Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle controller technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation device for the power tube of an electric vehicle controller. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of the electric vehicle controller is to control the starting, running, forward and reverse movement, speed, and stopping of the electric vehicle's motor, as well as to manage other electronic components of the electric vehicle. It is the core control device of the electric vehicle, equivalent to its "brain," responsible for coordinating and controlling various operations.
[0003] The most serious heat-generating component inside an electric vehicle controller is the power transistor. To prevent the power transistor from affecting other electronic components, it is usually mounted vertically at one end of the circuit board. Existing electric vehicle controllers mainly dissipate heat through heat sinks on the outside of the casing, but the heat dissipation effect is not ideal, which makes the power transistor easily damaged due to high temperature. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the deficiencies in the prior art by providing a heat dissipation device for the power tube of an electric vehicle controller.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A heat dissipation device for a power transistor in an electric vehicle controller includes a base, an outer casing, end caps, pressure screws, contact seats, and a circuit board assembly. The outer casing is mounted on the upper surface of the base, the end caps are fixedly mounted to both ends of the outer casing, the pressure screws are threadedly connected to the outer casing, the contact seats are snapped into the inner side of the outer casing, and the circuit board assembly is mounted on the upper surface of the base. The circuit board assembly includes a circuit board base, a heat-conducting seat, a contact plate, a power transistor, and a pressure cover. The circuit board base is fixedly mounted to the base, the power transistor is mounted inside one side of the circuit board base, the heat-conducting seat is snapped into the outer side of the circuit board base, the contact plate is fixedly connected to the heat-conducting seat, and the pressure cover is snapped into the inner side of the circuit board base.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a heat sink is provided on the surface of the outer casing, a heat conduction sheet is provided on the outer side of the contact seat, the heat conduction sheet on the outer side of the contact seat is snapped into the heat sink of the outer casing, and a slot is provided on one side of the outer casing to cooperate with the contact seat and its outer heat conduction sheet.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the pressure screw penetrates and extends into the interior of one side of the outer casing, and its end contacts the contact seat;
[0009] After installation, apply pressure to the contact seat using the pressure screws to push the contact seat inward until it is in contact with the heat-conducting plate. This allows the internal temperature to be effectively transferred to the contact seat, and then the heat is transferred to the outer casing through the contact seat. Finally, the heat is dissipated into the outside air through the heat sink on the surface of the outer casing.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the contact plate extends through and into the interior of one side of the circuit board base, and the circuit board base has an insertion hole that mates with the contact plate. The contact plate and the heat-conducting base are made of copper.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner side of the contact seat is in contact with the outer side of the heat-conducting seat;
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a slot is provided inside the inner side of the circuit board base to cooperate with the pressure cover. The pressure cover applies pressure to the contact plate to make it bend, and one side of the contact plate is squeezed and bent to fit against the outer surface of the power tube.
[0013] The pressure cover squeezes the contact plate, making it fit against the power transistor. This allows the copper contact plate to better absorb and conduct the heat generated by the power transistor, thus transferring and dissipating the heat into the air more quickly, achieving the effect of cooling the power transistor.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] During the installation of the electric vehicle controller, the power tube heat dissipation device applies pressure to the contact plate through a pressure cover, causing the copper contact plate to adhere to the surface of the power tube. This effectively absorbs and transfers the heat generated by the power tube, and further transfers the heat to the outer casing through the heat conduction seat and the contact seat. Finally, the heat is dissipated into the air through the heat sink on the surface of the outer casing, effectively improving the heat conduction and heat dissipation speed and extending the service life of the power tube.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 The electric vehicle controller power tube heat dissipation device shown includes a base 1, an outer shell 2, an end cap 3, a pressure screw 4, a contact seat 5, and a circuit board assembly 6. The outer shell 2 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1. The end cap 3 is installed and fixed to both ends of the outer shell 2. The pressure screw 4 is threadedly connected to the outer shell 2. The contact seat 5 is snapped into the inner side of the outer shell 2. The circuit board assembly 6 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1. The circuit board assembly 6 includes a circuit board base 61, a heat-conducting seat 62, a contact plate 63, a power tube 64, and a pressure cover 65. The circuit board base 61 is installed and fixed to the base 1. The power tube 64 is installed inside one side of the circuit board base 61. The heat-conducting seat 62 is snapped into the outer side of the circuit board base 61. The contact plate 63 is fixedly connected to the heat-conducting seat 62. The pressure cover 65 is snapped into the inner side of the circuit board base 61.
[0024] Specifically, the outer casing 2 has heat sinks on its surface, and the contact seat 5 has heat-conducting plates on its outer side. The heat-conducting plates on the outer side of the contact seat 5 are fitted into the heat sinks of the outer casing 2. A slot is provided inside one side of the outer casing 2 to cooperate with the contact seat 5 and its outer heat-conducting plates. One end of the pressure screw 4 passes through and extends into the inner side of the outer casing 2, and its end contacts the contact seat 5. One end of the contact plate 63 passes through and extends into the inner side of the circuit board base 61. A hole is provided on one side of the circuit board base 61 to cooperate with the contact plate 63. The contact plate 63 and the heat-conducting seat 62 are made of copper. The inner side of the contact seat 5 is in contact with the outer side of the heat-conducting seat 62. A slot is provided inside the inner side of the circuit board base 61 to cooperate with the pressure cover 65. The pressure cover 65 applies pressure to the contact plate 63 to make it bend. One side of the contact plate 63 is squeezed and bent to fit against the outer surface of the power tube 64.
[0025] In this embodiment, the power transistor 64 is first installed inside one side of the circuit board base 61. Then, the contact plate 63 is snapped into the socket on one side of the circuit board base 61. After the other electronic components on the surface of the circuit board base 61 are installed, the circuit board base 61 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1. Then, the pressure cover 65 is installed. After the pressure cover 65 is snapped into the slot inside one side of the circuit board base 61, the inside of the pressure cover 65 will squeeze the contact plate 63. The thin copper contact plate 63 is relatively soft. After being deformed by pressure, it will fit against the outside of the power transistor 64.
[0026] Furthermore, after installing the outer casing 2 and end cap 3, rotate the pressure screw 4. As the pressure screw 4 is screwed in, its end will push the contact seat 5 inward until the inner side of the contact seat 5 is in contact with the outer surface of the heat-conducting seat 62. In this way, after the power tube 64 generates heat, it will be absorbed by the contact plate 63 and quickly transferred to the heat-conducting seat 62. The heat-conducting seat 62 and the contact seat 5 are in contact over a large area, and the heat will be transferred to the contact seat 5. It will then be held in place by the heat-conducting sheet on the outside of the contact seat 5 into the heat sink on the outside of the outer casing 2. This allows the heat to be quickly dissipated through the heat sink on the outside of the outer casing 2, thereby achieving rapid heat dissipation, protecting the power tube 64, and effectively extending the service life of the controller.
