Graphic 1: the scheme of installation of sub-assembly of the present invention.
Graphic 2: the enlarged drawing of geometrical clamp.
Graphic 3: show in a schematic way as graphic 1 in the order of the 3rd installation steps.
Embodiment
The other numeral 1,2,3 of arrow is represented the the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd installation steps of sub-assembly of the present invention respectively in graphic 1.These installation steps back again describe in detail one by one.
At first (the 1st installation steps) by join domain 10a, are fixed on a geometrical clamp 10 on the front 12 of shell 14 of power semiconductor.
Enlarged drawing from graphic 2 as can be seen, the join domain 10a of geometrical clamp 10 can be that a rubber-like terminal by geometrical clamp 10 is constituted.This rubber-like terminal can apply a pressure F1 to the front 12 of shell 14 when contacting with the outer casing frontispiece 12 shown in graphic 1.Shown in graphic 2, the another one rubber-like terminal of geometrical clamp 10 is as anchor region 10b, and its shape is essentially U-shaped.A barb 10c is arranged on the inner side edge of U-shaped anchor region 10.
Shell 14 coated members (not presenting in detail), especially power semiconductor, these members are arranged on the ceramic base material and are the part of power semiconductor modular 15.These members form electricity by the interconnection (not shown) and connect, and are connected with the welding ends 16 of outside.Plate fully with layer of copper base material bottom surface 20, thereby and as heat radiation contact-making surface 22.
There is a locking hook 12a in the front 12 of shell 14.Under pre-installment state, just after shell 14 and geometrical clamp 10 formed mechanical connection, this locking hook 12a can fix the join domain 10a of geometrical clamp 10 automatically.
For purpose of the present invention, so-called fixedly being meant automatically for ensuing installation steps can be carried out smoothly, two parts with can be each other enough firmly and the mode that can not separate link together.But not getting rid of, this can not allow follow-up calibration and/or relative motion and mobile loosely connected mode.
In following step (step 2), for example, printed circuit board (PCB) is connected with power semiconductor modular 15 by being welded to connect with welding ends 16, thereby and form a unit with power semiconductor modular, this unit is used to produce the sub-assembly following step.Other element also can be placed and be combined on the printed circuit board (PCB) 30.Printed circuit board (PCB) 30 has boring or opening 30a, will be illustrated after a while about this part.The shape of geometrical clamp 10 and size preferably can allow geometrical clamp 10 with the plane that can not protrude in heat radiation contact-making surface 22 places after power semiconductor modular is connected outside.Can guarantee like this that before carrying out next installation steps the heat radiation contact-making surface can be stamped or be coated with the last layer heat-conducting cream in very simple mode where necessary automatically.
The 3rd installation steps are that the heat radiation contact-making surface 22 of the unit that this is common is pressed on the contact-making surface 40a of the correspondence on the cooling package 40 after printed circuit board (PCB) 30 and power semiconductor modular 15 are connected into a common unit.This cooling package 40 is constituted through the cooler that forms of extruding by one, on it and have a suitable opening, boring or a groove 40b.The aluminum foundry goods that has boring also can be used as cooling package.(also available a slice sheet metal is as cooling package under the simplest situation).
Graphic 3 show the order of the 3rd installation steps.Graphic 3 left-half shows that the heat radiation contact-making surface 220 of power semiconductor 15 has been placed on the cooling package 40.This moment anchor region 10b be positioned at boring 40b directly over mode aim at.Geometrical clamp 10 is owing to anchor region 10b can strain upward deflect.
Graphic 3 right half part shows the situation after the sub-assembly installation.By being preferably columned opening 30a in the printed circuit board (PCB) 30, the anchor region 10b of geometrical clamp 10 is imposed a directed force F with an instrument of in graphic, not drawing (for example probe that has the groove that can match with the thickness of geometrical clamp together).Thereby make this zone that strain take place and self push the most at last and pass boring 40b.So this boring 40b has just constituted anchor region 10b shown in graphic 2 or the bearing 50 of barb 10c.
Like this, just can prevent anchor region 10b because barb 10c skids off from boring 40b in the locking (stop) of opening lower edge.Under this state, heat radiation contact-making surface 22 will see that graphic 2 are pressed on the front of cooling package 40 because of the pressure F1 that is acted on the front 12 of power semiconductor modular 15 by join domain 10a, and a reliable conductive force is provided.
The feature of sub-assembly of the present invention is power semiconductor modular to be fixed/to be connected on the cooling package in reliable mode with simple, low cost method as from the foregoing.A kind of particularly advantageous mode is, it is fixing and be connected only need to use a single geometrical clamp can finish this kind.For can earlier power semiconductor modular being connected with printed circuit board (PCB) in the case of necessary, under the situation that can not cause the complex installation program, be connected with cooling package more then.
Before fitting printed circuit board and cooling package, preferably earlier geometrical clamp and power semiconductor modular are installed (making the two form a common unit) earlier in the mode of pre-installation, and then handle this common unit together.
