電子部品の収容構造体Electronic component housing structure
 本発明は、電子部品の収容構造体に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an electronic component housing structure.
 本出願は、2014年7月10日に出願された日本国特許出願の特願2014―142081に基づく優先権を主張するものであり、文献の参照による組み込みが認められる指定国については、上記の出願に記載された内容を参照により本出願に組み込み、本出願の記載の一部とする。 This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-142081 filed on Jul. 10, 2014. For the designated countries that are allowed to be incorporated by reference, The contents described in the application are incorporated into the present application by reference and made a part of the description of the present application.
 従来より、電力変換回路を構成する複数の電子部品と、電子部品を冷却する冷却器とを、ケース内に収容してなる電力変換装置が知られている。そして、当該電力変換装置において、電子部品と冷却器は、フレームに固定され、フレームと共に一体化されて一つの内部ユニットを構成している。内部ユニットは、ケースに固定されると共にケース内に密封されている。フレームは、ユニット固定部と、コンデンサを固定するコンデンサ固定部とを有する。コンデンサ固定部は、ユニット固定部よりも内側に配置されている。これによりケースの合成を高めつつ、コンデンサからケースに伝わる振動を抑制している(特許文献1)。 Conventionally, there is known a power conversion device in which a plurality of electronic components constituting a power conversion circuit and a cooler for cooling the electronic components are accommodated in a case. And in the said power converter device, an electronic component and a cooler are fixed to a flame | frame, and are integrated with the flame | frame and comprise one internal unit. The internal unit is fixed to the case and sealed in the case. The frame has a unit fixing part and a capacitor fixing part for fixing the capacitor. The capacitor fixing part is disposed inside the unit fixing part. This suppresses vibrations transmitted from the capacitor to the case while enhancing the synthesis of the case (Patent Document 1).
特開2011-182631号公報JP 2011-182631 A
 ところで、電力変換装置が振動する要因として、以下の2つが挙げられる。第1の要因は、電力変換装置を構成する部品(上記特許文献1のコンデンサ)が振動の発生源となっていることである。第2の要因は、電力変換装置以外の構成で発生する振動が電力変換装置に伝わることで、電力変換装置が振動することである。 By the way, there are the following two factors that cause the power converter to vibrate. The first factor is that the components (capacitors in Patent Document 1) constituting the power conversion device are sources of vibration. A 2nd factor is that a power converter device vibrates because the vibration which generate | occur | produces in structures other than a power converter device is transmitted to a power converter device.
 しかしながら、上記の特許文献1の技術においては、第1の要因により発生する振動に対して有効ではあるが、第2の要因により発生する振動に対しては振動抑制効果を十分に得ることができない、という問題があった。 However, in the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, although effective against the vibration generated by the first factor, the vibration suppressing effect cannot be sufficiently obtained for the vibration generated by the second factor. There was a problem.
 本発明が解決しようとする課題は、第1の要因により発生する振動だけではなく、第2の要因により発生する振動も抑制できる電子部品の収容構造体を提供することである。 The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an electronic component housing structure capable of suppressing not only the vibration caused by the first factor but also the vibration caused by the second factor.
 本発明は、第1部材及び第2部材を有する筐体により電子部品を収容し、第1部材と第2部材を締結部材で締結する。第1部材は、第1部材の表面上に、締結部材により締結されている締結部位を有する。そして、第1部材の表面上の所定の位置から締結部位に向かう方向に沿うようにリブを構成することによって上記課題を解決する。 In the present invention, an electronic component is accommodated by a housing having a first member and a second member, and the first member and the second member are fastened by a fastening member. The first member has a fastening portion fastened by a fastening member on the surface of the first member.

《第1実施形態》
 図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る電力変換装置及び動力装置を一体化した動力ユニットを示す図である。動力ユニットは、電気自動車又はハイブリッド車両の等の駆動源として用いられ、車両に設けられている。動力ユニットは、動力装置10、電力変換装置20、変速装置30、防振支持装置40、バネ50、ボルト60及びリブ71を備えている。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<< First Embodiment >>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a power unit in which a power conversion device and a power device according to an embodiment of the present invention are integrated. The power unit is used as a drive source for an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, and is provided in the vehicle. The power unit includes a power device 10, a power converter 20, a transmission 30, a vibration isolation support device 40, a spring 50, a bolt 60, and a rib 71.
 動力装置10は、バッテリ(図示しない)から供給される電力により駆動するモータである。動力装置10は、車両の駆動軸に連結され、電力変換装置20からの交流電力により駆動する車両の駆動源である。動力装置10が駆動すると、動力装置10は振動を発する発生源(起振源)となる。振動による加振力はモータの回転数を整数倍した値で表される。またモータの回転数は、ロータ及びステータの極数と駆動周波数との関係で表される。 The power unit 10 is a motor driven by electric power supplied from a battery (not shown). Power device 10 is a drive source of a vehicle that is connected to a drive shaft of the vehicle and is driven by AC power from power conversion device 20. When the power unit 10 is driven, the power unit 10 becomes a generation source (vibration source) that generates vibration. The excitation force due to vibration is represented by a value obtained by multiplying the number of rotations of the motor by an integer. The rotation speed of the motor is represented by the relationship between the number of poles of the rotor and the stator and the drive frequency.
 電力変換装置20は、電子部品21、基板22、及び筐体23を有している。電力変換装置20はバッテリから供給される電力を変換し、変換された電力を動力装置10に出力する。電力変換装置20は電子部品21を収容する構造体である。電子部品21は、インバータ、整流器を構成する回路素子である。一例としてインバータを挙げると、電子部品21は、IGBT等のスイッチング素子及びダイオードに相当する。 The power conversion device 20 includes an electronic component 21, a substrate 22, and a housing 23. The power conversion device 20 converts the power supplied from the battery, and outputs the converted power to the power unit 10. The power conversion device 20 is a structure that houses the electronic component 21. The electronic component 21 is a circuit element that constitutes an inverter and a rectifier. Taking an inverter as an example, the electronic component 21 corresponds to a switching element such as an IGBT and a diode.
 基板22は、板状の回路基板である。基板22は筐体23に支持されている。筐体23は、電子部品21及び基板22を収容する。筐体23は、アルミ等の金属により構成されている。なお、筐体23は金属に限らず樹脂等の部材で構成されてもよい。筐体23はボルトにより動力装置10に締結されている。すなわち、電力変換装置20が動力装置10に固定されることで、動力装置10及び電力変換装置20は一体化されている。そのため、動力装置10が振動した場合には、振動は電力変換装置20に伝搬する。また、インバータが駆動することで電力変換装置20が振動した場合には、振動は動力装置10に伝搬する。 The substrate 22 is a plate-like circuit board. The substrate 22 is supported by the housing 23. The housing 23 accommodates the electronic component 21 and the substrate 22. The housing | casing 23 is comprised with metals, such as aluminum. In addition, the housing | casing 23 may be comprised with members, such as not only a metal but resin. The casing 23 is fastened to the power unit 10 by bolts. That is, the power converter 10 and the power converter 20 are integrated by fixing the power converter 20 to the power apparatus 10. Therefore, when the power device 10 vibrates, the vibration propagates to the power conversion device 20. Further, when the power conversion device 20 vibrates by driving the inverter, the vibration propagates to the power device 10.
 筐体23は、上部筐体23aと下部筐体23bを有している。図2を用いて、筐体23の構造を説明する。図2(a)は筐体23の平面図を示し、図2(b)は筐体23の側面図を示す。なお、本実施形態に係る動力ユニットは、筐体23にリブ71を設けるように構成されているが、図2ではリブの図示を省略している。またリブ71の具体的な構成は後述する。 The housing 23 has an upper housing 23a and a lower housing 23b. The structure of the housing | casing 23 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 2A shows a plan view of the housing 23, and FIG. 2B shows a side view of the housing 23. Note that the power unit according to the present embodiment is configured to provide the ribs 71 on the housing 23, but the ribs are not shown in FIG. The specific configuration of the rib 71 will be described later.
 上部筐体23aは板状の金属部材であって、下部筐体23bの蓋になるように形成されている。下部筐体23bは、筐体23の本体部分となる。下部筐体23bは、上部筐体23aにより覆われる面を開口し、開口した面以外の面は壁面になっている。下部筐体23bの開口部が上部筐体23aにより塞いだ状態で、電子部品21は、上部筐体23a及び下部筐体23bで形成される空間内に収容されている。上部筐体23aの質量は下部筐体23bの質量よりも小さく、上部筐体23aの剛性は下部筐体23bの剛性よりも低い。そのため、上部筐体23aは、下部筐体23bよりも振動しやすい構造になっている。 The upper casing 23a is a plate-like metal member, and is formed to be a lid of the lower casing 23b. The lower housing 23 b is a main body portion of the housing 23. The lower housing 23b opens a surface covered by the upper housing 23a, and the surface other than the opened surface is a wall surface. With the opening of the lower housing 23b closed by the upper housing 23a, the electronic component 21 is accommodated in a space formed by the upper housing 23a and the lower housing 23b. The mass of the upper housing 23a is smaller than the mass of the lower housing 23b, and the rigidity of the upper housing 23a is lower than the rigidity of the lower housing 23b. Therefore, the upper housing 23a has a structure that is easier to vibrate than the lower housing 23b.
 上部筐体23a及び下部筐体23bは、ボルト60により締結されている。図2(a)に示すように、上部筐体23の表面は、矩形になっている。そして、上部筐体23aの表面において、四隅の部分がボルト60による締結される部位(以下、締結部位とも称す。)となる。また、上部筐体23aの表面において、長辺に沿う部分には、四隅の締結部位の他に、四隅の間に位置する部分も締結部位となる。すなわち、締結部位は、矩形状の表面の外周部に設けられている。そして、上部筐体23aの表面の外周部と下部筐体23bの側壁が、ボルト60により締結されている。 The upper casing 23 a and the lower casing 23 b are fastened by bolts 60. As shown in FIG. 2A, the surface of the upper housing 23 is rectangular. Then, on the surface of the upper housing 23a, the four corner portions are portions to be fastened by the bolts 60 (hereinafter also referred to as fastening portions). In addition, on the surface of the upper housing 23a, in addition to the fastening portions at the four corners, a portion located between the four corners is also a fastening portion along the long side. That is, the fastening portion is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the rectangular surface. And the outer peripheral part of the surface of the upper housing | casing 23a and the side wall of the lower housing | casing 23b are fastened with the volt | bolt 60. FIG.
 図1に示すように、変速装置30は、動力装置10と駆動軸との間で、回転速度及びトルクを変換する。変速装置30はボルト等により動力装置10に締結されている。防振支持装置40は、動力装置10、電力変換装置20、及び変速装置30を、車体に支持している。また防振支持装置40は、動力装置10、電力変換装置20、及び変速装置30の各振動が車体に伝搬することを防ぐための装置である。防振支持装置40は、樹脂で形成されている。防振支持装置40は変速装置30に固定されている。防振支持装置40はバネ50を介して車体に固定されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the transmission 30 converts the rotational speed and torque between the power unit 10 and the drive shaft. The transmission 30 is fastened to the power unit 10 by bolts or the like. The anti-vibration support device 40 supports the power device 10, the power conversion device 20, and the transmission 30 on the vehicle body. The anti-vibration support device 40 is a device for preventing the vibrations of the power device 10, the power conversion device 20, and the transmission 30 from propagating to the vehicle body. The anti-vibration support device 40 is made of resin. The anti-vibration support device 40 is fixed to the transmission 30. The anti-vibration support device 40 is fixed to the vehicle body via a spring 50.
 次に、筐体23の振動について説明する。例えば、電子部品21を構成するスイッチング素子のスイッチング動作により、電子部品21が振動した場合には、電力変換装置20が起振源となる。筐体23は、電子部品21を覆うような形状をしているため、筐体23は、電力変換装置20の他の部品と比べて振動し易い。また、例えば、動力装置10が起振源となり振動が発生した場合には、振動は電力変換装置20に伝搬する。動力装置10は筐体23に締結されているため、筐体23が振動する。また、筐体23の振動周波数が、変速装置3の固有値(固有振動周波数)と近接している場合には、共振によって、動力ユニットの騒音は大きくなる。 Next, the vibration of the housing 23 will be described. For example, when the electronic component 21 vibrates due to the switching operation of the switching element constituting the electronic component 21, the power conversion device 20 serves as a vibration source. Since the housing 23 is shaped to cover the electronic component 21, the housing 23 is likely to vibrate compared to other components of the power conversion device 20. For example, when the power device 10 becomes a vibration source and vibration is generated, the vibration propagates to the power conversion device 20. Since the power unit 10 is fastened to the housing 23, the housing 23 vibrates. Further, when the vibration frequency of the casing 23 is close to the natural value (natural vibration frequency) of the transmission 3, the noise of the power unit increases due to resonance.
 図3は、上部筐体23aの振動を説明するための図である。図3(a)は上部筐体23aの平面図を示し、図3(b)は図3(a)のIII-III線に沿う断面図である。また図3(b)の点線は、上部筐体23aの振動モードを表している。 FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the vibration of the upper casing 23a. 3A is a plan view of the upper housing 23a, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG. 3A. The dotted line in FIG. 3B represents the vibration mode of the upper housing 23a.
 上部筐体23aの表面の外周部はボルト60により締結されている。そのため外周部の剛性は高くなっている。一方、表面の中央部分の剛性は低い。そのため、筐体23に振動が伝わると、上部筐体23aは、図3(b)の点線に示すように振動する。そして、振動による上部筐体23aの変形量は、上部筐体23aの表面のうち中央部分Aで最も大きくなる。すなわち、中央部分Aが振動の腹となり、外周部分が振動の節となる。また、図3(b)の点線は1次モードの振動波形を示しているが、筐体23には、1次モードの振動だけではなく、2次モードの振動も発生する。 The outer peripheral part of the surface of the upper housing 23a is fastened with bolts 60. Therefore, the rigidity of the outer peripheral portion is high. On the other hand, the rigidity of the central portion of the surface is low. Therefore, when vibration is transmitted to the housing 23, the upper housing 23a vibrates as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. The amount of deformation of the upper casing 23a due to vibration is greatest at the central portion A of the surface of the upper casing 23a. That is, the central portion A becomes a vibration antinode, and the outer peripheral portion becomes a vibration node. Also, the dotted line in FIG. 3B shows the vibration waveform in the primary mode, but the casing 23 generates not only the vibration in the primary mode but also the vibration in the secondary mode.
 1次モードの振動に対しては、例えば上部筐体23aの質量を増加させることで、抑制できる。一方、2次モードの振動の振動に対しては、上部筐体23aの質量を増加させただけでは、十分に抑制できない。2次モードの振動の振動に対しては、電力変換装置20の固有値と周辺部品の固有値が近づかないように、上部筐体23aの固有値をずらすことで、抑制できる。そこで、本実施形態では、1次モードの振動だけではなく、2次モードの振動も抑制できるように、リブ71が上部筐体23aに設けられている。 The vibration of the primary mode can be suppressed by increasing the mass of the upper housing 23a, for example. On the other hand, the vibration of the secondary mode vibration cannot be sufficiently suppressed only by increasing the mass of the upper casing 23a. The vibration of the secondary mode vibration can be suppressed by shifting the eigenvalue of the upper housing 23a so that the eigenvalue of the power conversion device 20 and the eigenvalue of the peripheral component do not approach each other. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the rib 71 is provided on the upper housing 23a so that not only the vibration in the primary mode but also the vibration in the secondary mode can be suppressed.
 図4は筐体23及びリブ71を説明するための図である。図4(a)は筐体23及びリブ71の平面図を示し、図4(b)は筐体23及びリブ71の側面図を示す。リブ71は上部筐体23aの振動を抑制するための部材であり、上部筐体23aの表面に設けられている。リブ71は、筐体23の金属と同じ金属で形成されている。リブ71は、3本の直線のレールの形状になるように形成されている。また、3本のリブ71a、71b、71cの中点が、同じ位置となり、当該中点が、上部筐体23aの中央部分Aに位置する。リブ71aは、中央部分Aからボルト60に向かう方向に沿って形成されている。ボルト60は、四隅に位置するボルト60の間に位置するボルトであって、上部筐体23aの短辺に沿う方向で対向するボルトである。短辺は、上部筐体23aの矩形状の表面を形成する四辺のうち、短い方の辺である。 FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the housing 23 and the rib 71. 4A is a plan view of the housing 23 and the rib 71, and FIG. 4B is a side view of the housing 23 and the rib 71. The rib 71 is a member for suppressing the vibration of the upper casing 23a, and is provided on the surface of the upper casing 23a. The rib 71 is made of the same metal as that of the housing 23. The rib 71 is formed in the shape of three straight rails. Further, the midpoints of the three ribs 71a, 71b, 71c are at the same position, and the midpoint is located at the central portion A of the upper housing 23a. The rib 71 a is formed along the direction from the central portion A toward the bolt 60. The bolts 60 are bolts positioned between the bolts 60 positioned at the four corners, and are opposed in the direction along the short side of the upper housing 23a. The short side is the shorter side of the four sides forming the rectangular surface of the upper housing 23a.
 リブ71bは、中央部分Aからボルト60に向かう方向に沿って形成されている。ボルト60は、上部筐体23aの表面の四隅に位置し、上部筐体23aの表面の対角線上に位置する。また、リブ71cは、中央部分Aからボルト60に向かう方向に沿って形成されている。 The rib 71b is formed along the direction from the central portion A toward the bolt 60. The bolts 60 are located at the four corners of the surface of the upper housing 23a and are located on the diagonal lines of the surface of the upper housing 23a. The rib 71c is formed along the direction from the central portion A toward the bolt 60.
 すなわち、上部筐体23aの表面上において、リブ71a、71b、71cは、中央部分Aから各ボルト60に向かう方向に沿うように形成されている。言い換えると、リブ71a、71b、71cは、一対のボルト60間を結ぶ線上に形成されており、リブ71a、71b、71cの中点が上部筐体23aの表面の腹に位置する。一対のボルト60は、上部筐体23aの表面上で、中央部分Aを境に対向している。 That is, on the surface of the upper casing 23a, the ribs 71a, 71b, 71c are formed along the direction from the central portion A toward each bolt 60. In other words, the ribs 71a, 71b, 71c are formed on a line connecting the pair of bolts 60, and the midpoint of the ribs 71a, 71b, 71c is located on the antinode of the surface of the upper housing 23a. The pair of bolts 60 are opposed to each other with the central portion A as a boundary on the surface of the upper housing 23a.
 上記のように、上部筐体23aにはリブ71が設けられている。これにより、上部筐体23aの剛性がリブ71によって高まる。さらに、リブ71が、上部筐体23aの表面上の位置からボルト60に向かう方向に沿って形成されているため、上部筐体23aの振動の固有値をずらすことができる。 As described above, the upper casing 23a is provided with the ribs 71. Thereby, the rigidity of the upper housing 23 a is increased by the rib 71. Furthermore, since the rib 71 is formed along the direction from the position on the surface of the upper housing 23a toward the bolt 60, the eigenvalue of the vibration of the upper housing 23a can be shifted.
 ところで、電力変換装置20の振動を抑制する方法として、以下の方法が挙げられる。例えば、防振部材を動力装置10と電力変換装置20との間に配置する方法である。しかしながら、防振部材を設ける分、コストが高くなる。また、他の方法として、電力変換装置20を防音部材で覆うことも考えられる。しかしながら、防音部材を設ける分、コストが高くなる。 By the way, as a method for suppressing the vibration of the power conversion device 20, the following method can be cited. For example, there is a method of arranging a vibration isolating member between the power device 10 and the power conversion device 20. However, the cost is increased by providing the vibration isolation member. As another method, it is conceivable to cover the power conversion device 20 with a soundproof member. However, the cost increases as the soundproofing member is provided.
 さらに他の方法として、筐体23の振動面の質量を増加させることも考えられる。振動面は、筐体23を構成する面のうち、振動が発生し易い面に相当する。しかしながら、単に質量増加だけで振動を抑制するためには、質量を大幅に増加しなければならない。また、筐体23の振動面の剛性を高めることも考えられる。しかしながら、本実施形態のように、動力ユニットを構成する装置が密集して組み合わされている場合には、互いの装置間で共振することがないように、筐体23の固有値は周囲の構成の固有値にから離れた値にしなければならない。そのため、結果的には筐体23の質量が増加し、動力ユニットのサイズが大きくなってしまう。 As another method, it is conceivable to increase the mass of the vibration surface of the housing 23. The vibration surface corresponds to a surface on which vibration is easily generated among the surfaces constituting the housing 23. However, in order to suppress vibrations simply by increasing the mass, the mass must be significantly increased. It is also conceivable to increase the rigidity of the vibration surface of the housing 23. However, when the devices constituting the power unit are densely combined as in the present embodiment, the eigenvalue of the housing 23 is the value of the surrounding configuration so that the devices do not resonate. The value must be far from the eigenvalue. Therefore, as a result, the mass of the housing 23 increases, and the size of the power unit increases.
 一方、本実施形態では、リブ71を筐体23に設けることで、筐体23の質量が増加し、1次モードの振動を抑制している。また、リブ71が、上部筐体23aの表面の腹からボルト60に向かい方向に沿って形成されているため、筐体23の質量の増加を最小限に抑えつつ、2次モードの振動を抑制している。リブ71を筐体23に設けることで筐体23の質量は増加するが、リブ71による質量の増加に対して、筐体23の固有値のずれ量が大きければ、筐体23の固有値は、動力装置10等の固有値から離すことができる。そのため、本実施形態は、単にリブ71を筐体23に設けるだけではなく、上部筐体23aの表面のうち、剛性の低い部分から高い部分に向けてリブを設けている。これにより、上部筐体23aの表面の剛性を高めつつ、動力装置10等との共振を避けることができる。その結果として、本実施形態は、電力変換装置20の振動を抑制し、動力ユニットの騒音を抑制できる。 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the rib 71 is provided in the housing 23, thereby increasing the mass of the housing 23 and suppressing the vibration in the primary mode. Further, since the rib 71 is formed along the direction from the antinode of the surface of the upper housing 23a toward the bolt 60, the vibration of the secondary mode is suppressed while minimizing an increase in the mass of the housing 23. is doing. Although the mass of the housing 23 is increased by providing the rib 71 on the housing 23, if the deviation of the eigenvalue of the housing 23 is large with respect to the increase in the mass due to the rib 71, the eigenvalue of the housing 23 is the power It can be separated from the eigenvalue of the device 10 or the like. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the ribs 71 are not only provided on the housing 23 but also provided on the surface of the upper housing 23a from a low rigidity portion to a high portion. Thereby, resonance with the power unit 10 or the like can be avoided while increasing the rigidity of the surface of the upper housing 23a. As a result, this embodiment can suppress vibration of the power conversion device 20 and suppress noise of the power unit.
 また、電力変換装置20が電気自動車等に搭載された場合には、簡易な構成、省スペース、かつ低コストで、電力変換装置20の振動を抑制し、電力変換装置20の騒音を抑制できる。その結果として、車室内の静寂性を向上させることができる。 Further, when the power conversion device 20 is mounted on an electric vehicle or the like, vibration of the power conversion device 20 can be suppressed and noise of the power conversion device 20 can be suppressed with a simple configuration, space saving, and low cost. As a result, the quietness in the passenger compartment can be improved.
 また本実施形態において、上部筐体23aの表面が振動する場合には、ボルト60による締結部位が振動波の節となり、表面の中央部分が振動波の腹に相当する。そのため、リブ71は振動波の腹の部分から節の部分に向かって形成されている。これにより、上部筐体23aの表面のうち、振動による変形量が多い部分の剛性が高まり、動力装置10等との共振を避けることができる。その結果として、電力変換装置20の振動を抑制し、動力ユニットの騒音を抑制できる。 In the present embodiment, when the surface of the upper housing 23a vibrates, the fastening portion by the bolt 60 becomes a node of the vibration wave, and the central portion of the surface corresponds to the antinode of the vibration wave. Therefore, the rib 71 is formed from the antinode portion of the vibration wave toward the node portion. As a result, the rigidity of the portion of the surface of the upper housing 23a where the amount of deformation due to vibration is large is increased, and resonance with the power unit 10 or the like can be avoided. As a result, vibration of the power conversion device 20 can be suppressed and noise of the power unit can be suppressed.
 なお、本実施形態は、リブ71を、上部筐体23aの表面の外側に設けたが、内側に設けてもよい。上部筐体23の一対の表面のうち、内側の面は、電子部品21を臨む面である。 In this embodiment, the rib 71 is provided outside the surface of the upper housing 23a, but may be provided inside. Of the pair of surfaces of the upper housing 23, the inner surface is a surface facing the electronic component 21.
 また、本実施形態において、上部筐体23aの振動波の腹の部分が、上部筐体23aの表面の中央部分ではない場合には、リブ71の中点を振動波の腹の位置に合わせることで、リブ71の中点が表面の中央部分以外の位置になるように、リブ71が構成されていてもよい。 In the present embodiment, when the antinode of the vibration wave of the upper housing 23a is not the central portion of the surface of the upper housing 23a, the midpoint of the rib 71 is adjusted to the position of the antinode of the vibration wave. Thus, the rib 71 may be configured so that the midpoint of the rib 71 is located at a position other than the central portion of the surface.
 また、本実施形態において、振動を抑制するための収容構造体は、電力変換装置20に限らず、他の装置であってもよい。また上部筐体23a及び下部筐体23bを締結する締結部材は、ボルト60に限らず、他の部材でもよい。 In the present embodiment, the housing structure for suppressing vibration is not limited to the power conversion device 20 and may be other devices. The fastening member that fastens the upper housing 23a and the lower housing 23b is not limited to the bolt 60, and may be another member.
 上記のボルト60が本発明の「締結部材」に相当し、上部筐体23aが本発明の「第1部材」に相当し、下部筐体23bが本発明の「第2部材」に相当し、リブ71a~71cが本発明の「第1リブ」に相当する。 The bolt 60 corresponds to the “fastening member” of the present invention, the upper housing 23a corresponds to the “first member” of the present invention, the lower housing 23b corresponds to the “second member” of the present invention, The ribs 71a to 71c correspond to the “first rib” of the present invention.

 本発明の他の実施形態に係る電力変換装置20を、図7を用いて説明する。本実施形態では上述した第1実施形態に対して、上部筐体23aにリブ72a~72cを設ける点が異なる。これ以外の構成は上述した第1実施形態と同じであり、第1、第2実施形態の記載を適宜、援用する。図7(a)は上部筐体23aの平面図を示し、図7(b)は図7(a)のVII-VII線に沿う断面図を示す。なお、図7(a)の紙面の法線方向に沿った面が、図7(b)で示される断面となる。
<< 4th Embodiment >>
The power converter device 20 which concerns on other embodiment of this invention is demonstrated using FIG. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment described above in that ribs 72a to 72c are provided on the upper housing 23a. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and the descriptions of the first and second embodiments are incorporated as appropriate. 7A shows a plan view of the upper housing 23a, and FIG. 7B shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line VII-VII in FIG. 7A. Note that a surface along the normal direction of the paper surface of FIG. 7A is a cross section shown in FIG. 7B.
 上部筐体23aの表面には、リブ71a~71c及びリブ72a~72cが設けられている。リブ72a~72cは、それぞれ半径の異なる円の形状になるように構成されている。リブ72aの直径が最も小さく、リブ72cの直径が最も大きい。そして、円形状のリブ72a~72cの中心点は同一となり、リブ71a~71cの中心点は、上部筐体23aの表面の中央部分Aに位置する。すなわち、リブ71a~71cは上部筐体23aの表面の中央部分Aを中心とした円に沿うように形成されている。 On the surface of the upper casing 23a, ribs 71a to 71c and ribs 72a to 72c are provided. Each of the ribs 72a to 72c is configured to have a circular shape having a different radius. The rib 72a has the smallest diameter and the rib 72c has the largest diameter. The center points of the circular ribs 72a to 72c are the same, and the center points of the ribs 71a to 71c are located at the center portion A of the surface of the upper housing 23a. That is, the ribs 71a to 71c are formed along a circle centered on the central portion A of the surface of the upper housing 23a.
 本実施形態において、上部筐体23aは、VII-VII線に沿う断面において、振動の腹の部分にリブ72a~72cが設けられている。これにより、上部筐体23aの腹の部分の剛性が高まる。本実施形態は、第3実施形態のような肉厚部230を筐体23に設けなくても、肉厚部230と同様の効果を、リブ72a~72cによって発揮させることができる。また、第3実施形態のような肉厚部230を有する上部筐体23aを鋳造にて製造する場合には、高度な品質管理が求められる。一方、本実施形態のように、肉厚部230の代わりに、リブ72a~72cを上部筐体23aに設けることで、上部筐体23aを鋳造にて容易に製造できる。そのため、品質管理を必要以上に高めることなく、上部筐体23aの鋳造品質を保つことができる。 In the present embodiment, the upper housing 23a is provided with ribs 72a to 72c at the antinodes of vibration in the cross section along the line VII-VII. Thereby, the rigidity of the belly part of the upper housing | casing 23a increases. In the present embodiment, even if the thick portion 230 is not provided in the housing 23 as in the third embodiment, the same effects as the thick portion 230 can be exhibited by the ribs 72a to 72c. Moreover, when manufacturing the upper housing | casing 23a which has the thick part 230 like 3rd Embodiment by casting, high quality control is calculated | required. On the other hand, by providing the ribs 72a to 72c in the upper casing 23a instead of the thick portion 230 as in the present embodiment, the upper casing 23a can be easily manufactured by casting. Therefore, the casting quality of the upper housing 23a can be maintained without increasing quality control more than necessary.
 上記のリブ72a~72が本発明の「第2リブ」に相当する。 The ribs 72a to 72 correspond to the “second rib” of the present invention.
《第5実施形態》
 本発明の他の実施形態に係る電力変換装置20を、図8を用いて説明する。本実施形態では上述した第1実施形態に対して、リブ71a~71cの形状が異なる。これ以外の構成は上述した第1実施形態と同じであり、第1、第2実施形態の記載を適宜、援用する。図8(a)は上部筐体23aの平面図を示し、図8(b)は図8(a)のVIIIa-VIIIa線に沿う断面図を示し、図8(c)は図8(a)のVIIIb-VIIIb線に沿う断面図を示す。なお、VIIIa-VIIIa線に沿う断面及びVIIIb-VIIIb線に沿う断面は、上部筐体23aの中央部分Aから、四隅に位置するボルト60に向かう方向を法線方向とする面である。また、VIIIa-VIIIa線に沿う断面は、上部筐体23aの中央部分Aと四隅に位置するボルト60との間で、VIIIb-VIIIb線に沿う断面よりも、当該中央部分Aに近い面である。
<< 5th Embodiment >>
The power converter device 20 which concerns on other embodiment of this invention is demonstrated using FIG. In the present embodiment, the shapes of the ribs 71a to 71c are different from those of the first embodiment described above. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, and the descriptions of the first and second embodiments are incorporated as appropriate. 8A shows a plan view of the upper housing 23a, FIG. 8B shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line VIIIa-VIIIa of FIG. 8A, and FIG. 8C shows FIG. 8A. Sectional drawing which follows the VIIIb-VIIIb line | wire is shown. The cross section along the line VIIIa-VIIIa and the cross section along the line VIIIb-VIIIb are surfaces whose normal direction is the direction from the central portion A of the upper housing 23a toward the bolts 60 located at the four corners. The cross section taken along the line VIIIa-VIIIa is a surface closer to the central part A than the cross section taken along the line VIIIb-VIIIb between the central part A of the upper housing 23a and the bolts 60 located at the four corners. .
 リブ71a~71cは、中央部分Aの厚さが最も厚く、ボルト60に向かって徐々に薄くなっている。言い替えると、リブ71a~71cは、上部筐体23aの腹の部分に近いほど、厚みが厚くなるように構成されている。例えば、リブ71cの断面について、VIIIa-VIIIa線に沿う断面の面積をSaとし、VIIIb-VIIIb線に沿う断面の面積Sbとした場合には、Sa>Sbが成立する。すなわち、リブ71cをVIIIa-VIIIa線の断面で切ったとき断面積が、VIIIb-VIIIb線の断面で切ったとき断面積よりも大きくなるように、リブ71cが形成されている。リブ71a、リブ71bも、リブ71cと同様に形成されている。 The ribs 71a to 71c have the thickest central portion A and gradually become thinner toward the bolt 60. In other words, the ribs 71a to 71c are configured such that the closer to the belly portion of the upper housing 23a, the thicker the thickness. For example, regarding the cross section of the rib 71c, when the area of the cross section along the line VIIIa-VIIIa is Sa and the area Sb of the cross section along the line VIIIb-VIIIb, Sa> Sb is satisfied. That is, the rib 71c is formed so that the cross-sectional area when the rib 71c is cut along the section VIIIa-VIIIa line is larger than the cross-sectional area when the rib 71c is cut along the section VIIIb-VIIIb line. The rib 71a and the rib 71b are also formed in the same manner as the rib 71c.
 本実施形態において、リブ72a~72cの断面の面積が上部筐体23aの表面の腹の部分に近いほど大きくなるように、リブ72a~72cが構成されている。これにより、本実施形態は、第3実施形態のような肉厚部230を筐体23に設けなくても、肉厚部230と同様の効果を、リブ71a~71cによって発揮させることができる。 In the present embodiment, the ribs 72a to 72c are configured such that the cross-sectional areas of the ribs 72a to 72c increase as the area of the rib on the surface of the upper housing 23a becomes closer. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the ribs 71a to 71c can exhibit the same effect as the thick portion 230 without providing the thick portion 230 in the housing 23 as in the third embodiment.
