Description

The present application relates to a power converter.

Due to environmental regulations and technological progress surrounding automobiles in recent years, electric automobiles or hybrid automobiles have been developed and become widespread in various vehicle classes. 2. Description of the Related Art An electric vehicle that uses a motor as a drive source, such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, is equipped with a plurality of power converters. A power converter is a device that converts an input current from DC to AC, AC to DC, or an input voltage to a different voltage. As a power converter installed in an electric vehicle, specifically, a charger that converts commercial AC power into DC power and charges the high-voltage battery, and a charger that converts the DC power of the high-voltage battery into DC power of a different voltage. Examples include a DC/DC converter, an inverter that converts DC power from a high-voltage battery into AC power for a motor, and the like.

In power converters mounted on automobiles, a plurality of specifications, for example, different input and output powers, are required because the battery voltage and the like differ depending on the vehicle class or vehicle type. If the specifications such as input/output power are different, the current flowing through the board, the semiconductor element, the bus bar, the coil, etc. of the power converter differs according to the specifications, so it is necessary to design the parts according to the specifications. Taking a semiconductor element as an example, in order to keep the temperature of the semiconductor element below the rated temperature, it is necessary to use a low-loss element with low resistance or connect multiple elements in parallel in order to keep the temperature of the semiconductor element below the rated temperature. is required.

As an example of a configuration in which a plurality of semiconductor elements are connected in parallel, a configuration in which a plurality of semiconductor elements are arranged side by side in the in-plane direction of a base material of a substrate or module on which the semiconductor elements are mounted and connected in parallel is known. However, when a plurality of semiconductor elements are arranged side by side in the in-plane direction of the base material of the substrate or module, there is a problem that the floor area of the power converter increases. In order to solve this problem, a configuration is disclosed in which two power semiconductor modules each having a separate member with a different terminal length are stacked and connected in parallel by connecting the respective terminals. (See Patent Document 1, for example).

In the present embodiment, semiconductor package components 2a and 2b, which are horizontally arranged in a single number, are arranged at positions overlapping each other when viewed in the normal direction of the surface of the base member set 3 portion.

By configuring in this way, the semiconductor package components 2a and 2b are arranged at positions at least partially overlapping each other when viewed in the normal direction of the surface of the portion of the base member set 3, so that the power conversion device 100 can suppress the increase in floor space. Since an increase in the floor area of the power conversion device 100 is suppressed, the power conversion device 100 can be downsized and the weight of the power conversion device 100 can be reduced.

When multiple base member sets 3 are provided, the multiple base member sets 3 are arranged in the normal direction. In this embodiment, the two base member sets 3 are arranged such that the portions of the first base member 3a to which the first electrode terminals 11a are connected are brought into contact with each other, and the second electrode terminals 11a of the second base member 3b are brought into contact with each other.

Further, since the first base member 3a and the second base member 3b are formed in a plate shape, a plurality of the first base members 3a and the second base members 3b can be easily stacked and connected. Since there is no need to separately provide connecting parts for connecting between the two base member sets 3, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost of the power converter 100 can be reduced. In addition, since the first base member 3a and the second base member 3b of the two base member sets 3 are in contact with each other, the size of the power converter 100 can be reduced in the direction normal to the surface of the base member set 3. can do.

In addition, since the first module 1a and the second module 1b are configured by connecting the single, general-purpose semiconductor package parts 2a and 2b to the base member set 3, custom-specified semiconductor package parts with complicated and expensive manufacturing processes are arranged in parallel. Since there is no need to individually fabricate the power conversion device 100 for connection, the cost of the power conversion device 100 can be reduced. In addition, since the second module 1b can be connected in parallel at the location where the first module 1a and the first bus bar 5a or the housing 6 are connected, no additional member or additional process for parallel connection is required, and the number of parts is increased. is reduced and the manufacturing process is also reduced, so the cost of the power conversion device 100 can be reduced.

It does not have to be connected as long as it is thermally connected. Therefore, in order to improve heat dissipation, a heat dissipating member such as silicone grease or a silicone sheet may be provided at the connecting portion that needs only to be thermally connected. It is sufficient that the portions of the second base members 3b in contact with each other other than the portion around the second fixing member 7b to which the second base members 3b are connected are also thermally connected.
