  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the electrical junction box 1 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which the electrical junction box 1 is mounted on a tire housing 11 of a vehicle 10 in the present embodiment. 3 is a plan view of the electrical junction box 1 according to the present embodiment, FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. It was. FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the electrical junction box 1 in the present embodiment as viewed from the back side.

  The electrical junction box 1 is mounted on a tire housing 11 (corresponding to a body panel of the present invention) of a vehicle 10, and accommodates the circuit component 20 and the bus bar circuit 30 in the inner case 40. The inner case 40 is covered with an outer case 50.

  Hereinafter, in each component, the upper side in FIG. 1 is the upper surface, and the lower side is the lower surface. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the side facing forward in the traveling direction (right front side in FIG. 1) when attached to the vehicle 10 is assumed to be front and the side facing rearward (left back side in FIG. 1) is assumed to be rear. .

  The circuit structure 20 is formed by a circuit board 21 and a bus bar board 22 attached to the lower surface of the circuit board 21 (see FIG. 4). A conductive path (not shown) is formed in a predetermined pattern on the upper surface (one of the front and back surfaces) of the circuit board 21 and an electronic component 23 such as a relay is mounted. The bus bar substrate 22 attached to the lower surface of the circuit board 21 has an outer shape substantially aligned with the circuit board 21, and is formed by punching a metal plate having excellent conductivity to form a power circuit. A predetermined conductive path is formed.

  Further, a heat radiating plate 60 (corresponding to a heat radiating member of the present invention) is provided on the lower surface (the surface opposite to the side on which the electronic component 23 is mounted) of the circuit component 20 via an insulating adhesive. It is affixed. Since the heat radiating plate 60 is for radiating heat generated from the electronic component 23, the heat radiating plate 60 is formed in a shape substantially the same as the outer shape of the circuit component 20 by a metal plate such as aluminum having high thermal conductivity. . A heat transfer protrusion 61 for directly transferring heat to the tire housing 11 is provided at the rear of the right edge of the heat radiating plate 60 (see also FIG. 6).

  The heat transfer protrusion 61 protrudes downward from the rear part of the right edge of the heat radiating plate 60 and is bent in an L shape toward the right outer side. The portion bent in the L shape is abutted against the tire housing 11 of the vehicle 10 (which will be described in detail later), and an attachment portion for fixing the electrical junction box 1 on the tire housing 11 is provided. It also serves. Therefore, a screw hole 62 through which a screw for fixing the electrical junction box 1 on the tire housing 11 is provided in a portion that is in contact with the tire housing 11.

  A bus bar circuit 30 is connected to the circuit structure 20. The bus bar circuit 30 is formed by alternately laminating a plurality of bus bars 31 and insulating substrates 32 (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

  The inner case 40 that accommodates the circuit structure 20 and the bus bar circuit 30 is made of synthetic resin, and includes a lower case 41 having an open upper surface and an upper case 42 that covers the upper surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner case 40 has a rectangular shape as a whole as viewed from above, and the front half of the inner case 40 is cut off at the left side to be narrower than the rear half. Further, a right notch 43A and a left notch 43B, which are cut out in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the upper side, are formed at the left and right ends on the rear side.

  On the upper surface of the upper case 42, a plurality of relay blocks 44 for fitting a relay are formed in the front half, and a plurality of fuse blocks 45 for fitting a fuse are formed on the right end side of the rear half. The bus bar circuit 30 is accommodated in a space corresponding to the lower surface of the relay block 44 and the fuse block 45, and the circuit structure 20 is accommodated in a space on the left side of the rear half corresponding to the rest. Further, a heat transfer protrusion 61 projecting from the heat radiating plate 60 is led out from the right cutout 43A.

  On the other hand, an opening 46 is provided on the lower surface of the lower case 41 at a position corresponding to the heat sink 60 as shown in FIG. The opening 46 is formed in substantially the same shape as the heat sink 60 as viewed from above, and the lower surface of the heat sink 60 is exposed from the opening 46. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a connector housing 47 that opens downward is formed on the lower surface of the lower case 41 at the portion corresponding to the lower surface of the bus bar circuit 30. An external connector (not shown) is coupled to the connector housing 47, and an external circuit (for example, a power supply circuit or a load side circuit) and the bus bar circuit 30 are electrically connected via the external connector. .

  An outer case 50 (corresponding to the case of the present invention) that covers the inner case 40 is made of synthetic resin, and includes a lower cover 70 that covers the inner case 40 from the lower side and an upper cover (not shown) that covers the upper side from the upper side.

  The lower cover 70 is formed in a container shape having a bottom surface 71 and a side wall 72 standing upward from the peripheral edge thereof and having an upper surface opened, and has a substantially rectangular shape substantially aligned with the inner case 40 in a plan view. (See FIG. 1). And the front end recessed part 73A and the rear end recessed part 73B which were recessed along the outer peripheral surface of the inner case 40 seeing from the upper side are formed in the front-and-rear end part of the left side, respectively (refer also FIG. 3). . Since the electrical junction box 1 of the present embodiment is mounted on the tire housing 11, the portion facing the tire housing 11 on the bottom surface 71 of the lower cover 70 is formed in a shape along the arc shape of the tire housing 11. Specifically, it is a curved surface that descends toward the front and the side on the bus bar circuit 30 side (see also FIG. 6).

  A harness insertion hole 51 is provided in the left side wall 72 of the lower cover 70. And the wire harness (not shown) connected to the external connector fitted to the connector housing 47 of the lower case 41 is routed in the space between the outer wall of the inner case 40 and the inner wall of the lower cover 70, It is led out from the harness insertion hole 51 to the outside. A plurality of vehicle attachment portions 52 for attaching the electrical junction box 1 onto the tire housing 11 of the vehicle 10 are provided on the side wall 72 of the lower cover 70. A lock piece 74 that is engaged with the upper cover is provided above the side wall 72 on the front side.

  In the lower cover 70, an opening 80 penetrating in the vertical direction is provided at a position below the inner case 40 and corresponding to the accommodation position of the circuit component 20, that is, behind the front end recess 73A. (See FIGS. 4 and 6). Here, since the connector housing 47 protruding downward is provided on the lower surface of the lower case 41, the bottom surface 71 of the lower cover 70 is provided at a position lowered from the bottom surface of the lower case 41 by the amount of the protrusion (see FIG. 5). See also). Accordingly, the opening 80 has a cylindrical shape that is long in the vertical direction from the bottom surface 71 of the lower cover 70 to the opening 46 of the lower case 41, and the upper end of the peripheral wall 81 fits the lip of the opening 46 in the lower case 41. As a result, the opening 80 of the lower cover 70 and the opening 46 of the lower case 41 communicate with each other. In this way, the heat radiating plate 60 is disposed at a position retracted from the opening edge 82 on the lower side of the opening 80 in the lower cover 70, and faces the outside from the opening 80. In the state where the electrical connection box 1 is attached to the tire housing 11 with the bottom surface 71 (the surface on which the opening 80 is provided) of the lower cover 70 facing the upper surface of the tire housing 11, the opening 80 is provided. The heat radiation plate 60 exposed from the tire housing 11 faces the tire housing 11.

  Thus, since the heat sink 60 is disposed at a position deeper than the lower opening edge 82 of the opening 80, outside air is guided to the exposed surface 63 of the heat sink 60 on the peripheral wall 81 of the opening 80. An air guide path 83 is provided (see FIGS. 1, 5 and 6). The air guide path 83 is provided on the front wall (front side in the traveling direction of the vehicle 10) of the peripheral wall 81 of the opening 80, in other words, on the side wall 72 of the lower cover 70 that is behind the front end recess 73A. The air guide path 83 is formed in a tunnel shape that penetrates in the front-rear direction, that is, in the direction along the traveling direction of the vehicle 10 and is opened downward.

  Further, a stepped portion 75 is formed in a region from the rear end portion to the front side of the bottom surface 71 of the lower cover 70, which is retracted to the upper side compared to the front side region (see FIG. 6). The right portion 75A of the stepped portion 75 across the opening 80 is provided with a window hole 76 penetrating in the vertical direction at a position corresponding to the heat transfer protrusion 61 described above on the lower surface of the lower cover 70. From here, the heat transfer protrusion 61 is exposed. Then, a screw (not shown) is screwed into the screw hole 62 of the heat transfer protrusion 61 from above, so that the heat transfer protrusion 61 is screwed to the tire housing 11. On the other hand, in a state in which the electrical junction box 1 is attached to the tire housing 11, a slight gap is formed between the left side portion 75 </ b> B and the tire housing 11 across the opening 80 in the stepped portion 75. This gap serves as an exhaust path through which air escapes from the space surrounded by the heat sink 60, the tire housing 11, and the peripheral wall 81 of the opening 80.

  Next, operations and effects of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the electrical junction box 1, the heat generated from the electronic component 23 such as a semiconductor switching element when energized reaches the heat radiating plate 60 bonded to the lower surface of the bus bar substrate 22 through the bus bar substrate 22 bonded to the circuit board 21. . The heat radiating plate 60 is exposed from the opening 80 of the lower cover 70, and heat is dissipated from the exposed surface 63 into the air. Here, since the electrical connection box 1 is attached so that the surface on which the opening 80 is provided faces the tire housing 11 of the vehicle 10, the heat dissipation plate 60 exposed from the opening 80 and the vehicle 10. The tire housing 11 will face. Then, the heat reaching the heat radiating plate 60 is radiated from the exposed surface 63 to the tire housing 11 and absorbed there.

  Moreover, in the electrical junction box 1 of this embodiment, the heat sink 60 is arrange | positioned in the position slightly retracted rather than the opening edge 82 of the opening part 80 on account of the structure as mentioned above. For this reason, since the outside air does not easily reach the exposed surface 63 of the heat radiating plate 60, the heat radiated from the heat radiating plate 60 is difficult to diffuse, and the heat radiating efficiency may be lowered. However, since the peripheral wall 81 of the opening 80 is provided with the air guide path 83 for guiding the outside air to the exposed surface 63 of the heat radiating plate 60, the outside air that has flowed through the air guide path 83 is dissipated. The radiator plate 60 comes into contact with the exposed surface 63 and is air-cooled.

  Further, when the vehicle 10 travels, traveling wind that flows from the front to the rear of the vehicle body is generated accordingly. However, since the side wall 72 of the lower cover 70 is formed so as to fall forward along the shape of the bottom surface 71, the generated traveling wind is blocked by the wall formed on the front side of the opening 80.

  Here, since this wall is provided with an air guide path 83 that opens forward and communicates with the opening 80, the traveling wind passes through the air guide path 83 from this opening as shown by the arrows in FIG. 7. It will be possible to enter the opening 80 through. Further, the air guide path 83 is formed to penetrate in a direction along the traveling direction of the vehicle 10. Since this direction is almost the same as the direction in which the traveling wind flows, the traveling wind that has entered can smoothly pass through the air guide path 83 and reach the opening 80 without being blocked. Thereby, the air cooling of the heat sink 60 can be performed more efficiently.

  Further, since a gap serving as an exhaust path is provided between the left side portion 75B of the stepped portion 75 and the tire housing 11 at the rear of the lower cover 70, the traveling wind that has absorbed heat from the heat radiating plate 60 at the opening 80 is provided. Is quickly discharged from the exhaust passage into the external space. As described above, since the air flow from the front to the rear always occurs in the opening 80 while the vehicle 10 is traveling, the traveling wind that has been warmed by absorbing the heat of the heat radiating plate 60 is opened. The air is discharged to the outside without staying inside 80, and new air is always supplied to the inside of the opening 80. As a result, the cooling efficiency is improved, and heat is radiated more efficiently.

  In this manner, the electrical junction box 1 can ensure heat dissipation even in a limited space because heat is radiated by air cooling by the outside air in addition to radiation to the tire housing 11. . Further, since the air guide path 83 is provided in both directions in the traveling direction of the vehicle 10 and the traveling wind is smoothly guided into the opening 80, heat dissipation is performed more efficiently.

  Further, a heat transfer protrusion 61 protruding from the heat radiating plate 60 is in contact with the tire housing 11 of the vehicle 10. Then, the heat that has reached the heat radiating plate 60 from the electronic component 23 is directly transmitted to the tire housing 11 via the heat transfer protrusion 61 that is a part of the heat radiating plate 60. As a result, heat is quickly dissipated to the outside.

  Moreover, since this heat transfer protrusion 61 also serves as an attachment portion when the electric junction box 1 is attached to the tire housing 11 of the vehicle 10, the structure of the electric junction box 1 can be simplified and the electric junction box 1 can be made more compact. It can be a structure.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the electrical junction box 1 is attached to the tire housing 11 such that the surface on which the opening 80 is provided faces the tire housing 11 of the vehicle 10. The outer case 50 of the electrical junction box 1 is provided with an air guide path 83 for guiding outside air to the exposed surface 63 of the heat radiating plate 60. Therefore, the heat generated from the electronic component 23 such as the semiconductor switching element when energized is radiated from the heat radiating plate 60 exposed to the opening 80 to the tire housing 11 and absorbed there. Furthermore, since the outside air that has flowed in through the air guide path 83 contacts the exposed surface 63 of the heat radiating plate 60, the heat radiating plate 60 is cooled by the air. As described above, since heat is released by air cooling by the outside air in addition to radiation to the tire housing 11, the electric junction box 1 can ensure sufficient heat dissipation even in a limited space.

  Further, the exposed surface 63 of the heat radiating plate 60 is disposed at a position retracted from the opening edge 82 in the opening 80 of the lower cover 70, and the air guide path 83 is provided on the peripheral wall 81 of the opening 80. Here, if the heat radiating plate 60 is disposed at a position retracted from the opening edge 82, the outside air hardly reaches the exposed surface 63 of the heat radiating plate 60. Efficiency may decrease. However, in the present invention, since the air guide path 83 is provided in the peripheral wall 81 of the opening 80, the outside air flowing in through the air guide path 83 is in contact with the exposed surface 63 of the heat sink 60, and the heat sink 60 is cooled by air. Become so. Thereby, it becomes the electrical junction box 1 which can ensure sufficient heat dissipation even in the limited space.

  Further, since the air guide path 83 is provided along the traveling direction of the vehicle 10, the traveling wind flowing from the front to the rear of the vehicle body as the vehicle 10 travels is smoothly guided to the air guide path 83, and the heat radiating plate. Reaches 60. Thereby, air cooling of the heat sink 60 by external air can be performed more efficiently. The air guide path 83 is a through path that is formed through the front wall of the peripheral wall 81 of the opening 80 and communicates with the opening 80. Here, the traveling wind that flows from the front to the rear of the vehicle body with the traveling of the vehicle 10 is blocked by the front wall of the opening 80, and the air guide path 83 is formed on the wall. The wind is smoothly guided to the exposed surface 63 of the heat radiating plate 60 through the air guide path 83. Thereby, air cooling of the heat sink 60 by external air can be performed more efficiently.

  Further, a heat transfer protrusion 61 that is a part of the heat radiating plate 60 is brought into contact with the tire housing 11. According to such a configuration, the heat generated from the electronic component 23 such as a semiconductor switching element when energized is directly transmitted to the tire housing 11 via the heat transfer protrusion 61 of the heat radiating plate 60, and quickly radiates heat to the outside. Will come to be. Furthermore, since the heat transfer protrusion 61 of the heat radiating plate 60 also serves as an attachment portion of the electrical junction box 1, the structure of the electrical junction box 1 can be simplified, and the electrical junction box 1 can be made more compact.
