Abstract
A compressor is provided and may include a shell and a stator. The shell includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The stator may be attached to the shell at the inner surface via a first stake. The first stake may be formed by deforming a portion of the shell into the stator.
Claims20
A compressor comprising:
- a shell having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- a stator attached to said shell at said inner surface via a first stake, said first stake formed by deforming a first portion of said shell into said stator;
- a second stake formed by deforming a second portion of said shell into said stator;
- and
- a third stake formed by deforming a third portion of said shell into contact with an edge portion of said stator to fix an axial position of said stator along a longitudinal axis of said shell,
- wherein said second stake is circumferentially offset from said first stake, and
- wherein said third stake and said edge portion of said stator are offset from said first and second stakes in a direction parallel to said longitudinal axis of said shell.

A compressor comprising:
- a shell having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- a stator attached to said shell at said inner surface via a first stake, said first stake formed by deforming a portion of said shell into said stator;
- and
- a bearing housing disposed within said shell and including an engagement surface opposing said inner surface of said shell, said engagement surface including a first channel and a second channel in communication with said first channel, said first channel and said second channel receiving a deformed portion of said shell therein to fix a position of said bearing housing relative to said shell.

A compressor comprising:
- a shell having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- a stator attached to said shell at said inner surface via a first stake, said first stake formed by deforming a portion of said shell into said stator;
- and
- a bearing housing disposed within said shell and including an engagement surface opposing said inner surface, said engagement surface including a first channel and a second channel in communication with said first channel, said first channel extending further in a circumferential direction than in an axial direction, said second channel extends from said first channel in said axial direction, said first channel and said second channel receiving a deformed portion of said shell therein to fix a position of said bearing housing relative to said shell, wherein a maximum span of said first channel in said circumferential direction is greater than a maximum span of said second channel in said circumferential direction, wherein said circumferential direction extends around a longitudinal axis of said shell, and wherein said axial direction extends parallel to said longitudinal axis of said shell.
