Description

冷却構造体及び電力変換装置Cooling structure and power conversion device
　本発明は、発熱体の熱を冷却する冷却構造体と、電力変換用の半導体スイッチング素子を内蔵したモジュール上に、所定間隔を保って上記半導体スイッチング素子を駆動する発熱回路部品を含む回路部品を実装した実装基板を支持するようにした電力変換装置に関する。 The present invention provides a circuit component including a heat generating circuit component that drives a semiconductor switching element at a predetermined interval on a cooling structure that cools heat of the heating element and a module that incorporates a semiconductor switching element for power conversion. The present invention relates to a power conversion device that supports a mounted substrate.
　この種の電力変換装置としては、特許文献１に記載された電力変換装置が知られている。
　この電力変換装置は、筐体内に、冷却液が通過する水冷ジャケットを配置し、この水冷ジャケット上に電力変換用の半導体スイッチング素子としてのＩＧＢＴを内蔵したパワーモジュールを接合して冷却するようにしている。
　また、筐体内には、パワーモジュールの水冷ジャケットとは反対側に所定距離を保って制御回路基板を配置し、この制御回路基板で発生する熱を、放熱部材を介して制御回路基板を支持する金属ベース板に伝達し、さらに金属ベース板に伝達された熱を、この金属ベース板を支持する筐体の側壁を介して水冷ジャケットに伝達するようにしている。 As this type of power conversion device, a power conversion device described in Patent Document 1 is known.
In this power conversion device, a water cooling jacket through which a coolant passes is arranged in a casing, and a power module including an IGBT as a semiconductor switching element for power conversion is joined and cooled on the water cooling jacket. Yes.
In addition, a control circuit board is disposed in the housing at a predetermined distance on the side opposite to the water cooling jacket of the power module, and heat generated by the control circuit board is supported through the heat dissipation member. The heat transmitted to the metal base plate and further transferred to the metal base plate is transmitted to the water cooling jacket through the side wall of the casing that supports the metal base plate.
　上記特許文献１に記載された従来例にあっては、制御回路基板で発生する熱を、制御回路基板→放熱部材→金属ベース板→筐体→水冷ジャケットという経路で放熱するようにしている。このため、筐体が伝熱経路の一部として利用されることにより、筐体にも良好な伝熱性が要求されることになり、材料が熱伝導率の高い金属に限定され、小型軽量化の要求される電力変換装置おいて、樹脂等の軽量な材料の選択が不可能となり軽量化が困難となるおそれがある。 In the conventional example described in Patent Document 1, heat generated in the control circuit board is radiated through a path of the control circuit board → the heat radiation member → the metal base plate → the housing → the water cooling jacket. For this reason, when the casing is used as a part of the heat transfer path, the casing is also required to have good heat transfer properties, and the material is limited to a metal with high thermal conductivity, which is reduced in size and weight. In a power conversion device that is required, it is difficult to select a lightweight material such as a resin and it may be difficult to reduce the weight.
　そこで、制御回路基板などの発熱体で発生する熱を、筐体を介在させず、金属ベース板の端部をパワーモジュール及び水冷ジャケットの間で挟持することで、発熱体の熱を効率よく水冷ジャケットに放熱する構造が考えられる。
　その際、パワーモジュール及び水冷ジャケットの接合面の外周側には、金属ベースの端部の位置決めを兼ねてベース端部を収納するためにベース端部収納部を形成する。 Therefore, the heat generated by the heating element such as the control circuit board is efficiently cooled by water by sandwiching the end of the metal base plate between the power module and the water cooling jacket without interposing the housing. A structure for radiating heat to the jacket is conceivable.
At this time, a base end storage portion is formed on the outer peripheral side of the joint surface of the power module and the water cooling jacket to store the base end portion while also positioning the end portion of the metal base.

　ところで、パワーモジュール及び水冷ジャケットの両者の接合面にベース端部収納部を形成するのは、加工コストの面で問題がある。また、水冷ジャケットの接合面にベース端部収納部を形成するのは、大型重量物である水冷ジャケットを加工機械に組付けた加工時の取り扱いが困難であり、加工コストが増大するおそれがある。
　一方、組み立て前の電力変換装置は、パワーモジュールに制御回路基板、放熱部材及び金属ベース板を組み付けたパワーモジュールユニットと、水冷ジャケットとを分離して組立工場等に輸送されるが、パワーモジュールユニットの金属ベースの端部をフリーの状態で輸送すると、輸送時の振動で金属ベース板が大きく揺動して変形するおそれがある。 By the way, it is problematic in terms of processing cost to form the base end accommodating portion on the joint surface between the power module and the water cooling jacket. In addition, forming the base end storage portion on the joint surface of the water-cooled jacket is difficult to handle when the water-cooled jacket, which is a large heavy object, is assembled to a processing machine, and may increase the processing cost. .
On the other hand, the power converter before assembly is transported to an assembly plant or the like by separating a power module unit in which a control circuit board, a heat radiating member and a metal base plate are assembled into a power module, and a water cooling jacket.

　この一態様に係る冷却構造体によると、大型重量物である冷却体と比較して第１の発熱体は、加工機械に組付けても加工時の取り扱いが容易なので、加工コストの低減化を図ることができる。そして、第１及び第２の発熱体と伝熱板とをユニット化し、冷却体とは分離して輸送しても、ユニット化された第１の発熱体は収納部で伝熱板を収納しているので、外力による伝熱板の変形が防止される。 In order to achieve the above object, a cooling structure according to an aspect of the present invention includes a first heating element, a cooling body joined to the first heating element, a second heating element, and the first heating element.

The insulating sheet 43 is stuck to the lower surface of the heat transfer support plate portion 33a in order to shorten the insulation distance. Note that these stacked components are referred to as a power supply circuit unit U3.
　この際、電源回路基板２３の下面側に実装された発熱回路部品３９が伝熱部材３７の弾性によって伝熱部材３７内に埋め込まれる。このため、発熱回路部品３９と伝熱部材３７との接触が過不足なく行われるとともに、伝熱部材３７と電源回路基板２３及び伝熱支持板部３３ａとの接触が良好に行われ、伝熱部材３７と電源回路基板２３及び伝熱支持板部３３ａとの間の熱抵抗を減少させることができる。 At this time, the heat generating circuit component 39 mounted on the lower surface side of the power circuit board 23 is embedded in the heat transfer member 37 by the elasticity of the heat transfer member 37. For this reason, the contact between the heat generating circuit component 39 and the heat transfer member 37 is performed without excess or deficiency, and the contact between the heat transfer member 37 and the power supply circuit board 23 and the heat transfer support plate portion 33a is performed satisfactorily. The thermal resistance between the member 37 and the power supply circuit board 23 and the heat transfer support plate portion 33a can be reduced.
　また、図示しないが、制御回路基板２２の下面側にも発熱回路部品が実装されており、制御回路基板２２、伝熱部材３５及び伝熱支持板部３２ａが、固定ねじ３６により積層状態で固定されており、伝熱支持板部３２ａの下面には、絶縁距離を短くするために絶縁シート４２が貼着されている。なお、これらの積層状態の部品を制御回路ユニットＵ２と称する。 Although not shown, a heat generating circuit component is also mounted on the lower surface side of the control circuit board 22, and the control circuit board 22, the heat transfer member 35, and the heat transfer support plate portion 32 a are fixed in a stacked state by a fixing screw 36. An insulating sheet 42 is attached to the lower surface of the heat transfer support plate portion 32a in order to shorten the insulation distance. Note that these stacked components are referred to as a control circuit unit U2.
　そして、制御回路基板２２の下面側に実装された発熱回路部品が伝熱部材３５の弾性によって伝熱部材３５内に埋め込まれ、制御回路基板２２と伝熱部材３５との接触が過不足なく行われるとともに、伝熱部材３５と制御回路基板２２及び伝熱支持板部３２ａとの接触が良好に行われ、伝熱部材３５と制御回路基板２２及び伝熱支持板部３２ａとの間の熱抵抗を減少させることができる。 Then, the heat generating circuit component mounted on the lower surface side of the control circuit board 22 is embedded in the heat transfer member 35 by the elasticity of the heat transfer member 35, so that the contact between the control circuit board 22 and the heat transfer member 35 is performed without excess or deficiency. In addition, the heat transfer member 35 and the control circuit board 22 and the heat transfer support plate part 32a are satisfactorily contacted, and the heat resistance between the heat transfer member 35, the control circuit board 22 and the heat transfer support plate part 32a is improved. Can be reduced.
　また、伝熱支持用金属板の伝熱支持側板部３３ｂには、図４に示すように、パワーモジュール１１の図１に示す３相交流出力端子１１ｂに対応する位置に後述するブスバー５５を挿通する例えば方形の３つの挿通孔３３ｉが形成されている。このように、３つの挿通孔３３ｉを形成することにより、隣接する挿通孔３３ｉ間に比較的幅広の伝熱路Ｌｈを形成することができ、全体の伝熱路の断面積を増加させて効率よく伝熱することができる。また、振動に対する剛性も確保することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a bus bar 55 described later is inserted into the heat transfer support side plate portion 33b of the heat transfer support metal plate at a position corresponding to the three-phase AC output terminal 11b shown in FIG. For example, three rectangular insertion holes 33i are formed. Thus, by forming the three insertion holes 33i, a relatively wide heat transfer path Lh can be formed between the adjacent insertion holes 33i, and the cross-sectional area of the entire heat transfer path is increased to improve efficiency. Can conduct heat well. Also, rigidity against vibration can be ensured.

　また、伝熱支持用金属板３２の冷却体接触板部３２ｃ及び伝熱支持用金属板３３の冷却体接触板部３３ｃには、図２に示すように、パワーモジュール１１の固定ねじ１４を挿通する挿通孔１５に対向する位置に固定部材挿通孔３２ｃ１，３３ｃ１が形成されている。 Similarly, in the heat transfer support side plate portion 32b of the heat transfer support metal plate 32, similar insertion holes 32i are formed at positions facing the positive electrode and the negative electrode terminal 11a of the power module 11, respectively. By forming the insertion hole 32i, the same effect as that of the insertion hole 33i described above can be obtained.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the fixing screw 14 of the power module 11 is inserted into the cooling body contact plate portion 32c of the heat transfer support metal plate 32 and the cooling body contact plate portion 33c of the heat transfer support metal plate 33.

　そして、図２に示すように、伝熱支持用金属板３２の冷却体接触板部３２ｃ及び伝熱支持用金属板３３の冷却体接触板部３３ｃは、前述した放熱部材１３の左側及び右側の下面外周に形成した段差部１８に収納されている。
　段差部１８に収納された冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃは、その下面３２ｃ２，３３ｃ２が、Ｏリング７が接触する放熱部材１３の接合面としての下面１３ａに対して面一とされている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the cooling body contact plate portion 32 c of the heat transfer support metal plate 32 and the cooling body contact plate portion 33 c of the heat transfer support metal plate 33 are provided on the left side and the right side of the heat dissipation member 13 described above. It is housed in a step 18 formed on the outer periphery of the lower surface.
The cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c housed in the stepped portion 18 have their lower surfaces 32c2 and 33c2 flush with the lower surface 13a as the joining surface of the heat dissipation member 13 with which the O-ring 7 contacts.
　また、図３に示すように、冷却体接触板部３３ｃの先端部は、段差部１８の最も内周側の立上がり壁１８ａに当接している。なお、冷却体接触板部３２ｃの先端部も、段差部１８の最も内周側の立上がり壁１８ａに当接している。
　そして、放熱部材１３の挿通孔１５及び冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃの固定部材挿通孔３２ｃ１，３３ｃ１に固定ねじ１４を挿通し、固定ねじ１４を冷却体３に形成した雌ねじ部に螺合させる。 As shown in FIG. 3, the distal end portion of the cooling body contact plate portion 33 c is in contact with the rising wall 18 a on the innermost peripheral side of the step portion 18. The tip of the cooling body contact plate portion 32c is also in contact with the rising wall 18a on the innermost peripheral side of the step portion 18.
Then, the fixing screw 14 is inserted into the insertion hole 15 of the heat dissipation member 13 and the fixing member insertion holes 32c1 and 33c1 of the cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c, and the fixing screw 14 is screwed into the female screw portion formed in the cooling body 3. .
　これにより、放熱部材１３の段差部１８に収納した伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３の冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃが冷却体３の接合面としての上面３ｃに密着した状態で、冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃが放熱部材１３及び冷却体３の間に固定される。
　この際、冷却体３の浸漬部５の周囲の周溝６に装着したＯリング７が放熱部材１３の下面１３ａに押しつぶされ、冷却体３の浸漬部５に溜まった冷却水が外部に漏れるのを防止する液密封止が施される。 Thus, the cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c of the heat transfer supporting metal plates 32 and 33 housed in the stepped portion 18 of the heat radiating member 13 are in close contact with the upper surface 3c as the joint surface of the cooling body 3. The contact plate portions 32 c and 33 c are fixed between the heat radiating member 13 and the cooling body 3.
At this time, the O-ring 7 attached to the circumferential groove 6 around the immersion part 5 of the cooling body 3 is crushed by the lower surface 13a of the heat radiating member 13, and the cooling water accumulated in the immersion part 5 of the cooling body 3 leaks to the outside. A liquid tight seal is applied to prevent this.
　また、図１に示すように、パワーモジュール１１の正負の直流入力端子に１１ａに、ブスバー５５が接続され、ブスバー５５の他端に冷却体３を貫通するフィルムコンデンサ４の正負の電極４ａが固定ねじ５１で連結されている。また、パワーモジュール１１の負極端子１１ａに、外部のコンバータ（図示せず）に接続する接続コード５２の先端に固定された圧着端子５３が固定されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a bus bar 55 is connected to the positive and negative DC input terminals of the power module 11 to 11 a, and the positive and negative electrodes 4 a of the film capacitor 4 penetrating the cooling body 3 are fixed to the other end of the bus bar 55. They are connected by screws 51. Further, a crimp terminal 53 fixed to the tip of a connection cord 52 connected to an external converter (not shown) is fixed to the negative electrode terminal 11 a of the power module 11.
　さらに、パワーモジュール１１の３相交流出力端子１１ｂに、ブスバー５５の一端を固定ねじ５６で接続し、このブスバー５５の途中に電流センサ５７が配置されている。そして、ブスバー５５の他端に圧着端子５９が固定ねじ６０で接続されている。圧着端子５９は、外部の３相電動モータ（図示せず）に接続したモータ接続ケーブル５８に固定されている。 Furthermore, one end of the bus bar 55 is connected to the three-phase AC output terminal 11 b of the power module 11 with a fixing screw 56, and a current sensor 57 is disposed in the middle of the bus bar 55. A crimp terminal 59 is connected to the other end of the bus bar 55 with a fixing screw 60. The crimp terminal 59 is fixed to a motor connection cable 58 connected to an external three-phase electric motor (not shown).
　この状態で、外部のコンバータ（図示せず）から直流電力を供給するとともに、電源回路基板２３に実装された電源回路、制御回路基板２２に実装された制御回路を動作状態とし、制御回路から例えばパルス幅変調信号でなるゲート信号を駆動回路基板２１に実装された駆動回路を介してパワーモジュール１１に供給する。これによって、パワーモジュール１１に内蔵されたＩＧＢＴが制御されて、直流電力を交流電力に変換する。変換した交流電力は３相交流出力端子１１ｂからブスバー５５を介してモータ接続ケーブル５８に供給し、３相電動モータ（図示せず）を駆動制御する。 In this state, DC power is supplied from an external converter (not shown), and the power supply circuit mounted on the power supply circuit board 23 and the control circuit mounted on the control circuit board 22 are set in an operating state. A gate signal that is a pulse width modulation signal is supplied to the power module 11 via a drive circuit mounted on the drive circuit board 21. As a result, the IGBT built in the power module 11 is controlled to convert DC power into AC power. The converted AC power is supplied from the three-phase AC output terminal 11b to the motor connection cable 58 via the bus bar 55 to drive and control a three-phase electric motor (not shown).
　このとき、パワーモジュール１１に内蔵されたＩＧＢＴで発熱するが、パワーモジュール１１の放熱部材１３の下面中央部に設けた接液部１７が冷却体３に設けた浸漬部５に入り込んで冷却液に浸漬されているので、パワーモジュール１１は効率良く冷却される。
　一方、制御回路基板２２及び電源回路基板２３に実装されている制御回路及び電源回路には発熱回路部品３９が含まれており、これら発熱回路部品３９で発熱を生じる。このとき、発熱回路部品３９は制御回路基板２２及び電源回路基板２３の下面側に実装されている。 At this time, the IGBT built in the power module 11 generates heat, but the liquid contact portion 17 provided at the center of the lower surface of the heat radiating member 13 of the power module 11 enters the immersion portion 5 provided in the cooling body 3 and becomes the coolant. Since it is immersed, the power module 11 is efficiently cooled.
On the other hand, the control circuit and the power supply circuit mounted on the control circuit board 22 and the power supply circuit board 23 include a heat generating circuit component 39, and the heat generating circuit component 39 generates heat. At this time, the heat generating circuit component 39 is mounted on the lower surface side of the control circuit board 22 and the power supply circuit board 23.
　そして、これら制御回路基板２２及び電源回路基板２３の下面側には、熱伝導率が高く弾性を有する伝熱部材３５及び３７を介して伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３の伝熱支持板部３２ａ，３３ａが設けられている。伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３は、伝熱支持板部３２ａ，３３ａと、伝熱支持側板部３２ｂ，３３ｂと、冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃとを一体化した部品であって熱抵抗が小さい部材なので、図５に示すように、伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３に伝達された熱は、段差部１８に収納され、冷却体３の上面３ｃに直接接触した冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃから冷却体３に放熱される。 And on the lower surface side of these control circuit board 22 and power supply circuit board 23, heat transfer support plate portions of metal plates 32, 33 for heat transfer support are provided through heat transfer members 35 and 37 having high thermal conductivity and elasticity. 32a and 33a are provided. The heat transfer support metal plates 32 and 33 are components in which the heat transfer support plate portions 32a and 33a, the heat transfer support side plate portions 32b and 33b, and the cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c are integrated, and have a thermal resistance. 5, the heat transferred to the heat transfer support metal plates 32 and 33 is stored in the step portion 18 and directly contacts the upper surface 3c of the cooling body 3 as shown in FIG. The heat is radiated from 32c, 33c to the cooling body 3.
　なお、本発明の第１の発熱体が放熱部材１３に対応し、本発明の第２の発熱体が制御回路基板２２及び電源回路基板２３に対応し、本発明の伝熱板が伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３に対応し、本発明の第１の発熱体及び冷却体の接合面で挟持される伝熱板が伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３の冷却体接触板部３２ｃ、３３ｃに対応している。 In addition, the 1st heat generating body of this invention respond | corresponds to the heat radiating member 13, the 2nd heat generating body of this invention respond | corresponds to the control circuit board 22 and the power supply circuit board 23, and the heat exchanger plate of this invention supports heat transfer. Corresponding to the metal plates 32 and 33 for cooling, the heat transfer plate sandwiched between the joining surfaces of the first heating element and the cooling body of the present invention is the cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c of the heat transfer supporting metal plates 32 and 33. It corresponds to.
　本実施形態の電力変換装置１によると、伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３の冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃは、放熱部材１３の下面外周に形成した段差部１８に収納され、その冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃの下面３２ｃ２，３３ｃ２が、Ｏリング７が接触する放熱部材１３の接合面としての下面１３ａに面一とされながら冷却体３の上面３ｃに密着した状態で配置されるので、制御回路基板２２及び電源回路基板２３から伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３に伝達された熱は冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃから冷却体３に放熱され、効率の良い放熱を行うことができる。 According to the power conversion device 1 of the present embodiment, the cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c of the heat transfer supporting metal plates 32 and 33 are accommodated in the stepped portion 18 formed on the outer periphery of the lower surface of the heat radiating member 13, and the cooling body. Since the lower surfaces 32c2 and 33c2 of the contact plate portions 32c and 33c are arranged in a state of being in close contact with the upper surface 3c of the cooling body 3 while being flush with the lower surface 13a as the joining surface of the heat radiating member 13 with which the O-ring 7 contacts. The heat transferred from the control circuit board 22 and the power supply circuit board 23 to the heat transfer supporting metal plates 32 and 33 is radiated from the cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c to the cooling body 3, and the heat can be efficiently radiated. it can.
　また、大型重量物である冷却体３と比較して、放熱部材１３は加工機械に組付けても加工時の取り扱いが容易なので、放熱部材１３に段差部１８を形成する際の加工コストが増大しない。したがって、冷却体３の接合面である上面３ｃに冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃを収納する部位を形成せず、放熱部材１３のみに段差部１８を形成することで、加工コストの低減化を図ることができる。 Further, since the heat radiating member 13 is easy to handle during processing even when assembled to a processing machine, the processing cost when forming the stepped portion 18 on the heat radiating member 13 is increased as compared with the cooling body 3 which is a large and heavy object. do not do. Therefore, the processing cost can be reduced by forming the stepped portion 18 only in the heat radiating member 13 without forming the portion for housing the cooling body contact plate portions 32c and 33c on the upper surface 3c that is the joint surface of the cooling body 3. Can be planned.
　また、図６は、パワーモジュール１１（ケース体１２、放熱部材１３）に駆動回路基板２、制御回路ユニットＵ２、電源回路ユニットＵ３、伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３を組み付けたパワーモジュールユニットを示すものであり、このパワーモジュールユニットは、冷却体３とは分離されて組立工場等の遠隔地に輸送される。このパワーモジュールユニットに組付けられている伝熱支持用金属板３２，３３の冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃは、放熱部材１３の段差部１８に収納され、それら冷却体接触板部３２ｃ，３３ｃの先端部は段差部１８の最も内周側の立上がり壁１８ａに当接している。 6 shows a power module unit in which the drive circuit board 2, the control circuit unit U2, the power circuit unit U3, and the heat transfer supporting metal plates 32 and 33 are assembled to the power module 11 (case body 12, heat dissipation member 13).
