[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] This embodiment relates to a circuit board structure of an electric power device. The electric power device may be an inverter, a photovoltaic storage integrated device or a photovoltaic combiner box. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the circuit board structure of the power equipment includes a first circuit board 1, a second circuit board 2 and a plurality of components. The first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 are independently arranged and can be connected by a support plate or a support column 3 and physically separated from each other. The plurality of components include a plurality of transistors, and the plurality of transistors are arranged on the first circuit board 1. The first circuit board 1 is provided with a heat sink or is in contact with the heat sink. The second circuit board 2 is provided with a control circuit 60 of the power equipment and other circuits that do not contain transistors.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the first circuit board 1 is provided with the low-voltage side input circuit of the power equipment, all transistors, transistor drivers, sampling circuits between transistors, and temperature sampling circuits. All transistors are arranged on the same first circuit board 1, so that the heat sink can be fully utilized to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, the size of the heat sink can be reduced while ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the transistors, thereby reducing the weight of the power equipment and reducing the cost of the power equipment.

[0032] Further, a plurality of transistors are divided into a plurality of groups, including a first group of transistors 30 and a second group of transistors 40, the voltage of each group of transistors is equal or the voltage difference is within a set range, the first group of transistors 30 is a low-voltage side transistor, and the second group of transistors 40 is a high-voltage side transistor. Each transistor of the first group of transistors 30 is arranged in the first area 11 of the first circuit board 1, and each transistor of the second group of transistors 40 is arranged in the second area 12 of the first circuit board 1, and the first area 11 and the second area 12 are arranged at intervals. The transistors are divided into two rows (or two columns) according to high and low voltages (tubes with large pressure differences), and the transistors in the same row belong to the same voltage, the electrical circuit is shorter, the safety distance is smaller, the effective copper plating area is larger, the impedance is reduced, the current of the copper foil is larger, and the temperature can also be reduced. The high and low voltages are divided and do not interfere with each other, so that the EMC effect is better. In some other embodiments, the positions of the first group of transistors 30 and the second group of transistors 40 can be interchanged.

[0033] Furthermore, the first circuit board 1 also has a third area 13, and the third area 13 is located between the first area 11 and the second area 12. The driving circuit 50 (including driving IC, etc.) for the transistors of the first group of transistors 30 and the second group of transistors 40 is arranged in the third area 13. The transistor drive is placed between the two rows of transistors. On the one hand, it makes the overall driving circuit shorter. On the other hand, the lengths of the driving circuits of different transistors are closer, and the EMC effect is better. On the other hand, this layout just separates the transistors to prevent the heat from being concentrated in the transistors, and reduces the probability of problems caused by overheating of the transistors, so that the power equipment can work better. The third area 13 is provided with the driving circuit 50 for the transistor to shorten the overall length of the driving line, and also takes into account the driving lengths between different transistors, so that the transistor drive can be as synchronized as possible.

[0034] A low-voltage side input circuit 20 is also provided on the first circuit board 1, and the low-voltage side input circuit 20 is arranged adjacent to the first region 11, and the output end of the low-voltage side input circuit 20 and the first group of transistors 30 are electrically connected through the line on the first circuit board 1. A low-voltage side inductor 300 is also arranged on the first region 11, and the low-voltage side inductor 300 is interspersed in the middle of the first group of transistors 30.

[0035] High-voltage side components are also arranged on the second area 12, and the high-voltage side components are inserted in the middle of the second group of transistors 40. The high-voltage side components include a high-voltage side BUS capacitor 400. The high-voltage side components can be components of any voltage, that is, other components are inserted in the middle of the second group of transistors to reduce additional wiring, shorten the loop, and improve EMC.

[0036] The first group of transistors 30 includes transistors of a BUCK circuit, a BOOST circuit or a low-voltage rectifier circuit, and the second group of transistors 40 includes transistors of a high-voltage side rectifier bridge or an inverter bridge.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the second circuit board 2 is also provided with one or more of a communication circuit 100, a power circuit 70, an output circuit 80, and a voltage and / or current sampling circuit. Furthermore, the second circuit board 2 is used to set all other circuits other than the components of the first circuit board 1, including a high-voltage input circuit 90, a communication circuit 100, a control circuit 60, a power circuit 70, an output circuit 80, and various other voltage and current sampling circuits. There are no components on the second circuit board 2 that require heat sinks for heat dissipation.

[0038] In a specific example, the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 are arranged up and down, and connected by a support column 3 and a support plate. The first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 are electrically connected through a cable. Furthermore, the cable includes a power signal cable for transmitting power signals, and a threading hole 202 is provided in the middle of the second circuit board 2 for the power signal cable to pass through, thereby shortening the connection distance, reducing the impact on EMC, and optimizing EMC. The power signal cable is connected to the above-mentioned inductor 300, and the natural need for jumpers of the inductor 300 is utilized to separate the power device and the functional circuit, reduce the connection between boards, reduce the weight of the finished product, and reduce the cost; reduce the workload of the wiring personnel, make wiring easier, and reduce labor costs. In addition, the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 are respectively arranged with interconnection terminals 101 and 201, and the interconnection terminals 101 on the first circuit board 1 and the interconnection terminals 201 on the second circuit board 2 are electrically connected through small signal cables. The interconnection terminals 101 on the first circuit board 1 and the interconnection terminals 201 on the second circuit board 2 are located on the same side, and are preferably arranged vertically opposite to each other for easy wiring operations. The communication terminals are also on the same side of the interconnection terminals for easy external communication and communication with other circuit boards, and wiring errors are less likely to occur.

[0039] The materials of the substrates of the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 2 include glass fiber board, paper substrate, metal substrate, ceramic substrate, etc. The shape of the PCB can be rectangular, circular, or irregular.

[0040] In the above circuit board structure, all transistors are placed on one board, and the heat sink is used as much as possible to reduce the projected area of ​​the box, thereby reducing the volume of the box and improving product competitiveness. The natural need for jumpers of inductor 300 is utilized to separate power devices and functional circuits, reduce connections between boards, reduce the weight of finished products, and reduce costs. Reduce the workload of wiring personnel, make wiring easier, and reduce labor costs. Effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of PCB design. This embodiment is conducive to reducing the volume of finished products and the size of PCBs, so that this size is suitable for the track width of most PCBA processing, saves human resources, disperses the heat transfer of pipes, makes full use of heat sinks, reduces product costs, and reduces the workload of other functional modules (heat, EMC).
