[0022] The following will refer to figure 1 and figure 2 A first embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, figure 1 Blowers are typically used in vehicle air conditioners.

[0023] The vehicle air conditioner includes a blower for blowing air and an air conditioning unit for cooling and / or heating the air blown by the blower. The conditioned air of the air conditioning unit is blown into the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The blower is usually located on the front passenger seat side next to the driver's seat under the dashboard, which is at the front of the passenger compartment.

[0024] The blower includes a housing 1 made of resin so as to form an air passage 1 a through which air is blown into a passenger compartment. A fan 2 for generating an air flow in the air passage 1 a is located in the fan housing 1 . The fan 2 can be made of resin, for example. The fan 2 includes a plurality of blades around a rotation axis, and...

[0038] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . In the second embodiment, the position of the motor control device 6 , the fixing method of the motor control device 6 and the fixing method of the heat sink 7 are different from those of the first embodiment described above. In the second embodiment, components having the same functions as those in the above-described first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0039] In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , the motor control device 6 is fixed to the heat sink 7 at a position separated from the yoke 31 . That is, the motor control device 6 is connected to the second plate 72 of the heat sink 7 at a position close to the heat sink 73 . Therefore, the heat generated by the motor control device 6 can be efficiently radiated into the air in the air passage 1 a via the heat sink 73 of the heat sink 7 . Even in the s...

[0042] A third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 4 . In the third embodiment, heat conduction fins (heat conduction fins) 9 are added to the structure of the blower. Other components having the same functions as those in the above-described first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0043] The thermally conductive sheet 9 is made of a thermally conductive material having a higher thermal conductivity than the heat sink 7 , and the heat sink 7 is tightly bonded to the thermally conductive sheet 9 . The motor control device 6 is attached to the thermally conductive sheet 9 so as to be tightly connected to the thermally conductive sheet 9 . Therefore, the heat generated by the motor control device 6 can be effectively transferred to the second board 72 having the cooling fins 73 via the heat conducting fins 9 . As a result, the heat generated by the motor control device 6 ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a blower and air regulator for vehicle, the blower includes a casing for defining an air passage through which air is blown into a compartment, a fan located in the casing to generate an air flow in the casing, a motor for driving the fan, a motor control device for controlling a rotation speed of the motor, and a heat sink located to radiate heat of the motor control device to air flowing in the air passage. The heat sink having a radiation fin is exposed into the air passage, and at least one of the motor control device and the heat sink is thermally connected to the yoke of the motor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a blower having a fan driven by a motor, and an air conditioner for a vehicle using the blower. Background technique [0002] In a conventional vehicle air conditioner, a motor control device for controlling the rotational speed of a motor and a heat sink are positioned in the air blowing passage such that heat generated by the motor control device is radiated to the air in the blowing passage through the heat sink. In this case, the heat radiation sheet of the heat sink needs to be increased when the heat generated by the motor control device is large. However, when the size of the heat radiation fins of the heat sink becomes larger, the amount of air blowing may be reduced or the air blowing noise may increase. [0003] Patent document JP-A-2004-140893 proposes a motor controller in which heat generated by a motor control device is diffused to a yoke of a motor. In this case, since the cooling capacity for cooling t...
