Publication number: 20240051192Abstract: A cover (5) of an electronic device has side walls (8) and a ceiling wall (9), and is molded by injection molding using a mold. The ceiling wall (9) has a flat plate shape. Disk-shaped thick portions (21) that locally protrude inward so as to be relatively thicker than an adjacent normal portion of the ceiling wall (9) are provided at a plurality of positions of the ceiling wall (9) corresponding to respective positions of ejection by ejection pins (25). Although a circular dent (22) is formed at a middle of the thick portion (21) due to the thick portion (21) being pressed by a tip of the ejection pin (25), even at this dent (22) portion, a thickness equal to or greater than that of the normal portion of the ceiling wall (9) is secured.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: Hitachi Astemo, Ltd.Inventors: Yudai MIYAZAWA, Kumiko YOSHINAGA, Kentaro YAMANAKA

Patent number: 11757336Abstract: A wiring board (3) has first and second rigid sections (11, 12) each having six metal leaf layers, and a flexible section (13) having two metal leaf layers that connect the both rigid sections (11, 12). A capacitor unit (34) and a filter unit 31, which supplies power to an inverter, are mounted on the first rigid section (11), and a CPU (21) and a pre-driver circuit element (22) are mounted on the second rigid section (12). Mutually-independent two control systems are arranged so as to be symmetrical about a board center line (M). Detection signal lines (51) of rotation sensors (37, 38) located at the middle of the first rigid section (11) extend along the board center line (M) on the flexible section (13). Each of the two control systems is configured along a wiring direction of the detection signal lines (51).Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: HITACHI ASTEMO, LTD.Inventors: Tetsurou Tateyama, Kumiko Yoshinaga, Eiji Ichikawa, Hirofumi Watanabe, Mototaka Takahashi

Publication number: 20230269913Abstract: An electronic device and an electronic device manufacturing method according to the present invention include, as a mode thereof, a substrate on which an element that produces heat, which is rectangular, is mounted, a radiator member disposed at a position facing the element that produces heat, and a heat conductive material filling a gap between the element that produces heat and the radiator member. The radiator member includes a rectangular frame that surrounds an arrangement region of the heat conductive material in a position of a surface facing the element that produces heat outside a peripheral edge of the element that produces heat, and has a cutout in at least one of four corners of the frame. With this configuration, when assembling the substrate onto the radiator member, excess heat conductive material flows out of the frame from the cutout.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Applicant: HITACHI ASTEMO, LTD.Inventor: Kumiko YOSHINAGA

Publication number: 20220332056Abstract: A caulking pin (15) is inserted into a mounting hole (21) provided in a metal case body (3), and the end portion of the caulking pin (15) is thermally caulked with a welding tip (24) to form a mold forming portion (17). A surplus absorption recess (31) is formed by enlarging the opening end of the mounting hole (21), and surplus resin is absorbed. The surplus absorption recess (31) is positioned inside a region of the mold forming portion (17). Therefore, the amount of molten surplus resin that protrudes outward from the welding tip (24) in the thermal caulking process is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: HITACHI ASTEMO, LTD.Inventors: Kumiko YOSHINAGA, Satoshi UCHIDA

Patent number: 11419208Abstract: A circuit board (3) is provided with a first rigid part (11) having a power system electronic component mounted thereon, a second rigid part (12) having a control system electronic component mounted thereon, and a thin flexible part (13) connecting the first and second rigid parts to each other. The flexible part (13) is provided with a plurality of conductive wires (27) conducted with the electronic components of the first and second rigid parts (11, 12). A non-conductive metal pattern (33) that is a dummy pattern is formed along an outer edge (13a) of the flexible part (13). By the non-conductive metal pattern (33), the disconnection of the conductive wires (27) due to cracking is suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: HITACHI ASTEMO, LTD.Inventors: Kumiko Yoshinaga, Eiji Ichikawa, Hirofumi Watanabe, Mototaka Takahashi
