DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.
[0030] The power module 100 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 , a power module 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes: a base plate 10 , a plurality of power units, and a packaging case 50 .
[0032] In some embodiments, the power module body includes multiple semiconductor devices constituting an OBC-DC circuit. The power module body is disposed on the first side of the base plate 10 , and the packaging shell 50 packages multiple power units on the first side of the base plate 10 .
[0033] In other words, the power module 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is primarily composed of a base plate 10, a power module body, and a packaging shell 50. In some embodiments, the power module 100 can be used in an OBC-DC circuit. The OBC-DC circuit can be an integrated circuit combining an OBC circuit and a DC-DC circuit. The OBC (onboard charger) circuit is the charging circuit of an onboard charger and can be connected to an AC power source to charge the vehicle's high-voltage battery. The DC-DC circuit is a DC-to-DC converter circuit that can connect a high-voltage battery and a low-voltage battery to charge the low-voltage battery.
[0034] In some embodiments, the base plate 10 may have a first side surface and a second side surface disposed opposite each other. A power module body may be provided on the first side surface of the base plate 10. The power module body may include multiple semiconductor devices that can be used to form an OBC-DC circuit. It should be noted that the OBC-DC circuit may also include, but is not limited to, components such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers.
[0035] Alternatively, the semiconductor device may be a combination of one or more of a MOS transistor, a diode, an IGBT, and the like. It should be noted that the semiconductor device may be a controllable semiconductor or an uncontrollable semiconductor, without limitation herein. For example, the OBC circuit may include a PFC circuit 61 (power factor correction circuit), which may include a combination of a MOS transistor and a diode.
[0036] In addition, the packaging shell 50 can encapsulate the power module body and the first side of the base plate 10, so that the multiple semiconductor devices in the power module body are electrically connected to each other to form an independent power module 100. The encapsulated power module 100 can be provided with pins connected to the power module body to facilitate connecting the power module 100 to a corresponding circuit. Optionally, a potting compound can be poured into the packaging shell 50 to insulate the components in the encapsulated power module body from each other.
[0037] Thus, the power module 100 provided in this application integrates and packages the multiple semiconductor devices that comprise the OBC-DC circuit onto a single baseplate 10. Compared to the multiple independently packaged MOS transistors used in conventional circuits, the power module 100 of this embodiment is more compact, smaller, and more reliable. This helps reduce the size and weight of the on-board charging device 1000, facilitates the design and application of the OBC-DC circuit, and achieves a high degree of integration. Furthermore, the power module 100 of this embodiment facilitates centralized heat dissipation, reducing the complexity of the heat dissipation structure.
[0038] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the power module body includes multiple power cells spaced apart from each other. Spacing the multiple power cells allows for mutual insulation between the multiple power cells. That is, the power cells are not electrically connected within the power module 100, ensuring that the power cells are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the EMC performance of the power module 100.
[0039] Each power unit can realize a part of the functions in the OBC-DC circuit, and multiple power units can be integrated and packaged between the packaging shell 50 and the base plate 10.
[0040] It should be noted that the structures of the power units can be the same or different, which is not limited here. The operating voltage corresponding to each power unit can be set according to the actual operating voltage of the OBC-DC circuit.
[0041] In some other embodiments, a spacing groove is provided between two adjacent power units. By providing the spacing groove between adjacent power units, the adjacent power units can be spaced apart to achieve insulation between the adjacent power units, and the spacing groove has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.
[0042] In some specific embodiments of the present application, there is one package housing 50 and it is an integrated structure. In other words, multiple power units are packaged by one package housing 50, which is beneficial to improving the integration of the power module 100 and reducing the volume of the power module 100.
[0043] It should be noted that the integrated structure of the packaging shell 50 can be an integrally formed structure or an integrated structure formed by a fixed connection method, which is not limited here. The fixed connection method includes but is not limited to welding, clamping, screwing and other connection methods.
[0044] According to one embodiment of the present application, each power unit includes a conductive layer and at least two semiconductor devices, and the semiconductor devices are electrically connected through the conductive layer.
[0045] In some embodiments, the conductive layer may be a metal layer having good conductive properties, for example, the conductive layer may be a copper layer. The conductive layer may be opposite to the first side surface of the base plate 10 .
[0046] Optionally, the conductive layer may include a plurality of semiconductor mounting portions, each of which may be provided with one or more semiconductor devices. Adjacent semiconductor mounting portions may be spaced apart to insulate each other. The semiconductor mounting portions may be used to mount semiconductor devices.
[0047] By isolating the plurality of semiconductor mounting parts from each other, it is possible to eliminate electrical connection between the semiconductor mounting parts, thereby achieving the goal of independent semiconductor devices on the semiconductor mounting parts without interfering with each other.
[0048] The conductive layer can electrically connect multiple semiconductor devices in each power unit. Using the conductive layer to connect semiconductor devices has the advantage of high reliability.
[0049] Optionally, the conductive layer can connect two of the multiple semiconductor devices to form a half-bridge, with each bridge arm comprising two semiconductor devices. When the power unit comprises two semiconductor devices, the conductive layer can connect the two semiconductor devices to form one bridge arm. When the power unit comprises four semiconductor devices, the four semiconductor devices can be divided into two groups, and the two semiconductor devices in each group can be electrically connected via the conductive layer to form one bridge arm, i.e., a total of two bridge arms can be formed.
[0050] According to some specific embodiments of the present application, each semiconductor device has a drain 41 electrically connected to the conductive layer on its side facing the conductive layer, and a source and a gate 43 on its side away from the conductive layer.
[0051] In some embodiments, the first side of each semiconductor device may face the conductive layer, and a drain 41 is provided on the first side of each semiconductor device. The drain 41 may be electrically connected to the conductive layer. For example, the drain 41 may be directly welded to the conductive layer.
[0052] The second side of each semiconductor device can be remote from the conductive layer, and each semiconductor device can be provided with a source electrode and a gate electrode 43 on the second side. The source electrode and gate electrode 43 can be electrically connected to the conductive layer via a wire bond. In other words, each semiconductor device can be connected to the conductive layer and the wire bond to form a portion of the OBC-DC circuit structure. Optionally, the wire bond can be a copper bonding wire, and the semiconductor device can be a Si-based wafer or a SiC-based wafer.
[0053] In addition, corresponding pins may be connected to the conductive layer, and a portion of the pins may extend out of the package shell 50 to lead out the source, drain 41 or gate 43 of the semiconductor device, thereby facilitating connection of the power module 100 to the OBC-DC circuit.
[0054] In this embodiment, the drain 41 is arranged on the side of the semiconductor device facing the conductive layer, and the source and gate 43 are arranged on the side of the semiconductor device away from the conductive layer. This facilitates the connection between the drive circuit in the on-board charging device 1000 and the gate 43 of the semiconductor device, thereby reducing the distance between the drive circuit and the gate 43, which is beneficial to the transmission of high-frequency switching signals in the drive circuit.
[0055] Optionally, the conductive layer may further include a plurality of pin mounting portions, which may be insulated from each other, and each pin mounting portion may be electrically connected to the semiconductor device via a metal binding wire. At least one pin may be connected to each pin mounting portion, and a portion of the pin may extend out of the package shell 50 to lead out the source, drain 41 or gate 43 of the semiconductor device, thereby facilitating connection of the power module 100 to the OBC-DC circuit.
[0056] In some other embodiments, the thickness and profile of the packaging shell 50 and the base plate 10 can be designed according to the requirements of the vehicle charging device 1000, the pins on the power module 100 can be adjusted according to safety regulations, voltage rating, circuit board layout and other requirements, the size of each semiconductor device can be selected according to the power level or overcurrent capacity of the vehicle charging device 1000, and the distance between adjacent semiconductor devices can also be adjusted according to actual regulations.

[0058] In some embodiments, each power unit further includes a plurality of protection elements, and the plurality of protection elements are connected to the plurality of semiconductor devices in a one-to-one correspondence to protect the semiconductor devices.
[0059] For example, the protection element may be a diode, and specifically, a common example is a combination of an IGBT and a freewheeling diode.
[0060] According to some other embodiments of the present application, each power unit further includes a substrate, which is disposed between the corresponding conductive layer and the bottom plate 10 .
[0061] By providing a substrate between the bottom plate 10 and the conductive layer, insulation can be achieved between the conductive layer and the bottom plate 10. Furthermore, each power unit includes a corresponding substrate, which allows for mutual independence between the multiple power units and electrical insulation between the power units. Because each power unit can have a different operating voltage, isolating the power units via the corresponding substrates can prevent mutual interference between the multiple power units and improve the EMC characteristics of the power module 100.
[0062] According to one embodiment of the present application, the plurality of power units include a first power unit 21 , a second power unit 22 , and a third power unit 23 that are spaced apart.
[0063] In some embodiments, the number of power units in the power module 100 may be three, namely a first power unit 21 , a second power unit 22 and a third power unit 23 . The three power units may be spaced apart so as to be electrically insulated from each other.
[0064] In some specific embodiments, the substrate in the first power unit 21 may be a first substrate 211 , the conductive layer in the first power unit 21 may be a first conductive layer 212 , and the semiconductor devices in the first power unit 21 may be electrically connected through the first conductive layer 212 .
[0065] The substrate of the second power unit 22 may be a second substrate 221 , the conductive layer in the second power unit 22 may be a second conductive layer 222 , and the semiconductor devices in the second power unit 22 may be electrically connected via the second conductive layer 222 .
[0066] The substrate of the third power unit 23 may be a third substrate 231 , the conductive layer in the second power unit 22 may be a third conductive layer 232 , and the semiconductor devices in the third power unit 23 may be electrically connected through the third conductive layer 232 .
[0067] In addition, the first substrate 211, the second substrate 221, and the third substrate 231 can be spaced apart from each other. By providing three spaced-apart substrates, the three power units can be isolated from each other, thereby preventing interference between the substrates and improving the reliability of the power module 100. Optionally, all three substrates can be ceramic insulating plates to insulate the conductive layer from the base plate 10.
[0068] In this embodiment, the multiple semiconductor devices in the OBC-DC circuit are respectively arranged in three groups of power units, and the three power units are insulated from each other. On the one hand, this can facilitate the wiring design of the circuit in the power module 100. On the other hand, it can also reduce the interference between the power units and improve the EMC performance of the power module 100. At the same time, it also facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the power module 100 and improves production efficiency.
[0069] In some embodiments, the operating voltage of the first power unit 21 can be 220V, and the operating voltage of the second power unit 22 can correspond to the voltage across the battery pack in the vehicle.

Thus, the circuit connected to the primary side of transformer T1 can be integrated on the first conductive layer 212, the circuit connected to the secondary side of transformer T1 can be integrated on the second conductive layer 222, and the circuit connected to the secondary side of T2 can be integrated on the third conductive layer 232, which facilitates electrical insulation between the primary and secondary circuits of each transformer.

[0082] The DC circuit is used to charge the low-voltage battery. This DC circuit is only the secondary side of the voltage conversion circuit. The primary side of the voltage conversion circuit can be the primary side of the LLC circuit or the secondary side of the LLC circuit. That is to say, the primary side circuit of the LLC circuit and the DC circuit together constitute the DCDC circuit, or the secondary side circuit of the LLC circuit and the DC circuit together constitute the DCDC circuit.
[0083] In some embodiments, the DCDC circuit can convert the current output by the battery pack into a low-voltage current of 12V.
[0084] In some other embodiments, the DCDC circuit can convert 220V AC power into 12V low-voltage power to charge the low-voltage battery.
