Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component technology, specifically to an IGBT module that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] IGBT modules are modular semiconductor products packaged by bridging IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) chips and FWD (Freewheeling Diode) chips through a specific circuit. They feature energy saving, convenient installation and maintenance, and stable heat dissipation. As a mainstream device among new power semiconductor devices, IGBT modules have been widely used in traditional industries such as industry, 4C (communication, computer, consumer electronics, automotive electronics), aerospace, and defense, as well as strategic emerging industries such as rail transportation, new energy, smart grids, and new energy vehicles. Packaged IGBT modules can be directly applied to equipment such as frequency converters and UPS uninterruptible power supplies.

[0003] In some existing IGBT modules, the housing is directly fixed to the base plate during use, making it inconvenient to remove the housing from the insulating base plate. The electronic components inside the module cannot be fully exposed, which makes it difficult to inspect and repair the IGBT module.

[0004] For example, the IGBT module structure disclosed in patent CN208315532U features an insulating substrate cover fixedly connected to the top of an insulating base plate. Four fixing grooves are located on one side of the insulating substrate cover, directly above the insulating base plate. Each of the four fixing grooves has a fixing screw hole at its bottom. Three resin covers are fixedly connected to the top of the insulating substrate cover, and each of the three resin covers has a main terminal fixedly connected to its top. Two resin housing enclosures are slidably connected to the right side of the insulating substrate cover, and each of the two resin housing enclosures has an auxiliary terminal fixedly connected to its top. This design makes the IGBT module structure more convenient to use, improves worker efficiency, and enhances the applicability of the device.

[0005] Although the resin housing enclosure on the right side of the insulating substrate cover can be slid out, the insulating substrate cover is fixedly connected to the top of the insulating base plate. The insulating substrate cover cannot be removed from the insulating base plate, and the electronic components inside the module cannot be fully exposed, making it inconvenient for maintenance operations.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an IGBT module that is easy to install and disassemble to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an IGBT module that is easy to install and disassemble, so as to solve the problems in the above-mentioned technology.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an IGBT module that is easy to assemble and disassemble, comprising a base plate, a housing enclosure, and a housing top cover. The housing enclosure covers the top outer side of the base plate, and the housing top cover is disposed on the top of the housing enclosure. Limiting clamps are installed on both sides of the housing top cover. Each limiting clamp consists of an inner clamping plate and an outer clamping plate, which are hinged together. The inner clamping plate is fixedly connected to the housing top cover. A limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer clamping plate. Limiting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the housing enclosure. The limiting plates match the limiting clamps and are clamped between the inner and outer clamping plates. A limiting groove is formed on the surface of the limiting plate, and the limiting block engages with the limiting groove.

[0009] By engaging the limiting block with the limiting slot, the fixing effect between the limiting fixing clip and the limiting fixing plate can be further improved.

[0010] Preferably, a circuit board is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and an IGBT chip is mounted on the top of the circuit board.

[0011] The circuit board is supported by a base plate, and the outer casing and top cover of the base plate provide protection for the circuit board.

[0012] Preferably, a main terminal is installed on the surface of the top cover of the housing, and an auxiliary terminal is installed on one side of the top of the bottom plate. Both the main terminal and the auxiliary terminal are electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0013] Both the main terminals and auxiliary terminals are connected to the circuit board via leads.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning stake is fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the shell top cover, and a positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the shell enclosure. The positioning plate has a positioning hole on its surface, and the positioning stake is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0015] By using positioning stakes and positioning plates, the top cover of the shell and one end of the shell enclosure can be positioned and matched.

[0016] Preferably, a convex cover is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the housing top cover, and the top of the auxiliary terminal is engaged with the convex cover. The convex cover and the housing top cover are integrally injection molded.

[0017] By using the auxiliary terminals and the convex cover, the top cover of the housing and the other end of the housing enclosure can be positioned and matched.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom four corners of the enclosure are fixedly connected with fixed foot plates, and the fixed foot plates and the limiting fixed plates are integrally injection molded with the enclosure.

[0019] The fixed footplates make it easy to secure the housing enclosure with screws.

[0020] Preferably, the housing enclosure, housing top cover, limiting and fixing clamp, limiting and fixing plate, convex cover and fixing foot plate are all made of insulating resin material.

[0021] Using insulating resin can improve the overall safety of the module.

[0022] Preferably, a rubber layer is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the shell top cover, and the rubber layer abuts against the top edge of the shell enclosure.

[0023] Sealing the gaps between the shell top cover and the shell enclosure with a rubber layer helps to improve the tightness of the connection between the shell top cover and the shell enclosure.

[0024] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0025] By splitting the outer casing of the IGBT module into two parts, the casing enclosure and the casing top cover, and setting limiting and fixing clips on both sides of the casing top cover and limiting and fixing plates on both sides of the casing enclosure, the casing top cover and casing enclosure can be quickly disassembled and assembled through the cooperation of the limiting and fixing clips and limiting and fixing plates, which facilitates the exposure of the electronic components inside the module and makes it easier for maintenance personnel to carry out maintenance.

[0036] Working principle of this utility model:

[0037] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 When inspecting the IGBT module, first press the limiting and fixing clips 4 on both sides of the top cover 3 of the housing by hand, so that the outer clamp 6 and the inner clamp 5 are separated, and the limiting block 7 is disengaged from the limiting slot 9 of the limiting fixing plate 8. Then, lift the top cover 3 of the housing upwards to separate the top cover 3 of the housing from the housing enclosure 2.

[0038] After the IGBT module is repaired, press the limiting and fixing clips 4 on both sides of the housing top cover 3 by hand again to separate the outer clamping plate 6 from the inner clamping plate 5.
