ところで、上述した特許文献１の筐体構造は、重量が７０kg〜３６０kgまでのインバ
ータ装置に使用されており、重量が軽い筐体構造では、アルミダイカスト支柱１ａ〜１ｄの強度が過剰となり、コストアップを招くおそれがある。
一方、重量物である電解コンデンサや冷却フィン６は、剛性がさほど高くないフレーム板金５ａ、５ｂに取り付けられているので、フレーム板金５ａ、５ｂの共振が電解コンデンサや冷却フィン６の内蔵部品に悪影響を及ぼすおそれがある。 By the way, the case structure of Patent Document 1 described above is used for an inverter device having a weight of 70 kg to 360 kg. In the case of a light weight case structure, the strength of the aluminum die-casting columns 1a to 1d becomes excessive, resulting in an increase in cost. May be incurred.
On the other hand, the heavy electrolytic capacitors and cooling fins 6 are attached to the frame metal plates 5a and 5b, which are not so rigid, and the resonance of the frame metal plates 5a and 5b adversely affects the built-in components of the electrolytic capacitors and the cooling fins 6.

さらに、特許文献１の筐体構造では、天面カバー３、４ａと冷却フィン６との間に配置される冷却ファン（不図示）から冷却フィン６に導入される風が、冷却フィン６の冷却効率の高い部分に流れるようにガイドする板金部品を設ける必要があり、部品点数の増加によってコストアップを招くという問題もある。 When the inverter device is used in an environment where there is a lot of dust and the clogging of the cooling fin 6 is to be removed, in the case structure of Patent Document 1, a large number of parts such as the frame metal plate 5b and the writer 8 are disassembled. Therefore, the cooling fins 6 must be removed, which is problematic in terms of maintainability.
Further, in the case structure of Patent Document 1, wind introduced into the cooling fin 6 from a cooling fan (not shown) disposed between the top cover 3, 4 a and the cooling fin 6 cools the cooling fin 6. It is necessary to provide a sheet metal part that guides it so that it flows to a highly efficient part, and there is also a problem that the cost increases due to an increase in the number of parts.

そこで、本発明は、上記従来例の未解決の課題に着目してなされたものであり、共振を防止するために板金部材の剛性を維持し、冷却フィンのメンテナンス性を向上させることができるとともに、アルミダイカスト支柱を使用せずに強度を上げ、且つ、空気の流れを変更する部品を使用せずに冷却フィンの冷却効率を高めることでコストアップを解消することができるインバータ装置の筐体構造を提供することを目的としている。   Therefore, the present invention has been made paying attention to the unsolved problems of the above-described conventional example, and can maintain the rigidity of the sheet metal member and prevent the cooling fin from being maintained in order to prevent resonance. Inverter casing structure that can eliminate the cost increase by increasing the strength without using aluminum die-casting columns and increasing the cooling efficiency of the cooling fins without using components that change the air flow The purpose is to provide.

次いで、板金梁１２およびコンデンサ支持フレーム２２，冷却ファン支持フレーム１７に第１側面板金１１および第２側面板金１２をネジ止めし、その後、上部前面カバー１６ａ及び下部前面カバー１６ｂを装着することで、図１に示すインバータ装置の筐体が組立てられる。   Next, the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are screwed to the sheet metal beam 12, the capacitor support frame 22, and the cooling fan support frame 17, and then the upper front cover 16a and the lower front cover 16b are mounted. The casing of the inverter device shown in FIG. 1 is assembled.

次に、本実施形態のインバータ装置の筐体構造の作用効果について説明する。
本実施形態のインバータ装置の筐体は、長手方向に冷却ファンユニット１８を支持する門型形状の冷却ファン支持フレーム１７と、冷却フィン２１と、門型形状の電解コンデンサ２３を装着するコンデンサ支持フレーム２２とが固定され、冷却ファン支持フレーム１７及びコンデンサ支持フレーム２２の門型に直交するように幅方向に離間したＣチャンネル形状の一対の板金梁１２が、冷却フィン２１及びコンデンサ支持フレーム２２に固定されているので、従来のインバータ装置のような四隅にアルミダイカスト支柱を使用することなく、比較的安価な部材により筐体強度を確保することができるので、コストアップを抑制することができる。 Next, the effect of the housing structure of the inverter device of this embodiment will be described.
The casing of the inverter device according to the present embodiment includes a gate-shaped cooling fan support frame 17 that supports the cooling fan unit 18 in the longitudinal direction, a cooling fin 21, and a capacitor support frame that mounts the gate-shaped electrolytic capacitor 23. 22 and a pair of sheet metal beams 12 having a C channel shape spaced in the width direction so as to be orthogonal to the gate shape of the cooling fan support frame 17 and the capacitor support frame 22 are fixed to the cooling fins 21 and the capacitor support frame 22. As a result, the strength of the housing can be ensured by a relatively inexpensive member without using aluminum die-casting columns at the four corners as in the conventional inverter device, so that an increase in cost can be suppressed.

また、門型形状の冷却ファン支持フレーム１７及びコンデンサ支持フレーム２２と、Ｃチャンネル形状の一対の板金梁１２は、それぞれ剛性が高い部材なので共振を防止することができ、電解コンデンサ２３や冷却フィン２１の内蔵部品に悪影響を及ぼすおそれがない。
また、インバータ装置を長期間使用し続け、冷却フィン２１の多数のフィンが並んでいる吸気口２１ａに詰まった塵埃を除去する場合には、図１（ｂ）に示すように、第１側面板金１１の開口部１１ａを閉塞しているメンテナンスプレート２７を取り外すことで、外部からコンデンサ支持フレーム２２の門型形状の空間を介して冷却フィン２１の吸気口２１ａの清掃を行うことができるので、メンテナンス性を大幅に向上させることができる。 In addition, the portal-shaped cooling fan support frame 17 and the capacitor support frame 22 and the pair of C-channel sheet metal beams 12 are each a highly rigid member, so that resonance can be prevented, and the electrolytic capacitor 23 and the cooling fins 21 can be prevented. There is no risk of adversely affecting the internal components.
Further, when the inverter device is used for a long period of time and the dust clogged in the air inlet 21a in which a large number of fins of the cooling fins 21 are lined up is removed, as shown in FIG. By removing the maintenance plate 27 that closes the opening 11a of the heat sink 11, the air inlet 21a of the cooling fin 21 can be cleaned from the outside through the gate-shaped space of the capacitor support frame 22. Can greatly improve the performance.

ところで、図８に示すように、冷却ファンユニット１８から吹き出した冷却風が、冷却フィン２１の外周とウライタ１０及び第１側面板金１１との間の隙間（斜線Ａで示す領域）に流れると、発熱部品３０，３１を冷却する冷却フィン２１の冷却効率が悪くなる。しかし、本実施形態は、コンデンサ支持フレーム２２の柱部２２ｃが、斜線Ａで示した冷却フィン２１の外周とウライタ１０及び第１側面板金１１との間の隙間を閉塞しており、冷却ファンユニット１８から吹き出した冷却風が冷却フィン２１に流れずに隙間側に流れるのを防止するので、冷却フィン２１の冷却効率の低下を防止することができる。しかも、新たな部品を使用せず、電解コンデンサ２３を支持するコンデンサ支持フレーム２２によって冷却風の流れを制御することができるので、部品点数が増加せずコストアップを抑制することができる。   By the way, as shown in FIG. 8, when the cooling air blown out from the cooling fan unit 18 flows into the gap between the outer periphery of the cooling fin 21 and the writer 10 and the first side surface metal plate 11 (region indicated by the hatched line A), The cooling efficiency of the cooling fins 21 for cooling the heat generating components 30 and 31 is deteriorated. However, in this embodiment, the column portion 22c of the capacitor support frame 22 closes the gap between the outer periphery of the cooling fin 21 and the writer 10 and the first side surface metal plate 11 indicated by the oblique line A, and the cooling fan unit Since the cooling air blown from 18 is prevented from flowing to the gap side without flowing to the cooling fin 21, the cooling efficiency of the cooling fin 21 can be prevented from being lowered. In addition, since the cooling air flow can be controlled by the capacitor support frame 22 that supports the electrolytic capacitor 23 without using new components, the number of components does not increase and the cost increase can be suppressed.
