It cannot be adjusted to accommodate discrete IGBT modules of different sizes, which can lead to problems such as insufficient water-cooling plate area or incomplete installation of the discrete IGBT module. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a discrete IGBT module structure, including a module base plate 001, a water-cooled plate assembly 002 disposed in the middle of the top of the module base plate 001, a cylinder 008 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the water-cooled plate assembly 002, a main rotating plate 009 rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom of the water-cooled plate assembly 002, a first connecting rod 010 rotatably connected to one side of the main rotating plate 009, a spring rod 011 fixedly connected to the side of the water-cooled plate assembly 002 near the cylinder 008, and a second connecting rod 013 rotatably connected to one side of the spring rod 011.
[0024] The water-cooled plate assembly 002 consists of a sleeve plate, a slider, and an inner plate. The sleeve plate has a groove inside that matches the slider, and the outer diameter of the inner plate matches the inner diameter of the sleeve plate.
[0025] The inner plate is driven by cylinder 008. When the inner plate moves under the drive of cylinder 008, the main rotating plate 009 and the first connecting rod 010 work together to allow the sleeve plate and the inner plate to unfold inward or outward as needed, thereby adjusting the water-cooled plate assembly 002. During the adjustment process, the spring rod 011 at the bottom of the water-cooled plate assembly 002 can provide support and buffer when it moves inward or outward, thereby adjusting the water-cooled plate assembly according to the needs of different IGBT modules.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, a pipe connector 003 is fixedly connected to one side of the water-cooled plate assembly 002, a fuse board 004 is provided on one side of the top of the module base plate 001, an isolation column 005 is fixedly connected to the side of the fuse board 004 near the module base plate 001, and a signal board 006 is provided on the top of the module base plate 001 near the side of the water-cooled plate assembly 002.
[0027] The above scheme is adopted as follows: a pipe connector 003 is fixedly connected to one side of the water-cooled plate assembly 002. The pipe connector 003 is used to connect the inlet and outlet hoses of the water-cooled plate assembly 002. A fuse plate 004 is provided on one side of the top of the module base plate 001. The fuse plate 004 is provided to facilitate the fixing of fuses. An isolation post 005 is provided on the side of the fuse plate 004 near the module base plate 001 to facilitate the fixing and support of the multi-layer fuse plate 004. A signal plate 006 is provided on the module base plate 001 to facilitate the connection of signal lines.
[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a single discrete IGBT 007 is movably connected inside the water-cooled plate assembly 002. A cooling pipe 012 is provided inside the water-cooled plate assembly 002 on the side close to the single discrete IGBT 007. The number of first connecting rods 010 is set to two, and the number of second connecting rods 013 is set to four. The first connecting rods 010 and the second connecting rods 013 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft.
[0029] The above-mentioned solution involves a single discrete IGBT 007 internally connected to the water-cooled plate assembly 002. This unique design enables the water-cooled plate assembly 002 to achieve superior heat dissipation performance and higher reliability. Inside the water-cooled plate assembly 002, near the single discrete IGBT 007, a cooling pipe 012 is installed. The function of this cooling pipe 012 is to directly remove the heat generated by the module, thereby effectively reducing the module's temperature and ensuring its optimal operation. The first link 010 and the second link 013 are configured as two and four, respectively. These links are connected together by a pivot, allowing for more flexible and smooth operation. This design not only facilitates the operation of the links but also drives the operation between the inner plate and the outer plate, thereby ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the entire system. Through this carefully designed structure, the water-cooled plate assembly 002 can better perform its heat dissipation function while maintaining the high reliability and stability of the entire system.
[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the spring rod 011 consists of a telescopic rod, a sliding rod, and a spring. The inner diameter of the sliding rod is matched with the outer diameter of the telescopic rod. One side of the cylinder 008 is fixedly connected to the inner plate inside the water-cooled plate assembly 002. The two first connecting rods 010 are fixedly connected to the sleeve plate and the inner plate on the side away from the main rotating plate 009. The four second connecting rods 013 are fixedly connected to the sleeve plate and the inner plate on the side away from the spring rod 011.
[0031] The above-mentioned scheme is adopted: the spring rod 011 is composed of a telescopic rod, a sliding rod, and a spring, so that when the water-cooled plate assembly 002 is adjusted, the sliding rod can drive the spring to slide on the telescopic rod. The inner diameter of the sliding rod is adapted to the outer diameter of the telescopic rod. This design allows the sliding rod to slide on the surface of the telescopic rod, thereby achieving a smooth adjustment. One side of the cylinder 008 is fixedly connected to the inner plate inside the water-cooled plate assembly 002. This connection method facilitates the movement of the inner plate through the setting of the cylinder 008. The first connecting rod 010 and the second connecting rod 013 are respectively connected to the inner plate and the sleeve plate inside the water-cooled plate assembly 002. This overall structural design allows the various components to work together, thereby improving the operation. Through this structural design, the water-cooled plate assembly 002 can be directly adjusted, improving the efficiency and accuracy of adjustment.
[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0033] First, the cylinder 008 drives the inner plate, so that the first connecting rod 010 connected to the inner plate can be adjusted by the main rotating plate 009. This allows the water-cooled plate assembly 002 to adjust the spacing according to different individual discrete IGBTs 007. When the spacing of the water-cooled plate assembly 002 is adjusted, the spring rod 011 on one side can play a supporting and buffering role, which facilitates better adjustment of the spacing between the water-cooled plate assemblies 002.
