[0002] Ultrasonic welding uses high-frequency vibration waves to transmit to the surfaces of two objects to be welded. Under pressure, the two surfaces of the objects rub against each other to form a fusion between the molecular layers.
[0003] IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is the core component of power electronic system, with independent power conversion function. IGBT module uses electrical power terminal and high-power semiconductor chip circuit structure to connect by ultrasonic welding, which can achieve close contact at atomic level.
[0004] When ultrasonically welding an IGBT module, currently only the bottom of the IGBT module can be fixed. The inventors have found that there are at least the following technical problems in practical applications: if only the bottom of the IGBT module is fixed, the fixing strength of the side wall of the IGBT module is insufficient. When the ultrasonic welding head presses down to weld the terminals in the IGBT module, it is easy to cause the terminals in the IGBT module to be unreliable or to have cold welds, thereby affecting the quality of ultrasonic welding. There is even a situation where the IGBT module is squeezed outward by the terminals, causing cracks in the side wall of the IGBT module, resulting in the scrapping of the welded product.
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to improve the defects of the prior art to overcome the shortcomings in practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0009] As a preferred solution, the elastic member includes a spring and a tension spring, the spring is installed inside the fixing block and connected to the core rod, and the tension spring connects the core rod and the pressing block.
[0010] As a preferred solution, the fixing block is provided with a cavity, the spring is installed in the cavity, and one end of the core rod is in contact with and cooperates with the spring.
[0011] As a preferred solution, the end of the core rod has a mounting groove, and the mounting groove is buckled with the spring.
[0012] As a preferred solution, avoidance holes are correspondingly provided on the core rod and the pressing block, and the tension spring is arranged through the avoidance holes.
[0013] As a preferred solution, a cotter pin is installed on the pressing block, and the cotter pin is connected to one end of the tension spring.

[0030] Specifically, the elastic member includes a spring 41 and a tension spring 42. The spring 41 is installed inside the fixed block 1 and connected to the core rod 2. The tension spring 41 connects the core rod 2 and the clamping block 3. The clamping block 3 is arranged on a side wall of the fixed block 1 and cooperates with the core rod 2 through a wedge shape to convert the left-right movement of the core rod 2 into the front-back movement of the clamping block 3. It should be noted that the axial direction along the core rod is the left-right direction, and the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the core rod is the front-back direction.
[0031] Furthermore, the fixing block 1 is provided with a cavity, in which a spring 41 is installed, and one end of the core rod 2 is in contact with and cooperates with the spring 41 .
