Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In this application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
In order to solve the problems that in the prior art, when a plurality of packaged modules are connected in parallel, the margin design is difficult, the design wiring difficulty is high, and the stray inductance of the packaged modules is high, the embodiment of the application provides a bridge arm module, and the topology structure of the bridge arm module is not limited, such as any one of a full-bridge topology, a half-bridge topology, a three-phase four-bridge arm inversion topology, a boosting topology, a step-down topology, and a step-up and step-down topology.
The topological structure of the bridge arm module comprises a plurality of power devices. As shown in fig. 1a, in the bridge arm module 10, each power device is packaged in at least two packaging modules 20, and each packaging module 20 adopts at least two different packaging methods.
In practical application, the bridge arm module 10 may include only a single bridge arm, where the single bridge arm includes a plurality of power devices, and the power devices are respectively packaged in at least two packaging modules with different packaging methods. The bridge arm module 10 may also include a first bridge arm and a second bridge arm connected in parallel; the first bridge arm comprises a single power device, such as a bypass device and the like; the second bridge arm comprises a plurality of power devices, such as a boost topology, a buck topology or a buck-boost topology; the first bridge arm and the second bridge arm are respectively packaged in at least two packaging modules with different packaging modes.
Moreover, each encapsulation module 20 at least adopts two different encapsulation methods, which may specifically be: the packaging materials of the packaging modules 20 are different, for example, there are packaging modules 20 using the packaging material with the auxiliary heat dissipation portion, and there are packaging modules 20 using the packaging material without the auxiliary heat dissipation portion; the auxiliary heat dissipation portion may be a copper substrate or an aluminum substrate, which is not limited herein. Each encapsulation module 20 adopts at least two different encapsulation methods, which may be: the packaging materials of the packaging modules 20 are the same, but the packaging structures of the packaging modules 20 are different; the packaging material and the packaging structure of each packaging module 20 may be different; depending on the specific application environment, are all within the scope of the present application.
For example, in practical applications, if a plurality of power devices included in the bridge arm module 10 are packaged in two package modules 20, the two package modules 20 may adopt a package manner with a copper substrate as shown in fig. 2a and 2b, or a package manner without a copper substrate as shown in fig. 2c or 2 d.
However, in consideration of reasonable utilization of the two packaging methods, as shown in fig. 1b, the packaging module with a larger heat value, i.e., the first packaging module 21, is usually packaged in a packaging method with a copper substrate, so that the heat dissipation capability of the first packaging module is enhanced, and the first packaging module can dissipate heat quickly to ensure normal operation of the first packaging module; moreover, the second package module 22, which is a package module with a smaller heat value, is usually packaged in a package manner without a copper substrate, so that the package cost is reduced and the package volume is correspondingly reduced on the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the package module.
In practical application, in the bridge arm module 10, the power devices may be divided into two types, one type is a power device with high frequency commutation, and the other type is a power device without high frequency commutation, and the heat value of the power device with high frequency commutation is larger than that of the power device without high frequency commutation, so that the power device packaged in the first packaging module 21 is a power device with high frequency commutation, such as a high frequency power device; the power devices packaged in the second packaging module 22 are power devices without high frequency commutation, such as power frequency power devices.
The above is only one packaging scheme of a plurality of power devices in the bridge arm module 10, and in the packaging process of the bridge arm module 10, another packaging scheme of a plurality of power devices may also be actually adopted, specifically:
in the bridge arm module 10, the power devices are similarly classified into two types, but one type is a power device through which an active current flows, and the other type is a power device through which a reactive current flows, and the amount of heat generated by the power device through which the active current flows is larger than the amount of heat generated by the power device through which the reactive current flows, and therefore, the power device packaged in the first packaging module 21 is a power device through which the active current flows, and the power device packaged in the second packaging module 22 is a power device through which the reactive current flows.
The two packaging schemes of the power devices are only the preferable schemes of the packaging schemes of the power devices, and the circuit power devices which work for a long time and have large heat productivity are placed in the module with the copper substrate due to the fact that the circuit power devices are divided according to the functions of the devices, so that the heat dissipation advantage is well played. In practical application, the packaging schemes of the plurality of power devices include, but are not limited to, the two packaging schemes, which are not specifically limited herein, and may be selected according to specific situations, and the method is within the protection scope of the present application as long as the method packages all the power devices in the topology of the bridge arm module 10 into a plurality of packaging modules respectively by longitudinally splitting all the power devices in the topology of the bridge arm module 10, and then connects the packaging modules according to the topology structure, so that each packaging module meets the requirement of the packaging scale limitation.
According to the above scheme, each power device of the bridge arm module 10 provided by the present application is respectively packaged in at least two packaging modules 20, that is, the packaging modules after longitudinal splitting are connected according to a topological structure, instead of the scheme of parallel connection of the packaging modules after parallel splitting in the prior art, so that the topological structure of the bridge arm module 10 does not need to be equally divided according to a circuit structure or power, and therefore, when a plurality of power devices in the bridge arm module 10 are packaged, the power of the packaging modules 20 can be maximally utilized, and the problem of margin design does not exist, thereby solving the problem of difficulty in margin design when a plurality of packaging modules 20 are connected in parallel in the prior art. In addition, when the plurality of power devices in each bridge arm module 10 are packaged, each packaged module 20 of the bridge arm module 10 may be composed of power devices of different types, so that the power of the power devices can be utilized to the maximum extent, the size of the power devices is optimal, and no waste is caused.
In addition, each packaging module in each bridge arm adopts at least two different packaging modes, so that the wiring design difficulty is reduced, and parasitic parameters among the packaging modules are reduced. In addition, the difference of the packaging modes is more beneficial to the differentiation of a plurality of packaging modules 20, so that the bus bar layout is more convenient and is not limited by the consistency of the positions of the same packaging pins.
The above embodiment describes in detail a packaging scheme of a plurality of power devices included in the topology structure of the bridge arm module 10, and the embodiment further describes the topology structure of the bridge arm module 10 as an example of an ANPC three-level topology structure.
The ANPC three-level circuit is a relatively mature conversion circuit in the prior art, and generally has a structure as shown in fig. 3, and specifically includes: the circuit comprises a first switch tube Q1, a first anti-parallel diode D1, a second switch tube Q2, a second anti-parallel diode D2, a third switch tube Q3, a third anti-parallel diode D3, a fourth switch tube Q4, a fourth anti-parallel diode D4, a fifth switch tube Q5, a fifth anti-parallel diode D5, a sixth switch tube Q6 and a sixth anti-parallel diode D6.
In the ANPC three-level circuit, an input end of a first switching tube Q1 is used as a direct-current side positive pole P + of the ANPC three-level circuit, an output end of a first switching tube Q1 is connected with an input end of a second switching tube Q2, an output end of a second switching tube Q2 is connected with an input end of a third switching tube Q3, an output end of a third switching tube Q3 is connected with an input end of a fourth switching tube Q4, and an output end of a fourth switching tube Q4 is used as a direct-current side negative pole N-; an input end of the fifth switching tube Q5 is connected with an output end of the first switching tube Q1, an output end of the fifth switching tube Q5 is connected with an input end of the sixth switching tube Q6, an output end of the sixth switching tube Q6 is connected with an input end of the fourth switching tube Q4, a connection point of an output end of the second switching tube Q2 and an input end of the third switching tube Q3 is used as a direct current side middle point Ne of the ANPC three-level circuit, and a connection point of an output end of the fifth switching tube Q5 and an input end of the sixth switching tube Q6 is used as an alternating current side AC of the ANPC three-level circuit.
The first anti-parallel diode D1 is connected in parallel with two ends of the first switch tube Q1 in an opposite direction, the second anti-parallel diode D2 is connected in parallel with two ends of the second switch tube Q2 in an opposite direction, the third anti-parallel diode D3 is connected in parallel with two ends of the third switch tube Q3 in an opposite direction, and the fourth anti-parallel diode D4 is connected in parallel with two ends of the fourth switch tube Q4 in an opposite direction.
It should be noted that, when each switching tube in fig. 3 is a switching tube with a body diode, each backward diode is the body diode of each switching tube; when each anti-parallel diode in fig. 3 is an external diode, each switching tube may be a switching tube with a body diode (the body diode is not shown in the figure), or a switching tube without a body diode, which is not specifically limited herein and is within the scope of the present application as the case may be.
When the ANPC three-level circuit operates in a positive half cycle of the voltage output from the AC output side, as can be seen from the control method of the ANPC three-level circuit, if the voltage output from the AC side of the ANPC three-level circuit is a positive voltage and the current is a positive current, as shown in fig. 4a, the first switching tube Q1 and the fifth switching tube Q5 are turned on, the current flows in from P +, then flows through the first switching tube Q1 and the fifth switching tube Q5, and then flows out from the AC.
If the voltage output by the AC side of the ANPC three-level circuit is a positive voltage and the current is zero, the second anti-parallel diode D2 and the fifth switch Q5 are turned on as shown in fig. 4b, and the current flows in from Ne, then flows through the second anti-parallel diode D2 and the fifth switch Q5, and then flows out from AC.
If the voltage output by the AC side of the ANPC three-level circuit is zero and the current is negative, the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 and the first anti-parallel diode D1 are turned on as shown in fig. 4c, and the current flows from the AC, then flows through the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 and the first anti-parallel diode D1, and then flows out from the P +.
When the voltage output from the AC side of the ANPC three-level circuit is a positive voltage and the current is a negative current, the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 and the second switch Q2 are turned on as shown in fig. 4D, and the current flows in from the AC, then flows through the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 and the second switch Q2, and then flows out from Ne.
When the ANPC three-level circuit operates in the negative half-cycle of the voltage output from the ac output side, the above process is similar to that described above, and the description thereof is omitted here.
As for the first packaging scheme of the plurality of power devices in the bridge arm module 10 in the above embodiment, as can be seen from the above description, when the output voltage at the ac output side is in the positive half cycle, as shown in fig. 5a, the power devices with high frequency commutation are the first switching tube Q1 and the first anti-parallel diode D1, and the second switching tube Q2 and the second anti-parallel diode D2, and the power devices without high frequency commutation are the fifth switching tube Q5 and the fifth anti-parallel diode D5; when the output voltage on the alternating current side is in a negative half period, as shown in fig. 5a, the power devices with high-frequency commutation are the third switch tube Q3 and the third anti-parallel diode D3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 and the fourth anti-parallel diode D4, and the power devices without high-frequency commutation are the sixth switch tube Q6 and the sixth anti-parallel diode D6.
It should be noted that, in practical application, since the first switch tube Q1 in fig. 5a cannot accurately refer to the switch tube at the corresponding position in the ANPC three-level circuit, the first switch tube Q1 and the first anti-parallel diode D1, the second switch tube Q2 and the second anti-parallel diode D2, the third switch tube Q3 and the third anti-parallel diode D3, and the fourth switch tube Q4 and the fourth anti-parallel diode D4 in fig. 5a are described as follows: four switching tubes and parallel diodes thereof, wherein the four switching tubes are connected with the direct current side; and the fifth switching tube Q5 and the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 and the sixth switching tube Q6 and the sixth anti-parallel diode D6 are described as: two switching tubes connected with the AC side and anti-parallel diodes thereof.
In summary, as shown by two dashed boxes in fig. 5a, the power device packaged in the first package module 21 with a large heat generation amount includes: four switching tubes and anti-parallel diodes thereof, wherein the four switching tubes are connected with the direct current side; the power device packaged in the second package module 22 having a smaller heat generation amount includes: two switching tubes connected with the AC side and anti-parallel diodes thereof.
Similarly, if the topology of each bridge arm is the NPC three-level topology shown in fig. 5b, the power device packaged in the first package module 21 with a large heat value includes: two switching tubes (Q1 and Q4) connected with the positive pole and the negative pole of the direct current side and anti-parallel diodes thereof, and two diodes (D2 and D3) connected with the middle point of the direct current side; the power device packaged in the second package module 22 having a smaller heat generation amount includes: two switching tubes (Q2 and Q3) and their anti-parallel diodes are connected with the AC side.
It should be noted that, for the first packaging scheme of the multiple power devices in the bridge arm module 10 in the foregoing embodiment, taking the ANPC three-level topology shown in fig. 5a as an example, if each anti-parallel diode is a body diode of each switching tube, each switching tube is a switching tube with a body diode; if each anti-parallel diode is an external diode which is connected with the corresponding switch tube in reverse parallel, each switch tube is a switch tube with a diode or a switch tube without a body diode.
As for the second packaging scheme of the plurality of power devices in the bridge arm module 10 in the above embodiment, as can be seen from the above description, when the output voltage on the ac output side is in the positive half cycle, as shown in fig. 6, the power devices through which the active current flows are the first switch tube Q1, the second anti-parallel diode D2 and the fifth switch tube Q5, and the power devices through which the reactive current flows are the first anti-parallel diode D1, the second switch tube Q2 and the fifth anti-parallel diode D5; when the output voltage on the ac side is in the negative half period, as shown in fig. 6, the power devices through which the active current flows are the third anti-parallel diode D3, the fourth switch Q4, and the sixth switch Q6, and the power devices through which the reactive current flows are the third switch Q3, the fourth anti-parallel diode D4, and the sixth anti-parallel diode D6.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, since the first switch tube Q1 in fig. 6 cannot accurately refer to the switch tube at the corresponding position in the ANPC three-level circuit, the first switch tube Q1 and the fourth switch tube Q4 in fig. 6 are described as follows: two switching tubes connected with the positive electrode and the negative electrode on the direct current side; the second anti-parallel diode D2 and the third anti-parallel diode D3 in fig. 6 are depicted as: the anti-parallel diodes of the two switching tubes are connected with the midpoint of the direct current side; the fifth switching tube Q5 and the sixth switching tube Q6 in fig. 6 are described as follows: two switching tubes connected to the AC side; the first anti-parallel diode D1 and the fourth anti-parallel diode D4 in fig. 6 are depicted as: the anti-parallel diodes of the two switching tubes are connected with the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the direct current side; the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 and the sixth anti-parallel diode D6 in fig. 6 are described as: anti-parallel diodes of two switching tubes connected with the alternating current side; the second switching tube Q2 and the third switching tube Q3 in fig. 6 are described as follows: and the two switching tubes are connected with the middle point of the direct current side.
