Abstract

A compressor includes: a compressor; and a motor that is disposed in the compressor housing. The motor has a rotor provided coaxially with respect to a rotary shaft of the compression part, and a stator disposed on an outer peripheral side of the rotor. In the stator, a plurality of large-diameter parts in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the compressor housing and a plurality of small-diameter parts, each of the small-diameter parts having a distance from a rotation center of the motor to an outer peripheral surface, the distance being smaller than the distance of the large-diameter part, are formed in a circumferential direction of the stator. The stator is provided with a plurality of welded parts joining the inner peripheral surface of the compressor housing with the outer peripheral surface of the stator, and the welded parts are provided in the small-diameter part of the stator.

Claims (20)

1. A compressor comprising: a compressor housing; a compression part that is disposed in the compressor housing and compresses a cooling medium; and a motor that is disposed in the compressor housing and drives the compression part, wherein

the motor has a rotor provided coaxially with respect to a rotary shaft of the compression part, and a stator core disposed on an outer peripheral side of the rotor,

the stator core has formed thereon, in a circumferential direction, a plurality of large-diameter parts shrink-fitted on an inner peripheral surface of the compressor housing, a plurality of small-diameter parts each having a distance from a rotation center of the motor to an outer peripheral surface of the stator core that is smaller than the distance of the large-diameter part, and a plurality of recessed parts, which is formed at an interval in a circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the stator core and through which lubricating oil in the compressor housing passes along the outer peripheral surface,

the small-diameter part and the large-diameter part adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction of the stator core are formed to interpose the recessed part between the small-diameter part and the large-diameter part, and

the stator core is provided with a plurality of welded parts joining the inner peripheral surface of the compressor housing with the outer peripheral surface of the stator core, and the welded parts are provided in the small-diameter parts of the stator core.

2. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein,

in the circumferential direction of the stator core, a circumferential-direction length of the large-diameter part along the outer peripheral surface of the stator core and a circumferential-direction length of the small-diameter part are equal to each other.

3. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein,

in the circumferential direction of the stator core, a small-diameter range, which is a sum of the circumferential-direction lengths of the plurality of small-diameter parts along the outer peripheral surface of the stator core, is larger than a large-diameter range, which is a sum of the circumferential-direction lengths of the plurality of large-diameter parts.

4. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein,

in the stator core, a number of the small-diameter parts is two times or more a number of the large-diameter parts.

5. The compressor according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of small-diameter parts is provided with a through-hole that penetrates through the stator core along an axial direction of the rotary shaft.

6. A compressor comprising: a compressor housing; a compression part that is disposed in the compressor housing and compresses a cooling medium; and a motor that is disposed in the compressor housing and drives the compression part, wherein

the motor has a rotor provided coaxially with respect to a rotary shaft of the compression part, and a stator core disposed on an outer peripheral side of the rotor,

the stator core has formed thereon, in a circumferential direction, a plurality of large-diameter parts in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the compressor housing and a plurality of small-diameter parts each having a distance from a rotation center of the motor to an outer peripheral surface that is smaller than the distance of the large-diameter part,

the stator core is provided with a plurality of welded parts joining the inner peripheral surface of the compressor housing with the outer peripheral surface of the stator core, and the welded parts are provided in the small-diameter parts of the stator core, and

before arranging the stator core in the compressor housing,

R 2 <R 3 <R 1 is satisfied, wherein R 1 represents a large-diameter-part outer diameter that is a distance from the rotation center to the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter part, R 2 represents a small-diameter-part outer diameter that is a distance from the rotation center to the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter part, and R 3 represents a housing inner diameter that is a distance from the rotation center to the inner peripheral surface of the compressor housing, and

the stator core is shrink-fitted onto the compressor housing by the large-diameter part and is welded with the compressor housing by the small-diameter part.
