Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Power electronics play a vital role in renewable energy generation, special equipment, rail transit, and other fields, and are key to achieving power conversion. IGBTs, with their high voltage, high current, fast switching speed, and high efficiency, are widely used in power conversion equipment. However, IGBT modules are frequently subjected to repeated thermal and mechanical stresses during operation, which can lead to fatigue damage and pose a serious threat to the safe and stable operation of the system. Therefore, monitoring the damage status of IGBT modules is of great significance.
[0003] Among them, bond wire fatigue failure is a common failure of IGBT modules. Existing methods for monitoring bond wire damage status primarily rely on monitoring electrical quantities, including saturation voltage drop, short-circuit current, and gate voltage overshoot. However, electrical parameter monitoring methods require modifications to the operating circuitry of power electronic devices, making non-invasive monitoring impossible. Furthermore, these methods are susceptible to coupled variables such as temperature, leading to misjudgments. Non-electrical methods such as X-rays and infrared sensors require offline testing of the IGBT module, and the high cost of the testing equipment makes them inadequate for online monitoring. Currently, there is no non-invasive, junction temperature-independent, and highly accurate IGBT module status monitoring method. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, 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 application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0047] The following describes the electromagnetic soundprint monitoring method and device for the failure state of the bonding wire of the IGBT module according to the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0048] Figure 1 A flow chart of an electromagnetic soundprint monitoring method for the failure state of an IGBT module bonding wire provided in the first embodiment of the present application.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the electromagnetic soundprint monitoring method for the failure state of the IGBT module bonding wire includes the following steps:
[0050] Step 101: Select an electromagnetic soundprint monitoring point within a preset range of the bridge arm to be monitored of the IGBT module;
[0051] In this embodiment, the monitoring positions of the electromagnetic soundprint are selected, including:
[0052] Analyze the current flow characteristics inside the IGBT module when the IGBT device under test is turned on;
[0053] The electromagnetic soundprint monitoring zone of the bridge arm to be tested is delineated based on the projection of the current flow path to the IGBT module housing when the IGBT device of the bridge arm to be tested is turned on;
[0054] Taking the junction of the bonding wire and the chip or the anti-parallel diode as the center and considering the difficulty of installing the monitoring probe, the electromagnetic soundprint monitoring position is determined near the center point.
[0055] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the electromagnetic soundprint monitoring zones and monitoring points of the IGBT module in this embodiment. Figure 2 For example, the module to be monitored includes six bridge arms, so the six monitoring regions are divided into R1-R6 as shown in the dashed box. The bridge arm to be tested consists of Q1, D1, and the bond wire between them. The monitoring point P is selected as the center point directly below the bond wire coupling point.
[0056] Step 102, using an electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint monitoring device to collect electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signals at an electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint monitoring point;
[0057] In this embodiment, the total energy of the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signals collected by the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint monitoring device in the frequency band of 500 kHz and above should be less than 1% of the total energy of all frequency bands. If not, a digital low-pass filter should be used to filter out high-frequency interference signals first.
[0058] Step 103, using multi-scale wavelet decomposition to separate the abrupt signal component in the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal and determine the abrupt signal component feature;
[0059] In this embodiment, the wavelet basis function used in multi-scale wavelet decomposition includes but is not limited to Haar wavelet, Daubechies wavelet and other orthogonal wavelet functions; the decomposition order of multi-scale wavelet decomposition is at least 5, and the signal abrupt point is extracted using the modulus maximum value of wavelet coefficients with a decomposition order greater than 5; the abrupt signal component is reconstructed using the wavelet coefficients containing the modulus maximum value.
[0060] In this embodiment, the extracted electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal features include but are not limited to the peak-to-peak value V app , which is represented as follows:
[0061] V app = max(W(t)-min(W(t))), t0≤t≤t0+10t off
[0062] In the formula, W(t) is the collected electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal, t0 is the start time of the turn-off transient, and t off is the typical turn-off time marked in the IGBT device data sheet.
[0063] Step 104, establishing the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint reference signal of the IGBT module in the non-bonding wire failure state, and extracting the reference signal feature;
[0064] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint reference signal is constructed, including:
[0065] Using a non-bonding wire failure IGBT module of the same type as the IGBT module to be tested, recording the number of bonding wires i of the bridge arm to be tested, and carrying out testing on the double-pulse test platform;
[0066] Considering the actual working condition bus voltage and turn-off current size of the IGBT module to be tested, adjusting the double-pulse test bus voltage and pulse length to ensure that the bus voltage and turn-off current are the same as the actual working condition;
[0067] Using the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint monitoring device at the same monitoring position as the IGBT module to be tested to collect the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal as the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint reference signal under the condition of 0 bonding wire failure;
[0068] Cut off the bonding wires of the IGBT module one by one, record the number j of the cut off bonding wires, and collect the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal as the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint reference signal under the condition of j failed bonding wires, until all the bonding wires are cut off.
[0069] Figure 3 For the peak-to-peak value variation curve of the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint of the IGBT module with different number of bonding wires in the embodiment, it can be seen that the peak-to-peak value of the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint increases as the number of bonding wires decreases.
[0070] In step 105, the characteristics of the mutation signal component are compared with the characteristics of the reference signal to determine the failure state of the bonding wires of the IGBT module.
[0071] In the embodiment, determining the failure state of the bonding wires of the IGBT module comprises:
[0072] Determine the reference value interval in which the peak-to-peak value of the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal of the to-be-tested module is located. If the peak-to-peak value of the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal of the to-be-tested module is greater than or equal to the peak-to-peak value of the reference signal corresponding to k failed bonding wires and less than or equal to the peak-to-peak value of the reference signal corresponding to k+1 failed bonding wires, it is determined that the to-be-tested bridge arm of the to-be-tested IGBT module has i failed bonding wires.
[0073] For example, set the monitored peak-to-peak value of the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal to 1.5 V, and compare it with Figure 2 , Figure 3 It can be seen that the R1 bridge arm of the to-be-tested module has 3 failed bonding wires. Figure 3
[0074] In the embodiment, the early warning threshold is set to 1 / 3 of the number of bonding wires of the intact module. If the number of failed bonding wires exceeds the threshold, an early warning is issued.
[0075] The electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint monitoring method for the failure state of the bonding wires of the IGBT module in the embodiment of the application can realize the monitoring of the failure state of the bonding wires by collecting the electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal of the IGBT module in the on-off transient state and comparing it with the reference electromagnetic acoustic fingerprint signal.

The monitoring is low in invasion and less affected by temperature. The method criterion is simple, real-time, and highly reliable. The monitoring device is low in cost.
