Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided for illustrative purposes, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the present disclosure. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended that features of the invention be limited to these embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is described in connection with the embodiments for the purpose of covering alternatives or modifications that may be extended based on the claims of the present invention. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention may be practiced without these particulars. Moreover, some of the specific details have been left out of the description in order to avoid obscuring or obscuring the focus of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a power module dynamic performance testing apparatus according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing a connection relationship of members mounted on a test section.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a power module dynamic performance testing apparatus 1 according to the present invention is a power module dynamic performance testing apparatus for testing dynamic performance of a power module 10, and includes a control unit 2, a pulse generation unit 3, a test unit 4, a data processing unit 5, a storage unit 6, a power module driving unit 7, a power supply 8, a bus 9, and a data acquisition unit 11.
The control unit 2 controls the pulse parameters and the test conditions.
The pulse generator 3 outputs a pulse signal based on the pulse parameter from the controller 2. The pulse signal may be a double pulse signal or a single pulse signal. In case the pulse signal is a double pulse signal, the reverse recovery process of the power module 10 can be observed.
The test section 4 has a power module driving section mounting section and a power module mounting section for mounting the power module 11, the power module driving section mounting section being electrically connected to the power module mounting section.
The power module driving unit 7 is detachably mounted on the power module driving unit mounting unit, for example, by a general-purpose or dedicated interface. The power module driving unit 7 drives the power module 10 based on the test condition from the control unit 2 and the pulse signal from the pulse generating unit 3.
The power supply 8 supplies current to the power module 10 when the power module driving unit 7 drives the power module 10. The power supply 8 may be a conventional power supply device such as a battery or a capacitor.
The busbar 9 is detachably mounted on the test section 4 and connects the power supply 8 and the power module 10.
The data acquisition unit 11 is electrically connected to the power module mounting unit, and acquires dynamic performance data (for example, a voltage waveform, a current waveform, and the like of the power module) of the power module 10 as test data when the power module 10 is driven by the power module driving unit 7.
The data processing unit 5 processes the test data, and for example, uses an oscilloscope as the data processing unit 5 to process the voltage waveform of the power module. The storage unit 6 stores the test data and the data processed by the data processing unit 5.
As shown in fig. 2, the power module driving unit 7, the power supply 8, the bus bar 9, and the data acquisition unit 11 may be mounted on the test unit 4, and the power module 10 may be mounted on the test unit 10. However, in the present invention, the power supply 8 and the data acquisition unit 11 may not be provided in the test unit 4.
In the present invention, a plurality of power module drivers 7 of different specifications and a plurality of busbars 9 of different specifications are provided, and one of the plurality of busbars 9 and one of the plurality of power module drivers 7 are mounted in the test section 4 so as to test the power module 10 under the same or similar actual use conditions of the power module 10.
Thus, the bus bar 9 and the power module driving unit 7 mounted on the test unit 4 can be designed as replaceable parts, and parasitic inductance in the test apparatus can be reduced.
In addition, in the present invention, the power module 10 can be tested under the same or similar conditions as the actual use conditions of the power module 10, and thus, the test result obtained by the present invention can be directly used as the basis for actually selecting the power module.
And, while different test conditions, such as parasitic inductance requirements, gate internal resistance requirements, etc., are required when testing the power modules 10 of different voltage classes, according to the present invention, the bus bar 9 and the power module driving part 7 mounted on the test part 4 can be designed as replaceable parts, and the power module 10 can be tested under the same or similar conditions as the actual use conditions of the power module 10, so that various different test conditions can be satisfied to cope with the test of various voltage classes.
In addition, in the present invention, the bus bar 9 may be a laminated bus bar. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the laminated bus bar. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the use of laminated bus bars to connect a power source to a power module.
As shown in fig. 3, the laminated busbar includes an upper insulating layer 91, an upper busbar 92, an intermediate insulating layer 93, a lower busbar 94, and a lower insulating layer 95. The laminated busbar may not have the upper insulating layer 91 and the lower insulating layer 95, but may have only the upper busbar 92, the intermediate insulating layer 93, and the lower busbar 94.
As shown in fig. 4, in the laminated busbar, the upper busbar and the lower busbar are parallel to each other, and the current in the upper busbar and the current in the lower busbar flow in opposite directions, so that the magnetic field generated by the current in the upper busbar and the magnetic field generated by the current in the lower busbar cancel each other, and the parasitic inductance in the busbar 9 can be reduced.
Since the parasitic inductance in the bus bar is proportional to the thickness of the intermediate insulating layer 93 and the intermediate insulating layer 93 also needs to have an insulating function, the intermediate insulating layer 93 is preferably made of an insulating material having high dielectric strength, for example, the intermediate insulating layer 93 is made of polyester film PET.
In addition, in order to further reduce the parasitic inductance in the testing device, the invention also improves the connection mode of connecting the power supply 8 and the power module 10 by using the busbar 9. This is described in more detail below with reference to fig. 4-7.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the power module 10 has an N-pole terminal and a P-pole terminal, the power supply 8 has a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and the busbar 9 has an upper busbar 92 (a solid line portion in fig. 5, also referred to as a positive busbar) connecting the P-pole terminal and the positive terminal, and a lower busbar 94 (a dotted line portion in fig. 5, also referred to as a negative busbar) connecting the N-pole terminal and the negative terminal.
If a connection line between a connection point of a P-pole terminal on the upper bus bar 92 and a connection point of a positive-pole terminal on the upper bus bar 92 is used as a first connection line, and a connection line between a connection point of an N-pole terminal on the lower bus bar 94 and a connection point of a negative-pole terminal on the lower bus bar 94 is used as a second connection line, the first connection line and the second connection line are parallel to each other in the present invention.
As described above, as shown in a of fig. 6, when the first connection line and the second connection line are not parallel to each other, a current flowing from the positive terminal to the P terminal (a solid line in a of fig. 6) and a current flowing from the N terminal to the negative terminal (a dashed line in a of fig. 6) cross each other and affect each other, thereby generating parasitic inductance. In the present invention, when the first connection line and the second connection line are parallel to each other, as shown in b of fig. 6, the current flow on the busbar 9 can be kept parallel without crossing, thereby reducing the parasitic inductance.
In the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, it is preferable that the first connection line, the second connection line, and the center line of the busbar are located on the same straight line when the busbar is viewed in plan. This can further reduce parasitic inductance.
As shown in fig. 7, the power module 10 is a three-phase bridge power module including three half-bridge circuits. In the conventional test apparatus, for convenience of testing, a busbar is used to connect the three half-bridge circuits to a power supply. However, at the time of testing, only one of the three half-bridge circuits can be tested at a time. The existing connection mode has a longer useless busbar, so that the existing connection mode has larger parasitic inductance.
In contrast, in the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the bus bar 9 connects only the half-bridge circuit to be tested of the three half-bridge circuits to the power supply 8. Thus, although the test operation is increased, the length of the bus bar 9 is shortened, and the parasitic inductance in the test device can be reduced.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. These embodiments can be implemented in other various forms, and various omissions, substitutions, changes, and combinations are made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and spirit of the present invention, and are also included in the invention described in the claims and the scope equivalent thereto.
