[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0016] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 4The embodiment of the present invention provides a movable temperature testing device 100 for testing a power module, the movable temperature testing device comprising a movable testing clamp 1, a water tank 2 and a water pump 3, the mobile testing clamp 1 comprising a box 11 with a receiving space and a constant temperature plate 12, the power module 200 to be tested is placed in the receiving space, the constant temperature plate 12 and the box 11 form a clamping structure to clamp and fix the power module 200, the constant temperature plate 12 and the power module 200 are in contact with each other, the constant temperature plate 12 is provided with a water inlet 1221 and a water outlet 1222, the constant temperature plate 12 is connected to the water tank 2 and the water pump 3 through the water inlet 1221 and the water outlet 1222 through a water pipe 4 to form a circulating water circuit, and when the water pump 3 is working, the water in the water tank 2 flows in the circulating water circuit.
[0017] The mobile test fixture 1 further includes a spring 13, a first end of the spring 13 is fixed to the constant temperature plate 12, a second end of the spring 13 is fixed to the box 11, and the power module 200 is clamped and fixed in the deformation direction of the spring 13. Preferably, the spring 13 includes two groups, which are respectively arranged on different sides of the constant temperature plate 12 to improve the clamping effect of the clamping structure formed by the constant temperature plate 12 and the box 11.
[0018] The constant temperature plate 12 is a layered structure including an electric heating network layer 121 and a water circulation pipeline layer 122 . The water circulation pipeline layer 122 is provided with the water inlet 1221 and the water outlet 1222 , and the water circulation pipeline layer 122 is in contact with the power module 200 .
[0019] The constant temperature plate 12 is also used to monitor the temperature of water flowing through the water circulation pipeline layer 122 , and dynamically adjust the overall temperature of the constant temperature plate 12 through the electric heating network layer 121 according to the temperature of the water.
[0020] The water tank 2 further includes a circuit control board 21 and a heating device 22. The heating device 22 is in direct contact with the water in the water tank 2. The circuit control board 21 controls the heating device 22 according to a preset program to adjust the temperature of the water in the water tank 2.
[0021] The water tank 2 further includes a fan 23. The circuit control board 21 controls the fan 23 according to the preset program to adjust the temperature of the water in the water tank 2. The fan 23 includes two groups to improve the heat dissipation effect of the water temperature.
[0022] Preferably, the electric heating network layer 121 is connected to the circuit control board 21 through a pre-set heating power supply port 1211, and the circuit control board 21 controls the temperature of the electric heating network layer 121. Specifically, the electric heating network layer 121 and the heating device 22 are both implemented based on the structure of the heating wire, so the circuit control board 21 can control the temperature of the electric heating network layer 121 and the heating device 22 by controlling the power supply (the thermal effect of the current, Q=I 2 RT). The preset program may be a pre-designed temperature control program for performing a certain constant temperature test on a specific power module.
[0023] For example, if it is necessary to test the performance of the power module 200 at 120 degrees Celsius, when the temperature of the power module 200 is higher than 120 degrees, the constant temperature plate 12 detects that the module temperature is too high and starts the water pump 3, and starts water circulation to cool the constant temperature plate 12. Through the preset program, the set temperature is controlled within an error range of 1 degree Celsius. For example, when the temperature is lower than 119 degrees, the water pump will stop working, and the temperature of the heating wire and the water temperature will be neutralized at about 120 degrees. After that, by controlling the water temperature and heating the heating wire, the water circulation and the heating wire can finally achieve a constant temperature effect. In order to simplify the control program, the current can be controlled by an adjustable resistor. Three adjustment gears are set by pre-setting three resistance values. When the adjustable resistor is at the maximum value, the current flowing through the heating wire is small, the heating is slow, and the time is long. When the resistance value is minimum, the current flowing through the heating wire is maximum, and the heating is fastest. In this way, the temperature of the constant temperature board can be controlled by water circulation. Since the temperature of the power module is monitored in real time, when the water temperature cannot be maintained at a constant temperature within 3 minutes, the circuit control board 21 will detect the comparison temperature, judge by the temperature difference, and automatically adjust the gear. The resistor is switched by the control circuit to convert different gears to achieve the purpose of constant temperature.
[0024] During the implementation, the constant temperature plate 21 has a thickness of 1-2 mm and a width smaller than the width of the power module by 1-2 cm, which is convenient for plugging the power module pins on the tooling board or other test equipment. The volume of the water tank 2 can be set to 10 cm*10 cm*10 cm to meet the need for portability.
[0025] The beneficial effect achieved by the present invention is that a movable temperature testing device for testing power modules with high efficiency and flexibility is proposed. The device is based on a clamping structure and can heat any power module of a suitable size to meet the heating requirements of different scenarios. Moreover, the constant temperature system based on electric heating and water heating enables the device to be used in different scenarios and on different tooling boards, and to simulate different temperatures for testing, making it convenient for researchers to evaluate the performance parameters of power modules at different temperatures.
