  • Patent number: 7938633
    Abstract: An electric compressor includes an electric motor, a compression mechanism driven by the electric motor, and a housing for accommodating the electric motor and the compression mechanism. The housing is formed such that the stator is fitted thereto. The housing has a plurality of thick portions and a plurality of thin portions. The center of the thickness of each thick portion is located outside of the center of the thickness of each thin portion with respect to a radial direction of the housing. As a result, even if the housing is deformed, the fixation of the stator to the housing is reliably maintained. Further, the weight of the electric compressor is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7363696
    Abstract: A sealed type motor-driven compressor includes a cylindrical motor housing and an annular stator core fastened to the interior of the motor housing. A method of assembling the compressor includes fastening the stator core to the motor housing by mechanically deforming at least one of the motor housing and the stator core. It is thus possible to set the fastening interference between the motor housing and the stator core to a sufficiently great level for suppressing loosening of the stator core with respect to the motor housing, which may otherwise be caused by a relatively high pressure produced by refrigerant gas.

  • Patent number: 7164218
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a housing and a circular stator. The housing has an inner circumferential surface. The housing also has a first predetermined thermal expansion coefficient. The housing further has an elastic part. The stator core is pressed to an inside of the housing by tight fit. The stator core has an outer circumferential surface. The stator core also has a second predetermined thermal expansion coefficient that is different from the first predetermined thermal expansion coefficient. A void is defined between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface so as to prevent the inner and the outer circumferential surfaces from contacting each other in a circular region. When the housing and the stator core expand or shrink so as to tightly fit each other due to a differential between the first and second predetermined thermal expansion coefficients, the elastic part corresponding to the void is elastically deformed.
