The above definitions are only used to explain and illustrate the present disclosure and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0030] According to the specific embodiments provided by this disclosure, Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, a mounting bracket 10 is provided, which is used for an electronic control component and includes a mounting plate 100 and a module bracket 200. The mounting plate 100 is used to install the electronic control board 300 of the electronic control component, and the module bracket 200 is used to install the power module 400 of the electronic control component, wherein the mounting plate 100 and the module bracket 200 are integrally formed.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, in the mounting bracket provided by the present invention, the mounting plate 100 is used to install the electric control board 300 of the electric control component, and the module bracket 200 is used to install the power module 400 of the electric control component. Since the mounting plate 100 and the module bracket 200 are formed as one piece, the step of fixing the module bracket 200 on the mounting plate 100 is saved, and the number of parts of the electric control component is reduced. In this way, when the electric control component needs to be assembled, it is only necessary to install the electric control board 300 and the power module 400 on the mounting plate 100 in sequence, thereby reducing the assembly steps of the electric control component and thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the electric control component.

[0032] In the mounting bracket provided by the present disclosure, the module bracket 200 can be constructed in any suitable form to facilitate the installation of the power module 400 on the module bracket 200, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in , the mounting plate 100 has a first side 110 and a second side 120 relative to each other in its thickness direction. The first side 110 can be used to set the electric control board 300. The module bracket 200 can be recessed toward the first side 110 to form a receiving groove 210 with the mounting plate 100. The receiving groove 210 can be used to accommodate the power module 400. That is, the module bracket 200 forms a receiving groove 210 together with the mounting plate 100 on the first side 110 of the mounting plate 100, and the electric control board 300 is arranged on the second side 120 of the mounting plate 100, that is, the electric control board 300 and the power module 400 are respectively installed on both sides of the mounting plate 100, wherein the setting of the receiving groove 210 can provide an accommodating space for the power module 400, and at the same time can prevent the power module 400 from protruding from the surface of the second side 120 of the mounting plate 100 and affecting the installation of other electrical components of the electric control assembly (such as the heat sink 600). The thickness direction of the mounting plate 100 refers to Figure 3 The direction shown by L1.

[0033] In the mounting bracket provided in the present disclosure, the power module 400 can be arranged in the receiving groove 210 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in , the accommodating slot 210 may include a plurality of limiting slots 211 provided on the module bracket 200. The plurality of limiting slots 211 may be arranged along a preset direction. The power module 400 may include a plurality of first power devices 410. The limiting slots 211 at least provide limiting along the preset direction for the corresponding first power devices 410. In the present disclosure, the provision of the plurality of limiting slots 211 enables each first power device 410 to be arranged in the corresponding limiting slot 211. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to position and install the first power device 410, and at the same time, it can provide a certain limiting effect for the first power device. On the other hand, each first power device 410 is located in a different limiting slot 211, which can also ensure that the power modules 400 are insulated from each other, thereby improving the safety of the electronic control component.

[0034] In the mounting bracket provided in the present disclosure, the limiting groove 211 can be constructed in any suitable form, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown in , the module bracket 200 can be provided with two limiting ribs 2111 for enclosing each limiting groove 211. The two limiting ribs 2111 can be spaced apart along a preset direction, and the limiting ribs 2111 are used to abut against the first power device 410. In this way, the first power device 410 is arranged between the two limiting ribs 2111 and can be limited in the preset direction by abutting against the limiting ribs 2111. In the present disclosure, the limiting ribs 2111 include a plurality of limiting ribs 2111, and the plurality of limiting ribs 2111 are spaced apart along the preset direction, and every two limiting ribs 2111 enclose a limiting groove 211. In some other embodiments, the limiting ribs 2111 can also include a plurality of limiting ribs 2111, and the plurality of limiting ribs 2111 are spaced apart along the preset direction. A limiting groove 211 can be formed between any two adjacent limiting ribs 2111, so that the first power device 410 can be limited by abutment between any two adjacent limiting ribs 2111.

[0035] In addition, in some other embodiments, the limiting groove 211 can also be directly opened at the bottom of the accommodating groove 210, that is, the bottom portion of the accommodating groove 210 is recessed toward the electronic control board 300 to form a plurality of limiting grooves 211 isolated from each other. The first power device 410 is installed in the limiting groove 211 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 211, which can also realize the limitation of the power module 400 in the limiting groove 211. The present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to further improve the reliability of the first power module 400 being limited in the limiting groove 211, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown in , the module bracket 200 may also be provided with a first reinforcing rib 2112 for enclosing each limiting groove 211. A first reinforcing rib 2112 may be connected between two limiting ribs 2111. Thus, the provision of the first reinforcing rib 2112 can not only enhance the strength of the module bracket 200, but also limit the first power device 410 in the width direction of the mounting plate 100, thereby improving the reliability of the first power device 410 being retained within the limiting groove 211. Furthermore, the first reinforcing rib 2112 facilitates the installation and positioning of the first power device 410. Specifically, during installation, the first power device 410 is first abutted against the two limiting ribs 2111, and then pushed until it abuts against the first reinforcing rib 2112. This secures the installation position of the first power device 410, facilitating subsequent fastening of the first power device 410 to the module bracket 200 using fasteners.

[0037] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the first power device 410 in the limiting groove 211, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in , the limiting groove 211 may further include an opening 2114 disposed opposite the first reinforcing rib 2112. The opening 2114 is configured to accommodate the first power device 410 within the limiting groove 211. That is, when installing the first power device 410, a worker can push the first power device 410 into the limiting groove 211 through the opening 2114, thereby facilitating installation of the first power device 410 within the limiting groove 211. Furthermore, the provision of the opening 2114 enables the first power device 410 to be at least partially positioned outside the limiting groove 211, thereby facilitating the pins 430 of the first power device 410 to extend through the limiting groove 211 and electrically connect to the electronic control board 300.

[0038] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to further increase the strength of the module bracket 200, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 As shown in , a second reinforcing rib 2113 may be connected between two adjacent limiting ribs 2111 of two adjacent limiting slots 211. In the present disclosure, the limiting slots 211 are connected to through-holes 214 for the pins 430 of the power module 400 to pass through. The two ends of the second reinforcing rib 2113 may be respectively connected to the two adjacent limiting ribs 2111 of the two adjacent limiting slots 211, and the second reinforcing rib 2113 may extend into the through-holes 214. In this way, when the pins 430 of the power module 400 extend out of the limiting slots 211 and into the through-holes 214, the second reinforcing rib 2113 can also ensure that the pins 430 of the two adjacent power modules 400 are isolated from each other, thereby further ensuring insulation between the power modules 400 while strengthening the strength of the module bracket 200.

[0039] In the mounting bracket provided in the present disclosure, the first power device 410 can be fixed to the module bracket 200 in any suitable manner, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 5 As shown in , the module bracket 200 may be provided with a through-hole 212 that communicates with the limiting groove 211. The through-hole 212 is used to pass through a fastener, which is used to connect the first power device 410 and the electronic control board 300. In other words, when installing the first power device 410, the first power device 410 is first placed into the limiting groove 211 to achieve positioning of the installation position of the first power device 410. The fastener is then passed through the through-hole 212 into the limiting groove 211 to securely connect with the first power device 410, ultimately securing the first power device 410 to the module bracket 200. In other embodiments, the first power device 410 can be secured to the module bracket 200 in any suitable manner, such as welding, bonding, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0040] In the mounting bracket provided in the present disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 or Figure 5 As shown in FIG, the module bracket 200 may define a limiting opening 213. The power module 400 may include a first power device 410 and a second power device 420. The second power device 420 is larger than the first power device 410 and may be disposed in the limiting opening 213. Thus, the larger second power device 420 is mounted in the limiting opening 213, thereby preventing the larger second power device 420 from occupying a large space in the limiting groove 211. This, in turn, prevents the second power device 420 from being too close to the first power device 410, which could result in reduced insulation performance between the power modules 400.

[0041] In the mounting bracket provided by the present disclosure, the module bracket 200 can be constructed in any suitable manner to facilitate the electrical connection between the power module 400 and the electric control board 300, and the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 7As shown in FIG, the power module 400 includes pins 430 electrically connected to the electronic control board 300, and the module bracket 200 may be provided with through-holes 214 for the pins 430 to pass through. That is, the power module 400 is mounted on the second side 120 of the mounting plate 100, i.e., the second side 120 of the module bracket 200, while the electronic control board 300 is mounted on the first side 110 of the module bracket 200. The provision of the through-holes 214 enables the pins 430 of the power module 400 to extend from the second side 120 of the module bracket 200 through the through-holes 214 to the first side 110 of the module bracket 200, thereby facilitating the connection between the pins 430 and the electronic control board 300, thereby facilitating electrical connection between the power module 400 and the electronic control board 300. The pins 430 and the electronic control board 300 may be electrically connected by welding or other means, which is not specifically limited in this disclosure.

[0042] Based on the above technical solution, the present disclosure further provides an electronic control assembly, comprising an electronic control board 300, a power module 400, and the aforementioned mounting bracket 10. The electronic control board 300 and the power module 400 are mounted on the first side 110 and the second side 120 of the mounting plate 100, respectively, and the power module 400 is electrically connected to the electronic control board 300. The mounting plate 100 has all the technical features of the aforementioned mounting plate 100, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The electronic control assembly provided in the present disclosure generally further includes a heat sink 600. The heat sink 600 is disposed on the side of the mounting plate 100 where the power module 400 is disposed and abuts against the power module 400 to cool the power module 400. When assembling the electronic control assembly provided in the present disclosure, the power module 400 is first placed into the limiting groove 211 or the limiting opening 213. The heat sink 600 is then abutted against the power module 400 and fixed to the mounting plate 100. Thus, the heat sink 600, the limiting groove 211, and the limiting opening 213 work together to fix the installation position of the power module 400. At this time, the mounting plate 100 is flipped to the first side 110, and the power module 400 is fixed to the module bracket 200 by fasteners. Finally, the electronic control board 300 is fixed to the first side 110 of the mounting plate 100, and the pins 430 of the power module 400 are welded to the electronic control board 300, thereby completing the assembly of the electronic control assembly.
