Abstract

Winding components, each being formed by winding a coil around and along an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface of a ring-shaped core a plurality of times, are fixed to a case. An attachment structure includes a placing member made of an insulating material and fixed to a fixing surface of the case in a state where a lower surface of the winding component is placed, a pressing member made of an insulating material and disposed to abut on an upper surface of the winding component, and a pressing force imparting portion that couples the placing member with the pressing member and imparts a pressing force toward the fixing surface, from the pressing member to the winding component, and in the pressing force imparting portion, a distance between the placing member and the pressing member is variable in accordance with a height change of the winding component.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A winding component attachment structure in which a winding component is fixed to a case, the winding component being formed by winding a coil around and along an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface of a ring-shaped core a plurality of times, the attachment structure comprising:
a placing member made of an insulating material and fixed to a fixing surface of the case in a state where a lower surface of the winding component is placed;
a pressing member made of an insulating material and disposed to abut on an upper surface of the winding component; and
a pressing force imparting portion that couples the placing member with the pressing member and imparts a pressing force toward the fixing surface, from the pressing member to the winding component,
wherein in the pressing force imparting portion, a distance between the placing member and the pressing member is variable in accordance with a height change of the winding component, and
a part of the lower surface of the winding component is placed on the placing member, and the winding component is pressed and fixed to a side of the fixing surface in a state where a cushioning material that absorbs a vibration transmitted to the case is sandwiched between the residual part of the lower surface of the winding component and the fixing surface.

2. The winding component attachment structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pressing force imparting portion comprises an external thread portion disposed in one of the placing member and the pressing member to extend toward the other member, and an internal thread portion disposed in the other member of the placing member and the pressing member and screwed into the one external thread portion; and a distance between the placing member and the pressing member is variable by changing a screwing position of the external thread portion into the internal thread portion.

3. The winding component attachment structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the placing member comprises a lower positioning portion that projects upward to be inserted into a hollow portion of the winding component from a lower opening, and
the pressing member comprises an upper positioning portion that projects downward to be inserted into the hollow portion of the winding component from an upper opening.

4. The winding component attachment structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least two winding components are disposed in the form of a row on the placing member, and
the pressing force imparting portion is disposed between the two adjacent winding components.

5. The winding component attachment structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pressing force imparting portion has a function of positioning the winding component by passing through the hollow portion of the winding component.

6. The winding component attachment structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the cushioning material is a member excellent in thermal conductivity.

7. A power conversion device which is provided with the winding component attachment structure according to claim 1 .
