[0001] The utility model relates to the field of current sensors, in particular to a three-phase current sensor for a motor controller. Background Art

[0002] The voltage platform of the motor controller for new energy vehicles tends to be high voltage, and the three-phase current of the motor also increases accordingly. The accuracy of the detection of the three-phase copper busbar current of the motor determines the stability and safety of driving. At present, the mainstream method for detecting the three-phase copper busbar current is the Hall solution, which has the characteristics of low loss, self-isolation, and low cost. It mainly improves the accuracy of detection by magnetic core magnetic concentration. However, the Hall chip is highly sensitive to temperature, so the numerical difference of the same current detected by the Hall chip under high and low temperature conditions is large. At the same time, the accuracy of the Hall chip for large current detection is relatively low, which is less and less suitable for the motor controller of new energy vehicles with increasing three-phase current. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a three-phase current sensor for a motor controller to address the corresponding deficiencies of the prior art. The three-phase current sensor for a motor controller can improve the accuracy of the motor controller in detecting large currents, the consistency of measurement under high and low temperature conditions, and has good anti-interference ability and superior performance.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved by adopting the following scheme: a three-phase current sensor for a motor controller, comprising a shell and a circuit board, wherein the shell is provided with three copper bar jacks, and each copper bar jack is respectively provided with a U-shaped block for shielding external magnetic field interference, the lower part of the U-shaped block is fixed in the shell, the U-shaped block opens upward, and two side arms extend out of the shell, and the upper end is fixed to the circuit board, the copper bar jack is located in the opening of the U-shaped block, and a plurality of welding pins are respectively provided at the upper end of the copper bar jack, and the welding pins extend upward and are welded with the circuit of the circuit board, and three TMR chips are welded and fixed at the lower end of the circuit board, and each TMR chip is located in the opening of the U-shaped block, and three wiring seats for grounding are welded and fixed at the lower end of the circuit board, and each wiring seat contacts the corresponding U-shaped block, and three copper bar fixing arms are arranged at the lower part of the shell, and the three copper bar fixing arms are respectively located below the three copper bar jacks, and each copper bar fixing arm is provided with a fixing nut.

[0005] The circuit board is provided with four mounting holes for mounting U-shaped blocks and via holes for soldering pins to pass through.

[0006] The U-shaped block is made by stacking a plurality of Permalloy pieces.

[0007] The U-shaped block and the shell are integrally injection molded.

[0008] The wiring seat is a copper wiring seat, and the wiring seat is contacted and connected with the U-shaped block through a spring sheet.

[0009] The welding pin is a copper welding pin, which is arranged on a welding pin column on the shell, and four welding pins are symmetrically arranged on the shell.

[0010] A positioning column is arranged on the shell in the middle of the welding pin.

[0011] The fixing nut is a copper nut, and the fixing nut and the housing are integrally injection molded.

[0012] The advantages of the utility model are: 1. The three-phase current sensor for the motor controller adopts TMR chip instead of Hall chip as the sensing unit. Due to the high sensitivity and good temperature stability of the TMR chip, the sensor can detect the large current of the motor controller and avoid the problem of low testing accuracy of the Hall current sensor under high temperature conditions.

[0013] 2. The U-shaped block made of Permalloy not only shields the interference of the external magnetic field on the chip, but also gathers the magnetic field generated by large current.
