- To achieve the above described object, an inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention is an inverter-integrated electric compressor which incorporates a motor, an inverter section having a motor drive circuit to drive said motor and being provided with a control circuit board and electric component parts, wherein said control circuit board and said electric component parts are fixed in a housing space surrounded by a compressor housing, wherein said control circuit board is fixed through a board-fixing section in said housing space, wherein a board vibration-isolating member for board vibration-isolating, which is made of an electrically insulative elastic material, is provided so as to interpose between the control circuit board and the board-fixing section, wherein said control circuit board is provided with an insertion hole in the form of a through-hole through which a part of said board vibration-isolating member is inserted so as to fix said board vibration-isolating member onto said control circuit board, wherein said board vibration-isolating member is provided with a neck part having a smaller diameter than the diameter of said insertion hole, a locking part having a greater diameter than the diameter of said insertion hole and a conical stopper part having a greater maximum diameter than the diameter of said insertion hole and a smaller minimum diameter than the diameter of said insertion hole, and wherein the conical stopper part is elastically deformable and insertable into said insertion hole, and elastically restorable at the opposite side of the locking part as viewed from the control circuit board. When such an insertion hole is provided, the board vibration-isolating member can be easily set to a fixing position on the control circuit board. The board-fixing section can be realized by a plate-like fixing member (board-fixing plate) which fixes the control circuit board, for example. Alternatively, the control circuit board can be fixed directly to a compressor housing itself as a board-fixing section, with no fixing member.
- The inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention makes it possible that the control circuit board is prevented from bending and vibrating which are accompanied by vibration transmitted from outside, because the control circuit board is fixed through the board-fixing section in the housing space surrounded by a compressor housing while the board vibration-isolating member made of electrically insulative elastic material is provided so as to interpose between the control circuit board and the board-fixing section. It is preferable that the board vibration-isolating member is bonded to the control circuit board or the board-fixing section, from a viewpoint of an easy assembling.
- In the inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention, it is preferable that a frame member having a concave holding section with a concave part formed into a concave shape is loaded onto the control circuit board while the board vibration-isolating member made of an electrically insulative elastic material is provided so as to interpose between the control circuit board and the frame member. In addition, the concave part of the concave holding section can be formed into a concave shape along outlines of electric component parts loaded onto the control circuit board so as to improve vibration prevention ability of the electric component parts. When the frame member with the concave holding section is loaded onto the control circuit board while the board vibration-isolating member made of electrically insulative elastic material is provided as interposing between the control circuit board and the frame member, the control circuit board can be further prevented from bending and vibrating which are accompanied by vibration transmitted from the outside. It is preferable that the board vibration-isolating member is bonded to the frame member or the control circuit board from a viewpoint of an easy assembling. Alternatively, it is possible that a plurality of board vibration-isolating members are provided at either obverse side or reverse side of the control circuit board respectively.
- In the inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention, it is preferable that the electric component parts are sealed at least partially by an electrically insulative filler filled in the housing space. When the electrically insulative filler, such as urethane resin, is filled in the housing space and at least a part of the electric component parts are sealed, the motor drive circuit is kept electrically insulative while the control circuit board is further prevented from vibrating.
- In the inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention, it is preferable that the board vibration-isolating member is made of a material harder than the electrically insulative filler. Specifically when urethane resin is employed as the electrically insulative filler, synthetic rubber such as ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM) and silicone rubber or natural rubber can be employed as the board vibration-isolating member. Besides, being harder than the electrically insulative filler means that a hardness which is measured with a durometer in conformity with JISK6253 is higher than the electrically insulative filler.
- In the inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention, it is preferable that the board vibration-isolating members are disposed as being plane-symmetrical viewed from the control circuit board. When the board vibration-isolating members are disposed as plane-symmetrical as viewed from the control circuit board, the control circuit board is sandwiched from both top and bottom sides by the board vibration-isolating member, as more firmly achieving vibration prevention.
- In the inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention, it is preferable that one board vibration-isolating member between the control circuit board and the frame member is formed integrally with another board vibration-isolating member between the control circuit board and the board-fixing section. Thus, board vibration-isolating members provided at both top/bottom sides may be formed integrally, so as to decrease the number of component parts which compose the electric compressor while the board vibration-isolating member is easily fixed onto the control circuit board without bonding the board vibration-isolating member onto the control circuit board, and therefore, the electric compressor can be improved in assembly easiness. It is preferable that the board vibration-isolating member is formed such that the locking part is deformed elastically so as to come to have smaller diameter than the insertion hole when compression force is applied from outside and such that it is restored elastically so as to come to have greater diameter than the insertion hole when the compression force is removed. The board vibration-isolating member of which locking part is formed as such makes it easier to fix the board vibration-isolating member onto the control circuit board.
- In the inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention, it is possible that the frame member is formed integrally with the board vibration-isolating member. If the frame member is formed integrally with the board vibration-isolating member made of electrically insulative elastic material, the number of component parts which compose the electric compressor can be decreased and the frame member can absorb a shock even when the frame member is shocked from outside.
- It is suitably preferable that the inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention is used in an air conditioning system for vehicles. Namely, because the control circuit board which composes the motor drive circuit is highly prevented from vibrating in the inverter-integrated electric compressor, required performance reliability can be ensured even in an air conditioning system for vehicles, which is attached to engines and required to have superior vibration resistance.
- The inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention makes it possible that the control circuit board is efficiently prevented from vibrating, because the control circuit board composing a part of the inverter section is fixed through the board-fixing section and the frame member is loaded onto the control circuit board while the board vibration-isolating member made of electrically insulative elastic material is interposed between the control circuit board and the board-fixing section as well as between the control circuit board and the frame member. Further, the vibration resistance of the electric compressor can be improved much more because the electric components are sealed at least partially by the electrically insulative filler which is filled into the housing space surrounded by the compressor housing.

-
Fig. 1 shows a whole of inverter-integratedelectric compressor 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. InFig. 1 ,compression mechanism 2 is comprised offixed scroll 3 andmovable scroll 4.Movable scroll 4 is made to swing relative tofixed scroll 3 as being prevented from rotation with a rotation-preventing mechanism.Motor 7 is incorporated in compressor housing (center housing) 6. Main shaft 8 (rotation shaft) is driven to rotate bymotor 7. The rotation ofmain shaft 8 is converted into the swing ofmovable scroll 4, througheccentric pin 9 which is provided at a side ofmain shaft 8 andeccentric bush 10 which is engaged rotatably therewith. In this embodiment, refrigerant, which has been sucked as fluid to be compressed, is led tocompression mechanism 2 through a providing-section formotor 7. The refrigerant which has been compressed bycompression mechanism 2 is delivered viadischarge hole 13 anddischarge chamber 14 into an external circuit out of compressor housing (rear housing) 15. -
Inverter section 21 having a circuit for drivingmotor 7 is provided in a housing space surrounded by compressor housing 12 (front housing). In further detail,inverter section 21 is provided at an outer side ofpartition wall 22, which is provided against the side of passageway for sucking refrigerant incompressor housing 12.Inverter section 21 supplies electricity tomotor 7 through lead wire and through seal terminal 23 (output terminal of inverter section 21) which is provided as penetratingpartition wall 22. In a providing-section forseal terminal 23, the side of passageway for sucking refrigerant and the side of providedinverter section 21 are sealed. Thusinverter section 21 is provided at an outer side ofpartition wall 22, so that electric component parts composinginverter section 21 can be at least partially cooled throughpartition wall 22 by sucked refrigerant. -
Inverter section 21 is comprised of electrical components such as IPM (Intelligent Power Module) 25, which has an inverter function, andcontrol circuit board 26 and is also comprised of other electric component parts such ascapacitor 27 which is provided separately or integrally therewith. The opening side to the outside ofcompressor housing 12 which mountsinverter section 21 is covered as being sealed withlid member 29, andmotor drive circuit 21 is protected bylid member 29. -
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showinginverter section 21 ofFig. 1 .Inverter section 21 is composed ofnoise filter 30,HV connector 31,LV connector 32, etc., other thanIPM 25 andcontrol circuit board 26. Because a lot of electric component parts are loaded ontocontrol circuit board 26, performance reliability of the electric compressor tends to be lost if vibration is not sufficiently prevented. Above all electric component parts,capacitor 27 is a component part which tends to fall away from a control circuit board under vibration thereof because of its great height when mounted oncontrol circuit board 26. -
Fig. 3 shows a structure wherecontrol circuit board 26 ofFig. 2 is fixed in a housing space surrounded bycompressor housing 12 wherecompressor housing 12, board-fixingplate 36,control circuit board 26 andframe member 37 are placed according to placement order at the time of assembling, being depicted as an elevation view from the lower side ofFig. 2 .Control circuit board 26 is fixed on compressor housing 12 (front housing) by bolts through board-fixingplate 36. Board vibration-isolatingmember 38 made of columned EPDM rubber is fixed to board-fixingplate 36 by bonding.Control circuit board 26 and board-fixingmember 36 are fastened by bolts, so that board vibration-isolatingmember 38 is pushed to contactcontrol circuit board 26, as preventing vibration ofcontrol circuit board 26. Board vibration-isolatingmember 39 is bonded to be fixed to framemember 37 as being positioned symmetrically from board vibration-isolatingmember 38 with respect to plane ofcontrol circuit board 26. Thus board-fixingplate 36 andframe member 37, to which board vibration-isolatingmembers control circuit board 26, so thatcontrol circuit board 26 is prevented from bending and vibrating. -
Fig. 4 is a plan view offrame member 37 ofFig. 3 from the upper side ofFig. 3 .Frame member 37 has concave holdingsection 40 which has a concave part formed into a concave shape and venthole 41 which is perforated inconcave holding section 40.Frame member 37, when loaded as coveringcontrol circuit board 26 as shown inFig. 3 , forms the gap which can be filled with urethane resin as electrically insulative filler together withcontrol circuit board 26. This gap is sealed by filling with urethane resin, so that circuit component parts, such ascontrol circuit board 26 andcapacitor 27 placed oncontrol circuit board 26, can be further firmly prevented from vibrating. In addition, because providing withvent hole 41 makes it possible to prevent air from generating and staying inside urethane resin, circuit component parts such ascapacitor 27 can be firmly fixed ontocontrol circuit board 26 after the urethane resin is hardened. In addition, because board vibration-isolatingmember 39 is formed by material harder than urethane resin, even after the urethane resin is hardened the effect of vibration isolating for the control circuit board can be maintained. -
Fig. 5 is an elevation view showing examples (A)-(C) for combination of a board vibration-isolating member and an insertion hole for fixing the board vibration-isolating member onto the control circuit board. In example (A), insertion holes 44,45, through whichneck parts members control circuit board 26, where board vibration-isolatingmembers control circuit board 26 by lockingparts control circuit board 26, so that board-fixingplate 36 andframe member 37 pushcontrol circuit board 26 from both top and bottom sides with board vibration-isolatingmembers control circuit board 26, and therefore, the effect of vibration isolating can be improved. In example (B), a tip ofneck part 50 of board vibration-isolatingmember 49 is provided withstopper part 51 having greater diameter thaninsertion hole 48 which is a through-hole. Afterstopper part 51 is elastically deformed and inserted intoinsertion hole 48,stopper part 51 is elastically restored at the opposite side of lockingpart 52 as viewed fromcontrol circuit board 26, so as to achieve a structure where board vibration-isolatingmember 49 cannot easily fall away frominsertion hole 48 ofcontrol circuit board 26. Example (C) is developed one of examples (A) and (B). Board vibration-isolatingmember 53 is fixed ontocontrol circuit board 26 by insertingneck part 54 of board vibration-isolatingmember 53 intoinsertion hole 48 which is a through-hole. One lockingpart 55 of board vibration-isolatingmember 53 is elastically deformed and inserted intoinsertion hole 48, and is elastically restored at the opposite side of the other lockingpart 56 with respect to controlcircuit board 26, so as to achieve a structure where board vibration-isolatingmember 53 cannot easily fall away frominsertion hole 48 ofcontrol circuit board 26, as with example (B). In example (C), as with example (A) board-board-fixingplate 36 andframe member 37 pushcontrol circuit board 26 from both top and bottom sides with board vibration-isolatingmember 53, so as to prevent vibration ofcontrol circuit board 26. Namely, example (C) is a developed example where board vibration-isolatingmembers -

In this embodiment,control circuit board 26, which is provided with electric component parts such ascapacitor 27, is fixed tocompressor housing 12 as a board-fixing section through board vibration-isolatingmember 38. In such a condition where the circuit board is prevented from vibrating, electrically insulative filler such as urethane resin is filled in the housing space of compressor housing, so as to sealcontrol circuit board 26 including electric component parts such ascapacitor 27. -

Thus controlcircuit board 26 is fixed as sandwiched between board vibration-isolatingmembers control circuit board 26 is efficiently prevented from vibrating. In such a condition where the circuit board is prevented from vibrating, electrically insulative filler such as urethane resin is filled in the housing space ofcompressor housing 12, so as to sealcontrol circuit board 26 including electric component parts such ascapacitor 27. - The inverter-integrated electric compressor according to the present invention is applicable to substantially all types of compressors, and is specifically suitable for a compressor to be mounted in vehicles where it is often mounted in a narrow space and its motor drive circuit is sensitive to heat and vibration.
