Power converter, inter-component connection system, and inter-component connection method

An inter-component connection system for connecting components of a power converter to each other, wherein the power converter includes:

• a first component in which one alignment key of a pair of first alignment keys is formed;
• a second component in which the other alignment key of the pair of first alignment keys is formed;
• and
• a plurality of pairs of fitting members each including:
• a male fitting member having an insertion portion;
• and
• a female fitting member having a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion arranged so as to face each other, wherein
• in each of the plurality of pairs of fitting members,
• the male fitting member is arranged on one of the first component and the second component, with the first alignment key as a reference position, and
• the female fitting member is arranged on the other of the first component and the second component, with the first alignment key as a reference position,
• the first component and the second component are coupled to each other by the female fitting member clamping the insertion portion of the male fitting member inserted between the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion in each of the plurality of pairs of fitting members in a state where the pair of first alignment keys are positionally aligned,
• the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are each bent so as to form one of protrusions toward one of surfaces thereof facing each other, and
• a gap is formed in a distal end portion of each of the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion,
• wherein the inter-component connection system comprises:
• a plurality of cameras that image the first component and the second component;
• a moving device that changes a relative position of the second component with respect to the first component;
• a memory;
• and
• a hardware processor coupled to the memory, the hardware processor being configured to:
• control the plurality of cameras and recognize each of the pair of first alignment keys;
• and
• control the moving device, and change a relative position of the second component with respect to the first component until the pair of first alignment keys are positionally aligned based on a recognition result of the pair of first alignment keys.
