Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power semiconductor module manufacturing technology, and specifically discloses a fixture for preventing cold solder joints. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of power semiconductor module manufacturing, the welding quality of DBC (Direct Copper Bonding) substrates and terminals directly affects the electrical performance and reliability of the module. During the welding process, the solder melts at high temperature to form a liquid state, relying on surface tension to wet the connection surface. Due to the light weight of the terminals and the effect of the liquid surface tension of the solder, the terminals tend to float on the surface of the molten solder layer and have difficulty overcoming the surface tension to sink to the preset position, resulting in insufficient contact area at the welding interface or local non-bonding.

[0003] Traditional processes rely on manual adjustment or simple positioning fixtures, which makes it difficult to accurately control the bonding state between the terminals and the DBC substrate, easily leading to poor soldering defects, reducing product yield and long-term service stability. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 A fixture for preventing incomplete soldering, comprising:

[0026] The base plate 1 has a positioning groove 2 on its upper surface;

[0027] The welding positioning plate 3 is set directly above the base plate 1. The upper end surface of the welding positioning plate 3 has multiple strip-shaped and rectangularly arrayed limiting slots 4.

[0028] The cover plate 5 has multiple sets of evenly distributed mounting holes 6 on its upper surface. The mounting holes 6 are equidistant from each other in the left and right directions. Each mounting hole 6 has a push rod 7 inside it. The outer wall of the push rod 7 is fixedly connected to a limit ring 8. A spring 9 located at the upper end of the limit ring 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the push rod 7.

[0029] In this embodiment: the DBC substrate is initially fixed in the positioning groove 2 of the base plate 1. The welding positioning plate 3 is vertically installed above the base plate 1 through the fixing post 14, and its limiting groove 4 is aligned with the welding position of the substrate. After the terminal is inserted into the limiting groove 4, the cover plate 5 is added. The push rod 7 passes through the mounting hole 6 and abuts against the top of the terminal. The spring 9 is pressed and pushes the limiting ring 8 to make the push rod continuously press down on the terminal, eliminating the suspension caused by the solder tension. The pressure plate 10 covers multiple sets of push rods to achieve uniform pressure. The connecting post 12 and the locking nut 13 lock the cover plate. The paddle 16 fixes the DBC substrate. The groove 17 facilitates the removal and placement of the substrate. The hollow structure 18 reduces weight and improves heat dissipation efficiency, ultimately ensuring that the terminal and the DBC substrate fit together with zero gap.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a pressure plate 10 is provided at the upper end of each set of mounting holes 6. The outer wall of the pressure plate 10 is provided with multiple through holes, and the number, size and layout of the through holes are the same as those of the mounting holes 6.

[0031] In this embodiment: the through hole of the pressure plate 10 is aligned with the mounting hole 6, covering all the push rods 7 in the same group, so as to realize that a single pressure plate can simultaneously press down multiple push rods 7, eliminating pressure deviation of multiple terminals.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two connecting holes 11 are opened on both the left and right sides of the base plate 1, and connecting posts 12 are threadedly connected inside the multiple connecting holes 11. The cover plate 5 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the multiple connecting posts 12, and locking nuts 13 are threadedly connected to the top of the multiple connecting posts 12.

[0033] In this embodiment: the connecting column 12 passes through the base plate 1 and the cover plate 5, and the locking nut 13 is tightened to fix the overall structure, providing detachable rigid support.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a fixing post 14 is provided through the four corners of the upper end face of the welding positioning plate 3, and a fixing hole 15 is provided at the four corners of the upper end face of the base plate 1. The four fixing posts 14 are respectively inserted into the four fixing holes 15.

[0035] In this embodiment: the fixing post 14 is inserted into the fixing hole 15 of the base plate 1 to ensure the vertical alignment accuracy between the welding positioning plate 3 and the base plate 1.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, multiple paddles 16 are rotatably connected to both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the base plate 1, and the multiple paddles 16 extend to the upper inner side of the positioning groove 2.

[0037] In this embodiment: the paddle 16 rotates to the position groove 2 to limit the edge of the DBC substrate and prevent it from shifting due to welding heat deformation.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two grooves 17 communicating with the inner side of the positioning groove 2 are opened on both the front and rear sides of the upper end of the base plate 1.

[0039] In this embodiment: the groove 17 connects to the side wall of the positioning groove 2, which facilitates the insertion of tools to pry the substrate and solves the problem of high-temperature adhesion and material removal.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer walls of both the welding positioning plate 3 and the cover plate 5 are provided with hollow structures 18 arranged in an array with rectangular units.

[0041] In this embodiment, the hollow structure 18 is distributed in a rectangular array on the welding positioning plate 3 and the cover plate 5, which reduces the overall weight of the fixture and accelerates heat dissipation.

[0042] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During operation, the DBC substrate is first inserted into the positioning groove 2 of the base plate 1, and the paddle 16 is rotated to press the edge of the substrate; the fixing post 14 is inserted into the fixing hole 15 of the base plate 1 to fix and weld the positioning plate 3; the terminal is vertically inserted into the limiting groove 4 to align the substrate solder joint; after the cover plate 5 is covered, the top rod 7 is inserted into the mounting hole 6 so that its bottom end contacts the top of the terminal; the pressure plate 10 is placed on the upper end of the top rod 7 in the same group, and the cover plate 5 is pressed down to compress the spring 9 and store force. The locking nut 13 at the top of the connecting post 12 is tightened to lock the cover plate, and the spring 9 releases its elastic force to push the limiting ring 8, so that the top rod 7 continues to press the terminal downward until the solder solidifies.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "left", "right", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "front", "back", "inner", "outer", "back", "middle", 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.

[0044] However, the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
