Relay cooling device
A relay cooling device includes a container, a liquid coolant that is stored in the container, and a relay that is immersed in the liquid coolant.
1. A relay cooling device comprising:
a container;
a liquid coolant stored in the container; and
a relay immersed in the liquid coolant,
wherein the relay has
a relay unit, and
a case in which the relay unit is accommodated,
the relay unit has
a fixed contact,
a movable member that has a movable contact that is capable of coming into contact with the fixed contact,
a coil arranged so as to surround a core, and
a spring that biases the movable member in a direction of moving toward the fixed contact,
the case has
a coil housing chamber that accommodates the coil, and
a contact housing chamber that is separated from the coil housing chamber by a dividing wall, and accommodates at least the fixed contact and the movable member, and
a through-hole is provided in the coil housing chamber.
2. The relay cooling device according to claim 1 ,
further comprising a flow generation means that causes the liquid coolant in the container to flow.
3. The relay cooling device according to claim 2 ,
wherein
a pipe through which the liquid coolant flows is connected to the container, and the flow generation means is a pump that is connected to the pipe.
4. The relay cooling device according to claim 2 ,
wherein
the liquid coolant is electrically insulating.
