Case of electric apparatus and manufacturing method therefor

A manufacturing method for a case of an electric apparatus, the method comprising:

• an assembly process in which two or more case members are combined with each other while an electric apparatus is contained therein and an uncured two-liquid-mixed sealing material is filled into a gap formed in a junction portion where the two or more case members are joined to each other;
• and
• a heating process in which the sealing material filled in the assembly process is heated,
• wherein in the heating process, heating is performed to such an extent that all of the sealing material is not completely cured,
• wherein after the heating process, there is implemented an air-leak check process in which an air-leak check is applied to the gap into which the sealing material is filled, and
• wherein the sealing material is a two-liquid-mixed addition-reaction-curable sealing material that is curable at a temperature of 25° C., is thermally curable by the heating in the heating process, and includes a platinum catalyst,
• wherein as the gap, an inner gap and an outer gap that is provided outside the inner gap and opens toward the outside are formed,
• wherein the heating process, radiant heat of a heater is radiated onto a surface of a filled portion of the sealing material filled in the outer gap, from outside of the junction portion,
• wherein in the heating process, a heating time is set to such an extent that an outer side surface portion of the sealing material is completely cured, but an inner side depth of the sealing material is not completely cured,
• wherein the inner gap is formed of a metal component to which heat of heat-generating members of one or both of a motor and a motor control apparatus, as the electronic apparatus, is transferred,
• wherein heat of one or both of a coil of the motor and a power module that is included in the motor control apparatus and is provided with a switching device is transferred to the metal component, and
• wherein after the air-leak check process, or between the heating process and the air-leak check process, or between the assembly process and the heating process, there is implemented an operation test process in which an operation test is applied to the motor and the motor control apparatus, and the inner side depth is cured by heat of the metal component heated by the operation test.
