A method for integrating a traction motor and an inverter, the method including: 1) providing a traction motor, the traction motor including a motor housing and a coil winding; 2) providing an inverter, the inverter including: an inverter housing, and an IGBT module; 3) independently installing the inverter in the inverter housing to form an interface, the interface including a mechanical interface and a high-voltage power interface; 4) using the mechanical interface to install the inverter housing on the motor housing to form an entire body; and 5) using the high-voltage power interface to provide a high voltage electric connection between the coil winding of the traction motor and the IGBT module of the inverter.

Integrated system of traction motor and inverter and method for integrating traction motor and inverter

A motor controller, including: a box body, a capacitor module, and an inverse module. The box body includes a chamber, and a radiator is disposed in the chamber. The radiator divides the chamber to yield a first chamber and a second chamber. The inverse module is disposed on an upper surface of the radiator in the first chamber. The capacitor module is disposed on a lower surface of the radiator in the second chamber. The radiator includes a cooling waterway, and a water inlet and a water outlet that communicate with the cooling waterway. The cooling waterway is adapted to cool the capacitor module and the inverse module.

The present invention provides an assembly for protecting automotive electronics. The assembly includes a circuit board, a cover, and a metal housing. The metal housing is disposed over and around the circuit board. The cover and metal housing are crimped together to create a seal that protects the circuit board inside the metal housing and attaches the cover to the metal housing.

Electronic assembly packaging

A throttle body and an air control system that integrates the electronic engine control modules, sensors, actuators, and associated wiring on a throttle body is disclosed. In one version of the invention, there is provided a throttle body including a throttle body wall defining an airflow passage in the throttle body, a movable throttle plate that substantially conforms to the interior dimensions of the air flow passage, an engine control device (such as a sensor or an actuator) attached to the throttle body wall, and engine control electronics mounted to the throttle body wall in spaced apart relationship with the engine control device, the engine control electronics being electrically connected with the engine control device. In another version of the invention, there is provided an air control system including a throttle body having a wall defining a first airflow passage in the throttle body, a movable throttle plate substantially conforming to the interior dimensions of the first airflow passage, an air intake manifold having a wall defining a second airflow passage, the air intake manifold being attached to the throttle body such that the first airflow passage and the second airflow passage are placed in fluid communication, an engine control device mounted to the air intake manifold, and engine control electronics mounted to the throttle body wall, the engine control electronics being electrically connected with the engine control device.
