Description

IGBT module packaging structure and packaging method thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of packaging structures, and in particular to an IGBT module packaging structure and a packaging method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of power electronics technology, power modules have been increasingly widely used in industries such as aerospace, rail transportation, new energy vehicles, wind power generation, and photovoltaic power generation. The mainstream power module on the market today is the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) power module. Traditional IGBT power module packaging primarily involves soldering the collector of the power chip and the anode of the anti-parallel diode chip (FRD) to a copper-clad ceramic substrate (DBC) using lead-free solder. Wire bonding is then used to electrically interconnect the chips and the DBC board. A copper substrate is connected to the other side of the DBC, which is connected to a heat sink via thermal grease to dissipate heat from the power module. An IGBT module generally consists of components such as an IGBT chip, an FRD chip, a DBC, solder, a substrate, aluminum / copper-aluminum wire, and components.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent application, with publication number CN219267635U, discloses an IGBT module packaging structure comprising a substrate and a housing covering the substrate. The substrate and the interior of the housing form a housing for accommodating electronic devices. The structure further comprises a first chip, a second chip, and an electromagnetic wave absorbing silicone layer located within the housing cavity. The first chip and the second chip are both connected to bonding wires. The electromagnetic wave absorbing silicone layer fills the housing cavity and completely covers the first chip, the second chip, and the bonding wires. The electromagnetic wave absorbing silicone layer in the IGBT module packaging structure of the present invention completely covers the first chip, the second chip, and the bonding wires, providing long-term and effective protection for the IGBT power supply and electronic components. The electromagnetic wave absorbing silicone layer encapsulated in the housing cavity has a certain thickness, giving it good mechanical properties structurally and eliminating stress caused by shock and vibration within a wide temperature and humidity range.

[0004] The above packaging structure is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble during use, and the operation is relatively cumbersome during the disassembly and assembly process. In addition, the packaging shell is easily caused to fall off during use, which reduces the packaging efficiency of the device and affects the packaging effect.

The IGBT module body 1 is located at the top of the base plate 211 , and the packaging shell 212 is connected to the top of the base plate 211 through a limiting mechanism.

[0039] The limiting mechanism includes a block 214, a fixing sleeve 215, a slot 216, a rack plate 217 and a groove 218. The block 214 is fixed to the outer wall of the packaging shell 212, and a fixing sleeve 215 is fixed to the top of the bottom plate 211. A slot 216 for the block 214 to move up and down is provided on the top of the fixing sleeve 215. A groove 218 is provided on the side wall of the block 214. A rack plate 217 corresponding to the groove 218 is slidably connected to the top of the bottom plate 211. The rack plate 217 can slide horizontally to enter and exit the groove 218. When the rack plate 217 is inserted into the groove 218, it can be used to limit the block 214 from being disengaged from the slot 216.

Rotating the rotating screw sleeve 417 can drive the second connecting rod 415 to adjust up and down under the action of the thread, and can synchronously drive the four groups of movable cylinders 412 to move up and down, making the operation more efficient.

[0043] An IGBT module packaging method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Place the IGBT module body 1 on the base plate 211, and rotate the knob 225 to drive the rotating rod 223 and the rotating gear 224 to rotate, thereby moving the rack plate 217 to the left and compressing the telescopic spring 221;

[0045] Step 2: Then, the package shell 212 is sleeved on the base plate 211 and the IGBT module body 1, and the card block 214 is inserted into the card slot 216;

[0046] Step 3: Finally, release the knob 225 to drive the rack plate 217 to rebound under the elasticity of the telescopic spring 221. The rack plate 217 is used to be inserted into the groove 218 inside the block 214 to limit the upward movement of the block 214.

[0047] Working principle: When packaging is required, the IGBT module body 1 is placed on the base plate 211, and the knob 225 is rotated to drive the rotating rod 223 and the rotating gear 224 to rotate, driving the rack plate 217 to move leftward and compressing the telescopic spring 221. Then, the packaging shell 212 is sleeved on the base plate 211 and the IGBT module body 1, so that the block 214 is inserted into the slot 216. Finally, the knob 225 is released to drive the rack plate 217 to rebound under the elasticity of the telescopic spring 221. The rack plate 217 is used to be inserted into the groove 218 inside the block 214 to limit the upward movement of the block 214.

[0048] When the transparent plate 213 needs to be cleaned, the rotating handle 318 is rotated to drive the screw 312 to rotate, and the two sets of pulleys 316 and the belt 317 are rotated. Under the action of the thread, the threaded sleeve 313, the movable plate 314 and the cleaning pad 315 are driven to move horizontally. The cleaning pad 315 can wipe and clean the outer wall of the transparent plate 213, making it convenient for staff to observe.

[0049] When the height of the base plate 211 needs to be adjusted, the rotating sleeve 417 is used to drive the second connecting rod 415, the first connecting rod 414 and the four sets of movable cylinders 412 to move upward under the action of the thread, which can reduce the distance between the base plate 211 and the supporting surface, reduce the packaging height of the equipment, and save time and effort in operation.
