A power conversion device includes a plurality of semiconductor modules, a plurality of coolers, and a frame. The frame pressurizes and holds a stacked body in which the semiconductor modules and the coolers are alternately stacked. The frame includes a first frame and a second frame that sandwich the stacked body therebetween. The first frame is a plate material bent to surround the stacked body from three directions, and includes a pair of side walls extending in the stacking direction of the stacked body, and an abutting wall extending between the side walls and abutting the stacked body. The abutting wall is bent outward from the frame. Each of the side walls is bent inward from the frame.

Power conversion device and manufacturing method thereof

A fuel pump which can suppress fuel bubbles from being sucked into a fuel pressure chamber, and can achieve a stable fuel pressure property. The fuel pump has a pump body formed with a suction passage and a pump operation chamber, and a pressure pump mechanism to pressurize and discharge fuel. The pump body has a lower side wall portion and an upper side wall portion respectively at the vertically lower and upper sides of the inner wall portion forming a suction gallery chamber partly forming the suction passage. The pressure pump mechanism has a valve retaining member having an insertion portion inserted into the suction gallery chamber. The insertion portion has internal suction inlets through which the fuel is sucked from the suction gallery chamber into the pump operation chamber, the internal suction inlets being positioned in the intermediate height area in the suction gallery chamber.

A surface magnet type motor having a magnet at a surface of a rotor includes an anti-scattering tube formed in a cylindrical configuration longer in length than the magnet of the rotor in the axial direction, having the magnet press-fitted inside to prevent scattering of the magnet. A stress alleviation portion is provided to alleviate stress generated at an end of the magnet press-fitted into the anti-scattering tube.

A high pressure pump includes a cylinder body. The cylinder body has a cylinder and a valve recess communicated with the cylinder. A cover is attached to the cylinder body to surround the valve recess. A plunger reciprocates in the cylinder. An electromagnetic valve has a pressurizing chamber, a valve hole connected to the pressurizing chamber and a valve body. The valve body selectively opens and closes the valve hole. The electromagnetic valve is fixed to the cover. When fluid is pressurized in the pressurizing chamber, the valve hole is closed by the valve body and the plunger enters the pressurizing chamber. A seal ring is located between an outer surface of the electromagnetic valve and an inner surface of the valve recess. The seal ring seals the pressurizing chamber. This reliably seals a pressurizing chamber and improves the displacement efficiency.

High pressure pump

An apparatus for controlling a clutch of a motor vehicle connected to an engine and having a driving and a driven rotating member. The apparatus is capable of controlling an amount of slip of the clutch during starting of the vehicle. The apparatus includes: an engine torque determining device for determining a torque of the engine; a clutch speed monitoring device for determining whether a speed of the driven rotating member has been raised to a level substantially equal to a speed of the engine; a first slip control device for controlling the amount of slip of the clutch such that a clutch torque to be transmitted through the clutch is smaller than the engine torque by a predetermined amount, before the clutch speed monitoring device determines that the speed of the driven rotating member has been raised to the level equal to the engine speed; and a fully engaging device for fully engaging the clutch when the clutch speed monitoring device determines that the speed of the driven rotating member has been raised to the level.
