  • the pins 51 are fixed to the portions at which the reinforcing ribs 65 provided on the end plate 6b are formed, the pins 51 are fixed to the locations having higher stiffness in the end plate 6b, and it is more reliably prevent the deformation at the locations to which the pins 51 are pressure-fitted when the pins 51 are pressure-fitted so as to be fixed or when the pins 51 receive the radial load.
  • the reinforcing ribs 65 are formed at the positions corresponding to the stator non-contact portions 62 in the axial direction, it is possible to prevent the stress due to the deformation of the stator contact portions 61 from being transmitted to the end plate 6b via the reinforcing ribs 65.
  • the positioning pins 23 which position the end plate 6b and the fixing scroll 21 are provided on the virtual circle including the holes 63, it is possible to satisfy a demand of providing the positioning pins 23 at locations away from the shaft center if possible to secure positioning accuracy between the end plate 6b and the fixing scroll 21, and a demand of suppressing influences (deformation) of the end plate 6b due to the pressure-fitting (tightly fitting) of the electric motor 4 with respect to the motor accommodation housing member 6, and it is possible to secure accuracy during assembly of the positioning pins 23 while securing positioning accuracy of the fixing scroll 21.
  • the example is exemplified in which the cylindrical recessed portions 53 engage with the pins 51 via the ring members 52.
  • the cylindrical recessed portions 53 may directly engage with the pins 52. Also in this configuration, effects similar to those of the above-described configuration example can be obtained.
  • the example is shown in which the pins 51 are pressure-fitted to the pin attachment holes 54 so as to be fixed to the end plate 6b.
  • the pins 51 are screwed so as to be fixed to the pin attachment holes 54 or the like, when there is a concern that deformation at the locations of the fixed pins may occur during fixing of the pins, the similar configurations may be adopted.
