Publication number: 20260115983Abstract: The temperature control device of the disclosure includes: a pair of metal plates; a resin flow path wall part sandwiched between the pair of metal plates; and a resin fixing part fixing one of the pair of metal plates to the other metal plate. Regarding the resin flow path wall part, an internal flow path for circulating a heat exchange medium is formed by at least one of the pair of metal plates and the resin flow path wall part. The resin fixing part and the resin flow path wall part are fused together. The crystallinity of the resin flow path wall part is lower than the crystallinity of the resin fixing part. A difference between the crystallinity of the resin flow path wall part and the crystallinity of the resin fixing part is 3% or more.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2023Publication date: April 30, 2026Applicant: MITSUI CHEMICALS, INC.Inventors: Takahiro TOMINAGA, Kai MORIMOTO

Patent number: 12520453Abstract: An electrical device such as a power control apparatus comprises a case and at least one electrical component accommodated in the case. The case has a flow path for a cooling fluid. The flow path is formed between a bottom portion and a cover. The flow path is elongated generally along a U shape. The bottom portion and the cover are joined by welding. The cover is formed with protruding portions protruding into the flow path. The protruding portions have shapes to reduce stress concentration on welding portions. A stress caused by a pressure of the cooling fluid may acts on a distal end formed inside of the U shape in a concentration manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2024Date of Patent: January 6, 2026Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Shinichi Miura, Kai Morimoto, Hitoshi Imura, Gyokuto Mo

Patent number: 12342513Abstract: An electric power converter apparatus includes a case. The case includes a case main body and a lower cover. A recess is formed at a main body floor of the case main body and is covered with the lower cover to form a floor passage. The floor passage includes an upstream passage and a downstream passage. The lower cover includes joint plate portions, a passage plate portion and beads. The joint plate portions are arranged side by side in a width direction of the floor passage while the floor passage is interposed between the joint plate portions. The passage plate portion extends over the joint plate portions in the width direction of the floor passage. Each bead is formed between the passage plate portion and a corresponding one of the joint plate portions and extends in an intersecting direction that intersects the passage plate portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2023Date of Patent: June 24, 2025Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Shinichi Miura, Kai Morimoto

Publication number: 20250169039Abstract: The temperature control device of the disclosure is a temperature control device for controlling the temperature of at least one heat exchange object. This temperature control device includes: a first plate made of a metal; a second plate; a flow path wall part sandwiched between the first plate and the second plate; and a resin fixing part fixing the second plate to the first plate. An internal flow path for circulating a heat exchange medium is formed by at least one of the first plate or the second plate, and the flow path wall part. The first plate includes at least one connection region for thermally connecting the at least one heat exchange object thereto, at an outer main surface of a side at which the flow path wall part is not arranged. The resin fixing part covers a region of the outer main surface, excluding the at least one connection region.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2022Publication date: May 22, 2025Applicant: MITSUI CHEMICALS, INC.Inventors: Takahiro TOMINAGA, Kai MORIMOTO
