Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power semiconductor applications, and in particular relates to an air-cooled large-capacity thyristor power module. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the use of thyristors to build three-phase fully controlled power bridges is widely used in industrial power control, power electronic transmission, and other fields. For example, they can be used as rectifiers to convert AC power into DC power, or as power components in inverters to convert industrial frequency AC power into frequency-adjustable AC power. These are used in motor speed regulation, power regulation, and servo systems, offering numerous advantages such as high output current, smooth current flow, and high reliability. However, in high-power thyristor applications, a single power bridge is often required to output several megawatts or even tens of megawatts of power. To meet this high-power output requirement, it is necessary to achieve voltage and current boosting for the power devices and power bridges by connecting multiple thyristors in series or multiple fully controlled bridges in series and parallel, ultimately achieving the goal of increasing power output.

[0003] Given the high heat generated in high-power thyristor applications, strict requirements are placed on heat dissipation capabilities. In existing air-cooling technologies, to address the thermal challenges brought on by high currents, conventional design strategies tend to increase module size to ensure sufficient heat dissipation space, but this approach inevitably sacrifices power density. More commonly, a single three-phase fully controlled bridge is used as an independent module unit, each packaged into a cabinet, and then connected in series and parallel between multiple cabinets to achieve high power output requirements. However, this design approach has technical issues such as low power density and high on-site installation space requirements, which in turn increases the complexity of equipment operation and maintenance and increases costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a thyristor power module with a new structure to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] The advantages of adopting the utility model are:

[0018] 1. The thyristor power module described in the utility model, first of all, forms a modular structural design by alternately arranging crimping channels and insulating mounting grooves on the module frame, installing a thyristor power component on each crimping channel, and installing a drive protection component on the insulating mounting groove, which effectively reduces the device size, saves installation space, and significantly reduces the equipment cost.

[0019] Secondly, the structural design of installing the thyristor, crimping copper plate and heat sink on the crimping channel through the adjustable butterfly crimping mechanism and support parts enables the adjustable butterfly crimping mechanism to apply vertical pressure to the thyristor power component. At the same time, the force direction of the thyristor power component is constrained through the crimping channel, ensuring the reliable crimping and fixation of the entire thyristor power component, and realizing the crimping stability of the heat sink, thyristor and crimping copper plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the radiator is equipped with an air-cooling channel connecting the front and rear sides of the crimping channel, which effectively solves the technical problem of heat dissipation difficulties of large-capacity power bridges and significantly enhances the operational reliability of the thyristor power module.

This structural design not only achieves high modularity and ensures the high power density and compact installation space requirements of the thyristor power module, but also improves the reliability of the connection between the thyristor, the crimping copper plate and the heat sink in the crimping channel, thereby improving the overall stability of the thyristor power module.

[0025] 4.

[0037] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. For ease of description, the relative positional relationships of the various components are described based on the layout of the drawings in the specification. For example, the positional relationships of front, back, up, down, left, and right are determined based on the layout directions of the drawings in the specification.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] The utility model is an air-cooled large-capacity thyristor power module, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the module frame 3 includes a crimping channel 13 and an insulating mounting groove 16 arranged alternately. Preferably, the insulating mounting groove 16 is detachably fixed in the module frame 3. Any crimping channel 13 is located between two insulating mounting grooves 16. Each crimping channel 13 is provided with a thyristor power component 1. Figure 2 Taking the direction shown as an example, the upper and lower ends of the thyristor power component 1 are fixed in the crimping channel 13 by the adjustable butterfly crimping mechanism 5 and the support 9 respectively. The design of the adjustable butterfly crimping mechanism 5 and the support 9 ensures the stable crimping installation of the thyristor power component 1 on the crimping channel 13.

[0040] The adjustable butterfly crimping mechanism 5 includes components such as crimping bolts, disc springs, upper insulating columns, crimping support copper plates, etc. that can realize the crimping adjustment function. Since the relevant components in the adjustable butterfly crimping mechanism 5 and their connection relationships are known technologies to technical personnel in this field, they will not be repeated here.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the thyristor power component 1 includes multiple thyristors 7, and a heat sink 6 is fixed on the upper and lower surfaces of each thyristor 7. The two heat sinks 6 between adjacent thyristors 7 are electrically connected by a crimped copper plate 8. The crimped copper plate 8 serves as a medium for power transmission, which not only ensures the contact area between adjacent heat sinks 6, but also realizes a close connection between the two heat sinks 6 through its structural design, ensuring the stability of the series voltage of the entire thyristor power component 1. At the same time, in addition to playing a heat dissipation role, the heat sink 6 also acts as a conductor for power transmission.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the heat sink 6 is an aluminum rectangular parallelepiped, and is provided with an air cooling channel 61 connecting the front and rear sides of the crimping channel 13, thereby forming a Figure 4 The air circulation cooling structure shown, with air entering from the rear side and air exiting from the front side of the crimping channel 13 , realizes air cooling and heat dissipation of the entire thyristor power module.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, multiple groups of driving protection components 2 are evenly distributed in the insulating mounting groove 16, each group of driving protection components 2 corresponds to a thyristor 7, and each group of driving protection components 2 is connected to the heat sink 6 on the upper and lower surfaces of the corresponding thyristor 7 through cables to achieve surge absorption and protection of the thyristor 7.

[0044] like Figure 4 、 Figure 7-9 As shown, a loop connector 14 connected to the thyristor power assembly 1 is installed on the rear side of each crimping channel 13. Specifically, loop connector 14 is preferably a soft loop connector made of laminated copper sheets. One end is crimped to the thyristor power assembly 1, and the other end serves as an external loop connection interface. Loop connector 14 can be flexibly adjusted in position and installation length according to different power loop connection designs to ensure reliable and convenient connection. Furthermore, each crimping channel 13 forms a branch arm through the series connection of thyristors 7. The branch arm and loop connector 14 cooperate to form a three-phase fully controlled power bridge, thereby outputting high voltage and high current to external devices.

[0045] Each group of driving protection components 2 includes a filter capacitor 10, a protective resistor 11 and a thyristor driving module 12. The thyristor driving module 12 is connected to the external control device by optical fiber. Preferably, the filter capacitor 10 is a metallized polypropylene film capacitor with an aluminum shell, and the protective resistor 11 is an aluminum shell resistor. Specifically, the filter capacitor 10, the protective resistor 11 and the thyristor driving module 12 in each group of driving protection components 2 correspond to a thyristor 7 together. The filter capacitor 10 is horizontally installed in the insulating mounting groove 16 on one side of the crimping channel 13, and the filter capacitor 10 in each group of driving protection components 2 is arranged vertically; the thyristor driving module 12 is installed in the insulating mounting groove 16 on the other side of the crimping channel 13, and the thyristor driving module 12 in each group of driving protection components 2 is arranged vertically; the protective resistor 11 is arranged in the crimping channel 13 and is located in front of the radiator 6, and the protective resistor 11 in each group of driving protection components 2 is symmetrically installed on the wall of the adjacent insulating mounting groove 16.

[0046] The filter capacitor 10, the protective resistor 11 and the thyristor drive module 12 in each group of the driving protection component 2 are connected in series, and the thyristor drive module 12 is connected to the corresponding thyristor 7 and the heat sinks 6 on the upper and lower sides of the corresponding thyristor 7 through cables. Since the specific connection principle between the filter capacitor 10, the protective resistor 11, the thyristor drive module 12, the corresponding thyristor 7 and the heat sinks 6 on the upper and lower sides of the corresponding thyristor 7 belongs to the technology known to those skilled in the art, it will not be repeated here. In addition, the thyristor drive module 12 has no low-voltage control power supply access and is suitable for special high-voltage operating environments. At the same time, the transmission method of the drive signal of the thyristor 7 adopts optical transmission, and the transmission reliability is high. For example Figure 5The functional diagram of the thyristor driving module 12 is as follows. The thyristor driving module 12 integrates the functions of the high-voltage self-energy circuit, the pulse triggering circuit, the overvoltage protection circuit and the optical fiber communication circuit. Its control and protection functions are perfect, and can realize the driving and protection of the corresponding thyristor 7. Among them, the high-voltage self-energy circuit can obtain the pulse triggering power supply to ensure the physical isolation of the high and low voltage power supply systems, and the operation is safer. It should be noted that the connection relationship between the high-voltage self-energy circuit, the pulse triggering circuit, the overvoltage protection circuit and the optical fiber communication circuit, as well as the connection relationship between each circuit and the corresponding thyristor 7, are all known technologies and will not be repeated here.

[0047] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the module frame 3 includes an upper crossbeam 4 and a lower crossbeam 15. The crimping channel 13 and the insulating mounting groove 16 are located between the upper crossbeam 4 and the lower crossbeam 15. The notch of the insulating mounting groove 16 protrudes forward from the module frame 3. Preferably, to ensure the stability of the thyristor power module of the present invention, the upper crossbeam 4 and the lower crossbeam 15 can be made of steel.

[0048] Furthermore, the adjustable butterfly pressing mechanism 5 and the support member 9 are detachably fixed on the upper crossbeam 4 and the lower crossbeam 15 respectively. The adjustable butterfly pressing mechanism 5 is connected to the uppermost radiator 6 through a pressing copper plate 8, and the support member 9 is connected to the lowermost radiator 6 through a pressing copper plate 8. The remaining pressing copper plates 8 are respectively abutted between the two adjacent radiators 6. Thus, the adjustable butterfly pressing mechanism 5 cooperates with the support member 9 to apply pressure to the thyristor power component 1 and presses the thyristor power component 1 through the pressing channel 13. The force direction of the thyristor power component 1 is constrained so that the heat sink 6, the thyristor 7 and the crimping copper plate 8 form a stable I-shaped series pressure structure in the crimping channel 13 through the adjustable butterfly crimping mechanism 5 and the support 9; concentric positioning holes are respectively provided in the centers of the heat sink 6 and the thyristor 7, and positioning pins are installed in the concentric positioning holes. The thyristor 7 and the heat sink 6 are connected by a pin shaft and are crimped tightly to each other, and the heat sink 6 is fixed to the walls of two adjacent insulating mounting grooves 16 through positioning pieces.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 4 、 Figure 7-9 As shown, there are multiple loop connectors 14 on the rear side of each crimping channel 13. Each loop connector 14 cooperates with at least two thyristors 7 to form a three-phase fully controlled power bridge arm. Each arm can be connected to the copper busbar through a loop connector 14.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Based on Example 1, this embodiment further illustrates the flexibility of the application scenarios of the thyristor power module. Multiple loop connectors 14 can be fixed at different positions on the rear side of the crimping channel 13, respectively. By adjusting the installation position of the loop connector 14 and changing the loop connection, and cooperating with the thyristor power component 1, the connection and function of different application modes of the three-phase fully controlled power bridge can be realized. Specifically, the number of crimping channels 13 is three, and the number of thyristors 7 in series on each crimping channel 13 is eight, that is, the entire thyristor power module can meet the parallel installation of three groups of thyristor power components 1, thereby realizing the installation of twenty-four thyristors 7. The specification range of the thyristor power module is: width ≤1450mm, depth ≤500mm, height ≤1850mm. It supports overall installation, and can be directly installed in the electrical equipment cabinet, and is also suitable for installation requirements on containers or fixed brackets.
