Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of diodes, and specifically to a diode module base plate. Background Technology

[0002] The diode module base plate is a key structural component in power semiconductor modules. It not only provides mechanical support for the module but also plays an important role in heat dissipation, electrical insulation, and mechanical connection.

[0003] Existing module base plates are usually flat structures. The diode modules are mounted on the base plate and insulated between them using ceramic sheets. There are no other treatments to enhance the insulation.

[0004] However, considering the installation space of the diode module, the overall volume is made as small as possible. This also means that each component needs to be as small as possible. Therefore, the thickness of the ceramic sheet used for the insulating base plate and the diode module is also relatively small.

[0005] Thin ceramic sheets shorten the creepage distance between the diode module and the base plate, and shorter creepage distances can easily lead to problems such as leakage current, tracking, and flashover. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problem—namely, the short creepage distance resulting from existing base plates relying on ceramic sheets for insulation between the base plate and the diode module—this invention proposes a diode module base plate. The base plate includes a mounting plate with an annular groove on its upper surface. A mounting portion is positioned in the center of the annular groove, and a ceramic sheet is coaxially mounted on the mounting portion. The diameter of the ceramic sheet is larger than the diameter of the mounting portion. A diode module is mounted on the upper surface of the ceramic sheet. An insulating adhesive is filled within the annular groove, and the edge of the ceramic sheet contacts the insulating adhesive.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that a groove is recessed on the surface of the annular groove near the mounting side to enhance the strength of the adhesive.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that a high-fiber insulating coating is provided between the mounting portion and the ceramic sheet, and the high-fiber insulating coating is provided on the side surface of the annular groove near the mounting portion and inside the slot.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the diode module includes an anode electrode, the anode electrode is disposed on the upper surface of the ceramic sheet, a chip is disposed on the upper surface of the anode electrode, a cathode electrode with a T-shaped cross-section is disposed on the upper surface of the chip, a disc spring is sleeved on the cathode electrode, a pressure plate is pressed onto the disc spring, and the pressure plate is connected to the mounting base plate by bolts.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the anode electrode is configured as a right angle, with one panel arranged parallel to the mounting base plate and the other panel arranged perpendicular to the mounting base plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. By setting the insulating adhesive in the annular groove, the edge of the ceramic sheet can come into contact with the insulating adhesive, thereby increasing the creepage distance between the diode module and the base plate and improving the insulation capability between the diode module and the base plate.

[0013] 2. A high-fiber insulating coating is placed between the ceramic plate and the annular groove to prevent short-distance creepage of current due to poor contact between the ceramic plate and the insulating adhesive, thus further ensuring the insulation capability of the diode module.

[0018] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Reference Appendix Figure 1-3This utility model proposes a diode module base plate, including a mounting base plate 1. An annular groove 11 is formed on the upper surface of the mounting base plate 1. A circular mounting portion is formed in the center of the annular groove 11. A circular ceramic plate 2 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting portion. The ceramic plate 2 is coaxially arranged with the mounting portion, and its diameter is larger than that of the mounting portion, so that the edge of the ceramic plate 2 extends out of the mounting portion and is located above the annular groove 11. A diode module 3 is mounted on the upper surface of the ceramic plate 2. An insulating adhesive 4 is filled in the annular groove 11. The edge of the ceramic plate 2 contacts the upper surface of the insulating adhesive 4, so that the creepage distance of the diode module 3 is the sum of the creepage distance on the ceramic plate 2 and the creepage distance on the insulating adhesive 4, thereby increasing the creepage distance.

[0020] The annular groove 11 has a vertical surface near the mounting part and an arc-shaped surface away from the mounting part. A slot 111 is formed on the surface of the annular groove 11 near the mounting part. When the release adhesive 4 is filled into the annular groove 11, the slot 111 is also filled with release adhesive 4, thereby enhancing the strength of the release adhesive 4 and making it more stable within the annular groove 11 and less likely to fall off.

[0021] A high-fiber insulating coating 5 is sprayed between the ceramic sheet 2 and the mounting part; the surface of the annular groove 11 near the mounting part and the inner surface of the slot 111 are also sprayed with a high-fiber insulating coating 5. The high-fiber insulating coating 5 can further improve the insulation between the ceramic and the insulating adhesive 4, that is, to prevent the current from creeping short distance due to poor contact between the ceramic sheet 2 and the insulating adhesive 4.

[0022] The diode module 3 includes an anode electrode 31, which is mounted on the upper surface of the ceramic plate 2. A chip 32 is mounted on the upper surface of the anode electrode 31, and a cathode electrode 33 is mounted on the upper surface of the chip 32. The cross-section of the cathode electrode 33 is set to an inverted T-shape.

[0023] A disc spring 34 is coaxially sleeved on the cathode electrode 33 post, and a pressure plate 35 is pressed onto the disc spring 34. The pressure plate 35 is also sleeved on the cathode electrode 33 post, and four bolts are threaded through the pressure plate 35. The bolts are threaded to the mounting base plate 1 to achieve the pressing of the pressure plate 35. The pressure plate 35 can press the cathode electrode 33, chip 32, anode electrode 31 and ceramic sheet 2 through the disc spring 34.

[0024] The anode electrode 31 is configured as a right angle, with one panel parallel to the mounting base plate 1 and the other panel perpendicular to the mounting base plate 1 and positioned above the mounting base plate 1 to facilitate connection with other electrical components.

[0025] In summary, by providing an insulating adhesive 4 within the annular groove 11, this invention allows the edge of the ceramic sheet 2 to contact the insulating adhesive 4, thereby increasing the creepage distance between the diode module 3 and the base plate and improving the insulation capability between the diode module 3 and the base plate. The high-fiber insulating plating layer 5 placed between the ceramic sheet 2 and the annular groove 11 prevents short-distance creepage due to inadequate contact between the ceramic sheet 2 and the insulating adhesive 4, further ensuring the insulation capability of the diode module 3.
