Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric compressor. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a soundproof structure for a compressor for a refrigerator. The compressor includes a compression mechanism, a drive motor, a casing, a soundproof cover, and a nameplate. The compression mechanism compresses a refrigerant. The drive motor drives the compression mechanism. The casing houses the compression mechanism and the drive motor. The nameplate displays information such as the model name of the compressor. The nameplate is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the casing. The soundproof cover covers the outer peripheral surface of the casing. The soundproof cover suppresses noise from the compressor. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-321839 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, since the soundproof cover covers the outer peripheral surface of the casing, the nameplate cannot be seen from outside the compressor. For this reason, for example, it is conceivable to attach a nameplate to the outer surface of the soundproof cover in order to see the nameplate from outside the compressor. However, since the soundproof cover is usually made of a material different from the casing (for example, a resin material such as a urethane material), it is necessary to use an adhesive suitable for that material, and the adhesive used for the casing does not adequately bond the nameplate to the soundproof cover. In other words, the attachment of the nameplate to the soundproof cover is not stable, and there is a demand for improving the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] An electric compressor that solves the above problem is an electric compressor comprising a compression section that compresses a fluid, an electric motor that drives the compression section, a housing that accommodates the compression section and the electric motor, a soundproof cover that covers the housing, and a nameplate that is attached to the housing and contains specified information, wherein the housing is a part of the housing and has a protrusion that protrudes to the outside of the soundproof cover through a hole formed in the soundproof cover, and the nameplate is provided on the protrusion.

[0006] According to the above configuration, since the nameplate is provided on the protruding portion of the housing, the nameplate can be seen when the protruding portion is viewed from outside the electric compressor. Furthermore, since the nameplate is attached to the housing, the nameplate can be attached more stably than when the nameplate is attached to the soundproof cover with the same adhesive as the housing. This improves the reliability of the nameplate attachment. Therefore, the nameplate can be confirmed from outside the electric compressor, and the reliability of the nameplate attachment can be improved.

[0007] In the above electric compressor, the protrusion may be a mounting foot for mounting the electric compressor to an object. According to the above-mentioned configuration, the nameplate can be attached to the mounting foot, which is a portion that needs to protrude from the soundproof cover, i.e., the existing protrusion of the housing. Therefore, compared to adding a new protrusion to the housing, the number of holes formed in the soundproof cover for inserting the protrusion can be reduced. Therefore, the noise suppression effect of the electric compressor can be maintained.

[0008] In the above electric compressor, the protrusion may be a wall portion that forms a port through which the fluid is sucked into or discharged from the compression section. According to the above-mentioned configuration, the nameplate can be provided on the wall portion that forms the port, which is a portion that needs to protrude from the soundproof cover, i.e., on the existing protrusion of the housing. Therefore, compared to a case in which a new protrusion is added to the housing, the number of holes formed in the soundproof cover for inserting the protrusion can be reduced, and the noise suppression effect of the electric compressor can be maintained.

[0009] In the above-mentioned electric compressor, the housing has an intake port through which the fluid compressed in the compression section is sucked in, and a discharge port through which the fluid compressed in the compression section is discharged, the housing has a plurality of mounting feet, and the nameplate is preferably provided on the mounting foot that is located farthest from the discharge port among all the mounting feet.

[0010] When the nameplate is attached to the housing via an adhesive layer made of, for example, an adhesive, if the temperature at the location where the nameplate is provided is high, the adhesive layer deteriorates, making it difficult to maintain the adhesive layer stably.

[0011] In this regard, according to the above-mentioned configuration, the nameplate is provided on the mounting foot located at the position on the housing farthest from the discharge port, which has a relatively high temperature. Therefore, since the nameplate is attached to a position on the housing where the temperature is relatively low, when the nameplate is attached to the housing with an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer can be held relatively stably. Therefore, the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate to the mounting foot can be further improved.

[0012] In the above-mentioned electric compressor, the port has an intake port through which the fluid compressed in the compression section is sucked in, and a discharge port through which the fluid compressed in the compression section is discharged, and the nameplate may be provided on the wall portion forming the intake port.

[0013] When the nameplate is attached to the housing via an adhesive layer made of, for example, an adhesive, if the temperature at the location where the nameplate is provided is high, the adhesive layer deteriorates, making it difficult to maintain the adhesive layer stably.

[0014] In this regard, according to the above-mentioned configuration, the temperature of the wall portion of the housing that forms the suction port is lower than the temperature of the wall portion that forms the discharge port. The nameplate is provided on the wall portion that forms the suction port. Therefore, since the nameplate is attached to a position of the housing that has a relatively low temperature, when the nameplate is attached to the housing by an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer can be held relatively stably. This further improves the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate to the wall portion that forms the suction port. Effect of the Invention

[0015] According to the present invention, the nameplate can be confirmed from the outside of the electric compressor, and the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate can be improved. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] [First embodiment] A first embodiment of an electric compressor will now be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. The electric compressor of this embodiment is used in, for example, a vehicle air conditioner.

[0018] <Basic configuration of electric compressor> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the electric compressor 10 includes a housing 20 and a soundproof cover 70. As shown in Figure 1, the housing 20 is cylindrical. The housing 20 is made of metal. The housing 20 is made of aluminum, for example. The direction in which the axis m of the housing 20 extends is defined as the axial direction A. The direction perpendicular to the axis m of the housing 20 is defined as the radial direction B. The direction in which a circle drawn about the axis m of the housing 20 extends is defined as the circumferential direction C. The housing 20 is composed of multiple housing components that can be separated in the axial direction A.

[0019] The electric compressor 10 includes a compression section 30 that compresses a refrigerant as a fluid, an electric motor 40 that drives the compression section 30, an inverter 50 that drives the electric motor 40, and a nameplate 60. The housing 20 accommodates the compression section 30, the electric motor 40, and the inverter 50. The compression section 30, the electric motor 40, and the inverter 50 are arranged in this order in the axial direction A of the housing 20. The electric motor 40 is driven by power supplied from the inverter 50. The compression section 30 is a scroll type composed of a fixed scroll and a movable scroll (not shown). The compression section 30 compresses the refrigerant sucked into the housing 20 as the electric motor 40 is driven.

[0020] <Housing configuration> The housing 20 has a first accommodating portion 21 and a second accommodating portion 22. The first accommodating portion 21 is cylindrical and generally corresponds to the axis m of the housing 20. The first accommodating portion 21 accommodates the compression portion 30 and the electric motor 40. The second accommodating portion 22 accommodates the inverter 50. The first accommodating portion 21 is continuous with the second accommodating portion 22 in the axial direction A.

[0021] The housing 20 has a cylindrical suction wall portion 23, a cylindrical discharge wall portion 24, and a plurality of mounting legs 25. The suction wall portion 23 is provided on an outer circumferential surface 21a of the first accommodating portion 21.

[0022] <Configuration of the suction wall> The suction wall portion 23 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 21a of the first accommodating portion 21. The suction wall portion 23 is a part of the housing 20. The suction wall portion 23 is disposed between the electric motor 40 and the inverter 50 in the axial direction A. The suction wall portion 23 is provided with a suction port Pin that communicates with the inside of the first accommodating portion 21. As the electric motor 40 is driven, the refrigerant compressed in the compression section 30 is sucked into the inside of the first accommodating portion 21 through the suction port Pin. The suction port Pin is a port formed by the suction wall portion 23. Thus, the suction wall portion 23 is a wall portion that forms the suction port Pin.

[0023] <Configuration of the discharge wall> The discharge wall portion 24 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 21a of the first accommodating portion 21. The discharge wall portion 24 is a part of the housing 20. The discharge wall portion 24 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 21a in the same direction as the suction wall portion 23. The discharge wall portion 24 is disposed at approximately the same position as the compression portion 30 in the axial direction A. The discharge wall portion 24 is provided with a discharge port Pout that communicates with the inside of the first accommodating portion 21. The discharge port Pout communicates with the compression portion 30. The refrigerant compressed in the compression portion 30 is discharged from the discharge port Pout to the outside of the first accommodating portion 21. The discharge port Pout is a port formed by the discharge wall portion 24. Therefore, the discharge wall portion 24 is a wall portion that forms the discharge port Pout. Therefore, the electric compressor 10 of this embodiment has a port through which the refrigerant is sucked or discharged.

[0024] <Mounting foot configuration> In this embodiment, four mounting feet 25 are provided. All of the mounting feet 25 are part of the housing 20. All of the mounting feet 25 protrude from the outer peripheral surface 21a of the first accommodating portion 21. All of the mounting feet 25 extend, for example, in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the suction wall portion 23 and the discharge wall portion 24 protrude from the outer peripheral surface 21a. The direction in which the mounting feet 25 protrude is defined as a protruding direction D.

[0025] As a more detailed example, two of the mounting feet 25 protrude in a first direction D1, which is one of the protruding directions D. The remaining two of the mounting feet 25 protrude in a second direction D2, which is the direction opposite to the first direction D1.

[0026] The two mounting feet 25 protruding in the first direction D1 are aligned in the axial direction A. The two mounting feet 25 protruding in the second direction D2 are aligned in the axial direction A. Of the two mounting feet 25 protruding in the first direction D1, the mounting foot 25 closest to the second housing portion 22 is defined as the nameplate mounting foot 26.

[0027] The nameplate mounting foot 26 is located closest to the suction wall portion 23 among all the mounting feet 25. The nameplate mounting foot 26 is located closest to the suction port Pin among all the mounting feet 25.

[0028] The nameplate mounting foot 26 is located at approximately the same position as the suction wall portion 23 in the axial direction A. Of the two mounting feet 25 protruding in the second direction D2, the mounting foot 25 closer to the suction wall portion 23 is located at approximately the same position as the suction wall portion 23 in the axial direction A. The nameplate mounting foot 26 is located farthest from the discharge port Pout of all the mounting feet 25. Of the two mounting feet 25 protruding in the second direction D2, the mounting foot 25 closer to the suction wall portion 23 is located farthest from the discharge port Pout of all the mounting feet 25.

[0029] A flat plate portion 26a is integrally formed with the nameplate mounting foot 26. The flat plate portion 26a is provided at a portion of the nameplate mounting foot 26 facing the suction wall portion 23 in the circumferential direction C. The flat plate portion 26a has a flat surface S1. The flat surface S1 is a surface of the flat plate portion 26a located in a direction in which the suction wall portion 23 and the discharge wall portion 24 protrude from the outer circumferential surface 21a.

[0030] The two mounting feet 25 protruding in the first direction D1 are attached to a mounting portion 101 protruding from the vehicle body 100 as an attachment target. The two mounting feet 25 protruding in the second direction D2 are similarly attached to the mounting portion 101 of the vehicle body 100, although not shown. Thus, all of the mounting feet 25 are mounting feet for attaching the electric compressor 10 to the vehicle body 100.

[0031] <Nameplate composition> In this embodiment, the nameplate 60 is a rectangular seal made of a flexible material. The size of the nameplate 60 is smaller than the size of the plane S1 of the nameplate mounting foot 26. The nameplate 60 is adhered to the plane S1 of the flat plate portion 26a of the nameplate mounting foot 26 via an adhesive layer 61 made of an adhesive. In this manner, the nameplate 60 is attached to the housing 20.

[0032] The nameplate 60 includes predetermined information. In detail, the predetermined information is written on the surface of the nameplate 60 opposite to the adhesive layer 61. The predetermined information is, for example, the product number of the electric compressor 10, the lot number at the time of manufacturing the electric compressor 10, precautions for using the electric compressor 10, etc. The predetermined information may be, for example, a QR code (registered trademark) that summarizes the above-mentioned information.

[0033] <Soundproof cover configuration> 2 and 3, the soundproof cover 70 is made of an elastically deformable resin material etc. The soundproof cover 70 is made of, for example, a urethane material or a nonwoven fabric.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3, the soundproof cover 70 has a first cover 71 and a second cover 72. The first cover 71 and the second cover 72 each have an accommodating recess 70a that conforms to the outer shape of the housing 20. The first cover 71 further has a first insertion portion 71a and a second insertion portion 71b, which form a first hole H71a and a second hole H71b in the first cover 71. That is, the first insertion portion 71a is a surface that forms the first hole H71a, and the second insertion portion 71b is a surface that forms the second hole H71b. The first hole H71a and the second hole H71b are holes formed in the soundproof cover 70.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, two mounting feet 25 protruding in the second direction D2 are inserted into the first hole H71a and the second hole H71b. The second cover 72 has an intake wall portion insertion portion 72a, a third insertion portion 72b, and a fourth insertion portion 72c, which form an intake wall portion insertion hole H72a, a third hole H72b, and a fourth hole H72c in the second cover 72. That is, the intake wall portion insertion portion 72a is a surface that forms the intake wall portion insertion hole H72a, the third insertion portion 72b is a surface that forms the third hole H72b, and the fourth insertion portion 72c is a surface that forms the fourth hole H72c. The intake wall portion insertion hole H72a, the third hole H72b, and the fourth hole H72c are holes formed in the soundproof cover 70.

[0036] 2, the suction wall portion 23 is inserted into the suction wall portion insertion hole H72a. Two mounting legs 25 protruding in the first direction D1 are inserted into the third hole H72b and the fourth hole H72c. The suction wall portion 23 protrudes to the outside of the soundproof cover 70 from the suction wall portion insertion hole H72a.

[0037] The soundproof cover 70 has a discharge wall portion insertion portion 70b, and thus a discharge wall portion insertion hole H70b is formed in the soundproof cover 70. That is, the discharge wall portion insertion portion 70b is a surface that forms the discharge wall portion insertion hole H70b. The discharge wall portion 24 is inserted into the discharge wall portion insertion hole H70b. The discharge wall portion insertion hole H70b is a hole formed in the soundproof cover 70.

[0038] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the discharge wall portion insertion portion 70b is composed of a U-shaped first forming surface 71c formed on the first cover 71 and a U-shaped second forming surface 72d formed on the second cover 72.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, in a state in which the housing 20 is covered with the soundproof cover 70, the suction wall portion 23, the discharge wall portion 24, and all the mounting feet 25 protrude from the first hole H71a, the second hole H71b, the suction wall portion insertion hole H72a, the third hole H72b, the fourth hole H72c, and the discharge wall portion insertion hole H70b formed in the soundproof cover 70. The nameplate 60 provided on the plane S1 of the nameplate mounting foot 26 protruding from the third hole H72b is exposed to the outside of the soundproof cover 70. In this embodiment, the mounting feet 25 and the nameplate mounting foot 26 are protruding parts protruding from the soundproof cover 70. The nameplate 60 is provided on the nameplate mounting foot 26 which is a protruding part.

[0040] <Action of this embodiment> The operation of this embodiment will now be described. In this embodiment, when the compression unit 30 and the electric motor 40 are driven, noise is generated through the housing 20. However, since the housing 20 is covered with the soundproof cover 70, the noise of the electric compressor 10 is reduced.

[0041] In this embodiment, since the nameplate 60 is provided on the nameplate mounting foot 26 of the housing 20, the nameplate 60 can be seen when the nameplate mounting foot 26 is viewed from outside the electric compressor 10. In addition, the nameplate 60 is provided on the flat surface S1 of the metal nameplate mounting foot 26. Since the nameplate 60 is attached to the housing 20, the nameplate 60 can be attached more stably than when the nameplate 60 is attached to the soundproof cover 70 with an adhesive or the like used when attaching the nameplate 60 to the housing 20. This improves the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate 60.

[0042] <Effects of this embodiment> The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1-1) Since the nameplate 60 is attached to the nameplate mounting foot 26 of the housing 20, the nameplate 60 can be visually observed. Furthermore, since the nameplate 60 is provided on the flat surface S1 of the metal nameplate mounting foot 26, the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate 60 is improved. Therefore, the nameplate 60 can be confirmed from the outside of the electric compressor 10, and the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate 60 can be improved.

[0043] (1-2) In this embodiment, the nameplate 60 can be provided on the mounting feet 25, which are portions that need to protrude from the soundproof cover 70, i.e., on existing protrusions of the housing 20. Therefore, compared to the case where a new protrusion is added to the housing 20, the number of holes formed in the soundproof cover 70 can be reduced. Therefore, the noise suppression effect of the electric compressor 10 can be maintained.

[0044] (1-3) When the nameplate 60 is attached to the housing 20 by the adhesive layer 61, if the temperature of the location where the nameplate 60 is provided is high, the adhesive layer 61 deteriorates. For this reason, it is difficult to maintain the adhesive layer 61 stably.

[0045] In this regard, in this embodiment, the nameplate 60 is provided on the mounting foot 25 located at the farthest position from the discharge port Pout, which has a relatively high temperature, in the housing 20. Therefore, the nameplate 60 is attached to a position in the housing 20 where the temperature is relatively low, and the adhesive layer 61 can be held relatively stably. This further improves the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate 60 to the nameplate mounting foot 26.

[0046] Furthermore, the nameplate mounting foot 26 is located closest to the suction port Pin among the mounting feet 25 located farthest from the discharge port Pout. Therefore, since the nameplate 60 is attached at a position closest to the suction port Pin through which a relatively low-temperature refrigerant is sucked, the adhesive layer 61 can be held more stably, and the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate 60 to the nameplate mounting foot 26 can be improved.

[0047] [Second embodiment] A second embodiment of the electric compressor will be described below with reference to Fig. 4. The main difference between the first embodiment and this embodiment is that the mounting position of the nameplate is changed. This difference will be described in detail, and the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description will be omitted.

[0048] <Configuration of the suction wall section> 4, the suction wall portion 23 has a pedestal portion 23b. The pedestal portion 23b is formed by increasing the thickness of a portion of the suction wall portion 23. The pedestal portion 23b is provided in a portion of the suction wall portion 23 that faces the nameplate mounting foot 26 in the circumferential direction C.

[0049] Pedestal portion 23b has a plane S2. Plane S2 is a surface of pedestal portion 23b that is located on the first direction D1 side. The size of plane S2 is larger than nameplate 60. Nameplate 60 is adhered to plane S2 of suction wall portion 23 via adhesive layer 61. In this embodiment, suction wall portion 23 is a protruding portion that protrudes from soundproof cover 70.

[0050] <Actions and Effects of the Present Embodiment> The operation and effects of this embodiment will be described. (2-1) In this embodiment, the nameplate 60 can be provided on the suction wall 23, which is a portion that needs to protrude from the soundproof cover 70, i.e., on an existing protruding portion of the housing 20. Therefore, compared to the case where a new protruding portion is added to the housing 20, the number of holes formed in the soundproof cover 70 can be reduced. Therefore, the noise suppression effect of the electric compressor 10 can be maintained.

[0051] (2-2) When the nameplate 60 is attached to the housing 20 by the adhesive layer 61, if the temperature of the location where the nameplate 60 is provided is high, the adhesive layer 61 deteriorates. For this reason, it is difficult to maintain the adhesive layer 61 stably.

[0052] In this regard, in the present embodiment, the temperature of the suction wall portion 23 forming the suction port Pin in the housing 20 is lower than the temperature of the discharge wall portion forming the discharge port Pout. The nameplate 60 is provided on the suction wall portion 23 forming the suction port Pin. Therefore, the nameplate 60 is attached to a position in the housing 20 where the temperature is relatively low, and the adhesive layer 61 can be held relatively stably. This further improves the reliability of the attachment of the nameplate 60 to the suction wall portion 23.

[0053] [Example of change] The above-described embodiments can be modified as follows: The above-described embodiments and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that no technical contradiction occurs.

[0054] In each of the above embodiments, the nameplate 60 is a sticker, but it may be, for example, a metal plate. When the nameplate 60 is a metal plate, the nameplate 60 may be fixed to the nameplate mounting feet 26 or the suction wall portion 23 using a fixing member such as a bolt. When the nameplate 60 is fixed by a fixing member, the adhesive layer 61 may be omitted.

[0055] In each of the above-described embodiments, the shape of the nameplate 60 is not limited to a rectangular shape and may be changed as appropriate. In the second embodiment, the base portion 23b may be omitted. The nameplate 60 may be attached to the cylindrical surface of the suction wall portion 23 via an adhesive layer 61.

In the second embodiment, the nameplate 60 may be provided on the discharge wall portion 24 that forms the discharge port Pout. The discharge wall portion 24 is a protruding portion that protrudes from the soundproof cover 70. The discharge wall portion 24 may be provided with a base portion 23b. The nameplate 60 may be adhered to any position of the discharge wall portion 24 via an adhesive layer 61.

[0057] In the first embodiment, the nameplate 60 may be attached to the mounting feet 25 excluding the nameplate mounting feet 26. The mounting feet 25 are protruding parts that protrude from the soundproof cover 70. The mounting feet 25 excluding the nameplate mounting feet 26 may be provided with flat plate parts 26a. The nameplate 60 may be adhered to any part of the mounting feet 25 excluding the nameplate mounting feet 26 via an adhesive layer 61.

[0058] In each of the above embodiments, two or more nameplates 60 may be provided. For example, if two nameplates 60 are provided, the two nameplates 60 may be attached together to the mounting foot 25, or may be attached together to the suction wall portion 23 or the discharge wall portion 24. Also, one of the two nameplates 60 may be attached to the mounting foot 25, and the remaining one may be attached to the suction wall portion 23. Similar modifications may be made even if three or more nameplates 60 are provided.

[0059] In each of the above-described embodiments, the number and arrangement of the mounting feet 25 may be changed as appropriate. In each of the above-described embodiments, the compression section 30 is not limited to a scroll type and may be, for example, a piston type or a vane type.
