Electric wire holding structure for electric compressor and electric wire holding method for electric compressor
View Patent ↗A structure and method for holding an electric wire connected to the inside of an electric compressor incorporating a motor. The structure has a holding member for holding an electric wire present between a connection terminal section for connection to the outside and a built-in electric device. The structure and method can reliably eliminate possibility of adverse affection to an input electric wire caused by vibration, etc. while preventing a reduction in efficiency of assembly work and an increase in size of the compressor.
1. A structure for holding an electric wire connected to an interior of an electric compressor incorporating a motor, comprising a holding member for holding an electric wire present between a connection terminal section for connection to an outside of said compressor and a stator in said compressor; wherein the holding member is disposed where the electric wire intersects a bobbin of the stator and the holding member engages at least one surface of the bobbin and secures the electric wire between an outer peripheral surface of the bobbin and an inner surface of the holding member.
2. The electric wire holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein said holding member comprises a one-touch clip.
3. The electric wire holding structure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one surface of the bobbin are opposing surfaces of the bobbin.
4. The electric wire holding structure according to claim 3 , wherein the one-touch clip comprises a pair of claws and the bobbin comprises a pair of lips formed on the opposing surfaces of the bobbin, wherein the pair of claws of the one-touch clip are configured to engage the opposing bobbin lips.
5. A structure for holding an electric wire connected to an interior of an electric device including an inverter, comprising a holding member for holding an electric wire present between a connection terminal section for connection to an outside of said electric device and an inner case housing the inverter in said electric device; wherein the holding member is disposed where the electric wire intersects the inner case and the holding member engages a surface of the inner case and secures the electric wire between the surface of the inner case and an inner surface of the inverter.
6. A method for holding an electric wire connected to an inside of an electric compressor incorporating a motor, comprising the steps of:
connecting an electric wire to an interior of said electric compressor incorporating a motor; and
thereafter, holding said electric wire present between a connection terminal section for connection to an outside of said compressor and a stator in said compressor by a holding member by engaging at least one surface of the bobbin with the holding member and thereby pressing the electric wire between an outer peripheral surface of the bobbin and an inner surface of the holding member.
7. The method for holding an electric wire according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one surface of the bobbin are opposing surfaces of the bobbin.
