Generally, in a semiconductor device, in addition to the heat generated by the semiconductor element, heat generating electrical components such as a resistor and a scroll are installed in the device box. Cooling them is an important issue in terms of reliability in equipment configuration and performance. Common cooling methods include a self-cooling method that uses natural convection of air, a forced cooling method that uses a blower, and a liquid-cooled method that uses liquid as a refrigerant.
The self-cooling type is said to be the best in terms of cost and maintainability. However, conventional self-cooling devices have poor cooling efficiency, can only be used under a specific range of conditions, and have the problem of being large and heavy.

In other words, FIGS. 1 to 3 show a conventional semiconductor device, in which a wind tunnel 2 penetrating vertically in the center of a device box 1 is configured with partition walls 3, 3, and an intake port 4 at the lower end of the wind tunnel 2. And the upper end exhaust port 5 is covered with a wire mesh or the like. Semiconductor elements 7 and various electrical components 8°9, 10 are placed in sealed chambers 6, 6 on both sides partitioned by the wind tunnel 2 and partition walls 3, 3 in the equipment box 1.
.. 11th grade is installed. Further, cooling fins 12 for cooling the semiconductor element 7 are provided to protrude from the partition wall 3 to the inside of the wind tunnel 2, and the top plate of the equipment box 1 is provided with cooling fins 12 for cooling the semiconductor elements 7. This is a configuration in which radiation fins 13.13 for cooling the air are attached.

Then, the heat of the semiconductor element 7 in the device box 1 is transferred to the cooling fin 1.
2, the heated air inside the wind tunnel 2 rises and is discharged from the exhaust port 5. Due to this natural convection, external air passes through the wind tunnel 2 from the lower intake port 4 and reaches the cooling fins. The semiconductor element 7 is cooled in such a way that the heat of the semiconductor element 12 escapes from the exhaust port 5 while gurgling. In addition, heat from other heat generating electrical components 8 and 10 such as resistors is cooled down by natural heat radiation from the wall surface of the device box 1 and the upper heat radiation fins 13.

However, in the semiconductor device with the conventional configuration described above,
Since the air flow in the wind tunnel 2 is based on natural convection due to heat from the cooling fins 12, the flow velocity is very slow, and therefore the cooling capacity is low and limited. Furthermore, the cooling effect of the other heat generating electrical components 8 and 10 is also low due to natural heat radiation through the wall surface of the device box 1 and the radiation fins 13. Therefore, it has been difficult to mount high heat generating components and to downsize the entire device.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Components in the figure having the same configuration as those in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals to simplify the explanation. Here, equipment box 1
In addition to the cooling fins for the semiconductor device 7 being provided in the wind tunnel 2 penetrating vertically within the wind tunnel 2 as in the conventional case, cooling fins for the semiconductor device 7 are provided in the wind tunnel 2 near the upper exhaust port 5, that is, above the cooling fins 12. A heat generating electrical appliance 8A is installed.

The heat-generating electrical component 8A is a resistor or the like, and was conventionally housed in a closed chamber 6 in the equipment box 1, but it was changed to an outside air cooling type and left in the wind tunnel 2. In addition, the same (radiating fin 1 that was previously provided on the top plate of the equipment box 1)

However, with the above configuration, the air in the wind tunnel 2 is heated not only by the heat from the cooling fins 12 of the semiconductor element 7 but also by the heat from the heat-generating electrical components 8A and the heat dissipating fins 13, resulting in natural convection. In addition, the flow rate of air rising inside the wind tunnel 2 from the lower intake port 4 toward the upper exhaust port 5 IP is also increased due to natural heat dissipation from walls etc. The heat-generating electrical components 8A that were being cooled will now be efficiently cooled with outside air, and this will reduce the temperature rise inside the closed room 6, improving the reliability of other electrical components 9, etc. . Furthermore, the improvement in cooling efficiency as described above makes it possible to downsize the cooling fins 12 and the device box 1, thereby reducing the weight.

Next, FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the upper end exhaust port 5A is
With a configuration in which the opening area up to the lower intake port 4 is larger than that of the lower intake port 4,
Further, in a wide upper part of the wind tunnel 2, another heat generating electrical component 10k is installed together with the above-mentioned heat generating electrical component 8A. In this case, the amount of air flowing inside the wind tunnel 2 is large as in the upper embodiment, and the cooling fins 12 and heat generating electrical components HA, IO
In addition to being able to efficiently cool A, the upper exhaust port 5
Since the exhaust port 5A is wide, the high-temperature exhaust gas blown up from A has a relatively slow flow rate and is diffused over a wide range, thereby eliminating local heating of the underfloor of the vehicle and the equipment under the floor.
