Publication number: 20230397381Abstract: A heat dissipation structure for a belt starter generator (BSG) which reduces the temperature of one or more ground screws used to connect a printed circuit board (PCB) to a cooling device of the BSG. The PCB is part of an inverter, and the inverter of the BSG is grounded using two ground screws that fix the PCB to the cooling device. A heat dissipation bridge is connected to the two ground screws, the PCB, and the cooling device. The heat dissipation bridge is connected to the grounds screws such that the heat dissipation bridge is located and in contact with an area of the cooling device where the coolant is flowing through a flow cavity. The heat dissipation bridge absorbs the colder temperature from the cooling device therefore lowers the temperatures of the ground screws to a safe level for the components of the PCB.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Vitesco Technologies USA, LLCInventors: Guoqing Wang, Laura Noel Church
