Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power equipment, in particular to a fixing device for a power module. Background Art
[0002] In the past, for inverter power products, full enclosure or suspension schemes were often used for charging modules. When using the full enclosure scheme, the overall module needs to be enclosed, resulting in a relatively large overall size. The suspension scheme mainly suspends key parts, and the input and output terminals need to be inserted separately, which is inconvenient for installation. In addition, the suspension scheme has relatively strict requirements for product alignment, and uneven stress may cause the module to tilt. The suspension scheme cannot guarantee the protection effect during transportation, and short-circuit fires are also likely to occur due to accidental contact with assembly tools during the assembly process. The full enclosure scheme has a relatively high overall cost, wastes the area in the middle that does not need to be enclosed, and at the same time, the ventilation volume at the output end is affected.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fixing device for a power module, which provides precise positioning for the installation of the power module, fixes it in a predetermined position, can be operated at the customer site, fixes the module as a whole, ensures the stability of the module during installation and transportation, and has good heat dissipation performance.
