[0002] A power module is a functional combination of power electronic devices encapsulated into a module. With the rapid development of modern technology, the market demand for power modules is increasing rapidly. The heat dissipation effect of power modules will affect the use of the modules. Therefore, the heat dissipation problem of power modules has become a top priority. For example, Chinese Patent CN202210614207.2 discloses a power module assembly, a motor controller and a vehicle, which includes a chip layer. The chip layer includes a substrate and a first chip and a second chip disposed on the substrate; a first phase change heat exchanger and a second phase change heat exchanger. Phase change media are disposed in both the first phase change heat exchanger and the second phase change heat exchanger, and heat of the chip layer is absorbed through phase change. The first phase change heat exchanger exchanges heat with the first chip, and the second phase change heat exchanger exchanges heat with the second chip.

[0017] The following further details the specific embodiments of the present utility model. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of the present utility model herein does not limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] As Figure 1 shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of a spray-cooled power module provided by the present utility model. The spray-cooled power module includes a heat dissipation base plate 10, a heat dissipation water channel 20 covering the heat dissipation base plate 10, and several chips 30 welded on the heat dissipation base plate 10. It can be imagined that the spray-cooled power module also includes some other functional modules, such as electrical component modules, power supply modules, etc., which are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 together. A housing 11 is provided on the side of the heat dissipation base plate 10 away from the heat dissipation water channel 20. The housing 11 is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation base plate 10 through four fasteners provided at the corners of the housing 11 to protect the chip 30 and facilitate subsequent potting and encapsulation operations on the chip 30.

[0020] The heat dissipation water channel 20 includes a body 21, at least two water inlets 22 opened on the side of the body 21 away from the heat dissipation base plate 10, at least two water outlets 23 opened on opposite sides of the body 21, and several nozzles 24 provided in the body 21.

[0021] An inlet chamber 25 is opened at one end of the water inlet 22 facing the heat dissipation base plate 10. The diameter of the inlet chamber 25 is larger than that of the water inlet 22. The inlet chamber 25 is used to store diffused coolant, thereby increasing the number of the nozzles 24 and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0022] At least two cooling chambers 26 are opened on the side of the body 21 facing the heat dissipation base plate 10. The two cooling chambers 26 correspond to the two inlet chambers 25 respectively and are communicated with the two water outlets 23 respectively.

[0023] Several of the nozzles 24 are respectively fixedly provided between the inlet chamber 25 and the cooling chamber 26. The nozzle 24 includes a water pipe 27 and a spray head 28 provided at the end of the water pipe 27.

[0024] The water pipes 27 are divided into three types, namely, a plurality of first water pipes 271 facing the water inlet 22, a plurality of second water pipes 272 corresponding to the edge of the water inlet 22, and a plurality of third water pipes 273 corresponding to the water inlet chamber 25. The end of the first water pipe 271 away from the nozzle 28 abuts against the water inlet chamber 25, so that the coolant in the water inlet chamber 25 can directly enter the first water pipe 271 and be sprayed out from the nozzle 28. The end of the second water pipe 272 away from the nozzle 28 is in a semicircular tube shape, and its concave surface faces the center of the water inlet 22, so that the efficiency of the second water pipe 272 receiving the coolant is improved. The end of the third water pipe 273 away from the nozzle 28 is located in the water inlet chamber 25, and the length of the third water pipe 273 is greater than the length of the first water pipe 271. When the coolant hits the third water pipe 273, it can form a small kick flow with the third water pipe 273, thereby increasing the flow rate of the coolant and further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0025] The end of the nozzle 28 away from the water pipe 27 is in a convex arc shape, and is provided with a plurality of nozzles 29, which are connected to the water pipe 27, thereby increasing the flow rate of the coolant, so that the coolant can be dispersedly sprayed onto the surface of the heat dissipation base plate 10 through the plurality of nozzles 29, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] Copper clip bonding is used between several chips 30 to replace the original aluminum wire bonding, which improves the structure of the module and makes the layout more reasonable. The chip 30 is soldered on the DBC substrate by solder reflow once, and then the module is soldered on the heat dissipation base plate 10 by reflow twice. The chip 30 and the reflow soldering operation should be prior art, and their working principles will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the jet cooling power module provided by the utility model sprays high-speed jets of coolant onto the cooling base plate 10 through a plurality of the nozzles 24, thereby greatly improving the heat dissipation capacity of the module and the outflow capacity of the module. The module uses copper clip bonding to replace the original aluminum wire bonding, which improves the structure of the module and makes the layout more reasonable.

[0028] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent substitution or improvement within the spirit of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
