[0002] An automotive electronic fuel pump assembly consists of a motor, a gear pump, and a controller. Currently, all fuel pump controller assemblies on the market are oil-immersed controllers.
[0003] The motor, pump body, and controller of the all-oil-immersed controller are completely immersed inside the transmission. The controller needs to be immersed in oil for a long time, and its heat dissipation method is through the transmission oil.
[0004] If the controller is installed in oil, the sealing design of the controller needs to take into account the risk of long-term oil penetration into the controller; if it is immersed in oil for a long time, once the transmission oil rises, the controller will be in a high-temperature cavity for a long time, and it will be difficult to exchange heat.

An external sealing groove is provided on the outer wall of the plastic housing. The external sealing groove is sealed to the outer wall of the gearbox housing.
[0008] A preferred embodiment is that the outer wall of the heat dissipation cover is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation ribs, and adjacent heat dissipation ribs are parallel to each other.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an external controller structure includes a gearbox housing 10, a motor 20, and a controller 30. The controller 30 includes a heat dissipation cover 31, a PCBA board 32, and a plastic housing 33. The heat dissipation cover 31 is sealed to the plastic housing 33. The PCBA board 32 is fixed inside the plastic housing 33. The side wall of the plastic housing 33 is provided with a pin 34, which is sealed to the side wall of the plastic housing 33. One end of the pin 34 is connected to the PCBA board 32, and the other end is used to connect to the motor 20. The outer wall of the plastic housing 33 is provided with an outer sealing groove 35, which is sealed to the outer wall of the gearbox housing 10.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the controller 30 is placed outside the gearbox housing 10, which reduces the difficulty of the controller 30 sealing design. The controller 30 has low requirements for material oil compatibility, a large range of material selection, and reduces material costs. The internal space of the gearbox housing 10 is relatively compact, saving internal space of the gearbox housing 10.
