Electric motor-driven compressor for vehicle
View Patent ↗Disclosed is an electric motor-driven compressor having a structure capable of improving the performance of an electric motor of the electric motor-driven compressor for the vehicle. The electric motor-driven compressor has an angle which is formed by two straight lines passing through a center of the rotor and making contact with both end portions of one permanent magnet, and is in a range of about 48.7° to about 51°. The cogging torque and the torque ripples are minimized, the power of the electric motor is improved, and the electric motor is easily controlled.
1. An electric motor-driven compressor comprising:
an electric motor including a stator, which has a cylindrical shape and an inner part perforated in an axial direction and is provided in an internal circumferential surface thereof with a plurality of winding slots extending in parallel to the axial direction such that a coil is wound therein and a rotor having the cylindrical shape and coaxially provided in the stator,
wherein six permanent magnets are inserted into the rotor in the axial direction, and twenty-seven winding slots are provided along the internal circumferential surface of the stator at a regular interval, wherein an angle formed by two straight lines passing through a center of the rotor and making contact with both end portions of one permanent magnet adjacent to the center of the rotor is in a range of about 48.7° to about 51°, and wherein a ratio of a shortest distance, which is measured from the center of the rotor to each permanent magnet, to the radius of the rotor, is in a range of about 0.74 to about 0.78.
2. The electric motor-driven compressor of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a radius of the rotor to a radius of the stator is in a range of about 0.48 to about 0.51.
3. The electric motor-driven compressor of claim 1 , wherein the electric motor employs a distributed winding scheme.
4. The electric motor-driven compressor of claim 1 , wherein the compressor further comprises:
