Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductor heat dissipation, and in particular to a double-sided water-cooled radiator based on a silver sintering connection process. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, motor controllers are developing towards higher efficiency, smaller size, greater power density, higher operating temperature range, and lower cost. As a heat source, if the power module cannot take away the generated heat in time, it will cause the power chip to operate at a high temperature, the loss will further increase, and the controller efficiency will be low, which will directly affect the reliability and service life of the power unit. Compared with the traditional single-sided cooling power module packaging, double-sided cooling can significantly improve the heat dissipation capacity, power chip utilization, and reduce electrical parasitic parameters. Therefore, how to give full play to the heat dissipation effect and manufacturability of double-sided water-cooled power modules is a new task facing the field of semiconductor heat dissipation technology.
[0003] The existing double-sided water-cooled radiator is made by coating the substrates on both sides of the power module with thermal grease, which is then fixed on the radiator. Under the long-term impact of hot and cold temperatures, the thermal grease of the radiator with this connection method will partially decompose into oily raw materials and fillers, which will damage the long-term stability of the grease. At the same time, in an environment with alternating hot and cold temperatures, the size of the gaps in the original thermal grease coating will also change with temperature, resulting in an air extraction effect. The air extraction effect can easily extract the thermal grease with lower viscosity between the substrate and the radiator. All of these will cause the thermal resistance Rth to slowly increase over time, resulting in a decrease in heat dissipation capacity.
[0004] To this end, we propose a double-sided water-cooled radiator based on silver sintering connection process to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0063] Reference Figure 1-10 A double-sided water-cooled radiator based on a silver sintering connection process, wherein two insert tubes 122 are connected to the bottom of a heat sink A212, and the two insert tubes 122 are both connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink A212; two sleeve tubes 211 are connected to the top of a heat sink B21, and the two sleeve tubes 211 are both connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink B21; the two insert tubes 122 are respectively plugged into the two sleeve tubes 211 correspondingly, and by plugging and connecting the insert tube 122 with the sleeve tube 211, specifically inserting the insert tube 122 into the sleeve tube 211, the heat sink A212 can be connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink B21.
[0064] Two insert tubes 3 212 are connected to the bottom of the heat sink B-21, and both insert tubes 3 212 are connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink B-21. Two sleeve tubes 3 221 are connected to the top of the heat sink B-22, and both sleeve tubes 3 221 are connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink B-22. The two insert tubes 3 212 are respectively plugged into the two sleeve tubes 3 221 correspondingly. By inserting the insert tube 3 212 into the sleeve tube 3 221 and connecting them, the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink B-21 and the heat sink B-22 can be connected.
[0065] Two insert tubes 222 are connected to the bottom of the heat sink B22, and the two insert tubes 222 are connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink B22. Two sleeves 2311 are connected to the top of the heat sink C31, and the two sleeves 2311 are connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink C31. The two insert tubes 222 are respectively plugged into and connected with the two sleeves 2311. By inserting the insert tube 222 into the sleeve 2311, the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink B22 can be connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink C31.
[0066] Two insert tubes 5 312 are connected to the bottom of the heat sink C-31, and both insert tubes 5 312 are connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink C-31. Two sleeve tubes 5 321 are connected to the top of the heat sink C-32, and both sleeve tubes 5 321 are connected to the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink C-32. The two insert tubes 5 312 are respectively plugged into and connected with the two sleeve tubes 5 321. By inserting the insert tube 5 312 into the sleeve tube 5 321, the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink C-31 can be connected with the cooling inner cavity inside the heat sink C-32.
[0067] Two six plug-in tubes 322 are connected to the bottom of the heat sink C2 32, and the two six plug-in tubes 322 are connected to the inside of the heat sink C2 32. The two six plug-in tubes 322 can be used as a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe respectively. If the third heat sink group 3 where the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are located is regarded as the first heat sink, the two six plug-in tubes 322 of the first heat sink are longer, which is convenient for connecting the system pipeline; the top end cover of the first heat sink group 1 as the last heat sink is closed; the plug-in tubes and sleeves on the second heat sink group 2 in the middle are consistent, but it should be noted that if a six plug-in tube 322 is used as a water inlet pipe, then the middle one where the six plug-in tube 322 is located The channels and circulation cavities of the insert tube and the sleeve on the center line are all water inlet routes, and the other opposite insert tube six 322 is used as a water outlet pipe. The channels and circulation cavities of the insert tube and the sleeve on a center line where the insert tube six 322 is located are water outlet routes, so that cooling water enters from one insert tube six 322 into the circulation cavities on each vertical center line, and then enters into the circulation cavity on another vertical center line, and finally flows out from the other insert tube six 322. In this way, the cooling liquid or cooling water can flow in each cooling cavity to form heat exchange with the clamped double-sided water-cooled power module 4, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the double-sided water-cooled power module 4.
[0068] Among the multiple plugs and sleeves mentioned above, each plug and each sleeve used in conjunction with it form a connecting pipe fitting, so there are multiple connecting pipe fittings used in conjunction, and the connecting pipe fittings have a limited connection effect, that is, each plug is limitedly connected to each sleeve, and its limited connection method is the connection method of the prior art. For example, it can be connected by a clamping method, a quick connector connection method, or a flange connection method. The connection method between the plug and the sleeve is not limited to the connection methods listed above, as long as it is a method that can realize the connection of the pipe fittings. The distance between each heat dissipation unit group is determined by the thickness of the double-sided water-cooled power module 4 and the silver paste, and has nothing to do with the connecting pipe fittings, so as to adapt to double-sided water-cooled power modules 4 of different thicknesses. In addition, the connecting pipe fittings with limits are connected to the heat dissipation unit by solder paste welding, which can make the entire structure more stable and also reduce the production process steps.
[0069] The heat dissipation unit group of the present invention includes two heat dissipation units and a connecting pipe with a limit. The heat dissipation unit groups can be stacked by connecting in series, and the heat sink can be freely expanded. For example, two heat dissipation units are connected in one group, clamping a double-sided water-cooled power module, and interconnecting through a double-sided silver sintering process to dissipate heat for the power module; specifically, each heat dissipation unit has a through water inlet and a water outlet, and a cooling inner cavity and a cooling channel are formed between the water inlet and the water outlet; each heat dissipation unit group is also connected by a pipe with a limit; on the one hand, the connecting pipe with a limit connects the above-mentioned multiple heat dissipation unit groups to form a coolant flow channel, and the coolant enters and flows into the water inlet of each heat dissipation unit in turn, and then is discharged from the water outlet in turn. In the process of the coolant flowing in each cooling cavity, heat exchange is formed with the clamped double-sided water-cooled power module, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the power module; on the other hand, since the connecting pipe has a limit, the distance between each scattered unit group is determined by the thickness of the power module and the silver paste, and has nothing to do with the connecting pipe, so as to adapt to power modules of different thicknesses. In addition, the connecting pipe with a limiter is connected to the heat dissipation unit by soldering with solder paste, which can make the entire structure more stable and also reduce the production process steps.
[0070] Reference Figure 1-10 A double-sided water-cooled radiator based on a silver sintering connection process, wherein a pin-fin radiator 5 is arranged in the cooling inner cavity of the radiator A-11, the radiator A-12, the radiator B-21, the radiator B-22, the radiator C-31 and the radiator C-32, and the pin-fin radiator 5 is cylindrical or elliptical, and the pin-fin radiator 5 includes a copper plate and a plurality of pins arranged on the copper plate, and the pin-fin radiator 5 adopts a pin-needle heat dissipation mode, and the pin-needle heat dissipation is to increase the heat dissipation area by using a fine needle structure, thereby improving the heat dissipation area. High heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, the PIN heat sink needle body 5 divides the cooling inner cavity into two parts to form two flow cavities. It should be noted that the pin-fin heat sink 5 does not completely block the cooling inner cavity. The needles on the PIN heat sink needle body 5 do not contact each other. In this way, when cooling water enters a flow cavity in the cooling inner cavity, the cooling water in the flow cavity will slowly flow into another flow cavity through the non-contact PIN heat sink needle bodies 5, but the cooling water in the flow cavity will quickly enter the flow cavity of another heat sink on the next vertical line.
[0071] The present invention provides a double-sided water-cooled radiator based on a silver sintering connection process, which can be composed of multiple heat dissipation units. The two sides of the radiator are provided with water inlet and outlet channels to realize parallel connection of multiple heat dissipation units. Two heat dissipation units and a double-sided water-cooled power module form a "sandwich" structure, and a semiconductor power heat dissipation unit is formed through a silver sintering process. The heat dissipation unit is composed of a heat dissipation base plate with a pin fin and a top end cover, and a cooling inner cavity is formed between the two, and the coolant flows through the pin fin on the cooling channel.
[0072] The present invention adopts a silver sintering process to achieve connection with the heat dissipation unit, which overcomes the defects of the traditional thermal conductive silicone grease process connection, can improve the cooling efficiency, and achieve high power density output of the power unit; the parallel connection of the heat dissipation units realizes the modularization and combination of the radiator, which can shorten the product development cycle.

[0076] The above-mentioned bosses need to be pre-processed with silver plating, and the above-mentioned double-sided water-cooled power module 4 is connected to the opposite surface of the bosses through a double-sided silver sintering process to dissipate heat for the power module.
[0077] The double-sided water-cooled radiator based on the silver sintering connection process provided by the present invention can be used in the fields of power units, electric vehicles, etc.
