[0002] The Motor Controller Unit (MCU), also known as an inverter, is one of the key components (core three-electric system) of pure electric or hybrid vehicles. The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is one of the key components of the MCU and also the component that generates the most heat. The heat dissipation capacity of the IGBT chip greatly determines the maximum output power of the MCU. Therefore, the design of heat dissipation and cooling solutions for the IGBT chip has always been one of the key focuses of motor controller R&D. Double-sided heat dissipation IGBT chips can achieve double-sided heat dissipation, that is, the IGBT chip is sandwiched between heat sinks. Although this structure is simple and has good heat dissipation performance, this method is inconvenient for the fixed installation of the IGBT chip, as the chip can easily slide out between the other two heat sinks. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the following embodiments do not limit the invention covered by the claims. Furthermore, not all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are necessary for the inventive solution.

[0030] Those skilled in the art will understand that all directional references (e.g., above, below, up, up, down, down, top, bottom, left, right, vertical, horizontal, etc.) are used descriptively in the drawings to aid the reader's understanding and do not imply (e.g., limitations on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims) a limitation on the location, orientation, or use of the invention. Furthermore, some vague terms (e.g., substantially, certain, generally, etc.) may refer to slight inaccuracies or minor deviations in conditions, quantities, values, or dimensions, some of which are within manufacturing tolerances or allowable limits. Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a chip heat dissipation device includes a basic heat dissipation unit. The heat dissipation unit includes heat sinks 5 sandwiched between two sides of an IGBT chip 3. The pins of the chip 3 protrude from between the heat sinks 5. Figure 5 As shown, the IGBT chip 3 has an AC power pin 10 on one side and two DC power pins 11 on the other side. Each pin has a fixing hole for a screw to pass through. Pin locking members 4 are provided on both sides of the gap between the heat sink 5 and the heat dissipation unit for connecting the power pins on both sides. The pin locking members 4 are used to fix the pins together, and each pin locking member has a screw hole 14 corresponding to the fixing hole of the pin. The pin locking members 4 are engaged on both sides of the gap between the heat sink 5 to prevent the chip 3 from moving relative to the gap between the heat sink 5 and the heat sink 5.

[0032] The main body of the pin locking member 4 is a block shape, and the screw hole 14 is provided on the block shape. After the pin is bent, the fixing hole of the pin is coaxially aligned with the screw hole 14, so that the pin can be fixed to the block shape by screws.

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the AC power pin 10 is equipped with an AC power pin locking element 4, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the DC power pin 11 is represented by a DC power pin locking component 4. Since there are two DC power pins 11, the block-shaped body of the DC power pin locking component 4 is provided with two screw holes 14 for fixed connection. Insulating blocks 13 are provided around the screw holes 14 of the AC power pin locking component 4, and insulating blocks 13 are also provided on both sides of the two screw holes 14 of the DC power pin locking component 4. The insulating blocks 13 ensure electrical safety isolation between the power pins and other electrical components.

[0034] The stop body located on opposite sides of the pin is provided with a locking claw 16 for locking the pin. The locking claw 16 is located at the end of the stop body and is used to lock the side of the pin to prevent the pin from rotating relative to the block body.

[0035] The pin locking component is provided with anti-rotation holes 12 arranged parallel to the screw holes 14 for tooling positioning. During the locking process, the anti-rotation holes 12 cooperate with the tooling to prevent the power terminal locking structure from squeezing the AC side power terminals as the bolts rotate, thus eliminating the risk of damage to the AC side power terminals due to assembly stress during assembly.

[0036] like Figure 8As shown, connection holes 24 are distributed along the side of the heat sink 5. The heat sinks 5 are connected to each other through the connection holes 24. The connection holes 24 are higher than the side of the heat sink 5. The pin locking member is located between two adjacent connection holes 24. The connection holes 24 restrict the movement of the pin locking member along the side of the heat sink 5. The connection holes 24 are located on the guide posts, and the end face of the guide posts is coplanar with the side of the heat sink 5. They are used to limit the deformation of the heat sink 5, reduce the deformation of the heat sink 5, suppress the warping deformation of the heat sink 5, improve the effect of the thermal grease coating and pressing between the heat sink 5 and the IGBT, and ensure the high efficiency of double-sided heat dissipation of the IGBT.

[0037] The heat sink 5 is clamped between two opposing pressure plates 2, with the sides of the pressure plates 2 higher than the sides of the heat sink 5 to protect it. The pressure plate 2 assembly includes front and rear pressure plates 2, which are made of high-strength materials with strong resistance to deformation and vibration. Nuts are symmetrically riveted or threaded around the front pressure plate 2, and the front and rear pressure plates 2 are locked together with bolts to press the heat sink 5. The pressing force is transmitted from the pressure plates 2 to the plane of the heat sink 5 and the guide posts, thus clamping the IGBT. The plane of the heat sink 5 is the main pressure surface, and the guide posts on both sides are coplanar with the plane of the heat sink 5 to limit and reduce the deformation of the pressure plates 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, two heat dissipation units are arranged side by side between the pressure plates 2, that is, four heat dissipation plates 5 are included. The pressure plates 2 are provided with connection holes 24 corresponding to the connection holes 24 of the heat dissipation plates 5, and gaskets are spaced between the connection holes 24.

[0039] like Figure 9 As shown, the heat dissipation plate 5 is equipped with a water-cooling plate 25, and the water-cooling plate 25 has a water-cooling channel 22. Water flows through the water-cooling channel 22 to carry away heat and improve heat dissipation efficiency. Figure 10 As shown, the water-cooled plate 25 is provided with a water channel port 26 that connects the inside and outside of the water-cooled flow channel 22. The water channel ports 26 of adjacent water-cooled plates 25 are connected by docking. The connection method is simple and convenient, and the number of heat dissipation plates 5 can be flexibly combined as needed.

[0040] The water-cooling channel 22 is located on the other side of the water-cooling plate 25 opposite to the chip 3, to prevent the chip from squeezing and damaging the channel. The water-cooling channel 22 is provided with heat dissipation fins 21 to improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0041] A water nozzle 23 is provided at one end of one side of the water-cooled plate 25. A water nozzle 23 assembly 1 is also connected to the water-cooled plate 25. The water nozzle 23 assembly 1 includes a sealing ring and a water nozzle 23 body. The sealing ring is placed in the sealing ring groove 8. The water inlet end 7 of the water nozzle 23 and the water nozzle 23 on the water-cooled plate 25 on the water outlet side form a radial seal through the sealing ring. The other end of the water nozzle 23 is the water outlet end 9, which also forms a radial seal with the MCU housing. The water nozzle 23 assembly 1 is also provided with bolt holes 6 for connecting with the MCU housing.

[0042] The number of heat sinks can be set as needed, for example, Figure 1 As shown, this is the configuration with four heat sinks installed. Figure 11 As shown, this is the state with two heat sinks set up.

[0043] Although this document uses a number of technical terms, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of the invention; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of the invention. The order of actions, steps, etc., in the apparatus and methods shown in the specification and drawings can be implemented in any order unless otherwise expressly specified, and provided that the output of a preceding process is not used in a subsequent process. Similar sequential terms used for descriptive convenience (e.g., "firstly," "next," "secondly," "again," "then," etc.) do not imply that the actions must be performed in such an order.

[0044] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the described embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
