It consists of an inverter bridge, control logic, and filter circuits, and is widely used in household appliances such as air conditioners, computers, washing machines, and refrigerators.

[0003] Currently, as inverter power increases, the current drawn by the internal electronic components also rises. Existing technology limits the soldering ability of these components' pins on the PCB, restricting their capacity to handle high currents. Furthermore, increased current generates more heat, demanding improved heat dissipation. Therefore, enhancing the soldering ability of the inverter's component pins and improving heat dissipation performance have become key areas of focus for researchers in the field.

[0038] This embodiment provides an inverter. The inverter includes a housing and a welded structure. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4As shown, the welding structure includes a PCB board 1, electronic components 2, and a heat sink 3. The PCB board 1 has multiple first through holes 11. For each first through hole 11, a plurality of first extension grooves 12 are spaced apart on the inner peripheral wall of the PCB board 1, extending through the PCB board 1 along the axial direction of the first through hole 11. The electronic components 2 are located on the first side of the PCB board 1. The heat sink 3 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first through holes 11 and is attached to the second side of the PCB board 1. The leads 4 of the electronic components 2 pass through the first through holes 11 and connect to the heat sink 3. The leads 4 are fixed to the first through holes 11 by soldering, and the outer peripheral wall of the leads 4 and the inner peripheral wall of the first extension grooves 12 together form a solder run-through gap. The electronic components 2 are connected to the leads 4.

[0039] In this embodiment, the PCB board 1 has multiple first through holes 11 for the pins 4 of the electronic components 2 to be inserted. For each first through hole 11, a plurality of first extension grooves 12 are spaced apart on the inner peripheral wall, extending axially through the first through hole 11 and penetrating the PCB board 1. When the pin 4 is inserted into the first through hole 11, the outer peripheral wall of the pin 4 and the inner peripheral wall of the first extension groove 12 together form a solder crawling gap. This allows the molten solder to flow along the pin 4 to the designated soldering area within the solder crawling gap, further improving the soldering quality of the pin 4 and effectively enhancing the high current carrying capacity of the pin 4. Furthermore, a heat sink 3 is attached to the second side of the PCB board 1. The pin 4 passes through the first through hole 11 on the first side of the PCB board 1 and connects to the heat sink 3. The heat sink 3 effectively improves the heat dissipation performance at the pin 4 location, enhancing the reliability and effectiveness of the electronic components 2. Furthermore, the application of the aforementioned welding structure to the inverter effectively enhances the ability of the electronic components 2 inside the inverter to carry large currents and improves heat dissipation performance, thereby effectively improving the reliability and effectiveness of the inverter's operation.

[0040] In this embodiment, the heat sink 3 has a second through hole 31, and the pin 4 passes through the first through hole 11 and is inserted into the second through hole 31. The structure is simple, easy to assemble, and also facilitates subsequent soldering work.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the pin 4 of the electronic component 2 is either a first shape or a second shape. The first through hole 11 includes a first through hole A111 and a first through hole B112. The cross-sectional shape of the first through hole A111 is the first shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the first through hole B112 is the second shape. The cross-section of the second through hole 31 is a combined shape, which is formed by superimposing the center of the first shape with the second shape. Specifically, the pin 4 includes a first pin 41 and a second pin 42. The cross-sectional shape of the first pin 41 is the first shape, and the shape of the second pin 42 is the second shape. Specifically, the electronic component 2 of the inverter includes electronic component A21 and electronic component B22. The first pin 41 is disposed on electronic component A21, and the second pin 42 is disposed on electronic component B22.

[0042] The first through-hole A111 corresponds to electronic component A21 and is used for the insertion of the first pin 41 of electronic component A21. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of both the first pin 41 and the first through-hole A111 is set to the first shape. The first through-hole B112 corresponds to electronic component B22 and is used for the insertion of the second pin 42 of electronic component B22. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of both the second pin 42 and the first through-hole B112 is set to the second shape. The cross-sectional shape of the second through-hole 31 on the heat sink 3 is a combined shape, which is formed by superimposing the second shape on the center of the first shape. This allows the second through-hole 31 to simultaneously accommodate the insertion of the first pin 41 and the second pin 42, effectively improving the compatibility of the heat sink 3.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the cross-sections of the first through hole A111, the first through hole B112, and the second through hole 31 are all of a combined shape, which is formed by superimposing a second shape on the center of a first shape. This arrangement allows the first through hole A111 and the first through hole B112 to simultaneously accommodate the insertion of the first pin 41 and the second pin 42, further improving the usability compatibility of the PCB board 1.

[0044] For example, the first shape may be, but is not limited to, a circle, and the second shape may be, but is not limited to, a square, with the circle and the square having a common center.

[0045] Furthermore, the inner peripheral wall of the second through hole 31 is provided with a plurality of second extension grooves 32 spaced apart. The second extension grooves 32 penetrate the heat sink 3 along the axial direction of the second through hole 31, and the plurality of second extension grooves 32 are correspondingly connected to the plurality of first extension grooves 12. Specifically, the corresponding arrangement of the second extension grooves 32 is used to avoid the first extension grooves 12, so as to prevent the heat sink 3 from blocking the area of ​​the first extension grooves 12 after it is attached.

[0046] For example, the number of first extension slots 12 and the number of second extension slots 32 are both set to four. The four first extension slots 12 are arranged in a cross shape around the first through hole 11, and the four second extension slots 32 are arranged in a cross shape around the second through hole 31. The cross-shaped arrangement of the four first extension slots 12 ensures that the soldering capability of the pin 4 is improved uniformly and reliably, while the corresponding number and position of the second extension slots 32 avoids blocking all the first extension slots 12.

[0047] In this embodiment, the heat sink 3 is soldered to the second side of the PCB board 1. This arrangement ensures a reliable and secure connection. Besides soldering, the heat sink 3 can also be connected by screws for easy disassembly and replacement.

[0048] In this embodiment, the end face of the pin 4 is flush with the end face of the heat sink 3 facing away from the PCB board 1. This arrangement avoids the pin 4 protruding from the heat sink 3, facilitating the overall installation of the PCB board 1, simplifying the layout, and saving space.

[0049] In some other alternative implementations, pin 4 may not be fitted with heat sink 3; instead, pin 4 can be plugged into PCB board 1 and soldered to PCB board 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the heat sink 3 is made of copper. Copper is inexpensive and has good heat transfer properties, making it suitable for the fabrication of the heat sink 3.

[0051] In summary, the welding structure provided in this embodiment enhances the ability of electronic components inside the inverter to carry large currents and improves heat dissipation performance when used in an inverter, effectively improving the reliability and effectiveness of the inverter's operation.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
