Patrick J. Riley - Galena OH, US
Jeremy J. Keegan - Kawaskum WI, US

Assignee:

Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc. - Mayfield Heights OH

International Classification:

H05K 7/20

US Classification:

3616795, 361690, 361695, 36167948, 36167949, 361692, 361678

Abstract:

The present disclosure is generally directed to efficiently cooling converter and inverter components of a drive system. Present techniques relate to a motor drive duct system that facilitates efficient cooling and access to motor drive components. The motor drive duct system includes duct channel paths that are parallel and adjacent to one another. The duct system includes a converter section that houses a converter heat sink, an inverter section that houses an inverter heat sink, an exhaust section, and an air inlet section. The converter section and the inverter section are configured to be attached and detached from each other at end sections that are angled to receive one another. Further, the inverter section, converter section, and air inlet section are configured to roll into and out of a cabinet, which facilitates access to field wiring.

Abstract:

The present invention relates generally to tuning the flow of cooling air across converter and inverter heat sinks in a motor drive system. More specifically, present techniques relate to motor drive duct systems having parallel cooling air duct channels dedicated to providing cooling air for a converter heat sink and an inverter heat sink, respectively. In particular, a first duct channel through an inverter duct and a converter duct is dedicated to providing cooling air to the converter heat sink without cooling the inverter heat sink, whereas a second duct channel through the inverter duct and the converter duct is dedicated to providing cooling air to the inverter heat sink without cooling the converter heat sink.

Appl. No.:

7/540676

Inventors:

Patrick F. Riley - Willoughby OH

International Classification:

A01K 8500

US Classification:

43 4206

Abstract:

An artificial fish bait formed of a natural blend of freeze-dried natural food normally providing a food source for the fish, fish oil, and a nontoxic phosphorescent material which emits light after exposure to light. The phosphorescent material emits light to attract fish and the fish oil and natural blend provide a scent to attract fish.
