Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy equipment, and in particular to a motor controller and a vehicle that utilizes a transfer busbar to adjust the outgoing lines. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles are characterized by being environmentally friendly and less polluting because they do not burn gasoline or diesel fuel. With the vigorous promotion and application of new energy power generation such as hydropower, wind power, solar power and nuclear power, many new energy vehicles are gradually being promoted and applied, such as new energy electric cars, new energy electric buses, new energy electric trucks, new energy electric cleaning vehicles, new energy electric rail transit vehicles, new energy electric air vehicles and new energy electric shipping vehicles.

[0003] The aforementioned vehicles generally have electrical equipment such as motor controllers, on-board chargers, on-board power supplies, inverters, or transformers. Taking the motor controller as an example, the power unit within the motor controller receives DC power from the battery and inverts it into AC power for output to the motor. Therefore, each power module corresponds to one phase of a three-phase motor, used to output one phase of the U, V, and W power supply to the motor. Each power module has two terminals for receiving DC power, used to receive positive and negative power respectively, and one current output terminal to output a current signal to one phase of the motor. When the motor controller receives DC power from the battery, it generally needs to pass through a filter circuit. The filter circuit has multiple capacitors. In existing technical solutions, these capacitors are generally soldered onto a circuit board, and the input DC copper busbar is also soldered onto the circuit board. The circuit connection is achieved through the copper-clad traces on the circuit board. This input wiring scheme is therefore inflexible in terms of output or wiring methods and is not conducive to the arrangement of terminal blocks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a motor controller that utilizes an adapter busbar to facilitate the adjustment of the outgoing line position.

[0005] The second objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle having the aforementioned motor controller.

[0006] To achieve the primary objective of this invention, a motor controller utilizing an adapter busbar for adjusting the outgoing wiring is provided. The controller includes a housing, a core mechanism, an adapter busbar, and a terminal block. The core mechanism, adapter busbar, and terminal block are housed within the housing. The core mechanism includes a capacitor module, and the capacitor module, adapter busbar, and terminal block are arranged along the length direction. The adapter busbar includes a mounting bracket and two busbars. The mounting bracket extends along the width direction and has end face grooves on both sides along the length direction. These end face grooves extend along the width direction, and a partition wall is provided between the two end face grooves. Each end face groove has a positioning peripheral wall on the outer periphery of the partition wall. Each side of the positioning peripheral wall has a welding notch at the top and a lead-out notch at the bottom. The busbar has a connecting plate and an extension plate. The extension plate is connected to the lower edge of the connecting plate. The connecting plate is fixed in the end face groove and has a clearance fit with the positioning peripheral wall. The extension plate extends from the lead-out notch to the terminal block. The capacitor module includes a capacitor housing, multiple capacitors, and two connecting bars. The multiple capacitors are set inside the capacitor housing. The two connecting bars are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the capacitors. Each connecting bar has a connecting piece outside the capacitor housing. One connecting piece is located at a welding notch and is welded to the upper edge of a connecting plate.

[0007] As can be seen from the above scheme, by arranging the mounting bracket of the busbar, when the connecting plate is installed in the end face groove, the two busbars are arranged at intervals through the partition wall, and are welded to the connecting piece connected to the capacitor through the welding notch. The extension plate can be extended to the terminal block position. Then, by utilizing the fixed and extended design of the busbar, it is no longer necessary to go through the input wiring of the circuit board. Therefore, it is beneficial to adjust the outgoing line position, optimize the line layout, and also facilitate the integration and miniaturization of the equipment.

[0008] A further improvement is that the mounting bracket has mounting parts at both ends in the width direction, and the mounting parts are fixedly connected to the outer shell.

[0009] A further proposed solution is to install two support columns inside the casing, with one support column opposite to a mounting part, and the support column and the mounting part being fixedly connected.

[0010] As can be seen from the above, the arrangement of the mounting section and support column ensures that the adapter busbar is stably installed inside the housing.

[0011] A further proposed solution is to place the extension plate at one end of the connecting plate along its width direction.

[0012] A further proposed solution is to extend the extension plate parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to the connecting plate.

[0013] As can be seen from the above, the extension plate extends from one end in the width direction and is then offset to facilitate the arrangement of the terminal block. Furthermore, the horizontal extension of the extension plate facilitates wiring and connection operations.

[0014] A further proposed solution is to have multiple welding notches on the upper part of each side positioning perimeter wall, with the welding notches arranged along the width direction.

[0015] A further proposed solution is to have multiple welding notches on the two side positioning perimeter walls staggered along the width direction.

[0016] A further proposed solution is to arrange two adjacent welding notches at different heights.

[0017] As can be seen from the above, the staggered and misaligned arrangement of the welding notches facilitates the corresponding welding of the connecting pieces of the two connecting rows and improves the isolation between the two connecting pieces.

[0018] To achieve the second objective of this utility model, this utility model provides a means of transportation, including a motor controller as described above. Attached Figure Description
