On the upper surface of the casing 12 of this semi-conductor power module 11, when drive circuit substrate 21 is configured to level, the mode tilting with tiltangleθ and to upper left side configures control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23.On these control circuit substrates 22 and power circuit substrate 23, heating circuit components and parts are installed.
Then, as shown in Figure 1, bus 50 is connected with the sub-11a of positive and negative direct-flow input end of semi-conductor power module 11, and utilizes hold-down screw 51 that the positive and negative electrode 4a of the film capacitor 4 that runs through cooling body 3 is connected with the other end of this bus 50.And, utilize hold-down screw 54 crimp type terminal 53 that is fixed on connecting line 52 front ends that are connected with external rectifier (not shown) to be fixed on to the sub-11a of direct-flow input end of semi-conductor power module 11.
And, utilize hold-down screw 56 that bus 55 is connected with the three-phase alternating current lead-out terminal 11b of semi-conductor power module 11, and at the middle part of this bus 55 configuration current sensor 57.Then, utilize hold-down screw 60 crimp type terminal 59 of front end that is fixed on the motor stube cable 58 being connected with outside threephase motor (not shown) to be fixed and is connected in the other end of bus 55.
Under this state, providing the galvanic while from external rectifier (not shown), make to be arranged on power circuit on power circuit substrate 23, be arranged on control circuit on control circuit substrate 22 in operate condition, via the drive circuit being arranged in drive circuit substrate 21, signal, for example pulse-width signal are offered to semi-conductor power module 11 by control circuit.Thus, the IGBT that is built in semi-conductor power module 11 is controlled, and direct current is converted to alternating current.Via bus 55, the alternating current conversion is offered to motor stube cable 58 from three-phase alternating current lead-out terminal 11b, thereby threephase motor (not shown) is driven to control.
Now, the IGBT that is built in semi-conductor power module 11 can generate heat.Because the cooling component 13 being formed on semi-conductor power module 11 directly contacts with cooling body 3, therefore utilize the cooling water that cooling body 3 provides to carry out cooling to the heat of this generation.
On the other hand, be installed in the control circuit of control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 and power circuit and include heating circuit components and parts 28, these heating circuit components and parts 28 can produce heating.Now, heating circuit components and parts 28 are installed on the upper surface side of control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, on control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23, the hot gas producing because of the heating of heating circuit components and parts 28 rises, in drive circuit substrate 21, even if caloric value is very little, but the hot gas producing because of the heating of circuit elements device also can rise.So the hot gas occurring because of the heat producing on drive circuit substrate 21 and control circuit substrate 22 rises, and arrive the lower surface of control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23.These control circuit substrates 22 and power circuit substrate 23 for example, tilt with tiltangleθ (5~20 °).Thus, the hot gas that arrives control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 rises along the lower surface of control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23, thereby has strengthened free convection.
Strengthen by the way free convection, make on the lower surface of control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23, not produce heat build-up, eliminated the non-uniform temperature in upper body 2B.
Incidentally, in the prior embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 are configured in the upper surface side of the casing 12 of semi-conductor power module 11 abreast.Therefore, the hot gas producing because of the heating of the heating circuit substrate of the upper surface side of drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 rises, and this hot gas arrives the lid 2b of control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and upper body 2B.
Now, control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b are in level.Therefore, the hot gas that arrives control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b is dispersed nowhere, thereby causes heat build-up and cause hot cooling effectiveness to decline.Therefore, only have the surrounding of drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b to become high temperature, cooling in relatively low low temperature because of cooling body 3 of the outside at these positions, thus in upper body 2B, produce non-uniform temperature.
Thus, even if form multiple ribs or radiating fin etc. to form radiating part on the internal face of upper body 2B, can not produce free convection, therefore cannot carry out effectively cooling to the high-temperature portion of the surrounding of drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b yet.
But, in above-mentioned execution mode 1, by make control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 all with respect to the orthogonal plane inclination predetermined angular θ of gravity direction, thereby can strengthen free convection.Thus, can prevent from, on drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b, heat build-up occurs, reduce the temperature in upper body 2B, and then can make temperature distribution homogenization.
In addition, in above-mentioned execution mode 1, the fixing situation of carrying out drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 by the topmost that nut 24a and 24b is screwed on to thread spindle 17a and 17b is illustrated.But the present invention is not limited to said structure, also can adopt the structure shown in Fig. 7.
; from the outstanding thread spindle 17a of control circuit substrate 22 and 17b, distance piece 25a and the 25b identical with distance piece 20a and 20b are being installed, then nut 26a and 26b are being screwed togather and be fastened on from the outstanding thread spindle 17a and 17b of the horizontal plane Fh of the upper end of these distance pieces 25a and 25b.
Then, the distance piece 27a identical with distance piece 25a and 25b and 27b are arranged on from nut 26a and the outstanding thread spindle 17a and 17b of 26b in reverse up and down mode.Power circuit substrate 23 is arranged on from the outstanding thread spindle 17a and 17b of the horizontal plane Fh of this distance piece 27a and 27b, then distance piece 20a and 20b are arranged on from the outstanding thread spindle 17a and 17b of this power circuit substrate 23, finally nut 24a and 24b are screwed togather and are fastened on thread spindle 17a and 17b.
According to this structure of Fig. 7, utilize the temporary transient fastening fixing control circuit substrate 22 of nut 26a and 26b, then side is utilized nut 24a and 24b fastening fixed power source circuit substrate 23 again at an upper portion thereof.Thus, can be fixed control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 securely, thereby can improve the shock resistance for up-down vibration or lateral shake etc.
Then, use Fig. 8 to describe embodiments of the present invention 2.
In present embodiment 2, make the integral inclination of housing 2 to replace the situation that only makes control circuit substrate and power circuit substrate tilt.
; in execution mode 2; the same with the conventional example of above-mentioned Fig. 5 and Fig. 6; adopt following structure:; semi-conductor power module 11 is configured in level in the upper body 2B that forms housing 2; and on the substrate fixed part 16 of semi-conductor power module 11 flatly configuration driven circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23, and the interval of guaranteeing to have between each substrate regulation.
So, in the time that the housing 2 with said structure is installed on the fixed parts such as vehicle body 30 as shown in Figure 8, utilize for example bolt 33 and nut 34 that outstanding direction to the left and right holder housing 31a and the 31b being formed on lower case 2A is fixed on stationary housing 32a and 32b, this stationary housing 32a and 32b are arranged on fixed part 30, and for example, to there is the planar extension of installation of the tiltangleθ (5~30 °) described in above-mentioned execution mode 1.
According to this execution mode 2, with respect to the state of the orthogonal horizontal plane inclination tiltangleθ of gravity direction, housing 2 is fixed on fixed part 30.Thus, drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b all tilt with tiltangleθ.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 9, identical with above-mentioned execution mode 1, when the hot gas producing in the heating of the heating circuit components and parts because of drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 rises, because control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b tilt with tiltangleθ, therefore the hot gas rising rises along the lower surface of control circuit substrate 22, power circuit substrate 23 and lid 2b, thereby strengthens free convection.
Consequently, even also can strengthen free convection in narrow space between the drive circuit substrate 21 being laminated, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23, thereby can prevent reliably the generation of heat build-up between substrate.
And, by circulation between drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23, in whole upper body 2B, form circulated air, thereby reduced the temperature difference of air in upper body 2B.
And, by the free convection between reinforcing laminated substrate, can in the case of do not adopt use the forced circulation mode of fin, carry out cooling, thereby can reduce the miniaturization of components and parts number, implement device.
Thus, as above-mentioned execution mode 2, in the situation that whole housing 2 is tilted, can only make housing 2 itself be applicable to conventional example by holder housing and stationary housing are set, thereby without special supporting member for substrate, can make to simplify the structure.
Then, use Figure 10 to describe embodiments of the present invention 3.

,, in execution mode 3, as shown in figure 10, the bottom surface 3e of cooling body 3 is formed as to the inclined plane tilting to upper right side with above-mentioned tiltangleθ.Thus, in the situation that lower case 2A is configured on horizontal plane, due to upper body, 2B tilts with tiltangleθ, therefore in the state identical with above-mentioned execution mode 2.
According to execution mode 3, because upper body 2B and above-mentioned execution mode 2 tilt in the same manner, therefore the action effect identical with above-mentioned execution mode 2 can be obtained, the free convection between drive circuit substrate 21, control circuit substrate 22 and power circuit substrate 23 can be strengthened.Thus, in the heat build-up of eliminating between substrate, can also in housing, form circulated air.
In addition, in above-mentioned execution mode 3, the situation that the opposite face of cooling body 3 is tilted is illustrated, but is not limited to this, also can be as shown in figure 11, square neck is oblique to left down to make the lower surface 2Aa of lower case 2A.In this case, upper body 2B also tilts in the same manner with above-mentioned execution mode 2, therefore can obtain the action effect identical with execution mode 3 with execution mode 2.

Therefore, owing to having configured radiating fin 42, thereby can make the surface area of assembling the link position between upper body 2B and the square tube body 2a that has lighter hot-air increase.Therefore, owing to having configured radiating fin 42, thereby can and outside between carry out energetically heat exchange, and then the internal gas temperature in upper body 2B is minimized.
And, because cooling body 3 is connected with upper body 2B, therefore upper body 2B is cooled to uniform temperature, can more effectively reduce internal gas temperature.
In addition, in above-mentioned execution mode 5, radiating fin 42 is illustrated with the situation that cooling body 3 is connected via square tube body 2a, but is not limited to this, also can between radiating fin 42 and cooling body 3, configure heat carrier, to form the independently thermally conductive pathways with square tube body 2a.In this case, due to radiating fin 42 is formed to special thermally conductive pathways, therefore can further improve the cooling effect of radiating fin 42.

,, in execution mode 6, as shown in figure 14, in the structure of Fig. 2 of above-mentioned execution mode 1, control circuit substrate 22 is supported by heat conduction supporting member 62 across heat conduction member 61.The heat conduction support side board 62c that this heat conduction supporting member 62 comprises the heat conduction supporting board 62a that contacts with heat conduction member 61, is connected with the connecting portion 62b of the right-hand member side of this heat conduction supporting board 62a.And the lower end of heat conduction support side board 62c contacts with cooling body 3.
Similarly, for power circuit substrate 23, also supported by heat conduction supporting member 65 across heat conduction member 64.The heat conduction support side board 65c that this heat conduction supporting member 65 comprises the heat conduction supporting board 65a that contacts with heat conduction member 61, is connected with the connecting portion 65b of the right-hand member side of this heat conduction supporting board 65a.And the lower end of heat conduction support side board 65c contacts with cooling body 3.
And the heat conduction support side board 62c in heat conduction supporting member 62 and 65 and the lower end of 65c connect to one by shared base plate 66.This base plate 66 is accommodated in the endless groove 67 of square box shape of the upper surface that is formed on cooling body 3, and is fixed together with cooling body 3 by hold-down screw 14.
Here, as heat conduction member 61 and 64, can application examples as by sandwiching as elastomeric silica gel inside the material that metal charge is brought into play insulation property and improved thermal conductivity.By these heat conduction members 61 and 64 are compressed, for example, to thickness direction compression 5~30% left and right, can reduce thermal resistance, bring into play efficient heat-conducting effect.Thus, in the time utilizing hold-down screw 68 to be fixed with heat conduction supporting board 62a accompanying the control circuit substrate 22 of heat conduction member 61, with the compression ratio of 5~30% left and right, heat conduction member 61 is compressed and fixed.Similarly, in the time utilizing hold-down screw 69 to be fixed with heat conduction supporting board 65a accompanying the power circuit substrate 23 of heat conduction member 64, with the compression ratio of 5~30% left and right, heat conduction member 64 is compressed and fixed.
