[0036] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A power module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the power module 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a heat dissipation base plate 1, a circuit board 2, a power semiconductor chip 3 and a housing 4.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there is one heat dissipation base plate 1 and six circuit boards 2. The six circuit boards 2 are arranged at intervals on one side of the thickness direction of the heat dissipation base plate 1. The heat dissipation base plate 1 is preferably made of a material with high thermal conductivity such as copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, etc., which can ensure that the power module 100 has good heat dissipation performance in high-power applications. The circuit board 2 is preferably a DBC substrate for electrical connection. The circuit board 2 can be fixed to the same heat dissipation base plate 1 by welding. The six circuit boards 2 are independent of each other and integrated on a heat dissipation base plate 1, which saves space without affecting the function, is conducive to reducing the volume of the power module 100, and further reduces the consumables cost of the power module 100.

[0039] Furthermore, a power semiconductor chip 3 is provided on the side of each circuit board 2 facing away from the heat dissipation base plate 1. The power semiconductor chip 3 is the core component of the power module 100 and is responsible for controlling and conducting power. The power semiconductor chip 3 can be a switching power semiconductor element such as an IGBT (Insulate-Gate Bipolar Transistor), a SIC-MOSFET (Silicon Carbide Transistor), a diode, etc., and can convert direct current and alternating current by switching the switch. There are one or more power semiconductor chips 3 on each of the six circuit boards 2, wherein three circuit boards 2 and the power semiconductor chips 3 thereon can constitute a three-phase full-bridge power module 100 unit. For example, the three circuit boards 2 on the left and the power semiconductor chips 3 thereon constitute the three-phase full-bridge power module 100 unit, which can be used to control the operation of the drive motor, and the three circuit boards 2 on the right and the power semiconductor chips 3 thereon constitute the three-phase full-bridge power module 100 unit, which can be used to control the operation of the generator. Thus, two three-phase full-bridge power module 100 units can be integrated on a heat dissipation base plate 1 to form a power module 100, which is convenient for partitioning and integrating different power segments of the power module 100, thereby meeting the control requirements of the power module 100 for the dual motors. While improving the power density, the sealed installation structure of the power module 100 can also be saved, thereby reducing the size and manufacturing cost of the power module 100. In addition, integrating two three-phase full-bridge power module 100 units into one power module 100 can avoid the phenomenon of obvious thermal steady-state temperature differences between different phases, which is conducive to protecting and extending the service life of the power module 100.

[0040] Furthermore, the shell 4 is an insulating member and includes a shell body 41. The shell body 41 and the circuit board 2 are arranged on the same side of the heat dissipation base plate 1 in the thickness direction and are arranged around the six circuit boards 2. The shell 4, as the outer protective layer of the power module 100, can be made of insulating materials such as plastic or nylon, and can provide electrical isolation and mechanical protection, thereby ensuring the safety performance and reliability of the power module 100. The shell 4 is arranged around the six circuit boards 2, and there is no need to separately set up an independent shell 4 for each circuit board 2 and the power semiconductor chip 3 thereon, which saves the volume occupied by the required structural parts and the shell 4, and can effectively reduce the size and production cost of the power module 100.

[0041] According to the power module 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging six circuit boards 2 with power semiconductor chips 3 at intervals on a heat dissipation base plate 1 and arranging them in a housing 4, the performance and reliability of the power module 100 can be guaranteed and the power density can be improved, while the installation structure and the volume occupied by the power module 100 can be saved, thereby reducing the size and manufacturing cost of the power module 100. In addition, the power module 100 can be applied to the application scenario of dual motor control and optimize the junction temperature difference between different phases, thereby protecting and extending the service life of the power module 100.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the circuit board 2 includes: a substrate 21, a first conductive layer 22 and a second conductive layer 23, the first conductive layer 22 and the second conductive layer 23 are respectively arranged on both sides of the substrate 21 in the thickness direction, the first conductive layer 22 is located on the side of the substrate 21 away from the heat dissipation base plate 1, wherein the power semiconductor chip 3 is connected to the first conductive layer 22, the side of the power semiconductor chip 3 close to the first conductive layer 22 can be connected to the first conductive layer 22 by welding, and the side of the power semiconductor chip 3 away from the first conductive layer 22 can be connected to the first conductive layer 22 by a metal conductive wire, a conductive metal block, etc., and the first conductive layer 22 has a circuit network, which can realize the electrical connection between the power semiconductor chip 3 and the circuit network to ensure the performance of the power module 100. The second conductive layer 23 is connected to the heat dissipation base plate 1, which plays a fixing role and can provide a heat dissipation path. The second conductive layer 23 and the heat dissipation base plate 1 can be connected by bonding using solder, bonding using metal nanoparticles, bonding based on metal diffusion, or bonding based on ultrasonic waves. The power semiconductor chip 3 generates heat during operation, and the heat is conducted to the heat dissipation base plate 1 through the first conductive layer 22 , the substrate 21 and the second conductive layer 23 of the circuit board 2 . The heat dissipation base plate 1 conducts the heat away by contacting with the medium, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation performance of the power module 100 .

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the substrate 21 is a ceramic plate, and the ceramic plate material has excellent insulation performance and thermal conductivity, which can improve the insulation capacity and heat dissipation effect of the power module 100. In addition, at least one of the first conductive layer 22 and the second conductive layer 23 is a copper piece or a copper alloy piece. It is convenient to connect the second conductive layer 23 to the heat dissipation base plate 1 by welding or the like. The copper piece or the copper alloy piece has good electrical conductivity, which can improve the conduction efficiency of the circuit, thereby ensuring the performance of the power module 100.

The fins 12 are arranged on the side of the plate body 11 away from the circuit board 2, and the heat of the power semiconductor chip 3 and the circuit board 2 can be conducted to the fins 12 through the plate body 11. The fins 12 can improve the heat dissipation effect by increasing the heat dissipation surface area, keep the temperature of the power semiconductor chip 3 within a reasonable range, and improve the stability and reliability of the power module 100.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fins 12 are pin fins or sheet fins, which can increase the heat dissipation surface area. The use of thin sheet heat dissipation fins 12 can better improve the heat dissipation efficiency and is more conducive to reducing the temperature of the power module 100. At the same time, the phase temperature difference can be reduced, thereby protecting the service life of the power module 100. Among them, the fins 12 are spaced apart in multiple groups, and the multiple groups correspond to multiple circuit boards 2 one by one. The circuit boards 2 and the fins 12 of the corresponding groups are arranged relatively in the thickness direction of the board body 11. The thin sheet fins are arranged side by side with multiple teeth and the power semiconductor chips 3 are locally dissipated in groups. The fins 12 are not arranged in the intermediate interval area, which can reduce the local flow resistance, enhance the heat dissipation effect, and improve the heat transfer coefficient of the heat dissipation base plate 1, thereby ensuring the performance and stability of the power module 100.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the shell 4 also includes a plurality of dividing ribs 42, which are arranged in the shell body 41 and are used to divide the space in the shell body 41 into six spaced sub-spaces. The six circuit boards 2 are respectively arranged in the six sub-spaces, which can ensure that each circuit board 2 has an independent space to avoid interference. The dividing ribs 42 can provide good electrical isolation and structural support, thereby improving the electrical isolation and structural strength inside the power module 100. In addition, silicone gel needs to be poured into the shell 4 during assembly, and the presence of the dividing ribs 42 also plays a role in blocking the colloid, thereby ensuring the performance and stability of the power module 100.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heat dissipation base plate 1 is a copper part, a copper alloy part, an aluminum part or an aluminum alloy part. The heat dissipation base plate 1 is set to a material with high thermal conductivity, which can ensure that the power module 100 has good heat dissipation performance in high-power applications. Furthermore, the shell 4 is a plastic or nylon part. Plastic and nylon are insulating materials, which is conducive to the shell 4 to play the role of electrical isolation and mechanical protection.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each circuit board 2 is connected to an AC output terminal 5, one end of the AC output terminal 5 extends out of the housing 4, and is used to connect to the three-phase output terminal and connect to equipment such as motors. Each circuit board 2 is connected to multiple spaced DC terminals 6, which are used to connect the DC power supply in the circuit to the equipment. The number of DC terminals 6 can be selected according to the power requirements of the specific embodiment. Among them, the AC output terminal 5 and the multiple DC terminals 6 are fixed to the housing 4 by injection molding or screw connection. In addition, each circuit board 2 is connected to a drive terminal 7 for controlling the working state of the power semiconductor chip 3. For example, the DC terminal 6 is connected to the bus capacitor, and the drive terminal 7 is connected to the control component for communication. After receiving the drive signal of the control component, the drive terminal 7 controls the power semiconductor chip 3 to work, and then the power module 100 drives the motor to work through the AC output terminal 5.

When overheating is detected, corresponding measures can be taken in time, such as adjusting the workload or triggering a fault protection mechanism, to prevent the power semiconductor chip 3 from overheating and damage, thereby ensuring the reliability and life of the power module 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, six circuit boards 2 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the heat dissipation base plate 1, which is convenient for connecting the circuit board 2 with the power semiconductor chip 3, and also leaves space for the connection between other components such as the power semiconductor chip 3, which can avoid interference between the circuit boards 2, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the power module 100.
