Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0043] In the electrical systems of new energy vehicles, the electronic components in the motor controller generate strong magnetic fields during operation, and these electromagnetic waves can interfere with other circuit components, requiring protection for these components. Filtering, shielding, and grounding are the three key elements of EMC design. Among them, grounding effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference and improves the immunity of equipment by establishing a unified potential reference and providing a low-impedance loop, thereby ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of the system.

[0044] Currently, traditional shielding and grounding solutions involve forming a shielding cavity on a housing and grounding components to enable the shielding cavity to perform grounding functions. However, existing grounding components are made of composite structures to meet installation requirements. Such composite structures are not only difficult to manufacture but also costly.

[0045] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a motor controller that is applied to vehicles.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the motor controller 1 includes a control module 10, a cover 20, and a conductive rubber component 30. The control module 10 includes a mounting base 11 and an electronic control board 12, with the electronic control board 12 disposed on the mounting base 11. The cover 20 covers the mounting base 11 and has a shielding groove 21, with at least a portion of the electronic control board 12 disposed within the shielding groove 21. The conductive rubber component 30 is disposed between the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 and the control module 10, with the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 communicating with the control module 10 via the conductive rubber component 30.

[0047] The technical solution of this utility model involves providing a shielding groove 21 on the cover 20. When the cover 20 is placed on the mounting base 11 of the control module 10, the shielding groove 21 is at least partially located on the electronic control board 12 within the mounting base 11. That is, the projection of the shielding groove 21 along the height direction of the motor controller 1 at least partially overlaps with the electronic control board 12 mounted in the mounting base 11. This arrangement allows at least some electronic components on the electronic control board 12 to be protected from external electromagnetic influences or from the propagation of electromagnetic influences to the outside world through the shielding groove 21. It is worth mentioning that the shielding groove 21 can be formed by at least one groove wall 211 enclosing the cover 20. Of course, the shielding groove 21 can also be formed by multiple groove walls 211. No further limitations are imposed on this. Because poor contact may occur between the shielding groove 21 and the mounting base 11 when the cover 20 is placed on the mounting base 11, this embodiment proposes to solve this problem by providing a conductive rubber component 30 with elasticity and conductivity between the control module 10 and the cover 20. This conductive rubber component 30 is mainly used to make the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 of the cover 20 conductively connected to the control module 10, thus achieving grounding. When the shielding groove 21 receives electromagnetic influence from the outside or from the control board 12 itself, the shielding groove 21 can ground the electromagnetic field through the conductive rubber component 30 to prevent the electromagnetic field from affecting the electronic components on the control board 12. It is worth noting that the mounting base 11 in the control module 10 is directly grounded, and the control board 12 also has a corresponding grounding structure 121 to protect the electronic components. Therefore, when the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 abuts against the mounting base 11 or the control board 12 through the conductive rubber component 30, grounding can be achieved.

[0048] It is understandable that the conductive rubber component 30 not only has elasticity but also conductivity. Therefore, when the cover 20 is placed on the mounting base 11, the conductive rubber component 30 can enhance the effect of tight contact between the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 and the control module 10 through its own elasticity.

[0049] This configuration allows the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 on the cover 20 to be grounded to the control module 10 via the conductive rubber component 30. Since the conductive rubber component 30 is a composite material rather than a composite structure, its manufacturing process is relatively simpler, and the material used to make the conductive rubber component 30 is easier to obtain, resulting in a lower cost and thus improving its practicality.

[0050] In one embodiment, the conductive rubber component 30 is made of rubber material and conductive material. The conductive rubber component 30 is mainly made by mixing rubber material and conductive material and then casting or injection molding. The ratio of the two can be determined according to the actual conductivity. For example, if a higher conductivity is desired, the proportion of conductive material in the total mixture can be increased. There are no further limitations on this.

[0051] In one embodiment, the rubber material includes at least one of silicone rubber, EPDM, ethylene acrylate rubber, acrylate rubber, nitrile rubber, and fluororubber; the conductive material includes at least one of a metal material and conductive carbon powder, wherein the metal material includes at least one of aluminum powder, silver powder, copper powder, and gold powder, and the conductive carbon powder includes at least one of carbon black and graphene. For example, the rubber material may be one of silicone rubber (VMQ), EPDM, ethylene acrylate rubber (AEM), acrylate rubber (ACM), nitrile rubber (NBR), and fluororubber (FKM), or a mixture of multiple of the above materials; and the conductive material includes at least one of a metal material and conductive carbon powder, wherein the metal material may be one of aluminum powder, silver powder, copper powder, and gold powder, or a mixture of multiple of the above materials, and the conductive carbon powder may be carbon black or graphene, or a mixture of carbon black and graphene. Of course, rubber materials can also be other materials with elastic properties, and conductive materials can also be other materials with conductive properties; there are no further limitations on this.

[0052] In one embodiment, the conductive rubber component 30 has a circular, rectangular, triangular, convex arc, or irregular cross-section along its height direction; and / or, the conductive rubber component 30 has a through hole 301 extending along its length and / or width direction. For example, as... Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9As shown, the shape of the conductive rubber component 30 can be customized according to actual needs; it can be elongated or cylindrical. For example, the conductive rubber component 30 can be configured with a circular, rectangular, triangular, convex arc, or irregular cross-section along the height direction. Its shape design can be tailored to specific circumstances. For instance, to further reduce the overall elasticity of the conductive rubber component 30, the cross-sectional shape along the height direction can be designed as triangular, convex arc, or irregular. This not only reduces the overall elasticity of the conductive rubber component 30 but also further reduces its manufacturing cost. In other embodiments, through holes 301 can be formed in the conductive rubber component 30 of the above-mentioned shapes along the length direction, width direction, or both length and width directions to further reduce the overall elasticity and manufacturing cost of the conductive rubber component 30. It is worth noting that the length, width, and height of the conductive rubber component 30 are a, b, and h, respectively, where a is between 3 and 4 mm, b is between 3 and 4 mm, and h is between 2 and 4 mm. The volume resistivity of the conductive rubber is ≤0.05 Ω·cm. It is understandable that, such as Figure 6 As shown, label 'a' represents the length direction, label 'b' represents the width direction, and label 'h' represents the height direction. It should be noted that the height direction refers to the stacking direction of the mounting base 11 and the cover 20.

[0053] In one embodiment, the conductive rubber component 30 includes a body portion 31 and protrusions 32. The protrusions 32 are disposed on the body portion 31, and there are multiple protrusions 32 arranged at intervals along the length direction and / or width direction of the body portion 31. For example, Figure 10 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, the conductive rubber component 30 includes a body portion 31 and protrusions 32. The body portion 31 is conventionally rectangular, while the protrusions 32 are spike-shaped or protruding. In this embodiment, multiple protrusions 32 are provided. The multiple protrusions 32 are arranged at intervals along the length or width direction of the conductive rubber component 30, or arranged in an array at intervals along the length and width directions. This arrangement can achieve the same effect as the above embodiment, which can also reduce the overall elasticity of the conductive rubber component 30 and reduce the manufacturing cost of the conductive rubber component 30.

[0054] In one embodiment, the conductive rubber component 30 has a groove for insertion into the control module 10 and / or the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21. To facilitate connection between the conductive rubber component 30 and the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 or the control module 10, in this embodiment, a groove is formed on the surface of the conductive rubber component 30 relative to the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 or the control module 10. This allows the shielding groove 21 or the control module 10 to be inserted into the groove of the conductive rubber component 30 when the cover 20 is placed on the mounting base 11, thereby achieving a better connection. Of course, in other embodiments, grooves can also be formed on both sides of the conductive rubber component 30 corresponding to the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 and the control module 10, so that the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 and the control module 10 can achieve a tight contact effect with the conductive rubber component 30 through the grooves. It can be understood that the grooves are set on the electronic control board 12 or the mounting base 11 of the control module 10.

[0055] In one embodiment, the control board 12 is provided with a grounding structure 121, and the conductive rubber component 30 is disposed between the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 and the control board 12, and is located on the grounding structure 121. In this embodiment, the control board 12 is provided with a grounding structure 121, which can be directly grounded or grounded through the mounting base 11. No further limitations are imposed on this. In this embodiment, the conductive rubber component 30 is disposed between the control board 12 and the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21, and is located above the grounding structure 121. This arrangement allows the shielding groove 21 above the control board 12 to conduct through the wall 211 to the conductive rubber component 30, and then through the conductive rubber component 30 to the grounding structure 121, thereby achieving the grounding function. This arrangement also achieves the same effect as described above.

[0056] In one embodiment, the mounting base 11 is grounded; the conductive rubber component 30 is disposed between the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 and the mounting base 11. In this embodiment, the mounting base 11 in the control module 10 is directly grounded. Similarly, in order to enable the shielding groove 21 provided on the cover 20 to achieve the same function as described above, the conductive rubber component 30 is disposed between the mounting base 11 and the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21, so that the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 is connected to the mounting base 11 through the conductive rubber component 30 and grounded through the mounting base 11. This arrangement can prevent the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 from applying pressure to the electronic control board 12, which could lead to damage to the electronic control board 12.

[0057] In one embodiment, at least one of the control module 10 and the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 is provided with a mounting groove, and the conductive rubber component 30 is interference-fitted with the mounting groove; and / or, the conductive rubber component 30 is connected to at least one of the control module 10 and the groove wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 by conductive adhesive. For example, as... Figure 5 As shown, a mounting groove can be provided on either the control board 12 or the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21. The conductive rubber component 30 is then inserted into the mounting groove via a plug-in connection, allowing the conductive rubber component 30 to be positioned and installed by an interference fit with the mounting groove. Alternatively, mounting grooves can be provided on both the control board 12 and the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 simultaneously; this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, mounting grooves can be provided on at least one of the mounting base 11 and / or the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 to achieve the same function as in the above embodiments; this will not be elaborated further. For example, as... Figure 4 As shown, the conductive rubber component 30 can also be bonded to the wall 211 of the control board 12 and / or the shielding groove 21 using conductive adhesive, or bonded to both the control board 12 and the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 using conductive adhesive. In other embodiments, the conductive rubber component 30 can be bonded to the mounting base 11 and / or the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 using conductive adhesive, or bonded to both the mounting base 11 and the wall 211 of the shielding groove 21 using conductive adhesive; this is not a limitation. It is worth mentioning that the conductive rubber component 30 can be disposed on the inner wall surface of the groove wall 211 or on the surface of the groove wall 211 corresponding to the control module 10 using conductive adhesive; this is not a limitation. It is understood that for mounting groove fixation, if higher fixation strength is required, the size of the mounting groove relative to the size of the conductive rubber component 30 needs to be further reduced, and the surface roughness of the interference surface needs to be increased to achieve sufficient fixation strength. When using conductive adhesive, the bonding strength needs to meet 1 MPa to fix the conductive adhesive itself. However, if the conductive rubber needs to undergo logistics transportation before the shielding groove 21 is assembled, in order to prevent the conductive rubber part 30 from falling off, the surface quality of the grounding structure 121 needs to be high. For example, its surface roughness needs to be less than Ra6.3 to achieve a sufficiently strong bonding strength between the conductive rubber part 30 and the control board 12.

[0058] This utility model also proposes a vehicle, which includes a motor controller 1 as described in the above embodiments. The specific structure of the motor controller 1 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0059] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made under the technical concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
