Abstract
A cooling structure includes a flow path configuration member including resin and forming a flow path through which a refrigerant flows, in which the flow path includes a protrusion that protrudes in a direction outside of the flow path from an inner wall at an upstream side in a direction in which the refrigerant flows, and a rectifier that rectifies the direction in which the refrigerant flows toward the protrusion.
Claims19
A cooling structure, comprising:
- a flow path configuration member made of resin and forming a flow path through which a refrigerant flows, wherein the flow path includes a protrusion that protrudes in a direction outside of the flow path from an inner wall at an upstream side in a direction in which the refrigerant flows, and a rectifier that rectifies the direction in which the refrigerant flows toward the protrusion;
- a cooling target disposed on a part of an outer wall on a side of the flow path configuration member to directly or indirectly contact a wall of the flow path configuration member at an upstream side of the protrusion and to directly or indirectly contact at least a part of a side wall of the protrusion so that the cooling target can be cooled by refrigerant flowing through the protrusion;
- a metal layer provided on at least a part of an outer wall of the flow path configuration member on a side of the flow path configuration member opposite to the side on which the cooling target is disposed, wherein the metal layer includes zinc and is configured to shield a magnetic field generated from the cooling target;
- and
- a further metal layer provided on at least a part of the outer wall of the flow path configuration member between the cooling target and the flow path configuration member,
- wherein the cooling target is in indirect contact with the wall of the flow path configuration member at an upstream side of the protrusion and with at least a part of the side wall of the protrusion via the further metal layer, and wherein the further metal layer is in contact with at least a part of the cooling target.
