- the arrangement of the first turning cooling passage 46 makes it possible to lengthen the axial length of the cooling passage 40 (in other words, the axial length of the motor housing 25), further improving the cooling performance of the electric compressor device 1.
- the arrangement of the first turning cooling passage 46 allows the coolant to move back and forth in the circumferential direction, increasing the passage length of the cooling passage 40 and improving the cooling performance of the electric compressor device 1.

図1、図2を参照して本開示の一実施形態に係る冷却流路40を例示する。図2は、図1の部分拡大図である。本例の冷却流路40は、第1冷却流路41、第2冷却流路42、および、第1折返冷却流路46を有する。第1冷却流路41と第2冷却流路42は周方向に延在すると共に、軸方向において並ぶように配置されている。第1折返冷却流路46は、第1冷却流路41および第2冷却流路42に連通している。モータハウジング25に形成される入口251を通過した冷却液は、第1冷却流路41に流入するようになっている(矢印B1)。また、冷却液は、第1冷却流路41、第1折返冷却流路46、および、第2冷却流路42を順に流れて、モータハウジング25に形成される出口252から排出されるようになっている(矢印B2)。
図4A、図4Bはリブ70を構成する第1リブ71を示す。図4Aは第1リブ71A(71)の概略的な断面図であり、図4Bは第1リブ71B(71)の概略的な断面図である。以下で説明する第1リブ71A,71Bに関する構成の少なくとも1つは第2リブ72(図2参照)に適用されてもよい。
なお、上記した寸法hと寸法Hの間の関係は、第2リブ72と第2冷却流路42の間においても成立してもよい。より具体的には、第1リブ71と第1冷却流路41の径方向長さの関係と、第2リブ72と第2冷却流路42の径方向長さの関係は互いに同じであってもよい。より詳細な一例として、第1リブ71と第2リブ72は周方向に沿って視たとき互いに同一形状であり、かつ、第1冷却流路41と第2冷却流路42は周方向に沿って視たとき互いに同一形状であってもよい。
図5は、本開示の一実施形態に係る軸方向視におけるモータハウジング25の概略図である。同図で示すように、モータハウジング25は、周方向における一端部である第1本体端部81と、周方向における他端部である第2本体端部82とを含む。第1本体端部81と第2本体端部82は、隙間Mを空けて周方向にて互いに対向している。本例のモータハウジング25は、軸方向に延在する略円筒状であると共に、軸方向視において略C字状を呈する。
図6C、図6Dは、第3実施形態に係るモータハウジング25C(25)と、第4実施形態に係るモータハウジング25D(25)とをそれぞれ示す。モータハウジング25C,25D(25)の冷却流路40B(40)は、第1冷却流路41、第2冷却流路42、および、第1折返冷却流路46に加えて、第3冷却流路43と第2折返冷却流路48をさらに有する。第3冷却流路43は、第1冷却流路41および第2冷却流路42と軸方向に並ぶと共に、周方向に延在する。第2折返冷却流路48は、第2冷却流路42および第3冷却流路43と連通する。図示されるリブ70C,70D(70)は、第1リブ71および第2リブ72に加えて、第3冷却流路43において周方向に延在する第3リブ73をさらに有する。本例では、3つの第3リブ73が、第3冷却流路43において軸方向に間隔を空けて配置されている。
電動コンプレッサ装置1は、図1で示す2段圧縮式電動コンプレッサであることに限定されない。電動コンプレッサ装置1は、ターボチャージャー装置に組み込まれた1段圧縮式電動コンプレッサであってもよい。
