In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, before the detailed description, a description is first made of a power module and a frequency converter in the related art.
A Variable-frequency Drive (VFD) is a power control device that applies a frequency conversion technique and a microelectronics technique to control an ac motor by changing a frequency of a motor operating power supply. The medium-high voltage power unit is applied to the fields of electric power, metallurgy, water supply, petroleum, chemical industry, coal and the like, which need energy conservation and improvement of production process. In the 80 s of the 20 th century, frequency converter technology has been increasingly used as an energy saving technology in major industrialized countries. In China, the high-voltage frequency converter is applied to few industries such as electric power, metallurgy and the like from the later 90 th century, the speed regulation of the high-voltage frequency converter is currently becoming a main flow speed regulation mode of a high-voltage alternating current motor, the energy-saving effect of using a high-voltage frequency conversion system by new projects and technology improvement projects is obvious, and great progress is made in the aspects of power, reliability, efficiency, cost and the like.
With the increasing power of power electronics, the capacity of the frequency converter is increasing, and the design of a heat dissipation system becomes a key problem. The design quality of the heat dissipation system of the frequency converter directly influences whether the frequency converter can safely and stably work for a long time. The heating of the frequency converter is mostly from a power device, the power device is sensitive to temperature, and the change of the temperature can influence the switching of the device. If the capability of the heat dissipation system is insufficient as the power dissipated by the IGBT increases, the temperature of the chip may reach or even exceed the junction temperature, which may cause the IGBT to fail.
Among them, IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), i.e., an insulated gate bipolar transistor, is a compound semiconductor device composed of a MOSFET (insulated gate field effect transistor) and a BJT (bipolar transistor). The selection of power switching devices is particularly important as the core of the main circuit of the frequency converter. The IGBT has the advantages of high input impedance, high working speed, low on-state voltage, high current carrying capacity, easy driving and the like, so that the IGBT is widely applied and is an ideal full-control device. The turn-on and turn-off of the IGBT is controlled by the gate voltage. When a positive voltage is applied to the gate, a channel is formed in the MOSFET and provides a base current for the PNP transistor, thereby turning on the IGBT. At this time from N + Region implant into N - Hole (minority) pair N of region - The region is subjected to conductivity modulation, so that the resistance of the N region is reduced, and the IGBT with high blocking voltage also has low on-state voltage drop. When negative voltage is applied to the gate, the channel in the MOSFET disappears, the base current of the PNP transistor is cut off, and the IGBT is turned off.
The heat dissipation mode in the related art mostly adopts air cooling heat dissipation. With the continuous improvement of integration and power level of power modules, conventional air-cooled heat dissipation has faced a dilemma that a large amount of heat is not easily and rapidly dissipated in a short time in a limited space. And the fan that high-power device needs is relatively bulky, can lead to noise increase, dust increase, wind pressure increase, reduces the stability of system. Therefore, it has become increasingly difficult for conventional forced air cooling to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high power IGBT modules. The capacity of the air cooling frequency converter in the related art is generally smaller than 17MW, and the capacity working condition of the frequency converter with the capacity of more than 17MW is difficult to meet.
The inventor researches show that the water heat conductivity coefficient of the water-cooled radiator is far higher than that of wind due to the fact that the specific heat capacity of water is large, the volume and noise of the water-cooled radiator are relatively small. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a power module and a frequency converter capable of improving the heat dissipation effect by using a water cooling method.

The power module 100 further includes a heat exchanger 130 disposed on the frame 110, the heat exchanger 130 having a first side 131 and a second side 132 disposed opposite along the first direction x. The power module 120 includes a diode unit 121 and an IGBT unit 122, the diode unit 121 is disposed on a first side 131 of the heat exchanger 130, and the IGBT unit 122 is disposed on a second side 132 of the heat exchanger 130. Wherein the heat exchanger 130 is configured for heat exchanging the diode unit 121 and the IGBT unit 122 by means of a cooling liquid.
In the power module 100, the diode unit 121 and the IGBT unit 122 in the power module 120 are respectively disposed on the first side 131 and the second side 132 of the heat exchanger 130, so that the diode unit 121 and the IGBT unit 122 can be simultaneously heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 130, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the heat exchanger 130 performs heat exchange by means of the cooling liquid, and can further improve heat exchange efficiency and protection level with a smaller volume.
The IGBT unit 122 is combined as an inverter circuit, and the diode unit 121 is combined as a rectifier circuit. The rectification inversion electrical structure formed in this way not only optimizes the volume, improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also reduces the cost. In the embodiment of the present application, the power module 120 is composed of two IGBT cells 122 and three diode cells 121. Illustratively, the heat exchanger 130 is a water-cooled radiator.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, IGBT cells 122 are configured in a patch-type structure. The chip-type structure is a power semiconductor device structure in the form of a chip-type package. The IGBT cell 122 of the patch structure is disposed on the side surface of the heat exchanger 130 by means of a paste, and the IGBT cell 122 is in close contact with the side surface of the heat exchanger 130. As can be appreciated, the body of the IGBT cell 122 is kept in contact with the side surface of the heat exchanger 130, and there is no gap or distance between the body and the side surface of the heat exchanger 130, which greatly improves the heat exchange efficiency. Meanwhile, the device adopting the chip-on-package mode generally has a smaller volume, so that the volume of the power module 120 is further reduced. Illustratively, the IGBT cells 122 are secured to the second side 132 of the heat exchanger 130 by a bolt assembly.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the diode unit 121 is configured as a patch structure. The chip-type structure is a power semiconductor device structure in the form of a chip-type package. The diode unit 121 of the patch structure is disposed on the side surface of the heat exchanger 130 by means of a paste, and the diode unit 121 is in close contact with the side surface of the heat exchanger 130. As can be appreciated, the body of the diode unit 121 is kept in contact with the side surface of the heat exchanger 130, and there is no gap or distance from the side surface of the heat exchanger 130, thereby greatly improving heat exchange efficiency. Meanwhile, the device adopting the chip-on-package mode generally has a smaller volume, so that the volume of the power module 120 is further reduced. Illustratively, the diode unit 121 is secured to the first side 131 of the heat exchanger 130 by a bolt assembly.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of another view of the power module 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.
As shown in connection with fig. 1 and 3, in some embodiments, the power module 100 further includes a support capacitor 140. The frame 110 has a receiving space, and the supporting capacitor 140 is mounted on the frame 110 and located in the receiving space. In this way, the supporting capacitor 140 is fixed in the accommodating space on the frame 110, so that the installation is more stable, the space of the frame 110 can be reasonably utilized, the whole power module 100 is more compact, and the layout of components is more reasonable. In particular, in some embodiments, the supporting capacitor 140 has a body portion and a connection portion, and the connection portion is disposed on the body portion along the second direction z to be connected to the frame 110. The second direction z is perpendicular to the first direction x. In this way, the connecting portion provided in the main body portion along the second direction z can be more reliably fixed to the frame 110 without damaging the main body portion of the support capacitor 140. Specifically, the connecting portions include two connecting portions, which are disposed at both ends of the body portion at intervals from each other along the second direction z, respectively. In this way, the supporting capacitor 140 can be fixed by means of two connecting parts in the second direction z, so that the stability of the fixation is further ensured. Illustratively, the connection is secured to the frame 110 by means of a bolt assembly. Specifically, the plurality of connection parts are fixedly connected to the upper beam 111 and the lower beam of the frame 110, respectively.
As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the power module 100 further includes a capacitor busbar 150, and the capacitor busbar 150 is electrically connected to the supporting capacitor 140. Wherein, a plane perpendicular to the second direction z is defined as a reference plane, and the positive row and the negative row of the capacitor busbar 150 are symmetrically arranged with the reference plane as a center. The second direction z is perpendicular to the first direction x. It will be appreciated that the positive and negative rows of the capacitor busbar 150 are arranged in a positive-to-negative arrangement. In this way, the structural layout of the positive and negative rows of the capacitor busbar 150 is more compact and reasonable while the electrical safety distance is ensured, so that the volume of the power module 100 is further reduced. Specifically, the supporting capacitor 140 is provided with a binding post 141 in a protruding manner, and the positive and negative rows of the capacitor busbar 150 are respectively mounted on the binding post 141.
For the dynamic parameter test platform of the IGBT cell 122, the stray inductance of the commutation loop during the switching transient of the device, which is often referred to as the test platform stray inductance for short, is an important factor affecting the device parameters. The different stray inductances have an important influence on the on-off characteristics of the IGBT cells 122. Under the same working condition, the increase of the loop stray inductance can slow down the turn-on speed of the IGBT unit 122, the current collecting rising rate is reduced, the turn-on transient current peak is obviously reduced, and the non-uniformity is reduced. As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the power module 120 further includes a dc link bank 160, and the dc link bank 160 is electrically connected between the IGBT cell 122 and the capacitor busbar 150. Thus, by stacking the dc link banks 160 one above the other, the current flows in opposite directions, which ensures that the stray inductance meets the requirements, and the operating space is more suitable. Specifically, IGBT cell 122 is electrically connected to capacitor busbar 150 through a set of positive and negative dc connection rows 160. In some embodiments, the power module 120 further includes a dc link bar 160, and the dc link bar 160 is electrically connected between the diode unit 121 and the capacitor busbar 150. In this way, it can be further ensured that the stray inductance meets the requirements. Specifically, the diode unit 121 is electrically connected to the capacitor busbar 150 through a set of positive and negative dc connection rows 160.
It should be noted that the dc link bank 160 is used for connection conduction inside the power module 120. The power module 100 further includes ac connection banks and unit output banks 165, the ac connection banks and unit output banks 165 being for connection and conduction with external devices. Specifically, after the IGBT cell 122 and the diode cell 121 are mounted on the heat exchanger 130, the dc link line 160, the ac link line, and the cell output line 165 are mounted. Therefore, the current-carrying load can be met, the stray inductance is smaller, in addition, the insulation effect is more reliable, and the cost is relatively lower. Further, the power module 100 further includes an output copper bar 190, and the output copper bar 190 is connected to the unit output bar 165.
Referring again to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the power module 100 further includes a housing 170. The housing 170 is disposed outside the power module 120 along the first direction x, and is connected to the frame 110. In this way, the housing 170 can provide protection for the power module 120, and the power module 120 is accommodated in the space between the housing 170 and the frame 110, so that the power module 100 is modularized, the space is reasonably utilized, the volume is reduced, and the maintenance and the overhaul are easy. Further, a heat exchanger 130 is also accommodated between the housing 170 and the frame 110. In this way, the space in the housing 170 can be reasonably utilized while ensuring reliable heat dissipation of the IGBT unit 122 and the diode unit 121 by the heat exchanger 130, and the volume of the power module 100 can be further reduced.
The driving module 180 is an interface between the controller and the power device, and has the functions of providing isolation, reliable driving capability, protection and the like. The driving module 180 with excellent performance not only can enable the IGBT unit 122 to be rapidly switched between a cut-off area and a saturation area and improve the efficiency of the power electronic converter system, but also can enable the IGBT unit 122 to timely exit from a fault state when the IGBT unit 122 is in fault, so that the damage of the IGBT unit 122 is reduced, and the service life of the IGBT unit 122 is prolonged. As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the power module 100 further includes a driving module 180, the driving module 180 being configured to drive the IGBT cells 122 on and off. Specifically, the driving module 180 is mounted to the frame 110 by means of a bolt assembly. It should be noted that the modules and units in the power module 100 are turned on by means of copper bar connections.
Based on the same inventive concept, in another aspect of the present application, a frequency converter is further provided, including the power module 100 described above. The frequency converter mainly improves the flexibility of the alternating current motor power supply, namely the frequency and the amplitude of the frequency converter can be changed, the period of a moving magnetic field of the frequency converter can be changed accordingly, and further smooth control of the motor rotating speed is achieved. The frequency converter mainly comprises a rectifying circuit, an intermediate link circuit, an inverter circuit, a control circuit and a protection circuit. The IGBT unit 122 is a core component of the frequency converter, and is mainly used for inverting direct current into alternating current for load. According to the power module 100 provided by the embodiment of the application, the heat exchanger 130 is used for radiating the heat of the IGBT unit 122 and the diode unit 121, so that the heat radiation efficiency of the power module 100 is greatly improved, and the frequency converter using the power module 100 is improved in heat radiation efficiency, and the heat radiation requirement of the frequency converter is met.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in the power module 100 and the frequency converter provided in the embodiments of the present application, the diode unit 121 and the IGBT unit 122 in the power module 120 are respectively disposed on the first side 131 and the second side 132 of the heat exchanger 130, so that the heat exchange can be performed on the diode unit 121 and the IGBT unit 122 by means of the heat exchanger 130 at the same time, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency, having higher power density, and reasonable circuit distribution. Furthermore, the heat exchanger 130 performs heat exchange by means of the cooling liquid, and can further improve heat exchange efficiency and protection level with a smaller volume. The IGBT unit 122 is combined as an inverter circuit, and the diode unit 121 is combined as a rectifier circuit. The rectification inversion electrical structure formed in this way not only optimizes the volume, improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also reduces the cost.
The IGBT cells 122 and diode cells 121 of the patch structure are held in contact with the side surfaces of the heat exchanger 130 without gaps and distances from the side surfaces of the heat exchanger 130, thereby greatly improving heat exchange efficiency. Meanwhile, the device adopting the chip-on-package mode generally has a smaller volume, so that the volume of the power module 120 is further reduced. The connection portion of the supporting capacitor 140 can be more reliably fixed to the frame 110, and the body portion of the supporting capacitor 140 is not damaged. The positive row and the negative row of the capacitor busbar 150 are arranged in a positive-to-negative way, so that the structural layout of the positive row and the negative row of the capacitor busbar 150 is more compact and reasonable while the electric safety distance is ensured, and the size of the power module 100 is further reduced. The IGBT unit 122 is electrically connected to the capacitor busbar 150 by a set of positive and negative dc connection lines 160, and the diode unit 121 is electrically connected to the capacitor busbar 150 by another set of positive and negative dc connection lines 160, and the current flows in opposite directions, so that the stray inductance can be ensured to meet the requirement, and the operation space is more suitable. The housing 170 covering the power module 120 along the first direction x can provide protection for the power module 120.
Through the space between the shell 170 and the frame 110 and the accommodating space of the frame 110, the power module 120, the heat exchanger 130 and other module devices can be installed in a planning layout, so that the power module 100 is modularized, and the power module can be independently installed, detached and maintained. The frequency converter using the power module 100 has improved heat dissipation efficiency, and meets the heat dissipation requirement of the frequency converter.
