Abstract

A mounting assembly with wire-leaded electronic power components for an inverter of an electric compressor of a climate control system includes a support frame structure with a bottom forming an upper side and an underside, and a multiplicity of passages from the upper side to the underside for securement elements for securing the support frame structure on a motor housing. On the underside of the bottom a hollow receiving volume is implemented. A leaded power module or power semiconductor is embedded. In each hollow receiving volume is a contact region for localized contact in places of the hollow receiving volume with an upwardly facing surface of power semiconductor or power module. The opposite, downwardly facing surface of the semiconductor or the power module forms a portion of the lower outer surface area of the mounting assembly. An assembly of the mounting assembly with a compressor motor housing is also provided.

Claims (20)

1. A mounting assembly with wire-leaded electronic power components for an inverter of an electric compressor of a climate control system, comprising a support frame structure with a bottom forming an upper side and an underside of the frame support structure and comprising a multiplicity of passages from the upper side to the underside for securement elements for securing the support frame structure on a motor housing, wherein on the underside of the bottom a hollow receiving volume or a multiplicity of hollow receiving volumes is or are implemented in which a leaded power module or a multiplicity of discrete leaded power semiconductors is embedded, and wherein in each hollow receiving volume a contact region for a localized contact in places of the hollow receiving volume with an upwardly facing surface of the power semiconductor or power module is developed, while the opposing, downwardly facing surface of the power semiconductor forms a portion of the lower outer surface area of the mounting assembly and wherein the support frame structure comprises above the hollow receiving volumes a resilient region which is flexible in the direction of the thickness of the power semiconductors or of the power module compared to the other regions of the support frame structure.

2. A mounting assembly as in claim 1 , further comprising a multiplicity of busbars that are disposed within the support frame structure.

3. A mounting assembly as in claim 2 , wherein the support frame structure on the underside of the bottom comprises grooves adapted to the busbars, in which grooves the busbars are secured by press fit.

4. A mounting assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the bottom of the support frame structure comprises openings through which connector pins of the leaded power semiconductors or of the leaded power module are introduced and extend so far trough the support frame structure that, fed through a printed circuit board positioned on the support frame structure of the inverter, they can be soldered to the printed circuit board of the inverter.

5. A mounting assembly as in claim 2 , wherein the busbar ends are introduced through suitable openings in bottom of the support frame structure and extend so far through the support frame structure that, fed through a printed circuit board, positioned on the support frame structure, of the inverter, they can be soldered to the printed circuit board of the inverter.

6. A mounting assembly as in claim 1 , wherein between the contact region of the hollow receiving volume and the upwardly facing surface of the power semiconductor or of the power module there is line contact or point contact.

7. A mounting assembly as in claim 1 , wherein the support frame structure is comprised of synthetic material.

8. A mounting assembly as in claim 1 , wherein metal reinforcements coated with synthetic material or metal reinforcements within the support frame structure are utilized within the support frame structure.

9. An assembly of a mounting assembly as in claim 1 comprising a motor housing of a compressor, wherein the support frame structure is secured through a multiplicity of bolts on the motor housing and therein the power semiconductors disposed in the support frame structure or the power module is/are pressed against a cooling region.

10. An assembly as in claim 9 , wherein an intermediate layer of an electrically insulating, thermally conductive material is placed underneath the mounting assembly between the mounting assembly and the cooling region of the motor housing.

11. An assembly as in claim 9 , wherein in cases in which discrete power semiconductors are employed, no more than two power semiconductors are placed between two bolts.

12. A mounting assembly according to claim 2 , wherein metal reinforcements coated with synthetic material or metal reinforcements within the support frame structure are utilized within the support frame structure.

13. A mounting assembly according to claim 3 , wherein metal reinforcements coated with synthetic material or metal reinforcements within the support frame structure are utilized within the support frame structure.

14. A mounting assembly according to claim 4 , wherein metal reinforcements coated with synthetic material or metal reinforcements within the support frame structure are utilized within the support frame structure.

15. A mounting assembly according to claim 5 , wherein metal reinforcements coated with synthetic material or metal reinforcements within the support frame structure are utilized within the support frame structure.

16. A mounting assembly according to claim 6 , wherein metal reinforcements coated with synthetic material or metal reinforcements within the support frame structure are utilized within the support frame structure.

17. A mounting assembly as in claim 2 , wherein between the contact region of the hollow receiving volume and the upwardly facing surface of the power semiconductor or of the power module there is line contact or point contact.

18. A mounting assembly as in claim 3 , wherein between the contact region of the hollow receiving volume and the upwardly facing surface of the power semiconductor or of the power module there is line contact or point contact.

19. A mounting assembly as in claim 4 , wherein between the contact region of the hollow receiving volume and the upwardly facing surface of the power semiconductor or of the power module there is line contact or point contact.

20. A mounting assembly as in claim 5 , wherein between the contact region of the hollow receiving volume and the upwardly facing surface of the power semiconductor or of the power module there is line contact or point contact.
