Description

電力変換装置power converter
 本開示は、電力変換装置に関するものである。 The present disclosure relates to a power converter.
 電力変換装置の筐体に設けられた開口部を覆う蓋には、耐振性の向上のために高いヤング率を有することにより高い剛性を有する鉄が用いられることがある。一方で、車載向け等の電力変換装置には軽量化も求められている。例えば、アルミニウム製の蓋は、鉄製の蓋よりも軽量である。一方で、アルミニウムのヤング率が低いため、アルミニウム製の蓋の剛性が低いという課題がある。例えば、特開2005-348506号公報(特許文献1)に記載の車載用電力変換装置(電力変換装置)では、蓋の剛性の向上のために、外装カバー(蓋)が天板部と、天板部から突出した凸部とを有している。 Iron, which has a high Young's modulus and high rigidity, is sometimes used for the lid that covers the opening provided in the housing of the power converter, in order to improve vibration resistance. On the other hand, there is also a demand for weight reduction in power converters for vehicles and the like. For example, aluminum lids are lighter than steel lids. On the other hand, since the Young's modulus of aluminum is low, there is a problem that the rigidity of the lid made of aluminum is low. For example, in the in-vehicle power conversion device (power conversion device) disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-348506 (Patent Document 1), the outer cover (lid) has a top plate portion and a top plate portion in order to improve the rigidity of the lid. and a convex portion projecting from the plate portion.
特開2005-348506号公報JP 2005-348506 A
 上記公報に記載の電力変換装置(車載用電力変換装置)では、凸部は、直線のみからなる。このため、蓋(外装カバー)の断面係数が十分に大きくない。よって、蓋の剛性が十分に高くない。 In the power conversion device (in-vehicle power conversion device) described in the above publication, the convex portion consists only of straight lines. Therefore, the section modulus of the lid (exterior cover) is not sufficiently large. Therefore, the rigidity of the lid is not sufficiently high.
 本開示は上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、蓋の剛性が十分に高い電力変換装置を提供することである。 The present disclosure has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a power conversion device whose lid has sufficiently high rigidity.
 本開示の電力変換装置は、基板と、筐体と、蓋とを備えている。筐体は、底部を含んでいる。底部には、基板が配置されている。蓋は、基板に対して筐体の底部とは反対側に配置されている。蓋は、天板部と、複数の第1リブ部と、第2リブ部とを含んでいる。天板部は、基板を覆っている。複数の第1リブ部は、基板と天板部とが重ねられた方向に沿って天板部から突出している。第2リブ部は、基板と天板部とが重ねられた方向に沿って天板部から突出している。複数の第1リブ部は、直線状である。複数の第1リブ部は、第2リブ部を挟んで向かい合うように第2リブ部に接続されている。第2リブ部は、環形状を有している。 A power conversion device of the present disclosure includes a substrate, a housing, and a lid. The housing includes a bottom. A substrate is placed on the bottom. The lid is arranged on the opposite side of the substrate from the bottom of the housing. The lid includes a top plate portion, a plurality of first rib portions, and a second rib portion. The top plate portion covers the substrate. The plurality of first rib portions protrude from the top plate portion along the direction in which the substrate and the top plate portion are stacked. The second rib portion protrudes from the top plate portion along the direction in which the substrate and the top plate portion are overlapped. The plurality of first rib portions are linear. The plurality of first rib portions are connected to the second rib portion so as to face each other with the second rib portion interposed therebetween. The second rib portion has an annular shape.
 本開示の電力変換装置によれば、第2リブ部は、環形状を有している。このため、第1リブ部および第2リブ部の両方を通る断面において、第2リブ部が設けられていない場合よりも、蓋の断面係数が大きい。よって、蓋の剛性が十分に高い。 According to the power conversion device of the present disclosure, the second rib portion has an annular shape. Therefore, in a cross section passing through both the first rib portion and the second rib portion, the section modulus of the lid is larger than when the second rib portion is not provided. Therefore, the rigidity of the lid is sufficiently high.

 図12に示されるように、実施の形態1の第4の変形例に係る電力変換装置100では、第2リブ部42の形状は、天板部40から基板1(図1参照)に向かう方向から見て矩形である。図12では、第2リブ部42の形状は、天板部40から基板1(図1参照)に向かう方向から見て長方形だが、第2リブ部42の形状は正方形や多角形であってもよい。 As shown in FIG. 12, in power conversion device 100 according to the fourth modification of Embodiment 1, the shape of second rib portion 42 is the direction from top plate portion 40 toward substrate 1 (see FIG. 1).

That is, the plurality of first rib portions 41 may be spaced apart from the edge of the top plate portion 40 .
 続いて、本実施の形態の作用効果を説明する。
 実施の形態1に係る電力変換装置100によれば、図1に示されるように、第2リブ部42は、環形状を有している。このため、第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42の両方を通る断面において、第2リブ部42が設けられていない場合よりも、蓋4の断面係数が大きい。よって、蓋4の剛性が十分に高い。したがって、蓋4の変形を抑制することができる。
Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described.
According to power converter 100 according to Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 1, second rib portion 42 has an annular shape. Therefore, in a cross section passing through both the first rib portion 41 and the second rib portion 42, the section modulus of the lid 4 is larger than when the second rib portion 42 is not provided. Therefore, the rigidity of the lid 4 is sufficiently high. Therefore, deformation of the lid 4 can be suppressed.
 蓋4の剛性が十分に高いため、蓋4の材料として軽量な材料を用いることができる。例えば、蓋4の材料としてアルミニウム(Al)およびアルミニウム(Al)合金を用いることができる。このため、蓋4の剛性の向上および軽量化の両立を達成することができる。剛性の向上および軽量化の両立が達成された蓋4は、特に、車載向け電力変換装置100等の軽量化が求められる用途において有効である。 Since the rigidity of the lid 4 is sufficiently high, a lightweight material can be used as the material for the lid 4. For example, aluminum (Al) and an aluminum (Al) alloy can be used as the material of the lid 4 . Therefore, it is possible to achieve both improvement in rigidity and reduction in weight of the lid 4 . The lid 4 that achieves both improved rigidity and reduced weight is particularly effective in applications requiring weight reduction, such as the on-vehicle power conversion device 100 .
 図1に示されるように、複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42の各々は、基板1に向かって天板部40から突出している。このため、蓋4が筐体3の外部に向かって突出することを抑制することができる。よって、電力変換装置100の組み付け先である外部機器に複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42が干渉することを抑制することができる。したがって、外部機器を蓋4上に安定して配置することができる。 As shown in FIG. 1 , each of the plurality of first rib portions 41 and second rib portions 42 protrudes from the top plate portion 40 toward the substrate 1 . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lid 4 from protruding toward the outside of the housing 3 . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the plurality of first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42 from interfering with the external device to which the power conversion device 100 is attached. Therefore, external devices can be stably arranged on the lid 4 .
 図1に示されるように、複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42の各々は、基板1に向かって天板部40から突出している。このため、蓋4が筐体3の外部に向かって突出することを抑制することができる。よって、電力変換装置100の高さ方向の寸法を小さくすることができる。 As shown in FIG. 1 , each of the plurality of first rib portions 41 and second rib portions 42 protrudes from the top plate portion 40 toward the substrate 1 . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the lid 4 from protruding toward the outside of the housing 3 . Therefore, the height dimension of the power conversion device 100 can be reduced.
 図3に示されるように、複数の固定部5の各々は、複数の第1リブ部41の延長線からずれて配置されている。複数の第1リブ部41の延長線からずれた位置における蓋4の剛性は、複数の第1リブ部41の延長線における蓋4の剛性よりも低い。このため、複数の第1リブ部41の延長線からずれた位置において蓋4を筐体3に複数の固定部5によって固定することで、蓋4の剛性を効果的に向上させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 3 , each of the plurality of fixing portions 5 is arranged deviated from the extension line of the plurality of first rib portions 41 . The rigidity of the lid 4 at a position shifted from the extension line of the plurality of first rib portions 41 is lower than the rigidity of the lid 4 at the extension line of the plurality of first rib portions 41 . Therefore, the rigidity of the lid 4 can be effectively improved by fixing the lid 4 to the housing 3 with the plurality of fixing portions 5 at positions deviated from the extension lines of the plurality of first rib portions 41 .
 図5および図6に示されるように、天板部40の第1部401は、第2部402よりも基板1(図1参照)とは反対に向かって突出している。このため、第1部401の高さ位置は、第2部402の高さ位置とは異なっている。よって、第1部401の高さ位置と第2部402の高さ位置とが同じである場合よりも、天板部40の断面係数が大きい。したがって、天板部40の剛性が十分に高い。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first portion 401 of the top plate portion 40 protrudes from the second portion 402 in the direction opposite to the substrate 1 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, the height position of the first portion 401 is different from the height position of the second portion 402 . Therefore, the section modulus of the top plate portion 40 is larger than when the height position of the first portion 401 and the height position of the second portion 402 are the same. Therefore, the rigidity of the top plate portion 40 is sufficiently high.
 図5および図6に示されるように、天板部40の第1部401は、第2部402よりも基板1(図1参照)とは反対側に向かって突出している。このため、第1部401は、筐体3の外側に向かって突出している。よって、第1部401の高さ位置と第2部402の高さ位置とが同じである場合よりも、筐体3の内側の空間の体積が大きい。したがって、筐体3内に配置される電子部品2の配置の自由度が向上する。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the first portion 401 of the top plate portion 40 protrudes from the second portion 402 toward the side opposite to the substrate 1 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, the first portion 401 protrudes outward from the housing 3 . Therefore, the volume of the space inside the housing 3 is larger than when the height position of the first portion 401 and the height position of the second portion 402 are the same. Therefore, the degree of freedom in arranging the electronic components 2 in the housing 3 is improved.
 図1に示されるように、電子部品2は、複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42から間隔を空けて配置されている。このため、電子部品2は、複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42に接触しない。よって、電子部品2と複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42との絶縁距離を確保することができる。したがって、電子部品2と複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42とを電気的に絶縁することができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic component 2 is spaced apart from the multiple first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42 . Therefore, the electronic component 2 does not come into contact with the multiple first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42 . Therefore, the insulation distance between the electronic component 2 and the plurality of first rib portions 41 and second rib portions 42 can be ensured. Therefore, it is possible to electrically insulate the electronic component 2 from the plurality of first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42 .
 図1に示されるように、複数の第1リブ部41は、放射状に配置されている。このため、複数の第1リブ部41が直線状に配置されている場合よりも、蓋4の断面係数が大きい。よって、蓋4の剛性が十分に高い。 As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of first rib portions 41 are radially arranged. Therefore, the section modulus of the lid 4 is larger than when the plurality of first rib portions 41 are linearly arranged. Therefore, the rigidity of the lid 4 is sufficiently high.
 図1に示されるように、第2リブ部42の形状は、円形である。第2リブ部42内の長さが同じである場合、円形状の第2リブ部42内の面積は、矩形状の第2リブ部42内の面積よりも小さい。このため、第2リブ部42内の領域を小さく維持したまま、第2リブ部42の長さを長くすることができる。また、複数の第1リブ部41を配置可能な領域が大きくなる。よって、複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42を長くすることができる。これにより、蓋4の断面係数が大きい。したがって、蓋4の剛性が十分に高い。 As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the second rib portion 42 is circular. When the length of the second rib portion 42 is the same, the area of the circular second rib portion 42 is smaller than the area of the rectangular second rib portion 42 . Therefore, the length of the second rib portion 42 can be increased while the area inside the second rib portion 42 is kept small. Moreover, the area in which the plurality of first rib portions 41 can be arranged is increased. Therefore, the plurality of first rib portions 41 and second rib portions 42 can be lengthened. Thereby, the section modulus of the lid 4 is large. Therefore, the rigidity of the lid 4 is sufficiently high.
 図2に示されるように、第2リブ部42が円形である場合、蓋4にねじりが加わったときに第2リブ部42にかかる応力は、一部の箇所に集中することが抑制されるため分散される。このため、蓋4の剛性が高くなる効果が得られる。また第2リブ部42が円形である場合、第2リブ部42から放射状に伸びる第1リブ部41同士は等角度となるように配置することができる。このため、隣り合う第1リブ部41間に応力が集中することを抑制する効果が得られる。また、第2リブ部42の成形が容易である。 As shown in FIG. 2, when the second rib portion 42 is circular, the stress applied to the second rib portion 42 when twisting is applied to the lid 4 is suppressed from concentrating at some locations. distributed because Therefore, the effect of increasing the rigidity of the lid 4 is obtained. Further, when the second rib portion 42 is circular, the first rib portions 41 radially extending from the second rib portion 42 can be arranged at equal angles. Therefore, the effect of suppressing the concentration of stress between adjacent first rib portions 41 can be obtained. Further, molding of the second rib portion 42 is easy.
 図2に示されるように、天板部40に通気孔などの穴が設けられないことで、蓋4に力が加わった場合に応力集中を抑制する効果が得られる。また、塵および水分の浸入を防ぐための部品を設ける必要がないため、蓋4の耐震性の低下を防ぐことができる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the top plate portion 40 is not provided with holes such as ventilation holes, so that the effect of suppressing stress concentration when force is applied to the lid 4 can be obtained. In addition, since there is no need to provide a component for preventing dust and moisture from entering, the lid 4 can be prevented from being degraded in earthquake resistance.
 図3に示されるように、第2リブ部42の中心は、天板部40の中心と同一である。具体的には、第2リブ部42の中心は天板部40の第1部401の中心と同一となるように配置されている。このとき、蓋4の断面係数を大きくすることができるため、剛性を大きくする効果を得ることができる。また、この場合、第1リブ部41の各リブの長さが最も長くなるため、板金加工が容易である。また、金型を用いて加工するときも成形時のそりを抑制することができる。したがって、加工が容易となる効果を得ることができる。 As shown in FIG. 3 , the center of the second rib portion 42 is the same as the center of the top plate portion 40 . Specifically, the center of the second rib portion 42 is arranged to coincide with the center of the first portion 401 of the top plate portion 40 . At this time, since the section modulus of the lid 4 can be increased, the effect of increasing the rigidity can be obtained. Further, in this case, since the length of each rib of the first rib portion 41 is the longest, sheet metal working is easy. In addition, warpage during molding can be suppressed even when working using a mold. Therefore, an effect of facilitating processing can be obtained.
 図3に示されるように、複数の第1リブ部41はすべて天板部40の同一平面上に配置されている。具体的には、複数の第1リブ部41はすべて天板部40の第1部401上に配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 3 , the plurality of first rib portions 41 are all arranged on the same plane of the top plate portion 40 . Specifically, all of the plurality of first rib portions 41 are arranged on the first portion 401 of the top plate portion 40 .
 複数の第1リブ部41は天板部40の端辺と離間して配置されている。具体的には、複数の第1リブ部41はすべて第1部401の端辺に到達しないように配置されている。このため、板金での成形が容易となる効果を得ることができる。また、第1リブ部41が第1部401上に配置されると、第2部402と第1部401との間の高さを大きくすることで、背の高い電子部品2を基板1に配置することが可能となる。これにより、電子部品2の配置の自由度が向上する効果を得ることができる。 The plurality of first rib portions 41 are arranged apart from the edge of the top plate portion 40 . Specifically, all of the plurality of first rib portions 41 are arranged so as not to reach the edge side of the first portion 401 . Therefore, it is possible to obtain the effect of facilitating molding with sheet metal. Moreover, when the first rib portion 41 is arranged on the first portion 401 , the height between the second portion 402 and the first portion 401 is increased, so that the tall electronic component 2 is mounted on the substrate 1 . can be placed. As a result, it is possible to obtain the effect of improving the degree of freedom in arranging the electronic component 2 .
 実施の形態1の第1の変形例に係る電力変換装置100によれば、図8に示されるように、複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42の各々は、基板1(図1参照)とは反対側に向かって天板部40から突出している。このため、複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42と基板1(図1参照)との間隔を大きくすることができる。よって、電子部品2(図1参照)の配置および高さが複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42によって制限されることを抑制することができる。したがって、電子部品2(図1参照)の配置の自由度が向上する。 According to the power conversion device 100 according to the first modification of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, each of the plurality of first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42 is formed on the substrate 1 (FIG. 1 ) protrudes from the top plate portion 40 toward the opposite side. Therefore, it is possible to increase the distance between the plurality of first rib portions 41 and second rib portions 42 and the substrate 1 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the arrangement and height of electronic component 2 (see FIG. 1) from being restricted by the plurality of first rib portions 41 and second rib portions 42 . Therefore, the degree of freedom in arranging the electronic component 2 (see FIG. 1) is improved.
 実施の形態1の第2の変形例に係る電力変換装置100によれば、図10に示されるように、蓋4は、湾曲部45をさらに含んでいる。湾曲部45は、第1リブ部41に対して湾曲している。このため、湾曲部45と隣り合う第1リブ部41と湾曲部45との間隔は、第1リブ部41同士が隣り合っている場合の間隔よりも大きい。よって、蓋4が複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42のみを含んでいる場合よりも、筐体3内の背の高い電子部品2(図1参照)の配置の自由度が向上する。また、蓋4が複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42のみを含んでいる場合よりも、天板部40から突出した部分(リブ)の長さが湾曲部45によって長くなるため、蓋4の剛性がさらに高くなる。 According to power converter 100 according to the second modification of Embodiment 1, lid 4 further includes curved portion 45 as shown in FIG. The curved portion 45 is curved with respect to the first rib portion 41 . Therefore, the interval between the first rib portions 41 adjacent to the curved portion 45 and the curved portion 45 is larger than the interval when the first rib portions 41 are adjacent to each other. Therefore, compared with the case where the lid 4 includes only the plurality of first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42, the degree of freedom in arranging the tall electronic components 2 (see FIG. 1) in the housing 3 is improved. do. In addition, since the length of the portion (rib) protruding from the top plate portion 40 is longer due to the curved portion 45 than when the lid 4 includes only the plurality of first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42, The rigidity of the lid 4 is further increased.
 実施の形態1の第3の変形例に係る電力変換装置100によれば、図11に示されるように、蓋4は、折れ線部46をさらに含んでいる。折れ線部46は、第1リブ部41に接続されている。折れ線部46と折れ線部46が接続された第1リブ部41に隣接する第1リブ部41との間隔を小さくできるため、蓋4の剛性が向上する。また、蓋4が複数の第1リブ部41および第2リブ部42のみを含んでいる場合よりも、天板部40から突出した部分(リブ)の長さが折れ線部46によって長くなるため、蓋4の剛性がさらに高くなる。 According to the power conversion device 100 according to the third modification of the first embodiment, the lid 4 further includes a fold line portion 46, as shown in FIG. The bent line portion 46 is connected to the first rib portion 41 . Since the interval between the fold line portion 46 and the first rib portion 41 adjacent to the first rib portion 41 to which the fold line portion 46 is connected can be reduced, the rigidity of the lid 4 is improved. In addition, since the length of the portion (rib) protruding from the top plate portion 40 is longer due to the fold line portion 46 than when the lid 4 includes only the plurality of first rib portions 41 and the second rib portions 42, The rigidity of the lid 4 is further increased.
 実施の形態1の第4の変形例によれば、図12に示されるように、第2リブ部42の形状は、天板部40から基板1(図1参照)に向かう方向から見て矩形である。第2リブ部42の形状が矩形である場合、第2リブ部42の形状が当該矩形の長手寸法または短手寸法と同じ径を有し当該矩形に内接するする円形または楕円である場合よりも、第2リブ部42に囲まれた領域の面積が大きい。このため、第2リブ部42に囲まれた領域の下方に背の高い電子部品2(図1参照)を配置しやすい。すなわち、電子部品2(図1参照)の配置自由度が向上する。 According to the fourth modification of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the shape of the second rib portion 42 is rectangular when viewed from the top plate portion 40 toward the substrate 1 (see FIG. 1). is. When the shape of the second rib portion 42 is a rectangle, the second rib portion 42 is a circle or an ellipse having the same diameter as the long dimension or width dimension of the rectangle and inscribed in the rectangle. , the area surrounded by the second rib portion 42 is large. Therefore, it is easy to arrange a tall electronic component 2 (see FIG. 1) below the area surrounded by the second rib portions 42 . That is, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the electronic component 2 (see FIG. 1) is improved.
 実施の形態2.
 次に、図13を用いて、実施の形態2に係る電力変換装置100の構成を説明する。実施の形態2は、特に説明しない限り、上記の実施の形態1と同一の構成および作用効果を有している。したがって、上記の実施の形態1と同一の構成には同一の符号を付し、説明を繰り返さない。
Embodiment 2.
Next, the configuration of the power conversion device 100 according to Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 13 . The second embodiment has the same configuration and effects as those of the first embodiment unless otherwise specified. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as in the above-described first embodiment, and description thereof will not be repeated.
 図13に示されるように、本実施の形態に係る電力変換装置100の複数の第1リブ部41のうち隣り合う第1リブ部41同士は、第2リブ部42の中心に対して等角度で配置されている。このため、複数の第1リブ部41のうち隣り合う第1リブ部41同士がなす角の角度θは、他の隣り合う第1リブ部41同士がなす角θの角度と等しい。複数の第1リブ部41は、第2リブ部42の中心に対して点対称に配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 13 , adjacent first rib portions 41 among the plurality of first rib portions 41 of power converter 100 according to the present embodiment are equiangular with respect to the center of second rib portion 42 . are placed in Therefore, the angle θ formed by adjacent first rib portions 41 among the plurality of first rib portions 41 is equal to the angle θ formed by other adjacent first rib portions 41 .
