Description

ダイオードの取付構造Diode mounting structure
 本発明は、ダイオードの取付構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a diode mounting structure.
 特許文献1には、太陽電池モジュールに取り付けられる端子ボックスが開示されている。端子ボックスのボックス本体内には複数の端子板が収容され、各端子板が逆流防止用のダイオードを介して相互に接続されている。ダイオードは、発熱部を有するブロック状の本体部と、本体部から延びるピン状の一対のリード部とを有している。本体部は、隣接する端子板のうちの一方の端子板にねじ締めして固定されている。また、両リード部のうちの片方は一方の端子板に半田付けにより接続され、もう片方は他方の端子板に半田付けにより接続されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a terminal box attached to a solar cell module. A plurality of terminal plates are accommodated in the box body of the terminal box, and each terminal plate is connected to each other via a diode for preventing backflow. The diode has a block-shaped main body portion having a heat generating portion and a pair of pin-shaped lead portions extending from the main body portion. The main body is fixed by screwing to one of the adjacent terminal boards. One of the lead portions is connected to one terminal board by soldering, and the other is connected to the other terminal board by soldering.

 上記従来のダイオードの取付構造では、ねじ締め工程と半田付け工程とを別々に行わねばならず、作業負担が大きいという問題がある。これに鑑み、本体部の固定作業も半田で行えば、ダイオード全体の取り付けが半田付け工程に統合されて、作業負担が軽減される。またこの場合に、リフロー半田によれば、実装工程が自動化され、さらなる作業性の改善を図ることが可能となる。しかし、例えば、リフロー半田を行う際に、ダイオードの本体部が一方の端子板の表面における所定位置に留まらずに位置ずれするおそれがある。 The conventional diode mounting structure has a problem that the screw tightening process and the soldering process must be performed separately, and the work load is large. In view of this, if the fixing operation of the main body is also performed with solder, the mounting of the entire diode is integrated into the soldering process, and the work burden is reduced. In this case, according to the reflow soldering, the mounting process is automated, and it becomes possible to further improve the workability. However, for example, when performing reflow soldering, there is a possibility that the main body of the diode may be displaced without staying at a predetermined position on the surface of one terminal board.
 本発明は上記のような事情に基づいて完成されたものであって、ダイオードの位置ずれを防止することを目的とする。 The present invention has been completed based on the above situation, and an object thereof is to prevent the displacement of the diode.
 本発明のダイオードの取付構造は、ダイオードの周りを取り囲むことにより、前記ダイオードを位置決めし、かつ内部に半田が供給される位置決め部を有する放熱板を備えたところに特徴を有する。 The diode mounting structure of the present invention is characterized in that it includes a heat radiating plate having a positioning portion for positioning the diode by surrounding the diode and supplying solder therein.
 放熱板の位置決め部にダイオードを載せると、ダイオードの周りが位置決め部によって取り囲まれて、ダイオードが位置決めされるため、半田付け工程等でダイオードが位置ずれするのが防止される。 When a diode is placed on the positioning part of the heat sink, the diode is surrounded by the positioning part and the diode is positioned, so that the diode is prevented from being displaced in the soldering process or the like.

 前記位置決め部が前記ダイオードの底部の外周と対向する囲い壁を有し、前記半田が前記底部の外周及び前記囲い壁に付着している。これにより、良好な半田フィレットが形成され、半田接続強度が向上する。
 前記底部の外周と前記囲い壁との間に形成される半田フィレットの斜面が、前記ダイオードの底面の高さよりも高位に位置している。これにより、充分な半田高さが確保され、半田接続強度がより高められる。

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are as follows.
The positioning part has an enclosure wall facing the outer periphery of the bottom part of the diode, and the solder adheres to the outer periphery of the bottom part and the enclosure wall. Thereby, a good solder fillet is formed, and the solder connection strength is improved.
The slope of the solder fillet formed between the outer periphery of the bottom and the surrounding wall is positioned higher than the height of the bottom surface of the diode. Thereby, a sufficient solder height is ensured, and the solder connection strength is further increased.
The surrounding wall is a vertical surface substantially along the vertical direction. As a result, the solder easily rises along the enclosure wall, and a good solder fillet is formed.
The positioning portion is recessed along the bottom of the diode on the surface of the heat sink. Thereby, a positioning part can be shape | molded easily.
The diode includes a main body portion having a heat generating portion and a lead portion extending from the main body portion, and the heat sink is constituted by at least two terminal plates connected to each other via the diode, and the two terminal plates Of these, one terminal board is provided with the positioning part for positioning the main body part, and the other terminal board is provided with another positioning part for positioning the tip of the lead part. Since the positioning portion positions the main body portion on one terminal plate and the other positioning portion positions the lead portion on the other terminal plate, the displacement of the diode is reliably prevented.
The positioning part surrounds the outer periphery of the bottom part of the main body part over the entire circumference. This reliably prevents the diode from being displaced along the surface of the main body.
The other positioning portion surrounds the outer periphery of the tip portion of the lead portion except for the side facing the main body portion. As a result, the positional deviation of the leads can be reliably prevented.
The bottom wall of the positioning portion of the heat radiating plate is formed with a gas vent hole through which the gas generated inside the solder in a molten state passes. Since the gas generated inside the solder escapes to the outside through the vent hole, voids are hardly generated and the reliability of soldering is improved.

Both lead portions 32 are connected and fixed in the second positioning portion 16.
 次に、実施例1に係るダイオード30の取付構造の作用を説明する。
 各端子板10には、ダイオード30が支持され、第1位置決め部15内には、ダイオード30の本体部31の底部34が位置決め状態で収容され、かつ、第2位置決め部16内にはダイオード30の両リード部32が位置決め状態で収容される。これにより、本体部31の底部34の外周が第1位置決め部15の囲い壁19に全周に亘って取り囲まれ、かつ、両リード部32の先端部35の外周が第1位置決め部15側を除いて第2位置決め部16の内側面23に取り囲まれる。また、各端子板10にダイオード30が支持されるに先立ち、第1位置決め部15の底壁18及び第2位置決め部16の内底面22には、予めペースト半田40が塗布される。
Next, the operation of the diode 30 mounting structure according to the first embodiment will be described.
Each terminal board 10 supports a diode 30, the first positioning portion 15 accommodates the bottom 34 of the body portion 31 of the diode 30 in a positioned state, and the second positioning portion 16 includes the diode 30. Both lead portions 32 are accommodated in a positioned state. As a result, the outer periphery of the bottom 34 of the main body 31 is surrounded by the surrounding wall 19 of the first positioning portion 15 over the entire periphery, and the outer periphery of the distal end portion 35 of both lead portions 32 faces the first positioning portion 15 side. Except for this, it is surrounded by the inner surface 23 of the second positioning portion 16. Prior to the support of the diode 30 on each terminal board 10, paste solder 40 is applied in advance to the bottom wall 18 of the first positioning portion 15 and the inner bottom surface 22 of the second positioning portion 16.
 次いで、図示しないリフロー炉に上記の各端子板10を通し、ペースト半田40を融解させる。リフロー炉に各端子板10を通す際には、第1、第2位置決め部15、16によって各ダイオード30の位置ずれが阻止される。また、ペースト半田40が融解されると、図2に示すように、第1位置決め部15では、囲い壁19及び本体部31の底部34の外周に沿って半田40が上がり、囲い壁19と本体部31の底部34の外周との間に充分な半田40が確保される。その結果、囲い壁19と本体部31の底部34の外周との間に良好な半田フィレットが形成される。この場合、半田フィレットの斜面(裾部分)は、ダイオード30の底面の高さよりの高位に位置している。同様に、第2位置決め部16内でも、内側面23及び両リード部32の先端部35の外周に沿って半田40が上がり、内側面23と両リード部32の先端部35の外周との間に充分な半田40が確保され、良好な半田フィレットが形成される。 Next, each terminal plate 10 is passed through a reflow furnace (not shown), and the paste solder 40 is melted. When each terminal plate 10 is passed through the reflow furnace, the first and second positioning portions 15 and 16 prevent the position of each diode 30 from being displaced. When the paste solder 40 is melted, as shown in FIG. 2, in the first positioning portion 15, the solder 40 rises along the outer periphery of the enclosure wall 19 and the bottom 34 of the main body 31, and the enclosure wall 19 and the main body Sufficient solder 40 is ensured between the outer periphery of the bottom 34 of the part 31. As a result, a good solder fillet is formed between the enclosure wall 19 and the outer periphery of the bottom 34 of the main body 31. In this case, the slope (hem portion) of the solder fillet is positioned higher than the height of the bottom surface of the diode 30. Similarly, in the second positioning portion 16, the solder 40 rises along the outer periphery of the inner side surface 23 and the distal end portion 35 of both lead portions 32, and between the inner side surface 23 and the outer periphery of the distal end portion 35 of both lead portions 32. Sufficient solder 40 is ensured and a good solder fillet is formed.
 一方、仮に、各端子板10に第1、第2位置決め部15、16が形成されていないと、図7の参考例で示すように、ダイオード30の周りを取り囲むものがないため、半田上がりが悪く、各端子板10に対するダイオード30の半田付け強度を確保できないおそれがある。その点、実施例1のように、ダイオード30の周りが第1、第2位置決め部15、16によって取り囲まれていれば、半田上がりが改善され、ダイオード30の半田付け強度が高められる。 On the other hand, if the first and second positioning portions 15 and 16 are not formed on each terminal board 10, there is nothing surrounding the diode 30 as shown in the reference example of FIG. Unfortunately, the soldering strength of the diode 30 to each terminal board 10 may not be ensured. In this respect, if the periphery of the diode 30 is surrounded by the first and second positioning portions 15 and 16 as in the first embodiment, the solder rise is improved and the soldering strength of the diode 30 is increased.
 なお、実施例1の場合、各端子板10はボックス本体61の基壁62に載置固定され、両ケーブル接続端子10Aのバレル部11には両ケーブル80の芯線部82が圧着接続される。そして、ボックス本体61は、太陽電池モジュールの裏面に載せられ、それに伴い開口部64を通してインターコネクタが引き込まれ、各端子板10の前端部にインターコネクタの先端部が半田接続される。また、ボックス本体61は太陽電池モジュールの裏面に接着材等の周知の固定手段を介して固定される。 In the case of the first embodiment, each terminal plate 10 is placed and fixed on the base wall 62 of the box body 61, and the core portions 82 of both cables 80 are crimped and connected to the barrel portions 11 of both cable connection terminals 10A. The box body 61 is placed on the back surface of the solar cell module, and the interconnector is drawn through the opening 64 along with the box body 61, and the front end of each terminal board 10 is soldered to the front end of the interconnector. The box body 61 is fixed to the back surface of the solar cell module through a known fixing means such as an adhesive.
 以上説明したように、実施例1によれば、端子板10の第1位置決め部15にダイオード30の本体部31を載せると、本体部31の周りが第1位置決め部15によって取り囲まれて、ダイオード30が位置決めされるため、半田付け工程でダイオード30が位置ずれするのが防止される。この場合に、第1位置決め部15が本体部31の底部34の外周と対向する囲い壁19を有し、半田40が本体部31の底部34の外周及び囲い壁19に付着するため、良好な半田フィレットが形成され、半田接続強度が向上する。しかも、第1位置決め部15が本体部31の底部34の外周を全周に亘って取り囲む形態とされているため、ダイオード30が本体部31の表面に沿って位置ずれするのが確実に防止される。 As described above, according to the first embodiment, when the body portion 31 of the diode 30 is placed on the first positioning portion 15 of the terminal board 10, the periphery of the body portion 31 is surrounded by the first positioning portion 15. Since 30 is positioned, it is possible to prevent the diode 30 from being displaced in the soldering process. In this case, the first positioning portion 15 has the surrounding wall 19 facing the outer periphery of the bottom portion 34 of the main body portion 31, and the solder 40 adheres to the outer periphery of the bottom portion 34 of the main body portion 31 and the surrounding wall 19. A solder fillet is formed, and the solder connection strength is improved. In addition, since the first positioning portion 15 surrounds the outer periphery of the bottom portion 34 of the main body portion 31 over the entire circumference, the diode 30 is reliably prevented from being displaced along the surface of the main body portion 31. The
 また、第1位置決め部15が端子板10の表面において本体部31の底部34を嵌め込み可能な凹状の形態をなしているため、プレス加工で第1位置決め部15を容易に成形することができる。 In addition, since the first positioning portion 15 has a concave shape in which the bottom portion 34 of the main body 31 can be fitted on the surface of the terminal board 10, the first positioning portion 15 can be easily formed by press working.
 また、第1位置決め部15が第1端子板13において本体部31を位置決めし、第2位置決め部16が第2端子板14において両リード部32を位置決めするため、ダイオード30の位置ずれがより確実に防止される。 Further, since the first positioning portion 15 positions the main body portion 31 in the first terminal plate 13 and the second positioning portion 16 positions both lead portions 32 in the second terminal plate 14, the displacement of the diode 30 is more reliable. To be prevented.
 <実施例2>
 図6は、本発明の実施例2をあらわす。実施例2では、第1位置決め部15Aの底壁18Aの内部形状が実施例1とは異なる。その他は、実施例1と同様であり、重複する説明は省略する。

FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the internal shape of the bottom wall 18A of the first positioning portion 15A is different from the first embodiment. Others are the same as those of the first embodiment, and a duplicate description is omitted.
 第1位置決め部15Aの底壁18Aには、ガス抜き孔27が形成されている。ガス抜き孔27は、底壁18において前後方向にスリット状に細長く延びて、第1端子板13を板厚方向に貫通する形態とされている。 A gas vent hole 27 is formed in the bottom wall 18A of the first positioning portion 15A. The gas vent hole 27 is elongated in a slit shape in the front-rear direction on the bottom wall 18 and penetrates the first terminal board 13 in the plate thickness direction.
 実施例2によれば、リフロー過程で溶融状態の半田40内に発生したガスがガス抜き孔27を通して外部に抜けるため、ボイドが発生し難く、半田付けの信頼性が向上する。 According to the second embodiment, since the gas generated in the molten solder 40 during the reflow process escapes to the outside through the gas vent hole 27, voids are hardly generated and the reliability of soldering is improved.
