Patent number: 7363696Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2004Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota JidoshokkiInventors: Kazuya Kimura, Izuru Shimizu, Takeshi Kawata

Patent number: 7365459Abstract: An electric motor has a hollow-cylindrical motor housing containing end plates that are mounted in the motor housing via respective centering flanges. A discrete electrical component is connected in parallel to electrical connections of the electric motor that are formed by contact elements disposed on the first end plate. The component is linked with at least one of the contact elements via a lead. The lead is inserted in a first, substantially V-shaped groove that tapers in the direction of insertion. The groove is provided with a recess into which the contact element can be pressed.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2004Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Kreca Bogdan, Purnat Matjaz, Seifried Radovan
