Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switching power supplies, and particularly relates to a combined power device mounting structure. Background Art

[0002] One of the installation methods of traditional TO220 package and TO247 package plug-in power devices is that screws pass through the device heat dissipation holes and are fixedly installed on the radiator. This method is relatively direct and common, but it is not applicable to the application requirements of rail transit products with high voltage resistance and insulation requirements. Another method is to press a pressure bar or a spring piece on the black plastic body of the device, and then use screws to fix the pressure bar or the spring piece. In order to meet the insulation and voltage resistance requirements, the device is usually sleeved with a mica bag. However, it is found in actual applications that when using a pressure bar for fixation, in a power supply product with a dense radiator and devices, when performing subsequent maintenance, the screwdriver needs to be placed flat to screw the screws, and the screws are not convenient to remove, resulting in the need to remove many surrounding devices during maintenance to replace the possibly damaged switching device. In addition, when using a spring piece to press the device, in long-term on-site use, small deformations of the spring piece have occurred, resulting in a decrease in elastic force and causing the device to overheat and be damaged. In addition, both the pressure bar and the spring piece pressing device methods require screw fixing holes to be opened at specific positions for heat dissipation, which limits the flexibility of the device placement position in the PCB design and is not conducive to the subsequent standardization of radiators for different power supplies. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the traditional scheme of pressing power devices with a pressure bar or a spring piece is limited by the requirements of opening holes for screw and pressure bar fixing positions, which is not conducive to device layout. The traditional installation method requires a screwdriver to be placed parallel to screw the screws, and the traditional screw fixing cannot be used in scenarios with high insulation and voltage resistance requirements. The utility model provides a combined power device mounting structure with a compact structure, convenient operation, good insulation and voltage resistance performance, and is conducive to the PCB layout of devices.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] As a further improvement of the utility model, an insulating sheet is further included, and the insulating sheet is located between the power device and the radiator.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the cross-sectional dimension of the insulating sheet is larger than that of the power device.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present utility model, one end of the sliding groove is a right-angle structure, the other end of the sliding groove is an acute-angle structure, and the acute-angle end of the sliding groove is close to the insulating sheet.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the end of the second bent portion is upturned.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present utility model, sliding grooves are symmetrically provided on two sides of the radiator.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the pressing strip is integrally made of an elastic material.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present utility model, the insulating sheet is made of a mica bag or an alumina ceramic sheet or a aluminum nitride ceramic sheet.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] The combined power device mounting structure of the present utility model realizes the mounting of the power device on the radiator by providing a sliding groove on the side surface of the radiator, slidingly nesting one end of the slider in the sliding groove, detachably connecting the other end of the slider to the first bent portion of the pressing strip by a screw, and pressing the second bent portion of the pressing strip on the power device.

[0022] Embodiment

[0023] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the combined power device mounting structure of the present invention includes: a radiator 1, a pressure strip 2, a screw 3, and a slide block 4. The pressure strip 2 is integrally made of an elastic material. The pressure strip 2 includes an integrally formed first bending part 21 and a second bending part 22. A slide groove 11 is provided on the side of the radiator 1, and the slide block 4 is matched with the slide groove 11. One end of the slide block 4 is slidably nested in the slide groove 11 and can reciprocate on the surface of the radiator 1 along the slide groove 11; the other end of the slide block 4 is detachably connected to the first bending part 21 of the pressure strip 2 by a screw 3, and the threaded holes on the slide block 4 and the first bending part 21 are both inclined upward to realize the inclined screwing of the screw 3. The second bending part 22 of the pressure strip 2 presses on the power device 6 to press the power device 6 against the side of the radiator 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, a sliding groove 11 is provided on the side of the radiator 1, one end of the slider 4 is slidably nested in the sliding groove 11, and the other end of the slider 4 is detachably connected to the first bent portion 21 of the pressure strip 2 through a screw 3. The second bent portion 22 of the pressure strip 2 presses on the power device 6, that is, the power device 6 is installed on the radiator 1. Moreover, the threaded holes on the slider 4 and the first bent portion 21 both incline upward, and the screw 3 is tightened obliquely downward by a screwdriver, which will not be interfered by the surrounding devices and is convenient for product maintenance. Also, since the slider 4 and the pressure strip 2 are decoupled from the radiator 1, the slider 4 can move to any position on the sliding groove 11 of the radiator 1, so that the layout of the power device 4 does not need to be locked corresponding to the screw mounting holes of the radiator 1, the PCB layout position of the power device is more flexible, which is more beneficial for the subsequent unification of the radiator system.

[0025] In this embodiment, an insulating sheet 5 is further included. The insulating sheet 5 is fixed on the radiator 1 and is located between the power device 6 and the radiator 1. The insulation withstand voltage can be adjusted in design according to needs, and it is not affected by the spacing of the power device 6 itself. Moreover, the power device 6 is exposed to the air, which is more conducive to heat dissipation.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, the cross-sectional dimension of the insulating sheet 5 is larger than that of the power device 6, and the power device 6 is located at the middle position of the insulating sheet 5 to ensure sufficient insulation between the power device 6 and the radiator 1.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, one end of the sliding groove 11 is a right-angle structure, the other end of the sliding groove 11 is an acute-angle structure, and the acute-angle end of the sliding groove 11 is close to the insulating sheet 5. Correspondingly, one end of the slider 4 is also provided with a right-angle structure, and the other end is also provided with an acute-angle structure. When the slider 4 is nested inside the sliding groove 11 and the slider 4 is fixedly connected to the first bent portion 21 of the pressure strip 2 through a screw 3, the second bent portion 22 presses on the power device 6, and the pressure strip 2 will give the slider 4 a force towards the radiator 1, so that the slider 4 is more firmly buckled in the sliding groove 11.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown, a positioning groove 41 is provided at the end of the slider 4, and a protrusion 211 is provided at the end of the first bent portion 21. The protrusion 211 matches the positioning groove 41. When the pressure strip 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 4, the protrusion 211 is buckled in the positioning groove 41 to improve the connection stability between the pressure strip 2 and the slider 4.

[0029] As Figure 2 shown, the end of the second bent portion 22 warps upward to avoid damaging the power device 6.

[0030] As Figure 2As shown, sliding grooves 11 are symmetrically provided on two side faces of the radiator 1 to enable the installation of the power device 6 on both side faces of the radiator 1.

[0031] For application scenarios with low heat dissipation requirements, the insulating sheet 5 can be a mica bag or an alumina ceramic sheet. For scenarios with high heat dissipation requirements, the insulating sheet 5 can be an aluminum nitride ceramic sheet. The ceramic has good heat conduction performance and is insulated and withstands voltage, so that when the output power of the power device 6 is relatively large, the heat can still be effectively conducted to the radiator 1 and dissipated, effectively protecting the power device 6, extending its service life, and the ceramic sheet has a relatively low price, which can reduce the production cost.

[0032] Working principle: The first bent portion 21 of the pressing strip 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 4 through the screw 3. The second bent portion 21 of the pressing strip 2 is in interference fit with the power device 6, pressing the power device 6 on the insulating sheet 5, and the insulating sheet 5 is arranged on the radiator 1; the interference fit of the pressing strip 2 applies an elastic force to the power device 6, making the power device 6 firmly fixed and preventing it from being shaken off by vibration; at the same time, the power device 6 is in full contact with the insulating sheet 5, and the power device 6 is completely fixed, so that the heat dissipation of the power device 6 is stable. In this embodiment, the pressing strip 2, the slider 4, the radiator 1 and the power device 6 are decoupled, so that their positions are not restricted by the positions of the screw mounting holes, which can more conveniently arrange the PCB of the power device 6 to a greater extent. Compared with traditional power devices, it has greater advantages in the installation method.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
