Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of IGBT module heat dissipation substrate technology, and in particular to an automatic cleaning mechanism for IGBT module heat dissipation substrate. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of power electronics technology, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) modules have been widely used in new energy power generation, electric vehicles, and industrial frequency conversion due to their excellent performance. IGBT modules generate a large amount of heat during operation, and their heat dissipation performance directly affects the reliability, lifespan, and even the stability of the entire system. As a key component for heat transfer in IGBT modules, the cleanliness of the heat sink surface is crucial. The accumulation of dust, oil, or other particulate matter on the heat sink surface forms a thermal resistance layer, severely hindering effective heat dissipation. This leads to increased junction temperature of the IGBT module, resulting in performance degradation, reduced efficiency, and even thermal failure.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning of IGBT module heat sinks, especially during equipment maintenance or production, mainly relies on manual operation. Manual cleaning has many drawbacks. First, it is inefficient and time-consuming, especially when frequent cleaning or batch processing is required. Second, it is difficult to guarantee the uniformity and thoroughness of the cleaning effect. Manual operation is prone to missing corners or applying uneven force, resulting in incomplete cleaning or possible scratches on the surface. Furthermore, the dust generated during the cleaning process lacks effective control, which may cause secondary pollution and affect the surrounding equipment environment. Moreover, the dust cannot be collected and removed in time. These shortcomings not only increase maintenance costs but also prolong equipment downtime.

[0004] To address this, an automatic cleaning mechanism for the heat dissipation substrate of IGBT modules is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an automatic cleaning mechanism for the heat dissipation substrate of an IGBT module, including a body 1, a mounting frame 2 and a cleaning component 3. The mounting frame 2 is disposed in the middle of the upper surface of the body 1, and the cleaning component 3 is disposed on the mounting frame 2. The cleaning component 3 includes a sliding groove 31, which is opened in the middle of the inner top surface of the mounting frame 2. A first servo motor 32 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the outer wall of one side of the mounting frame 2. A threaded rod 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 32. A threaded sleeve 34 is sleeved on the outer side of one side of the threaded rod 33, and a connecting plate 35 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the threaded sleeve 34.

[0025] The front and rear ends of the lower surface of the connecting plate 35 are fixedly connected to the first electric telescopic rod 36. The output end of the first electric telescopic rod 36 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 37. The middle of one side of the lower surface of the first mounting plate 37 is rotatably connected to the first gear 39. The front and rear ends of the first gear 39 are provided with the second gear 310. The upper ends of the second gear 310 are rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 37. The middle of one side of the upper surface of the first mounting plate 37 is fixedly connected to the second servo motor 38. The output end of the second servo motor 38 is rotatably connected to the second gear 310.

[0026] A rotating rod 311 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower surface of both the first gear 39 and the second gear 310. A second mounting plate 312 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of both rotating rods 311. A brush 313 is provided on the lower surface of both second mounting plates 312. A dust collection shell 314 is fixedly connected to the side of the lower surface of the first mounting plate 37 away from the first gear 39. Multiple dust collection pipes 315 are provided on the lower surface of the dust collection shell 314. A dust pump 316 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the mounting frame 2. A dust collection box 317 is provided in the middle. A cover plate 318 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the dust collection box 317 by bolts. The suction end of the dust pump 316 passes through the inner wall of the dust collection housing 314 through a hose. The discharge end of the dust pump 316 passes through the inner wall of the dust collection box 317 through a hose. A dustproof net 319 is provided in the middle of the side of the dust collection box 317 away from the dust pump 316. Limiting grooves 320 are provided at the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the mounting bracket 2. The upper ends of both sides of the connecting plate 35 are inside the limiting grooves 320.

[0027] Furthermore, the second servo motor 38 drives the first gear 39 to rotate smoothly, and through the meshing of the gears, the power is transmitted to the second gear 310, causing it to rotate as well. Thus, driven by the rotating rod 311, the brush 313 can thoroughly and evenly clean the upper surface of the IGBT module heat sink, ensuring that no corner is missed. After the cleaning is completed, the high-efficiency dust pump 316 and the dust suction pipe 315 smoothly suck the residual dust generated during the cleaning process into the dust collection box 317 through the carefully designed dust suction shell 314. This series of continuous operations not only greatly improves the cleaning efficiency, but also further reduces the dust remaining on the upper surface of the IGBT module heat sink, thereby effectively ensuring the heat dissipation performance and long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0030] The lower ends of both sides of the inner wall of the mounting frame 2 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the second electric telescopic rod 4. The output end of the second electric telescopic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 5. The outer wall of the clamping plate 5 near the center of the mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the rubber pad 6. The inside of the machine body 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating roller 7. The outside of the rotating roller 7 is fitted with the conveyor belt 8. The front end of the outer wall of one side of the machine body 1 is fixedly connected to the third servo motor 9. The output end of the third servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the front rotating roller 7. The rear end of the outer wall of one side of the machine body 1 is fixedly connected to the control panel 10. The first servo motor 32, the first electric telescopic rod 36, the second servo motor 38, the second electric telescopic rod 4 and the third servo motor 9 are all electrically connected to the control panel 10. The lower surfaces of the machine body 1 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support leg 11.

[0031] Furthermore, the limiting groove 320 can improve the stability of the movement of the connecting plate 35, and the second electric telescopic rod 4 can drive the clamping plate 5 to clamp the heat sink substrate of the IGBT module, thereby preventing movement during cleaning, ensuring cleaning efficiency and quality, and making it highly practical.

[0032] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0033] The specific operating principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] By placing the IGBT module heat sink on the conveyor belt 8, the third servo motor 9 drives the rotating roller 7 to rotate, thereby moving the IGBT module heat sink on the conveyor belt 8 forward. When the IGBT module heat sink reaches below the mounting frame 2;

[0035] At the same time, the second electric telescopic rod 4 drives the clamping plate 5 to clamp the heat dissipation substrate of the IGBT module, thereby preventing movement during cleaning and ensuring its cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0036] The first electric telescopic rod 36 drives the first mounting plate 37 to extend and retract, so that the brush 313 is in close contact with the upper surface of the IGBT module heat sink substrate; then the second servo motor 38 drives the first gear 39 to rotate smoothly, and then through the meshing between the gears, the power is transmitted to the second gear 310, so that it also rotates, and thus the brush 313 rotates under the drive of the rotating rod 311.

[0037] Then, the first servo motor 32 drives the threaded rod 33 to rotate, and the threaded sleeve 34 drives the lower surface connecting plate 35 to move. While the connecting plate 35 moves, the set limit groove 320 can improve the stability of its movement. Then, the brush 313 drives the brush to thoroughly and evenly clean the upper surface of the IGBT module heat sink substrate, ensuring that no corner is missed. After the cleaning work is completed, the high-efficiency dust pump 316 uses the dust suction pipe 315 to smoothly suck the residual dust generated during the cleaning process into the dust collection box 317 through the carefully designed dust suction shell 314. This series of continuous operations not only greatly improves the cleaning efficiency, but also further reduces the dust remaining on the upper surface of the IGBT module heat sink substrate, thereby effectively ensuring the heat dissipation performance and long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0038] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
