Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of converters, and in particular to a water-resistant electric vehicle converter. Background Technology

[0002] The electric vehicle converter is a crucial component of an electric vehicle, responsible for converting the battery voltage into the operating voltage for the electrical appliances on the vehicle. It is the core control device for the electric vehicle's motor starting, running, forward and reverse movement, speed control, stopping, and other electronic devices. Therefore, protecting the converter from moisture damage is equivalent to protecting the "brain" of the electric vehicle and ensuring its normal operation.

[0003] Existing electric vehicle converters occasionally get water in when driving through water or parking in the rain, causing damage to the converter and preventing the electric vehicle from working properly. Therefore, it is necessary to design a water-resistant electric vehicle converter. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following describes a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a water-proof electric vehicle converter, which has an open housing 1 and a circuit board (not shown in the figure) installed in the housing 1. It also includes a sealing plate 2 for sealing the opening of the housing 1. The sealing plate 2 is fixed to the housing 1 by fasteners 3. A sealing strip 4 is provided on the sealing plate 2 to play a sealing role, effectively preventing rainwater from entering the housing 1 and ensuring that the circuit board can work normally.

[0023] Ear plates 5 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the opening of the housing 1. The sealing plate 2 has a top and a bottom. The top of the sealing plate 2 is located inside the upper ear plate 5 and contacts the inner wall of the housing 1. The bottom of the sealing plate 2 is located outside the lower ear plate 5 and contacts the bottom of the housing 1.

[0024] When installing the sealing plate 2, first insert the top of the sealing plate 2 into the housing 1, then fit the bottom of the sealing plate 2 against the ear plate 5 located below, and finally screw in the fastener 3 to fix it.

[0025] A limiting plate 6 is also fixedly connected to the top of the sealing plate 2, and the limiting plate 6 contacts the ear plate 5;

[0026] Most existing converters are equipped with wiring that extends out of the converter, but the interface between the converter wiring and the controller cable 9 still needs to be waterproofed. After a long period of use, the waterproof effect gradually deteriorates due to factors such as the aging of the waterproof tape. Therefore, this application uses a removable cover plate 2 to directly insert the controller cable 9 into the interface of the circuit board. After covering the cover plate 2, a seal can be achieved, which is safer than the existing method.

[0027] The top of the sealing plate 2 and the limiting plate 6 are both provided with clearance grooves 7 that cooperate with the cable 9. The ear plate 5 is provided with guide grooves 8 that cooperate with the cable 9. The limiting plate 6 and the top of the sealing plate 2 realize two water-blocking structures to prevent water from seeping in from the joint between the cable 9 and the sealing plate 2. In order to ensure a tight connection between the cable 9 and the sealing plate 2, the fastener 3 in this embodiment is a screw. The sealing plate 2 is provided with a threaded hole 11 that cooperates with the fastener 3. The housing 1 is provided with a threaded hole 12 that cooperates with the fastener 3. The threaded holes 11 and 12 are staggered and partially connected. In addition, the contact surface between the bottom of the housing 1 and the bottom of the sealing plate 2 is a slope 10. When the screw is screwed in, the sealing plate 2 will be displaced. When the screw is tightened, the bottom of the sealing plate 2 fits against the slope 10, and the limiting plate 6 abuts against the ear plate 5, thereby preventing water from seeping in from the joint between the cable 9 and the sealing plate 2.

[0028] In some other embodiments, heat dissipation fins are provided on the outside of the housing 1 to improve heat dissipation.

[0029] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
