TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to electronic device technical field, concretely is a kind of high-power thyristor module with cooling system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, high-power thyristor is the core device of high-voltage direct current transmission, flexible alternating current transmission and other power electronic devices, and its reliability is directly related to the safe and reliable operation of the entire power system. During the operation of thyristor, a large amount of heat will be generated due to the action of current and voltage, resulting in the increase of junction temperature. The thyristor converter valve is the core equipment for realizing AC-DC power conversion in the high-voltage direct current transmission system, and is also the main loss source in the DC system. Generally, the loss of the thyristor converter valve in full-power operation accounts for about 20% to 40% of the total equipment loss of the converter station. Therefore, accurate calculation of the converter valve loss is not only the premise and basis for evaluating the operation efficiency of the DC system and equipment, but also the main basis for designing the converter valve and its cooling system. Semiconductor theory and experimental research show that the electrical characteristics and service life of thyristor are directly related to the junction temperature and its change.

As the key component for achieving this goal, the water-cooled radiator has become increasingly prominent with the development of power electronic technology and the increasing power density of power semiconductor devices such as thyristor. Traditional cooling methods such as air cooling and natural cooling have been difficult to meet the cooling needs of high-power-density thyristors. Liquid cooling technology has become the key to solving this problem due to its high cooling performance. However, existing liquid cooling devices often have problems such as uneven flow of cooling liquid and low cooling efficiency, which affect the performance and service life of thyristor. SUMMARY

[0059] The high-power thyristor module with a cooling system will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0060] As shown in the drawings, the high-power thyristor module with a cooling system comprises a thyristor and a liquid cooling bottom plate fixed below the thyristor, and the two are jointly packaged in the same packaging shell.
[0061] The liquid cooling bottom plate is provided with a horizontally arranged liquid cooling cavity,
[0062] One side of the liquid cooling cavity is communicated with a cold liquid inlet pipe, and the other side is communicated with a cold liquid outlet pipe.
[0063] The liquid cooling cavity is distributed with non-uniformly distributed turbulence columns;
[0064] Each turbulence column is arranged in a vertical direction,
[0065] In the liquid cooling cavity, the direction from the cold liquid inlet pipe to the cold liquid outlet pipe constitutes a cold liquid flow channel;
[0066] In the horizontal direction of the cold liquid flow channel, the turbulence columns are arranged and distributed in a matrix form;
[0067] In the flow direction of the cold liquid flow channel, the rows and columns of the turbulence column matrix are staggered with each other, and the row and column staggering adopts an arrangement mode of adjacent row staggered staggering, adjacent column staggered staggering, or adjacent row and column mixed staggered staggering.
[0068] In the direction from the upstream to the downstream of the cold liquid flow channel, the diameter of the turbulence column monomer gradually increases in units of rows.
[0069] At the upstream end of the liquid cooling cavity, close to the cold liquid inlet pipe, a shunt is further arranged.
[0070] The shunt is composed of a shunt column located in the middle and deflector plates on both sides thereof;
[0071] The shunt column is arranged downstream of the pipe opening of the cold liquid inlet pipe;
[0072] The guide vanes spread out from both sides of the flow splitter column to the outside in the downstream direction.
[0073] Both the thyristor and the liquid-cooled base plate are integrally formed.
[0074] The packaging shell of the thyristor is filled with a pouring gel;
[0075] The thyristor adopts a flat plate thyristor;
[0076] The thyristor is configured with power terminals that extend upward and penetrate out of the packaging shell;
[0077] The thyristor is configured with two groups of metal clamps, metal gaskets, silicon-controlled rectifier elements, and flat plate electrodes, each group being fixedly configured on the power terminal, and the power terminal on one side is also provided with a control electrode.
[0078] The flow splitter column in the liquid-cooled cavity of the liquid-cooled base plate adopts an integrated overall structure with the liquid-cooled base plate, and the body of both the flow splitter column and the liquid-cooled base plate adopts a heat dissipation substrate. A solder layer is welded between the power terminal and the liquid-cooled base plate. The cold liquid inlet pipe and the cold liquid outlet pipe are connected with a cold liquid circulation system. The structural characteristics of the utility model are as follows:
[0079] Liquid-cooled base plate structure:
[0080] The base plate is integrally formed with high thermal conductivity materials such as copper or aluminum to ensure good heat conduction performance.
[0081] The internally non-uniformly distributed flow splitter columns are made of the same material as the base plate and are formed through precision machining. The height, diameter, and spacing of the flow splitter columns vary according to a specific rule inside the base plate, forming a complex flow path.
[0082] Non-uniform flow splitter column design:
[0083] The flow splitter columns are arranged in a non-uniform manner inside the base plate, forming multiple flow channels in different directions. This design not only enhances the heat exchange between the cooling liquid and the base plate, but also ensures the uniform distribution of the cooling liquid.
[0084] The height, diameter, and spacing of the flow splitter columns are optimized according to the cooling liquid flow characteristics and heat exchange requirements to achieve the best heat dissipation effect.
[0085] Cooling liquid circulation system:
[0086] The cooling liquid enters through the inlet at one end of the base plate, passes through the complex flow path formed by the flow splitter columns, and flows out from the outlet at the other end, forming a closed cooling loop.
[0087] The cooling liquid circulation system includes a pump, a radiator, a pipeline, and other components for maintaining the circulation and temperature control of the cooling liquid.
[0088] Installation and maintenance:
[0089] The thyristors are fixed on the liquid cooling base by heat-conducting glue or bolts to ensure good thermal contact.
[0090] The cooling liquid circulation system is connected with the liquid cooling base through connecting pipes to form a complete heat dissipation system.
[0091] The turbulence columns are vertically arranged in the liquid cooling cavity, and a gap is arranged between the bottom end of each turbulence column and the bottom surface of the liquid cooling cavity. The gap area constitutes a straight-through space for the straight-through flow of the cooling liquid flow channel, and the area disturbed by the turbulence columns constitutes a turbulence space for the cooling liquid flow channel. The cooperation of the turbulence space and the straight-through space can also enhance the turbulence and heat dissipation.
[0092] The arrangement of the cooling liquid circulation system: the cooling medium is powered by the water pump to flow out of the constant temperature water tank, pass through the switch valve, the flow regulating valve, the electronic turbine flowmeter and the pressure sensor in sequence, enter the liquid cooling base from the cooling liquid inlet pipe, and then flow back to the constant temperature water tank through the cooling liquid outlet pipe after being heated by the liquid cooling base and the turbulence columns. The constant temperature water tank reduces the return cooling medium to the initial temperature. A parallel cooling liquid cooling system can also be configured to cool the overheated cooling liquid to ensure the liquid cooling effect.
