  • Patent number: 11428227
    Abstract: An electrical arrangement assembly is provided on the external region of a hermetic housing of a compressor. The arrangement includes an insulating box capable of housing an electrical interface between internal and external regions of the compressor including an insulating box coupled to the external region by means a hinge element having a pivot handle with an extension and a grounding tab. The grounding tab of the hinge element cooperates with a housing cradle of the insulating box when connecting the box to the housing of the compressor. A controlled angular movement between the insulating box and the hinge element results in electrical connection between a first and second set of electrical terminals of the electrical interface between the internal and external regions of the hermetic housing of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 10851768
    Abstract: Is disclosed an electrical grounding assembly arrangement for reciprocating compressor capable of optimizing the assembly of the electrical grounding connection and allows a quick visual inspection of the same, while providing a saving of electrical conductors, which are nonexistent in light of the invention in question. For this purpose, the casing (of the frequency inverter, which is fixed to the external region of the compressor housing) includes an electrical grounding bus capable of receiving, on its external portion, a fixing metal element specially adapted to electrically connect the outer portion of the electrical grounding bus and the electrical grounding connection of the housing and, at the same time, mechanically fixing the casing to the reciprocating compressor housing by physically locking the external portion of the electrical grounding bus and the electrical grounding connection of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20170356442
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the technological field of structural components of hermetically sealed compressors. Problem to be resolved: Currently, reciprocating compressors include protective plates which, welded to the outer side of their hermetically sealed carcasses, have small functional dimensions, which ultimately limit the size of electrical or electronic circuits to be fixed on the said protective plates. Problem Resolution: It is disclosed a reciprocating compressor, whose protective plate is conformed by at least one first plate segment and at least one second plate segment, wherein firstly it occurs the fixation of the first plate segment on the base of the hermetically sealed housing of the reciprocating compressor, subsequently, the lid is fixed on the base in order to form the hermetically sealed housing and, finally, the second plate segment is fixed on the first plate segment.

  • Publication number: 20160192541
    Abstract: An electronic device cabinet comprising a housing and a printed-circuit board positioned in an internal area of the housing and defining a dissipation chamber. The dissipation chamber is formed between a first surface of the printed-circuit board and a first dissipating surface of a dissipation board. The dissipation board is fitted into the housing. The printed-circuit board comprises at least one electronic component positioned in the dissipation chamber. The dissipation chamber further includes a filler in direct contact with a perimeter of the electronic component, with parts of the first surface of the printed-circuit board, with the tracks of the printed-circuit board, and with parts of the first dissipating surface of the dissipation board. The cabinet is configured so that a second dissipating surface of the dissipation board, opposite the first dissipating surface, is in direct contact with the external environment surrounding the cabinet.
