An insulating through hole is provided between the frame ground connected to the high voltage system and the low voltage circuit on the control circuit board, increasing the insulating distance and allowing the resin gel material to fill and cover the area, effectively blocking electromagnetic noise.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a shield plate is provided between the control circuit board and high voltage circuit, then noise interference between the control circuit board and high voltage circuit is prevented, but electromagnetic noise can still propagate from the frame ground to the low voltage circuit
Solution Approach 1:
The control circuit board is segmented into distinct high voltage and low voltage regions, with the frame ground physically divided into separate high voltage ground and low voltage ground areas. This segmentation prevents noise propagation by creating isolated electrical zones on the same board.
Solution Approach 2:
A resin gel material is introduced as an intermediary substance filling the space between high voltage and low voltage circuits. This gel acts as an electromagnetic shielding medium that blocks noise propagation while allowing the compact inverter module design to be maintained.
2Volume of moving object
If the inverter apparatus is compactly integrated in the inverter accommodating part, then space efficiency is improved, but sufficient noise blocking and electrical insulating performance becomes difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The inverter module merges the power system circuit board and control circuit board into a single integrated unit housed together in one inverter accommodating part. This consolidation achieves compact space utilization while maintaining noise isolation through proper circuit board layout and grounding segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the control circuit board are assigned different electrical characteristics - high voltage areas use one grounding scheme while low voltage areas use another. This local differentiation of electrical properties allows compact integration while preventing noise propagation between different voltage zones.
3Reliability
If resin gel material is used for filling, then moisture-proof and vibration-proof properties are enhanced, but electromagnetic noise blocking performance is insufficient without additional shielding structures
Solution Approach 1:
The inverter module employs a composite protection approach combining resin gel material with electromagnetic shielding structures. The resin gel provides moisture and vibration protection while the shielding structures (frame ground segmentation and low voltage circuit shielding) provide electromagnetic noise blocking, creating a multi-functional protection system.
