For example, a plurality of members are joined with a brazing material or the like. Not integrated.

図3(a)に示すように、筐体33において、冷媒通路38上は、発熱体としての電子部品12の搭載領域とされており、この領域に電子部品12が搭載されている。それぞれの電子部品12は、ケース本体13に収容された制御基板45に信号接続される。そして、電子部品12は図示しない制御機器が設けられた制御基板45によって制御される。   As shown in FIG. 3A, in the housing 33, the refrigerant passage 38 has a mounting area for the electronic component 12 as a heating element, and the electronic component 12 is mounted in this area. Each electronic component 12 is signal-connected to a control board 45 accommodated in the case body 13. The electronic component 12 is controlled by a control board 45 provided with a control device (not shown).

次に、本実施形態における放熱装置31の作用について説明する。
電子部品12が発熱し、流入路51から冷媒通路38に冷媒が流入すると、電子部品12が発した熱は、本体部39を介して冷媒と熱交換を行う。そして、冷媒と熱交換を行うことで、電子部品12は冷却される。冷媒通路38を流通した冷媒は、流出路52を介して冷媒通路38から流出する。
Next, the effect | action of the thermal radiation apparatus 31 in this embodiment is demonstrated.
When the electronic component 12 generates heat and the refrigerant flows into the refrigerant passage 38 from the inflow passage 51, the heat generated by the electronic component 12 exchanges heat with the refrigerant via the main body 39. And the electronic component 12 is cooled by heat-exchanging with a refrigerant | coolant. The refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant passage 38 flows out from the refrigerant passage 38 via the outflow passage 52.

したがって、上記実施形態によれば、以下のような効果を得ることができる。
(1)放熱装置31の筐体33と、流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43とは一体成形されている。したがって、流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43は、本体部39(筐体33)と同時に作られているため、流入路51及び流出路52のためにその形成用の部材を別に用意する必要がない。このため、放熱装置31の部品点数が削減される。
Therefore, according to the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The housing 33 of the heat radiating device 31, the inflow path forming portion 42, and the outflow path forming portion 43 are integrally formed. Therefore, since the inflow path forming portion 42 and the outflow path forming portion 43 are made at the same time as the main body 39 (housing 33), separate members for forming the inflow path 51 and the outflow path 52 are prepared. There is no need. For this reason, the number of parts of the heat dissipation device 31 is reduced.

(2)放熱装置31の筐体33に取り付けられる蓋部材37の位置決めを行うピン36と、放熱装置31の筐体33とは一体成形されている。したがって、位置決め用のピン36を筐体33とは別に用意する必要がなく、放熱装置31の部品点数が削減される。   (2) The pin 36 for positioning the lid member 37 attached to the housing 33 of the heat radiating device 31 and the housing 33 of the heat radiating device 31 are integrally formed. Therefore, there is no need to prepare positioning pins 36 separately from the housing 33, and the number of parts of the heat dissipation device 31 is reduced.

(3)冷媒通路38の内部に突出するフィン34と、放熱装置31の筐体33とは一体成形されている。したがって、フィン34を筐体33とは別に用意する必要がなく、放熱装置31の部品点数が削減される。   (3) The fins 34 protruding into the refrigerant passage 38 and the housing 33 of the heat dissipation device 31 are integrally formed. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare the fins 34 separately from the housing 33, and the number of parts of the heat dissipation device 31 is reduced.

(4)ケース本体13は、鋳造によって製造されている。鋳造は、鋳型に溶融した金属材料を流し込んで形成する方法であるため、ケース本体13の量産性に優れる。
(5)ケース本体13に取り付けられる天板18の位置決めを行うピン20は、ケース本体13に一体成形されている。このため、ピン20をケース本体13とは別に用意する必要がなく、部品点数が削減される。
(4) The case body 13 is manufactured by casting. Casting is a method in which a molten metal material is poured into a mold and formed, so that the mass productivity of the case body 13 is excellent.
(5) The pins 20 for positioning the top plate 18 attached to the case body 13 are integrally formed with the case body 13. For this reason, it is not necessary to prepare the pin 20 separately from the case main body 13, and the number of parts is reduced.

(6)例えば、特許文献1に記載の熱交換器のように、出入口パイプを一対のプレートにロウ付けすることで放熱装置を構成する場合、出入口パイプと、一対のプレートとのシール性を確保するために、出入口パイプと一対のプレートとの境界にシール材を介在させる場合がある。本実施形態の放熱装置31においては、放熱装置31の筐体33と流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43とが一体成形されているため、流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43と筐体33との境界部がなく、シール材を設ける必要がない。このため、流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43と、放熱装置31の筐体33とのシール性を確保するためにシール材を設ける必要がなく、部品点数が削減される。   (6) For example, when a heat radiating device is configured by brazing an inlet / outlet pipe to a pair of plates as in the heat exchanger described in Patent Document 1, a sealing property between the inlet / outlet pipe and the pair of plates is ensured. In order to do so, a sealing material may be interposed at the boundary between the inlet / outlet pipe and the pair of plates. In the heat radiating device 31 of the present embodiment, the housing 33 of the heat radiating device 31 and the inflow path forming portion 42 and the outflow path forming portion 43 are integrally formed. There is no boundary with the housing 33, and there is no need to provide a sealing material. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a sealing material in order to ensure the sealing performance between the inflow path forming portion 42 and the outflow path forming portion 43 and the housing 33 of the heat dissipation device 31, and the number of parts is reduced.

(7)特許文献1に記載の熱交換器のように、出入口パイプを一対のプレートにロウ付けする場合には、一対のプレートの凹部に出入口パイプを配置する段階や、一対のプレートの凹部に出入口パイプを配置した後、ロウ材を溶融させる段階などで、出入口パイプに位置ずれが生じる場合がある。そして、出入口パイプに位置ずれが生じた状態でロウ付けが行われると、接合不良が生じるおそれがあり、熱交換器の接合信頼性が低下する。本実施形態の放熱装置31においては、流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43が筐体33に一体成形されることで、流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43に位置ずれが生じることがない。   (7) Like the heat exchanger described in Patent Document 1, when brazing the inlet / outlet pipes to the pair of plates, the stage of arranging the inlet / outlet pipes in the recesses of the pair of plates, or the recesses of the pair of plates After the entrance / exit pipe is arranged, the entrance / exit pipe may be misaligned, for example, at the stage of melting the brazing material. If brazing is performed in a state where the position of the inlet / outlet pipe is displaced, there is a possibility that a bonding failure may occur, and the bonding reliability of the heat exchanger decreases. In the heat radiating device 31 of the present embodiment, the inflow path forming portion 42 and the outflow path forming portion 43 are integrally formed with the housing 33, so that the inflow path forming portion 42 and the outflow path forming portion 43 are displaced. There is no.

(8)特許文献1に記載の熱交換器とは異なり、出入口パイプをプレートにロウ付けする必要がないため、流入路形成部42及び流出路形成部43をロウ付けする工程が不要となる。   (8) Unlike the heat exchanger described in Patent Document 1, since it is not necessary to braze the inlet / outlet pipe to the plate, the step of brazing the inflow path forming section 42 and the outflow path forming section 43 is not required.

(9)ピン20を一体成形しない場合には、支持部19に形成された穴にピンを圧入することで、ケース本体13にピンを設ける。本実施形態の放熱装置31においては、ピン20がケース本体13に一体成形されているため、ピンを圧入する工程が不要となる。   (9) When the pin 20 is not integrally formed, the pin is provided in the case body 13 by press-fitting the pin into the hole formed in the support portion 19. In the heat dissipation device 31 of the present embodiment, since the pin 20 is integrally formed with the case main body 13, the step of press-fitting the pin becomes unnecessary.
