[0004] Currently, two-in-one controllers for automotive electric compressors and electric heaters require the mixed use of multiple IGBTs, which are distributed and installed within the controller.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative work.

[0053] FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of a power module according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0054] FIG2 is a schematic structural diagram of a power module according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0056] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] It should also be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present disclosure. The illustrations only show components related to the present disclosure and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0058] Additionally, in the following description, details are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples, however, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the examples can be practiced without these specific details.

[0059] In-depth research into power modules, including those driving motors and electric heaters, revealed that two-in-one controllers for automotive electric compressors and heaters typically utilize eight to ten IGBTs (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors). Six of these IGBTs form a three-way H-bridge to control the motor, while two to four IGBTs control the electric heater. Multiple IGBTs are distributed within the controller. Each IGBT requires an external temperature sensor to monitor its temperature for thermal protection, and thermally conductive insulating gaskets for insulation and heat dissipation.

[0060] However, in the related art two-in-one controller for automotive electric compressors and electric heaters, multiple IGBT single tubes occupy a large space, which is not conducive to product miniaturization. The IGBT single tube needs to use thermally conductive insulating cloth or ceramic sheets to achieve insulation and thermal conductivity. The thermally conductive insulating cloth has low thermal conductivity, which is not conducive to heat dissipation, and the ceramic sheet is fragile and difficult to assemble. The IGBT single tube uses an external temperature sensor to detect the IGBT temperature. Affected by the ambient temperature and thermal resistance, the external temperature sensor cannot accurately detect the IGBT temperature, and the IGBT is prone to overheating and failure. In addition, the related art two-in-one controller for automotive electric compressors and electric heaters requires multiple discrete IGBT devices to be installed on the radiator, which has low installation efficiency and low heat dissipation efficiency.

[0061] Based on this, the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in conjunction with Figures 1 and 2.

[0062] An embodiment of this specification proposes a power module, which is used to drive a motor and an electric heater. As shown in Figure 1, the power module includes a motor control part and an electric heater control part; the motor control part includes multiple power chips for driving the motor, and the electric heater control part includes multiple power chips for driving the electric heater. The multiple power chips in the motor control part and the multiple power chips in the electric heater control part are integrated in the power module.

[0063] The power module of this embodiment integrates the power chip for controlling the motor and the power chip for controlling the electric heater into one module, and uses a single power module to realize the functions of controlling the motor and the electric heater, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the power module, and then reducing the volume of the two-in-one controller of the electric compressor and the electric heater, simplifying the production process of the two-in-one controller of the electric compressor and the electric heater. At the same time, the power module of this embodiment integrates the power chip for controlling the motor and the power chip for controlling the electric heater. It only needs to install the power module on the radiator to realize the heat dissipation of multiple power chips. There is no need to install the power chips one by one on the radiator for heat dissipation, which improves the installation efficiency of the power module and the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments, the power chip of the motor control unit includes at least one of an IGBT chip, a SiC chip, a MOSFET chip, and a GaN chip. That is, the power chip integrated into the power module of this embodiment is not limited to IGBTs, but may also include SiC (silicon carbide), MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor), and GaN (gallium nitride).

[0065] In some embodiments, the plurality of power chips of the electric heater control part include at least one of an IGBT chip, a SiC chip, a MOSFET chip, and a GaN chip.

[0066] In some embodiments, the power module further includes multiple temperature sensors, which are built into the power module and used to detect the temperatures of the multiple power chips of the motor control part and the multiple power chips of the electric heater control part.

[0067] In this way, by building a temperature sensor into the power module, the temperature of the power chip inside the power module can be accurately detected, reducing the risk of thermal failure of the power chip.

[0068] It is understandable that the temperature sensor and multiple power chips can be packaged together in a power module through packaging technologies such as reflow soldering, aluminum wire ultrasonic bonding and other processes.

[0069] In some embodiments, the power module further includes a copper-clad ceramic substrate, and the plurality of power chips of the motor control part and the plurality of power chips of the electric heater control part are mounted on the copper-clad ceramic substrate.

The power chips in the copper-clad ceramic substrate and the heat dissipation surface of the copper-clad ceramic substrate are insulated. The power module can be directly installed on the heat sink during use. There is no need to add thermal insulating cloth or ceramic sheets to the outside of the power module to achieve insulation and heat conduction, which avoids the increase in thermal resistance of the module caused by adding thermal insulating cloth or ceramic sheets, is conducive to increasing the thermal conductivity efficiency of each power chip and reducing the risk of thermal failure of each power chip.
