Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of power semiconductors, in particular to a power module structure of an integrated current sensor.
Background
The power module is formed by combining and packaging wafers into a whole according to certain functions, has the advantages of small size, high power density and the like, and is widely applied to the field of new energy automobiles. With the development of high power and long endurance of new energy vehicles, the application environment of the power module is increasingly severe, and the integration of the power module is widely concerned.
As shown in fig. 1, the output signal of the current sensor is connected to the control board and detects the current signal flowing through the ac busbar, and when the current sensor detects the current of the ac busbar, according to the formula (1),
wherein B is a magnetic field passing through the current sensor, K is a coefficient, I is a current of the AC busbar, and W1The width of the alternating current busbar is shown, and h is the distance between the alternating current busbar and the current sensor.
It can be seen that the magnitude of the magnetic field B passing through the current sensor depends greatly on the width W of the AC bus bar1And the distance h between the alternating current busbar and the current sensor. In an actual manufacturing process, when the current sensor is mounted on the ac busbar, if a deviation occurs in the distance h between the two components, a measurement error of the current becomes large. In addition, when the structure is applied to occasions with large vibration such as new energy automobiles, the distance h is easy to change due to the influence of the vibration, and the measurement error of the current value is increased.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in a conventional new energy vehicle inverter, a current sensor 6 is generally used to detect a current value of an ac busbar 4 in a three-phase ac controller, a conventional power module is composed of a heat sink 1, a plastic casing 2, a copper-clad ceramic substrate 7 and a wafer 8, the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7 is disposed on a surface of the heat sink 1, the wafer 8 is disposed on the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7 to form a control circuit, the plastic casing 2 is disposed on the heat sink 1 and covers the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7, the ac busbar 4 is connected to the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7, a control board 3 of the controller is located on a top surface of the plastic casing 2, since the power module and the current sensor 6 are two independent components, a detection signal of the current sensor 6 needs to be transmitted to the control board 3, and the detection signal is generally transmitted to the control board 3 by using a signal line; the current sensor 6 needs to be fixedly installed and the alternating current busbar 4 needs to penetrate through the current sensor 6, so that a part of space needs to be reserved for installing and fixing the current sensor 6 by the controller; and because the current signal is transmitted by adopting a signal wire mode, the current signal is easily interfered by external environment or other signals, and is influenced by the vehicle running vibration, the relative displacement can be generated between the current sensor 6 and the alternating current bus bar 4, and the reliability of the new energy automobile inverter is reduced. At the present stage, the new energy automobile driving controller requires higher power density and lower cost, and the conventional independent arrangement mode of the power module and the current sensor cannot meet the application requirement of the vehicle-mounted driving power module.

As shown in fig. 2 to 3 and 9 to 11, another power module structure of an integrated current sensor includes a heat sink 1, a plastic case 2, a copper-clad ceramic substrate 7, a wafer 8, a cover plate 22 and an ac busbar 4, wherein the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7 is disposed on the surface of the heat sink 1, the wafer 8 is disposed on the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7 to form a control circuit, the plastic case 2 is disposed on the heat sink 1 and covers the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7, the ac busbar 4 is connected to the copper-clad ceramic substrate 7 and extends out of the plastic case 2, the cover plate 22 is disposed on the top surface of the plastic case 2, the structure further includes a current sensing chip 5, a driving control board 3 and a metal shielding cover 9, the driving control board 3 is disposed on the top surface of the cover plate 22, the current sensing chip 5 is welded to the driving control board 3 and is directly opposite to the ac busbar 4 extending out of the plastic case 2, the metal shielding cover 9 wraps the alternating current busbar 4 and the current induction chip 5, the opening end of the metal shielding cover extends out of the driving control board 3, and the current induction chip 5 detects a current signal of the alternating current busbar 4.
