[0042] Embodiment one: the embodiment discloses a switching capacitor module 1, which can be used as an independent module for miniaturization and integration application scenarios, or also as an extended capacitor, connected with the capacitor module (basic capacitor module 4 described below) in the original application scenario, to overcome the problem that the existing part of the scene capacitor is large, and the capacitor capacity is not enough after reducing the size of the capacitor.
[0043] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-4 , the switching capacitor module 1 comprises:
[0044] The shell 11 has a first area and a second area inside; the first area and the second area are arranged side by side along the length direction of the shell 11, and the two areas can be set to different shapes for distinction, or can be without distinction, and after the capacitor core 12 and the nanocrystalline magnetic core 13 are placed therein, they are fixed by pouring and sealing;
[0045] The capacitor core 12 is poured and sealed in the first area to form a capacitor area;
[0046] The nanocrystalline magnetic core 13 is filled in the second area to form a filtering area. It can be understood that other magnetic cores that can achieve the integration effect can also be used.
[0047] The copper bar 14, including positive and negative copper bars 14, connects the capacitor core 12 and the nanocrystalline magnetic core 13 and extends out of both sides of the shell 11. Specifically, one end is connected to the capacitor core 12 (located at one end of the capacitor core 12) and the other end is connected to the nanocrystalline magnetic ring (located at one end of the nanocrystalline magnetic ring).
[0048] In this embodiment, the inside of the shell 11 is divided into two areas to integrate the nanocrystalline magnetic core 13 in the capacitor module, that is, to integrate the EMC function on the capacitor module. The integration in the inside of the shell 11 reduces the number of components and welding points, reduces the assembly complexity, and improves the production efficiency. The integration of the nanocrystalline magnetic core 13 can effectively reduce the power ripple and electromagnetic interference, and also reduce the parasitic inductance and parasitic resistance.
[0049] The adapter capacitor module 1 of this embodiment also includes a current sensor 2 connected to the copper bar 14 (located in the shell 11) between the capacitor core 12 and the nanocrystalline magnetic core 13, that is, the current monitoring is integrated with the capacitor. The current sensor 2 is directly coupled to the current path of the capacitor core 12 (through the copper bar 14 inside it), and the signal transmission delay can be shortened to the nanosecond level. Compared with the microsecond level delay of the external sensor, the monitoring effect and efficiency are better, and the application scenarios are more extensive.
[0050] Based on the above, the integrated current sensor 2 also adopts a magnetic shielding design (the above-mentioned nanocrystalline magnetic core 13), which can suppress the interference of the electromagnetic field around the capacitor on the current measurement, and improve the accuracy of the monitoring result. Further, the overall volume of the adapter capacitor module 1 is effectively reduced, which is different from the existing arrangement of connecting independent current sensors 2 through wires, reducing the connection and reducing the damage in the application process; In addition, the current sensor 2 is integrated in the inside of the shell 11, which can also reuse the power supply / circuit of the capacitor, etc., reducing repeated design and optimizing space utilization.
[0051] In this embodiment, the current sensor 2 is arranged on the copper bar 14 at the current input side of the capacitor core 12, accurately monitors the current input, and makes the monitoring result more accurate. Specifically, as an example, it can be regarded that there is a gap between the capacitor core 12 and the nanocrystalline magnetic ring, which is connected through the arrangement of the current sensor 2 (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 The corresponding circuit diagram of the current sensor 2 is shown, in which the left side is the capacitor core 12 and the right side is the nanocrystalline magnetic ring.
[0052] In the embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the integrated current sensor 2, a support 3 for supporting the current sensor 2 is further included; the support 3 includes a supporting portion 31 for placing the current sensor 2 and an extension portion 32 located on both sides of the supporting portion 31; the copper bar 14 is folded to be located on both sides of the extension portion 32 and connected to the current sensor 2; and the support 3 is connected to the shell 11.
[0053] Based on the above, as an example, the current sensor 2 is located in the middle, and the copper bar 14 is folded to both sides of the current sensor 2; as an option, the supporting portion 31 and the extension portion 32 can be made of metal materials, so that after the current sensor 2 and the copper bar 14 are connected, the support 3 can be used to realize partial current transmission (electrical connection).
[0054] The support 3 is fixed in the adapter capacitor module 1 in cooperation with the support, and it can be understood that a detachable mode including but not limited to clamping and bolt 33 connection can be used for convenient assembly. The support 3 is arranged between the first region and the second region, and as an option, other support structures can be further arranged for integrating other sensors or adjusting the position of the current sensor 2 to meet different application requirements.
[0055] In the embodiment, the bolt 33 is arranged on the support 3 to pass through the copper bar 14 and the extension portion 32 to detachably fix the copper bar 14 on the support 3, and the copper bar 14 is fixed in the adapter capacitor module 1 by the bolt 33, thereby reducing the safety risk caused by displacement between the copper bar 14 and the support 3 during use.
[0056] In the embodiment, the capacitor core 12 and the nanocrystalline magnetic ring are filled after being arranged in the shell 11, a filling baffle can be arranged on the shell 11 for convenient operation, filling is beneficial to the integrity of the adapter capacitor module 1, and is also convenient for batch operation and improves production efficiency.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the shell 11 is arranged with a first heat dissipation water channel (in the shell 11, not shown in the figure) acting on the first region, that is, the effect of an integrated water cooling plate, and is arranged around the first region, that is, the capacitor region (for capacitor heat dissipation, and to a certain extent, part of the heat of the nanocrystalline magnetic ring can also be removed), thereby realizing the integration of the heat dissipation function, without the need for additional arrangement of a heat dissipation component, reducing the mounting and fixing points, improving the integration and miniaturization, and at the same time, the heat dissipation water channel is integrated in the shell 11, reducing the transfer thermal resistance between the capacitor core 12 and the shell 11, and providing a better heat dissipation effect.
[0058] In addition, the shell 11 in the embodiment can be applied to a metal shell 11, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the integrated heat dissipation waterway, and the distribution and structure of the heat dissipation waterway can be selected according to the application scene. Through the integration of the above-mentioned (first) heat dissipation waterway, current sensor 2, nanocrystalline magnetic core 13 and capacitor core 12, the switching capacitor module 1 with filtering function and current monitoring is obtained, and multiple modules / devices are integrated, thereby effectively reducing the occupied space of the module.
[0059] The switching capacitor module 1 of the embodiment can be independently applied, combined or connected with other modules, and applied in batches, so as to meet the needs of different integrated and / or miniaturized scenes.
[0060] Embodiment two: the embodiment also provides an integrated capacitor assembly, which can be an integrated application example of the above-mentioned switching capacitor module 1. Figures 1-4 , and also includes: Figure 5
[0061] The basic capacitor module 4 is connected to one side of the switching capacitor module 1.
[0062] The filtering assembly 6 is connected to the side of the second area away from the basic capacitor module 4.
[0063] In the embodiment, the basic capacitor module 4 can be a capacitor module that has been applied or must be applied in the application scene, such as a DC-link capacitor (DC bus capacitor). A smaller basic capacitor module 4 can be selected due to the need to meet the miniaturized scene, and at this time, in order to meet the power application, the above-mentioned switching capacitor module 1 can be integrated to realize the expansion of the basic capacitor module 4. Since the switching capacitor module 1 can be arranged relatively independently, it can be arranged at any position in the scene (such as stacked or parallel arrangement, which can realize connection), thereby meeting the needs of different scenes.
[0064] The basic capacitor module 4 is connected to the end of the copper bar 14 (located at one end of the capacitor core 12) of the first area of the shell 11 of the switching capacitor module 1, to realize the expansion of the capacitor; the filtering assembly 6 can be a filter or a filtering circuit designed for the application scene, which is connected to the end of the copper bar 14 (located at one end of the nanocrystalline magnetic ring) of the second area of the shell 11 of the switching capacitor module 1, to perform further filtering, further reduce parasitic parameters, reduce the influence of common-mode inductance, improve EMC performance, enhance reliability and anti-interference ability.
[0065] In the embodiment, the basic capacitor module 4 is connected with a power component 5, which specifically includes but is not limited to a power semiconductor device, and further can be integrated with an electronic device such as a sensor, etc., to realize multifunctional integration, and can be provided with a plurality of interfaces, etc., for application in different devices / systems in different scenarios.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the integrated capacitor assembly can also be integrated with a heat dissipation function, and the basic capacitor module 4 is integrated with a second heat dissipation channel, wherein the second heat dissipation channel is in communication with the first heat dissipation channel, and the integrated capacitor assembly as a whole forms a (large) heat dissipation channel (such as Figure 5 only the water pipe connected to the heat dissipation channel is shown in the upper side), and the integrated capacitor assembly as a whole is subjected to heat dissipation, so that a separate heat dissipation component is not required, and a plurality of water inlets and outlets are not required, thereby reducing the safety hazards caused by heat generation of each component during use and improving the use safety.
[0067] In a preferred embodiment, as described above, considering the application in a miniaturized scenario, the integrated capacitor assembly preferably reduces the space occupation, and therefore the basic capacitor module 4 and the switching capacitor module 1 are arranged side by side in the width direction, i.e., along the shorter side, if Figure 5 the transverse direction is the length direction, the basic capacitor module 4 and the switching capacitor module 1 are connected in the longitudinal direction, which reduces the requirement for the transverse space, makes the integrated capacitor assembly have a higher integration degree and a more concentrated space occupation, and can be arranged close to the basic capacitor module 4 and the switching capacitor module 1, so that the integrated capacitor assembly is arranged in an approximately regular cuboid shape, thereby facilitating assembly, transportation or application.
[0068] Based on the above, as an optional arrangement, the basic capacitor module 4 and the switching capacitor module 1 share a shell 11 on the side connected thereto, i.e., the space occupation can be further optimized, and the shell 11 can also realize reuse of the heat dissipation channel described above, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency and reduce the connection points between the modules.
[0069] In the embodiment, the integrated capacitor assembly integrates the switching capacitor module 1 described above, utilizes the switching capacitor module 1 to realize expansion of the basic capacitor module 4, and further integrates a filtering function, a current monitoring function (through the current sensor 2 on the switching capacitor module 1), a heat dissipation function, etc., so as to realize a capacitor assembly with high integration and suitable for a miniaturized scenario, reduce the application of a connecting piece, reduce the space occupation, reduce the cost, improve the efficiency and application effect.
[0070] The embodiment also provides a motor controller applying the above-mentioned relay capacitor module 1 of the first embodiment and / or the above-mentioned integrated capacitor assembly. The motor controller is a core device for controlling the operation state of a motor and is widely applied in many fields such as new energy vehicles, hybrid vehicles and the like. It can be understood that the motor controller also comprises modules / assemblies / components / devices and the like connected with the above-mentioned relay capacitor module 1 and / or integrated capacitor assembly to realize application, and connects a power system, a control system and the like according to different application scenarios.
[0071] It should be noted that the embodiments of the utility model have better implementation, and do not limit the utility model in any form, and any skilled person in the art can change or modify the equivalent effective embodiments by using the above-mentioned disclosed technical content, as long as the content of the utility model technical scheme is not deviated, and any modification or equivalent change and modification of the above-mentioned embodiments according to the technical essence of the utility model still belongs to the range of the utility model technical scheme.
