Abstract
Description

[0002] New energy electric vehicles have developed rapidly in recent years and have the trend of gradually replacing traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, with characteristics such as economy, environmental protection, strong power, and smooth acceleration. Existing electric vehicles are controlled by a controller to output power to drive the vehicle forward, and the controller, as a component used in an electric vehicle, needs to have waterproof and dustproof characteristics.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the waterproof structure of a motor controller with the application number CN201721150865.1, the disclosed waterproof structure of the motor controller includes a controller housing and a terminal post. The terminal post is a multi-prismatic body, and further includes a waterproof ring with a through hole. The waterproof ring is sleeved on the terminal post, and the inner wall of the through hole is attached to the outer wall of the terminal post to form a sealing structure, and the waterproof ring is hermetically connected to the controller housing.
