[0034] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an electric drive controller, which includes a housing and functional modules. The housing includes a first outer shell 11 and a partition 12. The first outer shell 11 is disposed on one side of the partition 12 and together with the partition 12 forms a first cavity. The partition 12 is provided with a main flow channel 121 and at least two branch flow channels 122. One end of the main flow channel 121 is used to communicate with the outlet of the radiator, and the other end of the main flow channel 121 is simultaneously connected to one end of the at least two branch flow channels 122. The other ends of the at least two branch flow channels 122 are used to communicate with the inlet of the radiator. The at least two branch flow channels 122 are arranged sequentially at intervals. The functional modules include a control module 21, an auxiliary drive power module 22, and a main drive power module 23 located on the partition 12 in the first cavity. The control module 21 and the auxiliary drive power module 22 are arranged sequentially above the main flow channel 121 along the flow direction of the coolant, and the main drive power module 23 is located above the at least two branch flow channels 122. When the electric drive controller is working, the heat generated by the control module 21, auxiliary drive power module 22, and main drive power module 23 increases sequentially within the same time frame. Therefore, the coolant flows sequentially through the control module 21, auxiliary drive power module 22, and main drive power module 23. Since the control module 21 generates less heat, the coolant, after absorbing the heat from the control module 21, can still dissipate heat from the auxiliary drive power module 22. The auxiliary drive power module 22 generates less heat than the main drive power module 23, so the coolant, after absorbing the heat from the auxiliary drive power module 22, can still dissipate heat from the main drive power module 23. Simultaneously, the main drive power module 23 is opposite multiple branch channels 122, further improving the heat dissipation effect on the main drive power module 23. This electric drive controller is positioned based on the coolant flow path and the heat generation of each functional module. Furthermore, at least two branch channels 122 are located below the main drive power module 23, which generates the most heat, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the electric drive controller for the functional modules.
[0036] Optionally, the coolant between the main flow channel 121, the branch flow channel 122, and the radiator is circulated by a liquid pump.
[0037] Optionally, the side wall of the partition plate 12 is provided with a liquid inlet connector 123 and a liquid outlet connector 124 in the first direction Y, one end of the main flow channel 121 is communicated with the liquid inlet connector 123, and the other end of the at least two branch flow channels 122 is communicated with the liquid outlet connector 124, the branch flow channels 122 extend in the second direction X and are arranged in the first direction Y, and the first direction Y and the second direction X are perpendicular and both are in the plane where the partition plate 12 is located. In this embodiment, the liquid inlet connector 123 and the liquid outlet connector 124 are arranged on one side wall of the partition plate 12, which facilitates the connection of the liquid inlet connector 123 and the liquid outlet connector 124 with the radiator and the liquid pump. In addition, this arrangement makes the main flow channel 121 and the branch flow channel 122 form a U shape, which improves the flow path of the cooling liquid and improves the heat dissipation effect of the cooling liquid on the functional module compared with the linear flow channel.
[0038] Optionally, the shell further comprises a second shell 13 arranged on the side of the partition plate 12 away from the first shell 11, and the second shell 13 and the partition plate 12 form a second cavity; the functional module further comprises a DCDC controller 24 arranged on the partition plate 12 in the second cavity and opposite to the main flow channel 121. In this embodiment, since the DCDC controller 24 generates less heat, the DCDC controller 24 is suitable to be arranged on the main flow channel 121, but the position opposite to the main flow channel 121 in the first cavity has been occupied by the control module 21 and the auxiliary drive power module 22, so the second shell 13 is arranged on the side of the partition plate 12 away from the first shell 11, and the DCDC controller 24 is arranged on the partition plate 12 in the second cavity and opposite to the main flow channel 121 to achieve heat dissipation of the DCDC controller 24.
[0039] For the specific position of the DCDC controller 24, the DCDC controller 24 is opposite to the control module 21. In this embodiment, since the DCDC controller 24 generates less heat, and the cooling liquid has the strongest heat absorption capacity near the liquid inlet connector 123 of the main flow channel 121, the DCDC controller 24 is arranged near the liquid inlet connector 123 of the main flow channel 121.
[0040] Optionally, the first shell 11 is provided with a first exhaust hole communicating with the first cavity, and the electric drive controller further comprises a first exhaust fan arranged in the first exhaust hole; in this embodiment, the control module 21, the auxiliary drive power module 22 and the main drive power module 23 are arranged in the first cavity, and when the electric drive controller works, part of the heat generated by the control module 21, the auxiliary drive power module 22 and the main drive power module 23 is absorbed by the cooling liquid, and the other part enters the first cavity. In order to avoid the accumulation of a large amount of heat in the first cavity, a first exhaust fan is arranged to exhaust the heat in the first cavity.
[0041] And / or the second shell 13 is provided with a second exhaust hole communicating with the second cavity, and the electric drive controller further comprises a second exhaust fan arranged in the second exhaust hole.
[0042] Optionally, the control module 21 comprises a control circuit board 211 and a capacitor 212 arranged on one side of the control circuit board 211, and the capacitor 212 is arranged to abut against the partition plate 12. In the embodiment, since the capacitor 212 on the control module 21 mainly generates heat, the capacitor 212 is arranged to abut against the partition plate 12, so that the heat generated by the capacitor 212 is conveniently transmitted to the cooling liquid in the main flow channel 121 through the partition plate 12.
[0043] Optionally, the functional module further comprises an electronic fuse 25 arranged in the first cavity and arranged opposite to the main flow channel 121 between the control module 21 and the auxiliary drive power module 22. In the embodiment, the electronic fuse 25 is used for overload protection of the functional module, and the electronic fuse 25 has a small size, so the electronic fuse 25 is arranged opposite to the main flow channel 121 between the control module 21 and the auxiliary drive power module 22, so that the cooling liquid in the main flow channel 121 is used for heat dissipation of the electronic fuse 25.
[0044] Optionally, the electric drive controller further comprises a fuse box 3 arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the shell. In the embodiment, the fuse box 3 is arranged outside the first cavity and the second cavity, which can save the space in the first cavity and the second cavity, and facilitate replacement of the fuses in the fuse box 3 when the fuses in the fuse box 3 are fused.
[0045] Optionally, the shell is an integral cast molding. In the embodiment, the arrangement can improve the manufacturing efficiency of the shell, and can also avoid the problem of leakage of the cooling liquid at the connection between the main flow channel 121 and the branch flow channel 122.
[0046] The embodiment also provides a new energy vehicle comprising the electric drive controller in the above-mentioned scheme.
[0047] Obviously, the above embodiments of the utility model are only examples for clearly explaining the utility model, and are not a limitation on the embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary skilled persons in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to exhaust all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model claims.
