[0023] Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the description is merely exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.
[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle electrical module 100 according to one embodiment of the present application comprises a housing 1, a vehicle charger and a cooling mount 3. The vehicle charger comprises a vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and can further comprise a vehicle charger control printed circuit board assembly 4 for controlling the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21. The main electronic components of the vehicle charger are provided on the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21. The cooling mount 3, as its name implies, is used for cooling and mounting the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21. The cooling mount 3 is detachably fixed to the housing 1. In the mounted state, the vehicle charger and the cooling mount 3 are located in the housing 1.
[0025] In the technical solution according to the present application, by providing the cooling mount 3 for cooling and mounting the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and detachably fixing the cooling mount 3 to the housing, after the gel between the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and the cooling mount 3 is cured, in the case that the vehicle electrical module 100 partially malfunctions (for example, found in detection or operation), the cooling mount 3 and the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 mounted thereon can be flexibly detached and discarded or reused according to the situation. For example, in the case that the electronic components of the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 malfunction, the cooling mount 3 and the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 mounted thereon can be detached and replaced with new ones; in the case that other parts of the vehicle electrical module 100 malfunction, the available cooling mount 3 and the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 mounted thereon can be detached. In this way, in the case that the vehicle electrical module 100 partially malfunctions, the entire vehicle electrical module 100 does not need to be discarded, thereby reducing costs.
[0026] In addition, the gel between the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and the cooling mount 3 needs to be cured under certain temperature or light conditions, which is often carried out in a specific process container. In the technical solution according to the present application, only the cooling mount 3 and the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 mounted thereon need to be placed in the process container for curing the gel, without the need to place the entire housing, which can significantly reduce the size of the required process container.
[0027] The vehicle electrical module 100 can comprise one or more of the following: a control printed circuit board assembly 4, a direct current converter (DC-DC) main printed circuit board assembly 5, an insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6 (Mos Ims PCBA).
[0028] The control printed circuit board assembly 4 is used to control the direct current converter main printed circuit board assembly 5 and / or the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21. One control printed circuit board assembly can be configured for the direct current converter and the vehicle charger respectively, or one common control printed circuit board assembly can be configured for the direct current converter and the vehicle charger.
[0029] The vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 comprises a through-hole soldering element which is fixed to the cooling mount 3 by means of potting with a gel. Through-hole soldering elements generally generate a large amount of heat and need to be fixed well. In this way, the through-hole soldering element is both heat-conducting and fixed.
[0030] The cooling mount 3 is provided with a fixing hole, and the cooling mount 3 is fixed to the housing by means of a threaded connection passing through the fixing hole, so as to achieve detachable connection between the cooling mount 3 and the housing. Of course, the cooling mount 3 and the housing can also be connected in other ways.
[0031] The cooling mount 3 is provided with a cooling liquid passage, a cooling liquid inlet 31 for the inflow of cooling liquid, and a cooling liquid outlet 32 for the outflow of cooling liquid. The cooling liquid flows through the cooling liquid passage through the position of the electronic components to be cooled, directly or indirectly through a gel, to take away heat and play a cooling role. Further, the cooling liquid inlet 31 and the cooling liquid outlet 32 are respectively connected with the housing and sealed by rubber, and the housing is provided with a cooling liquid flow path, which together with the cooling liquid passage in the cooling mount 3 forms part of a cooling liquid circuit. Here, the cooling liquid inlet 31 and the cooling liquid outlet 32 can be functionally interchangeable.
[0032] The housing comprises a first space 11, and in the installed state, the vehicle charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 is located in the first space 11. The housing can also comprise other spaces different from the first space 11, in which an inverter and / or a power distributor are arranged.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the vehicle-mounted electrical module 100 further comprises a control printed circuit board assembly 4, a DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5 and an insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6, which form a separate unit. The control printed circuit board assembly 4 is used to control the DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5 and the vehicle-mounted charger main printed circuit board assembly 21. The cooling mount 3 is used to cool and mount the vehicle-mounted charger main printed circuit board assembly 21, the control printed circuit board assembly 4, the DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5 and the insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6.
[0034] The vehicle-mounted charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and the DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the cooling mount 3. Specifically, the vehicle-mounted charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 is arranged on the upper side of the cooling mount 3, and the DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5 is arranged on the lower side of the cooling mount 3. The cooling mount 3 is configured in a flat shape to facilitate cooling of the electronic components on the vehicle-mounted charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and the DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5.
[0035] The control printed circuit board assembly 4 and the insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6 are arranged on the other sides of the cooling mount 3, specifically the left and right sides. On the right side, the control printed circuit board assembly 4 is arranged outward, and the insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6 is arranged inward to facilitate cooling of the insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6. A metal bracket 7 is arranged between the control printed circuit board assembly 4 and the insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6 to support the control printed circuit board assembly 4 and shield interference signals to the control printed circuit board assembly 4.
[0036] By oppositely arranging the vehicle-mounted charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and the DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5 on both sides of the cooling mount 3, and arranging the control printed circuit board assembly 4 and the insulated metal substrate printed circuit board assembly 6 on the other sides of the cooling mount 3, the installation space of the cooling mount on each side can be effectively utilized, making the overall product structure more compact. In addition, by staggered arranging the through-hole solder elements on the vehicle-mounted charger main printed circuit board assembly 21 and the DC converter main printed circuit board assembly 5, the overall product occupies less space in the horizontal plane and is more compact.
[0037] The application also includes a vehicle with a vehicle-mounted electrical module according to any one or more of the preceding embodiments, which has the corresponding technical features and technical effects as described above, and thus will not be described here again.
