transmitted through the sixth connecting copper bus 44 and finally flows out through the output part on the sixth connecting copper bus 44 to provide electrical energy for the heating equipment. The reasonable layout of the fifth connecting copper bus 42, the second fuse 43 and the sixth connecting copper bus 44 not only ensures the stable transmission of current, but also optimizes space utilization, making the system more compact.

[0073] It should be noted that the current enters the system from the negative terminal row 33, which is arranged on one side of the length direction of the shell 1, corresponding to the positive terminal row 23 and located on the same side. The current flows through the negative terminal row 33 and enters the shunt 31 through the seventh connecting copper bar 34. The current flows out from the other end of the shunt 31 and is connected to one end of the contact of the main negative relay 32 through the eighth connecting copper bar 35. When the main negative relay 32 is closed, the current can flow through its contact to the ninth connecting copper bar 36.
