Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The present invention pertains to an electric compressor equipped with a compression part compressing a refrigerant gas and an electric motor driving the compression part, and to a method for assembling same, and specifically pertains to a structure insulating a terminal used in the electric compressor. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0002]    An electric compressor contains a compression part and electric motor driving the compression part within a metal container. Through the operation of the compression part, refrigerant gas within the container is compressed by the compression part and expelled to outside. The metal container is shut tight. Electric power is supplied to the electric motor from an external power supply part via a terminal part provided in an opening of the container. 
         [0003]    In circumstances where the electric compressor is used in a refrigerant circuit, when operation is stopped, a refrigerant gas within the compressor cools and condenses. In some cases, this may lead to liquid refrigerant pooling inside the container. Then, upon contact between the terminal part and the liquid refrigerant, a short circuit occurs between the metal container and the terminal part. As such, when operation of the electric compressor starts, there is a risk that current supplied to the terminal part may leak to the container through the liquid refrigerant. 
         [0004]    Specifically, an electrical leak is more likely to occur when the lubricant used with the refrigerant is not polyolester oil (POE) but rather polyalkylene glycol (PAG) or a similar lubricant having lower volume resistivity. Thus, there is a need to ensure insulation for the terminal part. 
         [0005]    As such, Patent Document 1 discloses technology insulating a part in which current flows by covering the part in which the current flows with resin. 
         [0006]    Also, Patent Document 2 discloses technology extending an insulating distance between a terminal connecting part and a sealed-tight container.

       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Problem to be Solved by the Invention 
       [0008]    However, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires covering an insulation part with resin. Also, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 requires forming an insulation distance extension channel to extend the insulation distance between the terminal connecting part and the sealed-tight container. Thus, a problem of poor workability arises. 
         [0009]    In consideration of the above-described problem, the present invention aims to provide an electric compressor and an assembly method for same, in which the electric compressor is equipped with a terminal insulation structure enabling improved insulation with a simple assembly. 
       Means for Resolving the Problem 
       [0010]    In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention provides the following approach of an electric compressor and a method for assembling same. 
         [0011]    That is, an electric compressor according to a first aspect of the present invention includes an electric motor contained in a casing and driving a compression part compressing a refrigerant guided into the casing; and a connecting part container having an external power line supplying electric power to the electric motor guided in from outside the casing, and containing a connecting part electrically connecting, within the casing, the external power line and an internal power line guided from the electric motor. The connecting part container is provided with an insertion hole. The internal power line is inserted through the insertion hole. The connecting part container is splittable at a splitting line splitting the connecting part container and splitting the insertion hole. A first rubber ring is disposed within the connecting part container and blocks off the insertion hole in a liquid-tight state. The first rubber ring is held sandwiched between split walls forming the insertion hole. 
         [0012]    According to the first aspect of the invention, the connecting part container is split at the splitting line that splits the insertion hole, and the first rubber ring is held sandwiched between split walls forming the insertion hole, such that the interior of the container is in a liquid-tight state. Thus, blocking the infiltration of the refrigerant in the casing into the connecting part container through the insertion hole is enabled by disposing the first rubber ring so as to block the insertion hole shut in a liquid-tight state. Accordingly, the external power line connected to the connecting part container is insulated. 
         [0013]    Also, the connecting part container is blocked shut by the first rubber ring held sandwiched between the split walls forming the insertion hole. Thus, a structure is enabled in which the first rubber ring is unlikely to fall off due to a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the connecting part container. 
         [0014]    The electric compressor according to the first aspect of the present invention has one of an engaging protrusion and an engaging concavity formed on the split walls forming the insertion hole. The first rubber ring is provided with one of an engagement concavity engaging with the engaging protrusion and an engagement protrusion engaging with the engaging concavity. 
         [0015]    According to the first aspect of the invention, a protrusion or a concavity corresponding to the protrusion or the concavity formed on the walls forming the insertion hole is provided on the first rubber ring. Thus, the first rubber ring may be prevented from falling from the connecting part container. 
         [0016]    The electric compressor according to the first aspect of the present invention has the external power line with a terminal pin connected to the connecting part container. The terminal pin is covered by a second rubber ring and made liquid-tight. 
         [0017]    According to the first aspect of the present invention, the terminal pin is covered by the second rubber ring and made liquid-tight. Thus, contact between the terminal pin and the refrigerant in the casing is avoided, which enables greater insulation for the terminal part. 
         [0018]    The electric compressor according to the first aspect of the present invention has the connecting part container held sandwiched by the second rubber ring and the electric motor. 
         [0019]    According to the first aspect of the present invention, the connecting part container is sandwiched by the second rubber ring and the electric motor. This enables the channel of current flow to be sealed and increases insulation. This also prevents the fitted connecting part container from detaching. 
         [0020]    The electric compressor of the first aspect of the present invention includes an electric motor contained in a casing and driving a compression part compressing a refrigerant guided into the casing, and a connecting part container having an external power line supplying electric power to the electric motor guided in from outside the casing, and containing a connecting part electrically connecting, within the casing, the external power line and an internal power line guided from the electric motor. The external power line has a terminal pin connected to the connecting part container. The terminal pin is covered by a second rubber ring and made liquid-tight. 
         [0021]    According to the first aspect of the present invention, the terminal pin is covered by the second rubber ring and made liquid-tight. Thus, contact between the terminal pin and the refrigerant in the casing is avoided, which enables greater insulation for the terminal part. 
         [0022]    The electric compressor of the first aspect of the present invention provides one or both ends of the second rubber ring with one of a fitting concavity and a fitting protrusion fitting correspondingly onto a casing side and/or onto a connecting part container side. The casing side and/or the connecting part container side is provided with one of a fitting protrusion and a fitting concavity fitting correspondingly with the fitting concavity or the fitting protrusion on the second rubber ring. 
         [0023]    Also, given that the second rubber ring is sandwiched, there is a possibility that elastic force of the second rubber ring may be excessive upon experiencing extensive sandwiching. Such circumstances may lead to breakage of the connecting part container or of a component positioned opposite, such as the glass terminal. However, a gap between the components sandwiching the second rubber ring is determined by the dimensions of the various components. As such, the tolerance for the dimensions of this gap grows large upon adding the cumulative tolerances of the components. 
         [0024]    In order to avoid such discrepancies, intentionally lowering the rigidity of the second rubber ring and decreasing the load relative to displacement has been considered. For example, the rigidity may be lowered by simply making the entirety of the second rubber ring narrower. In such circumstances, the contact surface area between the second rubber ring and the connecting part container or between the second rubber ring and the glass terminal is reduced. However, there is a risk that the required insulation may then be insufficient where needed. 
         [0025]    Thus, providing the fitting concavity and/or the fitting protrusion on the second rubber ring reduces the horizontal cross-section at this fitting part, which enables breakage of the connecting part container or of the glass terminal due to excessive load to be prevented without decreasing the insulation. 
         [0026]    Also, the fitting is performed by fitting the protrusions and concavities provided between the second rubber ring and the casing and/or the connecting part container. These protrusions and concavities create a seal effect, such that the second rubber ring need not necessarily be actively sandwiched and impose a large load. 
         [0027]    In the electric compressor according to a first aspect of the present invention, a natural length of the fitting concavity and/or the fitting protrusion with respect to an axial direction of the second rubber ring is longer than a length of the fitting protrusion and/or the fitting concavity provided on the casing side and/or the connecting part container side with respect to the axial direction. 
         [0028]    Making the natural length of the fitting concavity and/or the fitting protrusion with respect to the axial direction of the second rubber ring longer than the fitting protrusion and/or the fitting concavity with respect to the axial direction ensures that the fitting concavity or the fitting protrusion on the second rubber ring reaches the corresponding component first. Accordingly, this enables difficult-to-measure units of tolerance and the like to be absorbed in the narrow portion of the second rubber ring, where the horizontal cross-section is smaller. 
         [0029]    In the electric compressor pertaining to the first aspect of the present invention, a portion of the second rubber ring is narrower than another portion of the second rubber ring. 
         [0030]    Making only one portion of the second rubber ring narrower than other portions thereof with respect to the axial direction enables breakage of the connecting part container or of the glass terminal due to excessive load to be prevented without decreasing the insulation. 
         [0031]    The electric compressor pertaining to a first aspect of the present invention includes a resin case having a lid pressing a coil wound around an end part of the electric motor. A split portion of the connecting part container is integrated with the lid. 
         [0032]    According to the first aspect of the present invention, a split portion of the connecting part container is integrated with the lid pressing the coil into place. Thus, an electric compressor is provided that satisfies the goal of pressing the coil while maintaining ease of assembly. 
         [0033]    A method for assembling an electric compressor according to a second aspect of the present invention, applied to any above-described aspect of the electric compressor, involves inserting the internal power line into the first rubber ring; fitting the split connecting part container so that the first rubber ring with the internal power line inserted therein is held sandwiched between the split walls; and connecting the terminal pin, affixed to the second rubber ring and to a glass terminal plate, to the connecting part container. 
         [0034]    According to the second aspect of the invention, the internal power line is inserted into the first rubber ring first, before fitting the split connecting part container to hold the first rubber ring sandwiched in place. Thus, the connecting part container is assembled easily and with high insulation by simply having the split connecting part container sandwich the rubber ring. Furthermore, the terminal part attached to the second rubber ring is connected to the connecting part container. This enables the electric compressor to be achieved with high insulation without sacrificing ease of assembly. 
       Advantageous Effects of Invention 
       [0035]    According to the present invention, an electric compressor has an insulated terminal without hampering ease of assembly.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
       [0049]    An electric compressor pertaining to an embodiment of the present invention is described below, with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
         [0050]    As depicted in  FIG. 1 , an electric compressor  21  is used as a compressor in a vehicle air conditioning device, for example. The electric compressor  21  includes a casing  2 , which contains a scroll compression part  13  and an electric motor  1  that drives this scroll compression part  13 . Through the operation of the electric motor  1 , a refrigerant guided into the casing  2  is compressed by the scroll compression part  13  and expelled to outside. 
         [0051]    The casing  2  is configured as a main body part having a substantially cylindrical shape that contains the scroll compression part  13  and the electric motor  1 . At one end of the main body part (the left-hand side in  FIG. 1 ), an opening of the casing  2  is shut tight by a bottom face of an inverter container part  43  (the right-hand side end in  FIG. 1 ). 
         [0052]    The inverter container part  43  is shaped as a container containing the inverter, and is affixed to the main body part of the casing  2  by a second bolt  46 . 
         [0053]    The casing  2  is sealed tight with respect to the refrigerant supplied thereto. Electric power is supplied to the electric motor  1  from the inverter (not depicted) in the inverter container part  43  via an external power line  4  inserted through an opening formed in the bottom face of the inverter container part  43  that is part of the casing  2 . The external power line  4  is configured from a glass terminal plate  29 , a terminal pin  27 , an insulator  31 , and on the like. Also, the glass terminal plate  29  and an end face of the inverter container part  43  are fixed in place by a first bolt  45 . Thus, the external power line  4  is affixed to the inverter container part  43 . 
         [0054]    A terminal case (also termed connecting part container)  5  is provided between the inverter container part  43  and the electric motor  1 . The external power line  4  and an internal power line  3  guided in from the direction of the electric motor  1  are connected to each other within the terminal case  5 . The terminal case  5  is fixed in place, being sandwiched between the bottom face of the inverter container part  43  and an end face of the electric motor  1  (specifically, a lid  17  pressing a coil  15  into place). 
         [0055]    As depicted in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 3 , the terminal case  5  contains three connecting parts  6  for connecting three electric power lines in parallel. The terminal case  5  has terminal case parts  51 ,  52 ,  53  each containing one of the connecting parts  6  and being substantially identical to each other in shape. The terminal case  5  is shaped as an integrated whole of the terminal case parts  51 ,  52 ,  53  aligned in parallel while being offset by a predetermined distance with respect to a longitudinal direction (the left-right direction in  FIG. 3 ). The present embodiment describes a terminal case in which three electric power lines are connected. However, no particular limitation to the invention is intended thereby. A single electric power line, two electric power lines, or four or more electric power lines may also be provided. 
         [0056]    As depicted in  FIG. 2 , the terminal case  5  contains a connecting part  6  electrically connecting the external power line  4  and the internal power line  3  within the casing  2 . 
         [0057]    The internal power line  3  is guided from the electric motor  1  and inserted into an insertion hole  9  provided in the terminal case  5 . 
         [0058]    As depicted in  FIG. 4 , the terminal case  5  is split horizontally into an upper terminal case  5   a  and a lower terminal case  5   b  at a splitting line  7 . The splitting line  7  is provided so as to further split the insertion hole  9  horizontally. 
         [0059]    Also, as depicted in  FIG. 4  and  FIG. 5 , the upper terminal case  5   a  has tab parts  37   b  that are each fittable into respective tab-fitting parts  37   a  (see  FIG. 7 ) of the lower terminal case  5   b . The tab parts  37   b  are provided with separation therebetween. 
         [0060]    As depicted in  FIG. 3 , a top face of the upper terminal case  5   a  is provided with a terminal pin connection hole  23  at a position distant from the insertion hole  9  for connecting the terminal pin  27 , which is a part of the external power line  4 . As depicted in  FIG. 2 , a tip of the terminal pin  27  is inserted along a direction perpendicular to the splitting line  7  as far as the central vicinity of the terminal case  5 . Also, another tip of the terminal pin  27  is connected to the inverter (not depicted) positioned outside the casing  2 . 
         [0061]    As depicted in  FIG. 2 , a first rubber ring  11   a  is held sandwiched between walls  8  of the terminal case  5 , split by the formation of the insertion hole  9 . 
         [0062]    As depicted in  FIG. 9 , the first rubber ring  11   a  has an engagement concavity  33   a  corresponding to an engaging protrusion  35   a  (see  FIG. 6  and  FIG. 8 ) of the walls  8  forming the insertion hole  9  in the terminal case  5 . The engagement concavity  33   a  is positioned substantially centrally along the side walls of the first rubber ring  11   a  having the engagement concavity  33   a.    
         [0063]    Also, the side walls of the first rubber ring  11   a  that do not have the engagement concavity  33   a  instead have a through-hole  39 , shaped as a hollow having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the internal power line  3 . 
         [0064]    The above-described protrusion and concavity of the engaging protrusion  35   a  on the walls  8  forming the insertion hole  9  and the engagement concavity  33   a  corresponding thereto may be reversed. That is, an engaging concavity and an engagement protrusion may be provided. 
         [0065]    The glass terminal plate  29  is a plate-shaped member made of glass, connected to the terminal pin  27  so as to perpendicularly intersect the axis of the terminal pin  27 . The insulator  31 , which is, for example, tubular and made of ceramic, is provided on the surface of the glass terminal plate  29  on a side thereof where the terminal case  5  is positioned. The insulator  31  is provided as a pair for each one of the terminal pin  27 , the pair being positioned with separation and with the terminal pin  27  therebetween. 
         [0066]    As depicted in  FIG. 10 , a second rubber ring  11   b  covers a portion of the terminal pin  27  between the glass terminal plate  29  and the terminal case  5  that is in contact with the refrigerant within the casing  2 . The length of the portion covered by the second rubber ring  11   b , that is, the distance between the glass terminal plate  29  and the terminal case  5 , is on the order of twice the vertical dimension of the insulator  31  (depicted as the vertical direction in  FIG. 2 ). 
         [0067]    Also, in  FIG. 2 , the second rubber ring  11   b  is step-shaped with a portion having a smaller diameter (on the order of ⅕th smaller in terms of the vertical dimension depicted). The insulator  31  is positioned in the space outside this smaller-diameter portion. 
         [0068]    A plurality of protrusions and concavities may be provided on an inner circumferential face (the portion in contact with the terminal pin  27 ) and bottom face (the portion in contact with the terminal case  5 ) of the second rubber ring  11   b , which serve to improve the seal properties thereof through labyrinth seal effects. 
         [0069]    As depicted in  FIG. 11 , an iron core  41  making up the electric motor  1  is sandwiched (above and below as depicted) by a bobbin  19  made of resin. A coil  15  is wound around the bobbin  19 . 
         [0070]    A lid  17  pressing the coil  15  into place is arranged on the side of the bobbin  19  positioned next to the terminal case  5  (the top side as depicted in  FIG. 11 ). The lid  17  is integrated with the lower terminal case  5   b.    
         [0071]    In  FIG. 11 , the length of the lid  17  along the direction perpendicular to a motor axis L (the horizontal direction as depicted) is approximately equal to the size of the bobbin  19  and covers a portion where the coil  15  is wound. 
         [0072]    A method for assembling the above-described terminal case  5  is described next. 
         [0073]    First, the internal power line  3  is inserted into the through-hole  39  of the first rubber ring  11   a  (internal power line insertion). 
         [0074]    Next, the tab-fitting part  37   a  provided on the lower terminal case  5   b  is fit onto the tab part  37   b  provided on the upper terminal case  5   a  so as to sandwich the inserted first rubber ring  11   a  between the walls  8  split when forming the insertion hole  9  (terminal case fitting). 
         [0075]    Then, the terminal pin  27  to which the second rubber ring  11   b  and the glass terminal plate  29  are attached is connected to the terminal pin connection hole  23  provided on the terminal case  5  (terminal connection). 
         [0076]    According to the configuration as described above, the present embodiment has the following action and effects. 
         [0077]    The splitting line  7  splitting the insertion hole  9  not only splits the terminal case  5  but also causes the first rubber ring  11   a  to be held sandwiched between the walls  8  split by forming the insertion hole  9  so that the interior of the container is liquid tight. Affixing the second rubber ring  11   b  so as to cover the portion of the terminal pin  27  that is in contact with the refrigerant within the casing enables prevention of contact between the refrigerant and the terminal pin  27 , and enables terminal part insulation to be achieved with a simple configuration. 
         [0078]    Also, the glass terminal plate  29 , which is a part of the external power line  4 , and the end face of the inverter container part  43  are fixed in place by the first bolt  45 , such that there is no leakage of liquid refrigerant from the direction of the inverter container part  43 . 
         [0079]    The terminal case  5  is shut tight by the first rubber ring  11   a , thus enabling a configuration in which the first rubber ring  11   a  is unlikely to fall due to pressure differences between the inside and the outside of the terminal case  5 . 
         [0080]    Furthermore, the engagement concavity  33   a  corresponding to the engaging protrusion  35   a  formed on the walls  8  forming the insertion hole  9  is provided on the first rubber ring  11   a . Thus, the first rubber ring  11   a  is prevented from falling from the terminal case  5 . 
         [0081]    The tab-fitting part  37   a  provided on the lower terminal case  5   b  fits onto the tab part  37   b  provided on the upper terminal case  5   a , and in addition, the terminal case  5  is sandwiched between the second rubber ring  11   b  and the electric motor  1 . Thus, the upper terminal case  5   a  and the lower terminal case  5   b  are prevented from separating. 
         [0082]    Also, the terminal case  5  is sandwiched by having one end face against the end face of the inverter container part  43  and the second rubber ring  11   b , and the other end face against the lid  17  pressing the coil  15  into place. Thus, the second rubber ring  11   b  is able to act as a buffer when power is applied from outside. 
         [0083]    When a vibration or the like is applied to the bobbin  19  on which the coil  15  is wound, a coil insulation defect occurs as the coil  15  ravels. Thus, the lid  17  presses the coil  15  in order to prevent unraveling of the coil  15 . However, given that the lower terminal case  5   b  and the lid  17  pressing the coil  15  into place are integrated as one, the electric compressor is achieved with a simple assembly and without losing the objective of pressing the coil  15 . 
         [0084]    The assembly method, which includes inserting the internal power line  3  into the first rubber ring  11   a  and fitting the split terminal case  5  so that the inserted first rubber ring  11   a  is held sandwiched between the walls  8  split by forming the insertion hole  9 , easily enables the interior of the terminal case  5  to be made liquid-tight. Accordingly, the terminal case  5  has insulation properties without requiring that the entire terminal part be covered by resin or rubber. This enables the terminal part to be insulated easily by assembly and attachment. 
         [0085]    The above-described embodiment describes an example applied to a scroll compressor used in a vehicle air conditioning device. However, a typical air conditioner may also be used, as may a multilevel compressor combining a rotary compressor and some other type of compressor. 
         [0086]    The following variations may also be applied to the structure surrounding the second rubber ring  11   b  depicted in  FIG. 2 . 
         [0087]      FIGS. 12A to 12D  and  FIGS. 13A to 13D  depict examples of the variations on the structure surrounding the second rubber ring  11   b  depicted in  FIG. 2 . 
         [0088]    As depicted in  FIG. 12A , a fitting protrusion may be provided on both ends of the second rubber ring  11   b , and a fitting concavity fitting correspondingly with the fitting protrusion may be provided respectively on the casing side and the connecting part container side. 
         [0089]    These fitting parts serve to make the horizontal cross section smaller than the central axle. Accordingly, this enables prevention of breakage in the connecting part container and the glass terminal due to excessive load, without loss of insulation. Also, the fitting is performed by the protrusions and concavities provided between the second rubber ring  11   b , the casing side, and the connecting part container side. These protrusions and concavities thus create a seal effect, such that the second rubber ring need not necessarily be actively sandwiched and impose a large load. 
         [0090]    Then, the natural length of the fitting protrusion on the second rubber ring  11   b  with respect to the axis direction is beneficially longer than the length of the corresponding fitting concavity provided on the casing side and/or on the connecting part container side with respect to the axis direction. Accordingly, the fitting protrusion on the second rubber ring touches the corresponding component first. This enables difficult-to-measure units of tolerance and the like to be absorbed in the narrow portion of the second rubber ring where the horizontal cross-section is smaller. 
         [0091]    Also, as depicted in  FIG. 12B , the axial length of the fitting protrusion on the casing side (the top side as depicted) may be longer than in  FIG. 12A  (e.g., one of the fitting protrusions may be longer than the other fitting protrusion). A low-rigidity component may thus crush the rubber and have the load thereon reduced through elastic forces. 
         [0092]    Also, as depicted in  FIG. 12C , an end part of the second rubber ring  11   b  on the connecting part container side (the bottom side as depicted) may serve as the fitting concavity, while the other end part, on the casing side, serves as the fitting protrusion. Further, as depicted in  FIG. 12D , the second rubber ring  11   b  may be configured with the fitting concavity provided on both ends. 
         [0093]    Also, as depicted in  FIG. 13A , the axial length of the fitting concavity on the casing side (the top side as depicted) may be longer than in  FIG. 12D  (e.g., one of the fitting concavities may be longer than the other fitting concavity). A low-rigidity component may thus crush the rubber and have the load thereon reduced through elastic forces. 
         [0094]    Also, as depicted in  FIG. 13B , the fitting protrusion may be provided on one end part of the second rubber ring  11   b  (the casing side as depicted), and the other end part may be shaped to have substantially the same diameter as the center of the second rubber ring  11   b . In the depicted variation, the horizontal cross-section is smaller than other parts and thus has weaker rigidity, but crushes the rubber of the fitting protrusion and experiences a reduced load due to elastic force. 
         [0095]    As depicted in  FIG. 13D , a hermetic seal  12  may be used during assembly on the casing side in order to preserve insulation. 
         [0096]    Also, as depicted in  FIG. 13C , the central part of the second rubber ring  11   b  may be made narrower than both end parts. In  FIG. 13C , the protrusion and concavity structure is not used for fitting. The central part, which has a smaller horizontal cross-section and thus weaker rigidity, crushes the rubber. Accordingly, elastic forces enable the load to be reduced in comparison to cases where a substantially equal diameter is maintained throughout.
