Vehicle Electric Compressor

Abstract

Provided is a vehicle electric compressor in which damage, such as damage to the function of an inverter unit or a high-voltage cable, is less likely to occur even when an external force is applied. A vehicle electric compressor ( 10 ) in which a compressing mechanism for compressing and discharging intake fluid and an electric motor for driving the compressing mechanism are accommodated in a housing ( 11 ), and an inverter unit ( 14 ) for rotational control of an electric motor is disposed on the outside of the housing ( 11 ), wherein a cover member ( 20 ) for protecting the inverter unit ( 14 ) from an external force is provided on the outside of the inverter unit ( 14 ).

1 . A vehicle electric compressor in which a compressing mechanism for compressing and discharging intake fluid and an electric motor for driving the compressing mechanism are accommodated in a housing, and an inverter unit for rotational control of the electric motor is disposed on the outside of the housing, wherein
 a cover member for protecting the inverter unit from an external force is provided on the outside of the inverter unit.   
   
   
       2 . A vehicle electric compressor according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover member has a protection portion for a high-voltage cable that is connected to the inverter unit. 
   
   
       3 . A vehicle electric compressor in which a compressing mechanism for compressing and discharging intake fluid and an electric motor for driving the compressing mechanism are accommodated in a housing, and an inverter unit for rotational control of the electric motor is disposed on the outside of the housing, wherein
 a leg protruding from the housing is provided for secure mounting, and a stress concentration portion is provided at boss at an end of the leg.
