  • Publication number: 20240136936
    Abstract: Provided are a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal being terminals of a capacitor element; a positive electrode conductor plate connected to the positive electrode terminal; a negative electrode conductor plate connected to the negative electrode terminal; and a power conversion module connected to the two conductor plates. The positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are formed along an arrangement direction of the capacitor element. The positive electrode conductor plate and the negative electrode conductor plate form a laminated conductor portion in which the positive electrode conductor plate and the negative electrode conductor plate have respective main surfaces disposed, to face the main surface of the capacitor element, and are laminated to each other.

  • Patent number: 11956933
    Abstract: No consideration is given to heat transferred from a semiconductor module to a capacitor via a bus bar module. The heat generated by a semiconductor module (1) is transferred to a bus bar module (3) via a DC terminal (1A) of the semiconductor module (1). As illustrated in FIG. 4(B), the heat transferred to the bus bar module 3 is then transferred to the pressing member 5 via the annular conductor 8 and the bolt 5A. Since the pressing member 5 is in close contact with the second cooler 2B, the heat transferred to the pressing member 5 is cooled by the second cooler 2B. On the other hand, the heat transferred to the convex portion 6A of the housing 6 is transferred to the first cooler 2A via the housing 6 and cooled. As a result, in the configuration in which a capacitor (4) is connected to the semiconductor module (1) via the bus bar module (3), the heat transferred from the semiconductor module (1) to the capacitor (4) can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 11458551
    Abstract: The present invention provides an end mill including: a shaft-shaped end mill main body; a chip discharge groove extending from a leading end to a trailing end in an axial direction of the end mill main body; a bottom blade which is provided at a leading end portion in the axial direction of the end mill main body and has a spherical shape in which a rotation locus around the axis has a center on the axis; and an outer peripheral blade which is provided along the chip discharge groove, and in which a rotation locus around the axis is convex outward. A curvature radius of the rotation locus of the outer peripheral blade is larger than a curvature radius of the rotation locus of the bottom blade. A twist angle of the outer peripheral blade is 20° or more.
