  • JP-A-2002-174178 discloses an electric compressor for compressing a refrigerant where a compression part and a motor are integrally formed, wherein a motor drive circuit is mounted on an outer surface of a surrounding wall of a refrigerant gas suction passage, and heat radiation fins are mounted on an inner surface of a motor drive circuit mounting portion of the surrounding wall of the refrigerant gas suction passage.
  • the motor drive circuit is configured to be cooled by a refrigerant gas which flows through the surrounding wall of the refrigerant gas suction passage and the heat radiation fins.
  • An electric compressor disclosed in JP-A-2008-184947 is configured such that the electric compressor includes a motor chamber arranged in a suction pressure region, the motor chamber and an inverter housing chamber are arranged adjacent to each other with a first housing sandwiched therebetween, a cooling hole which extends toward the inverter housing chamber from the motor chamber is formed in the first housing, the cooling hole is a through hole which penetrates the first housing, and a refrigerant in the motor chamber flows into the cooling hole and comes into contact with a heat transfer plate thus directly cooling the heat transfer plate whereby an electronic part cooling effect can be enhanced.
  • An electric compressor disclosed in JP-A-2010-59809 is configured such that the electric compressor includes a motor housing, an inverter housing is joined to a bottom portion of the motor housing which forms a rear-side end portion of the motor housing, an inverter housing chamber is defined in the inside of the inverter housing, and an inverter is housed in the inverter housing chamber in a state where the inverter is fixed to a bottom portion of the inverter housing chamber.
  • a board on which the inverter circuit is wired (inverter circuit board) is arranged and fixed in the inverter housing chamber which is defined in a partitioned manner from a space where the electric motor is housed by a wall portion.
  • Electronic parts such as switching elements mounted in the inverter circuit generate a large amount of heat and hence, for the purpose of enhancing a cooling effect by improving thermal conductivity of the electronic parts, the switching elements and the like are arranged in a state where the switching elements and the like are brought into close contact with the wall portion in general.
  • a bearing which rotatably supports a rotary shaft of the electric motor is press-fitted into a motor-side wall portion of the inverter housing chamber.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an electric compressor having the structure which enables press-fitting of a bearing into a wall portion of an inverter housing chamber after an inverter circuit board is mounted on the wall portion of the inverter housing chamber while preventing an effect of cooling switching elements and the like mounted on an inverter circuit from lowering or the switching elements and the like from breaking, and also preventing the increase of a thickness of the wall portion.
  • the present invention provides an electric compressor which includes: a compression mechanism; an electric motor for driving the compression mechanism; an inverter circuit for driving the electric motor; and a housing in which a compression mechanism housing portion for housing the compression mechanism, an electric motor housing portion for housing the electric motor, and an inverter circuit housing portion for housing the inverter circuit are defined, wherein a wall portion is provided between the electric motor housing portion and the inverter circuit housing portion, a bearing which rotatably and pivotally supports a rotary shaft of the electric motor is press-fitted into the wall portion on an electric motor housing portion side of the wall portion, an inverter circuit board on which the inverter circuit is wired is provided on an inverter circuit housing portion side of the wall portion, and the inverter circuit housing portion is closed by a lid member, wherein the improvement is characterized in that at least one pillar is provided between the wall portion and the lid member.
  • a load applied to the wall portion at the time of press-fitting the bearing can be received by the pillar and hence, even when the bearing is press-fitted into the wall portion after the inverter circuit board is mounted on the wall portion, a load (press-fitting force) applied to the inverter circuit board can be received by the lid member by way of the pillar whereby it is possible to prevent an inverter circuit cooling effect from lowering and the switching element or the like mounted on the inverter circuit board from breaking.
  • the inverter circuit board is mounted on the wall portion by way of the pillar.
  • a seat for holding the inverter circuit board is formed on the pillar, and the inverter circuit board is fixed to the seat.
  • the pillar is integrally formed with the wall portion and extends from the wall portion, and a distal end of the pillar is brought into contact with the lid member.
  • the inverter circuit board is fixed to the wall portion between the inverter circuit housing portion and the electric motor housing portion by way of the pillar and hence, a load generated at the time of press-fitting the bearing can be supported by the wall portion and the lid member whereby a bearing press-fitting operation can be performed after mounting the inverter circuit board. Accordingly, the present invention can acquire an advantageous effect that a risk that the bearing is exposed to dust, moisture or oil after mounting the bearing is small.
  • a press-fitting force is not transmitted to an electric element such as a switching element which requires heat radiation at the time of press-fitting the bearing and hence, the present invention can acquire an advantageous effect that a risk that an inverter circuit cooling effect is lowered due to the deterioration of a close contact state between the wall portion and the electric element or the electric element is broken is small.
  • a press-fitting force generated at the time of press-fitting the bearing is supported by the pillar and hence, it is unnecessary to increase a thickness of the wall portion whereby the present invention can acquire an advantageous effect that a heat radiation effect at the wall portion can be increased.
  • the inverter circuit board is held at and fixed to the seat formed on the pillar and hence, the present invention can acquire an advantageous effect that the structure for fixing the inverter circuit board can be simplified.
  • an electric compressor 1 constitutes a part of a refrigerating cycle not shown in the drawing, for example.

Due to such a constitution, the rotor 33 is rotated by a rotating magnetic field generated by the stators 32 with the supply of electric power outputted from the inverter circuit so that the rotary shaft 34 is rotated.
  • the rotary shaft 34 is rotatably and pivotally supported by bearings 36, 37.
  • An eccentric shaft 35 is provided to one end of the rotary shaft 34 in an eccentric manner.
