Thus, the IGBT power module 100 has very good withstand voltage and current capability.
In one embodiment, an upper pressure bearing assembly 30 is disposed between upper insulating plate 11 and upper end plate 2. The upper bearing assembly 30 has a first bearing disc 7. In addition, a lower pressure bearing disk 8 is disposed between the lower insulation plate 12 and the lower end plate 3. Preferably, the first pressure bearing disk 7 and the lower pressure bearing disk 8 are made of a high-strength carbon steel material, for example, 1Cr18Ni9 Ti. The structure is not easy to deform under the action of pressure, and is beneficial to ensuring the uniform pressure distribution of the whole IGBT power module 100.
In a preferred embodiment, the upper bearing assembly 30 further comprises a second bearing disc 6 and a spherical member 9. Wherein, the second bearing plate 6 is arranged opposite to the first bearing plate 7 and is positioned at the upper end of the first bearing plate 7. The ball 9 is embedded between the first pressure bearing disk 7 and the second pressure bearing disk 6 for equalizing pressure.

And when the upper bearing assembly 30 includes the second bearing disc 6, the buffer 10 is disposed between the upper end plate 2 and the second bearing disc 6.
In addition, in a specific embodiment, the upper end face of the second pressure bearing disc 6 is configured with two steps, i.e., a first step 32 and a second step 33. Wherein the upper end of the first step 32 is embedded in the lower end face of the upper end plate 2 to form a concavo-convex fit with the upper end plate 2. The matching mode is convenient to install and is beneficial to the pressure balance transmission between the upper end plate 2 and the second pressure bearing disc 6. In addition, the disc spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the second pressure bearing disc 6 between the first step 32 and the second step 33, the upper end face of the disc spring is abutted with the upper end plate 2, and the lower end face of the disc spring is abutted with the second pressure bearing disc 6, so that the effect of buffering the uniform pressure is achieved. The structure is convenient to position and simplifies installation.

Similarly, the lower end surface of the lower insulating plate 12 is configured with a second groove 37 for embedding the lower bearing disk 8 and forming a concave-convex fit. The concave-convex arrangement helps to improve the uniformity of pressure distribution and is convenient to position. Preferably, the ratio of the depth of the first groove 34 to the radius of the first groove 36 is 1.5-4, for example a ratio of 2. The structure of the IGBT power module 100 can be optimized through the arrangement, and the pressure transmission uniformity is improved while the creepage distance requirements among different electric potentials are ensured. Similarly, the relationship between the second groove 35 and the second groove 37 can also refer to the above arrangement.

Specifically, a cooling medium (which may be a liquid, such as water, or a gas) may be supplied into the box through the inlet 16, and the cooling medium circulates in the flow channel to cool the IGBT subunit 14 disposed outside the box. Preferably, the first electrical connector 13, the second electrical connector 13' and the third electrical connector 13 ″ are all configured as a box body, and the upper and lower surfaces of any IGBT subunit 14 are abutted against the box body, so as to achieve the effect of double-sided heat dissipation. In addition, a plate-shaped connecting portion 17 is provided on the side wall of the case to protrude outward. Meanwhile, a connection hole 19 is formed on the connection portion 17 to facilitate electrical connection. The structure of the first electrical connector 13, the second electrical connector 13' and the third electrical connector 13 ″ described above realizes dual functions of heat dissipation and electrical connection, simplifies the design, and has a very good heat dissipation effect at the same time.
In one embodiment, in order to ensure accurate centering of the devices of the IGBT power module 100 and to ensure structural stability during long-term operation of the IGBT power module 100, pins 15 may be used to position the devices.

As another example, a pin 15 may also be provided between the IGBT subunit 14 and the second electrical connection 13', as desired. So that the pins 15 can be arranged between different devices according to different needs. The arrangement structure can maintain the long-term operation stability of the IGBT power module 100, and can effectively protect the IGBT subunits 14 to meet various operating conditions of the IGBT subunits.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, an insulating sleeve 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 1 for high potential isolation between the connecting rod 1 and the IGBT subunit 14, so as to ensure the safety of the IGBT power module 100.
