For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0040] An embodiment of the present invention provides a junction temperature distribution measurement system for a press-fit IGBT device, comprising a junction temperature distribution measurement device and an isothermal heat dissipation device, a press-fit packaging IGBT device and a timing PCB control device respectively controlled by the junction temperature distribution measurement device.

[0041] Specifically, the press-fit packaged IGBT device includes a plurality of parallel-connected chips, and the timing PCB control device and the junction temperature distribution measurement device are both electrically connected to the press-fit packaged IGBT device.

[0042] Furthermore, the processing flow of the junction temperature distribution measuring device includes:

[0043] Step S1: determining a timing control signal of a timing PCB control device based on a preset timing, and applying a voltage to a gate terminal of each parallel chip based on the timing control signal;

[0044] Step S2: using a temperature-sensitive electrical parameter method to collect the junction temperature of each parallel chip in each cycle, and arranging the junction temperature of each parallel chip at all collection moments in ascending order according to the collection time sequence as the junction temperature time series of each parallel chip;

[0045] Step S3: under the control of the multi-way relay module, the gate voltages of all parallel chips are sequentially set to a preset heating voltage, so that each parallel chip is turned on in turn, and the saturation voltage drop of each parallel chip and the temperature of the crimped packaged IGBT device are recorded;

[0046] Step S4: Taking the temperature of the press-fit packaged IGBT device at each moment as the horizontal axis and the saturation voltage drop of each parallel chip at each moment as the vertical axis, a calibration junction temperature distribution point diagram of the press-fit packaged IGBT device is obtained, and all points in the calibration junction temperature distribution point diagram are connected in chronological order as a calibration junction temperature distribution curve of the press-fit packaged IGBT device.

[0047] For details, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a process flow chart of a junction temperature distribution measurement device in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the acquisition of a calibrated junction temperature distribution curve in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] It should be noted that the timing PCB control device includes a plurality of first control modules, a second control module and a multi-way relay module, the output end of the first control module is connected to the multi-way relay module, and the output end of the multi-way relay module is connected to the second control module. The timing PCB control device also includes a plurality of leads, and the timing PCB control device and each parallel chip are individually connected through the leads.

[0049] Before measuring the junction temperature distribution of the press-fit packaged IGBT device, the first multi-way selection signal and the second multi-way selection signal are determined based on a preset timing, the multi-way relay module is controlled based on the first multi-way selection signal, and the second control module is controlled based on the second multi-way selection signal to achieve individual control of each parallel chip.

[0050] It should be further explained that the multi-channel relay module includes several relays. Under the control of the timing control signal, the operating stages of all relays include a cooling stage and a heating stage. The relays perform corresponding state switching under the control of the timing control signal, and the state switching is completed in the cooling stage.

[0051] It should be further explained that, since the junction temperature distribution of each chip is the same under periodic steady-state conditions, the junction temperature distribution of each chip in one cycle can be equivalently obtained by sequentially measuring the junction temperature of each chip in different cycles. It should be pointed out that in the timing of gate individual control, the gate of the parallel chip in the device under test may be turned on later or turned off earlier than the gate of the series device, which may cause the load current to flow through only some of the parallel chips. In this regard, a dead time of hundreds of μs is set in the gate control timing to avoid such a situation.

[0052] This embodiment designs and develops a timing PCB control device based on the timing coordination of multiple relays, which generates the required gate signals of each parallel chip through multiple selection of 2-way signals in different cycles. Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a timing PCB control device in one embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0053] Figure 3 In the control signal C 2 is the first multiplex selection signal, the control signal C 0 and C 1 is the second multiplex selection signal, the control signal C 0 It is 15V in the heating stage and 0V in the cooling stage, but the pulse width is slightly wider than the gate control signal of the series device to ensure the above-mentioned dead time. 1 The control signal C is a constant 15V voltage. 0 and C 1 They are connected to the normally open contacts and normally closed contacts of each relay respectively. Control signal C 2 It is used to control the switching of multiple relays between normally open and normally closed contacts. In the cooling stage of the i-th cycle, relay K i Switch to the normally open contact, and the rest of the relays remain in the normally closed contact. The relay has a millisecond response time. Switching the relay contacts during the heating stage may cause only part of the chip to conduct current. Therefore, the switching of the relay states in different cycles must be completed during the cooling stage, and the time point is generally selected at C 1 The signal falling edge delay is 0.1s. 2 The control can be used to change the signal C in different cycles. 0 and C 1 The above scheme can be easily integrated into the standard DC power cycle test, and only one control signal C is required. 0 and a multi-way relay system.

[0054] It should be noted that another key issue in multi-chip calibration is the need to ensure that the device is an isothermal body. The isothermal heat dissipation device is used to make the temperature of the surface of the press-fit packaged IGBT device evenly distributed.

[0055] Specifically, the isothermal heat dissipation device includes a vertical isothermal heat dissipation device and a horizontal isothermal heat dissipation device. The vertical isothermal heat dissipation device includes a first vertical isothermal heat dissipation device and a second vertical isothermal heat dissipation device. The first vertical isothermal heat dissipation device and the second vertical isothermal heat dissipation device are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the press-fit packaged IGBT device.

[0056] The horizontal isothermal heat dissipation device is arranged between the vertical isothermal heat dissipation device and the press-fit packaged IGBT device.

[0057] As an embodiment of the present application, the first vertical isothermal heat sink and the second vertical isothermal heat sink constitute a double-sided heat dissipation calibration fixture, and two heating plates with equal heating power are placed on the upper and lower sides of the press-fit packaged IGBT device, and the temperature gradients on both sides are offset to ensure that the internal temperature of the press-fit packaged IGBT device is uniformly distributed in the longitudinal direction. Considering that the internal heat source of the heating plate is a rod-shaped structure, which may cause uneven distribution of the device temperature in the lateral direction, this embodiment adds an aluminum plate as a buffer layer between the press-fit packaged IGBT device and the heating plate to ensure that the internal temperature of the press-fit packaged IGBT device is uniformly distributed in the lateral direction.

[0058] For details, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 Shown is a schematic diagram of an isothermal heat dissipation device in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a junction temperature distribution measurement device for a press-fit IGBT device, which includes a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements a junction temperature distribution measurement system for a press-fit IGBT device as described above.

[0060] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a computer program. When the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located executes the computer program, a junction temperature distribution measurement system for a press-fit IGBT device as described above is implemented.

[0061] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
