Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A capacitor arrangement structure includes a casing, a housing, and a heat sink. The casing accommodates a capacitor. The casing includes a casing bottom. The housing includes a bottom wall. The housing has a height from the bottom wall which includes an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface in a height direction. The casing is mounted on the inner surface so that the casing bottom opposes a mounting surface in the inner surface. The heat sink includes a heat sink top. The heat sink is provided on the outer surface of the bottom wall not to overlap the casing viewed along the height direction. The heat sink top opposes the outer surface. A distance between the casing bottom and the mounting surface in the height direction is smaller than a distance between the heat sink top and the mounting surface in the height direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A capacitor arrangement structure comprising: a casing to accommodate a capacitor, the casing including a casing bottom; a housing including a bottom wall and having a height from the bottom wall which includes an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface in a height direction along the height, the casing being mounted on the inner surface so that the casing bottom opposes a mounting surface in the inner surface; a heat sink including a heat sink top and provided on the outer surface of the bottom wall not to overlap the casing viewed along the height direction, the heat sink top opposing the outer surface; and a distance between the casing bottom and the mounting surface in the height direction being smaller than a distance between the heat sink top and the mounting surface in the height direction. 2. The capacitor arrangement structure according to claim 1 , wherein the casing bottom surface is contacting with the inner surface via a heat radiation sheet. 3. The capacitor arrangement structure according to claim 1 , wherein a cooling passage through which a cooling medium flows is disposed inside the housing and the cooling passage is located at a position higher than the casing bottom surface of the casing. 4. The capacitor arrangement structure according to claim 3 , wherein the casing is surrounded by the cooling passage. 5. The capacitor arrangement structure according to claim 4 , wherein the cooling passage is formed in the housing.
