Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An inverter case is provided on a transaxle of a vehicle so as to be inclined downward toward a vehicle front side, and the inverter case includes: a refrigerant passage connection portion provided on a front side surface of the inverter case in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the refrigerant passage connection portion having a shaft seal structure; a refrigerant passage member disposed on the front side surface of the inverter case and connected to the refrigerant passage connection portion by the shaft seal structure; and a projecting portion provided on an upper part of the front side surface of the inverter case, the projecting portion being configured such that a front side end of the projecting portion is placed at the vehicle front side relative to a front side end of the refrigerant passage member in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An inverter case provided on a transaxle of a vehicle so as to be inclined downward toward a vehicle front side, the inverter case comprising: a refrigerant passage connection portion provided on a front side surface of the inverter case in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the refrigerant passage connection portion having a shaft seal structure; a refrigerant passage member disposed on the front side surface of the inverter case and connected to the refrigerant passage connection portion by the shaft seal structure; and a projecting portion provided on an upper part of the front side surface of the inverter case, the projecting portion being configured such that a front side end of the projecting portion is placed at the vehicle front side relative to a front side end of the refrigerant passage member in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. 2 . The inverter case according to claim 1 , wherein: the refrigerant passage member is configured to introduce, into the inverter case, refrigerant flowing outside from the inverter case. 3 . The inverter case according to claim 1 , wherein: an outside diameter of the refrigerant passage member connected to the refrigerant passage connection portion is smaller than an inside diameter of a refrigerant passage pipe provided inside the inverter case and the refrigerant passage pipe is connected to the refrigerant passage connection portion. 4 . The inverter case according to claim 1 , wherein: a position of the front side end of the projecting portion is generally aligned with a position of a front side end of the transaxle when viewed from a vertical direction.
