[0020] The utility model Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a power device module terminal welding tool includes a fixture unit, wherein:

[0021] The clamp unit includes a first clamp 4, a second clamp 5, a third clamp 7, a fixing part and a limiting support assembly. The first clamp 4, the second clamp 5 and the third clamp 7 are distributed in sequence from bottom to top. The fixing part is connected to the second clamp 5. After the welding tool is welded to the power device module terminal, it has a module base plate 1, an insulating substrate 2 and a module terminal 3. The limiting support assembly vertically penetrates the first clamp 4, the module base plate 1 and the second clamp 5 from bottom to top, and the module base plate 1 is limited between the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 by the limiting support assembly.

[0022] The power device module terminal is a power device unit; after welding, the power device unit includes a module base plate 1, an insulating substrate 2 and a module terminal 3; the insulating substrate 2 is located on the upper surface of the module base plate 1, and the module terminal 3 is arranged on the insulating substrate 2;

[0023] The module base plate 1 is located above the first clamp 4, and the module terminal 3 vertically passes through the second clamp 5 and the third clamp 7. The fixing part fixes and limits the second clamp 5, and the limiting support assembly supports and limits the first clamp 4, the module base plate 1, the second clamp 5 and the third clamp 7.

[0024] Since the power device module terminal 3 is suitable for different application platforms, there are certain differences between the module terminal 3 structures. The center of gravity of the power device module terminal 3 is eccentric and the height is inconsistent. The packaging process is very likely to cause the terminal to tilt and cold solder joints, resulting in poor matching between the terminal and other raw materials after welding. In view of this abnormal phenomenon after the power device module terminal 3 is welded, the terminal packaging effect is guaranteed by optimizing the design of the welding tool. By adopting the power device module terminal 3 welding tool provided by this application, the product appearance quality can be improved, the scratches on the module terminal 3 plating surface and the copper leakage rate can be reduced, the product packaging yield can be improved, and the module terminal 3 can be guaranteed to meet the product requirements after welding.

[0025] The first clamp 4 is a graphite heat-conducting base plate, the second clamp 5 includes an upper limit plate 51 and a lower limit plate 52, the third clamp 7 is a pressure block, and the fixing part is vertically connected between the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52. The second clamp 5 is detachably arranged above the first clamp 4, and the third clamp 7 is detachably arranged above the second clamp 5.

[0026] This graphite thermally conductive baseplate is used for heat transfer between the heating platform and the sintering furnace equipment, as well as for positioning the module baseplate 1. Made of graphite, it is highly resistant to high temperatures, with a melting point of 3850±50°C. Even under ultra-high-temperature arc burns, it exhibits minimal weight loss and a low thermal expansion coefficient. It also exhibits thermal conductivity, which decreases with increasing temperature, and possesses excellent lubricity, chemical stability, plasticity, and thermal shock resistance.

[0027] The upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52 are used to limit the position of the power device module terminal 3 during the welding process. The upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52 are both made of aluminum alloy 7075, which has good wear resistance and weldability.

[0028] The stainless steel clamp is used to maintain the upright feature of the power device module terminal 3 during the packaging process. The stainless steel clamp is made of 304, which has a certain weight and good weldability and heat resistance.

[0029] The limiting support assembly includes an upper copper column 6 and a lower copper column 10. The lower copper column 10 is connected between the first clamp 4 and the module base plate 1. The upper copper column 6 is detachably connected to the lower copper column 10. The upper copper column 6 is connected between the upper limiting plate 51 and the lower limiting plate 52.

[0030] The fixing member includes a stepped stud 9 and a locking nut 8 matching the stepped stud 9 . The stepped stud 9 vertically passes between the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52 . The locking nut 8 is detachably arranged on the upper end of the stepped stud 9 .

[0031] The stepped stud 9 integrates the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52 into one piece, making them easy to take.

[0032] The upper copper pillar 6 has a blind hole therein and cooperates with the lower copper pillar 10 to position and support the module base plate 1 and the second fixture 5 .

[0033] The locking nut 8 and the stepped stud 9 cooperate with each other to lock the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52 to fix the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52.

[0034] The lower copper column 10 is screwed onto the graphite heat-conducting base plate to limit the graphite heat-conducting base plate and the module base plate 1 .

[0035] The stepped stud 9 is used for positioning and connecting the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52 ; the locking nut 8 is used for fixing the upper limit plate 51 and the lower limit plate 52 .

[0036] The upper copper column 6 is used for positioning and supporting the power device unit and the second fixture 5, as well as for positioning the module base plate 1 and the graphite thermal conductive base plate; the lower copper column 10 is used for positioning the graphite thermal conductive base plate and the module base plate 1; by adopting a limiting support component to achieve support and position limitation between the power device unit and the fixture unit, welding accuracy is guaranteed and position deviation is prevented.

[0037] The second clamp 5 and the third clamp 7 are both provided with a limiting hole 73 for limiting the module terminal 3 . The module terminal 3 vertically passes through the limiting hole 73 . The single-side reserved gap between the module terminal 3 and the limiting hole 73 is 0.1 mm.

[0038] The second fixture 5 secures the upper and lower retaining plates 51 and 52 via stepped studs 9 and locknuts 8. Before soldering the base of the module terminal 3, the second fixture 5 is flipped over. After inserting the module terminal 3 into the corresponding retaining hole 73, solder paste is applied. After soldering the module terminal 3, the soldering fixture for the module terminal 3 is reversed and placed in contact with the module base plate 1 and the insulating substrate 2. A 0.1mm clearance is reserved on either side of the retaining hole 73 of the second fixture 5 to prevent significant offset during the packaging process.

[0039] The clamping block has a 0.1mm clearance on one side between the module terminal 3 and the retaining hole 73 of the clamping block, ensuring no significant offset during the packaging process of the module terminal 3. After the module terminal 3 contacts the insulating substrate 2, the clamping block presses against the base of the terminal, uprighting the module terminal 3 and ensuring a clear gap between the module terminal 3 and the retaining hole 73 of the clamping block.

[0040] A connecting piece 72 is detachably provided between the second clamp 5 and the third clamp 7 , and the third clamp 7 is provided above the second clamp 5 via the connecting piece 72 .

[0041] Both sides of the pressing block are provided with clearance notches 71 for easy disassembly, and the fixing piece is located beside the clearance notches 71 .

[0042] By using the second clamp 5 and the third clamp 7 in conjunction with each other, the module terminal 3 is inserted upside down after the solder paste is applied to the root, so that the module terminal 3 remains upright after welding and does not have cold solder joints or other phenomena; and after the module terminal 3 is welded, the clamp units are easy to disassemble and the module terminal 3 is not easily scratched or other phenomena.

[0043] The usage and principle of the power device module terminal welding tool are as follows:

[0044] The module base plate is located above the first clamp, and the module terminal vertically passes through the second clamp and the third clamp. The fixing part fixes and limits the second clamp, and the limiting support assembly supports and limits the first clamp, the module base plate, the second clamp and the third clamp; through the coordinated use of the second clamp and the third clamp, the module terminal adopts the method of inverted insertion after the root is soldered with solder paste, so that the module terminal remains upright after welding, and there will be no phenomenon such as cold welding; and after the module terminal is welded, the clamp units are easy to disassemble, and the module terminal is not prone to scratches and the like.

[0045] The design focus of the present utility model is that by adopting the power device module terminal welding tooling provided in this application, the product appearance quality can be improved, the surface scratches and copper leakage rate of the module terminal plating can be reduced, the product packaging yield can be improved, and the module terminal can be guaranteed to meet the product requirements after welding; by using fixing parts to fix and limit the second clamp, the structural stability is improved; by using limiting support components to support and limit the first clamp, the module base plate, the second clamp and the third clamp, position deviation is prevented and welding accuracy is guaranteed.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
