[0029] In order to solve the problem that the motor controller in the prior art sets a control liquid cooling channel 211 on the shell, but the setting of the control liquid cooling channel 211 is relatively complicated, the layout of the water tank on the shell is increased, and in addition, the overall size of the motor controller is large, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the motor controller, the utility model provides a motor controller, a power system and an electric vehicle, wherein the power system includes a motor controller and a motor, the motor controller is connected to the motor control, and the motor controller is the motor controller mentioned above and below; the electric vehicle includes a power system, and the power system is the power system mentioned above and below.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the motor controller includes a shell and a movement, the shell has a accommodating cavity, a liquid inlet channel, and a liquid discharge channel; the movement is arranged in the accommodating cavity; the movement includes a capacitor assembly 10, a bridge tube assembly 20 and a guide structure 30, and the capacitor assembly 10 is arranged in the accommodating cavity; the bridge tube assembly 20 is arranged on the capacitor assembly 10, and the bridge tube assembly 20 has a liquid cooling channel 211; the guide structure 30 is arranged between the capacitor assembly 10 and the bridge tube assembly 20, and the guide structure 30 has a guide channel 31 and a guide inlet 32 and a guide outlet 33 connected to the guide channel 31, the guide channel 31 is connected to the liquid cooling channel 211, the guide inlet 32 is connected to the liquid inlet channel, and the guide outlet 33 is connected to the liquid discharge channel.
[0031] By applying the technical solution of the present invention, a guide structure 30 is set between the capacitor assembly 10 and the bridge tube assembly 20 of the movement. At the same time, the guide structure 30 has a guide channel 31 and a guide inlet 32 and a guide outlet 33 connected to the guide channel 31. The guide channel 31 is connected to the liquid cooling channel 211 of the bridge tube assembly 20, the guide inlet 32 is connected to the liquid inlet channel of the shell, and the guide outlet 33 is connected to the liquid discharge channel of the shell. Although a guide structure 30 is added, there is no need to layout a large number of water tanks on the shell, which fully utilizes the accommodating cavity space of the motor controller shell, improves the compactness of the overall structure, and is conducive to the miniaturized design of the motor controller.
[0032] It should be noted that in the present application, the diversion inlet 32 and the diversion outlet 33 are both located on the surface of the diversion structure 30 facing the capacitor assembly 10, and the upper surface of the capacitor assembly 10 is arranged away from the diversion inlet 32 and the diversion outlet 33.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the diversion inlet 32 and the diversion outlet 33 are located on the same side of the width direction of the diversion structure 30. In this way, it is only necessary to open the liquid inlet channel and the liquid discharge channel on the same side of the shell, without having to layout a large range of water channels on the shell.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bridge tube assembly 20 includes a plurality of liquid-cooling bridge bodies 21, which are spaced apart along the length of the flow guide structure 30. Each liquid-cooling bridge body 21 extends along the width of the flow guide structure 30, and each liquid-cooling bridge body 21 has a liquid-cooling channel 211. The flow guide structure 30 has a plurality of groups of communication ports 34 on a surface facing the bridge tube assembly 20. Each group of communication ports 34 includes two communication ports 34, and the two communication ports 34 in the same group of communication ports 34 are spaced apart along the width of the flow guide structure 30 and respectively communicate with the liquid-cooling inlet 2111 and outlet of the same liquid-cooling channel 211. This ensures that each liquid-cooling channel 211 can communicate with the flow guide channel 31, thereby ensuring reliable cooling of the power tubes 22, and further ensuring that the power tubes 22 can operate in a suitable environment, thereby ensuring reliable operation of the power tubes 22.
[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the guide channel 31 includes a first sub-channel 311, which extends a first preset distance L1 along the length direction of the guide structure 30 and is located on the first side of the width direction of the guide structure 30.

The first sub-channel 311 is connected to N connecting ports 34 located on the first side of the width direction of the guide structure 30, and each connecting port 34 is connected to the liquid cooling inlet 2111 of N corresponding liquid cooling channels 211; wherein, the first preset distance L1 and the length L of the guide structure 30 satisfy: L1<L / 2. The guide channel 31 also includes a second sub-channel 312, which extends a second preset distance L2 along the length direction of the guide structure 30 and is located on the second side of the width direction of the guide structure 30. The second sub-channel 312 has a first channel section 3121, and the first channel section 3121 is arranged opposite to the first sub-channel 311; the first channel section 3121 is connected to the liquid cooling outlet 2112 of the N liquid cooling channels 211 located on the second side of the width direction of the guide structure 30; wherein, the second preset distance L2 and the length L of the guide structure 30 satisfy: L2<L. The second sub-channel 312 also has a second channel section 3122, which is connected to the first channel section 3121, and the second channel section 3122 is connected to the liquid cooling inlet 2111 of the M liquid cooling channels 211 located on the second side of the width direction of the guide structure 30; the guide channel 31 also includes a third sub-channel 313, which extends a third preset distance L3 along the length direction of the guide structure 30 and is located on the first side of the width direction of the guide structure 30, the first end of the third sub-channel 313 is a closed end, and the second end of the third sub-channel 313 is connected to the guide outlet 33; wherein, the third sub-channel 313 is connected to the M connecting ports 34 located on the first side of the width direction of the guide structure 30, and each connecting port 34 is connected to the liquid cooling outlet 2112 of the M corresponding liquid cooling channels 211; the number of liquid cooling channels 211 Z=M+N. In this way, by dividing Z liquid cooling channels 211 into two groups, one group includes M liquid cooling channels 211, and the other group includes N liquid cooling channels 211, and the guide channel 31 is set to a structural form including a first sub-channel 311, a second sub-channel 312, and a third sub-channel 313, and the second sub-channel 312 is further set to include a first channel section 3121 and a second channel section 3122 that are connected, it is ensured that all liquid cooling channels 211 can be connected to the guide channel 31.
[0036] It should be noted that in this application, Figure 6 The horizontal arrows in represent the flow direction of the fluid in the guide channel 31 , and the vertical arrows represent the flow direction of the fluid in the liquid-cooling channel 211 .

The motor controller also includes a plurality of fasteners, each of which passes through a corresponding mounting hole 351 and connects to a support column on the housing. This ensures a reliable connection between the flow guide structure 30 and the housing.
[0038] In addition, in the present application, the sealing structure between the flow-guiding structure 30 and the housing is an axial seal.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the bridge tube assembly 20 includes a plurality of liquid-cooled bridge bodies 21, and the plurality of liquid-cooled bridge bodies 21 are spaced apart along the length direction of the guide structure 30, and each liquid-cooled bridge body 21 extends along the width direction of the guide structure 30, and each liquid-cooled bridge body 21 has a liquid-cooling channel 211; a plurality of power tubes 22 are provided on both sides of the width direction of each liquid-cooled bridge body 21, and a copper busbar structure 40 is provided on the upper surface of the side of each liquid-cooled bridge body 21 away from the guide structure 30. In this way, by arranging the copper busbar structure 40 on the upper surface of the liquid-cooled bridge body 21 away from the guide structure 30, it is avoided that the copper busbar structure 40 is arranged on the side of the liquid-cooled bridge body 21 and occupies the space between two adjacent liquid-cooled bridge bodies 21, that is, the distance in the lateral direction of the movement is shortened, making the lateral direction of the movement more compact (refer to Figure 1 ), making full use of the space in the height direction of the accommodating cavity to ensure the compactness of the overall structure of the motor controller.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the movement also includes a base plate 50, which is mounted on the bridge tube assembly 20. The copper busbar structure 40 is connected to the liquid-cooling bridge body 21 by riveting. Each copper busbar structure 40 is provided with a plurality of pins protruding in a direction away from the guide structure 30, each pin being electrically connected to the base plate 50. This ensures the reliability of the electrical connection between each copper busbar structure 40 and the base plate 50.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the movement also includes a protective cover 60 and a laminated busbar assembly 70, wherein the protective cover 60 is provided on the capacitor assembly 10 and accommodates all components in the space between the capacitor assembly 10 and the protective cover 60, thereby protecting all components; in addition, the laminated busbar assembly 70 is sandwiched between the layer where the copper busbar structure 40 is located and the substrate 50.
