[0069] One aspect of this application is to provide a controller housing that facilitates device assembly, improves assembly efficiency, and can be used in electric drive systems with relatively small height dimensions.

[0070] Another aspect of this application is to provide an on-board motor controller having the aforementioned controller housing.

[0071] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the embodiments shown below do not limit the scope of the application as described in the claims. Additionally, the complete composition represented in the embodiments below is not limited to what is necessary as the solution to the application described in the claims. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the application are shown in the drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the illustration, this application discloses a controller housing including a lower controller housing 100 and a controller cover 200. The lower controller housing 100 includes a mounting cavity with an opening on one side. This mounting cavity includes a filter mounting area 106, a capacitor mounting area 104, a power module mounting area 103, an AC output copper busbar mounting area 101, and a low-voltage terminal mounting area 102, all arranged in a flat configuration. Specifically, no two of the filter mounting area 106, capacitor mounting area 104, power module mounting area 103, AC output copper busbar mounting area 101, and low-voltage terminal mounting area 102 are stacked in the height direction. It should be noted that the filter mounting area 106, capacitor mounting area 104, power module mounting area 103, AC output copper busbar mounting area 101, and low-voltage terminal mounting area 102 can be separated to form a filter mounting cavity, a capacitor mounting cavity, a power module mounting cavity, an AC output copper busbar mounting cavity, and a low-voltage terminal mounting cavity, respectively.

[0073] Those skilled in the art will understand that the filter mounting area 106 is used to mount filters, the capacitor mounting area 104 is used to mount capacitors, the power module mounting area 103 is used to mount power modules, the AC output copper busbar mounting area 101 is used to mount three-phase output copper busbars, and the low-voltage terminal mounting area 102 is used to mount low-voltage terminals. The low-voltage terminal mounting area 102 is used to isolate low-voltage terminals from common-mode inductors, which is beneficial for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).

[0074] The controller cover 200 is fixed to the lower housing 100 of the controller to seal the opening of the mounting cavity. The controller cover 200 can be fixed to the opening of the lower housing 100 of the controller using fasteners. A sealing ring can be installed at the joint between the two to achieve dust prevention. To facilitate the positioning of the controller cover 200 and the lower housing 100 of the controller, a cover positioning part 107 is provided on the lower housing 100 of the controller. The controller cover 200 is provided with a housing positioning part that mates with the cover positioning part 107. After the cover positioning part 107 and the housing positioning part are aligned, the fastener holes of the controller cover 200 and the lower housing 100 of the controller are aligned. A vent valve 400 can be installed on the side wall of the lower housing 100 of the controller.

[0075] The controller housing disclosed in this application has a lower housing 100 with a flatly arranged filter mounting area 106, a capacitor mounting area 104, a power module mounting area 103, an AC output copper busbar mounting area 101, and a low-voltage terminal mounting area 102. This allows the various components of the vehicle motor controller to be arranged flatly within the mounting cavities of the lower housing 100. Because the mounting areas are arranged flatly, AC / DC components and high / low voltage components can be arranged in separate cavities as needed, facilitating component assembly and improving assembly efficiency. The controller housing provided in this application adopts a flat design, which can accommodate more electric drive bridge structures with smaller height dimensions.

[0076] In one specific embodiment of this application, the filter mounting area 106, capacitor mounting area 104, power module mounting area 103, and AC output copper busbar mounting area 101 are arranged sequentially from the first side to the second side of the lower housing 100 of the controller. The filter mounting area 106 is a high-voltage DC area, and the AC output copper busbar mounting area 101 is a high-voltage AC area. It should be noted that the various mounting areas within the lower housing 100 of the controller can also be arranged in other ways, and those skilled in the art can design according to their needs.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, a high-voltage wiring harness interface 122 is provided on the side wall of the lower housing 100 of the controller. The high-voltage wiring harness interface 122 is used to assemble a high-voltage wiring harness, which is a wiring harness electrically connected to the filter installed in the filter mounting area 106. The high-voltage wiring harness electrically connected to the filter can extend into the filter mounting area 106 through the high-voltage wiring harness interface 122 and connect to the filter installed in the filter mounting area 106. The high-voltage wiring harness interface 122 can be opened on the side wall of the lower housing 100 of the controller and arranged adjacent to the wiring terminals of the filter.

[0078] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the high-voltage wiring harness, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, an assembly screw hole is provided on the controller cover 200, located in the area where the high-voltage wiring harness and the filter are connected. The assembly screw hole is used to assemble and disassemble the high-voltage wiring harness. Using a screwdriver or other operating tool, the high-voltage wiring harness can be assembled and disassembled on the filter by inserting it into the assembly screw hole without opening the controller cover 200. This makes wiring convenient, and saves on disassembly and assembly costs because the controller cover 200 does not need to be disassembled.

[0079] In addition, the assembly screw hole can be equipped with a sealing screw plug 601. That is, when the high-voltage wire harness does not need to be disassembled, the sealing screw plug 601 can seal the assembly screw hole, preventing dust from entering the mounting cavity through the assembly screw hole and affecting the service life and safety of the device. When the high-voltage wire harness needs to be disassembled, simply remove the sealing screw plug 601 to expose the assembly screw hole, allowing the use of tools to reach into the assembly screw hole for disassembly and assembly.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer side wall of the lower housing 100 of the controller is provided with a plurality of fixing seats 117. The fixing seats 117 have fastening holes to fix the lower housing 100 of the controller to the position to be fixed by fasteners. The number and position of the fixing seats 117 on the lower housing 100 of the controller are not limited. Those skilled in the art should select the setting position and number of fixing seats 117 according to the fixing requirements.

[0081] Since the installation of the controller housing at the installation location mainly relies on the fixing base 117, the strength of the fixing base 117 will affect the installation strength of the controller housing. Based on this, first reinforcing ribs connected to the outer side walls of the lower controller housing 100 can be provided on both sides of the fixing base 117. In this embodiment, by adding first reinforcing ribs that connect the lower controller housing 100 and the fixing base 117 respectively, the strength of the fixing base 117 can be increased, thereby improving the installation strength of the controller housing.

[0082] To facilitate the handling of the controller housing, in one specific embodiment of this application, a plurality of lifting lugs 116 are provided on the outer side wall of the lower controller housing 100. Since the weight of the controller housing acts on the lifting lugs 116 during hoisting, the connection strength between the lifting lugs 116 and the lower controller housing 100 will affect the hoisting safety. Therefore, in this embodiment, a second reinforcing rib connected to the outer side wall of the lower controller housing 100 can be provided at the base of the lifting lugs 116. By adding a second reinforcing rib connected to the lower controller housing 100 at the base of the lifting lugs 116 in this embodiment, the strength of the lifting lugs 116 can be increased, ensuring the hoisting safety of the controller housing.

[0083] To prevent the controller housing from tilting and to ensure it remains level during hoisting, in this embodiment, multiple lifting lugs 116 are provided on both opposite sides of the lower controller housing 100, and the lifting lugs 116 on each side are symmetrically arranged along the length of that side. For example... Figure 2 In the illustrated scheme, two lifting lugs 116 are provided on each of the two opposite sides of the lower housing 100 of the controller, that is, a total of four lifting lugs 116 are provided. The two lifting lugs 116 on any side are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of that side, that is, symmetrical along the centerline of the length direction.

[0084] In one specific embodiment of this application, the filter mounting area 106 is provided with a first filter positioning part 114, which is used to position and cooperate with a second filter positioning part on the filter. During filter installation, to determine the filter's installation position, the second filter positioning part on the filter can be aligned with the first filter positioning part 114, thereby positioning the filter in the corresponding position in the filter mounting area 106. Specifically, the first filter positioning part 114 can be a filter positioning cylinder, and the second filter positioning part can be a filter positioning hole that cooperates with the filter positioning cylinder. It should be noted that the first filter positioning part 114 can also be a filter positioning hole, and the second filter positioning part can be a filter positioning cylinder.

[0085] The filter mounting area 106 may also be provided with multiple filter fixing supports 115, which are used to cooperate with fasteners for fixing the filter. Since the filter fixing supports 115 need to cooperate with fasteners to fix the filter, the filter fixing supports 115 require high strength. Therefore, to improve the strength of the filter fixing supports 115, the filter fixing supports 115 have first reinforcing ribs 113. Specifically, each filter fixing support 115 may have multiple first reinforcing ribs 113 on its outer peripheral surface to increase the strength of the filter fixing supports 115.

[0086] The filter fixing support 115 has a first metal threaded sleeve, and the first metal threaded sleeve has a first threaded hole. In this embodiment, the first threaded hole that mates with the fastener is located in the first metal threaded sleeve, which can give the first threaded hole higher strength and prevent thread stripping. It should be noted that the filter fixing support 115 may also omit the first metal threaded sleeve and directly injection mold the first threaded hole onto the filter fixing support 115.

[0087] After aligning the second filter positioning part on the filter with the first filter positioning part 114, the fastener holes on the filter are aligned with the first screw holes. At this time, the fasteners can pass through the fastener holes on the filter and be locked onto the first screw holes to complete the fixing of the filter.

[0088] The capacitor mounting area 104 may also be provided with a first capacitor positioning part 111, which is used to position and cooperate with a second capacitor positioning part on the capacitor. During capacitor installation, to determine the capacitor's mounting position, the second capacitor positioning part on the capacitor can be aligned with the first capacitor positioning part 111, thereby positioning the capacitor in the corresponding position in the capacitor mounting area 104. Specifically, the first capacitor positioning part 111 can be a capacitor positioning cylinder, and the second capacitor positioning part can be a capacitor positioning hole that mates with the capacitor positioning cylinder. It should be noted that the first capacitor positioning part 111 can also be a capacitor positioning hole, and the second capacitor positioning part can be a capacitor positioning cylinder.

[0089] The capacitor mounting area 104 is provided with multiple capacitor fixing supports 112, which are used to cooperate with fasteners for fixing the capacitors. Since the capacitor fixing supports 112 need to cooperate with fasteners to fix the capacitors, the capacitor fixing supports 112 require high strength. Therefore, to improve the strength of the capacitor fixing supports 112, they have second reinforcing ribs. Specifically, each capacitor fixing support 112 may have multiple second reinforcing ribs on its outer peripheral surface to increase the strength of the capacitor fixing support 112.

[0090] The capacitor fixing support 112 has a second metal threaded sleeve, and the second metal threaded sleeve has a second threaded hole. In this embodiment, the second threaded hole, which mates with the fastener, is located on the second metal threaded sleeve, which can give the second threaded hole higher strength and prevent thread stripping. It should be noted that the capacitor fixing support 112 may also be provided without the second metal threaded sleeve, and the second threaded hole may be directly injection molded on the capacitor fixing support 112.

[0091] After aligning the second capacitor positioning part on the capacitor with the first capacitor positioning part 111, the fastener holes on the capacitor are aligned with the second screw holes. At this time, the fasteners can pass through the fastener holes on the capacitor and be locked onto the second screw holes to complete the fixing of the capacitor.

[0092] The bottom of the capacitor mounting area 104 may be provided with a capacitor mounting surface 105 for contacting the capacitor to dissipate heat from the capacitor; the capacitor mounting surface 105 is in contact with the capacitor, which increases the heat dissipation efficiency of the capacitor.

[0093] The power module mounting area 103 includes three power module mounting slots for mounting power modules. Each power module mounting slot is provided with a first power module positioning part 110, which is used to position and cooperate with a second power module positioning part on the power module. During installation, to determine the installation position of the power module, the second power module positioning part on the power module can be aligned with the first power module positioning part 110, thereby positioning the power module in the corresponding position within the power module mounting slot. Specifically, the first power module positioning part 110 can be a power module positioning cylinder, and the second power module positioning part can be a power module positioning hole that mates with the power module positioning cylinder. It should be noted that the first power module positioning part 110 can also be a power module positioning hole, and the second power module positioning part can be a power module positioning cylinder.

[0094] Both sides of the power module mounting area 103 are provided with circuit board fixing support parts 109. The circuit board fixing support parts 109 are used to cooperate with the fasteners for fixing the circuit board, which is the circuit board of the power module. The circuit board fixing support parts 109 have a third screw hole, and the circuit board has a fastener hole. The fastener passes through the fastener hole on the circuit board and is locked in the third screw hole to fix the circuit board.

[0095] The AC output copper busbar mounting area 101 is provided with multiple AC copper busbar fixing supports 108, which are used to cooperate with fasteners for fixing the AC output copper busbar. The AC copper busbar fixing support 108 has a fourth screw hole, and the AC output copper busbar has a fastener hole. The fastener passes through the fastener hole on the AC output copper busbar and is locked in the fourth screw hole to fix the AC output copper busbar.

[0096] like Figure 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of this application, the bottom of the lower housing 100 of the controller has radial reinforcing ribs 121. In this embodiment, by adding radial reinforcing ribs 121 to the bottom of the lower housing 100 of the controller, the strength of the lower housing 100 of the controller can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle motor controller in a vibration environment.

[0097] The AC output copper busbar mounting area 101 has an AC copper busbar output interface 120 that extends through the bottom of the lower housing 100 of the controller. The output end of the AC output copper busbar extends out of the controller housing through the AC copper busbar output interface 120 and connects to other equipment (such as a motor). It should be noted that a sealing ring can be provided between the AC output copper busbar and the inner wall of the AC copper busbar output interface 120 to prevent dust from entering the housing.

[0098] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in a specific embodiment of this application, the lower housing 100 of the controller has a heat dissipation medium channel. One end of the heat dissipation medium channel is connected to an inlet pipe 501, and the other end is connected to an outlet pipe 502. The heat dissipation medium enters the heat dissipation medium channel through the inlet pipe 501, exchanges heat with the components inside the controller housing, and is discharged through the outlet pipe 502. The heat dissipation medium circulates within the heat dissipation medium channel, continuously carrying away heat from the components to achieve the purpose of heat dissipation. The heat dissipation medium can be a commonly used heat dissipation medium in the prior art, such as water, oil, or refrigerant.

[0099] Because capacitors and power modules generate significant heat, the heat dissipation medium channels can include sidewall channels and power module heat dissipation channels located in the power module mounting area 103. The sidewall channels are located on one side of the capacitor mounting area 104 and contain heat dissipation pins 119. These sidewall channels are open channels, with the open side sealed by a side sealing plate 300. An outlet pipe 502 is mounted on the side sealing plate 300. The heat dissipation pins 119 increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the sidewall channels, improving heat exchange efficiency. Since the sidewall channels are located on one side of the capacitor, heat from the capacitor can be transferred to the heat dissipation pins 119, causing their temperature to rise. When the heat dissipation medium flows through the sidewall channels, it exchanges heat with the heat dissipation pins 119 within the channels, carrying away the heat from the pins and thus reducing the capacitor temperature.

[0100] The side sealing plate 300 is fixed to the opening side of the side wall water channel and is sealed to the side wall of the controller lower housing 100 by a sealing ring 123 to prevent leakage of the heat dissipation medium from the side wall water channel. The side wall water channel can cool the capacitor and the entire controller housing, and the side wall water channel located on the side wall of the controller housing can effectively reduce the thickness of the vehicle motor controller.

[0101] To facilitate the positioning of the side sealing plate 300 on the lower housing 100 of the controller, a side sealing plate positioning part 118 can be provided on the lower housing 100 of the controller. The side sealing plate 300 is provided with a housing positioning part that mates with the side sealing plate positioning part 118. Through the alignment and engagement of the housing positioning part with the side sealing plate positioning part 118, the fastener holes on the side sealing plate 300 and the lower housing 100 of the controller can be aligned to facilitate the tightening of screws.

[0102] The heat dissipation channels of the power modules are connected in parallel within the heat dissipation branch channels in the three power module mounting slots. In this embodiment, the parallel connection of the heat dissipation branch channels in the three power module mounting slots ensures that the three power modules have similar heat dissipation efficiencies, resulting in a more balanced heat dissipation among the three power modules.

[0103] It should be noted that in order to set up a heat dissipation medium channel with a corresponding path on the lower housing 100 of the controller, a corresponding water channel opening must be set on the lower housing 100 of the controller. In order to prevent the heat dissipation medium from leaking at the water channel opening, the water channel opening needs to be sealed with a water channel plug 602.

[0104] This application also discloses an on-board motor controller, including the controller housing disclosed in the above embodiments. Because it has the aforementioned controller housing, it possesses all the technical effects of the aforementioned controller housing, which will not be repeated here.
