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.

[0035] In this specification, identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings of this utility model, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions towards or away from a specific component, respectively. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more.

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Figure 1 This diagram shows a front axle side view of a power module marking fixture provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2This diagram shows a rear axle side view of a power module marking fixture provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The power module marking fixture includes: an X-direction moving mechanism 1, a Y-direction moving mechanism 2 disposed on the X-direction moving mechanism 1, a rotating platform 3 disposed on the Y-direction moving mechanism 2, a positioning component 4 disposed on the rotating platform 3, and a marking fixture 5 disposed on the positioning component 4. The marking fixture 5 can be quickly assembled and disassembled from the positioning component 4. The marking fixture 5 includes a fixture body 51, which has a fixture cavity 52 adapted to the power module. The fixture cavity 52 has a foolproof rod 53 corresponding to the glue-filling hole of the power module. A knob plunger 54 for fixing the power module is also provided on one side of the fixture body 51 located in the fixture cavity 52.

[0038] In this embodiment, the X-direction and Y-direction moving mechanisms, based on a lead screw module and a guide rail module, allow manual adjustment of the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the marking position to ensure marking accuracy. The rotating platform supports angle adjustment to adapt to different marking requirements. The positioning component enables rapid loading and unloading of the marking fixture, improving changeover efficiency. The fixture cavity of the fixture body conforms to the shape of the power module, an anti-fooling rod inserted into the potting hole prevents reverse installation, and a knob plunger secures the module from the side to prevent shaking during marking. Mechanical positioning ensures consistent and reliable marking position.

[0039] In detail, the positioning component 4 includes: a positioning seat 41, which is mounted on the rotating platform 3; a recessed positioning groove 42, which is formed on the positioning seat 41, for quick positioning of the fixture body 51; and a quick-press clamp 43, which is disposed at the edge of the recessed positioning groove 42, for quick assembly and disassembly of the fixture body 51. In one example, there are two quick-press clamps 43, located near both ends of the fixture body 51, to avoid interference with the placement and removal of the power module.

[0040] In this embodiment, the positioning seat serves as the basic carrier, securely mounted on the rotating platform to provide rigid support for the entire component. The recessed positioning groove adopts a concave structure, precisely matching the shape of the fixture body. Physical positioning enables rapid fixture alignment, reducing manual calibration time and ensuring the positional accuracy of the fixture installation. The quick-press clamp at the edge is designed using a lever principle, allowing for rapid clamping or release of the fixture body via a pressing operation. The symmetrical arrangement at both ends ensures uniform distribution of clamping force while avoiding the power module's loading and unloading area, preventing interference with the operating space and significantly improving fixture replacement efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the X-direction moving mechanism 1 includes: a base plate 11, a first lead screw module 12 and a first guide rail module 13 mounted on the base plate 11, and an X-direction moving plate 14 connected to the first lead screw module 12 and the first guide rail module 13. The first lead screw module 12 includes: two first bearing seats 121 mounted on the base plate 11, a first lead screw 122 rotatably connected to the two first bearing seats 121 via bearings, a first nut assembly 123 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 122, a first handwheel 124 mounted on one of the first bearing seats 121, and a first locking pin 125 mounted on the first handwheel 124; wherein, the X-direction moving plate 14 is connected to the first nut assembly 123. The first guide rail module 13 includes: a first guide rail 131 mounted on the base plate 11, and a first slider 132 slidably connected to the first guide rail 131; wherein, the X-direction moving plate 14 is connected to the first slider 132.

[0042] In this embodiment, the base plate serves as the basic frame, providing an installation reference for the first lead screw module and the first guide rail module. The first lead screw module drives the first lead screw to rotate via a first handwheel, converting the rotational motion into linear motion of the first nut pair, thereby driving the X-direction moving plate to precisely displace along the X direction. The first guide rail module, through the cooperation of the first slider and the first guide rail, provides rigid guidance for the X-direction moving plate, reducing swaying and deviation during movement and ensuring the stability of displacement. The first locking pin on the first handwheel can fix the first lead screw after positioning, preventing positional shift due to vibration during marking.

[0043] Furthermore, the Y-direction moving mechanism 2 includes: a second lead screw module 21 and a second guide rail module 22 mounted on the X-direction moving plate 14, and a Y-direction moving plate 23 connected to the second lead screw module 21 and the second guide rail module 22. The second lead screw module 21 includes: two second bearing seats 211 mounted on the X-direction moving plate 14; a second lead screw 212 rotatably connected to the two second bearing seats 211 via bearings; a second nut assembly 213 threadedly connected to the second lead screw 212; a second handwheel 214 mounted on one of the second bearing seats 211; and a second locking pin 215 mounted on the second handwheel 214; wherein the Y-direction moving plate 23 is connected to the second nut assembly 213. The second guide rail module 22 includes: a second guide rail 221 mounted on the X-direction moving plate 14, and a second slider 222 slidably connected to the second guide rail 221; wherein the Y-direction moving plate 23 is connected to the second slider 222.

[0044] In this embodiment, the X-direction moving plate serves as a mounting carrier, providing a stable base for the second lead screw module and the second guide rail module. The second lead screw module drives the second lead screw to rotate via the second handwheel, which in turn drives the second nut pair to convert the rotational motion into linear displacement in the Y direction, achieving precise longitudinal adjustment of the marking position. The second guide rail module, through the high-precision cooperation between the second slider and the second guide rail, reduces lateral offset during movement, ensuring smooth sliding of the Y-direction moving plate and improving the rigidity of the mechanism. The second locking pin on the second handwheel locks the second lead screw after positioning, preventing positional changes due to external interference during marking.

[0045] Specifically, the rotating platform 3 includes: a rotating fixed seat 31 mounted on the Y-direction moving plate 23, a turntable 32 rotatably connected to the rotating fixed seat 31 via bearings, an adjusting seat 33 fixed to one side of the rotating fixed seat 31, an adjusting rod 34 and a locking rod 35 mounted on the adjusting seat 33, and an adjusting protrusion 36 fixed to one side of the turntable 32; wherein, the adjusting protrusion 36 is located in the adjusting groove 37 of the adjusting seat 33, and the positioning component 4 is disposed on the turntable 32.

[0046] In this embodiment, the rotating fixed base serves as a basic component, securely mounted on the Y-direction moving plate to provide rotational support for the turntable. The turntable is connected to the rotating fixed base via bearings, allowing free rotation and driving the positioning components and marking fixture to adjust the marking orientation. An adjusting seat and adjusting protrusion cooperate to form an angle positioning mechanism. When the adjusting rod is rotated, the protrusion moves within the adjusting groove, thereby driving the turntable to rotate. The locking rod can fix the turntable after angle adjustment, preventing angular deviation due to vibration during marking. This rotating platform, in conjunction with the X-direction and Y-direction moving mechanisms, achieves precise combined control of planar position and rotation angle, significantly improving the tooling's adaptability to marking complex-shaped power modules.

[0047] In one example, the model of the rotating platform 3 is MISUMI-RPGT100.

[0048] Next, the working principle of a power module marking fixture involved in the embodiments of this utility model will be explained.

[0049] Manual feeding involves placing the power module into the cavity of the marking fixture and securing it using a rotary plunger.

[0050] The marking fixture is fixed in the recessed positioning groove of the positioning component by a quick-press clamp;

[0051] Open the laser marking file, preview the marking pattern with red light, and adjust the position of the marking fixture by rotating the platform, moving the X-axis mechanism, and moving the Y-axis mechanism to make the marking pattern correspond to the marking position of the power module. After positioning is completed, marking production begins.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that if the operator places the power module backwards, the anti-fooling rod will not align with the potting hole of the power module, causing the power module to be unable to be placed in the cavity of the marking fixture and marking will not be possible. The power module must be adjusted before marking can begin.

[0053] In summary, this technical solution includes an X-direction moving mechanism, a Y-direction moving mechanism mounted on the X-direction moving mechanism, a rotating platform mounted on the Y-direction moving mechanism, a positioning component mounted on the rotating platform, and a marking fixture mounted on the positioning component. The marking fixture can be quickly assembled and disassembled from the positioning component. The marking fixture includes a fixture body with a fixture cavity adapted to the power module. The fixture cavity has a foolproof rod corresponding to the glue-filling hole of the power module. A knob plunger for fixing the power module is also located on one side of the fixture cavity on the fixture body. This design enables rapid power module changeover, improving production efficiency; furthermore, it avoids reversed power module placement, improving yield.

[0054] In the embodiments disclosed in this utility model, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
