  • Publication number: 20230307995
    Abstract: A fuse circuit element (32) of a fuse module 22 for fail-safe is mounted on a fuse circuit board (31), and connected to wire terminal portions (36) made of respective wire one ends of stator coils. The fuse circuit board (31) has, as main terminals (33), through holes (33a) and land portions (33b), and the wire terminal portions (36) are soldered or welded with the wire terminal portions (36) inserted into the through holes (33a). The fuse circuit board (31) is supported in a cantilever manner by a pedestal portion (52) , and a space (53) is secured between the fuse circuit board (31) and a surface (51) of a housing (7) around the main terminals (33). With this, soldering or welding can be performed without heat escaping during soldering or welding by the space (53).

  • Publication number: 20230299647
    Abstract: A stator (1B) has stator coils (U1, V1 and W1) of a first system and stator coils (U2, V2 and W2) of a second system, and the coils are supplied with power from inverter modules (21). A fuse module (22) has two fuse circuit elements (32) corresponding to respective systems. Phase lines of U, V and W of each fuse circuit element (32) are connected together at a neutral point (40), and a fuse (38) is interposed between the neutral point (40) and each coil. By supplying power to a heater (39) accommodated in the fuse circuit element (32) from a control terminal (34), the fuse (38) is blown out.

  • Patent number: 9480189
    Abstract: A heat-generating component (3) is mounted on a surface (4b), on a case (12) side, of a circuit board (4). A recessed portion (5) is formed in a position facing the heat-generating component (3), on an inner wall surface (12e) side of a bottom wall (12a) of the case (12). Between an inner wall surface (5a) of this recessed portion (5) and the heat-generating component (3), a predetermined-sized component clearance (Ca) is provided, and a heat radiation member (6) is interposed in a position of the component clearance (Ca). A peripheral clearance (Cb) is provided between the surface (4b), on the case (12) side, of the circuit board (4) and the inner wall surface (12e) of the bottom wall (12a) of the case (12) on a peripheral edge side of the recessed portion (5).
