Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a power conversion device capable of reducing an influence of electromagnetic noise propagating from a circuit body toward a drive circuit board. A power conversion device 100 of the present invention includes a circuit body 6 that converts a direct current into an alternating current, a drive circuit board 5 that drives the circuit body 6 , a base member 4 provided between the circuit body 6 and the drive circuit board 5 , and a case 1 that houses the circuit body 6 and the base member 4 . The base member 4 includes a first flow channel forming portion 4 A that forms a flow channel space 1 C 1 between the circuit body 6 and the base member 4 , and a first extending portion 4 B 2 extending from the flow channel forming portion 4 A and connected to an inner surface of the case 1.

Claims (22)

1. A power conversion device comprising:

a circuit body that converts a direct current into an alternating current;

a drive circuit board that drives the circuit body;

a base member provided between the circuit body and the drive circuit board; and

a case that houses the circuit body and the base member,

wherein the base member includes a first flow channel forming portion that forms a flow channel space between the circuit body and the base member, and

a first extending portion extending from the first flow channel forming portion and connected to an inner surface of the case.

2. The power conversion device according to claim 1 , wherein the first extending portion includes a fixing portion fixed to the case by a fixing member, and a contact portion that is different from the fixing portion and is in contact with the inner surface of the case.

3. The power conversion device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit body includes a signal terminal that receives a drive signal from the drive circuit board,

the base member includes a second extending portion extending from the first flow channel forming portion to the vicinity of the signal terminal, and

a through hole through which the signal terminal passes is formed in the second extending portion.

4. The power conversion device according to claim 1 , wherein the case includes a second flow channel forming portion that forms a flow channel space between the circuit body and the case.

5. The power conversion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a filter circuit that passes the direct current,

wherein the base member includes a third extending portion extending from the first flow channel forming portion so as to separate the drive circuit board and a space where the filter circuit is arranged.

6. The power conversion device according to claim 2 , further comprising a filter circuit that passes the direct current,

wherein the base member includes a third extending portion extending from the first flow channel forming portion so as to separate the drive circuit board and a space where the filter circuit is arranged.

7. The power conversion device according to claim 3 , further comprising a filter circuit that passes the direct current,

wherein the base member includes a third extending portion extending from the first flow channel forming portion so as to separate the drive circuit board and a space where the filter circuit is arranged.

8. The power conversion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a signal connector coupled to the drive circuit board,

wherein the signal connector extends from the drive circuit board through an opening in the case.

9. The power conversion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a power semiconductor, the power semiconductor including a current conversion circuit, a first fin base, a second fin base, and a plurality of signal terminals,

wherein each of the plurality of signal terminals extends orthogonally from the first fin base.
