  • Patent number: 11971025
    Abstract: A compressor includes: a plurality of terminals; a terminal cover protecting the plurality of terminals; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of a shell; and a cover having a flat portion disposed around the plurality of terminals, and a sensor protection portion covering the temperature sensor, the sensor protection portion being integrally formed with the flat portion to extend from the flat portion. The terminal cover is attached to cover the flat portion of the cover in a state in which the temperature sensor disposed on the shell is covered by the sensor protection portion of the cover. Thus, it is possible to prevent a lead wire of the temperature sensor from being accidentally cut when the terminal cover is attached.
