Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a circuit board and a motor structure, in particular to a printed circuit board component and a multi-phase motor using the component. Background Art

[0002] Usually, the automobile cooling fan motor controller adopts a single-board structure, that is, the control circuit and the power conversion circuit that converts DC power into AC power are arranged on the same printed circuit board (PCB). The copper layer on the printed circuit board carries a large current, and the power circuit has a great interference on the EMC of the control circuit. For the DC brushless motor of the automobile cooling fan with a power of 1kW or even higher, the working current of the motor and controller components is large, the heat is large, and the working temperature of the electronic components is high, which affects the reliability and life of the automobile cooling fan motor controller, and even causes the cooling fan to fail to work properly, which seriously affects the safety of people and vehicles. In order to ensure the normal operation of the controller, the heat generated in the controller printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) needs to be dissipated as soon as possible. The traditional method adopts measures such as expanding the area of ​​the printed circuit board and increasing the size of the radiator to solve the heat dissipation problem of the high-power automobile cooling fan motor controller, which will cause the cooling fan motor to be too large in size and too heavy, which runs counter to the current requirements of lightweight, environmental protection and strict longitudinal space restrictions on automobiles. Summary of the invention

[0003] The utility model provides a printed circuit board assembly with compact structure, good heat dissipation performance, low cost and good EMC performance, and a multi-phase motor using the assembly, which solves the technical problems existing in the prior art of large printed circuit board area, poor heat dissipation performance of the multi-phase motor, high cost and large EMC interference.

[0004] The above technical problems of the utility model are solved by the following technical solutions: a printed circuit board assembly, including a PCB board, on which electronic components and control circuits realizing power supply and signal processing functions are installed, and a plastic-coated bracket is also installed on the PCB board, and the plastic-coated bracket includes a power phase connecting piece, a U phase connecting piece, a V phase connecting piece, and a W phase connecting piece, and inductors and cylindrical capacitors are welded on the power phase connecting piece, and large currents are conducted by the plastic-coated bracket. The large current components such as inductors and cylindrical capacitors are installed on the plastic-coated bracket, so that the plastic-coated bracket plays the role of circuit conduction, carrying large currents and improving EMC. At the same time, the U phase connecting piece, the V phase connecting piece, and the W phase connecting piece are installed on the plastic-coated bracket, so that the connection points of the U phase, the V phase, and the W phase can be separated further, which is convenient for the arrangement of the remaining components on the PCB board and the arrangement of the circuit on the PCB board. The design of the plastic-coated bracket improves the original problem of connecting the power supply and ground wires on the PCB board, which requires a very wide copper sheet for connection, resulting in a large circuit board area. At the same time, it also improves the technical problem of the power current going around the PCB board for most of the circle, thus causing poor EMC performance.

[0005] Preferably, the power phase connecting piece includes a first power phase connecting piece and a second power phase connecting piece, and the U-phase connecting piece, the V-phase connecting piece and the W-phase connecting piece have the same shape, and the U-phase connecting piece, the V-phase connecting piece and the W-phase connecting piece are installed in a T-shape on the upper side of the first power phase connecting piece, and the connecting legs of the U-phase connecting piece, the V-phase connecting piece and the W-phase connecting piece are bent and fixed on the PCB board. The three-phase connecting pieces with T-shape leave more installation space for other components, facilitate wiring on the PCB board, and improve wiring flexibility. The three-phase connecting pieces of the plastic-coated bracket have the same shape and are unified into the same part, which reduces mold costs and the number of parts.

[0006] Preferably, an inductor and a cylindrical capacitor are installed on the side of the first power phase connecting piece, the inductor is welded in parallel on the plastic-coated bracket, the capacitor is located below the inductor, and the position of the PCB board corresponding to the inductor and the cylindrical capacitor is a blank space. One piece of the PCB board is omitted to accommodate the inductor and the cylindrical capacitor, making the overall volume smaller and the structure more compact.

[0007] Preferably, the plastic-coated bracket includes two layers of copper bars, a plastic spacer is arranged between the two layers of copper bars, wherein the upper copper bar includes a U-phase connecting plate, a V-phase connecting plate, a W-phase connecting plate and a first power phase connecting plate, and the lower copper bar includes an LS connecting plate, a GND connecting plate and a first power phase connecting plate. The plastic-coated bracket is made of sheet metal stamping and secondary injection molding, including a plurality of copper bars and a plastic spacer, the plastic spacer is used to isolate each copper bar, and the two layers of copper bars + the plastic spacer form a sandwich structure. The vertical height is small, and each connecting plate belongs to multiple circuits, so heat dissipation is achieved relatively well.

[0008] A multiphase motor includes the aforementioned printed circuit board assembly, a rear cover assembly is provided on one side of the printed circuit board assembly, a motor bracket is provided on the other side of the printed circuit board assembly, a stator assembly and a rotor assembly are installed on the other side of the motor bracket, a thermal conductive adhesive is provided between the rear cover assembly and the printed circuit board assembly, and a thermal conductive adhesive is provided between the motor bracket and the printed circuit board assembly. The thermal conductive adhesive is provided on both sides of the printed circuit board to improve the heat dissipation effect, thereby ensuring the service life and stability of the electronic components.

[0009] Preferably, the thermally conductive adhesive is distributed at the position of the plastic-coated bracket and the positions of the inductor and cylindrical capacitor, so as to dissipate heat for high-power components and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0010] Preferably, the thermal conductive adhesive between the rear cover assembly and the printed circuit board assembly is coated on the plastic-coated bracket, the inductor and the cylindrical capacitor. The PCB board heatsink transfers the heat from the plastic-coated bracket to the rear cover, improving the heat dissipation effect, and it is more convenient to coat the thermal conductive adhesive between the plastic-coated brackets.

[0011] Preferably, a thermally conductive adhesive is provided between the motor bracket and the printed circuit board assembly and coated on the motor bracket.

[0012] Therefore, the utility model of a printed circuit board assembly and a multi-phase motor using the assembly have the following advantages: a plastic-coated copper bar bracket is installed on the PCB board, and each connecting piece on the copper bar bracket is connected to a different circuit respectively, which is convenient for arranging other components on the PCB board, and at the same time, a large current is conducted between the plastic coatings, which reduces the difficulty of routing the PCB board, reduces the size of the PCB board, reduces the cost, and ensures the EMC performance. At the same time, a compact and small PCB board is installed on the multi-phase motor, and thermal conductive glue is installed on both sides of the PCB board to improve the heat dissipation effect and ensure the stability of the multi-phase motor.
