Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A power converter to be mounted to a mounting portion of a host in a suspended manner includes a plurality of component-housing chassis configured to be connected together parallel to the mounting portion, the plurality of component-housing chassis each containing parts for a power converter so that the plurality of component-housing chassis collectively constitute the power converter for the host, wherein at least one of the plurality of component-housing chassis has a support frame, the support frame protruding out so as to extend into at least an adjacent one of the component-housing chassis, wherein the at least adjacent one of the component-housing chassis has an insertion hole for inserting the support frame, and wherein the support frame is configured to be inserted into the insertion hole in the adjacent component-housing chassis and fixed to the adjacent component-housing chassis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A power converter to be mounted to a mounting portion of a host in a suspended manner, comprising: a plurality of separate and distinct component-housing chassis configured to be connected together parallel to the mounting portion, the plurality of component-housing chassis each enclosing and containing parts for a power converter so that the plurality of component-housing chassis, when connected together, collectively constitute the power converter for the host, wherein at least one of the plurality of component-housing chassis has a support frame, the support frame protruding out so as to extend into at least an adjacent one of the component-housing chassis, wherein said at least adjacent one of the component-housing chassis has an insertion hole for inserting the support frame, and wherein the support frame is configured to be inserted into the insertion hole in the adjacent component-housing chassis and fixed to the adjacent component-housing chassis, and wherein the support frame includes a bar having a lipped channel-shaped cross-sectional shape, and wherein the insertion hole includes a fitted protrusion which fits into a channel portion of the bar. 2. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the support frame extends to an inner end face of the adjacent component-housing chassis on a side opposite to said at least one of the plurality of component-housing chassis, with a cover plate portion being formed on an end face of the support frame. 3. The power converter according to claim 2 , wherein a fixing portion that fixes the support frame to the adjacent component-housing chassis is formed in the cover plate portion. 4. The power converter according to claim 3 , wherein the fixing portion is a through hole for inserting a blind rivet. 5. The power converter according to claim 3 , wherein a holding fixture is attached to both a first surface facing the mounting portion and a second surface adjoining the first surface of at least one of the plurality of component-housing chassis. 6. The power converter according to claim 1 , wherein the support frame and the adjacent component-housing chassis are configured to be fastened with each other using blind rivets.
