- the present invention relates to a power converter device for a vehicle, comprising a cooling structure through which a cooling medium can flow and an intermediate circuit capacitor having a busbar arrangement.
- the invention relates to a vehicle.
- Such a power converter device for a vehicle is known from US 2012/0250384 A1, which discloses an inverter device having a plurality of switching devices, a capacitor that smoothes DC power, and a base plate. On a component placing surface of the base plate, the plurality of switching components are placed, with heat dissipating fins provided on the side of the base plate opposite to the component placing surface.
- the capacitor has a capacitor component and capacitor busbars that are cast in a housing region of the capacitor.
- the condenser is cooled by wind.
- Cooling of a DC link capacitor by airstream is not possible, however, if the converter device is encapsulated by environmental influences in the vehicle.
- the heat dissipation behavior of such a capacitor is in need of improvement, since poor heat removal at high power requirements can lead to overheating and thus thermal failure of the DC link capacitor.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, an improved cooling an intermediate circuit capacitor in a power converter device for a vehicle to indicate.
- a power converter device of the type mentioned wherein the busbar assembly at least is partially connected via a heat conduction thermally conductive to the cooling structure for heat dissipation from the DC link capacitor.
- the invention is based on the finding that conventional DC link capacitors have only a poor thermal connection to the cooling medium, with added additional thermal insulation by the potting compound, in particular in potted DC link capacitors.
- the invention proposes to thermally connect the busbar arrangement of the intermediate circuit capacitor to the cooling structure via the heat conduction means in order to ensure the typically good thermal conductivity of the busbar arrangement for dissipating heat which arises due to the flow of current through the busbar arrangement and Heat from the interior of the DC link capacitor to use.
- the heat is therefore guided from the point at which it arises via the heat conducting means to the cooling structure, instead of cooling the intermediate circuit capacitor only from the outside, as in conventional converter devices.
- the heat conducting means is a thermal paste, by means of which the busbar arrangement is connected directly to the cooling structure.
- the busbar arrangement is connected directly to the cooling structure.
- the heat-conducting means comprises a heat-conducting plate, via which the busbar arrangement can be connected to the cooling structure.
- the heat conducting plate is preferably formed of metal.
- the heat-conducting medium can comprise a heat-conducting paste, which is arranged between the busbar arrangement and the heat-conducting plate and / or between the heat-conducting plate and the cooling structure.
- the busbar assembly comprises an insulating means, via which the busbar assembly is electrically isolated from the heat conducting.
- the insulating means is preferably formed from an insulating film.
- the busbar arrangement may have at least one busbar element with a first busbar section extending in a spatial direction, on which the heat conducting means is arranged, and a second busbar section extending in another spatial direction.
- the first busbar section can thus run parallel to a cooling structure-side surface to which the busbar arrangement is thermally connected.
- the second busbar section preferably extends perpendicularly to the first busbar section and in particular is contacted with other components of the electrical power converter device.
- a, in particular curved, connecting section can be provided between the first busbar section and the second busbar section.
- the second busbar section and / or the connecting section do not touch the cooling structure and / or the heat conduction structure.
- the cooling structure may have a through opening into or through which the second busbar section extends.
- the DC link capacitor can be a housing and a capacitor structure that at least partially accommodated in the housing and electrically contacted with the busbar arrangement.
- the capacitor structure is formed, for example, from one or more windings, in particular film windings.
- the heat-conducting means and a portion of the busbar arrangement connected to the heat-conducting means can be arranged outside the housing.
- the capacitor structure can protrude out of the opening.
- the cooling structure then expediently has a recess into which the busbar arrangement and the capacitor structure protrude.
- the capacitor structure may be potted.
- the busbar assembly and the capacitor structure and a not directly connected to the busbar assembly portion of the heat conduction in the housing may be potted.
- the first busbar section is completely potted.
- the heat conduction can be substantially flush with an edge surface of the housing.
- the housing is attached to the cooling structure. This is done, for example, by means of a flange connection.
- the power converter device according to the invention can have a power unit which is arranged on a side of the cooling structure opposite the housing.
- the cooling structure forms a converter housing which houses the power unit.
- at least one cooling channel for a cooling fluid is formed as a cooling medium in the cooling structure.
- the cooling fluid in particular a cooling fluid, thus advantageously allows a particularly high heat dissipation.
- the at least one cooling channel may be part of a closed cooling circuit.
- the invention relates to a vehicle, in particular electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle, comprising an electric machine for driving the vehicle and a power converter device according to the invention for supplying the electric machine.
