Abstract

Including a storage box for accommodating a printed circuit board having a heat sink, an aluminum plate for closing an opening part of the storage box, and a rubber bush for supporting the printed circuit board from an opposite side of the opening part, the heat sink and the aluminum plate are brought to contact with each other by way of the insulating sheet, so that the heat of the heat sink may be transmitted to the aluminum plate, and released.

Claims (22)

1. An electronic circuit device for a compressor comprising:

a printed circuit board having an electronic component and a heat sink for transmitting heat of the electronic component;

a storage box having an opening part for accommodating the printed circuit board;

an aluminum plate for closing the opening part of the storage box;

a rubber bush disposed in a bottom part of the storage box, for supporting the printed circuit board from an opposite side of the opening part; and

an insulating sheet disposed between the heat sink and the aluminum plate,

wherein the heat sink, the insulating sheet and the aluminum plate contact with each other.

2. The electronic circuit device for the compressor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rubber bush is formed in a tubular shape having a hollow part,

the printed circuit board has a circuit board mounting hole,

the storage box has a protruding part projecting from the bottom part toward the opening part, and

the hollow part of the rubber bush and the circuit board mounting hole of the printed circuit board are both inserted into the protruding part of the storage box.

3. The electronic circuit device for the compressor according to claim 2 ,

wherein the printed circuit board further has a circuit board mounting screw hole, and the storage box further has a screw receiving part in its bottom part, and

the printed circuit board and the storage box are fixed by a screw at one position only by making use of the printed circuit board mounting screw hole and the screw receiving part.

4. The electronic circuit device for the compressor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the aluminum plate has a plurality of protruding parts disposed at a side facing an inner side of the storage box, and

an insulating sheet is disposed in a range surrounded by the protruding parts.

5. The electronic circuit device for the compressor according to claim 1 ,

wherein a heat conductive adhesive is applied between the insulating sheet and the heat sink.

6. The electronic circuit device for the compressor according to claim 1 ,

wherein a heat diffusion compound is applied between the insulating sheet and the aluminum plate.
