[0022] The cylindrical housing enables full use of the space at the rear end in an axial direction of the motor, such that the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber, and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. This design effectively reduces the occupied space, improves the space utilization, and realizes the high integration of the drive assembly.
[0023] It can be seen from the above that, by utilizing the space at the rear end in the axial direction of the motor, through the arrangement of the partition wall and the bearing, the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber, and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. Three single-phase terminals pass through the partition wall and are connected between the motor controller and the stator. The projection planes of the three single-phase terminals perpendicular to the axial direction are located between the projection plane of the bearing perpendicular to the axial direction and the projection plane of the stator perpendicular to the axial direction. When the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals are connected, that is, when the rotor is not mounted, an operating space is reserved between the bearing and the stator. This facilitates the connection of the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals. The motor controller is provided at the rear end in an axial direction of the motor, which effectively reduces the occupied space, improves the space utilization, and realizes the high integration of the drive assembly.
[0024] The main circuit board, the positive electrode connection plate, and the negative electrode connection plate are each configured in a circle, and the three single-phase connection plates are each configured in a fan or arcuate shape. The three single-phase connection plates are coplanar and form a circle-like outline. The positive electrode connection plate, the negative electrode connection plate and the three single-phase connection plates are laminated, and are electrically connected with the main circuit board through pins at their respective outer edges, so as to realize the corresponding circuit connection. The laminated structure reduces the axial dimension and achieves a compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, improving assembly efficiency.
[0025] The arrangement of the pins in the same circumferential direction optimizes the wiring layout and a circuit layout of the main circuit board.
[0026] The collision avoidance grooves make it easy for the pins to be arranged in the same circumferential direction, and can achieve the corresponding limiting purpose.
[0027] One single-phase bridge arm pin group, one positive electrode pin, and one negative electrode pin constitute one single-phase bridge arm. The multiple bridge arms are arranged in an orderly manner in the circumferential direction of the main circuit board, and the power transistors operate in a time-sharing manner during inverter driving, so the power transistors can also be distributed at intervals by using UVW in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the distributed arrangement realizes time-sharing heat conduction at different positions, thereby further improving the heat conduction efficiency.
[0028] The collision avoidance holes are centrally provided, and the arcuate single-phase connection plates in a circle form a connecting space at a center. Thus, the projection planes of the positive electrode connection terminals, the negative electrode connection terminals, and the three single-phase connection terminals, which are perpendicular to the axial direction, are located inside the projection plane of the second collision avoidance hole perpendicular to the axial direction. The positive electrode connection terminals, negative electrode connection terminals and single-phase connection terminals are centrally arranged, which is convenient for connection, and the pins are arranged circumferentially, which effectively optimizes the circuit wiring layout.
[0029] The connection terminals are arranged centrally, the pins are arranged circumferentially, and the power transistors are located at the outer circumference of the main circuit board. Thus, the pins of the power transistors are located at the circumference of the positive electrode and negative electrode pins and the single-phase pins, such that the main circuit board has more central space for the driving circuit layout, thereby effectively optimizing the circuit wiring layout.
[0030] The positive electrode connection terminals and the negative electrode connection terminals are located in the second collision avoidance hole. This design realizes the centralized arrangement of terminals, optimizes the layout, and improves the connection efficiency.
[0031] The laminated structure of the circuit boards reduces the axial dimension and achieves the compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, improving assembly efficiency.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Description of drawings

[0050] In the prior art, the rear end in an axial direction of the motor is generally provided with a fixing structure or a heat dissipation structure, which is generally implemented by multiple cylindrical structures. The present disclosure utilizes the space at the rear end in the axial direction, and arranges components such as the motor controller, the capacitors and the power transistors in the controller mounting chamber at the rear end in the axial direction. The present disclosure optimizes the connection structure of the rear end in the axial direction through the circuit arrangement of the laminated busbar, the terminal block and the annular arrangement of the power transistors, etc. In this way, the present disclosure reduces the overall occupied space of the circuit devices and effectively utilizes the space at the rear end in the axial direction. In addition, compared to the existing motor assembly, the present disclosure maintains the axial dimension of the drive assembly, and also maintains the radial dimension of the drive assembly in the vertical direction by optimized connection through the connecting hole. Overall, the present disclosure enables a highly integrated drive assembly.Embodiment of Vehicle:
[0051] The vehicle includes the drive assembly as described above. The drive assembly may be integrated with or without a transmission. The vehicle may be a new energy electric car, a new energy electric bus, a new energy electric truck, a new energy electric cleaning vehicle, a new energy electric rail vehicle, a new energy electric flying vehicle, a new energy electric shipping vehicle, etc.
[0052] It can be seen from the above that, by utilizing the space at the rear end in the axial direction of the motor, through the arrangement of the partition wall and the bearing, the rotor is rotatably provided in the motor mounting chamber, and the motor controller is provided in the controller mounting chamber. Three single-phase terminals pass through the partition wall and are connected between the motor controller and the stator. The projection planes of the three single-phase terminals perpendicular to the axial direction are located between the projection plane of the bearing perpendicular to the axial direction and the projection plane of the stator perpendicular to the axial direction. When the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals are connected, that is, when the rotor is not mounted, an operating space is reserved between the bearing and the stator. This facilitates the connection of the terminals of the stator and the single-phase terminals. The motor controller is provided at the rear end in an axial direction of the motor, which effectively reduces the occupied space, improves the space utilization, and realizes the high integration of the drive assembly.
[0053] In addition, considering that the stator has a three-phase winding, the three single-phase terminals are arranged at the outer circumference of the terminal block body to connect the terminals of the stator correspondingly, thereby optimizing the wiring layout. In addition, the space formed by the three single-phase terminals can accommodate components such as the bearing, thereby improving the compactness of the structure layout.
[0054] The three single-phase connection plates are coplanar and form a circle-like outline. The positive electrode connection plate, the negative electrode connection plate and the three single-phase connection plates are laminated, and are electrically connected with the main circuit board through the pins at their respective outer edges, so as to realize the corresponding circuit connection. The laminated structure reduces the axial dimension and achieves a compact purpose, and the laminated structure is simple and is easy for assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The arrangement of the pins in the same circumferential direction optimizes the wiring layout and the circuit layout of the main circuit board. The collision avoidance grooves make it easy for the pins to be arranged in the same circumferential direction, and can achieve the corresponding limiting purpose. The collision avoidance holes are centrally provided, and the arcuate single-phase connection plates in a circle form a connecting space at a center. Thus, the projection planes of the positive electrode connection terminals, the negative electrode connection terminals, and the three single-phase connection terminals, which are perpendicular to the axial direction, are located inside the projection plane of the second collision avoidance hole perpendicular to the axial direction. The positive electrode connection terminals, negative electrode connection terminals and single-phase connection terminals are centrally arranged, which is convenient for connection, and the pins are arranged circumferentially, which effectively optimizes the circuit wiring layout.
[0055] The first collision avoidance hole is used for mounting, positioning and placement of terminals. The annular device accommodating space is used to hold the multiple capacitors, such that the multiple capacitors are distributed circumferentially and well supported and positioned. The axially arranged electrical contacts are respectively electrically connected with the two ends of the capacitor to ensure the electrical connection stability. The negative electrode connection plate is stably provided on the supporting platform, and the positive electrode connection terminals and the negative electrode connection terminals are located in the second collision avoidance hole. This design realizes the centralized arrangement of terminals, optimizes the layout, and improves the connection efficiency.Industrial Applicability
