Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of relay technology, and more specifically, to a photoelectric relay. Background Technology

[0002] Relays are commonly used in circuit control for fault protection and circuit isolation. Their performance directly impacts the safety and stability of the applied equipment. In fields such as electric vehicles and lithium battery protection control boards, bidirectional inverters, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), industrial testing equipment, and power equipment (industrial UPS), high-current mechanical relays are typically chosen for their application circuits. However, mechanical relays achieve circuit switching through mechanical contacts. Over time, these contacts are prone to wear, leading to increased contact resistance and decreased contact reliability. In severe cases, this can cause problems such as arcing and contact adhesion. Furthermore, mechanical relays are susceptible to electromagnetic interference during use, and their large size, noise, and short lifespan limit their application scenarios.

[0003] Optoelectronic relays achieve complete isolation between input and output circuits through optocoupler. This electrical isolation characteristic allows the optoelectronic relay to operate stably even in complex electromagnetic environments. Furthermore, the absence of mechanical contacts in optoelectronic relays avoids problems such as contact wear and arcing.

Therefore, as... Figure 1The package structure shown is well-suited for low-power or low-current applications, but not for high-power, high-current applications. To enable the application of this advantageous photoelectric relay in high-power, high-current fields, a specifically designed photoelectric relay is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0049] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0050] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", 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.

[0051] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown in one embodiment of the present invention, a photoelectric relay includes: an IR-side structure, a PVG-side structure, a MOS-side structure, and a packaging structure; the packaging structure is used for packaging the IR-side structure, the PVG-side structure, and the MOS-side structure; the IR-side structure includes an IR lead frame 1 and an IR chip 6 fixed thereon; the PVG-side structure includes a PVG lead frame 2 and a PVG chip 5 fixed thereon; the MOS-side structure includes a MOS lead frame 3 and a MOS chip 7 fixed thereon; the IR chip 6 is used to emit an optical signal, the PVG chip 5 is used to receive the optical signal and generate a control signal, the control signal being used to drive the MOS chip 7 to switch on and off; it also includes a buffer lead frame 4, the PVG chip 5 and the MOS chip 7 being wire-bonded to the buffer lead frame 4 via a first bonding wire 10 and a second bonding wire 11, respectively.

[0053] In this example, the first bonding wire 10 is preferably a gold wire; the second bonding wire 11 can be an aluminum wire or a copper wire, preferably a copper wire, for bonding the MOS chip 7. Using copper wire to electrically connect the MOS chip improves the current load capacity of the bonding wire and reduces the cost.

[0054] In this example, the IR lead frame 1 has a first positioning hole (not shown), and the PVG lead frame 2 has a second positioning hole (not shown). The first positioning hole includes four positioning holes located at the four corners of the IR lead frame 1, and the second positioning hole includes four positioning holes located at the four corners of the PVG lead frame 2. The IR lead frame 1 and the PVG lead frame 2 are positioned face-to-face through the first and second positioning holes, that is, through the cooperation of two sets of eight positioning holes, the center point of the IR lead frame 1 and the center point of the PVG lead frame 2 are aligned. The IR lead frame 1 and the PVG lead frame 2 are adjusted according to the height of the IR chip 6 and the PVG chip 5. The distance between the IR lead frame 1 and the PVG lead frame 2 is controlled by the size of the conical positioning pins (not shown) and the positioning holes at the four corners, ensuring that the distance between the IR lead frame 1 and the PVG lead frame 2 is greater than the sum of the heights of the IR chip 6 and the PVG chip 5. Based on the dimensions and center points of the IR chip 6 and the PVG chip 5, their coordinate positions on the IR lead frame 1 and the PVG lead frame 2 are determined, ensuring that the IR chip 6 and the PVG chip 5 are relatively aligned and centered, allowing the PVG chip to receive the optical signal emitted by the IR chip over a larger area, reducing the probability of erroneous communication. Typically, if the center error between the IR chip 6 and the PVG chip 5 is 25µm, the communication success rate between the IR chip 6 and the PVG chip 5 is approximately 95%; if the center error between the IR chip 6 and the PVG chip 5 is 50µm, the communication success rate is only approximately 85%.

[0055] like Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the PVG lead frame 2 includes a PVG base island 21 and PVG base island support ribs 22. The PVG base island 21 is used to support the PVG chip 5. The PVG chip 5 is fixed on the PVG base island 21 using non-conductive adhesive (not shown). The PVG base island support ribs 22 are used to support the PVG lead frame 2. The MOS lead frame 3 includes a MOS base island 31 and MOS pins 32. The MOS base island 31 includes a first MOS base island 31a and a second MOS base island 31b. The MOS pins 32 include a first MOS chip drain pin 32a and a second MOS chip drain pin 32b. OS chip D pin 32b; the MOS chip 7 includes a first MOS chip 7a and a second MOS chip 7b; the lower surface of the first MOS chip 7a is the drain of the first MOS chip 7a, and the lower surface of the second MOS chip 7b is the drain of the second MOS chip 7b; the first MOS chip 7a and the second MOS chip 7b are fixed and electrically connected to the first MOS base island 31a and the second MOS base island 31b respectively with conductive adhesive (not shown), and are electrically connected to the outside through the first MOS chip D pin 32a and the second MOS chip D pin 32b respectively.

[0056] In this example, Figure 5 The first MOS chip drain pin 32a and the second MOS chip drain pin 32b shown both have two pins. There is no specific limit to the number of pins 32a and 32b. The number of pins can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, each pin 32a and pin 32b can be set to one.

[0057] In this example, there are no particular limitations on the types of non-conductive and conductive adhesives. For instance, non-conductive adhesives can be epoxy resin, silicone, polyimide, or other insulating fixatives; conductive adhesives can be copper-filled epoxy resin, silver-filled epoxy resin, or other non-insulating fixatives.

[0058] like Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the buffer end lead frame 4 includes a buffer end lead frame S pole 41, a buffer end lead frame G pole 42, and a buffer end lead frame residual support rib 43. The buffer end lead frame G pole 42 includes a lower buffer end lead frame G pole 42a and an upper buffer end lead frame G pole 42b. The structure of the buffer end lead frame 4 can be divided into a PVG functional area 44 and a MOS functional area 45. The PVG functional area 44 and the MOS functional area 45 are located at the left and right ends of the buffer end lead frame 4, respectively. The PVG functional area 44 includes... The left end of the buffer lead frame S pole 41, the left end of the lower buffer lead frame G pole 42a, and the left end of the upper buffer lead frame G pole 42b are included. The MOS functional region 45 specifically includes the right end of the buffer lead frame S pole 41, the right end of the lower buffer lead frame G pole 42a, and the right end of the upper buffer lead frame G pole 42b. The PVG chip 5 and the PVG functional region 44 can be wire bonded by the first bonding line 10 or the second bonding line 11. The MOS chip 7 and the MOS functional region 45 are wire bonded by the second bonding line 11.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the PVG chip 5 and the PVG functional area 44 are wire-bonded via the first bonding line 10. The first bonding line 10 includes a lower first bonding line 10a, an upper first bonding line 10b, and a middle first bonding line 10c. The second bonding line 11 includes a lower second bonding line 11a, an upper second bonding line 11b, and a middle second bonding line 11c. The lower first bonding line 10a is used to wire-bond the gate output of the PVG chip to the left end of the lower buffer leadframe G pole 42a, and the upper first bonding line 10b is used to wire-bond the other gate output of the PVG chip to the upper buffer leadframe G pole 42a. The left end of 2b is wire bonded, and the source output of the PVG chip is wire bonded to the left end of the S pole 41 of the buffer lead frame using the middle first bonding line 10c; the gate of the first MOS chip 7a is wire bonded to the right end of the gate of the lower buffer lead frame 42a using the lower second bonding line 11a; the gate of the second MOS chip 7b is wire bonded to the right end of the gate of the upper buffer lead frame 42b using the upper second bonding line 11b; and the source poles of the first MOS chip 7a and the second MOS chip 7b are wire bonded to the right end of the S pole 41 of the buffer lead frame using the middle second bonding line 10c.

[0060] Using the buffer leadframe 4 provided in this example, the PVG chip 5 and the MOS chip 7 are wire-bonded to the buffer leadframe 4 via the first bonding wire 10 and the second bonding wire 11, respectively. This effectively reduces the heat generated by the MOS chip 7 during operation from being conducted to the PVG chip 5 through the bonding wires, preventing the PVG chip 5 from losing its functionality due to overheating, thus enhancing its stability and reliability. Simultaneously, the buffer leadframe 4 increases the heat dissipation area, improving the heat dissipation effect and enhancing the current load capacity of the photoelectric relay, making it applicable to high-power, high-current scenarios.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown in one embodiment of this utility model, the IR chip 6 and the IR lead frame 1 are wire bonded together by gold wire 12. The welding position of the gold wire 12 in the figure is only for illustrative purposes, and the welding position of the gold wire 12 is not specifically limited, as long as the power supply of the IR chip 6 is guaranteed. According to actual needs, the gold wire 12 can be wire bonded to other pins of the IR lead frame 1. In this example, the IR lead frame 1 has 5 pins. The number of pins of the IR lead frame 1 is not specifically limited, and the number of pins can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0062] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the packaging structure includes a first molding die 8 and a second molding die 9; the first molding die 8 molds the IR chip 6, the PVG chip 5 and the PVG functional area 44, and forms a first molding structure after baking and curing; the second molding die 9 molds the MOS chip 7, the MOS functional area 45 and the first molding structure, and forms the entire packaging structure after baking and curing.

[0063] In this example, the first molding die 8 can be white glue or transparent glue, preferably white glue, and is made of white epoxy resin composite material; the second molding die 9 is black glue, and is made of black epoxy resin composite material; wherein, the light transmittance of the first molding die 8 is greater than 90%, ensuring that the light signal emitted by the IR chip can be received by the PVG chip without obstruction; the light absorption rate or light blocking rate of the second molding die 9 is greater than 90%, so as to protect the chip and circuit of the entire product and facilitate subsequent laser printing.

[0064] In this example, the IR leadframe 1, the PVG leadframe 2, the MOS leadframe 3, and the buffer leadframe 4 are all thickened, preferably within a thickness range of greater than 0.127 mm and less than 0.5 mm. Thickening the leadframes improves their current load capacity, making them suitable for high-current applications. It is important to emphasize that there is no specific upper limit to the thickness of the leadframes; the chosen upper limit of 0.5 mm is a preferred range to ensure the miniaturization and low-cost requirements of the photoelectric relay. Depending on the specific application, the leadframe thickness can also be greater than 0.5 mm. The material of the leadframes is not limited, as long as its conductivity meets the requirements. Highly conductive metals are generally preferred; in this example, a C192 copper alloy is preferred.

[0065] In this example, the rated current range of the photoelectric relay is 6A to 400A, and the rated voltage range is 20V to 6500V. Compared with the prior art, the current load capacity of the photoelectric relay provided by this invention is significantly improved, that is, it can withstand a current of more than 6A, which is one of the main contributions of the photoelectric relay of this invention.

[0066] The photoelectric relay provided in this example, by adding a buffer lead frame 4 between the PVG chip 5 and the MOS chip 7 instead of directly connecting the PVG chip 5 and the MOS chip 7 via bonding wires, effectively reduces the heat generated by the MOS chip 4 during operation from being conducted to the PVG chip 7 through the bonding wires, thus preventing the PVG chip 7 from losing its functionality due to excessive temperature. At the same time, the IR lead frame 1, the PVG lead frame 2, the MOS lead frame 3, and the buffer lead frame 4 are all thickened, improving the current load capacity of the photoelectric relay. Through the above design, the photoelectric relay can be applied to high-power, high-current scenarios.

[0067] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
