Abstract

An electrical junction box 1 includes: a metallic substrate 24 ; a relay 25 mounted on a surface of the metallic substrate 24 , and arranged lower than the metallic substrate 24 ; an upper cover 4 covering the metallic substrate 24 , and arranged upper than the metallic substrate 24 ; a hole 17 opening on a surface of a ceiling wall 7 arranged parallel to the metallic substrate 24 of the upper cover 4 ; and a heat introducing tube 18 continued to an inner edge of the hole 17 , and penetrating the metallic substrate 24.

Claims (14)

1. An electrical junction box comprising:

a printed wiring board of which a surface is arranged along a horizontal direction;

an electric component mounted on the surface of the printed wiring board, and arranged lower than the printed wiring board in a vertical direction;

an upper cover covering the printed wiring board, and arranged over the printed wiring board;

a hole, opening on a surface of an outer wall of the upper cover, penetrating the upper cover, and arranged parallel to the printed wiring board; and

a heat-introducing wall integrally formed with the upper cover, continued to an inner edge of the hole formed on an inner surface of the upper cover, and penetrating the printed wiring board for guiding heat generated by the electric component into the hole.

2. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heat-introducing wall is provided on a whole circumference of the inner edge of the hole.

3. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising: a lower cover overlapped with a lower side of the upper cover along a direction perpendicular to the printed wiring board, and attached to the upper cover, said lower cover being provided with a through-hole opening on the surface of an outer wall of the lower cover arranged parallel to the printed wiring board.

4. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising: a lower cover overlapped with a lower side of the upper cover along a direction perpendicular to the printed wiring board, and attached to the upper cover, said lower cover being provided with a through-hole opening on the surface of the outer wall arranged parallel to the printed wiring board.

5. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising: a heat-insulating layer provided on the surface on which the electric component is mounted on the printed wiring board.

6. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising: a heat-insulating layer provided on the surface on which the electric component is mounted on the printed wiring board.

7. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising: a heat-insulating layer provided on the surface on which the electric component is mounted on the printed wiring board.

8. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising: a heat-insulating layer provided on the surface on which the electric component is mounted on the printed wiring board.

9. The electrical junction box as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a tip of the heat-introducing wall furthest away from the outer wall of the upper cover is arranged closer to the lower cover than the printed wiring board.
