Specific implementation manner

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 - 3 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model includes a patch 1. A heat conducting plate 2 is placed above the patch 1. A plurality of heat sinks 3 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the heat conducting plate 2. A connecting piece 4 is fixedly connected to the heat sink 3. U-shaped grooves 5 are opened on the top surface of the heat conducting plate 2 and between two heat sinks 3. Fixing blocks 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top surface of the patch 1. An adjustment groove 20 is opened on one side of the fixing block 10 close to the heat conducting plate 2. A card block 8 is slidably connected in the adjustment groove 20. Card slots 7 are opened on both sides of the heat conducting plate 2. One ends of the two card blocks 8 are respectively clamped in the two card slots 7. Thread grooves 9 are opened on the sides of the two card blocks 8 away from the card slots 7. Threaded rods 11 are threadedly connected in the thread grooves 9. One ends of the two threaded rods 11 penetrate through the fixing block 10 and extend to the outside of the fixing block 10 and are fixedly connected to rotating blocks 21. An adjustment groove 16 is opened on one side of the rotating block 21 close to the fixing block 10. An insert block 15 is slidably connected in the adjustment groove 16. One end of the insert block 15 extends out of the adjustment groove 16 and is inserted into the fixing block 10. A pull rod 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the insert block 15 away from the fixing block 10. The end of the pull rod 18 away from the insert block 15 penetrates through the outside of the rotating block 21 and is fixedly connected to a pull block 19. A spring 17 is sleeved on the adjustment groove 16. Two ends of the spring 17 are respectively fixedly connected to the insert block 15 and the inner surface of the adjustment groove 16. After the heat sink 3 is bent, in the case where the heights occupied by the heat sinks 3 are the same, the surface area of the heat sink 3 can be increased by using the bending method, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 3 for the silicon carbide module can be improved.

[0029] The heat sink 3 is provided with a plurality of through holes 6. The heat sink 3 includes at least two bends. Both ends of the connecting piece 4 are fixedly connected to one side of two adjacent heat sinks 3 respectively. Through the connecting piece 4, the impact resistance of the heat sink 3 for the silicon carbide module can be effectively improved, preventing the heat sink 3 from being damaged and affecting the heat dissipation effect, thereby improving the service life and practicability. Sliders 13 are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping block 8. Sliding grooves 12 are provided on the inner surfaces of the upper and lower sides of the adjusting groove 20. The sliders 13 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 12. The external thread of the threaded rod 11 is adapted to the internal thread of the threaded groove 9. A plurality of insertion slots 14 are circumferentially formed around the threaded rod 11 on the side of the fixed block 10 away from the heat conducting plate 2. One end of the insertion block 15 is inserted into one of the insertion slots 14. The angle of each bend on each heat sink 3 is less than 45 degrees.

[0030] Working principle: The number of heat sinks 3 on different heat conducting plates 2 is different. According to the heat generation conditions of different silicon carbide modules, a suitable heat conducting plate 2 can be selected for replacement. By pulling the pull block 19, the pull block 19 pulls the pull rod 18 and the insertion block 15, so that the insertion block 15 is removed from the insertion slot 14. Then, rotate the rotating block 21, and the rotating block 21 drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate, causing the clamping block 8 to move. When the clamping block 8 is removed from the clamping groove 7, replacement can be carried out, increasing or decreasing the number of heat sinks 3. The number of heat sinks 3 is proportional to the heat dissipation effect. The temperature generated during the operation of the silicon carbide module is absorbed and conducted to the heat conducting plate 2 through the patch 1 and volatilized through the heat sink 3. After the heat sink 3 is bent, in the case of the same height occupied by the heat sink 3, the bending method can increase the surface area of the heat sink 3 and improve the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink for the silicon carbide module. Through the connecting piece 4, the impact resistance of the heat sink 3 for the silicon carbide module can be effectively improved, preventing the heat sink 3 from being damaged and affecting the heat dissipation effect, thereby improving the service life and practicability.
