Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power module manufacturing technology, specifically a welding anti-deformation device for power modules. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the soldering of power modules involves self-overlapping the heat sink substrate, solder, and molding compound. During the reflow soldering cooling process, the significant difference in the linear thermal expansion coefficients between the heat sink substrate and the molding compound makes the product prone to bending. This also results in uneven solder layer thickness—thicker in the center and thinner at the edges. This leads to uneven heat conduction during product cooling, reduced reliability, and the risk of voids forming in the middle, as well as warping and deformation of the appearance. Figure 1 As shown. Specifically, if the weld layer thickness is uneven, during the use of the power module, thermal stress will be generated inside the module due to long-term high-power operation. Under special operating conditions, it will also be subjected to significant temperature changes, causing creep in the weak areas of the weld layer, leading to delamination. This results in a decrease in heat dissipation capacity, creating a vicious cycle and accelerating module failure. If the surface warpage is not within the control range, coolant is prone to leakage after installation, leading to the risk of damage to the entire vehicle. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 2-5As shown, this utility model discloses a welding anti-deformation device for power modules, comprising a body 1. The body 1 includes a guide block 11, on which a clamping mechanism 2, a pressing mechanism 3, and a cover plate 4 are disposed. The clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp a plastic sealant, and the pressing mechanism 3 is used to apply pressure to the plastic sealant after it is clamped. The clamping mechanism 2 includes two handles, each connected to a gripper. The clamping mechanism 2 also includes a guide shaft 12 disposed on the body 1. The handles are a left handle 221 and a right handle 222 disposed on the guide shaft 12, and the left handle 221 and the right handle 222 are respectively connected to the gripper. A first spring 13 is disposed between the left handle 221 and the right handle 222, and the first spring 13 is disposed on the guide shaft 12. The gripper includes a left gripper 232 and a right gripper 231. The left handle 221 is connected to a left handle slider 223, and the left handle slider 223 is connected to the right gripper 231. The right handle 222 is connected to a right handle slider 224, and the right handle slider 224 is connected to the left gripper 232. The left gripper 232 and the right gripper 231 are frame-shaped, which provides better clamping and gripping of the plastic seal. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a floating block 31. Multiple shafts 32 are arranged below the body 1. Each shaft 32 is equipped with a second spring 33. The end of each shaft 32 passes through the floating block 31 and is equipped with a retaining spring at the end.

[0022] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0023] The pressure application process: Squeeze the left handle 221 and right handle 222 to separate the left gripper 232 and right gripper 231, then insert the molding compound 5. Release the left handle 221 and right handle 222, and the first spring 13 pushes the left handle 221 and right handle 222, causing the left gripper 232 and right gripper 231 to move towards each other and clamp the molding compound. At this time, the second spring 33 of the clamping mechanism 3 applies pressure to the floating block, and the floating block applies pressure to the molding compound. The clamped molding compound is then placed above the heat sink substrate 6 of the power module for soldering.

[0024] Release process: Press down on the main body 1 to further compress the second spring 33 of the clamping mechanism 3.
