Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor technology, and in particular to the stacked busbar of a high-power two-level inverter. Background Technology
[0002] The busbar in a motor drive system is a crucial component for the system's normal operation. The power module of the drive system connects to cables via output connectors, collects current onto the busbar, and then distributes it to different motors. Currently, the commonly used busbars in motor drive systems are typically of a constant cross-section structure, suitable for low-power motor drive systems. However, to meet current carrying requirements, the constant cross-section structure requires a large amount of metal material, resulting in high cost and low material utilization. Furthermore, in high-power electric drive systems, this type of busbar may exhibit insufficient current carrying capacity, severely impacting the system's stability and reliability. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the busbar structure commonly used in high-power electric drive systems and motor drive systems, which is usually of equal cross-section, the equal cross-section structure requires a large amount of metal material, resulting in high cost and low material utilization. Furthermore, the busbar structure of this type may have insufficient current carrying capacity. One of the purposes of this utility model is to provide a stacked busbar for high-power two-level inverters.
[0004] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a high-power two-level inverter stacked busbar, comprising a stacked busbar: the stacked busbar consists of a first insulating layer, a connecting busbar, a second insulating layer, a third insulating layer, a positive busbar, a fourth insulating layer, a fifth insulating layer, a negative busbar, and a sixth insulating layer stacked from top to bottom; the connecting busbar is composed of U-phase connecting copper busbars, V-phase connecting copper busbars, W-phase connecting copper busbars, and insulating layers connected between the U-phase connecting copper busbars, the V-phase connecting copper busbars, and the W-phase connecting copper busbars; the positive busbar... The upper surfaces of the busbar and the negative busbar are respectively provided with positive and negative terminal connection holes. The stacked busbar is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply in the high-power motor drive system through the positive and negative terminal connection holes, respectively. The upper surfaces of the U-phase connecting copper busbar, the V-phase connecting copper busbar, and the W-phase connecting copper busbar are respectively provided with first, second, and third terminal connection holes. The stacked busbar is connected to the three phases (UVW) of the motor in the high-power motor drive system through the first, second, and third terminal connection holes, respectively. This facilitates the parallel connection of multiple power devices in a confined space, thereby reducing circulating current loops, improving space utilization, and meeting different usage requirements.

The stacked busbar is connected to the power devices in the high-power motor drive system through the first connection hole, the square holes, the second connection hole, and bolts. This facilitates the installation of power devices on the stacked busbar.
[0007] According to the high-power two-level inverter stacked busbar, the power connection side of the positive busbar has a first inner ring connection hole and a first outer ring connection hole arranged in a linear array, while the power connection side of the negative busbar has a second outer ring connection hole and a second inner ring connection hole arranged in a linear array. This facilitates connection to the power supply of the high-power motor drive system through the positive and negative connection holes, thereby allowing current to converge onto the stacked busbar.
[0008] According to the high-power two-level inverter stacked busbar, the positive busbar has a first square connection hole arranged in a linear array on the motor connection side, and a third inner ring connection hole and a third outer ring connection hole arranged in a rectangular array on the side of the positive busbar closest to the first square connection hole. This facilitates the installation of the positive busbar with other components of the stacked busbar.
[0009] According to the high-power two-level inverter stacked busbar, the negative busbar has a second square connection hole arranged in a linear array on the motor connection side, and the positive busbar has a fourth inner ring connection hole and a fourth outer ring connection hole arranged in a rectangular array on the side near the second square connection hole. This facilitates the installation of the negative busbar with other components of the stacked busbar.
[0010] According to the high-power two-level inverter stacked busbar, the upper surfaces of the U-phase connecting copper busbar, the V-phase connecting copper busbar, and the W-phase connecting copper busbar are all equally spaced with fifth inner ring connecting holes and fifth outer ring connecting holes. This facilitates the connection and installation of other components on the stacked busbar.
[0011] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this stacked busbar features a multi-layer design, enabling the electric drive system to achieve more connections in a smaller space. This reduces connection points between different electrical devices, improves space utilization, and avoids material waste. Furthermore, the power device isolation and insulation design allows for the parallel connection of multiple power devices, reducing redundant circulating current loops, enhancing current sharing, and improving current carrying capacity, thus meeting the needs of high-power electric drive systems.

The connecting busbar L2 is composed of U-phase connecting copper busbar 21, V-phase connecting copper busbar 22, W-phase connecting copper busbar 23, and insulating layers connected between the U-phase connecting copper busbar 21, V-phase connecting copper busbar 22, and W-phase connecting copper busbar 23. The positive busbar L5 and the negative busbar L8 are connected by an insulating layer. The upper surface of bus 8 is provided with a positive terminal hole 501 and a negative terminal hole 801 respectively. The stacked busbar 100 is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply in the high-power motor drive system through the positive terminal hole 501 and the negative terminal hole 801 respectively. The upper surfaces of the U-phase connecting copper busbar 21, V-phase connecting copper busbar 22 and W-phase connecting copper busbar 23 are provided with a first terminal hole 201, a second terminal hole 202 and a third terminal hole 203 respectively. The stacked busbar 100 is connected to the three phases of the motor UVW in the high-power motor drive system through the first terminal hole 201, the second terminal hole 202 and the third terminal hole 203 respectively.
[0024] This configuration allows multiple power devices to be installed in parallel via the stacked busbar 100, thereby reducing unnecessary circulating current loops, enhancing current sharing, and improving current carrying capacity, thus meeting the needs of high-power electric drive systems.
[0025] The first insulating layer L1, the second insulating layer L3, the third insulating layer L4, the fourth insulating layer L6, the fifth insulating layer L7, and the sixth insulating layer L9 are all formed by insulating media. A first connecting hole 101 is formed in a rectangular array on one side of the upper surface of the stacked busbar 100. Square holes 401 are equidistantly formed on one side of the upper surface of the stacked busbar 100. Second connecting holes 402 are equidistantly formed on one side of the upper surface of the stacked busbar 100. The stacked busbar 100 is connected to the power devices in the high-power motor drive system through the first connecting holes 101, square holes 401, second connecting holes 402, and bolts. The power connection side of the positive busbar L5 has a first inner ring connecting hole 502 and a first outer ring connecting hole 503 arranged in a linear array. The power connection side of the negative busbar L8 has a linear array... The second outer ring connection hole 802 and the second inner ring connection hole 803 are arranged in an alternating pattern. The motor connection side of the positive busbar L5 has a first square connection hole 504 in a linear array. The side of the positive busbar L5 near the first square connection hole 504 has a third inner ring connection hole 505 and a third outer ring connection hole 506 in a rectangular array.

The size of the connecting holes at the same connection position on different layers of busbars may not be the same. For example, the first outer ring connecting hole 503 on the positive busbar L5 and the second inner ring connecting hole 803 on the negative busbar L8. By adjusting the connection position of the same connecting hole and cooperating with bolts, different busbars and different power devices can be connected. This allows the electric drive system to complete the connection of multiple power devices in a small space through the stacked busbar 100, improving space utilization, reducing material waste, and thus achieving the parallel connection effect of multiple power devices to meet different usage requirements.
