The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application.

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once a certain item is defined in an accompanying drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0042] Traditional press-fit power modules all use direct pressure contact on the chip to interconnect circuits. The hard contact between solids has a certain contact thermal resistance. At the same time, it is difficult to keep the junction temperature between chips consistent. At the same time, the thermal capacity of the upper pressure block of traditional press-fit is small, and the chip does not have a high surge resistance capability.

[0043] In the power module unit of this embodiment, both sides of the chip are interconnected by welding or sintering, and a copper bridge is used above the chip to sinter multiple chips 20 in parallel, and the copper bridge is a guide current carrier 30. The technical solution of this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0044] 1. Compared with direct pressure contact, the welding or sintering layer reduces the contact thermal resistance. At the same time, the copper bridge can play a role in heat distribution, enhancing the heat dissipation and surge resistance of the chip.

[0045] 2. Since silicon carbide chips are relatively brittle, resulting in poor pressure-bearing capacity, the technical solution of this embodiment is to set a conductive load-balancing component 30 under the crimping assembly 40. The conductive load-balancing component 30 is pressed on the top of the chip, and the pressure can be dispersed through the conductive load-balancing component 30, ensuring that the chip is subjected to less pressure.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the power module unit of this embodiment includes: a first conductive plate 10, a plurality of chips 20, a conductive equalizing member 30, a crimping assembly 40 and a second conductive plate 50. The plurality of chips 20 are arranged on the first conductive plate 10 at intervals. The conductive equalizing member 30 is arranged on a side of the plurality of chips 20 away from the first conductive plate 10, and the conductive equalizing member 30 includes a load balancing plate 31, and the load balancing plate 31 is provided with a plurality of conductive parts 311 connected to the plurality of chips 20 in a one-to-one correspondence. The crimping assembly 40 is arranged on a side of the conductive equalizing member 30 away from the plurality of chips 20, and the crimping assembly 40 includes a plurality of crimping members, and the plurality of crimping members are all in abutment with the load balancing plate 31. The second conductive plate 50 is arranged on a side of the crimping assembly 40 away from the conductive equalizing member 30.

[0047] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, a plurality of chips 20 are arranged on the first conductive plate 10, and the plurality of chips 20 are arranged at intervals. A conductive equalizing member 30 is arranged on a side of the plurality of chips 20 away from the first conductive plate 10, and the conductive equalizing member 30 includes an equalizing plate 31, and a plurality of conductive parts 311 are arranged on the equalizing plate 31, and the plurality of conductive parts 311 are connected one by one with the plurality of chips 20. A crimping assembly 40 is arranged on a side of the conductive equalizing member 30 away from the plurality of chips 20, and the crimping assembly includes a plurality of crimping members, and the plurality of crimping members are all in abutment with the equalizing plate. The second conductive plate 50 is arranged on a side of the crimping assembly 40 away from the conductive equalizing member 30. Through the above arrangement, the first conductive plate 10 can be conducted with the plurality of chips 20, and the second conductive plate 50 can also be conducted with the plurality of chips 20, so that current can flow between the first conductive plate 10, the plurality of chips 20 and the second conductive plate 50. A conductive load-balancing member 30 is arranged between the multiple chips 20 and the crimping assembly 40. The multiple conductive parts 311 of the conductive load-balancing member 30 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple chips 20, and the multiple conductive parts 311 are arranged on the load-balancing board 31. The multiple crimping members are all in contact with the load-balancing board 31, so that the pressure of the multiple crimping members can be dispersed through the load-balancing board 31, and then transferred to the multiple conductive parts 311, and then the pressure is transferred to the chip 20 corresponding to the conductive part 311 through each conductive part 311, that is, the multiple chips 20 and the conductive load-balancing member 30 share the pressure of the crimping assembly 40 together, avoiding the direct contact between the multiple crimping members and the multiple chips 20, and reducing the probability that the chip 20 may be damaged under the action of pressure. When there is a difference in the pressure of the multiple crimping members, in the prior art, the chip that is in contact with the crimping member with the greatest pressure is subjected to the greatest pressure and is easily damaged. In the present application, by providing an equalizing plate 31, and multiple crimping parts abutting against the equalizing plate 31, the pressure of all crimping parts is dispersed through the equalizing plate, so that the pressure on each chip 20 is more uniform, and the maximum pressure on a single chip 20 is much smaller than that in the prior art, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the chip 20 subjected to the maximum pressure. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem in the related art that the chip is subjected to a large pressure and has a high probability of being damaged.

[0048] The power module unit of this embodiment is applied to a silicon carbide power module unit.

[0049] It should be noted that the crimping part includes a disc spring and a conductor, the conductor includes a first conductive column and a second conductive column, the diameter of the first conductive column is greater than the diameter of the second conductive column, the second conductive column is inserted into the disc spring, the first end of the disc spring abuts against the side of the second conductive column facing the second conductive plate 50, the second end of the disc spring abuts against the side of the second conductive plate 50 facing the first conductive plate 10, the first end of the second conductive column is connected to one end of the first conductive column facing the second conductive plate 50, and the second end of the second conductive column is connected to the second conductive plate 50.

The surface of the connecting recess 312 facing the first conductive plate 10 is an arc surface 3121, and the middle part of the arc surface 3121 protrudes in a direction away from the first conductive plate 10. A plurality of connecting recesses 312 can be connected to a plurality of protrusions 3111, so that the structural strength of the load-balancing plate 31 is better. The middle part of the arc surface 3121 protrudes in a direction away from the first conductive plate 10, so that the distance between the arc surface 3121 and the first conductive plate 10 can be increased, so as to avoid the short distance between the arc surface 3121 and the first conductive plate 10, which leads to direct conduction between the load-balancing plate 31 and the first conductive plate 10, thereby causing damage to the power module.

The first conductive plate 10 is connected to the drain of the silicon carbide MOSFET chip. The second conductive plate 50 is connected to the source of the silicon carbide MOSFET chip. The silicon carbide SBD is anti-parallel to the silicon carbide MOSFET chip, and plays a role of reverse freewheeling in the shutdown phase of the silicon carbide MOSFET chip. In addition, the silicon carbide SBD diode has a smaller body diode voltage drop than the silicon carbide MOSFET, which also reduces the switching loss of the power module unit.

[0065] A silicon carbide MOSFET chip is connected to each of the first protrusion 31111, the second protrusion 31112, the fourth protrusion 31114, the fifth protrusion 31115, the sixth protrusion 31116, the seventh protrusion 31117, the eighth protrusion 31118, the ninth protrusion 31119, the eleventh protrusion 311111 and the twelfth protrusion 311112, and a silicon carbide SBD is connected to each of the third protrusion 31113 and the tenth protrusion 311110.

Through the above arrangement, the third recess 3124 can connect the second convex portion 31112 and the fourth convex portion 31114, and because the partial structure of the third recess 3124 protruding from the fourth convex portion 31114 in the first direction is respectively connected to the first recess 3122 and the second recess 3123, the connection between the fourth convex portion 31114 and the first convex portion 31111, the second convex portion 31112 and the third convex portion 31113 is more stable.

[0067] The size of the sixth recess 3127 in the first direction is greater than the size of the seventh protrusion 31117 in the first direction, and the partial structure of the sixth recess 3127 protruding from the seventh protrusion 31117 in the first direction is respectively connected to the fourth recess 3125 and the fifth recess 3126. Through the above arrangement, the sixth recess 3127 can connect the fifth protrusion 31115 and the seventh protrusion 31117, and because the partial structure of the sixth recess 3127 protruding from the seventh protrusion 31117 in the first direction is respectively connected to the fourth recess 3125 and the fifth recess 3126, the connection between the seventh protrusion 31117 and the third protrusion 31113, the fifth protrusion 31115 and the sixth protrusion 31116 is more stable.

[0068] The size of the ninth recess 31210 in the first direction is greater than the size of the fourth protrusion 31114 in the first direction, and the partial structure of the ninth recess 31210 protruding from the fourth protrusion 31114 in the first direction is respectively connected to the seventh recess 3128 and the eighth recess 3129. Through the above arrangement, the ninth recess 31210 can not only connect the ninth protrusion 31119 with the fourth protrusion 31114, but also because the partial structure of the ninth recess 31210 protruding from the fourth protrusion 31114 in the first direction is respectively connected to the seventh recess 3128 and the eighth recess 3129, the connection between the fourth protrusion 31114 and the eighth protrusion 31118, the ninth protrusion 31119 and the tenth protrusion 311110 is more stable.

[0069] The dimension of the twelfth recess 31213 in the first direction is greater than the dimension of the seventh protrusion 31117 in the first direction, and the partial structure of the twelfth recess 31213 protruding from the seventh protrusion 31117 in the first direction is respectively connected to the tenth recess 31211 and the eleventh recess 31212. Through the above arrangement, the twelfth recess 31213 can not only connect the eleventh protrusion 311111 and the seventh protrusion 31117, but also because the partial structure of the twelfth recess 31213 protruding from the seventh protrusion 31117 in the first direction is respectively connected to the tenth recess 31211 and the eleventh recess 31212, the connection between the seventh protrusion 31117 and the tenth protrusion 311110, the eleventh protrusion 311111 and the twelfth protrusion 311112 is more stable.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the size of the equalizing plate 31 in the first direction is greater than the size of the equalizing plate 31 in the second direction. This allows the equalizing plate 31 to be provided with more protrusions 3111 in the first direction, which is convenient for connecting with multiple chips 20 and arranging the crimping assembly 40.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, there is a preset distance between the joint of the arc surface 3121 and the convex portion 3111 and the surface of the convex portion 3111 facing the first conductive plate 10. The above arrangement makes the distance between the arc surface 3121 and the first conductive plate 10 larger, avoiding direct conduction between the connecting concave portion 312 and the first conductive plate 10.

[0072] It should be noted that if Fig. 9 As shown, the value of the preset distance is a, and a is greater than the thickness of the chip 20. This arrangement increases the insulation distance between the junction of the arc surface 3121 and the convex portion 3111 and the chip 20, reduces the electric field strength between the arc surface 3121, the chip 20 and the first conductive plate 10, and avoids the occurrence of local discharge or even breakdown.

[0073] When current flows, it flows through the first conductive plate 10, multiple chips 20, the conductive equalizing component 30, the crimping assembly 40 and the second conductive plate 50 in sequence, that is, the conductive equalizing component 30 is the low-voltage side of the power module unit, and the first conductive plate 10 is the high-voltage side of the power module unit.

By providing the hollow portion 34, the distance between the protrusions 3111 disposed adjacent to the hollow portion 34 is increased, so that the multiple protrusions 3111 are prevented from being directly connected when in use, and the distance between the load-balancing plate 31 and the first conductive plate 10 is prevented from being directly connected to each other due to a small distance between the load-balancing plate 31 and the first conductive plate 10. The first notch portion 32 and the second notch portion 33 are respectively disposed at two opposite ends of the load-balancing plate 31, and the hollow portion 34 is disposed in the middle of the load-balancing plate 31, so that the positions of the first notch portion 32, the hollow portion 34 and the second notch portion 33 are more reasonable, so that some of the multiple chips 20 are connected to the third conductive plate 60 and some of the multiple chips 20 are connected to the fourth conductive plate 70.

Through the above arrangement, the third plate segment 315 can connect the first plate segment 313 and the second plate segment 314, and the fourth plate segment 316 can connect the first plate segment 313 and the second plate segment 314, so that the connection between the first plate segment 313 and the second plate segment 314 is more stable, and the structural strength of the load-balancing plate 31 is better, so that when the load-balancing plate 31 abuts against the crimping assembly 40, the load-balancing plate 31 can have a stronger load-bearing capacity.

[0082] In other embodiments, a plurality of third protrusions 31113 may be provided, and a silicon carbide SBD is connected to each third protrusion 31113. The plurality of third protrusions 31113 are arranged on the first plate segment 313 at intervals along the first direction.

Among the multiple tenth protrusions 311110 arranged on the second plate segment 314, two tenth protrusions 311110 farthest from the middle of the load-balancing plate 31 are connected to the ninth protrusion 31119, and the other is connected to the eleventh protrusion 311111.

[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the first plate segment 313 is greater than the length of the third plate segment 315, the first notch portion 32 is arranged between the first plate segment 313, the second plate segment 314 and the third plate segment 315, the first notch portion 32 is located on the side of the third plate segment 315 away from the fourth plate segment 316, the second notch portion 33 is arranged between the first plate segment 313, the second plate segment 314 and the fourth plate segment 316, the second notch portion 33 is located on the side of the fourth plate segment 316 away from the first plate segment 313, and the hollow portion 34 is arranged between the first plate segment 313, the second plate segment 314, the third plate segment 315 and the fourth plate segment 316. Through the above arrangement, the position arrangement of the first notch portion 32, the hollow portion 34 and the second notch portion 33 is more reasonable. The length of the first plate segment 313 is greater than the length of the third plate segment 315, and more convex portions 3111 can be arranged on the first plate segment 313, which is convenient for connecting with multiple chips 20.

[0085] It should be noted that the length of the first plate segment 313 is equal to the length of the second plate segment 314. The length of the fourth plate segment 316 is equal to the length of the third plate segment 315. The length of the first plate segment 313 refers to the distance between the two side walls of the first plate segment 313 in the first direction, the length of the second plate segment 314 refers to the distance between the two side walls of the second plate segment 314 in the second direction, the length of the third plate segment 315 refers to the distance between the two side walls of the third plate segment 315 in the second direction, and the length of the fourth plate segment 316 refers to the distance between the two side walls of the fourth plate segment 316 in the first direction.

[0086] The first convex portion 31111, the second convex portion 31112, the third convex portion 31113, the fifth convex portion 31115 and the sixth convex portion 31116 are sequentially arranged on the first plate section 313 along the first direction. The eighth convex portion 31118, the ninth convex portion 31119, the tenth convex portion 311110, the eleventh convex portion 311111 and the twelfth convex portion 311112 are sequentially arranged on the second plate section 314 along the first direction. The first convex portion 31111, the first notch portion 32 and the eighth convex portion 31118 are sequentially arranged along the second direction. The sixth convex portion 31116, the second notch portion 33 and the twelfth convex portion 311112 are sequentially arranged along the second direction. The fourth convex portion 31114, the hollow portion and the seventh convex portion 31117 are sequentially arranged along the first direction.

[0087] like Figure 8 As shown, in the direction from the first conductive plate 10 to the second conductive plate 50, the distance between the two side surfaces of the conductive equalizing member 30 in the second direction gradually increases, so that the side of the conductive equalizing member 30 away from the first conductive plate 10 has a larger area, which is convenient for abutting with the crimping assembly 40 and also makes the structural strength of the conductive equalizing member 30 better.

[0088] One of the two side surfaces of the conductive load-balancing component 30 in the second direction is composed of a side of the first plate segment 313 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the first protrusion 31111 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the second protrusion 31112 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the third protrusion 31113 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the fifth protrusion 31115 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the sixth protrusion 31116 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the first recess 3122 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the second recess 3123 away from the second plate segment 314, a side of the fourth recess 3125 away from the second plate segment 314, and a side of the fifth recess 3126 away from the second plate segment 314. One side is composed of, and the other side is composed of a side of the second plate segment 314 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the eighth protrusion 31118 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the ninth protrusion 31119 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the tenth protrusion 311110 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the eleventh protrusion 311111 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the twelfth protrusion 311112 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the seventh recess 3128 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the eighth recess 3129 away from the first plate segment 313, a side of the tenth recess 31211 away from the first plate segment 313 and a side of the eleventh recess 31212 away from the first plate segment 313.

[0089] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross section of the first notch portion 32 is rectangular, the cross section of the second notch portion 33 is rectangular, and the cross section of the hollow portion 34 is circular. The cross section of the first notch portion 32 is rectangular, so that the distance between the end adjacent to the first plate segment 313 and the first notch portion 32 and the end adjacent to the second plate segment 314 and the second notch portion 33 is large, avoiding direct conduction between the end adjacent to the first plate segment 313 and the first notch portion 32 and the end adjacent to the second plate segment 314 and the second notch portion 33, which affects the use of the power module unit.

[0090] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the conductive load balancing member 30 is connected to the plurality of chips 20 by a welding process or a sintering process. The conductive load balancing member 30 can be connected to the plurality of chips 20 by a welding process or a sintering process.

[0091] It should be noted that since the side of the equalizing plate 31 away from the chip 20 is a plane, and the surface where the protrusion 3111 contacts the chip 20 is a plane, it is possible to use a sintering process to connect the chip 20 to the first conductive plate 10, and to use a sintering process to connect the conductive equalizing member 30 to the side of multiple chips 20 away from the first conductive plate 10.

[0092] When the chip 20 is connected to the first conductive plate 10 through a welding process, the power module unit further includes a plurality of welding pieces, and the plurality of welding pieces are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of chips 20 , and each welding piece is arranged between the chip 20 and the first conductive plate 10 .

[0093] The distance between the two side walls of the third protrusion 31113 in the first direction is greater than the distance between the two side walls of the first protrusion 31111 in the first direction, and is also greater than the distance between the two side walls of the second protrusion 31112 in the first direction. Such a setting can make the third protrusion 31113 have a stronger bearing capacity and a larger abutment area with the chip 20.

[0094] like Fig. 9 As shown, the minimum distance between the arc surface of the first recess 3122 and the side of the load-balancing plate 31 away from the first conductive plate 10 is c.

[0095] like Fig.10 As shown, the thickness of the conductive carrier is e.

[0096] like Fig.10 As shown, the minimum distance between the arc surface of the second recess 3123 and the side of the load-balancing plate 31 away from the first conductive plate 10 is b.

[0097] like Figure 8 As shown, the minimum distance between the arc surface of the third recess 3124 and the side of the load balancing plate 31 away from the first conductive plate 10 is d.

[0098] The value of c is between 1.5 and 1.8 mm. Such a setting can ensure that the first recess 3122 has a better bearing capacity.

[0099] The value of e is between 4 and 4.3 mm. Such a setting can ensure that the conductive load-bearing component 30 has a better load-bearing capacity.

[0100] The ratio of the value of c to the value of e is between 0.3 and 0.5. Such a setting can ensure that the conductive equalizing load-bearing component 30 has a better load-bearing capacity, and can also ensure the spacing between the top of the arc surface and the first conductive plate 10, so as to achieve insulation between the conductive equalizing load-bearing component 30 and the first conductive plate 10, and avoid direct conduction between the conductive equalizing load-bearing component 30 and the first conductive plate 10, that is, avoid current flowing directly between the conductive equalizing load-bearing component 30 and the first conductive plate 10 without passing through the chip 20.

[0101] The values ​​of c, b and d are equal. Such a setting can facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the conductive load-balancing component and also enable the pressure of the crimping assembly 40 to be better dispersed to the conductive load-balancing component 30, ensuring that the chip is subjected to uniform force.

[0102] like Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the power module unit further includes a housing 80 , and the crimping assembly 40 is disposed in the housing 80 .

The above-mentioned power module unit is provided with a conductive load-balancing member 30, which can disperse the pressure of the crimping assembly 40 to a plurality of chips 20, and the conductive load-balancing member 30 can share the pressure of the crimping assembly 40 with the plurality of chips 20, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the chip 20 during use. The silicon carbide probability module having the above-mentioned power module unit also has the above-mentioned advantages.

[0104] The power module of this embodiment is applied to a silicon carbide power module.

[0105] It should be noted that the power module further includes a tube shell 100 , and a plurality of power module units are arranged in the shell. The power module further includes a control board 110 , and the control board is connected to the gates of the plurality of chips 20 .

[0106] The control board 110 is a PCB board. A plurality of connection convex plates are arranged on the PCB board. The end of the elastic adjustment member away from the first conductive plate 10 is lower than the side of the second conductive plate 50 away from the first conductive plate, that is, the end of the third conductive column away from the first conductive plate 10 is lower than the side of the second conductive plate 50 away from the first conductive plate. The plurality of connection convex plates are connected to the end of the elastic adjustment member away from the first conductive plate 10.

[0107] The power module further includes a base plate 120 , and a plurality of second conductive plates 50 are disposed on the base plate 120 at intervals.

[0109] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0110] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure.
