Abstract: Based on heat conduction principle, the EPS (electric power steering) brushless motor ECU (electronic control units) structure was designed to eliminate the power Mosfet damage caused by overheating of EPS systems brushless motor ECU. By using ECU 3D temperature field model of the finite volume method, the heat dissipation performance of the brushless motor ECU structure was simulated and analyzed. PCB temperature rise was measured under the condition of large current and high temperature. The comparison between test values and numerical simulation results show that the design of the new type ECU structure is reasonable and its heat dissipation performance is best. The numerical simulation has the important practical significance for mass production of new EPS brushless ECU.
Keywords: electric power steering system; brushless motor ECU; finite volume method; numerical simulation

近年来,伴随着汽车工业的迅速崛起,汽车电动助力转向系统(EPS)[1]得到蓬勃发展,然而,消费大众对汽车相关的技术要求也越来越高,与汽车配套的EPS也逐步向大功率、高性能方向发展。通过增大控制器的输出电流以及电机功率, EPS功率、性能的虽有所改善,但同样也带来控制器电子元器件性能降低、发热过大的新问题,控制器发热过度,EPS整体功率提升也就不显著。可见,控制器电子元器件的发热与温控问题是制约EPS向大功率、高性能方向发展的重要因素之一。
EPS安装在汽车仪表下方,受汽车结构及工作性质的限制,EPS控制器无法按理想结构实现散热要求,加装风扇进行散热更加不切实际,由此更降低了控制器的散热能力,进而影响到EPS工作性能乃至相关元器件的寿命。……
