[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a heat dissipation structure for a dual-main-drive electric drive controller, including a housing 1. The housing 1 has an installation plate 11 inside. The top and bottom of the installation plate 11 are provided with interconnected liquid cooling tanks 12. The top and bottom of the liquid cooling tanks 12 are provided with IGBT modules 13. The IGBT modules 13 are provided with a plurality of heat dissipation teeth 131 with one end extending into the liquid cooling tanks 12.

[0029] Specifically, the top and bottom of the liquid cooling tank 12 are provided with sealing grooves 121, and a silicone sealing ring 122 is sleeved inside the sealing groove 121. The top and bottom of the silicone sealing ring 122 are provided with no less than two sealing protrusions 123, and the inner and outer rings of the silicone sealing ring 122 are provided with no less than one arc-shaped protrusion 124.

[0030] In this embodiment, the IGBT module 13 is fixed to the liquid cooling tank 12 with screws, which then presses against the silicone sealing ring 122. Multiple sealing protrusions 123 achieve multi-level sealing, further ensuring the sealing performance between the IGBT module 13 and the liquid cooling tank 12. The arc-shaped protrusion 124 structure concentrates the pressure from the IGBT module 13 to the critical contact area, preventing excessive compression of the silicone sealing ring 122. By distributing the pressure points, effective sealing strength is maintained while reducing the risk of permanent deformation of the silicone sealing ring 122.

[0031] Specifically, the IGBT module 13 is fixed to the liquid cooling tank 12 by screws, and a through hole 125 is provided between the two liquid cooling tanks 12. The box body 1 has an inlet pipe 14 and an outlet pipe 15 that are respectively connected to the two liquid cooling tanks 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, coolant enters the interior of one of the liquid cooling tanks 12 through the inlet pipe 14. After the coolant partially fills the liquid cooling tank 12, it flows into the interior of the other liquid cooling tank 12 through the through hole 125. After filling the other liquid cooling tank 12, it flows out through the outlet pipe 15. The heat dissipation fins 131 on the IGBT module 13 that extend into the liquid cooling tank 12 are carried away by the coolant. This design can achieve the effect of cooling both sides of the IGBT module 13.

[0033] Specifically, the housing 1 is also provided with a mounting groove 16 located on one side of the mounting plate 11. The mounting groove 16 is provided with at least one stud 161. A thin film capacitor 17 is installed inside the mounting groove 16 through the stud 161 and screws.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the film capacitor 17 is embedded inside the mounting groove 16, connecting ears matching the studs 161 are provided on both sides of the film capacitor 17. The film capacitor 17 can be installed by tightening the connecting ears and the studs 161 with screws.

[0035] Specifically, a positive and negative copper busbar 18 for the battery is provided on one side of the thin film capacitor 17, and a three-phase copper busbar 19 is provided on one side of the IGBT module 13.

[0036] In this embodiment, copper busbars are provided on both sides of the IGBT module 13, and copper busbars are also provided on one side of the film capacitor 17. The copper busbars on the side of the film capacitor 17 are fixedly connected to the copper busbars on the side of the IGBT module 13 and the positive and negative copper busbars 18 of the battery by screws. The copper busbars on the other side of the IGBT module 13 are fixed to the three-phase copper busbars 19 by screws.

[0037] In summary, the heat dissipation structure of this dual-main-drive electric drive controller allows the heat on the IGBT module 13 to be carried away by the coolant through the heat dissipation teeth 131, eliminating the contact thermal resistance of traditional heat dissipation methods, improving the cooling effect, and achieving high cooling efficiency. Traditional housing 1 water channels require friction welding, but this solution eliminates this complex process. It uses silicone sealing rings 122 to achieve the required protection level. Housing 1 is simple to process, has high production capacity, low cost, compact overall layout, high integration, and small space occupation, which can meet the layout requirements of most electric vehicles and has broad application prospects.
