Abstract
An inverter includes a case, and the case includes an upper case and a lower case attached to a bottom surface side of the upper case. The upper case includes a flange portion constituting an attachment portion of the lower case, and a connector connecting portion to which a connector is connected. The connector connecting portion includes an outer wall portion that forms an outer wall of the connector connecting portion. At least a part of the flange portion and at least a part of the outer wall portion are disposed so as to overlap each other in a direction in which the connector connecting portion and the structure face each other.
Claims11
An inverter disposed so as to face a structure mounted on a vehicle, the inverter comprising:
- a case, wherein:
- the case includes an upper case and a lower case attached to a bottom surface side of the upper case,
- the upper case includes a flange portion that extends peripherally around the upper case and constitutes an attachment portion that is attached to the lower case, and a connector connecting portion provided on a side of the upper case and configured to connect to a connector,
- the connector connecting portion includes an outer wall portion that protrudes from the side of the upper case and has a cylindrical shape,
- at least a part of the flange portion and at least a part of the outer wall portion are disposed so as to overlap each other in a direction in which the connector connecting portion and the structure face each other,
- an opening end of the connector connecting portion and the flange portion are integrally formed in the direction in which the connector connecting portion and the structure face each other, and
- the connector connecting portion includes a rib formed in a circumferential direction along and protruding from an outer peripheral surface of the outer wall portion.
An inverter disposed so as to face a structure mounted on a vehicle, the inverter comprising:

- the case includes an upper case and a lower case attached to a bottom surface side of the upper case,
- the upper case includes a flange portion that extends peripherally around the upper case and constitutes an attachment portion that is attached to the lower case, and a connector connecting portion provided on a side of the upper case and configured to connect to a connector,
- the connector connecting portion includes an outer wall portion that protrudes from the side of the upper case and has a cylindrical shape, wherein the outer wall portion and the structure facing each other in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the outer wall portion is inclined obliquely downward such that, in case of a collision of the vehicle, the structure comes into contact with the outer wall portion at an acute contact angle,
- an opening end of the connector connecting portion is integrally formed with the flange portion so as to overlap each other in the front-rear direction, and
- the connector connecting portion includes a rib formed in a circumferential direction along and protruding from an outer peripheral surface of the outer wall portion so as to bulge outward.
