[0073] In a specific embodiment, the present application is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0074] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

The singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0076] It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein is merely a description of the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0077] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" described in the embodiments of the present application are described based on the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "on" or "under", it can not only be directly connected to the other element "on" or "under", but also be indirectly connected to the other element "on" or "under" through an intermediate element.
[0078] The embodiment of the present application provides a capacitor assembly 1, such as Figure 1 ,and Figure 2 As shown, the capacitor assembly 1 includes a housing 11, a copper bar 12 and a capacitor core 13. The housing 11 includes a receiving cavity 111, and the copper bar 12 includes a positive copper bar 121 and a negative copper bar 122. Figure 4 As shown, the capacitor core 13 is located between the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122 along the height direction. The positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122 are both provided with through holes 123, which are used to be filled with injection molding material 16 so that the capacitor core 13, the copper bar 12 and the housing 11 are fixed by the injection molding material 16.
[0079] When the capacitor core 13 and the positive and negative copper bars need to be encapsulated in the housing 11, the positive copper bar 121, the negative copper bar 122, and the capacitor core 13 are all placed in the accommodating cavity 111 of the housing 11, so that along the height direction of the capacitor core 13, the capacitor core 13 is located between the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122, and there is a gap between the capacitor core 13, the positive copper bar 121, and the negative copper bar 122 and the housing 11. When the liquid injection plastic 16 is poured and injected on the top of the housing 11, the injection plastic 16 can flow into the housing 11 along the gap. The accommodating cavity 111 is capable of filling the gaps between the capacitor core 13 and the housing 11, the gaps between the positive copper bar 121 and the housing 11, and the gaps between the negative copper bar 122 and the housing 11. The injection molding compound 16 can flow along the through holes 123 provided in the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122 into the gaps between the positive copper bar 121 and the capacitor core 13, and into the gaps between the negative copper bar 122 and the capacitor core 13, thereby filling the gaps between the positive copper bar 121 and the capacitor core 13, and into the gaps between the negative copper bar 122 and the capacitor core 13. After the injection molding compound 16 cools, it becomes solid, so that the capacitor core 13 and the positive and negative copper bars can be encapsulated in the housing 11, thereby improving the reliability of the capacitor assembly 1.
[0080] Therefore, through holes 123 are provided on the positive copper busbar 121 and the negative copper busbar 122 so that the liquid injection molding material 16 can flow into the gap between the positive and negative copper busbars, the capacitor core 13 and the shell 11, so as to reduce the generation of voids, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the various components of the capacitor assembly 1, and further beneficial to improving the electrical and mechanical properties of the capacitor assembly 1.
[0081] In addition, along the height direction of the capacitor core 13, the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122 are located on both sides of the capacitor core 13, which can reduce the risk of short circuit between the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122, and the capacitor core 13 can support the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122, thereby improving the reliability of the capacitor core 13 and the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122.
[0082] The copper bus 12 may be made of red copper, and the housing 11 may be made of injection molding material.
[0083] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 、 Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the positive copper busbar 121 includes a first body 1211 and a positive terminal 1213, the negative copper busbar 122 includes a second body 1221 and a negative terminal 1223, the capacitor core 13 is located between the first body 1211 and the second body 1221 in the height direction and is connected to the two, and the positive terminal 1213 and the negative terminal 1223 both extend out of the accommodating cavity 111.
[0084] The above-mentioned through hole 123 includes a first through hole 1231. The first body 1211 and the second body 1221 are both provided with a first through hole 1231. The first body 1211 and the capacitor core 13 are welded through the first through hole 1231 provided on the first body 1211, and the second body 1221 and the capacitor core 13 are welded through the first through hole 1231 provided on the second body 1221.
[0085] In this embodiment, the first body 1211 of the positive copper busbar 121 is welded to the upper surface of the capacitor core 13 through the first through-hole 1231, and the second body 1221 of the negative copper busbar 122 is welded to the lower surface of the capacitor core 13 through the first through-hole 1231. This allows the positive copper busbar 121 and the negative copper busbar 122 to be fixed to both sides of the capacitor core 13 along the height direction, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection between the capacitor core 13 and the positive and negative copper busbars. Furthermore, the first through-hole 1231 is provided in the first body 1211 and the second body 1221, allowing the injection molding material 16 to fill the gaps between the first body 1211 and the capacitor core 13, and between the second body 1221 and the capacitor core 13, through the first through-hole 1231, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the capacitor core 13 and the positive and negative copper busbars.
[0086] The positive terminal 1213 of the positive copper busbar 121 and the negative terminal 1223 of the negative copper busbar 122 are used to electrically connect the capacitor core 13 to the battery and the IGBT. Specifically, the positive terminal 1213 includes a first terminal 1213a and a second terminal 1213b. The first terminal 1213a is used to connect to the positive electrode of the battery, and the second terminal 1213b is used to connect to the positive electrode of the IGBT. The second terminal 1213b is provided on the first body 1211. The negative terminal 1223 includes a third terminal 1223a and a fourth terminal 1223b. The third terminal 1223a is used to connect to the negative electrode of the battery, and the fourth terminal 1223b is used to connect to the negative electrode of the IGBT. This electrically connects the capacitor core 13 connected to the positive and negative copper busbars to the battery and the IGBT.
[0087] In a possible implementation manner, the number of the second terminal 1213b and the fourth terminal 1223b may be determined according to the model of the IGBT. Generally, the number of the second terminal 1213b and the fourth terminal 1223b is one or three.
[0088] In one possible implementation, Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the side wall of the first through hole 1231 is provided with an extension portion 1231 a , and the capacitor core 13 and the copper busbar 12 are welded via the extension portion 1231 a .
[0089] In this embodiment, the first through hole 1231 is provided with an extension portion 1231a. During the injection process of the injection molding compound 16, the injection molding compound 16 can fill the first through hole 1231, thereby reducing the risk of separation of the extension portion 1231a from the capacitor core 13 and improving the reliability of the connection between the extension portion 1231a and the capacitor core 13. Furthermore, the extension portion 1231a extends along the width of the capacitor core 13, which increases the welding area between the extension portion 1231a and the capacitor core 13, thereby improving the reliability of the welding between the extension portion 1231a and the capacitor core 13, and further improving the reliability and stability of the welding between the positive and negative copper busbars and the capacitor core 13.
[0090] In one possible implementation, Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the positive copper busbar 121 further includes a third body 1212 vertically connected to the first body 1211, and the negative copper busbar 122 further includes a fourth body 1222 vertically connected to the second body 1221. Along the width direction of the capacitor core 13, the capacitor core 13 is located between the third body 1212 and the fourth body 1222.
[0091] The through hole 123 of the positive copper busbar 121 also includes a second through hole 1232, and the through hole 123 of the negative copper busbar 122 also includes a third through hole 1233 and a fourth through hole 1234. The second through hole 1232 is arranged at the connection between the first body 1211 and the third body 1212, the third through hole 1233 is arranged at the connection between the second body 1221 and the fourth body 1222, and the fourth through hole 1234 is arranged in the fourth body 1222.
[0092] In this embodiment, the first terminal 1213a is provided on the third body 1212 extending along the height direction of the capacitor assembly 1, which is conducive to increasing the area of the positive copper busbar 121, thereby facilitating heat dissipation. At the same time, since the third terminal 1223a and the fourth terminal 1223b are narrow in the length direction of the capacitor assembly 1, the third terminal 1223a and the fourth terminal 1223b are provided on the fourth body 1222 extending along the height direction of the capacitor assembly 1, thereby increasing the conductive area, that is, the size of the fourth body 1222 along the length direction of the capacitor assembly 1 is larger than the size of the third terminal 1223a and the fourth terminal 1223b directly provided on the second body 1221, and is conducive to reducing the size of the third terminal 1223a and the fourth terminal 1223b extending along the height direction, thereby facilitating reducing the loop impedance, so that the third terminal 1223a and the fourth terminal 1223b have good conductivity. In addition, the area of the negative copper busbar 122 is increased by the fourth body 1222, thereby facilitating heat dissipation. A certain gap should be provided between the third body 1212 and the fourth body 1222 along the height direction of the capacitor assembly 1 to reduce the risk of interference. While maintaining this certain gap, the size of the fourth body 1222 along the height direction of the capacitor assembly 1 can be appropriately increased, which is beneficial for further improving the conductivity and heat dissipation capabilities of the third terminal 1223a and the fourth terminal 1223b.
[0093] In addition, a gap may exist between the third body 1212 and the fourth body 1222 and the sidewall of the battery cell 13, and the third body 1212 and the fourth body 1222 act as a constraint on the capacitor core 13. The second through hole 1232 is provided at the connection between the first body 1211 and the third body 1212, so that the injection plastic 16 can fill the gap between the positive copper busbar 121 and the capacitor core 13 at the connection between the first body 1211 and the third body 1212 through the second through hole 1232. The injection plastic 16 can also flow into the gap between the third body 1212 and the sidewall of the battery cell 13 through the second through hole 1232, thereby reducing the risk of voids forming between the capacitor core 13 and the positive copper busbar 121. The third through hole 1233 is provided at the junction of the second body 1221 and the fourth body 1222, allowing the injection plastic 16 to fill the gap between the negative copper busbar 122 and the capacitor core 13 at the junction of the second body 1221 and the fourth body 1222 through the third through hole 1233. The injection plastic 16 can also flow into the gap between the fourth body 1222 and the side wall of the battery cell 13 through the third through hole 1233, thereby reducing the risk of voids forming between the capacitor core 13 and the negative copper busbar 122. Simultaneously, the fourth through hole 1234 is provided in the fourth body 1222, allowing the injection plastic 16 to further fill the gap between the fourth body 1222 and the side wall of the capacitor core 13 through the fourth through hole 1234, further reducing the risk of voids forming between the capacitor core 13 and the negative copper busbar 122 and improving the electrical and mechanical properties of the capacitor assembly 1.
[0094] The first body 1211 and the third body 1212 of the positive copper busbar 121 can be integrally formed by stamping and bending, and the second body 1221 and the fourth body 1222 of the negative copper busbar 122 can be integrally formed by stamping and bending.
[0095] In summary, through the through holes 123 located around the capacitor core 13, the injection plastic 16 can flow into the various gaps between the positive and negative copper bars and the capacitor core 13 in all directions, greatly improving the reliability of the injection plastic 16 filling the gaps, thereby greatly reducing the risk of voids forming between the capacitor core 13 and the positive and negative copper bars.
[0096] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the capacitor core 13 includes a plurality of core monomers 131 distributed along the length direction, and the first body 1211 and the second body 1221 are both provided with a plurality of first through holes 1231 distributed at intervals along the length direction, and each first through hole 1231 is used for welding with each core monomer 131.
[0097] In this embodiment, the capacitor core 13 has multiple core cells 131 along its length. The capacitor core 13 is installed in the housing 11 so that the multiple core cells 131 are all located within the housing 11. Compared with the traditional method of individually soldering multiple capacitor cells to a PCB board, the multiple core cells 131 of the present application are located within the housing 11, which can improve the integration level of the capacitor assembly 1. At the same time, the first body 1211 and the second body 1221 are both provided with multiple first through holes 1231 spaced apart along their length, so that the extension portion 1231a in each first through hole 1231 can be welded to each core cell 131, further improving the stability and reliability of the welding of the positive and negative copper busbars to each core cell 131.
[0098] In addition, the injection molding material 16 can flow into the gaps between the core monomers 131 through the through holes 123 , thereby reducing the risk of voids in the core monomers 131 and improving the electrical and mechanical properties of the capacitor core 13 .
[0099] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 11 is provided with a blocking portion 112 for separating adjacent positive terminals 1213 and negative terminals 1223 .
[0100] In this embodiment, the shell 11 is provided with a blocking portion 112 extending along the height direction of the capacitor core 13. The blocking portion 112 can separate the first terminal 1213a of the positive terminal 1213 and the third terminal 1223a of the negative terminal 1223, thereby reducing the risk of close creepage between the first terminal 1213a and the third terminal 1223a along the length direction of the capacitor core 13, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of the operation of the capacitor assembly 1.
[0101] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, along the width direction, an insulating paper 14 is provided between the positive copper busbar 121 and the negative copper busbar 122 .
[0102] In this embodiment, along the width direction of the capacitor core 13, the insulating paper 14 is used to separate the positive terminal 1213 of the positive copper busbar 121 and the negative terminal 1223 of the negative copper busbar 122, thereby reducing the risk of creepage between the positive terminal 1213 and the negative terminal 1223 along the width direction, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit in the capacitor assembly 1 and improving the safety of the capacitor assembly 1.
[0103] In addition, along the height direction of the capacitor core 13, the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122 are located on both sides of the capacitor core 13. Compared with the positive and negative copper bars being located on one side of the capacitor core 13, the amount of insulating paper 14 between the positive copper bar 121 and the negative copper bar 122 can be reduced, thereby reducing production costs and preventing the inconvenience caused by arranging larger insulating paper 14, thereby reducing assembly efficiency.
[0104] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the capacitor assembly further includes a heat sink 15 mounted on the housing 11 . The bottom wall of the housing 11 is provided with an opening 113 . The heat sink 15 dissipates heat through the opening 113 . An insulating paper 14 is provided between the heat sink 15 and the negative copper busbar 122 .
[0105] In this embodiment, the heat sink 15 can be a heat dissipation aluminum plate, and the heat dissipation aluminum plate has good thermal conductivity. The heat dissipation aluminum plate can dissipate heat through the opening 113, thereby reducing the temperature of the capacitor assembly 1 during operation, so as to improve the performance and service life of the capacitor assembly 1. At the same time, due to the good electrical conductivity of the heat dissipation aluminum plate, an insulating paper 14 is provided between the heat sink 15 and the negative copper bar 122 to further reduce the risk of the capacitor assembly 1 generating a short circuit, so as to improve the safety of the capacitor assembly 1. In addition, the negative copper bar 122 and the positive copper bar 121 are located on both sides of the capacitor core 13, that is, when the negative copper bar 122 is located at the bottom of the capacitor core 13, the negative copper bar 122 can dissipate heat by being arranged on the heat sink 15 at the bottom of the housing 11, thereby reducing the temperature of the negative copper bar 122 and improving the working stability of the capacitor core 13.
[0106] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 1111 is provided in the accommodating cavity 111 of the shell 11 to improve the strength of the shell 11 .
[0107] The embodiment of the present application provides a tool 2, such as Figure 8 As shown, the tooling 2 is used to fix the capacitor assembly 1 during the injection molding process. The tooling 2 includes a bracket 21 and a pressure plate 22. The bracket 21 is used to support the capacitor assembly 1. The capacitor assembly 1 is the capacitor assembly 1 in any of the above embodiments. The pressure plate 22 is installed on the bracket 21, and the pressure plate 22 can move toward or away from the bracket 21.
[0108] When the capacitor assembly 1 needs to be injection molded, the shell 11 of the capacitor assembly 1 is placed on the bracket 21 so that the shell 11 is fixed to the bracket 21, and then the pressure plate 22 is driven to move toward the capacitor assembly 1 so that the pressure plate 22 is pressed down on the positive and negative copper bars, and then the pressure plate 22 can be used to fix the copper bars 12 of the capacitor assembly 1, and then the liquid injection plastic 16 is poured and injected on the top of the capacitor assembly 1 to complete the injection molding, and then the pressure plate 22 moves away from the capacitor assembly 1 to remove the injection molded capacitor assembly 1. Therefore, the shell 11 can be fixed relative to the tooling 2 by the injection molding of the tooling 2, and the positive and negative copper bars are fixed relative to the tooling 2, and then the shell 11 can be fixed relative to the positive and negative copper bars, so as to improve the accuracy of the relative positions of the internal components of the capacitor assembly 1, so that the capacitor core 13 has good electrical and mechanical properties after injection molding, and is conducive to improving the injection molding efficiency.
[0109] The tooling 2 can be externally connected to a drive motor or a drive hydraulic cylinder so that the pressing plate 22 can move in the height direction relative to the bracket 21 .
[0110] In one possible implementation, Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the capacitor assembly 1 includes a mounting portion 114 . Along the height direction of the capacitor core 13 , the mounting portion 114 is provided with a protruding positioning column 1141 , and the bracket 21 is provided with a positioning hole 2121 that cooperates with the positioning column 1141 .
[0111] In this embodiment, the mounting portions 114 on both sides of the capacitor assembly 1 along the length direction are provided with positioning columns 1141, and the bracket 21 also includes a first positioning plate 211 distributed along the length direction. The positioning holes 2121 are provided on the first positioning plate 211. The positioning holes 2121 cooperate with the positioning columns 1141 to enable the shell 11 to be fixed to the tooling 2. At the same time, the positioning holes 2121 cooperate with the positioning columns 1141 to improve the accuracy of fixing the capacitor assembly 1 to the tooling 2, thereby improving the injection molding efficiency.
[0112] After the injection molding is completed, the capacitor assembly 1 is installed in the motor controller through the installation portion 114 .
[0113] In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the bracket 21 includes a protrusion 2111, the positive copper busbar 121 includes a positive terminal 1213, the negative copper busbar 122 includes a negative terminal 1223, and the positive terminal 1213 and the negative terminal 1223 both include a connecting hole 124, which can cooperate with the protrusion 2111 to position the positive terminal 1213 and the negative terminal 1223.
[0114] In this embodiment, the bracket 21 further includes a second positioning plate 212 distributed along the width direction, and the protrusion 2111 is provided on the second positioning plate 212. When the housing 11 is fixed to the tooling 2, the connection hole 124 can cooperate with the protrusion 2111, and then the pressure plate 22 can be pressed on the positive terminal 1213 and the negative terminal 1223 to limit the connection hole 124 and the protrusion 2111 to maintain a cooperative state, so that the positive and negative copper bars can be fixed relative to the tooling 2 during the injection molding process, and then the positive and negative copper bars can be fixed relative to the housing 11, thereby improving the accuracy of the relative positions of the internal components of the capacitor assembly 1, so that the capacitor core 13 has good electrical and mechanical properties after injection molding.
