  • Patent number: 12178000
    Abstract: An electric compressor includes an inverter portion that includes a circuit board, a busbar fixed to the inverter housing and connecting an external power supply to the circuit board, a noise reduction circuit mounted on the circuit board, a first fastener fastening the circuit board to the inverter housing, and a second fastener fastening the busbar to the circuit board. The circuit board includes a first fastening hole through which the first fastener is inserted, a second fastening hole that is disposed adjacent to the first fastening hole and through which the second fastener is inserted, and a slit extending between the first fastening hole and the second fastening hole from a peripheral edge of the circuit board. The first fastener electrically connects the circuit board as a ground of the noise reduction circuit to the inverter housing.

  • Publication number: 20240329086
    Abstract: A substrate includes first connection patterns, a first aggregation pattern, second connection patterns, and a second aggregation pattern. The first connection patterns are respectively provided for first terminals of shunt resistors and electrically connected to the first terminals. The first aggregation pattern extends in an arrangement direction of the shunt resistors and aggregates the first connection patterns. The first aggregation pattern is electrically connected to a first end of a first sensing pattern and has a wider pattern width than the first sensing pattern. The second connection patterns are respectively provided for second terminals of the shunt resistors and electrically connected to the second terminals. The second aggregation pattern extends in the arrangement direction and aggregates the second connection patterns. The second aggregation pattern is electrically connected to a first end of a second sensing pattern and has a wider pattern width than the second sensing pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240052819
    Abstract: A motor-driven compressor for a vehicle includes a control device and a detection circuit. The detection circuit includes an AD conversion circuit. The AD conversion circuit converts an on-voltage from an analog signal to a digital signal. The control device is configured to determine that a battery is in an overvoltage state and stop the motor-driven compressor for the vehicle when a value of the on-voltage detected from the digital signal is larger than an overvoltage determination threshold value.
