Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AMB welding technology, and in particular to a vacuum welding fixture for AMB ceramic substrates. Background Technology

[0002] The vacuum welding process for the base plate involves soldering the AMB ceramic substrate onto the heat sink base plate using solder pads. Due to the large welding area and the large size of the heat sink base plate, the heat sink base plate is prone to bending and deformation during the welding process. Therefore, the heat sink base plate needs to be pre-bent before welding, and it will be flat after welding.

[0003] Placing the AMB modules on the surface of the heat sink base plate is an essential step, and specific tooling is needed for positioning to ensure that the AMB modules are accurately placed in the intended positions. However, because the surface curvature of the heat sink base plate changes before and after welding, the existing positioning tooling cannot adjust accordingly to the change in the curvature of the base plate. This leads to deviations in the positioning of the AMB modules or inaccurate positions of the solder pads during actual operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a vacuum welding fixture for AMB ceramic substrates.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides a vacuum welding fixture for an AMB ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate is welded to the top of a heat dissipation base plate, and the fixture includes:

[0007] A positioning frame is placed on top of the heat dissipation base plate, and the positioning frame has several positioning holes, in which the ceramic substrate is placed;

[0008] The support frame is located above the positioning frame;

[0009] A positioning element is connected to the support frame, and the positioning element is used to keep the bottom of the positioning frame in contact with the top of the heat dissipation base plate.

[0010] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:

[0011] Precise positioning is achieved using a specially designed positioning frame equipped with spring pins (PINs). These spring pins effectively hold the positioning frame in place, ensuring consistent contact between the positioning frame and the heatsink base plate throughout the entire soldering process. This design and operation method not only guarantees the accuracy of the AMB and heatsink base positions before soldering but also maintains this precise positioning after soldering, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire soldering process and the quality of the final product.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A vacuum welding fixture for AMB ceramic substrates is disclosed. The ceramic substrate 11 is welded to the top of a heat sink base plate 10. Before being welded to the heat sink base plate 10, the ceramic substrate 11 has an irregular hemispherical structure, and after welding, it becomes flat.

[0026] Tooling 20 includes:

[0027] Positioning frame 21 is placed on top of heat dissipation base plate 10. Positioning frame 21 has several positioning holes 211. Ceramic substrate 11 is placed in the positioning holes 211. Preferably, positioning frame 21 is made of metal sheet. Positioning holes 211 are opened on metal sheet. The height of the upper surface of metal sheet is lower than the height of the upper surface of ceramic substrate 11.

[0028] Positioning elements are used to keep the bottom of the positioning frame 21 in contact with the top of the heat dissipation base plate 10. The positioning elements are distributed around and between the ceramic substrate 11.

[0029] Support frame 22 is located above positioning frame 21, and positioning element is connected to support frame 22;

[0030] Based on the above structure, this application has two embodiments for the selection of positioning elements;

[0031] In the first embodiment, the positioning component is a spring PI N231, which includes a base end 2311 and a telescopic end 2312. A spring is installed in the base end 2311 so that the telescopic end 2312 is elastically telescopically connected to the base end 2311. The end of the telescopic end 2312 abuts against the top of the positioning frame 21. The base end 2311 of the spring PI N231 is fixed to the support frame 22.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, before the heat dissipation base plate 10 is welded, the heat dissipation base plate 10 is arc-shaped. The end of the extension end 2312 of the spring PI N231 abuts against the part of the positioning frame 21 located around the ceramic substrate 11, so that the positioning frame 21 can be tightly attached to the heat dissipation base. During the welding process, the heat dissipation base plate 10 changes from arc shape to straight shape, and the extension end 2312 of the spring PI N231 will also move upward adaptively, so that the positioning frame 21 maintains its position, thereby keeping the position of the ceramic substrate 11 from shifting during the deformation of the heat dissipation base plate 10.

[0033] Based on the first embodiment, the end of the telescopic end 2312 away from the base end 2311 is provided with a hemispherical structure. The hemispherical structure can ensure that the telescopic end 2312 contacts the positioning frame 21 to the maximum extent during the welding process.

[0034] In the second embodiment, the positioning element includes:

[0035] The self-weight column 232 is movably connected to the support frame 22. The self-weight column 232 can move up and down along its height direction. The lower end 2322 of the self-weight column 232 abuts against the top of the positioning frame 21, and the upper end 2321 passes through the support frame 22. Due to its own weight, the self-weight column 232 will press down on the positioning frame 21. During the welding process, the heat dissipation base plate 10 changes from an arc shape to a straight shape. The lower end 2322 of the self-weight column 232 presses against the positioning frame 21, so that the positioning frame 21 maintains its position, thereby ensuring that the position of the ceramic substrate 11 does not shift during the deformation of the heat dissipation base plate 10.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the positioning component further includes a counterweight 2323, which is detachably installed on the upper end 2321 of the self-weight column 232. The operator can select the counterweight 2323 according to the degree of curvature of the heat sink. The preferred counterweight 2323 is connected to the upper end 2321 of the self-weight column 232 by threads, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0037] Based on the above structure, the lower end 2322 of the self-weight column 232 is set in a hemispherical structure. The hemispherical structure can ensure that the telescopic end 2312 contacts the positioning frame 21 to the maximum extent during the welding process.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present invention.
