Vehicle linear motor

A vehicle compressor for mounting on a vehicle, the vehicle compressor comprising:

• a tubular casing;
• a pair of armatures placed and fixed in the tubular casing;
• a mover formed in a flat plate shape and placed to face each of the pair of armatures and to be movable in the tubular casing;
• a support member disposed in the tubular casing and configured to slidably support the mover such that the mover moves in a longitudinal direction of the mover;
• a compression portion including a piston connected with the mover and configured to reciprocate and a cylinder configured to slidably contain the piston therein and form a compression chamber;
• and
• an air dryer connected with a discharge side of the compression chamber and having an inside filled with a desiccant,
• wherein:
• the air dryer is placed on an axis in a moving direction of the mover and the piston;
• the compression portion and the air dryer are arranged such that a center axis of the compression portion and a center axis of the air dryer are aligned;
• the mover includes a plurality of magnets that are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the mover;
• each of the pair of armatures has a magnetic pole at a position facing the mover;
• the tubular casing is configured to be mounted on the vehicle such that the longitudinal direction of the mover is a horizontal direction of the vehicle;
• and
• the mover is placed such that a plate width direction of the mover is a direction configured to be orthogonal to a horizontal plane of the vehicle.
