Description

Hermetic terminal, electric compressor using the same, and connection method
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to an airtight terminal, a motor-driven compressor using the same, and a connecting method. More particularly, the present invention relates to an airtight terminal for mounting in a vehicle, an electric compressor using the airtight terminal, and a connection method.
Background
The hermetic terminal is a terminal in which a lead wire is hermetically sealed in an insertion hole of a metal outer ring base (eyelet) by a glass insulating material. The airtight terminal is used for supplying an electric current to an electric device or element housed in the airtight container or for outputting a signal from the electric device or element to the outside.
For example, an airtight terminal used in a compressor of a refrigerator or an air conditioner is shown in international publication No. WO2010/117000 (patent document 1). The outer ring base of the airtight terminal includes: a top plate portion; a cylindrical portion extending downward from an outer peripheral end of the top plate portion; a flange portion extending obliquely outward from a lower end of the cylindrical portion; and three small cylinder portions forming lead sealing holes extending from the top plate portion toward the inside. In each of the lead sealing holes of the outer ring base, a lead is hermetically sealed by a glass insulating material for sealing.
In a hybrid vehicle, in order to reduce the influence of the engine on the environment, the engine is stopped when the vehicle is temporarily stopped by a traffic light or the like. In this case, if a compressor driven by the engine is used, the air conditioner is stopped each time the vehicle is stopped, which is problematic in summer or winter, particularly in summer heat or severe winter.
In a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, a compressor that is not driven by an engine but is driven by a motor is used. As in the case of a compressor of an indoor air conditioner, a compressor is used in which a compression mechanism is incorporated in an airtight container together with a motor.
In view of providing an in-vehicle motor-driven compressor in a narrow engine room, a motor-driven compressor that is as small and lightweight as possible while saving space is preferable. The motor is driven by electricity supplied through an airtight terminal mounted to a terminal mounting hole of the airtight container. For example, as shown in chinese utility model registration CN206098769U (patent document 2), many hermetic terminals used in an electric compressor for vehicle use are arranged in a linear array in order to save space.

Disclosure of Invention
Technical problem to be solved by the invention
In an electric compressor for mounting on a vehicle, an airtight terminal is mounted in a terminal mounting hole of a sealed container that accommodates a refrigerant, a lubricating oil, and an electric motor. Electricity is supplied from a power supply to the motor through the airtight terminal, the refrigerant is compressed and circulated, and is used for heat exchange between the inside and outside of the vehicle. Some electric compressors for vehicles use PAG (polyalkylene glycol) synthetic oil as a lubricating oil. The PAG synthetic oil has low electrical insulation and electric conductivity. The conventional hermetic terminal is not preferable in terms of electrical insulation because it has a structure that allows oil to intrude between lead members.
In a conventional hermetic terminal of an electric compressor for vehicle use, an insulating coating member made of silicone rubber is sometimes provided on the outer ring base surface and the outer lead outside the sealed container for the purpose of improving electrical insulation. However, silicone rubber does not include refrigerant resistance and oil resistance, and is difficult to apply to the inside of a closed container. Further, even if the inner lead of the airtight terminal is covered with rubber, since the wiring socket into which the airtight terminal is inserted is not watertight, it is impossible to prevent oil from infiltrating into the socket.
The present disclosure provides an airtight terminal in which oil in the airtight terminal for an in-vehicle electric compressor does not contact with an electrode surface, an electric compressor using the airtight terminal, and a wiring method.
Technical scheme for solving technical problem
The airtight terminal of the present disclosure includes: a lead member formed of a conductive material; an outer ring base that holds the lead member; an insulating material provided between the lead member and the outer ring base and insulating the lead member from the outer ring base; and a cover member fixed to at least one surface of the outer ring base. The end of the lead member has an exposed portion exposed from the insulating material. The cover member has a peripheral wall portion surrounding the exposed portion of the lead member.
In the hermetic terminal, the cover member may be made of an electrically insulating material having refrigerant resistance and oil resistance.
In the airtight terminal, the cover member may be fixed to the outer ring base with a curable resin.
In the airtight terminal, the peripheral wall portion of the cover member may surround the periphery of the exposed portion in a rectangular shape.
In the airtight terminal, all or a part of the peripheral wall portion of the cover member may be detachably provided.
The electric compressor of the present disclosure includes: the airtight terminal described above; a compression mechanism; a motor for driving the compression mechanism; an electric wire connecting the motor and the airtight terminal; an inverter device that drives the motor; a hermetic container that houses the motor and the compression mechanism; an inverter case that is joined to the sealed container and accommodates the inverter device; a connecting portion that electrically connects the electric wire and the exposed portion; and a sealing resin filled in the peripheral wall portion. The exposed portion and the connecting portion are sealed in the sealing resin.
In the electric compressor, the connecting portion may include a connector provided at an end of the electric wire and connecting the electric wire to the exposed portion of the lead member.
The connection method of the present disclosure is a connection method of connecting the hermetic terminal and an electric wire of an electric compressor, wherein the electric compressor includes: a compression mechanism; a motor for driving the compression mechanism; the electric wire connecting the motor and the airtight terminal; an inverter device that drives the motor; and a closed container which houses the motor and the compression mechanism; an inverter case that is joined to the sealed container and accommodates the inverter device; and a connecting portion that electrically connects the electric wire and the exposed portion. The connection method comprises the following steps: connecting the electric wire of the motor to the exposed portion of the lead member surrounded by the peripheral wall portion of the airtight terminal through the connecting portion; filling a sealing resin into the peripheral wall portion, and sealing the exposed portion and the connection portion in the sealing resin; and curing the sealing resin.
In the connection method, after the step of curing the sealing resin, a step of assembling each member constituting the motor may be further included.
In the above-described connecting method, the step of connecting the peripheral wall portion by the connecting portion may be followed by a step of attaching the detached peripheral wall portion to a part or the whole of the peripheral wall portion, and the step of filling the sealing resin may be followed by the step of attaching the peripheral wall portion to a part or the whole of the peripheral wall portion.

Detailed Description
The hermetic terminal of the present embodiment includes: a lead member formed of a conductive material; an outer ring base that holds the lead member; an insulating material provided between the lead member and the outer ring base and insulating the lead member from the outer ring base; and a cover member fixed to one surface of the outer ring base. The end of the lead member has an exposed portion protruding from the insulating material. The cover member has a peripheral wall portion surrounding the exposed portion of the lead member.
The cover member may also be formed of an electrically insulating material having refrigerant resistance and oil resistance. The peripheral wall portion of the cover member may be partly or entirely detachable as required. When the hermetic terminal is used in an electric compressor, the cover member is disposed inside a hermetic container that houses the electric motor.
The cover member is fixed so as to cover at least one surface of the outer ring base and a part of the back side of the lead member. The electrode is disposed so as to be exposed to the back side of the lead member or to be connected to the lead member inside the peripheral wall portion. An insulating sealing material having refrigerant resistance and oil resistance is filled in a peripheral wall portion provided around the lead member or the exposed portion of the electrode connected to the lead member, and is cured. Thus, the entire back side current-carrying portion including the connection portion of the electric wire of the motor connected to the lead member is insulated and covered.
In the case of the insulating cover, first, the electric wire of the motor is electrically connected to the exposed portion of the airtight terminal. Then, the peripheral wall portion is filled with a sealing resin up to the upper end of the peripheral wall portion, and cured. This allows the entire connecting portion of the electric wire and the exposed portion of the lead member to be insulated and covered. By covering with the sealing resin, the penetration of oil having low electrical insulation into the lead member can be completely cut off, and the current-carrying portion of the airtight terminal does not contact the oil.
The hermetic terminal connection method according to the present embodiment is a method of connecting an electric wire of a motor that drives a compression mechanism of an electric compressor for a vehicle to an exposed portion of a lead member provided on a back side inside a peripheral wall portion or an exposed portion of a lead member including an electrode plate and the like connected thereto.
That is, in the connection method of the present embodiment, first, the electric wire of the motor is connected to the exposed portion of the lead member surrounded by the peripheral wall portion of the airtight terminal. Then, the inside of the peripheral wall portion is filled with a sealing resin and cured. Thereby, the exposed portion and the connection portion of the electric wire are entirely sealed in the sealing resin.
The airtight terminal may be detachably attached to a part or the whole of the peripheral wall portion. By making it possible to remove a part of the peripheral wall portion facing the side surface of the exposed portion, the electric wire of the motor can be attached to the exposed portion without being obstructed by the peripheral wall portion, and the work of connecting the electric wire is facilitated. After the connection of the electric wire is completed, the detached peripheral wall portion is mounted again. The peripheral wall portion is filled with a sealing resin in the same order as described above, and the exposed portion and the connection portion of the electric wire are all resin-sealed.
The vehicle-mounted electric compressor of the present embodiment includes: a compression mechanism; a motor for driving the compression mechanism; an inverter that drives the motor; a hermetic container that houses the motor and the compression mechanism; an inverter case that is joined to the sealed container and that houses the inverter; and an airtight terminal provided in the sealed container and electrically connecting the inverter and the motor.
The airtight terminal includes: a lead member formed of a conductive material; an outer ring base that holds the lead member; an insulating material for insulating the lead member from the outer ring base; and a cover member fixed to at least one surface of the outer ring base. The cover member has a peripheral wall portion surrounding the exposed portion of the lead member. The electric wire of the motor is connected to the exposed portion through a connecting portion. The peripheral wall portion is filled with a sealing resin, and the exposed portion and the connection portion of the electric wire are sealed in the sealing resin.

The cover member 14a has a peripheral wall portion 14b surrounding the periphery of the exposed portion 15.
The cover member 14 is made of an electrically insulating material having refrigerant resistance and oil resistance. The peripheral wall portion 14b may be partially detachable as necessary. In the case of the motor-driven compressor, the cover member 14 is disposed inside a closed container that houses the motor. The cover member 14 covers at least a part of the lead member 11 on one surface and the back surface of the outer ring base 12.
The rear side of the lead member 11 is exposed inside the peripheral wall portion 14b. The lead member 11 may have an electrode plate not shown. The cover member 14a is provided so that the peripheral wall portion 14b surrounds the exposed portion 15 of the lead member 11 or the exposed portion of the electrode plate connected to the lead member 11.
The cover member 14a is provided to cover the entire back side current-carrying portion including the connection portion of the electric wire or the connector of the motor electrically connected to the lead member 11 in an insulated manner. That is, after the connection portion of the electric wire of the motor is connected to the lead member 11, the insulating sealing material having refrigerant resistance and oil resistance is filled in the peripheral wall portion 14b and cured. This allows the entire back side current-carrying portion including the connection portion of the electric wire or the connector of the motor electrically connected to the lead member 11 to be insulated and covered.

The cover member 24 has peripheral wall portions 24b and 24d surrounding the exposed portion 25 of the lead member 21. The cover member 24 (24 a, 24b, 24c, 24 d) in fig. 2 is made of an electrically insulating material having refrigerant resistance and oil resistance. The peripheral wall portion 24d of the peripheral wall portions 24b and 24d may be detachable as necessary.
In the case of the motor-driven compressor, the cover member 24 is disposed inside a closed container that houses the motor. The cover member 24 is fixed to cover a part of the lead member 21 and the outer ring base 22 on the rear side except for the exposed portion 25. The lead wire 21b on the back side or the electrode plate 21a connected to the lead wire 21b is exposed inside the peripheral wall portions 24b and 24d. In fig. 2 (a), the lead member 21 hidden by the cover member 24 is indicated by a broken line.
Peripheral wall portions 24b and 24d are provided around the exposed portion of lead 21b or exposed portion 25 of electrode plate 21a connected to lead 21 b. The peripheral walls 24b and 24d are filled with an insulating sealing material having refrigerant resistance and oil resistance and cured, thereby insulating and covering all of the current-carrying portions on the back side including the connection portions of the wires or connectors of the motor electrically connected to the lead member 21.

In the airtight terminal, a part of the peripheral wall portion may be detachably attached. By removing a part of the peripheral wall portion facing the side surface of the exposed portion, the operation of connecting the electric wire of the motor to the exposed portion is facilitated without being obstructed by the peripheral wall portion. After the connection work is completed by the connection portion of the electric wire or the connector, the detached peripheral wall portion is mounted again. The peripheral wall portion is filled with a sealing resin in this order, and the exposed portion and the connection portion of the electric wire or the connector of the motor are all resin-sealed.
