However, when the IGBT module is repaired or replaced, the fixing screws need to be unscrewed one by one, which increases the time for disassembly and reduces the efficiency of maintenance. At the same time, it needs to be installed again after repair and replacement, and the repeated tightening of the screws increases the workload of the maintenance personnel. Therefore, we need to propose an inverter with an IGBT module assembly and clamping structure. Utility Model Content

[0024] The clamping assembly 11 includes a fixing plate 111, two sets of fixing shafts 114 and a clamping member 115. A hidden hole 117 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 111 for the two sets of fixing shafts 114 to be rotatably plugged in. One end of the two sets of fixing shafts 114 passes through the fixing plate 111 and is fixedly connected to one side of the two sets of clamping members 115. The other ends of the two sets of fixing shafts 114 are provided with a hexagonal hole 116.

[0025] The limiting assembly 12 includes a sealing plate 121 and four groups of limiting rods 124. The four groups of limiting rods 124 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 111. The sealing plate 121 is slidably inserted into one end of the four groups of limiting rods 124, and the outer sides of the four groups of limiting rods 124 are all sleeved with springs 126. Two groups of hexagonal blocks 123 that fit the hexagonal holes 116 are fixedly connected to one side of the sealing plate 121.

[0026] Magnets 112 are fixedly connected at both ends of the other side of the fixing plate 111. The vertical cross-section of the clamping piece 115 is L-shaped. A sliding groove 113 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing plate 111. The magnet 112 is used to facilitate the positioning of the clamping piece 115 after the module body 13 is removed to avoid its opening facing downward, so as to facilitate the quick installation of the module body 13.

[0027] A slider 122 slidably connected to the slide groove 113 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the sealing plate 121, and an inclined portion is provided on the upper end of one side of the slider 122. A rotating rod 125 is rotatably connected to the other side of the sealing plate 121. The cross-section of the rotating rod 125 is L-shaped. The inclined portion on the slider 122 facilitates the contact with the module body 13, thereby allowing the hexagonal block 123 to disengage from the hexagonal hole 116 while facilitating the module body 13 to contact the clamping piece 115.

[0028] Two groups of blocks 10 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the circuit board 3 , and the axes of the blocks 10 and the rotating rod 125 are arranged on the same straight line. The blocks 10 facilitate positioning of the limit assembly 12 and further facilitate disassembly of the module body 13 .

[0029] It also includes a heat sink 1, the upper surface of which is fixedly connected to multiple groups of limit blocks 4, and one side of the multiple groups of limit blocks 4 is provided with a card slot 5, and the upper surface of the circuit board 3 is provided with positioning holes 9 for the multiple groups of limit blocks 4 to be engaged, and the card slots 5 on the multiple groups of limit blocks 4 are conveniently matched with the positioning holes 9 on the circuit board 3, thereby improving the stability of the circuit board 3 after installation.

[0030] A lower silicone thermal pad 6 is provided on the upper surface of the radiator 1, and a plurality of thermal conductive strips 7 are bonded to the upper surface of the lower silicone thermal pad 6. An upper silicone thermal pad 8 is provided on the lower surface of the circuit board 3, and the lower surface of the upper silicone thermal pad 8 is in contact with the plurality of thermal conductive strips 7. The heat energy is transferred to the lower silicone thermal pad 6 through the thermal conductive strips 7 by the upper silicone thermal pad 8, and then dissipated by the radiator 1. The heat dissipation is performed by the cooling fan in the inverter, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0031] Multiple groups of thermal conductive strips 7 are arranged in parallel, and thermal conductive silicone grease 14 is provided on the lower surface of the module body 13.

At the same time, multiple groups of thermal conductive strips 7 are arranged in parallel with gaps, which facilitates the flow of heat under the influence of airflow, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0032] When the module body 13 is installed, the module body 13 will first contact the slider 122 on the sealing plate 121 during the downward pressing process, thereby causing the inclined portion of the slider 122 to slide with the module body 13. After the slider 122 slides along the slide groove 113, the sealing plate 121 presses the spring 126 on the limiting rod 124, thereby causing the module body 13 to contact the pressing member 115 during the pressing process, and the pressing member 115 is separated from the magnet 112. During the continuous downward pressing process of the module body 13, the sealing plate 121 drives the slider 122 to reset due to the reaction force of the spring 126, thereby limiting the module body 13. At the same time, when the thermal conductive silicone grease 14 on the lower surface of the module body 13 contacts After the circuit board 3 is touched, the hexagonal block 123 on the sealing plate 121 is inserted into the hexagonal hole 116 on the fixed shaft 114, thereby positioning the fixed shaft 114 to prevent vibration from affecting the installation stability of the module body 13 and preventing the module body 13 from detaching. During disassembly, the rotating rod 125 is pulled to make the sealing plate 121 compress the spring 126 while disengaging the hexagonal block 123 from the hexagonal hole 116, and then the rotating rod 125 is placed on the stop block 10 to keep the sealing plate 121 separated from the fixed plate 111, so as to facilitate the removal of the module body 13, and the magnet 112 absorbs the clamping piece 115 to prevent the clamping piece 115 from rotating, so as to facilitate the replacement of the module body 13, and the operation is simple and convenient.
