このようなインバータでは、各スイッチングモジュール、平滑コンデンサ、およびトランスが高温になるが、冷却床の上面を介して各スイッチングモジュールを、下面を介してコンデンサを、冷却床と連続する側壁を介してトランスを、それぞれ良好に冷却できる。
本発明の建設機械は、当該電子装置が搭載されていることを特徴とする。
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
図1は、本実施形態の冷却用筐体(以下、筐体という)を備えた電子機器としてのインバータを底面側から見た分解斜視図である。
図1において、インバータ10は、その機能や用途については、図6に基づいて説明した前述のインバータ8と同様であり、建設機械としてのハイブリッド型の油圧ショベル1に搭載される。インバータ10は、図1中に実線で示す筐体11と、筐体11の上方を覆うアルミダイカスト製の上部カバー12と、筐体11の下方を覆うアルミダイカスト製の下部カバー13と、筐体11および各カバー12,13に取り付けられる種々の電子、電気部品とを備えている。
図2はインバータ10の要部を示す平面図、図3はその底面図、図4はその断面図であり、図2の矢印IV-IVから見た断面図である。なお、図4では、下部カバー13の図示を省略してある。
図1ないし図4において、筐体11は、平面視にて長辺および短辺を有する矩形状とされ、同様に平面視で略矩形状とされた外枠部14と、外枠部14を上下に仕切る床部15とで構成されている。そして、筐体11は、床部15の表裏面の一方の面である上面に設けられた第1配置部16と、床部15の表裏面の他方の面である下面に設けられた第2配置部17と、床部15に設けられた開口部15Aを介して第1配置部16および第2配置部17とに連通した第3配置部18とを備えている。
第1配置部16において、第1面状部15Bには、第1電子部品としての複数の昇圧器用スイッチングモジュール22が並設されている。昇圧器用スイッチングモジュール22の内部には、発熱源となる絶縁ゲートバイポーラトランジスタで構成された図示略の昇圧器用スイッチング素子が設けられている。昇圧器用スイッチングモジュール22の上方には、内部のスイッチング素子と図示しない接続手段にて導通されたゲート基板21が配置され、ゲート基板21には、電源トランス23等の部品が実装されている。
第2配置部17において、第2面状部15Cには、第2電子部品としての一対の発電電動機用スイッチングモジュール33、および同じく第2電子部品としての複数の旋回モータ用スイッチングモジュール34が並設されている。各スイッチングモジュール33,34の内部には、発熱源となる絶縁ゲートバイポーラトランジスタで構成された図示略の発電電動機用スイッチング素子および旋回モータ用スイッチング素子が設けられている。各スイッチングモジュール33,34の上方にも、図示しない接続手段にて内部のスイッチング素子と導通されたゲート基板31,32が配置され、ゲート基板31,32には、電源トランス35,36等の部品が実装されている。内部の各スイッチング素子で生じた熱は、第2面状部15Cを介して冷却用流路15D内を流れる冷却水に放熱される。この結果、各スイッチング素子が冷却されることとなる。
第3配置部18には、昇圧器用スイッチングモジュール22の第1蓄電部41Aと、発電電動機用スイッチングモジュール33および旋回モータ用スイッチングモジュール34用の第2蓄電部41Bとが一体に設けられた平滑コンデンサユニット41が床部15を跨いで配置されている。平滑コンデンサユニット41は、例えばフィルムコンデンサ等で構成され、図1に示すように、開口部15Aの長手方向に沿った長さが短い上部側と長さの長い下部側とにより、側面視で略L字形状とされている。
図4において、インバータ10を構成する上部カバー12内には、インバータ10を統括して制御するための制御回路基板51が設けられている。制御回路基板51と各ゲート基板21,31,32とは、図示しないケーブルで電気的に接続されている。また、制御回路基板51の下方には、ノイズ対策用の金属製の遮蔽板52が設けられている。
以上の本実施形態によれば、以下の効果がある。
インバータ10の筐体11では、第3配置部18が開口部15Aを介して第1、第2配置部16,17に連通し、その開口部15Aに平滑コンデンサユニット41が配置されるため、平滑コンデンサユニット41としては、第1、第2蓄電部41A,41Bが一体に設けられた1つのものでよい。従って、平滑コンデンサを蓄電部毎に別々に設け、各平滑コンデンサを床部15の上下に分けて配置する場合に比し、部品点数を抑えることができ、組立作業等の作業性を向上させることができる。
さらに、第1蓄電部41Aと第2蓄電部41Bとが一体に設けられることにより、これらの間の直流ラインによる回路長が短くなるので、当該直流ラインが有するインダクタンス成分を小さくでき、このインダクタンス成分に起因する共振電流を抑制できる。
平滑コンデンサとしては、フィルムコンデンサの他、電解コンデンサ等でもよい。
第1、第2電子部品としては、いずれのスイッチングモジュールでもよく、例えば、昇圧機能が別に設けられるインバータでは、第1、第2電子部品の一方を発電電動機用スイッチングモジュールとし、他方を旋回モータ用スイッチングモジュールとしてもよく、一方と他方とは逆でもよい。
冷却フィンは、第1、第2面状部の少なくとも一方に設けられていればく、また、設けない場合でも、本発明に含まれる。
一方の面状部を形成するカバープレートは、ボルトにて他方の面状部に固定されていたが、そのようなカバープレートを溶接等により固定してもよい。
冷却用流路は、前記実施形態では、図5に示すように、平面視でU字状として説明したが(A)、これに限らず、I字状(B)、N字状(C)、W字状(D)であってもよいし、M字状等であってもよく、任意である。また、(D)のように、冷却液のインとアウトとを長辺側に設けてもよい。さらに、複数の流路を独立して設けてもよい。
冷却液としては、水に限らず、不凍液等であってもよい。
