Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of IGBT module testing, and in particular to a method and apparatus for estimating bond wire stripping in IGBT modules. Background Technology

[0002] IGBT modules are widely used in high-power power conversion applications such as new energy power generation, electric vehicles, and industrial frequency converters. Internally, multiple aluminum or copper wires are typically used to bond the chip electrodes to external terminals to carry the main current. After prolonged exposure to power cycling, mechanical vibration, and thermal stress, the bond wire interfaces are prone to lift-off or breakage, leading to increased module on-resistance, localized overheating, and ultimately system failure. Therefore, early and accurate detection of the bond wire condition is a key technology for achieving predictive maintenance of power modules and improving system reliability.

[0003] Currently, the detection methods for bond wire degradation generally involve disassembling the IGBT module for inspection, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and can easily affect the sealing effect of the IGBT module. Other methods, such as the X-ray scanner disclosed in invention patent CN102422178B and the fiber optic eddy current ultrasonic composite non-destructive testing instrument and method disclosed in invention patent CN118604117B, detect whether the bond wires in the IGBT module have peeled off. However, this method requires sending the IGBT module to a specialized laboratory, which is cumbersome and costly, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method and device for estimating bond wire peeling in IGBT modules to improve upon these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method and apparatus for estimating IGBT module bond wire stripping by using a transmission mechanism to transport IGBT modules to a testing mechanism, where the testing mechanism, in conjunction with an analysis module, tests the IGBT modules to determine if they have bond wire stripping. The transmission mechanism then separates IGBT modules with and without bond wire stripping, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0005] The apparatus for estimating the stripping of bond wires in an IGBT module according to the present invention includes a transmission mechanism; it also includes a detection mechanism and an analysis module, wherein the detection mechanism is mounted on the transmission mechanism and the analysis module is mounted in the detection mechanism; The transmission mechanism delivers the IGBT module, and the detection mechanism, in conjunction with the analysis module, detects the IGBT module. The IGBT modules are transported to the testing mechanism via a transmission mechanism. The testing mechanism, in conjunction with the analysis module, tests the IGBT modules to determine if there is any bond wire stripping. The transmission mechanism then separates the IGBT modules with bond wire stripping from those without, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0006] Preferably, the detection mechanism includes a sorting mechanism, an adapter, a plug, and a pressure sensor. The sorting mechanism is mounted on the transmission mechanism. The bottom of the adapter has a reserved slot with a terminal interface. The plug and pressure sensor are both mounted on the bottom of the adapter, with the pressure sensor located in the reserved slot. The adapter is snapped onto the sorting mechanism. The adapter is snapped onto the sorting mechanism, and the plug is inserted into the sorting mechanism. Then, the transmission mechanism pushes the IGBT module into the reserved slot, causing the IGBT module to press the pressure sensor into the adapter. The sorting mechanism then snaps the IGBT module into the reserved slot, and the terminals on the IGBT module are inserted into the terminal interfaces in the reserved slot. Simultaneously, the sorting mechanism, in conjunction with the adapter and the analysis module, detects the IGBT module. After detection, the sorting mechanism adjusts the position of the IGBT module, and then releases the IGBT module, causing it to fall onto the transmission mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes a locking mechanism, a housing, a rotating shaft, a support platform, a gear ring, a drive motor, a gear, and a socket. The housing is mounted on the transmission mechanism, the support platform is rotatably mounted on the housing via the rotating shaft, the gear ring is mounted on the bottom of the rotating shaft, the drive motor is fixedly mounted in the housing, the gear is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, and the gear and the gear ring are meshed. A limit groove is provided on the support platform, and circuit and signal lines are provided in the support platform. The socket is installed in the limit groove, and the locking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the support platform. The adapter is placed into the support platform. The adapter is inserted into the slot on the card and the plug is inserted into the socket. Then the circuit and signal line on the adapter and the support are connected. The adapter is then locked by the locking mechanism. After the IGBT module is inserted into the reserved slot at the bottom of the adapter, the IGBT module is limited by the locking mechanism. After the IGBT module is tested, the drive motor is turned on. Through the meshing of the gear and the gear ring, the support is driven to rotate, the position of the IGBT module is adjusted, and then the locking mechanism is used to release the IGBT module, so that the IGBT module falls onto the transmission mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism, and the adapter is provided with a groove; The locking mechanism includes a slide rail, an electric slider, and a limit bracket. The slide rail is installed on the bottom of the support platform, the electric slider is slidably installed on the slide rail, and the limit bracket is installed on the electric slider. The second locking mechanism includes a locking plate, a knob, and a support cylinder. The locking plate is rotatably mounted on the top of the support platform. The knob and the support cylinder are both mounted on the locking plate. The bottom of the support cylinder is equipped with a ball bearing, and a spring is installed inside the support cylinder. After the adapter is placed in the slot of the support platform, the locking plate is rotated to align the support cylinder with the groove on the adapter. The elasticity of the spring inside the support cylinder causes the ball bearing to engage in the groove of the adapter, thus limiting the adapter. After the IGBT module presses the pressure sensor into the adapter, the electric slider slides on the slide rail, causing the limit frame to lock the IGBT module.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a worktable, an electric push rod, a lifting platform, two sets of conveyor belts, and two sets of drive motors. The electric push rod and the two sets of conveyor belts are all mounted on the worktable, the lifting platform is mounted on the electric push rod, and the two sets of drive motors are respectively mounted on the two sets of conveyor belts, providing power to the two sets of conveyor belts. By rotating the support platform, the adapter seat is moved above the lifting platform, and the IGBT module is placed on the lifting platform. By extending the electric push rod, the IGBT module is inserted into the reserved slot of the adapter seat. Then, by moving the electric slider, the limit frame clamps the IGBT module. After the IGBT module is inspected, it is determined whether the IGBT module has bond wire peeling. Then, by rotating the support platform and moving the electric slider, the IGBT module with bond wire peeling is placed on one set of conveyor belts and sent out by the operation of this set of conveyor belts. The IGBT module without bond wire peeling is placed on the other set of conveyor belts and sent out by the operation of the other set of conveyor belts.

[0010] Preferably, the analysis module includes: Signal injection module: generates a frequency-adjustable and amplitude-stable AC current signal and transmits the AC current signal to the IGBT module; Voltage acquisition module: Acquires collector-emitter voltage data of IGBT module and generates amplitude-frequency response curve to provide accurate data for data processing module; Data processing module: Extracts the resonant frequency corresponding to the first parallel resonant peak from the amplitude-frequency response curve, compares the extracted resonant frequency with the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency, and calculates the equivalent inductance increment of the bond line based on the upward shift of the extracted resonant frequency relative to the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency. Output module: Transmits signals to the sorting and conveying mechanisms, and displays the data parameters and test results during the detection process to the staff.

[0011] Preferably, the signal injection module includes: Direct digital frequency synthesizer: As a fully digital programmable signal source, it generates sinusoidal voltage signals with precise controllable frequency and phase; Operational amplifier: It forms a voltage-controlled current source, converting the low-power voltage signal output from the direct digital frequency synthesizer into an AC current signal with constant amplitude; Transformer: It achieves electrical isolation and signal coupling, blocks the high voltage of the DC bus, and transmits only the AC current excitation signal.

[0012] Preferably, the voltage acquisition module includes: High-precision differential amplifier: for measuring the collector-emitter voltage of IGBTs; Anti-aliasing filter: Filters the signal before analog-to-digital conversion; Analog-to-digital converter: Converts analog voltage signals into digital signals.

[0013] Preferably, the data processing module includes: Microcontroller: It obtains the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency from the memory, compares the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency with the obtained resonant frequency, and analyzes and determines whether there is any bond wire peeling in the IGBT module; Memory: Stores the overall operating data of the analysis module and the analysis results of the microcontroller.

[0014] The method for estimating bond wire stripping in an IGBT module according to the present invention includes the following steps: S1. Inject a variable frequency AC current signal between the DC positive terminal and the DC negative terminal of the IGBT module. The frequency scanning range of the AC current signal covers 50kHz to 2MHz. S2. During the scanning process, the amplitude-frequency response curve of the collector-emitter voltage of the IGBT module is acquired synchronously. S3. Extract the resonant frequency fp corresponding to the first parallel resonant peak from the amplitude-frequency response curve; S4. Compare the measured fp with the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency fp0, and calculate the equivalent inductance increment of the bond wire based on the upward shift of fp relative to fp0. S5. When the upward displacement exceeds a predetermined threshold, it is determined that at least one bond wire has been peeled off, and a corresponding degradation indication signal is output.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. By monitoring the relative drift of the resonant frequency rather than the absolute voltage amplitude, the influence of junction temperature changes and DC bus voltage fluctuations on the detection results is fundamentally eliminated. This enables highly robust bond wire state estimation even under complex actual operating conditions. 2. It can determine whether there is bond wire stripping in the IGBT module without disassembling the IGBT module; 3. The overall structure is simple, and it enables the delivery of IGBT modules during and after the testing process, improving the convenience of testing. Attached Figure Description

The knob 16 and the support cylinder 17 are both mounted on the locking plate 15. The bottom of the support cylinder 17 is provided with a ball bearing, and the inside of the support cylinder 17 is provided with a spring. The transmission mechanism includes a workbench 18, an electric push rod 19, a lifting platform 20, two sets of conveyor belts 21, and two sets of drive motors 22. The electric push rod 19 and the two sets of conveyor belts 21 are both mounted on the workbench 18, the lifting platform 20 is mounted on the electric push rod 19, and the two sets of drive motors 22 are respectively mounted on the two sets of conveyor belts 21, and the two sets of drive motors 22 provide power to the two sets of conveyor belts 21 respectively. The analysis module includes: Signal injection module: generates a frequency-adjustable and amplitude-stable AC current signal and transmits the AC current signal to the IGBT module; Voltage acquisition module: Acquires collector-emitter voltage data of IGBT module and generates amplitude-frequency response curve to provide accurate data for data processing module; Data processing module: Extracts the resonant frequency corresponding to the first parallel resonant peak from the amplitude-frequency response curve, compares the extracted resonant frequency with the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency, and calculates the equivalent inductance increment of the bond line based on the upward shift of the extracted resonant frequency relative to the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency.

The collection module acquires collector-emitter voltage data of the IGBT module and generates an amplitude-frequency response curve, providing accurate data for the data processing module. The data processing module then extracts the resonant frequency corresponding to the first parallel resonant peak from the amplitude-frequency response curve and compares the extracted resonant frequency with a pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency. Based on the upward shift of the extracted resonant frequency relative to the pre-calibrated initial resonant frequency, the equivalent inductance increment of the bond wire is calculated.

After testing, the support platform 7 rotates again, and the electric slider 13 moves to place IGBT modules with bond wire stripping onto a set of conveyor belts 21. These conveyor belts then transport the modules out. IGBT modules without bond wire stripping are placed on another set of conveyor belts 21 and transported out, thus improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0020] The method for estimating bond wire stripping in IGBT modules includes the following steps: S1.
