[0045] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0046] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 An inverter brick structure 100 according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the inverter brick structure 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a capacitor module 10 , a first heat sink 21 and a power module 30 .

[0048] Specifically, a first flow channel 11 is provided on one side surface of the capacitor module 10; a first heat sink 21 is installed on one side of the capacitor module 10, and the first heat sink 21 covers the opening of the first flow channel 11; the power module 30 is arranged on the side of the first heat sink 21 away from the capacitor module 10 and is connected to the first heat sink 21.

[0049] In this embodiment, a first flow channel groove 11 is set on the capacitor module 10, and a first heat sink 21 covers the opening of the first flow channel groove 11, so that the first heat sink 21 can cooperate with the first flow channel groove 11 of the capacitor module 10 to form a good flow channel cavity structure, and the coolant can flow stably in the first flow channel groove 11.

[0050] In this embodiment, a power module 30 is arranged on the side of the first heat sink 21 facing away from the capacitor module 10. When the inverter brick structure 100 is in operation, the heat generated by the power module 30 is transferred to the first heat sink 21, and the coolant can flow along the first flow channel to exchange heat with the first heat sink 21, so that the power module 30 can be well cooled and dissipated. At the same time, the coolant in the first flow channel groove 11 can absorb the heat generated by the capacitor module 10, so that the capacitor module 10 can be cooled and dissipated during the flow of the coolant.

[0051] It is understandable that when liquid cooling is used in the inverter brick structure 100 to dissipate heat and cool the power module 30 and the capacitor module 10, a closed flow channel structure needs to be formed so that the coolant can flow stably and perform cooling and heat dissipation operations. Therefore, in the relevant technology, it is often necessary to set flow channel plates, cover plates and other components to cooperate with the heat sink to form a flow channel, which results in a large number of parts in the inverter brick structure 100, and the overall structure volume of the capacitor module 10 and the power module 30 is large when the flow channel plate, cover plate and other components are arranged, which reduces the integrated arrangement effect of the capacitor module 10 and the power module 30, and makes the integration of the inverter brick structure 100 poor.

[0052] In this embodiment, a first flow channel groove 11 is provided in the capacitor module 10 and cooperates with the first heat sink 21 to form a flow channel structure. The structure is simple and the use of components such as a flow channel plate and a cover plate is omitted, so that the capacitor module 10 and the power module 30 are more compact when assembled and arranged, and the overall volume of the capacitor module 10, the power module 30 and the first heat sink 21 is smaller, thereby making the overall structure of the inverter brick structure 100 more compact and better integrated.

[0053] In this embodiment, the coolant in the first flow channel 11 can simultaneously dissipate heat and cool the capacitor module 10 and the power module 30, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the inverter brick structure 100 is greatly improved. The coolant flows in the first flow channel 11 to dissipate heat from the capacitor module 10, which can eliminate the use of thermal pads, thermal conductive adhesives, etc., thereby reducing the cost of the inverter brick structure 100 and making the overall structure of the inverter brick structure 100 more compact and more integrated.

[0054] In this embodiment, a first flow channel 11 is provided on one side surface of the capacitor module 10, and the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30 are both arranged on one side of the capacitor module 10. The capacitor module 10, the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30 can be stacked, with a simple structure and convenient assembly. The first heat sink 21 is installed on the capacitor module 10, and the power module 30 is connected to the first heat sink 21, which can well meet the modular design requirements of the inverter brick structure 100.

[0055] According to the inverter brick structure 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a first flow channel groove 11 is arranged on the capacitor module 10, and a first heat sink 21 covers the opening of the first flow channel groove 11. The power module 30 is arranged on the side of the first heat sink 21 away from the capacitor module 10 and is connected to the first heat sink 21. The structure is simple, the arrangement is compact, and the heat dissipation efficiency is high. The use of components can be greatly reduced, the cost can be reduced, and the overall structural integration of the inverter brick structure 100 can be higher.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 As shown, at least one of the capacitor module 10 and the first heat sink 21 may be provided with a first mounting groove 12, and the first mounting groove 12 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the first flow channel groove 11. The inverter brick structure 100 may also include: a first seal 71, the first seal 71 is provided in the first mounting groove 12, and the first seal 71 is sealed and connected between the capacitor module 10 and the first heat sink 21.

[0057] In the present embodiment, a first sealing member 71 is provided to be sealed and connected between the capacitor module 10 and the first heat sink 21, so as to play a good sealing role for the flow channel cavity structure formed by the first flow channel groove 11 and the first heat sink 21, and to effectively prevent leakage of the coolant, so that the inverter brick structure 100 can obtain a stable and good heat dissipation effect during operation and can operate stably and reliably.

[0058] In this embodiment, a first mounting groove 12 is provided in at least one of the capacitor module 10 and the first heat sink 21, and the first seal 71 is provided in the first mounting groove 12. The structure is simple, and the first seal 71 is conveniently assembled and fixed between the capacitor module 10 and the first heat sink 21. The first mounting groove 12 can limit and position the first seal 71 to a certain extent, so that the first seal 71 can be stably arranged around the outer periphery of the first flow channel groove 11, so that the capacitor module 10 and the first heat sink 21 and the first seal 71 are conveniently assembled and arranged, and the first seal 71 can be stably and reliably sealed and connected between the first heat sink 21 and the capacitor module 10.

[0059] For example, the capacitor module 10 may be provided with a first mounting groove 12, or the first heat sink 21 may be provided with a first mounting groove 12, or both the first heat sink 21 and the capacitor module 10 may be provided with a first mounting groove 12, and the first mounting groove 12 may be reasonably provided according to assembly and processing requirements.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 As shown, the capacitor module 10 may include: a capacitor housing and a capacitor core, the capacitor core is arranged inside the capacitor housing, the first flow channel 11 is arranged on one side surface of the capacitor housing, and the first flow channel 11 and the capacitor core are isolated by a part of the capacitor housing.

[0061] In this embodiment, a first flow channel 11 is formed on the capacitor housing of the capacitor module 10, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. The capacitor housing can well seal and protect the capacitor core, so that the capacitor module 10 can operate stably and well.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 5 As shown, the capacitor housing can be a plastic part, which can reduce the material cost of the capacitor housing and make the capacitor housing have a good electrical insulation effect. The plastic part is easy to process and shape, which can facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the capacitor module 10.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the capacitor housing may be a plastic part, and the first heat sink 21 may be a metal part.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first heat sink 21 is set as a metal part, so that the first heat sink 21 has good thermal conductivity, so that the first heat sink 21 can have a good heat dissipation effect on the power module 30 and the capacitor module 10. For example, the first heat sink 21 can be an iron part or a copper part.

[0065] In this embodiment, the capacitor housing is made of plastic, which can provide good insulation and separation for the capacitor core and the first heat sink 21 , and enable the capacitor module 10 and the first heat sink 21 to be tightly assembled together, thereby meeting the assembly requirements of the inverter brick structure 100 .

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the inverter brick structure 100 may further include a second heat sink 22 , which is connected to the power module 30 and arranged on a side of the power module 30 away from the first heat sink 21 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the inverter brick structure 100 is provided with a second heat sink 22, which is connected to the power module 30 and arranged on one side of the power module 30 separated from the first heat sink 21. The structure is simple. The second heat sink 22 can cooperate with the first heat sink 21 to perform heat dissipation operations on the power module 30 on both sides of the power module 30, so that the power module 30 can obtain a better heat dissipation effect, so that the power module 30 can operate more stably, and then the inverter brick structure 100 can operate more stably.

[0068] In this embodiment, the second heat sink 22 is arranged on a side of the power module 30 away from the first heat sink 21 , and the structure is simple and the arrangement is reasonable.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30 can be connected by welding, or a heat conductive member can be filled between the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30; the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30 can be connected by welding, or a heat conductive member can be filled between the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first heat sink 21 is welded to the power module 30, which can make the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30 more securely assembled and make the heat transfer between the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30 more efficient, so that the first heat sink 21 can have a better heat dissipation effect on the power module 30.

[0071] In this embodiment, a heat conductive member is filled between the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30. The heat conductive member can play a certain connection role, so that the power module 30 can be assembled and connected with the first heat sink 21 more stably. The heat conductive member can improve the efficiency of heat transfer between the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30, so that the power module 30 can obtain a better heat dissipation effect. The connection method between the first heat sink 21 and the power module 30 can be reasonably set as needed.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30 may be connected by welding, or a heat conducting member may be filled between the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30 .

[0073] In this embodiment, the second heat sink 22 is welded to the power module 30, which can make the assembly of the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30 more secure and make the heat transfer between the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30 more efficient, so that the second heat sink 22 can have a better heat dissipation effect on the power module 30.

[0074] In this embodiment, a heat conductive member is filled between the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30. The heat conductive member can play a certain connection role, so that the power module 30 can be assembled and connected with the second heat sink 22 more stably. The heat conductive member can improve the efficiency of heat transfer between the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30, so that the power module 30 can obtain a better heat dissipation effect. The connection method between the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30 can be reasonably set as needed.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the first heat sink 21 may be provided with a first liquid inlet hole 201 and a first liquid outlet hole 202 connected to the first flow channel groove 11, and the second heat sink 22 may be provided with a second liquid inlet hole 203 and a second liquid outlet hole 204 penetrating the second heat sink 22 in the thickness direction of the second heat sink 22, the first liquid inlet hole 201 is connected between the second liquid inlet hole 203 and the first flow channel groove 11, and the first liquid outlet hole 202 is connected between the second liquid outlet hole 204 and the first flow channel groove 11.

[0076] In this embodiment, a first liquid inlet hole 201 and a first liquid outlet hole 202 are provided on the first heat sink 21. The first liquid inlet hole 201 and the first liquid outlet hole 202 are both connected to the first flow channel 11. When the inverter brick structure 100 is running, the coolant can enter the first flow channel 11 from the first liquid inlet hole 201, and the coolant then flows along the first flow channel 11 to exchange heat with the first heat sink 21 and the capacitor module 10. The coolant after heat exchange flows out from the first liquid outlet hole 202, so that the coolant can circulate and the power module 30 and the capacitor module 10 can obtain continuous heat dissipation and cooling.

[0077] In this embodiment, a second liquid inlet hole 203 and a second liquid outlet hole 204 are arranged on the second heat sink 22, the first liquid inlet hole 201 is connected between the second liquid inlet hole 203 and the first flow channel 11, and the first liquid outlet hole 202 is connected between the second liquid outlet hole 204 and the first flow channel 11. When the inverter brick structure 100 is in operation, the coolant can flow from the second liquid inlet hole 203 on the second heat sink 22 to the first liquid inlet hole 201 on the first heat sink 21, and the coolant then flows into the first flow channel 11. The coolant after heat exchange flows out from the first liquid outlet hole 202 to the second liquid outlet hole 204, and the coolant then flows out from the second liquid outlet hole 204.

[0078] In this embodiment, by setting the first liquid inlet hole 201 and the first liquid outlet hole 202 on the first heat sink 21, and setting the second liquid inlet hole 203 and the second liquid outlet hole 204 on the second heat sink 22, the second liquid inlet hole 203 can cooperate with the first liquid inlet hole 201 to form a flow channel structure for the coolant to flow into the first flow channel groove 11, and the second liquid outlet hole 204 can cooperate with the first liquid outlet hole 202 to form a flow channel structure for the coolant to flow out of the first flow channel groove 11, so that the coolant flow channel of the inverter brick structure 100 can be formed in the first heat sink 21 and the second heat sink 22, avoiding additional pipeline layout, greatly saving costs, and making the flow channel structure in the inverter brick structure 100 and the overall structure of the capacitor module 10, the first heat sink 21, the second heat sink 22 and the power module 30 more compact, thereby making the inverter brick structure 100 more integrated.

[0079] In some examples of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the inverter brick structure 100 may also include: a first support platform 211 and a second support platform 212, the first support platform 211 is arranged between the first heat dissipation plate 21 and the second heat dissipation plate 22, the first support platform 211 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the first liquid inlet hole 201, and defines a first connecting hole connecting the first liquid inlet hole 201 and the second liquid inlet hole 203; the second support platform 212 is arranged between the first heat dissipation plate 21 and the second heat dissipation plate 22, the second support platform 212 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the first liquid outlet hole 202, and defines a second connecting hole connecting the first liquid outlet hole 202 and the second liquid outlet hole 204.

[0080] In this embodiment, a first support platform 211 and a second support platform 212 are provided. The first support platform 211 can play a role of connecting and supporting the first heat sink 21 and the second heat sink 22, so that when the first heat sink 21 is assembled with the power module 30 and the second heat sink 22, a relatively stable gap space can be formed between the first heat sink 21 and the second heat sink 22 through the first support platform 211 and the second support platform 212, thereby avoiding the risk of excessive clamping of the power module 30 after the first heat sink 21 and the second heat sink 22 are assembled, causing damage to the power module 30, making it more convenient to assemble the power module 30 with the first heat sink 21 and the second heat sink 22.

[0081] In this embodiment, the first support platform 211 forms a first connecting hole, which is connected to the first liquid inlet hole 201 and the second liquid inlet hole 203, so that the first connecting hole can cooperate with the first liquid inlet hole 201 and the second liquid inlet hole 203 to form a good flow channel structure, so that the coolant can flow into the first flow channel groove 11 more stably.
