  • Publication number: 20220173626
    Abstract: Provided is an electric compressor in which there are fewer instances of a magnetic force line being blocked more than necessary by a through-hole for a bolt, the number of components and number of machining steps do not increase as much, and the degree of adhesion of a laminated steel plate can be increased to ensure stiffness. A stator has a stator core (35) configured by laminating a plurality of electromagnetic steel plates in an axial direction, the electromagnetic steel plates having a substantial ring shape as seen from the axial direction. As seen from the axial direction, a plurality of through-holes (40) are formed through the stator core (35) in the lamination direction of the electromagnetic steel plates, on the same circle centered around the axis line, and as seen from the axial direction, a first arc length (L1) or a second arc length (L2) longer than the first arc length (L1) is set as each arc length between through-holes (40) adjacent in the circumferential direction.

  • Publication number: 20220170484
    Abstract: A compressor (100) comprises a compressor body (10), a pipe (20) connected to the compressor body (10), and an acoustic cover disposed so as to surround the compressor body (10). The acoustic cover (30) has an insertion hole (31) through which the pipe (20) is inserted while being in close contact with the pipe (20), and an inner surface (30A) of the acoustic cover has a shape that traces an outer surface (10A) of the compressor body (10). Due to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the size and the weight of the acoustic cover (30), and by using the acoustic cover (30) with a simpler structure, it is possible to reduce the noise of the compressor (100) of this automobile air conditioning device.

  • Publication number: 20190001785
    Abstract: The present invention enhances quietness in a passenger compartment of a vehicle by reducing the volume of refrigerant flowing noise emitted from an evaporator provided within a unit case. A vehicle air conditioner (1) includes a unit case (2) incorporated in a dashboard of a vehicle, an air flow path (3) formed in an interior of the unit case (2), an evaporator (4) provided inside the air flow path (3), and a connecting member (16A) configured to connect a portion of the evaporator (4) that is located near a central portion thereof in a surface direction to a structure (a front panel (2b)) of the unit case (2). The connecting member (16A) may be a biasing member that biases the portion of the evaporator (4) that is located near the central portion thereof in the surface direction in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the evaporator (4).
