[0002] As the core device of electric vehicle inverter, the performance parameters of power module directly determine the performance and reliability of electric vehicle. The welding quality of ceramic substrate, chip and heat sink of power module has an important influence on the heat dissipation performance and reliability of power module. Therefore, in the process of power module packaging, in order to keep the welding void rate of power module within a relatively stable range, we need to use XRAY equipment to conduct 100% inspection on power module in production to screen out power modules with excessive voids. However, after the power cycle test of power module, since the frame and signal terminals of power module have been installed, XRAY equipment can no longer perform void inspection on power module. At this time, we can only use C-Sam equipment to inspect power module. Ultrasonic inspection of C-Sam equipment needs to use deionized water as the medium to scan. It is necessary to place all power modules in deionized water for inspection. However, only the heat sink of power module can contact water. After the power module is placed in water as a whole, it will cause the power module to fail and cannot be used.
[0003] Based on this, the art urgently needs a tooling fixture for a power module to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 An embodiment of the utility model provides a tooling fixture for a power module, which is used to solve the problem that the power module is completely placed in water, resulting in functional failure and inability to continue to be used.
[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 1 A three-dimensional diagram of a tooling fixture for a power module provided by an embodiment of the utility model. The utility model provides a tooling fixture for a power module, including: a substrate 10 and a cover plate 20 rotatably connected to the substrate 10; see Figure 2-3 The upper end surface of the substrate 10 is concave to form a first concave portion 11, and the lower end surface of the cover plate 20 is concave to form a second concave portion 21. When the cover plate 20 rotates toward the substrate 10, the upper end surface of the substrate 10 abuts against the lower end surface of the cover plate 20, and the first concave portion 11 and the second concave portion 21 form a receiving cavity 30. The power module 40 is received in the receiving cavity 30. When the power module 40 is ultrasonically tested using C-Sam (ultrasonic scanning) equipment, the tooling fixture for receiving the power module is placed in deionized water for testing, so as to avoid contact between the power module 40 and water, and avoid functional failure of the power module 40, which causes the problem of being unable to continue to be used;
[0032] In the embodiment of the utility model, the shape and size of the first recessed portion 11 formed by the inward concave upper end surface of the substrate 10 are set accordingly according to the size and shape of the power module 40. Preferably, the shape of the first recessed portion 11 is rectangular. Similarly, the shape and size of the second recessed portion 21 formed by the inward concave lower end surface of the cover plate 20 rotatably connected to the substrate 10 are also set accordingly according to the size and shape of the power module 40. As long as the upper end surface of the substrate 10 abuts against the lower end surface of the cover plate 20, a accommodating cavity 30 can be formed between the first recessed portion 11 and the second recessed portion 21 to prevent the power module 40 in the accommodating cavity 30 from contacting water. Preferably, the shape of the first recessed portion 11 is rectangular, and the second recessed portion 21 is also rectangular corresponding to the first recessed portion 11. At the same time, according to the PIN height of the power module 40 of 25 mm, the recessed depth of the first recessed portion 11 is 30 mm, ensuring that the PIN pins on the back of the power module 40 will not be damaged when the power module 40 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 30.
[0033] Furthermore, an opening 22 penetrating the cover plate 20 is provided at the bottom of the second recessed portion 21 , and the part of the power module 40 to be inspected that can be in contact with water can be exposed outside the opening 22 through the opening 22 , so as to facilitate ultrasonic inspection of the power module 40 by the C-Sam device.
[0034] In the embodiment of the utility model, the shape and size of the opening 22 are set accordingly according to the size and shape of the part of the power module 40 that can contact with water. Preferably, according to the size of the part of the power module 40 that can contact with water 135*60mm, the opening 22 is set to a rectangle of 145*70mm to ensure that the power module 40 is isolated from water except for the part that can contact with water.
[0035] The utility model provides a tooling fixture for a power module, which is rotatably connected with a substrate 10 by setting a cover plate 20, a first recessed portion 11 is set on the upper end surface of the substrate 10, and two recessed portions are set on the lower end surface of the cover plate 20. When the cover plate 20 rotates toward the substrate 10 and the upper end surface of the substrate 10 abuts against the lower end surface of the cover plate 20, the first recessed portion 11 and the second recessed portion 21 form a receiving cavity 30, so that the power module 40 can be accommodated in the receiving cavity 30, and an opening 22 penetrating the cover plate 20 is provided at the bottom of the second recessed portion 21, so that the part of the power module 40 that can contact with water can be exposed outside the opening 22, so that ultrasonic detection is realized while avoiding the power module 40 from being completely in contact with water, resulting in product function failure, and solving the problem in the prior art that when the C-Sam device detects the power module 40, the power module 40 is completely placed in deionized water, resulting in function failure and inability to continue to be used.
[0036] As a further improvement of the present invention, see Figure 4-5 When the upper end surface of the substrate 10 abuts against the lower end surface of the cover plate 20, the orthographic projection of the second recessed portion 21 on the first recessed portion 11 covers the first recessed portion 11. By setting the orthographic projection of the second recessed portion 21 on the first recessed portion 11 to cover the first recessed portion 11, the accommodation cavity 30 formed by the first recessed portion 11 and the second recessed portion 21 forms a seal on the power module 40, thereby preventing the power module 40 from being damaged by contact with water. At the same time, the portion of the second recessed portion 21 extending out of the first recessed portion 11 and the accommodation cavity 30 formed by the upper end surface of the substrate 10 can be used to accommodate the protruding terminals on the peripheral side of the power module 40, further ensuring the sealing of the power module 40 and improving the reliability of the tooling and fixture.
[0037] As a further improvement of the present invention, a first seal 12 is provided on the edge ring of the upper end surface of the substrate 10. When the cover plate 20 rotates toward the substrate 10, the upper end surface of the substrate 10 abuts against the lower end surface of the cover plate 20 through the first seal 12. By providing the first seal 12 on the edge ring of the upper end surface of the substrate 10, when the cover plate 20 rotates toward the substrate 10, the upper end surface of the substrate 10 abuts against the lower end surface of the cover plate 20 through the first seal 12, thereby further improving the tightness between the upper end surface of the substrate 10 and the lower end surface of the cover plate 20, ensuring the sealing of the accommodating cavity 30 formed by the first recessed portion 11 and the second recessed portion 21, improving the sealing performance of the tooling fixture, and ensuring that only the water-contactable portion of the power module 40 contacts water through the opening 22.
[0038] As a further improvement of the present invention, a second sealing member 23 is provided at the bottom of the second recessed portion 21, and the second sealing member 23 is arranged around the opening 22. By providing the second sealing member 23 at the bottom of the second recessed portion 21 and arranging the second sealing member 23 around the opening 22, the power module 40 is abutted against the bottom of the second recessed portion 21 through the second sealing member 23, thereby preventing water from penetrating into the interior of the power module 40 from the gap between the opening 22 and the power module 40, thereby damaging the power module 40.
[0039] As a further improvement of the present utility model, a positioning hole 111 is provided on the periphery of the first recessed portion 11, and a positioning piece 112 is provided in the positioning hole 111. The positioning piece 112 cooperates with the positioning hole 111 to fix the power module 40. By providing the positioning hole 111 on the periphery of the first recessed portion 11 and providing the positioning piece 112 in the positioning hole 111, the positioning piece 112 can cooperate with the power module 40 to fix the power module 40 between the positioning piece 112 and the positioning hole 111, thereby fixing the power module 40. Preferably, the positioning piece 112 is made of high temperature resistant thermoplastic plastic to prevent the plating of the power module 40 from being worn during the positioning and taking process of the power module 40.
[0040] As a further improvement of the present invention, hinges 13 are arranged at intervals on one side of the upper end surface of the substrate 10, and the substrate 10 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 20 through the hinges 13. By arranging hinges 13 at intervals on one side of the upper end surface of the substrate 10, the substrate 10 and the cover plate 20 can be rotatably connected through the hinges 13, and the accommodating cavity 30 can be opened and closed by rotating the substrate 10 or the cover plate 20, so as to facilitate the placement and removal of the power module 40. Preferably, the maximum opening angle of the hinge 13 is 180°, so as to ensure that there is enough space when placing and removing the power module 40, and avoid touching the power module 40 during the placement and removal process.
[0041] As a further improvement of the present invention, locking pieces 14 are arranged at intervals on the side walls of the substrate 10, and the locking pieces 14 are detachably connected to the cover plate 20. By arranging locking pieces 14 at intervals on the side walls of the substrate 10 and detachably connecting the cover plate 20 through the locking pieces 14, the tightness of the connection between the substrate 10 and the cover plate 20 is ensured. Preferably, the locking pieces 14 are spring buckles, and the spring pressure of the spring buckle is not less than 5kg, thereby ensuring the sealing of the substrate 10 and the cover plate 20 after closing.
[0042] As a further improvement of the present invention, the number of the first recessed parts 11 is four, the four first recessed parts 11 are arranged in an array, and the number of the second recessed parts 21 is set corresponding to the number of the first recessed parts 11. By having the number of the first recessed parts 11 being four, the four first recessed parts 11 being arranged in an array, and the number of the second recessed parts 21 being set corresponding to the number of the first recessed parts 11, four first recessed parts 11 corresponding to four second recessed parts 21 form four accommodating cavities 30, it is possible to assemble four power modules 40 with one fixture, shorten the clamping time, and improve the detection efficiency. In practical applications, the number of the first recessed parts 11 can be specifically set according to the actual situation, and the present invention embodiment will not elaborate on this.
[0043] As a further improvement of the present invention, the substrate 10 and the cover plate 20 are made of aluminum alloy, and the positioning member 112 is made of plastic. By setting the substrate 10 and the cover plate 20 to be made of aluminum alloy, the tooling fixture can be prevented from rusting after being used in water for a long time. At the same time, the aluminum alloy is light in weight and convenient to take and place. By setting the positioning member 112 to be made of plastic, the plating layer of the power module 40 can be prevented from being worn during the positioning and taking process of the power module 40.
[0044] As a further improvement of the present invention, the side wall of the substrate 10 is further provided with a gripping member 15, through which the gripping member 15 can cooperate with the automatic gripper to realize automatic picking up of the tooling fixture, thereby avoiding fatigue of workers caused by long-time manual picking up and affecting the detection efficiency.
