Abstract

There is provided an electric compressor capable of achieving an effective and stable noise reduction effect by making a ground pattern of a control device conductive to a housing at a short distance. An electric compressor 1 is configured so that a control board 17 and an HV filter board 18 of a control device 4 are accommodated in an accommodating section 9 configured in a housing 3, and the accommodating section 9 is closed by a cover member constituting a part of the housing 3. Ground patterns 26 to 28 configured on the control board 17 and the HV filter board 18 are made conductive to the cover member or a side wall 3 A of the accommodating section 9.

Claims (24)

1 . An electric compressor comprising:

a control device accommodated in an accommodating section configured in a housing,

wherein the accommodating section is closed by a cover member configuring a part of the housing, and

wherein a ground pattern configured in the control device is made conductive to the cover member or a wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern.

2 . The electric compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the ground pattern located in a peripheral portion of the accommodating section is made conductive to a side wall of the accommodating section, and

wherein the ground pattern located in the center portion of the accommodating section is made conductive to the cover member or a bottom wall of the accommodating section.

3 . The electric compressor according to claim 1 , including a screw for fixing the control device to the housing,

wherein the screw is made conductive to the ground pattern and made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern.

4 . The electric compressor according to claim 3 , including a plurality of the screws,

wherein each of the screws is made conductive to the ground pattern,

wherein the screw located in the peripheral portion of the accommodating section is made conductive to the side wall of the accommodating section, and

wherein the screw located in the center portion of the accommodating section is made conductive to the cover member or the bottom wall of the accommodating section.

5 . The electric compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern by a conductive grounding material having elasticity.

6 . The electric compressor according to claim 1 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern through a Y capacitor.

7 . The electric compressor according to claim 6 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern through a plurality of the Y capacitors corresponding to a frequency band of noise desired to be reduced based on noise regulation value characteristics.

8 . The electric compressor according to claim 2 , including a screw for fixing the control device to the housing,

wherein the screw is made conductive to the ground pattern and made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern.

9 . The electric compressor according to claim 2 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern by a conductive grounding material having elasticity.

10 . The electric compressor according to claim 3 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern by a conductive grounding material having elasticity.

11 . The electric compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern by a conductive grounding material having elasticity.

12 . The electric compressor according to claim 2 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern through a Y capacitor.

13 . The electric compressor according to claim 3 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern through a Y capacitor.

14 . The electric compressor according to claim 4 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern through a Y capacitor.

15 . The electric compressor according to claim 5 , wherein the ground pattern is made conductive to the cover member or the wall of the accommodating section close to the ground pattern through a Y capacitor.
